h and i'm here to at least give some kind of update and the only reason why four is because august first one is a week from today i have yes so i do have in place that no matter what happens on saturday we do not know where we're going where the food is going to be brought to the shelves or anything at this point for temporary we're still in the works we're still working on that there's a couple of little plans that we just have to finalize on that but we are moving on saturday period to where now maybe down the street or maybe there's a pod that's right around the corner that i can put on the property that's a  secured joint commitment with a local church that will take the food pantry and give them a permanent a permanent home the space needs some work so that permanent space will be a few months away i don't want to disclose the name of the church yet because you're in the process of putting together a memorandum of understanding you know your usage what our responsibilities ok but the space will be offered the church is very enthusiastic and this space will be offered rent free that some of the other camp to the food pantry number one number two paddy and i are meeting with a local businessman tomorrow who has indicated willingness to take the food pantry on until oct thirty first which will allow them in the same vicinity of the church so it will allow them to do work in the what i would envision is that when everything comes together maybe the food pantry and the pastor of the church come in and jointly you know give an announcement to the board of selectmen and to the town because it's a very nice collaborative that's you take a kid see definitely we're all very excited and it's going to work out well for them for everyone who uses the pantry the other update is i'm going to really putting together a formal board and we're actually going to start meeting move that point for along and we're also going to do a tour of the church and i've got a contractor that's got working with me and just to you know do an exploration of the site what needs to be done how long it would take to develop the space food pantry the last month i'm having them double check to make sure that i have the correct address there are going to receive a flyer in the mail saying exactly when what where and the reason why i'm doing it via mail is just to kind of make sure everybody lives where they say th understand this board behind you as well as a lot of folks in town as well so do anything we can use for you well one of the things that some of the people who do use the food pantry they did white letters and i have i'm actually there in the meeting room and i'd like to leave them with david so that you guys get them this this coming saturday july thirtieth from ten thirty to twelve thirty and they will be celebrating the hundred fiftieth birthday of beatrix potter who is very famous very famously known for writing that that tale of peter rabbit which we all grew up reading or having read to us the event will make the times of the kids yeah it will take place at the home or house and there will be petting zoo and hands on environmentalists learning with friends from the habitat at bake sale irascible much more you know the idea is bring a lot bring a towel sit on their lovely law cancer research which we've been kind of been involved in over the last couple years the owner of create a skate blast one of their dogs to cancer about two years ago no it's a five k i have personally i've interested in and helping us with and you know so they're kind of in the mix and what we're going to do is hopefully get about two hundred fifty people to run and we're going to donate all of the money to chase canine cancer away which is again a canine cancer research guess it's before you to make sure that we can continue clearly the police are sensitive to pain upon the road about church services to make sure it's late or not from the morning and to make sure that the route is  concept and have everything lined up with a specific date and time and that you it can be presented to began for final approval ok and then i think that's what you want to do which is you've got kind of approval clearly the cost of the details and other costs associated with the race need to be figured out and those will have to be paid for by the event absolutely so i think i think i think sunday is probably the preferable day so because i mean i can pick that specific time right now and i think i think what you have to work out with police ok and they told me it had to be approved by you guys but i think you are i think you're you're getting tentative prude move forward ok as long as a specific of the day in the time we've all been signed off by the police and other folks so that there's no conflicts with church services which has been an issue in the past of always been worked out nice to leads will be worked out just to make sure that everything's been figured that they didn't want us crossing the tracks for obvious reasons so that's why we tried the river tracks here create a scape so and then when i was originally planning it i planned we would leave hinder and go up letters regarding the food pantry on weekends i want to go back to they don't mean district though they have it so as some may or may not know the district wide vote scheduled for september twentieth from twelve to eight p m the holy locations will be the same locations that we currently use for regular elections there was some back and forth and discussions and letters written to basically allow us like arlington to maintain our current polling locations as opposed to trying to find a location in one place for all precincts to vote so this vote will be on september twentieth a district wide vote of all the sixteen member districts to approve or disapprove the final and scene of the new minuteman high school if in fact the district wide vote is approved in the majority then the project will move forward however under the revised district agreement if a particular  town votes in the negative it has the option then to ask to withdraw from the district within sixty days and a special town meeting will need to be called and if tommy approves of withdrawal of the district if that town voted no in the general election and that town is not then subsequently allowed to exit the district by the other district members then that district was obviously remain in the district but will not be responsible for the cost of the debt service for the financing of the project obviously if the district is allowed to exit the district and they would not be liable for the debt so  this is a first step in terms of coming to a conclusion of the minuteman high school project and its financing and again the lecture will be held on september twentieth there will be a league of women selectmen on the twenty sixth of september would need to make some decisions to pay upon what transpired on september twentieth ok that is seven the polling you know we can have an opinion but we can't for example send a postcard out to every resident saying this is our opinion but we can post it on the website and then people can look at our boat is that right there that's my understanding from the town clerk but i think in your vote could be informed seems to me jim my or not i'm not saying in terms of how if in fact we as a board decide to be a proponent of leaving the district that say that the special  mean the dates i'm seeing are september twelfth which is illegal and voters and then are you saying that we will have a vote before september twelfth i think we need to hea gene writing you know you know the words if somebody if the public has come to our website to find out what we think you know we're going to have to post something you know we can think about that but twentieth and then depending on which way it goes as you're saying we have sixty days to have a meeting you know david you need to have a lease fourteen days to notify the public of a special town meeting so on september twenty sixth depending upon what the outcome of the election is you would more than likely need to take a vote to hold the special town meeting to adhere to the noticing requirement opinion and we have you know their presentations at the town meeting about the pros and cons and you know how that about will be if in fact because like i could see in the general election you know that as i understand there are appropriations i understand that minuteman is going to send out a postcard concerning the september twentieth election but all they can say is that it's taking place yes they can whether or not they have whether or not there is a district wide vote yes committee which then can allow itself to distribute information i don't know what the organization of a vote yes committee is or is not know and i'm talking about the yes i'm talking about the district minuteman it's my understanding that the district i don't know for sure but i understand they're going to send out a postcard that will inform boaters in the district that this election is taking place so my question is on intent and i installation of the brick pavers on the driveway shortly we are working under the bridge and will be working on laying the groundwork for the sidewalks and the lighting as well as the lighting within the delta we are in the process of cornea day two as you notice that the grind has taken place of the roadway to lay a rough course scheduled for  mid august shortly thereafter about a week it's intice a pated that again that a final course would be laid in belmont center with pavement markings there may be a request that the in order for it to be if approved executed or requested executed by twenty second and then later the month basically there would be the completion of the landscaping irrigation in the delta and then  t would be continued in september of final loman c and miscellaneous areas within the project so we are moving forward again i think there are bridge work items to be done which will be done and the driveway will be coming to shape and then the final paving course work will be there and then work completed so i think that will be good news in addition to that again in anticipation of the tenets movie in the two macy's project we have met and we could continue to meet with the belmont business association to basically make sure we can make the claflin st lot and leonard street with the installation of metering stations as as efficient and effective as possible again as we have said we will spend some time as things evolve and belmont center with new tenants moving in to basically make adjustments but i think we are screwed somewhere in terms of in terms of the claflin street and trying to make sure that we have as many spaces available for patrons as possible by reorganizing organizing the parking permit holders alike we obviously won't form the board but again we're moving forward on the metering stations and having continued conversations with the business association to make sure that we can be very concerned about this taking place we appreciate their patience with this reconstruction is going to be beautiful i see the signs about ability to reevaluate what we do and what she will and i think you know the business community has much concern about the increase in the cost of parking for their employees and you know so that's that's something we need to think about we evaluate a plan cos i think we will continue to do that even before the project is completed so were ahead of the curve because i think depending upon what tenants move into the macy's proper formations property will dictate what kind of patron parking is required i think clearly we're understanding that we're trying to organize the parking so that to the extent possible we can have available spots for patrons into basically utilize the free parking areas and to utilize lenard to generate parking turnover so i think we're all trying to put all those things together there's some signage differences that we need to do  trash in the receptacles have notified some folks that is not a public barrel for public trash it's meant for business trash so i think we're trying and the trash is being emptied daily as part of the new voting day weekends we have our staff do it on saturday we do it for the other question point is once the it's completed in the tent and the green is completed and brick walkway the next decision point for us is of the things that we want to be very cognizant and clear about is that when we see the green space we need to make sure we allow it time for it to take him to be watered and not to be trampled because if we open up all to so it will not be a green space so i suspect if you look at space so what i suspect you will see is you will whence we do the greening of the space we may block it off so we can take because otherwise it will going pretty well i think in all fairness like any major construction project it things happen and clearly i think our team is try to adjust to make make corrections clearly in an ideal world it would be done a little bit sooner but there's always feel conditions that get in the way in scheduling so i think they've adjusted they've been able to move with some curveballs have been thrown their way i think we understand and we clearly are cognizant of the need to finish this is soon as possible and some of the frustration that the business is of felt but i think we've been trying to work with them so i preach at the comments and i think the the effort has been try to get it done as soon as possible obviously sooner would have been better but i think we're at the homestretch right and then could i just ask there there isn't a walk through from the cleveland parking lot into leonard street currently unless you go through champions or through  know but i understood that as part of the foodies reconstruction there's going to be a way to get from cleveland to leonard street kind of off hours if you will if it champions is closed or if the laundromat or the working with him as well ok i have two quick things one is that we received on june twenty eighth a letter to ourselves to glen burial in glynn says that you know he has twenty thousand agents for community development and they pointed out to us that there was a traffic signal that was located over here instead of next to the crosswalk and what happened was over since then glenn has been able to negotiate moving that to where and so i just wanted to thank god george and lucy and for bringing it to our attention because it's not the kind of thing that normally pops up and also i think community development they followed through with the state and they moved it and if it hadn't been done it would be one of those things that would be there for thirty years and everybody would go why did they put this traffic signal over and so bob is calling me i want to call him back and forth he's following up just to see how we're doing and so i wanted to talk to you and sammy about i'd like to call him  tomorrow in telling him that you know whatever whatever we can discuss tonight i don't think tonight's the night to discuss what we're going to do about the retirement fund or the security study that we funded a few years ago school security guards are ok to maybe perhaps that's fine but and then on the second piece page three chair paul stated that the money there would need to be raised by the harris boosters you had any questions
