pecos we've started last week and we're finishing it this week and then on seven thirty we're going to enter into executive session for two reasons first is to negotiate with nonunion personnel in a second one is to review the executive session minutes that we have on director last night was the first night of our flushing program that we announced last week the area we covered last night was from was east west from chestnut street the more street and nor solid from the old camp on oak street to the bleachery on more street  we were very successful in obtaining good data for development of the hydraulic water system model and in cleaning the pipes the water system recovered more quickly and then when you expected and we had only it's five or six brown water calls today and they were located close to the middle of the area which isn't surprising because you know when you do an area the middle usually is the hardest one to get out that quick clean up is the result of the new sequester and we are adding  most of the active wells and the clean water being added to the system from the which pond filtration plant the program continues tonight on old street all the way from mechanic street to cook cassatt street and that's the only street they're go tonight please note that the flushing program will continue until the entire one hundred fifteen miles of the system are clean that is expected to last several weeks the latest information on where and when flushing will occur is available on the town website or by calling the water department office and we have we will update the map on the website periodic lead each week to show the area that's going to be done the next week this this whole week will be people living here and what would become foxborough first drawing together to build a meeting house so that they could petition to become a town they had all pushed to the very very outer reaches of the the law was very very clear you had to have a meeting house had to have a minister and we don't get to celebrate two hundred fiftieth anniversary is very often but i thought that it would be just a a great opportunity to draw together and be very informal on the com for any any questions and it was very excellent i am concerned about some of the things that we were hoping to get fabulous job on the common i mean they should be commended for for the kid that they give it but we just got those mechanical things that just got to be taken care of you this isn't the first time you sent a letter it was in a packet a month or two leaderboard the courtesy of dealing with it back in one thousand seven hundred seventy two we were heavily heavily engaged in the save the common fence program in time and when we finally finished and had a rededication of the common the wing of the world war two tablet i'd be a lot more comfortable if you give me your blessing to take it up put it on a separate rock and just put it over and then the strobes is somewhere doesn't belong where what to tablet humble read g before you go kevin so he's saying we've got a good two hundred fiftieth coming up on june seventh which is four five weeks away five weeks away six weeks away can you check with roger to make know week later i think we should probably still have the same sorrow and anger and anxious about it but a week later i just want to reach out and give thanks to the several foxborough police officers that had gone over there on special forces to address it and i was amazed at how many foxboro residents who are police officers in different towns also went over there that you know that you can live next to as well as that the neighbors in the businesses and even the churches kind of all coming together this is as it is recently as yesterday just as the one week passed for the moment of silence so it's just fox very very lucky we weren't hit like some of the other towns that had people that had died but i mean as a community we certainly took a step back in we're not as insulated as we thought so a lot went on the week but i just want to say thanks for all the people that stepped up and all the community support and kevin you were involved in that as well you got intelligence analysis team and in their capacities they were all called in immediately for effect i know they were all in there monday night and they stayed in for quite a while during the week dear officer please accept this letter of commendation for your participation in the pursuit and eventual capture of the perpetrators perpetrators of the recent act of terrorism at the boston marathon because of your actions and that of your brothers and sisters in law enforcement to terrorism no longer a threat to our community every day police officers face mortal danger in completing their work this simple fact goes largely on heralded and as poorly understood by the very citizens of the community that you protect the recent terrorist events showcase the grave danger which is an integral part of the work of your profession through the prism of media coverage we have been able to see that work and reach a new understanding of the dangers you face we join with you in mourning the death of your brother sean collier and we pray for the speedy recovery of dick donohue to say that we admire you deeply would be an understatement of the proportion the stay that we understand how you face such danger daily as that which we witnessed and that you do so with calm demeanor and professionalism would be for us a life we are humbled by your example and we are hugely grateful but we must admit that we cannot understand but this we do know it has been said that greater love hath no man than that he or she would lay down their life for others you express that love in the cars that feels it every day and for that you have the admiration and love of a grateful community in return with the deepest respect c a manager and that was offered on behalf of the whole voyage to those three outstanding offices and i will tell you they were the two swat officers and the ten in hand and were right i mean really about as in the thick of through i can't compare it to anything i've ever had to go through and i really i think the whole boy specially our hearts go out to the families that suffered and for the officers in watertown this is you know regular guys like you know probably don't know that we we support our law enforcement officers with all kinds of training and when it came to be needed it worked so i'm really proud of this community and all the other communities involved but i think we also need to be very thankful to their families these officers families for what they've had to endure as they worried for their family members so i think that was very well done  thank you to get two dates coming up may thirteenth there's some confusion in discussion back and forth one's election and one's town meeting may thirteenth as it's a monday it's always been a monday stain on a monday and that for the people at home that's something that this board works very hard at least once sometimes twice a year to get warrants to the town meeting to vote so that i think collectively we can say take the time to go out on may thirteenth raise your hand it's easy to criticize and play second you know second guess but our government our town is run simple warrant articles and they're all important so i may thirteenth take the time to go to the town meeting every department head has gone through this board as well as the advisory committee and this is an important day election is may and sorry abel thirtieth which is on a tuesday and we if you remember we had to move that to coincide with the state i running in john gray's here as well as many as four so school committee members for a couple seats there's a couple there's one school committee person running unopposed and this is planning board and water and sewer and and i could probably say we don't mind doing what we're doing we're not complaining but we're asking you just to come out and vote it's a simple thing it's open all day and in light of what happened last week you know just don't take it for liberty that for granted because that's how towns function we're not appointed by a mayor or elected and so just take the time to come out on both days as for asking right before the meeting mark asked me and i don't know if it's tradition or he said he did it couple years chairman i've had six different chairman and he stood out when you stood strong and very well you speak very well you treat everybody on this board we all do for the right reasons i think so very much i have to say i'm just i'm an uncomfortable situation right now i'll say this this wasn't a gym thing like i can safely the same thing about linda and it's it's so i mean everybody i mean everybody in the board it's been a pleasure i mean you've just done an outstanding job to chant i want to recognize that i agree i think you've done a great job i really the idea of the chairman's update has been a great addition for everybody and really helpful informative and you know i think it's been a good year we got a lot done and i've also enjoyed working with this board i dare anybody to say anything differently but this was my first year and i really truly have enjoyed working with everybody i'll tell you at this time is very lucky you have a very dedicated people and they're very generous with their knowledge  they're welcoming they taught me a lot this person and i really appreciate it and i really do think that this is an exceptional board i've been in town for a long time i've seen boards come and go but worked with six just like you and you know we had some things to overcome and i think that we did we worked out well this this time things could have gone really bad really quickly after the episodes of last year but they didn't and i think it's because of the commitment that we have to the town and at the end of the day that's all it's about isn't so and whatever the load is due on next tuesday it will be for the best for the town itself just throw one more thing out there i just want to thank heaven for your tolerance of five individuals you know all the information that you've provided and helped us be able to work well on projects together and all of your employees their work is very much appreciated too because without them you know we can't really put things together so we i  absolutely positively on the side of what's good for this community as you say a pet is absolutely for sure kudos to you whatever happens and whatever i'm working for next week i wish you all the best that's for sure last meeting it was one warrant article that jenny abstained from because she wanted to get more information and she subsequently went to the advisory committee vetted it out through the process it was the housing trust and got a lot of the questions section fifty five establishing a municipal affordable housing trust for a period of time to expire on july first two thousand and sixteen zero take any actions and that was sponsored by the planning board and i think the question you we put a sunset clause on there over a blanking blanketing over state statute right and town councils opinion was that it was legal as written and that was my concern because we made a motion  the playing board for bringing that forward so and thank you for the opportunity to refinance so kevin correct me if i'm wrong all the war dollar bills have been voted they're all in order they're all in printing in the ad com i think because considering the last one i was presenting i'll be presenting the police memorandum of agreement hope whatever over many of you can get there can get the i've written a powerpoint presentation it goes with the whole you know why we did what we did this survey wage comparison all that work that we did the lead up to the final round of the agreement i'll present that to the advisory committee tomorrow night given copies of the memorandum of agreement will be followed by some comments from the chief from the president of the union randy of course has done his usual excellent work in costing it all out in his present spreadsheet to go through that and then once we've given our presentation questions and whatnot it is a substantial step we've taken so some support from the board would be appreciated i know if mark can make it he's been there deliberate together like you can go off in a corner and have a chat about something that was there and come out and report you know what you talk about but the five of you can make your own comments to the meeting perfectly legally top manager in the salary field and if you recall last week or two or three weeks ago it's this process started with kevin had presented us his self evaluation the highlights of the year last week we went through the spreadsheets and did our own evaluation and we stopped there the last part was the salary of you and this is all hand in hand with what's in his didn't expect and wasn't really prepared to discuss with us tonight but it's it's up to the board if you want to continue the conversation i mean i can jump in but i didn't expect to see you on so many things that kind of requests it's just that because we couldn't have a meeting for three weeks because we had a meeting on the same day as the election and we had a we meeting the following week so we're in this three weeks i just want to clean up last year's work i was ready to step into next year's work at that time so i just didn't know how the rest of the board felt about that maybe maybe i missed it did you guys have that same understanding and i thought we were going to talk about the salary tonight i wasn't sure if it was going to be an executive or open  returning or not so put someone in the position of having to vote on compensation which is a follow up to the review you know the five of you have done the review because you know what my performance has been last year in the five of you should decide but if that were not to be the case then that is going to put a new board member in extraordinarily difficult position and i think you know you will put in a position last year and i think the whole point of the way my contract is written is to prevent that from happening so that i review and the salary discussion occurs before the election the second point is i think you only have one more meeting and depending before the town meeting and if there is if the board decides no increases merit of all that's fine but it's also but if you do decide to something is merited then that's going to get budgeted because my budget is way too thin you know the absorb anything  put in narrow would have to put in article sex i'm not sure which of those are any but that's the other reason you've got to decide you know in a timely manner so i would encourage the board to take to make the decision tonight  because it's just for those two reasons would the board consider discussing this in executive session often we have nonunion personnel posted so we could you know we're going to do it we did it last year in the open why wouldn't we do it this year in the open i mean the where the board requests i just doesn't much matter to me i just wish i had  d agree with that the one thing kevin that he had said and i talked about this last week too if you look at your contract that there's a may first date and that's when we had to have your town manager evaluation done  that was so we wouldn't bring a book or a new board member in and put them at the disadvantage they had last year so we specifically change that the salary review says july first right and it's not required to be done prior to the election it's just practically speaking the salary the same and i understand that but we as the review i think both of these were after may first we intentionally brought the review to may first so our current board can evaluate you in a use this example last week where where like for instance where that we're looking at a salary increase for our fire chief or an adjustment on a five year contract members weren't necessarily on that five year duration but yet we're evaluating them you know and i think there is a benefit sometimes to looking at a salary view without the baggage good or bad in the sense a baggage but without the influence of having to work with that person for the year because you can look at the reviews and look at from a different perspective not having that personal intimate knowledge so i'm not opposed to doing a had in the contract because it got changed so the current board looks at it in gives in the review but a new board can give a person a salary based on looking at the review in context with everything else and there's always going to be a changing of the guy crowd so i would think he's pretty much up to date on the review process and all the requirements i saw how does the and i apologize if i put this on the agenda and it wasn't clear at the last but we've got mark if we look at the schedule in lorain was just asking me about the potential of us meeting on may seventh because we've got a bunch of license license applications that can't wait till the warrant and then you meet the night of the thirteenth anyway i would pose that you know usually there's nothing to do so you don't actually end up meeting but we post an hour how far a meeting with a town meeting and then you'd meet on the twenty first to take a break on the fourteenth respect to the so i'm eating the seventh the thirteenth in the twenty first said ok with everybody so i kevin to put you off no no that's ok i actually i've got some military stuff coming up in may and june and i'm trying to they're being very flexible with me and may because we're just in rhode island so i mean we get back here pretty easily and they they were very nice and said sure you want to come back for meetings you need to come by for stuff during the day that's great the first two weeks of june i've got to go to mississippi you know why does he want to get back from mississippi but the seventh in the twenty first in the thirteenth i'll be here all those nights and i work so perfectly bell summarized the questions of the board that's when all the speakers came up in the tiffen i think the rise of questions of the speakers at those one of the boards and this was more of a question if you guys can answer kevin's not here right now on the second to last paragraph the last sentence is or this is regarding the tiffen invensys over the fifteen year period the town will collect one billion in taxes revenue talking about the tip did you say one billion in tax revenue tax or taxes or related income like meals tax well what it's all tax revenue i said gross revenue revenue from all sources a managers performance review says mr pic was presented the board with his goals and objectives that i think what happened was mr baker was presented the board with his performance highlights that's the that was a title of it for the past year in cross off notes just right verbal we got that and then say a written narrative will be sent to the board members also and two paragraphs down from that it says mr pecos stated that a few of the goals are accomplishment or accomplishments i think it's mr paco stated that a few of the accomplishments are accomplishments with others and just not him a request for a one day beer and wine license for h p h our second annual kidney run to be held on may fifth eleventh at the america's best value in at one o five washington street and that's  harley riders they had a question on this at the kevin when someone applies for a license and they say the hours the exact times of the license of five thirty to nine thirty in i just looked at their advertisement in the face book they said they're open from one thirty to one am liquor license you look at license by law once you grant him a liquor license to certain hours that they were allowed to be open by law and in a certain i was at the licensing authority can establish by your decision your policy says that you grant licenses to one a m last drink one thirty on drinks off the table i'm sorry twelve thirty all drinks on table four forty five so they're advertising am they're within the guidelines of your regulation except that they you haven't voted yet if it's a new license i mean if we try to get existing license it's this is a second annual but on their license application  washington street second and under further discussion and believe me that they day had no problems last year not bringing this up but they also say has a sunday entertainment license been applied for in the answer is no but they're advertising for live bands i just hate to approve this and then have them they can advertise whatever they like but now that i think they're going to have it but they haven't asked for it on this to one of their own risk to approve the appointment of jennifer six a doozy it's a committee appointment renewals and what you have in your packages five pages and there's probably about one hundred point the renewals this represents said it many times to volunteer isn't that we have in town is incredible our policy over the last few years of change a little bit but what we're saying is if you got to this list and there's somebody that sticks out or you don't think they're equipped for it or you have an issue we'll pull that person out and vote on it separately or maybe haven't come in for an interview if you got through the list and it's full of gratitude that these people are volunteering and you have no need for an interview and there's no conflict then we can make one vote for all of them that's we've got about one hundred of them to sign up tonight so discussion with the board  a letter in here addressed to the selectmen from the west bridgewater board of selectmen and you kind of caught my attention it basically says with respect to the southeastern regional vocational technical school kevin they came in front of us and there's a provision in the state law that said if some of the communities can't afford it then i'm using my own words and some of the other communities step up and pay their share  higher assessments in order to compensate for the lower assessments for other communities in can we join them and go to the state in basically say and this is a quote from them it is time that the cia provide us with the promise funds so that we conduct town business with accurate and deserve local aid figures and i wouldn't mind drafting a letter to support that if where if one town is paying more for the other saying if that if the other town can't pay their share but the state needs to step in rather than the other towns because it's coming out of our budget and that that's why i'm reading this it's a change in the in the formula is this regional school formula has been an issue for years and years and years i sort of going to couple of times force a state level to try to fix it and they passed chapter seventy for local schools they got it out of the regional schools at the last minute missed the form it was a disaster and i've never been able to change it because if they change it somebody pays more somebody pays less and i never want to do it this is kind of a different way to get at the same issue that ends up sticking the state with more and none of the time with more the governor is on board with  i don't see any harm in going forward i would want to randy to take a look at this just to be sure that there wasn't any issue but you know i don't without condition  for the thought to the board that you might want to do pass a motion but with the condition that when you take a look at it you show there's no hidden traps here for us to make and then drive you know i don't know if we need to on this but if you make it a condition here's what i do however and you look at it if we find that there's no problem then you're done you know what it goes if on the other hand you know randy tells me t when here we go into executive session talk about addressing the past minutes and also the nonunion personnel negotiations by the motion made second in row called linda
