and form their own group we used to have an economic development committee in jericho sort of fell apart we were sort of hoping that they would get together and because they do what they did that they would be able to provide some input got some smaller farms that are doing well and we have some nice businesses certainly snowflakes off but we're you know we have to take huge factor i think  so that if there's anyone in the audience they can follow along with what we're doing anyway for the most part either of our laptops or probably got print outs but that's just one thing that i think importance i think of village centers separated by countryside i told the group tuesday that was of the nineteen seventies i think when they were an active couple in  isaac and katrina stokes whose son sam workin washington d c i think with a nonprofit that was recreating rivers who taught a course that you a summer course called saving the countryside and i attended that and that's what i've been trying to do ever since with at least make success country about what to do but i have to say i don't know what they've been doing because i studiously stayed away because i don't want to be a nuisance of but i think in general they've always been they're usually wishy washy one point comes to shove push comes to shove center parking should be behind a business and in the commercial district nurse to be behind the business while it's equally important there i don't know why we just encourage it say on front porch for or somewhere but i i think you know we find out eventually or they find out eventually that people are very interested in whatever becomes a hot topic but they don't come to the surface until it's i think that could stimulate the interest i suspect that a large proportion of their courses don't feel that they really have a voice that will do them any good to be here how i have a question for you when the so knowing that the planning commission is representing the entire town and knowing that our goal has been to diversify the planning commission with a mix of people who are a lot of experienced people and not as much experience people who come from different types of work and with different goals or perspective they come up and you know sort of what your way your analyst in dealing with tricky situations where there's like hot issues that people really disagree about i think it's important although it's hard to listen keep your mouth shut for one instance here but i would certainly everybody's entitle to an opinion and they should  sometimes we frequently and recently we've done too much nickel and dime me i think we should give our player more power to make decisions and we seem to spend too much time on shall we should fifty percent or thirty percent instead of looking at everything but you know there's a lot of members there t know the today fed could been put out there with the twenty fifth and twenty six which are tuesday and wednesday generally it seems to there's less parking lot conflicts on a wednesday right  so i had had started out with the twenty first and then i didn't change catherine's gnocchi pick it up but penciled in and the other members of the twenty six  made the decision that they no longer want to rotate years plowing the park i believe levy is meeting with them and at their meeting on the thirteenth  i've spoke with doug and it's not currently our year to do it but he doesn't think it's a burden on their operations whatsoever different ways it goes and i think really depends on if yes underhill is definitely saying they've no longer want to do it and we're going to have to figure out some arrangement because it's unlikely that it would be easy for the park district to find a contractor to do it every other year and if we're doing it every year than than where share in having more of the burden than then underhill so think so i think of the really difficult to do a we've had we have one here and the last fourteen that was actually the town a little bit of history this goes back a long time and the park was born basically since the year two thousand work oldtown both select boards agreed to plow alternate years and therefore we were able to keep it out of our budget a pickup truck and there was a difficulty with large truck plowing that we were told that one year that we would need to hire an outside contractor to plo and we did and it was it was for up for that was in dollars that one year to have the part plant both towns and we agreed early on the park is last priority as far as filing goes on but or so but it's not a high priority and never never was and never will be but what about one year we did contract out it was it was expensive to the park but that's quite a lot of expense day in the park weather and it depends on notification that this was an issue so i want to bring it to your attention he's going to do this like we're going to hopefully get it gave the understanding of what they're thinking of and did they make a definitive decision they're not doing it no matter what or are they open to still considering to do it but what i want to hopefully get from you to give to live is that where we also possibly say no we have no  i mean how we'd have to work it out so that they would pay so that we would consider let's say that was let's just consider more you know over five thousand dollars a year which seems crazy but who has five thousand dollars a year and they will do it every other year then they take a forty percent to ten thousand dollars right so because because of that chuck of those two years they pay forty percent of that so they give two thousand dollars a ok all favor of that motion please say i and so that that concludes the normal business is there any other business and are we entertaining are we likely to be doing an executive session where you know ok you know your show we've moved to the idea of our own discussion of the issue of numbers because what we have because said jessica said if we want to have any information for those who early ballot we should have an information for them based on what of the board to have individual opinions about this what is a proper way to express one of our first question is and i magine if the board voted and move moved and voted on the position it will be allowed to have such a position put out if you didn't do that individual board members could in their capacity as vot do that privately i guess i correct yeah i think so if you had one person a group disagree from the other two they feel in their motion they could probably asked to explain something information if even if not even if nothing else we need something that you talked about the different positions that you know the idea because like people have come to us and said well they signed a petition because matters privately and everything we do every substantial discussion for this one takes place in open place in a morning meeting we do talk about procedure are we going to be where are we going to  e can you be there i've got the stuff but the actual substance we do go up the minute you have five people and the two of them can caucus and outside the view of the public talk as much as they one of those two go talk to the other and all the business of the select board will be done behind closed doors that's the way it really happens and has a voice sounds that is true and i don't think very many people appreciate that function because if you can't get people good people to run we had an awful lot of open slots not you know for this let's put it as a sarah leave it all kinds of positions in the town interested in it and that's that's my concern is that we make sure that people understand what their place is because ultimately it is there i'm here on your hands and you know we're not we're not one voice here and so that's why we're talking about well we would outline this before the world and what it is we want to say i mean i did see benefits in having a larger board because when there's two of we've had a three person board of seven hundred ninety one is there any perception in the town that this doesn't work that it's broken that we have a badly managed town with a dysfunctional split for the you asked that question who cares way you guys think which is a good question did we answer you did you feel like you got a real answer and you tell me i don't agree that i still think i said i and i'm not and i remember i was like bored and don't there but we're saying ok you think that but we believe that this is about the way that i mean right i feel like it's the same thing because they were in that case in that case the school board had a chance to lay out you know it's it's it argument and take it to the voters the voters said nope sorry and this case if we don't have a chance i'm not saying we should as it were i hear you i don't think it's i don't think it's an official thing i think that john as you're white house to doesn't have to have an opinion one thing to think about is i think you could it would be rather small you could put out of a faction vicious facts what would this article do and what would happen if it's approved go would happen if it  isn't just so people know the basics without any you know covering of if you choose not to have a position of watch where the other just of people know you know like as you've been made aware if if if it's approved  special election during that time you know the people will be considered a five member board but you know we actually have three so every single leading must have every single one of us and our three of you would have to vote the same in the rules they can't work that they were gridlocked they were you know and they change their rules everybody had something to say about it that was an internal thing they used it you know in the media whatever that wasn't like the populous could never change the senate rules though because and there just to do would be impossible to organize that kind of effort to change the way the senate is run they have to do it internally and now if we don't like the way our senator voted on that then we have to vote or senator out but that means to me that we us three need to make ourselves clear how we feel about this now that we as a board but we ourselves because we're being but we're being we're being voted on individually and never in the same year so it's you know if people in jericho you know support your position on this it's your position that i think at some point i think i'm going to go
