hour work work week schedule beginning in april twenty third in new moon or poor twenty eighth and we'll start in the month of people that we're in right now when the first items that we're working on that greeting and shaping all these gravel roads tree muddier is pulling gravel to areas that need it all the next order of business will be starting to sweep the sidewalks which might even possibly start tomorrow and jeff has added replacing the double yellow line on the truss bridge of here that doesn't stay room on moving into the construction turns of the summer in may  hundred feet that has a lot of springs in that as a lot of subsurface water that we have a lot of problems with and try to get this water to a dream get a positive dream job that will be a year in advance of rebuilding the whole world it's step one of the rebuild taking a week prior to through picking week after so we keep everything moving so we get people be able to mourn doesn't stop the problems need extra meetings prior to the fourth of july celebration on here again we put up the flag for the fourth of july fourth  on this year's this year's gravel plan or the road is point three miles is getting fabric a new surface joined brick road is one point four miles it's getting fabric and surface the very bottom williams hill was a point two miles and never got so in august we're looking to take point three miles of where the road we've got a lot of road base issues in this section a road if bricks up every year there's all kinds of springs under it we're going to take a foot of that material back out in there rebuild there about the middle of august maybe third week of august will start our trucking bringing all this fabric and gravel is there resurfacing these roads the road side more will get stopped for that will be all the people in the town property means will continue which it has to and then we finished getting in our stand for the winter and stockpiling would typically stock up to three hundred yards of gravel for miscellaneous washouts mud spots whatever we don't need a large one we're going to have some finish up any roadside knowing that's what you know then we start preparing our trucks and equipment for the upcoming lovely winter season november catch up any  if you want to talk about crime statistics all the other cases remain open because we don't have enough probable cause to charge of those this year since the first year we've had four right now we've had three of them in the last three weeks to w person that did it the homeowner doesn't want to do anything turned out to be somebody knows refuses to give us a statement it's somebody that is recovering alcoholic drug user and he thinks he needs a second chance so all we do pretty much all day today dealing with those cases we have as of about three thirty this afternoon we've identified a viable suspect in that one differ from the first two that we've already  they actually are dead while bill which is a rarity it's not like t v where it's going to forty eight minutes in the computers fitted out we're actually going to take a finger prints to bloomington p d they run it through they have a different system we have no suspects that we're going to get in there names of you know that in a breath we're going to run through their system because because they have a smaller system that these people are known in their system it's a lot quicker if you go to the serial numbers track then keep them somewhere photos are also very important because if you tell me one of the officers that you know i had a necklace or it is ring or i had a gold watch that doesn't do a lot of good investigations or investigations or are limited sometimes by the victims themselves and here again we get back they don't know if they had stolen a crime scenes  the surrounding area for the most part or on target those people and i see some of this in the front were forming it's really good you know how we got the information they were hauling a we just charged for another crime last week so i was going to ask that question about working with other towns because i would assume some of the ones close by it could be the same perpetrator this particular lot because the young man was almost saying what they're using to get into the houses and stuff and now they're going through their houses and one in jericho so are you communicating with these other place officers in these other towns or is there how do clearing house just break here or buy a wal mart and any time we get certain information we do this for it's not probable cause it's reasonable had here we have two different groups we know we have two different groups there and but fortunately are these groups are tied in because they're all in trade breakdown and it gets very time consuming because prescription drugs and especially to get it you have to count on the one they did steal it what when they steal unique things is better for us they stole the victims a collection of silver spoons thirty and we also got their video so one person went in but on the video we get her and her boyfriend going it looks like he's carrying a laptop back with a laptop that they didn't do anything illegal i took photographs of the tracks which are now sent to other agencies to match up with photographs that they've taken track we don't have a crime here that particular thing but it may match have any sharing that i know the way to start is like a pro so i put out last year's a part time somebody is a detective that may be retired once they'll do it but not forty hours a week suppression hearing the motion to dismiss a motion for this now you get to my officers tired out usually forty five hours through these hearings and the worst part is they were at work nights park so we're not immune we're getting counted and until the they do whatever they have to do to get a handle on the drug problem it's going to continue to get worse in the drug problem things of that nature but this is based off the field c t model animal control ordinance one of the key features allows us to take peter duesberg corrective measures against dogs the earlier is fo hear tell or tell or doesn't like that part of our car so maybe we backed up and said what problem are we trying to solve and what are the significant differences here so to act depending on the severity of all the control officer to be called police could be called the health officer could be notified and and then what do you do that the people expect you to do so so this ordinance gives you the authority to issue financial penalties and also gives you forty to impound the dog if necessary and also euthanize dogs if it's necessary i can't imagine a situation where that would really happen but i suppose that if the dog was really situations where we need didn't have a policy here in place to act and here we really are receiving a lot of these kind of complaints where it's just starts here attacking people that were not here i would i would say a lot several years ordinance basis to take that was really just a threat so the system we have now this raid says the dog needs to leave town and the dog does but we don't have any back back right so terry mentioned something to be you know i was stressed i was somewhat struck by section ten which you know i'm reading sort of the narrowest of the broadest so a dark bites a person on the dark owner's property of the dog and humane way it just seems a little extreme to me but one can ask what part seems extreme killing a dog who bit somebody on their property now we get into the point of saying well was that provoked because it says without provocation so the dog can't really testify on his or her behalf right so if the dog goes into your house where your dog is on property the dog this is my original issue with with the ordinance the state law that we currently operate under doesn't say anything about personal property and in fact if you look i was looking at  around different ordinances essex junction excludes from there and starts are under control and they can define that control as being on the owner's property right  and so you just kind of get into the situation where you have to judge i mean in the ordinance that says a potentially vicious is not a dog that was protecting your defending itself its offspring another pet or an animal or person from attack or assault so you know you have a little bit of that going of that kind of protection there if it was on your own property but you don't have that protection if someone just walked on your property without your permission and the dog happens to be a vicious dog or a potentially vicious dog who threatens you or bites you out of the whole thing you know i said this last meeting just seems like another policy searching for a problem i do we have a problem with people going on to people's property again bitten by dogs that requiring serious medical attention it sounds neighbor's dog who got into the street it was a rescue dog and i can picture a scenario where somebody would go on if the dog is chained up somebody goes on the property the dog bites dogs to defend their property i'm not interested in being a part of that we already have to do it under state law if it's on public property or anywhere off the owner's property in fact but in terms of on the owners property so i don't think it's for us to investigate prey so but i understand the reasoning behind it i just don't think it's something me we would really be able to implement and fairway is my concern i'm just i'm finding the idea of premises without provocation really tenuous concerning the prospect of interviewing a dog not more and more to that point mike i i have a hard time just from my understanding of animal psychology of understanding you know figuring out what  is that is potentially vicious as if it's on its own property their animals their pack animals they're designed to protect their turf their packing their their property to make a law that allows you to have an animal like this but penalize you for it being a dog is silly well what if we did this what if we you know if right has a strong feeling i'd be inclined to invite him in and have a conversation including him but my inclination today would be to follow i'm not sure the keitel can tailor title twenty to follow the core requirements of title twenty and say that's what we're going to which this essentially does it in my opinion if we are going to adopt this today there's no reason to amend it in any way because the only difference between this misunderstand my understanding of what we have existing simply applies to what's at the airports at the park now we have an animal control it's it's essentially a leash law it does where do we want to go so you're saying this is more comprehensive than the other state line and if you know that there are  problem have a copy of the ordinance available and talk with including public comment looking at the document my inclination is perhaps similar to taylor's to think about this scope of state law and ma cleaning up our ordinance to comport with state law but i'm really torn about the on the premises issue with taylor that to me it's a dramatic departure from or you could make changes to see so do we want to leave it as it is for the next i would leave it i personally to leave it as is and then we can see if there's more public coming ok so the dog ordinance is tabled until the april twentieth meeting yes  and restructuring the technical posed it may be helpful since people don't have in front of them to just talk about what  application fees permit fees building permits or permits one of the first change we're talking about is low enabling what we had called temporary certificate of occupancy  d under technical review fees were clearly restructuring forty two of these r residential construction were eliminated that it's determined by staff that it's archaic a lot of other channels have recently gotten rid of that it was supposed to be tied to do away with school impact fees the largest communities cited burlington are not doing that one day will have to repair the schools or build a new one and i think the technical review fees are arbitrary and expressed concern if this doesn't go through the water sewer commission that the users themselves will have spent a fair amount of money especially essentially on speculative expansion  and our system is designed to do that you can't get too up on fote and you have to do certain things you have to spend money to get to the point of deciding whether it's viable or including engineering plans so the water sewer system will have spent money expansion which was both in the interests of the system and arguably and the concern from commission members is if the plant does not move forward modestly funded water sewer system would be out substantial revenue and speculation is looking to see if that happens will be looking  nothing in front of us that would indicate that the expansion is going to happen the water commission felt initially it came up again recently that this is a conversation we should have now in case  future plans don't happen we just want to begin the conversation of paying for the endeavor should it not  should this project not happen this is something that the water and sewer users would have to pay for but they got no benefit from it going into it it was pretty clear that the town had some potential benefit of the project going through some of the water and sewer commission who want to begin this conversation because the water and sewer users potentially have a lot to bear on this with no benefit to it so yeah i want to back up to this memo where we've paid a thousand dollars because of an emergency action access that was part of the scoping study for the school ok i can't understand why the school wouldn't pay a thousand dollars for that part of the scoping study i'm not sure why the town is paying for it that beyond the really when you talk about tonight i do no and i will not support the town paying for this scoping study this project is to benefit the system to expand and stabilize the system and potential lower the cost of the users the current cost to the users on the system is not and it is to support the mission of the water sewer department it was never part of the discussion that the town should be paying for any of this  and if it was going to be it should have started during the last budget cycle so that money could have been allocated if the board had agreed i find this entirely inappropriate of the water sewer commission to come and do  this even to start the conversation that water sewer commission has a budget separated from the town for a reason so that the water sewer department can support itself without needing additional assistance through revenues generated there's a business risk associated with any development and if we're going to fall back to the town to bail out the water sewer department any time they take a risk to improve the system it's never going to work how can the town  assured that the water circle missionaries did everything possible to make this project work knowing that they can come back and have the whole estate if it were paid for it can't happen it can't happen so i will not support this and i will speak fervently against it from now on that i'd like to know more about what we mean by kasha i mean it is the town is actually a water users well so i understand that fishel for the town to you know at the cost of this and i understand where you're coming from why it wasn't does not count this town is spreading the cost by paying their water sewer right so i would be interested to know what what kind of question are talking about what's the total amount and obviously we're just starting the that is part of the problem i have with this if caution is appropriate if it doesn't fail wise and appropriate if it goes forward so the whole the whole principal is about finding a way out of this project to me and if i want to urge the water sewer commissioners not to give up on this project and don't try and fall back here with a bailout go for to make it happen i don't think we're working for al i think we're just saying oh by the way there's always a possibility that this will work should that happen we need to start this conversation now i would recommend we table this liability or if for some reason the project doesn't go forward we should sit with what we just set that is basically a five year note for this year old percent interest that would be paid back to the state is that the select board ends up paying for this the water to all say there's no danger to the flow naturally the risk is that that the project doesn't happen just like in our last conversation said there's no risk of that or there's little risk at this time but you know that's the consequences of talking about things like this so this is necessary to be able to play in the problem you could just put the cash up front that's true the water sewer commission could just put the cash up front right that's true so this isn't necessary it's just one way to do it jeff did you want us to sign this before we moved on or did you want to start talking about it is this your contractor i can't talk about the central contracts this is really just the review of the first year performance is the grievance process although last year was a transition year and even though we didn't have a lot of grievances to begin with the would be very difficult to judge deborah based on only reason is budgetary constraints so really when you when you do your evaluation try to bring it back up to a hundred right there's depending on the market different spaces between how fast you drop i don't know what their master plan is they're still very early in the stages they have not closed on the property they're exploring feasibility and seeing what kind of public private partnerships might exist and try to feel out what their options are so the good news is there is a seriously interested buyer but by the end there's there's no promises right now i can tell you that it's not going to be a large water user there it's going to be a pretty standard village development probably  mixed use development i think the the builder wants to see something remarkable go there and wants to do a good job but whether or not they're going to be able to pull it off is still up in the air replace we also want to replace the tree out here by the post office with a different tree relocated so that there's a little bit better site distance around the corner as you're pulling out and i believe we're going to be looking at somewhere around fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars for all of that work in this great is a fifty percent match i poor health what my question is would it be cheaper to just not replace them because i don't think we have enough money in town center to do the things that we need to do the windows in other not the state education but they could still be significant if they had a two million dollar value on their property municipal rate can still be quite a bit  to actually make the appointments that will be effective on may first i dislike work has a policy to only interview for it came to dates new candidates for planning commission and development view so if there are no objections on the other appointments we would just put them up for approval by way of resolution at the next meeting but all just go through these here for the benefit of the public for the planning commission we ha at the next meeting to interview to wait for that position on the development review board we have two three year terms and two alternate carol interview for people why should you be appointed to this commission should experience or what is the biggest conservation issue facing richmond or how do you balance the use of public money for private use or something like that well i would want to ask you know based on your experience your best friend yes  we have two three year terms up with no interest members one year terms of the membership is fluctuated i think it's essentially whatever the board wants to appoint you can see who's who is who is i don't know the answer to that and i see a new applicant there and i feel strongly that chaffey need to remain emergency management corridor because i'm not sure this other person is and what they might be very qualified i guess and if they are yes no yes it's a certain situations absolutely minutes ok so let's keep the job is so economic development has not had a lot of activity in the past month there are going to go one undergo a reorganization they're going to meet in another two weeks and i don't think they have a lot that's on their plate but at the moment i think they're going to start getting more involved in the town play and revitalization works in progress for poor no police report i did attend a two day workshop on behalf of our community resilience organisation called the lady environmental summit where we did together by peggy elmer who also has the crows model at the end of the month chris grande and i are going to be attending it today crows workshop on saturday and monday to continue our interest in the community resilience organisation we can be flaming hopefully for an event in the fall want to let you know that ours earning officer neil lightner has given his two months notice he's going to be travelling there are studying in europe  sorry to see him go but we're going to be recruiting for that position also new in personnel police officer richard green though has been promoted to corporal the rules regarding part time police officer have essentially changed the probably officially go into effect in july but part time police officers will now all have a different classification they'll be allowed to work full forty hours doing law enforcement duties so he not only is going to be considered full time under the affordable care act he'll be working as a full time officer primarily  with this one road and i just want to let you know that the summer is going to be a bad summer for traffic whatever is going to have a quite a bit of construction they're going to be closing down parts of interstate eighty dying for several hours a day for several weeks and during that time they will route traffic through route two and it will come through richmond so it's certain times it'll be north or south around traffic as they prepare to replace the bridges just south of exit  ok any questions for jeff ok i would like to entertain a motion to approve the minutes of march ninth two thousand fifty seven second if any additions correction they pass i would like to entertain a motion to accept the select board meeting minutes of march sixteenth two thousand and fifteen so i think any comments or actions additions or deletions to be made to the
