do is just  project completed i believe in late october two thousand and nine as you can see from faith brown's letter which you just wish we had been promised the bank in or your it would be repaired we understand that the pleasant valley grove project and its extreme god demands created by last year's unprecedented storms delayed work on this project we summer of last year yes all by the time that work was completed in and i'm calling it on it was almost november and then perhaps it was evenly dollars into december yes we believe that it was too late in the growing season to properly complete the project on our property we are here trying to request a written description of what work is planned to be completed for this project and  for an order to the public works department to complete the work known later than the end of may twelfth now well i will put a statement on the end of that i think you've seen we've been patient i think i think you can see that we understood why work wasn't being done full of getting of something to work occur which did not make this small project feasible and by the end of may marry her i'm not going to say yeah that well what i would like something you know because basically for years and i i regret that steve don't miss it here because steve has made t for was not going to cook the truth i bet he was just going to put the ditch what would that and i spoke with rod and i said i don't understand how you're going to be able to agree properly with this tree or minimum i should say a minimum grade of true feet of setback for every one vertical yellow bit two on one slow you are right and we don't we don't have a lot of situations where we have a lot of you not that i understood ok but what i wanted i know what the they were ready but it was my understanding that they were ready to remove that stop and slow back but that was not what you wanted to do so that's why i didn't get done the  i think about six or eight feet ok and that's the right way ok and mr fuller at any time you have the right to say to us i am going to do this project using the right of way which i have a right to do right the carolyn i have a slight just a difference of opinion she wanted to do a clearer picture of how this was going to come out yeah she you know and why healing was work is going to have to be done yeah further in that w anybody in this town i live up this is jacksonville property and out with the pleasant valley road construction every year is steep we couldn't get through to the one because they've been my limit you know what i mean so i end up with some very steep banks there are sandy and they're not taking well  but at the same time i don't know if they're usually pretty accommodating to what you know even though he could take it and say this is mine i'm going to make a few kids usually are trying to her on smaller because usually people don't want the large dish so i think letter the reason she wrote this letter was that i requested the select board back then to come look at it because your work had not been to the right time so did faith brown and it was described was what work would take place that it would be great if a top soil would be applied and then matting or if it is just the work on the other side of the road which is great you know they'd put the colbert over there across the street to the field across from us where there is a stream yeah right that's always the way the water flowed great you know the majority of it i mean this is our sign on the front lawn the house for sale i want that properties that look good yeah i guess right now i'm being told yeah i  out this week so i tried to call and find out details about how that works as far as pay because they say they'll work with you for finding funding for the projects my question is there you mentioned one project and people how he and based on you know how many points you get during the year you get a rebate you get a certain amount of money and the points are based on you know if you have no smoking campaign is if you people taking part in this program doing the walking in style then if they take health screening online and all that kind of stuff and we've got enough points to get one thousand one hundred sixty seven dollars refund it to us the general liability there are also this year after effect of the first twenty twelve there's a new policy with hartford and i think it was just that remember sitting here also if they get injured the only thing is they have to be under the supervision of a passive member which will be nice but you don't have to be present it's just that you have to say yes i want you to do that and then their cars are covered under way to you have you have to you know you have to pay the taxes that are due plus the penalty and the interest plus the baby is now i'm not really sure what the extra the attorney would be and from what i can  here yeah yeah well you know as the end of the end oh oh well look at the end of the fiscal year i mean you know like you've been doing it longer but like i did my understanding is at the end of the fiscal year which is the tax year i doubt it but about a week before that we send them a another message that says ok you know to do that in another week this is it we're turning over to the attorney guild now we turn it over to him and then he does have a little thing of posting in the paper and giving him x number of days and and i think but can it appears it's going to be like you know three or four month process is really drawn out process so there might be other things coming up probably these exact same propert and i've never seen a taxi or whatever and they said they do i talk to the chair of the select board and she said they do occasionally have a tech sale that they try not to because they think that times are tough and they try to just work arrangements and that which reminds me and that's another subject so won't go too long on it but you know as i'm working on a capital inventory i got to thinking gee i wonder if there's any of those properties on there that we don't know anymore that we might actually want to sell you know i don't know i mean they might have been sitting there insurances was forty hours up until the new manual and at that time so in november of two thousand and eleven it went down to seventeen and a half that was that was everything for job and i put would be off etihad for the high and low for that job so i'm just talking about we haven't adopted that as a policy steps yet but it's just just a reference of what the other towns are doing  our temporary people which will be judged in man are over so they're kind years and his salary so what's left of larry salary now is like twelve thousand dollars and so that types of expenses and so professional and technical which is like maybe the third box down you know the little note that the events put on that legal bill that's in the warrants there said be a little bit of other things in there too you know sherri and i had to share to talk to him but we had to get a release designed because of the supreme court decision that more makes it so that you can't tell anybody how much is yeah yeah so that's not happening so there are some some money there what file you know it was on the prayers budget and so when we developed this budget nobody was sure what it was either so they just said on them but that's really just about everything that the select board does you haven't budgeted for i know a large part of it was when we did recruitment for the ministry i think that was like seven or eight grand there budget anything because this was our new chart of accounts and we were just really finally figuring out where things should go and that was probably budgeted in supplies in prior years so it just  looks and the same thing with maybe about four or five lines down the technical expensive two thousand dollars which was completely over to that was to calibrate various machines it's kind of things you just actually have to do  so still has twenty two hundred dollars in elections in iowa and i think everything from this last one came through i think so pretty much and you have anything before it was not until the presidential election right one tax collection time and then she spends a couple of days doing all those batches which is fantastic help all of us so that it looks like she'll probably be under a lot over to the clerk when we budgeted we put the insurance office in with the salary so that's way you know it's on one line in the budget but in the actual it's time to so councillor land record restoration all the expenses go in there for a land record restoration that at the end of the year i make an entry t finance that's me probably a little bit under budget on salary because i was gone for two months during the fiscal year and the same with the health benefits probably a little bit under there for those two months  so i think you know their time and their salaries are scary increasing i think that variance of their growth a little bit i don't know how much but if it still looks like they might have forecast more hours than they're going to be doing and that's probably due t retry fourteen and so there you know they're way under budget right now that will see how their hours start piling up and  room we have a i mean some of it could be some of the backup disks that she bought a step but we have an agreement with a tech group we prepare for the hours like fifteen seventy five a time and we just had more hours with them we had to the back up wasn't working the system was full of viruses and he spent a few days here he came a couple of times and he cleaned it all up for me and we ended up buying a new backup system but when i like this you know really i mean usually have someone come in and periodic leave the ordinary actually check your stuff out because none of you know french or qualified enough is this guy or something think about it you don't you don't want the big problem to happen other expenses electricity if you are pretty low i don't know why the post office making it we didn't have in the budget before this year it's been a warm winter is over of animal control officer really it's difficult to even look at the individual lines because previously it was just kind of like once we tried to guess how much was really labor and how and the reason there is worker's comp and unemployment as my pay the bill we pay based on estimated budgeted hours so it looks funny if it i don't i'm not sure if she will try any time shifted recently asked me about have a dream that i told her the same  thirty one dollars for the airline is in there so of the two thousand that you gave her to span combined in the trading and the travel she has like three hundred four dollars left but she told me she doesn't think she's going to have any more expenses so you might come in so i think you know i think that's probably going to be very close and right on budget just  files into their experience to library one of those three payments and the general corporations down below it's really the same thing then the local agreement ninety three thousand the other the next section appropriations down there the then loreal day we just you know pay that yes man does and the local agreement they were in on the side of one or one two eighty that's our actual amount we have budgeted so that word has total expenditures there that's the total of everything except the highway so that all of us you know the general government we have three hundred eighty thousand dollars to spend  year again their revenue the revenue it although we've reduced the revenue by sixty thousand for property taxes we reduced the tax rate beginning they really are they got t for the other benefits let's see the other benefits really are going to be some are a little up some are a little down is you know social security and retirement going to be based on whether that salary comes in  substantially over otherwise i think you know we probably put a line outside labor that we should have put in construction contractors there but the big increase there is just this stuff that was going on with that much supplies because he just thought he was going to use a lot more but so that's i'm sure he's not going to spend that much on that it's really just small tools and players and things like that  reason yeah the reason well every every little digit in there like if you look at you can see those all say six fifty yeah you know you know that's a road material i am so major reappraisal just killed florida everybody so it was really put in place i think for the farmers you know but now it is kind of morphed out to lots of people  and this is the application basically that every put in to get this is to remove  select board about this program they had picked underhill and wanted to appear pinterest and if we signed a contract to compete in this competition at this point now we're just getting the information we haven't had much so the first phone call of the kick off is going to be the end of this month on april twenty fourth at nine am it's a conference call and i can send you via e mail with the phone number and the code and you can do it from anywhere let's call this so i'll send you the email with the information so that's been set up for the twenty fourth of this month this is the kicker one and then there's a follow up phone called june fifth on this they do not got a response yeah asking if they'd be willing to help us with this it's a little tricky being that we signed an agreement to do this competition but yet it's going to be requiring us for them to give us  this and they'll have to be doing some office paperwork to feed us to make sure the people in town two don't use that service yeah exactly and there and that was mentioned and what they did was they came up with a formula to to tweak it e mail was asking for a bunch of information i put in all the information i could but there was this piece on the history of usage very clean green for all of last year and i haven't got heard back from them so i'm going to try to collect any nation from what i did e mail you guys what the project implementation guide to review i'm so you can see a little it gives more information whether it's your fault i haven't had a chance to read through it gets and so i just got it but i did attach it to that you have seen so that's just an update on where ever happ collection study farm and they sent us information comparing costs of recycling recovery and impact on current collection systems with multiple callers and they had three options to a presentation on this and i got an email from mike wise i was saying that he was in with the meeting on this and he would really he said it's so i provided you with all the information on what the presentation is what they're sold so our studies that face forward to us but i mean mike's been on that board news it's important that we get the presentation of so that when you don't have to publish it every single time if you say hey if you have set days that you me and you adopt you can just put up a sign here at the town hall instead of having to post it at the post office  writing right you just have to put it up here at once and put it on the website once and those are your standard meetings the only things you have to notice are special meeting the reason why it is a good idea for us to do this is because i also found out that posting a meeting means that you not only have to have it here and then to public places but you also have to have any newspaper and for us to do that will be costly expect something as big as a full page monthly meeting with us so if i can get us to adopt rules of procedure that incorporate set days for the year and i think get the committees to renew their rules or procedures and adopt them with the dates that it says you know we need the first and third wednesday or whatever i can do up the one she posted out here frosted on the website we're done we don't have to do a small sounds good to me announcements which would be much easier so what i've done is i created since we did adopt rules of procedure at the last meeting our rules or procedures do state that these rules may be amended by a vote of two thirds of the select board and so that's what i'm proposing that you do with thursday that will be posted here in the town hall and on the west and on the website i was also at that with you seemed like that was the proper procedure and would also save our town money  something over the past few years who was there what was discussed yeah actions taken for sure that's a given but i think when you minutes are definitely better now because back then was was there was you know so it was in front of us or i mean there was not enough description seemed really couldn't tell what was happening especially when meeting and then you know where do you draw the line the only problem i ever could summarize the topic you know something that you would want to remember like you know obviously we didn't take any action on the mirror all tonight right but we want to make sure that in there that we will follow up follow up things you know follow up with this so it's like almost a reminder of what to do for next time right so when you talk to them all over the course of our really important thing that we came to i guess right we've learned or something that we understood i mean i do think a recording this thing is the discussion that ensued so we are putting out there for everybody to see i think reading it i almost think what you're saying is it's frustrating to read call out yeah because people become confused with well that was discussed but what was the actual action there was no action so does that discussion have any validity you know that brings up
