there yes thanks but that's something i think you can talk about as we get closer to you but just to recognize that you have it and it will go with filed with my package because i keep all the packets from all the meetings but anyway we didn't do it right but i think at that time we concluded these points were valid what was the point was i think eight thousand dollars a year for twel york and they said no you have to do it now and the other two couples that's what they wanted to do this year he said ok but you do have to do it now you have to reserve we've already reserved our rooms in february and we get and you just sign up they do take like five percent of the money that comes in but you can use your smartphone even if you could only q r and if you've already given through that service let's say you do use residue it's based on cathy's work we have the most turnover to have those things done yeah it was just hard work but we did a lot of education as the year progressed i could see people becoming more receptive to the information so we we weatherized twenty six percent or three percent it turned out to be fourteen homes i think that's  private so we don't really know who did whether i was their homes we just know the numbers but the most important thing about the fact that we came in first place in our region with along with underhill is that they will hold their hands and make sure that we get the application that we get projects that will actually have clear results for the town to save money and save energy co so i was pretty happy that the town meeting we agreed as a town to to get behind each other to save energy and so i feel like that just you know put it in the but it should be tested out to be sure that there are still air leaks so to figure out that process was completed yeah i can figure that would be a good thing and if it were created then that would be a starting for accomplishing goals when i started and you know we still have run tiriel in terms of leaves and so forth from previous years that we could continue to do warm up inside what they typically do is well what i'm warm up inside with the doors open so i'd be carriers to find out if you know an exhaust system or they could start the truck to put the replacing your existing electricity use if you're producing and then selling to the grid the price goes way down it doesn't pay but if you're replacing your own use it does so i thought who'll let me think of some other things to do the electricity and i heat was obvious right but because electricity when you heat with electricity really a motor which is very efficient it's resistance heating your heating element which is extremely inefficient and when i did the calculations the cost of solar to heat my house was the equivalent of six dollars a gallon of oil in other words the solar was way more expensive than oil right if you do it that way but now they're using that's possible that   from november to november and that's the time frame i picked because that's usually when you know preparing for the budget that would mean that you would actually have the figures in december to go too late then they're not going to happen for the budget and there's a paragraph in there says basically that if the board wanted to provide for something above that based on you know things that you're seeing here locally because you know the c p i and the net expert in this i'm sure to move more about than i do but the c p i is intended to be an indicator of you know the increases in really the cost of living or what it takes to maintain your standard of living and the other piece of this which hasn't been done here before but which is fairly common in municipalities in the area and probably in the state is basically a along the bonus depending on the years of service and  looked around and these are these numbers aren't really you know set in stone they're here for the sake of discussion but what you have is for someone who is here one to four years to get a fifty dollar bonus on their anniversary of hi for each year they've been here up to four years five to ten is seventy five and then eleven and beyond would be a hundred so the idea is to provide some base  increase which is pretty manageable you know what it's going to be it's pretty easy to figure out how long people have been here and then you would have whatever the the  increases that would be factored in that's how it would be decided so the research people would know going into the budget what the c p i is where they fall in long jeopardy and anything on top of that would be gravy but not that the longer you're here the bay if you get a job as a general rule i mean individual stocks that might not apply but as a general rule that's as good a proxy for productivity as i can think of because it's very hard to but then on your anniversary of your higher you would get that one john so there's a happen to a different time so i say i thought this was i thought you were going to break this down and add it to the monthly salary  increase for that period of time just to pay taxes on her and you can pay to actually if you get a lump sum payment you pay a different tax rate because it boosts your income better tax refund people like that  for for since you're the only member of the public listening this year actually commented on it we had a we had a we had no regular policy in greece and they were we made it up each year depending subjective too and then people don't know what they are you know this is a business their life this is them and then they don't know and they don't know whether something happened because they did something good or bad or just luck or and then they feel resentful they didn't get it or you know worried that maybe they didn't deserve it well you get rid of that have a have a this month and then to approve the contracts for those folks who would like to review if you recall the board made the decision two years ago to not extend any contracts past two thousand and sixteen so these contracts year into the contract they renewed last year and they sold bt sixty three which in and of itself isn't it's fine but the new owners didn't want the land to be in the contract so that one is being terminated with the five thousand dollar t and they paid the back taxes for that so they are bt sixty three is being terminate in that not renewed but there are some changes in the value of the land that they were keeping in the contract so basically terminating everything and then just renewable with the four are seventy seven bt sixty two parcels all the other ones there are no you know stuff like that they're all terminated without penalty  and that results in approximately eight thousand dollars of avoided school taxes that are made up through the local agreement rate so that's in addition to the ones that are currently in fact so formal exemption  much more than that so asking the sec were to do is to terminate the contracts that they're prove the termination of the contracts that expire in addition to the one that covered bt sixty two as the first step and then the second step is to approve new know things like you know we have to landowners who we're talking with who are concerned that because they manage their property for wildlife and don't write log in whatever that they're  that is through current use of magic but if you don't manage it then you know you have thirty acres of totally conserved property we need to assess it according to the law based on is the highest and best use which is residential but it can't ever be that i must mean that sounds to me like something like you know we might want to consider our own town decision for you know really exceptional cases like that well and that's exactly that's what is really that's the board the board left that open that you know in situations like this you know if there's no other alternative then maybe it would be appropriate to have a program but one that he or she pull it out and resell it on a later day game the system yeah yeah yeah because particularly since the plank mission in the country taking commission you know just went through the fifty it's a discussion you could probably start next year about this time because the context go through twenty sixteen which is fiscal year seventeen what about this particular person well they're fine for now you know they're trying to  practice has banned and to get the kurds in the select board that that's the process that we hopefully continue to use in the town's past practice has been to go to vendors and work with them to get quotes to try to get the best deal for the town some towns will put up sealed bids i don't think that's in the best interest of us here but it doesn't you know having a seal bit doesn't necessarily mean that you can't manipulate you there because trucks are so different each manufacturer has a little nuance that you could essentially build a spec to right you know the manufacturer that you want so it is i think this is st get back our own zone i think so yeah so kenworth definitely has a new truck that would be suitable for us so we plan to add them in ok to the list as well i'm just generally you know those make sure you know it's not a surprise to me to e p a standards and you know required to meet them to exactly they're required to it's not going to be blindsided or anything else it's very clear that you know you've got to at impression is somewhat walk longer than you'll ever have alone or is this huge i mean we had a truck break down we have this big storm and didn't we didn't have all day had we didn't have  budget we're doing ok actually you know we were we just did a piano than look at the saddest day but we were you know early in december you had a lot of towns who were over there  you know the end of the end of february we were still good wow so aging that is a make believe they've been very very they've been very well i think part of it is we have a lot of gravel roads so you know we're not sorting salt on everything like south burlington or you know right or wilson so that certainly helps and they've just been really lean with what they're using you know mixing the salt with the sand only putting it down the so we're going to one of those things really never yeah i've heard a lot of positive comments i mean people other than but we had a town meeting that one on one issue with roads but otherwise people feel that the road crews doing their job taking and then cleaning it up when it's a dive which is more reasonable because it's really seven houses on the road and i have i sort of feel like there are a lot of passes before and that was kind of part of the overtime i never noticed it then because i didn't know if that but yeah i mean it's like it's bad usually in the middle of the storm they don't hit our road first which is fine because it's not supposed to be a dad i just feel like that's a that's ok and i if people are and usually it's on brown streets across from the field you know it just blows my ground but governor perry was even worse but you know typically new york we have very few i don't know because this for the group the gallery wasn't no this was it's past she just wanted to have it in front of you so you know that she approved it doesn't require your approval but because of did i was the one person and i just was really worth it for you know i have a few things considering you know she wasn't here i wasn't here and i tell you that was a tough one to try to  twenty five even though it's your line it says she to provide additional and then ends it should be additional information ok it's so much more specific than any other towns matter i mean i think it's ok it doesn't really matter you ask the question the barriers the question but even so anyway i make a motion to on the off shoot if anything was missed there was no question favoritism and when bob was chair no matter what the sign he knew what time of year he had the road crew out the signs that were in the veterans kind of hard to capture but yeah one of my neighbors is putting things that at the corner of where my lot is and it's on the fifteenth go to the state border it's really really highly visible and i know that's why they put it there but i'm sure people regulations regarding signs for different things not elections that are only out for certain periods of time and within certain places but i don't know where that what we would do is make a request next year to the r p c assuming we don't next year meaning here for the next work plan they've already done this one done this one so the most appropriate thing i think the best way to do it would be to put it make a request next year through the r p c so we only paid twenty percent of the cost that would make sense because that because there was a minor committee that ran into trouble early on  from the air pete because that they were looking into taking over thirteen and bill frank was on the time and i think that they ran into some issues and just sort of peter pan out but i did project funded by them even if it were i was going to get in touch with them to see their study because other than location a lot of the same issues are going to be the same in terms of cost the same time mrs same traffic amount that's a pretty because you know just like you say too much people fly through here why can't you do twenty five that's what she was looking at so i don't know when they did the full accounts are they yeah i can't believe you can't cross the street down by joe's i think that's dangerous i think that's why we probably because you know i mean if they think if we didn't follow through and just did a basic committee i don't think you know that they've done it the same problem bill franklin that it just it's mind boggling all the  could say that this has been looked at by committee i mean it was part of the grand and there was this there was a community committee even though it was a small one but they found that they just weren't always present you what they have found out ok because it's going to be a lot of the same pros and cons or costs are going to be the same and you can well that's why i think they were all looking at a row of we're looking at a six mile stretch here they are i think looking at a much smaller maybe i'm wrong because don't we have to do it from time line to town line you know we could do this and you know that trunks because i thought there was a question nationally whether that the frustrating when i see our town trucks with their plows up going from one road to another you know like if we're fifteen is really bad i've seen the town trucks you know going from one of our roads for another with their with their plow up and people flying all over the place would i would like to ask your permission to add the negotiating committee with with the fire department just myself and darren jennifer since don and i are on this committee this board and this the c d c is the likely recipient of the of the dea and so forth that the members process but they should save enough so for those that want to consider this so they can begin to see what is they were asking this morning what the deal was but we promised not to talk about it so i so i expect to hear some kind of response from to finally finally we've completed worksheets so i did all my work back in september to take them to this point for them to do their work but to hard to say but when we asked for i had what i had put in was about fifteen thousand dollars higher and the main difference is in reimbursement for me quitman basically trucks in our equipment because i couldn't there was nothing i couldn't prove we had no way to prove that when roger was out on alpine drive that the tandem was there with him working at the same time it's kind intuitive but they you're doing first so now now that's all done then you have to wait for the whole process play out get the money right but actually it's going to be it should be easier next time because we within the i need an executive session might actually i don't think so i've got one personal thing but it's not it's nothing sensitive whatsoever it's paula had been coming in pretty routinely at seven thirty in the morning and i said you know if you're coming in at seven thirty you know you want it to be your start times of three thirty five you're seven thirty three or four under seven thirty at three thirty play ok i mean it is your call if you make it formal and you say yes we want the town hall to open at seven thirty but this is just reminding me of an incident that we had when we had someone else who was coming in early earlier than anybody else and that i don't paid overtime for that son just like you can't just adjust your hours and come in whatever you want so you can make more money this is you know there would be no overtime salary she's hour and currently have then clearly the hours are thirty and up to thirty seven and a half so she would be up to forty but she's been leaving at three
