i would just observe you know i have not been included students let board until the last two years or so but i believe we have there's been a rotating cheer the board somewhat routinely jeff do you know that recent history of that any further discussion naming of ford secretary that would be you jeff correct that's correct so i would nominate geoffrey bennett for board secretary for eternity one year anybody the burlington free press in the richmond times and exclamation point being our official newspaper please signify by saying i find seems to be an enormous appointment of water commissioners would you like to continue yes ok any interest any interest now ok i would like to continue so should we break this down the i will break this down so all of i need a nomination for lincoln brea the conservation commission did you want to continue with the state legislature ok so planning commission was chris grand he is not on the board anymore he did not seek reelection so we have an open slot for a liaison to the planning commission to be the trails committee liaison if you want to continue with the development council so taylor you're suggesting i should be the liaison to finance i'm ok with that  a western slopes business association oh ok that's a development review board that always conflicts with my work schedule i have a hard time making those meetings taylor just raises me and i hope i can do it ok but i do want to continue with the recreation committee i can do it unless somebody else wants to it might go well with the energy committee was chris i can take lincoln once that time so all those in favor of the slate of liaison's as just defined do we is that we lose a lot of the beach getting washed into the lake the sand itself so it ends up getting replenished so what i just passed around here is a grand plan and a grant that we received that we could get that spread out and the thought that we have is that since there's four towns once every four years the town would take care of taking care of the m nonresidents three thousand one hundred ninety years the budget out there is about thirty thousand dollars a year and has been looking back today through the records for as long as you can go back and it's been pretty steady and once again the district pays for all the materials for all the stuff that happens here our staff from the middle may be getting ready to hold just after especially for st george they don't have a clue that they can you know maybe put something into their budget going to put some little side every year to be able to make up because they're going to have to go to an outside contractor to do that and that's the other way that this could get  is the only way that you can get to the woolston side you can almost get to richmond but you're absolutely right it's a condition of the sale of the property that the road is never allowed to connect so that you can  and let's see but one of the things he did do for me which i don't consider to be a favor and i consider neil friend as he had to put right in my job description that i have to staff the lake here where recreation district whether in richmond that's my subjective experience my kids went when they were very young and then quickly we stopped going there and started going to their places closer to them which is personal experience  what we are all in the financial statements that follow and it is what's nice is it's a natural it has some financials it has explanations and you know in about five or six pages you can really understand what happened during the year  the you know in terms of a reader a casual reader that wants to understand what's going on you can get most of the information you need probably the most that page is the traditional financial statements follows the star 's a good starting point and i look at where you are in denver was you're right about where that number is and so there are a cash flow perspective that gives you some cash to get through you know those for a few months of the air until the tax dollars com will increase and you want and so you know between cash flow and some some ability to mitigate increases you need a reasonable plan mountains and you know where you are now probably makes sense based on some of those doctors so and you have what you did again to use up some of that on balance in the fifteen budget so there you did it in fourteen done in fifteen and you know we're in the depends on where you know what continues the rest of this year there was some question on some of the work or the need to fall on them but you know generally towns are pretty good about paying their bills and you know what they're happy with and all these floods and disasters happen this is not most towns have to go up a jeff you want to speak to the d m v being loan fund for the water storage tank sure this is the paperwork that we have on the loan for the water storage tank that quote was approved for the indebtedness was approved in town meeting in two thousand and fourteen up to one point five million this loan is for one million one hundred seventy two thousand one hundred seventy nine dollars and sixty cents it covers the water corrected yeah if we have time i'd prefer to do corrected because we're signing it and then it's the sign of a little cross they're not going to billets to fix their mistakes or that i would take issue with that could follow through with their initial inspection of the creamery parcel they have some foresman teeth that we don't know but i'm kind of curious to see what the rest of the board thinks about essex's ordinance as written and possible adoption of a similar ordinance for richmond this is a to me this is a policy in search of a problem we have a problem here we have one problem but we're creating a bigger problem by saying let's build the ordinance out which we don't have the resources to enforce we're using e 's policy as a guideline which is the second largest community in vermont so we have nowhere near the resources and we have one building that you know people are working o  in our discussion about the gateway and zoning we heard a lot of discussion of the richmond brand and town character i'm struck that derelict dangerous buildings with roofs falling in are not really the character that we've been  and so there's just a question if you wanted this came up i think because we want a nother serious layer of intervention for buildings that are both a risk to public safety and they are linked in a for a vacant building talks about inspectors going around to begin building vacant buildings and dogs that process to find or force people to do things which we don't have the resources to there's no great hurry to do it my inclination would be to hold this coliseum put it in their back park it for potential use the near future not taking any action tonight but i'm not sold i'm not sure how that structure would work  i would like exploited further with other options like fines and maybe other ways discussions about how you might define economic development so i'm sorry for certain other things we want to consider i know sometimes  discussing yeah i kind of agree with the early though i think there's this is a little stringent in terms of it's going to leave the us the town open to a lot i think we should make it more lenient in terms of what necessitates going out to the property to look at it things to be in place so i agree that maybe this is not exactly conservative something to work on all those in favor i oppose and we need signatures under you sign your name in the past and i think it's on c headed by rebecca stone their contract cost is ten thousand five hundred sixty dollars leaving us with worth a thousand four hundred dollars for additional outreach work my only question is to put together a repair for the bridge over the huntington river on huntington road between the towers and the ultra farms that's going to be room to two thousand dollars worth of wor applications for appointment one person has resigned so there's a vacancy economic development everybody is up for reappointment and then we have  a bond vote discussion so there are two things to report two things two things first the recount late friday a request for a recount was submitted we are going to hold a recount the recount going to be thursday vote should also require ten percent the statute just generically says you need five percent on a petition to do a reconsideration so or mark on counsel is willing to go to bat for that but we would be a test case perhaps it's only turned in a petition we said no you need ten percent instead of five percent so if you will not have another meeting before the deadline passes so we're looking for feedback from the board as to which way to proceed should it come up and ask a question first what is the procedure for these we leave it to be ten percent we should tell anyone the interest is ten percent at the point i thought we really didn't hear and read the law themselves but we have to be prepared to pay to litigate the challenge of it being right and so the statute says five and ten and in reconsideration of a bond and then counsel confirms this board does not need to take a position on anything it frustrates me i just don't understand why would this i think that people want to go figure this out they can come in ask that's fine but they can read that they can read a lot they can go to the secretary of state website it's very easy but for us to go out and take a position that doesn't make any sense we can't take the go take positions on laws that are written by the state just because we think we're being transparent what if we come out opinion that ten percent is ten percent there's anybody see any corrections additions mistakes in the literates of march second changes found to be implemented ok all those in favor of approving the minutes of march second two thousand and fifteen please signify by saying i'm opposed t so i would entertain a motion for purchase order number three one five five in the merits of thirty three thousand one hundred sixty five dollars for a new police cruiser so move that so i could really get all those in favor o civility that they've seen throughout the past year and that is something that i am very proud of and i think unfortunately very proud of and something that i wish to continue through the next year so the message to the town thank you for that  authority my pill you're very city very town in berlin berlin and very town have dropped out right now but you know as you can see they're close in proximity they're similar sit sizes with similar similar budgets for the police and fire rescue and dispatch services so number one efficiency in delivery of the services and to bringing more resources to different areas that may have kind of had to st based on their current government systems that kind of what's going on more complex then cousy i would say yeah more complex more complex governance structure more complex funding structure
