Participation. In 10 00:01:01,51 --> 00:01:03,86 last night's town meeting we passed 11 00:01:03,87 --> 00:01:09,09 a bylaw referencing the veterans advisory board section for under review. 12 00:01:11,73 --> 00:01:13,19 The committee show and only file 13 00:01:13,20 --> 00:01:17,10 a report on its work to include such recommendations as it deems worthy of 14 00:01:17,11 --> 00:01:23,40 consideration with the board of selectmen in December of each year. I went looked 15 00:01:23,41 --> 00:01:26,74 under my town government. The last time 16 00:01:26,75 --> 00:01:30,82 a meeting was even posted was people seventeenth two thousand and eighteen that 17 00:01:30,83 --> 00:01:37,27 meeting was cancelled under the town. Meeting website under boards and 18 00:01:37,28 --> 00:01:43,71 committees there was one member listed. It's my guard I looked at the 19 00:01:44,37 --> 00:01:51,10 calendar. For postings from last May to 20 00:01:51,14 --> 00:01:55,88 present no meetings have posted I checked on the bulletin board on my way in 21 00:01:56,13 --> 00:02:01,31 outside front door there's nothing posted there. So I don't know how there by law 22 00:02:01,32 --> 00:02:07,09 it can be met if the committee is apparently not meeting it's not posting any 23 00:02:07,10 --> 00:02:13,18 meetings so I made of it looking at their bylaw and sensed a quarter of a case in 24 00:02:13,19 --> 00:02:18,32 a lot of biological or on the. On the draft warrant for this upcoming town meeting 25 00:02:18,36 --> 00:02:18,60 I made 26 00:02:18,61 --> 00:02:25,42 a public required records request.

Is that any of the 223 00:17:51,83 --> 00:17:58,75 board's policy is that. Individual policies should either emanate 224 00:17:58,79 --> 00:17:59,23 in 225 00:17:59,83 --> 00:18:06,13 a workshop or be referred to and discussed in workshop. In this 226 00:18:06,17 --> 00:18:12,89 instance we are requesting your action the C Evening. And six 227 00:18:13,14 --> 00:18:18,83 paragraph six that addition is something that we discussed as we talked about 228 00:18:18,84 --> 00:18:25,82 trying to. Enhance the debate involve people more and provide them with up to date 229 00:18:25,83 --> 00:18:31,83 information this amendment. Would recognize that 230 00:18:31,84 --> 00:18:38,68 a well informed candidate can hance the debate on important public issues also 231 00:18:38,72 --> 00:18:39,55 that if 232 00:18:39,59 --> 00:18:46,74 a candidate who's elected to the office has been getting acclimated and informed 233 00:18:46,75 --> 00:18:52,25 as to the issues before them when they take office they can more readily take votes 234 00:18:53,08 --> 00:19:00,02 having been better prepared along the way so my proposal is that after 235 00:19:00,03 --> 00:19:03,42 the town clerk. Certifies 236 00:19:03,46 --> 00:19:09,73 a candidate for election in this case we would trickle this down would ask all the 237 00:19:09,74 --> 00:19:15,25 boards to do this but in our instance we would be most pacifically concerned would 238 00:19:15,26 --> 00:19:21,57 selectman it we would just send them an email welcoming them. And making sure that 239 00:19:21,58 --> 00:19:28,53 they get the same link to all of the weekly report the agendas the meeting 240 00:19:28,54 --> 00:19:35,19 material now. Except the privilege materials anything that's protected by attorney 241 00:19:35,20 --> 00:19:40,20 client privilege more executive session those obviously we couldn't send along. 242 00:19:41,53 --> 00:19:48,39 That would start is soon as the town clerk tells me and tells Holly that 243 00:19:48,40 --> 00:19:53,49 so and so has been certified and here's their e-mail address and Carol's agreed to 244 00:19:53,50 --> 00:19:59,67 get email addresses from each of these candidates so we can do that in the second 245 00:19:59,68 --> 00:20:01,76 part of the amendment really is is 246 00:20:01,77 --> 00:20:08,60 a clean up I think. We had two items in the original 247 00:20:08,61 --> 00:20:15,60 policy it lays out how we will order the warrant for the annual town meeting. And 248 00:20:15,61 --> 00:20:22,36 in using it for the first time we found that. The enterprise funds were in there 249 00:20:22,37 --> 00:20:28,81 twice as Item eight and twice eleven and then at seven we used to semi-colon but we 250 00:20:28,82 --> 00:20:31,17 continue to go on to number three and so it's really just 251 00:20:31,18 --> 00:20:37,67 a. You know I would consider this housekeeping by eliminating that second 252 00:20:38,63 --> 00:20:45,05 listing of the enterprise funds and putting all the appropriations in the order in 253 00:20:45,06 --> 00:20:50,55 a slightly different form happy to answer any questions but I do think this is at 254 00:20:50,56 --> 00:20:52,38 least the first one something we've talked about 255 00:20:52,39 --> 00:20:58,90 a second was kind of housekeeping. And we would like to put this in place sooner 256 00:20:58,91 --> 00:21:04,25 rather than later so that has candidates file we can start with your understanding 257 00:21:04,26 --> 00:21:09,11 start to send them these informational packets. 258 00:21:17,34 --> 00:21:23,08 And we talked about this the first part of this already we did it in and forget I 259 00:21:23,09 --> 00:21:28,15 think the February workshop if I remember I would like to make 260 00:21:28,16 --> 00:21:35,10 a motion to adopt operating procedures policy number two zero one nine dash zero 261 00:21:35,11 --> 00:21:39,95 two Amendment Number one dated March fifth twenty one thousand motion of 262 00:21:39,96 --> 00:21:43,10 a second second and motion second the other discussion. 263 00:21:47,22 --> 00:21:53,70 As you know George yes. Yes yes yes as well thank you Mr 264 00:21:54,38 --> 00:22:00,36 research. We want to propose Mehmet for to the financial management policy. 265 00:22:02,18 --> 00:22:08,06 So these are some proposed changes to the current financial management policy that 266 00:22:08,07 --> 00:22:14,38 have not been discussed. In the workshop and therefore they are touched upon in the 267 00:22:14,39 --> 00:22:20,83 budget. I'd like to address them very briefly here and then ask that you refer them 268 00:22:20,84 --> 00:22:27,56 or keep them in your in your budget workshop. Part of this has to do with trying to 269 00:22:27,57 --> 00:22:34,56 align. Enterprise funds that five that monies that we put 270 00:22:34,60 --> 00:22:40,71 in the general fund towards the OPAP and towards the capital reserves we don't have 271 00:22:40,72 --> 00:22:47,09 a corresponding. Statement in the enterprise fund's side of the House 272 00:22:48,12 --> 00:22:52,93 and on free cash we have two different statements on the Enterprise Fund size of 273 00:22:52,94 --> 00:22:54,13 the house we talk 274 00:22:54,14 --> 00:22:59,46 a rope about rolling twenty percent over on the general fund side of the house but 275 00:22:59,47 --> 00:23:04,66 rolling some over and so the question becomes to what extent do you want to have 276 00:23:04,72 --> 00:23:10,54 some alignment. And the alignment that we can develop makes it easier for people to 277 00:23:10,88 --> 00:23:15,42 just remember follow the patterns and I think you've seen over the last couple 278 00:23:15,43 --> 00:23:17,83 years the more you have a policy and 279 00:23:17,84 --> 00:23:22,29 a pattern and follow the pattern the better off your financial management in your 280 00:23:22,30 --> 00:23:28,56 financial future can be the other reason that I would like to have this held 281 00:23:29,18 --> 00:23:34,20 in the budget for discussion on page three changed to be five. 282 00:23:36,97 --> 00:23:43,96 Right now there is no formulaic approach to establishing how much 283 00:23:43,97 --> 00:23:50,49 to set aside in the emergency reserve. And the thought is and we talked 284 00:23:50,50 --> 00:23:57,31 a little bit about this on Saturday. You know rather than POA 285 00:23:57,32 --> 00:24:03,82 number. Each year and then kind of arm wrestling over that to the extent we perhaps 286 00:24:03,83 --> 00:24:03,99 have 287 00:24:04,00 --> 00:24:10,76 a formula that perhaps become the subject of common agreement between the psych board 288 00:24:10,77 --> 00:24:16,62 in the advisory committee. That I know to put into the budget and they know that 289 00:24:16,63 --> 00:24:20,89 that's the process and everybody kind of those were going forward I think I would 290 00:24:20,90 --> 00:24:21,20 save 291 00:24:21,21 --> 00:24:27,60 a lot of time and energy and perhaps put its issue to bed and I would like very much 292 00:24:28,14 --> 00:24:33,31 to have the advisory committee be part of that discussion so for this one I would 293 00:24:34,06 --> 00:24:37,98 sense it is the first time it's formally in front of you I would respectfully 294 00:24:37,99 --> 00:24:44,93 request that it be referred to workshop. It's in is 295 00:24:44,94 --> 00:24:46,84 if the advisory committee has retained 296 00:24:46,85 --> 00:24:52,33 a copy of this is what I believe we distributed one over the weekend to everyone 297 00:24:53,17 --> 00:24:58,22 getting an extra copy because it's in your. Books here tonight but. 298 00:25:00,93 --> 00:25:07,72 I think one member of the. Committee was not there and 299 00:25:07,73 --> 00:25:08,88 perhaps Jeff's but had 300 00:25:08,89 --> 00:25:14,37 a chance to get along to him or just needs another paper copy or we need skin or 301 00:25:14,51 --> 00:25:21,31 whatever works best you can sell me OK now you can put their money or you know 302 00:25:21,76 --> 00:25:26,77 yeah I mean whatever whatever you need to get one e-mail copy or let me know what 303 00:25:27,36 --> 00:25:32,39 copies of all OK and able to put on your gender. 304 00:25:34,33 --> 00:25:35,87 Well truthfully I'm hoping that we can have 305 00:25:35,88 --> 00:25:40,87 a common discussion on this in the workshop and then because you are in in meetings 306 00:25:40,88 --> 00:25:45,93 we can either adopted jointly at the same time or it once it's agreed it can be 307 00:25:45,94 --> 00:25:51,86 referred out each body and they can simply vote on it OK either way so whatever 308 00:25:51,87 --> 00:25:56,89 workshop we put it to should invite people to be dug out I mean I'm hopeful that 309 00:25:56,90 --> 00:26:00,33 we'll have some time I may be optimistic here but I'm hopeful that we'll have time 310 00:26:00,34 --> 00:26:05,37 on the twentieth to discuss some of these things and I do think we're going to need 311 00:26:05,38 --> 00:26:12,08 one. More workshop. What I think women and need to use the 312 00:26:12,38 --> 00:26:17,49 April third for final actions but we'll see where we are next next Wednesday night 313 00:26:17,96 --> 00:26:24,92 so yes you know with our agenda next Wednesday I think. We get 314 00:26:25,62 --> 00:26:31,86 a consensus it's the principle of we don't have enough and what's outlined 315 00:26:33,28 --> 00:26:38,26 by OK we've already got to do it in the right kind of makes sense so can I see it 316 00:26:38,27 --> 00:26:41,79 like that book or a moment case I misspoke with Jeremy Pearce I think 317 00:26:41,80 --> 00:26:47,82 a suggestion. Geoff snatching next Thursday night I would then it pushes it 318 00:26:48,63 --> 00:26:54,54 into April's my workshop because where I think we've discussed the same thing 319 00:26:54,58 --> 00:27:01,57 a couple of times already I think that somehow I don't know can you. Reading before 320 00:27:01,58 --> 00:27:04,32 Thursday so that we can all discuss it as 321 00:27:04,33 --> 00:27:08,86 a group on Wednesday at the workshop and then just vote it in clear it up bar is 322 00:27:08,87 --> 00:27:15,56 that not possible I mean I don't know try to. Explain what that right and what 323 00:27:15,57 --> 00:27:22,37 state and for and in these were Oh my God I was there I just mean that I don't know 324 00:27:22,41 --> 00:27:29,21 if I think I'm an. I mean I'm just wondering to clear it up quicker 325 00:27:29,26 --> 00:27:34,18 like but it would strike him but it wouldn't push it out further into April I think 326 00:27:34,19 --> 00:27:38,44 that we've discussed these couple of things a few times already as 327 00:27:38,45 --> 00:27:43,71 a board and so I'm not trying to put pressure I'm just stating that we have 328 00:27:43,72 --> 00:27:46,23 a workshop next Wednesday he has 329 00:27:46,24 --> 00:27:52,93 a meeting next Thursday which now pushes us into April by action is it so I'm not 330 00:27:52,94 --> 00:27:59,81 sure are well advised.

OK OK OK great. Thank you so much 361 00:30:21,43 --> 00:30:27,69 thanks Kyra Yes QUESTION Yes Would it be easier to the formula that we're proposing 362 00:30:27,70 --> 00:30:34,51 here one of the even if you apply that to. The actual results of 363 00:30:34,74 --> 00:30:39,41 what he seen in one thousand and projected into twenty what those numbers would 364 00:30:39,42 --> 00:30:45,74 have been had we used this formula then. So what the 365 00:30:45,75 --> 00:30:52,73 formula would be would have resulted in if you use the F Y nineteen is already 366 00:30:52,74 --> 00:30:58,83 in your budget book but I can get you an application what it would be if we had 367 00:30:58,84 --> 00:31:05,82 applied it to F Y nine eighteen actual results so just 368 00:31:05,83 --> 00:31:11,08 be curious to see is the true and close to what we're what we have been doing or is 369 00:31:11,09 --> 00:31:11,33 there 370 00:31:11,34 --> 00:31:18,52 a bigger gap than well get the number of what it would have been if we compared 371 00:31:18,53 --> 00:31:23,02 it to F Y eighteen year end results for you look perfect 372 00:31:25,35 --> 00:31:30,36 and questions.

A response to the right of first refusal 376 00:31:51,36 --> 00:31:56,07 a too early on in the process so I can tell you is that this is been done at 377 00:31:56,08 --> 00:32:02,86 different points in the process depending upon how on top of things the sellers in 378 00:32:02,87 --> 00:32:09,77 the seller's agents have been OK OK. You know I'll tell you is 379 00:32:09,78 --> 00:32:15,93 just don't have any money to exercise the right of first refusal in either event 380 00:32:18,44 --> 00:32:25,12 process I do hope we can do something about correct here in the US.
