Okay, I will give you a right and then leave. Talk about the minutes. Katrina, I don't remember if this is yours or hers. This was mine. Okay, that's it.

and I thought it was good. Then... Yes, I did the same.

That is, you know, we used to talk about a lot of things in the past. So, I think some of the mistakes are good. This is very good. I can understand what happened when I read it.

You can watch the video later. Awesome. Okay. Is there more discussion? Okay, I don't hear anything. Oh, everyone is accepting the roll call vote. Oh, who? I. I can go.

That's the security.

Yes, that's the Deep Freeze software.

That's... Was it $600 or was it for a year? Yes. Okay. Okay. That's a well-spent money. Of course.

That's a lot. I wasn't sure if it was for a month or anything else. Only for 13 licenses for a full year. Okay.

Okay, is there anything more to discuss? Okay, I didn't hear anything. Is everything okay?

Aaron, aye.

Robel, aye. Rachel, aye.

Doug, aye.

Kari, aye.

Chris, aye. Okay, I accept the proposal. Now, let's move on. Graph 10.

Public. Library Capital Campaign Update, Doug. Yes, I think there would have been three things that we could have done to make Poondottan beautiful. I think I experienced it last month. Yes, Umm Apollo.

They brought new Quest computers for the O station computers. Umm, this is a PlayAway product. PlayAway is the one that makes Wonderbooks and PlayAway audio. So, this is a well-known brand. This is a quality brand. So, we are in it.

We are very excited. Umm, that request came. Umm, that too in a capital campaign.

You got a fund. Good. Otherwise, I don't think so much. That's all for the capital campaign updates. Thank you, Susan. Okay.

Do you have any questions about the capital campaign from the board or the library director? Okay. Okay. Thank you. Okay. That's good.

Let's go to the friends update. Yes, there was a very successful book sale of a Bakudu school for friends. And thank you to everyone who participated in it. And friends, now Grafton is planning to celebrate the holidays. They are planning to make bookstores for you. They are a good fund raiser. They are very popular. Then that's good. We talked about signage. Then they are planning. So this time when they ran the back to school book sale, they only had Saturday. Instead of running Saturday and Sunday, they thought they could do it again. Then they went to order some new items. That is, instead of Shani Alchi and Nyaya Raji, Shani Alchi book sales. Then they thought so. And when they received the books, I brought the advertisement for the pictures in the magazine. They thought that they would now stop it, and as if they were praising you who wanted to have nice pictures, It can be a little difficult to make a copy. As you know, we make sure that it is installed at the right time. If you do not install anything or anything else at the right time, it can cause a little confusion, but they try to order more book sales figures. Then, if you want to host, or if anyone wants to host, if there is a prime location where anyone can host a sign, and as you know, the news about book sales is coming out. It will be helpful. Let's put a sign. How can we put a sign in a book? Then, if you want, you can take one. Then, we will tell you. Yes, yes, yes, I want one. Okay, okay, good, okay, wonderful. Then, I will return it. Yes, yes. Yes, I know. I think she is really important. You may know the updates. You may know. I am researching the book sales of Bavi again.

Yes, but it is mostly in friends. So there is no shortage of materials and materials. She will always be hiding. And they always have the materials for book sales. I am surprised to see the example shown by people with experiences.

When we see books, it feels like people have gone to a bookshop, bought a book and brought it to the library. They are the real quality of the books they have picked, or the possibilities are amazing. Then we can actually hear the feedback. For example, when we run a book sale, there is a group of people who have curated the feedback very well. One part of that is Aaron Swartz. Aaron Swartz is curated in a great way by all his friends, but he He is like the leader of the curation.

Yes, he is a master curator. That is very true. Just as you make sure that the books you know are safe, just as you make sure that things are not in such a good condition, you know that you know old things. Yes, but you know that it was very good.

Okay, yes.

But thank you. Have you done any activities in the past? Then the next one is the Grafton Celebrates Holiday. Then the first Sunday of December is usually known to you, right? Yes, that's not very far. Yes, that's actually the next one. Okay. I don't remember when we did Puttu Puttu.

Oh, Teddy Cat Teddy Cat in the library.

Was that an event funded by a friend? It was a friend's event. It was at different times. Do you know? Sometimes it was on Saturday and sometimes on Sunday. They haven't shown it now. But next time I can show it.

I thought about a time when everyone in the library would have a holiday. Yes, so maybe it will be something good in the winter.

Then, of course, like waiting for Easter, I think next year is very early. So it will be an early event. I think it should be in March. Should we pray for Easter? Yes, I hope we will have another snowstorm. Let's see. Do you have any other questions about the Friends update?

Okay, let's go to the Lord with a technical information update. Sure. I think the progress is going very well. But I think we got a lot of updates from Katrina about the survey. Oh, sure. So, in our latest virtual technical information meeting, we completed the survey and sent it to the board this week.

I don't know if anyone got the opportunity to review it, but we had a committee. I found time to make sure that the survey was carried out and that the right reference frame was given to the people. Before launching, there were some things I had to complete. I think it will happen tomorrow. But we were building table tents for the town hall, town hall, public and library tables. I printed the paper copies of the survey. It was to be given to people who did not want to do it on the phone or laptop. We are also preparing to do social media push, newsletter push. Then, um. Then.

I think that the library is a good center for you to get a lot of public education. I will participate in the survey. I am surprised to know that you know the primary school children and things like that. I think it is like my children's daycare center. Yes. Do you know that there are two halls in Grafton? Um, namukku mailergal cheeyano, adho namal vannu, hey, namukku oru flyer post cheeyamu? Ennu chodhikano ennu enni kariyilla, allengil libraryil avar idhinagam thanne undannu nyangal pradheeshikinnu. Vyattishta groopgalil sandesham engana aithikaam ennudu bole oru mujhuvan team pravartikinnu undannu, alle?

Ade. Tantraparamaya asoothrana samidhiyle ubha groopgalil onna ana communications team.

Ade.

That's how we worked together. But I know that all the subgroups that we wanted to work with worked very hard. The day care workers were definitely there. That's good.

Yes, definitely.

At that time, I think we had a list of 30 different people. Those who were not used to it were the school administration, day care workers, and the senior center. We also have a plan for the Lions Club. We will take care of them. Okay. We have also asked them to take care of people who are related to different groups. Please continue from there.

Mamma, Kollam, do you want to talk about the working group sessions and the two sessions?

At the same time, we brainstormed about who is going to participate in our focus group session, which was held on 14th October. There will be two different meetings, one in the afternoon and one in the evening at 6 in the morning. Masaji Sachs is a Library System Consultant. Her name is Katharine Adalberg. They did the staff focus group on the next Professional Development Day. They are excellent. So, to get a full picture of our data as a survey, we are trying to bring together a group of people who are really interested in representing different groups in Grafton.

Is one of the groups that you find difficult to get library-free users, library-free users?

Library-free users. So, if there are library-free users that you found that day, we are trying to send them to Katrina. Because Katrina can make sure we have the right people in each group.

So, I think it will be a question. Yes, if you have someone in mind, or if you can't think of anyone, send them to my way.

I have someone. He is a member of the Scout Master. Yes, I don't have to go to the library anymore. Because I have all my audio books and digital now. Then why do I need a library? That is, the view you want is that.

Yes, who exactly are we trying to reach? Lots of library lovers.

How long does it take for those who work?

This is two hours. Two hours?

Okay. They choose one in two sessions. Yes, yes.

I can ask the people about me.

That would be great.

Yes, if they are interested, send them my way.

Okay. Um, do you have any other memories you can share about focus groups? Yes, we can share.

Okay. Sure. Okay. Thank you, Katrina. I'm happy. Do you want to share anything about the time we reached at the end of the journey? Oh, is that what you usually mean by the end of the project? Yes. To let the group know when they participate again, he said that he was our feedback.

Umm, don't try to fix me if you are wrong. But I think my wish is to end the Nagam survey on 23rd October. Umm, then the focus group will be completed. Prabhu and the data team. All data will be examined and it will give us meaningful points. Continue.

During the period when I don't have to talk to humans, we ask the Trusts.

And I think our goal is that you will have something to look at in the middle of November. Yes. I think we talked about adding two board meetings in the November and December months.

So, you will get initial views like November. Give us feedback. Then we have a session. I think it's our usual board. Because I think where Thanksgiving is coming from. We want to change our meeting one week ahead. I think that's what we decided. November 18th. Yes, then you can submit the initial feedback.

We will submit the rest on December 1st to everyone. Because we have to do this on December 15th to complete all our funding and things. That's why I think those meetings will be completed. I don't know if we did it at the beginning of December 1st. But I know that we changed it on November 18th. I'll check it again.

But... From the committee's point of view, you... Do you think there are good adults and good people? Or are you still looking for more people to work in a well-organized community? I don't know. What do you think? I think we can work with people who are more aware of the issue, because this is a very important issue.

My advice is the same as with all data sources and some data sources. I have lists of similar benchmarking data points, but we have to make them bigger. So, I think there is a lot of data there. If you need help, we can use two people to investigate it. I think so. I think so. Yes. Yes. So, a person who can help you.

Machine learning. Yes. Yes. But we can do it. Yes.

Yes. But you have to try.

You have to make it possible. Right? I know. I know.

It will be done. Yes. There are all kinds of responsible people.

Okay. And what kind of exercises are you studying? Only people who are very energetic and ready to take a bath. I think that's what you're saying. Yes. People who are energetic and energetic. Yes. And that's not it. We don't need three years of preparation. So, okay. To be a part of this journey for the next one or two months,

Okay. Can you take another trustee? I don't remember. Are you the only two? We are the only two. Are you the third? Can anyone take the third or the fourth? Right? Because we are seven years old. Yes. Yes. If you have three people, you will be fine. Okay.

Will you go to become the person they are looking for?

I left in about two and a half weeks in October.

Since there are more of them now, we are conducting a lot of virtual check-ins. So, it's easy to do this as soon as possible and bring in more people in 30 minutes. So, that's it. I have decided to look at my schedule and talk to someone. You three and I will talk to someone. Katrina, good. I will look at it because I want to get along somehow. But... That's good. Okay. Do you have any further questions regarding the Legislative Assembly? Okay. So, the policy update, Stacey said, they didn't get a chance to see it, and I think it's Monday, right? Yes, but if some of the different sections of the policies allow the trustees to see something first or second, I doubt where those policies stand. I don't know who wants to do it. So, we got a reply from the Town Council about the rent.

After receiving that feedback from them, we have not taken action. So, we

We need to check the documents, hand in their papers and leave. So... I took part in both the meetings. We are implementing that.

No one else was there. I still have to do that.

Oh my God!

I didn't see my email saying that they should be removed.

I was in the library. I didn't know that.

Yes, that's what you get. That's good. Yes. Yes, no, no, great and yes, like you said, show-stopping-like things.

We talked about making sure that the community room is clean before making that decision. Um, I'm working as our plumber. Um, I think the shut-off valve in the stove is closed. There is still a connection problem, so it is not working. Um, he bought a top for us as a sink, and when he comes to put it in, the stove and the handkerchief will be done at the same time. Then things are going wrong. Very comfortable. So, let's go there. Okay.

And, do the new members have more questions or opinions? Do they have anything that they can take back to their meetings? No. Okay. Katrina was selected for the new business from July 26 to June 29, CBA. So, most of it.

It's just a FYI. I know that Doug asked about the new CBI. The thing I wanted to point out to you is that it is a clause that says that any person who works outside of the library business should pay a salary of one and a half hours to the residents, and that the trustees should pay the money during that time. Then I have two questions about that section. Section 12.11. If anyone wishes, it is on page 50. If it helps, it is 50.

And it says that it is one and a half hours and it should be like that. So this is pleasant. Therefore, it is stated in Section 1.5 that we must pay full compensation for the indefinite amount of money spent on a one-and-a-half-year-old graph. And even if it is correct, it does not mean that we should fund it. Then Section B states that the trustee board will accept and fund its compensation when it is one and a half years old. I think my question is coming from here. Last year, we ended this meeting and gave money to all government agencies at the age of one and a half. This is part of it, isn't it? So half of the time comes from other budgets. I like how it was landed. We have to pay for it even before participating in discussions or knowing about it. That's why I think we can use a little more time for this at the end of the day. Because this is the city. It's really different from other parts. Now, I agree. And the staff will change this part.

I think it was very interesting. The city is not ready to lend money. That is, this is nothing new. That's right. Um, that's because you said it.

Town is not a part of the policy. Then... If we don't do that, what is the backup plan? Last year, I felt that this was our fault, so it seems like volunteers need to follow up on this. It felt like it was getting a little more complicated. We have more time. Even so, I know that the Halloween event will also take place.

In normal times, no, not like that. This is a festival. Yes.

Are you planning to add it when we arrive?

Oh, definitely. No, go ahead, Chris. Be brave and add it.

Yes, I was trying to find a good time. I wasn't sure how to do it properly. I would like to note one thing. I will have to go back to the actual meeting to find out the correct language. But last year when we accepted the initial fund, I thought it was Grafton Celebrates the Holidays. I don't remember which one it was. When we accepted it, we realized that it was something that had to be done only once. Yes, at that time, I wanted to do it. But...

I thought it was the right thing to do. But we didn't accept it like a reflection of the living. That's what the town administrator said.

But the town said that no one had time for an hour and a half.

But, according to what I have read, they say that they are giving approval to this project and they will give compensation to all the jobs that are conducted in connection with the 8th number draft. Then it will be part of the standard budget. At that time, they told us as the trustees, that if there is anything else beyond the day of celebration of Grafton, they should collect it from us and find the fund for it.

They did that. But that's how I read it. They say it's part of it. We don't have any part. Think about it. This will be handed over. It will be outside the normal funding. That's right.

You are talking about Celebrate the Holidays. Grafton...

I don't think the city has the capacity to hand over 1.5 hours of the Celebrate the Holidays. But that's part of the budget.

I think that Chris's point is actually possible, so can we get it from the town administrator and fix it? As we have made it clear in the general election, we will not hand it over again. The way it is stated in Section 8 does not mean that it is up to the board. So that's what I expect. It will be under the budget. The next part will be approved by the board and funded.

Yes, I think this is a discussion.

Of course, this is approved, isn't it?

Like this, yes, agreed.

But you suggested the Halloween thing. After the library hours, there will be staff for the library.

Yes. Then where is it? But it is said that it was approved by the vote of the trustee board. We did not vote for it. Okay. So they will get the money for it at their usual times, right? If they agree to operate it. No. No.

I don't think they will operate it. It will not happen. Okay. If we don't fund it.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I don't know the question.

This is after 8 in the morning. The regular time is 8 in the morning on Halloween. No. It's not Saturday. Oh. Oh gosh. Okay. Okay.

Yes, they will only get their normal salary for Halloween.

When it closes, till 1 in the night.

Not till 2 in the night. But I meant after hours. It doesn't happen. But in the past, they got their salary for time, not for normal times. That's what I thought. Yes. But this is not a normal Saturday or Sunday.

I meant, like last year. Right. Anyway. Saturday is a strange time.

I think we should talk to the town administrators. Halloween is a good example. Because we don't vote every year. This is something that the library does every year. We have taken part in this. So...

But it's not that much. Because if it's just one Sunday, it will be open. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning, it will be open till 8 in the morning. Mom!

Mom, I have a few questions about the CBI. I think we only have Halloween for two things.

I am aware that it can be used as a means of income, but it can also be used for hours. But I read that it is correct, because we will pay for the use of it, and it will help the person who works at that time. Yes, we want to make sure that it is within the 1.5 hours of the rate shown at that time.

By the time it is going to be there. The way we thought about the facility rent is that it is not included in ordinary library duties. This would be a more advantageous add-on. Yes, instead of a program sponsored by the public, people can choose here. Therefore, the whole city does not pay money. This would be just a little more stipend from the fees. It is completely different. To be precise, I had a question about UM 24.1. It is related to the closing that is not scheduled. To put it bluntly, if the Town Hall is closed for most of the days, extensions, long weekends, and events of the residents, the library will be closed, and the residents will have to pay for their regular shift. If the UM library is closed, all the scheduled residents will get a comp time for their regular shift. And I am wondering if we can understand how it will be when we look at the next year's calendar. And what decisions do you make about whether we will open up and give them time to return? And how will it affect the final budget? Schedule. Yes. For me. I didn't know if it was new or not. It is. I don't know how all this will happen, but I feel like this for the past two years. I want to take a step forward when the library is closed for the next year or when it is closed for the next year. Of course, we can't sleep in them, can we? When there is no water, we have to close them. It's the same there, but we can do some manual work in it. When we think about the side jobs, it is necessary. If we can close it on the days when this happens or on similar occasions, I think it will be really helpful. Yes, of course. Then,

Isn't it about a water heater project that's about to come or about Sherry? Isn't it about some things that you don't know? Then it will be clear. We have to do what we need.

But isn't it right like carpet cleaning? We know that we have to do it with a schedule for a lot of work. Then you can't really sit in bed. They need a long break. Then we will tell you at least one thing. If the town is closed for a day, or if the town hall is closed, it will be reduced. It will be helpful.

Yes, definitely. I don't even understand the meaning of that. If the library is open, all the living people will get time for their regular shift. But they are working from home.

Then they will get double the complete time.

Will they get it? It will become a base. Okay, so the reason for the completion is that they take advantage of that department to ensure that they have complete time for each shift. Then, let's say they had a long shift when they were working for something else. It doesn't just say a week. It says a long week is like an extended day. We are open. One person works for 4 hours. They will get that 4 hours of salary. Then they will get 4 hours of overtime. Then they will get 2 hours of salary. Then I think. What if they work for 8 hours? Then they will get 8 hours.

They will get 16 hours.

Will they get 8 hours of salary? They will not get salary.

They will get their overtime and their time. Yes.

Then you will get 2 hours of salary. They will not get double salary for this. That is my point.

Okay, you will get paid like PTO. This is like a fee. Like comp time, I used to do that before. Yes, yes. But you will get paid twice, right?

Because you have scheduled it for that day, you will get more time after that. Even then, it will come to our expense. Because we still lend money to people for their PTO.

Time is not like that. Time goes on. Then my team said, I don't know this exactly. But the people who get paid for my team, they are the ones who get paid. This is a little different.

Yes, they are the ones who work for hours.

They are the ones who work for hours. They are the ones who do it. Then... They... Even if they work for a week, they... 8 hours is the same. In a week, 8 hours of work will be cut off.

Okay. If they work for a week, they will move forward.

Then, in a week, if they get 8 hours of work cut off, they will get a salary. Is this a regular pay or a regular pay? Okay, this is a regular pay. It's Saturday morning. Don't do it. Don't do it. Then, when they cut off the work, Do they get paid for it? It is not done by the person who does it.

Then, we always do the comp time. Then, for example, Sara B has been scheduled from 8 a.m. on Monday to 4 a.m. on Thursday. Since someone is calling, she works until 6 a.m. We need the coverage of the managers. So, she works the first day. She takes the comp time on Wednesday and goes 2 hours early to spend that extra time. Exactly! Exactly! She is not getting paid for the hours she takes off. Do you think Monday and Friday are her normal days of work? But in reality, it has changed. Oh, no. She usually works on Mondays and Wednesdays. But the weekend ends at 35 o'clock now. Correct. So, that's how she works full-time in the library. My opinion is that you still have to work as a staff when she needs to be. Yes, that's right. That creates a staffing in the schedule.

So, that's possible. Yes.

We know it very well and we have done what we have to do. I have covered a lot of desk shifts. So, do you know? It has to go away. No problem.

I don't understand the clause. Because it is related to the clause closings that are not scheduled. The town hall is closed. So, when will the town hall close? The library will be open.

I don't know. That's good. I think the veterans have closed it every day.

Yes, that's it. I was like that. But it may be the only thing I don't know.

For example, at some point in December 24, the select board town will decide to close down completely. Will they count it as a day?

Even if they do.

But in the library, it is considered an indefinite period. Yes. Yes, I think they will do that.

We have to cover that. That's why it's not going to happen.

Okay. Yes, thank you. It was one of the strange things we haven't talked about so far. So, I think so. Because it happened. So, that's one side. It will be so. Okay. I didn't have to do this manually. This was also in the actual CBA. Okay. Yes. Do you have anything to say? Okay. Doug actually said the same thing.

I thought, when do they get a higher grade than the other days? But, if the town decides to give a different grade to everyone, it would be meaningful for the library staff to get it, wouldn't it? Like how town staff get it quickly to others, do you know? Yes. That's all. Yes. Thank you for answering my question. Yes. These are all good questions.

I haven't seen the CBI before, so it was very helpful.

At that time, I thought there were a lot of questions about the fact that I was going to use the word 58 hours, right? What is outside of 58 hours? If we need to work with library workers, all those activities should be done with the help of the money of the library board. It wasn't always like that, but this approval letter says so. So, we have to agree to talk to them in person.

Definitely, we have to remove two Grafton documents from the budget and from Katrina. Because it won't help the board. So, we took it from page 50, right? Yes, it was somewhere. That's it. What we say here first is, All jobs, including those related to 12-11A and Grafton, will face a one-and-a-half-hour delay. The Board will not comment on whether this will help. The next thing I would like to say is that we will vote for it, we will help, we will help. We are offering Dhanasahayam. Ops!

Okay. Yes. On the one hand, it will work. Katrina, I know that you and Arun need our three-month meeting with them. We have to walk in August. We can all agree. We can talk about it. I know that I have a list of other things that we need to see as logistics. But I think this is a good one. We can all talk about one thing at a time. That's why it didn't go back and forth. Yes. Let's see here. The approved regime and Dhanasahayam are not written. But that's B.

It doesn't say anything about Dhanasahayam.

Right. But, right. Thank you.

I know that the whole discussion process is always a journey. We want to make sure that our library workers are happy and are getting good results. They are doing a great job. So, we all feel that we have reached a good place. So, yes. Yes. You said it well.

Can I ask you a more specific question about Section 1211? Yes. Yes. and that we are talking to the Board of Trustees. We have accepted FY27. My question is whether this is in the early stages of development. We accepted the calendar for the next year. Then my question is, will this affect the events until the next calendar is approved? Even if we have voted to approve all these, will it be a pre-pandemic event? Or will there be only Bavi events?

We haven't approved Grafton Celebrates. I don't think Halloween has been approved. Otherwise, it's nothing.

Yes, I mean it came into effect from July 1st. Then it went back to July 1st. But we don't do that. Yes, we haven't started anything. We approved the calendar in February, March, April and May. Because we had an experiment that took place in May. But those are temporary days. It doesn't work.

It doesn't say that people are going to work. It says that they don't have to work. Yes, let it be so, Chris. We have approved what you say and what you know.

Then, do we have to pay a full-time salary for the things they have done so far? But I don't think the calendar has anything to do with this. This is beyond 58 hours, which is beyond the average days of this salary. Are you thinking? Certainly not a full-time salary, but if we had accepted these events before this calendar came into being,

But even if we have voted to accept what we want to do, are we responsible for the bad things we do? That's my question. You're thinking about Chris. Why? I think we haven't accepted the calendar year.

That's why I'm asking.

But it's the days when the library is closed. These are more events like Halloween and Grafton celebrations. Anyway, I believe those events are in the same calendar.

Go. I have to check it twice, but I think it's part of the package. Maybe I'm wrong. No, we'll check it twice. I don't need it.

We can check it. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Yes. Great call, Appu. Okay.

I had another question. I'm sorry. Umm, I think this was in another CBA.

Katrina, but the answer to the question about the arrest. Umm. It is below 62 and above 82. This is what I meant. Do you know what OSHA is? It's the same as a library. You can close a room if there is a problem. You don't have to close the whole library. That's right. That's what they say at the end of the letter. Only the library has the right to close individual rooms. That's right.

You are the ones who have the right to close the eight rooms. That's right. Thank you. That's right. We are like the months of Shaithi. Do we feel that we are in a place where we are not included in some offices, or do we have to take a step forward like some mechanisms are being implemented there? Not at all. I still think that the office of Kaumarakar is still a problem. When I was there on Saturday, Debbie suggested it.

Now I have connected with him many times.

Today I tried again. I am reminding myself that I have to test my skills again.

But we made a space heater in the past, didn't we? It helped. But I don't know if there was a problem in the morning. The reason is all night. Debbie said Saturday that it would take a long time to heat it. Yes, she said that. It's not that it's cheap.

So, are you making a list for my next three-month meeting? You have a lot of things in your hands. I would like to talk to my Renaud about them, as a vendor of TownHVAC.

Certainly. I am happy to talk about them again. Okay. I may have a different view on that. But let's see.

No, I think it's good. We use them at work. Yes. Yes. I know them. Okay. Yes. That is, I think we talked about it last week. Yes. Do we have to close that office in one night? Do we have to close it?

Yes.

No. Not like that. Okay. This will help to stop the spread of the virus. Yes.

What I mean is, I think the main reason for the problem is the lack of air circulation in that door. So, I think if you open a door, the temperature will be high. But... Try it at the workplace. Yes. Do you have any concerns about some of the items that should be kept as safe as possible? Are there any other locking desks next to you? I don't think their doors are closed.

I want to ask Debbie about this. I know that the video game cabinet officials have been careful there. So there are some things that we want to be careful about. But there is no one in the building where we are going.

Yes, we know that she wants her privacy in certain matters. Yes, but if we can file a cabinet or a MESHA or anything else. Yes, we are trying to work on this very difficult issue.

I mean, if it was easy, we would have completed it now. But we can take a temporary step to see how she opens the door. You know, we want to make sure that things are safe. So I'm sure we can do it if we have to find anything. Okay.

Thank you. Yes. We should treat it like another space heater that heats up fast. It's a temporary solution.

I don't know. I was talking to some people today. I think there were some opinions about space heaters in terms of safety. Yes, they are like very big disasters and fires. That's why I'm really looking forward to it. If we can make this solution work for a long time, then yes, space heaters are not safe. Yes. Okay. Good.

Are there any more discussions about the increase in the price of heaters? Thank you for taking this in, Sherry, because this is not something we usually do as a board, nor do we know a lot about it. This is very important.

Yes, yes, this is really helpful.

Good.

Yes. I am happy. Sherry, Umm, the next Inam Smith is the representative of Solutions. I expected to hand it over to you this evening. Umm, we have definitely installed the filtration system. We have successfully tested it. Um, I think the maintenance staff in the city can take care of its agricultural landfills. So it's a cost we don't have to pay.

Okay.

Um, it looks beautiful. Yes, it does. On Saturday, you got a close-up of a bird's view. Um, he's like that. The plumber in Smith Solutions works as an electrician. Because it's a big job to change the water heater. And, before getting both the quotations, we are waiting for the electrician's piece. Then I asked him two things. I asked him to give me an answer during business hours. Because he doesn't need water for at least one day. Then, will it be a business day where the library is closed or a business day where the public is not allowed to open? Another day when there is no hot water when you get the medicine? Then, I asked him to give me quotations for being online during business hours. Then, we can know what we are looking at. Okay.

Yes, even if the library is closed, it may be cheaper for the entire population to pay for it than to pay for it. Yes, yes.

Like October 12th, I don't know, because today is the day of the new generation, I don't know, one of those days is working well. I am sure that it will happen. Since it is the last day, it is in the course of the past few days.

I think it will come. But because it is possible, our director's time has to be allocated.

Because someone has to be available. And yes, we have to do it. We have to do it. I agree. Before doing anything, talk to me about how your schedule will be. Is this a water heater or filter? Then a new heater. Yes. That was the second part of that project.

At that time, I had one.

He said he had three days.

That's why I'm not a plumber. I don't know, but you have to close everything. You have to flush everything. You have to cut everything. He is going to install new pipes in the room of the M.H.M. custodian if some pipes break on the floor. All electrical appliances have to be sold and re-connected. There is a lot of money in it. That's a lot. Yes.

Okay.

Anyway, I have to get it. Because the project will cost more than Rs. 10,000. So, before I move forward, I have to get the prices from the opponents. Forgive me. Okay. Mom, I don't need it then. Forgive me. Okay. Um.

Is there any difference between the water and the filtration system in Tamil? Umm.

What I meant was, the water is filled with the liquid that was installed at the beginning. No, it was like that. It happens like that. Yes. Um. I don't have any complaints. I think the water is normal. Mom, he said it was a little uncomfortable. He said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said,

It is delicious. My son always says that the water in the library is so beautiful. He likes to fill his water bottle with the water from the library. It is very tasty. It must be something good. This is really good.

But I have to come to him and conduct this taste test. Taste test, yes. Yes. A little salt.

Yes.

Okay. Great.

Thank you. Yes. Okay. So, the following day of the agenda is Halloween. Okay. We... I think we have talked a little about that.

So, it's up to you whether you like it or not. I have a comment on that. Yes. I think it's good that we are running against the 30-day scheduling. Okay. So,

I am ready to make a decision about it at night. Do we know the expenses? How much will it cost? Do we know how many staffs will have to pay the proper fees?

Nalla margam, oru bakshe, um, angane 7 staff hangangale aveshim anane nyangale teerumanichu. Adhila oralai nyane vekthamayim kanakakum. Adhinale 4 manikuru adhigamai 6 staffigale aane nyangale avide unda irikane pogunade. Pularche 5 mani mudhala pagal 9 mani vare ara manikuru vritti aakane nyangalke samayam nalgum. Um, nyane aadhe egadesham 400 dollar aayrikum enne nyane ohichu. Sheri, paribadiye kurichi korachu kudi parayamo? Evideyana? Ningal endaane cheyennade? Ade. I understand that this event has been going on for years. Um, South Street.

Is this your first time? Yes. Yes, because you said it was a miracle.

Um, so South Street is holding a big celebration for Halloween this evening throughout the city. Yes, yes. They closed the streets. That's amazing. You can walk the kids on the road. At that time, there was a special event in the house of the kids, especially in the teen party hall. I don't know what Debbie is planning this year. But I know that she and Sean are doing things in their hands. Usually, the staff of the kids will have a table in front of them. They all have small rubber tables. And then we have two people who don't have full access to the toilet. But we have opened the foyer on the front side to use the bathrooms. So?

To get access to the bathroom on the main level, but not in the lower level.

They will have access on the opposite side. Yes, they will have access through the main entrance.

Oh, you can go.

Forgive me. Then it's fine.

So normal doors will not open. Normal.

The doors will not be the same. We will be in front of normal doors. So like there is no one in the library, we will only use the bathroom. That is the reason. We can lock the rest of the people. Okay, then you need a person. Then you are thinking like a person in that area. Do the other three have to do the same thing? Yes, then we will have two people in front of us. A person on South Street makes an important contribution. Two people in the party hall of the farmers and two people in the front foyer to control the people who come. Make sure that one person runs away and that people get bathroom breaks and make sure that we have anything we need. There are seven people at that time. Mamma, there are seven people at that time.

Okay. Oh, how is the gate? Will it be closed in the school? Of course it will. Oh, good. Great. Good. The expenses you mentioned are only for the salaries and gifts. Did anyone sponsor it?

Or is it part of the municipal budget? Okay. I think so. Okay. They usually accept it, right? They usually accept the events, right?

They help people in South Street Street. Yes. No. But I mean the library.

It used to be the same before the library.

I agree. But they used to accept it for South Street. They didn't want to distribute it in the library. Okay. Oh, I didn't understand that. Yes. Yes, because the families in South Street have a lot of this. Yes. I don't understand why the library did that.

So, I need to make a decision. I know it's still less than a month. Then... That's one.

Yes. Then, Katrina, if I can, I have a question for you. I'm sure. I don't know what the answer is to this. So, I'm going to inform you about this. Yes. But it is clear that this project will cost $400. I am trying to think how many projects are there in a calendar year. You were only here for months. I realized that it was not for years. But I am trying to think. Okay, if we accept this $400, what does the rest of the budget mean for the year? Yes.

The reason is that I see this as a silent demonstration of what is happening in Karar. I believe that my desire is there. I believe that the happiness and wonders and wonders that come with this process and the hours that we spend are very valuable. I share my happiness with my children. But my desire is not to think too much and not to be used. And, as you know, it has a lot to do with it. And, as you said, this has been going on for years. This has never been in our budget. So, that's my question about how it will be in the library. If you can imagine, I won't put you in numbers.

Yes, um. No, that's a great question. I completely understood where you're coming from. Um. I think that the two library activities we regularly do outside the library are only Halloween activities and Grafton Celebrates. But the staff doesn't turn it on, it's Saturday. The staff only works for the living. Yes, it's not outside the library time. Yes, this year is Halloween, it's Saturday, but it can be a little less if it's Monday, Wednesday or Thursday. I don't know. I don't know if this event is over yet. I don't know how long you will be scheduled after 8 in the morning.

Until 9 in the morning. Staff until 9 in the morning.

Then it will be more than that. So I don't know which day is next Halloween. But if it is Saturday, it will be more than one hour.

So, this is the worst coincidence. Yes. Or, it's the last Sunday.

Yes. Last year was the last Sunday. So, I checked for the next 10 years. I was curious how many times it would happen. So, what happens when South Street event happens on the actual day of Halloween? This has always happened. This is a last Sunday. Okay. I was curious.

But if this is a legal system, the library will not be able to participate. We can fund it. If we fund it, we will have to fund it. The library is a major center for all families. They need to have bathrooms.

Yes, because it is closed like South Street. But it is generally closed. So this is actually like an entrance ticket. Do you know? Do it. Okay.

Um, nyan.

E chodiyathilayku madangum, allay. Grafton Avadi aakoshikum bol, nyangal oru tavanayum onnara tavanayum. Sheri, paksha, pattanathil mattarum onnara tavanayum panam idakun illa, allay. But this is the same place for Halloween, isn't it? What can be imagined is the same as this question. Others in the city don't get paid for one and a half hours, right? To do this, that's why the city doesn't pay for it. That's why it didn't get half of Katrina's budget. They can give them time, but they can't give half. So, I ask again and again, why? Is that fair? I know it's here, isn't it? So, what they're saying is, if you don't give us 1.5 hours, we're not going to do it. But... They agreed to it for the city.

So, when they celebrated the 90th anniversary of Grafton, I read that they agreed to hold a discussion with the city library. So, do you know? No, no, no. They're saying that the city won't give us 1.5 hours.

Because it's not fair to other people. So, at least for one thing, right? That's how it is with us. That's right. That's why we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Grafton. They have given their approval. That's it. I read it.

Yes, but I don't think it was Catherine's idea.

But that's how they have written it. Yes, I think I am saying too much. Isn't it? Each speech we heard or conducted, isn't it? The love of the religious problem here is like going back a step. Isn't it? They get paid 1.5 times. Others don't. So I feel I'm pushing myself to a corner. This is not about whether people should be paid 1.5 times. I'm not saying whether they should be paid or not. I'm saying that we are taking a decision that will give more salary to a part of the population in the city than the rest of the population today. That's what I'm getting. I'm stuck. I think this is not a problem for other parties.

What was the name of the Grafton thing that we had a month ago? Did the people in the Rec Department get paid for it like the Grafton Day? Let me ask you a clear question in May, like one and a half times. Is this the only union in the city outside the schools?

Police is there. No. Yes. Police is also there. But police is also doing a lot of work. GME is there. That is Grafton Municipal. Okay. Employees Association. Then that is the rest. The rest of the city is that. That is why we don't know what it is.

I mean. There may be something in their career. But we don't know that. Yes.

But I think that's why we were pushed back in the past. The fact that we don't have a city, that's the message I received. We can get back to them. But others don't get paid for 1.5 hours, so we can't. But if we think like Halloween, like town hall workers, they don't work on Halloween night, that's what I mean.

As you know, this is really out of normal business times.

But the custodial staff is working.

After school hours, there are educational events for the disabled. That is, they have written it in their cards. They may get ordinary salary or it may be just that. But I think it is. It was like that. It was a belief that others would not get one and a half times salary. I share my religious desire. Isn't it?

Should we do it like going out? Isn't it good to think that what I'm saying is what we should vote for? No matter what we decide, that's what I think.

Did you see the Pound Administrator before Halloween?

I sent him an email and asked him what he was going to do. But I think we're going to vote. Will we vote for Halloween tonight? Yes. We think they have to make it a holiday.

One. Just one holiday. I have heard one thing. When working as an ordinary municipal worker like other municipal workers, other town departments do not have to work for two weeks. Therefore, when more work days are required, they sometimes leave the work for the whole week, as the workers feel. But they have a different shift. They get $2 more per hour for working at any time after 5 p.m. in the morning. They do that. So, you hear what I'm saying, right? But they get more benefits for taking shifts on Saturdays.

There are plenty of places where you work on Saturdays or after that. You don't get that income. That's right.

So, I think we have discussed this a little. We have to decide if this is something that we want to promote to the public or not. The other reason for the lack of funding is that the library is closed. Then, as you said, it goes back to a corner. Whether it is there or not, do you want this? But... If we are waiting, we will have to wait for that time. I think we don't have an option because we are in a hurry. It is unfortunate that we haven't thought too much about anything that shouldn't come out of the state aid fund. Yes, but it's $400. This is not a single day. Yes, this is $400. Then, yes, I think I'll go back to the time when the third director gave it. Then it turned into a downfall. That's why we're standing here today.

Two quarters.

Did the directors give you a full one and a half hour or half an hour overtime? Reason. If not, do you have a part in the budget for the Halloween hours? No. No. Nothing. Okay. But you have a reason. But that.

It was Saturday. If it was a day of regular activity, one part of it would have fallen there.

Is that $400 for half the time or $100 for one and a half times? Only half. Okay, that's only half.

But no, when we read the card, we have to pay one and a half. I don't think it's normal. Then, we will have to pay both. It will be 1200.

Yes, that's why I read it. I read it in the same way that I had to do it for 1.5 hours and 1.5 hours.

So, we don't decide whether we want this to be staff-loving or not. We don't agree to pay Rs. 1200. Okay. Rs. 1500. It will be Rs. 1500. But since Katrina hasn't seen this language before, I think this is an action to make sure that we understand the language correctly. If you think it's half or one and a half, then it's half, and if we think it's one and a half, then it's okay. So, I think we need to fund this. I'm ready to say a few words tonight, so we don't have to go back to the special session.

What are the facilities? What are the meetings that are going to take place? You, at that time, with the town administrators, I, it, the day-to-day stuff, is it like that? Because they don't give money to others, they keep us together from one and a half. At that time, it is really ours. For example, if we say that we will do it only if the staff gets one and a half salary for the day-to-day stuff, We can't do that, because it would be unfair, right? The town administrator said, no, we will treat you differently and specially from others, and that's why I'm stuck. This is the part where I'm stuck at the end of the day. If we get the opportunity to do it with volunteers, I really want to see what option Katrina needs, right? I know it's not appropriate. But it's another option for me. Or we can't even do it because it's Halloween. That's also fair. But... Yes, I don't think it's about money. I think there are three people.

I'm in the same situation. One board thinks it's strange that when one and a half employees get a salary, others in the city don't get it.

Yes, this is unfair to others.

We don't know if others will understand it. We don't understand it. It's true. But we have to face it in some other meetings we have held. No, that's a conversation. Okay, I'm only making excuses for myself. Because when there are planning board meetings in the planning department, the town planner and the assistant planner will be there until midnight. But I don't know if they will get a different response for those hours. It's part of the plan. Okay, that's how schools work. That is, they have to stay for parent school, parent teacher conferences, right? They don't get paid much for that. I don't think so. That's part of our karar. Otherwise, they have an October 1st event. You know, there are teachers in those things. I don't think they are getting paid for that. They spend their time on their own. So, this is a little suspicious about the library. Yes, but I agree. It is very good to celebrate Halloween in Grafton on certain days. It is very good for the people in the library to bring the community into those rooms. So I think this is a very good community event.

Yes, this is not anything else about events or things like that. That's how it is. But do you know, again, on every Saturday and Sunday, I show a lot of sympathy. As you know, they work on every Saturday and every Monday. Do you know that? But there are a lot of jobs that work on Mondays. If you hire me, I will sometimes go out on Mondays. I won't get much salary.

I think the argument is from those hours, right? Because if you are an 18-hour worker and you work on all other Saturdays, that's one thing. Then the rest of your week will be wasted.

But I think Monday is like family time.

But I am thinking that the people who work in the retail business get a week's leave. Yes, you are still keeping people for two days. Like me, people are in the restaurant, right? It is part of the agriculture that you cultivate. Saturdays and Sundays are also part of it. That's how it is, but... They don't work six days a week. They still get a two-day leave a week. I think.

But, yes, right.

Yes, for me. But, but, but, if you are using it, do you mean that they are different from other people? Because you like yourself, just like people in retail get a different impression. Do you know the tip? So, you can't say that they are like other people in the library. Because when they work, their expectations are different. Okay, whatever it is.

I think it's the same thing that happened last year. We are stuck in it because we are funding it tonight.

If we don't give it, it won't work. Okay, then thank you. Because I wanted to end the discussion. Has anyone wanted to say anything? No.

The question is, what is it? You gave it to us. We will do it at least once. We won't do it. We are volunteers. Will I get it or not?

I will try to bring something together. I don't know.

Um, I don't think it's the only thing we can do. That's it. I think it's a good idea. I don't feel good when I get an employee. I think there will be staff. Okay, someone for the wedding. You have to be responsible, so. Okay, yes, yes, then. All year round. Vila Peshala.

Pakshe vichitramaya sahajarigalil idha aarithi irunur alengil aarithi We can do other things, but we have to fund at least one thing. So it will be $3000. We are helping the government every time we don't do that. So, Chris, we have to fix this. But we don't think we should fund the way we read it, the way the trustees celebrate Grafton holidays. But that's not very clear. Yes, but I'm paying 50 by 50. I don't understand. I understood it. 50 by 50 in my mind.

Yes, but I don't know what the worst possibility is. In a special sense, we don't know what it is. So, what I'm saying is, if we read it and actually fund the whole thing, there is a chance that it will be so cheap every year. Um, do you know? Or is it a part of it? Um, so you know it from my mind. Even if it is less than $2, if it is less than $1,000 or $2,000, it will be a three-year financial aid. We decide to agree to this. We use the 1-2-1-1 that we fund 50 by 50.

If the next sentence is clearly stated that the trustees have funded, it means that the trustees have not funded the ANV. So, I don't understand how you can argue that the graphic should be funded by the trustees. The way it is written is not clear. So, I would like to bring the discussion forward again, right?

So, we have a different understanding of how Kathrina wrote it and how she interpreted it, right? They are two very different groups. And do you know, in Chris's opinion, that every year for the two events that we vote for, we will get a $3000 fund from the government. And it can be that much. Then there was one thing, Doug, that I had been on the board for a while. Just like we never had to fund Halloween, I was surprised that it was only for one hour. You know, when the library closed at 8 in the morning and they went home, they didn't get any response to the cleanup. A few years ago, it was open until 9 in the morning. Yes, it's been two years since then. Yes, it's now 8 in the morning.

And they didn't get any response to the cleanup.

Yes, that is, they have taken comp time. I understood.

I understood. Okay. Um.

Can you do one and a half hours through comp instead of comp? Can we pay or do comp time? That's what I planned. That's how I presented it in front of the staff.

Then, one and a half hours is not really a cost piece. This is just a comp piece. You can change it and operate it. Yes, that's what I planned to do.

Then, we don't even have to accept $400, because they are going to leave on a weekly basis. Then they will get one and a half hours of time. But if you have said that this should be accepted for any of the other activities here, how can you do that? Right? Yes, but we are accepting it.

People who have to work outside of their normal hours will suffer losses. And then they say it's like giving a salary. Salary.

Not like giving a salary. But what I mean is another option. Pass the voting tonight. After talking to the next town administrator, a special meeting will have to be held within one or two weeks. I think that's the right thing to do. Should it be changed? We have a variety of expressions to use. I think this is what is needed for an action leader. Town Administrator. Use that instruction from the Town Administrator. Okay. It seems like a plan. If you need a special meeting that is comfortable for everyone, do it soon. In that way, you can be more active. Okay. Okay. Very good. And more discussion. Okay. Um gardening landscaping update, Doug.

Um, yes, some important news. I'm trying to read something special. So, we, okay, told Kathreen. I don't know if this was in your director's report. I did.

But I think it's wrong. Okay, okay, I'll reduce it now.

You're on zero. I think it's good. Um, um. Two weeks ago, a community greening award for a library in the New England Botanical Garden in Tower Hill was announced as a name suggestion. Awesome! UMM made the lectures a base. That's very exciting. UMM is doing this in Tower Hill. It feels like it's been four or five years. UMM is getting nominations. They're going to represent. I think they're going to talk about it. Today, Um Katrine and I met two of the Tower Hill representatives. We walked around their property in Poonthottam. They described different hard-hardscapes, landscapes, greengroceries, ordinary gardens, and green roofs. Um showed them everything, and explained how the construction process and the three-day campaign were combined to build it. Yes, that's why this is very exciting. These are the people who hold meetings in libraries all the time at the beginning of the year. Yes, yes.

So, in January or March, we can find out what they decided by deciding which meeting they will participate in. That is...

Very exciting. Yes, this is very exciting. Yes, good. I thought it was clear.

Thank you to everyone who suggested us. Yes. I doubt if it was a matter of time after it was cleaned. Yes, that's a good question. This is a very good time. Fortunately, we had a good time.

That is, there is only one problem. The flowers don't bloom that much. But this is only the time of the year. Yes, and I hope we will get an update in the springtime. That's wonderful. And, and, good. Do you have any questions or opinions, Chris?

Oh, no, not for our Poonthottam. Okay, okay, you're ready for the next walkabout. Good. This month, I conducted an exterior walkabout. I think the gardens of Tower Hill look very beautiful. So, most of these buildings are not too new. So, to highlight and speed things up, I know that a large part of Katrina's belongings has been reported in her director's report. One of the things I didn't do there is that I only took care of some of the old buildings in Munveshathai and some of the stones there. It still looks bad. There is a dry wood in Munveshathai Muttathai. We will be able to walk around this place twice a week. Or, if we don't build a fountain there in the next spring, we may have to think about it. We have F-chargers. Some of them work, some of them don't. I wasn't sure in which direction they were going. Should we change the ones that can't be fixed? Oh, I took care of the office heater. Even though I wasn't there, I wanted to get a status. So I thanked Katrin in the front of the meeting. One thing I was researching is that there is something called Radiant Ceiling Panels. It can do hardware. And because of that, they do not fit in one section. That is, as I understood, the same codes of a space heater. And because of that, like a scheduled event, or like a normal heater, when kept all night, they can become active. It will cost less than $2,000, but if there is such a small space, it will not be such a big installation. Also, some of these problems can be a solution to some of these problems, even if it is for less heat. It will not be solved. That's amazing, Chris. I thought the same thing. What kind of creative solutions can we find? And thank you for that. Yes. Yes. And if you have any questions about it, I am not exaggerating in this. Do you know? But I am happy to share what I know with you. And I have learned a few things. Um, gutters, generally, from what I've seen so far, I don't think there's anything wrong with them. But I know that by the end of November, modern gutters are very good. We've had problems before. I know they've done that in the past. But every year, as part of our annual November project, we would like to make sure that there are no problems there. And they are the main ones. And the last part that I wanted to discuss, because I saw this in your director's report, is that you are updating the project list using different parts. If anyone needs help in finding out what to do with the old things using new tools, I and John, who is not on board, can help them in many ways, or at least everything.

Oh, good. So, we can do that. I know there are a few crossovers. It's not a big deal, but there are some crossovers in Raymond's report. So, there doesn't have to be two crossovers with double entries. Okay.

So, if there is any problem, if it's helpful, someone should contact me. Good. Thank you. Okay. Do you have any questions about what happened? I only had one question.

Yes. I don't know.

Apple is working hard to collect data and use photos to update all the problems in the core. We are working on the maintenance part of it, and if we can't handle a particular problem to see what can be done to his side, can we give some contacts? I noticed that there were big ropes inside the clock in the historical airport. I thought there was something on the top. Mom Yes, and it was a problem that happened a month ago. It happened when Jay and Jay Roofing came to move all the cold welds to hot welds. William He put on his suit and tie and went into crawl space. He said that he couldn't see anything and that when Jay and Jay came, he could see it. I didn't pay much attention to him. And as it is a historical part of the wedding, it is possible that this could have been a CPC project.

I know that it is part of the role of the committee that we have been spending a lot of time talking about the wedding because of the controversy. Yes, when we think about the tactical plan and the questions we ask, it is not really appropriate for us to like this part of the tactical plan for the next five years. We are getting a point where we can focus again on our same library director for any big names in the new wedding. So, I don't know, it may be like that. Maybe this is a question from the consultant, right? It's not the feedback we get from the survey people. Because they often don't pay attention to the ceiling tiles, right? They may be like that, but when they come, they will think how they felt. Do I have the book I need next to you? Do you have materials next to you? I am curious to know how this will happen in the next 5 years. Especially when I read some feedbacks, I feel that some of the things that have been installed correctly are now creating problems and we can use it to fix ourselves through money. Is it a place where we need to focus our attention? Yes.

Okay, I'm not sure what you're asking, but I think it's like a standard method. It's not part of the standard method of using a standard method or a method of using facilities. No. Are you talking about the survey question? Have you included it as part of the survey question?

It's not part of the survey question, but when you think about a standard method, you often say that your effort to take your time, your money, your establishment forward is there. If so, then this is a big part, isn't it? So even if you are running a three-day campaign and fundraising, it will be a big focus for the next five years. What I have to ask the consultant is how it comes into it. Because I didn't include it in the survey, right? Not like that.

So, I am thinking in an administrative way, we will have an administrative duty. In addition, the system of a system or the facilities of a system will cost as much as your budget. And then we will say that it is 40%. We will say that in a smart way, all these messes will come and these events will take place and then it will end. Your administrative duty should be reduced. This is how I relate to what you are saying. It's a part of what we did with the new building. It was meant to be preserved, and we had a belief that it wasn't as big as it used to be. But it's a pleasant thing to do. If you're spending 20% of your time on the construction of the building, how can we bring it back to life in such a way? In the first two years, what can we do to reduce it by 10% or 5%? These are the main goals.

This is a great job in a community where I work hard.

If anyone wants to hear about it, I have a suggestion. Of course.

What is the most honorable suggestion for a Frational Facility Manager?

I don't know what a frational is.

One part of his time is to take part in municipal gatherings, schools, or anyone else. That's what I mean. So, I know that it shouldn't be a service. This can be outsourced. I believe you. I think it will be the question of the town administrator.

So, I asked William and Ivan about a facility manager. They have talked a lot about this, in my opinion. When I was working at Northborough, it was a big success for them. This really allowed the library director of Northborough to focus on other things. And I asked myself, when will it happen? I asked jokingly. In 2030, they got a lot of response. Then, we can add this to our list along with them, right? As they think, this is something and it is a great suggestion. Yes, no, I think it will make a big difference. And for that, we are moving towards this city. Yes, I think it is time to put Raymead's report here and ask it. Yes, yes.

And through that, I spoke to Raymead.

And he showed me the building. There was his report. He also promised to be the project manager of some of the major construction projects. At that time, as a fractional manager, he promised to go out to write and do housework. He did. To me, to him. Let's ask. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Where are we in the agenda? We are completing the Walkabout. Walkabout. Okay. Is there any more commentary on the Walkabout, Chris? Okay. The Commissioner's report.

Okay. Since everyone got the opportunity to read everything, I wanted to give you some updates after I sent the report in the last few days. Okay. Um, I walked through with the insurance adjuster about the fire that happened on Saturday. Cover them all. Um, I have started to submit the encore bills and the alarm bills to William. There is no hindrance to do the rest of the work. Or is there a deductible? I don't think so, but I think the city will take care of it. He goes to the insurance adjuster, brings some professionals to the site to walk through, and he acts as a building inspector. They are going to conduct a survey of the site. I think they are going to conduct a very well-deserved investigation.

Can they be saved? Will they use the pond again or will they change it? I think they want to change it.

Yes, when we went there to see it, it felt a little bad. It's very bad. We expected it. But yes. And so I left it in their hands. I don't have time for this. I think it's too early. But I wanted to update. And

If you can decide about the deductible, we will have to do it. They are not ordinary small deductible deals.

Yes, but I think it will be something from the town.

Today I was told about the deductible. And yes, I haven't heard about it. We haven't heard about it. But I will decide.

But since we are talking about the fire, thank you to Rachel and Aaron for coming at all times at night and handling it.

Thank you. My eyes were still black. I couldn't even add an email together. It's like 2 o'clock at night. It's the worst. Because it's like you woke up after sleeping for one or two hours. Then you had something, didn't you?

Yes. Okay. Big wishes to the fire department. The chief and the deputy were great. They were with me when we waited for everyone to come and clean everything up. But they don't usually do that. So, they had to do something as if they were doing charity work. So, it was very happy to see them there with the second eye and make sure that we could open it in the morning. So, it was like that. It was great. That was the first number 3 for sure. Yes.

I was going to tell you about the plants for walking, but you went all the way here and examined the place.

There are two plants in front of us. We haven't done it yet. They are in very thick stone cylinders. Okay, yes. We have to find out how to do it.

If the fire department has a question at work, we can help to change some people. Hey, do you know, we have a problem. Is she also a victim of fire? Ask. What are you suggesting?

Yes, I think you can smoke a cigarette in a plant. I believe she is actually a drug addict. I don't know if we have any sprinklers there. Because she looks like the original one. I thought Pringler was not on fire. That's what they did. But we are not talking about Munmesh. I am talking about the normal fire. Excuse me. We had a problem with the fire in Munmesh. Usually, there are two big planters. When the planter caught fire, the fire was caught in the back. They say this. Yes, I have to turn it down to the floors. So that it doesn't hit the tree. Yes, I am happy that there are no plants instead of dead plants.

The dead plant caught the fire.

Yes, I moved a plant outside. I thought it would make it healthier. Then someone threw a cigarette into it. Yes.

Then, even this... It was terrible. I swear. I had a sprinkler there. Oh, yes. Yes, I called the fire department and thanked them for their kindness.

Yes.

I swear. Yes.

Okay. I swear. And another update, one of the staff members of our children will be out for a long time. This is a medical issue, so I don't want to make any announcement on camera. But it will be the cause of a small staff problem in the children's room. That was definitely a surprise to us. So we are trying to understand this situation a little more. And then Joy and Duncan also said that the historic society historic commission approved the construction of a reservoir in front of the building. We should help the DPWM to find the right place and make it work by pouring concrete. Wow! Good! At that time, it would be like standing in front of a historic entrance. Would it be on the other side? On the other side. Oh, that's good. Yes, oh, that's beautiful. Can you remind me? Did this group find it exactly where they needed it?

We looked at the pictures and thought that it would be on the other side, not on the other side of the trees. We felt that it would be on the other side

The other side of the bridge. We gave it to you, didn't we? We asked you to pick it up from the other side of the bridge. Okay. I wanted to make sure.

You know what to do, don't you? Me and myself haven't been to that part of Puluthakidu in a short time. But Team Patio is there now, right? When we came to Team Patio, there was an access, right? Or am I mistaken? It will be at the top. Yes, the access is at the bottom.

Yes, we want to make sure that the existing access is not obstructing it.

Okay, yes, no, there is no problem there.

Yes, the other route is to Manjubilchi. The reason is that there is no way. So, Even if it is a long distance, they still have to walk. Yes, they have to know that. So, just like you think. But there is a good place there.

I thought it would go back there, just like the ponds. The rice of the grass and the grass are all right.

Okay. Not in the middle of the grass. Oh, okay.

That's what I thought. But I think there's a good spot there. Yes, there is. We have a saw. Okay.

So, they should be able to cut around.

They should be able to cut around. A good thing is that we'll be close to the fence, not up.

Not down. Okay. There's a small stone. This small stone is broken. As you know, where is the grave?

Yes, I was doing it there again. Actually, it's... It's close to Idadhu Vashtha.

Yes, can you send us a picture of where it would be on its official land? If there are any structures, but you are fine with it. Okay. Yes, I will act as DPW. We will find a place by making all these structures a base. Before pouring concrete, I will send you a photo.

If we need a representative from the trustee board, and if it meets any of our schedules, we will be happy to speak to them as the last placement. Yes. I will contact you. Okay. I don't think the board should accept a final. No, give feedback. Okay.

I think it's good. Um, I announced it quickly.

Um, this came to my table today. There were 123 candidates in the candidates' room today.

It was a new record. It was awesome. What was that event? Nothing. There was no event. Half a day, half a school. Oh, it was half a day. Yes, yes, yes. They come to spend time in the library. Yes, there is a place for the need. It's good. Yes, then they do a great job. Thomas. Katrina, I have a question. Then, the $10,000 grant from the Greater Worcester Community Foundation. Is that amazing? But... Is it for Friends or for the library? Okay. Since GWCF is not able to give grants to the municipalities, Friends has promised to give funding. Give it back. Okay, that's what I thought. But I didn't see it in the report. That's why I was a little confused. But go. Yes. Okay. Yes. Okay. That's amazing. Yes.

Thank you.

Geocaching is also very good. It's good. Yes, it is. I understand geocaching.

I intended to do this a while ago. But I still think it's a good thing. That's why it's fun. Yes, no.

This is very popular. I have done this program in my other two libraries. I enjoyed it a lot. When I learned that Grafton Land Trust brought me this idea, I was happy. That's what I thought. This is one of the most enjoyable things. We can conduct construction activities throughout the day. But we want to spend more time on this. Yes, I praise it. I don't know if there is a place in the Jerome Wheelock statue, but it may be a sticky note. Oh! Under the fort. Under the fort. The fort. Then, when we look at the current statistics, everything goes up. About 7,000 children. Like 123 people, because sometimes you hear the library closing. Graf Channel 123 Kaumarakar. There are a lot of Kaumarakars. There are a lot of people in that room.

All of them. Not for a single day.

Okay, that's true.

Not for a single day. It was like that even today. That's why we are growing more and more.

That's what we want. When you start a library, you may not have a place. We are worried about when the place will grow. It would be good to know when the reconstruction will take place. I know we only did a library. So I'm not suggesting anything like that. But... Some of those organizations are very happy to see that it is moving forward. On the one hand, this may be some of the organizations that are coming out of our traditional methods, like our goals. But I think this is exactly what 123 did for me. I asked, oh, is that too much? Do we need overflow now? Do we have to think about how to use outdoor spaces in the right way? So some of them will be helpful in that. I don't know if the Saturday mornings like the children's room are getting dark, or if there are such things happening at that place at certain times, or at certain times at other times.

You have to make a statement. Then, before the engagement was accepted, there were some plans. The engagement was carried out. There was a plan for the engagement. This is the size of the library.

Since we got the support of the NBLC, we are very happy. This was a great project. The people who worked on it also appreciated it. I think it was 20 years ago. Of course, it was 20 years ago. You entered the library within 20 years. Even then, it was dark. I don't remember seeing it.

Only because the people in the library construction committee heard this, Okay, is this enough? Is that enough? Then what is the plan? There may be some changes in the future. Okay.

Oh, anything else from the director's report?

Are you going through the committee's report or is it just a part of the report? Because I have two questions. Oh, sure.

Um, are you talking about your needs or what? Yes, sure.

I don't like to ask them about their treatment. But do you know what treatment they have? Because they give their opinions in their opinions.

Do you know? This is not properly installed. This is wrong. They don't like it. It's good for the city to have a facility committee.

It's good for the city to have a third or fourth committee. I'm wondering how they know that things are done properly. I know where they got the numbers from. Because their answers are on their side. It's good to see it as their voice. I can't talk to others. But I know that Rayathan's career was under construction. Okay. If they are in the committee at the right time, they should be like that.

They should have some knowledge. Yes.

There are many opinions that brick veneer has not been installed properly. It can be removed and installed. But it is very expensive. Do you know? It's okay. But... Do you know about the construction?

The city examined it. The project examined it. The project manager of Udamey examined it. That is, it was commissioned. For example, it went through a lot of ups and downs. So, I am surprised that there are so many important things that are considered to have been installed incorrectly. But one thing is for sure. I have seen things like Themanam. That is, the wedding was commissioned in 2021, so five years. Right? Things are not going well. I understood. But is it the work of not installing properly? Yes, yes, that's a big deal. Minunu, that's 125 grand. That's a big deal.

Now... We did Melkure before, didn't we? That's part of it. Okay, we have allowed others to examine the land around us. Anyway, I don't know what is like. What are the next steps or actions in this report? Oh! We are going to do it together. Not us. Did they expect you to make a budget for the city or accept some of it?

No. I think it is a method adopted by them as a form of interpretation. I don't think we should expect the city to do anything related to this. Still, I like it. Especially the fruits in poor condition. At that time, we did what I said and we walked. He showed me and, for example, he showed me that he had not set up a blind date for me. I am happy that he showed me what he showed me outside. If you don't have a way, you can... This is one of the things I don't know.

So, I will be most interested in Chris' opinion on this matter. Finally, he is right. He is the one who has his eyes on the blind date. It's the same when you pass through it. Chris, I think you've done a lot of projects in your own place. So I think it's a good thing to add it together. Mom! We know that you know about trench drainage and outside doors.

We know that water is still a problem. So we have to find out how to deal with it. Mom! Yes! Thank you for cleaning up the sprinkler room. Yes! You understood. Yes! Earn 500 rupees.

You know about the glass panel in the class, right? It has come before. Yes, but it was nice. Like I asked you the question, where did the estimate of $ 12,000 to improve it come from? Yes, it is helpful, but you know you like it.

Yes, I don't know.

I don't know. I know that we talked about it last time, right? Railing. Not in a glass, but in a railing. Yes, that's why. Yes.

One guy was hit in a gutter.

But I thought it was fixed later. I thought. Okay, it's fixed. But... Shubharsha's solution was to put a cap on it.

Yes. This group Shubharsha does that too. Yes. Mom.

But at that time we will tell you that since the railing is below it, don't put your hands there.

Um, yes, then. Do you know what I mean? It's like a railing that goes on and on. Your hands should go below the railing. But we don't have to tell you not to put a cap on it. Yes. Mom, yes. Okay.

Umm, I don't want it anymore. No, but I think this is the best. As a city, I think this is a very good thing. Because we have a lot of old facilities. You always hear that the upper floors of schools are full of rice. So I think it's good to have a good idea about the problems of each building. Yes. Yes. Okay. Thank you.

I don't know anything else for us in the director's report, Katrina.

I think that's what I wanted to highlight. Okay, very good.

After the meeting that was posted, is there anything else that the committee didn't expect within 48 hours?

One of the things I wanted to discuss when I released it today was the Sharakala town meeting that took place on October 19th. At that time, we all expected to participate in it, just like the board members expected, and the kitchen also expected to participate in it. So, it's October 19th, Monday. Do we know if there are any fish related to the library? I didn't look at it, because I threw it out again today. And I didn't do it, I didn't see anything special about the library.

Okay.

Christina, don't you know anything about the library? No, nothing at all. It's not that big. I think there are 16 shelves here. There's nothing to hide. Nothing at all. Yes. If there's nothing in the warrant, I don't really have to be there. Oh, okay. Okay.

Is it enough for everyone to plan to go there, or do you know anything that can be done? Send reminders outside our regular schedules. Yes, I think it would be very good to get a reminder. Yes, okay. I am outside the city, but... Um, I believe this should not be a meeting.

Because this is a general hearing. Okay, yes, yes. Okay. Um, any general input?

Please forgive me for that question. Yes, if we find ourselves there, if we are all there, we will not find ourselves there, right? We will participate in the town meeting. Okay, you are inside a library board there. Then they encourage the boards and committees to sit together. Then we should try to sit in front of the stage normally. Is the stage in front or is the stage in front? Is the stage in front or is the stage in front? Is the stage in front or is the stage in front? Then the stage is in front of the stage. I asked when the planning board should come. If the planning board is going to meet there, or if there is something there, they must have some agenda or something else. I understand you. Is it because of a presentation? No, the planning board didn't conduct a presentation. No, we actually did. Bob, or we may have an attorney. Because it's a town meeting and we've never done an agenda. I think. Okay, I intend. I can go to Clark's office.

Yes, the email that's quick. Not for you.

All books and comedies seem to waste time. But for every book, a meeting is an agenda post. If done... I think they will remind us.

Yes, but we can double-check. If a library issue is discussed or discussed in a meeting, it will be different.

Good. The problem is that his name will never be correct.

Yes, because I haven't added my name there. So you... One book. Shady. Um Kollam. So, there's no one from the public. Is our next meeting for the Policy Subcommittee a date for that? No. Okay. Um the Friends of the Grafton Public Library, on the 13th of October, Saturday, 7 am, 30 minutes away from Zoom. Our next meeting for the Um Library Trusts is on the 27th of October, Saturday, 7 am. Um is right here.

Next week, we will have a meeting for the government for Halloween or something, right? Yes.

Then, we will expect an announcement from me and Rachel about it. Okay. Okay. Do I have a right to change the OOM?

Yes, I did. Okay.

Thank you all.
