Community Preservation Committee - Regular Meeting

Okay, let's start the meeting. The time is 7 o'clock. Welcome everyone. Aamber Mongi is being welcomed. Aamber is our new administrative assistant. He will help us to close the bills, to manage the timetable, to prepare the minutes, and to act as our committee. So, we are happy to have them as a part of our team. They work in the Selectmen office. If you don't know them, get to know them. They are very good and helpful. They are ready to do anything to complete our jobs. So, thank you and welcome. If you want, you can introduce yourself. Oh, yes, sorry. Yes, I don't know if anyone knows who you are, so let's introduce ourselves.

John Berry. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. I'm Sandy Bark. I'm the chairperson of Concom. So, I'm the chairperson of CBC. Yes.

Lucas Remlard. John. Ken Halberger. We have emailed each other many times. But never. John Kelly. Then Justin Wood. I am the vice chair of the planning board. I am their representative here. I am calling John Kelly as Jack. That's right. Onnugil. If you are Kanugay, as he told me, sometimes I get a bit confused. I don't know. Your email is in your name, isn't it? No. My email is empty. Because there are some changes in it. So sometimes it is difficult. I have been using that email for about 20 years. Okay. Yes, I don't have a problem.

I don't even know what they are doing. Yes. Oh, no. They? So, I thought.

Tonight is the next day of the festival. And... Every year we have to... It is necessary to raise funds. That is, to take out the heavyweights in the committee. To move things forward, I suggest that John himself be the chairman of the committee. Let me say, I have been in this committee for a long time, and I think John is the best chairman of this committee. I think the only chairman you have is him. I think so, but that's not the case. I thought so. There have been many chairmen, but I think John is the best. If he is willing to do it again, we should use that opportunity. Then, I would like to introduce Paul as Vice Chair. It is not such a big deal. He agreed to do so. Yes, I agree with that. I am ready to continue as a Kajanji for one more year. Next year, I would like to introduce someone to take over that position. This year, I was thinking of becoming a Kajanji, and I was thinking of directing you to work with me. That's your decision. I don't mind if you continue for another year. I'll continue for another year. We'll get someone for the next year. Because I've been doing this for a long time. I don't have to continue. Okay. Then, as the committee clerk, Justin, are you ready to continue? Of course. Since we have staff, I don't have to do anything special. That's the best thing. That's the instruction. I follow that instruction. Okay. So, we got an instruction and a clue for that. Is there any discussion? Umm. If you don't have anything else to say, let me tell you that you can act as the Treasurer of the Unemployed Assistant. I know that you have been working with him for the past one or two years. I don't know. Still, this will be a good opportunity for you. It's better to work with him than to give him a quick answer. So, let's talk about this after the committee is over. I'll be right back. Okay.

So, I suggest that this change should be carried out in a more appropriate manner. That is, instead of you doing all the reports alone, it should be done in a very comfortable manner. So, with the rainwater.

Justin will do everything. It's not just Justin who should do it. Someone else can do it too. Yes. So, those who are interested in learning that process, those who are familiar with Excel can join us and we can work together. I don't know, I think you have hidden something in your Excel sheet. I am used to handling big data sets. Very much so, we can talk about this after the meeting. Okay. Is there anyone who votes for Baird? Yes. Is there anyone who opposes him? No one. The instruction says that Aigagandhi has passed. Okay. Now let's go to Kajanji's report. Okay. I need to fix my display. Let's see what it is. Aha! I have connected it. I need to press the button. The front part of the room. Aha! It should come any moment. It's like we arrived at the school in the evening. Some displays are not working.

This meeting will take a long time. Okay.

Where are we? More than one display. Find another display. Take that remote. That's it. I'm happy to use it. But it's not something that's easy.

My laptop!

But it's not even on. I can't find the display. I'm closing it. She locked herself up with the computer. So... Yes, she locked herself up. So, while we're trying to fix it, one thing that happened between the last meeting and this is that the financial year of 2026 is over. That is why we now have the solutions to the math problems. And then, as usual, they are all available to us. Where is my display? All this usually comes quickly. Yes, now it is not happening. Now it is completely off. Yes, those displays are lying around. Not even one of them is working. Does it need to be turned on somewhere in the remote? Do you need to use a big one? Because the problem is that these are not real TVs. These are just the monitors of the computer behind it. But we don't use computers because there is no zoom in it. I was supposed to act according to the rules. But now I don't see any lights on my phone. Okay. Since we don't talk to the public, everyone is saying, Oh, here it comes. Good, good, good. Okay, then... See, when I started saying something, it was right.

Okay, then if I can, let me make this bigger.

Let's see if this works. It doesn't get bigger. Okay, let's try one more time. On the bottom right. Yes, on the bottom right.

Make it small. The small slide on the bottom right.

I'm coming. Aha! Oh, here it comes. I can see it. Okay, here it comes. It got bigger. Okay, this is the year 2026. The first changes I'm going to say are from 2026. The blocks in this yellow line are the ones that have been turned upside down. You can see it now. These are the calculations we did in the spring of that year. So, the actual surcharge at the beginning was 7,11,000 dollars, instead of 7,60,000 dollars. The actual state that we know is 1,20,000 dollars. This year, the interest payment is also a large amount. We usually calculate $20,000, because that is our average. But this year, the actual interest was $94,000. That is, we have a reasonable increase of $74,000. Then, the administration charge on the 36th line was $14,000. We usually calculate $24,000. As a reserve. So we get $9,000 more. That means we got a total of $49,000 in surcharge. We have closeouts. There were three of them. One of them was... $56,000. It was from a church. One of the churches. Oh, Baptist Church. No, it's the universal you use. Oh, oh, Lyft, Lyft, and so on. No, Lyft had two Grands. The second one was like a second Grand. It wasn't used much. That $54,000 is what we got back. Now, it's not right to say that we got it back. In reality, it wasn't distributed. That money was transferred to the Undesignated Fund. So, from the closeouts, $84,000 and from the admin, $9,000 is added up to $2,16,500. And, the increase in these closeouts, so the under-signated fund of the year was $6,75,700. This is $2,16,000 more than what was shown in the last month's report. It goes to 2027. You can see it in the 20th line here. That's $6,75,000. So it goes that way. In October, we are only two grand ahead. That's the scoreboard of high school baseball. That's an event on the scoreboard. It is not the total amount of the scoreboard. It is $22,000. There is also a Rooney Park upgrade. That is also an event. But it will be $1,95,000. Here it is. The top line budget is from the reserve fund. There is $2,80,000 left. This time we are not touching the undersignated fund. It goes on like this. In October, we don't use any reserve funds. However, what is shaded in blue is the October meeting. To highlight what we should pay attention to, I have highlighted it in blue. That's why we don't take anything from the reserve. That's it. That's why we have some money left in these empty places and historical monuments. In the spring, we emptied the community housing reserve. Then, So by the end of the year, we have Rs. 1,43,000. We can afford it. So we can do anything that comes our way. I have a question to ask you. Why did we use the Open Space and Rec Fund as a high school scoreboard? Because it's only a small percentage of what's in the budget. Yes. Okay. I'll have to check the law to see if that monument is an open space and a recreation or just an open space. Do you know whether it is a tourist destination or a wonder? Are there two? I understand that there are two. If so, there are no special reasons. There is a lot of money everywhere. Yes, so it is not a problem. I am interested in using it from the open space. Yes, the reason. It could have been done. It can be done. This is a small amount, but if you need anything else, it will help you get more benefits. Yes, that's right. I thought we had a lot of benefits. Yes, we have a lot of benefits, but it means we use it from the credit card itself. This is only $22,000. Okay, I don't want to use around $200 for Ron Park from the credit card now, but I think it's true about the scoreboard. Yes, I could have done that, but... Okay, you can do it next year. That's the thing. It's not that big of a deal. Anyway, this is the report. There is a small dot at the bottom. It means that everything is calculated. Then the 33rd line. Yes, other income processes. Yes, we are getting a dollar. That's a rounding figure. That's right.

I want to make sure that every dollar we earn is correct. Most of the time, I don't use dollars and cents. The accountant does.

That's why sometimes there are differences in cents. It happens like this. This is just a dollar. Sometimes it will be more than that. Good. This usually happens for small things. The accountant does it for reasons that are hard to understand. So I decided not to spend more time on it. I just said, okay, $23. So, that's the report. Okay, do you have any questions or opinions? Yes. The warranty has been made according to this. So, we can do it. I am suggesting that the Pressure Report should be accepted. When we go to the Warrant Leagues, the Fund's matter is, if you want, we can change it whenever you want, because we have not voted in it so far. I am signing. I have received a suggestion and a signature to accept the Pressure Report. Is there any discussion? I don't think so. Those who approve, yes, those who oppose, the suggestion is passed unanimously. Take it to my cheat sheet. Yes, that's right. Did you all check the second draft of the CPC? Yes, I'm not calling this a spending policy. Do you think you're calling this a Funds of Last Resort? Yes, I think it's very respectful to hear this. But I think it's very clear. In the second draft, the only change that I made was that what Lucas said was correct. There should be a line that explains which part of the policy it is. So, I have included it below the part that we accept it. I also included the word exemption instead of amma, waiver. This is a little more simple. This is more appropriate for what we do as a board. I also created a system for how we will pay this amount. For example, the scoreboard is a great example of this. They are getting a lot of money from Godet. So, if we give them money, Godet doesn't have to wait for a year until the next 10K is given. They can start spending our money. So, we just need to understand where their money is coming from. We know how they will spend it. They can use this measure in policy and spend money wisely. I had spoken to J. Cummings, the superintendent. I had explained to him that at least a small amount of money should be invested in projects. Certainly, not a large amount. Even if it is less than a thousand dollars, they can find it. That's why there will be a shortage of a thousand dollars in the amount to be invested. I think we can move on to something else. Yes, I can talk about something else later. So, in order to prepare this Funds of Last Resort policy, I would like to approve the changes made by the Committee of the Church. I beg your pardon. I have a small question. Um, because I do a lot of research on carers. Um, have we done any research on this? I think the next step would be to send this to the town council. For them. Whether to use this or not, it's up to them. Okay. We can decide whether to investigate or not. But we... Yes.

What I'm asking is, when we use certain words, we have to be very careful. For example, saying everything makes us a special group. I don't know if that's a restriction in this matter. But...

Did we send the sunset policy? I don't think anyone has ever sent it. We are doing a lot of things in this. There is no opposition.

We need it. Yes, you are only doing it to make it clear. But if you write it down and make it clear, anyone can use it for any need.

As I said, I'm not the best person to make changes in this. But that's why I noticed it so quickly.

This law is an international law. At the same time, we are doing this with the help of outsiders. People who get benefits. That's what I think. I don't think we, the Tamil people, will be able to do it. But if we have said it in the press, we can ask the people who pay the money back. You said that this law allows this. So, I think it is a good idea to investigate with the town council. Mr. Chair, let me ask you one thing. Should I withdraw my resignation or should I consult the council before I vote? What should we do? I think we should accept this and then consult them. If they are not satisfied with this, we can change this. Or we can apply for a divorce. If they say this is right, our job is over. This is a policy. This is a new policy. I don't have any problem with it. That's why last time when we talked, we said that we can include a part of the reconstruction, because we always feel like changing this or adding something new. If we do, the town council should come back and add this or change the rules. We can do that. We can make that change, and then at the end, we can say that this is the first rule, and that there is a difference between the test and the rule. We can just say that this is the second rule. Yes, you can apply it to every rule. Then I haven't included any other place to agree on this.

Because we are voting, we can do it by accepting it. Yes. Yes.

Then again, in legal matters, I don't know if the lawyer will say that a large number of votes are required or that a large number of votes are required. I'm not sure if it's necessary to tell the truth.

I'm sorry, I'm not paying much attention. But, no, this is correct. Yes, it's better for you to do what others say now. Of course, they will say, I have used words that have been misused by the fund. That's all. Of course, they will say, but yes, but yes, and then yes. If the lawyers say that something is needed, we can add it later. Whether it's a place to commit or something else, it's right. Yes, and then yes. When we talk, do we have any other opportunities before we vote? Do we think it is right for people to spend the money in their hands? If the funding is in the grand scheme, it would be unnecessary for our fund to be spent at the end. Because sometimes there may be a lot of opportunities, so we have made it difficult. Does anyone think that if our money is spent at the end, it will be difficult to move forward? Or you can say that it is up to the committee. That is, how we should vote. When money is allowed, CPC money will be spent first. That will be part of the grant. So it will be clear to them and to us. Those who agree will understand it. That is why I am real. We can say that this is correct. We can say that this is correct. We can say that this is correct. We can say that this is correct. We can say that this is correct. We can say that this is correct.

Believe me, if an interpreter tests this, it will be difficult to read.

This will be the double of this. Okay, so I have a second suggestion. Justin, Ken, forgive me. Oh, Lucas. Lucas, I wrote Ken. I have a name. No, I wrote Kent, not Ken. You need a tag. A tag.

I want to be able to read my handwriting.

Um. We discussed that it can be reviewed by the city council. The next question is whether we need to submit a letter. Let them decide that. If they are satisfied with this, we will not have to do anything. If they are not satisfied, we can discuss it in the next session. Yes, let them tell us what they want in the next session. We don't have to ask them. Good. I agree with that.

Don't listen to what I say. Let them read it. Let them read it. Yes, they are the interpreters.

It's good to hear. Okay, okay.

All those who agree and all those who disagree think that there is no one.

This suggestion is accepted as a pass. Do we need to consult with the council about other things? We only have one option. One. Sunset policy. Sunset policy. They can consult about it. But it's only in the CPC section. This is what we need. So we don't have to go to town meetings again. This is a big thing and it's for our convenience. Sometimes we have to go to town meetings for a month. But it's better to extend it to two years. Because it can't be funded by the end of the year. I remember asking the city council if we could do it because of the CPI law. I'm not sure. I don't know. The reason was in the call. So I think she must have asked someone. If someone or you want to send them, that's fine. Okay. Yes. So, if we want to check the project requirements, do you want to read the warrant documents? They are right there, right in front of us. So, there are the warrant documents that Ken has prepared. The first important document is the Baseball Scoreboard. To check if the city will vote to allow 22,000 seats. You will have to shorten it. 517. John, I am asking you quickly. Did we actually vote for the projects? I don't remember doing that. Yes, I took the decision a little early. Please forgive me. This is the second part. We have two articles of VAR. They are both on the screen. The VAR is in plain language. The first one is on the baseball scoreboard. I think they are giving back all the questions. I had given you an update that we would have to spend less than a thousand dollars. At least for someone else, anything. Do you have anything to add? No. Scoreboard at the town meeting. I am suggesting that the committee is making a decision to pass the project. Pindangannu. Me and Pindangannu. Jakku Picha. Is there any other discussion? Is there any more discussion? If there is none, then all those who agree and all those who disagree are not present. The agreement is passed unanimously. Okay. For the Rony Bridge article, 1,95,495 dollars. For the work that needs to be done around the bridge and for the roads that need to be cleared. So I suggest that Rooney Bridge project should be approved at the town meeting.

Pindangannu!

Okay. Justin suggested it. Jan suggested it. Are there any more discussions? Those who agree, all of them. Those who disagree, none. The agreement is passed unanimously. Who is the second to come? If you want to be one of us, you have to be quick. Or you just have to be calm. I am just trying. That's it. Two weeks of articles. Then we will submit this.

Did they get this? Did you get it?

Send it to the Ambar. It's in the hands of the Ambar. That's why you have it. If they want to give...

Yes, I can give it to them.

William, I have told him that he will get it by tomorrow evening. So, we have to vote in the language of the warrants. So, let's go back to the language. Okay. I suggest that you accept the language of both the warrants. Pindangunnu. Me and Pindangunnu. You caught me. Next time, I will say one, two, three. Okay, I'll read one more to make sure. I've been using this since June, 2028. Both of them seem right. Yes, yes, right. I don't think these are the projects we should be worried about over time. Okay. I still support my opinion. It would be easier to do this from another fund. But this is not a big deal regarding 22. Okay. So, do you have a suggestion for accepting two-weekly articles? Yes, Jack gave the suggestion. Secondel Lucas came ahead of me. We need to make it clear. So, we need to see a replay. That's why Justin has a suggestion. Jack's suggestion. Jack, I'm the one who suggested it. Lucas nods. He nods. I didn't pay much attention to it. Is there a lot of discussion? I don't hear anything. Those who agree, all of them. Yes. Those who disagree. I don't hear anything. The suggestion is passed as a yes. Okay. Let's move forward. Let's see. Methodical updates. The poll is not here. In the previous meeting or before that, we got a good update about the work she did. This is a process that will take a long time for Abner's toy. So there are no specific updates about it. Yes, there was a question about one of them. Okay. What about 95 North Street? That's what we're going to discuss next. Oh, okay. Yes. Do you have any updates?

I spoke to Leah. All the restrictions have been lifted. So you can use it. They are trying to hold an event in October. She didn't have much information about it. As far as I heard, they are waiting to grow some plants.

One reason for them to postpone it is that they didn't want people to walk in some areas.

There were sunsets there. So,

Since you are here, in the last meeting, someone asked me about the entrance of the gymnasium. Was it Karingal Podi or something? I went through it earlier. It felt like a maze. The reason was that they had a desire to do something. If it was not right, they would not be able to do it. That is, it should be a way for everyone to enter. If it is certain, you can use powder or wax. It should not be lost. I don't remember what the 88 regulators said. But you can use it. It will depend on how full it is. Its leveling is also important. Therefore,

That's a good question. When I was accepting the bills, I made sure that everything was going well. Okay. I made sure that the most important things were in the right order before I released the funds. The reason is that everyone should be able to enter.

They agreed to it and I accepted their last bill one or two weeks ago.

Right? Yes, she was almost there. I forgot what I needed a few days ago. So, this is again one of the cases where you go out at a two-foot level. That's how you check if there is any problem. Who is the contractor doing it? Who is it? So, usually, this does not happen often. It can be a building inspector or they can ask how many people in the community are alive. But if there is no clear problem, this is not an ordinary matter. So we need to go to the building inspector and inquire. If we feel that something is wrong, it is better to go and check it directly. If it is very bad, the reason is very difficult. Using a two foot level to measure correctly. A walking path. To break a small stone. Yes, actually, to break a small stone. That's why. But again, I think it would be good to do this. I'll talk to Leo again.

I went there, walked around, and tried to find out if there was anything to see.

Something. Yes. Another question. In the last meeting, we didn't know whether the pavilion was done or not.

Do you know?

Let me say that I don't know. I don't know.

I... Because someone was there. What they said may be a different committee. They took their mother there. But they couldn't pay attention to the mother's matter. They couldn't look at the details of the project. So she said, I didn't see anything. I said, okay. It can't be seen properly on the street. No, it's there. I know that the place was destroyed one or two weeks ago.

I saw a few pictures he took.

But I didn't ask about Pavali. I don't know if it's there or not.

I know Paul went there because he lives nearby. Right. He really wants to go there.

But I have a plan to go there when I get another free week. Yes. Go and see that. I'll take it. Yes. I'll take some photos. Okay. Even if there's nothing else.

Pankidan, if you want, send a copy to Amber. Then Amber can send it to everyone.

Then you can post it on the website and others. Thank you. Because of that. Okay. Thank you. I think everyone is very happy with this project. Because of that. Yes. They are really happy that it can be used. Go and use it. Yes. Aha. Is that the answer to your question? Okay. Um, Grafton Housing Authority, Gallagher Rental Assistance. On September 1, two people applied for the first month's rent, which is good because it decreased from 4. We had more vacancies in the last two years. I waited for six years before I came to the board. We worked well during COVID and after that. Now it has affected us. But because of this program, no one has to cancel the first month's rent. There is $1,214 in the monthly account. We believe that after these requirements, there will be approximately $9,000. The Housing Authority's policy is to require a share of $20,000 to the program when the balance is $5,000. We do not want the program to be suspended until the end of the year. So it may happen at the end of the year. So, okay. So you will have a request for the May Town meeting and the Varshika Town meeting. Yes, in February. Yes, the reason is special. The housing authority is clearly saying that the balance will be 5K by March. We don't want to delay the request. It will be done in time. Yes, more. Yes. Okay, let's go home instead. Yes, I inquired about the emails that Ray sent me earlier. But after the last meeting, I realized that the email I intended to send was in my draft. I apologize to the committee. Oh! So I didn't send it quickly. Because I had indicated the date of the next meeting in it. So I didn't want to send it the same way. That's why I'll fix it and send it right this time. Okay. I also wanted to send her an email. But I didn't do it to say that it's the end of the year. If it has reached a certain point, we'd like to come and see you. That's what I meant to send. I had you in CC as well, but I couldn't send it again. I understand that. I've never done that before. That's not right. and Congregational Church. I don't know if I said this in the last meeting. Yes, I spoke to Sue Howlin. She is the moderator of the church. She said that she is working as a new recruiter and that she hopes to start working in September. So, this is the latest information about it. If it starts in September, will it be completed before the bad weather? I don't know how long it will take for them to do it. I think it will take two or three months. My intention is that if they do it correctly, it will be completed. That is, sometimes snow falls before Halloween, right? um Are you the courier Ivis? No, I think it's me. You are Jack. When am I trying to talk to Skip? That's after the charter review. After I became your representative, he hasn't come at all. But from the last meeting with him. He's moving forward in this. Okay. Yes, he has decided to start. Yes, that's why. Blackstone Valley Bike Week and...

I saw Christian yesterday.

Yes.

He has some questions. He came by mail, didn't he? Yes. So, he came here and only gave us 900,000. Yes. Now, what is that bad news? There is no bad news.

No, this is the bad news. They didn't get the grant. Yes, they didn't get it. So, we will have to fund this 100%.

Yes, we talked a little about it. He was not clear about why he did not get the grant. He is researching about it. Yes, yes. The total cost of the project is 39,500. They got 3,500 from Blackstone National Corridor. He wants to start RFP, RFP. But he has a few questions for us. That is, he thinks that the time period is two months later. So the time period is until June 2027. 2027.

Oh, it was like that in the beginning.

Yes, I think this year is in July. Since things have to be completed to get a grant, it can be like that. So? They don't have to worry about completing their school year, but we still want to encourage them to complete it. Yes, so I think he was worried about June 2027. Yes, I think things have to be completed by the end.

Yes, if we are not worried about the grant, if this committee is operating normally, if the project is going on, we can take some time. Yes, that is my opinion. So, using funds is not an unchangeable law.

That's right. Yes, that's right. This is not an unchangeable law.

Yes, that's right. We have a two-year term. So, he has two years.

I don't want to tell him, but I think it's okay to tell him that it's okay even if it's a little late.

Even if it's two months late, he has to tell us or Rekha that he has to postpone this time. When the time comes to postpone it... Is that right? He will postpone it. Okay. The reason for this is that it was very difficult to end it because sometimes some projects were not so good. This law allows us to finish projects easily. Not to hinder the ongoing projects. Right. No. He is certain. Right. Yes. We know that he is certain to move forward.

How is he? I would like to know what the reporting needs are.

I have to see him. I think I have left him. He wanted to see me during the day. I said I would do it. So, we can do it on Wednesday, when he stays in the evening. He, that is, he comes from Quincy. Oh, yes.

Or, after work on Monday, let's see if he is here during the planning board meeting. Okay. It starts at night. He. He said he would come.

Then I asked if he could come to the meeting in September. What's that?

I don't know if he has to come to our meeting. Because it's going to be an afternoon meeting. So... Okay, he said he would come today. I don't think he should come today.

Because I wanted to investigate this first. So...

So, do we think he doesn't have to come to the CPC meeting? No. Okay, good. Let's investigate what doubts he has.

That was his main doubt, and the limitations of time and expenses. I think he needs a little help from our side. I was wondering which meeting this was about. Yes, I was wondering what the details of this were. Because it happened before I got here.

Has this been linked to anything else?

These things will be in the pocket and it was in that pocket.

RFP, RFP. He said he got something to start with. But I don't know if Fiona got it.

I don't know if he got it for sure.

Fiona and that person joined.

Blackstone Greenway made it very clear. I want to find out when it is.

I don't think there's a reason for him to be there.

It might have been in February.

When did Fiona leave? It was just before she left.

This was her last statement.

March 13th.

The last date for the appointment was in February. So it must have been in February. Yes.

So it would be good for him to describe it all.

So the appointment will be in January or February in the meeting pocket. That's what I told Colin, because she inspired us to make the pockets. It's a great help for me to do reporting. It's a great blessing, because it has everything. I don't have to steal anything. That's why everything is there.

Okay, I can do it. Let's give that packet to him. Yes, I can do it.

Okay. He can only look at it. That is, it is there.

It is somewhere there.

That's up to us. He just needs to look at it. I can connect with him. But if he wants to say...

I'll tell him in January.

I'll look at it in February. CPC, CPC. Yes, it will be there if the meeting packets are checked. Okay. In fact, our website has CBC's late town meeting grant proposals, Graft and Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, and Bicycle Education Advocacy and Outreach Program. So, the grants above 2026 are included in it. Since this is 2026, we will have to add new ones. But on the website... Oh, right. Right. We can do that. Yes. Is there anything else?

No. Everything was clear. Okay.

Yes.

Okay. He wants to start RFP. Yes. Okay. So, he wants to know about those two things. I'll contact him tomorrow. Let's see if he can make it next Wednesday. Okay.

Then that Providence Road property, that's you. Yes, I have two things to say about this. First, the Baseline Report should be called the Conservation Restriction and Baseline Report. There are two things there. Okay, then the current situation of this is that the Conservation Agency has not started it yet. I am sending a request to Sandhya regarding this matter. She will use it as a suggestion to remind Leo to do this.

Yes, I don't know if it is clear to Leo what's going on with your pregnancy. That's all. So, it's her responsibility.

So, we can re-examine it after this meeting. We haven't completed this in the last two years. The peculiarity of this purchase is that when CPC and CPC properties were purchased previously, there was a special warranty to pay funds for baseline reports and conservation restrictions. Aha! That's why Lee wasn't involved in it. Since this is a common thing, both came together. Okay, so this is now part of Lee. She has never had such an opportunity before. Yes, that's why. Okay, let's put it aside. Good. Okay. We are still searching for names. So... Are you asking about how we should talk about names?

In the olden days or in the modern days, we could set up a committee and decide on a name. Finally, we could set up a board, but where?

The board is behind the houses of the people. So, I don't know how. What I thought was, if we search for the names of the directions, we can place a board in the lobby of the town meeting in the middle of the day and place a box for people to write their directions. Let the people who participate in the town meeting give directions. I'm giving some directions. Aha!

Let's get some things out of the way. These are my directions.

Bob, the reason he's getting angry. Yes, no. One person. That's in October. He will do it.

Do you know, when people are named, they count it as a theme or a goal. Is this a historical thing? Or anything else? Do you know anything? Yes. You won't get it. Yes.

I first thought about schools. But I thought it would be a bad idea. I think they should be given the opportunity to act freely. My intention is that the instructions in the paper will be just a guide. We are not against this. Isn't it? That is, to one of them.

This is a wish to help us. I think it's a good wish. Before we go and see it in person, let's get some information. We've been focusing on this for a while now. That's about it. But I think we should go and see it in person. Yes, I know it's the most exciting time of the year. Because then the water is more powerful. You can also see views that are far away from the trees. Even through the trees, why is the Fairway Cemetery called the Fairway Cemetery? Fairview. Fairview. Because it is a beautiful view. Okay, in my opinion, that is the best view.

It is a land that is more than 40 acres. It is a beautiful cemetery that stands high around the hills. It is on top of a hill. In addition, there is a bridge around it.

That's why I keep thinking about which Bhaumaprakriya gave this shape. It is possible that it is a Dremelin.

Maybe it is a Dremelin.

Yes, that's it. That's what's special about it. What is the reason for this?

Dwarfs.

Dwarfs. Yes, it is possible.

No, that's the way it's shaped. I'm not getting into that, because it's a Sangeeranam.

But it's programmed in a special way.

That is, The soil and rocks on the left side are being washed away. The soil on the right side is being washed away. If you conduct a soil test, you will understand.

Yes, that's why the old cemeteries have good metal and gravel. Because the people of the day were poor. There were no rules for the people of the day.

Anyway, I think that the community will be very interested in that place. It is very good to go there during the winter. Because the water will be full and it will be very beautiful. Do we have this picture in our hands? I don't know if Evan has taken any pictures using his drone. It was needed for a poster. That would be a good thing. Especially if there are pictures of the other worlds to be added to the poster. That would be good. But my drone crashed. Okay. No. But I think Evan always plays with it. He has a habit. If he can't do that, I know that Aunty Jeffers has a habit too. I think he can do it this way. We can ask Aunty. I'm not saying. Yes. Yes. One day I can fix myself. We have a servant who sends photos in areas with high resolution. Okay.

Anyone can tell me a place to test it. Okay.

But then... That's different from the drone.

That is... Yes. Yes. Okay. Yes.

It would be good to add that along with that instruction. Aashayam. I'll make it clear. I gave that suggestion. I like it. But I don't have time for it. This is yours, Dustin. Does anyone have a big handkerchief? Oh, I have a clipboard. Really, a clipboard.

Do this electronically.

Yes, use the QR code and Google form.

You can be one of the elderly here, but do it on the phone.

That would be easy. Yes, yes. The bad thing about this is that there is no good internet access in town meetings. Never. There is no good facility there. I think they do it intentionally to prevent children from using the phone. I can't check my email at school. I can only send a message. Okay, so. But again, you know that, right? Yes, you can put a link on the website. Before the report of the Affordable Housing Trust, can I make a small report about their last meeting? About the Affordable Housing, yes, a small survey as well. I had spoken to Colin earlier today. He had something to tell me. They have decided to withdraw from the Item Agenda to update the Affordable Housing Trust. Because no one in this committee is now in the Affordable Housing Trust.

I am their admin.

You know that, right? Well, you can. I didn't get it back. But you know that, right?

I take part in their meetings. So, I can tell you what they discussed. Yes. Colin suggested to cancel it.

Because Jack's or someone else's responsibility is always to give updates about their meetings, right? That was just a suggestion. I agree with that. But I thought I could share it with you. Okay. For this, I'll give the updated I prepared. I'll answer any questions Ambar has. Next month, the Affordable Housing Trust will vote in favour of a Local Action Unit for 1727 Upton Road. We have provided them with 40 BIs for the city's number of residents. Next month, the last vote for RFB, 516, 95 High Point Drive, will take place. The Project Eligibility Letter was sent to the Select Board on 25 Worcester Street on 5 August. It started the 30-day review window. One person left. The most effective words I've ever seen. They took a large sharpie from the front page of the Community Advocate and wrote, No more development. They put it on the Select Board's desk. That's their line of work. When is the hearing?

I don't think there is a hearing in that process.

This is like an announcement. Hey, this is just the beginning. Or, this process is just beginning. This is the request they submitted to the EOHLC. So, they can submit a project eligibility letter to the EOHLC.

Usually, when there is an opinion meeting, you will see a place where you can go and receive opinions.

Where can we see the opinions? Is it anywhere on the town website? Which committee or which part?

This is not a planning board site plan.

Then what are we talking about? Is it about the property they want to build? Or is it about how it will be built? I don't think this will come under the planning board. No. Yes, yes. There was a render there. I don't know if it's the newest. But it seemed logical. I thought it was right. Then the parking. A building, 48 units. I think this is on the EOHLC site because this is not in the Affordable Housing Trust section of the graphing website. I saw 25 streets on the Affordable Housing website.

Yes, their achievements, experiences, or their performances. It has been listed on the project page. Yes.

Then is this on the Affordable Housing Trust website's opinion section? This is my opinion on going to the EOHLC. The EOHLC will hand over the opinion time and when it returns to town, if they have an eligibility letter, it will go to the ZBA office and there will be a general opinion time. Okay, so let's go back. What is the purpose of the opinions? What do people say about the opinions? Is it about the desire to build 48 units there or anything else?

I think I can give an opinion about what they have done. The opinions are accepted by EOHLC. I think this is an effort to improve.

This project has been going on for about three years, right? That's what they mean to say. That's why the purchase was signed a few years ago. Now, in the beginning of this incident, the agencies in Chumadhala are saying, Okay, we will let you know what your opinion is. Okay, this is the abbreviation for it. Elk Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities.

This used to be DHCD.

Okay, yes, yes. Many things in the local government are going through such procedures. Yes, I don't know about that.

The reason is that all this is happening in the local government. But if it is transferred to the local government, they will not be able to get the details. So they are investigating it on their own. Then you can go to the side of the Affordable Housing Trust. There is only one tab for 25 ancestors.

All the things that are included in it and the pictures are available. Okay. Now, when we go back to ZBA, there is a way to accept ZBA's general general opinions. People there can say anything about traffic or other issues. So, say, yes, we are evaluating what to do for the ZBA project. That would be a general statement. But, yes, or certainly, it would be like that. Okay. Okay, is there anything else to say about the Affordable Housing Trust? This is the report prepared by Brian Levin. It's all about expenses. Let me tell you the truth. I've read it many times. I can't fully understand the details. However, I am aware that this is a list of the major expenses incurred by the Affordable Housing Trust in recent years. Okay. I don't know if this is what you mean by the report sent by Amber. But for the reports that we have to submit to the state, for the community preservation needs, We'll give you the details. Yes. Okay.

The other thing is the CPI project. I don't know if you got it. Did anyone see it? I sent it.

I went to see them and talked to them. I call it a plastic or cardboard board. You know, it's like a national board. Oh, the one with the foam board? Yes. I don't know why. I showed them a picture of a banner in Harwich. There was a logo on it. I said it would be nice if there was a logo. There are some things like a bandstand that we need. I don't know what else it is. This is a coat on a board in a national style.

No, this is not just a banner. This is a heavy duty item.

4 feet by 8 feet.

This is not what I intended, but I thought I could tell you because this is the first time I got it. Right. That is, that's not it.

This is a project sign board.

No, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project.

I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project.

I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just wanted to let people know that we have funded this project. I just

Isn't it? That's what I said. It can be reused. I said that five boards are enough.

Like the boards that are meant to be sold, the ones that can be put in front of the project are the ones that can be put in front of us easily. For that, we don't have to rule anyone. We don't have to stab anyone. That's why I'll talk to them again. But I thought I'd let you know one thing. That's one thing. Even when I look at the things in this court, I think it's a little too much. Yes. Therefore, I would like to see a new Quet to be added to what we need in one or two more places. We need to look at other quotas. To tell you the truth, if we are looking at the YARB signs that are used by every citizen,

Or maybe it's a little too much, but it should be one that lasts for the entire year. Yes, I think those who build such boards can do it. Because they only build foam board signs, they have options to get foam boards that are a little thicker than earthen stands. Very small earthen stands are not right. We can buy something that is a little thicker.

Yes, this is like another project.

If it is not CPC, it is the same. Then again, if people have any wishes, that is, what to see, the reason I felt is that I am very bad at comparing things. Because I always go there. And when I am in Cape, there are a lot of pictures there. CPC pictures, different pictures, there are so many pictures in many cities. So that's for sure. We have to do it. In some way, to remind people to see it. to see what we are actually doing. So, I have a friend in Cape.

He is in Chadam. It is like a non-profit conservation. They also do a lot of things like this. I can ask what they use. Because I know that their wet weather is not like ours in our places. But there will be a difficult time there too. The last time they got more snow than we got. Yes, they closed it for a week. Okay, that's it. I think it's the wild dude at the end. We don't have any updates on that. So, is there anything else? That's it. Who's the wild dude? Ken, but nothing's happening there. Yes, that's right.

That's it. That's what we're waiting for.

What's going on? Do you know anything about this project? What's going on? All I know is what happened when I bought that dweeb from Touchstone Community School.

But that family has two different divisions.

Different divisions are not in the same opinion.

One group says that this is a good price. The other group says that it has a lot of value.

Then the railway goes close to it. So they think that it has a lot of value. Isn't it? So it was the result of that.

It is in a stable situation.

So, it is Upton who is going to buy most of this land. Our share in Grafton will be about $30,000 or $50,000 according to the first price. That's not a big deal. Ken, do you remember that? Is that right? It's not a big deal because Grafton has very little land. But if that's the case, everyone will get more. They are giving the lion's share. But it will be a package deal.

That's why we are waiting. That's why. That. Okay.

They are not in the same decision.

That's right. That's why. This. This is to make someone's family aware. They are not going to get it at a reasonable price. Anyway, in our time. That's why. To the next. Okay. Second. Read that. Thank you. This is correct.
