For those of you here for your first time, the meeting is divided up into three sections. First is dedicated to the public hearings. There are two public hearings scheduled for today, so if you're interested in addressing the board on either of the public hearings, we ask you to fill out a card up front and file with our town clerk. The second portion, excuse me, is dedicated to the agenda. Agendas are on the table up front, so if you're interested in addressing the board on any of the items listed on the agenda for that, We ask you to fill out a card as well. And the third portion is the open portion when residents can come forward and address the board on any matter concerning town government or town services that is not on today's agenda. When you do come forward, please state your name and address and speak directly into the microphone. We ask you to keep your comments to three minutes. If you're watching us on our YouTube channel live on May 27th at 3 p.m., there's a link there. That will take you to today's agenda. You can send us a message and ask a question, state a comment or concern, and one of us will get back to you with that. If you're watching us at a future date and time, that link is still live. You can utilize that as well. And again, one of us will respond to you with an answer to your question, comment, or concern. So with that, we'll go into the public hearings.
