in cheek but like put up some my ride at like some of the cars that are parking downtown are people like me who sometimes drive downtown to go shopping when I could be taking advantage of our great free, you know, door-to-door transit program. So, you know, as much as we can be promoting that, hopefully we can be easing some of this where it's not creating a lot of some of the tension that Jay was just talking about if we're opening up more spaces still, you know, people who are coming in from out of town and need to be driving for whatever reason. So just if there's ways to build in promotion of that but making sure that everybody far and wide in the community knows how to take advantage of that great new service.  This is happening late in the season. So it might not have felt worth figuring out some way to, you know, truck inventory in and out and build a structure and all of that. And just curious if you're hearing from people or would anticipate, you know, more demand for this, knowing that there's more time to plan for it or are you thinking it's, you know, from what you're hearing from businesses and like those same challenges that are gonna be there. So we would, we're not anticipating a run on applications for this as far as you can tell at this moment. We're not hearing that, but, you know, it's early yet. So we could certainly talk to Dan Groberg and have him put feelers out. I think the biggest hurdle that we heard from businesses last summer and I suspect it would be the same was they felt that there would be a need to have a staff person outside with the inventory. And they couldn't really afford to have two, you know, two people on one in and one out if they can figure out a way to deal with that. And I, you know, and I know to some extent people put merchandise out on sidewalks and it's not staffed. So, but maybe that's different than having it all the way across the sidewalk into a parking space. So, you know, it might be possible that, you know, I could, I don't know, we'd have to, we'd have to look at some of the options. I mean, one hand someone could maybe expand their sidewalk space and people could walk around through the parking spots, but then we have to make sure that they're properly re-empt. I did, I did observe last summer, you know, once this took flight, I saw some temporary ramps that were used in a few different places. I think I shared them with Donna and, you know, we might be able to figure out how that could work. We haven't heard much, you know, about it yet. Okay. I mean, I just, part of why I'm asking is that it does, you know, it kind of continues the existing ones, but then puts the burden on you all to be making a case-by-case call. And if it becomes more complicated, like is that, is there more guidance or is there a cap or like more, anything more explicit we would want to put in so that it doesn't become like you're having to pick in some way that might feel arbitrary to businesses? I don't think it's any different than it was last summer. And we'll see, you know, my, you know, it's your policy, my view would be, we want to make this as open and as flexible as possible for people. This is still a business crisis period. And, you know, I do understand that there is sometimes other business concern about parking, loss of parking spaces. You know, last summer was brand new, but I would, you know, just looking at this right now, there certainly is no lack of parking downtown. I mean, it's steady, but you can find parking, the parking lots have extra spaces. It's not like it's full.  So, and, you know, I also think this is just, this is no science, this is my personal opinion, but if there is more seating for restaurants and things like that, then those are people that may also then be shopping in other shops if they've come downtown to do those things. Is there enough? Donna. Sometimes you need to add the last name. Maybe I'll have you call me bait from now on. Yeah, there you go. Sorry. So, I've had a question about staffing. I feel the dates are important because it gives staff a schedule. It gives businesses a schedule. The weather is the weather. And it's always gonna be fluky, but I think if we make it too flexible, we're back to doing what we did with the winter ban when we're trying to make all these last minute decisions. And I feel that so far these dates have worked pretty well and the weather has cooperated. And some people have chosen to stop using their parklet or earlier than the date set because it's cold.  He has no indoor seating. So I feel it's important though that we think of our staff's time as well as the business staff needs also a schedule as to when they're gonna have more waitstaff, less waitstaff. And I do- Let me just answer that quickly. So from our perspective, as long as there is a date, it's not, you know, I wasn't necessarily saying we rig up something complicated. I'm just saying if the council wants to move the date till April 15 or April one or whatever, it's fine with us. Oh no, I've been around for all of this. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And the city council has talked about this date from the day when we opened this, longer, shorter, I mean, it's never been perfect. But also Bill, maybe I need to, I missed, I don't remember all the discussion, but was Langdon Street have to have the cars moved away from the sitting because the structure of the parklet was not so substantial? I just don't understand. No, no, that was Langdon Street. We need more space from cars than all the others. No, we were to, you may recall, the council was trying to create some kind, you know, see this as a potential to look what Langdon Street might be able to do and it didn't really play out that way. And so what happened was we, the city allowed the Langdon Street Tavern and we were going to allow Superlisters to do the same thing. In addition to the parking spaces in front of their business, they were actually allowed to use the street. They had a wider area. So in order to do that, we barricaded them off, but that required taking parking away on the other side of the street to get cars by. Yeah, we're not proposing that this year is my point. So they would- No, and what I said is if that proposal comes back, I would ask the council to approve that. I don't feel that that is within my authority to approve. Okay, but if we treat it the way normally it would be done, the street and across from the parking spaces would still be there. So that would help people who feel like they're losing all their parking, not lose as much parking as they did last year. That's- They would just have the two parking spaces like anybody else. Yes, that's what I would propose for Langdon Street this year. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Steven, go ahead. Yeah, can you hear me? Yes, I can. So one of the key things you need to actually agree to and define your enforcement protocol, and I want to point to a number of trouble areas. Rappelrauser wasn't using the sidewalk for seating, and yet they put the steel planters out there at the maximum distance with no warning or protection.  And I moved them against the wall several times after five o'clock, and it was unclear. The council hadn't defined it, the police didn't know what to do. It's like, the purpose of this is not to create hazards for the walking public. Secondly, down in front of Jay Morgan's, there wasn't five feet of clearance. They put, you know, attended stands and all kinds of, there's lamp posts and fire hydrants down there. It got down to like three feet of passageway. And so that's a problem. That's also not downhomes, that's not downhomes parklet anymore. So it's not grandfathered in as far as your three-year permit. It's a different business with a different, you know, licensing requirement. Even the council voted to change that approval. But secondly, the size limitation and the after-hours use, the after-hours use, I raised it the question of the, I think the official ordinance, the permanent ordinance or the experimental ordinance had that after the business was closed, that the public got to use the public space. The public parking places is public right away. And yet I watched saw a business, try to say, this is private property. You can't sit here.  And I raised it with Bill and it was like, oh, the temporary ordinance doesn't address that issue. So the temporary ordinance does need to address that issue. You know, you don't go allowing taking a public property because, well, the business isn't using it. That's just not right. Secondly is the size of the three-penny. That's a huge deck. And it's in front of a neighboring business. I think that's the one that one of your council members was referring to. It wasn't moved over in front of the two-store front, so three-penny, it's over in front of the antique store where our former mayor has a booth. So that one, it took the only parking available for that business, which is crucial. And nobody seems to have any notice requirements or any warning or any obligation to move that one over, you know? But while we're talking about parking, I sure hope somebody's billing Jacobs for the spaces on Elm Street, where I have to walk out in the street to avoid the hazard he creates with his, you know, un-maintained roof, you know, freezing the entire sidewalk section. So these are all related issues, but you need to deal with the, after hours, you need to deal with the encroachment upon other businesses' essential parking and the policing of the, or enforcement of not maintaining the five feet of clearance and what happens after hours. Or I think the solution we finally arrived at with Rabbi Rouser was convincing Jackie, unlike her obstinate partner there, to put some barrels. So at least the barrels were visible and higher. And if you hit the barrel, it would move, you know, old whiskey barrels. The barrel wouldn't, it was rounded, it wasn't sharp, it wasn't as heavy, and it would move if you ran into it rather than break skin. So these are all issues. Those are public safety issues.  And it stays much longer in this kind of weather. And no place to wash your hands. You're blowing in the wind. So I just, I got to point out your hypocrisy on those matters. Thanks. Thank you, Stephen. And it is an interesting point about the use of the sidewalk. Bill, what is the, how does, what governs that? No, Rouser's issue, Ral Rouser did not use the Parkwood Ordinance. I'm trying to, I'd have to go back and look at the record. I think, I think they thought that that stuff was approved as part of their zoning permit, but I'm going to have to take a look at that because they wanted landscaping out there. So I mean, Stephen's right. They shouldn't be in the walkway. And it has, you know, we have to maintain that distance, but we, the five foot distance that we use is not a city requirement. It's a guideline and, you know, it's a requirement in this ordinance, but we don't actually have any real teeth to say other than ADA violation to say, you can't have something here. So we've talked about that, but we've never actually put in that regulation. So they were not, that wasn't related to the Parkwood thing. That was something that happened there, you know, with regard to Jay Morgan's, you know, their Parkwood was in the parking spaces. So the sidewalk space was the sidewalk space. Three penny did, was complicated. I think that's the one that Connor was talking about. Or excuse me, Jay, not Connor. And there were some real complications with that, you know, that those are angle parking. All the others are parallel parking. So two parking spaces with angle parking is a, you know, a different geometry. And it is also in that particular area, there is a sloped, the roadway slopes. So there were issues with where there, you know, their initial place where they wanted was going to block trainage, which would flood, you know. So DPW worked with them to find the optimal place to put it, and that's where it was. I do appreciate that it had impact on the neighboring business. I mean, one of the, one of the conundrums with this ordinance in all of these is that no, you know, businesses tend to think of the parking spot in front of their businesses theirs, really, they're all public parking spaces.  And so, and we've always sort of promoted, hey, that's not your parking space. And now we're kind of saying, well, you can have the couple in front of you for your parking spaces, at least for this summer. And so, you know, I think that's the reason we did this on a temporary basis. Before we institutionalized this in the long run, we probably wouldn't want to put more detail in. As Jay mentioned, you know, maybe a more stringent approval process and notice and all that. I mean, I think the question is, are we interested in having this be the quick process that we had, given that we're still in a pandemic versus are we, you know, are we looking at a more, maybe an, you know, instead of limiting us to six parking spaces, maybe it's 20 or whatever. And we go, you know, we haven't become a more formal process. And again, that's up to the council. Yeah, my hope with this is that we would increase the number of parklets. I think they're, I think it was Donna Bate who was saying, you know, that we want to see the vibrancy of people downtown. And I think having more parklets helps just raise the visibility that people are out and are taking in downtown. So just an answer to your question, Bill, I mean, my gut about this right now is that it's still okay to have this be sort of the expedited process. But it's, if it is sort of becoming clear that like, okay, no, we're going to need to deal with some things. You can't go on indefinitely. You know, in terms of the dates, I remember that debate about when the end date ought to be and remember what you were saying, Bill, about the compromise date of October 25th. So I don't feel like that needs to move necessarily. If anything, you know, my gut again for the sake of these restaurants that have really tough conditions right now, I would maybe want to extend it on the front end, if possible. And for that, I feel conflicting things, and which is to say that I mean, I judge, how like is the weather good enough for being outside by when are we playing ultimate in the spring? Like when can we go outside for ultimate? And that is pretty consistently like the last week in April. And so it is, you know, it is earlier than May 1st, not a ton earlier, but I agree that last snowstorm in April, I mean, that feels consistent. And what I think would be really bad is if we had a snowstorm and we needed to plow and there were these parklets out, that feels like a, so, and we know like the end of April can be pretty tumultuous. So I feel like it's probably good in terms of the dates as it is. Yeah, I might have further thoughts, but anyway, that's it for now, anyone else? Well, you've got to March 10 to think it over. If you want to change the dates, you can do it at second reading. That's right, because we can have a second reading for this. One possibility is I, you know, did hear Steven there about like the after hours use and wonder if it would be easy enough to just like grab the language from the original ordinance and put it in here just to clarify just the expectations around after hours use. I think that makes sense. And there's pretty good language already around that that we can, I don't anticipate that would be a encumbrance on. So it probably won't. I will point out that unlike, you know, the original parklets, the more permanent parklets were actually built, you know, with the seating built in for the most part and their, you know, permanent type structure. Some of the temporaries, you know, they just, they built a platform and put tables and things on them. So what was happening is people were binding up the chairs and things and tables at night, you know, locking them up.  And so therefore you couldn't really sit in them because they were secured. So, you know, I also think that we wanna be, you know, require people to leave their tables and chairs out in a way that someone could just steal them easily is probably not also. So I think that was also some of the conflict. Right, okay. No, that's a good point, which I think, you know, we certainly don't want to require that, that movable objects are just left out. So, all right, well, anyway, that's something that we can consider for next time I suppose. Dan, did you have a question or coming? Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, I guess, you know, when we think about the dates, it might be helpful if any of the businesses that have used these structures, these parklets in the past, if they have a thought about it, just simply because, you know, they may be fine with May 1st because it strikes me that, you know, even at May 1st, the only way you can sit outside as opposed to running around on the ultimate field in all that aerobic activity, which is easier to do in cold weather because you're sweating and you're as opposed to just sitting there and in colder weather is to see if any of these businesses want that earlier start or if they're planning on it or if that opportunity, because I mean, if we were to mess with the dates and I think Bill's sort of default provision from the old parklet is probably as good as any unless businesses said, no, no, we really want to get a jump on this. We'd like to get the parklet at least set up pre, you know, pre May 1st, but that may also involve heaters or they may just not be interested in it because they know the weather's not gonna really support it and people aren't gonna sit there till, you know, later in May. Same thing on the backside as well. I mean, it'd just be helpful to see what the businesses want before we start tinkering with the dates. I agree. And I think, you know, the biggest issue, you know, there's what the business needs are, but then I think the snow plow snow removal issue, I mean, I would think that certainly we'd have to have a provision that any, you know, we're not responsible for the damage in case a plow hits one of them and or the business would have to clear all the snow from around its parklet. I don't know where they're gonna put it if, you know, throw it into another snow bank. So, you know, I think we'd have to think about that. On the other hand, I've certainly been hearing from at least one business who wants to know when they can get theirs back out. I mean, it sounds like they're pretty anxious to do so. I will say we went over to Stowe today. My kids were skating at the outdoor skating rink and my wife and I went and there's a couple of restaurants at Pumsier and they all had outside seating today. And people were sitting at them. And they had those big heaters going. Wow, that's something. I wonder if we had allowed, if we didn't have an end date if people would have left them out. No, no, no. Interesting question.  But nonetheless, they were definitely outdoor seating everywhere. They're being used. It's interesting. All right. So where are we at here? We could, yeah, Jack, go ahead. So close the public hearing. Do you need a motion to set a new public hearing or just do it? Yes. And if you want to give us directions on any changes to prepare, that would be the time to do so. Connor, go ahead. Yeah. No, I just asked that we maybe meet with the Langdon Street Tavern owners before the next meeting to suss out that situation. Anyone else? Jack, go ahead. Yeah. And I would encourage contact with Montpelier live to just see what the level of interest is among business owners. I may be coming in with a proposed amendment regarding public or non-business parklets. Okay. Fair enough. And yeah, just thinking about how do we phrase guidance around after-hours use, I think could be useful if possible. Be great. All right. Donna, go ahead. Maybe if you'd discussed some bit about how much of a structure that parklet had, if indeed their seating is secure within the parklet and is available, then that could be used for public use, but then it would make a difference between parklets, which might lead to trouble. But something like positive pie is a very firm parklet versus Julio's has loose seats. They need to anchor them down at night. So the structure may make the difference. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. And that was, I mean, that was basically the difference between our regular ordinance and then the regular, you know, the ordinance we had required pretty substantial structures. And that was based on lots of things, including guidance from V-Trans. Last summer, ACCD and V-Trans relaxed those standards because of the pandemic and allowed basically just a platform with something around it and tables and chairs out, you know.  So one of the questions going forward is going to be what's the state gonna allow for construction standards? What are we gonna allow even if we want to continue? So I think there's, as we go to the future, we're gonna have a lot more questions, but I think for this summer, we're still under the same rules. So just to check any other members of the public want to weigh in on this, okay? So I'm gonna close the public hearing and is there a motion about setting second reading Oh, second. Sure, I'll make a motion for a second reading to be scheduled for our next regularly scheduled city council meeting, which I believe is March 10th. March 10th. Okay, well, we've got a motion and a second from Lauren and is there any further discussion? Okay, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Okay, and a post. Okay, so that passes and so we will take that up again on March 10th. Awesome. I think that is the end of our regular business for the evening.  So as long as Donna, you're okay with going first. I always feel- You're trying to be brief. I'm so disappointed in us. We failed the whole evening, folks. We've gotta stop talking so much. But I would think it'd be neat would go with Lauren's suggestion of getting people with parklets to pull in their advertising with my ride and we can help them do that. I think that's a great idea, Lauren. And I just wish all the people running for election on town meeting day, the best luck and particularly my fellow council members. I hope you're all here, March 10th meeting. I really salute all of you and wish you the best. Thank you. Connor.  But now I wanted to take a moment. I'm not very athletic, but I decided to throw on some cross country skis this weekend and go over by North Branch. And, you know, I like to talk to people as you're on the trail there. And I probably spoke to five different people who said, my God, like look at these trails that we're skiing on here. We're so fortunate to have a parks department that takes care of this. This is part of like the reason I moved to Montpelier. So at a time when we're all shut in and like 40% of us are like, you know, renters in Montpelier living in apartments that might not have a backyard. The parks department is always there for us. I was up at the old shelter with my little dog who's one of my only friends during the pandemic. And there it is, a big bundle of wood already chopped up, ready to throw in the fireplace. So I think, you know, times are hard, but the parks department makes it a little more bearable and deserves a lot of credit on this. So just wanted to take a moment and thank them. So thanks very much. Everybody go ahead and vote on Tuesday. Yeah, Jay. I'll echo Donna and Connor for sure on all those points. And I'll throw in some more kudos and thanks to our department of public works. It's been a rough, I don't know about full winter, but it's been a rough few weeks in terms of the amount of water that has made it from underground above ground. And I've had the unfortunate, not opportunity, but happenstance to come across two leaks right within about two blocks of my house over the last month or so. And I painfully email Donna Barlow Casey saying, hey, I hate to tell you this, but this is what I'm seeing. But in both cases, and I know it's happening all over the city, that she and the whole crew there have been incredibly responsive and hardworking and really doing their best to manage a number of these issues all at once and communicate well with the folks that are affected and the folks on the block in that neighborhood. And so I know it's been a pretty rough stretch, but I just wanted to thank them for all their hard work and dedication with trying to keep up with our aged infrastructure. Yeah, thank you. Dan. Sure, a couple of points. One is, I talked with Bill this week, but I think we should, as a council, consider at the end of the winter, maybe having a conversation with Public Works about what's been successful this winter and what's not been successful and talking about some of the goals. And because if we think about Public Works, they worked all year round, but winter is its most intense and it's always a struggle. If it's not blowing the streets, it's removing the snow banks. And my understanding is that the snow banks downtown are gonna be removed in the next couple of days on their cycle, but even those present a challenge because of the meters. And so I think we can always be looking to improve that as well. I think every winter, it always seems like this is the worst winter for potholes, but I know we've all received comments from people that this winter there have been some really, some doozies. And I think we need to just continue that conversation because techniques change and improve, materials change and improve. And I think it would be good to check in with them at the end of the season before we forget all these. I think as soon as winter's over, we're in a rush to put it out of our minds until the next winter, but it would be really good if in April, once they're no longer working 24 seven as they are, it seems in winter to have that conversation. Beyond that, I'm up for reelection this year and I certainly hope to be here on March 10th and I appreciate the support everyone has given to me, but in the off chance that I'm not, I wanna thank everyone for this opportunity. I've spent a lot of years in meetings as an attorney, at town meetings, in advising municipal governments, but this has been a fantastic experience and I couldn't ask to work with a better group of counselors and mayor and permanent staff that we really have an incredible city here with wonderful resources, with hardworking dedicated professionals and volunteers. And I can't imagine any community where there's a better confluence of both talent and knowledge and enthusiasm. So thank you. Thank you. Jack. I'll keep it short. I think I certainly remember back in the days when there were two members of the city council who were often referred to in debate as Sherman and Wasserman, because they have the same first name. I, like Dan and Lauren, I'm up for reelection on Tuesday. I hope that the three of us are all returned to our offices. I think I'm very pleased with the work of this council. I also do though want to thank everyone who has gone out and put their name on the ballot for any office in the city. It's a healthy thing when we have contested elections. And so good luck to everybody. Hope we have a nice weather for Tuesday and see you all later. Thank you. Lauren. Yeah, thanks. Wanted to note that there are a couple of public input opportunities coming up for both the process that we've had ongoing for the social and economic justice committee and the Montpelier police review committee. And they are holding, there's gonna be a number of sessions focused on some groups of residents such as LGBTQ plus, BIPOC, people experiencing financial stress, people with disabilities and young people are some of the first groups. So if anyone's, you know, identifies with any of those groups and is interested, please, you know, look out, we're gonna be putting information as far and wide as we can, looking to get as many perspectives on both policing and just equity issues for our city, you know, as part of our mission to be an inclusive, welcoming and equitable city. So look out for those opportunities and then there's gonna be also just broad public participation opportunities. And I've been really grateful to see more and more people are coming to the police review committee and sharing perspectives. It's been great to see a lot of engagement from the public in that process. So hopefully that keeps up as that work kind of ramps up. One other thing, I know, you know, we all got a note and we all see the road condition. I know the issue was raised about, you know, what are we doing and how challenging it's been. And we know that part of our budget, you know, we had to make hard decisions about priorities. So just, you know, reiterating, I know that we've talked about, you know, obviously looking for any opportunities for federal funding or state funding that might come through to ramp up infrastructure investments or if, you know, we need to get back on track with bonding or other opportunities in the future. Just, you know, I know that it's top of mind for all of us. There's one to reassure that we see it and, you know, having sustainable infrastructure that's safe and in great condition as a priority, I think of everyone here. And yeah, just wrap up, you know, again, hope to have people's votes so I can be back. But thank you all again. It's been, I love working with all of you, just the, you know, everyone's passion for making our community as wonderful as possible comes through both from mayor counselors and city staff. And I'm so grateful to have been here. Hope to be back. But if not, it's really just been wonderful and so appreciate it. Thanks. Yeah, thank you. So, you know, this being sort of in a sense, technically speaking the last council meeting of this session, so to speak, I do want to just like take the opportunity to reflect and say like I've been very thankful to work with each of you. And, you know, we don't know what's necessarily gonna happen on March 2nd. So I do want to also just make sure that I express, you know, Dan and Lauren and Jack, you know, very thankful to have worked with you over the past in case you are not here. I want to make sure to say that. And also just, you know, looking back on the past year or so, like I feel like we have done, you know, a lot of good work, you know, it's been a tough year. And I think it's been really helpful to have such a group that disagrees well, that is very thoughtful. And anyway, very, very thankful for all of you. And also just want to echo the gratefulness for city staff right now, and particularly DPW. I'm just thankful for all the work that they do. Taking on a lot, particularly this time of year. I had a question. I just wanted to verify something with John. So maybe this is a part of his update, but I'm curious about it. Is it too late to mail in your ballot at this point? So should people be, like what are people's options? Maybe this is jumping the gun a little bit. So I apologize, but it feels important. So go ahead, John, how can people either get their ballots in or should they show up on Tuesday? Well, I mean, literally speaking, it's never too late. You can mail the ballot whenever you want. It's just, you know, you want to be sure it gets there because it's not about the postmark. It's about when I get it in my little hands. So, you know, I would say if you drop something in the mail tomorrow, pretty good odds we'll get it in time. If it were my ballot, which reminds me, I need to vote. I would take it to the drop box behind City Hall because we clear that out multiple times a day. I'll be coming in over the weekend and clearing it out. And that's just a safer bet. You know, I have had a couple of people who really wanted to give it directly to me and, you know, you could call and we can see about, you know, making an appointment to meet you at the door. But, you know, I still really want to encourage people to, you know, to use that drop box. Right now, the turnout is surprisingly low. It's actually pretty low. I think it's not enough to say it's a generality. It's been an axiom that these mail-in elections bring the lower turnout elections up to the level of the highest. So we're completely breaking the laws of nature with such a low response, which is more consistent with our regular city meeting turnout, not even on the high side of that. So either that means it's just gonna be a low turnout election, or it means we're gonna get a lot of people on town meeting day. So I think folks should be aware of that. We still got COVID protocols in place. So that means, you know, distancing, that means only letting so many people in at a time. There are gonna be lines. And if a lot of people show up, then they could be time-consuming lines. So I just hope folks will bear that in mind. You know, one of the things that I was hearing from some folks was that they were waiting to vote so that they could gather more information and be able to incorporate, you know, new information as it came up. And I thought that was incredibly thoughtful and wise. Just as long as, you know, folks do get their ballots in in time, that's great. And would certainly encourage everybody to do their research on all of the candidates and all of the items for sure. So thank you again. And I think that was it for me, John. Is there anything else further you would like to say as to your turn? Nothing very interesting, so that's fine. Okay, Bill, go ahead. Just to follow up on that, as we did in November, the rest of city hall will be closed on Tuesday just because there's gonna be so many people coming in and out of the building. John has got a great system of getting people, one stair down, the other in the front, and the people in the back. But just out of safety's sake for our employees, we won't have the rest of our offices opened so people will come wandering in just because of the large humanity. There may be a couple of us there. We'll be working, but we'll be with locked doors or whatever. So just so you know that, otherwise I think we are not gonna do, in November we then close for two more days for cleaning and all that. And we realize that wasn't that necessary because really the clerk staff had done such a good job of managing access to the building. So assuming they're gonna do their usual bang up job, we will simply be closed on Tuesday for that purpose. Also allows some of our staff that don't live here to attend somehow, however their time meetings are being held. I don't know what they're doing that day, but whether it's virtual or not, I guess most of them are just voting. And like the mayor said, we really have three years, three separate years in municipal government, right? We have the fiscal year that goes July 1 to June 30 with the calendar year. And then there is sort of the council year and that really goes from town meeting to town meeting. That's the 12 months that a particular group is together. Sometimes they have a second, 12 months together or a third, but every year where the council is a unique experience with the dynamics of that, those seven people and our staff and everything else. So I certainly thank all of you, but certainly the three of you that are for election for serving. It's a thankless job. And you get to get complained at all the time and not really, and basically volunteer for that. And certainly appreciate anyone who runs for election, local government requires people to participate. And if people don't step up to run like you all did, then we don't have a local government. So we'll start again in March with the new year. Unlike any other, unlike other forms of government, right? Where someone gets elected and there's a period of time before they actually start, while they get up, we elect our legislators and everybody in governors in November and they don't start till January. So they have time for transition, trying to learn, it's, you get elected on Tuesday and you're the council member that night. Remember telling one council member years ago, they said, well, when do I take office? So let me put it this way. If you have a flood tonight, I'm calling you. So. And so, March 10, we'll be up and running and we'll start all of our cycle all over again with thinking about strategic planning and priority setting and organizational meetings and committee assignments and then going through with laying out those, finishing up the agenda items from this last year and then starting with the wishes and desires of the new group. So it's always exciting and thank you all for this. This year has been particularly exciting in not so many fun ways but you all have really made it work great and have been supportive of staff and of each other and of a very difficult situation. So we appreciate that very much. And also just want to congratulate Montpelier alum, city staff alum, Jesse Baker for being appointed city manager in South Burlington. So that woman is a rocket ship. Super exciting for her. That's right. It's very cool. All right. Well, I think that is the end of our business for this evening. So it's 10 o'clock. You may have an excellent evening, everyone. We'll see you later. Okay, night off. Good night. Thanks.


People arrive at a busy airport news kiosk at a rate that is uniformly distributed between 5 and 10 seconds. Most people buy only one paper which takes an average of 6 seconds but may be as little as 3 or as much as 9 seconds and 20% by 2 papers which takes between 6 and 12 seconds to buy. You want to model this using Simquik in Excel. First thing you need to do is draw a sketch. Here's a very simple process model. People enter the kiosk, they have to wait in line because there's usually somebody there ahead of them buying something, and then while they're waiting they need to decide they will buy one paper or two paper. They then go to the clerk, they either buy one paper which takes a relatively short amount of time, or they buy two papers which takes more time, and then once they get their paper they leave. Okay, I brought up an Excel workbook containing Simquik. I'm going to start by showing you what the model of that process looks like when you set it up in Simquik. Simquik on view model and it opens up, starts out with our simulation controls again where we put in the parameters that control the simulation and I'm going to leave that to you to figure out. We have an entrance and in this case it's named kiosk. I think I've mentioned that Simquik is very particular about how you name things. So be aware if you capitalize something, put an underline and one space, spell it differently it'll get you into trouble. So you should go through first of all and create the elements just making the names so that when you start to connect things you'll be able to see the correct names however you created them into dropdowns. Here in this kiosk we've got our arrival time and as you recall it was a uniform distribution between five and ten minutes and we're getting one person at a time. You could have groups come in two three or four but in our model we've got one person entering at a time and then the output from that entrance goes to a waiting line which is a buffer. You should almost always have a buffer between elements in your process. It just makes things work more smoothly it's kind of like grease. We have two workstations here in order to model the fact that it takes more time to buy two papers than to buy one paper you need two workstation elements in your SimQuik model. Here we just named them one paper with a uniform distribution between three and nine seconds and two papers with a uniform distribution between six and twelve. Remember if you click in the window and use the dropdown you can see the various types of distributions that you can use in your particular problem. We'll use the standard distributions and you just have to input the required parameters. We won't be using these custom distributions which you can create to get more elaborate models. You need to specify the output which element it goes to, how many objects come out of that particular workstation, and then the resources needed. This particular student forgot the resources in this particular situation. There has to be a clerk that mans these two workstations and that resource should be set up. I'll show you how to do that. In order to make the model work again we need the buffers and we created a waiting line. Once you enter you wait in line then you tell it the capacity for most cases is going to be unlimited but you may have a limited space in your waiting room and the initial number of objects can be set at zero or whatever you think may be there and you can actually put distributions in here in order to get some random values in those. Here it shows the output from the buffer is to check out which is the clerk that's going to ring up your purchase and one person at a time leaves the waiting line. This other buffer is the exit. When people finish buying they go into a buffer and you need to name it. The initial capacity is unlimited and nobody there to begin with and there's no output because that's the end of your model. We do have a decision point in this model. We're calling it checkout, could be whatever you want. You can see that the wedding line buffer goes to the checkout point and you make a decision either buy one paper and then 80% of the people are two papers 20% of the people and it shows you the destinations out of the decision point you go to the one paper workstation 80% of the time or the two papers workstation 20% of the time. So that's an overview of how you would set this up.

Thanks everyone. So yeah, here today to talk about the open-source village or rather the open-source village network because we're getting a lot of interest about this and yeah it's blowing up. Literally not figuratively thank God. Well figuratively not literally thank God. So I'm Alex, I'm based in Asia, I move around a lot. Previously we ran Space Scambit which is an open-source space program. We worked with NASA DARPA in the White House now working on the open-source village project. I really wish I actually bought those glasses instead of just taking a selfie in the shop. I'm going to have to 3D print a pair. So what I'm going to talk about because we don't have a lot of time I'm just going to focus on the what, the why, the technology and the business model of the open-source village program. So what is an open-source village? Well it's a network of real-world villages. First of all in China and we're looking at expanding around the world. And when I say villages I don't mean some platonic ideal, I don't mean some virtual reality village. I mean villages on the ground, you can walk around them, get your boots muddy. We're using open-source as much as possible and we see it as being a place where people can actually live but also a test bed for open and green tech. One of the reasons we're doing it is well we're using a lot of green tech. We're trying to be healthy for the environment and the world isn't doing a very good job at being healthy for the environment. The urban population is going to double between 2007 and 2050. So if we can start by making changes in villages maybe that can spread out to cities and beyond. Why China specifically? I said people in general aren't very good at looking after the environment. That goes more so for China. But also in China the government wants to fix this situation. Stuff gets done fast in China if you know the right people. And China makes all the hardware. So we'll be close to the supply chain which means we can fail early, fail often, get some new kit in and redo it again and again until it actually works. This is the map of the nodes of the villages. The first one we're doing will be by Anhui. We're working with a satellite company so it'll be space themed. So as if open and green wasn't enough now it's spacey as well. And we've got a couple near Xi'an and one in Guangxi that's interested as well. We're trying to hit as many of the UN sustainability development goals as we can because we're all about digital fabrication, open source, green, all of that stuff and that just ties in. And the Chinese government is really pushing these two. Why open? Because we all love open source. Everyone at the company just thinks it's the right thing to do. But also it makes sense from a business model point of view. If you create anything successful in China it's going to get copied. So locking down our IP from day one and trying to make money that way it wouldn't fly. By making it open it can be replicated. It'll hopefully become a standard. And we're the people who made that standard or at least contributed largely to it let's say. So we would be the experts if people want to roll this out they'd call us to do it. Oh some of the shiny tech we're going to be using. So as I said we're working with open tech but in version 1.0 of the village we can't do it 100% open source. Let's say you want an open source washing machine. There's some stuff out there right now. I'm not sure if it's good enough. We've got to balance practicality and philosophy. Philosophy of being open source, practicality. Would people, would non-geeks actually want to live there? And I have what I call the granny test. It's for example wiki house is an open source housing platform. My granny could happily live in one of those. She probably wouldn't live in an earth ship which is made of mud bricks or a hexa yurt which I think is really cool but it's a yurt. So we've got to deal with, build it for the muggles not for the wizards. We've got a big Trello board linked to on our website with dozens and dozens of open technologies we're considering. Anybody can view it and if you want to contribute let me know and I'll add you as a contributor. At the core of each village we have a fab lab. So like a hacker space or a maker space it has lots of machine tools like laser cutters, CNCs, 3D printers, all the tools for electronics you need as well. So the aim is to build the parts of the village in there and bootstrap out building layer by layer. We're looking at using wiki house for the architecture. We've got a scale model of part of it downstairs in the exhibition hall. It's all open source you can go online and download the CAD files and take them to a CNC shop, cut the wood and then a few people in a few days can actually put this thing together. And the instructions are just like IKEA. And just like IKEA we messed it up the first time. But hey we're learning from our mistakes. Better to make mistakes with a small model than the full-size thing. Another technology I really like came from POC 21 which was an open source sustainability camp in Paris a few years ago. It's called shower loop. So you can save up to 10 litres of water per shower because this takes the water that you're throwing down the drain, it filters it, it reheats it and pumps it back. We haven't built one of these yet. We're going to have to do a lot of testing. Some people were saying users might get Legionnaires disease if we don't filter the bacteria properly. That would be a bit of a bummer. POC 21 was the innovation camp. It was 12 open source hardware projects for energy housing, food, lots of stuff. They've done other stuff like Sunzilla which is a portable fold-out solar power array, open source of course. And we're going to be using a lot of these technologies maybe running a similar camp ourselves. These are just a few more. There are the ACA open source bee hives, Arduino open energy monitors, open desk furniture, open source ecology. They're building the global village construction set which is all the tools you need to build a village from scratch. So they're very modular. So this is their tractor. You can reconfigure it a little bit into a mini van or something like that. The difference between us and them is they're working on the technology development side. We're working on the deployment and real-world testing side and using other tech besides that. That is Sunzilla and AirPy is the Raspberry Pi open source air monitoring system. For implementation 1.0 is by necessity going to be a mishmash of closed and open. There is some stuff already on the ground like power supply systems, like some buildings that are not fully open source. So yeah, version 1.x, 1.1, 1.2 will be doing bug fixes. Version 2.0 will see what a major closed system is in the village and will replace it with an open system. We'll do the same for 3.0, 4.0 until we have a completely open village spec. In terms of the business model, we're looking for Linux for inspiration. I don't have to explain what Linux is here, I hope, or GNU slash Linux, I should be saying. But when we talk about Linux, we're not just talking about the kernel. Or usually we're not. Usually when people talk about Linux, we're talking about the whole distribution. The GNU tools, the bash shell, X windows, GNOME, all of the things that go on top. And Red Hat made over 2 billion revenue last year from selling distributions of Linux. All that software is free, but maintaining it on your own is a headache. So that's how they make money. Support and services. So we're looking at doing the same. Instead of a Linux kernel at the core, we have a fab lab. We have a bunch of things around it that make it a distribution in a way. Some other open tech is Farm Bot, which is CNC meets agriculture, and that's open source. Yeah, we're looking at integrating some Burning Man values where appropriate. Due to high demand from the Chinese side. I always thought that drugs and nudity would be a bit of a turn off, but those are the things they've been really pushing for. We've also got the VIP, the village improvement platform. So, once a year between all of the different villages in the network, we have a summit. We figure out what the problems are, what feedback they're giving us. Then we run a design jam to design solutions, a hackathon to build the solutions. Then we deploy them around the villages. So it's a bit like Tesla. Most cars get worse over time. Tesla pushes out software updates. So it's always improving. Ditto with the village improvement platform. Yep, financial sustainability from services and support, but also helping villages sell their exports in the wider market. That could be agriculture or handicrafts, tourism, both ecotourism and experiential tourism from people who want to learn more about this stuff. Leasing accommodation, corporate sponsorship. Let's say Microsoft wants to get more people using Azure Cloud. Hopefully, a Linux box in the Azure Cloud. They could work with us to sponsor some hackathons. And what we're calling, not what we're calling, what I'm calling desktop themes. So, as I said before, the first village, it has a space theme. So the space theme is an extra shell in the atom, I guess. So this is just a cosmetic thing. So if it's a cosmetic thing, I don't really care if the IP is closed or open. The core is what's important. And just like Linux can be used for so many things, even including bionic knees. I'd really like to see how the open source village core can be used for other purposes as well, like disaster relief or refugee shelters. Well, I don't know. We've had some interest from theme parks. So we'll see where that goes. You know, we want to be socially responsible and if we don't give back to Wiki House or shower loop or any of the other technologies, they're not going to do so well, which means we won't do so well. So giving back code and financial contributions makes so much sense. The next steps, we are working on a new website, partially because of the great firewall of China. You know, we can get to GitHub today. We can get to Trello today. Will that always be accessible? Who knows? And also, a lot of the stuff we have today is a lot more geek focused. Like I know we'll, well, most of us probably know how to use GitHub. The average real estate developer in China or village chief hasn't even heard of GitHub. So we need to make one unified platform that a Wiki plus a blog plus GitHub plus Trello plus a platform for villagers to register their interest. That's going to be quite a bit of work. We're also launching a couple of maker federations. We're taking this very slowly. We want to do it right. Because we're partnering with a satellite village, we're launching a United Federation of Spacemakers. I honestly don't know where that logo came from. First thing that came up on Google. Another federation for open village members. That'll be the villagers themselves plus people who want to contribute. As for getting involved, if you have a village or a project that wants to work with us on this as a place to deploy the open village core, you can go to that URL. There's a humongous list of questions on our Wiki. Yeah, if you can answer at least some of those and register your interest, we can talk more. We don't really have a way for contributors to sign up in any specific capacity yet. So if you have ideas on that, just get in touch via email or via Twitter. Yeah, that's our contact info and some credits for the images that we referenced because Creative Commons. And yeah, that's a lot for that. Thank you. It's a place where it's like almost everywhere, very difficult to buy an apartment. The community there, they organize a co-working place in Seoul and they're looking to build a village for, so to say, digital nomads, like they say, but whatever, you know, it could be an open source village. And just there are a few communities that are trying to do that in South Korea as well. I'd be very happy about that. I gave a talk a while ago in Hong Kong that was broadcast over Facebook Live or something and people from all over the world got in touch. And I really want to see how we could work with Korea or how we could work with some of the people from the Middle East who got in touch. Right now, we're focusing mostly on the concept in the core and building this up, but definitely. Anymore? Okay, well, thanks very much, everyone. If you want to see more of Wiki House, we've got a partial


Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video. Let's begin. All MBTI personality types have a host of pleasant traits and strengths, but they carry with them some weaknesses and negative traits too. And in these dark tendencies, there can be latent psychopathic urges that may emerge out of circumstance. Dr. Prakash Massand, a psychiatrist and founder of the Centers of Psychiatric Excellence, noted certain traits as commonly shared among people with psychopathic tendencies. These include social irresponsibility or violating the rights of others. They also include an inability to distinguish between right and wrong and showing a general disregard towards safety and responsibility. Before we begin, we want to remind you that the MBTI is a personality inventory designed to roughly identify a person's personality type, split into 16 categories. As such, it is a list of rough tendencies rather than strict classifications. Also, this is not made to attack anyone or any personality type who may display these signs or anyone diagnosed with psychopathy, but rather to understand them and bring more awareness to the topic. With that said, let's get started. Let's begin with the introvert spectrum of the MBTI. 1. ISTP As an ISTP, there are a lot of things that you enjoy that don't actively involve people. You may even find as if people get in the way of your goals. As such, these antisocial tendencies make ISTP likely candidates to have psychopathic tendencies. 2. INFJ As an INFJ, you are a natural in getting to the root of people's hearts, moving them with your words and mannerisms. While many INFJs come from a perspective of empathy and goodness towards others, more than a few can have harmful ideals and distorted intentions that are potent in influencing a group of people. 3. ISFJ ISFJs are one of the types who are very unlikely to be psychopaths. They are nurturing, loyal, and caring. The only time when a psychopathic tendency may emerge from an ISFJ is when you get too controlling or possessive over your partner, relying on manipulation to get your way. 4. ISFP Are you impulsive and desire freedom? You may not be the best planners or strategist, but you are physical thrill seekers that care little about risk. Whoa there! You are very easily able to try out the road less traveled and may even cause harm to others while you're at it. 5. INTJ Think of a villain at the top of a high-rise skyscraper, and all the floors below filled with goons and traps with the explicit perfect of disadvantaging you and making your way to the top. That villain, the INTJ. INTJs are more than likely to be schemers, plotters, and convincing overseers with their penchant for strategy and low incidence of emotions, a main in their function stack. Also, they have no problem letting others do the dirty work for them. Think minions, but they sure are cute though. 6. ISTJ ISTJs may not be the mafia boss, but they are the essential troublemakers that get the dirty work done with their ability to do routine yet crucial, mentally challenging tasks. Your cold and detached demeanor make you prone to have psychopathic tendencies, or at least be swayed to reveal it if an influential force persuades you to the dark side. 7. INFP It's hard to imagine an INFP as the stereotypical psychopath. They're just too kind-hearted and sensitive to take up the role of harming others. But if or when they do end up in the psychopath business, they'd probably do it for a cause that is for a common good, or for a value that's driven on justice or ideals.  8. INTP They are cold logisticians and great rationalists that have varying degrees of sociability depending on who you're talking to. You're open-minded and take into account all possibilities, and there's always an underlying logical reason for what you do. And since you're feelings rarely, if ever, top the stacks, you can at whim choose to uphold logic over empathy, which is to say promoting psychopathic tendencies to an extent in the process. Okay, okay, you've all been waiting. So without further ado, let's examine some extrovert personalities and their psychopathic tendencies. 9. ENTJ Natural planners and a commanding presence that can be felt in a crowd. An ENTJ's ambition and power-hungry tendencies allow you to naturally take up major roles, which is something you love. With this desire to lead, an unhealthy ENTJ can easily forego the rights of others in favor of the end result, getting things done their way selfishly for their goal. Uh-oh. 10. ENFP A free-spirited individual. People can sort of pinpoint what energy an ENFP exudes since your mannerisms are open gestures and indicative tone shifts. This can make it harder for ENFPs to possess psychopathic tendencies. As most of the dark energy you harbor is mostly feelings within yourself rather than something that is imposed on others. 11. ESFP Free-spirited and present-focused. An ESFP loves the thrill of action and can have little regard towards others if you don't find it fun or gratifying at the present moment. This self-servicing attitude can be rooted in a greedy desire for fun, which can justify selfish and potentially psychopathic actions. 12. ESTJ A cold businessman or bossy authority head that only thinks of driving revenue to the bottom line. They know how to capitalize on people's skills and have a penchant for bossing others to act. And for the most stereotypically fitting types, they do it in an almost dictatorial fashion with no regard for others. Very possible psychopaths. 13. ENFJ Charisma personified.  Not all ENFJs are psychopaths, however, but the inborn charisma and ability to sway a crowd is a powerful tool that can easily hide a sinister intention behind it. 14. ENTP Often detached people, seeing the world through the lens of logic and possibilities. You are fond of challenging the realities and ideas without much consideration for personal values, and more so for the fun of it. This makes the empathy threshold lower than most types, making it very possible to harbor psychopathic tendencies. 15. ESTP Reckless and impulsive with no regard for others. ESTPs are likely candidates to have psychopathic tendencies as well. You see things based on the results and the impact something has on others. Many authoritarian bosses fall under this category too. 16. ESFJ Warm and compassionate. The ESFJ on the surface may outwardly exhibit non-psychopathic traits. But just like the ENFJs, you have a charisma and charm about you that can draw in a crowd, only without the ability to sustain a long-term calculated plan. Thus, you're not the likeliest candidate to be psychopathic.  However, having traits that may lead to psychopathy does not mean you're sure to embark on that road. Through these MBTI classifications, you only see the multitude of characteristics and what they mean. They're in no way a predictor for a confirmed human behavior. So if you harbor traits regarded as psychopathic by the MBTI, please do not consider it prophesizing. It describes the trait, not who you are. But if you feel increasingly resonant with such traits, consulting a professional is always a good idea. Does your type have psychopathic tendencies?

So you see, as I'm getting up, I'm not coming all the way to the root, and I'm letting this sort of fade out. Hey there! Good morning, good evening, good afternoon, good whatever time it is, wherever you are. My name's Brian Hare, and I'm here on behalf of Freestyle On Education. Today I'm actually really excited about this class. It's gonna be a quicker one just because it's not a super complicated technique, but it's one that makes me really happy because for as long as I can remember that since I've been doing hair, I've always been obsessed with Sarah Jessica Parker's color, most specifically her color in relation to Sex in the City. You know, before we knew about Money Pieces, before we knew about Balayage, before we knew about Ombré, she was always rocking that kind of look. I decided I wanted to bring it to you guys. It's simple, it's cool, it's effective, and it's really really pretty. I've got a photo, actually three photos that I picked that I think are just so perfect because it shows the reality of this color. It is gonna be, you know, that lived-in Balayage kind of look, but that picture on the bottom right there is the one that makes me the happiest because that's where the focus of this is gonna be. That's all, I mean those two pictures on the right, that's the same outfit, that's the same day. So that's what Balayage is, can be, will be, and does look like. So the focus of this is really really simple. We're going to take out the front hairline and treat that completely different, but the whole back we're just going to apply highlights to it how it lays because this is an effect that's going to be when the hair is just out and down. It has some lightness going on, focusing on these ends, not so much in here because you've got whatever natural dimension they have, whether it's from the sun or previous color, we're just going to kind of leave that and draw all the attention and focus down through the ends. My weapon of choice today, all Mitchell, skylights, the great Balayage lightener, play base. I'm going with 40 volume because it's Balayage and that's the only volume I use. All right, we're going to work with that. Got my palette, got my Bali wrap from Sunlights, got my brushes, I'm going to section the hair off first. Taking off the hairline knot, you're not wanting a super tiny skinny section, but you're not also taking it all the way back from the high point to behind the ear like you do the four quadrants. And now I want you to actually look at all of this that's left over. Move it around, see where it lives, see where it lies, because we're going to highlight this. So I'm going to take this as a full vertical section all the way down to the hairline, which for here is right at the ear, and I'm going to paint the face side of it. So up front is going to be where this gets painted. Give myself a little elevation here. So you see, as I'm getting up, I'm not coming all the way to the root, and I'm letting this sort of fade out. But then as it comes down into the hair, I want a much stronger highlight. Just going to gently set that down and then move into my next highlight that's going to be a little bit further down than that one was. So now this will be two sections in the back where I want the highlights the lowest. You want to be careful not to have them start at the exact same place, because that's a pretty large swath of the hair to have a highlight starting at the same spot, and you don't want it to look dipped. So that last highlight started up here. So for this one, I'm going to bring it down much, much lower. And I see my other highlight started around here. So for this one, I'm going to bring it off to the opposite side. Now we're moving back into where these highlights are going to start getting a little bit higher up the head. So I've got this left, so we're going to divide that into two good sections. That's going to be my highest one, and then this is going to be that nice transition to start making it work into that. This is where I like to cover this, because my sections for around the face, I'm going to be working back. So I want those highlights to really pop when they're back so that when it's down, it creates that stronger vertical look. So start with the smaller one first. To look at this, I know I want all this being super highlighted coming back, but I want this to be the biggest. This is what makes Sarah Jessica Parker's hair, Sarah Jessica Parker's hair.  You know, you might look at that and go, oh my god, that's so much. How is that going to blend with anything? But if you look at the back, it's quite dark.  Then I'm just going to throw a piece of bolly wrap over that because I want to make sure that that lightener doesn't dry out because this is what you want to be the lightest. All right, so over here, we're just mirroring what we did on the other side and then just move up. There's going to be an extra section on this side because it's the stronger side of the part. We're still coming back. Super important money piece because this is the heavy side of the part. It's on the face. This is where you want to make sure you put all of your precision.
