the third paragraph under the background is what really is resonating with me. I think that close attention to technical and engineering questions and all of that is really important. So my question is, would this committee be a reporting committee to the council or would it have full authority? I think in Chelsea and Framingham, it looks like the commission's report to the town council. Is that what you're suggesting or are you suggesting that the commission would have the full authority without involvement of the council at all? So I think that my recommendation is that you give it the authority that you want to give it. You may retain some authority, say changing the direction of a street, whatever it is you want to retain, but you've delegated some responsibility to the town manager already for certain smaller things, which is great. And that facilitates what requests for parking or things like that, and that works out pretty well. But then we've stumbled in other areas, like we continue to use Cushman, and I think that a body like this could grapple with that in a more interactive way than a formal council meeting would be able to. And I think it's 100% up to the council to decide, A, if you want to do this, B, what authority you want to give it, this group, and see if you don't want to. But I think if we don't, then we need to clarify the role of TACC, because I think that's where TACC is sort of struggling. They do all kinds of hard work, and they're sort of saying, who do we give our work to, and what do we do with this, and are they taking direction? And early on when the council was first created, there was some question about what the role of TACC was in this process, because it was created under the advisory to the select board and to the town manager at that time. So I think at the very least, we need to clarify that charge, but it's an opportunity to clarify the decision-making process for many of these things that sort of get jumbled up. Andy. Yeah, I made the proposal to talk about this, because I didn't think we were being asked to commit to adopt anything that was proposed, but I do think we need to recognize that the current system is not working well, close to broken. That there are a lot of times that things are referred to TSO, they either take a tremendous amount of TSO time, such as the parking issues around Kendrick Park, or the never good address, such as the sidewalks along North Pleasant Street, along the university, which has been referred to TSO in the last days of the last council and still hasn't been heard or discussed. So I really feel like we have a broken system, and what we need is a process to talk about what the options are to fix that broken system. And that doesn't mean that the council has to give up all of its authority necessarily, but we do need to do something in this way to at least start that process rolling. You know, it doesn't work great under the select board, and, you know, we tried, we used TAC as best we could, and I don't think that it's been any better under the council, if anything, it's been more difficult under the council, because I think that we've had so much on our plate, and they've taken on so many different kinds of issues. And I think that the analogy to the License Commission, which was a decision of the Charter Commission, is actually a good parallel, because the select board spent a tremendous amount of time on very difficult and unpleasant discussions. And I think we should be forever thankful that we don't have that responsibility and not have, I mean, to have the discussion for the fourth time about Panties, for example. I just think we should be thankful we don't have that. So I do think we should have a process to get underway and think about what's wrong with the current system, and what are the options for fixing it. Pam, you only had a very brief question to start, so I am going to go back to you, and then on to Dorothy. My brief question is that I think it's, I appreciate that we develop some policies and priorities for roads, sidewalks, parking upgrades in town. I want to ask the question if we need to take a vote tonight to direct it specifically at a charge for this commission, or can we send this back to the town manager to say, can you just give us a little bit more information here? What are some other opportunities for us to consider rather than all in one fell swoop, a new commission? As Andy said, a process is desperately needed, but I would like to hear some suggestions on different options. And I would be open to having a body that actually makes recommendations to the council. I can see so clearly that TAC is sort of, you know, master of none, you know, doesn't know who to answer to. Does it answer to you? Does it answer to DPW chief? Does it answer to TSO? And I think all of that really needs to be clarified, because I would like very much to have a group that whose responsibility it is to look at the town comprehensively and holistically look at safety areas, issues, upgrade requirements, and come forward with, you know, in essence an upgrade plan. And I would love to see that. So thank you. Dorothy? I certainly can see the appeal of a group of people who are looking at the overall picture in a disinterested professional way and giving us the benefit of their advice. But some issues are very political and that's us. We are elected by the people. We represent the people. And when it comes to something like a parking garage, I am not willing to give that away to a commission, no matter who's on it. And the people are used to expressing themselves to us through the town council, through mail, through meetings, through public comment. So I think this is an idea that can be discussed further. I like the phrase that Pam Rooney just used, make recommendations. But the question of exactly where the power resides at which times is an important one, and I think more work needs to be done. Thank you. Bellany? My understanding is that it's the idea is to vote to pass it on to a committee that is going to discuss these issues, who is, you know, what is the charge. And they're seen, they could be a very clear separation that the policy making is still with the council. But there are a lot of safety issues that we hear from residents and then we're, you know, it's not the town council's job to do that. It's more the town manager's job. And there's no one really, we're listening to it and then we pass it on, but we're not really doing anything with it. And so in terms of town safety or so many other issues that could be looked at by a committee that has the expertise. So I think this is where I would also love feedback from the tech, like what are some issues they see that they would like to take ownership on. And all of these discussions can happen in that committee that is going to have that discussion. And then we can decide, you know, what part would what we want to agree with or not. And the other thing is like, there's so much flexibility in who are they reporting to as well. So I think there's just so many pieces that can be discussed and fleshed out and that need to be fleshed out. But I like that we are having this conversation and this recommendation that there be a transportation, what is it, commission, transportation advisory commission, what is it, transportation, parking commission. Okay. Jennifer. Hold on one second. Anika, you haven't spoken yet. Yes. So my comments have been covered, majority by Andy and Jennifer and pretty much everyone who's spoken already. But with that, I did want to really, you know, acknowledge Tak and especially Tracy Zafran, who was pretty much an honorary member of TSO and great help. And I do agree that, you know, and in clarifying the charge and I do support annual additional responsibilities, but my eyes start to twitch sometimes when we say recommendation and just making sure recommendations and making sure that we're clear, you know, because we have seen we have, we have seen issues with recommendations and what are they and clearly defining them, you know, what are recommendations, what are directives. And, and then I, you know, also, you know, support engaging in intact and seeing if there are specifics and what what would they like to handle or see being most helpful because I do see that there are plenty of issues in time that we simply cannot get to and are not on the streets with the people and the way that I'm sure we would all love to be but just cannot. Jennifer. Yes. So I did have a question because it sounded like in your memo you would said that you would would we refer to GOL but you would come back with, you know, a more maybe, you know, a proposal based on some of the feedback you've got from our conversation. So maybe we should get that before we make the decision whether to pass it on to a committee. Yeah, I think the actual motion is that you instruct me to put something together and a little more thought. I didn't even know if you wanted to talk about this. It sounds like a lot of folks don't and some folks do. So that's why I need clarification. I don't want to put time and effort into a pretty detailed, engaged process with our, you know, the staff and with the Transportation Advisory Committee. If the council is just not interested in it, if you're like, no, we're sort of, we want to go a different path that that would be helpful for me to know. So yeah, well, I think we we do feel that we need some expertise and they're probably like again, the electrical poles and maybe a little more involved than that that we would be happy to have off our plate. But I at least for myself would not want something as removed from the council as the board of licensed commissioners that just and I'm more comfortable with a, you know, a commission board handle of experts that would report to the council. But yeah, so I just wanted to ask for that that we don't need to vote now to refer to a committee, but you'll come back with something. Thank you. Mandy, Joe. So I'm listening to the comments. I'm trying to figure out how we could modify this motion to sort of take in the comments. But what I've heard from counselors is we need a process. That process may or may not be appropriate to include TSO in because of potential time issues, but we need expertise. We appreciate the expertise of the tech, but that the council at this point is hesitant to delegate permanent changes to the public way to anyone but us, but we would probably love some advice and recommendations related to those permanent changes. So I think some sort of motion that asks the manager to come back with a process that sort of, you know, allows for that advising of the permanent changes, but also potentially changes our already existing policy regarding public ways to delegate even more to a certain body or something because we've delegated stuff to the Board of Licensed Commissioners within that policy and that maybe the manager can come back with that sort of actual draft in hand with specifics as to what would be delegated or what would just be what that body would advise the council on prior to the council acting. So Jennifer, go ahead. So I think one of the things that I've been thinking about is not creating another layer of where people go to a committee, they make the appeal and then that's a we're going to make a recommendation to the council and then there are all those people have to then come to the council and have the exact same conversation. That's why I was trying to place decision making authority with the committee so there isn't this two-step process. If there are things that you don't want to delegate, that's that's good but I just I'm trying to think from the public's point of view they mobilize their their their neighborhood to get something they go to the transportation or whatever the advisory committee then they say yes no whatever and then they again mobilize it just seems like a just looking for the efficiency of the decision making process that's why that's why I was thinking of it this way and maybe that's not something you want to do but that's how I was conceiving of it. I'm getting the sense that perhaps the council is not ready to vote on this that they might want to see a little more in-depth thought about what might happen or not happen what would get referred what would come back to the council so unless somebody wants to make the motion that's on the sheet or a modified motion I'm going to suggest that town manager come back with additional information. Pam. I was told once by the town manager that he really doesn't take any action unless it's been motioned and voted on so I just want to make sure that he's comfortable with us asking him to do something without an action and a vote. Well I was going to ask what do you want back in addition like what would be more specific about when you said more detail that doesn't help me a lot. Let me build up on where I think Mandy Jo and several other people have gone and that is are we delegating everything are we asking for delegating some things but asking for recommendations on others and I think that's where the crux of this is that's. And I would say since you've found those. Can we go in order?  And since you've found other towns we might have some glimmer that they've delegated everything they've taken delegated pieces just some examples something more concrete than other towns do something. Let me go back to the people with the raised hands Michelle. From my perspective Paul provided to us in pretty good detail the proposal that he's making and the reason he's making it and what I'm hearing is that he's looking to us to come up with some ideas about a process and about how we might view what could or could not be or should or should not be delegated. I'm sort of taking I think what Dorothy said about certain aspects of this being political picking up on maybe Jennifer talking about the parking and so I'm wondering if this is a discussion that the council needs to have. I can't imagine what Paul could bring back to us that would move this along. I think he's given us what we need to put it into a committee and to have a discussion happen and then have that be brought back to the council with some options about how we might pursue it or not. Yeah I'm wondering if it's better to send this proposal to the town services and outreach committee because we are the one that deals a lot with these issues and we drop on the expertise of the transportation advisory committee often and it has crossed my mind you know like when the lack of communication with them or like it's breaking down or it's there's no formal process here so it's often crossed my mind that we really value the transportation advisory committee and we deal with these issues. So to me it makes sense that if the TAC could provide their input and then Paul could provide a little more clarity in terms of at least with some of us that these are policy issues and these are the more executive sort of issues that the TAC could take on and or maybe there might be some policy issues not like political ones but some other ones that so just getting a little more clarity around what are the the just the division between these different types of requests we're getting from the residents and I think the TSA would be a good committee to tackle this. Paul you had your hand up and took it down. Yes I'll take it down again. So I think that that's I think the council needs an actual concrete proposal to refer and to respond to and I think that's one of the things that Athena's really sort of emphasized and that lead up to this is that you can't just say it would be not very efficient to give it to a committee and say think about this because I think it's much more reasonable for a committee to have a proposal that you can tear apart and say not this but that um so I think that that's what that's what the recommendation is and in that case we would not act on this but you would come back with something if you want me to yeah that's that's what this motion is right. Mandy Jo you uh Jennifer I'm sorry yeah I would think we'd want something I can't I don't think this should actually be referred I think we need something more concrete including I think your vision of who would be on this commission thank you. So in other words you really would like to see more of a charge attached to this before a referral is made. Mandy Jo yeah I think part of the concern with maybe the motion here is that we would tell Paul do something and it automatically goes to GOL without ever seeing what that proposal is and there's a lot of concern as to what that proposal is and whether we even think it's sufficient enough to talk about potentially adopting or modifying. You know one thing I struggle with in trying to revise this but maybe the first part is just you know stopping at transportation and parking commission period like with a date or something and not anything else is you know it from this conversation it sounds like there's certain things that we are really hesitant to hand off delegation for but then I can think of things that I wouldn't know how to modify our policy that we already have regarding control in the public way to hand it to a transportation commission you know but I could see speed bumps being something that maybe even though they're permanent changes to the public way that the council would be willing to delegate um you know or additional stop signs I think we've delegated some of those things but I'm not sure the policy might not be clear and so looking at the policy where we've already made some decisions maybe tightening those decisions up and turning that into not just a charge for the commission but also a modification of the policy that you know we come to next to potentially modify tonight um could be worth then then we'd have something to talk about here as to whether it's worth referring but I'm I'm not sure I'm willing to pass a motion that says oh and well it automatically goes just to go well to talk about so Mandy Joe um in looking at this it seems to me that we want something where the town manager develop a draft charge for such a for a transportation and parking commission and submit it to the town council or referral to and we can just submit it to the town council period do we want to give a date so I would also include proposed changes to the town council policy regarding control and regulation of the public way because they would go hand in hand um okay so I'd like to see his proposals proposed changes to that policy but okay um all right do you want to try a motion Mandy Joe sure I can try one I think I got it um if it was just as you said Lynn Mandy do you want to I can ask but I was going to ask Paul what date he could have something by so I don't pick a bad date it'll be after Labor Day okay the end of September so um uh I moved to request the town manager develop a draft charge for a transportation and parking commission and propose changes to the town council policy regarding control and regulation of the public ways um and submit said proposal to the town council by September 30 2023 okay was that close enough Athena yeah um and okay but September yes September 30 Athena do you have a a different suggested motion no that's fine okay can somebody read the motion again before I look for a second the request the town manager develop a draft charge for transportation and parking commission and propose changes to the town council policy regarding control and regulation of the public ways and submit it to the town council by submit them to the town council by September 30 2023 okay is there a second second Shawnee okay um Michelle you have your hand up I'm gonna vote yes for this but I just wanted to say that it does seem like a lot of work for the town manager and I know that's what you requested is to put a charge together um but with so much sort of controversy already um that I'm hearing I just would have preferred that we had further discussion or that a committee had further discussion to provide you more feedback before you go ahead and develop a charge that then we rip apart in September so I will vote yes but I I just want to say that would have been my preference Shawnee um I think I'm good with the charge because he's you know kind of highlighting what the town council policy is and what that is so I'm okay with that but the additional changes because we haven't yet discussed that initial charge which will then between may end up changing and then and that would impact the changes to what Mandy just added so I'm wondering if you need to leave that out for now and just go with the charge and then based on what we end up deciding then having him come forward with the other changes to the policy I hear you uh Pat please use your mind Pat we can hear you thank you I wonder if it wouldn't be more reasonable to ask you to have it by October the end of October instead of September given everything that's happened or even November I think that's more than reasonable to ask from that one Jennifer I was going to say the same September okay there's also been a suggestion however that we really just focus on the proposed charge for a transportation parking commission and that come back to the council by October 31st and not add in the changes to the um public way policy that we we see if the we we see if we want to go with the charge before we mess with the policy yes Pam Rooney it may just simply be potential changes to policy just you know as you come through the policy what might likely need to be affected or what would be affected and likely need to be changed right rather than a cast in concrete yeah right potential changes okay yeah all right with that I do need a second so there was a second but with the friendly amendment I'll take to October 31 and potential changes and yes the potential changes not you don't need the exact language but I think it would be helpful to know exactly what on that policy that we've delegated would be continued you know would be added to the delegation it might be obvious by the charge but I don't know whether it would be okay next are there any further questions or comments Pam you have your hand up no all right I believe I'm at Dorothy Pam I think Shalini has to okay the October yeah change in the motion oh okay and also the use of the word potential yes all right so are we I would vote yes at this point Pam Rooney yes Kathy Shane yes Andy Steinberg hi Jennifer Todd yes Alicia Walker yes Shalini Belmiln yes Pat DeAngelo's all right Lynn Griesmer's and I may be Joe Hanna keys I and Anika Lopes I and Michelle Miller I 12 counselors in favor and one absent we have one other item that was pulled from the consent agenda and that is the actual proposed changes to the town council policy regarding control and regulation public way this was reviewed last time and this would be the second reading if you will although not to clear that the second meeting was required but Pam you pulled this and I believe you explained to me you confused it with the item we just dealt with okay however I'm going to now place the motion on the table to adopt the amendments to the town council policy regarding control and regulation public way as shown on pages 19 to 22 of the motion sheet effective immediately is there second second the angeles okay is there any other comment or question okay seeing none I'm going to move to Pam Rooney yes Kathy Shane yes Andy Steinberg hi Jennifer Todd yes Alicia Walker yes Shalini Belmiln yes Pat DeAngelo's hi I was absent Lynn Griesmer's I may be Joe hi Anika Lopes I Michelle Miller I and Dorothy Pam yes it's unanimous with one counselor absent we are done with the votes for the evening and we are going to go to a committee and liaison reports of CRC Mindy Joe I think I covered most of it today do any answering questions so there's there's really not we're almost almost ready to get to making a recommendation on rental registration so I'm hoping within the next month you'll guide everyone I'll see that excuse me elementary school building committee Kathy we are in the midst of design details which include things like how white should the white brick be next to the red brick and where the trim goes so it's fun but and and the designers were here in Amherst to walk the site to show us what the layout would be and also to bring materials and that will continue there'll be another in person in a couple weeks and then we go that design detail then will be the basis for another cost estimate it's sort of at a there's a stopping point and they're getting ready to go before the conservation committee and commission and the planning board so um what we we we're meeting once a month as the full committee and then these interim pieces the sustainability net zero committee we'll be meeting again but this the code that's changing the building code for everybody that some of the details still are not published yet so we're trying to figure out how much it increases the cost of the school building we know it's going to increase the cost of windows we probably need triple triple pain but it looks like we're okay otherwise but we can't meet until the guidelines come out so that the modelers can tell us this so it's an interesting time period right now thank you Andy finance committee finance committee has no report um we sort of after a budget process in the discussion that we had about compensation needed a little bit of time off so by the next meeting we will have an agenda and the meeting plan going forward for the next round of work assigned to us okay gel jennifer oh actually no it's not jennifer uh it is pat you must be jennifer this is a real simple um we have been we were going to work on the zoning changes uh that but we did not receive the material from kp law so we have postponed that to the 19th which is our next meeting we looked at bylaws that have been brought forward by the bylaw review committee way back when and we're just down the committee is just down to i think two bylaws that we're looking at the regulations regarding animals and i forget historical commission and the which is a very minor change we are waiting for more information from the town manager on the bylaws that have been put out to dei and other committees we're hoping to have that as soon as possible hopefully for enough time to get it in the packet for the meeting on the 19th thank you uh anika jones library building we have not met since the last meeting okay tso anika so whomever missed our last meeting really missed out uh we welcome back dorothy pan we uh had a an update on the we actually went through the rf5 for the holler bylaw which was long waited and exciting and then we had a conversation about sustainability with a director sustainability stefanie chicarello which was a really wonderful um presentation incredibly informative and that will be available on both on uh their website and also to us all to be able to share um so yeah it was a was a great meeting yeah i've added uh ahra and asked michelle to give us an update the plan is for us to publish our report on august 17th in advance of the august 21st meeting um in which the committee or as many members of the committee who are able to will be present um to share our recommendations in our report with the council uh liaison reports are there any liaison reports see none uh we've approved the minutes town managers report hall yeah so you will see some new faces in town hall we have a community fellow uh that's working at shadowing shon mangano ray thon who um went to amherst schools has gone to greenfield community colleges now at umass and looking for a career in municipal finance and this is a position that was funded by the state and requested that we host by the state so that's a good thing and thank you shon for taking that on uh we also have two work study students some of the counselors who've been in the office have met one of them who started this morning uh so we'll have two work study students in the town manager's office doing various things mostly working with the cpo's and also covering the front desk when we have vacations and things like that kudos to our recreation department for a terrific independence day over 5000 people were in attendance um you know it went really well we've learned a lot and have had a debrief with our team about how we can do better next year um the health director you know we have the the search is going on for that i was sending you a memo appointing um Dave Zomac as the temporary health director he has served in that function before um once and i think jen is here until the end of july so i'll give you i'll send that to you in short time uh police chief search uh we have our consultant uh we you'll be asked if you would like to participate in a one-on-one interview with our consultant we'll do that with a number of other people on committees and former members of committees as well um we've decided to hold on the public outreach until after labor day since we've gotten a little bit later start than we anticipated we don't i don't think that would be wise for us to be trying to do public outreach during august so that will put us back a little bit but we're still going to try and move forward on it we can get a lot of the interviews the one-on-one interviews done uh in advance of that um the um crest department as you noted has been part of the uh harvard's government performance lab and we've had our first meeting with them it's really exciting our team is very excited about being participating in it um i'm really proud of our team being admitted into it it's a pretty prestigious thing i put a list of the communities who have been selected for this cohort so i think we're going to learn a lot it's a lot of communities struggling with and trying to figure out alternative dispatch options which is what we're talking about this is not just alternative responders because the responders are not alternative it's the dispatch that's a alternative so we're going to be learning a lot in that process um the pulmonary village roundabout is taking is in really good shape it's got they've gone very quick and i think people who've driven through it have been really really like it if you haven't take a chance take a drive down there honestly we think um uh i think already mentioned the TSO committee so Stephanie Chickarello did a terrific job and we hope to with that presentation to snip it and sort of make publishize it so people can just watch that little segment they don't have to watch the entire TSO committee meeting and then two things from my neighbor here um downtown wi-fi uh Sean and his team have been working very hard to upgrade all the wi-fi and have much more robust secure wi-fi fixtures throughout the downtown area um it's 500 thousand square feet of coverage something like that and the other thing is that um is he's also replaced the i-net that throughout the town but most importantly we got a grant to extend the i-net which is our fiber network all the way up to Mount Lincoln in Pelham which is where our radio transformer is for public safety and it saves us thousands of dollars that we had to pay to Verizon on a regular ban measure wow do you accept me the number nice work roughly a thousand yeah so it's yeah so it's really exciting so good as to Sean for making all that happen see there's a reason for that there's a reason you came to the meeting tonight Dorothy you have your hand up um I I would just like a few more details about um what you mean when you say the crest is participating in a program at Harvard are they in at Harvard University right now or are they is it somebody from Harvard who comes to Amherst no so it's a great question I wasn't clear about that so the Kennedy School of Government has a unit called the government performance lab and this group takes on certain topics and they start to work with um various groups about whatever it is they're doing so in this one they're really looking at alternative responders alternative dispatchers and they've been working with a number of communities so it's more of the term of art is community of practice it's where other entities that are doing the same thing get together and they share stories they also give us one person who is our sort of guide in supporting us and so when we have questions they meet weekly with our team and they'll say our team doesn't go anywhere but it's part of a larger conversation and it's just kind of impressive that they really wanted our team to be part of that larger conversation because you're looking at like Harris County of Houston and Denver and Baltimore and Allegheny County and stuff so it's kind of cool. Sounds wonderful thank you. Mandy Jo. A question on the RFPs um it was used to be in your manager report and it's not any more design guideline RFP that was voted now I think for funding two years ago has it gone out and if so when is when are the proposals due? Design. We had you had had funding for design guideline uh a consultant for design guidelines I think in budgets for planning for two years ago I think in the JCPC budget and planning's been working on it but we haven't heard any updates as to when that RFP has gone out and when proposals would be due. I will check on that. Thank you. I don't have an update for you tonight. Okay. Shalini. I just wanted to again give kudos to the Crest for getting into the Kennedy School uh government because my recollection is we tried to do that before and we were not able to because it's really challenging to get into this cohort and and as you mentioned Paul looking at all the other cities that got into like DC and Portland and Sacramento and Amherst so that's like really cool that we will have this year-long participation in the cohorts and guidance and it's really amazing so thanks to all the staff and the police and Crest and the fire and everyone who's been working together. And dispatch has been crucial to that as well and they the Harvard wants to do they do their own press so we can't do any press on this until they put their own stamp on it so but we will be putting this Harvard. Yes. Pat yeah a little bit more about Crest please uh from what I understand from talking to people in the in the group um they are ready to go 24-7 and they are ready for 911 calls and so when you talk about dispatch and Crest and how is that working out and how will decisions be made on which 911 calls to make and why what's the timeline on this actually happening. Yeah so that's the crux of the matter um is one of the things that from going to any sessions but that Crest learned at least the director learned was that you don't start with too many calls you start with a small a relatively small sampling of calls that you really focus on and you get those right. There is it's a it's I think our responders are prepared and getting prepared for that. There are some union collective bargaining responsibilities that we have that we have to continue to meet um which we are doing and uh but we're we're expecting to move this forward as soon as we can um once we meet our union bargaining obligations um but in terms of the pardon me what's the impact on the on the on the dispatchers and um and how they're perceiving this new responsibility they're bringing on they're taking on um in terms of the calls we have a lot of different call types we you know the LEAP report identified a whole bunch of calls and I think you know we're in real life we're every weekend we we start saying ah that would have been a good Crest call this could have been a good call and even Crest itself is learning on a daily basis what works for them. I don't think they're looking at 24 stuff I'm not sure who is I mean the director certainly is not looking at 24-7 coverage for Crest at this point we don't have a budget for it but also um I think you can we can talk to him directly but you know any call after 10 p.m. very I don't think any program in the country it goes goes operates after 10 p.m. at night I think there I think one of them Denver is going to start this year by going 24-7 but no other programs in the country go that length but he can give us an update on that if you like. Michelle? I'm not sure if this is a question for Paul or the council in general so um we received a state of human rights report um it just occurred to me when someone else was speaking um from the Human Rights Commission and I don't know is there an action that we're supposed to take to acknowledge or adopt or do something that um lets the Human Rights Commission know that we've received the report and acknowledge it? It's not in the list of groups which by the way the Board of License Commissioners is in that group that is required annually to report to the council um so I didn't see any reason besides distributing it which was done for us to actually act in any way even to accept the report. There are five I think it's five reports that we are supposed to receive annually by virtual the charter and we tend to do that um around the time beginning of December when we also do the state of the town address. So just to follow up do they did they just do this they just do this on an annual basis uh what I've never seen one before this year. Yeah I can look I don't think there's a requirement for them to do it. I mean for instance the housing authority is required by the state to do one so that when they give up when they do ours they just handed us that report as their report so it's not duplicate effort but I don't know of one for Human Rights Commission. Okay well I just wanted to share that I really appreciated the report and that they brought it forward. Absolutely. Pat? I also appreciated the report and I feel like while there is no requirement it does seem that it would be valuable for the council to spend some time talking about the report directly and perhaps inviting the Human Rights Commission or some of the members to come forward and answer questions or share additional concerns with us. Okay let me put that as a future agenda item. Are there any other questions of Paul? Yes. I might not have an answer Paul but I'm interested I know the uh and I know the lottery for East Gables happened and I thought there was something like 900 applicants. How many do you know how many of those folks were 30 percent area meeting income or less? No I think I think it was a newspaper I just that's the first time I saw it as well so I can I can find out from Valley. That would be great I I did email Laura Baker but I haven't heard anything thank you. Okay. Your packet last time we met included the president's oh I'm sorry Pam President's report um and uh with regard to future agenda items uh I would like the council to guess the best way to do this is to say our August 7th meeting is listed as if needed okay and based on that I think it would be useful for the council to vote that we meet on August 7th and let me just mention that if we meet it will be totally virtually because we don't have a neither um neither of our count neither of our clerks the Athena or Angela can be here so the whole council would meet virtually and that way we don't have to deal with the electronic issues of being in this room.  I can start by asking what are the agenda items that that we need to fit into an extra meeting? The main agenda item that's coming up and there are others but none of them are as time sensitive is in fact the zoning um by law amendments and that is that is only if CRC I mean GL I'm sorry that's only if GL finishes its recommendation on clear consistent and actionable. Do we have the KP law? Okay but do we have the KP law have they reviewed it? Paul email that came today to the whole council. We just got the um we just got KP law's opinion back today. Thank you. It was just sent to you by Paul Backelman. It's not in the packet but it was sent to all counselors.  I'm waiting for unexpected items. Unanticipated okay uh okay Michelle. So you're asking us to vote to maybe have a meeting on August 7th? No but GL is telling us that they will be ready so. So are we having a meeting on August 7th? I would prefer that this be a vote of the council since it was listed as if needed. I have the right to call it but I also want to honor the fact that people are on vacation. It was listed as if needed okay. What what are the consequences in terms of the timing of that proposal if we do not meet? Min Jo you're the one that has worked out the timeline and so we because the planning board has completed its hearing and we will have a planning board report and CRC has completed its hearing and we will have a CRC report and GL will have met but it's really many joke correctly if I'm wrong on this it's really X number of days after the planning board concludes its hearing. No? So I can answer that but my hands up for another reason which I'll ask that question before I answer this one which is what's on the August 21st agenda such that it would be more useful to have an August 7th meeting so that not everything so that we don't go till 2 a.m. on August 21st like that can't be moved off of August 24th first that would that would be one question because there's other things coming up for August beyond just the zoning. To answer the zoning questions CRC closed its hearing June 26th was that our meeting? Um once CRC closes its hearing the council must vote within 90 days or CRC or slash the council because the CRC holds the council required hearing if the council does not vote within 90 days of the council's hearing closing which is CRC's hearing then the council slash CRC would have to hold another public hearing including all of the notice provisions before it could vote and act on the proposals that 90 day deadline is in mid-September there are the August 7th meeting is exactly four scheduled meetings before the deadline is reached for the council I always recommend to the president that the council start its first reading for scheduled meetings before it must vote because there is always two potential right to postpone options after you get to the second reading so you have to have two meetings before you run out of time but if counselors choose to use their right to postpone and then the further right to postpone you're not past that 90 day deadline that meeting would be August 7th to ensure that you don't get past that deadline can I ask my other questions or my other things about beyond what is already there as I stated for CRC chair um rental registration will probably have a recommendation to the council um in mid-August for the council to take up which is a huge item too and then street lights was postponed from two weeks ago because of the length of that meeting and so that needs taken up too so rental registration is going to have to go to go to GOL first though the referral was for us to send it back to the council I'd go recommendation to the council and then the council will need to decide whether it goes to GOL or it gets voted on or goes wherever else but it'll need a full discussion at the council based on our recommendation and has there been legal review yes okay so um and the AHRA is presenting first that's why I asked for what all is scheduled for the 21st so I've got AHRA you're telling me rental registration might be ready by then I don't know whether GOL will have rules of procedure or bylaws by then um and the other thing that you just mentioned was the street lights so that's what would be on the 21st we were also supposed to get a report of the library thank you okay so that's what's there so by moving street lights could go on the 7th AHRA is not ready by the 7th uh the bylaw the uh duplex triplex bylaw um would be on the 7th so the things that would move to the 7th that will be ready by the 7th are duplex triplex bylaw and street lights that's the way I see it because I can't imagine GOL will get done with rules of procedure and time to bring that forward too and the we already did finish the other bylaws right so uh just to clarify then with the sorry to know the duplex would be um a first reading the street light would be a referral or a vote it's actually a responding to so it was set for a potential vote it doesn't have any requirements for first and second reading because it's a policy but the council has not had a time a chance to yet talk about TSO's recommendation and there were a lot of comments so yeah so on the 7th we would do street lights we would do um duplex triplex zoning bylaws zoning amendments right and we could do the um um uh leftover leftover bylaws okay there we go that's what would be on the 7th the point of order yes was this potential vote considered and anticipated by you more than 40 less than 48 hours ago or more than 48 hours ago versus just taking a sense of the council just trying to get a sense of the count so it's not a formal vote no okay sounds like we have fine we'll have a meeting on the 7th 7th at 6 o'clock 6 30 will be totally virtual 6 30 totally virtual okay uh are there any other comments Lynn Paul so I just want to go back I did look at the on the human rights report so the town's bylaw requires the commission to shall annually prepare and submit to the town manager town council report on the state of human rights in Amherst that's that's they're responding to so I don't know whether I'll try to schedule that on the 7th or just later can I respond to that yes in the past with other reports we've just simply had a vote acknowledging receipt yeah right but if the council wants to speak with the human rights commission that's different one of the members has literally just moved out of out of state but might one of the co-chairs but might be willing to well okay okay so we're having a meeting on the 7th at 6 30 virtually seven people have indicated that they are available uh a few people indicated that they might be able to be available and three people indicated they are not available okay all right anything else topics not reasonably anticipated I would like to acknowledge two things and one is that today is Sean's anniversary and he's spending it with us thank you Sean the second is that that Kelly Miller is moving to Seattle and this is her last in-person meeting with us she'll be helping out but she's pursuing her PhD the University Washington and she's moving anything else if not I'm sorry yes go ahead I'm I don't really want to have a discussion at the sour tonight about it but I did want to bring this up and it was not anticipated because it really came out of last week's and then this week's public comment session I would like us to consider having GOL look at the rules procedure again about of public comment period there were a couple things that I think that we need them to talk about one is whether it is appropriate for somebody to ask to be recognized and then turn over their time to somebody else particularly somebody who has already spoken but it's really not necessary that's the only reason that it is done and I would like I don't want to have the discussion I would like to well to have that discussion and I certainly didn't want to have the discussion during public comment thick of course because it's not our role but I think we should talk about it the other thing was raised by Pat during the discussion in public comment and I think that we really might want to give some more feedback to the president about what the process ought to be and the policy ought to be for enforcing the time limit because it did create an awkwardness as was noted and I'm not going to get into the details so I just would really like to have the appropriate committee spend a little bit of time thinking about those issues on behalf of the council. Okay now one of the protections is having a consistent policy that is that is enforced consistently it's for our protection as a yeah. Okay are there any other comments or questions I have to look at my screen sorry if none the meeting is adjourned at 10 37. Good night everyone.


Welcome to the first episode of Digi Bro and Best Guy Ever. That's you. Dickin' Boardy Time, baby! Yeah, baby, yeah! Yeah, yeah! We're talking about Rick and Morty, everybody. Season 3. Season 3. You know, the Season 3 premiere came out on April 1st on Adult Swim. It was a big deal. Everybody was excited about it. And we're thinking about maybe talking more about the rest of Season 3. So here we are, starting things off with that episode. Rick and Morty is my favorite show ever. It's just re-watching that episode again just now. It's really hard to argue that that show isn't the most dense with high quality content show anywhere right now. I mean, that's what I love about it. It's so dense. Every single shot has so much going on. It's fantastic. I was a huge fan of the first season, watched it five times. Still haven't really re-watched Season 2. I intended to do that before 3 started. And 3 seemingly had started out of nowhere. But then it hasn't actually. It was just a weird April Fools thing.  I didn't get the chance to see it. And then every week I was like, Why am I not hearing about the new season of Rick and Morty? Sounds like you were out of it. You didn't tell. I thought I was just missing episodes and no one was telling me somehow. Nah, man. And I was really confused. So let me just talk about how great this was as an April Fools episode. So April Fools every year is terrible because everyone tricks you and says, Hey, I'm going to do this and then I'm not going to do it. And then you're disappointed. Am I the only one who loves April Fools? Yes. We were all complaining about it. But me and the rest of the PCP were all shitting on it. I love April Fools because people always... Well, it depends on who it is.   Well, that's what makes it good.   Well, that's fine.  And it was always exciting to see like what everybody was doing that day. And I historically have always made April Fools videos. But what you're describing is the good side of April Fools. But there is the downside where is people say like, Oh, Half-Life 3 is out. Wow, I'm so excited. Oh, it's not actually out.  But what, I mean, but this episode is exactly that.  That's awesome.  Everyone agrees it's fantastic too. Like on April Fools, get this like loop of the new episode that is so legitimately good and well crafted and has, even the episode itself has a ton of Mr. X as Rick and Morty episodes tend to do. Like this is exactly what an April Fools should be. We're getting more. We're not being cheated or lied to. We're just getting extra stuff. That's what you should celebrate about the day. Yeah, I mean, that's the best way to April Fools is to make an actual prize.  That's what I like. Though personally, I think you should just know what day it is. It's not hard to know April 1st is coming. I don't know. Maybe because I make a big deal out of it, like I always have plans for April Fools, so I know it's coming. But that just means one day of the year, you just be like, oh, everything's a lie today. No one is telling me the truth today. That's just annoying. I don't want that. Maybe it's a nice change of pace, I guess.  But anyway, forget that. To me, it's like the classic festivals of the masquerade. No one's themselves today. It's an escape from the normalcy. And everyone can just do... Well, and again, I think it's been hurt by the fact that the internet is now real life. There are real life repercussions of changing everything. Where like 10 years ago, YouTube did a thing where the entire front page, everything linked to Rick Roll. YouTube could never do that now because it would hurt too many people's careers.   You have to actually go find it. Click on it and it's like, I already know what it's going to be. I know it's April Fool's Day.  But I miss when sites would do...   And you know what? That is annoying, but 4chan is not really essential for anybody. So that's more okay. It doesn't really interfere with your day. Anyway, Rick and Morty. Yeah, I feel like that's an appropriate interlude to discuss Rick and Morty anyway. Well, I don't know how long we plan for these podcasts to be, but we can go on as long as we need to. It's a pilot episode and we don't know when we're going to be covering the next one, when we're going to be out. No one knows when the episodes are going to be out.  How are they going to start off? They have to open Season 3 with something kind of epic. And the show opens up by lampooning this. Of course. It starts off with this joke that they're all in a shoneys and oh, who wants to hear about how I escaped from prison?   But then of course when it turns out to be a lie, it's like, oh, okay. That's exactly that April Fool spirit I love.  And it's so great.  Oh, it's the best. So this episode continues the sort of trend that I saw happening through Season 2 and especially with the ending of Season 2. I feel like Rick and Morty owes a lot to Game of Thrones. I think the way that this show uses brutal violence is sort of like because we are now in a culture where that's like a normal thing on mainstream television, like insanely violent scenes happening today. Has HBO become mainstream television? Or is it just the popularity of the show? Yeah, because HBO now is way more easily accessible and torrents are a thing. Game of Thrones is the most torrented show of all time. I believe it. It had like millions and millions of torrents. Yeah, okay. So everyone's seen it. Everyone has seen Game of Thrones.  I mean, the ending of Season 2 was clearly a Game of Thrones parody. It was a red wedding. It was the red wedding like redone in Rick and Morty. And I just love the way the show, it totally like gets into the headspace of like who is the audience of Rick and Morty? What kind of cultural stuff are we? Because like a lot of the show is in reference to like cultural touchstones and stuff. Like there's lots of movie parodies. There's like a whole episode where they're on the Purge Planet. It's like what would it be like if there's a planet that does the Purge? And the way they dryly and matter-of-factly address like what a real Purge Planet would be, I mean in their lampooning way, it's great. It's wonderful. And so when they do like a red wedding scene, like they know exactly how the audience is going to feel at every step of the way.   But the moment that got me the most was right after Bird Person gets shot. Then Rick screams like Bird Person, no! And literally he said that while I was saying no Bird Person! It's like one to one, me and Rick saying it at the same time. And I'm like, because they knew that that's what the audience was going to do. They knew you were going to yell, Bird Person, you know? And so they matched it. And it's like they totally get the ebb and flow of your feelings and stuff. And like- It's well written, man. It's well written. There's so many, like there's so much stuff that they've allowed themselves.  Oh yeah, you're right. It makes you care about them in a real way. I mean in all fairness, it was one episode that was garbage that pretty much ruined that whole thing. What I mean is that like in MLP fandom for everybody who doesn't know because we're a few years out from it and people probably don't know what we're talking about anymore.  They all had like fan made backstories and like people had all these ideas about them and like each one was a popular character in their own right because they would show up in the background all the time or have like one line here and there and stuff like that. And so all those background characters were kind of famous and eventually the show writers became aware of this and they kind of tried to do something with it and it was terrible. Granted some people don't agree. You know there were some decent things like the way they handled the fact that Bon Bon had like two canon or like there was a fandom name and a real name. They made her a secret agent with an alias. Like that's one clever way to handle that kind of a thing but there were many things that were bad and shitty. It's just that the episode itself was terrible. The episode was garbage so yeah. And just the general way that they tried to like they're trying to pander to the audience but it's like they're trying to give us what we are saying we want. Rick and Morty knows what we want and gives it to us in ways we don't expect such as it's got all these background characters who people just naturally started caring about. People love Birdperson. People love all these random weird wacky characters.  Squanch. Squanch yeah. Squanchy. And instead of like giving us some fan service episode or it's like hey it's all your favorite background characters they murder all of them. Yeah. And it makes it even more memorable because it's like instead of just like oh here's Birdperson again we know you love Birdperson here you go have as much Birdperson as you want. No.   But it's also that like they can get away with that because it never feels too dark because of the fact that they're all just dumb background characters. Yeah. Like a guy you see a guy get shot whose name is like Shmoopy Doop or something or Poopy Butthole. Mr. Poopy Butthole yeah. Mr. Poopy Butthole you know like it's the scene is like drawing out like this pathos and everything and it's like everyone's crying it's like that like on some level it hits you emotionally because you kind of care about Poopy Butthole. Not to mention. But it's not like they murdered your favorite character who you really care about. And a lot of that has to do with the way that Rick himself is such like an antisocial you know whatever misanthrope and amazing that word right the one who hates people. Yeah. Yeah I was wondering if it's the one who hates man I'm not saying that it's the other thing.    I watched all season one oh yeah yeah I didn't watch beyond that because I got bored it definitely gets better in season two I like season one quite a bit alright that's cool but yeah I mean a lot of the the arc structure of Rick and Morty that the metanus all of that is extremely like community yeah yeah and obviously they can do even more on this show because it's fucking you can do literally anything yep and it's always willing to just well I love about Rick and Morty is that it's not even that it's pushing the boundaries it's that it's just past all of them like it represents that we're kind of in an era where you can literally do anything yeah you can go as violent as you want you can say whatever words you want you can fucking present the most insane concepts you've ever heard of at the drop of a hat and just keep going there's no like hand holding you know and I mean you can argue that the daily life scenes are like to give retarded audiences like something to cling to uh-huh but um but even then I just feel like this show can do literally anything and it's like this is a like where is the line anymore like what's holding it back other than it has to be 22 minutes long yeah that's like the only real uh real thing and you know and I really do trust these writers to whatever they choose to talk about they will do it in a hilarious, intelligent and like well thought out way that fits cohesively into the overall structure of the show so just one of the best fucking shows I've ever seen and definitely airing right now yeah absolutely fantastic cannot wait for more please give us news about when it's coming out people alright y'all uh join us next time whenever that is whenever it is I mean maybe we could like try to maybe do some back episodes while we're you know if we want to make this like a weekly show leading up to whenever the hell the actual show starts that's a good 24 weeks if we wanted to do it also yeah so yeah I mean we don't have to do every episode we can just do the highlights I'm down alright everybody see you then goodbye moon man goodbye


Britain and Ireland have an incredible diversity of wildlife. The Darwin Tree of Life project will collect, sequence and assemble the genomes for 70,000 species on and around our islands, from fungi to algae and seaweed to starfish. Every living thing has a genome. This is like a blueprint containing all the information needed to make the organism and allow it to function. The collection of these genomes will create a vast reference library for anyone to access, anywhere in the world, which can be used by scientists to better understand our planet. Here at the Marine Biological Association, we are collecting, identifying and barcoding marine organisms from around our shores. So far, we have collected around 600 species from over 300 different families, including microbial marine fungi and phytoplankton to kelps and lichen, sea sponges and fish. The Marine Biological Association is already using this data for exciting new research. Our first species to be sequenced from the Marine Biological Association samples is the grey topshell steronphilus in our area. The grey topshell is a hardy animal and can survive at a range of temperatures. The Marine Biological Association's Marklin Project collects information about key species like this topshell to study how they may react to climate change. For 20 years, Dr. Nova Miaskowska has surveyed up to 100 marine sites around the UK coastline, tracking the changes in populations of 82 species of invertebrates and seaweeds. Nova's work on the grey topshell has shown that it responds better to climate change compared to some other rock pool species. The Darwin Tree of Life Project can provide new information for the Marklin Project on the resilience of these species in a warming world. One of the other genomes currently in the pipeline is from the marine lichen Lycanopygmaea. Lichens are fungi that host symbiotic communities of photosynthetic algae and other microbes that work together to survive. Lycanopygmaea is an unusual lichen species because it is found on the rocky seashore. A harsh end tidal zone where having multiple algal partners is possibly an advantage for survival. Historically it was thought that the Lycanopygmaea symbiosis was just one alga living together with the fungus. Recent research at the Marine Biological Association has shown that Lycanopygmaea has in fact multiple different algal symbiotes, some with marine and some with freshwater origins. They are now investigating how the different algal symbiotes are interacting within the lichen throughout the contrasting tidal cycle of seawater submersion, drying sun and the rain. Like the topshell, the genome sequence brings new understandings of how the lichen responds to environmental conditions. But additionally, the genomes of the symbiotes within the lichen can help us understand how a complex community like a lichen can work together to survive. The Marine Biological Association team have so far collected more than 100 species of seaweed for the Darwin Tree of Life project. We are not just interested in the seaweeds themselves, but also the fungi that live inside them. Some seaweed associated fungi have been shown to promote seaweed growth and survival. Other seaweed associated fungi are likely parasites that have a negative impact. The Marine Biological Association Marine Fungal Culture Collection is home to over 500 species of marine fungi, many of which have been isolated from seaweeds. Compared to terrestrial fungal groups, not much is known about marine fungi. Researchers at the Marine Biological Association are harnessing the diverse collection of Darwin Tree of Life seaweeds and meta-barcoding the DNA from more than 90 samples to identify which specific fungi are living within them. Our researchers can search for the fungal genes in each seaweed sample to identify all the fungi they contain. This will show us the diversity of fungi living within the seaweeds and should help us understand the role they play. Another species, which we're excited to have a genome from, is the marine yeast, Murchinacawia zebelli. This yeast was originally isolated from the site of Channel Rack Seaweed and is one of the many species of marine fungi cultivated in the Marine Fungal Culture Collection at the Marine Biological Association. The L4 databoy lays 14 kilometres away from Plymouth in the English Channel and has been collecting measurements of ocean temperature changes, ocean chemistry and plankton populations for over 30 years. Recent research from the Cunliffe Research Group at the Marine Biological Association has found that the annual population changes in copepods, a tiny crustacean which young fish populations feed on, strongly correlates with population changes in Murchinacawia zebelli. The freshwater relative Murchinacawia bicuspidata is a parasite of water fleas, Daphnia species. The yeasts have a harpoon-like sport which pierces the shells of their prey and infects them from the inside. Other previous research has found marine copepods infected with Murchinacawia zebelli. Researchers in the Cunliffe Group are keen to test this and find out how infection drives changes in zoo plankton populations and potentially the fisheries which rely on the plankton. There is very little known about the roles of marine fungi in the environment and having some genomic data to work with will help with finding out the genetic markers which might link to these ecological processes. These four genome studies and all of the genomes collected for the project help us to uncover the mysteries within cells, understand how organisms respond to climate change and answer fundamental questions about symbiosis and evolution. There are thousands more genomes to explore, a whole planet of researchers and limitless fundamental questions about life and environmental and technological challenges ahead of us. This project pushes genome science forward in huge leaps and bounds but it's also novel for its new ways of working collaboratively, managing, storing and sharing huge amounts of data. Ultimately, it offers opportunities for people beyond research in the fields of AI, computing, data and more. This library of genomes will be a goldmine of information to inspire new generations of researchers.


So as you can see here, I put the smart tag in the ziplock bag LED is blinking at one second interval. I would press on the bag to increase the pressure like so. So you would place the smart tag inside ziplock bag on top of the DSC25R3911B reader. You scan one and you see the UID of the tag. Go to demo smart tag. The reconfiguration, as you can see, is the LED was blinking at one second interval. So every time the second elapsed, you collect the samples of temperature, pressure, acceleration, humidity. So now go to panel number three over here and read sensor data. You can see where I was pressing the bag and you see the registration of pressure. Also when the tag was placed inside the bag and I blow the bag up with my breath, therefore it's entering a high humidity chamber. So it stays at 100% when the bag is closed up. Temperature did not change very much and neither did the acceleration.


So, I've been in NASA my whole career. I am born and raised in NASA Geek. I, you know, unabashedly can say that. I was educated at Brown and Stanford Universities where I was really encouraged to think creatively across the domains of science and humanities. And that, for me, was very important. That's why I went to those two universities. There's endless numbers of great ones. Those two allowed that in me. I got to NASA to really try to work to understand Mars in the context of this solar system relative to Earth. Is it a place we can ask, are we alone? Is it worthy of that? I came to NASA to do that. I've been lucky enough to see experiments that I've been involved with, that I started, fly to Mars, fly to Mars orbit, fly in the space shuttle. I mean, really, I sometimes poked myself and said, did it really happen? Did we really make those measurements? And I've been fortunate to work with incredible engineers. Scientists have ideas. Engineers make ideas practical. We try to measure the unmeasurable, but the engineers tell us how unmeasurable is it. And so we've been lucky. I've been lucky. Many of my colleagues across NASA have been very lucky to do that. So I got to where I am by working as a scientist, rank and file, proposing experiments, working with colleagues, giving papers, writing papers, and eventually coming to the point where my value really was partly strategic. I served on Sally Ride's committee after the Challenger, set back in the late 80s as a strategist, bringing science into the equation as one of the things we'd like to do. I chaired one of NASA Administrator's special skunk works for the future of human and science exploration about 10 or 12 years ago. It was one of the founding fathers of the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity mission now 12 years ago when we first came up with the idea with the community. So I've done a little bit of everything. I've actually served as NASA's agency-wide chief scientist under the Bush Administration when we proposed to go back to the moon and then Mars.  And most of the ride of doing what I've done has been because of other people. And so my job is a people job, in a sense, because scientists are a strange group, but when we get together and do great things, we solve amazing problems.
