Okay, we are recording. Okay, I call this meeting to order the meeting of the Board of Assessors October 13, 2022. And first these preliminary remarks pursuant to the chapter 20 of the acts of 2021. In Massachusetts this meeting will be conducted by remote means members of the public who wish to access the meeting may do so by zoom or by telephone. Or through www.amherstma.gov. No in person attendance of members of the public will be permitted but every effort will be made to ensure that the public can adequately access the proceedings in real time by technological means. And I also want to point out that it's my understanding that this meeting, the tape, the recording of this meeting will be posted on Amherst, Massachusetts is YouTube channel. I call the meeting to order. Okay, and with that being said, as we know the town is recording this meeting. If anyone else is doing so at this time, please notify me now. And hearing none. We will move on. I don't believe there are any members of the public present so we will move on from public participation to approve the minutes from 922 and let me share my screen with you. Ken, have you had a chance to look at the minutes. No. Okay. You want to take a quick scan of the minutes please Ken, can you do that. Here we go. Well, that's not what I wanted to share with you there you go. Can you see that document. If you can enlarge it. I can. Whoops. Is that okay. No. That's today's agenda. Nope.  Sorry about that. Let me do that. Can you see that. Not yet. Okay, let me stop sharing. I'm not sure what happened there. But it was just sorry about that. It's just too small. Sorry about that. That's better. Okay. Sorry about that. All right. So these are the minutes from the 22nd. I can just briefly go through them for you Ken. So we called the meeting to order at 931. We were all present. Our statements were made about being recorded and being remote. We went over the minutes from the 16th of June and the 18th of August. We went over the minutes from the 18th of August. We went over the minutes from the 18th of August. And then we talked about the amendments on the August 18th. Minutes. We went over excise abatements and those were approved as well. And then we talked about under the principal assessor update. We talked about preliminary values being submitted. Waiting for the okay to post our values on the website for our presentation. And then we went over the minutes from the 16th of August. We went over our classification hearing. We discussed that chapter applications are due or were due on the 1st of October. And then we scheduled our meeting for today. With a closing session going into executive session. Excuse me at 1014. And then we did not come back into a public session after the executive session. I moved to approve the minutes of that September meeting. Okay. Okay. Okay. All righty. So we will move along to excise abatements. So you will see here that there were two abatements for the week of 912 through. Well, two days, 912 and 913. For a calendar year 2022. In the amount of $1,193 and 11 cents. Okay. Okay. And then. Moving. Do we want to do them all at once? Or do you want to do them? We can do them all at once. If that's okay with you guys. Okay. So then we have September 19th through the 30th. We have one single abatement for calendar year 2021. In the amount of $68 and 40 cents. And then we have 19 abatements for calendar year 2022. And then we have October 3rd through the 7th. There are six abatements for the calendar year of 2022. Totaling $7,762. And 94 cents. And that is it for excise. So again, the amounts are 7,006. I'm sorry, 7,002 dollars and 94 cents. Total amount for this week was 1,308 dollars and 78 cents. And then 1,193 dollars and 11 cents. Okay. I moved to approve those three sets of weekly abatements. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Excellent. Quickly moving on then we have a commitment from the registry of motor vehicles for calendar year 2020. So that just means that this bill for some reason. Likely went to another community. And when the person received the bill. For some reason, it took them a while to respond and let that community know that. They actually lived here in Amherst. So we have received that bill. In the amount of $54 and 98 cents. So this page here just is for the collector's office. This page here is for the accounting office. They do see one. Amendment here. I'd like to make Teresa. This as a supplemental real estate tax. So we just want to make sure to switch that over to motor vehicle. We can still vote on this. We can actually just. That's September. Correctly, please. Yes. September on the road. Yes. So we'll make those two corrections on this. Again, it is $54 and 98 cents for one single excess tax bill. You will see here, the valuation of the vehicle was 2,199 totaling 54. 98. Okay. So that. So essentially how many signatures is that? For us. Will we be signing three different documents there if we were live? If we were. Yes. Okay. So I moved to approve our signatures on those documents. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Okay. We'll move on. We've got one. Two more. So we have commitment number five that comes from the registry for calendar year 2022. So this picks up anyone that has. Registered their vehicles. I've gotten new vehicles. Since the last. Commitment that comes from the registry, which they usually come. About. Every three months. So this one was totaling $60,671. And 87 cents. Can we spell Jennifer LaFountain's name correctly, please? Yes. I'm having a good week, aren't I? That's all right. That's all right. So we'll get that corrected before we put any signatures on. Just testing you all. And again, we'll switch the supplemental real estate tax on the page to the accounting office as well and change the spelling of September. So again, the amount of $60,671. And 87 cents. This page again would go to the accounting office. First page to the collector. And here's the commitment that is coming right out of the billing system. You'll see there was a total of 489 bills, three of those being exempt. So the amount of $60,671. And 86 bills were actually committed and we expect to make, to receive payment on those in the amount of $60,671. And 87 cents. And that is reflected there. For the accounting office as well as up here again to the collector's office. So just curious what that bigger number was at the bottom. So the bigger number at the bottom was including the three. Excuse me, the three vehicles that were exempt. So you'll see here. There was three of them. And they would have been $30 and 72 cents. So they were likely older vehicles. That were for some reason registered at that point in the year. So that's why that's slightly different there because we're not expecting to collect payment on those. So we're not committing those bills for payment. So that's why I move to approve. I move to prove our signatures. On those documents. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Okay. And then lastly, we have another commitment for calendar year 2022. And this is one bill again, probably sent to us from another community. It probably had the wrong address on it or something to that nature. In the amount of $12 and 50 cents again here to the. Collector's office. You will see that reflected again here. And again, we'll fix the supplemental real estate and the September spelling. $12 and 50 cents here to the accounting office. As well as the page out of the billing system. It's showing it's actually two bills. For a total valuation of $500 total excise tax of $12 and 50 cents. Are those cars. They probably are, I would guess trailers. It's possible that they're like extremely old cars, but with the way the registry has changed their system, my guess is they're probably trailers. Okay. Okay. I move to approve. I move to approve our signatures on those documents. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Okay. And before we move on again, I just want to remind you all that those documents will be adjusted to spelling and the supplemental. Tax will be switched over to excise commitments. Okay. Okay. That's okay. I'll just add to that. We're not going to be doing any damage to the car. I'm going to go to the forest agricultural chapter land lean. So this parcel here. Has been sold. This is located on Henry street. It's a parcel of land. Currently, there's no buildings on it. But there, it has been. Classified as chapter in the past. removing this lien because the new owner is actually changing the amount of acres that's going to be in chapter, as well as the actual use on the property. So first, first lien here is to remove the chapter lands lien for the parcel located on Henry Street. It is map six C lot 284. So we just ask here that we have a vote to be able to do that. And then Richard to please come into the office to sign this one as well as a few others. You know what, do you know what address that is close to. It is. Can tell you really quickly it's North Amherst, right. Yeah, it's right. We're the, we're the power lines across the road. There's a there's a house that's set back almost like behind the power lines it's right next to that if you're headed towards Cushman store it's going to be on your right. Okay. Just to know we need to have everybody sign this. I'm sorry yes. Yes, we can have everyone sign this. So everyone's got to come in physically to sign. Yes. Okay. I'll be back the end of next week. Okay, that should be fine. I just get a vote if you all agree to remove this 16.3931 acres from chapter. So moved. Second, all those in favor please say aye. Hi. Okay, okay then moving along you will see the first lean here is for the same parcel it's actually including another parcel as well. The new owner of this, excuse me I have a book in my face. The owner of this property is Alexander Alexander Nefer. So his intention for the property is to put 16 acres of the 18 into chapter 61 a on parcel map, six C lot to 84, as well as two acres of the six, excuse me of the three on six C lot nine. So both of these parcels are contiguous and they will both be a portion of one will be farmed and a good portion of the other will be farmed. So this is a new lean. Just giving the town the first rate of refusal and so again we're looking just for a signature on this one from all of you, and the approval to record. Second, all those in favor please say aye. So, just a question on the net effect of what is happening here is expanding the 61 a. So he, he is expanding the 61 a. Also something that has to happen just because he's a new owner of the property so we have to record the lean anyway, but it just so happens that yes he he does want to expand a little bit because this parcel six C nine was previously not in chapter. Okay. So he's going to put two acres of that in, in the, in chapter. It actually works out to be just over an acre that he's adding because if you see before, he had just over 16 acres on the first parcel, whereas now he's just putting exactly 16. So it's, it's not a huge change in those two parcels. So, so these parcels have their own frontage on Henry street. That's correct. Yes. Right now I think it's mostly just the wooded section between the two houses again if you're headed into Cushman from Amherst, it'll be on your right hand side I believe it's just the wooded area there that's the frontage on both of those parcels. All right, and moving along we have another sale. So we have a another lean to be changed from the owner's name so we have property on Market Hill consisting of 4.5 acres it's map 3D parcel 81. So again, they're looking to just put this whole piece of property. In chapter. So just looking again for a signature to be able to record the lean. Is it there a minimum size. Yes, so there is it's a minimum of five I believe the next lean is the same people, and it is a point five acre lot. So they will be contiguous to to create the five total acres minimum. So this could never be released one at a time then. Right because if they were, if, if they decided to not farm this piece for example the three map 3D parcel 89. The other parcel would no longer qualify and vice versa. So both of these have to go hand in hand to be able to to be a part of chapter 61 a I would like to vote on them together that would be fine as well because they they go hand in hand. All right. I saw move move that we that we we consider them together and to get to the minimum. So, so moved to set second. All those in favor please say aye. Aye. I remember that there was a minimum. No, I didn't. Thank you. Okay, okay, I feel better about that. I didn't know what it was, but I thought there was. Yes. Good memory. My course was a while ago so that's my. So this here is a document that comes from DCR as you can see this is a forest management plan that has been written up for Helen parent. This is a property that has been in chapter 61 for many, many years. There's a total of 46.9 acres of land on this particular parcel about 41.6 of them is to be classified as 61. So this is just a renewal of this chapter 61 plan. You'll see that there's a trustee Tom Thomas parent has signed on this document. The state forester has signed on the document and you will see here. This shows the timeframe of this particular plan. So it'll go from January of 2023 to December of 2032, believe it or not. So basically what we're still alive. Is she still. I believe so I'm not 100% sure but I was pairing the son and how and parent the mother or. Yes. Yes. So what we're looking for here is just a signature by Richard but a vote on from the board and what we do is we need a in person signature. We have three copies of this form, we keep one. We give the other two back to the owners they keep one and they give one to their forester to put in their file so again just a quick vote on this one and a signature from Richard. So this is an extension so the other one ran out or runs out then. Yes, so every 10 years when you have a forest management plan every 10 years the forester will come out to your property and redo the forest management plan. This could be for a number of reasons this could be that you it's time to actually cut trees. This could be that you've had some serious damage to the property and it could go a number of ways it could be like okay this can't be in chapter anymore it could be that this needs more than 10 years to be cut. It could be that now we're not cutting this parcel because we're leaving it to create carbon which is something that they're working towards in the state level. There are reasons why a 10 year cycle would need to be re updated. But basically that's what they're doing is the forester goes out and picks a walk around the property and looks at what's there and what's going on, and creates a plan for that particular piece of land. So, so regardless there's a 10 year cycle where it has to be renewed in chapter 61 with a plan yes. Yep, you can also have a forest management plan in chapter 61 a for example like with Christmas trees. You can work with a forester to do something of that nature. Same thing you would still have to re redo your plan every 10 years but you still have to file the application in the office every year for 61 a whereas with chapter 61 just forestry. You only have to file every 10 years. Refresh my memory 61 does the town have the right by this if they saw. Yes, yep, any chapter 61 61 a 61 B we all have the first right of refusal which is 120 days once we find out that the property will be going up on the market, and we have the ability to buy it at market price so what would happen is the an appraiser would go out and appraise the parcel and that's what the town would be able to purchase it at. So, so again with this one we're just looking for a vote to approve this plan that was created by the forester and record this name with a signature from Richard. So moved. Second, always in favor please say aye. Okay, and this is just a continuation of the plan I probably should have showed you that before the vote but again let's just break down the acres. So, it's a total of 46.9 excluded acres is 5.3 and the total classified acres is 41.6. And this just goes kind of into detail. As to what exactly is going to be happening on this part parcel so I'll go through it fairly quickly but just so because you guys have these documents if you want to read through them you're welcome to do that. So basically this is just going to explain this shows you the map of the parcel and kind of what's going on where. This one's a little bit more difficult to look at it's the topography. And again, more so these numbers have to actually line up with their lean on their chapters to that's. Yeah, yeah, so. Okay, so I am going to stop sharing my screen for now. And the next thing on the agenda for today is the discussion of the classification hearing so basically I just wanted to let you guys know we're doing it slightly different this year because of revaluation. So the intention was to actually have the classification hearing this coming Monday the 17th, which is not going to be able to happen. The reason being is, we would have to have posted 48 hours in advance in the newspaper that we are going to be having this hearing at this point, I don't know yet if our values will be set. And the reason is because when you have revaluation. You have to post your values online for one week. Once you get the approval from the DOR, so that people can look at their values and if they feel as though that something is incorrect on their record card such as square footage number of bathrooms number of kitchens style of home. Maybe it's the use code so maybe we haven't listed as a two family but it's actually a one family or vice versa. So if you have an error on your record card you have the ability to come in and dispute that with a hearing. So we have to post that for a week that weekends today at 430. So once we get that removed from the website, the DOR then has to approve our LA for so basically what they're doing is they're saying, yes, we agree with your values. We approve them to be submitted for final evaluation. Once we have that, then we can have the classification hearing. So with that being said because I don't know if that's going to happen today or tomorrow. We were a little uncomfortable with having the classification hearing be posted in the newspaper in fear that we didn't get our values approved which is what happened last year so I didn't want that to happen twice and to have people lose confidence in our office. So what we're going to do instead is have a presentation of the proposed hearing on the 17th, which is Monday, and then we will have the actual classification hearing on November 7. So it'll be a very, very brief re, you know a few slides from this presentation that I'm going to do on Monday, just saying you know this is our recommendation this is why please vote. So if you are so inclined to join either of those meetings, you are not required but please welcome to do that. Okay, well, I'm out of the country on the 7th of November but when the in the meeting the council meeting your presentation will occur. I was just speaking with Sean this morning about that and we'll have a better idea by the end of this weekend so I can let you guys all know that once the agenda is actually posted for the council meeting. Right now it's, we're assuming it's going to be earlier in the meeting so somewhere between like 630 and seven possibly. Absolutely they do the presentations like that in the beginning of the meeting. But I can give you a better idea once I have that. So I would, let's see. I'm trying to remember what I'm doing. I think I would be able to attend on the 17th. This is all going to be by zoom. Yes. Are you going to be in the room or are you. I don't think so I think it's all completely remote at this point. Okay, so we'll be welcome welcome as public. Yes. Okay, so we can just join but again yeah you don't have it's not required, but you know. So on the 7th, I think it would be good if one of us was at least one of us was there. Yeah, and that's again that's not required but but totally up to you guys if you want to do that and the 7th will be a very quick presentation, just kind of a reminder of what what was presented this past Monday. And then we'll be asking for the actual vote from council. I think the, the potential random discussion about residential tax, the residential exemption would come in. So I do plan to have a slight presentation during the classification package this Monday. Okay. But we're not going to go too too into detail because at this point in the game if they want to vote in the residential exemption for this year, there's just no chance of getting our tax bills out on time. So the recommendation would be if they feel so inclined to vote that through that they postpone it for fiscal year 2024. Okay, and I, and I just think it needs to be if. Well, I think Ken and I I think I have expressed this before that we, I think our principal assessor has been ready to do a sort of a tutorial on the residential tax exemption for some time now. And it hasn't gotten on the schedule. So it's, it's not us. And along the lines of classification hearing and things that need to the board needs to do, although I said, you know classification is not a requirement. We do have some requirements that that we need you guys for. I know. The signatures in gateway there were some issues with permission so I know Lee wasn't able to actually even see some of the forms that he needed to be able to sign so we will get that fixed and for future board members will make sure that all of that information is available to them. But there is forms that need to be filled out. So I think that the comptroller is recommending that if the page says board of assessors that the board of assessors actually signs it. I think just about every page says board of assessors with that being said, that's a requirement of two signatures, and then I will also be signing those things as well. So, although I'm not a member of the board. It's just two signatures on those things so just another reminder to please make sure your gateway is working that you know your passwords that you know how to get into gateway and then I will be emailing you hopefully. It won't be in such an urgency as this past time and you know we'll be able to get those things signed off. So can you tell us what is the zone of time in which we're supposed to. So it really kind of all depends because it depends on you know if you're in reveal it depends on how quickly you can get your things approved by the state how quickly get your things into the state. Other departments that need to put their information in there they need to be able to get that done so it's but it's really like the time frame I would say would be between October and December, where we need to be able to at least get into gateway and you know make sure that our that we're able to see all the screens that we need to see. And something that I think I would really love to work on for the board as well as just this office because we're going to be having some staffing changes is a timeline of things such as this that we would be able to refer to throughout the year saying you know, August we're slow and we say okay what is coming maybe I can jump ahead and go into gateway and make sure all my stuff is working. So something that I would like to you know come up with in the in the future. For all of us to sort of keep us in line. So let me so let me just make sure we doesn't just sit there. What what's what's where does the initiative for this have to come from us or you know me, this will come from me. So basically what's going to be happening is I'm going to be putting our data into the gateway system which is where we get our approval from the DOR. This allows them to be able to look at our data. And once I'm ready for you to sign on those particular documents, I will be reaching out via email probably I make may call you if it's an urgent request but I'd like to try to email you I'd like to try to give you some time to be able to sign these things. Occasionally there is some urgency, as is the other day, but we were able to get that situated and everything was worked out there. So, so we need to start the next time we need to. Well, I don't know, you're going to come up with a sort of a calendar that we can all have and post. Yeah. Yeah, I have a very vague calendar that I used to use in Greenfield but I'd like to, you know, specifically make that two for us and and add more things to it and also if there's things that you guys want me to add to it for to help you out. I think that would be great as well. Kim, did you discover why I wasn't able to get to the screen. Yes, you did not have permissions for some reason to be able to see the certification of the pre certification screens which I'm not sure why that was given because that would have been changed because I have missions before. Yeah, so I'm not sure if there was an update somewhere that just somehow knocked you out or what happened but but I was able to sign on your behalf. And so that worked out perfectly fine because Richard had signed as well so it worked out perfectly. So is this one of those rare instances with I'm actually more in order than the other two members. We're not going to go there. That is weird. So that's sort of segues into the guest Kim. Are you going to. Are you saying in the future you'll your signature will be on the form online. So my signature I like to sign the forms as the assessor anyway just saying yes I agree with my board and yes I put these values here. Whether or not my signature is required I like to do that just so that the ORC's that I you know I'm in a grand but there is. I think it's a place out. Is there a place online for you to sign. Yes, yeah it's the same place it's just a little checkbox on the bottom. And I think just about every form that we have said it be helpful if you sign first before you told us to go sign. We know we know where we know where to look then. Okay, I can do that. And if it's helpful, like I had sent those screenshots I'm happy to do that as well because I know this is something that only happens once a year so it's not easy to forget I mean it is easy to forget. You know when you don't do it that often and the system is a little confusing so I'm happy to do that as well if that's helpful. Is it also possible to send out that your presentation to you for Monday ahead of time does. Absolutely yep I'm meeting with Paul this afternoon and Sean. Okay, once that is done then I will absolutely send that to you and I'm going to put a note on my desk right now so that I don't forget. Thank you. I just want to say that as a member of the as one member of the board speaking for myself. The Council needs to be clear that we are ready to do a more leisurely tour through the residential exemption and the, you know the split rate stuff. You know, we're ready to be part of a sort of an education process for the Council. It leads up to this in a more in a more leisurely way, so that they're not feeling as though, you know, their, their discretion is being sort of circumvented if people in the board understand what I mean I mean essentially, they're going to be told that we they can't do the exemption that split rate this year because the bills won't go out on time but it seems to me that the principal assessor is ready to educate the Council about this stuff. If they can, if you can just get on the calendar. If they want us, if they want us to right, right, right, right. Right and the presentation was sent to like you guys know it was sent to Paul last year. And then I believe the Council President so they are aware that we have that and has had and have had it for quite some time so but I understand what you're saying as well. So, okay. So, segue into the assessor update the values once they're removed from the website today. We're just waiting for our final approval from the DOR. So I have a question. I have a question. Is there any way for you to know how many people have actually reviewed their card. I think that there's, I don't know how to do it but I think there is a way that if I spoke with Brianna or someone from the IT department they can track that through our website. So we don't actually know how many people saw the notice and then looked at their at their record at their records. No, we don't. However, Amherst does keep the records on our website at all times throughout the year. So that's also just another sort of people can go and look at it anytime and so if they know something's wrong. I hope that they would talk to me about it throughout the year, but this also gives them that extra time to be able to do that which in every in a in a non recertification year, they call them interim years. This timeframe doesn't exist so if you find that there's something wrong with your value you have to wait at this point to get it to go into the appeal period in January so this is just an extra sort of check. So I assume nobody contacted you as of right now nobody has contacted me they do have until 430 today. And if that happens then I have to schedule a hearing with them hearing is very simple it's just them coming in and explaining to me what's wrong. Me looking at the record card potentially going out and doing an inspection of the parcel. So that again could hold up our classification hearing from Monday night as well so that's why we're doing it the way we're doing it this year. With that being said if we don't get anybody at as of 430 today, then our values would be sent over to Sandra bruzzo who is the final say at the DOR and she would then review our values and approve them hopefully without any changes. In your in your work with a prior community with another community. Did you have people who contacted you in that in that process elsewhere. So, um, my very first year working for the town of Greenfield was a revalue year, I believe, and I don't really know what was going on at that point, because it was really in the assessor's hands, as I was still learning what I was doing. And so that I don't know. Last year was a revaluation year and unfortunately it was. I was only there for a portion of it, because I came here so I can't really respond to that. I don't think it has happened that often. I feel like our records here in Amherst are pretty accurate to what is actually out there with the exception of course of those that are under construction, which, you know, once they're completed then I think, you know, and I'm not saying that they're not accurate but obviously, you know, if I go out and say tomorrow it's going to be different so that's what I mean in regards to construction properties but you know I think our records are very accurate here so I am not surprised that we haven't had anybody. Again, once 430 hits today if we've had no appeals, then we'd just be waiting for Sandra to approve our LA for which is our values. Once we get that approval we can officially post the classification hearing, which hopefully will be for November 7. And again that will just be sort of a reiteration of Monday's presentation. Aside from that, I think I've mentioned that the chapter land applications were due on October 1. So that date has passed so we will be sending out reminder notices to any that have not responded. Although that's not a requirement I do like to do that especially for the farmers because right now they're busy. They're trying to clean up for the for the winter months they're trying to you know grab their last crops before they get ruined by the frost or anything like that so you know I know it's a busy time of year and again having to do something once a year it's easily forgotten. So, we do send out those reminders to all members of any type of chapter 61 61 a or 61 b. What what we've been working on in the office to is, you know collecting all of those applications aside from many others. And doing a little cleanup in the office on I don't know, you can't really see behind me but a little bit has changed it's, there's a little less things there. You know we've been going through paperwork we're going to be looking at our retention schedule and seeing what we can get rid of that we no longer have to keep anymore. So that's been taking up quite a bit of time. Personal exemptions are still coming in pretty heavily, but we did send out a reminder to those who have not yet applied this year that applied last year. Just to try to get them in before the tax bills actually get mailed because it's just nice to be able to apply those to the tax bills right away rather than have them respond. That's a little later date saying I got my tax bill but I didn't get my exemption. And I think that's really like the, you know the majority of what's what we've been doing, I just, I just went to a conference the other day about how to get ready for setting your tax rate and all of that. So that was pretty helpful. But otherwise I think that's the majority of what's been going on here in the office. He talked about some staff changes coming. Yes, so Teresa will be retiring. So we'll be getting a new person coming into the office whether it be, you know, someone new just to Amherst or someone new altogether to the assessor's office or someone new inside of the town moving over you know I don't know what what that will bring but so we've actually also been working on how to booklets. So just cheat sheets on how to do all of the things that we do every day. And again you know depending on the person that comes in those are going to be extremely helpful because if it's someone coming from another town we just may do something slightly different we may have a different system than them. So it's just just helpful to have those if it's someone brand new to the assessing world altogether. It's great to have those when you don't have a clue what you're doing, because then you have those to back up your work and to be able to say yeah I did it right. I looked at the direction so just a nice thing to have. What's your current staffing right now. And so it's myself and Teresa full time and then we have Steven which is part time. And what do you think you'll post the new job. It's a little up in the air still but it should be some time in the beginning of next calendar year. So we're not, we're not necessarily getting an overlap for Teresa would actually. We will get an overlap of maybe a month or so depending on how fast the application process goes how fast you know if we get anybody that applies. You know if we get any internals things like that really it kind of depends on on what the outcome will be, but we definitely will get at least a month of overlap. But those how two books are nice to have anyway even if you've been here forever because sometimes I have to refer back to them with those processes that you do once a year like I have one for inputting the tax bills into the billing system because I do it twice a year and it's different for preliminary versus finals finals has a lot more steps. So it's nice to just refer back to that and have the screenshots of exactly where you need to go. So it's sort of mindless to do which is nice. So is that something new for the office. I think there's been. Well, it sounds like there's been a few of them done in the past for more complicated things. I think, like for example the inputting of the text bills and the the excise tax bills I think that there have been those around but we're sort of digging deeper into that and saying you know even daily processes which hasn't probably happened in a long time and David has been here for a while and David was here for a while and so I think those are sort of newer to the to the booklet. So are you have you submitted your budget request for next year. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet and actually let's let's make note to put that on the agenda for the next meeting to because if we have any questions concerns. I mentioned to you guys a few things that I might need to add to the budget. But let's put that on the agenda for next time. Next meeting. Okay. All right so it looks like we would be looking to to schedule a meeting for November.  Well, practically speaking 11. Okay, so we could do the 17th. The 24th is a holiday so if we can't do the 17th then I would recommend that we do a different day of the week just for the month of November. The 24th is like skimming. Yeah so we're not going to do we won't do that. I'm not here that we just you know I'm not here the week of the 17th. I would say we should we should either do it the 17th or I would recommend that we do it on a different day. Just so that we can have a meeting in the month of November I think it's important especially with classification. Being the seventh. But I but you know, if we can't make the 17th work then it's, I think it's completely okay to do a different day of the week, just for the month of November. November 17 but others. I'm okay I'm okay on the 17. Okay, it's fine with me. And you're okay with the still the 930 time. 930 right. Yes please. Okay. All right so we'll schedule the next meeting for November 17 at 930 am. I'm going to assume that it's going to be completely remote again I think we have until April or May of this. I know we started to do the hybrid, and it seemed to be working okay but it was, you know, whatever people want to do just just let me know. If we want to go back to that. So, with that being said, I think the next thing that we would need to do is go into executive session to look at a couple of personal exemptions, and I don't anticipate a return to public section after that meeting. We just need a vote to go into executive session whenever you're ready. Just to make sure, just so we're, we're, we're straight on the public portion. It's just, you say it's a couple of personal exemptions to review. Yes. Okay, and that's it. Right. Just the review and the vote on those and that's it. All right. All right, I move that we go into executive session for that for that for that limited purpose with no return. No return to the public session. Second. All those in favor please say aye. Okay, and that's at 1022. Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and stop the recording again I just want to make it clear that we will not be coming back to public section after the executive session. Thank you.


Gorlin syndrome, also known as basal cell nevis syndrome, is a genetic condition affecting about one in every 100,000 births, and which have become covered in skin cancers, tragic disease. But a case report was recently published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology, describing the temporary arrest of basal cell carcinoma formation in a patient with the syndrome. The poor woman was getting up to 20 new basal cell carcinomas every six months. Then she started going to a spa and getting green tea body wraps once a month, and for the following year, not a single new carcinoma appeared. Instead of 40, there were zero. But she ended up stopping after a year, and at her next dermatology visit, 15 new lesions had already started appearing. They assumed it was the green tea, but the wrap also contained algae, mustard oil, ginger, calendula, so who knows. Now the researchers emphasize this is but a single case report, and then it's not like there's enough evidence to start clinical treatment of human patients with non-melanoma skin cancer because we lack the studies. But why not? Obviously if there were risks, you wouldn't want someone to just start something based on one report, but what's the downside of giving it a try?


Freedom. I want to discuss with you a very important topic. Some things that you may be doing that may lead to your YouTube channel being closed and or your partnership with freedom being terminated. Do I have your attention? Good, because this is a very important and very serious topic. As some of you may be aware through previous uploads on this channel, freedom is committed to you, the partner, to get ad buys and to have more opportunities for you in the future. Now part of this is making sure that everyone's following the rules. This means the YouTube terms of service. This way, everyone's playing on a level playing field. This also means making sure that as many people as possible are able to take advantage of this system, which means that we're dealing with people who are paying attention to and adhering to the YouTube community guidelines and overall that these are marketable channels. There were a few things that I can tell you about right now that will help keep your channel safe. First on that list is to make sure to not use ad fly links. Ad fly links will get your channel terminated by YouTube and may cost you your freedom partnership if you use these. Why? Because YouTube has classified these as spam because they don't actually take you where you want to go. They take you to an ad and then maybe you get to go wherever the link wants you to go later. This is spam classified by YouTube. So also because freedom follows YouTube's terms of service, freedom also views it the same. Inserting additional or extra tags into your description is a banable offense on YouTube. Spam 404 and YouTube have closed many, many, many channels for this. So make sure that your channel does not have extra or more tags in the description. There's a place for tags. Make sure that they're there. When it comes to YouTube, there's no battle older than the battle of copyright. Understanding copyright as a YouTuber is your first line of defense. That also means that if you don't understand copyright, YouTube can take your channel down. Again, if you're not following copyright laws, if you're not playing within the rules of the system, then that means that either YouTube or freedom can decide that they're no longer going to continue their relationship with you. One thing that catches a lot of YouTubers is the music they use in their intros or outros. Make sure to use royalty-free tracks or something that's licensed to you like we have in the deals with position music or audio micro. Anything like this, just be sure that you are on the safe side of copyright. There is one final general one. It's basically just follow the rules.  I don't understand them. Linked in the description, you will find a link to YouTube's terms of service as well as some other things that will help you understand your best practices. And here's the kicker. Very soon, if these things are not complied with, we will be acting and un-linking some channels. I hope that this video has been helpful for you. If it has, let us know in the comment section down below. And remember, as always, follow the rules. That's the most important part of anything. If you don't know what the rules are, link in the description to YouTube's terms of service as well as some other reading material that can help you along your way. Until next time, like, subscribe, comments, please.

What's the word y'all NBA finals game one? I'm broken baby. Shout out to my guy Reese made it for the fire Devon Booker tee three games away I know I know I know I'm supposed to be unbiased around here, but I'm excited man I don't want it to be just three games away by the way I do want a long and productive season or series But hey three games away for the Phoenix Suns bro and today was a good game though It wasn't necessarily a crazy close one the box had their couple runs in there to cut it down to seven eight But who stepped on the necks of the team? Christopher Emanuel Paul who stepped on the next the Bucks DeAndre Aiden who stepped on the necks of the injuries injuries did too Because though Yana's did play in this game and had his moments in this game Obviously not a hundred percent. He only attempt at 11 shots. He shot. He shot more free throws on the actual shots He was more playing the decoy role. I mean if you look at his final stat line 20 points 70 rebounds forces, but the 11 shot He wasn't the the dominant Yanis that we've seen for this entire run and obviously you can tell it was the knee He was lifting up court a few times where he was giving a ball off and like hey y'all do y'all thing I'm gassed. I think it's been over a week since the last time he actually played like actual NBA basketball And there's a guy there for his entire career Leading up into this year at least where he was never a guy that was going to give you 40 minutes a game because he's playing So hard on the off his side of the ball. He's a bulldozer bulldozer bulldozer He doesn't have the lungs to play heavy heavy minutes And you take a whole week away from productive basketball And of course he is gassed out of this world and he can't bulldozer to the lane like he normally does That's that and they also play some amazing defense on him today, man The Phoenix Suns had a scheme and they tried to basically send the whole team at him any time They got close to the rim. There are screenshots I'm pretty sure people got screenshots where Yanis has the ball within the three or four feet of the rim And there's four jerseys around him from the Phoenix Suns like bro You're not getting a look and even within that the first half first quarter or so he looked as dominant as ever Like the knee wasn't bothered me got a shakedown block on McHale bridges. He's dunking He's doing everything in his power to keep his team in the game But he didn't really have it for the Milwaukee Bucks The the others didn't perform Chris Middleton had a okay stat line You 29 points per game or 29 points this game a couple moments We hit a couple in a row and it felt like he was very productive a Jew holiday Continues to distinguish if Yanis is not playing he can be super effective But when Yanis is playing he struggles offensively and they didn't get the production from Bobby Portis as you've seen I'm you didn't a production from Brent Forbes who they tried to play a decent amount of because they need shooting This team coming into this series was shooting 30% from a free throw line as a team I mean they shot 44, which is great in comparison, but they had to run a lot of Brent Forbes They had to run 10 minutes of Jeff Teague and at the end of the day Those aren't two players that you would normally run in the NBA finals This is game one though Typically in a game number one teams rotations are eight nine deep and as we get deeper into the series people can cut off cut off because it matters More the Dante de Vincenzo injury is super significant You know, of course Yanis is injury significant But Dante de Vincenzo's injury is significant because if Dante de Vincenzo is here and he's healthy and he's playing Brent Forbes doesn't touch the floor Jeff Teague doesn't touch the floor and a lot of those minutes from Pat Conna's and maybe get cut down He wasn't terrible. He wasn't good either and Dante de Vincenzo does that He throws an extra defender for some of those perimeter guys that they wouldn't normally get But this series is very far from over. I'm gonna talk about the Suns for sure But this series is very far from over because I saw my guy Taz Mellis tweet this and I didn't really think about it The Milky Bucks are one and four or one and three out of the four game fours They played this series or this season on the road to the finals and the one game that they did win was an overtime game in Milwaukee that was a Jimmy Butler game tire Yeah, is that the last highlight of Jimmy Butler's season? Yeah, probably So this is not a team that comes out and be like a we on y'all butts and game number one They take some time to do some adjustments and I think they have some adjustments to do because on my podcast this morning One of the thing I was saying is that one of the key factors to the series obviously health again But like the pick and roll defense with the Milwaukee Bucks because early in the last series against Trey Young and them They were drop covers drop covers drop covers and the Trey young drop 40 and as the series went on they started to hedge a little bit more They started to switch I saw Brooke Lopez guard and Trey young a bunch at the end of this series because they changed their defensive scheme and Devin Booker and Chris Paul as good as Trey young is in a pick and roll These are guys that are just as good or even better. We're talking about Chris Paul He might be the greatest pick and roll player of all time So I was saying that the X factors what bud decides to do on the pick and roll and his goal was a Brooke Lopez In the game drop coverage and Bobby porters is in the game We trust Bobby porters on a perimeter a little bit more of the brick Lopez We can switch those things and boy that they see that switch and Chris Paul and Devon Booker We're like, yeah, we'll take that and Bobby didn't necessarily play terrible terrible defense But when you got two of the greatest pick and roll isolation players in the league It made them look real bad a couple in the place was Objectively bad, but he played some really solid defense on some Devon Booker moves and Devon Booker just rolls up It shot over them. They also picked out Brent Forbes as Any good team would do in a situation like this. Who is the weakest link on the court? It's obviously Brent Forbes, so let's go at Brent Forbes with Devin Let's go at Brent Forbes with with CP and they did that and did that and did that and Brent Forbes said a couple shots for them But when he is a liability on the defense side of the ball He's giving up this many points. It ain't necessarily a good thing for him to be on the court So I would expect for game number two is either two things Here's one of the two things either he's gonna come out game two and he's gonna hit four threes in a row like he did in that one game against I forget who or he won't play Or he'll play instead of 12 minutes. He'll play two minutes and then Bud's like, okay short leash We can't really do that Man what a game from Chris Paul, bro? First ever finals appearance from my point God and boy did he show up first quarter He didn't really do much first half really. He didn't really do much the recorder comes around. All right I'm done planted the pace and let my other guys get involved It's my time to shine and he did that step back and one threes way twisting his ankle and I'm just I'm like, bro No, this ain't this ain't the time and then later in the game. He hurt his hand. I'm like, bro This is not the time Chris. This is not the time for this But what a great performance from him Devin Booker didn't necessarily shoot the ball Well, I'm looking at eight for 21 one for eight for three But he was hella aggressive when it came to to get into the free throw line And I saw some people and these these people don't represent the entire fan base at all But I saw a few bucks fans tweeted me like yo Kenny look at the Disparity and the free throws and it's 26 to 16 and throughout this game It wasn't really that close at one point. It was super super lopsided until Yannis drew a bunch of fouls in the fourth Quarter and what I would just say to that. It's not that it was rigged The Suns legitimately tried to get to the basket at any time they can and it felt like Chris Middleton drew holidays At a team we're settling if it wasn't Yannis bulldoze in his way to the paint They didn't really have much paint production other than you know, Brooke Lopez had a couple shots, you know but this team is Dramatically different schemes when Yannis plays and when Yannis does it and when Yannis plays it's Yannis as the aggressor Right. I think I heard somewhere earlier when I was listening to a podcast I think it was Zach Lowe's podcast I could be mistaken and if I was savvy enough I would look this up when I'm talking about it But they were saying that these are the two lowest Freed throw attempting teams in the entire league It's Yannis carrying the box when it comes to free throw attempts and then it's like Devon Booker because yeah, hey, Deodra ain't an amazing game We're gonna talk about that But um, six free throw attempts is really good for Deodra ain't considering even having games was zero from zero from a free throw line But hey, if Yannis wasn't making it to the paint nobody else was really trying to be aggressive You know, there may be a few plays that were missed fouls, but that's just in the scheme of basketball It's gonna happen that way. Um, but let's talk about Deandre a Graphic pops up on my screen. I had the screen shot that day. Hold on I gotta go to my Twitter got the screen shot that thing But I think it was like the last player to have a 2015 game going with rebounds and NBA finals was like Tim dunk, let me see here this first player with 15 points and 15 rebounds in a finals debut since Tim Duncan and 99 Deandre Aiden completely dominated this game Completely Dominated this game and all of the great centers that were in the finals or in the playoffs this year He stands above all He stands above all and and what a performance from him. Chris Paul did him so dirty Because the last shot of the game It's like five seconds left or so Chris Paul literally just steals the rebound out of Deandre Aiden hands Preventing him from setting another record of having a 2020 game. So he had to settle for a 2219 game still great Still great hands were immaculate no turnovers for Deandre Aiden today and you know him if he's probably not gonna miss He's probably not going not gonna miss somebody said I'm just looking at my Twitter account here Y'all know these are off the cuff. I just talk He this is from Jake and hoops. He's the top reply to my tweet He has worked his way into bam cat and Rudy discusses behind and beating yokas his postseason is arguably their best player over the last six weeks Tell me if y'all agree or disagree with Jake and hoops takes there. I don't think he's too far off I'm not saying I could completely agree, but another tweet that I saw that was very very Interesting was a tweet. I'll be screen signing these tweets because I'll be wanting to talk about these things It's from Mark Stein This is only the ninth game Chris Paul has played in the month And he is uber fresh especially by the standards of this wild season in the show tonight I didn't even think about that while the Milwaukee Bucks are banged up and just went to some seven games Wait, they go to this just going to a long series after long series at the long series Chris Paul missed Games this this series and because of that he really he's fresh He's fresh the freshest playoff run of Chris Paul's career. That's he that's coming off of injury You know I'm saying but that yes that that definitely was a factor in today's game Definitely was a factor today's game. I'm excited for this series man Like I said this series is very far from over the Milwaukee Bucks are a very good team y'all I want y'all to realize this the Milwaukee Bucks. Yes, I've said it before Angel Reese have played a big part in these two teams facing against each other to find us. That's a fact There's no disputing that But the Bucks are a super super talented team and there's anything you could take away from this game Bucks fans You could be like always straight. We're good It's the fact that you shot 44% from three today And I don't know if you've had a single game this series or this whole playoff run that was 44% The jump shot was falling you need Yannis to get a couple more days of health because him going into this being doubtful It's a questionable to another questionable till we good is obviously he's not there He's not there just yet So maybe these next two days and I think they get a three-day break in between that so it might take a few games For Yannis to get healthy But the three-point shots were hitting tonight and it's one thing you can hang your hats on Coach bud has to figure out what to do about the pick and roll coverage because you saw he tried a little bit of both would work Lopez was sitting down and we're not doing anything and there were Bobby porters we switched in and he got ice I don't think the switch is a terrible idea. I listen to me think the Suns made some really really tough shots today I don't know if I mentioned the two names of the camps. I'm Cameron Johnson Cameron Payne Both looking amazing. No Dario sauce because he got into very early on but it didn't matter Definitely didn't matter because the under any was so dominant that they need to really break him out of the game at any point, you know You can't go small like I said, I mean you can't go small like it's the Suns But the Suns are not a team that's gonna be reactionary and say we have to go small too because Aiden is so versatile Wow, I'm excited for this one. Michael burrs. It's a big-time shot So you got his stuff glassed earlier, but it didn't matter scoreboard Yannis Scoreboard Yeah, I'm excited for game number two. Hopefully I could pull up to game number three in Milwaukee I think that's on a Sunday. I might be able to pull a trigger And they're expensive. It's like a grand per seats unless you want to sit in the 300 tonight if I'm gonna sit in the 300 I just did the create So we'll see I let me know what you think about game one. Are you a guy that say it's over? I've seen a lot of people sons and four guy is signing autographs and doing meet-ups and Really? Hypothetically speaking What hypothetically speaking? um, if I were to If I were to Sell autographed pictures of myself Would you buy and at what price? In what price because sons and four guy is selling and people are buying I think I got a little bit more clout than sons and four guy But sons and four guy did talk to Devon Booker. I've never done that book. Hit me up, baby Come on to the show. I also shot my shot at Isaiah Thomas today Ratioed his tweet asking to come on called game and he didn't respond. So I shoot, you know, I'm saying I might shoot 10% But I'm gonna keep shooting so deep book Isaiah Thomas anybody in between hit a brother up come on to the show Speaking of that show the actual hero show while we're here at the end of the episode leave a like subscribe if you want to Leave here. We're taking a brief hiatus on the actual called game episode So I don't want people waiting up on Wednesday's think you're gonna get a show because you're not We're trying to recalibrate Try to figure some things out try to get people booked Because I don't know if you notice the last month has been called game lives Which basically a way you're I'm saying us saying we didn't book anybody this week. It's been a struggle independent You know I'm saying it's hard. It's hard to hit people up Some of my friends are still in season shout out to McGill Bridges. So Yeah, I I'm probably upload tomorrow. There's some stuff on my mind dealing with the NBA I feel like I should upload tomorrow. So I see you then
