I've been watching Farah on reality TV for quite some time now and she never fails to entertain. From her early days starring on MTV's Teen Mom to the current season of X on the Beach, her appearance has changed a lot. In 2008, Farah Abraham, who was only 17 at the time, got her start with reality television on MTV's 16 and Pregnant, eventually starring for years on the spinoff show Teen Mom, which is how most of us know her. Some may also recognize Farah from the adult movies that she starred in, which definitely caused scandal. However, Farah didn't seem to hate the attention and the paychecks that came with this. This may also have something to do with her beauty transformation because her look definitely isn't subtle anymore. In this video, we will be breaking down Farah's transformation from the natural looking Teen Mom she once was, how she looks today, which is a lot to cover. My name is Kara and this series we have titled Before and After. We have done other videos on the likes of Nicki Minaj and the cast of Jersey Shore. This video took a lot of research, so be sure to hit subscribe and let me know who you want me to document next in the comments down below. Next we'll look at Farah's cosmetic procedures. Farah's gone under the knife plenty of times, but she doesn't try to hide it. Let's start with her face. In 2012, Farah got a nose job and a chin implant by a doctor in Ball Harbor, Florida. This set her back around 20,000. Farah explained, I finally feel gorgeous. I've hated my nose since I was 13.  I feel gorgeous. This didn't last long though and she opted to remove the chin implant in 2013. I think that in recent years, her nose looks even smaller, so she may have gotten it done more than once. They say for everything three times a charm, except when it comes to nose jobs. You don't want to have a Michael Jackson collapsing situation. Moving on. In 2013, Farah also began getting lip injections. Although some of her teen mom co-stars threw shade at her for this, plenty of them jumped on the bandwagon years later, getting a lot of work done themselves. I remember Farah's lip injection journey pretty well. Who could forget her botched lip job in 2015? Farah circulated online making her a joke, but it was pretty scary. She wanted a lip implant because it was more permanent, but instead she got an intense allergic reaction. These days, Farah has gotten some of her lip fillers dissolved. Posting a video this past summer, she explained that she didn't want too much filler on her top lip due to a fear of the duck lips look. However, in recent pics, her lips still look quite big. Wearing braces in her early days has also helped create the straight teeth and smile that Farah has now. Moving on to Farah's body. The star has gotten more than one boob job done. Her second attempt was the one which made a noticeable difference. In 2013, Farah increased her C cup size to a D. Conveniently around the same time she started getting involved in the adult film industry. It's also no secret that Farah has gotten her butt in hands. Looking at photos of Farah before and after, you can see the huge difference. Even her body shape has drastically changed in the past couple of years.  Hey guys! So I'm showing you guys a booty secret right now. This booty cheek is done and we are going in and we are getting done with this one. But that's another story. If all of this isn't shocking enough, last year Farah also underwent vaginal rejuvenation which is a broader term for a handful of procedures done on one's lady parts. The shocking part isn't that she got it done, it's a fact that she shared the whole event on social media, even live streaming it. Apparently this was just one of the four procedures that went down to give her the designer vagina that she wanted. Although it might be considered too much information or outrageous, I do respect her confidence for not caring what other people think. It's beautiful, it's great, and I want to show you this. So we're going to go live live.  Once that's live, then we'll kind of show you what's going on. And then I'll do a full video, I'll probably post a full video tomorrow. Moving on to Farah's hair and beauty look, she's also switched it up over her years in the spotlight. She's always had a dark, exotic appearance, likely due to the fact that her father is of Syrian and Italian background, while her mother is more fair-skinned. Farah's hair at the beginning was dark brown, which looks like her natural color. Over the next few years, she dyed her hair a bit, but nothing drastic. Brunette seems to suit her so she played around with varying shades. I like the light brown. In 2016, Farah made a bigger change and went blonde, which she kept for almost a year. And the following year, she switched it up yet again. This time for a bold red color. I actually liked this shade a lot on her. I think it was my favorite. These days, Farah is back to a light brunette shade like we see her on this season of X on the Beach. Her natural hair is just past shoulder length, so she also clearly had hair extensions before to give it that length and volume. Although some think Farah looks extra fake and appears to wear a lot of makeup, she's been showing off a natural look more often. Honestly, I think she might even look better without all the makeup. She still plays around with different looks and wears wigs sometimes to keep some variety. Altogether, Farah has changed a lot since her debut on MTV's 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom. From all the work that she's got done, as well as her style evolution, she looks completely different than the girl next door we were first introduced to. Many might think she's extreme and over the top, but one thing's for sure is she has a ton of confidence. I don't think she lets the haters get to her. Thanks for watching, guys and girls. My name's Kara. I'll be reading all your comments and liking the nice ones. Let me know who's next, and I'll see you in another video. Bye.


Like what made you get into 18 Willis? Cause every time I see you, you're killing the game. We jump straight out the hotshot trucks and come get straight to the semi trucks, man. Anything concerning this truckin' is what we doing. We provide opportunities, provide them skills, show them boys how to get after money. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one, one on one. Yeah, we gon' talk. And you know this guy we got on here today, y'all. He don't need no introduction. The culture sees him coming. I've seen this guy with all type of people. I know already that everybody is looking at what he's done. When it come to reform, it ain't nobody that's on this guy's level. I've been, I see him and I'm trying to understand what everything that he embraces. And we talked a little bit the other night, but let's just go and get it going, man. Bruce is in here, man. Say, man, look, man, you one of them guys, man. The big reform movement is on that. The big reform movement, bro. That's what we doing. But we gotta get to these trucks, man, cause you pull the move, man. Don't you drop the train. This is why I tell people that you need to know how to do it. Like, what made you get into 18 Willis? Cause every time I see you, you killin' the game. We jump straight out the hotshot trucks and come get straight to the semi-trucks, man. Anything concerning this truckin' is what we doing. We provide opportunities, we provide skills, showin' boys how to get at the money. Man, you know what I'm sayin'? So I actually got in the truckin' cause of one of my partners. I see, you know, he rockin' the big chains. He lookin' good and, man, I was tired of being in that warehouse. I'm really thankin' my partner, Hustling. How long you stay in the warehouse? About two years. Two years, okay. Yeah, I worked in the warehouse about two years. Yeah, about two years.  Only reason I went and got in the truckin' cause I saw how my partner was livin'. All I cared about was the bag.  I was so fascinated with like, bro, you livin' like that?  He was kickin' it. Man, this man don't sellin' out a piece of dope. If he see you commitin' the crime, he gon' call the law. Wow. You know what I'm sayin'?  He was like, yeah, that's all I do.  It gotta be something like, bro, you know I ain't the law. You ain't gotta shake me, bro. He like, man, go on, man, I'm tellin' you what I do, I drive trucks.  I went and got my CDL license. That was the only reason that I got into truckin'. It had nothing to do with me wanting to be a truck driver or anything. No, it had the lifestyle. It was simply the lifestyle. I saw how my partner was livin', I was like, yo, I'm finna go check this out. When did, okay, and then, because being the Brewster you are today, when did it hit you that you wanted to help other people that were comin' out of prison to be truck drivers? Hey, now y'all know at Brewster and the Justice, we change your lives, man, we got another one. How much time you do, bro? Five, man. When he was 15 years old, the man went to a penal institution. He has been released from prison, got his CDL. What we doin', bro? Man, we gettin' to the money, man. You know we gettin' shoppin' up games. Hey, man, this what we doin' at Brewster and the Justice. So I saw that that was the way for us to get home.    I'll leave people care about us. Can you get this low from point A to point B? Boy, if you can do that, they gon' give you a bag of money. Once I saw that, I was like, oh, this the way, bro. I'm not sayin' this is the way forever. I'm sayin' this is the way to get on your feet.   Yeah, we on boss talk, one on one, one on one. Yeah, we gon' talk.


The great value about diversity is it brings to a problem solutions that you as an individual haven't thought of and so you can only leverage the different views and ideas, the perspectives of a wide range of people if you're open to that. Bringing diverse groups together with competing agendas and different perspectives means that there's got to be some compromise and you really got to have an open mind as to how you can work through that and look for what the best outcome is and that sometimes may not be your outcome. In many instances people were working across purposes, there was a very limited understanding of how the UN operates in response, very little respect at times about what governments expectations and needs might be and often the civilian or NGO side simply saw the military as a problem that needed to be managed rather than a potential capability that could support that, the efforts. I would say over the last ten years and looking at the recent sort of response we've had in Banuatu and in the Nepal earthquake it is much more of a hand in glove approach and there's much more respect of where people come from. So there's a lot of diplomacy involved, it's not just a technical thing about oh how many people need water or shelter, it's a very important diplomatic process. If you don't go through those initial stages of conflict analysis and setting the objectives and doing the diplomatic work to generate the consensus around them then it's just chaos on the ground. The international aid response is proscribed frequently by what it is that we've been asked to do, not necessarily what on the ground is required, in some ways you could argue that we're supply driven not demand driven. That's why the point of coordination is so important. The military should be seen as an asset of ultimate civilian political objectives. How you use that asset depends upon the relationship which exists between the civil and the military component. The military is often the tip of the spear right when the international community goes in. They're the first responders but the problem is that most countries really need policing. They don't necessarily need a robust military and in fact a robust military ultimately can be a threat to the government in the long term. Leaders of police components in peace operations need to think in terms of their local counterparts ultimately and currently being in charge of their own destiny. You can only do so much from the outside, the rest has to come from internal sources. NGOs play an enormously important role, often have a long history with the communities in the country which others are working and bring in an enormous amount of knowledge of capability and so on to the table at the same time. Sometimes the coordination issue of who's doing what where and the same organizations are going to the same village to fund the same things that can become very confusing and sometimes counterproductive. So there's enormous need to be very sensitive to this and find imaginative ways of finding the right ways to bring more coherence where appropriate and collaboration where appropriate. For corporate actors in an affected country where a lot of their employees are victims it's always going to be an incentive, an understandable need to contribute. From the public standpoint there always has to be a clear communication to private actors that there cannot be any presumption of privileged access. Particularly in a crisis situation and particularly in disaster recovery and relief I think you should use everything available to you and yeah that means that you'll have to put some safeguards into place and you'll have to be aware that there are equities that people have. The more that the country can help will take the lead on designing the policy framework, the priorities, the short-term actions and then the medium long-term recovery and response and make sure that they can own it, they can articulate it to the people in their country and have the legal responsibility to and then find the means of partnership. There's no case that I've come across where that wouldn't be a good idea. Once you have a whole-of-the-government approach to things you get much, much better outcomes because you're able to call on all of the different skills that are arrayed before you and with all those skill sets you have all of the competencies and capabilities that you need to deal with any given set of circumstances.

We got our first job offer. That's right, you guys, your friendly neighborhood, YouTube, podcast, medical school, content creator is finally a few steps away from finally getting his first job. And in today's episode, I'm going to talk about a few steps that took along the way to not only get just one, but two job offers, as well as the lessons that I've taken since our very first episode of The Doc for Hire. So today's episode, I'm going to break down the steps that I took in between the first episode and today and explain how I went from interviews to actually getting a job offer, as well as the lessons I learned. Because to be completely honest, not many people share this part of the process. They essentially finish training and then they make a video or just share on Instagram how they had their first job as a fill in the blank. But I actually want to go through the both the struggles, the good and the bads of this process and the anxiety that comes from it, as well as excitement when you have your first job offer. So let's get into it. But really quickly, if you are new here, my name is Lex Trivedi. I'm an internal medicine physician and soon to be attending. And here we make content helping people just like you succeed on the medical journey but doing it with less stress.  And if you're listening on the podcast, follow and subscribe as well. So first, let's start with the process and a few things that I've learned, both good and bad. Number one is there's a lot of interviews to actually get your first job. My initial perception when applying for jobs would be that I'm gonna fill out an application, somebody's gonna probably call me or email me, see that we're probably a good fit and then call me in person or over zoom and say, yeah, you're like the guy for us and maybe do one or two of those. Instead, I found that most people will have one and interview with usually the recruiter who isn't a physician themselves. They just kind of been working to attract physicians to whatever group they've been. And that person is more so interviewing you to make sure that you're a good fit for them. And they don't always have that much information about like the group and how it works and salaries and things of that sort. Again, they're just kind of making sure that you're a check mark before you move to next step. So that's one interview. Most of those were done over phone call. Interview number two is usually with somebody important whether it be a head hospitalist or that's what position I'm applying for or kind of like the director of a specific location. And those varied because of COVID either have been done on Zoom or Microsoft Teams or via phone call. Now the few of the places I interviewed and applied for which I've done about four to five about three of them reached out for a more formal interview. Now one of them transitioned to going from in-person and going back to being another team's interview but it was still kind of a formal interview and the other two were in-person. So ultimately I ended up with five applications and three in-person interviews and two offers. Lesson number two is exact same position can have a variety of different definitions when it comes to job description. Now I'm applying for a position as a hospitalist which is an internal medicine doctor that works in a hospital and the main thing that you do is you admit patients, you discharge them and you usually work on a schedule about seven days on, seven days off. There's some variability but that's usually how it works. So in my head and my experience with residency is like, oh, I'm gonna be taking care of medicine patients and so many other problems but I didn't really think about issues such as post-surgery patients or surgical oncology patients or electrophysiology patients or working at a rehab center or working at a nursing home or an LTAC. These are paces that in residency I don't have too much experience with so I never really considered my role as a hospitalist to possibly also include those. And so as I interviewed and talked with various different groups I realized that my position could be really fluid depending on the group or you work here in the setting with these patients and that's kind of your role. And that brings me into lesson number three which is different expectations from different groups. Some groups for example, we're really excited to having somebody young like myself join their group to just give them a little bit of a different perception as they're trying to grow and improve their patient care. Others were looking at me or more of a we hope that you can figure out this process but we're gonna start you out small here. And then other groups that I interviewed at also just said, this is where we want you and this is where we hope you stay and there's not too much flexibility there.  Now the final lesson, if you made it this far into the episode is going to be the biggest key especially when it comes to you applying your job is that your network will truly be the reason that you get the job that you want. Out of the two offers that I have currently both of them are due to me getting the contact from somebody I know. For example, the first offer that I got last weekend was given to me from a mentor that had a medical school who knew somebody who used to work in Austin in a hospitals group and I got their email who gave me the contact of the recruiter who I sent their resume to. Again, I don't really know the third, fourth, fifth person down this chain but ultimately got to somebody who says your resume actually looks pretty impressive. Your training's been great. Let's consider bringing you in for an interview and then a snowball from there. Offer number two is the exact same thing. I knew somebody who's working as a doctor in the area I'm currently applying to. I asked them even though they weren't an internal medicine doctor if they could put me in contact with somebody else that they knew who was working as a hospitalist and they gave me an email, that person gave me an email, that person eventually put me in touch with a recruiter who I sent their resume to who eventually got me in touch with the medical director who I just had an interview with and that's the second offer. And so once again, compared to my initial perception where I thought I could just go on all the job boards online on like indeed.com and jobs.com, pretty sure that's a website and just apply for the jobs in the city that I'm looking for, I learned that that's not honestly the case at all. In fact, the places where I did actually apply through like a physical application or like a digital one, I never heard back from. And then that's probably just because they're just growing their pool until they need a doctor hire. But on the flip side, if you can manage to get the contacts of people who are in the decision-making shoes like a medical director, they may say, yeah, we are hiring, give me your resume and then they can make a decision from there. That's the exact reason why I was able to apply for four to five places and have two offers so far. Now, while getting a few offers is obviously very exciting, my wife and I are thrilled because we get to one, move back home, close your family and then two, how or choices of what type of job I want to take versus just taking the only offer I have on the table.  So let's break down the next steps. To step number one, both offers have given me kind of a timeframe of when I need to give an answer by, which is completely reasonable. If you are an employer, you want to essentially say, are you going to take this job or not and should I look elsewhere? So I have an X amount of time, a few weeks to essentially be able to evaluate the two contracts or two offers and saying this is the one I'm going to pick with. So the first thing I'm going to do is reach out to people who are currently working at both sites and essentially ask them, like, what do you like? What do you not like? And if I start to hear enough of things that sound amazing, as well as enough of the things that don't sound so amazing, I can make a better decision and contrast the two offers. And if I'm lucky enough to have a third and a fourth offer added to it, then I can do the same process with their employee. Now, once I have an idea of feedback from a variety of different hospitals from the different groups, step number two is to have a lawyer review both contracts and make sure that I'm not missing anything in the kind of the lingo of law that I just don't understand. And so that includes just having the lawyer say, you've seen enough of these contracts for the specific specialty for the specific role in the specific area. Am I getting screwed or am I doing really well? Like, what other type of things should I ask for? If anything, or is this a reasonable contract then should I sign it? And a few things you always have to consider are exactly what your job responsibilities will be in the contract because you don't want something to be written on page 48 of a 600 page contract. That's not that long, I promise. And not even know that that is something you were expected to do and no one mentioned it to you. Number two is how are you gonna be paid and how is it written in the contract to make sure that it's what you were told? And number three is not that you should be planning to ever leave a job, but if you were because you have to move, do your graphic reasons, your spouse got a new job or you just didn't actually fit with the role itself, what would be the process of leaving? How quickly do you have to tell them in advance is there a non-compete? Can you work in the same area in the same role? There's a lot of different things to consider and that's where a lawyer becomes really valuable money that makes sure that I'm making the best decision on the contract and the way that it actually should be looked at. Now, once I understand both the goods and the bads as well as have a lawyer tell me this all looks good, green light ready to go, then it's time for me to make a decision and commit. So hopefully by the time the next video comes around or maybe when this video goes live, I'll already have made that decision. And I'll be completely honest, both offers have pros and cons to it and there is a level of me that is excited but also a huge level of me now to be completely blunt about this that is very nervous because I've never been in the shoes. Usually it's people giving me an acceptance letter and you kind of just go with it, medical school, residency, undergrad or people giving you a score and that's kind of where you are but now you kind of have some choice and some control, some negotiations and I wanna make sure I make the best decision for myself and I'll regret it. And so the first few steps in this process are gonna be really exciting and really important but then when it's time to commit I'm just gonna be looking forward to next August and next September when I'll be working as a full-time physician. And then finally step number four is to get my Texas license. So currently I'm doing my residency in the state of Texas. That's where I plan on practicing for the rest of my upcoming life and so applying for a Texas license is a headache and that's kind of an understatement. There are loads and loads of forms that you have to fill out. I'm just gonna share a screenshot of different things that are on the Texas medical license kind of website. It's really confusing. In addition, it also costs like $800 plus just to apply to get your license and then more additional costs to pay for small things like fingerprinting and the test and it's a big headache. But before I can get credentialed at whichever hospital I choose to work with I have to get my Texas medical license and so that part is currently in process and rolling and I'm likely going to need more documentations that will require another week here, two weeks there, three weeks there. Things just start to linger and that pushes my start date as actual physician later on so quickly I can start now the easier it'll be when residency's over. So once again, learn about the good and bads, have a lawyer review my contract, make a decision, apply for the damn freaking Texas license and then enjoy the excitement of finally getting ready to start my first full-time physician job.

Captain Capron, and also Dana Hadley, kind of administrator, and Diane Isabel, town treasurer. Here a presentation from the Berlin Fire Department.  Joe had sent me the proposed project which should be in front of you. They go down and give the highlights and things like that. So Chief Dufresne sends his apologies. He got called into work with a building emergency at about four o'clock. He doesn't think he'll be able to make it tonight. So instead, I introduce myself and Deputy Chief Keith Reneiderstein for those that don't know me. And thank everybody who knows Jerry. So we've been working since October or so on this budget and completed it, passed it last night at our business meeting. The highlights are, let's see, communications is up on our expenditures. The primary reason for the communications being up is that section includes our dispatch with Capital West, Montpelier Police Department. They have an across the board every department increase of 9% to their dispatching fees for this next coming year. So that brought us from 43.5 up to 47,000 for what we have to pay to them. We also increased our purchase of radio equipment another $2,000 to $5,000 for our aging equipment there. The line that we started last year when the Budget Committee was working, we had talked about getting a contingency fund last year for unexpected expenditures such as if one of the trucks decides the pump wants to go south on us, that would be $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 repair right there. So we're starting up a contingency fund this year. We're funding it with $5,000 to start with. We have $8,000 in CDs that is already basically our contingency fund. So it's gonna make $13,000 for this next year. We are offsetting that by increasing the previous budget surplus from what we didn't spend in previous years to $20,000 instead of $15,000. So that levels that out. Overall, the total expenditures is $331,400. From the current year, which is the expenditures of $315,350, it's an overall 4.8% increase. The department itself is going from department portion income of $60,532, in this current year to overall $63,432. What that effectively means is the increase to the town portion is 4.9% instead of 4.8%. I'm probably looking at it, but I don't see the total amount of the town. The total amount to the town, yeah, last year it was 254.818, yep, and this year it's 267.968, town, high state, okay. That's what that means. So I'm Jerry Diamantidis and I am the town representative on the board. Have been now for two years, I think. If I may, a couple of comments on the budget. One is going back to last year, we spent half the year with a budget committee developing the budget that's the precursor to this. And this is a continuation of that previous year's budget process, if you will. It didn't take quite as long this year because we spent so much effort redesigning it last year. But there are a couple of things I'd like to point out. Operationally, day to day, it's an extremely lean budget. I mean, the equipment is well worn and I wanna make sure that you understand that the folks at the fire department really recognize that this isn't their money and they do a really good job operationally running the fire department from a fiscal perspective, I believe. But there are two things that I wanna point out and they're at the bottom of the expenditures, 20,000 for capital replacement and 5,000 for contingency. The capital replacement, basically the capital that we're looking at replacing is a truck. At some point, it's going to come to pass in the not too distant future. Some folks say two years, some folks say five years, maybe it's six, maybe it's three. One of those trucks is going to need to be replaced. One truck is 1989. Our two primary response engines is a 1993, which we bought new and a 1989, which we bought used. Which have been maintained extremely well all this time. But should it come to pass that one of those trucks needs to be replaced, it depends on how you do it. It could be $300,000, it could be $500,000. It's not gonna be $100,000. So we've started in the past couple of years to identify this capital replacement fund. Now, we're only putting $20,000 into it. And I would make the case here that that might not be enough. Because at some point, there's going to be a quarter of a million dollar need. Now, it's not gonna happen where you need it the same day, but it's gonna have to get made up in short order. And it may be prudent to put more money into this fund than we've allocated in this budget. And I just wanna bring that to the board's attention so that as you evaluate what you're looking at here, that this may be a little bit short-sided on funding the capital replacement fund that we have. How much is in that? Is available for that fund? We currently have 90,000 in it. And an engine, I was just looking in this past week, a brand new engine, which is the way we use engines, we should get a new one instead of a used one. And a brand new engine for the style and type that we use is around $450,000. The, in your expenditures, loans. Is that interest? Is that, what are the loans? The loans are, was it three years ago now? We purchased a brand new suite of the breathing apparatus, the air packs. And we financed it at the credit union across the street. And that is only the repayment of that loan. That's the annual cost. So that's principally an interest? Yes, yes. How much longer on that? You wouldn't have to ask me that. I was just thinking about that the other day and I believe it's three or four more years anyway. Just thinking about a lot of when that time comes that should be added to the capital visitor. That was our thoughts. Did we ever talk about the bond? Because there's been some huge numbers floated past us in other years. Bigger than what you're talking about. Oh, they can be big, yeah. And I thought we talked about a bond of some sort of that ever came up. Is that just me remembering it wrong? I think we'd have to figure something out. Right.   It's kind of hard to paint by the fire, that one. And I think we're doing the same thing trying to save money to our equipment. And we're in the same boat. We don't have enough money saved, but we all got it. There's a little bit of that pay me now or pay me later. Exactly, yeah. And to tell you the truth, I'm not sure which is more efficient if you floated a bond for the whole thing and hammer it down with bigger payments because you've already made the purchase or you scroll a little away because maybe someday, maybe we're going to need this money. And then it's half of what you need and now you've got a little of both going on instead of. And I think that's the road we're taking. We're taking a relatively light amount, but in line with the other line item expenditures, if you will. So it's not an annual big ticket item with the idea that it would be half as much of a bond as you might have to take out when the time comes. And apologies if you mentioned this already, but something that we saw last time was Diane looking at the lifespan of all of these equipment and us essentially paying what that would be broken up by year. So we're essentially paying the same thing every year. The five or 10 year plan, five year plan that you guys are working on, supposes that as well. It's just that as they're locking down that five year plan, we're at almost at the point where we need to start buying the big thing. So we have to sort of pass that first. And then once we do that, then we can look at budgeting that's going to be sustainable. And we probably, if we do it right, we probably won't have to have this big bite the next time around. But the other engine is gonna have to be replaced in six years. Yeah, you notice the numbers in 1989, 1993. The National Fire Protection Agency basically says frontline engines should be used for 20 years. We're past that. We'll pass the typical use of that. We've been able, we put off purchasing a brand new one by purchasing a used one six years ago, five years ago. Six or seven. Yeah, something like that. And that one served us well, but it's still, it's 1989 is what we purchased. So, yeah, we were talking about that Monday night. And my feeling is sooner rather than later, the two year timeframe, not the five year timeframe. The problem is by funding a, by having a capital fund that you can pay for this equivalent, you guys start funding the capital fund the day you buy the new truck. You're right. Well, that would be one way to do it. It's the opposite of depreciation. You do it from the other end and you're building up for when you need to replace. So tell me a little bit, why is new better than used? Are used just beat to death or? They can be pretty beat. The cost of, I was just looking at some of the used ones today on the market, 2005 or so used is about $100,000 compared to the 450 that's new. What are we gonna get out of an engine that's already 10 to 15 years old? We're gonna get another five to 10 years as compared to we can make a new one last 20, 25, 30 years. So, and the UCI, they could be really big. We've been lucky in both of what we got. We got our tower used from Hanover and they treated it very well and we got the other one used, I think from Hanover as well, and the engine and they treat their equipment well, so. So when you say used, you're not talking two or three years or you're talking 10 or 15 years? Yes, yes. Really used. Yeah, they don't have five-year-old used engines on the market. Yeah, who would sell it? It's not like a car. One of those companies that just went out of business on the bus, you know. But you would know if they were there, so. I had a question when Joe was here a little while ago, we had talked about the audit and that this is an audit year and we had also talked about the, maybe the town and the fire department could kind of share resources and we would include it. We're getting ready to release an RFP for audit services and I think now's the time should I include the fire department in that. We were talking about that the other day at the board meeting for the fire department and correct me if I'm wrong, we were, I believe it was pretty unanimous that that would be a good idea. That was a different thing. That was having Diana, Diane handle articles. No, no, there was that, but there was, we thought there was also a lot of people. We sent out an RFP for the audit and we've got one response at this time out of three. Father Yosemite Valley, who's the other one who hasn't given us a number back yet. Okay, well this would be, I think probably for next, starting next year if we do that. And I know you do them every other year on the odd years. Correct. But I just kind of visit that and refresh my memory of where we were on that. And the other thing I was gonna ask you about is the idea that Diane could do your accounting for you.  One of the other things is that goes back to the town doesn't go to somebody else, you know. We were, we talked about that Monday night and we were all quite favorable to having Diane do the books instead of an outside source. The question we had was, is it above the board enough? We thought, some of the people thought maybe we should talk to council and see what they think about that. And we do, one of the things that we were thinking is if she is doing the books, the audits would be included with the town at that time. So we wouldn't have to do an audit or reviews. Would that be the case? I don't think so. I think it would still be separate. But again, you bring a good point that is something I would ask legal to advise me on. And if you recall, the reason that the fire department is doing the audit was because the select board asked them to. I mean, it's best practices anyways, but if all of the books and all the finances are going to be sitting over here anyways. Yeah, I mean, I guess it would be a separate audit to a certain extent and that would be a separate account. I guess I'm just thinking that really the town shouldn't absorb the additional cost for the fire department audit. However, I think your economies of scale would make it more attractive. That's my opinion, so yeah. I think you have to have a separate audit. And an audit is really, I cringe every time the audit bill comes in because it's just always a lot. However, you're assuring your citizens that you're doing things directly. But even though it could be a separate audit in that case, including it in the same RFP. That's what I'm saying. That would be, I think you'd see an economy of scale. Exactly, that's what I'm thinking. You'd have a better pricing structure then. I think we should talk about, because you have to send one out. And maybe I'm premature asking you, but I just happen to think that so, but yes, we're gonna need to send one. I think we should talk about that because we really didn't get satisfactory responses to the RFP as far as we were concerned. We were hoping for three responses. We got one with one saying they're gonna give us a response at this time. So, now who did, was that Father Gil? Father Gil was the one who hasn't given us the response back. That's who we're using at the moment. I think by having a county in-house, it sort of links them together. Because sometimes in the past, we've needed information and needed information. We're available anytime you want us to talk to us. It's all right, in-house. It would just go from her separately. Right, and rather than going to our outside company, and I think it would be more seamless that way, too. And, yeah, I mean, it would be separate. You'd have to have some sort of separate, you know, module. But the source would be, you know. Right, right. It'd be like the water division, the sewer division. Same, same, yes, you're right. But this handled differently, obviously, because you're a private entity. Right, right. So let's keep talking and let me know. Yes. Let's move over. I'd like to help you. I'm not trying to foreign in-ski, am I? Do you know the deadline for getting the fire department numbers to post-marry so that they can get on the ballot? I don't. It's mid-January, I believe. That would have to be in the morning. I can certainly get that date. But I don't anticipate you'd have too much. I remember writing it's January 20th. Yeah. I think I got some numbers, you know. Maybe you should work here. Yeah. Yeah. She has to have it so many days in advance. You said the communications went up 9% but you only went up 70% on the ballot. Yes, that was what we did is it was a little bit rounded on this current year's budget and that changed the number from 9% to something. You were able to do that, yeah. What do you do with the, how does the carryover work? I should know, but in other words, are you saying here that you had 20,000 left over from the operating budget last year? Is that what you're saying? That's the surplus. Yeah, we had a surplus for the last couple of years combined with that rate for 20,000 we were able to apply. We, on a standard, have put 10,000. So we have a baseline in the account. We have a standard of 10,000 that we carry over from one year to the next year to the next year. We thought that fine balance. So the $20,000 that was left over in the budget sound like broken record, back to you going back to your loan. If we could have some fund balance left over and pay that loan off, then take the 30 grand, start putting it in the capital budget. So you're actually putting 55,000 a year in. You'd look pretty good in three or four years towards the trunk, because all it's on my mind without increasing your budget. So get rid of all that interest. Right, right, right. Enroll, but don't reduce your budget, just add it to the capital budget. Add it to the capital budget, correct. Deal with the debt before you start stocking money when it's not earning any interest. Exactly. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. So I'm just looking at that, saying, if you had a carry or a fine balance again this year, you probably could just about wipe that debt out. That's all. Mm-hmm. And then you could start stocking away 50 grand a year. Good advice. Noted. Is this ready to go to Rosemary now or do you anticipate any other changes? We don't anticipate any other changes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We'll be in touch. All right, thank you. Jeremy, would you please? See, are you the leader of this day? Danyan, this is for you. Why don't you just, I didn't hand it to you. No, you're not good to see that. All right. Yeah, you're just too deposit. Yeah. Thanks, Jeremy. Sure thing, Jeremy. Good night. Good night. Good night. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, thanks very much. No, they spent, it wasn't me. I came out the very last meeting. They spent a lot of time doing, forecasting, like looking at five years. That's not something that they've done in the past. And Joe isn't here, but it was Joe's vision to make sure that that's something that we're doing. And then Jerry actually taking, essentially taking that responsibility for doing that five-year plan. That was just like Joe said, this is what we need to do. Jerry said, I'm on it. Yeah, because we just heard story after story and didn't get information. It didn't get information. Actually, I started to tell them how much nicer it was and thought about it. My first time I remember they came in, basically with no paper. They said, you know, we need three-and-a-half dictionary wheels. What does water mean? Does it have a good one in the A or no? They did a very nice job. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, okay. The administrative budgets. Yes, I guess I'll start with the income or the estimated revenues. And again, this is always something that my modem is always to kind of try to go low and when it comes in more happy. If I'm too high, then I'm not happy. But we are projecting an additional $18,350 this year. I guess maybe some of the... Some of it's the pilot. Bigger changes. Is the pilot is more than what we had expected in previous years. So we did raise the pilot. And most of that is the pilot that's been increased. I can go over these if you want to listen to me talk or there's nothing other than that that I, that would really have done it too exciting. The pilot that's passed an FY19 pilot is $193,000. That was received for pilot, which is really good.  But so far, you know, it's been good the last three years. And our revenues were last and at the end of 18. Do you remember what they were as far as increased over what we had projected? Well, this was $192,000 or something. Something like that. Yeah, $193,000. Yeah, so. And this year's $193,000. Yeah, so that was. Did the pilot was due to the hospital? No, yes, part of this due to the hospital. As far as the psychiatric hospital? Oh, that was the beginning. That's what I was thinking as always, you know, and of course, the other buildings that they have here, too. And that varies with the state. And they have a formula of what they have. And so we now really know what we get. But the last few years have been pretty generous, I will say. With the state. And they've been living up to the contract? Yes, the $25,000. And the contract for the state due to $25,000 they have. Yeah, I do have contact there. And what I do now is I build them in May of each year. And the last two years has worked out well. Does the dispatch part of that agreement ever come into play? I mean, that just sort of bypasses us, right? We don't. It doesn't. They're still doing it for free. And so it's a good benefit for the town. We don't really have less than 20 years. 20? Yeah. And how you looked up, I think, it was Barry Towns' dispatch for just police is about $87,000. But I mean, look at what the fire department's paying. So we really say. What the neighbor said? Yeah, that was a shock. We got that number on Monday night. Yeah. I mean, that's quite interesting. And there's not that much that you can do at the fire department level over here to complain about it. So the dispatch is really very significant. Oh, yeah, yeah. Even though we don't see it in our books. Then we've had it before for some other reason. That's a free dispatch for the police. Because we asked for it. I think that was through, yeah, I can remember that. But ambulance, that's their problem. And fire officers, they're wrong. So we really don't have, we never paid for it for quite a while. Well, we've been paid for a part of that. Right, for a part. No police, no ambulance. Well, you pay for the ambulance one, too, because you pay the police. But I mean, as you said, I just said that's a lie to us, no. I wonder if that is, isn't that on the budget term of the talk? Barrett Town? That the ambulance contract, yes, we need to talk. We need to have a discussion on that. Well, that's for later tonight. What's the surgeon's zoning revenue? I see 22,000 room. We had 22,500 when we had 7,500 budgeted. Licenses of fees, which page? Yeah, zoning. Are you talking zoning? We're 10,000 now? You talking about the budget? No, no, no, I mean, I see that the budget, we just level funded it, or level earmarked it there. But the actual for fiscal year 2018 is almost three times. Well, and you know, and that's a good thing in that we got, we received more than what we expected. And he's talking about the expenses? He's talking that we received 22,563, rather than as compared to we only, well, last year we only anticipated 75. I think they might have, did they raise your fees a little? They raised, well, that was a couple of years ago, but I think we did not realize we were going to have the activity that we had, was one reason why. And I think we're going to also be able to bring in more than 10,000 and FY 19. But again, it's conservative. Sure. And we had, I mean, we had several accounts that we brought in more than what we had budgeted for income, which is I think a good thing, rather than the other way around. The expense side of things, the administrative budgets have an increase of $47,000. Again, in these budgets are salaries, which were set at 2%. And I guess I'll point out some of the highlights, other than the salaries and the fixed costs that we, again, the pension and the insurances, we still do not have the insurance figure from a legion, from the health insurance. It won't until the fiscal year. So we will not have that until July. OK, I'm going to keep asking you that, because I never remember that. It's not the calendar year. The BLCT is the calendar year. And the health insurance bill. So we're, again, what we're doing, what we always do is just kind of have our best guess in that. We have decreased the telephone line. I'm happy to tell you in that the phones that we have now are paid for. So we have as a service to pay for. So that's saving us $2,500 for the year. Who's longer on that contract? It's the contract ends December 18th. And it's just going to, we're going to be per month. I don't think we can do any better any other place. So we own the phones now. Yes. That was the biggest cost to get a, to go back. Several people said to me, can we go back to land lines? And that the cost to do that was just under $15,000. There's a lot of voice over IP phone providers out there. There's not just this group, which we did not really have a wonderful experience with, at least on the cost. I think that's improved. The salesman, I would agree, is not, but I've kind of bypassed him. And so I think we've had some good response and getting the phone system so that it does what we want. There is an apartment that would like the phone system to wash the floors, but it just doesn't. Should we put that up to bid again? You know, I don't think I'd recommend it because right now I don't think you're going to do any better financially wise. And it's serving, it really, I think, works other than when the internet goes down, which is a pain in the neck. Or our server has a blip or something. I mean, obviously, that's the problem. But no, I don't think that's going to, I just don't think we'd really benefit that much from it, Brad, to do it. I would certainly do it if the board told me to do it. But I don't think so. Basically, a thankful license, at this point. I mean, yeah, it's the software. It's the monthly fees. Just the monthly, you know, all the little things that it does for us in each individual. We've jumped through all the hoops, so we're starting. But there's a lot of companies that go to write that service. Yeah, and there are. That's very cheaper, really. Let's see, meetings and elections, that has gone down because we only have one election in this budget.  Right. The, I'm just thumbing to make sure I don't. Oh, OK. Well, the ambulance service is up $10,000. We're going to talk about that later. But we have budgeted using the figure for the next fiscal year. The ambulance service, and I always have to think about this. We have, they're basing it on 2,847 citizens. Seven-eighths of that is assigned to Barrie Town. So 25, 26 times $36.15. It's about $91,004 of Barrie Town. And then Northfield is the remainder of the citizens. And Dianne, remind me what it was for. You know, we're making a guess at $28. Right. And that's maybe low, but we're hoping that would be out. And I'm hoping to hear a more firm figure from Jeff one of these days. So right now we're budgeted. So that's up from $90,600 to $101,423 based on our figures. We had put into the capital budget. The capital budget is actually down $85,000. But what we don't know is what you want us to put in highway equipment and structures. We used $172,000 based on Dianne's spreadsheet that she talked about a couple of weeks ago. And that's budget. Again, that's not a firm number. That's what we felt was a good number to put in there for now. We had the traffic lights last year of $25,000. This year we have $10,000 in there. And that is for anticipation of having to replace the server. We've got $15,000 in there. $10,000 that would be for the server. And then the other $5,000 we said would be $15,000. Yeah, the capital budget is $15,000. OK. And so $10,000 at the server, $5,000 was doing a building study that you were talking about. That's right. And again, this is thinking in the future. I don't think any of us would really qualify, or I'm not qualified, to really plan for the future for the building. The building is going to have to be addressed at some point. It's not going to happen next year or the year after. And I'm probably not going to see it. But I think it might behoove us to start thinking about a committee to work on the building and also maybe having some professional help to draft up some plans for the building. That does not have to happen this year. There are, obviously, we're bursting at the seams. But it works, such as it is. Over years, there's been patches here, patches there. And I think it would make more sense to have someone put it together and knows what they're doing. So basically, it has to make a feasibility study with some sketches and some square footage planning as to what you really need for a building. I agree. That's what I'm thinking. And I'm not even sure if it's going to be this building. I mean, I'm just wondering how is the mall coming in with their plans on that? The mall, the town-centered designation is really ramped up now that our plan is approved. And zoning is going to the voters in March, our zoning plan. And to be, we're assuming it's going to be approved. I'm also talking about that in a little bit, too. So there's a lot of plans going on in the mall. And as far as you know, the gentleman came in a couple of weeks ago and talked about the assisted living facility that's going there. There are a few other things, I think, on their plate. I think they're really actively working on the town-centered designation. It's looking with things in place. Everything's getting more and more in place. We've been meeting every two weeks with my rushman, Tom and I. And I think it's been a lot longer than we thought it was going to be. I think it's starting, but I think we're moving forward. And again, that is one idea of having town offices over at that mall, having them. The only issue is the vault. Well, I mean, again, and that's why we'd have the feasibility study. I see a lot of them. The vault. It's sure to move that vault. I mean, obviously, you need to be able to get into the vault. I mean, yeah, the clerk would have to have somewhere to store records that was met all the requirements. I think what you'd be asking for for NIRP is a space plan. OK, thank you. And what they do is they figure a number of people, a number of offices, a number of restrooms, and they come up with the total square footage. Then they'll do a few sketches for you showing you different right processes. How much money's in the Equipment Fund now? In the Equipment Fund right now? OK, we have. You're talking, like, from? That was the one we budgeted for last year. The first year we budgeted. Yeah, I gave you something there to give you a little bit. So 157.712 is actual for 2018. So is that what we carried in there? Let me look at that for you so I can refresh my memory here. That is what we actually have spent. That's what we spent on the truck, on that new truck. Yeah, and that was in the 18 budget. You're looking more at 233.196. OK, out of that 233.196, right now we have 138.7 left. But that is for? Well, we have front of the money for the culvert. And so that's where that came from. And we will be getting, I anticipate, that our total cost for the Merrill Lake Road culvert is in the $35,000 range, which I guess means that we have. And we have to talk about the excavator at some point. But it should mean that we have something like $190,000 left. I would say that at the absolute anticipation. But right now, for the Merrill Lake culvert, we have 144,583 that we spent. We know we're going to spend more. And even despite the fact that we have a grant on this one, we have Richardson Road to contend with. We're not going to get a grant. So if we've already spent this much on Merrill Lake, what do we spend on Richardson Road? Well, you're going to get 90% of that back from the grant. But how much is the Merrill Lake project going to be in all, do you think? We have not gotten the, I should know that, because we did bid the thing. And I can't remember what it would be. But just Richardson Road's going to be more, right? I'm not sure of that. We haven't gotten the engineering finished on that. So I guess that's my point, is I don't know how much of this 233 we should be holding for Richardson Road or, you know, obviously we'll be spending $30,000 on this. We have a few things going with that line. Richardson Road and then what we're going to do about the excavator problem. That's what's going on in the back of my head. Yeah, yeah. So when we're talking about how much we should fund next year. We may have to not do Richardson Road in 19 if we have to, depending on what we do with the excavator. Is that at a risk of collapse or failing? Because that's a much bigger problem if that one fails the Merrill Road. Yes, because you always can hire, if you need an excavator, you always can hire one or have someone come and do a move a culvert or something like that. Is it ready to collapse? No. However, it needs attention. And the longer we wait, of course, the worse it is. And we had talked earlier about slip lining. I was told the other day that they would not allow us to slip line. And I will have John Grenier come in to talk to you about that when he is ready to do that. I guess it is. I'm not thinking it's going to be, and maybe I'm a little too optimistic, but I don't think it's going to be at the same level that Merrill Road was. Well, it's not as big. What do you think? It's a big culvert. Two culverts or just one? It's one big one. And I can't tell you how big, but it's pretty big. And I was there with the hydrologist last fall, and he thought that we didn't need one quite that big. Again, that's our look at the engineer. It's not the cost of the culvert. It's the putting it in that's expensive. If there's an eight footer in there now, probably better off just keep it eight because it costs less to put the air in than it does to put gravel in. So we have that cost that we don't know what it is, and hopefully maybe we'll have a little better idea before we finalize the budget. The excavator was total. We're going to get $37,000 from the insurance. We had talked a little bit about putting an RFP. We think maybe a used machine would be the way to go, perhaps. Diane found the invoice from the current excavator that we purchased in 2010. That was a purchase price of $75,000. It had 403 hours on it when we bought it. I mean, it was on it, and then I asked that too. You did, and I don't. I can't. I think so. 4,000 hours. That's 360 hours a year. Yeah. And I think that you had mentioned in the RFP that you were thinking of maybe having an excavator with 250 hours. Is that the good thing? Well, the reason that 250 came up is the one that him wanted had 250 hours. Oh, OK. That's where the 250 came up. OK, that's why I have it in my head, which is 250 hours a lot of hours a year. I don't think so, is it? 3,000 to 4,000 is not that much. I mean, I'm trying to think, I think one grader when they traded or sold it at 14,000 hours a day. So Tim had the salesman had this great deal that we could at least purchase and so forth. But again, we're trying to kind of stay away from doing things like that for committing ourselves to five years. Well, it'd be nice if we could find a used excavator with 1,000 hours on it and buy it for $80,000 and take the $35,000 worth of insurance money and pay the rest out of the capital. That's all that I was thinking. I was trying to see if there was enough money there for that, plus the risk of smoking. Maybe not quite, but maybe we can. We do have an equipment fund. I don't know what that has in it. The reserve fund, I'm thinking of it, doesn't have that much in it, does it? You're talking like the highway? Yeah. It doesn't have, I don't have that right here. Oh, no, I didn't think to ask you, sorry. Still, we're talking maybe 20,000 there. But we could spend it, obviously. Right, I'm just saying what would help towards, so maybe it might be close, but maybe we could do something. I guess where I was going with all that is should we change this. The government funded $200,000, so we could have enough money to do an excavator. That's where I was going with that. So instead of 172, bring that to 200, which, yeah. It brings it back to the 2018 level. Well, did you want to change the RFP so that we can put it up to five more hours? No, that's what I'm saying. I think that we could get an RFP for a size machine with up to 1,000 hours on it. Well, again, the question was the warranty, too. Right. And I think once you get over 500 hours, you're probably going to find any warranties, but... 250 is, well, that's just a demo unit. Exactly. And I think that's what that John Deere was, was a demo unit. So we could say less than 500? Yeah. Five or less? Yeah. And see what we get, but if we increase that line out into $200,000, we should have enough money after we get reimbursed for Mirror Lake or an excavator and a culver, as I'm thinking, without having to find the culver. Would you like us to change that to $200,000? I'm asking everybody's opinion about that. So I think it's... I think it's... Good idea. Good idea. Can you put out your RFP for the excavator, you and it's 500 hours, you can take it, say it has to have a certain warranty with it. Yeah. Then we'll just add that into a cost machine. Right. It doesn't seem like we spent all that much as far as repairs to the excavator if incorrect before this time period. No. No, we really... I mean... That really doesn't have that many hours. Well, Donald's got a 390 get-up, how are we going to set up a commentary? I saw that the other day. He's got a 7-year deal with me. I mean, the other thing is... I think we have... Money's got to hire people. They have to tear it apart a little bit if we have to. I think I don't think we need to hire people. It'd be hard to put a culver in with that. I think we'd have to raise that line. Yeah. So I guess that's the administrative cycle, once you have any questions that we can answer or any other suggestions. There is one new computer in there, it's for me. Otherwise, now all the other computers were replaced, this one I've been building anyways in the last two years. The next to the oldest after that is... Right. Yeah, mine's the oldest. Yours is the oldest. Mine is the oldest.  Five or six. Yeah. Probably six years old. Yeah, I've been here four or so. Yeah. The zoning telephone item went up by quite a lot. It's like six miles by a lot. Percentage, right? 650 to 1200. That is Tom's phone because I think we're putting more of his cell phone on that. Yes. Yeah, we're putting Tom's cell phone on that. Yeah, right now, I guess our cell phone, he's using, we're putting against highway, you know. Sorry, I'm doing it differently. I'm trying to refresh my memory, Jeremy, bear with me while I look and see what I'm talking about here. I'm not sure why that's 1200. I'm gonna look into that. That seems high to me. Maybe not? I don't think so. 100, yeah, probably not, $100 a month. Okay. All right. Yeah, we can put it in. It looks big as you look at it, but if you put it over, look. Yeah. You're right. You're right. No, and is that on the same plan as any other town cell phones? You know, we really should bring them on the same plan. I don't know if it would save us money, but it would be easier for us because right now it's AT&T. Okay, the AT&T plan we have is for municipalities, just to make you aware. Okay. Because when we have to replace the phone, we can't just go to AT&T. We have to go through the service and we have to call them. Because we do get a special price. Bless you. But the reason that we're with AT&T is that Tim says he doesn't. It was Tim because his phone is also, he doesn't have, he can't get service on Verizon at his house, which is why. Because Tom doesn't care one way or the other. No. And the police department has Verizon. Verizon with the state, the state recommends everything to. Right, yeah. I just think, I mean, I have three lines for less than a hundred. I mean, obviously it's a different sort of account. Well, they have actually three lines. There's two for highway and one for Tom. But all together, it should be less than, I mean, that's my instinct anyways. Well, I think it's because of the data. Well, then it's the data. How much of the data do they use? Oh, I mean, I guess I could look in the bills, right? I could certainly get it for you, Jeremy, but I don't bear quota. This is, is there an AT&T bill? Not in there. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's right. Let me, I will email you, Jeremy, okay? Okay, thanks. When you're talking about data, you're just talking about files and stuff, not just talking. No, not talking, not texting, just any time they download it and check the news or look at the internet on their phones. Right, that's what I was just thinking. No, that was what I wanted to look at. I don't remember seeing that in the bills that it was too terribly high, but. I think that we're paying for a level, but maybe we're different at using, which is interesting. I was thinking it was $45. Just for that one. They don't all three have it, but Jim has it. The main phone, it's kind of a plan that the main phone pays more and then the others are less. So that's it for the budget meeting. Yeah. Most of it's close to that. I want you to go during the budget meeting. All in favor? All right. Wrigley scheduled select board meeting for the time of the order for Thursday to December the 6th. To my far left is Pete Kelly. My left is Wayne Lamberton. To my right is Jeremy Hansen, Angelina Capron. And with us also is Dana Hadley, our town administrator, and Diane Isabel, our town trader, and I'm Brad Town. And we will start with additions or changes to the agenda data. Yes, I'd like to add the discussion for the Recreation Department snow blower. In public comment, hearing none, Treasurer's Report Diane. Okay. The audit is rocking now, finally. And it's supposed to be done by December 1st, but it's not quite done yet. I'm anticipating with the next week or so, because after that we do want to have the auditor come in and do the presentation. I haven't heard anything good, bad, or indifferent. I'm sure there will be a few entries to make, but beyond that, I haven't really heard anything. We're not aware of any issues or... No. Okay. So we have bills. So we'll move to the ordinance of abuse of town roads for snowmills and ATVs. Sure. You print out this so they can just read it when they do the policies. I don't know yet. Thank you. I'm gonna find this soon as she gets over it. Okay. On the ordinance for the town, use of town roads. I think that you've had a few public hearings. You've had several people that have given you their input on different issues. I have not written the ordinance because I'm waiting for the board to either approve it or not approve it. As far as use of the roads. And as far as use of the roads. And so I guess that's where I am. Just waiting for the board is going to say yes or no. And then what further stipulations would be in the ordinance. Again, we'd have to... What about this one? Well, how would you like to do it? No, I mean, what you said is right, but I think we should have attacked it a little bit differently. Probably. So I guess what it comes down to is how does the board feel about allowing use on certain roads in the town? So that the ATVs and the snowmobillers can get there, see if they can get there, and the trail system is set up. So I guess what it comes down to is, do we want to do this or not, or do we want to take in limited use or just have an idea of just what roads were allowed them to use? When you say that, it means that we'd bypass the ordinance, but we would give... Well, what we should have done was we should have put the ordinance in first and then did the roads. So what we're doing is the ATV, and the clubs wanted to know if we would allow it, and we weren't sure when we were the others, so we started kind of on the backside of it. So why don't we start it the right way? It can be an ordinance that lets us then... Fill the ordinance. Well, I think what the ATVers are looking for is, or the snowmobillers, the clubs are, is will we allow the use of certain roads in the town of Berlin? If we do, then they can go and get their trail system put in. If we don't, then they're basically out of luck. So what we're doing, I think what we're trying to do here is just to allow the heaven of all, to allow the teleclubs, yes, we will allow use, or no, we will not. And that is where we're kind of at right now. But I think just another little input on that. When this all came about, it was mainly just to get the snowmobile trail back open, and then we kind of got attacked by the ATV clubs, and they wanted to join in and have like a dual trail going through. And I was like, I was kind of skeptical with that at first, because I knew we were gonna run into some roadblocks with it, but really mainly just trying to get the snowmobile trail through there. I understand that the ATVs, there's a whole different issue. That's a whole different issue, and Vast doesn't really want to have a lot to do with the ATV club. But with the snowmobile club, it would only really be open. You can only ride the snowmobile trails from December 15th to April 15th, and that's weather permitting. Sometimes you're not on the snowmobile trails until late January, and then you're done in March. So it's really only like a couple month time period. Well, it's like everything is weather dependent. It's all weather dependent. And I understand the skepticism on the ATVs, I really do. It's a whole different situation right there. That's more like year round, in the spring when it's muddy out. Snowmobiles, it's only when there's snow on the ground. So the other thing I question about if we were, well, we're not gonna do it that way, I guess, but if we were to vote on an ordinance first, that would be another 60 days or another. Would we revisit that later? Well, if we take it, we still have to take and go through the ordinance process. So basically, I think tonight is just to let the snowmobile clubs know one way or the other if they can use the roads. Specific roads? Specific roads. In this area, in just sections of the roads, and how can I go up the whole Brookfield road? Right, what we've talked about there. So I guess the motion I'll be looking for is, are we gonna allow use of some of the roads, or are we gonna not allow use of some of them? So I guess one thing that I'd be interested in here and how everybody feels about it is, there is a section of road here that without it, they can't build a trail anywhere. And that is from the Colvert. In the Shed Road. Yeah, at the In the Shed Road under the interstate to Berlin Pond Road. And if we're not gonna give them the ability to use that piece of road, they can't have any trails, because they can't cross the interstate in the other way. So, I mean, I'm in support of allowing that. But I think, you know, they've got some work to do to figure out the rest of their trails. Yes. But I mean, if they knew that they could use that 1,000 feet approximately of road, then they could go out and get to work and see if they could get permission from Landowners to build the trail. Yep. So, we would give them permission to do stuff to being able to obtain permission from the whomever. And that would only have to be the snowmobile, but it would only have to be during snowmobiles. If you could say, listen, we don't really want ATVs on our roads, snowmobiles don't be okay from December 15th to April 15th on these sections. But I wouldn't like to be able to ride my ATV over to Marks House and stuff, you know. That's up to the police and if they're gonna enforce anything like that, you know. Well, I agree with Wayne, we should give them, but we shouldn't squelch the possibility of them finding trails on private property. If we allow them 1,000 feet or whatever it is. Crosstown Road on the west side, I have to help the intersection of Pinterpike South over to the culvert, the middle of the culvert. It's approximately across, directly across from Sheppard. Well, the dry hydrant is, that's what we're gonna get on the road. So we'll say from the dry hydrant to the intersection with Pinterpike South. I mean, we've gotta go through the ordinance process to do that, that's gonna be too late for the snowmobile season. It's too late at this point anyways, we know it was gonna take place. But by passing this ordinance it'll give you guys a year to try to go and knock on doors and try to get a trail. Basically, that's the way I look at it. I think that that's, without that piece, they can't do anything. The other thing I wanted to question actually for the snowmobile folks is that if they do get permission from other people, does this require a renewal every year? They do the forms that past have, they have yearly ones and they have until people, like the town could sign one, until you don't want us to use it anymore. This is on an, it's usually a yearly basis, but we try to get permission forms until they say no. So it would stay open until they want you to leave. Just, there's actually nothing going to knock on the doors every year if you know, could the 50 property version of it? I'm just thinking. The ordinance is however you want to word it, yeah. I would take probably, for the town at least, that section of road should be yearly. I want to make a motion to go forward with the ordinance allowing for use by snowmobiles of town roads, specifically, I guess, I don't know if this is correct, but specifically approximately 1,000 feet of road on Crosstown Road from the Tri-Hydrate to Turnpike South for snowmobiles only. So I guess we'd need to go and do an ordinance before we can actually approve that section. Yeah, but basically you're saying you want to take in and let them know that we're going to do that. So it's a signal. And with a yearly... Rural. Rural, yeah. I'll prepare that for your next meeting, but I'll send it to you before because I want to make sure it's worded correctly. That'd be more clearly defined in the ordinance. We can also look back at what we had before, and I think there's also model ordinances. Oh, I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried about making sure I got the dry hydrant and the wet side of the road and, you know. You know, if you look at other towns, what other, because it vases in every town, and it's in the city of Vermont, you can look what agreements they have with other towns as well. But define what we're talking about. I mean, I can do all the right. I can even get some of that information for you, Dana, if you need it. Thank you, Josh. You don't need to. I'll do it. Yeah. So... We probably have enough to do. Here's a second. I'll show you soon. Wait a second. Okay, so now we can still continue the discussion. Is there any other discussion on it? I don't think that this ruffles anybody's feathers. I think you're right. I think that if there's going to be any connection between trails, it has to happen here. I still personally don't think that Brookfield Road and Black Road are good options for a number of reasons, but this doesn't consider that. Okay. Any other discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor? Aye. Those opposed? Portion carries. No, you just got right the importance data. Beautiful. That's it. Jimmy, did you sign this? No, I guess you did. Yeah. You're going to see a thing in the report form. Do you have a piano or something? Thank you. I got a piano. If it was left for the price, they were trying to get rid of the piano or something. Okay. And a little while. Yeah. At least you've got nothing more to do with that. That would be it. It was one of the conditions of sale. Can you renewal of the ambulance contract, Dana? The ambulance contract expires June 30th of 2019. And in the contract, we were given an option to extend the contract for an additional two years. And we need to notify Barrie Town if we're going to do that before January 1st. What's the step in the increase? That's right here. We're going from 30, I'm sorry, I'm looking at the wrong line. 33.79 per capita. And that's considering 2500 people, 2526 to 3615 per capita for FY20. And the following year, FY21 goes to 3868. So this year it's going up a little over $2.50 and the same for the following year. So it's about $6,000 a year, an increase. Yes. Over the next two years. And this decision is for two years, it isn't, you know. There's no option for just doing one year, no. I will say that they have given us very good service. We, last time we put this out to bid, Barrie Town was the only bidder. I move that we enter into a contract extension with Barrie Town and bills. Second. Any further discussion? So as long as we're extending the contract that was here, we're not required to follow the RFP process? No. No, because you had, we had. Agreed to the two-year extension. Which we had to take care of that in the last contract. We agreed to think about it. Yeah. Okay, any other questions? All those in favor? All right. Those opposed, motion carries. I will let Barrie Town know your three sets of minutes. Yeah. I'm trying to find the problem. Okay. I'm looking at it here. Did you? Yeah, mine ends. Mine ends. Right after the Barrie Town ambulance agreement. I sent you two packets this time. And as I added the Barrie Town ambulance, so probably should have just redone the whole thing. Okay. Monday on the idea at the time. There you go. Yeah, there's a name. A couple of days left. Monday, October 5th. Oh, earlier, earlier. All right, I just looked at it. Kind of a administrator. On the October 15th one, in the long, long narrative with the public hearing, just a name spelling correction down in the fourth from the bottom line, this is Jerry Diamantidis. It's of the J. Thank you. Rather than the G. I'm impressed. I can't even say his name, I don't want to spell it. Jerry. Yeah. Motion on those, move to approve the minutes for the October 15th and 18th select board meeting with the previously noted change. Second. In the other discussion, all those in favor? Aye. Motion carries. We'll do a lot of housekeeper tonight, David. Yeah. The Thursday, November 1st, minutes. Another name correction under public hearing. Third line down, this is Shea Miller. Shea is called S-H-E-A. Thank you. I missed that meeting, didn't I? I thought you did, so let me check into it and I will correct the agenda. You're going to stay here, really? Yeah. I think we're doing okay. Any other changes to that? All those in motion to pass? Move to approve the November 1st, 2018 select board minutes with the previously noted change. Second. Any other discussion on those? Hearing none, those in favor? Aye. Those opposed, motion carries. And the minutes for Thursday, November 29th. The time is wrong on that one, I'll fix that. What's that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, so. Motion on those? So moved. Hear a second? Okay. So moved. That's good. Good to see you. Any other discussion on those? Hearing none. Okay, hearing no other discussion, all those in favor? Aye. Those opposed, motion carries. And approval of licenses, permits, vouchers. Move to approve general fund accounts payable warrant number 19G11 checks 18662 to 18711 in the amount of $224,130.98. Also, Northfield savings payment NSN 19-16 in the amount of $5,970.53. Also payroll warrant number 19-11 for payroll from November 11th, 2018 through November 24th, 2018 in the amount of $49,588.05. Second. Any further discussion? Hearing none, those in favor? Aye. Aye. Those opposed, motion carries. Town Administrator, report data. Sure. I think I told you what I know about the downtown designation. Speaking about the zoning approvals, the select board is going to need to hold a public hearing on the zoning updates. And we have tentatively chosen January 10th to do that, which is not irregular meeting night. Planning board needs to have two, you need to have one. And so that's Thursday the 10th. Washington County has a pre-budget meeting on July for the fiscal 20 budget, which will be next Thursday at 10 o'clock at the County Clerk's Office. I mentioned the Christmas party, college party. We have, we're going to be working with the state, Vermont, towns, all their parcels are being mapped by through a state, actually it's highway money through the state. And it's taken over three years. Berlin is on the third year of the project. So that will be happening in 2019. I think it's going to save us some money in our mapping department. And that is an expensive thing to keep our maps up to date. So that will be happening. Town center has spoke to you about, we still, we still, I'm still waiting for some more information on the police department doors. And we are going to be putting out an RFP for the hazard mitigation plan. We do have funding for that. Next week I'll be going for training for emergency management for administrators, as well as Diane, Rosemary and Corinne. We had spoken some time ago about rewriting the animal control ordinance. And basically it was because of the fines in there of how we can have them as revenue. So I will be doing that as well. So that's really all I have tonight. Your addition. My addition is the snow blower that the recreation department uses to clear the snow from the rink is dying a noble death and needs to be replaced. Tom Willard went out and got three quotes on a snow blower. The money would come out of the recreation fund. We have three, one from Tucker machines for 1999, 1999. And these are all, what's that? What make are they? This one is a Toro Power Max. Look at that. I don't understand that better than I do. John Deere has given him one for Honda HS. And Tom tells me these are all comparable machines. $3,029. And Sears, a Sears machine for 1799,99. I asked him to get three quotes as per our policy for purchases between 1,000 and 5,000. This is the one I used to have. Yeah. The Honda is really nice, a lot of power in there. The Sears are so expensive. Yeah, yeah. Roodle. Their beauty machine. I have the one that the Sears, yeah. I'm just gonna say that I would move to approve the machine from Dockers only because they can fix it. I think Tom also said that to me, that he, you know, they take care of that. There's probably nothing wrong with the Sears machine, but who are you gonna call? Right. So does that stay just here? It is just here. Yeah. They store it out in the shed. So it should last like a while. 1,999,99. I'll make a motion that we buy the snowblower from the funds, from the recreation fund, from Tucker machine for 1,999,99. Second. Thank you for the discussion. Hey, what, what do you want? I'm not gonna run it. It's just a ring. Yeah. I got one note to my John here, so I'm gonna have to do that. All those in favor? Aye. Those opposed? Motion carries. If you need to convene the liquor control board, you'll have to recess the select order that you do with the control board. Second. All those in favor? Aye. I have application for a catering permit for Cornerstone Puffin Kitchen. We've approved them many times. We know them. It's for a party to be held at the Northfield Savings Bank on December 13th. Move to approve the catering license for Cornerstone. Second. What's this for, anyway? It's a Northfield Bank's Christmas party. President's party at Northfield Savings Bank. I got invited, so that's what I wanted for you. You should probably recuse yourself. All those in favor? Aye. Those opposed? Motion carries. And change the approximate number of persons people expected in 99. All right. Reconvene the select board. Move to reconvene the select board to adjourn the liquor control board to reconvene the select board. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Motion carries. Round the table, Pee. I'm set. Wayne? I'm set. Jeremy? You in? Okay. I'm good. Executive session? No, thank you. Move to adjourn. Sorry. Second. All those in favor? Aye. All right. This is a record.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical over here since I'm a Halloween ends in this video here again today and talking About some comments that viewer and on has tweeted out that has people some people anyway talking about what they are expecting for Halloween Ends now going into this upcoming October. So viewer and I put out some tweets Earlier this week Mentioning the reshoots that are gonna be happening soon and Also pointing out that from what they know, it's not just a Michael Myers kills a lot of people in lower show Has to stop them sort of movie. There are other factors and threats it at play The movie hasn't had a public public test screening yet What I know is based on script information on preview two and some sources working on the film in various capacities But right now it's more interested in the boogeyman than just Michael Myers Basically, this is an early four months out to call Four months out call to ready yourself for something different and don't just hate it because it's different They made their carpenter love letter in 2018's Halloween and their ultimate slasher movie in Halloween kills This is going to a or this is going in a different way So as far as you know, the first bit of comments there It's not just a Michael Myers kills a lot of people in the lower shows has to stop them sort of movie There are other factors that play and saying it's more interested in the boogeyman than just Michael Myers It sounds like we're gonna have a lot more of a psychological film this time around now going off of what viewer Not himself again is tweeted. It doesn't seem as though viewer non has seen this movie This is mostly again, just what like stuff that's been told to them about the script and other things Dave again made made a point to mention they are in the know about and Giving their thoughts on what it sounds like Halloween ends is gonna be like that's what I'm gathering because they haven't it doesn't sound like They've seen the movie So when it comes to what they have to say, I hope it is something that's a lot more Psychologically driven in a sense that you get to focus in on how these characters have been impacted from the events of Halloween 2018 Halloween kills learning what they're dealing with learning where they are in life Learning how Michael Myers has impacted how things are done in Haddonfield because we know that there's going to be a current state of Haddonfield that we're going to have addressed that information was shared from Phantom Empire. I made a video talking about it So we know that there's going to be certain factors involved here in the movie that that end up resulting from The events of Halloween kills in Halloween 2018 It's a response to what Michael Myers has done in the last four years and now Haddonfield has completely been reshaped Some people have moved out some people have moved in some people don't believe what happened four years ago Actually happened from what I remember if that's how the rumor was to be interpreted Some people are again just like a completely oblivious And they're still moving in just because they want to move in and they don't really care So as it pertains to Michael Myers and his whole impact on Haddonfield I am interested in seeing a movie that's more about that than just jumping right into Michael Myers sees a person person dies, you know, I want to have more of this Psychological aspect played up a bit more Just to kind of see where these characters heads are at before they start dying Give us a reason to grow attached to them grow invested in them making their deaths Some of them more impactful than others making their deaths mean something Whereas again with Halloween kills. It was just carnage candy A fast food style slasher movie that was fun for the most part, but it had a lot wrong with it For instance, like I may mention of in my review for it With the legacy characters that they bring back. They don't really do anything to kind of get you invested in them Outside of just saying oh, hey, you remember Tommy Doyle or hey, you remember Lindsay Wallace, okay But who are these people now?  Why should I care about them now? What is going on because they just we see them and you know, it's nostalgic and then we have this brief interaction between Lori and Tommy and it's so fast. They don't even let the audience Enjoy that there and it seems like honestly between their interaction that they had just seen each other a few weeks ago or something There was no vibes coming off there that made it seem like they had not seen each other for 40 years So everyone else they were all in this loop and the audience was left out of it That's how it felt by how fast and the treatment of certain reunions in halloween kills So with that in mind Going into you know, talking about the boogeyman aspect, you know, I want to see that hiked up a bit more You don't just make it about Michael Myers in the sense of talk about what Michael Myers represents talk about Who Michael Myers is to Haddonfield? You don't have to just You don't have to just zero it out to Michael Myers. We know it's about Michael Myers That's Haddonfield's boogeyman But it could be talked about in a way which is very thought-provoking to your audience Again, it's playing up the psychological aspect. Are they you could maybe some people might start to doubt They're talking about Michael Myers for whatever reason. Of course those of us like me Some other people who are diehards to the series know that the boogeyman in reference would be Michael Myers That's again me interpreting what viewer non has stated I wouldn't mind a movie like that if it's just more so, you know Again, I've already talked about like a less is more approach Don't have Michael Myers just wandering around doing all this killing so so fast Let things breathe let certain developments occur Let certain things happen throughout the day. Let us see Michael Myers stalking these people throughout the day too You could do something like that and then see how they all end up reacting To whatever ends up occurring on that halloween night four years later when Michael Myers returns to Haddonfield to wreak havoc once again because as of now The only three people that i'm interested in seeing right now because again it's it this movie is very tight-lipped They've done a great job as a compared to halloween kills The only people i'm interested in seeing and learning about right now are lori allison and lindsay seen if they're even Like this trio of characters that hang out seeing what The night of 2018 did to all of them Seeing how the death of her parents has impacted allison because she lost both of her parents Seeing how Karen's death impacts lori as well since that was her daughter She didn't really seem to care about her son-in-law. So i'm not expecting her to even be upset about him But it would just be nice, you know, again play up with the psychological stuff Maybe there's some things going on in alice's life where she has nightmares about michael mires Or maybe lindsay has nightmares about michael mires something that could be done to play up that aspect before we see michael mires start wreaking havoc, but We'll see what ultimately ends up happening happening when the movie releases in october What type of halloween Ends do you want to see do you want to see a movie that's completely different than kills in 2018? Would you want to see something that's more on the lines of a psychological movie? I'm not talking about anything along the lines of rob zombies halloween too.
