Hey, everyone, this is Mish, Michelle Schneider, Chief Strategist of MarketGauge.com. And we're gonna do a quick run through of a very interesting time in the markets right here in the US, especially on the heels of so many economic stats that are coming out this week, earnings also still continuing. And on top of that, we have the FOMC meetings. So what is so interesting to me as first for public news today with JP Morgan, everything that's come out about the market has been incredibly absorbed by several of the indices, not all of the indices and many of the sectors, not all of the sectors. Well, we're gonna focus on the strongest ones today and what to look out for. So what you're looking at right here is the chart of the S&P. This is a daily chart. Obviously you can see that we've gone through the 50-day moving average. This Bollinger ban, though, is turning out to be pretty good resistance. And I'll show you in a moment, if we switch to a 23-month moving average chart, we can also see that 420, which so many people are talking about, is such a huge area of resistance. So you can take this as one of two ways. With a new high, a high that we have not seen really since February, which means it's more than a 60-plus day, we could say that today was it. This is the reversal pattern. It tried so hard to close near the highs and instead we're gonna go lower and if we open up anything lower than today's low, which is 415.27, and today I mean Monday, that means at least we'll see some kind of a support around 410, but under that, we're going back down. And this was just some kind of a aberration in April and of course the old sell-in may go away, which I particularly do not like that expression. But also we have to look at the momentum indicator here on the daily and quite honestly, even though it's rolled over a little bit, it certainly hasn't shown any kind of overboard in terms of momentum and it hasn't had any kind of mean reversion in that it hasn't cleared over the Bollinger bands and come back through. Plus there's no divergence between price and momentum. As you can see, we have a trip down to the 50 here potential and also a trip down to the 50 here in momentum. So if we just took a look at a little bit of a shorter timeframe and we put up a 30 minute, it's not gonna look like my trade station charts. So I wouldn't necessarily pay much attention to the moving averages. But what I will show you is in a 30 minute chart basis. This now looks like a bit of a breakdown. If we go back to the beginning of the day with it starting and closing below, slightly below where it actually opened in the first 30 minutes. However, if we go back to Friday's action of last week, you can see that we got all kinds of support going down with the biggest support being 412. So essentially what I would do is this. If this can clear back over 415, 416, you have a really tight stop. If you wanna go a little wider, you have a 412 stop and see if it can get past this 417, 418 level. You do have to sit through like I said, the FOMC, but we're looking at a quarter percent regardless. And of course we'll talk about the bonds in a moment. If on the other hand this comes in lower than 415, then I think that basically this last half an hour, the high was 416,09, you can kind of use that last half an hour high as a stop to go short. And if it breaks down onto that 415 level or comes in slightly lower, I think you can anticipate and move at least down to 412 if you are a day trader or short term trader. If we go back to the daily chart just to look one more time, I would not necessarily get short though for any kind of big position. Most likely it would have to show me by the end of the day that it would close underneath the low of today at 415,27. And then you can use the high of the day, which is 417,61 as your stop area because then it's possible that the move is over. I mean, that's surely how mixed it is. Of course if we go to the cues, they, by the way, the formation you saw on the candlesticks on the spy chart is a classic inverted hamedoji which often means that there was force selling and not necessarily that people are losing their hope in the market. But here's another interesting key area. 328 in the cues is its 23 month moving average. That is key because that would show some level of expansion, not great expansion, but some level of expansion if we can get through that level. But in the meanwhile, you can see once again the resistance of today for 32363 tells me that that's a good area to look at if we close below today's low 421,10 tomorrow for more of a longer term or I'd say more of a intermediate term type potential short with a move down to the 50, momentum looking kind of similar to what we saw with the actual spy. And if we go to a 30 minute chart here, again, nevermind the moving averages, but just looking at the activity of over the last couple of days, today it actually closed higher than the low of the day number one. And number two is if we just go back to the low of this day, which was last week on Friday, this to me would be the more significant level. Short time, we break down under today's low. Let's just go through that again for 321. You're looking at possibly a nice little pop to the downside. We get through actually today's high and we can go back that again, which was about 323. It's possible this market's gonna continue to go up on a longer term if we go back to the daily with this type of formation against the Bollinger Band if we can take out the highs of Monday and we start break down under the lows of today, which again was 321, then I would say a move down to about 38, 310 is also very, very likely. And the last one to look at of course is the Dow Jones, which has been amazingly strong. This actually clear at 337 above its two year moving average, but it doesn't necessarily mean anything if we can't get everybody else to join in. But another 60 plus day high, this was an incredibly pivotal day. 60 plus day high reversal close near the lows. Again, the low today, 340, 26. If this breaks down under 340, 26, particularly if it closes under there tomorrow. And that's possible. We can see generally the way we look at these reversals is about a 10% move give or take anywhere between say five and 10% move lower. So you take the high, which is 342, 10% of that is about $34. Now all of a sudden you're talking about 308. That would be a dramatic move. 5% of course would give you more like 330, which or another test down to around the 50 day moving average. Okay, so that's it for the indices. However, I do have to show you very quickly IWM. Because IWM is not having it. This, where I just showed you all the other indices above their moving averages. This is actually not only below their moving averages, but with the death cross, it is actually in a bearish phase. This to me is very key and also something to watch will give you a clue as to whether spy and cues and diamonds can take you up or if they're going to look around at the Russell 2000 and say, uh-uh nevermind economy's too weak and the Fed has done too much damage and regardless of what they do on Wednesday, it's still going to hurt the market. If this can't get up through 181.81 and starts to break down under 170, I can tell you that on the 23 month moving average, which is all the way up here, we'd be much more concerned about the 80 month moving average. Cause that is a six to seven year business cycle and it would say that in terms of the small caps or the companies that are actually present within the United States manufacturing and creating goods within the United States are looking more recessionary and now it definitely spells some trouble. Of course, the momentum is agreeing with us here because you can see the momentum is now below the 50 and below the 200 day moving average with lots of room to the downside. And lastly, this is the TLTs. This is the 20 plus year long bonds. And often we say when they're doing well, it's usually in some kind of a recessionary time cause they can be a flight to safety. Instead, you can see today the yields actually went up. So the yields have been extremely volatile also in terms of the interest rates for the United States. This is anticipating possibly a more hawkish Fed but there's a divergence. And by that I mean what's interesting to look at is we broke down under the 50 day moving average and made a new low, a low we haven't seen since back in March not to mention the fact that we haven't quite filled the gap but we're almost close. The gap from this high here, which is at 102.52 and today's low, which was 102.85. If that doesn't get filled and this flips around you can thank the momentum because the divergence even though the momentum has come down to the 50 it's kind of sitting right there. So it's possible this was overdone, maybe an overreaction. If you put it all together, if this thing flips back around and the momentum gets better and this gap doesn't get filled, I would take this as sort of a one day wonder and some fear basically that came into the market. And again, if we go back to the indices so watch those spies, watch the range of today. New 60 plus day high, breaks down to the low of the day. Possibly going to get some follow through. How much follow through? Just look here. If this thing gets crunched or the hope gets too hawkish or recessionary fears or more banking failures come out. There you go. But I'd say forget about the news and just watch this chart, watch the spy and the cue chart that I just showed you and of course watch those wrestles because if they break down under 167 it'll be really hard to make a bullish case for any of the indices. And that's for me for today. Thanks so much for watching and bye for now.


Theocracy has so disappeared in the United States that there are some subjects that cannot even be discussed. The essence of the democratic process is free discussion. This is our first time taping in the underground theater of the New Africa House on the campus of the University of Massachusetts. Isabella Arrambia will tell us a little bit about her own story, but she comes to us from Cuba. She is here in the country. We'll be attending a major conference later this month in Boston, the Latin American Studies Association. I reflect on the relations between the United States and Cuba at this moment. And this reflection begins with a question. Why? What has Cuba done? What has been the crime? What has Cuba done over the last 50 years? That it wakes such a strong air, such a strong feeling. Cuba is a small island in the middle of the Caribbean. But perhaps Cuba has something that really bothers us. That really disturbs the matrix of domination. That disturbs certain powerful sectors that would like to dominate the world. Thank you Cuba. I think that this characteristic of Cuba is its voice. A strong voice, a powerful voice. This is right at small size and scarce resources, natural resources. A few years ago, I remember when I was in France for the first time, people didn't know that Cuba was Cuba. They didn't know if Cuba was a fruit, if Cuba was a country, if Cuba was an island. I don't remember. Just a few years ago, the first time I was in France, people had no idea what Cuba was. Was it a fruit? Was it a... An island? A film. What on earth was Cuba? But now we know that Cuba is a voice that promotes programs of equity. And it hasn't just been a social project for Cuba and its own society. It's been projects for the world. And it has been a project for Cuba and its own society. It's been projects for the world. It has been projects in Africa. Projects in Latin America. At times... What's insolent or unthinkable? Unheard of. What? Unthinkable? Unheard of? Unheard of. Corners of Asia. When there was a problem in Pakistan, Cubans went to help in Pakistan. And in fact, when Katrina happened here, Cubans offered to come here. It wasn't accepted, but at least they offered. For more than half a century, Cuba has solved the problem of women's control over its own body, over abortion. An abortion that's free of charge, scientifically secured and discreet. Cuba does open heart surgeries in other parts of the world. It costs a million dollars and in Cuba it's free. Cuba has arrived at more than 60% of professionals being women. But, of course, Cuba is in the perfect country. Cuba has many things to resolve. In terms of equity, in terms of social equity. Because perhaps a humanist project is never finished. If we think, as Jose Martí did, that the greatest project in the world was the affectionate of humanity. Is that right? Yeah. So we're talking about a continuing project, an ongoing project. But the problem is that Cuba has become a bad example. A few years ago, in the Congress of Cuba, Cuba proclaimed free Latin America of conflict. Some years ago, in a meeting of SELIC, which is the that war was at an end. See, the thing about being a translator is it only works well if you get help. And we're in trouble. So, a zone free of war, of military conflict, I would say, is a great challenge to some. But another problem is that historically, Cuba has supported Africa scientifically, militarily, and in education. And Cuba has asked nothing in exchange. Because Cuba has never offered anything that they have too much of. Because in reality, we don't materially have too much of anything. But we do have an overflowing quantity of solidarity and will to help. And enthusiasm. Human has put on the table of international relations the necessity of humans to help each other. And not for nothing in the United Nations. Historically, 98, almost 99 percent of countries vote against the blockade of Cuba. This is simply a diplomatic act. It represents something more. Thousands of young people from all over the world have studied in Cuba. And one of the great, the Latin American School of Medicine has been one of the great overflowing of help. Where there are young people studying medicine. So what is this about looking only at Cuba's defects, defects even that other countries have? My idea is to shut Cuba's voice down. Like turning off a radio. So to lose this voice, that this voice dissolves. But in reality, this would be kind of difficult. For one thing, because Cuba counts on worldwide solidarity. And the solidarity is present in fact in the United U.S. people as well. And in fact in the case of the United States it couldn't be any other way because we're neighbors and we have a shared history. Above all, the shared history of African American and African human people. That we share a common history. So just recently in New York, I asked for people to use this energy. So just recently in New York I asked for people to use this energy. To use this force of solidarity. To build the solidarity. To build the relationship. This isn't a new problem. We've lived for many years in the middle of the difficulties. There's a certain problem which is that more than 60% of the Cuban population was born after 59, the year the revolution started. Oh my goodness. Some measures that I take against certain institutions, the ones who are going to suffer from water, are the young people. So this affects most, for example, children with cancer, children who need certain medicines. People who need certain health care, certain elderly people. You're saying that the measures taken by the U.S. against Cuban institutions are damaging most of the youth. And elderly. So I would like us to begin to reflect. I would like this dialogue to continue, perhaps, but I'm not here, but among yourselves. It's also a proposal to the intellectuals, to the intellectuals, to the media. And the question is why? Why Cuba? What has been our crime? Descartes said, and the French Revolution talked about human rights. The historical things that represent human rights. The French Revolution. The court and the French Revolution talk about human rights. What are human rights? What are real human rights? This is what we're talking about. Are we talking about the right to invade a country, to occupy a country, to disarm a country? What are real human rights? Is this the human rights that we're talking about during the French Revolution? Is human rights an invention of communism? Or human rights something that is global, worldwide? This is the sense that I would like to leave with you. This is the sense that I would like to leave with you. The feeling that I want to leave you. The sentiment. One of the most important philosophers of the world said that it is always important to finish with the question. But I want to, though we're going to continue to dialogue and have questions and answers, I want to leave with you the important question of why. Obama, a black man with his defects and virtues, said, when I was a child this problem existed. How can this problem still exist 50 years later? And to the degree that we can find answers to this question. We will find programs and solutions to the problem. Because in fact this is a global conflict. It's a conflict of poverty, of inequality. It's the conflict of the need to take care of the earth, to take care of our planet. So the problems aren't isolated, they're global. And the financial power is also global. And what has happened in centuries past, are you cleaning us from Louis the Fourth or any other story? Are we going to knock on the door of a bank and say, Banker, why is this happening? The bank is going to say, this isn't my problem. I'm only taking care of the money that's brought to me. So in this contest, so difficult, there are also new opportunities. I am with my translator. And I think that the United States society, even beyond the various obstacles, is in fact in a position to find answers to these questions. And it is prepared to do so because it is the scene of important developments of the world. And because from these answers, many other things will be decided by the answers to these questions. Perhaps the future itself will be decided. The right of women, the right of women over their body, over their sexuality, the right of older people to a peaceful and happy life, the right of children to live to be happy. Cuba has one of the lowest infertility rates. And the right of human beings to love each other and take care of each other, because that's why we're on this earth. Among the great opportunities that I have had in this moment, was a conversation I had in Chicago, an ecumenical conversation over racism and society. I think in a pragmatic manner, we can find among these sectors where ecumenism works, we can find spaces for solidarity. We have to break with a circle, with an infernal idea that has been tried to instill in us. We have to address an idea that has been inculcated in us and an infernal idea that has been lodged in us, which is discriminated against people who don't think as we do and to not accept people who think differently from the way we do. And in this moment when the planet is in danger, we have to learn to dialogue. We have to develop the capacity for dialogue. I think that there were some sectors in the world that were really astounded that Latin America was able to flower with progressive governments as it did. And this progressive push forward created a terrible impact. There's an important philosopher who has created a terrible impact and who has created a terrible impact. He created a terrible impact. He created a terrible impact. There's an important philosopher. That this progressive push forward was not able to take advantage sufficiently of the moment. And we thought that basically some people thought it was a moment to sing and sing and soul, like the cricket. But in reality we also have to recognize that the capitalist system is a very ancient system that has a lot of strength, has a lot of resources and that these aren't a simple matter of these resources. And that the political discussions are not sufficient sometimes. So in order to survive, we actually need a new paradigm. And we really have to reflect on what this new paradigm could be. A paradigm in which all of us as human beings can fit.  Without human justice we can't talk. But we have another strength, we have culture. We have our religious justice. We have the relationship with nature. The care of the animals, the care of the plants. Care for the rivers and the oceans. And the African populations are just very clear. For this reason, Africanidad and I don't know Africanity can be part of the solution. That's not only for the people who are of African art. It's for human beings.

How's it going? Good morning. Oh, good afternoon. How's everyone? Good, Eric. When we do an analysis of crime, it's an amazing job what Chief Madri and his team, Chief Shell, have done over the year. And each month when they do a briefing, I notice that what jumps off at us, and that is the ever presence of GLAs. And as we stated before, that many of these GLAs is being fed by many directions. We always say there are many rivers that feed the violence and the crime that we see in our city. And it's all true also for Grand Lausanne autos. Last month, we talked about the role that TikTok is playing in Grand Lausanne autos. This month, we are looking at how the same problem we're seeing in certain cars, Akia, Hyundai, and Honda, particularly Akia and Hyundai, is leading the way. Right here in this precinct, this precinct reached a number of 200 GLAs. There's no other precinct in the city that has numbers like that. And it's not because of the work that the men and women here have been coordinated to target and zero in on the problem of Grand Lausanne autos. We have seen a decrease in all of the many of the other seven major crimes, decreasing shootings, decreasing homicides, decreasing robberies, Lausannies. But the aggravated number of Grand Lausanne autos continues to drive up our crime in the city. It gives the false sense that we're not moving in the right directions when we are. And so we're calling on New Yorkers to participate. Of your greatest investment is your automobile. It's used for many different reasons to get to and from your place of employment, to drop your children off every day, to deal with any medical procedures you may have. Using public transportation is not always the alternative for so many people. This is a partnership we can do together. I like to say a three-way partnership. Number one, by empowering everyday New Yorkers with a simple device as an air tag. Using technology, you hear me say it over and over again, using technology to fight crime, protect people, save property is the direction this administration and this police department is going in. This simple device, this simple air tag, is hidden in a car at a location that a person is not aware of is an excellent tracking device. It's easy to monitor the New York City Police Department is going to be putting out a video to explain the use of it. It's very simple. The charging life lasts a long time and you can see in real time where that vehicle is located. We wanted to have a partner, the second arm of the partnership is the police department. Soon as we're notified about a Grand Lausanne auto and even if it's days later, we can still track the car and find the person who's driving and put a break on what we are experiencing in the city with Grand Lausanne autos. The third arm of it is what we have really coined in this administration and that's our relationship with the business community. When I reached out to the Association of Better of New York and shared the possibilities of doing this, the response was immediate and they were willing to come in and pick up the cost of 500 of these air tags. These air tags could be used. We're going to be handing them out in this precinct which is really spiking in Grand Lausanne autos and we're going to be partnering with other entities in the city to also bring about this type of donation from not only our corporate partners but those who like to play a role in dealing with the Grand Lausanne autos we're seeing in the city. So my friend Mr. Rubenstein, thank you so much for your contribution. The chairman of the Association of Better New York during the 70s. This was an association that helped us build out of our economic challenges and once again during 2023 they are here again. Representing the Association for the Better New York is my good friend Mr. Rubenstein. Thank you Mr. Mayor. I'm Stephen Rubenstein. I'm the chair of ABNI. I want to say Mayor how grateful we are for your passion and specifically today for your tireless work to protect New Yorkers. Look many of us remember when auto theft was an epidemic on our city streets. When we were worried every single time we parked our cars we knew we could leave nothing in them and that included car radios right. There was a joke that went around back then that BMW stood for break my window.  These crimes stole things of real value and they undermined our overall sense of safety and security. Something that's true even if you didn't own a car. Today we're nowhere near close to the bad old days of our highest crime numbers. But smart leaders don't wait for things to spiral and we appreciate the mayor and the NYPD we're going to cut off this rising trend. ABNI CEO Melvin Miller and I were happy to step up when the mayor called and asked for assistance to do our small part on this issue. So we're donating 500 airtags to help the PD recover stolen cars as well as hopefully increase deterrence. The thing we really appreciate about this mayor is you're trying something new like we're seeking a new approach. It's a bit of technology. It's a simple idea but it's an innovative one and we really believe in trying things to see how they work. So mayor mentioned ABNI was founded 50 years ago. We've done things big and small. We've had our members advance pay their taxes to keep the city solvent. We've even given out brooms. We've donated life saving vests to the PD and we've run a campaign a massive campaign to help the census. So we do far and wide. Today's thing is a little more technological but we really wanted to say we're committed to helping. We're grateful that you asked. I want to say thank you and next I want to say thank you. I want to give the microphone to Chief of Patrol John Schell. I want to thank the chief for all he does. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. All right, good afternoon. It's good to be here with our mayor, our chief of department, Stephen Roomscene. Thank you for all coming. As we say time and time again, public safety is responsibly shared by all New Yorkers. We want to thank the associates from better York for this viral they're in playing helping us reduce our grant loss in the auto. The GPS devices donated by ABNY will be given to New York as another layer of protection for their vehicles by first locating and tracking stolen cars, then by acting as a deterrent for auto thieves. It also allows obviously to be more strategic while mitigating pursuits, keeping us safe and keeping the community safe. This technology is not new like Steve mentioned but when you use it in innovative ways it becomes a new means to increase public safety and further improve our quality of life. When our city faces an issue like car theft, in this case the proliferation of auto theft, we find a creative strategic way to correct the issue. Like new technology that may rolls out, our star chase and now air tags redeployed in an innovative way. And coupled with that, this regular crime prevention tip should all fall when it comes to autos. Don't leave our keys in our car. Don't leave our key fob in the car where the bad guys know when your window, when your mirror is opening closed, don't leave valuables in the car that are attractive to the bad guy. Those are regular crime prevention tips. Like the mayor said on our social media page now you'll be able to see how to use these air tags in an effective way. And last, you know, I'll work with the ABNY and the mayor's public safety team on this as no example of our approach to one city, one mission. Thank you very much. All right, so I'll be the techie. So you download the app to your phone, you deploy this air tag the way you want to deploy it in your car wherever you feel comfortable with. And when the air tag starts moving, vis-a-vis your vehicle, your phone be alerted, you know someone's in your car is not supposed to end or stolen, you call 911 as fast as you can, you tell the officers involved they have an air tag, and they immediately with our apprehension citywide apprehension apparatus will start putting that tag citywide. And hopefully we recover your car and damaged, we take a bad guy off the street and you get your car about to conduct your business and doesn't impose on your life. So I'm sorry, Kate. What I did was I gave one of the devices to our guys so they can move the car so you can actually visually see. It's a really amazing piece of ingenuity. You get alerted, you know, if you're homes and all of a sudden you get alerted that your car is moving, you can see exactly how the car is moving. And it's a very simple device. You can hide it anywhere in your car, not with someone who realizes there, and you can actually track your car moving. You can use this device so many times. You tell, you know, I used to tell my son, make sure you come straight home after school and I find he goes to another borough, now I can track him. I own a 2020 Kia Forte and I'm in the 49th precinct which has seen the rash of car stalling. Can I get one of those ad tags for my car? Hold on, hold on. That's very important. Kia, Hyundai and Honda, those are driving our numbers. We sued, did a lawsuit on Kia and Hyundai because they should do a better job but they are driving our numbers. So, GLA is driving our crime. Kia and Hyundai are driving the GLA's with pinpoint right. So, you're one less GLA we're worrying about, okay? Hey, just for the numbers, this year alone we have 966 Hyundai's and Kia's taken.  We received some information that there were 200 GLA's in this precinct and I just wondered if you guys could clarify what time frame that took place over. So, over the past 28 day, over the year today we have taken 207 recorded GLA's, GLA's, this is year to date that we have taken 207 GLA's and so far this week we're taking another 9. So, this year today, January 2 present. Any more? So, there's a manufacturer's defect in both those orders where it's a plastic cylinder that covers the car. You can remove that plastic cylinder with a hardware screwdriver and a USB port that we use your iPhone will start that car right away. So, that's the issue and the TikTok challenge that came out in July of 22. Definitely without a doubt driving that, that issue when it comes to some of our youth taking these cars. So, if you go into TikTok, they actually shows in this challenge of stealing the car, they actually show how to use the everyday cord you charge your phone, how to jump start the car. And so, when you look at July 22, you'll see the spike that we are experiencing now because of what is happening or a large part of what's happening on social media. I think you had a question in the back. Will police have the ability to always track these tags or is it something that just the user can track on their phone? We will not have the ability to track any air tag that we give away. What happens is once the owner realizes that their car is missing for whatever reason, they call us and we'll look at their phone and we'll use their phone to track the vehicle. So, we'll be clear on that. This is not something this is not a centralized tracking system where we are in charge of tracking someone's car. If an owner gets a notification that their car is moving without their authorization, they will notify the police department who would automatically use that information with the owner's permission to track the stolen vehicle. Okay? So, we want to give an example. I know they downloaded the app now. Let's just give us a couple of minutes. The car is. So, if this car was a stolen car, we would have received a notification that the car is moving and it's actually showing you in real time where the car is located. So, police officers are able to go there with the owner's permission and apprehend this person who has stolen this car. These GLAs and not only GLAs, they are involved in robberies, they're involved in criminal possession of firearms, they're involved in hidden runs. So, when you are seeing these large number of robberies, the patterns are coming back to stolen cars over and over again as well as when you see the increased number of hidden runs. This is why we're zooming in on GLAs. They're the feeder to many other crimes. Got it? No, it's black now. Oh, okay. No, no, this is not to find my hat. Does it work on Android phones as well? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, Android's got an event one. Okay, thanks so much.

My name is Caledonia Curry and we're sitting in front of my piece, Submerged Motherlands and the Cantor Rotunda on the fifth floor of the Brooklyn Museum. This is kind of such a unique space in the building that I wanted to make something that really fit into the space and rose up into the space and kind of addressed the whole space. So first what you'll see is we built a 60 foot tree and it's sort of intended to kind of be the sort of nesting docking spot for these sculptural rafts, which traveled down the Hudson River and also on the Adriatic Sea to Venice. Every element of the rafts is homemade from the flotation to the sculptural elements. About 30 people at a time lived aboard them and traveled for a few months each summer in 2008 and 2009. Also included is a structure that's kind of like a gazebo, kind of like a small temple. It's made up of portraits. There's a portrait of a friend of mine with her new baby and there are portraits of my own mother in her life cycle. And on the inside there are honeycombs and wasps nests and various decorative elements that you can pass through and hang out in. Well the very first thing that I had to do was get in touch with an engineer and show him my design and be like, is this insane? Is this dangerous? Should I not do this? We had to construct a lift point that the building didn't already have and so it's been pretty interesting working within the structure and sort of figuring out sort of what's already here and sort of trying to understand the architecture and how we can work with it. And then we just spent weeks like tearing and shredding and dyeing fabric with like instant coffee, with paint, with fabric dye. We just kind of like experimented with everything. Cutting out paper leaves and building up these kind of roots and paper machaying them and putting the dyed fabric onto them. There's also a lot of washes of fire extinguisher paint around the outside which was, it's kind of the best tool ever that was really fun. What took about two days and probably like 70 to 80 gallons of liquid just loaded into pressurized tanks and sprayed just over and over again for over the period of couple days and let it dry and continue spraying and that was really fun. Originally I had been thinking a lot about climate change. The rafts when I first started to create them I was thinking a lot about climate change and rising seas and kind of dislocation of communities and then Sandy hit and so it seemed like a really kind of an important time to continue that kind of thinking just as a way to sort of like meditate on all of our anxieties about this situation bringing this thinking kind of to the forefront and trying to tangibly like get our sort of hearts and minds around it. That's always what I'm doing as I'm thinking about sort of environmental issues.


Okay. Good evening and welcome to the select board meeting of May 16th, 2018. I'm calling the meeting to order at 6.08 p.m. We'll start with opening remarks and ask us an agenda review. Just on the topic of agenda, we may probably get largely in order. Hopefully the crew will join us fairly shortly and be able to be a part of the letter items on our agenda. Does anyone have any announcements to the ACOR direction and additional instructions to the agenda? Actually, it's from the lawyer here for the downtown part of your group. Oh, he's the one for that? Okay. I don't know if he was here for the mass outreach. Okay. So we'll start out with our first action discussion on which it's from a recommendation from the downtown part of your working group. We've got a memo and a map in our packet. We'd like to take us through. We can be the hearing for the person. We need to have a schedule of public hearing for it. This isn't the hearing. This is the pre-to-the-hearing. Sure. Yeah, made my way to plan out the town and stack the liaison to the downtown part of the working group. The group's been working for a while for almost two years now and they made recommendations in the fall. And they are proposing three recommendations now for the psych ward consideration. And so as Paula mentioned, if the psych ward would like to report with these, then there has to be a public hearing two weeks notice at a later date. The recommendations are in a priority order. So the first recommendation is to meter the 13 parking spaces off Kellogg Street, adjacent to the annual parking lot. So there's 15 spaces against the fence. The east side used to be reserved for LSDC when they were there at the bank center. And now it basically has a sign saying no parking anytime. It's been used by contractors for different construction projects. But the working group's recommending that they become metered spaces. So they can become part of the downtown metered space public parking at 50 cents an hour with a four-hour limit. So that's the first recommendation. So that's something that the division endorsed and looked forward. The second one is there's five taxi spaces along South Pleasant Street adjacent to the North Common. So the first understanding was that some of the regulations say that these spaces are reserved only for taxi cabs that maybe refine that they're only reserved for taxi cabs Thursday through Saturday from 11 to 2. But you know, nonetheless, they're like those signs if you're moved and be clear that those spaces are meter spaces. There are no taxi businesses in Amherst and they haven't been for a few years. And the third one is adding a second 15-minute free space on the, called the Boltwood lot or the Kellogg lot. It's behind Cher Coffee. There's already an existing 15-minute free space on the east side of the parking lot adjacent to Ann Whalen. So next to that, there'd be another 15-minute free. And that's a highly sought-after space. And it's well used. Coincidentally, I went to Jen Reynolds, an apartment enforcement officer today, right in that area. I asked her and she said, it's really well respected. People typically just use it for 15 minutes and she said it is really busy. So, you know, she could see that another one would be used respectfully. So those are the three recommendations at this time. And as we go over that to move forward, there need to be a public carry on some of these. I did notice that my name was next to the sign, but I was happy to defer to Mr. Molloy. Did you want to offer any additional? Well, actually, I think it's a good summary. The downtown parking and working group, and there's six of us out of the seven slots. There's one they can see. These were all things that we felt pretty solid on. We discussed them a bunch, but they weren't debated the way some of our other issues that have not resolved yet. So I guess we saw these as easy ones. I just wanted to add for the 13 parking spaces that are up against that chain link fence after the Ann Whalen lot. It's being used by some of the construction crews for the New Sandy Health Center, Bank Center renovations, but that is starting to a conclusion, and it's pretty close to a good part of the downtown and seemed like it would be appropriate to meter for access to the Bank Center, to the Health Center, into other venues in that general area. Right now, it has the sign that says you can't park there at all, even though after hours, it's empty in the evening. So that was one I've been particularly interested in addressing. The other ones are maybe second and third order of business, but we wanted to get this to select board so that we could proceed along, and if we could make those changes for the 13 parking spaces, that would help alleviate some of the supply issues in that area downtown. So I have one question regarding the taxi spots that are described in Pleasant Street. I know that there had been discussion at one point about Uber drivers doing things that were not in the best interest of anybody, including using the fire station driveway. There's a spot to stop until they got a call. Are the Uber or Lyft drivers using the taxi spots for those purposes, or are they really vacant, do we know? I've heard that they're not using them just because they're, you know, that half of the walk away or across the intersection.  To add to that, we did talk about it a couple different times, and we have a recommendation in that I believe has been now funded for a parking consultant to help us improve the parking management system. And one of the things that is on our laundry list of tasks for that person is to figure out the best way to handle riot sharing. And the information we had at this point was they want to go to the pickup place where the person has called them from and not queue in those taxi spots. So we looked at that. It didn't seem to be the right solution for right now, but we know over time riot sharing is growing and growing. And so we want to look at that, but we didn't have enough information expertise to really jump into that issue. Agree, Mr. Malone? No, I agree. Yeah, of course you're saying it's a kind of evolving field, you know, how they use riot sharing and what they do. So, you know, we, you know, we, the other members have said that they really don't want to, it's just too far the way they, the way they work is not, they wouldn't use those spaces, but. So they're, yes, Mr. Malone. What's our belief on these three issues as to which or all are subject to an actual hearing if we decide that we are interested in holding such a hearing? Because I mean, in theory, anything we do to change parking is. Reading the bylaw, it seems like all of these would be changing, whether it's a time limit or something, so they would all be subject to. Okay, yeah. So my follow up question then being that that's what I believed as well is what's the next step being proposed by downtown parking working group or staff in terms of what would be appropriate timing for this, given town meeting, summer, all that good stuff. Well there's, there needs to be two weeks notification notification, the newspaper, downtown parking working group had a meeting today, we weren't sure if there's gonna be something coming out of that or not. So we could do it in June. So my question is not just when we can do it, although I appreciate the reminder two weeks notice that's here in the copy of bylaw, I appreciate us having you in the back. I'm asking when's a good time to do this, given when it's a good time of year to change signage, when it's a good time to expect people to show up, and given our schedule. So we could do it as soon as, because two weeks notice because there isn't something new. That's, I believe you just indicated, coming out of downtown parking working group today that would also be subject to a hearing. So what I'm asking is, I'm not saying there's one answer, I'm asking given all the things that we juggling, given the agenda setting, things you just looked at, I believe, yesterday, when this seems like a good time to put it. I would say, and to be honest, the downtown parking working group did not discuss the hearing date issue. Different members are here or away, the ones who are here would come. I would say as soon as possible, because not only is there the notice period for the advertising, but there's I think is it four to six weeks for getting meters. So if we're looking to have this happen during the slower time in preparation, you know, parking already has eased up and will continue to ease up over the summer. So doing signs, doing meters, changes is coming up. So we'd want to kind of get it underway. Clearly the later we go into the summer, the harder it is to have people come to a hearing. I imagine the business community has some interest, although these were not the ones that drew the crowd. The one that remains unresolved is where more interest lies, and we're not ready to make a recommendation. So as far as our own schedule, I think when we get into June, I think June's a nice month to do this. Because I think once we get into July, we get into people's vacations, and we get into an evaluation process, and that's where it might be best to keep ahead sooner rather than later. And I don't know if anyone wants to make any specific motion suggestions, but... So as the agenda said last week, there are a number of parking-related issues that are going to come up in June, depending on how long town meeting goes, like I want to be at Place Fisher Street. The number, there are numbers sort of that same genre of things that we could package this all into. Parking night, I have to select one. I will second what Connie said. This has been on the agenda a few times, and other businesses in property owners from the downtown have gotten there, and they have not really brought up an opinion on these. I mean, they seem fine with it. They don't, you know, they all agreed that the 13 spaces wouldn't be a detriment, about the 15-minute freeze, but it wasn't any, really any negative. What's the plan with Olympia Place and Fisher? And at Fisher, we were hoping to have a follow-up since we said it would expire June 1st. And obviously we haven't had a chance to do that yet, but is that also a hearing? I mean, we can talk about the packages and things. I'm just trying to understand which things are subject to hearing and which things aren't. I mean, if we want to change something, then we think it would be subject to hearing as opposed to, I think at one point, we assumed we'd just hear an update on what happened at Fisher, and then we would later have a hearing if we needed to do something about Fisher. I mean, so when they talk about an agenda saying, they said, let's do this in June. Let's get through town meeting Fisher Street and Olympia Place. Some of these things might have more people who want to attend. Let's not try to squeeze in, right? People are town meeting, so once town meeting, that's why choosing a June date would be fun. Yeah, we'll give you a quick meeting during the fourth, assuming the town meeting can be in May. Yeah, I think some of it's driven by the notification of 15 days until we put the pieces together. We've not heard anything that would suggest change at Fisher Street or Olympia Place. We just would be getting an update on where they are. It's like we need a motion per se to schedule it, but I think it would be, as soon as we can, relative to the appropriate notice to the public, but the idea being we put all of those parking-related things, both hearing-related and non-hearing-related, together on one night. So that all will be together, yes. Thank you. That's helpful. It's just trying to understand if we, I guess it might make the most sense to advertise Olympia Place and Fisher as hearings, just from the standpoint of giving ourselves maximum flexibility if we decide to do something different associated with, particularly with Olympia Place, with the meter. That was more concrete. Fisher was more a matter of employment of resources, as to whether or not that would work. And obviously, we're not going to cut them off on June 1st, if we don't have the hearing until the 1st or the 11th, because that's just not how we do things. Along those lines, would that also be the night that we could then discuss whether or not we are planning to continue the charge of the downtown parking working group, which is currently set to expire at the end of June, rather than talking about it in, you know, August. Right, right. Well, unless they're under the holdover rules, they're not because they have a time limited charge, but they have the charge set. Okay, I mean, I don't want to stop, but I hear what you're saying. Which, which thing? The charge says they're done. So I think, yeah, given the, you know, the idea of maximum flexibility, you can certainly notice the public hearing sort of all those topics. Which might get more people interested if their worry is going to change in some way. But nonetheless, I think that's all right. Is there anything else on the working group recommendations? I mean, I think the idea was to preview it with this group to see if there were any particular concerns to be answered before we got into a more public, you know, hearing kind of situation. Okay, yes. Yeah, that was my assumption that we wouldn't go ahead and advertise hearings without it having to be highlighted. It's almost like first law. First, nobody looked already good. So that's really helpful. And then, yeah, if we could just add to the list a little bit. At least a discussion, if not a decision on the continuation of downtown parking working group, or if it's being brought into tact, or, I mean, we had theories a while back as to what was going to work. That doesn't necessarily mean that's what we think now. Well, it's good because they can come, if members are in town, then they can come for both of those decisions. Exactly, maximize all parking all the time. So, I'm just not sure if I might, I wasn't sort of listening, but June 11th or 25th, are you looking at it, or are you also looking at the June 4th? Somehow some soon. Yeah, June 4th seems quickly to get a notice ready. It might be the quickest, I mean, that's the earliest in June is all. I doubt it's that quick. So I'm kind of highlighting the 11th through the 25th is the more likely, but mainly, you have to move really fast to get to the Gazette in time. I mean, you'd know better than any of us would. And now we've added other categories, so. Yeah, I can, I think that if we think the 4th is going to be too quick for official notice and stuff, then the next logical is the 11th. So we'll make a note of that. So I think we can move on to our next item of business, which is the authorized stop sign at Intersection Kerry Lane and Bay Road. And we have a memo from Mr. Seales in our packet and checklist. And I think we even got tonight, we may have even gotten a map, and put them on the desk. Yeah, our best site. We got a map that we're drawing on. So is there anything that you want to introduce? There's something that has been noted by the neighbors and there's some conversation. There's no, in order to install it, the software needs to vote it. Now there's no hearing requirement. And if you use all the criteria, it's determined by the county engineer. So are there any questions about the stop sign? Ms. Brewer? I was just going to say that it was incredibly helpful to have the checklist information. We haven't always been provided that in the past. And it's very informative, and it lets us understand better how those decisions are made. And obviously I'm sure that they intended to put the map in our packet originally, because then we wouldn't have all had to look it up to remind ourselves where that was. But there's no sort of further questions or comments. I would entertain a motion. Someone would like to make it? I'll revise motion sheet. Okay, go ahead. I move to approve the installation of the stop sign and stop bar on Canterbury Lane where it intersects with Bay Road and Southeast Street. They have a license for the stop bar, so a new liberal license. Is there further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. So that's unanimous. Thank you. So next our agenda is review and take positions on April 30th in your 10 meeting articles. I think we do have a couple left. 25, which is free cash, 27, and 34. I think with 34 we took a position, but I think there are some additional options that we may not have formally articulated in our actions, so we may want to augment what we did relative to that particular article. So I'm open to starting with any one of those three. Well, it's one other, and that is we're going to have a formal position and respond to any motion to reconsider a budget that might arise. Perhaps that would be best. So I'm noting on our motion sheet that the article 25, which is free cash, doesn't specify amount, which as of this moment is 75,000, which in general that article is necessary to balance our budgets, which is required to set our tax rate and certify our general position with state. So we may want to take our our motion on that one first thing. That's the easiest one of the bunch. Anyone wants to pop our motion relative to article 25? I have a question. So if there's going to be an amount, there's already an amount. Right. Some years there is no amount. Right. And the amounts just going to be what the finance committee tells us is the right amount. Right. So unless we disagree with them for some reason. Right. I mean we dismissed article 26, which could be the other way to balance the budget, which is so this is really our only opportunity and so we have to come into balance. So I think usually, you know, if there's no need for free cash to balance the budget, then we dismiss it. And otherwise we have we are almost compelled to recommend it. But we do know right now we already need money because of the money that's already added. So unless that gets reconsidered as well, at this point we know that there's additional money that's going to come in free cash as opposed to the years when there's no need and it gets dismissed like 26 does. Right. Well, my question would be when we talked about if there's a motion to recruit considering it adds more money to to the budget that also needs to come out of free cash, then we have a moving target. Right. So if we vote in the amount of $75,000, which is now known, but if something else happens or is that what I was trying to say is whatever amount the finance committee tells us is the right amount. Unless we had a reason to disagree with the finance committee, which seems hard for me to imagine. Or it's a scenario. So the motion that said that right on the mount. Exactly. Because does that make sense? Yes. So I mean that's what other councils do. They recommend the advice of the finance committee, but I was told that we don't do that here. So whatever. We don't. But we don't do that moving targets. Maybe we do now. We could have set a precedent for a future county. Exactly. I mean, it makes sense. I mean, if you really want to get able about this, you could say $75,000 or such amount, because the finance committee may recommend, you know, you could put all the options in. All right. That puts a moment in time as to where we are. Right now. Right. Okay. Or. So was that a motion? I mean, or is it a proposed amendment to the motion? Right. Or whatever. No, it's not. Well, we haven't moved yet. So I don't know. Ms. Currier, I believe, is going to ask me. Sounds good. No, that makes sense. Either $75,000 or the amount recommended by the finance committee. Yeah. So that's a motion. I already circled recommends so clearly. Nobody yet? I did. So we have a motion and a second for the decision. Hearing none. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. That's not much. That's unanimous. Getting more like other towns all the time. So we have, so Article 27, we haven't taken any position on at this point. There have been a bit of a question relative to a line in the, actually in the original proposed article. And do you want to report on what we heard from John Council relative to that? Or yeah, there's a question that came up about because this transfer for the purpose of affordable housing to the slot board and then transfer to the municipal affordable housing trust for the purposes of affordable housing. That means the property can only be used for affordable housing unless a future legislative body says it can be used for something else. So in a future legislative body would have to say that anyway, if you think, according to John Council. Now do you think there is vote of that body? Yes. So it doesn't forever bind in a way that prevents action. It just requires them to take an extra step that would hopefully be clear as they were at that point. So I would entertain a motion on this article that we have that clarity and again the motion that's going to be made is going to be revised from the article that was in the warrant. I move to recommend to the April 30th, 2018 annual town meeting article 27 transfer and authorization East Street School to the Amherst Municipal Affordable Housing Trust. And I'll speak to that. Yeah. And Mr. Mr. My artist was weak. So was that a second? Mr. Wall. All right. These are for the discussion on that. The one thing I would in discussing the transition and and articles that are potentially under the guise of of not being sort of consistent with that or not. I debated about, you know, should I present that broad topic under article 27 or should I wait till later? Because I think I took 27 and 33 so that that topic could be broached into how we got to our positions. Um, and so, you know, if it was a preference to do it 27 or a preference to do it later as far as, you know, talk about how we go about it. Well, wouldn't each one have maybe its own statement, although it's kind of related. Like I was thinking something in general for 27. Like we did, um, the guidance from town attorneys keeping law was that we could act on this, but we did have extensive discussion of our own about that and did find it appropriate. And then whatever, you know, just so that it's been very brief, not diving in. Right. That was kind of the direction I was leaning on. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, Mr. Wohl. We were saying, you know, I took it that the first article that comes up was the best chance to, I mean, we have no chance right to talk about the chart yet. Right. I'm actually thinking so. Right. Right. Right. Start to frame it a little. Okay. Okay. Okay. So is there further discussion on article 28? Hearing none. All those in favor? Say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? So that's unanimous. Relative to article 34, I think what we need to move on. Since I was bothering you about it, Mr. Slaughter, I can speak. Please. So the, what we had done at the time, way so many weeks ago when we thought we were actually going to get to decide what article's time meeting was going to have time. Ha-ha on us. So we were right here. We had at that time come up with some language on both article 33 and 34 that said the select word finds that the, that article 34 or the April 30th meeting is not consistent with, whatever, dot, dot, dot, and recommend referral to planning board. And that made sense. But then later as we realized things were playing out differently and we had multiple positions on some things. And of course on article 34, the planning board has multiple positions. It says recommends referral to the planning board because they're willing to take it up. If refer fails, does not recommend. And I guess my question would be if we have, if we have a strong feeling one way or the other, because our other option is to, other than not recommend, is also to recommend dismissal or to move dismissal. So we have multiple choices. But the planning board does go before we do associated with this. And it does not look what they would do is they, it looks like they would recommend referral, but they're not going to move referral. So, you know, it's one of those where we're all trying to feel it out as we go along. So often we just recommend things. We don't make the motion, but sometimes we do make the motion itself. I think when we discussed this, we did. It can be reserved. So you guys can, it is subject to make. I think we, we talked about whether we would actually make the motion to refer, which I think we said we would if that was a case. Now, if that goes down, do we want to make the motion to dismiss if it's not made by the planning board? That's the question. So that would be disproved. So my feeling is yes and yes. Yes, we should make the motion to refer so that that's clearly there to be moved and voted on. And then I think should that motion to refer fail, then I would like us to move to dismiss. Okay. Would you like to craft that into a motion? Do we move to dismiss or we recommend dismiss? Well, once so if, I mean, it all depends on how things play out, right? So assuming the petitioner says they want to do it, they make the motion in terms of except they're going to change their motion and then they're going to speak to their motion and then the planning board is going to say refer to us, but they're not going to say, I recommend, I mean, I move to refer. They're going to say, we recommend referral to us. And then Mr. Slaughter will then say, I move to refer to the planning board. And then we'll fight about that for a while. I'm sorry, I argue, by whatever. To bait. To bait. I'm sure that's the word I was looking for. Yes, very civilly. And then if that fails, I don't know that the moderator will necessarily look to us again, unless we ask him to or if he'll be willing to look to us for a second motion at that point, if that's kind of our initial shot and then it's open to everybody after that. So if referral if referral fails, then he'd say, well, we're back on the petitioner's motion. And then the next person to raise their hand that moves to dismiss then that could happen. But I'm not sure if he'll let us do it or we'll just, it's awkward. Well, he's been pretty willing to recognize what we're doing. So you may not be the first one called after he opens it up for discussion. We'd be likely to be called soon into the discussion and we know we can catch other motions. Is that possible? Do you have a solution? So I think the intent of the select board is clear. We can check with the moderator and see, you know, we know your sequence of actions. You'd like to make two motions. He would recognize you to do that.  We're following. Yeah, the heads up. So there's no surprises for him. So speaking of motions, do we want to take a motion to articulate that point of view? Well, the third question is that if both of those motions are made and failed, and then we're stating a position, do we have a position? Is that going to be a separate motion? And our third position is if you, if Tom even chooses to not refer and not dismiss, that we do not recommend this. I'm not recommending. So that's your third. So can we get all the motion? I'll bet, I'll bet the time. Anna check. Yeah. Okay. What do you guys? To recommend to the April 3, 2018 annual county, article 34, positions that I'm bylaw are members of officials running math. To first recommend to move, to refer, to the planning board, if that fails, to move, to dismiss the article, if that fails, then to not recommend the article. So moved. Second. And there's a second. All right. Am I assigned to this one or is? Yes. You are. Lay lay in. Okay. Surprised. All right. Is there further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? So that's your answer. Mr. Slaughter, when you get to working on this, be happy to look and offer ideas. When we, yes, I would probably ask you the technical minutes. Please give me at least 24 hours. Oh, absolutely. Yes. Absolutely. So I think then the fourth thing relative to logistics and and I'm sorry, review and take positions on the meeting have to do with the emotion to potentially reconsider part of the budget. Do you want to introduce? Sure. So the moderator wrote to the select board informing them of the notion that someone might move to reconsider article eight. And he had a sort of scenario if the motion to reconsider passes and hit the scenario that you would like, he would seek to move this to the next town meeting. Whether that's Thursday or Monday, depending on what you move, that might be something you want to talk about tonight as well, whether you want to recommend at the conclusion this time if you want to meet Thursday or Monday. And then to put it, and he would also seek to move the free cash article to Monday towards Thursday and Monday as well. That's brutal. So the thing that I didn't understand about the email is that it seems like it makes sense for the moderator to try and lay out all these options. And then it seems like it should be up to the school committee if they wanted to do it tonight or next Monday night. And if they didn't have a preference, then I think we should state our preference. But I think we would normally support their preference. I'm not particularly interested in the moderator's preference. So looking to the school committee's preference. So do we know what the school committee's preference is? Did he find that out? In terms of the scheduling, I think Mr. Demling has been in contact with moderator. I don't know what their discussion has led to. I think Mr. Demling can talk about if it is considered for reconsideration he wanted to amend the motion by not privy to that conversation between. Whose decision is it? Well, technically, is it the moderator's decision? Yeah. Or does he think it's? Somebody has made a motion. So I would suspect that the moderator will strongly encourage the person making the motion to reconsider have at a date certain be their motion. Whether or not the petitioner so to speak takes that advice. That doesn't mean that they can't make the motion without that. But I mean, like I said, I really appreciate he laid out all the options. But I don't understand why we would push it off unless we had been told that superintendent can't be there. Nobody from the school committee can be there. It would be crazy to have nobody there. I don't think there's any more likelihood anybody's going to be there on Monday than tonight or Thursday for that matter. At this point. So I'm uncomfortable with pushing operating budget out yet further again when we thought we were done with it. Make you sense of my understanding as people are are noticed that this very likely could happen tonight and have made efforts to be here. Yes. Less convent, not less sure about that for Monday and I would think unless the school committee stated that preference that I would recommend these statements. We would like it to come tonight unless the school committee tells everybody else. I don't know if we have any way in in this though. You can state. I feel it's following that tonight is better and less as you said the school committee tells everybody else. Well because following up on that the person who advised the moderator they intend to make the motion did not tell the slough board they intend to make the motion. Did not take advantage of the publicly available Google group to explain to town meeting that they were taking the motion. Did not write to all the town meeting members in various precincts to tell them they were planning to make the motion. So given that there's been no coordinated effort from that end the fact that people are in fact making a point of trying to be here tonight in case this happens in the absence of the school committee just as Ms. Krueger said people are doing the best they can in the utter absence of information from the person making the motion. And so given that it seems incredibly unfair to suggest people come tonight because normally when you make a motion reconsider it it's for the same night and then say oh but actually just kidding we'll actually do it next Monday. That that doesn't seem like that isn't been something town meetings had any opportunity to consider just like they haven't been able to consider the merits of the proposal because no one's brought it forward. Right. So the motion reconsider if I'm understanding correct me I'm just making sure I'm just the motion to reconsider if that passes then the actual reconsideration itself is what would be scheduled to of later date certainly. Do you think that would be a separate motion? Okay. I think that's what the moderators said. Just what he's saying is that if it passes then. We'll take up the topic of reconsideration potentially a time if it's made and we'll vote that once that's voted then we're back you know as he often says to the exact place we were before that was voted and then I presume that can be procedurally scheduled to a date certainly. I don't want it scheduled for another date then tonight unless the school committee says that. Right. We have any way in yes we vote to reconsider and then we take it up but we take it up tonight unless the school committee doesn't want to. So given that in fact we are going to talk about coming to a position on the proposal we've seen no details about as to whether or not we would support reconsideration which I think in the absence of any information to tell us why we would support it we would not support it and inevitably when people talk about reconsideration if someone brings up the idea of it not being reconsidered tonight that will play into the decision as to whether or not to reconsider it because that has come up on the very few occasions we've ever done reconsiderations prior to this session of town meeting which were that are the people here that need to be here and so then people would say that's a reason for them to vote against reconsideration because those people aren't here and so it kind of all mixes together even though it's really only the question about the reconsideration it's also about why the reconsideration and why or why not we should do it and I think that we should make the statement given that that will happen I think we should make the statement along the lines of what was previously indicated that people made the effort to be here tonight believing that there was going to be such a motion and so if it passes which the select board in my opinion does not recommend that that the motion to reconsider passes it should not be rescheduled for another time it should be done tonight in the order that the moderator suggested can you make that into a motion? sure I'd say that's a motion the select board does not support does not recommend reconsideration of any part of the operating budget ever again and if reconsideration that passes is passed by town meeting then recommends that we proceed with the reconsideration tonight as the award given the other order of items that have been scheduled unless the unless the school committee requests otherwise a different date and like could we say we don't support reconsideration of the school budget because we're tying this to the school committee oh I guess we should say that rather than that any time ever yes that probably would be more proper I suppose it's not going to be yes I was just trying to be clever here exactly and seconded is it for the discussion hearing none all those in favor please say aye aye aye I'll make sure you name us wonder why we have to mute before town meeting maybe single yeah one other piece of business I believe which is the charter transition actually we have one one thing that we need to settle on that last one and that is we need to be clear as to who's speaking to it and what they're going to say I'm perfectly happy to not be the person like that I want to be clear so that the person can be prepared you may not be you either so we'll do it really oh I guess it should be not be me I could do it and do it Ms. Brewer I like that idea I'm so popular right now anyway yes let's go on okay good point Mr. Steinberg yeah I mean I have thought about it and I don't mind saying my thoughts on it real quickly and then we should go on to the other thing is we understand that the maker of the motion may state the reasons for what would be done with an amended motion that's fairly common to do that it may have to and it would appear it has to do with childcare and in not recommending their obvious points that childcare is not a function of the school committee but a pre-K program is not the same as childcare and the pre-K program needs to be developed carefully by the school committee and presented to us with a responsible education plan and budget which they have not had the opportunity to do that their significant capital costs could probably be involved in any such plan and it's further complicated by the fact that two buildings that might be considered are owned by the region and not by the town and those are the kinds of things that I think would be additional points to address. I have a question on that. We've talked it's been said different ways the south campus is actually owned by the town or by the region are we renting it to the region or do they do we transfer it to them? We don't have any records of it in any way so it's essential to go to the school committee to have them close to transfer the school in case they change the transfer of the building to the town in case they happen to own it right when we look through the records I sort of remember this conversation wherever we go and so it's not that's not actually by the region so they're thinking and putting there worried about time okay so we have one other topic which is under chartered transition yes yeah so as you know the charter language you met today after the county the special town being dissolved you've voted to forward the legislation approved by town being and authorized within the charter to the legislature as we were personally sent to them electronically and she handed a hard copy with the raised seal to the House Clerk office on May 4th Friday that legislation we've been told they have all the paperwork they need from the town to move forward on this legislation that our state representative has monitored this and it is now in the house in the joint committee on election law that's where it public hearing has not been scheduled yet but they will be scheduling a public hearing staff there and the leadership there are aware of the time sensitivity of this legislation and that's where it stands so at the agenda setting meeting we thought that there would be reason for the select board to restate its commitment to have this implemented as soon as possible and recommit to our position stating clearly the reasons why in your packet tonight is a motion that I wrote today and I've regret that it's coming up as late as I am because it's about 15 lines long but it would it does exactly that is to renew its request to the legislature and state the reasons therefore and so I just read the motion and we can discuss it I can do that and I can make it as a motion that nobody seconds it and so be it I move that the select board renew its request that the legislature enact the request of legislation to include a preliminary election for town council and the date of the state primary or election for the following reasons one this provision was adopted by the Amherst Charter Commission after a thorough process that included publication of a draft in hearings during which no comment was offered regarding the proposed date of the I can change that to preliminary election to the Charter was approved by Amherst voters on March 27 by a vote of 3,502 in favor 2,492 against three at a special town meeting held on April 30 the town voted 127 to 72 to make this request to the legislature after rejecting an amendment to change the date of the preliminary election again not to change for college students who testified before the select board and spoke at the town meeting supported the preliminary election date to coincide with the state primary because it would increase student vote in the council election five holding the election another date would reduce participation of all Amherst voters in the council election and six rejecting the September 4 primary in November 6 again preliminary election in November 6 general election dates and Amherst on constitutional grounds would be by the same would by the same logic jeopardize those election dates for the rest of the kind of wealth is there a second? second there is a second so for the discussion on this motion so two things should we send along since when we sent the original request normally you just hand them the legislation and they had the certified copy of the vote but should we send along the KP law information that we all had to show what town meeting had so everybody knows what everybody had because they might be curious about how we came to these conclusions as well as this being a very soft statement so we could send this as a cover so to speak associated with the KP law opinions on that and the other question I had is is it worth working in given how long this already is but is it worth working in somehow where it talks about the publication of the draft and there's technically associated with that but more of my concern is what I'm trying to work in is the fact that the people on the election committee may not be aware that the AGO also is and is required to review the draft and send it back to us and of the charter itself yes and that's not mentioned you mean they may not be particularly familiar with you know unless their towns change their towns change forms of government they may not be aware of that notice so I wonder if we can work that into the first provision where it talks about the publication of a draft that was also reviewed by the AGO and required hearing because some people think of hearings as just meetings and a required hearing something along those lines I would be fine with that being adapted later what we could do just be simple because we're running out of time is add a seventh point but make number two and then renumber after that number two being the charter was reviewed by the Attorney General's office that's right that's what yeah is required yeah it's good two things one in the languages I missed a pretty extensive motion here but the last one number six where you talk about unconstitutional grounds would by the same logic jeopardize you like so it seems a little strange that we're weighing in on a constitutional issue I would at least want to say could by the same logic not would because getting into that legal debate we've already seen much debate about the constitutionality and I don't mind having an opinion but rather than would I might suggest could and the other thing I just want to state is I think whatever actions we can take as a select board and as our staff to move this forward and keep it moving I see this as one of the most important tasks we have in the transition is to have this acted on so whether it's calling on the more experienced members of the larger delegation who offered to help us to help move this forward staff of Senator Rosenberg to help us in addition to our state representative but I just think I know it's up to that that the a joint committee on election law but any help that we can get I think this is the most important thing that we have to do a little frustrated we got to it at seven o'clock but how to really emphasize how important this is and the tiredliness of this is so important what we're trying to do so shall I those changes the language will take his friendly minutes is that all right yes and including the quirk could instead of wood and that last did you want to put the date of the publication of the draft yeah September yeah well actually that was a draft and then the important thing is is that it was published the mailing went until december right it was published in september okay of 07 i've just had of 2000 so what's the date no because it's been available 10 months since 20s right whatever the date but then it was legally what i do so that's what and then mail and go ahead and i'm mailed mailed mailed to as required right to all all of this all of this to resident how is residents of all registered voters yeah just all you know all of your not residents but not all residents but residents of all one to each residents of a registered any registered voter in december 2017 yeah i think that's actually important to include thank you for thinking of that i think that is valuable to mention i know it's about the moment when you said maybe break it up like a paragraph or something or something but okay okay the date is the the world is the world that this is a lot of part of this is there is there for the discussion hearing none all those in favor please say aye aye aye thank you for your interest and now we're going to recess thank you all

This is TFNN, The Tiger, Financial News Network. Good morning everyone, on this 20th day of September, this is Wednesday, we're looking at this Fed Day, Fed speak this afternoon between 2 and 2.45, we get a lot of information, that is 34,662 up 144 points in the Dow, it's gone, spiked over yesterday's high and it's in this inside track repellent zone, which will come up repellent zone this afternoon and after 3 o'clock, if it's trading I would say, I see subscribers, if it's up over 130, at that particular time we could have a very nice close, if it's down 130 it just means we're stuck in this range, looking at the S&P, we're looking at the S&P right now, and the S&P is trading up, I think it is up 14, yes it's up 14, and you know the 9p moving average in the Dow is pink, and the 9p moving average in the S&P is pink, that has to change, and if it changes you have to see 45, 44, I'd say 44, 72 or higher will start to make that green again, so we're watching this really closely because the QQQ, not green actions up 90 cents at 370, let's say oh and it turned yesterday, the 9p went under the 14 but it closed green, and now today it's got an S there and we're going to watching this very closely, IWM, IWM is a Russell 2000, very nice move up $1.76, and when it's 83, 44 it always does that, it has a sudden lost bit of hope, or gold is up nicely, up 10 at 1964, making the second cup formation, so it's a W, it makes the 4th, a 1970 200 period expansion, moving averages this afternoon, really important to close above, that would be very good for gold, we're looking at the dollar pulling back just a little bit, the dollar is pulling back 23 ticks at 104.92, it's at 4 sessions with lower highs than the 105.44 high that was made 5 sessions ago, we're going to be watching this for the close tomorrow, we might have a completely different scenario, and I'll talk about that because the TLT is right at the 92 support, it's at 93.37, the dollar is up at resistance, we're going to be watching to see whether these two very important influences kick in today, and Crudo in fact is down 6 cents, I'll be back for the Tiger Technicians Hour, check out my opening call, I need you to stay there, see you in a few moments.
