and concluding with us coming together with the Planning Commission on the 27th. I'll stop there. I'm going to stop my screen share and happy to answer any questions if we have time. So I'm going to see who we still have on the screen and Jeff is still with us apparently and I'm sure Ted is as well but are there questions for Matt regarding the plans we've just heard and going forward. Okay, thank you. Yes, I'm impressed with the minor work that's gone in so far. I was able to sit in on a couple of of the meetings and it was well done. Other questions or comments? So Matt, kind of this is I know it's infantile but what's the feedback from the public review? Is it feeling like we are very excited and good input on where we're hoping to go? So when this was all presented on May 3rd we did some interactive exercises where we actually had people opening a smartphone app at the same time they were watching their computer screen and giving input. We got a lot of positive feedback that night. This looks great, I'm really excited for it. Would love to see Taft Corners evolve into something like this. I think as people get into the details there are the friction points. That building they drew looks way too tall. I can't imagine four stories under a gable happening in Taft Corners. I don't want to have to park in a parking structure. I like that it's easy to park in Taft Corners and get in and get out in my vehicle. What's all this going to cost anyway? With some of our stakeholders, gosh you put all of that trader laying green on our land. There are a whole lot of moving parts underneath this but the vision is not the regulatory document. The vision is this is where we want to go and it wouldn't be real planning if it wasn't a compromise and if it wasn't going to continue to be a compromise. There are those challenges. There is that friction. We are suggesting in this vision a pretty fundamental change from what Taft Corners has been and a significant change from what Taft Corners has been developing into even with projects like Cottonwood and Finney. There are a lot of things in Cottonwood and Finney, our two most recent developments that are enhanced in this vision. It's definitely a step beyond them but it's definitely a little bit different, a little less parking, a little more structured parking, a little more of trying to keep a continuous building face on the primary streets so there's fewer gaps. Those are things the town has been striving for in its current development regulations since at least 2009 and we're getting a lot of it but as you start to really push that much more there are types of development that may not be compatible with this kind of pattern. The traditional big box certainly isn't. It's hard to build a big box and pull it up to street and hide all the parking behind it. That's not what those retailers see as feasible for them to do in a suburban place. There are friction points. You're going to hear about things that are going to be difficult or that may not work or that may need a lot of other things to happen before they will work. I've been around long enough that I'm probably a little bit inured to that and I'm just going to go, yeah, it's always complicated, it's always difficult, there's always compromise. So my advice would be as those things come up, don't get too scared off by them. You know there will be a code that lives under this that deals with some of that. We are anticipating a development code that keeps the DRB in the process, the Development Review Board probably gives them some authority in terms of waivers and ways of adjusting some of these things as they confront various realities that are going to come up. But I think the vision and the feedback we got from folks who came and participated and came and saw that initial presentation, the vision is solid and I think it is representative of what the community was saying they wanted in those public input sessions. That was in the details. Nope, that's nice to hear because I think you know I won't speak for everybody here but I'm excited about it as well and I just hear the beauty of the town around just seeing a not a complete overhaul but just an enriching factor to make things more aesthetically pleasing and I think it is tough when you get in the nuts and the bolts of things because everybody has their own kind of view of where they want it to go and I think it's good input but how you sift through it and where we end up well you know that's the process. So you know as one participant said to me well you can do whatever you want down in Taft Corners just keep it out of Williston and you know we really encouraged our participants to flip that and imagine if all somebody knew about Williston was Taft Corners what would you want it to be like? Oh Williston that's got that thing in Taft Corners I go to really like that and you'd say oh well we also have farms and trails and you know villages and things like that that would be that would be really interesting if it were if it were kind of flipped around so we did ask people those things is what would make this uniquely Williston and some of that input is in that vision plan. Some of it definitely plays out in the provision of all those green spaces the bike ability you know that this is a town where people are excited to be able to bike around where we have a nice path system we'd love to connect to it better and it's a town through its plan that says we care about making housing accessible to people and making Williston an accessible place for people to be and you know we we probably economically can't do that all in single family homes which is what we get mostly outside of the growth center so you know keep all those things in mind as this continues for sure. Thank you for your effort your staff and everybody involved as Ted said because I think it's a really good vision. Yeah I'd like to express a little bit of gratitude for folks who on town boards select board who are able to participate and especially to our citizens because we had over 150 citizen participants across our different meetings including you know zoom meetings that happened on Saturday mornings of all times and people still came and you know as a planner that nothing makes me feel better than than when people show up to participate in those things for sure. Thank you very much. Thank you. If there's nothing more on this we can move on then to the development by law amendment regarding retail cannabis and you have a memo you gave to us on that as well. I do no wonder when you're doing this if you could those who don't remember the boundaries of the very two zoning districts that would be helpful too. Absolutely so you know big picture the planning commission is working on a by-law amendment to deal with the retail sale of cannabis in reaction to state law making the sale of cannabis for non-medicinal purposes eventually allowable in Vermont keeping in mind that absent a town vote to opt in to retail cannabis none of this would happen but my advice to this board going back about a year now was consider what you might want to have in place in zoning so it's there should that vote happen because it could happen by petition or it could happen because the select board chooses to put it on the ballot for a little while we had legislation going this year that would have forced towns to take a vote so we wanted to be ready for that that came out before that was adopted so where we're starting from the retailing of recreational cannabis if we didn't do anything to the zoning by-law it would be allowed in the Taft corners district because that's where that category of it's essentially miscellaneous retail would be allowed by default and we do have a by-law today that in reaction to 2011 legislation around medicinal cannabis allowed that retail sale with a permit from the development review board in the industrial zoning district so that's what we started from planning commission had a really good broad ranging conversation about this issue considered a lot of different ways geographically of where this might be allowed and under what conditions it might be allowed we talked about should it just be in Taft corners with all of the other most intensive retail there were some reasons related to proximity to walkability proximity to places that young people tend to be around unattended that led the planning commission not to recommend allowing it in the Taft corners district the commission did want to identify more than one part of town where it could be allowed in part because different parts of town attract different users different retailers with different amounts of money to invest so there's a little bit of that equity concern reflected in that of making sure it wasn't just in one zoning district that was really expensive to go into they settled on allowing both retail recreational and medical cannabis sales in the mixed-use commercial zoning district and the gateway zoning district north I have some maps I can share they're at the tail end of my memo but I can I can put them up and so the mixed-use commercial district is the big box district essentially the and the gateway north is up off of route 2a near the Essex line so here's gateway north it's the Winooski River and so this is where the car wash is the hardware store gas station james brown drive etc and I'm going to gloss over some of the shading on that for a second and just show you mixed-use commercial a little further down age mixed-use commercial district harvest lane home depot wal-mart food science the harvest lane island gardener supply resource etc sorry resources right there this is ups on the other side so those are the two proposed districts I want to talk a little bit about the hatching on this map because one of the things that the commission put in their draft bylaw was buffering from residential properties they recommended a 200-foot buffer from the parcel boundary of any residential property so that's the black cross hatch that you see extending over portions of the gateway district this also shows that going across route 2a because there's residential on the other side of route 2a from this district but the board when they look at this map said let's let's exempt that buffer if it crosses a state highway so in this in the text draft this would not apply to those properties that are fronting on route 2a and then you'll see here in mixed-use there's not a lot of residential use there's a few homes up here on route 2 so that doesn't take very much out we talked about considering a school's buffer and then the other buffer that we can't really map yet but we talk about in the draft language is buffering retail cannabis operations from one another so that you didn't have a strip um so a thousand foot separation between outlets um sort of sort of just ensuring that you don't get too many of one thing in one place um altogether so that that you know these are not gigantic zoning districts um it limits functionally the number of outlets uh to probably no more than three in the mixed-use district and maybe two or three depending on how they're placed in the gateway north that's still you know four or five of them that's that's probably anticipating more than would show up but that that buffering language is in there as well this bylaw amendment would also remove the permission to have the medical dispensaries in the industrial district so it would be just be the same medical versus recreational in these two districts it would still require a DRB review with some discussion of security plans some limits on signage hours of operation I think they actually agreed last time on a little more liberal set of hours of operation in here but I want to I want to stop there for a second and just remind everybody that this is just a check-in so this is not a thing that's been held for public hearing with the planning commission they specifically wanted to give the select board an interim look at this the direction they're heading so we could have a conversation with the select board is this the right direction are there things that folks are seeing here that they really want to see fundamentally changed because this is one way of doing it I think the planning commission is more interested in achieving some consensus with the select board than necessarily this exact set of zoning districts or a number of feet or number of hours etc really wanted to send me over here just to have a preliminary chat about it so we'll do that if there's feedback that I can work into this we'll do that before we run the planning commission hearing process before you see it backed for a transmittal sorry dear not Matt people at home or have an audio trouble they can't hear thank you there was something earlier in the chat core and I wonder if that okay sorry thank you so Matt you mentioned the school potentially writing in a school buffer is that I mean I know there's no schools that would fall in these zones currently but thinking about you know the vision for the town long term will you write in a school buffer just to you know have that um you know in place um as the town continues to grow and develop and eventually you know may require additional school space um we we could do that it's not in this draft I think I think the reason it mostly came out of this draft was just because we don't have schools that create buffers in these districts right now for a while the commission looked at the business park district effectively Blair Park where there's BTC and daycare and we're thinking about what if and whether those things should be buffered and in both cases the conversation around that was the the kids at the daycare were probably too young to really be impacted and most of the folks at BTC would be close to of age given given the school and that there wasn't as much concern about that and then that district came out anyway in the conversation so um I don't know that um a school buffer would be a deal breaker to write in if if folks on the board felt strongly um about about having something like that I just I see that you know there I you know the one the mixed use there's not a public school but I know that there is a private school um not far from that area um and you know I mean a private school could certainly you know come into one of these spaces as well so I just I think it might be beneficial to have that language in there um you know preliminarily um the agency of education would have a lot to say about where a school is located for sure for they would require a certain amount of area for playgrounds and things like that and design of buildings and so that would go a long ways if they were looking at particular areas of the of the town to build they would come into play as well other comments or questions other comments all right perfect thank you I'll thank you I'll discuss the school buffer idea with them and you'll probably see this back after the hearing is held good thank you thank you Matt um we would probably go to the Black Lives Matter flag discussion if Jeff is back with us at this point yep Jeff's rejoined us a few yeah right on time okay Jeff back we've got great everyone else I expect so we do we will go to the Black Lives Matter flag discussion and Eric you want to lead off and it will also take almost from Crystal Lee McSweeney talking regarding the the partnership with Wilson-Rachael equity partnership yep and Crystal Lee I see you in the attendees I'm going to connect as a panelist now while I I'll give a brief introduction here so just to lead off last February the select board passed the motion the flag the Black Lives Matter flag on the flag pole in front of the town hall through June 21st which includes Juneteenth uh June 19th coming up this week the duration of displaying the flag was requested by the board to be revisited prior to the end date in that original motion that was passed included in the agenda is a letter submitted by the Wilson-Rachael equity partnership on this topic for consideration and Crystal Lee McSweeney our Community Justice Center director will be speaking on behalf of that group that she staffs this evening so we're going to have a few months we have more time to get to know one another we've started the mission statements and are working together with friends on how we can will ability Wilson as we create the heart that we're deciding that our current system by community is applying the information for a free of name on who that is and I think that's very hard is our tool to connect all of the benefits for our community so that we can make the better of each other and to reflect deeply on what it means not only to stand up and be important but also to maintain this flag and to reflect the importance both in evidence and in two industries and in our tools the meaning that it can be made to continue finding the right way to make the information in front of the flag and the unit is there as a symbol maybe to look at any type of meaning in the answer I mentioned if all of us with no question can do that or if we are moving in the role of our communities to work with the needs of the community, the money, and the whole community and it's So just wanted to share a quote that came in in the community in the middle of a round of reviews, who shared a more meaningful information level that there is a work in my community that represents who I am and who my family is, but not often of yours being more appreciated. Good, thank you. We just had a person come into the room. We just had a person in the room. Yeah, we just had somebody come in the room. I'm not sure if he wants to speak or not, but apparently he does. So if you want to come up to the microphone, introduce yourself and tell us what you'd like to talk about. Well, my name is Brant Dicken, and I've lived here for quite a while, and I've been on the original group that helped, was instrumental in getting the flag flown in our town. And I want to say that it's really glad to be here in person.  And I just wanted to say how happy and proud I have been that the Black Lives Matter flag has been a very difficult year for all of us. And I think it speaks really well of our community. And since the flag was put up, there's a countless amount of injustices that have occurred. You know. And so nothing has like improved at all. And I think it's really important to keep the flag up. And I think that the way Williston, you know, voted at least in the last election, I think it's muted on the room. Am I coming through to everybody? We're barely having some difficulties. Cured now? That, you know, three-fifths of the presidential election voted for Joe Biden. So I think that that gives us an indication that our community, at least three-fifths, would like to see the flag remain in my opinion. So I'm done talking and thank you for the time. Thank you. Eric, are there other folks who wish to weigh in on this? They're listening in. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for taking time. Hi. This is a little talk about how I'm going to answer it. And it doesn't depict a lot of people that are comfortable. But my question would be why? Why should there not be a flag? Why shouldn't there be a Chinese flag? Why shouldn't there be a Japanese flag? Why shouldn't there be... You have all of these things that we look at in the flag. Being separate from our flag, that leads out to a lot of us. And I really like what Eric did. You're going to fly on a flag. You're finally here and all the others want you to be able to take place about a month of their respective time or year. It's not something that should be flown all the time. What should happen? Should there be a flag? Again, another word for this. A flag.  They specify that they do.  This is something that's become a political issue. That it's not representative of actually what the message is supposed to mean. And there could be something else. You want to know something? But take down the flag. Because it doesn't. The message that portrays is not a valid method to what, and if I think there's a slight one saying that it didn't ignore some of the things that they are, such as Marxists, it doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. I feel that's poorly, poorly represented. It doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. People start to represent their own. They wait and be stated at their process. And look up the definition of that. That's buying and sending. They break this for all the other people that it doesn't understand. So, you know, So, thanks for the time that's talking about it. Okay. People need to. Thank you. Other other folks who wish to speak. I don't see any other hands raised or anything in the chapter. We'll just give it a moment. If anyone else would like to comment, please let me know in the chat or by raising your hand at this time. I don't see anyone else. Thanks. Members of the board. Any comments, questions. Before I ask for a motion. Okay. Okay. One of the. We are. People may say. We shouldn't be. We should take stands on. You know, So. One of the things that we are. The town government is a. What. This is an exception. Do have any. So. I say that. Is when. When the. And. The angry emails. I think. People were there. For her. I think. To preserve the flag. And such to be without. We need to see her. And. We're all. I didn't think that long. The. In front of the events. Where. Personally. I'm a member of the board. In the early industry. Or. Being. I. And. And yet. And they were coming from people that supported. What they want. So. I'm very concerned about that. The. This. Issue. Is. And so. And. And. The. You know. Where. We're. We're trying to say. All I need is the. The. This. This issue is far better. Small. And. We still. Still. Remember. Only. Very serious. And. Well. I'm there. And. And. And. And. And. And. And. And. And. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. Eh. Or. So this phase of setting is required. Like reading the message that's sending. Why are they not able to know? There's still a lot of energy here to where people are, and really be able to breathe since they're hanging out. You don't have to go ahead, you don't have to go necessarily back to people. They have to say that we should, we should be, I would like to add that I see the continued flying of the Black Lives Matter flag as an important first step for our community in acknowledging that we are a town that's committed to equity and justice. And that there, the acknowledgement that there is still much work to be done to overcome the history of racism that has for too long threatened Black Lives in this country. And I do support the continued raising and flying of the Black Lives Matter over town hall. I understand the concerns raised by, by Ted about flying it indefinitely or permanently. I think that this is a topic that could be revisited again at a future date, but I do think a more permanent or a longer timeframe is in order for flying the flag at this time. Other comments. Jeff. Please do. I think I agree that we should make a permanent decision. I hope I trust that someday I would feel it's appropriate to no longer fly the Black Lives Matter flag. My concern is that time is probably in some of the distant future. We need to have a reminder to that time. Thanks. So I definitely want to weigh in on this as well because I do support the movement. I think it's an important one. I do want to remind folks that there are other perceptions that are out there, whether you agree or disagree with them, that's your prerogative. But I also feel that actions have always spoken louder than words or any sign or message that's out there. That's how I was raised. That's what I truly believe in. And I think it is appropriate right now to continue what we're doing. But I also think how we proceed with other groups is an important thing to consider. And I'm a school teacher and I believe in equity from the beginning of the day to the end. But I also want to make sure that all voices are heard. And we spoke about this earlier this year. And I just think we're elected officials. This is a really important issue. And I think it's something that the whole town has an opinion on, not just five people on this board. And I know I'm going to hear probably feedback that that's why we're here. And that's why we're listening and making decisions on this. But I do feel that it's a community. And we all live in it and we should live and breathe what we say and what we do and how we respect and treat each other. But I do feel that the duration of the flag should be longer right now because of what's going on. I don't think anything has changed as you've said earlier this evening. But I'm also concerned about the duration of the word permanent and what that means for longevity of the town and other groups and other perspectives. I'll start comment there. Thank you. So it appears that we are all in agreement that we could continue to fly the flag. The question is, is there a time limit that we wish to put on it tonight? Or just a matter of saying that the flag will fly in full, we make a different decision. And that can occur at any time. So I'd be looking for a motion. There's motions for a second. So we have a second to the motion. Then on motion. Hearing no discussion, then all those in favor of the motion say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. I don't think we'll have surely tonight she brief me a conversation earlier so I can update for the board. So the right now the assessor and the listeners are in the process of finalizing the grand list this week. So we don't have a recommended tax rate prepared for the select board tonight. A calendar fell, they held grievances last week and the grand list is being finalized right now. So I asked the board to consider holding a special meeting later this month as your next meeting is July 13th based on the calendar. We have to mail tax bills out by the 15th and the second round on the 13th wouldn't lead a lot of. It would be a pretty large never to give the bills up by then so I might suggest if the board is available having a brief meeting on Tuesday June 29th two weeks from tonight town assessor Bill Heming can join in that discussion and staff will have a recommendation on the tax rate to consider that evening. I will share bills shared with Shirley today that Shirley passed on that our grand list projection is looking as we predicted during the budget process where we anticipated to come in either level or a very slight increase at that. We'll have more information later this week as the listeners finalize that with the town assessor. They have a problem with meeting for a short meeting on the 29th of June. I'm going to be on a vacation I'm sure the rest of you are eager to meet me. I can be available for a very brief, very personal cost. Thank you. So we'll plan on meeting on the 29th and hopefully a short meeting on that date and at the usual time seven o'clock. We've done the annual wage employee wage adjustments we're moving on to the financial management questionnaire. The board has this in their packet it's an annual document that the town completes by the treasurer so treasurer Mary Grant completed this pursuant to this requirement. The board is not required to approve this document but rather the board is suggested to acknowledge receipt in the form of a motion. If there's any questions on this document I can connect surely to answer any of those this evening. Anybody have any questions regarding the document? Emotion has been suggested also. I'll move to acknowledge the receipt of the financial management questionnaire for fiscal year 2021. Zero second. One second. Is there any discussion on the motion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye. Aye. I got four. I don't see Jeff though. He's got his hand up. Pardon me? He has his hand up. He's raising it. Okay. So we're done with that. Manager's report is next. And I've got a number of items that I came to light after my written report early in the week here that I'll update the board on this evening. First, I did touch on this in my written report that the ARPA funds, the town I've submitted the required paperwork with Shirley's assistance for our first distribution of ARPA funds, which I throw that acronym around a lot lately. It's the American Recovery Plan Act funds that were passed by Congress earlier this year. You might recall our initial projection for this was $2.9 million based on a county allocation that would be prorated to municipalities in Vermont. So I guess I can start with the good news this evening is we have part of our number determined, which is our local municipal corporate entity allocation, which is $1.05 million. And we expect half of that to be transferred into an account we've set up this month and the other half about a year from now. The town will have until December 2024 to decide how to spend that money and until December 2026 to spend those funds. The additional piece here is the county funds that were discussed earlier this year. I was told at a meeting last week the U.S. Treasury Department is starting to take it. It's taken a different viewpoint on this county government allocation to municipalities. So we're in a bit of limbo with that piece right now. I hope to have more information for the board in the short term as we receive more information. But the U.S. Treasury, the viewpoint being taken is to just provide that to the county governments and not the local governments. Our congressional delegation is aware of this issue. I've been briefed by the LCT and the regional planning commission last week. And I hope to have an update from both of them soon on this news. We'll look at it as glass half full that the town has received a million dollars through this program. And we'll have an update for the select board. I hope in the next month or two as staff reviews more of the 80 page requirements for how to spend this money to discuss how the board like to proceed in making a plan and looking at some options and a community feedback to be involved in discussions. Update on the request the board had for the pyrotechnic noise making devices, noise ordinance variants in early May. We'll have this fact be able to have this back on the agenda at the 1st July meeting. I've had some continued conversations with the airport and USDA. We're looking to set up is the airport's going to be able to provide a video as a demonstration and then the solid waste district has offered. And I know a few board members have shared with me interest in watching a demonstration in person. So solid waste district could do this anytime the next couple of weeks. And I was looking for any feedback from the board tonight on when the schedule this. They offer they could do it at 8 in the morning around new time, 4pm, pre open the next couple of weeks. So if the board had any feedback for me this evening on your schedules, I could work to get that on the calendar. I'd vote for a morning. Yeah, I'm going to do July, like, if through 8th, I'll be out of town, but otherwise mornings are best. Noon time is I have several hungry mouths. That's good to head Jeff with 8 o'clock in the morning. Either you were interested and Ted, you sounded interested. Okay, so I will Okay, this will likely be in the Redmond Road area and they've even offered if the board would like this setup. We could stage about a certain a quarter mile from where they let them off. Then we can move to half mile or in a mile and have different iterations there to see what the noise is like. Granted with a caveat that this is different terrain than over on Avenue B. But I have spoken with the airport and they may be able to do some modeling for us. I'm trying to get a visual of how far these may be heard in the area to help inform the discussion for the select board and provide feedback for a number of residents who have reached out to me on this topic. So we'll work to get that scheduled. It's on the board. It's a cheer and short term may depend on when direction to still how far we can hear it. So then the next thing I wanted to mention was the COVID-19 state of emergency is ending as of 12 01 tonight. Come a long way was really welcome news to hear that from the governor earlier this week. And so we've been looking at staff some of the requirements that are now ending with the to coincide with the end of the state of emergency. And one is board meetings moving ahead. We've had our second hybrid setup this evening. And so as of after today, well, all boards will need to revert back to being able to provide public physical meeting location access moving forward town town staffs prepared for that along with the team of the hybrid setup for select board. DRB and all boards that meet next door in the annex. We have some other AV equipment. We've ordered to provide that opportunity for folks moving ahead. I'm chatting with department heads tomorrow. Just thinking about our operational policies here in terms of mask wearing kind of my thought is we'll continue to ask folks who aren't back saying to put a mask on when they come to the town hall for the next couple of weeks. And then I just wanted to see if there's consensus by the select board to have that, that same approach for board meetings until we change it out the town office. I'm thinking early, early to mid July. We may need be time to adjust that. Just to make sure the board was in support of that approach. Don't see anybody shaking their head. No. So, okay. And then I, um, or the July celebration, we're going to have a couple of different transportation options this year. We've been able to set up a shuttle that we're going to pilot that will go from make a loop through Allenbrook school to Finney crossing area, half corners. And bring folks down to the community park and then local motions going to provide valet bike parking for folks who want to ride their bikes that evening. So we'll have some volunteers helping out with that and hoping to pilot both of these efforts this year and continue growing this event years to come. If this new location becomes a good location moving ahead. And last, I'll just mention I toured the lamp light water line replacement project with the public works director Bruce for last week. And it's remarkable to me how quickly they're moving that project. It's, uh, they've finished the first loop. I believe on white birch lane and I watched them late. Some pipe and it's quite the operation going on. So it's a, I've gotten good feedback from the contractor. We, um, what they'll do is replace the water line and start replacing the service lines. We anticipate hopefully no, no large downtime for service disruption. We had a minor issue the other day with the water disruption, but those are likely with the project like this. Things will come up. But if any slip or members are interested in touring the work site, just let me know and I can certainly arrange that with Bruce. That's all I have a sitting chair. Thank you. Any other business to be brought forward tonight. I just have for Jeff and Ted, there's a document to sign a user fee schedule that we adopted at the last meetings that'll be here for your signatures. Um, congratulations to our high schoolers and eighth grade folks who are graduating. I know that Ted's daughter is one of those who is graduating or has graduated, so good luck to them. And if there's no other business tonight, then I'm ready to say we're adjourned.


So now we're gonna look at some of the payroll reports. Payroll is a little bit tricky for a couple different reasons. One is that it's kind of hard to run in a demo type of file because it's something that kind of needs to be updated and up to date all the time. It's also usually an add on type of feature in most accounting software, not just zero as it is here in zero as well. If you go to the dropdown and scroll down here, you can see that you have you payroll powered by gusto options. It's like an add on type of feature that we talked about in a prior presentation.


The Explosive Ornance Disposal Lateral Screener Test is used to evaluate active duty Marines applying for the 2336 EOD Technician MOS. The screener is a multi-stage process that tests the Marines physical and mental fortitude. These tests help determine whether the Marine is capable of the extreme pressure individuals face while actively disarming potentially lethal explosives. The battery of tests begins with the Marine Corps PFT. Physical fitness is a necessity for EOD technicians. The second test is a written exam, testing the Marines knowledge of various explosives and detonation devices as well as different types of ordnance used by the Marine Corps. The third test is a bombsuit drill, testing basic agility while wearing the 80-pound suit and the Marines ability to handle possible claustrophobia with the suit on. The fourth test is the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test to ensure that all EOD technicians are prepared for the rigors of modern combat operations. The fifth and final test is an interview with current EOD personnel that tests everything from the Marines' psychology, bearing, and mindset to knowledge of EOD history. If you are interested in a lateral move to the EOD Technician MOS and feel you have the physical and mental requirements for this challenging job field, contact your nearest career planner today.


Hello everyone and welcome back to the Broogly Channel. I'm Broogly and in this video I'm going to be bringing you part 2 of the Friendly Backrooms Creatures series. Now part 1 will be down below in the description if you want to go check it out. It's still blowing up low-key. And a ton of you have been asking for the second part so here we go.  Let's get it! Also did you guys see the brand new channel icon in Banner? I mean, wow. Huge thank you to Karen Star from Over on the Discord server for drawing it.  Let me know what you think down below. Alright, let's get into it. So first up for the video I want to talk about an enigmatic entity called The Red Knight. Which I believe is the first enigmatic entity that I'm going over on the channel? Maybe? This entity can be seen all over the backrooms and I'll explain what that means in a second. The Red Knight has been seen by a lot of people and is actually pretty legendary in the lore and stories about the backrooms. Now the entity looks like a knight and is wearing armor that looks like it's from somewhere around the 16th century.  He also has a cape, which is always cool, and it's a red cape with gold trim. His armor and weaponry are in good condition for the most part, but some of the pieces have dents in them, especially on his chestplate, and his cape is a tad bit torn on the very end. Other than that, he's vibin'. The Red Knight is known far and wide throughout the backrooms as a famed entity slayer with inhuman strength, speed, and agility, and it's said that he can cut any monster in half with one single swipe from his sword. Pretty sigma if you ask me. But the good news is for us normal people, the Red Knight, quote, doesn't try to eat your face the moment he sees you, and he always somehow appears to people when they first no-clip into the backrooms and run into their first really dangerous situation. But he really tends to only do this to people who are fairly new, so if you've been in the backrooms for a couple years he's probably not going to help you unless you really really need it. The Knight barely talks to people, but when he does, it's mainly right after he just saved them and he's instructing them on what to do or how to get to the next safe space where there's humans. After he explains this stuff to you, he will then grab out his sword and cut open the spacetime continuum itself just in the air and it will form a portal to a level that's safe. Could it be any cooler, like a Knight opening a portal with a sword? Wow. The Red Knight is listed as a superhuman in its description because of how strong he is and he's been seen fighting creatures way bigger or way more powerful or he's been outnumbered and he still wins. He can get injured though because he's been seen limping away from fights with broken bones, but he's never actually lost a fight with anything so he might be invincible. We don't know. Either way, a Red Knight with a cape and a magic sword that can open portals must I say anything else and the fact that he tries to help as many people as he possibly can makes it even better. Next up is an entity called King Rasputin Bartholomew III. Yes, that is his name and yes, he looks like that. Rasputin is listed as entity 84 and looks like a huge chow-chow dog that's really hairy and wanderers over a ton of different levels have claimed to see him and this entity isn't just your normal dog because his fur has a bunch of weird anomalies that happen with it and it's not just normal dog fur. Specifically weird things happen if you touch it. For example, one person touches fur and fell into level 241 through the ceiling so the dog has a red collar that somehow doesn't no clip into it like every other object does that touches it instead it just stays there and has on the front his name Rasputin Bartholomew III and then on the other side it says quote if lost return to the seventh dialect of the march of the atrodium the killer of yungum which no one knows what that means or why it's there it's weird I don't know why I'd be on a collar but it's there. The good news is that he's friendly and he acts very similarly to dogs from real life and follow you around if he wants to and he seems impervious to other entities because none of them even try to attack him in fact they all run away and there's even been a mega report that he's barked and growled to scare away some entities thereby saving a person that he had bonded with so if you form a bond with him then he'll protect you it's presumed that entities are just afraid to attack him for some reason because he's not that big but they all run away his biology is interesting because like I said he's a breed called chow chow and apparently he's around four years old but his hair is the weirdest thing about him because Meg cut off five inches of it and it all grew back within an hour he also doesn't eat food or drink water on his own but he'll eat something if you give it to him and if you pet him you'll see that the fur doesn't actually connect to a body like you won't be able to feel a solid body it just was like floating fur and if you reach a few feet into the fur then you'll be sucked into and dropped into level 241 so king respite and Bartholomew the third is invincible dog with magic fur that can teleport you to level 241 just by petting him and he's protective of her people that are nice to him pretty cool now the last friendly entity for this video is the musician entity or entity 137 this thing mainly lives on level 114 but has been seen on a bunch of other levels as well looks like a tall skinny creature that is wearing a pinstripe suit and a big top hat and you'll know he's close to you when you hear music playing and this music actually has some cool properties like if he walks through a dangerous area with dangerous entities the music itself will make those entities passive when they're in his presence he also has the ability to no clip anywhere he wants to and can go to any level at all and as far as his behavior he's actually friendly and he's very helpful to wanderers that he meets and he offers almond water to everyone he meets so it's pretty awesome he's very good at social skills and he likes to talk and walk with wanderers and he likes to converse about anything but especially music except for some reason he hates entity 138 so like don't bring that up no one knows why he's also aware that how he looks might scare some wanderers so if he notices that it scares someone he apologizes and walks away if for some reason he gets attacked then that music that he emits from earlier will go from being quiet to extremely loud and will burst the eardrums of anything nearby and if he doesn't do that attack then apparently both of his hands will transform into massive claw hooks to attack his enemy in a more physical way also if he makes a mess of an entity that he attacks he openly complains about ruining his suit which i find hilarious by the way he's anywhere from six five to six ten and it's really skinny and he's seemingly impervious to any fatal attack from entities that's pretty neat so yeah those were three friendly backroom's creatures i do hope you enjoyed the video thank you for watching till the end i appreciate it as always channel's going crazy right now and i really appreciate you all we're on the road to 500k wow i wow just thank you very happy how this channel's going i love it thank you all so much if you want to be a part of the journey drop a sub and also if you want to help my second channel get to 50k by the end of the year go sub to it we just hit 12.3k on only 12 videos so i think we're well on the way over there i'm uploading a banger story times minecraft videos tier list and overall it's a fun time thank you for watching the video thank you for the supports have a great weekend i'll see you monday brugly out


Mount Assiniboine Lodge is located in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, British Columbia. The park is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first recorded visits to the park by non-native explorers began in the mid-1800s, with further exploration increasing after the railroad came to Banff in 1885. The lodge was first constructed in 1928 and the bunkhouse added from 1958 to 1963. Today, the closest road access remains about 28 km away, leaving the park to hikers and explorers, along with scheduled helicopter access to the lodge. Starting in 1925, several smaller nayset huts have been constructed for visitors to enjoy year-round. The lodge was originally built by the CPR, which was turned over to the Alpine Club of Canada, and in turn to BC Parks. Recently, BC Parks initiated a restoration and sustainability project to ensure that the Assiniboine Lodge and facilities will last for many more years to come and operate in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The primary goal of this undertaking was to remain conscious of the historical significance and character of the lodge. Extensive efforts were taken to preserve the essence of the building, on the landscape, and its unique cultural heritage in this special setting. In 2009, BC Parks decided to team up with architectural and engineering consultants. Drawings were prepared and a general contractor was brought on board to do the work. The planning and logistics of the project was highly detailed. Materials were staged approximately 30 km from the site, and a heavy lift K-Max helicopter was brought in to manage the heavy equipment and loads that were then transported to the site. We moved over two metres of snow before we could allow the work to begin. First, the kitchen addition was disassembled. Then the original 1928 dining hall was disassembled, log by log, and preserved. We moved the bunk house off its foundation using hydraulics on steel beams.  We built a new expanded kitchen along with the reassembled dining hall. The bunk house was moved back onto its sturdy foundation, and a new heated breezeway was built connecting the two main buildings of the lodge. During construction, the contractor worked together as a team with BC Parks, the consultants, and the current lodge operators to make this construction project a success in a remote work site. Some of the design innovations included providing a potable water treatment system and the installations of a micro hydroelectric generation station using renewable water energy to power the lodge. Highly efficient insulated roof panels, thermal pane windows, and an electrical load management system that sequences the power usage of the lodge. Life safety was upgraded, including a new stairwell inside the lodge, an exit stairwell replacing the original ladder, and emergency lighting with increased accessibility for the disabled. While the construction team created new elements to the building, Mount Assiniboine Lodge retains the same 80-year-old character in this unique location. In addition to guests having accommodation at the lodge, visitors to the park enjoy the use of the nayset huts and several backcountry cap grounds. From there, users can take part in activities such as hiking the diverse ecological areas, fishing, mountaineering, skiing, horseback trips, all while enjoying this spectacular alpine environment which continues to be a premier showcase of what BC Parks has to offer.


Welcome to nursing school explain in this video on how to administer a medication by IV push I have already prepared my medication here in this case It's Zofran 4 milligram, which is an anti-ametic and in order to find out how fast you can administer this medication Safely always refer to your medication handbook or drug book and my favorite is always a Davis drug guide for nurses Which has the the information very easily accessible So when I look this up, it says administer the medication over two to five minutes So I'm going to stick with that the other thing that I always need to make sure is that the IV fluid that the patient Has as maintenance fluid is compatible with the medication and I've already Certain that that is the case and because we have normal saline here and that is combata compatible with pretty much everything Now because I don't have an actual IV here I put my IV tubing in the bowl here so that I'm not Dripping any medication over it, but we'll say for For demonstration purposes that this port is hooked up to the patient and When I select the port I want to administer the medication I always want to use the port that's closest to the patient and Make sure that you always verify all the rights of medication administration Meaning the right medication the right dosage the right time the right reason The right documentation and all those good medication rights. So for demonstration purposes I'm gonna skip this part and so now my IV is going here at a maintenance rate I'm gonna turn this on and I can see in the drip chamber that it's dripping So now I'll use my alcohol pad and I swab This port and again for at least 10 to 15 seconds vigorous because this port is otherwise exposed to the air and patients Have all kinds of visitors coming in and out They might drag this part of the port in the bed in the bed because it's closest to their to their IV site So we want to make sure we clean this vigorously so that we don't push any germs from the port Directly into the patient's bloodstream. So aseptic technique here is key Then I take my medication and I unhook The needle or whatever I drew it up with and the sluer lock is going to attach Directly I have to push it first through the rubber and then screw it on there Making sure that it stays So now I'm going to push this medication over two minutes. So I look at my watch and I can slowly Start to push this medication however because of the path of least resistance the patients vein is Narrow or in diameter than this tubing and I don't want the medication to go up this tubing I wanted to go towards the patient. So I pinch This tubing here and I slowly push the medication a little bit at a time as I continue to watch my watch Pinching it pushing it and the IV maintenance flow it as it flows through into my patient's vein will carry this Zofran in to the patient's circulation So I continue doing this for two minutes. I'm not going to make you sit here and wait for two minutes But always make sure that you watch and adhere to the administration rate because otherwise the patient might experience adverse effects So then once I am done administering the medication I can unhook my syringe dispose of it as well as the needle appropriately in the sharps container and Then I'll go ahead and I'll document the medication Administration and check back on the patient in about 15 minutes to see what effect the medication has taken and to make sure that it's That they don't have any adverse reactions Thanks for watching this video on medication administration from a vial also check up my other videos in the IV skills Medication playlist. Thanks so much for watching. See you soon
