Call the meeting of the Town Council Community Resources Committee to order at 2.05 p.m. on Thursday, April 11, 2019. The meeting is being recorded by our own staff in IT, so there is going to be a recording that's going to be available somewhere. I just warned everybody so that they know that what you say could have a life of its own. The, my role is going to be pretty limited, but I first want to thank Lynn who's here to provide any guidance that we might need from the President, and is also volunteered to take minutes of the first meeting. So we all owe her appreciation. So I am going to share the meeting only through, since I've done number one, we get to number two, and then whoever we elect is going to be it. There is a question that I wanted to ask before we start the election process, and that is, do we want to elect a chair in the Vice Chair or just a chair? And I don't know if that will affect how people proceed. Yes, okay. So what I'm going to do is call for election of the chair, and then I will turn it over to whoever is elected as chair, and they can proceed with election of Vice Chair, but I just wanted to make sure that we had an understanding that there would be two elections before we started. So I will ask for nominations. Yes. I nominate Steve Schreiber. Is there a second? Any other nominations? Very none. Is there a motion to close nominations? Is there a seconded? Yes. And all in favor of closing nominations? So it's 5-0, and therefore, we have elected Steve Schreiber. I know, exactly. It's kind of dual edged on us. We've elected Steve as chair, so you're on. Okay, so then thank you, and thank you for starting this off on the right foot. So let's take nominations for Vice Chair. So there's a nomination in second for Dorothy Pamp. Are there any other nominations? Seeing none, I call the question. All in favor, raise your hand. That passes 5-0, so thank you very much. So let's just keep moving. I think we have about an hour, so let's get, is there a regular meeting time? So this is our fourth committee. So plus some of you are on other, no, actually, we have more than that. We have five committees now. So scheduling is always hard, but is there a regular meeting time that we think we can come up with now? Yes. It's only for the month of May that we're going to do twice a week, and that's because of the 30-day window to make the recommendation after we've received the budget. All this work that you had to do that day. Yes. This time today is generally good. I have to tell you, in the month of June, just that month alone, I couldn't start a meeting till three from teaching a course. Except for May. Except for May when we have, it's reserved for finance. So we've got to do a meeting for now. Yeah. Yeah, so for me, it's crazy until May. Then I open up until September, and I'm actually not positive what my schedule is, September to December. But this time can work for me. Most Thursdays, I'm free at this time. Yeah, why don't we start? What would be fine with me? Yeah, so the GOL is a weird thing. So I teach right now, I teach Monday, Wednesday, one to four, but that's going to end relatively soon. Yeah, so I'm actually starting the 30, no, starting May 2nd. I'm free Wednesdays, so. My thought is that he's got an academic schedule. I pretty much know what I'm going to be doing in the fall. It's going to be Tuesday, Thursday, like nine, but I won't be able to get there until three. So maybe, and you don't have no idea what you're getting for the fall. Maybe we should just do plumps of time. Yeah, yeah. That are meeting for now, then we'll start again. And your days may change. So today, so starting May 1st, I'm all set Wednesdays at 2. Before that, we actually don't have that many Wednesdays before that. So the next Wednesday, so we don't need to meet next Wednesday, because we won't, I don't think we need to meet. So then just Wednesday, the 24th, we have the GOL, then I have class. Do you have no time between the GOL and this, is that no longer? GOL ends at 12.30 or 12.12, it ends at 12. I could do 12.1 on that Wednesday. 12.30, I could do 12.30 to one, or four. Does four work on that Wednesday? Just that particular Wednesday? Yeah, okay, so do you want to do the 25th? So the 24th, we'll meet at 4 p.m., okay, closing, till the last call? Well, I could say four to six. Yeah, why don't you say four, or four to six? That's tight for me, I'll meet at 5.30. Right, 5.30, can we just do a 5.30? First meeting, four to 5.30. Well, could we meet at 3.30 or 3.30? Yeah, we can do 3.30, 3.30 to 5.30. Is that work for you? Okay. 3.30 to 5.30? Yeah, on the 24th. Yeah, and then from then on, until September, let's do, do we think every other? Every other Wednesday, for them? Well, we have to get them in the different locations. That's true, we could always have it together. My feeling is that we should be meeting once a week, because there's so many questions that we have. Like, for example, Lynn suggested that we look at the committees and see which committees fall. Well, that's just doing that and talking about that. It's going to take a long time. And there's stuff that's happening that we need to be thinking about. Also, I'm not sure, and I really need clarification, what the process is. When do things come to us? And what they go, I mean, it's just so much that we don't know that it's possible, like the finance committee, we just had to jump in because we were in the middle of the budget year. Everybody's looking to us to do things. So I know one thing is that the planning board has been working on a bunch of possible zoning bylaws. There's sort of a backlog of ideas from them. And they've actually been waiting. So I think that the timetable that Lynn was proposing kind of showed a lot of land use stuff being discussed in the fall. But this would be a good time to look at it. And there's parking stuff? Yeah. We have to decide, is parking part of our project? Yeah, exactly. What's going on? So I'm just going to suggest if we can try to do it once a week. Knowing that summer's coming and some people go away. So let's do that. So let's do April 24th at 3.30 to 5.30. Then starting May 1st, we'll just put it on the schedule from 2 to 4. Or do you want to do it after? That one, if you could do that one 2.30. Once a month I have an office hour that ends at 2. OK. And it's amazing, people were coming into the end, yeah. Starting May 1st. Just on May 1st. And then after that, are we keeping that from the group? I would say that, yeah. Yeah, let's just do it. It's going to be easier for us to remember that. We'll have it on the books and cancel if needed. But I just want to say that. So we're done with item three. Yes? Let's move on. So that'll take us until through August. Then we'll revisit if necessary. Item four, consider initial goals. So this is our unstructured time to talk about our charge and what we see as the priorities or even our ways of operating based on what was approved. Conservation and development and working with a number of different departments kind of gives me the broadest perspective on a lot of things, whether it's affordable housing, whether it's open space, whether it's zoning. So my role would be to work with you, to support you, and to bring in to you those staff people who, if I don't have a particular, I am not the parking expert, but I would bring in those people to you when you were talking about parking or bring in Robin. Thank you very much. It's amazing to have someone at your level. Yeah, well, this is a very important committee. We've got a lot of work to do, and staff is very excited to work with you. So my job would be to facilitate getting the right people through you. So let me ask a question about the group, and thank you, it's really great to have you and where I'm gonna go for the next. With the Finance Committee, one of the things that we've been trying to do is just use opportunities for members of the committee members of the committee who have not previously been familiar with the financial management structure of the town to learn so that we can gain, the committee gains expertise. And with this committee, I was wondering if there are things that would be helpful to get presentations on early so that we can get some basis of knowledge. And the first one I'll ask about, obviously we have the planning expert as our chair, but the whole, Yeah, right. No, nothing we can agree with them. I think what I'm thinking about is process and law, how planning gets developed and what the legal constraints are within the planning process. Is that something we need a presentation about? So we had the, I think also zoning. Relay tie together. Yeah. And so we had the presentation by all the town departments, including, and we did have a sort of a quick overview on planning, zoning, conservation, but would it be more helpful to have more details or should we try to get right into, so there's sort of the, for the past however many years, there was sort of a national rhythm in the town as we, hear it up for two town meetings, typically two town meetings per year. So now typically we'd be in the midst of preparing for spring town meeting, which typically had a bunch of zoning articles. So one thing that I'm aware of is that our zoning is far from perfect. The zoning being probably the primary way that issues of land use are regulated. And I, but however the zoning subcommittee, which is part of the planning board has continued to work away. So we could get right into the weeds and ask for a meeting with that particular group or at least a representative from that particular group to talk about what issues, you know, that they see. And that's also would be a good time to kind of better understand, you know, the legal basis of planning. Oh, I have to use the mic. Okay. That's what I wasn't sure. No, no, no. Yeah. I want to backtrack just a little bit. Everything you said sounded great and I want to do it, but where I'm feeling more adrift is I don't know what our schedule is, what's coming our way. And that's, so because I kind of think if we have to do a lot of this then let's get education on that and then do it rather than a lot of general education and then trying to catch up with what's going on. So I'm wondering Dave, do you, can you tell us what you think are the first two or three things we're gonna have to deal with? Into some of Andy's questions about legal and the process. We could make that happen, you know, in your next couple meetings. That's fairly easy to do with Rob Morrow and Christine Bresto. And likewise, we could do a little overview of affordable housing, which is a very pressing issue in the town. And I think we didn't get a real chance to talk some of the stats on that and what some of the exciting projects are. We've indicated there's another, there's some easier things that the zoning subcommittee and staff have been working on. And then there's some larger pieces of the zoning bylaw that need work. There's also the fundamental question and I'm glad Lynn is here, but the charter called for the master plan, I may get the quote to be for the wording, was it adopt the master plan? So that is, that question is, when do you recall the master plan was completed in 2010? The planning board worked very hard on that, hundreds and hundreds of people in town worked on that. There were always questions as to what for approval, although my understanding is state law did not acquire that, but the planning board at the time did vote to adopt that master plan. But here we are in 2019, a lot has happened since 2010. So the master plan so much moves. Two of the people on the committee, Sarah and Pat, are also on the committee to prepare the draft of the town council's goals. And so, and our goal, we're meeting this tomorrow, our goal is to bring those to the town council for discussion on the 22nd of April, and hopefully then make any changes we need to and bring them back for, must be May 6th is the next meeting. And in those goals, we have a goal around master plan, we have a goal around zoning, a goal around planning, a goal around parking, a goal around transportation, and we're trying to suggest some activities under those, but I think those are, as I said, suggestions. We're also trying to suggest a timeline and also keeping in mind all of those as it relates to the charter because just going to the master plan, that's also something that's to be done with the planning board. It's very clear in the charter that the planning board is part of it, but the charter says is the council must adopt it. It does not say we have to adopt it this year. In fact, I think we would be rushing it to adopt it this year. So one of the things that I think would be useful picking up on David's offer and Andy's suggestion is to pick a couple topics and then, I mean, I'd share this whole thing with you now, but it's really still quite rough, but then on the 22nd, before your next meeting, you'll actually see this draft and then identify from there some of what you think would be best to take on based on putting, based on the time frames. Let me just give you an example. We don't expect this year that we will be able to accomplish adopting the master plan, but we do wonder if it might be appropriate to come up with a plan for how to review if we're gonna do any revisions and how to adopt and put that in a time frame. And I would see that as something that CRC would do in conjunction with the planning board and then bring it all forward to the council. So it's a big job. Because, again, and then after that, you have, even before that, you have some zoning, for example. That's pretty easy. It's pretty straightforward. We need to change names like Select Board to Cattown Council, but then you have other zoning bylaws that really the master plan should provide guidance for those and those are probably more the ones Steve's talking about that need much more great consideration and discussion. So it kinda like one follows the other. So anything you can do to start familiarizing yourself with any of those issues and start talking about and then I will send you literally in time for your next meeting what we're gonna have on our own agenda anyway, so you're all gonna see it. The other thing I just wanna mention, if you're gonna have presentations from staff or even joint meetings with committees, I would wanna make sure that the rest of the council is aware of them and to the point that we may even for some of them want to have committees of the whole like we're doing with the finance committee because there were 10 people who wanted to be on this committee and five of you are sitting here. Okay, six of us are sitting. Yeah, so one thing that I, so it's been almost 10 years since we approved the master plan and it's honestly you can read the master plan and everyone's gonna read into it, what you wanna read into it. So it means different every, there are technical terms in there that mean different things to different people but one thing I'm not sure I've ever heard is kind of a report card on like this is how we think we're doing compared to what we said we were going to do but so I would love to get your perspective or your, so rather than necessarily a presentation on each section of the master plan, just a perspective of these are the things that we think that we have accomplished in this section. These are things that we think need more work. These are things that seem obsolete now. I think a very productive exercise for us to do because we regularly back to it but to be able to report out to you and as Lynn suggested, any members of the town council who would like to be able to do a meeting on that, how are we doing relative to the master plan from 2010? What's working, what's not working as opposed to this is the master plan. You said that if anybody can go in right now this afternoon and read the master plan it doesn't take very long. It's a high level perspective on broad goals for the town and what we recognize and I think we said this when we presented to the full council I think it's best to say that the source is implementation under many of the goals of the master plan. So some of them have just happened through work of the planning board, the planning department, the conservation department, the inspection services, et cetera. So I'm doing kind of a little report card, how are we doing under one, two, three, four, five, and four goals? So I'm sitting here thinking of the thing, what did not exist nine years ago? So Uber and Lyft, Uber and Lyft didn't exist nine years ago. Airbnb didn't exist. And Airbnb didn't exist nine years ago. So these are all legal parts. Legal parts, yeah, that's right. And I want to know if it comes to this thing, I'm thinking it does.  That would be awesome. I think it would be an awesome agenda. I also think it would be, so in the introduction, kind of the idea of the introduction, the planning staff, so Chris and Brandon and I'm going to, you know, to talk, because each of them has a different, like one handles the historic commission and one handles sometimes the same person, but zoning board of appeals, but yeah, just so that we can put a name to the, yeah. The DRV is handled by somebody else. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be interesting too. I mean, I know it's a ton of staff time to have them. But that might be something to start doing next week. I'm sorry, the 24th? So you'd actually like, would you like the staff to come in or? I don't know. What do you guys, you'll be in Spain, right? I'll be back before our next meeting. It's been two weeks. The, one thing that I thought about, I guess I have two different directions. One is the master plan when I've read it, actually it was an excellent document and covered a lot of territory. And one example that I always come back to is we had a lot of discussion during the campaign as we were all running for this office about the importance of form-based zoning. Form-based zoning is included in the master plan. And it was one of those things that the planning board at one point attempted in a couple of neighborhoods and there was an misunderstanding about it because of the neighborhood issues overrode the form-based issue. And but it was actually, then as we came back at it through the campaign and people were saying, how can we do a better job with what the appearance of things are in parts of town, particularly town center. That's what came back. So if we go back and look at the master plan, I think we will be surprised as to how forward thinking it really was. And that may have been when form-based zoning was just starting to be, so there were two proposals, well actually there were really three proposals. So one is for the North Amherst, the Mill District, the other one was for the Atkins District, but then there was a more overarching changes to the zoning code, zoning blah blah blah, that would have enabled the other two to exist. And I'm losing, so part of it passed, the part that enabled the zoning by-law to basically accept some of the terms, I believe passed, it was just the two specific ones didn't pass. And so there never was a proposal for downtown in part because people thought downtown's easy because it's, it's harder to imagine the Mill District, which was such a clean slate and harder to imagine Atkins Center, which was also a clean slate, easier to imagine downtown, in which there already is kind of a history of buildings. So, but what seems to have most people's attention is using form-based zoning for downtown, which I think, you know, I certainly agree that this would be a right time to, yeah. Got this on? Okay, I definitely need to be some clarification on it. One description that was given to me was that the zoning should fit in with the surrounding buildings. And then when the two buildings happened, there are two big buildings downtown, then people said, oh, that means now new buildings just have to conform to them, not to what was there. And so then we get into a quandary again. So yeah, I think we need some clarification. In terms that we think should be, that we use terms in a certain way that others interpret in a different way, like infill is a favorite one. So infill means completely different things to different people. Urban means very different things to, so like architects will talk about sort of urban design, but we realize that when you use that word, people think cities and, you know, whatever garbage piled up on the side, you know, who knows what one thinks, greenways. So these are ones, like there's a whole list of things that we realize that we can use amongst ourselves, but in the public might interpret it. Yeah, yep. And it seems like, so my, my, I'm sorry. When we were doing the zero energy bylaw, one of the things that Andy was very clear that we needed to do was have a list of terms that were defined. And we all kind of said, oh, good. And it got shoved off to the very end. And we said, oh, this will be easy. There were times we spent a half an hour on one term, but that set of terminology is critically helpful and would be helpful to the rest of the council. So for this group, what it says, what it doesn't say, that's just as important, how much detail it goes into, that it is not a mandate, it is not a you must, it is a guiding document. And I think what would flow in my mind from there is meant deciding, typically there are updates to master plan overview and Q&A with you. Get Chris, Chris, and Rob more. So getting them include form-based codes, but that we not dive right into form-based codes. And I wanna make sure we have a shared understanding of what zoning can and can do. I know for Steve, it's gonna be, you know. I always learn something. Yeah. I would also love to get their, well, maybe this is diving into the weeds, because just from their perspective, one gets a sense that we've added, the zoning by-law gets added to and added to, not subtracted from very much. We don't take things out that much. We have taken, but are there parts that they think could be, I mean that would be talking openly and freely. Like, do they have experience with other, one of the purposes of form-based zoning is to make zoning simpler and to make them more so that the average human can look at it and get the idea of at least what the intent of it is. But I'd love to know their perspective on from other communities that they've worked in. The experience and communities used to be here where they did not suggest we're doing bad, and communities have done a complete rewrite of their things from the 1970s. A baseline understanding of zoning, a baseline understanding of the master plan. So there were, most of us were at the 4DR presentation, which was, you know, intersected with the town council meeting. But there was a lot of, in those power plants, there were a lot of sort of zoning tidbits that were, you know, if you're zoning junkie, you know, they were very, one of them was they had the big thing banned, B, A, N, and E, D. And the person who was presenting that said, these are what we have on our postcards. We can't build like that anymore in most of these communities. And it's, I mean, that point was sort of an excellent point, that. But, you know, something along those lines where people are willing to talk openly and freely about, you know, what they've seen. To get us started, we're not going to suggest that May 1 might be the master plan over the UN. And you're going to have other things you aren't talking about in these, so maybe that's the big agenda item on May 1. May 8 would be zoning 101. Because again, I think, I'm not going to solve it all on May 1 for the master plan. Just give you a flavor for where we've been, where we are, and Chris took a wonderful job. And then on May 8, scheduled submitting, we could bring in Rob Mora and Rob and Chris to do a zoning 101 trimmer for you. And if it says, and then this thing. OK. It's through the green light, it's on. OK, well, it was off. OK, where is the report card? Is that in those two meetings or a third meeting? That would be no doubt. May 1 is the report card, OK. So I'm going to suggest that on your meeting on April 24, that you take the goals, the draft goals, and you spend some time talking about the appropriate activities with those, and also timelines, and identify which of the goals are specifically kind of the responsibility for them starts with this committee. OK. The question was asked a little bit ago about what are the issues that are likely to come before us quickly that we need to be aware of when is parking? There's a meeting tonight, actually, on parking where Nelson Neigard is doing an initial presentation of the newest study, which I'm not going to be able to go to. And then there was another meeting that they're going to have soon to follow with some of the. But parking will come to us. And having had experience with parking, something we're going to have to work at. The other one is affordable housing. Some of the issues around affordable housing is we know that East Street is moving along quickly. We know that Valley CDC is likely to propose something for, I guess it's Northampton Road for an SRO, which is already zoning proposal from through the town meeting on that subject, but it wasn't specific to a location. Those are two things that are just happening that I think we at least need to be aware of and find if we have a role in what the role is. I think Andy's right, a really good place. It's very exciting to have two significant affordable housing projects moving forward in the council in a very good year. We've had a couple of very good years in terms of producing more affordable housing. We know the demand is that you're going to see a shape two very exciting projects, one in East Street School and one in I think what I might add. And then, I was going to say Mill Street, they support the housing there, the Mill Project. The University Drive, the Barry Roberts Project. Oh, yeah, that's right. That has eight or something, six or eight. And so if we have six or eight there, and then there'll be an affordable housing there. So we could, sometime when we look at schedule, we could even do a little quickly on the CPA, in terms of the process there, there are land use related projects on the CPA C list. And I'm not exactly sure it was all new to us, how we proceed to do this. Right now, the plan is to take, is to refer the CPA recommendations to the finance committee, but at the same time on the agenda for the 22nd of April, we're putting a thing, kind of an information, if you will, discussion piece about CPA, because the council has never discussed this. So that once the finance committee reviews this year's CPA recommendations, it then comes to the council. And at this point, not only has the council never discussed CPA money, what it can be used for, but what their role is in terms of the vote. Whether we, and that's basically probably creeping up so fast that we probably need to do that, but there may be some land use issues, as you've mentioned, and there are, that may come out of CPA as well. They're final votes tonight. And in terms of what they're recommending to us. And there may be that we delay on some of those because we would like this committee to look at it in a different kind of way. I also think the marijuana thing is gonna come up real fast. The growing facility is the hottest item right now, but we still have as many as three more awards we can make and the plan to open the first adult use commercial facility is right around the corner. So it's, and up until now the council has not had any discussion about that either. For Sarah, it's really right around the corner. It really is, yeah. What's right around the corner? For Sarah, it really is right around the corner. So we, I think we were gonna try to wrap up at three o'clock today. So I think we, this is a good start. North Common, I would add to North Common to the list of sort of, and I know that's on your list also, but, hi. So I was gonna consider moving us to public comment, if that's okay with the committee. Can you, okay, okay, I'm sorry. I was trying to play to the whole house. Yeah, Steve, can you hear me? I know, I know. Okay, I'm sorry. Yeah, thanks for coming and keeping us on there. Any business not anticipated 48 hours ago within the last 48 hours? I see none. Motion to adjourn. That was a little too fast. By consensus.


Friday morning everybody. It's Friday. Are you excited? I've got to work tomorrow, so it's not a real Friday for me, but it's still Friday. On my way to the truck, I am going to be starting up the beast this morning, the Picker truck with the claw. We got some poles to deliver, so it should be a fun day. I'll see you there. Another day is here, but we're not gonna be in that truck today. Or that truck. Or that truck. Or that one. This is our truck for today. And we'll bring some poles to someone who needs them. Hooked up to the pole trailer. I don't think we're going very far with it today. I think we're just delivering in Winnipeg, so it's not like we're going across the province or anything, but we do get to play with the crane, so that's always a fun day. We've got the tri-axle stretch trailer. I believe I'm picking up 65-foot poles. This is a 53-foot trailer. Pull up the stretcher just a bit, and it'll probably overhang on the back a little bit, maybe. Figured out when we get there. Alright, he's over there grabbing my 65-footer. I've stretched this out. One hole. I'm just gonna make sure that I put it in the right one. Yes, I did. This pin over here was in that hole there, so I stretched it up one. I called up Anthony. He's the other picker truck driver just to ask how far he thinks I should spread it, and this is what he recommended. So he does this every day, or almost every day, so that's why I called him. We're gonna get this thing on here. We'll be hanging over about six to eight feet somewhere in there. We'll see how he loads it, and we'll have to flag it up front and back, and a red flag at the back of the pole. There he comes over there. I'm gonna wait in the truck while he loads me. The truck is just a beast.  This thing is a beast. 65 feet. So I'm gonna belly-wrap it front and back. Put two straps over the center, just to keep it from bouncing around. Mosey on over to the east side of Winnipeg. They want this in a new development there. Right by Lajomotie and Concordia, if you're familiar with Winnipeg. All right, so we are right at the front here. We stretched it out. This is probably six feet. Five feet, or five feet. We got her belly wrapped up there around the bottom and over the top on both sides. Something on both sides. So it's not gonna roll back and forth. These in the middle are just to stop it from hopping in the middle and bouncing around. The same in the back here. And then we've got the flag on the back of the pole there. So I just talked to the receiver there. They're waiting for me. I'm gonna unload this on the side of a very busy street. I'm paying attention to my flag on the end of my pole. Running right into my pole with that window. It's a little bit chilly outside. I like the fresh air, but not too much, you know? Or that's under the hood of this thing. It's got a big cat engine underneath there. We only got one pole, but it is a heavy pole.  I couldn't lift it. Let's just say that around this corner here. As long as everybody else is paying attention, you know? I got all my signs out, got my flags out, but I did. Thought I might have been able to make it, but I figured I'd better stop. Great, we're in a neighborhood that trucks shouldn't be in, but this is where I've got to go to deliver this pole. Got to turn right up ahead here. Oh, this will be fun. This will be really fun. I hope that guy's ready to back up. I'm not gonna be able to make it around here. Oh my. Okay, now it's a big long lineup of cars. I'm just gonna have to wait for the light. I mean, I don't think I could make that. I'll have to wait till they're all gone. I can't make them all back. And go, go, go, go, go, go. Right on the red here before more traffic. Lights gonna turn green right away.  Nobody pays attention. Not two, not three, not a whole load. No, I'm about to make a lot of people upset here. Okay, that's all right. Traffic lights and stuff. Very fancy. I didn't even know these greenhouses were here. Look at that. Yeah, I'm gonna need this whole intersection again. I got to turn right. And it's a sharp right. Oh boy. Oh boy. I don't think I can make this corner. Nope. No, I can't make this corner. I'm gonna have to figure out a different way of getting in here. Down there somewhere. Oh boy. We're on region Avenue. We're gonna be turning left just up there. That's why I'm in this lane. With a load like this, I just get into the lane I'm gonna need to be in and I just hold that lane. That way I don't gotta mess around with traffic. That far right lane is closed anyways up there. Gas is still a dollar 32 liters. I remember when that was British Columbia prices and we used to laugh at them how expensive their gas was. Imagine how expensive it is out there now. It's ridiculous already. Here, Sue and I got my GPS on the cup holder. Bienvenue Street, which is French for welcome. 400 meters turn left up to Bienvenue Street. Aye aye, Captain. It'll be this next road over here. I wish they would have told me that in the first place. Like I said, they told me to go around the other way and I can't make that corner. They told me I could. That's why I called ahead. Call ahead. Can I make this corner? Oh yeah, trucks do it all the time. Not trucks like this. Down this little street right here. Excuse me. This truck does not turn nearly as sharp as mine. Nobody has hit my pole thus far. That is good. I haven't labeled and flagged out there for hours. People better be paying attention. Always stuff being built everywhere. Always stuff being built over here. Always building stuff. I guess it's good. Keeps people working, right? I'm just like wondering where are all these people coming from? Like that building there is going to hold, what, 1,000 people probably? That's 1,000 people. Turn left here. Transcona Boulevard. Fitting as we are going through Transcona. Is it a suburb? I don't know. Transcona. It used to be a town now. It's just part of the Greater Winnipeg area. Oh, oh, where did you come from? You were in my blind spot. See, that's why I stop and look twice. There comes a pickup. Heads up, buddy. Heads up. Here I come. Okay, so now we're on the right, that right street. We can just drive straight through that intersection that I couldn't turn right on before. And it's a much better road. Look at this. Why I always say don't trust your GPS. Call ahead. But sometimes even when you call ahead like I did, sometimes you end up in a, well, I'm not really in a pickle, but you know, you end up in places where you can't go. I'm already going to be going down this street up ahead after those lights. I'm going to be on a street where normally trucks wouldn't be allowed. And that means I'm not supposed to be there, which is going to be fun because I'm going to have to block the road to unload this pole. The guys at the site there said they're going to manage traffic for me. So at least there'll be that. Otherwise, it's like, this is busy. Like all these people here, all these townhomes, like they're beautiful townhomes, but lots of people around here. And since it's a developing neighborhood, not all of the roads have been, you know, properly expanded yet. They built the neighborhood before they finished the road expansions in some cases, but they're getting there. They're working on it. Okay. So this is the road we went through that way before, right? We couldn't make that right turn. It was way too sharp of a corner and that light pole for the traffic lights was right on the curb. There's no way I could have dragged this 65 foot pole on my trailer around that. So you'll see what I mean. We're not supposed to be going through this neighborhood, but normally much easier. See, it just goes straight through. Okay. I can turn the GPS off now. All right. This should be fun. Oh, and everybody's parked on the street too. And there's oncoming traffic. This is fun. This is fun. Yep. I'm going to let that jeep get through here. He's way over there. I'm going to let him come all the way through here. And I definitely don't want to hit that dirt there for any reason because that looks freshly laid. There's probably grass seeded there or going to be seeded there. Go away for me. I'm going to put my hazards on so they know I'm big. He's not going to be able to go anywhere. What you going to do, but not going to work? What are you going to do? Try to get out of your way as much as I can, but I don't think it's going to be enough. That's all I can give you. Is that enough? Not enough? Yeah, they're going to make it through. All right. Worked out. I don't know why these poles or these cones are here. There you go. Everybody's happy. And I didn't even hit that cone. Like a boss. Whoa. Whoa. Here comes another guy. Didn't look. Didn't look down the road. Where are you going to go, bud? Oh yeah, he's going to go in there. Ah, smart. Smart. He's going to get out of the way. You're going to have to give me a little more space than that, though. Somewhere down here. Oh yeah. I'm going to go up on the ground a little bit here, I guess. At least it's not fresh dirt. Okay. Slowly, slowly just getting, oh boy. All right, so there's my guy up there. He's going to manage traffic for me. Talk to you guys in a bit here, okay? Figure out what I'm going to do. I had to get in and out of there fast. So the pole's off already.  I had to be in there for as little time as possible.  I squished the trailer back together here. I'm just going to take off my D-signs. After this, I just got to roll up the one on the front as well. Put them away because if I don't have an oversized load or over dimensional load and I still leave these on and displayed, that's a big ticket. So you only use them when you need them.  You know, some people might need a little bit of an extra warning. Okay. Watch out. Danger. I always walk along the curb side of the truck so that I'm not putting myself in the line of traffic and I don't get hit by someone who's texting and driving. Am I talking to you? I don't know. I'm not saying it's you. I'm just saying some people out here are texting and driving and you sort of got to work defensively. Here comes a whole bunch of cars, so I'm going to wait for them. In the meantime, I can take this one off the front. Down to Thief River Falls yet this afternoon. So it's 7.30. I got to grab fuel because I'm almost out of fuel there. Got to go to Thief River again tomorrow on Saturday. We're busy. Like I keep saying, we're busy, busy. We need drivers. You guys want to come help us out? We're busy. Got a guy over there backing her in. I'm going to give him some, give him a space over there. He's like jackknife in that thing. Can you think you can get it in that hole, man? That's pretty tight. Hey, Mr. Flying J. I need some go-go juice. Fill me up. I need lots. Okay. I'm guessing we're probably going to have about another thousand dollar fill up here. What do you guys think? Don't hit anything. Don't hit anything. That is the goal every day. Don't hit anything. So yes, you've seen how busy we are. We're busy. Working tomorrow as well. It won't be as long of a day. I've got to do one run down to Thief River Falls. Lots of work. Lots of work if you're looking for work. I know everybody's looking for drivers, but not everybody is the best place to work. That's us. I'm sorry, where there can only be one best. Best one, sorry. On duty fueling. Here we go. Let the government know what I'm doing and nosy people. I'm going to fuel it up. You guys think about whether or not you want to work here, all right? Let me know. Final total, 975 big ones for 745-ish liters. Oh, that's one week. And I didn't even fill them right up to the top. I don't fill these tanks up to the top.  And you don't want to fill up your tanks too much, but I could have easily fit well over a thousand dollars into the tanks. I know even my phone is like, what? You hear that? Yeah. It's another week in my life. When I was on the highway, I'd go through that in two days. Oh, another long day. And we're going to do it all over again tomorrow, minus the picker truck part stuff in the morning. We're going to skip that. We're just going to go straight to Thief River.  It's just some Saturday work. So I guess I'll see you guys then, eh?

Now here is the solution We can use the formula Of the multivariate normal distribution This is the PDAF of the multivariate normal distribution 2.2 Minus P by 2 P is the dimensions How many dimensions in the particular question So P which is equals to 3 We don't have the dimensions Sigma Variance covariance matrix is given Model S Minus 1 by 2 Exponential minus 1 by 2 X minus mu transpose Minus mu This is the PDAF of the multivariate normal distribution Where P is the number of variables Or you can say that the dimension X is the vector of the Variable In case of the X transpose Which is equals to 1.5, 3.5 These are the particular points Given Mu is the mean vector And sigma variance covariance matrix Given We have to find here To solve this With numerical data, we need Sigma inverse Sigma inverse is the inverse of the covariance matrix Okay PDAF is here, we also found out What are all the variables Exponential EXP is basically Exponential We have to use these all To find the value of F of X X minus mu First we have this portion X minus mu Okay, so we have X 1.5, 3.2, 4.6 And mu is 2, 3, 4 So X 1.5, 3.2, 4.6 And mu is 2 So then we have X minus mu Calculate it directly So what will you do 1.5 minus 2 3.2 minus 3 And 4.6 minus 4. So then first We will look at the dimension How much is the dimension of X Here is 3 rows 1 column And how much is the dimension of mu 3 rows 1 column So what will be the final result 3 cross 1 Means 3 rows 1 column 3 cross 1 So X minus mu Minus 0.5, 0.2 And 0.6 This portion is here Okay, this portion is here Because this is transpose This portion is here Next what we have to do First we need to calculate The variance covariance Matrix This is the determinant value Raise to the power minus 1 by 2 And then Variance covariance matrix This is the inverse We have these values We need the determinant Of variance covariance matrix And the inverse of variance matrix Using a matrix calculator We find this Now with matrix calculator We can easily find this And next I am telling you That we will find this with excel So we will easily find this With excel We will find the inverse And we will find the determinant Of variance covariance matrix Here is the value of the sigma That is the 2 We enter the variance covariance matrix 2 1.5 And 0.8 0.8 And next is the 1.5 3 And 1.2 Final is the 0.8 1.2 And the 2.5 This is the variance covariance matrix Of sigma We need the determinant And the inverse For the determinant Equal to m Determinant m stands for matrix I have to calculate Determinant of this matrix Highlight Racket close And m determinant We have to enter shift control Enter Now here is the value Of the determinant 7.4 0.5 Next up we have to do Sigma inverse For sigma inverse I don't need the inverse Equals to 3x3 inverse I have highlighted 3x3 Because 3x3 inverse So equals to m inverse This is the m inverse Sigma Variance covariance matrix I need inverse Then bracket close Shift control Enter So here is the value Now we have the determinant Of sigma And next we have the inverse Okay now we will enter this In pdf and after entering We will have a solution Next what we have to do What will we have? Determinant value Sigma inverse value This is the x- mu And transpose And this is the x- mu This is the sigma inverse We have seen the order 3x3 is the order 3x1 is the final order We have 3x1 Inverse we have x- mu So I will write the value of x- mu In excel x- mu What was x- mu? I have minus 0.5 Then 0.2 Then 0.6 Okay now we need the multiplication So equals to Now what is the result First we have to see the result 3x1 So here I am taking 3x1 3x1 column Equals to Multiplication is m m Multiplier Metrics of multiplication Metrics of multiplication Highlight this Then Comma Multiplier by this call Okay Close Shift Control Enter So these are the values We have multiplied the mu This is the value Now let us check the final Now you have the value 3x1 Now see the order This is the order Order 1 row 3 columns And next we have 3x1 Final result is You have a single value 1x1 Means single value is coming Now we have to take this Multiply it on excel Or you have Transpose what will happen to us Convert the rows to columns I have the values Here minus 0.5 Then 0.2 Then 0.6 Now I have to multiply this Again Equals to M Multiply M Multiply Then Comma Array Next Multiplication Enter Shift Control Enter So we have the value 0.4 9 0.2 0.5 Now we have Particular point in PDF Now I have entered 0.4 9 0.7 Its PDF's value This factor This factor's value Determined Then multiply by minus 1 by 2 Further we have multiplied it Minus 1 by 2 Say we have taken its exponential 2 pi pi You know that pi which is equals to 22 by 7 Its value has been entered 2 multiplied by 22 by 7 Race to the power 3 by 2 Now we will find it on excel Now write 2 into 22 by 7 On excel And its power It has a power button Shift If I press it Then the power button will come Multiply by 3 by 2 Then its determinant Its power half And after that After all the calculation I have the result 0.001689 This value is particular What is this value This is the PDF What is its interpretation What are we showing it The probability At the point X1 1.5 X's value was given We had to find the PDF on that particular point What is the interpretation The probability at the point Of X1 1.5 X2 3.2 And X3 4.6 Is approximately Equals to 0.001689 On this particular point Probability of X Is determinant 0.001689 This is the whole scenario Of this example This is the multivariate normal distribution That we have checked the PDF Of normal distribution Mathematically Then we are checking it numerically We solved it with 3 by 3 Metrics We have determined its probability point Dear students What we have determined with this particular example We have 3x3 Multivariate data And on that We have determined the probability point Of the PDF When we have given X's Different values We had 3x3 We solved it according to the three dimensions Example multivariate normal distribution Mathematically we solved it We have also removed its mean Now on this particular point We have to determine its probability Numerically We have solved it with the multivariate normal distribution With the PDF On this particular X's values Our probability determinant X is 0.001689 Something is coming


Hello, friends and subscribers. Welcome back to my YouTube channel. Daniel Rosal here, bringing you this video today from Jerusalem in Israel. So over the weekend, I shared some really crazy, extremist anti-Israel hate speech coming out of Ireland, specifically Richard Boyd Baratou. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say is the most anti-Israel politician in Ireland, maybe even in Ireland's history, came out with a call for intifada against Israel. And for those who don't know what intifada means, it means essentially a violent uprising. There were two, there have been so far two, discreet intifadas against Israel by Palestinians, which resulted in restaurants and buses being blown up, suicide bombings and countless Israelis killed in horrible campaigns of terror. So when Boyd Baratou openly on the streets of Dublin was recorded calling for an intifada, he called for Israel to be put down. He said that Israel was a monster which the US had created. And I'm just reading here that Israel is a filthy, barbaric, apartheid, colonialist enterprise. So I could really go on, but you get the idea. I shared those extracts from that speech on Twitter and the Twitter slash X, and my tweet ended up going pretty viral in Ireland. The last time I checked the analytics, it was viewed more than one million times and thousands of engagements and reposts and comments and stuff like that, a lot of debate. And I have to say the majority of comments, even from people who were broadly aligned in the pro-Palestinian camp were quite critical of those remarks from Boyd Barat and just the general hate-filled, bilious nature of his remarks against Israel. I put together a little press release to try and get some attention to these, to this extremist hate rhetoric, hoping that maybe somebody on the more sane part of the political spectrum in Ireland would issue a condemnation and the first media outlet to pick it up was GRIPT.ie, which I understand is a relatively new online publisher in Ireland and their reporter, Ben Scalin, posed the question to Miehal Martin of what he made of those comments and more importantly, whether with this kind of new, revamped hate speech legislation that the Irish government is proposing in the wake of the horrible riots that took place in Dublin, they're looking at overhauling their hate speech legislation. Some people say it's already robust enough and he asked him whether this type of rhetoric would fall under the purview of that legislation. Here's how that responds between GRIPT.ie and Miehal Martin went. We saw Richard Boyd Barat explicitly calling for revolution and interfaith against the quote unquote filthy regime of Israel, that's his words not mine, and the destruction of Israel as a state. The only thing you can do with a state like this is resist this and bring it down.  So we've got to rise up. The only answer to this is interfaith. Revolution as Asiel said, the collective revolution. So I'm just wondering as a senior member of the Irish government, would you intend your hate speech legislation to ban comments like that, or would you see such statements being outlawed under the new hate speech bill? You're just obsessed with the hate speech, but anyway, the more serious issue. I think a lot of people in Ireland are. No, the more serious thing I think is is speech is wrong. I think to identify a country as sort of almost like one individual is wrong. To incite people to violence is wrong in terms of wishing people to participate in an interfaith or to describe a country as a psychopath is wrong. I mean, within Israel it serves there are many, many different strands of political opinion. But instead of Israel, the state of Israel has a right to exist. It seems that Richard Barad Barad is denying the right of Israel to exist. Or indeed, the Israeli people to live in Israel. That's the far more fundamental issue. But I'm not interested in legislation. I'm not interested in legislation. Sorry, no. I think the Irish public are. I think the question is you're drafting this very controversial piece of legislation. My question is, is it the intent of the government? No, I know what your question is. I know what your intent is. So could you answer it? Sorry, that as I'm answering a question to you, I saw what happened in terms of how you create a context around that. You're not doing that in no relation to this question. I will answer your question the way I feel fit to answer it. And as far as I'm concerned, the more substantial and fundamental issue is the content and substance of what he said. And it needs to be challenged in terms of what he said, in terms of how he describes a country which in itself can be, in my view, an assignment to violence, but also in my view misses the point that within Israel there are different strands of opinion. You cannot describe it in the manner that he has done. And I would add, I have not seen him comment similarly in terms of the horrific attack by Hamas on October the 7th. I haven't really seen the clarity or indeed the intensity of emotion that he's brought to other issues, which he can bring to the issue of Hamas monitoring innocent civilians either. But those would be my comments on Deputy White Barrow. I just feel that was over the top. And it was wrong. And many people would see bile in that, would see hate in that. And we saw before the war started in before the October the 7th. We saw how Israel was very politically divided on issues to do with its judiciary and so on. And what that illustrated was different strands of opinion within a given state. And you can't sort of describe everybody living in Israel or Israel as just one sort of, through the prism of one narrow. Thank you very much. So what do I make of all this? I think that from the perspective of Irish viewers, Mihal Martin's responses are probably going to draw criticism because a lot of people in Ireland, any time that the freedom of speech is going to be restricted or there's considerations of some restrictions being posed on it, that draws a lot of worry that that power is going to be abused. So I think that for Mihal Martin to come along and say I'm not interested in this legislation and to just kind of throw out to the journalists that he was obsessed about it, it seems like very, very weak. Like that is a very legitimate question that he asked. And I think that that response was a pretty weak deflection. I also think that from the Israeli perspective, from my side of the world over here, I think that I don't want to be too harsh on Mihal Martin because he did offer some kind of condemnation, albeit very kind of tepid. And he went on and on about Israel being a pluralist society, which I think is kind of totally irrelevant in this conversation, you know, but he did, as I say, offer some condemnation that those kind of remarks and incitement to violence is not helpful and unacceptable. It wasn't quite as clear a condemnation as I and many would have liked, but it's better than nothing. What do you think of the response on this whole episode? If you have thoughts of your own, please consider leaving them in the comment section below. Thanks for watching and until the next video.
