Good morning, everyone. I'm here today to share some good news for the City of Calgary, but as Nuh-Hid said, today is also a profoundly sad day. Last night, after days of exhaustive searching, we learned that Calgary police found the body of Talia Marsman, Talia Marsman, and she was a beautiful child, as are all children, with a full and promising life ahead of her. I want Calgarians to know that the entire country is with you in grieving her loss and that of her mother, Sarah. I want to extend a special thanks to Calgary police, who I know have poured their hearts into this investigation and who are especially devastated by last night's news. And finally, to the family and friends of Sarah and Talia, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of two people whom you loved and loved you. Families across this country, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, siblings, are grieving alongside you, thinking of you, praying for you. I hope you can someday find some peace through your sadness. And we are also thinking of our friends in France, where last night more than 80 people, including many children, were killed in a terrorist attack in Nice. The victims are families who celebrated their national holiday as several of us celebrated ours, two weeks ago today. We all participated in this kind of celebration. We made our way into the crowd, into the crowd. We danced on the music chorus that we knew well. We repulsed the time to sleep for the youngest so that they could see the fireworks. And at the end of the evening, we went home with our children to sleep in our arms. It's them who were targeted. It's them who were attacked. And it is with great determination that we will offer to the French government all the help possible. We will work with our allies to fight terrorism under all its forms and to translate the responsible into justice. And now, on to the reason for my visit today. I want to first thank Premier Naughtley, Mayor Nancy and Soutina Nation, Chief Roy Whitney, for being here. When I was being honored a few months ago by the Soutina Nation, Chief Roy and I chatted quite a bit about the project we're confirming today. I also want to acknowledge the Provincial Minister of Transportation and Minister of Infrastructure, Brian Mason, and the Federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, Amrajeet Sohi. And finally, our great local MP for Calgary Center, Minister of Veterans Affairs, Kent Hare. Good to have you here, Amrajeet and Kent. Thanks for all the hard work that you and Darshan Kang have put into making this announcement possible. I know that during Stampede Week, people typically expect a visiting politician to do two things. Flip pancakes and look awkward in a really big hat. Well, I ticked off both those boxes this morning, which frees me up now to make this important announcement. And while I want to be very clear that the news we are sharing today, while very important to the city of Calgary and the people who live here, is new, it's not something that you'll be hearing about for the very first time. Last summer, the previous government announced plans to invest up to $583 million in the construction of the southwest portion of the Calgary Ring Road. And today, I'm happy to announce that our government will be moving ahead with this project. We've completed the necessary reviews and the project has now met all the requirements and conditions for funding under the 2014 new Building Canada Plan. Early work on the southwest Calgary Ring Road is now underway. I'm happy to announce that all the steps have now been completed and that the work of the southwest portion of the Calgary Ring Road represents an investment of $583 million is now in progress. For the city of Calgary, it means a new large-scale highway in the completion of a plan that has been in the works since the 1970s. For local businesses, it means better and faster access to markets, whether goods are travelling across the province or across the country, to trading partners in North America or around the world. For the citizens of Calgary and surrounding communities, it means less time spent waiting in traffic and more time spent with family and friends. And that's not time in an abstract sense. The average Calgarian spends nearly an hour commuting to and from work every day. An hour every day commuting to and from work. That's almost ten full days spent commuting every year. That's time that would be better spent playing with your kids at Princes Island or shopping at the farmers market or volunteering in the community. A project like the southwest Calgary Ring Road will help to make that possible. The transfer of land negotiated between the nation and the province of Alberta is an essential element to the implementation of this project that will encourage economic growth and create opportunities for the community. This initiative is also more advantageous for the environment. A more fluid circulation will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the quality of the air. And tourism industry will also benefit from this initiative. Thanks to this new route, travelers will be able to visit the superb national parks of Alberta and the British Columbia. For all these reasons and because we know that infrastructure investments like this one can create good, well-paying jobs that help the middle class and those working hard to join it, we are proud to do our part along with the province and the city to make good on this promise. Thank you all once again for joining with us today. I'm now happy to call upon my friend Premier Rachel Nuttling.

وقد وقع إجماع الأمة على أن من أنكر البعث كفر وكتيلة أحد المزدر التلقي one of the sources we take our evidences from الله تباركه تعالى he says in the Quran وما يشاقق الرسولة من بعد ما تبين له الهودة ويتبع غير السبيل المؤمنينا والله ما تولا ونسله جنم وساعة مصيرا so that ayah is the evidence for what إجماع the ayah clearly says وما يشاقق الرسولة anyone who diverts from the prophet's path وما يشاقق الرسولة the prophet من بعد ما تبين له الهودة after the evidence becomes clear to you you go against what you go against the message of some path then الله تباركه تعالى didn't just specifically mention the prophet alone he added something else to it and goes against which path as well غير السبيل المؤمنين the path of the believers as a whole المؤمنين means all the مؤمنين نوليه ما تولا الله تباركه تعالى will allow you to go with whatever you went with wherever path you've taken be with it إن شاء الله but what will happen the day of judgment نوليه ما تولا ونسله جهنم جهنم will be made he's a boat وساعة مصيرا one of the ayahs that show إجماع is the evidence which is what الله تباركه تعالى he says فإن تنازعتم في شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسول if you guys dispute one another in Aymata bring it back to who this is messenger so this ayah shows that bringing it back to Allah's messenger is when when there is a dispute that lies what about when there is no dispute so there are times when there is no disputes and those times when there is no disputes is محل إجماع the ummah unanimously agreeing on this issue so that ayah also shows إجماع إزاي which is an evidence that we need to do it but we have to follow the إجماع there are ayahs more so this ayah doesn't have any dispute after what we showed to him and we followed the believers so that he can bring it back to Allah وساعة مصيرا so this ayah shows that إمام الشافعي تحايله إمام الشافعي رحم الله تعالى he argued with him and he said إمام الشافعي where is the evidence for إجماع where is the evidence for consensus that we accept the consensus of the Muslims that we consensus of the علامة where is the evidence on that إمام الشافعي said give me days I'll come back to you شافعي رد القرآن so many times multiple times and he couldn't find it he got confused the man came to me and said come back to me another time he went back again he might not have read it from back to front again and he came on this ayah and he stopped there and he realized it's in this ayah another ayah that shows إجماع إزاي which is what الله says وكذلك جعناكم أمة وسطا ما معنا وسطا الله explains it later for us وكذلك جعناكم أمة وسطا لتكونوا شوها دعا للناس وينس is over other people our testimony as this أمة محمدية as a whole is taking into consideration the day of the tournament so why not in this دنيا نبي الله آدم نبي الله I'm sorry نوح عليه السلام will say الله I conveyed my message آدم will be said to نبي الله نوح who's your evidence that you conveyed your proof to the أمة where's your evidence that you conveyed the message and he will say أمة محمد أمة محمد wasn't there they have the text for it so he will use us as a what as a reference point so the إجماع of this أمة and wallahi I tell you this anyone who tries to say إجماع has no place is a person who wants to get the Quran of the sunnah and understand it according to his own howah you know what the إجماع does the إجماع it gets rid of anybody who wants to be his own understanding and introduces it it says sorry you don't have no place the umma unanimously agreed upon this understanding sorry he wants to say now that doesn't have no way let me contribute my thoughts into it and it's one of the ways to what to break the back of the sharia when a person wants to say إجماع has no place it's a way to strip Islam and destroy this religion that's what it is and who is the first person who wrote this idea that إجماع other than there was who wrote these thoughts forward who wanted what they wanted to understand the Quran and according to their own howah their own whims and desires for example today can anybody say that the salah the salah is there a dispute that the five daily prayers is there any dispute that it's wajib what's your evidence that if a person comes up to you and says to you if ذور is wajib it's خلاف or he comes up to you and says to you you prove to me ذور is wajib and when you bring him that ahadith which clearly state to pray five daily prayers he say to this كمان is أمر أمر استحباب it's a command which shows recommendation so recommend it now it's not obligatory and all the nasi bring him tomorrow is it the only answer you can give him is what إجماع الأمة منعقد the umma they unanimously came together that the five daily prayers are wajib and if you go against كافر بالله لعلي العظيم you are a kafir you are a disbeliever by going against this unanimous agreement of the umma that they unanimously agreed upon these five daily prayers anything after that there's a محل خلاف is تحيط المسجد واجب or not there's no إجماع that can stop you there is views out there let's say that it's not and there are views that say it is do you see how do you understand so this is how people try to play with the matter of إجماع and you see the علم in every books عقيدة وصول even when عقائد matters when they write the books of عقائد sheikh al-Islami when he finishes عقيدة وصطية he mentioned at the ending that this is this book he wrote everything he studies إجماع الأمة عقيدة وصطية everything in it is the إجماع of the unanimous فرقة تناجية أهل السنة unanimously agreed upon this you can't go against this book عقيدة وصطية does that make sense نعم so إجماع is a مصدر من مصادر التلقي it's a source from the source in which we take our religion from الكتاب والسنة قياس is disputed قياس analogy can it be taken on board or not it's disputed والقول والراجح is taken on board as long as it's what قياس which is صحيح all of these conditions are met the علة the أصل the حكم the فارع are all in place the four conditions of it are in place as for the إجماع it's taken on board it is taken on board and if you follow up this argument that إجماع has no place you will find out that these people they go back to who who do they put their cell who's chain of narration do you come back to regarding them زنادقة زنادقة أهو زنادقة are people who showed Islam had كفر in their house زندق means whenever you hear that word زندق is a person who is what a heretic it's a person who shows Islam يدقروا الإسلامة when he has in his heart نعم so the إجماع of the Ummah is unanimously in agreement anyone who rejects the Ba'ath Resurrection he is a kafir that's إجماع I come and say I disagree my evidences are this my evidences are that no وقوتي لا and he is killed إجماع محلو إجماع anyone who rejects it هاية ولو قال لا إله إلا الله even if he says لا إله إلا الله if somebody says لا إله إلا الله and he says I don't believe Resurrection he is killed as a kafir not as killed as a Muslim who's fallen into a major sin he's not killed a capital punishment only he is killed the killing here right now is what that he's a مرتد he left Islam نعم فكيف بمن نجعلوا لله ندن so the sheikh now is saying then how is the situation like a person who's made besides Allah he worships besides Allah what the one who says لا إله إلا الله he doesn't worship besides Allah he just says أخي when we become this how are we going to be resurrected come look at human being he's finished the earth ate him how is he going to come back to life I can't believe that I don't know anything so كافر بالله العلي العظيم he's a kafir then what do you think of a person who goes to an idol goes to a graveyard and he worships the one that's in the grave and he's calling on to him he's begging him فكيف بمن جعله لله أند how is the situation of a one who goes to an worship besides Allah the answer here right now is what لا يستوون they're not equal the one who disbelieved in the Ba'ath is less are you with me is less in terms of what he said like what would we believe الكفر ملة واحدة كفر is one religion نعم فإن قلت قد أنك رسل الله عليه وسلم على أسامة قتله لمن قال لا إله إلا الله he said الشيخ رحمه الله he said فإن قلت فإن قلت if you say in response to what I've just said to you and you try to retaliate with me by saying this that the prophet rejected showed disapproval of what أسامة بن زيد did after he killed the man who said لا إله إلا الله now pay attention to this if a person says لا إله إلا الله أعصم منه منه دماء his blood is secreted from you and his wife is secreted from you and he whether his line or not is between him and Allah but if that individual comes with a ناقذ something that nullifies that لا إله إلا الله لا إله إلا الله is a مجرد دعوة it's a mere claim it's a what it's a mere claim so the الشيخ رحمه الله he's saying that if you push the argument onto me and say that was the prophet spoke harshly against him the act he did until أسامة بن زيد said أني ما أسلمت قبل that I never took a stand for that day I wish I became Muslim that day that was my first day I came to Islam and this never happened ولي ذلك أسامة بن زيد when Ali and معاوي were fighting he never participated he didn't participate he kept his hands back he knew what he did he didn't want to do it again أقتلته بعداء انقال لا إله إلا الله أسامة did you kill him after he said لا إله إلا الله أسامة كبتي سانباك ولي ذلك البخاري نريد لنصحيح that أسامة بن زيد a gift was حسن and حسين they sent a gift أسامة بن زيد because Ali refused to give anything to him he said أسامة you and I were very close we grew up together and what did you do you didn't come and أسامة she said something very powerful he said يا أبل حسين يا أبل حسن sorry if you entered the mouth of a lion and you slept in the cheek of a lion I would go in in there with you Ali if you go into the cheek of a lion and you go in the mouth of a lion I would go in there with you but I can't spill the blood of a believer that one I cannot aid you with I cannot support you in this so the matter of blood that people take very lightly today for somebody to be dead killed and that blood spills the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said to the Ka'bah ما أعظمك ما أشرفك oh Ka'bah what is greater than you what is more better than you إلا دمروء المسلم except the blood of the believer the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم يناح حديث لزوالوا الدنيا عند الله أهوانوا من قتلوا مروء المسلم the whole universe the whole world world to perish to go is less in the eyes of Allah than a blood of a believer to spill on the floor all this blood that's pouring on the streets in Gaza Palestine in Syria in there and there to Allah it means a lot this is a blood that Allah all entire world to go now imagine this if some enemies today came and they attacked the Ka'bah if some people went out today and they attacked the Ka'bah and they went towards the Ka'bah to destroy the Ka'bah what would you think that the Muslims would do what will the Muslims do as a whole if they knew that the Ka'bah was being attacked somebody wants to go and destroy the Ka'bah the Muslims as a whole would try to fight and retaliate and not accept that while this Ka'bah destroying in the eyes of Allah is less than one blood of a Muslim to spill so so the sheikh is saying if somebody comes up to me and says to me Osama he killed the man after he said so if you bring that type of argument forward to me and you say that which is known in the books of Hadith and Seerah كما هو معروف في كتب الحديث والسيرah قلت لا شك أن من قال لا إله إلا الله من الكفار حكنا دمه وماله حتى يتبين منه ما يخالف ما قال ولذا ولذا أنزل الله في قصة محلم محلم ابني جثامة يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا ضرب ضربت في سبيل الله فتبينوا الشيخ رحمه الله قال I will reply to the argument of yours by saying to you no doubt لا شك أن من قال لا إله إلا الله anyone who says لا إله إلا الله من الكفار from the disbelievers حقنا دمه وماله his blood his wealth all of them are safe I'm protected no one can touch it until what حتى يتبين منه ما يخالف وما قاله until it becomes clear that he opposes what he just said and that's very powerful لا إله إلا الله the way you can come into Islam by saying it there's a way to exit it and leave it as well so the mere saying of it is not enough pay attention now there is there's there's extreme by some people who go extreme this way and there's some people who go extreme the other way and people who don't if you say لا إله إلا الله he still doesn't see you as a Muslim if you say لا إله إلا الله I don't believe you're Muslim I think you're lying those are there's another extreme which is what a person comes with a nullifier that nullifies the Islam and he tells you you're still a Muslim because you said لا إله إلا الله I will protect you لا إله إلا الله I will stand up for you the day of judgment and I will rule so both of them are what وَكِلَبْ طَرَفَينِ مَدْمُمُوا both parties are blame worthy it's incorrect لا إله إلا الله saying it if you come with what nullifies it you come with شرق الأكبر لا إله إلا الله it doesn't exist it's gone and he said also the evidence for that is that the clarification has to be done and that we if you come with what opposes it after we verified he said the evidence for that is سبب نزول الآية this آية يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا ضربتم في سبيل الله فتبينوا this آية in صورة نساء آية 94 the sheikh said it came down on the story of a man by the name of محلم ابن جثامة now that name محلم محلم ابن جثامة جثامة بخاري المسلم محلم سبب نزول بخاري but they did not mention the name of this صحابي محلم ابن جثامة so they didn't mention the name of this individual محلم ابن جثامة they mentioned it in another رواية إما محمد mentioned it إما محمد رواية mentioned it and in the chain of إما محمد one is ضرب there's a contradiction there's a contradiction نعم فأمره ثعالة بالتثبتي في شأنمن قال كلمة التوحد الله الله فتتهابط بحكي شيء وفي شانيفي شاني يprises各 need من يكون if it becomes clear it sticking to but not if it becomes clear if it becomes clear if it becomes clear cat is sticking to حيث يستيقض what the meaning of La ilaha Allah è يستيقض to it, and does not go out of it He has what Muslims have Wherever the Muslims are going to get He gets it with them Wherever the Muslims do not get he does not get it with them He is part of the Muslim Waa ala'iaahi maa ala'iaaihi و والهي ايس upon him what was upon the Muslims يدي الذكات لا يحتاج به يهس بيه with them وع Instincts where there are Muslim و انت بيهن خلافه If it becomes clear that he is up on opposite to what he just said لم يحقاً دمه وماله بمجرد تلفوذي تلفوذي if it becomes clear his opposition of what he said then he said لم يحقاً دمه his blood is not sacred وماله and his wealth بمجرد تلفوذي by just the mere fact of saying it that one help you mere fact of saying it they won't help you وهاكذا كل من أظهرت توحيد and that is the same as everybody who shows توحيد وجبل كفو عنه we have to withhold from him anyone who shows توحيد لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله stay away from him he's a Muslim you need to respect him as a Muslim giving the rights as a Muslim إلا أن يتبين منه ما يخالف ذلك unless it becomes clear to you that he is opposite to the utterance of the word فإذا تبين if it becomes clear لم تنفع هذه الكلمة بمجردها this word by its mere essence it won't benefit him و لذلك لم تنفع اليهود and it didn't benefit the Jews و لا نفعد الخوارجة مع من ضم إليها من العبادة التي يحتقروا الصحابة عبادة تهم إلى الجنبها و الخوارج it didn't benefit them the excessive عبادة which they came with it didn't benefit them in which the Prophet said that the Sahabas would belittle their own عبادة in comparison to their عبادة بل أمر صلى الله عليه وسلم بيقتلهم rather the Prophet ordered them to be killed و قال the Prophet said if I meet the khawarij and I see them لأقتلنهم لأقتلنهم I will kill them like the people of Aad the Prophet said I'm going to kill them like the people of Aad is like I will take them off the face of this Aad I think they call it genocide right there won't be I will cleanse them off the face of this Aad they won't ever exist anymore if I ever see the khawarij I won't let any one of them walk around each and every one of them now the kufar even you can't do that to them you can't kill all the kufar you fight with some some you give them jizya and you force jizya on them some of them you can do عهود and عقود oaths and vows and contracts they're different phases أما خوارج لأقتل they are killed by an Islamic state they are fought with and they are killed وذلك لما خالفوا بعد الشريعة وذلك لما خالفوا بعد الشريعة that is after they oppose some of the legislation they didn't even oppose everything they only oppose some of the legislation and they are the evilest people to be ever killed under the sky the worst people وكانوا they are شر قتل they are the evilest people to be killed تحت أديم السماء under the sky they are the worst people and the evidences have been shown ولي ذلك there are a lot of evidences from those evidences is what the narration of Abu-Mahmat Al-Bahili when he saw them all on the ground and then he said to them كلابوا كلابوا النار you guys are the dogs of the Hellfire to all of them on the ground as they were dead and then the narrator he said to Abu-Mahmat Al-Bahili أسمعتها من رسول الله are you saying this from your own self or did you hear the prophet say this and he looked and he said destruction is on me I am one who says things from his own self I heard it from the messenger not once not twice not three times but so many times that they are the dogs of the Hellfire so evidences and Abu-Mahmat Al-Bahili you ordered for all of them to be thrown into the well not to be buried like the Muslims they were taken and they were all thrown into the well so there was never within Islamic time there wasn't ولي ذلك عليم لأبي الطالب when he killed them he prostrated to Allah سجود شكر he was he said to Allah that he destroyed these people because these people محمد نصر المروزين in his Kitab تعظيم قدر الصلاة imagine this a man comes into the masjid محمد نصر المروزين he mentions this in his book تعظيم قدر الصلاة a man comes into the masjid before he comes into the masjid this man the Sahabas used to always tell the prophet about this man to the prophet يا رسول الله there is this man طاع righteousness he is an amazing individual amazing individual they described him to the prophet the prophet could not realize who he was he said I don't know I don't know who he is as they were talking he came in they said يا رسول الله there he is there he is the prophet looked at him and he said he is a man from the health fire he is on his face شطاة and lies on his face he is a man from the health fire that when the man passed by the prophet said who is going to take the responsibility of going and killing that man who is going to go and go kill him أبو بكر stood up and he went he went over him he saw the man standing and praying in the salah he came back he said يا رسول الله the man is in the salah حما جان he killed him the prophet said who is going to go and kill him أمار went he saw him and he was in sujood أمر came back he said يا رسول الله the man is in sujood أقرب ما يكون العبدي ربي هو وساعد the time when the 7 is the most closest to Allah the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلي فولنترally said يا رسول الله I'm going to go and kill him I'm going to kill this guy the prophet said I don't think you're going to go and reach him when you go there you're not going to find him there وعلي went and he didn't find the man وعلي came back وعلي said يا رسول الله I couldn't find him the prophet said if you killed him that would have been an end of a fitna to kill that man when you got rid of him خوارجة نه خبثة نه evil one of stock carried on in another way أبو نصر المدوز he brings different narrations in another way means that the prophet he voluntarily showed the Sahabah why this man is a man who deserves to be killed so he asked the man he said to him when you came to us and you sort of sitting down did you think to yourself that you were better than everyone in this gathering he said yes who's part of the gathering نبي الله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم he believes he's more closer to Allah than the prophet he believes he's standing up for the shari'a he's making the religion up he's standing he loves the religion than everyone else and he's looking at كفر بله كافر the prophet was kidding كافر so what does that show you brothers what does that show that these people these signs and these alamat that the people get the issue of the خوارج reached حد التواطر the narrations are more than hundreds they are more than what 100 narrations regarding their affairs and there is no group in which the prophet was explicit in the way he spoke about than the خوارج so there are people who can deceive the people of the sunnah they can deceive they can deceive what the people of the lame people of the sunnah people of the misakeen who مشاء الله upon the fitrah who are not corrupt they can easily get fooled by them but not by the علامة or the رسخون not the grounded scholars who know their characteristics and their way they look so be very careful where you take your knowledge from and look at when you are learning a misalaa who from the Salaf صالح and who from the صحاب has understood the verse like this but just take an ayah from the Quran and just read the ayah in this translation and they think that you understood it better than everyone before you من فهمها who understood it in this way this is the problem with these people they never brought the matter back to the علامة ayah you read it bring it to those who know who studied who know the قواعد who know the أصول who know the matters very well who are from the people of knowledge and they will put it in context for you now فثبت أن مجرد قول كلمة التوحيد غير منعن من ثبوت الشرك من قالها لارتكابي لارتكابي لارتكابي ما يخالف ما يخالفها ما يخالفها ما يخالفها من عبادة غير الله فثبت it became clear now and it's affirmed أن مجرد كلمة التوحيد the mere pronunciation of the كلمة التوحيد غير منعن من ثبوت الشرك is not a prevention from the shirk being present in you the pronunciation by itself doesn't prevent you from that من قالها لارتكابي ما يخالفها ما يخالفها من عبادة غير الله when he goes and he commits what he commits to something that opposes it which is what worshipping besides Allah that's what he does ارتكاب means is to commit is to do so that's the mere pronunciation of لا إله الله is not enough فإن قلت if you say to me again just try to use the argument with me so now he's making a dialogue and these are one of the ways the student of knowledge can learn the sheikh is teaching you in a way where they say and you say they say and you should say in reply and this without a doubt and Imam Shafiq did that in his book الرسالة his book جمع العلم جمع العلم both ways it's said he does that he makes it as a what person who's this and this there's a book written by sheikh عضحما ناسل السعودي رحمه الله it's called I think it's called المناظرة فلثق something like that where he writes two men discussing this issue he makes it like two people who are discussing an issue and mashallah you're learning what's the discussion between two people so he said okay what's he gonna reply back okay what's he gonna reply back with okay what's he gonna reply back with very well and this is how it's going now


One thing I wanted to ask you about because on Instagram your name is purple Ella and Coco and Before yeah before we got here to chat.  Yeah, I mean I can talk about dogs all day long So happy to dive into that one. Yeah, so I've had Coco since she was a puppy and Have owner trained her as my assistant dog with the support of an organization that supports with things like Trainers and insurance and stuff to help you do that with in a kind of supported way. Did that make sense? Yeah, so I would say working with Coco is has been life-changing for me in that I'm now able to like attend hospital appointments and go shopping and stuff on my own Where previously I would have had to have made my husband take the day off work and come and do it with me But it isn't without its challenges. So I always like to say that like on the one hand. I've got this amazing support and Relationship with this animal that I absolutely adore and who is the most uncomplicated Relationship that I have in the I'm never worrying. You know, you're autistic. I'm never worrying. Does she like me? Did I say the wrong thing? What does that facial expression mean? You know, she's just like solidly consistently the way she is and she doesn't answer back and she never disagrees with me I loved yeah, yeah, exactly But on the other hand Especially if your owner training an assistance dog and especially if you're quite a black and white thinker They're not perfect not even guide dogs for the blind are perfectly behaved all the time And I think I kind of thought they were before I became an assistance dog handler I kind of thought an assistance dog was just almost like a robot that never had a bad day, right? But they do they have bad days and sometimes the training doesn't work And that can be really frustrating and no matter how I'm feeling I've got to walk her and I've got to care for her You know, which can be a good thing because it kind of keeps you motivated, but can also be a bit of a challenge But for me, I absolutely love working with Coco and I'm also the ambassador One of the ambassadors for dogs for autism who are a charity in the UK who provide fully trained Dogs to autistic people of all ages, which is awesome because actually all the other charities are doing brilliant work But no one's working with autistic adults apart from these guys in the UK. Yeah, I kind of I kind of really care about this Yeah, I think the the looking after and the walking and the the feeding is because I've You know thought about getting an assistance dog because throughout my life. I've had I Mean my my big brother was a dog Lovely lovely mongrel from them from the kennel called Bob Called him Bobby dog great dog. No, and he I think he I think he lived up until he's about 14 or 15 and He was he was definitely like a massive emotional support for me I think that the issue for me comes in that I still haven't sorted out all the executive functioning issues that I have and You know even getting myself to eat and getting myself out to a walk would be difficult One one thing that I that I sort of picked up when you were you were talking about Autism assistance dogs is that you've had a lot of difficulties with accessing venues Places that you know should should be accessible and I think you said in the video that there's you know Denying someone who has an assistance dog into into a venue is you know against the law. It's it's a reasonable adjustment Have you had have you had many experiences like that or is it more of an isolated? Yeah No, unfortunately, it does happen regularly and I kind of thought it was maybe happening regularly to me because I work with a dog It doesn't look like most assistance dogs You see kind of black labs or golden retrievers right whereas cocoa is a small fluffy dog So I thought maybe it's that maybe people aren't used to seeing that but I've been following YouTuber Molly Burke who is blind and she works with the guide dog and she has access problems And I'm like if someone with the most well-known most obviously working dog Is having problems with access we all are right? Yeah So what I've started to do is I have I found it really stressful for the first year or so of working with cocoa having to explain every time Actually, we are covered by the equality law Actually, you do have to let us in and you know dealing with that was like almost more anxiety provoking than not having the dog in some instances Yeah, I think there was one particular memorable instance when I wasn't allowed to do a COVID PCR test with her They just wouldn't let me in and I only would they not let me in but they were quite aggressive in their manner with me So that was quite stressful. So after that particular incidents with a big kind of beefy Yeah, yeah, it was a lot after that I realized that what I could do was and this is kind of anyone that's got a dog Assistance dog. You can do this is I got from Etsy a card that has a QR code I can literally just go just scan this and it takes them to a place where all the law around Assistance dogs is explained and since I've been using that it's gotten a lot easier because I'm just like here's my card Just do and half the time. They don't even scan it. They're just like, oh, right. Okay, then But it saves I think as an autistic person Anything that saves the need to do more communication than I have to is a helpful thing. Yeah, especially with answers. I I have a particular aversion to any security or security staff or bounces because I'm very heavily PDA and I find it really difficult That there's been sometimes that sometimes when I've gone to like the pub with my friends or or something and if And it's I always find I always find myself getting very on-age and very annoyed Around the security stuff Yeah, well, I'm not gonna say that I walked away shouting words that I wouldn't use this podcast Guy in the end that might have been what happened. Oh, they're just so I Could go I could go on about it forever. But yeah, he basically treated me like I was a precious Karen and I think that's I think as a as a white female presenting middle-aged person The Karen kind of meme or however you would describe it has not been helpful for me Because for example like a couple of days ago, I was having to say to someone Why don't you have a blue badge parking space a disabled parking space? I needed one. You don't have one You've got a 20 20 cars park art You've got a 20 car Car park You should have it and the way they treat me was like I was being the Karen and I wasn't saying mate My coffee isn't the right temperature I was saying I have an access need that you're not meeting but I feel like I get that vibe a lot and this security guard was Definitely giving me that I just think you're a precious, you know Karen type You have to you have to deal with those circumstances where people don't let you in because of because of Coco a Lot so I imagine that it's quite like oh here we go again Honestly, I think the biggest problem is not so much that because at least in that situation I know that the law is on my side I've talked about it enough now to know that the law is on my side that I can handle it The biggest problem is people who want to pet her. Yes, I get so every single time I leave the house with my assistant's dog 50% of the people we come across will want to pet her or interact with her And that's really difficult because I've spent a long time training her to ignore people when we're working So if they're trying to do that, that's a really mixed message for her. And so then I'm having to say to people Sometimes like really cute elderly people or people with children, you know, so you feel awful Like actually, can you just ignore her? And I don't know how to say it in a way and because I'm autistic I don't know how I'm struggling to say in a way that doesn't sound mean Yeah, and I find that that's probably the biggest problem more than the kind of access thing So if anyone listening to this podcast takes anything away from what I'm saying It's if you see a service dog or an assistant's dog working. Don't even look at them. Just ignore them I suppose there's a lot of Unexpected and unwanted social interaction when you're just kind of wanting to go out for a day But dog dogs are definitely a magnet to a lot of people Yeah, I mean it can be good. I don't want to leave on an entirely negative It can be a positive it can mean that I have a nice little social interaction with someone with a very scripted easy, you know Topic but in general if you see me about with my dog if you could just ignore us that Brilliant

Down in the lobby you can meet up with your team to work on an assignment.


We got you, so before the meeting to order again, we met at 6 o'clock on Chapman Lane, and so we'll continue on with the minutes of September 18th, 2018. Is there a motion? Move, we accept the minutes subject to modification. Second. Page one. Page four. Page four. Hearing no corrections or anything else. All those in favor of approving the minutes of September 18th, 2018, say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? One abstention? Enjoy. This is time for public comment, so if there's anyone in the audience who wishes to make a public comment on any issue, this is your time to do so. Seeing no hands raised, we'll move on to the Verizon Wireless lease of the Old Brick Church. And Rick or Erica, who's going to lead off on this? Very good. And then we have people from SAI as well. So the town's been approached by Verizon Wireless with a proposal to install, sell your antennas inside the steeple of the Old Brick Church. It would be part of a lease agreement where the town would receive $24,000 annually for that space. The antennas would be inside the church steeple that wouldn't be visible from the outside. There would be additional control panel equipment that would need to be located inside the Old Brick Church. In your board packet, there are some conceptual plans with these pieces diagrams. The Old Brick Church trustees met last week to discuss this proposal, and the trustees would inform to one of them at their level. So at this stage, staff is seeking consensus in the board whether this concept is something we should explore further. And if there's consensus to proceed from the board, we would work through a legal agreement, have the town attorney review it, and take it to the board to get into more of the finer details. And we've met with these folks a few weeks back, and Rick has some questions that we've worked through a little bit and some other issues. One of the questions we asked is if these cellular devices are put in the steeple, does that increase or decrease the likelihood that the steeple might get hit by lightning? Another, and this may be a bigger concern, is what kind of physical changes might be required. We know in our through our discussions that from the exterior, it'll look the same. But you may not be aware of this, but before it got hit by lightning, we had actual louvers there, and we had problems with rain. In fact, there was a plastic swimming pool that used to sit up there and collect some of the rain as it came in. The pool might still be up there. It survived the fire. But in order to prevent that from happening again, the louvers that are up there now are fake. There's wood backing, and then the louvers are attached to that wood backing. So we know that water can't get into that. It also prevents sound from the bell, if the bells are wronged from getting out. It's kind of a muffled sound if you ring it now, versus real louvers. But in any case, those aren't great for cell signals. The way we currently have structures.  And if I say we, it would be the, we'd expect the Verizon would be coming up with the alternative, and it would have to, we'd have to be assured that it wouldn't allow rain to get back in again. It would be visually appealing if we wanted to. Well. Period, right? Well, our expectation is that visual standpoint, it won't look any different than it looks now. From the exterior, I should say. Interior, obviously, is something different. The interior would just be in the area that most of the people don't go into right into the tower there. So is there any concern with structural or electrical delivery? Because that must use, doesn't it only have old wiring, or has it been updated? That's a more technical question. The Verizon is here, so we're representatives here. So they might be able to answer that. But there is going to be some auxiliary equipment that would be part of this. And we have, the boiler room has a lot of space in it. And I guess there's a way we can put all this equipment in that boiler room. The boiler used to be quite a bit larger than it is now. And does something want to generate or something on the site? Well, this question. So anyway, I just want to give you a flavor of some of the questions we had on a preliminary basis. Obviously if the board is interested in pursuing this concept, we will continue our review of the draft agreements. And as Eric said, we'll send them for legal review as well. But right now we're just looking for concept before we start spending more staff resource and legal fees. So anyway, why don't we ask the gentlemen here to address some of the technical pieces. The table. Introduce yourselves for the record, please. Yeah, I'm Andrew Davis with SAI, Real Estate Consultant for Verizon Wireless. And with me is AJ Lamfair. He's RF engineer for Verizon Wireless. Did you have a presentation? We're just waiting for us to ask questions. I think the bare bones have been laid out. I can give a broad brush stroke. We are seeking to lease space in the steeple of the church. Two center lines worth of space for antennas and associated remote radio heads. To run that, we'll need equipment space, which is proposed adjacent to boiler room in the back. And it's approximately an 8 foot by 10 foot space. We will need to cable between the equipment and the antennas. And by locating in those two locations, we should be able to bring that up through the large open space above the church over to that steeple area to get the fiber to the antennas. And the terms were correct. What was presented, it's $24,000 annually to be paid in monthly payments, 2% annual increase. The time of commitment Verizon seeking is 25 years set up in an initial five-year term with four additional five-year renewals. Any other improvements having to be made to the building like electricity or structurally? We will have a structural analysis done. So we need to make sure that it is structurally capable. It's a benefit to us that we've got some fairly modern construction to work with, and we actually have plans. Many of the times that we work with a church steeple, we don't have as much to work with. So we will need a structural analysis to show that what we're proposing meets engineering standards. Terry, if I could, just since the fire, the steeple's all been rebuilt. It's got structural steel and everything out there. There's nothing old construction, so. All right, I didn't know that. Okay. Electricity, I imagine that must have been redone at some point as well. It is. Verizon would seek to be direct meter, but we would also have our electrical engineer take a look at the plans and update with any changes that would need to be made for Verizon's use. That was a concern that the brick church trustees had. The locating the power units or whatever they are in the back where the furnace room is, puts it away from the sanctuary upstairs and also away from the basement area downstairs. And so one of the concerns was, well, if there's a problem in the middle of a wedding, what's going to happen? But even then, they can access it from the rear of the building and not affect anything that's going on in the upstairs sanctuary. So it seems like in the unusual circumstance where they need to access in the middle of some activity there, it seems like it would not be a major disruption to whatever activity that is. We'll have the engineers take a look at the amount of space there together with the equipment. It's fairly open space. So we'll see if it will need any further age back. I've seen a number of these sites where it'll operate just fine like it is. I'm anticipating that to be the case, but I'd like to see the engineer and come back for that. One important point is that this power and everything as part of their operation would be separately metered, as I understand it. That is our preference in the agreement. There is a provision in the instance that we cannot be separately metered. There is a provision for the sub metering where we can pay in advance as rent, money attributable to electric. It's strongly preferable for both parties that we be directly metered. In some instances it's not possible, but in most it is. In the upstairs room where you're proposing to put the equipment, right now there's some limited storage up there for a couple of organizations. And do you think that that would affect the ability to store minimal amount of stuff that's already there? It will. The 8 foot by 10 foot that we're anticipating leasing will have equipment in it. And the opportunity for storing some of that stuff in that space will be diminished or removed. There's some other space, though, in the boiler room, isn't there, Bruce? There's sort of like two rooms up there. One that's very open, and then the boiler room, which is the door. Yeah. The boiler room is fairly open. I'd be a little bit concerned about all of the storage there because there's a boiler room, but I think certainly some things could be stored. Okay. And currently there's cell phone coverage in the village of Williston is a problem for some people anyway. Will this help the coverage? It will. Verizon does not want me to spend their money frivolously. It's been a long time since I've heard the words, it's only capital. So the site is needed. It will help. More people doing more things with more data. And if Verizon does nothing to bolster its existing network, it will continue to degrade. So we need to continue adding sites. So this will be a very helpful site in a very well-positioned location. There is a site down the street that's also being used, but not by Verizon. Oh, that's right. It's a different company. Yes. I think it's, what is it, T-Mobile or whatever. Any further questions? We talk a little bit about liabilities. You know, one of the concerns, and I have no idea how legitimate of a concern it is or not, but this is a gathering place. A lot of people end up there on a fairly frequent basis. So are there health impacts of locating an antenna right above them? This site is maintained in compliance with the FCC regulations. So it is fine within the rest of the church for the general population to be there is no issue. We have sites all over the place in similar type instances. We have a site over Task Corner and fake chimneys there, right above a main shopping area that people are in and out of all the time. And we have sites in churches similarly all over the place. The one thing that we will need to do is we will want to make sure that the access up into the area where the antennas are actually housed is restricted to authorized users only. And we will want to make sure that we have a maintenance plan so if there's any work that's going to be performed on the roof adjacent the antennas, that we be informed so we can shut those antennas down.  The balance of the building that's used for the public ingress, egress activities, it'll comply with general population requirements. What's the danger of having somebody directly in front of the antennas? I am not an engineer. I understand that it's not a good situation and it's my job to help prevent that. I know for example when our clock winder has to go up in the clock tower for the Federated Church, there are requirements that he notify the company. Most workers follow a six minute rule. Workers that are trained to be in those environments, it's often a six minutes in that environment, six minutes out, but it requires certain training to work in those environments and it's best to know what that environment is and just have a policy where it's shut off in the instances that somebody's there that's not trained to be in. So essentially what we're looking to do is the access point to get in there, make sure that there's appropriate signage so that people understand that there are antennas that are functioning and also make sure that any workers that perform work like on the exterior of the steeple are aware so that we can shut that off. The antennas themselves are actually up in the steeple generally we wouldn't hardly, it'd be very, very rare that we'd have anyone up there but there could be examples where we'd need to do some maintenance or something so we'd have to just make sure we coordinate that. How far from the steeple is that an issue like if you're working on a tree or dropping limbs off, are there any trees left around the... Actually the big tree that was close is gone. That is a question let's say someone is on the... We have a balcony area in the sanctuary that's a little bit closer, you know, is that... Underneath the antennas there's not going to be an RFE issue. It's when you're directly in front of the antenna because it's a directional panel and the RFE is being transmitted forward. You can stand behind the antenna with zero effect.  Yeah and we will, as I mentioned in that meeting I can have a third party report done that demonstrates what areas would be required for us to be notified to shut it off so that we can incorporate that in an RF safety plan so that we have the ability, if you have workers so they can understand okay are we in it or out of it and do we need to shut it down. And it's a pretty simple process to coordinate shutting it down and I've recently gone through that process with an educational institution in the state and I can ask for their permission to share some of the correspondence on that if you'd like to see it. It's pretty much a series of emails that let folks know when it's... As long as there's proper signage in the area I think that would be the key. So the takeaway is these types of installations are occurring in a godzillion places across the US. A lot. Basically, okay. Somebody mentioned the concept of emergency power. Will you need a source of emergency power? We would like when in this instance I think we're able to design without it but our strong preference is to have the ability to back the site up. So what would that mean? It's... There's three different levels. There's some battery backup that's generally included anyways that'll take it for a certain amount of time and it would even in the case of a generator would be required just to get the handover time to the generator. A generator would be another layer like a fixed permanent generator or another alternative is a plug located where in an outage we can bring in a generator plug it in, back it up. That Verizon's discretion if they need to back it up in those instances. So has that decision been made with this site yet about the need for emergency power? I still have some finalizing of that but all indications are we might be able to design this without it but it's still the preference to obtain those rates or at a bare minimum have a plug. We might have a problem with a separate outside generator but a plug is certainly... I'm sure we could work something out on that. Just thinking, I mean I get it if there's a power outage and the wedding's going on there's going to be affected by the power outage but on the other hand I'm not sure they'd be thrilled with the generator going on at the same time. We have other concerns. There's some homes nearby. In addition to that it's quite a historical thing. What we're proposing really can blend in very well given that that steeple's been redone and that we can replace those louvers within our transparent louver but we also have to pass this past the State Historic Preservation Office and I think what we show today would pass muster. The generator I could see them raising an eyebrow to and having to find... Then my last question is if there is work that the town needs to do on the steeple in the agreement will it trust who's responsible for removing the antennas and that type of work if that's necessary? And the reason why I bring this up is because of the work and deals with structures that have antennas on them and those municipalities that don't have a clause that addresses this sometimes are rootfully awakening when they have to do something like paint it and find out they have to remove, the cost of removing and reinstalling the antenna so I just would like that to be addressed as part of the agreement. Does that make sense? It does make sense and I am aware of those issues on certain other sites. On a particular site, luckily I think the opportunity for conflict is more reduced than in other installations that I can picture. However, I get the town not wanting to have the tail wag the dog in the sense of maintaining its property. I think we can probably find a way to do that and maybe incorporate that. We just have to make sure that we have the opportunity to coordinate that and once this is functioning, shutting down for certain durations can be undesirable. I get that, yes. Given the newness of that construction and the unlikely nature of it to be redeveloped in some different format, a developer frequently will deal with a redevelopment clause because some use might supersede another with a historic building of that nature, I would assume that it's less likely to be redeveloped in its entirety unless there's a complete casual loss of it or something. But we can work on that concept and make sure at the end of the day you'll either approve this or you will not. That's a sticking point and it won't get approved. And Rick and Eric, you understand that? Okay, great. And Bruce too. And I get the concept. And find a way to either get that to work or understand that we won't. Other questions? If not, then do we have consensus to go forward with the concept and then to be brought back before us before it's approved? I'm good. Good. Thank you very much. Thank you. A few minutes before the public hearing starts, let's go on to number eight, the vast agreement. And Rick, are you talking about that? This is an annual agreement between the Williston Hill Hawks Simmobile Club. Public lands permit simmobiles on trails that cross townlands. Select orders approve this subject to conditions suggested by the Conservation Commission and Public Works in the past. And your packet is the agreement for this upcoming year. I checked with Moonland to Scott, the conservation planner, what's changed from last year's agreement and very, very minimal, maybe a few commas and non-substantial words here and there. So passing the board for a motion to approve this agreement authorized. Questions for Eric? Then a motion would be in order. Move to approve the use of public land by the Williston Hill Hawks and the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers and to authorize the managers to sign an agreement for section 2018-2019. Second. Discussion of the motion. Just that they used to come in and ask in person. Yeah, what happened to that? That's true. A long time ago. What's that? The Hill Hawks would be here in person. Right, I remember. The only other thing I'd say is I noticed that they don't have a president, they have a master. That too. I was actually wondering what his name is because there's no printed name. So I can't read that. It's underlying Hill Hawks master. Kind of like it. We can figure that out. At our next time we have a select board organization we should decide if our chair should be called the master. That'll be the rules of transmission. Second. Discussion on the motion. If not all those in favor of the motion say aye. Aye. Any opposed? No extensions. And we can go on to item number 10, the credit card limit resolution. So Eric, you're doing that one too? Yep. So requests for the board tonight, our current line of credit with our business credit card is $7,500 from People's United Bank. That's allocated between two cards, one held by the finance director for general administration has a limit of 5,000. Others held by Marty, the library director for $2,500. Request is from the fire department. This additional line of credit increase of $2,500 would be allocated to a card for the fire department. The chief would control that card to authorize any staff to make purchases. The practice that's used in other departments, I talked with Jennifer Cannelly, the finance director today. Someone uses the card. They have approved purchase by the director. Receipts are collected and that card is reconciled at the end of the month. People's United Bank that has our business credit card requires the board to pass a resolution and that resolution is in your packet tonight if... Questions for Eric regarding the recording? I'm totally okay with the idea but I'm just curious what type of purchases would they be using the credit card for? I think... I didn't spoke to the chief directly about this but I think general supplies and be some things that they need to order online that may be more expeditious to pay with a credit card. I can't imagine if it's in the $2,500 limit probably no major piece of equipment. Sometimes conference registration or workshop registrations are handled online and you need a credit card for those so that's another example. Any further questions with the context? As recommended by our finance director, yes. Okay. Any further questions? The motion would be in order. I'd move to adopt the resolution as presented to you. Any discussion on the motion? Very none. All those in favor of the motion say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Let's move on to financial management questionnaire and that's something that Deb has prepared for us in the last several years. The board has a copy of that in the packet as well and this is required that the town treasurer and state statute complete this and the board has given a copy for review. We just asked for a motion to acknowledge this. Any questions for Eric? Regardless. In Deb's letter memo to us she mentioned something called the CC SPA as requested by the town manager. What is CC SPA? Sending County Public Safety Authority. Okay. Thank you. Any further questions regarding the questionnaire? You're a quick good pickup if you're right. Sending County PSA, Public Safety rather than PCA. No wonder I didn't recognize it. If there's no other further questions then the motion is in order and this one too. I'd move to acknowledge receipt of the financial management questionnaire for fiscal 2018. Any discussion on the motion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye. Any opposed? So now it's just about 730 and we can go to the public hearing of Chapman Lane discontinuance and we do have a resolution that we passed back on the 21st day of August and part of it says it resolved that the board will meet at 507 Chapman Lane to examine the section of road being considered for discontinuance at 6pm on Tuesday October 2nd and further resolved that a hearing to receive comments on the portion of Chapman Lane in accordance with Title 19 of the Vermont statutes to be held on October 2nd, 2018 at 7.30pm. So we are in the public hearing part of this and Rick are you going to lead us off just with the what we're doing here tonight? I'm going to let Eric have a good job and we'll keep that. I think we've hopefully right off in the site visit earlier by now but this is required in state statue whenever a town is going to discontinue a section of a roadway is to have an opportunity to have a public hearing if there's any concerns from the public regarding the town taking that step. So this would be about 150 feet long section of roadway. The board looked at earlier this evening. It's the end of Chapman Lane the town's it's still a Class 3 town road the town's been maintaining for a number of years by contracting out the plowing work and this would the town would give up its property rights and they would go to the adjacent landowners if the board moves to discontinue this section of roadway to see then. Thank you. So are there any member of the public here tonight that wishes to make a public comment regarding the discontinuance? Yes. This may have been on the board room when this first came up. It may have been. Perhaps Attorney Roy could fill us in on In Ray Bill and the trouble that he caused with that person. Oh. Ancient roads issue. If there are there's no one here to wish to speak on the public hearing then the motion to close the public hearing is in order. I move to close the public hearing on discontinuing a segment of Chapman Lane. Is there any discussion on the motion? All those in favor of the motion to close the hearing say aye. Aye. Any opposed? We'll consider the discontinue in the section of Chapman Lane. Are there questions for Eric or Rick on this? Just one minor thing Eric, in your memo to us, you mentioned it's a 1, 2, 3, 4 paragraph down. Last sentence, it talks about a loud under its next flood measures permitting. Could you explain that? That was the permit provided by ANR. It's the upcoming It's a permit from Chris Bernal, three bags engineer. It gives us permission to get that call work when they're new to work. Okay. Expires December of this year. Stream alteration or whatever permit. Under next flood measures is the way he gave us that permit which means to get this done before a flood happens. Oh, okay. So they want it done sooner than later in other words. Okay, good. Thank you. Any further questions? The only thing I was wondering is with this road discontinuance, the reason is because there's one house at the end that acts as a driveway. But what are our rules around this? Do we have any rules or is it just a practical matter? In other words, if you have a road, a dirt road in the town is has the right of way or owns it and there's only one house at the end of the dirt road. What's different between that and this? And if the homeowner doesn't care, I mean, and we get it off our books, I mean, I think it's fine for me, but what's the difference between those two? In other words, what precipitated us to want to do this?  Well, we're going to do it anyway. I guess I'm not 100% sure I understand you, Chris, but I understand that the town owns the property, right? The current roadway. Is that true? Right. And of course, because we own it we have to maintain it and most of our maintenance costs have been for plowing. Sure. And we have to hire a special contractor because our equipment doesn't fit down there and the contractor has to plow the full length because they can't plow that short section back up and it's just not practical. So that's one part of it. The other part of it is we do have to replace the culvert and if we continue to own it for the next 50 years, we'll have to replace it maybe more than once. So it's a lot of potential liability and then the third piece is it's sort of still a road so we have to bring in gravel for that little section and as the gravel gets washed out, you have to bring in more or so. So is there a thought that one house on a road invalidates the towns maintaining and that's what I'm trying to, that's the point I'm getting at. It's not the, it's what caused us is because there's only one house on that road versus you saying well we're going to discontinue working on wildflower circle because there's only 46 houses there and we like to have 50 houses or else we don't want to, you know what there's one house, I understand the practical matter but what somebody else asked me this question so another residence I'm trying to understand I think maybe Bruce has a better answer but I think the fact that it is one house does make a difference. If there are multiple property owners with the potential of other houses that also might make a difference. So that doesn't exist. Not in this one little section. It's the only location in the whole town of Wilson that is like this. We wouldn't have this issue on any other property. Okay. I could, the way I look at it, I mean it's very consistent with that is I could see a situation where there'd be one house at the end of a road and we'd want to maintain a piece that maybe has a turnaround, maybe to access some area that the town for some reason may need to access the piece with this property and tonight really reinforce it. The piece the town is giving up truly to me feels like a driveway. Not a road. It just, you know I have a hard time saying the piece we're giving up is anything but a driveway. It certainly looks that way right now. The way it's been overgrown and I mean a driveway with a covert but Okay. So it's basically just the practical matter of and if the if the homeowner didn't want to take it over would that, what would that do? Would that present a problem for us or could we still discontinue it? I think that action you might have someone appealing that to the courts in some fashion which is why we've tried to work with the land batters so that that would not happen. You can give that land back without any Oh, okay. I didn't know that. And then the other piece to this and correct me if I'm wrong, we will be losing a little bit of money that the state gives us for this piece of road but the cost and liability of the maintenance that needs to be done, I assume exceeds the benefit we receive for maintaining this piece of class 3 road. Bruce would have a better sense but I suspect it is even close the cost of The cost of In fact when we did it before but if it's so minimal we're going to be ahead of the game because we're paying $40 a plow trip Okay good enough $40 that's all that we have to pay personal trip go out there and plow that for $140 I don't know I'm sorry I've got that memo from 2011 believe it or not and class 3 roads receive about $1495 per mile so right thank you yeah all right thank you further questions the motion is an order I'd move to issue an order of highway discontinuance for a portion of Chapman lane second discussion on the motion I just want to verify we've not received an objection from the invaders did I say their name correctly we've not received any communication at all we've sent them registered letters we've sent them unregistered letters we sent them emails we've called them I think on the phone we didn't call them on the phone and we did prior to the warning of this we actually met with them though and they seemed to be fine with what we were proposing they weren't agreement with in concept and we drafted that was a good meeting and they didn't have any issues raised at that time thank you further discussion on the motion all those in favor of the motion say aye I opposed the abstentions so we're down to the regional planning commission we have Chris Roy the president of CCRPC and Charlie Baker the executive director welcome both of you down to we've been saving it for last right you know it's the best part saving it for last right on time thank you very much for making time on your agenda for us we appreciate it and so this is really I think of these as a little bit of customer service calls the town is a member of the regional planning commission you've appointed Chris as your representative on our board who's now our chair in his third year as chair and so really partly I'm looking for any feedback about you know our services to the town positive or negative things we can improve on but also just to kind of check in and see if there's other things we can help the town with I think you got our report in your packet the first page is really background what the regional planning commission is made up of municipalities plus some sector representatives if you will and a little paragraph about our budget which is primarily federal and state funding about I think it's 7% or 8% is municipal funding leverage or return on local investment and your appointees on our board and committees right now and Wilson is a very active member not just with Chris but also at the technical advisory committee the planning advisory committee etc the clean water advisory committee so we have a lot of interactions with your staff at least on a weekly basis I would say the next two pages and I think this is the longest list I've seen as I've gone around the county for better or worse I don't know if it's good or bad but probably multiple dimensions to that but is the list of specific projects that we've undertaken in FY 18 with the town of Austin I'm not going to read all these individually but definitely a lot of transportation studies looking at traffic comming or sidewalks looking at your impact fees looking at transportation improvement district around exit 12 and then some water quality things emergency management things the municipal roads general permit happy to answer or try to answer any questions or feedback on any of those efforts yeah sure so I just had a quick question I was looking at the different traffic studies you've done and I notice you know something like Brennan Woods cost us I'm going to go I can't find it right now but off the top of my head like $15,000 and then Maple Street cost us $30,000 now maybe it's just dollars to date or something but it just seemed like Brennan Woods that's a big area to evaluate and then Maple Street just a little tiny thing and I was just surprised we I would have thought they would be the other way around I guess in terms of cost to us it really depends on what the study is looking at and so I'm sorry you were looking at the Brennan Woods for $15,000 what was the other one Maple Road yeah and I think the traffic calming one you may have just been a little bit less as we look at traffic calming issues as opposed to when we're because that's within the right of way when we're looking at a sidewalk study we may be getting into issues of right of way and more design aspects really to the sidewalk but I think it just kind of just depends on the scope so lots of these we don't fix the cost at the front end we're asking the engineering consultants and say you know give us a quote how much would it cost to do this scope of work so that's kind of how it turns out and just for clarity's sake because it's not clear in this the town is only ever paying 20% of these costs right and understand that we get benefit from the but so how to so the contract amount for these different studies is the number that's in there yeah not what we've paid out right that's the 100% cost of the project and you pay the local match or 20% of that just wondering if we have any standard for this seem a little upside in terms of if I ask my staff like they can ballpark it a little bit but it's always gets refined when we actually get the specific scope of work in front of a consultant and it's very location specific and I and I've looked at both of these and I think it probably has to do you'll recall with the maple road study they were looking at sidewalks on one side as opposed to the other and where driveways were in the like whereas the Chamberlain Lane Brennan Woods was more purely how many cars are going through how fast are they going and what can you do about that so I do think there was more sort of engineering design like work that was done with respect to the maple road report I know they at the end they recommended nothing I think to do they don't do anything in maple and then they are doing things on at least I think we're doing things maybe temporary to start on Brennan but thank you yeah no problem before we move off of this can you talk a little bit about the real time traffic information project yeah so and and this is listed under willison you may ask why county why well it's not really county wide it's five specific corridors which include 2A and 2 which is why it's it's captured under your town report but you see it's you know a million bucks or close to it and a lot of that was testing and then we did four other corridors and it's really devices that are I think monitoring bluetooth activity at this point and really tracking speeds and travel times from point to point and it's really going back into v-trans traffic control system so a couple things with that one is to put to be able to get traveler information out like if a crash were to happen you can get that information back out to the traveling public in the ways of v-trans that might be a message board it could be text you know radio all those communication tools but that's what it's intending to do so this is you know early on and some of getting more technology out on the highways I think another project that's not listed here that we didn't really do but v-trans did was upgrading the signals along 2a to make them more recent technology and more adaptive and responsive to actual traffic conditions I think we're going to see a lot more of this kind of investment as we try to use the existing infrastructure more efficiently and just I mean I think it's kind of a neat idea but I do wonder if the folks who are worried about protection of their personal data if there's a concern at all about it talks about anonymous tracking of bluetooth devices I'm just curious when it says anonymous you're worried that maybe that's not true big brother yes so that is my understanding of technology is it's it's getting signals but it's not it's not going in and identifying anything where it knows who it is it's it knows that there was a device that traveled down that road maybe for that long or that speed but it doesn't know anything more about you or who it is or anything else and I not my field especially I don't know if somebody could figure that out or back in and and get past you know a certain point and get more information smarter people than me maybe able to give you a better answer than that but to my understanding and it was important at the outside of this that it be anonymous that it wasn't tracking any individual information with respect to travelers now it was an initial concern or looked at that project was like there could be some scary reactions to this so we're trying to do everything we could to minimize those concerns any other questions on specific projects and I'll flip the page so this is the list of projects I'm sorry this is always special conversation it'll be shocking to those of you I served on the select board that I continue to regale them with respect to various sundry transportation projects so it continues to be a running joke we appreciate so this list sorry for those of you watching at home we don't know what we're looking at is a list of projects that are in the capital program with v-trans and are also in the regional transportation improvement program and I think the reason you know some sort of dark humor is there a lot of these projects really came out of the CERC alternatives process and so a lot of them say scheduled to be determined and so you know I think this is an ongoing challenge that is pretty particular to the town of Williston that you have so many of these projects where the schedule is to be determined I think it is something with Bruce and with other folks at the town that we need to keep monitoring with v-trans and Chris and I were talking earlier I don't know the last time that v-trans came in to talk to the town about the status of these projects I think that maybe should happen again let me know happy to take some of that feedback and maybe even pretty soon might be a timely time to poke that issue with v-trans because they are putting together their FY20 program over the next month or two and I'm happy to make that ask I think the answer is yes quite sure I know what they're going to say well you know I think they said six years ago right this is about perseverance put a light on it jay brown drive what else do you want my first was elected to the select board in 2008 I can remember the eerily looking forward to the US2 industrial lab intersection which happily now has only been put off to 2020 should we bring up the park and ride which I think as long as I've been on the select board has been a desire with the intersection of route 2 and industrial avenue when I first was manager here some state officials came in and told me about this wonderful project they were going to do in the next year or two at that intersection we're still waiting I see that one is scheduled for 2020 so too which is good but the question I have is that the project that is going to make Williston have to replace the water main so that's a huge issue for Williston and this delay is causing problems because we had budgeted that money for the project assuming it was going to be done in a reasonable time period and as this strikes on that number becomes more and more suspect we'll have to take a look at it this year to see if it needs bolstering but we do have some yes and just quirk in this we had decided that a portion of that project most of it would be paid by the water users but also a small portion paid by the town because there was a lot of rationale that went into that decision but the town was viewing it as a benefit from the water department and so it eased the burden a little bit on the water department users take away from that now Rick I'll loop you into conversation with VTrans and we'll try to get them scheduled with you yeah and the last two, three pages are regional activities so these are things that we've undertook in FY18 without regard to or not specific to any one municipality these include things like updating our regional Ecos plan hosting a legislative forum working on the building homes together campaign clean water issues dispatch, energy planning neighbor rides active transportation more intelligent transportation systems work we'll give you back any of those how is regional dispatch planning and infrastructure coming? Rick can probably give you a better answer than I can but I would say slow and steady I think the group is we're in the process of the final stages of deciding on a consultant that will help us take this process to the next stage and so we haven't hired that consultant but we will be deciding on that very, very soon that's for the infrastructure that you choose to it covers the computer infrastructure software but also it actually involves starting to staffing and setting up the financial pieces I would say financial I don't need money I'm talking about how you handle the finance piece of it you have to bring an auditor in at some point you have to hire a pay service you have to have some financial management oversight there's lots of management issues and personnel matters that have to be worked through and so the consultant is being hired to actually help through that whole process you get somebody who's done this before and some other that's why the consultant is being because the consultant I believe that is the most important part of the experience are there questions? comment the e-mail newsletter that could send out once a month I read it I actually find it quite good Kudos to whoever puts it together appreciate that thank you folks for having us nice to see you again it was an early Halloween I decided to come here and dress like Jeff with a hair color that's uncanned I just got over this thing a couple weeks ago I was like jeez I'm Jeff just like Jeff we could have switched positions nobody would have noticed thanks a lot folks if you ever have any questions drop me a line or whatever I'd be happy to look right into it so Chris three years on the as the chair this is my third and probably last time congratulations no problem thanks for all the work that the RPC does for us as well thank you appreciate it I'll send you the last one I should write myself a note quick read and they're helpful and they have great links moving on to manager's report just a couple items actually I'm going to let Eric touch on one of them I'll let you go first for a way stop I got a transportation stop so the board will find in the packet there's a memo I've written the new four-way stop was official last Monday the 24th and this is the four-way stop at North Williston Road Governor Chittin Road and Mountain View Road this was the ordinance of the board amended in July this is when the 60-day effective date went into effect starting that next morning we received some feedback from folks I think 11 individuals and all through phone calls a couple drop-ins to the clerk's office and some emails you received these were a combination I'd say probably more than half were commuters going through that route just voicing some issues they wanted to raise to make the board a prize so I've summarized those in this memo I'll just run through them quickly commute times were longer than they were accustomed to I know some wait times were 10 to 20 minutes as I was told that initial day since then I've I've heard those have decreased Bruce has been monitoring the situation out there to see if there's long queuing taking place I'll say since last Wednesday or Thursday my phone hasn't rung I haven't seen any additional emails on this topic so we received kind of that wave the first couple days but since then I haven't heard anything else another piece concerned with part of the backup was on going up the hill from North Wilson Road through the hollow there so there were some concerns raised about winter travel if there was a backup there it's a snowy icy day talked to public works they'll treat that road like any other road that are aware that's an issue spot as it is with the shade with the trees coming through it's not a lot of sunlight that gets in at times I don't think the backup has gone quite that far the last few days but I guess it's hard to say exactly what that will look like moving forward some people shared feedback that they would like to see a roundabout there or a traffic signal the change made the intersection worse there was a near miss with someone coming through so Wilson PD I learned them to that they're going to be patrolling it especially during those peak times when there's more people being accustomed to the rules before we stop there there were some some folks asked for that and some more signage and then when I checked with public works it was already out there after the install was the other feedback I received also share the board today the complete comments from folks on this this memo is a summary to bring out the light here we are creatures of habit and we tend to not alter our times we leave house to get through the traffic and you'd be amazed what five minutes we'll do either one's either one's or one's that's totally understandable I know I'd be in the same situation if it was me who was being held up on the other side the one thing I will add as you guys know I consider that my intersection and it is a heck of a lot safer to get through that intersection now than it was my personal opinion when I made the left turn to go to Chapman Lane I thought it was just like heaven you know just wow I don't have to worry about getting swiped or rushing out there into the traffic so I thought it worked but that wasn't rush hour either so I expect the people coming to that intersection where the stop sign has always been will like it during rush hour as well because now the minimal traffic that's going by won't hold up a very big long line of traffic it'll be more you know meter hopefully your phone won't rain much anymore we'll continue to monitor it you said a dozen calls yeah I think some of those are probably more than half were emails I think I spoke to maybe two or three people on the phone I just asked staff to direct any calls to me to have one point of contact about those just you know I had planned this we had a town on this half I didn't get any other calls I did get an email forwarded to Eric any other questions for Eric okay I had a couple items to touch on that that weren't actually at my written report I just learned today that we have scheduled the closing for the solar panels that are behind that's scheduled for this Friday so we will own them as Friday we'll have to make sure all the water bills are painted on that that'd be a good idea and I finally have arranged for a facilitator for the October 23rd staff or select board retreat Cindy Cook is the facilitator some of you may recall she did a lot of work when we were going through the CIRC alternatives process yes okay so she's agreed she may be contacting some of you just to get a better sense of your feelings on how the process should work as far as setting goals and objectives but I don't know if she'd contact or if she might not contact anyone but in any case I will be giving her all of your names so if she chooses to do that then that may happen and they have the retreat again? it's the 23rd of October Tuesday and it'll be starting it's five yes and dinner will be provided we'll have a dinner menu probably next week or so so that's it for my I will have a formal written report the conference I attended and actually I already had it drafted but I just got it done but it was a good conference great attendance I think it was the third highest attended conference in 104 years they've been holding them and I have a lot more to report in my report so I'll present that to the board the next board meeting thank you we have other business we do have a catering permit and two special events permits the requested so catering permit first this is for an event scheduled for October 6th 2 to 8 p.m. and it's a wedding then it'll be held at the I think it's referred to as the red barn which is down they've held a number of events in the past they have plenty of parking on site we've not had any complaints so staff has no objections caterer's name is Vermont Farms catering questions and motion would be considered so moved discussion on the motion if not all those in favor of the motion say aye opposed and special events we have two special events at the same place same day same time the date is October 19th the place is Lenny's Essex Roads Business and they are having I guess a big sale or something and one of the special event permatees that's requesting a permit is How You're Brewing Company and they I guess they produce beer ginger beer so it's How You're Brewing Company for October 19th and the time is roughly 4 4.30 to 8.30 or 9 questions so this is at Lenny's yes I'm a little confused about the concept I'm sorry I want to make sure I understand what we're approving before they do a tasting as a promotion for their company and Lenny's I guess does it as a promotion for their sale they have like tiny cups would it be indoors outdoors indoors so we'll have good control of shop and sip kind of thing or sip and shop kind of thing small sip I'm getting the concept now I can see where it could be ahead so you've taken a good look at it and don't have concerns there's been similar type of events in other places not at Lenny's okay and I know the garden center they've had wine type things there and what makes me comfortable is they used to have a cafeteria or food there and they have a very enclosed space and I guess Lenny's is enclosed too so okay any questions further questions if not a motion would be in order so moved discussion on the motion although some favor the motion say aye aye be opposed whether last one same time same place same location but different company this is White Mountain Distillery doing business as Stowe Cider and so they have a different product and so they they plan to do the small sampling again there's a promotion for their product and you said at the same place the same time I guess Lenny's is promoting I guess Lenny's is promoting Lenny's is promoting this is the boots and beer of that although this isn't beer this is Cider any questions for Rick on that if not a motion would be in order so moved is there a discussion on the motion all those in favor of the motion say aye aye be opposed any other business that we need to talk about tonight just real quickly Rick is there an update on fund raising close to closing I haven't heard anything I think I mentioned my report I did sign the purchase agreement as authorized by the board but whenever I ask Kate the question she said well she's still working towards the end of this calendar year before the end of this calendar year she did say what was the other thing oh well that $200,000 grant that we talked about and she and Melinda I know have had a conversation over last week or so because the application period is coming up soon so that process is getting underway but I don't know about the fund raising I know there's some issues concerning the praisels that they have to meet the federal standards and they've been working through that too so that's part of it thank you hearing none going once going twice we're adjourned it didn't have to be a record but it was a good job tonight well we started early though yeah


What's up, Navigation Traders? I want to go over a trading strategy that we used, in this case, on XLV. So, XLV is the healthcare ETF, and you can see it's followed the market fairly well with the huge down move, and we're kind of bouncing around. And so we ended up having a couple different iron condors on in XLV. So this one came down, moved through our breakeven, so we closed out the untested side like we always do, and then we had another iron condor where we closed out the untested side when price breached through this side, through the upside. Now prices come all the way back down into our range with this recent move down in price right here the last couple of days, and so now we're at a point where we can take this off and book a profit in one of those iron condors so we can take off our call vertical spread and book a profit in that iron condor. So let's do that first. So what we're going to do is we're going to highlight the trade, create closing orders. We want to buy the one with five contracts back, which in this case is the, just to confirm is the, we're going to buy back the 85 call, and we're going to sell out the 88 call. So we're going to buy back the 85 call, sell out the 88 call, as you see there. Probably be able to do this for about, let's try 54 cents, so hit confirm and send. And we got filled, actually ended up getting filled at 46, so we've got price improved quite a bit. So now we're out of that one. So now we've got this, this losing piece of the other one on. This is in March, which has 15 days to expiration. So what we want to do to collect more credit and give ourselves, you know, additional credit, give ourselves more time to be right is we want to add on another iron condor. In this case, the next cycle out with 50 days left is the April cycle. So if we open up that trade tab and we enter an iron condor, we want to do this because, because it's only an $83, $84 symbol, we need to be a little bit closer to the money. We don't want to go all the way down to the 20 delta, but let's try the 29 and see what that looks like. So if we right click on the 29 delta, sell iron condor, and then we'll adjust the strikes here in a minute, but just let's, let's just do it three points wide. So we'll click on the 89. So we are selling the 86 call, buying the 89 for protection. Then if we go over on the put side, look at about the same delta, the 29. So that'd be the 80 put. So we'll sell the 80 and we will buy three strikes lower. So that'd be the 77. And let's just take this over to the analyze tab and see if this is what we want to do. So let's uncheck our current position and take a look. So as you can see, it's a bit of a tight iron condor where we've got a max profit of $110, max capital usage of 190. So that's a good risk-reward ratio. If we set our slices to break even 421, let's move this to 421 as well to make sure we're getting an accurate reading. So a little over 45% if we've held it all the way to expiration, which obviously we do not. We manage our trades early. And so what this is going to do, it's going to recenter around the current price. It's going to take advantage of this high implied volatility. We've got IV percentile and the 97th percentile. So the options are nice and expensive, good time to sell. And we're going to add that credit so we can continue to manage that. Now our other piece, like I said, it's in a losing position. So if we get a little bit of a bounce back to the upside between now and the end of the March cycle, which we still have 15 days left, then we'll go ahead and book that one. We'll still keep this one on because we've got another 50 days to expiration and give ourselves more time to be right. So if we kick this up a few contracts to kind of mirror the other one. So at four contracts, now we've got a max profit of 440 with capital usage of $760. So that's what we like to do with this type of trade, continually add credits, reposition and continually book those profits until we make the profit that we're looking for.
