[00:00:03] to do it
[00:00:05] share but can you tell him
[00:00:07] to get that conversation going and maybe
[00:00:09] we can hold on this
[00:00:10] um until we have that conversation with
[00:00:12] Donnie

[00:03:46] bills and he does yeah
[00:03:49] so um bill I'll recognize you in one
[00:03:51] second let me just um so in the last um
[00:03:54] couple weeks we've had some significant
[00:03:56] weather events and
[00:03:59] um just a shout out to our Highway group
[00:04:01] again who continues to be understaffed
[00:04:04] but
[00:04:06] um tries to make the roads as safe as
[00:04:08] they possibly can for all of us so
[00:04:11] I know Marty's not
[00:04:15] please be kind to them because they work
[00:04:17] very hard with very little
[00:04:19] um and although it may not be perfect or
[00:04:21] what you would completely want to see
[00:04:24] um we're doing a lot with a little so
[00:04:27] they deserve some recognition
[00:04:29] Bill did you want to say something
[00:04:33] am I um hearable am I
[00:04:36] you are
[00:04:42] the camp
[00:04:43] and I'm in the middle of a lot of that
[00:04:45] with the land trust Cynthia is out of
[00:04:47] town
[00:04:48] sorry to be tuning in after the fact
[00:04:51] that I wouldn't have even thought to
[00:04:53] have tuned in
[00:04:55] um I'm assuming maybe this was about a
[00:04:57] letter from the division which they sent
[00:04:59] to both towns
[00:05:01] notifying that they have interest in uh
[00:05:04] eventually owning the property is that
[00:05:06] what this discussion
[00:05:08] it is and we just received the letter
[00:05:10] today bill that's why it wasn't on the
[00:05:12] agenda we've pushed okay did it touch
[00:05:14] into a future meeting April 3rd or April
[00:05:16] 10th once we get some more information
[00:05:18] okay yeah just to let you guys know
[00:05:21] quickly
[00:05:23] um the land trust will be purchasing
[00:05:25] that property
[00:05:27] um
[00:05:28] I think it's by the end of this week
[00:05:31] and
[00:05:32] um with the intent of
[00:05:35] hosting it for a few months and getting
[00:05:37] it into division ownership
[00:05:40] as part of the Muddy Brook Wildlife
[00:05:41] Management Area
[00:05:43] and as part of that the the land trust
[00:05:46] has agreed to be responsible for taking
[00:05:48] the buildings down which are half
[00:05:50] falling down anyway in a hazard
[00:05:54] um
[00:05:54] so at the next meeting if you want we
[00:05:57] can report on the progress and answer
[00:06:00] questions if that helps
[00:06:03] I can tell you that the where book The
[00:06:06] where Board of Selectmen voted last week
[00:06:09] support
[00:06:11] it's useful at all
[00:06:15] it is useful
[00:06:17] Oregon resident Nicole let's get this on
[00:06:20] our April 3rd meeting just to move this
[00:06:23] forward a little bit since Ware's
[00:06:25] already taken a vote on it and since
[00:06:26] it's already happening
[00:06:28] because the land trust is involved I am
[00:06:30] going to have to look at my
[00:06:33] involvement on voting on this because
[00:06:36] I'm on the finance committee for the
[00:06:38] land trust for full disclosure I don't
[00:06:41] I'm not involved with board and my the
[00:06:44] finance committee is advisory only but
[00:06:46] I'll have to get some legal sort of
[00:06:49] um
[00:06:50] advice on voting on this particular item
[00:06:54] and we'll probably Kelly for you as well
[00:06:58] for us to be sure
[00:07:00] we're clear on going on the letter of
[00:07:02] support
[00:07:04] I won't vote on a letter of support
[00:07:07] okay
[00:07:08] because of you know my husband works for
[00:07:10] that sorry okay I feel like that's the
[00:07:14] right thing to do agreed so um let me
[00:07:17] get some direction for my voting on it
[00:07:19] just to be sure that
[00:07:21] um we can actually do this appropriately
[00:07:23] and I'll do that for our next meeting
[00:07:26] and I don't know if a letter of support
[00:07:29] is required I don't know how their
[00:07:31] letter is worded it's more or less a
[00:07:33] notification to the town
[00:07:36] um they look for a letter a support bill
[00:07:38] but it wouldn't happen regardless of
[00:07:41] you know it would probably happen
[00:07:43] regardless
[00:07:45] but obviously they want they want the
[00:07:47] support
[00:07:48] yeah the ultimate intent of both
[00:07:50] agencies to preserve this land as public
[00:07:53] land
[00:07:55] um you know in perpetuity
[00:08:01] anyway sorry to interrupt I just heard
[00:08:03] that you were discussing it and I wasn't
[00:08:04] sure if I could be useful or not
[00:08:07] that's been very helpful and um thank
[00:08:09] you and again we just um I'm not sure
[00:08:11] how Ware has voted on already done their
[00:08:13] emotional support when we just got this
[00:08:16] letter today date of March
[00:08:21] but more to come and it will be on the
[00:08:24] agenda so that everyone is the intent
[00:08:26] was just to bring it up tonight and just
