Thank you. All right, we will call the Board of Selectman meeting, regular meeting on December 16th, 2025 to order at 631. This was our regular meeting postponed from last week of uh December 9th. So pretty much the same agenda. We did add a few things. Um Secretary's report. Did you both have a chance to review minutes from regular meetings of 1028 and November 25th? I reviewed them. I'm make a motion to approve October 28, 25, and November 25, 2025. Second. Second. Okay, a little discussion. Uh somebody did point out that on number two, um November 25th. Um number two meeting on our agenda, sorry, but it's number 10 D. It should be in that elevate, it should be alleviate. It was the drainage issue for the school. So we'll just make that one correction of uh and I did also notice John Winthrop was spelled J-O-M, so you have to add the HP but little things like that, but otherwise, uh, so that's great. So all in favor? All right. First time or wonderful. Awesome. Yeah, audience of citizens. We don't have anyone joining us. We have a few online. I see uh two folks. Anybody online want to address the board? No, thank you. Thank you. Okay, so uh Cassie, we have two online. That's okay. Sorry about that. Uh appointments. So we have uh Brittany Ray, uh also known as Brittany Ray Gagnan, so I have to clarify her name. Um she's that was just a question the town clerk had. She's a registered voter, so she but we didn't know if she was going by Brittany Ray, because her email came that way, but her uh voter registration is uh Brittany Ray Gagner. So we'll have to just clarify that. But she wrote a nice letter uh interested in joining both the Deep River Sustainable Committee, which she has been basically a pretty active non-member for about three or four months now, um, helping with the thin plastic collection and all that. She'd also like to be on the transfer station committee. Um, so I don't know if you want to take all the appointments together, but then Sarah Makowicki, we had voted to move her forward for planning and zoning. Um and then somebody resigned from that board, so now we have a term um to expire 12-1 2027. So we had approved her to be uh at the town meeting tomorrow night uh for 12 12 1 2026. Um so we'd like to just extend that one more year because she's very qualified and that way while we have a brave volunteer, we might as well kind of commit them a little longer. So she she can't change her mind in the year. I think it's a good idea, but can can we do that though? Yes, we can do it. Yep, town meetings already been no we put this in the town meeting anticipating that this would get passed tonight. If not, then the town clerk told me tomorrow night we could just um change the term of that because again I had already been voted on at that after the meeting or November meeting. So sorry. No, I have a chance to speak with Brittany. I asked her uh I don't know how she's gonna have time, raising six boys in a business, but uh very uh energetic young lady.
