carrie. 137 00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:45.870 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: Can you. 138 00:18:46.050 --> 00:18:48.750 Chris Juliano Councilmember: Can you just explain to everyone out there with your teeth. 139 00:18:49.410 --> 00:18:55.530 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: juneteenth is a commemoration of the end of slavery basically. 140 00:18:56.700 --> 00:19:06.000 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: Abraham Lincoln had the emancipation proclamation but the last enslaved people didn't find out about it until about June 19. 141 00:19:06.630 --> 00:19:23.820 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: which was, I believe months later in Texas, and so it's um it was made a holiday i'm sorry it was made a holiday by the Federal Government in June of last year and by New York State actually in October of 2020 so that's what it commemorates. 142 00:19:26.550 --> 00:19:29.280 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: Are there any other items under new business. 143 00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:30.750 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: Yes. 144 00:19:30.930 --> 00:19:36.000 Katherine Mustello: There are my first is just a simple question you're going to regret sending me to two days of training. 145 00:19:37.590 --> 00:19:42.390 Katherine Mustello: Our insurance, I understand is through one of the organizations that presented at the. 146 00:19:43.470 --> 00:19:49.440 Katherine Mustello: The two days of training timer when was the last time, the town shop their insurance or put it out to bed. 147 00:19:52.650 --> 00:19:53.400 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: I don't know the answer. 148 00:19:54.930 --> 00:19:55.470 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: But. 149 00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:56.310 Katherine Mustello: We can look into me. 150 00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:57.990 Katherine Mustello: you've been around a long time. 151 00:19:58.950 --> 00:20:00.390 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: For years i've been on the board so. 152 00:20:01.560 --> 00:20:03.030 Katherine Mustello: I was thinking it might be time. 153 00:20:03.420 --> 00:20:03.990 Okay. 154 00:20:05.550 --> 00:20:07.500 Fred Shequine: I know a little bit about this MIC. 155 00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:10.200 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: Fred okay. 156 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:11.970 Fred Shequine: i'm. 157 00:20:13.110 --> 00:20:20.220 Fred Shequine: Ray would he signed up for this insurance through a brokerage on long island called Salerno insurance. 158 00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:31.200 Fred Shequine: And they they look at all the ways that a municipality can get I only know the cyber insurance part of it, my understanding is. 159 00:20:31.950 --> 00:20:39.480 Fred Shequine: That, if you went to a regular insurance company to get cybersecurity insurance, it would probably cost you three to $5,000 per year. 160 00:20:39.780 --> 00:20:48.060 Fred Shequine: And namer offers their cyber security insurance to you only to municipalities in the State of New York for approximately 1500 a year. 161 00:20:48.960 --> 00:21:04.650 Fred Shequine: So the whole idea of namer was to reduce the costs by banding everybody together and it's not designed to be this big profit making thing per se, and so the rates are significantly Ray checks with his. 162 00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:16.260 Fred Shequine: Sales agent at Salerno every year to make sure that the name or insurance is still the most favorable for the town, but there's never any documentation of it that I know so. 163 00:21:16.800 --> 00:21:26.580 Fred Shequine: I think just calling the Salerno brokerage and having them verified that these are your alternatives and you see the prices from the different insurance carriers that will probably sell your concerns. 164 00:21:27.540 --> 00:21:31.290 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: Thank you Fred and I haven't now on my list of things to call tomorrow. 165 00:21:32.760 --> 00:21:42.240 Katherine Mustello: Look there's your first upside to a zoom meeting friend knew the answer i'm the other two, and these are just thoughts I wanted to throw out there for everybody, think about. 166 00:21:43.350 --> 00:21:53.400 Katherine Mustello: i'm wondering if with the arpa funds because it's about definitely records and data management are covered, perhaps appeal system. 167 00:21:55.500 --> 00:22:04.620 Katherine Mustello: You know the warrants that's a lot of work and a lot of paper, and while the PA system would probably still require some paper, it might streamline it a bit. 168 00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:20.850 Katherine Mustello: And it would still be multiple levels of approval, for example the one they use at the school it gets approved by the building principal and then it has to get approved by the district office so there's you know it's still very controlled situation that was one thought. 169 00:22:22.080 --> 00:22:22.530 Katherine Mustello: um. 170 00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:26.340 Katherine Mustello: Now. 171 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:29.820 Katherine Mustello: I don't remember my second thought. 172 00:22:31.860 --> 00:22:32.970 Katherine Mustello: So I just didn't get it on my. 173 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:34.380 Katherine Mustello: Second, going to be. 174 00:22:35.610 --> 00:22:38.280 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: back after a near the end of the meeting, if you can. 175 00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:40.020 Katherine Mustello: awesome Thank you. 176 00:22:40.290 --> 00:22:55.260 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: yeah moving on to resignations and appointments I make a motion to approve appointing brandon Campbell as part time cable TV operator at a rate of pay of $18 per hour effective January 11 2022 can I get a second. 177 00:22:55.800 --> 00:22:56.250 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: That could. 178 00:22:57.540 --> 00:23:05.040 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: Just as a discussion brandon has been trained by our current TV operator Jerry and he's been taking on more and more responsibilities. 179 00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:07.050 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: And so. 180 00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:11.340 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: As he's been doing meetings on his own now without Jerry

Mustello: and make a motion to appoint Chris mariska TIM lawyer travis later care Martin and vicki hicks a seasonal wingman effective January 11 2022 at a rate of pay a 1530 per hour. 185 00:23:37.350

201 00:25:17.490 --> 00:25:31.320 Katherine Mustello: One is I wondered if the Opera funds also could be used for either tablets or laptops for us so that we could have a little less paper, it might also fit with the climate smart of all those so may dovetail nicely. 202 00:25:32.310 --> 00:25:32.970 Chris Juliano Councilmember: So I think. 203 00:25:33.030 --> 00:25:34.680 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: Definitely in discussion we've been having. 204 00:25:35.010 --> 00:25:42.120 Chris Juliano Councilmember: yeah Mike and I had this discussion also so you know this definitely would be a possibility for that, I think, would eliminate a lot of paper. 205 00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:51.510 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: enable me to get our phone the next on the next agenda and we'll try and sort out the new ideas that we had yeah well how we're going to spend the money moving forward. 206 00:25:52.860 --> 00:25:55.230 Katherine Mustello: And just a question do. 207 00:25:56.610 --> 00:25:58.800 Katherine Mustello: It may be a timing thing because this meeting. 208 00:25:59.850 --> 00:26:05.220 Katherine Mustello: early January, do we do you do we get profit and loss statements

Supervisor: But we don't we don't have it, this month. 211 00:26:11.550 --> 00:26:19.140 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: When we finish out a year, then norsemen and houlahan has to do the add documents so until they settle all the books, then we get that. 212 00:26:20.010 --> 00:26:39.000 Michael Whitton, Town Supervisor: Now we did extend the Ad for another 60 days tonight, but i've heard rumor that ours might get done by the end of January this year they're trying to do it faster than normal so we may have the end by the end of January and we'll start supervisors reports again in the coming months. 213 00:26:39.750 --> 00:26:41.940 Katherine Mustello: Okay, great I had a feeling, it was just a timing issue. 214 00:26:42.270 --> 00:26:42.720 yeah. 215 00:26:44.010 --> 00:26:51.480
