A
No
council
prayer,
we
pray
for
our
country
at
all
times
that
all
citizens
are
safe,
healthy
and
happy.
We
pray
for
the
wisdom
for
those
who
guide
and
govern
help
this
government
body
in
every
situation
to
know
and
to
do
things
that
are
right
and
just
with
soundness
of
judgment
in
making
vital
decisions.
A
B
A
In
light
of
the
situation
with
the
virus
and
anxiousness
of
everybody
in
dealing
with
it,
that's
a
very
appropriate
prayer
and
never
hurts
pray
to
God
number
three
Pledge
of
Allegiance
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
United
States
of
America
and
to
the
Republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation
under
God
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
A
As
a
council,
we
considered
having
and
not
having
this
public
meeting
and
it
was
decided
to
have
the
meeting
and
try
to
keep
things
as
normal
as
we
possibly
can.
But
we've
closed
the
meeting
to
the
public.
The
stipulation
was
that
both
the
sound
and
the
video
would
be
working
haven't
heard
a
thing
from
anybody.
Yet
so
we're
going
to
assume
everything
is
working
and
the
people
can
hear
it
was
asked.
If
anyone
had
any
comments,
they
could
write
them
down
and
we
would
read
them
during
the
public
forum
part.
C
C
Thank
you
for
talking
with
me
today
about
the
current
pandemic
and
all
we
are
facing
since
I'm.
Also
a
citizens,
a
citizen
of
caribou,
I'm
concerned
and
I
want
to
bring
the
attention
to
the
council
and
the
seriousness
of
our
situation,
while
we're
all
still
collectively
learning
about
this
koban
19,
as
it's
called
the
one
thing
we
should
all
agree
on,
is
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
something
now
before
it
hits
our
area.
Hard
social
distancing
needs
to
be
a
minimum
practice.
We
can
undo
better
than
that.
C
We
can
discourage
meetings
and
gatherings
and
decide
to
heed
the
warnings
of
the
maine
c-d-c.
We
can
and
should
be
limiting
traffic
to
our
city
offices
as
well
as
all
city
buildings.
While
we
still
provide
services
to
our
citizens,
things
are
different.
I'll
likely
be
that
way
for
quite
a
while.
We
need
to
take
advantage
of
the
time
we
have
to
prepare
and
change
the
way
we
do
things
now,
so
it
could
be
less
severe
to
the
public.
This
includes
all
the
city,
employees
that
we
can
take
information
home
and
share
it
with
their
families.
C
Please
take
this
virus
seriously
and
take
whatever
protective
measures
you
can
now
and
share
as
much
as
you
can
with
the
city
employees
and
get
the
word
out
in
town
chief
Gahagan
is
your
local
EMA
director
is
getting
information
from
us
now,
but
I'll
also
offer
to
provide
you
with
any
additional
information
we
can
you
just
have
to.
Let
us
know
what
you
want
in
my
office
will
do
its
best
to
accommodate
you.
Thanks
for
listening,
you
can
get
more
specific
information
on
our
website
at
Aroostook,

D
D
Please
put
your
monthly
payments
in
the
mail
versus
dropping
the
payment
off.
Please
put
a
stamp
on
it
and
put
it
in
the
mail
and
we
can
process
it
that
way.
We
have
so
many
that,
like
to
drop
them
off
number
two,
the
June,
9th
primary
election.
It's
not
too
early
to
request
an
absentee
you're
not
going
to
get
the
absentee
ballot
now.
But
it's
not
too
early
to
put
your
request
in
I
actually
had
six
come
to
the
office
today
through
electronic
service
that
the
state
provides.
D
You
can
call,
you
have
to
actually
speak
to
a
human
being
in
the
clerk's
office.
If
we
don't
answer,
we'll
call
you
back
and
we
fill
out
the
application
right,
then
you
can
go
to
the
state
of
Maine
select
Roenick
request
service,
and
that
is
a
link
is
available
on
the
city's
website
and
it
is
also,
if
you
just
google
Secretary
of
State's
electronic
absentee
ballot.
We
also
have
the
forms
available
on
the
clerk's
pages
under
Elections
June
of
2020
and
I
am
preparing
that
we
could
do
all
ballots
if
necessary.
D
I
just
want
to
get
started
with
the
process,
but
that's
my
my
goal
is
to
have
as
many
possible
make
this
available
and
people
aware
that
we
are
taking
those
applications
right
now.
Three
I
have
a
comment
to
make
on
the
pandemic
leave
policy
that
is
on
tonight's
agenda
and
that
one
is
just
one
mine
and
I
would
say
that
the
comment
I
have
is
the
traveling
for
a
family.
D
Emergency
should
not
be
considered
as
traveling
voluntarily,
and
there
is
a
section
on
there
about
traveling
voluntarily
and
our
family
emergency
should
not
and
I'm
going
to
give
that
to
in
writing.
So
you
can
remember
that,
as
it's
discussed
later
in
the
meeting,
let
me
give
you
two,
for
instance,
and
neither
one
of
them
are
me
personally,
a
person
whose
child
is
been
in
school
in
the
Portland
area,
that
child
has
been
living
in
an
apartment,
but
was
home
for
break.
They
need
to
clean
out
that
Charles
apartment
and
bring
those
items
home.
D
That's
traveling
to
Portland
your
child
is
downstate,
and
someone
has
an
accident
with
their
vehicle
that
child
has
to
be
brought
back
it's
in
a
grown
child,
but
that
child
needs
be
brought
back
to
a
rustic
County,
because
their
car
was
involved
in
an
accident
downstate,
so
traveling
for
a
family
emergency
should
not
be
considered
as
traveling
voluntarily.
If
I
had
a
family,
emergency
and
I
text,
my
boss,
in
the
middle
of
the
night
I,
might
leave
Aroostook
County
before
I
heard
back
from
him,
and
that
could
happen.
We
have
family
all
across
the
state.
D
E
A
New
rule,
unless
you're
willing
to
give
us
your
name,
your
comments,
don't
count.
E
E
A
F
Others,
do
you
mind
if
I
make
a
comment
about
that,
because
this
is
comes
under
the
rule
of
no
more
than
10
people
gathering
in
one
area?
So
it's
not
quite
the
same
as
if
something
is
open
and
they
come
and
go
and
there's
not
ten.
We
can't
we
had
to
limit
this
meeting
to
ten
people
and
that's
why
it's
closed
to
the
public.
B
A
B
E
E
The
overall
expenses
you'll
see
that
the
budget
report
still
shows
zero
and
the
budget
net
column.
That
again,
is
because
we're
waiting
to
get
the
revenue
budget
approved
so
that
we
can
put
that
into
the
budgeting
software.
The
the
total
for
through
the
month
of
February
you'll
see
is
that
we
spend
one
point:
five,
seven:
five
million
dollars
total,
which
is
about
fourteen
point.
Eight
percent
of
the
council's
approved
expense
budget
for
the
year
and
we
are
at
sixteen
point,
seven
percent
through
the
year
with
this
report.
E
So
we
are
trending
under
our
expense
budget
for
the
year.
So
far,
most
of
the
expenses
to
date
have
been
primarily
wages
and
benefit.
Expenses
have
been
the
major
items
with
the
exception
in
Public
Works,
where
they've
spent
sixty
two
thousand
on
salt
and
calcium
for
snow
removal
efforts
well
in
page
13
of
the
packet.
E
Based
on
the
managers
projections,
which
is
on
the
agenda
later
tonight,
that's
roughly
six
and
a
half
percent
of
the
projected
revenues.
This
is
not
uncommon
in
that
most
of
our
revenues
come
in
after
commitment
when
we
we
drop
the
commitment
on
the
books.
So
are
there
any
specific
questions
about
to
find
anymore
February.
E
You
have
in
your
packet
tonight
recommendations
from
our
public
works
director
for
imposing
weight
limits
on
local
roads.
This
is
primarily
to
try
to
reduce
the
impacts
to
these
roads
on
for
heavy
loads
during
the
fall
season.
We
do
institute
these
every
year
about
this
time
so
that
we
can
try
to
limit
the
damage
to
our
local
roads.
I
do
have
on
the
screen
and
this
is
being
broadcast
now
through
the
cables
so
that
people
can
see
it.
E
There
are
some
questions
as
to
why
it
would
be
closing
plant
Road
in
the
West
Gate,
Road
and
soya
Road
and
from
our
side
our
roads
are
built
to
a
little
bit
higher
standard
than
some
of
the
surrounding
communities,
and
so
it
would
necessarily
be
a
problem
on
us
directly.
But
where
are
the
adjacent
communities
are
closing
those
roads?
It
allows
us
to
prevent
somebody
from
getting
down
along
that
road
and
having
to
try
to
find
a
place
to
turn
around
with
heavy
trucks.
E
A
A
E
Councilors
as
we
look
at
the
ripple
effect,
that's
occurring
around
the
country
with
the
federal
ethics
that
are
being
handed
down
and
the
state
mandates
that
are
being
given
to
us.
You
know
something
as
simple
as
needing
to
have
greater
separation
in
gatherings
like
we
have
tonight.
We
recognize
that
there
are
even
greater
implications
on
an
economic
scale
where
we
have
restaurants
that
are
being
told,
don't
allow
people
to
be
inside
only
do
deliveries
through
the
windows
or
pickup,
and
some
businesses
now
are
in
some
communities
are
being
told.
E
E
The
Small
Business
Administration
has
created
or
they're
opening
their
doors,
a
little
wider
to
small
businesses
to
come
and
get
very
low
interest,
loans,
kind
of
bridge
gap,
loans
and
as
a
city
of
caribou,
we
have
a
revolving
loan
fund,
which
right
now
has
close
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
it,
and
it
may
be
an
opportunity
if
the
city
wanted
to
get
into
a
similar
set
up
a
process
of
people
applying
for
loans.
We
might
be
able
to
also
facilitate
some
business
development.
E
B
E
May
be
able
to
utilize
some
of
these
funds
to
help
businesses
get
over
the
hump
for
a
period
of
time,
but
we
wanted
to
just
bring
this
discussion
to
you
tonight
and
see
what
the
thoughts
were
and
we've
we've
looked
at
some
other
communities
that
have
small
business
loans
they're,
not
necessarily
specifically
for
pandemic
bridging,
but
some
communities
do
have
maximum
$15,000
loans.
Interest
rates
set
near
prime,
it's
I,
guess
a
question
of,
and.
B
E
A
A
The
comments
that
were
that
I
made
and
other
councillors
made
is
that
that
this
is
something
beyond
our
control
as
a
council,
this
is
something
that
is
going
to
be.
Advice
is
going
to
be
given
to
us
whether
it's
dealing
with
meetings
you
listen
to
the
governor,
you
listen
to
Darren
woods,
you
listen
to
the
police
chief,
you
listen
to
our
president
and
we
follow
that
as
a
guide.
A
We're
gonna
run
into
an
economic
wall
here,
bummer
that
we
don't
even
grasp
yet
and
I.
Guess
I
put
this
item
in
the
agenda
where
we're
hoping
that
the
City
Council
will
direct
and
give
permission
to
the
city
and
management
to
keep
reviewing
what
the
president
and
what
the
Congress
and
what
our
governor,
what
county?
A
A
We're
all
going
to
work
through
it
to
the
best
of
our
ability,
and
so
just
keep
us
informed
on
us.
Have
the
staff
keep
us
informed,
but
when
you
talk
to
your
colleagues
and
other
communities
and
other
towns-
and
you
talk
to
the
MMA,
this
is
the
time
when
we're
going
to
start
understanding
what
programs
are
there
and
who
they're
offering
them
to
and
for
what
purpose?
And
this
is
a
vehicle.
A
The
council
will
be
the
vehicle
from
which
we
can
transmit
this,
and
it
almost
ought
to
be
an
agenda
item
from
here
on
out
that
what
do
you
know
now?
Type
deal
and
I
know
it's
just
the
start,
and
if
Congress
can
get
their
act
together
in
Washington
and
we
can
interpret
it
he'll
be
better
about
we're
in
for
a
little
struggle,
we're
in
for
a
big
struggle,
but
we're
gonna
stay
positive
and
yep.
C
C
G
Would
agree,
but
you
know
we
should
have
review
it.
We
don't
want
to
lose
a
business.
We
can't
afford
to
lose
a
business,
especially
over
something
as
as
wild
as
this
far-fetched
at
times
to
drive
them
out
of
business.
Just
looking
at
what
was
written.
Of
course,
there's
a
lot
of
work
got
to
be
done.
It's
a
groundbreaking
comment
paragraph,
but
to
set
something
up,
the
council
would
definitely
have
to
have
some
workshops
if
we
were
to
go
down
that
room
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
lose
the
precious
feel
that
we've
got.
E
G
E
B
E
Much
annually
we
would
have
to
provide,
but
still
there's,
there's
concern
generally
as
to
how
we
are
treating
individuals
in
the
face
of
this
pandemic
and
we've
taken
the
steps
to
to
draft
a
policy
of
what
we
were
calling
at
the
time
administrative
leave.
At
this
point,
we
would
call
call
it
family
first
coronavirus
response
leave
essentially,
basically
the
leave
that
we
have
anticipated
that
was
in
the
packet
would,
in
the
sense,
follow
the
guidelines
that
we've
been
receiving
from
the
federal
act.
That's
occurred
as
a
leave
policy.
E
It
has
to
come
to
you
as
a
city
council
for
review
and
consideration
and
before
it
can
be
adopted
or
approve.
It
has
to
be
done
by
ordinance,
which
means
there
still
has
to
be
a
public
hearing
and
further
discussion
on
this.
So
this
is
not
ready
for
to
adopt
and
approve
tonight,
but
to
begin
our
discussions,
and
in
light
of,
as
you
say,
they
are
gone
all
the
things
that
are
being
handed
down
to
us
from
the
different
agencies.
E
E
E
They've
identified
three
individuals
that
have
recovered
in
the
state
of
Maine
that
were
previously
noted
as
having
it,
the
largest
concentration
of
cases.
Right
now,
he
is
down
in
Cumberland
County
in
the
Portland
area,
where
they
indicate
that
there
are
66
cases
as
of
today,
York
County,
just
to
the
south
of
that
has
12
active
cases.
E
Other
communities,
Oxford
Lincoln,
have
five
cases.
Kennebec
four
Knox
has
one
Androscoggin
Saginaw
is
they
have
three
I'm
sorry,
one
in
Knox,
County
Penobscot,
which
is
primarily
the
Bangor
area.
They
have
three
cases,
and
so,
as
we
look
at
the
relief
policy
as
it
was
drafted,
would
anticipate
that
we
would
establish
a
driving
distance
to
say
if
you're
going
to
voluntarily
go
down
and
expose
yourself
to
these
areas
where
we
know
it
exists,
or
we
have
a
flare
up.
E
If
you
will,
then
certain
leave
policies
would
not
apply
to
you
because
you
voluntarily
may
have
expose
yourself
to
those
things.
The
comments
earlier
from
the
clerk
were
well.
If
it
was
a
family
emergency
that
somebody
had
to
go
down
there,
should
that
not
be
taken
into
consideration
and
I.
Guess
that's
up
for
additional
discussion
by
the
council
as
we
review
these
policies
so.
E
The
the
general
policy
has,
as
it's
written
right
now,
has
eight
points
basically
outlining
that
if
somebody's
exposed
or
told
to
go
home,
they
would
be
put
on
again
what
this
draft
is
saying:
administrative
leave,
but
in
light
of
the
new
FMLA
guidelines
from
the
president,
we
would
probably
tweak
the
language
so
that
we
we
know
where
we're
matching
both
acts
or
both
policies.
So
we
don't
run
into
additional
overlaps.
H
I
reviewed
that
policy
as
well
and
I
just
had
I'm
sure
there'll
be
more
guidance
that
comes
through
about
how
to
verify
those
items
like
it's
not
going
to
be
a
doctor's,
not
required.
What
type
of
documentation
would
be
required
to
ensure
that
the
policy
is
fairly
enforced
and
even
in
this
policy
I
know
you've
said
you
know,
areas
not
affected
or
whatever,
but
I
think
it
would
be
important
to
have
more
specifics
in
here,
so
that
it's
not
subjective
or
that
it
misses
the
policy.
H
E
C
B
E
H
G
G
E
H
E
Of
having
a
uniform
policy
but
recognizing
we
only
have
so
many
staff
that
are
out
in
an
ambulance
and
we
have
to.
We
have
to
take
care
of
them,
but
we
also
have
to
make
sure
we
can
still
make
the
runs
as
necessary.
Now,
with
regards
to
the
EMS
department,
they
they
have
protocols
that
they
already
have
instituted,
and
that
was
one
of
my
reports.
E
I
was
going
to
share
later,
but
when
they
get
a
call
and
somebody's
showing
symptoms,
there's
a
three
level
scale
that
comes
back
to
them
as
far
as
codes
and
depending
on
the
codes
that
they
get
over,
the
phone
they've
been
counting
up
already
with
mass
and
classes
and
additional
protective
gear
when
they
make
these
runs.
So
hopefully,
we've
got
things
in
place
with
them
that
they
would
they
definitely
limited
their
exposure,
but
they're
still
that
possibility.
A
A
E
A
A
A
What
are
you
recommending
that
communities
in
the
state
do
to
adhere
to
this
policy
and
to
have
every
individual
community
try
to
figure
out
their
own
policy
would
seem
like
to
me
a
waste
of
calories,
nothing
wrong
with
a
little
tweaking,
but
to
start
off
with
the
basic
premise
that
lawyers
have
looked
over
and
we're
in
compliance
with
what
the
federal
people
wanted
us
to
do
and
what
the
state
says
we
ought
to
do,
and
it's
one
of
these
deals
where
we're
on
the
council.
But
this
is
really
a
paid
grade.
H
E
E
E
The
other.
The
other
option
would
be
that
the
council
adopts
something
as
an
emergency
ordinance.
We
get
it
in
place.
It
still
has
to
go
through
an
introductory
process
and
adoption,
but
as
an
emergency
situation,
the
council
can
move
more
quickly
on
that
without
having
public
hearings.
The
intent,
though,
is
that
an
emergency
ordinance
is
only
in
place
for
60
days,
hopefully
that
in
that
timeframe,
other
things
get
put
in
place
and
we're
able
to
have
additional
hearings
and
and
have
something
more
thoroughly.
H
I'm
not
like
suggesting
that
we
jumped
or
anything
my
concern
is
that
how
trends
have
been
is
that
if
the
governor
decides
that
it's
only
essential
staff
going
to
work,
then
how
does
that
affect
the
non-essential
staff?
And
if
we
don't
have
a
policy
in
place,
then
what
will
happen
to
them?
So
those
are
the
things
like
30
days
from
now
is
not
realistic.
E
G
It's
pretty
hard
to
pick
a
direction
without
that
key
component.
I'll
visit
dollar
for
dollar
50
cents
on
the
dollar
five
cents
on
the
dollar
mean
we
are
it's
tragic,
I
understand:
we've
got
to
live
within
their
means,
also
of
what
we
can
do
to
me.
It's
critical
that
we
find
out.
What
does
that
mean
that
helps
us
won't
help
me
anyway,
make
a
decision
much
easier.
E
I
should
also
point
out
that
the
budget
right
now
covers
all
of
the
staff
time
for
the
whole
year.
So
really,
when
we
talk
about
what
is
the
city's
loss
in
this?
If
somebody
takes
this
type
of
administrative
leave
or
family
first
leave,
the
loss
of
the
city
is
the
productivity
of
accomplishing
something,
but
from
a
budgetary
standpoint,
we've
already
got
it
in
the
budget.
So
it's
really
not
a
lost
in
that
way.
Yes,
it's
a
benefit.
If
we
can
recoup
some
of
those
costs,
but
as
far
as
a
dollar
loss
blame.
G
G
Yeah,
okay,
I
got
you
right
over
them.
Talk
my
head,
I
got
it,
but
we're
not
getting
productivity,
we're
not
getting
what
we
paid
for
right,
and
that
is
a
loss,
no
matter
how
you
look
at
it
right,
so
that
would
be
a
quarter
in
my
for
me
personally.
That
would
be
something
critical
to
understand
prior
to
jumping
in
and
trying
to
do
something
well.
E
H
F
F
E
Think
that's
why
they
did
this
under
the
Family
Medical
Leave
Act,
because
you
cannot
under
the
Family
Medical
Leave
Act.
You
have
to
hold
their
job
for
them.
You
can't
let
them
go
necessarily
and
bring
them
back,
so
you
have
to
retain
their
job,
retain
their
benefits
for
the
full
funding
ethically
three
of
time,
and
this
additional
lady
hours
for
full-time
employees
is
in
addition
to
the
previous
FMLA
reserve
period
of
time.
E
E
A
E
A
E
A
G
Who
was
it
that
you
contacted
who
sent
this
out?
Who
are
you
dealing
directly
with
that
when
you
ask
the
folks
upstairs
ask
what
the
reimbursement
rate
is?
Are
we
talking
to
the
janitor?
Are
we
talking
to
somebody
that's
up
in
the
top
end,
are
we
getting
shuffled
from
phone
to
phone?
Somebody
ought
to
be
able
to
answer
that
question.
G
E
G
A
E
My
recommendation
at
this
point
is
that
we
reduce
the
potential
revenue
sharing
line
by
another
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
by
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
legislature
last
year
increased
within
their
budget.
The
proportion
those
local
governments
would
get
from
revenue
sharing,
and
so
we
were
anticipating
a
significant
increase
this
year,
upwards
of
a
quarter
million
dollars
for
budgeting
purposes.
I
only
had
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
roughly
added
to
the
budget,
not
knowing
what
was
going
to
happen
with
revenue
sharing,
but
now
what
I'm?
E
Hearing
from
my
other
managers,
who
have
been
in
the
state
a
long
time
is,
we
ought
to
be
looking
at
maybe
at
2007-2008
numbers
as
a
possible
economic
total
for
the
state.
If
we
went
with
that
scenario,
we
probably
would
be
dropping
another
two
hundred
fifty
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
out
of
the
revenue
sharing
right.
Now
we
did
what
I've
recommended
is
we
take
another
hundred
thousand
dollars
out
of
it?
It
gets
us
pretty
close
to
what
we
had
last
year
for
revenue
sharing
and
that's.
A
A
E
Presentation
that
I
gave
you
last
the
council
meeting.
We
had
nine
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
listed
in
the
state
revenue
sharing,
which
can
change
that
down
to
eight
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
That's
40
thousand
dollars
over
what
we
had
last
year
as
far
as
actuals
received
from
the
state,
so
it's
pretty
close
other
than
that.
That
was
the
only
change
that
I
had.
E
B
E
Might
say:
disheartening
conversations
with
the
school
district
over
the
last
week
and
looking
at
their
budget
proposals.
We
already
know
that
the
county
appropriation
request
went
up
by
4.7
percent.
The
City
Council's
approved
budget
required
a
point.
Eight
percent
increase
in
our
total
expense
appropriation.
The
school
district,
which
to
be
fair,
is
in
the
still
in
the
process
of
working
out
their
budget
for
next
year.
They
are
looking
at
possibly
right.
E
600
to
700
thousand
dollars,
so
that's
a
almost
a
almost
a
2
mil
increase
just
because
of
the
school
district.
They
are
still
working
through
their
process.
We
don't
know
how
that's
all
going
to
shake
out
until
the
school
has
their
budget
meeting
and
their
hearings
and
and
the
citizens
vote
on
their
budget
right
now,
if
the
mill
rate
does
go
up
to
accommodate
their
appropriation
request,
that
would
generate
additional
revenues
into
our
revenue
lines,
but
it's
okay
to
have
more
revenue
coming
in.
E
We
just
don't
want
to
over
plan
for
that,
in
our
revenue
lines
and
in
habit
and
not
coming
in
the
way
we
hope
so
right
now,
the
recommendation
is
based
on
the
mill
rate
going
up
as
where
we
had
the
school
district
only
going
up
by
3%
instead
of
what
could
be
15
16
percent
and
culminating
the
the
county
and
the
city's
request
in
the
mill
rate.
So
the
revenue
lines
right
now
have
stayed
the
same
from
what
was
previously
presented.
E
G
G
They
knew
damn
well
that
limestone
was
pulling
out
of
this
mess
up
here
and
they
stomped
their
feet
and
continued
on
to
build
that
school.
They
knew
then
that
they
were
going
to
have
to
come
back
to
the
taxpayer.
I
think
superintendent
ought
to
be
read
here
in
this
council
chamber,
so
we
can
take
the
bark
off
him
to
find
out.
What's
going
on
here.
Is
anybody
paying
attention?
You
say
something
one
year?
Does
anybody
realize
what
they
said
last
year
or
the
year
before
or
six
months
ago?
G
This
is
unacceptable
and
I
can't
see
letting
it
go.
Somebody's
head
should
roll
for
this.
They
said
it
was
gonna
cost
the
taxpayers
just
like
another
boat
anchor
in
town
did
and
we
ended
up
paying
for
that.
One
also
and
just
kicking
their
feet
saying
I
want
it
after
they
knew
as
I
recall,
limestone
was
pulling
out
and
was
a
key
of
a
million
plus
if
I
understand
it
right,
an
operational
revenue
for
that
limestone
pulls
out
and
they
still
kicked
their
feet.
I
want
my
new
school
I
think
he
should
be
right
here.
G
E
Recognize
that
I
understand
that
or
something
and
mr.
dog
has
indicated
that
his
board
is
very
much
aware
of
the
issue-
the
concern
and
they're
going
to
continue
to
work
through
their
budget
process
and
try
to
get
down
as
much
as
they
can
and
even
last
year
the
superintendent
came
in
and
made
presentations
of
the
council.
I'm
sure
he'd
be
willing
to
do
that
again
as
they
as
they
come
down
to
their
final
budget
numbers.
This.
G
Is
just
a
money
pit?
This
is
the
way
I
see
it.
It's
a
money
pit,
it's
been
a
money
pit
and
it's
gonna
continue
if,
in
fact-
and
this
is
if
in
fact
it's
that
much
money
this
year
what's
next
year,
what's
the
shortfall
next
year,
if,
if
I'm
right,
my
numbers
of
the
shortfall
of
limestone
pulling
out
nothing's
to
say
that
we
couldn't
be
faced
with
this
next
year,.
F
One
thing
that
probably
we
have
to
realize
one
thing
on
the
school
budget
is
that
it
goes
to
the
voters
and
the
voters
vote
for
this
year
after
year
after
year.
Now,
what
a
couple
of
years
ago
up
in
Madawaska,
they
finally
said
no
and
I,
think
they
went
back
three
or
four
times
before
they
finally
got
a
budget
that
they
approved
so
I
think
that
it's
not
just
the
superintendent,
but
it's
it's
the
people
who
vote
for
this.
That
maybe
should
there
should
be
more
more
information
going
up.
F
One
thing
is
what
they
don't
do.
Is
they
don't
put
the
dollar
amount?
When
you
go
to
vote
on
the
school
budget,
they
should
have
that
full
dollar
amount
right
there.
That
shows
what
I
don't
know:
18
million
dollars,
or
something
like
that,
so
people
can
actually
see
what
the
dollar
amount
is
that
they're
voting
on
for
this
this
budget
and
have
more
information
out
there.
F
You
have
250
people
in
June,
go
vote
on
the
school
budget
if
you're
lucky
I
was
there
one
time
when
I
work,
the
polls
and
it
was
210,
and
so
you
know
it's
got
to
get
out
there,
that
this
affects
your
tax
rate
and
this
the
municipality
should
not
be
bearing
the
brunt
of
this.
If
this
goes
up
to
Mills,
it
goes
up
to
Mills
on
your
tax
rate,
your
tax
bill,
and
if,
if
they
come
and
they
are
mad,
the
citizens
are
mad
to
say.
Well,
why
didn't
you
vote
on
that?
F
G
Of
it,
too,
is
there
they're
making
I
would
have
shown
their
assessment
when
they
go
to
vote
based
on
the
information
that
has
given
them,
and
if
that
information
is
we're
going
to
hold
hands
and
kiss
and
sing
Kumbaya,
and
it's
not
going
to
cost
anybody
anything
right.
That's
what
they're
going
to
the
polls
with
only
to
come
back
afterwards.
Now
that
we've
got
concrete
in
the
ground,
steel
in
the
air,
roofs
and
siding
on
to
pull
a
stunt
like
this,
that's
unacceptable.
G
B
B
C
C
A
I'm
quite
frustrated
about
the
whole
thing.
I
thought
this
council
has
accomplished
quite
a
lot
this
past
year
last
two
years
and
one
of
the
hardest
things
we
did
was
we
aligned
the
department
cost
of
the
fire
named
lence,
but
the
department
cost
were
to
the
citizens
of
caribou.
We
align
that
with
what
the
service
costs
were
to
outside
communities.
A
A
A
Let's
take
three
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
out
of
that
and
give
it
back
to
the
taxpayers
and
that
will
leave
a
hundred
and
thirty
seven
thousand
dollars
that
we
can
use
to
spend
money
on.
We
weren't
asking
for
the
whole
thing.
We
went
through
this
whole
thing
with
the
fire
and
ambulance
to
save
this
money,
and
now
it
looks
like
the
school
department
wants
to
use
it.
A
A
A
The
question
comes
back
well,
you're,
the
mayor,
you
do
it
wow,
that's
pretty
good!
I
can
tell
you
the
school's,
not
gonna.
Do
it
I,
don't
know
who's
gonna!
Do
it,
but
our
story
isn't
being
told
correctly.
We
have
to
regroup.
We
have
to
think
our
story.
We've
got
a
darn
good
story
this
past
year
we
worked
hard
at
it
and
we're
not
telling
it
right.
I
didn't
work
this
hard.
This
council
I
didn't
ask
this
council
to
work.
H
H
Last
year
we
had
to
cut
some
things,
so
I
do
think
the
taxpayers
need
to
vote
because
they're
the
people
who
are
going
to
pay
for
it,
and
you
know
that
they
have
to
have
the
information.
Like
you
said.
We
have
to
know
what
the
dollar
values
are.
We
have
to
know
what
it
looks
like,
but
the
school
board
was
also
elected,
so
the
taxpayers
put
those
people
to
make
these
decisions.
So
we
have
to
respect
that
as
well
when
we
need
to
be
asking
the
appropriate
questions,
knowing
what
those
cuts
would
be.
H
If
we're
really,
you
know
dead,
set
on
that
and
also
looking
I
look
at
this
school
as
a
different
opportunity
and
maybe
I'm
wrong,
but
I
look
at
it
as
an
economic
development
opportunity.
A
new
school
good
school
programs
bring
young
families
to
this
community
I
moved
back
here
twelve
years
ago,
so
that
my
kids
could
grow
up
and
go
to
Caribou
school
system.
Because
I
went
to
the
canvas
school
system,
my
husband
did
and
we
had
wonderful
opportunities.
H
I
can
tell
you
that
my
kids
have
had
wonderful
opportunities
in
the
camera
school
system
and
when
we're
talking
about
the
school
costing
the
city
of
caribou
money,
the
taxpayers
need
to
make
those
decisions,
because
many
of
the
taxpayers
kids
go
to
school
in
this
community
as
well,
so
I
think
there's
just
a
lot
to
look.
We
looked
at
and
I
do,
encourage
people
to
vote
because
that
that's
where
the
decisions
are
gonna
be
made.
B
E
E
B
E
C
A
G
A
A
E
E
We've
had
a
good
relationship
with
money
so
far
and
appreciate
everything
that
she's
been
doing
and
expected.
We'll
have
a
close
relationship
and
have
some
additional
business
development
opportunities
here
right
in
Caribou,
for
that,
we've
already
been
talking
with
her
about
how
they
might
be
able
to
utilize
city's
facilities
directly
and
try
to
alleviate
some
cost
on
the
chamber
and
the
city
to
a
lawful
businesses.
C
A
A
A
B
A
For
it,
it's
just
that
simple,
assuming
the
voters
vote
to
pay
for
it,
I
get
that
and
that's
fine,
no
ice,
I,
don't
think
it's
fair,
but
you
got
to
remember:
I
voted
against
joining
an
RSU.
For
this
very
reason
it
took
the
control
out
of
the
council's
hands.
I
was
the
only
city
councillor
at
the
time
to
vote,
no
against
it
that
shouldn't
surprise
anybody
school
board.
All
voted
for
all
the
other
towns
voted
for.
It.
B
A
Saying
goes,
I
was
so
far
out
there.
I
was
standing
by
myself
and
it
is
what
it
is
I'm
just
we're.
Just
I'm
just
got
to
absorb
it.
I
guess,
but
I
want
to
tell
our
story.
So
I
want
to
tell
the
story
when
everyone
pays
their
bill
and
I
guess
I'd
like
to
start
off
with
I.
Do
why
don't
we
send
out
two
bells
in
the
same
envelope,
one
for
this
city
on
its
own
piece
of
paper,
and
the
second
piece
of
paper
has
the
school
to
top
County
at
the
bottom.
A
A
B
A
This
a
standard
form
can
we
and
if
it
is,
then
maybe
we
just
add
two.
We
just
add
more
paper.
Maybe
we
leave
it
like
this
and
we
add
something
to
the
front
of
it.
In
other
words,
when
I
go
to
the
grocery
store
or
when
I
go
buy,
something
the
items
are
listed
in
the
totals
at
the
bottom.
I
get
this
bill
the
totals
at
the
top,
and
they
tell
you
where
it
went
at
the
bottom.
It's
just
opposite
people
look
at
what
they
owe.
Oh
that's.
A
E
Likely
it's
going
to
be
adding
another
piece
of
paper
with
infographic
or
something
like
as
you're
right
that
the
state
kind
of
dictates.
This
is
the
information
we
have
to
have
on
that
and
I
know
Penny's.
She
follows
that
to
the
letter,
but
yes
there
there
may
be
some
other
options
things
we
can
add
to
it.
D
A
B
G
E
G
A
E
Think
the
main
thing
I
wanted
to
touch
on
tonight
was
giving
the
council
an
update
on
Cove.
It
19
where
we
stand
right
now
is
the
city
as
it
sits
right
now,
the
the
library
is
closed
to
the
public.
The
staff
is
still
working,
there's
been
concerns
throughout
the
state
through
the
library,
associations
or
whatnot,
is
the
the
propensity
of
paper
to
hold
the
germ
and
turning
books
in
and
having
it
sit
on
the
shelves
and
contaminate
other
books
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
E
So
at
this
point
the
the
staff
are
continuing
to
function
inside
take
books
in
we're
not
sending
books
out.
The
hope
is
that
the
current
collection,
if
it
sits
there
for
the
two-week
period,
we
can
say
the
collection
itself
is
clean,
but
and
then
we
can
start
resuming
some
of
our
normal
operations
at
the
library.
E
The
rec
center
is
currently
closed
to
the
public
and
again
the
staff
is
continuing
to
work
right
now.
The
big
project
is
putting
new
paintjob
into
the
center,
which
has
been
long
overdue
and
so
they're
they're
working
on
that
I
was
in
a
meeting
this
morning
with
Gary
Marquis
and
his
staff,
talking
about
programs
and
cancellation
of
programs
looking
into
the
future,
anticipating
that
we
may
be
in
this
not
necessary
the
state
of
emergency,
but
the
state
of
school
closures,
maybe
even
for
the
rest
of
the
year.
E
We
don't
know
I,
don't
want
to
start
a
positive
number
for
the
kids
to
latch
on
to,
but
we
don't
know
for
sure,
what's
going
to
happen
with
the
school
district
and
how
long
they're
going
to
be
involved
with
the
online
schooling
that
they
now
and,
of
course,
as
long
as
the
state
of
emergency
is
in
place
of
limiting
gatherings
together.
That
also
impacts
our
ability
to
host
programs,
and
so
we
are
looking
at
what
we
need
to
do
with
reservations
that
we've
taken
or
not
taken
and
looking
into
the
summer
months.
E
What
kind
of
programs
we
anticipate
hosting
or
not
we'll
bring
more
information
to
you
as
we
have
that
in
the
public
works
department.
It's
not
a
facility.
That's
generally
open
to
the
public
anyways,
and
so
we
we
don't
say
that
it's
closed
to
the
public.
It's
just
not
accessible
from
the
public,
they've
instituted
additional
cleaning
procedures
within
their
equipment
within
the
offices
again
hand-washing
and
in
and
out
of
vehicles,
and
some
of
them
spend
long
times
in
there,
and
so
we
go
through
a
process
of
sanitizing,
cabs
and
and
whatnot
the
police
department.
E
The
the
lobby
area
is
still
open
to
the
public.
They
have
a
glass
panel,
of
course,
that
they
interact
through
and
so
that
limits
the
amount
of
social
interaction
that
they
have
there,
but
they
are
open
and
they
they
continue
to
work
under
state
enforcement
guidelines
and
those
get
handed
down
almost
on
a
daily
basis.
It
seems
now
and
they
implement
those
as
they
as
they
need
to
City
Hall
itself.
The
rest
of
this
building.
We
are
still
open
to
the
public.
E
We've
encouraged
citizens
to
utilize
online
services,
where
possible
or,
as
Jane
mentioned
earlier,
put
a
stamp
on
it
and
mail
it
in
to
us.
We
don't
necessarily
need
to
see
everybody.
The
clerk's
office
is
the
primary
location
of
concern
for
interaction
and
they've
instituted
some
additional
cleaning
procedures
limiting
not
as
a
barriers,
but
there
are
some
signs.
There
plays
no
more
than
one
person
beyond
certain
points
so
that
they
can
interact
that
way
and
in
limit
contact
were
possible.
E
Other
departments
are
allowing
people
to
come
in
by
appointments
again
we're
not
closed
to
the
public,
but
asking
for
people
to
be
cautious
and
don't
come
in
unless
you
absolutely
have
to
the
fire
and
EMS
department.
Again,
it's
not
a
facility,
that's
generally
accessible
to
the
public.
They
have
their
front
lobby
area.
That's
in
there.
People
can
still
come
into
that.
I
did
want
to
share
a
situational
report
from
chief
city
tonight,
as
has
been
discussed.
E
His
comments
are
over
the
last
week
many
policies
and
procedures
have
been
taken
out
and
dusted
off.
We've
been
in
direct
contact
with
the
state
emergency
agency
in
maine
c-d-c.
The
department
has
made
some
operational
changes
to
be
sure
we
are
keeping
our
crews.
Healthy
changes
include
getting
another
shower
working
in
the
station
extra
uniforms
kept
in
lockers
at
work
and
washed.
E
Sorry
extra
uniforms
kept
in
walkers
at
work
and
washing
them
after
any
Cova
19
response
and
when
they
say
Cova
19
response
they're
saying
if
the
call
came
out
as
a
potential
patient,
it's
they
treat
that
as
a
cove
at
19
response,
they've
set
up
ambulance
number
22
to
respond
to
covet
calls
following
CDC
guidelines
and
the
ability
to
fully
decontaminate
after
any
call
with
staff
safety
in
mind.
Basically,
what
they've
done
with
that
ambulance
is
in
order
to
not
contaminate
or
in
order
to
limit
contamination
of
supplies,
materials
that
are
in
there.
E
They
have
permission
from
the
state
to
strip
out
of
that,
basically
anything
that
they
would
not
need,
except
for
treating
a
kovat
case.
So
when
it
fully
reaches
the
county,
and
we
know
that
they're
actually
transporting
somebody
or
most
likely
transporting
somebody
with
cope
of
19
they'll,
be
able
to
utilize
that
ambulance
and
we
won't
be
contaminating
multiple
vehicles
through
the
process.
E
They've
also
limited
non-emergency
transfers
South
after
five
o'clock
and
there
they
are
frequently
washing
clothes
at
work
to
eliminate
cross
contamination
after
runs
and
they're,
also
holding
multiple
education
sessions
on
the
virus.
With
more
those
to
come,
I
know
they
meet
on
a
regular
basis
with
the
hospital
with
the
police
department,
with
the
school
district
to
keep
everybody
in
the
loop
of
what's
happening
there.
The
state
has
added
a
new
level
to
the
dispatch
model
to
include
new.
E
You
p21
codes
to
prepare
first
responders
when
the
calls
made,
so
they
have
plenty
of
time
to
Don
their
PPE
or
their
personal
protective
equipment,
and
so
that
includes
you,
p21
positives,
you
be
21
negatives
and
you
be
21,
inclusive
or
inconclusive,
based
on
the
code
that
comes
across
they
they
prepare.
Accordingly,
the
department
to
date
has
responded
to
multiple,
you,
p21
negative
calls
and
five
you
p21
positive
calls.
We've
had
wonderful
community
support
with
our
call
out
for
personal
protective
equipment.
E
If
you
weren't
aware
there
was
a
Facebook
post
by
the
department
asking
if
anybody
had
any
additional
n,
p95,
respirators
or
masks
and
have
had
some
great
response
and
somebody
additional
information
will
come
to
you
on
this,
but
somebody
joining
upwards
of
two
thousand
dollars
worth
of
equipment
to
the
department.
To
help
out
with
this,
the
state
is
very
much
aware
that
we're
kind
of
at
the
very
end
of
the
supply
chain
and
the
state's
working
more
closely
with
our
department
to
make
sure
we
get
additional
supplies
up
to
the
area.
E
The
hospitals
have
instituted
some
changes
for
patient
drop-off
if
it's
a
potential
case
and
so
they're
still
adapting
to
that
model
and
working
with
the
hospital
one
of
the
options
are
looking
at
is
a
possible
satellite
facility
within
town
to
take
potential
patients
too,
as
almost
a
type
of
a
triage
for
those
types
of
cases
so
more
to
come.
We'll
continue
to
work
on
that
and
we'll
continue
to
send
out
information
to
you
and
let
you
know
if
significant
things
come
up.

E
Dr.
Karla
chamku
between
the
failed
portion
of
the
River
Road
and
the
river,
the
majority
of
that
land
is
only
by
dr.
Karla
chamku.
She
is
a
person
that
lives
back
in
California.
She
has
sentimental
ties
to
the
property.
Yes,
it
was
a
previous
family
site,
family
home
site
and
she
would
like
to
entertain.
H
E
The
city
of
the
possibility
of
trading
ground
if
the
city
has
some
tax
acquired
property
that
she
might
be
interested
in,
then
a
straight
swap
so
that
the
city
can
take
ownership
of
her
property
before
the
thaw
occurs,
and
she
would
go
on
her
way
and
we
would
have
full
control
in
case
a
major
failure
occurs.
We
can
then
be
in
a
better
situation
to
seek
federal
financing
of
a
major
repair.
A
F
Have
just
one
question
on
the
Public
Safety
Building?
If
we
got
that
the
draft
report
and
see
Ellen
said
it
seems
it's
more
cost-effective
to
leave
the
city
functions
where
they
are
and
build
a
new
police
facility,
and
they
has
not
put
these
conclusions
in
the
report
as
I.
Think
a
working
session
with
the
council
should
be
done
first,
so
everyone
is
on
the
same
page
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
anything
is,
if
there's
any
plans
and
in
your
future
or
whatever,
to
have
a
working
session
with
our
own.
That
they've.
E
E
B
B
E
Since
that's
been
brought
up
and
for
the
public
awareness
element
of
my
report,
we
have
looked
at
the
city
getting
a
zoom
account
so
that
we
would
have
a
zoom
business
account
with
the
host
meetings.
Each
of
the
councillors
will
be
set
up
with
their
own
zoom
account
through
the
city,
and
you
know
we
have
a
zoom
meeting.
Basically
what
it
would
happen.
Is
you
at
each
on
your
own
personal
devices
and
be
able
to
check-in,
and
we
would
show
those
be
able
to
show
those
actually.
E
E
E
A
Okay,
my
computer
guru,
my
grandson,
has
left
the
county
to
go
to
work
and
southern
Maine
by
the
way
for
Jim
Rohn.
He
got
called
back
to
work,
I'm
sure
he's
heading
down
into
a
area
and
I
very
gently
and
politely
told
him
stay
down.
There,
don't
come
home
on
the
weekends
until
this
thing's
over
and
he
understood,
love
I
was
giving
him.
He
understood
that
so
I'll
ask
you
a
question.
How
do
you
see
my
face
from
my
computer?
If
I
don't
have
a
camera.
E
I
F
I
I
B
D
Can
I
just
I'll
make
one
other
comment
having
to
do
with
executive
sessions?
I
had
a
concern
about
that,
but
I
have
learned
from
I
reached
out
to
fellow
clerks
last
week
and
the
city
of
Lewiston
is
having
executive
sessions
tomorrow
night
using
zoom,
but
as
your
freedom
of
information,
your
public
access
officer,
I,
had
a
concern
with
that.
So
I
reached
out
to
three
fellow
clerks
that
I'm
friends
with
in
Lewiston
and
Portland
and
water
them.
