Description
City of Groton, CT municipal meeting - June 27, 2016.
A
A
C
Thank
you
for
the
record.
My
name's
Scott
Bassett
I'm
a
partner
with
our
set
when
we
conducted
the
audit
for
the
city
of
Groton,
actually
for
the
fiscal
year
june,
thirtieth
the
2015
we
usually
come
in
in
March
I.
Guess
we
dismiss
schedules
or
whatever
so
we're
reporting
tonight
on
those
results
on
here
in
the
next
month,
or
so
we
start
in
the
2016
audit,
but
prana
I
thought
would
be
just
to
go
through.
Those
coppers
did
some
of
the
events
a
happy
about
for
the
year
in
2015
biggest
thing.
C
What
we're
hard
to
do
is
to
present
to
the
doctor,
audit
and,
of
course,
generally
accepted
auditing
standards
and
make
sure
the
students
are
our
apartment
buildings
set
of
accounting
principles
or
those
procedures.
We
give
an
opinion
on
the
package
statement
stating
whether
materially
correct
we
have
to
clean
unmodified
opinion
on
the
city's
capper
this
year
on
the
cap.
Are
the
five
states
include
the
city's
general
fund?
I'll
see
left
open
water
sewer
in
smaller
one
step
that
make
up
here
at
various
modules.
Without
us
within
the
city
is
pretty
large
booklet.
C
The
city
bedford,
prepare
capper
on
the
capper,
something
five
parts
to
the
copper
and
the
first
parking
transmittal
letter
in
the
last
party.
The
10-year
information
isn't
required
or
the
five
your
sponsors
that
the
matter
for
useful
information
to
any
other
data
facts
holders
and
stakeholders
within
the
city.
C
So
I
think
that
I
have
fun
so
you
take
that
you're
fine
with
that,
I
can
go
through
some
of
financial
highlights
for
you,
with
the
booklet
walking
through
some
of
the
things
and
just
an
interesting
things
that
that
I
saw
as
we
go
through
that
so
a
page,
probably
as
you
go
into
the
document
is
page
one.
This
is
probably
ten
pages
and.
C
This
is
our
opinion,
so
basically,
this
is
the
only
thing
really
as
your
order
for
only
in
the
financial
statement.
The
rest
of
the
statement
is
something
that
is
prepared
by
five
management
and
Ron
staff.
We
apply
to
that.
This
is
our
opinion,
stating
that
we
gave
you
a
clean,
unmodified
opinion
of
the
financial
statements
as
a
whole.
C
In
the
current
year
there
was
a
new
accounting
standards
that
had
to
be
adopted
by
all
municipality
here
across
the
country,
the
state
of
Connecticut,
and
that
was
the
adoption
of
a
new
accounting
standard
that
has
to
do
with
one
thing:
I
we're
talking
about
catches.
That's
that's
something
within
the
missile
arena.
It's
getting
a
lot
of
talk
as
you
read
around
you
go
about
the
country
about
how
they're
funded
unfunded
liabilities
out
there.
Well,
the
city's
financial
statements
on
pension
plan
is
very,
very
well
funded.
C
The
city
is
about
99%,
funded
and
under
that,
under
that
measurement,
I
think
it's
key
to
know
that's
as
a
jun,
13
2015,
so
what
they
did
for
the
city.
Is
they
roll
the
fair
value
of
the
investments
that
pay
that
liability?
So
at
that
point
in
time,
your
actor
is
measured.
The
live,
knowing
if
fair
value
of
investments
in
under
that
criteria,
you're.
C
Ninety
nine
percent
point
a
which
is
very,
very
high,
I
think
the
national
average
is
on
somewhere
around
70
and
then
other
communities
of
person
that
so
I
applaud
you
for
having
discipline
to
keep
pointing
that
at
the
actuary
required
contribution
to
keeping
at
that
level
hi
as
Ron
and
management.
Oh
radiance
she's
obviously
got
something
there
looking
at
at
something
they
want
to
see
the
funding.
What
the
future
cost
is,
so
so
this
clip
there
I
think.
That's
probably
the
key
is
just
this
new
standard
at
qingdao.
C
Turning
to
the
next
five
or
six
pages
and
get
out
of
this
doctor,
just
doctors,
probably
150
pages
and
the
city
prompt
us
together
working
like
is
a
management,
discussion
and
analysis.
This
really
summarizes
the
financial
highlights
within
the
city
or
the
year
in.
Actually
these
are
some
of
the
big
guys
that
go
through
the
whole
booklet
really
are
all
here
in
the
six
or
seven
pages.
So
as
you
pull
a
cap
together,
I
always
I,
always
it.
My
advice
is
to
read
this
mansion
dr.
C
analysis,
because
it's
a
great
summary
of
what
happened
and
the
details
are
all
in
the
back.
This
is
really
kind
of
puts
everything
what
happened
financial
highlights
of
the
city
and
some
some
other
needed
information.
So
what
I'm
able
to
is
going
to
walk
you
through
the
document
on
period
of
age,
13.
C
So
each
13
presents
a
deposition
into
the
full,
cruel
basis
of
accounting,
the
government
activities
governmental
activities.
The
last
number
on
bottom
of
the
page
at
total
net
position
of
30
million
dollars
on
meaning
your
total
assets
exceeded
your
liabilities
by
30
million
dollars,
but
your
governmental
activities.
Now?
What
did
that
mean?
We're?
Does
that
number
come
from?
It's
all
your
infrastructure
assets
outside
of
the
water
and
electrical
that
the
city
owns
in
a
cash
on
hand
and
things
of
that
nature.
C
Turning
to
the
next
page,
15
budgetary
standpoint,
this
is
upon
the
general
fund,
our
main
operating
fun
with
it
within
the
city.
Then
you
talk
about
how
to
budget
is
passed
and
the
key
number
there
is
the
unassigned
fund,
balance
of
2.7
million
dollars
at
2.7
million
represents
of
sixteen
point.
Five
percent
of
your
general
fund
expenditures
as
I
was
getting
ready
for
the
meeting.
One
thing
I
did
know
from
14
and
15
there's
been
a
decrease
in
that
unassigned
fund
balance
of
approximately
two
million
dollars,
and
you
had
another
another
use
here.
C
So
what
I
would
say
is
to
watch
that
what
you
hear-
measurements
of
unbalanced
as
a
percentage
of
expenditures
and
operate,
transfers
out
and
you'll
hear
anything
between
five
and
fifteen
percent,
but
the
smaller
entity,
the
larger
that
percentage
choose
me
so
I
know
it's
something
that
you're
talking
about,
but
as
I
as
I
compared.
That
was
something
that
stuck
out
for
me
within
the
general
fund
over
the
last
couple
years.
Have
you
been
here
so
I
just
had
a
new
look
at
turning
a
page,
16
nervous.
C
As
I
mentioned,
there
was
a
decrease
their
number
from
the
bottom
of
decrease
in
your
fund,
balance
of
about
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
2014
a
you
nominated
170.
Those
are
probably
playing
because
those
are
rolling
pawns.
Asian
money
comes
in
it
out
based
on
capital
projects
issues,
but
the
bottom
number
really
is
y
know.
You
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
in
the
next
to
a
chub
geez.
Just
a
reconciliation
and
page
18
and
19
is
the
Saviour
that
position
for
your
water
funds.
C
As
I
mentioned,
each
of
those
funds
told
that
position
was
38
million
dollars.
Electorate
is
8.4
in
water,
I
know
with
the
electric
a
few
years
ago.
We
had
that
big
right
off
and
that
that
deficit
number
was
a
lot
bigger
back
then.
So
we
are
not
going
to
expect
you
to
take
turn
the
corner.
That
speed
a
positive
position.
I
think
at
the
end
of
2016.
C
Results
of
operation
threaded
age,
20
on
the
election
had
chained
to
that
position
at
5.4
million
dollars,
and
we
ordered
learn
how
to
change
in
that
position
of
1.5
in
your
internal
service.
Funding
to
come
continues
to
be
well
funded.
So
a
couple
of
things
there
I'll
talk
about
when
you
go
to
the
rating
agencies
and
your
rating,
your
bonds
I,
was
there
taking
in
the
city
as
a
whole,
so
they
try
to
look
at
your
reserves.
C
I
talked
about
fun
balance,
I'll,
see
that
that
rate
or
16
they're,
looking
at
the
ability
to
pay
down
that
work
within
your
enterprise
funds
and
then
also
with
your
troll
service
phones.
If
you
change
some
rest
there
and
do
self
insurance
and
health
benefits,
so
you
want
to
keep
dying,
ft
so
I.
In
my
opinion,
the
internal
service
fund
is
a
overly
overfunded
I.
Think
it's
a
strong
position
in
it
for
the
general
inside.
C
C
Good,
so
I
think
I
was
senior
of
your
head
of
that,
so
we
did
talk
about
you
know
last
couple
years
about
cash
flow.
We
talked
about
just
the
bond,
except
that
the
electric
company
would
was
a
sore
begin,
those
principal
payments-
and
you
can
see
there
on
th
41,
that
electric
hook
they
actually
had
a
positive
cash
flow.
This
year
of
77
million
dollars
in
the
water
department,
had
a
decrease
in
its
cash
flow
of
1.7.
C
C
We
talked
about
their
pension
plans
in
the
funding
of
your
pet
plans.
You,
the
city
at
about
79
78
million
dollars
on
held
in
trust,
pay
benefits
to
future
retirees,
and
if
you
measure
that
against
what
the
future
liability
do
you
bring
about.
Even
so,
you
do
have
about
that.
70.
There
is
70
million
dollar
pension
trust
fund.
That
is
managed
into
results
of
operations
for
the
2013.
C
Here
yet
total
investment
income
a
1.6,
but
I
would
say
that
your
change
in
fair
value
for
the
year
in
2015,
you
had
a
small
just
decrease
than
what
I've
seen
throughout
the
state.
So
I
believe
that
you
know
the
managing
public
funds,
but
it
was
prudent
because
there
were
some
big
swings.
Remember
in
2014
there
was
a
big
change
in
fair
value
as
1
30,
2014,
so
I
think
you're,
hitting
your
marks
with
the
actions,
though,
is
as
they
develop
their
estimates.
They
use
things
of
rate
of
return
and
things
of
that
nature.
C
To
ask
me
what
that
liability
would
be
what
we
do
as
your
extra
orders.
We
have
our
own
afterwards
take
a
look
at
that
and
they
all
just
to
make
these
sure
that
the
assumptions
are
too
aggressive
and
that
there
what
is
benchmark.
So
a
lot
is
done
with
pensions,
as
you
can
imagine,
both
on
the
asset
side,
which
is
that
78
billion
dollars,
but
also
on
the
liability
side,
calculated
estimates.
A
lot
of
time
is
spent
there
because
they
are
big
numbers
you
can
think
about
it
in
projecting
those
it
is.
C
Capital
assets,
as
you
know,
we
talked
about
all
the
capital
assets
can
take
the
detail
of
that
we
roll
forward,
and
we
have
done
a
couple
items
that
did
max
properly
something
that
we
consider
the
cheerleaders
or
something
something
to
take.
A
look
at
here
to
keep
your
hand
on
the
overall
condition
of
the
books
of
reference
will
very
good
we're
able
to
pull
everything
together.
Very
few
water
adjustments
were
made
in
the
current
year.
C
So
when
I
talk
about
that,
that's
always
important,
because
the
information
that
you
get
on
a
monthly
basis
from
line
is
that
you
can
take
a
lot
of
confidence
that
that's
accurate
or
not
career
as
your
external
auditors
and
make
it
a
ton
of
adjusting
entries
and
the
information
that
you're
getting
on
the
multi
basis
is
accurate,
so
I'm
sure
on
the
staff
work
very
hard
to
get
that
information
through
so
on.
That's
the
one
is
talk
about
these
conditions.
C
E
C
Fun
balance
at
the
end,
I
take
it
into
a
county
or
not
that
you're
going
to
ease
if
you're
using
the
16
a
sixteen
point,
five
percent
very
strong,
but
but
you,
but
again
we
use
about
a
million
of
dollars
of
that
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
So
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
that
I
think
you
still
might
say
that
strong,
it's
robert
to
the
radio
agencies.
They
look
at
that
strong
would
say
to
just
keep
behind
that.
C
Obviously,
the
funding
of
a
pension
plan
beat
at
ninety-nine
percent
very,
very
strong
one
of
the
higher
ratios.
I
deceived
routes
throughout
the
state
of
panic.
I
would
say
that
the
city
in
selfie
look
at
electro
water
general
fund
on
the
condition
of
attention.
Pet
fun
fiscally
is
on
the
right
path,
is
strong,
no,
no
red
flags
there
other
than
the
cost
would
look
at
the
general
fund.
P,
90,
fun,
fun
balance,
but
no
I
believe
that,
with
only
the
two
small
mansion
comments,
looking
at
your
fun
bounds
and
helpings
were
acting
very
good
I'm.
E
C
E
A
A
So
everybody
has
a
copy
of
the
budget,
and
maybe
you
could
review
for
this
for
us
what
this
means
in
terms
of
so
so.
These
are
the
requests
that
the
Economic
Development
Commission
has
for
the
2016-2017
fiscal
year.
There
is
currently
money
in
a
fund
for
Economic
Development
and
they
have
used
some
of
it
for
this
year
and
they
have
encumbered
some
of
it
for
this
year,
which
means
that
there
is
a
reserve
balance
in
there.
This
would
be
so
we
would
be.
G
The
Economic
Development
Commission
has
donita
its
tasks.
Much
like
the
CDEC
did
require
them
into
subsidies.
Each
subcommittee
has
different
responsibilities.
We
sustainable
economic
development,
that's
that
goal,
so
each
of
those
groups
got
together
and
develop
a
budget
for
some
of
the
tasks
they
see
their
committees
going
through
for
next
year
and
there's
they're,
not
that
it's
not
a
large
amount
of
money.
There's
some
basic
operating
services
in
tulsa
and
postage.
Things
like
that
I've
been
observing
that
in
my
budget,
but
I
am
now
running
dangerously
over
and
so
I
have
to.
G
G
Then
there's
some
money
in
there
for
promotion
from
you.
Businesses
as
a
new
business
opens
many
other
chamber
does
kind
of
a
ribbon
cutting,
but
we
would
like
to
do
something
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Groton
to
welcome
people
to
the
community,
whether
they
be
expanding
their
businesses
and
businesses.
G
Whatever
entity
it
is
that
might
impact
your
business
is
coming
in
the
planning,
Commission
son
court
of
appeals
and
the
biggest
expense
is
thirty
thousand
dollars.
I've
been
staffing,
the
committee,
but
I
do
have
kind
of
a
full-time
job
with
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
and
as
the
work
of
the
EDC
wraps
up
and
that
you
can
get
into
specific
program,
such
as
a
loading
program
for
facade
improvements
or
some
rental
subsidy
programs.
There's
a
lot
of
things
that
they've
been
considering
and
rolling
over.
G
I
G
G
E
E
A
G
A
G
A
B
G
F
B
I
You
I
support.
This
goes
from
the
beginning
we
talked
about
before
we
wanted
to
go
and
what
we
want
to
do
with
a
CDC
and
then
now
and
Economic,
Development,
Commission
and
I
think
there's
good
use
for
the
part-time
person.
I
know
that
there
are
going
to
be
people
out
there.
That
say
well.
The
town
has
economic
development,
people
and
things
like
that.
I
Why
are
we
using
them
and
I
think
we
still
need
to
have
our
own
economic
development
group
here
and
focus
on
what's
in
the
city,
because
we're
still
working
with
it
out
and
and
it
has
not
been
100%
brought
together
where
I'm
comfortable
enough
to
let
the
town
take
it
over
and
say
here
will
take
care
of
all
this
and
this
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
came
up
with
the
Economic
Development
Commission.
We
have
now
so
well.
A
And
I
think
that
if
the
town
had
someone
who
could
assume
this
role,
we
would
very
seriously
look
at
that.
However,
that
question
was
asked
John
rhymer
at
a
town
council
meeting.
Do
you
have
someone
who
could
do
part-time
duties
for
the
city
and
the
answer
was
no.
They
believe
that
they
are
understaffed,
as
it
is
absolutely
that
was
an
assessment
from
their
planning
develop
their
planning,
the
head
of
planning
exactly.
I
A
J
G
They're
established
there
should
be
nothing.
Should
there
be
a
job
description,
there
should
be
a
work
plan
and
there
should
be
some
kind
of
an
hour
and
there's
a
couple
of
good
models
out
there
that
I'm
very
familiar
with
his
main
street
program,
and
there
is
a
recording
mechanism
by
which
you
track
number
of
jobs
created
the
amount
of
businesses
that
are
open.
They
even
the
hours
of
volunteer,
spend
and
then
there's
dollar
figures,
standards
that
are
applied
to
those
so
that
there's
basically
a
report
card.
G
I
You
this
is
an
aside,
but
it's
related
I
think
it
would
be
good
we've
kind
of
talked
about
this
before,
but
have
the
EDC
come
to
us
and
talk
to
us
about
what
you're
thinking
and
where
they're
looking
to
go
to
a
president?
Basically
a
presentation
that
would
be
right
idea,
I
mean
I.
Think
that
would
be
a
great
idea
would
help
provide
a
comfort
level
to
the
council
that
this
is
the
right
decision.
Yeah.
G
And
right
now
it
would
be
a
good
time
in
the
neck
over
the
next
couple
of
months
just
finished
a
survey
of
businesses
that
came
through
the
planning
and
zoning
and
building
departments
getting
permits,
and
they
use
that
list
and
went
out
and
did
a
one-on-one,
I
kind
of
welcome
to
our
community.
How
did
you
find
the
experience?
What
can
we
do
to
make
it
easier
for
you
and
they'll
have
the
results
of
that
survey
and
I
think
that
would
be
interesting
for
the
council
here?
Why
do
people
come?
G
E
Budget
but
I
mean
they
haven't
present
their
their
direction.
What
they
wanted
to
do
so
I
think
before
we
finalize
this
and
say
we
want
to
hire
someone
to
help.
You
meet
your
goals.
We
should
probably
be
clear
that
their
goals
are
similar
to
our
goals
and
the
other
people
who
may
be
involved
so
I,
don't
know
what
the
rest
of
the
council
thinks,
but
so.
E
Think
it
would
at
least
they're
very
least,
be
I'm,
okay
with
grading
the
position,
because
I
think
it
is
important
and
from
everything
we've
heard,
it
seems
like
they're
heading
in
the
right
direction,
but
anyway
would
be
nice
for
a
chair
person
or
a
couple
of
the
members
to
come
and
just
explain
what
direction
they
would
like
to
go
in.
So.
A
This
the
question
that's
before
you
tonight
is
about
the
budget.
It
doesn't
mean
that
instantly
we
hire
somebody.
So
the
question
that
you
would
be
voting
to
put
on
the
agenda
for
July
fifth
would
be
whether
to
transfer
the
19,000
empty,
odd
dollars
from
the
community
development
of
beautification
fund
to
the
Economic
Development
Commission.
You
would
still
it's
just
like
when
you
support
a
budget.
Even
then,
when
there's
an
item
that
comes
to
a
certain
amount
of
money,
you
still
vote
on
it,
even
though
it
was
in
the
budget
yeah.
E
G
A
F
A
K
K
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
to
go
over
the
low
bid
at
179,
ten
dollars
that,
and
we
were
doing
the
other
streets
in
the
area
over
the
same
contract
in
the
state
bid
move
on
the
state
contract.
That
was
the
gun,
reform
protest,
a
tribunal,
couplings
two
basketballs
and
dash
possibly
has
some
colleague
back
left
in
it.
I
think
that
raised
the
price
because
of
the
unknown.
A
That's
the
base
bid,
but
there
is,
but
when
we
bring
a
resolution
to
you,
we
also
believe
are
going
to
be
bringing
a
resolution
to
you
to
add
to
that
a
10-percent
contingency
of
seventeen
thousand
nine
hundred
one
and
three
cents
or
I
might
kick
in
the
theory
but
anyway,
so
that
so
that
we
have
a
contingency
for
this,
because
it
is
a
difficult
project.
It
is
more
difficult
than
usual.
D
A
D
A
L
Request
into
the
office
department,
civilian
of
us,
their
camp
they're
playing
uncle
them
to
our
beach
leave
it
there
requested
by
the
six
bus
fortified
buses
they
come
in
with
their
kids
they're,
just
going
to
do
one
day
will
become
a
system
like
excite
the
interpretation
that
was
an
imperfect
committee
of
the
hills
of
regulation,
which
is
on
page
two
letter.
F,
is
that
people
in
committed
vegetables
and
three
buses
per
day,
so
we
would
be
I
guess
if
we
allow
the
town
to
come
with
four
to
five
buses
movies.
I
L
H
L
Would
we
would
schedule
that
to
happen?
We
do
that
on
Thursdays,
pleasantly
right
now,
all
10
of
our
lifeguards
workers.
We
bring
over
almost
300
kids
the
wrong
program
down
to
the
beach
plus
the
lure
of
us.
You
know
that
patrons
that
just
everything
featured
SATCOM.
We
designate
our
areas,
the
farby
charrier
by
the
basketball
courts
and
when
we
limit
our
kids
to
that
area-
and
we
actually
other
people's
know
where
our
kids
are
going
to
be
they'll,
probably
make
those
distinctions
with
the
town
to
do
that
for
them.
So.
L
L
Back
yet,
but
it's
not
if
passed,
it
hasn't
been
addition
when
we
think
about
their
buses
in
before,
but
they
like
I,
said
they
come
in
three
different
occasions.
If,
as
we
bother
used
to
come
one
sealy
one
one
week
and
then
rochester,
I
think
that
the
other
site
that
they
had
a
queue
another
and
they
so
they
don't
have
two
buses,
then
so
sounds
like
they're
just
making
one
trip,
and
we
have
eight
guards
on
duty
most
days
anyway.
L
E
Sexy
yeah,
my
concern
becomes,
I
was
thinking
what
day
of
the
week
is
it
which
concerns
me,
because
friday
tends
to
be
a
day
when
it's
a
little
busier,
because
people
are
kick
off
work
or
whatever
so
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
number
of
kids
that
might
be
there
and
the
safety
aspect
of
it.
Was
there
any
discussion
about
them
splitting
it?
Is
there
any
reason
they
couldn't
do
two
days?
You
know
and
take
three
great
you.
L
F
F
I
E
I
E
L
E
E
L
H
L
Concern
was
how
it's
written
in
the
rules.
If
we
do
it
now,
do
we
if
you
get
another
requester
in
time
or
do
we
just
look
at
this
when
we
look
at
the
rules
and
regulations
and
see
if
it's
something
they
need
to
address
from
the
beach
and
parks
can
be
standpoint,
and
just
the
in
others
that
you
know
it's.
A
resolution
in
schools
and
regulations
have
been
printed
so
many
questions
it
saying:
oh
wait,
I
thought
into
three
buses
and
sort
of
seven
come
in,
hopefully
I,
don't
maybe
not.
It
was
maybe
five.
L
I
We
not,
you,
know,
agreed
and
make
a
decision
on
this
and
the
decision
not
be
precedent-setting
and
and
then,
if
it
comes
up
again,
then
we
look
at
it
again
a
chance
each
time.
Each
event
is
a
separate
and
distinct
event,
so
that
one
time
we
may
say
yes
and
what
time
we
may
say,
no
and
the
rationale
could
be
the
same
or
could
be
different
and
that's
why
we
wanted
to
bring.
A
L
B
J
A
J
L
L
Who
is
somebody
out
there
who
had
worked
in
this
area
in
the
past
and
knew
about
the
beach
and
thought
it
would
be
a
nice
venue
for
the
kids
in
the
afternoon,
but
she
only
got
two
buses,
so
it
didn't
affect
us
saying
yes
or
no,
because
they
were
in
that
three
bus
limit,
so
yeah
we
do
get
when
people
request
for
people
coming,
but
we
haven't
I
mean
it's
one
of
those
games.
We
can
address
again
if
they
came
up
yes
and.
E
Also
just
to
be
mindful,
people
may
not
know,
but
the
buses
do
not
stay.
So
it's
not
like
that.
Consider
there's
always
been
concerned
the
past.
All
the
buses
take
up
spots,
they
don't
they
drop
the
kids
off
they
go
and
then
maybe
15
minutes
0
for
its
time
ago.
They
come
back
in
and
get
the
kids.
So
it's
not
a
concern
of
the
parking
space
is
being
taken
up.
It's.
A
The
beach
is
there
any
value
and
asking
them
to
look
at
a
different
day,
one
that
would
that
you
know
counselor
lamento
pointed
out
that
Fridays
are
a
day
that
a
lot
of
people
take
off
and
go
to
the
beach
that
it's
a
heavily
packed
day
anyway.
Would
there
be
any
value
and
looking
at
a
Tuesday
or
Wednesday
I
know
we're
down
there
thursday?
We.
L
Have
a
bus,
we
have
two
buses
that
are
already
on
Tuesday
I
have
to
look
at
a
Monday,
not
sure
if
they
like
to
do
field
trips
in
on
Monday,
but
I
mean
it's
kind
of
hard
to
gauge.
Do
because
I
give
us
an
overcast
day
on
a
Friday.
It's
not
going
to
be
busy
today.
The
beach
wasn't
busy,
because
it's
even
as
nice
as
it
was,
it
was
windy
down.
L
There's
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
show
up
so
that's
kind
of
its
kind,
that's
kind
of
like
a
catch-22.
You
could
say
it's
busy
and
it
could
be,
but
then
there
could
be
a
day
where
it's
gray
and
overcast
and
the
school
bring
their
bus
because
it's
not
technically
remaining,
and
they
have
you
know.
So
it's
it's
one
of
those
things,
but
I
think
it's
workable.
It's
definitely
workable.
We
do
it
every
thursday,
so
we
would
have
a
problem
and
make
sure
that
they
just
follow
the
pool
w
them
to
be
down
there.
A
A
M
Compal
a
little
context:
water
company
has
been
upgrading
water
use.
Several
revisions
number
one
old
ears-
are
a
people
in
real
life,
yeah
number
two,
the
old
meters,
10
avalo,
the
lanthanum
and
current
regulations
requirement
they
can
upgrade.
And
third,
it
also
allows
users
to
be
read
by
drop
by.
M
M
The
plan
was
is
to
spend
three
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
on
the
physical
meters,
and
then
there
was
an
extra
twenty
thousand
dollars
that
wasn't.
It
was
part
of
the
project
that
wasn't
put
into
this
purchase
order
because
they
were
planted
by
part
of
the
electronics
from
another
vendor
in
the
end
by
sales,
ended
up
being
able
to
provide
that
electronic
parts
for
the
meter
so
we're
at
the
end
of
the
purchase
order
in
ran
over
by
eleven
thousand
dollars.
M
H
A
M
A
A
In
favor,
say,
aye
aye
opposed
abstaining.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
the
last
item
on
our
agenda
is
to
appoint
a
member
of
the
City
Council
to
the
community
service
awards
selection
committee.
So
each
year
we
select
a
community,
a
member
of
the
greater
Groton
utility
service
area
community,
who
receives
a
an
award
for
the
work
that
the
volunteer
work.
They
do
so
the
nominations
closed
July
one
and-
and
so
we
need
a
member
of
the
Council
to
serve
on
that.
Usually
it
meets
during
the
day.
J
A
E
I
H
A
A
So
do
we
all
know
when
we're
so
we've
ordered
t-shirts
for
the
parade?
Is
everybody
marching
you're,
not
getting
a
t-shirt,
then
wow,
so
you're
going
you're
going
you're
going
just
me
I'm
going
you're
going,
it
will
check
with
Larry
Deb
you're
going.
Okay,
don't
forget
to
bring
a
bag
with
handles?
Oh
I'm,
don't
feeling
and
don't
forget
we're
mustering.
