And I've seen both ways if the majority goes with the approval 23 00:02:12.767 --> 00:02:17.277 even those who are absent they can choose to go that way or they can abstain but 24 00:02:17.287 --> 00:02:21.899 thank you. Do we have any visitors yet. 25 00:02:24.359 --> 00:02:30.579 The little ones absolutely just met you jailers and my questions are. 26 00:02:32.970 --> 00:02:39.382 Like you are the fruits or I have more questions like I know or 27 00:02:40.332 --> 00:02:46.244 how many years was it does that right can we just go along I want so we can live in 28 00:02:46.254 --> 00:02:52.866 the what yes yes yes to that I'm all right when you want to show you those numbers 29 00:02:53.416 --> 00:03:00.177 great to have you. This was just 2011 I 30 00:03:00.187 --> 00:03:06.277 think right or did we start 2010 with the beginning negative Beginning Balance So 31 00:03:06.287 --> 00:03:12.958 with that there would be that shooting for 6 or 7 years while it was 32 00:03:13.890 --> 00:03:18.942 yeah totally good he said the same thing I did. And it's being rectifying claiming 33 00:03:19.082 --> 00:03:26.054 this is just real now hopefully I'm going to trust that it was funny or I'm going 34 00:03:26.064 --> 00:03:32.995 to or. Another time is not going to try to get there this got to 35 00:03:33.005 --> 00:03:37.377 say I'm not sure how we're going to be handling this cargo deficit if there is any 36 00:03:37.387 --> 00:03:43.598 answer from Mark or Cheryl. Because that would be up to the town meeting if 37 00:03:44.238 --> 00:03:44.838 there was 38 00:03:44.848 --> 00:03:49.838 a conversation about the other 2 items that is basically money that once into free 39 00:03:49.848 --> 00:03:54.378 cash and now is going to be readjusted they're going to go get it classified under 40 00:03:54.388 --> 00:04:01.379 their proper place. With this one the driver is if 41 00:04:01.419 --> 00:04:07.582 I may simplify it so that apparently cross many school doesn't become them while 42 00:04:07.752 --> 00:04:08.352 there is 43 00:04:08.762 --> 00:04:13.684 a problem with free lunch program because of the because of many factors one of 44 00:04:13.694 --> 00:04:14.294 which being 45 00:04:14.544 --> 00:04:21.137 a declining enrollment. Very few generated is less than the 46 00:04:21.147 --> 00:04:26.968 expenses that were incurred for these services so if we're this is accumulating. 47 00:04:29.069 --> 00:04:35.783 And what's going to happen is that in some way that the town meeting decides 48 00:04:35.793 --> 00:04:42.030 to. Take care of these deficits we're going to be closing whatever the balance is 49 00:04:42.650 --> 00:04:49.033 through last fiscal It will not include. Anything related to the current 50 00:04:49.523 --> 00:04:54.983 fiscal year but we will close the deficit through the previous 51 00:04:58.964 --> 00:05:05.769 beautiful service director who didn't think I was 52 00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:13.641 going to would mean there is just so much yet. 53 00:05:15.591 --> 00:05:22.223 So here's the thing. My recollection is and this dates 54 00:05:22.633 --> 00:05:28.674 before all of us on this committee but my recollection and understanding is that 55 00:05:29.104 --> 00:05:34.294 the reason why the current service is provided by the chart while the current 56 00:05:34.304 --> 00:05:41.115 service there is because. There was an expectation that they would be able to 57 00:05:41.725 --> 00:05:45.325 manage the expenses the finances of such 58 00:05:45.335 --> 00:05:51.266 a school lunch program in the most effective and efficient so the reason why it's 59 00:05:51.276 --> 00:05:57.806 not happening this way is not necessarily related to any error on that side just to 60 00:05:57.816 --> 00:06:03.896 clarify we are asking these questions and we are we are holding them accountable 61 00:06:03.906 --> 00:06:09.486 for things that may or may not be happening. The challenge is this we have been 62 00:06:09.586 --> 00:06:15.688 declining enrollment obviously they are dependent on the sales of lunch and other 63 00:06:16.238 --> 00:06:21.178 goods including snacks and what have you to be able to generate their revenue but 64 00:06:21.188 --> 00:06:22.818 they are also 65 00:06:23.448 --> 00:06:28.319 a service provider and therefore they are charging us for their service Yes they're 66 00:06:28.329 --> 00:06:34.232 dead available to you all the time they should be as they should but there are 67 00:06:34.242 --> 00:06:38.892 certain things that we are told that are not under their control to keep on causing 68 00:06:38.902 --> 00:06:44.923 these things so here's the here's the thing. There are as you said 69 00:06:44.933 --> 00:06:51.321 a vendor. We can ask them to find different ways and. 70 00:06:52.601 --> 00:06:54.731 Other options for us to come to 71 00:06:54.741 --> 00:07:01.561 a point where we no longer incur. But we have to work with them we have to really 72 00:07:01.991 --> 00:07:06.581 as was mentioned earlier we have to have them here again to understand where we are 73 00:07:06.591 --> 00:07:10.291 this year there is nothing we can do for whatever happened through the last fiscal 74 00:07:10.301 --> 00:07:17.272 year so our concern right now is how we handle. This deficit and any other deficit 75 00:07:17.282 --> 00:07:21.974 or any other gap that may occur how do we handle those before they get to this 76 00:07:21.984 --> 00:07:26.004 magnitude and before really we have to have them through town meeting because we 77 00:07:26.014 --> 00:07:31.914 should be able to really identify and and take care of those as never occurring and 78 00:07:31.924 --> 00:07:37.334 that's where we are right now otherwise whatever deficit we will be talking about 79 00:07:37.344 --> 00:07:43.074 at the special town meeting is really passed right now other than. 80 00:07:44.114 --> 00:07:48.774 Taking care of those one way or another we really have no other option not through 81 00:07:48.784 --> 00:07:53.154 the vendor not through the school committee because those were really it's 82 00:07:53.164 --> 00:07:59.207 humiliating deficits through the last several years doesn't help you know your 83 00:07:59.217 --> 00:08:06.191 sponsor structure as you know now and if we do it is I mean it's as far 84 00:08:06.201 --> 00:08:13.174 as the they can pursue academic interest will 85 00:08:13.184 --> 00:08:18.186 be interested in laying out yes and so they base their number you leave does no do 86 00:08:18.196 --> 00:08:21.806 you know he doesn't do well actually gets numbers from us whatever we have Yeah we 87 00:08:21.816 --> 00:08:23.546 report that as a Myth 3 times 88 00:08:23.556 --> 00:08:28.326 a year starting out in October that's how they know it you know he does not really 89 00:08:28.416 --> 00:08:33.556 tell us what are the Romans is going to be for the following year OK Well Question 90 00:08:34.528 --> 00:08:39.659 What's your participate which was in the distinction between actually have the 91 00:08:39.669 --> 00:08:45.340 highest participation rate in our area. We're just we're just the ones that know 92 00:08:45.350 --> 00:08:49.230 but we're still over 60 percent to 60 or more so I think for this case that's OK 93 00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:53.540 right now I was going to tell your friends it's I think it's sort of like you for 94 00:08:53.550 --> 00:08:57.860 your you know I don't have the results with me it's not like it's on the monthly 95 00:08:57.870 --> 00:09:00.631 results that show I was broke and they let you have 96 00:09:00.641 --> 00:09:07.542 a percentage of being reduced that. Will do what 97 00:09:07.962 --> 00:09:12.892 what what what he's. Called 98 00:09:18.143 --> 00:09:24.975 for to you so you're just here just to be on the thing about you know I wanted to 99 00:09:25.345 --> 00:09:32.116 share with you these are. Very highly regulated services when it comes to watch in 100 00:09:32.126 --> 00:09:38.726 fact because all the way to the National Mall and then next right. So from that 101 00:09:38.736 --> 00:09:41.806 perspective for instance the question that you're asking whether or not the free 102 00:09:41.816 --> 00:09:48.176 reduced lunch is. Reflective of what our needs are like they have to be because 103 00:09:48.186 --> 00:09:54.316 we're written legally bound to be able to provide these services to students. After 104 00:09:54.326 --> 00:09:59.027 a certain amount of income you know could be improved part of this there's the 105 00:09:59.037 --> 00:10:02.499 issue to be very clear yes there's been 106 00:10:02.509 --> 00:10:08.671 a change in how that's come it's now so serious as per I have regrets so 107 00:10:09.521 --> 00:10:14.925 if families are not willing to reach out for those services then we do have 108 00:10:15.225 --> 00:10:21.687 difficulty in providing support through free and reduced lunch but it is incumbent 109 00:10:21.730 --> 00:10:22.950 I think on us as 110 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.711 a school district to do. We'll discuss that in their hurry and see why people are 111 00:10:28.821 --> 00:10:29.531 just kind of you 112 00:10:29.541 --> 00:10:34.911 a few years ago 2 years ago stated committed to the system or schools are now on. 113 00:10:36.011 --> 00:10:40.591 The names of students right in your district who are directly certified right so 114 00:10:40.641 --> 00:10:42.421 that right now are getting 115 00:10:42.581 --> 00:10:46.921 a jury of the students receive free lunch received through the drug certification 116 00:10:47.011 --> 00:10:52.571 process so it's not we like in the past was you come to department parent fill out 117 00:10:52.581 --> 00:10:56.521 paperwork or they didn't get it right now the jury pool the people get it they're 118 00:10:56.531 --> 00:11:00.271 getting it because the state cost is not as you like on the parent so I would say 119 00:11:00.281 --> 00:11:05.601 that right now we're better position of capturing those people who we were 5 years 120 00:11:05.611 --> 00:11:11.344 ago they didn't correct they're going to scrub so we're going right now the worst 121 00:11:11.354 --> 00:11:12.734 of your school in our guard. 122 00:11:19.548 --> 00:11:23.578 So is this some percent said richest nation in school it's got nothing out of style 123 00:11:23.588 --> 00:11:26.548 so when I say it's was already some of the last ones there is 124 00:11:26.558 --> 00:11:31.578 a nation we face is going to separate the 5 percent it's about that $61.00 and 125 00:11:31.588 --> 00:11:38.259 Westray is up for this year and will be 126 00:11:38.269 --> 00:11:44.684 present again as others have to. Again on 127 00:11:44.744 --> 00:11:51.607 a particular story so that is one thing that we we can say you know accept 128 00:11:51.909 --> 00:11:58.399 that we are asking these questions and whereas in the past there were no there was 129 00:11:58.409 --> 00:12:05.250 no communication ever so there were no meetings with us Karen Wells other than to 130 00:12:05.260 --> 00:12:11.883 get me through the cycle connection so we try by the work journals responsibility 131 00:12:11.893 --> 00:12:18.153 is one thing and finance for the traditional experience there for money at cards or 132 00:12:18.163 --> 00:12:24.996 anything like that here expected very effectively pay for something that 133 00:12:25.006 --> 00:12:31.831 would rate that full full price range or. Well that depends 134 00:12:31.891 --> 00:12:36.971 when you just asked about the reduced lunch program if that's if you haven't 135 00:12:36.981 --> 00:12:37.771 qualifies for 136 00:12:37.781 --> 00:12:44.431 a period. We can get money or the forms you have to money through the state right. 137 00:12:45.651 --> 00:12:50.233 And rest of it is through. Lunch 138 00:12:52.674 --> 00:12:56.854 money it doesn't students are spending and that is determined by 139 00:12:56.864 --> 00:13:01.804 a few factors and one of them is actually the Federal it just went to those rates 140 00:13:01.814 --> 00:13:08.064 and just every so often they come here to ask us for approval to raise 141 00:13:08.684 --> 00:13:15.517 prices of school lunch but they do yes you do get there because you 142 00:13:15.527 --> 00:13:15.887 said there are 143 00:13:15.897 --> 00:13:21.889 a vendor so they get they are in there so as I was saying they were trying to say 144 00:13:21.899 --> 00:13:28.262 that they are cold and all but we are requesting we are 145 00:13:28.272 --> 00:13:33.992 requesting and we are getting out monthly numbers so that we can really need 146 00:13:34.002 --> 00:13:38.352 a sense for them to need to be. Well they're starting to make more sense than they 147 00:13:38.362 --> 00:13:45.262 did in the past OK because we are requesting we're we're requesting what we can 148 00:13:45.272 --> 00:13:51.836 see as far as the reporting goes. So you know we 149 00:13:52.076 --> 00:13:58.146 we obviously can't be responsible for 567 years ago but it still falls under our 150 00:13:58.186 --> 00:14:02.036 purview didn't work trying to wrap our heads around it and figure out how we can 151 00:14:03.427 --> 00:14:08.597 turn these deficit it is important to know that we are not the only school district 152 00:14:08.607 --> 00:14:13.947 in the area that are facing deficit you know doesn't make it any better it just 153 00:14:13.957 --> 00:14:20.769 puts us in line unfortunately with other districts in disaster 154 00:14:20.779 --> 00:14:25.320 one last question of your play so the point is you know people ask us we need them 155 00:14:25.330 --> 00:14:28.481 your lunch they've they paid for yes there's 156 00:14:28.491 --> 00:14:34.582 a little credit that you were there is this is 157 00:14:34.592 --> 00:14:37.790 a credit extended eventually to the. Which was 158 00:14:37.800 --> 00:14:41.990 a credit extended thing I don't know what you want to do you want to split your 159 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:47.320 world right will be forgiving realities that are great on line so I'm a parent of 160 00:14:47.330 --> 00:14:52.160 a high schooler So what I do is I go into my son's account and I put money on his 161 00:14:52.170 --> 00:14:55.890 account and then I get notified when his account is low or he's running 162 00:14:55.900 --> 00:15:01.310 a deficit so that I have to go in replenish that and shore up the deficit if there 163 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.040 is one you know you're not sure would be what the problem is but I think you start 164 00:15:05.050 --> 00:15:11.510 a $10.00 deficit and stop serving lunch and they send another notice. To the home 165 00:15:11.520 --> 00:15:15.580 of the students saying that you don't have any more funds loved you have to 166 00:15:15.590 --> 00:15:19.410 replenish their systems and like lots of people say that it's all these people 167 00:15:19.420 --> 00:15:25.662 always money and I think yeah I don't know nor do I think you know you want to hear 168 00:15:25.672 --> 00:15:31.573 that your program thank you. Very 169 00:15:32.403 --> 00:15:37.723 well we're happy we have one of his attorneys time to have this all something. 170 00:15:43.435 --> 00:15:47.705 We're not going to have our student read this evening as we have some other issues 171 00:15:47.715 --> 00:15:52.705 to cover we have a new business in fact this is somewhat of 172 00:15:52.715 --> 00:15:56.605 a one off the right from last time but we decided to take 173 00:15:56.615 --> 00:16:01.715 a look at that time this is related to the rules for coalition conversation that we 174 00:16:01.725 --> 00:16:06.157 had. I know that. In 175 00:16:06.167 --> 00:16:10.827 a very not hearing one of time. Did you get 176 00:16:10.837 --> 00:16:14.638 a chance to look at what was posted one. 177 00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:22.520 So let me just put it to the committee and are there any question raised especially 178 00:16:22.530 --> 00:16:29.021 with respect to the resolution that we are we are considering strong. 179 00:16:30.612 --> 00:16:37.485 Support of the Massachusetts rule pools cool with all of the work 180 00:16:37.965 --> 00:16:44.635 . Congress did to. Question. 181 00:16:48.191 --> 00:16:54.213 The actual board that was hit from the thing is very thorough 182 00:16:55.164 --> 00:17:02.067 it does seem to capture the resolution Yes And so 183 00:17:02.107 --> 00:17:05.517 given good documentation for last week there is 184 00:17:05.527 --> 00:17:11.817 a one sheet action which really defines rules rules and I think it's the bridge 185 00:17:11.827 --> 00:17:12.837 between the report 186 00:17:13.557 --> 00:17:20.527 a definition of early schools and what the coalition resolution is about and so the 187 00:17:20.537 --> 00:17:27.317 2 doctors together help to fine wine little schools for and for the Commonwealth 188 00:17:27.747 --> 00:17:32.678 and why were the schools are combining in order to have 189 00:17:33.158 --> 00:17:38.828 a voice at the legislative table to say you know Chapter 7 funding really does need 190 00:17:38.838 --> 00:17:43.668 to take into consideration the special needs and the benefits are for all schools 191 00:17:43.978 --> 00:17:50.658 and the stress and strain of what we're encountering mostly in Western Mass 192 00:17:52.270 --> 00:17:59.024 so I'm hearing there's another page here yes it was in 193 00:17:59.034 --> 00:18:04.524 last week's And it just what it does is it defines world schools in the benefit of 194 00:18:04.534 --> 00:18:10.944 little schools and sets the stage for why you should be paying attention to the 195 00:18:11.226 --> 00:18:16.826 circumstances that face the regional works districts with diverse populations 196 00:18:16.836 --> 00:18:21.999 population densities they're very diverse the transportation needs in those 197 00:18:22.009 --> 00:18:28.459 districts and the resolution really is about establishing equity throughout the 198 00:18:28.469 --> 00:18:35.360 commonwealth for districts had it been more 199 00:18:35.370 --> 00:18:42.210 student in this case as opposed to. Yes it it 200 00:18:42.470 --> 00:18:47.860 didn't get into that just yet on every I had the same reaction so we had 201 00:18:47.870 --> 00:18:53.350 a conversation I think that the way the resolution was put together it sounds very 202 00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:58.340 generic and it doesn't really point to the significance of the coalition or what 203 00:18:58.350 --> 00:19:03.590 it's trying to accomplish even during the Great conversation that we had Cheryl was 204 00:19:03.600 --> 00:19:10.150 able to articulate why this makes sense why it makes sense to put 205 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:16.980 our. Districts together as we are representing what our needs are the fact that 206 00:19:17.540 --> 00:19:17.980 there is 207 00:19:18.290 --> 00:19:23.310 a lot of inequality in equity in the way certain forms are shared how we are 208 00:19:23.630 --> 00:19:27.990 challenge in different ways then urban schools are suburban schools it is not 209 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.180 really addressing this resolution which is unfortunate it would have been very nice 210 00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:37.940 . So when you look at the other sheet at least it highlights the importance of the 211 00:19:38.270 --> 00:19:42.390 rule schools and when you put internet context then the resolution itself makes 212 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:46.780 more sense so we said let's just put those 2 together and approve it as one idea 213 00:19:46.790 --> 00:19:50.851 and that was just the resolution doesn't make sense for everybody 214 00:19:56.661 --> 00:20:01.292 yet and honestly just to be together if you really want 215 00:20:03.792 --> 00:20:10.044 but I wanted to read it was curious and yet you can also post it on our most and I 216 00:20:10.054 --> 00:20:15.877 guess blank reading this one without reading the other pages let me tell. 217 00:20:16.997 --> 00:20:23.749 You don't think it will be well I don't need this there's very much of Yes Yes So 218 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:29.280 I'll just post both of them to you. Just 219 00:20:29.290 --> 00:20:33.760 a quick question since you've been in contact with these folks Cheryl maybe you 220 00:20:33.770 --> 00:20:38.610 know the answer to this one would say whereas schools should be accessible to 221 00:20:38.620 --> 00:20:44.981 students homes are we talking about say parents being able to connect with the 222 00:20:45.021 --> 00:20:50.071 school community or come to the school looking. And he did what he said word even 223 00:20:50.081 --> 00:20:54.901 is not really as easy to understand so and again I think it's clarify what 224 00:21:00.821 --> 00:21:07.461 you know I think aside from. Our picking us because yes I do think it's being 225 00:21:07.471 --> 00:21:12.271 picky at all like it was the night between the right all right all right full. 226 00:21:13.721 --> 00:21:18.321 Criticism of some things if you know today I think the idea is to show that we are 227 00:21:18.331 --> 00:21:23.631 supporting this coalition and we are supporting the idea behind it and as I believe 228 00:21:23.641 --> 00:21:25.051 Mike said last time we're going to hear 229 00:21:25.061 --> 00:21:30.324 a lot more from them as we become one of the districts that support us. 230 00:21:33.585 --> 00:21:36.777 So if there are no reports change is there 231 00:21:36.787 --> 00:21:43.549 a motion to. Approve the relation in support of Massachusetts rules 232 00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:47.320 schools is there 233 00:21:47.330 --> 00:21:54.263 a 2nd Thank you. So with the addition of 234 00:21:54.273 --> 00:22:00.203 the 2nd page to this resolution. All in favor or to approve the resolution or 235 00:22:00.213 --> 00:22:07.084 support of Massachusetts rural schools police say hi. And thank you Cheryl 236 00:22:07.094 --> 00:22:14.066 for bringing us here we do after all 237 00:22:14.076 --> 00:22:20.767 right now we're trying to our whole business which 238 00:22:20.777 --> 00:22:25.048 is primarily our standing items let's go with B.S. 239 00:22:25.058 --> 00:22:30.038 If you're playing with your line of work shop on the one fortunately we had to 240 00:22:30.048 --> 00:22:31.648 reschedule because of the better yet. 241 00:22:42.630 --> 00:22:49.555 530 day I will get straight to Casey again Monday 242 00:22:49.645 --> 00:22:50.215 February. 243 00:23:03.709 --> 00:23:07.782 Still the same time I have 532830 but. 244 00:23:18.025 --> 00:23:24.827 Nancy if you can we ask. Dorothy if there is anything that we should start 245 00:23:24.837 --> 00:23:30.610 thinking about soon become of the more prepared the conversation all the more she 246 00:23:30.620 --> 00:23:37.022 realized you said of us that you would she wish she would ask.

Well I don't 254 00:24:18.511 --> 00:24:18.711 have 255 00:24:18.721 --> 00:24:22.581 a formal budget date for this meeting because you're shivering after the 2nd meeting 256 00:24:22.591 --> 00:24:29.222 so I was here discussion about 257 00:24:29.282 --> 00:24:35.584 those based on questions that come up. Based on what is likely. 258 00:24:36.724 --> 00:24:40.434 To be there to be able to discuss those are the only answer questions. 259 00:24:44.336 --> 00:24:51.117 There are any questions. So when we when is it 260 00:24:51.237 --> 00:24:56.307 that we get to discuss the meeting for last night is that something that we discuss 261 00:24:56.317 --> 00:25:01.571 Yeah sure we can do. Things that are there. Yes 262 00:25:06.552 --> 00:25:12.543 Mark if you have anything we can go over that or if you want me to just go over 263 00:25:13.343 --> 00:25:16.513 what my understanding is I can do that based on 264 00:25:16.673 --> 00:25:22.134 a few conversations and I had and when I heard yesterday you know I. You know I 265 00:25:22.144 --> 00:25:28.605 would get your response to these articles or. Other towns cited in the basic 266 00:25:28.695 --> 00:25:33.035 premise of the as we read them is that you know there are there were transactions 267 00:25:33.045 --> 00:25:39.555 that occurred on the school side in terms of transfers where balances lie that may 268 00:25:39.565 --> 00:25:43.205 not have been completed on the town side so couple of the articles which will 269 00:25:43.525 --> 00:25:48.567 choice and circuit breaker as the others I was basically to get money were 270 00:25:49.508 --> 00:25:54.560 originally expected to be to be placed so you know the schools that we take 271 00:25:54.570 --> 00:25:58.070 a look at that school choice and circuit breaker those accounts have positive 272 00:25:58.080 --> 00:26:03.180 balances so there but on the. On the town side the money doesn't work out versus 273 00:26:03.190 --> 00:26:08.840 another and was not shown the same else is based on the out process and the others 274 00:26:08.850 --> 00:26:15.010 came up with that that gets them back to where they have to be from services are 275 00:26:15.020 --> 00:26:20.001 kind of just talking about is another matter you know there was there's been some 276 00:26:20.391 --> 00:26:21.321 good service is not really 277 00:26:21.331 --> 00:26:25.091 a profit but I think we've been doing some research on the school side to see you 278 00:26:25.101 --> 00:26:29.761 know that there's been some items and some discussion to try to address those with 279 00:26:29.771 --> 00:26:31.841 some revenues going back for 280 00:26:31.851 --> 00:26:35.731 a few years but at least other towns that we have this deficit at this point it 281 00:26:35.741 --> 00:26:41.332 needs to be addressed and you know they are move forward in terms of maintaining or 282 00:26:41.342 --> 00:26:46.432 at least they start school committees directive look at food service as 283 00:26:46.442 --> 00:26:50.903 a 0 sum game in terms of it's better or the deficit is 284 00:26:50.913 --> 00:26:56.826 a directive to do with make sure that ones are available to 285 00:26:57.989 --> 00:27:03.871 have that help why do I get I guess for me and I think for 286 00:27:03.881 --> 00:27:06.601 a lot of people in town it's very hard to understand how 287 00:27:06.611 --> 00:27:13.351 a deficit and I still cannot put my head around how 288 00:27:14.001 --> 00:27:15.991 I don't understand it I would like 289 00:27:16.031 --> 00:27:21.401 a better understanding an explanation in very late term so that now I do understand 290 00:27:21.411 --> 00:27:25.451 it that people on the other side of him do because we're getting asked down to 291 00:27:25.461 --> 00:27:32.082 public how to have that happen and I'm like Oh so I would 292 00:27:32.322 --> 00:27:33.122 really appreciate 293 00:27:33.132 --> 00:27:38.734 a better explanation of how does that happen how was it allowed to why did it 294 00:27:40.126 --> 00:27:43.278 end and why where do we go from here because that's 295 00:27:43.648 --> 00:27:49.981 a lot among the leaders of the last few years who talk about this on connection you 296 00:27:49.991 --> 00:27:55.733 know with this 10000 dollars head you think is in our blood so how much of our 297 00:27:55.953 --> 00:28:02.194 budget actually has gone in to address that deficit so we did 298 00:28:02.204 --> 00:28:06.494 a history that I'd like to know that because I do like you like I said last night I 299 00:28:06.504 --> 00:28:11.041 was unaware of this. Maybe I missed something but you know who was aware of his 300 00:28:11.251 --> 00:28:15.581 health and we didn't know that that is the only known you can't begin I thought it 301 00:28:15.591 --> 00:28:20.132 was as I said last night I thought it was when we had our own program but the 302 00:28:20.142 --> 00:28:26.345 deficits I saw back in 2007 were in the eat $9000.00 range and is not true that was 303 00:28:26.355 --> 00:28:32.435 not intended to just jumped up to the 6 figure in the bin yet I've been here 3 plus 304 00:28:32.445 --> 00:28:37.155 years I have no idea and what what did we miss here and I'm top of which only 305 00:28:37.165 --> 00:28:41.625 talking about this at the end of last year I'm pretty sure unless I have 306 00:28:41.635 --> 00:28:45.075 a really terrible memory which I usually don't get we were told that I don't 307 00:28:45.085 --> 00:28:49.696 understand it well and I don't understand I don't know what that means how can it 308 00:28:49.706 --> 00:28:55.549 be down who's going to decide now next Saturday some way or there's information is 309 00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:56.529 going to put 310 00:28:56.539 --> 00:29:02.319 a. Historically what has been there has been there $10000.00 contingency which for 311 00:29:02.329 --> 00:29:07.741 all intents and purposes is just but. It's been something that with the profit from 312 00:29:07.751 --> 00:29:14.341 church bells they have the budget control that there was in the city contents 313 00:29:14.771 --> 00:29:21.454 that when the reality. Hits it merely historically what has been the 314 00:29:21.464 --> 00:29:24.754 practice for they would do with back to read reviews and she was here and passed 315 00:29:24.764 --> 00:29:30.894 the 1st test even when it was 1st year Charles or do you remember I mean best even 316 00:29:30.904 --> 00:29:37.638 for the budget I took the you know so it was administrative decision to freeze the 317 00:29:37.648 --> 00:29:42.628 budget to take care of any and all contingencies potentially that would come up and 318 00:29:42.638 --> 00:29:43.478 I was proposing 319 00:29:43.488 --> 00:29:49.109 a system food service. Then subsequent to that coming in the new year it would be 320 00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:50.689 sometime over the summer there would be 321 00:29:50.729 --> 00:29:57.420 a vote by the school committee to move and balance our budgets every request by 322 00:29:57.430 --> 00:30:04.042 expenses to various accounts starting in 2010 so to speak to that because I was 323 00:30:04.052 --> 00:30:10.620 a 1st year churls.

His fall your fall anybody so I'm just saying no I think you're 480 00:42:58.361 --> 00:43:05.351 a lot of assumptions made on down the line break when you did your part you assumed 481 00:43:05.361 --> 00:43:10.031 OK we've got this we've sent it we're not hearing anything Grasso numbers is good 482 00:43:10.041 --> 00:43:14.001 news right but we don't know what they were assuming they could have been looking 483 00:43:14.011 --> 00:43:18.522 at this and saying I don't agree with this I don't agree with you with these 484 00:43:18.532 --> 00:43:24.062 transfers of these numbers and for whatever reason the communication in go out and 485 00:43:24.072 --> 00:43:28.223 they just didn't do it and didn't tell us and didn't I don't know that I had I got 486 00:43:28.233 --> 00:43:30.063 it distilling that that happened but there is 487 00:43:30.073 --> 00:43:33.283 a piece something's missing there is nothing missing there's 488 00:43:33.293 --> 00:43:37.243 a lot missing so when you look into the related reviews all that yes I'll say we've 489 00:43:37.253 --> 00:43:41.923 been doing more of the reports but probably said good as in started until 2000 or 490 00:43:42.935 --> 00:43:47.785 so if we were there were so going forward would you say as far as what Jim saying I 491 00:43:47.795 --> 00:43:49.115 do know we do 492 00:43:49.125 --> 00:43:53.087 a reconciliation we should have caught it but I saw that in the school lunch 493 00:43:53.097 --> 00:43:58.957 a body of help that I kept going to affect the latest. And here the rain here that 494 00:43:59.057 --> 00:44:05.747 your orders came out there the staff orders and so I would say What about school 495 00:44:05.757 --> 00:44:12.673 lunch and I would say guys it's good here is likely we can get together of what 496 00:44:12.683 --> 00:44:18.113 it is that we did in the past to address still the fact that you're putting on 497 00:44:18.123 --> 00:44:22.443 a harder have referred to as a nothing was done whether you want to call it 498 00:44:22.453 --> 00:44:27.464 a prayer periodic sleep which is that you can do or something along the lines of I 499 00:44:27.474 --> 00:44:31.227 can't speak to you now I see you may hear from all the reports of what was 500 00:44:31.237 --> 00:44:35.777 discussed at the meeting last night and previously when this was discussed was 501 00:44:35.787 --> 00:44:41.377 there you know this deficit was called Code No they were just discussing as to how 502 00:44:41.387 --> 00:44:46.559 they want to deal with they were going to address this the address you have 503 00:44:46.569 --> 00:44:51.589 a final guess is in probably yes to a degree that it's 504 00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:58.521 a deficit or will you know there. Is not no. That's 505 00:44:58.531 --> 00:45:04.872 where some of the say respectfully disagree because every year since 2000 your 506 00:45:05.634 --> 00:45:10.777 action where the school board communication with before Mr Murtha asked for the 507 00:45:10.827 --> 00:45:17.448 votes from the doctor every 2 years we started getting reports in 2014 508 00:45:17.548 --> 00:45:22.268 so I look and see him do the reconciliations and see that we're off to 509 00:45:22.278 --> 00:45:27.789 a service I know it's from here if you leave it up so there is no way you would you 510 00:45:27.799 --> 00:45:34.531 know Chicken Little. How can you believe on this planet United I feel like 511 00:45:35.141 --> 00:45:40.861 we need to go there with proof that that we tried at least. That you tried to do 512 00:45:41.151 --> 00:45:44.511 what you wish was well there's no way we can show this meeting on the night not 513 00:45:44.851 --> 00:45:50.251 produce an exemption that demonstrate I think that you know our part correct and 514 00:45:50.401 --> 00:45:54.241 that's what I'm saying again I think the only way 1st of all that you know stalk me 515 00:45:54.251 --> 00:45:58.291 doesn't get lynched at this point because you know we're going to have 516 00:46:00.903 --> 00:46:05.503 nothing like this happening and I think that I mean I don't like pointing fingers 517 00:46:05.513 --> 00:46:11.834 anywhere the name body else but it needs to be shown that on this side you at least 518 00:46:11.844 --> 00:46:14.594 for the most part were doing what you should have been doing should you 519 00:46:14.604 --> 00:46:20.434 benchmarking probably nature of done maybe but not have you know it wasn't going to 520 00:46:20.444 --> 00:46:24.534 happen very you know I mean at this point you just have to figure out where to go 521 00:46:24.544 --> 00:46:30.564 to here but I think we have to go to prove that you know we were doing our job you 522 00:46:30.574 --> 00:46:37.004 know the kind of school that he was doing by something wasn't happening in the SO 523 00:46:37.014 --> 00:46:43.256 when you. Yelled or said the senator may show off. 524 00:46:44.436 --> 00:46:49.539 What was customary superintending Have you had was any who were not going to school 525 00:46:49.549 --> 00:46:56.541 due to the turn of this material to go with their regular 526 00:46:56.551 --> 00:47:02.970 readers of the or I would say it's her. You know or she would 9 times out of 527 00:47:03.540 --> 00:47:10.420 her $72.00. With copies of the roots you know or you know yours or others 528 00:47:10.950 --> 00:47:16.750 who are in this it's one of the documents of sheer somewhere you know is of the in 529 00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:22.930 this field is to work in the store where recapping the whole service discussions 530 00:47:22.940 --> 00:47:28.310 that have occurred so has this as these discussions have occurred any going back is 531 00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:29.140 of one US is 532 00:47:29.150 --> 00:47:36.012 a while. What was the explanation as to why he was raised 533 00:47:36.022 --> 00:47:41.742 transfers were down on the town side I got those that are without are too numerous 534 00:47:41.812 --> 00:47:47.224 to. Share the communication or whatever. 535 00:47:48.986 --> 00:47:54.746 Over the other there are those of the kids but I got. In the way how is it now or 536 00:47:54.756 --> 00:47:59.786 did you mean I can't think of you know just on the sessions that there were this. 537 00:48:01.406 --> 00:48:04.656 Comes the food service there as though it's 538 00:48:04.666 --> 00:48:11.467 a normal communication where probably between her and her yes I do 539 00:48:11.477 --> 00:48:12.517 agree with you know 540 00:48:12.527 --> 00:48:17.457 a bill or with regards to getting the mail stuff was there ever 541 00:48:17.987 --> 00:48:24.759 a sit down crossed the table discussions so we'll get out of his e-mail stuff that 542 00:48:25.479 --> 00:48:29.649 you know you can ask her if you're not you know here. They were meeting or it was 543 00:48:29.659 --> 00:48:35.510 Mr Malley Mr Murray myself to direct indirect or over here. You know we set the 544 00:48:35.610 --> 00:48:42.050 trail go through it we'll come to some sort of approach to your group. Of deficit. 545 00:48:43.490 --> 00:48:44.730 And what you know notice what was 546 00:48:44.740 --> 00:48:50.010 a deficit at that point they were down by $75.00 and what do you mean to no avail 547 00:48:50.430 --> 00:48:55.730 to go for it was but that was the 1st lady green upon that what was their 548 00:48:55.740 --> 00:49:00.760 explanation as to why the translators were made today not agree with it did 549 00:49:00.770 --> 00:49:07.100 a variation of their belief there that issue with her because her before. 550 00:49:08.370 --> 00:49:13.640 And so that started the discussion regarding the overtones of the bill. That I want 551 00:49:13.650 --> 00:49:18.580 to muddy the waters. With you we haven't been touring that is the U.S. 552 00:49:18.580 --> 00:49:20.220 . So there is 553 00:49:20.230 --> 00:49:26.810 a difference to say we're churls profit was shows that. With their bills there's 554 00:49:27.040 --> 00:49:33.941 sort of those inventories purchased that has been expensed you know that is as 555 00:49:33.951 --> 00:49:37.881 good as it was so you're all walked out of that meeting with 556 00:49:37.891 --> 00:49:43.551 a $71000.00 you know that the topic of the meeting was one thing walk out of the 557 00:49:43.561 --> 00:49:48.551 meeting with no resolution on that topic correct but no discussion but even before 558 00:49:48.561 --> 00:49:54.852 that there were transfers that you said this week when you voted to address them 559 00:49:55.342 --> 00:50:00.122 so if you didn't see that at that point why wasn't that didn't leave their intel 560 00:50:00.292 --> 00:50:01.682 someone agrees you know that there's 561 00:50:01.692 --> 00:50:06.772 a transfer was made sure going to end in the wires that understanding of I was 562 00:50:06.782 --> 00:50:12.524 really really doing great but it was go. They went and so they go work they were in 563 00:50:12.534 --> 00:50:17.356 the Europeans research for it and now I'm looking at this big event Monday night 564 00:50:17.366 --> 00:50:21.136 because of that because I work on I can't believe that that's just there that's 565 00:50:21.146 --> 00:50:25.889 just unbelievable to me and I'm sure if any citizen sees I would say the same thing 566 00:50:26.019 --> 00:50:26.469 you got 567 00:50:26.479 --> 00:50:32.821 a ticket in and you. Yes just wish that they would say they are still you know but 568 00:50:33.551 --> 00:50:35.611 you know I guess the thing is that you know there was 569 00:50:35.621 --> 00:50:36.961 a little bit of I want to say 570 00:50:36.971 --> 00:50:43.291 a throwaway he comes up with every year or repeating this every years or here that 571 00:50:43.301 --> 00:50:49.823 provided the data. To the world so when you look at 572 00:50:49.833 --> 00:50:52.883 a good way 13 years with weather there we can get you 573 00:50:52.893 --> 00:50:58.494 a cup you see of it from the winter it's well earlier I don't think I could have 574 00:50:58.504 --> 00:51:03.284 been more explicit in saying that I strongest you rebuild your house doing how it 575 00:51:03.294 --> 00:51:10.254 was here and we have those I have 13 but have been looking for 14 in the hope that 576 00:51:10.414 --> 00:51:15.584 we can produce that we you know well we need to go back fire them just ask me how I 577 00:51:15.594 --> 00:51:20.314 mean this is been going on well but you show your hood you say to the oiler go with 578 00:51:20.324 --> 00:51:23.814 the arrow it just works the way I've heard of them eons ago where it was going to 579 00:51:23.824 --> 00:51:28.904 be discussed I had to go directly to Mr scale of the office to get it so that we 580 00:51:28.914 --> 00:51:34.486 could respond 30 there to 513 was over conciliation to have to makes it 581 00:51:34.496 --> 00:51:36.726 a country with the fact that we do work it's 582 00:51:36.736 --> 00:51:43.217 a huge prior to that white 13 and wing of the boy 13 years ago we were the we were 583 00:51:43.227 --> 00:51:43.677 provided 584 00:51:43.687 --> 00:51:48.548 a record from the time we were there we request movie work and their disturbances 585 00:51:48.558 --> 00:51:55.490 to go forward in the our own Youssif and to 586 00:51:55.500 --> 00:52:01.890 stand this and whatever I'm going to say is really my my point of view I didn't 587 00:52:02.060 --> 00:52:08.654 really. Want to have was right as your conversation but 588 00:52:08.664 --> 00:52:13.834 since at least we are getting into some details of it let me just ask 589 00:52:13.844 --> 00:52:20.636 a few questions in fact to start with this even this conversation along. From my 590 00:52:20.646 --> 00:52:26.196 perspective is one of the indicators of why I Things are not working because we're 591 00:52:26.206 --> 00:52:31.111 having our conversations around this table right here. And then if we are lucky 592 00:52:31.121 --> 00:52:34.751 enough we go through some of the conversation on that side those who should be 593 00:52:34.761 --> 00:52:39.612 talking to each other not talking to each it's not really our job to go line by 594 00:52:39.622 --> 00:52:46.442 line through everything to make sure that those those 2 ledgers 595 00:52:47.142 --> 00:52:53.915 reconcile or thereabouts I do understand your point about the close outs and all 596 00:52:53.925 --> 00:52:58.296 that because that's typically And I think that was Jim's point to typically say we 597 00:52:58.306 --> 00:53:01.856 have this much money to move here and so that ends at the end of the year we can be 598 00:53:01.866 --> 00:53:08.808 all good we can just be leveled I don't know based on some of the things that 599 00:53:08.818 --> 00:53:12.569 you shared and I'm actually looking at some of those right now since I think you 600 00:53:12.579 --> 00:53:17.709 sent them sometime today I don't know whether everybody really was talking about 601 00:53:17.989 --> 00:53:21.561 school lunch let's just assume that it was the case there is 602 00:53:21.571 --> 00:53:26.201 a think what I understand they so much are saying is that the 1st time we've heard 603 00:53:26.201 --> 00:53:28.921 . Through an audit about 604 00:53:28.961 --> 00:53:35.271 a lunch program deficit was in 2013 act the management report or letter to Mr 605 00:53:35.591 --> 00:53:42.531 please provide. So that would be reflective 606 00:53:42.571 --> 00:53:48.721 of the auditors assessment of all the books including our books and the town 607 00:53:48.731 --> 00:53:55.451 letters that. I did the letter of or group of or so actually you 608 00:53:55.921 --> 00:54:00.461 even went to the next step that I was going to if the the. 609 00:54:03.162 --> 00:54:05.284 Main record that we should be looking for is 610 00:54:05.294 --> 00:54:10.746 a town ledger and for whatever reason they are showing is not to say does that come 611 00:54:10.756 --> 00:54:15.498 back or did that come back to the school committee to say we got it so what we've 612 00:54:15.508 --> 00:54:21.182 done to close out there is still this pending deficit if we really have an 613 00:54:21.192 --> 00:54:24.242 opportunity and I'm saying that we can maybe 614 00:54:24.252 --> 00:54:30.792 a lot in fact none of it was here when this issue started which doesn't change the 615 00:54:30.802 --> 00:54:35.950 fact that we we have to be able to like to be the want to address it. I was hoping 616 00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:40.800 honestly that we would talk about how we will solve the problem instead we're 617 00:54:40.850 --> 00:54:44.140 basically trying to establish who was right who was wrong and I'm not sure that 618 00:54:44.150 --> 00:54:48.670 that's helping anybody the other thing is this great you asked the question I'd 619 00:54:48.680 --> 00:54:52.650 like answers not you I'm going to and I will follow up with don't want you know 620 00:54:52.660 --> 00:54:55.310 actually you know that if you want to start with that want to just start with that 621 00:54:56.042 --> 00:55:02.377 is OK And so we're going to change question you're asking me if the 622 00:55:02.457 --> 00:55:07.467 deficits in the 2013 the final lawyer year when there is 623 00:55:07.477 --> 00:55:14.228 a there's an audit report that shows the discrepancy between what we thought we had 624 00:55:14.238 --> 00:55:19.718 on our side versus what the talent has it's often so light I've never gotten the 2 625 00:55:19.728 --> 00:55:24.571 for you to stick with I only get them into the work that did not have the actual 626 00:55:24.581 --> 00:55:27.581 financial statements for sale that there isn't 627 00:55:27.591 --> 00:55:32.213 a better finings where it was do these accounts are and what are you supposed to 628 00:55:32.223 --> 00:55:33.273 merrily get 629 00:55:33.283 --> 00:55:37.263 a report that town that you know I think there are posts that are like little or 630 00:55:37.343 --> 00:55:42.043 Liverpool that it was not our business copy them to because again proper internal 631 00:55:42.053 --> 00:55:47.093 controls even though that the hollers come in the oil or the general with your turn 632 00:55:47.093 --> 00:55:53.935 . To the title I say this you know which schools are great which is why we have 633 00:55:53.945 --> 00:55:59.176 our own set of books we have all the phone numbers coming to us that we have for so 634 00:56:00.026 --> 00:56:00.226 there's 635 00:56:00.236 --> 00:56:04.626 a whole purpose of appearance alleviations the issue of the Talmud if you're in 636 00:56:04.636 --> 00:56:07.847 school or you agree with for there's 637 00:56:07.857 --> 00:56:14.027 a title you should choose to know now was there a town hot in here or a town on 638 00:56:14.037 --> 00:56:21.031 a process prior to 2013 foot OK sir is it doesn't 639 00:56:21.041 --> 00:56:26.171 the town honor when that person customarily know if there's 640 00:56:26.181 --> 00:56:31.883 a deficit from the school site and the town site is not part of the ongoing process 641 00:56:31.883 --> 00:56:38.531 . And so what would the town I know I don't know he would know the answer to this 642 00:56:38.541 --> 00:56:43.911 or any way but if it cannot here is I mean the box and see that there is 643 00:56:43.921 --> 00:56:50.021 a deficit what is the process that will that's where you get to do all the 2 things 644 00:56:50.031 --> 00:56:55.061 one you would be they would be depending on the material you from bicycling other 645 00:56:55.221 --> 00:56:59.651 than the other of them Tiriel you below would dictate whether or not it would rise 646 00:56:59.661 --> 00:57:05.074 to the level material or the horse you stated. 647 00:57:06.414 --> 00:57:12.775 Or were you what ends up happening is that when the town goes to certify its free 648 00:57:12.815 --> 00:57:19.145 cash the free cash is reduced by the deficits that are in them but prior to that 649 00:57:19.155 --> 00:57:24.896 with the town I are bringing to anybody's attention but yeah I would say yes they 650 00:57:24.906 --> 00:57:30.706 would have to do that with town audits is that the your provider says they have 651 00:57:31.346 --> 00:57:32.426 workers who get 652 00:57:32.436 --> 00:57:39.409 a trial balance from the tile of their general ledger showing their general form 653 00:57:39.419 --> 00:57:45.979 trial balance and for as fungible ones or about trust funds or it's for the SO. 654 00:57:47.529 --> 00:57:51.230 You have the words this or this this sounds to me like 655 00:57:51.240 --> 00:57:57.160 a communication breakdown on all levels OK even accusations of breakdown for 656 00:57:57.170 --> 00:58:02.532 everywhere so I would really really need to use and which goes well I guess I would 657 00:58:02.622 --> 00:58:08.875 echo in the sentiment of the words were most folks I honestly don't know are going 658 00:58:09.385 --> 00:58:15.156 to tell me to do with the color evidence in the hand of things that were done you 659 00:58:15.166 --> 00:58:20.936 know I know from ideas that were done or that in the schools we we do know are and 660 00:58:21.466 --> 00:58:24.227 is going to be from from him as 661 00:58:24.237 --> 00:58:30.047 a worker because. You know whether or not you are you know the finger pointing in 662 00:58:30.407 --> 00:58:37.100 your nose my way more of a blur. It's not productive to wear 663 00:58:37.110 --> 00:58:42.070 a dress in new what it is the issue is here and I also need to educate up how to 664 00:58:42.080 --> 00:58:47.550 make it not happen going forward and I not have to start Also yourself or who are 665 00:58:47.560 --> 00:58:50.750 saying that I understand you know that we have an interest around and you're 666 00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:55.600 getting more of the reports from friends or so you know it's the one thing clearly 667 00:58:55.610 --> 00:59:02.411 the most for your portfolio provided pro your word clear OK So you mean that you 668 00:59:03.262 --> 00:59:09.982 so. Having industry here to actually talk about is you know to me the step 3rd 669 00:59:09.992 --> 00:59:13.452 taken in place so that you know what I'll say also again and it's 670 00:59:13.462 --> 00:59:18.662 a philosophy of you know if you look at Charles contra do it in who administer the 671 00:59:18.672 --> 00:59:24.654 contract. And the reason why some of these things as far as concerns never rose to 672 00:59:24.664 --> 00:59:29.804 words to the rebels who is there the sphere of it's 673 00:59:29.814 --> 00:59:32.784 a doctor is been I'm the C.E.O. 674 00:59:33.717 --> 00:59:38.907 The you know I me an engine room so I will be the one that if you were to move your 675 00:59:38.917 --> 00:59:43.479 eyes you know bring your revenue and that recommendation played out as the middle 676 00:59:43.489 --> 00:59:49.091 he was always at it here the reclassification to address that and I think we 677 00:59:49.101 --> 00:59:49.461 addressed 678 00:59:49.471 --> 00:59:55.101 a lot of this and are you right that he had your partner we all sat down and we set 679 00:59:55.111 --> 01:00:01.211 up process in place right make sure that if there's no communication coming back to 680 01:00:01.221 --> 01:00:06.624 the town this are basically for the camera right to let people know that how we are 681 01:00:06.634 --> 01:00:11.774 moving forward so that if you are not getting communication you're not getting. 682 01:00:13.084 --> 01:00:19.595 Validation that you sent something more for. Your confirmation because like I said 683 01:00:19.605 --> 01:00:26.595 it was I think discussed the fact that the super committee. Be the 1st I will 684 01:00:26.605 --> 01:00:33.487 say the right to go to the recovery and say you know we've got to where are we 685 01:00:33.777 --> 01:00:34.647 you know X. Y. Z. 686 01:00:34.657 --> 01:00:41.581 I'm. Sick my 1st. And then you add in if all that 687 01:00:42.582 --> 01:00:49.514 is not successfully comes to the school. So yeah I 688 01:00:49.524 --> 01:00:54.004 would agree that I'm not so sure shelling out that this meeting saying we did our 689 01:00:54.014 --> 01:00:59.964 part. At the end of the day. You Siri are because you don't like it doesn't serve 690 01:01:00.004 --> 01:01:06.204 because we can't even establish what the process is for us to communicate what we 691 01:01:06.214 --> 01:01:10.904 have we have no way of saying this is our standard communication process and this 692 01:01:10.914 --> 01:01:14.434 is what we're doing each time this thing happens if I have even I don't know what 693 01:01:14.444 --> 01:01:19.004 we're doing to be very honest with us because you know the head is because of you 694 01:01:19.014 --> 01:01:22.794 and we have that special report where when you're probing you're working solution 695 01:01:22.804 --> 01:01:26.026 2062 S. Whatsoever Mr X. 696 01:01:26.066 --> 01:01:31.656 It's you know I get the July 3rd here you're all sorts of World War afterwards oh 697 01:01:31.706 --> 01:01:34.556 my work in television in toto there are 698 01:01:34.566 --> 01:01:41.456 a good solution if we agree 3 to 5 but it doesn't rise to the level of I'm 699 01:01:41.466 --> 01:01:48.316 6 when you see you 6 in the chair of the Interior I mean 6 Intruder you know 700 01:01:48.326 --> 01:01:51.856 so if that's not the communication we're talking about well it's communication but 701 01:01:51.866 --> 01:01:56.246 it's if you can understand we can't just any we can't you can't just communicate 702 01:01:56.256 --> 01:02:01.526 with the entire town for all we want we can just copy everybody was on our e-mail 703 01:02:01.536 --> 01:02:05.686 list that's not what we're talking about the communication to the sensual to be 704 01:02:05.696 --> 01:02:10.046 able to solve these problems are the communications that need to take place between 705 01:02:10.056 --> 01:02:14.537 those people who understand what's going on so for instance I agree with you at the 706 01:02:14.697 --> 01:02:19.917 executive RINGBACK level the would be Cheryl and Chris if the accountant gloat at 707 01:02:19.927 --> 01:02:24.417 this point in time it would be from my perspective you and Chris because you know 708 01:02:24.427 --> 01:02:28.777 we're matching the rules so I'm just trying to wrap my head around 709 01:02:28.787 --> 01:02:35.648 a few things one is one we met last year some 710 01:02:35.658 --> 01:02:38.951 time. And for the 1st time I saw that there was 711 01:02:38.961 --> 01:02:44.112 a 2nd waiting. Deficit it was 712 01:02:44.122 --> 01:02:50.374 a $1818.00 whatever that loan was so now we're looking at the latest 713 01:02:51.004 --> 01:02:58.004 numbers $170000.00 there was one quick. Explanation 714 01:02:58.054 --> 01:03:04.104 as to how that grew and I'm not going to go into the details but if you look at 715 01:03:04.524 --> 01:03:09.514 that thing and I'm going to tell you what I'm talking about you put public it says 716 01:03:09.704 --> 01:03:13.875 Tata Granby school lunch fund F Y 2060 it's 717 01:03:13.885 --> 01:03:19.387 a very quick summary of what came and what was so in very general terms and this 718 01:03:19.397 --> 01:03:24.917 probably would have helped that I believe right earlier the visitor who was at his 719 01:03:24.927 --> 01:03:31.657 most questions we generated about $2215000.00 plus in revenue through sales 720 01:03:32.117 --> 01:03:37.987 we received about hiring $23000.00 plus he says claims but my understanding is that 721 01:03:37.997 --> 01:03:42.227 for free and reduced lunch program I'm not even going to get there and there are 722 01:03:42.237 --> 01:03:49.117 some small or small items after that but that adds up to about $336000.00 or 723 01:03:49.127 --> 01:03:55.447 so or $337000.00 as ready one to look at the chart while 724 01:03:55.457 --> 01:04:00.137 contractors services alone how much we're paying them for the services it's over 725 01:04:00.147 --> 01:04:05.837 $380000.00 that's what the cost of the services that's what they're charging has no 726 01:04:05.847 --> 01:04:11.168 problem but with between those 2 numbers on we're looking at 727 01:04:11.178 --> 01:04:18.030 4344000 dollars in deficit so what I'm trying to 728 01:04:18.040 --> 01:04:22.720 wrap my head around when we had this conversation did we are we saying that we 729 01:04:22.730 --> 01:04:29.260 actually had some conversations where we transfer funds to cover 445000 dollars 730 01:04:29.540 --> 01:04:32.330 last year is that I mean something that we did it was 731 01:04:32.340 --> 01:04:38.250 a part of our team process it didn't happen last. Still have this question 732 01:04:38.260 --> 01:04:42.060 regarding what is the actual amount of this this discussion if you look 733 01:04:42.070 --> 01:04:46.030 a lot of things they said was Ready we're waiting for your letters to come in the 734 01:04:46.430 --> 01:04:52.771 idea of some sort so I don't think in that I mean they will be here as far as 2016 735 01:04:52.851 --> 01:04:57.741 but you're in close out. I don't believe this here would be that you want to hear 736 01:04:57.751 --> 01:05:02.324 where we did that in that in the interest of the meeting that we have regarding 737 01:05:02.334 --> 01:05:09.224 this in the main meeting where where Scanlan said you know let's close the 738 01:05:09.234 --> 01:05:13.684 books as quickly as possible so that we can determine what it is that we need to do 739 01:05:13.694 --> 01:05:20.176 regarding the part so I'm going I guess I would say from the main meeting that we 740 01:05:20.186 --> 01:05:26.988 had. That was the plan of action or close the books get to your to the auditor and 741 01:05:26.998 --> 01:05:33.200 here so let me ask this if the purpose of moving those funds 742 01:05:33.820 --> 01:05:34.020 from 743 01:05:34.030 --> 01:05:38.540 a budget purse back then were either even at the end of the year or we have some 744 01:05:38.550 --> 01:05:42.300 deficit that we have to report to the town and ask for additional funds correct. 745 01:05:43.320 --> 01:05:48.922 Since we did not do that for one of these things my understanding is whatever 746 01:05:49.012 --> 01:05:54.052 movement of funds that occurred that was sufficient or if they incurred it all they 747 01:05:54.062 --> 01:05:59.132 were sufficient to allow us to say we're fine with within our budget we did is that 748 01:05:59.142 --> 01:06:03.232 the case were weak within our budget last year if you're cutting 16 the local 749 01:06:03.242 --> 01:06:09.533 programs OK but it gets our school budget local provoke about to guess what is this 750 01:06:09.543 --> 01:06:14.603 I don't know are budget all these school lunch lines and everything else is just 751 01:06:14.773 --> 01:06:14.933 that's 752 01:06:14.943 --> 01:06:22.334 a revolver is it part of our budget so none of this money actually is is depicted 753 01:06:22.344 --> 01:06:27.650 in our budget when we put the watch it together. So the expectation is that the 754 01:06:27.660 --> 01:06:34.450 revolving fund will respond to an expense of $380000.00 which seems to be pretty 755 01:06:34.490 --> 01:06:39.100 much on average $300.00 and starting with the year we had 756 01:06:39.110 --> 01:06:44.720 a deficit it worked around 36658000 which was the lowest in 757 01:06:44.730 --> 01:06:51.712 201-423-9700 extension 0 dollars yet the revenue is at this level but we were 758 01:06:51.722 --> 01:06:55.262 thinking that the revolving fund was going to be enough or that the focus really of 759 01:06:55.272 --> 01:06:58.892 the board of the reports already look at this is exactly what I'm trying to go so 760 01:06:58.902 --> 01:07:05.202 that tells me that someone has some house somewhere we reclassified something to be 761 01:07:05.212 --> 01:07:09.732 able to show that no we're still within our budget to move funds somewhere correct 762 01:07:10.462 --> 01:07:16.222 that so when you say that maybe last year we did not do it I can't understand why I 763 01:07:16.232 --> 01:07:19.052 would not have done it last year because you're going to listen to what the ledger 764 01:07:19.062 --> 01:07:24.862 is showing on our side was accountable to to to our own budget and to remain within 765 01:07:24.872 --> 01:07:29.582 it although I'm not sure why I would not have done something because I again I'm 766 01:07:29.592 --> 01:07:36.387 going based on opinion that it was the proportion orders was that because of the 767 01:07:36.637 --> 01:07:42.358 number of those involved and what it was that was agreed to was that in that I mean 768 01:07:42.368 --> 01:07:45.528 we go back to we were talking of a meeting of the members do we have 769 01:07:45.538 --> 01:07:51.659 a special town meeting before June 3rd to revenue to the town meeting in June or in 770 01:07:51.669 --> 01:07:56.209 what time it was determined at the time though let's wait and Chris Martin is going 771 01:07:56.219 --> 01:08:02.919 to see if he can work something out with your and so I look at it why 16000 of our 772 01:08:02.929 --> 01:08:08.920 legal but because of the requests for change based on that May we in the if all 773 01:08:08.930 --> 01:08:13.520 things go according to plan him absolutely we would have come to you you know when 774 01:08:13.530 --> 01:08:17.040 the books are closer as a end of August you know for the tailings of 775 01:08:17.050 --> 01:08:22.253 a war for your own clothes we were a company with you know we have 776 01:08:22.263 --> 01:08:28.580 a deficit here here's what we you know we have based on the final results. But I'm 777 01:08:28.590 --> 01:08:35.472 looking at 16 S. And cellulite but allow me to do 778 01:08:35.482 --> 01:08:40.754 to challenge YOUNG WOMAN one thing that I do understand that with all the movement 779 01:08:40.974 --> 01:08:47.584 of funds on our side I don't know look at our own books who say we're good we 780 01:08:48.364 --> 01:08:54.156 would love all that we don't have any deficit on this but then if it's 781 01:08:55.156 --> 01:09:01.728 true after 2013 would been receiving every port at least a letter in 782 01:09:01.738 --> 01:09:08.710 a while and that's sad we had these fairly substantial deficits. From 783 01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:15.261 the school lunch program yet when we were talking about the lunch program I think 784 01:09:15.271 --> 01:09:19.271 we were referring to what was happening on our side and not necessarily what we 785 01:09:19.281 --> 01:09:24.613 were seeing through the on of you for the period saying because if there were the 786 01:09:24.623 --> 01:09:30.343 case I don't I don't I think would have been talking about these fairly large 787 01:09:30.353 --> 01:09:37.238 deficits during one of our meetings. I would say we did one because 788 01:09:37.518 --> 01:09:44.379 I would say because I know it was one of them the report 789 01:09:44.389 --> 01:09:47.289 was to report out and discuss 790 01:09:53.378 --> 01:09:57.161 this but I do know it was Jim that asked what's been 791 01:10:03.772 --> 01:10:06.472 rehashed from the. Telegraph 792 01:10:13.834 --> 01:10:20.775 and who I have been more explicit system yes yes so the last 2 793 01:10:20.785 --> 01:10:27.516 things is primarily around this committee I'm not sure 794 01:10:27.526 --> 01:10:34.450 what. We're seeing these monthly reports but what I 795 01:10:34.460 --> 01:10:39.471 think you said is that there is really no end of year balance to the result correct 796 01:10:39.591 --> 01:10:46.055 or what I was saying is that. When we started to get these reports at one time 797 01:10:46.147 --> 01:10:52.217 there were no like beginning bell like in Revolver trials where all the revenue and 798 01:10:53.128 --> 01:10:58.122 so now I see the spear look through like the report you said this morning there are 799 01:10:58.302 --> 01:11:03.033 you know it looks like it's as a beginning but you will be 800 01:11:03.043 --> 01:11:09.753 a that is but again I go back to as I say 801 01:11:13.224 --> 01:11:17.310 I never. And I ordered 802 01:11:17.320 --> 01:11:21.260 a school and this one that's what we may get decision of saying that in the absence 803 01:11:21.270 --> 01:11:24.332 of getting accurate bell for 804 01:11:24.342 --> 01:11:31.227 a board here I look to the school records that we were going to go with 805 01:11:31.237 --> 01:11:33.259 here so when you talk 806 01:11:33.269 --> 01:11:36.830 a little more thing we're going to go for 16 clones of you say why we didn't 807 01:11:36.840 --> 01:11:40.161 believe ballots are 808 01:11:40.171 --> 01:11:45.492 a choice of the cup where would we come up with the funds to 809 01:11:50.843 --> 01:11:56.376 buy the fact that as we come to find out how our ballot is and school choice and 810 01:11:56.796 --> 01:12:02.966 even the spreadsheet in revolving Your Health we're actually so the normal process 811 01:12:02.976 --> 01:12:04.606 and we're going to do little more pressing 812 01:12:09.938 --> 01:12:14.170 reclassified it could save your lives are there 813 01:12:18.701 --> 01:12:24.686 a classic come out as out of the school lunch or avoid the cult because as we know 814 01:12:24.696 --> 01:12:29.237 now from the auditors that our records were correct we would have done just 815 01:12:31.389 --> 01:12:38.171 share something to tell me this What are you talking about I want them on here 2000 816 01:12:38.181 --> 01:12:43.503 left to come in if it 817 01:12:45.735 --> 01:12:50.636 is explained you are Monday prepared to close up just one just go ahead and imply 818 01:12:50.646 --> 01:12:53.999 he didn't know town voted fund so this will but it looked 819 01:12:54.009 --> 01:12:59.124 a special education unfortunately has come to my intention of the voter has mine is 820 01:12:59.134 --> 01:13:05.216 in deficit by $31700.00 more dollars however otherwise another segment unable 821 01:13:05.226 --> 01:13:09.788 enough to apply the difference to the service why deficit any point it appears that 822 01:13:09.958 --> 01:13:10.458 as we've heard 823 01:13:10.468 --> 01:13:14.810 a close up just won't let any other budget line drawn just went through the party 824 01:13:14.880 --> 01:13:16.310 be able to return to New Orleans 825 01:13:16.320 --> 01:13:22.890 a total of $18500.00 I'm down next and so did that occur 826 01:13:23.710 --> 01:13:25.430 I mean that's what I'm talking about that if you have 827 01:13:25.440 --> 01:13:31.310 a memo do it but if it didn't happen then one of the money go toward Well I would 828 01:13:31.320 --> 01:13:35.592 say get that so that when you're if you what theoretically carry this out if you 829 01:13:35.602 --> 01:13:37.982 want to see where did that money go to 830 01:13:41.404 --> 01:13:47.175 a different mechanism similar to the just with the US to the lunch deficit as you 831 01:13:47.465 --> 01:13:54.378 said to them and I want to we have to go back to me 832 01:13:54.388 --> 01:14:01.348 and did more of their reports and you stay believe that he don't agree with. 833 01:14:02.400 --> 01:14:07.540 Some hall most iota of reconciling activity is already in the bill saying in the 834 01:14:07.550 --> 01:14:12.352 absence of effect from the times in my communications with the auditors the balance 835 01:14:13.202 --> 01:14:19.845 is to diligence that I did this until we were told of 836 01:14:19.965 --> 01:14:25.256 Otherwise there's this point that oh I reconcile that 837 01:14:27.429 --> 01:14:31.349 So what would these not the reports come in and do we do want to think of them or 838 01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:34.920 just because they don't really correspondent 839 01:14:34.930 --> 01:14:40.031 a thing that we agree with they're not really helpful I mean you could be there 840 01:14:41.061 --> 01:14:41.251 it's 841 01:14:41.261 --> 01:14:45.733 a different culture Truxton and it's like here you there you say you miss accounting 842 01:14:45.743 --> 01:14:49.967 to build systems work tiles and so he said to you I was so well you know doing it 843 01:14:49.977 --> 01:14:56.818 overlook so workshy we're going to Mr the well being lovers on the tile done them 844 01:14:57.299 --> 01:15:00.819 I took the course but he'll be in the version of the school some of them you have 845 01:15:00.829 --> 01:15:06.971 to some of them total this is really very similar work so when we're doing the 846 01:15:06.981 --> 01:15:12.141 whole 60 the world. Will show you how it of the year of reconciliation 847 01:15:15.873 --> 01:15:20.483 run it may be someone asked him this I mean this is this is the communication and 848 01:15:20.523 --> 01:15:23.555 almost under former circumstances 849 01:15:23.565 --> 01:15:28.795 a trivial part of the front yard case it's becoming an issue of the knowledge and 850 01:15:28.805 --> 01:15:33.805 that we're not really reconciling to that one thing report I mean are we letting 851 01:15:33.815 --> 01:15:38.765 anybody know that Chris just like you are not reconciled with certain things on our 852 01:15:38.775 --> 01:15:42.025 side and you know there is you know I understand that you're going through the 853 01:15:42.035 --> 01:15:47.437 books and just you're doing certain but transfer we're looking at what's coming and 854 01:15:47.447 --> 01:15:51.858 what's going out and all that that's awesome I'm assuming similar activities take 855 01:15:51.868 --> 01:15:57.498 place on the town site and my understanding is that I mean I might be off Correct 856 01:15:57.508 --> 01:16:03.200 me if that's the case the monthly report reflects what the town is thinking as far 857 01:16:03.210 --> 01:16:09.261 as what's happening on this stuff what's spent one has received an all nighter. 858 01:16:10.191 --> 01:16:14.591 If this is not really helping are we communicating back you police acknowledge that 859 01:16:14.601 --> 01:16:15.061 you received 860 01:16:15.071 --> 01:16:19.751 a report and completely disagree with. I don't communicate very good here green 861 01:16:19.981 --> 01:16:25.714 because you say yes or as activity ways I do I mean they'll say there are some 862 01:16:25.724 --> 01:16:31.286 instances where whether it's you know somewhere in your own world when it comes 35 863 01:16:31.296 --> 01:16:38.106 $13500.00 Sure and deficit for there's another quarter of the missing you miss 864 01:16:38.116 --> 01:16:42.118 code section that's $3500.00 to the good you know it's clearly 865 01:16:42.128 --> 01:16:46.928 a posting thing one side or but bottom line was we have a 3 year we have 866 01:16:46.938 --> 01:16:51.049 a premium you know what I mean between getting the monthly reports to them agree 867 01:16:51.059 --> 01:16:57.152 with all the information that's coming from our or literally it's just totally 868 01:16:57.282 --> 01:17:03.435 different but this is almost going back to the suck I think that we've been talking 869 01:17:03.445 --> 01:17:08.295 about codes are matching codes are not matching and not just sound. 870 01:17:09.885 --> 01:17:14.275 Disrespectful it's made of the day because the conversations but happening for over 871 01:17:14.285 --> 01:17:19.075 a year now we're going to Carolus and I'm even offered in fact generally I just 872 01:17:19.085 --> 01:17:22.125 talked about it just you know she does data conversion for 873 01:17:22.135 --> 01:17:23.795 a living and you know I have 874 01:17:23.805 --> 01:17:26.925 a project experience on that between the 2 of leaving operate to look at what's 875 01:17:26.935 --> 01:17:32.235 there so maybe we can help our meet some of the process of waiting waiting waiting 876 01:17:32.245 --> 01:17:37.726 this is similar to this code doesn't match that this is not the only town that is 877 01:17:38.686 --> 01:17:43.636 having these problems if somebody else is able to reconcile their stuff using these 878 01:17:43.646 --> 01:17:46.986 columns I'm assuming that there is a way you hopefully for us to find 879 01:17:46.996 --> 01:17:49.126 a way to it seems like that's that remains 880 01:17:49.136 --> 01:17:51.546 a challenge right as well so good you've got 881 01:17:51.556 --> 01:17:56.688 a challenge for me because I can't I but because I've done that you know what 882 01:17:56.698 --> 01:17:58.438 exactly you do now you've done it for 883 01:17:58.448 --> 01:18:03.828 a lot of low bring everything to that group but low evilly where reconciling with 884 01:18:04.508 --> 01:18:08.228 the Sun I think our cost structure is that they're both very young was kind of 885 01:18:08.278 --> 01:18:10.301 investment. So it's not 886 01:18:10.311 --> 01:18:15.191 a struggle for me I reconcile with this code but I thought you just said earlier 887 01:18:15.201 --> 01:18:18.841 that you know the codes are different and therefore different but there so you are 888 01:18:18.851 --> 01:18:23.471 actually using the monthly reports to reconcile with your numbers and they never 889 01:18:23.481 --> 01:18:28.592 reconciled if you're in the balance to validate the beginning premier Li and in the 890 01:18:28.602 --> 01:18:33.783 world all your colleagues where you look and see what if you're looking for him so 891 01:18:33.793 --> 01:18:38.394 that maybe For example if you look at the grades for the schools yeah the tower 892 01:18:38.404 --> 01:18:44.805 records they still have that they were going that's 2000 years or whatever was it 893 01:18:44.815 --> 01:18:47.045 we did it was a so things like that so when I see 894 01:18:47.055 --> 01:18:53.766 a balance and agree of that I know because I reported this to you know bring it 895 01:18:53.776 --> 01:18:58.827 to and I was in there when Judy called prisons and Bill just making sure we see and 896 01:18:58.837 --> 01:19:04.218 that's what one of the things it was to that yes the child books they are showing 897 01:19:04.228 --> 01:19:09.551 that there's been this error on the left we know that the schools in the book but I 898 01:19:09.561 --> 01:19:13.841 think so but when you look at like the preschool revolving account that all the 899 01:19:13.851 --> 01:19:19.503 words probably go beginning balances where I say I don't I'm going back over if I 900 01:19:19.513 --> 01:19:24.025 reconcile the activity because I never agreed with the beginning bills and nor did 901 01:19:24.035 --> 01:19:30.076 my predecessor nor does this job because I trust that you did here's where I'm 902 01:19:30.086 --> 01:19:31.656 going with this just to make 903 01:19:31.666 --> 01:19:35.596 a full circle income tax member got me started he said that the town Ledger is 904 01:19:35.606 --> 01:19:42.047 a legend if you look at it so the town is sending out as numbers I'm assuming there 905 01:19:42.057 --> 01:19:44.967 is a presumption on that side that 906 01:19:44.977 --> 01:19:48.957 a cave we're this is what we see this is what we're sending if we do not really 907 01:19:48.967 --> 01:19:53.767 tell them that we do these numbers are not really matching what we have and 908 01:19:53.777 --> 01:19:59.787 therefore we're not going to really get to that does 0 at the end of the year how 909 01:19:59.797 --> 01:20:06.719 will we how do we solve this problem the answer 910 01:20:07.159 --> 01:20:14.110 to what. Is the solution I don't want to sound glib about it like you 911 01:20:14.120 --> 01:20:19.090 say you know you want to we don't care but you know I don't know and I'm repeating 912 01:20:19.100 --> 01:20:19.480 myself 913 01:20:19.490 --> 01:20:23.691 a little the selling of Chicken Little skies or whatever I don't know how many 914 01:20:23.701 --> 01:20:29.341 times that I have come to. And after the fact that there are the we talked about 915 01:20:29.351 --> 01:20:35.134 some of the community the reason why I forgive myself from Greenpeace you know 916 01:20:35.194 --> 01:20:38.864 previously because of the issues regarding the inability to work 917 01:20:43.055 --> 01:20:47.755 the number 5 so then my only recourse was to go with the author so I communicated 918 01:20:47.765 --> 01:20:52.265 yachters and then if I had 13 percent of the ME AS A bit later you know you look at 919 01:20:52.275 --> 01:20:57.066 them and deliberately see that heard the views of the crowd I'm repeating myself 920 01:20:57.076 --> 01:21:02.509 when I go back and say the image would disagree strongly with 921 01:21:04.771 --> 01:21:11.134 so if I'm not getting communication thrown by will Intel inside 922 01:21:12.494 --> 01:21:18.994 to do my due diligence with what I feel as far as with bringing it to former 923 01:21:19.004 --> 01:21:23.734 administration potentially about it then took it upon themselves to do the 924 01:21:23.744 --> 01:21:30.284 communication to Mr Martin visible enough time. You know I'm one of the numbers 925 01:21:31.476 --> 01:21:35.737 so we're doing the numbers and then communication of issues because of the fact 926 01:21:35.747 --> 01:21:42.412 that I wouldn't get responses was done by Superintendent to equal to the prince 927 01:21:42.452 --> 01:21:46.102 well intended purpose probably should be the way to the point where it is but in 928 01:21:46.112 --> 01:21:50.533 his role as talk of the bill that we've talked about with 929 01:21:50.543 --> 01:21:54.033 a number of times that I didn't get anything I'm really going on regarding with 930 01:21:54.163 --> 01:21:56.483 these every report I hate there's 931 01:21:56.493 --> 01:22:03.255 a way of telling him pointing fingers he had 2 hats to wear you know it's 932 01:22:03.635 --> 01:22:09.955 a daunting job I get it but the 2nd tell you you know our internal control system I 933 01:22:09.965 --> 01:22:14.976 feel very comfortable you know the communication of it afterwards that's 934 01:22:14.986 --> 01:22:21.420 a different story but when I'm that petting him Cers and when I go to the above 935 01:22:22.361 --> 01:22:26.021 superintendent to attempt to get the answers and then I give them 936 01:22:26.061 --> 01:22:29.061 a lot of music in there that says The despite everything that I've said nobody 937 01:22:29.071 --> 01:22:35.542 tried to no avail the solution we have right now in front of us is what's being 938 01:22:35.552 --> 01:22:36.472 presented for us as 939 01:22:36.482 --> 01:22:42.631 a Toby. Framing things for the schools school lunch circuit breaker and school 940 01:22:42.641 --> 01:22:46.783 choice school choice and circuit breaker being the just to agree with school 941 01:22:46.793 --> 01:22:52.734 records so if you want to go who are and who drop we're right school lunch or 942 01:22:52.744 --> 01:22:57.334 dinner as they were going to respectfully disagree. Balances in the way things go 943 01:22:57.344 --> 01:23:03.235 to really. Again don't want to sound political it was clear because I do care 944 01:23:03.705 --> 01:23:09.775 because when things are written said that are moving to the impacting 945 01:23:11.265 --> 01:23:13.105 my reputation as 946 01:23:13.115 --> 01:23:16.165 a certified door for the actual major and I had to go to another school committee 947 01:23:16.175 --> 01:23:20.006 meeting and speak to gritty issues that's 948 01:23:20.016 --> 01:23:26.987 a big 1st book review for me well actually if you're going to go 949 01:23:26.997 --> 01:23:31.047 there what would be embarrassing for us if not to really solve this problem then 950 01:23:31.057 --> 01:23:35.497 just let it occur and under current circumstances we're not really on 951 01:23:35.507 --> 01:23:39.667 a path to solve this problem unfortunately because we don't really know where the 952 01:23:39.677 --> 01:23:44.087 communications are pretty I can guarantee you we aren't I don't think there is if 953 01:23:44.097 --> 01:23:47.717 there is any disagreement on this side I think you're into you were going to get to 954 01:23:47.727 --> 01:23:53.538 the bottom of it by 5 pm this. Semester 955 01:23:54.418 --> 01:23:59.418 may be much sooner than that and awfully that's the intent there is no way we can 956 01:23:59.428 --> 01:24:06.358 continue the way we are but I know you agree but if the very least I would like 957 01:24:06.368 --> 01:24:11.468 to establish some good practice on our side and I'm not sure that then this you 958 01:24:11.478 --> 01:24:15.628 know this is this is nothing to do with you're going to like that communication can 959 01:24:15.638 --> 01:24:15.768 be 960 01:24:15.778 --> 01:24:20.869 a different matter to tackle the times if we do not acknowledge whatever we're receiving 961 01:24:20.879 --> 01:24:24.429 from someone that someone is free to assume whatever they would like to assume 962 01:24:24.819 --> 01:24:27.779 that's the way it works that's the way it works in my line of business somebody 963 01:24:27.789 --> 01:24:31.379 said something to me I don't do anything in response they are going to zoom that I 964 01:24:31.429 --> 01:24:35.740 received it read it and then I didn't do anything about so I think sometimes we are 965 01:24:36.080 --> 01:24:37.300 putting ourselves in 966 01:24:37.310 --> 01:24:42.170 a position that becomes pretty that you're meant to go to all the books and. 967 01:24:44.080 --> 01:24:49.040 The other thing about the audience the unfortunate thing about the art of this it's 968 01:24:49.050 --> 01:24:54.450 completely out half so all these things happen in accumulate all that product finds 969 01:24:54.460 --> 01:24:55.520 out about it this is not 970 01:24:55.530 --> 01:25:00.932 a problem so there's basically going back and finding out that there was some issue 971 01:25:00.942 --> 01:25:07.243 somewhere we have to really address what is written down so that we can avoid all 972 01:25:07.253 --> 01:25:09.634 these things that he was 973 01:25:09.644 --> 01:25:14.735 a very we're going to that's the reason why we're asking 974 01:25:14.745 --> 01:25:20.436 a lot more questions that probably you're hearing also work because slowly what 975 01:25:20.446 --> 01:25:26.047 that does it kind of allows the confidence to really become discovered as it 976 01:25:26.057 --> 01:25:30.867 actually isn't now myself you are telling us that we were approving numbers to 977 01:25:30.877 --> 01:25:35.347 transfer forms from one line to the next so now I'm questioning every single thing 978 01:25:35.357 --> 01:25:39.127 that we are doing on the side as well so I can your and you each time we open our 979 01:25:39.137 --> 01:25:42.077 mouths and said anything that has a dollar sign in front of it I will have 980 01:25:42.087 --> 01:25:48.639 a record up because there is no way to go back and that's the thing that's the that 981 01:25:48.649 --> 01:25:51.819 that's the thing that's not going to get us anywhere and that you know they will 982 01:25:51.829 --> 01:25:58.579 walk the farms were transfer and. We Iraqis on everything on our side the challenge 983 01:25:58.589 --> 01:26:02.851 that we are facing right now is one the state is telling us that there is 984 01:26:02.861 --> 01:26:07.192 a gap on the town leisure side can happen the town is looking at 985 01:26:07.202 --> 01:26:10.812 a special time meeting where they're going to be voting on something close to front 986 01:26:10.822 --> 01:26:17.504 of $1000.00 and right now we're sitting and having the same conversation which I 987 01:26:17.514 --> 01:26:20.714 thought you were not going to have to be very honest but it's not 988 01:26:20.724 --> 01:26:25.724 a bad thing that we're having is that again the trouble with this is that we are 989 01:26:25.734 --> 01:26:25.984 having 990 01:26:25.994 --> 01:26:30.874 a conversation to rehash the same thing and what wasn't working now how we're going 991 01:26:30.884 --> 01:26:37.568 to fix that and bring you please do that 992 01:26:37.608 --> 01:26:42.348 because we have put some systems in place to make sure that this doesn't happen 993 01:26:42.358 --> 01:26:44.110 going forward we've done 994 01:26:44.120 --> 01:26:47.760 a couple of things that we just talked about here the meeting that we had with 995 01:26:47.770 --> 01:26:53.870 T.M.'s and his partner and you know we instituted. Systems there and to make sure 996 01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:55.580 that communication is now 997 01:26:55.590 --> 01:27:00.400 a 2 way street and how we're going to follow up so we do have some systems in place 998 01:27:00.720 --> 01:27:07.624 going forward to make sure that this is not in my view that's what we have to 999 01:27:07.634 --> 01:27:08.384 show up at 1000 01:27:08.394 --> 01:27:14.035 a town meeting with me on the night can we I'm not going to sit there in front of 1001 01:27:14.045 --> 01:27:18.035 the townspeople and rehash this over and over again because all it's going to turn 1002 01:27:18.045 --> 01:27:18.625 into is 1003 01:27:18.635 --> 01:27:22.756 a finger pointing that we have to show up with is what we're going to do to make 1004 01:27:22.766 --> 01:27:27.859 sure this doesn't happen again and everybody has to take their part of the 1005 01:27:27.869 --> 01:27:31.929 responsibility there was a breakdown on T.M.S. 1006 01:27:31.939 --> 01:27:36.889 Aside there was communication breakdown on the previous superintendent side where 1007 01:27:36.899 --> 01:27:41.921 it didn't come to the school committee in the way that it should have on the town 1008 01:27:41.931 --> 01:27:46.681 side with Chris Martin on the auditor side were this wasn't communicated and so 1009 01:27:46.691 --> 01:27:52.862 there's plenty of blame to go around the ball was dropped period so what we have to 1010 01:27:52.872 --> 01:27:58.502 do now is make sure that it doesn't happen again right so they're excited and just 1011 01:27:58.512 --> 01:28:04.682 go back to just 111 OK One last thing and I was going to. Run 1012 01:28:04.692 --> 01:28:09.062 a completely agree with you that we've been talking about this coalition of process 1013 01:28:09.785 --> 01:28:13.445 did we have to really write it down and really that's why we aren't you know what 1014 01:28:13.455 --> 01:28:16.605 happens to me we're not solving your problem we're having you get our solution and 1015 01:28:16.615 --> 01:28:20.475 so let's not lose sight of that every you know we have put some systems in place so 1016 01:28:20.485 --> 01:28:23.865 we do not that's right now going to be in place when we do have the right and 1017 01:28:23.875 --> 01:28:26.615 everybody agrees it's going to be that's what we're going to go through some 1018 01:28:26.625 --> 01:28:33.426 example that we are we can all food service out with us and Google can give us 1019 01:28:33.436 --> 01:28:39.686 a report I remember correctly it showed us at that point and I think $1000.00 1020 01:28:39.696 --> 01:28:46.090 deficit. And I even said well we got 10000 in contingency I never said one of them 1021 01:28:46.100 --> 01:28:51.280 will put 10 in who's going to put the other 9 so my question is the books are 1022 01:28:51.290 --> 01:28:58.090 closed out this past year last year did was at school what does that $90000.00 1023 01:28:58.100 --> 01:29:04.721 pay was our $10000.00 continues it put towards yes or no if it wasn't 1024 01:29:04.821 --> 01:29:09.591 then here we go we thought we put something in but it did happen so did that happen 1025 01:29:10.742 --> 01:29:17.094 it was I'll say it was pain being rolled into the about it's being 1026 01:29:17.104 --> 01:29:21.995 appropriate to address the deficit that's what goes back to the meeting we had. 1027 01:29:24.657 --> 01:29:31.529 The change in it for 16 process being too good to yours blessing for 1028 01:29:31.539 --> 01:29:37.949 with this being to close the books focus on this possible good scale in here audit 1029 01:29:38.229 --> 01:29:45.039 given the number go over to your specialty so paid yes but pay 1030 01:29:45.189 --> 01:29:46.009 through the process 1031 01:29:46.019 --> 01:29:52.962 a special time. For work in the 10000 we have to continue see where 1032 01:29:52.972 --> 01:29:58.723 that go best zeroed out as far as it went are if you look at what we did was see 1033 01:29:59.223 --> 01:29:59.583 used in 1034 01:29:59.593 --> 01:30:06.235 a lot of what I saw there we went to Europe it didn't go to the food service No it 1035 01:30:06.245 --> 01:30:11.115 went to the bottom line to use for the school it was used I'd say elsewhere because 1036 01:30:11.125 --> 01:30:15.975 of the discussion and they didn't know it necessarily as far as we get it working 1037 01:30:15.985 --> 01:30:20.355 also but I played of attack on the understanding I had if it was not intended for 1038 01:30:20.365 --> 01:30:25.205 food service if you didn't go there then there do we have no 2nd place it isn't 1039 01:30:25.215 --> 01:30:29.926 working well though my baby and I know it's early get to we were there for 1040 01:30:29.936 --> 01:30:34.800 respectfully disagree but. I'd also you know take 60 not 1041 01:30:34.810 --> 01:30:39.640 a table but again I'm going at 16 was finally to the paper here if you want to say 1042 01:30:40.610 --> 01:30:41.160 it was 1043 01:30:41.440 --> 01:30:46.280 a good you know perfect world we would have the special town meeting in July it 1044 01:30:46.290 --> 01:30:51.240 would have all been addressed prior to the deficit's prior but it was let's close 1045 01:30:51.250 --> 01:30:56.220 out why 16 see where is it that we can go and I will get my notes from most of it 1046 01:30:56.900 --> 01:31:01.430 that we've had in May and it was Chris Martin same when you talk to the oh let's 1047 01:31:01.440 --> 01:31:05.860 close up here let's see where it's very very thing else is going to truly who are 1048 01:31:05.870 --> 01:31:06.030 for 1049 01:31:06.040 --> 01:31:12.492 a for 16 and then go to special coverage with every other in here continue to you 1050 01:31:12.502 --> 01:31:17.202 know go into the school age 60 who you have to listen to this is 1051 01:31:17.212 --> 01:31:23.372 a to take differently because come up and so 1052 01:31:24.474 --> 01:31:31.146 to maybe wrap up. Going back to what down the endless talk you know we did talk 1053 01:31:31.156 --> 01:31:35.856 about certain things what is our opportunity surely to Unite Here sit down and just 1054 01:31:36.426 --> 01:31:41.267 write all that stuff and then bring it back to the school committee to see that 1055 01:31:41.277 --> 01:31:46.917 this is our process and then we you know share with you then it becomes that the 1056 01:31:46.927 --> 01:31:53.698 morning we handle some of the communication because. I do you 1057 01:31:53.708 --> 01:31:58.878 agree that we've been talking about hopefully positive in Princeton can make. But 1058 01:31:58.888 --> 01:32:03.768 until we really document those it's going to be heard this I heard that we're going 1059 01:32:03.778 --> 01:32:10.438 to do this right and that's just documenting that it will help us. In the end and 1060 01:32:11.688 --> 01:32:18.389 3 you guys went to the meeting last night I think on the on the positive and 1061 01:32:18.399 --> 01:32:24.221 optimistic here is what I understood from the conversation and Mark you and the 1062 01:32:24.631 --> 01:32:29.903 Sheryl family center thing are mists 1063 01:32:31.644 --> 01:32:38.340 portrayed. The 2 articles one related to circuit breaker the other one 1064 01:32:38.350 --> 01:32:45.200 deleted to school choice one is hiring $22000.01 is $90000.00 total in something 1065 01:32:45.210 --> 01:32:51.700 like $230000.00. Are those. In the 1066 01:32:51.710 --> 01:32:57.130 auditor explained it best that yesterday were basically either 1067 01:32:57.140 --> 01:33:02.440 a timing issue or again communication issue whatever it might be but what happened 1068 01:33:02.450 --> 01:33:02.570 as 1069 01:33:02.580 --> 01:33:09.000 a result of that is that because the town side those funds appeared as if they were 1070 01:33:09.010 --> 01:33:13.701 not spent it didn't know the year they were pushed if it is 1071 01:33:13.711 --> 01:33:18.323 a correct so they thought they were not lost they actually became part of our free 1072 01:33:18.333 --> 01:33:23.943 cash and they were overstated our free cash understandable but if we stay remained 1073 01:33:24.023 --> 01:33:30.974 in town and their free cash. The. School lunch 1074 01:33:31.704 --> 01:33:38.495 catches the absolutely yes why why is the article not free the article is 1075 01:33:38.625 --> 01:33:44.657 very deceiving the his idiot it makes it look as though the deficit is with the 1076 01:33:44.667 --> 01:33:50.768 schools when in reality it's none of that that really bothers me 1077 01:33:52.080 --> 01:33:55.390 I don't know that there was another way they could have worded that for the actual 1078 01:33:55.460 --> 01:33:55.960 it'll be 1079 01:33:56.210 --> 01:34:05.554 a very good special because I could probably word Warburg 1080 01:34:05.564 --> 01:34:12.315 bills and if I would but indeed I do respect a good workers we are there is 1081 01:34:12.325 --> 01:34:18.739 a deficit in the title so the technical retort of your strict Oh 1082 01:34:19.840 --> 01:34:24.532 Lord language part of speech there is a deficit that 1083 01:34:24.542 --> 01:34:29.202 a showing of the tells With tears I get OK I get that but it's one thing all in the 1084 01:34:29.212 --> 01:34:35.302 legal system speak it however why not attach why not attach something to this to 1085 01:34:35.312 --> 01:34:41.462 explain the article Why is that so complicated because we are that it's not there 1086 01:34:41.502 --> 01:34:45.601 it isn't like the school department overspent. My brain made clear that was not was 1087 01:34:45.611 --> 01:34:50.331 clear last night it will be clear on Monday night but why not make it clear from 1088 01:34:50.421 --> 01:34:55.401 moment one the instead of making it clear moment 3 at the edge of town meeting like 1089 01:34:55.881 --> 01:35:01.191 I don't want it when people are ready yet I'll be very vocal you know I'm going to 1090 01:35:01.201 --> 01:35:04.581 tell you that because you know what she's getting from this information when you 1091 01:35:04.651 --> 01:35:08.311 you know it's leading the news that the way they have it like those markets all 1092 01:35:08.321 --> 01:35:12.122 they believe the lawyer that's why you have to put up or jam on that disagrees of 1093 01:35:12.132 --> 01:35:16.232 you of saying why not it's catch something that says Asian and here is to the 1094 01:35:16.242 --> 01:35:20.602 average person who doesn't understand the technical language of how an article is 1095 01:35:20.612 --> 01:35:24.553 read and you know you don't care sometimes actually do them particularly with that 1096 01:35:24.563 --> 01:35:25.794 or they actually have 1097 01:35:26.154 --> 01:35:31.545 a clip that explains in normal language what they use what I do not 1098 01:35:32.916 --> 01:35:39.878 understand. If I do understand those 2 articles while I do 1099 01:35:39.888 --> 01:35:44.968 not understand the school lunch article as well and here is what I gather. 1100 01:35:47.471 --> 01:35:47.841 We have 1101 01:35:47.851 --> 01:35:53.941 a deficit in the school lunch program here what are we are receiving is less than 1102 01:35:53.951 --> 01:36:00.591 whatever we are spending and therefore there is and this is not just grain be it 1103 01:36:00.601 --> 01:36:02.581 doesn't change the fact that you find 1104 01:36:02.591 --> 01:36:07.431 a way to make the program work because we can't really afford having these types of 1105 01:36:07.441 --> 01:36:13.211 deficits year after year but that aside that is the press implode whatever you're 1106 01:36:13.221 --> 01:36:17.701 getting is lost on whatever years of spending and therefore you continuously have 1107 01:36:17.761 --> 01:36:22.252 the I'm not sure that this is a that is 1108 01:36:22.262 --> 01:36:28.244 a free cash here is money that was moved into for dash but the way I understand it 1109 01:36:28.244 --> 01:36:30.630 . If he's technically it becomes 1110 01:36:30.640 --> 01:36:35.690 a free cash issue this way what the read main reason why we are talking about this 1111 01:36:35.880 --> 01:36:39.770 mistake is saying I look at your books and I see that there is 1112 01:36:39.780 --> 01:36:41.840 a gap on your town Ledger there's 1113 01:36:41.850 --> 01:36:48.320 a deficit on your calendar and until you take care of those deficits we're not 1114 01:36:48.330 --> 01:36:53.872 going to release your free cash for this year they are already we holding the 1115 01:36:53.922 --> 01:36:59.952 amount that corresponds to the deficit that they are sick right so 1116 01:36:59.962 --> 01:37:02.122 technically that becomes 1117 01:37:02.132 --> 01:37:07.422 a free cash technically free cash as well because they already are with holding on 1118 01:37:07.432 --> 01:37:13.102 to would pay care of it so what's going to happen that's going to be of adoption to 1119 01:37:13.112 --> 01:37:19.002 the free cash that we are about to receive from the state the other 2 will be 1120 01:37:19.012 --> 01:37:23.572 accounting changes to different appraisers this one will be from the free cash that 1121 01:37:23.582 --> 01:37:28.182 we're about to receive it and correct me if I'm misunderstanding something. 1122 01:37:30.212 --> 01:37:32.782 Again this one if there is 1123 01:37:32.792 --> 01:37:36.742 a silver lining to it it doesn't obviously change the fact that there is no 1124 01:37:36.752 --> 01:37:42.364 physical lunch program but the town apparently had a one and 1125 01:37:42.374 --> 01:37:48.764 a half $1000000.00 will close to it in free cash and when you reduce it by the 1126 01:37:48.774 --> 01:37:53.564 amount that the state is planning on holding back because of all these deficits we 1127 01:37:53.574 --> 01:38:00.074 will still we see something in the amount of 1.1000001.163 I think that's what I 1128 01:38:00.084 --> 01:38:06.385 have one of everything you said and so yes 1129 01:38:06.895 --> 01:38:07.695 there was there is 1130 01:38:07.705 --> 01:38:12.875 a problem but the very least or able to say today Warren was that the school budget 1131 01:38:12.885 --> 01:38:18.896 wasn't overspent there is no tax implication for the town's 1132 01:38:19.596 --> 01:38:26.330 residents as far as we heard and understood. If there is anything else that 1133 01:38:26.340 --> 01:38:32.710 comes up on Monday or any other interpretation of it. I will be happy to ask more 1134 01:38:32.720 --> 01:38:37.740 questions but this is what I gathered from all those meetings that we had either 1135 01:38:37.750 --> 01:38:43.161 with the press or last night the meeting with the summit is that is that 1136 01:38:43.171 --> 01:38:49.942 a fair and OK neither of us are going to group is 1137 01:38:50.302 --> 01:38:53.762 doing very well as far as we age and it's now that we don't really want to I don't 1138 01:38:53.772 --> 01:38:58.162 we don't you know I'm just saying you know I mean as far as you know looking if you 1139 01:38:58.172 --> 01:39:05.132 want to talk about the overall you know if you look at whether 1140 01:39:05.142 --> 01:39:10.983 it's you know data from the plane here into the OR even the part of revenue. Green 1141 01:39:10.993 --> 01:39:16.043 being ranked as far is when you look at combine these are in the school somewhere 1142 01:39:16.233 --> 01:39:22.175 and I think although some of the stuff by the state taking This is one man's man 1143 01:39:22.185 --> 01:39:22.765 you have to have 1144 01:39:22.815 --> 01:39:26.537 a moving forward question to you know we're getting out of all this reality stuff 1145 01:39:26.807 --> 01:39:33.167 doesn't have anything to do with. So I keep hearing that this foolish program is 1146 01:39:33.177 --> 01:39:39.567 supposed to be budget you Carol and yet it's that it's set up so that we are 1147 01:39:40.037 --> 01:39:40.727 immediately in 1148 01:39:40.737 --> 01:39:47.291 a deficit right from getting That's what I want to know how we change and why like 1149 01:39:47.301 --> 01:39:52.171 why are they calling it budget neutral if it's really not. To cover it and say 1st 1150 01:39:52.181 --> 01:39:53.831 of all I think that there will also be 1151 01:39:53.841 --> 01:39:58.251 a very germane discussion to have with the industry is here but I can tell you from 1152 01:39:58.261 --> 01:40:03.995 the perspective of the way the process works in the state of the streets are filled 1153 01:40:04.005 --> 01:40:10.746 with reserves for you have to go up to bid for service are going to for service 1154 01:40:10.756 --> 01:40:16.899 when. There are pieces of information that are required to be inclusive of those 1155 01:40:16.909 --> 01:40:22.380 are projected to roll in if you're on the projections that are provided are not 1156 01:40:22.480 --> 01:40:23.750 accurate that's 1157 01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:30.540 a restart to get into. Based on file all those are your years and so were they in 1158 01:40:30.550 --> 01:40:35.830 the coming back can we help them OK now that you see where things are you know is 1159 01:40:35.840 --> 01:40:41.130 there are we are to revise the budget look at cutting expenses for doing come back 1160 01:40:41.140 --> 01:40:46.271 to school in the US or raisins who want to bring you know so there are certain 1161 01:40:46.281 --> 01:40:51.361 things and with ends up happening there when you have also you know I say things 1162 01:40:51.371 --> 01:40:56.653 like just hear him speak now so they play and I will give them everything including 1163 01:40:56.663 --> 01:41:01.023 school calendar is these are the days are you going to be in service there when you 1164 01:41:01.633 --> 01:41:06.783 you know lose the seniors come the end of the year and then have several snow days 1165 01:41:06.793 --> 01:41:11.543 or you continue work that's washed ready because you don't have those seniors there 1166 01:41:11.883 --> 01:41:16.973 that would have been there during the younger well paid they calculate that they 1167 01:41:16.983 --> 01:41:21.403 are not necessarily having until they're having their basing their projections of 1168 01:41:22.083 --> 01:41:24.253 the school calendar as the days that you're going to be 1169 01:41:24.263 --> 01:41:29.873 a sort of oh yeah please don't take your hair out I say that with I don't know yet 1170 01:41:29.933 --> 01:41:34.493 OK yes I would say yes and there should be some it's not it's OK not to do this you 1171 01:41:34.503 --> 01:41:35.983 have to do something to say yes there's 1172 01:41:35.993 --> 01:41:40.903 a place for it but when you're talking about things like the projection of the 1173 01:41:40.913 --> 01:41:47.094 Romans potentially being are well on our that's our 1st work were far lower then we 1174 01:41:47.104 --> 01:41:47.214 had 1175 01:41:47.224 --> 01:41:50.674 a good test and paid it very well I mean you're never going to really have to like 1176 01:41:50.834 --> 01:41:55.428 free band I guess that I'm just it's 1177 01:41:55.438 --> 01:42:00.308 a physical thing I'm going through is it and we give them projections and they have 1178 01:42:00.318 --> 01:42:05.128 to I mean obviously yeah we're going to we're going to marry you know I mean is it 1179 01:42:05.138 --> 01:42:08.778 because I am Caprice spend money to get ready for the next year and so therefore 1180 01:42:08.788 --> 01:42:12.628 that monies are less than what it is there for them so that the processes that we 1181 01:42:12.678 --> 01:42:19.232 provide them on their role then they take that information 1182 01:42:20.713 --> 01:42:26.994 historical you provide them usually. They take them from for the proposal but 1183 01:42:27.775 --> 01:42:34.380 you know still. When they they put that together and they say this is it is it we 1184 01:42:34.390 --> 01:42:37.810 are a P.T. That they have to provide a boat that is revenue 1185 01:42:37.820 --> 01:42:41.581 a budget control and so contract and that's why we have to pay 1186 01:42:41.591 --> 01:42:46.041 a certain However yes it will have that same time though there are things in there 1187 01:42:46.051 --> 01:42:50.893 like you know if by chance and they do not move those that are things that are in 1188 01:42:50.903 --> 01:42:55.443 their control or ready that say we were we had our projections and they still are 1189 01:42:55.453 --> 01:43:00.534 coming up short then they have to waive their view and then we have up to we can 1190 01:43:00.844 --> 01:43:04.975 bring here in through in one of the other many would say that wasn't 1191 01:43:04.985 --> 01:43:09.725 a benefit but as far as the overall costs are from the services that we do this our 1192 01:43:09.735 --> 01:43:14.957 appeal with so we are cutting expenses 1193 01:43:16.387 --> 01:43:17.927 substantially when you talk 1194 01:43:17.937 --> 01:43:24.400 a labor by the fact that our earth is the state so 1195 01:43:24.910 --> 01:43:29.310 you know by doing them we are even though there are deficits yes and for whatever 1196 01:43:29.320 --> 01:43:34.955 reason we're in the room the cost of the whole thing initiatives are going up to 1197 01:43:34.965 --> 01:43:41.709 buy local of these things ever increasing you know and so when you take those into 1198 01:43:41.719 --> 01:43:48.390 consideration it then becomes in the proper mode of you know in the past it was 1199 01:43:48.400 --> 01:43:53.661 a mystery sort of decision was free is the budget Tobar or we're going to freeze it 1200 01:43:53.671 --> 01:43:57.891 whatever who's done it and we're going to take whatever is available in the funds 1201 01:43:57.901 --> 01:44:03.932 to address it projected I can tell you that from you know when I were to Morgan do 1202 01:44:04.362 --> 01:44:10.142 is every month when we get the numbers from Charles you know talk with the injured 1203 01:44:10.242 --> 01:44:16.454 it's possible paid Where Are We Now regarding your project but 1204 01:44:17.745 --> 01:44:24.245 you know you're in based on what you 1205 01:44:29.515 --> 01:44:31.115 know ready and there are some other things it's 1206 01:44:32.497 --> 01:44:37.439 a little side to their small but for us is that it was asking about you know how do 1207 01:44:37.449 --> 01:44:39.219 you change all you have to have 1208 01:44:39.229 --> 01:44:45.899 a system in place while the pain point to pay 1400 dollars so far Hartmann is the 1209 01:44:45.909 --> 01:44:52.410 company that we are just so that is our. Sure it's almost good pay there are so 1210 01:44:52.420 --> 01:44:57.640 that the accounts are not overspend today sent that we can no longer than we could 1211 01:44:57.960 --> 01:44:59.711 so minimum wage was 1212 01:44:59.721 --> 01:45:07.942 a factor like yeah yeah so 1213 01:45:08.302 --> 01:45:13.182 before we wrap this up I just want to I don't want to forget Mark thank you for 1214 01:45:13.302 --> 01:45:14.842 this something 1215 01:45:14.852 --> 01:45:17.792 a few to hear that you shared with us was actually very helpful even as I was 1216 01:45:17.872 --> 01:45:22.262 sitting there yeah so much for meeting yesterday I was referring to this to how 1217 01:45:22.272 --> 01:45:27.312 things that are really. Out there is really helpful and to the extent that we can 1218 01:45:27.382 --> 01:45:33.653 have nice summaries like this that allows us to quickly right our heads around 1219 01:45:34.033 --> 01:45:38.733 these things if will be much much appreciated Well that and that of that data we 1220 01:45:38.743 --> 01:45:43.133 has time scale for that and that's the data that we generally be the odd reports 1221 01:45:43.143 --> 01:45:47.343 that would come out every year so we're going to wait for those who want to really 1222 01:45:47.353 --> 01:45:52.833 insisting we get them and I mean that's the key touch tone to see what this story 1223 01:45:52.873 --> 01:45:57.784 will was food service thank you. 1224 01:46:00.416 --> 01:46:05.377 Is there anything else that we need to discuss 1225 01:46:08.208 --> 01:46:14.740 so I do believe. This Let's keep presenting the articles on 1226 01:46:14.750 --> 01:46:19.890 Monday and I also understand that Chris at least the 1st pass Chris will be 1227 01:46:19.900 --> 01:46:25.971 speaking to the articles he will be explaining what they are. If there is any need 1228 01:46:25.971 --> 01:46:32.811 . The 1st 2 articles again they will be fairly self-explanatory when we go through 1229 01:46:32.821 --> 01:46:36.461 them the school choice and the circuit breaker there may be some questions on the 1230 01:46:36.581 --> 01:46:43.571 school lunch. We make we have to answer some of those questions but I think overall 1231 01:46:43.581 --> 01:46:48.431 we do know the source of the problem wanting it we're going to hopefully resolve 1232 01:46:48.441 --> 01:46:53.401 fairly soon it's highly get more information around this and how we find some 1233 01:46:53.411 --> 01:46:57.881 options that will allow us to really not eliminate something that I mentioned to 1234 01:46:57.891 --> 01:47:04.511 you a couple of meetings ago that harvesting and this is that Mary asked 1235 01:47:04.521 --> 01:47:11.002 a question that I was going to bring back which is really very neutral or budget 1236 01:47:11.012 --> 01:47:14.403 neutral for folks like us it means 1237 01:47:14.413 --> 01:47:18.053 a you know what there will be some way to arrange things in such 1238 01:47:18.063 --> 01:47:22.293 a way that we're not going to have this deficit in every year it is growing and 1239 01:47:22.303 --> 01:47:26.883 growing and whatever whatever to explain OK we understand and moment is declining. 1240 01:47:28.333 --> 01:47:29.743 But it was maybe going up in 1241 01:47:29.753 --> 01:47:36.025 a lot of stuff yes those are the factors but how do we find the right options to 1242 01:47:36.035 --> 01:47:41.556 reduce it in fact eliminate this deficit that's going to have to be our goal we 1243 01:47:41.566 --> 01:47:46.848 have to start with that with the target and see where we where we get it and it 1244 01:47:46.858 --> 01:47:51.998 seems to me that when things happen and we find out about those things when the 1245 01:47:52.008 --> 01:47:58.758 numbers are as high as they are the tension is having to be all go higher to do and 1246 01:47:58.768 --> 01:48:02.788 then maybe we're not having the right conversation at those times or maybe we're 1247 01:48:02.798 --> 01:48:04.108 having a conversation is in 1248 01:48:04.118 --> 01:48:09.018 a different tone let's just talk about these things as they happen otherwise we're 1249 01:48:09.028 --> 01:48:12.328 not going to solve problems as they happen we're going to solve them or try to 1250 01:48:12.338 --> 01:48:18.070 solve them after they happen Well I think critically about school you know school 1251 01:48:18.080 --> 01:48:21.720 lunch for this year and that's why it's great that you're happy and you're here 1252 01:48:24.040 --> 01:48:29.170 talk about what are some of them are supposed to be revenue neutral programs and I 1253 01:48:30.591 --> 01:48:35.243 know that he's tried much different things which are. You know people to disagree 1254 01:48:35.513 --> 01:48:41.725 with us numbers and to raise prices but that the 1255 01:48:41.735 --> 01:48:47.265 users of your precious regarded as you know who are poor you know we started this 1256 01:48:47.275 --> 01:48:50.286 year with a $26000.00 service there's 1257 01:48:50.296 --> 01:48:55.098 a lot of purchases as of last month that's so that's better but you know it will 1258 01:48:55.108 --> 01:48:59.891 improve but every month we're going to know we're real it will have to be plentiful 1259 01:49:00.571 --> 01:49:05.805 to get to the end of the year so there is no war 1260 01:49:12.866 --> 01:49:19.628 Well thank you and you can hear Mark.
