Good evening, board superintendent Sida and Executive Cabinet. Thank you for allowing us to be here tonight to honor our amazing athletes of Okala. I'd like to introduce our two amazing coaches that coached our wonderful girls to for Okala Steam. Can I have coach Lopez and coach Solis up here to introduce our girls? Hi, good evening. Um, I want to start by saying how refreshing it is to be up here for a positive reason and this is our positive reason. Um, girls stand up. So, there are very few girls here. It's actually a good problem to have the majority of our team, they're doing the track and field meet right now, so that's where everyone else is. Um, it it's pretty amazing to coach middle school soccer and to take girls that have never ever ever played on a team and girls that have been playing club soccer since they could walk and blend them together and just watch them grow.

So that was wonderful and I'm not sure what was more fun, watching her sing or watching him direct her.
We spent a lot of time talking about the budget. So, we didn't wrap up our meeting until about 10 of 11. And we wrapped up our meeting by saying goodbye and thank you to Jen Ball. She has been our assistant town manager for nine years. We're going to have her with us through town meeting in May, but then she's moving on to her next adventure. And we wish her all the best. And that's the select board update for the meeting that happened on Wednesday, April 17th.
We've been looking fondly at your community for years as potential opportunities, knowing there's been a lot of work done locally on planning uh the entire community and certainly looking very closely at housing and how desirable Ashland is. So, we've been following that closely. We've also looked at other properties on Pawn Street and at one point we're working on potential of the existing Shaw Plaza to take a portion of that and transition that to to housing. that did not happen. But this 501 Pawn Street opportunity came before us and we thought uh that this would be perfect a perfect marriage of winds and company's um abilities and um uh not only that but uh also one that would marry closely with the goals of the town of Ashland. And so with that, we're here before you obviously to talk about 501 Pawn Street and this acquisition by Wind Companies, Wind Development, U to turn this into what was previously an 8020 deal, 80% market, 20% affordable to a much more mixed income property, something I think that complements Ashland and and really reflects the existing demographics of Ashland.
Two runners on for the for the Falcons. Joseph Smith up the bat. He grounded out to end the inning. His last played appearance, but this time he has runners on first and second. Nobody down. Slider outside. Ball one. Now one set on the ground. Pitcher gets it and throws on a first for the out. Runners move to second and third for for Bryce Barlo. He singled to start off the third and was able to come around to score. He's got two runners in scoring position. One out. First offering in the air strike one. [Applause] The 01 ripped out to right center field. But that one's going to get down for potentially extra bases. But the center fielder cuts it off. It will only score one by the RBI single for Bryce Barlo. Now the score is 12 to three. Not a bad Andrew Grazo. He's over two.
Bryce Barlo picks it up, throws a second, gets one onto first. Double play. What a turn. Maruka and Croll go down on two. Carlin gets to third. Got two down for Jacob Bar. [Music] [Applause] [Music] First pitch to the bat. Little curve ball in there for strike one. Oh, one but high and outside. One to one. [Music] That one swung on. I missed. Strike two. [Music] Fast ball high and outside. Two and two. [Applause] [Music] Little slider on the ground of second baseman Ben Daniels. He throws it on over to the first and for the third out of first second. Nobody out but they cannot do damage. Stays one nothing Falcons. And we are back four in the top of the second. One nothing still the score. First pitch is outside ball one. This one is hit on the ground to third and foul. Just curved foul at the very end.

There's going to be some give and take and this is kind more of a first reading or at least the staff's first reading and final action happened last month. Uh maybe this give a opportunity for the commission to take a look at this. But uh um I think I want to emphasize a concern that former council member Banister brought up a moment ago and that is I do hope uh uh there is some uh um more explicit language regarding flood plane uh uh management uh in in the um plan. Um I was looking at the chapter 55 regarding uh uh various levels of uh flood plane uh um management and uh u priority. Uh it is something I think that has been neglected a little bit uh in terms of discussion. Um but otherwise you have a great document here and I hope that the changes that is being requested don't uh dramatically change things very much.
That was great. So wonderful. Um, so the next thing on the agenda is to ask if anyone is present who would like to speak on any items on the agenda or any other topic. And I believe we do have someone here um that would like to speak. Sears. Yeah. Don't sit here. You can um e either way if whatever you're comfortable with. Yeah, Mary would be too short to stand here. So, my name is Ken S and I have numerous children throughout those schools. Literally, there is 15 in the schools right now. And there's been a lot of bullying, a lot of it. And the kids go to the to say, "Hey, these kids are bullying me." In the process, when they go there, they're informed to just walk away or just ignore them or, well, they've got a crush on you. This is not the answer these kids want to hear.
