Um if you take away the employee benefits um there there are you know pluses and minuses. they all almost net out. Um it's almost exclusively driven by the employee benefits.

one was um specific to the fundraising policy and one was specific to the student activities procedures manual. Okay. Um so yeah, I can I have answers for them and um and it shouldn't prevent any of the policies from moving forward and and it should not hinder um the activities of students either. So Okay. Yep. And Stephanie, if I may for context, I think it's really important there's a lot of humility with this policy committee. just Aaron and Joy and Stephanie and the work Casey and Lisa Grahamley have done this year. Uh it's been yman's work, incredible work. You you you don't get enough credit for it to be very honest with you. I mean, we're I think we're around 400 policies in this district. And so, we make wise cracks and a little self-deprecating about 1992 was a good year and this and that, but the work over the years uh over the last 10 years, but but a super concentration in the last year, year and a half with this committee.

But then he did a litany of a list of things and that's that would help be helpful. Have that as a footnote salary un um employed versus the um un vacancies that type of thing. But the employee benefits that social security that gets me. Well, yeah. But it that's a broad terminology, but you can specify that bulk of this has to do with health insurance. You know, we're dealing just material numbers.

Um I think you're upwards of 18,200 policies at this point. So, um it's just incredible and you just need you need the recognition for that. It's been a lot of work and I can't thank you enough for that and thank Casey and Lisa as well. Um uh because when you when you say that you don't realize people in the public think oh all of our policies they are sorry they are really in actually a very good place and you work very hard on them and as we always say and our lawyers say as well in lie of an up-to-date policy you follow the law. So you know that's well and yes and to that point that's part of our review right is making sure that none of those policies that need to be updated are at a point which we need to address right now.

I remember him saying, you know, don't do an email, but um I just want to make sure that we do the eye and cross the tea in responding to to a request, which we indicated we would. Right. So, Mike and I talked about like a memo, just producing a memo, but we wanted to make sure that this this board had, you know, opportunity to have conversation about it first couple month maybe a month couple months ago.

So I'm off I'm putting it out there for a discussion of if one of us could be the liaison that when they meet and as they move forward um there's someone there sitting who's understanding and following it and come back to the report to the board and and tell us what what's going on or what they think. Any input? I' I'd be I first off I' I' I'd raise my hand to do that actually. I think it's a great idea. Um, I think that uh I think it's some better communication and coordination between everybody. I I I I think that everyone here basically wants to see the same thing. I think that there are different opinions and approaches to getting that done. I think if we can work together to to figure that out um and and then bring it back to to town meeting, I I think we'll see a result that uh that most folks will will find satisfactory and preserve the character of the town while encouraging business uh to flourish and thrive.

So yes, thank you for saying that. And probably for the last 12 years or so, maybe 13 years ago, there there had been a part-time retired administrator who actually worked on the policies. So everybody has stepped up um you know, either a central office or on the committee itself to to do this work. It's a lot of work. It takes a lot of work day time to get done or weekend time. So anyway, I just had to say that to you guys. You're welcome. Stephanie, if you could just um I was just thinking like the one of the questions. So you can I know you said you can speak to legal directly. Yep. Um because I know we can't change the language of the shipment policies because then it affects the Yeah. So the way that it was explained to me is if you change the meaning of the policy, you are no longer compliant with their legal with the policy as it stands legally or um the way they recommend it be compliant is compliant with the law.

I think, you know, Mike did report out on these numbers in a different format, but this is a little bit more detailed. So, we wanted to make sure that the board had the detail first and answer any questions before we put it in a memo. Yeah. And if you do a brief description, I think that would, you know, logically somebody would say, "Okay, you gave me this now, you know, the curse." So, however you come up with that, um, that's 23. Getting on to 24. Um uh where do we stand on on 20 24? I'm going to ask Joanne um what kind of a target date had do you anticipate to have the audit completed by I thought you would indicated at August 1st or August 31st. Am I wrong? No, that that is not going to be um a completion date. um our our end result that we need to get to in auditing 25 the 25 audit needs to be um prepared and um completed by February at the very latest um the aim is for January or December right so I don't want to speak on behalf of the our entire office but that is the goal that we need to get to to be considered timely um by the state um if we file 25 by next February that is with two monthly extensions on the original deadline of December.

So, other thoughts? I I think that's great. And if Makita wants is willing to do that, I think I think you would I think you would be the perfect person to to um to take that on. I think that that I mean I I completely support that. I also think that um we had talked about this when the historic commission came here. We were talking about possibly, you know, doing and they were in support of of, you know, maybe figuring out another source of another mechanism for, you know, historic preservation. And we were talking about possibly using CPC funds um as sort of more of a carrot versus stick. I think there's probably a way that we can do a combination of, you know, the historic district and then also, you know, figure out funds to be able to support this. Um, and I I personally think that that's like an important part of it if the businesses feel like they're supported and that there's funding to be able to say, okay, you know, Lunkers, like I was outside of Lunkers a lot this last weekend.
