She's played midfield so far the whole game, but good to see her back. Let's see. Oh, good defense over there by Ashlyn. Ashley Forster doing a good job there and uh That to me is a fun match up, Ashley versus Ava. Yeah, aggressive kids and young adults. Yeah, I clearly coach Blasi wanted Forster back there on defense with a couple of regular defenders out to stabilize, maybe call out things, and being vocal. Uh the the other players may not have that confidence to to be calling things out where Ashlyn Ashley has been a defender for >> [screaming] >> years. >> Three years, yeah. Both Forster girls, I think her older sister was a defender, right? >> Correct. That was a good stick by Ashley there. Okay, so I I'm a little surprised by that. Ashley got her stick on it. I don't know if they called a foul or if it was shooting space, not quite sure, but Clock is running about 50 seconds.
Um, and obviously that is way over what we we we thought we were going to see. >> Yeah. Thank you, >> Mr. White. >> Thank you. Um, I just want to um look at the energy procurement update and just try to understand a little bit better. >> So, we're talking um so the first bullet point for an anticipated 35,000 gallons 225 per gallon. Uh so that is what we will consume through wait with pricing held through June 2025 >> 26 I realized the title. Yep. >> Okay. So that goes that goes through June. It's the end of the school year. First of all the 35,000 gallons is that for building heating buses. It's not clear to me based on >> Yeah. Sorry. The the first bullet is that's heating oil and then I just included those sub bullets are about fuel and gasoline. Um but if you're looking at that first when we are talking about the 2.2509 25509.
>> It's uh it's an old parkquet floor. >> Um and it's been sanded so many times that it's down to wood shavings. >> So now it's delaminating. But I would agree I would voice my agreement with Emily that this would be a high priority item because uh it's it is becoming a safety item. And uh we did price it for the past two years. So we know that that number is is good, but Norton does need a a new stage surface. Um unfortunately it also includes a baitment. So does it is there a So I'm just looking at the details here. So I completely understand the point you're making. Does the other stuff do we get any sort of like cost benefit by doing the drapes, the lights, the sound system at the same time? >> That would be all part Yeah, that would be all it would be nice to include all of that.
And finally, in granting this appeal the board understands that the applicant and its engineer of record have performed due diligence in the design and engineering of the accessory structure. Any questions or comments from the board on the motion? Why is that sufficient for the board of for for the engineer of record to be the one stamping them? Which I think it is. Yeah, so I guess I'll need to get a re-stamp from him with the third post. Okay. >> Yeah, we'll revise that. Okay. Do I hear a second on the motion? >> I'll second. Those in favor? I. Those opposed? Nine. So that motion passes. All right. Well, thank you, gentlemen. So we'll get our staff report from at some point our staff report but our response from the building department with the status of the variance. We'll follow up with something in in writing for that.
So again, these are part of those factors that go into migration decision- making process people don't think about. You know, it is more complex than people think it is. [clears throat] >> In your experience, is there anything that has surprised you that has changed your forecast at all? >> Surprised me in what? >> Like something that you had a forecast and this something changed that >> Oh, yeah. Uh we just went up in Middletown, Indiana years years ago and somebody just somebody in the county government or local government decided to put a 600 unit mobile home park in there not telling anybody and I was there in like nine months and all of a sudden boom they had a couple hundred kids there and but those are rare anymore now because [clears throat] watches everything now. Um the one that surprises me right now I would say is how much of an impact the cut for immigration has uh half the population growth in the US since 1990s for immigration or offspring and despite what you hear in the press and all that they really haven't deported that many people in the whole scheme of things you know maybe 100,000 out of 15 million it's it looks worse it really does.
>> Shot, what an amazing save by Olssonik. >> Olssonik. Um just spectacular. Hopefully Ashlyn can get the ball back, but once again Honestly, that's a shot you you're glad that WSCA is actually doing the game where Alanna can rewatch that. That was pretty impressive. >> Yeah, I'm I'm sure she will. That was That's one we're going to show on Huddle and uh great save. Is that a face card? Yeah, that was over the head. >> head, okay. >> on on Duffy. >> That's a penalty, I guess. Yeah, there you Yeah. Clock is stopped with 17 seconds left. So what's the difference between a green or a yellow card or are they are they the same? So uh You usually see yellow, not a green, or does it matter? That is a yellow uh did they He did a green, but she's out of the game, so I don't >> Yeah, I'm not sure.
That's heating oil only and that's for the 35,000 across campuses. Um so and it's whatever happens first, right? So June 2026 hits or you hit 35,000 gallons. We hit 35,000 gallons in March. Okay. >> So that that he that price lock it is expired. >> Oh, it's >> so we're paying market rates. >> Oh, I see it. Sorry, I missed the word expired. Okay, so and what is market rate right now? Uh I think it's like sub$ five dollars for heating oil, >> but we're at the point now where Yeah. So >> And are those drops basically just for Dittle or do >> and Darcy? Darcy. >> Okay. So Darcy's closed soon. So we'll have Dittle on oil. >> So just do little. All right. Um so the diesel fuel and the unled gasoline, those two 50,000 gallons is what I'm assuming that is. Is that uh that's what we expect to use for the final three months or is that like an annual number >> to that is how much we we did a price lock for is 50,000 gallons for June 2026.
So that would be a 100% renovation, but I don't know if that 250 includes that. I don't I don't know that. >> Okay. And the simple reason I'm asking is just the budget. I know if I was on the council, I >> there's there's need and then there's, you know, the potential benefit of like a cost savings from doing a larger project. >> We can live a few years without a new curtain and new lights. The floor is that's a top priority that's going to be renovated. >> Okay. So, I'm not sure I'm I'm not sure about the detail if that includes the drapes. The drapes are pretty expensive because they're fire rated. You know, they have to be well actually fireproof. >> Okay. >> So, those those tend to be costly plus all the hardware. And then now if you're starting to talk about stage lighting, you know, if you get something simple off of Amazon, it should be relatively cheap.
Okay, thank you. Are they going to need these chicken scratches for Probably so. Yeah, they'll need your original Could Could I get a Well, actually never mind. I it's in here. Yeah, photograph of it. Take a picture of your motion and then That's not going to help you. [laughter] It may help you though. I can rewrite it. Okay. I Okay, then we're all set. All right. Great. Thank you. Do you need to do like a journey or anything like that kind of stuff or I think we're seeing We have old business. Is that the something I saw that was like a fire hydrant? You want to wait till John Bob can mark that up and then we can continue. >> [clears throat] [laughter] >> Yeah. It's a long long time. Okay. Thank you. Give me a motion to adjourn. I'll make a motion to adjourn.
But what it has done is absolutely [clears throat] shut off the inflow. Okay? And that's why can't anybody build your house, clean your hotels, your agricultural work, things like that because there's just no workers out there. And uh you got I've been in school districts where there Hispanic kids are just hiding. They didn't [clears throat] come to school. So they're seeing a drop in enrollment. I'm going there's no living here but you know they're just not coming. Um but as that generation ages there's not one coming in behind it to take care of it. And that's an important point because you're going to see more diversity in your your student body going forward anyway. Um and for immigration the median age of Hispanic in the US is 28. The mean age of a black is 30. The mean age of Asian is 33. The median age of a white is 45.
Maybe they just changed their mind. >> Okay. All right. Um 10 seconds left, I'm guessing Duffy's just going to kind of hold the ball. You know, being so far away from the goal, the chances of you scoring versus them scoring, I think this is a wise decision to hold on to it, play for the second half. Yeah. So we have a 5-4 game. Ashlyn was up 3-2 in the uh end of the first. We have a 5-4 game. So tie game over here. So I know we expected a tie game between both these. Any quick first half reflections before we take a quick break over here? From yourself? Um I I I like that we we said we think it's going to be a close game and and what are we getting? It makes us look smart. >> I love it. I'm not sure we are, but I mean we'll take it.
Yes. And we have not hit that yet >> for either. So it's 50,000 50,000 gallons diesel fuel 50,000 unleted. So both 100,000 gallons. >> So are you basically expecting both of those to run out sometime like between late May and July or August? I hope they make us till June 30th so we get the price lock. >> Yes. >> Okay. Um All right. And uh with regard to I don't think you mentioned the energy performance contract. >> I didn't. No. >> I'm just curious in terms of uh next year's budget. Is there a possibility of that having an impact on next year's budget if you're I mean I'm not sure if you know what the like the Gant chart so stuff actually comes online. >> Yeah. I would have have to ask Vin about that. >> Yeah, that um we've been working on that uh spending a lot of time Vin and I have been kind of okay um doing that work and um I shot out an update earlier.
But, you know, that's not going to happen. >> It's going to be elaborate. >> Tried to find the picture. I'll be able I'll I'll see how I named it, but you'll huge piece of splinter um coming off and then dad window replacement. So >> that's yeah design work. >> Design work. Yep. The overall this is a um well actually we have design work. >> Yep. Athletic field upgrade is designed as well >> but the window renovations I might have this actually interestingly this is one of the ones where we put design work in this year and this got deferred because it's 3.875. It's a big project. Well, that's >> and right now we're sitting is in the year six through 10 projects. >> So, um that was at the request of the town last year to make this year 6 through 10 columns where we kind of parked some items, but I am sharing that with you.
Who's going to have more kids? It's not immigration that's causing us more diversity. It's age structure. Again, your number one predicted variable. 45 year old people are not going to have a whole bunch of kids. assuming so when you look at the assumptions like two of them are something that we have control over the transfer policy that we currently have in place >> and the creation of a virtual school that can reach some populations that we weren't able to reach in the past. In your experience of working with schools that you've gone back to, is there an assumption that a district has control over that has made a positive impact on the enrollment beyond those things? Well, the wild card going out there right now is that the state actually does shut down Union School next September. That's going to dump 5,000 virt. an opportunity for all school districts to kind of get their kids back.
>> Yep. So we'll go ahead and take a break. Jamie Tripp is going to join Kevin McGuinness for the second half action, but uh couple quick things. One, want to again thank our crew. Didn't really see who was here. I know Jeff, Luis, Brady was here as well. Again, incredible crew. He's been doing this all year round. If you are interested in working the cameras, working the uh operations, working the mics, definitely uh reach out to WACA. I know we have a couple of young students doing the baseball games, so definitely would love to have more and more folks um getting involved. Um Kevin, first time you and I were doing this, so this was fun. I enjoyed it. >> Hopefully get Hopefully get Hopefully get another game. Maybe we can get you for uh I know Maggie also plays soccer. So Yeah, I know as a as a dad you want to kind of enjoy the game, but maybe we'll get you on the call for soccer in addition to all your lacrosse insights and um yeah, we're going to take a quick break here from our sponsor and then Jamie and Kevin will take care of the second half.
We're working with Connecticut Green Bank, the governor's office, and the Department of Administrative Services to expediently as possible um have this the 17 items that the town has put forth for this energy performance contract approved. Uh there's a lot of state uh grants and federal grants in terms of the inflation reduction act on the table. if we can get this resolved uh in the next month or so. And so, um if that's the case, we could initiate work. We actually have to initiate work before July around July 1st. >> Okay. >> Uh we have to have 5% like of the material on site and stuff like that. Um it's ambitious to think that it'll be installed and actually having an impact next year, but there is a possibility. >> Okay. Right now, I'd say it's slim, but there is a possibility. >> Sure. No, stuff has to stuff has to >> Yeah, a lot has to fall in place right now.
>> So, do we need the 75 now for something in year 6 through 10 or are we hoping to move that up? I think that's a that is a decision for the planning committee, but I I do think they're too far apart right now. Obviously, Rich, I don't know if you wanted to add any. >> Oh, yeah. I mean, in addition to in addition to design, uh we also get a probable cost of construction, which validates the 3.6 to make sure it's not 5.6. So, it serves, you know, >> the 3.875 >> that whatever. Yeah. >> Okay. I just want to make sure it was looking but I mean, you know, that the three the 3.875 I mean that's a that's a a ballpark estimate. So that window wall system at DOT is pretty extensive. So we're you know we're trying to make an trying to make assumptions that maybe we can sit you know be able to reuse the frame or not.
You know, the elders virtually actually work for some kids. You know, that's why the parents do it anyway. >> It took us some time, but we got there. >> U but you got to have some standards behind it, too. So I I see [laughter] and that's one thing that we we've looked at postco very important during co private school rates home school rates virtual rates charter rates all went through the roof okay everything went up after co they all came down but they never went back down as low as they were before co you know homeschool used to be 3% now it's four you know charters used to be 6% now in seven. Okay. The problem here on this was was virtual. I like to say before co virtual was virtually nothing. It's never going to go back down to zero again. It's about four or 5%.
So 5-4 Ashland. Give me that pizza right now. >> Brought to you in part by Townhouse. Pizza, subs, roast beef and more. Be sure to fill up on the buffalo chicken calzone that's been called one of the best in the area. >> [music] [music] >> Mhm. >> Hey! Hey! Go! Go! >> [music] [music] >> Go! Go! >> [music] >> Hey! Hey! Go! Go! >> That's 4 goals for Dedham and 0 for the Marauders. 12 minutes on the clock as Ashlyn from right to left the score remains 4-0 on the draw. Welcome to the booth, Jamie Tripp. Thank you for having me, Kevin. Just got back from a delicious sub at Town House Pizza. I was running a little late, so Yeah, I know. >> Had the chicken parm, it's delicious. Highly recommend. Steak and cheese calzone is what I like. >> Oh, yeah. It's good, too.
