Um, this sculpture is titled Birth of an Idea. And he also had there's also other sculptures in Greenfield right now at the corner of Federal and Maine on the property of the bank, right? I I don't know. I don't want to say it's not the banks. I think it might be the city's sculpture, but I don't know. That um that looks like a whale tail type scenario there. F with a fountain. Also, the memorial of the war or veterans memorial. I don't want to call it the wrong um the wrong name. And then there are others located in other places. Um what the parties are looking for potentially is to put that back to the high school to some extent. That's James' thought and idea. So we we're presenting that to you. Uh he did have two sons, Peter and Steven, who did graduate from Greenfield High School and his wife taught in Greenfield for many years on that.
Fantastic. Um item A, set meeting dates for the fiscal year 2027 budget. I think this was communications that have been happening back and forth with the city, but we might not need this item because uh the superintendent and I will be going for ways of means on the 19th and delivering a presentation about our budget. So the 19th um >> we have a sub on the 18th. >> On the 18th yes and then it will be in city council's hands. Um, all right. I think that takes care of that. Um, we had these items slated for last time. We had a motion from member Den to have the school committee support the bill H1399 to modernize retirey Medicare healthcare for municipalities. Is that something you wanted us to bring back? >> Yes, I think that. Yes. Yeah. Do you want me to make a It's getting very late.
So, we do have the sculpture found um and kind of just throwing it out there, there's the potential, right, always to apply for whether it be community preservation funds for a I'll use the word base without my lack of art artistry for understanding on that and obviously finding a location for it to honor, you know, a great artwork and a gift to the school. So, I present that to you. >> Is that a motion to direct you to seek community preservation funds or some other funds for PLT? I think that's is that what's needed right now. >> Is that in your purview? >> No. >> Expenditures of money. Yes. >> Ben, no. I'm joking. >> This is so in our purview. >> Yes. But obviously we'd like to do anything we can to help. >> Great. Uh, member child. >> Well, do we need to have that base?
Do I need to make a motion? on it. Vote it on. Yes. >> Yes. I make a motion that uh that we do this because it's part of our um it's part of our purview. I know we love that word tonight, purview, but that's what we do. We're this Franklin County seat. The cost of health insurance is crippling us. We could do other things. There's other options. There is this bill that says that it allows municipalities if they have eligible workers to move on to Has for senior workers. So, um or retirees rather who have worked for the city. And so anything that we could do that we could put our name to to help the mayor and the city in this time of health insurance crisis, I think we should do because it impacts us. We have to pay this is we're paying a lot of money for health insurance this year.
Because if that interferes with the students picking it up and moving it, >> I do not want the students picking it up and moving it. >> That's a tradition. >> Time has passed. >> Sounded like a good senior prank. If I just >> Yeah, it did seem like it was that. Yes. >> Um, >> so we'll look into it. >> Great >> for you. the next steps and I know there's cycles for that and I know they just awarded some so it might be the next year cycle etc. Just so you know, you can see it. We have it. In the meantime, should before that anybody want to do anything with it, um or find a spot in life. Oh, no. It's secure right now. >> Yes. >> Uh the the plan is right up to >> possibly if that's >> up to you, right?
What is it like? What did it go up mayor? like 19% you said >> Asia Health England was going up 19% but I'm pretty sure we have an agreement for the second half of the year to switch over to the GIC. >> Okay. So if so a resolution like this would not help you at this time or would it >> since this is what um uh Tara um >> Tara wanted as well. So no I think it's a good idea. >> Okay. >> I support it. >> Great. Well, we need we need a second before we continue discussion. All right, got a second from member web. >> Any further discussion on this? There was some last time. Did folks have a chance to like look through it? >> I I think last time um we struggled with voting because the mayor wasn't here. We wanted to make sure we were supporting city >> in this.
>> Where our community wants it. >> Mhm. >> So, you have you have some information. So, there we go. We will get you some more on that as well. >> Appreciate you. All right. We are moving into old business. Fantastic. Um, item A, set meeting dates for the fiscal year 2027 budget. I think this was communications that have been happening back and forth with the city, but we might not need this item because uh, the superintendent and I will be going before Ways and Means on the 19th and delivering a presentation about our budget. >> So, the 19th. >> Um, >> yeah, we have a subcommittee on the 18th. on the 18th. Yes. And then it will be in city council's capable hands. Um all right. I think that takes care of that. Um we had these items slated for last time. We had a motion from member Den to have the school committee support the um bill H1399 to modernize retirey Medicare healthcare for municipalities.
Great. Seems like we are. Um, seeing no further discussion, I will move us to a vote. Uh, all in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Any abstensions? Have one abstension. Fantastic. Uh, it passes. >> I will use the resolution format and send it in. >> Great. Love to see it. Okay. Uh, next and final item of old business. Motion from member D. Foundation Budget Review Commission already vote yes on this. >> I thought we voted yes on this. >> Pretty sure we I'm pretty sure that item C we actually already voted yes on. So we're gonna >> Yeah. So I think it was just a hold over. Didn't get didn't get erased from the draft of the >> but I will use the resolution format and send it in. >> I really go through all of my old resolutions, format them now appropriately and send them into you to sign.
Was that something you wanted us to bring back? Yes. I think that Yes. Yeah. Do you want me to make a It's getting very late. Do I need to make a motion? >> If you want it voted on Yes. >> Yes. I make a motion that uh that we do this because it's part of our um it's part of our purview. I know we love that word tonight, purview, but that's what we do. We're this Franklin County seat. The cost of health insurance is crippling us. We could do other things. There's other options. There is this bill that says that it allows municipalities if they have eligible workers to move on to HASS. That's for senior workers. So, um or retirees rather who have worked for the city. And so anything that we could do that we could put our name to to help the mayor and the city in this time of health insurance crisis, I think we should do because it impacts us.
