We have a 11 orders before us tonight, and we have many special guests in the audience to come and speak on those orders. So I'm going to ask my colleagues to bear with me.

Before us in an orderly manner, so my first request would be to entertain a motion to take order 2022-136. And appropriation for free cash account zero one dash three two, four zero zero one in the amount of 75,967.40 to various community service line items is set forth herein to take that out of order. So the second so we have a motion made by counselor Stewart seconded by President Snell to take order 2022-136 out of order. Is there any discussion Seeing none all in favor any opposed. Okay, so we will take that order out of order and I believe we have some representatives from the recreation department the Council on Aging and Memorial Hall joining us tonight is my understanding. So if you all want to join us at the table and while that's happening if I can entertain a motion to suspend the rules so we can hear from our guests. I'm sure I'll make a motion to suspend the rules second. So we have emotions to suspend the rules made by counselor Stewart seconded by President. Sanela. Is there any discussion seeing none all in favor High any opposed the rules are suspended welcome. It's lovely to have you we do have just for the public watching at home. There are several items within this free cash order. So if you can each maybe just briefly go and speak to the item that relates to your department who wants to go first. Don't all jump at once.

▶ 12:33 Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Kathy pegiproda executive director of Memorial Hall. I am specifically looking for one. Free cash order for my elevator is out of compliance with the software and this just came to light when I have my inspection 85% of the elevators in Massachusetts have to have this done. So I got a price quote. The first one to get it done and it'll be done in August if I if you approve the money tonight. It's a state regulation and it's mandated. I have no choice. Thank you, Lisbon. Cello? Hi Stacy. Mancello Council and aging thank you for having me. I have a free cash request on the table for 13,000 and that's to upgrade the locks. To the Milano Center to a fob system similar to City Hall and we feel that one that's a great way to monitor activity, but also keep the building safer and open it up to Affiliates meaning other public. Community Partners and departments for evening access

Pickup truck we've been waiting seven or eight years trying to hoping to get a request in for an upgraded vehicle. So one item in there is for an upgrade in that that's what we use year-round for the delivery of all of our services. The other is an upgrade to our Recreation Software System. If anybody's ever used our Software System, they'll probably aware that it's kind of below standard of what other communities are using.
