>> Yeah. Move. We have motion support to

157
00:14:34,959 --> 00:14:42,639
allow supervisor to contact our legal
representation

158
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:46,480
about the township sign. All okay. This
will cost money. So it's roll call vote.

159
00:14:44,959 --> 00:14:48,720
» Anderson. Yes.
>> Yes.

160
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:55,279
» Present. Yes. Yes.
>> Stevens. Yes. Motion carries. Okay. This

161
00:14:51,839 --> 00:15:00,560
is the thing from Cintas
here. They we we modified our contract.

162
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:05,600
Instead of paying it every week, we went
to um monthly. We asked them and plus we

163
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:12,399
took some rugs away. We wanted to see if
that would reset our contract

164
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:15,519
um that we signed two years ago whether
that would reset to another and it does

165
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,839
not.
>> So,

166
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,360
» did you already contact them and ask
them to change it to monthly or not yet?

167
00:15:20,079 --> 00:15:26,000
» Um yeah,
>> you did. So, when does that start?

168
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,000
» Probably next month. So I'll I'll double
check.

169
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:35,160
» So we don't have to do any action. That
was kind of

170
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,680
okay.

171
00:15:54,079 --> 00:16:03,360
Okay. Um, budget amendments.
>> So, I have a few budget amendments. Um,

172
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:08,320

into there. The second is account number
101101752

182
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:06,959

which totals $6,23942.

192
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:09,600
I did not touch the building department.
There are a couple. There's one,

193
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:15,600
one, two, three, four accounts that are
over budget. So, you encourage me to sit

194
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,600
down and figure that out.
>> Okay.

195
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:33,600
Okay. All right. Um we just had the um
budget amendments listed. Um do we have

196
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:39,200
a motion to
>> motion to approve budget amendments for

197
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:42,799
2025 26?
>> Okay.

198
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:49,200
» Okay. Support for the budget amendments

199
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,520
2026. Okay. Roll call vote.
>> Anderson yes

200
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:57,200
» yes.
>> Kazinski yes. Stove yes.

201
00:18:53,600 --> 00:19:02,080
» Stevens yes. Motion carries. zoning
administrator. Um I did what the board

202
00:18:59,919 --> 00:19:07,679
requested it. I added the code
enforcement into the zoning um

203
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:13,120
administrator position. And in your on
the table tonight, you'll see another

204
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:17,679
one at the bottom there's another um
thing we added and improved zoning

205
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:23,440
requirements on building plans. I had
Shel look this over on Monday and that's

206
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:28,880
where her adviser was. Good. Um,
>> that's what she needs to do for her job.

207
00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:32,200
» So, um, does anyone have any questions
on this?

208
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:40,080
» Well, I have three people. Matter of
fact, one, um, gentleman came in today

209
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,520
who has experience in township
government.

210
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:48,799
» Um, I have a another one who was
recommended by he was a former a retired

211
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:54,400
contractor in Lennox Township. He was
referred to me by their code enforcement

212
00:19:51,679 --> 00:20:00,400
official there. And I have a gentleman
who does the exact same job up virtual

213
00:19:57,679 --> 00:20:05,213
township who told me that he'd be
interested.

214
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:08,240
So, um,
[clears throat]

215
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:11,120
» and we're doing this as a zoning
administrator/code enforcement. Yes. One

216
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:16,880
person.
>> One person. And then when if and when we

217
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:22,160
approve this, we'll figure out like how
many days they're here, how many hours.

218
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:27,280
» I'm thinking one day a week in house
here and do all this field work. Unless

219
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:32,159
if there's more splits, I mean zoning to
be done, field work. You know, if they

220
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:37,440
have to work more than one day, so be
it. Work one day, be in the office, and

221
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:41,919
then be available by phone for the rest
of the week for

222
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:45,440
me.
that zoning person is going to have a

223
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,880
lot more work from the building
department than he will have the splits.

224
00:20:51,120 --> 00:21:00,720
The building department is booming.
And so

225
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:06,880
to have one day a week he's here, he's
gone and I get three applications that

226
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:11,679
need only we wait a week to get that.
>> Well, can we get them in the BPN like

227
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:16,080
Katie has? And I think Shelly has one
that they can work from home if they

228
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:19,600
need to. [snorts]
>> We could look into that.

229
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,919
» I don't Does that cost us anything? I
don't know if it does.

230
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,760
» I mean, well, the biggest thing like
Brenda says, it's going to be the actual

231
00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:29,679
fieldwork itself going out and measuring
the setbacks from that and u

232
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:34,400
» right they're going to need the site
plan that the [clears throat]

233
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:39,280
brings to us in the office. I would say
require them to work inhouse one day a

234
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:43,840
week to be here physically here
preferably on Monday because they can

235
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:49,679
work with the assessor on any split
issues and then be available if um and

236
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:54,880
in case if they need extra fieldwork
doing um the zoning and that then

237
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:59,520
» you just say as needed.
>> Yeah, as needed.

238
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:03,120
whoever whoever gets hired just needs to
be aware that it could be

239
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:08,400
» you know like an extra day or
>> and um and I told um the individual who

240
00:22:06,159 --> 00:22:15,880
came to my office today and code
enforcement we've done by complaint

241
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,880
bases only so whoever so

242
00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:24,799
» when Matt was our only administrator he
worked a full-time job

243
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:28,880
» so what we would do is take his
information to the door and he would

244
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:32,000
pick it up. So, we can we can make it
work. But,

245
00:22:30,159 --> 00:22:35,280
» you know, they're going to have a I
mean, building department is been very

246
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,400
busy.
>> Yeah. So, all three of them are familiar

247
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:41,520
with zoning.
>> Nice.

248
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:46,280
» Yeah.
So, okay. So,

249
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:54,159
any questions on this?
>> Do we need to take any action on that?

250
00:22:52,159 --> 00:23:00,240
Well, I think we should approve the job
description at least tonight and then

251
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:07,679
next week. Um, I guess to we should
reset a salary about I was thinking I

252
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:12,640
was thinking um
about $26 an hour.

253
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:16,559
» Did you like look at other areas around
here? What?

254
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:24,440
» I did. Some one township near here is
$26 now. Another is $30 per hour.

255
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,440
» So, Any

256
00:23:25,679 --> 00:23:28,679
question?

257
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:37,600
Okay.
I'd like to get this um at least the job

258
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:46,000
description approved this evening. Okay.
Well, with um the inclusion of number

259
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:52,159
nine, which is what the assessor
um required requested.

260
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:57,360
Um
I'll make a motion that we approve the

261
00:23:54,799 --> 00:24:01,480
job description for the zoning
administrator code enforcement

262
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:10,400
» support. Okay, we have a motion support
to approve the zoning administrator code

263
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:15,120
enforcement job description.
Um, any further questions?

264
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:21,279
» If not, all in favor?
>> I motion carries. There's a second part

265
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:25,840
to this. We just recently had some
things where

266
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:32,720
we may have to write for a building
violation some misdemeanor ticket. We

267
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:38,080
investigate this end until we get the
code enforcement official Chris Anderson

268
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:43,840
recommend [clears throat] recommended
she go but asked the board to give be

269
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:49,039
the authority to write a ticket so in
case if we have to process any kind of

270
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:55,600
building violation
>> it' be a misdemeanor ticket.

271
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:59,679
So these tickets will be written for
violations

272
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:04,960
in
um electrical.

273
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:08,000
» Yeah. Or mechanical or
>> mechanical.

274
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:13,679
That's the scope of it.
>> Yeah.

275
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:18,480
» And this would be done in cooperation
and coordination with the gentlemen that

276
00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:23,520
oversee those.
>> What? Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. with our

277
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:27,039
inspectors.
>> Yeah.

278
00:25:24,159 --> 00:25:33,520
» And Chris did recommend
township will send two letters.

279
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:38,240
If there's no compliance,
she will send one,

280
00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:45,360
you know, and generally a letter from
the legal council triggers some type of

281
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:50,720
reaction. If not, she'll send two. And
if there's no response, then because the

282
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:56,400
court is going to want real detailed
background, how far did you go to work

283
00:25:53,279 --> 00:26:04,159
with these people to get compliance?
>> So, it's not going to probably happen.

284
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:07,360
» Five letters, five letters, three from
us,

285
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:12,799
» a minimum of four possibly five. Two
from us, two definitely from her. And

286
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:17,440
then I guess it would be her discretion
whether or not if they you know if they

287
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:20,880
offer compliance then you know another
letter to confirm that we've spoken and

288
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,400
this is the understanding.
>> Yeah.

289
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:29,440
» Chris Anderson serves in this way. She's
our prosecuting attorney. So she would

290
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:35,520
submit the ticket with information
to um district court

291
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:42,720
hearing. I guess I'm not understanding
why someone would hesitate to

292
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:48,640
They're trying to build a house. They're
trying to get into this house.

293
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:52,720
Why would they Why would they not comply
with what experts say is necessary to do

294
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:59,440
that?
>> It's not always about building anything.

295
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:04,720
It's not about construction. It's about
alteration, electrical alterations.

296
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,559
So,
>> well, I guess you know what you're

297
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,039
talking Well, we have
we have a circumstance right now.

298
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,799
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. We may

299
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:17,520
» and it's electrical.
>> Yeah. We may need to do this. So, I

300
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:23,919
don't I'm just asking the board for to
be the temporary code enforcement to

301
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:27,360
write tickets until we hire.
>> So, moved.

302
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:33,440
» Okay. We have Do we have support?
>> So, hold on a minute. [clears throat]

303
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:38,320
This should actually be separate items
on the agenda if we're doing two

304
00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:42,880
separate motions. I believe because we
already made a motion to move postpone

305
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:45,279
this a month because it would take time
for the letters to

306
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,679
» I don't think we need to postpone it. I
just need to know how to put it in the

307
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,080
minutes.
>> Oh, that's interesting.

308
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:57,279
» So, first, so we have have we already
approved the language for the zoning

309
00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:02,080
administrator code enforcement.
>> We just did that.

310
00:27:58,159 --> 00:28:06,720
» We've done that. So, so this is an
addition.

311
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:11,200
» It should have been an addition to the
>> what we can do. If we have an incident,

312
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:15,600
it's going to take time for letters to
go out.

313
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:19,520
» So, if we don't, we could we could
revisit it at the

314
00:28:17,679 --> 00:28:24,720
» Well, I mean, I want to get the process
in. I don't want to hold up people

315
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:29,840
getting into their houses. Well, the
first thing I what what I'm saying is

316
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:33,200
there has to be four possibly five
letters. That will take some time.

317
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:38,320
» That's probably three months.
>> Oh, before somebody before even be able

318
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,960
I see. I see.
>> Okay. So, we could put it off till next

319
00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:44,000
month.
>> Yeah. Just do that.

320
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:47,520
» We just sent our first letter.
>> Okay. Then just do that just because I I

321
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,440
don't know how to
>> Okay.

322
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,360
Okay. No problem.
>> All right.

323
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:57,360
» So, yeah, jot that down. I'll put that
on the agenda for next month.

324
00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:01,679
» And the motion to tie for lack of
support.

325
00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:05,159
» Let's say
>> put to rest.

326
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:12,559
» Okay.
>> Any citizens comments?

327
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:17,919
» One quick question. Is there this job?
Is that a formal application to apply

328
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:23,039
for the job or Well, we'll ask you um
for interested applicants, send in a

329
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:27,120
resume. I was talking to you a couple
weeks ago. I said I was interested and I

330
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,440
never heard that I had to do anything
above that.

331
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:34,559
» Yeah. It's just that you know just we
understand like it's the code

332
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:37,679
enforcement. Um I mean um Mr. Zenis I
can get you a job description for you to

333
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:42,880
look it up.
>> Oh, but it didn't have it did not have

334
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,720
the last number nine.
>> Number nine.

335
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,120
» I've got it.
>> So did you get number nine?

336
00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:51,520
» Yes.
>> Okay.

337
00:29:47,679 --> 00:29:55,520
» Okay. All right. So you can come come
talk to me and I can describe it more in

338
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,960
that in detail for you.
>> Okay.

339
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,840
» Okay.
>> Anyone else has questions?

340
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:07,520
» Um here's the um reports that I
requested

341
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:13,679
from the Freedom of Information Act
regarding the accidents at

342
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:18,159
intersections. And just to say this
isn't complete for the fact that each

343
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,600
No, they're all separate. There's only
one copy.

344
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,919
» Oh,
>> at the top of each one 2024 Meiser and

345
00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:28,159
Indian Trail.
>> Uhhuh.

346
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:33,200
» 2025 Meiser. Now, this is why I'm saying
for no good. Look at the total

347
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:36,000
incidents. They're exactly the same.
Wow.

348
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:40,799
» So, I've been going back and forth with
u the St. Clair County Sheriff officer

349
00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:46,399
regarding it.
>> She says that it's it's normal. This is

350
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:51,200
fine.
We know at the corner of Meisner and

351
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,960
Palms that it's St. Clair County Sheriff
that shows up,

352
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,559
» right?
>> You have to request information for

353
00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:00,320
exactly what you want.
>> So that's what I I did. I wanted St.

354
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:03,600
Cloud Sheriff.
>> Well, as I'm printing these out, I

355
00:31:01,919 --> 00:31:11,440
realized if you look, it's Michigan
State um letter. So I again emailed her.

356
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:16,080
The string of emails is just crazy. You
can't talk. Like I'm like then somebody

357
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:22,320
needs to explain these reports to me
because how can this be and even the

358
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:26,240
incidents within the total number is the
same

359
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:30,240
» like reasons why the accident happened.
>> Um and when you voicemail you get a

360
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:34,399
return email
>> like there's nobody to actually say come

361
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:37,760
on let's go over these reports together.
Let's just say

362
00:31:35,679 --> 00:31:42,720
» the mission state police should call or
>> uh no St. Clair County Sheriff. So that

363
00:31:39,679 --> 00:31:47,039
now her answer yesterday was it's all
the same though, [clears throat]

364
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:51,039
» but it wasn't the same when I were you
talking to a clerk up there. Were you

365
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:56,480
talking to one of the um border patrol?
Um

366
00:31:52,080 --> 00:32:02,640
» um she's she's a um
I mean I have her name and everything.

367
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:08,159
» Um but I want to say she's an officer,
but you know how some work at the desk,

368
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:14,320
» right? Well, there's a there's um oh, I
forget his name. Who's a deputy who's in

369
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:19,120
charge of the road patrol up there?
>> Up there.

370
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:22,399
» This is her bottom of her email.
>> Okay.

371
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:26,799
» So, I guess it doesn't say who she is.
What she is.

372
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:31,919
» Okay. Captain patrol. I could get the
captain of the road patrol.

373
00:32:29,957 --> 00:32:35,640
[cough] You may have to after meeting
your contact information.

374
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:44,880
And uh so I have an email back to her
saying, "Wait, something's not right." I

375
00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:49,840
didn't even look at these, but as soon
as I seen the state logo, okay, that's

376
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:55,279
why the accidents are only five. If you
look at Meer Palms, this is a 24.

377
00:32:52,559 --> 00:33:00,000
» I believe though all like information on
that that the sheriff's department does

378
00:32:57,519 --> 00:33:02,799
funnel that to the state police and they
do a lot of

379
00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:07,200
» and that would be fine. If it is all one
total, that's fine, too. I don't care.

380
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,000
The point is, I don't believe these
totals are correct. So,

381
00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:14,799
» all right.
really just I I went to the road

382
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:22,399
commission meeting and I brought that up
today this morning and and one of the

383
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:30,000
fellas um said that he had
I'm not sure exactly where he was from

384
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:36,080
but but he he had gone down um Meister
and almost didn't stop at Paul's road

385
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:41,200
and he thought it was because of the
roundabout traffic being deterred when

386
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:45,519
they were putting that up and that's why
there were so many accidents cuz there

387
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:51,200
was the people were unfamiliar
>> then that could very well be um I know

388
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:55,039
cuz I talked to them before about a
four-way here and they're hesitant

389
00:33:53,039 --> 00:33:58,880
because Palms Road is a truck route.
>> Yeah.

390
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:03,279
» Now they're more receptive when Church
Road gets paid from Norway Highway to

391
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:08,879
Meisner a four-way stop there because
either Church Road nor Meer are truck

392
00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:12,079
truck routes. So, um, that's the one I
know that's going to be the thing that

393
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:13,280
» they they did tell me they're going to
look into it.

394
00:34:12,879 --> 00:34:18,159
» Yeah,
>> because like the Indian Trail that's not

395
00:34:15,359 --> 00:34:21,200
in Castle. So,
>> I was just using that as another

396
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:23,679
example.
That report actually says the same each

397
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,639
year.
>> I would like to see a warway at Meer and

398
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:32,720
the Palms. I think that didn't save.
>> Well, I mean, I I don't want that. I

399
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:37,440
actually I would actually totally fight
that. I would be standing at that corner

400
00:34:34,399 --> 00:34:40,960
fighting it. Well, the the engineer was
there today and and she said she would

401
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,560
look into it, too,
>> right? So,

402
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:45,839
» um
>> we'll see.

403
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,879
» There's just, you know, like I said last
meeting, I'm not for the one at church

404
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:53,280
adviser either.
>> Well, why?

405
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:58,320
» Because people are too busy in their own
heads anymore to pay attention. And the

406
00:34:56,639 --> 00:35:02,880
more things you have them pay attention
to, the less it's going to get paid

407
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:08,640
attention. I bet though the people that
live in the area will disapp

408
00:35:05,839 --> 00:35:16,880
I live on a stop sign. I wish there
wasn't one there. Go

409
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:19,760
on your way. Don't stop and squeal and
everything else that comes with living

410
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,160
on a corner.
>> I mean, you guys don't understand what

411
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:26,640
it's like living on a corner.
>> Yeah. Church in in Liz near the summit

412
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:30,560
is going to be killed on that corner.
>> Well, somebody's going to jail.

413
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:33,680
» I understand that. But that road they
used to they don't nobody pays attention

414
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,800
on that corner.
>> No.

415
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,960
» Yeah.
>> And there could be some issues there

416
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:43,119
regarding when it used to be church road
had to stop or misner had to stop and

417
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,480
church was the
>> drive. Yeah.

418
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:50,079
» You know there's a lot of little changes
that happened and

419
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:54,640
» well I I did that one years ago up on
Grasset where Grasset used to be the

420
00:35:52,079 --> 00:36:01,760
drive-thru for year. Okay. before we
stopped there at um Gratchet and W.

421
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:06,960
Well, they Grashet was always the
drive-thru. Well, they changed it so at

422
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:12,160
night there was a stop at Grath through
W and so wrong.

423
00:36:09,839 --> 00:36:15,839
» I I actually almost went through that
one night because I used to own a shop

424
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,720
at the corner.
>> No, that's confusing.

425
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:19,760
» That's a that area is that's a local
road.

426
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:24,400
» It's a local
>> Well, it's a county road, I should say,

427
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:31,680
» right? It shouldn't be that way that
that crash should not be the one.

428
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:36,800
» I just had a few come in today. Um they
just did it up in Grant Township where

429
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:42,240
they put one of these um the the for the
speed the the radar thing that shows

430
00:36:39,359 --> 00:36:46,400
that they say that actually lowers. So
I'm thinking hey maybe like on my road

431
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:51,640
maybe a good thing. So I'm going to
investigate.

432
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:51,640
» Amen. And then one other question

433
00:36:51,839 --> 00:36:59,119
that you guys just moved into the
general fund account. What happens and

434
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:02,960
what constitutes an emergency and does
that money ever move back

435
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:08,079
» to the general?
>> The road the road commission determines

436
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:14,079
whether it's or somebody calls and says,
you know, we've got and it always

437
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:20,160
happens usually by the overpasses.
it just crers out, you know, and um and

438
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:23,119
or the road commissioner will tell us or
a resident will tell us then, you know,

439
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,119
we're not going through that.
>> So every year we just automatically do

440
00:37:25,839 --> 00:37:30,800
20 and it's always useful.
>> What it is then what they do there is

441
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:35,520
they'll just put some limestone down.
They don't they don't come in grade that

442
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:39,920
because when they do at that time,
especially in the frost, they'll just

443
00:37:37,359 --> 00:37:45,119
turn that into soup. So what they do is
they'll put some limestone down, level

444
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:49,400
it off a bit to deal with and limestone
that stuff's cost.

445
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,560
» Thank you.
>> Yeah.

446
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:57,200
» And the prices are due to increase.
>> Okay. Any other questions? Yeah.

447
00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:04,160
» Any other questions?
>> Okay. Um board comments.

448
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:11,920
» I have one. Um, I contacted the grant
program administrator from the MAMC

449
00:38:07,839 --> 00:38:18,079
um for our reimbursement for the ramp
and he said that it was included with

450
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:23,440
our request was included with their
quarterly request to the MEDC. I don't

451
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:27,359
know who the MEDC is, but he said that
he's hoping within the next two weeks

452
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,839
he'll get word and then the checks will
be distributed. So, just following up on

453
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,200
that.
>> Yep. So hopefully within the next month

454
00:38:32,079 --> 00:38:37,680
we should get some money back.
>> And the ramp project um we had a local

455
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:43,119
contractor work on it. He did a good
job. It doesn't look finished cuz it's

456
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:50,160
not he's waiting for the um the weather
the wood to age a bit and then he'll

457
00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:53,680
come and refinish it. So all right that
>> Okay, Gia.

458
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:59,520
» Okay. So, I went to the road commission
meeting this morning and I found out and

459
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:05,839
I don't know if that was just me that
didn't know because sometimes it is that

460
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:10,960
electric cars don't pay tax
>> when they because they don't they don't

461
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:15,680
get gas. So, they don't pay tax on gas.
>> So, they just charge.

462
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,359
» So, they have to pay more for their
permits and stuff.

463
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,800
» Okay.
>> I did not know that but thinking about

464
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,880
it. Yeah. It's
>> weird. Mhm.

465
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:28,640
» Yeah.
>> So, anyway, I found that out. Um,

466
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:33,119
let's see. The stone the stone prices
are going to be available in February.

467
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,800
And then there's an annual meeting. So,
you're going to get a

468
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:41,040
» email and there's different times.
>> Yeah. We're always the road commission.

469
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,520
We always meet with the road commission
in late February.

470
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:49,040
» 17th.
>> Yeah. So, we'll um and we go up there.

471
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:53,119
Board members want to come. We discussed
that give us the cost of what the

472
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:59,200
limestone with the chloride's going to
be in different programs are doing.

473
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,480
» Shame.
>> Okay.

474
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:07,920
» Yeah.
>> So, Sanford Highway and Watams Road is

475
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:10,480
going to get um round about
>> this year.

476
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:15,200
» What? I'm sorry.
>> St. Highway and Watsams.

477
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:22,839
» Oh, they're going to get a roundabout.
and Shay and Stargo.

478
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,839
» Shay and Star.

479
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:37,240
Did you see those big holes on the side?
>> Yeah, I didn't like that.

480
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:37,240
» Wow.

481
00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:42,680
» Let's see what else.

482
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:49,200
That's it.
>> Okay. Thank you, Dan.

483
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:52,800
» Oh, but I have another question. I'm
sorry.

484
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:58,160
» Okay. So, I got this I I don't know if
it was today or yesterday's m and and

485
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:04,480
I'm looking at this for inside of
Lancing. So, the different um

486
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:12,079
bills that were passed in December,
>> I don't know if that's going to include

487
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:15,760
everybody in the whole state. landslits.
>> The first 10 acres

488
00:41:14,319 --> 00:41:19,119
» of a parent
>> tract is to divide it up to 10 parcels.

489
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,440
» Yep.
>> Mhm.

490
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:26,960
» 10 one acre.
>> Yeah. But how can how can that be in a

491
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:32,800
rural community? I know
>> that depends on wells.

492
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:36,400
» Yes. And septic fields. Yes.
>> Well, yeah.

493
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,280
» Water.
>> Yeah. But we're protected by our

494
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,599
» That's right.
>> our zoning.

495
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:49,480
» Well, that's a good question. That's a
good question.

496
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:55,440
» Yes.
>> But and if and if they are, are they

497
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:59,240
going to supply us with water?
>> Right. I mean, that's

498
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:08,960
» Well, it's interesting. Um folks, last
week I was looking at the minutes from

499
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:15,839
30 years ago and the planning commission
and they talked about our cases width to

500
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:21,760
depth ratio for our lots is 20 to1. They
talked about making it 4 to one. But

501
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:29,520
they their view at the time was having
the long deep lots would preserve our

502
00:42:26,319 --> 00:42:33,359
rural character because once you break
apart land it's hard to put it back

503
00:42:31,839 --> 00:42:40,560
together.
>> Developers like big undeveloped lots. If

504
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:45,280
you go down 26 mile road, you see McCome
Township with those big side bars.

505
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:52,240
» That's future grounds for subdivision
cuz 10 years ago, 20 years ago, that was

506
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:58,560
on 23 mile road, those side cars.
>> So, and that's one and I was thinking

507
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:04,240
that that was set back in the 60s, our
thing. And uh I said, "Yeah, that that

508
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:07,200
would do that." So, Richmond Township,
they have a thing where they do

509
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:12,079
agricultural preservation. They allow
development by the road smaller lots but

510
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:18,319
behind them the bigger agricultural
fields are protected. So but that was a

511
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:24,000
decision they made back at that time
too. So um yeah they knew development

512
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:30,160
coming when 94 was put in in the early
60s through the township here.

513
00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:36,319
» Okay. Any questions?
>> Nope. network.

514
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:43,839
» Um I got a little postcard in the mail
today um just as I was coming uh from

515
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:50,319
St. Clair County. It says their new 2025
um updated platin. So I'm buying one for

516
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:55,680
our house and I'd like to have one for
the township just to see it's have 25

517
00:43:53,440 --> 00:44:00,000
years of growth and that's and splits
and things like that.

518
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:05,359
» So that'll be good. I have with me. So,
I'll um maybe put in an order tomorrow.

519
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:10,560
I think the platin
mat itself is $45.

520
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:13,920
So,
>> a new one.

521
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:19,440
» Okay. And I read I read something else
in here and I can't find it now, but do

522
00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:24,400
they move the election to May?
>> No, there there's May is always set for

523
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:27,680
an election if it's there's like a
school election or something. Okay.

524
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:31,680
Yeah. It's not the
>> I haven't heard that we have anything.

525
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:37,520
» All right.
>> Okay. Um Okay. I tal already talked

526
00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:41,440
about um right now the church road
paving right now. They're just they I've

527
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,640
been getting a lot of calls because
they've been putting stakes and that

528
00:44:43,359 --> 00:44:48,800
what they're going to do some of their
surveying work. Um people have been

529
00:44:47,359 --> 00:44:54,240
asking when they're going to do the
paving. It's set for 2026 sometime. They

530
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:59,760
haven't did the engineering work. Once
they do that and start to get some

531
00:44:56,079 --> 00:45:05,200
quotes, they'll know more. Um the road
commission did tell me the um director

532
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:10,960
that we're going to be doing a double
chip seal on Springborn Lane, Mismir

533
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:16,400
Lane, and Lindsay Lane. That's that new
surface preservation program. So that'll

534
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:22,319
be what they're going to spend it on
this year. If the funding continues to

535
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:27,440
stay, next year we'll do putty cut lane
and Sincler highway lane and [snorts]

536
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:32,079
any extra we could put toward if Sincler
highway doesn't need it, we could put it

537
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:36,480
toward our limestone hall, our main
limestone hall.

538
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:41,920
» But they're just doing the first mile of
Church Road off of 26.

539
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:46,359
» Uh, no, they'll be doing the um two
miles from Highway to Me.

540
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:51,440
So, what do you prefer? What do you
think is going to happen with your truck

541
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:55,839
traffic then?
>> Trust me, it's bad enough now on my You

542
00:45:54,079 --> 00:45:57,520
say that's not a truck route.
>> Yeah,

543
00:45:56,240 --> 00:46:00,319
» it's a truck route.
>> And it's not just tough trucking.

544
00:45:59,546 --> 00:46:04,480
[laughter]
>> Well, anyone that trucks that travel, it

545
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,839
should be local that actually live in
the township or that. It's not a through

546
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:12,000
um
>> Yeah, it's not to have a job.

547
00:46:10,319 --> 00:46:15,200
» It's not supposed to know. Well, that's
miser county road, but I could check

548
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:21,880
into that.
>> West Highway when they posted that, that

549
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,880
eliminated a lot of that. So,

550
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:27,599
» Sler Highway is a local.
>> Well, that's what it's going to be.

551
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,640
» No,
>> that's what it's going to be.

552
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:35,520
» Are you serious?
>> I think so. 55.

553
00:46:32,319 --> 00:46:42,480
» It's 55 on Meer,
>> which I would like to see somebody 55

554
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:47,760
on. Yeah, there there's nobody driving
unless you broke down the road. The

555
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:51,520
» the speed limit on our um limestone
roads is 55 miles an hour unless posted.

556
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:56,960
Yeah.
>> In order to go through that process,

557
00:46:54,560 --> 00:47:01,280
you would have to get
it's archer. You have to have the

558
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:04,319
director of road commission um
representative from the sheriff's

559
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:09,920
department representative from the state
police and from they do a study

560
00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:11,599
» and then you have somebody to enforce
it.

561
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:16,640
» Yeah.
>> Copy.

562
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:22,079
» Yeah. That's the thing. The sh um
residents on highway trucks. Okay.

563
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:25,599
Engine brake. Instead of using their
regular brakes, they use the engine to

564
00:47:23,359 --> 00:47:30,560
slow it down. And you always have
>> Oh, is that what that means?

565
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:34,480
Jake,
>> they would like a sign up. They have

566
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:38,319
further one further down on Marine City
Highway near the roundabout. I mean

567
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:43,680
Fredmore Highway near the roundabout at
lots. No engine break. Well, I talked to

568
00:47:42,079 --> 00:47:47,920
the road commission. They said, "Well,
you have to enforce it. It's on a county

569
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,200
road. The sheriff's they sit there
parked a lot.

570
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:54,240
» I think they have one on King Road
between 31."

571
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:57,839
» So, the thing is that I'm going to press
for more on that.

572
00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:01,920
» Yeah. Because yeah, that's a problem.
Especially those folks, they're trying

573
00:47:59,359 --> 00:48:06,640
to sleep at night, the trucks come down,
>> that wakes them up from that.

574
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:10,079
» We had a sign last year someone had
apparently there was a problem with uh

575
00:48:08,319 --> 00:48:13,839
idiots passing school buses instead of
stopping to let the kids go on and

576
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:18,319
someone I don't know who it was, but
there was actually a trailer mounted

577
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:20,640
light right on there for I think for the
summer.

578
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:25,440
» Yeah. What happened is it was there on
my road and we got the sheriff's

579
00:48:23,359 --> 00:48:30,160
department to monitor that for a while
there because that there was people who

580
00:48:27,119 --> 00:48:34,319
was the bus was there fourway
>> and they passed it

581
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:38,640
» really
>> I know somebody whose child was killed

582
00:48:36,319 --> 00:48:42,079
that way
>> off the bus is striking

583
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:45,280
» yeah you know like someone said well
there's no house on your side but kids

584
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:47,440
are impulsive
>> yes they are

585
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,920
» you know they can even look at they
could be running

586
00:48:48,319 --> 00:48:55,760
» a lot of times I don't even see him.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's just

587
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:58,640
» Yeah. But uh Okay. Anything else?
>> That was

588
00:48:56,319 --> 00:49:03,119
» okay. I think we're
>> um Thank you for the questions and

589
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:07,280
Denny, thank you for your concern, your
safety. That is very well intended and

590
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:11,920
appreciated. So,
>> okay, we're up to a journ.
