21
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:35,319
that report Cindy or did you just put it
I just put it in there you not I said a

22
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:42,319
couple questions sure
um well I don't know the exact system to

23
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:48,040
how things get fixed that are
broken I just go and ask in the

24
00:02:50,640 --> 00:03:01,280
office so get rep okay and who you who's
supposed to do that I mean what uh the I

25
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:06,480
all I always just told about supervisor
and pass the supervisor's

26
00:03:03,959 --> 00:03:13,239
office okay seems like that might be
something we I mean there's no uh

27
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:17,239
building manager um I thought Isaac was
that helps take care of the building

28
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:22,760
that's why I always ask him to repair
things other than that I don't know has

29
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:29,400
to repair is there any in your office
that could do any of those things

30
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:37,840
or for that repair stuff I mean I can't
reach electric up on top I um the

31
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:41,439
furnace and MC um that's so specifically
I was wondering just about the carpet

32
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:45,680
cleanings but that a cleaning service
isn't going to clean your carpeting a

33
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,920
cleaning service vacuums right and then
I also figure out who can I hire that's

34
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:54,760
what I'm think please so did you find
any bids or anything no I have not I

35
00:03:51,959 --> 00:04:00,840
have a couple bids for office screen so
I'm GNA probably okay so that's what I

36
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:06,920
just I guess that's first St um I
thought the last couple meetings that we

37
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:12,760
gave out couple bids yeah oh I
just so I didn't know if they were in I

38
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:21,639
could give them to you if be bu and they
vary from $35 to

39
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:27,160
$50 okay so it depends on the quality of
cing how much we want it we want to pay

40
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:34,919
right and I just didn't remember that's
right that well BS that's

41
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:38,960
it might be big like I say I and then
yeah that' be great and then the you

42
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:43,720
know the carpet cleaning I know is a
separate deal and right I don't know

43
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:49,080
maybe ask that company whoever just
clean the carpets at least once they've

44
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:53,199
been installed since leasel here and
that

45
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:57,960
was three supervisors
ago and

46
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:04,960
they so I I
think for the

47
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,960
for the supervisor to

48
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:17,919
send I said it's just it varies quite a
bit and variation because one is like

49
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:23,840
$30 and then one's like
150 next one was like 300 so it's like

50
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:32,440
what are you going to what do you really
get clean at $30 a day and and I did

51
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:37,600
look at Isaac's um jobs you know and
everything is and if I need to approach

52
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:42,560
someone else in regards to it right we
will have to figure that out if there's

53
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:48,199
things that your office is able to
do I mean the lightl no I couldn't do

54
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:54,160
that because I don't have a lad and I
for okay and it wasn't really actually

55
00:05:51,160 --> 00:06:00,600
the light bul it's the the housing
inside of it this whoops so we may have

56
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:05,720
to call so many then I'm not
El

57
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:12,479
somebody well I only asked you about who
because you said you were too short

58
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:16,039
yeah because do enough stuff no no
that's my point is I wasn't asking you

59
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,919
to do it I thought oh just a matter of
breaching you know no changing light

60
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:26,479
bulbs I mean shoot I could do that I we
have to change ours and I mean

61
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:30,919
everything all yeah so okay um yeah
that's good I just wanted a little more

62
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:34,720
information on
so Genie correct me if I'm wrong but

63
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,400
sort of going back into history the
supervisor's office has typically been

64
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:42,400
responsible for Mechanicals in the
overall building yes whereas things like

65
00:06:40,919 --> 00:06:49,160
individual cleaning could go to each
individual Department as well that could

66
00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:52,520
um yes they they well yes and no clearly
the supervisor's office is in charge of

67
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:57,280
the facility which would include the
cleaning and the maintenance of the

68
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:02,400
facility and so if there's and we' have
had this discussion and we have had this

69
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:06,680
discussion the three of us and so it's a
matter of the supervisor you know she

70
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:10,319
presented some and the supervisor was
going to get some more and then

71
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,840
presenting us for us to approve any
other maintenance outside of the super

72
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:19,199
and it's also understanding that Isaac's
role has changed over the last two years

73
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:28,240
so what okay when he emailed me it said
building clip so so what his job was I

74
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,240
know Jerry

75
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:37,639
still try to say yeah so but I mean even
in the Vil it said building clerk so I

76
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:42,759
mean no I I I I understand that but
again Isaac um I I've been standing up

77
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:50,039
for Isaac multiple times
so no no no what thing

78
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:54,759
is I asked amarie today or yesterday for
the job description and we're going to

79
00:07:52,080 --> 00:08:01,520
be looking at that because he's a
fulltime case worker might be that do

80
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:06,960
you have to hire um a part-time position
even on the supervisor then how is that

81
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:12,759
going for you hiring someone on your end
I Haven had a chance to find someone yet

82
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:17,000
because I've been trying to read value U
okay great yeah I think that's something

83
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:23,560
we're GNA have look get for for the
supervisor side do we have any more

that's in the board report that was I
think for about 14,000 some change the

105
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:38,920
way you see on that then this this
company here that will submit for a NFR

106

talking about the last few months and we

108
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,440
to get moving on

109
00:10:50,839 --> 00:10:57,639
that yeah approval for the I'm asking
for approval for the first B the one

110
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:02,760
that came with the uh the one that came
with your pack with your board pack I

111
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,639
just the what's the name of
company the second one or the one the

112
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:12,200
one the the one that's included is Bron
Peterson pet environmental okay they do

113
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,880
a lot of they do a lot of work of
underground storage thanks so we have to

114
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,839
add that
me

115
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:26,120
approval give them the approval to go
with the Peterson Peterson yeah the

116
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:31,079
second one is is H and I think the first
one other one that that gave you mhm um

117
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:39,560
that one was
17 yeah uh

118
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:47,399
17 yeah yep 17 and chain so uh the first
one the the one in the board is one for

119
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:50,720
appr so did you move for that no we were
just we were just kind of hasing out

120
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:56,279
what we were looking for we needed the
um what's the name it again a motion

121
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:03,720
approve Peterson
Environ just keep in mind if if

122
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:10,560
if the worst case scenario they find
something it's going go a little

123
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:14,920
bit it depends on the uh the
concentration that type of thing so they

124
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:20,760
but that's going to be a step by step
but right now this is

125
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:25,959
initial get get the soling done I think
they do every 5 foot in the surrounding

126
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:30,959
area where we believe the tank was um
and then go from there how many years

127
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:38,959
ago was it 19
89 is when it was pulled out I think

128
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:43,480
yeah anticipating some um consequences
that you

129
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:48,760
not I don't think so I I think based on
what I found you know the the leak was

130
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:55,519
not the tank itself it was the fil the
fil stem that that you know that went

131
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:58,880
into the tank so the tank itself was
still solid and you know there wasn't a

132
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:04,680
problem with the tank that I don't think
we have that capacity for a lot of sage

133
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,800
from the from the you know I mean so
it's just a matter of when the things

134
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:14,800
being
filled so so I'd like to move to approve

135
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:22,519
the 14800 for the um Peterson and
environmental that company

136
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:26,480
um I'm wondering before I stop I'm
wondering if you want to have a cushion

137
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:31,120
for that in case there is something
small well uh

138
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,920
I think if there's going to if there's
going to be any change to that we can

139
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,680
probably address that when the time
comes because I think the reason

140
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:44,360
there'll be there's going to be a change
it's probably not going to be

141
00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:47,639
small thought that in my head too it's
probably going be big one so I will

142
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:52,680
approve the
1400 14,000 and then you have to put

143
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:57,759
back that you might come back for more
or just free if we if we need to if we

144
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:01,040
find we find contamination that's an
issue then be able

145
00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:04,120
be a whole

146
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:10,160
second we thought there was to be
something little I would have extended

147
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:18,000
it but
uh generally for in the anything that's

148
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:21,199
in the ground usually isn't little so I
so I would hold it at the

149
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:28,519
14,800 I'll
second any more

150
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:32,880

173
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:17,279
to answer any questions so have you feel
the overall meeting land I felt like the

174
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:23,639
meeting red uh shed a light on some of
the issues especially uh by the railroad

175
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:28,240
tracks over at Fairfield in Round Lake
uh where especially in a Long Lake Drive

176
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,959
where there's continual backups of
people trying to turn turn from Long

177
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:36,600
Lake on the Fairfield and people turn it
over by the Light over there uh that is

178
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:41,319
consistently as people brought up one of
the most dangerous areas but also some

179
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:46,720
of the most congested was near 120 and
60 where as we know if we've ever come

180
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:53,639
on from Gilmer up to field trying to get
past 60 it's always backed up um and

181
00:16:49,880 --> 00:17:00,720
it's a a huge inconvenience for traffic
times yeah during traffic during rush

182
00:16:56,079 --> 00:17:05,880
hour yeah um so I not as bad as
hanesville and

183
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,079
120 that's constant that's all day it is
all day yeah yeah um but certainly fair

184
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,400
and the other thing with Fairfield row
that people pointed out is that there's

185
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:20,319
no sidewalks for the mass majority of it
near Round Lake Beach the sidewalks that

186
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:24,839
are really there aren't up to Ada
standards so there's you know curbs with

187
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:29,240
no ramps so there's a lot of issues for
accessibility for people without cars or

188
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:33,799
who are just trying to ride a bike to
connect to one of the local parks or

189
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:39,280
Trails we have so um if you have
concerns or issues with Fairfield Road

wood shifts in and making it where we
have seniors or anybody who's doing the

211
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:29,720
garden they're to be able to fit it's
going to be a little bit more of a of a

212
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:34,480
beautific
to add to the township especially we

213
00:19:32,679 --> 00:19:38,360
have a lot of seniors that do programs
here they could just go right out the

214
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:43,120
door they could be able to sit on the
tabl they can sit on the the chairs they

215
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:48,080
can sit under the shade with the
umbrellas and just kind of appreciate um

216
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:51,400
our backyard that we have so staying for
the next project I was hoping that I was

00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:56,840
going to be here because I wanted um and
to be able to tell you guys what is

218
00:19:53,520 --> 00:20:02,360

have had so many um projects done not

219
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:07,400
just with the E Scouts but with all
these other organizations and youth that

220
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:11,559
it's not possible the township $ Dollar
for the most part maybe like a little

221
00:20:08,919 --> 00:20:19,320
bit of Maintenance um and that is
increased the value of the township not

222
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:24,960
only with you know Al question to the
tables all that but the atmosphere when

223
00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:30,360
people are able to come to the township
and use our facilities so that's kind

224
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:37,000
of um any other questionss if not we'll
have to wait on what you do it if not

225
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,000
we're going to go on to G

226
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:47,039
res we do that so anyways um I'm not
sure how often you guys read the

227
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:51,360
perspective magazine but there's always
training and this is an upcoming

228
00:20:49,159 --> 00:20:56,559
training for the
trustees and there's also training in

229
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:03,320
November where you get to go
to Springfield and he giv me other

230
00:21:00,679 --> 00:21:09,880
Township not just FR fees but
supervisors

231
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:14,600
and iway um Commissioners and just be
more a part of what's going on because

232
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:20,080
our Township we're we're we're little we
live in this little world of how to of

233
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:23,559
government works but if we go down if we
go to these events we're going to be

234
00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:27,880
able to meet with people and get better
ideas and get ourselves more educated so

235
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:32,720
if you guys are able to go to the
conference or you are able to go to one

236
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:37,840
of these um trainings and also there's a
lot of online training that you could

237
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:43,440
sign up for um let us know you'll be
reimbursed so there's no feed for you to

238
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:49,480
do it some of the webinars you can watch
at your own Leisure it'll just make us a

239
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:53,360
little bit more educated um and also one
part is learning what all the other

240
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:58,679
townships are doing so I um highly
suggest that you look into um getting

241
00:21:55,559 --> 00:22:06,440
trained or going on some of the webinars
I I just want to highlight get um we all

242
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:12,960
get all of us get emails all the time
townships on you know you have to just

243
00:22:09,159 --> 00:22:17,120
rely on the magazine um but when you see
something from the townships regarding

244
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:22,159
training I know all of us get tons of
emails every day but um they're worth

245
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:28,880
looking at and seeing if you want
participate because a lot of them are um

246
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:33,679
electronically based not in person so
consider and if you haven't been on to

247
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:42,000
the toi website it's another great place
for you to get your questions answered

248
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:42,000
or talk to um someone in t toi

249
00:22:42,159 --> 00:22:50,120
too the toi conference in November if
you haven't been highly recommend um the

250
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:53,799
stuff you can learn from other townships
and some of what they're doing is just

251
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:57,360
it's incredible you can see some of the
stuff that they do downstate that's

252
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:01,480
really out of scope because we have all
these fire protection districts and

253
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:06,720
Library districts everywhere you can see
how you know involved townships are in

254
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:10,279
everyday life down there um it's it's it
really is amazing and it's just a great

255
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,720
time to be get the network and Megan
presents down there sometimes

256
00:23:16,679 --> 00:23:24,200
so is always
there always there but you then you get

257
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:31,039
picked and choose what you want to do so
I went to um training outside of my

258
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:34,440
supervis role so I get a better
understanding of what the clerk does

259
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:40,279
what the trustees do I actually went
training um for the weekend with the

260
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:43,600
highway department last year because
technically I'm in charge of the highway

261
00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:49,120
department which is kind of crazy if you
think about it because it's not my

262
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:55,840
expertise but the way the law is um now
Bob has to go to me and ask me for um

263
00:23:53,159 --> 00:24:00,520
decisions to be made but being able to
spend the weekend uh you know things may

264
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:06,760
make a lot more sense you meet more
people uh so yeah Highway super

265
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:13,400
supervisor training I think um and it
was good I I learned a little more about

266
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:20,520
what Bob does and Bob does a lot so
thank you when Bob goes on vacation got

267
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:20,520
you to look over for really

268
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:34,000
relx about me spending a day with your
employees and you helping to see how you

269
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:37,960
guys do the roads and just spending the
day to see really what the highway

270
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:42,880
department does and it'll give me an
opportunity when people ask me about the

271
00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:48,840
on corporated road I'll have a lot more
um hi and life talks to me a lot about

272
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:54,640
things that actually pertain pertain to
what Bob does but they give me all their

273
00:24:51,799 --> 00:25:01,440
questions and then I have to go to
Bob Bob I know more about beavers and I

274
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:08,039
know more about what what did I asked
you last time last week what did they

275
00:25:04,919 --> 00:25:14,200
want I'm L I don't
remember something sand it was about

276
00:25:11,399 --> 00:25:20,880
getting sand and as much as I want to
know where to get local stand I do not

277
00:25:17,159 --> 00:25:27,440
but anyways um education is the key to
us beinging a stronger board yeah

278
00:25:23,679 --> 00:25:30,799
yeah okay anything else and now we're
going to move on to

279
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:41,039
V res resolution number 24
rs002 discussion possible adoption of a

280
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:49,159

00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:09,559
I oh all right I'll

286
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:20,159
second thank
you down that's okay Travis Hy from

287
00:26:16,919 --> 00:26:23,520
Brown Lake Beach this has been actually
a great new tradition that this board

288
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:28,799
has been carrying for the past three
years now of displaying the private flag

289
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:32,799
in the last three years I heard from
countless residents within the township

290
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:37,000
that's actually grateful that this has
been happening great tradition showing

291
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:43,080
that we're welcoming everyone into the
community here they don't feel

292
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:46,480
alone this has been also a great
tradition that's been happening with

293
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,919
many other local municipalities in the
county including the County Board and as

294
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:54,799
far as I'm aware of within the last
three years of this town I have not

295
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:58,840
heard of anyone making any formal
complaints or making any threats of a

296
00:26:56,679 --> 00:27:03,440
lawsuit about what this this Township
has been doing it's my hope that this

297
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:07,279
board will consider instead of
displaying it for the weekend of a

298
00:27:05,679 --> 00:27:11,200
certain weekend that would be displayed
throughout the entire month of June as

299
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:15,440
it has been from the county courthouse
along with many other municipalities and

300
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:19,240
we can join that list of showing that
Avon Township is welcome towards

301
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:25,679
everyone thank

00:27:57,519 --> 00:28:07,840
last what haven't been over 10
years um and I support us flying the

308
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:12,640
flags so I'm not here to um but I have
some issues that I just want to make

309
00:28:09,399 --> 00:28:19,519
sure that we think about and we commit
to forward that um there's a lot to

310
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:23,640
unpack in this decision and and it and
because I do think it's different for

311
00:28:21,919 --> 00:28:28,600
the month rather than the weekend if
that's what we're um that's what we're

312
00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:36,519
voting on um and one one of the things
that I just thought about is how sad it

313
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:41,440
is that you have that a community has to
ask for this and it has to have it to

314
00:28:39,679 --> 00:28:46,799
feel that they're going to enjoy the
freedoms and Liberties other Americans

315
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:54,440
enjoy so I I feel that but I feel that
for many communities and on whether is

316
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:59,720
historically uh marginalized communities
in in aan Township and and that's where

317
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:05,480
my concerns Li just what are we going to
do next and how are we going to what are

318
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:10,480
our procedures and policies going to be
for situation like this I mean already

319
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:18,039
tonight something was brought up and
there's probably more than

320
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:22,519
12 communities that might want are to
you and they're using I I read something

321
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:29,080
about government speech that they're
using we're using Avan Township for

322
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:35,159
government speech to to express an
opinion and and so we want to be fair

323
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:41,559
about it and Equitable about it and so I
feel

324
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:47,159
that voting yes should go with a
commitment um to move forward and really

325
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:53,480
get this buttoned up on how we're going
to handle this and how we're going to do

326
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:58,240
it because um we want to be fair
Equitable and protect ourselves were

327
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:03,279
kind of the things that I thought about
so and I I looked at the resolution and

328
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:08,399
the
um last thing it does say dedicated to

329
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:12,960
meeting the needs of everyone in our
community that this was one of your

330
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:17,159
warehouses especially those who have
been marginally under served so I

331
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:23,640
thought okay we're going to use this
resolution as something that we believe

332
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:28,799
in that we have to really believe in it
that's that's my two cents

333
00:30:28,919 --> 00:30:36,760
thank
you so citizen

334
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:40,840
question citizen here is there blowback
on this stuff on the flag being thrown

335
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:45,320
any
blowback I've had a com I've had a

336
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:51,440
combination I've had a combination of
people very supportive and some people

337
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,440
questioning while why we're flying the

338
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:59,240
flag it's more because it's government
it's government speech it's you know um

339
00:30:56,919 --> 00:31:07,360
it's up to the town up to the Villages
but it's actually up to us as a board to

340
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:11,519
decide okay py I can address some of
your questions maybe before you were um

341
00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:15,320
on the board I think it was you on the
board we adopted a policy

342
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:22,000
about about a flagline and and I can
also send you a memo that I wrote to the

343
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:28,639
board there was um a Supreme Court case
that came out last year out of Boston at

344
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:36,360
Boston I'd like to see it but I did read
I have a copy me Cas was called

345
00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:40,480
for um so significant case because a
differentiate between what is government

346
00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:45,480
speech and what is a public forum and so
by the boarding what flags fly we're

347
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:50,639
keeping it as Government speech which is
allowed it to be more narrow kered um

348
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:55,279
it's if anyone can come and just fly a
flag whenever they want that it becomes

349
00:31:52,559 --> 00:32:00,039
a public form and then for example if
someone just came and blew a flag then

350
00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:03,960
we have to allow that the township would
essentially give up the right to monitor

351
00:32:02,159 --> 00:32:08,240
which flags are flown and would have to
allow anyone who wanted to fly a flag to

352
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:13,639
do so even if it was for example like
the KKK so by having in place a policy

353
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:17,080
and by asking that for example you you
ask at at the beginning of the meeting

354
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:23,440
if we could have I I think you want like
a p FL to fly we could do that we would

355
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:27,200
just consider it our our um next meeting
that could be a request and then that

356
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:32,279
could fly if if the board chose to
approve that I think the hard part is

357
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:38,279
deciding so we have the juneth
too and I think that's already approved

358
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:43,080
in the that only gets a weekend that
only gets a certain amount of time with

359
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:50,480
that's the federal and state holiday um
and then how do we put the flags up

360
00:32:45,919 --> 00:32:57,120
which flag has priority over over
another one is it do we do we keep the

361
00:32:53,360 --> 00:33:01,720
pride flag for 30 days above the juneth
or just June

362
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:07,960
for that weekend gets switched there's a
lot of concerns when you start putting

363
00:33:04,639 --> 00:33:12,760
one above the other um it's just a lot
for us to think about where we don't

364
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:18,399
have a policy in place you know with
that and if we we move forward with this

365
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:24,360
one again it's things we have to think
about because things that are important

366
00:33:20,679 --> 00:33:29,240
to us somebody else may have that strong
of a belief and passion because whatever

367
00:33:27,399 --> 00:33:34,600
is going on in their life and their
family's life or their

368
00:33:31,639 --> 00:33:40,799
community and there is a
flag they might feel

369
00:33:37,919 --> 00:33:44,240
that it's it's their right to come here
and ask us to put up the flag and then

370
00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:47,919
we're going to have to make that
decision and we're going to have to go

371
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:57,039
to somebody and
say we're sorry we do not support

372
00:33:53,799 --> 00:34:01,360
your whatever it it might be and that's
something that we have to look at um you

373
00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:06,559
know in in the future that come up at
the next meeting or of time and I think

374
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:10,240
if I recall a lot of this was addressed
last year when we talked about jth where

375
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:13,560
state of Illinois has already provided
guidance on how they're handling it

376
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,960
that's been sort of where we've taken
guidance from the juneth flag was one of

377
00:34:15,919 --> 00:34:22,800
those particular things that's how that
discussion Point came up um the pride

378
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:27,159
flag the lgbtq flag is also one of those
items that the state has been very clear

379
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:31,320
on and they actually have it quoted in
their statute yeah so when we're looking

380
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:35,000
at those things we can use the state as
a guideline that's a very clear and

381
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:41,399
simple one yes
it we have the policy set up for pretty

382
00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:46,320
much all as long as it's state you know
okay then we're okay with buying it and

383
00:34:44,399 --> 00:34:51,280
I think to address you know du's comment
earlier that um every Memorial day since

384
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:55,159
I've been serving here the P flag has
been raised the flag has been treated to

385
00:34:53,040 --> 00:35:00,079
half staff until noon and then raised
the rest of the way for veteran State p

386
00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:06,760
flag again has been has been flowing on
our flag poll so um' been very conscious

387
00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:11,520
of honoring our loss and a commemorative
commemorative flag Falls within the flag

388
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:15,240
code itself from the United States so I
think that's not even a question there's

389
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:20,320
a like a list of four flags that are
acceptable I thought that we had address

390
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:25,560
that as well had SE I don't even know if
that's an item the Board needs to do

391
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,560
other than to say go bu a FL

392
00:35:27,839 --> 00:35:36,400
we've had
all because myol with public education

393
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:40,200
I've seen this crumble and fall and glad
that we haven't had any crumbles and

394
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:44,800
Falls but we need to protect oursel and
policy is the way to do that and that's

395
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:50,800
why we need to make sure I think you
just need to get Pat a copy of all yeah

396
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:54,119
well and I think that if we're so I
really spent some time and ask some

397
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:59,359
questions of people and no one told me
they was already a poliy and I and I

398
00:35:57,359 --> 00:36:05,920
feel feel like it would have been nice
actually to get the resolution before

399
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:09,240
Saturday and to know you know if if
we're just acting on something we've

400
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:12,880
already decided that's something a new
trustee should go well I I think it's

401
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:17,920
different because the resolutions has
changed every year or two we've gone

402
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:25,400
from the weekend we've gone to a
displayed so it's never been a constant

403
00:36:22,359 --> 00:36:30,680
we don't have something that says in the
policy it's going to be for 30 days

404
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:38,040
every year it's been changed so talking
about the lgbtq flag it it's we've had

405
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:44,520
different policies each year so this
would be our fourth

406
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:49,280
resolution on the flag so it's not so
it's it it's not

407
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:52,720
constant right but there would be a you
know to know there was a place to go

408
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:56,040
read and see where we stand would have
been very helpful would have saved me a

409
00:36:54,680 --> 00:37:00,200
lot of our
data yeah yes

410
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,200
talk to
me but I understand I just I do believe

411
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:11,839
that we do have to look at it a little
bit more and revamp it because um new

412
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:17,680
issues do come up every year and it's
something that we we climate is is

413
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:25,520
unrealistically changing every single
year and we need to be yeah I think

414
00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:29,680
so do we have any more discussion on
flag

415
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:35,640
I'll just say that I I talked to the
County Board and they did say there

416
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:41,480
wasn't any like okay we want to fly our
flag to which but I imagine that will

417
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:49,560
come you know for everybody because the
political climate is always changing but

418
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:54,359
so far you know that's what I Dr Sandy
Hearts well it's just for that first

419
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:59,800
person to come to us or just like the
first person who came to a board and

420
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:05,680
said we want you to fly this if if they
weren't expecting it we do have to be

421
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:10,560
prepared for what what could come
luckily we are we are we are we

422
00:38:08,359 --> 00:38:17,359
definitely are but we even if we make a
statement we're still going to have to

423
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:21,880
say why and be prepared for consequences
for people being okay with that because

424
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:26,240
what's really important to one people
one person is not important to other

425
00:38:24,359 --> 00:38:29,440
people you have to be able to see both
sides like

426
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:39,160
situation hey if there's no more
discussion roll

427
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:46,040
call trusty lefo hi trusty baa hi trusty
SLO hi trusty Kirby supervisor bman hi

428
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,040
motion

carries we have no executive sessions
tonight uh do we have any more public

430
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:10,319
comments I'm what Bob was talking about
on the so I presume that was the for

431
00:39:06,359 --> 00:39:16,000
tank that's assum removed that the the
township has to deal with it was removed

432
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:23,760
in the 89 has anybody reached that to
see if there's anys from many of the

433
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,760
numerous all all the state

434
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:37,119
how long is the contri viable for
inspection there's no close out from the

435
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:42,079
EPA so we're it doesn't there's no time
limit on that we have to have the EPA

436
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:46,880
sent us the letter they they initiated
it I said Hey where's your you know we

437
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:51,680
they were I think during Co they started
going through all the old records and

438
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:55,920
found and started addressing all these
uh storage CH that maybe have been

439
00:39:54,079 --> 00:39:57,839
removed maybe it was done legally
everything was done but they didn't have

440
00:39:57,119 --> 00:40:02,240
any
close out pay for it to prove that and

441
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:06,960
so they came to we did get the letter
and said hey you know so even if it's

442
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:10,440
removed and it gets a Cen tested so has
to get tested if they don't have if they

443
00:40:08,839 --> 00:40:15,200
don't have the backup paperwork to show
it they don't have the documentation to

444
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:21,680
show it you know according to the the
previous uh Highway commissioner few a

445
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:26,240
few back it was done and it was removed
uh correctly and and the the uh

446
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:31,160
contaminant so was haed out everything
was done appropriately except for the

447
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:38,480
followup documentation so since there
isn't any they they request it so we

448
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:38,480
have to prove to them that it was

449
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:48,040
done the ep the EPA hired 5500 people
right

450
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,040
now and it's all

451
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,920
do let's know that

452
00:40:58,839 --> 00:41:05,200
any more public
comments members remarks what anyone

453
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:11,160
like to make a
mark so this is uh I very much pertains

454
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:14,839
to you you've done a wonderful job
reaching out to the community

455
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:20,119
beautifying the space we have we talk
about it almost every meeting and I

456
