some sort for those who pay the ultimate
[1:24] price to
protect give us our country to give us
[1:28] our Liberty our freedom
this month ends in Memorial Day which
[1:33] that's what it's for and is there a
protocol for requesting the
[1:41] flag um there there is we have to go
before the
[1:48] board but the protocol to get it to go
before the
[1:53] board it has to make it to the agenda to
go before the board we just have to
[1:57] request
[2:03] any any other public
[2:07] comments how about reports anyone would
like to give a reports
[2:18] tonight okay new business can I have a i
that they were were you going to give
[2:25] that report Cindy or did you just put it
I just put it in there you not I said a
[2:31] couple questions sure
um well I don't know the exact system to
[2:39] how things get fixed that are
broken I just go and ask in the
[2:50] office so get rep okay and who you who's
supposed to do that I mean what uh the I
[2:57] all I always just told about supervisor
and pass the supervisor's
[3:03] office okay seems like that might be
something we I mean there's no uh
[3:09] building manager um I thought Isaac was
that helps take care of the building
[3:14] that's why I always ask him to repair
things other than that I don't know has
[3:20] to repair is there any in your office
that could do any of those things
[3:24] or for that repair stuff I mean I can't
reach electric up on top I um the
[3:33] furnace and MC um that's so specifically
I was wondering just about the carpet
[3:39] cleanings but that a cleaning service
isn't going to clean your carpeting a
[3:43] cleaning service vacuums right and then
I also figure out who can I hire that's
[3:48] what I'm think please so did you find
any bids or anything no I have not I
[3:51] have a couple bids for office screen so
I'm GNA probably okay so that's what I
[3:57] just I guess that's first St um I
thought the last couple meetings that we
[4:02] gave out couple bids yeah oh I
just so I didn't know if they were in I
[4:10] could give them to you if be bu and they
vary from $35 to
[4:16] $50 okay so it depends on the quality of
cing how much we want it we want to pay
[4:25] right and I just didn't remember that's
right that well BS that's
[4:31] it might be big like I say I and then
yeah that' be great and then the you
[4:36] know the carpet cleaning I know is a
separate deal and right I don't know
[4:41] maybe ask that company whoever just
clean the carpets at least once they've
[4:46] been installed since leasel here and
that
[4:50] was three supervisors
ago and
[4:55] they so I I
think for the
[5:00] for the supervisor to
[5:07] send I said it's just it varies quite a
bit and variation because one is like
[5:14] $30 and then one's like
150 next one was like 300 so it's like
[5:22] what are you going to what do you really
get clean at $30 a day and and I did
[5:27] look at Isaac's um jobs you know and
everything is and if I need to approach
[5:34] someone else in regards to it right we
will have to figure that out if there's
[5:39] things that your office is able to
do I mean the lightl no I couldn't do
[5:45] that because I don't have a lad and I
for okay and it wasn't really actually
[5:51] the light bul it's the the housing
inside of it this whoops so we may have
[5:57] to call so many then I'm not
El
[6:02] somebody well I only asked you about who
because you said you were too short
[6:08] yeah because do enough stuff no no
that's my point is I wasn't asking you
[6:14] to do it I thought oh just a matter of
breaching you know no changing light
[6:18] bulbs I mean shoot I could do that I we
have to change ours and I mean
[6:22] everything all yeah so okay um yeah
that's good I just wanted a little more
[6:28] information on
so Genie correct me if I'm wrong but
[6:33] sort of going back into history the
supervisor's office has typically been
[6:36] responsible for Mechanicals in the
overall building yes whereas things like
[6:40] individual cleaning could go to each
individual Department as well that could
[6:44] um yes they they well yes and no clearly
the supervisor's office is in charge of
[6:50] the facility which would include the
cleaning and the maintenance of the
[6:54] facility and so if there's and we' have
had this discussion and we have had this
[6:59] discussion the three of us and so it's a
matter of the supervisor you know she
[7:04] presented some and the supervisor was
going to get some more and then
[7:07] presenting us for us to approve any
other maintenance outside of the super
[7:12] and it's also understanding that Isaac's
role has changed over the last two years
[7:16] so what okay when he emailed me it said
building clip so so what his job was I
[7:24] know Jerry
[7:29] still try to say yeah so but I mean even
in the Vil it said building clerk so I
[7:34] mean no I I I I understand that but
again Isaac um I I've been standing up
[7:40] for Isaac multiple times
so no no no what thing
[7:45] is I asked amarie today or yesterday for
the job description and we're going to
[7:52] be looking at that because he's a
fulltime case worker might be that do
[7:57] you have to hire um a part-time position
even on the supervisor then how is that
[8:03] going for you hiring someone on your end
I Haven had a chance to find someone yet
[8:09] because I've been trying to read value U
okay great yeah I think that's something
[8:14] we're GNA have look get for for the
supervisor side do we have any more
[8:20] reports or anything like that will be
corre yes yeah because I you asked be on
[8:26] the Gen

underground storage Tain area inspection
[9:46] testing and possible recommendation that
would be
[9:50] Bob guys
I that quote I gave you earlier that was
[9:57] just that's additional one the one I'm
recommending is the first one that you
[10:02] that's in the board report that was I
think for about 14,000 some change the
[10:08] one I gave you tonight it's for S BL
change that's going to include a so Bo
[10:14] you see the scope of work there includes
soling the 20 days sht and the 45 days
[10:19] sht
that's if the Sol board come in the lab
[10:24] analysis the lab analysis from fact good
which I'm expecting it to but uh but the
[10:30] way you see on that then this this
company here that will submit for a NFR
[10:36] from thepa which is the further the
mediation letter A a request for the
[10:42] from EPA so that's what we've been
talking about the last few months and we
[10:47] to get moving on
[10:50] that yeah approval for the I'm asking
for approval for the first B the one
[10:55] that came with the uh the one that came
with your pack with your board pack I
[11:00] just the what's the name of
company the second one or the one the
[11:05] one the the one that's included is Bron
Peterson pet environmental okay they do
[11:10] a lot of they do a lot of work of
underground storage thanks so we have to
[11:14] add that
me
[11:17] approval give them the approval to go
with the Peterson Peterson yeah the
[11:22] second one is is H and I think the first
one other one that that gave you mhm um
[11:29] that one was
17 yeah uh
[11:34] 17 yeah yep 17 and chain so uh the first
one the the one in the board is one for
[11:44] appr so did you move for that no we were
just we were just kind of hasing out
[11:49] what we were looking for we needed the
um what's the name it again a motion
[11:54] approve Peterson
Environ just keep in mind if if
[12:00] if the worst case scenario they find
something it's going go a little
[12:06] bit it depends on the uh the
concentration that type of thing so they
[12:13] but that's going to be a step by step
but right now this is
[12:17] initial get get the soling done I think
they do every 5 foot in the surrounding
[12:22] area where we believe the tank was um
and then go from there how many years
[12:27] ago was it 19
89 is when it was pulled out I think
[12:34] yeah anticipating some um consequences
that you
[12:40] not I don't think so I I think based on
what I found you know the the leak was
[12:46] not the tank itself it was the fil the
fil stem that that you know that went
[12:52] into the tank so the tank itself was
still solid and you know there wasn't a
[12:57] problem with the tank that I don't think
we have that capacity for a lot of sage
[13:03] from the from the you know I mean so
it's just a matter of when the things
[13:06] being
filled so so I'd like to move to approve
[13:10] the 14800 for the um Peterson and
environmental that company
[13:19] um I'm wondering before I stop I'm
wondering if you want to have a cushion
[13:24] for that in case there is something
small well uh
[13:31] I think if there's going to if there's
going to be any change to that we can
[13:34] probably address that when the time
comes because I think the reason
[13:37] there'll be there's going to be a change
it's probably not going to be
[13:42] small thought that in my head too it's
probably going be big one so I will
[13:46] approve the
1400 14,000 and then you have to put
[13:50] back that you might come back for more
or just free if we if we need to if we
[13:55] find we find contamination that's an
issue then be able
[14:01] be a whole
[14:04] second we thought there was to be
something little I would have extended
[14:08] it but
uh generally for in the anything that's
[14:13] in the ground usually isn't little so I
so I would hold it at the
[14:21] 14,800 I'll
second any more
[14:25] discussion Roll Call Dusty repa all
dusty slow
[14:29] hi trusty lefo hi trusty Kirby
supervisor bman hi Richard
[14:36] bares the Fairfield Road planning study
Rudy all right yeah on Thursday May 2nd
[14:42] I attended the Fairfield Road planning
environmental linkages study stakeholder
[14:47] environmental uh involvement group uh
meeting held in conjunction with the
[14:51] Lake County Department of Transportation
uh this meeting looked at the
[14:55] intersections between Oakwood Drive and
rake Beach throughout onon 6 in wakanda
[15:00] the meeting lasted roughly two hours and
uh concerning topics of theal crashes
[15:05] and safety pedestrian and cyclist
Mobility traffic and environmental
[15:09] impacts on Fairfield Road uh
participants included several local
[15:14] Villages and stakeholders incling Round
Lake BR Lake Beach Avon Township and
[15:18] Fremont Township uh the Fairfield Road
planning and environmental linkages
[15:23] study is still in the early stages of
planning over the next two years the
[15:27] group will continue to meet with local
state stakeholders and the public to
[15:30] understand the issues affecting
commuters and residents uh Lake County
[15:35] Department of Transportation plans to
use such information to present several
[15:39] alternatives for improvements along the
Fairfield grad Corridor which will
[15:43] hopefully be ready for public evaluation
by fall of
[15:46] 2024 uh so thank you Michelle for
bringing this project to my attention
[15:50] and if anyone is interested in learning
more about the study or like to provide
[15:54] feedback to Lake County there will be a
public open house this Thursday from 7:
[15:59] to 9:00 p.m. at the Round Lake Area Park
District located at 814 Hart Road Round
[16:04] Lake Illinois exhibits will be set up
and staff from Lake County will be there
[16:08] to answer any questions so have you feel
the overall meeting land I felt like the
[16:14] meeting red uh shed a light on some of
the issues especially uh by the railroad
[16:20] tracks over at Fairfield in Round Lake
uh where especially in a Long Lake Drive
[16:26] where there's continual backups of
people trying to turn turn from Long
[16:29] Lake on the Fairfield and people turn it
over by the Light over there uh that is
[16:34] consistently as people brought up one of
the most dangerous areas but also some
[16:38] of the most congested was near 120 and
60 where as we know if we've ever come
[16:43] on from Gilmer up to field trying to get
past 60 it's always backed up um and
[16:49] it's a a huge inconvenience for traffic
times yeah during traffic during rush
[16:56] hour yeah um so I not as bad as
hanesville and
[17:03] 120 that's constant that's all day it is
all day yeah yeah um but certainly fair
[17:08] and the other thing with Fairfield row
that people pointed out is that there's
[17:11] no sidewalks for the mass majority of it
near Round Lake Beach the sidewalks that
[17:17] are really there aren't up to Ada
standards so there's you know curbs with
[17:22] no ramps so there's a lot of issues for
accessibility for people without cars or
[17:27] who are just trying to ride a bike to
connect to one of the local parks or
[17:30] Trails we have so um if you have
concerns or issues with Fairfield Road
[17:36] go there Ry Park District uh this
Thursday
[17:41] 7 happy
[17:47] that to do that and represent our
interest because of course we know we
[17:53] I'm
going I also did bring up with Lake
[17:57] County U our project for ners Road and
uh continuing you know Communications
[18:04] between Avon Township and M count so and
I like that the bike trail was
[18:09] considered in some of your stuff and
what you learned yes that was it's right
[18:15] up your
alley it's right up your alley and you
[18:19] know so that I got the email I'm like
I'm F Ry yeah because you would be able
[18:25] to not only understand it but be able to
bring back the information to us
[18:29] [Music]
into our needs that we have that are
[18:34] invested inip so thank you yeah so no
business for us to vote on but if anyone
[18:39] would want more information feel free to
talk to me afterwards or go to that
[18:43] public meeting thank
you so at Eagle Scout projects the eagle
[18:49] scout that is planning on doing another
project for us KS were not able to come
[18:54] um today he still have to get his
signatures signed off
[18:59] project so we'll wait on that but just
to catch you up on a couple additional
[19:03] projects I didn't tell you last month we
are redoing the garden it's going to be
[19:08] um actually if if Doug was right if we
had the curtains on Veil um you can see
[19:14] our community garden we're going to be
digging up just the grass and putting
[19:18] wood shifts in and making it where we
have seniors or anybody who's doing the
[19:24] garden they're to be able to fit it's
going to be a little bit more of a of a
[19:28] beautific
to add to the township especially we
[19:32] have a lot of seniors that do programs
here they could just go right out the
[19:36] door they could be able to sit on the
tabl they can sit on the the chairs they
[19:40] can sit under the shade with the
umbrellas and just kind of appreciate um
[19:45] our backyard that we have so staying for
the next project I was hoping that I was
[19:49] going to be here because I wanted um and
to be able to tell you guys what is
[19:53] doing but we'll wait on that ex yeah we
have had so many um projects done not
[20:00] just with the E Scouts but with all
these other organizations and youth that
[20:04] it's not possible the township $ Dollar
for the most part maybe like a little
[20:08] bit of Maintenance um and that is
increased the value of the township not
[20:14] only with you know Al question to the
tables all that but the atmosphere when
[20:22] people are able to come to the township
and use our facilities so that's kind
[20:27] of um any other questionss if not we'll
have to wait on what you do it if not
[20:33] we're going to go on to G
[20:38] res we do that so anyways um I'm not
sure how often you guys read the
[20:43] perspective magazine but there's always
training and this is an upcoming
[20:49] training for the
trustees and there's also training in
[20:53] November where you get to go
to Springfield and he giv me other
[21:00] Township not just FR fees but
supervisors
[21:05] and iway um Commissioners and just be
more a part of what's going on because
[21:12] our Township we're we're we're little we
live in this little world of how to of
[21:17] government works but if we go down if we
go to these events we're going to be
[21:21] able to meet with people and get better
ideas and get ourselves more educated so
[21:26] if you guys are able to go to the
conference or you are able to go to one
[21:30] of these um trainings and also there's a
lot of online training that you could
[21:35] sign up for um let us know you'll be
reimbursed so there's no feed for you to
[21:40] do it some of the webinars you can watch
at your own Leisure it'll just make us a
[21:46] little bit more educated um and also one
part is learning what all the other
[21:50] townships are doing so I um highly
suggest that you look into um getting
[21:55] trained or going on some of the webinars
I I just want to highlight get um we all
[22:02] get all of us get emails all the time
townships on you know you have to just
[22:09] rely on the magazine um but when you see
something from the townships regarding
[22:14] training I know all of us get tons of
emails every day but um they're worth
[22:20] looking at and seeing if you want
participate because a lot of them are um
[22:25] electronically based not in person so
consider and if you haven't been on to
[22:31] the toi website it's another great place
for you to get your questions answered
[22:36] or talk to um someone in t toi
[22:42] too the toi conference in November if
you haven't been highly recommend um the
[22:48] stuff you can learn from other townships
and some of what they're doing is just
[22:51] it's incredible you can see some of the
stuff that they do downstate that's
[22:55] really out of scope because we have all
these fire protection districts and
[22:59] Library districts everywhere you can see
how you know involved townships are in
[23:03] everyday life down there um it's it's it
really is amazing and it's just a great
[23:08] time to be get the network and Megan
presents down there sometimes
[23:16] so is always
there always there but you then you get
[23:22] picked and choose what you want to do so
I went to um training outside of my
[23:27] supervis role so I get a better
understanding of what the clerk does
[23:32] what the trustees do I actually went
training um for the weekend with the
[23:37] highway department last year because
technically I'm in charge of the highway
[23:42] department which is kind of crazy if you
think about it because it's not my
[23:45] expertise but the way the law is um now
Bob has to go to me and ask me for um
[23:53] decisions to be made but being able to
spend the weekend uh you know things may
[23:58] make a lot more sense you meet more
people uh so yeah Highway super
[24:04] supervisor training I think um and it
was good I I learned a little more about
[24:10] what Bob does and Bob does a lot so
thank you when Bob goes on vacation got
[24:16] you to look over for really
[24:22] relx about me spending a day with your
employees and you helping to see how you
[24:31] guys do the roads and just spending the
day to see really what the highway
[24:35] department does and it'll give me an
opportunity when people ask me about the
[24:39] on corporated road I'll have a lot more
um hi and life talks to me a lot about
[24:46] things that actually pertain pertain to
what Bob does but they give me all their
[24:51] questions and then I have to go to
Bob Bob I know more about beavers and I
[24:58] know more about what what did I asked
you last time last week what did they
[25:04] want I'm L I don't
remember something sand it was about
[25:11] getting sand and as much as I want to
know where to get local stand I do not
[25:17] but anyways um education is the key to
us beinging a stronger board yeah
[25:23] yeah okay anything else and now we're
going to move on to
[25:31] V res resolution number 24
rs002 discussion possible adoption of a
[25:38] resolution authorizing display of the
lgbtq pride flag at AB
[25:45] C to approve the resolution I like to
say two
[25:50] things motion then we okay sorry you
weread of
[25:55] me so
okay and then now is the moment right
[26:02] and then
[26:05] I oh all right I'll
[26:10] second thank
you down that's okay Travis Hy from
[26:16] Brown Lake Beach this has been actually
a great new tradition that this board
[26:21] has been carrying for the past three
years now of displaying the private flag
[26:26] in the last three years I heard from
countless residents within the township
[26:31] that's actually grateful that this has
been happening great tradition showing
[26:35] that we're welcoming everyone into the
community here they don't feel
[26:40] alone this has been also a great
tradition that's been happening with
[26:44] many other local municipalities in the
county including the County Board and as
[26:48] far as I'm aware of within the last
three years of this town I have not
[26:52] heard of anyone making any formal
complaints or making any threats of a
[26:56] lawsuit about what this this Township
has been doing it's my hope that this
[27:01] board will consider instead of
displaying it for the weekend of a
[27:05] certain weekend that would be displayed
throughout the entire month of June as
[27:09] it has been from the county courthouse
along with many other municipalities and
[27:13] we can join that list of showing that
Avon Township is welcome towards
[27:17] everyone thank
you thank
[27:21] you so since um I read the resolution
there's just so many questions and
[27:27] things to to think about of where this
takes us and that said I'm going to say
[27:34] I support the lb I know skids is a
little nervous but um the community
[27:42] um lb GG lb gqg Community I'm sorry um
and I really admire the dedication and
[27:51] the fortitude and Industry you know and
all the things that have changed in the
[27:57] last what haven't been over 10
years um and I support us flying the
[28:02] flags so I'm not here to um but I have
some issues that I just want to make
[28:09] sure that we think about and we commit
to forward that um there's a lot to
[28:15] unpack in this decision and and it and
because I do think it's different for
[28:21] the month rather than the weekend if
that's what we're um that's what we're
[28:26] voting on um and one one of the things
that I just thought about is how sad it
[28:31] is that you have that a community has to
ask for this and it has to have it to
[28:39] feel that they're going to enjoy the
freedoms and Liberties other Americans
[28:44] enjoy so I I feel that but I feel that
for many communities and on whether is
[28:51] historically uh marginalized communities
in in aan Township and and that's where
[28:57] my concerns Li just what are we going to
do next and how are we going to what are
[29:02] our procedures and policies going to be
for situation like this I mean already
[29:08] tonight something was brought up and
there's probably more than
[29:13] 12 communities that might want are to
you and they're using I I read something
[29:20] about government speech that they're
using we're using Avan Township for
[29:25] government speech to to express an
opinion and and so we want to be fair
[29:31] about it and Equitable about it and so I
feel
[29:37] that voting yes should go with a
commitment um to move forward and really
[29:44] get this buttoned up on how we're going
to handle this and how we're going to do
[29:48] it because um we want to be fair
Equitable and protect ourselves were
[29:55] kind of the things that I thought about
so and I I looked at the resolution and
[30:01] the
um last thing it does say dedicated to
[30:06] meeting the needs of everyone in our
community that this was one of your
[30:10] warehouses especially those who have
been marginally under served so I
[30:14] thought okay we're going to use this
resolution as something that we believe
[30:20] in that we have to really believe in it
that's that's my two cents
[30:28] thank
you so citizen
[30:33] question citizen here is there blowback
on this stuff on the flag being thrown
[30:39] any
blowback I've had a com I've had a
[30:42] combination I've had a combination of
people very supportive and some people
[30:47] questioning while why we're flying the
[30:51] flag it's more because it's government
it's government speech it's you know um
[30:56] it's up to the town up to the Villages
but it's actually up to us as a board to
[31:03] decide okay py I can address some of
your questions maybe before you were um
[31:09] on the board I think it was you on the
board we adopted a policy
[31:15] about about a flagline and and I can
also send you a memo that I wrote to the
[31:19] board there was um a Supreme Court case
that came out last year out of Boston at
[31:25] Boston I'd like to see it but I did read
I have a copy me Cas was called
[31:32] for um so significant case because a
differentiate between what is government
[31:38] speech and what is a public forum and so
by the boarding what flags fly we're
[31:43] keeping it as Government speech which is
allowed it to be more narrow kered um
[31:48] it's if anyone can come and just fly a
flag whenever they want that it becomes
[31:52] a public form and then for example if
someone just came and blew a flag then
[31:58] we have to allow that the township would
essentially give up the right to monitor
[32:02] which flags are flown and would have to
allow anyone who wanted to fly a flag to
[32:06] do so even if it was for example like
the KKK so by having in place a policy
[32:11] and by asking that for example you you
ask at at the beginning of the meeting
[32:15] if we could have I I think you want like
a p FL to fly we could do that we would
[32:20] just consider it our our um next meeting
that could be a request and then that
[32:25] could fly if if the board chose to
approve that I think the hard part is
[32:29] deciding so we have the juneth
too and I think that's already approved
[32:34] in the that only gets a weekend that
only gets a certain amount of time with
[32:39] that's the federal and state holiday um
and then how do we put the flags up
[32:45] which flag has priority over over
another one is it do we do we keep the
[32:53] pride flag for 30 days above the juneth
or just June
[32:59] for that weekend gets switched there's a
lot of concerns when you start putting
[33:04] one above the other um it's just a lot
for us to think about where we don't
[33:10] have a policy in place you know with
that and if we we move forward with this
[33:16] one again it's things we have to think
about because things that are important
[33:20] to us somebody else may have that strong
of a belief and passion because whatever
[33:27] is going on in their life and their
family's life or their
[33:31] community and there is a
flag they might feel
[33:37] that it's it's their right to come here
and ask us to put up the flag and then
[33:43] we're going to have to make that
decision and we're going to have to go
[33:46] to somebody and
say we're sorry we do not support
[33:53] your whatever it it might be and that's
something that we have to look at um you
[33:59] know in in the future that come up at
the next meeting or of time and I think
[34:04] if I recall a lot of this was addressed
last year when we talked about jth where
[34:08] state of Illinois has already provided
guidance on how they're handling it
[34:12] that's been sort of where we've taken
guidance from the juneth flag was one of
[34:15] those particular things that's how that
discussion Point came up um the pride
[34:20] flag the lgbtq flag is also one of those
items that the state has been very clear
[34:25] on and they actually have it quoted in
their statute yeah so when we're looking
[34:29] at those things we can use the state as
a guideline that's a very clear and
[34:33] simple one yes
it we have the policy set up for pretty
[34:38] much all as long as it's state you know
okay then we're okay with buying it and
[34:44] I think to address you know du's comment
earlier that um every Memorial day since
[34:48] I've been serving here the P flag has
been raised the flag has been treated to
[34:53] half staff until noon and then raised
the rest of the way for veteran State p
[34:57] flag again has been has been flowing on
our flag poll so um' been very conscious
[35:03] of honoring our loss and a commemorative
commemorative flag Falls within the flag
[35:08] code itself from the United States so I
think that's not even a question there's
[35:13] a like a list of four flags that are
acceptable I thought that we had address
[35:17] that as well had SE I don't even know if
that's an item the Board needs to do
[35:21] other than to say go bu a FL
[35:27] we've had
all because myol with public education
[35:33] I've seen this crumble and fall and glad
that we haven't had any crumbles and
[35:37] Falls but we need to protect oursel and
policy is the way to do that and that's
[35:42] why we need to make sure I think you
just need to get Pat a copy of all yeah
[35:48] well and I think that if we're so I
really spent some time and ask some
[35:52] questions of people and no one told me
they was already a poliy and I and I
[35:57] feel feel like it would have been nice
actually to get the resolution before
[36:01] Saturday and to know you know if if
we're just acting on something we've
[36:07] already decided that's something a new
trustee should go well I I think it's
[36:10] different because the resolutions has
changed every year or two we've gone
[36:15] from the weekend we've gone to a
displayed so it's never been a constant
[36:22] we don't have something that says in the
policy it's going to be for 30 days
[36:27] every year it's been changed so talking
about the lgbtq flag it it's we've had
[36:35] different policies each year so this
would be our fourth
[36:40] resolution on the flag so it's not so
it's it it's not
[36:46] constant right but there would be a you
know to know there was a place to go
[36:50] read and see where we stand would have
been very helpful would have saved me a
[36:54] lot of our
data yeah yes
[36:59] talk to
me but I understand I just I do believe
[37:03] that we do have to look at it a little
bit more and revamp it because um new
[37:09] issues do come up every year and it's
something that we we climate is is
[37:15] unrealistically changing every single
year and we need to be yeah I think
[37:22] so do we have any more discussion on
flag
[37:27] I'll just say that I I talked to the
County Board and they did say there
[37:32] wasn't any like okay we want to fly our
flag to which but I imagine that will
[37:39] come you know for everybody because the
political climate is always changing but
[37:43] so far you know that's what I Dr Sandy
Hearts well it's just for that first
[37:51] person to come to us or just like the
first person who came to a board and
[37:56] said we want you to fly this if if they
weren't expecting it we do have to be
[38:02] prepared for what what could come
luckily we are we are we are we
[38:08] definitely are but we even if we make a
statement we're still going to have to
[38:12] say why and be prepared for consequences
for people being okay with that because
[38:19] what's really important to one people
one person is not important to other
[38:24] people you have to be able to see both
sides like
[38:30] situation hey if there's no more
discussion roll
[38:35] call trusty lefo hi trusty baa hi trusty
SLO hi trusty Kirby supervisor bman hi
[38:43] motion
[38:54] carries we have no executive sessions
tonight uh do we have any more public
[39:00] comments I'm what Bob was talking about
on the so I presume that was the for
[39:06] tank that's assum removed that the the
township has to deal with it was removed
[39:13] in the 89 has anybody reached that to
see if there's anys from many of the
[39:18] numerous all all the state
[39:28] how long is the contri viable for
inspection there's no close out from the
[39:34] EPA so we're it doesn't there's no time
limit on that we have to have the EPA
[39:39] sent us the letter they they initiated
it I said Hey where's your you know we
[39:45] they were I think during Co they started
going through all the old records and
[39:49] found and started addressing all these
uh storage CH that maybe have been
[39:54] removed maybe it was done legally
everything was done but they didn't have
[39:57] any
close out pay for it to prove that and
[40:00] so they came to we did get the letter
and said hey you know so even if it's
[40:04] removed and it gets a Cen tested so has
to get tested if they don't have if they
[40:08] don't have the backup paperwork to show
it they don't have the documentation to
[40:12] show it you know according to the the
previous uh Highway commissioner few a
[40:17] few back it was done and it was removed
uh correctly and and the the uh
[40:24] contaminant so was haed out everything
was done appropriately except for the
[40:28] followup documentation so since there
isn't any they they request it so we
[40:33] have to prove to them that it was
[40:39] done the ep the EPA hired 5500 people
right
