[7:43] I am going to have Steve Thomas read this proclamation to Vietnam veterans should be buddies and go right there.
[7:56] Okay, Waterport Township Board of Trustees, June 22nd, 2026, proclamation honoring Barney
[8:03] Arneson on the occasion of his honor flight, whereas Barney Arneson proudly served in the
[8:09] United States Army and completed two tours of duty in Vietnam, answering the call of
[8:14] his country with courage, dedication, and honor.
[8:18] And whereas during his final tour in Vietnam, Mr. Arneson sustained combat wounds and
[8:24] service to our nation and was awarded the Purple Heart,
[8:27] a distinguished recognition of his sacrifice and bravery.
[8:31] And whereas the lasting effects of these injuries
[8:33] remain with him to this day, yet he
[8:36] continues to face every challenge
[8:38] with remarkable strength, resilience, and determination.
[8:42] Whereas Mr. Ogneson has dedicated himself not only
[8:46] to serving his country, but also to serving his community.
[8:50] As a member of the Waterford Heart of the Lakes veterans
[8:52] of foreign wars and as a steadfast advocate for fellow veterans and whereas through his
[8:59] volunteer work as meals and wheels driver, he selflessly delivers meals and companionship
[9:06] to homeless, homebound seniors in our community demonstrating the same spirit of service that
[9:12] has defined his life and whereas Mr. Ardinson's commitment to health, perseverance and helping
[9:20] serving others serves as an inspiration to all who know him and reflect the highest ideals
[9:25] of citizenship, whereas the Honor Flight program recognizes veterans by transporting them to
[9:34] Washington D.C. to visit the memorial dedicated to their service and sacrifices, providing
[9:41] a meaningful opportunity for reflection, remembrance, and gratitude, whereas it is fitting and
[9:48] proper that Waterford Township recognize Mr. Orninson for his military service to sacrifices
[9:55] on behalf of our nation and his continued contributions to our community.
[10:00] Now therefore be it proclaimed that the Waterford Township Board of Trustees hereby extends
[10:05] its deepest gratitude and appreciation to Barney Orninson and congratulates him on his participation
[10:12] in the honor flight.
[10:14] Be further proclaimed that the Board of Trustees expresses its sincere thanks for his distinguished
[10:20] military service, his steadfast support of fellow veterans, and his unwavering dedication
[10:26] to serving the residents of Waterford Township.
[10:29] Adopted this 22nd day of June, 2026, by the Waterford Township Board of Trustees.
[10:58] But I thought it was fitting that Steve served a couple of tours in the Vietnam to read this
[11:04] proclamation to him.
[11:05] Thank you.
[11:05] So thank you.
[11:06] Anything you want to say?
[11:07] Oh, yeah.
[11:08] How much time do I have?
[11:09] You got all night.
[11:11] We might leave, but you got all night.
[11:15] Well thank you very much.
[11:16] I really appreciate this honor.
[11:20] It's a secondary, of course, to the honor flight,
[11:23] but it's very nice.
[11:25] And I certainly do appreciate the Waterford Township folks
[11:30] to give me this proclamation.
[11:33] It's very nice indeed.
[11:35] And we appreciate everything you've done.
[11:37] Well, thank you.
[11:37] Thank you for your service.
[11:39] I can't say nothing.
[11:39] That's yours.
[11:40] I know.
[11:41] Oh, OK.
[11:41] I'm going to take it.
[11:44] I spent nine years in service in the Army, two tours in Vietnam, and one in Europe, staged
[11:53] with NATO and Naples, Italy.
[11:57] And my second tour in Vietnam was rather bad.
[12:02] I got blown up with a booby trap, claymore landmine, if you folks know what that is.
[12:07] It's one of our own weapons, and it sprays ball bearings in a bunch of different directions,
[12:16] but primarily out to the front.
[12:19] And one got me and my abdomen went through and into my back and hit a nerve that controlled
[12:25] my left side.
[12:27] I was down and couldn't move.
[12:29] And Lieutenant Geyser, who was standing in front of me, he was killed, and Sergeant
[12:34] Snyder was also killed.
[12:36] And so I had an opportunity when we were in Washington, D.C. to get a rubbings of their
[12:42] names and it was very emotional.
[12:45] A little bit about the honor flight, it was excellent to begin with.
[12:52] They gave us, we met at Flint, Bishop Airport in Flint, and we had to be there by 7.30
[13:00] in the morning on Tuesday, last Tuesday.
[13:03] and they gave us this little thing to wrap around our neck and it was pretty
[13:09] cool because they had us put our driver's license on this side and a boarding
[13:15] pass on this side now we're in the lobby of the airport right when we got ready
[13:21] to go we went straight to the gate the only time I've ever flown where I
[13:32] of goodies, a t-shirt to wear that day, and then a polo shirt the next day in a jacket
[13:39] in case it got cold. So they were very, very accommodating for all of us. Every veteran
[13:46] that went on this honor flight had to have a guardian. Well, the guardian cannot be your
[13:51] spouse. It has to be somebody other than the spouse. So my grandson Gage standing
[13:59] there is was my guardian and the guardian has three two things that he has to do one he has to
[14:09] keep track of the veteran so the veteran doesn't get lost the second thing is when we go up the steps
[14:16] of any steps he has to be behind us case we fall we fall backwards on a soft landing if we
[14:22] are going down the steps he stands in front of us so the same thing we have a soft landing if
[14:28] we fall. The first day when we got to Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., there was a ton
[14:37] of people there waiting for us. Well, thank you for your service and like the sign says
[14:42] and we love our veterans and all of that. It was just outstanding. A lot of people,
[14:49] a lot of adults, a lot of children were there and walking us to Washington, D.C.
[14:56] Then we went to the Aerospace Museum, if you've ever been...
[15:00] In the D.C., you got to go to the Airspace Museum. We went there first, and then we went
[15:06] to the Army Museum. The Army Museum is a relatively new one. It was finished about two years ago,
[15:14] but in the early days when they first started it, they were soliciting donations from all
[15:19] the veterans and big companies to try to fund the building of this museum. And at that
[15:26] time I bought a brick and so the purple one of the main things I had to do when
[15:30] Gage and I were there was to finally brick. Well it was early I had purchased it
[15:37] early and so when we walked into the entrance to the parking lot for the
[15:42] museum there was a section right to the right and right there was my my brick
[15:48] so it was really cool that they have thousands of bricks now because a lot
[15:52] of people have, you know, a purchase one for their own families and stuff.
[15:58] And the Army Museum was excellent.
[16:00] One of the things that was interesting is that they had a Sherman tank sitting there, and
[16:06] I remember that we would get periodicals over the years of the construction of the
[16:13] Museum.
[16:14] And I remember one periodical that came, it was an aerial view.
[16:20] and it showed the Sherman tank, there was nothing around it.
[16:24] They put the Sherman tank in position and then built a building around it
[16:27] because they couldn't get it in their ass. That was pretty cool.
[16:33] We were treated to a buffet dinner that evening, Tuesday evening, outstanding food.
[16:41] They put us up at the Hilton Hotel.
[16:46] We were up to 5.30 the following morning, Wednesday morning, and on the bus at 7.
[16:52] They had four buses, there were 76 of us, I don't know if I mentioned that before,
[16:58] there were 76 of us together, one World War II vet who's 100 years old, he had his brother
[17:04] with him, six Korean veterans and the rest of us were all Vietnam veterans, so it was
[17:11] really good.
[17:11] we had a really good group.
[17:15] Let's see where it was laid out. First thing on the Wednesday morning
[17:20] we went to Arlington National Cemetery. If you've ever been to Arlington National Cemetery,
[17:26] of course the highlight is the changing of the guard. And if you've seen the changing of the
[17:31] guard, it's an extremely impressive ceremony. I have seen it down three times and the thing
[17:40] that was impressive to me was two things. I had never seen the laying of the wreath before.
[17:49] That's another ceremony that they have. And the other thing that was unique in my experience
[17:56] was that the Sergeant of the Guard was a female. Now the Guard started before 1937, but as
[18:08] Because of 1937, the guard has been guarded 24-7, 365 days since 1937.
[18:20] Since that time, there have been several ladies on the guard.
[18:25] I did not know that.
[18:26] I did not know that they had ladies in the guard, but there have been a few, at least
[18:31] 10.
[18:31] and the lady that was on ours when we were there was a sergeant of the guard it's
[18:39] very very interesting and she led the World War two vet and his brother who
[18:45] was his guardian out in the middle of the platform made a right face and went
[18:52] to this the support for the wreath and that World War two veteran placed the
[18:58] on the standards. It's really really cool to see all of that happen. After that
[19:05] ceremony we met as a group in a shady area because of a real hot day that day
[19:11] and the lady who was the sergeant of the guard in the meantime had changed
[19:16] clothes and got into regular clothes and she came on she talked to us and told
[19:21] us all about the guard and what was required of the guard. The standards
[19:26] for the women are just like the men.
[19:28] I mean, they have to go through the same training sequences.
[19:31] She set the normal timeframe for people
[19:36] to serve in the guard for two years.
[19:38] She said, the first year, half of the year is in training.
[19:42] The second year, you're training your replacement.
[19:45] So it is extensive training that they have to go through.
[19:48] She was there for three years and wanted to stay longer,
[19:51] but they had sent her off to drill sergeant school.
[19:55] So she's gonna wind up being a drill sergeant. She'll make a good one, too. She was very good. Yeah
[20:00] then we went to
[20:03] After that we saw the
[20:06] Marine Corps
[20:07] Memorial had a buffet lunch. They treated us extremely well with food in that and then after that we went to the Pentagon
[20:15] And if you remember 9-11
[20:18] The years of airplane that crashed in the Pentagon
[20:21] There was 184 people killed, 125 of them were in the Pentagon and the balance were in the
[20:29] plane.
[20:30] And if you've not been there before, each person was named, and you could tell by the
[20:36] way that their memorial was situated, whether they were in the Pentagon or whether they
[20:40] were on the plane.
[20:42] My wife and I had been there before, so I knew what that was all about, because
[20:47] that was cool.
[20:48] Then we also went to the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial, I had not been there before, didn't
[20:57] even know it existed.
[20:58] And that was very, very nice too, very good memorial for them.
[21:02] We hopped on the plane at about six o'clock, I guess, and made our way back to Flint.
[21:11] And when we walked in the airport at Flint, I'm telling you, it was something else.
[21:17] They had thousands of people there walking back home.
[21:21] It was a tear-jerker for sure.
[21:24] It was just such a tremendous effort that they had put out.
[21:29] And I'm here to tell you, if you're a veteran,
[21:31] if you had an honorable discharge,
[21:34] you could apply for a trip and just do it,
[21:38] because it is excellent.
[21:41] They have a terminology in the military.
[21:44] If something is really, really good above and beyond, they call it outstanding.
[21:50] And I'm telling you this, that trip was outstanding.
[21:54] So all veterans take advantage of it.
[21:57] It's real simple, mid-Michigan honor flight.
[22:01] You Google it, and they'll have an application there that you can fill out online, send it in,
[22:07] and you can have the opportunity to go, and I highly recommend it.
[22:12] My Meals on Wheels, I'm wearing my Meals on Wheels because I'm promoting Meals on Wheels.
[22:17] So all you folks that support the Meals on Wheels program for Waterford, I give you thanks
[22:24] because I've been doing it since 2011 and I love it.
[22:28] It's something that I've always just admired the people that do it and I thank the people
[22:35] who support it.
[22:35] Because sometimes, most of the time, those folks only see one person and it's us.
[22:43] So it's really a pleasure to be able to do that.
[22:48] Again, I would like to thank you folks for giving me this proclamation that is really
[22:53] nice.
[22:54] Thank each one of you.
[22:55] Thank you for your service.
[22:56] Thank you, sir.
[23:13] Thank you very much.
[23:30] Wow.
[23:48] Wow, wow, that was good, that was very good.
[23:53] I want to thank Steve Thomas because I know Steve's a veteran.
[23:58] My apologies for not biting you up there Geary because you're a veteran too.
[24:02] Let the Vietnam guys have it.
[24:03] Okay, that's what I guess.
[24:05] But thank you.
[24:07] Okay, next we've got public comment, agenda items online,
[24:12] limited to three minutes per person after being recognized by the supervisor, individuals in the
[24:18] audience may address the township board. The speaker must go to the podium and identify themselves with
[24:23] name and address. Anybody from the public want to speak?
[24:30] Seeing none, I'll go to Cassin agenda.
[24:35] Board members may remove items from the Cassin agenda for discussion purposes or for the
[24:40] purpose of voting in opposition. Public comments or items removed from the Cassin agenda may
[24:46] received the same matter immediately following the consent agenda. Make a
[24:51] motion we accept the consent agenda.

[25:52] Okay. Under
[25:53] new business. I'm sorry, the board lays on reports. Jeff, I'll start with you. Nothing
[25:57] to report. Marie? Okay, I have a few things I'd like to give updates on. The Greenway's
[26:03] advisory board update. Greenway's advisory board likes to thank the DPW for their partnership
[26:08] with the Riverwalk Improvement and Maintenance. All the new benches and trash cans have
[26:12] been solved after the spring cleanup.
[26:14] In general, there's not much trash along with any sections,
[26:17] riverwalk, extension, connector, or original north
[26:20] and south near Norddorf by the Riverside Gate.
[26:23] And the trash cans are reasonably empty.
[26:25] There is a shabbing here in the water at the bridge
[26:27] in which one of the chair of the greenways will remove.
[26:29] And a few spindles are missing on the bridge,
[26:31] but no big gap.
[26:32] So we'll wait until the fall cleanup to leave on those.
[26:35] The Hobel village is totally clear now
[26:37] that MDOT fenced in the east and west side hiding
[26:40] places. The connected drainage issue has been resolved. The salt passes have been removed and grass was
[26:46] sown along the path. A few trees to south of the bridge have been cut down because eager
[26:50] beaters have been chewing on them and made them a dangerous fallen hazard. The next Greenway's
[26:55] advisory meeting is on July 29th at 7 p.m. at the Waterford Township Library. It has had the way
[27:01] update. The mural is about three quarters of the way finished. They are finalizing with the
[27:06] for ribbon cutting. Hopefully at the end of August or early September, they had their
[27:11] first successful week of Little Farmers camp and are excited for more farm camp throughout
[27:18] July with special guests and educational components. The first two concerts of the season have
[27:23] been a great success with the last one coming as Tony announced. They had a two-nose sheep
[27:28] to the flock, including a yearling female and a lamb female. Both are a rare tease
[27:34] which are British heritage sheet known for their long,
[27:38] lustrous, and curly fleece that hangs in distinct
[27:42] keringlets. I had to look that up. The next has had the way meeting
[27:46] is August 13th at 6 p.m. at the Waterford Senior Center
[27:49] and there's a zoning board meeting July 21st at 6 p.m. here in the auditorium.
[27:56] That's it. That's it. Thank you, Marie. Gary? Nothing to report.
[28:00] Yeah, Steve? Nothing to report. Gary? Yeah, I had the playing
[28:03] Commission meeting tomorrow evening and our last parts of the board meeting. The summer
[28:08] programs are up and running and the last time you're working in the gardens there was plenty

[28:19] Yeah. I don't know if we mentioned it. I don't know if I heard but Hess Hathaway, concerts

[28:36] But it was really good concert, free concert. Try to attend those. Parks and Rec has half the way. Good event.
[28:46] Yeah, Dave Bennett is always good.
[28:48] He's playing locally again some more, he said. Try to catch him around Waterford. It's really worth your time.

[30:39] I'll make a motion to award the partial GMP amendment totaling $7,932,782 and to award
[30:48] demolition contractors international construction.
[30:53] This is Clemiss.
[30:54] Clemiss 10-3.
[31:05] 10-3.
[31:24] You want me to make the motion?
[31:25] Yeah, go ahead.
[31:26] Okay.
[31:27] I'd like to make a motion to adopt the resolution for participation in the clements authority
[31:32] Interlocal agreement support any discussion. Yes
[31:37] Looks like something we've been involved with and this is an extension or we from last year versus a
[31:43] I was trying to figure it out from the language if it's a one-year five-year or 15-year commitment
[31:53] Sounds like something that's beneficial for your work
[31:57] That was my main question.
[31:59] Clemes is an acronym that stands for Court Law Enforcement
[32:02] Management Information Systems.
[32:04] It's been in effect for over 30 years.
[32:07] Waterford Township has been a member of that
[32:09] for at least the last 25 years.
[32:11] I was familiar with Clemes in my previous employment as well.
[32:15] It's a basically, as it stood previously,
[32:18] was a consortium of police and fire agencies
[32:21] as well as courts to provide records management
[32:25] payment, and other particular platforms for the group so that everybody didn't have to
[32:31] go out and do the same thing over and over again by themselves.
[32:34] So they provide our records management system, our mugshot and booking system, our computer
[32:40] aid and dispatch system, our mobile data computer system, all come through Clemus.
[32:45] And being members of Clemus, we enjoy great benefit in terms of pricing and other things
[32:53] to come with it when we can buy these things and develop these things as a group.
[32:58] Chief, how often does this come about?
[33:02] So the agreement, it will renew every year automatically and the participation is the
[33:12] yearly fee and we pay quarterly for that.
[33:16] In this particular resolution, all we're doing is moving from the consortium to the
[33:21] authority. The consortium previously was under the umbrella of Oakland County because Clemence
[33:26] is moving out of that. Being connected to the county is going to be its own independent
[33:31] authority now. So this agreement just allows us to participate in the authority as we
[33:36] always have with the consortium.
[33:38] Do
[33:43] you have any questions?
[33:44] So it's an annual commitment or was it, I read language and it's a long document.
[33:50] there's a couple of documents it's it's a one-year five or 15 it automatically
[33:54] renews every single year unless we want to get out we can we can get out of if
[33:59] weren't if we want to get out okay I think it's I think we have a 30-day
[34:03] window we can get out with a 30-day note annually okay it sounds good
[34:07] Thank you.

[37:07] Alison Swanson, Parks and Recreation Director.
[37:11] We have some amazing volunteers here in our parks department
[37:14] and in our community that are always willing to give back and support us.
[37:18] So I want to make sure I highlight a few of the recent organizations
[37:21] that are continuously giving back to help us beautify and enhance our park system.
[37:26] First we have the Waterford Garden Club.
[37:28] This amazing group of gardeners is always there to beautify the gardens at the Drayton
[37:33] Plains Nature Center and the Leggett campus.
[37:35] They recently held a few different work days to help beautify the facilities, and we are
[37:39] greatly appreciative to them for all of their hard work.
[37:43] Penistar Aviation has helped us out the last couple of years at Hush Hathaway Park,
[37:47] and they've done an employee work day out there.
[37:49] Most recently, they were at Hush Hathaway Park last week, and they helped us with
[37:53] several landscaping projects and prepared an area that will plant as a new garden space.
[37:59] And then we also had Vibe Credit Union for about the fourth year in a row.
[38:04] They've helped out at the Drayton Plains Nature Center at our garlic mustard pole at the
[38:08] end of last month.
[38:09] And we were able to remove 43 60 gallon bags of garlic mustard from the property.
[38:17] So great job everybody.
[38:18] We have so many wonderful volunteers like Mr. Ardinson mentioned for Meals on Wheels,
[38:24] but we want to make sure we highlight them and we usually try to highlight them on our social media too.
[38:28] So thank you guys. We couldn't do it without all you amazing organizations here in the community.
[38:32] Thank you Allison. Anybody else?
[38:39] Anybody else? One last time.
