00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,600
allegiance.

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:29,199
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:34,239
republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and

11
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:37,600
justice for all.
>> Pastor, would you mind doing a little

12
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:41,200

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,920
to gather in this capacity. We pray for
your blessing on Princip Township and

14

its people here that we have revival in
this land. and may your name be praised.

Bless the proceedings we ask in Jesus
name. Amen.

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,920
» Thank you.

17
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:01,920
» All right. I will open up for
announcements and uh correspondences.

18
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:08,080
Are there any announcements or
correspondences from the board?

19
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:14,320
I attended the monthly meeting of the
Southern Portage County Visitors Bureau

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:20,640
and we meet once a month. And I just
want to let everybody know that within

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:27,759
the next two weeks they have a newly put
together web page on uh on their

22
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:34,400
computer and it takes in all of Southern
Portage County, but it lets you know all

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:40,320
the festivals,
uh all the places where if you want to

24
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:46,799
just go out and go for a walk, go to a a
a farm or uh go pick some apples or do

25
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:51,520
whatever, but it's really very
informative of all kinds of things

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,640
happening that most of us don't even
realize is available and a lot of it

27
00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:01,680
there's no cost. So, just want to share
that with everybody and check on your

28
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:05,439
web page for the for the uh visitors
bureau and see what's happening. It's

29
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:10,479
exciting.
>> Thank you. Uh any other announcements

30
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,840
from department heads?
Okay, we do not have any scheduled

31
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:20,000
meeting guests tonight. So, I will
entertain a motion to approve the

32
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:21,920
meeting minutes from 8:17 to 2026.
>> I'll make that motion.

Um, I do have a couple under

Christmas.

00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,959
» Are there any other changes to the
agenda?

47
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:35,640
» Yeah, I'd like to add uh fire department
old business. I guess it would go under

48
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,640
uh budget and levy.

49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,360
» Budget

» right?
>> And I see that uh beachest isn't on here

51

again. I don't remember where we put
that last time.

52
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,840
» I thought it was under admin.
>> It should be under admin. So that'll be

53
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:54,840
admin number five.
>> Okay.

54
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Other

55
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:03,959

58
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:18,160
» Okay.
>> Since we are I couldn't remember if I

59
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,799
had to do that on mine or but you guys
already passed that to send it over.

60
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:27,800
» So we can just scratch that one. So
we'll remove that.

61
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:27,800
» All right. Any other changes?

62

84
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:49,520
Um, there was a check to O'Reilly's for
fluid. Um, again, we're paying double

85
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:57,000
what a local business sells it for.
Um,

86
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:57,000
I guess we need to pay attention.

87
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,880
» Okay.
>> Um, I don't know if this is, you know,

88
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,759
where we discussed that, but again, this
is a

89
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:12,800
operational cost that does nothing for
the citizens and the residents. It's

90
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,440
just an extra expense.
>> What was the project deck?

91
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,560
» Deaf fluid.
>> Okay. Okay. So, the purchase was made.

92
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:25,199
So, we I don't think we can pull
pasture.

93
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:27,440
» Yeah. I just wanted again we need to pay
attention to what we're spending our

94
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:31,199
money on.
>> Okay.

95
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:37,840

» Nick,
>> yes.

99
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,400
» Motion pass.
>> All right. Next, we will move into

100
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,680
public comments. Uh, we do ask that you
sign up to speak. Um, I'll put the

101
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,960
signup sheet up here. If there's any
other, uh, speakers, we do, please ask

102
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:56,000
that you state your name before
addressing the board. We'll limit you to

103
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:00,800
three minutes and we will take your
comments under consideration. Uh, today

104
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:04,039
we have Bob McKenna. We'll give you
three minutes.

105
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:13,599
Bob McKenna Town Road, not from
Benfield, but been here 26 years. All I

106
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:18,400
hear is accountability and transparency.
I requested six years of fireman funds

107
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,960
to see what balances were and where the
money went. You as the board took

108
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,960
1,130,54626

109
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:33,280
unauthorized from the fireman fund, not
charged to any fire code or

110
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:36,520
accountability. And that doesn't count
the $158,682

111
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:43,680
you took back from them in one day
because the town's jed money came in and

112
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:48,080
you took it right back. Now, I don't
know when you read your warrants that

113
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,160
you don't look at the checks you're
signing or how that works, but

114
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:56,960
somebody's got to account for this. You
know, it's $1.3 million from their fund,

115
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:01,680
but you're telling us they're broke
because you guys spent the money. And

116
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,400
any way you want to look at it, it comes
down on the trustees and that's it. You

117
00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:12,240
sky spent the money. You signed for it.
They had plenty of money till you took

118
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:16,319
it and now you're saying, "Oh, the fire
department needs a levy. They just need

119
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:20,240
their money back." It's simple as that.
And you need to explain to everybody

120
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:24,479
sitting here where that money went. I
can read it to you, but you won't give

121
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:29,595
me that kind of time.
>> Thank you for your comments. All right.

122
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,959
Calling for any other comments tonight.
>> [snorts]

123
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,360
» All right, hearing none, we will move
into safety concerns. Are there any

124
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:41,360
safety concerns?
>> Yeah, I have one, Nick. Um, Sandy Lake

125
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:46,480
Road where it stops into Malloy Road,
that intersection. It's not ours. It's

126
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:52,240
county, but uh a car didn't stop at the
stop sign, went through a yard, uh 7 to

127
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:59,040
8 feet in this guy's house, missed his
bedroom by four feet. I talked to Mike

128
00:08:54,959 --> 00:09:02,640
Collins at the um county. They have no
record of a guardrail being there. I

129
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:07,760
know there was a guardrail there at one
time and it's been removed.

130
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:13,279
Uh it's not Dave's fault or anything. He
has nothing to do with it, but the

131
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:16,640
county is uh dragging their feet as to
putting a guardrail in front of this

132
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,360
guy's house.
>> Is that the one that we looked at

133
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,360
before, Dave?
>> No, this is different.

134
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,560
» This is all different area.
>> Yeah. Okay. That's why we just think

135
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,760
intended we approach them before.
>> I just want you to know that the

136
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,839
resident can't sleep. They're scared to
death. Um, it happened at like two in

137
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,880
the morning, I think. Do you remember,
Dave? Two,

138
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,760
» three.
>> Well, I I got a call about a sign down

139
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,800
at six in the morning.
>> Okay.

140
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,800
» But the accident happened before.
>> Yeah. So, this is just at the end of

141
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:46,480
Sandy Lake coming into Burnfield.
>> Okay.

142
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:50,080
» It's kind of a weird intersection.
So, one of the options that we could

143
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:55,200
have with a safety concern like this,
because it's not our property, we could

144
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:59,200
draft a request to the county engineer
and send it on behalf of the board, just

145
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:05,760
requesting them.
>> I requested uh I called Mike Collins and

146
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:11,600
uh I talked to him about when the when
the guard rail had been removed.

147
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:15,760
He's not called me back. Um
but he said that there was new DOT

148
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,519
updates or something to guard rails. I
don't know anything about that. Do you,

149
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,959
Dave?
>> No, I I normally go through the

150
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,800
engineers's office for that stuff.
>> Well, my concern is they put a guardrail

151
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,600
next to my house.
It's probably 100 ft long.

152
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,720
» Mhm.
>> There hasn't been a wreck there in 60

153
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:35,519
years. I don't know why there's a
guardrail there. Um, this guy can't

154
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:40,240
sleep at night. His house is destroyed.
I I don't know. The car went seven feet

155
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:45,279
into the house, knocked the walls out,
and everything else. Um, I just want

156
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:48,480
everybody to know that they're upset.
They can't get anywhere with the county.

157
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:51,200
I can't give it anywhere with the
county. So,

158
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:57,040
» well, my recommendation would be we
would create a letter from the board

159
00:10:53,200 --> 00:11:00,800
requesting the county to evaluate it and
give us a written opinion back.

160
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:05,040
» Well, their answer, Mike's answer was
that he could put up another sign. Uh,

161
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:09,200
that's
from the stop sign to the guy's house is

162
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,440
probably to that wall,
>> right?

163
00:11:10,079 --> 00:11:14,880
» I mean, it's if you're not going to see
a sign, you're not going to it's not

164
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,640
going to stop you, right? So, uh, Heidi
Workman is making some phone calls, too.

165
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:20,640
» Okay.
>> Um,

166
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,360
» and it might help her to go a long ways,
though. I mean, that's that's our power.

167
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,440
That's the ability we have to kind of
like document it and that might be a

168
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,160
piece to help.
>> But it is a county road, county

169
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,680
intersection. But those are our
residents and

170
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:33,760
» because then she can use that also in
her conversation saying the board is

171
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:35,600
requesting.
>> Okay.

172
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,240
» So, if you want to do that, we can make
that as a motion. That's fine.

173
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,200
» And we can draft it and just have us
each of us sign it.

174
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,480
» Yeah. I agree. That's fine.
>> All right. So, I'll entertain a motion

175
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:48,320
to send a letter from the board of
trustees to the county engineer

176
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:53,040
requesting an evaluation and
installation of guard railing at the

177
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:56,320
intersection of Mallaloy and Sandy Lake.
>> Yes,

178
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,279
» I'll second that.
>> Any further discussion? We'll have the

179
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,959
township administrator drafted when he
returns.

180
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,120
» Okay. Thank you.
>> You're welcome.

181
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,160
» All right. Roll call to accept that.
>> Kevin,

182
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:05,360
» yes.
>> Sue,

183
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,560
» yes.
>> Nick,

184
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,440
» yes.
>> Motion passes.

185
00:12:07,839 --> 00:12:14,320
» I'll let them know. Thank you.
>> Thank you.

186
00:12:10,959 --> 00:12:17,200
All right. Any other safety concerns?
>> Hearing none, we'll move into our

187
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,639
department updates. We start our police
department. Floor is yours, sir.

188
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:26,880
» Thank you. [clears throat] The police
department calls for service currently

189
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:32,800
14,022. We are on pace to break 20,000
calls this year, which will be the

190
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:36,560
highest number ever. Um, if we keep this
pace, we'll be a roughly around 21,000

191
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:40,800
calls this year.
Uh, old business or sorry, new business.

192
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:45,839
We attended the Brimfield Elementary
open house. Um, Captain Penn made her

193
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:51,440
first public appearance there along with
Chief Malali and a couple other officers

194
00:12:47,839 --> 00:12:55,120
and got to meet some of the kids and um,
be visible with the parents uh, at the

195
00:12:53,279 --> 00:13:00,240
door during orientation. She covered for
me. So, that was appreciate her help

196
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:05,279
with that. So, it went well.
Uh, the second annual Fast and the

197
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:10,240
Furious car show is now being scheduled.
Uh we had a pretty good success even

198
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:15,279
with iffy weather. We have a tenative
date of August 29th, 2027

199
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:18,880
[clears throat] again at field schools.
We are planning a rain date this year

200
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,560
because there was a lot of anxiety about
possible weather and we didn't have a

201
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:27,624
rain date set. The rain will be October
3rd. But 829 27 and 103 are the two

202
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,680
tenative dates for that car
[clears throat] show uh again for next

203
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:35,920
year.
And the only thing I have for board

204
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:42,399
approval is from the Fast and Furious
car show. I ask the board to ex uh pass

205
00:13:38,959 --> 00:13:47,920
a resolution accepting $3,076
in donations uh from the various sources

206
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:52,240
from the car show and also for the board
to recognize Officer Michael Rhodess for

207
00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:56,639
his hard work planning, organizing, and
hosting the car show.

208
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:01,680
Right. We'll start with uh I'll
entertain a motion to accept $3,76 in

209
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,120
donations from Fast and Furious to car
show.

210
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,480
» So moved.
>> Second.

211
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,959
» Any discussion on that?
>> All right. Roll call to accept money.

212
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,079
» Kevin,
>> yes.

213
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,360
» Sue,
>> yes.

214
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:14,160
» Nick,
>> yes.

215
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,320
» Motion passes. And then in recognition
of officer Michael Rhodess, would you

216
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:22,160
like a letter from the board or so? I'll
entertain a motion to [clears throat]

217
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:26,480
accept or uh to uh send a letter from
the board of trustees recognizing

218
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,720
officer Michael Rhodess for his work in
planning and organizing and hosting the

219
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:32,240
fast and the furiest part.
>> So move

220
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,680
» second
>> and then we'll get that drafted and sent

221
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,959
over and have audit in the office for us
all the time.

222
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,440
» Yes.
>> All right. Any discussion on that other

223
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:43,839
than if he's listening? Uh thank you
officer Rhodess for everything that

224
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,600
you've done with that. I think it's a
great program and it's going to help to

225
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,800
that program as we go forward.
>> It is. Just want to give him a little

226
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,079
bit of credit because he put in a lot of
work on his own time. There are a bunch

227
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:57,519
of officers and some of our
administrative staff that helped out

228
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:01,199
that made it happen. But it's given Mike
a little bit of a nata boy above

229
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:05,920
everybody else because he he spent a lot
of time getting vendors, getting

230
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,279
sponsors who sponsored the awards,
getting the awards made. So he he put in

231
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,600
a little extra work. Let's give him
credit for that.

232
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,320
Thank you.
>> All right. Uh, roll call to accept.

233
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,440
» Kevin,
>> yes.

234
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,480
» Sue,
>> yes.

235
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,279
» Nick,
>> yes.

236
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:21,279
» Motion passes.
>> And that's all I have.

237
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,519
» All right. Do we have any questions for
police department?

238
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:26,320
» Yes, we do.
>> All right.

239
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:32,320
» It's more of a statement, I guess, than
a question. Um, I've been having a lot

240
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:37,040
of trouble with uh people passing me
when I'm on my farm equipment on double

241
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:40,320
yellows.
I know that I don't look for special

242
00:15:38,959 --> 00:15:43,440
treatment, but somebody's going to get
killed.

243
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:46,880
» Technically, they're allowed to pass
>> on double yellows up a hill.

244
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,399
» They need to do it safely. So, all the
rules about when you could pass, the

245
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,800
double yellow exemption doesn't apply
when it's a slow moving

246
00:15:52,959 --> 00:15:57,839
uh or like a delivery truck is parked
there, you're allowed to pass on a

247
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,120
double yellow. However, you still have
to maintain the ability to see so far.

248
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:07,600
So, being on a hill, can't do it. Doing
it speed can't do it. If you can't see

249
00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:13,360
clear in both directions, can't do it.
So, we could stop and advise for that,

250
00:16:11,839 --> 00:16:18,720
but technically you there is an
exemption for improper passing when it's

251
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:23,199
a slowmoving vehicle or a parked vehicle
on the roadway.

252
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:27,199
» Um, road is pretty bad.
>> We uh maybe [clears throat] hit it

253
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,600
during the day when when's the tractor
going up and down?

254
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:35,519
» When the sun's shining.
>> All right. would keep an eye. I mean,

255
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:40,880
it's it's not exclusive to tractors.
It's to Amazon trucks, UPS trucks, FedEx

256
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,440
trucks, the mailman.
>> It's all of those things there. If

257
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,600
people would just slow down a little
bit, then it makes it a whole a lot heck

258
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:50,160
a lot safer.
>> Thank you.

259
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:55,440
» Yep.
>> Other questions for police.

260
00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:58,240
» Hearing none, we'll move into fire
department.

261
00:16:56,079 --> 00:17:02,320
» Okay. Thank you, Nick. Um, old business,
uh, budget and levy updates. Um we've

262
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:08,160
Ron and I, the assistant chief, have
been working with the administrator on

263
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:11,360
um just maintaining the budget um cuts
that we we've looked at and it's just

264
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:16,079
going to take some time to see some
results on that. Um as far as the levy

265
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:21,919
um and and that's down in a little bit
of the new business, um we're getting

266
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:26,640
ready for that. Um preparing um signs uh
information that's going to go out and

267
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:30,720
we'll have that out um shortly. Um also
talking about some open houses coming

268
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:38,000
up. So, so gathering some information of
how we want to uh start hitting that.

269
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:43,919
Um on new business, um the FD did attend
uh the elementary open house like or

270
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:47,600
Chief Atkins said. Um that did go great.
Uh there was a ton of kids that came up

271
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:52,000
to our table. The police and the fire
shared a table. Well, I kind of budded

272
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:56,880
it on their table, but uh it was great.
Um and met the new captain there and and

273
00:17:54,320 --> 00:18:00,320
she was great also. Um, and then we're
preparing for an active shooter training

274
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,679
in the township. That location is not
discussed yet because I don't know if

275
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,799
they want it out there yet, so I won't
say anything more at that point, but

276
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:11,039
we'll have something coming up in the
next few months.

277
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:14,559
Um, that's all I have on new business
unless there's questions.

278
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:21,120
» Open up the floor for uh questions or
comments for fire department.

279
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:24,320
» Yeah. Um, Craig, you you mentioned a few
times that uh you were going to cut out

280
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:31,440
the Amazon purchases.
>> Mhm. Um, I think it was last week we

281
00:18:27,679 --> 00:18:35,120
signed a check for $197 for boots.
>> Yep. Yep. I have to provide fire boots

282
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,720
uh for the guys and that's what that
was.

283
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,600
» I thought wouldn't that be part of
uniforms?

284
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:42,600
» No. Uh, fire gear is separate.
>> Okay.

285
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:49,679
Okay.
Other questions?

286
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:53,039
All right. Hearing none, we'll move into
administration.

287
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:56,080
We'll start with property tax payment
township owned partials. that's still in

288
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,799
the state of Ohio's hands. We have not
been given an update unless Jasmine,

289
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,799
you've gotten something that I haven't
seen yet there.

290
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:06,559
» No. Um, but prior to the last meeting, I
did reach out and spoke with someone

291
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:12,799
down in Columbus. They said it would
take about two more months. So, that was

292
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:16,080
in August. So, hopefully by October,
>> we'll just leave it there under old

293
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:22,160
business. We'll keep checking. We'll get
us an answer eventually.

294
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:27,280
Uh, number two, PM MIA observance event.
Um, this has been scheduled. I do want

295
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:31,919
to take a chance and say uh thank you to
Alpha 11 Veteran Logistics. This will be

296
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:37,679
taking place Friday, September 18th,
2026 here at the Brimfield Gazebo at 11

297
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:43,760
a.m. Uh there will be flyers put out and
it'll be on our social media feed. Also,

298
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:48,000
this will be our first annual PMIA
uh remembrance day ceremony. Veterans,

299
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:53,120
families, and the public are invited to
attend the ceremony to remember those

300
00:19:49,919 --> 00:19:57,840
who never came home. Um, I want to give
a shout out to Lee Giddon. He is the CEO

301
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:01,840
of Alpha 11. He approached us about this
and is heading up the project. Um, we're

302
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,923
just providing the space and
information.

303
00:20:03,903 --> 00:20:05,923
[clears throat]

304
00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:12,400
» All right. Number three, hometown
Christmas. Uh, we need to start planning

305
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:19,520
the hometown Christmas event. We do have
that date set. It is the Sunday after um

306
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:23,120
Thanksgiving. Uh, I do have a request
that I would like to put in there for

307
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,559
for this at least for discussion
tonight. Um, I have talked with SMC

308
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:32,880
Lighting. SMC Lighting is the one who
has done our lighting before at the town

309
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:36,480
hall for our Christmas events. Um, he
was asking if we were interested in

310
00:20:34,159 --> 00:20:40,240
doing again this year. Um because of the
budgetary constraints, we didn't really

311
00:20:37,919 --> 00:20:44,720
talk much at first, but we do have some
potential donors that are coming in. And

312
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:49,520
SMC Lights, uh the owner, Marcus,
reached out and said, "Hey, if you can

313
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:52,960
do $5,000 worth of lighting displays,
I'll throw in another $5,000 worth of

314
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:58,000
lighting displays at the town center to
put the hometown Christmas together for

315
00:20:54,559 --> 00:21:03,919
you." Um spoke with Jasmine today. I
would like to ask the board um to

316
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:08,799
approve $5,000 for Christmas lighting
through S to not exceed $5,000 through

317
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:13,440
SMC lights. Um that number could be
reduced by donations that we get from

318
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:18,640
local businesses. But this way we could
secure SMC currently and uh start the

319
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,480
process of getting those lights ordered
and in place for the holidays because he

320
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:27,760
has to build a lot of that prior to
that.

321
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:33,679
So, um, for discussion, I'd like to make
a motion to accept, um, a five a budget

322
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:37,760
not to exceed $5,000 for hometown
Christmas lighting.

323
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,880
So, I need a second for discussion.
>> I'll second that for discussion.

324
00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:49,840
» So, Jasmine, budget wise, admin budget,
we could do that if we had to.

325
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:54,880
» Yes. As long as it does not exceed
5,000. So, yes.

326
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:59,919
So, the goal is to get donations and not
spend $5,000. But we also, if we're

327
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,600
going to get uh SMC lights to be our
provider and match, we're going to have

328
00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:07,919
to do something sooner than later
because they have to buy the lights.

329
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:11,440
They have to start the building.
>> What are your thoughts, Kevin?

330
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:15,760
» What did we spend last year? Does
anybody know?

331
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:21,520
» I can look it up. I don't know off the
top of my head, though.

332
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:24,960
You can circle it back to me though.
What's the latest we can let them know?

333
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,960
» Um,
>> because I'd really like to have the

334
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:32,080
donations before we commit.
>> Yeah, he's kind of up against timeline.

335
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,360
He really wanted to know last month
because he's already ordering and

336
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,960
building stuff, but he's been trying to
work with us because he's worked with us

337
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:43,840
for a couple years now. Um, and he wants
to continue working with the township

338
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:49,120
and trying to make that town.
>> I don't want a blue Christmas.

339
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:52,080
It sends a bad message for 14,000
people.

340
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,960
It has to be 5,000.
>> No, we could do less. It need match at

341
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,159
that less amount.
>> The goal being though, uh, we're only

342
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:06,799
going to be focused in on that side of
the building, not doing the library, not

343
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,720
doing the back lot here. Just trying to
make a nice display for the center of

344
00:23:09,679 --> 00:23:15,440
the town.
>> We've been working with one business in

345
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:18,480
particular for a donation. Um, but with
the administrator being out on vacation,

346
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:25,480
we didn't get a response. That's what
can Can we table this for two weeks

347
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,480
» to see where Royy's [snorts] at?

348
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,559
» I got to ask him and see.
>> That's what I would prefer.

349
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,760
» Okay.
>> I'd like his input.

350
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:35,679
» Yeah.
>> Because I know he was working on some

351
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:38,960
things,
>> right? Yeah. I just didn't want to run

352
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:41,760
out of time where we wouldn't be able to
to do something. That's We're just in

353
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,400
that tight spot.
>> Can you call me

354
00:23:43,986 --> 00:23:47,440
[laughter]
>> like right now?

355
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,960
» He's in the middle of nowhere right now.
I bet he swear they don't even have it.

356
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:54,000
» I think he said don't call me.
>> Yeah, he said you

357
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,960
» mentioned something about satellite
phones. So

358
00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,960
» I think I would prefer to table this
till Royy's here.

359
00:24:00,159 --> 00:24:07,120
» Okay,
>> I'm good. I just wanted to bring it up

360
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:09,919
because SMC had reached out and trying
>> if he wants to work with us. A couple

361
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:14,080
weeks shouldn't hurt anything, right?
Right. Well, we've been going back and

362
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:17,600
forth for about a month when he had the
original idea, but we had no funding and

363
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,799
then we had that donation offer come in
a week ago.

364
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:22,240
» I'd like to see where that's at and we
don't know, right?

365
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,799
» No.
>> Okay. Yeah, if we can table it to Roy

366
00:24:25,919 --> 00:24:29,600
» lets us know.
>> Okay, I'm good with that. I just want to

367
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,600
bring it forward to the board.
>> Yep.

368
00:24:29,919 --> 00:24:35,120
» So, we have a motion, a second. Um, I'll
entertain a motion to table the hometown

369
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,440
Christmas discussion for Lightning.
>> I'll make that motion.

370
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:40,240
» Second.
>> All right. Roll call to table.

371
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:41,440
Kevin,
>> yes.

372
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:42,720
» Sue,
>> yes.

373
00:24:42,159 --> 00:24:44,559
» Nick,
>> yes.

374
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:50,559
» Motion table.
>> All right. Also, under old business, we

375
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:54,000
have no peek grant usage. Um, we do have
some grants that need to be used by

376
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:58,000
November of 2026. Township administrator
is working on that. The hallway doors

377
00:24:56,159 --> 00:25:02,320
out here don't secure right. And there's
some um other pieces with that we might

378
00:25:00,159 --> 00:25:06,720
use those grant dollars for. And we're
also getting quotes for electric on the

379
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:11,120
fixing the electric on the back garage
here. If we don't use those funds by the

380
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:15,120
middle of November, um we'll lose those
grant dollars. So, we're trying to find

381
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,200
» how much you know how much those grant
dollars are?

382
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,720
» I don't have the exact number in front
of me.

383
00:25:17,679 --> 00:25:23,039
» Um
>> was around 20,000, Jasmine.

384
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:28,159
» Yes, I sent
>> I want to say it was 26.

385
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:31,480
» Let me see. I know
>> it is

386
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,320
» $20,414.98

387
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:42,960
cents set to expire on November 30th.
>> So we have $20,000 if the department has

388
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,640
have other things that could fall under
that noc piece. Please let us know. We

389
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:52,559
have additional grant dollars that are
out there, but these are the funds that

390
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:55,279
we have to use by the end of November.
Okay.

391
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,520
» With our Christmas.
>> I use what I could.

392
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,960
» That's electric.
>> It has to be energy energy efficient

393
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,559
process.
>> Well, they could use LED lights.

394
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,039
» Just ask. And just ask.
>> So, I just want the board to be aware

395
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,159
that that is going on.
>> Thank you.

396
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,400
» Welcome.
>> I would ask.

397
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:20,799
» Um, number five, Beach Crest. Kevin,
that's over.

398
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:27,120
» Yeah. Okay. So, uh I know cold weather's
coming. That's not going to be uh good

399
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:34,320
for the rat situation down there. Um
I've run out of options basically. Um

400
00:26:31,919 --> 00:26:38,960
everyone has turned me down to help.
Health department, commissioners, soil

401
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:45,200
and water engineers office, Dave Joyce
office, wildlife control.

402
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:49,120
The only person that's willing to check
into things is Heidi Workman. I just

403
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:54,720
talked to her today. She's making a few
phone calls to see what we can do. I

404
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:59,039
also called a best pest control just to
see if they could handle something. They

405
00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:04,080
I guess they were working in the area,
but uh I know cold weather's coming. Um

406
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:11,039
a resident down there is still seeing
rats on a regular basis. Um

407
00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:13,279
if we're going to spend $5,000 on
Christmas lights, I think we need to

408
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,520
spend it
>> on

409
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:23,440
» down there on rat control.
Um, that's going to be a bad thing in

410
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:27,440
cold weather shows up. So,
>> options are out there.

411
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:32,640
» Yeah. Uh, Heidi Workman is the only one
that has stepped up and said she will

412
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:35,440
see what she could do. So,
>> just wanted everybody know I'm still

413
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:41,600
working on it. I've made a thousand
phone calls and no [snorts] one wants to

414
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:48,080
call me back. So, here we are.
But uh that's a the rats are all the way

415
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:51,640
down here to 43 and 18. They're coming
down through the stream.

416
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:59,520
» So they're in the storm water.
So water doesn't want to do anything.

417
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:04,480
Water resources doesn't want to do
anything. Health department says

418
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:07,120
absolutely they're not doing nothing.
>> Okay.

419
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,120
» I'll keep working at it.
>> Well, we'll see what Heidi comes up

420
00:28:08,399 --> 00:28:13,600
with.
>> Yeah. Hopefully. Thank you for your

421
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:18,159
input into the situation.
>> Okay,

422
00:28:16,399 --> 00:28:23,120
» it's going to move us into uh new
business then. Uh Portage Parks District

423
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:27,440
sent out an email. They do have a grant
application that is currently open. Uh

424
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:32,559
the application deadline is October 1st
of 2026. So, we do have a short window.

425
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:36,720
We have one more meeting prior to then
uh for us to start discussing grant

426
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:44,720
opportunities. This is a reimbursement
grant. Um it was up to

427
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:50,640
$25,000, minimum of,000 up to $25,000
for community parks and trails grants.

428
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:55,679
Um development of improvement projects
is opportunities for us to uh submit for

429
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,840
things such as trail and support
facilities, picnic and support

430
00:28:57,279 --> 00:29:03,840
facilities, nature play areas, storybook
trails, park amenities such as benches,

431
00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:08,000
tables, waste receptacles, water
fountains, bike racks, uh native plant

432
00:29:06,159 --> 00:29:13,600
landscaping, rain gardens,
reforestation, entrance and educational

433
00:29:10,159 --> 00:29:18,960
signage, and so on. Um I'd be interested
in us looking at this as an application

434
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:24,640
potential for this year. Um, there was a
proposal in the past to have a community

435
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:29,039
garden at the community center. Um,
Kevin, what do you think about that as

436
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:32,480
an application? If we were to put a
community garden down there on that back

437
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,559
side, we'd have to pay for it up front,
but then we'd be reimbursed if we were

438
00:29:34,399 --> 00:29:40,000
awarded the grant.
>> Yeah, that's fine. Um,

439
00:29:37,679 --> 00:29:44,159
» we can put some We're able to put some
small plots in, put up some fencing as

440
00:29:41,919 --> 00:29:48,640
part of it, rainwater barrels down there
to collect water for it. I know there's

441
00:29:45,919 --> 00:29:52,000
a huge need for community gardens and
all the developments around there. So,

442
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:57,200
» yeah.
>> Well, we've tried that before

443
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,679
and we didn't get good response from the
people.

444
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,559
» We didn't get uh we didn't get approve
of the grant. So, that's what stopped

445
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,840
with that was we were going to put it
in. It was a grant through another

446
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:10,559
organization
um that did not get awarded that year.

447
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,440
So, this is another chance for us to
apply for that grant

448
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:18,080
» where we put that community garden and
we need to put together a project list

449
00:30:15,679 --> 00:30:21,600
though by October 1st.
>> Would it would it be possible? You know,

450
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:27,679
we're trying to think of ideas that we
could use this grant money for. Would it

451
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:33,360
be possible to consider asking if over
at Meuire Park if we could get any help

452
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:36,159
on that house maybe for demolition?
>> Yeah, it's not whatever.

453
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:40,080
» Wouldn't work for that. This has to be
specifically for

454
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,880
parks projects. So it have to be we'd
have to be putting in a trail over there

455
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,240
or something for that.
>> Well, we could always use some picnic

456
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,840
tables over there since they threw them
in the lake.

457
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,960
» Well, that's was the other thing I was
going to ask Dave. We could use some

458
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:55,360
benching over at Meguire Park. We could
include that in the application, too.

459
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,919
» Yeah, we just have to find a way to
mount them down for they don't end up in

460
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,919
the lake.
>> The problem is it's all sand over there,

461
00:30:59,679 --> 00:31:06,399
so it's hard to mount,
>> right? But the the newer batches and

462
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:09,840
less ones like we have all over
everywhere else, they're they're very

463
00:31:07,919 --> 00:31:12,320
heavy. So it's not like one or two
people going to pick them up and flip

464
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,840
them. So
>> Okay.

465
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:22,399
» So it's up to the board
>> some trails to up up schedule the up do

466
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:26,720
the trails over there so people could
snow ski over there in the winter time.

467
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:29,600
» That was talks down at Cranberry Creek
in the past, but

468
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,679
» Okay.
>> I don't know if D's ready to take that

469
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,240
project on.
>> No. Norm normally we got a project like

470
00:31:34,399 --> 00:31:40,640
that over Cranberry Creek and
>> we kept everything cut back for

471
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:44,480
everybody to and I never seen anybody or
even seen tracks of somebody whatever

472
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:47,360
you
>> snow skiing. So

473
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:51,840
» yeah, I think really the seating at
Meguire was on my list and so was the

474
00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:55,760
community garden. Um we want to put
together some ideas and share them with

475
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,720
Roy. We it's it's a pretty short
application. I think we should at least

476
00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:03,039
submit for it this year. See if we can
get some of that funding. submit for

477
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:06,960
something we have an opportunity.
>> So, I just wanted the board to be aware

478
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:10,880
and then uh we'll need to have those
submission ideas put together and

479
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,320
presented at the next board of trustees
meeting for our approval so that we can

480
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,039
submit the application by that October
1st.

481
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,840
» Okay.
>> Okay. Okay.

482
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:30,640
» All right. Next up, we have a resolution
in support of Ohio Senate Bill 307.

483
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:35,039
Um, I would like to entertain a motion
to accept a resolution expressing the

484
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:40,320
support of Brimfield Township Board of
Trustees for Ohio Senate Bill 307, which

485
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,240
would authorize the use of tax increment
financing revenue for police and

486
00:32:42,399 --> 00:32:45,919
firefighting facilities.
>> So move.

487
00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:50,240
» Second.
>> All right. A little background on this

488
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:54,720
just for our residents uh here too so
they understand what it is. Um, I think

489
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,519
it's important that we explain what the
bill does and equally important to

490
00:32:56,159 --> 00:33:02,000
explain what the bill does not do.
Burnfield Township already utilizes tax

491
00:32:59,919 --> 00:33:06,080
increment financing, commonly referred
to as a TIF, as an economic development

492
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:09,440
tool. At a high level, a TIFF allows
communities to capture revenue

493
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,720
associated with the increased property
value created by development and

494
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,799
dedicate those dollars towards
qualifying public infrastructure that

495
00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:20,480
supports the development. That can mean
roads, water, sewer infrastructure, and

496
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:25,039
other improvements that allow
development to occur and help us manage

497
00:33:22,159 --> 00:33:29,120
the growth that follows. Senate Bill 307
makes a relatively simple but very

498
00:33:26,799 --> 00:33:33,039
important change. It specifically adds
police and firefighting buildings for

499
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,399
the types of public infrastructure that
can be supported through tiff revenue.

500
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,679
This is particularly important for
growing communities such as Brimfield.

501
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:43,360
When commercial and residential
development occurs, it does more than

502
00:33:41,679 --> 00:33:47,279
create additional property value. It
creates additional demand on our

503
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:51,279
infrastructure and on the services we
provide. More development means more

504
00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:55,760
roads to patrol, more businesses and
homes to protect, more emergency calls,

505
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:59,600
and ultimately greater demands on our
police and fire departments. I believe

506
00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:02,880
it makes sense that the economic growth
helping create those demands should be

507
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:07,440
allowed to help pay for the public
safety infrastructure necessary to serve

508
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:11,200
that growth. Senate Bill 307 does not
create a new tax. It does not increase

509
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:14,639
the amount of tiff revenue being
collected and it does not allow us to

510
00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:19,440
simply use tiff dollars for police
salaries, firefighter salaries or our

511
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:23,520
everyday operating expenses. What it
does give is communities another

512
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:27,040
financing tool for qualifying police and
fire facilities. That distinction

513
00:34:25,359 --> 00:34:31,280
matters. If in the future Brimfield has
a qualifying public safety facility need

514
00:34:29,359 --> 00:34:35,040
and tiff revenue is legally available to
help finance the project. Every dollar

515
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:39,119
appropriately paid through that tiff is
a dollar that goes that does not have to

516
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:43,359
come entirely from our other traditional
funding sources. That gives the township

517
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:47,520
greater flexibility in how we manage our
capital needs and ultimately allows us

518
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:53,599
to make better taxpayer resources. This
is not a partisan issue. Senate Bill 307

519
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:58,240
is sponsored by Senator Jane Timkin, has
bipartisan support, and passed the Ohio

520
00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:01,680
Senate unanimously with by a vote of 31
to zero. The concept has also received

521
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,680
support from local government
organizations and communities across

522
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:09,599
Ohio because they recognize the same
challenges that we are facing here.

523
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:13,599
Economic development and public safety
infrastructure have to grow together.

524
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:17,440
Brimfield Township already uses TIFF as
part of our strategy for managing

525
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,000
infrastructure and development. I
believe allowing public safety

526
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:24,320
facilities to be part of the same
conversation is reasonable, responsible,

527
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:28,000
and beneficial. For those reasons, I am
here to support this resolution and

528
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,760
would encourage the Ohio House to
advance Senate Bill 307 and allow

529
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:35,359
communities like Brimfield Township
greater flexibility to use revenue

530
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:41,119
generated by growth and help pay for
infrastructure necessary to safely

531
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,760
support that growth. So, this would give
us some additional financing

532
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,280
opportunities. Mike, do you have
anything you'd like to add to Senate

533
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:52,560
Bill 307? No, this should have been
originally in in the Ohio Vice Code. So,

534
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,160
we'd welcome it.
Do

535
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:58,720
» we have any questions from the board on
Bill 307?

536
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:02,720
» Right. We have a motion and a second for
a resolution.

537
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,680
Roll call to accept.
>> Kevin,

538
00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:06,160
» yes.
>> Oh, yes.

539
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,599
» Sue,
>> yes.

540
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,920
» Nick,
>> yes.

541
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:13,640
» Motion passes.
>> I'm following you.

542
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:19,520
» All right. Next up, we have two
resolutions coming for to accept a

543
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:25,359
successful bid for the sale of township
owned properties. So, uh about month and

544
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:30,880
a half ago, we had placed two township
properties up on gov deals for sale. Um

545
00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:35,280
those auctions have closed. It is now up
to the board to accept those final bids

546
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:42,720
and upon accepting these then we can
start the transfer of deeds. Uh we will

547
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:47,280
start with 1988 Old Forge. Um, I'm
asking for a motion to accept a

548
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:52,320
resolution accepting the successful bid
for the sale of township owned real

549
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:56,240
property located at 1988 Old Forge Road
and authorizing the trans transfer and

550
00:36:54,480 --> 00:37:00,320
conveyance of the property to the
successful bidder in name only.

551
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,200
» I'll make that motion.
>> Second.

552
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:07,920
» All right. Um, for discussion that
property on Old Forge, once again, the

553
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:12,760
address is 1988 Old Forge Road. The
final successful bid was $43,51.

554
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:20,720
With the if we pass this resolution
here, we can start that transfer of

555
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:26,280
title and payment to the township. We
should receive those funds by the end of

556
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:26,280
the year.

557
00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:32,359
Discussion on that price or any
concerns?

558
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:38,000
» All right, we have a motion in a second.
Roll call to accept the resolution.

559
00:37:37,359 --> 00:37:39,119
Kevin,
>> yes.

560
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,400
» Sue,
>> yes.

561
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,480
» Nick,
>> yes.

562
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:46,640
» Motion passes.
>> I'll entertain a motion, a resolution

563
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:51,440
accepting the successful bid for the
sale of township owned real property

564
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:55,200
located at 3761
Snick and authorizing the transfer and

565
00:37:53,520 --> 00:38:00,240
conveyance of the property to the
successful bidder in name only.

566
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:05,119
» I'll make that motion.
>> Second. Second,

567
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:12,240
» this is for property located again at
3761 Snick. The successful bid to

568
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:16,119
purchase that property is $4,450.
Any discussion on that?

569
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:25,599
» Hearing none. Roll call to accept.
>> I'm thinking I'm thinking here that

570
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:28,800
4,400 seems to be rather low
with that. Maybe we could do better if

571
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:33,440
we tried it again.
>> I think it I think it's wet. I don't

572
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:36,240
think you can build anything like
>> there's there's a way to build that's

573
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:40,560
going to cost some money to build back
there.

574
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:43,680
» Well, what do you think?
>> How much do we pay for it?

575
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:48,560
» Nothing. Nothing.
>> There you go. That's my answer.

576
00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:53,280
» Maybe a hundred bucks.
>> That's a good return. $100.

577
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,920
» Okay. Well, all right. Thanks for
letting me know.

578
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,760
» All right. Roll call to accept the
resolution.

579
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,880
» Kevin,
>> yes.

580
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,720
» Sue,
>> yes. Nick.

581
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,119
» Yes.
>> Motion passes.

582
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:12,240
» Next up, we have a resolution approving
and certifying annual lighting district

583
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:17,200
assessments um to the Portage County
Auditor's Office. So, I'll accept a

584
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:20,079
motion to accept a resolution approving
and certifying annual lighting district

585
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,440
assessments to the Portage County
Auditor and name only.

586
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:26,560
» I'll make that motion.
>> Second.

587
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:29,839
» So, this is Jasmine. Every three years
we have to do this, right? We reassess

588
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:32,480
the lighting district and change how
much

589
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:40,079
» houses are paying back there.
>> Correct. Yes. So, basically, we look at

590
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:44,960
the that last year's um bills,
electrical bills, and we base the

591
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,960
assessment off of that.
And

592
00:39:45,119 --> 00:39:52,400
» so, we were due to do this. This will be
for

593
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:55,280
27, 28, and 2029.
>> Correct.

594
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:58,240
» Uh each lighting district is different.
It's based on the number of homes and

595
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,520
the bills back there. We do an average
cost.

596
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,280
» Yes.
>> Um

597
00:40:01,359 --> 00:40:06,240
but this has to be submitted so that the
tax records can be updated at the county

598
00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:08,400
with this document.
>> Correct.

599
00:40:07,359 --> 00:40:10,800
» Gotcha.
>> Questions on that?

600
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,240
» No.
>> All right. Roll call to accept the

601
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:15,359
resolution.
>> Kevin,

602
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,400
» yes.
>> Sue,

603
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,599
» yes.
>> Nick,

604
00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:22,480
» yes.
>> Motion passes.

605
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:26,960
Lastly, I will uh entertain a motion to
accept the donation of a flat screen TV

606
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:32,240
valued at $600 from Walmart to Brimfield
Township for the township meeting room

607
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:36,800
use and to include a thank you letter to
Amy, the store manager at Walmart.

608
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:38,960
» I'll make that motion.
>> Second.

609
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:43,599
» All right, we have a motion and a second
on the floor. Any discussion?

610
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:46,640
» Thank you. That's wonderful.
>> There it is right there.

611
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:51,440
» Back there. Make a little easier to see.
>> Yes, I can see it now.

612
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,400
All right, we have a motion to second on
the floor. Roll call to accept.

613
00:40:53,839 --> 00:40:55,359
» Kevin,
>> yes.

614
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,400
» Sue,
>> yes.

615
00:40:55,839 --> 00:40:59,280
» Nick,
>> yes.

616
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,520
» Motion passes.
>> Thank you, Amy. Store manager.

617
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:06,000
» Yes.
>> Thank you very much.

618
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:09,599
» Is there anything else uh in the
administration section?

619
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,720
» Uh can we go back to the lighting
districts?

620
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:17,119
» Yes.
>> So, I know we just signed a thing for

621
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:19,359
discounted electric. Does that affect
the lighting districts?

622
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,480
» The lighting districts are different.
>> Okay.

623
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,079
» Yeah.
>> Okay.

624
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:27,599
» Did we talk about number six?
>> We did that earlier.

625
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:30,400
» We did that earlier.
>> Oh, it's not.

626
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:35,119
» Yeah, [snorts] we talked about that
already.

627
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:38,400
» We already approved that. Okay.
>> I thought we did.

628
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:42,800
» I didn't think we did.
>> Oh, no. We talked about it, but Roy

629
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:48,160
added must have added it. Um, so he is
asking for us to approve the use of

630
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:53,119
$5,228
of NOCE grant dollars to repair the

631
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:58,960
garage. So I'll entertain a motion to
utilize $5,22852

632
00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:01,920
of NOC money to repair the garage.
>> So move.

633
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:07,400
» Second.
>> Any discussion on that?

634
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,400
» Question.

635
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:14,800
» Where the damage come from?
So, we think maybe some of that came

636
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,359
from Raycon, but it also needs updated
lighting in there. I believe that's

637
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:20,640
going to include the garage door
openers.

638
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,640
» Not sure on that, but the lighting.
>> Yeah,

639
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:25,599
» but they have to tap off the hole
because they can't go from the

640
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,319
underground anymore as far as I
understand.

641
00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:31,359
» Yeah, I just wondered if it was damaged,
who did the damage?

642
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,960
» Yeah, there was a back and forth on
that. We don't have enough supporting

643
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,960
evidence to show that it was not damaged
prior.

644
00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:44,880
Speak up so I can hear you.
>> Yeah. Uh, so what what are we talking

645
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:48,720
about? I You guys know there's damage. I
don't know anything about it.

646
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,720
» So this was covered before you came in.
There was There used to be some power to

647
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:56,560
that garage out there during the
construction. I believe it was one of

648
00:42:54,319 --> 00:43:01,359
the lines underneath, right? Was cut.
>> Yeah, they were supposed to put a line

649
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:04,640
coming back from from the garage back to
the building. I think that I'm saying

650
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,680
this right. I could be wrong. It got
crushed. But in the meantime, it looks

651
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:11,760
like someone just reached in and just
ripped the whole box apart. It's just

652
00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:15,920
hanging everywhere. And so we have no
electric from the garage back into the

653
00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:19,920
park. So I believe what they have to do
is come off the pole now. Not from the

654
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:24,000
building and come off the pole, come
down and go back, put another electrical

655
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,280
box and some lighting and stuff. I think
there was only two light bulbs in the

656
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,680
whole garage. So I think that was
included. Okay.

657
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,160
» But Roy was working on that. He'd have
to answer. That's my best knowledge.

658
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:37,680
» Okay.
>> Of what was wrong with it.

659
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,920
We can table that if you want. It's
>> fine. I mean, if that needs fixed, it

660
00:43:39,359 --> 00:43:41,760
needs fixed.
>> Yeah.

661
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:45,599
» I just didn't know what it was.
>> Yeah. Unfortunately, we approached

662
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:50,160
Reichcon about it and there wasn't much
support evidence.

663
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:54,000
» All right. So, we motion a second on the
floor for the no effect grant

664
00:43:51,359 --> 00:43:57,119
expenditure.
Roll call to accept.

665
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,319
» Kevin,
>> yes.

666
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,440

» Motion passes.
>> All right. Other discussions under ad.

669
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:14,560
» All right. Hearing none, we'll move into
zoning economic development.

670
00:44:12,079 --> 00:44:17,560
Thanks, Nick. Uh permit fees to date

discussion surrounding data centers
continues including detailed

675
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:42,160
restrictions that are needed in draft
legislation and narrowing down locations

676
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:46,160
that are least impactful for the
township residents. The next zoning

677
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:50,880
commission meeting is September 10th.
The public hearing is set for 6:45

678
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:57,359
regarding Megan's way out and the
regular meeting will begin at 7:00. The

679
00:44:54,400 --> 00:45:01,200
BZA met on August 12th. Three
residential cases were granted variances

680
00:44:59,359 --> 00:45:05,839
and one residential case was tabled
until September meeting. Waffle House

681
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:09,839
was the only commercial case and they
were granted a 5- foot variance for a

682
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:14,960
minimum lot width. The BCA will be
meeting September 9th at 7:00. Then I

683
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:18,880
have one action for the board approval
and that is requesting board approval

684
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:24,319

» Just just one comment from um a resident
um concerned about the growth over there

700
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,839
of businesses, but this is a small
business expanding.

» Motion pass.
>> Thank you. That concludes my report.

708
00:46:42,319 --> 00:46:47,560
» All right. Do we have any questions for
zoning economic development?

709
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:54,640
» All right. Hearing none, we'll move into
road department.

710
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:59,119
» All right. Thanks, Nick. Uh just some
old business. Uh we're still doing some

711
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:04,880
dur patching in various locations in the
township. Uh we did get uh Sherman Road,

712
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:10,720
Lynwood, Congress Lake, and Sun View
ditched. A few little couple ditching

713
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:14,800
projects we wanted to get done. Uh OPWC
around 40, Sanctuary View, alternate

714
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:22,000
Willowbrook. Start dates still looking
like September 21st in a couple weeks.

715
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:26,800
Uh King Ridge followup. Uh I've talked
to to Jarrett and we're looking to

716
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:30,000
getting ready to mow that down here
pretty soon. Should be dry enough here

717
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:34,560
as long as we don't get no more
monsoons, but we're trying on it. Uh,

718
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:39,040
some new business. I just wanted to
thank all the biders for the Malloy Road

719
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:44,960
and Buckeye Boulevard project.
Uh, we're going to start doing a little

720
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:48,000
bit of burning on Lind Lynn Road. In the
next couple weeks, there's various

721
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:51,520
locations where the water's been holding
on the road. So, we'll probably just go

722
00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:56,480
down the roadway and just burn the whole
thing, which is just as easy to do the

723
00:47:53,599 --> 00:48:01,079
whole thing as is just pieces and parts.
And other than that, that concludes my

724
00:47:58,079 --> 00:48:01,079
report.

725
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,520
» Which part of are you doing, Dave?
>> Uh, all in.

726
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,720
» All in.
>> Yeah, we're looking I'm looking at going

727
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:12,359
from one end to the other back on both
sides.

728
00:48:09,359 --> 00:48:12,359
» Okay.

729
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:18,960
» So, we've had a lot of water holding in
the first section before you get to

730
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:23,760
Sandy Lake, but I figured I'm just going
to just do it all.

731
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:27,760
» You're going down to Richtown. Okay.
>> Two deep. Okay.

732
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:34,160
We need to amend the agenda for that
then. All right. I'll entertain or first

733
00:48:32,559 --> 00:48:39,040
of all any additional questions for road
department.

734
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:44,079
Okay. Um I'll entertain a motion to
amend the agenda under cemetery new

735
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:48,240
business. We have two deeds that need to
be signed.

736
00:48:45,359 --> 00:48:50,160
» So move and I'll second. Roll call to
accept the amendment.

737
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,200
» Kevin,
>> yes.

738
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,240
» Sue,
>> yes.

739
00:48:51,599 --> 00:48:55,040
» Nick,
>> yes.

740
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,520
» Motion passes.
Under new business, we have two deeds.

741
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,480
Anything else?
>> You're signed. That's all.

742
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:06,000
» Okay,
that'll move us into fiscal office then.

743
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:11,760
Yasmin, you have a fiscal update.
>> Yes. So, um, Joe, can you pull up that

744
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:18,680
fiscal report, please? We're going to do
the August

745
00:49:13,839 --> 00:49:18,680
fiscal report. A quick review.

746
00:49:20,079 --> 00:49:27,200
All right. So, our financial report.
This is our revenue budget to actual

747
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:31,119
comparison, our year-to- date fund
revenues.

748
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:36,240
Um, just want to pay attention to our
percent of budget currently.

749
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:43,280
Currently, general fund is at 98%. So,
most likely we will be um amending our

750
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:46,640
revenue budget this year because we
still have yet to receive our second

751
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:53,200
half of tax settlements. So, it's always
good to have more revenues than

752
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:59,440
anticipated. Um but currently we are at
um

753
00:49:55,040 --> 00:50:03,079
6 point you might say 6.2 million of um
year-to- date revenues.

754
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,079
Next slide please.

755
00:50:08,319 --> 00:50:16,079
And for expenditures budget to actual
year to date.

756
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:23,680
General fund is at 61% of their budget.
roads 31%, fire 73%, and police 51%.

757
00:50:21,839 --> 00:50:32,040
So, year-to- date expenditures between
those main four funds is currently at

758
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:32,040
about $5.2 million.

759
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,400
Next slide.

760
00:50:40,079 --> 00:50:48,960
And currently our main expenditure is
our salaries. And currently we year to

761
00:50:45,839 --> 00:50:54,280
date we are at 3.24
million for

762
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,280
the year

763
00:50:55,359 --> 00:51:06,319
and currently our cash pos our cash
position currently um at end of August

764
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:13,520
20 26 was at $3
million and our overall expenditure rate

765
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:20,000
is at is at about 47.1% which is really
good. um at the end of at mid year we

766
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:23,440
want to be at least 50% and now we're
almost

767
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:31,400
quite a way through and we're still
under 50%. So I think we're doing good

768
00:51:26,319 --> 00:51:31,400
um as far as spending overall

769
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:41,760
and that concludes my fiscal report.
Um we do have a second item for new

770
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:46,319
business. Uh we have a a resolution to
transfer Jed funds.

771
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:51,119
So basically this resolution um was
draft was drafted just so we could

772
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:56,559
formalize
um and have in writing. So when we do

773
00:51:53,680 --> 00:52:01,920
receive our Jed distributions from the
townage and Kent Jeds that we have um

774
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:07,200
bit more formalized. So when we do make
those dispersements between the funds

775
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:11,040
that um if we ever experience any issues
with the audit we have a paper trail

776
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:15,839
that they can go back to and make sure
that what we have done our procedures

777
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:19,760
are documented.
So essentially uh the between the

778
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,800
auditor and our legal council we've been
looking at some pieces and this is a

779
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:28,400
document that should have been in place
memorializing the 303010.

780
00:52:25,599 --> 00:52:32,480
Um there was no formal resolution to do
that. They're suggesting that there

781
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:36,160
should be a formal resolution in place
because the money comes into the general

782
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:39,599
fund and then it gets distributed out.
So to do that we need a resolution so it

783
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,079
doesn't change any funding for police,
roads or fire. You

784
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:46,160
» sure there wasn't a resolution?
>> We couldn't find anything. It's always

785
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:51,520
been this is what we could give. It's
never been we have to give 30 30 30 10.

786
00:52:49,119 --> 00:52:54,960
So this will memorialize it and give us
it in writing saying and you you can

787
00:52:53,359 --> 00:52:59,760
read in section one it talks about the
transfer at the percentages

788
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:02,000
» but passing this even if there was an
old one this will negate it. Right.

789
00:53:01,599 --> 00:53:04,079
» Correct.
>> Because I'm pretty sure there was a

790
00:53:03,119 --> 00:53:07,200
resolution before.
>> Yeah. We couldn't find anything when we

791
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:10,800
did our initial search. So they're
asking for it because they need it as

792
00:53:08,559 --> 00:53:14,559
part of that audit cleanup piece. So
essentially the money should flow and

793
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:18,160
Jasmine I think you're changing that for
this year right correct the money will

794
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:23,440
actually be deposited into general fund
first so that it's documented in the

795
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:29,200
accounting system in general fund and
then it'll get a transfer from general

796
00:53:25,359 --> 00:53:32,880
fund to police fire based on this this
document. So it doesn't change anything.

797
00:53:31,599 --> 00:53:36,800
It's more of a paperwork issue but it's
piece that we need in place.

798
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:41,599
So I'll entertain a motion to accept a
resolution as to the transfer of certain

799
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:43,839
Jed funds within the township and name.
>> So move

800
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:47,200
» second.
>> All right. Any further discussion on

801
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:52,880
that resolution?
>> I think this just

802
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:57,839
the wordage here just makes everything
up to date and even though if it was

803
00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:02,319
done 20 years ago, this actually here
will bring it forward to to be right on

804
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:05,440
top of everything.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And now we put it into the

805
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:09,440
system and awareness for audits.
>> We'll be in good a lot better shape

806
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:12,559
having it in writing.
>> Okay.

807
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,760
» All right. Roll call to accept.
>> Kevin,

808
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:14,880
» yes.
>> Sue,

809
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,160
» yes.
>> Nick,

810
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,800
» yes.
>> Motion passes.

811
00:54:17,599 --> 00:54:21,760
» All right. The board does have an
executive session tonight, but prior to

812
00:54:20,319 --> 00:54:24,960
executive session, we would like to open
up the floor for the good of Burnfield

813
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:29,040
Township. During this time, we'll open
up uh for public comments for us to take

814
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:33,280
under consideration. We do ask that you
sign in first and we will give you three

815
00:54:31,119 --> 00:54:37,079
minutes to speak. So, we'll open the
floor up for those comments.

816
00:54:53,200 --> 00:55:00,000
» All right, we have Miss Shirley Mars.
Floor is yours.

817
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:04,720
» Okay. Um, I just wanted to hearing the
$10,000 for lighting. That seems like a

818
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:09,040
lot of money. Especially you're saying
it's only on this side and not on this

819
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:14,000
side. I see all last year I saw, you
know, we spent $10,000 on the lighting

820
00:55:11,359 --> 00:55:18,880
here. We got all this fancy lighting for
10,000 and then you have the oldest

821
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:24,640
nativity set up there that I've ever
seen. When we moved here in 1980, that

822
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:31,760
was the same nativity set. It has been
repainted and repainted and repainted

823
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:35,760
and it is trash. It's embarrassing. And
so to even think about and $10,000 I

824
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:39,760
could spend a lot get a lot of
decorations for $10,000.

825
00:55:38,079 --> 00:55:45,200
Why don't we do it ourselves or do
something that it should not cost

826
00:55:42,079 --> 00:55:48,640
$10,000 to do lighting? Um and
especially with our budget constraints,

827
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:56,960
there's got to be other ways. Couldn't
you get businesses to donate that or

828
00:55:53,040 --> 00:56:04,319
or even citizens to donate? But to do um
$10,000 in this economy for our township

829
00:56:01,599 --> 00:56:08,000
seems a little
I don't know if I see $10,000 worth of

830
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:15,440
lights out there and you're asking me to
to vote for yes for a fire levy. I'm

831
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:19,920
like I don't know. So, I just think you
should reconsider and think about um if

832
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:23,920
you're going to spend $10,000, at least
get Well, I wouldn't even spend $10,000

833
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:28,160
on it, but you need a better nativity
set because it is embarrassing.

834
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:31,920
So,
>> thank you for your comments. Just a

835
00:56:30,079 --> 00:56:35,760
clarification to the public, too. Um it
is not $10,000 from the board of

836
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:39,920
trustees. It was a $5,000 ask and there
was donations being uh sought for part

837
00:56:38,319 --> 00:56:45,359
of that to cover those costs up to the
5,000. So, just one clarification. Well,

838
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:52,559
just to clarify here, I think that
nativity sink set has been there. I came

839
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:58,640
here in ' 86 and it's been here all that
time. And I think a lot of the times it

840
00:56:55,280 --> 00:57:05,359
was redone was for the historical value
that it gave the the the residents. But

841
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:10,640
historically, I think it's died. And
it's time for us to find something that

842
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:14,880
that's not that it's more modern, but
something that would really know that

843
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:19,680
people would know that we really want
the best the very best that we can we

844
00:57:17,599 --> 00:57:24,400
can do for our residents.
>> Okay. I know we've looked at it each

845
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:27,680
year some options.
>> All right. Any other

846
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:31,520
» That's not bad. That's not bad. It's
just everything moves along and

847
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:35,760
everything changes. It never stays the
same for very long. Right.

848
00:57:34,559 --> 00:57:39,680
» All right. Anything else for the go to
Brimfield?

849
00:57:36,799 --> 00:57:47,599
» Um, I think we'd like to take a moment
to honor Mr. Wetzel

850
00:57:43,839 --> 00:57:52,480
who just recently passed away.
If anybody would like to say something

851
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:58,400
to his family. I don't know him. I just
know of the situation.

852
00:57:55,440 --> 00:58:02,799
» Oh, I didn't know of the situation.
>> Kevin, I would like to say something.

853
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:06,480
And I knew George um decently well.
Coached football with him. Um his his

854
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:11,040
son Mason was actually one of the
firefighters with us for a while until

855
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:15,119
he decided to do something else. But um
went down to that memorial um at the

856
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:19,440
school and it was great. I mean there
was hundreds of people there that

857
00:58:17,119 --> 00:58:24,240
gathered for him. Um I don't think it's
uncommon knowledge he got stage four

858
00:58:21,119 --> 00:58:28,799
cancer and it got him pretty quick. Um
but what a what a great guy. I mean he

859
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:32,400
he taught at the school for years and
and

860
00:58:30,079 --> 00:58:36,160
He he was hard-nosed.
I like that about him when I coached

861
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:41,200
football with him. I mean, you did it
you did it the old school way. So, he

862
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:45,920
was just a good guy. So, um it's a shame
that that had to happen, but you know,

863
00:58:43,359 --> 00:58:51,040
his family's great and talked to the
wife and it's a pain that'll never go

864
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:54,480
away for her like she described, but
feel sorry for the family. But what a

865
00:58:52,960 --> 00:59:00,200
great guy.
>> Thank you. Yeah.

866
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,200
Anything

867
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,640
else this evening?

868
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:13,359
If not, I'll entertain a motion to
