1
00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:24,360
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which

2
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:30,080
it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

3
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,720
All right, we have a couple sets of meeting minutes to approve.

4
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,940
We have the July 1 regular

5
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:44,160
meeting the

6
00:00:46,210 --> 00:00:49,230
July 1 special meeting and

7
00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:59,060
how we don't have one for July 3 all right

8
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:07,790
any changes

9
00:01:07,790 --> 00:01:15,770
or amendments to the minutes gentleman nope all right in that case I move Sharon

10
00:01:15,770 --> 00:01:21,110
time to board a test he's approved the July 1st regular meeting minutes the July did you

11
00:01:21,110 --> 00:01:26,090
make there's the joy for special meeting minutes and

12
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:32,300
the July third special

13
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:40,240
meeting minutes has presented. Second, all in favor? All right. All right.

14
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:42,790
All right.

15
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:46,670
It's not quite seven or five yet so we can go ahead and listen to residents

16
00:01:46,670 --> 00:01:52,330
comments. Anybody in the audience? Have any comments?

17
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,300
Okay. Seeing as none. When we've

18
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:01,240
along Jason, you want to give us the road department report please.

19
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:05,140
Yeah, the road report from July 2nd through the 17th.

20
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,160
We did nine tons of asphalt on wilder road.

21
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:12,840
We finished the ditch and dug out the frag mighties by the inlet to the pond

22
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,460
and that should say at the park.

23
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,240
We ditched 300 feet in the call to sack on dusty lane,

24
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:25,400
250 feet on Haasford Road, 300 feet on Mitchell's Mills,

25
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:34,220
along with cut 300 feet of high berm and we fix 300 feet of wash out at the edge of the road at the same location.

26
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:43,600
Filled two large potholes on Mitchell's Mills Road. Don is working on the backhoe, replacing the radiator, the AC condenser and two hydraulic lines.

27
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,680
Parts were just under $2,000 from kind of equipment.

28
00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:53,740
Saving this almost $1,000 versus going to the southeastern equipment for all the parts should be running by tomorrow.

29
00:02:53,740 --> 00:03:05,420
Oh, we got the ODOT SELPBID contract back for the 2026-2027 winter. The assault price this year is $55.39 a ton.

30
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:09,880
We moved the last of the filing cabinets here at Town Hall.

31
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:13,780
What was the last year's assault price?

32
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:15,260
4804.

33
00:03:17,660 --> 00:03:20,600
It did not increase like I thought it was going to be.

34
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:20,860
Yeah.

35
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:26,100
Now it did for other places, but not job accounting.

36
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:28,380
Thank you for that.

37
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:29,460
I'm very happy.

38
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,420
Everyone bought all their salt.

39
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,540
You think it'd keep the price down.

40
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,200
So maybe a little, or demand they could have jumped all the way out.

41
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,700
Yeah, I thought it was going to go up

42
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,380
words of $68, $70 a ton.

43
00:03:40,940 --> 00:03:41,680
And it didn't.

44
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,860
So we did good.

45
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:44,940
I'm going to actually probably start ordering that,

46
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,360
I don't know, next month or two.

47
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,340
Oh we moved all the filing cabinets here at Town Hall, hopefully that's the last of them.

48
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,200
I'll see if I can find a couple more for you.

49
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,100
Thank you.

50
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,100
I'd appreciate that.

51
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,980
We had...

52
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,440
I know it is.

53
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,840
We had trees fall down on Mitchell's mills just past the bridge and while the road that we

54
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,760
cleaned up and moved off the roadway and we replaced the stop sign at the bridge on Mitchell's

55
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,100
mills that was stolen.

56
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:28,220
When did I get it? I got a message on Tuesday. Someone called

57
00:04:28,220 --> 00:04:32,800
in when I was at home getting my air conditioner fixed and I called Mike and he came out

58
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,240
fixed it. And he was at the park working, so you just ran over there. Right? Right?

59
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:40,900
Thank you. You're welcome.

60
00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:46,580
Okay. Well, the time is not seven or five. I'm going to officially open this

61
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:50,540
2027 share in township tax budget public hearing.

62
00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:55,140
I have copies of the tax budget up here if anybody wishes to view.

63
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,580
There was a public copy of these made available.

64
00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:08,600
at the front desk, starting on July 3rd.

65
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,300
On the top of the chair.

66
00:05:09,580 --> 00:05:09,920
Yep, please.

67
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,380
Thank you.

68
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,620
Notable items this year, and that's

69
00:05:17,620 --> 00:05:19,500
a topic we're going to be discussing here shortly.

70
00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:25,940
We are running a little bit behind in the fire

71
00:05:25,940 --> 00:05:27,920
in EMS funding.

72
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,680
If everyone recalls back in 2024 on the heels of the Rio

73
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:40,960
of Crazel County Auditor asked us to repeal some millage on our levees, which we didn't

74
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:48,200
think we could afford to do, but what we did do was we kept the three-year newer fire

75
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,420
levee flat.

76
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:54,860
So there was no increase in the last renewal cycle.

77
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,900
That's not going to be a case going forward, we're going to discuss putting the fire levee

78
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:09,840
the ballot this evening, although it would not go into a fact until the 2027 pay 2028 tax year.

79
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:21,900
Anything else? We have a 950,000 I believe budgeted for road projects next year.

80
00:06:25,950 --> 00:06:34,970
that is well in excess of the road levy that we promised would always go completely toward road improvements.

81
00:06:35,970 --> 00:06:39,270
What hadn't been decided yet is what road will be paved.

82
00:06:40,610 --> 00:06:44,510
Other than that, things are pretty stable and solid.

83
00:06:44,770 --> 00:06:50,510
I was hoping Ed might be here to comment on it. Do you guys have any comments?

84
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,700
Any questions from the residents?

85
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:13,660
You have hot icon. There's no figures in the cemetery budget. Is that what you're saying?

86
00:07:13,740 --> 00:07:15,940
Yeah, is it not specifically budgeted?

87
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:23,610
Oh, those are some items that are not always used.

88
00:07:24,830 --> 00:07:28,610
And I know it's confusing when you read this, but it's something that I've actually

89
00:07:28,610 --> 00:07:38,250
inquired with the orders about. You cannot eliminate an account from your budget

90
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:42,950
documentation until it's all the way outside of the window. So you see here this is

91
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:48,810
a three-year look back. Until such time as those are zeros across the board we

92
00:07:48,810 --> 00:07:54,130
have to keep those items in there. So it gets a little bit confusing.

93
00:07:55,430 --> 00:08:00,090
Different fiscal officers will use different accounts.

94
00:08:01,690 --> 00:08:10,590
The fact of the matter is the cemetery fund is partially primarily funded from the general

95
00:08:10,590 --> 00:08:11,030
fund.

96
00:08:13,010 --> 00:08:14,890
It does not stand on its own.

97
00:08:14,970 --> 00:08:17,170
We have pretty low cemetery fees.

98
00:08:18,590 --> 00:08:21,390
That's probably something that we're going to discuss here as well.

99
00:08:21,390 --> 00:08:30,230
Yeah, that's why it's funny because I know we know there's a certain thing that people pay to have to buy a plot and play a man and I just didn't know if that was...

100
00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:33,590
We have not swore a whole lot of plots in the last couple of years.

101
00:08:35,730 --> 00:08:36,850
Any other further discussions?

102
00:08:41,540 --> 00:08:51,280
Okay. Well, I'm going to move that we end the public hearing on the 2027 tax budget.

103
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,360
It has already been approved.

104
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:07,560
We will instruct fiscal officer Susarski to submit this to the Judd County Budget Commission.

105
00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:10,580
It is very early as convenience.

106
00:09:12,380 --> 00:09:12,680
All right.

107
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,460
Let's move along.

108
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,700
Don, can you give us the zoning report, please?

109
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,420
Alright, since we've had some math call-wise, got one from Frank on ArborGlan, he asked

110
00:09:23,420 --> 00:09:25,360
about even if he needed it.

111
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:28,520
I can ground Booper Met as answer was yes, he's at an R2.

112
00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:32,600
Claire on Cherry Hollow asked if Lot 4 was gold a bolt.

113
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:36,680
I said yes, then I looked it out and found out it's good.

114
00:09:39,220 --> 00:09:46,420
One right behind Boalwalsh there on the corner, it has about 20 foot of access, a couple acres.

115
00:09:46,780 --> 00:09:48,480
They're all less than three acres over there.

116
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:54,740
that they got just under the picklot zoning of 1990, I think, when they created that

117
00:09:55,780 --> 00:09:56,460
development.

118
00:09:57,460 --> 00:10:03,060
Alicia and Maple Glen asked if she needed a permit to finish the accessory building interior

119
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,060
and the answer is no because she's not adding any square footage.

120
00:10:08,620 --> 00:10:15,540
I think people are used to needing permits for silly things interior-wise in other communities

121
00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:22,380
but mostly in Lake County, I think, but anyway, I did write one permit to Sarah

122
00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:28,220
Dobbins fact that 88 51 Revenor Road for a 28 by 28 foot accessory building called

123
00:10:28,220 --> 00:10:29,180
a pool house,

124
00:10:31,910 --> 00:10:36,960
mailed, you want a pool house now, don't you?

125
00:10:37,860 --> 00:10:44,620
I don't have 28 by 28 to put it, so no, I live in menor remember by your neighbor,

126
00:10:44,620 --> 00:10:46,220
It could be your backyard.

127
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:59,440
Got a letter written in mail, 30-day written to remove or repair or put in a building for vehicles out of six on Cherry Allows.

128
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,980
So I'm another month of you asking you guys if I don't get any action to write them a two-week letter.

129
00:11:06,660 --> 00:11:12,620
And our personnel are just chomping at the bit ready to go and call if needed.

130
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,120
Well, you know, we tried to avoid that at all costs, so when did you send the 30 day?

131
00:11:17,860 --> 00:11:18,280
Saturday.

132
00:11:18,780 --> 00:11:19,100
Okay.

133
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:21,460
I don't know.

134
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:21,740
I don't know.

135
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:21,780
I don't know.

136
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,560
I probably like all the others who fly right under the threshold.

137
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:31,120
Oh, the zoning commission met Monday.

138
00:11:31,540 --> 00:11:33,560
They discussed OWFBs.

139
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:34,920
Anybody?

140
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:35,320
Anybody?

141
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:36,200
Oh, we all know.

142
00:11:36,460 --> 00:11:36,640
Okay.

143
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,080
I'm going to send that to the planning commission back to them again for their looking at.

144
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:45,220
and our next meeting is scheduled for 8-3.

145
00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:49,510
All right, Don, thank you very much.

146
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:53,810
He has one in here.

147
00:11:57,940 --> 00:11:58,440
I want to read it on.

148
00:11:58,660 --> 00:11:58,860
Sure.

149
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,540
Fiscal report from Ed.

150
00:12:05,330 --> 00:12:07,890
He's focused on responding to Otter's questions

151
00:12:07,890 --> 00:12:09,370
and want to close out for this week.

152
00:12:09,890 --> 00:12:13,410
He's spoke with the bank about how to refresh bill pay.

153
00:12:13,570 --> 00:12:18,350
I guess some bill pay items at the bank closed out

154
00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:19,330
and need to be reset.

155
00:12:19,330 --> 00:12:24,710
So he's going to get back in there to pay some bills so he'll get that going and he

156
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:30,590
is going to be working with the bank to set up the automatic deposit reader for checks.

157
00:12:33,740 --> 00:12:39,820
He mentioned some things about GCTA or GTTA, dinner and checks and get them deposited and

158
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,320
that's about it.

159
00:12:42,380 --> 00:12:47,160
He attached to the report if anybody wants to view it with the funds all in here.

160
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,120
We'll print them out and put them in a pair of the minutes.

161
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:53,200
Okay, I'll print those for you in the many road in here.

162
00:12:53,780 --> 00:13:00,320
Double check in all the bank racks, still working with Metacount to monitor the Fire

163
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,380
Department's run progress.

164
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:10,360
He would like to contract with LGS for fiscal assistance with the fund coding issues for

165
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:17,700
debt-funding assistance to automate principal interest payment for accounts $39.02 and $4.10.202.

166
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:26,340
And he is working on his backup book. Then he elicited payroll and all that. I will print this out.

167
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:33,780
That's it. All right. Thank you very much, Brian. Moving on to old business, like I discussed,

168
00:13:33,780 --> 00:13:36,400
just fire levy.

169
00:13:39,820 --> 00:13:44,040
We have a three year and a five year fire levy and it just so happens

170
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:54,600
at the aspirations coincide next year. There's still being collected next year. I think

171
00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:00,300
it would be a good idea to put one of them on the ballot a year early so it's not overwhelming.

172
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,540
We'll make sure to advertise and communicate that fact to everyone.

173
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:13,400
I put together basically projections for the for 2028 through 2023 showing the shortfalls

174
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:22,380
that we're going to have between the fire and EMS, the two funds combined and the options

175
00:14:22,380 --> 00:14:31,900
that we have for additional millage, I put together 1.25 mill, 1.5 mill and 1.75 mill.

176
00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:40,380
This thoughts gentlemen and I think we're in agreement that we're going to need to put this

177
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:51,720
on the ballot. Thoughts on how you want to proceed? Yeah, I agree. I personally feel that 1.75

178
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,400
it would be the best way to go, keep us in the positive and keep things moving so we don't

179
00:14:57,300 --> 00:14:58,920
follow any deficit over the next couple of years.

180
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:16,240
I agree with this operation of the two levies as well. Let me be confusing. I might think that I don't want to risk one failing either. Oh, yes, God forbid. Okay.

181
00:15:20,250 --> 00:15:29,630
I think it's important to keep the staggered terms as well. The three year terms for the additional, for the newer levy coincides with our fire contract.

182
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,000
Also gives us a flexibility.

183
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,440
if there was something catastrophic that happened to take a look back at it.

184
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,260
If you guys are in agreement, I'm going to move.

185
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:53,000
The Shardin Township Board of Trustees resolves to submit a certificate of need to the

186
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:59,040
Jugger County Auditor's Office regarding the placement of a renewal with an increase

187
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,260
the new all of the existing one point two five mill levy first voted on in

188
00:16:07,260 --> 00:16:11,860
2021 together with an increase of one point seven five mills for a total of

189
00:16:11,860 --> 00:16:17,440
three mills to be placed on the ballot this November 3rd 2026 and we first

190
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:27,020
levy didn't tax your 2027 and collection in 2028 as submitted second all in

191
00:16:27,020 --> 00:16:29,140
favorite. Hi. Hi. We

192
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:45,920
will sign on the blue. Yeah. He's got the blue pen. I have one

193
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,500
I think. That's not signed here.

194
00:16:50,450 --> 00:16:59,450
Is that the. Yes. Okay. Blue's are. Okay. So I made

195
00:16:59,450 --> 00:17:01,310
the motion and

196
00:17:03,740 --> 00:17:05,540
Brian's second. Ed

197
00:17:23,430 --> 00:17:24,790
sign that as well.

198
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,560
Thank you.

199
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,860
All right. Still under

200
00:17:37,860 --> 00:17:40,320
your old business township park walking path.

201
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:45,100
So Tuesday, the commissioners finally voted in

202
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:48,160
and we are getting the walking path grant,

203
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:49,460
the community block grant.

204
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:52,120
So that should be moving forward here shortly.

205
00:17:53,060 --> 00:17:54,640
I believe over the next couple of weeks,

206
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,600
they'll be going out to bid.

207
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,340
And hopefully in around, I'm hoping August,

208
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:00,720
we'll see some paving.

209
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,220
Be taking place out there.

210
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,760
So that's goodness for sure.

211
00:18:05,180 --> 00:18:06,720
We do a little bit in the right place.

212
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,660
What's up? Who does all the who sends out all the building things? They do it all.

213
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:22,060
Would you say what? I just wanted to thank individually for kind of picking up the ball on that getting those bid specs written and put together on time and

214
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:27,080
I don't think it would have happened without you. So thank you very much. Yeah, no worries

215
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,880
It was definitely a team effort, so thank you guys too. Yeah, just remind us just under about a hundred thousand dollars

216
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,160
That's the pay of a trail at the park to make it ADA accessible.

217
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:43,400
So I really want to thank the commissioners as well for making that a priority this year for their community block grants.

218
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,540
Absolutely, thank you.

219
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:53,440
Okay, 89.74, we're going to road our favorite condemned home.

220
00:18:53,440 --> 00:19:09,780
Can we proceed with another letter stating our intention to demolish the house and put said demolition costs on the tax duplicate?

221
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:20,180
And suggested you pick below us better in case of future?

222
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:31,400
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to create any undue burden, um, this person doesn't need to

223
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:31,780
have.

224
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:38,020
Is there a, I'm not familiar with the flow chart I gave you really, but do you have to

225
00:19:38,020 --> 00:19:42,100
have a public hearing to give the owner a chance to come speak publicly?

226
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:43,500
There is a public hearing.

227
00:19:43,980 --> 00:19:45,880
There is one schedule or something.

228
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:49,680
Well, the schedule that, yeah, that's the one thing I think you might have.

229
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,560
The only thing that you didn't mention is that you need to do to close this up.

230
00:19:55,980 --> 00:20:00,480
So we just got to schedule up a public hearing and a draft a letter censorified to them,

231
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:08,940
to Michelle, property owner, notifying them of our intent to demolish the house and the

232
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:13,500
fact that we're going to be having a public hearing, when should we schedule a public hearing.

233
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,360
Secondary of August, what do you have before or are we going to do it?

234
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:21,080
I

235
00:20:24,980 --> 00:20:31,800
don't think there's any time that I'm going to do it next meeting.

236
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,380
You're going to take about a week or something, mail it maybe?

237
00:20:37,220 --> 00:20:38,480
First meeting in September.

238
00:20:40,850 --> 00:20:41,470
During the regular meeting?

239
00:20:42,050 --> 00:20:42,250
Yeah.

240
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,020
Wednesday September 2nd.

241
00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:50,520
You wanted it, would you rather do first meeting of August?

242
00:20:52,340 --> 00:20:54,140
Oh, I'm sorry, that's coming up.

243
00:20:54,380 --> 00:20:55,100
Well, that's three weeks.

244
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,540
This way we'll have some time before winter,

245
00:21:01,050 --> 00:21:02,030
before the weather starts.

246
00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:10,250
Just watch around, we'll see next meeting will be August 5th, that's 1-2-3 weeks.

247
00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:19,070
All right, we've got to draft the letter, get it censored if I send a copy to the utter's office and the prosecutor's office.

248
00:21:22,860 --> 00:21:24,500
Why don't we split the difference,

249
00:21:27,180 --> 00:21:28,460
maybe the August 19th meeting?

250
00:21:28,460 --> 00:21:29,020
Okay.

251
00:21:29,620 --> 00:21:33,360
I want to give them plenty of time to get the letter.

252
00:21:35,620 --> 00:21:42,080
All right, August 19th, it's 715 and

253
00:21:44,540 --> 00:21:45,620
you want to do 705 again.

254
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,080
I guess if we do like

255
00:21:49,580 --> 00:21:53,220
715, it'll give us a chance to get through comments and reports.

256
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:54,140
Okay.

257
00:21:54,220 --> 00:21:56,500
Well, actually, they won't be there.

258
00:21:57,180 --> 00:21:57,480
What's that?

259
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,680
They might not be there.

260
00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:00,200
The department heads of that.

261
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:02,520
Yeah, well, that's coming up.

262
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,640
Yeah, that's coming up. Oh, you want to do first meeting then?

263
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,820
Yeah, probably will be a good idea. Well, then let's just do the first meeting in September.

264
00:22:15,180 --> 00:22:18,940
I mean, unless you may need 10 days to advertise for that public hearing.

265
00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:26,260
Like a normal, not a normal amount of time through any kind of meeting slash hearing.

266
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,920
Yeah, you'll have that in three weeks. I'm not saying you have to change anything.

267
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,280
We can do that and just, you know, we're probably have to put that bit back out the bit.

268
00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:42,320
So it's going to be, we're probably have to allow that to go for a couple of weeks.

269
00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:48,660
I don't want you to be looking at November for a turn down and I think maybe it's just

270
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:49,120
plenty of notice.

271
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:50,720
She doesn't want any of our email.

272
00:22:50,860 --> 00:22:51,720
Anyway, but she gets.

273
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:53,080
All right.

274
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:59,040
Public meeting, public hearing regarding the House of 89.74 August

275
00:23:01,790 --> 00:23:03,510
5th at 7.50.

276
00:23:14,650 --> 00:23:15,530
So it's said,

277
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,240
speaking of which, going into new business, then meeting requirements for heads of departments.

278
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:29,140
So I would like to make the suggestion to have the department heads only attend one meeting a month.

279
00:23:29,420 --> 00:23:35,980
Kind of give them more time at home, be able to be with their families, give them the opportunity to come the first meeting a month, give their report,

280
00:23:36,580 --> 00:23:43,020
do their thing and allow for the rest of the months to kind of be there, especially in the winter season when you guys are really moving along.

281
00:23:43,020 --> 00:23:47,480
You're not, you know, having to come in stay late come back early so on and so forth

282
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,640
So I think it was just kind of health, you know in our efforts to try to

283
00:23:51,260 --> 00:23:53,860
expedite some of these meetings kind of cut down on

284
00:23:54,860 --> 00:23:55,120
a

285
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,700
lot of it and just kind of

286
00:23:57,700 --> 00:23:59,620
Keep the flow moving a little bit quicker

287
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,420
What do you guys think about that? I'm in favor. You like that, okay?

288
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:06,200
Don

289
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,900
To me, I only have to come to one meeting a month. That's it

290
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,520
So we only took us 40 years to get it, but we finally got it for you.

291
00:24:18,740 --> 00:24:19,660
Thanks, I guess.

292
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,160
Just a question.

293
00:24:21,300 --> 00:24:23,740
The expectation, though, there's always going to be the first meeting.

294
00:24:23,860 --> 00:24:24,140
It's not.

295
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,960
Yeah, I think it would be good to do the first meeting of the month's big meeting where we do

296
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,620
all department heads, you know, trustees reports, you know, the full deal.

297
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:37,680
Second meeting could be a much more expedited meeting with just the trustees, fiscal,

298
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:48,240
I mean, I know it wouldn't be, we wouldn't be the first people to do that, right?

299
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:55,770
And obviously if there's an important matter that I need to be there, I can get to the

300
00:24:55,770 --> 00:24:56,390
second meeting.

301
00:24:57,030 --> 00:24:57,190
Sure.

302
00:24:57,490 --> 00:24:58,870
Yeah, pending there's no major issue.

303
00:24:59,050 --> 00:24:59,730
It's snowing.

304
00:24:59,870 --> 00:25:00,150
I'm not coming.

305
00:25:00,930 --> 00:25:01,230
Yeah.

306
00:25:01,670 --> 00:25:02,450
We'll tell the snow.

307
00:25:02,890 --> 00:25:04,290
But please do.

308
00:25:06,540 --> 00:25:07,220
We can touch.

309
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:08,460
Jacob.

310
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,380
Third favorite?

311
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:18,660
All right, going forward, the first meeting of each month will include all department heads.

312
00:25:19,380 --> 00:25:23,380
Second meeting of the month will be just the electives and...

313
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:28,560
When does this start? August 1st.

314
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,880
So you're going to hear three meetings left, man.

315
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,020
Hold on, let me clear your schedule a little bit there.

316
00:25:40,260 --> 00:25:41,380
Maybe, I'll need to.

317
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,520
All right, I like that idea.

318
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,560
All right, updates of the record retention schedule.

319
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:54,740
So the work with ADP Archive Department, they took all our records.

320
00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,600
They're going through everything. And as we go through things, we're trying to update and modernize our record retention schedule.

321
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:06,500
Currently the last one was done, I would say probably, excuse me, late 90s.

322
00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:12,860
So it has a lot on it about paper records and so on and so forth.

323
00:26:13,140 --> 00:26:19,100
So this will kind of guess up to the day and age where we can retain digital or paper

324
00:26:19,820 --> 00:26:25,360
and set the retention timelines and so on and so forth to kind of help out with moving

325
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:28,960
towards the 21st century here and digitizing a lot of the stuff that we have.

326
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,160
This is something I said you guys all draft of what we had.

327
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:46,500
But it's still work in progress once we all agree upon the record retention schedule including fiscal and you know wrote everybody on the department zoning and all that stuff and we're all good with the timeline.

328
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:59,080
Working with the archive division they will help us finalize it, send it off to the state archives for approval and then to the stage for final approval and should be good to go.

329
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:05,160
So we're looking at around once we get everything submitted approximately six to nine months until approval

330
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:11,040
And then we'll at that point we'll be able to kind of get things move along and figure out whether you want to keep digital records

331
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:18,960
Paper records, but it will allow us a lot more flexibility and safe space now that Jason stole our file cabinets

332
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,180
We'll have some room to I'll gladly give them back

333
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,720
No, we don't want them

334
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,540
It will just, you know, it makes for a much easier transition.

335
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,160
On that note, are we allowed to sell those by any chance?

336
00:27:32,460 --> 00:27:36,560
I believe we need to declare them a surplus, and then we can go through, so we have to

337
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,180
get a full inventory.

338
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:42,760
When we aim on the August 1st meeting, in fact, get a surplus list ready, and then we can

339
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,800
imagine, go ahead and sell after we declare it, right?

340
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,080
What are you going to need for that final cabinet quantity?

341
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,480
Yeah, we'll work on it. We'll make a spreadsheet. All right.

342
00:27:53,860 --> 00:27:55,220
Lane, the management, all that stuff.

343
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,720
And he's these scheduled were largely based on state recommendations, right?

344
00:28:00,060 --> 00:28:02,940
Correct. So the new the new record retention schedule I

345
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,020
use the template from the state, which was given to me by the county.

346
00:28:08,540 --> 00:28:12,720
And we're using their recommendations for

347
00:28:13,580 --> 00:28:15,920
timelines and types of records.

348
00:28:16,940 --> 00:28:25,800
Now they're also going to look to adhere to that schedule and get rid of records that

349
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,240
we don't need to keep anymore.

350
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,880
Is that part of it, or is it just updating it?

351
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,300
Oh, you're saying with the archive process?

352
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,840
So the archive process, how that's working, is they've currently started going through every

353
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,760
box of files.

354
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:41,760
They go through everything, page by page, literally every document is in there, they're going to page

355
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,280
page by page, scanning and updating it, make sure it falls in with whatever record retention.

356
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,160
It's set to be, and once it's compliant, they'll scan it in.

357
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:59,040
When it's complete in our record retention schedule is set, digital will be the option

358
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:04,780
that we choose, digital or paper, but most likely digital, will be what we choose and will have

359
00:29:04,780 --> 00:29:06,920
a second share drive for those records.

360
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:15,560
upon completion of the process and everything's done and scanned, at that point, and the record

361
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:21,420
retention is accepted, the schedule is accepted. At that point, we will destroy all of the

362
00:29:21,420 --> 00:29:26,240
old records, and they will issue us a certification of construction. And then we'll be able to file

363
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,840
that and be in compliance. And then moving forward with new records that we have, and we create

364
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:36,540
a township, we'll be able to kind of keep them a little bit more updated in-house and modernized.

365
00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:39,020
So, and then we'll be able to destroy the paper from this.

366
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:43,960
It also gives us guidelines on how to fulfill public records requests

367
00:29:44,740 --> 00:29:47,180
and what our proper public records request.

368
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:48,380
So, that's very important.

369
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,140
Wow. Thanks for the time.

370
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:51,860
Yeah.

371
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,820
I know that's not just a couple of minutes.

372
00:29:58,420 --> 00:29:58,860
Okay.

373
00:30:00,050 --> 00:30:09,210
Moving along, I have no correspondence for this meeting. Is there any other public comment?

374
00:30:16,410 --> 00:30:25,710
As part of the update to the ADP security and IT services, we moved from our old vendor that

375
00:30:25,710 --> 00:30:31,150
And our opinion was not going to be compliant with the new service peer laws.

376
00:30:31,470 --> 00:30:39,730
We contracted with ADP and they have a pretty good lockdown on all of our emails.

377
00:30:40,370 --> 00:30:47,050
As a matter of fact, I'm still trying to remind myself to look and spam for some things.

378
00:30:47,050 --> 00:30:52,030
They really have a pretty tight grip on it.

379
00:30:52,030 --> 00:31:00,390
So, yeah, all of those disclaimers that you see on there, that's they're doing.

380
00:31:00,730 --> 00:31:06,310
Tina, were you referring to the email address info at chartandtownship.gov?

381
00:31:06,610 --> 00:31:07,170
Is that what you were...

382
00:31:07,170 --> 00:31:09,730
Yeah, you guys have been discussing it several meetings there.

383
00:31:09,730 --> 00:31:10,030
Correct.

384
00:31:12,030 --> 00:31:19,110
We created some folders that will be a little bit more convenient to get information streamlined.

385
00:31:19,110 --> 00:31:25,130
So what we did is working with ADP, they were able to set up distribution folders for us.

386
00:31:25,630 --> 00:31:31,450
So now if you know the public has information they want to ask about or a question

387
00:31:31,450 --> 00:31:35,670
rather than going to one person specifically and not getting a quick answer.

388
00:31:36,250 --> 00:31:39,370
If they go to this info at shardantownship.gov,

389
00:31:39,710 --> 00:31:43,710
it allows it to communicate the message to anyone we decide to put in the folder.

390
00:31:43,870 --> 00:31:46,210
Currently that is set up with all of us in it.

391
00:31:46,210 --> 00:31:51,990
So, whoever gets that request or that question, we can answer a little bit quicker and streamline

392
00:31:51,990 --> 00:31:52,590
the process.

393
00:31:52,950 --> 00:31:55,130
So, our residents are waiting for response.

394
00:31:56,430 --> 00:31:59,770
That's just basically a new email address, really.

395
00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:05,670
Any other red-inch comments?

396
00:32:07,190 --> 00:32:08,130
Anything else, gentlemen?

397
00:32:09,230 --> 00:32:09,590
I'm good.

398
00:32:10,810 --> 00:32:11,990
All right, time's 732.

399
00:32:12,150 --> 00:32:12,810
I'm going to be adjourned.

400
00:32:13,690 --> 00:32:13,950
Second.

401
00:32:14,410 --> 00:32:14,850
All in favor?

402
00:32:15,270 --> 00:32:15,390
All right.

403
00:32:15,530 --> 00:32:15,670
High.

404
00:32:17,470 --> 00:32:18,350
Thank you, everyone.

405
00:32:18,350 --> 00:32:18,490
one.

406
00:32:18,830 --> 00:32:19,270
That's

407
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:25,640
what we do.
