Consumer
[6:27]
water.
Hello.
[6:35]
Consumer water portal. Let's jump in.
Your consumer water portal is broken
[6:40]
down into three main seashboard,
[6:45]
consumption, usage, and alerts. When you
log in, you will be directed to your
[6:50]
dashboard. The dashboard provides an
overview of the aggregate consumption
[6:54]
for your account for the last 30 days.
The dashboard is divided into three
[6:59]
areas: information cards, usage history,
and alerts. The information cards area
[7:06]
includes the account number, account
address, the 30-day average daily usage,
[7:11]
which is useful as a benchmark for your
average consumption, and alerts, which
[7:16]
allows you to quickly view the alerts
you have enabled. We will cover alerts
[7:20]
in more detail later. Next, we have
usage history. This allows you to
[7:25]
quickly view your consumption patterns
for the last 30 days. The 30-day average
[7:30]
daily usage is displayed on the graph as
a ben
[24:19]
style that we will be installing in inst
got loud installing at the uh township
[24:25]
lift stations. Um the chopper pump
technology uh will help to grind up a
[24:30]
lot of the flushable wipes and other
things that come down into the sewer and
[24:35]
uh we believe it's going to help kind of
improve the uh life of these pumps at
[24:39]
the station by not having so much of the
flushable materials there or non
[24:42]
flushable material. Questions from the
board?
[24:47]
Seeing none, I have a motion by trustee
Joseph supported by Trusty Anderson to
[24:51]
approve item 10D. If you would please
cast your vote.
[24:55]
results will appear.
[25:04]
Item passes 6.
[25:08]
Item 10E.
Approve a recommendation by the
[25:12]
Chesterfield Township Water, Sewer, and
GLWA Commission to approve amendment
[25:17]
number four to the Water Service
contract between the Great Lakes Water
[25:21]
Authority and the Charter Township of
Chesterfield and authorize its
[25:25]
execution.
>> Is there a motion to approve?
[25:31]
» Trusty Vossberg.
Any support.
[25:36]
Trusty Joseph
[25:41]
Paul. Uh this is to renew the contract
to Great Lakes Water Authority. Um the
[25:46]
original contract was signed back in
2018.
[25:50]
Um [clears throat] that's every four
years we update this contract. Uh
[25:54]
there's no rate changes associated with
this contract. This one here is to um
[25:58]
this updates a lot of the language and
also uh with this contract we will be
[26:03]
reducing our max day flow. um
[clears throat] down to 7.87
[26:08]
uh MGDs and we'll decrease our peak hour
flow from 12.5 MGDs to 11.9. Um Gleewell
[26:15]
has used a new feature on how they um
produce these numbers and so that's why
[26:19]
we see the reduction. Uh this aligns
more closely to what we typically would
[26:23]
see in our township. Um for the record,
we have not ex we haven't exceeded um
[26:28]
these two figures, so we don't have any
concern with exceedence in the future.
[26:33]
Questions from the board?
[26:37]
Seeing none, I have a motion by trustee
Vosberg, supported by Trustee Joseph, to
[26:41]
approve item 10E. If you would please
cast your vote.
[26:46]
Results will appear when all votes are
cast.
[26:53]
Item passes 6.
Item 10 F. Approve a recommendation by
[26:59]
the Department of Public Services to
complete a water system master plan and
[27:05]
AWI
R and ERP update by utilizing the
[27:10]
engineering services of OM advisors at a
total cost of $98,300.
[27:17]
Further amend the budget to increase GL
account 591-441-821.0000
[27:25]
0000 by $78,300
for engineering fees.
[27:30]
» Is there a motion to approve? Supervisor
Curtson will make a motion to approve.
[27:34]
Is there any support?
[27:38]
» Is that Trusty Hornberger? Paul, go
ahead again.
[27:43]
Um, [clears throat]
this is a federal requirement by the
[27:46]
America's America's Water Infrastructure
Act that was signed in October 23rd,
[27:50]
2018. Um this act requires not just the
um resist resilience assessment uh but
[27:57]
also emergency response plan to be
updated every 5 years. Um the water
[28:00]
system master plan that we'll be doing
will incorporate the township's
[28:03]
reliability study, general plan and
asset management plan. Uh this will help
[28:07]
to plan for future water projects and
also to help uh meet the federal
[28:12]
requirement of making sure we have our
emergency response plan and risk and
[28:15]
resilience assessment done which is
requirement for every five years.
[28:21]
questions from the board. Chie Vosper.
>> Thank you, Mr. Supervisor. Um, I support
[28:27]
the concept of this wondering why the
dollar amount is so up for the uh budget
[28:32]
amendment is so high compared to the
originally budgeted amount.
[28:38]
» Um, I originally the the thought was we
could complete this in 27. Um, but
[28:43]
[clears throat] we got the update from
uh EPA that they wanted it completed in
[28:48]
this year. Um we have a sanitary sewer
master um sanitary sewer survey that
[28:53]
will be completed by Eagle next year.
We're going to try to do it all
[28:56]
together, but we did find um in speaking
with the EPA, they would like this done
[29:00]
this year.
>> Okay. So, are there are there carryovers
[29:03]
from this study that can be used in next
year's the other study?
[29:07]
» Um the study next year will be it's more
of a sur um it's a survey. The state
[29:10]
will come in next year and kind of go
through our whole system uh to make sure
[29:14]
that we are compliant with everything.
And so this will be one of those
[29:16]
compliance factors we have to have done.
>> Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Mr.
[29:20]
Supervisor.
>> Any further trustee Anderson?
[29:24]
» Yeah. Any duration of the time that this
um
[29:28]
this this company will be um is that
over the four years that they'll be
[29:33]
working on this or perusing this?
>> Uh this will be well this will meet the
[29:38]
requirements to have it completed by the
end of 26.
[29:45]
Seeing no further questions, I have a
motion by Supervisor Kirsten, supported
[29:49]
by Trustee Hornberger to approve item
10F. You would cast your vote.
[29:55]
Results will appear once all votes are
cast.
[30:03]
Item passes 6.
Item 10 G.
[30:08]
» 10G. approve a recommendation by the
finance department to make quarter 2
[30:12]
amendments to the 2026 budget.
>> Supervisor Crystal will make a motion to
[30:17]
approve.
Is there any support?
[30:22]
» Trusty Osberg.
Uh
[30:26]
» Arberg, I'm sorry. My apologies. Um I
did not have anybody from finance appear
[30:31]
tonight. If you look in your pack, it's
pretty straightforward and minimal. um
[30:34]
public safety and then um the the
amounts were minimal. Um so it's pretty
[30:40]
self-explanatory
in the package as to the reasons why the
[30:44]
amendments are required. I thought so.
Um any questions, discussion?
[30:54]
Seeing none, I have a motion by
Supervisor Kirsten supported by Trustee
[30:57]
Hornberger to approve item 10G.
If you would cast your vote,
[31:06]
results will appear when all votes are
cast.
[31:12]
Item passes 5 to one. Item 10H.
[31:18]
10H, approval of the revised
administrative procedure order,
[31:22]
APO13-209,
[31:26]
education, training, and travel.
Is there a motion to approve?
[31:31]
» So move.
>> Trusty Joseph. Supervisor Kirsten will
[31:35]
support. Uh again, this is u this APO is
actually came recommended uh one of the
[31:42]
package uh policies from Woodhill Group.
Um we've made some changes and some
[31:48]
corrections in it. Uh pretty again
pretty straightforward as you see the
[31:52]
version and it puts us consistent with
uh current practice and policy right now
[31:58]
within uh our finance department.
Karen, go ahead. Sorry, didn't see you
[32:03]
there.
>> I don't have much to add. Um just that
[32:06]
you know these recommendations came
straight from Woodhill,
[32:10]
» but I'm here for any questions or
concerns.
[32:18]
A motion by Supervisor K or Trusty
Joseph, supported by Supervisor Kirsten
[32:22]
to approve item 10H. If you would please
cast your vote.
[32:28]
Results will appear once all votes are
cast.
[32:33]
Item passes 6.
[32:37]
Um item 10 I
>> 10 I approve the revised administrative
[32:43]
procedure order APO 11-209
purchasing policy as presented with an
[32:48]
effective modified date of August 25th
2026.
[32:54]
» Is there a motion to approve? Supervisor
Curt will make a motion to approve. Is
[32:58]
there any support?
>> I missed that again. Trusty Hornberger
[33:04]
support. Uh, go ahead, Karen.
>> Um, the main, uh, change on this
[33:10]
purchasing policy is from the 5,000 to
the 10,000. Um, we did try a few years
[33:15]
back to change it. Back then, it was,
um, going to be from 5,000 to 15,000. We
[33:21]
thought that that was maybe a little too
much. So, we came back um, and are
[33:26]
moving it from 5 to 10.
>> Questions from the board? Trusty Joseph.
[33:33]
the uh 5,000 really does create a number
of problems uh for the department heads
[33:39]
um with the cost of really any project.
And um one of the speakers that got up
[33:46]
and spoke to this earlier um it's not as
if the existing policy doesn't care
[33:53]
about expenditures under $5,000. They're
all accounted for. Uh that will be the
[34:00]
policy as the limits are expanded. Uh
any amount is accounted for um in in the
[34:08]
bill runs and reconciliation
for all expenditures is available. uh
[34:15]
this will just uh increase um the limit
um allowing department heads to you know
[34:23]
really function without having to come
to the board for every uh transaction
[34:28]
over 5,000 and I think um the committee
that looked at this um I appreciate the
[34:35]
uh kind of middle middle ground uh from
the original proposal of 15 um this
[34:40]
gives functionality and um some ability
for for the department heads to operate
[34:46]
um without concerns about you know
excessive spending. So uh this is a good
[34:53]
balance and I appreciate the
presentation. Thank you.
[34:56]
» Uh Trusty Bossford.
>> Thank you Mr. Supervisor. I also um
[35:03]
you know approve of this. I think it's
it's time we did what is the last time
[35:07]
that it was changed and what was it from
3000 or something? Yeah, it's it's been
[35:14]
10 plus years since it's been changed
and yeah, it was originally I think
[35:18]
3,000.
>> Yeah, it was all right. Um it's Yeah,
[35:21]
it's time to move it up. And it's really
the budget that drives the spending of
[35:26]
if we're looking at um some of the
suggestions that were made by the
[35:32]
Woodhill Group and others about our
budget. That's that's really what drives
[35:35]
how we spend. So it's this will just I
think help the department heads to get
[35:40]
the work done in a more um timely manner
instead of waiting for our meetings.
[35:45]
Thank you.
>> Agreed. It's more of a guide based on
[35:48]
the budget
treasure.
[35:54]
Um I know that Steve Adair when he did
look at um this purchasing policy did
[35:59]
raise an eyebrow you know and said he
can't imagine how it was that uh the
[36:03]
department heads were functioning um
with that kind of limit because it does
[36:07]
just make everything has gone up in
price and um I believe he said there was
[36:13]
a u reference he did make a reference to
the 10,000 being pretty standard um and
[36:19]
then everything that um does come
through um the the department heads have
[36:25]
have a entire process that we have to go
through and as Trusty Joseph did point
[36:29]
out and all of that does come to the
bill run and does have to come before
[36:33]
the board. So this is just um guidance.
>> Thank you
[36:40]
Trusty Anderson.
>> Okay. I recall when it was three grand
[36:44]
uh without approval then went up to five
and I understand I recall what you said
[36:47]
about trying to go to 15. Um I
understand a hardship as is explained
[36:53]
here but at the same time I could see a
intermediate step somewhere between five
[36:58]
and 10 instead of automatically going to
10 and see what happens. You know we got
[37:02]
good people here but still um I think
with our finances [snorts]
[37:06]
there has to be I I'm not comfortable
with um going to the 10 grand at this
[37:11]
time and I know we already we had that
discussion. I appreciate it but right
[37:14]
now I'm a no on it for that. Thank you.
Any further questions from the board?
[37:23]
I have a motion by Supervisor Kirsten,
supported by Trusty Hornberg, to approve
[37:27]
item 10. I If you would please cast your
vote.
[37:31]
Results will appear once all votes are
cast. Thank you, Karen. Item passes 5 to
[37:36]
one.
Um item 11, addendums, there are none.
[37:42]
Uh item 12, public comments.
Public comments. There is three minute
[37:48]
time limit. If you would please state
your name, not required.
[37:57]
» Hi, my name's Don Rio and did you need
my address? It's 52455 and
[38:04]
» Oh, okay. Um, so today I'm here. Good
evening, by the way. And um I'm here
[38:09]
with some gratitude. Um, but I I needed
to back up and and tell you um how it
[38:16]
didn't start out that way. Um, I'm here
about the um uh our cord our code
[38:23]
enforcements for camper parking in the
streets and um
[38:30]
um it seems like for a couple years they
haven't been enforced [snorts]
[38:34]
and I'm on the board in an HOA. I'm the
vice president and so um and I know you
[38:40]
guys don't have any much to do with that
but my job is to enforce our
[38:46]
restrictions and we had campers parking
in the driveway which was a restriction
[38:53]
and we had to enforce it. So in order to
go around our restrictions we've had
[38:58]
people park in the streets and actually
keep them there for three days on
[39:01]
blocks. And so, um, starting in like
2004
[39:07]
when I would call, we we we couldn't
make them move it because the street
[39:13]
isn't our responsibility. So, I I would
call our code enforcement and they would
[39:18]
tell me it's not their job and we call
the police and I would So, I'd call the
[39:23]
police and the police would tell me it's
not their job to call you and then we
[39:29]
would call again. I think I spoke to Tom
and then he would tell me to call the
[39:34]
police and it wasn't getting done and we
were having all these problems and it
[39:38]
it's a safety hazard, right? We have
children riding bikes, we have
[39:43]
kids on scooters, we have go um golf
carts and um nothing was getting done.
[39:50]
So finally when I was at my wits end
I finally got a hold of David and said
[39:56]
please tell me what to do. I thought I
was going through the right channels
[40:00]
here. Um I looked up our restrictions,
you know, our code and our code says
[40:06]
that they are not allowed to be parked
in the street and um so David ended up
[40:13]
taking care of it for me, but it took me
to have to bother and call a trustee to
[40:19]
get it taken care of. So I appreciate
that it did get taken care of. Um,
[40:26]
but it is there any advice here? I mean,
am I doing do I call the township or do
[40:33]
I call the police? Can somebody answer
that for me so I don't have to keep
[40:37]
going through this?
>> There there's a nuance in the ordinance
[40:41]
in the law. Um, we'll work with you. We
have no problem working with you. I'm
[40:46]
going to direct you to that gentleman
right there in the white shirt from the
[40:49]
police department.
>> Okay. One of if a trailer or camper is
[40:52]
parked in the street unattached to a
vehicle and it's legally
[40:56]
» it's legally licensed and plated, it's
kind of difficult. Our ordinance doesn't
[41:00]
take effect uh until it hits private
property and driveways. Then the code
[41:05]
enforcement would get involved. Um your
your what subdivision? What? Never mind.
[41:11]
» Um your subdivision is just like mine.
Uh we have the same issues. So trying to
[41:16]
understand it and work through it.
There's there's a diversion in in the
[41:19]
law. Motor vehicle code for streets and
roadways and then code enforcement for
[41:24]
private properties and anything over the
curb and in the sidewalk. So, we'd have
[41:28]
to know those nuances. What I would tell
you is don't stop calling. You can call
[41:32]
code enforcement. We'll work through it.
We'll get your address tonight. We'll
[41:35]
make sure that they know, but I'm going
to direct you to the gentleman in the
[41:38]
white shirt, the police chief, who can
address specifically um the motor
[41:42]
vehicle code and how that applies to
campers and trailers. And the nuance is
[41:46]
um is it hooked to a motor vehicle? The
camper or the trailer? Is it a lawnmower
[41:51]
trailer? Is it a a business trailer?
[42:04]
If that's the street
>> on blocks
[42:07]
» on blocks then we have
>> okay I even sent pictures to show that
[42:13]
it wasn't even attached to a vehicle. It
sat there for 3 days.
[42:17]
» So and I just think it's a safety issue
too with the children. Um
[42:22]
so that was my issue.
>> Okay.
[42:28]
» Okay. I really do appreciate that and
thank you David for helping me with
[42:32]
that. So, thank you very much.
>> Thank you.
[42:51]
Hey, just uh wanted to say um so during
um the constant cleanups I've been doing
[42:56]
uh the one thing I wanted to point out
is um it's partly in the public areas
[43:02]
but also on private properties as well.
um a problem that's kind of gone un uh
[43:09]
noticed at least for um some people I
guess at least I want to say probably
[43:13]
the property owners but uh something I
wish the township would kind of like
[43:18]
put out a message properly for them is
on these properties a lot of the drains
[43:26]
get clogged up and when I mean clogged
up I mean I I can tell because I have
[43:30]
over a decade in civil engineering
experience this stuff is months
[43:35]
without any cleaning. And you know, if
anybody doesn't have a goldfish memory,
[43:41]
three years ago, we had major flooding
in the community. And so, uh, the most
[43:44]
important aspect of landscaping is
drainage. And when you're designing
[43:49]
stuff as an engineer, like that that is
like the biggest thing you have to
[43:52]
account for is where does the water go?
Where does your runoff go? And if these
[43:59]
are all clogged up and it's not the
entire township, but there are certain
[44:03]
choke points where they get clogged up
and nobody's taking care of it, nobody's
[44:07]
maintaining it. And I think a a good
gentle reminder to everybody in the
[44:12]
community of hey, if you you know, if
it's not just leaves, but there's trash.
[44:18]
It's an accumulation of effects. It's a
if if I see an entire bug colony when I
[44:25]
pull that stuff out, I'm like, "Okay,
yeah, this this has been here a while."
[44:29]
And if this if the township can make
that an address sort of, hey, clean
[44:35]
these out now and then you don't have to
worry about any flooding in the future,
[44:40]
it makes a big difference down the line.
This is the this is the notation of
[44:44]
proper maintenance, proper adherence
toward what we regularly do can prevent
[44:50]
anything major in the future because
oftent times a lot of disasters or a lot
[44:55]
of problems communities face come from
the breakdown of not maintaining current
[45:00]
infrastructure um as it should be. And
just simple maintenance like that, like
[45:08]
a general reminder to business owners,
to people, people's properties, or for
[45:13]
the public in general, keep these areas
clean. We'll have no problems. Thank
[45:17]
you. [snorts]
[45:27]
» I just thought about this one. I don't
know what happened to Eagle's Nest where
[45:31]
the military house used to be. Seville
Manners. I used to live there. But on
[45:34]
Cyclon, I was coming home from the gym
the other morning. There's Eagle's back
[45:39]
in those woods now. So, somebody follow
up on this one. I don't know who to call
[45:44]
and letting you know. Thank you.
[45:54]
I kind of want to just Jeez Louise.
Oh, Lord have mercy.
[46:00]
Oh my god. I'm not yelling. I swear. Um
I just wanted to follow up with what
[46:06]
Mike said. Um I don't know if it's
homeowners that are taking the
[46:09]
initiative to do this, but on Kilowald,
um kudos to them for cleaning out and
[46:15]
replacing their um their culverts and
tearing down all that shrubbery and
[46:20]
trees, overgrown trees that were
blocking the curve right outside of my
[46:24]
street on Roselon. Um it looks beautiful
over there. I'm sure drainage will be
[46:29]
fantastic over there for the walkers on
the sidewalk. So, just want to say
[46:33]
thanks for that.
>> Any more comments from the public? Any
[46:38]
more comments from the public? Trusty
Hornberger, start with you tonight.

» Thank you, Mr. Supervisor. Uh just
wanted to echo the uh congratulations
[47:08]
for the fire department. Um that
accreditation process was something that
[47:14]
um we got the uh presentation on it
seems like uh 3 four years ago that uh
[47:20]
they've been working and preparing. uh
massive undertaking and uh appreciate uh
[47:26]
supervisor's focus on um having our
department's uh answer to a national
[47:33]
standard. Uh started under your
leadership in the police department um
[47:38]
extended now to our public safety um
partner over in the fire and uh we're
[47:44]
working as you mentioned earlier uh with
water department. So, um these are good,
[47:49]
uh best practices and um very very
efficient um and the um the township
[47:57]
residents are better for uh for it. So,
uh congratulations to the fire
[48:02]
department and uh thanks for all your
hard work. Um, Miss Rio, I'm glad that
[48:06]
you came uh because uh we've been
messaging and um the ordinance that you
[48:14]
reference is very difficult because um
for a couple weeks in a row, a couple
[48:19]
board meetings in a row, we had
residents who um have campers and they
[48:24]
came forward and they were frustrated
because code enforcement had sent out um
[48:30]
dozens of letters uh to RV and boat
owners who had parked park their um
[48:37]
vehicles uh recreational vehicles,
trailers, so forth uh in their driveway
[48:42]
in the front. Your situation has been uh
nightmarish in terms of um I I think
[48:49]
it's fairly isolated to one particular
individual who's uh really flagrant
[48:56]
about um his vehicle and it's a rather
large uh trailer. Um it's not the same
[49:04]
as some of the concerns that we have
have heard from other residents who have
[49:10]
a trailer or a boat and they say um you
know it takes me a little time to to
[49:15]
pack it or unpack it after a trip. This
situation is dramatically different and
[49:22]
um I appreciate all the work that you've
done within your uh community. your HOA
[49:28]
board has met and um you you really
tried to resolve it internally and when
[49:34]
it was um you know this particular
resident who was pushing to the limit
[49:40]
and you needed help um it got a little
confusing because as the supervisor
[49:45]
mentioned um the the right of way and
legally parked vehicles in the street
[49:52]
fall under one jurisdiction
um code enforcement is an is another um
[49:57]
but uh I'm always willing to help you
out and uh any resident who's frustrated
[50:03]
with these types of situations and um
the supervisor mentioned director
[50:09]
Basset, that's my go-to person as well.
Uh his his team, his administrative
[50:15]
team, Captain McNair, um Gary De
Masters, who's no longer here, uh was
[50:20]
our department head that oversees code
enforcement. It's a tricky issue. Uh but
[50:26]
I agree uh having gone out in into your
neighborhood and watching and seeing
[50:32]
where this individual's vehicle worked
um does create some problems. Uh your
[50:38]
your neighborhood is very walkable and
bikable and kids are out and they're
[50:43]
moving into traffic and trying to avoid
um it wasn't even hooked up to a
[50:48]
vehicle, Mr. Supervisor. It's literally
in the street on blocks. Um, so th this
[50:54]
is an individual that's a little bit
different. Um, but I'm happy to help and
[50:58]
uh I appreciate you coming to the
meeting tonight to to enlighten the rest
[51:02]
of the board on what you're dealing with
over there and our public safety and
[51:06]
code enforcement team will definitely
support you and uh and and your
[51:11]
neighbors. Uh so thank you for coming
tonight.
[51:14]
» That's all, Mr. Supervisor. Thank you.
>> Thank you, Treasure Elliott. I just got
[51:18]
a few things. Um we'll work with you. No
problem. As Trusty Joseph said, we got
[51:22]
we come up with a solution. Uh just just
on the township's radar, uh we found a
[51:29]
code enforcement found another retention
detention pond in the township that has
[51:33]
been here historically. We're doing the
uh mining of data. Uh we're looking for
[51:37]
records now. It goes back uh into what
we assume is the 50s. Um it was township
[51:42]
maintained as near as we can tell. Um, I
just say that's problematic because
[51:47]
again, um, once we get this sorted out,
this is probably going to need a, uh,
[51:53]
SAD district created to maintain it in
the future. It is a very large um,
[51:58]
retention pond. Um, I want to explain
myself uh, the no vote on the the, uh,
[52:05]
further on the, um, consent agenda. The
payroll was on there. I've got issues
[52:10]
with uh uh certain employees that were
part-time that were brought in uh in
[52:16]
elections. Um they were paid off of an
email that was sent without
[52:20]
justification. I don't know and I
clearly I have no statutory authority
[52:24]
over election workers, but I am not
comfortable with how the payment was
[52:29]
processed. So again, I put that on
everybody's radar. I'm looking into it
[52:32]
still. I don't like what I've seen and
heard and uh my hope is bringing it
[52:37]
back. But uh again, I think if you get
paid by the township, then you perform a
[52:41]
duty by the township and um uh record
should reflect that. Uh this weekend we
[52:48]
have Cheers to Chesterfield event. If
you would please go to all of our social
[52:51]
media pages. Um it is a township event
held at Brandenburg Park. Details are
[52:56]
listed. We have fireworks
um events, kids events, again all at
[53:01]
Brandenburg Park. Details are on our
social media and web pages. And as
[53:05]
Trusty Joseph indicated, can't be any
prouder. Um, police department
[53:09]
accredited, fire department accredited,
water and sewer accredited on pace for
[53:14]
July of next year. Um, and as uh as was
stated, this is not just something you
[53:20]
go get. This is a deep dive into your
into your operation with the intent of
[53:25]
having clear policies, clear directives,
uh, operating within industry standards
[53:30]
and then steps of approval. And uh that
is how we my goal is to run uh every
[53:37]
department that I have purview over in
the township and we will continue that
[53:41]
pace. Um we have uh as some of you got
we have finance director that you were
[53:46]
sent links to. Uh we got your comments
back. We are proceeding with that
[53:50]
expeditiously. The goal is to have
someone in here. My hope is by midmon
[53:54]
you have a document in front of you that
I dropped off today. I I would love your
[53:59]
input on how that appears. Again, that's
another step in a different direction,
[54:02]
but uh a step that I think is uh very
self um explanatory to you. My goal is
[54:09]
to get all the non-represented employees
uh um under that document and then
[54:15]
moving forward. Um and again, uh to your
comments, uh Mr. Lock's comments,
[54:21]
nothing is done here without a purchase
order. Period.
[54:24]
So I don't know who is giving you the
explanation but nothing is purchased
[54:30]
nothing is bought without entry by the
department head into keep pointing to
[54:35]
again I don't even know why I'm
addressing this but u who's ever giving
[54:39]
you that information is wrong. So um
with that being said uh quick meeting
[54:45]
tonight pre
[55:01]
Meeting adjourned at 7:55.
