1 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Consumer 2 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,919 water. Hello. 3 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:44,360 Consumer water portal. Let's jump in. Your consumer water portal is broken 4 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,360 down into three main seashboard, 5 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:52,720 consumption, usage, and alerts. When you log in, you will be directed to your 6 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:57,440 dashboard. The dashboard provides an overview of the aggregate consumption 7 00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:03,039 for your account for the last 30 days. The dashboard is divided into three 8 00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:08,560 areas: information cards, usage history, and alerts. The information cards area 9 00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:13,759 includes the account number, account address, the 30-day average daily usage, 10 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:18,319 which is useful as a benchmark for your average consumption, and alerts, which 11 00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:23,759 allows you to quickly view the alerts you have enabled. We will cover alerts 12 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:27,680 in more detail later. Next, we have usage history. This allows you to 13 00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:33,120 quickly view your consumption patterns for the last 30 days. The 30-day average 14 00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:35,680 daily usage is displayed on the graph as a ben 15 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:28,320 style that we will be installing in inst got loud installing at the uh township 16 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:33,360 lift stations. Um the chopper pump technology uh will help to grind up a 17 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:36,640 lot of the flushable wipes and other things that come down into the sewer and 18 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:40,640 uh we believe it's going to help kind of improve the uh life of these pumps at 19 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:45,360 the station by not having so much of the flushable materials there or non 20 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:49,279 flushable material.

Um Gleewell 39 00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:21,520 has used a new feature on how they um produce these numbers and so that's why 40 00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:25,679 we see the reduction. Uh this aligns more closely to what we typically would 41 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:30,559 see in our township. Um for the record, we have not ex we haven't exceeded um 42 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:37,559 these two figures, so we don't have any concern with exceedence in the future. 43 00:26:33,919 --> 00:26:37,559 Questions from the board? 44 00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:44,000 Seeing none, I have a motion by trustee Vosberg, supported by Trustee Joseph, to 45 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:47,919 approve item 10E.

Um, but 69 00:28:43,979 --> 00:28:50,880 [clears throat] we got the update from uh EPA that they wanted it completed in 70 00:28:48,159 --> 00:28:54,799 this year. Um we have a sanitary sewer master um sanitary sewer survey that 71 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:58,559 will be completed by Eagle next year. We're going to try to do it all 72 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,799 together, but we did find um in speaking with the EPA, they would like this done 73 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,279 this year. >> Okay. So, are there are there carryovers 74 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:08,880 from this study that can be used in next year's the other study? 75 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:12,399 » Um the study next year will be it's more of a sur um it's a survey.

If you look in your pack, it's pretty straightforward and minimal. um 94 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:42,000 public safety and then um the the amounts were minimal. Um so it's pretty 95 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:46,799 self-explanatory in the package as to the reasons why the 96 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:52,279 amendments are required. I thought so. Um any questions, discussion? 97 00:30:54,320 --> 00:31:00,960 Seeing none, I have a motion by Supervisor Kirsten supported by Trustee 98 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:04,919 Hornberger to approve item 10G.

Uh again, this is u this APO is actually came recommended uh one of the 106 00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:51,039 package uh policies from Woodhill Group. Um we've made some changes and some 107 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:56,080 corrections in it. Uh pretty again pretty straightforward as you see the 108 00:31:52,799 --> 00:32:01,679 version and it puts us consistent with uh current practice and policy right now 109 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:04,320 within uh our finance department. Karen, go ahead. Sorry, didn't see you 110 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:08,159 there. >> I don't have much to add.

Uh, go ahead, Karen. >> Um, the main, uh, change on this 123 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:18,240 purchasing policy is from the 5,000 to the 10,000. Um, we did try a few years 124 00:33:15,919 --> 00:33:23,440 back to change it. Back then, it was, um, going to be from 5,000 to 15,000. We 125 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:30,159 thought that that was maybe a little too much. So, we came back um, and are 126 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:36,159 moving it from 5 to 10. >> Questions from the board? Trusty Joseph. 127 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:43,600 the uh 5,000 really does create a number of problems uh for the department heads 128 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:50,559 um with the cost of really any project. And um one of the speakers that got up 129 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:57,200 and spoke to this earlier um it's not as if the existing policy doesn't care 130 00:33:53,919 --> 00:34:03,919 about expenditures under $5,000. They're all accounted for. Uh that will be the 131 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:12,320 policy as the limits are expanded. Uh any amount is accounted for um in in the 132 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:20,720 bill runs and reconciliation for all expenditures is available. uh 133 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:25,679 this will just uh increase um the limit um allowing department heads to you know 134 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:31,520 really function without having to come to the board for every uh transaction 135 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:37,520 over 5,000 and I think um the committee that looked at this um I appreciate the 136 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:43,919 uh kind of middle middle ground uh from the original proposal of 15 um this 137 00:34:40,399 --> 00:34:51,359 gives functionality and um some ability for for the department heads to operate 138 00:34:46,399 --> 00:34:55,200 um without concerns about you know excessive spending. So uh this is a good 139 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:59,200 balance and I appreciate the presentation. Thank you. 140 00:34:56,879 --> 00:35:04,720 » Uh Trusty Bossford. >> Thank you Mr. Supervisor. I also um 141 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:09,920 you know approve of this. I think it's it's time we did what is the last time 142 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:16,480 that it was changed and what was it from 3000 or something? Yeah, it's it's been 143 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:19,040 10 plus years since it's been changed and yeah, it was originally I think 144 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:23,680 3,000. >> Yeah, it was all right. Um it's Yeah, 145 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:30,720 it's time to move it up. And it's really the budget that drives the spending of 146 00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:33,599 if we're looking at um some of the suggestions that were made by the 147 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,720 Woodhill Group and others about our budget. That's that's really what drives 148 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:43,599 how we spend. So it's this will just I think help the department heads to get 149 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,760 the work done in a more um timely manner instead of waiting for our meetings. 150 00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:51,440 Thank you. >> Agreed. It's more of a guide based on 151 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:56,640 the budget treasure. 152 00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:01,839 Um I know that Steve Adair when he did look at um this purchasing policy did 153 00:35:59,359 --> 00:36:06,240 raise an eyebrow you know and said he can't imagine how it was that uh the 154 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:10,400 department heads were functioning um with that kind of limit because it does 155 00:36:07,839 --> 00:36:16,400 just make everything has gone up in price and um I believe he said there was 156 00:36:13,359 --> 00:36:22,079 a u reference he did make a reference to the 10,000 being pretty standard um and 157 00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:27,520 then everything that um does come through um the the department heads have 158 00:36:25,359 --> 00:36:31,520 have a entire process that we have to go through and as Trusty Joseph did point 159 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:38,480 out and all of that does come to the bill run and does have to come before 160 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:42,480 the board. So this is just um guidance. >> Thank you 161 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:46,400 Trusty Anderson. >> Okay. I recall when it was three grand 162 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:51,599 uh without approval then went up to five and I understand I recall what you said 163 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:56,160 about trying to go to 15. Um I understand a hardship as is explained 164 00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:59,920 here but at the same time I could see a intermediate step somewhere between five 165 00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:04,480 and 10 instead of automatically going to 10 and see what happens. You know we got 166 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:09,359 good people here but still um I think with our finances [snorts] 167 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:12,800 there has to be I I'm not comfortable with um going to the 10 grand at this 168 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:18,880 time and I know we already we had that discussion. I appreciate it but right 169 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:23,000 now I'm a no on it for that. Thank you. Any further questions from the board? 170 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:30,240 I have a motion by Supervisor Kirsten, supported by Trusty Hornberg, to approve 171 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:33,520 item 10.

If you would please state your name, not required. 176 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:07,280 » Hi, my name's Don Rio and did you need my address? It's 52455 and 177 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:13,839 » Oh, okay. Um, so today I'm here. Good evening, by the way. And um I'm here 178 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:19,280 with some gratitude. Um, but I I needed to back up and and tell you um how it 179 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:26,400 didn't start out that way. Um, I'm here about the um uh our cord our code 180 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:33,599 enforcements for camper parking in the streets and um 181 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:37,920 um it seems like for a couple years they haven't been enforced [snorts] 182 00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:43,119 and I'm on the board in an HOA. I'm the vice president and so um and I know you 183 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:49,520 guys don't have any much to do with that but my job is to enforce our 184 00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:55,680 restrictions and we had campers parking in the driveway which was a restriction 185 00:38:53,280 --> 00:39:00,480 and we had to enforce it. So in order to go around our restrictions we've had 186 00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:05,280 people park in the streets and actually keep them there for three days on 187 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:11,359 blocks. And so, um, starting in like 2004 188 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:16,320 when I would call, we we we couldn't make them move it because the street 189 00:39:13,839 --> 00:39:21,040 isn't our responsibility. So, I I would call our code enforcement and they would 190 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:25,440 tell me it's not their job and we call the police and I would So, I'd call the 191 00:39:23,359 --> 00:39:31,920 police and the police would tell me it's not their job to call you and then we 192 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:36,720 would call again. I think I spoke to Tom and then he would tell me to call the 193 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:40,720 police and it wasn't getting done and we were having all these problems and it 194 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:46,880 it's a safety hazard, right? We have children riding bikes, we have 195 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:54,640 kids on scooters, we have go um golf carts and um nothing was getting done. 196 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:58,960 So finally when I was at my wits end I finally got a hold of David and said 197 00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:04,480 please tell me what to do. I thought I was going through the right channels 198 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:08,720 here. Um I looked up our restrictions, you know, our code and our code says 199 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:16,240 that they are not allowed to be parked in the street and um so David ended up 200 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:22,880 taking care of it for me, but it took me to have to bother and call a trustee to 201 00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:30,480 get it taken care of. So I appreciate that it did get taken care of. Um, 202 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:35,359 but it is there any advice here? I mean, am I doing do I call the township or do 203 00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:40,000 I call the police? Can somebody answer that for me so I don't have to keep 204 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:44,560 going through this? >> There there's a nuance in the ordinance 205 00:40:41,839 --> 00:40:47,680 in the law. Um, we'll work with you. We have no problem working with you. I'm 206 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,160 going to direct you to that gentleman right there in the white shirt from the 207 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:54,320 police department. >> Okay. One of if a trailer or camper is 208 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:58,480 parked in the street unattached to a vehicle and it's legally 209 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:03,280 » it's legally licensed and plated, it's kind of difficult. Our ordinance doesn't 210 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:08,240 take effect uh until it hits private property and driveways. Then the code 211 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:13,680 enforcement would get involved. Um your your what subdivision? What? Never mind. 212 00:41:11,359 --> 00:41:17,440 » Um your subdivision is just like mine. Uh we have the same issues. So trying to 213 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,599 understand it and work through it. There's there's a diversion in in the 214 00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:26,720 law. Motor vehicle code for streets and roadways and then code enforcement for 215 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:30,480 private properties and anything over the curb and in the sidewalk. So, we'd have 216 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:34,000 to know those nuances. What I would tell you is don't stop calling. You can call 217 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:37,200 code enforcement. We'll work through it. We'll get your address tonight. We'll 218 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:40,079 make sure that they know, but I'm going to direct you to the gentleman in the 219 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,920 white shirt, the police chief, who can address specifically um the motor 220 00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:49,440 vehicle code and how that applies to campers and trailers. And the nuance is 221 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:56,440 um is it hooked to a motor vehicle? The camper or the trailer? Is it a lawnmower 222 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:56,440 trailer? Is it a a business trailer? 223 00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:11,040 If that's the street >> on blocks 224 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:15,040 » on blocks then we have >> okay I even sent pictures to show that 225 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:19,839 it wasn't even attached to a vehicle. It sat there for 3 days. 226 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:26,079 » So and I just think it's a safety issue too with the children. Um 227 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:30,480 so that was my issue. >> Okay. 228 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,400 » Okay. I really do appreciate that and thank you David for helping me with 229 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:37,560 that. So, thank you very much. >> Thank you. 230 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:58,480 Hey, just uh wanted to say um so during um the constant cleanups I've been doing 231 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:05,280 uh the one thing I wanted to point out is um it's partly in the public areas 232 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:11,440 but also on private properties as well. um a problem that's kind of gone un uh 233 00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:16,079 noticed at least for um some people I guess at least I want to say probably 234 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:22,560 the property owners but uh something I wish the township would kind of like 235 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:27,920 put out a message properly for them is on these properties a lot of the drains 236 00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:31,839 get clogged up and when I mean clogged up I mean I I can tell because I have 237 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:39,520 over a decade in civil engineering experience this stuff is months 238 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:42,720 without any cleaning. And you know, if anybody doesn't have a goldfish memory, 239 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,400 three years ago, we had major flooding in the community. And so, uh, the most 240 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:51,119 important aspect of landscaping is drainage. And when you're designing 241 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:55,839 stuff as an engineer, like that that is like the biggest thing you have to 242 00:43:52,640 --> 00:44:01,359 account for is where does the water go? Where does your runoff go? And if these 243 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:05,520 are all clogged up and it's not the entire township, but there are certain 244 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:10,640 choke points where they get clogged up and nobody's taking care of it, nobody's 245 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:16,480 maintaining it. And I think a a good gentle reminder to everybody in the 246 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:20,480 community of hey, if you you know, if it's not just leaves, but there's trash. 247 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:26,640 It's an accumulation of effects. It's a if if I see an entire bug colony when I 248 00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:32,560 pull that stuff out, I'm like, "Okay, yeah, this this has been here a while." 249 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:37,599 And if this if the township can make that an address sort of, hey, clean 250 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:42,079 these out now and then you don't have to worry about any flooding in the future, 251 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:46,800 it makes a big difference down the line. This is the this is the notation of 252 00:44:44,319 --> 00:44:52,480 proper maintenance, proper adherence toward what we regularly do can prevent 253 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:57,760 anything major in the future because oftent times a lot of disasters or a lot 254 00:44:55,119 --> 00:45:05,200 of problems communities face come from the breakdown of not maintaining current 255 00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:10,160 infrastructure um as it should be. And just simple maintenance like that, like 256 00:45:08,079 --> 00:45:15,599 a general reminder to business owners, to people, people's properties, or for 257 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:20,301 the public in general, keep these areas clean. We'll have no problems. Thank 258 00:45:17,839 --> 00:45:20,301 you. [snorts] 259 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:32,880 » I just thought about this one. I don't know what happened to Eagle's Nest where 260 00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:37,040 the military house used to be. Seville Manners. I used to live there. But on 261 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:42,000 Cyclon, I was coming home from the gym the other morning. There's Eagle's back 262 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:48,040 in those woods now. So, somebody follow up on this one. I don't know who to call 263 00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:48,040 and letting you know. Thank you. 264 00:45:54,079 --> 00:46:04,160 I kind of want to just Jeez Louise. Oh, Lord have mercy. 265 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:08,079 Oh my god. I'm not yelling. I swear. Um I just wanted to follow up with what 266 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:12,480 Mike said. Um I don't know if it's homeowners that are taking the 267 00:46:09,599 --> 00:46:18,800 initiative to do this, but on Kilowald, um kudos to them for cleaning out and 268 00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:22,480 replacing their um their culverts and tearing down all that shrubbery and 269 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:27,359 trees, overgrown trees that were blocking the curve right outside of my 270 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:30,720 street on Roselon. Um it looks beautiful over there. I'm sure drainage will be 271 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:36,160 fantastic over there for the walkers on the sidewalk. So, just want to say 272 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:40,480 thanks for that. >> Any more comments from the public? Any 273 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:44,160 more comments from the public? Trusty Hornberger, start with you tonight. 274 00:46:43,359 --> 00:46:46,079 » Thank you, >> Trusty Vosber. 275 00:46:45,359 --> 00:46:50,319 » Good. >> Trusty Anderson, like to congratulate 276 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:54,079 our fire department on attaining the certification. Uh, well done. 277 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:58,800 Tremendous. A lot of work went into that. And also, uh, you got one more 278 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:02,800 summer holiday coming up in a week or so, Labor Day. Enjoy it. and we'll see 279 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:06,240 you all in a couple weeks. Thank you, >> Trusty Joseph. 280 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:11,680 » Thank you, Mr. Supervisor. Uh just wanted to echo the uh congratulations 281 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:17,839 for the fire department. Um that accreditation process was something that 282 00:47:14,079 --> 00:47:23,760 um we got the uh presentation on it seems like uh 3 four years ago that uh 283 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:30,240 they've been working and preparing. uh massive undertaking and uh appreciate uh 284 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:35,520 supervisor's focus on um having our department's uh answer to a national 285 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:41,440 standard. Uh started under your leadership in the police department um 286 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:46,720 extended now to our public safety um partner over in the fire and uh we're 287 00:47:44,319 --> 00:47:53,040 working as you mentioned earlier uh with water department. So, um these are good, 288 00:47:49,520 --> 00:48:00,960 uh best practices and um very very efficient um and the um the township 289 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:04,720 residents are better for uh for it. So, uh congratulations to the fire 290 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:09,599 department and uh thanks for all your hard work. Um, Miss Rio, I'm glad that 291 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:17,680 you came uh because uh we've been messaging and um the ordinance that you 292 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:20,960 reference is very difficult because um for a couple weeks in a row, a couple 293 00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:27,520 board meetings in a row, we had residents who um have campers and they 294 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:33,920 came forward and they were frustrated because code enforcement had sent out um 295 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:39,440 dozens of letters uh to RV and boat owners who had parked park their um 296 00:48:37,119 --> 00:48:45,599 vehicles uh recreational vehicles, trailers, so forth uh in their driveway 297 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:52,559 in the front. Your situation has been uh nightmarish in terms of um I I think 298 00:48:49,520 --> 00:49:00,720 it's fairly isolated to one particular individual who's uh really flagrant 299 00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:08,000 about um his vehicle and it's a rather large uh trailer. Um it's not the same 300 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:13,280 as some of the concerns that we have have heard from other residents who have 301 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:18,800 a trailer or a boat and they say um you know it takes me a little time to to 302 00:49:15,839 --> 00:49:24,640 pack it or unpack it after a trip. This situation is dramatically different and 303 00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:32,079 um I appreciate all the work that you've done within your uh community. your HOA 304 00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:37,920 board has met and um you you really tried to resolve it internally and when 305 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:43,280 it was um you know this particular resident who was pushing to the limit 306 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:49,280 and you needed help um it got a little confusing because as the supervisor 307 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:54,400 mentioned um the the right of way and legally parked vehicles in the street 308 00:49:52,079 --> 00:50:00,240 fall under one jurisdiction um code enforcement is an is another um 309 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:06,880 but uh I'm always willing to help you out and uh any resident who's frustrated 310 00:50:03,359 --> 00:50:12,480 with these types of situations and um the supervisor mentioned director 311 00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:18,079 Basset, that's my go-to person as well. Uh his his team, his administrative 312 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:23,599 team, Captain McNair, um Gary De Masters, who's no longer here, uh was 313 00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:29,760 our department head that oversees code enforcement. It's a tricky issue. Uh but 314 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:35,680 I agree uh having gone out in into your neighborhood and watching and seeing 315 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:40,800 where this individual's vehicle worked um does create some problems. Uh your 316 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:46,559 your neighborhood is very walkable and bikable and kids are out and they're 317 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:50,640 moving into traffic and trying to avoid um it wasn't even hooked up to a 318 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:55,760 vehicle, Mr. Supervisor. It's literally in the street on blocks. Um, so th this 319 00:50:54,240 --> 00:51:00,480 is an individual that's a little bit different. Um, but I'm happy to help and 320 00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:04,880 uh I appreciate you coming to the meeting tonight to to enlighten the rest 321 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:08,880 of the board on what you're dealing with over there and our public safety and 322 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:13,359 code enforcement team will definitely support you and uh and and your 323 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:16,160 neighbors. Uh so thank you for coming tonight. 324 00:51:14,319 --> 00:51:20,559 » That's all, Mr. Supervisor. Thank you. >> Thank you, Treasure Elliott. I just got 325 00:51:18,319 --> 00:51:26,319 a few things. Um we'll work with you. No problem. As Trusty Joseph said, we got 326 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:31,520 we come up with a solution. Uh just just on the township's radar, uh we found a 327 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:35,200 code enforcement found another retention detention pond in the township that has 328 00:51:33,359 --> 00:51:39,760 been here historically. We're doing the uh mining of data. Uh we're looking for 329 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:45,119 records now. It goes back uh into what we assume is the 50s. Um it was township 330 00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:50,240 maintained as near as we can tell. Um, I just say that's problematic because 331 00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:55,920 again, um, once we get this sorted out, this is probably going to need a, uh, 332 00:51:53,599 --> 00:52:02,079 SAD district created to maintain it in the future. It is a very large um, 333 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:08,559 retention pond. Um, I want to explain myself uh, the no vote on the the, uh, 334 00:52:05,839 --> 00:52:13,440 further on the, um, consent agenda. The payroll was on there. I've got issues 335 00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:18,640 with uh uh certain employees that were part-time that were brought in uh in 336 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:22,240 elections. Um they were paid off of an email that was sent without 337 00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:26,720 justification. I don't know and I clearly I have no statutory authority 338 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:31,280 over election workers, but I am not comfortable with how the payment was 339 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:34,800 processed. So again, I put that on everybody's radar. I'm looking into it 340 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:39,680 still. I don't like what I've seen and heard and uh my hope is bringing it 341 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:45,839 back. But uh again, I think if you get paid by the township, then you perform a 342 00:52:41,599 --> 00:52:49,839 duty by the township and um uh record should reflect that. Uh this weekend we 343 00:52:48,319 --> 00:52:54,319 have Cheers to Chesterfield event. If you would please go to all of our social 344 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:58,880 media pages. Um it is a township event held at Brandenburg Park. Details are 345 00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:03,599 listed. We have fireworks um events, kids events, again all at 346 00:53:01,359 --> 00:53:07,520 Brandenburg Park. Details are on our social media and web pages. And as 347 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:11,839 Trusty Joseph indicated, can't be any prouder. Um, police department 348 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:18,800 accredited, fire department accredited, water and sewer accredited on pace for 349 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:22,960 July of next year. Um, and as uh as was stated, this is not just something you 350 00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:28,240 go get. This is a deep dive into your into your operation with the intent of 351 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:34,000 having clear policies, clear directives, uh, operating within industry standards 352 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:39,760 and then steps of approval. And uh that is how we my goal is to run uh every 353 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:45,359 department that I have purview over in the township and we will continue that 354 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:48,960 pace. Um we have uh as some of you got we have finance director that you were 355 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:52,240 sent links to. Uh we got your comments back. We are proceeding with that 356 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:57,040 expeditiously. The goal is to have someone in here. My hope is by midmon 357 00:53:54,720 --> 00:54:00,960 you have a document in front of you that I dropped off today. I I would love your 358 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:05,440 input on how that appears. Again, that's another step in a different direction, 359 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:12,240 but uh a step that I think is uh very self um explanatory to you. My goal is 360 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:18,720 to get all the non-represented employees uh um under that document and then 361 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:22,640 moving forward. Um and again, uh to your comments, uh Mr. Lock's comments, 362 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:26,880 nothing is done here without a purchase order. Period. 363 00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:33,760 So I don't know who is giving you the explanation but nothing is purchased 364 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:37,760 nothing is bought without entry by the department head into keep pointing to 365 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:43,760 again I don't even know why I'm addressing this but u who's ever giving 366 00:54:39,839 --> 00:54:48,920 you that information is wrong. So um with that being said uh quick meeting 367 00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:48,920 tonight pre 368 00:55:01,839 --> 00:55:05,880 Meeting adjourned at 7:55.
