Uh your 618 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:43,280 your neighborhood is very walkable and 619 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:46,559 bikable and kids are out and they're 620 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:48,880 moving into traffic and trying to avoid 621 00:50:46,559 --> 00:50:50,640 um it wasn't even hooked up to a 622 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:54,240 vehicle, Mr. Supervisor. It's literally 623 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:55,760 in the street on blocks. Um, so th this 624 00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:58,720 is an individual that's a little bit 625 00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:00,480 different. Um, but I'm happy to help and 626 00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:02,880 uh I appreciate you coming to the 627 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,880 meeting tonight to to enlighten the rest 628 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,800 of the board on what you're dealing with 629 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,880 over there and our public safety and 630 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:11,440 code enforcement team will definitely 631 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:13,359 support you and uh and and your 632 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,319 neighbors. Uh so thank you for coming 633 00:51:13,359 --> 00:51:16,160 tonight. 634 00:51:14,319 --> 00:51:18,319 » That's all, Mr. Supervisor. Thank you. 635 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:20,559 » Thank you, Treasure Elliott. I just got 636 00:51:18,319 --> 00:51:22,640 a few things. Um we'll work with you. No 637 00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:26,319 problem. As Trusty Joseph said, we got 638 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:29,040 we come up with a solution. Uh just just 639 00:51:26,319 --> 00:51:31,520 on the township's radar, uh we found a 640 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:33,359 code enforcement found another retention 641 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,200 detention pond in the township that has 642 00:51:33,359 --> 00:51:37,280 been here historically. We're doing the 643 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:39,760 uh mining of data. Uh we're looking for 644 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:42,720 records now. It goes back uh into what 645 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:45,119 we assume is the 50s. Um it was township 646 00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:47,119 maintained as near as we can tell. Um, I 647 00:51:45,119 --> 00:51:50,240 just say that's problematic because 648 00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:53,599 again, um, once we get this sorted out, 649 00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:55,920 this is probably going to need a, uh, 650 00:51:53,599 --> 00:51:58,800 SAD district created to maintain it in 651 00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:02,079 the future. It is a very large um, 652 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:05,839 retention pond. Um, I want to explain 653 00:52:02,079 --> 00:52:08,559 myself uh, the no vote on the the, uh, 654 00:52:05,839 --> 00:52:10,720 further on the, um, consent agenda. The 655 00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:13,440 payroll was on there. I've got issues 656 00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:16,000 with uh uh certain employees that were 657 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:18,640 part-time that were brought in uh in 658 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:20,240 elections. Um they were paid off of an 659 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,240 email that was sent without 660 00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:24,400 justification. I don't know and I 661 00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:26,720 clearly I have no statutory authority 662 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:29,280 over election workers, but I am not 663 00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:31,280 comfortable with how the payment was 664 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,960 processed. So again, I put that on 665 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,800 everybody's radar. I'm looking into it 666 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:37,040 still. I don't like what I've seen and 667 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:39,680 heard and uh my hope is bringing it 668 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:41,599 back. But uh again, I think if you get 669 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:45,839 paid by the township, then you perform a 670 00:52:41,599 --> 00:52:48,319 duty by the township and um uh record 671 00:52:45,839 --> 00:52:49,839 should reflect that. Uh this weekend we 672 00:52:48,319 --> 00:52:51,280 have Cheers to Chesterfield event. If 673 00:52:49,839 --> 00:52:54,319 you would please go to all of our social 674 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:56,640 media pages. Um it is a township event 675 00:52:54,319 --> 00:52:58,880 held at Brandenburg Park. Details are 676 00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:01,359 listed. We have fireworks 677 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:03,599 um events, kids events, again all at 678 00:53:01,359 --> 00:53:05,680 Brandenburg Park. Details are on our 679 00:53:03,599 --> 00:53:07,520 social media and web pages. And as 680 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,520 Trusty Joseph indicated, can't be any 681 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,839 prouder. Um, police department 682 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:14,880 accredited, fire department accredited, 683 00:53:11,839 --> 00:53:18,800 water and sewer accredited on pace for 684 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:20,559 July of next year. Um, and as uh as was 685 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,960 stated, this is not just something you 686 00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:25,440 go get. This is a deep dive into your 687 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:28,240 into your operation with the intent of 688 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:30,960 having clear policies, clear directives, 689 00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:34,000 uh, operating within industry standards 690 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:37,520 and then steps of approval. And uh that 691 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:39,760 is how we my goal is to run uh every 692 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,440 department that I have purview over in 693 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:45,359 the township and we will continue that 694 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:46,960 pace. Um we have uh as some of you got 695 00:53:45,359 --> 00:53:48,960 we have finance director that you were 696 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,480 sent links to. Uh we got your comments 697 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,240 back. We are proceeding with that 698 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,720 expeditiously. The goal is to have 699 00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:57,040 someone in here. My hope is by midmon 700 00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:59,040 you have a document in front of you that 701 00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,960 I dropped off today. I I would love your 702 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,400 input on how that appears. Again, that's 703 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,440 another step in a different direction, 704 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:09,760 but uh a step that I think is uh very 705 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:12,240 self um explanatory to you. My goal is 706 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:15,520 to get all the non-represented employees 707 00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:18,720 uh um under that document and then 708 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:21,040 moving forward.
