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