republic for which it stands one nation
under god indivisible with liberty and

9
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:11,040
justice for all
today we remember

10
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:13,920
and we honor martin luther king jr
for all the good things that he did for

11
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,320
our country
unfortunately he was taken

12
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:23,840
too early from us
but over the short time that he was here

13
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:29,600
he certainly did change the course of
history for the entire country

14
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:35,439
and the initiatives that he
founded and made

15
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:39,360
were long overdue and much needed
for our country

16
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,680
we've come a long way
since his death

17
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:48,799
and we still have ways to go
but we as a city of cresthill certainly

18
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:53,600
want to honor remember
and extend our deepest condolences to

19
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,439
the king family on on the loss of martin
luther

20
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:03,399
and at this time i would ask for us all
to take a moment of silence in his

21
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,399
remembrance and his honor

22
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:23,560

agenda items and first on the agenda is
to our city attorney mike steph good

61
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:20,880
evening mike good evening
we have before you a resolution

62
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,960
authorizing two several two cases
uh will county cases 28

63
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:33,759
in addition to that resolution uh there
should have been separately uh on your

64
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:39,600
uh spots on the diocese
a consent decree which will become

65
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:43,840
if approved exhibit a
to that resolution exhibit a covers the

66
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:47,840
uh
prestill versus mr

67
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,919
unlimited case
both of these cases were

68
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:56,639
discussed in executive session at the
work session

69
00:05:54,479 --> 00:06:01,360
the consent decree was given to the
defense counsel

70
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:06,080
in the mr unlimited case and he got back
to us about an hour and a half before

71
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,560
the meeting here tonight with a couple
of minor

72
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,440
requests on a red line so
we have i guess two options we have

73
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,199
looked at
the proposed changes

74
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:22,880
i just did not have a chance to get
those inserted into the red line because

75
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:26,240
he sent it as a pdf and
i'm okay in general with the language

76
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:30,000
that he suggested
it's mostly cosmetic it's not really

77
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,080
substantive
i'm happy to discuss those in executive

78
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,280
session tonight if you think that that's
necessary

79
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,680
otherwise you could approve the
resolution with exhibit a in

80
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,039
substantially the same form so long as
it is i would personally would like to

81
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,960
speak on this cusp as an executive
session since we have to vote on it and

82
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,319
we haven't read it okay so it's okay i
don't know if the rest of console but

83
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:02,960
maybe not
so we can go into executive session uh

84
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,440
pending petting litigation
okay

85
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,479
i'm sorry
you don't need to apologize i want to

86
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:12,560
know what i'm going for thank you i'm
sorry it's not like i don't trust you

87
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,560
but it's just

88
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:18,880
so other than that the the other uh the
other case uh which i don't believe

89
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:24,400
needs to be discussed in the executive
session is the phillips versus uh

90
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:29,120
uh or phillips versus crest hill case
that's the administrative hearing case

91
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:33,360
uh which was uh settled or
discussed in executive sessions the

92
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:38,639
settlement is simply waiver of the 750
fine in exchange for the plaintiff's

93
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:42,319
dismissal of the case and uh
um there should be no there's no

94
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,800
separate settlement agreement on that
it's it's all just uh being done through

95
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:50,400
the court in the dismissal order so
that's the other part of the resolution

96
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:53,360
so absent that uh we can discuss the
remainder on executive session and

97
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,160
that's all i have
to answer any other questions can we

98
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,560
vote on the one or do we have to wait
for both of them no i would vote on the

99
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:06,319
resolution after the executive session
for both one resolution okay

100
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:13,680
we will do that
okay anything else mike no that's it

101
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:16,960
questions of city of time
okay thank you

102
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:21,360

124
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:16,240
the first which was talked about last
week is a resolution approving a

125
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,279
preliminary agreement
regarding formation of a regional water

126
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,040

water needs and other related matters
uh as spoke about last week in last

128
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:31,200
week's worst session
this is the our intent to join

129
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:35,440
the regional water commission and pursue
lake michigan water

130
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,720
with a delivery date of 2030
with other surrounding communities

131
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:49,120
okay so we are voting on
all the information in the packet

132
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:53,680
correct yes so this is the the the first
seven or eight pages are the resolution

133
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:57,920
that we will be passing the rest is just
uh auxiliary documentation that has to

134
00:10:55,839 --> 00:11:02,480
be part of the packet um these are all
the things we talked about last at work

135
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,360
session um but really the first eight
pages are the resolution everything else

136
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:11,200
is just the auxiliary information that
has to be part of the resolution packet

137
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:16,720
it was fascinating reading thank you
okay i would ask for a motion

138
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:20,959
for a resolution
approving a preliminary agreement

139
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:23,920
regarding formation of a regional water
commission

140
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:29,440
making preliminary declarations of
future lake michigan water needs and

141
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:33,839
other related matters so movement second
we have motion by alderman albert

142
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:37,920
seconded by alderwoman gazelle
questions or comments yes i have a

143
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:42,959
question over here go ahead
um i wasn't at the uh work session so i

144
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:49,040
don't know what claudia's comments might
have been but i am curious as how to

145
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:55,079
how we got the um
choice of who the backup was

146
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,079
what was the uh

147
00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:05,120
is the appointment from the mayor for an
alternate and the mayor's absence

148
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:08,959
uh that is required of all the
communities that will be joining the

149
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,880
water commission
what was the rationalities

150
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:17,600
behind
that one person over everybody else

151
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:22,880
the rationale was the mayor's choice
of who he would like to

152
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:27,440
have as an alternate on the board
and that was nate alderman albert was my

153
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:31,680
choice
and alderman albert has agreed to be the

154
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:35,920
alternate in my absence
at any of the future meetings which

155
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,920
involves the mayors and the city
administrators

156
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:44,399

183
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:47,760
most important vote in the history of
the city of cresttel

184
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:52,399
and we have worked diligently
from all levels

185
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:57,040
over the past two years to get to this
point this evening

186
00:14:54,480 --> 00:15:01,839
and with the unanimous vote that has
just taken place

187
00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:08,000
i would like all our residents to know
that we have set the course for a high

188
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:13,120
quality sustainable water supply
for the city of cresthill for the next

189
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,920
100 years for the next several
generations

190
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:25,199
our work is far from over
because of this vote tonight

191
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:28,240
our work has only begun
and there will be bumps in the road

192
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,560
going forward but we'll work through
them

193
00:15:29,199 --> 00:15:34,560
and do what is in the best interest of
the city

194
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:39,120
at every bump in the road
we have plenty of work to do

195
00:15:36,959 --> 00:15:43,279
over the next eight years
with infrastructure and construction

196
00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:47,920
throughout the city of cresthill to get
ready for the lake michigan water

197
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,519

00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:57,600
for all of the meetings that were
attended by

199

206
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:31,120
project on behalf of the city of joliet
in order to gain the formation of the

207
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,120
regional water commission

208
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,279
i believe that we have worked
cooperatively

209
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:43,360
and for the good of all of the
surrounding communities

210
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,360
in forming this commission

211
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,880
we as the city of cresthill are now
charter members

212
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:53,519
and with the vote that just took place
tonight we are the first to join with

213
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:58,880
this with the regional water commission
and there are several other communities

214
00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:02,720
that will be joining in the near future
and to all our residents

215
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:07,039
thank you for your patience for us for
the last couple years and working

216
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:11,360
through a lot of the details
but i want you to understand that this

217
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:18,160
is the most cost effective method for
the city of cresthill to move forward

218
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:21,839
to provide a high quality of water
and again i would just like to give my

219
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:24,640
thanks and my gratitude to everyone that
has been involved in this most important

220
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,319
decision
with that i will open it up to city

221
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:34,799
council if anyone would like to make
any comments in regards to the formation

222
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:40,160
well in throughout this whole thing i
i've heard responses from many of our

223
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:45,600
citizens on a daily on a daily basis
and i must say that uh the majority

224
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:50,240
with maybe one exception we're all
positive all in agreement that this was

225
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,799
the best move for the city
um

226
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:55,760
which did surprise me that there was
only really one

227
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,360
disagreeing
vote i heard a voice i heard

228
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,760
so
the people that did listen that did

229
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:07,520
know what was going on seemed to all
share the same

230
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:14,240
thought that that i did that that this
was the only way we really had to go so

of 2013

276
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:31,760
through april 30th of 2019.
basically they reviewed all of our

277
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:35,520
expenditures they made sure all the
expenditures were eligible based on the

278
00:21:33,679 --> 00:21:39,039
guidelines we provided all the
appropriate documentation we closed out

279
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,440

288
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:18,960
could be a little bit off there's some
interest and things like that but

289
00:22:16,159 --> 00:22:26,640

learn and to gather information has just

485
00:37:17,359 --> 00:37:23,520
been incredible so i want to on behalf
of all of the citizens of the city of

486
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,680

487
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:31,680
proclamation that we have just passed i

00:37:33,359 --> 00:37:39,839
villain to lot for all
branches also it's an incredible

490
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:44,320
feat to try to handle those three
buildings and to provide the services

491
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:48,079
that you do but you do it very well and
we're very proud to have you in the city

492
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:52,000
of crest hill great so congratulations
on behalf of myself and everyone in the

493
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:56,079
city of christ thank you so much
certainly the podium is yours all right

494
00:37:54,720 --> 00:38:00,160
thank you mayor and council this is
quite an honor um

495
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:04,560
as you've gathered from the the reading
of the proclamation it's quite a storied

496
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:08,160
history 100 years is a long time and
um you know as i was listening to that

497
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,280
it kind of reminded me a little bit of
just the city of cresthill i mean

498
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:16,079
uh
you know officially crest hill uh

499
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,160
incorporated in 1960 so some someone
might say cresthill is only 62 years old

500
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:25,040
but obviously there was a community
before it incorporated and so a very

501
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:28,119
long story uh passed and
i think one of the things that i've

502
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:33,119
tried to bring uh
is a little bit of a drive and a you

503
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:36,400
know continuing to look forward it might
you know be easy to to rest on laurels

504
00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:38,800
or
or whatever but

505
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:43,280
you know we're
as the mayor said we we're a really good

506
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:47,599
library right now and we're striving
every day every week every month to be a

507
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:50,480
great library and
you know we're very proud of what we've

508
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:55,200
accomplished but there's a lot to do
still and so we're not

509
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:55,200
we're not done just yet

510
00:38:55,359 --> 00:39:00,560
and
and i would also mention i can get in a

511
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:05,440
commercial while i get the podium
so the mayor mentioned the dinner that

512
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:10,640
we're having on february 4th
that's kind of a combination celebration

513
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:14,320
recognize our library partners announced
the existence of our new foundation that

514
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:18,320
we've just launched
but also throughout the calendar year of

515
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:22,640
2022 we're going to have all kinds of
activities at the library celebrating

516
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:26,880
this anniversary so look for
all ages open to the public birthday

517
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:30,079
parties to happen in may and all three
of our branches and uh all kinds of

518
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:34,240
other fun things that we're gonna do
throughout the year so

519
00:39:31,839 --> 00:39:37,839
yeah it's it's uh i'm humbled and
honored to to receive this so thank you

520
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:40,800
all very much so just stay right there
i'm gonna open up the city council for

521
00:39:39,359 --> 00:39:44,880
any comments they would like to make to
you scott i just have one one question

522
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:48,640
what are some of the the ways that they
can support the foundation

523
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:53,680
okay so we have a like i said a brand
new library foundation it is a true uh

524
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:58,480
endowment type of foundation so any
money given to the foundation

525
00:39:55,839 --> 00:40:03,280
is principal and it will never be spent
so if you give ten dollars that ten

526
00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:07,119
dollars for the rest of time will earn
interest that goes to the library so

527
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:11,680
it's it's an endowment so the principal
will never be touched the interest money

528
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,400
uh will start to flow to the library to
create

529
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,640
a source of income that doesn't come
from tax dollars and that's what you

530
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,200
know
that's what i've been hearing for the

531
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:24,640
last 15 years so that's what we've now
put together um so to ultimate albert's

532
00:40:22,319 --> 00:40:24,640
point

533
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,480
anybody who donates
during

534
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:32,240
this
calendar year will be considered a

535
00:40:30,319 --> 00:40:35,760
centennial donor and they'll be
recognized as such you know forever on

536
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:40,240
our website the foundation website i
should say

537
00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:44,240
um and that's you know one dollar up to
in theory 249

538
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:49,359
um if you're willing to give 250
uh you get a bronze leaf on the on the

539
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:53,760
donor tree which is about to be
installed at the chrysler branch in the

540
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:58,640
next week or so um 500 you get your
silver leaf 750 you can see a gold leaf

541
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:01,200
um if you really want to
be a big spender a thousand dollars

542
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,839
we'll get you an egg corn which is
bigger

543
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:08,000
on the tree
we are we are the white oak library

544
00:41:05,599 --> 00:41:11,920
district after all uh there are acorns
and then um beyond that uh the

545
00:41:10,319 --> 00:41:16,800
foundation has conceived of and the
library board has approved a naming

546
00:41:14,319 --> 00:41:20,000
rights sort of menu for spaces in the
library so

547
00:41:18,079 --> 00:41:23,200
um you know if you'd like the the
raymond solomon uh you know children's

548
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:27,920
department you could probably get that
for the low low price of 75 000

549
00:41:25,599 --> 00:41:31,280
all right
but uh you know there's meeting rooms

550
00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:35,440
and whatnot they're much much less
expensive but like i said the whole

551
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:39,200
thing is conceived of
so that you know in five years or ten

552
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:42,319
years or however long it takes us to
sell all the leaves on the trees and

553
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,280
sell all the naming rights of the rooms
or whatever

554
00:41:43,359 --> 00:41:48,640
there might be a million dollars sitting
in the bank churning out fifty thousand

555
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:53,119
dollars and that's probably not that
much but but whatever tens of thousands

556
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:56,079
of dollars of income every year interest
income

557
00:41:54,079 --> 00:41:59,440
which will go to support and sustain the
library's efforts so

558
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:03,280
it is a
leave a legacy type of situation because

559
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:07,119
like i said the principal will never be
touched so any dollar given will

560
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:10,160
continue to produce income for the
library forever

561
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:13,119
you're going to have one of these giving
trees at each of the branches we we will

562
00:42:12,319 --> 00:42:16,319
yes
the um

563
00:42:14,319 --> 00:42:19,839
so we're having these these partner
parties that the mayor had mentioned

564
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:24,079
earlier um in the order that our three
buildings opened so the lockport party

565
00:42:22,319 --> 00:42:26,400
is this friday um
because that was our first branch

566
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:30,400
obviously
and then two weeks later the crystal

567
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:34,160
party will happen and our intention is
to have these trees you know in place

568
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:38,880
and mounted in time for each of those
parties um so it's kind of uh

569
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:42,240
there's they're a celebration party but
also it's a sort of a

570
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:46,240
also celebrating the launch of our new
foundation as well as

571
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,160
looking backwards we're also looking
forward

572
00:42:47,359 --> 00:42:52,640
um
and then the romeo party is three weeks

573
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,640
after the crystal party

574

born nine days before our library
district opened its doors so just to put

library that i'm aware of out here in

the southwestern suburban area that's
this age or older is joliet

or out of all the other libraries in our
consortium where the other than joliet

612
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:27,680
we're the oldest library so
in many ways we're the little library

613
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:31,680
they could because you know it might not
have been flashy or fancy for a lot of

614

would like to make any comments in
regards to jam well i certainly would

674
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:57,760
because as i said last time
in all the years she's been here

675
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:01,599
throughout everything even before i
served on this council there's one thing

676
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:05,520
that you could be sure of when you walk
through that front door you were always

677
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:08,400
treated with a smiling face you were
always helped

678
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:13,599
you were always given the best
information she never showed partiality

679
00:50:11,119 --> 00:50:18,640
to anyone she gave all the time if you
needed an answer she got you that answer

680
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:24,960
and she knew most of it off the top of
her head she was a one in a million and

681
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:30,480
not only was she a one in a million but
i consider her a good friend of mine and

682
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:35,040
i wish her a very very happy retirement
but she will be sorely missed and i want

683
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:39,760
to thank her for
doing such a wonderful job for 35 years

684
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:43,440
through everything that's gone on the
tumult throughout the city from

685
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:50,160
different things in coven and you name
it she was always consistently wonderful

686
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:55,839
and that is a rarity in any job to have
an employee work for you that long

687
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:59,040
and um she deserves an accolade for that
and representative natalie manley also

688
00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:03,680
had one
sent through the house for her she got

689
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:09,640
that at her party so i was very pleased
to see that so congratulations jan

690
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,640
good job

691
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:16,880
i'd like to congratulate jan
i know jan for a number of years i knew

692
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:20,960
her mother for a number of years
i was happy to vote for her when we

693
00:51:18,559 --> 00:51:24,559
hired her and it's nice to see her last
30 years she's the first one in the

694
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:29,680
department that last 30 years retired
from that department so it's an honor

695
00:51:26,319 --> 00:51:29,680
for her also she's number one

696
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:35,520
chan was the type of person that if you
ask her something she got it to you

697
00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:39,520
in
no time she had a wealth of knowledge in

698
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:45,040
her head and we're really going to miss
her and like tina said you know after

699
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:47,280
so many years people just become friends
and

700
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:53,280
certainly going to
miss the interface around here

701
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:57,680
i want to thank jan for all her years of
service she was always a

702
00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:01,760
reliable person that you could depend on
to help get you answers whatever it may

703
00:51:59,839 --> 00:52:05,839
have been that you needed to find out or
that

704
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:08,800
she was always there
i thought you know she was here before i

705
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,440
started and i thought she'd be here
after i left but i guess i don't lasted

706
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:16,559
her
surprised me you know

707
00:52:13,359 --> 00:52:20,079
but seriously thanks again jan
i'll echo what everyone

708
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:24,240

i thank you all take any questions if
you have them questions of city treasure

754
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:53,359
uh glenn i don't have a question so much
as um

755
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:58,000
i was speaking with lisa uh one day
about a new program that she

756
00:55:56,160 --> 00:56:03,119
put into place
that i guess catches bad checks before

757
00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:04,720
they get cashed correct
and

758
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:07,839
[Music]
it doesn't cost the city anything to run

759
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:11,599
this program and she told me the first
month that she ran it there was over

760
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:14,880
thirty one thousand dollars in checks
that were recovered

761
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:17,119
i
i think maybe a better explanation would

762
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:21,760
be
uh checks that were submitted yes not

763
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:25,440
cashed right but that saved us thirty
one thousand dollars

764
00:56:24,079 --> 00:56:28,640
assuming they would have went through
that's not

765
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:32,640
not but i i just think that's really
remarkable that she's you know jumped in

766
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:37,040
and done something like that to save
the city money and um

767
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:39,920
she should be applauded for that
that was there before and it was not

768
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:44,720
utilized
correct it was a uh

769
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:48,960
a while back it was client
yeah was chosen not to be used in this

770
00:56:47,359 --> 00:56:52,640
case it does put a little bit of extra
burden and extra step on the

771
00:56:50,799 --> 00:56:55,440
on the accounts payable and receivables
but

772
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:59,680
um that extra step can save us money
along the line wow and it's a free

773
00:56:57,599 --> 00:57:02,960
program it takes nothing but yeah
a little effort on our part but saving

774
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:06,880
money and probably should have been done
a long time ago but i i agree and

775
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:10,880
actually there's kudos for that thank
you yes thank you tina

776
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:15,839

in america in that respect

788
00:58:01,599 --> 00:58:10,000

months
as

792
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:28,559
early detection is really important um
look at the small details like losing

793
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:35,040
hair gaining weight there are little
things that we don't consider um

794
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:40,000
