good evening mayor and council i have

65
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,800
one agenda item in front of you this
evening

66
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,639
last week lane western we called them
out when well 12 would not stop failing

67
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:21,039
electrically
after diagnosis i determined the well

68
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,880
which has been in service in slate 2014
has

69
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,560
has
gone past its useful life

70
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,160
at this point the weld motor will need
to be pulled replaced and then

71
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:35,919
reinstalled with a new motor and pump
i am asking uh council to

72
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,360
waive bids and award the con contract to
lane western for not to exceed amount of

73
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:45,600
forty two thousand four hundred twenty
four dollars uh to pull

74
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:50,960
order new and replace a the oil pump and
motor as long as all the pipe going down

75
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:55,280
the hole sumo just presented second
all right a motion by alder person

76
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:59,199
oberlin seconded by alderman
albert for a resolution approving an

77
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,280
agreement between the city of cresthill
and lane christensen company for the

78
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,400
emergency pump removal inspection of
crest hill well

79
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:11,120
well pumped number 12. and again this
was discussed last week at uh our work

80
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,720
session also questions or comments yes
i'm just clarifying it says after

81
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:19,360
diagnosis it was determined that the
well had gone van you meant the well

82
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,199
pump the pop no the motor's actually bad
yeah not the well itself but correct

83
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,880
yeah i just wanted to make sure the well
is still producing water

84
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:31,520
yeah the wall still produces water it's
just the actual motor that moves the

85
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:35,360
pump thank you
you know if at one time we let the

86
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,039
public work directly have up to twenty
thousand dollars emergency cut didn't

87
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:43,199
have to ask nobody gave me the authority
to spend that money on a well so

88
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:47,280
something goes wrong i don't know we've
never changed that yet so you know

89
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:51,440
emergency we had right to spend twenty
thousand dollars approval

90
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:55,120
so if i you might keep that in mind done
yeah unfortunately unfortunately this is

91
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,120
twice that much right and that's
unfortunately now in today's economy uh

92
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:03,039
this is about as low as you're gonna get
for a well replacement so

93
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,160
uh unfortunately just to pull the well
it's probably 25. yeah so i don't think

94
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,680
there'd be anybody here argue about it
anyway you need a well you need the well

95
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,039
you know correct thank you
well you also need the waiver for the

96
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:17,039
weighing of this
and the waiver of the competitive

97
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:20,560
bidding is built into the resolution so
it just needs to be

98
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:25,120
so he needed it regardless yes

last year
we had rapid landscaping and for the

135
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:55,760
last couple of years we use rapid
landscaping a local property however

136
00:09:53,440 --> 00:10:00,240
they did not submit a proposal this year
um hawthorne

137
00:09:57,839 --> 00:10:03,279
is another local company and we did use
hawthorne

138
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:06,640
for several several years
in the past

139
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,200
and we've had no issues with them in
fact our

140
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,200
staff said rapid and hawthorne both did
an excellent job so before you is

141
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,079
accepting a proposal from hawthorne
landscaping you can see the pricing

142
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:21,360
below
uh regarding um

143
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:27,200
different types of lengths of grass 90
130 or 170.

144
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:30,480
and the bulk of this is uh passed on to
the is this for the homeowner ones one

145
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:35,120
yeah these are for the ones or
foreclosed homes or for

146
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:38,079
nuisances that we can't get corrected
immediately

147
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:42,320
we do go after them
either through uh

148
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:46,240
sending a bill we sent to the bank on a
foreclosed home whatever the situation

149
00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:50,480
is is this a one-year contract it's a
one-year contract is that

150
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:54,160
does it have to be only one year um it
doesn't have to be but we've done it's

151
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,560
just just the way it's been done we can
certainly try to negotiate a longer term

152
00:10:55,839 --> 00:11:02,800
absolutely i mean
it would seem like a lot less to have to

153
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:06,160
go through every year right you're gonna
what what i would suggest just because

154
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:10,399
we have to come back and re-amend the uh
this this contract um what i would

155
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:16,000
suggest is next year when we do it let's
look at one in a three-year right yeah

156
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:22,240
okay yeah we've had we've had both rapid
and hawthorne for several years

the second item as discussed in the
workshop last week

167
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:13,120
is a ordinance approving our 2000
adopting our 2000 the 2015 building code

168
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,839
just just one or two small changes not
really changes but just kind of an

169
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,760
update for the council
there is a link online

170
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:23,600
so any type of
resident and or

171
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:27,839
contractor can jump online and go right
to the link and we will also have a copy

172
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:32,000
available at the building department the
book is about that thick though so um

173
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,760
but we will let them come in
and send down in one of the rooms they

174
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:39,040
can look at if they choose typically
what we do is there's a question on a

175
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:42,639
specific
item we'll make copies of those three or

176
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:47,519
four pages and hand it to the
homeowner or resident or

177
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:51,920
contractor if they had just a specific
question on a

178
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:57,040
code or or whatever regarding building
but before you is the consider the

179
00:12:54,399 --> 00:13:01,040
passage of the 2015 building code
adoption

180
00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:05,360
so move mayor second
motion by alderman albert seconded by

181
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:11,279
alderman for shay
for an ordinance cementing title 15

182
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:14,800
chapter 15-04
of the code of ordinances of the city of

183
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,480
cresthill illinois this was discussed
last

184
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:22,800
last week march 14th at our work session
also questions or comments

185
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:27,839
roll call please i have a question you
this is still this still puts us like

186
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:34,000
two versions behind what the current
state law is it does and again our goal

187
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:38,160
is to get the 2021
passed before you or at least before you

188
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,560
for consideration within the next six
months we want to really go through that

189
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,959
because there's been a lot of changes
from the 15 code to the 22 code whereas

190
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:49,040
from the
last code that we've had to now there's

191
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:53,839
not quite that many changes so we want
to go through those changes from the 15

192
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:57,519
to the 22 and look at exceptions
uh that we don't like for example we

193
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,959
talked about last year you know last
meeting at the workshop is

194
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:04,880
in some of these codes they have
sprinklers for entire new houses

195
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,079
which which is prohibited from an
economic development perspective so so

196
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,040
things like that we want to go through
all the different codes and make sure we

197
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:13,920
have the exceptions
uh post they're listed and so you're

198
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,320
aware of
the different exceptions thank you i

199
00:14:15,839 --> 00:14:21,360
just personally i want to
be um

200
00:14:19,839 --> 00:14:24,720
cognitive that we're not going to drop
the ball on this i mean

201
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:28,959
you know this is probably something that
should have been addressed a long time

202
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,279
ago to be on 2015 so
six months i'm going to be waiting for

203
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:34,240
it
thank you though yes

204
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:43,680
okay roll call please joe cool yes

206
00:14:46,079 --> 00:14:53,680

and the last item before you is a zoning

207
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,880
map
update or amendments and typically we do

208
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:02,000
this every year so this is the 2022
voting map amendments i have maura

209
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:07,519
rigoni here
she will give a brief update on

210
00:15:05,199 --> 00:15:12,560
several changes or amendments that we
are requesting or asking for

211
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,000
in the new 2022 zoning map
laura thank you

212
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:20,480
um in accordance with state statute that
a municipality is to adopt the official

213
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,519
zoning map by march 31st of every
calendar year and this adoption reflects

214
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,079
those
map amendments that have occurred from

215
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:31,440
january to january 1st to december 31st
and that's what you have for you today

216
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:36,720
are the reflections we've had six
ordinances that were passed um

217
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:40,320
in the calendar year of 2021 which
resulted in maps amendments and those

218
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:44,720
are special uses which are reflected by
a star on our map as well as then some

219
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:48,079
rezonings that which is simply just to
change from the zoning classifications

220
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:52,480
that were previously approved by
ordinance this does not reflect anything

221
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:56,560
occurred within the last couple months
um those would be run reflected on the

222
00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,320
next one now those are a little small
i've already talked about getting larger

223
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:03,680
prints once we have the official adopted
date on there

224
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,720
if there's any specific questions that
you have regarding any of the rezonings

225
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,639
these
are all the ordinances that have been

226
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,639
before us

227
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,279

certain businesses when they open and
get good publicity

244
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,120

development community know that we're

290
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:32,159
piggyback
on what uh police chief ed clark uh had

harrowing experience for our police

292
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:42,559
officers last monday night
i will tell everyone that the assisting

293
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:50,080
departments from the surrounding
communities were unbelievable

294
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:54,480
um i certainly uh want to let everyone
know that i did reach out

295
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:58,000
to every one of the mayors
from joliet

296
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:02,720
from lockport

from plainfield

299
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:14,240
i spoke with each one of the mayors from
those communities

300
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:21,440
letting them know my gratitude for their
help and assistance on a very difficult

301
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:25,919
situation also reached out to the will
county sheriff's department

302
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:31,120
grundy county sheriff's department and
the illinois state police

00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:35,039
also to the lockport fire department
with um

304
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:40,240
fire chief connor
for all of his assistance that

305
00:21:37,679 --> 00:21:45,760
the men of the lockport township fire
department gave to us on that evening

306
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,240
want to extend our gratitude to them
also

307
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:52,320
so
my final comment would be that i am

308
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,440
going to ask
for every resident in the city of

309
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,039
cresthill
to

310
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:03,679
certainly keep in your prayers
for a quick recovery for our injured

311
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:07,840
police officer
it's a very dangerous job that the

312
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:13,760
police officers do today
so keep him in your prayers for a very

313
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:18,480
quick recovery and a return to work
with that i again extend my gratitude to

314
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:22,000
every one of the departments that
assisted us

315
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:26,240
everyone handled themselves in a very
professional manner

316
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:30,799
including the officers of the crest hill
police department handled themselves in

317
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:35,679
a very professional manner during a very
difficult time

318
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:40,159
with that i would uh entertain any
questions the city council may have of

319
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:43,760
the mayor i have a question ma'am well
it's not more a question i know it's a

320
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,640
comment but since the city administrator
is not here today and you're the mayor

321
00:22:45,679 --> 00:22:54,720
so
i would like once again to ask um

322
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:58,559
tonight um if we can have a meeting um
in regard the complete agenda for

323
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:03,760
staffing
for and the new goals and for the news

324
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:09,360
administrator what his plan is i
requested that several minutes ago

325
00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:12,559
i have not granted that wish
i see that we are in the process of

326
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,720
hiring
um many staff without the council

327
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:21,840
approval
i will not vote on any of these

328
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,120
hiring until we have a meeting i would
like to see the whole plan from city

329
00:23:23,679 --> 00:23:28,880
administrator
up to all the way to the bottom

330
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:33,760
so i'm asking that formally tonight
since i've asked for it and

331
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:38,000
it was not granted to me but if you want
me to vote i would like to be informed

332
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,039
since you're the mayor if you can relay
that message

333
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:44,880
i um
on one of the notes here i see uh we're

334
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:50,640
gonna hire
a human resource

335
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:54,400
we just eliminated that position
and we're gonna hire this position and

336
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:59,039
we're contacting
guf hr without the city council approval

337
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:03,360
and we don't even know what the cost on
that

338
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:06,320
so if somebody can uh
give me those answers i will appreciate

339
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,440
it
okay i will pass that along to him

340
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:13,360
tomorrow he hopefully he will be back
tomorrow if you have time maybe you can

341
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:17,039
stop in also
and have a conversation with him also

342
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:21,279
and i know that
he'd be more than glad to fill you in

343
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:26,159
for the record i um
second what she just said

344
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,760
okay anybody else
i'll go along with her i agree what she

345
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,760
said

346
00:24:30,159 --> 00:24:33,400
i concur

347
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:40,000
i agree with that as well i'd like to
have a little more information

348
00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:43,840
okay
any other questions no but i'll agree

349
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:48,400
with what everybody else is saying to
have a clear plan on where we're going

350
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,880
okay
all right

351
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:53,840
can i just throw some in there just at
that vision session that we're going to

352
00:24:52,159 --> 00:24:57,679
have on april 4th
um a lot of that will be discussed there

353
00:24:55,679 --> 00:25:01,600
too in that vision session so just i'm
just throwing my two cents in there um

354
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,279
however you want to deal with jim on
that but that's

355
00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:08,240
something that we can certainly add as a
as a clear vision which what's the

356
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,279
vision collect division between the
council and administrator i understand

357
00:25:10,159 --> 00:25:14,240
yeah i'll just throw that out no i
understand i understand your point but

358
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:17,200
then we should not hire nobody until
that vision then

359
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:21,679
and it's hardly fair
you know it's okay it's hard to have a

360
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:26,159
collective vision meeting with public
being there when we don't know

361
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:30,000
i i don't think it's fair to us that
we're not privy to this prior to that

362
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,799
once again we're going to be thrown out
there

363
00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:36,080
without any knowledge of what as at
least some of us without any knowledge

364
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:40,080
there may be some of us up here with
knowledge but i am not one of them and

365
00:25:38,159 --> 00:25:44,720
that's not right you know we are elected
to represent this city were elected to

366
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:48,000
make decisions and set policy and that's
very difficult to do when your hands are

367
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,679
tied and you don't know what's going on
so i agree with everything she said and

368
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,760
i will support that and i will not vote
for anything either until we have a

369
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:59,600
group discussion and i do mean group as
a collective council not individually

370
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,919

thank you mayor
um james cervantes he first appeared

407
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:07,919
before uh council back in january 10th
of 2022

408
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:13,039
looking to propose a special use for
automobiles and vehicle sales

409
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:18,960
in on tomas court's 1716 tomah's court
unit b this is zone m1 all auto sales or

410
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:23,360
any vehicle sales in the city presto
require a special use this is a little

411
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:28,240
unique as it's internet based so in
speaking to the applicant that

412
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:32,720
everything will be done in in interior
to the building uh that it would be the

413
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:37,279
anyone interested in a vehicle would see
it online contact the applicant and then

414
00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:40,240
everything would be done by appointment
this was a point of discussion as if

415
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:44,559
you've been out to tomorrow's court
there's a lot not a lot of parking for

416
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:48,000
the patrons as well as then for vehicles
to be stored there so that centered a

417
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,440
lot of the discussion that we had at the
planned commission meeting that was

418
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,760
period both february 9th and then was
also continued to march 9. a lot of

419
00:29:53,919 --> 00:30:00,720
discussion the plan commission did
outline conditions to ensure

420
00:29:58,399 --> 00:30:04,720
those were identifying as customer
parking only operations must be

421
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:09,600
conducted within the building
no outdoor display of vehicles or any

422
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:13,919
product of material for sale no outdoor
storage of vehicles products or

423
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:17,600
materials no display of any temporary
signs and so forth that which we would

424
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:21,120
see at a traditional auto
auto slot and then hours of operation

425
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,720
was discussion
at the plan commission at that time and

426
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:29,200
working with the applicant hours of
operation limited to 9 00 a.m to 9 p.m

427
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:32,720
monday through friday and 9 a.m to 5 p.m
on saturday a lot that's centered around

428
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:36,720
with the discussion of
test drives and so forth and that so

429
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:40,320
with this um
we are looking for a special use for

430
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:43,679
automobile and vehicle sales as the
applicant has indicated that there may

431
00:30:41,919 --> 00:30:47,919
be some automobiles there may be some
vehicles some trucks um as well as

432
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:52,640
potential the occasional semi as well as
on other recreational vehicles but again

433
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:56,559
all of that would be required based on
the conditions outlined and proposed by

434
00:30:54,720 --> 00:31:00,559
the plan commission
to be all within the building and

435
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:04,240
nothing outside the building as well
so there is an ordinance

436
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:09,679
before you this evening all of the
conditions that were just discussed are

437
00:31:06,559 --> 00:31:14,399
outlined as as attached to section three
of this ordinance

438
00:31:11,679 --> 00:31:18,000
okay are there any questions tomorrow
more i have one can i ask you a question

439
00:31:16,399 --> 00:31:21,600
okay see has somebody wants to buy a
vehicle the only time they can get down

440
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:24,720
on a sunday can you go down or
take care of the business on a sunday

441
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:28,320
for the people no my understanding isn't
that the applicant can speak more to it

442
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,600
that there are outside of our rules that
we've placed here is that there's

443
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:35,600
specific rules that he must adhere to
and comply with the state

444
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,880
such as no vehicle sales on sunday um so
there's certain regulations by having

445
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:42,880
this type of
operation um compared to like a

446
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:46,880
conventional sales lot that he must
adhere and comply with the trigger is is

447
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,080
that and i've got i've learned a lot
about auto sales in the state of

448
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:54,000
illinois than anything that triggers
once you sell five vehicles you must

449
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:58,799
have a dealer's license and so to go to
an auction and buy more than five

450
00:31:55,679 --> 00:32:03,279
vehicles in a calendar you need to have
such license which triggers the state to

451
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:07,039
look for compliance here
which then says that we have the special

452
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:10,240
use in line so there are outside of the
regulations that we placed here there

453
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:14,559
are still state regulations like no
sales a vehicle on sunday

454
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:18,000
if the car's paid for and everything he
can't give it to him that day that i

455
00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:21,600
would have the applicant speak to it but
the hours of operation are monday

456
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:24,880
through friday and saturday so he has
not had indicated any hours of operation

457
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,080
on sunday
okay okay whatever

458
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:32,559
yeah i know you can't sell a car on
sunday anyway

459
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:36,960
it's been around too long yes it is
more was there any uh stipulation on how

460
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:41,120
many vehicles
up to up to no there was not only

461
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:44,159
because it we we felt that it was
indoors and that there was nothing that

462
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:48,240
he that could
that would that was the restricting

463
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:52,399
factor um mr
sanchez that um would be able to speak

464
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:56,480
more to that uh he was restricting that
possibly

465
00:32:53,600 --> 00:33:00,000
what was it like five five about five
only because since they are indoors that

466
00:32:58,399 --> 00:33:04,320
there's also state requirements to be
able to move around the move around the

467
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:07,279
vehicles as well while in there
he was noting at the public hearing that

468
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:11,039
there's strict
inspections that will be done through

469
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:16,559
the state that that restrict that as
well so a five is about all you could

470
00:33:13,919 --> 00:33:20,559
comfortably fit here
okay hang on hang on hang on ask the

471
00:33:18,399 --> 00:33:24,320
questions tomorrow right now
so five

472
00:33:22,159 --> 00:33:27,919
five minutes inside
five was what was limited inside um

473
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,519
there was discussion i believe at the
plant commission about do we restrict

474
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:35,679
that number but being inside and knowing
that that's why we were very

475
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:38,880
pointed on saying nothing outside so
depending on the size of the vehicles

476
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:42,399
that he had you know if there was that
you know occasional stomach that that

477
00:33:40,159 --> 00:33:46,799
might take up that it may not be be that
oh okay thank you

478
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:50,480
maura i just wanted to say thank you and
to the the plan commissioners for coming

479
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:54,640
up with these uh these list of
stipulations i know that

480
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,760
when we met as a council we would want
to have some of those so it's in place

481
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:02,320
thank you
okay any other questions of maura

482
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:06,640
okay thanks maura thank you
jim cervantes to the podium please

483
00:34:04,399 --> 00:34:10,000
anything maybe you can answer the two
questions that were out there first jim

484
00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:14,879
and then anything else you'd like to add
in regards to this request

485
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:20,639
yeah as far as sunday
it it still is a law you can't do it and

486
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:28,000
i believe part of that rule is even
delivery of a vehicle you can't do it um

487
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:31,359
besides that i got a wife and young kids
i don't even want to do it so i'm

488
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:35,119
perfectly happy
with that

489
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,879
and that's why it's also going to be by
appointment only there there

490
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:43,520
there may be days
or weeks that go by where nobody comes

491
00:34:41,119 --> 00:34:48,320
you know and um so it works better for
me by making an appointment only that it

492
00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:52,320
has to work for the buyers and me you
know so it comes together and

493
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:55,440
i wanted to limit it
um

494
00:34:53,599 --> 00:35:00,560
you know like nine to five
on on saturday so it isn't you know if

495
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:05,440
somebody can't come until six o'clock
sorry you gotta abide by the rules you

496
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:10,400
know make another time
okay

497
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:15,920
as far as the the amount
it depends on at the time

498
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,640
we are limited to and what the state
requires is that

499
00:35:17,839 --> 00:35:23,200
they
it has to also um besides the storage of

500
00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:27,440
the vehicle inside it has to act like a
showroom also so there has to be room

501
00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:31,920
for the people um that make the
appointment to come in walk around check

502
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:35,680
the car you know look all around and
stuff so you can't

503
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:39,760
jam pack everything in there and have no
walking or movement of it

504
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:43,680
um but like i said maybe one day go to
an auction and there's a great deal on a

505
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:48,960
semi um
the the just the tractor that could

506
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:53,599
limit that'll take up two spots so
until that vehicle is brought in and

507
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:59,920
sold that might limit it down to three
vehicles inside the shop you know or

508
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:04,880
um say i pick up three motorcycles that
that takes up one parking spot you know

509
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:08,160
so there's not an exact number on it but
we are limited to what we could have

510
00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:12,160
inside
or you could get six clown cars yeah

511
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:15,040
yeah it'd be great if they came with the
clowns too

512
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:19,760
you know
okay anything else you'd like to add

513
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,400
to this conversation no pretty much
everything's covered

514
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:27,280
okay does anybody else have any
questions for jim you will be able to

515
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:29,440
fit a semi inside just just uh just the
track

516
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:35,680
right yeah just uh
threatening and and that it's going to

517
00:36:33,839 --> 00:36:39,280
have to be a real good deal for
something like that i've already i've

518
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:44,320
already went down that path and been
burned with semi so it's it's just

519
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:48,880
an option
you know um if something fantastic comes

520
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:53,200
along that i think i can make a great
dollar on then it's possible but

521
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:57,599
chances are slim
okay thank you anybody else for jeff

522
00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:01,680
and just and just for the record there
wasn't any resonance at either of the

523
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:05,920
two meetings to speak for or against
this

524
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,920
is that correct moment

525
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:13,359
jim stay there stay there for him that
is correct there were no residents who

526
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:17,280
did appear i did have um two phone calls
one was from the forest preserve uh

527
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:21,359
because they're adjacent to not this
particular property but the development

528
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:24,880
in general and had some questions
due to some things that were happening

529
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:29,280
there so we had them in contact we did
have one call from a resident um i

530
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,640
explained the process um and is noting
that they were all indoors and the

531
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:36,400
restriction would be that they said that
they did not have any concerns great

532
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:41,599
thank you
okay jim um

533
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:46,320

human equation and lack of communication
it's already a done deal i have my date

00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,400
pretty safe you know

634
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:09,280
got two tickets and
i was a scout master i always taught my

635
00:45:07,359 --> 00:45:13,599
boys if you were wrong you got to man up
to it but if you're right you better

636
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,560
stick to your guns nobody else will
so

637
00:45:14,319 --> 00:45:21,920
i i call the
national weather bureau it's in

638
00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:25,680
for our region it's in romeoville
and i forgot the names of the

639
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:30,079
gentleman's over there
in my books

640
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:33,440
i said how much snow did cresthill er
receive if i'm wrong i'm gonna pay the

641
00:45:32,319 --> 00:45:37,200
fine
he says well we got a prop

642
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:41,200
we don't know
ah well

643
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:46,880
okay you don't know
he says all the other cities have

644
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:51,520
a weather watcher except crest hill
if you want to become one you get online

645
00:45:49,119 --> 00:45:54,960
you're certified and you call it it and
then we'll know

646
00:45:53,119 --> 00:45:58,480
charlotte has one all the surrounding
areas

647
00:45:56,079 --> 00:46:01,680
so wow well i got a ticket
he said well you know do your homework

648
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:07,599
and
maybe you can resolve it so i

649
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:11,359
i went to the powers of command i talked
to the sergeant i forgot his name

650
00:46:11,839 --> 00:46:15,839
he says
i really don't want to take the ticket

651
00:46:14,319 --> 00:46:20,880
off because it's unfair to the officer
that wrote it i was leaving

652
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:24,000
that next day to for a seminar in
arizona

653
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:29,040
i said i'll keep my phone on well the
officer i think was officer brown didn't

654
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:33,520
contact me for like a week so i came
back after the seminar and

655
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,760
went to the city hall
and

656
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:44,000
talked to him and he says well i says
since we don't have a weather watcher

657
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:47,520
and and the weather bureau really didn't
know how much snow we got

658
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,119
you know can you give me a warning or
whatever because well

659
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:56,880
i put my ruler
on the ground

660
00:46:53,280 --> 00:47:00,880
i said but you can't do that you know he
said well he did it and well we got two

661
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:04,400
inches
well again

662
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:09,440
i got my thing over there
my wife told me not to bring anybody

663
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:12,160
you know you can't do it on the ground
you know you have to have a weather

664
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:17,359
board and
let me just get this here

665
00:47:15,119 --> 00:47:20,880
i got to bring all this to the state's
attorney

666
00:47:19,359 --> 00:47:24,400
i'm embarrassed
to even show up there

667
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:28,480
there's more problems in the world than
this but it's a matter of principle this

668
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:34,000
is what
here i have to have this back that you

669
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:37,119
have to measure the snow every six hours
and you have to have a weather board you

670
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:42,079
have to have two of them has to be in
white and you really shouldn't have a

671
00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:46,480
ruler you could but they prefer
a specialized stick for it it's an

672
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,720
instrument that they make special for
that

673
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:56,000
it's already done deal but i just wanted
to make it

674
00:47:53,839 --> 00:48:00,000
you know known that you don't have a
weather watcher i talked to mark

675
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,960
and he said
he went out there and he has a

676
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:07,200
weatherboard
and it was two inches but he didn't call

677
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:10,800
it and you have to call in and make it
more official

678
00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:14,720
you know do you really have to
probably not

679
00:48:12,079 --> 00:48:18,960
but it's going to come a case like mine
again if i was wrong if we had four

680
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:22,240
inches i'm willing to pay
but you know don't

681
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,440
you know
um

682
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:29,359
but i'll have my day in court now
it's i go um may 5th and

683
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:33,280
again
i probably have a jury to try one it's

684
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:36,960
really silly but
all the officer had to do is say you

685
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:42,240
know since we don't have a weather
watcher official one i'll give you a

686
00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:47,760
warning and i'll do it again but
he wouldn't do nothing about it but

687
00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:52,880
you know so that's just my
case you know but okay well thank you

688
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:56,960

like you know you've got everything in

690
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:08,559

um head guy up at the bureau and he's

me finish please if the judge rules in
