20
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:31,920
» Few announcements this evening. uh
council met in executive session prior

21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,759
to tonight's meeting and I will since I
was not an attendant at executive I'll

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:41,200
yield either to our solicitor or to our
vice president just to give us a brief

23
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:46,720
on which items of
topics were discussed in executive

24
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:53,520
» uh yes executive session uh matters of
litigation or potential litigation uh

25
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,520
personnel and real estate were discussed

26
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,640
Considering that we've got a smaller
crowd than we had yesterday, I will

27
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:11,599
forgo the reading of the review of the
public meeting, the quorum.

28
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:17,760
And I will introduce to council again
uh our planner from CH Planning, uh

29
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:24,800
Barbara Kelly. and I asked her to attend
this evening to give us a quick update

30
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:30,720
on the work that CH planning uh has done
to date. And I also just kind of want to

31
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:36,800
remind council that uh per their
proposal will be working in five

32
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:41,599
separate tasks. Uh task one would be
existing condition evaluation.

33
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:47,280
Task two would be board and leadership
engagement. Task three would be public

34
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:51,680
and staff engagement. Task four would be
the development of the strategic and

35
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:55,760
comp plan and task five would be the
adoption of such strategic and comp

36
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,720
plan. And I don't want to steal too much
of Miss Kelly's thunder. However, I do

37
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:06,879
believe that she is working on task one
and task two concurrently. Uh so so task

38
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,360
two being board and leadership
engagement. Uh what I would like uh the

39
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,400
members of council [snorts] to do is
make sure that you take an opportunity

40
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:22,720
to introduce yourself. Again, I think
most of you have met Barbara before, but

41
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:29,920
she has been doing a series of 101 ones
uh kind of to discuss what is important

42
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:35,120
uh for the members of the board and how
they see the future of Eddie Stone

43
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:38,319
unfolding. And without further ado, I'll
yield the floor to Miss Kelly. Thank

44
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,840
you.
>> Can everybody hear me?

45
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:46,159
» Yes.
>> Okay, great.

46
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:49,760
Um, yeah, I think I've been here a few
times, so I think you you know what's

47
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,640
going on, what's going to happen. But I
do want to go over and ask a couple

48
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:59,280
things. Now, uh, one of the things that,
uh, our staff does existing conditions.

49
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:04,080
Existing conditions are what's your comp
plan now? What's your strategic plan?

50
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:07,040
Who's here? What's your demographics?
What is your zoning? What's your

51
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:11,519
planning? What's your
all that stuff. We get it together and

52
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:15,120
we put it on boards for the public to
look at and we say, "Hey, what do you

53
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:20,160
want?" You know, what do you see in the
future? Some things are, I mean, pretty

54
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:25,680
good and some things are like, you know,
we want a golf cart right next to the

55
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:30,880
school, you know, that So, we try really
hard to listen and figure out, you know,

56
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:37,040
what's in the best interest of the
township. I'm sorry.

57
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:41,680
Um, the other thing is that
We do that

58
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:46,160
through, you know, other things like
planning commission.

59
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:51,919
But when we get to the point where we
need your help, we hopefully you can

60
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:58,880
identify um who would that be? Who would
be the person to um talk to the person

61
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:03,199
to talk to recation? And I'm sure I know
that already, but I just want to make

62
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:08,160
sure. I don't want to drop any feathers
on this person is this. No, I want to

63
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:13,600
make sure the biggest thing is before I
even um start doing the board and

64
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:18,639
leadership engagement is that I need a
point point of contact person. U it

65
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:24,639
could be two people one person but I
need one person to say hey I need you

66
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:29,360
know this is what we're doing is we need
the only reason why I want one person

67
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:33,759
because if one person can actually speak
for everybody that's fine but it's like

68
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:38,479
if five people are telling me what to do
and they're all different it's going to

69
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:42,400
delay the process. Does that make sense?
So, um, it's really important that that

70
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:47,199
point of contact person could be one or
two, but that one point of contact

71
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:51,738
person is someone that you feel that
would represent the group. Okay, if that

72
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:55,360
makes sense.
[clears throat] Yeah. Um, board and

73
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:03,440
leadership engagement. I'm trying to do
that now. Um, I we just got together.

74
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:10,000
Um, the Do you have the original
contract sign? Okay. Okay. So, we're

75
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:13,440
trying to get um
what do you want to do? Do you want to

76
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:18,240
do and I like doing it individually, but
I have kind of done that a little bit

77
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:23,039
beforehand. So, do you want to do two
members or three members or two members

78
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:27,600
together? Two members together or things
like that. So, what are the thing that's

79
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:32,960
one of the things that I like to do is
each member. But if you don't want to do

80
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:38,639
that, which is fine, I could do it to
2011. I know the sunshine

81
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:43,360
You can't do majority meeting. Some
people like doing it two or three.

82
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,759
Sorry. Um um together and some people
like to do it individually. I could do

83
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:54,560
it Zoom or I can do it in person. I'm
okay either way. Okay. Um also

84
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:58,160
one of the things that I want to know is
who are the people in the community and

85
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:02,560
who are the people on staff that you
want me to interview? Of course I think

86
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:08,240
you know I went with the chief. He was
the longest member here. Um, so I

87
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:12,479
figured it was important to hear way
back history, you know what I mean? It

88
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:20,800
was just history stuff. So that was kind
of and it was fixed. It was like just so

89
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:25,759
um hopefully um I'll have the
opportunity within the next couple weeks

90
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:30,720
to do that. Um if you want I can stay
tonight and set up meeting or if you

91
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:35,919
want I can call you. Uh I can give you
my number you can call me. Um or we can

92
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:41,199
go to point of contact whichever you
like. A lot of people do it different.

93
00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:45,120
So I don't want to bring this is how I
do it. I can tell you how I do it but

94
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:50,319
I'd rather know how you want to do it.
Okay. And we can make that decision.

95
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,599
The other thing is public and staff
engagement. Which staff do you want me

96
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:59,360
to interview? That's important for me to
interview. What do you think? Okay.

97
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,680
That's your point of contact will tell
me that.

98
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:07,325
to me. That's fine. Um, and do you want
when you [clears throat] talk about the

99
00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:10,000
public? Let's talk about the public.
[laughter]

100
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:13,680
I thought there was going to be more
than THE PUBLIC HERE. EVERY TIME I CAME,

101
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:19,120
there was like HUNDREDS OF [laughter]
LIKE, WOW, THIS IS CRAZY. THE ONE TIME I

102
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:23,840
WENT, RIGHT? OKAY. And so, I'd like to
have you because you know the community.

103
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,840
I'd like to know who in the community is
really important to interview. Okay.

104
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:33,360
Right? Because it's really important to
to know you know them. I don't you know

105
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:38,640
I know a few people but it's important
that you tell me who are the people to

106
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:44,560
really get to know who they are. Okay.
Um I also like to do focus groups and

107
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:49,839
focus groups would be your business.
So, um your businesses um like two or

108
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:55,680
three businesses that you think is
really important for me to um know um

109
00:08:52,800 --> 00:09:00,959
and I can identify you can identify that
if you want me to. Uh and then also your

110
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:07,440
recreation your recreation group would
be very good. Uh your I think you have a

111
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:11,760
zoning group I think now. Um, so yours
or economic development, one of the one

112
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:15,600
or the other. And then any other group,
you have a religious organization, you

113
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:20,320
have, you know, you have a group that
does a lot of of community service, you

114
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:24,720
have a nonprofit group, any of those,
you identify five of them, that would be

115
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:28,240
great. Okay, you can identify five and I
may go up to, you know, seven or eight,

116
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:32,560
but if you can identify five of them,
that would be wonderful. Okay? And you

117
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,880
can, one of you or two of you can be
involved in that. I have no problem with

118
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:43,760
that.
Well, the residents I would say it

119
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:50,480
depends and and I'm I'm open. Okay. I'm
open. I usually do around five to seven,

120
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:55,040
but some I did 20. Okay. Depending on Oh
my god, you have 10 people. You're

121
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:58,480
really good. You really want them to be
I don't mind that. And you could do it

122
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:03,680
as a whole group and that would be good
too because then they can, you know, go

123
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:07,279
off each other, you know, unless
this way. Unless you want this group and

124
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:14,160
then this group to go there, you know,
sometimes like that. So I like to do

125
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:18,560
between five and 10. Okay. Um, now
remember, we have public meetings. So

126
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:22,480
the entire community is involved.
There's like three or four of them.

127
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:26,720
Okay. So everybody's involved and we
actually do a survey to the entire

128
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:31,120
community including the businesses,
including developers and things like

129
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:34,720
that. So that's really we do a survey to
everyone.

130
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,600
a good website or you don't have a good
website.

131
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,920
» You don't. Okay.
>> It's a matter of opinion. [laughter]

132
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,880
It's a matter of opinion. Some people
are just

133
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,920
» fine with the website [laughter] we
currently have.

134
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,360
» Other people want to see a complete and
total revamp,

135
00:10:48,959 --> 00:10:54,640
» okay,
>> of the website we currently have.

136
00:10:51,120 --> 00:11:00,320
» Okay. So, we can there's um what I did
uh I did this during COVID. We called

137
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:06,560
them chai chats. And basically what we
did was we actually did chai um chats uh

138
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,680
zoomed. So we did zoom like topics and
stuff. U and that was great. Um but that

139
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:15,200
was after that was kind of during and
after the survey. Okay. But with the

140
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:18,560
survey you really want to get them out.
You really want to get them out. Maybe

141
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,560
the fire company and the police. Sorry
about this one. Didn't tell you guys but

142
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,959
the fire company the police usually get
to see people. They can you know um send

143
00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:32,000
it out. We'll actually create a little
um Q code a QR code and you can put it

144
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:37,040
on different businesses. You can do it
in this the post office. You can do it.

145
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:41,920
There's a your there's a lot of places
to do it. Your school um the uh we

146
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,640
actually get the school involved. We
talk to the school districts and get

147
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:53,519
them involved too. So we really do go
above and beyond to get the people I

148
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:57,839
knowing that it's there. Okay. Um, and
the other thing is where do you want it?

149
00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:02,079
Okay, sometimes people want it at the
township building, some people don't.

150
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:06,959
So, it's up to you. Do you want to do it
at a school district or a school? You

151
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,480
want to do it at a a meeting room that
has a really nice conference room. Uh,

152
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,760
you want to do it at a nonprofits. Uh,
we've done three or four of them at a

153
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,320
nonprofit, which is nice because it's
very neutral and very welcoming, that

154
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:21,680
type of thing. So, you can think of a
place that you want to do that. And you

155
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,800
could do three or four. I think there's
three of them I think in there or four

156
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:30,160
of them, but I think three are really
important. Um, so

157
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:34,399
identify really good places to do that
because that you'll get more people.

158
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:37,200
Okay? And we'll talk about the times for
them because you don't want all of them

159
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,320
the same time. You don't want all of
them during the day. You don't want them

160
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:44,880
all during night. You might want to do
one on the weekend. Okay? So, you want

161
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:50,399
to get it where you get the most people.
The especially the first one. The first

162
00:12:47,839 --> 00:12:53,760
one is like this is who we are. you
know, this is our existing conditions

163
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:58,079
and what do you want to see? That's the
real big. Okay, second one's pretty

164
00:12:56,079 --> 00:13:02,320
good, too. But that first one, you want
people there. Okay, does that make

165
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:09,040
sense? I mean, because you really want a
lot more information up front than later

166
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:13,920
on. Um, but we do adjust. Okay, and
that's the um public and staff um

167
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:18,560
engagement. We do a lot more things with
the public. Um, and we can get to that,

168
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:24,480
you know, a little bit later, I think.
Um, I'm trying to give you things to

169
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,320
baby steps of I really need this. I need
the point of contact. I need um, think

170
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,600
about the places to have a public
meeting. Think about what community

171
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,720
groups that you want me to meet. Think
about what leaders in the community you

172
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:38,639
want. And they don't have to be a
leader. They can be somebody who is that

173
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:44,639
you're like really wealth of
information. Okay. Um, think of your

174
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:49,279
staff. Um, and do you and the other
thing is what are some of the developers

175
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:54,079
or businesses in the area? That's really
important because that's the

176
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:58,320
organization. Um, we're thinking the
business use registration association.

177
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:04,240
Who would be really good with that?
That's because that's income for you.

178
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,360
Um, recreation recreation because that's
always something that people want.

179
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:15,279
Um and then we get into the plan. Once
we get all that information, then we

180
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:20,560
start identifying what you want your
comp plan and what you want

181
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:24,720
strategically. Okay. Uh your infra the
also during your sorry during your

182
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:32,240
existing commissions we talk about your
existing um infrastructure and that's

183
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:36,480
everything police fire staff roads
um storm water all that. And then when

184
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:40,959
you're doing your comp plan, your
strategic plan, it's really getting into

185
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:45,680
okay, what what realistically can you
do? What can you see? What do you want

186
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:50,079
as a community? What do you want to see?
And then we also I like putting together

187
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:54,240
the funding sources. Here are some of
the funding sources for each one of

188
00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:59,680
those things that you want to do. Okay,
does that make sense? And then also the

189
00:14:57,199 --> 00:15:02,639
um toward the end is like your
ordinances and things like that because

190
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:07,680
then you don't know what you want yet
until that. Does that make sense?

191
00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:11,839
» Uh, and then your adoption. And then
that's the biggest thing, right? When

192
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:14,480
you get the community up again back in
and say, "Hey, this is what we're doing.

193
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:18,800
This is what we're going to adopt." And
then you it makes it a lot easier for

194
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:24,480
you to adopt when everybody knows what
you're adopting. Um, we're very very

195
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:29,199
transparent. Uh we want to have
everybody involved all stakeholders and

196
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:34,240
please tell me any unique stakeholders I
didn't mention that are important

197
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:38,000
because um you know your community. Does
that make sense?

198
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:43,920
» Does it [laughter]
does anybody have any questions?

199
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:48,959
» Wow. No question.
>> Well, I have a few questions letting

200
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:54,160
everybody else have the opportunity to
>> Okay. So, I know you've been working on

201
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:58,399
a timeline from start to finish
>> and if memory serves, I think this is

202
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:02,240
kind of a
14, 16, 18 month process.

203
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:07,199
» Yeah.
>> Um, so, so just to kind of give the

204
00:16:04,959 --> 00:16:10,720
board an idea of, you know, how this is
all going to unfold. Um, you know, we

205
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:15,360
certainly are going to get started in
26.

206
00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:22,160
um a bulk of the of the work is going to
be done in calendar year 27, but we'll

207
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:27,600
also be pushing into 28 um for you know
getting the final plan together, getting

208
00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:32,480
the adoption uh taken care of. So uh and
I say these things from from a budgeting

209
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:37,519
standpoint. Um what I can do is I can
share with uh Franker Simpson the

210
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:41,360
proposed
um

211
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:47,279
timeline for the different tasks and and
and the budgeted dollars that CH

212
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:51,759
planning has put together for
>> uh completion of each of those tasks. So

213
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:55,519
it it's certainly an expenditure that I
think we've had this discussion before

214
00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:00,160
that is going to be spread out. It's not
going to be a write a one lumpsum check,

215
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:05,439
» right? Yeah. You don't want to do that.
I now you do it as we do the work. Okay?

216
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:09,280
We don't want to you don't pay us ahead
of time. You pay us after. So when we're

217
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,520
done
part of the job, then you pay us. So

218
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:17,600
then you and you have to sign off on it.
Okay? Um the point of contact has to

219
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:21,760
sign off on it. And it's important
because I want to make sure it's done.

220
00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:27,120
Like I want to make sure that you're
happy with the work before you know you

221
00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:29,840
sign off on it to get paid because I
really don't want to do later on say,

222
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:34,799
"Oh, wait a minute. We didn't do that.
No, no, no, no. Let's do it. Let's get

223
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:38,400
it done. And now there's certain things.
I'll give you an example. There are

224
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:43,520
certain things that you may something
has to be delayed because of of another

225
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:47,662
person like a PEDOT didn't come to a
meeting. So, we have to meet with

226
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:51,039
Pendot, you know, in two months. Okay, I
[clears throat] get that. You know, that

227
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,960
type of thing. But pretty much we get
paid for what we do.

228
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:59,039
» That make sense? And it's in the
proposal how we get paid, too. So it's

229
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,480
on that
>> the series of public workshops.

230
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,520
» Yes.
>> How many are you anticipating?

231
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,880
» I think it's four.
>> Four,

232
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:15,520
» I think. So it's in the um I should have
uh Yeah, I think it's four. But we may

233
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:18,000
do one more because of a couple
projects, but I'm not sure.

234
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,520
» Possibly.
>> Possibly five, probably four. But

235
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,720
remember, we're doing a lot of meetings
in between,

236
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,280
» right?
>> See? Okay, let me explain something. You

237
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:33,120
have four public meetings which is
there's big meetings every day but we I

238
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:38,240
think we build in monthly uh meetings
with the steering committee. I like

239
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:42,080
having a steering committee. So you need
to figure out who you want on the

240
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:48,799
steering committee. I know you can have
three board members because you of the

241
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:53,360
of the um executive session. I'm sorry.
>> Yes. Thank you. Um, so you would do two

242
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,520
and then
>> or you need four to be a four.

243
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:02,880
» Yeah, four. Okay, thank you. Some three,
some four. Some uh So you could do

244
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:06,480
three. Now you could you could switch
them. Okay. Um you could do like

245
00:19:05,608 --> 00:19:10,799
[clears throat] you remember we're doing
a comp plan and a strategic plan. So

246
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:15,919
anybody's ever planning and economic
development and that will go to those

247
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:19,039
meetings and then the strategic plan you
would want to do the economic

248
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:23,200
development and recreation that's it. So
you can take they don't have to be the

249
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:30,080
same people. I like it being the same
people but because of the you know the

250
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:33,600
rules you could I can't go you can go
back. Does that make sense? And we'll

251
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:38,559
give you the topics of what we're doing
each month. Um and I think I broke them

252
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:42,559
down where um some of them were the comp
plan and some of them were strategic

253
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:46,799
plan. Okay. Whoever's whoever the
finance should be institute whoever is

254
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:52,400
your account plan should be your
planning.

255
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:55,760
It makes sense. Okay. Um but it's nice.
>> So when would you recommend the first

256
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,480
public workshop?
>> The public the public meeting or the

257
00:19:57,679 --> 00:20:01,520
public uh
>> the first public the first public

258
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:06,000
workshop for
>> the public the public. Okay.

259
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,600
» Because I would think that that first
one's probably more of an information

260
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:13,679
gathering session.
>> Yeah. We have to do the existing

261
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:20,720
conditions um done. We need to have your
comp plan. I want to ask you a question

262
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:27,520
before I I answer that question. Is that
when your comp plan is with a m your

263
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:34,000
multi- comprehensive plan? Am I correct?
>> I believe that is yes.

264
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:39,080
» Yes. So did you hopefully did you tell
them that you're going to be doing a

265
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,080
comp?

266
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,520
I guess the answer is no. The other
townships that you did the multilan

267
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:46,480
with.
>> We did not reach out to the other

268
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,960
townships. However, we did reach out to
Delaware County Planning.

269
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,320
» Okay. So,
>> and my understanding is Delaware County

270
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:58,080
Planning was the one that steered the
multi-unal plan.

271
00:20:54,559 --> 00:21:02,320
» Oh, okay. Is that true? Okay. Okay. So,
Okay.

272
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:10,919
I have a question then. A followup
question is was it Ridley Ridley

273
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:10,919
Township and who else? I don't really

274
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:22,120
» really really township and two others
really township has their own comp plan

275
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:22,120
right they have their own complaint

276
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:30,559
yeah okay so yeah okay so uh they didn't
come back did I guess you wouldn't know

277
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:34,320
but did they contact you probably not
okay so that's going to delay a little

278
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:37,440
bit of the first meeting but I'm going
to do that now okay because I didn't

279
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:42,240
know if you did or
If not, I'm going to go to the um

280
00:21:39,679 --> 00:21:47,840
planning department with Del County and
Ridley Township. And there's another one

281
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:52,559
right here. Is it?
No. Okay. It's one other. I think it's

282
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:58,799
four. So, I'll go to those other four
and say, "Hey, we're we're doing a comp

283
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:06,640
plan. The the Del County knows about it.
Um I and I know I'm sure it's the

284
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:11,919
township really." So, um, and I'll say,
"Can I have your plans?" Because we need

285
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:16,000
to look at their plans because
if they have their own plan, hopefully

286
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:21,200
it's not multi municipal, but it's your
plan. You see what I'm saying?

287
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:27,360
» So, I kind of need to know that. Okay.
Because um I didn't see one just for

288
00:22:23,919 --> 00:22:32,320
you. So, that's why. Okay. So, to answer
your question, I will answer your

289
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:36,720
question. So probably
we're in September now basically. Okay.

290
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:42,400
September. So you're talking probably
October. In October.

291
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:47,200
Okay. Probably mid October because that
will give us a really good indication

292
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:52,960
through a little bit of survey a little
existing all the existing positions will

293
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:57,360
be done and a little survey.
Okay. All your meetings will be done.

294
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:02,880
The staff people that you want
identified will be done and some

295
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:09,559
steering commission. I need that
steering committee started before

296
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,559
the first

297
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:20,240
question. Does that answer your
question?

298
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:24,880
» Any other questions?
When can I get the point of contact?

299
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:33,039
When can I get [clears throat] when can
I get leaders identify identified? As

300
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:38,159
soon as you get me that I can
that's the biggest four things right now

301
00:23:35,679 --> 00:23:46,840
and I will work with somebody on the
comp person who I would work with on

302
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:46,840
identifying the comp

303
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:56,960
who can I say questions.
>> So my recommendation on you know point

304
00:23:53,760 --> 00:24:00,799
of contact is our manager.
>> Okay.

305
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:06,400
And the reason I say that is because,
you know, not only is it going to be

306
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,640
conversations multi-unip is that, you
know, she's the one that's about to make

307
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:16,080
phone calls to her counterparts in the
neighboring municipalities to explain

308
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:19,679
what's happening, but but also she's the
one that would be able to coordinate,

309
00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:25,600
you know, with, you know, your
interaction with individual members of

310
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:29,440
council and the mayor and and the staff
since she's in charge of

311
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:38,320
So, I would I would put her as the point
of contact for the comp plan itself. Um,

312
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:42,080
in regards to a steering committee, what
I'd like to do is stronghold the rest of

313
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:49,200
the
council and and come up with some folks

314
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:52,559
that were willing to step up and and and
start the steering committee process.

315
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:57,679
When you say steering committee, I'm
assuming that that would be a

316
00:24:55,039 --> 00:25:01,360
combination of members of council,
possibly me members of the public,

317
00:24:59,919 --> 00:25:09,039
possibly members of the business
community, and would we also possibly

318
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:15,200
engage some professional staff?
>> You can. Yes, you absolutely can. The

319
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:19,720
staff um is not any part of the Yes, you
can.

320
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,720
» Yes.

321
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,880
Why not?

322
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:34,640
» Economic development is is a portion of
of the overall comp plan. We're dealing

323
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:41,320
every committee that we have as a
council have to be incorporated into

324
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,320
this comprehensive plan.

325
00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:49,520
» Oh yeah, it could be steering committee.
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. I mean,

326
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:52,240
I'm not saying yes, they can be part of
the

327
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:58,640
Yes, absolutely.
>> I think we need two people.

328
00:25:56,159 --> 00:26:02,080
» Okay. I said one or two.
>> Okay.

329
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:05,240
» That's fine. I mean,
>> doesn't matter.

330
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:10,799
» Okay, that's fine. I just That's why I
always say one and two. I never want to

331
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:15,520
get myself in trouble by saying one, but
one or two is fine as long as they're

332
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:22,720
okay together and I won't get
conflicting forms. Okay. Okay. So, If

333
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:26,640
you can give me the point of contact or
two point of contacts, if you can give

334
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:31,600
me anyone that you feel that's on the
steering committee

335
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:35,679
steering committee and
um

336
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:44,400
if I have any questions about the plan
or infrastructure, I can I get to one of

337
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:48,240
those two people. Okay. Um I need times.
Do you want me to call you? You to call

338
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:52,080

set those

339
00:26:49,679 --> 00:26:57,360
or do you want to do it tonight? Okay.
Um, and what leaders in the community do

340
00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:01,039
you want me to individually or together
meet?

341
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:04,080
And and what I mean by leaders in the
community could be business, it could be

342
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:09,440
nonprofit, could be religious, could be,
you know, leaders as a whole. Okay. and

343
00:27:07,919 --> 00:27:13,760
um
and the steering committee. I don't and

survey.

00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,320
Yeah. Yeah.
>> I got four I got some people. Great.

351
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:47,679
» So, I [laughter] I'll ask the board this
question is the the next step is going

352
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:51,679
to be is to have Barbara meet
individually with members of the board.

353
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:55,760
How do you prefer? Do you want me to

499
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:01,599
» Council, I'll give you the abbreviated
version. that's acceptable to the

500
00:40:59,839 --> 00:41:08,640
council. You do have the packet from
Commonwealth Code Enforcement for

501
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:13,359
um July uh 2026.
It's a letter dated August 10th from

502
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:19,920
Anthony Tartaglia
addressed to the president.

503
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:24,960
During the month of July, there was 14
rental inspections, seven real estate

504
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:30,560
transfer inspections,
seven rental reinspections,

505
00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:35,079
and three
real estate sale reinspections,

506
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:44,599
five residential contractor
registrations, 11 residential permit

507
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:44,599
applications,

508
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:49,160
one commercial industrial application,

509
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:56,960
seven residential rental operator
licenses,

510
00:41:54,720 --> 00:42:02,319
four use and occupancy applications were
received and one change of tenant

511
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:07,680
application.
Just to give the council an update on

512
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:13,839
the transition is
Commonwealth Code will be transitioning

513
00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:18,960
out of the burrow effective the 31st of
August.

514
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:26,880
The Yorkies will be taking over the
first of September.

515
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:35,240
Mr. Tagley has agreed to stay on
also been very gracious with opening up

516
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,240
a lot of communication with Europe.

517
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:45,200
And I spoke to him this afternoon. He
said that there are multiple meetings

518
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:50,960
that are being scheduled. so that there
is a smooth transition

519
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:57,119
with your
is there any questions or comments about

520
00:42:53,839 --> 00:43:00,119
the code enforcement report for July of
2026?

521
00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:11,079
around.

522
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:26,560
» That's correct. My understanding is the
Commonwealth Code Enforcement does have

523
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:30,359
forces that are in place.
looking for your package.

524
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:39,839
I don't want to specifically call out
individual addresses,

525
00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:46,040
but there's followups on complaints for
uh trash

526
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,040
highrass.

527
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,800
High grass

528
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:05,319
junk outside of properties
off windows. High grass,

529
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:17,480
abandoned vehicles,
building materials and

530
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,480
yards.

531
00:44:18,079 --> 00:44:29,359
So it's like one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven. One, two, three, four,

532
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:34,240
five,
six, seven. So 7* 7 is 49, right?

533
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:40,079
» I think that's right.
>> So So there's there's 49 instances that

534
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:47,599
were reported in the month of July where
a door knocker was dropped off or

535
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:53,720
letters were sent to residents. So
There there is an action to put um

536
00:44:54,240 --> 00:45:02,480
unfortunately with the government
process government.

537
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:09,200
government to work,
but the effort is being made to make

538
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:16,119
people aware that we are expecting
properties are well maintained and grass

539
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,119
is out of order.

540
00:45:21,599 --> 00:45:25,640
» Yes. Um, so

541
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:34,560
when are you going to give us an update
on property?

542
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:38,119
» My understanding is that is part of the
handoff process.

543
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:48,079
You know, I'll I'll put Mr. Bolton on
the spot is, you know, and he he's very

544
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:54,960
very wellversed on exactly what the code
process is. So, Mr. If you could just

545
00:45:50,800 --> 00:46:01,760
give a brief overview of exactly when
when a complaint is received, how it

546
00:45:57,839 --> 00:46:07,079
goes from from complaint to resolution.
So you can complain about

547
00:46:11,119 --> 00:46:18,359
an account, upload pictures of the
neighbor's yard and complain.

548
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:30,040
And that automatically
throws up an alert on open

549
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,040
that whoever

550
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,880
maintain

551
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,079
that complaint.

552
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:48,000
So it's up to them.
[clears throat] You start off with a

553
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:53,119
yellow
door knocker or hanger. It's basically

554
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:58,040
friendly reminder. That's so people
don't get upset when they see that

555
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:58,040
pretty red.

556
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:07,160
Then you get the red.
After the red one, we have a ticket.

557
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,160
Ticket

558
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,200
money.

559
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:23,160
You don't resolve that
citation.

560
00:47:25,839 --> 00:47:29,240
That's the process.

561
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:48,640
Commonwealth hands over they'll be
handing this to them.

562
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:53,119
So they go into
they can look at all these properties to

563
00:47:50,160 --> 00:48:00,319
see whether or not they have been
addressed. You know where stage they

564
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,319
whether it's a a red tag whe

565
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:10,680
And then
there's multiple stages

566
00:48:07,273 --> 00:48:10,680
[clears throat] working together.

567
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,800
Any other [clears throat] questions?
Comments about code.

568
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:28,839
This time I enterain motion to accept
the code report for July 2026.

569
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,520
be motion

570
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:39,040
please say I
>> any oppos

571
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,079
Mr. Kelly.

572
00:48:45,359 --> 00:48:49,000
» Thank you, Mr. President.

573
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,760
early

574
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:15,119
the demo of the highway department site
contract will start immediately

575
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:20,559
following termination of power.
We expect that to happen next week ahead

576
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:26,000
of the time to get Pico set with the
line so that the contractor can

577
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:30,720
demolition.
The gas work uh along the streets are

578
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:36,319
moving along little incident. We do get
updates once a week on their progress.

579
00:49:34,319 --> 00:49:41,359
Um [clears throat] pothole repair. I
recommend that council considers

580
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:46,800
authorizing our office to solicit bids
to make pothole repairs. The county aid

581
00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:52,640
funds that can be used for this purpose.
If we do not use them, we lose them. So,

582
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:58,960
it's a new process to the county. If you
do not lose use your county aids, you

583
00:49:56,079 --> 00:50:04,640
you will lose it. There's about $5,000
there. So, it seems frivolous, but

584
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:10,800
that's the only way we can use it is if
we advertise to use it like a road

585
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:18,319
program or fuels and then council
authorizes the project. Again, it's

586
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:22,400
going to be small $5,000 worth of work,
but we can do this very very very

587
00:50:20,079 --> 00:50:26,319
quickly so that you're not wasting a lot
of money in engineering yet you can use

588
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:29,920
$5,000.
So if everyone's okay with this, I don't

589
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:36,319
know that it needs council action unless
it's completely rejecting the idea. I

590
00:50:33,119 --> 00:50:42,839
will bring back um a proposed use of
those funds at the September meeting

591
00:50:39,839 --> 00:50:42,839
consideration.

592
00:50:43,839 --> 00:50:50,000
» I have two questions.
>> Yes. Number one, you have a status on

593
00:50:48,079 --> 00:50:53,599
play equipment.
>> It's the sideboard is installed.

594
00:50:52,079 --> 00:50:55,760
» Installed. So, it's ready to be used
now.

595
00:50:54,079 --> 00:50:56,720
» Yes.
>> Thank you.

596
00:50:56,319 --> 00:51:02,240
» Good.
>> And also, um, should we halt any

597
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:08,359
operations within the gym until
everything is completed?

598
00:51:05,359 --> 00:51:08,359
Um,

599
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:15,280
I I would wait until we have a much more
solid date that they're going to start

600
00:51:13,359 --> 00:51:22,079
this war
>> indoor divorce. So, I don't know. I

601
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:23,680
wouldn't halt anything at this point.
>> Inside understood.

602
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:28,720
» Yes.
>> I think once we get a much more solid

603
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:32,800
date that they're going to install doors
andor floor, of course, we'll

604
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:36,559
communicate that. I'm sure there's going
to be at least a week's advanced notice.

605
00:51:36,079 --> 00:51:42,000
» Okay.
>> So, I I would hate to say you can't use

606
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:48,880
that facility while we're waiting and
waiting and waiting for doors. So, we'll

607
00:51:46,559 --> 00:51:57,079
keep communication open. We'll tell you
exactly what proposed at least within

608
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:57,079
the week to get any of this additional.

609
00:51:57,839 --> 00:52:06,640
» Any other questions?
>> I do.

610
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:13,359
Um the storm water that we've had, you
know, cleaned, cavern, um did that GIS

611
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:19,839
also?
>> Uh it did it. Yes. And that's only from

612
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:27,760
Seventh Street to the river, not the
entire. Okay. I've had some uh there's

613
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:33,200
several areas in the burner that have uh
storm water inlets that are like filled

614
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:38,720
with dirt and they don't go anywhere.
Don't even know if there's a pipe down

615
00:52:34,559 --> 00:52:43,760
there or anything. But it got brought to
my attention today by one of the

616
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:48,880
residents on Ninth Street that showed me
a video of the water running down Ninth

617
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:53,119
Street and then it runs right up the
neighbor's driveway and then runs down

618
00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:58,319
the sidewalk. The same sidewalk that the
kids got to walk to school and

619
00:52:54,400 --> 00:53:03,040
everything else. And our concerns are
it's already bad because when they

620
00:53:00,559 --> 00:53:09,119
repave the street, they don't grind down
enough and the curves get smaller.

621
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:13,359
and the street gets higher along with
the driveways. And that's kind of what's

622
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:18,640
causing this. And now that Pico is doing
the gas line and they repave the street,

623
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:24,400
what happens is now the street's even
going to get higher

624
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:33,200
and she's been here for 50 years. And
she said to me that there was a a uh

625
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:37,119
a storm inlet right by the school that
is no longer there. In other words, it's

626
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:42,480
been covered up. So, I don't know
whether or not it's been covered up

627
00:53:39,359 --> 00:53:46,720
because she's dead, but she said water
used to go in years ago, but now we only

628
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:52,240
have a storm drain up on Simpson Street,
and all that water runs from there all

629
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:59,119
the way down 9inth till it gets to the
corner of [snorts] Ninth in Seville.

630
00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:04,800
By that time, it's already on sidewalks
on a heavy rain.

631
00:54:01,599 --> 00:54:09,440
» So, I'll take a look at that. um
immediately.

632
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:14,720
But back to the paving situation, the
contractor before he paved the road

633
00:54:11,359 --> 00:54:20,960
should do at minimum curve line milling
to maintain the reveal of the curve.

634
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:26,000
So we'll talk to people about
any other restorations.

635
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:30,960
Just it just it I mean the curves used
to start out at 4 in and some of them

636
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:35,520
are down to like two, you know, and and
driveway it's even worse because now the

637
00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:39,280
water just goes straight up the driveway
down the sidewalk. The problem was like

638
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:43,680
she said to me was, you know, come
winter time you get a heavy rain and it

639
00:54:41,839 --> 00:54:50,079
comes down the sidewalk and freezes.
This is this is a walking path of the

640
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:54,839
kids on your school side. So she's like,
I'm the first person that's going to get

641
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,839
sued by somebody

642
00:54:56,720 --> 00:54:59,720
close.

643
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:12,559
Um, one other question about storeboard.
Has it been determined where the

644
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:15,839
infiltration is coming from? I mean,
it's my guess it's from industrial

645
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:22,880
properties.
Um, a large portion is correct. Any idea

646
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:30,319
of what the you say large portion what
the percentage of our infiltration is it

647
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:35,440
90% of our total infiltration coming
from the industrial properties 50%. It's

648
00:55:33,599 --> 00:55:41,720
probably closer to 60
>> 60%

649
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:41,720
» 60 but the the report wasn't necessarily

650
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:51,520
presented that way. I can interpolate it
that way. We could do a

651
00:55:48,559 --> 00:55:55,280
spreadsheet preset analysis on that.
>> The reason I'm asking this is

652
00:55:54,293 --> 00:56:03,040
[clears throat]
since we implemented a sewer okay of

653
00:55:59,839 --> 00:56:08,000
where you're based on water usage
so

654
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:14,319
the residents pay I believe is somewhere
around $6,000 gallons and the commercial

655
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:19,680
is around seven something by a couple
cents or whatever. Um, and that's the

656
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:24,720
commercial properties. My the reasoning
for this is I believe that the

657
00:56:22,319 --> 00:56:31,119
industrial properties should be paying
more than that because of we're paying a

658
00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:35,839
total silver fee that the residents and
the local businesses

659
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:41,839
don't have the infiltration
that the amount of flow that's coming

660
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:50,000
through. And I noticed we had saved a
total of $54,000

661
00:56:45,359 --> 00:56:55,200
one time just from when Alliance bought
the property from

662
00:56:52,400 --> 00:57:00,160
u the warehouses. Yeah.
>> Because once they cut off the sewer line

663
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:05,119
there, now all the infiltration didn't
go into our sewers. What was a savings

664
00:57:02,559 --> 00:57:10,240
of 50 some thousand dollars in one year
just by that. So it kind of told me if

665
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:17,479
that was properties doing it, so do the
rest of the industrial properties.

666
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:20,160
» And even at by having a third
[clears throat]

667
00:57:18,559 --> 00:57:23,440
in this, and the reason I'm bringing it
up because we're getting ready to do

668
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:29,839
budget talks,
um, and the ordinance has to be

669
00:57:25,839 --> 00:57:35,520
rewritten that way, but I think it's it
it's still cheaper than what Del Porter

670
00:57:32,559 --> 00:57:39,920
charges their commercial properties. I
mean, we have a less rate than what the

671
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:43,920
quarter actually charges their
residential customers and their

672
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:47,920
commercial customers. Our rates actually
cheaper.

673
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:50,920
So, it's not like somebody can complain
about

674
00:57:52,559 --> 00:57:56,839
understand. I I'll find out what

675
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:06,240
plus the uh the meters remain in place.
>> They're still in place. Yeah. We're

676
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:09,599
continuing to collect data.
>> Okay.

677
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:13,200
» But the report does show clearly that
there is a large infiltration in that

678
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:19,200
area.
>> I'm really interested to see how much

679
00:58:14,799 --> 00:58:22,680
infiltration is coming from 1003
industrial highway.

680
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,200
» Thank you.

681
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:36,319
One quick followup, but I know that we
had Mary Sam here from

682
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,200
» Yes.
>> Have we reached out to her or she

683
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:44,400
reached out to us?
>> She did. Actually, we did have a brief

684
00:58:41,599 --> 00:58:53,760
email exchange and her recommendation
was to tailor our um approach to include

685
00:58:49,200 --> 00:59:00,000
what we've already done, which means it
to include the uh work that we've

686
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:05,599
already done. and then get bids for
additional work so we can tailor the

687
00:59:02,559 --> 00:59:12,480
scope to a much more
dollar specific dollar. So we can do

688
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:17,960
that. will move forward that the the
last year

689
00:59:14,319 --> 00:59:17,960
third year I mean

690
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:23,720
already
starts

691
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,160
the year

692
00:59:38,079 --> 00:59:40,319
next

693
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:50,359
I don't know if that's January, but
I'll be

694
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,000
any other questions, comments

695
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:08,359
for a motion to accept the engineers
report.

696
01:00:09,839 --> 01:00:14,599
with the motion. Second

697
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:25,280
» all in favor please say I
motion will pass unanimously

698
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:30,880
Mr. Solicitor and the rental agreement
for Joe Hughes Hall an opportunity to

699
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:36,079
review the proposed agreement
any comments in regards to

700
01:00:33,839 --> 01:00:41,520
language that
>> uh I I do have

701
01:00:38,079 --> 01:00:45,760
some concerns particularly the um the
cash payment the bureau does have no

702
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:51,760
cashy
um so just everything should be handled

703
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:54,760
by
however

704
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,119
I'm looking

705
01:01:07,839 --> 01:01:21,119
We have a a lot of cash that runs
through the burrow. Not just for rental

706
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:25,400
cash for just about anything that wants
to come in and say, "I want a permit.

707
01:01:34,799 --> 01:01:40,000
if they can. But you know, at the end of
the day, Chief, if somebody comes in to

708
01:01:38,559 --> 01:01:44,760
pay a parking ticket, do we take their
20 or $25? That's different.

709
01:01:54,160 --> 01:02:00,640
» I have I have one comment about this,
>> right?

710
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:06,960
» It has to do with cash.
You're asking them to pay in a check or

711
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:14,680
a money but then pay in cash for the
other part. So you're kind of taking two

712
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:14,680
different types of payments here.

713
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:22,240
That's probably not
you're going to pay in cash. You pay the

714
01:02:20,559 --> 01:02:28,880
whole thing in cash or you pay that
whole thing in check or money credit.

715
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:32,000
And is and is this in the intent to pay
cash to

716
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:36,000
the overseers.
>> That is the Yes.

717
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:42,559
» That's a real problem because now
they're employees of the barrel and now

718
01:02:38,319 --> 01:02:45,880
we're paying cash. That's not excuse me.
This has been

719
01:02:54,160 --> 01:03:03,400
an overseer can't just be handed cash
and then it needs

720
01:02:58,559 --> 01:03:03,400
to be accounted for appropriately.

721
01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:07,799
» Yeah, exactly.

722
01:03:20,353 --> 01:03:22,373
» [laughter]

723
01:03:26,319 --> 01:03:35,039
» So I'm going to ask the solicitor your
your opinion is that this has been

724
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:40,720
hanging on for months now. Do do we want
to table any action on the rental

725
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:44,960
agreement this evening with the
understanding that we've got to do a

726
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:49,400
little bit of work in cleaning it up?
>> I I I think that's fair. I think it

727
01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:05,440
but in any event should any events occur
between now and then? I mean we can't be

728
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:05,440
accepting can't be

729
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:14,880
How would you recommend that the
overseer be compensated for the time

730
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:18,119
that the overseer puts in
that corer?

731
01:04:27,039 --> 01:04:30,760
» How you view the service?

732
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,720
problem.

733
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:54,920
Let's table it unless there's any
objection from the board item

734
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:12,880
and spelling errors on it. I mean, it
was horrible and it's been like that for

735
01:05:10,559 --> 01:05:18,400
years.
So, can we before we anything out. I'm

736
01:05:17,119 --> 01:05:21,559
not comfortable sending anything out
right now.

737
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:30,079
» Can we just clean that part up and and
use that part where the grammar is

738
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:32,880
correct and the spelling is I mean it's
horrible.

739
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:36,400
» Well, look, it's a it's a rental form,
right? I don't know that this is

740
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:41,280
strictly requires a council vote.
>> Okay.

741
01:05:36,799 --> 01:05:44,480
» Right. Um, but that being said, I this
seems to be something that the council

742
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:49,119
does does take an interest in. Has said
on the agenda the last couple want it, I

743
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:52,720
think that's fine. Um,
>> you're going down the same road I this

744
01:05:51,039 --> 01:05:55,680
to me this is an administrative.
>> Yeah, absolutely.

745
01:05:53,839 --> 01:05:59,520
» It's it's not a contractual
relationship. It's it's basically

746
01:05:58,319 --> 01:06:03,200
policy.
>> Exactly. I mean, it's an it's an it's an

747
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:08,720
application, right? I mean, it's it's
it's a it's a an internal form, right?

748
01:06:06,319 --> 01:06:14,920
someone wants to print the wall, they
they take it, they look at the rules,

749
01:06:10,559 --> 01:06:14,920
they build it out. Um,

750
01:06:21,359 --> 01:06:29,520
so would it be acceptable to clean it
up, correct the grammatical errors?

751
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:36,079
However, incorporate that the payment
from the renter to the burrow needs to

752
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:39,920
incorporate an all-inclusive sum and
eliminate the

753
01:06:38,319 --> 01:06:42,720
» handing of cash at the end of the
meeting.

754
01:06:40,799 --> 01:06:46,319
» And of course, if it's if it's 1099 or
excuse me, if it's W2, right, there's

755
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:51,839
payroll taxes the bureau is paying too
on that end. And that might that might

756
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:57,280
that certainly raises the um the total
dollar figure, right? It might not be

757
01:06:53,599 --> 01:07:03,039
fully accounted for. um
for you know 150 bucks or $175, right?

758
01:07:01,039 --> 01:07:06,440
Medicare taxes, social security taxes,
that kind of thing.

759
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:16,160
» Questions?
>> Yeah.

760
01:07:12,319 --> 01:07:20,640
So, you're paying um the overseers fee,
they give the money to the burrow and

761
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:24,079
the burrow cuts a check to the overseer.
So in other words, you're paying the

762
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:30,960
whole fee as one, not
>> not as that $175, $150 or whatever it is

763
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:34,480
is all part of that check they hand you
the or the

764
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:40,480
» loan with $200.
>> So everything always one big fat check

765
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:44,720
or well they do $200 deposits up front
end. So, but I'm saying if they don't

766
01:07:43,119 --> 01:07:51,280
cancel, then the rest of the money
should be all at one shot, not $75, $175

767
01:07:48,559 --> 01:07:55,839
or $150 at the end of the night handing
it to somebody in cash and also be paid

768
01:07:54,319 --> 01:08:00,480
so that they have a good accounting of
it. And that way, the person that's

769
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:04,240
working is an employee. And to have the
employee rights and protections under

770
01:08:02,319 --> 01:08:05,839
the law, you need to be paid with a
paycheck.

771
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:09,839
» Yes. [laughter]
I think you guys are suggesting that

772
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:12,000
these are all payments made either with
a credit card or a check.

773
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:13,280
» Yes.
>> Correct.

774
01:08:12,559 --> 01:08:17,199
» Y
>> we're trying to eliminate the use of

775
01:08:15,119 --> 01:08:25,440
cash. Is that what I'm hearing?
>> All except for the police that's

776
01:08:21,679 --> 01:08:30,000
» So this it would be the same for like
when you pay for the the vending

777
01:08:28,319 --> 01:08:33,640
machine. I mean not the vending machine.
I'm sorry. Um,

778
01:08:34,719 --> 01:08:41,120
I'm sorry. I lost my train of thought.
>> It's not a wreck board. You know how

779
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:46,080
they come and they buy candy and things
of that sort. Is that that's still okay

780
01:08:43,199 --> 01:08:48,640
to do c money or no?
>> Is that the board?

781
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:51,920
» That's a wreck board. It's not
>> Well, that's that's totally

782
01:08:50,480 --> 01:08:54,400
» candy and this sort of thing, right?
>> Yeah.

783
01:08:53,199 --> 01:08:58,799
» No, I'm just curious.
>> No, of course. Of course. You know, and

784
01:08:55,759 --> 01:09:01,520
it's it's uh Well, I think that's I
think that's fine for now. how you

785
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:05,920
understand it. It's his policy of the
burrow that burrows supposed to have a

786
01:09:04,799 --> 01:09:11,600
no cash policy,
>> right? That's that's my question.

787
01:09:09,359 --> 01:09:16,560
» So, it's all the way across the board.
>> Yes. So, it eliminates the go out to

788
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:19,759
Walmart,
buy what you need to buy, and then go

789
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:22,400
back to the borrow and ask the borrow to
reimburse you with cash. That's not

790
01:09:21,279 --> 01:09:25,120
happen.
>> I'm sorry. The way the way I thought

791
01:09:23,839 --> 01:09:28,480
that that question was asked was I
thought like kids are coming to the

792
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:34,080
board and buy
Yes. This brick board collects cash. Is

793
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:36,480
that the same as collecting cash through
the burrow?

794
01:09:34,719 --> 01:09:38,400
» Well, look, they collect cash, right?
That cash needs to be deposited

795
01:09:37,839 --> 01:09:40,239
properly,
>> right?

796
01:09:38,719 --> 01:09:42,080
» Right. I mean, you can't be carrying it
around.

797
01:09:41,359 --> 01:09:45,520
» Okay.
>> Yeah, we collect cash now

798
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:50,880
» for a lot of things,
>> right? That's my question.

799
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:55,440
The issue is the issue is paying out in
cash. There's the issue.

800
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:59,360
» In other words, collecting the cash can
be accounted for. It's paying somebody

801
01:09:57,440 --> 01:10:02,800
in cash. So, it's okay to collect it. We
can collect it even for inspections and

802
01:10:01,440 --> 01:10:04,640
things of that sort.
>> Well, I mean, we've been doing it

803
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:09,440
forever.
>> That's my point. But, but this is this

804
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:12,159
is an issue when you're paying someone
in the cash. That's like paying somebody

805
01:10:11,199 --> 01:10:14,373
under the table, [clears throat]
>> right? [laughter]

806
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:22,960
» That's a modern thing. That's a modern
thing. Like everybody uses a bed, right?

807
01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:26,800
So, I think we
>> we pretty much done with

808
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:30,560
» Okay. Um there are other payment
options.

809
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:34,560
» We're we're trying to
>> one of the things was

810
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:39,960
» I just meant for Joe Reynolds, but
>> right

811
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,960
up

812
01:10:42,159 --> 01:10:47,520
» all the way across the board. That's
all. I mean, you're not gonna get kids

813
01:10:44,719 --> 01:10:53,199
to be able to come in and buy candy
without some type of either app or cash.

814
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:56,480
Most kids today use an app,
>> but we just I think there was something

815
01:10:55,040 --> 01:11:01,320
else that was coming out that we were
trying to switch over to

816
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:01,320
» I think you're

817
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:07,440
» Yeah,
>> you don't have to attach it to a person.

818
01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:11,520
» Correct.
>> Did you want to say something, Marley?

819
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:16,080
» Yeah.
Bank has a new program that meets all

820
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:18,000
your needs.
>> Actually, you were you were the one

821
01:11:17,199 --> 01:11:24,719
telling me that.
>> I've been trying to tell you

822
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:29,280
over there [laughter]
and lay it out and you can tell them

823
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:35,280
they can set it up so that they're small
amounts on your phone. You can and you

824
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:40,480
can use a QR code. They could pay their
taxes if you wanted to set it up that

825
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:47,360
way. Um they can pay anything they want.
uh QR code or AC so they can use a debit

826
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:52,080
or a credit card fee if they do it that
way and then there's also a 3% they're

827
01:11:50,239 --> 01:11:57,360
willing to go under we're already paying
charging% they can go under that and

828
01:11:55,520 --> 01:12:00,000
make that happen through Sharon Bank
>> yes

829
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:04,560
» maybe we should get Sharon Bank in here
to have this discussion it's all bank

830
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:10,679
they're willing to roll it out they're
willing to come and meet you and and

831
01:12:07,679 --> 01:12:10,679
it'll

832
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,400
go with that.

833
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:24,480
» Next item on the agenda, I'll defer to
the solicitor to give an explanation of

834
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:28,640
the settlement for
number two.

835
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:34,640
» So that was that was discussed uh at
length in the executive session. Of

836
01:12:30,239 --> 01:12:40,640
course um uh that is for litigation. So
that's that's why we discussed it in

837
01:12:36,239 --> 01:12:48,400
executive session. It is it is my uh
request for a vote from from council. Um

838
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:55,040
my my advice is that uh council vote to
uh accept the the uh settlement as I

839
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:59,920
proposed it. Um
that's what I that's what I have to say

840
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:05,760
about that agenda item.
Council, at this time I entertain a

841
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:10,800
motion to approve the settlement of the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania docket

842
01:13:07,679 --> 01:13:15,040
number 226-CV
00754

843
01:13:12,480 --> 01:13:20,239
presented by the solicitor.
I have a motion.

844
01:13:17,679 --> 01:13:21,679
» Have a motion by Mr. Bolton. I have a
second.

845
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:26,320
» Second.
>> Have a second for Miss Jackson.

846
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:31,040
There any questions or comments that
anybody on the board has?

847
01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:33,040
Not hearing any. All in favor, please
say I.

848
01:13:32,159 --> 01:13:37,400
» I.
>> Any opposed?

849
01:13:34,239 --> 01:13:37,400
» I abstain.

850
01:13:40,480 --> 01:13:45,920
» Do we need to do a roll call or are we
good with the extension of Why don't you

851
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:48,920
do a roll call just for the record?
Okay.

852
01:13:55,679 --> 01:13:58,679
I

853
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:08,040
» I saying due to a possible conflict

854
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,560
» I

855
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:31,400
motion will pass six or I'm sorry five
zero is not present.

856
01:14:34,159 --> 01:14:41,520
» Mr. Schles, I'll ask for some direction
from you with the abstension of Miss

857
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:46,400
Far. What is the procedure that she
>> There's a uh form that uh uh the council

858
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:51,080
vice president needs to fill out that
just explains the u the extension.

859
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:12,239
Council at this time I entertain a
motion to approve or reject the

860
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:15,679
partnership with Delaware County Health
Department to provide health inspection

861
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:19,600
services for Eddie Stone Barrow.
>> So move

862
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:23,840
a motion from Miss Farby. May I have a
second?

863
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:29,199
» Have a second from Miss Jackson. [cough]
This time I'll open it up for any

864
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:34,719
questions or comments from the board.
>> I have a question.

865
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:38,440
He doesn't do health inspection.
>> Does not do health in

866
01:15:44,719 --> 01:15:49,000
hiring a shepherd health inspector.

867
01:15:54,880 --> 01:16:04,520
» I'm believing that is the desire for
Any

868
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,520
other questions?

869
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,640
» One more.
>> Yep.

870
01:16:06,239 --> 01:16:14,480
» Do we let the solicitor know that we're
no longer

871
01:16:10,480 --> 01:16:20,239
um pursuing to keep the health, you
know, inspection is local?

872
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:24,480
I believe the solicitor is aware since
he did see a copy of the draft agendas

873
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:27,520
that went out and
>> he thought the solicitor was working on

874
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:31,920
this and I and [clears throat] I and
I'll and I'll kind of bring the

875
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:35,840
solicitor up to speed is is that Eddie
Stone along with other municipalities in

876
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:39,920
Delaware County when the health
department decided that they wanted to

877
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:45,120
do health inspections
took action in the court of common

878
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:50,159
please to basically say we have the
right as a municipality

879
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:56,800
to opt out of their program and do the
health inspections in house.

880
01:16:53,280 --> 01:17:01,280
So, so now that there seems to be a
change of

881
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:07,360
opinion or desire,
is there any action that the burrow

882
01:17:03,199 --> 01:17:13,840
needs to take to surgically
remove itself from existing litigation?

883
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:18,880
And should that be done prior to the
call for action or can we take that vote

884
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:23,560
and then you'll just
>> because that litigation is still going

885
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,560
on.

886
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:32,080
» There's it's a never ending fight.
>> Yes, Marley, please.

887
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:39,280
» Um the Del County Health Department did
tell us that uh you may go ahead and

888
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:45,600
vote and then go ahead and withdraw from
the law. They said that for for them to

889
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:51,120
accept uh the council new council's
willingness to join that we also need to

890
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:57,840
remove ourselves from it.
>> So that is that is a separate matter of

891
01:17:54,400 --> 01:18:02,719
of joining um
uh

892
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:11,440
should you have to vote to remove
yourself from the lawsuit first before

893
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:16,719
voting to join the health department? Uh
possibly, but based on it sounds like

894
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:22,840
the communication from the uh uh
Department of Health folks uh that might

895
01:18:19,679 --> 01:18:22,840
be advisable.

896
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:29,600
» What's advisable
>> to uh withdraw uh first? It it sounds

897
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:34,239
like they will not accept, right? The
council can vote all they want to to uh

898
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:39,199
» Right. But so we withdraw. It doesn't
make a difference. So we should withdraw

899
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:42,800
first before taking this vote to join.
So you can vote.

900
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:47,400
» So we need to have a vote to withdraw
first and then a vote to

901
01:18:47,679 --> 01:18:57,280
and um I I have not uh fully uh managed
to

902
01:18:53,600 --> 01:19:01,520
uh manage I I I'm not fully aware of
what possible ramifications there would

903
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:06,159
be for withdrawing from that uh that
suit should there be any for for the

904
01:19:03,199 --> 01:19:09,920
burrow. I don't know. Um, but I think
that would be part of my

905
01:19:07,679 --> 01:19:13,120
» because the burst is splitting this cost
with the other municipalities.

906
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:19,120
» I think that would be part of my
analysis

907
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:26,239
um to
uh in in rendering my legal advice.

908
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:30,239
» So [snorts] I'll just ask the question.
Is it premature for the burrow to be

909
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:34,719
taking or the board to be taking action
at this time or do you need to reach out

910
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:39,520
to
for lack of a better term, the the the

911
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:46,280
other municipalities that we have a
joint to to Yeah, I think that would be

912
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,280
I think

913
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:55,199
without knowing the full scope of the
litigation and the posture of that of

914
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:59,920
that litigation, it very well could be
premature for for a council to be taking

915
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:06,400
this vote at this time. I would prefer
to uh sort of see the entire picture uh

916
01:20:03,440 --> 01:20:12,239
before rendering a a legal opinion.
>> I have a question. Did you not know

917
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:18,000
about any of this before tonight?
>> Uh I learned about some of this before

918
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:24,360
tonight. However, I I have not had an
opportunity to review the um posture of

919
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,360
the litigation.

920
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:41,280
Can we just vote on ending
part of the litigation?

921
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:44,480
» Well,
you can vote to amend the agenda to

922
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:49,600
include that, but I do not know the
ramifications for

923
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:56,640
anyone withdrawing from the litigation
as it exists right now. So would you

924
01:20:52,880 --> 01:21:00,000
recommend that we table any action so
that you have an opportunity to reach

925
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:02,880
out to those that we've been joined
with?

926
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:06,320
» That would be best at this time.
>> You don't want to turn around and you

927
01:21:04,480 --> 01:21:10,480
know throw a wrench into everybody
else's plan

928
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:16,080
without least for
>> So where we are right now it's

929
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:22,239
Commonwealth Code Enforcement does offer
health inspection services.

930
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:26,760
So, so up until the 31st of August,
>> we've got Commonwealth on board.

931
01:21:27,199 --> 01:21:35,920
The urgency is going to come September 1
when Commonwealth code has been relieved

932
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:42,731
of their responsibility here with
municipality and our new BCO Yorkies

933
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:44,560
does not provide that service.
[clears throat]

934
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,120
And
>> they have no interest in providing that

935
01:21:46,480 --> 01:21:49,920
service?
>> None.

936
01:21:51,360 --> 01:22:01,280
question please
add one more thing that the health

937
01:21:57,440 --> 01:22:06,159
department uh we met with some people on
council she was only had time for one

938
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:13,120
meeting they did say that the county
position is that they stopped fighting

939
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:18,719
within litigation the members other
other parts of municipalities like

940
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:23,679
ourselves they were ordered to stop
So there's it's out there. We just have

941
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:25,920
to remove ourselves from the lawsuit to
move forward.

942
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:28,960
» But they they were ordered to stop. Was
that a court order?

943
01:22:27,679 --> 01:22:32,480
» So they all agree.
>> Well, the court wouldn't order them to

944
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:38,000
necessarily stop.
>> Well, I'm not a lawyer. I'm sure they

945
01:22:34,719 --> 01:22:40,480
made it clear that there was no fight. I
I guess I'm just trying I'm trying to

946
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:43,840
understand if it was a court an order
from a judge or an order from the

947
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:46,159
commissioners that said, "Hey, we're not
going to fight this anymore." Because

948
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:49,920
that that's
>> that's different. a combination of some

949
01:22:48,480 --> 01:22:55,120
kind of things like that. But their
point was that there is no fight

950
01:22:53,040 --> 01:23:00,880
anymore. There's an agreement and they
explain there why is that one of the

951
01:22:58,159 --> 01:23:05,760
townships in Springfield and they have a
very large restaurant base and so it's

952
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:10,000
important for them to capture that to
the to the municipalities whereas other

953
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:14,880
municipalities don't have that. we are
one of them. And so they just agreed to

954
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:20,320
let municipalities who feel like that's
an important source of revenue to go

955
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:24,320
ahead and do it and and so they
scores down. So I don't think this is

956
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:28,560
complicated at all.
>> No, but I think it's important that you

957
01:23:26,239 --> 01:23:31,719
find out all the information.
>> I agree.

958
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:41,480
I have a question.
Um, in previous reports, has

959
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:41,480
Commonwealth Coast Center inspected?

960
01:23:42,639 --> 01:23:48,239
» Yes, they have.
>> Yes.

961
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:52,320
» They handled the one with the sugar over
here on the back.

962
01:23:50,480 --> 01:23:58,000
» And I believe they have also gone to the
school and inspected the cafeteria and

963
01:23:54,960 --> 01:24:05,480
they've gone the
route of any food establishments. Okay.

964
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:05,480
Inspect. Thank you.

965
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:09,880
table.

966
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:21,600
» Next item is the sale of surplus
equipment. And we've got the 2017 Ford

967
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:26,719
Explorer XLT SUV, which is the unmarked
police car. And madam manager, do you

968
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:30,960
have the last five digits of the VIN so
I can

969
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:33,960

and the 2009 Ford F450 XL Superduty dump
truck which that's the white one.

971
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:53,440
So, council, at this time, I entertain a
motion to approve the sale of surplus

972
01:24:50,480 --> 01:25:02,159
equipment, and that sale would be on the
municip municipal auction website for

973
01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:09,360
the 2017 Ford Explorer XLT and the 2009
Ford F450 XL Superduty. I think the only

974
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:15,440
additional information, and I'll defer
to Mr. Bolt, I hate to put you on the

975
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:19,760
spot, but would you recommend a
reserve on this equipment or just let it

976
01:25:18,480 --> 01:25:28,159
go for what it goes.
>> I would recommend we we we ask the um

977
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:33,040
uh
Joe Pinto who's been the one who does

978
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:38,520
the service on our vehicles of what his
opinion would be as far as what they

979
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:38,520
were.

980
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:52,600
We uh we put the court explorer in the
AI generated thing for damage report

981
01:25:48,639 --> 01:25:52,600
should be valued around $1,200.

982
01:25:55,520 --> 01:26:05,840
What about anybody that
just got here?

983
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:09,719
We can do the same thing with that.
I know that a turbo

984
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:18,199
» and that turbo is like $5,000.

985
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:21,320
» Okay.

986
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:27,120
» You're [clears throat] comfortable with
letting the mechanic give us a

987
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:31,440
recommended reserve? We approve the sale
of surplus material and the reserve to

988
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:37,120
be determined

989

I suppose

Council,

Brewster from the position of B

996
01:27:00,639 --> 01:27:07,679

999
01:27:12,719 --> 01:27:18,480

prior to the call?

01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:24,920
Not hearing any. All in favor, please

Motion passes unanimously.

1002
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:34,639
With the departure of the administrative
assistant, it's uh going to

1003
01:27:32,639 --> 01:27:41,600
create a hole
in the municipality.

1004
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:47,199
And I would like to kind of gauge the
board's temperature, so to speak, on

1005
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:53,199
hiring a temporary, and I emphasize the
word temporary part-time administrative

1006

process the board would like to
undertake to find a replacement for Miss

1008
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:10,880

How long? I'm sorry.

1009
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:17,840
» I have a gentleman that works for me in
Milbourne. He is a college student in

1010
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:24,159
his early 20s. His current workload and
his semester uh he has part a couple

1011
01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:29,360
online classes at night. He said that he
would be willing to come in part-time

1012
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:35,360
for the burrow. He does clearly
understand that it would be temporary

1013
01:28:32,159 --> 01:28:40,480
and it would be just to help
work the window and take care of the

1014
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:46,159
financial stuff. Now he currently is
doing financial work for me. Uh he is

1015
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:51,280

accounts receivable. So, he does have an

understanding of municipal government
and municipal accounting

1017

that salary.

1021
01:29:14,159 --> 01:29:24,320

I will tell you that I pay him $17.50

1022
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:30,719
an hour and billboard.
I'm sure, you know, it would be a little

1023
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:35,520
bit of a travel here. Um, you know, $18
an hour. It's whatever the board would

1024
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:40,880
like to offer. If the board is even
willing to make an offer,

1025
01:29:38,480 --> 01:29:46,440
» how long is temporary?
temporary is until we find somebody that

he is a full-time employee, not a

1057
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:21,840
parttime employee. All right. I thought
you just confused me when you had to

1058

work full time there because we didn't
have that for Miss Bruce. [laughter]

» Kevin Mer he brought back part time and
it's temporary.

1068
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:16,360
» Correct.

1069
01:33:16,480 --> 01:33:24,960
» So it's temporary and we lost a
full-time person.

1070
01:33:20,719 --> 01:33:27,520
So that's so we eventually we would have
lost two people. Correct.

1071
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:31,520
» The reason he was brought back temporary
is because we had no CDL director.

1072
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:37,280
So, do we have a CDL driver now?
>> Yes.

1073
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:43,440
» And then we have one other person to
help them. And Madness is just temporary

1074
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:45,920
helping.
>> So, we don't have the three people that

1075
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:50,000
we would normally have.
>> We normally would have three full-time

1076
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:55,120
people, three part-time people. Right
now, you have three full-time people and

1077
01:33:52,239 --> 01:33:58,639
three part-time people when you include
No, no, you have two part-time people

1078
01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:02,960
and three full-time people. We normally
have three full-time people

1079
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:06,560
and uh
>> I'm sorry,

1080
01:34:04,239 --> 01:34:11,440
» three full-time, three part-time. That's
our norm.

1081
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:15,920
» Now, right now, we have three full-time,
two part-time, and one part-time

1082
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:18,159
temporary employee. So, right now, we're
right where we always have been in the

1083
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:24,159
burrow.
>> Okay. So, then seems like it's not an

1084
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:27,840
urgency, but it's it needs to be put out
there eventually.

1085
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:31,840
That's what it's if because we have the
three full time and then we Yeah. So,

1086
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:35,320
right. Am I hearing that right? That's
how I get back.

1087
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:42,280
» It is an urgency or it's not urgency.
>> I would say that

1088
01:34:58,639 --> 01:35:06,880
I am not in attendance of executive
session and I'm going to make sure that

1089
01:35:02,480 --> 01:35:11,440
I for the most part
provide confidentiality but there is an

1090
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:17,280
interest
of a former employee to return

1091
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:21,040
or former employees
>> to return.

1092
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:24,560
» We don't have to vote to advertise,
right?

1093
01:35:22,159 --> 01:35:29,760
No, not to advertise a position.
>> Just post a position. So you just post a

1094
01:35:27,679 --> 01:35:33,600
position and then they apply.
>> One wanting one wanting full-time work

1095
01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:37,440
and the other looking for part time.
>> Two.

1096
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:42,239
» Can you give me a hand?
>> Um what's what what do we normally

1097
01:35:41,440 --> 01:35:46,436
have?
>> Oh, really? I'm surprised at that.

1098
01:35:44,416 --> 01:35:46,436
[laughter]

1099
01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:54,159
» But I'm okay with I'm okay with that.
Okay with what? I'm

1100
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:59,840
» Well, as long as it's confused.
>> As long as it's posted to give everyone

1101
01:35:56,639 --> 01:36:03,880
an opportunity, and I mean everyone, an
opportunity to apply.

1102
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:21,120
» Well,
>> and the other one was part time.

1103
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:23,840
» Yes.
We'll handle that one.

1104
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:26,080
» Can I ask a question?
>> Can I ask a question also?

1105
01:36:25,440 --> 01:36:32,320
» Yes, please.
>> Because we have Kevin Petro on um the

1106
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:37,679
highway department also with time. Would
it be I mean would it be [snorts] okay

1107
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:40,639
to offer a position to him or he still
have time? And you tell me he was

1108
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:46,480
offered that position, right?
>> He said no before. That doesn't mean no.

1109
01:36:44,159 --> 01:36:48,560
» We should always advertise the position.
Always.

1110
01:36:47,199 --> 01:36:51,679
» Especially if they don't have no matter
what.

1111
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:57,320
problem without having. It's the whole
reason why we have Kevin back is

1112
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:57,320
temporary because oh lack of CD

1113
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:06,119
» and then when you see the advertisement
you look at it just like everybody else

1114
01:37:02,719 --> 01:37:06,119
» think you [clears throat] just

1115
01:37:06,239 --> 01:37:10,719
» Okay.
Yeah. That's still

1116
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:14,840
» I'm fine with advertising.
>> Yeah, I'm fine.

1117
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:14,840
» Y

1118
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:20,239
» Okay. Any other action needs to be taken
in front of the board this evening? Can

1119
01:37:18,719 --> 01:37:24,639
I ask a question? Sure.

New business. Any new business topics

I'll ask the one question just

1133
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:37,840
um where are we at with the audit?
>> I was going to ask that question.

1134
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:41,268
» Do you want to ask it? I'll tell you
I'll withdraw my question and

1135
01:38:39,440 --> 01:38:43,840
» No, you go ahead. That was a good
[laughter] question. THAT WAS A REALLY

1136
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:49,679
GOOD QUESTION TO ASK BECAUSE I THOUGHT
the audit was done by now.

1137
01:38:47,679 --> 01:38:54,080
» I thought we were looking at some Was
the auditor looking for like leases?

1138
01:38:51,679 --> 01:38:57,760
» Yes. So, because you have a new auditor
in place, they're asking for information

1139
01:38:55,840 --> 01:39:00,960
that your prior auditor would have had
at some point and they wouldn't have

1140
01:38:59,199 --> 01:39:05,840
needed to ask for it.
>> Okay. Um, some of that information has

1141
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:09,920
not been located by Marlene because it's
either not available in files [snorts]

1142
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:14,960
or I don't know the reason I want to get
to it. Um, there are a few documents

1143
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:20,239
including lease agreements for vehicles.
Um,

1144
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:26,080
grant agreements um for funds received
that would have been um, you know, I

1145
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:31,600
think kept on filed by the prior borrow
manager, but they weren't able to. So

1146
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:38,080
last week I was able to provide some
compensating support for the auditors um

1147
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:42,639
for several of the items. Um they're a
waitformation

1148
01:39:39,679 --> 01:39:46,639
that I think you have to work with.
>> That's the only

1149
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:49,880
» I think if I think from our side we've
given another

1150
01:39:52,960 --> 01:40:00,040
handle. Okay.
>> And they should
