1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,480
um who of whatever meeting um whatever

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,080
public meeting is happening. Um it it

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:12,320
expands language on accessibility and um

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:16,320
accommodations being made to individuals

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,920
with disabilities or um if a an

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,279
individual if a member of the public

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,240
wishes to submit a um

8
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:27,199
public comment in writing. It um lays

9
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:30,320
out the process. It gives them a 72-hour

10
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:32,399
uh provide a 72-hour notice. um for

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:37,520
public comments to be included in um the

12
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:40,879
board book in in the official record. Um

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,000
and then it also just uh more clearly

14
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:47,600
calls out um again that the the chair of

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000
the meeting is um ultimately the um

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,280
overseer of this policy and can make you

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,280
know changes under special

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,280
circumstances.

19
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,520
And this would apply to committee

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,120
meetings and um board meetings or any

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,760
meetings that we have. Y

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:07,520
» Just um formalizing the process with

23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,520
publicly invited. Um

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,360
so it's nothing that we're voting on

25
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,720
today. We just wanted you to look at it

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,960
and I asked Ted to just um we looked at

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,080
other ordinances. we ran this kind of

28
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:22,720
returning to um we just wanted to make

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,159
sure it was updated all policies. You

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,520
know, we updating everything. So, um

31
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:28,880
keep an eye on it and we can have a

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,520
discussion at the board meeting. It

33
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,360
won't be under

34
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,520
the consent agenda. We can talk about

35
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,000
it. So,

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,680
it will not be on the agenda. It should

37
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,920
be in case there's any questions because

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,600
you're just presenting. Go ahead, Kelly.

39
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,399
» I just have a question. Have you sent

40
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,320
out a policy and asked or reviewed it?

41
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:50,399
Someone sent it to be familiar with

42
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,200
that. That's the current policy,

43
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:53,119
correct?

44
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,360
» That was the policy that was done. I

45
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:57,680
think it was dated 2024 or something.

46
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,479
» So, this is what you're suggesting to

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,880
proceed. We should just

48
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:03,920
be

49
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,600
» So, I'm sorry that wasn't clear. That's

50
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,119
» Yeah, that was the old policy and this

51
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,800
new policy. That's why I tend to read

52
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:12,720
it. Um, yes. So, we will not have this

53
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,720
on the consent agenda. It will be a new

54
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:19,200
business item so that if there's any

55
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,680
discussion and anybody feels, you know,

56
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,800
» Well, one thing that's here and this

57
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,599
other one we constantly get is these

58
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,520
people won't give us their name and both

59
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:30,959
legally.

60
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,879
» But we're putting in our policy that

61
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:34,239
they can't speak until they provide it.

62
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:37,239
» No, it says they're encouraged to

63
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:37,239
provide

64
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,360
» Under signing.

65
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,840
» Encouraged.

66
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,000
» Under signing it. Oh, it says meeting is

67
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,560
encouraged. Second time

68
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,160
» Person has may be permitted to speak.

69
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,760
» Yeah, but right above it

70
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,959
» That's before, right? A person who

71
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,879
arrives after may still be permitted to

72
00:02:54,959 --> 00:02:59,280
speak during public comment if time

73
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:01,440
allows and persons their name.

74
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,680
» Yeah. Yeah. They shouldn't be there.

75
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,680
» Good catch.

76
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:11,519
» So they don't have to put their name.

77
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,440
No, legally we substitute for just one

78
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:14,879
other and I don't know how easy this is

79
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,159
for you to do but as you're making

80
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:21,360
changes for subsequent documents, is it

81
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:23,920
possible to get a red line track changes

82
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,480
so we can see what's being changed and

83
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:27,480
where okay

84
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:31,040
thanks

85
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:32,959
» Very cool.

86
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,040
» So there are some other policies we're

87
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:36,560
working on in the coming months. Um,

88
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,879
we're having a communication and social

89
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,560
media policy. Shares anything now, but

90
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:42,560
and there's another policy we're working

91
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,080
on, too. So, there'll be a couple more

92
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,519
coming down. Thank you.

93
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,080
So, if you could just take a look at

94
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:51,599
that.

95
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,400
Like I said, it will be under

96
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:55,400
discussion, but not

97
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,959
um I wanted to discuss um number B is

98
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:07,120
discussion of standing committees.

99
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:12,720
Um I just wanted to discuss this board

100
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:15,519
um on your feelings if you believe

101
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,840
standing committees are needed. um we've

102
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:19,840
reduced them from previous four terms,

103
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,280
the first four years that we had on two

104
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:25,280
committees, but it was just really

105
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:27,520
having the department heads come to this

106
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:29,040
meeting, read off everything, then you

107
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,240
have to come to the cow meeting, talk

108
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,440
about everything again, come to the

109
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,759
board meeting, talk about everything

110
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,639
again. It just doesn't seem the best use

111
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:38,240
of time. Um

112
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:40,960
the

113
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,160
what we will be proposing is Ted and I

114
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,919
still meeting with all the department

115
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:49,680
heads, you know, within 30 to 40 days,

116
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:51,040
30 or 45 days um and posting our

117
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,040
schedule and if you wanted to come, we

118
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,560
can make it a public meeting so that you

119
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,960
know if you did want to attend the

120
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,440
meetings, you're welcome to. But these

121
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,800
would just be more internal meetings and

122
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,680
you'd get the reports in the in their

123
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,960
in the board packet. So I wanted to

124
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,560
discuss that with the board.

125
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:14,080
» Well, I think it's an outstanding idea.

126
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,479
» Additionally, the minutes be from those

127
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,280
meeting.

128
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:18,280
» Well, we won't have minutes.

129
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,400
They're they're staff meetings, right?

130
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:24,800
So, they're not public meetings. So

131
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,240
there won't be agendas unless we get

132
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,120
word that there's going to be a form of

133
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,039
a board president.

134
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,199
» Yeah. So if there's something, you know,

135
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:34,160
happening in the community center and

136
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:35,520
Kelly and Robert um say that they want

137
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,360
to come, then we make it a public

138
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,199
meeting and there be notes, but

139
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,199
otherwise know that the board would just

140
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:43,600
be receiving updates via the board

141
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:46,720
packets

142
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,360
and we would know what was going on and

143
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,720
it just they're busy enough as is. The

144
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,960
department has and I want to respect

145
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,400
their time and make sure that we're

146
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,639
giving them the time they need to do

147
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,639
their job.

148
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:06,319
So I'm clear. So I no longer am a co- or

149
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,720
chair of a community center

150
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:10,800
through meeting with Susan. If I have

151
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,360
questions, I can come to the meeting. I

152
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,199
can talk to Susan, but I don't need to

153
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:19,840
be holding these regular meetings.

154
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:22,319
Just to reiterate further, we

155
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:23,840
technically legally already only have

156
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:25,280
glorified staff meetings, right? Because

157
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:26,960
we don't have a quorum with the board.

158
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:29,039
So our like community center committee

159
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,560
meeting for example it's not required

160
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:32,960
that we have an agenda because we don't

161
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,720
have a forum we don't have so we're

162
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,639
already kind of already doing that but

163
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,800
you know supervisor like one of her top

164
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:41,199
priorities is uh transparency so we're

165
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,360
being over overtly transparent by by

166
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:45,360
including all of this but like legally

167
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,120
it's not a requirement because we don't

168
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,400
have

169
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,919
a report

170
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,520
» And if you know health and wellness

171
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:53,600
meetings if Robert you're interested in

172
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,280
coming to those you know we'd have

173
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,800
posted when the meetings are. And if

174
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:58,800
you're interested, we can do an agenda

175
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,039
and have it be a public thing, but it

176
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,280
wouldn't be required.

177
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:05,360
» Would they still be open to community

178
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,039
members?

179
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,080
» It'd be a staff meeting.

180
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:14,479
» Okay. I think it's a great idea because

181
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:16,560
I know time is something that I remember

182
00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:18,960
talks about a lot.

183
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,720
» So, we can try it and if you feel out of

184
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,720
touch or if it doesn't work, we can go

185
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,240
back to what it is. especially the

186
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,919
fourth quarter and Mike and all has

187
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,160
planned season. I mean, every department

188
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:29,599
has got a million things going on, we

189
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,400
could limit the amount of meetings and

190
00:07:29,599 --> 00:07:33,840
reports that are required of you. I So,

191
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,479
we tried it. If it doesn't work, you

192
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,919
know, we go back, but I just kind of

193
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:42,120
want to just discuss it with the board

194
00:07:37,919 --> 00:07:42,120
and see how you felt with it.

195
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,400
» And you could ask, you know, this would

196
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:49,680
be a meeting where you could ask any

197
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,919
questions of, you know, your reports. It

198
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,039
would be one less report, one

199
00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:57,199
you know, and in in our meetings that

200
00:07:55,039 --> 00:07:59,280
you have with Sen and I, you know, we

201
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,560
usually have agendas anyway and we say,

202
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,160
you know, make sure you talk about this

203
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,360
at the county meeting or the board, you

204
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,440
know, so would then the cow be a

205
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,560
required board meeting that all the

206
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,560
updates next year.

207
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,879
» We're still going to be doing the staff

208
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:20,240
meetings like the department heads. um

209
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:21,520
how much of a change is Steve like for

210
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,840
them for the preparation that they

211
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,319
initially still

212
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,000
» I wouldn't expect any because again

213
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:31,360
that's technically like legally that's

214
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,120
all we're doing now anyways um so it

215
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,320
would be the same format it would just

216
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,919
not require or have the expectation of a

217
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,880
specific trustee to appear at that

218
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:42,959
specific meeting similarly you know if

219
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,200
you have an interest in the alpha well

220
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:47,360
highway committee right that you haven't

221
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,880
attended because you you're you view

222
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,480
yourself as a health and wellness,

223
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,800
right? That opens it opens up the

224
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,240
trustes to attending any meetings they

225
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,000
want. We just need to know if we're

226
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,920
going to have if we expect to have three

227
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
or more so then we can go through the

228
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,560
posting of the agenda and and all those

229
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,959
other uh processes that go along.

230
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:08,880
» Awesome. Okay. So, this is more reducing

231
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:09,519
what we need to do, not necessarily the

232
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,279
department.

233
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:13,760
» Sure.

234
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:15,920
Will there be there would probably be

235
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,959
less meetings in terms of these

236
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,959
department meetings?

237
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:21,040
» Well, I no it would probably it would

238
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:22,560
probably be a wash. So, yes. So,

239
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,959
basically this is taking one more thing

240
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:27,120
or one thing off of the trustes place.

241
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:29,920
» So, I have a question.

242
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,839
Um would there would obviously be more

243
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,320
discussion that happens at counties

244
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:37,279
probably then it wouldn't be discussed.

245
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,519
So then would it be an expectation? I

246
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,760
think this is what you asked that that

247
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,760
this be more of a required meeting so

248
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,519
that we aren't having super long

249
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,480
discussions about things we've talked

250
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:51,519
about here. You talked about income

251
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,120
position it might be next year.

252
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:55,120
» We have the rest of the meetings for the

253
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,040
rest of the year are all booked up, but

254
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,000
it's consideration that this would

255
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,519
become a board meeting. just hoping that

256
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,480
it wouldn't make for board meeting

257
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:06,800
nights super long because if someone

258
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,360
doesn't want to show up here then they

259
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,880
want to talk.

260
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,519
» I understand.

261
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:15,720
» So I I would just like to try this and

262
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:15,720
see how it works out. Um

263
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:21,440
» Really

264
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,959
I was in August. I mean after your if

265
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,959
there's a scheduled meeting we'll have

266
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:26,160
the last meeting you know like we have a

267
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:27,760
scheduled meeting we have a scheduled

268
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,320
meeting and then we'll go on from there

269
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,399
and out date but I'd really like to have

270
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,360
them on the books and not just like

271
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:38,760
every 45 days and 30 days that it's just

272
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,760
a meeting

273
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:45,079
scheduled for September we also

274
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,320
» Remember how we talked about that as the

275
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,600
last health and wellness meeting that

276
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,800
there might not be another health and

277
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,800
wellness meeting,

278
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,920
» Right? But I think you didn't still

279
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,320
schedule one,

280
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,920
» Right? And we would cancel it. It's not

281
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,440
I mean, if you wanted to come, you could

282
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,320
still come to it. It would just be two

283
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,279
of us.

284
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,200
» Sure.

285
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:06,720
» Is this something that requires a board

286
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,040
vote or is this something

287
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:12,320
» I was just literally just wrote it down?

288
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:15,200
I'm fairly certain we would have to have

289
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:18,240
an ordinance dissolving.

290
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,760
» So, this would be on the the agenda for

291
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,120
the thought it would be on the August

292
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,640
agenda to to have an ordinance

293
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:26,720
dissolving the case.

294
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,959
» And again, I know finance we've been

295
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,560
meeting a little bit more, but I don't,

296
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:31,920
you know, once we get the rules down and

297
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:32,880
the guard rails in,

298
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,720
» It should be fine.

299
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:39,040
» You know, I think that's going to be

300
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,240
like a twice a year meeting. It's that

301
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,160
» But I just I just want to get the

302
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,519
guardrails down on that one so we have

303
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,360
policies in place because right now

304
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:47,279
there's no policies and so I just want

305
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,240
to make sure still it's just you and

306
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:49,680
Doug.

307
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,160
It's still public.

308
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:52,800
» Well, I know, but is there other parties

309
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,760
interested?

310
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,600
» Yeah.

311
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,839
» So, that that's where I'm going with it

312
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,120
is just you're always welcome to attend

313
00:11:59,839 --> 00:12:02,959
any meeting and like I said, the

314
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,720
schedule would be out. Just let us know.

315
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:09,040
We can make it public, but it would be

316
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,240
where this would be more.

317
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,839
» Okay.

318
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,360
» Um, new business number C is discussion.

319
00:12:13,839 --> 00:12:17,040
We discussed this at a previous cow

320
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,200
meeting but we failed to take action on

321
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,440
it.

322
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,760
» Well, and I I I have been stewing over

323
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,480
this for weeks. Why didn't we do

324
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:27,680
anything with it? And the reason was

325
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,120
because it's included in our handbook

326
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:31,839
and we didn't want to do a whole

327
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,399
handbook revision for one new housing.

328
00:12:31,839 --> 00:12:37,360
So um that's why we didn't take the

329
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:38,800
formal action of increasing uh uh the

330
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,399
department head uh the highway

331
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,800
department

332
00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:46,720
just so um because of costs because

333
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,279
there's a lot of things that are going

334
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,040
um when Mike has to repair or the

335
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:53,839
department has to repair something it's

336
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:58,240
coming in at $3,000 $4,000 and is

337
00:12:53,839 --> 00:13:00,399
handicapping us um by not being able to

338
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,440
look and make sure that you know he he

339
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:05,519
has the award to do So just cuz are very

340
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,279
happy always doing

341
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,360
previous if you want to bring up

342
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:11,279
anything we can. I mean it's something

343
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,440
you know again he's not just going to go

344
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:14,800
first visit and you know you're going to

345
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,360
look at who you're

346
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,200
» Absolutely and plus it would be just for

347
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,880
budgeted expenses. If that was an

348
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,959
unbudgeted expense I would have

349
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,440
obviously but 99% of the time it's going

350
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:30,560
to be maintenance items for the vehicles

351
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:34,240
or for our machines. been having a lot

352
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:40,519
of um issues with the um grass cutting

353
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:40,519
machines and those parts are not cheap.

354
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,440
That will be on the August um board

355
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,680
meeting that will be in the consent

356
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,000
agenda. We already discussed it in the

357
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:51,920
past and if you have any questions, Mike

358
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,200
will be at the meeting. I will be Ted

359
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,079
will be looking over. I will be looking

360
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,079
over. It's not just a freeforall.

361
00:13:56,079 --> 00:14:02,519
with thought with intent, but just

362
00:13:58,079 --> 00:14:02,519
making sure people can do their jobs.

363
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:08,160
» Okay, no more discussion on that. I'd

364
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:10,959
like to go to old business. Um the

365
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,920
boardroom audio visuals. Um Mr. Marcia,

366
00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:16,720
if you could just give us the update.

367
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:20,000
» Yeah. So, um, at the last company, you

368
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,560
know, Bonnie and I discussed, you know,

369
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:26,240
looking into those like

370
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:29,040
bikes or lapel mics or whatever. Um, and

371
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:32,480
so this is kind of foreshadowing, but

372
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,639
um, I had um, we've had numerous IT

373
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:38,320
vendors um, come out in response to our

374
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:39,839
IT bids, and one of them um, who um,

375
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,480
works closely with Vernon Township took

376
00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:44,560
a look at our mixing system back there

377
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,000
and said, "Oh, the background noise is

378
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,880
because of this." And then adjusted all

379
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,560
the dials. So, he's he's fairly certain

380
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,440
that the audio will be drastically

381
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:58,079
better um, for the next um, board

382
00:14:53,440 --> 00:15:00,240
meeting. Uh, so I think before we go in

383
00:14:58,079 --> 00:15:02,399
further down the lines of getting buying

384
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,440
new mics or changing anything, let's

385
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:08,240
let's see if what he did works and then

386
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:11,199
uh we can go from there.

387
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:14,240
» Can I have a suggestion? We have a mixer

388
00:15:11,199 --> 00:15:18,800
um that we actually brought with us from

389
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:20,880
the ride and I would put liquid paper or

390
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:24,560
tape or something where all the dials

391
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:28,079
are because miraculously they tend to be

392
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,920
like that and you got to remember

393
00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:32,000
» So

394
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,920
great. Thank you.

395
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,720
» But we still have to talk in our mind.

396
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:39,360
» Yeah, that that is ultimately that is

397
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,519
that is one of the problems. Um and

398
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,760
that's um according to what they were

399
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:45,680
saying that's just like the problem with

400
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,680
that style of mic is it's got such a

401
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,720
long neck. You need to be speaking like

402
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,279
right into it for it to pick up your um

403
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,199
your

404
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:55,199
» Not that I'm looking at anyone.

405
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,680
So,

406
00:15:56,079 --> 00:16:02,079
» So you were saying that we need to uh

407
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,920
test out and see if those new settings

408
00:16:02,079 --> 00:16:06,320
work. Um, instead of waiting for the

409
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:09,040
next port, we could we just like test it

410
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,920
out like right now or another day.

411
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,199
» You did that already?

412
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,839
» Well, no. So, I haven't I haven't

413
00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:15,839
touched anything since he's been here. I

414
00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:17,360
in theory like we could just run like a

415
00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:19,519
mock board meeting, I guess. Yeah, that

416
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,880
that could work. Um,

417
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:23,040
» But

418
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,480
» Yeah, I mean that's that time and I mean

419
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,839
because we would want people in the

420
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,600
stands room. We'd want to set up the

421
00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:30,240
chairs the same so so it's not just like

422
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:34,000
an empty room because that's not the

423
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:35,839
format of working. So we just fig

424
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,360
it works right like we have

425
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:38,480
» That's good preference.

426
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,880
» Okay.

427
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:44,480
» So that's what we'll have at the next

428
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,160
board and we want to keep it on task.

429
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,480
Um, so we're going to see what it looks

430
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,519
like after the next board meeting and go

431
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:54,000
from there. Okay. Old business number B,

432
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:57,040
happy maintenance agreement with break.

433
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,600
» So, um, in your packets on the right

434
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,480
after the, um,

435
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:05,679
policy is a breakdown of the three

436
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:09,039
options that we have for the, um, for

437
00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:11,520
contract. Buying it outright, 48 months.

438
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:13,520
» So, you did good. The price is less. How

439
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,480
do you do that?

440
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:19,959
Last time I had it, it was 6621.

441
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,959
Now it's 6370.

442
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,559
» Yeah, you get them now.

443
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,600
» I I got my

444
00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:31,120
I guess 300 bucks.

445
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:34,160
» I have skills. So um so ultimately I

446
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:36,000
guess here now if we could uh just uh as

447
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,480
a group decide what we want to do.

448
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,120
Again, we didn't budget for this

449
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,320
expense. So um which is why originally

450
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:47,919
we were leaning towards the lease

451
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:50,480
option. Um, however, we have $6,3756

452
00:17:47,919 --> 00:17:51,919
that we could find to cover this uh

453
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,600
purchase and then we don't have to worry

454
00:17:51,919 --> 00:17:57,520
about um paying any interest or uh

455
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:01,919
anything of the sort. So, it's just

456
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:04,880
ultimately what um

457
00:18:01,919 --> 00:18:07,760
» Yeah, just so you look at it, 48 months

458
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,919
we're spending $630 more. 60 months

459
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:13,600
we're spending $816.

460
00:18:09,919 --> 00:18:15,440
» Yeah. Oh, right. I think that right.

461
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,880
» Well, I think Did you get Do we have an

462
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,640
estimate of what it would cost to

463
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,080
disclose the machine?

464
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,799
» No, I don't I don't think that's a

465
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,120
thing.

466
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:27,679
» If it's fair market

467
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:29,520
rental, right, or fair market value, if

468
00:18:27,679 --> 00:18:30,960
we say take where am I buying it, they

469
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,160
got to come take it back. There should

470
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,520
be no disposal.

471
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,400
» Yes.

472
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,640
» Since we bought it,

473
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,160
» But if we buy it out and take it back,

474
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,760
then we do have that issue.

475
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,360
» That's Yeah, that's what I was saying.

476
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,720
If we want to buy it out, well, yeah,

477
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:44,000
that would add to the

478
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,919
» So, if we buy it outright,

479
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,480
» Even higher, the differential

480
00:18:45,919 --> 00:18:50,480
» And disposing of it would be $500 and

481
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,400
we're really not saving any money to

482
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,240
them leasing it depending on how much

483
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,520
the cost is to if we buy it outright, we

484
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,400
have to dispose of it and pay whatever

485
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,440
disposal. If

486
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,480
» We're going to buy it outright, why

487
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,679
wouldn't we keep using it?

488
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,200
» It'll be obsolete in 5 years.

489
00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:07,200
» It'll be obsolete in 5 years.

490
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,840
» Okay. So, we would just we wouldn't

491
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,880
exercise that option. Here's your copy

492
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,320
of the back.

493
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,360
» It's not an option now. It's not an

494
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,160
option. If we buy it outright, oh, we

495
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:19,919
have to buy it out.

496
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:21,039
» No, outright or lease, right? So, yeah.

497
00:19:19,919 --> 00:19:21,440
So, if we buy it,

498
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:22,240
» Right,

499
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,919
» Five years from now,

500
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,760
» These two are if we lease it,

501
00:19:23,919 --> 00:19:27,440
» Right? If we lease it, then we can turn

502
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,280
it back. We have an option at that point

503
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,240
to either buy this at market value or

504
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,480
say take it back.

505
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,919
» But if we buy it outright, then at the

506
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,559
end of 5 years,

507
00:19:33,919 --> 00:19:39,280
» It's our stuck with it, right? So, we're

508
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:39,679
saying we're going to go with the lease,

509
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,320
» Okay,

510
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:44,000
» And not buying it because then we don't

511
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,520
have to worry about the disposal in 5

512
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,320
years.

513
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,120
» The more

514
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,520
» I'm so confused. If if that lease term

515
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,880
comes.

516
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,400
» No, no. Here's your chance.

517
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,039
» No, no, no. 5 years from now.

518
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,000
» Yes.

519
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:55,840
» If we buy it,

520
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,600
» We So, we we buy it tomorrow.

521
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,919
» Oh, you're saying if we buy it now?

522
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,520
» If we buy it now and 5 years from now

523
00:19:59,919 --> 00:20:04,320
when the technology is no longer

524
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,440
sufficient and we have to get a new one,

525
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,600
» Right?

526
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,080
We would have to dispose of that of of

527
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,640
our older one in some way in some what

528
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:17,480
would the expense be to get rid of the

529
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,480
one bring it over here.

530
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,039
» They don't take them.

531
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:23,200
» I mean in theory we could put it up for

532
00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:23,919
auction to see if there's any figures.

533
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,720
Um

534
00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:28,240
» That's time and money too.

535
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,159
» Yeah.

536
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,840
You know just so you know what the

537
00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:35,440
differential is. I just question if we

538
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,280
buy it outright,

539
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,640
» We it's still a part of the service

540
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,559
contract. So if something goes wrong

541
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,159
with it three and a half years is

542
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:43,840
service

543
00:20:42,159 --> 00:20:47,760
there's no difference. Exactly.

544
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:49,760
» It's just a matter of if we similar just

545
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,400
at the end of the term we own it and

546
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,600
they go

547
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,760
» Versus getting a an upgraded system

548
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,240
» And then we have to buy a new system and

549
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:02,159
dispose of the old system. So I would

550
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,600
say the 48-month lease, it is more

551
00:21:02,159 --> 00:21:04,960
expensive than buying it outright, but

552
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,480
in the end I think it would save us

553
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,120
money.

554
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,760
» So So the mindset is kind of like a car,

555
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:12,400
right? Every three years, 12 years in

556
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:12,720
one.

557
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,039
» Yep.

558
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,640
» Yep.

559
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:15,760
» Okay.

560
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,240
Theory, right?

561
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,600
» Yeah.

562
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,200
» If we're not going we're not going to

563
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,600
keep it till it falls.

564
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,760
» No, we are.

565
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,400
» Well, not call 30s. You really can't.

566
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,840
» I mean,

567
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,960
» You really can't keep them until they

568
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,159
call. Okay.

569
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,280
» They won't talk to your computers

570
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:27,919
anymore.

571
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,679
» Okay.

572
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:31,679
» Did you have a question, Robert?

573
00:21:29,679 --> 00:21:37,080
» Do you really think that disposal costs

574
00:21:31,679 --> 00:21:37,080
would be $600? Cuz that's pretty

575
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,240
$600 seems like a lot of

576
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:49,600
point. I I can't imagine be that high,

577
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:52,600
but I I don't know.

578
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,600
So

579
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,480
although if we buy something and

580
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,720
something goes wrong with it, you know,

581
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,960
it gets jammed, it says releasing it,

582
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,600
we'll get a new one. We bought it, it's

583
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:08,960
ours.

584
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,960
» Yeah, that's true. Um Google AI for what

585
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:15,600
it's worth says that office printer

586
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:17,600
costs anywhere from 0 to 265 plus um to

587
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,200
dispose of it depending on the size and

588
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,240
whether you drop it off or need pickup

589
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,559
service. So you figure even on the high

590
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,840
side it is 250

591
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:29,039
» $250 yes to dispose of it and then you

592
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,080
have to take it somewhere and yeah

593
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:33,440
that's today. So what over 35 years from

594
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,960
now?

595
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,080
» So what is what do you guys want to do

596
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,480
with me? I would say

597
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:44,080
» Would I think it'd be cheaper in the

598
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:46,159
long run to buy outright.

599
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,880
» Well, and I guess a caveat to this that

600
00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:52,640
we haven't addressed is this is

601
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:54,960
an assessor expense, right? So,

602
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,120
» Well, no, not really. I think I thought

603
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,039
the main copy is for the community

604
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:00,480
center. I'm just getting a little one.

605
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,039
» Oh, yeah. You're right. I'm sorry.

606
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,880
Ignore me.

607
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:04,559
» Yeah, take that back.

608
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:08,840
» Take

609
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:08,840
as long as it service contract.

610
00:23:09,919 --> 00:23:12,480
» Is it a printer or a copy machine?

611
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,559
» Yes.

612
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,280
» It's like what we have upstairs.

613
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:16,240
» The big one.

614
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,760
» Yeah.

615
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,159
» Only $200 to get rid of those.

616
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,440
» I think they're probably more than that.

617
00:23:20,159 --> 00:23:22,880
» So, let's find that out for the next

618
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,440
board meeting and then we'll have both

619
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,039
these up.

620
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,039
» Can we have both the options?

621
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:28,640
» I mean, yes, we can.

622
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:30,080
» Well, could you find this out by Friday

623
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,000
and then we'll know what to put on the

624
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,039
board agenda?

625
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,520
research.

626
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:39,039
» Yeah.

627
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:41,520
» I mean, I lease personally just

628
00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:43,200
have to worry about it. It's done.

629
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,880
» Well, with technology going, I don't

630
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,840
want to buy something that's outdated,

631
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:51,600
you know? I'd rather lease it.

632
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:53,440
» That's if that's our mindset and leasing

633
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,760
accomplishes that, right?

634
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,360
» Yeah. I mean, technology moves so

635
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,000
quickly. There's different people in

636
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:01,440
here in in 48 months. There might be a

637
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,159
different supervisor in here with a

638
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:07,039
different, you know, different there

639
00:24:04,159 --> 00:24:09,360
might be all new staff in there and new

640
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:11,120
computers will be done and you're going

641
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:11,520
to be stuck with this that might not

642
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:15,520
work

643
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:17,600
» And it's not it's not a jurious interest

644
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,480
» Factor that's in here. It's right about

645
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:23,760
5%. If they were charging us 20%

646
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:26,720
» No way agreed fun.

647
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:30,159
» It's $500 over six years which is

648
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:33,440
nothing really. So, I would suggest we

649
00:24:30,159 --> 00:24:34,880
go with the state move.

650
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,240
» Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank

651
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:41,360
you, everybody. All right.

652
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:43,919
Um, and I was incorrect with the Russo

653
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:45,760
power mower quote um that we didn't need

654
00:24:43,919 --> 00:24:47,200
to vote on it. We did because again,

655
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,159
we're having these problems with the

656
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:53,440
mowers. Um, Mike and his team put

657
00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:55,279
together uh the you know, is it a it's a

658
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,320
replacement? It's in the budget. Um,

659
00:24:55,279 --> 00:25:00,640
it's lower than what's budgeted. Um, so

660
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:04,240
there's three of these. The worst one

661
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:06,400
will get put to auction or and then the

662
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:11,200
least working one is so we'll still have

663
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:13,039
it. Um, he did all the and so thank you

664
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,799
for putting this together. Is there any

665
00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:16,997
questions? Otherwise, we will be voting

666
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:18,799
on this

667
00:25:16,997 --> 00:25:20,480
[clears throat] in the consent agenda

668
00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:24,960
unless you wanted it to be discussed at

669
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:27,120
the board meeting. She wanted discuss

670
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,480
but we did. Okay. And then I said we

671
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:31,919
didn't need to vote on it in the board

672
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,960
meeting, but we do need to vote on it.

673
00:25:31,919 --> 00:25:35,279
» That made sense to me.

674
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,679
» It's it's in the budget. We turned it to

675
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:40,640
the right budget line.

676
00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:42,159
So, we'll put it in the consent agenda.

677
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,919
» I think it could still be pulled out and

678
00:25:42,159 --> 00:25:47,679
discussed if anybody has any questions.

679
00:25:45,919 --> 00:25:50,400
So, Mike and your team, thank you for

680
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:54,720
putting that together.

681
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:56,400
» Uh then we just have training. uh bring

682
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,559
we're just putting it in the cow packet

683
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,559
and in the board packet and it'll be

684
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:02,559
part of my report. Again, it's been on

685
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:07,440
the website. I've spoken about it.

686
00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:10,240
Again, just putting it to rest.

687
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,919
Any questions about that?

688
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,919
Number seven, updates from department

689
00:26:11,919 --> 00:26:14,919
heads.

690
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:20,080
» No worries. Um I need to be ranted. So,

691
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,679
uh the first thing I have to discuss is

692
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,159
uh TOI, the annual conference in

693
00:26:21,679 --> 00:26:26,320
November. Um the early registration

694
00:26:24,159 --> 00:26:28,080
window is closing. Um so I just wanted

695
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,559
to kind of get a a head count of

696
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:34,240
interested parties um looking to go. Um

697
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:36,640
so far I'm um we believe uh supervisor

698
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:39,760
will um say that she'd like to attend. I

699
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:42,400
will be down there. Mariana uh Jeff from

700
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,919
the highway department and then uh Jesse

701
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,679
Sams you're still interested in going.

702
00:26:43,919 --> 00:26:48,840
Is there anybody else that we can work

703
00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:48,840
on pre-regist

704
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:52,279
next week?

705
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,480
» I spoke to Professor Libright and we

706
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,880
don't necessarily feel like it's an

707
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,120
annual thing for all trustees to attend.

708
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,679
So, I'm fine skipping this year and

709
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:05,679
we'll see.

710
00:27:03,679 --> 00:27:07,120
» And I might not go, but I'd rather get

711
00:27:05,679 --> 00:27:09,360
the right council. Yeah.

712
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:11,120
» Um because I live in before. So, we'll

713
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:13,039
see.

714
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:15,840
» I probably won't make it this year.

715
00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:18,080
That's fine. It's it in the previous

716
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,120
four years, mine was online when I was a

717
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,080
trustee. So,

718
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:23,440
» Oh, thank you so much for

719
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,440
» Yeah, there's good and bad, right?

720
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,559
» And better food.

721
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,400
» So, thank you.

722
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:32,120
» I think everybody should get a chance to

723
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,120
drive down

724
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:38,640
» Keeping us going as you know.

725
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:39,134
» Yes. Um

726
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,279
the

727
00:27:39,134 --> 00:27:41,520
» [clears throat]

728
00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:43,039
» Um we've had multiple conversations

729
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,039
about uh the township's interest in

730
00:27:43,039 --> 00:27:46,720
applying for this year's OLED grant

731
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:48,559
which is the open space land acquisition

732
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:52,240
and development uh as it relates to Knox

733
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:54,159
Park. Um we knew it was a very involved

734
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,960
um grant. However, we didn't quite

735
00:27:54,159 --> 00:27:58,880
understand the scope of that until um

736
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,760
some conversations we've had with Dewald

737
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,360
Hamilton. So uh we will not be applying

738
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,559
for it this year. um we're just nowhere

739
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:08,960
near ready um to be in a position to put

740
00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:11,840
together a competitive bid that wouldn't

741
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,039
be forced and rushed. Um so instead of

742
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,200
» And the cost of putting

743
00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:16,720
» Well, yeah. So instead of um

744
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,120
» You know, spending all that money ahead

745
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,880
of time and then probably still not

746
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:22,080
being where we need to be, um we're

747
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,000
going to take a more calculated

748
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:27,760
approach. And so the kind of the first

749
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,279
step of of this grant will be um uh

750
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:33,279
conversations that we have during our

751
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:35,120
strategic plan um into uh uh

752
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:36,559
specifically uh as it relates again to

753
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:39,279
to next parks improvement. So, we have

754
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:42,000
like a tentative wish list of items, but

755
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:44,159
that can be fleshed out um in more

756
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,039
detail and and have more public

757
00:28:44,159 --> 00:28:50,000
engagement um a more and have a more

758
00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:52,720
formalized process again to have our um

759
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,360
our uh our bids for next year's grant be

760
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,960
more competitive.

761
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,760
And then the last thing I just want to

762
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,760
give an update on our um we have two uh

763
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,760
RFPs that are currently out there. one

764
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,960
for the staircase project in which I

765
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,720
have not heard of any I have not

766
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:13,360
received any interest or inquiries about

767
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:17,279
that. Um the IT RFP is the exact

768
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:20,159
opposite. Um my calendar is filled with

769
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:23,919
questions and meetings regarding um our

770
00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:25,520
IT infrastructure. Um I've had I've

771
00:29:23,919 --> 00:29:28,880
already had numerous uh we've had our

772
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,720
first bid come in already. Um

773
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:34,159
so

774
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:36,480
uh the um we have a committee that's

775
00:29:34,159 --> 00:29:38,640
going to end up reviewing the the uh

776
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,080
bids as they come in or after the the

777
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,200

count the August cow meeting um to to

780
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:50,960
move forward so that we can ideally vote

781
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:54,320
on a new vendor in September and then

782
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:56,960
begin with the begin with a vendor. May

783
00:29:54,320 --> 00:30:00,080
be the kind of also more than welcome to

784
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,480
participate. Um,

785
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,880
» Okay.

786
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,520
» What a October 1st.

787
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,720
» Thank you.

788
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,000
» Okay. Um, cemetery and transportation.

789
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,919
Um, I don't have anything

790
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,120
transportation. Status quo. Everything's

791
00:30:11,919 --> 00:30:17,360
going great. Uh, cemetery. So, at our

792
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,600
July 1st cemetery board meeting, the

793
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,600
board voted to appoint Melissa Michael,

794
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,399
who's Carol Sullivan's daughter, and

795
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:26,399
Larry Skeleddy as our new board members.

796
00:30:24,399 --> 00:30:29,600
Our first meeting with them is scheduled

797
00:30:26,399 --> 00:30:32,559
for August 19th. Um at the August 12th

798
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,480
board meeting, we're going to do a

799
00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:36,399
recognition of Carol Sullivan for all of

800
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,679
her years of service on the cemetery

801
00:30:36,399 --> 00:30:41,760
board since she has stepped down. Um in

802
00:30:39,679 --> 00:30:43,840
terms of plot inquiries, there's been a

803
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,520
lot, but none have progressed. We do

804
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,600
have potential cremation burial

805
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,559
upcoming. I should hear more about that

806
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,720
next week. And then lastly, cemetery

807
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:55,200
manager Thompson walked play serve

808
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:57,200
cemetery, picked up trash, decorations,

809
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,520
things like that, and said everything's

810
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,919
looking good.

811
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:04,080
Any questions?

812
00:31:01,919 --> 00:31:06,000
» Thank you.

813
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,240
» Any questions? Okay, wonderful. Thank

814
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,320
you, Canadian Center.

815
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:14,000
So, uh, next week will be the last

816
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:17,360
week's camp. It's been a very, um,

817
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:21,600
weather interesting summer, but Joe and

818
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:25,679
St. done amazingly. Um

819
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:29,360
we are scheduled for October for a

820
00:31:25,679 --> 00:31:33,039
native plant presentation. Um Trusty

821
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:35,520
Glass's project of um doing some native

822
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:36,960
plant um gardening, but we're bringing

823
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,559
Lake County Forest Preserve. They've

824
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,640
done this class with us before. It'll be

825
00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:42,880
in the evening, so all residents can

826
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,760
attend. Um there'll be more information

827
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,760
when that comes in. And um obviously

828
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,279
we'll be there after November to send a

829
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,200
newsletter which goes out to the

830
00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:55,440
township. So we'll have great publicity

831
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:58,320
for it. Um on Monday, Kristen Nelson

832
00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:00,559
will start as our final position to be

833
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:03,279
placed in. So we'll be back at full

834
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:05,039
staff. She'll be our program specialist.

835
00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:08,159
I've been working with Liberty Lakes,

836
00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:11,279
both um the management there and with

837
00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:14,080
YWCA representatives, just to get um

838
00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:16,880
some barriers removed for those folks

839
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:21,600
that started um acquiring some of our

840
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:23,679
services. And so on September

841
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,840
2nd, I believe it's a Wednesday. Um and

842
00:32:23,679 --> 00:32:29,600
all Wednesdays following, I will be

843
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:32,480
teaching a um early explorers class. So,

844
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:35,600
not moms and tox and whoever is

845
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:39,200
caregiving for them. Back to my roots is

846
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:43,057
the wide. So, um that'll be great for 6

847
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:46,120
months to 5 years old. So, um and

848
00:32:43,057 --> 00:32:46,120
[music] then

849
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:52,480
and then obviously that will be a great

850
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:56,559
gateway for folks to be aware of our

851
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:59,120
homework club um living and the big

852
00:32:56,559 --> 00:33:01,120

00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,600

855
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:09,600
are um working quite hard on that right

856
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,559
now. And other than that, our last

857
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,799
counter on the patio had over 85 people.

858
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:19,519
It was amazing. We had two members of um

859
00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:22,720
American English and there so

860
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:24,720
reminder everyone September 19th is

861
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,360

» I wasn't going to take it. Maybe we

883
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,560
» The main thing is is um she asked uh

884
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,200
Sarah was asked to participate with the

885
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:23,280
lac farmers market on August 7th. So I'm

886
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,520
putting together some flyers for that.

887
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,440
Um it's basically this poster that we

888
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,639
have what the township does to hand out

889
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,879
to people. Um and so we're excited about

890
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:37,040
that and read anything else that she has

891
00:34:32,879 --> 00:34:39,280
on there. Um and then Highway of Park.

892
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,960
» Okay. Tomorrow we have our

893
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,240
pre-construction meeting here at town

894
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:47,760
hall. Uh I believe it's at 1:00 for our

895
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:49,440
gold resurfacing project. And uh once we

896
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,879
get everything settled tomorrow, we

897
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,159
should have a uh starting time for that

898
00:34:52,879 --> 00:34:57,040
pretty soon after that because I know

899
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:59,040
brothers want to get going. I will uh

900
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,359
keep everybody informed on when they

901
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,520
plan on starting the project. Uh we

902
00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:04,720
removed and replaced 400 ft of John

903
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,359
Street at the front entrance at the

904
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:08,880
community center. I think it looks uh

905
00:35:07,359 --> 00:35:12,240
pretty good. The guys did a really good

906
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:14,720
job. Uh the community center generator

907
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:17,520
startup went well and is currently

the one doing the uh pre-construct

915
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,920
preconstruction meeting so Darren

916
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,119
doesn't fill us the

917
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,880
» Okay

918
00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:43,839
» We've been talking with Gay and how we

919
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:46,240
can reduce their charges. So he's having

920
00:35:43,839 --> 00:35:49,440
people who are not at his level to do

921
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:52,000
some of the other tests. So thank you.

922
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:54,800
» Uh the uh big opening is tomorrow at

923
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,680
10:00. As soon as Gayla puts all the

924
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,680
numbers together, I will send them over

925
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,440
um post online and then we'll let

926
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,960
everybody know what those come out to

927
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,560
be. Um I also have a lake and highway

928
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,960
commissioners meeting tomorrow in

929
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:13,200
Wakanda

930
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:15,680
and I spoke with uh Chief Paul Sagala

931
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,280
for Long Fire Protection District and he

932
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,400
wants us to do some work over at their

933
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:23,760
firehouse. Um, we did some work in the

934
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:27,040
past for them and we build Long Road for

935
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:29,680
this. Um, I spoke with administrator

936
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,680
Marciniac and uh, we think it's probably

937
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:35,280
a pretty good idea to put IG together

938
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:39,359
with Long Fire Protection District. Um,

939
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:41,200
for going forward, they're expecting the

940
00:36:39,359 --> 00:36:43,520
new firehouse to get approved, their

941
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,200
final plans approved. So, anything we do

942
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,359
as the old ones are all going to be

943
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,520
temporary for now. Uh they just want

944
00:36:47,359 --> 00:36:51,520
some trees trimmed up. They want the

945
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,599
parking lot striped and there's a little

946
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,640
hole in the back they want some

947
00:36:53,599 --> 00:37:00,000
» Will that be ready for August?

948
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:02,320
» It is done.

949
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,680
» I spoke with Chris Barkman. He said that

950
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,160
we can go ahead and do the work now and

951
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:08,480
just go along, you know, we have time to

952
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,680
do the work.

953
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,119
» That's all I got.

954
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,200
» Do you want to mention our storm sewer

955
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:14,800
meeting too?

956
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,320
» Um

957
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,440
no, it's three. Okay.

958
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,760
» It's not that big of a deal.

959
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,280
» Okay.

960
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,960
» We're we're going out there.

961
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,839
» No, I mean the meeting we had was the

962
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,520
Lake County.

963
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:25,520
» Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was the

964
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:29,440
other one.

965
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:32,720
» Um uh myself, supervisor, Supervisor

966
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:38,119
Will White, and um administrator Marcia.

967
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:38,119
met with Kurt Wolfford and

968
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,440
» Brian

969
00:37:39,839 --> 00:37:45,359
» Brian Brian Frank from Lake County uh

970
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:49,680
SFC

971
00:37:45,359 --> 00:37:53,760
water commission. Um, and uh, they

972
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:56,760
informed us that uh, uh, I have my right

973
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,760
here.

974
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:04,240
Uh, there's a bunch of stuff going on

975
00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:06,720
um, uh, over at Echo Lake. They have uh,

976
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:10,240
what's been an ongoing problem. There is

977
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:13,520
a storm water pipe that goes under Echo

978
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:16,960
Lake itself that comes from Lake Zurich.

979
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:18,560
Um, Lake Zurich actually owns the pipe.

980
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,320
They're having problems with the pipe.

981
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,079
They think that this pipe has been there

982
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,280
since the 1930s, I think he said.

983
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:24,640
» No, it's over 100 years old.

984
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,960
» It's over 100 years old. It's been there

985
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,599
a long time. And sooner or later, it's

986
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,119
going to have some problems. It does

987
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:33,040
have problems. It'll drain the entire

988
00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:34,560
way.

989
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,400
» So,

990
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:42,400
as of as of right now, they are looking

991
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:44,000
into different options. Um, they thought

992
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,560
about asking us to go through our

993
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:51,119
rightway, which would that be a good

994
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:52,560
idea? Um, oh yeah,

995
00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:55,440
uh, they talked about trying to go under

996
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:58,960
the road and as of right now, everything

997
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:01,280
is just put on hold. The study's put on

998
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,760
hold and they're just going to leave the

999
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,000
status quo. So,

1000
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,240
» Lake So, this is under Lake County's

1001
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,920
responsibility like or I mean they're

1002
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:11,680
they're aware of it. Have they shared

1003
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,040
this information with Lake Zurich and

1004
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,119
the homeowners association?

1005
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,400
» Lake Zurich. Go ahead.

1006
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:18,240
» Yes. Yes.

1007
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,079
» Yes. The home I don't know about the

1008
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:21,440
homeowners association. We've been

1009
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:23,280
trying to get in touch with them.

1010
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,640
» I don't think echo like they know

1011
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,320
something is going on but I don't think

1012
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,240
they have like a full scope of the

1013
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,079
details cuz when we brought it up at one

1014
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:32,079
meeting we went to we had just heard

1015
00:39:30,079 --> 00:39:34,000
about it like literally the day before.

1016
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:35,359
So um we didn't have much to share with

1017
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,520
them. So if they've heard anything

1018
00:39:35,359 --> 00:39:40,520
outside of that we don't know. Um,

1019
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:46,000
» So yeah, it it's just something we're

1020
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,680
working on. Um, it's not really we don't

1021
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,079
have to do anything.

1022
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,359
» The the lake is owned by the homeowners.

1023
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:54,760
» So if there's a problem,

1024
00:39:51,359 --> 00:39:54,760
» It's the homeowners.

1025
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,839
» So yeah, we we were just talking about

1026
00:39:57,599 --> 00:40:01,440
like if if that worst case scenario

1027
00:39:59,839 --> 00:40:03,359
would happen and people called the

1028
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,680
township, what would we do? So we're

1029
00:40:03,359 --> 00:40:08,400
just kind of going through communication

1030
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:10,800
plans. give them nice number.

1031
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,560
» So yeah, we have been trying to get in

1032
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,960
touch with the home assoc association.

1033
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,800
» We have been for a while. We had some

1034
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:19,440
testing done as well. Do you want to

1035
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:22,320
talk about the testing? Uh we did some

1036
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,240
storm water testing at uh three

1037
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,160
different locations

1038
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:29,280
uh because the Echo Lake homeowners

1039
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:31,280
association uh they made some statements

1040
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:34,880
that the fertilization that we're doing

1041
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:37,760
is causing the uh Echo Lake to develop

1042
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:40,079
the uh blue algae.

1043
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:43,040
Um and it's making it unsafe to swim in

1044
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:46,079
the lake. So we did some testing at

1045
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:49,440
three different locations. uh one on our

1046
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:53,520
property, the east property at Kgi Park,

1047
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:56,079
the west property at Kgi Park um and

1048
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:59,760
then at the outfall going into Echo Lake

1049
00:40:56,079 --> 00:41:03,359
itself. And all the results showed that

1050
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:07,040
there is um

1051
00:41:03,359 --> 00:41:10,400
nitrogen, phosphorus and phosphates that

1052
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:13,680
are all in fertilizer and all the

1053
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,560
amounts are super low. hardly anything

1054
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,119
» Negligible.

1055
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,079
» Yeah.

1056
00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:17,359
» Okay.

1057
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:20,640
» We had received a letter from the

1058
00:41:17,359 --> 00:41:22,800
homeowners association um with concern.

1059
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,319
So we have this information. We've been

1060
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,880
trying to get in touch with them and

1061
00:41:24,319 --> 00:41:27,839
they haven't responded. So thank you

1062
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,640
Mike. Anything else?

1063
00:41:27,839 --> 00:41:30,640
» No.

1064
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,400
» Okay. Thank you.

1065
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,160
» All right. Any questions? Oh, the road

1066
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,720
service team. Did you take out the old

1067
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,119
report?

1068
00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:36,640
» Yes.

1069
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:38,560
» Okay.

1070
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:41,520
Yes, that is out of the budget.

1071
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,280
» Okay. And that will save

1072
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:46,560
» Um

1073
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,920
I'm thinking 30,000.

1074
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,839
» Can't know for sure cuz we're only going

1075
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,599
by the EOPC from the year.

1076
00:41:49,839 --> 00:41:53,760
» We we moved one of the roads out for a

1077
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:55,920
future road. It's just um it's a port

1078
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,839
that is used to go to a daycare. So, it

1079
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,640
doesn't have heavy uses. It's not used

1080
00:41:57,839 --> 00:42:02,319
every day. It's open court. Um because

1081
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,920
we had gone over we were trying to make

1082
00:42:02,319 --> 00:42:06,480
sure that it falls in the budget. What's

1083
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:08,800
budgeted? Spending wasn't budgeted. So

1084
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:11,359
making sure we have the money before we

1085
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,440
spend it. So thank you for doing that.

1086
00:42:11,359 --> 00:42:15,680
Um updates from elected officials.

1087
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,480
Eight. Trusty Bowman's not here. Trusty

1088
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,760
West.

1089
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:21,680
» Okay. So uh Susan already mentioned the

1090
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:25,119
conference initiative that she talked

1091
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:27,280
about. Uh I've been trying to contact

1092
00:42:25,119 --> 00:42:32,000
who is also uh hopefully going to play

1093
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:35,440
accordingly. Um I twice receive a

1094
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:39,280
response back. Um I'm not sure

1095
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:40,319
they gain contract with them and I'll

1096
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,319
keep at it.

1097
00:42:40,319 --> 00:42:44,240
» Yeah, they sometimes they take off in

1098
00:42:42,319 --> 00:42:46,720
July assembly, you know.

1099
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:48,480
» So I'll volunteer organization. If you

1100
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:52,319
have trouble, I contact you.

1101
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:54,000
» Okay. Um I'll I'll give it like another.

1102
00:42:52,319 --> 00:42:58,640
» Okay. Anything else?

1103
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:01,440
» Um no, I think that's all.

1104
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:04,400
» Only update. auditors are nearing

1105
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:06,560
completion. I had

1106
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:11,359
Kathy and I will final questions

1107
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:13,839
responding to that. So hopefully and

1108
00:43:11,359 --> 00:43:16,160
» How is your um experience with the

1109
00:43:13,839 --> 00:43:17,359
auditors this year versus the previous

1110
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,119
auditors we had?

1111
00:43:17,359 --> 00:43:19,920
» Well, previous I had none.

1112
00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:22,240
» Oh, really? Okay.

1113
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,640
» No interaction, right? They they came in

1114
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:27,280
did their stuff. There was never a word.

1115
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:30,319
» So this is

1116
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:34,000
leaps and bounds better. So interaction,

1117
00:43:30,319 --> 00:43:36,000
planning, field work, the hope that it's

1118
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,000
how it should be. So

1119
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:41,200
» Thank you for finding us a new company

1120
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,480
and having it be more concise to make

1121
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,640
sure that we're doing everything right.

1122
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:48,480
» Right. Right. No, it's

1123
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:52,640
the areas they've gotten into and at

1124
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:54,960
least the comments I got from Cathy and

1125
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,520
from the standpoint of looking at those

1126
00:43:54,960 --> 00:44:01,040
areas

1127
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:03,680
controls etc. It's good.

1128
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:06,560
» Great. Thank you. Thank you for heading

1129
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:09,520
that project up too.

1130
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:12,560
» Anything else?

1131
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:15,040
» That should be safe. He's one of the

1132
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:17,680
people that put in the proposal, right?

1133
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:19,599
So, they followed up last week, right?

1134
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,280
Say, "Well, where are we with this?"

1135
00:44:19,599 --> 00:44:22,880
Now, I'm thinking, "Wait a second." That

1136
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,200
was how many months ago did we go

1137
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:29,119
through the proposal? And that was part

1138
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:30,960
of the course who questioned it. So,

1139
00:44:29,119 --> 00:44:34,839
we're ready to get started.

1140
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,839
» 5 months after the proposal.

1141
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,200
» No, no, no. One, one of the other

1142
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,440
biders.

1143
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,960
» One of the other biders.

1144
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,599
So,

1145
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:47,599
Glad we made the decision.

1146
00:44:43,599 --> 00:44:49,920
Just I have no other

1147
00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:53,680
cracker. I have a few things. Um the

1148
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:56,720
first thing is the um packet that was

1149
00:44:53,680 --> 00:45:00,240
passed out. Um please

1150
00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:02,319
this is our um current

1151
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:05,040
um application to dispose of local

1152
00:45:02,319 --> 00:45:09,359
records. This is the what we have been

1153
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:11,280
working on since um 1984. So,

1154
00:45:09,359 --> 00:45:13,359
um, this is obviously in need of an

1155
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,839
update. I have been trying for a long

1156
00:45:13,359 --> 00:45:18,480
time, many, many, many attempts to get a

1157
00:45:15,839 --> 00:45:21,280
hold of anybody at the at the state to

1158
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,359
see, okay, this needs to be updated,

1159
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,680
obviously. Finally got a hold of him

1160
00:45:23,359 --> 00:45:28,079
today. Um, he pulled our record and

1161
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,720
literally said, wow, yours is older than

1162
00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:33,119
the hills. So,

1163
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:35,440
we just and I talked this afternoon,

1164
00:45:33,119 --> 00:45:37,760
morning, whatever. And we will be

1165
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:40,880
working together to figure out what we

1166
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:42,720
have. Um, because some of this is stuff

1167
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,240
that we no longer have. Some we have a

1168
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:46,480
lot of records as the township has

1169
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:50,560
changed since 1984. We have stuff that

1170
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:52,400
is not even documented in here. Um, so

1171
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,760
we'll be working to get this updated,

1172
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,640
hoping to work on that in the next

1173
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:59,280
couple weeks. Um just so you know this

1174
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:01,680
records retention where it says um so

1175
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:04,400
just looking at page one where it says

1176
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:07,200
uh the first one officials vote on an

1177
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,800
appointment um retained for two years

1178
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,960
following the term of office and dispose

1179
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:13,599
of that does not mean we can just

1180
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:15,920
dispose of it. We mean it means we after

1181
00:46:13,599 --> 00:46:18,720
two years we can apply to the state to

1182
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,319
get permission to destroy it. Nothing

1183
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:23,280
can be disposed of without permission

1184
00:46:20,319 --> 00:46:26,160
from the state. So, um I sent out a

1185
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:29,920
message to department heads this morning

1186
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:32,160
seeking any um documentation that you

1187
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:35,520
have of any kind in your office if you

1188
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:37,359
have titles or I have I guess um of

1189
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,880
stuff that is being housed especially

1190
00:46:37,359 --> 00:46:42,560
health and wellness. I went down there.

1191
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:45,359
They have insurance documents and person

1192
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:47,200
paperwork that we don't leave upstairs.

1193
00:46:45,359 --> 00:46:49,200
The only township records that are not

1194
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:52,400
covered by this are assessor's records.

1195
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:54,240
All of your records are yours. You have

1196
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,119
your own number that does not start with

1197
00:46:54,240 --> 00:47:00,319
84. Um,

1198
00:46:57,119 --> 00:47:02,960
so we'll be working on that just to get

1199
00:47:00,319 --> 00:47:04,960
a handle on what all we have so that we

1200
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:07,280
can get an updated record. But in the

1201
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,280
meantime, this is the official township

1202
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:12,800
township policy for destruction of

1203
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:14,720
records and has been for a minute. Um,

1204
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:17,839
Lake County Clerk's Office has decided

1205
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:20,800
to locate exterior vote by mailboxes

1206
00:47:17,839 --> 00:47:22,800
elsewhere in the county. Um, I talked to

1207
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,359
them and said we would still like to do

1208
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:28,880
that if you change your mind. Um, I also

1209
00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:32,880
talked to uh Lori and Jessica about

1210
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:36,000
during the early voting window making um

1211
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:38,960
allowing our transportation to be used

1212
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:42,000
for those who use our transportation for

1213
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:44,960
free to bring them to town hall to vote.

1214
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:49,680
So that would hopefully for those who

1215
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:51,920
may not have access to get here um make

1216
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,359
it an extra stop on their trip or make a

1217
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,280
separate trip and we have to work out

1218
00:47:53,359 --> 00:47:56,240
the details on that. But she feels

1219
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,240
pretty confident we'll be able to

1220
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:59,599
accommodate that without any trouble.

1221
00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:02,079
» So great idea.

1222
00:47:59,599 --> 00:48:03,359
» Yeah. No, I think it should be good. Um

1223
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:05,280
that would be something Susan will

1224
00:48:03,359 --> 00:48:06,560
probably talk to you about too that we

1225
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,440
should certainly

1226
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:12,079
» Yeah. Good. Um, and then a very small

1227
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,520
thing. Um, I want to thank Bonnie for

1228
00:48:12,079 --> 00:48:15,200
sitting down with me and looking at my

1229
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,040
property tax records and identifying

1230
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,720
that I do not have a greenhouse on my

1231
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:23,040
property that I've been paying taxes for

1232
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:25,440
for 40 years. Um, so I just think it's

1233
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,960
on it's been on the record forever. Um,

1234
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,400
getting it off and changing it and

1235
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,760
fixing it going forward. It doesn't save

1236
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:34,599
me a lot of money, but save me a little

1237
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:34,599
bit. So, it was worth it to

1238
00:48:35,359 --> 00:48:42,960
even know. Um, so that is I encourage

1239
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:45,839
anyone else to sit down and go through

1240
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,280
your record. I found one. My next door

1241
00:48:45,839 --> 00:48:50,079
neighbor was being charged for a half

1242
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:53,520
bath. They don't have. So there's little

1243
00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:54,960
errors in there. You can find them. Save

1244
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,319
a little bit of money. That's all I

1245
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,440
have.

1246
00:48:56,319 --> 00:49:02,640
» All right. That's Bington. Well, we

1247
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:04,960
published last Thursday. So our office

1248
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,160
has been a little bit heavier with bus

1249
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:09,040
traffic.

1250
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:11,280
uh and phone calls. Um I'm pleased to

1251
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:14,559
say we only have 16 appeal styles so

1252
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:16,960
far. So, you know, from Thursday to

1253
00:49:14,559 --> 00:49:18,720
almost a week, so it's pretty good. Um

1254
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,480
we are getting a lot of phone calls.

1255
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:22,960
We're explaining things to people,

1256
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:25,680
explaining them, you know, how it works.

1257
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:28,720
Um most everybody is completely

1258
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:30,480
satisfied that they're they have things

1259
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:33,280
explained. We have been able to help

1260
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:35,839
some people with factual errors. Um, I

1261
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,839
am being a little bit stingier with

1262
00:49:35,839 --> 00:49:41,359
reductions this year than I was last

1263
00:49:37,839 --> 00:49:44,400
year because I am able to explain and

1264
00:49:41,359 --> 00:49:47,760
show my work from this year where last

1265
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:50,240
year because it was acubase I had no

1266
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:53,200
documentation of how they did anything.

1267
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:57,359
So, um, that's also a lot help more

1268
00:49:53,200 --> 00:50:00,319
helpful. We did come across um our first

1269
00:49:57,359 --> 00:50:04,000
state appeal that we're having problems

1270
00:50:00,319 --> 00:50:07,359
with because Warren Dixon from Acubase

1271
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:09,520
did not leave any proof of the work that

1272
00:50:07,359 --> 00:50:12,640
he did or how he came up with the

1273
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:15,760
information. The county is not able to

1274
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:17,920
determine how the industrial property

1275
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:20,640
equalization vector was determined last

1276
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:24,880
year. So, we have a couple state appeals

1277
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:27,280
to where um there's a hole and hopefully

1278
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:29,440
that's not going to cost a bunch of

1279
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:33,200
money to the taxing bodies, but it

1280
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:37,040
could. Um so, we're working through

1281
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:39,359
that. Um tonight is my event here at the

1282
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:43,200
township. I just got my blue notice.

1283
00:50:39,359 --> 00:50:46,000
Now, what we've had a lot of people say

1284
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:48,800
they're coming. There was a lot of um

1285
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:52,480
requests for it to be virtual as well.

1286
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:56,079
So I did uh price shopped Zoom

1287
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:59,119
memberships and I did a one month Zoom

1288
00:50:56,079 --> 00:51:01,680
membership for $21.99.

1289
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:03,839
Made sure that had our tax exempt status

1290
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:07,280
did not charge us back and

1291
00:51:03,839 --> 00:51:09,599
» Thank you did did sign up for that. Um

1292
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:12,720
and I turned my invoice to Kathy for

1293
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:14,400
this next board meeting. Um, so it will

1294
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:17,200
be virtual. If you want to sit at home

1295
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:22,319
tonight and pop some popcorn, you can

1296
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:26,160
hear uh I'm uh I'll be joined by Amaya,

1297
00:51:22,319 --> 00:51:29,200
Val, um, and Andrew will be staying with

1298
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:32,240
me tonight. So, we'll um will have a

1299
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:36,079
chance to meet our team and kind of ex

1300
00:51:32,240 --> 00:51:39,200
be explaining what we do. Um,

1301
00:51:36,079 --> 00:51:41,760
we do have one, uh, college student

1302
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:45,920
named Kai that's been working for us

1303
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:47,680
this summer. He leaves um, in the first

1304
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:51,359
three weeks of August to go back to

1305
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:53,599
college. I will be just doing a small

1306
00:51:51,359 --> 00:51:58,400
appreciation lunch for him. He has done

1307
00:51:53,599 --> 00:52:01,440
a great job. Um, and then Eli, who is

1308
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:04,480
our high school student that works for

1309
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:07,200
us more year round, um, goes back to

1310
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:09,839
school. So, I'm debating whether or not

1311
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:12,559
I need to hire somebody temporary

1312
00:52:09,839 --> 00:52:15,119
part-time to kind of fill those shoes,

1313
00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:16,880
which we did have somebody who

1314
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:20,400
unexpectedly

1315
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:23,920
uh, quit this morning,

1316
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:27,119
so that was kind of a shock. Uh nothing

1317
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:29,599
bad, just found another job. So, you

1318
00:52:27,119 --> 00:52:33,359
know, um blessings to him moving

1319
00:52:29,599 --> 00:52:37,520
forward. Um but it leaves us in a little

1320
00:52:33,359 --> 00:52:39,920
bit of a lurch. So, um as you might not

1321
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:42,319
know, Andrew, my full-time field guy,

1322
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:45,839
his wife is expecting their first baby

1323
00:52:42,319 --> 00:52:47,920
at the end of August, August 20th,

1324
00:52:45,839 --> 00:52:51,760
although I think she'll be delivering

1325
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:54,160
early. He did commit today to uh he

1326
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:57,119
doesn't want to have me hire somebody

1327
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:59,359
else that would be quickly trained

1328
00:52:57,119 --> 00:53:03,359
because he likes doing things the right

1329
00:52:59,359 --> 00:53:07,119
way which in his eyes is his way and uh

1330
00:53:03,359 --> 00:53:08,960
so he would prefer to for the few first

1331
00:53:07,119 --> 00:53:12,160
couple weeks I don't have family in the

1332
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:14,400
area he's going to go on a modified work

1333
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:17,280
schedule where he will come in one to

1334
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:19,119
two days per week work with the field

1335
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,920
work go out and do those things as the

1336
00:53:19,119 --> 00:53:24,559
summer's ending up. And then he will do

1337
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:28,319
the inputting and stuff at home um

1338
00:53:24,559 --> 00:53:31,200
through our VPN access and and still be

1339
00:53:28,319 --> 00:53:34,480
able to um

1340
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:38,000
work without us hiring somebody else,

1341
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:40,400
which I'm very thankful for that. Um

1342
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:43,599
getting a lot of positive feedback from

1343
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:45,280
people. Um, I would encourage any of you

1344
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:48,400
that live here. I wish I could help you,

1345
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:51,280
Mike, to and

1346
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,960
I can. So, but you're free to still

1347
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:56,000
watch tonight. I mean, maybe you'll get

1348
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:57,520
some information um to come in if you

1349
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,400
have questions about your assessment.

1350
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:03,440
Like Kristen said, we were able to find

1351
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:06,800
a factual mistake that maybe bought our

1352
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:09,359
three Starbucks drinks for the year. So,

1353
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:13,400
um, definitely worth coming in and I

1354
00:54:09,359 --> 00:54:13,400
hope to see some of you tonight.

1355
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,160
I just wanted to congratulate you, too.

1356
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,800
Lake County is using a video she put

1357
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:23,119
together on how to appeal. Um, so it's

1358
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,480
being used by Lake County. So, that is

1359
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:25,200
that. And, um,

1360
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,960
» Thank you.

1361
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,520
» Thank you for doing the extended hours

1362
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:32,240
during this time, too. So, just

1363
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:34,079
» Oh, yeah. So, um,

1364
00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:37,119
quite a few seniors have come in, Susan,

1365
00:54:34,079 --> 00:54:39,359
so this might be something that, um, I

1366
00:54:37,119 --> 00:54:41,359
can get a flyer printed or something for

1367
00:54:39,359 --> 00:54:43,440
you to hand out that they weren't aware

1368
00:54:41,359 --> 00:54:46,559
that the senior elements had gone up,

1369
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:49,680
although I know I sent something to you

1370
00:54:46,559 --> 00:54:51,839
in our visual.

1371
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,200
» Yeah. A couple um, seniors and and they

1372
00:54:51,839 --> 00:54:55,760
might not come. And then also another

1373
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,920
senior kid come in today and um talked

1374
00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:00,160
about how they do utilize the senior

1375
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:04,000
center and how great it is and how happy

1376
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:06,400
they are and it's the best $124 he spent

1377
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,760
on his tax bill.

1378
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,319
Well, thank you. Any questions for

1379
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:13,599
Professor Bington?

1380
00:55:10,319 --> 00:55:16,079
Um so my report and I keep it quick. Um

1381
00:55:13,599 --> 00:55:18,960
I wanted to thank Ted for um all his

1382
00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:22,400
work with reading um Trusty Bowman's

1383
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:24,400
emails to him. He's not here. um in this

1384
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:27,520
box that we're going to have to work out

1385
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:30,079
that. Um I want to thank Kristen for

1386
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:33,040
working on this the disposal of local

1387
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:35,200
records. Um 1984 is kind of an

1388
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,720
embarrassment that they haven't done

1389
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,520
that. So thank you for all your work

1390
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:40,880
with that. Um I went on the fire

1391
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,760
department tour. I found that very

1392
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:46,640
interesting um of their building that

1393
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:48,000
they're looking to sell. And if if you

1394
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,359
community member, I I'd encourage

1395
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:52,559
everyone to still go out there and make

1396
00:55:49,359 --> 00:55:55,119
an appointment to do that. Um, on the

1397
00:55:52,559 --> 00:55:57,119
16th of September, I'm participating

1398
00:55:55,119 --> 00:55:58,799

1400
00:55:58,799 --> 00:56:04,240
voice on a panel of where your taxes go.

1401
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:07,280
And, um, so I'll be up there with the

1402
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:08,960

1403
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,440

1407
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:22,000
So, it'll be a panel of, you know, the

1408
00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:24,799
chamber thing of where your taxes go.

1409
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,880
So, working on a presentation for that.

1410
00:56:24,799 --> 00:56:28,960
Um, few words on how we save money and

1411
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,960
how we're very close on how we use our

1412
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:33,839
money and things like that. So, that's

1413
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:35,599
my report. Any questions? If that's

1414
00:56:33,839 --> 00:56:38,160
going to be available virtually, I'd

1415
00:56:35,599 --> 00:56:40,559
love to put that out on our website for

1416
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:44,640
I don't believe it is, but okay. or if

1417
00:56:40,559 --> 00:56:46,960
you have the information on that.

1418
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,760
» Um I don't have any reason to go in

1419
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,200
executive session.

1420
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:52,079
» I've got one more thing to add. I'm

1421
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:54,400
sorry. Uh we received a phone call today

1422
00:56:52,079 --> 00:56:55,839
um saying our John Deere M is going to

1423
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:59,400
be delivering next Tuesday.

1424
00:56:55,839 --> 00:56:59,400
» I thought you were going to say

1425
00:56:59,839 --> 00:57:03,839
so many things.

1426
00:57:01,119 --> 00:57:05,440
» They're sending um a delivery driver and

1427
00:57:03,839 --> 00:57:07,440
a technician. He's going to go through

1428
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:09,359
how the machine operates with with our

1429
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,839
guys. So fingers crossed. hopefully

1430
00:57:09,359 --> 00:57:10,799
shows up on

1431
00:57:09,839 --> 00:57:12,240
» This Tuesday.

1432
00:57:10,799 --> 00:57:13,680
» Yeah.

1433
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:16,160
» Well, that's that's a good way to

1434
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:18,960
answer.

1435
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,880
