1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,320
from Chicago?

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,880
>> Yeah, it's No, it's it's just like the

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,870
>> I hate the I hate my family hates the

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,480
from Chicago, they're White Sox fans.

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,560
>> Are they?

6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,680
>> But my grandpa was a North Sider.

7
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,880
>> Drink one, it's like, "These aren't very

8
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,560
strong."

9
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,520
>> I don't know why the White Sox were the

10
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:17,800
team.

11
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,360
>> On the way to sustain about like me.

12
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,080
>> I was on my way to

13
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:20,480
>> Yeah.

14
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,880
>> I expected nothing. You know, and I was

15
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:23,560
thirsty.

16
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,600
>> And it tastes really good.

17
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:26,800
>> the Brewers used to be in the American

18
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,280
League division.

19
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,360
>> Yeah.

20
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,520
>> But when the Brewers went to the

21
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,880
National League, our family was like,

22
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,360
"Well, now we can cheer for them because

23
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:33,680
>> That's cool.

24
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,720
>> they can leave the Cubs, leave the

25
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,910
Cubs."

26
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,840
» I was like, man, this stuff is

27
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,800
>> Oh my god, I got to get the

28
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,400
>> I don't think this is going to be a long

29
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,790
>> Hope it's not recording, by the way.

30
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,270
I hope it so.

31
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,320
» Just going to put it here, Christine.

32
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,760
Here then.

33
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:52,480
>> All right.

34
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:53,320
>> Ready to go?

35
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,600
>> All right, Rachel, kick it off.

36
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,320
>> Okay. The

37
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,040
Board of Trustees meeting for August

38
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,920

is

40
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,360
called to order. The roll is noted.

41
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,000
And the first order of business would be

42
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,920
to take a motion to appoint a pro tem

43
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,800
chair

44
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,480
president, actually, pro tem president.

45
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,480
>> I move that we

46
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,240
I'll nominate Sean Hillman.

47
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,470
>> I'll second it.

48
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,040
» Motion and a second.

49
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,430
>> All those in favor?

50
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,350
» Open my

51
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,480
» Are you okay with it, Sean?

52
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,560
>> Uh I'm not.

53
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,240
>> Johnson, you did fine on this. Your

54
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,920
turn.

55
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,960
>> Yeah.

56
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:54,070
I apologize. I'm still opening my bid.

57
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,240
Sean, I can take it if you don't want.

58
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,720
I'd rather, but

59
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,280
if you don't

60
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,040
>> I'd rather you do it. Is that what you

61
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,400
said Sean?

62
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,640
Okay. All right, I'll I'll move to a

63
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,920
point Trustee Schindler.

64
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,920
>> I'll second that.

65
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:10,960
>> Who's in favor?

66
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,400
>> I.

67
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,880
>> All right. Do we have to get rid of the

68
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,640
previous motion or can we just go with

69
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:15,600
it?

70
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,990
>> No.

71
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,240
» Thank you.

72
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,120
>> I still don't have my agenda up even.

73
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,870
>> We have no name cards.

74
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:36,310
I guess we're not here.

75
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,840
» What happened to the lounge chair

76
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:56,310
Christina? Do you have it?

77
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,320
» Okay, I'll call the Board of Trustees

78
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,200
meeting for August 25, 2026 to order.

79
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Um

80
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,239
First thing we have done the roll. I

81
00:03:05,239 --> 00:03:07,040
have to do an announcement of closed

82
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,280
session.

83
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,440

body with respect to litigations

90
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,120
in which it is or is likely to become

91
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,760
involved. More specifically to discuss

92
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,080
Sue Line versus Village Velm Grove.

93
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,040
That said, let's all rise for the pledge

94
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,070
of allegiance.

95
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,400
» I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

96
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,920
United States of America and to the

97
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,120
republic for which it stands, one nation

98

under God, indivisible, with liberty and

99
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:57,350
justice for all.

100
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,480
» Okay, we next have an open public

101
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960
comment period on any subject without

102
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,200
action except possible referral to a

103
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,320
government body or staff member. Is

104
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,640
there anyone who would like to step

105
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,310
forward?

106
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,920
Is there anyone on Zoom?

107
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,030
>> There is not.

108
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,040
» Yeah, we'll close that open comment

109
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,160
section.

110
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,520
The next item is approval of the agenda.

111
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,240
>> I move we approve the agenda as

112
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,000
submitted.

113
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,160

114
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,040
>> I have a motion and a second. All in

00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,000
favor say I.

116
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,840
>> I.

117
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:33,760
Motion is approved.

118
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,360
Next is the minutes.

119
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,909
Oops.

120
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:56,710
Still getting them out here.

121
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Thank you.

122
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,720
All right, draft minutes from July 28th.

123
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:08,630
Does anyone have any corrections?

124
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,280
This is unusual.

125
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:13,040
Okay, hearing none, I'll take a motion

126
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,360
to approve the minutes for July 28th.

127
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,919
>> I'll motion to approve.

128
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:18,120
>> I'll second.

129
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,800
>> Motion and a second. All in favor say I.

130
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,400
>> I.

131
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,520
Minutes are approved.

132
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,240
Report of the village president. Uh

133
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,400
President Kalensky is

134
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,280
in Africa, so uh he doesn't have Wi-Fi

135
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,360
where he is. Said he's about this time

136
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,120
will be hugging a giraffe, so

137
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,480
we will uh

138
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,480
skip to the next section.

139
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,320
Actually, we'll

140
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Correct.

141
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,950
>> Yes, let's take some action.

142
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,600
» Review and act on the appointment of Sam

143
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,040
DeMatteo to the building board. You have

144
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,430
the application in your packet.

145
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,280
Is Mr. DeMatteo here tonight?

146
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:09,910
>> He is not.

147
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,360
» Jim, our trustee Olson.

148
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,440
>> Um his

149
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,240
application came through.

150
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,400
He had just actually done a project that

151
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,640
was brought through before the building

152
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,200
board, too. He and I had a nice

153
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,400
conversation. It seems like he would fit

154
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,919
in well with our

155
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:33,000
group.

156
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,040
So, I would recommend it.

157
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,880
>> Are you making a motion to approve?

158
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,280
>> I would make a motion to approve.

159
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:39,320
>> I'll second.

160
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,160
I second it.

161
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,320
>> I have a motion and a second.

162
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,630
Any further discussion?

163
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,360
All in favor, say I.

164
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,000
>> I.

165
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,030
>> Opposed?

166
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,520
Uh Mr. Sam DeMatteo is appointed to the

167
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,430
building board.

168
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,360
We now have

169
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,600
review and act on the proclamation in

170
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,120
honor of Welke's Milwaukee Florist on

171
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,320
its 125th anniversary.

172
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Bear with me while I pull up that

173
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:20,270
proclamation.

174
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:33,030
I have it handy.

175
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Okay, we have before us a proclamation

176
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,800
honoring Welke's Milwaukee Florist on

177
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,600
its 125th

178
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,760
anniversary. Whereas, Welke's Florist

179
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,720
was founded in 1901 and has proudly

180
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,040
served Milwaukee area families for 125

181
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,440
years, making it one of Wisconsin's

182
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,320
oldest continuously operating

183
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,760
family-owned floral businesses.

184
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,960
And whereas, for five generations, the

185
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,800
Welke family and their dedicated

186
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,720
employees have helped generations of

187
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,280
families celebrate milestones,

188
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,280
express sympathy, and honor life's most

189
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,000
meaningful occasions with care and

190
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,360
compassion.

191
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,720
And whereas, for 125 years, Welke's

192
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Florist has served families through two

193
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,320
World Wars, the Great Depression, and

194
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,480
generations of change.

195
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,480
And whereas, the longevity of Welke's

196
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Florist reflects the resilience of

197
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,040
locally owned businesses and their

198
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,840
enduring contribution to the communities

199
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,200
of Elm Grove and Milwaukee.

200
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,120
And whereas, the 125th anniversary of

201
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,560
Welke's Florist provides an opportunity

202
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:43,479
to celebrate a remarkable legacy of

203
00:08:43,479 --> 00:08:46,040
service and community spanning more than

204
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,240
a century.

205
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,120
Now, therefore, I, John Schindler,

206
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,320
President Pro Tem of the Village of Elm

207
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,080
Grove, do hereby proclaim September

208
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,560
18th, 2026

209
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:00,480
as Welke's Florist Day, and encourage

210
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,800
all residents to join in recognizing

211
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,150
this extraordinary milestone.

212
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,310
Thank you to Welke's Florist.

213
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,800
Next item of business, report of village

214
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,480
officers. We have the report of the

215
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,760
village fire chief.

216
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,400
>> Can we have a motion to accept the

217
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,520
proclamation, please?

218
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,040
>> Oh.

219
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,920
>> I'll make a motion to accept the Welke's

220
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:27,920
proclamation.

221
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000
>> I'll second.

222
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,760
>> Have a motion and a second. Any further

223
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,590
discussion?

224
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,920
All in favor, say I.

225
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:36,440
>> I.

226
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,760
Opposed.

227
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,440
The proclamation is accepted. Pardon me,

228
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,840
it's been a while since I've been up

229
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,070
here in the middle chair.

230
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,880
Okay, next we have the report of the

231
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,000
fire chief, Brian Naylor.

232
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,720
We have his report in your packet.

233
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,440
Chief, did you have anything you would

234
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,600
like to add?

235
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,040
Okay.

236
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,240
Thank you.

237
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,160
Does any member of the board have any

238
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,550
questions for the chief?

239
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:07,120
Thank you, chief.

240
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,480
Hearing none, we'll move on to the

241
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,600
report of police chief, Jason Hennen.

242
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,360
That report is in your packet.

243
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,030
Are there any questions?

244
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,560
To be referred to the chief through

245
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:24,590
staff.

246
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,640
Hearing none, I'll move on to the report

247
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,520
of EMS Services Director, Ben Roy.

248
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,280
That report is also in your packet.

249
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,280
Are there any questions?

250
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,550
For the EMS chief?

251
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:43,800
Hearing none,

252
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,280
we'll move on to item D, report of the

253
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,640
village clerk, Crystal Turner.

254
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,040
>> Um Crystal put in some stats from the

255
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,720
election. 41% turnout. Um and then we

256
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,040
just wanted to thank all of our poll

257
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,000
workers who helped on election day and

258
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,600
with um special voting deputy at the

259
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,000
nursing home.

260
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,150
Um it turned out really well.

261
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,760
And then meeting dates.

262
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,800
Um

263
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,320
we have to

264
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,360
move the December meeting.

265
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,520
>> Mhm.

266
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,920
>> So she picked um

267
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,560
It seems like December 16th was the

268
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:24,720
consensus, from my understanding.

269
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,839
>> I think we did discuss this last month,

270
00:11:26,839 --> 00:11:36,430
did we not?

271
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:44,230
» on my calendar.

272
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,840
Do we need to take official action to

273
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,760
move the date?

274
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,360
>> Let's officially set it to December

275
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,560
16th, please.

276
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:51,520
>> Okay.

277
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,240
All right, I will take a motion to move

278
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,840
the Board of Trustees and and the

279
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,160
Finance Committee meeting to

280
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,040
December 16th.

281
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:01,840
>> I second the motion.

282
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,720
>> I will second that motion.

283
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,280
>> Motion is second. All in favor say I.

284
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,920
>> I.

285
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,990
>> Opposed?

286
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,440
Board of Trustee meeting is now

287
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,990
officially December 16th.

288
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,800
Item E, Village Manager report.

289
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,960
>> Good evening, Board of Trustees. The

290
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,600
first item under my report this evening

291
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,840
is to review and act on the cooperative

292
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,200
intergovernmental agreement for training

293
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,000
facilities and services relating to

294
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,360
fire, rescue, and emergency medical

295
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,880
services uh specifically within the city

296
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,040
of Wauwatosa and the use of their tri-

297
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,920
fire tower training facility. Um this is

298
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,640
an agreement that has evolved over time.

299
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,600
Um initially there was an

300
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,200
intergovernmental agreement between the

301
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,839
city of Wauwatosa and just a small

302
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:51,680
handful of municipalities for use of

303
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:53,839
their facili- facilities, but for

304
00:12:53,839 --> 00:12:55,839
various reasons that uh interest in

305
00:12:55,839 --> 00:12:58,560
joint use has grown over time.

306
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:00,880
Um as indicated within your memo, our

307
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,280
training tower uh for the Elm Grove Fire

308
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,120
Department located within the DPW yard

309
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,120
has kind of aged out for lack of a

310
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,080
better term. We did have an engineering

311
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,880
assessment of our tower conducted last

312
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,360
year, and the findings were that it is

313
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,880
indeed deteriorating and in need of

314
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,800
significant repair, uh which will be

315
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,400
costly. So, that has minimized our

316
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,640
ability to utilize the tower, especially

317
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,440
with live uh

318
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,920
active fire training. And uh really it's just reduced now to smoke training

319
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,360
and some other

320
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,360
smaller type of exercises. So what we're

321
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,200
requesting is that the board this

322
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,960
evening formally

323
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,720
take action to ratify this agreement

324
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,640
with the city of Wauwatosa so that our

325
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,280
firefighters and EMS and perhaps even PD

326
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,760
personnel can utilize the the Tosa

327
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,120
facility which is relatively close

328
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,440
actually. It's just on the other side of

329
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,520
124th Street. For this year it's

330
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,160
prorated and next year the cost will

331
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,520
actually go up to a total of $2,186

332
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,280
which is relatively minor in the grand

333
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,200
scheme of things. The cost for

334
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,280
engagement will come out of the

335
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,360
operations line item budget and with

336
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,040
that I'll answer any additional

337
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,400
questions you might have.

338
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,960
>> What happens to the tower we we

339
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,760
currently have?

340
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,200
>> That is the golden question. It is built

341
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,000
out of spancrete.

342
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,880
So even just demolishing it is a

343
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,520
relatively expensive endeavor.

344
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,320
We could do it internally with some of

345
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,720
the implements we have already down at

346
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,720
the yard a highway tooth and pick it

347
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,080
apart but then the question is what do

348
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,160
we do with all that concrete? We could

349
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,800
also modify it

350
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,000
for

351
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,400
very specific types of training but fire

352
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,360
chief Naylor I wish he was still in the

353
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,160
room. He'd be able to to address this

354
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,600
better than I but it's still being

355
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,080
explored as far as what we're going to

356
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,110
do with it.

357
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,760
» If we take that down I mean it's kind of

358
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,480
back in the DPS area right now.

359
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,600
>> Right.

360
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,480
>> Does that free up more land for us then

361
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,880
for other utilizations and

362
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,560
>> It would. Yeah I mean it certainly takes

363
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:10,400
up a portion of the yard. It's on the easternmost side of the yard

364
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,360
closest to the railroad tracks so in all

365
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,240
reality it probably be additional

366
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,839
storage space for you know yard waste

367
00:15:16,839 --> 00:15:18,760
drop off or other types of recycling

368
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,120
activities. So there would would a

369
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,160
benefit.

370
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,960
>> I mean we can discuss this more with the

371
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,080
sewer line, but I'm just wondering if

372
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,760
there's any impact with with that with

373
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,560
the railroad and stuff.

374
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,400
>> There is not.

375
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,000
>> Okay.

376
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,360
Thank you.

377
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,120
>> Yep.

378
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,960
>> Could that be riprap?

379
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,640
>> Make it turn it into riprap.

380
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:36,760
>> Um

381
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,560
did we have a copy of this agreement in

382
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,240
our packet? I didn't see it.

383
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,880
>> Yes. Uh there should be.

384
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,920
>> Do you have

385
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:45,920
>> I have it printed out.

386
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,920
>> It's not on the uh

387
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,360
agenda.

388
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,320
>> I didn't have it in mine.

389
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,600
>> Is it Is it on the uh

390
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,800
You can pull it up if you have anything.

391
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,160
>> I have it right down the left.

392
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,160
>> Wasn't that a link to it on the

393
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,400
>> It's not on a link, but I thought it was

394
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,910
>> Oh, did it not make

395
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,600
Well, I apologize if it didn't make the

396
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,680
packet. It should be in there.

397
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:07,920
Um

398
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,120
>> I read it about

399
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,680
>> Well, in that case, if you haven't had

400
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,920
the opportunity to review it,

401
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,160
you know, I would advise that we hold

402
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,960
off until you do so that you're

403
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,640
comfortable. Otherwise, if you're

404
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,920
comfortable with the staff's assessment,

405
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,120
um

406
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,000
it's somewhat boilerplate because there

407
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,240
are so many municipalities involved on

408
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,080
the signatory section that you

409
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:28,520
Is it

410
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,440
>> It was. Yeah, cuz I read it. It's page

411
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,600
41.

412
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,829
>> Thank you.

413
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:37,160
Well, continuing that thought, the

414
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,760
challenge being that even if we wanted

415
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,760
to significantly amend this, it would be

416
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,360
quite an undertaking because of all the

417
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,839
other municipalities that would have to

418
00:16:44,839 --> 00:16:47,320
interject as well and perhaps accept it

419
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,360
unless it was a specific

420
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,440
writer for Home Grove, if you will, but

421
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,320
um otherwise, we're prepared to move

422
00:16:53,320 --> 00:17:00,310
forward with it.

423
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,110
» Okay, so at this point, it's uh

424
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:06,079
up to the board to decide if we want to

425
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:07,640
go ahead with the amendment.

426
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,280
>> Correct.

427
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,360
>> Okay.

428
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:11,240
>> I think it makes sense to go ahead and

429
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,480
with the

430
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,870
amendment based on staff recommendation.

431
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,560
» Definitely, we need to keep our training

432
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,280
up and uh

433
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,120
the fire chief is in favor of this.

434
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:28,069
>> Correct. Yes.

435
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:29,520
» I'll take a motion to

436
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,040
>> I'll take a mo- I'll take a motion.

437
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,560
>> to authorize staff to act on the

438
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,240
cooperative intergovernmental agreement

439
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,480
for training facilities and services

>> I'll second.

444
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,960
>> Yes, rather than act to execute.

445
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,830
>> I'll make an amendment.

446
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,920
» I have a motion amended and the second

447
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,440
so amended. All in favor, any further

448
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,880
discussion?

449
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,280
Hearing none, all in favor say I.

450
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,720
Opposed?

451
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,430
Motion is approved.

452
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,760
» Thank you very much. The next item under

453
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,600
my report this evening is an update on

454
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,480
We Energies and their overhead to

455
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,200
underground resiliency efforts, as well

456
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,400
as an update on year-to-date power

457
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,520
outages. So, kind of two separate items

458
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,400
here.

459
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,360
I did reach out to Jennifer Bogner of We

460
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:28,280
Energies, who's the municipal

461
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,720
representative. She'll be compiling the

462
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,720
data for year-to-date power outages that

463
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,000
we'll have available for review in

464
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,680
September.

465
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,840
And then we'll also have somebody here

466
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,760
to give us an update on all of this

467
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,160
overhead to underground effort, where

468
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,840
the projects currently stand and how

469
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,840
much left how much scope is left in that

470
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,280
effort as well. So, this is kind of

471
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,400
intended to to tee it up, if you will.

472
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,640
If you have anything additional that you

473
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,920
would like me to request they bring

474
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,000
forward,

475
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,240
I'm happy to hear it at this time and

476
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,510
relay it to them.

477
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,600
» Are we Are we referencing just the

478
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,920
project that is

479
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,200
has been completed or are we talking

480
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,360
about future?

481
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,160
>> The all the all of the scope within Elm

482
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,480
Grove. So, I believe there were three

483
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,480
different phases.

484
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,000
>> Yep. Yep.

485
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,080
I I'm just I'm getting probably all of

486
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,080
us are getting a lot of feedback from

487
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,240
residents in the northwest quarter.

488
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:21,720
>> Mhm.

489
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,560
>> Um the resiliency has been awful.

490
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,640
I mean, it's it's

491
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,520
sorry, but it's third world country

492
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,880
awful. It's ridiculous.

493
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,680
That we they've they've lost power over

494
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,600
there.

495
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,600
Um you know, for those of us who are

496
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,120
members of Western

497
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,280
we've gotten texts on a regular basis

498
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,240
that they've lost power. And then when I

499
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,960
get that text, I know that I'm going to

500
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,840
get contacted by friends or going to run

501
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,600
into friends over the next couple days

502
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,680
say

503
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,800
what the heck are we doing about

504
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,160
with We Energies? And you know, I just

505
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,640
have to explain

506
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,760
you know, we don't control them.

507
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,840
But we will engage. And I did I reached

508
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,000
out to Jim

509
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,480
excuse me, President Klusken and I said,

510
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,480
we got we have to re-engage.

511
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,480
Because the the

512
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,280
you know,

513
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,080
whatever it was 36 hours out within a

514
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,400
6-week period. And that's not that's

515
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,600
like three or four different outages.

516
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,640
It's absolutely bonkers. Every time we

517
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,840
get rain or heavy wind, they lose power

518
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:16,960
over there.

519
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,440
And and this constant nonsense of well,

520
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,800
it's trees. There's nothing we can do

521
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,040
about it. We can do something about it.

522
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,360
They can do something about it. They can

523
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,240
be proactive and they can look at those

524
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,280
trees. There have to be problem areas.

525
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,720
This does not make sense. Nowhere else in the metropolitan area, I

526
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,640
can't imagine loses power at a rate that area of the village does. It just

527
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,040
makes no sense.

528
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,200
>> They they actually lost power on the 4th

529
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,280
of July weekend and it was for so long

530
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,840
that they actually had to bring in

531
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,320
refrigeration trucks. I mean, which is

532
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,640
absolutely ridiculous. So, I mean, you

533
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,400
have a lot of community the community

534
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,680
that are are members there, but also,

535
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,720
you know,

536
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,560
that's a that's a very viable business

537
00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,560
and

538
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,800
you know, granted it is a private club,

539
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,400
but still

540
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,280
you know, for facility that large to

541
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,440
experience those problems and then for

542
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,640
that length of time where they

543
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,560
they're they just can't get anyone to

544
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,440
help them over that weekend. I mean,

545
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,120
that was absolutely crazy. They had to

546
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:17,800
shut everything down. They had to cancel

547
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,080
their, you know,

548
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:19,480
>> I'm sorry.

549
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,280
>> of the events.

550
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,120
>> I'm sorry. I just I reference it because

551
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:24,200
it's the easy way for me to track when I

552
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,840
know the power's out because we tell

553
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,160
they, you know, we get an alert that

554
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,760
says pool's closed,

555
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,360
you know, no dinner, whatever. We get

556
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:33,000
some kind of alert. And then usually at

557
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,480
some point we get an alert that things

558
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,680
are back up.

559
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,560
Um but like I said, I don't think

560
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,680
there's any question that it is

561
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,760
problematic. And I really wish that they

562
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,640
would take this seriously and take a

563
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,240
look at it cuz it makes no sense.

564
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:44,800
>> Mhm.

565
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,320
>> Tom.

566
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:45,800
>> Yes.

567
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,640
>> Does it make sense for us to once we get

568
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,680
this uh end of summer report, maybe have

569
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,160
them come back to like a committee of

570
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,200
the whole meeting in front of us so we

571
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,160
can

572
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,080
>> Yes.

573
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,880
>> review and talk about you like see the

574
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,200
report first so we have our

575
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,120
questions ready to go and then maybe

576
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:09,040
have Was it Jennifer?

577
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,320
>> Correct. Yeah, Jennifer Bogner.

578
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,600
Right. So, if it sounds like perhaps we

579
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,440
split this into the two separate items.

580
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,440
Maybe for September we have Pete

581
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,080
Kowalski if he's able to come to give us

582
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,160
an update on the overhead to

583
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,720
underground, but then as far as the

584
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,440
outages go, allow you to review, digest

585
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,000
the data, and then request they come to

586
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,000
a committee of the whole which is

587
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,440
scheduled for the end of September

588
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,160
already

589
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,960
and have a broader conversation there.

590
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,280
I just

591
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,360
I realize that they can't just change

592
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:38,760
all of their schedule to bury those

593
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,440
lines. I I that seems unlikely. But in

594
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,360
the short term,

595
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:42,760
>> Mhm.

596
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,400
>> we'd like to be able to tell our our

597
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,200
community, "Hey, we've engaged and we

598
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,520
have hopefully something that will

599
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,680
help."

600
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,000
Um

601
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,080
try and get them to

602
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,520
take an extra look at those trees and

603
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,880
branches in the area because every time

604
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
that's what they're pointing to. Whether

605
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,680
that's true or not, I can't say. I have

606
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,160
to trust that that's the case, but

607
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,640
there has to be a way for them to look

608
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,280
and go, "These are problem areas." And

609
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,000
do a serious cutting until we get to

610
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,600
that project, which is a ways out. I

611
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,640
forget, it's like still 2 years out, if

612
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,880
I recall. It's Right.

613
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,440
It's You know, I just

614
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,880
I feel I feel terrible having

615
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,920
electricity, particularly in a in a

616
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,920
community where we have wells. So, when

617
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,480
you everyone knows, when you lose

618
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,680
electricity, you lose water.

619
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,800
So, you're literally turning off the

620
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,200
water for people in the community when

621
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,200
we lose electricity.

622
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,560
>> Well, and it's never for like a 2-hour

623
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,840
period. It's like 8 hours.

624
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,440
>> Or can be for a 2-hour. That's the I

625
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,040
mean, I agree with you. There There have

626
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,920
been plenty of instances where they are

627
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,480
long, but there are also short ones,

628
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,510
too.

629
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,280
» They were here. This topic came up with

630
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,920
the regards to the power lines and

631
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,000
trees.

632
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,280
And I remember they were commenting that

633
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,680
they

634
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,160
private property, and they can't, you

635
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,640
know, go around everybody's property and

636
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,880
shovel all of this.

637
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,360
So, instead of just having that same

638
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:04,600
argument with them, is there any way we

639
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,760
can start dialogue now and see what

640
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,760
prevents you from going out and

641
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,080
you know, reviewing the lines in the

642
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,520
northwest area along Highland and seeing

643
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,760
where potential areas are. And get that

644
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,960
most Get that ball moving. Otherwise,

645
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,880
they're going to come here, and this

646
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,280
will be this back and forth with nothing

647
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,120
really happening from it.

648
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:21,880
>> Right.

649
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,280
>> So, if you could have discussions with

650
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,800
them, like this area's reporting a lot

651
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,560
of tree outages. What would it take to

652
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,160
get your you know, your crews

653
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:30,680
>> Mhm.

654
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,920
>> to walk that property and to see where

655
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,200
there's potential areas.

656
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,000
>> I'm sure they have a right to go in with

657
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,880
an easement. They have power line

658
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,160
easements. They should be able to walk

659
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,440
>> I don't argue with one way or that. They

660
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,080
should. It sounds right. But, they were

661
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,560
arguing that they couldn't, and they

662
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,120
were There was this dialogue back and

663
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:46,360
forth when they were here.

664
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:47,080
>> Right. Right.

665
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,360
>> could get that going now,

666
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:48,680
>> Mhm.

667
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,760
>> say, "Can you send a crew out, walk

668
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,600
those easements, and see where there's

669
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,040
potential areas?" If once, you know,

670
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,320
though they're 2 years out for the

671
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,840
underground work, and identify bring it

672
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,520
to the village's attention cuz it you

673
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,720
know they said they couldn't get the

674
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,240
people to do it themselves. They

675
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,480
couldn't tell the person, you know, the

676
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,280
property owners to do it.

677
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,080
But bring it to the village's attention,

678
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,400
and then at least we can decide how to

679
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,920
tell the people or ask people to you

680
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,920
know, recommend that they make

681
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,840
tree removals and limb removals to

682
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,800
improve, reduce the risk of power

683
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,960
outages. Otherwise, we'll have the same

684
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,960
we'll have a repeat of the last meeting.

685
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,960
>> Right.

686
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,200
Yeah, I I can definitely reach out to

687
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,920
Jennifer provide her kind of a summary

688
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,000
of all these concerns um as well as a

689
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,120
copy of the meeting minutes as well.

690
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:33,320
Um and hopefully they can take some

691
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,400
proactive measures so they are prepared

692
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,920
when they eventually do come before the

693
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,430
board.

694
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,920
» Yeah, on that. And this is different,

695
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,600
but T-Mobile is putting in all kinds of

696
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:43,800
>> Mhm.

697
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,840
>> lights too and stuff. I have a lot of

698
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,720
people in my neighborhood that are very

699
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,280
upset that the work they were not

700
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,640
>> We're we're going to get to We're going

701
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,160
to get to T-Mobile. I have a lot to say

702
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,400
about that uh towards the end here.

703
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,240
Yeah.

704
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,870
As recently as today.

705
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,950
Can you

706
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,000
All right. If there's nothing else on

707
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,720
that item, I'll move on. Uh the next

708
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,800
item under my report is an update on the

709
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,360
park and recreation manager position uh

710
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:13,960
opening. So,

711
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,560
the intent being that we did post this

712
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,760
position mid-August, uh hopefully trying

713
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,800
to catch some attention of rec-minded

714
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,760
individuals that are concluding their

715
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,640
summer season, perhaps looking to take a

716
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,320
next step, uh or move on from their

717
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,560
existing position, advance their

718
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,800
careers. To date, we have received three

719
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,320
applications. Uh the position will be

720
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,800
remain open until filled, meaning we're

721
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,200
reviewing applications as they're

722
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,240
received. And um in the near future,

723
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,240
we'll begin begin scheduling um

724
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,600
interviews for those. So, happy to say

725
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,800
we do have some traction. We will be

726
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,600
doing a blast tomorrow on different

727
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,040
social networks, so we're really trying

728
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,040
to drum up drum up the interest as well

729
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,240
as spread the word. Um trying to make

730
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,560
some uh

731
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,920
direct points of contacts with

732
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,040
individuals that we already know of that

733
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,800
may be interested also. So, stay tuned.

734
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,910
Keep your fingers crossed.

735
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,040
Moving on if there's no questions.

736
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,760
The Elm Grove Fire and EMS

737
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,760
Organizational Assessment Status Update.

738
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,400
So, this item is on the agenda this

739
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,800
evening to continue to apprise the board

740
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,880
on our ongoing efforts here uh to focus

741
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,360
on the Elm Grove Fire and EMS

742
00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:21,920
departments to hopefully gain some

743
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,560
efficiencies and uh ultimately to

744
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,480
determine the path forward for both

745
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,120
departments. We are We already know

746
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:30,520
this. We've discussed in the past that

747
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,560
we're unique. We separate operate two

748
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,400
separate departments.

749
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,000
And uh what we'll be looking for in the

750
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,280
very near future is authorization from

751
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,640
the board to engage a consultant to help

752
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,200
us identify our blind spots and answer

753
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,960
the hard questions that even as a a very

754
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,640
talented internal working group, we may

755
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,440
not be able to answer ourselves.

756
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,080
So, to date uh we've had conversations

757
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,160
with two separate consulting firms that

758
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,280
focus on this exact task and goal is to

759
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,520
identify uh how to gain efficiencies in

760
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:02,920
the organizational model, the

761
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,520
operations, the financials, assess

762
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,360
facilities assessments, the list goes

763
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:08,320
on.

764
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,920
Um

765
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,080
Thursday, we Whoop. Did this cut out?

766
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Excuse me. Thursday, we have another

767
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,080
meeting scheduled uh with a third

768
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,040
consulting firm. Um all of these fir

769
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,360
Well, two of these firms have had

770
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:22,440
success um implementing organizational

771
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,520
health assessments, if you will, um in

772
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,280
the Milwaukee metro area and providing

773
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,600
recommendations for steps forward. So,

774
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,280
uh Trustee Schindler has been a

775
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,840
participant in these internal

776
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,680
conversations as well as Fire Chief

777
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,640
Nailer, EMS Director Ben Roy, and

778
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,360
myself, as well as uh former Fire Chief

779
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,880
David Kastenholz. So, we have a strong

780
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,320
internal working group. We've been

781
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,440
trying to keep the frequency of

782
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,400
communication uh at a very high level uh

783
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,920
so this doesn't

784
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,080
become stale on the vine.

785
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,360
So again this is an update for you to

786
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,400
realize that hopefully in the very near

787
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,760
future we'll be coming forward with a

788
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,200
proposal for engagement.

789
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,360
>> And we've been meeting weekly

790
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,160
to keep things moving forward.

791
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,400
>> Indeed.

792
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,800
>> This has to come to a head fairly soon

793
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,040
so we can come to a resolution and get

794
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,080
some ideas of exactly how the

795
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,520
department's going to look in the next

796
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,520
couple years.

797
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,040
>> Indeed. So I have just a couple of very

798
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,240
brief updates and that will conclude my

799
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,800
report. One of the items here being

800
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,000
Metronet. This is the T-Mobile fiber

801
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,840
internet that is expanding throughout

802
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,400
the village. Prior to them beginning

803
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,680
construction we had a a pre-con meeting

804
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,000
with their entire team of eight

805
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,320
individuals. The village was provided

806
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,800
assurances about the level of

807
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,640
communication Metronet and T-Mobile

808
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,440
would be sending out to residents in

809
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,800
advance of the work taking place within

810
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,720
the right-of-way. That worked very well

811
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,680
for the first two and a half months of

812
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,720
their installation and as recent as a

813
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,400
week ago we began fielding concerns and

814
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,920
complaints for lack of a better term

815
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,840
from residents about the lack of

816
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,440
communication, no notice,

817
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,720
workers were out on site poking holes in

818
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,360
the right-of-way which precipitated

819
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,680
staff having to follow up, explain what

820
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,760
a right-of-way is, what their rights are

821
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,800
to work within the right-of-way.

822
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,480
There were some valid complaints as well

823
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,600
as T-Mobile members accessing private

824
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,600
property without prior authorization.

825
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,880
That's all to say that today we had a

826
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,720
conference call myself and Richard Paul

827
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,640
Jr. DPW director with their system

828
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,560
manager and their project manager. We

829
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:30,680
issued a

830
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,960
stop work order for T-Mobile until

831
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,440
September 9th. What we found out was

832
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,000
that the correspondence that was

833
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,080
supposed to go out 30 days prior to them

834
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,560
starting work in their specific phase

835
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,720
area they're working right now was not

836
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,120
sent out because there was an error at

837
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,120
the printer and they intended to send

838
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,840
those notices out in September.

839
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,920
Meanwhile, they're already working.

840
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,200
Um so, they are afforded a week. The

841
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,520
printer expedited those letters. They

842
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,040
should be in the mail tomorrow. So,

843
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,520
we're allowing them at least a week to

844
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,160
get the letters to the residents, try to

845
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,160
mitigate some of this. We'll be putting

846
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,960
a a notice out on the village website as

847
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,160
well

848
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,000
with a map that identifies these areas

849
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,480
that were not notified. So, we think we

850
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,880
have it under control at this point. We

851
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:13,440
uh

852
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,520
I think they got the point in the

853
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,800
conversation today and hopefully this

854
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,240
doesn't take place again, but um that is

855
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,800
your update on T-Mobile.

856
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,160
>> So, I will tell you what they told the

857
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,080
neighbors in my area because I have

858
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,840
neighbors that are very, very upset

859
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,120
about this.

860
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,720
They told

861
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,520
the neighbors in my area that the reason

862
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,120
notifications didn't go out is that Elm

863
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,240
Grove as well as Menomonee Falls are the

864
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,600
only two communities suburban

865
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,840
communities in the greater Milwaukee

866
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,720
metropolitan area that refused to send

867
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,480
out notices like that to the residents.

868
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,600
So, I will tell you that the neighbors

869
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,120
in my neighborhood think it is the

870
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,520
village's fault and they're asking me

871
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,320
why in the heck and what do we do to

872
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,120
change that. So,

873
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,160
it's interesting.

874
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,840
>> I said well, thank you for sharing that

875
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,560
and that was that was the crux of the

876
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,440
conversation is just the the

877
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,840
disappointment that there were

878
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,720
assurances provided and now it looks as

879
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,440
though we're mismanaging this. So, we

880
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,600
will take steps uh to communicate to

881
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,760
residents exactly what's going on and

882
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,240
>> Cuz the residents really think it's the

883
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,280
village that dropped the ball, not Elm

884
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:19,880
Grove.

885
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:20,480
>> Correct.

886
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,240
>> So, our area was done a couple two

887
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,560
months ago, month and a month and a half

888
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,800
ago. We never received anything. I mean,

889
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,520
until they started marking the streets,

890
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,120
that's what drew me attention to it and

891
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,360
I had a couple neighbors that are like,

892
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,840
"What is going on?" I said, "I don't

893
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,880
even know myself what's going on." Until

894
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,600
we started to see the come so.

895
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,560
>> I didn't know either when they started

896
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,760
asking me. I had no idea

897
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,120
>> Okay. Well, that's I need to hear that

898
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,360
feedback. So, thank you for sharing it.

899
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,120
Um, yeah, and again, we'll address and

900
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,400
take the

901
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,280
necessary steps to correct it.

902
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,240
>> Great. Thank you.

903
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,680
>> Yeah, you bet.

904
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,000
>> AT&T also has fiber

905
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,200
lines in the village as well, but

906
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,080
I guess they've not spread them out to

907
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,520
the down the streets. Like, what is it

908
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,800
we didn't have that same issue with

909
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,640
AT&T? Why?

910
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,160
>> That's a good question and I'm not as

911
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,640
familiar with

912
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,760
>> I I think they were on the poles.

913
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:13,520
>> Are they on the poles?

914
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,160
>> Yeah, I'm cuz when they strung fiber to

915
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,600
my house, it was from the pole.

916
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,840
>> Yeah, okay.

917
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:18,360
>> Do you have it

918
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,240
>> not underground?

919
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,040
>> You have AT&T fiber?

920
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,400
>> I do.

921
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:21,880
>> Okay.

922
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,960
>> And a nice job as far as cleaning up.

923
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:24,840
>> Mhm. Right.

924
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,160
>> You know, I mean, you can't even tell

925
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,800
where they were. I mean, that was

926
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,600
impressive, but

927
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,320
it when they were doing it, they hit a

928
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,000
gas line in my neighborhood. That was a

929
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,680
big deal and

930
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:38,360
>> That would be

931
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,480
>> it's been kind of fiasco.

932
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,440
>> Right.

933
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,080
Last very quick item here. You will be

934
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,240
receiving an email from Fogel regarding

935
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,160
former library director Sarah Mensch and

936
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,880
a tree dedication for her, which will be

937
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,840
taking place on September 3rd at 4:30

938
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,920
p.m. out in the park here. So, keep your

939
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,400
eyes open. Should be a nice dedication

940
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,400
ceremony and with that, that completes

941
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,030
my report this evening.

942
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,600
» Okay. Thank you, Manager Harrigan.

943
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,960
Uh, next is item number F, report of

944
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,120
Village Attorney Ramsey.

945
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,000
>> Um

946
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,560
nothing beyond um, the training

947
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,360
education for the zoning board on

948
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,750
Thursday, September 3rd.

949
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,080
Or is that a Wednesday?

950
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:25,520
It is a Thursday.

951
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:26,600
>> Planning Commission is moving that.

952
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,240
>> Board of Appeals.

953
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:29,280
>> Okay.

954
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,639
>> That is the training for who? Could we

955
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:32,560
just make this

956
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,639
>> Board of Appeals.

957
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:37,629
>> Clear for the record, okay.

958
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:39,520
our next item is report of

959
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,320
standing committees. First up is Plan

960
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,399
Commission. Is there someone

961
00:34:44,399 --> 00:34:45,720
Jennifer, we'll take that.

962
00:34:45,720 --> 00:34:46,720
>> Okay, um

963
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:48,679
since President Kowalski isn't here and

964
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:51,240
he has to wait for the Plan Commission,

965
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:53,360
I'm the other trustee on that

966
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,720
commission, so I will do a quick review.

967
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,680
We approved a plan of operation and

968
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,720
conditional use for the Centered Self

969
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:05,120
LLC. This is the sixth of seven tenants

970
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,440
on the wellness grow grow building. We

971
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,040
cannot take action on this because we're

972
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,920
still waiting for

973
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,200
the notice. It has to be noticed for so

974
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,520
many days, so we'll be able to do that

975
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,120
next month.

976
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,880
We also approved a conditional use

977
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,880
permit to exceed the maximum lot

978
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,000
coverage area at 1105

979
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,880
Red Barn. Um this week request was at

980
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,320
the limit at 32.9

981
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,360
with a maximum of 33% coverage. We had

982
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,920
these before.

983
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,200
Um we noted this for the record since it

984
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,000
was close so close to being at the

985
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,960
maximum. Again, because of notice, no

986
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,240
action will be taken on this tonight.

987
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:48,080
Committee reviewed and approved a

988
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,200
request to keep chickens by Samuel

989
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,360
DeMatteo at 15005

990
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,880
Wisconsin Avenue. Um prior to our

991
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,080
approval, there was quite a lengthy

992
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,640
discussion.

993
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,920
Um and everyone really kind of weighed

994
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,520
in. There was one neighbor who was

995
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,080
objecting.

996
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,760
Um but um

997
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,000
Commissioner Cranberry had walked the

998
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,160
property and said that there was quite a

999
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,920
bit of education in the backyard really

1000
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,040
shielding the neighb- the neighbor that

1001
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,800
was concerned. And also Mr. DeMatteo

1002
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,920
actually moved that coop a little bit

1003
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,720
closer to his house, too. So, um I was

1004
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:32,760
unanimous. Everyone felt very

1005
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,960
comfortable approving that.

1006
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,880
It from there went to building board and

1007
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,680
it was approved there, as well.

1008
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,800
Um lastly, there was a um discussion on

1009
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,920
the public visioning workshop. And this

1010
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,480
was discussed at length. Um it was felt

1011
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,120
that the workshop missed the mark,

1012
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,640
specifically as it was too oriented to

1013
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,560
development of larger buildings, that were three and four

1014
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,200
stories, four stories and higher.

1015
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,040
Um Vanderwalt Vanderwalt said they took

1016
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,000
the feedback seriously and were

1017
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,520
there to discuss a path forward. I will

1018
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,400
tell you that in general,

1019
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,560
um everyone on the commission was

1020
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,840
pretty upset with the way that um

1021
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,560
visioning workshop was was handled. All

1022
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,360
committee members weighed in on their

1023
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,240
expectations and concerns, which I feel

1024
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:26,840
are well summarized in the committee

1025
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,400
notes, if you want to take a look at

1026
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,320
those specifically.

1027
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,360
The commission confirmed that going

1028
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,480
forward, the commission would have an

1029
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,640
opportunity review survey questions

1030
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,760
before they went out to the community.

1031
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,600
President Kaleski set an expectate

1032
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,200
expectation

1033
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,840
and he wants 50% of residents to engage

1034
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,800
in the survey before moving forward with

1035
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,040
any plans to make sure

1036
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,120
all residents are adequately

1037
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,680
representated represented and not just

1038
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,080
special interest groups. Um

1039
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,880
Yeah, there was

1040
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,480
We do have people within the community

1041
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,560
that are business owners and they're

1042
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,360
also residents and they were weighing in

1043
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,720
multiple times. So, he really wanted to

1044
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:15,720
make sure that we adequately

1045
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,400
really listen to all of our residents.

1046
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,040
Discussion followed on how to best

1047
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,000
engage residents in this survey process.

1048
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,120
Um the discussion closed with President

1049
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,080
Kwasneski stating that the comprehensive

1050
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,000
plan update should be a um

1051
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,480
regular standing item for the Plan

1052
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,880
Commission each month, including what

1053
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,400
was accomplished in the last 30 days and

1054
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,840
what is planned in the next 30 days.

1055
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,320
There also was discussion on not rushing

1056
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,400
this process and making sure that we

1057
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,720
adequately got input from the community.

1058
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:53,680
Um the next committee commission meet um

1059
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,200
meeting falls on Labor Day, so um the

1060
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,920
group discussed moving the date to

1061
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,960
September 10th as an alternate date, and

1062
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,720
that seemed to work for everyone, so

1063
00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:07,000
that is the date of the next

1064
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,400
um Plan Commission meeting. And that

1065
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,910
concludes my report.

1066
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,870
Any questions?

1067
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,680
» Thank you, Trustee Steckerd. I I just

1068
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,880
have a question. Did Vanderwal have any

1069
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,120
reasons why they kind of led that

1070
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,240
meeting down a wrong path or went off

1071
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,040
track?

1072
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,440
>> They really didn't have anything,

1073
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,000
honestly, that was very acceptable. They

1074
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,760
um they they stood up there and made a

1075
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,960
lot of

1076
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,320
excuses, but I don't think they really

1077
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,520
listened in what was really alarming to

1078
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,760
both the Plan Commission and I think to

1079
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,680
trustees is we had given very specific

1080
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,120
directions, and it was felt that they

1081
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,840
have a way of doing things, and they're

1082
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,040
just following the same blueprint and

1083
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,960
treating El Grove just like any other

1084
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,560
community. And it was stated that

1085
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,280
what they shared at the meeting was what

1086
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,240
they shared with us when they first came

1087
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:10,760
here to present what you know, when we

1088
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,680
were deciding who to go with, and

1089
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,680
nothing had differed at all, so they

1090
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,800
hadn't listened to any of the village

1091
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,440
input at all. And I think what I didn't

1092
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:21,880
state in this

1093
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,080
um

1094
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,360
report was that um prior to meeting with

1095
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,280
the plan commission um

1096
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,320
Ann and

1097
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,280
um Tom and Jim and I got them on the

1098
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,720
phone to kind of set expectations for

1099
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,200
them and we were supposed to have a

1100
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,000
meeting and they knew that we were very

1101
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,560
disappointed and very upset

1102
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,200
and Jim and I both arrived here

1103
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,920
expecting to for the four of us to meet

1104
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,200
with them in person and we had one of

1105
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,440
them on Zoom and that was it. Which

1106
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,960
again just seemed like their commitment

1107
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,000
wasn't really there and um

1108
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,440
it was very disappointing. So

1109
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:03,960
>> Yeah.

1110
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,680
>> They've been kind of put on notice.

1111
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:06,880
>> I would say it's disappointing cuz I

1112
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,000
think when you the vote was taken and

1113
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,800
you know who to go with, I think it felt

1114
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,760
as though they were the ones to go with

1115
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,720
because they knew us.

1116
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:17,760
They could tailor things better to who

1117
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,480
we were um

1118
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,040
and it didn't feel that way at all. It

1119
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,800
felt like we were any other city in

1120
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,440
Wisconsin that could have been anybody.

1121
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,120
>> And that's exactly what was shared with

1122
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,040
them and um there was nothing innovative

1123
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,120
at all that was presented and they

1124
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,400
certainly didn't listen to the

1125
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:38,840
community. Um I think coming out of that

1126
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,640
I almost felt like I wanted to start all

1127
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,480
over again and and work with somebody

1128
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,760
else. It was it was so disappointing.

1129
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,360
>> And it's and you guys had a lot of good

1130
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,360
points that you brought out and I I was

1131
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,240
disappointing. I

1132
00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:52,880
sorry that that's the way it ended up,

1133
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,480
but hopefully they could turn it around.

1134
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,880
>> Yeah. So we'll see.

1135
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:56,160
>> Yeah.

1136
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,320
>> Um and I think that's why it's has to be

1137
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,080
an update every month. What have they

1138
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,280
done in the last 30 days and and what

1139
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,240
are they doing going forward and

1140
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:08,400
they obviously know that we're very

1141
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,240
upset, but even knowing that to to not

1142
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,080
show up in person, so we'll see what

1143
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,760
happens from here on out.

1144
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,320
Um but certainly not up to expectations.

1145
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,200
>> Okay, more to come.

1146
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,990
Next up, library board, Kristy Castille.

1147
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,320
» Okay, we did meet last cuz we We did

1148
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,960
meet last week.

1149
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,480
And this is Meetings are completely

1150
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,600
online.

1151
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,240
Uh Fogo membership is long as a little

1152
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:39,960
bit higher than they were last year.

1153
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,200
best numbers they've had, about 157

1154
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,960
members. If anybody on the board here is

1155
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,680
not a Fogo member, I highly recommend

1156
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,240
joining Fogo as a member of the you

1157
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:51,680
know, the Friends of the Grove Library.

1158
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,560
Um the library is currently on boarding

1159
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,800
four new employees, one library

1160
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,120
assistant and then three library pages.

1161
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,760
These are temporary

1162
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,880
part-time jobs to replace the people

1163
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,280
that went back to college and moved on.

1164
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,040
So, that's keeping Sue pretty busy right

1165
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,000
now.

1166
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:08,880
Um

1167
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,640
As regards to the library board's act-

1168
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,400
activities, we're looking at trying to

1169
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,600
find ways to improve the layout, the

1170
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,720
design of the library.

1171
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:19,600
Um

1172
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,440
Basically, to improve the efficiency of

1173
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,480
the operations within the library, as

1174
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,560
well as improving the patrons' enjoyment

1175
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,240
of the facilities themselves, making it

1176
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:30,560
more functional and more flexible to

1177
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,200
have different needs, different table

1178
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,400
sizes, just to make the the current

1179
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,440
existing footprint

1180
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,000
more efficient and a better better

1181
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,520
experience for people.

1182
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,320
Uh so, Fogo is getting involved as well

1183
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,160
with Sue to help go through the

1184
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,880
different um options and review

1185
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,720
different

1186
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:49,280
furniture supply companies and things

1187
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,640
like that and see what are the options

1188
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,840
are. And the board itself, the library

1189
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,280
board's meeting extra meetings a month

1190
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,520
to actually try to go through that

1191
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,320
process and just move it along and not

1192
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,640
make it just a typical every month we do

1193
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:01,960
it the same thing, but actually get

1194
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,400
something done. And try to get Fogo to

1195
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,720
ask for some revenue that's available

1196
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:08,560
and actually start changing things in

1197
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,120
the library so that people come in, they

1198
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,760
can see the change. They can see the

1199
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,720
improvements and realize that the

1200
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:14,840
library is going to, you know,

1201
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,160
investments and activities of Fogle is

1202
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,240
coming in

1203
00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:20,640
making changes at the library, making

1204
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,600
improvements and making everybody's

1205
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,480
enjoyment of the library better. Um we

1206
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,440
also have a resolution. This resolution

1207
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,120
comes up every year.

1208
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,920
Um it's a res It's basically the library

1209
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,440
funds for 2027.

1210
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,640
To paraphrase real quickly, if you don't

1211
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,800
if the communities don't spend enough of

1212
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,000
their own

1213
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,840
money on libraries, the

1214
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,160
state or local Waukesha, the state will

1215
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,400
actually

1216
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,520
bill the community for library services.

1217
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,720
So this is a resolution to appropriate

1218
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:53,680
funds for 2027 that exempts us from

1219
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,120
having to pay the tax. Reference to the

1220
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,400
Waukesha is it the state?

1221
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,040
>> It's the county, Waukesha County. Yep.

1222
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,240
>> So I need

1223
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:05,470
resolution 20260825A.

1224
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,240
Um is in the

1225
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:09,480
information here.

1226
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:14,520
And we need to make a motion to approve this, I believe, right?

1227
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,640
>> Yes, the uh

1228
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,750
resolution is in your packet.

1229
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:26,230
Everybody had a chance to look at it.

1230
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:28,280
I don't know if we all had a chance to

1231
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,640
read the resolution.

1232
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:36,430
>> I I move we approve resolution 20260825A

1233
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,160
for the request for exemption from the

1234
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,840
Waukesha County library levy 2000

1235
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:46,320
2026 tax for 2027 purposes.

1236
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:47,960
>> I'll second the motion.

1237
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,760
>> I have a motion and a second. Any

1238
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,800
further discussion?

1239
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,120
Hearing none, all in favor say I.

1240
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:54,960
>> I.

1241
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,920
Opposed?

1242
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,680
Resolution carries.

1243
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,040
>> And that's it for the library.

1244
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,640
>> Thank you, Trustee Castille.

1245
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,960
Okay, next up is public works.

1246
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,680
and utility committee met

1247
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,760
on August 10. The first order of

1248
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,000
business was to discuss the changes to

1249
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,560
the daylighting project design that CPKC

1250
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,320
is requesting.

1251
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,640
The railroad is requesting riprap be

1252
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,920
placed at three meander sections instead

1253
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,360
of the stepped quarry stone.

1254
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,200
The railroad is also requesting that the

1255
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,040
village pay for a clogged 24-in culvert

1256
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:31,800
that the railroad owns beneath its

1257
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,640
right-of-way.

1258
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,400
The village wants an agreed cost share

1259
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,760
in advance and intends to seek an offset

1260
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,760
through a reduction in the property

1261
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,360
acquisition price.

1262
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,320
The committee further discussed a 6-ft

1263
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:45,960
fence between the pathway and the

1264
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,200
railroad tracks and the requested

1265
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,680
easement by the railroad for access to

1266
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,000
the tracks

1267
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,640
from Wall Street.

1268
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,400
At the time of the meeting, Stantec was

1269
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,920
preparing the village response.

1270
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,720
The good news is that litigation is

1271
00:46:59,720 --> 00:47:01,240
formally paused through the end of

1272
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:02,560
September

1273
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,320
as settlement discussions continue.

1274
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:07,920
We were then updated on the progress of

1275
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,120
a Highland Drive pathway.

1276
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,240
Both layers of the base gravel have been

1277
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:14,760
installed. Concrete curbs and ramps have

1278
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,320
been poured.

1279
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,160
Paving is expected to begin this week or

1280
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,160
early next week.

1281
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,600
They're still behind schedule, but

1282
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,560
they've been catching up due to the good

1283
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,990
weather.

1284
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,040
Of course.

1285
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:30,360
Yeah.

1286
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,200
>> Um

1287
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:32,600
you know, the both layers of the gravel

1288
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,280
are are there and it's set and I I it's

1289
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,200
pretty compact and hard, but there are a

1290
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,200
lot of people walking on that already.

1291
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,440
Does Does that in any way affect it or

1292
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,080
can it harm it in any way?

1293
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,120
>> That should actually help it. It's Yeah,

1294
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,760
they've been rolling it with uh

1295
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:48,480
>> Great.

1296
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:49,040
>> rollers.

1297
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:50,600
>> I mean, there are

1298
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,520
a lot of people walking on

1299
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:53,680
Great.

1300
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:54,520
It'll be well used.

1301
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,510
>> Good to see.

1302
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:03,240
Okay, we then received some favorable news on the Village Pond.

1303
00:48:03,240 --> 00:48:05,720
Um Tom, are you able to bring that up?

1304
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:07,640
Okay.

1305
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,520
Before you zoom in, I'll kind of set

1306
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,440
this up.

1307
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,320
Okay, last year's initial research

1308
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,960
indicated possible 6 ft of sediment

1309
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:21,190
covering the bottom.

1310
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,760
We now we went out last year due to the

1311
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,600
fact that we've got

1312
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:34,470
Hold on before you go too far into that.

1313
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,160
Researching this to set the table is the

1314
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,120
pond has been getting covered with algae

1315
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,280
for the last several summers. We've been

1316
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,040
putting algaecide on it. But the amount

1317
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,880
of vegetation material in the pond has

1318
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,840
become overwhelming.

1319
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,760
So, we wanted to find out what the what

1320
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,680
the issue was, what's causing it, and

1321
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,760
how to interrupt that cycle.

1322
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,440
I went out last year with some

1323
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,400
researchers from School of Freshwater

1324
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,600
Sciences and

1325
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,640
Southeast Watershed Trust.

1326
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,680
Our initial indications were that there

1327
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,680
was 6 ft of sediment because we were

1328
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,520
hitting bottom and sucking up sediment

1329
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,280
at 9 ft instead of 15, which it should

1330
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,520
be.

1331
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,760
We went out again this year and we got

1332
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,360
some better news. It appears now that

1333
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,480
our working theory is that after the

1334
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,680
flood were floating algal mats floating

1335
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,600
6 ft off the bottom that were covered

1336
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,160
with sediment due to the floodwater that

1337
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,120
had come in that spilled over from the

1338
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,440
creek.

1339
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,720
So, this year we were able to get down

1340
00:49:37,720 --> 00:49:41,760
to 14 13 14 ft

1341
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,640
indicating there's only about 2 ft of

1342
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,760
sediment at the bottom. That is very

1343
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,760
good news. That is much more

1344
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,800
easy to deal with.

1345
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,960
Um

1346
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,080
Newly installed temperature monitoring

1347
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,200
buoys, which if you zoom in, we

1348
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,440
installed these couple weeks ago. Go to

1349
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,800
the north uh basin, please.

1350
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,040
These are

1351
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,000
monitoring instruments that float

1352
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
continuously out there. They send data

1353
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,520
to a cell phone that goes to the

1354
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,160
internet every 5 minutes. Click on that.

1355
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,520
Go to dashboard.

1356
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:16,920
And this gives us temperature

1357
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,280
indications at the surface, 3 ft, 6 ft,

1358
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,880
and 10 ft. If you scroll down,

1359
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,760
it gives us a continually running

1360
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,600
record. And what we see here is very

1361
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,200
interesting. It shows that the bottom

1362
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,000
water is very cold. There's a 20°

1363
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,440
difference, so that top water is not

1364
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,440
mixing with the bottom.

1365
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,560
This is important for us to know because

1366
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,800
we can check the phosphorus content at

1367
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,840
the bottom and the top.

1368
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,480
And at the bottom, it is off the charts.

1369
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,320
It is 10 times what we would expect to

1370
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,400
see in a healthy pond.

1371
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,360
It is much less than that at the top.

1372
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:52,920
So, what happens during the summer as

1373
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,560
things are dying, they filter down to

1374
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,560
the bottom of the pond. It becomes

1375
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,240
anoxic.

1376
00:50:58,240 --> 00:50:59,920
And the phosphorus, it's a limiting

1377
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:03,040
nutrient, starts remobilizing and is

1378
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,800
brought into the water column.

1379
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,840
We analyze the sediment, and what we I

1380
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:08,920
don't want to get too far into the

1381
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,920
chemistry here, but what we found is

1382
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,240
that um

1383
00:51:13,240 --> 00:51:15,080
due to the profile, we expect that the

1384
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,720
phosphorus is recycling in the pond

1385
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:21,040
rather than new stuff being brought in.

1386
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,160
So, this indicates we will have a

1387
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,320
cost-effective road forward to remediate

1388
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,040
the pond. Very good news.

1389
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,600
And uh we also found

1390
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,840
E. coli was strongly detected in the

1391
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,400
pond.

1392
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,280
And the university is doing genetic

1393
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,360
sequencing to determine if the source is

1394
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,520
human, goose, or dog.

1395
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,840
We can find out where that's coming

1396
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,160
from. Uh interesting fact also if we do

1397
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,360
get another flood, we'll be able to tell

1398
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,000
if that water from the creek mixes with

1399
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,760
the water in the pond or just stays on

1400
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,240
the surface.

1401
00:51:57,240 --> 00:51:59,960
So, more to come, but we've got some

1402
00:51:59,960 --> 00:52:02,080
really good data and good results so

1403
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,440
far. So, it looks promising.

1404
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:05,800
Yeah.

1405
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,320
>> What would remediation look like?

1406
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,680
>> Uh probably there's a product that we

1407
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,880
would use. It's alum alum.

1408
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,440
Uh trade name is Phoslock. It chelates

1409
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,480
the phosphorus, takes it out, and

1410
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,800
sequesters it in the sediments. It's not

1411
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,360
bioavailable.

1412
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:23,920
Cuz what we're doing now is just adding

1413
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,200
algaecide. Kills the algae, but it

1414
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,920
breaks down to phosphorus, which then

1415
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,000
comes back again.

1416
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,720
>> From the citizens' view looking at the

1417
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:32,320
pond, how would they know this is

1418
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:33,240
happening?

1419
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:34,440
Would there be a

1420
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,840
>> Clean, the bigger fish will be able to

1421
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,280
grow. We have to restock every year if

1422
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:40,480
we uh

1423
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,120
stop the

1424
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,280
destruction of the dissolved oxygen,

1425
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,320
that will allow the population to

1426
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,440
regenerate itself rather than having to

1427
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,440
restock every year.

1428
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,000
And we'll get bigger fish, not just the

1429
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,270
little stunted ones.

1430
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,240
Okay, in other updates, utility work for

1431
00:52:59,240 --> 00:53:01,080
the road paving should be completed by

1432
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,240
month's end with paving started starting

1433
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:07,160
soon after. Pilgrim Road will be treated

1434
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,560
with crack sealing from Ace Hardware to

1435
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,120
Gebhardt Road to extend the life until

1436
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,640
eventual reconstruction.

1437
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,000
And lastly, the Juneau Boulevard culvert

1438
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,800
beneath the Village Hall driveway is

1439
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,000
planned to be replaced this year.

1440
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,040
Detailed minutes are in your packet. If

1441
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:26,520
there are no other questions, that

1442
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:34,470
concludes my report.

1443
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,720
Okay, next up, public safety, Trustee

1444
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:38,600
Sayas.

1445
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,960
>> Thank you. Um public safety did not meet

1446
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,040
this month, but I just wanted to bring

1447
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,240
to everyone's attention in your which I

1448
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:47,800
didn't get today, but you can see them

1449
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,200
online in the municipal League of

1450
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,640
Municipalities, there's an article about

1451
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,840
charging ahead, what municipalities can

1452
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,080
and cannot do about e-bikes.

1453
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,800
As well as food for thought tomorrow,

1454
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,320
navigating e-bikes, e-motos, municipal

1455
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,440
authority municipal authority, there's a

1456
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,280
League of Municipalities

1457
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:09,720
um

1458
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:12,440
seminar and it's at 12:00 tomorrow. Uh

1459
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,240
it's a it's an hour and I believe Chief

1460
00:54:15,240 --> 00:54:16,640
Hannon is going to be on it. Are you

1461
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:17,440
going to be on it?

1462
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,280
>> You bet, as well as Ethan, as well as

1463
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,320
uh AC Younger. Yeah, we're going to have

1464
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:23,560
the popcorn going.

1465
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,120
>> Are you? Well, maybe I'll come over here

1466
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,200
and watch it with you or be a part of it

1467
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,520
with you. But, for those of you that are

1468
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,280
interested, um

1469
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,000
I know that that's been a a hot topic

1470
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,480
and um

1471
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,440
there was an article in um President

1472
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:39,880
Kluske's

1473
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,200
um message to the residents last month

1474
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,640
or I think it was at the early August

1475
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,680
asking for feedback. We We had three

1476
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:48,880
emails.

1477
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,920
Um so,

1478
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,040
nothing crazy, um no issues like

1479
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,520
accidents or anything, just, you know,

1480
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,080
some people say they have some concerns.

1481
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,560
Um but,

1482
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,280
yeah. So, I just wanted to bring this to

1483
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,800
everyone's attention

1484
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:03,880
as it was in the

1485
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,720
>> Is that meeting going to be recorded?

1486
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:08,160
>> They typically are.

1487
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:09,200
Yes.

1488
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,440
>> And you just have to register, but it's

1489
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,280
free.

1490
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:15,590
>> Yes.

1491
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:16,920
Yeah, if you're interested in attending,

1492
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,590
let me know. I can forward you the link.

1493
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,640
» I'd like the recorded link.

1494
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,760
>> Sure. We can definitely do that.

1495
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,160
>> Okay, thank you, Trustee Says.

1496
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,000
Next up is legislative, Trustee

1497
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:30,640
Stuckert.

1498
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,990
>> We did not meet.

1499
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,360
» Okay, next up is Park and Recreation,

1500
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:37,440
Trustee Hillman.

1501
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,960
>> Thank you. We did not meet, but uh

1502
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,480
we're able to provide a detailed report

1503
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,400
from um

1504
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:46,320
I don't know if we ever gave her this

1505
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,840
title, Interim Rec Manager Anson McLean.

1506
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,400
Um very quickly um you'll note that the

1507
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,920
Rec Guide is linked in your materials.

1508
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,800
That has gone out timely. As far as I

1509
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,960
know, everything's working on that.

1510
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,640
Um as uh

1511
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,240
Mr. Harrigan mentioned um we are still

1512
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:07,840
waiting to find and or hire a Rec

1513
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,640
Manager. That process is ongoing.

1514
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,760
Um and uh one of the things that we

1515
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,360
discussed uh separately

1516
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:16,560
uh with

1517
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:17,960
um

1518
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,160
Finance Director uh Leahy

1519
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,120
um what was the status of our

1520
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,320
expenditures? And that was in our report

1521
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:25,840
that we provided to the committee

1522
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,160
members. I'll give you very quick

1523
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:29,480
overview.

1524
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,880
Um overall expenditures

1525
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,990
at this time um are $14,856.19

1526
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,080
lower

1527
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,720
than at this time in 2025. Revenues are

1528
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:44,080
higher, $6,051.57.

1529
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,960
So, uh status of our uh

1530
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,320
our Rec budget uh is stable.

1531
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,640
Um there are a number of expenditures

1532
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,720
that were higher and lower. Um one of

1533
00:56:55,720 --> 00:56:58,040
the big items again, recall that we were

1534
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,080
able to generate an extra $16,800 in

1535
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,000
unbudgeted revenue because of our

1536
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,440
agreement with

1537
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,640
Elmhurst United for um

1538
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,760
rental of the of the fields, which we

1539
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,040
were getting $0 previously. Um that

1540
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,280
offsets a number of other revenues that

1541
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,680
were lower, including tennis.

1542
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,520
Um swim,

1543
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:19,080
um

1544
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:20,480
and again, fortunately some of our

1545
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,800
expenditures were lower as well.

1546
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,000
Um

1547
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:25,160
Last item

1548
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:26,680
um our Boardwalk update, I'm not sure if

1549
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,840
we have anything new for the board at

1550
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,280
all. Probably nothing interesting to

1551
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:32,480
report at this point. Nothing

1552
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:33,200
substantial.

1553
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:33,360
>> Okay.

1554
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:33,800
>> No.

1555
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:34,640
>> Okay.

1556
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,320
>> I know I owe you a

1557
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,200
conversation about

1558
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,400
our other meeting as well. So, I'll

1559
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:41,160
follow up on that.

1560
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:42,040
>> Thank you.

1561
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,200
Other than that, I have nothing else.

1562
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:45,120
Any other questions?

1563
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,800
>> I I have two questions.

1564
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:47,400
>> Sure.

1565
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,200
>> And one of them probably

1566
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:51,280
I don't know if you can answer.

1567
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:51,680
>> Sure.

1568
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,600
>> Timeline as far as our rec manager, do

1569
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,360
we have any kind of a timeline? I know

1570
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,280
it's dependent on the applications that

1571
00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,240
you get in.

1572
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:00,200
>> Right.

1573
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:01,520
That's exactly it. Yeah, we left it

1574
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,840
open-ended indicating that applications

1575
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,440
will be reviewed as they're received.

1576
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:06,880
So, apply early.

1577
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,320
We have received three applications.

1578
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,240
It's still fresh. It's only about a week

1579
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,600
and a half since it was posted. So,

1580
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,160
probably within around the 3-week mark,

1581
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:17,920
we'll compile them all, do our first

1582
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:19,560
review, indicate it such on the village

1583
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,880
website, social channels, you know, give

1584
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:23,400
it kind of a last, "Hey, if you're if

1585
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,320
you're interested, act now. First

1586
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,240
review's coming up." So, hopefully

1587
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:28,360
within

1588
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:29,520
you know, the next month and a half, we

1589
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,480
have some pretty clear indication what

1590
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,080
the pool looks like.

1591
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,520
>> What and I I'm not pressuring you, but I

1592
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,080
just curious. What would be the soonest

1593
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,520
that we would have somebody maybe

1594
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,520
on board with the whole process? What

1595
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:43,600
would you envision?

1596
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:48,320
>> You know, it's it's interesting cuz the high season is over. So, from a from

1597
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,160
an urgency standpoint, yes, we want to

1598
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:51,680
get somebody in here, but it's not as

1599
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,640
though we're gearing up to go into the

1600
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,520
summer season and we want to make sure

1601
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,960
we we get the appropriate person in that

1602
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,040
seat. So,

1603
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,320
I don't I don't have a good answer for

1604
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:01,600
you.

1605
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,000
>> that. I guess what I'm

1606
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,720
kind of going towards or what I'm

1607
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,600
driving to is the tennis program.

1608
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:08,920
>> Yes.

1609
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,640
>> And the tennis program has fallen flat

1610
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,560
the last few years. Been really

1611
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,520
non-existent. It used to be a a really

1612
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,040
pretty decent tennis program here.

1613
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,240
And that is no longer the case.

1614
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,200
I think that

1615
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,120
looking at a tennis program, you you

1616
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:28,120
probably

1617
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,400
you got to be starting at least in

1618
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,560
January. I mean, you can't be waiting

1619
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,720
till last minute. I do know that Linda

1620
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:39,400
Leed has made some overtures as far as

1621
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,680
maybe coming in and helping us run that

1622
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,840
program and maybe opening it up to

1623
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:51,080
people outside of um girl. She's got a group that she's working with now, so

1624
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:52,840
it would be kind of um girl residents

1625
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:56,480
and then maybe kind of greater

1626
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,920
metropolitan area like and I'm not sure

1627
00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:02,480
of the the details, but

1628
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,560
I I think it would be cool of us to

1629
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,640
entertain and talk to her early because

1630
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,840
I also think that if it were structured

1631
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,160
properly and we had chance to really

1632
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,040
think through it and examine it, it it

1633
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,520
could be a way to generate some

1634
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:20,120
additional revenues for the village,

1635
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,840
too, in terms of our park and rec since

1636
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,080
we do have a lot of needs. I mean, we

1637
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,520
had that great plan and we've got a lot

1638
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:32,400
of things that we could do there, but I don't want us to miss the opportunity

1639
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:33,920
where she

1640
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:35,680
maybe sets something up with another

1641
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,160
municipality and so

1642
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:39,720
I'm just putting that out there.

1643
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:41,640
>> Yep, that's a great comment and yep, go

1644
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:42,040
ahead.

1645
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,480
>> I I will say two um

1646
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:45,920
that was one of definitely my

1647
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,680
disappointments in this last summer

1648
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,080
because uh I did not learn that we were

1649
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,520
having difficulties with the program

1650
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,600
until we had to cancel it. And so, you

1651
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,640
know, I don't want to see that happen again,

1652
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,280
so getting our arms around it in

1653
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,720
October, November, well, October

1654
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,120
probably isn't likely, but November and

1655
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:07,880
December is important. So, we have I

1656
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,720
think we have some options

1657
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,400
um that will allow us to

1658
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:13,800
um

1659
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,160
I want to say reinvigorate, but at least

1660
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:16,880
reinstate the program.

1661
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,760
Um and now that we know

1662
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,960
um that we have these options that we

1663
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,840
can go external. Um, I I definitely that

1664
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:26,640
gives us an additional option or options

1665
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,520
that we weren't considering before. But,

1666
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,320
I I do I I I think I I hope this this

1667
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:32,760
board understands that that was one of

1668
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,320
the things that was

1669
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:35,880
uh, gut punch might be a little strong,

1670
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,560
but learning that was was very

1671
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,000
disappointing that we weren't able to go

1672
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:39,560
forward.

1673
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,400
>> the year prior it had fallen on its

1674
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,200
face, too. So, this is

1675
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,720
>> We still had a program. It was small,

1676
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,000
but we had a program.

1677
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,640
>> And it but it wasn't it wasn't operating

1678
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:51,160
the way it should have. So, I mean this

1679
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,160
has been really a a weak spot for us for

1680
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,600
a while, and um, I think the same thing

1681
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,240
is true

1682
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,160
for the swimming.

1683
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:01,720
>> Mhm.

1684
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:03,640
>> And I mean there used to be a very

1685
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,920
active swim team, and the kids in the

1686
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,200
community were really engaged and stuff,

1687
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,480
and that's not the case anymore. Um, I

1688
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,040
think some of it is a facilities,

1689
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,550
you know,

1690
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,080
problem. You know, people just don't see

1691
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,280
this as being a very

1692
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:22,800
attractive

1693
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:24,440
area, like

1694
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,960
more competitive, I think, in the past.

1695
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,360
So, I think if I think we really need

1696
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,240
to, I mean,

1697
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:32,560
look at our

1698
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,200
wreck plan and and see what we can't do

1699
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:36,240
to

1700
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:38,360
revitalize that area. So, I'm I'm just

1701
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,120
throwing those comments out there. I I

1702
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:41,800
know it's a tough thing, and it's it's

1703
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,960
tough when we have turnover like this.

1704
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,600
>> Yep. Well, those comments are well

1705
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,240
received, and I especially uh,

1706
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:49,720
appreciate the one regarding tennis. I

1707
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,520
think we do need to be more proactive in

1708
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,600
advance of the wreck manager finding

1709
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,720
their way to the seat, right? And uh, we

1710
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:57,280
do have the contact information for

1711
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:57,760
Linda.

1712
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,120
>> Who and Shawn is familiar with Linda.

1713
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:00,400
So,

1714
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,280
>> So, we could we can set that meeting up.

1715
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,200
Absolutely.

1716
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,240
>> I had when I spoke with her, she said

1717
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:06,800
she would love to

1718
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,120
meet Shawn and I, and it really should

1719
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,480
be Shawn, but um, you know, sometime

1720
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:11,840
right around the first of the year. So,

1721
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,720
I think as soon as the holidays are

1722
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:15,320
past, it's something that we could

1723
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,480
really jump on, whether we have a wreck

1724
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,200
manager in place or not and

1725
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,800
John, since you know her and even if we have

1726
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:23,840
someone

1727
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,680
new, they might not be familiar with the

1728
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,280
area to taking the lead on that. So.

1729
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,480
>> Yep. Well received. Agreed. And that's

1730
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:31,840
something that we definitely can talk

1731
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,840
about in interviews as well, what the

1732
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,080
suggested plans are from candidates. Um

1733
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,200
again, knowing that this is now

1734
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:41,880
um

1735
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,440
we have to reset. Um it's it's going to

1736
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,200
be a matter of focus when we we look at

1737
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:47,560
that candidate

1738
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,360
or those candidates. Um I will say too,

1739
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,160
I think everyone recalls

1740
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,520
having three applicants right now

1741
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,520
is a lot This is already much better

1742
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,520
than what we had those years ago when we

1743
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,280
had no applicants or we had one

1744
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,400
applicant. So, even if we get no more

1745
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:03,600
applicants, we're in a better spot than

1746
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,880
we were three or four years ago. Um my

1747
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,320
hope is that we we do get more and I my

1748
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,320
suspicion is getting three this early,

1749
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:11,720
we'll we'll get more.

1750
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,400
Um so, I'm optimistic about

1751
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,640
finding a good candidate.

1752
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:17,960
>> And I guess lastly, for whatever it's

1753
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:19,440
worth, we still are on schedule to

1754
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,320
replace the pool liner, which will be

1755
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,040
taking place soon thereafter

1756
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,520
Oktoberfest. So, as far as a facilities

1757
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,840
upgrade, our existing liner is in

1758
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,640
desperate need of of replacement, so

1759
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,160
that'll be a nice

1760
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,280
aesthetic

1761
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:34,520
improvement.

1762
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,960
>> And I just think the whole

1763
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:38,720
swimming area.

1764
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,520
>> Well, that's that's that's forthcoming.

1765
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:42,360
For another day.

1766
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:43,400
>> Yes.

1767
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,680
>> One of just just to add off of that too,

1768
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:46,360
the

1769
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:47,560
I think the tennis probably has a

1770
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:49,640
greater prospect than the swimming.

1771
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:50,960
Um

1772
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,480
what we've learned is that, you know, I

1773
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,800
was not around for this time period, but

1774
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,040
that was a very active um

1775
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,760
competitive um group where there were

1776
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:02,080
other communities that there was an

1777
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,280
opportunity to swim against.

1778
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:05,880
It doesn't exist anymore.

1779
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,880
So, it just doesn't. We we tried to

1780
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,440
engage. There was there was feelers and

1781
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,600
what we learned was that they just don't

1782
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,040
exist anymore. The other community swim

1783
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,160
groups are also I'm not going to say

1784
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:18,640
they're all gone.

1785
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,280
Um but it's not what it was

1786
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:22,960
those years ago. It's just one of those

1787
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:24,080
things that have disappeared.

1788
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:25,920
>> It's it's interesting because you know I

1789
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,120
have a daughter now in Madison and the

1790
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,240
community that she's in Shorewood Hills

1791
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,160
they have huge swim team and swimming is

1792
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,000
such a big thing in the Madison area.

1793
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:36,840
They have these conferences between all

1794
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,480
these just different public pools and

1795
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:40,600
they have

1796
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:41,520
the

1797
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,240
big invitational so to speak that kind

1798
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:45,840
of the end of the year

1799
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:47,720
in the um neighborhood where my

1800
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,800
daughter's Airbnb was you couldn't get

1801
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,200
within a mile of that place. The park it

1802
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,640
was so parked up. There were so many

1803
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,040
people

1804
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:58,240
you know.

1805
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:00,040
So I mean

1806
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:01,720
Yeah, be nice to take the lead and try

1807
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:03,520
and do something with that but tennis I

1808
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,200
think it is you're right it's more

1809
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,040
viable at this point.

1810
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:08,320
Yeah.

1811
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:09,720
>> I I'll close there.

1812
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,240
>> Thank you Patrick.

1813
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:12,320
>> I just have a quick question with

1814
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,320
regards to um

1815
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,320
some activities that really cross

1816
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:17,960
a couple of different bridges here. One

1817
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:19,760
with regards to park and rec

1818
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:21,880
and that's the the new tree planting

1819
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:23,680
like grant that uh Nikki asked that's

1820
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:25,080
coming up and then it's like how many

1821
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:26,560
trees

1822
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,360
>> Uh about approximately 450 total over a

1823
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,760
three years three year phase planting.

1824
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,360
This fall we will receive I think 98

1825
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:35,120
trees.

1826
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:36,760
>> Yeah, so that's upcoming with regards to

1827
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,480
the that's the beautification

1828
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,840
>> No, it's it's for the village. The

1829
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:42,720
beautification didn't start it.

1830
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,240
>> But with the crack team with Nikki's you

1831
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:44,920
know

1832
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:46,280
main driver in getting these things

1833
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,320
lobbies and started.

1834
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,160
>> There.

1835
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:51,920
>> But either way we have this going.

1836
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:53,800
Right? With the tree planting.

1837
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,040
And we and

1838
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:56,520
I know talking to Nikki today with

1839
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,560
regards to getting support for helping

1840
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:02,830
putting those trees in.

1841
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,320
You 90 trees to plant.

1842
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,400
>> Yeah, well when I we did a a site visit

1843
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:10,520
and we decided for back there we're

1844
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:11,880
probably going to need a truck with an

1845
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,240
auger because there's a lot of

1846
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:15,320
heavy

1847
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,160
rooted material from the old trees that

1848
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,710
were cut out of there.

1849
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,720
» Yeah, I'm sorry to interject. We have

1850
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:24,720
the the preliminary planning all locked

1851
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,040
and ready to go. The DPW's auger will be

1852
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:28,600
out on site poking the holes for the

1853
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,080
trees. Nikki will coordinate the

1854
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,960
volunteers. Johnson's nursery nurseries

1855
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,040
dropping off the trees the second week

1856
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,040
of October, I believe.

1857
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,240
So, I mean we're we're ready to do this

1858
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:39,800
for sure.

1859
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,600
>> I'm not sure that Park and Rec looking

1860
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,360
at this is aware of it. Probably aware

1861
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:44,640
of it, but knowing

1862
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:45,400
>> Not really knowing.

1863
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:46,600
>> But that's okay.

1864
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,920
Just have to communicate back across.

1865
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:50,560
Because we also have the constant

1866
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:55,430
buckthorn removal that um

1867
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,040
Okay.

1868
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:58,520
But but you know, constantly working on

1869
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,120
these other areas. We have different

1870
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:01,720
groups, different um

1871
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:02,960
you know, the

1872
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:04,280
Public Works, Parks and Rec,

1873
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:05,920
Beautification, maybe all working in the

1874
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,840
park area. So, I would

1875
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,920
>> Finance is really great topic.

1876
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:11,920
>> I had asked when these trees came in and

1877
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,800
we got this grant if we could plant them

1878
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,680
someplace other than the park like on

1879
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,799
the village right of ways stuff and

1880
01:08:17,799 --> 01:08:19,000
there was going to be follow up with

1881
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,839
that. I never heard back on that.

1882
01:08:20,839 --> 01:08:22,560
>> Yeah, it's it's pretty specified to a

1883
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,080
specific location because a conservation

1884
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:26,720
easement governs the entire area. So,

1885
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:27,960
you need a legal description and the

1886
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,070
whole nine yards, but

1887
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:32,480
» Back on track here.

1888
01:08:32,480 --> 01:08:33,440
>> Promoting the fact that you have

1889
01:08:33,440 --> 01:08:35,319
different groups they should have no

1890
01:08:35,319 --> 01:08:37,080
communication across so they're at least

1891
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,680
aware of what's going on. So, if if the

1892
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:41,920
Park Rec is looking at building in the

1893
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:43,440
area where not planting trees in area

1894
01:08:43,440 --> 01:08:44,640
that they're going to want to dig up in

1895
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:45,240
two

1896
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:46,040
>> No,

1897
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,040
all the trees are going to be planted

1898
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:49,640
>> Yeah, I'm just saying have communication

1899
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,680
if there's a way to cross communicate

1900
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:52,600
better.

1901
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:53,720
Just to ensure everybody's aware of

1902
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,160
what's going on.

1903
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,680
>> This concludes my report.

1904
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,839
>> Thank you, Trustee Hillman.

1905
01:08:59,839 --> 01:09:01,720
Okay, next up administrative and

1906
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:03,520
personnel, Trustee Stuckart.

1907
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,240
>> We did not meet.

1908
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,680
>> Okay, financing and licensing.

1909
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,200
President Kolaski is not here. I will

1910
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:15,560
just give a very high-level overview.

1911
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:16,799
Um

1912
01:09:16,799 --> 01:09:18,720
all the financial

1913
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,640
tracking and reports are on track.

1914
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:23,560
Um

1915
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,000
our ambulance billing is up

1916
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,600
substantially since we increased our

1917
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,319
rates to

1918
01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:32,400
more closely align with surrounding

1919
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,440
communities.

1920
01:09:34,440 --> 01:09:36,080
Too early to tell exactly what the

1921
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:38,880
numbers are going to be as far as what

1922
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,520
we'll actually get paid as opposed to

1923
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,200
what we bill.

1924
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,960
Um we finished up the payment to

1925
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,759
CW Prepper for the final work on the

1926
01:09:48,759 --> 01:09:50,240
pathway,

1927
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:51,920
which was the section going over the

1928
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,200
railroad.

1929
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,560
That was uh supposed to be completed in

1930
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,320
24.

1931
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,600
So, we are done with that.

1932
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,400
Completely paid up, um closed out.

1933
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,520
And tid number two, we're going to be

1934
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,640
making our final payment next month and

1935
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:10,680
that will then close out our payments to

1936
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,040
that.

1937
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,880
Uh next, if you look in your packet, we

1938
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,280
have something new now. It's called the

1939
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,040
uh expenditure analysis. It's a visual

1940
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:23,960
representation

1941
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:25,200
of

1942
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,360
all our high-level expenses every month

1943
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,400
so we can see month to month how things

1944
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,520
are changing among the top

1945
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:38,390
uh expenditures for the village.

1946
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:42,360
Next, we Yeah. Next, we uh reviewed and

1947
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,440
acted on the vouchers after

1948
01:10:45,440 --> 01:10:47,760
good discussion, we voted to recommend

1949
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,600
to the board approval of the vouchers

1950
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:54,310
for

1951
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,390
Where are we here?

1952
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:02,630
for July.

1953
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,480
I'm forgetting what month it is.

1954
01:11:05,480 --> 01:11:08,160
Okay, that being said, if the vouchers

1955
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:09,720
are all in your packet, I will take a

1956
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:11,520
motion to approve the vouchers for

1957
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:12,240
August.

1958
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:13,200
>> I'll make a motion to approve the

1959
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,440
vouchers for August.

1960
01:11:16,440 --> 01:11:18,640
>> Motion and a second.

1961
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,160
All in favor, say I.

1962
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:21,880
>> I.

1963
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,560
>> Vouchers are approved. That concludes my

1964
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:26,000
report.

1965
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,080
>> I don't

1966
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:29,280
have a question.

1967
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:30,880
Sorry. Should have talked to

1968
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:32,240
>> Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have a question?

1969
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:34,720
>> No, just with the vouchers, like based

1970
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:36,240
on some of the comments up here earlier

1971
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,200
this evening, there's a big voucher on

1972
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,360
here that I wasn't sure.

1973
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,390
Which one?

1974
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,040
Starts with a V.

1975
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,360
>> The Vanderwall. Yeah, well,

1976
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,760
we paid them per the contract. Uh

1977
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:51,280
>> Yep.

1978
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,480
>> Staff can address that.

1979
01:11:54,480 --> 01:11:57,270
>> Yep.

1980
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:58,840
» Just based on some of the conversations

1981
01:11:58,840 --> 01:11:59,520
this evening.

1982
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:00,080
>> Yeah.

1983
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:01,160
I mean

1984
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:02,160
Yeah, the terms of payment for

1985
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:03,720
Vanderwall are specified in our

1986
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:05,480
engagement agreement with them and and

1987
01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:07,000
when they're able to submit for payment,

1988
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:11,910
so that's why it's coming through.

1989
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:13,720
» Who that? So Sam.

1990
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,400
>> Who that?

1991
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,840
>> That was a big one. Okay. Sorry.

1992
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:21,040
>> Okay, our next moving on, number 11,

1993
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:24,760
matters for possible closed session.

1994
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,240
We have take a motion to convene in

1995
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,480

1996
01:12:29,480 --> 01:12:31,800

be adopted by the body with respect to

2002
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,720
litigations in which it is likely to

2003
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,680
become involved. More specifically, to

2004
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,000
discuss the Sue Line

2005
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:57,870
versus Village of Elm Grove litigation.

2006
01:12:57,880 --> 01:12:59,600
Can you run the roll, please?

2007
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,920
>> I move that we move into closed session.

2008
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:03,680

2009
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,240
