[4:58] 2022 has 74. Ordinance number
[5:02] twenty twenty-two, US

[5:10] appropriations by appropriating
[5:13] unappropriated funds in the
[5:14] American Rescue Plan Act of
[5:15] twenty twenty-one fund is very
[5:18] emerge. Thank you. Ready
[5:21] discussion.
[5:26] Actually, well, actually,
[5:27] normally, this would have come
[5:29] through finance and I would
[5:31] have lateraled the ball to
[5:33] mister Satterfield. So, that's
[5:35] what I'm going to do. So, we
[5:37] received $526, 9 hundred and
[5:41] six dollars and 90 cents in
[5:42] market funds this year. Not
[5:44] only was appropriated in the
[5:45] last couple of council
[5:46] meetings, you have already
[5:48] passed ordinances to spend the
[5:50] money. So, I thought we might
[5:52] want to focus. Very good. It is
[5:56] it's appropriate of two
[5:56] different things. The $80, 000
[5:58] helps take care of the the the
[6:01] dam project engineering, the
[6:03] dam project that with the money
[6:04] is already appropriated with
[6:06] that gets us to the 200000 that
[6:08] you need for that and the four
[6:11] forty-six we put into capital
[6:14] lines, that doesn't mean it has
[6:16] to stay in capital Alliance but
[6:17] figuring that that's kind of
[6:20] funny. There's still something
[6:22] to do but the good news is it's
[6:24] appropriate. but we needed to
[6:28] do that
[6:33] Is he here? Um but there's no
[6:36] discussion. I'd like to make a
[6:37] motion to pass on this number
[6:39] 2022 nationality board. We
[6:41] can't do that yet. Yeah. This
[6:43] is we have to make a motion.
[6:44] Oh, it's fine. That's what I
[6:45] meant to do. Make a motion to
[6:47] suspend to suspend the rules on
[6:48] ordinance 2022 dash Sunday. I
[6:51] should spend money. Irving.

[7:20] Um in the further discussion on
[7:22] this words.
[7:25] Miss Zieger. Yes. Miss Durbin.
[7:27] Yes. Doctor Fowler. Yes. Miss
[7:29] Frank? Yes. Mister Richard.
[7:31] Yes. Miss. Yes. Mister Watkins.
[7:33] Yes. Motion carried. Alright,
[7:38] moving on to other business Um
[7:41] there's met on a business day
[7:46] from one of them foods LLC. So,
[7:50] DBA saved a lot. Um does
[7:51] anybody have any questions or or comments on that?
[8:00] Does anybody know what, I know
[8:01] they have fear out there, but
[8:03] is this beer, wine, or is this
[8:05] so they can have wine? Yeah,
[8:07] wine. Wine in my burgers.
[8:12] it won't be high-grade alcohol
[8:15] but I mean, it would just be,
[8:16] yeah.
[8:21] This person now asks the
[8:22] question I always ask on these.
[8:24] Uh the I don't know if the
[8:27] police chief or who is acting a
[8:29] police chief at the moment. Did
[8:31] he have any concerns or
[8:33] objections? I don't know if
[8:36] he's heard anything. Anything?
[8:38] I didn't think it would be but
[8:41] it's not always has. To be
[8:42] honest about life, I did not
[8:44] make inquiries. Oh, okay. Okay.
[8:46] Well, I don't want to. We gotta
[8:49] speak out here. I understand.
[8:51] Historically, there's no
[8:52] problems out there. I can think
[8:53] back in time. There used to be
[8:54] a bar out there. So. Yeah. But
[8:59] if anybody would be
[9:00] objectionable, I didn't do
[9:01] Jonah's witnesses. Okay. Okay.
[9:06] That's right. I was just
[9:07] going to say that the other the
[9:10] say the laws I'm I'm thinking
[9:12] they might just want to get in
[9:13] line when I know that the one
[9:15] in Ashwin is a very small area.
[9:19] And like they said very limited
[9:22] amount of beer and wine. So
[9:26] they've expanded their view
[9:27] right here a couple of times.
[9:29] Pardon me?
[9:32] I used to be a real small area
[9:34] and then I fell into So they
[9:38] had an existing permit for
[9:39] years and years. Oh yeah. Okay.
[9:42] So I mean it's not. Right. It's
[9:45] not a new Yeah. I think they
[9:50] kind of took that step up when
[9:52] Buellers was having problems.
[9:53] You know, they were they were
[9:54] trying to get us around.
[9:59] Alright. So, there's no
[10:01] discussion on that. Um move on
[10:04] to two other other business.
[10:09] Let's see here. Um I guess I
[10:10] have more comment to make. I've
[10:12] had a few people ask me about
[10:16] spraying for mosquitoes again.
[10:17] Do we know that it's going to
[10:19] happen again? Um this year or
[10:22] not. That's where it lives me.
[10:26] We did spray a couple weeks
[10:28] ago. That's what I'm saying. I
[10:30] think it's been a couple weeks
[10:32] ago now but unless the health
[10:33] department indicates they have
[10:35] traps and they they check the
[10:37] tracks regularly. There's some
[10:38] indication that we need to
[10:39] spray again as we get later
[10:41] into the season. It's cooler in
[10:42] the evenings. There's far less
[10:45] activity Um yeah. At this point
[10:48] I wouldn't anticipate it. Um
[10:50] unless the health department
[10:52] gives us direction otherwise.
[10:54] Okay.
[10:57] the strikes. Yes, I have. I was
[10:58] approached by two people in the
[11:00] last 7 days. The first meeting
[11:02] I had was over the telephone.
[11:04] The person wants to be bringing
[11:06] anonymous but he wanted to tell
[11:08] me to thank council. He thought
[11:10] that we were going to do a good
[11:11] job. He said he talked to a lot
[11:14] of his friends. He says, I know
[11:15] you can't move as fast as you
[11:16] can. Sometimes, he said, thank
[11:18] you. I thought it was pretty
[11:19] good. I'm just happy to hear
[11:23] that. And then the second one
[11:23] was I was approached by a man.
[11:27] 20 minutes of pure hell. Not so
[11:32] satisfying with council that he
[11:34] wants satisfied with anything.
[11:35] Not even the son family. I
[11:37] don't believe. That's I didn't
[11:39] know what to say to him. He
[11:40] said, I call my gift. The price
[11:43] are going up. Everything hiked
[11:45] up. I said, why don't you go
[11:46] up? They complain. He says, I
[11:48] won't do that. Every time I do,
[11:49] I get in trouble. They said,
[11:51] who wouldn't bother? It was so
[11:52] negative. All the time, you
[11:53] made it something done but I
[11:55] don't know you all my life.
[11:56] You've never changed me. It's
[11:58] the way he's been. So, I'm
[12:00] happy here that some people are
[12:02] pretty happy but we're doing
[12:04] so. They thought we had a
[12:06] pretty good council on me. So,
[12:10] anger. Hm. Well, thank you for
[12:12] that. Does anyone have any
[12:15] anything else? Um I was hoping
[12:17] maybe maybe miss Ward could
[12:19] walk kind of walk through a
[12:21] little bit. We've had I think a
[12:23] couple calls on on yards need
[12:27] mode. Um you know, this this is
[12:29] towards the end of the summer
[12:30] and and and and so I was I was
[12:32] just hoping maybe you can walk
[12:34] through the process of of
[12:39] lowing if if mowing is not
[12:41] taking care of like it should
[12:43] be. What what what the kind of
[12:44] the process is in that? There a
[12:46] yard that someone thinks is out
[12:49] of compliance. Call the
[12:51] building inspector orders a
[12:52] form online or on our webpage
[12:54] that you can submit. Um
[12:59] Take a look at the yard, sign
[12:59] up a letter. They said he has
[13:02] to send a certified mail after
[13:03] we received the green card
[13:05] back. They have 10 days. We
[13:07] have to give them 10 days once
[13:08] the 10 days pass. We can get
[13:10] our contractor that we bid out
[13:12] every year and a lot of them
[13:13] know it at the end of the
[13:15] season. Um forms are sent over
[13:18] to the auditor's office and the
[13:21] cost of the release is is put
[13:22] on their tax card. So, they are
[13:24] assessed the the cost. However,
[13:27] you have a house that hasn't
[13:28] been lived in 15 years and the
[13:32] reality is it just goes on
[13:34] there. Year after year after
[13:35] year. At this point in the
[13:37] season, most of them should be
[13:39] on Eric's radar and a
[13:41] contractor does mow them
[13:43] regularly once they've been
[13:43] identified as a problem spot. I
[13:47] think he goes every 2 weeks.
[13:51] So, most of them, I think we've
[13:53] probably sent a discipline
[13:56] leader. 8040 grass litters, 40
[14:01] addresses, but if there's one
[14:03] that's not been identified,
[14:06] certainly all the building
[14:09] inspector will align and report
[14:09] it. Okay, thank you. Thank you
[14:15] Does anyone have anything else?
[14:16] Um I know we have some upcoming
[14:18] meetings that we would share
[14:20] with everyone so I don't know.
[14:22] You might want to go first with
[14:23] there.
[14:27] Meeting s tomorrow night at
[14:29] here.
[14:34] I have a question for mister
[14:36] Paul Murphy. Oh, that's me. how
[14:41] is the the outside law firm?
[14:44] Have you have you talked to
[14:46] them or do you know what
[14:47] they're doing or? The Onset Law
[14:49] Firm in regards to the
[14:51] interface with the Ohio EPA. Mm
[14:53] hmm. Yes. In fact, we I was
[14:57] toying with the idea of sharing
[14:58] with you the fact today that we
[14:59] got our second bill. Um it's
[15:02] very modest. The amount that
[15:05] we've been charged. Um they are
[15:06] continuing to do what they need
[15:08] to do but I think in the last
[15:10] month, we had a bill for $300
[15:13] Um it's the majority of the
[15:16] work that they were doing has
[15:18] been done, I believe. Alright.
[15:21] Thank you. Sure.
[15:26] Doctor Phillip Finance on the
[15:29] 2-first. Wednesday, 7 PM.

[16:10] fourth. On the fourth next
[16:11] month.
[16:16] Very good. Um Mister Sheffield.
[16:20] Does anybody have anything else
[16:22] before we move on to mister
[16:22] Saffield?
[16:25] Alright? Thank you. Your
[16:29] bi-weekly reports expressed
[16:31] report were 69 percent of the
[16:33] anticipated expenses for the
[16:35] year. were 68% revenues per
[16:40] year. Um ages one and two in
[16:43] the state
[16:46] Again, it's really issues
[16:53] They brought up the airport
[16:54] grant, the two oh 5 line is the
[16:56] main one but we're anticipating
[16:58] grants coming into that line.
[17:01] So, that will keep itself out.
[17:02] Transpers have not been made in
[17:03] the streets department. Do some
[17:05] fire pensions. Um the health
[17:09] department is being worked on
[17:09] by Eunice and Olivia to get
[17:12] that STD fund two forty-one
[17:14] straight down. It's that's just
[17:16] a transfer issue. I will tell
[17:20] you that the 409 Fund of the
[17:23] Fort Fury will have legislation
[17:24] in front of the plans
[17:25] committee. Um on the
[17:29] twenty-first, one thing that
[17:30] hasn't been done with Savage,
[17:32] he transferred from the general
[17:33] fund to the upstairs by
[17:36] district
[17:50] It is not Jesus' name.
[17:56] Thank you. Mister Palmer,
[18:00] nothing in addition to a life
[18:02] sharing Thank you. And I don't
[18:06] have anything else to add as
[18:08] well.

[18:15] don't have anything else to add
[18:16] as a cigarette or end up. Um I
[18:19] was just going to say there's
[18:19] nothing else I'd like to go
[18:22] through. Shannon, do you
