So, what we want to do at our end is take it to the next level up and 133 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:11,560 see if that's sufficient coverage if it makes sense. 134 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:14,320 » I know, Ralph, you talked to Torma. >> Um you want to give an update on the 135 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:19,440 Torma side about it? >> We have an information sheet on that. 136 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,280 » They had an update in that file. >> The Torma thing. 137 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,600 » Yeah. >> We have we provided the records of 138 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,720 insurance we took over the uh 139 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,480 the town.

It's all Greek to me. 142 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:51,160 It It's What What I provided was what was mailed to me from Torma. It's the 143 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:55,880 policy itself. And from my understanding with Torma, 144 00:10:54,280 --> 00:11:00,640 and Jim, maybe you can shed some light on this, they don't insure any vehicle. 145 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,839 From my understanding, they will not insure any vehicle that we do not own. 146 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:11,120 Is that how you understand it, Jim? If they say no. 147 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:16,520 » Yeah. Yeah, it's got to be in our name.

So, because of that, we've got to make sure that 150 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:32,800 everything is the way it should be just in case there was an accident of some 151 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:37,320 sort that the the isn't liable for it.

So, you don't like your cell 180 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,840 phone. >> I don't use it. 181 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,400 » You guys can talk a lot on your cell phone. 182 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,560 » Well, again, other people's cell phones are 183 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,520 important for the sessions and stuff. But 184 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,960 you know what they say. >> Mine's not. 185 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,800 » Mine's not either. >> All right. Anyone else? 186 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,680 » Well, she's got a bottle of water. >> I probably don't. 187 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,440 » You don't have a cell phone. >> I do have a cell phone. 188 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,280 » I don't think we have cell phones. >> We've got a few cell phones. We're all 189 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,840 good. Everything's good. >> Okay. Any other questions regarding 190 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:08,640 that? We do have a motion 191 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:13,640 to accept the financial report. Do I hear a second? 192 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,640 Any further discussion? 193 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:21,480 All those in favor, say I. I. 194 00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:21,480 Any opposed? 195 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,960 » Did you guys I didn't hear anything you guys said I. 196 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,560 » Did you oppose it? >> I didn't oppose it. Did you second it? 197 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:32,880 » I. >> Okay. All right. So, we're we're past. 198 00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:32,880 The motion's approved. 199 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,720 Okay. That brings us to unfinished business. 200 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:43,560 Uh we have three items under unfinished business. 201 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:50,720 The first one is the town hall renovation project update. 202 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:55,080 Belated, do you want to get that update? You want me to do it then? 203 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,360 Okay. So, pretty encouraging, I think. Um 204 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,120 I was told all this this past week we didn't get a lot 205 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,440 of work completed there. But we got The only thing we got done was the gas 206 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,680 station. Correct me if I'm wrong, was the 207 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:13,720 plumbing was was pulled uh put into the building for the bathrooms. 208 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:17,280 So, prior to that, the septic system is completed. 209 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:21,000 Uh obviously the demo was completed. I don't know if some of you saw on the 210 00:15:18,839 --> 00:15:25,960 Facebook page. Posted some pictures on there. 211 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:30,160 Floor joists are in. We're moving along. We're always a 212 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:35,880 little nervous because of the time table that we have to work with. So, 213 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,440 communication with reconstruction to see what's going to get done for this 214 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,400 week. But so far, 215 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:46,840 last time I spoke to them, which was 10 days ago, or 12 days ago now, 216 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,160 they're very confident that they can get the project done on time. 217 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:56,920 Anyone else want to add anything to that? 218 00:15:53,680 --> 00:16:00,120 I know we're all just going by there. I was on vacation, so I didn't get there 219 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,840 this week. But we've been regularly going by there. 220 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:13,640 So, we're we're keeping up with it. And um 221 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,960 Yeah, I Oh, I got scolded the first time I went in there. 222 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,640 They said, "Sir, where's your hard hat?" I said, "Um I'm sorry. 223 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,440 I don't have one." So, now I have it in my car. 224 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,000 The second or third time I was in there, I 225 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:31,200 I wore it. But it is closed to the public because of the OSHA 226 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:34,680 reasons. So, okay, the solar update. 227 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,040 Can we do that one as well? 228 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:49,880 Okay, I just got a voicemail from Jeff Becker. 229 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,200 And I'll read you part of that voicemail that applies to 230 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:58,960 this. However, before I do that, everyone 231 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:01,480 probably has seen the Facebook page. I know the mayor has been watching over 232 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:07,280 it. But it gave an update on solar as well. 233 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,240 But here's what Jeff just voicemailed me. 234 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,640 He says, "I wanted to give you a call to let you know, I know the meeting's 235 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:23,280 tonight. Um, I'm not going to attend. 236 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:26,680 Um, Yeah, I want to let you know we've been 237 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:33,120 working in the last 2 weeks on the lawsuit against Earthrise. 238 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:38,680 And it was filed this afternoon. So, we don't know who the judge is yet. 239 00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:43,200 We don't have the case number because we have to wait for the clerk to get back 240 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:47,720 to us. But, I just 241 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:52,440 uh, wanted to inform everyone. I know I think it was listed on the website that 242 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:56,840 there would be a solar update. So, the lawsuit was filed. 243 00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:02,520 Seven counts. It's 68 pages long. 244 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:08,680 Four of the seven counts are alleging constitutional violations. 245 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:13,120 Two of them are alleging violations by Will County 246 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:19,320 of violating the law by its change to the non-contiguous 247 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:24,040 portion in its clean energy statute. It's failure to follow the 248 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:28,080 LaSalle-Austin factors. I I don't know what that is, but 249 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:32,920 we'll find out from John. So, those and then there's one count for 250 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:39,320 an injunction. Steve will probably eventually go in for 251 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,320 a temporary restraining order. 252 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:45,200 Uh, and then he goes on with some other things that aren't related, but um, what 253 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:51,840 what we'll do is we'll make sure this gets posted. We'll compile this and post 254 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:57,320 it on our Facebook informational page. Okay, any any questions regarding that? 255 00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:01,480 From the board and then uh, if there 256 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,960 is any other comments from the public, you can address that during public 257 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,520 comment. Yes. 258 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:16,720 » So, um, during the time of the special use permit, do you do I have the right 259 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,720 » You're on the second hand. minutes. 260 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,800 » So lucky you. >> Terry, could you introduce yourself to 261 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:27,440 everyone and let us >> I'm Dan Butler, County Board District 5. 262 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,680 » So, you know, at the time that the special 263 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:37,960 use permit was going to be approved, I had tried to ask for two months home. 264 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:40,880 And so, all terms of the application were not 265 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:46,640 Uh they had delineated all the wetlands. They 266 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:51,480 put down farmed wetlands. Farmed wetland is not a proper delineation. It's a It's 267 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,720 just a state of being, a wetland being farmed. That's all that 268 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:59,800 means. Uh also, the all the agreements with the 269 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:04,320 road commissioners had not been completed. 270 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:08,080 Um and you know, I I don't know if they agreed and if 271 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:12,400 Jim agreed, but something a lot of the other road commissioners had not. 272 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:16,400 There's no big agreement. Uh and I don't think that he would 273 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:19,760 especially agree regarding the safety of the neighborhood's concern. If anyone's 274 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:24,000 ever been there, the drainage and flooding. 275 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,440 There's many houses in there that just every wish flooded. It's like some 276 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:32,600 houses look like they have a moat. So anyway, um 277 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:36,640 I tried to get him to it. The state's attorney would not assist us. 278 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:41,040 Uh when I when I said that all the agreements had not 279 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:46,720 been met and therefore we should not uh vote on this, 280 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:49,480 uh he agreed that the good faith clause in the 281 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,920 um you know, that was in the laws that 282 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:57,560 were, you know, outlined for uh 283 00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:02,720 the the solar company to move forward only applied to road commissioners who 284 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:06,960 were not responding. So, if they sent letters 285 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,840 and they got receipts that they had sent letter. 286 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:14,240 And And that was good enough. But 287 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,400 the state's attorney agreed it did not cover those 288 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:22,640 road commissioners who were still working things out. 289 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:27,120 So, that was not done. And neither was the road bond. But 290 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:32,280 they they went ahead and they they ordered that the board passed 291 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:36,000 So, uh I had just gone into the land use department uh a couple of days ago. 292 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,720 Um and I had asked if that permit had been 293 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,440 um approved. And they said, "Well, they just did a 294 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:49,760 test run." I've never heard of a test run. But um 295 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:53,960 and then I said "I want to be notified before that 296 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:57,960 permit is issued cuz I want to make sure that those uh wetlands are delineated 297 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,840 and that those road agreements are done." 298 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:07,400 Because, you know, once they pass that through the special use permit, there's 299 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:10,880 nobody that you elected that is going to be responsible for making sure that they 300 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:16,080 stop. And uh I had tried it to re-invoke 301 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:19,720 and one of the members of the uh planning 302 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,040 department uh said that they had to give me a no on 303 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:27,000 that. If uh trying to find out or trying to make 304 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:31,080 sure that we were notified before the permit was issued. 305 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:35,480 And that's where it stands right now. But, they did say I told them this 306 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:39,000 agreement that they would let me know before it was issued so that I could 307 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:41,160 have time to prepare and look at that stuff. 308 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,320 » Great. >> Yeah. 309 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,880 » Thank you. 310 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:54,120 » Okay, great. Thank you, Dan. Thank Thanks for your work and representation 311 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:57,920 of Green Garden Township on this issue. Um 312 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:02,360 Anthony DeLuca called me a few weeks ago and wanted to know the status of things. 313 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:06,080 And Jim and I had a conversation. Um so, I'm going to let Jim give an 314 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,000 update on that regarding the solar. 315 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,840 » Okay. It's all new territory for us out here 316 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,800 in Green Garden with the road commissioners. 317 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:21,720 Um I do meet with them quite a bit. Um over it we meet on a monthly basis 318 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,360 and then we have a special group with Wilton Center, Manhattan, and 319 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,720 a few other townships that either are going through it or have been through 320 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,520 it. Um they write me that a road use 321 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,920 agreement that which Green Garden does not have any road use agreement with 322 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:38,640 Earth Rights for the mineral solar facility. 323 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:44,560 Um I don't think Earth Rights has a agreement with the 324 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,560 other ones either. Um 325 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,240 but as road commissioners we've kind of 326 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:53,080 attacked the problem a little bit different. Um 327 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:56,080 I've maintained a good line of communication with them. That's what I 328 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,200 told them. I said, "I don't agree with what you're doing, 329 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:04,360 but I think it's good to talk." So, we do talk to them 330 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:07,440 sometimes maybe maybe every 2 months. Um 331 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:11,360 and they are pretty easy to talk to. Uh I understand they need something from 332 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:15,440 me, so they're not going to be short, but um they did call up in the storm and 333 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,400 asked if we needed any help, which is pretty nice. 334 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,880 Um but I did send them 335 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:27,640 I hired a firm firm uh located in Central Illinois. 336 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,560 Um they've dealt with wind farms. I figured that firm would be the most 337 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,760 experienced if they went with Earth Rights. 338 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,840 Um so, right now we're in the process that 339 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,040 they have to sign a professional fee agreement, which means I'm not paying 340 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:43,760 for any attorney fees or engineering fees. I I can't do it. You know, the 341 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:48,320 the way I look at it is progress has to pay for progress. So, until they sign 342 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:52,800 that form there's not going to be really any communication as far as the um 343 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:56,320 road use agreement. Um 344 00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:00,560 but that's that's pretty much it as far as um what's going on with the road 345 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:05,960 district. And then one other thing is I believe it was last month a state 346 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:11,160 legislature did pass a law that really took away a lot of 347 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:16,120 ability to hold these people accountable or do what we need 348 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:21,280 as far as wind and solar. Prior to that we could really ask for a lot more. Now 349 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:25,800 it put something some legislation that's unreasonable. So 350 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:29,600 they do as far as they need in solar when they have this state law that they 351 00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:33,040 can say that what I'm asking for is unreasonable. 352 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,280 So this is way beyond me. So I'm going to 353 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:40,760 turn it over to figure this out, but as far as you guys know there's no road use 354 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:46,880 agreement and right now there's no professional agreement that's signed. So 355 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,880 we're not even starting on 356 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:52,120 » Thank you, Jim. Yeah, and that is a big deal because without that we can't move 357 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:56,440 forward. Do we have Have you been contacted, Jim, 358 00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:00,640 by US Solar? >> Yes. 359 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,640 » What was the conversation about? Okay. 360 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:09,320 » Um I think US Solar is the only other one 361 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:12,120 that's trying to come into Green Garden. Um 362 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,200 but they're a small company. They're kind of sitting on the sidelines and 363 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:19,560 they're waiting for Earthrise to 364 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:23,800 come and make a move. Is is my guess. So I 365 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,520 They had to have a conversation with every road commissioner. 366 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,560 Um and they had the same I had the same My 367 00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:33,480 attorney sent the forms to them to fill out the 368 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:37,040 professional fee agreement. So they haven't signed anything, but 369 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,520 um I don't hear really too much from them. 370 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,920 » So that means the same thing there that they're kind of in a holding pattern as 371 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:49,000 well. And I haven't received any calls as well. 372 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:53,000 So hopefully sometimes no news is good 373 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:56,400 news, you know, for us and our position. 374 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,960 Um Okay, any any other comments regarding 375 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,880 the solar? >> Uh you know, I have one comment. 376 00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:05,920 I would just like to make uh one suggestion for uh 377 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,240 road commissioner. >> Sure. 378 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,120 » So, um since you're kind of like in the seat of 379 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,040 power, and 380 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:20,160 you realize, obviously, many of the road commissioners out here 381 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:23,680 realize that Green Garden Green Garden has a lot of problems with 382 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,320 flooding. It's a mess. And 383 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:30,680 I don't even know how to even fix it. You certainly don't have the funding to 384 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,640 do all the engineering. Maybe you want to 385 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:37,400 try to figure out if we can't get them to pay something for some of this 386 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:41,280 funding or for the or pay for the engineering 387 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:44,920 to fix what's going to come. Because, you know, 388 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,680 I know they said that they're going to reroute those drain tiles, but when they 389 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,560 put 300,000 posts 390 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:55,280 smashing in the ground with a hammer, uh 391 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,440 unless it's raining, you're not going to know what's 392 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:03,680 happening. And if there's some way that we could 393 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:09,480 maybe uh take some of these lands, we let them restore them back to a wetland, 394 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:13,160 and maybe allow for some of the water to collect there. 395 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,480 If we could get some engineers to work out something 396 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,840 with the farmers, cuz there's a possibility the farmers could get paid 397 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:24,480 for that. It's part of your deal. You could use a 398 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,960 little bit of leverage in your position to maybe uh 399 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,720 get ahead of some of this flooding that's going to come. 400 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:37,440 So, there's a lot of uh in 1845, they passed a law that said that you 401 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:42,240 could drain all these wetlands if you were going to grow food. Now, they're 402 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,240 not growing food on them. 403 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:49,520 So, those wetlands should be either restored or at least everything, 404 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:53,000 you know, below them, there should be some sort of 405 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:56,960 accommodations. A lot right next to the house that you probably know, that the 406 00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:01,360 gentleman on the property, there's a lot right 407 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:06,920 next door to him. That That could be restored to a wetland. 408 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:11,240 Just right there, it's it's already, you know, flooding and low. 409 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:15,320 And some of these lots could actually be sold 410 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:19,960 or bought or partnered for like land bank with developers. 411 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:23,640 And some of them can actually be sold for carbon credits. 412 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,960 So, there's a lot of things that can be done. 413 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:31,160 But, I mean, I I don't even know where to begin. It's a mess. 414 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:35,800 You know, with all these Nobody has maps of any of these drain tiles. Nobody 415 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,720 knows what's going on. Maybe, you know, if somebody with these billions of 416 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:44,120 dollars would be able to get them to do some comprehensive engineering 417 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,120 to help out. 418 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:51,640 » Excuse me. I just had an idea >> [clears throat] 419 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:56,040 » Yeah, I'll answer. All all good points. 420 00:29:53,520 --> 00:30:01,040 I have I have thought of that um 421 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:04,000 as far as if they're going to offer If this thing goes in 422 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,720 um cuz I got to look at it both ways, you 423 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:10,880 know, I got to fight the fight, but if it does go in, what are we going to get? 424 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:14,480 And I've told Dena that if if we're going to get anything, it's going to 425 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,960 help people out that see the most is going to help them. 426 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,800 So, people have to look at the solar farms. They got flooding issues that we 427 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:24,800 try to go help those people's help. We're going to help them them. 428 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:27,520 Um I They did say that all of their wetland area, they're not putting panels 429 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,560 in. So, that's not going to have panels in. 430 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:35,040 That's what they're saying. Um and then the other thing I did say um 431 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,880 my point was is I've been driving around and looked at 432 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:42,000 their project in Gibson City Gibson City Gibson, 433 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:46,000 Illinois, wherever that's at. Central Illinois, whatever the name of it is. 434 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:50,040 City of Gibson. Anyways, this really looks terrible. 435 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:53,320 If you drive by these solar farms, they look awful. It's like someone's not 436 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:58,480 taking care of the the vegetation. So, I said 437 00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:02,360 I said, "Can you guys just do like 12 or 18 rows of corn around the whole 438 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,640 perimeter? At least give us a counter shield so we don't have to look at the 439 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:08,320 stuff." And he liked the idea. So, I don't know, 440 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:14,080 but maybe he'll say he has like another idea that sounds pretty good. Like 441 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:17,600 either Calvin or Calvin cuz I do talk to the guy. So, I 442 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:21,920 He knows I'm not for it, but I still do take his phone calls and I phone call 443 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:25,080 him, he'll take my phone call. So, I just think that's a a good way to do 444 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,920 business. So, listen, if you have any suggestions, feel free to follow up with 445 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,400 me while I'm up here and I can get it to him. 446 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:38,560 » Okay, thank you, Jim. Um okay, so that's that's pretty much 447 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:43,920 the solar update. Everyone's in the background doing doing 448 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:47,440 as much as we possibly can on this. Um 449 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:52,200 next item on the agenda under unfinished business is community services. 450 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:56,160 Um I've said this before and um 451 00:31:54,400 --> 00:32:00,320 you know, it don't only go so far. We've had a couple big hurdles prior to all 452 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,520 this. Solar is one of them. Town hall is the other. 453 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:09,440 Always wanted the community services to take a big lift 454 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,440 and and begin to really um 455 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,840 develop these. When we had our 456 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:20,040 when I when I would consider a a 457 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:23,600 minor disaster, for some it was it was more than that, what just happened with 458 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:29,120 the storm, it really would have been good if we had 459 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:33,800 volunteers set in place already that could help out. Uh I know I 460 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:38,560 was told you know, first of all, Jim, I want to 461 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:44,360 thank you know, behalf of the township and and everyone here for the great job 462 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:48,320 you've done. You volunteered to do that. Um and as correct me if I'm wrong, Jim, 463 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:53,240 as a road commissioner, uh road district, you can't really go on 464 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:57,560 someone's property and help them pull it to the street 465 00:32:54,760 --> 00:33:03,040 because of liability reasons. So, that being said, 466 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:07,680 community service, disaster relief, that is somewhat of a disaster that would be 467 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:13,560 great if we had some volunteers that would be willing to help somebody that 468 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:16,480 has a big lot that's, you know, hundreds and hundreds of feet away. And how do 469 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,040 they bring it forward? And obviously, you call a professional and you pay for 470 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,920 it. And that's what we That's our responsibility as homeowners. 471 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,880 But certainly, the elderly and and others 472 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,520 that just can't afford it, it'd be great if we could come together as a 473 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,960 community. So, just wanted to bring that up again to 474 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,880 the board. Um and ask 475 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,800 uh the community, we'll probably post this 476 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:45,200 on our Facebook page and get the word out. We are looking for volunteers that 477 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:48,200 we can have in place so that something like that happens 478 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:54,360 again, we make a phone call, we have a 479 00:33:49,720 --> 00:34:01,080 chairperson, and boom, we're we we start making it happen for people. 480 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,440 Um so, that that would be a good thing. >> Concerning this thing? 481 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,840 » Yes. >> Concerning that. 482 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:11,399 Um did the board submit a disaster declaration 483 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:15,520 on behalf of the residents that incurred significant damage 484 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,879 um from the recent storms? >> Did we? 485 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:21,040 » Yes, did you? >> No, we did not. 486 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:25,960 » Um because other town All the communities around us are submitting 487 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:29,800 these disaster uh 488 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:34,800 declarations or proclamations. And Anthony DeLuca said if you send it 489 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:38,840 directly to him, he'll make sure it goes directly to the governor 490 00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:41,679 so that we can get relief to some extent." 491 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:48,120 » Well, that's that's an interesting thing. Now, you you mentioned counties. 492 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,879 Is that Is that Do they go as low as the townships? 493 00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:55,879 » If you When you submit it, you have to submit it Um I suggest you submit it two 494 00:34:54,080 --> 00:35:01,400 ways.

Yes, it's a slow increase. It's 540 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:13,920 educating these seniors and the um disabled community um that it's 541 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:19,480 available to them. So, all of these things are um I'm glad you put this list 542 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:22,840 um out there. It's on our website facility 543 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,440 and the residents know where to go to get 544 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:29,200 the information. >> Yeah, and we'll start moving 545 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:32,080 even further. So, uh 546 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:39,520 very quickly, the food pantry youth program, Wes Shepherd, um 547 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:43,560 is is oversees that and he touches with with your church on that.

So thanks for doing that Belinda. 584 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,400 Any other comments on that? 585 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:38,920 You want to talk about we really didn't talk we didn't make a decision of course 586 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:43,560 that's what we talked about $20 an hour it's a part-time position 587 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:48,760 there would be strict guidance on logging hours in so 588 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:54,800 obviously if you have a abundance of FOIAs one month you'd be more hours and 589 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,800 if you have none you'd be none. 590 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,520 Yeah, they have to get certified that's right. Yes. 591 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:10,200 Yeah, we're getting quite a few FOIAs and um 592 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:16,720 it's it's been a little bit overwhelming and we really need to have two people 593 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,720 that are trained in that department. 594 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:24,560 Okay, if there's no other discussion on that, that brings us to our reporting 595 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:29,400 which many of us have done, but we've got a road commissioner's report. 596 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:33,680 » Do you need to vote on that? >> No, no, we don't. 597 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:37,280 » Because it's only my department that's on the line. 598 00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:42,760 » We'll bring it up as a motion to vote. >> Which will probably happen once we do 599 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:46,840 the interviews some candidates, when we're ready to hire it will come up for 600 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,840 a vote. 601 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,960 » Do you use that department? >> No. 602 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,120 » Ready? >> Yes. 603 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,600 Um well, we started 604 00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:01,960 Testing, testing. We started out with working on drain 605 00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:04,680 tiles, cleaning them out, jetting jetting them. 606 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:09,000 And then we had the big storm that was July 607 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:12,560 27th. Um 608 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:17,680 once that storm happened, there is a usually network for public works 609 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:23,000 departments, road districts. Um and one of the active days called for 610 00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:27,920 help. So, I believe it was is it in the day 3:30 all of our roads were cleaned 611 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:31,560 out so we could traffic move by. So, the following day the 28th we sent a truck 612 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:35,640 there to help them out. Um which is nice to help your neighbors 613 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:40,480 out and they're out of control in their town, but you can get through one street 614 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:44,360 downtown. Not one street. There was trees all over the place. 615 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,480 So, um I actually went over there with another 616 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:50,080 guy following day started cleaning up a 617 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:54,640 little bit and then our residents started bringing stuff out to us. 618 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:58,600 So, we had to come back home and take care of our own place, but 619 00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:03,120 today is the first day that everything was cleaned up so we're good, but I know 620 00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:08,680 other people will be bringing things out later on. So, we ran a double crew from 621 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:12,360 July 28th until now. Um what I'll probably do now is weather 622 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:16,160 permitting is just run a single curve one day a week just to 623 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:20,360 pick up everything else. I put a timeline on the branch pickups just 624 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,520 because if I don't, you know, somebody's going to be putting their branch stuff 625 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:27,000 in November when I'm trying to plow snow. And it did happen last year, 626 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:30,200 believe it or not. So, that's why the timeline is there. I'll still pick them 627 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:33,560 up, but it's now it's like sitting out there for a week or a week and a half 628 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:37,400 before I get it. Um 629 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:42,120 but it was it was really good. The guys did a great job. It was hot, humid. 630 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:46,040 The residents were great to them. People stopped up all all times thanking 631 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:50,480 us which I really appreciate. Water, food, helped team up there. They feed us 632 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:53,920 everybody. It was It was actually really fun. It was 633 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:56,120 a lot of hard work, but they enjoyed it. Um 634 00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:03,000 the other thing was is just the buying with the residents. Pat Howsen Farms, 635 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:07,120 Scott Pat Howsen. Thanks to him and the farm. 636 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:12,120 Um we use a machine. It's a proper bucket and that saves so much time cuz 637 00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:15,640 we can pick up three 40-ft trees with this thing, put it in 638 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:18,880 the truck, and burn it. And ours broke really day number three. He's like, 639 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:23,000 "What about my house?" He's like, "I'll route one." He's like, "I'll pull it to 640 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:26,000 my house. Pick it up." So, we use that bucket and we 641 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,160 he doesn't rent farm equipment from us in the township, but it's nice that you 642 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:32,320 can have a relationship like that with our 643 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,320 residents. 644 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:40,440 All right. So, the future, um Michelle Road bridge, hopefully I'll I'll talk 645 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:44,600 about this in the future, but still got a few more weeks on it at least. 646 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:47,960 Um the bridge is tore out. They started construction. 647 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,880 Um they have like a temporary wall put in. 648 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:54,440 It's probably going to be water and the steel. And then I can see that they have 649 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:58,320 um all of the area surveyed for where the 650 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:03,400 pylons need to be driven. So, I don't know when they're doing that. I called 651 00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:07,680 on it uh today and the report wasn't in that shape when but there is progress. 652 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:12,480 Uh in August, uh as everyone knows, Christy 653 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:16,160 may turn our site. Um they're going to start the chip and 654 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:20,200 seal. So, probably the third week of August, again depending on weather. And 655 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:26,720 the roads that are going to be chip and seal are going to be West the 45th, and 656 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:31,120 Colling Road, Runnels Road, and Doralie. Then, the other roads will be 657 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:34,840 80th and 80th Avenue, and then between 658 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:37,080 Colling and Hopper. Got it. 659 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:44,160 Uh and then uh 660 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:47,680 last major road project for um well, whenever they do it in a year, is 661 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:53,000 going to be a mill and overlay on Runnels Road. Um that's going to be 662 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:58,120 where Links Edge entrance is on Runnels, and it's going to go all the way to just 663 00:46:54,480 --> 00:47:00,800 a little bit past Wildhorse entrance. That is it. 664 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:05,320 Oh, one more One last thing, too, I did uh 665 00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:09,720 for the uh reports, um I can I filled out the FEMA for the uh branch pickup. I 666 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:13,240 got a word count, so if you get something different, do you send send it 667 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:17,400 to me? >> They're asking for something different 668 00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:17,400 for reimbursement. 669 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:23,840 » Oh, sorry. >> We're sorry. 670 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:28,160 » Yeah. All right, uh one more residents, All right. 671 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:31,280 I'm just running the air conditioner. This is the last thing. 672 00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:41,040 We have an issue of the 2008-2009 downturn with the construction. There 673 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:44,960 was a few subdivisions that uh they were stagnant for quite a while, 674 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:49,680 and developer um sold probably three, four, 10 times. 675 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:52,480 I really don't know how many times. Uh 676 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:56,520 Sheral Boyd, particularly right now, is starting to fill in. Um 677 00:47:54,880 --> 00:48:00,640 but the person that is the developer or or 678 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,840 owns it uh 679 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:06,640 is not is not doing any maintenance on it. So, 680 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,840 we're trying to push him a little bit. Um 681 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:12,920 but they're really not getting any work. So, like the light fixtures, 682 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:17,680 um they're not working. Um there's got to be another um 683 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,960 layer of blacktop put on the roads. Um 684 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,360 so, the way it works from what I understand, 685 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,800 I'm kind of This is something new to me. It's 686 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,000 We haven't had a subdivision built here since 687 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,240 2005. It is 688 00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:32,880 as the developer will come in and at a 689 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,600 certain point after the houses are built, 690 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,680 they ask the road commissioner to take the roads over. 691 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:42,040 Um at that point, I would go in there just 692 00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:45,120 like a new house, assess everything, like punch list stuff. 693 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:49,200 Street lights need to be fixed, whatever lights broke, curb broke. Um and then 694 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,560 they would put the last layer of asphalt on. 695 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:55,360 Um this person that's in Charlotte Boy 696 00:48:53,240 --> 00:48:58,280 doesn't sound like this is happening. So, one of the residents is very nervous 697 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:02,040 about it. Uh he wrote a letter, I can read it, um 698 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,920 but that's what it's about. So, there's a letter of credit that should be at the 699 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:08,080 county. Um 700 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:11,440 the original person had one, but this person doesn't seem to be taking it 701 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:15,080 over. So, they'll be there once we have a lot with 702 00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:19,320 the subdivision that's, you know, been destroyed and not finished up. 703 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:22,040 So, uh it's from Tyler Ziever. Uh 704 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:25,920 he really wants this on the record cuz he's just trying to fix a problem before 705 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:29,800 it gets too late. Um I want to bring this to the attention 706 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:33,960 of the board. I did some self-research regarding the subdivision in Charlotte 707 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:37,680 Boy in Brown Township. From what I have been able to gather 708 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:40,920 from public data, the subdivision was sold and the 709 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:45,800 new developer was brought in. The biggest concern currently is that there 710 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:51,520 is an active legal responsibility to that developer to ensure the final layer 711 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:54,080 is completed. That's the asphalt I'm talking about. 712 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:07,240 After speaking with the county they said that the letter of credit 713 00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:11,360 half a million dollars was indifferent and other than the current developer 714 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:15,120 and and we're unable to state whether the letter of credit would apply if the 715 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,640 current developer failed to face obligation. 716 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:21,840 And they had stated they are and the model 717 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:26,560 multiple times to get the developer to transfer this information but 718 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:30,640 have been unable to do so. I wanted to bring this to the attention of Green 719 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:34,760 Garden and that they just may at some point become a large liability 720 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:38,520 for either Green Garden, the county or the residents of Shepherd Woods. 721 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,880 Um Ralph 722 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,720 you're in charge of the land, right? 723 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:48,080 » Yes. >> I'm sorry to bring that up to you but 724 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:51,720 you can do anything with that. 725 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,720 » I want to. 726 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,240 » Yeah, we're going 727 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:06,120 » Normally the letter of credit has an expiration date. I'm not very familiar 728 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:11,080 with that but I know that our letter of credit expired 729 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:14,320 and it can be very costly when you have to pay the street. 730 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:20,000 Um when you contact the county find out if 731 00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:26,080 the letter of credit the date on expiration is coming near that we don't 732 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:29,680 want to let that go to expire if it expires. 733 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:35,080 Yeah, that's that's a problem. Um is that something that once you find 734 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:40,040 out our lawyer can look at that and make sure it's in order cuz that's important. 735 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:46,360 » Thank you. Thanks for bringing that to our 736 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:50,920 attention. We just got that email. I got it today forwarded to 737 00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:55,760 Jim and then he called. So, thanks for being 738 00:51:53,600 --> 00:52:01,640 on top of that. Okay, so that concludes the road 739 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:06,360 commissioner's report. Trustees report. Starting with Linda, any any report 740 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:09,120 other than the financial report? Okay. 741 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,600 » No. >> No. 742 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,280 » No. >> What's that? 743 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:17,160 » Okay, I I do not have anything further Jim as 744 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:23,400 well. So, that brings us to public comments. 745 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:27,600 So, what I'd ask you to do is West will provide a microphone if you'd 746 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:32,160 like to come up once. And if you could just come up to the 747 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:36,600 mic, stand up, state your name please. First and last name for the record. 748 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,840 » Yes. >> I'll pull the mic over to you when 749 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,840 you're ready. 750 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:47,480 » Also, whoever is using it, if your body blocks the signal 751 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,280 » I'm going to put the thing right here. >> it gets some 752 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:53,960 » Dan said it's >> Yeah, he's saying sideways like this. 753 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:56,240 » No, I'll just make it up. >> Okay. 754 00:52:54,600 --> 00:53:00,280 » And how long are you >> Uh it's a 2-minute public comment. We've 755 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:03,720 got a timer. Um 756 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:06,680 and uh our first first public comment 757 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,920 Stand and state your name for the record, please. 758 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:14,440 » Yeah, William Cunningham. So, I I just want to comment on the 759 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:18,200 consideration of the FOIA officer. I did a little research and River Trails 760 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:21,680 Township is the only township in Illinois 761 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:24,800 to have a dedicated FOIA officer that is an elected 762 00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:30,280 official. So, while we consider asking our boards 763 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:33,040 and our other uh 764 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:38,120 like the bodies and our taxing entities to cut some 765 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:41,400 slack to the taxpayers to give a little bit of relief. I know the 766 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:46,320 county board has given relief with holding the line the 11 twice. I ask 767 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:50,160 this board to hold that line 11 and increase it by 5%. And now there's 768 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:54,840 plenty of room to grow and they would be the only township in 769 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:57,680 the whole state to do this. So, let's consider how many points we're 770 00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:01,960 dealing that we would have to be at that level 771 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:04,840 to be the only township in the whole state 772 00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:08,480 that would be in this type of a position. 773 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:12,560 Secondly, we're asking people to donate their time and volunteer to pull trees. 774 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:15,760 Who would want to pay $20 an hour to work for somebody who can't volunteer to 775 00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:19,560 help other people out, sir? I would ask that this township really 776 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:23,960 consider where they're putting their priorities. 777 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:28,320 » Okay, thank you, Martin, and we will consider what you have said. 778 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,040 Any other public comment? 779 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,720 Anyone else? 780 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:47,200 Can you please state your full name for the record? 781 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,840 » Should I go to the side? >> Yeah, 782 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:52,240 you're right next to me. >> Okay. 783 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:54,720 Uh my name is Wendy Bendotti. So, can you hear me okay? 784 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:05,160 » Could you spell your last name for >> Oh, sorry. I write this. Bendotti, B E N 785 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:07,280 D O T T I. >> Okay. 786 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:10,880 » So, we didn't want to do this public readings because 787 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:14,440 we live in our golf creek with the estates, okay? 788 00:55:13,240 --> 00:55:19,520 » Golf creek, you said? >> Golf creek estates, 789 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:22,200 and I'm quick to say that, okay? And um I was wondering 790 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:26,360 if if there's any kind of homeowner 791 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:30,720 association here at all. Because the reason is is this something 792 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:34,280 I should talk about publicly or should I do this on the side? Is that okay? 793 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,920 » It's okay. Yeah, how would you like to say whatever you would like to 794 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,400 say? >> Okay, so I just have a question. So, 795 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:42,200 right in the front, and then of you've gone down Bronx Road at Golf Course 796 00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:47,200 entrance, Golf Course Estates, 797 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:49,800 our landscaping there is always a challenge. 798 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:55,000 Uh my husband and I try to go up there once a year to do some digging and try 799 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:59,560 to clean it up. Uh so, my question is, you know, 800 00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:02,480 is there any way of getting the the neighbors involved, or is it 801 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:07,960 something we just have to take on individually if we care? Cuz I care, you 802 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:11,240 know, and I just feel like not a lot of other people do, and I know 803 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:15,720 that it sounds personal to me, but anyway, but we just think it could look 804 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:18,360 a lot nicer, and I feel responsible for that. 805 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:21,760 So, is there I don't know if there's any association 806 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:24,760 left in that, or um you know, who 807 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,960 » I'm not >> You're saying Creek Road, 808 00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:30,080 Golf Creek? >> It's up Bronx. It's right near the Golf 809 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,400 Course again. >> It's just before the wild grass. 810 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,600 » It's on Lexington. >> Yeah, I don't have that. I don't have an 811 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,840 address. >> How How many total homes are there? 812 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:42,000 » I think 20. >> Okay. I was in I was in there I was in 813 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:45,480 there a couple months back, and 814 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:49,600 yeah, I I wasn't aware of a homeowners association. 815 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:52,520 I mean, if if someone else has a suggestion, 816 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:59,480 um so, if you're in the same situation as White Oak Summit, it's very much 817 00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:03,280 similar. >> They had like a a whole roundabout, and 818 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:06,840 people took care of it, and then also most people moved on, and nobody takes 819 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:09,840 care of it at all. >> The one thing I would suggest is one of 820 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:13,360 my kids was in the East Coast, and they 821 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:18,240 moved in, and somebody went around and said, "Would you give me whatever, $20 822 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:21,520 or $50, a small amount, which is a deck break for like 823 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,560 um 4th of July, things like that." You're not going to get everybody. 824 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,600 You'll probably have a hard time getting a homeowners association to apply. 825 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,480 I mean, but maybe if you get some donations, 826 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:32,240 they can hire a landscaper to go out there, cuz it probably won't be that 827 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:36,160 much money to do it, but that might work. 828 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:40,000 » That's what I was thinking. I Okay. Um I 829 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:44,240 have other times so it's kind of hard to pull the people together. 830 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:46,760 Um but uh it you know when you've got a lot of ideas written out of what we're 831 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:51,200 going to do and what we're going to do soon to clean it up. Um but yeah, I mean 832 00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:55,680 we're just going to get older. Did you like that I said that? 833 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:58,240 Yeah, and um so it's yeah it I don't want to make the neighbors mad 834 00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:02,000 at me. I just want to say, "Hey, if we can get 835 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:05,840 it, you know, I'm asking for twice a year, spring and fall kind of thing, to 836 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:09,640 help us keep this keep it nice, you know?

So, I can't put anything in the minutes 881 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:28,560 that didn't happen at the meeting. >> So, the was a 882 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:32,560 There was a policy voted on, and then the fact that I wrote the legal 883 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:37,520 objection or after directly following that, you'll see that we probably do the 884 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:41,240 » No, it's it's outside of my opinion. The only thing that could go on the meeting 885 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,640 minutes is is something that was said after the meeting. 886 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:46,280 » Okay. >> So, now there will be in this meeting 887 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:49,720 minutes. Uh 888 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:52,120 Okay, any other public comment? >> I just have a question. 889 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,200 Going back to the >> Share your name for the record, please. 890 01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:02,160 » Dee Gary, 12 Franklin Street. I'm new to the area. I've been here 891 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:05,560 about 9 months. I have a question for the road commissioner. You mentioned 892 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:10,440 about cleaning up uh branches and things. Um thankfully, we did not get 893 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:13,920 hit with anything bad. But, in the future, I'd like to know how does this 894 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:17,440 work? Are you supposed to put things at the curb? I have no idea. And then you 895 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:20,880 also mentioned that's the number one question. Number two, you mentioned 896 01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:24,640 something about chip and seal. What is that? And you mentioned something about 897 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:27,600 bronze. Can you go over that again about what what's going to happen to the road? 898 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,200 Thank you. >> Okay, thank you. 899 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:42,320 The uh So, the road district We're pretty good road district in the 900 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:45,640 county. We're the third biggest one. We have two full-time employees. I do have 901 01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:48,440 some part-timers. So, 902 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:51,600 uh in that like a storm, I could hire a few more people and 903 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:54,960 run that double crew. Uh but, I do come get to I do that 904 01:02:53,560 --> 01:03:00,360 branch pick up. If you want to send the branches out, 905 01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:02,720 just put it so the cut edges are close to the street. 906 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:07,280 » Who do you contact? >> You contact me um if you either email me 907 01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:10,640 or something, either one is fine. >> Oh, like what department? I mean, I 908 01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,800 » The the road commissioner. >> Road commissioner. 909 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:16,080 » Road commissioner, yeah. So, the >> Under Low County or 910 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:19,120 » Green Garden Township, yeah. So, if you go on the website, my contact 911 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,200 information is there. Otherwise, you can just get it in the 912 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:26,320 Um It's pretty simple. Basically, I did 913 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:29,480 The issue I do have is we do put them out. We try to get them 914 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:33,920 out as soon as possible, but there's just times that it takes us a week. So, 915 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:37,680 be prepared for them to be out there for a week or, you know, hopefully less. 916 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:43,320 Um chip and seal or tar and chip 917 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:46,840 on the country, there's um it's it's not a paved road, so it's what 918 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:51,000 it is. It's a gravel road, and then we go 919 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:55,400 through there and take a um it's it's like a 920 01:03:53,640 --> 01:04:01,240 it's an emulsion. It's almost like a pavement. It's very thin. We only spray 921 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:05,840 that probably like maybe like 4 cm. And then once that goes down, they'll put a 922 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:10,120 It's called C16, which is a really small chip. And that goes over it. You need to 923 01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:15,400 do that about two times, and then that gravel road will turn to a hard road. 924 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:18,920 Um we do it three times, but it's still a good It helps out. It's nowhere near 925 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:23,320 the strength of pavement. So, when you drive down to the gravel roads, you'll 926 01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:25,880 notice they're can get pretty bumpy cuz they're 927 01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:29,320 not known for their stability. Um that's the other reason for the time 928 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:32,600 zone road, and then so the 929 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:36,280 it's called A1 application. The 930 01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:39,800 roads after a while that chip wears off, so I respray on it. So, when they start 931 01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,880 getting If you notice, they'll get black some. 932 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:46,080 And when they get real dark black, that means they're wearing down. So, that's 933 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:49,680 how you can tell. So, I spray over it. Um and then the last question about the 934 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:55,040 pavement, Bronx Road, that is from Linkside to the 935 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:59,720 South Division just to your south. Um on Bronx Road, there's an entrance 936 01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:03,280 with a They'll get milled down 2 and 1/2 in. So, just a machine that comes down 937 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:06,280 and grinds up that first and that layer of pavement. 938 01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:10,320 And then it will go all the way down to Wildgrass 939 01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:14,200 um with pavement at there. And then once that's done, it's prepped for uh 940 01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:18,280 resurfacing. We still put another 2 and 1/2 in the top. 941 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:21,760 So, that road will be nice when they're done with that section. 942 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:25,280 » Do we have a date that that's going to happen or 943 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:28,840 » The So, the the chip and seal project is going to be in August, weather 944 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:32,240 permitting and weather permitting. The paving project 945 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:37,040 I can't give you a date because typically it's done by now, but it's the 946 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:40,040 same contractor that's doing Route 45. And if you've noticed, Route 45 doesn't 947 01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,360 seem to be moving too fast. >> Yeah. 948 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:45,400 » So, so anything they tell me, I'm not going 949 01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:48,680 to say in the meeting, but it it'll happen. I mean, they're It's a big 950 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:52,760 company that's here, but they I just don't know why. 951 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:56,400 » Thank you very much. Uh yeah, the the website greengardentownship.com 952 01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:01,600 uh shows There's a lot of information on there. 953 01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:05,440 We we put The first question that that we asked 954 01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:10,800 when we We had it on our Facebook page, but we have 300 followers, right?

And then sometimes, depending on what it is, 959 01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:34,160 it gets forwarded to the Green Garden Watch, 960 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:38,320 uh which is obviously unofficial information 961 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,320 of our township. 962 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:43,840 Okay, very good.

Like black asphalt, I just want to know 969 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,760 however we're going to handle it. 970 01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:22,480 So, I did get a hold of the developer on that one and it was strictly on property 971 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:25,680 back there. They didn't give a permission to get on. 972 01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:28,840 So, if I am going to put a gate up, that's 973 01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:33,760 up to Bill County, the department, fire department. 974 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:36,600 So, we all have I have the okay to do it. 975 01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:40,960 I don't I have the time. So, it's going to happen. I just don't know when. 976 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:45,920 I had a guy in house in the county getting the gate. So, 977 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,920 » Yeah, so blocking it off is the story. 978 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:50,400 » But, if you Yes, sir. In the back there. 979 01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,640 Excuse me? 980 01:07:55,320 --> 01:08:01,120 » All right. Tyler Zuber, guy who sent the email to Jim. I just got here, so I'm 981 01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:05,480 just going to follow up and give a face to the name. Um the Charlotte Woods 982 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:10,080 subdivision with the letter of credit that we're talking about. Um just wanted 983 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:14,440 to check and get on paper with you guys. Going to give you a brief response. I 984 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:17,319 didn't quite hear it on the live stream. Um 985 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:22,520 I just want to confirm who that liability will end with. Whether it will 986 01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:27,200 be a resident of Charlotte Woods, all of us, um the taxpayers or 987 01:08:25,799 --> 01:08:31,160 um the government pretty much any people, whether it's county or the 988 01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:34,680 township. Um I know actually you already mentioned something about the expiration 989 01:08:32,799 --> 01:08:38,680 of it. That'd be awesome to see if we can get that 990 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:41,960 um presented so we can prove one way or the other that it's there. Um Jim's been 991 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:46,319 a great help, so thank you, Jim. I appreciate it. Um I just wanted to come 992 01:08:44,480 --> 01:08:48,440 here and get that email that was written up. That was good. Thanks. Thank you, 993 01:08:47,839 --> 01:08:50,880 guys. >> Thank you. 994 01:08:52,359 --> 01:08:55,520 » Thank you. You have a couple questions. 995 01:08:56,839 --> 01:09:02,440 Have you voided the letter of credit from the county? 996 01:08:59,960 --> 01:09:05,920 » No, so I I only talked to a couple people from the county. I I didn't do 997 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:10,160 anything official since my first real official type thing that I was doing. Um 998 01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:13,200 I didn't want to go that route. It was always annoying. 999 01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:16,520 Um so I just wanted to talk to see if they could actually 1000 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:20,040 present the information legally to me without me paying. Um there's no reason 1001 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:25,520 to pay it if they're going to give it to you. So um no, I haven't. Um but if they 1002 01:09:23,359 --> 01:09:30,480 can get it and present it, the problem is is I don't know if I'm 1003 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:34,120 allowed to have it publicly. Um but somebody who is allowed to have it, 1004 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:39,960 if they can say, "Hey, yeah, this is good to go. This is in the correct name. 1005 01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:43,600 This is, you know, active and and and ready to go at any point in time." I 1006 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:50,960 don't want to be behind the eight ball when something may or may not happen and 1007 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,960 then we are basically playing catch-up. 1008 01:09:52,799 --> 01:10:01,920 » Um Christy, can you clarify for me the minutes of the meeting has everything 1009 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:08,040 that was discussed verbally here? And um nothing is inserted into those 1010 01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:11,360 minutes if I hand you a piece of paper that has 1011 01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:15,400 a bunch of information that I haven't discussed out loud, that would not be 1012 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:18,400 inserted, correct? >> No. 1013 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,400 » Thank you. 1014 01:10:20,440 --> 01:10:25,640 » Any other public comments? >> I have a 1015 01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:29,200 Arbutus I have a question. What's the status of the newsletters? 1016 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:34,240 That's it. So the next question you wondered 1017 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:40,440 » The status of the newsletters.

So, with that, what we'll 1021 01:10:54,200 --> 01:11:01,880 do is we'll ask every department head and and here's how we started this 1022 01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:06,200 sometime ago now um to put together, please, I'm going to 1023 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:11,040 ask that each department head put together 1024 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:15,080 something that you would like in that newsletter. 1025 01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:18,360 Um and it doesn't have to be like super long, right? It can 1026 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:21,680 be short but you know, we want it 1027 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:26,040 concise, informative. Uh 1028 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:29,760 the trustee that's overseeing it maybe the project information. We'll have 1029 01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:34,360 solar portion with that with the town hall in 1030 01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:37,960 there. So, let's do it again. Let's let's make that a reality. It's time. 1031 01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:43,160 » It's time. >> It's time, Barbara. 1032 01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:47,800 I appreciate your patience with that. It is time to get 1033 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:52,280 Yeah, and and we we wanted to get people signing up for the email newsletters. 1034 01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:58,400 And only a few have done that.

And we hope that people sign up for the 1039 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:15,600 email newsletter as well. So, all the departments we're we're going to ask 1040 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:21,080 that.

Uh the person that's helping us on that 1043 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:32,800 who helped build this is Chris Russell. He does our website.
