[0:28] All right, so we are using the new system, so you'll have to bear with me as I move through the thing. All right, you should have

[0:35] We have, there are no public petitions right there, so you should have minutes in your packet from the meeting last month.

[0:46] And I made the minutes a little different at the top, where I put the motions at the top.

[1:14] If there are no questions, I'll entertain a motion to accept the minutes.

[1:22] Second.

[1:23] No less seconds, all in favor?

[1:53] Okay, so now we have the income from, it's not on my agenda, but we have the income

[2:01] for our last month, so we have the superintendent's report.

[2:04] You can see that it was a very, very busy month.

[2:13] Lots of internments, last month, lots of internments.

[2:20] Any questions about that form?

[2:27] Not for me.

[2:28] All

[2:34] right, moving on for a little minutes.

[2:36] Now we have approval claims and invoices for both claims and invoices, all right.

[2:41] So you'll have payables, which is the first stocket.

[2:45] You'll see 462.40 from butlers, and then $243.07 from CarQuest for oil belts and

[2:55] a oil filter.

[2:57] So our total is 747 for regular payables.

[3:21] I'll entertain a motion. If you guys don't have any questions, I'll entertain a motion to accept those.

[3:27] I'll leave to approve.

[3:30] Second.

[3:31] Okay. All in favor?

[3:33] Aye.

[3:43] I'm sorry, you just take some.

[3:46] We're just learning a new system, so there's that.

[3:48] Yes, please.

[3:53] All right, the next form is the direct payables for the month of August.

[4:00] So the visa bill is $104.47, and then the fuel bill of 156, or 1568, 37, for the fuel delivered for the month of August.

[4:16] And that grant will.

[4:18] That mainly covers mower.

[4:20] Mower's trucks.

[4:22] So it is diesel and gasoline.

[4:25] The excavator that we did get for the backhoe and the excavator, the diesel and one of our

[4:31] mower sticks diesel.

[4:36] That grand total is 1,672 and 84 cents. 1,672.

[4:46] It's an unattainable

[4:46] motion to accept that one if they're going to go for the questions.

[4:52] All

[4:59] the favour?

[5:00] Aye.

[5:04] Any opposed?

[5:05] No.

[5:19] Okay, ongoing and old business.

[5:30] We did discuss the wind phone last time and I had, we had, we had, we had, we had

[5:37] able to do, oh, Jeff wasn't even here to talk about the wind phone.

[5:41] Sarah Smith, a person born about installing a wind phone like there.

[5:46] I don't think I have it with me. It's just like a phone that's out there in old

[5:51] rotary tile and stuff on. She wanted to put it near the covered bridge with a

[5:57] little bench so people could sit there and use the wind phone to speak with

[6:02] their relatives.

[6:06] Nola has a picture of it here in her binder and there's the

[6:15] information and we had some discussion at the last meeting about it and the mayor advised

[6:22] that we check on accessibility and like compliance with ADA ability, you know, the ability for

[6:28] people to actually access this. We did talk about some accessibility and it would be really

[6:34] good. So if the boards will approve, I'm going to go back to Sarah and suggest alternate locations

[6:40] in the cemetery that are accessible.

[6:45] We have a concrete pad.

[6:47] We have a brick pad over by the Abbey building.

[6:50] That is right beside the road.

[6:52] There's a little like in front of the Abbey.

[6:53] There is parking right there where they could park

[6:55] and be out of the way.

[6:57] And then we could put a bench in this phone there

[7:00] on the brick pad.

[7:02] There's another location in the back by the Butler Road

[7:08] where you come down from the Butler

[7:09] that we could make we could make it accessible there as well so I'm going to

[7:14] suggest two alternatives to Sarah if the board will say yes we still want to

[7:20] pursue this and you want me to suggest that we move it the other alternative is

[7:25] we could make we

[7:30] could make it accessible on the other end of the

[7:33] cemetery like up on the north side there's no opportunity up there because we're

[7:37] ready to take out a tree so we could kind of have some accessibility up there on

[7:42] the north end where would be unpaved and then we could put in there's already

[7:49] parking right there and we could just put it right beside that parking and then

[7:53] she could still see the sunset from over there the only issue up there is if they

[8:00] do do something with the deco it will be in that way but so

[8:10] I guess I'm asking

[8:10] if the board wants to allow the wind phone to begin with and then if you have

[8:19] an preferences to where or to offer alternative locations that are

[8:25] accessible not

[8:31] near a shelter wouldn't that be I guess they're not yeah we could put

[8:40] it at the shelter because we have the shelter in the Memorial Garden where we

[8:45] could set it but the only accessibility would be inside that shelter as the

[8:51] sidewalk you know it's concrete it all the way up which we could do that as

[8:54] well and it wouldn't be as long as it's not a huge box like a phone booth

[9:06] Yeah, so many people just are right, yes, I know I know, so I know

[9:16] I don't want to invite more than and

[9:21] we have one gentleman that still comes to

[9:23] the cemetery every day and

[9:27] still does his you know daily walk and visits his

[9:32] wife every day.

[9:36] Is this something that she has in place somewhere? No, no, she was

[9:42] Why is this what it is?

[9:45] Basically, yes.

[9:46] And

[9:53] you said you've seen something, did we use it?

[9:55] Yeah, there's one at the beach.

[9:57] I was too lazy to walk.

[9:59] I was too lazy to walk to the other end of the island

[10:01] to go do, but there is one at the beach where we got,

[10:04] where I just was, but I drove as far as you could go.

[10:10] And then decided I wasn't going to walk there, so.

[10:15] I did get an email from her the other day and I just told her that it had been

[10:22] tabled and that it would be brought up again so I think she's expecting some

[10:27] sort of resolution to it but I didn't get into much detail as far as you know

[10:34] access and stuff like that, I just told her that the cemetery board would be.

[10:41] So it's not any more serious maintenance or anything like that?

[10:45] No.

[10:49] I'm not against that.

[10:51] I mean, I think there's probably, it's probably beneficial to people, not just her, but others

[11:01] once they get the word out and it gets around, I think the location is very well

[11:10] good for you. No, we're just waiting here for the phone. Can I help you? I think what the main thing right now is

[11:30] more location. I like her idea of wanting it down by the covered bridge, but it's not

[11:39] feasible for that. I mean, it would be a nice place for it, but unfortunately it's

[11:47] not to where people can access it. That might, you know, that are not able to walk

[11:57] get distant and rough terrain and that. So, are you not going to put any directional signs?

[12:05] No.

[12:06] Okay.

[12:07] We're pretty much done with signage, hopefully.

[12:09] Okay.

[12:10] Oh my gosh.

[12:13] Signage and fences we were done.

[12:18] So, are you okay if I offer the suggestion that we either go by the Abbey or the Memorial

[12:24] Garden area?

[12:25] Yes.

[12:25] Okay.

[12:26] Yes.

[12:27] Those would be the best scores.

[12:29] Yeah.

[12:31] So can we, I assume we need a motion?

[12:35] Jeff makes a motion.

[12:36] Oh, this is talking.

[12:37] There's a word meeting.

[12:38] Jeff makes a motion.

[12:39] Motion.

[12:40] Motion.

[12:40] Two.

[12:41] And I'll second.

[12:42] Offer.

[12:43] I'll try to do that.

[12:44] I'll try to do that.

[12:46] I'll try to do that.

[12:47] And it's just something that you're going to bring.

[12:50] Have her come out and show her the different options.

[12:54] Yes.

[12:54] and explain to her why she already understands that she works for a local

[13:09] business that already deals with that okay yeah so yes I will now after we get

[13:16] done with the meeting I'll send her an email that says when you're free come

[13:19] and we can set this up, and I can show over those locations.

[13:24] All right, so we have a motion from Jeff

[13:26] to offer alternative locations, Linda's seconded.

[13:28] All in favor?

[13:30] All right.

[13:33] All right, all

[13:39] right.

[13:39] There is still not a ship date for our column here, him.

[13:43] But I assume we'll have one.

[13:46] The year is getting to the end.

[13:51] We, I have sent messages back and forth with him,

[13:54] and he's like, we've communicated, but we just don't have it.

[13:59] And that's, and it should be, I told him I'd like to have it paid for

[14:04] by the end of this budget cycle.

[14:06] So he knows that I'm shopping at the bed.

[14:10] Is there a date that you would have to get the foundations in by before it

[14:16] snows?

[14:18] Yeah.

[14:18] So at the rate we're going, it feels like it's never going to snow in green

[14:22] I'm not gonna catch that.

[14:23] That's true.

[14:24] Wouldn't break my heart.

[14:26] Wouldn't not break my knee there.

[14:28] Not just any

[14:34] other ongoing business.

[14:44] There is nothing new other than we have a bunch of people

[14:53] that are doing their walks and everything again at the cemetery.

[14:56] We've just slowly seen an uptick.

[15:00] In the walks, so we're going to republish or re, I have the old map that we did, like the, the

[15:07] fitness map. So it'll be going out on Facebook again here soon, because people are constantly asking,

[15:12] well, how far is this? How far is that? And as the weather improves, we'll probably see even more

[15:20] people using the facilities. Nobody wants to walk for some reason, not only if the roads in Greek

[15:26] Castle and even you know we have one regular group of ladies that walks at the

[15:32] park sometimes and they were at the cemetery before but yeah people have been

[15:42] asking for information so I'll be publishing our map that says it's this

[15:46] distance and everything which is really cool it's already there it's just a

[15:51] file I found it yesterday so we'll publish it again for them you'll see it on

[15:55] Facebook and I'll probably send it to Aubrey so she can post the information and then maybe

[16:02] see if we can put it out there a little more so people know if they want to come walk they

[16:07] can do it. We haven't been seeing the DePaul students utilizing the cemetery yet but many of them

[16:12] just got back like we used to have the gentleman that well no were they like to run so yeah we haven't

[16:20] seen them running yet this year so we'll see what happens.

[16:27] I have a lot of trees at the

[16:29] cemetery and then there will be some tree work at the cemetery some stump grinding some

[16:36] tree work is coming up fairly soon I assume so there will be some tree work show up. Most

[16:45] Most of the things that are being removed have big white exes on them.

[16:49] Okay, it's mostly stumps that have big exes on them, but that's what they're for, that's

[16:54] what it's about.

[16:56] And not just air, but around town and the park as well have exes on them.

[17:01] So is there anything else that you guys have?

[17:03] All

[17:09] right, if you don't have anything else, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.

[17:14] I moved to adjourn.

[17:16] All right, in a second.

[17:17] I'll second.

[17:17] Okay.

[17:18] Linda seconds.

[17:20] Oh, third.

[17:21] Oh, my favorite.

[17:24] All the favorite.

[17:26] I think the third takes care of that.

[17:30] I don't know.

[17:31] Save.

[17:32] That'd be official.

[17:35] All right.

[17:36] Let me turn this off.
