[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.
