» or July, I'm sorry. July.
[clears throat] I make a motion to

00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:11,320
» All in favor?
>> Yes.

11
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,320
» Yes. It's approved unanimously.

12
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:20,880
» A motion to approve any and all invoices
received by township treasur for the

13
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:24,560
month of July
2026.

14
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,439
» Is there a motion for that?
>> I'll make a motion.

15
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,040
» Is there a second?
>> I'll second it.

16
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:34,759
» All in favor?
>> Yes. Yes.

17
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:43,560
» I'm not going to agree. something I
can't see.

18
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,560
» Okay. Well, it's approved.

19
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:57,439
» Old business grant update. Say it pen
and harshman.

20
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,680
» You want us
speaking on that?

21
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:06,159
» I've been working on grants again.
And this is the young lady from

22
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,360
Hartsman's group.
and she's been trying pretty hard. We

23
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:17,360
got a grant going in for My Fire's
Bridge. Uh there was a fire back here

24
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:23,120
over the winter time, I believe it was.
And the fire department said that they

25
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:28,480
didn't trust the bridge with their fire
trucks going across it. So, we have

26
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:34,319
looking at it. We're applying for a
grant to get that bridge replaced or

27
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:39,599
repaired or whatever it may need.
I also been talking to Fate Pen, which

28
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:44,080
is another grant writer, because I feel
as many grants as I can get for our

29
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:50,319
township is what my job was to do when I
come here. So, I'm talking to them. I'm

30
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:54,239
going to continue pushing over here. We
are trying to find some money to build a

31
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:58,879
salt shed. We really need to get the
salt out of our building. We got some

32
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:07,280
roofs that need worked on,
but grants only go so fast. So,

33
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,480
That's about the best I got on that.
>> I think we ought to hire an inspector to

34
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:15,080
inspect that bridge down there before
there's any money spent for a bridge.

35
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:27,120
» Yeah, it's off the dark road.
>> We like to call in on the grant

36
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:30,720
situation. We got to wait till the end.
>> No, you can you can call

37
00:03:29,602 --> 00:03:34,319
[clears throat] back in November when I
was up here and talked to you. After the

38
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:41,040
first year, you're going to work on
grants for Tailoo. What's up with that?

39
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:44,720
» I've had the people all over every road
and they tell me the only project that

40
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:50,080
they got right now that they can help me
with is Myers Bridge.

41
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:55,680
» And why is that?
>> Because the other one, Taylor Road, is

42
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,680
supposed to be maintenance. They said,
>> "Well, how did they fix all the other

43
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:04,239
grants for
>> I didn't know they got grants for all?"

44
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:11,280
» Well, they spent
ungodly weeks and months down there at

45
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:15,920
Ramat a couple years ago.
>> Oh, yeah. They got that and that put a

46
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:19,680
big sore thumb in with the conservity.
We were very lucky to get them to come

47
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:25,520
back and help us with the Beaver Creek
project because they that

48
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,600
» went terribly wrong down there. They
misspent the money. They misdone the

49
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:34,320
work. They ended up we ended up getting
$110,000 fine on our liquid fuels from

50
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,720
the way they misspent the money. So, the
conservity did not want to come back in

51
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:43,520
and help us with any roads. This Beaver
Creek project is going to be an

52
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:47,680
important project. If it goes smoothly,
I think we can get the conservity to

53
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:51,600
work with us again. If it doesn't go
smoothly and we get people in there

54
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:55,040
that's trying to tell the conservity
what to do, we're going to be in

55
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:59,840
trouble. The conservity is the one that
has the money. They're the ones paying

56
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:05,680
for it. We got to do what they tell us
to do.

57
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:11,039
I mean, if anybody knows anything about
Ramat and Fire Tower Bridge, they know

58
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:16,120
for years that that bridge was default.
It's still in default. They're still

59
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:16,120
being bought for.

60
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,240
» So, in other words, there's no chance of
that.

61
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:27,280
» I'm not saying there's no chance. I work
every month chasing grants. So, I'm not

62
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:32,160
saying there's no chance. I I'm on the
road a lot in a month's time for the

63
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,160
township trying to find money for the
township.

64
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,639
I don't know what anybody else is doing,
but I know I do it and I personally do

65
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:47,440
it. I personally pay for the gas. I
personally pay for the car. I personally

66
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:52,320
pay for everything. I take nothing to
try to get to the township.

67
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,479
That's all I do.
>> You're still looking for that money

68
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,000
tree,
>> huh?

69
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,360
» You're still looking for that money
tree.

70
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:03,919
» I'm looking for the money tree.
>> No, it's not out. Well, I guess it could

71
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:10,400
be out there, but it's not my backyard.
>> Don't mud pipe. [laughter]

72
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:15,919
» But I am after grants. I do take them up
there because Taylor Hill, there's three

73
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:21,600
or four hills in my opinion that need
addressed and needs fixed somehow.

74
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:25,759
» Well, right now our road fixer is
Robson. He bought a piece of equipment.

75
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:31,600
He runs up and down that hill.
>> It's like, you know,

76
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,080
» like a super highway.
>> Yeah.

77
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,280
» Not so much.
>> He does a good job.

78
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:40,639
» He's a fanatical.
>> You do a good job, too.

79
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:46,919
Thank you.
>> You walk the walk. Any other questions

80
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,919
on the grants?

81
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:57,600
» Beaver Creek project.
It was delayed from Monday to

82
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:01,280
I think Thursday.
>> Was it

83
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:04,800
» the 6th or 7th?
>> They didn't know. The bridge crew still

84
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:09,199
had to get their machines up. So that's
what it was between the bridge crew and

85
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:14,000
conservity when they were having it
delivered and last time I count.

86
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:18,479
» Yeah. Bridge. So on the
>> So the county's doing the bridge for

87
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:22,880
free. They're doing the labor for free.
>> So we've talked the bridge crew in to do

88
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:28,080
the labor for free. The conservatives
giving us the money. So hopefully this

89
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:32,560
project goes real smooth. So next time
we need money maybe for Taylor Road or

90
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:38,160
another road, the conservity will look
at us again and take us seriously.

91
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:43,599
» So on that project I timed it. I went 35
miles an hour. It takes you an extra

92
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:47,840
minute and a half to go 30 35 miles an
hour down there. I hope that we tell the

93
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:51,840
trucks as much as possible, stay in the
middle of that road because we're going

94
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:58,000
to destroy. There's no burns at all.
There's 6 in of drop off. If my car goes

95
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:01,599
off and I ruin the hole underneath,
that's how bad that road is right now.

96
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:06,639
So if these trucks hold out of weights
running the side of the road, you're

97
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:11,599
going to have another problem fixing the
road. So if we can talk to the trucking

98
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:17,440
companies to try and go slow, it only
takes an extra couple minutes

99
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:20,879
and run the middle of the road.
I don't know how many trucks will be

100
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,720
coming in and out right now. I mean, the
bridge is going to be delivered and it

101
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,960
has to be put together.
Then I'm sure after that there'll be

102
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:34,320
trucks either of stone or concrete or
something, but I don't know.

103
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:37,919
» Well, what's a triacial haul? 30 ton.
>> That's a lot of weight. When you got a 6

104
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,320
in drop off and you're right along the
edge of the road,

105
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:46,440
the road's still in decent shape. I hate
to see it.

106
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:52,120
» I will try to voice an opinion to the
truck driver.

107
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,920
Any other questions on the Beaver Creek
project

108
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:04,240
torn chipping of roads?
>> Got delayed too.

109
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,040
» That was supposed to start Monday, but
it was supposed to rain all this week. I

110
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:13,920
think they delayed it also.
>> They got tied up. I like to tell you

111
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:18,519
county somewhere up there. So, they're
tied up today because of the weather.

112
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:27,040
Now they're talking possibly Wednesday
or Thursday. I don't It rained again

113
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,920
yesterday and today so
back up any further

114
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:38,880
» purchaser from Cory Kquet.
>> That was during your special meeting for

115
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,640
the opening of that.
>> Yes.

116
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,640
» Was that last week?
>> Friday.

117
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,680
» It's about time. It's only years later.

118
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:03,720
» Uh, Bradic, Flat Rock, Clover Top, and

New business

>> Is there a motion to approve the

00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,760
resolution?

124
00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:39,360
» Make a motion.
>> I'll make a motion to approve.

125
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,640
» Is there a second?
>> I'll second.

126
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,320
» All in favor?
>> Yes.

127
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:51,560
» Yes. It's a grant. I mean, how can you
go wrong?

128

» It carries.

>> I'll second.

136
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:45,040
» Oh, Rob, did you make the motion?
>> Make a motion.

137
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:50,720
» Okay. Seconded by Larry. All in favor?
>> Yes.

138
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:55,440
» All that does is just
move this up in the modern times.

139
00:11:52,320 --> 00:12:01,040
Instead of sending out checks by mail,
if we can pay it AC or whatever, we do

140
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:10,240
it that way. You save whatever a stamp
cost now. Stamp and envel each adds up.

141
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:15,839
Make a motion to approve
building permit administration fees.

142
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:21,760
» Yeah. So the the purpose of that is we
already have a building permit fee that

143
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:29,760
it already exists on the books and um
sometimes there are legal fees questions

144
00:12:24,959 --> 00:12:36,079
about the property building code um or
something that involves my time or Sue's

145
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:41,839
time um and that's all administrative
work. And so what this would be would be

146
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:49,279
um uh since we're since Harshman's
already collecting um that permit fee,

147
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:54,560
we would be collecting a very small um
10%age of that fee. It would come to us

148
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:58,320
directly. That's it%
>> of the original fee.

149
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:04,240
» Uhhuh. That's it.
>> So we're not raising this and

150
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:08,959
at this point we got so many people out
of violation. How do we

151
00:13:06,959 --> 00:13:12,399
tell anybody they have to buy a building
>> because we have a building permit

152
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,000
ordinance already,
>> right? But what do we do with the people

153
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:20,399
in violation?
>> That's up to the building code inspector

154
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,760
to go out and say you're not in
violation or you are or you're not in

155
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:30,000
violation.
All this does is help pay for Sue's time

156
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:34,160
and because the full fee would go to
Harshman. We would we're not collecting

157
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:39,120
anything from that right now. So they're
only collecting a small portion of that

158
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:45,279
» and it does not raise any fees to
anybody

159
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:50,480
» and Harshman's willing to release 10% to
us

160
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,200
» for no for so they're going to take 10%
off what they make

161
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:04,000
» done with that.
>> Yep. Is there a motion for that?

162
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:07,360
» I made a motion to approve it. Is there
a second?

163
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:11,440
» Agree.
>> So Steve seconds it all in favor.

164
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:16,120
» Yes.
>> Yes.

165
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,120
» It passes.

166
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:26,000
» Make a motion to approve amendments to
trash ordinance.

167
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:30,240
» So um I I know we were talking about and
and we're not ready to readvertise this

168
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:35,040
yet, but I know we were talking about a
couple of different things that we

169
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:40,000
wouldn't include in it. And I know Rob,
you had a question about um to be able

170
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:44,320
to
essentially charge some sort of a late

171
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:49,440
fee and then be able to take them to the
map. And I think looking at other

172
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:54,800
municipalities that have a trash
ordinance that they actually collect on,

173
00:14:52,160 --> 00:15:01,279
it would be something like if you're
late, it would be $20 for that month

174
00:14:58,079 --> 00:15:06,560
plus an extra 2% on that invoice going
forward. So that's that's pretty

175
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:10,160
customary because then you actually have
some way of, you know, saying, "Hey,

176
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,079
look, you're you're in acrewing a
penalty here if you're not going to be

177
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,680
paying on time." So that's a pretty
standard rate. And I wanted to see if

178
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:22,399
that's something that the majority of
the supervisors would would approve for

179
00:15:20,079 --> 00:15:28,800
me to put in there. And then I know that
there were some questions about whether

180
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:35,040
an apartment building has um multiple
tenants. if a dumpster was sufficient

181
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:39,199
for the whole building or whether each
individual needed to be paying.

182
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,600
» Each individual needs to be paying.
>> Yes, they do.

183
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:46,079
» So, I'm I need to get
>> So, each business and resident. So,

184
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,959
you're going to you got to pay for your
business and your residential state.

185
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:51,839
» Buy,
>> huh? No, you're not combined. Oh, yeah.

186
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:54,480
» Because an apartment building wouldn't
be on.

187
00:15:53,199 --> 00:15:58,320
» I'm not going to argue with you.
>> Yeah. Because you go to a restaurant or

188
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:03,600
any kind of food place or any kind of
gas station has dumpsters. So they would

189
00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:07,759
pay for a dumpster fee. You're just
trying to make somebody pay for a

190
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,399
dumpster fee that has an apartment.
>> And you won't want to pay residential

191
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,240
and your business.
>> I don't bring any trash here from my

192
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:17,360
business. It's it's from my house.
Period.

193
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:21,279
» You got to have trash from your business
here.

194
00:16:19,839 --> 00:16:26,320
» I I don't agree with that.
>> So I'm I'm trying to get I'm just trying

195
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:30,560
to consensus on what you guys want to do
about that. I know that has been talked

196
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:34,560
about previously
um as to what we were doing with it.

197
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,199
Municipalities do it differently. So,
you guys tell me.

198
00:16:35,519 --> 00:16:43,759
» I thought the biggest concern was
somebody I think it was the couple the

199
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,160
supervisor before read in there or
something and everybody was all upset

200
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,360
about that.
>> Well, that's true. That's true. But I

201
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:57,040
wanted it was it was actually unclear in
the ordinance as to whether a if you

202
00:16:54,959 --> 00:17:01,199
owned an apartment building or you owned
something that was multiple like if you

203
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:05,679
had some sort of a business that also
had tenants upstairs or something who

204
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,799
had to pay whether it was one account or
was it multiple accounts?

205
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:11,839
» Multiple accounts. All tenants need to
pay.

206
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,360
» It'd be the same thing with the business
and their

207
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:18,559
» whatever. But we ain't going to like
your apartment buildings. You're not

208
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,439
going to set a dumpster there and you
collect all the tendants money and you

209
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:25,120
pay for a dumpster.
>> Same way that like Greg Upole down

210
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:27,839
there, he can't do it with his apartment
buildings. The same [clears throat]

211
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,720
thing with his plaza. He would have to
pay separately.

212
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,080
» Everybody needs to pay a garbage bill.
>> So, that's what you're saying then,

213
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,600
right?
>> Yep. Every time.

214
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:41,120
» All right. So, I'm going to present
those changes to you guys for the next

215
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:45,919
» I don't know if I agree with those
changes. I think the public needs to see

216
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:50,240
those changes because
like I said, now you're talking you got

217
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:53,679
all these places that has dumpsters that
can't have dumpsters anymore.

218
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,120
» Okay. [snorts] Well, I got to take
guidance from you guys. So, you tell me

219
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,960
what you want to do.
>> I think the public should have an

220
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:05,600
opinion on that.
>> What do you people think? All tenants

221
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:09,360
ought to pay or just one
>> I think everybody should pay.

222
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:13,280
» Everybody has garbage. Let's face it. Is
this going to make a difference as far

223
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:18,400
as the dump uh the garbage part of the
business making some money where we can

224
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:22,320
just hire a crew for garbage and and now
because you guys only work four days.

225
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:26,720
You got two days in garbage. That's two
days on the roads. And I think our roads

226
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:30,400
need more than just two days. I mean,
don't you guys agree?

227
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:34,240
» You're wasting two days on you also got
to put on there, David, if you're doing

228
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:38,559
that changing the rules, they have to
buy the contracts out of the people's

229
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:42,559
contracted out.
I have a contract on my dumpster and I

230
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,000
was told to do that by the previous
supervisors.

231
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,559
» Okay.
>> So, I I followed the rules. If we want

232
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,720
to change the rules, the township should
be responsible for buying out the

233
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,919
contract.
>> But you could have a dumpster there and

234
00:18:51,919 --> 00:18:58,240
steal all tendants paying.
>> They just put a garbage in the dumpster,

235
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:02,400
right?
>> That's what Danny Bird does. Danny Bird

236
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:06,240
Danny Bird here today.
>> Danny, your tenants pay to put their

237
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:10,720
garbage in your dumpster, right?
>> Yes, he do.

238
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,960
» Okay. Each account pays the township or
they pay

239
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:15,440
» each account pays.
>> So do you pay for a dumpster or each

240
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,679
account?
>> I pay for each account.

241
00:19:17,679 --> 00:19:24,000
» I pay for each account.
>> Go ahead, Michelle.

242
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:31,840
» I just have a question. How do you even
begin to track tenants of apartment

243
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:39,280
complexes to be able to charge them? And
I'm just thinking like even when you're

244
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:44,240
thinking per capita tax tenant who lives
in an apartment should pay a per capita

245
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:49,440
tax, they should pay it. It's for the
privilege of living in Fyet County or in

246
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:54,640
Uniontown school district. We don't have
one. It's a township. But how do you

247
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:58,960
even begin to know who all resides where
is the

248
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:04,400
property owner to furnish the names of
the tenants or the property owner

249
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:10,880
collecting that? Like Dan just said, I I
was just trying to understand it.

250
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:14,240
Trash is leanable to the property owner.
Trash is never leanable to the landlord

251
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,600
or
>> to the tenant.

252
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:21,039
» To the tenant.
>> It's always leanable to the landlord.

253
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:26,000
Water is always leanable to the property
owner.

254
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:31,280
Trash, water, and if you got public
sewage, public sewage.

255
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,280
Electric and cable, that's the tenants
problem.

256
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,240
Basically

257
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,080
back out

258
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,760
of the city

259
00:20:55,679 --> 00:21:04,720
wants the
property wants to be responsible for

260
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,720
attendance water bill or sewer bill.

261
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,880
We're going on to the next one.

262
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:32,384
» Motion to approve to give Keith Myra an
old girl that is in the woods.

263
00:21:30,364 --> 00:21:32,384
[laughter]

264
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:42,080
The one guy who works here wants an old
barrel that's in the roads. So

265
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:45,600
we we had problems with stuff coming up
missing. Scrap being taken, this being

266
00:21:44,159 --> 00:21:51,679
taken. Nothing should be taken out of
this township unless all three

267
00:21:48,159 --> 00:21:56,640
supervisors know and on it or anything.
No scrap, no tires, no no nothing.

268
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:00,559
Nothing should go out of here. If he
wants an old blue barrel that's probably

269
00:21:58,159 --> 00:22:04,640
going to cost us money to get rid of, I
don't have any problems with that. that

270
00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:10,080
I think all three of us should know.
>> I say give it to

271
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:15,440
» Okay. So, is there a motion to give this
barrel to

272
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,440
» Is it just a 55gallon barrel or what is
it?

273
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:23,440
» Do you have any idea?
>> It's just a blue plastic

274
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:26,320
» junk.
I make a motion to give it to I'll

275
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,799
second it.
>> All in favor?

276
00:22:27,679 --> 00:22:32,080
» Yes.
>> Yes.

277
00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:35,760
» No, carries.
Miss Engineer, you get to talk.

278
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,799
» Oh, no.
>> Here's the problem. I'm not an engineer.

279
00:22:38,485 --> 00:22:42,559
[laughter]
>> It's okay then. You're you're redundant,

280
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:46,799
right?
>> Um I brought this engineers report on

281
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,320
behalf of Jamie. He's on vacation this
week. Much deserved.

282
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:54,000
» Um
>> I can't truly speak to many of these

283
00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:57,840
items, but um I know like the Beaver
Creek um project was on there and we

284
00:22:56,159 --> 00:23:02,480
received that email update which you all
were aware of. um code enforcement

285
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:07,305
zoning. Brandy sent an individual update
as well for you all to go through if you

286
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:12,320
want me to read it aloud. I'm okay.
[laughter]

287
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:16,240
» Um the multimodal grant which um we are
working on was already you approved the

288
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:22,480
resolution tonight. That's the grant for
MyersBridge. Um engineer Rich Rick Rich

289
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:26,400
Rush came out and looked at it and
recommended that was a project that was

290
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,960
most likely to be funded through this
program. Um, so that's the one that we

291
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:34,880
recommended you go for. Um, I did want
to speak of as the grant writer planner

292
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:38,080
at Harshman. Um, I know that you all
were uh interested in looking at your

293
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:42,960
salo and zoning and kind of
comprehensive plan update.

294
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:45,919
» I didn't
um I did want to bring you all to your

295
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:51,039
attention. So, I've been talking with
Stephanie at DCED who's in charge of the

296
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:55,520
MAP program. Um, apparently you have an
outstanding grant for um a MAP program

297
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,960
grant. So, this would be to help with
your zoning and code. Um,

298
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,080
» we've been trying for a couple years to
get that.

299
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,960
» We have an outstanding like we actually
received money.

300
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:06,880
» No, no, no. The grant is pending. We're
waiting to

301
00:24:05,679 --> 00:24:09,600
» So, we have to wait and see.
>> Yes.

302
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:14,080
» Okay. The in talking with Stephanie, we
have a pretty good relationship. Um,

303
00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:18,400
unfortunately, because no match was um
provided, she's not very optimistic that

304
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,640
it'll get approved this round, but does
think that it's a very good project that

305
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:28,559
we should continue pursuing. um
September 1st is the next deadline for

306
00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:32,720
this program and she says that with um
you know with a match commitment that

307
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:38,080
would be very competitive. The other
option to pursue um funding or in this

308
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:42,480
case it's technical assistance through
the state to get some of your zoning and

309
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:46,960
comprehensive plan or uh zoning and
sawdo stuff updated would be through a

310
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:51,520
technical assistance program where they
actually give you something like 500

311
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,360
free hours to help you work through that
process. It does take some buyin

312
00:24:53,520 --> 00:25:00,080
obviously from the municipality and
ultimately will need um help enlisted

313
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,279
from the solicitor or from your code and
zoning officer to get that over the

314
00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:07,360
finish line. They won't actually write
the code for you. But those are two

315
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,720
really valid programs that the state is
really interested in seeing you put in

316
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:15,600
an application for or another
application for and kind of pursuing. Um

317
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,640
I have Stephanie at the uh state ready
to talk with you guys if you're

318
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,720
interested in sitting down and kind of
learning about the difference between

319
00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:27,120
the two um and figing out which is the
best option for you guys to um move

320
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:30,480
forward. There's multiple opportunities
every year for both of these programs.

321
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:34,159
So, it's not like one and done. Um
there's another opportunity in April if

322
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:40,000
you want to work with her through the
process a little more in depth.

323
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:43,440
Um all the inactive and pending projects
I think are pretty much the same. I know

324
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:48,159
Rich came out and looked at some other
road projects that we're going to

325
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:52,159
recommend you probably submit to DGBR um
once the Beaver Creek project is over.

326
00:25:50,159 --> 00:25:56,080
And so, um, we kind of have a bunch of
projects on your wish list from, um,

327
00:25:54,080 --> 00:26:01,039
Rich being able to get out here and see.
And, um, we're going to recommend the

328
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:03,760
best funding source that we believe for
each of those projects as they keep

329
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:09,600
coming up. And,
>> and the DGL program is one of the

330
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:12,240
programs for Taylor Road possible if we
can get it to go through. But,

331
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:15,600
» I was just wondering because it's been
like eight or nine months, I've heard

332
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:20,000
nothing.
>> Well, we got to make sure that Beaver

333
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:25,120
Creek goes smooth.
and we can't we can't submit another one

334
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:31,360
until we've completed this program and
it's just taking quite some time to get

335
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:35,679
done just is
>> and the DJVR program through the um

336
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:41,360
county conservation district is a
rolling application. So, um as soon as

337
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:45,200
Beaver Creek is wrapped up, we can go
ahead and submit the next round. But um

338
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,400
obviously they want to see that we
treated their money well the first time.

339
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,120
So what's important?
>> You already got [clears throat]

340
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,960
all I needed from you.
>> That's it.

341
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:02,440
» I like to speak out.
>> I have a question.

342
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:08,480
» Watching the video of the meeting last
week because I couldn't get up there and

343
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:12,240
there was a I think you said that with
these lawsuits or something going on

344
00:27:10,159 --> 00:27:16,080
that the township is going to have to
start paying for these suits. Is there

345
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:20,960
going to be any recourse for us to
counter suit if these people lose these

346
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:24,559
uh lawsuits? I mean, can anybody just
sue the township and then if they lose

347
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:28,080
say, "Oh, okay. My bad."
>> Well, right now there's only one pending

348
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:33,679
lawsuit
against the township and it's Steven

349
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:38,480
Humber versus Henry Township and all the
other cost 30 $50,000. This is still

350
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,880
lawsuit.
>> Where's our reports to go to recoup the

351
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:46,000
money? If we got to keep spending 50,000
or paying insurance, rates go up to

352
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:51,520
defend lawsuits.
>> So if if the court believes that the

353
00:27:48,720 --> 00:28:00,399
lawsuit was defeatious or was out lacks
any merit, they could award attorneys

354
00:27:55,360 --> 00:28:04,159
in our favor if we want.
>> But that still doesn't answer my

355
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:08,399
question. If the township themselves
want to go after

356
00:28:05,919 --> 00:28:13,600
» they're with what a judge says.
>> Okay. So if the judge said no, this is

357
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:20,320
the way it works in the United States.
Anybody can sue any anything any entity

358
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:24,960
or whatever at any time. And there is no
unless you have some sort of a contract

359
00:28:22,159 --> 00:28:28,559
or by statute said you can recover
attorney's fees, you can't recover

360
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:33,760
attorneys.
So all of the money that has been spent

361
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:40,320
would not be recovered
by law.

362
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:46,159
» So you can just have are taking it to
>> I I am simply just acting in the role of

363
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:52,480
a solicitor. The We have an insurance
company that has hired insurance defense

364
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:58,720
council to defend us, but they have
already spent over $50,000 defending

365
00:28:55,919 --> 00:29:04,399
this suit. And now because of our
policy, that limit has expired. We've

366
00:29:01,679 --> 00:29:09,640
hit the cap. So now the taxpayers will
have to pick up the dime.

367
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,640
Anybody

368
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:21,520
else to speak out?
>> Yeah, I want to say thanks to J for what

369
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:26,840
putting the culpr down there going to do
hopefully a good job and really

370
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,840
fantastic.

371
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:38,679
» That's it.
>> That's it.

372
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,679
» M to adjourn. Motion to

373
00:29:40,159 --> 00:29:43,159
» make

374
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,640
all in favor.
