[0:04] All right. Chair Heath to confirm that today's meeting is properly given notice.

[0:09] Yes.

[0:10] Thank you. Roll call. Four board members are here tonight.

[0:16] Trustee Atoma is not. We have our village attorney, all the management team,

[0:22] and a representative from MVA, Sean Hoover.

[0:26] Do we have a motion to approve the meeting minutes of August 4th?

[0:32] I make a motion to approve the minutes, August 4th of 26.

[0:36] A motion from Shen.

[0:39] Do I have a second? Are there any questions on the minutes?

[0:47] No, none on this.

[0:48] All in favor say "aye."

[0:50] Aye.

[0:51] Opposed? Carried. The resolution to approve the meeting minutes of August 13th.

[0:58] I'm going to stay on those. I wasn't there.

[1:01] Sorry, chair, you're going to say?

[1:03] Yeah, I was not at that one.

[1:05] I'll make the motion.

[1:07] I'll second.

[1:08] Second. Do we have a question? Chris?

[1:10] Oh, actually. Hold on one

[1:15] second. I'm sorry.

[1:28] All set? Yeah, it's the ambulance one.

[1:31] The only thing that I wanted to point out about the ambulance one is that Jeannie

[1:35] had said the

[1:38] article about the ALS and BLS, and I wonder if she mentioned that she

[1:44] was fine to get one resident signed story. That wasn't the case.

[1:50] I don't know what she had to say about that.

[1:53] For-

[1:54] Brian

[1:55] ... it was Lydia Burr article.

[1:58] She noted the ALS and ambulance for BLS.

[2:01] I think that's where Jeannie-

[2:03] It was the

[2:03] ... offered her-

[2:04] And she did send them, so I don't know who she's talking about that was or not.

[2:09] That's why I'm like, do we have a second set or anything?

[2:12] Yeah, at home.

[2:13] For sure.

[2:14] Yeah.

[2:15] Just Trustee Patella followed up with that

[2:20] article.

[2:23] We don't have the original, just what's discussed.

[2:26] I know. It's not material to me. I just wrote it in the book. Thank you.

[2:32] So for that resolution to include the addition.

[2:37] Okay. Any other questions? All in favor say "aye."

[2:41] Aye.

[2:41] All those opposed? Motion carried. Sharing group.

[2:46] Approval of vouchers.

[2:49] Make a motion to approve the September vouchers.

[2:55] Trust has been eyed to the board.

[2:57] I'll second.

[3:01] Michelle.

[3:02] Excuse me.

[3:04] For the meeting that we had this morning, we are currently receiving an

[3:10] online auction proposal for a shed for the community center, which is budgeted.

[3:16] And the auction ads this evening are very well-built quality sheds.

[3:21] In addition to the community's build, we would like to either add this in or a

[3:27] separate resolution. The bidding ends, right, at 8:00 PM and is obviously being

[3:33] added up to $1,200 if we can even obtain the shed.

[3:37] We feel the value of the shed is probably $2,000, but we would like

[3:42] 1,200.

[3:43] Up to 1,200.

[3:43] Yeah.

[3:44] They do charge 12.7 buyers fee.

[3:50] So for, Chris, the last three or four years, we've been talking about a shed.

[3:56] Currently, it's stored in our snowblower and f*****g scrub salt in the elevator

[4:01] shafts outside. And our building enforcer, previous building enforcer, always done

[4:06] this. Yeah. Maybe Ron too. Maybe- ... something too.

[4:11] I think he's our tool company.

[4:13] Oh, no it is. So-

[4:14] Yeah. It makes the sign here, the mechanical equipment in the elevator bottom

[4:18] building.

[4:19] Yeah, it's powered.

[4:21] Yeah.

[4:22] Yeah. So that's what-

[4:23] Five meters

[4:24] ... so I'll make a resolution.

[4:26] I think we know how much sheds are.

[4:28] Yeah. I'll make a resolution to allow the village deputy, deputy superintendant,

[4:34] to participate in an online auction,

[4:38] to secure a shed, not exceeding $1,200.

[4:42] Right now it's at $540.

[4:45] So do you want to go 1,200 plus the admin fee? Or we do that?

[4:50] Sure.

[4:51] So then you don't get the big, ol'-

[4:53] You don't have to-

[4:54] $1,087 receipt that time.

[4:57] So $1,200 plus the-

[5:01] We can't quote-

[5:02] Is someone watching that for you, Dan?

[5:03] I am. I'm-

[5:04] Yeah.

[5:04] It closes at 8:30, so I got 25.

[5:07] Yeah. Eight o'clock, he's going to start.

[5:10] So I'll make that resolution.

[5:11] Nice.

[5:11] That would be included in the... Oh, for sure.

[5:14] With the vouchers.

[5:15] With the add-on tonight.

[5:16] How was it again?

[5:17] It would depend on what their payment cycle is.

[5:21] Okay. Sure. Auction cycle.

[5:23] Yeah. Yeah. Whatever-

[5:25] I second

[5:26] ... so the motion was to allow Dan to participate in an auction during the meeting.

[5:32] Any other questions?

[5:33] No.

[5:33] All in favor say "aye."

[5:38] Aye.

[5:38] All right.

[5:38] Hopefully it's quiet.

[5:40] Dan, do you want us to hold off on...

[5:43] I'm happy to hear anything.

[5:45] Um, I also... Well, we might not all be here at 8:30, but you can still sign in and

[5:50] you can answer the app.

[5:52] All right.

[5:52] And I can show you that again tomorrow to-

[5:56] Or we can do a separate resolution.

[5:57] That's the other option, just do a separate resolution.

[6:01] That included?

[6:02] Well, that's what I

[6:05] did. It's up to... It's went up to 1,200 plus the admin fees.

[6:07] Plus fees.

[6:08] Right? Okay, so the vouchers is one resolution, this would be a second.

[6:12] All right.

[6:12] A stand-alone from president.

[6:15] I'll make the motion to approve the vouchers as presented currently.

[6:20] I second.

[6:21] Second. Questions about the vouchers?

[6:23] All in favor say "aye."

[6:25] Aye.

[6:25] Opposed? Carried. All right,

[6:27] I've got that. Certainly. Okay. Is there anybody from

[6:33] the public who would like to address the village board?

[6:37] Please state your name, your address, and just keep an eye on the time.

[6:43] Michelle.

[6:45] Okay. 315 Barbecue Drive. I just have a quick...

[6:48] I noticed on Hilton's site on Facebook that there was a person on Dunbar

[6:54] Road who's promoting a daycare. And I was just wondering,

[7:00] does daycares have to register with the village?

[7:04] Well, first it's Dunbar Road goes town to village.

[7:06] So do you have any specific address?

[7:09] She didn't give me one.

[7:10] So that would make the biggest difference obviously-

[7:11] Because I said-

[7:12] ... because that would be either town or village

[7:13] ... but do they have to register? It's a ranch.

[7:19] Yeah.

[7:19] Yeah, we have to know about those facilities.

[7:21] A lot of them are controlled by the state, but we still go in and do inspections,

[7:25] and they very much look at our notes and stuff for these inspections.

[7:30] Do we have any registered residential daycares?

[7:34] There's a couple in the village, I believe. Uh.

[7:38] Does that sound familiar? Because I mean, she just posted on the Hilton site today,

[7:42] and I said, because of course, no address indicated.

[7:47] Yeah.

[7:47] It tells you all about six weeks to five years old-

[7:51] Yeah

[7:51] ... and all this stuff.

[7:53] Yeah, we-

[7:53] And sent a picture.

[7:54] That's not familiar to me, but we can check it out.

[7:57] I think you would have to get a last name, and then we'd have to cross-reference.

[8:00] Right.

[8:01] Like if it... Depending on, I mean, depending on the person that's open to it, and

[8:06] then I can look it up at least in our database if it's

[8:12] a lunch, because we don't want them.

[8:16] I mean, most of Dunbar, I would say, is town.

[8:21] About 60. I mean, it's just a small lane.

[8:24] Yeah.

[8:24] Not big.

[8:25] Yeah, there's not a lot.

[8:27] Does Utopia sound right?

[8:31] I mean, I just did it real quick there.

[8:33] Do you know, it looks like it's on the north side of Dunbar, close to Town Line

[8:37] Road.

[8:38] Okay.

[8:38] Because it didn't specify. Because I said, "Where are you located?" And they

[8:44] didn't say.

[8:46] It's not paying attention.

[8:47] That's a good question. Yeah.

[8:52] It's probably not us, so that would be the town.

[8:56] Okay.

[8:57] Anything else?

[8:57] As long as I come in. Okay. No. So you've discussed enough.

[9:02] Anybody else from the public want to address the village board tonight?

[9:07] All right. I'll close this part of the book down.

[9:11] Moving on to visiting days and reports. Grace?

[9:14] Sure. Thank you. Sorry, I missed the last meeting, these two meetings.

[9:20] It's been a busy summer.

[9:23] I just wanted to get some stats from the library.

[9:25] Our door count for July was 3,879. Oh, I'm sorry, August, not July.

[9:31] Today's September 1st. August, 3,879.

[9:38] Some program highlights, we had Rock Diggers come and do a metal detecting program,

[9:42] which was really cool. We had 18 adults for that.

[9:46] So they showed off things that they have found locally, and dog tags and coins, and

[9:52] a lot of cool stuff. We also had our gazebo story times here outside the

[9:58] community center. So thank you for the use of that space.

[10:03] Summer reading is over. I don't have all of our stats compiled for that yet, but we

[10:07] did see some extended school year student classes over the summer too, so we're

[10:12] always doing outreach with the schooling during the summer.

[10:16] I just wanted to mention a couple of upcoming fall America 250

[10:22] events that we have going on at the library.

[10:24] Actually, tonight right now, we have Voice in the Constitution, so that's a

[10:28] Constitution read-aloud, so there's people over there now.

[10:31] Upcoming in September, we have American Tradition Songs of Provincial Hope.

[10:36] That's a music program. And Amanda Dudley from the Historical Society is

[10:41] presenting on preserving Carmel Cemetery. So we have a lot of cool stuff coming up.

[10:46] In conjunction with the Apple Trail, on September 26th, we're hosting a fall

[10:51] festival in the library, and then we're open to that local

[10:57] business, local resources,

[11:01] participation for that. So that's all ages.

[11:04] We have things for adults, kids, teens, different activities throughout the

[11:08] library. So even though summer reading is over, September is quite busy.

[11:15] But I'll have a more detailed circuit of all of that next month.

[11:20] I also wanted to give a thank you to Dan. He's been very responsive.

[11:24] We are talking about the car show and the Village Rock coming over to block off the

[11:29] spots for us because we're open that day.

[11:32] And just for letting us know about all the gating and stuff going on behind our

[11:36] building. So that's why I'm calling you.

[11:39] Great. Pleasure. Todd, any update from the town? Back in our report.

[11:47] We're working on the solar, so we can update that. Parking path, not much going on.

[11:53] Thanks. Recreation report, Amanda?

[11:57] Yeah. Tom sent an email. In his absence, he is at a conference, I believe,

[12:03] Florida.

[12:06] Just recapping the

[12:08] Movie Under the Stars, which was packed. That was on August 21st.

[12:12] And then upcoming events in the park is going to be the Bark in the Park Wellness

[12:16] Fest. That's on September 13th. Make a Difference Day, he's asking in--

[12:22] or Saturday, October 24th. His ask is hoping the village will once again

[12:27] participate with that electronic recycling, provide potential assistance.

[12:33] I don't know if you guys knew, but Sun King moved out of Rockford and are now on

[12:37] the east side. So trying to recycle things is a little bit more difficult.

[12:42] Halloween celebration, Saturday, October 31st.

[12:45] Friends and Family Movie Night, November 13th.

[12:48] And then that Holiday on Main, which we need help for, obviously, is Saturday,

[12:53] December 12th. Our fall brochure just went out to the

[12:58] public yesterday.

[13:02] The senior trips, which we talked to you guys about, trying to get the bus down,

[13:07] the town hall's been working out great.

[13:10] Everyone's been showing up there.

[13:12] I know we packed the parking lot here on senior trip days, and that was kind of a

[13:17] hindrance for people that needed to come in and do business.

[13:21] Park use is crazy, and Ryan is handling all that now.

[13:25] And if you didn't know that the Carmel splash pad opened, that opened up

[13:30] two weeks ago now. So that is a learning curve.

[13:37] Yeah.

[13:37] Yeah. Learning curve. But it looks great. It opened up on a not-so-nice day.

[13:42] I was there on that day with my grandson, and it's just a really nice design,

[13:48] highlights some things in Parkwood Hills as well.

[13:51] So if you haven't been there, take a peek.

[13:54] You'll see the orange

[13:56] stone fence that's there to kind of surround it right now until the infrastructure

[14:02] is completed on that, so it looks nice.

[14:05] Then last but not least, advertising for a vacant commission seat.

[14:10] We need a village representative for the Parks and Recreation Commission.

[14:16] Sherry, can I ask you a quick question about your brochure?

[14:19] Yeah.

[14:20] So that's online. Do you distribute that in print at all?

[14:22] Not yet.

[14:23] Okay. No worries.

[14:27] Sounded like the commission is making-- commission's about to have some candidates,

[14:31] so they're going to try that there.

[14:34] So get the next one on that one.

[14:37] Yeah. So it was three letters of interest he put in on the email.

[14:42] Great.

[14:44] Thank you.

[14:46] Code

[14:46] Enforcement,

[14:54] Scott?

[14:54] The Gary Sinise Foundation home, the builder came in the other day and

[15:00] spoke with me. We're supposed to have prints within the next day or two, and we

[15:06] discussed a few things. It's a 3,800 square foot home.

[15:11] Oh, wow.

[15:11] Single level, three-car garage.

[15:17] So everything's moving along quickly.

[15:21] When I get the plans, I'd like Mark to do the site plan.

[15:28] Can I just interrupt? I went over to see you, and you were on the phone, and then I

[15:32] had a meeting, so we crossed. I wanted to discuss this with you, but actually it's

[15:37] a Sean question, so I'm glad it actually is happening now.

[15:40] So we are in the process of zoning the property.

[15:44] I did email the foundation and spoke to the two representatives that I spoke-- that

[15:51] I've been working with. And they actually, they weren't in any hurry, so I thought,

[15:55] okay, we have some time. So when I came back from vacation, Amy had said that, oh,

[16:00] the contractor came in. So my question is for Sean is, even if they turn in prints,

[16:06] I mean, can the village really act on an application pending the zoning?

[16:13] Oh, well, that's almost a-

[16:17] Well, just a pick one event on just because it's not official.

[16:22] And I did-- I was very clear with the foundation saying that we have this, we're

[16:26] going to public hearing, and then file with the Secretary of State, could be

[16:32] 60 to 90 days passed. I would figure by November.

[16:35] And they said, "No problem, keep me informed." And so this was kind of surprise to

[16:41] me.

[16:41] Yeah. There's nothing that says that they can't submit

[16:44] site plan applications.

[16:45] Okay. So they don't even-

[16:47] Or just a condition. What's that?

[16:49] So they could submit it, and then they can work out all this is happening?

[16:53] 100%.

[16:53] Okay. Thanks. My question. Okay.

[16:56] There might be some loss of communication between the foundation and the builder.

[17:01] I-

[17:01] Because the builder told me he wants it enclosed before the snow flies.

[17:05] Wow.

[17:07] So that's only another two months.

[17:09] Before winter.

[17:10] Yeah.

[17:11] The difference is the property for the four towns and everyone else, it is

[17:15] officially filed and is Village Hill's property.

[17:18] As far as the annexation portion, that's good to go.

[17:22] Okay.

[17:22] Filed with the state, good to go. The second action is why we're here is just to

[17:27] get the map updated and go through the-

[17:29] And the zoning.

[17:31] And the zoning.

[17:31] Yes.

[17:31] Correct.

[17:32] Okay.

[17:32] Yeah.

[17:32] All right.

[17:33] But the operative question, though, is can the site plans be approved if the

[17:39] property has not yet been zoned?

[17:42] Correct. My gut, and not a-- that's your origin, would be no.

[17:47] Because I would think that you need to have the property zoned properly, because

[17:51] that's where we're going to judge where the variance is and how they-

[17:55] Correct

[17:56] ... lay out the property based on our zoning.

[18:01] So it looks like the builder can submit-

[18:03] Yes

[18:03] ... the application.

[18:05] Maybe they could.

[18:05] But whether any action can be taken on that application

[18:09] Yeah, you can come to a group meeting.

[18:11] Yeah. That's all.

[18:13] It's a very unique situation.

[18:15] So someone in this regards, we would have them come in as a

[18:21] pre-application discussion.

[18:23] Okay.

[18:23] Kind of just lay things out as if it was already rezoned to the R, and

[18:29] then that'll get you out of your curve.

[18:31] And we will need to circle back with that tomorrow-

[18:34] Yeah

[18:34] ... from my office, because as far as this applies, is like, I think it'll be

[18:38] October 15th.

[18:39] Yeah.

[18:42] And November, like, it's just... I know.

[18:45] And the next meeting is October 30th. I'll probably need a few variances.

[18:54] Be good.

[18:55] Yeah. My gut feeling would be to move ahead with the site plan but not submit

[19:00] it.

[19:01] Well, there's a lot of-

[19:02] Get the site plan done

[19:03] ... there's also some other things. I know we're really digressing here.

[19:06] We'll need to talk offline, but they also have to approach the village and ask for

[19:10] sewer, the utilities. They have to ask for connection to the road.

[19:14] There's a stub road.

[19:16] And then there's also going to be some easements that the village is going to

[19:19] require as well. So this is-

[19:21] Yeah

[19:22] ... this is not anywhere near shovel-ready.

[19:26] Yeah. There are easements that need be in some place.

[19:28] Yes, exactly. We'll need to touch base, Ryan.

[19:31] I can just talk to the contractor-

[19:34] Yeah, no problem

[19:34] ... because I think there's some communication lines.

[19:37] Okay. I'll try to get an answer on next question.

[19:41] Yeah, I would imagine that. I mean, there's a lot

[19:46] to this. To the plan for itself, it's going to be more than a month to look at

[19:51] this.

[19:52] Yeah.

[19:52] And the advertising and everything else.

[19:57] We're all set now?

[19:58] Yeah.

[19:58] Okay. So moving on. We had eight complaints.

[20:03] I always like to let people know how many complaints we get, because it really

[20:08] sucks up the time. You know what I mean?

[20:10] They say, "What do you do with your time?" I say, "This is what I do with it." We

[20:13] answer every complaint, unless it's so far out there that I send to you.

[20:20] I'm done.

[20:22] But every legitimate complaint gets answered with hopefully a reasonable answer.

[20:28] That's what we try to do. Jeff and I both attended this in-classroom training

[20:34] on

[20:36] fire alarms and detection systems.

[20:38] Came in very handy with the OPW project down there.

[20:41] So,

[20:43] that was very helpful. Thanks to the village for their support on that.

[20:48] We issued three permits this last month,

[20:51] seven building inspections. Talked to the

[20:56] Duncan project over there. The outside of the building is pretty much complete,

[21:02] with the exception of a few signs. Structure's done.

[21:07] Now it's being turned over to a company that installs all the internal mechanisms.

[21:12] It's a different contractor, and they are moving. They're fast.

[21:17] We should be drinking coffee in six weeks, I'm told.

[21:21] So, I mean, that's how fast they're moving. So, we'll see.

[21:25] Right now, I'm drinking McDonald's coffee, but I won't bring it.

[21:29] They don't like that.

[21:32] The Apple Fest, 30 days away, just to let people know.

[21:36] And we had a problem up at St. Leo. This is just to show you what we go through on

[21:42] some of this stuff. We were having trouble with the fire alarm system, and we

[21:45] couldn't understand what was going on.

[21:47] We kept getting a low air alarm, because those systems over there are pressurized

[21:51] with air, and once the head goes off, lets the air out, flap opens, and then the

[21:56] water.

[21:58] So we couldn't understand what's going on.

[22:00] So

[22:01] further investigation, we found out that the mechanic over there likes to take his

[22:05] lunch in the boiler room, and that compressor kept coming on.

[22:10] So he'd shut it off.

[22:12] Okay.

[22:12] And a couple of times he forgot to turn it back on, the pressure bled off, and gave

[22:18] us somewhat of a trouble alarm on the system.

[22:23] So we kind of slapped his hand and told him don't do it again. Heavy fines.

[22:27] If he does it again, heavy fines. We don't screw around with heavy fines when it

[22:32] comes to shutting the system down and 140 people's lives are at stake.

[22:37] We would probably be talking $500 to $1,000 fines, and it could be per day.

[22:42] So, he's been informed. That's all I have.

[22:47] Brad, I have two quick questions.

[22:49] Yeah.

[22:49] On the inspection schedule, did you used to put the resident's name on there?

[22:56] On the schedule?

[22:57] Yeah. That relates to the location of the address.

[23:02] I do put all that in my personal notes.

[23:03] Okay, I thought it was on here. And then just a question on the Salmon Run.

[23:08] It says 500. Is that right?

[23:12] Yes, that is the address on the tax map.

[23:14] Okay, got it.

[23:15] I've never seen it before either, but I checked it myself because Ron and I were

[23:18] talking about it, and I'm like, "How do I..."

[23:20] Because they're all small numbers down there.

[23:22] That is the tax map number. I think it's the whole parcel, Sherry.

[23:24] Got it.

[23:27] Oh, Brad-

[23:28] Yep

[23:28] ... would it be too much work to

[23:31] come up with a monthly list of complaints?

[23:34] Not like in enough detail, but like date, address.

[23:40] Oh, we-

[23:41] Similar to what it is like trash on-

[23:43] Well, they're put into the IPS system

[23:45] ... those are reported back.

[23:48] Yeah.

[23:48] Like a general report.

[23:48] Yeah, they should be in there.

[23:49] I'm just curious on the reporting.

[23:51] Yeah, they should be in there in the IPS.

[23:54] We can assist on how we're doing that.

[23:58] Okay, cool.

[23:58] It'd be nice to see just an example of someone who's talked to health department.

[24:03] Well, I work 25 hours a week, Jeff works 15.

[24:07] That's a total of 40 for two people, and I don't always get his information.

[24:12] If somebody calls me about a complaint and I know he's here today or going to be in

[24:16] tomorrow, I don't waste time looking it up because I don't know where he started

[24:21] and left off.

[24:22] Yeah.

[24:22] So I just politely tell him, "I'll have to call you tomorrow."

[24:25] I think it'd just be a good way for us to also know what people are complaining

[24:29] about.

[24:30] Yeah.

[24:30] Instead of five PMs, I'll tend to.

[24:33] Yeah. Most of the stuff is,

[24:37] I want to say health and safety, questions about different things.

[24:42] Right now,

[24:44] we think we might have a rat problem.

[24:47] I sent letters out to the people that are directly involved, and I put my email out

[24:52] there and phone number. I'm trying to see the scope of what we're talking about.

[24:56] How much of one rat, 10 rats? They're finding them dead in the yards over there

[25:01] because somebody's poisoning. So-

[25:05] From what area?

[25:06] Tailwood or Hollow Wood.

[25:07] Tailwood.

[25:08] Yeah. Timberwood. Is that right?

[25:12] I think that.

[25:12] And it affects about

[25:16] 15, 20 residents that back up to the storm drain.

[25:21] So, I mean, they got pictures of them. These are rats. These are big rats.

[25:24] Sewer rats.

[25:28] You've seen them, Jeff?

[25:30] I've seen a rat.

[25:31] It's been a while.

[25:31] It's been a minute.

[25:32] What else have you seen? I haven't seen a rat.

[25:36] Is that why there's water backing up or something?

[25:38] It might be cracked back there, who knows?

[25:42] Yeah.

[25:44] So I'm just concerned if somebody's hired an exterminator or something and they're

[25:49] poisoning these rats, they're laying out in the yard.

[25:52] Some dog gets a hold of it, and now somebody's dog's going to get sick or

[25:56] something. And then,

[25:58] where's it stop? Where's it start? So if I put this out there and I don't...

[26:03] It's already been to the police, I've heard.

[26:06] That's good.

[26:06] So-

[26:07] One person came to the window on Friday and talked to Don about it.

[26:11] Yeah.

[26:12] They should be talking to me about it.

[26:14] You were gone.

[26:15] Oh, sorry.

[26:20] There was a person who was canvassing the Ray Tree, South Avenue

[26:25] area for a pest company. I don't recall the name.

[26:29] But he did tell me that there was a rat somewhere

[26:35] behind a house on Ray Tree. So whatever that, in that area too, that they were

[26:42] being aware of.

[26:43] Those are... I've heard those calls.

[26:45] Yes.

[26:46] Yeah.

[26:48] Happy to hear that.

[26:50] Yeah.

[26:51] He showed his village certificate, so first thing we did, we came to the door.

[26:54] Yeah, I'm glad to hear that, because when they came to the window, I said, "If you

[26:58] could just introduce yourself, tell people you have your permit, it will go a long

[27:02] way." So good for him.

[27:05] Yeah, he did.

[27:07] Sounds okay. Good.

[27:08] That's good.

[27:09] Questions or comments for Ron, the building permit? Peter?

[27:15] Uh, treasurer's report.

[27:17] Have you received, um

[27:24] quarter of '26. It was a

[27:28] little over $31,000 less than the same quarter last year.

[27:32] However, part of that check was accrued, so that's fiscal year.

[27:37] So we still came in a little over budget, and I still, considering that

[27:42] checks are not increasing like they have in prior years, I'm still going to come in

[27:47] at budget for this whole year.

[27:51] We also received the grant for the Senior Care Sanctuary Stewards from the

[27:55] community development grant of $74,524.20.

[28:00] So we'll see quite a bit of money outside of

[28:05] regular revenue for August. And then

[28:11] I have a few resolutions. I just wanted-

[28:14] I talked to, in regards to the sales tax, I was talking to my treasurer for the

[28:18] workers' comp program, who is the finance director for the town of Chilane, and he

[28:22] said, I was saying that, "Did you receive last two weeks?" And he goes, "Yes." And

[28:26] I kind of relaxed because when he looked at the county, they received more.

[28:31] So when Danielle and I were talking, because obviously it was concerning, so we're

[28:36] thinking people aren't spending as much, and then we're going to have to look at

[28:41] our budget, obviously next year, when we always traditionally try to budget as

[28:45] close as possible as the sales tax, but obviously you just don't know.

[28:49] But it hasn't happened since I think COVID, having in this year, I know across this

[28:55] fiscal year, is what, two checks that were less than the previous year.

[28:58] We were kind of alarmed by that, like, wow, with gas going up and everything else,

[29:03] and people just not buying cars and everything.

[29:05] So when I was talking to, like I said, my colleague, he said that the sales tax

[29:09] from the county showing was not lower.

[29:11] So I asked him, well, because he's a super smart fellow.

[29:15] I said, "Well, what's the formula?" And he goes, "I have no idea." So it's so

[29:19] complicated with the county. You have no idea how you get it.

[29:23] But I'm telling you this, currently, it might just be we're getting less based on

[29:29] whatever formula is driven by the county, and not so much that people are spending

[29:34] less.

[29:36] He said that the formula was statewide.

[29:39] Yes. He said it was statewide. It's not like I was doing anything right.

[29:42] Yeah.

[29:42] It was just interesting that he said when he looked at what the sales tax

[29:48] revenue was, it wasn't less than the prior year at the same quarter.

[29:52] Yeah.

[29:53] So I don't know, maybe that's something that we could at least talk to Blake Heller

[29:57] about while we're county lives, just to kind of see, because that's more, I guess,

[30:03] assuring for me, if that's it, versus people are-- we don't know the state of the

[30:08] economy.

[30:09] Todd, do you know if the county's sales tax is lower?

[30:13] I don't, no.

[30:15] Okay.

[30:15] Probably.

[30:17] I would think so. I do.

[30:20] Well, we are staying up almost 2%. So, I think somebody spent money.

[30:25] So yeah, that's where--

[30:30] But 52% of our budget is based on sales tax revenue.

[30:34] So that is not something to ignore completely.

[30:40] Gotcha.

[30:41] Can you explain what you mean by sales tax revenue?

[30:45] Sales tax that is occurring layered. That's just getting distributed.

[30:49] Each town, village through the county, we get a contract with our municipalities.

[30:54] Okay. Within the Monroe County. Yeah.

[30:57] Yet the county shares a portion of the sales tax revenue- Okay ...

[31:01] every quarter to the municipalities. Okay. It's been happening forever.

[31:07] Some counties in the state, like in Oneida County, in Syracuse area, the counties,

[31:13] it's not a given thing that counties do this across the state.

[31:17] It really is a benefit in Monroe County for that.

[31:21] If you look at the town budget, I would imagine it's maybe not as similar to ours.

[31:25] But your budget's not that much higher than ours, that the towns heavily

[31:31] have a sales tax just as much as we do.

[31:34] And even

[31:35] municipalities have a county. And I know, Sean, you go around to different counties

[31:39] and stop and plant your villages and towns and-

[31:43] Yeah.

[31:43] So yes, one of the counties will be sharing the sales tax- Okay ...

[31:47] with the municipalities. Okay. Which is incredible.

[31:50] It's $1.7 million to the village. Correct? About that? Yeah. Yeah.

[31:55] I would imagine yours is the towns in Ohio.

[31:59] I do have a question about the grant money that came in.

[32:04] After that project was completed, we were also, I think, budgeted for Overlook,

[32:10] maybe? Sewer line on Overlook. This might have been before you came in.

[32:16] I don't remember budgeting any for this year.

[32:21] No. Maybe that's where mine's just came in.

[32:24] But the thought process of not getting the grant funding, so it's okay

[32:30] to do a project we had planned on doing.

[32:34] Does that line up for

[32:36] Jamie with that?

[32:36] So I think what happened was there was discussion on doing it, but it didn't get in

[32:41] the budget.

[32:41] Okay.

[32:41] Yeah.

[32:42] So it was funded by-

[32:43] So this $75,000 is considered part of your revenue, just no

[32:49] expense for this current year.

[32:53] And I believe Overlook was going to be maybe the next targeted area, Dan, or Kenny,

[32:59] I think we still have time to look at it.

[33:01] Yeah, we've got to put our camera down. We're shaking.

[33:05] Okay.

[33:07] I do have a couple of resolutions. One is to approve the

[33:12] addition of the petty cash policy to the procurement policy, since we started the

[33:18] petty cash fund, we need to have all the policies associated with it.

[33:23] So I ask for a resolution for that.

[33:26] Didn't we already do that? We need to have a policy. Okay. Thank you. You got it.

[33:32] I'll make that motion to approve the addition of the petty cash fund policy to the

[33:36] procurement policy.

[33:38] I second.

[33:40] Motion and a second. Any other questions? All in favor, say aye.

[33:46] Aye.

[33:46] Opposed? Jerry.

[33:51] I'm also asking for a resolution to increase the petty cash fund from $50 to

[33:57] $100.

[34:00] Considering what we've used this for, for

[34:05] quick lunches and such, we need cash to cover that.

[34:10] And should DPW need it for the expenses for a lawnmower, that get billed and

[34:16] present for at the same time, it would be another $50.

[34:23] Motion by Chris. Do I need a second?

[34:27] I'll second.

[34:27] Second by Jerry. Any questions? All in favor, say aye.

[34:30] Aye.

[34:31] Opposed? Jerry.

[34:37] Final resolution is to authorize Vicki Taylor and Mayor Andrew Fowler to make

[34:43] purchases on behalf of the village and add that to the procurement policy.

[34:48] I make a motion to update the procurement policy to allow Vicki Taylor and Mayor

[34:53] Andrew Fowler to authorize purchases.

[34:58] Second that.

[34:59] Chris, any questions? All in favor, say aye.

[35:02] Aye.

[35:06] Opposed? Jerry. No. I won't stay in here now.

[35:09] Okay.

[35:15] Any questions for Dana? Thank you. DPW.

[35:21] All right. I just have a few highlights of the report.

[35:24] The big one is our Purple Barns update on that.

[35:27] We're looking at the spray foam contractor, L.

[35:29] Bones, will be here next Tuesday to spray foam the building.

[35:33] He says he's blocking out two full weeks in case, because it really relies on the

[35:38] humidity to stick them up. Concrete's scheduled for the end of this month.

[35:43] And after concrete cures enough, we'll have the ventilation contractor come back

[35:48] and vent the fence in. The heaters are in, we just need to vent soon.

[35:52] And then last piece really is just out in the parking lot, getting all the lot

[35:58] grade, so the water grades away from the building.

[36:01] And we'll need a third party contractor for the spray foam.

[36:04] Okay.

[36:06] We got one.

[36:08] We got one?

[36:08] We have people we work with on a few jobs.

[36:11] Okay. All right, perfect.

[36:16] The big one, next one is, we got down here, we're looking to pave Horton Brooks and

[36:22] Short Hills. Right now, it's this Thursday.

[36:25] As long as everything goes good, this Thursday we'll be paving.

[36:27] I'll get the message out to the residents on all three of those roads probably

[36:32] tomorrow.

[36:36] Can I go into the action items? First up here, I got authorization to attend the

[36:41] Public Works school October 19th through the 21st, and that's a total of

[36:45] $1,008 with lodging and food. That's a late class this year.

[36:52] I'll make the motion to authorize the superintendent to attend the Public Works

[36:55] school October 19th through the 21st at a cost of $1,008.

[37:03] I second.

[37:03] Second by Chris. Any other questions? Favor say aye.

[37:07] Aye.

[37:07] Nays. Motion carries.

[37:10] Next up, I have a slight change to our winter hours.

[37:13] I'm looking to change it to instead of 7:30 to 4:00, it would be from October 1st

[37:18] to April 30th, 7:00 to 3:30. And the reason for the half-hour change is really just

[37:23] the morale boost for the employees. They were definitely asking for it.

[37:28] It would be a huge appreciation for them to get out a little earlier, whilst it's a

[37:32] little lighter out in the afternoon.

[37:36] I'll make the motion to authorize the superintendent to change the winter hours to

[37:40] 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 instead of the 7:30 a.m.

[37:44] to 4:00 p.m., going from October 1st to April 30th. I second.

[37:50] Second. Any other questions? Favor say aye.

[37:52] Aye.

[37:52] Nays. Motion carries.

[37:55] Next up, I got a resolution to purchase a plow for the current truck that I am

[38:00] driving for $8,212. Currently, the truck has not been updated for a

[38:06] plow, so we need the kit and the plow to be installed on it.

[38:13] Make a motion to purchase one Western-style plow, three-way spring for

[38:19] two. It costs $8,212.50, and that would be installed.

[38:25] I'll second.

[38:26] Any questions? Favor say aye.

[38:29] Aye.

[38:29] Nays. Motion carries.

[38:32] Next up, our seasonal mower. We're looking to hire him for a full-time position

[38:37] starting pay of $20 an hour. It's been working out great, and we had a really wet

[38:42] season, so it was kind of perfect to see his work ethic through the rainiest

[38:46] conditions, and he's willing to commit for full-time, so

[38:53] .

[38:53] I'll make a motion to hire Jacob Retell full-time vacant position starting at $20

[38:57] an hour.

[38:59] Second.

[39:00] Second. Are there any questions? All in favor, say aye.

[39:03] Aye.

[39:04] Nays. Motion carries.

[39:06] And last up, I got two asset lines, a five-year evaluation, and I'm recommending

[39:12] $1.50 per asset line.

[39:16] He's a top-notch employee.

[39:19] I make a motion to increase the wages of Zach Line per shift to $1.50

[39:25] per hour.

[39:29] I'll second. I just want it to be noted, Zach has stepped up.

[39:34] He's been doing some shifts here at the community center.

[39:37] It's nice to have an employee that's willing to help out.

[39:43] Motion and second. All in favor, say aye.

[39:46] Aye. Just to clarify, that's $1.50 an hour?

[39:49] Correct.

[39:50] Because I assume you talk about basically that's going to be still line's not going

[39:53] to go up like that.

[39:54] Yeah.

[39:55] Because we have to bump it up.

[39:58] Yeah, it's going to go up, but just slow it down once he gets five and a half, six

[40:03] months from now.

[40:04] Yeah, exactly. Okay. No, exactly.

[40:08] Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[40:10] Just put a motion, Zach, we're also good with the

[40:15] motion. Any other questions for Dan?

[40:22] How are things been going, Dan?

[40:23] Great.

[40:23] Good.

[40:25] It's going good. Yeah, the biggest thing is just trying to work on spring paving.

[40:28] I'd love to get the roads paved sooner, but it's just not going to work out.

[40:32] But hopefully this Thursday we get paving.

[40:38] Now that you've been here a little bit on the job, any piece of equipment or

[40:43] technology-

[40:44] Right now, the amount of chipping and brush hauling we do right now is looking like

[40:50] the smartest item. It'd be going towards a grapple truck.

[40:54] A grapple truck is versatile. You can use it to pick up the brush instead of

[40:57] handling it all by hand, and then you got appliance pickup.

[41:01] You can pick the appliances up instead of bringing the tags back, picking up the

[41:04] appliances up, picking all kinds of stuff, picking huge piles of trash that people

[41:09] leave out, just using the equipment versus-

[41:12] Okay, so that'll be something coming back.

[41:15] Yeah, we can look. I've already looked at used equipment to see what's out there,

[41:19] but I think it would be huge.

[41:22] Just kind of filter saying that if there is a good segue, can you explain that

[41:27] we've installed cameras around the village?

[41:29] Yes. Yeah, that's right.

[41:31] If you're okay with that, is there going to be-

[41:32] Currently, there's-

[41:34] ... a camera on the village?

[41:34] ... four snow cameras that were installed on Overlook, right on the

[41:40] top of the hill to keep an eye. The only person that's going to have, Chad and

[41:44] myself, will have access to the snow cameras, and we can watch through the winter,

[41:48] see how the roads are,

[41:51] see what's going on. So we put one at Overlook at the top of the hill, mounted to

[41:54] the wooden pole down midway. One on

[41:57] Underwood and Orchard,

[42:04] one on Sunny Slope down the opposite side of the village.

[42:08] And then the last one's at Humby Square parking lot, towards the one-way side.

[42:13] So when I was driving home today, I thought that we should have-- I was just

[42:17] thinking that I need to talk to you about it, and I propose that we need to have a

[42:20] policy on the camera usage, just because then we know who gets access to the

[42:25] cameras. I'd also like you to put a big suicide tag on the cameras so they show

[42:30] that they're village-owned property.

[42:31] There's no recording on them.

[42:33] So we can put on that too, just in case.

[42:35] We can actually, someone, one or two people already called, I think when you guys

[42:39] were installing them, because people are worried about, they're like, "Why do you

[42:43] have cameras on?" So I just think it's appropriate too that we have a policy for

[42:47] that, and that we can kind of just, I'd like to segue in that we have them for the

[42:53] community center and for DPW. I just think that's- And the lodge ... and the lodge.

[42:58] I just think that's smart to have in that because we do hold them for the community

[43:04] center and the DPW for two weeks. Alert the community maybe through the newsletter.

[43:11] We can, I believe, and then I think we have to be notified here if you have a

[43:15] camera. I think we already have surveillance in, but you think that's notified.

[43:20] We just can't- Yeah, I'm saying the ones that you were adding for the snow.

[43:24] Oh, the snow. Like how we can't put that in the newsletter.

[43:27] Yeah, so we can put that in the newsletter. That's great.

[43:29] Get pictures on the ring or whatever you put them.

[43:31] I'm sure it's been talked to, yeah.

[43:34] Maybe help with placement so the people can know they're very transparent.

[43:39] Yeah, I was looking. One of the highest point of the village, one of the lowest

[43:41] point of the village, one in the parking lot, one in the kind of the middle.

[43:46] Yeah. No, I think it's a great use of technology.

[43:49] I just want to cover ourselves, just that we have a policy. It's a policy.

[43:56] Yeah.

[43:56] So I'll work on that for

[43:59] next month.

[44:04] Dan, with hiring Jacob full-time, does that make us fully staffed minus now the

[44:10] seasonal?

[44:11] Yeah, it makes us fully staffed.

[44:13] Okay.

[44:14] It doesn't feel like it. The only reason is these guys are not paid.

[44:17] They don't have a CDL and over permit, so we got three, four employees here without

[44:21] a CDL. So we're still frequently understaffed, but we are fully staffed.

[44:25] We're extending the one seasonal to November 1st, who's going to take over at the

[44:31] moment.

[44:31] Yeah, being right.

[44:32] So you're kind of full staffed.

[44:34] Yeah, you have the amount of people you would normally have.

[44:38] We just got to get these guys their CDL for driving the trucks we have.

[44:42] The expectation's still your first year.

[44:45] Correct.

[44:46] So this time next year, everybody hopefully should be-

[44:50] Yep.

[44:52] All right.

[44:53] Did anyone take the written test this month?

[44:55] We talked about-

[44:56] No, we've been working. Hopefully, they're saying next week right now, so.

[45:01] Any other questions for Dan or Chad?

[45:05] Great. Sherry.

[45:07] All right.

[45:09] I'm just going to have ready to policy on this agenda.

[45:12] The agenda was something I thought about, and then I can weigh in here, too.

[45:15] We need to update the workplace violence and then the harassment

[45:21] policy to remove Jeff Pierce's name and add Dan Bareis.

[45:28] I'll make a motion to amend the-

[45:34] Sexual harassment treatment and workplace violence

[45:37] ... yep, those two,

[45:39] to replace Jeff Pierce's name with Dan Bareis

[45:51] And then looking at my report, I didn't know how you felt about the discussion on

[45:56] the Walt Horlacher Civic Beautification Award.

[45:59] The board last month was kind of round-tabling if we had a recipient, and then it

[46:04] was suggested that possibly we wait and

[46:08] have an award for both Citizen of the Year and the Walt Horlacher, maybe even doing

[46:13] them, having them come in the same night and then they can participate in

[46:19] the parade and other festivities instead of they're literally six months apart.

[46:24] And then possibly there might be some other renovations that could be done six

[46:30] months from now.

[46:31] I'm open to that.

[46:34] Yeah. This might be something then.

[46:38] Yeah.

[46:38] Okay. All right. So we'll just table that then till we do the Citizen of the Year.

[46:44] Annexation, we really already covered.

[46:47] And I don't want to keep Sean here too long, so we can actually next on my report

[46:53] is the local law introduction

[46:58] or the-

[47:01] I have the SEQR first.

[47:02] Okay.

[47:04] We have the SEQR first.

[47:07] How do you want to proceed?

[47:10] So for this action, you have two resolutions in front of you.

[47:14] The one introducing the local law and setting the public hearing for October 6th.

[47:19] The other one is the SEQR resolution for declaring intent to be

[47:25] the lead agency.

[47:28] So those are the two separate actions.

[47:32] This is in reference, I'm not sure if anyone has seen behind them.

[47:38] I brought a copy of the updated zoning map based on what-

[47:42] Yes

[47:42] ... has already occurred. So-

[47:44] This is the new property.

[47:45] Correct. So with that, all we're really doing is

[47:51] updating the official zoning map according to the department stages, procedural

[47:56] steps.

[47:57] So like these right here in pink, those are...

[48:01] I don't think I've reported seeing possibly the updated new risk.

[48:05] So with this, I'm just throwing it out there, we did update it a couple of years

[48:11] ago with the zoning update.

[48:13] Yeah.

[48:13] But if there's anything that you see visually that you might find annoying, or

[48:19] you just want to change it up, now is maybe the time, as we got to come back on

[48:24] October 6th to officially adopt the local law.

[48:27] So if there's anything that you see that you might want to change, whether it would

[48:31] change it to be yellow, to pink, I don't know, I'm just taking that option.

[48:34] But-

[48:34] Oh, you mean the color.

[48:35] The color, yeah.

[48:36] Not just changing the zoning.

[48:38] Yeah.

[48:39] You know, let's just change the residential zone.

[48:42] Just the visual-

[48:43] Okay.

[48:45] ... presentation. So, with that-

[48:50] Dan, did you have any? I think it's all right. Do you like the colors?

[48:53] Do you-

[48:53] The only thing I was wondering was house numbers, street numbers.

[48:57] Is that too hard to-

[48:59] Yeah, that would just-

[49:01] ... put on there?

[49:01] That would be kind of hard.

[49:02] Okay.

[49:03] Just due to the scale.

[49:05] Yes.

[49:05] Although you do probably have the biggest official zoning map that I've ever seen.

[49:10] Really?

[49:11] It's pretty big. It's pretty big.

[49:14] Yeah.

[49:16] But we have time to make if there's any visual things that you want to change, we

[49:21] can address those.

[49:22] I would put the house,

[49:26] like bam. It'd be the RSTLNE.

[49:30] Letters and numbers.

[49:31] So as you see, the 20.8 acres of ours, will now include within the building

[49:37] boundaries.

[49:38] They really beefed up our-

[49:40] Yeah.

[49:40] So

[49:42] with that, under SEQR-

[49:44] How many squares anymore?

[49:49] That's a program.

[49:52] All right. So we need a resolution for a public hearing and then the SEQR

[49:56] resolution.

[49:57] Yeah.

[49:58] All right. So I'll make the motion to the village board to have a public hearing

[50:04] local law, do we know number?

[50:06] Is it two again?

[50:07] It's two.

[50:08] Local law number 2-2026 to approve the

[50:14] new zoning map. To be heard at the community center on October 6th at 6:30

[50:20] PM.

[50:21] I'll second.

[50:22] I second.

[50:23] Sure. Any questions or

[50:25] comments?

[50:31] Let's vote.

[50:33] Who's motioned?

[50:33] Six.

[50:33] It was me.

[50:33] Andrea to second.

[50:33] Aye.

[50:33] Opposed, carry. Only have two resolutions for SEQR.

[50:38] So I'll make the resolution to the village board hereby classifies the proposed

[50:42] actions as Type 1 action as further defined under Part 617.5 of

[50:48] the State Environmental Quality Review SEQR Regulations.

[50:52] I second.

[50:53] Sarah, second. Any questions about that? All in favor say aye.

[50:58] Aye.

[50:59] Opposed, carry. I'll also make the resolution, get a motion for the resolution for

[51:04] the village board hereby declares its intent to be the designated lead agency of

[51:09] the action addressed in the village, this all being declared, signed, and contained

[51:14] in full in the above article.

[51:23] Motion by Chris. I'll second. All in favor say aye.

[51:27] Aye.

[51:28] Opposed, carry. They all approved.

[51:33] All right. So we're all set, Sean, for tonight?

[51:37] We're all set. So with that, we'll send out lead agency packages tomorrow.

[51:43] We will have to coordinate with Monroe County Planning Board.

[51:49] Oh, I did. I sent it. Okay, so that was sent.

[51:52] And then, yeah, we'll be back on October 6th where we can adopt the

[51:58] local law.

[51:59] Do we have to notify neighboring states then?

[52:03] So yeah, we've already prepared the lead agency packages, so we've included, since

[52:08] there's essentially only one lead agency, you guys, it's more of a

[52:13] courtesy coordination. So we're going to coordinate with the Town of Harmon,

[52:19] town board, Monroe County Planning Board as well. So.

[52:26] I think your question was, do we have to send out official letters?

[52:30] To-

[52:31] Just around the area. So for a zoning, normally it's, I thought it was 500,

[52:36] but-

[52:38] That-

[52:40] What was it, some people? Residential.

[52:42] Originally it started as nothing.

[52:45] So there was a little, when we did this back, it was kind of really quick when we

[52:49] did this with the town December, January.

[52:52] I think both boards maybe never did an annexation before, and it was going from

[52:57] residential, to residential. And then, when I asked to have our zoning map printed

[53:03] and updated, this came to fruition that once it's annexed, then apparently the

[53:07] village board can zone it anything they want.

[53:10] Oh.

[53:10] So it's really unzoned right now. That's why it's being zoned residential.

[53:15] Okay.

[53:15] It was just kind of a-

[53:17] The intent was always there.

[53:18] Yeah.

[53:19] Yeah. We did the first action with the annexation.

[53:22] The second was actually to give it a designation.

[53:24] Yeah. We just didn't know that the case did pass.

[53:27] So next time the town gives us property, next year we'll know.

[53:38] But to answer your question, I'm not quite sure if the village needs to notify

[53:44] the adjacent properties within a certain-

[53:48] We all know. Don't worry. Then we told them. We all know.

[53:53] When the annexation took place, we had an initial public hearing, all the residents

[53:57] came, and that was the biggest question is what are you going to do?

[53:59] So we told them it's going to be residential.

[54:01] I think it's probably fair, and I think we might have to still do that because it

[54:06] is a zoning. We are zoning the property.

[54:08] I think we need to send out the letters, but then I think it's fine.

[54:11] Just to make it official.

[54:13] Yes. We'll have to send-

[54:14] Well, it's all done digitally, so.

[54:16] It's done digitally. We'll just...

[54:18] They might... Did you know they cleared the property?

[54:22] Yeah, there's-

[54:23] L&S already cleared it.

[54:24] Maybe in that letter you can let them know that all the clearing has been

[54:28] scheduled.

[54:29] If I can, we

[54:32] will.

[54:33] Yeah. Go ahead. Make sure.

[54:38] Thank you, Sean.

[54:39] Yep.

[54:41] Okay.

[54:44] Lockdown policy. This had to be updated, and I sent this to Amy.

[54:50] She supplied a draft. Is there any changes, questions? So Amy supplied a draft.

[54:57] It's Amy's draft. So the lockdown policy is now going to be known as the-

[55:03] Community center safety plan.

[55:05] Okay.

[55:07] I was on vacation last week, so I didn't get an update from the center. Yeah.

[55:13] It mirrors what New York State has schools do,

[55:19] almost. I think in the agenda pack there is a-

[55:22] There's a template

[55:23] ... copy of what schools have. If you look at it, it's almost word for word.

[55:28] It says students. It's individuals.

[55:32] I do a sample session with this.

[55:33] Yes.

[55:36] On all of these, I know with your style of your document, it says listen for

[55:41] updates. How are we communicating?

[55:47] Yeah, we don't have a PA system in this building, at least yet.

[55:52] I'm just looking at the finance right now.

[55:53] Sure.

[55:55] Currently, in the current process, if we're in a lockdown,

[56:01] we communicate via somebody call or text our tenants, right?

[56:06] So the other thing, Chris, just so you know, so this is our village of Hilton

[56:11] lockdown policy.

[56:13] Individual tenants like daycare and rec, they have to have their own too.

[56:20] Right.

[56:20] So daycare has to have everything, like their own protocols and everything else in

[56:24] place. So it's kind of like little-

[56:28] Well, there's sections

[56:29] ... sections. Right. There's all stuff.

[56:31] But they're not going to know any-- They would get information from someone.

[56:36] If we lock down, we tell them. And it's really two tenants, and it really is,

[56:42] we go across the hall and run down to Kelly, or I text them. Yes.

[56:46] Or the other two.

[56:48] Well, I would go there too. It depends on if daycare and rec are responsible for

[56:53] their own. Food Shelf's not here every day.

[56:56] No.

[56:56] Yeah. So if I go to rec and tell them, they're responsible for all their programs,

[57:01] daycare responsible for them. It's essentially, when you're looking at a day-to-day

[57:06] operation, other than Food Shelf is here two days a week, that's who's in this

[57:09] building. It's the three entities, town, village, daycare.

[57:15] They are three days, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

[57:18] But they're not here. They're spread out.

[57:20] I'm just saying.

[57:20] Yeah.

[57:22] But they're here every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

[57:24] So it's only two days a week they're not.

[57:28] I would make sure that they-- They'll be locked out. Don't worry.

[57:34] They'll get out.

[57:35] No, the only problem is, like you said, there's no PA.

[57:38] There isn't. I know, I don't-

[57:40] I've got to go down the hall, scream in their computer.

[57:45] You know what I mean?

[57:47] It's not a perfect science. This isn't a school.

[57:51] Right.

[57:52] We don't have all the technology and

[57:56] bank account to do everything. I don't know what they did in 1923.

[58:01] They must have did some type of-

[58:04] City scares.

[58:05] Never restrooms.

[58:07] They're all out of that.

[58:10] There you go. That's the difference.

[58:13] Okay. The other, just as we're-- Can we talk about

[58:19] lockdown? And I know this was covered in the other document, but it says, "Lock

[58:23] your door and barricade if necessary." How does someone know if it's necessary?

[58:27] I'm just wondering, the practicality of some of these instructions.

[58:32] How do you know if it's necessary to barricade your door?

[58:35] So we have to be notified by the sheriffs.

[58:37] This is how it once used to be before, but it's exactly what that document was.

[58:42] I'm not calling out that we-

[58:44] Yeah

[58:44] ... I'm just like-

[58:46] We-

[58:46] Do you tell them barricade or what's-

[58:49] I think that's open for the interpretation of what your door is like.

[58:55] If

[58:58] we were in this room, we would lock the door and we'd pull the blinds.

[59:00] We don't have to be in rec office. That's another thing, where there's a glass

[59:06] window and you're seen through. So this building-

[59:09] Well, it's barricade is to keep the door from being busted open, right?

[59:12] Yeah.

[59:13] Seeing in is one thing, but I think it's also just to protect yourself from someone

[59:17] getting in.

[59:17] Yeah.

[59:18] I was just curious.

[59:21] Unfortunately, this building, there's very few rooms that you probably could...

[59:27] It's like the odd, you probably could really not get in.

[59:31] They'd have to climb through that space if you're maybe in the interim.

[59:33] But the reality is, these doors here, I could probably kick through it.

[59:39] This is a very unique building.

[59:43] This is just a kind of a standard procedure that's not going to be a perfect

[59:47] science, especially with a daycare in here.

[59:50] Right.

[59:51] The daycare being in here is grandfathered in.

[59:53] If they were to leave, there's by law there can't be another daycare in this

[59:57] building. And so we have to be, as a manager of the building, we have to be careful

[1:00:01] too as to not scary-- I don't want to scare people because a daycare, they keep

[1:00:04] their doors open at all time because they have to be able to get to know more

[1:00:09] policy, and this building is very unique as to how much you can

[1:00:14] forgot. Shannon was instrumental, and absolutely it cost 11 to get into the

[1:00:19] lockdown. But communication is going to be

[1:00:23] difficult.

[1:00:26] All right. I was just curious.

[1:00:27] Yeah, no, it's a great question. It just comes in here when all that happens.

[1:00:32] It's kind of trickle along.

[1:00:36] Yeah.

[1:00:36] Right. The other thing, my comments were just in knowing that each occupant has to

[1:00:42] have a plan, but on the evacuate

[1:00:46] column, that having a bag or something ready at all times of the list of

[1:00:52] people in an attendance list and things that-- Because even in what your rally

[1:00:57] location is, making sure everyone knows what that is, because otherwise

[1:01:01] vacating and evacuating and meeting up in one place is really hard.

[1:01:07] So having documentation, a bag right by the way out that has all the people that we

[1:01:13] know are supposed to be checking in and all of that, but they have their own plan

[1:01:17] that-

[1:01:18] So that's where rec and daycare gets to have their own plans.

[1:01:21] Rec, daycare guys, they practice emergency drills because daycare, especially for

[1:01:26] the infants and everything, they have a couple of cribs that are solely for their

[1:01:30] use, but they're for transport.

[1:01:32] Right.

[1:01:32] So they put all the babies in there, they have all the bags, and then their

[1:01:35] evacuation route is via the interim ramp out there, and they grant us that.

[1:01:40] They have their own internal protocols. There's no way I can do that.

[1:01:45] Evacuation should have, I mean, Sharon, I know I'm pointing to you, but you have

[1:01:50] seniors and you have after-school care.

[1:01:52] You have-

[1:01:52] You have lists of everybody that attends that program-

[1:01:56] Yeah

[1:01:56] ... where rec, you're required to sign in.

[1:01:57] So once daycare, "notify them," however that is, they're responsible to

[1:02:03] enact their emergency evacuation plan or shelter in place or lock down themselves.

[1:02:09] Right.

[1:02:09] Obviously, in imminent weather, all of us would fly into the hallway because you

[1:02:14] might go into the windows. I think what comes to mind when people lock down is

[1:02:19] people automatically think of an active shooter or something, because that seems to

[1:02:23] be the more, I don't want to say common, but

[1:02:28] a threat outside.

[1:02:31] But we also do have policies for shelter in place and for weather

[1:02:37] needs.

[1:02:39] You don't do fire drills?

[1:02:42] Fire drills, we used to do it.

[1:02:46] We had to go the whole building. Daycare does that on their own timing.

[1:02:51] They obviously just do it internal.

[1:02:54] They have to do it for check.

[1:02:56] I thought that was for the whole.

[1:02:58] Yeah.

[1:03:00] Daycare certification.

[1:03:03] Just that they're before and after school thing, but other parts of our department,

[1:03:08] I just thought that was kind of-

[1:03:12] No, daycare way, like 20 years ago, I used to conduct that.

[1:03:16] They would actually have us pull that.

[1:03:17] We'd stop it, and they started doing that internally.

[1:03:21] Because the reality was, other than daycare, no one wanted to stop what they were

[1:03:25] doing to go outside and stand there for 10 minutes.

[1:03:28] They said, "We're just going to ignore it."

[1:03:32] Fine.

[1:03:33] I mean, it is.

[1:03:34] Run.

[1:03:35] Interesting.

[1:03:36] Yeah.

[1:03:38] I mean, really-

[1:03:39] When I was the incident commander for Monroe County Building,

[1:03:44] the county executive would b***h every time I pulled the alarm.

[1:03:48] But I'm like, "You got to do it. It's really important.

[1:03:53] You have to have everyone in the building know how to get out of the building at

[1:03:57] the same time."

[1:04:00] Just hoping.

[1:04:02] Right, Lynn?

[1:04:04] Right.

[1:04:06] It's when the fire alarm has gone off, it's not successful. Everyone is locked.

[1:04:12] I mean, I've witnessed it myself

[1:04:18] No.

[1:04:19] Thank you.

[1:04:19] Any other questions on the safety?

[1:04:22] We need a motion and a second.

[1:04:29] I make a motion that our community center safety plan is replaced by

[1:04:34] bylaws.

[1:04:37] I'll second that.

[1:04:38] Sorry.

[1:04:39] I'll second.

[1:04:40] Okay.

[1:04:44] And actually, just a side note, and one of the hardest things we did with the fire

[1:04:47] drills was that Sherry, I know you worked as a youth director at the time, was

[1:04:50] trying to get the seniors out the building, because they absolutely just refused

[1:04:54] to. They kind of fake drilled. They just went to it.

[1:04:57] It was just

[1:04:59] to give a formal-

[1:05:02] And you don't see that happen. They literally pull the alarms and you have no idea

[1:05:07] what it's really like. I mean, they do learn in code, so it's not like nothing

[1:05:13] happens. We know nothing.

[1:05:15] Usually the people that run, like that-

[1:05:17] Yeah

[1:05:18] ... whoever are assigned to different areas-

[1:05:21] Right

[1:05:21] ... they pretty much know.

[1:05:22] Right.

[1:05:23] Like I knew it was fake.

[1:05:25] Yep.

[1:05:25] But I ran it like as if-

[1:05:27] Right

[1:05:27] ... get your a*s out the door.

[1:05:30] I guess Ron surprised us.

[1:05:35] Nothing that's supposed to be a surprise. You're not supposed to know.

[1:05:40] If I'm putting my name on the paper, I'm going to pull the cord.

[1:05:44] Okay.

[1:05:44] You know?

[1:05:46] No, but I'm saying, yeah, you're running it.

[1:05:48] Right.

[1:05:49] I use the running it.

[1:05:50] And I'm responsible for it.

[1:05:50] Right. If I'm responsible for it, then I-

[1:05:52] You'll hear it, but you won't know how it ends.

[1:06:00] Right. Okay. So, but

[1:06:03] we need to add on Vicki Taylor

[1:06:09] to that?

[1:06:10] Yep.

[1:06:10] Okay. Ambulance district, the clock has started.

[1:06:15] We have not had one petition. I consulted with our attorney, and after 30 days,

[1:06:21] I simply just notify the town via email that we have not had a

[1:06:26] petition filed and we're good to go.

[1:06:30] So,

[1:06:32] next on my docket to complete is the e-bike local law.

[1:06:37] I know that Jamie is not here. I don't know if you want to take a look.

[1:06:41] So this took up a little bit more time than I anticipated.

[1:06:45] I originally thought by this month that I would just add no e-bikes on the

[1:06:49] sidewalks and be good to go. And that's not at all how this turned out, obviously.

[1:06:54] I'm recommending omitting Chapter 259 in its entirety and replacing it with the

[1:06:59] proposal that I've got that would encompass all electronic-type bikes, ATVs,

[1:07:05] all of that. And I worked with Jeff Champion at the village department.

[1:07:09] Him and I kind of worked together and composed what we thought would be

[1:07:16] that good law that was a little more detailed than I thought, but I think it's

[1:07:21] going to be hard to police. I consulted with our other village board consent board,

[1:07:27] who has a lot lighter policy. They cannot use police.

[1:07:31] They have compensated three when, since the law was in injunction, which is kind of

[1:07:37] out. Here, it's going to be different with Monroe County, but if we have nothing on

[1:07:42] the books, then the sheriffs can't do anything.

[1:07:44] So something is better than

[1:07:48] nothing.

[1:07:50] With that, I sent this about 10 days ago, and I haven't seen any comments or

[1:07:54] anything. I sent this just to John yesterday, so he still has to look at it.

[1:07:59] It was running discussions, comments, remarks.

[1:08:02] I do have some minor edits that I'll make on chance of...

[1:08:08] Nothing to-

[1:08:09] Okay.

[1:08:11] Just on top of that,

[1:08:14] a couple of weeks ago, I reached out to Deputy Nathan Clark.

[1:08:18] He is Monroe County Sheriff's Office Community Engagement Deputy for C-Zone,

[1:08:24] asking him, because we talked about it at an experts meeting, that it might be good

[1:08:28] to have a presentation to learn more about this.

[1:08:30] So I am communicating with him to get them to come out to just educate people

[1:08:36] about what is allowed, what we're seeing, how are they handling e-bikes, the

[1:08:42] golf carts, the ATVs, the mini bikes, everything.

[1:08:45] So when that happens, it would be here.

[1:08:49] I think it might be best to be in an evening where more people could attend.

[1:08:54] But any feedback on that, I'm open, and I'm trying to get the schedule, say, in the

[1:08:59] next four weeks.

[1:09:00] Great.

[1:09:01] Oh, that's great.

[1:09:03] That's great.

[1:09:03] So evening kind of sounds like it would be better-

[1:09:06] Yeah

[1:09:07] ... to get more people in attendance.

[1:09:09] Not to create arguments, but to get more educated about-

[1:09:13] Well, parents need to know what their kids are allowed to ride.

[1:09:18] Correct.

[1:09:19] I'm going to send my kids.

[1:09:20] Pardon?

[1:09:20] I said I'm going to send my kids there.

[1:09:23] So with that, they get that on the lanes.

[1:09:26] If they come and do that, I'm just curious what the law allows.

[1:09:32] Like, do we explain that the village could potentially have a different code,

[1:09:38] or what? Is that going to be confusing,

[1:09:42] if it's open to the public?

[1:09:43] So we're talking about two different things.

[1:09:45] So I think because you're looking to have them come out and do like a public

[1:09:48] informational thing. This is what I propose is going to be in our zoning.

[1:09:52] Right.

[1:09:53] And that's what's going to be allowed.

[1:09:55] But then what I'm saying is if we do a presentation to the public, and they should

[1:10:00] know the sheriff explains what the laws are for Monroe County.

[1:10:05] Is that going to be confusing to parents potentially who are here listening and

[1:10:10] saying, "Okay, this is allowed for Monroe County," but we don't have a code yet to

[1:10:15] say what our code is for the village.

[1:10:19] It would make sense to have the informational meeting after the village code is set

[1:10:23] in mind.

[1:10:24] But shouldn't it mirror it?

[1:10:27] Sure.

[1:10:27] Shouldn't the information that

[1:10:32] Monroe County is giving out mirror what the village has?

[1:10:37] Right.

[1:10:37] Because they're our own local law.

[1:10:39] Right.

[1:10:39] Local is what we abide. Each village municipality has the ability to curtail the

[1:10:44] law to what they think their community needs.

[1:10:47] So if you have a sheriff meeting of this sort,

[1:10:51] there should be a village representative at the same meeting giving the

[1:10:56] information that the public needs to know about.

[1:11:00] Okay.

[1:11:01] We won't have it yet.

[1:11:02] I know.

[1:11:03] So I don't know if we can have it yet.

[1:11:05] I'm just saying informational, it's not just for the village.

[1:11:08] Yeah, it's-

[1:11:08] It's for the town.

[1:11:09] Sure.

[1:11:09] It's just kind of for professional.

[1:11:10] We're seeing this stuff all around everywhere, and we don't know what to do.

[1:11:14] We don't know who to call. It's hard to police.

[1:11:17] It's hard to nail down, can these kids and/or young adults be

[1:11:22] prosecuted for? It's more or less for that.

[1:11:25] It's not really to mirror this, but just to educate people.

[1:11:29] If this were to go to public hearing, if the board so chooses so in October, it

[1:11:34] won't be filed for the secretary of state till probably late November.

[1:11:37] So that'll give us time to have information-

[1:11:40] Good

[1:11:40] ... when you have a public hearing that we could, where we're educated on

[1:11:46] what's out there.

[1:11:47] Yeah, the laws are wide. I mean, it's going to be very hard to police.

[1:11:51] I actually put in there no more than 15 miles an hour.

[1:11:54] Some communities, they do it for whatever the speed limit is in their jurisdiction,

[1:12:00] which is going to be up to 30, could be up to 35, could be 25.

[1:12:03] I mean, the reality is this is

[1:12:07] probably not going to do too much. I mean, they fly down there.

[1:12:11] I'm going to call 911.

[1:12:12] That's the whole point. I mean, what's it going to take for kids to get killed

[1:12:16] before everybody takes this very seriously?

[1:12:19] I mean, I'm really scared because I see these kids with in and out on

[1:12:24] 259.

[1:12:25] So they will call you.

[1:12:27] E-bikes, golf carts.

[1:12:29] It's not a village adult issue. We are trying to do our best to protect the

[1:12:33] residents, but that's a parent issue.

[1:12:36] That's just like someone went out drinking and driving, too.

[1:12:39] That's a theory, too, but that's a choice that people are making.

[1:12:43] But that's the whole thing. These kids are out, but you know who's going to get

[1:12:44] slammed for it? The person that hits that kid.

[1:12:48] But I couldn't see them. I don't know where they came from.

[1:12:51] But yet the person that hit the kid is the one that's going to get prosecuted.

[1:12:55] That's why I think we're trying to do everything we can to get something on the

[1:12:59] books.

[1:13:00] Exactly.

[1:13:00] This is as much as we can do.

[1:13:02] Yeah.

[1:13:02] But now at least there's a code that could follow up with a ticket.

[1:13:07] Yeah, exactly. Because if they're under 16, the bike can be confiscated.

[1:13:11] If it's clocked over 15 miles per hour, it gives some teeth to the sheriffs to be

[1:13:16] able to do something to it. And you're good.

[1:13:19] Yeah. I think what Sherry's trying to communicate is that unless there is a Monroe

[1:13:24] County sheriff in town that observes the behavior- Formally, nothing can be

[1:13:30] done. But unless the village has a law in place allowing that Monroe County

[1:13:36] Sheriff's officer to take action, he can't do anything right now.

[1:13:40] So the goal is to get a law in place. If you compare what's happening here with

[1:13:46] Rockport, with Spencerport, with East Rochester, the difference between

[1:13:51] those three municipalities and ours is-

[1:13:55] I know

[1:13:55] ... they have a police.

[1:13:56] I know.

[1:13:57] So I spent significant time this week trying to figure out if there's another way

[1:14:02] for the village to enforce these rules.

[1:14:06] I learned all about things like constables and the appointment of peace officers.

[1:14:11] I love all this stuff. Well-

[1:14:12] And there may be a way to do it, but the administrative cost and

[1:14:18] headaches associated with it, in my view, is likely not worth

[1:14:24] what the village is trying to accomplish.

[1:14:27] To put in place a program for the appointment of constables or peace officers

[1:14:34] to enforce this one provision,

[1:14:38] in my humble opinion, my opinion, I know doesn't matter here, but I'm

[1:14:44] just saying it's a huge undertaking

[1:14:47] for one provision.

[1:14:49] And the town department does have special police, so maybe once this is final and

[1:14:54] everything, the reality is once this is final, it's going to be probably snowing,

[1:14:57] and there's not going to be as much e-bikes.

[1:14:59] So maybe the village can have a conversation with the town, and depending on if

[1:15:04] this ticks up next year, maybe because the town now oversees and leads the special

[1:15:10] police, maybe there can be a conversation between the supervisor and the mayor for

[1:15:14] them to, I'm just throwing out an idea, to police that in some manner.

[1:15:20] But that's for future discussions, and that was a great point, because we had to

[1:15:24] know, we used to all contribute to the special police, but right now the town

[1:15:28] manages it entirely itself. But

[1:15:32] that might be an area that could be utilized with the special police at some

[1:15:38] point.

[1:15:40] No, I was just saying, I think what Jerry's presenting, that informational piece,

[1:15:44] is exactly what more communities need. They just had one in Fairport.

[1:15:49] I live in Fairport. Just the more educate the general public on safety

[1:15:54] concerns, what are the laws and so forth.

[1:15:58] But your code is going to more narrow it down, but it's just going to follow some

[1:16:04] of the recommendations of the safety standards.

[1:16:08] But-

[1:16:09] And maybe parents, to say it correctly, maybe parents are just like, "It's that

[1:16:12] house." And they don't realize maybe that ramp leads, I hope-

[1:16:16] To Bear Hill.

[1:16:17] I was on Henry just last week, and I turned onto West Ave.

[1:16:21] So obviously starting out slow, and there was an e-bike going

[1:16:26] east right at West Ave here, and they caught up to me to the point

[1:16:32] they had to have been going 25 miles an hour.

[1:16:36] And it was a kid maybe 10 years old, and I was worried for the kid.

[1:16:41] I mean, that's the whole thing. I understand.

[1:16:43] I have children that are 12 and 11. They want them no respect because all their

[1:16:47] friends have them.

[1:16:48] Right. I spent hours on this. This did not, I know it came through, but it was a

[1:16:54] lot going back and forth, because I really, obviously, wanted to make it easy.

[1:16:58] But that, as I ride, this actually was the village of East Aurora.

[1:17:03] This was the one area that I picked.

[1:17:06] But they're more of a destination village, so they had a lot of things in there.

[1:17:12] They get rentals of e-bikes and everything else like that.

[1:17:14] But I looked at so many municipalities.

[1:17:16] A lot of them did do the village speed limit, which is 30 miles an hour.

[1:17:20] I chose, I put in here, I thought that 15 miles an hour was

[1:17:25] appropriate, and that hopefully, that it does slow it down, so

[1:17:31] maybe you don't flip over going out of the driveway or something.

[1:17:35] But my thing is they just zip in and out of 259 parking lots.

[1:17:41] I know you can't.

[1:17:43] I know you can't. And it's just very scary.

[1:17:45] Ironically, this boy did stop at the traffic light in front of 7-11.

[1:17:50] These kids, I just watched a kid zip out of the Post Office parking lot, go right

[1:17:56] through 259, zip along the road, and it was a skateboard

[1:18:02] that had one huge wheel in the middle. I've never seen anything like that.

[1:18:08] I feel like they're creating all these new things.

[1:18:12] So just one funny story since it happened.

[1:18:14] My good friend's son, who is 12 years old, was pulled over this

[1:18:21] past weekend by a sheriff and actually followed him back to

[1:18:27] his house,

[1:18:29] and basically scolded his parents about using an illegal bike.

[1:18:35] Not to mention he didn't have a helmet on.

[1:18:37] Right. So this incorporates that. It's the safety, the idea.

[1:18:42] And it should be a one-person thing.

[1:18:44] There was, in our neighborhood-

[1:18:47] It's being looked at

[1:18:47] ... they had-

[1:18:48] Yeah, I went back, ours is on the website.

[1:18:52] And we'll get the information out there. We have e-newsletters every month.

[1:18:57] We're having our official newsletter.

[1:19:00] We'll probably maybe make that and any kind of other one at the center.

[1:19:05] So we'll get the information out, and then again, probably mirror it to the

[1:19:11] spring.

[1:19:12] Probably do now.

[1:19:12] Yeah.

[1:19:13] It should be also a single person vehicle or single person usage.

[1:19:18] There were two girls on a scooter. One was all fronts

[1:19:24] down.

[1:19:25] Last night I checked.

[1:19:26] Yeah. All fronts down, and the other girl was down.

[1:19:28] Yeah.

[1:19:30] I mean.

[1:19:31] All right.

[1:19:32] I'm okay with bringing it forward at the public hearing next week.

[1:19:36] Per the attorney's review and comments afterward.

[1:19:41] I do agree with Sean. I do think the penalties for the offenses need to be

[1:19:45] increased.

[1:19:46] Okay.

[1:19:48] And not only is it a powerful disincentivizer, but the

[1:19:53] cost of prosecuting these claims exceeds the value of the fine,

[1:20:00] which means it costs the village money to prosecute these claims, and

[1:20:06] the village loses money every single time it prosecutes a claim.

[1:20:11] So I think we need to at least narrow the

[1:20:17] gap between actual costs and the fine,

[1:20:22] or exceed it if possible.

[1:20:23] Okay. We can-

[1:20:25] Thanks, Mr. Chair.

[1:20:26] Yeah. Sure.

[1:20:27] You're welcome.

[1:20:29] And we can also refer the...

[1:20:34] No, the penalty's too light. It'll go on. Never mind.

[1:20:36] We originally thought we were just going to have this again, put it in the new

[1:20:39] schedule, but this is law, just like our parking tickets and our casino thing.

[1:20:44] I thought it was

[1:20:48] 500 dollars. I thought it was 500.

[1:20:50] It's now $350.

[1:20:52] Yeah.

[1:20:52] Yep.

[1:20:52] So if we vote on this tonight to have a public hearing, does that mean that we

[1:20:57] can't make any changes other than what...

[1:21:00] I'm just wondering, because JD-

[1:21:02] I know. That's why I didn't know if you wanted to wait till-

[1:21:05] We should wait for the resolution.

[1:21:07] And then why don't, I think that's the right idea, because that way we'll have our

[1:21:11] attorney's full comments and recommendations, JD's, and because they're really,

[1:21:16] November, December is not going to make that much of a difference.

[1:21:19] The season's over, and I'd rather get it right.

[1:21:22] Yeah, we have this corrected in place. We're talking about April 1st of next year.

[1:21:26] Yeah.

[1:21:27] Because it's summer.

[1:21:28] So let's handle it.

[1:21:30] Yeah.

[1:21:31] And then I will

[1:21:33] do a track change of what you want to do, and then I'll send it to the board for

[1:21:37] your recommendations.

[1:21:42] I need to be quick because...

[1:21:47] Yeah.

[1:21:47] All right. Newsletter. I put in September 20th, but if you can start, I

[1:21:54] just wanted to give Amy enough time.

[1:21:56] Usually we send the newsletter about the second-ish week in October, so we really

[1:22:02] try to encompass all the holiday activities. Post office.

[1:22:10] I'll let John

[1:22:12] chime in, but we were having success contacting the existing person that

[1:22:18] Lisa has the lease. But John was successful in

[1:22:23] communicating with his legal counsel, correct?

[1:22:28] Yes. I have reached an attorney who has represented to me that he represents the

[1:22:33] costumer

[1:22:36] He hasn't responded substantively to

[1:22:39] me on the topics I wanted to discuss with him.

[1:22:43] So as of right now, I'm disappointed to report that my attempts to get them

[1:22:49] to facilitate the inspection of the property that we want have, to this

[1:22:55] point, been for naught.

[1:22:58] I had the DPW, we had a meeting this morning, and Chad and Dan are doing an

[1:23:03] exterior maintenance inspection and then going to confer which they think could be

[1:23:08] repairs and submit it to myself and John.

[1:23:12] And then we hopefully are successful with reaching either the lessor or the

[1:23:17] attorney, because we've built in within the amendment to the second

[1:23:23] lease is that they do have to maintain the building, and they have 20 days

[1:23:29] to repair the building. Which we take possession January

[1:23:35] 31st.

[1:23:37] So we're going to open this board at my recommendation once we share a little bit

[1:23:41] more information in October, but we're going to really need to do a deep dive into

[1:23:47] this building. And I want to give a clear...

[1:23:54] I'm

[1:23:56] trying to think of the word. I guess what we're really getting into with

[1:24:02] this building,

[1:24:05] with how much revenue we're going to be getting every year versus possibly the

[1:24:09] repairs and then what our liabilities are going to be.

[1:24:14] Because we are going to be owning a building that is 30 years old that virtually

[1:24:19] has had not much done to it.

[1:24:24] You're going to do a present condition assessment.

[1:24:26] Pardon?

[1:24:26] You're going to do a present condition assessment.

[1:24:28] On the exterior. So since we've been trying to get interior for years, but because

[1:24:34] it's federal, they say that we don't need to do this.

[1:24:37] So this is really a unique situation that we're in, and we have this building too

[1:24:42] that needs a lot of work. So I was talking to the mayor, saying this might be a

[1:24:46] special meeting board type, but we have two large-scale buildings that are

[1:24:51] essentially going to be taxpayers' expenses.

[1:24:54] This one already is, but we have other responsibilities too, to the

[1:25:00] taxpayer services and everything else.

[1:25:02] And we are starting this post office,

[1:25:06] they're not putting a $500 security deposit.

[1:25:11] I don't even know if they ever had a security deposit, which I just thought of

[1:25:14] that. I mean,

[1:25:17] we have to compose a new lease. There's a lot to be done.

[1:25:21] And all we have is DPW to help us maintain

[1:25:28] the building, and Jen has told me it's up to task.

[1:25:34] And also know what they plan on actually staying in the Village-

[1:25:38] That's what I'm saying

[1:25:38] ... because plenty of post offices have closed.

[1:25:41] So that would be something that would be really good to understand what the intent

[1:25:46] is after that in January.

[1:25:49] So they signed a five-year renewal, and the next

[1:25:55] renewal is 2027. To the best of my knowledge, and John, there are so many documents

[1:26:00] to go through, but to the best of my knowledge is both we take possession of the

[1:26:05] lease and the building on the 31st.

[1:26:07] And I believe, from what we know, we have to compose a new lease to the US Post

[1:26:13] Office, and they have to agree to another five-year lease.

[1:26:17] And so those terms all have to be laid out.

[1:26:20] I would think you and I need to work on this no later than probably, I'm going to

[1:26:25] say November, middle of November. We have to get a hold of these folks.

[1:26:27] We won't be in a position to draft a new lease.

[1:26:31] We are going to be bound by the terms of the existing lease.

[1:26:34] True.

[1:26:34] Which means there won't be as much heavy lifting on the part of the village, but it

[1:26:38] means that-

[1:26:39] We're stuck with what-

[1:26:41] We're basically stuck with what has already been put in place by our predecessor

[1:26:47] in interest.

[1:26:48] And they never increased the amount of rent for-

[1:26:54] There were four five-year extension periods.

[1:26:58] This 2027 will be the third extension period.

[1:27:03] And our tenant contracted to allow the rent to

[1:27:09] remain static from the beginning of that 20-year period all the way through

[1:27:15] year four.

[1:27:16] So that's through 2032.

[1:27:18] So-

[1:27:18] You get the same rent from 2012, '17-

[1:27:21] 2016

[1:27:21] ... to 2032. And you know what property values have done, you know what

[1:27:27] construction costs have. So this board also, not to put this completely out of the

[1:27:32] route, because you won't own the building.

[1:27:34] You also don't have to keep the building.

[1:27:38] If you chose to sell the building, these leases stay in effect, and then the new

[1:27:42] owner obviously has to adhere to that.

[1:27:45] But this board has some very big decisions to make because, as the manager,

[1:27:51] I would recommend that we have two...

[1:27:53] This building needs a lot of work, and then we're taking another

[1:27:58] building that needs a lot of work, and it would

[1:28:02] be very difficult to market.

[1:28:02] The marketability of this building is highly questioned.

[1:28:08] I don't know who we would find to buy a building-

[1:28:10] But this building was built-

[1:28:11] ... that has an existing tenant who has the right to possession for the next 10

[1:28:16] years at a fixed, very favorable term.

[1:28:20] And also, we have serious questions about the condition of the building, so.

[1:28:26] This is very uplifting.

[1:28:30] We need the world's best real estate agent

[1:28:33] to help us.

[1:28:34] Well, we don't know if they want our rent to continue as a post office.

[1:28:38] They don't-

[1:28:38] I don't think so.

[1:28:39] That's what I'm saying. Maybe that's why they're not returning our calls.

[1:28:43] It's possible that they

[1:28:46] are having those conversations. No, they are getting a sharp sense.

[1:28:49] What I see is a-

[1:28:53] So that might make it less likely that it'll be useful.

[1:29:01] It looks like it was $90,000.

[1:29:02] But it's a little over $106,000 a year.

[1:29:05] It's a little less than $10,000.

[1:29:07] Yeah.

[1:29:07] It's around 9,000.

[1:29:12] But if that number grew over the last-

[1:29:16] Oh, it would be a lot more.

[1:29:17] Yeah.

[1:29:19] But you're right. And to your point, that is

[1:29:23] very unfortunate that they come in saying because an investor is not going to find

[1:29:28] that very appealing.

[1:29:29] So that monthly is very... Okay, well, we'll stop

[1:29:35] there.

[1:29:36] Yeah. So the land, we get money for the land lease.

[1:29:39] So we get money for the land lease right now, but we're going to own the whole

[1:29:42] shebang, so we're not going to-

[1:29:46] So that's going to stay the same.

[1:29:46] Money for the land lease stops-

[1:29:48] Yes

[1:29:48] ... we then start collecting rent payments from the United States Postal Service.

[1:29:52] How much do we get for land?

[1:29:55] I don't know why 800, but it's 400. I'm going to have to go back and look at it.

[1:30:00] So we're going to no longer get 59, but we'll get 10,000.

[1:30:05] 10,000, yeah.

[1:30:06] I mean-

[1:30:06] That's good.

[1:30:09] Right.

[1:30:10] The whole point was this, the village board at the time I was here, I had nothing

[1:30:15] to do with this. I was very young at the time.

[1:30:17] Oh, sure.

[1:30:18] It was to keep the post office in the village. It was for the development.

[1:30:26] No one could afford it because everyone thought that people were still going to

[1:30:28] walk and get stamp, and now-

[1:30:32] So $109,000, is that okay for us to manage that building with

[1:30:38] more or less?

[1:30:38] Ever.

[1:30:38] Yeah, probably not.

[1:30:39] Ever.

[1:30:40] Prevailing wages.

[1:30:42] So it's okay. So if an investor bought this building as a contract we were talking

[1:30:46] about, and they could maybe do it for $80,000 because they have all the equipment

[1:30:50] and everything, we're a municipality, we have to pay prevailing wages.

[1:30:52] So an $80,000 contract is going to be at least 200,000 to us.

[1:30:56] Everything is going to be... Because now it's,

[1:31:01] I don't know, maybe the post office, do they need the same person?

[1:31:08] I don't. I mean, I can speak for them.

[1:31:11] I wouldn't recommend it, if I represented them.

[1:31:16] Well.

[1:31:17] Word of mouth.

[1:31:19] Yeah. So this is going to be

[1:31:22] heavy on the list. Ugh. I remember my conversation, my

[1:31:29] janitor was saying 2027, she already told me. I had to leave you.

[1:31:36] Okay, so that's that. Maternity leave.

[1:31:39] Is everyone good with that updated policy?

[1:31:44] The only question I have is, is it available to the employee immediately?

[1:31:49] I saw there wasn't anything in there as to when they get it.

[1:31:53] If you're a new hire-

[1:31:55] Those are for full... I think all this works under, I should say, for full-time

[1:31:59] employees.

[1:32:00] Full-time.

[1:32:01] It does say that.

[1:32:02] Yeah.

[1:32:03] Yeah. But say I'm hired next-- Say Chad's hired next week.

[1:32:08] Well, the reason we're doing this is because Chad has told me that he's looking

[1:32:12] for-

[1:32:12] Yeah.

[1:32:17] I would say immediately.

[1:32:18] Yeah.

[1:32:18] I don't think we can discriminate against that.

[1:32:20] And if,

[1:32:22] then, for a reason he got less-

[1:32:24] There wasn't a timetable in there, and you just can't assume it's there.

[1:32:28] No, I would think that you would.

[1:32:31] My question was about

[1:32:34] how many times per year could one employee use this?

[1:32:39] And because-

[1:32:41] You could have a-

[1:32:42] You could have-

[1:32:43] You could have a pretty good, uh-

[1:32:45] I mean, the other question might be foster care, because foster care is listed

[1:32:49] here, that you could-

[1:32:51] I wasn't thinking about that.

[1:32:57] I wasn't thinking that, but- I thought foster care,

[1:33:01] you potentially could have foster care, foster children that come in and out.

[1:33:06] But if this is open for that, then you could have foster children.

[1:33:08] I think we

[1:33:11] took it out. It had to be... Oh, I did not.

[1:33:14] What out?

[1:33:15] Foster.

[1:33:16] No, it's on there. It is on there.

[1:33:18] I think we-- I thought we were going to take that out.

[1:33:22] It's the third bullet point right now.

[1:33:24] Yeah, I thought we were going to take that out.

[1:33:26] And I think it should be limited to one time a year.

[1:33:33] It seems, even if you left what you written and said one time a year, then you're

[1:33:37] just offering it one time a year.

[1:33:38] I think one time a year. Because let's face it, fathers can't have-

[1:33:43] Right

[1:33:44] ... more than one baby a year.

[1:33:46] Then they would be taking every overtime.

[1:33:48] I know.

[1:33:49] Yeah. I mean, I...

[1:33:53] Maybe

[1:33:55] foster care can just have one time a year, and then-

[1:33:58] I agree with this. Yeah.

[1:34:02] I agree with this 100%.

[1:34:08] So you have a say about that for...

[1:34:11] Okay.

[1:34:18] Yeah.

[1:34:27] Because you'd use this policy only once per calendar year.

[1:34:30] So you're free-

[1:34:31] Or it's a once in a 12-year period or 12-month period, because I don't know if you

[1:34:36] really want to say calendar year, because if it spans over, then it's confusing.

[1:34:42] But if you said in a 12-month period, then you're limiting

[1:34:48] the three weeks to one 12-month period versus

[1:34:53] calendar year, back to back that's six weeks.

[1:34:59] So we've got our eligibility we have to pull up for exempt.

[1:35:07] They can only use it once a...

[1:35:13] They haven't used it yet in a 12-month period.

[1:35:19] Three

[1:35:25] weeks or 15 business days of paid paternity. Per 12 month period.

[1:35:31] Yeah. It's right there.

[1:35:34] I can't hear you guys. Kristen, can you just jot down what you just said, and then

[1:35:37] tell us?

[1:35:38] I wish I recorded that.

[1:35:40] She said, "Whereas just three weeks or 15 business days of paid paternity

[1:35:46] leave."

[1:35:46] Yeah.

[1:35:47] Adding the words "per 12-month period."

[1:35:49] Per 12-month period.

[1:35:56] Okay.

[1:35:56] And the other, uh-

[1:35:58] And you took out foster.

[1:35:59] We're leaving foster.

[1:36:01] These are reading only 12.

[1:36:02] Okay.

[1:36:04] Yes, can we change them?

[1:36:07] I believe so. I agree with the changes.

[1:36:11] Questions? I'll make a motion to approve the changes to the...

[1:36:17] We have the adopt the new paternity leave policy, as

[1:36:22] discussed here tonight.

[1:36:24] I second.

[1:36:25] Jen, any other questions? All those aye.

[1:36:28] Aye.

[1:36:29] Aye. Opposed? Carried.

[1:36:31] Great leadership.

[1:36:34] Just in time.

[1:36:36] All right. The only other thing quickly I have is I did this report before I went

[1:36:41] to vacation, and the roof repair was supposed to be completed or scheduled, but

[1:36:45] because of the weather, it's been delayed.

[1:36:47] So that looks like it might be done next week.

[1:36:51] So they're... She just called me tonight, and they're going to come and...

[1:36:56] So the construction team's going to come take a look and

[1:37:00] have a look at that.

[1:37:01] Okay.

[1:37:04] And I did have a custodian leave, Caroline.

[1:37:08] And it just worked out perfect. I got an application that day, and I hired

[1:37:13] another woman. She started last week, and that's working out very well.

[1:37:19] I have my Apple Fest schedule all set for the custodians, and that is

[1:37:25] a fully staffed. It's mandated that if you're a custodian, you have to work Apple

[1:37:29] Fest. So I did have one custodian that she just really couldn't do it for some

[1:37:33] other health reasons. But I just had everyone sign off on the last person today,

[1:37:37] because we won't meet till after Apple Fest.

[1:37:41] Do they know what time? Because Apple Fest is running time in the parking lot.

[1:37:46] So the parking lot is scheduled to be closed

[1:37:52] Thursday, 6:00 AM. All the tenants have been notified.

[1:37:57] And interior building is some of the rooms is Thursday at 6:00

[1:38:03] PM, till daycare's done, like with the gym.

[1:38:07] So it's a little bit different this year.

[1:38:10] We're trying to balance it between festival tenants,

[1:38:16] and then to your... So fall is going to start at 7:00 AM, but that's a very good

[1:38:21] point, because last year, the chairperson of the Apple Fest was also the mayor, and

[1:38:26] he's... But I don't think people get in earlier than 7:00, because it doesn't

[1:38:30] really start till 10:00,

[1:38:34] but I will communicate that as a...

[1:38:44] Other than that,

[1:38:48] I can't. Oh, yeah.

[1:38:54] So I haven't had this request yet, but Apple Fest normally uses thankfully

[1:38:59] my office for counting money and other things.

[1:39:03] Since the renovations and remodel, and since the

[1:39:09] connection between village employee and Apple Fest employee having access to the

[1:39:14] office, I don't feel it's really appropriate that I

[1:39:19] allow Apple Fest in my office, in the village office with a lock, because they are

[1:39:25] not employees now. Like I said, it's different when you are village employees.

[1:39:29] So is the only room I could think to offer them is this room, and it's essentially

[1:39:34] for counting money and everything.

[1:39:35] I hope they're going to like it, but it's the only room I can.

[1:39:38] And I just don't feel comfortable anymore being a non-village employee to or your-

[1:39:45] Can they use the Apple room?

[1:39:47] They could.

[1:39:49] I mean, it's kind of hidden and out of sight.

[1:39:51] I know, right? They might-

[1:39:52] There's a lot of people coming out of that room, I think, right now.

[1:39:55] Yeah. I think it's a lot. They're not, this is not going to be their first choice

[1:39:59] unless they get a new different door.

[1:40:02] Well, how much room do they need?

[1:40:02] How about a key for in and out?

[1:40:04] It's security. So both workers.

[1:40:07] What are you thinking?

[1:40:08] The other thing that we'd have to get, yeah, they would have to have a key.

[1:40:11] But it's not always locked with people. I mean, it's adjusted.

[1:40:17] And their whole point of using my office was because you get another layer.

[1:40:21] So they locked my office completely, so it's got money in it, and then you get

[1:40:27] locked in. This is a direct... I don't know what they're going to do, but I'd have

[1:40:32] to bring this out about my office because-

[1:40:34] How about offer this space? A spare key. Simply offer the space or add a room.

[1:40:41] I also thought... Actually, that's not good because you don't mind, but you're...

[1:40:46] If I bought, like, a closet.

[1:40:48] Yeah. We were just talking about that.

[1:40:49] You wouldn't mind them going in your office with a closet room.

[1:40:52] That might be a compromise

[1:40:54] They still have access to

[1:40:59] open desks in there. Yeah.

[1:41:02] I was just thinking, because I know what their concern is.

[1:41:06] So if you walk in and say they open this door and there's a pile of money, there's

[1:41:12] people up there, they quit easily.

[1:41:15] Not that for them, but-

[1:41:18] Yeah.

[1:41:18] You know, they-

[1:41:18] You don't want them to see that.

[1:41:20] Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. That's where I know where that's going to be.

[1:41:24] That is a concern. If they're sitting there counting money on this table and they

[1:41:28] come in there, there's always going to be people there.

[1:41:30] Yeah.

[1:41:33] I wonder if there's another room upstairs that they could possibly have.

[1:41:38] Maybe even your little room or something.

[1:41:43] I guess, yeah.

[1:41:43] Is it any more secure than the Apple Fest room? Nobody's upstairs.

[1:41:46] No one's upstairs.

[1:41:47] It's barricaded. That's what I'm saying. Maybe that's their office.

[1:41:51] They have their room.

[1:41:52] But I think that room, mainly when I was on the board-

[1:41:55] I don't-

[1:41:55] ... there's a lot of people-

[1:41:56] Well, those are during events

[1:41:58] ... during events. No, but the Apple Fest people go in and out of that room,

[1:42:01] getting stuff all the time.

[1:42:03] I think it's like a break room.

[1:42:05] There's a lot of soldiers. Yeah.

[1:42:07] That was on deposit.

[1:42:10] Yeah. Not after this week.

[1:42:13] Right.

[1:42:13] I mean, it's like our office is dead lined.

[1:42:17] Not after this week.

[1:42:19] You got out of their office?

[1:42:22] That would be complicated

[1:42:25] by building departments because of the access to files or computers or other...

[1:42:31] I'm not concerned about committee members, I'm concerned if the doors are shut, but

[1:42:35] the worst thing you can do here is, I guess, entertain insurance.

[1:42:40] They're okay with money.

[1:42:42] Yeah.

[1:42:43] That's what they like.

[1:42:44] And maybe they could do something up-

[1:42:46] Or just close the door. Just have a person standing there.

[1:42:50] You don't have counting money in the room.

[1:42:51] Have a person sitting at the door that doesn't allow people in.

[1:42:54] We shut those blinds and enjoy the air conditioning. Yeah.

[1:42:59] Okay. All right. Thank you.

[1:43:01] Great. What's up?

[1:43:03] Do you

[1:43:04] want me to

[1:43:11] come to the conference? Okay. So I received a tax search request for Hilton East.

[1:43:17] So it looks like it is going to transfer, and they have outstanding balance with us

[1:43:22] of $76,205.50 that they will pay for

[1:43:28] transfers of ownership.

[1:43:32] Does that include the engineering fees for the-

[1:43:36] Yes.

[1:43:37] Yeah. Taxes, outstanding water bills-

[1:43:41] Okay

[1:43:41] ... operating permits. So I don't know if that means for the Park Lane

[1:43:46] development either. We paused that project

[1:43:52] because the engineering wasn't paid.

[1:43:54] If the engineering's paid, but there's going to be new owners now, I don't know if

[1:43:59] that's going to come back to the table.

[1:44:02] Do we know who the owners are?

[1:44:04] It's nobody that I have ever heard of. I think they're out of Brooklyn.

[1:44:10] Engineering is all held on for the most part.

[1:44:14] Yeah.

[1:44:16] Yeah.

[1:44:17] Yeah. I would imagine they're going to want to come back, but-

[1:44:20] I mean, there was a lot of time and effort that went into that project.

[1:44:22] To the bank.

[1:44:25] Especially with all the FEMA coordination.

[1:44:28] Yeah.

[1:44:28] Right. Yeah.

[1:44:30] But Jeff, does he still get involved in the project?

[1:44:36] What I hear from him is he's still managing the project, or it looks like he's

[1:44:42] purchased it back.

[1:44:43] Yeah, he said he's a commercial broker.

[1:44:45] Yeah. So-

[1:44:46] He's helping probably with that

[1:44:48] ... but he talks like it could still be a go, but it's all dependent upon the sale.

[1:44:53] We got pretty close.

[1:44:55] Yeah. Like Sean said, everything's-- I mean, it's pretty close to a final.

[1:44:59] They spent a lot of-- I'm going through FEMA getting that approval is huge.

[1:45:03] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A couple of miscellaneous items.

[1:45:08] The Recreation Department requested our approval to close Henry Street down for

[1:45:13] trick or treat.

[1:45:15] Okay. Sorry.

[1:45:15] Halloween, October 31st from 5 to

[1:45:21] 7. Dan, could we ask for staffing for that, Dan?

[1:45:25] Yeah, we got two people signed off for trick or treat.

[1:45:29] Okay. Because we can then-

[1:45:31] It sounds like they recognized the special police, too.

[1:45:35] Okay.

[1:45:36] Yeah. They're looking. They were going to

[1:45:39] dress up in suit.

[1:45:40] Oh, okay.

[1:45:43] It's a birch. Jason and

[1:45:47] Isaiah.

[1:45:47] That's good for the f*****g little kids. Yeah. They still want to trick or treat.

[1:45:56] I think there's like there's a lot to have a little one-sided team.

[1:46:03] Was Isaiah at the car show? See if he would like that.

[1:46:07] No, that was Brayden, our self-help employee.

[1:46:10] Okay. Same age.

[1:46:12] I know, yeah.

[1:46:13] Brayden's Brayden.

[1:46:15] So I'll make a motion-

[1:46:16] Tell him to bring the next gen

[1:46:17] ... to close Henry Street down on October 31st.

[1:46:22] The event is 5 to 7, so maybe-

[1:46:25] We'll make a resolution 4:30 to 7:30.

[1:46:28] 4:30

[1:46:30] to 7:30.

[1:46:30] Yeah. That should be done pretty quickly.

[1:46:35] I second.

[1:46:36] Shannon, any questions? All in favor say aye.

[1:46:40] Aye.

[1:46:42] Opposed,

[1:46:44] carry. Anything else, Jerry?

[1:46:48] Board member reports. Real quick, it's late.

[1:46:54] End of this month,

[1:46:57] I've been coordinating a small business event called Apple Trail.

[1:47:02] By the end of this week, there'll be more information pushed out online.

[1:47:06] We have over 20 businesses and four or five other community groups

[1:47:12] like recreation, fire department.

[1:47:14] The premise is that everybody who wants to participate, it's free.

[1:47:19] They go visit the stores, pick up raffle tickets.

[1:47:22] Most of the businesses are donating gift cards.

[1:47:25] Just a way to get people out and shopping around the community.

[1:47:29] Once I get a second, I'll put more information out in the emails.

[1:47:35] But we do have a lot of local businesses participating in this one.

[1:47:41] It's September 26th, the afternoon.

[1:47:45] That's all I have. Anybody else? You been

[1:47:51] working?

[1:47:53] There wasn't much September. Yeah, we went to that one as well.

[1:47:58] As far as, like, the business items.

[1:48:03] Chris, thanks for attending the car show.

[1:48:06] It was a lot of fun.

[1:48:07] Yeah. It was good.

[1:48:09] There wasn't as many for a municipal festival than August,

[1:48:13] so .

[1:48:16] One more on poll comment, any questions, discussions, comments from the public?

[1:48:21] Me?

[1:48:21] Sure.

[1:48:23] I have a question.

[1:48:24] Yes.

[1:48:25] On the basis of any public comments, but we can talk about

[1:48:30] having two signers for vouchers.

[1:48:34] Yes.

[1:48:34] And I find out who is going to do it for September, and that for November and

[1:48:39] December, it's going to be somebody else.

[1:48:41] Traditionally, we have one board member per six-month signed bills.

[1:48:45] When I came in, shortly after I came into the mayor's office, it was my turn.

[1:48:52] Yeah.

[1:48:53] I told Daniel when my turn's done, I would also like to continue to sign them.

[1:48:58] I think it's a great oversight to have two of us.

[1:49:00] Yeah.

[1:49:02] Personally, it gives me an opportunity to ask a lot of questions.

[1:49:07] So we devised a plan where the department head, the mayor, will

[1:49:13] sign every bill, and then quarterly, he'll go through the other four interest

[1:49:17] meetings.

[1:49:18] Yeah.

[1:49:18] So now we're in the fourth quarter.

[1:49:21] Yeah.

[1:49:22] So that'll start at this point.

[1:49:26] Okay, cool. Who would you start with?

[1:49:28] I figured it would go alphabetically by last name.

[1:49:31] Okay.

[1:49:33] And I'll go Jamie, Christine, Jerry.

[1:49:37] Okay. Then I would have these come to offer you guys to sign

[1:49:43] or whatever, Jamie, because I'm the mayor.

[1:49:48] It's just a good way for everybody to, if you haven't done it yet, a good way just

[1:49:52] to learn

[1:49:54] how much little things go on.

[1:49:57] I have questions.

[1:50:01] I've been doing it for 12 years. I still have questions.

[1:50:03] Okay.

[1:50:04] Really?

[1:50:05] 22 minutes.

[1:50:09] I might need it.

[1:50:09] Nick. That's what I thought.

[1:50:12] No.

[1:50:12] For the eight by 10.

[1:50:15] I thought nine by nine.

[1:50:19] No. FC.

[1:50:20] I closed this room.

[1:50:21] They don't even know.

[1:50:23] Was it the wrong one?

[1:50:23] Yeah, it was.

[1:50:25] It's insane. Like, I'm sure-

[1:50:28] We went jack up.

[1:50:30] We went jack up, but I waited till the last minute for that f*****g process.

[1:50:39] I don't deserve it.

[1:50:42] We do need some executive session.

[1:50:46] So I'll make a motion to enter executive session to discuss deployment status in

[1:50:50] particular.

[1:50:52] Hi, everyone.

[1:50:54] Hi. All in favor say aye.

[1:50:56] Aye.

[1:51:00] It's all about you two
