[0:00]
I, I got the other one anyhow, so it doesn't matter. They didn't change, did it? Nope. Look at that over there. Okay, who's running the meeting today? I am. Ready to go.
[0:14]
Yep. I'd like to bring the Jerusalem Township Board of Trustees meeting to order. It's June 23 at 7 p.m. I'll call meeting to order and I request a moment of silence.
[0:31]
and then we will recite the Pledge of Allegiance
[0:43]
to the flag of the United States of America
[0:48]
and to the Republic for rich and sands, one nation under God, any of those will have liberty and justice for all.
[1:07]
You can do the roll call or should I?
[1:08]
Roll call?
[1:10]
Do you need to do it or?
[1:11]
Roll call.
[1:32]
I'll make a motion to approve the meeting minutes for May 26, 2026 and I'll second that Alex
[1:41]
let him make the motion and David Bench second of it. We'll move on then to the we can't do the other one so yeah we don't
[1:50]
have enough people to do the May 28 meeting that's yeah we'll move on to the fiscal
[1:57]
options report oh right oh yeah yeah it's my first time in two years dude
[2:12]
what
[2:14]
What have I got to say? I can't remember anymore now.
[2:17]
Name us off and we say yes or no?
[2:19]
Yeah, that's right.
[2:21]
Alex Slitten?
[2:22]
Yes.
[2:23]
David Bench, yes.
[2:25]
Bo Miller?
[2:27]
Absent.
[2:30]
OK.
[2:31]
OK, then we'll move on to the fiscal officer in the course.
[2:33]
You know, one more minute to approve.
[2:35]
Oh, we can't approve him because he's not here.
[2:38]
He's not here.
[2:39]
I wasn't there.
[2:39]
You weren't there.
[2:40]
Correct.
[2:41]
So we better wait and let that go.
[2:43]
Technically, I can't.
[2:44]
One can't vote on it, right?
[2:46]
Very mysterious.
[2:48]
You could always approve of meeting to do an attendant
[2:51]
to agree with the meeting.
[2:53]
I was told I can do that, but I'd rather not at this one.
[2:59]
You're right, though, I could.
[3:00]
Did I hear me in a jerk?
[3:02]
I thought I was true.
[3:04]
The shortest way in history.
[3:06]
I should have put that on the agenda for Dave to read off.
[3:08]
Sneak it in there.
[3:09]
That's a real officer, let's go.
[3:10]
So I'm going to let him in, I don't know how much time we get.
[3:15]
You have your reports in front of you?
[3:17]
Yep.
[3:18]
OK, the checking account, we have $97,537.32 in the sterile high old investment, $780,268.28
[3:32]
more numbers to approve 2, 4, 7, 3, 6, 3, 2, 4, 8, 7, 2, and electronic payments to
[3:40]
through 7.1-2026, through 7.4-2026, and that total between those two is $100,462.5 with
[3:53]
the, probably worth the talk this out, because you guys do, and it looks like in health insurance,
[4:01]
So the trash used to be the big, the big ones, the old trash,
[4:08]
health insurance.
[4:11]
And then it's, of course, a whole month of trouble,
[4:13]
great since it was the last month in the May,
[4:17]
last time you hadn't had it before.
[4:19]
And then the deposit says that May 12th, meaning,
[4:29]
$63,000 and $73,000 and $86,000
[4:37]
and $2,000 and $2,000
[4:41]
and $3,000 and $3,000 and $5,000 and
[4:48]
that might be the...
[4:51]
That should be...
[4:52]
Yep, that should be the amount.
[4:56]
That's in.
[4:58]
Did you...
[4:58]
Did we approve a check for that already? I can't remember.
[5:04]
I don't think so.
[5:05]
Why are you making for exactly what you paid?
[5:07]
Did you give you that information?
[5:09]
Yeah, so this was the correct amount that we got to pay out.
[5:12]
So I'll double check on that.
[5:18]
Okay.
[5:20]
So that's my report.
[5:21]
Anything else? That's it, huh?
[5:23]
Well, I've got a one to pay, but I'd love to do that.
[5:25]
The approval of that if you want.
[5:27]
Okay, I need a motion to approve the, uh,
[5:30]
this law officer's report.
[5:31]
I'll make a motion to approve the fiscal officer's report as read.
[5:36]
I'll second that.
[5:38]
Roku, David Bench, yes.
[5:40]
Alex Litten, yes.
[5:42]
Paul Miller.
[5:46]
You got something else?
[5:48]
Yeah, I don't think I'm just going to let her from the Bureau workers' condensation.
[5:52]
I don't look back.
[5:53]
It seems like every five years they audit us.
[5:56]
Last time I saw all of a sudden a drive was 2022,
[6:01]
two, four years, five years, four years.
[6:05]
So interesting, I thought I did something wrong,
[6:08]
but then I realized in 2022, they get it on it.
[6:11]
And I think it's just to make sure
[6:12]
that they're getting paid enough money
[6:14]
for all the employees we have.
[6:16]
Even every year, I have to give them
[6:18]
that information anyways.
[6:19]
They just have to go back and say,
[6:21]
you lied to us already, you did lied to us,
[6:25]
you owe us more money.
[6:26]
It's probably what's gonna happen.
[6:27]
They're gonna do what's called a true up report again,
[6:30]
which I have to do every year at the end of the year to say these are all my
[6:33]
employees the classification and then how much we should be paying or have paid for
[6:36]
that year and they come back and they say well you didn't pay enough and then so
[6:42]
this is another check for them to make sure that we collectively collect them
[6:46]
on your phone. So they get all their money? Yeah it's just on the classifying
[6:50]
employees. Firefighters cost more money than administrative and street workers and
[6:56]
So they want to make sure you're not under reporting and try to cheat them.
[7:02]
That's all I got.
[7:04]
Sounds good.
[7:11]
Okay, I guess we'll go on to the zoning.
[7:13]
There's nothing here on zoning.
[7:14]
I don't see anyone here.
[7:17]
Anyone you got anything on zoning?
[7:18]
Yeah, I'll just mention that are at our previous trustee meeting, we made a temporary
[7:23]
appointment to point Kevin Chapman as our interim zoning inspector mostly to fill out
[7:28]
permits and
[7:31]
Just do basic stuff for the time being
[7:35]
We talked about the zoning inspector position when we get out of the other section. Yeah
[7:41]
Yes, we what's that we can't wait till the next time we're gonna have to set up a meeting or something to yep
[7:47]
Yeah, yeah, talk to all these people. Yeah. Yeah
[7:50]
Have we got four, isn't it? No, we actually have more than that. We have I think seven now
[7:54]
So we have a pretty good poor way from so yeah, I saw four. I didn't see the other three
[7:59]
I have to figure out how to get you guys copies of the other resumes because they're on indeed and I can't figure out how to
[8:05]
I was trying to share them via email, but it doesn't give me an option for that. I'll probably just have to manually print them
[8:11]
And then drop them off in your boxes so you can check them out
[8:13]
But it's just let us know when you drive them off. I don't come here every day. Yeah
[8:18]
Okay, we'll move on to the fire department. I don't see anybody here for the fire department either
[8:24]
So I guess being moved on to maintenance department. There's no one here for the maintenance department
[8:28]
but I talked to Kevin quite a bit. He's been working on the pumps when he's
[8:34]
not doing zoning.
[8:37]
Both of us I called on it too. We were supposed to get that
[8:40]
four inches of rain and we were worried about the Wallace Road pump wasn't
[8:45]
working right and he got him to at least work on manual or whatever so we
[8:51]
recovered for that heavy rain which we never got luckily and I can't think
[8:57]
what else he's just doing maintenance?
[9:02]
Anything else? You got to think for anything?
[9:05]
Nope. Okay, we'll move on to Old Business and Data Center, more atorium. I don't know
[9:11]
what's that here for. Oh, Bo just left me a note when I talked to him or gave me a note
[9:16]
when I talked to him earlier today. He mentioned that first energy brought through a tour group
[9:21]
that came through Jerusalem Township and this tour group was a batch of investors from
[9:25]
Texas and from my understanding that we're looking around at options for data centers.
[9:31]
Yes.
[9:32]
I guess he just wanted to reinforce the Jerusalem timeship adopted that data center
[9:37]
moratorium that one of our previous trustee meetings.
[9:40]
About two meetings going to do.
[9:41]
Yeah.
[9:42]
That's all he had on that.
[9:44]
Yeah.
[9:44]
I talked to somebody about that too.
[9:47]
They said people were coming through, but whatever zoning inspector position, what are
[9:55]
any dates or anything? I was going to talk with you guys about that. I am pretty
[9:59]
booked all the way through until next Wednesday. You guys still need some time
[10:05]
to look at the resumes. Do you want to schedule interviews for the end of
[10:11]
next week? I put this in holiday though because it's the fourth. People may not be
[10:16]
around. Second, third, fourth. We can't let it go too long because Kevin doesn't want
[10:21]
want to do this very long? Sure, yeah. Do you want to shoot for the, I guess that'd be the first full
[10:27]
week of July, sometime between the 6th and the 10th? Yeah, let's do that. Okay. I don't know.
[10:34]
We'll have to have a special meeting. Sure. We're going to start at five o'clock or something like that.
[10:40]
Yeah, both can make it by then. Yeah, a special meeting for interviews. So what to do? Oh, you know,
[10:44]
it may be great if we don't have Friday and started for something because he's got Friday. Can you
[10:49]
You coming for it?
[10:49]
Yeah.
[10:50]
I can too.
[10:51]
So maybe we better figure, what's that Friday, would that be the 10th?
[10:56]
10th?
[10:57]
Does that make sense?
[10:58]
Yep.
[10:59]
Because I don't want to be here all night.
[11:00]
If we have 7.
[11:02]
Yeah.
[11:03]
Half hour for each at least.
[11:05]
Yeah.
[11:06]
You want to try that?
[11:07]
I'll put down 10 it for the 10th, I'll talk to Bo and confirm, and then I'll get you guys
[11:12]
those resumes.
[11:13]
Yeah, get those resumes.
[11:14]
I've read all the other ones pretty well.
[11:16]
Yeah.
[11:16]
Yeah, the other four but must have three more to read so yeah, that's a better ones that are these from to you or no
[11:23]
Not the other ones just the two that two of them that you've seen from the University of Toledo. There's other ones that applied
[11:30]
All different backgrounds so I'm related some not so
[11:34]
Okay, don't all right. I'll follow up with you guys on that. We'll get that figured out
[11:39]
I do have one more old business item also also from ball
[11:43]
he mentioned that the trees were getting delivered to the cemetery from North
[11:49]
Branch July 1st. Yeah, I wouldn't you know it's gonna get warm and hot. Yeah, not
[11:56]
good, but I guess whatever. So I got for old business. I noticed that they hadn't
[12:02]
been there. I drove by a few times. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think so.
[12:13]
We're gonna have to
[12:13]
water, I think.
[12:16]
I don't know if we should, we made, we ought to talk about that, made
[12:19]
me, I, we should set them back a little bit. Boy, I hate to plant them in the heat. Yeah,
[12:25]
that's going to be real brutal. Yeah. If we put it off the end of August or something,
[12:30]
it makes no difference to me personally. So if you want to do that, that's one of the
[12:33]
main. Well, they're guaranteed, you know, too, but whatever, I'll call up bow and talk to
[12:40]
Okay, I'll talk I'll I'll talk to North branch do and then I'll talk to boat too
[12:48]
Which you know it. Yeah, they're finally getting caught up. I suppose
[12:53]
Okay, the Lake Ury West Regional
[12:56]
Council webinar. It was actually pretty good. I
[13:02]
There's only about four of us on it. I don't know what it was, but
[13:06]
It was interesting because Mike molten was there and he's the Middleton township trustee that
[13:12]
He has the big data centers down there and he started talking about that and it's very very interesting and different things about data centers
[13:20]
So I thought that was pretty interesting and I've met him in different meetings
[13:25]
So I've kind of got if we ever talk about him or whatever he'd be a good gentleman to bring in and talk to because he knows all about him
[13:33]
Because that's a huge data center down there in 25 and what 582
[13:38]
you, they did talk about like decommission agreement, he just brought that up, you know,
[13:49]
in case these things go away in 20 years, what are they going to do with these buildings,
[13:52]
you know?
[13:52]
Sure, yeah.
[13:53]
So he said that was something they're putting in, there's something new, I guess, because
[13:58]
who knows, things change so quick.
[14:00]
Then we started talking about state property tax, which will not happen because they didn't
[14:08]
enough signatures but they're they're not going to stop at that. They're going to keep going
[14:13]
on about it. So it's always going to be there. And I guess that's about it. It didn't last
[14:21]
too long because there's only four of us. But it was interesting.
[14:27]
Okay.
[14:34]
Move on to John Burrell. I got
[14:36]
some information from John. He's a John wrote here based on the information that I have the meeting
[14:44]
on the zoning change was not properly noticed. Therefore, the zoning change is invalid, so
[14:50]
I don't know what talent we're going to do.
[14:56]
You know about this because you challenged
[14:58]
one for it.
[15:00]
So that's what he said. So we're going to have to do something about that. That's unfortunate. That's in reference to the one at
[15:08]
quarterway road. Yeah. Yeah.
[15:15]
Well, it was a day off on the other one too. So you're whatever you know, and yeah, just unfortunate. How that came about. Yeah. Oh, and then I got this. I'm going to read this from Jacob Barnes.
[15:29]
he was talking to Mr. Burrell and I'll just read this off. The complaint submitted to the
[15:35]
Lucas County Prosecutor's Office was reviewed by John Burrell. Mr. Burrell did not see anything
[15:41]
illegal that Rob or Jacob did. He said the Lucas County Prosecutor's Office will issue an
[15:47]
official statement soon. Rob and Jacob had nothing against Jerusalem Township and went to move on.
[15:55]
So that was, that will be coming here pretty quick on that was from Jacob that's from Jacob, but he talked to Mr.
[16:03]
Burrell and Mr. Burrell said that it will be coming pretty soon from the an official statement from the
[16:10]
prosecutor's office. Okay.
[16:15]
Waterline access road.
[16:18]
Right there yet for a second.
[16:20]
Well, I'm going to send this to bowl.
[16:22]
Oh, okay.
[16:25]
Waterline road access.
[16:27]
Right there at decant.
[16:30]
And what's that decant?
[16:32]
And seater point.
[16:35]
Katie, second year of lives up there.
[16:38]
And a nice old dial house, I call it.
[16:40]
And right next to her is where the waterline's going.
[16:43]
And she's got people with cycles and motorbikes
[16:46]
and everything going there.
[16:47]
So I called up the the one. What was his name?
[16:54]
We both met him
[16:57]
From the city of Toledo. Yeah
[17:00]
Jake. Yeah, it's Jake. I can't think it was last name. No, he has this Jake and he he said they were talking about putting up
[17:08]
I've gazed or something but not till later on
[17:11]
So he was gonna go out look at the situation and maybe talk to Katie and so
[17:17]
We'll see what happens there, but I guess it's a nice thing for motorbikes and everything.
[17:21]
You know, because they've cut it now before it was just a jungle and nobody used it.
[17:26]
Couldn't get through there. Yeah.
[17:27]
Well, nobody even knew the pipe was there.
[17:30]
So I got to know that they wouldn't cross my property by marker again.
[17:35]
They plowed down the more.
[17:37]
Yeah. Have you had any trouble with them?
[17:40]
Motorbikes are for wheelers.
[17:41]
You were here, but I don't know if they're on here or not.
[17:43]
Yeah. I guess they're using it quite quite often.
[17:46]
and that's the only complaint I ever had was her.
[17:54]
So I guess that's it on the waterline and road access
[17:56]
and you got the FEMA grant.
[17:59]
Next item?
[18:00]
Yeah, number four.
[18:02]
Oh boy, okay.
[18:04]
That's a, I'm gonna pull my email here about it.
[18:06]
That has consumed my last few weeks.
[18:10]
The taxpayers of Jerusalem Township
[18:12]
are getting their monies worth on me for the past few weeks
[18:14]
because that was one heck of a application process that's still not completed yet.
[18:20]
There's three or four different steps.
[18:31]
So that particular grant is called the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant.
[18:38]
It is available for flood mitigation projects, such as the project we've been working on,
[18:46]
in the Rio Beach Howard Farms area all the way down the route route two for the past few years.
[18:53]
The application is through FEMA, so it's a federal grant, quite an extensive application.
[19:03]
You would not leave the stuff that they ask for in this application. They want to know about
[19:09]
historical buildings and structures near the levees. They want to know about
[19:14]
So potential hazardous materials, farmland preservation, it just goes on and on and on
[19:19]
the different things they want to know about.
[19:23]
So I'm still working on it.
[19:24]
I haven't given up on it yet.
[19:26]
However, one issue that we've run into, and I'm trying to work with them to figure this
[19:29]
out, so the issue is hazard mitigation assistance funds may be used to pay up to 75% federal
[19:37]
share of the eligible activity costs.
[19:41]
So 75% of three or four million dollars to fix that is a lot of money.
[19:46]
You know, that leaves us looking for eight or nine hundred thousand dollars to,
[19:51]
you know, come up with a local match for that project.
[19:54]
I could have swore I read somewhere that there was an opportunity for a hundred percent coverage
[19:59]
where there was no match funds. I'm still trying to work with them to find that information.
[20:03]
But let's see, you guys have any idea where we can find some funds at?
[20:08]
things are getting real tight. Yeah, this war is just taking everything. Yeah, nothing,
[20:13]
there's nothing there. Yeah, and we've already we've applied the state through Elgin Roder's office.
[20:17]
He helped us out with an application through him. I haven't heard anything back on that yet.
[20:21]
I'm assuming we didn't get any funds, but that's why my flat grant was. I had gotten some prior to
[20:28]
that for 80,000 or better, and here we get what, 35 or something, you know, it's joking, oh yeah.
[20:33]
Yeah, so the application does not do the final application to FEMA's not do until the end
[20:40]
of July.
[20:41]
And right now I'm working with somebody, let's see what this office is called, Ohio Emergency
[20:48]
Management Agency.
[20:50]
They've got a mitigation specialist that I've been working with and we've just been working
[20:54]
back and forth on the application.
[20:56]
So we'll proceed if there's a way we can apply without a match and go for 100% federal share
[21:02]
but otherwise will never be able to. Otherwise, they won't even let you apply unless you have a letter of funding to guarantee that there's that other 25% available.
[21:14]
I'll keep working with them for the next few weeks, but that's for that stance.
[21:17]
Okay, okay, okay, uh, Permit Requirement Inquiry, uh, lady called me up about,
[21:29]
there's no road, you can't road, and on Dota Road, which they, they will cross our roads
[21:34]
when they put the pipeline in, and, uh, we have nothing in zoning, I told her, and, uh, and the,
[21:42]
the county was going to help us out too.
[21:45]
And we'll just put road signs up probably.
[21:48]
And so, yeah, as far as the technical requirements,
[21:52]
that's all county.
[21:54]
And it was mostly all, we read that maybe both of us.
[21:56]
And yeah, the county's going to help us out for everything.
[22:02]
Checking the H2O ditches.
[22:06]
Big cooling is, it got set back a little bit.
[22:10]
They think they're still going to start it
[22:12]
and October, September, October, it still has to get bid, the EPA has given them a pull
[22:19]
on their hair out with them, and so the big coolie should start this fall. And the Johnson
[22:26]
ditch, they're working on that, that could, that could work next year to get ditched, cleaned
[22:31]
with H2O money. And I think this is the last year for that H2O money, so I tried to sign
[22:39]
up another ditch wolfcrick but they said wolfcrick wouldn't work it was too
[22:45]
wide already there's there's there's some requirements I guess but I found
[22:50]
this other ditch frida grditch and so they're gonna check that one out and see
[22:55]
if they can maybe work and get some money for that it's all it's all free money
[22:59]
like that big cooling ditch is like $800,000 to clean it then you know to
[23:04]
brush and clean it. So it's that cost us anything. So yeah. So that that's where we
[23:11]
said on those H2O ditches. And I got a question for you. I got one more here on the new business.
[23:19]
This Austin class stopped in and wanted to know why you were asking about back taxes on those
[23:26]
uncles across the road. I didn't know anything about it. What's the thing? Austin glass.
[23:34]
I said I
[23:35]
I didn't know anything about it, and I would ask he said you would send some paperwork to him.
[23:39]
I was asking about back taxes.
[23:41]
Huh.
[23:42]
Do you have his number or anything?
[23:43]
Uh, not here, but I got it at home.
[23:46]
I didn't put it on my paper here.
[23:47]
I have no clue unless I'm going to send it to you.
[23:50]
I'll be able to reach out to me and ask me a question.
[23:52]
I have no idea.
[23:53]
Okay, I'll email his number to you and we'll go from there.
[23:57]
I don't think I got it.
[24:01]
Yeah, I have no idea because I'm wearing a belt in me.
[24:04]
It didn't make sense because we don't collect taxes or anything so I didn't know you know
[24:09]
Didn't make that the township was or me specifically you
[24:12]
Specifically, I thought yeah, so that's why that's why I just want to ask it
[24:17]
I'll give these number and you straighten them out. Yeah, I have no clue. Okay
[24:25]
And we did you did straighten out that I've known deposit then I didn't that's all straightened up. What was it again?
[24:32]
Okay.
[24:32]
Uh, it is a fire department for services.
[24:40]
Oh, over at the park.
[24:40]
That's right.
[24:41]
Okay.
[24:47]
Uh, any other new business?
[24:49]
Yeah.
[24:50]
It's been working on that great project.
[24:53]
It's been about it.
[24:54]
Okay.
[24:55]
Upcoming events.
[24:57]
I don't know why the virtual caucus is on here, but it is.
[25:00]

[25:01]
Uh, the Lake Erie West Regional Regional Regional Council Assembly is, uh, the City of
[25:07]
July the 20th at 1 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. and it's at the Kataba Island Club.
[25:16]
Nancy, yeah, it used to be at one of the schools or, you know
[25:24]
And I'm going to clue not a clue. Yeah, I don't either
[25:35]
I've never been there so that this is going to be
[25:37]
quite a change.
[25:42]
Got anything else? No, that's pretty much it.
[25:46]
Covered about everything. That's the one, the public participation.
[25:52]
Anybody got any thing to talk about? Sandy, where you at?
[25:59]
Yes?
[25:59]
I'll say the question about the ducks on women when they have the ribbon cutting did they say they were completely about the project that the man
[26:05]
Clown on Cedar Plank Road. Oh, can you state your name for the record?
[26:11]
I know we're how long 84-10 Cedar Point Road. The print here of the ducks on women thing and it was probably got this from
[26:19]
where with the county. It clearly says the permit plan is not for construction but they don't come through them did all their
[26:25]
construction and if you come up and you write and where the cabins are at the
[26:30]
Mammy Bay State Park if you go back to where the where you turn around you can go
[26:34]
right up to the and see where the solder ditches and they left that bank
[26:39]
bare dirt that is all bare dirt and that water is going to come up and that's
[26:43]
going to cut right across that daik and it's going to fill that entire marsh and
[26:46]
that's going to fill over you know 250 miles a lake that's 50 miles wide all
[26:50]
that water is going to come somewhere and it's going to come through right
[26:53]
in my house and my neighbor's house and some people have done this, it's not very nice.
[26:59]
I can get in the gate, I know the combination and I'll drive down there on the side of
[27:05]
the state.
[27:07]
It's terrible, I mean that was parking lot, there's stuff, you know, there's rocks and stuff
[27:12]
parked here, there's debris left over here, there's a fuel tank sitting in here, did they
[27:16]
just leave town and that's it?
[27:17]
I see there's stone there, I've been down here a few times.
[27:20]
You know, the neighbor, man, he went to work with his tractor or there and got him a big scoop and he put it in his end of the driveway
[27:25]
Then he's laying in the front of his pocket like he's you know like he died or something like I'm gonna go over there
[27:29]
And do something about him laying in front of his tractor
[27:31]
Yeah, okay. I'll drive down there and work
[27:37]
I went to
[27:39]
I used to go the time rate so yeah in
[27:42]
January 24th I went to the United States Army Corps, but engineers
[27:46]
downtown to library and
[27:48]
They did a presentation on the Shea, and it was very interesting that the girl from Channel 13 was the weather girl's air in Ashley was the only one in the audience besides me.
[27:58]
And as she left town so, but they talk about, you know, the Shea event.
[28:04]
Lake Erie, the shallowest of Great Lakes, experiences drastic fluctuations of water levels due to a stepped orientation and wind.
[28:11]
Storm systems over the lake can create constant winds which push the water in the same direction the wind is blowing.
[28:17]
and effect known as a storm surge. After wind and pressure subside, water pushed to one end of the lake
[28:24]
rebounds to the opposite end and creates a sloshing known as a shea. Shea's offering referred to as the
[28:31]
bathtub effect, a shea can last for hours and even days causing significant flooding at one end of the
[28:37]
lake and low water at the other. And I see that I lived on the dyke and I've watched and I see
[28:41]
that this lake empty. Yeah. I've seen this lake fill. So this is only a matter of time.
[28:46]
Oh, you're right. That's a hard one to spell. It's right here. It's a C-I-C-H-E.
[28:54]
What was it? This thing? There was like that. It's probably 30 or 40 feet of beach at that
[29:01]
one day.
[29:05]
I will bite you better. I hope there's no fatalities as far as my
[29:11]
We got sandbags ready, you know, about five years ago, and nothing ever happened, you know, and
[29:18]
Well, you'll be able to see it because it's going to cut right here, then right there at the state park,
[29:22]
we can share those clubbing areas, we're going to help the colony engineer in our club, the engineer is pretty good at doing the job.
[29:28]
That's a pretty good guy, yeah, we're going to keep an eye on this because we don't want people to get hurt for no reason at all.
[29:35]
somebody come up there and snap that old marsh together the the contractors
[29:41]
come to Michigan and I believe the hands told me that they were working under
[29:44]
the Michigan DNR and they're doing that you know so the funny money that they got
[29:49]
paid come from the Michigan DNR to go on there and work on the Ohio, Ohio, Ohio,
[29:56]
Ducks are aluminum probably had something to do with it all too, so it...
[30:00]
Yeah, it's funny money going back and forth. Yeah.
[30:04]
Thank you. Anyone else?
[30:12]
Boy, I can't believe Sandy's
[30:13]
right here. This is just really bad. Okay. I need a motion then. I'll make a motion to adjourn.
[30:22]
I'll second that. Dave Bench. Yes. Alex Lutton. Yes. Bill Miller. Time is 730. Got her.
