1 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:08,240 Well, you should be a >> clear 2 00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:14,160 to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it 3 00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:19,880 stands. One nation under God, indivisible, liberty and justice for 4 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,880 all. 5 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,480 » Can you just tap on it to make sure? 6 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,519 You know, I don't need this, right? 7 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,600 » Thank you everybody for joining us this evening. 8 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:51,520 » All right, here it goes. >> We're going to start this evening with a 9 00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:56,079 guest, uh, Adam Whitkkey from the Lake County Health Department. Why don't you 10 00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:00,879 join us this evening? Welcome, Adam. >> Thank you. The floor is yours. 11 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,280 » All right. Uh, Adam Licky, the health commissioner for Lake County. I just 12 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,560 want to say thank you all for having me out. Um, but I wanted to share some 13 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,640 positive information with all of you. I'm going to each of the subdivisions or 14 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,840 towns villages in Lake County. Uh, through some really diligent budgeting 15 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,320 and kind of very conservative uh, outlooks for the future. We were able to 16 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,880 reduce our budget for this year and or sorry for 2027 and 2028 looks like by 17 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,240 about a million dollars. And so by doing that, we're actually going to offer a 18 00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:30,640 refund back to the uh community to help fund the health department and Leroy for 19 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:35,040 one will be about $20,000 refund this year. Well, 2.7 uh looks like 2028 and 20 00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:39,119 then we're looking to see if we can still do it in 2029 as well. And a lot 21 00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:42,159 of that through efficiencies, contracts with different sources and other things 22 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,399 to kind of lower our expenses on that side and maximize what all you provide 23 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,399 to us. Uh because you guys really want to make it healthy possible. So I wanted 24 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,320 to share that let you guys know what that is. there's no reductions in 25 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:58,399 services, no reduction in staffing. Um, a lot of this is really the CO dollars 26 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,399 uh that came in. The health department did not take those dollars and like 27 00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:06,000 raise salaries exponentially or spend on things we didn't need. Uh, and so now 28 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,959 we're looking at saying, "Hey, we have these dollars in the bank. We don't have 29 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,680 a use for them. So, we're going to return it back to you guys so you can do 30 00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:14,720 what you need with your community." Obviously, the hope is something health 31 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,000 related or if we can, you know, do something outdoor related. You know, 32 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:20,640 we're all outdoor fans. Uh, so something like that. But we wanted to make that 33 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:26,560 available to you guys and we'll be reissuing that on your 2027 tax 34 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:32,319 assessment for the first and second uh half tax assessments you guys do. Um any 35 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,080 questions from your guys' side? >> I would just like to say it's not often 36 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,760 that government gives money back. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 37 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,440 » And you didn't have to. You volunteered. So 38 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,879 » yes, we did. You know, lightning does strike once in a while. So uh that is 39 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,840 our goal. Um I don't mean to detach. I do have one more meeting tonight on the 40 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,680 other side of the county that I have to go to, but I'm leaving my most trusted 41 00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:58,080 advisor, Gina Parker, here should you have any questions, she will answer 42 00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:01,840 everything and do it as as graciously as possible. She knows it all, so give her 43 00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:05,519 the hard questions once I leave. >> No pressure, Gina. 44 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,519 » Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. >> All right. Thank you. If you guys need 45 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,879 anything else, let me know. And hopefully I'll be able to tell you this 46 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:12,720 again next year as well for 2028. So, >> thank you so much. 47 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:18,000 » Thank you. >> Take care. 48 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,000 » Yeah. 49 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,879 Is there any? 50 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:36,280 » Yes. I was like I put something in the right spot. 51 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:36,280 » Um I have a motion. 52 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,720 » Second. >> Roy seconds. 53 00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:49,200 » I already wrote that you did. >> It's okay. Um 75 54 00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,200 » uh and this is for post uh of the meeting in August 20th. 55 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,080 » Yes. >> Yes. Uh Linda Berenny. 56 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,280 » Hi. >> Rich Campel. 57 00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:59,840 » Hi. >> Ry Gray. 58 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:07,200 » Hi. >> All right. under administrative. As you 59 00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:14,400 know, we uh were blessed to receive a grant of money from the state capital 60 00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:20,320 bill to be used to uh revamp the um Leo Land Lab walking trail. And uh in order 61 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:26,320 to get that process moving, we have to send them a packet of information. 62 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:30,400 And um based on um preliminary results from our survey, it looks like everybody 63 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,320 is pretty much in favor of us going forward with that and making that 64 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:41,520 15-year commitment to keep that property a park. Um so I started working on the 65 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:47,440 packet and in the packet they asked us, are there any isolated wetlands in there 66 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:53,199 and is the union muscles habitat threatened? I'm like I don't know. 67 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,759 contacted soil and water and soil and water is helping us with that. And one 68 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:03,840 of the things we have to do to get a response to that question for this 69 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:12,800 packet is fill out a Ohio natural heritage data request and that's this. 70 00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:18,080 And it then has to be sent um sent back to soil and water and they will 71 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:21,759 submit it so that we can get an answer back to put in our packet. But it 72 00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:25,120 requires a signature and I didn't want to sign it without you guys knowing 73 00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:28,880 about it and saying that that's okay with you. It's to keep the process 74 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,520 going. >> Yeah, 75 00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:35,360 » they pretty much said they didn't think the union muscle was going to be 76 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:40,960 effective because there's no running water on the property. So, yay. So, I 77 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:46,960 will go ahead and sign this and get it back to them tomorrow. 78 00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:50,960 Um, do we want a motion for that to grant me permission to sign it? Do you 79 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,880 want to see it? 80 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,280 » I'll make the motion just cover. 81 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,319 » Hi. >> Thank you for that. Uh there was a 82 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,560 couple of things I wanted to bring up that are not on the agenda but under the 83 00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:20,400 administrative thing. I did hear back from the prosecutor's office on the um 84 00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:24,800 updates to our policy manual. I have responded to her uh to try to set up a 85 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,199 meeting because there's just a few things left to clean up and she has not 86 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:34,880 got back to me. But that is still moving and I may need to have you and you to 87 00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,560 help me with that because some of the things that she asked had to do with 88 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:43,840 things you do and things that you guys do and that's kind of wasted on me. I 89 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,759 don't know the answers to those, but I want to get that to the finish line. Uh, 90 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:52,560 the other thing is, as you know, we passed a cyber security policy. Part of 91 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,960 that policy is to have it distributed to all the employees and to have them read 92 00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:01,039 it and sign the acknowledgement. I'm just reminding you, please do that 93 00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:05,199 because the acknowledgement needs to go in the personnel files. So, if you 94 00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:10,479 haven't done that, can we keep keep that process moving? And if you have any 95 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:15,199 questions, let me know. um fiscal office on this. 96 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:19,680 » If you guys could motion to pay the bills. 97 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:22,240 » I move we pay the bills. >> Linda Bhenny 98 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,560 » I >> Rich Campel. 99 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,919 » Roy Brit. >> Hi. 100 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:36,800 » Um also in your fiscal office slot you'll see um 101 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:41,680 I filled out uh let me backtrack. We there are two pieces of property that we 102 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:46,160 keep getting property bills, tax bills for. Uh we've talked about those earlier 103 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:50,479 this year. We put in the application to become tax exempt. It just never was 104 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:54,319 done when we took ownership of those properties and it was never done 105 00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:58,720 properly. We did all of that paperwork. We sent it 106 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:03,520 in. We have heard back on the school property. 107 00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:10,560 In the meantime, from when we filled out the applications and all the forms until 108 00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:17,520 we hear yes or no, we do have to make monthly payments as a delinquent tax. 109 00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:22,240 So, we are able now that the school property has been deemed that we qualify 110 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:28,479 for tax exempt and we no longer have that. We do have to fill out yet another 111 00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:37,159 form asking for all of those payments that we made in the meantime back. Um I 112 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,159 believe that the amount is $4,900 113 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:47,760 $712. So they all have um just says all that. 114 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:54,480 It asks for proof of all of our payments. I have all of those from the 115 00:08:50,560 --> 00:09:00,320 bank and um it needs a signature and a notary and so I would just ask if you 116 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:07,240 guys look over that if you agree with everything um if one of you guys could 117 00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:07,240 sign it and I will not 118 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:13,880 sign it. >> Yes. 119 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,480 and today's eight. >> Yes. 120 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,640 » I don't know how long it takes. I don't know how long it will take to get that 121 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:32,480 back. Um and we have not heard on our other property, just the school one. 122 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:35,760 » That's cuz we couldn't turn it in for quite a while because we were waiting 123 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,560 for determination from the auditor about how much we owed. 124 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:43,040 » I think it was like two months later. So hopefully in about another month or so, 125 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:47,880 I'm expecting it. >> Okay. 126 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,880 » Yep. That's it for me. Fire, 127 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:57,200 » excuse me. For the month of August, we had three calls worth 476 for the year. 128 00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:01,279 Eight of them were fire, three EMS, one hazardous conditions, four service 129 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,680 calls, four intent, two false alarms, and one specialist. 130 00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:16,160 » Yes, we have two applications to be approved tonight. um any background on 131 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:20,399 drug tests. One is for John VA. John's a career firefighter township. He worked 132 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:28,279 for us in the past personal reasons. We left him on good terms. Um he's asked if 133 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,279 you come back. So 134 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:37,200 » and then uh he'll be he'll be a big help. The only the only thing that we're 135 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:43,680 going to fight against is he's a big guy. He needs big gear. So township as 136 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:48,800 graciously let us borrow his gear in the second set of gear until we buy him gear 137 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:54,640 next year. So as long as he works 138 00:10:50,320 --> 00:11:01,680 first gear next we have pretty much uh the other 139 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:06,560 firefighter paramedic is Ryan Brewaker. Ryan's father worked fulltime for Perry. 140 00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:11,120 He worked part time for us. He's brand new. So we're here to learn 141 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:16,880 and he's actually a really good kid. He's done some right timers being better 142 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:23,760 for paramedics. So I think both of them be good for us. Um Brian Cooper will be 143 00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:28,720 sworn in as lieutenant on 9:17 at 6:30 in the evening 144 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:35,200 and our new ports have been ordered and our loopus device was able to be fixed 145 00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:39,440 » through uh um if we got paid for to have it fixed. that's up in the air. But uh 146 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:46,519 they're able to reach out to all the different texts out there. 147 00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:46,519 So it's working as 148 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,880 you 149 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:05,680 » uh roads they are finishing up hatching summer. They got a little bit a couple 150 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:11,200 holes on Proctor to do. Um Jennings is supposed to be done the middle of the 151 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:16,720 month by Chiaga Highway. Uh we have a big hole on Baker Roads we're going to 152 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:22,639 fix and a couple down here on Milton. We're trying to get all this done before 153 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:27,279 the weather turns and get all the roads ready to go and then start working on 154 00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:34,079 the trucks and the plows. And somebody made a donation uh over on Radcliffe 155 00:12:30,079 --> 00:12:40,240 Road over the weekend and um gave Rick and um 156 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:43,680 Al and Jake uh all new mattresses so they have a place to sleep. 157 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,680 somebody. >> No, they just dumped them on 158 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,959 a >> push. 159 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:10,800 I mean, >> put them in the field with the one that 160 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:15,839 has had for like four years. That's so gross. 161 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:19,320 It's been there for >> there for a while. 162 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,720 » Okay. >> Okay. 163 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,720 » Cemeteries. >> Okay. 164 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,480 » Can you hear them? We hear you sitting next to you. 165 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:47,040 » No. Okay. Okay, we had one burial and one remation 166 00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:52,480 determent this week last week and uh 167 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:59,279 got another burial this this week Friday. As far as the restoration 168 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:02,720 people, they I called them again today, but I haven't 169 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:10,959 heard back. They should be here next week.

It's like an 221 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:56,799 insulated tank. Um, but Conqueror is going to go over that with us and then 222 00:17:55,360 --> 00:18:01,600 we're going to see how it works and if it works for us, which everyone I've 223 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:07,520 talked to said that's what you guys need for three people on your road.

They're going to get 237 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,760 in there and remove them, including the roots. It is a horrible job. And clean 238 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,720 up everything all around it so that it can be usable.

I mean, that's just, you know, people are talking about volunteering 343 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:50,720 and so just throwing it out there rather than us paying somebody, you know, 344 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:58,559 somebody wants to get a group of four or five people each take a diamond. 345 00:27:55,360 --> 00:28:04,480 » How many bleachers are there? >> Basically, there's two at each diamond, 346 00:28:00,399 --> 00:28:07,120 but there's not um the one on 86 only has one. 347 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,880 » And a couple are aluminum. >> Yeah, a couple are aluminum. So, there's 348 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:16,559 going to be six diamonds, probably about 10. 349 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:22,640 » And you know, it just has to be rolled on the top and seal the ends and 350 00:28:19,679 --> 00:28:27,520 » you know, get some bare stain or some, you know, penetrating stain. Just you 351 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:33,120 had to wait. Treated lumber, you have to wait before you can apply it. So 352 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,960 just throwing it out. >> And it works better if you brush it in 353 00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:43,080 than roll it on. If you roll it on, you need to brush it in. 354 00:28:37,919 --> 00:28:43,080 » Yeah. Otherwise, it won't see it. 355 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:52,440 » Pay for supplies. >> Yeah. Township pay for supplies. Yes. 356 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,440 Open my mouth and certifies. 357 00:28:53,679 --> 00:28:59,200 » Yes. >> Somehow. Yes. 358 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:04,480 » Cuz I just about spent out the last I had for the playground. 359 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:08,000 » We can talk to the people buckets of money for stuff like that. 360 00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:09,520 should only be a couple hundred bucks, >> right? 361 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:15,679 » Yes. >> Is that something that could be put out 362 00:29:11,679 --> 00:29:18,399 to the all the soft or the the ball kids and not the kids, but maybe the parents, 363 00:29:17,679 --> 00:29:22,399 » right? >> Utilize it on on a regular basis. Maybe 364 00:29:20,399 --> 00:29:26,559 they maybe we'd have a ton of people from that group because, you know, 365 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:32,000 that's a lot of people. Maybe they if we could somehow get it 366 00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:38,320 » them notified the Facebook page or the Johnson sites. One thing we can do, you 367 00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:43,360 know, that the um we added a question to the survey about a volunteer core and 368 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:48,320 there are some people that have have said they would. However, what I'm able 369 00:29:45,679 --> 00:29:52,960 to see is a box with just a bunch of names in it, but not together. So, I 370 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:58,159 contacted the lady who's running that for us today about can you filter this 371 00:29:56,399 --> 00:30:02,320 so that I can get these names? and I haven't heard back from her yet, but 372 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:08,279 that might be a bunch of people that we could also reach out to. I just I can't 373 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,279 see it yet. 374 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:15,440 » So, I hope all of you have participated in the survey. We've gotten some pretty 375 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:19,520 good response from it, and it's so helpful to have a real good sense of the 376 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,600 direction you want us to take on some of these different things. It's it's really 377 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:30,240 been beneficial to have that, and I appreciate that the planning commission 378 00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:36,240 helped us with that. Um, so Roy, do you want to kind of be in charge of the next 379 00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:37,840 steps for getting these things painted? >> Yeah. 380 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,480 » Okay. >> We'll uh we get those names and then 381 00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:45,760 I'll talk to softball, see if they have any money, see if they have some people 382 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,240 that might want to help >> and we'll just kind of put it out. 383 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:54,559 » Okay. >> You know, anybody else? We can get it 384 00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:59,279 either on the Droy page or the um our Facebook Tom the Township Facebook. 385 00:30:57,279 --> 00:31:03,600 » Probably both of them would be good. >> Usually Jeremy, if you ask him, he'll 386 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:09,919 push it from our page to the Lew People's page. So, 387 00:31:05,919 --> 00:31:12,559 » okay. Um you can put on the list. I'll help. 388 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:18,240 » Thank you. >> Um anything else for discussion from 389 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,240 anybody? Anything from the audience? >> Me. 390 00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:23,840 » Go ahead. get up on this. I think I got something 391 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,760 very important for the community and it's it's definitely affecting me and 392 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:35,360 I'm sure it's affecting some other people. Uh, everybody probably knows on 393 00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:42,000 November 15th we lose our copper uh telephone line. They're gone. Byebye. 394 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:45,840 » I saw your email. I have no clue on that. What's going on? 395 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:51,760 » I see. That's what I'm want. I'm flabbergasted that all you don't know 396 00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:56,159 about this. Didn't And didn't AT&T send things to everybody to tell them that 397 00:31:54,159 --> 00:32:00,159 the copper line is gone >> several years ago. That went out. 398 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:04,159 Several years ago. >> No, I can bring them in. I've got two of 399 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,120 them already over the last few few months. And actually, they sent them out 400 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:12,960 about six, nine months ago. >> You have to be an ongoing customer of 401 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:18,960 AT&T for your uh to get the communication. Not everybody has uh home 402 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:23,760 phones any longer. So they only will send that out if you are a present 403 00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:27,600 customer. >> But we don't have fiber optics here 404 00:32:25,919 --> 00:32:32,159 unless you want to get spectrum. >> So they have a monopoly. They can charge 405 00:32:29,919 --> 00:32:36,720 whatever they want, which is ridiculous. Um I don't really want their TV service. 406 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:41,679 Um all the other communities have fiber 407 00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:45,600 optics. In fact, there's a few on here in Leroy here and there that's been here 408 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:50,880 for a long time, too, is what I'm finding out. Um, but we need fiber 409 00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:55,840 optics here. Perry's just got the fiber optics in from kinetics. Um, Thompson's 410 00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:03,120 got it. Along had it. Pays Township has it. 411 00:32:59,679 --> 00:33:08,640 Paysville has it. Everybody's got it. Shard. But we don't. Why are we left out 412 00:33:06,399 --> 00:33:13,120 of this whole ordeal? I I don't understand. we should have the 413 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:18,640 opportunity of being able to connect the fiber optics as opposed to spectrum. Um 414 00:33:16,399 --> 00:33:24,000 I'm not going to deal with Spectrum. Um I don't like them. I don't trust them 415 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:30,000 and I'm sick of Direct TV and I'm s and basically the same thing. They all get 416 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:35,840 the same shows. So anyways, I won't have uh let's see, since I don't 417 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:42,480 have copper lines, I can't have my my service for my security unless I go with 418 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:47,919 wireless and it's going to cost me a fortune to do that in my shop at my 419 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:52,320 home. Um so I spoke to Kinetics, that's who's doing this all in the area and 420 00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:59,679 probably AT&T has done some in the past. In fact, there is some AT&T that's on it 421 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:06,480 goes part of that way to Carter. Another one runs all the way over to Niffin 422 00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:12,800 where the tower is the cell tower and it's been and this has been there for 423 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:16,320 years 20 years or better and but we can't tie into it. You probably know 424 00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:19,960 about this. >> I know this by 425 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:28,800 you. Yeah. Yeah. And so I um I would really like these fiber optics because 426 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:32,320 we would be giving it great service at a very low price compared to all this 427 00:34:30,399 --> 00:34:37,040 other especially if you want to dump spectrum and you're tired of that. You 428 00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:41,760 have that opportunity. Um I I believe we need it and I think it's wrong that our 429 00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:45,760 community is left out. And in speaking to kinetics, it's real simple. All you 430 00:34:44,079 --> 00:34:52,320 got to do is make a phone call and say, "Hey, yeah, we want it." the more people 431 00:34:48,399 --> 00:34:57,920 that call, especially our board that responds to them, um they'll they'll 432 00:34:55,919 --> 00:35:02,160 come out with the engineers, they'll go over everything and get everything set 433 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,839 up and install it here like they've just done Perry, like they just done 434 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:12,320 Thompson. Um it it would be great. Um we need it. We have to have it. I would 435 00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:16,480 like it. The only other what thing I can do now um since I don't want to go the 436 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:23,520 spectrum route is I have to go with Starlink. It's the only thing I can do 437 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:28,000 and that it's it's kind of disappointing that we're stuck with very little 438 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:33,680 options to have communications these days and I don't have to use my phone to 439 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:36,720 do it. I like using my computer. Uh it's a lot better for me. 440 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,079 » So do you have a number there for kinetic? 441 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:42,440 » Yes, I do. >> What is it? It is 8449902887. 442 00:35:45,359 --> 00:35:50,240 Everybody write this down and make phone call. Come on, Al. Write it on your arm 443 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:54,480 if you want a tablet. Did >> you find out what their what their how 444 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:58,800 much the payment is for the month? >> Yes, it wasn't a whole lot of money. 445 00:35:57,119 --> 00:36:04,000 It's like 50 bucks or something like that. It was It was very reasonable 446 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:08,480 connection. And and and and who who did I talk about this that is so happy that 447 00:36:05,839 --> 00:36:12,240 it just came on his street on Valentine? Chuck Flo. I think we all know. And he's 448 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,960 tickled pink. >> Repeat the number. 449 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:19,880 » Oh, I'm sorry everybody. Let me go over this a few times with the number. It's 450 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,880 8449902887 451 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:31,599 and that's kinetics. Um there'll be nice lady that'll answer. She'll be very 452 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:35,440 workable. The people are great. I mean >> the group on 322 there 453 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:39,359 » I don't know that that I can't tell you I didn't ask that 454 00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:43,040 but you know that that would be great for our community and then again what 455 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:47,599 are everybody going to do about their security systems in there that they if 456 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:53,040 you have security you have to go through that copper mine otherwise how you going 457 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:57,520 to have security unless you go the same route and you 458 00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:04,839 have to buy the whole unit reach your locations to go and send it up in the 459 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,839 Yeah, on our end we have Spectrum. 460 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:11,040 » I don't know. Well, here's here. Let me explain about Spectrum. Here's another 461 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:14,000 » We're not going there. We know what to do. You want us to call 462 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:18,400 » I can't get Spectrum unless I pay $20,000 463 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:25,520 because that's what they want to run at 900 ft to my home, a cable. $20,000 464 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,680 kinetics and see what we can find out that 465 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,520 » I I think that's very important for our community. 466 00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:31,599 » I think that is too. We thank you for letting us know. 467 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,440 » Well, thank you everyone. >> Thank you. 468 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:38,320 » Thanks, Lee. >> Anything else from the audience tonight? 469 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:41,599 » Our next go. >> Uh, since the survey I think was talked 470 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,839 at the special meeting, when is the survey going to be open till 471 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:49,119 » um, we were going to let it run for about two months and I think it's been 472 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,119 running for a couple of weeks already. Yeah, 473 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:57,200 » really good response like in the first two days almost 100 people. It was I was 474 00:37:53,839 --> 00:38:04,079 surprised and pleased. So, um, yeah, a couple months. I'll get a firm date and 475 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:09,440 I will announce that on the 22nd. Let's close our survey. 476 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:15,359 Anything else? All right. Is the 22nd. Thank you 477 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,359 everybody.
