I know you have. 27 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:31,120 » Well, that's that's good. But I I'm wondering why they do what they do. I 28 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:36,879 mean, I've lived here all my life, but I've never seen it like it is now. 29 00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:38,959 » And dump days. 30 00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:42,720 » Dump days. >> I see we're having two on the east side 31 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:49,120 and one over here. >> Yes, he was able to get Laz was able to 32 00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:53,760 get a dump day in May. Uh and so, but only one. So he decided we'd do it on 33 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,000 the east side for the first year and then next year we'd do it on the west 34 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:03,280 side. We'd alternate the May dump day. Of course, anybody can go to either dump 35 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,280 day, whether you live on the east side or the west side, you can drive over to 36 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:14,480 the east side uh for the May dump day as well. But then the next year we'll have 37 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:18,879 the May dump day here in Tent. >> All right. Thanks, 38 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:24,400 » Dave. My name's Dave Jacqueline. I've lived in the township for over 30 years. 39 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:29,360 I voted in a new board five years ago. It was my opinion that the old board got 40 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:34,159 too complacent. At that time, a new fireh hall was anticipated, but was 41 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:39,599 never developed. Uh granted, L uh the roads have improved 42 00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:43,840 during your tenure, but you and Mike Corky's interest in attending paid 43 00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:49,599 meetings for the sake of attending paid meetings was unacceptable. 44 00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:54,400 This township has a very capable fire chief and some very capable board 45 00:03:51,840 --> 00:04:01,040 members that can advance the process of of developing and updating the fire 46 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:05,519 hall. Land Mike Gorki should get out of the way and stop repeating the progress 47 00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:10,560 those on the board that can make this and other benefits to the township have. 48 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:15,840 I would think it's beneficial to keep the firewall item on the agenda each 49 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:21,440 monthly meeting so we can measure its progress. 50 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:25,479 And could you please post this letter? >> Will you give me a copy of that? 51 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400 » Anyone else? 52 00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:44,120 There will be another opportunity for public comment at the end. 53 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,120 So, 54 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:53,600 okay. So, we have our agenda in front of us. Now's the time to either approve or 55 00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:57,680 and to revise the agenda. Do I have a motion to approve or item? 56 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,680 » I'll make the motion to approve as stated. 57 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:07,199 » Any second? Okay. All in favor? 58 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,600 Then we also have for next item is the approval of the minutes from the board 59 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:25,880 of trustee meeting from December 8, 2025. 60 00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:25,880 You guys had a chance to read those. 61 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:36,479 Any discussion? All in favor? 62 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,479 Motion pass. 63 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:46,240 Um, next you guys got your board of packets.

So we have a motion. You have 67 00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:08,880 any questions? first of all about >> I had one question and why electric 68 00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:14,000 seemed way higher than previously >> I didn't notice that but it might have 69 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:18,479 been an actual rather than an estimate but I didn't notice the 70 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,000 » I mean it should be pretty consistent >> yeah 71 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,680 the lighting itself >> yeah the electric for the lighting the 72 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,919 actual electric bill >> which that includ feet, right? I talk 73 00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:33,039 about for the library or for >> for the lighting. 74 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:37,840 » For for which one? I think we had two two lighting bills. Was it the $800 one? 75 00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:43,360 » So, yes. >> Okay. So you get about $800 that exam 76 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:47,479 every month >> and it might have been the estimate 77 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,080 because 78 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,759 the Christmas tree 79 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,759 and and the other decor I 80 00:07:11,919 --> 00:07:19,720 Do I have a um motion to favor those motion? 81 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,720 » Second. 82 00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:25,240 All in favor? 83 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:39,240 » Okay. Next is the is the monthly treasur report. All right. Cash on hand. 567,000 84 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,240 $279.37. 85 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:47,759 Um, we did get all of our final documents from the auditor who finally 86 00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:51,840 sent me the general journal to get rid of that negative command. 87 00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:59,240 That would be the last time you're seeing that on. So that line disappears 88 00:07:55,039 --> 00:07:59,240 but lighting. 89 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,400 So 90 00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:11,800 do I have a motion to accept and file 91 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:20,360 any additional questions? All all in favor I 92 00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:29,160 all receive a quarter uh work report. 93 00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:37,839 Uh you can see because we're doing very well. Um this is the 75% of the budget 94 00:08:34,959 --> 00:08:43,519 on the far right you can see 75% of the budget has been um 95 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:48,480 um expenditures and so you say the general fund we're right at 75.4 four. 96 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:54,080 So, we're right on as far as uh the budget. Uh fire department is way under 97 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:58,640 budget of course. Um liquor fund right on budget. Uh street light fund and 98 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:04,480 that's completely uh wiped out. So, you can see that's 100%. Library fund is 99 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:10,720 under budget 35 65% of the budget. So, all funds were at 61%. So, we're right 100 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:15,839 on schedule as far as um following our budget. 101 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:20,000 Do I have a motion to file on acceptance report? 102 00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:26,560 » Second. >> All in favor? I think that I do want to 103 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:36,680 add one more thing. S mentioned that we finally got our um audit. Um they were 104 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:36,680 way way behind, but we did a little 105 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:43,360 and we got an email from the state saying where was it? So we forwarded 106 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:50,480 that and that's really the light fire I know. So we got the budget before um 107 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:54,240 basically we got the significant audit matters before they said we've 108 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,480 encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management performing 109 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:02,720 and completing our audit. Uh they said we're pleased to report that no 110 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:08,240 disagreements um arose during the course of our audit. Um you'll all get a bal 111 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:13,680 copy next month so that you can review that. The only thing that they said was 112 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:19,040 they say every audit it's a material um audit um adjustment that they consider a 113 00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:25,360 material weakness and they they consider it in every small township that we only 114 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:31,760 have five people to see it. And so you know we basically 115 00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:36,959 tell them uh the clerk and the treasurer u you do each other you the clerk and 116 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:42,399 the treasurer. So that's the best we can do. We don't have anybody else that can 117 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:48,480 that can uh follow up on it and we have an auditor every two years and we have 118 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:52,240 an S5 every year. So um they always say this and they always say as in the case 119 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:56,800 of the many small and even size governmental units. The township has 120 00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:01,040 historically relied on an independent external auditor which is them to assist 121 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:08,320 with the preparation of the financial document. And it'd be really wonderful 122 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:14,399 if we had they say this um somebody else that could annually do our financial 123 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:19,040 statement decide to we have to hire we have to hire somebody else. 124 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:26,480 So, but we this is this is a a very common um 125 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:31,760 everybody everybody gets it and they but what they say is our response to the 126 00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:36,240 township first with this fine either on this and we will we will require 127 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:42,959 appropriate sign offs with the second response person 128 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:49,839 which we do religiously. I mean Bobby uh when she when she balances accounts I 129 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:55,519 sign off then I write in we issue launch she signed off you guys sign off. So we 130 00:11:52,560 --> 00:12:01,839 have the best. So the audit went very well. So like I 131 00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:10,040 said next month you guys will get on top and it'll be filed really straight 132 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,040 up. That's that's good. 133 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:22,560 And then Bobby we are we balanced Bobby. We are balanced. So yeah. 134 00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:29,440 » All righty. So um next is our annual fire department report from our 135 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:33,040 fire chief. >> I'll uh I'll do the last quarter first. 136 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,360 » Okay. um 137 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:41,839 for that last quarter, 19 runs, 12 of them were fired, seven of them were 138 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:47,040 helping the ambulance. And of those 19 runs, eight were here on the top of the 139 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:52,639 east side, one was on the East Mullet side, nine were in Burke Township and 140 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,680 one um one structure fire for mutual outside of our districts. Um Bert one 141 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:03,920 was unfortunately that double fatal fire on Eagles Nest 142 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:09,399 and then the uh the actual call on east the east side was a significant fire 143 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,399 with a vehicle fire. 144 00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:19,920 » Now the other two uh total packets I gave you the one was the 2025 totals to 145 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:25,440 kind of round out East Mullet for the first six months prior to the merger. 146 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:30,800 And during that time they ended with 27 runs. 147 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:34,639 Um, two of them were fires. They had some brush runs or brush fires there in 148 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:39,120 the spring. Two of them were assisting the ambulance. 149 00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:43,760 Four of them were nuisance alarms. I would guess almost to the same house for 150 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:49,279 a fire alarm going off. And then they had 19 runs between power lines and gas 151 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:54,399 leaks. And that also includes the days they went out doing the door to door for 152 00:13:50,959 --> 00:13:58,800 the ice storm stuff. Of those 27 runs, all of them were in 153 00:13:57,199 --> 00:14:02,600 their own territory. They did not have any mutual aid runs. 154 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,839 » Uh total for 2025 for top 155 00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:19,199 » we ended up there. You can see total 15 fires, 156 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:23,440 31 times helping the ambulance, 16 runs doing car accidents or search 157 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:29,360 and rescue, eight runs doing water or ice rescue, 158 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:34,959 24 kind of those nuisance alarms of fire alarms and 159 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:38,959 smoke investigations, and then 61 runs being gas leaks and power lines with the 160 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,800 majority of them being all power lines. That is 40% of the problem last year. 161 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:48,720 » And most of those are turning the ice. >> Yes, sir. 162 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:55,760 » Um that breaks down to 44 runs over the year in Bert Township, 92 runs here on 163 00:14:52,959 --> 00:15:00,480 the top in the Bside, 10 runs over to East Mullet, and eight runs out to our 164 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:06,320 mutual aid partners. And then you can kind of see in the next 165 00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:11,519 few pages how all those runs break down into uh each individual area. 166 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,240 Um again, only really running outside of our district for structured fires. And 167 00:15:12,959 --> 00:15:18,959 we did get called by the sheriff's department for one missing person 168 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,279 that we went and walked through the woods for. 169 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:29,199 That was 2025. >> Excellent. 170 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:34,399 » Any questions, comments, concerns, others? How how are the merger going? 171 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:42,800 » The merger >> um merger is going good. Uh the the car 172 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:48,639 fire I'm still so with central everything runs through 173 00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:56,160 GIS in the phone system. Charavoy County used to do all the GIS work for CCE and 174 00:15:53,440 --> 00:16:02,639 they decided that they want each individual county to do their own GIS 175 00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:07,519 work and help. And nothing against our county GIS lady because she really is 176 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:13,759 truly amazing, but she's never done this and isn't sure. EMTT's running into the 177 00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:18,079 same problem. Um, so they haven't got us all down to one page yet. Um, every time 178 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:24,720 I'm at I'm at a TAC meeting every other month over there and it's I mean just 179 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:27,839 talked about it again last Thursday that we're hopefully getting it narrowed down 180 00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:34,160 and the Charlotte lady was going to call over and see if she needed any help. So 181 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:41,279 with that, this car fire that we went to in East Mullet, for whatever reason, um, 182 00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:47,199 Central screwed up. They paged East Mullet and Tuscarura. 183 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:52,160 We uh we got notified about 10 minutes late to the party. 184 00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:59,120 With that 10-minute delay, we pulled up with East Mullet's pumper 3 185 00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:05,120 minutes behind Tuscar's pumper. And I can I don't think he's watching 186 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:09,039 this video. I can say that two fire engines went to the scene and one of 187 00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:12,946 them was able to navigate the scene back out without getting stuck and it was not 188 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,120 ours. >> [laughter] 189 00:17:13,439 --> 00:17:21,039 » So, um I'm happy with that. We got four or five guys there. If we would have 190 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,400 been paged when we were supposed to, we'd have beat Tuser there. So, it will 191 00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:26,160 work. >> Um 192 00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:28,160 » Why'd you get all the bugs >> once we get the cakes worked out of 193 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,840 that? >> Excellent. Great. 194 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,720 » And I even drove a red fire truck. >> You drove a red fire truck. 195 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:42,080 » It was on the way. It was easier to pick that up than take one of mine. So, 196 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:46,720 » great. Um, other than that, still uh still working some kicks out with the 197 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:51,679 training. Still kind of trying to see how they want or that fine line of what 198 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,919 uh what we're doing together and what we're doing individual so that there is 199 00:17:53,600 --> 00:18:00,960 still some say over there and not making everybody come each way each time. Um 200 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,320 like I said, hopefully we can get to summer and kind of hammer that out when 201 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:08,320 we start training. >> I'm sure you again. I'm sure you're you 202 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:12,320 will definitely handle that. >> And dodging snow. 203 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:16,919 » Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Mike. Any questions for Mike? 204 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,919 » Thank you. 205 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:24,160 » Judy, you have a report for us? Just a little one because it's pretty quiet. 206 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:28,960 » This weather's been slow. I know. >> I hear from your assistant wife. Yeah. 207 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:33,840 » But it's doing a great job. Um, yeah, we're just, uh, Jim and I just 208 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:37,039 pretty much wrapping up state day, which, uh, 209 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:40,960 » the deadline's coming up in February. Um, we've limited the hours just a 210 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:45,200 little bit more kind of, you know, if there's a day where you get just a 211 00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:49,840 handful of people, then we make that day smaller and try to just kind of hour. 212 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,960 » Exactly. And along with people, no, because we have to, you know, they're at 213 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:57,520 the desk usually or whatever. So, they're fine. Um then this winter I'll 214 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,919 do some slight, you know, but do a little bit of light weeding and do the 215 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,520 things in the winter that I can't ever get done in summer. Just go through, you 216 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,960 know, get things changed, whatever we want to do. 217 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:14,240 » And starting to work on the summer booking events like never too early. 218 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,919 » Have you have you admin? >> Oh, she's always 219 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:19,520 » She's tied in. Okay. >> He leaves it. She's tied in. You know, 220 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,760 you got her good. >> Yes. So other than that, yeah, 221 00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:27,360 everything's going really good and just yeah, just kind of, you know, getting 222 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,200 things ready for the big rush come summer. 223 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:34,400 » Excellent. Thank you. >> Any questions for Judy? 224 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:38,880 » Yes. Okay. Unfinished business. Uh, number 225 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:45,200 one on our agenda is committee assignments. So, we're still hanging 226 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:50,320 loose. We have not appointed our um our cemetery uh and committee boards. Um Laz 227 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:55,280 was going to call the attorney and do some additional research, but I don't 228 00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:00,160 believe he did that. However, I did take a um 229 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:06,480 a training session with the MTA. Uh it was a webinar called wait who was 230 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:11,120 supposed to do that. So certainly um found out that the board has to vote to 231 00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:16,080 approve these additional duties. the board member doing the additional duties 232 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:22,080 must accept the additional work and uh the additional duties may be removed at 233 00:20:17,919 --> 00:20:26,400 any time and the board member can uh say I don't want to do it anymore at any 234 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:31,679 time. So basically that is the way it goes. Um 235 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:36,720 so we still have a couple of um we have to assign these for the coming year. Uh 236 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:44,080 the first one, let's do the easy one first is the um birch rail committee. 237 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:47,640 I make a motion that consider jo 238 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:14,440 accepted it. So let's take a vote. All in favor say I. I. So Mike, you're I 239 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:14,440 mean Bob Brett, you are um appointed. 240 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:22,720 Um Oakill Cemetery Board, that's the one that we have. We are we are um 241 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,520 we don't have anybody now. Mike has been doing it in the past. Mike, are you 242 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:33,480 willing to do it now? >> No, I I resigned the end of October and 243 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,480 I stand by my decision. 244 00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:48,400 Uh we are um committed uh by ordinance to have a board member um sit on that 245 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:53,120 board. Uh it cannot be um an interested citizen or it cannot be a 246 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:59,240 deputy. So um we do have to have a board member 247 00:21:55,679 --> 00:21:59,240 on that board. 248 00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:10,960 Well, I um have been doing some research and talking to some people about that 249 00:22:07,679 --> 00:22:17,280 board and um I think there's a lot that I personally didn't know till we board 250 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:22,720 last year. And so I would be willing until we can come up with some other 251 00:22:19,919 --> 00:22:27,200 solution. I would like to try as I think I mentioned at the last meeting had the 252 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,880 board they have the annual board meeting where all the boards go Um, I don't 253 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,159 know. >> We weren't aware of it last year. We 254 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:40,320 were not. We've never been notified by the vet who had Yeah. So, I would like 255 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:45,840 to see if we could possibly get this down to a quarterly situation. think 256 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:51,840 meeting monthly for a sanitary board. Same concept of um Mike has indicated 257 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:55,440 that they always are busy but um so I wouldn't mind I would take the 258 00:22:53,440 --> 00:23:00,400 appointment because they're setting up the new schedule. They're doing the 259 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,840 budget. Um so I would take it. I'm not going to 260 00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:09,440 take it probably to the full year though unless they will change. Okay. So, but 261 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:14,960 I'm willing to learn more. I think that help. And I think that we might as well 262 00:23:12,159 --> 00:23:20,559 um we'll do this first. Um do I have a motion to to appoint Bobby 263 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:23,960 as the um as the board members who represent us? 264 00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:31,120 » We're kind of done with our Yeah, we if nobody We have three board members doing 265 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:38,200 everything. We have three board members to We have three board members doing 266 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,200 five board members jobs. So, 267 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:45,440 » okay. So, Brett will make that motion. Do I have a second? 268 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,880 » Did you change? >> Um, all in favor? 269 00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:53,200 » I. >> And you'll know that they're meeting on 270 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:58,080 Wednesday to appoint them chair and to do their budgeting. And maybe you can 271 00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,559 say, can we meet for the week? And I guess there are a lot of things that we 272 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,600 haven't known that we were supposed to meet once a year. Our whole board was 273 00:24:02,159 --> 00:24:07,520 supposed to meet once a year. We didn't know that. and we didn't know that 274 00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:11,520 resourceful terms the budget. So I mean so we have some things that we need to 275 00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:15,120 catch up on. Okay. Thank you. And all in favor? 276 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:22,080 » I and then when things settle down when Lass is feeling better uh we'll see if 277 00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:26,960 um we can what we can do. Uh and so um that leaves the Bullet Cemetery Board 278 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:31,919 and I think that we'll have u we need two members for that. So, I would 279 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:36,400 nominate uh or say that Brett and Bobby should do that since they're kind of the 280 00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:39,279 cemetery. They're building some knowledge on the 281 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:44,400 cemeteries. So, you guys are willing to do that? 282 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:50,080 » We'll have Brett and Bobby be our two on that one. 283 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:53,760 » It's going to be a little bit once a year. 284 00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:58,159 » Maybe more than once a year >> since 285 00:24:55,279 --> 00:25:01,039 Harold passed away. We're trying to make sense of everything 286 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,600 that >> He put a lot in his head, didn't he? 287 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:11,360 » He didn't. He didn't uh 288 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:16,159 you didn't pre-record any pass away. 289 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:20,640 » So Brett and Bobby will be our two reps there. 290 00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:26,240 I mean, what do you make motion? I made the motion. Yes. Thank you. You made the 291 00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:33,200 motion. We have a second. Second it. We can uh all in favor. 292 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,200 So we got those taken care of. Thank you. 293 00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:44,799 So I will send five of our minutes. Please Lisa know that our new 294 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:52,919 appointment number. Okay. So under current business, 295 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,919 let's start with the ranch road project. 296 00:25:53,200 --> 00:26:00,480 Now, this slab was baby, but I think that what the motion committee wanted us 297 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,880 to pass was that we were willing to spend $85,100. 298 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:09,600 Is that the way you guys read this lady sent us? 299 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:14,480 » $85,100 for our half of Ranch Road for the rest 300 00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:17,760 of Branch Road. Right. >> You probably could explain this because 301 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:23,520 you were actually at the meeting. Is there anything? Um well, of course the 302 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,679 numbers are different than what they had. 303 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:30,880 » Okay. >> They're a little bit better because 304 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:35,120 it's a little bit confused on where in terms of it being split right and 305 00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:43,200 » everything. Um, but yeah, I mean it's we uh we do 306 00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:50,520 have the portion of finishing, but then there's that other half that's being 307 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:50,520 split exactly between and volunteer 308 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,600 » 15 years. >> Yeah. Um 309 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:07,840 » so according to this chart the our portion is 253 310 00:27:05,919 --> 00:27:11,120 the our share of our half >> only our portion 311 00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:18,520 » yeah and then the share that we're sharing with vert is 598 correct 312 00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:18,520 » so our cost is $85,100 313 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:28,200 » so um I'll make that motion that we uh authorize 314 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,200 that 315 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:36,559 I'll see on the body. >> No, I don't have the the copy of 316 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:41,039 contract, but I'll email Laz and tell me that we approved it. If you can get it 317 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:46,799 to us, then >> Okay, I'll 318 00:27:44,159 --> 00:27:52,000 » pass. Good. I think we pretty much decided this last meeting anyway, now 319 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:55,120 that we got the numbers. Okay, now does everybody have a copy of this true green 320 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,159 estimate? >> Yes. 321 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,039 » Okay. I put some numbers down at the bottom. Uh, and J, you might be 322 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:06,880 interested in this because it's your area over by the library. Uh, they've 323 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:12,720 offered us a a prepaid option of $887.84. 324 00:28:09,279 --> 00:28:18,240 And you can see what they do. Um, they do late spring, early summer, late fall. 325 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:23,039 Now, I do say that area looks beautiful. The grass is is lush. They control the 326 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:31,039 grubs. Um, and I put that at the bottom. In 21 327 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:37,840 it was 122. You can see now it's 152. In 22 it was 128. 23 it was 136. 24 was 328 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:42,480 142. 25 was 147. So you can see the progression of what we paid every year 329 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:47,600 as as to >> yeah everything. So I didn't I I didn't 330 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:53,200 want to make a decision to if it's a prepay and it's $915 331 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:57,760 the prepay784. What do you think as a board you think 332 00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:01,919 » is that on this year or next year? >> This will be starting the first one will 333 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:06,240 be late spring. So it'll be next year's budget. 334 00:29:03,679 --> 00:29:10,080 » Do we have money? Can it be prepaid this year? 335 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:15,919 » Just Oh, good question. Um >> if if we had the money any prepaid it in 336 00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:17,520 the spring it'd still be the spring. >> Yeah. 337 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,159 » Um >> when do they want us? 338 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:24,559 » Well, it doesn't have a date. >> No, they sent it to me. 339 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:29,600 » I bet they're expecting. >> Yeah, they sent it to member. 340 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:34,399 So, I think if we responded to it and paid it, then they would honor this. Let 341 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:37,840 me see what we've got left in um >> mean we may not have that amount 342 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,720 available in that. >> Well, let's see. 343 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:46,480 park maintenance. >> Um, we were doing pretty good in park 344 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:49,720 maintenance, I think. Uh, what is we have left? 345 00:29:50,159 --> 00:29:59,360 Um, yeah, we've still we've still got 85 almost $8,600 in park maintenance. Now, 346 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:07,200 of course, we're still going to have um ongoing expenses there. 347 00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:12,559 » Jody is buying a lot of salt. >> Yeah. at that time of year. But I think 348 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:18,000 we can I think we can afford $897 if you guys think it's worth it. I mean the 349 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,880 grass is for ups in pretty good. >> It looks beautiful over there, don't you 350 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,279 think, J?

The only question would be there's not I mean there's got to be another 353 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:36,320 company that does it, but is there anyone that would want to check the 354 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,640 brand new prices? I don't know. So I don't know 355 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:43,919 » I'll tell you >> and you can see basically the grass the 356 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:47,600 gr preventative one is you know and then the other one's a fertilizer draw we 357 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:54,000 control >> I mean they know what they're doing 358 00:30:49,279 --> 00:30:59,840 » true absorb Scott's lawn service a while ago so there's one less big player 359 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:04,080 » out there so you would have to go to somebody more vocal and smaller to get 360 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,200 competitive bids >> and we do know that they that they've 361 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,200 had we've had good results with what they've done. 362 00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:13,200 » Yeah. >> I don't think we want to stop doing it. 363 00:31:11,679 --> 00:31:18,080 » It would just be a matter if we wanted to know. But if we like them 364 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:24,360 doing it for >> Yeah. 21. That's Well, that's because we 365 00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:24,360 had uh 366 00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:30,960 as far back.

All in favor? I 372 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:54,799 Great. Um, also, uh, we got a call, I got a 373 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:59,919 call, I guess it was Thursday, that, um, Dave 374 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:04,880 Corbin is retiring. He's the guy who does our following on the east side, the 375 00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:09,919 fireball. And so, he's had a guy that's been his 376 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:16,399 partner. He's taking over the account service. So he sent me a 377 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:21,760 uh I agree to snow plowy snow fire ball 378 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:26,720 every three inches or more a snow accumulates for uh for $40 per pl for 379 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:33,600 the remainder of the 25 26 season and the price will stay the same for next 380 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:38,880 season. Uh he sent me a W9 and he was going to send me his insurance but I 381 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:45,120 haven't gotten that yet. Uh, I asked um Mike about it and he had another uh 382 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,799 idea, another guy that was willing to plow as well. 383 00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:53,200 » Well, I don't I just know Caleb Deoy's on our department and he did plow it a 384 00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:57,360 couple times when Dave had him or whatever was going 385 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:02,720 this year. >> Okay.

Do we want to leave that to 391 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:27,720 Mike to make a decision? How do we want to go 392 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:39,519 » fire doing it? Well, for I mean 393 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:45,919 Mike, if he's got some way they can do it, especially if it's fire, 394 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:51,760 » as long as it doesn't interfere with other stuff he's got going on, you know, 395 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:55,760 if he's got another job, >> right? 396 00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:58,880 Does K do it do pling professionally or is it just something he does? Does he 397 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,960 got a flaw in his truck? >> I think both. 398 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,919 » Both bust. He's got insurance. So, they're doing I know I know him and his 399 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,880 brother were doing some landscaping at one point. 400 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,119 » Okay. >> I'm guessing that's why they got their 401 00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:12,800 insurance and >> Okay. So, so does anybody want to make a 402 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,480 motion that >> when's when's Mr. Bman like effective 403 00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:21,520 now? >> Effective now. Yeah.

Wednesday. So, do we want to leave it with Mike to make the 408 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:37,919 arrangement or 409 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:44,079 » something also do you want? >> I we'll do whatever you guys want to do. 410 00:34:41,919 --> 00:34:47,839 It's either that or just leave it >> or we leave it 411 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:51,399 » for for this season.

So, >> yeah, 415 00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:09,440 » hopefully only two months. >> Yeah, 416 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:14,640 » it sounds like it'd be seamless to go with this guy's partner for right now. 417 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,000 » He took over if he's taking over all of his business. 418 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,400 » Yeah. >> And then we could 419 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,079 we can see how he does >> supporting someone who's supporting. 420 00:35:21,839 --> 00:35:28,160 » I like the idea of the fireman doing it. But if we finish out the contract with 421 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,960 this guy since he sent me that information, 422 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:35,520 » he was quite quick to send me the the uh W9. And of course, I don't have his 423 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:40,640 insurance yet. >> I mean, I guess I would stay with 424 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:44,960 what we have. He's he's familiar with it at least for the seasonal. And then we 425 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:51,280 can said see how he see how he does. 426 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:55,200 That's how it's a little stick. We'll go with Nicholas. 427 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:05,200 provided he sent to the insurance was nice enough though when I was a little 428 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:08,560 confused he did he did but we haven't seen the bill 429 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:12,720 » which was he didn't build a lot though I think it's looking 430 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,720 » and he got the time on the parking lot >> did you did you find some place to put 431 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:19,760 that >> it's um 432 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:23,850 frustrating okay good >> seemed better than the parking lots 433 00:36:21,830 --> 00:36:23,850 » [snorts] 434 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:31,520 » Okay, the next uh So, we're gonna We don't Do we need a vote on the Nicholas 435 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:38,079 thing or just >> Okay, I will call Well, I think Nicholas 436 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:40,320 Sexy he's going to continue. So, okay. All right. 437 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:43,760 » That way nobody that way no one has to say. 438 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:48,880 » Yeah. Right. I will call and say I still haven't gotten your shirt. So, 439 00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:53,760 um the sec the next thing on the agenda was the drain issue with the maintenance 440 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:58,160 shed. Joey seems to have that >> by 441 00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:04,320 the drain lever. >> Yeah, she cleaned out all the buck and 442 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:11,040 it's and it's draining now. So, the the heater that we have in there was farther 443 00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:16,560 away and set low just enough to keep some of the internal 444 00:37:13,839 --> 00:37:20,960 chemicals from freezing. So, I think what happened with all the debris in 445 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:26,800 that drain, which is meant to basically evaporate, it's basically a a square 446 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:31,440 bucket in the ground. I think that froze. 447 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:35,839 And the more it froze, you know, the water couldn't sit in there and and 448 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:41,599 evaporate or dissipate. So once we got it cleaned out and be thawed, it appears 449 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:46,640 to be doing what it's been. >> Clean the whistle now. And I and I I 450 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:54,800 gave a suggestion to rinse off the tractor after mowing so that there 451 00:37:51,599 --> 00:38:01,520 squeegee out as much snow and water as possible. So, I think we stopped it. 452 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:05,599 » Okay. I don't know if everybody got a copy of 453 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:09,160 this. Um, we put it on. 454 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:17,240 Yeah, I'll show you. Everybody have one. 455 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,520 » No. 456 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:31,680 So Bobby Bobby wrote this letter and basically 457 00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:34,680 it's a she 458 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:42,000 go ahead. Why don't you? >> So in preparing for the budget and 459 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:47,680 looking at some planning commission things um we we need to start we're 460 00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:52,320 going to have the master plan done this year. So, I asked Heather, "What what do 461 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:57,599 we need to look at? How do we need to be in plan for paying for some of these 462 00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:02,800 things?" Um, in talking to her, and I I learned this early on in the process, 463 00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:12,560 um, the township really should have always probably had a CIP. Um, and we 464 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:19,599 don't, we did not pass that. >> Yeah. So, um, that is the board's 465 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:24,079 responsibility to do. So she said, you know, in this budgeting process, you 466 00:39:21,839 --> 00:39:28,079 need to be looking at your survey results. They're going to play into the 467 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:32,720 master plan what really our capital improvement plan, what we want to do 468 00:39:29,839 --> 00:39:37,520 now. Um capital improvement plan will cover the next five to six years. The 469 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:43,520 master plan will cover, you know, into the future further. So, um, I started to 470 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:47,440 look at and kind of tally up some of the things on the survey to see what people 471 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:53,680 want to do for our capital improvement plan. Um, and in doing that, this 472 00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:58,640 building was one of the biggest thing that people have been asking about and 473 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:03,520 saying, "Hey, when they get questions, get on, you know, do something about 474 00:40:01,359 --> 00:40:09,920 what you've been talking about with the fire department and then also with um 475 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:13,440 the schoolhouse." So the first step and we've been hearing some Romans around 476 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:18,640 town that there may be some changes happening here. So we thought it was 477 00:40:15,839 --> 00:40:23,520 kind of a pertinent time to let the Had know that we are interested in possibly 478 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:27,200 having that property and township property too. 479 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:30,640 » So which buildings do they own? Both or >> they Yeah. So it's three separate lots. 480 00:40:29,359 --> 00:40:35,520 the way that the lots are broken up. You'd have to look on a map, but so we 481 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:38,960 could purchase just the um woodworking shop, 482 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,640 » the logs. Yeah. >> And then I think the rest of the 483 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:47,280 property is two lot is I think how it breaks down. Um and with our 484 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:52,640 » I believe that we have the zero lot line. We did that. You guys did that 485 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:56,240 quite a few years ago. So we could just buy the one and it would work. Um, so 486 00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:01,040 that's kind of that's how I wrote the letter was kind of just opening it up to 487 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:05,920 discussion. Um, it would be a discussion with the board because the other thing 488 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:09,839 I've learned in this is the fire hall, fire station, fire things are under 489 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:14,319 board control. Those really aren't a planning commission item. Um, so that's 490 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:18,560 why it's coming from the board, not the planning commission. And I think it we 491 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:22,319 just we just have to get moving on this. If we're putting all this time and 492 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:27,119 effort into this master plan, we've done the survey. we've got to make sure we're 493 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:31,760 we're following all the steps and and starting to put some money in our 494 00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:36,800 budgets towards these projects and be a good first step. So, if you scan the 495 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:40,160 letter, basically we're asking them uh that we want to ask whether you might be 496 00:41:38,319 --> 00:41:44,720 open to discussing potential options relating to the township possibly 497 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:48,319 acquiring some or all of your property. The township is open to considering a 498 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,920 variety of possibilities including the purchase of all three lots or 499 00:41:49,839 --> 00:41:57,440 alternatively the lot closer to the township one propert. So, we're just ch 500 00:41:54,240 --> 00:42:02,400 saying we're we're interested. Um, >> and we put Brad with Brad's permission. 501 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:08,640 I put Brad in as the contact because she does open real life and you know, I 502 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:12,160 think it's is our resident expert and we hope to. So, if this is something you 503 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:16,079 would be willing to explore or please reach out to Trusty Lyn and his phone 504 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:21,040 number, he can set a meeting time with you or just answer your questions. at 505 00:42:17,599 --> 00:42:27,040 least put it out there to say, you know, if you're interested, um, and then then 506 00:42:24,319 --> 00:42:32,319 we'll go from there. So, I think since here, I'll change it 507 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:38,000 if you guys are okay with it and I'll sign it and just say clerk um on behalf 508 00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:39,839 of the board and then we'll send this out to get it going. 509 00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:44,400 » Yeah, that's fine. >> Okay. 510 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:48,400 » So, they're aware. Yeah, that's was here. I'll go 511 00:42:46,079 --> 00:42:53,359 ahead and sign it, but I'll sign it and we'll send it out 512 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:58,079 tomorrow just so it'll be if there's some noise going on, some 513 00:42:55,839 --> 00:43:05,440 planning going on, we'll say, "Hey, before you do anything, 514 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:12,240 talk to us." So, I thought we should it's um really from the board. 515 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:16,800 » They can't protect. So give everybody okay. 516 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:20,440 Thank you. Yeah, let's have a motion. >> Okay. Second. 517 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:29,760 All in favor? All right. So, we'll send that out 518 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:36,720 tomorrow. All right. The next thing is um we have 519 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:44,400 to have um because we have a um um because we have a 520 00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:48,480 electors and we have um meeting >> we have an annual meeting annual meeting 521 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:55,040 of electors we have that we have to have these um township salaries um out for 30 522 00:43:52,640 --> 00:44:01,200 days before we have the meeting of the annual uh electors. So basically as you 523 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:05,680 guys can have s saw when you got them. These are just all saying you're keeping 524 00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:09,760 the same salaries. So basically they say um whereas your township board deems 525 00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:13,440 that no adjustment in the salary of the office of clerk is warranted, the clerk 526 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:18,240 salary is going to stay the same at 26,000. Um be it resolved that there's 527 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:23,119 no adjustment in the office salary at the office of the supervisor warranted. 528 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:29,240 Supervisor is going to stay the 145 or is it 14,000? 529 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,240 Did I have that wrong? 45 530 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:35,359 » 45 sounds >> it definitely 531 00:44:32,079 --> 00:44:38,800 » because I didn't think it was it wasn't wasn't in even 532 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:46,720 » okay so anyway and then same thing with the trustees it says um be that there's 533 00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:53,319 an adjustment the salary of the fresh no adjustment thank you that is warranted 534 00:44:50,319 --> 00:44:53,319 that 535 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:06,400 So the treasur remains 26,000 and the um trusties remain 53.

We want to be concerned. >> But it happened exactly like they 601 00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:05,720 expected. >> Good. 602 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,720 » All right. 603 00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:18,280 Thanks for coming.

Good luck. >> Thank you. 606 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,640 » Thank you. 607 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,000 » Yeah. 608 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,440 » Okay. 609 00:52:35,119 --> 00:52:43,760 7:21 will reopen for the budget. Now, um, 610 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:48,800 I wanted to ask if L had a chance to talk to Judy and to my 611 00:52:46,079 --> 00:52:57,400 » No, no, no. So, you guys had had no input because nothing. 612 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,400 » I've got copies for you. 613 00:52:58,079 --> 00:53:01,319 » Thank you. 614 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:15,520 Okay. Now, um, unfortunately, there's a lot of blank spots on the 615 00:53:13,839 --> 00:53:20,040 budget. I don't think there's much we can do 616 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,040 tonight. 617 00:53:20,079 --> 00:53:27,839 I spent today going through what we kind of we thought that we would 618 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:31,520 be here and that we'd be able to go through and ask him questions about 619 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:36,240 this. So, let me how should we handle this? go and say what we highlighted. 620 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:41,359 » I think Mike obviously didn't get any chance because yours was still in the 621 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:45,680 box all day. So you this is your first >> So um first off when you need blank 622 00:53:44,079 --> 00:53:48,800 spots exactly >> well there's places in the budget that 623 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:52,400 you can put in >> and therefore 624 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:57,680 » were there numbers in the previous >> Oh yeah. Yeah. We know how to find 625 00:53:54,880 --> 00:54:04,480 » Well, I'm just I'm asking questions so that I understand what we work with you. 626 00:54:01,119 --> 00:54:08,640 So, since we just got this and we haven't had a lot of time to decipher 627 00:54:07,599 --> 00:54:13,760 and >> and build through this, we also do have 628 00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:20,400 a secondary date on the agenda. >> I think that maybe we quickly go over 629 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:28,800 just page by page, not line by line item, star items of concern 630 00:54:25,119 --> 00:54:32,240 and regroup at this. I forget the date. >> Okay. I thought it was in the like you 631 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:36,079 said that was well >> I don't even know if we need to do that 632 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:41,839 cuz these guys haven't >> they haven't they haven't even given any 633 00:54:38,240 --> 00:54:47,280 input their number so I think if Denise and I have already done that if you guys 634 00:54:44,559 --> 00:54:53,680 take your I mean take your time we get this to Laz and he can then spend a 635 00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:58,079 little more time on the budget and get it to us prior to that meeting because 636 00:54:55,839 --> 00:55:04,240 us going over it what what are we going to talk about if the person Well, I I 637 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:07,280 guess if you had some um starred areas that we need to consider. 638 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,400 » Yeah, >> that would help me to un to really look 639 00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:14,960 it up. Okay. >> If we just went and let's say you went 640 00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:16,720 to page one and you said line number seven. 641 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:21,920 » I'll show you what I highlighted and Bobby can probably jump into the first 642 00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:26,720 page. The numbers for the income are are lost. Part of them are lost. I think he 643 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:30,640 made his best guessment and Bobby will be able to actually calculate the 644 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:36,240 numbers for the income. So do you want to go to those Bobby or just give those? 645 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:41,760 » Yeah. So I think yeah the you want to highlight what we've highlighted. I mean 646 00:55:38,079 --> 00:55:49,599 yeah but the homestead swamp plan should is not right and the revenue share is 647 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:52,799 not right. Collection fees are not. Um he's very close on the current real 648 00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:54,960 property tax. So you messed with that number 649 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,599 » and the veteran royalties were not right. 650 00:55:56,160 --> 00:56:03,760 » We thought those were too high. >> Yeah. Because based on that and then you 651 00:56:00,079 --> 00:56:09,760 left out there's no misdemean we always have some. So I think 500 you 652 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:17,040 should put it because income is important. 653 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:20,559 Okay. So page two um I'll just what I highlighted and you will be highlighted. 654 00:56:18,559 --> 00:56:25,760 Okay. So, the first thing I highlighted was lodging and meals. 655 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:31,440 You know, 2300 at the lodging and meals because um we know Bobby was going to go 656 00:56:28,319 --> 00:56:38,160 to MTA, but we don't know the last go. Last year when we put Dragon Storm, 657 00:56:34,559 --> 00:56:43,920 » I contacted MTA and got a full push forward. So, it's not a refund. I go for 658 00:56:41,119 --> 00:56:49,520 free. She goes, "Laz didn't do it." So, they're giving him a part. 659 00:56:45,119 --> 00:56:54,480 » So, you would just be food and Laz would have to pay the part of the 660 00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:58,799 classes if he didn't contact them and did get a refund or a push forward. So 661 00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:03,359 we were questioning whether he was going to go or not. Um he hasn't as far as we 662 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:06,880 know registration. >> We don't know if he's 663 00:57:05,359 --> 00:57:12,000 not even registered. >> You had to register last week and based 664 00:57:09,359 --> 00:57:18,000 on showing on that register. Now, the other thing on my my copy is that for 665 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:23,920 for each one of us, there's no mileage numbers. Now, we do get mileage. We just 666 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:27,839 don't get mileage in the township. So, uh I get mileage when I go to town 667 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:35,040 building. You guys will get mileage if you went to AOA if you went to you know 668 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:41,599 uh so there there should be and I want mileage from my my deputy so because he 669 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:49,119 goes up the county building for election things and I want it for my deputy. So 670 00:57:46,079 --> 00:57:53,760 there's those mileage items but he he left those out completely. I think he 671 00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:58,960 misunderstood the policy that there was no mileage. There's only no living in 672 00:57:56,079 --> 00:58:04,480 the township. Um the size >> the other one was that auditor one where 673 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:12,319 he he bumped it up but it's still they charge the charge every year for audit 674 00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:16,400 » um on the um page three um board reviews. We were going to have 675 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:22,880 some conversation about whether or not providing you should be removed uh three 676 00:58:19,599 --> 00:58:30,160 times and if they have contacted program under the assessor he 677 00:58:26,799 --> 00:58:34,000 has $700 there and um that was a one time thing because he hired an assistant 678 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:40,799 because so I don't think we're going to need that again. Um election 679 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:45,440 salaries he put election salaries in but he put no payroll expenses in. Well, I 680 00:58:43,359 --> 00:58:50,960 highlighted a dashboard. Um, anything else on your um I had the 681 00:58:48,319 --> 00:58:54,559 board of review publishing for 500. There's no way that we've never had 682 00:58:52,799 --> 00:58:57,760 anything in that line. You know why? Because I always publish it under the 683 00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:03,240 township, >> right? 684 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,240 Thank you for 685 00:59:05,359 --> 00:59:12,079 » I Yeah, that I don't imagine there would be. I don't think I ended up getting any 686 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:15,839 new equipment over there. So yeah, that circle actually that's a 687 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:21,359 good one. So what what we thought we'd do is we would highlight or circle these 688 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:29,280 and then have L so L can see them and then he can you know enough. 689 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:34,079 Okay. So page four um the only thing we we would judge out 690 00:59:31,839 --> 00:59:40,319 both of us street lighting in the middle of the cave. He didn't put anything in. 691 00:59:38,079 --> 00:59:46,480 Yeah. That's a good explain that balance. 692 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:52,319 I also have and a question for him. So he upped 693 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:56,720 town hall wages. Are we is he anticipating a raise? Is 694 00:59:55,359 --> 01:00:00,720 people are going to work more? What why is that changed? Because we did that 695 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:04,960 question. >> Yeah. 696 01:00:02,319 --> 01:00:09,440 » To that and he does it a couple places. Parks wages same thing. Yeah. and 697 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:13,760 they're not significant to the restricted 698 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:18,640 » at the bottom of transfer to other funds. There's $2,000 699 01:00:16,559 --> 01:00:23,520 and that vote that's the money that we sent for the inspections but he didn't 700 01:00:21,119 --> 01:00:28,960 and I just wrote a note 22 because he forgot to put it over as revenue 212 701 01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:32,640 account. So, um do you want me to talk about because 702 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:35,440 Bull House and Boy Scout Park are on here? 703 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:41,200 » Yeah, talk about that. Um, as I mentioned before, the capital 704 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:46,480 improvement CIP and putting money towards some of these things. The one 705 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:53,520 other thing that I accomplished this month that big was um working with the 706 01:00:50,640 --> 01:01:00,559 insurance company continuing on the SW Park playground equipment. 707 01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:09,839 We they sent us a check for $6,948.50 for the equipment. 708 01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:16,079 The other part of the claim is $6,530. That doesn't come to us until that 709 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:21,599 equipment is removed. Is that the cost that um the company the playground 710 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:24,960 company's name? I can never remember. It starts with Price or something like 711 01:01:23,599 --> 01:01:30,880 that. Penura. >> Yeah. Same thing. 712 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:36,319 So that until that's removed, that's their cost removed and the new. 713 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:42,960 » Well, we have to contract for that. So, but the big thing is so all that Tokyo 714 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:48,400 will pay for is they they didn't buy our big plan, which we knew they worked on, 715 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:53,760 but it was a big um but I don't I think we want to do better at that park and we 716 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:59,599 want a playground like you have on the east side. 717 01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:03,200 But the caveat is that would have to go into the budget and we would have to 718 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:08,000 make some decisions with that because we only have until June. If I tell her in 719 01:02:06,079 --> 01:02:13,920 June we're going to get new playground equipment in August, then they'll fold 720 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:17,680 this 6,500 over to pay us. But if we don't get new equipment in there, we can 721 01:02:15,839 --> 01:02:24,400 get whatever we want, pay, you know, we pay 100,000 if we wanted. You only get 722 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:28,559 6,000 towards it or 7,000. Um, but in order to get recoup the removal and 723 01:02:26,799 --> 01:02:31,200 replacement cost that the insurance would cover, it has to happen soon to 724 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:36,799 whatever. >> Are we guaranteed $6,000 for removal? 725 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:40,319 » Well, it breaks down. So, that's what I said. If we just got it removed and we 726 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:45,440 didn't put in playground equipment in, he would get whatever. 727 01:02:42,799 --> 01:02:51,920 We have to give him the bill. But he's done. Um, so I don't think we 728 01:02:49,359 --> 01:02:57,599 rush a project of that magnitude in order to get $6,000, 729 01:02:54,079 --> 01:03:03,359 but with that being said, Schoolhouse Park is at the top of I 730 01:03:00,319 --> 01:03:08,240 think our capital improvement plan list. So there's got to be I mean $3,000 in 731 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:13,440 Boy Scout Park. I don't know what we would plan to do over there. Capital 732 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:17,839 outlay for 3,000 and $3,000 definitely not going to do anything to the house. 733 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:21,440 So, I don't know where in this budget we want to find money to start to go 734 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:26,400 towards these projects, but if we're committed to moving forward and some 735 01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:30,400 progress on some of these things, it's got to start there. 736 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:35,680 » At the very least, we need to remove >> the 737 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:38,240 » the equipment that's no longer >> Yeah. Whatever we want. I looking for 738 01:03:37,599 --> 01:03:43,440 the right word. >> Yeah. And 739 01:03:40,799 --> 01:03:48,000 the front of the building >> needs to be secured. 740 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:53,599 » That mean that part is in horrible shape. It if you read the survey and 741 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:58,960 comments, people are like, "Lan it up. Lean this place up." This will be you. 742 01:03:57,039 --> 01:04:05,839 Like those are the two big things. So I mean I think I'll I'll put that down for 743 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:10,799 you guys if you agree. Um, I mean that that's going to be and 744 01:04:07,599 --> 01:04:13,760 » and it's going to take, you know, we can the master plan is going to help us get 745 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:17,760 grants. It's going to help us get funding, but there's got to be money in 746 01:04:16,079 --> 01:04:22,400 this account to match it. Nobody just gives you all money. 747 01:04:19,359 --> 01:04:27,119 » Um, and even with bond, you know, we were borrow the money. There's someone 748 01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:31,680 that wants >> the grant works like most grants. You 749 01:04:29,839 --> 01:04:35,039 don't you don't get you don't get the money until 750 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:37,119 » the project is done. >> So you front the money, 751 01:04:36,319 --> 01:04:40,480 » right? >> And we do have some money in savings, 752 01:04:38,799 --> 01:04:43,680 but we have to make the decision. >> Yeah. 753 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:48,559 » The whole project to draw this out. How much is it just to remove the unsafe 754 01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:52,720 which is like everything but the swing side 755 01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:56,400 » inflation removal of the this place that $24 756 01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:59,359 but >> I think I think and they'll pay us 757 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:04,000 whatever we >> right and we don't have to have 758 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:09,359 insurance do that like we can get a local contractor or 759 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:13,520 um >> we have to go 760 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:21,280 » so we have to spend more than the 60 900 to get it? 761 01:05:17,359 --> 01:05:25,920 » No, we we got the $6,900 for the equipment that will be in our account to 762 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:30,880 use for new equipment whenever we decide to purchase it. If it's this year, next 763 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:36,559 year, but we there was holding the installation and removal target until 764 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:43,200 that happens. That's on policy for them. This had a lot more wording than any 765 01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:46,480 other thing. So they again I don't think we expediate a project or we put 766 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:54,000 something in place that's not the right thing or in the right place for $6,000. 767 01:05:49,599 --> 01:05:57,240 Um but I think we should try to fire our insurance 768 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:05,760 out. >> Yeah. And if you went, honest to 769 01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:11,359 goodness, if you went with the bike guy like I did, you would never let your 770 01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:16,000 child be here any like that. And >> let that Mary go around. Come on. 771 01:06:14,319 --> 01:06:20,640 » He was like, then he tells you what could happen like how their flies off or 772 01:06:18,319 --> 01:06:24,559 their arm. I was like, "Oh my goodness." So I we have to put that there. We've 773 01:06:22,319 --> 01:06:30,079 also had a couple >> that have had issues. So it's got to go. 774 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:34,880 Um, we had some kids, you know, they haven't sued us that they freel. 775 01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:39,520 » Yeah. So, it's got to go. But I think that I highlighted that area because 776 01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,359 » their job needs some more money in there. 777 01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:45,520 » Is there anything they said? Some of the ones back there were savable. 778 01:06:43,839 --> 01:06:49,920 » Um, what was it? >> Well, we went to Well, the 779 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:55,680 But they're not. >> You could we could 780 01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:59,920 the go the merrygoround the spring. Oh, 781 01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:02,960 » those those are dangerous. But those were damaged in the storm. 782 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:08,480 » Um, so what's the other thing? The mar the 783 01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:13,680 that slimy thing. >> Yeah, death damage. And that should go. 784 01:07:11,359 --> 01:07:18,776 So those three things were the >> the slide and the death trap. 785 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:20,796 » Can we put the slide down? [laughter] 786 01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:34,079 » Yeah. again the wages are all like just bought and 787 01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:38,319 » I mean there's some I mean there's there's some 788 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:42,000 probably be made into a park >> right 789 01:07:39,599 --> 01:07:46,920 » because if you look parks wages from 2023 to 205 790 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,680 have 791 01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:56,640 so I think maintenance is an area I think you could probably all 792 01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:06,400 And that's actually 793 01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:10,400 some of our landcaping stuff 794 01:08:08,799 --> 01:08:19,600 really. >> Yeah, there's Yeah, there's definitely 795 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:24,080 not 600. and a lot of so I really got to kind of tighten up 796 01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:27,640 otherwise we're not going to have anyone do that 797 01:08:28,480 --> 01:08:36,159 utility. Okay. Then the next page on page uh five 798 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:40,960 you can see he's got 35,000 the library fund but it does not match what he's put 799 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:46,239 into the library but that's enough. So obviously that has to be and it's not 800 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:50,719 enough anyway. We'll look at that but that has to be 801 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:57,199 adjusted. So that was that you can see that was 802 01:08:54,319 --> 01:09:02,400 balanced but it's not balance because he does well. All right. But then if we go 803 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:09,199 to the fires like you can see um at the bottom 804 01:09:06,159 --> 01:09:13,359 that the fire and this is what kills me. The fire department goes in the red by 805 01:09:11,199 --> 01:09:18,640 $5,000. So you know there's no way the fire fun. 806 01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:25,040 Um so obviously you know the number the numbers just aren't right. So um I guess 807 01:09:21,679 --> 01:09:28,319 you have to say you might um and you can you don't have to do this now. You can 808 01:09:26,480 --> 01:09:35,319 give it to Laz later, but go through these categories and say, you know, what 809 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,319 do you think? 810 01:09:36,799 --> 01:09:42,880 » Well, and the other thing too, I think brought it up earlier, the fire 811 01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:48,000 department's only at 30% right now, and Mike and I talked this morning, 812 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:54,000 » and he's never really had a hand in this budget. So, if he's only at 30% of his 813 01:09:52,239 --> 01:09:57,920 budget, these numbers haven't been right for 814 01:09:54,400 --> 01:10:02,159 » No, they haven't been. Um, and as a tax looking at it toward taxpayer standpoint 815 01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:07,840 with a paying a player millage and one of the things people are very sensitive 816 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:10,880 about. So if I'm if Mike's only spending 30% of his budget, why am I paying? 817 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:16,080 » Yeah. >> And so we've got this is a budget that I 818 01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:20,960 think Mike needs to get his hands on and make it very realistic. 819 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:25,520 » Well, you see what we've done, Mike, done with the truck replacement with 820 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:31,040 both departments. We've got a bunch of money. 119,000 and 98,000 that we just 821 01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:37,480 threw in there because we had all that money left over. 822 01:10:34,239 --> 01:10:37,480 » We don't 823 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:49,360 look he could have taken 5,000 out of the truck and he wasn't bail but 824 01:10:45,199 --> 01:10:53,199 obviously obviously he was not. >> So I look forward to Mike on that for a 825 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:56,880 lot of reasons. So, Mike, you have that page and we can just say what he's going 826 01:10:55,040 --> 01:11:02,880 to need. Uh, and you can see the next fund for the liquor fund on page seven. 827 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:09,360 He he he put $2,000 out of the 101 to take it, but he put it over as transfer 828 01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:15,199 from other funds. So, we're $1,900 in the red for that. So, that's just 829 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:21,040 another um, you know, over on his part. So, I highlighted that. Uh, the library 830 01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:27,440 is on duty. You can see that he only had transferred 2500,000 from the general 831 01:11:24,239 --> 01:11:31,760 fund where he put in the 101 35,000 which obviously you're in the red 832 01:11:30,239 --> 01:11:36,880 $20,000. So >> that can't be 833 01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:40,040 gone and I don't 834 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:46,239 he Yeah, you need you need to go through 835 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:49,679 and look at it. He put cut your books down to 3,000. Well, that's the one 836 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:52,800 thing that we got. 837 01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:56,560 » No, that's what we're about. >> I I think you can play with obviously 838 01:11:54,719 --> 01:12:01,600 the wages because you've always got 20,000 so far and you got three more 839 01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:05,199 months to go. So, that can be adjusted. You guys have whittleled your wages 840 01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:07,600 down, cut your hours a little bit. >> Sure. 841 01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:10,239 » But anyway, you play with that and see what you what you think you need. 842 01:12:09,679 --> 01:12:14,800 » Okay. >> And then get that back and then that's 843 01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:21,040 okay. Um, so I don't think there's much else 844 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:26,560 we can do until we get these u 845 01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:31,600 » and is it it's 6:30 the 26? >> Yes, the regular buying. Yeah, 846 01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:36,400 » we'll be that's when they set up the schedule. 847 01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:43,360 » Yeah.

Um, but we had to keep the 206 884 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:58,440 sacred because nobody knows 885 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,360 any. 886 01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:13,239 » Yeah. So, it does it does need some work and I don't know what. 887 01:16:16,239 --> 01:16:23,920 So, so also remember and we've talked about this other time that for our 888 01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:28,640 daytoday spending we want to we have to spend a lot of revenue. 889 01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:33,760 » Yeah.

I mean, we could pick something that 917 01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:49,920 wasn't or one big piece of equipment, you know, cuz I think the biggest thing 918 01:18:47,199 --> 01:18:56,400 up there as we were looking at it is when we decide to do the building, 919 01:18:54,320 --> 01:19:01,360 where does the building go?
