[0:00] not filing a petition or adopting a resolution it states the contract shall

[0:34] population density land area and land uses are accessed and evaluated it
[0:40] continues with what is the past and probable future growth including our
[0:45] population our increase in business how will the increase commercial and
[0:49] Industrial Development in the area to be transferred in the host agreement is
[0:54] States under the recital section D that the village intend to negotiate and in
[0:59] enter into a contract to for conditional transfer of property pursuant to Public
[1:04] Act 425 section which is what I just recited now why did our board enter into
[1:10] a contract to pursue the transfer of land which is expressly stated and
[1:15] contract shall not be entered into under this act for make it a condition of an
[1:21] agreement nor do we see under this act and landfill can increase future growth
[1:25] of the population and businesses what we the people have steady is that we reduce
[1:31] the population because there will be an exit of good friends and neighbors
[1:35] moving out of the
[1:46] community you have the Michigan comp law clearly
[1:51] provide the committee with a voice and an opportunity to be heard why would
[1:56] these options not providing the community before adopting The Host
[1:59] agreement I don't know but the president stated his reason for moving forward was
[2:04] due to the debt of our community now if this is truly the reason then why lock
[2:09] our community into agreement and not make it a competitive project Riz are
[2:14] clearly stated in their community meeting that this goal is his goal is to
[2:18] beat the competitor and grow his company is what a CEO
[2:28] does the president decid that what rle want is more important than what the
[2:33] community need this Council should have been involved the community and petition
[2:39] them to to to look at the possibilities of placing a Landfield a transfer
[2:43] facility a recycle facility and Etc in our community based on its ability to
[2:49] increase Revenue to offset our debts the community should have been offering an
[2:53] open bid process allowing all parties including Waste Management the
[2:58] opportunity to bid we are a government and our job as
[3:02] legislature of this community is to protect and serve our community
[3:06] government should not be in bed with Corporation looking out for their
[3:09] welfare and their profit
[3:20] Mark now our attorney States you cannot resend your vote therefore I'm going to
[3:25] make a proposal to each one of you on this board again that I made last year
[3:29] some of you were not here so this is your first time hearing it that proposal
[3:34] is to allow the developer that continues to express an interest in developing the
[3:39] 47 acre parture of land owned by The Village across from the Penbrook
[3:44] subdivision this developer is still offering a 36 month option to develop
[3:49] the land with one to two story single home on a half acre of land including
[3:55] green housing with Leed certification efficiency using energy Bo and other
[4:01] resources and protecting the health of our community this development will
[4:06] reduce waste pollution and environmental degradation unlike a Landfield this
[4:12] developer can incorporate Green Building Concepts into the landscap and surround
[4:17] the homes with electric vehicle charging station in each home this will also
[4:22] include a clubhouse which will promote relationships and neighborhood
[4:26] stabilization encouraging socialization and Community involvement unlike a
[4:31] Landfield that has stirred the anger of our community this developer is willing
[4:35] to promote health and fitness by building a playscape nature walk and
[4:40] bicycle trails we can take this green initiative a little step further by
[4:44] investing in a wind farm that me and trusty taywell has been working on to
[4:49] reduce the cost of electricity and establishing a niche for our 2.5 square
[4:53] mile Community the reduction and profit in energy saving will provide more
[4:59] income to offset something of the debt this Village never should have incurred
[5:03] over the past two decades we the people want to see the beauty of our
[5:07] surroundings and not the smell of a dump blowing in from the
[5:21] Northeast therefore I will like the trustees on this board who expressed the
[5:25] concern to be able and make a motion to resend their vote their 52 vote made by
[5:31] trusty Davis and second by President King K to execute a host Community
[5:36] agreement with Rizo and the state of Michigan looking to expl option of
