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
