That would be all. Thanks, ma'am. Okay,
we're going to go right into

54
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:25,360
departmental reports. The mayor's not
here yet. Um, law director, do you have

55
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:30,160
a report?
>> No, no, madam chair, I have no report.

56
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:35,839
Just thank you all for coming and
that's it. Thank you very much.

57
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:40,720
We have an interim finance director,
Karen House. Thank you, Madam President.

58
00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:46,320
I'd like to report a couple of things.
Um the Ohio public police and fire um

59
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:52,800
pension system is implementing a change
that goes in uh effect to October 2026.

60
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:58,640
Some of these um changes implementation
has to do with enhancement of security

61
00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:04,320
features and um implementation of how
they administer the pension. So that is

62
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:08,880
that is something that we have to stay
student on that we're required to do

63
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:12,640
training and um a couple hours to be
introduced to that and there is some

64
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:17,200
implementation change that has to take
place in regards to our ERP our

65
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:22,240
accounting software system just to keep
you updated on that. Um I will be

66
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:28,240
attending that uh trainingconference
uh September 28th virtually. Um due

67
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:32,240
September 30th is our continuing
disclosure statement that is required.

68
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:36,399
That is a report necessary for our
investors who are interested in knowing

69
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:41,120
is the village of Oakland worthy of
investing in. That report shares quite a

70
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:45,600
bit of insight in regards to the vill's
finances um our debt obligations etc.

71
00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:50,480
And it also includes some of the
narrative as far as how we operate. So

72
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:54,480
that's another thing to keep up to date.
The department heads have received

73
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:58,959
correspondence from me indicating that
it is time to prepare for the 2027

74
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:02,079
budget which we are going to ask for an
extension. Typically council's

75
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:07,200
expectation is to receive that
information by or before September 4th

76
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:10,640
or 7th. We are asking for an extension
because we want to make sure that

77
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:14,959
there's additional training and
enhancements as far as what we present

78
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:20,560
to council. a lookalike presentation,
meaning all the uh reports and the

79
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:24,880
narratives applicable to their budget is
seamless and repetitive, meaning it

80
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:30,320
looks the same. So that way it's easy
for you to navigate through. And in

81
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:36,560
addition to we are still in the process
of working on amending the 2026 budget.

82
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:42,640
We will be according to the finance
chair council uh woman Mary Davis

83
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:46,160
indicated that she will be uh scheduling
another finance committee meeting

84
00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:51,200
sometime next week to [snorts] finalize
those necessary amendments and any allow

85
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:54,640
you to have additional questions um in
regards to that and that is all I have

86
00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:57,880
to report.
>> Thank you.

87
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:06,000
» All right.
Yes.

88
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,120
» Can I say something? We're speaking to
about finance.

89
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,440
» Sure.
>> Um, my name is Mary Davis. I'm the

90
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:16,800
finance chair for council and I just
wanted to uh bring we had reviewed

91
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:21,200
budgets that were for 2026 last week
with this house and all of council who

92
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:26,320
are all part of our finance committee.
Um, and I wanted this to go out to the

93
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:32,079
mayor and all the department heads. Uh
it is the feeling of all council as a

94
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:36,240
whole that we are and the job of council
is to watch over the village spending

95
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:41,680
and budgets. Therefore, council as a
whole is requesting a spending freeze

96
00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:46,880
for every village department budget with
the exception of essential emergency

97
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:52,399
operating spending that includes payroll
include salaries, wages, bridges,

98
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:57,760
utilities, contractual obligations as
long as you do not exceed your approved

99
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:03,600
budget line items. We are scheduling to
have another finance committee meeting

100
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:07,600
next week to go over the all the budgets
and

101
00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:12,880
Okay, that was it. So, I thank you as a
council at home, the whole of council,

102
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:19,839
that's what we feel at this time. Thank
you. Thank you. Okay. Um, mayor, mayor's

103
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:25,120
in Mayor, you would be next to give your
report, please. Thank you all. I

104
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:30,560
apologize. Been under the weather, but I
wanted to to make it out to report. Uh,

105
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:38,399
we've had a beautiful summer uh with
camp. I wanted to start by saying the

106
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:44,399
camp was a a a huge success.
I brought some things to report on camp.

107
00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:49,519
Uh camp this year, we offered financial
aid for the first time.

108
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:54,240
Uh kids that had multiple kids in their
family, they were able to get financial

109
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:59,760
aid. Uh the budget, although it was
reduced by 25,000, the kids were still

110
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:05,839
able to go to United States two times,
Cedar Point, Adrenaline Monkey, the Zoo,

111
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:12,480
Fun and Stuff twice, Urban Air twice,
the movies, Pioneer Water Park three

112
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:17,680
times, Roseland, and Kalahari.
In addition to that, the kids also

113
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:25,279
experience painting, gardening, mural
instruction, STEM education, crafts,

114
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:30,800
cooking, karaoke, t-shirt design, and
girls empowerment programming.

115
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:35,199
So, I wanted to just get into that a
little bit. There's been some rumors

116
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:40,399
about what the camp was or was not. The
important thing is that the kids were

117
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:50,880
there. They had an amazing time. They
paid 350 for 8 weeks. Okay. From 7:15 to

118
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:57,279
4:15. For 8 weeks, 350. You got Kalahari
in there and 1 2 3 4 five of those trips

119
00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:02,320
included lunch. So, I want to just say
the camp was a wonderful experience and

120
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:07,120
it also was a wonderful deal for the
children and I hope to see all of you

121
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:11,760
back next year. And I hope if you were a
parent, we sent out surveys. We hope

122
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:16,399
that you fill out the surveys.
Excuse [clears throat] me. Um, you fill

123
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:20,880
out the surveys so we get your feedback
for next year. So, every parent that

124
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,880
participated in the camp, we had a
survey. We sent it out to the

125
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:28,560
counselors, the camp uh supervisors, and
everyone. So, make sure you fill out

126
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:33,440
those surveys so we get good information
from what worked and what didn't work so

127
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:39,279
we can improve for next year.
Uh, also this summer we had the 75th

128
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:44,720
anniversary celebration. This was a
tremendous success. Beautiful three days

129
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:49,680
of celebrating the community. Every
single department showed up. The police

130
00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:54,240
were there. They kept it safe. The fire
department made sure all of the vendors

131
00:15:52,079 --> 00:15:58,560
had their registrations and their
certifications. Service was there

132
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:04,639
managing everything from the top to the
bottom. uh building all worked together

133
00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:10,240
to to ensure we had a beautiful turnout,
a lovely weekend, and we're going to do

00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:15,279

history wall there. So, please make sure

161
00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:42,160

you'll see all of your old pictures and

162
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:46,240

ago on this history wall. So, when we

163
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,440
have the se when we have the state of
the village, uh we had it last year for

164
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,520
the first time. We're going to have it
again second week in October and we'll

different um memorabilia stories and uh

166
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:04,160
we'll have a souvenir 75th anniversary
booklet. So, we'll be able to share that

167
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:13,280
with you and something for you to take
home to remember our 75th by a few um

168
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:18,640
events that are coming up on September
5th. We have Bike with the Mayor

169
00:19:15,679 --> 00:19:23,120
September 5th. So, this is one of our
wellness initiatives. So, if you have a

170
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:26,480
bike and you want to want to ride, you
don't have a bike, please give us a call

171
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:31,120
because we're trying to work with
partners to either loan bikes or donate

172
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:35,200
bikes. But this is a health initiative.
We work with the county because we are

173
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:39,039
interested in expanding our trails. And
one thing that we've learned that if you

174
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:43,039
show the county and other funders that
you're using the trails that you have,

175
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:47,360
then they would be interested in seeing.
And one project that CVE and I have been

176
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:51,919
discussing was expanding a trail from
the Meadows to Hawthorne Parkway. So

177
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:56,480
that would allow the Meadows to access
Hawthorne Parkway. And it's still in

178
00:19:54,240 --> 00:20:02,000
discussion. We still have to find the
funding, but the good news is if we are

179
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:06,720
funders that we we're using what we have
and we're we're anxious to get more. So

180
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:11,360
if you have a bike, don't have a bike,
just register and we can get you access

181
00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:14,960
to a bike. It's a family event. all
levels. We'll go in a loop. We'll start

182
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:19,480
at the church. There'll be a light
breakfast. We'll go around Broadway.

183
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:25,919
It'll be a really good opportunity to
bike with your family. If you have bikes

184
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:31,679
in your garage that you haven't ridden
in ages, please come out with your

185
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:36,480
family and bike with the mayor.
And another

186
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:42,559
opportunity, we're partnering with
American Red Cross and the coalition of

187
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:48,240
black black trade unionists in support
of cickle cell education. Maybe we don't

188
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:52,880
know about cickle cell and our families,
but this is a blood drive we're having

189
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:57,280
on September 17th. This will be in our
community center uh partnering with the

190
00:20:55,360 --> 00:21:01,840
Red Cross. You can come there. You can
get to know your blood type and there'll

191
00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:06,400
be education on cickle cell uh and and
what you if you donate you are helping

192
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:10,000
individuals that have cickle cell. If
you don't know if you have cickle cell

193
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:14,640
uh trait in your family this is
something you could learn because at

194
00:21:11,679 --> 00:21:20,240
some point you may need to uh have a
blood transfusion as a result of cickle

195
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:24,880
cell. So we're promoting that. And an
added benefit, all who donate will

196
00:21:22,159 --> 00:21:30,080
receive a $20 Amazon gift card and
that's compliments the CBTU of

197
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:33,440
Cleveland. So, and a Hello Kitty
collectible item. So, you can give that

198
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:38,400
to your your grandkid if you don't like
Hello Kitty. But yes, so the the

199
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:43,600
coalition will give you a $20 gift card
to donate and um and just come out if

200
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:48,720
it's something. Don't be afraid. They'll
give you snacks. Uh if you're worried

201
00:21:45,919 --> 00:21:52,000
about uh fainting, I know when I donated
last time I fainted. So if you're

202
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:57,120
worried about that, they have resting
stations for everyone. Um so that's

203
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:01,679
September 17th. There'll be more
information about this on the website

204
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:07,440
and please come out and donate if you
have um if you have the strength and the

205
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:12,080
ability. Uh lastly, oh the one thing I
did want want to report as part of 75th

206
00:22:09,919 --> 00:22:16,960
and our sustainability efforts, we did
have an EV car show as well at the 75th,

207
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:20,640
uh we had residents come out and share
their vehicles. There were ride and

208
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:26,080
drives. There were 30 ride and drives.
They were offering $5 to anyone who

209
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:30,880
wanted to ride an EV vehicle. They did
30 ride and drives. So that meant 30 new

210
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:35,840
people who had never driven an EV
vehicle had the opportunity to drive and

211
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:40,799
ride in an EV vehicle. So this is our
way to expand about the knowledge of EV

212
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:45,200
vehicles and support our sustainability
goals of transportation because our

213
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:49,600
number one emissions in the village are
related to transportation. So the one

214
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:55,000
thing that we can do is think about
driving electric. And that concludes my

215
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
report.

216
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:02,240
» Yes. Couple questions you please. Sure.
>> Um summer camp. How many local residents

217
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,880
attended? You didn't mention that. You
just said huge success. Uh the summer

218
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:14,240
camp was 50.
>> 50 51. There may have been a couple that

219
00:23:10,159 --> 00:23:18,799
um left, but largely 49 to 50.
>> Okay. And when are we going to get a

220
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,280
budget about the income and expenses and
all that stuff? When were we when is it

221
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,760
finalized
>> for the camp?

222
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:29,919
» Yeah. For camp first. Yes.
>> So, um we have

223
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:34,880
a finalized notation of the camp, but we
were going to report that with the rack

224
00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:39,200
budget. So, we were waiting to present
the rec budget. We hadn't done that yet,

225
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:43,520
but we do have everything here. So, if
this is something you wanted to look at

226
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:48,080
now, I can pass it down. Um, you want to
pass that? Sure. But this is not the

227
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:52,679
complete picture, but that's what we
spent for camp. And it was about

228
00:23:52,960 --> 00:24:02,720
Oh, the folder.
I asked for things and don't look at.

229
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:06,039
Thank you, K. Okay. So we do we do have
some comparables.

230
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:11,400
So this is the red budget.

231
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:25,760
Okay.
So

232
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:33,766
I asked to do a comparison of 25 versus
26. In 25 there was $70,000 spent on

233
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:41,039
camp. In 2026,
[snorts] uh we spent $50,000 on camp. Uh

234
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:45,520
this was a significant uh reduction in
expenses.

235
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:50,400
And the the goal is is that even though
we didn't do field trips every day, the

236
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:54,240
kids were able to do things like AI and
entrepreneurship, work with gardening,

237
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,679
and being in the garden. There were
seniors that were also in the garden. So

238
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,880
they were able to connect with seniors.
So these were youth that were working

239
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:05,679
with seniors. Some of our senior
gardeners are here. So this was they had

240
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:10,320
many more enriching experiences than
just going to adrenaline monkey five

241
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:17,039
times. So my goal for the camp is that
we we continue to explore enrichment

242
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:20,559
activities that give the kids uh an
outlook to things in life that they can

243
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:25,520
do, life skills. We wanted to do a
survival swim class. we started too late

244
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:29,200
to find a pool, but survival swimming is
absolutely one thing that we wanted to

245
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:33,520
add and we we intend to work with
Veteran Heights uh next year to ensure

246
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:38,559
that the kids get the survival swimming
skill passes. So, they're able to to

247
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:42,000
learn that life skill, but this is
something that we need especially since

248
00:25:40,159 --> 00:25:45,760
the district won't have a pool in the
the new building. So, we need to make

249
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:50,640
sure that our Oakwood children are
getting exposed to swimming as at least

250
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:57,039
in the summertime in our camp. So this
is one other thing. So uh anyone who's

251
00:25:53,919 --> 00:26:03,520
had concerns or criticisms of the camp,
I welcome you to uh when it's time for

252
00:25:59,919 --> 00:26:09,279
residents to speak. Any concerns, I I
welcome you to come ask me questions. We

253
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:14,400
have the finances, she has the finances,
and uh we can talk about it because

254
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:18,159
there's a lot of uh negativity going
around about the camp. But when you can

255
00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:22,240
pay $350
dazzer kit somewhere, [snorts]

256
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:27,840
» 8 weeks,
>> 40 plus hours a week,

257
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:33,919
» that's a deal alone. So I think what we
need to look at and for $50,000 for

258
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:39,360
significantly less children. Uh so what
I what I'd love to just just say is this

259
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:43,600
is an open dialogue and you know if
there's any grievance, these public

260
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:49,200
meetings are where we're supposed to
talk about them. Okay? Not late night

261
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:54,320
conversations where lies are told. The
grievances are supposed to be here in

262
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:59,840
these public meetings. So, if there's
anything that needs to be discussed

263
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:06,960
about camp or otherwise, I offer I
invite anyone to come here to talk to me

264
00:27:03,679 --> 00:27:11,760
about it. Okay? Because only cowards run
around at night. Amen.

265
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:16,240
» Okay? That concludes my report.
>> And that concludes my report. Thank you.

266
00:27:13,679 --> 00:27:20,480
And you also the second question was uh
about community days. You're going to be

267
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:26,720
a budget before you started but they
never received one. I asked on July 8

268
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:31,840
14th our last meeting about how much the
community cost the village.

269
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:37,360
» Well [clears throat] in that in that it
was about 17 20,000 after we had

270
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:41,640
sponsorship dollars it was about 17 to
20,000. So

271
00:27:41,919 --> 00:27:51,520
that I like a real report if I can
actual. Can I get a copy of this please?

272
00:27:48,159 --> 00:27:54,799
» You can have your clear.
>> Absolutely.

273
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:58,039
» Any other questions of the mayor?
If not

274
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:09,440
have a report from um
uh Captain Freeman. Yes. [clears throat]

275
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:14,720
I think we Uh, I sent you guys
a Oakland Police monthly call reporting.

276
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:20,159
Um, we want to start sending this to you
guys every month and it has every month

277
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:25,120
of the year on it. It has our charges,
our calls, our accidents, our reports,

278
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:30,879
our incident reports and our arrest and
also citizens complaints on this report.

279
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:33,360
I did I had to email you guys that. Um,
[clears throat]

280
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:38,640
a few things. We did have a coffee with
a cop earlier this month at Dunkin

281
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:43,200
Donuts. It went very well. We probably
had over 100 people come in, interact

282
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:48,080
with the officers, those residents, as
well as people that work in work in the

283
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:53,360
city. So, that was really good. Our
citizens academy is starting on

284
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:57,919
Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
That'll be for about 5 weeks. Just let

285
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:01,600
you guys know about that. Also, I'm
going to start having [clears throat] a

286
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,640
police plotter every month for people to
understand what's going on in the police

287
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,840
department,
different situations that's going on,

288
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:14,640
different crimes, different arrests. So,
I'm started doing that every month. Uh,

289
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:20,960
last night officers were involved in the
uh pursuit on Broadway force. Seemed

290
00:29:18,159 --> 00:29:25,840
like somebody was impaired driver person
took off from the officers. They chased

291
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:31,200
them up 271.
Uh they called off the pursuit. Another

292
00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:35,919
city picked it up and they end up
catching six persons. They had two guns

293
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:41,919
with them. So they arrested all six
people in the car. I Schuman the

294
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:46,320
building that exploded a few years ago.
It's it is closed, but they still have

295
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:50,159
like security working there during the
day. But anyway, people have been

296
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:53,440
breaking into ice and stealing hundreds
and hundreds of pounds of copper out of

297
00:29:51,919 --> 00:29:57,919
there.
So, three persons were arrested by

298
00:29:56,159 --> 00:30:04,240
Oakwood Police Department and being
charged at police court.

299
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:10,480
Uh, I got a call, anonymous call about
person smoking crack in the city. Uh,

300
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:14,080
and that happens every day around 2:00.
So, that's under investigation right

301
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:18,000
now. I can't give you the information on
that. Thank you guys for checking that

302
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:21,760
out.
>> I got another call. They had another

303
00:30:19,679 --> 00:30:25,840
call earlier in the month about persons
smoking crack and a passed out male on

304
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:30,159
the front porch and they thought that
they might have been shooting up heroin

305
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:34,720
as well. Uh fire department went down
and did not find anything. But speaking

306
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:39,039
to the neighbors, this is a situation
that goes on frequently. So, we're going

307
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:45,679
to be investigating that.
Uh we've had numerous domestic calls. Uh

308
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:48,880
no one was arrested. Usually, if you can
talk it out, we'll talk it out. One

309
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:53,520
person went to the car and they didn't
sleep it off for the night and the other

310
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:59,240
person just left before officers.
That's not [clears throat]

311
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,240
question.

312
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:05,520
» I did. I had one thing and I think it
kind of relates to the police. So I

313
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:10,880
thought I would jump in now before we
move on. Um we had prepared uh for the

314
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:16,000
residents. We brought back mayor's
court. We had our first court on the

315
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:22,399
second Wednesday of this month. Um, and
is did Carolyn leave? Carolyn,

316
00:31:20,159 --> 00:31:28,399
» I think I think she left. [cough] We
prepared [clears throat] packets for all

317
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:31,600
of council to review, but um I won't I
won't take the time to go through this

318
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:37,039
now, but what [clears throat] I would
say is we had questioned whether or not

319
00:31:33,919 --> 00:31:41,600
mayor's court was a viable option. Uh,
in one day, one port we brought in

320
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:47,840
20,000.
So this would this would now justify my

321
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:55,440
mind and we have to see you know
nothing's we have to see if this trend

322
00:31:50,559 --> 00:32:00,080
continues. Um, but looking at it from
what we've seen here, the trajectory,

323
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:05,679
the numbers, uh, what we've currently
been paying out to the court in 2026,

324
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:10,080
we've already paid out to be municipal
court close to $84,000

325
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,600
and a lot of that money goes to paying
their overhead because the cost of the

326
00:32:11,919 --> 00:32:17,600
court, we're paying for the cost of the
court to be adjudicated there as well as

327
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:23,760
well as overhead. So hearing a lot of
the cases here now we're doing first

328
00:32:20,399 --> 00:32:28,880
level OVI and first level get suspended
without driving uh under suspension

329
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:33,519
driving under suspension. So that those
all will be heard here in the mayor's

330
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:37,440
court. We have a magistrate that will be
moving over that. Um it's not me. So

331
00:32:36,507 --> 00:32:42,240
[laughter]
uh but there is a magistrate here.

332
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:46,640
report is every second and fourth uh
Wednesday of the month and we'll have a

333
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:51,679
full report at the end of November of
what that looks like. Uh so this is a

334
00:32:49,039 --> 00:32:58,159
pilot to see uh the court was stopped in
2023. The last day of court was in

335
00:32:53,840 --> 00:33:02,799
January 2024. Um and you know I really
wanted to bring it back to see why uh

336
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:07,440
the court was stopped. Um we raised some
of the fees and we'll see what how it

337
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:11,600
goes. And the the good news is, you
know, my goal would be and I spoke with

338
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:16,240
finance, we've been operational without
these funds for the last two years. And

339
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:21,360
uh one thought would be that they could
start to put these funds in a a you know

340
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:24,880
in an account just to start uh saving
for our civic buildings. Uh we've been

341
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:28,640
talking about expanding our civic
buildings. All loans, all grants, all

342
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:34,000
bonds require us to have some skin in
the game, some money for uh to apply for

343
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:38,640
those grants. So if we take the monies
that we collect from the court within a

344
00:33:36,159 --> 00:33:42,799
year and use that towards uh developing
our civic building, I think that's how

345
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:46,559
we can look at using these port dollars.
But we haven't ironed out whether or not

346
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:50,720
that is possible to use it just for
that. But since we have been operational

347
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:56,159
without the dollars, I'm thinking that
that would be a good way for us to start

348
00:33:53,279 --> 00:34:00,399
to renovate the the the campus because
this is something that we've all wanted

349
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:04,559
to do.
>> Okay. Thanks, Mayor. I have a question

350
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,240
on that piece. Either one.
>> Let the record show

351
00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:13,679
Davis speak.
>> I just want to know um

352
00:34:11,359 --> 00:34:16,720
did we the Bedford court when we're
using them? Is it a contract? Are we

353
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:20,159
still paying their contract or it was
cut out completely with the paying for

354
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:23,280
Bedford Court because we had contract.
>> Once you stop sending your cases, you

355
00:34:22,399 --> 00:34:26,560
don't pay them anymore.
>> So you don't have to pay them at all. We

356
00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:29,200
don't pay them anymore. Okay. And then
if we send court cases down,

357
00:34:27,839 --> 00:34:34,399
» you pay them for what we send over
there. So there are cases that have to

358
00:34:30,879 --> 00:34:39,679
go there like the second OBI cases and
some cases we just can't handle here. Uh

359
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:44,240
those cases we will pay for but it won't
be to the extent that we were paying

360
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:47,679
for. Okay.
>> Mayor since you brought up the mayor's

361
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:52,320
court I'd like to take chair privilege
the fact that it was started and I'm

362
00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:58,240
sure you had to do some research to make
the decision. So, uh, I personally

363
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:04,480
» was hoping that that would be a part of
the next finance report. Like to know

364
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:07,280
what prompted the fact that we are
starting it.

365
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:11,040
» Well, the package that I passed out to
you, they have all of the information

366
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,800
and so I didn't want to take the time
now.

367
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,400
» No, we're not going to do that. I'm
saying at the next finance meeting.

368
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:20,000
» Absolutely. So, you have that in front
of you. That's what that is and we'll

369
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:24,000
review it then. But I wanted to give it
to you now just to show you. And every

370
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:28,800
time we have court, so it's next
tomorrow, Carolyn, tomorrow we'll have

371
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:32,400
court. So by the time we have our next
committee meeting, uh, finance committee

372
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:36,000
meeting, you'll have at least reference
from two courts for this month

373
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:38,400
» and and you'll have projections. Is that
correct? I heard you mention the word

374
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:43,200
projection.
>> I'm not sure if I said projections, but

375
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:47,920
what I was saying was at by the end of
November. I do request that our finance

376
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:52,400
chair give projections from this month,
but we discussed it and it would be more

377
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,920
feasible to have projections after we
have several months of court because,

378
00:35:54,160 --> 00:36:00,079
you know, maybe it was, you know, maybe
that's a fluke. So, after 3 months of

379
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:05,680
court, maybe that first week in
December, we'll present something that

380
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:09,040
would allow us to project what could
potentially make, but we want to see

381
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:18,280
what it brings in for the next three
months. Thanks, ma'am. Any other Yes.

382
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,280
I'm sorry.

383
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:28,400
Show that council person Evans is
speaking.

384
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:33,599
Um I appreciate the information that
you're providing tonight. Um but I I do

385
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:39,599
want to make this statement on behalf of
council. Um because it's kind of

386
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:47,040
misleading. We requested the this
information before mayor and um before

387
00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:51,839
the recreation program, but we didn't
get it. Uh over the past 8 months,

388
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:55,760
members of Oakland Village Council have
made repeated efforts to address

389
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,880
significant concerns
regarding the financial and

390
00:36:57,119 --> 00:37:04,240
administrative affairs of the bill of
the mayor and administration. Our

391
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:08,720
charter places specific responsibilities
upon the mayor concerning the financial

392
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:12,640
affairs of the municipality.
Among those responsibilities is the

393
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:17,200
submission to council of an annual
estimate of revenues and expenditures.

394
00:37:15,359 --> 00:37:21,200
Advising council concerning the
financial condition and needs of the

395
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:25,440
community. Reporting to council
concerning the affairs of the

396
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:31,119
municipality. Presenting a three-year
capital capital improvement plan.

397
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:36,000
Despite repeated requests from council
for a meeting with the mayor to address

398
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:41,920
these matters, the mayor had a meeting
with council since January 1st, 2026 to

399
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:46,160
address these concerns. Council has
repeatedly requested information

400
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:51,040
necessary for us to responsibly perform
our legislative and financial duties.

401
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:55,920
For example, council requested a
feasibility and financial analysis

402
00:37:53,200 --> 00:38:00,240
concerning the community guard.
It was promoted by administration

403
00:37:58,079 --> 00:38:04,800
throughout the year. We understood that
the project was anticipated to be

404
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:09,040
supported through donations and grants.
Council requested information concerning

405
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:12,960
the feasibility of the project, its
funding resources, and the municipal

406
00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:18,480
resources required to implement and
maintain. That information was not

407
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:22,240
provided to council. We subse
subsequently became aware that our

408
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:27,040
service department personnel and
resources were utilized in connection

409
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:31,359
with the project. The use of those
resources contributed to the delays in

410
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:35,760
the service department's regularly
scheduled duties and has resulted in

411
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:40,480
increased complaints from residents.
Council also requested a full report and

412
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:44,960
feasibility analysis concerning the
mayor's court before considering

413
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:50,240
additional appropriation requests
associated with that operation. That

414
00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:55,920
report was not not provided until
tonight. These are not insignificant

415
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:59,839
matters. Council has a responsibility to
make informed financial decisions on

416
00:38:58,079 --> 00:39:05,280
behalf of the residents of Oakwood
Village. We cannot properly evaluate

417
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:10,720
requests for additional appropriations
or make responsible decisions concerning

418
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:16,640
the remainder of the 2026 fiscal year
without accurate and complete financial

419
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:20,880
information from the administration.
At our meeting with the finance director

420
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:26,000
last week, council received financial
information that raises

421
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:29,920
additional concerns. The report
presented to council indicates that

422
00:39:27,839 --> 00:39:34,400
numerous expenditure line items have
exceeded their appropriated amounts.

423
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,839
Council is not making a final
determination tonight concerning the

424
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:42,240
circumstances surrounding those
expenditures. We are requesting a

425
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:47,119
meeting with the mayor to give her the
opportunity to explain the reasons for

426
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:51,680
the variances and to provide council
with the information necessary for us to

427
00:39:49,359 --> 00:39:56,800
understand how those expenditures
occurred, whether appropriations were

428
00:39:54,400 --> 00:40:03,040
properly amended or transferred when
necessary and what financial obligations

429
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:06,960
remain for the balance of 2026.
Before council makes additional

430
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:11,200
financial decisions for the remainder of
the year, we believe it is necessary and

431
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:16,160
responsible to meet directly with the
mayor and provide her an opportunity to

432
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:20,079
respond to these concerns. Accordingly,
council is formally requesting that the

433
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:25,440
mayor schedule an appointment with
members of council within the next 7

434
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:29,119
days to address the current financial
condition of the village, the

435
00:40:27,359 --> 00:40:35,200
expenditures that have exceeded their
appropriate amounts. The reason for

436
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:40,000
those variances, the status of remaining
2026 appropriations and anticipated

437
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:44,320
expenditures,
outstanding obligations and

438
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:49,520
incumbrances, the community garden's
actual and anticipated municipal costs

439
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:55,440
and funding sources, the mayor's court's
financial and operational status, the

440
00:40:52,400 --> 00:41:00,079
required three-year capital improvement
plan, excuse me, and other financial

441
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:05,920
matters necessary for council to
responsibly we complete the 2026 fiscal

442
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:10,640
year. Until council has received the
necessary information and has had an

443
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:15,119
opportunity to evaluate the village's
financial position, council believes

444
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:20,000
that that discretionary expenditure
should not be undertaken outside of

445
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:25,359
properly authorized and appropriated
funds. This is not about personalities

446
00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:29,760
or politics. [clears throat and cough]
It is about financial accountability,

447
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:34,720
transparency,
responsible stewardship of public funds,

448
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:39,920
and the respective responsibilities
assigned to the mayor and council under

449
00:41:37,359 --> 00:41:43,040
the Oakwood Village Charter and Ohio
Law.

450
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:47,200
Council has an obligation to the
residents of Oakwood Village to

451
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:51,920
understand where their tax tax dollars
are being spent, to ensure that

452
00:41:49,359 --> 00:41:57,280
expenditures are properly authorized,
and to make responsible financial

453
00:41:53,839 --> 00:42:00,960
decisions for the remainder of 2026.
We are requesting the mayor's

454
00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:05,280
cooperation in resolving these concerns
promptly and working with council so

455
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:09,760
that we can fulfill our respective
responsibilities to the residents of

456
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:13,599
Oakwood Village. This statement is being
placed on the record to document

457
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:19,280
council's continuing efforts to obtain
the information necessary to responsibly

458
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:23,160
perform its duties respectfully
submitted members of

459
00:42:24,079 --> 00:42:33,200
if I might. Um
I've met with you all several times. As

460
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:38,000
a matter of fact, we met last Thursday
for over an hour. So we address your

461
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:43,440
concern and there wants to know did I
let you speak without saying a word

462
00:42:42,389 --> 00:42:45,920
[clears throat]
civil?

463
00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:49,720
» Yes we are. And I wish you could explain
her what civil is.

464
00:42:51,839 --> 00:42:57,200
» All right. Let's move on.
>> Yes.

465
00:42:54,640 --> 00:43:03,280
» No. Let me just say what I have to say.
>> We I met with you all last Thursday.

466
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:11,520
» Let her say what she needs to say. I'm
in your person what she wanted to say.

467
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:15,599
» Adnauseia. Excuse me. This is not a a
debate.

468
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:18,560
» I'm not a debate. I just made I just
made a point

469
00:43:16,319 --> 00:43:23,119
» and and I and I and I I addressed that
the mayor has had time. We can come

470
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:26,800
back. We're moving to the next person.
We're not going back and forth.

471
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:32,400
» Well, you asked her and she she just
said I answered and we're moving on.

472
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:35,500
» No, I didn't answer. And I think and I
think as a resact [laughter]

473
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,480
go

474
00:43:53,680 --> 00:44:00,640
what I will say is this I made myself
available and there were many

475
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,520
I said the email.

476
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:13,520
» Okay, mayor, you responded. I did not
respond because if I would be quiet,

477
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:18,319
let's move on.
>> Thank you. So, I met all the budget

478
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:23,839
hearings for the administration were
completed in March. Every department sat

479
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:29,040
with this council and went over their
budgets. I sat in a 6-hour meeting. It

480
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:34,079
went over my budget, which is about 11
lines. Okay? And this last Thursday, I

481
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:39,200
met with them to discuss exactly what
she's talking about, the variances, the

482
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:43,839
budget. I was there for an hour, and
before I left, I said, "Any more

483
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:48,560
questions?" Okay? I've made myself
available. That letter is not reflective

484
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:52,319
of what is actually happening. It's
one-sided. It's not fair. And like I

485
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:56,560
said, if we're going to have a
discussion about it, let it be fair, not

486
00:44:54,319 --> 00:45:01,640
a one-sided narrative. That is what
you're experiencing. And I'll leave it

487
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,640
at that.

488
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,160
right now.

489
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:32,280
Anybody have any questions? I do.

490
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:44,280
These are questions from you. Just a
minute. Simple question.

491
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:44,280
Murphy, you'll have your opportunity.

492
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:49,480
Hold on. Not right now. Hold on.

493
00:45:53,680 --> 00:46:00,079
Department.
The building department submitted a

494
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,200
report to council. Carol, did you
receive it?

495
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,560
» Yes.
>> In lie of his attendance. So, if you can

496
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,400
review it, that's what he submitted for
you all.

497
00:46:07,119 --> 00:46:12,800
» Thank you.
service department.

498
00:46:10,079 --> 00:46:19,440
» Thank you, Madam President. Um, I have a
question. We got our uh yearly recycling

499
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:26,319
pickup coming up soon. Just wondering if
any mayor council had any appliance

500
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:32,079
going out in the next couple of weeks.
U

501
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:36,400
maybe piggy back on your thing. We'll
get something to you. Give me a if you

502
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:42,319
give me a text tomorrow or something.
I'll back you give me a day. I'll write

503
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:47,359
something out. That's great. Paint and
tires and computers all that.

504
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,520
» And when was that day? I'm sorry. You
didn't say

505
00:46:48,079 --> 00:46:56,640
» I have to date out. I have to act pretty
soon because

506
00:46:53,440 --> 00:47:02,720
the county contracts pick up the tires
is going to pick up the tires reasonably

507
00:46:59,119 --> 00:47:05,599
soon. So if you guys, you know, give me
something

508
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,480
back on that.
>> Is there a limit on how many tires

509
00:47:07,119 --> 00:47:13,760
you're going to put on a
>> Yeah, usually it's 10.

510
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:17,440
» No rims. Can't be over I think 20ish.
>> Okay. Thank you. [cough]

511
00:47:16,182 --> 00:47:21,839
[clears throat]
Question

512
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:28,000
for us. Tommy, do what is your time
frame for um getting the information out

513
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:34,880
to the residents about um the senior
snow shoveling? What do you think? I

514
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:40,000
mean, I'd like to get that out.
Usually we have sign up. Last year we

515
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:43,720
had sign up at the service department in
a few weeks in November.

516
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,599
» Yes, it's
[clears throat]

517
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,800
like
>> Sure. Just real quick, thank you, Madam

518
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:04,800
President. Uh, just let everybody know
the 2026 road program is going to be

519
00:48:03,119 --> 00:48:08,160
starting very soon. If you're if you've
been in the Meadows recently, you've

520
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:12,880
seen signs go [clears throat] up. Um,
the the three streets back there that be

521
00:48:10,319 --> 00:48:16,880
worked on a red box trail crossing, a
small portion of White Tail Run,

522
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:21,440
basically the park connected to Red Fox.
Um, there will also that'll be the first

523
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:28,240
part of the road program. After that,
there will be work on Milburn and on the

524
00:48:24,319 --> 00:48:33,440
two open sins of Swani. So those uh will
be done later. Uh work is going to

525
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:38,319
begin. Um also we have the
reconstruction of the rest of first

526
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:42,079
place. Uh that will be beginning uh
looks like in the next two and 3 weeks.

527
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:45,520
Uh we don't have a first start date on
that yet, but it's like it's going to be

528
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:49,359
mid September. Uh again, it's just a
continuation of the project was done a

529
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:54,240
couple years ago. Um and also just
wanted to update everyone that um the uh

530
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:59,280
reservicing work that occurred earlier
this year on our pubis uh still has to

531
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:03,040
be corrected. Uh the contractor um has
done some work to correct that. He was

532
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:07,200
out there I believe early this week or
possibly last week uh sweeping some

533
00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:10,720
loose stone but additional steel still
has to be put down that road. Uh we are

534
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:14,800
working with the contractor to get that
done. Uh that's that's remediation work

535
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:18,400
at no cost to the village. So just
wanted to update everybody that we're

536
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:23,880
aware of the situation and are working
correctly. Anything else I add question?

537
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:30,400
The first you said first place is that
resurfacing that's previous

538
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:33,920
» repairs and resurfacing. Yes.
>> Okay. And is that cost that we already

539
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:39,280
approved it or that's
>> yeah that's C funed. So it's no cost to

540
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:42,720
the building
>> and that's for you in the first place.

541
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,720
Correct.
>> Correct.

542
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:56,079
» Yes. Uh I was down on our Vutus and
there besides the loose stone there's an

543
00:49:52,480 --> 00:50:00,240
issue of there's a drop. So the road is
not meeting the edge of the driveways.

544
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:05,760
So when you come pull out of the
driveway is a boom boom. So they either

545
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:10,319
have to go up to the driveway and I have
pictures I was going to send you. Yeah.

546
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:16,079
» So it's the loose stone but also the
loose stone leading up to the driveway

547
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:20,480
is about that far from the road. So, you
know, there needs to be some corrective

548
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,640
action taken to so when they come out,
it's a smooth

549
00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:26,880
» Yeah.
>> uh exit as opposed to the bump that they

550
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,200
have on the edge of
>> Yeah. I'll make sure that's included in

551
00:50:28,319 --> 00:50:33,880
the lunch.
>> Mhm.

552
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:33,880
Thank you.

553
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:45,440
Matt, question. Um any bike rides
where

554
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:51,119
Richmond roll the bike trails. Mhm. Is
there any way that we can look into some

555
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:55,520
type of repair? They're now starting to
crack and they're

556
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:59,760
someone just go down Richmond Road, look
at those back trails and make any

557
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:04,640
repairs or give us a price or
>> Yeah. So, um when we get into talking

558
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:09,520
about the engineering budget for next
year, that was one of one of the things

559
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:12,720
I was going to bring up. Um and again,
obviously there's a cost involved in us

560
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:18,800
doing the research and planning for
this. Um, but I was going to recommend

561
00:51:16,319 --> 00:51:22,319
uh that we take and basically do the
equivalent of a PCR report like a

562
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:27,599
pavement condition report for the
trails. Um, because there are several

563
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:30,319
sections that are now to the point where
I mean the service department does a

564
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:34,480
good job of keeping them functional but
you know a lot of them are getting to

565
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:37,040
the point where the service need. So
obviously there's a cost to that.

566
00:51:35,839 --> 00:51:39,680
Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of
outside funding sources available for

567
00:51:38,559 --> 00:51:43,839
that, just like there aren't a lot of
sources available for for some of the

568
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:48,160
other walks and trails that we've tried
to do. Um, there are some, but it's, you

569
00:51:46,559 --> 00:51:52,160
know, in general, that's going to be a
maintenance cost that's going to have to

570
00:51:49,599 --> 00:51:57,000
be worn by the village. So, um, but yes,
I it's something that's definitely

571
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:08,960
we did do some catching last week or
before. We get closer to uh by 4,

572
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:14,400
but we have some other spots we want to
hit in the real near future. Like uh you

573
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,720
said it's not, you know, it's not a cure
all thing. It'll last forever, but I

574
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:22,000
don't know.
>> What about that bridge on Richmond?

575
00:52:20,319 --> 00:52:25,920
» We've talked about that before. The one
on Richmond is going need to be

576
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:31,280
reappear.
And uh we have gone over, we went over

577
00:52:29,119 --> 00:52:35,680
it about a month ago. I see one coming
back up and he comes up. We like last

578
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:39,280
year three or four years we've spent
quite a lot of time on there. Could it

579
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,680
be possible to do red but that need to
be redone?

580
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,960
» Okay.
>> And that would be part of the assessment

581
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:48,559
of the trails. We would also look at you
know there's two main bridges obviously

582
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:52,480
the long one for and then that shorter
one.

583
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:58,079
» Are we planning on doing that um that um
research all the way around? Yeah, it's

584
00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:02,240
probably
>> Well, we're going to I would recommend

585
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:07,920
we look at all of the trails.
>> Um look at the forums, the Pharaoh's

586
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:12,480
Trail, um the sections on Broadway, etc.
I would recommend we look at all um as

587
00:53:10,559 --> 00:53:15,781
far as, you know, that way you can kind
of make your own decisions about

588
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:20,000
priorities of which sections you
[clears throat] want to try to tackle

589
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:23,839
when because again it's, you know, it's
not going to be inexpensive to resurface

590
00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:29,920
the entire trail system. there there's
obviously a big cost to that. So, you

591
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:34,880
know, with that data, you'll be able to
make an educated decision about, you

592
00:53:31,359 --> 00:53:39,359
know, where where do you want to stop?
>> This is Mayor Nicholas and just, you

593
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:44,720
know, about the bike ride. Our police
and fire, all trained paramedics will be

594
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:48,480
with us on the bike ride. So, if anyone
wants to get off their bike and put it

595
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:53,119
on the the the golf cart, we'll have a
golf cart. If anyone falls out, we'll

596
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:59,760
have our paramedics with us. So we're a
good hand. So we we're safe on the ride.

597
00:53:56,559 --> 00:54:02,640
Thank you. All right. Thank you. Any
other comments from any other

598
00:54:01,119 --> 00:54:09,280
department?
If not, the next thing on the agenda are

599
00:54:05,599 --> 00:54:12,280
for our boards from council
reports.

600
00:54:15,839 --> 00:54:21,079
I'm sorry.
Thank you.

601
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:33,440
We we have our
weekly activities. Mondays we have

602
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:40,160
studying classes from 7 to 9. We have
about 40 to 45 participants.

603
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:47,200
Um eight of which are residents.
>> Eight isn't eight of them are residents.

604
00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:53,520
We have Tuesday knitting classes with um
Vicki and we have five participants all

605
00:54:50,559 --> 00:54:59,119
our residences. We have a martial arts

um fitting name council and um
constituents

628
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:15,359
included in the award uh [clears throat]
report. I would like to share with the

629
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:21,119
community that
number one we celebrated with the mayor

630
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:27,599
and I did share with her privately but I
wanted to say publicly that the 75th

631
00:57:24,319 --> 00:57:34,960
anniversary event turned out extremely
well. Um, and we want to continue to

632
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:41,040
celebrate for the remainder of the year
and just in a community celebratory

633
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:50,079
mode. And one of the things that we're
going to be doing is a community concert

634
00:57:45,599 --> 00:57:56,720
in which we celebrate local artists. So,
our local artists would be just

635
00:57:53,200 --> 00:58:02,480
residents who live in Oakwood Village.
We have a number of very talented

636
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:08,079
artists that are here that we are going
to highlight on September 12th. This was

637
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:13,599
one of the dates that we shared at the
top of the year to kind of mark your

638
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:20,559
calendar for. And we're going to hold
that date where we just celebrate from

639
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:27,040
2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in a community
concert where we bring out those local

640
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:33,119
residents that have talent and also
giving local business owners who live in

641
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:40,079
the village an opportunity to showcase
their business. So, we'll have um an

642
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:44,160
opportunity for tables to be up and it's
always nice and good for us to know

643
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:48,559
who's in our community, to know the
business owners that are here. And

644
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:54,319
sometimes we're just looking for someone
that we can trust. So, we would like to

645
00:58:51,680 --> 00:59:00,960
take this opportunity to celebrate
community on September 12th. And it's

646
00:58:58,079 --> 00:59:07,839
just a bring your lawn chair and relax
time and meet be and be around your

647
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:13,440
neighbors from 2:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.
And we are going to do this immediately

648
00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:17,440
following the shred day. So if you come
up for shred day and you're dropping off

649
00:59:15,359 --> 00:59:23,040
your papers, you'll be able to kind of
see us set it up and just kind of spread

650
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:26,640
the word. So, if you have a business or
you know someone that has a business, um

651
00:59:25,599 --> 00:59:31,040
you can [clears throat] make sure that
you um get in contact with myself and I

652
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:37,040
will make sure that you are able to be
highlighted and and showcase during that

653
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:42,720
time. And um we're going to have a flyer
that's going out. It's going to be

654
00:59:39,119 --> 00:59:49,280
mailed. We are also getting our constant
contact has been down for the um

655
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:54,319
council's constant contact, but we are
reinstating our constant contact so that

656
00:59:51,359 --> 01:00:00,720
we can start to blast out information to
you as well through email, but we want

657
00:59:57,599 --> 01:00:06,480
to make sure that you are there. So that
September 12th is going to take place in

658
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:14,799
the community
um park. So, we won't be in the sales

659
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:20,400
club leven's lot. We'll be in the park
on the grass. Hopefully, there'll be

660
01:00:17,359 --> 01:00:26,079
some shade, but if not, we'll make sure
that um we we um have some type of a

661
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:30,480
tent for our seniors that may want to
come out and and are not able to be out

662
01:00:28,319 --> 01:00:35,280
in the sun. So, if you have any
questions, you can see me afterwards,

663
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:39,520
but I definitely want to get the flyer
out to everyone this week.

664
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,520
question.

665
01:00:49,839 --> 01:00:59,599
I want to speak I want to apologize to
the veterans. Um we participated and did

666
01:00:56,799 --> 01:01:05,599
under the veteran banners.
The bed be our veteran banners are

667
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:11,040
beautiful, [clears throat] but what held
us up? They're all ready to go. We have

668
01:01:08,079 --> 01:01:17,200
all the brackets, but we did not get the
okay yet or I don't know if they came

669
01:01:13,119 --> 01:01:23,680
out. The um clean up the eliminating
company had to examine the polls for us

670
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:30,720
to do the graphics on. Um we do have the
banners. We have 20, but keep in mind we

671
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:35,760
did need the bed commission to pay for
the banners. So, all of the ones who

672
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:41,680
paid their $1 million will be reimbursed
for those banners. We're still going to

673
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:44,722
do the veteran banner um
program.

674
01:01:43,359 --> 01:01:48,880
If we don't get one this year,
[clears throat] the school will have

675
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:52,240
them up [cough] ready for May, but that
will give the other veterans an

676
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:59,599
opportunity
to sign up, okay, and also participate

677
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:03,920
in the veteran banners. Okay? I want to
see them going all the way down

678
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:08,799
Broadway. I think it'd be beautiful.
Right now, I know they're really nice,

679
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:14,640
but the veteran commission was like,
"These are some nice banners." Okay. So,

680
01:02:11,599 --> 01:02:21,760
we did our veterans very well with a
proud. Okay. Uh we're also going to do a

681
01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:28,160
lunchon for the veterans on November
11th at Mount Zion.

682
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:33,520
» Okay. Um, during that time though, I do
I wanted to go out this summer, but

683
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:38,720
believe me, I got struck with shingles.
Um, so I've been trying to hold it down,

684
01:02:37,119 --> 01:02:43,440
but
I wanted to go out and get all of your

685
01:02:41,359 --> 01:02:46,559
information on if you're a veteran, if
you're not, because they're planning on

686
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:52,079
recognizing
veterans at this launching. The veteran

687
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:57,599
commission will be there.
All right. We're also going to be

688
01:02:54,480 --> 01:03:01,839
conducting a workshop with the veteran
commission regarding

689
01:03:00,079 --> 01:03:06,640
benefits
for not only the veterans but for their

690
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:10,960
spouses.
It's something that they need to know a

691
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:18,559
lot of information
that you need to know regarding your

692
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:23,920
benefits. Okay. Um so I just wanted to
give you that information. And we did

693
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:30,480
try diligent diligently to get those
banners up by July 4th. We wanted them

694
01:03:27,039 --> 01:03:37,280
up May 31st, but that's what held us up
was the um Illuminating Company.

695
01:03:35,119 --> 01:03:42,559
And um we're still trying to reach out
to the illuminated company um their

696
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:48,319
community outreach program to see when
can those um holes be assessed and make

697
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:53,839
sure that they're safe with those
spammers on

698
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:57,920
just something to piggy back on that.
Um, we put the application into the

699
01:03:55,760 --> 01:04:03,280
ruminating company for them to come out
and eat and bank. So they they have been

700
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:07,039
pushing us behind, pushing us behind and
they promised by the middle of August

701
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:11,839
was the last promise and they still have
not done it. So we have been in constant

702
01:04:09,359 --> 01:04:16,559
contact with them to try to try to get
them [clears throat] and and complain to

703
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:19,920
them enough that the Scooby wheel isn't
going to come on. All they have to do is

704
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:26,559
give us what poles legally we're allowed
to put them on. So uh and if we put them

705
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:31,039
on holes on our own but with the service
then we are we're going to get fined if

706
01:04:29,359 --> 01:04:34,480
we put them on and they we didn't get
their approval first. So we've been

707
01:04:32,799 --> 01:04:38,559
waiting for the community engagement
outreach program from the illuminate

708
01:04:36,559 --> 01:04:42,480
company and they can push us behind
behind. So we will get them out and they

709
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:47,280
will be out in his chair the same
matters and and we will have them posted

710
01:04:45,359 --> 01:04:50,319
nicely. We can't wait to put them up but
we are behind because of the

711
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:53,520
illuminating company. There's not been
any other process [clears throat] that

712
01:04:52,079 --> 01:04:55,760
has been taken so long.
>> And thank you Tommy so much for your

713
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,599
help.
>> Yes, we do appreciate the last

714
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:03,599

>> Yes, they did. I just talked to him

715

740
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:16,079
» Crystal White, 24662 Alexander Road,
Over Village 4146. I just have some

741
01:07:13,119 --> 01:07:21,280
comments. I never got any more thing and
I didn't war for never. And I think it's

742
01:07:19,119 --> 01:07:25,599
a shame when when I think it's a good
idea, but I think it's a shame when when

743
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:29,839
the mayor was in whatever we always got
information, too much information.

744
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:34,720
Sometimes we wanted to throw it away.
Too much information. But you know, we

745
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:39,440
got a lot. Now we get nothing. And I
listen to a senior say this and I'm a

746
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:43,280
senior now. I don't play on a computer
like a lot of people. You know what I'm

747
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:47,839
saying? So they expect us to go look up
stuff on. I couldn't It [laughter] took

748
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:52,559
me an hour to find out how it was today.
>> Didn't know where to find it on I mean I

749
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:57,119
finally did. You're looking so much
mature. So I finally did it. But you

750
01:07:55,359 --> 01:08:01,280
know what I'm saying? So we need to be a
little bit more if if you can't afford

751
01:07:58,559 --> 01:08:07,599
to mail us just once a month something
mail or once every 3 months mail a fly

752
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:12,960
or something out saying we're having
this on this day. [clears throat] to us

753
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:17,727
seniors who don't play on the computer
or don't come up here every 5 minutes. I

754
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:19,759
don't come up here. Well, you know,
[clears throat] I used to come up here

755
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,239
all the time.
>> Okay. Yes.

756
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:26,480
» But that's when I was younger and could
barely could walk a little better. So,

757
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:30,560
we need to do something about that
because like I didn't know that. I would

758
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:36,640
love to go to that.
I was out canvasing with 44 just this

759
01:08:33,279 --> 01:08:42,319
past week cuz I'm a couch of whatever
you call it the central committee

760
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:47,520
» and did not
didn't um didn't I mean it's like a

761
01:08:45,199 --> 01:08:52,719
shame cuz we don't have side to get to
know anybody. You know what I'm saying?

762
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:56,000
So it is very hard. So I like that idea.
We used to have the guy in Bedford used

763
01:08:54,480 --> 01:08:59,759
to have a big thing every year. I don't
know if you ever went to that. That

764
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:04,000
thing was so humongous. It was
ridiculous. People can't you couldn't

765
01:09:01,440 --> 01:09:08,719
park on there. But I think they need to
get us out of that. I've never had an

766
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:11,600
issue on a statement with Tom H. When I
call time, somebody said make a

767
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:16,677
statement about the service department
getting slow. When I call Tom, Tom shows

768
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:18,697
up. Is it just because of me times?
[laughter]

769
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:29,120
I can't [laughter] complain because I
mean one day I look at it and I said,

770
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:35,018
"Dang, it's gone already." I mean, he's
just that fast. I can't I I've known him

771
01:09:31,440 --> 01:09:37,279
for years years. He's never been slow.
[clears throat]

772
01:09:35,359 --> 01:09:41,759
» And another thing is I want the council
to learn to respect each other. I'm not

773
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:46,560
trying to be disrespectful, but we need
you show us how to act.

774
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:51,120
» You know what I'm saying? You show us
how to act. If you arguing and carrying

775
01:09:49,279 --> 01:09:54,560
on pick [laughter] that stuff behind the
closed door and nobody else see it. You

776
01:09:52,960 --> 01:10:00,080
know what I'm saying? That's all I'm
saying. So respectful to do that. and

777
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:05,199
for the um he's looking like I'm
turning. [laughter] We're so caught up

778
01:10:02,719 --> 01:10:10,880
on the sidewalks and the bike trail and
all that stuff is good. I'm on Alexander

779
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:16,880
Road and we have such a bad water
problem with the sewers since the storm

780
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:20,880
sewer which we don't have. Sometimes I
got water. I'm rushing trying to keep

781
01:10:18,719 --> 01:10:23,600
water coming out of my coming in my
house.

782
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:27,600
» Why can't we address these things that
are important to people like me? I

783
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:31,840
called Tom and Tom said, "I'mma send
somebody." "No, don't send nobody. I'm

784
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:37,280
so mad at my cousin because the water's
coming up the driveway so bad, you can't

785
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:41,520
get it." One time the mayor told me,
>> "Let me put a trench in your yard

786
01:10:39,679 --> 01:10:46,400
that'll fall for everybody on the
street. All the water would come to that

787
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:50,640
trench in my yard." And I was like, "You
sound like a fool." [laughter]

788
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:54,080
But the thing on this is that we need to
look had that problem. You guys got to

789
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:59,120
know about all the houses that been
flooded out on Alexander Road. I mean,

790
01:10:57,199 --> 01:11:04,480
it's just horrendous over there. And I'm
sure I'm not the only one cuz I was at a

791
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:08,560
meeting once. Um,
I was at a meeting once in other streets

792
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:13,040
were talking about the same thing. All
this water damage that coming, water

793
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:16,080
coming into people's houses. That's more
important than the bike trail. I mean,

794
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:19,679
you know, to me,
>> it's more important than riding a

795
01:11:17,440 --> 01:11:22,960
bicycle, riding a bicycle or more. We
need to keep this water out. You'd be

796
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:28,080
surprised how many times I've fallen
into my house just trying to get because

797
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:33,440
it's just me trying to get the water out
and I'm missing

798
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:40,880
expect you to come Saturday.
>> I'm not commenting. I don't last I have

799
01:11:38,480 --> 01:11:43,960
» I have something else going on. But if I
didn't have known

800
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,600
» Okay.
>> Okay. Did you write down for a clerk or

801
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:52,000
not?
>> Make it. She just I just said I did not

802
01:11:50,159 --> 01:11:55,120
say my address for the record. Thank
you.

803
01:11:52,400 --> 01:12:02,040
» Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
All right. Next person.

804
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:02,040
» Hi, my name is Denise Franklin 26105.

805
01:12:02,480 --> 01:12:14,800
Okay. And um I just have a couple
questions. I first want to know um what

806
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:19,840
have you everyone here city council um
accomplish for our residents of our

807
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:24,719
city? during past couple years. I really
would like to know and pointedly what

808
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:30,400
measurable improvements can our
residents point to today? What has been

809
01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:35,120
done especially for water too? Because I
I never really hear anything. The other

810
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:39,920
question, well being a real estate
agent, I sell a lot of houses in a lot

811
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:45,840
of different cities. I'm always
concerned about our values. So I have a

812
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:51,840
question. Looking ahead,
um what is your vision for our city over

813
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:58,679
the next 5 to 10 years? And what
specific plans do you have to make this

814
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,679
vision a reality?

815
01:13:08,480 --> 01:13:18,400
I just I was just elected to the
position and took office January 1st. So

816
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:23,679
the history part I can't get. Um just
today Matt just um reported that

817
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:28,880
Buckthornne is going to be resurfaced. I
had heard, you know, I've gotten a lot

818
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:35,440
of calls regarding Buck Thorn. Um, and
Tommy helped out with that and

819
01:13:32,159 --> 01:13:40,159
a lot of gravel and things after,
you know, the patches of basketball were

820
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:44,480
put down and he resolved that problem.
But at the time,

821
01:13:42,239 --> 01:13:50,000
» still a problem and and so when is it
going to be resurfaced? Well, he's

822
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:54,640
asking for put in for the grant today
and then they're going to hopefully

823
01:13:52,000 --> 01:14:02,199
we'll get a response next year and he's
thinking in 2028 it'll be resurfaced.

824
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:02,199
So, what other plans do you have for

825
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:09,520
» long-term plans?
Uh, right now I'm trying to get engaged

826
01:14:06,719 --> 01:14:12,880
with all the residents. I do need
contact information other than an

827
01:14:11,199 --> 01:14:18,480
address because there certain things
that I can do at the spur of the moment

828
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:24,400
just say one or two weeks. Um we're not
allowed to put flyers on mailboxes

829
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:29,120
anymore. So you know I've never seen you
around the area.

830
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:35,011
I was just I was just there taking
pictures. I was just there taking

831
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:38,560
pictures in Buckorn and Richmond because
[laughter] they were concerned about the

832
01:14:36,239 --> 01:14:41,560
landscaping
not.

833
01:14:46,239 --> 01:14:55,280
» So the other question
what is the vision? What is your vision

834
01:14:51,280 --> 01:15:00,080
for our wonderful city for 10 years?
Five and within 5 to 10 years, what

835
01:14:58,159 --> 01:15:03,840
measures have you made
>> to make this a reality?

836
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:07,480
» Well, my vision is to create the village
that we once knew

837
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:16,800
to create the village we once knew. Um,
we do that by communicating, respecting

838
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:22,239
each other, like you said, um, and
having those community engagements where

839
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:29,040
we can understand your guys' problems
because we work for you. Um, I was just

840
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:33,280
recently appointed in February. So I
would like to have the community enga

841
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:38,000
engagement so I can learn from you guys
what you see what you deal with every

842
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:43,760
day and bring that to the table and we
can discuss that and bring solutions and

843
01:15:40,719 --> 01:15:48,159
then go from there. Um it won't be you
know cake and ice cream all the time and

844
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:52,719
we got to understand that. Um, but we
have to be realistic of where we're at,

845
01:15:50,239 --> 01:15:59,280
where we want to go, and um, [laughter]
just plan. Um, and that's really much

846
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:02,280
all I can really explain to you for
myself.

847
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:12,480
» One thing, one thing I would like to do,
I would love to have a new city hall.

848
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:16,159
Um, that's going to take grants. Um
because we're small village and we don't

849
01:16:14,239 --> 01:16:21,239
have a lot of revenue, but it's
something I should I think it should be

850
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,239
in the plan.

851
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:33,920
» Lorie Hoover, property owner, 7379
Macedonia Road. Short and sweet. What's

852
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:40,000
going on with my property in Econ? It's
going on three years.

853
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:47,560
» Three years. No one has contacted me. No
one in the law department. No one has

854
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:47,560
contacted me as to what's going on.

855
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:56,159
» Which property do you own?
>> 7379 Macedonian Road backs up to the

856
01:16:53,520 --> 01:17:00,000
back of Econ. They tore down all the
trees

857
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:05,760
and it's nothing but weeds back there.
Now, I was told they were putting up a

858
01:17:02,239 --> 01:17:09,840
fence, but I haven't heard anything.
There's been some recent discussions

859
01:17:07,199 --> 01:17:14,880
about moving that project along. The
owners are attempting to put up a fence,

860
01:17:12,480 --> 01:17:19,120
but they also have to comply with other
conditions imposed by the planning

861
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:22,880
commission at that time. The fence isn't
going to do it. From what I understand,

862
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:28,719
they have to also
I think create some buffers so that you

863
01:17:26,480 --> 01:17:33,440
know the nation I don't sure if you live
there or not. I don't know, but the

864
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:38,400
neighbors aren't uh
inconvenienced. And uh so honestly,

865
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:42,400
there's been communications in the last
week or two about that.

866
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:47,679
» Well, how come no one's contacted me?
I'm a property owner. I think I have the

867
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:53,920
right to know what's going on. 3 years.
This is going to be 3 years. I was here

868
01:17:50,719 --> 01:17:59,679
and I approved and gave them permission
to do all that concrete back there and

869
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:06,960
then they tore down all of our trees. I
submitted all the pictures before

870
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:08,800
to the law department who is he is not
here anymore.

871
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:14,080
» Thank God.
>> But no one has has contacted me. I think

872
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:18,000
that's pretty poor.
>> That's very changes going on with the

873
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:23,360
mayor pass. He get
>> Oh, come on. That's been over a year.

874
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:26,080
That's been over a year. And I'm sorry.
>> I hear you.

875
01:18:24,159 --> 01:18:32,159
» No. No. I'm sure
>> he was made it a priority for

876
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:36,400
the new law department.
>> I met with the building department. I

877
01:18:34,239 --> 01:18:41,280
met with the building department last
fall. Both people out at the site,

878
01:18:39,984 --> 01:18:47,920
[clears throat] took pictures,
everything. So, you're telling me

879
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:54,080
another year has gone by and nothing?
changes department as well.

880
01:18:50,800 --> 01:19:00,560
» So if I may if I may
so if I may um so with ECOM the the

881
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:06,159
truth of the matter is when there were
notifications put on the building there

882
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:11,360
was some steps that have to be done in
order to take a case to court to move it

883
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:16,239
on and to adjudicate it. Steps were
missed. So we had to start all over

884
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:20,560
because the people who were in place at
that time they didn't follow the process

885
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:24,159
accordingly. So in order to follow
through on something like that to

886
01:19:22,239 --> 01:19:28,800
actually take them to court you have to
show in court that you followed all the

887
01:19:26,239 --> 01:19:33,840
steps. So essentially we discovered that
we had to start all over and with now

888
01:19:31,440 --> 01:19:38,719
with the new team we're on track to get
I believe they're talking to someone to

889
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:42,560
put up the fence but there are other
ramifications with the planning

890
01:19:40,159 --> 01:19:47,520
commission but in short we had to start
the process all over because

891
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:51,280
» the process just we've been talking
about it with since the last [cough]

892
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:55,760
council meeting. So there's since the
last council meeting, we've been making

893
01:19:53,199 --> 01:19:59,760
it a priority to make sure that we start
the process and the steps to get going

894
01:19:58,159 --> 01:20:04,320
and there have been discussions about
the fence. That's that's accurate. So we

895
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:09,520
will make sure to include you in the
communications.

896
01:20:06,239 --> 01:20:13,760
» We will if you leave your your email and
I may have it, but if you leave it with

897
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:20,239
the clerk to be sure, we'll we'll
include

898
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:20,239
can you please communications?

899
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:28,840
Hello, my name is Tanya Dixon. I'm at
26482.

900
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:38,159
Um, I know we spoke about this a couple
years back about that um platform in my

901
01:20:35,199 --> 01:20:42,640
backyard and in my neighbor's backyard.
It's still there in this region. And I

902
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:48,800
believe
that house is a Airbnb because they only

903
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:54,239
cut grass once a month.
And it's trouble when you have company

904
01:20:52,239 --> 01:20:59,040
or you're sitting outside on your nice
patio and you have to look at grass is

905
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:04,719
almost 2 ft high.
And um it's been like that for a while.

906
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:11,199
Um I think they sold that house was sold
around 2023. I had never received one

907
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:17,520
out there. And then also I looked it up.
This company owns about 86 homes around

908
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:22,880
the area. Yo,
please give her a listen.

909
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:25,840
» LLC's are a problem.
>> Absolutely.

910
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:30,080
» And there's another one they own on um
24797

911
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:35,760
road. And then the other ones right
behind me, 26450

912
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:43,920
road, but it's like 87 homes. This
company owns around stolen, you know,

913
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:48,000
bathrooms all over. And this is not well
kept [clears throat] up. And I just said

914
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:51,040
hope that we
I know it's kind of hard. There's

915
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:55,120
nothing we can really actually do. If
someone wants to buy a home, they can

916
01:21:52,880 --> 01:22:00,639
buy a home. You know, this company is
really moving into all the our area and

917
01:21:58,159 --> 01:22:05,840
the surrounding area. And then one more
other thing, the trash collection. One

918
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:10,260
day they pick the trash up at 7:30 and
next day they pick the trash up at next

919
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:13,600
time pick trash up at 7:00. You know,
[clears throat] I said like to get a a

920
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:18,400
consistent time. They just start
changing all of a sudden, you know.

921
01:22:16,239 --> 01:22:24,239
» But that's about it. And I have seen the
um givers on fourth row. I see there has

922
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:28,719
been some a little bit more cleaner. I
just wish we could either rent a a truck

923
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:33,280
or something just to suck up all the
debris, all the gravel. I think it looks

924
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:37,440
so much better, you know. But it is
getting better, you know. The other day

925
01:22:34,639 --> 01:22:43,040
I was picking weeds out of my out of my
um uh little island there cuz you know

926
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:46,480
it needed tending too and I that's my
first time out 22 years. I said no I

927
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:51,120
can't look at this anymore. Why would I
get my little bucket and I swuck around

928
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:57,120
but you know
they did a good job has done some people

929
01:22:54,320 --> 01:23:03,440
see it the difference but that's it.
Thank you. May I ask a question?

930
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:06,960
Do you have called for the grass cut or
they just happen to cough once a month?

931
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:11,920
I just did it so [clears throat] long
and you I get that number. I could have

932
01:23:08,639 --> 01:23:20,679
put the number on that one,
>> you know.

933
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:20,679
» Yeah. Yeah. I think in another state

934
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:30,400
they renting out a lot.
>> Yes.

935
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:33,760
» Yeah.
Yeah. Right. Every now and then I can

936
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:38,000
see the light on and people there but
then they grass. They only cut it once a

937
01:23:36,639 --> 01:23:43,040
month and when they cut they don't pick
it up. It's just like block. Can I make

938
01:23:40,639 --> 01:23:47,199
a comment? Excuse me. Make a comment
regarding what's going on with the

939
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:51,040
building department. To the credit of
the building department, I happen to

940
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:55,440
walk in the other day. There was a
meeting going on.

941
01:23:53,360 --> 01:24:00,560
That situation, when I say that
situation, uh the fact that these homes

942
01:23:58,480 --> 01:24:07,440
are being bought up by corporations,
>> yes, is being tracked. the building

943
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:12,239
department there has started a I guess
it's um a software package where they're

944
01:24:10,239 --> 01:24:19,360
now going to be able to track a little
closer

945
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:24,400
um uh homes that are uh rentals are
rentals versus those that are owner

946
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:29,600
occupied. So you should see some
improvement

947
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:37,600
because we all we always had ordinances
in place to monitor those but it felt

948
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:41,120
kind of felt way out. So that particular
issue which is major now because

949
01:24:39,679 --> 01:24:45,440
» yeah it is major because like I said
that platform has been there for at

950
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:48,960
least 5 years I think that platform
that's in their backyard.

951
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:53,600
» So and like the building department said
it's a pretty much good little

952
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:57,840
» padding or whatever that's around it but
it's been there a long time. young

953
01:24:55,199 --> 01:25:01,520
animals are are going to burrow
underneath it, you know, and there's a

954
01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:05,920
lot of rabbits back there and other
things, but that grass needs to see some

955
01:25:04,480 --> 01:25:09,679
improvements because I understand.
>> Are they going to be able to walk behind

956
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:13,360
the houses? In fact, that's the person
back now. They don't see that the grass

957
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:19,199
is 2 ft high or just like you got the
picture. Uh I think between you and I,

958
01:25:15,679 --> 01:25:23,600
you can see it from the next street.
>> Yes, you can see it. So, they can get

959
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:30,000
pictures. Okay. Okay. But it is being
addressed. All right. Tiny. Oh, is it

960
01:25:26,719 --> 01:25:36,480
Tony or Tony? Tyler. Tanya. Are you
talking about the house directly in

961
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:43,520
» Okay. The house directly in back me
house. It's the house on the other side.

962
01:25:39,199 --> 01:25:46,520
Next. Next. Uhhuh.
264504.

963
01:25:48,159 --> 01:25:57,800
» Yes. We have 86 homes and it's just
sitting here all the solder

964
01:25:58,639 --> 01:26:06,239
comments.
This is Mayor Nichol. We you will be

965
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:10,800
receiving in the mail a uh it's a rental
registration form. So even if you aren't

966
01:26:08,639 --> 01:26:15,360
a renter, if you know of a house down
the street uh that you think is a

967
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:19,760
rental, put it on the form and send it
back. So, it will be a mass mailing

968
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:23,520
asking, "Is your home a renter?" So, if
the person who's in the home is renting,

969
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:26,880
we would hope that they would send it
back. But if you get that and you say,

970
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:31,199
"Oh, I'm not renting my house." But if
there's a scenario where you know that

971
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:35,040
there's a home that you might suspect
has a rental, please put it on the form.

972
01:26:33,679 --> 01:26:39,040
That's good cuz that's what we do. You
know, so when someone comes to our

973
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:44,080
office and want to do a transfer, that's
the first thing we have.

974
01:26:42,239 --> 01:26:48,800
We ask is it a rental or will you stay
there? You stay there. You get 2 and 12%

975
01:26:46,480 --> 01:26:53,520
credit because you live your home.
>> The program is being put in place by

976
01:26:50,639 --> 01:27:00,199
your staff. Okay. Murphy, can you step
up? Thank you. Thank you.

977
01:26:57,199 --> 01:27:00,199
» 417.

978
01:27:02,639 --> 01:27:09,520
Human beings. All human beings leave a
trail

979
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:14,639
and they know what
there's a lot of things that were done

980
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:20,719
not only for the kids but for the
grown-ups. We had a train ride which was

981
01:27:17,679 --> 01:27:25,520
a beautiful thing at the holidays. Uh
how about Valentine's Day? We used to do

982
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:30,320
that. We [snorts] used to do the
Cleveland Orchestra.

983
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:36,080
None of that has been done in two years
now. I don't know why

984
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:40,960
someone can't look and see what was done
and keep it going. The holidays are for

985
01:27:39,199 --> 01:27:45,840
families.
Soda camp is for the kids. The grown-ups

986
01:27:43,440 --> 01:27:51,120
want to get out with their kids and have
a good time.

987
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:55,040
So, what's the problem? Why can't we do
this? It's easy.

988
01:27:53,280 --> 01:28:00,880
I've been busy,
but we need mics at the table so we can

989
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:06,639
all listen and hear what everybody is
saying because some of us have ear

990
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:12,880
problems. We have problems. So why can't
we have something that we all speak to

991
01:28:10,159 --> 01:28:20,080
where everybody can understand? I know
we can hear that word when it say money.

992
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:24,480
Everybody can hear that. But before that
and after that,

993
01:28:22,639 --> 01:28:29,199
none of these people can't hear that.
They're older. I'm older. I got a

994
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:33,280
problem. I need to understand what you
all are saying.

995
01:28:31,199 --> 01:28:39,199
And what can be done? And by the way, I
need somebody to start coming up on Buck

996
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:48,320
and doing doing some kind of traffic
thing because the people from every have

997
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:54,679
to come through and is like
traffic.

998
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:54,679
The way of speed

999
01:28:54,800 --> 01:29:02,280
or something or something
speed

1000
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:11,679
» I'm sorry I said I was just suggesting
we did it on the road speed trailer

1001
01:29:09,679 --> 01:29:15,440
please a little trailer tells you how
much you're going and if you're going

1002
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:20,000
past the speed limit it I mean just a
slow down just to you know give them a

1003
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:20,000
second

1004
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:29,520
Thank you.
One edition of Mr. Murphy, we are I'm

1005
01:29:27,199 --> 01:29:33,679
going to talk with our finance director
to uh review pilots of speed bucks.

1006
01:29:32,480 --> 01:29:37,840
There are two streets that have been
brought to my attention. One's Red

1007
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:42,800
Trail, one's Booker of the kids going
down to the park, but we can add Buck

1008
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:46,400
Thorn to that list. uh their
>> speed humps

1009
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:50,480
» their speed humps that we could put um
and to you know we would only know if

1010
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:55,120
you call and let us know. So we're
trying out those two streets and we can

1011
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:58,800
add buckorn to the list or put it in the
budget for next year. I see I see the

1012
01:29:58,159 --> 01:30:03,040
eyes.
>> Well, everybody's a lot of people in the

1013
01:30:02,159 --> 01:30:09,280
book.
>> When you get to the stop sign,

1014
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:13,520
» one second and they call. They never
stop

1015
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:19,400
at the stop sign. The stop sign. You
might as well not be there. One second.

1016
01:30:16,159 --> 01:30:19,400
They stop.

1017
01:30:20,719 --> 01:30:27,280
» I'm sorry.
Sit there for a while. Sit there for a

1018
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,280
while.

1019
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:32,600
redo that and

1020
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:39,800
» all right. Thank you.

1021
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:46,159
» Good evening. My name is Melinda Hart. I
live at 73273

1022
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:55,679
Avenue. I'm sure you are all glad to see
me. I did not want to thank

1023
01:30:50,159 --> 01:31:00,239
um for our mayor, captain, council, Mr.
Attorney Montello,

1024
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:04,880
finance council clerk, and all the
people who took the time to come out

1025
01:31:02,480 --> 01:31:10,080
today.
I have um prepared a statement. I've

1026
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:15,520
timed it. is 5 minutes. But as I sat
there, I felt temporarily anyway

1027
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:23,520
compelled to address uh council person
Warren's long detailed statement and the

1028
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:27,840
reaction of council. But I decided I'm
just going to let that speak to itself

1029
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:33,600
because it actually supports what I
prepared

1030
01:31:29,440 --> 01:31:39,600
before [snorts] my statement. Captain,
is there any information on the

1031
01:31:35,199 --> 01:31:44,719
disorderly conduct charge
from the July 4th incident on Wright

1032
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:47,600
Avenue? And were there any additional
charges?

1033
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:52,320
» No, that's the only charge that's been
filed is going to court right now.

1034
01:31:51,233 --> 01:31:56,473
[clears throat and cough]
I don't know if it's at the pre

1035
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:58,800
pre-trial stage or not, but
[clears throat] it's it's still pending.

1036
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:03,040
» Thank you.
>> Yes.

1037
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:07,520
» Okay. The other question is because uh
we don't have to skirt the matter. There

1038
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:12,239
is a recall petition blown around for
the mayor. My question is if the mayor

1039
01:32:10,159 --> 01:32:19,239
is recalled, who becomes the acting
mayor?

1040
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:19,239
» I would. Thank you. Okay.

1041
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:33,000
just a little bit.
>> Okay, I got you.

1042
01:32:33,199 --> 01:32:43,199
» My statement is I as well as other
people here tonight are concerned about

1043
01:32:39,440 --> 01:32:46,639
the state of our village. Yes, it is our
village.

1044
01:32:44,719 --> 01:32:51,920
I've been to many meetings in the last
15 months.

1045
01:32:49,040 --> 01:33:00,000
I said to a comment about the police
don't wave at us, you don't smile at us.

1046
01:32:56,400 --> 01:33:07,040
And in the next breath,
you were reverted for

1047
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:12,080
overreacting to a clear disorderly
conduct situation

1048
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:19,199
when you were just doing your job.
I have to wonder about us. What are our

1049
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:23,360
priorities? Do I want you to smile at me
or do I want you to be there when I need

1050
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:30,239
you? I would like to have a happy
balance, but if not, be there when I

1051
01:33:26,719 --> 01:33:38,560
need you. And so far, I can say that
over Police Department is on their job.

1052
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:42,800
Now, I have watched the antics and you
have too tonight.

1053
01:33:40,719 --> 01:33:50,719
the disrespect
and the overriding increasing arrogance

1054
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:58,080
of this council. You don't consider us.
You have your own agenda as you

1055
01:33:54,000 --> 01:34:03,679
accomplish through emergency measures
and special needs.

1056
01:34:00,639 --> 01:34:08,239
The other thing is why don't you take
that business

1057
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:15,440
time
when the public is here

1058
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:20,400
you take it but you schedule special
meetings now I may be mistaken I am

1059
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:25,920
accountable
but I believe you have had over 25

1060
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:30,880
special meetings since January
and in that you only required to give us

1061
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:36,400
12 hours of those hours to the time they
pursued, but that's what the uh charge

1062
01:34:34,480 --> 01:34:41,159
says and we're going to change that.
Okay.

1063
01:34:38,159 --> 01:34:41,159
Um

1064
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:49,280
I spoke to a colleague who is a former
council woman for Cleveland City

1065
01:34:47,430 --> 01:34:54,159
[clears throat] Council.
She said in the

1066
01:34:52,000 --> 01:35:00,960
third
they didn't have

1067
01:34:56,320 --> 01:35:04,239
25 special meetings in 16 years but we
know that you accomplish most of what

1068
01:35:02,719 --> 01:35:09,040
you want to do in special meetings
because you don't have an office. Yes,

1069
01:35:06,719 --> 01:35:12,040
you took them for you. You all feel the
disreg.

1070
01:35:24,639 --> 01:35:33,520
We know that the second Tuesday and the
next month we're going to have a

1071
01:35:30,639 --> 01:35:39,760
meeting. We have two weeks on this. You
will accomplish all of these things that

1072
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:44,960
have nothing to do with the city of the
residents of the only has to do with

1073
01:35:42,719 --> 01:35:52,600
changing or
position changing titles how I can stay

1074
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:52,600
here and how I can

1075
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:59,480
minister
for many years um

1076
01:36:00,719 --> 01:36:04,760
sorry my child

1077
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:11,800
moved village and we didn't have

1078
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:15,400
nothing.

1079
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:20,520
So what is it about?

1080
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:28,840
What is it about now that I really chaos

1081
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:37,679
like me saying these things. I'm trying
to impress you,

1082
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:42,320
but you can't see it yourself. At least
listen to what I say and try to put

1083
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:49,040
yourself in competition when you sit up
here and hear you see you act like that.

1084
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:54,520
see you disrespect our mayor.
I don't like that. And it was

1085
01:36:57,199 --> 01:37:04,982
the same conversation. You disrespect
him. I wouldn't like that either. I want

1086
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:07,002
you to know that
[clears throat]

1087
01:37:07,119 --> 01:37:16,679
you are the author of confusion, chaos,
distrust

1088
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,679
and pressure.

1089
01:37:26,159 --> 01:37:34,320
You shall always be your shall always
be. You should always be able to show

1090
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:38,960
these people
how

1091
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:47,080
it may turn.
I keep looking for

1092
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:47,080
I keep looking for

1093
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:52,600
somebody.

1094
01:37:56,480 --> 01:38:04,480
Now
we're going to make sure that the

1095
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:12,239
history of our own village will reflect
this time in history. All right,

1096
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:20,600
collectively and finance everyone
who have caused our

1097
01:38:16,159 --> 01:38:20,600
village to deteriorate.

1098
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:31,960
This is not about you.
are we the people you serve us.

1099
01:38:34,159 --> 01:38:41,400
» Thank you.
Now I said what I said with a lot of

1100
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:41,400
love

1101
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:52,119
this morning.

1102
01:38:58,719 --> 01:39:04,679
Um, so
I fast

1103
01:39:07,440 --> 01:39:15,760
question.
How many hours right now? How many of

1104
01:39:13,199 --> 01:39:21,560
you are sitting in an elected position
or

1105
01:39:17,679 --> 01:39:21,560
seat that you're in now?

1106
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:34,800
Who was appointed to their seats and who
was showing the hand of the individuals

1107
01:39:31,679 --> 01:39:42,880
who were recently appointed to their
positions in their ward but not elected

1108
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:47,719
hand race that's one
appointed any positioned

1109
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:54,199
we Yes, we have so

1110
01:39:55,840 --> 01:40:02,520
then we have a third candidate who would
have been appointed

1111
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:18,960
by you and he was recently
uh you know

1112
01:40:15,679 --> 01:40:27,480
it appears to me that he was recently I
was appointed by you all but yet removed

1113
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:27,480
by you all at the same time because

1114
01:40:27,679 --> 01:40:37,400
I think it looks like he wasn't on your
team even though you appointed him to

1115
01:40:38,480 --> 01:40:47,600
things of that nature and this list who
is a member of my community that my

1116
01:40:45,440 --> 01:40:57,360
board um
Dubai from his position based on this

1117
01:40:52,639 --> 01:41:02,600
council recommending a resolution
of basically saying that she

1118
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:17,199
was trying to represent our board my
board and the entire council because he

1119
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:22,159
council all of Anyway,
he was recently during the time you all

1120
01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:26,480
were on recess
removed or forced to be removed from his

1121
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:30,960
position. I'm not going to go into
anything that has to do with legal or

1122
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:36,080
anything. I just want the residents to
be aware of that because they have no

1123
01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:44,239
clue. [clears throat] Um the other thing
is um we also have this gentleman Mr.

1124
01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:50,719
James who was appointed to this position
um after someone else had been put in

1125
01:41:46,719 --> 01:41:58,320
that seat and in January all of a sudden
games are played and se

1126
01:41:54,800 --> 01:42:02,199
my question is this first thing is this
while we are being

1127
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:14,639
asked to go to polls
one in January one in

1128
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:20,639
And there's a potential plan for us
to have to go to the polls one more

1129
01:42:17,199 --> 01:42:27,440
time. That's three times in this year
based on what you want.

1130
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:34,320
Me personally, I am tired of wanting
especially if it has anything to do with

1131
01:42:31,199 --> 01:42:41,600
village and especially since we are in a
major transition. We have the same hair

1132
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:50,560
for 30 years. I have 15. I promise you
that when

1133
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:56,239
we went to vote in 2024 for the
presidential election, I can bet you the

1134
01:42:54,239 --> 01:43:03,280
majority of these people back here did
not understand the charter change that

1135
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:09,600
was put in place in 2024
that said if anything happened to the

1136
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:20,080
mayor, we would have the vote vote for a
new mayor within 120 days.

1137
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:25,679
Prior to that charter, the charter read
in the event something happens to the

1138
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:31,679
mayor, the seat will rotate the person
in that seat will be that person who had

1139
01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:40,239
the council at large who held the most
amount of votes for the electors in that

1140
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:43,880
previous election. So somewhere in 2024
we were all sleeph

1141
01:43:49,679 --> 01:43:55,000
and we see all presidents

1142
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:12,800
that
the But [laughter] but what happened

1143
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:17,520
long story short we would not be having
the same

1144
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:21,239
we would have
that lo

1145
01:44:23,837 --> 01:44:25,857
[laughter]

1146
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:37,647
or
neighborhood

1147
01:44:35,627 --> 01:44:37,647
» [clears throat]

1148
01:44:38,639 --> 01:44:48,880
» to your face. Quit running
for bull crap to begin with. There is

1149
01:44:46,480 --> 01:44:53,600
absolutely nothing wrong with what's
left in this chart. And for you all to

1150
01:44:51,520 --> 01:45:02,000
continue [laughter] to try to make hard
changes to affect

1151
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:05,719
whoever you are trying to
find out

1152
01:45:07,440 --> 01:45:17,639
in order to do them. Please stop. First
of all, you know, half the time

1153
01:45:14,639 --> 01:45:17,639
this

1154
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:28,280
politic
my ex. We don't

1155
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:35,239
do
I don't like that.

1156
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:40,119
Thank you.

1157
01:45:43,679 --> 01:45:51,239
about it.
No, I'm you

1158
01:45:57,600 --> 01:46:01,000
put on

1159
01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:17,320
your ballot. This is about the valley
is Oh

1160
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:23,639
his
god.

1161
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:47,239
We are

1162
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:57,960
Nice.

1163
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:09,000
I

1164
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:22,920
want you.

1165
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:29,914
I'm afraid of you.
Amen. [clears throat]

1166
01:47:36,320 --> 01:47:39,639
Don't be afraid.

1167
01:47:50,719 --> 01:47:55,480
Really?
>> Yes.

1168
01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:12,560
Okay. Couple years ago, my house, right?
Um when we called um 911, they couldn't

1169
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:18,080
find Oak Village anywhere on the list.
So they said Northfield and O'Neal,

1170
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:21,480
right? O'Neal. I just want to make sure
that you guys

1171
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:30,280
are

1172
01:48:36,670 --> 01:48:38,690
[laughter]

1173
01:48:45,679 --> 01:48:56,000
let me introduce myself. My name is
Denise Thompson and I only child of late

1174
01:48:53,360 --> 01:49:03,920
detective James Thompson and Rosie
Thompson who also worked on campaign and

1175
01:48:59,920 --> 01:49:08,080
I will be here for years and
I have great respect for the police

1176
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:15,119
department. I want to make that clear.
on July 4th, someone spoke on my behalf

1177
01:49:13,199 --> 01:49:20,000
uh in regards to what happened on Grand
Avenue.

1178
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:26,480
People take a look at what's happening
nowadays. Look at Have you seen what you

1179
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:32,000
are doing? Have you seen the streets?
Have you seen seen you getting killed

1180
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:35,480
for nonsense
on that Sunday?

1181
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:48,040
tell you and say thank you. Correct. You
are going to put on us because I

1182
01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:48,040
remember

1183
01:49:49,679 --> 01:49:55,719
we had all we had trans radio

1184
01:49:59,920 --> 01:50:07,960
and most of you remember this
1968 on Friday

1185
01:50:11,199 --> 01:50:20,159
It affected me because my father at the
time was picking a prisoner in Atlanta.

1186
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:27,520
They told me that here
if you recall

1187
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:32,320
was the leader and the one that we were
going to do everything but honor the

1188
01:50:30,639 --> 01:50:36,159
person who had been who had been
assassinated

1189
01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:40,719
wisely
that day and I was only 15 years old at

1190
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:46,239
the time and I remember that day going
to each and every saying we would not

1191
01:50:43,440 --> 01:50:51,719
disperse this man's name. We will act
accordingly.

1192
01:50:48,239 --> 01:50:51,719
That's the same

1193
01:51:03,840 --> 01:51:06,840
me.

1194
01:51:14,480 --> 01:51:22,199
All I'm saying is that all I'm saying is
that when we

1195
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:25,960

1196
01:51:29,199 --> 01:51:32,199

01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:31,400
profession.

1213
01:53:33,040 --> 01:53:41,320
The rotation and the movement that you
saw here in this community was

1214
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:41,320
unprecedented.

1215
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:45,000
unprecedented

1216
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:51,000
when

1217
01:53:56,000 --> 01:54:07,159
when the former mayor passed away,
things happened that had never happened

1218
01:54:02,480 --> 01:54:07,159
before in this community.

1219
01:54:10,639 --> 01:54:22,080
things that we thought we didn't ever
have to worry about became a problem.

1220
01:54:18,239 --> 01:54:26,880
I want this community to know
this night.

1221
01:54:24,400 --> 01:54:34,920
This night,
this community

1222
01:54:29,679 --> 01:54:34,920
was in an unstable condition.

1223
01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:40,280
and

1224
01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:50,400
the musical chairs. That is exactly what
it look like. Musical chairs. But I want

1225
01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:57,760
you to know it hasn't been easy.
It hasn't been easy. And yes, we could

1226
01:54:54,000 --> 01:55:03,679
have walked away, but we didn't. But we
didn't. And I stand on that. I stand on

1227
01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:11,920
that.
I did not want to move. My my career was

1228
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:18,719
over and I speak for me this time
for me.

1229
01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:22,719
It won't be my song. I want you to know
I'm not I'm not the savior. I know

1230
01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:26,760
everything. I have made some real
mistakes while sitting here.

1231
01:55:27,040 --> 01:55:33,119
But I'm going to tell you something.
It's not because I didn't try. It's not

1232
01:55:31,289 --> 01:55:40,960
[laughter] because I didn't try. And if
I am not professional in any way, I

1233
01:55:36,480 --> 01:55:49,040
apologize this night for this community
because my desire is to serve you. I

1234
01:55:44,159 --> 01:55:56,080
make no wrong about why I'm here. None.
No apology. And yes, I am.

1235
01:55:52,880 --> 01:56:02,159
I really am. But I made no mistake. But
I made the choice to do this chair

1236
01:55:58,719 --> 01:56:08,080
because this has been rough. But I tell
you what, we're almost there.

1237
01:56:04,880 --> 01:56:11,719
We're almost there. And [clears throat]
we have Era

1238
01:56:12,159 --> 01:56:15,159
here

1239
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:19,480
and I apologize

1240
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:34,480
and I have respected that. I want you to
know this night that as as as long as

1241
01:56:32,320 --> 01:56:41,360
I'm sitting here, you will be respected.
I apologize. But the fact that we we

1242
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:47,119
were musical chairs was because we were
trying to save lives

1243
01:56:43,840 --> 01:56:50,679
and and anything that done outside of
that I

1244
01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:54,440
so

1245
01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:06,800
but it was not matter of trying to power
or control it was the order of

1246
01:57:04,560 --> 01:57:11,440
secession. All
right.

1247
01:57:09,199 --> 01:57:17,719
» I want to say something. Yes, sir. 2
minutes.

1248
01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:17,719
» Anybody ever watch

1249
01:57:28,239 --> 01:57:31,239
734

1250
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:38,880
Avenue? [clears throat]
Yes.

1251
01:57:35,199 --> 01:57:45,119
I'm I'm interested cuz the city is man
for this video and I think y'all just

1252
01:57:42,719 --> 01:57:50,400
need to take when you before you start
making just 2 minutes and tell everybody

1253
01:57:47,679 --> 01:57:54,880
how to go on YouTube.
It's easy on your phone and need to sit

1254
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:57,360
at home to watch the meeting if you
don't feel like coming out.

1255
01:57:56,080 --> 01:58:02,719
» Yes,
>> that's important.

1256
01:58:00,400 --> 01:58:07,960
» All meetings today and for
>> Yes.

1257
01:58:04,239 --> 01:58:07,960
No, just

1258
01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:28,880
» so it's important for people to know
what's going on and they want to know

1259
01:58:27,520 --> 01:58:34,320
what's going on.
>> YouTube is easy to get. Just going turn

1260
01:58:31,679 --> 01:58:38,560
your phone on, put in the app, and you
click on it. And once you put over your

1261
01:58:36,639 --> 01:58:41,560
hair, you watch it every time it comes
up.

1262
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:57,920
because this question was really
directed to to the rec department. As

1263
01:58:54,239 --> 01:59:02,080
far as um having um activities for
family enrichment, we did do the Lion

1264
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:08,800
King this year.
>> We did the MLK orchestra and we also did

1265
01:59:06,320 --> 01:59:14,719
the science center. Those were all
family entertainment where children

1266
01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:21,840
parents brought their children and had
an awesome time. Last year I did a a an

1267
01:59:18,400 --> 01:59:25,920
annual wall I had to cancel because I
didn't get the participation.

1268
01:59:23,920 --> 01:59:29,320
So things are going forward with the
director department

1269
01:59:29,920 --> 01:59:38,239
that we're looking for
is out there is from January is

1270
01:59:35,679 --> 01:59:43,280
completed from January to December and
every

1271
01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:50,560
when it comes to the town I don't give a
participation I have to cancel. So we

1272
01:59:47,199 --> 01:59:56,080
doing the best we can but if if it is
not true they say to

1273
01:59:53,360 --> 02:00:01,920
love
and I had a lot of things together and

1274
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:07,119
no one came. So, we had an awesome time
at the

1275
02:00:04,239 --> 02:00:10,599
We had an awesome time at the science
and we had awesome

1276
02:00:11,920 --> 02:00:16,273
family
[laughter]

1277
02:00:25,760 --> 02:00:32,280
with a certain amount of subscribers.
early

1278
02:00:33,920 --> 02:00:43,520
to last remote meetings. Um, so I ask if
you guys subscribe so everyone in the

1279
02:00:40,960 --> 02:00:49,239
village can have transparency. Um, and
we can move

1280
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:49,239
every day.

1281
02:00:58,793 --> 02:01:00,813
[clears throat]

1282
02:01:02,320 --> 02:01:08,673
Mr. I like the idea that you guys

1283
02:01:15,040 --> 02:01:19,159

1284
02:01:22,373 --> 02:01:24,393

So we already had data center part one
and we had an overall it was like a data

actual owner of a data center there so

1293
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:48,159

NDA water pollution. So there is no data

promoting it either way but this is a

1296
02:02:54,639 --> 02:03:00,239
way for us to have those conversations.
the building department will be here

1297
02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:04,800

what's going on when we remove
session legislation to the agenda.

1335
02:11:34,159 --> 02:11:41,560
It then required a legislative number.
Okay.

1336
02:11:50,960 --> 02:11:57,560
gave you
a 9.

1337
02:12:01,199 --> 02:12:05,239
The legislation back

1338
02:12:07,520 --> 02:12:12,840

That's right.

1346
02:13:45,199 --> 02:13:50,280
Yes.
But guess

1347
02:13:53,667 --> 02:13:55,687

Yes.

1352

emergency.

1353
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:20,639
Let me explain that. so that they get
money tomorrow if they didn't have

1354
02:15:17,679 --> 02:15:25,440
emergency there.
So now

1355
02:15:22,480 --> 02:15:32,880
they get money tomorrow. That's why
that's the reason for

1356
02:15:29,199 --> 02:15:39,199
students that they have to show.
So we have to wait until they start

1357
02:15:35,599 --> 02:15:46,599
college again like now and wait until
they show sign

1358

made. But we have to wait until they
