This is the meeting of the Port 7 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:59,240 of Village Council. It is Monday, July 27th, and it is 7:00 p.m. The meeting is 8 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,120 called to order. If we could all stand, pledge allegiance. 9 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,200 I pledge allegiance >> to the flag of the United States of 10 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,600 America, and to the republic 11 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:17,880 for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and 12 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,880 justice for all. 13 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:26,520 » Thank you very much. I could have the roll call of the 14 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,520 sitting council members, please. 15 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,920 » Fritz >> Here. 16 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,880 » Green >> Here. 17 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,200 » Hayden >> Is absent with notice. 18 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,920 » Bocker >> Here. 19 00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,480 » Bunton >> Here. 20 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,400 » Holt >> Here. 21 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,120 » Rosenberry >> Here. 22 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,840 » Uh that takes care of the roll call. Next is the approval of agenda. Before 23 00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:51,520 we move forward with that, I would be remiss when I came in today, uh both 24 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:55,320 manager and clerk had given us each a copy of the uh 25 00:01:53,040 --> 00:02:00,560 uh the letter from the uh auditing firm that we use to do our 26 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:06,000 audits and uh, he asked if this be added to the agenda. Uh, I told him that yes, 27 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,920 we can certainly add it to the agenda but as a discussion item and that he 28 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,440 went on to say how imperative it was that we uh, approve this amount of money 29 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,640 or we have to come back for a special meeting just to do so. So, we can bend 30 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,880 one rule and accomplish two things at once if we add this to the agenda. We 31 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:28,800 could then make it item E for to approve the money for the audit. If not, we can 32 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:33,480 wait another month and by then I think that ship will have sailed. 33 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:38,160 So, I wanted to just point that out so that everybody's aware. If we do approve 34 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:43,959 the agenda that it will be a item which we voted on on item E 35 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:49,720 as the audit or funds to uh, approve an amount up to to to cover our 36 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,720 audit for this year. 37 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,560 With that being discussed is uh, 38 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,440 Well, before I ask I'd like to say does anybody have an objection to this 39 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,600 addition? The addition itself, not the entire 40 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:09,560 agenda but just adding this now instead of a special meeting in a couple of 41 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:14,000 days. I don't. We're we're here but I wanted 42 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,600 to point out that typically we would not be able to vote on something that is 43 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,959 added right away. That's just uh, as a policy and rule rules of order because 44 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:26,720 it's not fair that anybody didn't get a chance to review it ahead of time. So, 45 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,360 we I think it's uh, prudent of us to make that exception 46 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:36,120 uh, this time and I do want that to be noted in the uh, minutes as well. So, 47 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:40,440 with that in mind is there a motion to approve the agenda? 48 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:46,080 Motion to approve the agenda with the addition of under new business E audit. 49 00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:51,480 » Support. >> Okay, moved and supported for a final 50 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:56,160 agenda for us to work from tonight. Uh, all those in favor say I. 51 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:59,640 » I. All those opposed, this agenda is now official. 52 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,760 Approval of council minutes. Uh 53 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,760 You knew that copies of the village council meeting of 6/22 is here for our 54 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:12,640 approval. But moments ago, our village manager Pete mentioned to me there were 55 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,360 a change or two maybe that you would like to point out to us before we vote 56 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,640 on it. >> Yes. 57 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:24,760 If nobody has anything else, item B, which is on the last page of 58 00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:31,200 number 11, deputy treasurer onboarding. It says has on the second line, it says 59 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:34,320 has become proficient. Actually is is is becoming proficient. I just want to make 60 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,880 that clear cuz she does need more training and I want to send her through 61 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:41,880 more training. I just want to make sure we have in here the right verbage for 62 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:46,160 the for the minutes. That she is becoming proficient. She is not 63 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:50,600 proficient yet. >> Uh that change in the minutes makes 64 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,800 perfect sense to me. Um So, we can approve those minutes with 65 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:59,400 the changes just mentioned by the village manager. 66 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,400 Should be treated as a 67 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:09,200 » I'll make a motion to approve the village council 68 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:14,680 meeting minutes from June 22nd, 2026 with the correction as noted. Uh 69 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,840 » Wait, moved and supported to accept the minutes. Those in favor say 70 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:23,240 I. Those opposed. 71 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:28,880 And that motion does pass unanimously. Next is a 72 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,360 an acceptance item, which is first up committee meeting. 73 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,680 Boy, you guys seem like you covered a lot of territory today. 74 00:05:33,398 --> 00:05:37,360 » [laughter] >> It seemed like 75 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:41,720 there too the would have been hard to give it a word and what all the all the 76 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,560 business you guys talked about. So, although I did like to read all about it 77 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,560 because it does keep the rest of us informed as 78 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,560 to what's going on. So, those minutes meeting 79 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:56,440 are going to be accepted as forcing record keeping within the Village of 80 00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,160 Ortonville and they will be at file in the Village office if anyone else want 81 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,200 to check out those minutes. And 82 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:07,480 that's an accepted fighting that we will accept. 83 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:11,720 Next is disbursements and June disbursements in the amount of 84 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,720 $70,766.49. 85 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:20,840 I jumped out a little when I first saw that amount for the expenditures, but 86 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:24,760 that was there were a couple of things on there 87 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:28,840 that made that jump way way sky high as to what we're usually used to seeing and 88 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,360 uh if you want to just highlight those 89 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,400 items for us that or just briefly tell us why that's a higher number. 90 00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:40,960 » Certainly. Um the $12,000 of that is actually grant money that we got from 91 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,160 the county that belonged to DDA that just comes to us and we just we hold it 92 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,200 and then we pay it up to them through our account. This is comes out of our 93 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:52,240 bank. So, $12,000 of that and then another $2,500 was also to the DDA. 94 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,680 So, that's those those two items right there I think are one of the biggest 95 00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:00,840 ones. We had um uh a couple of our veterans that we 96 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,400 gave back their their tax money to get them 97 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:07,960 » Yeah, it's on the June Yeah. >> Oh, okay. So, even though that's a large 98 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:13,040 amount, it's understandable why that number is as 99 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:17,640 high as it is, but besides that I looked at the other items and they seemed like 100 00:07:14,919 --> 00:07:21,280 normal expenditures and that that our amount would be more in line with what 101 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:26,000 we're used to seeing uh if not for those items. 102 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,800 Does anyone have any questions about the disbursements? Uh 103 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,720 well, let's make a motion and then we can discuss it if you 104 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:40,160 » So, that's what he needs to do. >> I make a motion to approve the June 105 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,160 disbursements in the amount of $70,766.49. 106 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,960 » Support. >> All right. 107 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,720 » Move to supported and now if anyone has any questions on any of the line items 108 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,280 that appear with Ed Mack, uh as balance will be tied to check with 109 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:59,840 the manager or anybody on the village staff who may be aware of this an 110 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:04,280 expenditure but they did again seem all in in accordance with what we're used to 111 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,280 seeing. 112 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,480 » Yes, sir. >> I just wanted to let the board know 113 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:14,880 these are going to be elevated for the next few months because as we have tax 114 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:19,360 money's coming in, we're still paying off last year's debt. So, we're going to 115 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,040 have extra expenses for the next two or three months. 116 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,720 It's just going to be elevated from normal. 117 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:31,320 » And in your opinion, to be expected? >> I expect to be have all that debt paid 118 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:36,479 off by the end of September. >> Okay, great.

Um making sure that all the old 192 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:19,040 documents are updated hopefully in the next little bit so that we actually have 193 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:24,839 current information on things. And then a combo with the IT is to 194 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:28,320 figure out how to get maybe a SharePoint to where we can have all the policies on 195 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:32,760 there so that personnel and council members can see everything without 196 00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:36,880 losing it and not having it 197 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,880 accessible. Um and then I worked with Pete on the 198 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:46,480 marijuana flyer that came out that everyone probably got 199 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:50,680 um to try and figure out that and to write the article for the citizen and 200 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,560 the website.

Um 227 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:37,480 If anybody didn't get a chance to read it, it's lengthy and it's very 228 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:41,360 inclusive of the things that we usually look for. Most importantly is approval 229 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:45,080 from the police department and approval from the fire department. And those look 230 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:49,480 like they've been taken care of.

Uh of course, this has been ongoing so most of us are 287 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:18,760 aware of it for many many months and if this is able to 288 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,720 put to rest some of those concerns that it's 289 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:27,080 is a good thing and also as the manager mentioned if if we 290 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:30,840 aren't officially giving up any overall authority that we can't reclaim that 291 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:35,160 some other later date that's another thing so 292 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,320 sounds to me like there is a uh parachute here somewhere should we need 293 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,120 one. >> Yes. 294 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:43,960 » Okay, that being said and this being an 295 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:48,240 an agreement between us and another governmental body I'd like to have a 296 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,240 roll call vote. 297 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,400 » Brooks? >> Yes. 298 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,840 » Green? >> Yes. 299 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:57,000 » Bonfiglio? >> Yes. 300 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,560 » Buttsu? >> Yes. 301 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,920 » Boldt? >> Yes. 302 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,920 » Wisbar? >> Yes. 303 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:09,600 » Okay, we can move forward with our building department agreement and that's 304 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:13,400 that. Item C is 141 Mill Street variance the same almost all of it we've done 305 00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:18,120 that because we just did this at a zoning board meeting but we do need to 306 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:23,640 put it on our official meeting minutes for this so rather than rehash what we 307 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,960 just went over half an hour ago this is something I believe we can just make a 308 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:35,080 motion to approve vote on it and continue on. 309 00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:39,720 » I make a motion to approve the 141 Mill Street variance 310 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,000 as presented in the zoning board meeting. 311 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,840 » I'll support. >> Okay, moved and supported again there's 312 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:49,280 if there's any further discussion we can do that but we did 313 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:54,680 all go have a chance to go over it in the zoning board meeting so I believe 314 00:20:51,400 --> 00:21:00,280 we've covered that angle pretty well. Um because it is a a variance I'd like a 315 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,280 roll call on this one as well. 316 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,720 » Boldt? >> Yes. 317 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,920 » Buttsu? >> Yes. 318 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,200 » Bonfiglio? >> Yes. 319 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,640 » Green? >> Yes. 320 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,120 » Brooks? >> Yes. 321 00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:12,760 » Whitsberry. >> Yes. 322 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:18,680 Okay, the balance street variance is now a part of the official minutes of this 323 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:24,440 meeting and will be recorded as such. Uh next is uh the marijuana ordinance. 324 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,160 Um another topic that we probably covered 325 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:33,480 more than just about anything in the past 5 years or 6 years. Well, I'm not 326 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:37,480 sure how long, but it popped up on our agenda again. 327 00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:41,200 Uh last month or so we had a discussion with the planning commission about this 328 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:45,440 and it seemed that there was some question as to whether 329 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:52,440 uh the drive-thru window was going to be for pickup only or for new orders and it 330 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:57,240 was uh it was determined that if it were a drive-in window, it could just be for 331 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:02,320 picking up orders that were previously made and not where someone can pull into 332 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:06,760 it nine kids in their car and just make an order and pick it up at the window. 333 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:11,720 So, it sounds uh not important, but it was us. So, that 334 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:16,800 was the change we made. Uh the idea of a drive-thru window is has 335 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:22,240 been tested many, many times in different jurisdictions and uh it is 336 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:25,880 always always been upheld. So, I think it's better that we at least uh 337 00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:29,960 put a restriction or two on what we're going to have so that we could have a 338 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:34,760 little better control over it. The planning commission went over this and 339 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:40,240 they're the ones who approve it and uh I do as well. And uh 340 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,960 And again, just for anybody who's here, it doesn't have anything to do with the 341 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:48,240 marijuana business itself or whether they are licensed or whether they have 342 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:53,400 the right permits. That's kind of items that have already been addressed and at 343 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:57,200 this point certainly can't put the toothpaste back in the tube 344 00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:02,320 or the genie back in the bottle, but we can make the with the we can approve the 345 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,440 requests that the Planning Commission has made to us. 346 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:13,160 » I make a motion I make a motion to approve the amendments to the marijuana 347 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:17,520 ordinance including intersection distance and the drive-thru window 348 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:22,320 provisions. >> Support. 349 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:27,240 » Okay, with the support cuz this is a a change or an addition to our current 350 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,160 ordinances, I would just like to ask that we do a roll call vote on this as 351 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,160 well. 352 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,080 » Brilliant? >> No. 353 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,960 » Brooks? >> Yes. 354 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,800 » Walker? >> Yes. 355 00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:41,400 » Watson? >> Yes. 356 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,800 » Poole? >> Yes. 357 00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:47,000 » Rosenberry? >> Yes. 358 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:50,080 » Uh the motion casts uh four to two. 359 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:55,600 Uh that takes us past the ordinance issue and 360 00:23:52,200 --> 00:24:00,360 brings us back to our added items or no, yeah, added items of P which is our 361 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:04,840 audit. As I mentioned in our opening uh statement, we Pete just received this 362 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:09,720 either today or yesterday and it's going to require some action on our part 363 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:12,960 immediately. Therefore, we I will ask the council to 364 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:17,520 uh if they haven't had a chance to review it, uh I can have Pete summarize 365 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:22,280 it for you. Re- really what we're doing here is uh 366 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:27,120 approving village manager to spend up to $19,000 for this year's audit. This uh 367 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:31,880 if anybody remembers, our last year one was uh 368 00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:35,520 about $4,000 more and this is a maximum amount too, so we're still hoping that 369 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:40,800 through negotiation it can come in a little bit lower, but uh I for one don't 370 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:44,800 want to delay this process because that's part of the reason 371 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:49,040 we got under the under the 372 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:53,600 underwater uh last year because we didn't even get our 373 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:58,720 audit completed until December and it wasn't even given us until February. So, 374 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:03,600 uh that's something that we need to be cautious of and do anything within our 375 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,080 power to avoid that type of a scenario again. 376 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,080 » Can I make a comment? >> Yes, you may. Certainly. 377 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:17,120 » Um just so you know, guys, just I just received this this afternoon. And um 378 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:21,200 the uh we're going to start our audit is it officially going to be 379 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:25,000 going until November 2nd. But we have a ton of work to do for 380 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:29,360 them. And this is what this is going to allow us to do is get all the paperwork 381 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:33,000 and everything sent over to the to the auditing company so they can be prepared 382 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:36,440 everything. And then when they come in at November 2nd, it should be a bing 383 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:40,120 bang boom. Should be able to go really quickly. Um 384 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:42,960 that that that didn't happen last year is my understanding is that they had to 385 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,880 come in last year, the reason why it was so high, and they actually had to do 386 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:50,240 reconciliation and journalizing for for us. And that that's that's not what they 387 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,960 were paid to do. We have people to do that. 388 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:56,040 So, we're going to just pay them to do the audit. So, hope this is going to 389 00:25:54,200 --> 00:26:00,600 allow us to get started, get all the paperwork to them so that they can come 390 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:04,760 in and do the audit uh immediately. We have everything signed on November 2nd. 391 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:09,080 » Okay. And you're aware if it does happen to exceed that amount that uh that would 392 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,920 require additional board approval. >> Yes. 393 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:17,680 » Okay. >> Make a motion to um approve the village 394 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:23,920 manager to go ahead and um >> And so that 395 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:27,840 » approve this audit not to exceed 19,000. >> Support. 396 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,240 » Okay. Uh moved and supported. Does anybody have further comments on it? I 397 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,400 ain't talking. >> I have a couple of questions. 398 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,200 » Yeah, sure. >> Just just because it's so new to me, is 399 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:38,920 that like is that a normal amount or I mean, is 400 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,680 that This is less than what you guys had the previous years. 401 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:45,680 » It's less than we did last year. The previous years, I would say it's still a 402 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:50,720 little bit higher. I believe a couple years it's been 14. Like I Like again, 403 00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:55,960 I'm hoping that it does come in lower anyways. And a lot of that's going to do 404 00:26:53,240 --> 00:27:01,000 with as he mentioned and Scott will verify is as much prep as we can do that 405 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:04,960 we never did before or we haven't done in the past and we haven't done it 406 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:09,040 correctly. The auditing firm had to basically reinvent the wheel when it 407 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,840 came to our books. They had to reconcile the bank accounts that should have been 408 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:18,760 done. They should They had to do things with checking account and bank accounts 409 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:23,800 that was not properly done last year and that's what caused that amount to go up. 410 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:27,040 I think our auditing costs are going to just be based on how well we're prepared 411 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,520 for. Is that accurate? 412 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:34,840 » Yeah, that 19 is the top. That's the That's the top that that it'll cost us 413 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:39,000 and they're they're also saying hoping it's going to be less also. 414 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:42,120 » The reason I was asking is because when I think the auditor's name was Ken. 415 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,200 » Yeah. >> He said $9,000 and we thought that was 416 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:49,680 so steep back or I shouldn't say we but you guys thought it was so steep back 417 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,640 then and you're vacillating whether it should be done or not. 418 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,680 » That was >> an interim type audit. 419 00:27:54,440 --> 00:28:00,200 » I think that was the That That was when we were talking about having a pre-audit 420 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:03,160 to find out from what >> Actually, what the the reason they they 421 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:07,200 were cheaper, I believe and I wasn't here for that, but it's because there 422 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:13,000 was already another auditing firm that had done in theory the first 6 months 423 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:16,640 and so Ken was only having come in review their work quickly, but then 424 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000 really only had the audit the second half of the year. 425 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,040 » Okay. >> So, I think that's why he came in less 426 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:25,040 because he had already paid another auditing firm some money already. 427 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:29,200 Uh some get some things I didn't really 428 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:32,720 understand of what what I backed down so >> So, Scott, according to you, this all 429 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,960 looks as a very reasonable >> In fact, it could be a little higher cuz 430 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:40,000 I don't know and we'll have to talk to them. I don't know if that includes 431 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:44,640 preparing our financial What I mean by preparing our financials is that after 432 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:48,360 the audit is done, for instance, Ken does it for the township as well is that 433 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,480 there's a report that have to just be sent to the state of Michigan. I don't 434 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,960 think that I don't think things are sent probably but to the state of Michigan 435 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,600 and he prepares all that but he doesn't do it for free. 436 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,440 Um but it's really something that he's better equipped to prepare those 437 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,400 documents than we would be here. But even the township 438 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:09,600 has elected to have him do this for >> Okay. 439 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:13,560 And if as much as it stands as a statutory requirement that any 440 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:17,600 municipality that uses or collects taxpayer money is 441 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,520 required to submit audits such as this. So 442 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:25,160 we don't even get we don't even get a choice. We can just shop around and find 443 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:29,720 somebody cheaper but I don't recommend that we do this and I would say that 444 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:33,360 Cannan and Skiles are are well equipped to perform what we 445 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,800 need very professionally. 446 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,800 » Okay. 447 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:44,480 » Okay. Again and uh 448 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:48,360 This is not something normally done but it's added to the agenda and we 449 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,000 discussed it and I do believe it's our best interest to vote on it at this 450 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,080 time. Uh do you want a roll call? 451 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,360 » Brinks? Yes. Doctor? 452 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,680 » Yes. >> Bunton? 453 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,920 » Yes. >> Zane? 454 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,560 » Yes. >> Schultz? 455 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,760 » Yes. >> President Gary? 456 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,600 » Yes. Okay. You can move forward with this and 457 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:14,840 let them know that the board has approved it. Give them any soon signed 458 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,720 documentation and indicating that. >> Yeah, it probably needs to be amended so 459 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,120 we'll get those. >> Okay. As soon as it's ready to be uh 460 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,120 move up the chain. >> Yes. 461 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,480 » I'll make sure there aren't any delays on our end. 462 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:28,200 » Thank you. >> Well, thanks very much for that 463 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:33,200 information and I'm glad we got to put that behind us for now. Uh takes us 464 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:36,880 to item 12 which is village manager. Uh there's just a couple items on here 465 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:41,880 but I wanted to bring something to our point in in the village manager report 466 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:47,240 in general. Sometimes there's four or five items on there and I would just 467 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:50,880 like us to you know when he addresses a particular item that he get to do it 468 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,960 from start to finish and then we can fire questions away all day long. 469 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:59,080 Sometimes we end up getting off into the weeds on something and it's something he 470 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,440 was going to cover anyway. So we'll give him an opportunity to make a 471 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:06,080 statement we can take all the notes and ask all the questions we want once he 472 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,680 tells us that 473 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:13,360 that report is completed with what he can share with us at this time. 474 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:17,560 And that's just a courtesy that I keep him, you know, on task and not get you 475 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,360 know, confused several different items at once. 476 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,560 » Sounds fair? >> Sounds very fair, sir. Thank you. 477 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:28,880 Um with that being said, just I do have a I do have a few more items that are 478 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,480 that I want to talk about that aren't on there on my on my thing. It's a very 479 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:36,440 they're very short. One is American Bloom. We did this I did this with the 480 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:41,120 DDA two weeks ago. American Bloom came out. 481 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:44,160 We walked our whole village two different days. I was only there for 482 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:48,960 the Thursday, but they just gave us some great ideas on how we could pretty much 483 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,640 beautify our our our our our village. Um 484 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,800 Uh and that at very low cost. So, nothing that we're going to be doing 485 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,200 right away, but it's things we're going to be getting a a large report from them 486 00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,360 here in the in in the very near future and it's 487 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,160 going to indicate all the things that you know, what we were able we're going 488 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:07,040 to be able to do or can do. Whether or not we can afford them or not right away 489 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,600 is one thing, but it's just a nice it was a it was a great 490 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,800 um a great little event that the DDA put on 491 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,760 and Melinda was there also with us. Melinda and me and Melinda both did it 492 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,680 together. It was a um I thought it was a great event. 493 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:22,880 Learned a lot about the village, learned a lot about our trees and our plants. 494 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:26,400 So, very interesting. If anybody want to know any more about it, come see me and 495 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:29,600 I'd love to talk more about it. Um we already talked about the audit. 496 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:34,680 Thank you for that. We'll get that started right away. DPW sign over on 497 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:40,840 Nearing Street. Or I'm sorry, it's on Cedar Street. It's um I got a 498 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:45,000 an email from a citizen indicating that she would really like to paint that sign 499 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:49,040 for us and take care of it for us. So, I I asked Bob and Bob said that would be 500 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,560 awesome to have someone paint it. We're going to buy the paint. Bob's going to 501 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:58,280 prep it and then she's going to paint it the the DPW sign the Ted Veit DPW sign 502 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:01,120 there. It looks nice. Her name is Jamie. She lives in the village. Um I'm not 503 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,760 going to give her last name or address at this time, but she said that she's 504 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,080 going to take care of this for us. So, we're pretty excited about that. 505 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,920 » Will it be using the colors that have been used? 506 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,720 » Yes. Yes, we're going to That That was one of the things that Bob said he had a 507 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:15,080 hard time trying to find a paint for it, but we're going to do as best he can to 508 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:19,240 match them with the back. Um EV charging station, I know a couple 509 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:23,360 different trustees have asked me about the EV charging station.

Maybe maybe having them 517 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,640 removed or maybe not. Just a We just want to make sure that we have them 518 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,000 there and they're doing the right thing for our community. 519 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,920 If we're paying for them, we want to make sure they're getting used. 520 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,520 Anybody Yeah, so are there any questions on that?

I do know that it's the older charging unit, so it is slow charge. So, 523 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,879 people will probably drive past it to go to the next one. Uh 524 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,240 » People. >> Yeah, so I think it's either get rid of 525 00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:22,240 » outdated. >> Yeah, it's either get rid of it or look 526 00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:25,639 for the that are quality one if they are willing to give us one, right? 527 00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:27,800 » That is an option of upgrading it. Either upgrading it or yeah, getting it 528 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,560 out. >> Got it. 529 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:36,879 » I had some comments to my uh daughter's family has gone um completely 530 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:40,800 EV and they drove up here from Ohio and he had got his little map out and 531 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:46,960 there are hardly any of the fast charging pumps 532 00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:50,000 anywhere near us and I said wow that how does this makes us very difficult 533 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:54,080 doesn't it he said it's only difficult when you travel most people who have 534 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,159 electric cars charge at home. 535 00:34:54,800 --> 00:35:00,200 » Yeah. >> Um so this is only something that is 536 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:05,400 used by people who are traveling here.

As long as it got used with enough hours 543 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:31,000 on it or however they gauge the use on it that it doesn't cost the village 544 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:34,920 anything but I don't understand why we need to be paying for somebody else's. 545 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:38,240 » Yes.
