It's the same facts. It's the same salary that everybody had before me and that show you that people are really, really geared up by people salary 513 01:03:03,460 --> 01:03:09,280 That's sad because I didn't know how much nobody made I ran cuz I care and I just want to fix my town 514 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:14,700 Didn't care about the salary why cuz any of y'all that know me know you know that I am a business person 515 01:03:14,700 --> 01:03:19,640 Business person had everything I got before politics well up politics 516 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:28,000 everything.

So when we go out of state or we go out of town, we bring back money 518 01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:38,580 to our community. And that's how we're able to create programs for you. And we make up 519 01:03:38,580 --> 01:03:46,780 a budget instead of fighting me and talking math come help. Don't hinder help. People can 520 01:03:46,780 --> 01:03:51,600 You said that out there now because it sounds good running off your tongue, but it don't mean it it starts with us 521 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:54,140 It's a shame that it's black on black crime 522 01:03:54,140 --> 01:04:00,020 I'm already got a lot of racial stuff that come my way, but it's a shame when I got to fight my own people 523 01:04:00,020 --> 01:04:03,780 It's like dying here every night. I got to fight to prove my love. Why? 524 01:04:04,500 --> 01:04:10,760 When y'all know I care I've shown you that you've seen that y'all know this these are facts 525 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:16,680 People that don't live here don't know what goes on it don't they don't know where y'all come from or where we are 526 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:24,360 That's why you hear everybody testimony saying hey, you're the only mayor that done this. I've been beg for this for 30 years 40 years 527 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:30,140 It's how long I've been here. I've never seen anything that I've come hitting the ground running 528 01:04:30,140 --> 01:04:35,120 Making sure I provide everything that you access me. You guys say you want more sidewalks done 529 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:39,520 You guys say you want street repayment at least fix tree trim. I go get it 530 01:04:39,940 --> 01:04:43,580 But it's shameful that the board when you get here. They gotta shoot down 531 01:04:43,580 --> 01:04:49,500 I don't get grant money and bring it back and all they have to do is vote for the money being in a resolution 532 01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:56,660 We went into what we got $600,000 to build a water park right there on Greenwood Falls 533 01:04:57,180 --> 01:05:02,760 While our communities they had the same thing that we all run to we all take our money out of our community 534 01:05:03,940 --> 01:05:06,980 Everybody because we don't have nothing here to choose from 535 01:05:06,980 --> 01:05:10,640 But I said enough of that we're gonna make something to choose from 536 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:16,540 We're gonna have restaurant room 10 sit down restaurants who don't want that you got a three-story restaurant 537 01:05:16,540 --> 01:05:22,220 Again built right there off of a Lincoln and sibling come on all glass elegant stuff 538 01:05:22,220 --> 01:05:29,120 Who don't want that you got your own ice-prinked steering your own basketball course your own errors 539 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:33,220 Well, you can have a family reunion or a gathering for you on your time who don't want that 540 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:39,960 People wake up you got to want more than what people tell you about me can in your ear you have to 541 01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:45,320 but it starts with you. You have to make that change two day. Don't wait. Make 542 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:52,180 the change two day. So with that being said, I just want to talk to y'all about 543 01:05:52,180 --> 01:05:55,320 all the things I had going on and all the things I've been doing for the 544 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:59,980 community. So I just want to leave you with that because it's mayor's report and I'm 545 01:05:59,980 --> 01:06:04,300 a move forward so we can get through our agenda and our board package because we 546 01:06:04,300 --> 01:06:07,440 got a lot of stuff to talk about this evening but I wanted to give you some 547 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,940 positivity before we start our board meeting because it always start positive but it always go left 548 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,860 because at the end of the day state facts don't lie up here state facts 549 01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,220 all right next on the agenda mayor's veto 550 01:06:21,660 --> 01:06:23,520 the veto is 551 01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,540 no happy 552 01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:29,360 so there's a veto for 553 01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:35,000 a secret scorer meeting that the board trust he's had and they had a secret scorer meeting at 554 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:41,720 the park district. Anyone that knows how government works, you guys are a violation of 555 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:47,380 all the means act. It is more than two, three, four, you guys is considered a corn. You 556 01:06:47,380 --> 01:06:52,480 cannot and should not be having secret scurramids. It's a shame that the Board of Trustees left 557 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:58,500 the board meeting that was scheduled that Monday and went to have their own look fake mayor. 558 01:06:58,780 --> 01:07:03,740 I guess he won't be called mayor so bad meeting that Tuesday with the same exact agenda that 559 01:07:03,740 --> 01:07:05,860 that we had on Monday, make it makes it in shawl. 560 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,760 You could have had of the same business here 561 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,620 that you wanted to go have at your fake meeting 562 01:07:10,620 --> 01:07:12,460 that you should have had here 563 01:07:12,460 --> 01:07:14,320 when the entire body was here. 564 01:07:14,980 --> 01:07:16,600 Myself, the actual mayor, 565 01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:18,420 and also the two trustees, 566 01:07:18,660 --> 01:07:20,340 trustees stand around, trust the Andrew House. 567 01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,040 The clerk even involves herself by getting in the mess 568 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,140 when she's supposed to be a neutral factor in it all, 569 01:07:26,460 --> 01:07:29,540 for those that don't understand how the Paula tricks works. 570 01:07:29,940 --> 01:07:32,240 You always stay neutral because there's no sign. 571 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:39,060 your job is to do your job, not follow nonsense. So with that dancing head, I am 572 01:07:39,060 --> 01:07:43,700 V2 in their meeting for, I don't even know the date, what was the date? 573 01:07:49,810 --> 01:07:51,650 Okay. So the 574 01:07:51,650 --> 01:07:58,810 things that I am V2 in is the approval of an estimated levy in 575 01:08:02,140 --> 01:08:02,600 or what else? 576 01:08:04,860 --> 01:08:05,040 Yeah, 577 01:08:05,500 --> 01:08:08,140 and I'm gonna let the attorneys find a little more, but I just know that it was the 578 01:08:08,140 --> 01:08:11,760 estimated levy and she said it's one other thing. So in course I just 579 01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:16,300 Society State and Open Means Act violation. That's the other thing that you're in violation 580 01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:19,940 of. So I'm going to let the attorney speak to it so you can understand what's going 581 01:08:19,940 --> 01:08:20,100 on. 582 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:26,800 Yes, thank you very much, Mayor. On December 5th, the Board of Trustees held a special 583 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:31,380 meeting at the Dalton Park District and at that meeting, one of the agenda items was 584 01:08:31,380 --> 01:08:37,200 a motion to accept and approve the preliminary estimate of the 2023 property tax levy collected 585 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,140 in accordance with the Truth and Taxation Law in Illinois. 586 01:08:41,380 --> 01:08:45,680 My understanding, and the mayor's understanding that when the Board of Trustees did this, 587 01:08:45,780 --> 01:08:52,980 they also may have approved the actual levy, however, state law requires that there be 588 01:08:52,980 --> 01:08:58,980 a 20-day gap between the approval of the estimate and the approval of the actual levy, and there 589 01:08:58,980 --> 01:09:03,920 was no 20-day gap, so they couldn't have actually approved the levy on December 5th. 590 01:09:04,380 --> 01:09:09,000 So the mayor is vetoing both the estimate of the approval of the estimate of levy and the 591 01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:14,460 a purported alleged levy that was approved December 5 as it did not comply with the Open 592 01:09:14,460 --> 01:09:18,140 Meetings Act because the Open Meetings Act, or I'm sorry, the agenda item did not 593 01:09:18,140 --> 01:09:23,540 say approval of the levy. And in addition to that, it does not comply with Illinois property 594 01:09:23,540 --> 01:09:29,860 tax code, specifically section 18-60, which again requires that not less than 20 days prior 595 01:09:29,860 --> 01:09:35,060 to the adoption of its aggregate levy. The corporate authorities of each taxing body 596 01:09:35,060 --> 01:09:41,360 should determine the amounts of money that they're estimating for the levy. So in our 597 01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:45,860 in the mayor's opinion as well as in our legal opinion the action did not comply with state law. 598 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:53,160 Thank you. All right. Thank you so much. So that's for the mayor's veto. So we're going to move 599 01:09:53,160 --> 01:10:00,060 forward. We do have executive session. We're going to get through everybody's reports and we'll try 600 01:10:00,060 --> 01:10:02,560 to go through. Does she leave attorney? 601 01:10:11,670 --> 01:10:15,110 Okay, so we have to do a close session item, but we're 602 01:10:15,110 --> 01:10:19,950 going to get through the reports and then we will go to close session and come back up. So next, 603 01:10:20,090 --> 01:10:21,210 we have village clerks report. 604 01:10:26,590 --> 01:10:32,710 All right. No report. No, why not? Been all for a long time.

So the problem I have with you guys comments 831 01:54:07,340 --> 01:54:12,160 aboard meetings and acting as though I don't get things I don't appreciate. I think this 832 01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:16,500 year you should tell the truth that you guys don't do your job. And if you need information, 833 01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:22,160 you should ask for information that you feel you need. Don't get to a board meeting and put 834 01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:27,100 on a show. How are you going to trust the house when you don't even know where to start? 835 01:54:27,100 --> 01:54:32,640 You have to leave stop leading blind. You're leading them blind and y'all following him 836 01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:36,520 That's the sad part about prime example. This is a what's 837 01:54:37,020 --> 01:54:45,540 Electric warrant list. That means they did what's already spending so how dare you get here and showboat for the people out there 838 01:54:45,540 --> 01:54:47,920 In the audience you already know what it is 839 01:54:47,920 --> 01:54:53,520 So why we sit here playing this game wasting time saying I'm gonna take this out that out 840 01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:59,760 This already been paid. Come on now stop playing. This is 2024. Let's move forward. Let's handle the business 841 01:54:59,760 --> 01:55:04,820 Stop letting the business handle y'all because y'all keep coming playing games. I'm just over it 842 01:55:04,820 --> 01:55:11,140 Like come on. Let's focus on the business move forward and if anybody know what our authorities are up here 843 01:55:11,140 --> 01:55:19,640 Which let me remind you if my thought is $5,000. Y'all pulling out $200. $100. Stop it. If it hits the thought is $20,000 844 01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:27,640 let's stop it. That's what I'm saying. It's a show. Stop sending the people off. Let's move forward 845 01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:34,720 with the business. It's a electric warrant list. That means it has been paid. But go ahead 846 01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:39,740 for the optics. If y'all want to do that, uh, Colorado, clerk, Mayor, you asked for discussion 847 01:55:39,740 --> 01:55:44,080 there. I was trying to speak and you start talking so can I? No, I didn't start talking. I didn't hear 848 01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:47,300 you say anything. But if you want to say something, it's just asked to be recognized again. 849 01:55:47,300 --> 01:55:52,880 We're gonna be going to run this is the way supposed to let's let's be respectful follow robber who's a order 850 01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:59,180 But go ahead since we got something to say now. I do have something to say. It's an electronic warrantless 851 01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:04,840 Electronic also you keep and you made it very clear that these have been paid 852 01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:11,640 Last meeting which I said and the finance director wasn't here at that time, but I'm so glad she's here now 853 01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:15,040 She stated that we didn't have a credit card anymore 854 01:56:15,880 --> 01:56:22,040 because she said the trustees cut it off the show okay so if we don't have I 855 01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:26,800 requested an email could we get the final statement because if we had to 856 01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:32,840 receive the credit card since May of 2023 and she stated that we cut it all no 857 01:56:32,840 --> 01:56:38,160 documentation has shown that has been cut off so what card are they using outside 858 01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:42,860 of ACH debits okay before you start here I'm gonna give you the floor let's 859 01:56:42,860 --> 01:56:48,640 clear some things up. You guys did cut it off when you guys are on unexplained so you know you guys 860 01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:55,360 had control of the bank account that trusty house did illegally and clerk key went illegally and 861 01:56:55,360 --> 01:57:01,240 hijacked the bank account for entire year. You know like I know anybody understand money know that you 862 01:57:01,240 --> 01:57:08,940 cannot see anybody's information with someone else's on the bank account. That's what I'm speaking of. 863 01:57:08,940 --> 01:57:10,020 You're going to let me finish. 864 01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:10,380 Oh, yeah. 865 01:57:10,440 --> 01:57:11,600 As I said, we have to be respectful. 866 01:57:11,820 --> 01:57:12,620 You say you owe stuff. 867 01:57:12,740 --> 01:57:13,180 I be quiet. 868 01:57:13,280 --> 01:57:14,240 You got to be quiet when I talk. 869 01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:19,300 So what I'm saying is that if you guys have done that, which I'll do, that's trustees, 870 01:57:19,920 --> 01:57:24,300 no one up here could see anything that y'all was doing for an entire year. 871 01:57:24,460 --> 01:57:28,360 We didn't have access to anything because Jason House was on the bank account. 872 01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:31,160 And so I was out of thinking the mayor wasn't on it. 873 01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:37,420 So we couldn't call, check it, check in, see what was going on because you guys was holders 874 01:57:37,420 --> 01:57:38,220 on the account. 875 01:57:38,220 --> 01:57:43,920 So that's number one number two. I'm a let her respond to your question because you get here to board meeting 876 01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:45,760 And you don't pick up the phone call my phone 877 01:57:45,760 --> 01:57:50,360 Hopefully you'll do that this year since you said you want change and you want us to work together 878 01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:55,720 It has to start by starting trust about you can't see and say that out your mouth and then don't do it 879 01:57:55,720 --> 01:58:01,080 So we want to see what happened because you could have called if you had questions instead of coming put on the science show 880 01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:04,140 We just did for an entire year. Y'all should be tired of it 881 01:58:04,140 --> 01:58:09,220 Y'all should be ready to actually do some progress in the village besides see here, and we are going over 882 01:58:09,880 --> 01:58:14,700 Hornlets come on now people do working our village. They should be paid for the work they have done 883 01:58:14,700 --> 01:58:19,020 But yeah, y'all hold a progress hold a people hostage picking the chosen who y'all want to pay 884 01:58:19,020 --> 01:58:21,080 That's not right. That's discriminatory 885 01:58:21,080 --> 01:58:25,360 You guys are discriminating against people because what they didn't get y'all money for y'all these tools 886 01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:29,980 Like why do y'all pull people out of this trustee house y'all need to stop with the mess 887 01:58:30,420 --> 01:58:31,100 Go ahead 888 01:58:31,100 --> 01:58:38,840 finance the record. Good evening. Our bank accounts do not have a debit card to be clear. The credit 889 01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:44,960 cards are issued by the bank. The last card was cancelled or suspended in June by whoever had 890 01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:49,480 administrative rights over that account, which is not anyone sitting up here. Thank you. That's 891 01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:57,160 sad. So the last statement that you received was in June for that account. Okay. The last statement we 892 01:58:57,160 --> 01:59:03,640 received was in May. I said it and I was very clear when I said it. I said in 893 01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:08,580 communication because you just stated be respectful to people. Not not your 894 01:59:08,580 --> 01:59:14,340 change any comes off into the mayor be respectful but Janice Johnson had access 895 01:59:14,340 --> 01:59:18,780 to the council for mayor for you to sit there and say only the clerk and Jason 896 01:59:18,780 --> 01:59:22,960 House that's an absolute lie because she cussed the check so I'm sure she wasn't 897 01:59:22,960 --> 01:59:29,580 kind of checked blindly. Also, we have stuff on this list from June. She makes the decisions 898 01:59:29,580 --> 01:59:34,500 where checks go out, which I'll tell her to hold and not hold. So that means she had 899 01:59:34,500 --> 01:59:40,780 access because we had emails from the bank that showed the people that had access and control 900 01:59:40,780 --> 01:59:46,760 because at some point you guys stopped letting the clerk and Jason House even see what was in 901 01:59:46,760 --> 01:59:52,560 account and they had to send the information via email. So don't get up here and say nobody 902 01:59:52,560 --> 01:59:56,460 had access to the account because Janice Johnson and I'm sure the finance 903 01:59:56,460 --> 01:59:59,560 director's engineer had access. Nevertheless, 904 02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:07,140 I just want to be very clear because I requested if you're saying that it was counsel, show us the 905 02:00:07,140 --> 02:00:13,040 June statement that was counsel because for at some point or some shape form of fashion when you 906 02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:18,140 did get back on the bank account and the clerk was on the account at the time, the last statement 907 02:00:18,140 --> 02:00:23,300 started showing the American express card that's been used through the police department. 908 02:00:28,820 --> 02:00:29,380 When 909 02:00:29,380 --> 02:00:34,240 originally had $3,000 here, $3,000 there that we were seeing 910 02:00:34,240 --> 02:00:36,540 and so we were moved from my viewpoint. 911 02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:41,420 Now it's 37,000, 50,000, 28,000. 912 02:00:41,560 --> 02:00:43,620 So that means that all of the transactions 913 02:00:43,620 --> 02:00:45,780 that was on the fifth third account 914 02:00:45,780 --> 02:00:48,660 have now been used through the American Express Card. 915 02:00:49,020 --> 02:00:50,920 I don't care if it's fifth third American Express, 916 02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:53,140 US Bank, we're entitled to it. 917 02:00:53,440 --> 02:00:57,180 So please just give us access to either accounts payable again 918 02:00:57,180 --> 02:01:01,520 on my viewpoint or the credit card so we don't have to sit here we can see what you 919 02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:06,720 spent it on and move forward I see something on here that trusty house took off which I 920 02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:10,720 would have been like oh I think I know what that is from the way that it's line item but I'm 921 02:01:10,720 --> 02:01:15,140 not going to sit here and find a battle that I don't have a receipt for. So just be fair. 922 02:01:18,680 --> 02:01:25,060 Jenis had access to CV account to print out bank balances which we had to do based on a court order 923 02:01:25,060 --> 02:01:32,440 Yeah, that's why we provided bank balances that was by court or right, but the mayor just said that nobody had access to it and 924 02:01:32,440 --> 02:01:36,900 Minnest rate of access was only by the two people who were over the account 925 02:01:36,900 --> 02:01:42,840 Which they were the only ones who could add or cancel any card on the account that was not something Janice could do 926 02:01:42,840 --> 02:01:49,160 Can't do not have that access correct any check that Janice cut has to be signed by those two people who had an administrative 927 02:01:49,160 --> 02:01:53,420 Access Janice could not issue a check without those signatures first preach 928 02:01:55,060 --> 02:02:03,300 No, you got trusty house or clerk key, they either want to y'all cut off the credit card.

If y'all take out people that supply us with things for water main breaks, 1158 02:15:29,660 --> 02:15:34,300 because we had a whole issue when y'all did the same dance or show when it was Thanksgiving. 1159 02:15:35,040 --> 02:15:36,560 And we didn't have any cold patch. 1160 02:15:36,640 --> 02:15:39,980 We didn't have nothing because you guys took it out of the warn list. 1161 02:15:40,400 --> 02:15:43,500 So how do you provide for the residents when y'all played his game? 1162 02:15:44,260 --> 02:15:44,900 Would you like me to respond? 1163 02:15:45,080 --> 02:15:45,960 You should respond. 1164 02:15:46,240 --> 02:15:46,480 Okay. 1165 02:15:47,040 --> 02:15:48,700 My statements have been the same for last four months. 1166 02:15:49,320 --> 02:15:52,700 We have bills that are piling up that are way past due. 1167 02:15:52,960 --> 02:15:53,740 We cannot afford them. 1168 02:15:54,300 --> 02:15:58,840 And yet we can see you to go out and get new bills and accumulate new things 1169 02:15:58,840 --> 02:16:04,920 Without following the budget without a plan just really nearly hey go over here you get 1170 02:16:04,920 --> 02:16:09,680 You get a plane ticket you get some restaurant food. So after after at the end of the day 1171 02:16:09,680 --> 02:16:15,980 We have to pay all of our back stuff public works again as public works been paying jet for their back pay for four years 1172 02:16:15,980 --> 02:16:21,140 Now we're past due that's a lawsuit that they can file at any given moment 1173 02:16:21,140 --> 02:16:27,980 We also have other unions that are four years past new we have tons of bills way past due in addition to the bills 1174 02:16:27,980 --> 02:16:31,280 that I just read into record that need to be taken care of. 1175 02:16:31,760 --> 02:16:34,640 So if those bills get taken care of first, pay your old bills first, 1176 02:16:34,880 --> 02:16:36,780 then we'll look at the new bills. That's my stance. 1177 02:16:37,000 --> 02:16:40,400 Okay, so that's excuses because at the end of the day, 1178 02:16:40,400 --> 02:16:42,460 we still got to provide the service of the resident. 1179 02:16:42,820 --> 02:16:46,300 We got to love your thought or how you feel about things and how 1180 02:16:46,300 --> 02:16:49,920 it's ran. Our job is still make do with what we have. 1181 02:16:50,500 --> 02:16:54,920 So right now, if we have to order concrete or need a, like I just said, 1182 02:16:54,920 --> 02:17:01,160 a water main fix, a whole patch. It's people that call us every day about things like that. 1183 02:17:01,400 --> 02:17:06,040 But you guys sit here and play this silly game and not take care of the people. Your job is 1184 02:17:06,040 --> 02:17:12,340 to provide for the residents. Yeah, you guys won't even pass a tax levy. You guys won't even pass a 1185 02:17:12,340 --> 02:17:18,600 budget. All these things warranted the things that you're asking to be paid, such as union negotiation, 1186 02:17:18,600 --> 02:17:23,020 contract and you just stated for the record you been here what six years 1187 02:17:23,020 --> 02:17:26,600 now so four years ago you just stated right four years ago you was the same 1188 02:17:26,600 --> 02:17:29,680 trustee sitting there right so these are the same problems y'all had four 1189 02:17:29,680 --> 02:17:35,020 years ago all we're doing is trying to clean up what has been broken for so long 1190 02:17:35,020 --> 02:17:39,520 and if you guys will just work with me and stop fighting on every little thing we 1191 02:17:39,520 --> 02:17:44,940 will be a whole lot further as a community it's no unity here all you guys 1192 02:17:44,940 --> 02:17:51,760 is create chaos, chaos agents. That's all y'all do is go and create mess. But with no solution. 1193 02:17:51,940 --> 02:17:57,100 Name one thing y'all have came up. We are done in this community. Nothing. All y'all do is say 1194 02:17:57,100 --> 02:18:01,500 point finger. Oh, she doing this. Oh, he doing that. But y'all ain't did nothing for other people. 1195 02:18:01,800 --> 02:18:07,960 Set prime example. We are going to try over concrete concrete that way within our purchasing power. 1196 02:18:08,840 --> 02:18:13,340 If our purchasing power is $20,000, we put it on that 2B transparent for the record. 1197 02:18:13,340 --> 02:18:19,060 Because y'all keep want to use that word, but all I'm asking you guys is do what's right stop picking and choosing 1198 02:18:19,060 --> 02:18:22,340 People to not pay if they did the work pay them 1199 02:18:22,340 --> 02:18:27,180 What is the issue pay them y'all voted last time to pay well or not y'all 1200 02:18:27,180 --> 02:18:30,900 That's when Tammy Brown flipped on y'all voted to pay everybody including her friends 1201 02:18:30,900 --> 02:18:34,720 But yet you and the clerk chose nothing even sign the checks 1202 02:18:34,720 --> 02:18:40,760 Y'all need to sign the checks after the board voted to y'all just say this how the game go right we put it up 1203 02:18:40,760 --> 02:18:45,280 They vote for it and whatever check come up. We supposed to sign them. Y'all didn't sign them at all 1204 02:18:45,280 --> 02:18:51,220 So let's talk about how you still got things sitting things sit because y'all refuse to sign the checks 1205 02:18:51,220 --> 02:18:53,680 So if you refuse to sign the checks, what does that mean? 1206 02:18:55,240 --> 02:19:00,540 That's my problem. Y'all have to do better trust the house. You can't want to leave people and can't leave, man 1207 02:19:00,540 --> 02:19:04,720 You got to do better. I keep telling you just cuz you got a suit don't make you suitable stop 1208 02:19:05,560 --> 02:19:08,080 Stop you got to do better than what you're doing right now 1209 02:19:08,080 --> 02:19:18,040 And right now you're doing is keeping up confusion keeping up mess. You got a grown man. All right moving on. Can I can I please make a statement? 1210 02:19:18,340 --> 02:19:27,900 Yeah, make a statement four years ago. We were not in this mess four years ago. Yes, we were correction. We were not in this mess. We were paying bills. 1211 02:19:27,900 --> 02:19:35,500 we did not have vendors emailing us on a weekly basis for non-payment. Yes, I did approve to pay my 1212 02:19:35,500 --> 02:19:42,740 friend and it is January 24th and my friend still ain't paid. Because your other friends didn't 1213 02:19:42,740 --> 02:19:49,640 find a place. So let's get that right. Let's just make it, you know, be for real, be 100, or not being paid. 1214 02:19:50,320 --> 02:19:56,200 You know, so this is nothing that nobody's doing a grandstand show. The emails are here. If anybody 1215 02:19:56,200 --> 02:20:01,080 would like to see them. I can print you a copy and I will block out the other information. 1216 02:20:01,580 --> 02:20:10,320 So yes, again, we were not in this mess four years ago. We were able to pay our vendors because 1217 02:20:10,320 --> 02:20:16,280 we followed the budget. That's the reason why you make a budget. And it is to be followed, 1218 02:20:16,620 --> 02:20:20,980 not to spend and do as you want to do, nearly willing. Thank you. 1219 02:20:20,980 --> 02:20:27,100 Okay, not true trusty let me take me down memory line. Don't y'all have somebody from five star me 1220 02:20:27,100 --> 02:20:33,840 And remember can't for this body and y'all owe him money from 2019 2017. So y'all wasn't paying y'all bills 1221 02:20:33,840 --> 02:20:36,500 Stop lying to the public. Y'all wasn't 1222 02:20:37,040 --> 02:20:42,540 Like I said, y'all got a grandstand on everything and we got the invoice to prove it y'all saw it 1223 02:20:42,540 --> 02:20:50,920 Your friend wasn't paid because your friends trusty house and clerk key didn't 1224 02:20:50,980 --> 02:20:55,200 not sign the check. And then I bought it up at the next meeting and I said, hey, they 1225 02:20:55,200 --> 02:20:58,960 ain't assigned a check. So what you going to do? And you said that, right? Didn't do nothing 1226 02:20:58,960 --> 02:21:03,500 because it was okay. They can't make up government. The problem is they trying to make up government 1227 02:21:03,500 --> 02:21:10,300 as they go. But all y'all do is keep losing. Y'all making up a fictitious play world of y'all run 1228 02:21:10,300 --> 02:21:15,780 stuff and y'all don't stop. I am the executive branch. Y'all are the legislative branch. That's it. 1229 02:21:16,640 --> 02:21:22,160 know your place, learn your seat, and that's the problem y'all got. Y'all overstelt. 1230 02:21:22,560 --> 02:21:27,660 Y'all have to know what to do and y'all don't. That's why y'all keep losing. Y'all getting 1231 02:21:27,660 --> 02:21:32,060 school from our attorney, the village attorney. Y'all gotta legislate a 1232 02:21:32,060 --> 02:21:36,000 county that y'all pay. Y'all talk about budgets, right? But y'all been paying that man, 1233 02:21:36,180 --> 02:21:40,980 right? Y'all been putting up on this night. Y'all been doing that trust. I'm talking out of order. 1234 02:21:40,980 --> 02:21:50,480 I'm you all right, so y'all keep on having this attorney come in. Make up these fake lawsuits that y'all keep losing 1235 02:21:51,960 --> 02:21:57,820 losing at the taxpayer's expense. That's what y'all keep doing. Y'all need to stop 1236 02:21:58,400 --> 02:22:05,580 But yeah, he's on payroll. Did y'all budget for that? Is it a line out of for that? No, it is no y'all didn't budget for it at all and 1237 02:22:05,580 --> 02:22:08,840 That is the problem. It's good for y'all but ain't good for us, right? 1238 02:22:08,840 --> 02:22:14,520 Y'all can do what y'all want more men and we say hey hold on y'all let's change this. Let's fix this. Let's do something different 1239 02:22:15,220 --> 02:22:18,480 Y'all keep talking about all that happy mediums. I told you that's all fluff 1240 02:22:18,920 --> 02:22:23,300 And then we get to this point and then we got to fight over bills pay the bills pay the vendors 1241 02:22:23,300 --> 02:22:26,040 They did the work. It's like y'all want us to have bad credit 1242 02:22:26,040 --> 02:22:31,960 Y'all want us to have a bad image to the public that we don't pay our bills. That's the image y'all got out there 1243 02:22:32,700 --> 02:22:37,860 Why because y'all get here and people scared to come and do work in our village?

It really doesn't make sense, but if we have to, 1419 02:32:21,920 --> 02:32:26,680 if it has to be vote put up there nine times, put up there 15 times for us to go and do it, 1420 02:32:26,760 --> 02:32:31,260 but just understand we talk about why the whole back and forth, the meeting is set up that way. 1421 02:32:31,720 --> 02:32:36,340 As board members, we can look at the package.

Corporate bills, we know that's 1423 02:32:41,000 --> 02:32:45,300 where it goes up. So like, well, I don't think even most people tune in until about an hour into 1424 02:32:45,300 --> 02:32:46,980 to the meeting so that way they get to corporate bills. 1425 02:32:47,860 --> 02:32:49,420 But again, the meeting is set up for an argument. 1426 02:32:50,160 --> 02:32:51,500 Sorry, they just set up that way. 1427 02:32:51,760 --> 02:32:54,140 And hopefully we'll do different things in the next meeting. 1428 02:32:54,740 --> 02:32:54,980 Thank you. 1429 02:32:55,060 --> 02:32:57,240 Trustee, that's definitely not true. 1430 02:32:57,700 --> 02:33:02,820 And then you should basically pause on the things you actually 1431 02:33:02,820 --> 02:33:03,100 say. 1432 02:33:03,580 --> 02:33:05,420 If you set up for argument, then why take the bait? 1433 02:33:05,980 --> 02:33:07,880 Stop it, because it ain't set up for argument. 1434 02:33:08,440 --> 02:33:11,860 The whole point is to show people that you're a lot full of crap. 1435 02:33:11,860 --> 02:33:19,640 Y'all put things up on here.

I don't think that it should be left up to you guys just to pick numbers and make cuts for whatever your reasons are. 1731 02:53:33,930 --> 02:53:41,130 I just think that you guys didn't do a good job of talking to the staff about the things you want to cut. 1732 02:53:51,120 --> 02:53:55,400 And then the lawyer just stated to me because these are the people that do all of the 1733 02:53:55,400 --> 02:53:58,400 limitations that we have current litigation is pending. 1734 02:53:58,900 --> 02:54:00,200 So we do in negotiations. 1735 02:54:00,680 --> 02:54:04,080 So how do we go to the table when y'all are cutting everything? 1736 02:54:04,760 --> 02:54:10,420 But this is how they put our ability in the financial condition that we're about to go in due 1737 02:54:10,420 --> 02:54:11,680 to your Board of Trustees. 1738 02:54:12,320 --> 02:54:14,020 So thank them when you see them in passing. 1739 02:54:14,460 --> 02:54:18,920 Thank them for all the mess because at the end of the day, all it takes is a conversation. 1740 02:54:18,920 --> 02:54:23,360 So you know what to do how to do it what people got going on in a department 1741 02:54:23,360 --> 02:54:28,580 Yeah, first is communication cat talk to people can't just make up stuff because you think this what it is 1742 02:54:28,580 --> 02:54:33,100 You don't run day-to-day. You wouldn't know what it is or talk to the V.A. He run day-to-day 1743 02:54:33,100 --> 02:54:36,660 But no one does that and now we found a vote on her budget that child 1744 02:54:36,660 --> 02:54:43,060 No, isn't right the child know the same what we need y'all know that right trustees 1745 02:54:43,060 --> 02:54:47,080 I'm throwing this out here. I'm hoping I change y'all mad y'all know we need better, right? 1746 02:54:47,080 --> 02:54:54,420 Y'all know we cutting down more trees where we're basically cleaning up the west side and that was starting on the 1747 02:54:54,420 --> 02:54:57,020 Saw side we putting up more street lights 1748 02:54:57,020 --> 02:55:02,140 And by cutting the trees back we can see the actual light on the block. Y'all do know we're doing streets 1749 02:55:02,140 --> 02:55:05,660 Y'all know we're doing alleys. Y'all know we're doing sidewalks when 1750 02:55:05,660 --> 02:55:07,960 Once upon a time they used to pay 50-50 1751 02:55:07,960 --> 02:55:11,500 Now the residents are paying nothing and that's still to see 1752 02:55:12,240 --> 02:55:16,760 CBGD grant that y'all took out of the budget. Why would y'all do that? That's money 1753 02:55:17,980 --> 02:55:25,260 What's wrong? I'm so lost at how you decided to come up with this list. How did y'all decide to come up with the list? 1754 02:55:26,060 --> 02:55:28,020 Trustee, how you decide to come up with this list? 1755 02:55:28,900 --> 02:55:39,960 Okay, so looking at the budget, we looked at the year's historical. And historical years, the items you're saying are cut out are not cut out their reductions to be realistic. 1756 02:55:39,960 --> 02:55:46,640 The budget that we were given had numbers that could not be substantiated, or I don't believe they could be substantiated. 1757 02:55:47,160 --> 02:55:54,140 We talked about in the last meeting we asked about the $6.8 million, the ledges $6.8 million that's coming. 1758 02:55:54,540 --> 02:55:58,960 It's an appropriation and asked when will it come, could not get an answer, ask that repeatedly. 1759 02:55:59,640 --> 02:56:08,420 And if there is a $6.8 million, when you complete a budget, you also have to fill out the expenses, which means it's going to be a net zero on terms of the budget anyway. 1760 02:56:08,420 --> 02:56:23,720 So all these, and we talked about, oh, overtime police, before this administration that did not have security details following them around everywhere, overtime was at $600,000 maximum, maximum every year. 1761 02:56:24,320 --> 02:56:32,260 This administration is at 1.6 million. How are we going to get service? We need the mayor to stop spending money irresponsibly. 1762 02:56:32,800 --> 02:56:35,600 that's where the reductions came is awful all of the 1763 02:56:36,440 --> 02:56:36,840 and 1764 02:56:39,460 --> 02:56:43,540 all the expenses that were not necessary until this one came in. 1765 02:56:43,780 --> 02:56:47,300 And she even said in here, oh man forget that I'm going to double it. 1766 02:56:47,400 --> 02:56:47,640 Yes. 1767 02:56:47,780 --> 02:56:52,460 That's the reason that we have vendors calling because we can sit here and put it down there. 1768 02:56:52,480 --> 02:56:55,560 But the minute that you go out there, tell a vendor you're going to do it. 1769 02:56:55,680 --> 02:56:58,660 And then there's not enough money in the bank which is what we're running into today 1770 02:56:58,660 --> 02:57:03,500 because we were receiving lies about money that's coming in and it went from 1771 02:57:03,500 --> 02:57:08,040 what 6.8 million and then there's 15 million. Never see it in the bank. Don't 1772 02:57:08,040 --> 02:57:11,240 never see it in the bank. And the minute it starts hitting the bank we can add it 1773 02:57:11,240 --> 02:57:16,820 in the budget. But other than that we're just kind of there. I'm just gonna conclude on 1774 02:57:16,820 --> 02:57:24,300 that point. So you don't need to stop with the mayor just spending the mayor 1775 02:57:24,300 --> 02:57:29,900 this the mayor that if we budget for items we spend for those items that budget it for. 1776 02:57:30,760 --> 02:57:36,160 I can prove everything that you all accused me of up here that shall problem is hearsay 1777 02:57:36,160 --> 02:57:39,900 but you won't see me ever talking about y'all because y'all know where I'm everywhere. 1778 02:57:40,520 --> 02:57:49,100 Now as relates to a budget you have to put the 6.8 million dollars in the budget if the money 1779 02:57:49,100 --> 02:57:53,460 comes through how you gonna get the money you ain't even got it in the budget and y'all know 1780 02:57:53,460 --> 02:58:00,300 It's true every outlet meaning media wrote about it because everybody was mad like I said when I leave go anywhere 1781 02:58:00,300 --> 02:58:02,600 I bring back a bed. I got a 1782 02:58:03,900 --> 02:58:09,120 15 million dollars that you have to wait until it come down the pipeline like anything else 1783 02:58:09,120 --> 02:58:16,200 Anybody understand grant money and when you go and ask for the grant money you have to be specific then what you want to use it for 1784 02:58:16,200 --> 02:58:22,220 So here it is my boy once again. It's like I did a $600,000 right that we went got secure 1785 02:58:22,220 --> 02:58:27,340 came back to this body and you guys didn't even vote for it. It's grant money. 1786 02:58:27,480 --> 02:58:31,240 It ain't coming out the general fund. That's the problem with y'all. Y'all want 1787 02:58:31,240 --> 02:58:35,700 to lead and don't know how to lead. Won't you follow my lead and you will 1788 02:58:35,700 --> 02:58:39,780 understand how to do things like how y'all follow my lead by making videos. Like I 1789 02:58:39,780 --> 02:58:43,920 said, I splatter it. But all I'm saying to you is that y'all have to do better. You 1790 02:58:43,920 --> 02:58:47,360 can't come up with this stuff and just say things that's untrue that y'all talk 1791 02:58:47,360 --> 02:58:52,200 about spending you have to spend in order to improve your town. These 1792 02:58:52,200 --> 02:58:58,180 These are things that everybody been complaining about for years, for years and never got 1793 02:58:58,180 --> 02:58:58,480 it. 1794 02:58:58,820 --> 02:59:02,720 And then if you really want to sit and have a dog conversation, some stuff that I can 1795 02:59:02,720 --> 02:59:07,780 really educate you guys on, you will understand where we get the money from because I keep saying 1796 02:59:07,780 --> 02:59:11,200 that we this and we that where we get what accounts that come from. 1797 02:59:11,560 --> 02:59:15,400 We have all kinds of accounts that the funds come out of, but you guys don't want to just 1798 02:59:15,400 --> 02:59:19,860 sit and educate yourself of how we get in trees cut, how we get in the sidewalks and how 1799 02:59:19,860 --> 02:59:24,900 we get in the alley's pay. No one wants to learn and that's the problem up here. You guys are too 1800 02:59:24,900 --> 02:59:31,760 frisket to come and just really learn from your superman here. It's sad. Go ahead attorney. She 1801 02:59:31,760 --> 02:59:37,040 want to say some things hopefully y'all listen to her. I just want to say a couple things as it relates 1802 02:59:37,040 --> 02:59:44,340 to budgeting and appropriating just as general principles. Essentially, if you don't appropriate 1803 02:59:44,340 --> 02:59:50,280 for something and that money comes in, you then cannot spend that money. So if 1804 02:59:50,280 --> 02:59:55,600 this is $6.8 million in grants does come in like the mayor stated it will 1805 02:59:55,600 --> 02:59:59,900 regardless you're not going to be able to spend that money if 1806 03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:29,980 If you don't, if you don't appropriate for it, so that is a very serious concern. And I can understand that, that you guys may or may not believe whether it's going to come in, but my recommendation would be to put that in there, at least have it in the appropriations ordinance. If it does come in, then you can use it. If it doesn't come in, then it doesn't affect the, the budget appropriations ordinance at all, truthfully. And then the other thing I wanted to point out is that, you know, as the mayor had previously stated, we are in the middle of negotiating various kinds. 1807 03:00:29,980 --> 03:00:37,680 contracts and it really does tie our hands at the negotiations table when we're not able 1808 03:00:37,680 --> 03:00:41,000 to make the same offers to other bargaining units that we've settled with. 1809 03:00:42,160 --> 03:00:46,600 And it really, it just makes it very difficult for us to negotiate a fair contract. 1810 03:00:46,880 --> 03:00:48,720 So, I just wanted to point those items out to the board. 1811 03:00:49,140 --> 03:00:49,840 May I make a statement? 1812 03:00:51,020 --> 03:00:51,300 Go ahead. 1813 03:00:53,120 --> 03:00:56,860 So, that was wonderful, but what you just see it, but in October. 1814 03:00:56,860 --> 03:01:03,080 appreciate it yeah October of Keith read all three of the grants that he stated that we got 1815 03:01:03,080 --> 03:01:09,700 those are not in the budget so if we already been approved for those or applying for them or 1816 03:01:09,700 --> 03:01:15,760 appropriating form then why are those but why are those items not allocated in the budget like 1817 03:01:15,760 --> 03:01:22,780 the $6.8 million then there was a statement that was made at the last board meeting that said 1818 03:01:22,780 --> 03:01:25,620 that even with the negotiations for public works, 1819 03:01:26,020 --> 03:01:28,480 that there wasn't panic into May 1, 2024, 1820 03:01:29,200 --> 03:01:31,520 which is the next fiscal year. 1821 03:01:32,180 --> 03:01:36,960 So if you have this money allocated in the 2024, 2025 budget, 1822 03:01:37,340 --> 03:01:41,060 but you don't plan on paying them to 2025, 2026 budget, 1823 03:01:41,280 --> 03:01:43,000 then why is it allocated in there? 1824 03:01:43,320 --> 03:01:48,500 So if you're gonna say that the 6.8 of the appropriation, 1825 03:01:48,680 --> 03:01:51,460 then that means that everything that he read in October 1826 03:01:51,460 --> 03:01:55,320 should be in there, too, since we're talking about transparency and all these grants. 1827 03:01:55,800 --> 03:01:59,260 So that should be in there also, and those are not being reflected in there. 1828 03:02:00,500 --> 03:02:01,520 Are you done? 1829 03:02:02,240 --> 03:02:02,380 Yes. 1830 03:02:02,880 --> 03:02:03,520 Go ahead, Keith. 1831 03:02:05,400 --> 03:02:09,740 Was that a question that you were asking whether or not it was reflected or is that a 1832 03:02:09,740 --> 03:02:10,580 statement that you were making? 1833 03:02:10,580 --> 03:02:11,320 That's a question. 1834 03:02:11,740 --> 03:02:15,020 Because I believe that it's reflected in the $6.8 million. 1835 03:02:15,840 --> 03:02:19,900 It's not individually broke out, but you didn't ask us to individually break it out, nor did 1836 03:02:19,900 --> 03:02:24,960 you ask a question about that. So I think the first thing is, is before you make an assumption on a 1837 03:02:24,960 --> 03:02:28,520 budget, you should probably ask a question. I'm not assuming anything. I'm just going based on 1838 03:02:28,520 --> 03:02:34,500 what you just said. So the second thing is, is that I would like to know what accounting firm helped 1839 03:02:34,500 --> 03:02:40,060 you guys put together this budget. How do you guys plan on making up for the half million dollars that 1840 03:02:40,060 --> 03:02:47,020 we're going to lose for home with disposal? You're not passing a bond later on. And is there any, 1841 03:02:47,020 --> 03:02:48,620 Did you guys think of anything? 1842 03:02:49,400 --> 03:02:50,980 I mean, did you guys have any help with this? 1843 03:02:51,880 --> 03:02:53,540 Is there anyone that helped with this? 1844 03:02:53,560 --> 03:02:54,500 Are you guys just going off? 1845 03:02:54,680 --> 03:02:57,940 You guys basic accounting skills? 1846 03:02:58,060 --> 03:02:58,600 Is that a question? 1847 03:02:59,120 --> 03:02:59,860 That's a question. 1848 03:03:00,260 --> 03:03:01,940 Are you going off what you learned in college? 1849 03:03:02,700 --> 03:03:05,520 Is there something that you learned in day camp? 1850 03:03:06,400 --> 03:03:07,200 Oh, yeah. 1851 03:03:07,600 --> 03:03:08,700 I know, that's tough. 1852 03:03:08,980 --> 03:03:09,780 That's real tough. 1853 03:03:09,840 --> 03:03:12,800 There's no way in the world you could cut this much money out of the question. 1854 03:03:12,980 --> 03:03:14,040 Yesterday it stopped spending. 1855 03:03:14,860 --> 03:03:15,720 I'll tell you what. 1856 03:03:15,720 --> 03:03:22,140 If we didn't spend a dime until next year you still wouldn't be able to cover the resources that you cut out of this budget 1857 03:03:22,140 --> 03:03:27,460 Yes, we will it.

Is there a motion? Motion. Is there a second? 1957 03:10:25,000 --> 03:10:29,420 Second. It's been motion and second. Any discussion? I have a question. 1958 03:10:30,640 --> 03:10:37,320 The attorney read in your veto that it was 20 days and you said to ask me because you reiterate 1959 03:10:37,900 --> 03:10:43,620 what you said because I was confused but it was the veto because the same thing that you're 1960 03:10:43,620 --> 03:10:51,180 put in here now is the same thing that we, that she veto, but you've put it before us 1961 03:10:51,180 --> 03:10:51,440 again. 1962 03:10:52,240 --> 03:10:58,060 Okay, so if I could clarify, yeah, and just to make sure it's my computer's of course not 1963 03:10:58,060 --> 03:11:04,480 coming up right now, but let me just do it from memory. Essentially section 10.6, I'm 1964 03:11:04,480 --> 03:11:12,220 sorry, 10-6-8 of the property tax code requires that there be a 20-day time frame between the 1965 03:11:12,220 --> 03:11:18,620 the passage of a estimate of a levy and then a passage of the actual levy. 1966 03:11:19,200 --> 03:11:24,680 At the December 5 meeting that you guys had held, so let me back up even further. 1967 03:11:24,800 --> 03:11:28,840 December 4th, the item on the agenda was to approve the estimate of the levy. 1968 03:11:29,520 --> 03:11:33,920 Then on December 5th, the item on the agenda again on the special board meeting agenda was 1969 03:11:33,920 --> 03:11:36,080 to also approve the estimate of the levy. 1970 03:11:36,480 --> 03:11:40,420 So it was not voted on at the meeting on the 4th because as I understand it, that meeting 1971 03:11:40,420 --> 03:11:46,640 ended when the trustees left and it was voted on and approved the estimate of levy was approved 1972 03:11:47,180 --> 03:11:54,220 on the meeting on the 5th. What I honestly am not clear on is whether the actual levy was 1973 03:11:54,220 --> 03:11:58,380 approved at the meeting on the 5th or if you guys just approved the estimate because the agenda 1974 03:11:58,380 --> 03:12:04,540 item only says estimate. However, there's been multiple conversations as I understand it where 1975 03:12:04,540 --> 03:12:09,720 certain trustees have told various administration officials that the levy was approved on December 1976 03:12:09,720 --> 03:12:16,080 fifth or was approved on December 5th 2023. So in the event that the levy actually was 1977 03:12:16,080 --> 03:12:23,340 approved, the mayor was vetoing that approval and vetoing the estimate because the estimate 1978 03:12:23,340 --> 03:12:30,400 of 20 days, because the understanding was that the veto, I'm sorry, that the estimate and 1979 03:12:30,400 --> 03:12:36,220 the levy were approved at the same time. Now if the levy was, now I guess the question 1980 03:12:36,220 --> 03:12:42,080 is was the levy approved at the December 5th meeting. So there are two motions to approve 1981 03:12:42,080 --> 03:12:48,120 the estimate and the actual levy. So that is improper under section 10-8 of the code. 1982 03:12:48,420 --> 03:12:56,320 10-8 or 8-16. Or 10-6-8. I don't have it in front of me because my computer is not coming up 1983 03:12:56,320 --> 03:12:59,580 right now. Let me see if I can pull it back up. 1984 03:13:01,850 --> 03:13:03,870 Okay. Does that answer your question so we can move on 1985 03:13:03,870 --> 03:13:08,270 why she gets you the numbers. Yes. All right. All right. 1986 03:13:08,450 --> 03:13:09,650 I have a question. Go ahead. 1987 03:13:10,670 --> 03:13:15,750 Levy that we're looking at is a represents an increase 1988 03:13:15,750 --> 03:13:20,190 of an operating levy of about $500,000. Am I saying that correctly? 1989 03:13:22,580 --> 03:13:23,500 Who is the question for? 1990 03:13:23,760 --> 03:13:26,920 The question. Anybody that can ask whether the finance director 1991 03:13:26,920 --> 03:13:30,880 is? She can ask the finance director and key frame me. You can ask her this question. 1992 03:13:30,880 --> 03:13:34,380 So, can you repeat it, that's it? 1993 03:13:35,780 --> 03:13:40,920 Does this vote represent a, that's the 1994 03:13:40,920 --> 03:13:43,420 approximating $500,000 increase to the 1995 03:13:43,420 --> 03:13:44,800 operating levy in section one? 1996 03:13:45,720 --> 03:13:48,760 From which, from last year's vote, sir. 1997 03:13:51,740 --> 03:13:54,140 I'll be a little bit more I'm looking at. 1998 03:13:54,540 --> 03:13:55,260 I'll share with you. 1999 03:13:56,240 --> 03:14:00,760 Last year, the levy had $11,134,799. 2000 03:14:03,300 --> 03:14:08,280 this year of the requested 11,682,000 dollars. 2001 03:14:09,900 --> 03:14:10,780 That is correct. 2002 03:14:13,420 --> 03:14:14,060 That's correct. 2003 03:14:15,480 --> 03:14:18,600 Okay, so then essentially we're asking that we raise taxes. 2004 03:14:18,620 --> 03:14:19,220 Is that correct? 2005 03:14:22,950 --> 03:14:23,650 Are you asking me? 2006 03:14:23,930 --> 03:14:24,170 Yes, sir. 2007 03:14:24,450 --> 03:14:24,570 Yes. 2008 03:14:25,250 --> 03:14:33,570 Okay, with that, I have a superseding motion that I would like to add to two requests. 2009 03:14:33,570 --> 03:14:43,570 My request is that we approve the ordinance at the level that was issued last year, the $11,134,799. 2010 03:14:44,110 --> 03:14:45,030 That was my motion. 2011 03:14:45,410 --> 03:14:47,670 Have you considered cost of limits? 2012 03:14:48,150 --> 03:14:49,030 Have you considered inflation? 2013 03:14:49,690 --> 03:14:51,130 Have you considered collective bargaining? 2014 03:14:51,770 --> 03:14:54,990 Have you considered all of the things that people normally do when they pass tax levels? 2015 03:14:56,030 --> 03:14:58,810 Yes, sir, and I'll tell you where my confusion comes at. 2016 03:14:58,810 --> 03:14:59,250 Okay 2017 03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:07,040 Um, unclear information being given to the board. My belief that there's overspending on things 2018 03:15:07,040 --> 03:15:11,680 that are cost and tax payers' money. That's why I think we need to work with them 2019 03:15:11,680 --> 03:15:17,300 what we have before asking the residents to pay more money out of their pocket for items 2020 03:15:17,300 --> 03:15:24,200 that they didn't ask for. So yes, I consider that and I believe at this time is not the 2021 03:15:24,200 --> 03:15:32,040 proper time to request a tax increase. And additionally, not getting the information 2022 03:15:32,040 --> 03:15:36,720 needed leaves me saying we need to until we can learn to operate with what we've had 2023 03:15:36,720 --> 03:15:41,960 and what we do.

It's the mayor. It's the mayor. It's not the mayor. It's the board of trustees. 2089 03:19:31,330 --> 03:19:36,310 these. The board of trustees are the ones that vote on the tax levy. How dare you get 2090 03:19:36,310 --> 03:19:41,230 up here and say that I want to raise taxes because that's not true. I don't even have 2091 03:19:41,230 --> 03:19:47,210 a vote when it comes to raising your property taxes. Every single year you guys raised the 2092 03:19:47,210 --> 03:19:51,750 property taxes here in the village of Don, trustee House, Mr. Oni, voteee one time. That's 2093 03:19:51,750 --> 03:19:56,370 a lie. These are the lives that they tell like I keep telling you are every single time. 2094 03:19:56,370 --> 03:20:02,430 They lie about everything and matter of fact, let me approve it. Let me show you.

You may trust the 2100 03:20:20,650 --> 03:20:25,090 Belcher because you want popularity is not gonna work stop stop lying 2101 03:20:25,090 --> 03:20:30,550 I never raised anything keep keep my name on your mouth because Mayor Hingier have not raised anything 2102 03:20:30,550 --> 03:20:33,190 But let me give you some things 4.99% 2103 03:20:33,710 --> 03:20:39,550 Phoenix raised there this for the year of 2023 the 2024 for those that don't understand how tax ladies go 2104 03:20:39,550 --> 03:20:46,350 They can do it without going out to the public by 4.99% finishes did it soft Holland just did it 2105 03:20:46,350 --> 03:20:52,610 Lansing did it for 2.99 percent. This more did it for 4.99 percent. Cayman City did it for 4.99 percent. 2106 03:20:52,870 --> 03:20:57,230 Thornton did it for 4.99 percent. Harvey did it for 5 percent. That's this year, too bad. 2107 03:20:57,910 --> 03:21:05,850 So this is what I'm saying you'd why people don't pay attention. Everybody raises it. 4.99 percent, no matter what. 2108 03:21:06,270 --> 03:21:11,550 Don't let them sit here because they need something to campaign on. Oh, guys, it wasn't us. We didn't do it. All right. 2109 03:21:11,550 --> 03:21:12,490 washers, play the tape. 2110 03:21:16,520 --> 03:21:20,440 You understand what it used to be, what it turned out to be, 2111 03:21:20,800 --> 03:21:24,800 you know, where we are today. So today on Tech Gaming Relatives, once in 2112 03:21:24,800 --> 03:21:30,580 you, all the nonsense that you see a couple people trying to keep up chaos in our village. 2113 03:21:31,200 --> 03:21:37,660 First, I'll start with what tax level is. Every year, we must level taxes for our village. 2114 03:21:38,120 --> 03:21:42,640 When we level taxes, we get money to run our day-to-day operation this time. 2115 03:21:42,640 --> 03:21:45,480 These, I'm fired, are worked. 2116 03:21:45,960 --> 03:21:49,160 All of those departments are levied by our taxes. 2117 03:21:49,760 --> 03:21:52,440 So if we do not levied tax, we will not receive 2118 03:21:52,440 --> 03:21:53,900 the money to do the day-to-day 2119 03:21:53,900 --> 03:21:55,480 on the thresholds of public service. 2120 03:21:56,220 --> 03:21:59,640 So it made a video and sent it to a lot of residents 2121 03:21:59,640 --> 03:22:03,100 thinking they're trying to increase your property taxes. 2122 03:22:03,660 --> 03:22:06,520 In no way, shape, form, have I ever advocated 2123 03:22:06,520 --> 03:22:08,000 to increase property taxes? 2124 03:22:08,300 --> 03:22:10,100 As you know, as a trustee myself, 2125 03:22:10,100 --> 03:22:16,020 I've always tried to decrease taxes, or if it's warranted, yes, you have to let me 2126 03:22:16,020 --> 03:22:20,640 afford taxes. But in this case, if you don't know, now you will know today 2127 03:22:20,640 --> 03:22:27,360 every community passes a tax limit of 4.9% no matter what the public says, 2128 03:22:27,740 --> 03:22:32,380 because that's the levy they can pass. It is under 5%, you can pass it without 2129 03:22:32,380 --> 03:22:37,440 going out to the public. But it goes well 5%, you must go to the public and let 2130 03:22:37,440 --> 03:22:41,720 that you guys know that. So if you go, you go for it, anything I stand up here, you go for 2131 03:22:41,720 --> 03:22:46,640 you eat third time, some holiday kind of city, rip it down, man. Any time you'll see that 2132 03:22:46,640 --> 03:22:49,760 they do the same thing. So that's one of the shows that I'm going to give you the facts. 2133 03:22:50,060 --> 03:22:55,240 So I'm going to take you now, memory lane, by going to 27th and keep that safe. 2134 03:22:56,260 --> 03:23:00,700 Remember, trust me, I said he never raised your taxes. Let's pay attention to this. 2135 03:23:06,230 --> 03:23:08,510 Life. It's what the trustees don't want you to know about. 2136 03:23:13,490 --> 03:23:20,370 If you look at really on that page right here, they increase your property tax card 14% 2137 03:23:20,370 --> 03:23:27,510 This is what you don't know resident, 14% so if you really go up a little further and you'll see 2138 03:23:27,510 --> 03:23:27,930 vote it. 2139 03:23:28,370 --> 03:23:29,970 That's the initial problem test. 2140 03:23:30,530 --> 03:23:32,170 On here, you'll see, perhaps, 2141 03:23:32,170 --> 03:23:33,810 vote it, take initial problem test. 2142 03:23:34,210 --> 03:23:37,190 You'll see, that's trustee still vote it, 2143 03:23:37,230 --> 03:23:38,250 take initial problem test. 2144 03:23:38,610 --> 03:23:40,050 But I wanted to give you the orders 2145 03:23:40,050 --> 03:23:40,830 and you can understand. 2146 03:23:41,310 --> 03:23:41,650 Vote it. 2147 03:23:41,650 --> 03:23:41,770 Vote it. 2148 03:23:42,050 --> 03:23:44,150 So when you're getting information, 2149 03:23:44,690 --> 03:23:46,090 you will have facts to go back. 2150 03:23:46,750 --> 03:23:47,730 They were going to vote it. 2151 03:23:48,210 --> 03:23:48,610 2018. 2152 03:23:49,810 --> 03:23:50,610 They were going to vote it right. 2153 03:23:50,610 --> 03:23:51,450 You were going to vote it. 2154 03:23:51,670 --> 03:23:55,130 Now, if you look, if you look, 2155 03:23:55,130 --> 03:23:59,870 taxes of trustees raise your taxes by 14 percent a year. Another 2156 03:23:59,870 --> 03:24:05,090 40 that was again trustee house and trustee stumps. Of course, the rest of the 2157 03:24:05,090 --> 03:24:08,990 guys will be your name again. But your only right here says one, all unbuttoned. 2158 03:24:08,990 --> 03:24:12,550 It's a wrap because see how you're gonna spawn your board now that's trying to do 2159 03:24:12,550 --> 03:24:17,970 spin cypher continue to opt. So the gears that are raising your taxes to 18. Now, 2160 03:24:18,110 --> 03:24:25,010 let's move on. 2019. 2019. Try to do the same thing. But this time, this is when 2161 03:24:25,010 --> 03:24:27,450 and everybody voted for it. 2162 03:24:27,610 --> 03:24:31,030 So this is $7.20, $20.10. 2163 03:24:31,370 --> 03:24:34,210 Trust me, Brown, not Brown, stand Brown. 2164 03:24:34,390 --> 03:24:35,930 Trust me, Tammy Brown voted for this. 2165 03:24:36,750 --> 03:24:40,490 Trust me, Holmes, trust me, House, trust me, Steve's. 2166 03:24:41,030 --> 03:24:42,250 Everybody voted for this. 2167 03:24:43,110 --> 03:24:45,950 But it stayed the same on 2168 03:24:48,860 --> 03:24:49,960 May, 2020. 2169 03:24:50,720 --> 03:24:51,160 Same difference. 2170 03:24:51,920 --> 03:24:53,140 It stayed the exact same. 2171 03:24:53,900 --> 03:24:54,420 0%. 2172 03:25:08,120 --> 03:25:16,040 them? It was only $20 million and I'm going to 2173 03:25:16,040 --> 03:25:16,680 2021 2174 03:25:17,760 --> 03:25:29,740 um tax levy for 10 billion dollars. Yep. I'm here to say again 0% 0% on a start but when you read it no people that vote for it everybody voted for yeah 2175 03:25:29,740 --> 03:25:36,520 and that's what I wrote up there for racial taxes which is trusty trusty trusty no look trusty 2176 03:26:06,740 --> 03:26:13,000 every year, every year. People that are going for trusty house, trusty normal, trusty 2177 03:26:13,440 --> 03:26:19,020 ASDs. But guess what? Trusty, Tammy Brown said, no, on this one time, trusty, last 2178 03:26:19,020 --> 03:26:24,240 time. This is what I was going to make her trusty. Well, she's going to trust it.

Either yes or you 2180 03:26:26,980 --> 03:26:31,060 know why you're going to trust it. She should've just said, yeah, you know, you like to do it 2181 03:26:31,060 --> 03:26:36,320 the other time. I want to point that out. This is all the taxes of today, 2022. Now that 2182 03:26:36,320 --> 03:26:41,660 the new tax thing that you guys being presenting is a side concept.
