00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:11,040
All right. Where are Okay, before we get
started, I just want to read over our

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:15,120

we're at. Okay, this is the village of

3
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:20,880

expected behavior, procedures, and

32
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:40,800
Okay. Now we go into roll call.
Mrs. Swonger here. Mrs. Cintic present.

33
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,080
Mrs. Ska,
>> yes.

34
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,599
» Mrs. Nash
>> here.

35
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,959
» And Mrs. Becker
>> here.

36
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:50,356
» Okay. Stand for the pledge of
allegiance. [cough]

37
00:02:52,879 --> 00:03:02,080
» I pledge algiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the

38
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:08,519
republic for it stands. One nation under
God, indivisible, with liberty and

39
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:08,519
justice for all.

40
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:20,720
We need to accept the agenda as
presented.

41
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:26,159
» Uh I have a concern on legislation.
>> Um I it was posted on Facebook some

42
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:33,360
discussion on this. Um but we don't have
a motion to adopt the water increase.

43
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:36,799
And I went back and I looked at old um
adoptions that we did and we did do an

44
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:42,319
adoption for any of the other
legislation that we did. I reviewed the

45
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:47,840
the um recordings and we did not do an
adoption on that water increase.

46
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:52,720
So I think we need to add that to our
agenda as an item.

47
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:55,760
» We didn't pass that legislation.
>> We read the third. We did not do an

48
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:57,120
adoption. We did not make a motion to
adopt.

49
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,200
» There was no vote.
>> Yes, we did.

50
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,799
» We read the third. We didn't make a
motion to adopt. We voted on the third

51
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:05,799
reading. We didn't make a motion to
adopt.

52
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,879
» If you voted, you adopted it.
>> Well, my concern is I don't want to take

53
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:19,519
right of referendum away from our
residents. And our residents saw it as a

54
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,759
third reading, not as a motion to adopt.
And they can't do referendum on a third

55
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:28,880
reading. They have to have the motion
before they can do that. So, I don't I

56
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:34,240
think we're I don't think we should be
taking their rights away. And I don't

57
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:38,320
know that we've gave them that right.
>> Mr. President, I don't know that you

58
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:44,000
have taken their rights away. If you
pass the legislation and you adopted it,

59
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:49,199
but [clears throat] if you want to
specifically use the word adopt and vote

60
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,199
on it again, it's not going to hurt
anything.

61
00:04:52,800 --> 00:05:01,199
So, we want to do the vote.
>> You can There's been a motion to add the

62
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:10,120
water rate increase and you're going to
need the the ordinance number

63
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,120
to add it to the agenda for adoption.

64
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:20,560
» What is a motion to pass and a motion to
>> Exactly. But if we've done it before

65
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:26,080
another
then it's been in the minutes and in our

66
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:30,960
recording then that then we didn't do it
this time is what I think the the

67
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:36,880
question is.
It wasn't specifically said and done for

68
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,080
this water
but it has been in the past. Yeah.

69
00:05:39,948 --> 00:05:43,960
» [clears throat]
>> in the minutes as well,

70
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:55,440
» Mr. Mayor.
>> Well, I feel that it was voted on to you

71
00:05:51,280 --> 00:06:00,320
guys, so it was passed.
>> Well, that is not the way

72
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:03,919
that
>> residents were reading it because

73
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,319
they're reading it was a motion to um
pass the third reading, but not a motion

74
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,400
to adopt. And if somebody wanted to So
>> you're saying we didn't say the word of

75
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:15,039
God.
>> Mhm. And that makes a difference for the

76
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:19,360
right to referendum.
>> That leaves the right of referendum for

77
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:24,240
the residents.
And if we did not use the word adopt and

78
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:29,639
the residents don't see that it was
adopted, then they have lost their right

79
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:29,639
to referendum.

80
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:39,199
I I I think we can't change from one
time to another and the residents have a

81
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,199
clear understanding of what their rights
are.

82
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,840
So I

83
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:56,720
I think adopt and and pass are the same
thing. I don't think you vote on a third

84
00:06:52,560 --> 00:07:01,199
reading, but again, it it's already been
passed. It's not going to hurt anything

85
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:04,960
to do a motion and say adopt.
>> The only thing is we've already sent out

86
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,199
the letter saying that the increase
starts now,

87
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:12,160
» right? I mean,
>> so it's already taken effect.

88
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:15,599
» Well, at the on the first
>> had I had I seen that letter before it

89
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:20,080
was sent, I probably would have brought
this up at that time, but I didn't know

90
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:24,160
it was being sent.
So, unfortunately, I didn't know till I

91
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:27,280
got it in the mail.
that you didn't think we adopted it. Why

92
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:32,080
didn't you say something then?
>> I looked into it later.

93
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,479
» After it was brought up and I looked
into it then

94
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,560
he
always

95
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,800
» that's the way we always do things. It
was done.

96
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:53,000
» I think we should just add it as a
motion to adopt. I don't want to take

97
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,000
that right.

98
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,919
That's important.

99
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,879
» But I told you I don't think you have
but

100
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:10,400
» right because they voted
>> right and I but I don't think it's going

101
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:14,080
to matter if you do a motion to adopt
today because it would still take

102
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:21,240
effect.
You could still in that motion say that

103
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,240
the rates take effect September 1st.

104
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:26,319
» Well, let's do that. need the um
ordinance

105
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:31,400
» the ordinance number
>> I have it number 26-0501

106
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,719
» or zero
501

107
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,839
» again 26
>> yes ordinance 26-0501

108
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:50,959
ordinance amending ordinance 23-12
03 relating to commercial and

109
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:58,800
residential water rates for premises
located within the village of Rock

110
00:08:52,880 --> 00:09:02,720
Creek. And this is for $6, $1, and $5
increases.

111
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:08,399
» I hate the [clears throat] Can we turn
the air on for Miss Britter? Cuz she's

112
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,279
like super hot, but wants to sit in here
for a minute, but it is hot in here.

113
00:09:10,861 --> 00:09:15,680
[laughter]
>> Everybody's

114
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,560
» windows open. Maybe we can get some
airflow.

115
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:23,600
» Does it work?
>> Get a light switch in the middle by you.

116
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:31,360
There you go.
[clears throat]

117
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:34,360
» Okay. So,
265.

118
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,640
Why wouldn't the motion to adopt have a
30-day window

119
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:56,640
» for the rights of referendum? I mean, if
we adopt it now, I guess I guess my

120
00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:01,839
question would be if we adopt it now and
say it's effective September 1st,

121
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,680
is there still the right to referendum
up until

122
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:07,920
» my legal opinion, you've already
adopted. Whether you use the word adopt

123
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:12,240
or not, you've already adopted it
because the mayor's already signed it

124
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:19,839
and it's already passed. it's already
been signed as passed. But if

125
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:24,959
it it makes [clears throat] the council
wants

126
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:31,120
a motion to adopt and for whatever
reason

127
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:35,320
don't want to do that, that's fine. But
it's already been adopted.

128
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,962
Says to adopt is to pass.
>> [clears throat]

129
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,040
» I think we just leave it the way it is
and I ask why.

130
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,920
» I think we need to give the residents
right of referendum. I don't think we

131
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,240
should leave it as is. I think we need
to make the motion.

132
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,959
» I think they're right a referendum
started in the past.

133
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,640
» Having the third reading didn't have the
didn't have the adoption. We have

134
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:04,000
previously had the adoptions. So, the
residents now have to know the

135
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,519
difference between when it's a third
reading and when it's an adoption. And

136
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,360
our minutes were different. Our minutes
previously said, sorry, our minutes

137
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:15,440
previously said we adopted the ordinance
and we had a motion to adopt. In this

138
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:19,200
case, we did not. So that's the
confusing part for residents.

139
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:23,440
» Didn't we have a motion to pass?
>> We passed the third reading.

140
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:27,519
» Yes, we passed. Well, that's passion.
Correct. But that same third reading we

141
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,000
passed,
>> right?

142
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:36,440
» There's not a fourth reading where you
adopt it. No.

143
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,440
So

144
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:43,360
» I saw in the minutes before that it was
stated that way.

145
00:11:42,823 --> 00:11:48,160
[clears throat]
>> Okay. So she's telling us that when you

146
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,600
vote that it's adopted.
>> I don't I don't agree with that. I do

147
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,600
not believe that we made the motion to
adopt. It is the word I'm having trouble

148
00:11:53,680 --> 00:12:00,320
with because I think it is not legally
correct in the eyes of the board of

149
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,839
elections if you were going to file a
right of referendum. And I need to make

150
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:08,560
sure that the residents have their right
of referendum

151
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,320
as a city council person. I think that's
my duty.

152
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:19,880
» As it is passing adoption, it would
still take effect September 1st because

153
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,880
it was passed earlier and then

154
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:27,920
we can sort it out with the board of
elections whether adopt has to be in the

155
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:30,920
motion. All right. Can we adoption for

been able to read these? We just sat

179
00:14:15,199 --> 00:14:21,120

I have them in front of me, but I

180
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,880
haven't had an opportunity to compare
them to my notes, so I can't speak to

text me or whatever and ask if they're
done.

207
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:31,519
» Well, yeah, I emailed you. You said they
weren't ready.

208
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:38,800
» Sometimes they're not, but I mean they
are. You can come in. I did try. I had

209
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:44,120
problems emailing Cecilia this week.
That's not a normal occurrence, but

210
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:50,160
if it's not working, I can't help.
>> So, we voted,

» I need to have my question answered
before I can go.

213
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:03,680
» Is there if we don't accept these
minutes, does it affect anything as far

214
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,559
as this meeting? Honestly, off the top
of my head, I can't give you an answer

215
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:10,326
because I've never had this happen
before.

216
00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:12,346
» Okay. All right.
[laughter]

217

Somebody have a vote to move these to
the next council.

» I can't hear you.
>> I'm sorry,

226
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:09,679
» Mr. President. My understanding was that
vote is now 22. If it's a tie, the mayor

227
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:14,080
breaks the make breaks the tie.
>> Unacceptable.

228
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:18,559
» You're [laughter] accepting them. You're
accepting minutes that we haven't had an

229
00:18:15,679 --> 00:18:22,200
opportunity to review. [clears throat]
>> I'm accepting them.

230
00:18:23,679 --> 00:18:28,679
» All right. Motion to accept payments as
presented.

231
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:36,919
I'll make a motion to accept the
payments as presented. Can we have

232
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,919
discussion on some of these?

233
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,520
Um,

00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:09,840

» you have an extra copy?
>> Okay.

239
00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:15,559
» I don't have a copy of it.

240
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:22,000
» Sam needs one too, I think.

Any other questions?

246

» No.

247
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:09,600
» I make a motion to accept
at that point. Yes.

248
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:13,840
» I'll second.
>> Actually, Mrs. Beck had already made a

249
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:16,160
motion. So, you're seconding.
>> Sure.

256
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:43,320
» Um, is there any way you can just give a
little synopsis on it?

257
00:20:51,064 --> 00:20:55,704
» [clears throat]
>> Can you speak up? We can't hear you.

258
00:20:53,684 --> 00:20:55,704
[laughter]

259
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:02,280
» All right. Well, I need a motion to
adopt 26-05-01.

260
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:08,919
It's the water increase.
>> That was the water increase. Yes. I make

261
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,919
a motion

262
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:15,240

263
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:24,440
Are we Is that allowed to happen?
>> I'll second it.

264
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,760
» Mrs.

» Yes.
>> Mrs. Yes.

267
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:36,039
» And Mrs. Cint,
>> I'll abstain. Thank you.

268
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,520
» Okay. A motion to pass resolution
2026-08-01R.

269
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:53,840
» Okay. I'm sorry. This Go ahead.
>> It's for the budget commission.

270
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:58,120
» This is one I was asking what if you
could give a summary of what this

271
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,880
» did you guys you guys did get an email
about this?

272
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:13,679
» I did get one.
>> Okay. Um, [laughter] every July we have

273
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:19,919
to um, basically do an estimate of our
resources um, for the rest of this year.

274
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:23,520
We give them from last year estimate
what we're going to use for the rest of

275
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:28,080
this year and for next year. And all of
that goes to the budget commission,

276
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:32,880
which is the county auditor, the county
treasurer, and the prosecutor. They

277
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:36,720
review everything and send us back our
estimated resources for next year. This

278
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:41,919
is a resolution accepting those numbers
and I sent you guys all of that

279
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:46,000
and that is what this is.
>> Where is that budget? It was supposed to

280
00:22:43,679 --> 00:22:51,120
be on here. I thought that Cecilia's
email said that it should be attached.

281
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:55,919
» I sent it to you guys. Said she got it.
So, I'm assuming all of you guys got it.

282
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,960
» Yeah, I did get it. [laughter]
>> Yeah, I got it.

283
00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:04,799
» You got it.
>> Yeah, I got it.

284
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:08,320
No, that's not it. That's not it. And
it's just certifying the income that we

285
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:13,520
will get next year from the county
auditor. That's all it is.

286
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:18,480
It's [clears throat] not an actual
budget.

287
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:22,320
It's not what we're paying or anything
like that. I mean, what we're spending

288
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,520
it is just certifying the numbers from
the budget commission. That is it. And I

289
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,840
» That's tax income,
>> right? It's the Mr. President, if I

290
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:36,240
might, it's technically it's also called
the tax budget and it's just an

291
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,520
estimated revenue from taxes and levies
and whatnot.

292
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:41,360
» Yes.
>> And the budget commission looks at it

293
00:23:39,679 --> 00:23:46,559
and if they think you have too much in
the surplus or that your levy is too

294
00:23:44,159 --> 00:23:48,720
high, they can reduce your levy.
>> Right.

295
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,600
So,
>> right. So, we're good on that.

296
00:23:51,191 --> 00:23:56,320
[laughter]
>> The state sets the tax rate, so that's

297
00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:00,480
what it's for. But and her I was just
asking where it was cuz it wasn't on

298
00:23:57,919 --> 00:24:04,880
here and I thought you guys had received
that. So instead of printing out another

299
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,640
papers I just thought you guys already
had it.

300
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:15,120
» So can we get a motion?
>> Yes. I motion.

301
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:21,559
» I'll second it.
>> This is to adapt

302
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:21,559
» this budget. Yes.

303
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,799
» This is Yes. Mrs. Beckway.
>> Yes.

304
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,159
» Mrs. Nash,
>> yes.

305
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:28,480
» Mrs. Swonger,
>> yes.

306
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,559
» And Mrs.
Cint,

00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:37,279
» yes.
>> Okay. A motion to add myself as a signer

308

>> A motion.

309
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:44,760
» I'll make a motion to add you as a
signer and remove Mr. Graves.

310
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,760
» I'll second.

311
00:24:46,212 --> 00:24:48,232

313
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:58,440
» On the last page.
>> He moved up. [laughter]

314
00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:58,440
» He moved it up.

315
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,480
» Wendy.

316
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:13,679
» Mrs. Yes.
>> Mrs. Cint.

317
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:16,320
» Yes.
>> Mrs. Yes. Mrs. Snatch.

318
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,520
» Yes.
>> And Mrs. Becker.

319
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,520
» Yes.

320
00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:30,000
Okay. A report from administrator.
>> We put up a new speed limit sign onto

321
00:25:27,919 --> 00:25:34,080
slow. Can you speak up, please?
>> I'm [clears throat] trying. We put a new

322
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:40,520
speed limit sign on slow and we also
added two curve signs, one on each side

323
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,520
ontolo.

324
00:25:41,887 --> 00:25:50,720
[laughter]
I had our electrician stop at the lot

325
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:54,960
» um because we had a a concern from Mike
that it was not wired right. He said

326
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:59,279
everything was fine. Also at his place
on slow he said everything was fine as

327
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:05,360
it was. I have one quote and I'm getting
another one to cut the uh pear trees

328
00:26:02,159 --> 00:26:08,799
down on Liberty and High Street because
if we were to trim them to where we need

329
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:12,880
to below the wires it would kill the
trees anyway. So might as well just have

330
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:21,120
them cut down. I'm getting quotes on
that. I've been going around um tagging

331
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:26,960
I've been going around tagging the the
grinder electrical boxes with our tamper

332
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:33,360
zip ties and checking the bolts. I'm
like halfway done. So far, none of the

333
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:42,000
boxes have been open, so that's good.
And I think we should declare our black

334
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:46,799
GMC 2500 truck to surplus since we don't
really use it all that much. We have

335
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:50,600
four trucks, three fulltime employees,
>> drivers. So

336
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,233
report
[clears throat]

337
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:05,440
» we can't hear back there. I mean, I I
understand you guys talking amongst

338
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,200
yourselves, but I'm sure they can't hear
either.

339
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:13,240
» Okay, we'll talk louder.
>> Thank you. That would be great.

340
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:22,360
» Truck.

341
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:31,279
» Mr. President, the question was, can we
have a motion to declare the truck

342
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:35,200
surplus? And my response was, "No, it
has to be an ordinance."

343
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:38,159
» Okay.
>> All right. We're moving on to committee

344
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:43,760
reports.
>> I had a couple of questions for uh the

345
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:46,480
administrator. I saw over the weekend
there was some roof uh replacement at

346
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,799
the park.
>> Yes.

347
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:55,760
» Um how did we how did that come about?
How did we decide on who was doing it?

348
00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:58,960
This is the first I've heard of it. may
have been something that was on the

349
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:02,480
books previous, but
>> yeah, we're talking about it for a while

350
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:08,640
and
was the cheapest I think.

351
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:13,679
» Do we have those bids? Who all bid on
that and what the bids were?

352
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:19,120
» We didn't bid it. Sam actually just got
estimates on it.

353
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:22,120
» We didn't send it out for bid. Is that
>> okay?

354
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:29,520
Um, is there a reason on the surplus
stuff we sell you haven't used that

355
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:35,000
might say it backwards? It's either gov
deals or deals gov whichever that site

356
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000
is.

357
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:42,159
» I have talked to all the townships and
they've been using it and they seem to

358
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:46,880
have real good success with it and it
takes it out of the Facebook realm and

359
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:50,640
the nobody has to say but I bid and I
didn't. You know, I mean it kind of just

360
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:55,039
throws it out there. anybody can look at
it and anybody can purchase it. Um

361
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:59,760
Morgan Township Dave Lar Roa he uses it
all the time. So he'd be a good contact

362
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:03,120
if you want to try that. I think it'd be
>> a nice

363
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:07,360
» I don't think so. I don't think so. And
I some of the other townships I've heard

364
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:13,600
using it too and it just seems like that
way it removes a lot of questions and

365
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:19,279
statements and you know
>> as for the stuff we put up today that

366
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:23,840
has been
this the stuff we just listed today that

367
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:27,440
has been in circles for a long time.
>> Yeah. And we put it out and no one

368
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:32,720
wanted it. So
>> yeah trying that. Yeah. It goes out to a

369
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:36,919
lot more than just
>> what we've done.

370
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,159
» Yeah, I think Chloe should check that
out.

371
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,880
» Anything else?
>> What about the the zip ties? I know that

372
00:29:44,399 --> 00:29:52,640
was mentioned during the workshop that
she was buying those. What do we do we

373
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,600
have a policy or how this procedure how
this is going to happen? I know she

374
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,760
mentioned putting
>> She's already doing them

375
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,039
» right the box,
>> right? She said she did have

376
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:04,960
» Wendy brought that to our attention with
the Boston community.

377
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,600
» Oh, I I supported the fact that they
>> we're addressing it.

378
00:30:06,159 --> 00:30:11,279
» What I supported is the fact that
without preventative maintenance, we

379
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:15,360
have seen that there are cases where
things are not hooked up properly.

380
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:18,159
Probably I think Blo you said over time
it happens,

381
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:22,399
» but without preventative maintenance
that could happen. And now we're going

382
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:27,440
to lock the boxes.
>> And what I understood from the the video

383
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:32,000
was tamper. Like you want to find out
who's getting into the boxes or

384
00:30:30,159 --> 00:30:36,480
» Well, yeah. It's it's for so to make
sure that no one can get into them and

385
00:30:33,679 --> 00:30:38,640
then if someone does, we know
>> as they are now.

386
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:43,000
» Zip lock.
>> Yeah.

387
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,000
» And then what?

388
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,919
» Replace them.
>> Well, that's why I asked if there was a

389
00:30:46,159 --> 00:30:51,600
policy. I know Brenda, you said that
they're doing them, but [laughter]

390
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:55,840
what's the policy?
>> You see them, they're not on, you

391
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:59,440
replace them. I guess they go around and
check them, right?

392
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,279
» If we catch somebody tampering, we need
to make a police report.

393
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:07,279
» Yeah. Chances
if you have

394
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:10,880
» We have done that.
>> Is there a policy for that or do we need

395
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,799
a policy [clears throat] to do that or
is that just under her under the

396
00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:21,120
administrator's discretion?
>> Who owns those? I guess

397
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:24,679
» who owns those?
>> It's village property.

398
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:34,559
So, I don't know why we needed us to
report somebody breaking in basically,

399
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:40,399
» but they're on residents property.
Residents supply the electric to them

400
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:49,360
because we the village doesn't supply
the electric. The homeowner has to buy

401
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:54,320
the grinders. So now we're putting a a
a device on there to know if they're

402
00:31:51,440 --> 00:32:01,279
tampering with them, but we don't do as
village employees don't

403
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:05,360
do any preventative maintenance.
I don't So I guess I'm just not

404
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:08,559
understanding how this works.
>> We don't need to do preventive

405
00:32:07,687 --> 00:32:13,120
[clears throat]
way. like if it's if the zip tie was cut

406
00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:17,279
or if we know there's a problem. It
would be easier to tell if it was

407
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:19,840
homeowner that did that or if we did
that.

408
00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:25,440
» Be a problem if it wasn't.
>> I remember there was a couple months ago

409
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:30,799
that you you um said that you would do a
class for us to show us how the grinder

410
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:33,919
system works.
>> Oh, we'll do that.

411
00:32:32,159 --> 00:32:37,120
» Can we get that on the books? Cuz I
guess I just don't understand the the

412
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:41,039
process that we're doing here.
>> Some dry stuff.

413
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:46,159
in that sub panel box. It's just
electrical components to operate that

414
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:50,159
system. No homeowner should be in that
box.

415
00:32:48,159 --> 00:32:53,200
That's why she's putting the tags on
there. There's absolutely nothing in

416
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:58,480
there they should be.
>> So, Chloe, if a homeowner has a light

417
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:03,120
not come on and they discover sewage in
their home or wherever it backs up to

418
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:06,880
and it was not hooked up properly,
because like we've discussed before, it

419
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:14,519
comes undone. That means that the
village takes the responsibility for

420
00:33:10,159 --> 00:33:14,519
cleaning that up for the homeowner.

421
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:24,720
» On what?
>> This is not a situation I've ran into

422
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:28,399
yet.
>> I ran into it. [laughter]

423
00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:34,159
» Mr. Mayor, it would depend on the facts
of the situation. If there was grinder

424
00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:37,919
abuse, they caused a backup then
>> that would be one thing. If there was a

425
00:33:36,159 --> 00:33:42,559
failure of the grinder, that would be
another thing. But when we were having

426
00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:46,799
all these discussions, there were people
saying number one, the electrical boxes

427
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,799
were unsafe because people could get
into them or they weren't secured. So

428
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,360
now the village is trying to secure
them.

429
00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:57,440
» Another time there were concerns because
the lids weren't on the grinder so

430
00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:00,480
people could argue get into them. So now
they're trying to secure the grinder

431
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:07,279
lids.
>> Yeah. My question was specific to if

432
00:34:04,399 --> 00:34:12,079
there's a backup, Chloe has to come out
or Aaron, whoever, and they open the box

433
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:16,800
and they discover that the cord or the
wire has come unhooked. Who takes

434
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:20,800
responsibility for that now
>> because we're saying the homeowner can't

435
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:24,960
get into it. We don't want them to.
>> As legal counselor for the village, I'm

436
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:30,000
saying that you're not I would advise
you not to make a blanket statement to

437
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:34,639
who would be responsible that it would
have to be decided on the facts of each

438
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:38,800
situation.
>> Good idea.

439
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:43,599
» So there's your answer. [laughter]
>> All right.

440
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:49,359
» Are we done?
>> All right. Finance.

441
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:52,359
Um, our [clears throat] revenue was
68,45818

442
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:58,040
and [clears throat] our expenditures was
77,63858.

443
00:35:02,574 --> 00:35:08,800
[laughter]
>> We spent more than we had.

444
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:12,680
» We finally got now that we realized
Chloe doesn't [laughter] live in

445
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,680
Australia.

446
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:21,624
Is there a motion to accept?
[laughter]

447
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,839
» I'll make a motion to accept.

448
00:35:28,774 --> 00:35:32,560
[laughter]
>> Mrs. Cic,

449
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,079
» yes. [clears throat]
>> Mrs. Wall,

450
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,440
» yes.
>> Mrs.

451
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,040
» Yes.
>> Mrs. Nash.

452
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,960
» Yes.
>> And Mrs.

453
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:44,480
» Yes.
>> Water. I'm just going to speak real

454
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:48,960
quick. I think everybody in the village
knows we have two water man breaks, but

455
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:54,400
I want to thank our employees that came
in at 7 o'clock, the normal time. They

456
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:59,119
stayed till 900 p.m. And I know that
because the break was right in front of

457
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:03,440
my house. So, I do want to thank them.
It was a very long day.

458
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:07,520
That's all I have
>> with that. And that water man break by

459
00:36:05,599 --> 00:36:12,660
your house. The what's happening with
the road? It's like buckling down.

460
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,560
Question.
>> [laughter]

461
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:18,119
» I mean that's kind of tricky because
it's o

462
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:27,040
» So what happens if our water main cause
the road problem? [laughter]

463
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:32,079
» I'm not sure.
>> And that water ran for all day long.

464
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,599
» They will let us know if they want us to
fix it.

465
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:39,760
» Especially chip and seal. He'll be doing
it.

466
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:43,599
» Absolutely. That's a point. EPA gave us
a paper. We can talk about it. Why?

467
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:49,359
We'll talk about a workshop. Why the
water water was left on a shirt?

468
00:36:47,359 --> 00:36:53,040
» But we'll do workshop. Okay. All right.
Cemetery Andy.

469
00:36:50,880 --> 00:37:00,160
» Um I really don't have anything for
cemetery since our monthly meeting isn't

470
00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:06,960
until the Thursday the 27th.
>> Okay. Then SCMR, that's me. We found out

471
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:13,359
that the U street lights when they go
bad whether mechanism or the bulb they

472
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:18,760
are going to start uh switching over to
LED.

473
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,760
So

474
00:37:19,839 --> 00:37:25,920
we already talked to signs that we put
up on slow and we'll be trying to follow

475
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:34,400
up and see if helping slow track it
down. Um there's one child sign or it'll

476
00:37:31,599 --> 00:37:40,160
be put out.
>> Okay. Safety for bar.

477
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:47,200
» Um I we did the fire extinguisher
training that went well last

478
00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:53,760
what was that the seventh? Um and I'm
working for our towards our other uh

479
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:59,359
class. It'll be a stop the bleed class.
Um, and then I'll let you guys know when

480
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:04,480
that gets scheduled.
>> I also had something, sorry. Um, I had a

481
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:08,079
report from a resident that we were I
don't know, I haven't seen it myself,

482
00:38:05,839 --> 00:38:12,320
that we were moving some of our heavy
equipment on a trailer, but didn't have

483
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:16,240
it strapped down or chained down.
>> We have straps for it.

484
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:19,359
» We didn't have any. Now we're good.
>> No, I mean, we're still we we're

485
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,520
learning as we go.
>> Okay.

486
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,320
» It was just not something we thought of,
but we do have straps now.

487
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,280
» Okay. Do you need any training on that?
Because I'm sure I could get some help

488
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,839
with that.
>> There's training out there. I'm always

489
00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:38,160
willing to take it the same way.
>> Okay. Absolutely. Thank you.

490
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:42,720
» Okay. For SCAD, I have SCAD report. We
went over their finances. Everything's

491
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:47,040
fine. They do have surplus property.
It's an old ambulance. They It's

492
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:53,200
possible [clears throat] Orwell might be
using that um for their water and

493
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:58,800
service. I don't I don't know how but uh
they did get their new mower and they

494
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:04,560
are doing their 2027 budget but they're
going to have to

495
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:11,359
increase for uh health insurance um
increase for equipment and CPR

496
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:18,560
equipment. Um Rock Creek had 16 callouts
which last month I think we had only

497
00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:23,440
four and we average maybe 11. So, we're
a little bit higher, but it's coming

498
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:28,160
into the end of summer. And
um let me see. Orwell had 29

499
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,760
compared to us.
>> Wow.

500
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:37,160
» And for the month, they did 205 runs and
trauma came up as the highest one of the

501
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,160
24

502
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,760
by

503
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:48,560
planning commission.
>> Okay. So, planning commission had a

504
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:56,560
meeting today and um if anybody was at
the public hearing last month um we had

505
00:39:53,440 --> 00:40:00,240
tabled the map changes and so we're
going to start over from scratch. We're

506
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:03,280
going to do a community needs assessment
and we're going to run that over a

507
00:40:01,839 --> 00:40:07,920
couple of months and we're going to
encourage everybody to do the survey so

508
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:11,680
that we can collect some data and go
from there.

509
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:17,359
That's all I got.
personnel that will remain. We're still

510
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:22,720
working on a procedure by chance, but we
have to be able to use them, but we

511
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:27,280
allow them to still do their physical
work. So, we're still working on that.

512
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,599
» I didn't hear you. What did you say? You
were working on

513
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:34,880
» the body.
>> Oh,

514
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:38,000
how's that going with everybody wearing
them?

515
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:40,000
» We're working on 100%.
>> Well, I know, but h I mean, they're

516
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:45,040
wearing them.
>> Yeah. We warm pretty much all day today.

517
00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:48,473
» Like it.
>> I don't even notice it. [laughter]

518
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:55,200
» All right. My report. I'm just going to
remind everybody that we're doing a

519
00:40:51,760 --> 00:41:04,839
community yard sale.
We got stuff over the garage. 10 to 3.

520
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,839
And that's September 4th, 5th, and 6.

521
00:41:05,359 --> 00:41:08,359
Cecilia.

522
00:41:09,359 --> 00:41:15,520
fiscal office
[clears throat]

523
00:41:13,119 --> 00:41:20,800
really have much of anything
reports are here.

524
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Um
said our expenditures were higher

525
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:29,738
because we did finally get the invoice
for the Bobcat.

526
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:29,738
Um, [laughter]

527
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:40,240
I did want to say though that um finally
got in touch with some people at First

528
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:46,079
Energy. It was really fiscal. It's just
something that I was doing. Um,

529
00:41:43,359 --> 00:41:48,560
something that David been working on and
the

530
00:41:48,023 --> 00:41:54,960
[clears throat]
electrical boxes are our responsibility.

531
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:59,680
Um, they will not remove them for us.
One of the problems we're having is

532
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:05,560
trying to get First Enterp to um compile
a list of which ones have had all of the

533
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:12,880
» which have been completely deenergized
and which ones haven't. Some of them

534
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:20,800
have just had the immunity removed
and some of them still have um

535
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:24,480
are going to the box itself.
>> They don't know which ones are. So,

536
00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:27,040
» so we're not touching.
>> So, I would I was going to say, so I

537
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:30,720
wouldn't touch them.
>> Chloe, what was the ones they tied the

538
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:34,079
things around? Did that they didn't
verify the live ones when

539
00:42:32,580 --> 00:42:38,400
[clears throat] they did that? When
didn't you do that with Dave?

540
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:42,000
» Yeah, we Aaron and I went around and
tied red caution tape around.

541
00:42:40,079 --> 00:42:45,839
» But that doesn't
>> because he that was when Dave was

542
00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:50,319
supposed to call and see if they would
take them out. So, we went and marked

543
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:54,880
them so it' be easy to find. Um but now
we have contacted First Energy and they

544
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:58,160
said that it was their our
responsibility to remove but not all of

545
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,280
them are deenergized.
>> Okay.

546
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:06,400
» So that doesn't
>> So First Energy is responsible for

547
00:43:03,599 --> 00:43:09,520
deenergizing them. We're responsible for
taken away.

548
00:43:07,359 --> 00:43:13,760
» Yeah. But technically they belong to us
and they they will not

549
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,760
» Yeah.
>> Well, we can't remove them if they're

550
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,280
still
>> Exactly. [laughter] No. [snorts]

551
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:23,359
» Correct.
>> Our answer is probably river kind of

552
00:43:20,319 --> 00:43:26,520
stand right now like zoning inspector.
>> Oh yes

553
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:34,560
» he sent out eight vacant property
warning violation notices with vacant

554
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:38,160
property registration forms. They have
until August 31st to respond. Anyone

555
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:43,040
with no response will get a
non-compliance violation letter and that

556
00:43:40,319 --> 00:43:46,000
will be sent out August 31st.
He will be sending out high grass

557
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:50,240
letters this week to a couple of
residents. He had a resident call and

558
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:54,079
have a complaint about a few properties
near them with junk and old cars.

559
00:43:52,319 --> 00:43:57,715
Warning letters will be going out for
those properties and Dan is glad the

560
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:02,300
planning commission is updating the
[clears throat] zoning. He finds it very

561
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:04,320
vague on those topics.
[laughter]

562
00:44:05,359 --> 00:44:10,960
» Sorry. On the planning commission,
didn't you guys have a discussion

563
00:44:09,505 --> 00:44:14,560
[clears throat] about that ordinance
about the vacant properties that you

564
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:18,240
needed to review it and update it?
>> Haven't gotten that far yet. So, we're

565
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:20,960
using the ordinance that is in place
without the updates, even though we knew

566
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:25,079
we needed to update it.
>> Updates are going to take a while.

567
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,599
» Went over what?
>> Nothing.

568
00:44:37,015 --> 00:44:41,040
[laughter]
>> I don't remember.

569
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:45,839
» Well, can't we just bring that to
workshop as a topic?

570
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:48,480
I think it already came before council
and

571
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:52,640
» we'll have to look back and I think it
was reviewed back.

572
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:58,240
» They decided that the presidents were
okay what they were and

573
00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:01,440
» I I only recall the um planning
commission meeting I attended. I don't

574
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:04,240
recall it at work at um [laughter]
council.

575
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:07,440
» I think Gloria brought it to council
right after that.

576
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,599
» I don't remember. I have to look in
there.

577
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:15,640
» All right.
>> What was the letters that um zoning sent

578
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,640
out?

579
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:23,599
» He sent out the vacant property warnings
and he will be sending out high grass

580
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:28,560
letters to a couple residents and um
residents that had complained that there

581
00:45:26,319 --> 00:45:30,640
were junk on other properties. Those
properties will be getting a warning

582
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,760
letter.
>> He sent out vacant

583
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:39,280
» Yeah, those are properties letters.
>> Yeah, that he has sent out.

584
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:43,359
Are we attempting to reach out to
property owners or sending

585
00:45:40,551 --> 00:45:48,599
[clears throat] them a letter?
>> What's the letter say that's vacant

586
00:45:45,599 --> 00:45:48,599
property?

587
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:52,760
» Not the one that sent it out.

588
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:04,800
» We don't have it.
>> The zoning reports to you, right, Chloe?

589
00:46:02,319 --> 00:46:06,800
» Okay.
All

590
00:46:07,359 --> 00:46:14,666
right. Utility clerk Lauren. These are
motions to approve adjustments.

591
00:46:12,646 --> 00:46:14,666
[cough and clears throat]

592
00:46:37,537 --> 00:46:39,557
» [clears throat]

593
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:50,240
» I don't understand any of this
or would wait for us to make a motion to

594
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:56,319
accept. Um,
okay. She had this month.

595
00:46:53,760 --> 00:47:01,440
They had tenants move out and after some
time they had never paid the balance.

596
00:46:58,079 --> 00:47:04,160
So, it was transferred to the owners.
Um,

597
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:07,599
» what was transferred to the owners?
>> The balance that was left

598
00:47:05,839 --> 00:47:10,480
» the balance of their
>> water sewer.

599
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:14,560
» Water sewer was transferred to the
owners of the property.

600
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:18,640
» Yes.
In the state of Ohio, the owner is

601
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,680
responsible.
>> Okay.

602
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:25,760
» Okay. Thanks. So after, you know,
billing them probably for multiple

603
00:47:24,079 --> 00:47:30,079
months
and the owners get a copy of the bill

604
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:35,440
every month. So they are aware that the
balance is hanging out there. Um so

605
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:39,760
yeah, it was transferred to them. That's
what the transfers were.

606
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:42,400
» So the account number stays the same,
right?

607
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,359
The account number stays the same then
it looks like

608
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:48,720
» um the front digit is different. You see
one starts with

609
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:51,280
» Oh, I see.
>> So that's the difference between 10 and

610
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,240
one.
>> Oh

611
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,240
» yeah, that's

612
00:47:57,448 --> 00:48:05,280
[clears throat]
>> so these one that's moved if they moved.

613
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:07,680
» Oh, those are ones that also got
transferred.

614
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:11,040
» Yeah, I was looking.
>> Those were the transfer. Do they start

615
00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:17,280
with a nine or no? Thank you.
>> Okay, that was back in July. Um, it was

616
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:22,240
a different one that their deposit was
applied to their account. They moved

617
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:26,640
that probably wasn't transferred. That
was just their deposit would have been

618
00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:31,508
applied to their account, but it has to
be listed here as an adjustment because

619
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:36,480
it comes out of the system,
[clears throat] but it's not.

620
00:48:34,079 --> 00:48:41,359
It goes onto their balance. So it's like
they're paying $85, but that's not $85

621
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:45,319
coming over to the fiscal side. So
that's why it's listed here.

622
00:48:50,880 --> 00:49:01,960
» I move to make a motion to accept the
adjustments for August.

623
00:48:58,319 --> 00:49:01,960
» I'll second it.

624
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,800
» Mrs.
>> Yes.

625
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,319
» Mrs. Beckwood.
>> Yes. Mrs. Nash.

626
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,680
» Yes.
>> Mrs. Cintech.

627
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:12,828
» Yes.
>> And Mrs. Swander.

628
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,828
» Yes. [laughter]

629
00:49:13,359 --> 00:49:20,559
» Okay. We're going. There's nothing for
old Vincent.

630
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:25,520
» Um, actually, I had something.
Um, I had a statement I wanted to read

631
00:49:23,839 --> 00:49:29,520
regarding some allegations concerning
the June 26 recording.

632
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:33,200
I would like to address it with
statement that was made by Donna Wazny

633
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:36,640
concerning a video that was posted
following a special meeting held on June

634
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:41,440
26th.
Recordings provide an objective record

635
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:46,480
and protect everyone involved. I do not
record meetings or activities to

636
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:51,119
embarrass anyone. Unaltered recordings
ensure events are documented accurately.

637
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:56,000
Residents deserve the complete context
of events before forming conclusions.

638
00:49:54,079 --> 00:50:00,079
The concern over privacy was handled
publicly rather than raising concern

639
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:05,359
directly to me. While framed as an
effort to protect privacy, it focused on

640
00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:08,640
personal opinion. The video shows me
reading and reviewing records as well as

641
00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:12,800
individuals remaining in the public
building for an extended period engaging

642
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:17,520
in social conversations including the
utility clerk. While I, an elected

643
00:50:15,359 --> 00:50:21,520
council member, was attempting to read,
I asked Suzanne Hayes, Kate Borisel to

644
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:26,559
take their conversation outside or at
least keep it down. Both requests were

645
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:30,720
denied. The recording also captured
discussion regarding another resident's

646
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:34,079
medical condition. That resident was not
present and to my knowledge had no idea

647
00:50:32,559 --> 00:50:38,240
his medical information was being
discussed by the utility clerk. And

648
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:42,800
Donna, this is not a behavior I support
as a council person nor as a resident.

649
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:46,720
Donna made serious allegations about my
character without fact and does not and

650
00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:51,200
does nothing to improve the working
relationship necessary to serve our

651
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:56,800
residents.
>> Thank you. Can I ask a question?

652
00:50:54,160 --> 00:51:00,640
» Did you take the post down?
>> I I have already answered that. We've

653
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:07,280
already discussed that. I simply read
the statement and that's all I'm going

654
00:51:02,319 --> 00:51:10,675
to discuss on that today. Thank you.
All right. We're going into new

655
00:51:08,559 --> 00:51:15,839
business.
[clears throat] We're going to do

656
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:21,119
nominations for council person appoint
and committee appointments. I'm going to

657
00:51:18,079 --> 00:51:25,920
read this over real quick. This is to
for throwing your head in. To be

658
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:30,319
eligible, you must be a registered voter
and have lived in the village for one

659
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:35,040
year. Potential candidates who wish to
throw their hat into the ring will have

660
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:41,119
three minutes to speak.
Tiger council will then make nominations

661
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:45,119
and vote.
So,

662
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:54,960
» are we are we discussing who our promp
is before? When we got Cecilia's email,

663
00:51:49,520 --> 00:52:02,960
it said promp and then nominations for
new council. And are we able

664
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:09,520
if somebody is not elected, if they are
appointed to council,

665
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:15,520
what is that um
requirement for being proton?

666
00:52:13,359 --> 00:52:22,319
Do we have anything in place or is there
anything legal for that position?

667
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:27,119
» Mr. President, if I might, the email I
sent was just a list of things. It was

668
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:31,680
not in any particular order. Um, it may
be best to appoint the new person to

669
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:37,839
village council and then allow them in
on the vote process, board, president,

670
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:40,640
prom. Um, there the president prom needs
to be a member of council. It doesn't

671
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:43,640
matter whether they're elected or
appointed.

672
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:52,559
Okay.
>> So, does the council

673
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:58,319
want to discuss that? What we feel like?
>> I also had a resident approach me and

674
00:52:54,720 --> 00:53:01,440
asked if to become promp. It was a
requirement that you were an elected

675
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:06,611
official over an appointed official. And
that's why I

676
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:09,920
» I also had that. Somebody asked me that.
[clears throat]

677
00:53:07,839 --> 00:53:12,640
» And Mr. President, the legal answer is
it doesn't matter as long as you're on

678
00:53:11,599 --> 00:53:16,319
council.
>> Okay. So council

679
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:20,720
» if us council want to discuss
>> I think that we should go with them

680
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:24,359
first and have a full council before we
decide for a

681
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:32,160
» I agree.
>> What about the appointed versus

682
00:53:29,599 --> 00:53:36,480
elected? How do you feel?
>> She just said it doesn't

683
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:41,760
that is not what I heard her say. Excuse
me. I haven't found anything legally

684
00:53:39,119 --> 00:53:46,000
that says either or. That same
discussion came up when I was appointed

685
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:50,480
less. Yeah. So, I haven't found
anything.

686
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:55,240
» Okay. Then I think it's up to council
then to to decide that.

687
00:53:55,280 --> 00:54:03,280
» I think we should go with I think we
should do interviews first and then

688
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:07,680
» let's appoint a new council person.
>> Yeah.

689
00:54:05,119 --> 00:54:13,839
» Okay. First. So in interviews so we're
gonna have some discussion once we hear

690
00:54:09,839 --> 00:54:16,640
from everybody amongst us.
>> Agreed. Yeah. [clears throat] Okay.

691
00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:19,372
» Angie, do you have any?
>> Yeah.

692
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,372
» Okay. [laughter]

693
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:26,160
» Are there anybody interested in being on
council?

694
00:54:23,359 --> 00:54:30,440
» So what is this? Are we opening that up?
No, that's

695
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,440
» No, that's former.

696
00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:39,520
» I saw
>> I saw a few hands in the air.

697
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,319
» Olivia,
>> who wants to go first?

698
00:54:41,839 --> 00:54:44,559
» Why not?
>> Go ahead, Olivia.

699
00:54:43,599 --> 00:54:47,920
» Who else is
>> wants to be on?

700
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:52,520
» Donna. Olivia. I'm not sure her her
name.

701
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,520
» Oh,

702
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:59,440
what's your last name?
>> Uh, Mortimer. M O R T I M E R

703
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:03,520
» T I M
>> E R

704
00:55:01,359 --> 00:55:05,280
» What's your first name?
>> Sammy.

705
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:08,280
» Sammy.
>> Sammy.

706
00:55:08,559 --> 00:55:11,720
» Hold on.

707
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,319
» It's a magic mushroom.

708
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,838
Okay. [laughter]

709
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:32,480
» Good evening and hello. My name is
Olivia Spray. My family and I proudly

710
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:36,559
call Rock Creek home. We've been here
nearly four years. We started out here

711
00:55:34,559 --> 00:55:40,559
renting and love this village so much we
decided to plant our roots here. Today,

712
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:44,640
I'm excited to announce my intention to
again apply for our own council seat. My

713
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:48,480
goal tonight is to express my dedication
and aspirations to become an active

714
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:53,359
member of the Rockway Council with the
primary purpose of ensuring every voice

715
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:58,160
whether in support or opposition is
heard. Our village faces significant

716
00:55:55,760 --> 00:56:01,680
challenges and in my opinion one of the
most pressing issues is a lack of

717
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:06,400
understanding about what residents truly
want. It's essential to foster open

718
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:10,720
dialogue and nurture input from the
community as the council exists solely

719
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:13,680
because of residents. Serving on the
council is a responsibility that

720
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:17,760
requires prioritizing the village
residents best interest even when

721
00:56:15,599 --> 00:56:22,160
decisions may not align with my personal
beliefs. I will advocate for what

722
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:26,079
fosters growth and development for Rock
Creek. In addition to the need for

723
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:30,319
better communication, I believe we must
address issues such as infrastructure

724
00:56:28,079 --> 00:56:34,480
improvement, economic development, and
community engagement. As a young woman

725
00:56:32,720 --> 00:56:38,160
entering the political arena, I want to
highlight the significance of our role

726
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:42,160
in leadership. Young women in politics
are often at the forefront of change,

727
00:56:40,319 --> 00:56:47,040
bringing fresh ideas and innovative
solutions to long-standing issues. Our

728
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:51,280
perspectives are not only different but
necessary for a balanced approach to

729
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:55,040
governance. Firstly, being young allows
me to view challenges through a

730
00:56:52,559 --> 00:56:59,200
different lens. I have the energy,
creativity, and resolutess to explore

731
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:04,559
new solutions that may not have been
considered. Secondly, young women in

732
00:57:01,599 --> 00:57:09,040
politics serve as role models, inspiring
the next generation to engage in civic

733
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:12,799
life. My application represents the
voices of young families and individuals

734
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:17,280
who are also passionate about our
community's future. Lastly, I believe in

735
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:22,400
engaging with younger constituents,
fosters a culture of inclusivity. By

736
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:26,319
encouraging diverse perspectives, we can
cultivate an environment where everyone

737
00:57:24,079 --> 00:57:29,440
feels valued and heard. Over the past
three months, things have been

738
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:33,280
particularly difficult for my family as
we face the loss of two loved ones.

739
00:57:31,359 --> 00:57:37,599
While this has been a challenging time,
it has only strengthened my resolve to

740
00:57:35,119 --> 00:57:42,240
contribute to my community. Sometimes
it's only through profound loss that we

741
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:48,265
can truly see the path laid before us.
My commitment to Rock Creek remains

742
00:57:44,079 --> 00:57:52,760
unwavering. I believe in our village.
[laughter]

743
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,760
» Thank you.

744
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:58,599
» Thank you. [clears throat]
>> Okay. Sammy

745
00:57:55,599 --> 00:57:58,599
» Sammy

746
00:58:01,365 --> 00:58:05,799
[laughter]
got the mushroom.

747
00:58:06,319 --> 00:58:09,280
» Let me know when you're ready. Let me
know.

748
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:13,040
» We are ready. [laughter]
>> All right. Hello everyone. My name is

749
00:58:11,119 --> 00:58:16,880
Sammy. I have been a resident of Rock
Creek for almost four years now. My

750
00:58:15,119 --> 00:58:20,640
family and I have absolutely loved
living in this wonderful little village

751
00:58:18,319 --> 00:58:24,079
that we call home. And we hope to
continue raising our family here for

752
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:27,119
many years to come. We love Rock Creek
so much that I actually convinced my

753
00:58:25,599 --> 00:58:31,680
parents to go here, too. They're now our
neighbors. Um, I currently work for the

754
00:58:30,079 --> 00:58:35,680
village of Roaming Shores in the water
and sewer utility billing department. I

755
00:58:33,839 --> 00:58:39,440
had a wonderful mentor, Mark Reed. I'm
sure a lot of you know Mark. Uh, through

756
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:43,359
that experience, I gained valuable
knowledge about village operations and

757
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:46,400
the importance of serving our residents.
And I believe I can bring that

758
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:50,079
experience and perspective to Rock Creek
as well. I'm running for village council

759
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:53,839
because I want to become more involved
in our community to give back to the

760
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:57,520
place that we get to call home and help
Rock Creek continue to grow while

761
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:01,599
preserving the small town community that
we all love. I truly believe Rock Creek

762
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:05,200
has so much potential and I would be
honored to have the opportunity to be a

763
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:08,640
part of its future. Thank you. That's
all. Thank you.

764
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:12,815
» Beat the timer.
>> Yeah, she has minutes left. [laughter]

765
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:22,640
» All right, can I just stand over there?
That would help.

766
00:59:20,620 --> 00:59:22,640
[laughter]

767
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:32,720
» All right, you're on.
>> Hello, my name is Donna Wley and I've

768
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:36,640
lived on Jefferson Street since 1993. My
husband and I have raised our four

769
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:41,040
children here and have appreciated the
public events and the services offered

770
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:45,119
by the village. I'm here tonight to ask
to be considered to build a vacancy

771
00:59:42,799 --> 00:59:49,599
currently on council. I am running
because I care deeply about our

772
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:54,400
community. I promise to work hard to be
a strong voice willing to listen to

773
00:59:51,599 --> 00:59:59,839
ideas, concerns and fees. We have an
idea to make things better and one make

774
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:04,480
it happen. If I am elected, I plan to
focus on three things. First, to address

775
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:08,799
our current concerns, working together
to bring a revolution and following

776
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:12,720
through to make it a reality. Second,
improve communication. What has been

777
01:00:11,119 --> 01:00:17,040
discussed in many meetings, there have
been little to no action taken to

778
01:00:14,319 --> 01:00:21,839
improve the situation. I seek to change
that. Third, I hope to make each

779
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:27,119
resident feel welcome to the meeting to
be more visible to the community and for

780
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:30,960
everyone to feel supported and valued. I
was fortunate to sit on council for

781
01:00:28,799 --> 01:00:34,960
several months last year and I learned a
great deal about how the bill runs.

782
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:39,920
Since then, I have continued to attend
workshops and meetings, keeping a breast

783
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:43,040
for the issues that village faces. Since
last year, I began a welcome program

784
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:48,640
designed to highlight our local
businesses and new friends by handing

785
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:52,880
out a gift basket. Each basket is a
handwritten note, a few household items,

786
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:56,559
plus an information packet that helps
business cards, menus, gift

787
01:00:54,480 --> 01:01:00,960
certificates, brochures, or pens
contributed by our local businesses and

788
01:00:58,559 --> 01:01:05,599
organizations. This has given me the
unique position of showcasing our

789
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:10,799
village and hearing from store of
finding residents. I currently serve on

790
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:15,359
the comm planning commission working as
a team to create an environment that

791
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:19,599
incoming businesses while retaining our
small town.

792
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:24,319
Over the years I've invested through
volunteer work by standing and executing

793
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:29,040
children's activities that work. I have
sat on various committees such as the

794
01:01:26,799 --> 01:01:33,119
state of school and those that were
interested in creating a historical

795
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:37,599
museum.
Most recently, I help with the Christmas

796
01:01:35,119 --> 01:01:43,440
parade both the cemetery and Brand Park
clean up and the large cabin changing

797
01:01:40,079 --> 01:01:48,799
tires around the town. In process now is
a community yard sale that is labor.

798
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:53,440
This includes all residents and our
list. I have a vested interest in the

799
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:58,839
village and do not hesitate to go high
school.

800
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,839
My life experiences.

801
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,772
Thank you.
>> [clears throat]

802
01:02:07,647 --> 01:02:15,799
[laughter]
>> Okay, there's no

803
01:02:12,799 --> 01:02:15,799
people.

804
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:25,799
» I would like to [laughter]
say

805
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:25,799
» I would like to sit on the council also.

806
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:37,119
Go ahead. I'm sorry.
>> My name is Samantha Brown and I we've

807
01:02:34,559 --> 01:02:43,359
been here since 93. We raised our
children here

808
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:50,960
and donated our time and effort to the
community. We've done have the cub

809
01:02:46,880 --> 01:03:00,160
scouts up to the full pledge scouts and
we've donated plenty of our time and in

810
01:02:55,040 --> 01:03:09,200
for PTO the schools our community
and I've been on council before

811
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:13,920
and was prom and helped out with many
visual things that we needed throughout

812
01:03:11,359 --> 01:03:21,200
the village
and I think I would be a good candidate

813
01:03:17,839 --> 01:03:24,319
to to help with the experience that I
had.

814
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,440
That's all I have.
>> Thank you.

815
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,599
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

816
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:48,039
» I would like to discuss what what
everybody thought before we jump into

817
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:48,039
voting so we can

818
01:03:49,839 --> 01:03:59,920
talk about. So some of the notes um
Sammy works at Roman Shores. I think

819
01:03:56,319 --> 01:04:05,359
that's good. Um
so would that be a conflict with her

820
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:10,799
job? Would she have to check that or
would it I just don't have any

821
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:14,640
like would that be an issue? Lauren
lives in

822
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:17,760
roaming tours and works for the village.
>> She's an employee.

823
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:22,720
» I know that there's quite a few other
ones, few other positions. Dave Larosa

824
01:04:21,119 --> 01:04:28,240
is Morgan Township. He works for
Trumbull. Mark Reed is a township

825
01:04:26,079 --> 01:04:31,920
trustee for Trumbull. He works in Roing
Shores. So, I would tend to say no.

826
01:04:31,359 --> 01:04:36,400
» All right.
>> Because of that,

827
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:39,799
» I mean, it seems like I see a lot of it.
>> Okay. No.

828
01:04:41,039 --> 01:04:49,520
I mean there was
>> any other highlights anybody wrote down

829
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:53,760
for that two that stood out to me and
they are both Olivia and Sammy and

830
01:04:51,920 --> 01:05:00,079
that's talking about young families
coming to the community because you know

831
01:04:56,559 --> 01:05:05,599
I think we have to I think we should
want to foster some of these younger

832
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:09,520
people coming in and getting on council
um and getting interested in what's

833
01:05:08,079 --> 01:05:15,280
going on the village. so they can have
some input on the future that is theirs.

834
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:19,520
I mean, honestly, theirs and their
children's.

835
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:23,920
So, those are two things that really
stood out to me.

836
01:05:22,185 --> 01:05:30,400
[clears throat] So, I'm a little biased
because Donna was on council when I was

837
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:34,640
appointed and um
she does a lot for the community. So,

838
01:05:32,319 --> 01:05:39,599
that stands out for me.
>> I agree. I think Donna does so much for

839
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:44,240
the community. She's continued to come
to every even though she was not

840
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:50,559
elected. Um she continues to come to
every council meeting, every workshop.

841
01:05:47,119 --> 01:05:54,000
Um she just what anybody needs, she
always is the first one to say, "I'll

842
01:05:53,119 --> 01:05:59,200
help."
>> Yeah. That

843
01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:05,200
and I worked with her on council before.
>> I understand. I understand that for

844
01:06:01,359 --> 01:06:10,400
sure. Um, but watching that last meeting
and and all the things, I just feel like

845
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:13,599
there would be a lot of animosity them
adding to our table.

846
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:17,920
» Well, all I can say to that, if that
would have happened to me, my husband's

847
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:21,680
also having some medical issues, and if
that would have happened to me, I would

848
01:06:19,839 --> 01:06:22,799
have been furious.
>> Well,

849
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:28,480
» furious.
>> I get that when we were at

850
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:31,760
the
um fire extinguisher training.

851
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:37,680
» Mhm.
We were all there talking.

852
01:06:34,319 --> 01:06:41,920
Well, she didn't say anything to Dave at
the that meeting. She didn't or to me

853
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,920
» or to
focus.

854
01:06:42,799 --> 01:06:48,319
» We are.
>> I'm answering her question.

855
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:53,280
» So, yeah, we're discussing
>> No, it isn't. It's right on point. She

856
01:06:50,559 --> 01:06:56,720
just mentioned it. So, I wanted to
>> address that.

857
01:06:55,599 --> 01:07:05,359
I I [clears throat] think we need
someone totally new. um giving residents

858
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:11,359
a chance to come in to this table um
welcoming them to come up with other

859
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:15,200
ideas on how they can join into our
community.

860
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:22,720
» Yeah. If you talk about um experience,
Samantha has served on council and as

861
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:25,839
prom. So I mean that is also um number
of years of experience that she had.

862
01:07:24,671 --> 01:07:29,440
[clears throat] So that's what you're
looking for.

863
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:37,119
» So my concern with um Samantha and the
experiences in prior meetings, she has

864
01:07:33,359 --> 01:07:42,799
questioned um certain ways that council
works. And in my opinion, I feel like

865
01:07:40,319 --> 01:07:47,119
she should know those things because she
served on council. That so that's

866
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:50,680
that's my regular.
>> What do you think, Angie?

867
01:07:52,181 --> 01:07:58,799
» [clears throat]
>> Well, experience matters and if you have

868
01:07:56,640 --> 01:08:01,920
a lot of experience and you do a lot of
things for the village already

869
01:08:01,351 --> 01:08:07,760
[clears throat]
as Donna does and Samantha has done

870
01:08:05,359 --> 01:08:12,520
things in the past, I do not know her
that well.

871
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,520
Uh

872
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:23,920
even though younger people are uh
welcome to come to the council meetings,

873
01:08:18,239 --> 01:08:28,207
um I just met Olivia and um
uh Sammy. I don't think I've met, but

874
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:32,480
I've seen face their Facebook
[clears throat]

875
01:08:28,799 --> 01:08:39,920
book posts and stuff like that. Uh I
like Donna for her experience and what

876
01:08:35,359 --> 01:08:45,600
she's done. as to that meeting that we
had where the confrontation existed.

877
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:51,359
That's a sorrowful thing that should
have not happened and people should have

878
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:55,359
used better judgment
and

879
01:08:53,120 --> 01:09:00,400
that I would go with someone who's
already been here and has more

880
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:07,839
experience.
I understand with both of those um with

881
01:09:03,440 --> 01:09:14,000
both Donna and um Samantha, all due
respect, they did run and both of them

882
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:22,239
had the lowest votes from the community.
So, um I'm just asking for open minds

883
01:09:17,440 --> 01:09:28,640
and new faces, new new young people to
come in and and help us serve.

884
01:09:26,719 --> 01:09:32,520
said there would be no more bias, no
more animosity.

885
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:42,480
» How can you How can you say there'd be
no more bias and animosity when that

886
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:51,199
kind of stuff happens every day
and people are not really basically very

887
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:57,199
good friends. We have not bonded as a
council since the beginning of the year

888
01:09:54,239 --> 01:10:02,640
and it's been taking this long for us to
even I'll say tolerate one another and

889
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:06,800
talk to one another and that's the
group. Well, and I think we've seen some

890
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:14,000
facen
stuff. So, I you know, I'd like to,

891
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:20,000
you know, it's a shame that we haven't
had a whole lot of new young people come

892
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:24,000
in because young people really don't
want to come spend their time in a

893
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:26,560
council meeting.
>> Yeah. [clears throat]

894
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:30,880
» Obviously, they're watching.
>> I say, well, we have two that do. And I

895
01:10:29,199 --> 01:10:34,239
think that is an advantage that we're
missing out on. You know, we've talked

896
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:39,600
about this communication thing and
getting out to more people and I think

897
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:42,960
that we're kind of I think I used the
word stale before. You know, we're a

898
01:10:41,199 --> 01:10:47,520
little stale in our approach to things
and this might give us some fresh eyes

899
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:56,440
and opportunities from a younger point
of view that we simply don't have.

900
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,440
But I think it would be new perspective.

901
01:10:58,480 --> 01:11:06,080
I'm going to vote for Sammy.
>> Make a motion. Make a motion.

902
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:09,840
» Well, I know, but I mean,
if we don't like try to talk about who

903
01:11:08,159 --> 01:11:14,239
we're going to vote for, I understand we
need to make a motion, but if we don't

904
01:11:12,719 --> 01:11:21,120
talk about who we're going to vote for,
then how do we know? What if we vote for

905
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:26,400
the same person three times?
Like if you like Sammy too, you like

906
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:31,600
Sammy, you like Sammy, but we need to
like maybe

907
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:36,800
talk about which one would be the best
fit. And

908
01:11:34,159 --> 01:11:39,800
I think we could do multiple motions and
see.

909
01:11:40,159 --> 01:11:44,360
So if we make a motion

910
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:54,719
whichever one you want and then they go
and then if that one doesn't go then go

911
01:11:53,120 --> 01:12:00,239
to the next one.
>> So then the first one who gets the go.

912
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:04,800
» Yeah [clears throat] I understand your
point. What you're trying to say is we

913
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:10,960
need to make sure that we're giving each
person a fair voting. If we don't have

914
01:12:08,159 --> 01:12:15,280
this discussion, we're not doing that.
Let's see where we're going.

915
01:12:14,184 --> 01:12:18,280
[clears throat]
So,

916
01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:24,400
» I already told you who I who I thought
should be.

917
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:30,719
» I think it should be Donna.
>> Yep. I My opinion was Donna. I don't I

918
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:35,600
don't know Sammy enough yet. Um I hope
that

919
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:38,560
maybe I can get to know her a little
better.

920
01:12:40,480 --> 01:12:50,800
So then I mean I don't know her either.
So can we then table this appointment

921
01:12:46,719 --> 01:12:53,600
and then um no vote again later
>> that we can get [clears throat] to know

922
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:58,480
more people or give her another chance
to talk or something like let us know.

923
01:12:56,159 --> 01:13:03,120
» I think I think that more it's it's
possible that more opportunities could

924
01:13:00,159 --> 01:13:03,120
open.

925
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:10,560
I mean,
>> you have a motion.

926
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:14,480
» I have my personal feelings that I don't
think that is the fit because I don't

927
01:13:12,159 --> 01:13:19,280
think, as Angie said, we've gotten very
cohesive as council and I don't believe

928
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:23,840
after the events last week, that's going
to help. I think that's going to hurt.

929
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:28,159
So, if we're trying to hurt our path
forward, that would be one thing I think

930
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:33,520
we should try to help our path forward,
which would be pulling in one of the two

931
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:36,400
newer candidates that [clears throat]
have not been on council that do have

932
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,360
experience.
>> I don't think that's fair to Donna to

933
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,719
say that.
>> I don't think it's fair to the others to

934
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:48,080
avoid to leave them out.
>> I make a motion that we nominate Donna

935
01:13:45,679 --> 01:13:54,239
Wy as council person.
>> I make a motion that we nominate Sammy.

936
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:57,239
or second Sammy
motion.

937
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:05,760
» Mr. President, so
>> under Robert's order, the first motion

938
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:11,440
was made [clears throat] to appoint
Donna to the council. So that and it was

939
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:15,840
seconded. So that motion would have to
be voted on first and then the second

940
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:18,880
motion, if the first motion fails, then
the second motion would have to be voted

941
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:23,199
on.
>> Okay. to your point.

942
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:26,400
» Motion is for
>> So we have Mrs. Beck.

943
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,880
» Yes.
>> Mrs.

944
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:33,000
» Yes.
>> Mrs. Cinte.

945
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,000
» No.

946
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:37,400
» Mrs. N.
>> Yes.

947
01:14:38,480 --> 01:14:42,360
» Mrs. Spear.
>> No.

948
01:14:50,731 --> 01:14:57,120
» [clears throat]
>> Go ahead. Is there any more nominations?

949
01:14:55,040 --> 01:15:00,120
» I mean, we nominated Sammy. She
seconded.

950
01:15:05,199 --> 01:15:08,440
» I did.

951
01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:20,640
Mrs. Cint,
>> yes.

952
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,560
» Mrs.
>> Yes.

953
01:15:22,172 --> 01:15:24,560
[clears throat]
>> Mrs.

954
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,760
» No.
>> Mrs. No.

955
01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:30,760
» And Mrs. N?
>> No.

956
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:36,440
» Any more?

957
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,520
» No.

958
01:15:44,442 --> 01:15:46,462
» [laughter]

959
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:58,360
» What did you say?
>> I asked if she had an oath. Mr.

960
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,360
President,

961
01:16:01,199 --> 01:16:05,719
» hold on. We're just doing

962
01:16:14,573 --> 01:16:16,593
» [laughter]

963
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:23,840
» All right. Take a second.
>> That way, Mr. President, that way it's

964
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:27,280
official within the 30 days required by
the statute.

965
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,280
» Okay.

966
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:39,960
I had two of some things and none of
others. So,

967
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:47,360
» we're all missing.
>> Did everybody get the August 11th

968
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:49,998
» meeting minutes? Cuz I had two. There's
an extra. [laughter]

969
01:17:01,733 --> 01:17:03,753
» [laughter]

970
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:14,320
» Mrs. Wazy,

» To which I've been
>> I want to thank everybody. Can I ask a

987
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:22,320
question?
>> Um, so since Donna was just appointed to

988
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:26,480
council, planning commission is now
going to have an open seat. So if

989
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:30,440
anybody's interested in that, come to
the next planning meeting.

990
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:38,560
» So it will be it's shared in the
newspaper.

991
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:41,120
» It is the before the council meeting at
5:30

992
01:18:40,480 --> 01:18:46,679
» workshop.
>> Workshop. Yeah.

993
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:46,679
Oh yeah.

994
01:18:50,239 --> 01:18:58,560
» And the next one's
>> I just wanted to thank everybody that

995
01:18:55,520 --> 01:19:00,400
stood up.
>> Thanks a lot. Thanks for being here at

996
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,520
this point.
>> Thank you.

997
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:06,894
» Yes. Thank you everybody. Thank you.
>> Okay. We're going to the point [snorts]

998
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,840
» full

999
01:19:23,869 --> 01:19:25,889
[laughter]

1000
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,800
present.

1001
01:19:32,719 --> 01:19:39,920
Well, I would like to make a motion for
Barbara to be promp. Um, basically same

1002
01:19:38,159 --> 01:19:45,600
reasons I said in the past. She was the
highest election um voted person at this

1003
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:52,600
table and that means that the residents
spoke. Um, and I feel that we should

1004
01:19:48,239 --> 01:19:52,600
listen to what the residents had to say.

1005
01:19:52,719 --> 01:19:55,880
» We'll second.

1006
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:05,679
I would like to nominate Glenda as she's
been on council for a long number of

1007
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:11,360
years, worked with multiple councils,
administration, mayors. So, I feel she

1008
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:16,925
has a personality to be impartial. She
is very precise in the way she works her

1009
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:19,840
sentences and addresses situations.
[clears throat] I feel she would be

1010
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:22,820
» So, do we have to vote on that first
one? Yeah.

1011
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:24,840
» All right. We just went over that.
[laughter]

1012
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:42,080
I nominated Barb Gloria seconded.
>> Um Wendy.

1013
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:45,080
» Yes.
>> Gloria.

1014
01:20:46,480 --> 01:20:54,679
Um Mrs. Nash.
Uh

1015
01:20:50,719 --> 01:20:54,679
» I'll probably go with Barb.

1016
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:59,040
And Donna,
>> no.

1017
01:20:58,159 --> 01:21:03,280
» And Brenda,
>> no.

1018
01:20:59,679 --> 01:21:06,760
» And I say yes.
>> Oh, I'm sorry.

1019
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:15,239
» Four to two.
>> Thank you everybody. [laughter]

1020
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:15,239
You too.

1021
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:23,736
» Not for me. [laughter]
>> Which ones are

1022
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:28,000
» Yeah. on these committee appointments,
[laughter]

1023
01:21:24,480 --> 01:21:31,760
we had um went over those sheets where
we tried to put together what the

1024
01:21:29,440 --> 01:21:36,239
committees cover and we never finished
that.

1025
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:41,040
You know, we we said we had some
guidelines that Pam gave us that she

1026
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:45,360
created, but we never went back and
nailed that down, discussed it, and

1027
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:49,360
finished it. Um I'm wondering if we
should wait till workshop and try to do

1028
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:54,480
that at the same time we appoint
committees so that we can go over all of

1029
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:58,480
those and understand the committees. um
>> see what everyone's strengths are and

1030
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:02,159
where and discuss I think you know as
council members I don't know each

1031
01:22:00,480 --> 01:22:03,760
other's strengths and I'm sure they
don't know

1032
01:22:02,719 --> 01:22:06,800
» now that we have D on
>> right we don't know each other's

1033
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:10,719
strengths I think it'd be good for us to
have that discussion amongst us

1034
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:13,360
» and make that um that
>> just because there's so many that we

1035
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:18,960
need to fill now
>> go ahead

1036
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:25,199
» so it is my understanding that we can
divvy up what's what was Sam's

1037
01:22:22,719 --> 01:22:28,080
» but we can't change any other committee
till January

1038
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:33,840
» till January
>> and I looked up planning commission and

1039
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:36,960
that is actually for my entire term.
>> So that's the information that I have

1040
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:40,560
other than that.
>> So Sam was on almost every committee I

1041
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:44,560
think. So we have a lot of [snorts]
spaces open.

1042
01:22:41,679 --> 01:22:48,719
» I'm going to stay on for now.
>> Huh?

1043
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:52,480
» I'm going to stay on for that.
>> Are you allowed to do that?

1044
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:57,040
» Yes.
So it be water and sewer.

1045
01:22:54,159 --> 01:23:01,719
» So be water, sewer,
>> which is streets and then personnel.

1046
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:12,400
» So are we trying to fill these now or
not? I mean I would like to make a

1047
01:23:08,719 --> 01:23:17,679
motion to wait and discuss at at a
workshop where we can

1048
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:24,159
kind of talk to each other about our
strengths and what we want to.

1049
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:32,159
So, Mr. President, if I can, according
to both the rules of council and

1050
01:23:28,159 --> 01:23:36,000
administrative code section 22
2203,

1051
01:23:34,239 --> 01:23:42,320
which also codifies the rules of
council. Um, council shall divide itself

1052
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:46,800
in committees to study matters at the
first meeting in January. The president

1053
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:51,840
and council shall nominate members of
council to serve on standing committees.

1054
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:56,320
Um
if the motion is adopted, any changes in

1055
01:23:54,239 --> 01:23:59,920
the original names,
repeat the names. To expedite matters,

1056
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:03,600
the vote need not be taken unless
council asks. For the sake of

1057
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:07,440
prominating the spirit of cooperation,
it would be considered prudent if the

1058
01:24:05,440 --> 01:24:11,840
mayor would from time to time ask
council members for suggestions.

1059
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:16,239
However, the mayor shall not be bound by
rule.

1060
01:24:13,199 --> 01:24:20,480
So there the president of council
nominates who's going to be on what

1061
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:23,199
committees and then council approves
which is not what we did in January

1062
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:26,360
though.
>> I can't

1063
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:36,239
there's three opens.
>> Yes. I'm already on personnel so I can

1064
01:24:34,719 --> 01:24:39,239
stay on personnel.
>> Okay.

1065
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:45,360
Barb, you've done a lot of you have
experience hiring and firing people. So,

1066
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,120
personnel would probably be a good fit
for you.

1067
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:52,880
» You know, too.
>> I I do too. So, I'll take personel, too.

1068
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:56,280
» Well, is it just
>> It's two.

1069
01:24:56,719 --> 01:25:01,199
» Are you interested in it? Gloria's
interested. Are you interested in it?

1070
01:25:00,159 --> 01:25:03,520
» I don't.
>> We only need two.

1071
01:25:02,639 --> 01:25:07,600
» Yeah.
>> And there's Brenda. I don't know

1072
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,840
anything about water and sewer or the
streets.

1073
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:13,360
» I don't think we anyone does. We were
waiting for that training.

1074
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:17,360
» Take water and sewer. Would you also
check the streets?

1075
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:21,840
» I will. I listen. I need to have some
committee assignments here. I'm I'm

1076
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:24,480
alternate on scad and I have nothing. We
need to divide this up a little more

1077
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:29,440
fairly
>> so that I have some duties that I'm

1078
01:25:26,239 --> 01:25:34,239
helping out with. It is unfair to saddle
anybody with that much responsibility.

1079
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:41,000
Um, I think water and sewer would make
sense

1080
01:25:36,159 --> 01:25:41,000
since I've been learning a lot about it.

1081
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:52,800
So, you want Wendy on water and
Donna, you want to do streets?

1082
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:57,120
» Streets.
>> Thank you for taking streets.

1083
01:25:55,520 --> 01:26:00,120
I guess I'll have to vote between me and
Barb.

1084
01:26:01,440 --> 01:26:06,040
» You're going to need to run through all
these again.

1085
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:15,924
» So, water and sewer, Wendy, SCMR, Donna.
>> Yeah.

1086
01:26:13,904 --> 01:26:15,924
[clears throat]

1087
01:26:18,480 --> 01:26:25,280
» Are there safety stamps that he's
staying out of?

1088
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:32,800
» Yes. where you've got planning personnel
is Brenda and that was it. Wasn't that a

1089
01:26:29,679 --> 01:26:37,760
change? Brenda and somebody else
between.

1090
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:41,560
So actually what's supposed to happen is
according to this rule

1091
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:48,480
if council doesn't approve the list made
by the president of council which is the

1092
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:53,760
mayor
um council can move to strike out one or

1093
01:26:51,199 --> 01:26:58,000
more names but not to insert new ones
and which the president shall do if such

1094
01:26:55,440 --> 01:27:02,320
a motion is adopted. After any changes
in the original names have been made.

1095
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:07,120
The president shall repeat the names as
they now stand and ask for approval.

1096
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:13,600
Again,
um council can strike a name. President

1097
01:27:09,679 --> 01:27:17,760
can put somebody else in until
the decision is finally made. A vote

1098
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:24,320
need not be taken unless it is asked for
by council. [laughter] So, the mayor

1099
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:28,719
should fill positions and then council
can vote to accept it or they can strike

1100
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:32,960
a person, but they can't nominate
somebody else to take the place. It's up

1101
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:37,199
to the mayor then to appoint somebody.
>> Okay. So, Donna for SCMR, Wendy for

1102
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:42,400
sewer.
>> The mayor has to

1103
01:27:39,199 --> 01:27:47,040
» Yes. The mayor
got

1104
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:52,159
accept and then you vote to accept the
slate or reject the slate. And if you

1105
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:56,239
reject the slate, then you can strike a
name.

1106
01:27:54,320 --> 01:28:00,719
You can strike out one or more names,
but you cannot insert new ones. The

1107
01:27:58,719 --> 01:28:04,880
president then inserts a new name into
whatever struck and you vote again.

1108
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:11,560
» Who made that complicated?
>> I'm just

1109
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:11,560
» She said I'm reading from the book.

1110
01:28:12,719 --> 01:28:17,840
» Right.
>> So he has to he has to go through each

1111
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:20,880
one. He has to choose someone and then
we either accept or deny.

1112
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:21,920
» Right.
>> Are you ready?

1113
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:25,280
» Yes.
>> All right.

1114
01:28:22,639 --> 01:28:28,239
» I got scared.
Ser.

1115
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:32,960
Yeah.
>> Whitney are you

1116
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:37,120
» personel Brenda?
>> Those are this is the mayor's slate.

1117
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,880
» So you're changing that.
>> So we're changing it.

1118
01:28:38,480 --> 01:28:43,760
» Okay.
>> I thought we were only we were only

1119
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:49,040
filling what Sam has abandoned.
>> We are correct. [laughter]

1120
01:28:45,679 --> 01:28:51,199
» So he was on personnel and can't be on
personel.

1121
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:54,239
» Right. But Brenda's already on
personnel.

1122
01:28:51,840 --> 01:29:00,360
» I was already on personnel. Right. So
you're naming the chairman.

1123
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:00,360
Did you?

1124
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:10,679
» Okay,
Lindy. Um,

1125
01:29:07,679 --> 01:29:10,679
SCR.

1126
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:21,360
» Okay. The opposite of what Don and I
agreed. Okay.

1127
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:27,440
» You can strike it. Yeah. I mean,
you were good with streets. I was good

1128
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:30,639
with water and sewer.
Oh,

1129
01:29:29,751 --> 01:29:34,239
[laughter]
check out the lights.

1130
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:36,960
» No, I'm not worried about that. This
will work.

1131
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:42,159
» So, finish making your list and then
they vote to accept or reject your list.

1132
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:49,800
» Is that everything?
>> Yes.

1133
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:49,800
status. I see with that water sewer

1134
01:29:54,400 --> 01:30:00,592
CDMR is ready.
[laughter]

1135
01:30:01,679 --> 01:30:04,920
» Got it.

1136
01:30:05,122 --> 01:30:10,960
» [laughter]
>> So, if council wants to vote on that,

1137
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:14,719
» then
a council person has to

1138
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:20,679
vote.
>> I think we're good.

1139
01:30:17,199 --> 01:30:20,679
» I think we're good.

1140
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:29,000
» All right. Well,
>> no,

1141
01:30:25,199 --> 01:30:29,000
» I guess we're com.

1142
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:35,360
Um, [laughter]
if they're not in here, they still have

1143
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,920
the opportunity. Correct.
>> No,

1144
01:30:36,159 --> 01:30:42,159
» there are people that came in. I don't
know that anybody knew that rule coming

1145
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:46,159
in that wasn't here.
>> I spoke right off the bat when we opened

1146
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:48,400
that.
>> No, she's saying something to come in

1147
01:30:47,679 --> 01:30:50,400
after.
>> Yeah, I don't know that everybody heard

1148
01:30:49,679 --> 01:30:57,560
all that.
>> I guess I didn't hear it. So,

1149
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:57,560
I get started.

1150
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:01,679
» Let's see how this console runs.

1151
01:31:04,727 --> 01:31:06,747
» [snorts]

1152
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:12,639
» I didn't know we were doing that.
>> Jim Ble or Rel

1153
01:31:12,239 --> 01:31:20,000
» sorry.
>> Yeah. Um what is the projected revenue

1154
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:24,880
from this uh water height
over 12 months?

1155
01:31:22,719 --> 01:31:29,880
» Um
>> the whole thing or the infrastructure?

1156
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:35,120
the whole thing.
>> I don't know. I can't figure it out that

1157
01:31:33,199 --> 01:31:38,320
way. Um, and I don't have that in front
of me.

1158
01:31:36,480 --> 01:31:43,120
» But if you want to email me tomorrow, I
will give you those numbers.

1159
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:51,600
» I'll probably come in and see you again
later this week and I think I'm going to

1160
01:31:45,679 --> 01:31:55,600
have some record requests for you. Um,
also, can I get a copy of the code of

1161
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:59,520
conduct
that you have out?

1162
01:31:56,719 --> 01:31:59,520
» Sure.

1163
01:32:01,058 --> 01:32:03,078
» [laughter]

1164
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:19,239
» And that's it.
>> Thank you,

1165
01:32:15,679 --> 01:32:19,239
» Beverly Martin.

1166
01:32:19,440 --> 01:32:23,384
» Hold on. I got to touch your side.
[laughter]

1167
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:32,400
» There you go. Okay, this is for Wendy. I
assume from your conversation earlier

1168
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:37,920
that you're trying to do a referendum
against the water rates

1169
01:32:34,639 --> 01:32:41,199
and it seems to me like um uh the
current citizens we have to have the

1170
01:32:39,679 --> 01:32:45,600
water rates because I don't know where
everybody thinks we're going to be able

1171
01:32:42,719 --> 01:32:49,840
to pay the employees and chemicals and
everything we need to do. Water breaks

1172
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:54,159
if we don't raise our rate. The water
got to take care of itself. We can't

1173
01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:58,239
steal another wine item. So, we really
have to raise the rates. And I just

1174
01:32:55,920 --> 01:33:02,239
don't see unless you have some miracle
money from somewhere. I don't understand

1175
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:05,840
why you referendum. This is something
the village has to do. [clears throat]

1176
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:10,400
We have to we won't have any water in
six months. We we spend it all. We're

1177
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:14,960
done. What's going to happen? We run out
of money. But we already have two water

1178
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:19,120
line breaks. They're expensive. And we
have no extra revenue at all. We have

1179
01:33:17,199 --> 01:33:25,679
got to, you know, this is it's not it's
not a want to have, not a to not a want

1180
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:28,400
to have to. We then we really have to do
we have to raise the rates. I don't

1181
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:32,639
understand why people can't understand
that really. I know you ran on not

1182
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:36,159
running rates, but then you have been
here long enough to realize that we do

1183
01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:40,880
need money from the lottery. They really
do. You know, this is something that has

1184
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:47,080
to be done.
I just don't understand all this. But

1185
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:47,080
that was my thing about the laundry.

1186
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:57,704
» No,
>> Olivia, but hold on. Such a [laughter]

1187
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:04,560
» go.
>> Um, I had a question. Can the water bill

1188
01:34:02,719 --> 01:34:10,880
have a breakdown on our bill showing
where the funds for this break will be

1189
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:15,360
going like Ashula and Shores do have on
their water bills? They have a breakdown

1190
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:20,159
of like your usage um infrastructure
fund, emergency fund. I actually pulled

1191
01:34:19,199 --> 01:34:24,080
the bills that
>> it will show infrastructure fee. Yes.

1192
01:34:22,159 --> 01:34:27,280
» Okay. Is there like an emergency fund
that's going like so the $12 like six of

1193
01:34:26,719 --> 01:34:29,440
it
>> part of it is just a rate increase

1194
01:34:28,639 --> 01:34:32,560
that'll be in your
>> just a regular water rate

1195
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:36,880
» but then the the infrastructure fee will
show that we have set it up to show that

1196
01:34:34,719 --> 01:34:42,880
» so the current bill doesn't reflect the
previous like rate increase because we

1197
01:34:39,679 --> 01:34:46,199
had a rate increase prior for
>> that's just your

1198
01:34:47,199 --> 01:34:53,120
rate increase it wasn't to start
>> putting money into an improvement fund.

1199
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:56,239
» No, this one.
>> So, this is the second rate. I just

1200
01:34:54,719 --> 01:35:01,600
wanted to clarify. This is a second
water rate. It's not just an

1201
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:06,080
infrastructure fund in like the last I
want to say like less than 10 years. I

1202
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:07,679
think it's less than that because we had
one prior, right?

1203
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:12,480
» Yeah.
>> Okay. I just wanted to clarify that.

1204
01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:16,239
» Also, are we any closer to a completion
date for the sidewalks? I know I had

1205
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:19,440
asked you about that prior and you said
you were going to get back to me about

1206
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:22,400
» John told me that he should be done in
two weeks.

1207
01:35:20,239 --> 01:35:25,760
» Okay. So, we have two weeks for the bid
to

1208
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:28,480
» That's what he's No, we absolutely do
not. I'm sorry.

1209
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:29,520
» No, that's just I was just asking for
confirmation.

1210
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:35,040
» Yeah.
>> Um and then this one was for Chloe. If

1211
01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:40,320
it's if any of the boxes or the lids are
tampered with that goes straight to the

1212
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:45,760
resident or is there like a slight
investigation to figure out did somebody

1213
01:35:42,639 --> 01:35:49,840
forget to put a zip tie on? Did somebody
The only reason I say that is because

1214
01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:54,400
the last time my lid was pulled off, zip
ties weren't put back on it.

1215
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:57,679
» So, we have a checklist and like I've
been going around and checking and

1216
01:35:55,520 --> 01:36:03,920
making sure that there's bolts and a zip
tie. So, as soon as that's done,

1217
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:09,480
» and we have body cam,
>> but there will be checks

1218
01:36:06,480 --> 01:36:09,480
for

1219
01:36:09,961 --> 01:36:15,520
[clears throat]
>> Joe. Oh, I'm Julian. I just wanted to

1220
01:36:13,679 --> 01:36:20,719
thank Cecilia for knowing so much about
our electrical boxes and caps to move

1221
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:25,081
the meeting.
>> Maybe Chloe ever needs help.

1222
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:25,081
» She's the electrician. [laughter]

1223
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:33,199
» All right, Kaitlyn For.
[laughter]

1224
01:36:31,199 --> 01:36:36,639
» Well, I have like questions for a few
people. So, should I

1225
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:38,159
» You get to use your three minutes and
then

1226
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:40,480
» just bing bang boom.
>> Yeah.

1227
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:44,719
» I can't use your timer.
>> Am I good?

1228
01:36:41,679 --> 01:36:48,560
» You're good. All right. Uh, for Miss
Cooper, do you believe the village lease

1229
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:53,040
from a maintenance garage property is
valid? And would it be legal for the

1230
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:59,280
village to walk away from a valuable
asset like the lease where that is?

1231
01:36:55,840 --> 01:37:04,239
Moving on. Sam, same question. Do you
believe the lease that we have is valid?

1232
01:37:02,639 --> 01:37:07,440
Um, do you believe the fiscal officer is
up to date on her required trainings?

1233
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:12,159
And do you have any suspicion that the
fiscal officer has mismanaged or stolen

1234
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:16,719
any funds from the village for the
fiscal officer? Um, Councilwoman Cint's

1235
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:20,639
husband accused you of circumventing the
mayor regarding the second signature on

1236
01:37:18,480 --> 01:37:26,239
paychecks at the last meeting. Is there
a reason why Miss Beckwith signed those

1237
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:29,440
instead of Mayor Graves? For Chloe,
Samantha and Mark Brandt claimed that

1238
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:32,960
Mr. Brandt was the one that installed
the bolts on their grinder unit rather

1239
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:38,080
than the village. Do you believe that to
be true? Um, for Mrs. Cinte, can you

1240
01:37:36,480 --> 01:37:41,600
elaborate on your statement that abuse
fees are not handled in a consistent

1241
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:46,159
manner? Do you believe the village lease
for the main scratch property was valid?

1242
01:37:44,239 --> 01:37:50,320
Did you report to fire chief Sha Muter
that the village is in danger of losing

1243
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:54,320
the sidewalk grant? Um, as a member of
the safety committee, why did you

1244
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:58,239
abstain from voting for salt vents for
winter? Do you have an alternative

1245
01:37:55,760 --> 01:38:02,880
solution for getting salt for the roads?
Regarding the video you made and later

1246
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:06,400
posted on Facebook, why do you feel your
private conversation should be protected

1247
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:09,440
when residents shouldn't? Why are you
unwilling to post the remainder of the

1248
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:13,360
video showing a conversation you had
with Mayor Drees? Um, and you also told

1249
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:17,199
Donna that you didn't listen to it
before the posting and then reference

1250
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:21,119
something she had allegedly said. So,
did you knowingly post a video of a

1251
01:38:18,719 --> 01:38:24,159
private conversation? Why not? While
campaigning, you said our village

1252
01:38:22,639 --> 01:38:27,040
offices should be open and accessible
and mayor and council should welcome

1253
01:38:25,440 --> 01:38:30,320
your input, not treat residents as a
nuisance. and now claim that the

1254
01:38:28,639 --> 01:38:34,400
lawyering ordinance was not personal
personal. So which is it? Should

1255
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:37,600
residents feel welcome here or do you
think it's a waste of tax dollars to

1256
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:44,560
allow residents to visit the village
hall? And for Mrs. Ska, what suggestions

1257
01:38:42,239 --> 01:38:48,480
do you have for avoiding the water
increase? And as chair of the safety

1258
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:52,280
committee, what's your plan for salt for
the upcoming winter season?

1259
01:38:52,403 --> 01:38:56,960
[laughter]
>> You got a little tag left.

1260
01:38:54,639 --> 01:38:59,840
» We'll reclaim it maybe later.
We might need help.

1261
01:38:58,719 --> 01:39:03,520
» Yeah, that's why I asked if you wanted
me to do it like that.

1262
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:09,520
» Okay, I think you were the first.
>> And so, Mr. Mayor, I am going to

1263
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:17,960
respectfully decline to give a legal
opinion on a matter that may be part of

1264
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:17,960
litigation and a publication.

1265
01:39:18,639 --> 01:39:26,960
» I will take that.
>> Okay. My question is about him.

1266
01:39:24,639 --> 01:39:30,560
Have you seen her training certificates?
>> Oh, yes.

1267
01:39:29,199 --> 01:39:35,400
» Do you have any suspicion she's
mismanaged or stolen at any moment?

1268
01:39:32,159 --> 01:39:35,400
» Not at all.

1269
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:44,719
» Pam, you were
>> um I didn't circumvent the mayor. I had

1270
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:49,840
um Mrs. Beck with come in and sign
checks because the first week Mayor

1271
01:39:46,239 --> 01:39:55,040
Ranch did not show up at all. Um so we
went with one signature. Um the next

1272
01:39:52,719 --> 01:40:00,159
week I had her come in because he had
been avoiding me and I don't feel I did

1273
01:39:57,360 --> 01:40:04,960
anything wrong. Um so I did not reach
out to him.

1274
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:11,639
Um then he still continued to avoid me.
When he finally came in I told him that

1275
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:11,639
I already had Mrs. Beck sign

1276
01:40:12,480 --> 01:40:19,520
it.
administrator

1277
01:40:16,639 --> 01:40:23,840
» Aaron Smith went down lot last year and
installed both.

1278
01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:27,920
» Thank you.
>> Mrs.

1279
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:32,639
I'm under no obligation to answer any of
the questions that received during the

1280
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:37,760
count uh during the session and these
questions have been asked asked numerous

1281
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:42,480
times and it's getting old and I'm done
with it. But thank you for once again

1282
01:40:40,719 --> 01:40:46,199
repeating them.
>> But many are new.

1283
01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:56,520
» Motion to
>> I said I'm under no obligation to answer

1284
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,520
them.

1285
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:09,199
» It was about working.
>> He's probably got the

1286
01:41:08,644 --> 01:41:13,639
[laughter]
Is there any more questions? I believe

1287
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:21,560
» you

1288
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:25,400
second and I'm ready.

1289
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:38,480
» Trying really hard.

1290

Donna,
>> Donna.

1291
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:03,400
He's a Marine. He's serving in Japan
right now.

1292
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:16,440
» Are you recording

1293
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:23,440
that, you know? I help.
