Agenda items only, please, for three
[1:53]
minutes.
[1:57]
You guys are being nice for the evening.
Thank you. Uh, no presentations or
[2:02]
correspondence, supervisors report, um,
EDF solar project update. Um, just a
[2:07]
reminder that January 20th, 2026 at 9:00
a.m. is a second prehering. Our doors
[2:13]
will be open in the township hall. If
you want to watch that, we'll have it
[2:17]
airing. Um,
an executive board and general
[2:21]
membership for 911. I need to give you
guys a little bit of a report on that.
[2:28]
Sorry, kind of moving along. I just
wanted to give you guys a little bit on
[2:32]
that down there.
Um,
[2:41]
so this is down at the county. I just
wanted to let you guys know that they
[2:45]
had their dispatches in the month of
November that they had um up to date was
[2:51]
33,386
calls, 2441 fire incidences, 5,830
[2:57]
EMS incidences for a total of 30,995.
It goes on through incoming calls for
[3:05]
911 was 26,153
and 4,842.
[3:11]
Um, it goes into the type of calls as
well. So, I just want to give everyone a
[3:16]
heads up. Um, if you want to obtain the
report, just ask the number. I'll get
[3:19]
you a copy of it. Um, it looks like
there was 23,275
[3:23]
cellular calls alone. And some 911
hangups was 3,485.
[3:30]
Um, they did a whole report on how many
calls in Theford Township as well. I
[3:36]
know that's something that we were
looking at. um but they do have um the
[3:41]
graph broken down to let us know the
calls and the different calls that were
[3:44]
in separate township. So I think we need
to the board needs to just be aware of
[3:48]
that so we need to move forward. I know
we had talked about EMS in the past
[3:52]
trying to get them out here or station
one out here if needed. So that might be
[3:56]
something we want to look into. Um,
Jennese County Metro Alliance. If anyone
[4:01]
interested, I'm looking at appointing a
member by February 28th, 2026. If any of
[4:06]
my board members are interested, that
would be great. Um, I'm meeting with the
[4:11]
handbook attorney by the end of this
month. Um, he's implementing the sick
[4:16]
leave policy into our handbook as well
as a few other changes that the previous
[4:20]
board had looked at. So, that'll be in
your guys' ues. So, just be aware that
[4:25]
that's going to be coming soon. Um other
than that, oh I will share with you guys
[4:31]
um we did post the assessor position the
code enforcement on Indeed. We have had
[4:35]
an overwhelming response of applications
um some that will not qualify but few
[4:42]
that do. So I will shuffle through those
weed them out and then I was going to
[4:47]
look at possibly if Pat tax interrupted
maybe John Condan or Eric to move
[4:52]
forward with interviews on code
enforcement and then meet them down from
[4:55]
there. we can bring those interviews to
the board. Um, that would just be a
[4:59]
suggestion. I know you had helped though
a couple interviews in the past. Uh,
[5:04]
with that being said, we'll move to
treasur's report.
[5:08]
Okay. Further, uh, in the independent
bank for the tax account, we have $3061.
[5:15]
For Michigan class and the cemetery, we
have $104,237.73.
[5:23]
In the my class general, we have
a,563565.74.
[5:31]
In the sewer, we have $897,59729.
[5:37]
And I wanted to let the board know that
our CD at PNC is coming to mature on the
[5:44]
21st of March. So, I'd like to take that
out and that's and put that into the
[5:51]
cemetery my class to add to that. Um, in
our uh general fund, we have a,15,57458.
[6:02]
Um,
the tax account right now has 113,48325.
[6:12]
Oh, excuse me. you know, it has
485,89404.
[6:17]
Um, and just a reminder that if you
haven't paid your taxes, they are due by
[6:22]
the end of February.
>> Thank you, Chris. Stacy, do you have
[6:27]
anything you want to touch on?
>> All right. The clerk's office completed
[6:30]
40 burials in 2025. We just submitted
our early voting plans to the county.
[6:36]
Um, we're going tomorrow to get the bags
all certified at the county and anyone
[6:42]
who would like to be an election worker
is more than welcome to come in and put
[6:45]
in an application. They like to get
started early because that's all they
[6:49]
have to do down in voting at the county.
>> Thank
[6:53]
for a bill for approval.
[7:00]
Anybody that requires to make a motion
on the bill?
[7:03]
I'll make a motion to pay the bill.
Thank you, Chris.
[7:07]
Okay, thank you.
>> Is there any discussion regarding the
[7:12]
bill? I have a question uh
regarding on the pay of why are we
[7:20]
paying over time to embossion?
>> It depends.
[7:28]
» Understand? She's got she put in eight
holiday, one sick, and 8.58 hours of
[7:35]
overtime.
that you could probably get with Daisy
[7:40]
to get details on her time card. I
[clears throat] know they've been
[7:44]
prepping for elections
and we've had [clears throat] to take
[7:48]
water down to Eagle and Lancing.
>> Oh yeah, she did transport the water
[7:53]
down to Eagle and Lancing.
>> Eagle and Lancing.
[7:56]
» We have to send water tests down there
>> once a year. We make water tests every
[8:00]
month to the county. Plus, you have to
go to take it and it's $114
[8:07]
just to overnight at home.
>> Now, does that come out of the election
[8:10]
stuff if she's working elections? Uh,
election stuff.
[8:13]
» Yeah. So, I'm not quite sure. I haven't
monitored her hours. That would be the
[8:17]
clerk. [clears throat] We're not
starting to put time into the elections
[8:21]
like tomorrow the bags to be certified.
>> Okay.
[8:26]
Um the second quick question I've got is
there's other um municipalities that
[8:35]
what they do is like they'll take say
Vicki and Ambrosia and they'll make them
[8:40]
employees i.e. they're the office
office people and then
[8:46]
they make them how do they do that?
>> Pay them a dollar a year. pay them a
[8:52]
dollar a year as the deputy and then
they're full-time employee and then
[8:57]
everything that you know like cuz right
now listing them as deputy and then
[9:02]
paying them full-time hours you know
>> but it it puts stability and I think we
[9:07]
talked about that
>> we did talk about that in the past
[9:15]
» we're running the pay down we've got a
couple estimates like we only get $5,000
[9:21]
stipulation for the Honda. Plus, they
pay them $45,000 a year, which is more
[9:26]
than even we make.
So, we're asking the municipalities to
[9:32]
send us
back.
[9:37]
» Yeah. And how they do it. And it's a
good way to secure
[9:41]
um longevity too within the township
because when a new clerk or a new
[9:47]
treasurer may get elected in the future,
they kind of look at okay to who they
[9:52]
going to get to be their deputy for a
dollar a year. So they usually continue
[9:56]
with the same appointed deputy that's in
the position being paid, right,
[10:00]
» to do the duties. So um it does put
consistency in the township. So I'm not
[10:05]
opposed to looking into that further.
>> Yeah. I just think it makes more sense
[10:09]
to do it that way that um
everything that you know they say oh you
[10:15]
know you hear people say oh they're not
supposed to get that because deputies
[10:17]
well as employees they do get it
>> you know and um it just makes a lot more
[10:23]
sense to make them consider them
employees and then paying a stipen or
[10:28]
whatever they call that for
>> yeah in van it's $5,000 because there's
[10:32]
that
>> now to increase like the clerks pay for
[10:36]
elections
No, because once you increase it, it
[10:40]
stays,
>> right? Unless you put in writing that
[10:42]
you'll take the
>> right. You don't um
[10:46]
» speaking of elections.
What is I know it's probably shouldn't
[10:53]
be answering answer or asking that, but
what is the pay going to be for the
[10:57]
election worker?
>> You're bringing it to the next board
[11:00]
meeting.
>> Um the election
[11:01]
» I wait to see what the state's going to
pay. They paid $15 an hour last time.
[11:08]
wage now.
[11:11]
» It's over that. Yeah. 137.
>> Yeah. It's it's it's getting close to
[11:18]
it, but what they reimburse, we paid way
over what they reimbured at last
[11:23]
elections,
>> right?
[11:25]
» Okay.
>> Um any further questions on the dollars?
[11:29]
» Yeah.
>> Woodhill group.
[11:32]
» Yeah, I was going to comment on that.
So, um, that one frustrated me. I got
[11:36]
that bill, the girls put it on my desk.
I sent an email immediately out to
[11:41]
Carlen and had a phone conversation
about that bill. Um, without our
[11:45]
knowledge nor approval, which was
frustrating, and I had a conversation
[11:49]
with her regarding that, they moved
forward with charging us for a quarter 2
[11:53]
review, which has never been done nor
made aware of. Um,
[11:59]
actually, I'll kind of go through this.
um and things like recording the water
[12:04]
and sewer. They still assist with things
like that. Um and reviewing the bank
[12:08]
reconciliations, but there was some
issues in here and and that's the
[12:12]
reenter on the 918 payroll that I had
concerns with. And then recording the
[12:16]
ADP fees that ended up being a total of
800. They're saying they spent 4 hours
[12:20]
on that. They put in here a quarter 2
revenue and expense for the DOT at 2.75
[12:25]
hours charge $412.
Um they did set up the escro account. I
[12:30]
don't believe it took them 4 hours. We
had already to put the GL out in. That
[12:34]
was a concern of mine that I talked to
Carly about. Why did it take you guys
[12:36]
four hours to set up an escrow account?
Um, again, they charge us $800 on that.
[12:42]
Um, B minutes for quarter 2, which they
never even told us they were reviewing
[12:45]
another $150.
Um, they researched BOT minutes for
[12:50]
November. Don't know why. They never
asked us them. They went on our website.
[12:54]
They pulled minutes um and charged us
$500 to review those. Um, quarter two
[13:01]
budget amendments meet with Carlen. So,
this confused me because I bring the
[13:05]
budget amendments to the board. So, my
conversation with her regarding that was
[13:08]
that I've never even asked her to do the
budget amendments. So, now she wants to
[13:12]
charge me for budget amendments that
we've never asked her to assist us with.
[13:16]
Um, so I had a conversation with them. I
told them that currently it looks like
[13:22]
we're obviously moving forward going
over our budget with them. Um, we are up
[13:26]
to about $30,000 in spending after this
bill, about 35,000. I did not have them
[13:31]
budgeted for that. So, there'll be an
adjustment coming. Um, they've been
[13:35]
averaging around 2,000 to 2500 to assist
us with the bookkeeping and
[13:39]
double-checking things for um, the
audits
[13:42]
um, and keeping our books balanced. So I
told her anything over that she needs to
[13:48]
reach out to Stacy, me and Chris and
include us in all emails moving forward
[13:54]
with anything that's going to be done is
going to exceed. I also told him I want
[13:58]
to review the agreement that we have
established.
[14:08]
» That's the details of the invoice.
I just kind of reviewed it.
[14:15]
» I I feel like they were just kind of
trying to make some dollars, so that
[14:18]
frustrated me.
>> Um, one more question I have is I caught
[14:22]
this Steve Bennett Hall replacement
waiver of $75. Didn't we pay him
[14:29]
already?
>> We did, but Benny,
[14:33]
he had to replace the whole faucet when
you started working on it. Is that
[14:37]
right?
[14:41]
It was dripping and leaking. I think we
paid him already.
[14:45]
» No, we didn't pay him already. He He did
something else in there, but when they
[14:50]
put the sink in, then he can explain
what happened.
[14:55]
» They put the sink in or when I move the
sink out, it was still leaking. So, I
[14:59]
had to have some professional come out
and do that kind of work because I never
[15:03]
worked that kind of faucet before.
>> All right. cuz I was I was just
[15:08]
wondering about that because I know we
had the discussion about why the special
[15:12]
faucet had to get put in there instead
of just we're allowed to go get one.
[15:17]
» No, I searched a regular one.
>> Right. So, I thought we'd already paid
[15:21]
him for
the materials I believe. No, I think
[15:25]
initially we just paid for the actual
labor. Yeah. Okay.
[15:34]
» Any more discussion or questions?
Okay. With that being go with a roll
[15:39]
call vote, please.
>> Yes.
[15:43]
» Pat,
>> because of Woodhill Group, I have to say
[15:47]
no because I don't like the fact that
they just went ahead and did what they
[15:51]
wanted and now we got to pay them. We
didn't even authorize. So, for that
[15:57]
reason only, I got to say don't. And you
can just um you can approve all the
[16:02]
bills
>> everything
[16:05]
that you can do that.
>> What if you can just make that as your
[16:08]
comment?
[16:12]
» Yeah. So I mean if I got to do yes or no
it's going to be no because of what
[16:18]
» Chris. Yeah. I think overy.
>> Yes.
[16:24]
» Rachel.
>> Yes.
[16:28]
Did Eric go? Sorry.
>> Motion carried 41.
[16:33]
» Okay, we will move forward with uh I
don't have a senior center report. Of
[16:38]
course, this is a special meeting. Um so
I'm sure Shannon will follow up with us
[16:41]
in February whom I will request to be at
the meeting to give her report. Uh fire
[16:46]
authority, we have that tomorrow. I
believe John Pine will be back in town.
[16:50]
If not, we'll be there um to get the
report for that at the February meeting.
[16:55]
Um, Janice's library meeting is included
in your ties book. I can kind of review
[17:01]
a few things that happened over it. Um,
it just looks like they had their
[17:06]
approval of their bill. Um, unfinished
business was um the new appraal for
[17:13]
looks like a building. We'll be here in
January to discuss. Um, there's water
[17:18]
damage it looks like they're talking
about. And then our 43 elevator motion
[17:22]
was by Kathy in support for the elevator
repair. Um annual test for elevator like
[17:31]
it's coming up for the hydro test and
elevator service. Um so it doesn't look
[17:35]
like there's much
elevator which I guess has kind of been
[17:39]
an ongoing issue over there.
Um, and then planning Kevin if you want
[17:44]
to give us a little bit of insight
[17:50]
a little.
>> I gave everybody copies of this prior to
[17:55]
the meeting.
[18:03]
» Hey, we've been really busy since you
guys last met. Uh last week at our
[18:08]
planning meeting we had the uh election
for officers. I'm going to be your
[18:12]
chairman again for another year. Jason
McConnell will be the vice chair for
[18:17]
another year and Gary Tilson is going to
serve as our secretary.
[18:22]
» May I'm sorry. Did Jason Turno show at
that meeting?
[18:25]
» Yes. Yes. He indicated he could possibly
be moving out of the township. I ask him
[18:32]
to let us know when he has to change
when he's required to change his voter
[18:37]
registration that we would consider him
move, you know, moving out of the
[18:42]
township.
>> Okay.
[18:43]
» So, until that and he'll notify Stacy,
Stacy, he'll let us know.
[18:47]
» Okay, perfect.
>> So, um we did uh do a recommendation for
[18:53]
Quantum AG, Mr. Tyville, for his
marijuana processor. There is a issue
[19:00]
that we worked through with the uh water
and waste people from Jennese County.
[19:05]
They did they had an engineer that
contacted uh the township and it got
[19:11]
passed to planning also and we discussed
it. The engineer wanted a full
[19:15]
commercial uh hookup to his sewer line.
It's never been attached apparently to
[19:22]
the the residence that there was there
was never hooked up. It's been put in
[19:25]
and cabed forever.
Uh so he went to water and waste
[19:32]
services and got a letter from them. All
he has to put in is a household type
[19:39]
sewer connection. They wanted a
commercial uh with grease traps and all
[19:44]
kinds of other stuff and his operation
doesn't need that. So uh there is a
[19:48]
letter attached to the file that we had.
I don't know if it passed to you guys,
[19:54]
but that would be a requirement. uh to
continue and take care of getting that
[19:59]
hooked up. He may have elaborate on that
uh when you go to interview it further
[20:03]
in the in the meeting. Um Mr. Kimmer for
Super Live, he's doing a drone and uh
[20:11]
processor. We did approve that.
Recommend that. And that's the old fire
[20:16]
station building.
probably not might not show up on your
[20:20]
application, which is great because it's
been an abandoned building for two or
[20:25]
three years now. And uh we don't have an
issue with him because he also runs
[20:31]
another business in the township. He's
already had so he's expanding business
[20:36]
which is a good sign for us and for
them.
[20:39]
So just to touch on that and you can
that's what planning considered with it.
[20:45]
Um, the ordinance, zoning ordinance
number 78 project is going to start this
[20:50]
Thursday with the first two-hour meeting
with Caitlyn and the committee to start
[20:55]
working on uh upgrading ordinance number
78 with a target date to finish it by
[21:02]
September. And that all depends on how
fast we can move through it. But that's
[21:07]
our our goal is to have it done in
September. First meeting will be two
[21:12]
hours here and then we're going to try
to do uh
[21:17]
a visual, you know, type meetings if we
can so we don't tie everybody up. Um we
[21:25]
did do I did do the annual report for
the planning commission that's required
[21:28]
by the state of Michigan. However, we
just took care of that last Thursday
[21:32]
night, so there wasn't time to get it in
you guys' boxes. We'll get it next next
[21:35]
month.
I gave you some handouts on the MTA
[21:40]
class coming up. I've got everybody uh
from planning signed up to it. It's
[21:45]
their webinars
that they do from noon to 1. This one is
[21:49]
on zoning
and uh it's it's recommended they're
[21:53]
going to have another class on data
centers in February
[21:58]
for planning uh in zoning. So, this is
something I think it's imperative. It's
[22:04]
uh no charge to the township. It's on
the package that you guys provided uh
[22:09]
last every year that you buy the premium
package. So, it's all free. I did sign
[22:13]
up the planning people. Uh and I put
Ambi on it because she's doing our
[22:18]
planning stuff if she wants to sit in on
it. Uh I think it's valuable and and uh
[22:24]
any of you guys I gave you the
literature on it where if you want to
[22:26]
contact MTA and add your name to the
list,
[22:30]
» right?
>> There's no charge of course.
[22:35]
Jese County is doing their master plan
uh updating their master plan. They've
[22:41]
got a comment section at Clio Senior
Center on January 21st 1:30 to 3:00
[22:47]
where you can go in person and look it
over, leave comments. You can also go to
[22:52]
their website and leave comments. But,
uh I see in the draft plan that they
[22:58]
got, they did have pictures of our disc
golf course out here. So, he's taking
[23:03]
notice of that.
And last thing on my list is Solar Watch
[23:08]
party that we're planning for next
Tuesday 9:00 a.m. be the second
[23:12]
prehering with MPSC and the judge. And
we'll be here to open the doors for the
[23:19]
residents.
And I put that flyer in there too that
[23:23]
Amy had made up with the QR code. So if
you scan the QR code, it takes you right
[23:27]
to the MTSC site for the case. And on
the bottom of that page is the five
[23:33]
current uh applications that are going
through the MPSC. If you want to dial in
[23:38]
and follow those, there's lots of good
reading.
[23:42]
» Other than that, we've been really busy.
Uh trying to handle solder is just
[23:47]
taking a lot of time.
Any questions, Kevin? Which one? Which
[23:53]
uh facility was the one that you talked
about? The hookup.
[23:57]
» That's uh quantum. Okay.
They uh if you recall back when we were
[24:02]
around planning uh we let them have a
porta potty till they got their
[24:05]
buildings all set and they're just
finishing uh their processor building
[24:11]
and he was waiting to hook up to the the
sewer. The sewer's on his he said he's
[24:15]
only about 50 ft from the sewer and uh
but the engineer was not from the county
[24:20]
was not real happy but I believe he's
taking care of that with Mr. Wright and
[24:25]
the folks higher up the chain at the
county itself.
[24:28]
» Okay. So they they so for the processing
facility they wanted him to hook up to
[24:34]
um the sewer.
>> He wanted to hook up to the sewer
[24:37]
because where the building is there's a
septic system old septic system from the
[24:41]
house but he said it was uphill. He'd
have to put pumps in to utilize it. And
[24:46]
he said he's only 30 to 50 ft from where
this sewer line was put in. And when it
[24:52]
was put in apparently it was capped. The
lead was capped put in capped and then
[24:56]
never
>> never hooked up. It's just there
[24:59]
waiting.
>> Okay. Yeah. So, it's it's got a lead
[25:01]
coming off.
>> Yeah. That makes That's it's a little
[25:04]
more cheaper to sell.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I I don't anticipate that he
[25:08]
he didn't anticipate any problems
either, especially after he talked to
[25:11]
the county and explained what he had. I
tried talking to the engineer and she
[25:16]
was uh just real adamant that no we got
to have a commercial hookup for you know
[25:22]
50 people to use the bathroom and uh
restaurant grade material you know
[25:27]
everything the commercial would have and
he wouldn't explain to him just what his
[25:31]
operation is if he's here you can he can
explain it even further than just having
[25:37]
to hear say from me I just wanted to
touch on it let you know where we were
[25:42]
Let me get to other questions.
Thank you.
[25:47]
» Okay. Thank you, Kevin.
Um,
[25:55]
» they're trying to ask anybody with
breaks.
[26:02]
» I mean, I don't know if you would that.
Um, usually I don't I've been trying not
[26:06]
to waste the paper and put the packets
in every
[26:24]
» what I had asked and it was
the board meeting. But these packs are
[26:31]
available for any of us to look at in in
the facility or in in the township. So
[26:37]
if you guys want to come in early look
at them instead of leaving the paper
[26:40]
copy in everybody's boxes, as long as
the clerk has them available to us on
[26:44]
the day of the meeting or prior to in
our request, we can review the
[26:48]
applications from there and um approve
at the meeting because it's just a lot
[26:53]
of wasted paperwork to go into board
packets.
[27:03]
Um, so we'll move on to storage unit.
Um, I'm going to make a motion to
[27:09]
purchase a storage unit for the
township.
[27:13]
Um, not to exceed
twice on here of $1,686.99.
[27:24]
It's an office storage unit.
[27:29]
What support? Uh, [clears throat]
>> I got to get support and then we can go.
[27:33]
Thank you, Pat.
>> $1,686.99.
[27:39]
» Thank you.
>> Um, what I do want to note though, too,
[27:42]
is that we haven't upgraded any office
equipment in the five years now that
[27:48]
I've been supervisor. So, I do want to
make that note. So, um, this I would
[27:53]
like to see in the clerk's office. They
have multiple storage
[27:57]
or storage um file cabinets in there
that are old. They have that desk that
[28:02]
is and even the clerk's department like
to add another storage unit in there
[28:05]
eventually in the treasures department.
Um but this would be for whether we put
[28:10]
the garbage bags in there, whether they
put their files in there um to put the
[28:14]
postage machine. It's just a storage
unit that will coincide with the desk
[28:18]
that they currently have. So it's an
addition to their office uh furniture.
[28:23]
We're talking with a park by the
cabinet.
[28:26]
» Um, more than that. Death, covered face,
storage. Can you see that?
[28:30]
» Oh, yeah. Okay.
[28:35]
» Oh, okay. Nice.
>> Just to clean it up in there. We've been
[28:38]
doing a lot of upgrades. Denny's done a
great job painting and [gasps]
[28:43]
just kind of trying to modernize and
organize everything in there. So,
[28:47]
Gotcha.
>> Okay. Right.
[28:49]
» Yeah. I heard him talk about it.
[clears throat]
[28:53]
That's through. Can I ask why we're
going instead of like people or
[28:59]
» And we have an account with Quill.
That's where the death too were ordered.
[29:03]
I believe was through Quill. Um so it's
just kind of been previous of what we've
[29:08]
always done is from my knowledge. I
think the clerk ordered the desk about
[29:13]
10 8 years ago, seven years ago.
Previous clerk did. Um, so my non that's
[29:20]
where
we've ordered any office supplies,
[29:25]
furniture, etc. for the township. Is
that something that you're you want in
[29:29]
your office, Stacy?
[29:33]
» Want my house?
>> Yes.
[29:36]
» I don't think it's necessary. I have so
much office space in that back room
[29:42]
that we got to get that cleaned up and
things can be moved in there.
[29:49]
postage machine could actually go back
into your office or onto the desk and
[29:53]
Jesse's office which counties will be
pleasing. Well, yeah, the post I mean I
[29:58]
don't care how you guys do it. I was
looking at cleaning up. I had had a
[30:02]
discussion um with Andy about it.
There's just
[30:06]
got a lot of odd stuff going on in
there. So, I was trying to consolidate
[30:09]
it and make it look a little bit more
professional. We get time.
[30:15]
» Well, then we can move forward with a
roll call. There's no more discussion.
[30:20]
» Yeah.
[30:23]
» No.
>> Eric.
[30:29]
» Yeah.
>> Stacey.
[30:33]
» No.
Chris.
[30:36]
» No. Rachel.
>> Yes. Motion fail.
[30:43]
So, while we stay on that subject, uh
going while we're on the subject storage
[30:48]
[snorts] and stuff like that, um do we
need um ironing cabinets or anything
[30:56]
like that?
>> We get tons of food. My problem with all
[31:00]
of it is is half your drawers are
broken. They're going to pull the ones
[31:03]
in the back. They're not they're getting
old. Nothing in this office obviously.
[31:10]
Why? Our previous clerk ordered new
desks has been updated in who knows how
[31:15]
many years. I mean, it looks like the
treasur's office. Yes, her desk and
[31:19]
things seem to be up to par, but she
obviously needs more storage in there.
[31:23]
She's got an additional desk from 1950
in there that does not coincide. Same
[31:27]
with the treasur. This is my situ my
position on the clerk's department. Same
[31:31]
thing. You got a 1950s desk in there on
top of beautiful desks that were just
[31:35]
purchased recently in the past seven,
eight years. can stay on.
[31:39]
» I was just thinking slowly at a time.
>> We update
[31:45]
» maybe after she gets her
>> her stuff ordered or we can revisit it
[31:50]
after she gets figured out what she
wants to do.
[31:52]
» What is going on with the police
building? Can that be used as storage?
[31:56]
» So,
we'll we'll get into this, but the
[32:00]
police building currently right now has
all of the cupboards. back to get with
[32:03]
the senior center director. All of the
counters and cupboards that were pulled
[32:08]
on there are sitting in there. We had
that all cleaned out. April did an
[32:10]
amazing job and now it's full of crap
again. So,
[32:13]
» could we be can we be clear on what
we're talking about? We're talking about
[32:17]
that building over there or we talking
about the section
[32:20]
» that building. Okay.
>> The section in the main office then you
[32:23]
just remodeled it looks beautiful. The
board did approve flooring and stuff.
[32:26]
You did a great job. That is used mainly
for treasure storage. So anything that's
[32:31]
going to shredding after the so many
years that we have to hold on to it,
[32:34]
that's what that room is for. And then
any assessor files because there you
[32:37]
just can't destroy a lot of assessor
files. You have to keep them forever. So
[32:41]
that's storing our assessor files as
well as the clerk's rotation, the
[32:45]
treasurer's rotation, and then they go
out to shred.
[32:47]
» Okay.
>> Took us a minute to
[32:52]
» Are we Are we heating the back of the
portion of
[32:55]
» I don't think it's heated unless you
turn the heat on in the actual room.
[32:59]
» Okay. It has a heat just below the
window that you can turn on.
[33:03]
» Okay. Is that actually being used in an
office?
[33:06]
» Storage? It's in the office. We use it
for the clerk storage and the treasure
[33:10]
storage. There shelves back there and
then every seven years you have to
[33:14]
destroy I think four years you have to
destroy the files and then we call the
[33:17]
shredding company in to take those
files.
[33:20]
» The rotation room back there.
Um, okay. So, we'll move on to Shannon
[33:27]
Holton. I'll let the clerk elaborate.
Well, I guess um I need a motion first.
[33:34]
» I will make a motion that we do not
refund the deposit and Shannon is
[33:40]
helping I believe
because it was just for their support
[33:45]
for what's the reason?
>> Well, you can look at all the pictures
[33:49]
there. It was even worse. And she was in
today and I asked her if she'd like to
[33:54]
see the picture.
She walked out.
[33:59]
» They didn't laugh before they
basically just take the garbage out.
[34:04]
[clears throat] Didn't do any of it. I I
hate taking their money away, but
[34:19]
it was spread all over even the kitchen
floor everywhere.
[34:24]
» They are required in that
take out the trash. Take out the trash.
[34:31]
Yeah. Yeah. Sweep it. Pop it. Thank you.
Try to file.
[34:36]
» Okay. If there's no discussion, we'll go
with a roll call on that, please.
[34:42]
» Eric,
[34:45]
» could you please read the motion?
>> Motion was to not refund the deposit.
[34:54]
» Yes.
[34:58]
» So, that would be yes if she's not
getting it back.
[35:02]
Think about motion.
[35:08]
» Yes.
>> Stacey. Yes.
[35:10]
» Rachel.
>> Yes. Motion carried 5.
[35:15]
» Uh BNA payroll. Do you want to make a
motion?
[35:18]
» Yeah. I took a look at that again. Let's
do it.
[35:22]
» I'd like to make a motion that we table
this one. I'll support.
[35:26]
» Okay. I'm I'm going to get further
information on this and see if we can
[35:30]
get the price we could have got when we
got all the rest of the BSNA cuz this is
[35:34]
a little pricey.

Let's make a motion.
>> I'm going to make a motion to accept the

estimated price
um of postage not to exceed $2,500
[36:21]
for the first clarify that
section.
[36:31]
» Who who which department is paying that?
Is that coming out of their line item?
[36:37]
assess it. What budget?
>> Yeah, we budget in the um assessor's
[36:42]
department for post
comes out of the township, but I believe
[36:47]
we've been budgeting and these are the
same people we use like when you send
[36:51]
out your tax stuff.
>> Yeah,

[39:40]
site family view and special land use
with the Um
[39:47]
recommendations of the sewer hookup from
the Genese County.
[39:57]
» Yes. Wait for us.
>> Thank you.
[40:06]
» Just out of cur I had a couple questions
for you. So that uh so you're going to
[40:12]
expand you have a little a small little
processing facility.
[40:15]
» So yeah, basically adding processing to
just help us sell our summer crop a
[40:19]
little bit slower. And uh the bathroom
actually just has nothing to do with any
[40:23]
of it. We're just putting it in because
it's part of our requirement as the grow
[40:26]
um for meeting with you guys. When we
initially uh linked up with them and and
[40:31]
asked about it um they just assumed we
were you know a regular processor and
[40:35]
grow. So once we kind of spoke with the
supervisor and they went over what we
[40:40]
do, um they realized we're just it's
just the bathroom and the sink,
[40:43]
» right?
>> So [clears throat] they put us at
[40:45]
private use, which is like the lowest
amount each year. I think it's like 250
[40:49]
bucks.
>> So that way we don't need a chemical
[40:52]
trap or anything crazy at the
>> Yeah. It's not a lot of industrial use.
[40:58]
» No, actually we don't even have We reuse
all of our water. It's all spring water.
[41:02]
We don't do chemicals. So
>> sounds good. How's everything going over
[41:05]
there? It's going pretty good. We're a
little, you know, anxious about the tax
[41:09]
that's coming, but um, you know, other
than that, things are going okay.
[41:12]
» How did that fence uh situation where it
got? I know. You guys were fixing the
[41:16]
fence there, uh, too.
>> So, we we've reemented it. We kind of
[41:21]
just go through on a regular regiment
every year and we fix whatever, you
[41:25]
know, it's leaning because the the
windres havoc um especially with, you
[41:29]
know, the last couple of storms that
have come through. So, you know, every
[41:33]
every spring, every fall, right after
our inspection through the BFS, we just
[41:37]
kind of go through, reement, fix, pull,
whatever we need to. Okay. So, yeah.
[41:41]
Thank you very much.
[41:46]
» Um, all in favor of the approval.
>> I got ahead. So this is a new
[41:53]
» brand new
>> brand new or permit or are we just
[41:57]
trying to
>> they just require separate licensing for
[42:01]
each step. So we're essentially we have
to put up a wall but we just all we're
[42:06]
doing is we call water trimming. We're
literally just putting our harvest into
[42:10]
ice water and that allows us to harvest
the heads and save them in freezer.
[42:14]
» Right. So,
>> no. But what I'm wondering is are we
[42:19]
» approving a separate land use permit or
we approving
[42:23]
» So, they for them to expand their
business.
[42:26]
» No, they currently they currently have a
license, don't you? As a grower,
[42:32]
» correct?
>> So, they currently have that and now
[42:35]
they have to obtain an additional
license to be a processor. So, they go
[42:39]
through the state of Michigan. It's one
of the licenses for marijuana that they
[42:42]
have to obtain through the state of
Michigan. So now we're approving for
[42:45]
them to have another license on top of
their grow license. They'll now also get
[42:49]
a processor license. So it requires a
site.
[42:52]
» Do you have the states license already?
It it has to go to here and then the BFS
[42:57]
will come and do their final. So usually
what happens is shortly after this the
[43:01]
BFS will come out. They'll do their
final walkthrough. I think they have
[43:04]
till the 16th. There's usually like a
set set timeline. I think here though it
[43:09]
was the 13th and we had it extended
because of the uh last board of trustees
[43:13]
meeting got moved.
>> Okay. Well, see what are you going to
[43:16]
have to come back again or
>> No, no, no. This is it.
[43:19]
» This is it.
>> Yeah.
[43:20]
» So, we say yes, you go to the state.
State says yes.
[43:23]
» We're all done with everything except
for the BFS. Um that typically comes
[43:27]
after this. It can go before, but it it
typically comes right after this. I at
[43:31]
least it has for us in the past.
>> Okay.
[43:36]
» Okay. That makes Okay, that makes more
sense because
[43:39]
» we wish it was quicker.
>> So like we're we're approving it just to
[43:44]
have it come right back.
>> No, we have to approve it for approval
[43:48]
to
>> Okay.
[43:51]
» Um all in favor of uh the motion for
quantum say I.
[43:56]
» I. All oppose say nay. Motion carried by
Jira.
[44:02]
Hey, super
[44:07]
are they here?
They are not present this evening. Okay.
[44:12]
Uh superlative cana motion.
Sorry, go ahead.
[44:17]
» Okay. Motion to approve a grower class
recreational for 9148 North Dort
[44:22]
Highway, Mount Morris, the Michigan
48458 site plan and special land use.
[44:30]
» Do they exist already or are they
starting up? Is this a
[44:33]
» two brand new from my understanding?
It's two brand new licenses going into a
[44:39]
building that was already previously
licensed, but then the owner let his
[44:44]
license slaps and and sold the building.
>> So these aren't part of the old people
[44:50]
or the old owner that is there or
anything like that? No, not
[44:56]
» either. Is that the old fire station? Is
that where that's what
[45:00]
» the old furniture? Do we have to go over
and infect anything or is that just
[45:05]
» No, the state does all that. We just
approve them to be a grower in our
[45:09]
zoning because their zoning allows it in
that area. So, we approve them to carry
[45:14]
the license in our township and then
once we approve them, the state, as he
[45:18]
was saying, will come in and they'll do
an inspection to make sure they got
[45:22]
their cameras, they got everything
within state law. um our planning
[45:25]
commission who it went to with Kevin is
probably when super canon came and they
[45:30]
explain their site plan or ask any
questions with our planning. So we
[45:33]
appoint them to take care of that part
of it. We double check everything to
[45:36]
make sure it's to our four standards and
then we move forward with with approval.
[45:40]
» Now since cuz Kim they already exist
there is it a little bit different
[45:44]
process and I'm only asking because I'm
ignorant on the whole thing.
[45:47]
» No, you're not. You're fine. Ask
questions. Um, so is it a little bit
[45:50]
different process for them because
they're brand new than it is for Ken who
[45:53]
already exists?
>> So we Yes. So whenever any of them are
[45:57]
applying for a brand new license,
automatically they're going to the
[46:02]
planning commission. So anybody that
goes to the planning commission is
[46:05]
normally coming to us with a brand new
license approval. If they are coming on
[46:10]
a renewal because we've already approved
them, they don't have to go back to
[46:14]
planning. They just come straight to us
on the renewal process.
[46:17]
» Okay. Okay. So, they already went
through Kevin.
[46:19]
» Yes. They've already went to our last
planning meeting and now this is two
[46:22]
brand new licenses that come to us for
our approval. So, planning board already
[46:26]
approved them and now it's up to us to
approve them.
[46:28]
» Okay,
that makes sense.
[46:31]
» Any more discussion?
Okay, with that being said, um all in
[46:37]
favor of Sudter Live Cana Grower Classy
Recreational say I.
[46:43]
» I.
>> I.
[46:46]
All oppose say nay. Motion carried 5. Go
ahead.
[46:50]
» Since there's two applications, is there
a number that we have to uh
[46:56]
apply only just on?
>> No, they are allowed to staff, but we're
[47:02]
not even these are two separate. So,
it's not like he's asking for two grower
[47:06]
class C's. He's just asking for a grower
class B. So, each application that is
[47:11]
why I required them to fill out an
individual application. So if he was
[47:15]
going to ask for two grower class C's,
I'd expect two grower class B
[47:19]
applications completed. So because
they're assigned different license
[47:21]
number,
>> so they get the number one the state
[47:23]
gives them the further.
>> Yes. Okay.
[47:25]
» And we have the correct license number
cuz it could come up for renewal and
[47:29]
they let it go back. So we need to know
to take that application and get rid of
[47:33]
it because we're not going to take them
up for renewal or we deny them. You
[47:36]
just, you know, you never know. [gasps]
Uh motion to approve Super Lab Cano 9148
[47:42]
North Dort Highway, Mount North,
Michigan 48458 processor, their site
[47:46]
plant, and their special land use.
>> Thank you. Any discussion on the
[47:53]
processor license?
All in favor of the approvals processor
[47:58]
for super late Cana say I.
>> I all oppose say nay.
[48:03]
» Motion carried 5.
Okay, we'll move forward to lower
[48:08]
cemetery
um map update.
[48:13]
Um I am going to
[48:19]
make the motion to approve uh $6,000 for
road engineering to update the cemetery
[48:26]
map to come out of the 2627
township budget. I'll second that.
[48:39]
Now, this one I got questions because I
am really lost on this.
[48:42]
» Okay, we were too. You want to start
with your questions?
[48:46]
» Um, didn't we just do a map?
>> We did. And what they found out was part
[48:52]
of the top part of the cemetery was
sitting on like D.
[48:57]
That's how it was done.
and they have to like fly drones over
[49:02]
and put the markers in because they
didn't put the markers in when they
[49:05]
reset those new sections. They were told
not to. So,
[49:12]
we are just in a pickle on a few rolls
there.
[49:16]
» How far are we?
>> It's like one or two rows that's, you
[49:23]
know, overlapping. Yeah.
>> And what when we get the new map, how do
[49:27]
we resolve this? Well, after they do
this, they will resolve it and the whole
[49:32]
map will fit together. It will be done
with all our sections. That's I mean, we
[49:38]
were confused, too.
[49:42]
» What you got?
That's good questions.
[49:48]
» Any other questions?
[49:53]
» I I made a motion. I think safety
accepted that. Am I right, Lroia?
[49:57]
» Thank you. You're welcome. There's no
more discussion. Uh we need a roll call
[50:02]
vote on that. We're spending money,
please.
[50:05]
» 2627.
>> Yeah, it's 2627. So that'll be the new
[50:09]
budget.
>> How much was that? 6,000.
[50:12]
» Yes.
>> And the cemetery has the money.
[50:15]
» It was 26.
>> Mhm.
[50:17]
» Okay.
>> Everybody's dying to pay us.
[50:22]
» It's literally Yeah. No.
>> Eric,
[50:26]
» yes.
>> Pat,
[50:28]
» yes.
>> Chris,
[50:31]
» yes. Stacy,
>> yes.
[50:33]
» Rachel,
>> yes. Motion carried 5 Z.
[50:39]
» Now to the budget amendments. So
included is an amendment for the general
[50:43]
appropriations act resolution. Um that
is pertaining to the building. So, we're
[50:49]
taking the building fund out of the
general fund and making it its own fund
[50:55]
like the sewer is and the tax fund or
separate funds.
[50:59]
» Um,
>> is that the first one?
[51:03]
» We can do the resolution first. Yeah, it
doesn't matter.
[51:08]
So, the resolution is just moving 26,
550
[51:15]
out and adjusting it to the zing fund.
So I will make a motion to we'll make a
[51:22]
resolution number
today the 12
[51:29]
one two
26
[51:34]
» uh that's the one I'm thinking of
>> 126
[51:40]
» one2-26
[51:44]
Sure.
[51:48]
» So, I'll start off uh with a motion to
accept
[51:54]
the Amendo General Appropriation Act
resolution
[51:59]
uh one-d
[clears throat]
[52:05]
» Oh, okay.
With the uh change of township, Mr.
[52:13]
was wrong.
Oh yeah, she didn't do that. This was
[52:18]
prepped by our group.
I figured if they charged us for might
[52:22]
as well bring it to the board.
>> Yes, it's up there.
[52:26]
» And the change of the date to
>> right and the date of this meeting
[52:33]
April 1st, 2025
>> to the current date.
[52:38]
No, our budget was approved on March
19th of 2025 last year. Down here at the
[52:44]
bottom, past the board of trustees
meeting.
[52:47]
That is the date that needs to be
changed to date.
[52:55]
» Yes, that date needs to be changed to
today's date.
[53:01]
» I'll second that. Okay.
>> All in favor of accepting the resolution
[53:09]
1-12-26
with the changes of the date and
[53:14]
township clerks
say I.
[53:18]
» I.
>> All oppose say nay. Motion carried 50.
[53:24]
And then I will do a separate motion to
um accept the budget amendments
[53:29]
presented to the board on the agenda.
There's three of them.
[53:36]
» I'll second it.
>> Thank you. Is there any discussion on
[53:40]
the amendments?
>> Yep.
[53:41]
» Go ahead.
>> Uh if you look at the number two for
[53:45]
10,000
>> Mhm.
[53:48]
» you got it coming out of the same line
number that it's going into.
[53:53]
» Oh, I've been tired when I typed these
up.
[53:57]
» We'll just take that one off of there.
So, I'm in my budget to accept them. um
[54:04]
to accept the two budget amendments
presented.
[54:09]
I don't know who supported it. Pat, do
you want to support my amendment?
[54:12]
» Yeah, I'll support the amendment.

[54:16]
discussion?
>> No.
[54:18]
» Okay. With that being said, uh all in
favor accept amendments say I.
[54:25]

Okay, and that wraps us up for this
[54:33]
evening. We'll move on to brief public
comments, please, for three minutes.
[54:38]
Sorry.
[clears throat]
[54:43]
» Me, but I hope too.
>> What' you say about you? Just wait.
[54:52]
» I can't hear you.
[54:59]
Um
the Woodhill group, I have to say we you
[55:04]
really have to get them under control.
This is uh ridiculous. They have milked
[55:10]
this township for 5 years now over and
over and over. Uh they know what we
[55:17]
have. They're going to keep going until
there's nothing there. Especially if
[55:22]
they're not even communicating anything.
They're just dipping their fingers into
[55:25]
our checkbooks. That's taxpayer money.
That's not their money. And it's not
[55:30]
it's not each one of it is actually each
one of you money and it's also ours out
[55:34]
here.
We need to be uh very mindful of that.
[55:40]
Um
[55:43]
pretty much that's
in details matter. Sorry, I'm sitting
[55:48]
out here picking out the date
um on some of that stuff. I'd also like
[55:53]
to thank um Stacy Ambro for working with
me my test
[56:00]
and uh
we ordered good weather but it in the
[56:05]
end it didn't end that way. So
if you could work on that getting a hold
[56:09]
of the weather people that'd be great
that much pull up there too. Thank you.
[56:16]
» Thank you J.
Any other comments?
[56:25]
Just a question. You didn't mention any
place. Are we going to hold another town
[56:28]
hall meeting regarding solar in the
anticipated date?
[56:33]
» I would like to, but it's not going to
happen before our Tuesday
[56:37]
» before the hearing, right?
>> Possibly after.
[56:40]
» Yes. So, if we're going to do it, I'd
rather do it after and then we can catch
[56:44]
everybody up on a discussion of the
prehering who didn't wasn't able to
[56:48]
attend, I think. and then um be able to
get some information out in a day in
[56:52]
flyers. Um so yeah, I definitely and
Alice, I would like to do a budget
[56:57]
workshop right before or after to get a
lot of people involved. [laughter]
[57:02]
So yes, I do see one in our future.
[57:16]
just
[57:20]
I uh just wanted to add on a little more
information to the 911 uh that uh
[57:26]
[clears throat]
[57:29]
» supervisor
[57:33]
» and his
uh the uh uh those numbers that you read
[57:38]
off are really quite daunting. They deal
with a lot of phone calls uh throughout
[57:43]
the every day and those add up. But uh
amazingly
[57:48]
a lot of those phone calls not 911. Uh
it's just people calling for frivolous
[57:55]
type things. Sometimes it's just
somebody that's uh lonely. They want to
[58:01]
talk to somebody but and then sometimes
just people don't get the time.
[58:07]
[clears throat]
all of which ties up the system uh and
[58:12]
it's affecting the 911
responses. So what they what you should
[58:18]
be aware of and what the public should
be aware of they are instituting the AI
[58:23]
system soon. Uh and how that will work
is is that when you've called in, you
[58:29]
will get a operator. uh unlike a lot of
uh AI systems, you'll get the operator
[58:38]
and then they will immediately make a
decision whether it is truly a 911
[58:43]
system or it's one of those other things
and then they'll shed you over to AI to
[58:50]
handle giving out the time
and talk to you forever. Um, so to help
[58:58]
utilize the system better because
unfortunately a lot of people don't know
[59:03]
what 911 is really for and
uh they are changing how they for lack
[59:10]
of better word triage things when you
make phone calls and they have changed
[59:17]
how they uh respond. And one of the
other problems that and a lot of people
[59:23]
notice it is that
when a call comes in, you get a response
[59:29]
from every police department and every
fire department and uh every ambulance
[59:34]
service around and they're all at one
spot. So they're working on ways to
[59:41]
contain that so that it isn't an allout
effort by every municipality to or every
[59:49]
branch of the 911 services to show up at
the same time.
[59:56]
911 has been a problem for some time in
this uh county and working at it and
[1:00:03]
spending [clears throat] quite a bit of
money but everything costs money as you
[1:00:06]
guys know. So I just wanted to add that
to her report on math. Thanks.
[1:00:11]
» Thank you, Marty.
Any other comments?
[1:00:15]
» Any board members? Eric,
[1:00:20]
» I just like to thank everyone for coming
out
[1:00:24]
and uh yeah,
Benny uh good job on the uh the
[1:00:29]
maintenance of the township.
I uh brought it to work. So thank you.
[1:00:35]
and uh everyone for coming out and uh
being patient with us. Thank you.
[1:00:40]
» Thank you.
[1:00:44]
Um, just want to say thank you to
everybody coming out and
[1:00:49]
the I think marijuana people left
already, but
[1:00:55]
I would like to propose that we
the renewals can just be approved by
[1:01:03]
instead of having to come for the board
if they meet criteria,
[1:01:07]
the clerk or whoever our marijuana
coordinator is, just go ahead and
[1:01:11]
approve approve it and then that the
board only has to deal with brand new
[1:01:15]
ones and I think that streamlines a lot
of things and takes a lot of stuff off
[1:01:20]
of the agenda.
>> Definitely does. We just have to revise
[1:01:24]
the ordinance an amendment so we were
paying a hold on that because I know
[1:01:28]
there was outdoor grow concerns to try
to bring it all at once but we can bring
[1:01:31]
it for amendment.
>> Yeah. Um, well, Kevin asked about the
[1:01:35]
that's getting amended for the outdoor
grows and uh, well, you're listening in.
[1:01:40]
I think that's something that really
needs to get done soon. Uh, because it's
[1:01:44]
coming and uh, I'm not a I'm not a big
fan of the outdoor grill, but I'd rather
[1:01:51]
have outdoor grill. And so,
you know, got to pick a lesser of two
[1:01:56]
evils. Um, maybe one or the other.
>> Yeah. sit back and stop when I watch
[1:02:03]
that. Um, other than that, thank you for
coming. Uh,
[1:02:10]
Eddie, good job on the kitchen. It, uh,
looks nice and, uh,
[1:02:17]
we really need to get the floor here
polished.
[1:02:20]
» Yeah. Um, so John is he does for he has
already been to Menards from my
[1:02:26]
understanding to get the chemicals and
stuff to do it. So, he should be
[1:02:30]
tackling the shop in the next month.
hopefully by the next board meeting.
[1:02:34]
» Okay. Well, thank you everybody for
coming and short meeting. So,
[1:02:40]
good one.
>> Yeah. I just want to thank everybody for
[1:02:44]
coming. Julie, I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your lo.
[1:02:55]
Yeah. Thank you everybody for coming. Um
and I'll pay you back off Chris. Um, if
[1:03:00]
you guys don't know Julie, she served
our township last term as our trustee.
[1:03:04]
Um, from my understanding, her parents
were very respected within the
[1:03:08]
community. Um, and her um, lost their
father recently. So, um, please put your
[1:03:13]
prayers up for both of them and their
family. Um, also I appreciate you guys
[1:03:18]
coming out this evening. Sorry about us
having to cancel the regular schedule
[1:03:22]
board meeting. Um, we do have to look
forward to um, workshops. So, I'll get a
[1:03:26]
budget um presented to the to the board.
I'll have those dates at the February
[1:03:32]
meeting. Um we do want to get a town
hall squeezed in there so we can keep
[1:03:36]
everybody going on the solar project and
and be able to voice their concerns. Um
[1:03:41]
so, we do have a few things that we're
working on and um we look forward to the
[1:03:44]
zoning ordinance. So, it'll be another
busy year and hopefully after 2026 we
[1:03:51]
can take a little bit of a breath. So,
um, I'm going to go ahead and let Stacy
[1:03:56]
speak last.
[laughter]
[1:03:58]
» Thank you. I would like to thank
everyone for coming and Julie and Pat,
[1:04:03]

just come in this week and we'll get the
[1:04:07]
