[30:55] work. So it's just a follow on to the appropriation they've already made.

[32:07] » Hi. >> Mr. Conrad.

[32:08] » Hi. >> Thank you. Next reports I just want to

[32:13] report today we had a tax hearing uh at the auditor's office.

[32:20] So we met they they go after the over the tax budgets and they went over

[32:24] basically seeing what we have as far as surplus to see if basically if uh you

[32:30] know we'd have to adjust it so forth. So, we have a pretty good surplus that

[32:35] we've accumulated over the last five years, obviously. And this is and I told

[32:39] them that we've had some major uh issues with our storm sewers with flooding and

[32:43] so forth. We had a storm studies done and we're going to need basically

[32:47] complete system and $14 million. And uh you know, when they asked for the

[32:52] reserve, first of all, I told them, well, you know, it's over half a million

[32:55] we built of the which was substantial less. Well, actually a lot

[33:00] more than that. But either way, when they saw the number, then they says,

[33:03] "Well," and I says, "Well, look, we've done that. We started at zero." And he

[33:08] because he goes, "Where are you going to get those $14 million?"

[33:12] I said, "Well, God, all things are possible." He goes, "The same way with

[33:16] property taxes." So,

[33:19] » and he said, "Yes." >> Of course. I said, "Of course." So,

[33:22] anyway, uh, you know, I told him, you know, basically, we've been saving up a

[33:26] lot because we need matching funds for grants. And I say it's not just our

[33:29] sewer system, storm sewer. We need sanitary sewers. Our manholes. We need

[33:33] flushing maintenance on that also done. Connection repairs. I know that's coming

[33:38] up next. Uh and uh manholes like I said. And then also water manes. Uh that's

[33:44] another going to be another project we have to do on because you know we have

[33:47] many many water main breaks. I think this past month we had two or even

[33:50] three. Um so and we got spots everywhere. You know we we need them

[33:55] upgraded. I mean the water is It's not good here. Like I said, it's it's got a

[33:59] lot of debris in it. Uh I get it at the end at my house. I see it all. So again,

[34:05] it's all in there. But um yeah, other than that, it went real well. I mean,

[34:10] they basically didn't have anything much to say. Uh they looked at all the

[34:13] balance sheets and everything and everything looked good and uh and

[34:17] obviously I said, "Well, of course, we've got one of the best fiscal

[34:21] officers in Lake County." So I says, "And by the way, he's doingvious

[34:25] obviously does Lake and also >> Lake Line.

[34:28] » Lake Line. So, I mean, not Lake like

[34:30] Lake like Lake like Lake like Lake like

[34:30] Lake like Lake like Lake like Lake like Lake like Lake and

[34:32] » Perry Village. Yeah. So, yeah. And uh like I said, it won't work well. So,

[34:39] » is that the new uh tax budget hearing that was based off of the state house as

[34:44] one of the five >> property tax reforms? They have it every

[34:49] year, but this year they >> the authority to

[34:52] » this year they asked people to show up and past years they basically just had a

[34:57] 10-minute hearing and assumed nobody would show up and they didn't ask for

[35:00] anybody to come. >> But now they have the authority to dial

[35:03] down your inside millage if they find that they have reserves beyond what is

[35:07] reasonable. >> I I think they had some authority

[35:10] before. It's just that the legislation kind of clarified it.

[35:16] We get to stay whole. No more money getting taken from us,

[35:21] mayor, like the local government fund. >> No. Well, I mentioned that also about

[35:25] the local government fund. Of course, I had to.

[35:28] » And and uh and how basically, yeah, we were He says, "Well, you got more

[35:33] money." I says, "No, we're stuck at the same amount for the next 10 years." I

[35:38] says, "And we should be getting a lot more than we're getting anyway now." I

[35:41] says, "But either way," I said, "We won't go there." But yeah, that was

[35:44] another thing that I did bring up. But uh about the plant next door, that's

[35:50] uh basically what they're going to do is the East Lake Power Plant. I'll give you

[35:54] guys they're going to have a ribbon cutting ceremony in grand opening. What

[35:57] they're going to be doing there is uh celebrating the launch of their first

[36:03] demonstrative facility transforming Ohio's coal ash into lower cost building

[36:10] materials, critical minerals, and new jobs. So it's on Wednesday, September

[36:16] 9th. Uh we are invited u to the uh open house there, the ribbon cutting ceremony

[36:21] there. Uh on September 9th, >> 2 to 4 in the afternoon. What it'll do

[36:26] is reclamation of ash and to make them into cement

[36:29] » cementageous materials and also critical minerals which are let me see where's

[36:35] the other uh basically with here on September 9th America's first coal

[36:41] refinery comes to life at the former East Lake Power Plant on Lake County

[36:46] shoreline Jupiter is demonstration as a demonstration facility the prov the

[36:51] proving ground for process that turns coal ash into products the country

[36:57] needs. Minerals for semiconductors and national security. A cement ingredient

[37:03] that lowers the cost of building and a fertilizer co-product for Ohio farms.

[37:09] Juniper was made possible by combining Phoenix Materials technical expertise

[37:14] with IDA's decades of coal ash expertise. This project was supposed to

[37:18] was supported by the Ohio Department of Development, US Department of Energy,

[37:24] and private investors with no local tax dollars involved. Over the next year,

[37:29] Jupiter will gather the data needed to turn a promising process into a national

[37:34] industry.

[37:38] » This is the first place they're doing it right here. Yes.

[37:41] » So, I heard that they are not going to tear the towers down. that there's

[37:46] they're not going to use them for, you know, uh putting out smoke or whatever

[37:53] because that's not what they're going to do anymore. But I heard that the towers

[37:58] have asbestous in them and they felt that it was going to cause too much

[38:03] environmental disruption if they were to tear them down. Um

[38:08] » that's that's you haven't heard anything.

[38:10] » I didn't hear anything on that, but I didn't hear that they were going to come

[38:12] down. So I don't believe you know and no indication they're going to usually what

[38:17] I heard was they're going to leave the towers and also part of the building

[38:20] there because that's where they have power coming in there they regulate it

[38:24] but uh they're just taking down now they are taking all the metal parts out the

[38:28] conveyors and all the other beams and stuff. That's what you hear all the

[38:32] noise. Basically, it's all those beams are just actually have an excavator and

[38:35] they're pulling out metal and just collapsing it and they have torches in

[38:39] there with guys burning it and pulling it and it's all just falling right down.

[38:43] So, taking basically dismantling it piece by piece.

[38:46] » Huge, huge plant. >> Yes.

[38:48] » I'll make sure you'll make sure the council gets this, right? Final email.

[38:51] » Yeah, I'll send you guys out the show that

[38:54] » Johnny's for you to put in the times, too.

[38:56] » Yeah, we can put it in the times, too. And coal ash is the same thing they used

[38:59] to burn at the plant. So that's produce the electricity and now they're just

[39:03] » they used to call it fly ash but >> different. Yeah, it's coash, but yeah,

[39:07] it's >> does have have its health and

[39:10] environmental concerns, but we'll expect our neighbors to be on the up and up in

[39:14] that, but >> well, they want to call it coach because

[39:17] so we know where it comes from coal instead of from flash and go where's it

[39:20] come from? You know, >> been collected over the years that they

[39:25] were operating and they they've never >> This is the byproduct. Would they they

[39:29] burn the coal? This is the flash is what the byproduct is using that

[39:34] » this left over from when they were a coal burning plant or is this this stuff

[39:38] that >> this is all this is all and these are at

[39:41] all the coal plants throughout Ohio. >> Okay.

[39:44] » So, what they're going to do is >> this is the pilot.

[39:46] » This is the pilot. What they're going to do is they're going to take this and

[39:49] then move it from plant to plant and go >> process move.

[39:53] » Well, they're Yeah, the process. They're going to process where the material is.

[39:56] They're not going to ship material in. >> Okay.

[39:58] » So, they're going to use whatever materials existing on, you know, in that

[40:02] area, reclaim that material, process it, and then move on to when they get done

[40:07] with that plant, move on to the next. >> This will be a year and a half. That's

[40:10] what the we got. That'll be a year and a half.

[40:12] » Okay. And then and then that will shut down again. And then they're going to do

[40:17] other development. I guess it's going to be maybe some kind of a housing.

[40:20] » That was the hint that they >> open up the hint is maybe some type of

[40:24] housing and also >> after the year and a half

[40:26] » open up the beach and the pier for the public.

[40:29] » Okay. >> For East Lake. That's that'd be great.

[40:32] » That's the rumor. >> What it's what's called waste

[40:35] valorization. So they're taking the waste that they would have to find a way

[40:38] to dispose. >> I think that's a great idea. finding a

[40:41] process to turn it into potentially >> taking old tires and making uh you know

[40:48] out of it. Yeah. >> Once again, Lake County leads the way.

[40:51] » Yes, >> we're the mustard seed.

[40:53] » Good. >> Of Ohio must seed the data center.

[40:59] » Okay. Solicitor's report.

[41:04] » The uh safety cameras are starting to produce citations.

[41:10] and I have working with the local for to smooth out pick up come out of the

[41:18] processes. So we should begin to start seeing

[41:23] coming in from that >> I I have a question regard to that. Um,

[41:28] what is there an offset that we then have to experience if we're generating

[41:36] revenue from that from what our funding would be from the state of Ohio?

[41:42] » I know that legislators don't like these speed cameras. I know that it's a civil

[41:47] charge versus a criminal charge. So

[41:53] » your local government Neil, so you lose your local government fund portion.

[42:00] » Dollar, that's what the the law says that they pass is it's dollar. So it's

[42:04] essentially we have a $43,000 deductible >> potentially, but I don't know how they

[42:09] if it's fiscal year, it's only operational half a year. Do they take

[42:12] half? You know, I don't know how the math gets done.

[42:15] » Yeah, it doesn't really specify they go about doing it. If they looked at as a

[42:19] deduct, you'd have to you'd replace your government fund,

[42:23] » right? So up to >> up to $43,000, it would then trigger

[42:30] even. So it's till 43 and then anything above and beyond that would be a new

[42:35] revenue stream. >> I I would imagine since it goes it goes

[42:38] to the county, the budget process that eventually the county would report it to

[42:42] the state and then vice versa. >> There probably going to be a lag in that

[42:45] report. >> There probably would be some some type

[42:47] of lag. I imagine. >> But there there's the law does not I've

[42:52] not read the law, but does the law provide them to go back to prior years

[42:57] or is it just >> I don't think it's that cut out.

[43:02] » Okay, >> that's not

[43:06] doable. Um just some quick math. Uh we would need 287

[43:12] tickets to Ped. >> Okay. And the only ones that were exempt

[43:17] are like school zone speed cameras were not part of that legislation.

[43:24] » I think we may citation.

[43:29] » Yeah. But we also have from the Facebook postings of a lot of people that are

[43:35] going to be civil disobedient u civily disobedient in terms of uh not

[43:41] paying. Everyone is able to protest in their own

[43:46] right. I hope that they just don't speed through and when we are able to have

[43:52] offices that will be left for

[43:59] » so the previous year Mr. Harrison, just for yours, it's section 5747.502.

[44:10] » Review it, give your opinion at a later time.

[44:14] » Okay, I will absolutely do that then. Uh that there's nothing else that I have to

[44:21] report. >> Thank you.

[44:24] » Okay, this is hardwick. I'll report it.

[44:28] » I just want to since things get into the really tires

[44:34] from our meetings.

[44:43] » Um I mean about those u man strips and whatnot on our

[44:50] walls and the contract information systems to be put on the walls. Um so um

[44:59] I just want people reading what the regulations rules and regulations are

[45:03] appear >> on the v on the village hall contract

[45:07] when they're running it. >> Yes.

[45:10] » Yeah. People don't read the entire contract when they're writing it.

[45:20] » Keep their deposit. >> Keep their deposit.

[45:25] » Yeah. We got to retouch up the wall. >> Pay attention. You don't think

[45:31] » tried the carrot? I need to use the stick.

[45:35] » Well, that's why we collect a deposit. >> Have we ever denied anybody?

[45:47] » I mean, it's not a bad idea to highlight those areas quickly, you know, in the

[45:53] contract so they don't just see

[45:59] There's initials that says you

[46:07] first question.

[46:13] » Okay. Well, how's the rentals coming?

[46:22] one of our best July.

[46:30] » Okay, good. >> One one thing I'd like to point out as

[46:34] somebody who did rent the is that

[46:40] um renters need to wait till cleaners come through or they're allowed to get

[46:49] in in the past. What has what had happened was if nobody was renting it

[46:54] day before and the place was clean, you could get key on the evening before your

[47:00] event in order for you to do the proper moving tables and that sort of stuff. Um

[47:08] with >> Yeah. Because if it's not cleaned

[47:14] before the next group comes in, there's no opportunity.

[47:18] And so

[47:28] you know

[47:32] I have to

[47:40] chair too hard to clean.

[47:45] There is an option. >> They can come in, clean it themselves

[47:49] and then start eating. >> They can always volunteer that you know.

[47:54] » So just saying

[48:10] » not an option.

[48:13] Is it worth putting a doss and don'ts or biggest uh rules or regulations that are

[48:20] » questions? Thank you. Like you know, no stuff on

[48:24] the walls, just reminders in the times.

[48:36] » We're going to do another one. We have to revise a little bit of that, too. I'm

[48:39] going to revise it. And actually the even the breakdown. Okay. Like after

[48:44] tonight, I'm going to take and put the TV and the chairs away, but leave the

[48:49] tables and these those chairs like that. I think this is way we'll leave it set

[48:53] up. And this is way we want them to put it back with just the tables here and

[48:55] those chairs there, but not these because when these are left out and they

[49:00] they use them, these they're getting ripped up. I can tell every single time

[49:04] they're they're one by one one by one they're all getting pretty much ripped

[49:08] up. And again, there's no other way to stop. And then the TV, I just found it

[49:13] earlier today. It was in there, but the mop handle was against the screen.

[49:19] » Okay. I freaked out obviously. I plugged it in. Thank God. Nothing is wrong with

[49:23] it. But I am going to give more signs. I'm going to put all over there. Do not

[49:28] touch, you know, that's it. And >> it's not part of the stay in there.

[49:31] » It's not part of the rental. >> So unfortunate.

[49:33] » No, it's not part of the >> That's council property right there. I

[49:37] mean that's right now we're recording. We wouldn't be online without that right

[49:41] there. >> Is it safe for actually being in there

[49:43] with all the against it or just hear the sign?

[49:47] » Someone pulled it out from the village club pulled it out without my permission

[49:51] and plugged in their thing and was using it.

[49:54] » Okay, that's just >> Yeah, does use

[49:59] » it. To come into space in here, take some of that space. That's actually

[50:04] » village club closet and they have a key to that and that's So we could

[50:07] » We don't even have a key then. >> That's too small anyway.

[50:12] » That's too small. >> Yeah,

[50:14] » it's pretty small. >> It's not.

[50:16] » So that's just not under lock key, right? Or

[50:20] » it's like Goldman kitchen. >> I got a key for it. I'll show you later.

[50:24] It's not too big though. And plus they have all kinds of stuff loaded in there.

[50:28] Anyway, there's there's a >> It's accessible and not as

[50:33] » This is more space than that. Yeah, more space.

[50:38] » Lock it up, but then the renter would

[50:44] so that doesn't stop them from >> No. If I put everything away in there,

[50:48] put the chairs and everything and then just leave the rest and just leave this

[50:52] out. It's no problem. >> The chief had a bunch of gun safe locks.

[50:56] Probably set up some sort of pole and have it locked up in there so that

[51:02] » hook it up to the bottom. You know, it's a long loop.

[51:10] » They were pulling out the chairs on the rack and the rack absolutely has done

[51:16] some damage. So, I've asked this starting with the village club not to

[51:22] bring the rack out on it. So,

[51:27] » the rack is too heavy. It almost drags it. It almost drags across the floor.

[51:33] » So, That's about >> Okay, Mr. Conrad, you're here next.

[51:38] » Thank you, mayor. Um, we talked about the safety sidewalk projects of some

[51:42] things going around, some some loose ends to tie up before it goes to sale in

[51:47] October, which is when they'll put the bid out, select the contractor or

[51:51] contractors that will be doing project in the construction uh phase of

[51:58] been a two-year adventure, I'd say. the

[52:04] » probably this >> probably this fall. Uh we haven't marked

[52:08] on the detailed design. So the construction companies or companies that

[52:13] come out to do a bid on the job will know that those will be removed by the

[52:18] village prior to start date of construction.

[52:22] » But yeah, let's keep in contact. It's it's getting to the point where we

[52:24] should >> we should probably meet and and select

[52:28] the the U tree service vendor. >> Yeah.

[52:33] » Then inform them and then give them an approximate timeline.

[52:36] » Yeah. And give them because it you know if it helps them which I'm sure

[52:40] » yes to >> to get you know you have from it's got

[52:44] to drop that date is >> say October 31st have it done before

[52:48] then. we don't care how long it takes you, how many, you know, like that type

[52:50] of thing to give them the flexibility since they've been quite flexible

[52:55] accommodating us. So,

[53:01] yeah. So, let's let's do that for sure. and the mayor and myself attended SC

[53:07] ceig

[53:11] committee of funding sanitary waste water

[53:17] improvement projects has OWTA's there US EPA was there

[53:25] entity was there so it's basically consortium of potential funding sources

[53:31] for projects like our project. The majority of offerings or

[53:36] potential funding sources out there are loans from 0% for small governments,

[53:46] EPA loans, new potential opportunities for grants.

[53:52] Mayor and myself have kind of talked about piecing it out or doing a thorough

[53:56] review planning document we received from the

[54:02] federal EPA through their uh technical assistance programs. We have a have a

[54:07] plan and schematically with [snorts] their data

[54:14] potential green infrastructure in terms of bio retention

[54:19] permeable pavement but Like mayor said, the tenative estimate

[54:25] is $13 million. I don't know that we'll ever get to that $13 million

[54:30] figure. It's given our our size, our financial status. So, we'll have to be

[54:37] creative in how we piece it out.

[54:41] Phases do have it split out four phases that all

[54:46] three to five million section storm square. So, Mayor myself

[54:52] will take a deeper look at it and see if there's not like

[54:57] phase one that'll take care of 90% of the problems and then work on finalizing

[55:03] the rest from what I know those those engineering

[55:08] u estimates are usually a bited reeled in a bit back sheet calculation

[55:16] not back sheet there's there's thought behind it at least historically or at

[55:20] least experience with sidewalk project. It's coming in way less

[55:26] estimated spreadsheet. So more to come on that.

[55:31] It's going to be a huge project. It's going to take some creative staff.

[55:41] Stop putting down trying to

[55:52] take it. >> Okay. Uh, family fun days. Nice day.

[55:58] Beautiful day. Uh, nice crowd. Um, we uh cooked almost 200 hot dogs, 125

[56:09] hamburgers. Um, I don't know how many uh sausages uh barbecued

[56:16] uh kabasi sausages. Um, people were pretty happy with it. Um, the one thing

[56:22] that that I would change, and I'll talk to the village club about this, is that

[56:27] they uh don't know how to use sterno. So, um,

[56:32] » pan dilemma. >> Yeah, they just put it right under the

[56:34] pan. There no steamers. Um, and and so I I it was like, you know, really,

[56:41] » it's every year, Jerry. Is it >> usually when

[56:44] » my my my wife had a suggestion and um unfortunately because of logistics it

[56:51] didn't happen but um that we we put it in a 200 degree oven and leave it in the

[56:58] the the pans and then bring it out and then be ready to serve it. then the

[57:04] sterno might work um but without the steamer

[57:10] um pots to to to boil the water or to keep the water hot, keep the the food

[57:15] warm. So, we had some complaints about the cold hot dogs and and some of our

[57:20] more aggressive residents came out and put their hot dog back on the grill. Um

[57:26] but you know, you can't please everybody stand on your head and spit nickels

[57:32] and they have issues, right? Yeah, that's right. So anyway, but uh I think

[57:37] that everybody know if anybody went away hungry, it was their own fault.

[57:43] Entertainment was great. Exactly. >> Exactly right. Thank you to your uh your

[57:49] niece. >> Cousin.

[57:51] » Oh, cousin. Okay. >> Cousin.

[57:52] » All right. >> Cousin, but she's so young we call her

[57:54] niece. >> Cousin niece.

[57:57] » Um >> yeah, thank you. On a down note, I

[58:01] received a complaint about someone complaining who was driving in the

[58:07] parade um from a resident and the resident felt

[58:13] that somehow city village council was responsible for determining who gets to

[58:20] go in the parade. Um, the one thing I would like to say, um, because I I don't

[58:26] know that I I'm sure the resident would prefer that I would answer the

[58:31] complaint, but I don't feel like I can answer the complaint because I'm not

[58:38] part of the the body that >> we don't put together.

[58:41] » We don't we don't >> the club did together. So, whoever they

[58:43] invited or whoever they allowed, >> well, it's they apparently they don't

[58:47] invite people. They just allow people, >> right? And nobody really is there to uh

[58:53] to to vet uh anybody who decides they want to come. And I've had a

[58:59] conversation with our legal counsel and we have to be very careful about how we

[59:04] police that. Um excuse the the term um but how we um we we enforce that. Um

[59:12] because we really can't prevent somebody from expressing their first amendment

[59:17] rights. So, um, it's something I think that the village club's going to have to

[59:22] to address, but it's the village club and it's not village council. And that's

[59:27] the point that I'm trying to make, I guess, um, to this this resident who

[59:32] made the complaint.

[59:38] » Oh, it is. It is. But, um, I shared it with the mayor and the mayor says, "Oh,

[59:43] that's Chad GPT." He just typed in his parameters and spit it out. So sounded

[59:49] very official. I'm still

[59:54] » Yes. Um the the the last thing that I have is

[59:59] that um the uh the the tree commission as we looked at it a couple of months

[1:00:06] ago now. We looked at the language um specifically paragraph 27404

[1:00:14] and paragraph 700 uh.07. 7 with regard to what the tree commission um used to

[1:00:22] be and it was very different than what the tree commission is meant to be right

[1:00:30] now. It it starts with the the um the name of the committee. used to be called

[1:00:37] the Tree Conservation and Landscaping Commission. And it identified specific

[1:00:43] duties um with regard to what people on the committee or commission were going

[1:00:50] to be responsible for. And that was to actually tell people that they had to

[1:00:55] take down trees in their own yard. And that is absolutely not what we want the

[1:01:01] new tree commission to be doing. So, I took um a shot at rewriting 27404

[1:01:10] and 700.07 and I sent it off to our legal council

[1:01:15] and he came back and he said, "Well, um, okay, but you have a whole bunch of

[1:01:22] drafting problems with the old language that's in there." And so you really need

[1:01:26] to correct that first before you can go about modifying it in to what you're

[1:01:33] looking for. So um he sent me um a copy of

[1:01:40] um the language as it exists today with corrections for the u punctuation and

[1:01:47] and drafting and got it all in the right tense and all of that stuff. So I have a

[1:01:53] copy of that. everybody here.

[1:02:01] » I think what I think what I'd like to >> You wrote it.

[1:02:05] » What's that? >> Mr. Harrison, you wrote it. Remember

[1:02:09] sometimes you look back at your work though. That's pretty good.

[1:02:13] » Number.

[1:02:20] » Yeah. Right. So, what I'd like to do is to uh

[1:02:25] consider this first reading if we want and and

[1:02:31] consider it for next month's agenda. Um, but basically what what I'd like to do

[1:02:39] is I would like to um have us clean up the language first and then at the same

[1:02:46] time introduce my revised proposal >> next month.

[1:02:51] » Next month. >> Okay.

[1:02:52] » Okay. So, um I'm not looking for a vote tonight on this. I'd like you to take

[1:02:58] this and and consider it. John, if we could get this into the um agenda for

[1:03:04] next month, that would be great. >> Shouldn't we have a committee meeting on

[1:03:08] it? Pre-committee meeting and then before we'll review it during a

[1:03:12] committee meeting. >> I suppose we could.

[1:03:14] » Yeah.

[1:03:17] » You could even the committee

[1:03:21] produce the correction. >> Okay.

[1:03:26] » Details and then bring it back. Oh, all right.

[1:03:30] » At the next meeting and we'll put on the next meeting at first.

[1:03:32] » Okay. >> We'll call the tree committee meeting

[1:03:36] here in the next week or so. >> We have to talk about what kind of trees

[1:03:39] we're going to plant, too. >> Well, we we do we need to we need to

[1:03:42] talk about that and the the tree city USA application will open up again after

[1:03:48] Labor Day and so need to to be moving in that direction. I need

[1:03:53] » a freestanding tree committee is probably best suited then, not the half

[1:03:56] hour before council. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. And

[1:03:59] you'll all be invited, but you know, but I I think that we can find a time that

[1:04:05] the street committee can meet without having to jam it up against the next

[1:04:09] council meeting. And that way we'll have a little bit of time to

[1:04:14] discuss

[1:04:17] damage done to the tree. >> Oh, okay. by the deer

[1:04:21] » by the local uh fauna

[1:04:27] » by the local the deer have been our trees

[1:04:30] » the ring

[1:04:35] » forgot my jar of ticks at home >> in these words now

[1:04:45] we um that is

[1:04:49] consider any plant legally by government authority as harmful agricultural

[1:04:57] ecosystem.

[1:05:00] Just this year um I found a wonderful nursery around the world and they only

[1:05:07] have native plants. Talk about

[1:05:16] » but my backyard now is weeds because they are flowering

[1:05:24] beautiful weeds that you know they're not they're flowering weeds and they're

[1:05:31] beautiful. So there's also a house of a corner of

[1:05:38] possibly that has sideyard that also has that type of

[1:05:43] if you want to call it. >> So beauties in the eye of the beholder

[1:05:46] you're saying? >> Sorry.

[1:05:47] » Beauty's in the eye of the beholder. you're saying?

[1:05:49] » Well, um yeah, like >> weeds are weeds.

[1:05:52] » Yeah. >> Yeah. Because just because

[1:05:56] » you don't like milkweed.

[1:06:01] » Yeah. >> Butterflies do

[1:06:03] » and they plant things are >> dandelines

[1:06:07] exclude them. Look at >> these

[1:06:11] clover honey started

[1:06:16] to be grass. It's crazy. It should all be factual.

[1:06:21] » From my recollection of history, you unfortunately will need to blame it.

[1:06:27] » Okay. >> Okay.

[1:06:29] » Is it from my recollection a front lawn or lawn in general status? He was so

[1:06:37] wealthy you did not have.

[1:06:42] » That's why the Welsh and the Irish get along. They become an enemy.

[1:06:49] deadline easy to become extinct. I mean, you

[1:06:53] know, we need all those things. So, when somebody says this guy's got this in his

[1:06:58] yard, she's got that yard and I don't like the way it looks.

[1:07:04] Is that reason to >> Yeah. I I think that the only thing I

[1:07:08] would like to see us consider regulating and again this is just a consideration

[1:07:14] is height.

[1:07:20] » You got to grow it in the middle of your front yard.

[1:07:26] » But it is in my backyard. >> We have a height already. It's eight

[1:07:31] inches. Okay. But here's the problem. When it gets above 8 in, a lot of the

[1:07:36] grass sprouts and flowers kind of it looks like little flowers.

[1:07:40] » Yeah. >> So then they say, "Well, it's like

[1:07:42] natural flowers." So can't win in some some of these instances.

[1:07:46] » Well, this tree committee meeting seems to be the contentious.

[1:07:51] » So let's go. Let's do it. All right. >> Schedule it. So

[1:07:55] » All right. I'll be I'll be contacting the the committee members and then

[1:07:59] inviting the other council members to attend.

[1:08:02] » Okay.

[1:08:05] » [laughter]

[1:08:09] » I want this to be as benign as we possibly can make it. I I I'm not

[1:08:13] looking to create controversy here. Matter of fact,

[1:08:17] » to me, the the existing language is controversial.

[1:08:22] Um, and what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to simplify that so that we're

[1:08:28] not putting resident to the to resident in terms of, you know, nose tonose kind

[1:08:36] of thing. I I I maybe it's utopian on my part, but I'd

[1:08:41] like people to get along.

[1:08:48] Yeah. Oh yeah. >> Anyway, that's it. Thank you.

[1:08:53] » Um I was going to piggy back on to you there with the uh how nice uh

[1:09:02] family fun days went. I'm sorry to hear about the the food complaints. I I had

[1:09:07] not experienced any of those. Um which I would hope a whole lot of other people.

[1:09:12] » What's the cost of that food? >> No, they just told

[1:09:15] » No, no. What's the cost of that food? >> What's the cost of it? They always look

[1:09:19] great. You got >> a free room temperature. It's still a

[1:09:23] good free hot. >> In in in fairness though, the Village

[1:09:28] Club was trying to suggest and if you saw their their flyer, they're trying to

[1:09:34] suggest that it would be a $5 donation from all attendees.

[1:09:41] Now, they had their tip jar set out here next to where you bought your tickets

[1:09:45] for the the raffle. Um, but I'm not sure a whole lot of people were putting

[1:09:51] money. >> Really, honey?

[1:09:53] » I know. >> Yeah.

[1:09:55] » Missing your head chef. That's why you got

[1:09:59] » grill master. >> The entire day I thought was just

[1:10:03] absolutely wonderful in terms of our the sense of community and the involvement

[1:10:09] of the community. It was really nice to be in this building with the new floor

[1:10:13] and seeing it utilized by a very diverse, you know, group. We had

[1:10:19] families, we had youngsters, we had, you know, longtime residents here. Um, the

[1:10:25] Timberlake Police Department was having great, you know, rapport with everyone.

[1:10:30] Um, people mingling, the music was fabulous. Everything started with that

[1:10:35] parade. I thought the 250 um, and our whole patriotic theme was

[1:10:41] carried out very well. And >> the liberty, we had we had many, many

[1:10:46] things. We had, >> you know, the the liberty bell that they

[1:10:49] could ring, which was right here from Lake County. We had our own um copy of

[1:10:55] the Declaration of Independence, not only read by one of our commissioners,

[1:10:59] but available for residents. >> And we don't have that forever in our

[1:11:05] own capacity to the time on it or to you know just be able to

[1:11:12] hang shower.

[1:11:16] I thought it got a lot of different things instead of just the

[1:11:22] kids games and and raffle, you know, um around food. There were just lots of

[1:11:28] ways to have a conversation with people and I personally saw a lot of that

[1:11:33] happen and I thought that was fabulous. Kudos to everyone who was involved and

[1:11:38] everyone who came in whatever, you know, capacity you helped out. I thought it

[1:11:43] was well well worth.

[1:11:48] » Good. Thank you. This is Mar. You're next.

[1:11:54] » I'd like to be Jeff Hannah. Jeff Hannah donated the sausage, right? Noted the

[1:11:59] » and the hamburgers and the hamburgers. Yes.

[1:12:01] » $600 of the meat he donated. Thank you, Mr. Hannah. Also, didn't you donate the

[1:12:07] did you donate something? >> The hot dogs. Okay. So, a lot of

[1:12:11] donation, a lot of work went into people making sure that the village club

[1:12:14] doesn't have to spend their money. And Laura Lavell, I asked I thank her as

[1:12:18] president for doing what she does. She does a lot on her own. She does a lot of

[1:12:21] work. So, give her a lot of credit for that. Um, the chief, boy, you guys

[1:12:25] nailed it with the um dunk the police. People really enjoyed that. So like and

[1:12:33] the K9 >> and all the officers showing up. Yeah,

[1:12:36] that that was a really that was a really good show. I really appreciate that.

[1:12:44] » We were trying to get you to do it, but didn't [laughter]

[1:12:50] » is it Lieutenant Shilling? >> Sergeant Schilling. Um was apparently

[1:12:55] mouththing off to the chief and the chief wasn't going to let that go.

[1:13:01] follow the rules in terms of the dunk. So, he slapped it as opposed to

[1:13:08] » throwing the ball at it. >> Allegedly. Yeah. I I noticed that was

[1:13:13] not actually on camera. >> Malfunction, [laughter]

[1:13:22] » but u anyway the uh the sergeant uh testified to that effect. Of course, it

[1:13:29] is a he said, he said kind of situation. So,

[1:13:33] » so I'd also like to talk about the tree committee. That's great. Let's get

[1:13:35] together. Let's get these these trees in the ground. East shores looking kind of

[1:13:40] bare. I'd like to get that done before the fall. That would be nice. And I'm

[1:13:43] also um I'm glad you're revising this because I'm going to make I want this to

[1:13:47] get in the minutes. When someone's having a problem with their neighbor not

[1:13:50] taking down a dangerous tree and it's on private property, we are not the judge

[1:13:54] to say you have to take it down. And when two neighbors get into it and they

[1:13:58] think that we are liable, we are not liable. It's on private property, they

[1:14:02] can't we cannot be held liable that one neighbor won't take down a dangerous

[1:14:06] tree because the other neighbor wants it. And those phone calls I will take

[1:14:10] and those phones, pardon me, allegedly won't take down. Exactly. So, um I hope

[1:14:15] we get that settled in here, too, that we are not going on private property to

[1:14:20] take down other people's trees because the other neighbor allegedly thinks it's

[1:14:24] dangerous, >> right? Otherwise, I told them we would

[1:14:29] be actually trespassing on their property. So, that's it. Thank you.

[1:14:33] » Thank you, Mr. Rosis. Financial report.

[1:14:40] The ending balance for the general fund through July 31st is $67,131.

[1:14:47] Our total monthly receipts were $41,469

[1:14:52] versus expenditures of $66,378,

[1:14:58] resulting in a net deficit for the month of $24,99.

[1:15:04] With a net advance out to the sidewalk fund of $19,128,

[1:15:10] there was a deficit of $44,037. Expenditures were above expectations for

[1:15:16] the month due to higher than anticipated payments to Willoughby Municipal Mun

[1:15:22] Municipal Court for court costs and the purchase of body armor which will

[1:15:26] eventually be which will eventually be mostly reimbursed by grant funding. the

[1:15:30] body armor. By comparison, receipts were $52,67

[1:15:36] in July of 2025 and expenditures were $63,674.

[1:15:43] Income tax revenue was $27,56 net for the month versus $43,222

[1:15:51] in July of 2025. Assuming expenditures remain well

[1:15:56] managed and income tax revenues continue to be robust, we still do anticipate

[1:16:00] maintaining a positive trajectory through the remainder of the year. At

[1:16:05] this time, we estimate a surplus of approximately $77,500

[1:16:09] for fiscal year 2026, excluding any capital transfers, and this does not

[1:16:14] include any um new revenue sources at this time.

[1:16:18] calculations will be revised once we have a better idea what amount of

[1:16:22] revenue revenue we may expect from the traffic cameras.

[1:16:26] Other significant fund activity and miscellaneous and other fund activity

[1:16:29] this month notable expenditures included $19,763

[1:16:34] from the sidewalk construction fund. We received a reimbursement from lake tran

[1:16:40] for the sidewalk project. uh $5,698 was returned to the state highway fund

[1:16:47] while $1,429 was returned to the general fund.

[1:16:51] Additionally, OPWC reimbured $6,872 towards the project. Of note, we made

[1:16:58] our bianual payment of $7,086 towards our OWDA sanitary sewer loan and

[1:17:06] $550 including five hall and one pavilion deposit returns were dispersed

[1:17:12] from the hall rental security refund fund 9019901

[1:17:22] surprising decrease. It it varies a little bit year to year as far as which

[1:17:28] months have higher revenue. I mean, I think

[1:17:31] » I think month is the month of May is always pretty is we get some pretty

[1:17:37] significant income tax in May. Um, and some of the other months that are they

[1:17:44] just kind of vary year to year, but overall we're still doing pretty well

[1:17:48] for the year. So, >> yeah. Thank you, [clears throat] Chief

[1:17:54] Report. >> Another busy month,

[1:17:59] we're still

[1:18:02] first month.

[1:18:21] addressed last night which we'll go into detail on that. So some more OBIs. We're

[1:18:26] up to 30 OVI arrest this year so far which surpassed last year OBI arrest. So

[1:18:31] uh we're well above every single number that we did last year. We actually

[1:18:35] surpassed everything by July 1st. So lots more training to come.

[1:18:41] » Okay. Thanks Chief. Next zoning property maintenance. Uh Gary G is not here but

[1:20:46] commission. Tree commission is a it's an advisory board. I am the chair of the

[1:20:52] tree committee. >> We don't have a commission yet. It's not

[1:21:14] be codified, >> right?

[1:21:17] » Correctly. Right. >> Because the current laws as they stand,

[1:21:22] the ordinances are incorrect. >> Okay.

[1:22:09] Whatever. I'm not I I will we'll call together the the group, but um

[1:22:16] you know, we have to sort of decide how we're going to uh proceed and and and

[1:22:22] who we're going to uh get to to actually do the planting. I don't think that you

[1:22:27] want to go around and plant 100 trees.

[1:22:33] » Well, we're our interest. Yeah.

[1:22:38] » Yeah. And we want to get established trees. We're we're, you know, seedlings

[1:23:34] Yeah. Well, exactly.

[1:23:44] this high and then you can put a cage around it. But, um, we'll we'll talk

[1:27:43] actually minutes that are online as well and find out, you know, that the
