[8:22] Um,
[8:27] I had a couple of questions
[8:31] the other day I I mentioned to Gary Gray

[8:37] don't know. But anyhow, um about two
things about the boat in the yard
[8:44] um
[8:48] that's not supposed to be there and it's
been there for a long time. I haven't
[8:52] said anything to him, but um I did
mention it to him and he said he doesn't
[8:57] do anything about it until somebody
mentions it to him. So I thought, okay,
[9:02] well, I'm mentioning it. I I also
mentioned to him about
[9:08] witchbo
ver.
[9:14] Okay. Um
anyhow, so then I also I said, "Well,
[9:21] while we're at it," and then I told him
about um I mentioned the perpetual
[9:26] garage sale going on at um
Oh, his name escapes me right now. My my
[9:36] um
>> dress,
[9:39] » it's right on the corner. It's um
shoot I can't believe I forgot his name
[9:47] right now.
[9:50] Okay. But it's a perpetual I mean you

[9:55] day.
He's always got stuff out there and he's
[9:59] got for sale signs up there right now

[10:04] these two bikes. Um but he's always got
something out there. Um, so I'd like

[10:52] because um yeah, I tried to warn not
warn but I tried to teach a new resident
[10:59] that and I don't think she believed me
at all.

up here and maybe it'll get in the
[11:07] Timberlake Times, but yes, if you could
put that in the Timberlake Times just I
[11:12] know it's the towards the end of burning
season, but

costs more than 41,000 we're in the hook

the detailed design and engineering
[30:55] work. So it's just a follow on to the
appropriation they've already made.
[31:01] And there is a way to change it, but I
don't think Mr. Harrison suggested any

[31:54] discussion on this
[31:59] none heard. Roll call please.
>> Mr. Joyce.
[32:03] » Hi.
>> Mrs. US. Mrs. Hardwick. Mrs. Amara.
[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.
[1:18:11] Thank you. Uh again, just very, you
know, unfortunately, we keep getting
[1:18:15] more and more calls for service. had an
incident last night which we'll we we
[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
[1:18:46] he send me the permits that were issued.
There were two permits issued for fence,

Um, lots to talk about
[1:20:41] the tree commission. Are you in charge?
>> I'm not in charge of the tree
[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
[1:20:55] official.
>> No, we have we have a commission.
[1:21:00] » We're not swearing things like that.
>> No, we we already we already appointed
[1:21:04] people. We appointed them at
>> June meeting.
[1:21:08] » But it's not the commissioner and the
old like what we're doing.
[1:21:10] » No, we're changing changing.
>> We have a new commission that needs to
[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.
[1:21:26] » Go ahead.
>> Um, am I on that committee? The last I
[1:21:30] knew I was. I don't know. No, I think
that we I'm pretty sure
[1:21:35] » I have to go back through the minutes,
but I'm almost positive. If you're not,
[1:21:38] then we'll nominate you, B.
>> Okay, thank you. Cuz I I have like a
[1:21:42] hundred trees in my
>> That is not a requirement to be on the
[1:21:46] tree commission. No, I know. But I'm I
was told these were going to be we were
[1:21:51] we meaning the commission or committee
whatever going to plant these in August
[1:21:55] and it's already what the 18th and
>> yeah I say
[1:22:00] » if they don't get in the ground
>> will not be planting them in August.
[1:22:04] » No.
>> Well no not not in the next 12 days.
[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
[1:22:43] are great, but
there's a few of us in this room that
[1:22:48] might live long enough to see them.
>> Are these all potted seedlings? Is that
[1:22:52] what they are? Or what kind of trees are
they? Are they pot in pots already? Or
[1:22:56] you say you have a hundred?
>> They're they're Well, that might be a
[1:23:00] slight exaggeration, but they're all
those trees that he brought to the
[1:23:05] » Oh, yeah.
>> Yeah. I've got those that I've been
[1:23:07] nurturing.
>> Okay. Some of those some of those are
[1:23:10] little uh pine trees.
>> Pine trees. Yeah.
[1:23:12] » Red pine. Um I'm trying to remember.
>> I don't know one kind from the other,
[1:23:16] but
>> but the Yeah, they're all in soil.
[1:23:29] » The pine trees.
>> Yeah. Any tree that's that small. They
[1:23:34] Yeah.
Well, exactly.
[1:23:38] » They should stay in pots for a couple of
years until they have height of about
[1:23:44] this high and then you can put a cage
around it. But, um, we'll we'll talk
[1:23:50] about that in the next
community meeting because you got three
[1:23:54] minutes. Go ahead. Let's
>> Okay.
[1:23:55] » Finish up here. Um,
and I I was frightened by the that idea
[1:24:02] that uh a villager said
that there was somebody in the parade
[1:24:08] that didn't belong that didn't live in
Timberlake.
[1:24:14] » All right. I know. Well, first of all,
council has has nothing to do with
[1:24:19] » and I understand that
>> point was well made, but I hope somebody
[1:24:25] takes it to the um to the other
committee to the village club,
[1:24:31] please, because that needs to be taken
care of.
[1:24:35] » I would encourage you to attend the
village club meeting, the next one, and
[1:24:39] bring that up directly yourself.
>> Okay. I don't know if I can. village
[1:24:45] club.
>> I'm I'm here tonight when I should be
[1:24:47] done at the game, but I wanted to be um
Yeah. So I I don't know I don't know
[1:24:52] when the village club meetings are
>> second. [snorts]
[1:24:59] » No,
the concern that you had.
[1:25:04] » Yeah, their signs are posted throughout
the village of when their meetings are.
[1:25:08] » It's usually the second Monday of uh the
month. school board meeting second
[1:25:13] Monday of every month.
>> Yeah.
[1:25:15] » 7 o'clock.
>> Yeah. Um and who did didn't you say that
[1:25:20] that they they should talk to somebody
about the legality of that?
[1:25:28] Didn't you wasn't that you that brought
that up or no?
[1:25:31] » Yeah.
>> Of dis of vetting people for the parade.
[1:25:39] » I
want to seriously consider how they
[1:25:44] would go about doing such a thing if
they chose to go about doing such thing.
[1:25:51] » Okay. Okay. I'll I'll mention that to
her then. Um and Hank is the one who has
[1:25:56] a perpetual garage sale going on.
>> Okay.
[1:25:59] » And I noticed his name wasn't mentioned
as having purchased a garage sale per
[1:26:05] » Okay.
>> Um
[1:26:10] Okay. And if you could clarify something
for me, too. I understand I did not see
[1:26:16] this on Channel 5 News, but I was told
by a villager, and I I trust you guys
[1:26:24] more than
I trust what he says, but that on
