[0:09] We're all responsible for this briefing.

[0:12] Let's put on the floor, and I all to order the honest meeting of the bill of the Tribal Board of Trustees. Please.

[0:21] Joining in the committee.

[0:25] I pledge allegiance to the right of the United States of America,

[0:29] and to the Republic for which it stands.

[0:32] One mission under their act in the fiscal responsibility to justice our all.

[0:38] Thank you very much.

[0:40] Let's begin as we always do with our village courts report quickly and take away.

[0:46] All right, it's really short this month.

[0:49] The village sold 447 trash figures, which is a lot,

[0:53] and one large trash figure this month.

[0:56] Treasurer Bounty Day process two handles, and I clerk Cleveland

[1:00] assisted the planning board with a meeting on Monday, August 10th.

[1:04] Thank you very much.

[1:05] We have two sets, oh, I'm sorry, three sets of minutes to approve from the July 15 workshop and ready in the meeting minutes and the August 12 workshop meeting minutes, I guess, a motion to approve minutes.

[1:22] Some of them.

[1:23] I should.

[1:24] I moved by in both of them.

[1:26] Second, I can grab the deputy, all in favor.

[1:30] All right.

[1:31] So, in terms of the treasure of reports, this month was a pretty light month for expenses

[1:40] as well.

[1:40] and I don't want to say the bills total 41 has miles 702 and 82 cents.

[1:53] Can I get a motion to accept the treasure of your report?

[1:59] Move by the way.

[2:00] Can I get a...

[2:16] All right, I don't know.

[2:19] So,

[2:23] right there is, it's so darn light.

[2:25] All right, we have a resolution accepting the audit report

[2:29] for the unit and your name, there's 0.26.

[2:34] And when you're just sitting with our,

[2:38] our, our, our,

[2:40] the facto auditor,

[2:42] Michelle Sigorsky and he's,

[2:46] she talked us through what the audit is.

[2:48] What it is is, so our court takes in money, you can use fines, and then passes that money on to the state.

[3:02] So the audit needs looking at all the funds they're changing in, and all the funds they're going to send along.

[3:10] And that happened. So great.

[3:15] So can I get a, so Bill was not to read the resolution?

[3:22] I will read it.

[3:23] That's it?

[3:24] That's it.

[3:26] The resolution excepting part of the report for year ended May 31, 2006.

[3:33] He resolved that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tidily to see if I accepted

[3:37] Justice Court on the report for the year ended May 31, 2006.

[3:43] compared by the shelves of course.

[3:46] Can I get a motion to accept it well to for the resolution except in your other board?

[3:53] Some more.

[3:54] Shocking.

[3:54] Move by major.

[3:56] Second.

[3:57] Let's do a roll call.

[3:59] Trustee Major.

[4:01] Aye.

[4:01] Do you know?

[4:04] Aye.

[4:04] Trustee Moon?

[4:05] Aye.

[4:06] Trustee Moon?

[4:07] Aye.

[4:07] I also vote.

[4:09] Thank you.

[4:09] Michelle?

[4:13] So, this is just for the Justice Court, we need to do one for our folks right now.

[4:18] That was just like a review of our, we just did a review of our annual surgery report.

[4:25] If it's not an audit report, right, just yet.

[4:40] For the month of the report, we 14 building permits reviewed eight building permits issued,

[4:48] zero complaints, zero complaints,

[4:50] It's best to be in zero zoning property, maintenance violations, zero appearance tickets,

[4:55] three municipal searches, seven inspections, and zero fire inspections.

[5:01] All right.

[5:02] Thank you very much.

[5:04] We're moving right along.

[5:06] Justice Court Summary reports.

[5:09] Short reports.

[5:12] So this month, very light month, we've got a total of 245, 150 in serotonous, $15

[5:20] of social fees for total of $405.

[5:23] We will be passed along this day.

[5:25] Exactly.

[5:27] Exactly.

[5:27] Actual.

[5:28] Actual.

[5:29] Audit.

[5:32] Let's see.

[5:33] Do we have a pool?

[5:34] Yes.

[5:35] Yes.

[5:36] We do.

[5:38] For the busy month of July.

[5:41] There were 21 incidents.

[5:43] There was also a traffic tickets issued

[5:47] and six burping tickets.

[5:48] But there was zero arrests, so very in the crime down.

[5:54] That's awesome.

[5:55] It's funny how many fewer participants there are in temperate months.

[6:08] That's the business part of the business.

[6:13] You know what I'm talking about.

[6:16] I can't believe these things, but is there anything?

[6:20] So I started with that and if you guys are moved.

[6:24] So we had to, we did that on August 1st, and it was awesome.

[6:31] We changed things up a couple of days ago, but this year we started earlier with a third

[6:37] yoga class in the park for three of the billion, and our neighbor, Karen Faith, stepped in

[6:44] at the last minute, because I thought we had somebody who was going to be meeting your

[6:49] and then we did it in my culture, you know, the day before I was like, hey, how would you feel about doing a yoga?

[6:54] She was like, great, can't do. So that was terrific. And I don't know, maybe it doesn't, to Williams, got up early and did yoga.

[7:01] And then we had our first annual loop K walk. So you did, you do a walk run. Actually there were two runners.

[7:14] There were, and maybe four or five, walkers, and I think if we keep doing it every year, we'll get more people.

[7:21] Yep.

[7:21] That was scary.

[7:22] There's a tree to do.

[7:23] She put out a lot of the full walkers posed around Eleanor Roosevelt over at the...

[7:33] So that was great. And then we had the timelay gave photo, which usually is like at five and a afternoon, but by then we were getting tired, we had a high noon, which got us pretty good crowd.

[7:54] And then we had the Timberley-Bringberry Pie-Baking Contest, which I think it's the 23rd, it was the 23rd, year of it, yeah, it's been going on for a good long time,

[8:11] and yeah, for the past two years, it's been part of yard sale day, instead, but totally community day.

[8:20] Right, well, for the past 21 years, it's yard sale day.

[8:23] for twenty more years. Right. Now it's part of different community today. And last year, the theme for the judges was that they were all, in fact, municipal judges and then where their rooms managed to stay clean remarkably. This year, the theme was that the judges were overwhelmingly women named April. And we have a lot of them in the village. So that was really exciting.

[8:54] Watermelon, I want to thank Sam Barrett for being a watermelon man and thank Hanford

[9:01] a second year in a row they generously donated 60 watermelon to create a watermelon.

[9:07] That was no small amount of watermelon.

[9:10] That's all I wanted.

[9:11] As we had a sticky good time, so we have a resident who works for a tree company and the

[9:20] that come out when you make the first cuts when you take them out of tree.

[9:25] If you turn them upright then look like water mountains.

[9:29] So he paints them and he has become a watermill man.

[9:32] And he, it seemed like a perfect fit.

[9:37] Let's have a watermill in there.

[9:38] Not a salary of how long.

[9:39] It didn't work.

[9:40] It didn't work.

[9:41] It just made beautifully sculpted watermill in the awards.

[9:46] It's just a hoot, and the idea is that everybody gets, we break it up into age categories

[9:54] and everybody gets a piece of roughly equal size, and you need to get all the pink off

[10:01] of that.

[10:02] Man, I tried it.

[10:05] It was like being waterboarded.

[10:08] This is my first real attempt.

[10:10] I'll do it again, but I won't like it.

[10:16] There's so many people that work really hard in the lead up to this.

[10:24] They hit a utility fire company for, again, like, losing themselves available to, you know,

[10:32] to leave the road walk and keep everybody safe.

[10:36] And they were ready to roll over and get everybody with the hose this year,

[10:42] but it was not needed, thank you to the businesses

[10:47] who donated gift cards to use as prizes

[10:51] for the events, and that's typically written bakery.

[10:54] It's fortunes and available items and fifth to fight

[11:00] and

[11:02] send a ferry, yes, and I'm sure I'm leading somebody out

[11:08] and I apologize, but thank you to our businesses

[11:10] who, you know, vital part of the community.

[11:13] Thank you to the Masons.

[11:17] know gorgeous directives. So thank you to the Masonic Library. What is it Hudson?

[11:26] What is this? We have some, yes, but my new metal.

[11:29] That's it.

[11:30] Who is those son?

[11:32] Number number-

[11:32] Number, second F and A and F?

[11:34] It's frequency.

[11:35] Yes, that was really good.

[11:38] That was really good.

[11:40] Must again be the best sausage-uphebber sandwiches hot dogs.

[11:46] timbers, kept us all, you know, fed watered, thank you to particularly free libraries who did a great craft this year.

[11:58] With the kids, they made full banners that went into finance.

[12:01] And it's, yeah, definitely woohoo.

[12:04] They said WSTI, which if you don't know, typically has a radio station.

[12:10] And there, what is low frequency?

[12:13] You can hear it within the village and we can be like a mile outside, but that's what we should go on.

[12:19] Yeah, it was doing our mind,

[12:22] and it's so great. I'm so enthusiastic about this.

[12:26] It's, you know, you tune in and you listen to your neighbors, interviewing each other,

[12:31] or playing the music that they love, or just being just a staff, and that brings me to another thing,

[12:39] which is one of the DJs is Gregg and he has a show every week where he plays nothing but the music of Queen.

[12:53] Typically, Gregg and Julia,

[12:59] who I strummed into

[13:08] a pair to do, you know, the separatism and whatnot.

[13:13] I don't know where to age, don't know for the kids.

[13:15] where we have a lot of little kids and then we have a lot of like older teenagers who were like, yeah, no.

[13:23] Thank you, I don't think so.

[13:26] So thanks to Greg and Joy for being working.

[13:32] Thank you to Lauren Aguilaro who lives down at the river and she took some beautiful photos of

[13:42] Typically, I'm the river and she was selling them and the money was going to, I believe,

[13:49] Zinc.

[13:50] Hudson River, keep her.

[13:51] Remember, keep her.

[13:53] Which is the organization that sponsors the annual river cleanup.

[13:58] And just a really great historic organization.

[14:01] So thank you to Warren for doing that.

[14:02] And I hope she raised a bunch of money.

[14:04] Thanks to Tony's deferral for every year coming out and he's an amazing woodturner.

[14:11] and he's my go-to because we're shopping. Christmas and honest.

[14:19] Thank you to Quickly Want, who just killed it.

[14:25] In terms of organizing and making sure that we had what we needed.

[14:30] And again, get in the dump and also working with Andrew Miller and William Miller Roads.

[14:38] on the marketing of the event or the publicity for the event.

[14:43] Great banner.

[14:44] Great banner.

[14:45] Thank you, too.

[14:45] Who was it that made the banner?

[14:50] Storms.

[14:52] The landstorms.

[14:54] Now we have the emphasizes both yard sale day and...

[15:01] So we can get the advertising out there, get people thinking about it. So many people have commented on that, banner, like in a positive way, and just, like saying that they didn't realize that that was the pattern that it's always the same over here.

[15:15] So yeah, really useful and it's like, it's so simple and it's designed, like it can be used over and over again without us having a nice table.

[15:25] So the last Saturday of July is always Yard Salet, and the first Saturday of August is always

[15:33] Tilly Day.

[15:33] So Mark your calendars now.

[15:35] And thank you to our Mono who's last time I do not know, but he owns the land at the end of

[15:39] Kiddling.

[15:39] And let's us put our big sign there for every year.

[15:43] So thank you.

[15:44] And thank you.

[15:46] Thank you.

[15:48] Thank you.

[15:48] My heart is there.

[15:50] Oh, there's sign for Tilly Day.

[15:52] There is.

[15:57] to keep the sign up for your whole day and that, because, you know. People see it.

[16:04] Absolutely. The other other sign down there too. Awesome.

[16:07] And finally, thank you to the trustees. I'm a coordinator for, you know, just just getting in there and doing all of the things.

[16:17] The song.

[16:18] It's a lot of fun, but really being on this team is so much fun, it doesn't feel like what I would think government would feel like, but it just...

[16:31] Maybe you shouldn't say that.

[16:34] It's like, we're very serious.

[16:36] We're very serious, we're very cool.

[16:38] Yes, we take it very seriously.

[16:39] We take it very seriously, but it's not, but it's serious fun.

[16:43] Seriously fun.

[16:45] So maybe I think that's what I said, not typically that.

[16:50] You were missed. I don't know what that means when we wouldn't miss it and we put on a safer part of it, but it wasn't really fun and I think we're really, I like to expand it for that. I hope we keep doing that, even if it's not always the same every year. It's nice to have a lot of different people, you know, some people are more like rolling people or they only want to do it by activity like yoga, not spine, and then having a huge queen, you thought it was great and I think if we keep saying it's,

[17:17] always at high noon and that's just like such an easy time to remember and then having

[17:22] the pie contest that's part of community day when everybody's already in the park I think

[17:29] is really great too. People just are so energized and excited about it so.

[17:34] I don't know who should say 18, 18, 20. Yeah, that's a lot of highs.

[17:38] That's the one next to your group. Yeah, okay.

[17:41] I had a good time and did leave. I'm glad that we're bringing back some of the old traditions

[17:47] because for a while we didn't have it for many years and then we would have it in June

[17:52] because it was always sent to him for a hundred eons.

[17:57] And then we didn't have it from COVID and now it's been an August since after COVID.

[18:03] So I do like that.

[18:04] I like that we're bringing back some old traditions and some new, I think, computer chairs

[18:13] That that could be a cool thing

[18:17] My kids had bought and like a leftover from a tang sale, and it was a computer chair and

[18:23] I was basically charged money because all the kids were sitting in the chair

[18:29] But I do kind of like that it was back to back with his you know the street gaining and then

[18:34] Or sorry

[18:36] The yard sale day and then following week with that. I do like that

[18:40] And I'm just glad that it keeps going, that's traditions and new stuff every year.

[18:46] I think to us, as if we're totally open to new things, like the watermelon is now two years old.

[18:55] The bouquet is now on the books, right?

[18:58] And if people have ideas that they'd like to see, you know, like, bring it, like that would be awesome.

[19:06] And we're always looking for volunteers to get involved.

[19:10] So, yeah, so come on down to home.

[19:14] Camp has contributed.

[19:17] Because, like, August is, you know, to be a deal.

[19:22] And we're going to take a breath until three painting.

[19:24] But camp was great because with kids in camp,

[19:28] would like to say anything.

[19:32] I mean, my kids out of class, they demand

[19:34] that we spend the whole summer out to, like, camp.

[19:37] I have one who's a CAT and two that are campers.

[19:40] And they had a really great time.

[19:42] And we can always improve it.

[19:44] And I think we will over time.

[19:46] But in general, it's nice to have a,

[19:50] what you don't really find that many camps

[19:52] where kids of all ages can all be built together.

[19:57] Usually it's like, okay, we're going to put the teens over here,

[20:01] and the five to seven's over here.

[20:03] And so I think it's good for them to all be part of something together.

[20:09] So I think it's great when I want to send a big shout out to the counselors

[20:13] who Alyssa and Dylan,

[20:20] who, like, sent out an update to parents that includes pictures and

[20:24] things, and they just think, keep everybody safe and up to date, and I really appreciate

[20:28] that.

[20:28] So I think they did a great job.

[20:31] And Linda, did you want to say anything about, can I?

[20:33] My son had a great time this year, he named friends, he was a little upset as a duck, wasn't

[20:39] there.

[20:40] Oh, the spring duck?

[20:42] Yeah.

[20:43] He said, I saw the old man there, but can you ask the new man about the dog?

[20:50] That was a day one.

[20:52] Listen, that's in a ship like to know that certain questions need to be directed to certain people.

[20:58] It's huge.

[20:58] Right?

[20:59] It's like absolutely.

[21:00] Yeah.

[21:00] Like Sam never knows where to go.

[21:02] Yeah.

[21:03] He had to breathe out.

[21:04] Yeah.

[21:04] The next day was like, did the man ever reply to you?

[21:09] That's so gross to you.

[21:10] You're right.

[21:18] He said that last year, the duck got broken again, but something like that.

[21:29] But we'll put something on the repart committee.

[21:33] Oh, there we go.

[21:34] Yeah.

[21:34] Oh, I get it.

[21:36] All right.

[21:37] Well, we have a tradition and typically

[21:40] of adjoining meetings in memory of civilians

[21:45] who have passed away.

[21:49] And so what do these passed away, the beginning of August?

[21:55] And I only had the privilege of meeting him

[22:00] recently, when I got to sit with him in

[22:06] time as mayor,

[22:10] because, for what I know,

[22:13] you know,

[22:14] typically we would not

[22:25] enough to make.

[22:31] Yes, that was when he was going on. He was a long time there. Long time there.

[22:39] And he, in all the photographs of him, he had this sort of magnificent magnum PI mustache.

[22:47] And so just out of respect, when I carry around the clipboard to get signatures, I had to think of mustache. So you put on there. Because I wanted to just try and, you know,

[23:00] You know, absorb the message, right?

[23:03] And the commitment that he had to visual it.

[23:05] And when Joel was the mayor, and I was his deputy,

[23:09] often, when we were talking about things

[23:12] that were not necessarily going to be slammed

[23:14] down to decisions for the community,

[23:16] that were going to be difficult, right?

[23:17] Like, turning over water to sewer,

[23:19] or moving over water tank, or chickens, or whatever.

[23:23] We had a shorthand phrase, which was just

[23:26] what would he do?

[23:28] And that just meant, like, you do the thing that you know is right and, you know, and deal with the consequences.

[23:37] But you do it because you know what I'm trying to do anyway.

[23:40] Trish Teter, who, as a longtime resident of the village, wrote a really lovely remembrance, which I would like to read.

[23:51] So, my

[23:56] friend, Edward Woody, he needs his past away.

[23:58] Many of you knew Woody, and if he didn't have the privilege, I hope he'll take the time to learn about the remarkable man that he was.

[24:05] He was truly one of the architects of the Timway we know and love today.

[24:10] Without Woody's vision, perseverance, and leadership, there would be no Timway in person, particularly gardens.

[24:15] He totally invested himself and pressed back against many odds in bringing those projects to life.

[24:21] And though the building had stood for generations,

[24:26] we would have also not have our present typically

[24:29] Jones Hall with its welcome to show a more

[24:31] meeting room, and what he not championed that effort.

[24:34] These are just a few of the many lasting

[24:36] contributions he made during his years of service as

[24:39] Timbery's mayor, a position he held for more than 15 years.

[24:43] If you'd like to read more about what he's

[24:44] amazing legacy as an important part of Timbery's history,

[24:47] I encourage you to read timbery the making of a community.

[24:49] You can get a copy from the starter grid look if you can't find a copy at the library or it's a really general.

[24:55] Within is a bit more of the story of this man who's loved for his hometown really helped shape his future.

[25:01] Woody and his white and white important part of my husband, Bernie's life, end of the mind.

[25:06] And now, computer died.

[25:09] Shh.

[25:11] Okay.

[25:13] Point being.

[25:15] Woody is a really great man.

[25:16] And in particular, what Trisha's meeting

[25:20] was she says that, you know,

[25:23] tibi acres and tibi gardens, those

[25:25] were big projects of his tibi's population

[25:28] had shrunk to about 500 people by the mid-70s.

[25:34] Yeah, by about 1970.

[25:37] And because the transition closed, the high school

[25:40] of clothes, jobs had just left people

[25:43] to leave them the village in droves.

[25:44] And there was no longer the tax base to support the infrastructure that we have, right?

[25:50] Like it's amazing we have the water and sewer system that we do, because that has allowed us to grow in the way that we have in the way that many small communities can't, right?

[26:01] But that cost money to keep up.

[26:04] And so with the population being hacked, they just couldn't keep up.

[26:10] So it was woody who, you know, didn't what needed to be done so that the colleagues could

[26:16] be built so that the, that they were going to be built, thus building the population back

[26:22] up to where it is now.

[26:26] So if that had not happened, we wouldn't have been subsumed and we would, you know, we would

[26:40] Thank you very much.

[26:42] Thank you very much.

[26:43] And, uh, Lawrence is to his many friends.

[26:47] And, with that, I'm going to show you some of the paper.

[26:54] All right.

[26:55] All right.

[26:56] All right.

[26:58] Three seconds.
