It is now 7 o'clock in the Twinsburg

[0:19]
» Gina Hutter present.
>> Michael Walton present.
[0:23]
» Helen Mings present.
>> Patrick Jeffers present.
[0:28]
» And David Post is present. But he's up

[0:31]
» I was just looking to see if there was
any
[0:33]
» if anyone got um copies of
>> I mean they were sent out and I have
[0:37]
mine on my phone.
>> I know. Are they normally hear them?
[0:40]
» Usually that's okay.
>> It's okay.
[0:43]
» And then next we move on to the approval
of the minutes. We need to approve both
[0:46]
the October and the February minutes.
Are there any changes that need to be
[0:50]
made to the October minutes?
>> Are there any changes that need to be
[0:54]
made to the February minutes?
Then I would entertain a motion that we
[0:59]
accept both the October and February
minutes as submitted. Is there a
[1:04]
[clears throat] second?
>> Second.
[1:05]
» Seconded by Gina.
>> All those in favor of approving the
[1:09]
October and February minutes as
submitted, please say I.
[1:13]
» All oppose, please say nay.
>> Both minutes for October and February
[1:17]
are approved as submitted. Uh next there
are presentations and I don't think we
[1:22]
have anybody u there is nobody in the
audience unfortunately for audience
[1:26]
participation. So that brings us to
commissioner reports. Um we will start
[1:33]
want to start with Sean today. Why not
go left or right?
[1:36]
» Does Sean have anything today?
>> Is your microphone on? Just want to make
[1:40]
sure everyone's microphone.
>> Yep. It's on.
[1:43]
» John.
>> Um I have nothing other than it's nice
[1:46]
to be back and nice to see everyone.
Wonderful. Um, I will give a a short
[1:50]
commission report now because we have
new business unfinished and
[1:53]
miscellaneous later. [snorts] Um, just
three quick things here. Summit E-waste,
[1:57]
I know we've talked about that in the
past. Uh, Summit E-Waste offers drop
[2:01]
bins at the Metro Parks. Uh, one of them
is located at the Liberty Park uh, Metro
[2:06]
Park here in our city. And so if you
wanted to recycle cables, monitors,
[2:10]
batteries, laptops, and more, uh there
is a drop off bin at the uh Liberty Park
[2:15]
metrop parks along with a whole host of
others. More locations have been added
[2:19]
recently.
>> It's always there. It's always there.
[2:22]
» It is always there. It looks like it's
year round. You could learn more at this
[2:25]
link. I'm going to kind of try to
annunciate as best as possible. It is
[2:30]
bit t.
[2:34]
SLSMP
[2:38]
greener
future. So bit.lyward
[2:44]
slsMP
greener future and you could learn more
[2:48]
about it at that link.
The next sort of thing on my report, I
[2:54]
emailed it to all the commissioners, but
it is the wastewater treatment plant
[2:57]
tour. Um, after our last meeting, we we
asked if I could go reach out to Nate
[3:01]
about another tour. Um, working within
his schedule, in the confines of his
[3:05]
schedule. Uh, Wednesday, July 29th from
2 to 3:00 p.m. is is when he's free. And
[3:11]
so, if you're able to make it, that's
wonderful. But, as always, it's not
[3:15]
required if you've been or or you know,
you have other obligations. But
[3:18]
Wednesday, July 29th, 2 to 3:00 p.m. at
the wastewater treatment plant. We're
[3:24]
trying to bring some other people, some
community members. I think we set up to
[3:27]
10 people and that's what I told Nate.
We'll have a sign up at our Earth Day
[3:31]
Arbor Day event, but if you know of
community members would like to come, by
[3:35]
all means, you could either email me
their name and we'll just kind of keep a
[3:38]
running list going. That way, we could
kind of keep that that going.
[3:42]
» You could Did you um you could advertise
that on um just Twinsburg Talk?
[3:47]
» Absolutely, too. That's it's another
>> on the social media pages.
[3:50]
» It's another avenue. If we don't get
enough people by our Aubberday Earth
[3:53]
event, I'm sure we'll find
>> Yeah. the 10 by then. But I want to see
[3:57]
if we could get the sign up at that
Earth Day Arbory event.
[4:00]
» Are you capping it at 10?
>> Uh that is what I told Nate. But if we
[4:03]
have like an
>> Cuz he'll do more.
[4:05]
» Yeah, we have a crazy amount of people
that want to do it. I I'm sure he'd be
[4:08]
happy.
>> Yeah, they do. I think tons of kids at
[4:10]
one time.
>> We're setting a smart goal here. Smart,
[4:13]
you know.
>> No, agree 100%. I'm just saying if you
[4:15]
get more, I don't want you to cut people
off.
[4:16]
» No, absolutely. Absolutely.
>> Um and then this is really not related,
[4:20]
but the weather is starting to warm up
and I've seen a lot of children out in
[4:24]
the parks. um, you know, riding their
bikes. With that said, just, you know,
[4:27]
if you're out and about, make sure
you're kind of watching your
[4:29]
surroundings. And none of you would ever
speed, so just make sure you're kind of
[4:32]
watching that and, uh, cautioning your
surroundings because again, more
[4:37]
children are going to be out and about
and so be cautious of that. Uh, that's
[4:40]
all I have for my report. I'll talk
later, you know, in miscellaneous, new
[4:44]
business, all of that. So, we move on to
Gina for her report. Um, I just wanted
[4:49]
to say that I would love to have an
insert in the mailer and I I started
[4:55]
writing up some stuff and maybe we could
meet at some point because you had
[4:58]
mentioned that you wanted help with it.
So, ideas welcome and um I need to get
[5:04]
that to whom
is it my contact and do we have approval
[5:10]
for this to be put in as a as the mailer
or added? Uh Jenny would be your
[5:15]
» Jenny is the person
>> your marketing contact
[5:18]
» and is this something we need to get
permission from council to pay for or
[5:22]
anything like that budgeting wise
>> our budget comes from Rebecc Rebecca
[5:25]
Ziegler.
>> Yeah.
[5:26]
» So I you could add her on the email or
ask Rebecca Zagler. I could send you her
[5:30]
contact. But our budget comes from the
>> cost is so minimal that I don't think
[5:35]
you're going to get uh nobody's going to
say no to an insert to do good for the
[5:40]
community
>> just to be sure. be sure to post.
[5:43]
» No, I understand that. But I'm saying,
but it's it sounds like it um feels good
[5:49]
down there. Okay.
>> Yeah, absolutely.
[5:51]
» I wrote um something up. I'll share it.
I'll email it to you and tell me what
[5:55]
you think.
>> Yeah. Perfect. Okay.
[5:58]
» Anything else?
>> No, that's all I'm working on.
[6:00]
» All right, Michael.
>> Nothing to report.
[6:02]
» Absolutely. And then Helen,
>> nothing to report.
[6:04]
» All righty. And so with that, we now
move on to uh council report. We'll
[6:09]
start with you, Councilman Post. I I got
nothing.
[6:12]
» All right.
>> I have nothing. I think uh you cover all
[6:15]
the bases.
>> I I appreciate that.
[6:17]
» That's a compliment.
>> So then we move on to our engineering
[6:19]
report.
>> Nothing to add right now. Excited to see
[6:21]
your guys' trail maintenance project uh
on the agenda. Think that sounds
[6:24]
interesting.
>> Well, that you could thank parks and
[6:26]
rack for that. And your our
conversations the last meeting reminded
[6:30]
me that is something that helps with the
you called it points I think for the
[6:35]
» Yeah. Yeah. Or storm water annual report
that we put in. So, I thought thought we
[6:39]
could help out parks and wreck and
combine the commission's efforts and
[6:42]
work. Um, so with that, we now move on
to unfinished business, new business,
[6:46]
miscellaneous. I ask that we we talked
about kind of three things. First being
[6:51]
the award selection subcommittee. Uh, so
we just solicited nominations for our
[6:56]
good neighbor award. We had four or five
nominees um this year come in and and we
[7:03]
need to now have select three
individuals to serve on that sort of
[7:06]
subcommittee to narrow that four down to
top two where then ultimately we as a
[7:11]
commission would pick the top two at the
next meeting if that's still the route
[7:15]
we want to proceed as we had done last
year. Uh, I know Virginia is not here,
[7:19]
but she did want to be and serve on that
little subcommittee like we did last
[7:24]
year. And we could only have three of
those members on a subcommittee because
[7:27]
you do more than three. It becomes an
open public meeting at that point in
[7:31]
time.
>> Well, I'd be willing. I'd like to serve
[7:34]
on it as well like I did last year.
>> So, we have Virginia, we have Helen.
[7:38]
Would anybody else want to serve?
>> John. All right. So, we have Virginia,
[7:44]
Helen, and John. I'm okay with that. Is
everybody else okay with that?
[7:51]
» Shant new seconds that all in favor
please say I.
[7:54]
» I.
>> I.
[7:55]
» All opposed. All right. So, Virginia,
Helen, and John. Uh, what I will do, I
[8:00]
will blank out the names like I had done
last year. And so, it just simply says
[8:04]
name redacted, but you could then read
the entire rest of the nominee form.
[8:08]
I'll get the rubrics that we created
last year out to the three of you. Um,
[8:13]
and the three of you will coordinate
Virginia, John, and Helen time to meet
[8:16]
between now and before our next meeting
to go through.
[8:19]
» Okay.
>> Score them, look at all that, and
[8:21]
» you'll present kind of the top two
scoring people back with us at our next
[8:25]
meeting.
>> That's awesome. All right. Um,
[8:30]
are there any other questions or topics
on that award award selection? Anything
[8:35]
there from the commission?
All right. So, then Earth Day, Arbor
[8:39]
Day. Uh, I just had a couple updates. I
wanted to see if the commission had any
[8:43]
questions, if you guys had any ideas.
Um, but I did end up ordering a couple
[8:47]
of prizes and a small activity for us to
to do at the commission. Um, they are
[8:53]
in. I just asked Pat if he could hold on
to them here in the office instead of,
[8:57]
you know, us holding on to them until
then. Um, but I am going to follow up
[9:02]
with all the participants either this
week or next and say, "Hey, we're a
[9:07]
little over a month and a half out. Just
want to confirm you're still attending.
[9:11]
How many tables will you need? Here's
the setup time. It's 9:00 a.m. to 11.
[9:15]
Event runs 11 to 1 at the community
center. Any questions? Uh it does seem
[9:21]
there's a lot of eager participation.
Um we've had Journey Church reached out
[9:28]
to me and Director Bettinson asking if
they could somehow find a way to get
[9:32]
involved. They wanted to grill hot dogs
and burgers and add add a sense of
[9:38]
community and director Benton and I said
that sounds wonderful. Um you just need
[9:43]
to get a permit from the county to grill
at an event like this. So it seems like
[9:48]
they're moving forward with that and the
Girl Scouts just reached out to me to
[9:52]
talk about, you know, possibly
tableabling to talk about their
[9:55]
environmental badges and stuff like
that. And I said we we would welcome any
[10:00]
community partner and I did speak on
behalf of our commission for that.
[10:03]
» So is it 9 to 11 or is it 11 to 1?
>> The event is 11 to 1.
[10:08]
» Okay.
>> But we're we're running setup. So setup
[10:11]
is 9 to 11. Really setup is just putting
up the the tables and making sure all
[10:16]
that's set up there.
>> What did we run last year?
[10:19]
» We just had our table and the parks and
recck department set all the tables up.
[10:23]
They set everything up for us. We were
just responsible for our table.
[10:27]
What time did it run?
>> Oh, last year it ran was it 10 to noon?
[10:32]
» 10 to noon.
>> 10 to noon, I think.
[10:34]
» Okay. That's why we went
>> We went We pushed it an hour back. Yes.
[10:37]
» Because of people were came in late.
>> Yes. Yeah.
[10:40]
» That was that was Yeah.
>> I just wanted to make sure it was later
[10:45]
than last year.
>> Yes. Yeah. Because last year all the
[10:48]
people came in like the last hour and we
thought maybe it was just too early. So,
[10:53]
we pushed it from that 11 to one. If
[snorts] it's super busy and it works
[10:57]
wonderful this year, next year we could
talk about expanding the time because it
[11:01]
doesn't have to be two hours. But we
figure let's start with two and see how
[11:05]
it works.
>> But are there any questions, any
[11:08]
concerns? Anything else Arbor Day Earth
Day related? [snorts]
[11:13]
» No. All right. And then the last thing
um is the trail cleanup with parks and
[11:17]
wreck. Uh I got a message from director
Benson and Andy. He is a member of the
[11:22]
parks and recck commission. He wanted to
he had an idea in their commission
[11:26]
meeting about uh doing a trail cleanup
and I believe Councilman Post attended
[11:32]
this so if I miss anything or or you
know misquote him Post can correct me
[11:36]
but they'd like to do a trail cleanup
around the city of Twinsburg. They
[11:40]
talked about combining it with Arbor
Day. Personally I think that might be
[11:44]
too much in one day um to try and
combine a trail cleanup with Arbor Day
[11:48]
and I think it might be better to do it
after the fact so we could get more
[11:52]
community members involved. That's my
personal opinion, but he's thinking
[11:56]
about cleaning up downed branches,
picking up trash, dealing with overgrown
[12:01]
brush, and then ultimately repainting
and blazing the trail. He his idea is
[12:06]
either a oneanddone scenario where you
do like, I don't know, a park or all of
[12:11]
the trails at once or a single trail at
a time. And this becomes a sort of
[12:16]
repeating recurrent event. Um, TNHA
Virginia had said she'd be happy to help
[12:22]
and TNHA could have would be happy to
volunteer. Um, but that's all I sort of
[12:27]
have here and I told Andy and Director
Benton said I'd bring it to us as a
[12:30]
commission to hear your thoughts.
>> Well, my husband's on the rec board, the
[12:36]
commission. So, he also was telling me
about it and um I'm like, "Yeah, if if
[12:42]
we don't do it, I'll help you." So,
sounds good to us. It's fine with us.
[12:48]
Yeah.
>> Do we?
[12:49]
» But I thought they picked a different
day. I I don't remember. I thought I he
[12:55]
they had a different day picked.
>> Yeah. My my email with him, he said it
[13:00]
was originally about Arbor Day, Earth
Day. Um
[13:04]
and possibly combining it. And I I
simply responded, I'll talk with the
[13:08]
commission, but it might be too much to
combine it with that one day.
[13:11]
» I think about a different day. Um
because we're doing that Arbor Day in
[13:15]
April. Yes, April 25th.
>> Why couldn't we pick some May, June?
[13:20]
» May, June. That was my thought as well.
Especially if you want to get the
[13:24]
community involved. It's a lot to ask
the community to come to our event and
[13:27]
then later
>> to come back out to also clean up the
[13:31]
trail.
>> And if we're doing one thing, that
[13:34]
doesn't mean we can do two things
simultaneously,
[13:36]
» right?
>> Um, and who knows what the weather is a
[13:39]
lot more sketchy in April in Cleveland
than if we postponed it a couple weeks.
[13:44]
We can advertise it at Arbor Day.
>> Absolutely.
[13:47]
» Um I I think get the word out there
because you have similar people.
[13:53]
» I think they just have to decide what
they want though.
[13:56]
» I mean there's multiple trails. Are you
going to pick a group and assign them a
[14:00]
trail? Are you going to focus on one
trail?
[14:02]
» Right.
>> They just have to decide what they want.
[14:04]
» It sounds like they're going to take the
lead on this and they just they we are
[14:08]
and I always brag about us council
councilman postass. We're a very active
[14:12]
commission and so I believe they asked
us because they can rely on us to help
[14:17]
and show up and if we're able to and
willing, they know we'd be there. Um,
[14:22]
which is why I I wanted to see what our
thoughts are. We wanted to do an allin
[14:26]
one and done or if we want to make this
maybe a recurring thing
[14:30]
» with the parks recurring.
>> I think it should be recurring.
[14:33]
» Okay.
>> I think it should be like we did our
[14:34]
Arbor Day last year. Like maybe if
they're starting this this year, pick
[14:39]
one trail. Pick the trail that goes from
Dodge over to Glenwood. That's a pretty
[14:44]
long trail. There's stuff whatever they
could do. Pick that. How well how does
[14:49]
that work? And then decide, okay, we're
going to maybe branch out. Maybe do two
[14:53]
next year or something like that.
>> Okay. So,
[14:57]
» or even make it once a month in the
summer.
[14:59]
» Yeah.
>> Or like the first Saturday of every
[15:01]
month. Here's the trail, you know, that
we're going to meet at. Come if you can.
[15:05]
» Oh, I do like that. like a once a month
trail cleanup doesn't sound terrible
[15:10]
either because that way it's a come if
you can.
[15:12]
» Yeah.
>> Also keeps it fresh in people's minds.
[15:14]
» That's true. Yeah. It's a once a month
advertise well in advance, but it's it's
[15:18]
not too much where it's it's
overburdening. I I like that. Um, I
[15:23]
because I told Andy, obviously I can't
volunteer the commission to to do
[15:27]
everything and uh I I feel like I
volunteer us for a lot of stuff in the
[15:31]
community already, but I I told him I'd
be happy to have this conversation and
[15:35]
send back what we talk about. But it
sounds like we're happy to to help out a
[15:40]
little bit if we can and they just need
to decide when it would be, but we would
[15:44]
prefer May or June a recurring maybe
once a month event. Am I Am I
[15:50]
» hearing that right?
That's good.
[15:52]
» Starting in May, we'll advertise in
>> the um Earth Day activity
[15:56]
» or even beginning, mid and end of
summer,
[15:59]
» right?
>> Both like even just three times for the
[16:02]
whole season.
>> Three time whole season
[16:04]
» versus like five or six once a month. I
think
[16:08]
» you know three time
middle and end is more than enough. I
[16:14]
don't think you need
>> absolutely
[16:16]
» five for the whole I don't know. I'm
just thinking alone.
[16:18]
» Yeah.
>> And certainly if 35 people come, you can
[16:20]
say, "Hey, our second choice, anybody
who has a car, if you're interested, go
[16:25]
to this path or whatever. It's not that
big of a deal."
[16:28]
» Yeah,
>> we'll figure it out.
[16:30]
» So, okay, I will let Andy and Director
Benton know that. Um, that brings us to
[16:35]
the the remainder of kind of
miscellaneous. Is there any other uh
[16:38]
miscellaneous conversation items for new
business? Alan, anything other
[16:43]
miscellaneous?
>> Nothing. Nothing that I can think of.
[16:47]
» Michael, anything other miscellaneous?
>> Nothing for me.
[16:49]
» Gina,
>> do we have a shredding day date?
[16:52]
» We do.
>> Can you tell me? Remind me so I can put
[16:55]
it up.
>> Is June 27th from 9:00 a.m. to noon at
[17:01]
the public works department.
There are two trucks. Yes, two trucks
[17:07]
» on that same day.
>> Nice.
[17:10]
» So,
>> last year want to make sure I get it
[17:12]
right.
>> And uh I did hear they are going to be
[17:15]
planning on checking resident IDs uh at
it this year. So make sure
[17:20]
» Twinsburg residents only. So yes,
>> we don't have uh people from neighboring
[17:24]
communities filling up the trucks before
Twinsburg residents are able to.
[17:27]
» But June 27th, 9 to noon, public works,
two trucks, resident IDs, no more than
[17:33]
six bags or boxes if we're keeping
standard from last year.
[17:38]
» Um
It was raining. We were just getting out
[17:43]
of there.
>> Anything else miscellaneous?
[17:47]
» I don't think so.
>> Councilman Post.
[17:50]
» So, I I still think that uh it's a
really good idea to advertise the
[17:55]
schools. I'm not saying necessarily,
Jonah, that you need to do it. Uh, but I
[17:59]
really think that if we advertise in the
schools for the Arbor Day event, you
[18:03]
know, with just that flyer,
my opinion, I think that that is a huge
[18:09]
marketing grab to get the kids and their
families. It's an easy way to get it out
[18:13]
there. It's something for the mom to do
with the kid in the morning. Um, the kid
[18:18]
shows interest, then,
you know, mom's going to bring the kid
[18:22]
and really it's us educating the kids
really, right? So, I I still think that
[18:26]
that in my opinion is a is a score. Um,
if you guys disagree, that's fine. But,
[18:32]
if you were going to do that, you would
need I don't know if we talked about
[18:35]
last meeting. I don't know if there was
anything from last meeting to this
[18:37]
meeting.
>> I'm just throwing out my two cents with
[18:40]
that that I I
>> I think that's easy because it's just
[18:44]
» someone passes them out in schools.
>> Does the commission Did you guys receive
[18:48]
the flyer that was created for this
event or was it just me and you on it?
[18:52]
» No, just me. I didn't get a flyer.
>> I will forward it to all of you.
[18:55]
Director Bettinson of parks and wreck.
She created the flyer for this event.
[18:58]
And so
>> it basically it's last year's recycle
[19:01]
just logos changed, but it says, you
know, environmental commission, parks
[19:04]
and rack, watershed partners. It shows
all the different partners for this
[19:08]
event on the flyer. And so I'll forward
that to you. I thought I sent it. I
[19:12]
apologize. So
>> did you add the new
[19:16]
attendees like Girl Scouts and Journey
Church?
[19:19]
» No, it just has like I think the big
four. So, like us, parks and rack,
[19:22]
watershed, um, and I think Metro I think
are the big four.
[19:26]
» But it doesn't have all the tables
listed of who's
[19:28]
» it doesn't have every single one now.
And I could easily go in if we wanted to
[19:32]
and like add those in the top.
>> No, it's not.
[19:34]
» Don't we have the gardening club?
>> Club. They're I think they're a big poll
[19:39]
and
>> they might be the fourth. They might be
[19:41]
the fourth. Yeah, [clears throat]
>> I know there's four for sure, but I will
[19:43]
forward that to you and so forward to
commission writing a note to myself. But
[19:48]
that could be the flyer we just send
right away to the schools. Start
[19:52]
pre-made.
>> Save some work.
[19:53]
» And you guys don't have to do it. Again,
that was just my suggestion.
[19:56]
» Well, even if we just email it to the
principles and the PTAs and we say,
[19:59]
"Hey,
>> event, can you get this out?" The word
[20:02]
out,
many of us on here work at schools. We
[20:05]
know that that's a great way to get word
out,
[20:07]
» right,
>> through PTA and the the principles.
[20:09]
» Oh, I think yeah, that they can put it
out. They could PTA could put it on
[20:14]
their Facebook page. The principal at
least a Will Cox
[20:18]
she that he he sent she sends out um
like once a week something a little
[20:23]
thing or they could put it on parent
square or whatever.
[20:27]
» Right. So that's Thank you. That was
that was a welltimed reminder. So
[20:32]
» and and I have one more thing. Um I
think when it comes to that trail
[20:36]
cleanup I I think it is a great idea. Um
you know I I know that you guys um you
[20:43]
know
not that there's a right or wrong. I I
[20:46]
think that it would be okay to let parks
and le wreck run that you guys are so
[20:50]
involved in so many things and have your
hands in so many things that you know I
[20:54]
almost think like it's great that to
invite you as it is related but you know
[20:59]
maybe let them take the lead on it you
know so that way they got their hands on
[21:05]
something you guys got the good
neighbors award you guys got this you
[21:08]
got that you got all these things going
on you've got all these events you've
[21:11]
got I don't know I think that you know
Absolutely. I
[21:16]
» I would let them take the lead on it
personally and then you guys can say,
[21:22]
"Hey, when is it?" We'll be happy to
show up because we just want to do it
[21:25]
because we individually think it's a
good idea.
[21:28]
» You know,
>> that's that's why I ask for feedback.
[21:31]
I'll
>> I'm giving you that's my feedback.
[21:33]
» I'll let I'll let Andy know our our
feedback, but like I said, it's I think
[21:37]
Parks and Rack is taking the lead on
this. We
[21:40]
» I I volunteer for a lot as is in the
fall, all the years, but this was their
[21:45]
event. They they brought it forward. So,
we'd be happy, I think, to help. We can,
[21:50]
but I don't know that we need to run the
trail cleanup. So,
[21:54]
» yeah,
>> just supporting it is different than
[21:57]
running it.
>> And if they can take our feedback, they
[21:59]
don't have to, but I will provide it to
>> invite you and if you're able, you show
[22:02]
up.
>> Yes.
[22:04]
So again, happy I always happy to try to
tell, but I will give them the feedback
[22:08]
the commission that recurring event once
a month and you know, probably not
[22:12]
starting on a a Arbor Day because it's
probably not the best day to start and
[22:16]
if they take it, they take it. If they
don't, they don't. So that's that's what
[22:20]
I could do. Anything else, Councilman?
>> That's it. I thank you.
[22:26]
» Gina, did you have anything else
miscellaneous?
[22:28]
» No, I don't.
>> I have nothing else miscellaneous, Sean.
[22:31]
Anything else? Johnson. Nothing else.
All right. So then we move on to
[22:35]
excusing absent members. Uh I move that
we excuse Virginia Schmidt. Is there a
[22:41]
second?
>> John seconds. All those in favor, please
[22:44]
say I.
>> I.
[22:45]
» All oppose, please say nay.
>> Virginia is excused. Our next meeting
[22:49]
date is April 7th, 2026 at 7 p.m. And we
as a commission will decide the good
[22:54]
neighbor award out of the top two
nominees. Um and before we adjourn,
[22:59]
councilman post. Uh, I think for this
commission, I wrote it down here. I I
[23:04]
don't recall if everyone is returning um
for I think some people's applications
[23:10]
were up. Um, and so I just want to
address that here just to bring it up
[23:14]
real quick. I think that we're going to
be starting interviews uh soon. The
[23:18]
deadline was we extended the deadline
already once. Whose terms are up? All
[23:24]
right. And I don't I I think two of the
three of you are returning. And was it
[23:28]
Are all three of you planning on
returning? I had turned it off.
[23:32]
» I I applied
>> three times I put it in.
[23:34]
» Okay. Cuz I thought I saw that. I just
wanted to bring it up cuz I thought I
[23:39]
saw Sean knew that it said that I'm
going to have to double check, but I
[23:43]
thought I saw that it said that you were
not reapplying unless I read that wrong.
[23:48]
No, that's why I brought it.
>> I couldn't apply for it. So, I sent an
[23:52]
email
and I they
[23:56]
there was somebody I think either
Shanner or somebody said they received
[23:59]
my application because I tried
submitting it then I tried signing in
[24:04]
would let me. So, I sent an email.
>> Okay. Then I'm going to have to go
[24:07]
because I wrote notes on all the
committees and who's coming back and I
[24:11]
just want to bring it up to make sure
that if you did want to return
[24:15]
» that you did reply. I thought it was I I
thought I saw you guys. I really was
[24:19]
addressing that really to to you cuz I
thought and I might have miss seen or
[24:24]
maybe it was two weeks ago and maybe you
did it in the last two weeks and maybe
[24:28]
that was the difference. I just want to
make sure
[24:30]
» he had sent me an application about he
had sent me an a text and I'm like look
[24:36]
I tried applying and I sent an email
through the website look
[24:41]
» how do I get you know because I tried
signing in I couldn't so
[24:46]
» yeah so may maybe it's been within the
past two weeks or I don't know
[24:53]
» yeah maybe I'm I'm trying to find the
email but it doesn't matter as long as
[24:56]
you you replied to Shannon and she knows
and she confirmed that you're good, then
[25:02]
you're on. Well, then you have
reapplied. Yes. I I just
[25:06]
» like I said, I just wanted to make sure.
>> Okay.
[25:09]
» Cuz I thought I saw that not everybody
responded.
[25:12]
» I know those that deadline was extended
till March
[25:16]
7th, something around there.
>> I actually thought it was last Friday,
[25:19]
but it might be but it might be this
Friday, but I thought it was last
[25:22]
Friday. Just two weeks from
>> week.
[25:24]
» Oh, might might have been. Okay.
>> But we could always extend it.
[25:27]
» Huh? It was Shannon Collins.
>> Yeah, Shannon Collins is who you would
[25:31]
reach out to. When did you reach out to
her? Was it just recently?
[25:35]
» Yeah, it was
[25:41]
» trying to figure out.
>> Okay. Well, if it was just this week,
[25:43]
for example, that's probably
>> February 7th or something.
[25:47]
» Okay. We're We're all good then. Okay.
>> All right.
[25:50]
» We're all good. That's great.
>> And any other miscellaneous?
[25:54]
» No.
>> All right. So, our next meeting date
[25:56]
will be April 7th, 2026, 7 p.m. here in
Twinsburg Government Center. We'll
[26:01]
decide on the Good Neighbor Award there.
Um, and then presented at council in the
[26:05]
May uh meeting. I have to double check
with council president Bellin, but I've
[26:10]
spoken once with him. He seems, you
know, okay with that again. Um, and so
[26:16]
with that, we will adjourn the meeting
at 7:26.
