including the closed session would be
[2:50] the Town Board DPW director and town
clerk with the town attorney available
[2:55] by telephone the public spring rather
first of all their referendum
[3:26] I signed a petition for a referendum it
was a big mistake it was my mistake
[3:30] because I violated my number one
cardinal rule never signed nothing
[3:34] unless you know what you're saying and
there was no copy of the wording and a
[3:38] referendum no explanation for other than
they wanted a non-binding referendum
[3:44] after checking us out and I'm sure
there's other citizens and did the same
[3:49] thing this never should have been signed
it's non-binding
[3:53] the issues already done this has been on
the agenda for a couple years
[3:58] that pushed it out I think it is
seriously politically motivated and
[4:05] after the candidate forum for the people
that were basically behind this
[4:10] referendum didn't even show up
I seriously have the doubts about it
[4:15] that's just how I feel about it if I
went under here opinions I want to hear
[4:19] people talk there six candidates every
one of you is an individual running for
[4:24] an individual position the opposition
are the new candidates pickups and
[4:56] that's about 60% of the population uses
pickup I think a few other options
[5:01] should be put up spring and fall not for
each one it also said that why should I
[5:10] pay for something that I don't use have
you paid your taxes lately I'd be 60% of
[5:16] my property taxes for the school board I
hadn't had a kid in the school for 25
[5:19] years there's a million things that you
pay for that everybody doesn't use and
[5:24] sixty percent of the population uses
depend up I think that's a pretty good
[5:27] return on it but options should have
been put off maybe a one-week pickup in
[5:32] a spring or the fall all the way to
yours
[5:35] or definitely a drop-off spot for the
residents that take their brush
[5:40] personally and drop it off someplace
that it can be utilized that way that
[5:44] would be fine and it comes to saving
money for the town I have been tracking
[5:50] this since 2009 I get all my numbers out
of the town budgets here and they're
[5:55] pretty close but since 2009
[Applause]
[6:12] in the past three years forty-four
thousand and seventeen dollars went to
[6:16] support the park and rec this last year
they didn't even have enough notice not
[6:27] against the park and rec as it is it was
originally set up to be a self funded by
[6:34] town board decision why this has going
on and it's gotten worse and worse as
[6:38] time
[6:44] sixty percent of my tax play that goes
to the high schools they charge per
[6:52] sports or whatever they sign up for I
looked on the Mukwonago website that's a
[6:57] hundred dollars a class I see you've got
sixty dollars and fifty dollars for
[7:01] people to sign up and that's for
residents and we do support many
[7:05] neighboring communities in the park and
rec today coming here I think it's about
[7:10] time that the target rect was made to
follow the original Edict of
[7:14] self-supporting or just close to it and
that doesn't even include it what I
[7:19] found here the DPW expenses to help the
park comes up to about $20,000 a year
[7:25] for further help to it I don't know if
it's all for the park and rec department
[7:30] but it's it's still a cost it's on the
budget and I just think that it's about
[7:36] time that that should be doing and let's
see what else I got here the Park and
[7:43] Rec director salary any average is 75
percent of the expenses that leaves you
[7:51] know it's supposed to be for the kids
and everything is 25 percent going for
[7:54] the programs and the kids is that right
I don't know I don't know of them any
[7:59] any place could afford to have somebody
getting 75 percent of the funds for a
[8:04] management position and the it's like
these scams for charities when they pay
[8:10] back 10% on a dollar although this
a little better that 25% but I think
[8:15] this has got to be bought in line thanks
Keith
[8:23] any other public comments any other
public comments yeah I go ahead and
[8:33] speak now dan dan frsky actually I live
in Waukesha
[8:43] Waukesha I want to thank this war for
allowing me to be here and speak on
[8:48] behalf of the Fox River Bandits would
also like to acknowledge two of our
[8:52] members Josh Anderson he's a assistant
coach as well as a Vernon resident and
[8:59] then Nicole Purcell she's a member of
our organization
[9:03] her son is part of our organization and
she's also a Vernon resident used to
[9:12] quick short history of the Fox River
Bandits we've been around now for eight
[9:15] years when a group of dads felt the
Select baseball programs were going in
[9:21] the wrong direction and wanted to create
the best baseball experience for their
[9:24] kids I took over the organization this
last year so this is my first year of
[9:32] bringing the organization together we
weren't really a formal organization we
[9:37] didn't have any formal bylaws we weren't
officially a nonprofit organization this
[9:44] last year we went through the process of
forming a non-profit we're working on
[9:49] completing our 501 C 3 tax exempt status
as well our mission is to teach sound
[9:56] baseball fundamentals alongside
character development and then teach
[10:00] important life skills such as leadership
adversity resilience grit courage and
[10:06] loyalty many things that I learned as
well when I served in the military for
[10:10] eight years
we are completely by volunteers and no
[10:14] one coaches or directors that are part
of our organization receive any
[10:18] compensation for the time and energy we
put into or
[10:22] organization we currently have two teams
where in the past we've had three teams
[10:27] we've been recruiting quality coaches to
expand our program for the next year and
[10:31] hopefully for years to come in which
we're hoping that Josh will soon take
[10:36] over his own team we've also been in
conversations with Mike's lucky the
[10:39] director of Parks and Rec and have
discussed developing a feeder program so
[10:45] that we can take some of their best
players as well and help their programs
[10:49] grow as well as our programs so
developing a strong select baseball
[10:53] program together a fund raising fund
region accounts for a large portion of
[10:58] our revenue needed to pay for equipment
field rental maintenance improvements
[11:03] things that we've been working here in
in partnership with the town of Vernon
[11:07] another operating Constance is indoor
facilities tournaments and so on our
[11:13] fundraising efforts allow us to keep the
fee to members low compared to other
[11:16] select and travel baseball programs we
currently charge $700 a family we're
[11:21] another program that's very similar to
ours charges upwards of eighteen hundred
[11:26] dollars that's probably the next lowest
that you're gonna find and that's
[11:31] probably where a lot of the parks and
recs kids are going and playing in those
[11:35] select programs and it's going to
continue to rise in the select programs
[11:41] however because of our fundraising
efforts we're gonna continue to focus on
[11:46] keeping our our costs low and it's not
about the money for us we're not trying
[11:50] to turn this into a baseball business
where we're moving kids you know into
[11:56] trying to be the number one draft pick
we want them to develop the fundamentals
[12:00] of baseball and do it at a way that is
fun and gives them the best the best
[12:07] shot at making high school teams that's
ultimately our goal is to help them get
[12:11] down get into high school teams we have
developed an tiered sponsorship program
[12:15] for local businesses to support our
fundraising efforts and I can I can
[12:19] share a copy with that of that with you
if you'd like to see a copy of that it's
[12:23] also available on our website Fox River
Bandits org as you can see on that sheet
[12:34] we have the different sponsorship levels
from 150 dollars all the way to 2,000
[12:40] dollars for local businesses and where
the town comes in and where we're
[12:47] sharing we would like to talk about
sharing some of our revenue our
[12:51] sponsorship revenue is when it comes in
to hanging banners on our fences so we
[12:56] have we have two sizes of banners a
three by five banner and then a four by
[13:00] eight banner and you see that there are
various timelines that are included in
[13:05] that based on the the dollar amount that
they would give to us our fundraising
[13:11] efforts help us help the town of Vernon
to through our field rental fees we rent
[13:17] the westfield down here on the other
side of the fences exclusively for our
[13:24] season which runs beginning of April
through the end of or the end the end of
[13:29] July first couple weeks of August and
that's when our banners would be hung as
[13:33] well the beginning of April through the
second usually the second week of August
[13:38] when we have tryouts for our next season
we've also been partnering with John the
[13:43] DPW director to make significant field
improvements and we're actually using a
[13:48] lot of the money that we are raising to
help with those costs so for example we
[13:52] are going to be purchasing a quad axle
of dirt to put on the field so that the
[14:01] field continues to be one of the premier
playing fields in the year in the area
[14:06] we've also partnered with John - he's
helped us clean out some of the the
[14:12] stuff around the fence and we rebuilt
the field so that we can have a nice
[14:17] field to play on we're also going to be
working with a local sign maker to help
[14:21] fund some signage replacement for
Hackett to replace some of the Hackett
[14:26] field signs so that it look nice as well
so when guests come to the town of
[14:30] Vernon they know that this is the one of
the best places to come play baseball
[14:35] and we have a list of things that we've
been working with him on if you'd like
[14:39] to see a list of that as well I can
share that with you
[14:46] this is just sort of our it's not
necessarily a wish list but it's some
[14:50] things that that obviously need to keep
down and Johnny's you hear these like
[14:53] you just talk we're talking about some
of the things that need to get done and
[14:57] you can see there what we agreed to the
V stands for Vernon and FRB obviously
[15:02] stands for Fox River Bandits and what
we're what we're working with we're also
[15:06] gonna be purchasing things like clay to
help because if you look at the batter's
[15:10] boxes they're they're not playable so we
need to install new clay and things like
[15:15] cutting around the fences and the
infield violent we've already done that
[15:18] we did that in the fall thanks to John
and his team for for helping us get that
[15:23] all squared away there's some other
things there that you'll see that are
[15:28] part of the part of future you know we'd
love to expand build nice dugouts at
[15:35] some point for for the team as well but
that's all going to come through our own
[15:38] fund raising and supporting the town so
part of again part of that revenue we
[15:43] would give back through making the field
better for the town okay and working
[15:48] obviously with you the board and John to
make sure that this comes to fruition as
[15:55] of right now we have seven paid banner
sponsors seven paid banner sponsors
[15:59] which amounts to two thousand dollars
raised our fee to print those banners
[16:03] with tax at this time is going to run
four hundred and seventy eight dollars
[16:07] and a little bit of change we originally
had proposed to Mike's alecky a 5% of
[16:13] our banner fee so bright hours we sold
mostly the 250 banners $250 sponsorship
[16:20] and we proposed originally a 5% Mike
came back with 15% and I had said and
[16:26] agreed to settling at 10% if you'd like
to see the email communication between
[16:32] Mike and I'm happy to share that with
you that that where it says Mike would
[16:36] bring that to you guys I know you guys
discuss 15% last time but I I feel that
[16:41] with all the work that we're partnering
on and how much we're investing in the
[16:45] field
I think 10% is really a fair amount
[16:47] based off of what we're renting your
fence defense space for we're we're
[16:53] going to maintain them we'll put them up
we'll take them down
[16:56] if there
any damages to them will replace the
[16:59] banner at our expense
all we are asking is to use defense
[17:03] space basically renting the square
footage to hang our banners our goal at
[17:10] the end of the at the end of this is to
have recurring sponsorship so this
[17:14] creates not only a revenue stream for us
but also helps the Parks and Rec revenue
[17:19] stream or the town I know I think Karen
mentioned last time that you guys have
[17:23] to vote on where that money goes you can
allocate that for the Parks and Rec or
[17:27] wherever we would love for it to go to
parks are incredibly important
[17:34] especially for providing a quality of
life for its taxpayers but we want to
[17:40] make sure that where we have this
recurring revenue so after year one
[17:44] we're gonna reappraise and they'll have
to pay again that 250 again and then you
[17:51] would get a portion of that okay if we
can't would like to show you the some of
[17:58] the banners that we have go ahead so
these are three of the local businesses
[18:05] that have agreed to sponsor us
the first one is Dakota drywall at a New
[18:15] Berlin 3x5 and then the next one is rule
mutual insurance so I know you have a
[18:22] lot of rule rule harm homes out here and
in farmland this is a great insurance
[18:31] company and then also Infiniti exteriors
Infiniti roofing a great another great
[18:38] local business that has agreed to
sponsor us now we if you go to our
[18:41] website Fox River van org you'll see the
additional sponsors but I can tell you
[18:48] that who they are if you're interested
in knowing those
[19:03] we also have complete towing blue Mel's
blue Mel's gardening on track overhead
[19:12] door scream at kibbutz Kia counting out
of out of Waukesha and then L two custom
[19:17] engraving as well and again one of the
things that I know came up in the last
[19:22] meeting that I watched online was
talking about the CBD organization and I
[19:29] will harm to you today that as the
president of this organization Fox River
[19:33] Bandits I will never ever take any
fundraising from an organization like
[19:38] that regardless of how someone feels
about it that does not promote health
[19:43] safety and welfare with my kids and I
don't want my boys that are or girls you
[19:49] know loved to have a softball program to
it some someday but that does not
[19:54] promote healthy living especially as
young athletes wanting to get get into
[20:00] high school programs so I'm happy to
answer any questions that you may have
[20:04] of us at this time okay all right thanks
Dan there any other public comments
[20:21] public comments if not moving on to
miscellaneous matters advertising
[20:27] sponsorship policy why don't I read what
the attorney Macy said on this before we
[20:33] start discussion this is a Polly
decision although in my brief reviewing
[20:37] the changes to the policy has shown in
the packet I do not note any major
[20:40] concerns you do not see how the policy
even has changed the laws of town to
[20:45] allow other groups other than the town
to sell banner space and the fences or
[20:50] like the opportunity to work with the
supervisor and the town clerk to put the
[20:53] policy in a better form to protect the
town other considerations for the Town
[20:57] Board include who is paying for the
signs is the 15% of the payment gross or
[21:01] net what are the minimums that the group
must donate in order to be eligible does
[21:05] group need to make these donations
yearly etc the Town Board can adopt the
[21:10] policy
subject to the town supervisor working
[21:12] with the town clerk and town attorney
pretty the same in into final form and
[21:18] put a copy of the final form the next
packet or the town working table the
[21:21] matter until next meeting for the same
to be put in final form basically what
[21:27] Macey is concerned about is how do we if
we allow this group what's to stop the
[21:34] next group saying I want to do this and
a I've worked a couple hours out in the
[21:38] field that's the potential time for me
you know so he wants to try to just nail
[21:43] down these matters a little more
subjectively instead of beings kind of
[21:48] objectively to it he was also kind of
concerned that you realize what we're
[21:53] trying to do but at the same time this
probably might be better on the facility
[21:58] use policy or creating a whole new
rental agreement policy but he thinks we
[22:06] can I says unlikely we're gonna have
other groups coming forward requesting
[22:11] this at this time that we could work out
something in this advertising
[22:15] sponsorship policy not to exceed an
hour's worth the time of myself Karen
[22:22] and him worked on it what's what's the
timeframe for for placement of these I
[22:27] did talk to Dan and he had said that if
the Town Board wanted to to defer this
[22:31] to the 21st have the policy in order and
approve the signs that would still work
[22:35] for them and maybe Dan would have a few
more signs that you'd want to approve
[22:39] but he did say that if you could do
everything by the 21st that would work
[22:43] for them also is that know who's gonna
be enough time for you to basically get
[22:49] a policy in place and have it reviewed
by a supervisor Jeff Milly's has already
[22:56] you know talked to me about some of the
changes he wants supervisor bill Craig
[23:00] has a couple of clerical things he would
like to correct we get I'm sure Jeff
[23:04] what do you think we could get this done
and John said it wouldn't be any more
[23:08] than an hour yeah hopefully yeah
[23:15] moenay's and myself will do all the work
and then he'll just correct okay I don't
[23:21] have a problem with it if we can work
out a policy
[23:24] with regard to the town protection in
regard to the that the questions that he
[23:31] rises raises here you know that I think
it's a great idea and that's it's it's
[23:38] not that we're hurtin for for
sponsorship we haven't received any
[23:44] sponsorship money at all from any other
source you know so and John John would
[23:51] be you'd have to work with John probably
in order to you have any questions
[23:56] regarding this John no I I've talked
with him a little bit about or he had
[24:02] planned and I don't think I don't see a
problem with what you know as far as
[24:05] banners on there you know you brought up
as far as wind and stuff sighs I think
[24:10] that for you my thighs would be fine on
that fencing I don't think it's gonna be
[24:14] an issue for you know so was it not
space right next to each other right you
[24:17] spread them out a little bit yeah you'll
be fine so yeah and one of the things
[24:20] the attorney and supervisor Milly's that
indicated is the facts River Bandits do
[24:26] an awful lot for the town so we can
substantiate all that they've done and
[24:30] all that you know and and protect
another group saying well you know let's
[24:34] just piggyback on them they I'm sure if
they did what the max River Bandits did
[24:39] it'd be different but they do an awful
lot for our tone ya know it's more
[24:43] worried about another group coming in
saying and we would do this also and
[24:47] yeah we work on your field for a couple
hours
[24:50] [Music]
[24:59] there's great so far now you might a lot
of speaking chewy so the and we also do
[25:07] pay a usage fee so we do pay to rent the
field as well well you know so no more
[25:13] home games occur between April and in
August we pay the town to use the field
[25:20] as well this asked about a yearly duties
seem like they're gonna be continual
[25:28] sponsorships for the for the banners
that's the goal yes so that would be a
[25:32] ten percent yearly coming to town next
year next year would be two fifty and
[25:50] you would receive another ten percent as
well so it would be an annual revenue
[25:54] stream of sponsorships and we will
obviously want more sponsorships because
[25:59] it not only helps us but it clearly
helps the town you know with its parks
[26:04] park and rec needs and hopefully we can
you know fix the 7525 by helping the
[26:12] town plus the fact that they as he
stated they paid they pay to rent those
[26:18] fields yeah
just a quick question Jeff you're more
[26:22] in tune with Park and Rec then than we
are
[26:25] would this have any interference with
the town programs in regard to baseball
[26:29] like t-ball and anything like that would
know it has it okay interfere okay
[26:34] that's that's that's a question it might
come up from somebody might say you know
[26:39] is there going to be a possibility of
conflict and who's going to get priority
[26:42] over the use of fields and things like
that okay you know our programs to our
[26:54] more geared towards a little the teeny
was a t-ball and coach pitch and you
[26:58] need just like Dan said that's not
working I just want to clarify so in
[27:02] case there's a question comes out I was
one of the first concerns we had when we
[27:06] allow fans to come in and make sure
wasn't the interfere with our programs
[27:09] and Mike made it all work out words okay
not an issue
[27:12] that was a question I had what's the age
range of the people that you allow in
[27:17] your group right now right now we have
two teams we have a 11 year old team so
[27:21] it's ten eleven year olds and then a
twelve year old team which are made up
[27:25] of eleven twelve year olds and each each
team right now has twenty has eleven
[27:30] boys so a total of 22 families are part
of our program next year we would like
[27:35] to start building another team a seven
eight year old team as well okay we are
[27:42] looking to expand the age range okay and
again if we expand our program and if we
[27:49] can figure out a relationship with Mike
and in the Parks and Rec that's
[27:54] additional revenue that will be
providing cuz we'll need more space
[27:58] we'll need to rent the fields again have
you
[28:00] odd question but have you priced this
out which you've got here for a list of
[28:04] things you're gonna do with that field
looked pretty expensive for some of this
[28:08] stuff but yes based on what we've done
[28:15] and that's the special fielder member
they call it palette of clay it's gonna
[28:23] cost us about a thousand bucks
to do that and we're doing all the labor
[28:28] for that we're not asking the town
there's a couple things that they've
[28:33] agreed to do and they have to do justice
yeah when the dirt goes on the ground
[28:38] they're not spreading it we are when the
clay goes in we're installing it they're
[28:43] not they're not having to do any of that
so I was like a really good deal to me
[28:47] yeah very sad official to the town as
well so policy that we have now that
[28:52] exists states it must be three by five
banners which those are what I thought I
[28:58] saw reference somewhere to other sizes
as yeah we do on the if you look at the
[29:02] sponsorship sheet we do know we do sell
a four by eight so that would be that
[29:09] would be something that asks that you'd
allow is it could be incorporated on
[29:13] your policy we won't go any bigger than
that but that that would of course
[29:18] increase you know
would you obviously the board has to
[29:23] discuss all us but would you go with
[29:27] stay on we don't have a choice I guess
if that's what the board says then
[29:33] that's the policy you put into place we
want we're looking for a way for an
[29:40] organization obviously to give us to
donate more money so we provide them a
[29:44] benefit so they have more advertising
have you sold any for bases nestled one
[29:51] we have but we have my my another board
of director who's another coach he's the
[29:59] you 12 coats we've talked about if if
the town doesn't allow that that we've
[30:03] got another plan in place that that'll
be portable for us to put up when we're
[30:07] here and then we'll take down so what do
we actually be signing a one-year
[30:11] [Music]
contract with you guys that's what you
[30:17] want to set up right now they have to
come back every year to have the signs
[30:22] of fooled right now it's beginning a
season in the season period a okay the
[30:27] reason I ask is Jeff for someone raises
a question before if we get requests
[30:33] similar requests from other teams all of
a sudden what do we do you know we our
[30:40] board is always asking a question once a
precedent-setting issue and we don't
[30:45] want to get in a bind on that either but
I'm I like this idea very much that
[30:53] would be one question maybe we'd have to
tie that up and writing a little more
[30:57] that it would be a seasonal beginning
season to end the season and you guys
[31:02] can tell us when you're training weeks
are or whatever just going back to the
[31:08] attorney conference I think some of
these things are already answered who is
[31:13] paying for the signs I think that's been
answered already we've kind of go back
[31:19] and talk about 10% because there was 15
represented prior and what are the
[31:27] minimums that a group must donate
it's relevant I mean they're donating
[31:35] the cost of a sign that I shared there
that has the table to get a sign the
[31:44] minimum is 250 that's what we've
established bill what the what the
[31:49] attorney was referring to the minimum is
how much time they put in compared to
[31:53] the next true coming ins and we want to
say well okay I see with the same
[31:57] situation without putting it in the same
amount of time you know that's what the
[32:03] measure yeah if they have already got a
sponsor with a 4x8 I ask that you guys
[32:09] when you write that make sure that the
foreleg gets included in it where I have
[32:12] no problem with the 4x8 personally are
the signs all going on the outfield
[32:16] fence are they going up
I'll call is it for defense no in the
[32:26] outfield that high that's all really no
problem I think it's a good idea my my
[32:46] grandson graduated from the hitters
program and this last year and now he's
[32:50] moving on to a high school ball for the
first time but his family cost him
[32:56] $2,000 a year plus travel expenses of
two all the tournaments or he went to so
[33:02] this is our more reasonable and I think
it's a good thing for because this is
[33:07] the future of baseball I think is in
select programs yeah this is a good it's
[33:29] a good good deal
that was a good question though do you
[33:34] play teams that are brought in how how
widen area do you travel as well
[33:40] we travel within the area but we don't
go out of state
[33:44] oh that's not that's not that's not part
of our program we do plan on having a
[33:50] tournament out of state next year with
both of our teams is a sort of reward
[33:55] for the boys but all of our games are
local or within driving distance you
[34:02] know so local part well the whole team
will go up and play tournament the Dells
[34:05] will go down to Salem and that
tournament down there so but most all of
[34:10] our games are home games are here we
bring in people from Muskego we bring in
[34:20] people from the Berlin from Milwaukee so
close thank you
[34:28] well should we make a motion to table
this until next meeting when you bring
[34:33] back an updated policy yep
you guys are in favor of us spending up
[34:38] to an hour of Macy's time working on
this yeah all right sounds like a plan
[34:49] I'll check into Plan B further
discussion if not all in favor aye don't
[34:55] we need a friendly amendment for this or
not but I think those legal fees should
[35:00] come out of Park and Rec budget because
they're getting no total percentage I
[35:06] don't think the town budget should take
a hit for whatever it's going to be
[35:10] attorney fees an hour of nation's time
yeah okay okay
[35:18] there goes the $200 we make yeah
[35:24] depends on with his fees
[35:29] if you need if you would like me to come
back I'm happy to come back yeah we'll
[35:36] have some more science and you can see
our science if you really are interested
[35:40] in going onto Ravana's that work you can
see them the images are on our
[35:45] sponsorship tab you can see the images
that we're using for there thank you Dan
[35:56] thanks fun next item Santa
[36:13] I think when this table that lxb policy
yep in Russian and make a motion to
[36:23] table that to the next meeting one state
there's I guess 321 still remain in 321
[36:32] hey I'll second it
all in favor opposed motion carries
[36:39] thank you
thanks guys requested of iron milk
[36:50] corridor evaluation through sewer tag
for Verdun three four three burner
[36:55] properties as you can see we're testing
the microphones bill could you say
[37:20] something oh yeah turn it to your
microphone on it just say hello yeah
[37:27] turn it on to just say hello because you
talk with your head tip that way you're
[37:48] always
[37:53] [Music]
[38:20] all right Karen you want to oh yes in
your packet board members we've done
[38:26] this in the past there are three parcels
that both Fitz and I would like to send
[38:32] to the Regional Planning Commission to
have an evaluation of the environmental
[38:36] corridors and/or distinctions of the
properties you can see the two
[38:40] properties on Edgewood are very very
unique it means in regards to
[38:44] environmental corridor and what's
buildable out of those Lots the other a
[38:48] parcel we'd like to have a delineation
on is the one the lek lek tau parcel
[38:55] obviously that's environmental corridor
because of the woods but when the state
[38:59] came through and plowed in between that
property of the properties across the
[39:03] street we were just like an evaluation
of those three properties to have the
[39:08] South Eastern Regional Planning
Commission's look at those three
[39:12] properties and report back to the Town
Board on what their findings are where
[39:20] it's at what they do as they said their
hydrologists out there experts out and
[39:26] they actually look at what side the map
they have to actually look at you know
[39:31] the type of I'm assuming I've been
assuming the one off of Vernon Hills
[39:36] Drive is an event middle quarter because
of the woods but my question is is there
[39:42] something unique about the woods is an
underlying plant growth we'd like to
[39:46] know what qualifies that small little
tree stand as an environmental corridor
[39:52] the other issue are the two properties
on Edgewood Avenue you can see that
[39:57] there is a the webco easement goes
through close to those properties and
[40:02] you can see that there's a contiguous
environmental corridor to those
[40:05] properties and others but what Vince and
I were looking at are the specifics of
[40:10] those properties we felt if the Regional
Planning Commission could at least look
[40:15] at those two properties and see what
their evaluation as you know both that's
[40:20] something that we'd like a report that
there is no cost to the town
[40:25] as you kind of go on a list because I'm
sure this happens quite often with the
[40:31] Regional Planning Commission but that
would be that that's what the Vince and
[40:35] I are requesting for the Town Board
there is no cost and it's the only thing
[40:46] is it they just can't do it they could
do them obviously you know with the
[40:49] weather changes and depending about are
the amounts of requests so it might not
[40:54] be something that's done quickly but
it's done very well and the ones we've
[40:59] said before we've said because there's
issues related to where the building
[41:04] envelope goals the setbacks or some of
the uniqueness of those properties and
[41:08] if it's that I could see something that
it's contiguous or there's a reason for
[41:12] it then but these three are unique so ah
Quong request is we're crossing the town
[41:19] board to approve or authorize the clerk
to follow these two the regional
[41:24] planning commission for their evaluation
of the Lots as it relates to
[41:27] environmental corridors or substantial
issues related to those properties in
[41:33] question
landowners the one at Edgewood yes a
[41:42] little bit
the one on the edge was are the double
[41:46] Lots I have not talked to the property
orders it hasn't any effect of the
[41:51] property rights you know what like I
said we'd like to know from a planning
[41:54] standpoint because we've had previous to
this the last purchase I think I feel
[42:01] that at least 15 calls on this property
alone before it sold recently I mean and
[42:09] it's it's it's good plenty for the town
because there's some other issues
[42:12] related to that lot and like I said most
of the corridors you could kind of
[42:17] understand but this one was ruined when
would the freeway came through as far as
[42:22] any contiguous if it's the trees I'm not
sure I'm not sure if it's the trees I
[42:28] don't know if there's any specific plant
life that's unique there's got to be
[42:32] something about this that property all
the at least three properties so that
[42:37] that's just
request for bids and I this is a rule of
[42:42] coercing is through so back then yeah
it's a Regional Planning Commission this
[42:46] or what that doesn't cuz they're
probably right now probably eaten one
[42:49] salt by the time coming into spring like
this she's just so yeah I'd like I said
[42:55] that there's no urgency had they've done
this for the a few properties that we
[42:59] just had without a national ad Hillview
we had what done right across from the
[43:04] golf course prairie side golf course on
the other side so like I said and the
[43:09] reason we're asking is that for it has
nothing to do with commercial it's just
[43:13] understanding and you know understanding
if the delineation czar the maps are
[43:18] correct okay I was on line a couple
times trying to attract these key
[43:24] numbers back to addresses and putting
natural do you have the actual addresses
[43:30] that go to these three key numbers they
would not have the addresses because
[43:34] they're you don't get it address are the
property until there's a bill there's a
[43:38] an actual building structure so you can
only go by taxi dubber and I can show
[43:44] you easily how how you do that at the
code yeah because I finally ended up
[43:48] running all the tax purses on Edgewood
Avenue and I still couldn't match it up
[43:52] so yeah I could show you how to do that
because the the maps that you're seeing
[43:56] both the hydraulic Mac said the GIS maps
are offered the county's website okay
[44:07] I'll make a motion to the clerk and
putting every question to Southwest
[44:15] planning so in fact to do the evaluation
as requested all second
[44:26] any further discussion not all in favor
aye opposed motion carries unanimously
[44:34] thank you developing a brush pickup
drop-off site in the town of Verdun
[44:42] supervisor number four we attacked a
little bit about this last meeting and
[44:51] through my error of omission I wanted to
have this on the agenda for more
[45:00] discussion I don't know based upon this
topic how much we can discuss it but
[45:05] I've filled it a number of calls on this
and just surmising what people are
[45:13] saying out there I do I don't know of
anyone who complained about giving up
[45:19] running pickup versus the truth so let's
turn is a real plus taking a consensus
[45:28] of the people I talked to I feel we
should look at one pickup and I would
[45:36] think coming into a spring it'll be a
little late for us to say Nell sorry
[45:40] there won't be a pickup at spring so I
would like to see us look at a pickup
[45:46] for spring and then have our DPW
director John tell us if we can arrange
[45:52] for X number of weeks in the fall to
have an allotted area in the parking lot
[45:59] that went and have people bring their
own Russian for the fall so my feeling
[46:05] is springtime pickup this year no flat
pick up but have a designated spot
[46:14] somewhere on our drones that people can
bring in and a brush that will be named
[46:18] the with a flat brush and then move our
$30 that's in place now per load for
[46:28] mulch because I think
we're getting into private nursery
[46:33] service if we're going to deliver mulch
with more charge and two pickups so it's
[46:40] I don't know if we're in a position from
the agenda item here to make a motion
[46:46] tonight and vote on it or if we want to
pull that next agenda but John one day
[46:52] we normally start in April won't we me
or me I'm sorry okay so that's coming up
[46:56] fairly soon
I would think we'd wanna but Bishop on
[47:02] John's news he did some research for us
so we know there's a substantial cost
[47:07] savings just eliminating one pickup
I guess the agenda items more is
[47:15] developing a brush drop-off site and
John wasn't present at the last correct
[47:20] time for that so we wanted to get John's
input if that's something we could
[47:24] consider it possibly do back there or
that's just not a good idea either if
[47:31] you want to open it up I would look I
prefer to keep it into a fenced in area
[47:35] where I don't have drop-offs all night
long where I can monitor this because
[47:40] what's gonna happen is we're gonna end
it but people dropping off two by fours
[47:43] with nails in and railroad you know
stuff like that so if we can keep it in
[47:50] inside a fenced in area and monitor it
all 7 to 3:30 during the week and in it
[47:57] I don't see a problem with that quite
honestly as long as we have somebody
[48:02] here that can monitor that you know so
I've seen days when you I've seen days
[48:08] when there's nobody in the building from
the DPW so if you'd 7 is 3:30 you'd like
[48:14] to have someone here to monitor this
correctly so somebody doesn't come in
[48:17] while you're all gone and dump it you
know outside defense or something right
[48:20] so how do we assure that that doesn't
happen
[48:24] well we do have the security camera
monitoring parking lot what what what my
[48:31] my that's an aftereffect type of thing
yeah well you can track down a father so
[48:35] we get this junk out there who brock
alone in yeah it's hard to hard to
[48:38] determine who yeah dropped what
my opinion this is that we should have
[48:46] it that one pick up one one to lift one
once a year but it should coincide with
[48:54] the drop-off with when the pickup is
going to be going on because that's way
[48:59] saluting right because of the grinder
you've gotta run it that's expensive to
[49:03] have that thing here for that one day
it's almost $3,000 and if we have it in
[49:09] this fall also then that brush is gonna
sit there till the next spring we should
[49:15] have people allowed to bring it during
that same two-week period or so or
[49:19] whatever because I would suggest having
a yeah a set time amount where either
[49:26] you bring it within these two weeks or
you don't bring it yeah because then if
[49:29] I still get the grinder we're done with
it
[49:32] right I mean I can't have the stuff
trickling in for months on end and I
[49:36] have it be an issue in the way it would
not so it would be a hazard I think to
[49:40] have it stored there for months out of
time right you know we don't want that
[49:43] no and no that's what we'd have to get a
dumpster and then nobody gonna put in a
[49:50] dumpster unless you're young enough to
lift it over there you go right we
[49:53] talked about that dumpster is not a not
a good program as far as oh we like to
[49:57] have a flat level area where they get as
far as monastry net you know we could
[50:02] ask for some volunteers and even in the
tone us guys that sit up here could
[50:08] volunteer to sit down there for a day or
so to watch it you know I you know we're
[50:13] the ones that are establishing a policy
we should be willing to do something we
[50:17] regard to that good Clerk's office
outside of those days is anybody paid
[50:27] the thirty dollars yes so then hopping
we drop the fault picked up this year
[50:33] would be somewhat of an issue I would
think I like Bill's idea you know drop
[50:37] the fall pickup yeah but I think we need
to wait till next year because we've got
[50:42] people who already came in paid for it
and they're getting the spring very much
[50:46] people a spring right now yeah 15 heaven
peep for the folia and sprays your
[50:52] biggest pick up right right fall right
and maybe next to me I'm gonna flip a
[50:57] little over what yeah I mean I even game
to going out there and babysitting on a
[51:08] Saturday morning to give people a chance
who can't make the 7:30 to 3:30 i I
[51:13] would recommend if that's what you were
gonna do I would recommend having a to
[51:18] Saturday probably dropped from frog til
noon or something like that because a
[51:23] lot of people can't make it turn America
right so they do that in the art work on
[51:28] well we can rather than come home after
work and you know feel like cutting up a
[51:33] tree branches well and then try and get
here by 3:30 is going to be tough so
[51:37] that is more appropriate Sunday we're
talking timeframe basically I would I
[51:47] would suggest to keep it as a two week
time period we're doing that that's the
[51:51] only two Saturdays yeah we could even
pay you guys your overtime or whatever
[51:56] still come out ahead on this it's up to
you to know I'm sure we can work it
[52:03] we're summaries available for that one
of us or 20 years yeah I think that's a
[52:08] workable program so I think that's a
good way to go but for the agenda item
[52:12] developing a drop-off site you want to
work on development where that would be
[52:17] John I got some ideas I tossed it around
when we were talking about today a
[52:21] little bit in the back there so if we're
going to do it on a whole separate time
[52:27] where we're not picking up yeah that's
not going to be a problem we have the
[52:32] whole bag open but if it's gonna be
during the same time as we're actually
[52:36] doing the pickup I would have to
segregate that section off to the north
[52:39] side of the parking lot back there which
we would have room for and and if it
[52:44] filled up a little bit we could take
that brush to push it over onto the
[52:47] remaining pile but I'd like to keep them
separate because if we're coming in our
[52:50] trucks I can't have this the liability
for people being in the way or whatnot
[52:54] so maybe we just make it Saturday's well
if you want to open it up to drop off
[53:01] and not pick up totally like you say for
fall you know I would suggest to keep it
[53:06] open for the whole two weeks
yeah cuz you're not gonna get everybody
[53:09] in here on Saturday for Fito yes
no as we do just a drop off you don't
[53:14] have the trucks running back before so
that's not an issue but if we're gonna
[53:17] have a drop-off with the default to
picked up yeah if you want to do that
[53:23] we've got to figure out what days are
gonna work for that so that we're not
[53:25] having traffic issues with your truck
right and it sounded like any time
[53:29] during a week you're running at all we
are going back in you now quite a bit
[53:33] yeah I mean we're relatively schedule
something like that well like I said if
[53:36] we could keep that separate on the north
side of the parking lot I think that
[53:39] wouldn't be a problem we could work
around it so we can get cars in without
[53:44] your trucks bump I believe so yes
okay and you provide us a map ton of
[53:49] what are a sketch oh sure where you
would think this is what the traffic
[53:52] pattern would be to stay out of your way
yeah maybe we paint some lines or
[53:56] something put some cones up or something
yeah it is we got the fences all gay
[54:05] fenced off and that's why I like to keep
that separate just for that fact I don't
[54:11] want no late-night dumping you know last
year we we used a parking lot next door
[54:15] because we had this dirt pile back here
we got some late-night don't be going on
[54:19] and we didn't fight too much bad stuff
in there but some stumps and dirt that
[54:25] we would have picked up yeah so because
it wasn't in a fenced-in area that's
[54:30] what you're gonna you're gonna get yeah
I know tom was taken to if we put a gate
[54:34] in on the south and when they came in on
that side versus for the not interfere
[54:40] with your trucks his son too as a
possibility yeah we could look into that
[54:45] putting our entrance in over there sure
yeah I think we could make it work I
[54:50] mean it's okay um we'll put it back on
the agenda for ya next on board meeting
[54:56] yeah sure fundraiser for us yeah
absolutely
[54:58] okay it covers everything so we can make
a decision on it and make the motion no
[55:06] I should have cleared my there with
Karen
[55:10] excuse me supervisor moment I did note
that for the record that supervisor
[55:14] Craig wanted to discuss the full program
at the next toe board we go so that's
[55:18] great thank you glad the volunteer in a
Saturday the care needs help alder eyes
[55:39] in town chairman design the 2019 road

attorney asked about having legal review
[56:13] Andy Schultz our town engineer is very
good about anytime there's any type of
[56:17] statutory or change
he always recommends a legal review we
[56:23] both John and I checked with Andy not
only in regards to any statutory change
[56:29] there is none we all went over very
distinctly on the certificate of
[56:34] insurance
so although Jonah Jonah they are
[56:38] attorneys both John and I felt that it's
it's ready for you to authorize Todd to
[56:43] say that that johner I didn't discuss
this all with mr. Macey okay except for
[56:52] the fact that he had you know recomm
he's recommends a legal review to
[56:56] protect you but I just wanted to give
you the feedback

[57:50] difference between their balance I sent
an email to Lorraine our treasurer I
[57:56] need to make an official request to have
a baby this is about the mileage stretch
[58:05] me the mileage well the mileage isn't
doing much because the police haven't
[58:10] come back with report yet so I don't
have anything new to offer but I would
[58:15] like on a next agenda to put down you
need to make a motion for this request
[58:21] that was made to make it official
[58:31] putting Town Board and Planning
Commission a packet to the ton of our
[58:35] website Jeff I just wanted to state that
this came up at the forum that the he
[58:45] packets for the Town Board and planned
commission packets be put up on the
[58:49] agenda
I only never discussed this at a staff
[58:53] meeting with the attorney in the whole
gang so I just wanted to let you know
[58:58] that the request has been made and just
to let you talk about the board talk
[59:04] about it see what your feelings are when
I talked about you may see about it he
[59:09] recommended putting on a staff meeting
agenda item he had some concerns and
[59:15] basically it's creating more work for
the Clerk
[59:20] staff second a further discussion if not
all in favor opposed motion carries
[59:29] we'll have that in the next staff
meeting articles and deadlines for the
[59:35] next town newsletters March 15th
[59:41] yeah the made a memory question is there
anything specific the board would like
[59:46] addressed you know you can email me or
but if there's anything specific that
[59:51] you'd like in this because it's going to
hit with this is the last one we have
[59:57] with LPI so Mike the recreation director
is getting all of his programs in in
[1:00:03] this newsletter and then we'd have one
go out in late October November concern
[1:00:13] is if we're gonna change the policy in
regard to the brush pickup are we going
[1:00:19] to be able to get out enough information
after the 15th to the residence in
[1:00:24] regard to the change because I think
that should be the lead article in the
[1:00:29] newsletter personally if it gets to that
point because it's going to affect an
[1:00:34] awful lot of people in the town and if
we're gonna have a mass confusion if
[1:00:38] they don't understand we've been accused
of not getting information out in the
[1:00:42] past and I would be I would really like
to see a stall on the 15th can we get
[1:00:49] pastor to our next board meeting Karen
to get the articles in do you think in
[1:00:53] time to get the newspaper you could
write the we need a limb by the 15th so
[1:00:57] you can see him at your board meeting on
the 21st yeah because that's got to be
[1:01:03] in the bleeding and far as I'm concerned
because that's gonna be extremely
[1:01:08] important for people to understand that
there's going to be a major change so
[1:01:12] that there's no confusion in and what
they can do and what what we're allowing
[1:01:17] to have happen you know we have a bigger
problem because you don't I don't think
[1:01:21] you decided you didn't come to any
conclusion on anything no but by this by
[1:01:25] the board meeting on a 21st we will
won't we well we could say the
[1:01:30] newsletter or the brush pickup will be
thirty dollars yeah a chanst and already
[1:01:37] posit and then say they're in discussion
of possible trop off times yeah like the
[1:01:44] web what is your website or something
like that because my suggestion won't
[1:01:49] believe this
bring pick up just the way it is
[1:01:53] initiate this change in fall put it in
newsletters and as of the fall pickup
[1:01:59] just take place I think it's too late to
program to push this in early pickup I
[1:02:05] think we're gonna have a lot of
confusion l'oréal's bloody complaints we
[1:02:09] could have signs in the door when they
vote in April to about brush pick up
[1:02:12] people who read when they walk in yeah I
just I just want to leave with a big
[1:02:18] problem because yeah I really rather
push it to full it gives us time to work
[1:02:23] through it because we don't have a
program yet no we've got suggestions but
[1:02:28] we have there anything concrete rating
it's got to be a policy policy changed
[1:02:33] and it takes some time
yep so rather than jam it in and get it
[1:02:36] screwed up let's take the time to fix it
right either the spring lake it is
[1:02:42] notify them in March letter or nose
letter about their the papal newsletter
[1:02:48] about the change that's coming and we
can give some description then we'll
[1:02:53] have some idea you know it's gonna be a
drop off point we've agreed on that I
[1:02:57] think so we'll have to put a couple
things in there to the word kapre are
[1:03:02] gonna fall into the program when we get
it set up but we could only give them an
[1:03:06] overview we can't give the details at
this point I can live with that I just I
[1:03:12] just foresee a major problem if we just
dropped this on them you know without
[1:03:17] any information you know because John's
gonna catch holy hell with the phone
[1:03:22] calls and so is the clerk not so much us
because people call it we'll call Karen
[1:03:27] and they'll call John I don't know a
couple people got my number
[1:03:33] I gotta change your number yes um to
make it official I make a motion to not
[1:03:40] do this till the fall picked up and
let's get some information now as both
[1:03:44] the ocean surgeonfish you're on the
wrong item this is just a newsletter
[1:03:50] articles on deadlines
yeah so we okay I think we can live with
[1:03:56] what ed saying by the next meeting we
can make a motion at that time so best
[1:04:03] thing we're seeing is it will pick up
okay as usual for me know you've got
[1:04:12] time our dress for fall we do like okay
so write your articles next week yep pay
[1:04:29] out a dtw DPW sick time D Padova
director and clerk may ask that we come
[1:04:36] back to this item Jeff after after we
discuss it in closed session ok ok on to
[1:04:44] correspondence announcements and reports
I don't have anything at this time Gary
[1:04:50] no I just had one I had a contact with
and the gentleman is here tight so we
[1:04:57] discussed his concerns regarding what
would discuss this evening in regard to
[1:05:04] the recreation program and I agree
wholeheartedly with with him in regard
[1:05:11] to the funding I remember specifically
that we made the decision that this was
[1:05:19] not to be funded with taxpayer dollars
the system's supposed to be standing by
[1:05:24] its own and I think that we said that we
would give it to the board to the budget
[1:05:31] hearings to make a determination on what
we're going to do but if anybody has any
[1:05:37] concerns regarding this I appreciate it
if they can give us a call and let us
[1:05:41] know but as of right now I have to agree
with
[1:05:45] gentlemen that is mr. Graham jet this is
not it's not working the way we intended
[1:05:50] to work other than that I don't have
anything at this time had you follow up
[1:05:58] or what Gary said I believe we actually
made a decision that there will be a
[1:06:02] decision come the end of the year budget
thing whether or not this program
[1:06:06] continues based on the dollars and the
needs I also had several calls for
[1:06:14] people that didn't attend the meeting
claiming they didn't know about even
[1:06:18] though it was on the mailer for
information on boundary agreement what
[1:06:25] I'm not sharing with you Jeff and that
bill fella gave me the wrong phone
[1:06:31] number so I didn't get a hold him right
away now I'm gonna bring up what I was
[1:06:37] talking about the treasure
I heard the beating and I was requested
[1:06:45] to get together me the clerk in the
treasurer and try to identify the room
[1:06:50] for the difference in their balance bank
statements I sent an email to Lorraine
[1:07:02] yes sir to reply and give me three
months records of the past history of
[1:07:07] the bank statement there was no response
until Eve last week
[1:07:22] anyway just not getting a response for
that stuff she finally came through and
[1:07:29] said the reason she hasn't done anything
was she looked in that past minutes and
[1:07:36] the minutes did not have an approval by
the Board or a motion is what she said
[1:07:42] so what I wanted to do was get a motion
so that it's on the record that there's
[1:07:50] a motion that I am supposed to go do
this and she has to follow up based on
[1:07:54] her job description I explained to her
in her job description says she has to
[1:07:59] respond to the board with anything why
this is coming in three weeks ago four
[1:08:05] weeks ago the only response I got is I
can't I can't do that because I looked
[1:08:11] and it wasn't official because there was
no again no agendized motion so I asked
[1:08:18] Karen look I don't know if it was on the
minutes or was just a request and he
[1:08:23] said I'll go do it but we're not getting
any response we're gonna have to make
[1:08:28] that official request with motion and
then I'm gonna go after and say now I
[1:08:32] need that information question so is it
proper to make that motion now another
[1:08:43] voting for the record that she wanted on
the next town board agenda he's kinda
[1:08:56] ridiculous
that's what we're at with the Treasury
[1:09:00] right now and that's all I have
supervisor Craig coming back to Gary's
[1:09:07] comments regarding Park and Rec I agree
with his comments wholeheartedly and mr.
[1:09:13] Graham's who contacted me fact I've
spoken several times the last year about
[1:09:18] that issue
this program has gotten over control in
[1:09:24] the sense of the amount of money we're
putting into it which should have been
[1:09:30] zero is going to kill would be a better
name when he goes back so and remembers
[1:09:41] when this took place and we're so far
afield I can't I don't have the
[1:09:46] expertise to say okay we've added this
this and that activity but I know what
[1:09:50] the prior athletic director we had I
made the point personally I don't want
[1:09:56] this program to grow at all until we get
a handle and we're at we don't have any
[1:10:01] more of a handle now then we had five
six seven years ago so the various point
[1:10:06] is very good I think we're gonna have to
take a very serious look at this how are
[1:10:12] we justifying pumping that amount of
money subsidizing a program and I've
[1:10:22] been made aware that public schools
you're paying as a special activity
[1:10:28] wonderful baseball student there you
probably pay a hundred hundred fifty
[1:10:32] bucks for baseball season so I don't
think it's our job as a tone off or
[1:10:39] super discounts at our own budget
expense so I agree with Gillian Etzel
[1:10:45] will be looking I'm sure to pursue that
at large at a time and the other thing I
[1:10:51] had I've been contacted several times
now regarding the fire department
[1:10:57] show I had never seen it until last week
so I thought I would just stop in I
[1:11:05] talked to
assistant Chief Pat Hayes and told him I
[1:11:11] just like the kind of Snyder facility
there have been numerous comments coming
[1:11:16] forward one of those the poor condition
of the shower
[1:11:19] the other one is apparently the women
fire department members do not feel
[1:11:26] comfortable with a shared shower so I
did like I said I did go over there Pat
[1:11:33] Hayes gave me a good tour that area and
what we've got for a shower stall now is
[1:11:40] in shambles I just dry rot one corner
toilet broken out what we've got right
[1:11:46] there if we did nothing more that's a
big time work but then also I received
[1:11:54] in the mail I think maybe Karen did too
a copy of three proposed and the numbers
[1:12:02] on them but three proposed plans and
they're kind of hard to read because
[1:12:07] there are actually three to three
dimensional and it's very hard to get a
[1:12:12] perspective on holiday we layout with
that but theoretically they could live
[1:12:19] initial question back was well I'm sure
they were a big problem if we're going
[1:12:24] to be talking about expanding today the
fire station physically so this we
[1:12:31] sketches let's see show that we could
possibly get up to 300 stairs without
[1:12:39] moving ways or making any major plumbing
changes the part that bothers me though
[1:12:46] when the whole thing is I made it clear
to the caller this should be something
[1:12:51] that originates with the fire department
comes to the board with a recommendation
[1:12:56] and I've said repeatedly we have not
gotten that I don't know if any of your
[1:13:01] have gotten calls but I am in a very
clear to this day I have not been
[1:13:07] contacted by anyone on the department or
anyone else not on the department should
[1:13:13] we be doing something I think we need to
but that's not for the board to start
[1:13:19] from Warren this fire station so I'm
really confused why we're not hearing
[1:13:28] this seems to be a major issue to some
people but we're getting nothing from
[1:13:32] the fire department directly as a
recommendation or requests or any of
[1:13:37] that sort so I've been told there are
there are people looking for donated
[1:13:43] funds for a part of this project I
haven't seen any prepares numbers on it
[1:13:49] at all just along with that one of the
serious items I can see in the whole
[1:13:57] picture is they're supposed to be in
Washington a scale off they will
[1:14:01] guarantee there's more into it than I am
because of the toxic silicon front and I
[1:14:07] said assistant Hayes or deputy chief
Hayes how long does it take to wash down
[1:14:13] a set of gear 35 minutes
how in the world if we have 50 members
[1:14:21] or 35 members on a fire
they all come back around the same time
[1:14:26] are we going to get all the showers can
show the girl washed at 45 minutes per
[1:14:32] set of gear I just don't know yeah and
washed as I understand it so that's just
[1:14:45] might be coming in the future but that's
the contact I've had players say the mr.
[1:14:50] Toomy is it of course it was on TV I
think a little soul refers to that as
[1:14:58] exactly it did not make us more
he turned it down I was a little upset
[1:15:05] see in the word so that's my comment for
now on conversations I've had with to
[1:15:16] taxpayers thank you that's only out John
I just got my report to give you ready
[1:15:24] I just give you update on our assault
situation I know we've we've had like 35
[1:15:29] snow events so far this season which is
ten over what the total average is
[1:15:35] usually around twenty five so we're with
another month to go here yet we're
[1:15:42] really pushing it here so we get plenty
of salt to last us though we get just
[1:15:47] kind of shipping in 500 tons about a
week and a half ago so we should be okay
[1:15:53] here but you know a lot communities are
using the sand salt mixture so but we
[1:16:00] shouldn't have to resort to that at all
so with that being said we've been
[1:16:04] spending real busy with the tree work
I'm trying to cut while these a lot of
[1:16:08] these data ash trees and stuff would run
around town I got our new truck in our
[1:16:15] hot patch box is being mounted we're
hoping to have that back tomorrow that's
[1:16:20] for heating up that cold patch for
pothole repair which is we all know
[1:16:26] we're gonna have a good pothole season
here so and and now with this rain
[1:16:32] coming on Saturday if I could ask
anybody near some drains we're gonna go
[1:16:39] around tomorrow and clean open them up
as much as we can but it's a if anybody
[1:16:43] has any dreams they're going to need to
be opened create a snow and ice away
[1:16:48] from them because we're supposed to get
an inch of rain on Saturday so it's
[1:16:52] gonna be a lot of flooding going on so
oh that's it for me if you had any more
[1:16:58] requests for to buy salt from us John I
have one one person looking who with
[1:17:06] tongue quizzing us but I said I have to
hold on to what we have absolute I was
[1:17:12] wondering what cure what's your what's
your feeling
[1:17:15] and policy wouldn't last year I put 200
tons down in April last year so I have
[1:17:23] another month before that and I it's
gonna hang out to what we have okay so
[1:17:30] like to be good neighbors but I know I
agree where I used to scroll I don't
[1:17:35] want to be though I don't want to be the
guy out to put sand on a mat and so I
[1:17:40] have to look out for number one right
that's hate to say it but that's true
[1:17:44] our residents take priority when you're
selling salt to somebody who didn't buy
[1:17:49] it off right Chad just for clarification
of the minutes are you asking residents
[1:17:58] to clear concrete areas or dreams
culprits if you have but we have some
[1:18:03] dreams we will be doing like catch
basins and stuff like the culverts are
[1:18:08] b12 because you start back and one up
it's just it's a you know that goes
[1:18:12] upstream so I just wanted to state just
remind the residents that we do have a
[1:18:19] meeting this Wednesday the 13th from
5:00 to 7:00 the plan Commissioner tell
[1:18:23] board on looking at proposed land use
amendment said before they go to the
[1:18:27] public hearing they would like to hear
from residents so that once again that's
[1:18:31] this Wednesday from 5 to 7 to look at
their proposed land use amendments you
[1:18:36] can look at them on the television
website however when you click on the
[1:18:40] map you have to blow up when I blow it
up with enlarged areas to look at the
[1:18:46] map it's it's very well done our town
planner has done that and then also we
[1:18:51] have another informational meeting on
the border agreement on Tuesday March 26
[1:18:57] from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. we had a close to
60 people at the last two meetings we
[1:19:03] had in February also just wanted to
remind the residents that Tuesday March

aye opposed motion carries
[1:21:45] have the accounts receivable AG report
mr. trimmer I just want to let the board
[1:21:52] members know there's two people that we
sent letters to that have balances that
[1:21:59] are pretty old and ask them to come and
speak before the Town Board to ask well
[1:22:06] one well the very last one you know you
made arrangements for that person to
[1:22:10] make payments and that person the very
last entry will have that payoff by the
[1:22:16] end of the year but there are there's
one item for $850 and 70 cents and then
[1:22:23] there's one item for 1812 79 what we
sent letters in their last statement
[1:22:30] that they need to contact the Town Board
into making either arrangements for
[1:22:36] payment or if they need to discuss this
issue with the Town Board we sent
[1:22:41] letters to those effect to that the one
gentleman that has the 1008 1279 said I
[1:22:57] wanted to talk to director had a very
warm or tie before he went to the board
[1:23:01] but he does he's going to be on his
telling the 21st so if he comes to the
[1:23:06] board it's going to be the first meeting
in April I will call him I did send him
[1:23:14] a letter but I will call Charlie I'd see
what what his issue is Karen and revved
[1:23:21] motors
that's Charlie oh that is one okay
[1:23:25] because I thought the request was for us
to weave wasn't he was a dealer he was
[1:23:34] required he was you were gonna wave it
if he whip him if he moved into the
[1:23:38] building that counted builders period he
never moved it to that building ruler go
[1:23:44] no nope Khalid builders is in there okay
thank you so so he needs to come back
[1:23:50] and talk to the board again this are the
aging report picks up things that we
[1:24:16] just put in I could see if you want it
in a different format I'll pull done a
[1:24:34] report just to show you I can I can
reset it anyway but this is the way the
[1:24:40] board has seen it for the last four
years this building's went out in
[1:24:55] February so in a sense they're aging we
can say we can change it to the 60 90
[1:25:03] and 120
[1:25:12] the more prevalent issues were the ones
that have been pretty substantial those
[1:25:18] other ones that you're probably gonna
end writing off or sending to the state
[1:25:24] because they're not residents of the
town averted all right January financial
[1:25:51] report I'm pretty good a chance to look
at that mr. Chairman I did forget to
[1:26:24] state that there is a candidates forum
on March 19th with a March 20 of them
[1:26:29] date for if there's bad weather and of
course I am no meeting no one has any
[1:26:41] question on the financial report let's
move on to proving town board minutes in
[1:26:47] February 21st that's you
[1:26:56] collisions on Ellen yeah that's all
right

January general fund on workers comp
[1:27:12] under other expenditures page nine
workers comp is already at sixty nine
[1:27:19] percent budget and insurance at eighty
point two eight percent of budget are
[1:27:24] those paid that far in advance Karen if
you look at your accounts payable you
[1:27:31] have you have a you can't do a worker's
comp audit until the years done so we
[1:27:38] just if you saw we've just completed
that you approved a bill so that's going
[1:27:43] to be you'll see a journal entry by the
auditor that will be applied to 2018 so
[1:27:49] it's are you talking about number that's
in January that won't stay there you can
[1:27:56] have revenues in January that won't stay
there so the January genuine for their
