[3:50] » Hello.
[3:59] » Sorry. I thought [clears throat] there
was another one that had our names in
[4:03] it. That's what I was
>> I'll keep one and you get two.
[4:09] » One for our minutes and one for me.
[4:19] All right. So, let's go ahead and look
at January 6. I think we already had a
[4:24] mocha to discuss.
[4:40] Any discussion?
[4:46] This is when we recognize you as
president.
[4:50] [clears throat]
>> Okay. Do I have a motion to approve?
[4:55] » Yes.

[4:58] » I

[5:05] » Don't you want I on my back side?
[clears throat]
[5:10] I'll let another one you
[5:27] don't know where the extra one is.
[5:32] [snorts]
[5:47] There's one for me.
>> Yes. Yep.
[6:03] » All right. So we have
[6:07] approval of minutes
and presentation of the annual financial
[6:12] report. Mr. Mark Messik.
>> So we have those in attendance on your
[6:18] agenda.
>> I know but I had already said that at
[6:20] the beginning when I think Chuck Harlo
>> I didn't hear
[6:25] I'm old.
>> That's all right.
[6:26] » A lot older than you. Okay.
>> I apologize. This is
[6:31] » Chuck is Carlo Harlo. There's the name
right in front of you.
[6:35] » Yes. I'm sorry. Very good. Thank you. I
>> Okay, everybody. This is what it looks
[6:40] like. Put that in front of you.
Not that way.
[6:46] » You want to move it towards camera?
>> Are you ready?
[6:50] » Are you ready, Steve?
[6:54] » Okay.
This is the annual financial report for
[6:58] 2025.
The first page uh will show
[7:04] » Can I pause?
>> Yes.
[7:06] » We already approved the December 30th
the last time we were here.
[7:10] » Well, I'm sorry.
>> Okay. All right. Go ahead.
[7:14] [clears throat]
>> We approved it again.
[7:16] » Yeah. [laughter]
>> All right. It's okay.
[7:19] » I didn't know that we did that.
>> That's okay.
[7:21] » I don't think I maybe didn't see it on
that last [clears throat] time. Okay. So
[7:26] the first item on there is our rainy day
fund which we have $84,100.75
[7:37] towards the end of the year. I
bought a CV
[7:44] from mutual
savings of $50,000.
[7:51] You're going to see that in our
distributions.
[7:54] So, uh, we've been because it was a
sevenmon special interest. So, but that
[8:01] that you just needed to know there's no
it doesn't change the amount of money we
[8:06] have. The second item is telling you
that uh uh we we have $111,000
[8:16] $269
and 59.
[8:21] I also would like to report that
uh we purchased a $25,000
[8:28] CD from Mutual Savings. Those CDs come
uh mature this month and uh it's my
[8:39] intent to purchase
[8:44] new CDs. We have to put the interest in
the account. township account, but I'm
[8:52] going to purchase a new CD to rep.
>> So, these are coming due,
[8:56] » right?
>> And and whatever interest was made off
[9:00] of the 50,000 and the 25,000 will be put
back into the bank,
[9:05] » right?
>> Okay. And then you're going to buy
[9:07] another 50,000 and another 25,000
>> and another 25 cuz I had 25,000 in
[9:14] assistance. So, I jumped ahead of
myself.
[9:17] » Okay. $63,115.13
[9:23] in our assistance and of that amount we
have $25,000
[9:30] in the bank.
So the next item shows our payroll
[9:36] deductions.
And so, uh, apparently,
[9:42] » [snorts]
>> uh, we jumped ahead somehow and we paid,
[9:48] uh, we're short in that account. Uh,
$35,2742.
[9:56] We, that's not a problem because our
banking uh, [clears throat] all uh,
[10:03] equals
the banking all balanced out.
[10:07] » [snorts]
>> Uh so with that in mind, the state board
[10:10] of accounts has told me with this last
audit that that's not anything that is
[10:16] that big a deal. Okay. As long as our
checking account balances.
[10:22] [snorts] Any questions on our grand
total of $256,12756?
[10:32] That's what you got to operate with.
That's what's in the bank as the end of
[10:38] December the 31st.
>> I will. So the assistant fund that is
[10:45] what is in the bank. What are we when I
when you say 68,000
[10:52] » 63,000?
>> Excuse me. 63,000.
[10:56] Uh
what is what are you telling me here?
[11:00] You're telling me that's in the bank?
>> Okay. So we have uh five funds in uh
[11:10] that we deal with. We deal with rainy
day. We deal with township
[11:16] » and I forgot to report the donation. We
had $1,169.51
[11:25] donated to the trustees office this last
year. We've not spent any of that money.
[11:32] uh and we won't spend any of it unless
we need to purchase food or if we need
[11:39] to purchase school supplies. We haven't
done that. Uh and
[11:45] but if we need to, we would do that. So
now to recap, we have 256,12756.
[11:56] Any questions on our funds? Again my
question I'm sorry did 63,000 that means
[12:03] that that is in the bank being held for
assistance.
[12:07] » That's exactly what it means. Okay.
>> We will not spend that amount. We can
[12:11] only spend the amount that we have
appropriated.
[12:17] So we can never spend uh of those
uh
[12:23] four funds we can never spend more than
what
[12:28] » appropriate
>> right
[12:30] » the donations is is something that is
not appropriated and we can spend it
[12:36] without an appropriation.
Okay. So the next page
[12:51] » receipts.
>> Yes, it's receipts. Uh I'm not going to
[12:55] go through each of those. If you have a
question on any of them, please ask me.
[13:06] I'll tell you about the total. the total
for the township receipts. Uh first off,
[13:12] we had no receipts for the rainy day.
The total for the township that uh we
[13:18] received was 154,51782.
[13:26] We received uh in donations $686.
[13:34] We received in township uh receipts of
$21,127.
[13:45] » Where you see that? Oh, okay.
>> We received uh $21,4991
[13:57] for township assistance.
[14:02] And so, uh,
that's what we've received.
[14:08] Any questions on the receipt of any of
those funds?
[14:13] Okay. Next item that we have is our
distributions.
[14:19] And I'll just talk about the rainy day
to start with. We distributed 15 thou
[14:26] $50,000
out of the rainy day. That was for the
[14:30] purchase of the uh mutual savings uh CD.
>> What was the percent you know?
[14:38] » Uh it was like seven quarters of a
percent versus anybody else. I don't
[14:45] know seven months.
>> Uhhuh.
[14:47] » So I I wanted to make sure it's
shortterm in case we needed to to use
[14:52] it. And usually when I do that, uh,
they have to sell me a CD that we can
[15:01] turn in early with no penalties.
>> Okay.
[15:04] » Okay.
[15:07] In the township, we expended $61,1912
[15:16] on uh personal services. That means
salary and wages.
[15:24] Okay. Uh total supplies and uh uh and
adding uh
[15:34] other services of $96,61324
[15:40] and operating supplies of $3870.87.
[15:47] We spent a total of $102,482.11.
[15:55] We will look at the how those
expenditures were. Uh and then we also
[16:01] spent $25,000 on the CD for the total
distributions
[16:08] uh on township side of the business,
$188,5123.
[16:17] We will go over those in uh in depth
here in a minute. Uh but if you have any
[16:24] questions right now, go ahead and ask
them.
[16:28] Okay. The next deal is township
assistance for salaries. Uh for
[16:34] operation of the uh township assistance,
we spent $18,886.
[16:44] Uh and when for other supplies
uh we spent $32,86781
[16:57] and then uh
[17:01] then total services and charges 4.88 88
and then we purchased a $25,000
[17:10] uh CD
and that made our total distributions
[17:17] uh
of 76,44467.
[17:26] Then the next thing you see is is the
payroll. Like I said, that's uh we just
[17:32] have to report uh what we spent on
payroll deductions.
[17:38] Okay,
[snorts] that that's it for the totals.
[17:45] If you would go to page six
[17:52] and if you would start at the top,
that's going to show uh the monies uh
[17:59] that we had spent like on rainy day we
spent at the mutual savings bank
[18:05] $50,000.
Do you wish for me to go through all the
[18:09] rest?
>> No, I don't want you to do an line item,
[18:11] but I do have a question on bond
plumbing, heating, and cooling. What was
[18:15] that for the 135?
>> We bought that new uh furnace and we
[18:21] bought it in 2024.
We do [clears throat] not receive a bill
[18:26] until 2025.
>> Okay. Thank you. Okay. My other question
[18:30] is Mayan Cemetery Restoration on the
same page.
[18:34] » Where are you? Oh, down here. Okay. So,
Mayhem Cemetery Restoration was the
[18:41] restoration of the Honey Creek Cemetery.
>> Okay. So, this was in addition to all
[18:48] the funds we spent on when we had the
one company come in and take care of
[18:53] every single tombstone,
>> right, and trees. Yes, at that time uh
[18:59] Honey Creek was not a cemetery that we
maintain when the Methodist church
[19:08] disbanded
and they did away with the cemetery uh
[19:14] organization. We became liable to take
care of that cemetery.
[19:19] » Okay. And where is that located?
>> It's located at Stones Crossing and
[19:24] Honey Creek Road. Okay.
>> Right next to the random. Gotcha. Okay.
[19:29] Thank you.
>> We are going to take a tree down in
[19:32] there this year, but we've budgeted that
already.
[19:35] » Okay.
>> That's in our car townships.
[19:39] » And that was the question I had earlier
because that was
[19:44] » from the finances. Okay.
>> So, any other questions on our
[19:48] distributions?
>> What about the next page? RPM exterior
[19:53] services.
>> Okay. SNS
[19:56] turned over the uh maintenance of the
cemeteries and of this bed and snow
[20:04] removal
uh because he was a oneman show and he
[20:09] couldn't do it anymore. Uh and he was
late doing things and I was calling uh
[20:16] we didn't get our mulch last year.
>> That's okay. That's all right. So
[20:20] » where's that?
>> What that cemetery you're talking about?
[20:24] It's at the You know where the
roundabout is on Stones Crossing east of
[20:29] 135?
[20:32] » It's on Yeah,
>> it's on Stones Crossing in Honey Creek.
[20:36] » Is it over there behind the church?
>> Okay.
[20:38] » Yeah, it's next to
>> So SNS is now So RM RPM is now taking
[20:45] over the snow removal, the taking care
of the cemeteries,
[20:49] » right?
>> Okay. [clears throat] So,
[20:51] » so this SNS
was already paid before RPM came along,
[20:56] » right? So, it was in the like the in
February or March.
[21:02] » That's good. Thank you.
>> Any other questions?
[21:12] Okay. I I would like to talk about
robots.
[21:17] What?
>> Robux.
[21:18] » $5,520.
>> Robarts. Okay.
[21:23] » They are the ones that fertilize and put
down our treatment for weeds in our uh
[21:31] property here, nowhere else. This last
year, we started to lose the uh because
[21:39] of the weather, we started to lose a
great part of our lawn.
[21:45] And I asked Robarts, cuz he's an expert
in that area, uh, what we should do. And
[21:52] his answer to me was, "Let me come out
and look at." He came out and looked at
[21:56] it. He says, "If I was you, I would uh
uh slice seed uh the 2.3 acres and uh
[22:09] and that's the best thing to do." So we
did that and before the fall was up, we
[22:15] saw it improved
with our yard. So I look forward this
[22:21] spring to look good again. But that
that's why it's more than normal for
[22:25] him.
Okay. Any any other questions?
[22:30] » I do not.
>> Okay. [snorts]
[22:33] Then the next thing you have as you go
down is personal services.
[22:40] So Jeff Sutton uh worked for us for
about uh half a half a year and we paid
[22:48] him $5,960.
Mary Lou came in periodically
[22:54] uh when we needed help because uh we
didn't have anybody.
[22:58] » Yep. And then the treasury got some
money and uh so that's that's that's
[23:05] that
he was a clerk.
[23:11] » Okay. Any questions on page eight?
>> No.
[23:15] » Okay.
>> Oh, page eight. Yes. Who is uh Perchal
[23:20] Funeral Home? That's a new funeral home.
>> That is a funeral home. Let's see.
[23:26] Where's that on the page?
I I see it. $3,750.
[23:31] » Uhhuh.
>> Normally, we would have spent like
[23:35] $4,000.
>> I just want to know where it is.
[23:39] » So, that is not in our county. Okay.
out. I can't remember what time it's in,
[23:45] but
uh she did that uh at a discount for us
[23:53] because the family already had the plot,
didn't have enough money to have the
[23:58] funeral and the showing. Uh so that
represents that max cheaper than our
[24:04] $4,000.
>> So any other questions on page eight?
[24:11] » [snorts]
[24:14] » No. Okay.
>> For me.
[24:17] » Well, yeah. When you these apartment
complex payments, are these
[24:23] » rent? How many? But you don't have to
get into this specific like how many?
[24:27] This is rent, right?
>> That's [clears throat] rent. If somebody
[24:30] lives in that apartment, we assist them.
That's rent.
[24:36] » And is it for how long? Does it vary? Is
it usually just a month?
[24:41] So, if right now I have a lady that's
been coming and she's we've g and we've
[24:49] given her over $10,000 in resistance.
She was in Iraq and she's getting a
[24:56] settlement uh being put through by uh
Keller and Keller and she has signed a
[25:04] subigation agreement that we will get
every penny back when that settlement
[25:09] comes
>> but typically it's just one or two
[25:12] months. one or two months except for
when somebody has cancer.
[25:18] We may help them longer, but that's
usually only last about three months
[25:23] until they're no longer with us.
[25:28] [snorts]
>> Main homes, I'm just looking at these
[25:31] and these are a variety of [snorts]
mainet
[25:37] home park.
>> So, here's how that works, Steve.
[25:41] If anybody comes in from that apartment
complex and we have more than one person
[25:47] come in, then that dollars go up. Some
of these that are 1150 or something like
[25:53] that, we only had one family come in. So
the lower numbers represent fewer
[25:59] assistance. The higher numbers represent
people that we may have four or five
[26:05] people come in from that complex.
>> Okay.
[26:08] » What's First Key Homes? First Key Homes
is
[26:13] a a house that uh somebody
uh
[26:19] we have First Key is one of those that
came in and bought a lot of houses in
[26:25] our our community and so those are
people that live in
[26:30] » rentals.
>> Rentals.
[26:31] » Okay.
>> Any other questions?
[26:36] » No sir.
>> Okay. If you look at the page nine, uh
[26:41] that's just showing pretty much what we
spent uh on personal services uh taxes.
[26:52] Okay, that's payroll taxes.
>> Okay, page 10.
[27:03] [snorts]
[27:06] I'm trying to see which that's
>> looks like township.
[27:10] » What town?
>> Looks like township.
[27:12] » Yeah, it's township. What we paid in
township for salaries.
[27:16] » Okay.
>> Total.
[27:19] And then we had operating supplies. Uh
and that all comes together. So we spent
[27:24] a total uh on all things $98,61124.
[27:32] We also uh uh spent uh
wait we had
[27:40] I I gave you the wrong number,
>> right? That's okay.
[27:43] » We we spent $188,5123
[27:49] spent cent on distributions.
[27:58] So you can uh the next one just tells
you the funds that we had that uh were
[28:05] reported the fun and that's all that
does.
[28:08] » Y
>> and then the next page is blank.
[28:14] » The next page uh shows you payroll
deductions.
[28:21] » All right.
>> And that were minus 3527.
[28:24] Okay,
>> the next page is blank. We do not have
[28:30] any leases that we're paying.
Uh we did not have any transfer of
[28:35] funds.
>> So that page is blank. Page 15. Moving
[28:38] on to 16.
>> Yeah. Then on 16 that shows the value of
[28:44] our property and our assets that we have
inside the building. Uh and so we have a
[28:51] total of $1,460
[28:56] and $385
>> 16
[29:00] » the
>> 16.
[29:02] » So if you add the building the property
and our and the things that we have in
[29:06] the building, we're reporting 1 million
>> $460
[29:13] and $385.
>> Okay.
[29:16] » $385. Yep.
>> Yeah. I'm sorry.
[29:18] » Okay. Moving on 17's blank.
>> 17 we do not do anything with any
[29:22] government.
>> Yeah, that's right.
[29:25] » And then 18, 19, and 20 uh are our TA7s.
Those are not audited. Uh and so uh as a
[29:39] rule, if you have a question on any of
those, I'll answer. But
[29:45] a lot of that information that is other
under other other than township those
[29:50] are numbers that were given uh by the
different
[29:54] » agencies. Okay.
>> And that is 18 19 and 20.
[30:00] » He's got quite so clear on this. This
this page 18 19 this is not report. What
[30:07] do you say it's not reporting you mean?
>> Excuse me.
[30:10] » You say
>> the auditor. The auditor. auditor
[30:13] » would not look at this.
>> The auditors don't pay attention to the
[30:17] TA7
because there's no way they can audit
[30:22] the fact that the partnership for uh
healthier Johnson County spends hundreds
[30:28] of thousands of dollars. We're told that
by the different agencies.
[30:34] Same as uh Mount Pleasant Christian
Church cannot tell us how much money
[30:40] they've donated in food and clothing.
They tell us if we refer people to them
[30:47] how much we should count per person in
the household. We keep records of that
[30:52] all year long and that's where we come
up with some of those dollars. Um
[30:58] » and I know you don't want to but the
total number of requests for township it
[31:02] says 119 but the total number of
recipients 288 are these multiple by the
[31:09] same no so 119
uh households came in uh are we approved
[31:17] or disapproved during the year their
household
[31:23] total of residents were 28 86.
So if we had a household,
[31:29] » so that's a belly button. So it was 286
belly buttons,
[31:33] » right? Okay.
>> So number one or number one is the
[31:38] » Yeah. The home
>> and this is the number
[31:40] » number of people
>> number of people served.
[31:43] » Yeah. Belly, right?
>> Any any other questions on the TA7?
[31:51] » No, thank you.
So then that drops over to where I sign
[31:56] it and basically on the testing that uh
those numbers are are true and accurate
[32:03] to the best of
>> your knowledge
[32:06] » our knowledge and our calculations.
So, and I told the other two board
[32:12] members, but I'm going to tell you this
is about how thick our
[32:19] call log is for people that call and we
keep records of everybody that calls and
[32:25] we keep a record of everybody we made a
referral to. We're the only ones I know
[32:31] in the state that tie it down that time.
All right. So, [clears throat] I signed
[32:36] that saying that was good. All right.
>> But that was 119.
[32:41] » What
>> you said? The number of people that
[32:43] called inactive.
>> No, that's the number of people that
[32:47] came in for assistance.
>> So they call and there are a lot of
[32:50] » other things that they're calling. Okay.
I'm I'm sorry to add to I want to make
[32:55] sure that I'm clear.
>> Even if somebody calls from Pleasant
[32:58] Township, we record it and refer them to
people. Okay.
[33:02] » All right. So, the last page are
questions that we have to answer. Uh,
[33:09] » can we put yes to the teacher retirement
fund?
[33:12] » No, because we wouldn't do that.
>> Oh, darn darn it. Help me out a little
[33:16] bit. No, I'm kidding.
>> Well, we could try and put yes
[33:20] » to Peggy Young.
>> No,
[33:23] » but then but Peggy, I don't want you
looking this way.
[33:27] » You know what that means?
>> You're looking through bars. Oh, yes.
[33:32] Yes. Yes.
>> Well, that wouldn't be me.
[33:37] » I'm not the trustee.
>> No, [laughter]
[33:40] I would I would give it to you.
>> We could We're all
[33:47] [laughter]
>> Peggy, as you always do.
[33:50] » Yes.
>> This is the certification that I
[33:53] presented it to Ford.
>> Okay. And so you sign uh as right here.
[34:02] » Okay.
>> And then you're everybody's going to
[34:06] sign next to their name down here.
[clears throat]
[34:12] » I don't know why, but Jay,
>> I don't know either.
[34:16] » So, we need all these copies. The reason
you need all these copies, you need one.
[34:24] I need one and then we need
>> Thank you.
[34:27] » the others for our minutes and then I
have to take one down to the officer.
[34:34] » Okay.
>> Do you want to read that or not?
[34:37] » Sure.
[34:41] » I Mark Messik.
>> Yes.
[34:43] » Trustee of White River Township, Johnson
County, Indiana. do solemnly affirm
[34:48] under the penalty of perjury that the
proceeding report contains the
[34:51] information required by Indiana code
36-6-4-13
[34:56] and it is true and correct that the
amounts with which I am charged in this
[35:02] report are all of the amounts received
by me and that the various items of
[35:06] expenditures credited have been fully
paid in the amount stated that such
[35:11] payments were made without express or
implied agreement that any portion
[35:15] thereof of shall be retained by or
repaid to me or to any other person. A
[35:21] complete abstract that contains the
statements required under Indiana code
[35:26] 36-6-4-13
[35:29] A5 and A6 is available for inspection in
the county auditor's office. I further
[35:35] affirm that a complete and detailed
annual report together with all
[35:39] accompanying vouchers showing the names
of persons having been paid by the
[35:43] township have been filed as required by
law in the office of the county auditor
[35:48] and that copies of such annual report
are in custody of the township board and
[35:52] the state board of accounts. Said report
is subject to inspection by any taxpayer
[35:57] of the township. Mark message 317 No,
I'm not going to give your number out.
[36:04] Okay. So, uh we just need that motion to
accept the annual report and then a
[36:12] signature.
>> Do I have a motion
[36:15] » to accept the annual report?
[clears throat]
[36:20] » Okay. Do I have a second?
>> Yes.
[36:25] » All in favor?
I
[36:27] » I
>> Okay. Next thing on your agenda is my
[36:32] report.
And we didn't put some things on the
[36:36] agenda because we were told by the state
board of accounts that we are not to
[36:42] discuss the audit. The audit has been
approved until they put out the results
[36:50] themselves. We can't talk about it. U it
was a fairly good audit. uh we didn't
[36:57] have anything uh that they really
objected to except something that they
[37:04] would object to this year uh
is how we pay our taxes and uh and we
[37:13] need to make sure when we close out the
year that that balance is zero.
[37:21] So if we pay taxes
uh before that is zero, they're saying
[37:30] correctly.
I mean the bank balances. So they don't
[37:35] they're not going to write this up.
So that's the audit report. Uh I can't
[37:42] tell you uh anything else about it.
Steve attended the the uh exit interview
[37:49] and I attended the exit interview and
when they published their report, if you
[37:54] have any questions, please call me or
Steve.
[37:58] » But to just to follow up, the only
qualification were what you just
[38:03] mentioned. I'm not
>> leaving how did we don't leave any
[38:08] dollars.
>> We
[38:10] » that that was what they stated,
>> right?
[38:12] » Yeah. Okay. I mean, but it since the
banks all balanced, they're saying that
[38:19] our financials are in order. Okay.
>> All right.
[38:23] » So, then the next report I have is
basically
[38:28] what's going on in the House and the
Senate
[38:32] uh with the merger bill. Bill 270
is the Senate bill uh that's going to
[38:41] require uh that we uh merge.
It may not require that White River
[38:48] Township merges because of our size and
because of how we do our business. If we
[38:55] did do our business the way we are, we
would get points. And if and if uh uh we
[39:03] had any openings in our staff uh as far
as the the board and the trustee, we
[39:09] would get points. If we don't help
people, we will get points. If we don't
[39:14] have a set of standards, we will get
points. Anybody getting four points will
[39:20] be basically forced to merge with an
identity township regardless of the
[39:26] size. Regardless, doesn't make any
difference. So that that's my report
[39:32] there.
I do have one item uh under other
[39:37] business for the good of the township. I
have a resolution that I want to present
[39:44] because we're changing uh on the form 17
which we can change periodically during
[39:51] the year the amount of money that we're
going to pay the board. Uh we as we know
[39:58] that uh we overbudgeted
uh but we were still going to give the
[40:03] board the same percentage of raise that
uh that I'm living under this year. Uh
[40:11] so the board will be now paid $2,900
uh a person.
[40:19] And so uh you need to know that. But you
also have to sign the resolution for
[40:25] that. None of the other payments uh that
were on the original form 17 have
[40:32] changed. Okay.
>> Okay.
[40:35] » Uh so I'll hand this to you, but I'll
explain it and then ask for a
[40:39] resolution. Charles, how $500?
>> Yeah.
[40:44] So, uh, the trustee will continue to
receive the amount that was approved of
[40:50] $45,000.
The, uh, clerks will get $25 each. And
[40:57] so will our part-time employees, anybody
that is employed by
[41:01] » 25 per hour.
>> 25 per hour. Then the board will get
[41:07] $2,900 per year paid quarterly. [snorts]
We have an investigator.
[41:13] uh if we fill that position, they will
get paid $50 per case. And a part-time
[41:22] uh
a case [clears throat] worker on on the
[41:27] uh side of the assistance, they will get
$25 an hour. Also,
[41:33] » investigator $75.
>> Now, investigator gets paid $50 per
[41:38] investigation.
[snorts] All right. So, do do you want
[41:44] to call for a vote?
>> You'll need
[41:48] » to discuss or
>> Yeah, I'll need one.
[41:51] » Wait a minute. This is the agenda.
>> Well, that's all I want you to sign.
[41:56] » Well, [clears throat] okay. [laughter]
All right.
[41:58] » So, it's up to you if you want to read
it.
[42:00] » So, the resolution is to establish
salaries of the township officers
[42:04] employers. Do I have a motion to
approve?
[42:08] » David, would you like to make that?
Yeah.
[42:12] » [snorts]
>> David
[42:13] » yes
>> has first motion. Do I have a second?
[42:17] » I'll second. All in favor?
>> I
[42:20] » I
[42:27] made the resolution.
[42:31] » So here's the the last item that uh that
appears on the the deal. [clears throat]
[42:38] I will be calling a [snorts]
He has Steve has
[42:42] » as we always do. I will be calling a
meeting
[42:45] » that Steve
>> I will be calling a meeting for the
[42:49] public hearing of our 2027
budget in September.
[42:57] I will also be calling a meeting after
that 10 days after that uh to adopt our
[43:05] 2027 budget. Uh and that's the next
meeting that we have on the uh calendar.
[43:14] Peggy can call a meeting. Two members of
the board may call a meeting and I may
[43:19] call a meeting. Uh so if we don't meet
between now and September, uh we don't
[43:27] have to meet until we do the budget.
Any other thing that you'd like to ask
[43:32] the trustee?
>> Do we want to schedule the September
[43:35] meeting? We don't know until I met with
the Department of Local Government
[43:40] Finance.
>> Okay.
[43:42] » And after I meet with them and we have
the budget established, then we'll call
[43:47] that meeting.
>> Yes. I have a question.
[43:50] » Sure.
[43:55] I This is really a personal question.
>> Okay. I uh
[44:03] I'm becoming an old man real quick.
93.
[44:08] » Wow. And the Can you print these things
in bigger type
[44:15] the annual reports? I cannot because
that's on the Department of Local
[44:20] Government finance. I can print the
agendas and any resolutions any size uh
[44:27] that you want. I will print those.
>> I can't read the damn thing. I I will
[44:33] make sure that they are big because it
won't make any difference if they're
[44:38] more than one page. But yes, I will do
that.
[44:43] » I I can't do that on any department and
local government forms.
[44:50] [snorts and clears throat]
>> Any other
[44:53] magician?
>> Anything else?
[44:57] » I'm going to close it. [snorts]
>> Okay. Thank you very much.
