[0:00] We use the township whistle, provided that the meeting was joined in the election of the crack.
[0:05] We have to leave the seats to select. I mean the United States and America.
[0:09] And take it out of the place and
[0:15] let it be discussed at the talk.
[0:25] In a second recession on the 3rd,
[0:39] it's a time of 3rd, it's a time of 9th.
[0:41] It's a time of 3rd, it's a time of 9th.
[0:44] This is the 7th 3rd, I must say the whole,
[0:50] the 7th 3rd, the 7th 5th.
[0:53] So, so, I
[0:57] was a favor on that.
[1:02] Proof of one, the treasurer's report for
[1:10] back in bed in the discussion, or some
[1:12] bigger
[1:15] managers report.
[1:25] So, a couple of things, just want to let you know that the school bus stop flash from
[1:30] 6 to 11, that's damaged, I submitted that as a claim to the insurance company and the
[1:35] already has received the money for the damages minus the $2,500 that we have to pay for
[1:42] are deductible.
[1:43] I register Tom Brown in the Board and he will be conserved in this bill, open state
[1:47] sign.
[1:48] It's going to be held on November 13th in Chester Springs.
[1:53] I was also notified, I'll go over the insurance, that's on the agency, but I'll come back
[2:03] to that.
[2:05] Right, I reached out to me concerning the likes of Roscoe Park not working, I checked with my strong.
[2:11] He was only that he reached out to the head end in April of 2002 to have the likes disconnected.
[2:16] Actually, he talked to one of the neighbors.
[2:19] He said that the residents were concerned that the local lights staying on and out,
[2:23] that brought the influx of individuals into the parkway that came.
[2:26] Michael Stella talked to Nancy, I wanted to see what the consensus was with her and the neighbors.
[2:32] As to whether they wanted the light to be turned back on or whether or not the board would like me to just make sure I call my head and tell them to disconnect it and let it go.
[2:46] Did you hear anything back from Nancy?
[2:49] No, I even went into the back.
[2:52] I talked to Nancy last night.
[2:56] She talked to nine residents, eight out of the home of the lay-on mother.
[3:05] Okay, I'll get in touch with that, Ed.
[3:09] And it doesn't need to be under the work of those that are in any way, so there should
[3:12] be an employee in the work at the door.
[3:16] I received a call from head to downloads from the President Board asking if he could,
[3:21] if the Land Preservation Board could go ahead and reserve this room for a town hall meeting on the
[3:28] remember Ted at 7 p.m.
[3:30] They also asked if it's how she would be willing to print the letters and pay for the postage
[3:35] like we did for the rest of them last November.
[3:39] They would stock the elbows and then we would just get them out here and in our mailbox.
[3:44] The meeting would be similar to the prior meeting in hopes of educating residents,
[3:48] how to present them on open space, et cetera.
[3:51] Matt Bagel would also be here telling them along the way.
[3:54] So I just need your approval for the time to go ahead and use the building and the approval for us print the letters and paper postage if that is your design.
[4:10] So we need a motion to spend the $2,295, the
[4:20] insurance premium.
[4:21] She's talking to me about the landing preservation board must have found how it works out.
[4:29] I don't have a dollar if you're on the postage.
[4:37] I can't give you a dollar if I'm not on the postage.
[4:42] It's going to be similar to what it was back in November of last year or December.
[4:47] We need to vote for you, just to be the consensus to us.
[4:51] I'll make a motion that we approve the approval
[4:56] of the panel.
[4:56] I'll workshop that.
[4:58] I'll say in that.
[5:01] Any further discussion?
[5:02] All those in favor?
[5:04] Aye.
[5:05] Thank you.
[5:06] I also reached out to Tree Room to let them know
[5:08] that the council would need to cancel the narration
[5:10] and go receding that was due to be done this year.
[5:13] I told her that there was a number of teams that were still using the field until the late November.
[5:19] The iteration and no exceeding will be scheduled for mid-September of 27,
[5:24] and no teams will be able to utilize the fields from September 10th of 27 to the Spring of 2020.
[5:31] The
[5:36] rest that I have on here is on the agenda.
[5:40] One thing that I do have on the agenda for your approval is that
[5:45] received
[5:49] notification of the Brown and Brown who is our insurance carrier at the
[5:53] Township Solution of Liability and Policy is up for renewal. Last year's
[5:58] premium was $2,000,000 since removing the 1970 oil tank as the community
[6:04] building, the cost was decreased last year to 1718. The insurance company is
[6:11] So offering a two-year premium for $1,696, or a three-year premium in amount of $2,295.
[6:21] My recommendation is to go with a three-year premium, so I will need a motion on that as well.
[6:27] The motion for that, rather than motion, is to run a dog, being sure scared of a three-year
[6:34] We played in 2002 and 1990, but a little second debt, discussion, a little favor.
[6:41] Hi.
[6:42] Thank you.
[6:49] Good.
[6:50] Mike?
[6:53] Yeah, two things.
[7:00] Maybe non-tracker to do some paid reports that are
[7:07] written.
[7:08] And I've mentioned to you is that the bid was two
[7:17] weeks ago.
[7:18] And for me, that bid that he put in is actually good for a year, even though he had 2026 on the
[7:25] the thing. On the big packet, he said it actually is good for a whole year, so it would be good until August the 27th.
[7:34] So the board doesn't have any concerns about that, I guess, to accept the bid as a whole year to August the 27th.
[7:48] August 31st of 2027 versus December 31st of 2026.
[7:55] Did we have a day no minute when we approved the last meeting I said was to the end of this year.
[8:04] So it's actually after the contract, we said that it was actually for a whole year.
[8:10] So it would go until August 27th.
[8:16] We just want to extend it to August for extending my set contract from the baby contract
[8:23] until August 30th to the 27th, and I'll say it that the discussion was a favor, I
[8:45] Yes, with one of our employees being deployed for sure, so I was looking to see if we get
[8:53] the approval,
[8:58] see the moment of employment.
[9:06] This would be just a approval to
[9:14] sign up on a
[9:19] full-time and
[9:24] puny contract stipulates the
[9:26] from April 1st to November 1st, you are full-time employees that are coming off in the
[9:34] climate of some time and mid-winner or so for months that are going to be short and
[9:42] employee. So with the board's approval to extend them until the full-time employee comes back.
[9:51] If I can just make a question.
[9:53] So, if we be extending this thing, employment to April 30th of 27th, if by chance the employee
[10:04] is not that kind of employment until after that, then the township would revisit it.
[10:09] Again, the union takes second, past, April 30th of date.
[10:14] So, if you want the motion now just to go to April 30th of 27th.
[10:19] That's what the lawyer says.
[10:19] I'll make a motion to extend the aggregate.
[10:24] Squeeze employment of equal 30 to 2027 or until the
[10:30] percentage of the income's back work.
[10:33] I'll second it in discussion a little bit there and I love it.
[10:44] I pretty much just had my report on one big thing that they've
[10:48] last, since last many years, we have a research called the downgrade, all except the section
[10:55] that we have some more issues that we have to correct with the problem of other than that.
[11:00] Do you have any questions on my report or the number?
[11:03] Through the
[11:15] gentlemen, I heard a contractor moving in and removed the battle in the board
[11:19] from the problem.
[11:20] That's been in the beginning in November.
[11:23] I'm sorry, I'm not using this.
[11:24] We do have two hearings. The continuation of 16th Berger Road will be on September 23rd
[11:33] and a new variance request of Borthet Butterwell Road.
[11:41] David will be there for the 16th Berger Road, but you said you don't need him for the 4th and butterwell road.
[11:47] You know, it's a funding proposal I've received over a minute from calls about that property.
[11:56] There's so many environmental revelations on there.
[11:59] So these are requesting, it has a task card with a material black or with a soil scientist.
[12:07] So it's asking to be able to build a private use garage.
[12:12] Thank you.
[12:14] So, we'll get to the action that they placed today.
[12:25] I think commission report will be here.
[12:43] On the agenda here is for Project 2025-1.
[12:48] And all that I have is a few weeks ago, my last meeting is it's another netted,
[12:54] way to see issues.
[12:56] I don't know that anything's been updated in the last three weeks.
[13:00] you know, so I haven't told 15 specifically. So I don't know exactly why that's on the agenda.
[13:06] If there's, it's still, we can see, which is pretty much what it's been for the last year.
[13:12] This was, we got a request from Cohen Associates for that property.
[13:18] They had gone out and done a survey, and a
[13:28] conditional money for $850.
[13:30] dollars just as a board know as I did contact that bad about that because then why would we need to get
[13:39] for the additional money to them if they missed the bonus. So my recommendation would not to not
[13:48] give additional funds for the survey. I can call Matt Abbott tomorrow and talk to Cohen Associates
[13:54] regarding that, but I don't think that we need to provide additional funds. I think that should
[14:00] within the original survey cost.
[14:03] You anticipated my next comment,
[14:05] I was gonna suggest the same thing.
[14:09] That's all I have to say.
[14:13] Yes, no.
[14:14] Yes.
[14:15] Not too good
[14:20] for this one,
[14:21] for a survey of $8.50,
[14:23] or so, I'll turn it on.
[14:26] But I'll second that.
[14:29] Discussion?
[14:30] Just one question,
[14:31] so if I understand it,
[14:33] this has already been,
[14:34] It's not like they're, we're asking men to do something in addition to what we've all
[14:40] been contracted and for correct, correct.
[14:43] That's my understanding.
[14:43] I do.
[14:44] And I actually sent an email back.
[15:03] May I have a chairwoman?
[15:12] May I have one thing to report to them? May be September 26th is our festival. And it's from three o'clock in the afternoon until seven. And of course, since the start, we'll have our great fireworks again. And we're looking for volunteers always.
[15:33] It's a nice day. There we is. I always like to comment on festival. It's always a great day.
[15:41] dollars a great day. Everybody has a great day. It's a well put on a
[15:46] program. Yes, Jonathan does a excellent job. Yes, that's it. Thank you.
[15:56] Here's your report. We have, you know, I think you want to highlight enough.
[16:02] September 8th at engineering courts. I can't say any questions.
[16:08] I have none.
[16:08] no, no, no.
[16:11] This is a report, the interest report and instrument
[16:15] are required.
[16:41] I will
[17:07] leave a statement.
[17:16] As the men did governs, the funding requirements for all
[17:19] municipal pension plans, the law requires the cheap
[17:23] administrative officer of each pension plan to inform
[17:26] the government on the municipality of the plans
[17:29] expected financial obligation for the coming year.
[17:32] This must be done by the last business day in September.
[17:34] Calculation for the 2027 MMO requires an estimate of the 2026 W-2 wages of employees covered by the plan.
[17:46] I've been engaged on the attached worksheet my best estimate of the same.
[17:50] It's basically just a estimate of what might think everything will be.
[17:57] The MMO is the municipality's 2027 bill for dispensal plan, must be paid by December 31st, 2027.
[18:07] The obligation must be met with general funds or any general state aid to municipal pensions to which we may be entitled under Act 105.
[18:17] So I just need a motion to go ahead and approve the motion that I gave you.
[18:24] And now, go ahead and turn that in.
[18:27] I'll make a motion to improve the 2027 minimal municipal obligation.
[18:32] I'll stick in there.
[18:33] Any discussion?
[18:34] A little favor?
[18:36] Aye.
[18:37] We
[18:40] need a motion to localize the solicitor, to draft the agreement of sale, and transfer,
[18:47] shred the bill of street property to William's township.
[18:49] Just
[18:53] so the next three are all working in court nations, one other at the, within the
[19:00] settlement agreement we had with Trent, the one of the greater points was that they would
[19:06] transfer this piece of property to us as you're aware we did subdivide this property, we
[19:14] just subdivided, we were at the stage that we need now need them to transfer it over to
[19:20] us, once it is transferred over to us, we are going to have to do some work on the property
[19:29] to determine how much dirt and raw ferrets because within the agreement, Trin gets to keep
[19:39] dirt out of the property.
[19:42] And before that is done, we need our follow-up works to go in and actually clear the site
[19:51] and to test it to determine how much rock to dirt there is.
[19:57] So we have a series of these.
[19:58] The first motion is to authorize the solicitor to draft an agreement of sale
[20:03] to transfer of the Shrin-Hillman-Rocky to Williams-Nounship
[20:07] and authorize the execution of that agreement
[20:10] to sail by the township man.
[20:17] Thank you, motion authorize.
[20:19] Citizens to draft an agreement with a sail
[20:21] and transfer of string, hill,
[20:23] treats property to who is damaged.
[20:26] And an authorize execution of the agreement
[20:28] to sail by the township man.
[20:37] The discussion over to the favor of the government.
[20:44] I would say for you, Ray, you would like its
[20:47] is a motion to authorize call years engineering,
[20:53] do the geotechnical engineering,
[20:57] upstream, hill, street, property.
[21:00] And I think that's an accordance with the agreement of sale.
[21:03] Do we have a cost of that not to exceed?
[21:09] have a cost of that not to exceed $6,000.
[21:14] Not to exceed $6,000?
[21:16] Correct.
[21:17] The
[21:26] motion to authorize Collier engineering to complete the geotechnical engineering
[21:34] street
[21:38] property for the agreement to sale not to exceed $6,000.
[21:42] The
[21:47] discussion over the favor of an ocean
[21:53] is to authorize public works to rent the necessary
[21:58] equipment, clear the site, and didn't pass pets on the string, no mystery property not to exceed my
[22:10] What we said, I think, and the else would be better with around $4,000, and then for the weekend, so
[22:17] Can we say $6,000, we're supposed to say $6,000, we can build it
[22:45] Okay,
[22:56] we have to see from while we're
[22:57] talking their proposed ordinance for revising their official map, and there was material in there that told us what they were going to do.
[23:08] That was reviewed by myself, who was used by Naomi, who was reviewed by Suzanne, and was reviewed by Ron.
[23:16] All of us found that all of that would not impact, wouldn't be an impact, wouldn't just not sit at all.
[23:24] So we don't have any objection to them doing that.
[23:28] If we would have an objection, we would go to their meeting and object to it.
[23:33] And that's the reason why you do it.
[23:35] If you're being friendly with us and providing us, just notice what they're intending to do.
[23:41] So about that they have a special impact when it's out.
[23:46] In the letter of support for a Eastern emergency squad, LSA grant.
[23:55] I'm going to have to go back to the emergency squad.
[24:04] So the grant administrator from the city of Eastern is assigned for an LSA award that
[24:13] support months to upgrade the East and the MS ambulance structures. It would be a great benefit,
[24:21] not just to the Eastern residents, but also members of Williams Township as well since the area of
[24:27] the service territory actually falls. We fall into that category of the Eastern. I have
[24:36] We start with O.
[24:38] Breakfast at a letter of support,
[24:43] and it reports so wishes to go ahead
[24:47] and,
[24:48] I will see this from this,
[24:50] I will go ahead and send it to the Grants Administrator
[24:54] of Kiss City,
[24:55] the professing of an OS and the letter of support
[24:58] for them to go ahead and try to obtain this grant
[25:02] for the structures.
[25:03] It would be for currently the use of emergency squad is only because the only purchase
[25:11] fund organization lacking modern structures outfitted to their annualises.
[25:16] The city is requesting funds to purchase five modern annuals costs that are self-liquid
[25:21] and built for today's emergency plan.
[25:26] I put in there that we believe these upgrades will increase efficiency and safety for
[25:34] So if you're in a range with a letter, I'll sign it and I'll give it to you.
[25:38] That doesn't need both answers.
[25:41] Does this?
[25:43] I guess it's going to be.
[25:44] It's going to be a consensus.
[25:46] Yeah.
[25:46] And I don't know.
[25:47] Yeah.
[25:47] It's just a lot of answers.
[25:49] That's really good.
[25:51] Thank you.
[25:54] Thank you.
[26:00] I don't know if anybody is silent.
[26:02] The comment ships coming.
[26:14] George, I was here in New York 25 years ago.
[26:17] This week we were installing those fashion signals
[26:20] and they'll talk about it on the 6th and 11th of the school buses.
[26:25] And September 11th, that morning was gorgeous.
[26:28] I went to the first one in Robsville.
[26:30] And I heard on the radio news that a plane
[26:33] hit one of the world's greatest efforts.
[26:35] That's all they said.
[26:36] By the time we got to the Northern site,
[26:39] other than we saw a treatment plan,
[26:41] the news was these were large dental jets
[26:46] and a second plane did the second tower.
[26:50] Came back to the township building in no office.
[26:53] I heard Debbie Paterson yell from upstairs.
[26:57] We're up here watching the news, went up,
[27:00] and we watched both the towering school.
[27:04] would say to about Williams Township, unfortunately, for 11 and Friday morning, I'll be talking to
[27:11] Debbie Dennis, when I could do every year, but I'll never forget.
[27:19] We do people do.
[27:38] I'm here as a concern resident of Williams Township.
[27:42] I want to address the license plate reader cameras that are now operating in Township.
[27:47] I recently reviewed the board's June 10 meeting, those minutes showed that the Township was
[27:54] concerns surveillance cameras for the parks. One of the options presented
[27:57] including the license plate reader and the board reached the consensus for the
[28:01] Township Manager and public works directly to meet with the company and
[28:05] develop a plan. But that raises a basic question of what happened after that
[28:09] because as of July meeting minutes contain no discussion of license plate
[28:14] readers, no discussion of installing a camera set of roadway reflections and no
[28:18] explaining, no public explanation of where these cameras would be located or what
[28:23] system in township ultimately chose.
[28:25] They're ported to publicly available
[28:27] to block camera back in data.
[28:29] Two license plate reader cameras were already showed up
[28:32] as installed in Wayne County.
[28:34] One working for the road and industrial drive
[28:37] and another at Island Park Road and Island Court.
[28:40] I don't want to make assumptions
[28:41] about how these cameras came to be here,
[28:44] but I don't have that because I don't have that information.
[28:47] But I do think it is reasonable for residents
[28:49] to ask the township to explain the presence.
[28:51] If these cameras were authorized by the township, when and how are they authorized?
[28:56] Were they a part of the plan discussed in June?
[28:59] And if they were not authorized by the township, does the township know who installed them
[29:03] and why they are operating here?
[29:05] I would also like to understand why there has been no public announcement or discussion
[29:09] with the residents about these cameras or the outcome of the meeting
[29:12] between the public work director, township manager, and surveillance company.
[29:16] For those of how they came to be here, I want to be clear that I oppose
[29:19] places played weird, surveillance and Williams Township, and I believe this
[29:23] camera should be removed. Our neighboring city of Houston has substantially
[29:27] higher, has a substantially higher crime murder than Williams Township, yet it's
[29:31] said council recently blocked the reports of her license plate cameras after
[29:35] residents raised concerns about being routinely surveilled if they were
[29:39] going about their day lives. I think that is worth considering here. Williams Township
[29:44] does not need to create a system that reports the movements of ordinary residents simply
[29:48] because they drive to our community, so tonight I'm asking the board to explain how these
[29:53] cameras came to be here, make the relevant contracts and policies public, and it takes steps
[29:57] to remove the license plate readers from Williams Township.
[30:11] She just called for comment. It's not really only agenda item, I don't know if we can really get into this. But she couldn't have a good idea of what I would ask you to do is, can you call Melanie Hertz? And she can have a discussion with her about that, about this. And she'll give you all the information that great. Okay.
