Thank you all. Supervisor's report. Um it has been a busy last 33 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:56,879 month. Um we celebrated some of our agencies including the Northshore Senior 34 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:04,080 Center had its 70th anniversary party which was a lovely shindig um a saka um 35 00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:07,599 which was well attended um that was a wonderful activity and it's really nice 36 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:13,760 to see how well you know the whole place has um been renovated since their uh 37 00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:18,239 roof issues. Um so it all looks great and they're very active. We also had 38 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:22,800 joint review board meetings across the township. There are two tip districts as 39 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,400 we discussed at our last meeting. Um well, one is proposed and one exists. 40 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,840 One is Kennallorth which has been in existence for for some time. Um we were 41 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:37,199 reviewing the current state of the of the TIF. Um they there has they have 42 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,800 come to the point now where they have um engaged engineers and have engineering 43 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,560 plans. So we were able to see those plans online. They're on their website. 44 00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:49,520 So, that's exciting that they're turning that corner into implementation um 45 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:55,040 because it has been a long time coming. Um the JRB 46 00:04:52,560 --> 00:05:00,479 meeting or the proposed tip district in Northfield was extremely well attended. 47 00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:06,479 Per this board's instructions, we took no position. Um the first vote was on 48 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:13,199 whether to approve the Northfield Township, the Northfield villages um 49 00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:17,199 tiff um as recommended that um we voted we abstained from. Um that was the 50 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:22,320 motion that I brought before this board and had instructions for. Then someone 51 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:28,400 made a motion to oppose the Edward Northfield um tip district where I did 52 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:34,960 not have instructions and where an where an abension would have been an 53 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:42,320 affirmative vote. So I exited. Um the JRB did vote against the TIFF 54 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:47,840 district. If you recall from, you know, undergrad or law school, um the North 55 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:53,120 Northfield may still establish a TIFF. Um but it does have a higher vote 56 00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:58,880 threshold now. Um so but there were a lot of um very active and concerned 57 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:04,400 citizens who spoke on both sides of the issue but mostly against the tiff at 58 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:09,120 that meeting um and it was very interesting to hear people's perspective 59 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:13,600 especially from um current businesses on how it would affect I did raise um the 60 00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:18,560 concern I generally raise at JB meetings which is if you're going to have for 61 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:22,160 housing as a part of this um endeavor which is one of the things that they 62 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:27,520 were looking for under their TE program that it' be affordable housing um which 63 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:34,000 was not clear from the current um proposal. Um all right, so that was GRB. 64 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:41,120 We also had um I I'll let Jan um our assessor talk about the about the board 65 00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:46,800 review meeting. Um we I was um honored to be invited to the Pakistan American 66 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:54,800 Chamber of Commerce Gala uh in Skoi um with um Mayor Bis and um clerk of Evston 67 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:58,800 um Stephanie Mendoza. Um and it was it was quite an interesting program about 68 00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:03,120 uh health care. It was mostly about um healthc care employment and ways for to 69 00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:10,639 increase bilateral trade between Pakistan and the northern suburbs. So it 70 00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:15,680 was very interesting. Um the uh we had also celebrated Northfield villages 71 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:22,000 centennial. So that was wonderful. That was an amazing event. Really well done. 72 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:26,479 Um so the village worked with the park district and the chamber of commerce on 73 00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:35,199 quite ended on with music, food. Um there was a a inflatable hockey court. 74 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:39,599 Very very impressive. Um the uh we also had a multi-chamber network event here 75 00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:47,280 in the township that was not just well meta worthwhile venue but also I think 76 00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:52,319 we had um Skoi we had Evston we had it was really well attended and that was at 77 00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:56,240 um Plunkett. Um so um not many networking events that I've been to that 78 00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:59,759 have had have featured a tequila tasting um but it was nice to chat with people 79 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:04,560 and really and talk what the township does and how they can support us. Um, we 80 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:08,879 had black party in in WAT as well. Thank you to those who were able to volunteer 81 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:13,840 at that table. Um, I know I had a lot of very interesting conversations with CL 82 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,400 with um with residents um and able to answer their questions about what 83 00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:21,919 Township does and point them in the right directions. Um, 84 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:28,000 JUFF, the Jewish United Fund had hosted a lovely event uh with uh elected 85 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:33,360 officials across the northern suburbs. Um, so township, village, park 86 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:38,240 districts, school boards, um, really everyone. Um, and it was really great to 87 00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:42,479 hear from people and ways that we can collaborate. Um, today we had a Cook 88 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:48,320 County Council of Governments briefing to discuss the recent um, weather 89 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,880 related emergencies, but also about the timing um, of the property tax revenue. 90 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,920 Thankfully, we're not in a position to have to do the loans um and get the 91 00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,959 bridge loan, but that was part of what the meeting was about as well um in 92 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,720 discussions um about obtaining road district funds, which again we don't 93 00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:08,480 have to worry about. So, we're nice and um I'm grateful that we get to be 94 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:12,000 focused on just serving the people rather than um having to deal with some 95 00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:14,880 of those issues. But, I'm glad that the county was offering those loans to those 96 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:20,720 who did need it. And they did say that the mass majority were school districts 97 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:29,200 who needed those loans to make payroll. Um they also noted that um the economic 98 00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:34,399 impact of last year's um ICE activities was in the billions. So as far as both 99 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:38,959 government resources and tax dollars that were missing because people would 100 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:43,839 weren't going out to work or to shop. Um, so there's no current indication 101 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:48,320 that we'll see another increase in ACE activity ahead of the elections, but I 102 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,800 know that a number of election protection groups are keeping an eye 103 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:57,680 out. Um, uh, and finally, my Girl Scout troop 104 00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:01,680 painted the uh, pantry donation bin out in the alley, so go take a look so that 105 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:06,320 it doesn't look like a trash can and that people won't put trash in it. Um, 106 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:11,920 so thank you to the Wat Public Library for helping to create the decal. Um, so 107 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,279 take a look at that. Um, there was script instructions from Heather to make 108 00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:20,720 sure we use blue, green, and white for our c our, um, colors and our branding, 109 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:24,880 though I hopefully she appreciates it. Uh, any questions for me on supervisor's 110 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,880 report? >> Did the senior center acknowledge the 111 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:32,880 fact that they started part of the town? Um they did mention that they were part 112 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:38,000 of that they were originally founded in at the Waka Community Center. So that 113 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:40,800 was many it was true at the town. I think everyone should know that Jan and 114 00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:43,120 I were meeting. >> Wonderful. 115 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,079 » Yeah. >> Yes. 116 00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:49,600 » Question at the uh >> the event that you uh hosted at the 117 00:10:47,839 --> 00:10:54,000 table there. What kind of questions did you get as far as township related? 118 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,200 » Yes. Um I one guy who asked me about um the what's it called? Powers of 119 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,360 attorney. A lot of people were interested in passports. 120 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:07,040 » Um, let's see. I had a a couple people ask about handicap placards. Um, but 121 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:11,040 mostly, you know, there were kids. We were handing out the monarch butterfly 122 00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:14,320 seeds obviously. And then I used that to say, "Oh, and come on by. We're the food 123 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,360 pantry." So then they would, you know, we would talk about what kind of foods 124 00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:22,959 people wanted, right? >> Um, so if you need it or you want to 125 00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:26,800 drop off, right, that's there. So I do tend to start with that because I think 126 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:30,480 it's the most um >> uh tangible for for children is the 127 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:35,120 food. >> So the notary services we got you got 128 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,040 some services >> because we had some pl some you know 129 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,680 kind of table displays up like oh and they realized what kind of things can 130 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,160 you know >> exactly 131 00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:46,880 » that's nice. Well awesome. That was great. I love all the outreach you're 132 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,680 doing. It's amazing. I don't know where you have the time but 133 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:54,240 » well thanks to everybody who helped. This was a busy month and I'm sure um 134 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:58,880 we'll have more approval of the minutes. August 11, 2026 135 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:02,240 board of count of trustees meeting minutes are in your board packet. Um is 136 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,160 there a motion to approve? >> So 137 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,880 » is there a second? >> Second. 138 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,000 » Is there any discussion? >> Yep. 139 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:10,880 » All right. >> I had a question. 140 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:17,120 » Well, first let's go. >> Sorry with Kate. Um something is going 141 00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:22,079 on with some spacing after sections five six seven 142 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:30,320 uh and um at the end of 11 A 143 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:34,800 » just before 12A and at the end of 13. 144 00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:38,320 » We can figure that out and >> thank you for finding that. It's really 145 00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:42,560 challenging. It's you're I'm trying to poke around all the things. So, I will 146 00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:46,880 make due efforts to fix those things. Cool. But I'm in the midst of a car 147 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,000 emergency. No problem. Both of them have to come out immediately. I can't see. 148 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,760 I'm fighting. >> I look great. 149 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,160 » Um >> I can't cry. I can't even try. But thank 150 00:12:53,920 --> 00:13:04,480 you for that. >> And then at the end of um 11A, I think 151 00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:05,440 that you meant to move the the the motion. 152 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,440 » Yes. >> Should probably be your B. 153 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,920 But then other than that, >> I y 154 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:22,959 » um I was just curious, your verification of claim section is kind of a hybrid 155 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:28,480 between the last two and my only question is is that sufficient to comply 156 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:34,480 with what we need to be doing for purposes of what the accountant pulled 157 00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:38,480 up and etc. So is that enough detail? always more than what we had before and 158 00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:42,320 it's a little less than we had. Yeah, exactly. That's I I guess I was looking 159 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,320 for whatever you guys think would be that. 160 00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:49,839 » Well, Steve put that together because Jerome can't see. So, Steve might not 161 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:54,880 have known the extent of what is needed. He just was trying to categorize 162 00:13:51,440 --> 00:14:00,959 everything because Jerome said that. >> My question is enough and I don't know. 163 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:05,120 » So, what do you think? I mean, well, you it's up to you because it if that would 164 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,160 be more but not as much. >> I was thinking maybe reference back to 165 00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:11,399 the actual >> Yeah, I would. 166 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:19,920 » Yeah. So, you can include this. This is a nice kind of um road map, but just say 167 00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:23,880 see attached to make sure it's attached. >> Was decided in the 168 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,880 » fin 169 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,680 should we add those extra things that you're looking for too? 170 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:34,240 Yeah, I mean I would just say if you're working with the auditors now for this 171 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:37,600 year's report, check in with them and because they were the ones that 172 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:42,320 suggested that we needed to put more details into our minutes as to our 173 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:47,040 monthly expenditures and make that very transparent. So I think rather than 174 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:50,720 guessing what we should be including, maybe check with them and see if this is 175 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,920 sufficient. If not, let's add more information. 176 00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:55,360 » Good idea. >> Good point. 177 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:58,959 » Thank you. Um, and I I have one more thing on the 178 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,160 minutes if um >> Yes, please. 179 00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:06,959 » Okay, thank you. Well, I think you know, so August 11th was kind of the sunset of 180 00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:11,839 the peer jury program, and I did have to make a brief report on it that, you 181 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:17,120 know, it did um there were no partners that came forward since uh Brian Leins, 182 00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:22,959 who had founded the program years ago, um had suspended it last year, last 183 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:26,880 fall. So I don't know if we want to have a note on that in the minutes. 184 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:31,120 » Did I say did I skip that entire items really? 185 00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:35,760 » Yeah, it's not it's not in there at all. >> You know that's okay. I just think that 186 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:40,480 was very important. I will add I get it October 1st if not earlier and I 187 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:46,560 » Heather's telling me L is telling me I'm just it's impossible for me to do typing 188 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:50,240 now. It's just >> No, that's fine. I I think we should 189 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:54,720 just have that clarified in the in the minutes. The date that it was sun it was 190 00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:58,920 going to sunset. >> Sorry, I dropped it out of there. 191 00:15:59,199 --> 00:16:05,199 » Two minor things. Number five, a couple minutes. Just my last name spelling and 192 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:12,639 then uh number seven, verification of claim. Just uh that I seconded a motion. 193 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:17,759 » Okay. Oh, shoot. Under the verification. >> Yeah. 194 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:22,000 » Okay. Oh. Okay. Peter motion spelling the last item five. 195 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,000 » In which in which item? >> Item five. Spell it. 196 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,959 » Okay. Five. Okay. >> Yeah.

Let um 199 00:16:35,199 --> 00:16:43,279 all those in favor of approving the August 11, 2026 meeting minutes as 200 00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:49,920 amended, please say I. I. >> Any opposed? seeing them. Okay. 201 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:54,079 Clerk's reports. >> Okay. Uh good evening board. I have a 202 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:58,399 few things to say and I prepared them. First of all, um I had a very 203 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:02,560 interesting day here today. It was very bustling around the township and I I 204 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,559 know you've all come in at various times and get this time. It's just fascinating 205 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:10,160 to see how many people come including somebody who need a Chinese translation 206 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:14,319 for the food bank. So, I'm just impressed with how much is going on and 207 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:19,760 see the staff in action. I also was impressed always with Jan and Mike. Um, 208 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:25,280 in fact, I had a visitor today due to Jan and Mike's office. As he was waiting 209 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:29,039 for his appointment, um, he engaged me and we talked for more than half an 210 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:33,200 hour. So, I had a visitor today for the clerk's uh, meeting and he was very 211 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:38,400 interested in local government and it was very pleasing to go through a 212 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:42,720 function of the township with him, etc. Um, 213 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:49,440 and it was just nice to see how much they support residents. Um, okay. I, um, 214 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:54,160 also had a voter call me today. It was kind of neat that the shot pass on the 215 00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:58,799 information and, uh, thanks to the courier and the way it's so neatly done 216 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:02,320 here, it's, you know, all residents, but some people just need to step through it 217 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:06,320 and they want to know where they can go and that we do have early voting and 218 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,919 that a yes is open two weeks. I mean, I guess when you're, you know, been around 219 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,440 long time, so many changes in voting, but I love it. Oh, the clerk's corner 220 00:18:11,919 --> 00:18:16,559 here addresses the most immediate concern, which is voting and 221 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:21,520 registration, things that could be done around. So, that was pleasing to be able 222 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:26,320 to call her. Um I attended the top board meeting in Lamont Township which is a 223 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:33,520 hall and uh it's a thrill because I serve on that board with Gail and Jan 224 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:40,320 and uh it's really nice and it's but also a treat for us to go to other town 225 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:43,840 halls and see what they have and uh just it's kind of cool the arrangement of 226 00:18:41,919 --> 00:18:46,400 that and the furniture and the style and stuff. So so it's really neat. I'm 227 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,760 always learning and we're always learning when we serve on those boards 228 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,720 and I think in the future I'm going to share with you the minutes just so you 229 00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:57,840 can get a vibe about all the things that are going on countywide and we're kind 230 00:18:55,039 --> 00:19:01,919 of like a united effort. Uh I attended the clerk's association meeting and that 231 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:06,400 was in Flossmore down in Rich Township another hall so I put in a lot of miles 232 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:11,520 for the township but it was well worth because the clerks as always do 233 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:15,600 interesting and fun things. So, at our meeting, we devote a part of it to 234 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:19,120 honoring our deputy clerks, including Lisha Pearson. Lisha, unfortunately, 235 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:24,160 couldn't make it, but they prepared a really lovely certificate. 236 00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:28,799 » It's a very nice >> and they gave Lisha a goodie bag 237 00:19:27,679 --> 00:19:31,200 all kind of stuff. >> All sorts of 238 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:35,440 » Yes. >> I mean, if you see Rich Township stuff 239 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,440 all over, >> yes, there's a lot of it. 240 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:44,960 » Not a takeover. say but they have really nice so something we might want to 241 00:19:41,679 --> 00:19:48,720 consider which is very nice and uh then the other thing is because they remind 242 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:55,440 they talked about all the details surrounding the deputy clerk so I didn't 243 00:19:51,200 --> 00:20:00,960 have the pleasure of nominating and uh appointing and Lishia Pearson Lisha I've 244 00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:06,080 invited Lisha to serve again in that capacity because it's been years since 245 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:10,400 your initial designation and she agreed so thankfully Lisha is willing to serve 246 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:14,080 the time, but it has to be agreed upon by our supervisor and then presented to 247 00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:17,679 the board for an official vote next month meeting. I'm presenting to you now 248 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:22,400 so you know you have a heads up if anyone has any question about it. It's 249 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:26,559 uh but it's quite an honor and I do want to just say one thing before we vote 250 00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:31,520 next month that thanks god Lisha was appointed deputy clerk uh before because 251 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,720 she swore me in. I did the first set of minutes and then I stroked out. Not 252 00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:40,240 intentionally, but I stroked out and Lisha won for like what six months. You 253 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:45,360 never want to repeat that, but so she did the minutes and I was wow. Uh, so 254 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:50,480 I'd like you to consider her Gail. I I could say, but I know you'd be favorable 255 00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:54,640 and pleased with that. So, um, and then we'll swear her in the next month. And 256 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:58,080 then, uh, I mentioned already, anyone have the ink punch collection, turn them 257 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:03,440 to the courier. What a what a nice way like the way uh Heather put it in. It 258 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:11,360 was terrific. And uh let's see. Is that my And that is my report. Oh, and I'm 259 00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:14,960 just pleased that uh that we have a visitor tonight. And Miss Josie, we're 260 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:20,880 really pleased to see you again. I know you've met with supervisor, you met with 261 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:24,720 me and the uh and the uh director. I hope you plan to get involved. 262 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:30,960 » You're already impressing us. You and Bonnie coming here. for drafting you 263 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:35,919 budget your that is my report. >> Fabulous. Thank you. Any questions for 264 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:41,960 the clerk? >> Seeing none financial report James I 265 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,960 will leave you the host. 266 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:50,559 » Perfect. Good evening everyone. All right. So tonight I'm 267 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:54,080 » going to share my screen and then we will walk through the six months ended 268 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:59,280 August 31. So, we're at the halfway point in terms of our fiscal year. You 269 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:02,720 can see we did collect 50% of our tax money on the first installment. The 270 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,880 second installment, I know I got my bill, so that should be coming hopefully 271 00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:11,919 around the corner sometime in October. Uh about 1.9 million to date. Takes us 272 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,640 to 50% of the property tax budget. Replacement taxes, again, these come in 273 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:19,120 about every other month from the state of Illinois. That's the business tax at 274 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:22,960 58%. Again, 50% of the way through the year. That looks good. interest that's 275 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:28,320 going to outperform uh the budget for the year already 45,000 collected there. 276 00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:32,320 Um no no read on the Fed in terms of what they're going to do at the next 277 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:36,000 meeting but they h have held the line uh and not raised rates. I know we got a 278 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:41,039 good employment number but inflation is still pretty hot. So they may look to 279 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,919 raise a a quarter uh basis point uh if anything next meeting possibly. Passport 280 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:51,440 fees that also looks good. 24,000 collected. We're at 80% of that budget 281 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:56,720 and at 100% of other uh income brings us just under 2 million. Uh 3.9 million is 282 00:22:54,080 --> 00:23:00,480 the budget. So we're at 51% through six months. Look at the expenditure side. 283 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:05,200 Again, a lot of green here. We do have some some timing uh differences of of 284 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:09,840 escalating the uh or skewing the percentage slightly. 139,000 for 285 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:15,120 contractual services. Again, on a budget of 243, we're at 57%. Some other 286 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:20,799 expenses, really small numbers here, 4,200 spent, uh, skews it to about 65% 287 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:25,200 and then we're 1% higher on personnel based on just timing of pay rules, but 288 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:30,960 all in 1.4 million spent. Uh, we're north of 4 million for the budget, so 289 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:35,919 we're at 34% and 33 and 36% respectively uh across town and GA. So, all of that 290 00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:40,799 produces a nice surplus. Uh, again, 6 months in of about 580,000. 291 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:44,400 Uh and again, we started with about 2.9 million, bringing us to about 3.5 292 00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:47,840 million in ending fund balance. And again, you know, that strong fund 293 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:52,799 balance position is what allows us not to have to worry about delays from Cook 294 00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:56,720 County. Um it also will help us fund uh projects down the road. So again, that's 295 00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:01,840 that's kudos to the board. And we've remember we've adjusted these two. We're 296 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:06,159 bringing GA down uh increasing town. Uh both of those strategy work strategies 297 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,000 working for us. uh trying looking to avoid tax objection but also make sure 298 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:13,200 we have adequate fund balances uh to carry us uh from tax payment to tax 299 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,960 payment. >> And here I'll just note that so this is 300 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:24,159 ending August um and I did just sign the child care and before and after per as 301 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:29,520 um you would have seen in um Jean's report. So um that number will change 302 00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:33,520 and be almost the entirety um shortly. >> Yep. 303 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,080 Now in terms of distribution taxes always lead the way at 95% replacement 304 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:42,960 tax almost two interest two passport fees one other income 0.1 then on the 305 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:47,440 expenditure side agency programming at 44%. Again, you're going to see that go 306 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:52,880 up next month. Child care services at 4% projects two contractual 10 office 307 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:58,080 supplies.3 assessor 2 billing town hall 4 and a half financial assistance 10 308 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:03,279 pantry three personnel 19 elected officials two. Again revenues over 309 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,880 expenditures we talked about to the tune of about half a million. And then as you 310 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:11,120 kind of go down you can kind of see the various detail uh behind the accounts. 311 00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:14,720 And again a lot of this is skewed based on timing or when that money goes out 312 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:19,840 the door. We talked about uh the agencies having another round go out 313 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:23,840 shortly and then again our summer camps that was in at 53%. 314 00:25:22,159 --> 00:25:28,559 Um and then some of the contractual spend back to school supplies at 73. Uh 315 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:32,799 some of these other that are we've already spent the civic clerk and audio 316 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:37,919 and doc access. Uh so those have been spent at 100% for the year uh year to 317 00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:42,960 date. Um outside of that I'm going to bring us to our 318 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:48,640 investment report. again uh good numbers. Uh the rates came 319 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:52,799 down slightly. Uh Beimo now just under 2% on their uh what they consider their 320 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:56,799 savings account. So you see we've done some reallocation. We've put more money 321 00:25:55,120 --> 00:26:00,880 back into our Schwab. That's where we're seeing really the best performance as 322 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:05,520 well as Illinois funds. Um so we're still continuing to diversify. We've got 323 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:09,120 our laddered uh portfolio approach with Schwab and those rates are north of 324 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:12,720 three and a half%. So again, we've done a nice job. you see that in the 325 00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:16,559 investment number. Uh and again, no need for warrants as we wait on tax money. So 326 00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:21,840 again, we're everything's pretty much working uh in terms of of the finances 327 00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:25,279 year to date. So far, I don't have anything else for the board 328 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:30,080 tonight. Uh I'd be happy to take any additional questions, but I'll leave the 329 00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:34,880 uh the warrants up for approval. >> Any questions for James? 330 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:39,600 » Uh I have some questions. down the counter. 331 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:43,520 » Page 12 of 93 or six of nine depending on how you're looking at it. The summer 332 00:26:41,679 --> 00:26:48,559 camp scholarships and the back to school supplies. Are we fully paid out on all 333 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:53,840 of these things at this point? I would expect, but it's the numbers are just a 334 00:26:51,679 --> 00:27:00,400 lot lower than I think I would have expected. Um, and I just I didn't know 335 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:03,760 if we have anything. >> I'm sorry. Say it again. Summer camp 336 00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:08,000 scholarships. >> Summer camp is at 53. 337 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,760 » I think we didn't have that. >> We didn't have that many applicants. 338 00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:14,799 » Yeah. >> Yeah.

Okay. 342 00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:26,240 » Um so that that's just something that I guess might inform our our future 343 00:27:25,679 --> 00:27:28,320 budgeting. >> Absolutely. 344 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:34,080 » Yeah. And then the back to school supplies, you know, we were under 75% 345 00:27:31,919 --> 00:27:38,000 there just about four four or five lines down from the previous. 346 00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:40,559 » Yes, we were a few reduced from last year. 347 00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:43,360 » Um the list >> if it's not needed. 348 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:48,559 » Yeah. Yes. Some free and reduced lunch. >> But I I'm concerned that part of that is 349 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:53,600 because free reduced lunch is determined by the other programs and the other 350 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:59,440 programs were create had issues. So we do get those lists from the school and 351 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:02,559 we don't do our own um independence. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. 352 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,679 » Um >> with 299 this year. 353 00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:14,320 » Uh at the very bottom of that page uh second to last line, HR services.

Sometimes it's voided 362 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:55,600 on my end, but it's not pulling up on the um, report. I think that James fixed 363 00:28:53,200 --> 00:29:00,080 that, but I don't go in and unpublish the board pattern and publish it again 364 00:28:57,919 --> 00:29:04,480 because then it's going to notify everybody all over again. Yes. So, 365 00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:06,960 » um, that I cleared up with James the other day. So, that should be the last 366 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:13,520 one left. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, it says voided. 367 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:18,480 » Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

So, thank you for that for bringing that 387 00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:39,279 forth. >> Yes, we will make sure because that's a 388 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:43,080 contractual service.

They normally reach out to me. >> Yes, they do report. 408 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:16,559 » Um as you saw in the report, they're doing pretty well. Um all right. 409 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:22,320 Assessor's report. Assessor Churchwell. >> Yes. Thank you. Um before before I give 410 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:30,240 my report, I'd like to mention uh this concerning the Northfield Tiff. Um it 411 00:32:25,679 --> 00:32:34,720 took uh a resident at a uh trustees meeting a couple of weeks ago literally 412 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:38,880 referring to the statute to inform the trustees that they had not followed 413 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:42,399 legal procedures and said and notifying all the interested parties 414 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,559 » before setting up the tip. >> Wow. 415 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:50,640 » So the they uh last week the president of the uh trustees sent out and you 416 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,440 probably that's one of the reasons I'm mentioning it because you probably 417 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:59,279 didn't get this. She just sent an email I think saying that they are delaying 418 00:32:56,799 --> 00:33:06,159 going for delaying delaying the final vote on it to get to give more time for 419 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:12,559 people to come together if you and I sort of this is my own 420 00:33:09,679 --> 00:33:15,519 personal opinion on the subject is that if they couldn't even get it off the 421 00:33:13,919 --> 00:33:19,600 ground right I'm not entirely convinced they are the right people to carry such 422 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:23,519 a project ahead but uh I thought if you would like to 423 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:27,039 have that email just for your record, Gail. I'd be happy to dig it up and send 424 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:33,200 it to you. Okay, >> I will do that. So then my report um my 425 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:38,399 report was mostly uh around one point which is that we closed for appeals last 426 00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:44,240 September 1st and um it was it was actually it was it was a very busy 427 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:50,320 month. uh the I think the part the fact that the uh 2025 tax bills well they 428 00:33:48,399 --> 00:33:55,279 came out at the same time in the thing you know when we had when we've been 429 00:33:51,440 --> 00:34:00,880 open about 10 days and we started getting calls from people who we always 430 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:08,480 get them I had one actually this was an email the day after um we closed 431 00:34:05,919 --> 00:34:13,440 » saying I just got my tax bill in the mail and we just closed for appeals. how 432 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:17,520 is this fair? Can you explain that? And I said, "Yes, actually I can." Yeah. 433 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:22,079 » Your tax bill was for 2025 and your repeal was for 2026. You'll see that 434 00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:24,639 result 2027. And I I wanted to say, "Got any more questions for you to hit me 435 00:34:23,839 --> 00:34:30,079 with, >> but I didn't." But we did we did get a 436 00:34:27,919 --> 00:34:32,960 lot of people who were totally confused. I thought we were just open for appeals. 437 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:40,240 And I'm just looking at this horrible horrible tax bill now. So we had a a a 438 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:45,919 flurry of of con what's the word I want not conilbration the one the conflation 439 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:50,480 of conflation with people conflating the two issues pretty seriously and it just 440 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:54,320 it it makes it just makes everything a little busier and crazier for a while 441 00:34:52,879 --> 00:34:57,920 » but it's great that you're here to help our residents resolve those things what 442 00:34:56,879 --> 00:35:01,680 a bonus >> I keep feeling there can't be anybody 443 00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:08,240 who doesn't know the answer there are hundreds of some 444 00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:12,880 who who just do not have it at all. Uh but all in all and I was I actually I 445 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:17,520 was surprised at the number of people who were uh 446 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:21,520 not not who appealed the the number of appeals was actually the same pretty 447 00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:27,599 much but for a second year but the number of people who were still confused 448 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:32,960 about what they were doing surprised me. And one of the reasons I think there 449 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:37,040 were um a number of appeals um was because people were worried about the 450 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:44,320 tax bills which they did not have yet when when we did open the uh board of 451 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:48,000 review event on August 17th produced we had about 60 people I think this is 452 00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:51,680 according to the board statistics overall 453 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:56,160 um and that is really about what I would expect uh for their outreach event 454 00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:00,960 during a trienal year. The second year is usually about half that somewhere in 455 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:05,359 there. So again, the the concern about the the amount of the tax bills, what 456 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:11,680 the tax bills might come to and how they how they would affect the need to appeal 457 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:16,880 going forward was very high this year. And uh the Q&A that Mike and I held the 458 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,400 following week on the 26th, we had over 20 people. And last year during the 459 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:24,800 reassessment year, which was the first time we've done a Q&A as opposed to an 460 00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:30,000 outreach event of our own. Um, but we had I think we had we had maybe a dozen 461 00:36:27,839 --> 00:36:36,400 or so, which was fine, maybe 15, but this time you had between 20 and 25. So, 462 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:41,359 and I I I like having I like the word to get out about that because I it's just 463 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:47,280 people come in and they ask their questions their way and that way I can 464 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:51,200 answer their way rather than giving them canned presentation about what happens 465 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:58,079 when and so forth which they may or may not take in in any meaningful fashion. 466 00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:03,520 And that is the end of my report. >> Thank you. I might add, I want to 467 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:07,200 commend uh Jan and her team's efforts. I heard from other residents that went 468 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:11,839 through the you know the appeal process and you guys couldn't be more uh patient 469 00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:15,680 and people are very grateful for your help and assistance and they knew you 470 00:37:14,079 --> 00:37:20,880 were slam but you always you came through for a lot of people. So you be 471 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:26,880 your team but to be commended for that. >> It's it's an intense 30 days 472 00:37:23,839 --> 00:37:30,480 » but it's only one 30 days. is not >> not 12 30-day periods or something like 473 00:37:29,359 --> 00:37:35,839 that. But thank you. >> And trusty Tucker was able to attend as 474 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:39,440 my as well. Um leader Gable was there as well as 475 00:37:37,839 --> 00:37:44,960 obviously our board of review commissioner um and our Cook County 476 00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:51,599 Commissioner Scott Britain. Um so well attended. So thank you. Public comment. 477 00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:57,040 » So we have Rash coming up this week.

Um and we will continue 480 00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:14,560 to make sure that we we're being seen and you know there's people um the guys 481 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:21,920 that are going into the locations and actually talking to people making sure 482 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:25,599 that they're seen um you know and um answering any questions and just we 483 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:30,240 we're working very closely with all of our other um law enforcement partners to 484 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:36,160 make sure that somebody's filtering through there as the days uh those 485 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:41,119 activities because many of the um locations will have a very very high 486 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:45,359 number of of people coming. So, please don't be alarmed if you see us. Um if 487 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:50,320 anybody is traveling over by in Northbrook off of Techne and Sanders, 488 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:56,880 there is construction there and you can't turn left off of I believe it's 489 00:38:53,839 --> 00:39:01,119 Sanders. Um I've had people that are turning 490 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:04,480 illegally doing U-turns. Um, yes, the left turn lane is blocked and all the 491 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:09,040 westbound drivers need to make a right, which they don't want to do. So, um, if 492 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,839 you're going over there, please don't make a wrong turn because we're going to 493 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:18,320 help you make sure you don't do that again because it's going to cause an 494 00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:24,720 accident. And, um, though, especially, um, as the fall starts starts coming in, 495 00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:28,000 we're going to start moving from direct enforcement into speed enforcement to 496 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:33,200 slow the cars down because I'm waiting for the first snowfall. Absolutely. 497 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:38,640 » I do.

Distracted driving is 499 00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:45,760 a bit of a problem. So, those are those are the things that 500 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:51,839 we've been working on.

Um, 504 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:15,599 they these folks are um the one gaming I have one at 602 505 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:19,119 um Greenwood over in Northfield Township. There were 10 people that got 506 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:24,640 out of that car. They robbed that place in less than 90 seconds. 507 00:40:21,839 --> 00:40:29,280 So, yeah, we are not chasing them. Um, they did they hit another gaming 508 00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:32,320 location this morning at after 7 a.m. >> And I'm sorry, what is 509 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,680 » the gaming locations? The the slot machines. 510 00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:37,200 » Slot machines. Got it. >> Yeah, the video poker. 511 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:43,599 » The video poker and stuff like that. >> So, um, we are diligently monitoring and 512 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:47,599 trying to keep our cars moving. So, please don't be surprised if you see our 513 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:54,000 cars in the area and, you know, they're they're constantly moving because I'm 514 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:57,040 I'm trying to do everything I can to um make it so that the clerks get hurt or 515 00:40:56,240 --> 00:41:01,520 any of that. >> So, those are kind of things that I'm 516 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:07,119 trying to stay on top of. Um I haven't had um we are expecting similar rain. 517 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:10,480 So, I know I gave you the number for >> um the highway department in the event 518 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:15,359 that the trees come down and we start having some water. So that's about all I 519 00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:20,880 have going on. >> We had a lot of constituent questions 520 00:41:17,839 --> 00:41:24,319 related to flat cameras. So >> um do does Cook County use the sheriff's 521 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,119 department use them in the non-incorporated areas? 522 00:41:25,599 --> 00:41:30,560 » Yes. And they are not streaming cameras. The 523 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:34,720 only thing we use them for like this morning when we had a gaming burglary, 524 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:40,960 we used those cameras to try and track that car and they um it appeared that it 525 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:46,720 was located right. So, you know, we are we are very very careful. We use uh case 526 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:52,960 report numbers when we go in there. You know, we're not, you know, we use those 527 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:56,319 for, you know, I have a missing adult. She got in a car. Where was the car? You 528 00:41:54,880 --> 00:42:02,240 know, this is the plate. These are the places that it went. Um, we had a case 529 00:41:59,839 --> 00:42:06,400 last year, um, about this time of the year and it was an older person who got 530 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,319 in their car and they got lost. >> Yeah. 531 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:12,480 » And they were all the way, they were from up here. They were all the way out 532 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:15,760 in Romeoville. >> Yes. At Lewis University. Yeah. The car 533 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,040 kept hitting the camera. Finally, we called the somebody called the college 534 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,680 and the guy found the guy sitting in the lot. 535 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,319 » So, he was and he's like, I I can't figure how to get back on the 536 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:29,680 expressway. I can't no idea he was even in Romeo in about that far. Wow. in 537 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:35,680 Romeoville where that is. So those cameras help us try and find people to 538 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:39,200 get lost, you know, solve crimes. We're not using those to surveil people. They 539 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:44,079 are not streaming cameras. They are not surveilling people. 540 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:47,440 » Um I've heard of this Dlock movement. Um we had a young man who decided that he 541 00:42:45,839 --> 00:42:52,160 would follow the DLOC movement and decided to ride his bike and use a 542 00:42:49,119 --> 00:42:57,040 sawzaw to cut down the cameras. He cut out a bunch of them in Park Ridge and in 543 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:59,359 Niles in a couple of hours. Um he now understands he probably should do that. 544 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,560 He understands. >> Yeah. Oh, it's very 545 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:06,240 » Speaking of law enforcement, just a reminder to the board and the general 546 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:10,240 public that Vaneka has announced that they are doing more enforcement of 547 00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:16,640 parking in front of our of our building. Uh one of our pantry clients found that 548 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:20,640 one out the hard way. The the lined spot next to a handicap spot is still 549 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,480 illegal. >> Yes, it is. 550 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,720 » Very much so. >> For them to get out. 551 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:29,440 » She called it the hazard spot. I was like, "No, no, 552 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:32,319 um, but yes." So, please, and we're glad that they are enforcing obviously 553 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:37,119 because we've had a lot of client concerns about lack of parking and we're 554 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:41,520 very excited to finally get the parking back across the street as well as 555 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:46,640 underneath. Um, so the overall thing that we're doing as a sher as an office 556 00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:50,079 is we are um doing an initiative to keep people from driving in the shoulder 557 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:54,640 » because people don't they believe that that is an extra lane of traffic. Um, 558 00:43:52,319 --> 00:43:59,440 that is not true. Please don't drive on the shoulder. There's multiple reasons. 559 00:43:56,079 --> 00:44:02,800 First of all, um people, if there's emergency traffic, you can't get out 560 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:06,240 that way. The biggest thing is when you start driving on the shoulder, that's 561 00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:09,280 where all the junk goes. >> Um you're not going to get one flat 562 00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:13,440 tire, you're probably going to get two or three from the metal that comes off 563 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:17,200 of things and all these things and all the debris that ends up over there. I 564 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:23,200 understand that people are running late. Please call and say, "I'm going to be 565 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:27,760 late." Um if we see you if we will stop you. Um I they have had truck and 566 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:33,119 traffic has been up here to stop people from driving on the expressways and on 567 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:35,520 those um the shoulder. It is dangerous. You will cause an accident. People get 568 00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:41,280 startled. >> Yeah. 569 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:44,560 » Um they it is it is a problem. >> Absolutely. Yes. Do 570 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,800 » you have any involvement in that? You buy 571 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,599 » I need I 572 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:54,560 » So here's the issue with you. Okay. They are not for the road. Okay. Let us all, 573 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:58,720 you know, we had an incident down in Main Township. Somebody flagged down one 574 00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:01,520 of my officers was a lieutenant and said, "This guy's laying on the side of 575 00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:06,640 the road." He was riding that thing in the middle of Milwaukee Avenue. 576 00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:10,640 » Okay. He did not get hit by a car. I'm suspecting he was a valid driver. I'm 577 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:16,960 suspecting that he bought that either or this that that scooter 578 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:22,880 » to offset the cost of gas and no helmet, no nothing. It looked like he probably 579 00:45:19,359 --> 00:45:26,319 weeble out and ate the curb and never woke up. We went to the hospital for 580 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,040 four days in a row to try and see if we could talk to him. They said he's stable 581 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:33,839 and everything else. They shipped him to a a rehab facility and unfortunately he 582 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:39,839 passed away. Those I understand the the allure of them, but 583 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:42,720 I look at them as the minibikes of the 1970s. 584 00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:46,319 » Okay. >> They're much more dangerous actually. 585 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:53,440 » Yeah, they actually are because they go so fast. You can't hear them. They go 586 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:58,720 very, very fast. And you don't realize I mean, would you drive your car at 30 587 00:45:55,359 --> 00:46:03,119 miles an hour with the door open? No. But you're going to get on this scooter 588 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,240 and fly away. And I've seen people I've seen the kids riding on a couple of 589 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:10,560 them. A lot of the towns are are outlawing them. There are provisions. 590 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:15,200 Um, you know, they can't be I think they're now originally was going to be 591 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:19,359 14. They're 15. You know, exactly. If we stop somebody, what are they going to 592 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:21,920 say? I'm 15. You know, do we write the parent? That would make you really happy 593 00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:26,800 if I came over to your house and wrote you a ticket for something you told your 594 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:30,640 kid not to do. Kids, right? So they they they're problematic. 595 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:35,359 um because they do go so fast you can't hear them. 596 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:39,440 » Um we're waiting for the the the law to kind of catch up. A lot of towns have 597 00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:43,520 out lot them and done ordinances. We're still waiting for Cook County as we all 598 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:48,000 know sometimes the tax bill. We're waiting for them to catch up on it as 599 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:51,119 well, you know. But again, if you're going to if they're going to say you got 600 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,920 to have insurance and everything else, you know, these people these parents 601 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,960 have already bought these things. >> Oh yeah. Well, 602 00:46:55,200 --> 00:47:01,599 » the drop offs at the schools are terrible. It's taken me another 10 to 15 603 00:46:59,119 --> 00:47:05,040 minutes just to pick my kid up because of the kids 604 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:09,359 » weaving in and out. >> A lot of the schools are now they're 605 00:47:07,359 --> 00:47:12,000 telling you you can't bring them. >> Then that leads us to the other thing. I 606 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:16,319 went to the school board meeting and there's going to be a new law that's 607 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:18,480 coming in July about um electronic devices. 608 00:47:17,359 --> 00:47:21,760 » Yes. >> That they're not going to be allowed in 609 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:26,319 the schools. They're working on plans. >> Most of the township authorities got rid 610 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:29,119 of them. Um but yes, that now it's going to be a statewide 611 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:32,000 » um uh addition. >> Well, the Apple watches are the big 612 00:47:30,319 --> 00:47:37,680 problem because they're using them to uh >> right. No, they're using 613 00:47:35,839 --> 00:47:41,359 » where's the answer, >> right? 614 00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:44,839 » Any additional public comment? >> Why are you laughing 615 00:47:46,079 --> 00:47:51,839 that they're using those things? >> No interrogation at the township. My my 616 00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:55,280 favorite the thing that one kid said, the one teacher said, "So then high 617 00:47:53,839 --> 00:47:57,680 school you can't you got to turn in your phone, right?" 618 00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:04,000 » So now they've just gotten two. >> I'm going to have this one. This one's 619 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:08,079 » That is That is a classic step ahead. >> Yep. 620 00:48:05,599 --> 00:48:11,599 » Um >> Excuse me. Supervisor Eisenberg, can I 621 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:16,160 just um >> mention this Friday is September 11th. I 622 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:20,640 believe it's Friday. >> Um 623 00:48:17,359 --> 00:48:24,960 » isn't it? Yeah. So um on the 10th in the afternoon is a flag planting on the WKA 624 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:30,960 Village Green where they plant flags in honor of the victims of 911 and then it 625 00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:35,839 remains until sundown on September 11th. So welcome to any and all to help plant 626 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:40,960 a flag or just come by and observe on the 11th. So it's a really wonderful um 627 00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:46,079 memorial. >> Absolutely. Appreciate all of our first 628 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:50,400 responders. Um legislative update this they're not in session. Sorry. Um, 629 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:53,440 that's the update. Acknowledgement of staff reports. We've received staff 630 00:48:51,839 --> 00:48:56,400 reports. Is there anything anyone would like to take from a staff report 631 00:48:55,200 --> 00:49:01,440 discussion? >> I would like to commend Lisha for trying 632 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:06,319 to get new windows for the building. >> How's that going? 633 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:11,200 » Um, it's it's tricky. Grants are tricky. Um, but we did have the energy audit 634 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:16,319 person come out. He came and looked at the building last week. So, I'm working 635 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:20,400 with our sustainability coordinator to see if we can even pull it off because 636 00:49:18,319 --> 00:49:25,280 there's a lot of steps. Some things we don't qualify for because we're bigger 637 00:49:23,359 --> 00:49:30,079 than a house, but we're smaller than a big commercial building. So, some of it 638 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:33,520 is according to square footage. Some of it the the grants really get in the 639 00:49:32,319 --> 00:49:38,640 weeds. >> So, um it's also about timing obviously 640 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:44,079 because we live where it gets very cold outside. So, the grant is due on the 641 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:46,319 30th. So, I'll talk to Lucy again so that we can kind of move through the 642 00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:48,480 process, >> right? 643 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:52,720 » Well, we're in the gather portal for grants and stuff now, so it should make 644 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:59,160 the process a little bit easier to apply. 645 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,160 » So, um 646 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:07,119 Okay, good. >> Um anything else? I will note from 647 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:10,960 report you can see the numbers for child care.

Um we're continuing to see 650 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:26,160 increased use of emergency assistance as well. Um as well as food pantry. For 651 00:50:24,079 --> 00:50:31,200 those who do know anyone who have has special needs um and is living at home 652 00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:34,000 in the in Nutria Township, um please remind them that the deadline is 653 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:38,400 September 1st for the special needs support program.

Um, so make sure that people know. Um, so share 656 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:52,160 the information that Heather's putting out there. Um, we created an FAQ. Um, 657 00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:57,920 try to make it as clean as possible on the electronic form, but we know there 658 00:50:54,319 --> 00:51:02,400 will be hiccups. So, um, but we need we need to be able to get those out earlier 659 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:08,319 so that we don't have the issue um of checks not being cashed before the end 660 00:51:04,079 --> 00:51:13,520 of the year.

Um, please also be aware that we do have our partnership with the 675 00:52:09,599 --> 00:52:17,760 sheriff's department coming up at the end of the month for the recycling um, 676 00:52:14,319 --> 00:52:23,520 program drug takeback. Always popular a good arm workout. So, we hope to see 677 00:52:20,559 --> 00:52:28,000 many people there um to help lift things when the sheriff's department let me 678 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:32,640 lift like no. 679 00:52:30,559 --> 00:52:37,040 Um we do >> it's going is I believe it's also 680 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:40,720 » Indian parking lot at Indian Hill train station 681 00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:46,000 » and they have started putting out the list of items for make a difference day 682 00:52:43,119 --> 00:52:51,440 as well also at Indian Hill so a lot of donation opportunities coming up. All 683 00:52:48,319 --> 00:52:58,240 right any additional comments from the staff reports? 684 00:52:54,240 --> 00:53:02,559 Okay, any new business? Seeing none, continuing business. We 685 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:09,760 have received the committee bylaws from Steve. Um I had wanted I didn't want him 686 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:15,440 to do this first one. Um I wanted him to just do the the ones per committee. So 687 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:21,920 I'm not sure it's still there. Um so I am looking for a motion to approve each 688 00:53:18,319 --> 00:53:24,400 committee's individual bylaws. >> So 689 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,880 » is there a second? >> Second. 690 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:32,640 » Discussion. Yeah. >> Um okay. Okay. So, page 76, it's the 691 00:53:30,079 --> 00:53:38,319 first page of the life stages funding and oversight committee. There's a 692 00:53:34,559 --> 00:53:41,200 council review note. Um, noting that we need to check. 693 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:45,599 » Yes, that was supposed to be deleted. >> Okay. Have I number one, I assume that 694 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:49,200 that's for all of the committees considering that we have mentioned youth 695 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:52,960 in all of the committees, >> right? 696 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:57,599 » And yes, and we would need an update on this, I'm assuming. 697 00:53:55,520 --> 00:54:03,119 » Um, yes. This is four. >> It's frustrating. Um I told him to 698 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:08,880 delete. I mean, and he still has my red line in here, my blue line for the 699 00:54:05,359 --> 00:54:13,440 different um for the different additions here. 700 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:18,800 So, it should have been in final form. Um okay. But assuming that we're 701 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:28,480 deleting the council review note, which I believe was AI um and accepting my 702 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:32,880 additional um authority that I added in. Um so it looks like he did accept them 703 00:54:30,319 --> 00:54:37,280 on the other two. Oh no, only on disability. But you can 704 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:44,160 now you can see >> right the statutory references. Um, so 705 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:48,240 gently I feel like this is going to need like one more 706 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:53,599 » confirmatory look and just to make sure that they're each exactly right and 707 00:54:51,119 --> 00:54:58,240 exactly the same the way that we want them and in final form. 708 00:54:55,599 --> 00:55:00,160 » Absolutely. >> I think we're real close though. 709 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:03,680 » Yes. >> I have a series of comments on them. 710 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:09,359 » What? Yes, please. >> Okay. Um, first of all, I uh 711 00:55:07,599 --> 00:55:18,079 was very happy with the way you guys handled the youth provision. I'm glad to 712 00:55:12,240 --> 00:55:25,359 see that. Um, with regards to the term, um, you said that it's uh two two full 713 00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:29,040 two consecutive full terms. Um, I think that should be per committee 714 00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:32,319 » because you think it needs to be clarified by that. 715 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:39,200 » Yeah, I do. That's one. And then I was curious, I don't remember there being a 716 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:43,359 12-year limitation on individuals acting. Is that a new Is that new? 717 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:47,520 » I don't believe that was new. >> I don't remember it. But as I thought 718 00:55:45,359 --> 00:55:53,119 about it, I'm I'm just wondering out loud if it really makes sense to limit 719 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:58,240 the amount of time the volunteers can serve the township. Um, that's where I 720 00:55:56,720 --> 00:56:02,880 was coming from. So that that was my query on that. 721 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:08,160 » Okay. people serve what we've had people serve. No, we have that. That's why 722 00:56:05,359 --> 00:56:10,160 » so you could do two terms per right per item. 723 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:13,040 » I think that makes more sense. Yes. >> So that was that was my take on that. 724 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:18,640 » Thank you. >> Um and then the concept now I'm moving 725 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:20,720 over to officers. Um the concept of a vice chair that's a new thing as well, 726 00:56:20,319 --> 00:56:23,599 right? >> I believe so. Yes. 727 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:27,520 » Because I'd never seen that before. I think it's a good idea, but that's a new 728 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:33,280 » Yep. just to have a backup >> and um on the trusty leaison um I was 729 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:38,079 glad that you clarified it because I've never been really sure voting powers or 730 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:44,400 don't have voting powers completely. >> Um and then my question is um it says 731 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:48,240 that unless separately appointed as an adult committee member how and when 732 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:51,520 would that ever occur? >> I don't think it would. 733 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:57,520 » I don't either. But that's why I just I called it out because I saw it. Um, and 734 00:56:54,559 --> 00:56:59,760 I think those are my comments. Do 735 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:04,640 » you want to still allow for that to be an eventuality or simply delete it and 736 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:08,000 say leison on it doesn't get to? >> It's okay. I just I just didn't know 737 00:57:06,319 --> 00:57:14,880 when that would ever come into play, >> right? Yeah. It was um I I drafted it 738 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:23,200 and my my thought and reasoning behind it was like the Winna Caucus Council. 739 00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:25,280 » Some in some iterations people are banging down the doors to get in. 740 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:29,680 » Okay. >> And in other years you are just trying 741 00:57:27,839 --> 00:57:36,079 to get the bare minimum number of people. And so I conceived of a moment 742 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:42,240 in time in which I am serving on the committee as a committee member that you 743 00:57:39,359 --> 00:57:45,680 are the liaison for and vice versa. And so I was trying to figure out I'm coming 744 00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:50,319 up with >> like the way that somebody could still 745 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:52,640 potentially vote. So that's >> thank you 746 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:56,079 » my issue from law school. >> Then I would keep that then as a potent 747 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,960 just a failing. >> Yeah. 748 00:57:57,119 --> 00:58:03,040 » So I'm sure people will continue to knock down the door. 749 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:07,839 » Yeah. All right. Um, so motion um I I move to table um the final bylaws 750 00:58:06,079 --> 00:58:09,680 reviews till the next meeting. Is there a second? 751 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,920 » Second. >> All those in favor, please say I. 752 00:58:11,359 --> 00:58:16,839 » I. >> Any oppose? Seeing none. Thank you. 753 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:23,440 Uh we are now in line for a motion to adjurnn. Is there a motion? 754 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:29,280 » Second. >> And all those in favor please say I. 755 00:58:26,319 --> 00:58:34,640 » Any opposed? Say none at see you October 13th. 756 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,640 » Good night everyone.
