[0:38] » I don't think the um

[0:53] » No problem. I'm here. I was just

[0:59] Let me double check.
[1:10] Yeah.
[1:36] » She can't see us.
[1:40] Yeah, I don't see you at all. The
camera's off. Yeah. And so the the
[1:45] option for the owl video is not showing
up.
[2:11] that keeps on.
>> Oh, wait a minute. It's on.
[2:26] » We will call this meeting to order

[2:52] » Madam super brother, we have a quorum

[2:56] barbing trustee Jessica Tucker who is
participating and voting in this
[3:01] meeting. Correct.
Can I do that, Jeremy? Yes.
[3:06] » Yeah. Whatever the rules allow. I'm
always confused on whether or not I vote
[3:10] or just can participate with comments.
So, whatever it's up to supervisor.
[3:15] » So, trustee Jessica Tucker
>> here present.
[3:20] » Madam supervisor, we have
>> Yes. And she does qualify.
[3:23] » Fantastic.
>> Yeah.
[3:25] » All right. We will now stand for the
pledge of
[3:27] » allegiance.
Ice
[3:31] to the flag of the United States of
America and to the republic for which it
[3:36] stands, one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice
[3:41] for all. Thank you all. Supervisor's
report. Um it has been a busy last
[3:48] month. Um we celebrated some of our
agencies including the Northshore Senior
[3:54] Center had its 70th anniversary party
which was a lovely shindig um a saka um
[4:00] which was well attended um that was a
wonderful activity and it's really nice
[4:05] to see how well you know the whole place
has um been renovated since their uh
[4:10] roof issues. Um so it all looks great
and they're very active. We also had
[4:16] joint review board meetings across the
township. There are two tip districts as
[4:20] we discussed at our last meeting. Um
well, one is proposed and one exists.
[4:24] One is Kennallorth which has been in
existence for for some time. Um we were
[4:29] reviewing the current state of the of
the TIF. Um they there has they have
[4:35] come to the point now where they have um
engaged engineers and have engineering
[4:39] plans. So we were able to see those
plans online. They're on their website.
[4:43] So, that's exciting that they're turning
that corner into implementation um
[4:47] because it has been a long time coming.
Um the JRB
[4:52] meeting or the proposed tip district in
Northfield was extremely well attended.
[4:57] Per this board's instructions, we took
no position. Um the first vote was on
[5:04] whether to approve the Northfield
Township, the Northfield villages um
[5:09] tiff um as recommended that um we voted
we abstained from. Um that was the
[5:15] motion that I brought before this board
and had instructions for. Then someone
[5:20] made a motion to oppose the Edward
Northfield um tip district where I did
[5:25] not have instructions and where an where
an abension would have been an
[5:29] affirmative vote. So I exited.
Um the JRB did vote against the TIFF
[5:38] district. If you recall from, you know,
undergrad or law school, um the North
[5:45] Northfield may still establish a TIFF.
Um but it does have a higher vote
[5:49] threshold now. Um so but there were a
lot of um very active and concerned
[5:56] citizens who spoke on both sides of the
issue but mostly against the tiff at
[6:00] that meeting um and it was very
interesting to hear people's perspective
[6:05] especially from um current businesses on
how it would affect I did raise um the
[6:11] concern I generally raise at JB meetings
which is if you're going to have for
[6:15] housing as a part of this um endeavor
which is one of the things that they
[6:20] were looking for under their TE program
that it' be affordable housing um which
[6:24] was not clear from the current um
proposal. Um all right, so that was GRB.
[6:30] We also had um I I'll let Jan um our
assessor talk about the about the board
[6:35] review meeting. Um we I was um honored
to be invited to the Pakistan American
[6:43] Chamber of Commerce Gala uh in Skoi um
with um Mayor Bis and um clerk of Evston
[6:51] um Stephanie Mendoza. Um and it was it
was quite an interesting program about
[6:56] uh health care. It was mostly about um
healthc care employment and ways for to
[7:01] increase bilateral trade between
Pakistan and the northern suburbs. So it
[7:05] was very interesting. Um the uh we had
also celebrated Northfield villages
[7:12] centennial. So that was wonderful. That
was an amazing event. Really well done.
[7:18] Um so the village worked with the park
district and the chamber of commerce on
[7:23] quite ended on with music, food. Um
there was a a inflatable hockey court.
[7:30] Very very impressive. Um the uh we also
had a multi-chamber network event here
[7:37] in the township that was not just well
meta worthwhile venue but also I think
[7:43] we had um Skoi we had Evston we had it
was really well attended and that was at
[7:49] um Plunkett. Um so um not many
networking events that I've been to that
[7:53] have had have featured a tequila tasting
um but it was nice to chat with people
[7:58] and really and talk what the township
does and how they can support us. Um, we
[8:02] had black party in in WAT as well. Thank
you to those who were able to volunteer
[8:06] at that table. Um, I know I had a lot of
very interesting conversations with CL
[8:10] with um with residents um and able to
answer their questions about what
[8:14] Township does and point them in the
right directions. Um,
[8:19] JUFF, the Jewish United Fund had hosted
a lovely event uh with uh elected
[8:24] officials across the northern suburbs.
Um, so township, village, park
[8:30] districts, school boards, um, really
everyone. Um, and it was really great to
[8:36] hear from people and ways that we can
collaborate. Um, today we had a Cook
[8:40] County Council of Governments briefing
to discuss the recent um, weather
[8:45] related emergencies, but also about the
timing um, of the property tax revenue.
[8:51] Thankfully, we're not in a position to
have to do the loans um and get the
[8:54] bridge loan, but that was part of what
the meeting was about as well um in
[8:58] discussions um about obtaining road
district funds, which again we don't
[9:02] have to worry about. So, we're nice and
um I'm grateful that we get to be
[9:06] focused on just serving the people
rather than um having to deal with some
[9:10] of those issues. But, I'm glad that the
county was offering those loans to those
[9:13] who did need it. And they did say that
the mass majority were school districts
[9:17] who needed those loans to make payroll.
Um they also noted that um the economic
[9:25] impact of last year's um ICE activities
was in the billions. So as far as both
[9:32] government resources and tax dollars
that were missing because people would
[9:36] weren't going out to work or to shop.
Um, so there's no current indication
[9:41] that we'll see another increase in ACE
activity ahead of the elections, but I
[9:46] know that a number of election
protection groups are keeping an eye
[9:50] out. Um,
uh, and finally, my Girl Scout troop
[9:54] painted the uh, pantry donation bin out
in the alley, so go take a look so that
[9:59] it doesn't look like a trash can and
that people won't put trash in it. Um,
[10:04] so thank you to the Wat Public Library
for helping to create the decal. Um, so
[10:09] take a look at that. Um, there was
script instructions from Heather to make
[10:13] sure we use blue, green, and white for
our c our, um, colors and our branding,
[10:18] though I hopefully she appreciates it.
Uh, any questions for me on supervisor's
[10:22] report?
>> Did the senior center acknowledge the
[10:26] fact that they started part of the town?
Um they did mention that they were part
[10:30] of that they were originally founded in
at the Waka Community Center. So that
[10:35] was many it was true at the town. I
think everyone should know that Jan and
[10:39] I were meeting.
>> Wonderful.
[10:41] » Yeah.
>> Yes.
[10:43] » Question at the uh
>> the event that you uh hosted at the
[10:47] table there. What kind of questions did
you get as far as township related?
[10:51] » Yes. Um I one guy who asked me about um
the what's it called? Powers of
[10:55] attorney. A lot of people were
interested in passports.
[10:58] » Um, let's see. I had a a couple people
ask about handicap placards. Um, but
[11:04] mostly, you know, there were kids. We
were handing out the monarch butterfly
[11:08] seeds obviously. And then I used that to
say, "Oh, and come on by. We're the food
[11:12] pantry." So then they would, you know,
we would talk about what kind of foods
[11:15] people wanted, right?
>> Um, so if you need it or you want to
[11:20] drop off, right, that's there. So I do
tend to start with that because I think
[11:24] it's the most um
>> uh tangible for for children is the
[11:29] food.
>> So the notary services we got you got
[11:33] some services
>> because we had some pl some you know
[11:36] kind of table displays up like oh and
they realized what kind of things can
[11:40] you know
>> exactly
[11:42] » that's nice. Well awesome. That was
great. I love all the outreach you're
[11:45] doing. It's amazing. I don't know where
you have the time but
[11:48] » well thanks to everybody who helped.
This was a busy month and I'm sure um
[11:52] we'll have more
approval of the minutes. August 11, 2026
[11:56] board of count of trustees meeting
minutes are in your board packet. Um is
[12:00] there a motion to approve?
>> So
[12:03] » is there a second?
>> Second.
[12:05] » Is there any discussion?
>> Yep.
[12:07] » All right.
>> I had a question.
[12:09] » Well, first let's go.
>> Sorry with Kate. Um something is going
[12:12] on with some spacing after sections
five six seven
[12:19] uh and
um at the end of 11 A
[12:27] » just before 12A
and at the end of 13.
[12:32] » We can figure that out and
>> thank you for finding that. It's really
[12:36] challenging. It's you're I'm trying to
poke around all the things. So, I will
[12:40] make due efforts to fix those things.
Cool. But I'm in the midst of a car
[12:45] emergency. No problem. Both of them have
to come out immediately. I can't see.
[12:48] I'm fighting.
>> I look great.
[12:51] » Um
>> I can't cry. I can't even try. But thank
[12:53] you for that.
>> And then at the end of um 11A, I think
[13:00] that you meant to move the the the
motion.
[13:05] » Yes.
>> Should probably be your B.
[13:08] But then other than that,
>> I y
[13:14] » um I was just curious, your verification
of claim section is kind of a hybrid
[13:19] between the last two and my only
question is is that sufficient to comply
[13:26] with what we need to be doing for
purposes of what the accountant pulled
[13:30] up and etc. So is that enough detail?
always more than what we had before and
[13:36] it's a little less than we had. Yeah,
exactly. That's I I guess I was looking
[13:40] for whatever you guys think would be
that.
[13:42] » Well, Steve put that together because
Jerome can't see. So, Steve might not
[13:46] have known the extent of what is needed.
He just was trying to categorize
[13:51] everything because Jerome said that.
>> My question is enough and I don't know.
[13:58] » So, what do you think? I mean, well, you
it's up to you because it if that would
[14:02] be more but not as much.
>> I was thinking maybe reference back to
[14:07] the actual
>> Yeah, I would.
[14:11] » Yeah. So, you can include this. This is
a nice kind of um road map, but just say
[14:16] see attached to make sure it's attached.
>> Was decided in the
[14:20] » fin
[14:24] should we add those extra things that
you're looking for too?
[14:27] Yeah, I mean I would just say if you're
working with the auditors now for this
[14:31] year's report, check in with them and
because they were the ones that
[14:35] suggested that we needed to put more
details into our minutes as to our
[14:39] monthly expenditures and make that very
transparent. So I think rather than
[14:45] guessing what we should be including,
maybe check with them and see if this is
[14:48] sufficient. If not, let's add more
information.
[14:51] » Good idea.
>> Good point.
[14:52] » Thank you.
Um, and I I have one more thing on the
[14:57] minutes if um
>> Yes, please.
[15:00] » Okay, thank you. Well, I think you know,
so August 11th was kind of the sunset of
[15:04] the peer jury program, and I did have to
make a brief report on it that, you
[15:09] know, it did um there were no partners
that came forward since uh Brian Leins,
[15:14] who had founded the program years ago,
um had suspended it last year, last
[15:19] fall. So I don't know if we want to have
a note on that in the minutes.
[15:24] » Did I say did I skip that entire items
really?
[15:27] » Yeah, it's not it's not in there at all.
>> You know that's okay. I just think that
[15:33] was very important. I will add I get it
October 1st if not earlier and I
[15:38] » Heather's telling me L is telling me I'm
just it's impossible for me to do typing
[15:43] now. It's just
>> No, that's fine. I I think we should
[15:48] just have that clarified in the in the
minutes. The date that it was sun it was
[15:53] going to sunset.
>> Sorry, I dropped it out of there.
[15:59] » Two minor things. Number five, a couple
minutes. Just my last name spelling and
[16:03] then uh number seven, verification of
claim. Just uh that I seconded a motion.
[16:08] » Okay. Oh, shoot. Under the verification.
>> Yeah.
[16:13] » Okay. Oh. Okay. Peter
motion spelling the last item five.
[16:20] » In which in which item?
>> Item five. Spell it.
[16:23] » Okay. Five. Okay.
>> Yeah. Minor
[16:25] » important.
>> Any additional discussion?
[16:30] Seeing none. Is there a motion? I'm
sorry. Let um
[16:35] all those in favor of approving the
August 11, 2026 meeting minutes as
[16:40] amended, please say I. I.
>> Any opposed? seeing them. Okay.
[16:48] Clerk's reports.
>> Okay. Uh good evening board. I have a
[16:52] few things to say and I prepared them.
First of all, um I had a very
[16:56] interesting day here today. It was very
bustling around the township and I I
[17:01] know you've all come in at various times
and get this time. It's just fascinating
[17:04] to see how many people come including
somebody who need a Chinese translation
[17:08] for the food bank. So, I'm just
impressed with how much is going on and
[17:12] see the staff in action. I also was
impressed always with Jan and Mike. Um,
[17:17] in fact, I had a visitor today due to
Jan and Mike's office. As he was waiting
[17:22] for his appointment, um, he engaged me
and we talked for more than half an
[17:26] hour. So, I had a visitor today for the
clerk's uh, meeting and he was very
[17:31] interested in local government and it
was very pleasing to go through a
[17:35] function of the township with him, etc.
Um,
[17:41] and it was just nice to see how much
they support residents. Um, okay. I, um,
[17:47] also had a voter call me today. It was
kind of neat that the shot pass on the
[17:51] information and, uh, thanks to the
courier and the way it's so neatly done
[17:56] here, it's, you know, all residents, but
some people just need to step through it
[18:00] and they want to know where they can go
and that we do have early voting and
[18:04] that a yes is open two weeks. I mean, I
guess when you're, you know, been around
[18:08] long time, so many changes in voting,
but I love it. Oh, the clerk's corner
[18:11] here addresses the most immediate
concern, which is voting and
[18:15] registration, things that could be done
around. So, that was pleasing to be able
[18:18] to call her. Um I attended the top board
meeting in Lamont Township which is a
[18:23] hall and uh it's a thrill because I
serve on that board with Gail and Jan
[18:29] and uh it's really nice and it's but
also a treat for us to go to other town
[18:36] halls and see what they have and uh just
it's kind of cool the arrangement of
[18:41] that and the furniture and the style and
stuff. So so it's really neat. I'm
[18:45] always learning and we're always
learning when we serve on those boards
[18:48] and I think in the future I'm going to
share with you the minutes just so you
[18:51] can get a vibe about all the things that
are going on countywide and we're kind
[18:55] of like a united effort. Uh I attended
the clerk's association meeting and that
[18:59] was in Flossmore down in Rich Township
another hall so I put in a lot of miles
[19:04] for the township but it was well worth
because the clerks as always do
[19:08] interesting and fun things. So, at our
meeting, we devote a part of it to
[19:13] honoring our deputy clerks, including
Lisha Pearson. Lisha, unfortunately,
[19:17] couldn't make it, but they prepared a
really lovely certificate.
[19:21] » It's a very nice
>> and they gave Lisha a goodie bag
[19:27] all kind of stuff.
>> All sorts of
[19:29] » Yes.
>> I mean, if you see Rich Township stuff
[19:34] all over,
>> yes, there's a lot of it.
[19:37] » Not a takeover. say but they have really
nice so something we might want to
[19:41] consider which is very nice and uh then
the other thing is because they remind
[19:47] they talked about all the details
surrounding the deputy clerk so I didn't
[19:51] have the pleasure of nominating and uh
appointing and Lishia Pearson Lisha I've
[19:59] invited Lisha to serve again in that
capacity because it's been years since
[20:02] your initial designation and she agreed
so thankfully Lisha is willing to serve
[20:08] the time, but it has to be agreed upon
by our supervisor and then presented to
[20:12] the board for an official vote next
month meeting. I'm presenting to you now
[20:15] so you know you have a heads up if
anyone has any question about it. It's
[20:20] uh but it's quite an honor and I do want
to just say one thing before we vote
[20:23] next month that thanks god Lisha was
appointed deputy clerk uh before because
[20:29] she swore me in. I did the first set of
minutes and then I stroked out. Not
[20:33] intentionally, but I stroked out and
Lisha won for like what six months. You
[20:38] never want to repeat that, but so she
did the minutes and I was wow. Uh, so
[20:42] I'd like you to consider her Gail. I I
could say, but I know you'd be favorable
[20:47] and pleased with that. So, um, and then
we'll swear her in the next month. And
[20:52] then, uh, I mentioned already, anyone
have the ink punch collection, turn them
[20:56] to the courier. What a what a nice way
like the way uh Heather put it in. It
[21:00] was terrific. And uh let's see. Is that
my And that is my report. Oh, and I'm
[21:08] just pleased that uh that we have a
visitor tonight. And Miss Josie, we're
[21:13] really pleased to see you again. I know
you've met with supervisor, you met with
[21:17] me and the uh and the uh director. I
hope you plan to get involved.
[21:23] » You're already impressing us. You and
Bonnie coming here. for drafting you
[21:27] budget your that is my report.
>> Fabulous. Thank you. Any questions for
[21:33] the clerk?
>> Seeing none financial report James I
[21:38] will leave you the host.
[21:44] » Perfect. Good evening everyone. All
right. So tonight I'm
[21:48] » going to share my screen and then we
will walk through the six months ended
[21:52] August 31. So, we're at the halfway
point in terms of our fiscal year. You
[21:56] can see we did collect 50% of our tax
money on the first installment. The
[22:01] second installment, I know I got my
bill, so that should be coming hopefully
[22:04] around the corner sometime in October.
Uh about 1.9 million to date. Takes us
[22:09] to 50% of the property tax budget.
Replacement taxes, again, these come in
[22:13] about every other month from the state
of Illinois. That's the business tax at
[22:16] 58%. Again, 50% of the way through the
year. That looks good. interest that's
[22:21] going to outperform uh the budget for
the year already 45,000 collected there.
[22:25] Um no no read on the Fed in terms of
what they're going to do at the next
[22:29] meeting but they h have held the line uh
and not raised rates. I know we got a
[22:34] good employment number but inflation is
still pretty hot. So they may look to
[22:38] raise a a quarter uh basis point uh if
anything next meeting possibly. Passport
[22:43] fees that also looks good. 24,000
collected. We're at 80% of that budget
[22:48] and at 100% of other uh income brings us
just under 2 million. Uh 3.9 million is
[22:54] the budget. So we're at 51% through six
months. Look at the expenditure side.
[22:58] Again, a lot of green here. We do have
some some timing uh differences of of
[23:03] escalating the uh or skewing the
percentage slightly. 139,000 for
[23:08] contractual services. Again, on a budget
of 243, we're at 57%. Some other
[23:12] expenses, really small numbers here,
4,200 spent, uh, skews it to about 65%
[23:18] and then we're 1% higher on personnel
based on just timing of pay rules, but
[23:22] all in 1.4 million spent. Uh, we're
north of 4 million for the budget, so
[23:26] we're at 34% and 33 and 36% respectively
uh across town and GA. So, all of that
[23:33] produces a nice surplus. Uh, again, 6
months in of about 580,000.
[23:38] Uh and again, we started with about 2.9
million, bringing us to about 3.5
[23:42] million in ending fund balance. And
again, you know, that strong fund
[23:46] balance position is what allows us not
to have to worry about delays from Cook
[23:49] County. Um it also will help us fund uh
projects down the road. So again, that's
[23:54] that's kudos to the board. And we've
remember we've adjusted these two. We're
[23:58] bringing GA down uh increasing town. Uh
both of those strategy work strategies
[24:04] working for us. uh trying looking to
avoid tax objection but also make sure
[24:07] we have adequate fund balances uh to
carry us uh from tax payment to tax
[24:12] payment.
>> And here I'll just note that so this is
[24:15] ending August um and I did just sign the
child care and before and after per as
[24:22] um you would have seen in um Jean's
report. So um that number will change
[24:26] and be almost the entirety um shortly.
>> Yep.
[24:32] Now in terms of distribution taxes
always lead the way at 95% replacement
[24:35] tax almost two interest two passport
fees one other income 0.1 then on the
[24:40] expenditure side agency programming at
44%. Again, you're going to see that go
[24:44] up next month. Child care services at 4%
projects two contractual 10 office
[24:49] supplies.3 assessor 2 billing town hall
4 and a half financial assistance 10
[24:55] pantry three personnel 19 elected
officials two. Again revenues over
[25:01] expenditures we talked about to the tune
of about half a million. And then as you
[25:05] kind of go down you can kind of see the
various detail uh behind the accounts.
[25:09] And again a lot of this is skewed based
on timing or when that money goes out
[25:12] the door. We talked about uh the
agencies having another round go out
[25:17] shortly and then again our summer camps
that was in at 53%.
[25:22] Um and then some of the contractual
spend back to school supplies at 73. Uh
[25:27] some of these other that are we've
already spent the civic clerk and audio
[25:30] and doc access. Uh so those have been
spent at 100% for the year uh year to
[25:35] date. Um outside of that I'm going to
bring us to our
[25:40] investment report.
again uh good numbers. Uh the rates came
[25:45] down slightly. Uh Beimo now just under
2% on their uh what they consider their
[25:51] savings account. So you see we've done
some reallocation. We've put more money
[25:55] back into our Schwab. That's where we're
seeing really the best performance as
[25:58] well as Illinois funds. Um so we're
still continuing to diversify. We've got
[26:02] our laddered uh portfolio approach with
Schwab and those rates are north of
[26:07] three and a half%. So again, we've done
a nice job. you see that in the
[26:10] investment number. Uh and again, no need
for warrants as we wait on tax money. So
[26:15] again, we're everything's pretty much
working uh in terms of of the finances
[26:19] year to date. So far,
I don't have anything else for the board
[26:23] tonight. Uh I'd be happy to take any
additional questions, but I'll leave the
[26:27] uh the warrants up for approval.
>> Any questions for James?
[26:32] » Uh I have some questions.
down the counter.
[26:35] » Page 12 of 93 or six of nine depending
on how you're looking at it. The summer
[26:41] camp scholarships and the back to school
supplies. Are we fully paid out on all
[26:45] of these things at this point? I would
expect, but it's the numbers are just a
[26:51] lot lower than I think I would have
expected. Um, and I just I didn't know
[26:57] if we have anything.
>> I'm sorry. Say it again. Summer camp
[27:02] scholarships.
>> Summer camp is at 53.
[27:06] » I think we didn't have that.
>> We didn't have that many applicants.
[27:09] » Yeah.
>> Yeah. We So, we've gone to a 75%
[27:13] um payment rate,
>> right,
[27:15] » of of qualified applicants.
>> Okay.
[27:17] » Um with a cost vary with the
>> park. Okay.
[27:21] » Um so that that's just something that I
guess might inform our our future
[27:25] budgeting.
>> Absolutely.
[27:26] » Yeah. And then the back to school
supplies, you know, we were under 75%
[27:31] there just about four four or five lines
down from the previous.
[27:35] » Yes, we were a few reduced from last
year.
[27:39] » Um the list
>> if it's not needed.
[27:41] » Yeah. Yes. Some free and reduced lunch.
>> But I I'm concerned that part of that is
[27:46] because free reduced lunch is determined
by the other programs and the other
[27:50] programs were create had issues. So we
do get those lists from the school and
[27:56] we don't do our own um independence.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
[28:01] » Um
>> with 299 this year.
[28:05] » Uh at the very bottom of that page uh
second to last line, HR services. Just
[28:10] want to make sure we're all okay.
>> We will triple check that one. HR
[28:17] services
[28:20] that for
we'll take a look.
[28:26] » Uh page 202
of 93.
[28:32] Um we've got an unclear check from
February.
[28:36] I'm assuming that that's dead at this
point, but I know that that's been like
[28:39] the bane of your existence issue.
>> Absolutely.
[28:43] Um, I think that James fixed that, but I
did not want to. Sometimes it's voided
[28:47] on my end, but it's not pulling up on
the um, report. I think that James fixed
[28:53] that, but I don't go in and unpublish
the board pattern and publish it again
[28:57] because then it's going to notify
everybody all over again. Yes. So,
[29:02] » um, that I cleared up with James the
other day. So, that should be the last
[29:06] one left.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah, it says voided.
[29:08] » Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um and then page 29
again we have any two that are like long
[29:15] outstanding from like April and May.
>> Page.
[29:20] » Um
[29:23] » what are the
>> Xfinity or the item
[29:27] » 9674
9687
[29:31] » What are the
>> These are not super high numbers. I
[29:34] just, you know, as we're clearing things
up, I just want to make sure that
[29:43] » it's on page 29. It's the checking.
>> I see it.
[29:47] » I want to say sometimes if these are
genius checks and they're supposed to be
[29:51] voided, I think that that's the reason
why.
[29:53] » So, I'll have to check in with her about
that.
[29:56] » Okay.
Um because I think I remember from a
[30:01] conversation with Gene that Xfinity
doesn't take our checks when we're
[30:05] trying to pay them um her clients. I
mean which I understand because I mean a
[30:10] lot of people bounce check so I guess if
they want some kind of system Yeah. So
[30:14] » all right cool that's all I have. Thank
you.
[30:16] » Thank you. Any additional questions?
>> No I just concur with uh Trusty McN. I
[30:23] had a couple questions too on the HR
services that seems really out of
[30:27] proportion. Not sure what's going on
there and a couple of the others on the
[30:30] checks and things that sheerated. So,
thank you for that for bringing that
[30:34] forth.
>> Yes, we will make sure because that's a
[30:37] contractual service. So, there shouldn't
be these kind of surprises.
[30:44] Oh, sorry. It's 9674
and 9687.
[30:52] Okay. Trusty Moser,
>> I would like to
[31:00] go back.
[31:04] Yeah, thank you. I
>> I would like to uh move to ratify the
[31:10] expenses from the town fund and general
assistance front for the period of
[31:15] August 1st to August 31st, 2026 as
presented to the board this evening on
[31:21] September 8, 2026 and include in the
minutes a summary of the financials as
[31:29] recited in the financial report this
evening.
[31:32] » Is there a second?
Peterson second. Mr. Clerk, please call
[31:37] and roll.
>> Supervisor Eisenberg,
[31:41] » yes.
>> Trusty McN,
[31:42] » yes.
>> Trusty Peterson,
[31:45] » yes.
>> Trusty Moer,
[31:47] » yes.
>> And Trusty Tucker,
[31:51] » yes.
>> Wonderful. Thank you, James. Um, we also
[31:56] have our investment report in our
packet. If anyone has any has any uh
[32:00] questions um feel free to let me know
and I'll pass them on to our investing
[32:04] team.
>> We should be having them come back out
[32:06] shortly. They normally reach out to me.
>> Yes, they do report.
[32:10] » Um as you saw in the report, they're
doing pretty well. Um all right.
[32:14] Assessor's report. Assessor Churchwell.
>> Yes. Thank you. Um before before I give
[32:19] my report, I'd like to mention uh this
concerning the Northfield Tiff. Um it
[32:25] took uh a resident at a uh trustees
meeting a couple of weeks ago literally
[32:32] referring to the statute to inform the
trustees that they had not followed
[32:36] legal procedures and said and notifying
all the interested parties
[32:40] » before setting up the tip.
>> Wow.
[32:42] » So the they uh last week the president
of the uh trustees sent out and you
[32:49] probably that's one of the reasons I'm
mentioning it because you probably
[32:51] didn't get this. She just sent an email
I think saying that they are delaying
[32:56] going for delaying delaying the final
vote on it to get to give more time for
[33:02] people to come together
if you and I sort of this is my own
[33:09] personal opinion on the subject is that
if they couldn't even get it off the
[33:13] ground right I'm not entirely convinced
they are the right people to carry such
[33:16] a project ahead
but uh I thought if you would like to
[33:21] have that email just for your record,
Gail. I'd be happy to dig it up and send
[33:25] it to you. Okay,
>> I will do that. So then my report um my
[33:30] report was mostly uh around one point
which is that we closed for appeals last
[33:34] September 1st and um it was it was
actually it was it was a very busy
[33:40] month. uh the I think the part the fact
that the uh 2025 tax bills well they
[33:48] came out at the same time in the thing
you know when we had when we've been
[33:51] open about 10 days and we started
getting calls from people who we always
[33:58] get them I had one actually this was an
email the day after um we closed
[34:05] » saying I just got my tax bill in the
mail and we just closed for appeals. how
[34:10] is this fair? Can you explain that? And
I said, "Yes, actually I can." Yeah.
[34:15] » Your tax bill was for 2025 and your
repeal was for 2026. You'll see that
[34:19] result 2027. And I I wanted to say, "Got
any more questions for you to hit me
[34:23] with,
>> but I didn't." But we did we did get a
[34:27] lot of people who were totally confused.
I thought we were just open for appeals.
[34:31] And I'm just looking at this horrible
horrible tax bill now. So we had a a a
[34:36] flurry of of con what's the word I want
not conilbration the one the conflation
[34:43] of conflation with people conflating the
two issues pretty seriously and it just
[34:48] it it makes it just makes everything a
little busier and crazier for a while
[34:52] » but it's great that you're here to help
our residents resolve those things what
[34:56] a bonus
>> I keep feeling there can't be anybody
[34:59] who doesn't know the answer there are
hundreds of some
[35:04] who who just do not have it at all. Uh
but all in all and I was I actually I
[35:10] was surprised at the number of people
who were uh
[35:15] not not who appealed the the number of
appeals was actually the same pretty
[35:19] much but for a second year but the
number of people who were still confused
[35:24] about what they were doing surprised me.
And one of the reasons I think there
[35:29] were um a number of appeals um was
because people were worried about the
[35:34] tax bills which they did not have yet
when when we did open the uh board of
[35:40] review event on August 17th produced we
had about 60 people I think this is
[35:46] according to the board statistics
overall
[35:49] um and that is really about what I would
expect uh for their outreach event
[35:54] during a trienal year. The second year
is usually about half that somewhere in
[35:58] there. So again, the the concern about
the the amount of the tax bills, what
[36:03] the tax bills might come to and how they
how they would affect the need to appeal
[36:08] going forward was very high this year.
And uh the Q&A that Mike and I held the
[36:14] following week on the 26th, we had over
20 people. And last year during the
[36:19] reassessment year, which was the first
time we've done a Q&A as opposed to an
[36:22] outreach event of our own. Um, but we
had I think we had we had maybe a dozen
[36:27] or so, which was fine, maybe 15, but
this time you had between 20 and 25. So,
[36:32] and I I I like having I like the word to
get out about that because I it's just
[36:38] people come in and they ask their
questions their way and that way I can
[36:44] answer their way rather than giving them
canned presentation about what happens
[36:49] when and so forth which they may or may
not take in in any meaningful fashion.
[36:55] And that is the end of my report.
>> Thank you. I might add, I want to
[37:00] commend uh Jan and her team's efforts. I
heard from other residents that went
[37:05] through the you know the appeal process
and you guys couldn't be more uh patient
[37:10] and people are very grateful for your
help and assistance and they knew you
[37:14] were slam but you always you came
through for a lot of people. So you be
[37:17] your team but to be commended for that.
>> It's it's an intense 30 days
[37:23] » but it's only one 30 days. is not
>> not 12 30-day periods or something like
[37:29] that. But thank you.
>> And trusty Tucker was able to attend as
[37:32] my as well. Um
leader Gable was there as well as
[37:37] obviously our board of review
commissioner um and our Cook County
[37:42] Commissioner Scott Britain. Um so well
attended. So thank you. Public comment.
[37:48] » So we have Rash coming up this week. Uh
we have been um
[37:54] actively visiting all of our religious
houses of worship. Both of you um yep uh
[38:01] across all of our um different religious
denominations. Um and we will continue
[38:08] to make sure that we we're being seen
and you know there's people um the guys
[38:12] that are going into the locations and
actually talking to people making sure
[38:15] that they're seen um you know and um
answering any questions and just we
[38:24] we're working very closely with all of
our other um law enforcement partners to
[38:28] make sure that somebody's filtering
through there as the days uh those
[38:33] activities because many of the um
locations will have a very very high
[38:38] number of of people coming. So, please
don't be alarmed if you see us. Um if
[38:43] anybody is traveling over by in
Northbrook off of Techne and Sanders,
[38:47] there is construction there and you
can't turn left off of I believe it's
[38:53] Sanders. Um I've had people that are
turning
[38:58] illegally doing U-turns. Um, yes, the
left turn lane is blocked and all the
[39:02] westbound drivers need to make a right,
which they don't want to do. So, um, if
[39:07] you're going over there, please don't
make a wrong turn because we're going to
[39:10] help you make sure you don't do that
again because it's going to cause an
[39:14] accident. And, um, though, especially,
um, as the fall starts starts coming in,
[39:23] we're going to start moving from direct
enforcement into speed enforcement to
[39:26] slow the cars down because I'm waiting
for the first snowfall. Absolutely.
[39:29] » I do. Um, so we we trying to stay on top
of these things to help people
[39:36] pay attention when they drive for a nice
way of saying it. Distracted driving is
[39:40] a bit of a problem.
So, those are those are the things that
[39:44] we've been working on. We just we also
have Danny Fest down in Main Township on
[39:47] the 13th. Um, or the 23rd, I 23rd. Um, I
had officers over there. Um, so we've
[39:55] been making all of the um
rounds for all of the events that have
[40:00] been going on. Uh, we did it. We did we
I did have another gaming burglary. Um,
[40:06] they these folks are
um the one gaming I have one at 602
[40:13] um Greenwood over in Northfield
Township. There were 10 people that got
[40:17] out of that car. They robbed that place
in less than 90 seconds.
[40:21] So, yeah, we are not chasing them. Um,
they did they hit another gaming
[40:26] location this morning at after 7 a.m.
>> And I'm sorry, what is
[40:30] » the gaming locations? The the slot
machines.
[40:32] » Slot machines. Got it.
>> Yeah, the video poker.
[40:34] » The video poker and stuff like that.
>> So, um, we are diligently monitoring and
[40:41] trying to keep our cars moving. So,
please don't be surprised if you see our
[40:44] cars in the area and, you know, they're
they're constantly moving because I'm
[40:50] I'm trying to do everything I can to um
make it so that the clerks get hurt or
[40:56] any of that.
>> So, those are kind of things that I'm
[40:58] trying to stay on top of. Um I haven't
had um we are expecting similar rain.
[41:04] So, I know I gave you the number for
>> um the highway department in the event
[41:08] that the trees come down and we start
having some water. So that's about all I
[41:12] have going on.
>> We had a lot of constituent questions
[41:17] related to flat cameras. So
>> um do does Cook County use the sheriff's
[41:23] department use them in the
non-incorporated areas?
[41:25] » Yes.
And they are not streaming cameras. The
[41:29] only thing we use them for like this
morning when we had a gaming burglary,
[41:32] we used those cameras to try and track
that car and they um it appeared that it
[41:37] was located right. So, you know, we are
we are very very careful. We use uh case
[41:44] report numbers when we go in there. You
know, we're not, you know, we use those
[41:50] for, you know, I have a missing adult.
She got in a car. Where was the car? You
[41:54] know, this is the plate. These are the
places that it went. Um, we had a case
[41:59] last year, um, about this time of the
year and it was an older person who got
[42:04] in their car and they got lost.
>> Yeah.
[42:07] » And they were all the way, they were
from up here. They were all the way out
[42:10] in Romeoville.
>> Yes. At Lewis University. Yeah. The car
[42:14] kept hitting the camera. Finally, we
called the somebody called the college
[42:17] and the guy found the guy sitting in the
lot.
[42:20] » So, he was and he's like, I I can't
figure how to get back on the
[42:22] expressway. I can't no idea he was even
in Romeo in about that far. Wow. in
[42:26] Romeoville where that is. So those
cameras help us try and find people to
[42:33] get lost, you know, solve crimes. We're
not using those to surveil people. They
[42:37] are not streaming cameras. They are not
surveilling people.
[42:40] » Um I've heard of this Dlock movement. Um
we had a young man who decided that he
[42:45] would follow the DLOC movement and
decided to ride his bike and use a
[42:49] sawzaw to cut down the cameras. He cut
out a bunch of them in Park Ridge and in
[42:53] Niles in a couple of hours. Um he now
understands he probably should do that.
[42:58] He understands.
>> Yeah. Oh, it's very
[43:01] » Speaking of law enforcement, just a
reminder to the board and the general
[43:04] public that Vaneka has announced that
they are doing more enforcement of
[43:07] parking in front of our of our building.
Uh one of our pantry clients found that
[43:12] one out the hard way. The the lined spot
next to a handicap spot is still
[43:19] illegal.
>> Yes, it is.
[43:21] » Very much so.
>> For them to get out.
[43:23] » She called it the hazard spot. I was
like, "No, no,
[43:26] um, but yes." So, please, and we're glad
that they are enforcing obviously
[43:30] because we've had a lot of client
concerns about lack of parking and we're
[43:34] very excited to finally get the parking
back across the street as well as
[43:38] underneath. Um, so the overall thing
that we're doing as a sher as an office
[43:43] is we are um doing an initiative to keep
people from driving in the shoulder
[43:48] » because people don't they believe that
that is an extra lane of traffic. Um,
[43:52] that is not true. Please don't drive on
the shoulder. There's multiple reasons.
[43:56] First of all, um people, if there's
emergency traffic, you can't get out
[44:00] that way. The biggest thing is when you
start driving on the shoulder, that's
[44:04] where all the junk goes.
>> Um you're not going to get one flat
[44:08] tire, you're probably going to get two
or three from the metal that comes off
[44:11] of things and all these things and all
the debris that ends up over there. I
[44:15] understand that people are running late.
Please call and say, "I'm going to be
[44:18] late." Um if we see you if we will stop
you. Um I they have had truck and
[44:25] traffic has been up here to stop people
from driving on the expressways and on
[44:29] those um the shoulder. It is dangerous.
You will cause an accident. People get
[44:34] startled.
>> Yeah.
[44:36] » Um they it is it is a problem.
>> Absolutely. Yes. Do
[44:42] » you have any involvement in that? You
buy
[44:45] » I need
I
[44:47] » So here's the issue with you. Okay. They
are not for the road. Okay. Let us all,
[44:53] you know, we had an incident down in
Main Township. Somebody flagged down one
[44:56] of my officers was a lieutenant and
said, "This guy's laying on the side of
[44:59] the road." He was riding that thing in
the middle of Milwaukee Avenue.
[45:03] » Okay. He did not get hit by a car. I'm
suspecting he was a valid driver. I'm
[45:08] suspecting that he bought that either or
this that that scooter
[45:12] » to offset the cost of gas and no helmet,
no nothing. It looked like he probably
[45:19] weeble out and ate the curb and never
woke up. We went to the hospital for
[45:24] four days in a row to try and see if we
could talk to him. They said he's stable
[45:27] and everything else. They shipped him to
a a rehab facility and unfortunately he
[45:31] passed away. Those
I understand the the allure of them, but
[45:36] I look at them as the minibikes of the
1970s.
[45:42] » Okay.
>> They're much more dangerous actually.
[45:44] » Yeah, they actually are because they go
so fast. You can't hear them. They go
[45:49] very, very fast. And you don't realize I
mean, would you drive your car at 30
[45:55] miles an hour with the door open? No.
But you're going to get on this scooter
[46:00] and fly away. And I've seen people I've
seen the kids riding on a couple of
[46:04] them. A lot of the towns are are
outlawing them. There are provisions.
[46:08] Um, you know, they can't be I think
they're now originally was going to be
[46:12] 14. They're 15. You know, exactly. If we
stop somebody, what are they going to
[46:16] say? I'm 15. You know, do we write the
parent? That would make you really happy
[46:20] if I came over to your house and wrote
you a ticket for something you told your
[46:23] kid not to do. Kids, right? So they they
they're problematic.
[46:28] um because they do go so fast you can't
hear them.
[46:32] » Um we're waiting for the the the law to
kind of catch up. A lot of towns have
[46:36] out lot them and done ordinances. We're
still waiting for Cook County as we all
[46:41] know sometimes the tax bill. We're
waiting for them to catch up on it as
[46:45] well, you know. But again, if you're
going to if they're going to say you got
[46:49] to have insurance and everything else,
you know, these people these parents
[46:52] have already bought these things.
>> Oh yeah. Well,
[46:55] » the drop offs at the schools are
terrible. It's taken me another 10 to 15
[46:59] minutes just to pick my kid up because
of the kids
[47:03] » weaving in and out.
>> A lot of the schools are now they're
[47:07] telling you you can't bring them.
>> Then that leads us to the other thing. I
[47:10] went to the school board meeting and
there's going to be a new law that's
[47:13] coming in July about um electronic
devices.
[47:17] » Yes.
>> That they're not going to be allowed in
[47:19] the schools. They're working on plans.
>> Most of the township authorities got rid
[47:24] of them. Um but yes, that now it's going
to be a statewide
[47:27] » um uh addition.
>> Well, the Apple watches are the big
[47:30] problem because they're using them to uh
>> right. No, they're using
[47:35] » where's the answer,
>> right?
[47:39] » Any additional public comment?
>> Why are you laughing
[47:46] that they're using those things?
>> No interrogation at the township. My my
[47:50] favorite the thing that one kid said,
the one teacher said, "So then high
[47:53] school you can't you got to turn in your
phone, right?"
[47:55] » So now they've just gotten two.
>> I'm going to have this one. This one's
[48:00] » That is That is a classic step ahead.
>> Yep.
[48:05] » Um
>> Excuse me. Supervisor Eisenberg, can I
[48:10] just um
>> mention this Friday is September 11th. I
[48:14] believe it's Friday.
>> Um
[48:17] » isn't it? Yeah. So um on the 10th in the
afternoon is a flag planting on the WKA
[48:22] Village Green where they plant flags in
honor of the victims of 911 and then it
[48:27] remains until sundown on September 11th.
So welcome to any and all to help plant
[48:33] a flag or just come by and observe on
the 11th. So it's a really wonderful um
[48:39] memorial.
>> Absolutely. Appreciate all of our first
[48:42] responders. Um legislative update this
they're not in session. Sorry. Um,
[48:48] that's the update. Acknowledgement of
staff reports. We've received staff
[48:51] reports. Is there anything anyone would
like to take from a staff report
[48:55] discussion?
>> I would like to commend Lisha for trying
[48:58] to get new windows for the building.
>> How's that going?
[49:03] » Um, it's it's tricky. Grants are tricky.
Um, but we did have the energy audit
[49:09] person come out. He came and looked at
the building last week. So, I'm working
[49:14] with our sustainability coordinator to
see if we can even pull it off because
[49:18] there's a lot of steps. Some things we
don't qualify for because we're bigger
[49:23] than a house, but we're smaller than a
big commercial building. So, some of it
[49:27] is according to square footage. Some of
it the the grants really get in the
[49:32] weeds.
>> So, um it's also about timing obviously
[49:36] because we live where it gets very cold
outside. So, the grant is due on the
[49:40] 30th. So, I'll talk to Lucy again so
that we can kind of move through the
[49:45] process,
>> right?
[49:46] » Well, we're in the gather portal for
grants and stuff now, so it should make
[49:50] the process a little bit easier to
apply.
[49:54] » So, um
[49:59] Okay, good.
>> Um anything else? I will note from
[50:04] report you can see the numbers for child
care. We had 16 families, 22 kids for
[50:09] before and after school and daycare
scholarships. Um
[50:14] so um those are coming through right
now. Um we're continuing to see
[50:18] increased use of emergency assistance as
well. Um as well as food pantry. For
[50:24] those who do know anyone who have has
special needs um and is living at home
[50:28] in the in Nutria Township, um please
remind them that the deadline is
[50:32] September 1st for the special needs
support program. That is earlier than
[50:35] usual. So, we're making very much sorry,
September 30th. It was up on September
[50:40] 1st. It is earlier than usual. Um, so
make sure that people know. Um, so share
[50:45] the information that Heather's putting
out there. Um, we created an FAQ. Um,
[50:50] try to make it as clean as possible on
the electronic form, but we know there
[50:54] will be hiccups. So, um, but we need we
need to be able to get those out earlier
[50:59] so that we don't have the issue um of
checks not being cashed before the end
[51:04] of the year. So, um I also wanted to I
forgot to note um from Heather's report,
[51:10] the DMV program, extremely successful.
Every spot was filled for um for Real
[51:16] ID. Um and we
>> they helped me big time. I got all three
[51:20] things done at once.
>> Well done.
[51:22] » Heather is a boot and a half. So yes, in
addition to having the secretary of
[51:27] state's office this year, she was um
Heather was um smart enough to bring in
[51:31] the treasur's office as well as the
department highways. So you could get
[51:35] your transponder and you could learn
about check your eye cash and get check
[51:40] for around ABLE funds and um the new you
get do you know if you have a baby now
[51:45] they give you money for for like the kid
anyway
[51:50] » everything
but anyway you could learn about the
[51:53] treasures program so it's nice to have
all the various
[51:57] um statewide um services available so we
will continue to do that again I believe
[52:02] Heather already has two more on the
calendar because you have to get them
[52:05] soon. Um, please also be aware that we
do have our partnership with the
[52:09] sheriff's department coming up at the
end of the month for the recycling um,
[52:14] program drug takeback. Always popular a
good arm workout. So, we hope to see
[52:20] many people there um to help lift things
when the sheriff's department let me
[52:26] lift
like no.
[52:30] Um we do
>> it's going is I believe it's also
[52:34] » Indian parking lot at Indian Hill train
station
[52:38] » and they have started putting out the
list of items for make a difference day
[52:43] as well also at Indian Hill so a lot of
donation opportunities coming up. All
[52:48] right any additional comments from the
staff reports?
[52:54] Okay, any new business?
Seeing none, continuing business. We
[53:00] have received the committee bylaws from
Steve. Um I had wanted I didn't want him
[53:06] to do this first one. Um I wanted him to
just do the the ones per committee. So
[53:12] I'm not sure it's still there. Um so I
am looking for a motion to approve each
[53:18] committee's individual bylaws.
>> So
[53:22] » is there a second?
>> Second.
[53:25] » Discussion. Yeah.
>> Um okay. Okay. So, page 76, it's the
[53:30] first page of the life stages funding
and oversight committee. There's a
[53:34] council review note. Um, noting that we
need to check.
[53:38] » Yes, that was supposed to be deleted.
>> Okay. Have I number one, I assume that
[53:43] that's for all of the committees
considering that we have mentioned youth
[53:47] in all of the committees,
>> right?
[53:49] » And yes, and we would need an update on
this, I'm assuming.
[53:55] » Um, yes. This is four.
>> It's frustrating. Um I told him to
[54:00] delete. I mean, and he still has my red
line in here, my blue line for the
[54:05] different um for the different additions
here.
[54:10] So, it should have been in final form.
Um okay. But assuming that we're
[54:16] deleting the council review note, which
I believe was AI um and accepting my
[54:23] additional um authority that I added in.
Um so it looks like he did accept them
[54:30] on the other two.
Oh no, only on disability. But you can
[54:35] now you can see
>> right the statutory references. Um, so
[54:40] gently I feel like this is going to need
like one more
[54:46] » confirmatory look and just to make sure
that they're each exactly right and
[54:51] exactly the same the way that we want
them and in final form.
[54:55] » Absolutely.
>> I think we're real close though.
[54:59] » Yes.
>> I have a series of comments on them.
[55:02] » What? Yes, please.
>> Okay. Um, first of all, I uh
[55:07] was very happy with the way you guys
handled the youth provision. I'm glad to
[55:12] see that. Um, with regards to the term,
um, you said that it's uh two two full
[55:22] two consecutive full terms. Um, I think
that should be per committee
[55:27] » because you think it needs to be
clarified by that.
[55:29] » Yeah, I do. That's one. And then I was
curious, I don't remember there being a
[55:35] 12-year limitation on individuals
acting. Is that a new Is that new?
[55:41] » I don't believe that was new.
>> I don't remember it. But as I thought
[55:45] about it, I'm I'm just wondering out
loud if it really makes sense to limit
[55:50] the amount of time the volunteers can
serve the township. Um, that's where I
[55:56] was coming from. So that that was my
query on that.
[55:59] » Okay. people serve what we've had people
serve. No, we have that. That's why
[56:05] » so you could do two terms per right per
item.
[56:08] » I think that makes more sense. Yes.
>> So that was that was my take on that.
[56:12] » Thank you.
>> Um and then the concept now I'm moving
[56:15] over to officers. Um the concept of a
vice chair that's a new thing as well,
[56:20] right?
>> I believe so. Yes.
[56:21] » Because I'd never seen that before. I
think it's a good idea, but that's a new
[56:25] » Yep. just to have a backup
>> and um on the trusty leaison um I was
[56:31] glad that you clarified it because I've
never been really sure voting powers or
[56:36] don't have voting powers completely.
>> Um and then my question is um it says
[56:42] that unless separately appointed as an
adult committee member how and when
[56:47] would that ever occur?
>> I don't think it would.
[56:49] » I don't either. But that's why I just I
called it out because I saw it. Um, and
[56:54] I think those are my comments.
Do
[56:57] » you want to still allow for that to be
an eventuality or simply delete it and
[57:02] say leison on it doesn't get to?
>> It's okay. I just I just didn't know
[57:06] when that would ever come into play,
>> right? Yeah. It was um I I drafted it
[57:11] and my my thought and reasoning behind
it was like the Winna Caucus Council.
[57:19] » Some in some iterations people are
banging down the doors to get in.
[57:24] » Okay.
>> And in other years you are just trying
[57:27] to get the bare minimum number of
people. And so I conceived of a moment
[57:33] in time in which I am serving on the
committee as a committee member that you
[57:39] are the liaison for and vice versa. And
so I was trying to figure out I'm coming
[57:44] up with
>> like the way that somebody could still
[57:47] potentially vote. So that's
>> thank you
[57:50] » my issue from law school.
>> Then I would keep that then as a potent
[57:54] just a failing.
>> Yeah.
[57:57] » So I'm sure people will continue to
knock down the door.
[57:59] » Yeah. All right. Um, so motion um I I
move to table um the final bylaws
[58:06] reviews till the next meeting. Is there
a second?
[58:08] » Second.
>> All those in favor, please say I.
[58:11] » I.
>> Any oppose? Seeing none. Thank you.
[58:18] Uh we are now in line for a motion to
adjurnn. Is there a motion?
[58:22] » Second.
>> And all those in favor please say I.
[58:26] » Any opposed? Say none at see you October
13th.
[58:31] » Good night everyone.
