then added extra work on top of that
which was removal of safety surfacing

122
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:53,680
was increased because there was actually
more material on site at the park

out of the playground area and then a
few areas where the asphalt was uh

130
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,760

exceed project value of

146
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:05,680
$188,100 Poli Services uh camera system
that allows our town Washington County

147
00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:11,000
Sheriff's Department to
uh assist in investigations we're in the

148
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:17,040
process of upgrading the networks that
connect all these individual cameras

149
00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:20,399
together in a more secure reliable uh
fashion and what we found as we moved

150
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:24,720
through the project is that a lot of the
boxes that are on the

151
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:31,560
poles uh are in desperate need of
service some of them are leaking some of

152
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:38,720
them are uh not are too small they don't
have proper environmental controls the

153
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:44,120
boxes are getting too hot uh so it came
in discussion between myself DSC who is

154
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:49,399
our new camera support vendor and
Comcast who would be putting the

155
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:53,600
equipment in the box that it is uh best
recommended that we actually replace all

156
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:59,600
the or most of the boxes that are on the
poles we're trying to pick and choose

157
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:03,800
which boxes we have to replace
uh to best you know protect the

158
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:11,240
investment that we have on these polls
the other aspect to the request is the

159
00:15:07,839 --> 00:15:16,160
necessary upgrades to the servers that
store all the camera video footage

160
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:22,680
itself these servers are extremely dated
they're over

161
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:29,480
capacity uh and you we need to replace
them within the next year uh Windows 10

162
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:33,440
is end of life in o
October after that you know there's no

163
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:38,560
way we can get security patches for the
actual camera servers themselves uh

164
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:44,680
because they won't support any of the
latest operating systems

165

186
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:06,320
you have three minutes you'd like to say
if you're from the township or not that

187
00:18:03,919 --> 00:18:06,320
would be

188
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:17,520
great Jeremy Haley um my thing is the
summer jazz festival thing is coming up

189
00:18:16,159 --> 00:18:22,640
at for Lake
Park and I what I last meeting I was at

190
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:28,159
the County Board of Commissioners I
asked him a certain question they were

191
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:34,120
all in supportive of it but a few were
hesitant about it in a way

192
00:18:31,919 --> 00:18:40,080
because they they said they give the
amount about

193
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:45,320
$10,000 to the F to help it
continue and they said they have not

194
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:48,919
received a p some paperwork from you
that they had asked about what you

195
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:55,520
received in
parking

196
00:18:51,039 --> 00:19:00,280
and and some of them held reservation on
saying that the County Board of

197
00:18:57,919 --> 00:19:07,400
Commissioners are giving
this thing money to go but yet the

198
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:14,919
Township's charging money for people
access to a free concert for parking

199
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:19,960
fees and some of them had reservations
about that

200
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:26,799
issue as to why are we giving money here
out of our budget and the townships just

201
00:19:23,679 --> 00:19:34,520
charging people $10 to get in for the
access to the best you know music

202
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:38,679
thing just let let you know how they
answer it freely you can go back I think

203
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:44,320
a few weeks or not at the last me you
can hear the responses

204
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:51,000
whatnot but it is something i' assess
the whole board to consider how to

205
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:56,440
remediate this situation like that cuz
it he offers it as a free concert but

206
00:19:53,320 --> 00:20:03,240
yet when you pull up you charge $10 to
get into the park

207
00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:08,240
is thank you to my knowledge no one has
reached out to us but we will reach out

208
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:14,039
to the County Board of Commissioners to
find out they normally give money to the

209
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:18,799
Johnny Lawrence organization not to
ipsan Township well I know that that's

210
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:22,960
what I said so I I'm not sure but no
one's reached out to us yet to my

211
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:27,000
knowledge but I'll follow up
thank any other public

00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:37,760

[Music]

215
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:54,880
silver good question all
right are there a board member comments

216
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,600
do we have any board member
comments we had quite a few meetings

217
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:03,679
this week I won't go through them all
one of the um most important meeting was

218
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:09,720
a stakeholder meeting we had internally
with the um washaw County Drain

219
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:15,679
Commission and um omm who did the flood
study report and um there was a large

220
00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:21,720
amount of people around the table and
then we presented they presented and to

221
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:28,159
the public last Thursday I think it was
and there was a good turn

222
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:33,159
out so the township um was a $400,000
study that we partnered with the um

223
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:39,279
Water Resource Commission and there's
lots of recommendations in there and

224
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:43,880
it's somewhere around 30 million for
suggested improvements and we were

225
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:49,000
trying to we're going to regroup and
just figure out how can we also help

226
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:54,039
with um getting information out to
residents on things that they can do at

227
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:59,640
their home to prevent um yucko was there
as well there's backflow preventers that

228
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:04,799
can be installed that would help
especially if it's in a known area yaka

229
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:10,720
was looking at doing a pilot project to
see if they could partner because it's F

230
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:16,200
say it's $4,000 $5,000 that's a lot of
money so they're looking to partner in a

231
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,880
shared cost with people to help for
future

232
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:27,960
flooding there's things with the down
spouts that actually go into some of the

233
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:33,559
homes um storm water goes into their
sewer so when there's a lot of water it

234
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:37,440
fills up and causes a back a backup so
there's things that are going to be

235
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:42,880
recommended and they had educational
pieces that were being handed out but um

236
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:45,840
so we're still in that process and
they'll do a presentation to the board

237
00:22:44,919 --> 00:22:50,520
as
well that meeting happened um we met

238
00:22:48,919 --> 00:22:57,880
with um U
ofm today and talked about some of the

239
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:03,320
Partnerships and we also asked them
about the electrical question that was

240
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:08,840
asked at the last board meeting will the
data center they're proposing take from

241
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:17,000
our electrical grid and they said that
um the plan is to add a substation so it

242
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:22,880
will not affect the our um residents and
our businesses um supply of electricity

243
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:29,200
so that was the answer that they
provided and as we move forward in

244
00:23:26,039 --> 00:23:32,240
partnering with them we we'll let you
guys know when there's something solid

245
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,240
right now we're just talking in
developing relationships we talked about

246
00:23:34,159 --> 00:23:43,279
Economic
Development um marketing but those talks

247
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:47,480
are just still going and um they said
it's still not been formally announced

248
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:53,200
of when they're going to do it they
still thought they would get the funding

249
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,799
from the federal government so it's a
$1.5

250
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:03,840
billion
investment and 200 jobs supposedly but

251
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:10,080
nothing is really solid right now so
once it gets solid and they announce it

252
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:13,360
and start um informing us of more of
what they're doing then we will they

253
00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:18,760
said they're going to come to a board
meeting and do a presentation so

254
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:24,360
everyone can hear it so a resident came
in and asked us about that and reminded

255
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:29,960
me that we need to update the board
here did you want to talk about that or

256
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:36,120
did you want okay and then the um we had
firefighter interviews there were three

257
00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:41,320
vacancies um currently we have 10 people
to interview we interviewed three so

258
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:46,960
this week we're going to wrap it up and
um fill the vacancies in the fire

259
00:24:43,799 --> 00:24:53,240
department good candidates very good and
finally a resident came to visit at the

260
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:59,320
counter and suggested that we have um uh
was called a hyperlink and I'm not even

261
00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:03,840
sure how that works but on our agenda
packet so you can hear the audio while

262
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:08,000
you're looking at the agenda and I know
that our click's office was looking into

263
00:25:05,559 --> 00:25:14,399
that so it was a great idea and
suggestion by our residents just by

264
00:25:11,399 --> 00:25:21,720
