00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
...

2
00:01:04,568 --> 00:01:07,739
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United

3
00:01:07,739 --> 00:01:10,694
States of America and to the Republic for which

4
00:01:10,694 --> 00:01:13,209
it stands. One nation under God,

5
00:01:13,209 --> 00:01:15,209
indivisible with liberty

6
00:01:15,209 --> 00:01:17,392
and justice for all.

7
00:01:18,057 --> 00:01:20,057
Please stay stand, please stay

8
00:01:20,057 --> 00:01:22,057
standing and bow our heads.

9
00:01:22,057 --> 00:01:24,057
Let us pause now to give thanks for the

10
00:01:24,057 --> 00:01:26,207
freedoms we enjoy, for without them

11
00:01:26,207 --> 00:01:28,495
we would not be able to assemble here today.

12
00:01:28,495 --> 00:01:30,495
We take this short moment to remember

13
00:01:30,495 --> 00:01:32,495
the past, give us strength for the present

14
00:01:32,495 --> 00:01:34,899
and hope for the future, amen. "Amen."

15
00:01:34,899 --> 00:01:37,010
McCort. "Here."

16
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:39,010
Strah. "Here." Kitts. "Here."

17
00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:42,043
Sauer. "Here." Dukles. "Here."

18
00:01:49,258 --> 00:01:51,258
Okay, we need a motion to

19
00:01:51,258 --> 00:01:53,258
approve the minutes.

20
00:01:54,563 --> 00:01:56,817
So moved. "Second."

21
00:01:57,626 --> 00:01:59,626
All in favor? "Aye."

22
00:01:59,626 --> 00:02:01,626
Opposed?

23
00:02:03,126 --> 00:02:05,126
Motion to pay our bills.

24
00:02:05,348 --> 00:02:07,348
So moved. "Second."

25
00:02:08,079 --> 00:02:10,079
All in favor? "Aye."

26
00:02:10,079 --> 00:02:12,079
Opposed?

27
00:02:13,142 --> 00:02:15,142
Motion to read the ordinances and

28
00:02:15,142 --> 00:02:17,142
resolutions by title only.

29
00:02:17,142 --> 00:02:19,142
So moved. "Second."

30
00:02:19,514 --> 00:02:21,514
All in favor? "Aye."

31
00:02:21,514 --> 00:02:23,259
Opposed?

32
00:02:23,259 --> 00:02:25,423
I'd like to take this time

33
00:02:25,423 --> 00:02:27,423
to make a

34
00:02:27,423 --> 00:02:29,423
motion to go into executive session

35
00:02:29,423 --> 00:02:31,423
for

36
00:02:31,827 --> 00:02:33,827
employment and litigation

37
00:02:33,827 --> 00:02:35,827
of a public employee.

38
00:02:36,969 --> 00:02:38,969
Second.

39
00:02:38,969 --> 00:02:40,969
McCort.

40
00:02:43,878 --> 00:02:45,878
McCort? "Can you do that?"

41
00:02:45,878 --> 00:02:47,878
Strah.

42
00:02:48,041 --> 00:02:50,041
Kitts. "Can you?"

43
00:02:50,041 --> 00:02:52,643
What? "I think you can do it." Yeah.

44
00:02:53,615 --> 00:02:55,615
Maybe you have time to explain.

45
00:02:56,267 --> 00:02:58,267
My reading of the charter.

46
00:02:58,267 --> 00:03:00,561
And it has a loose interpretation.

47
00:03:01,057 --> 00:03:03,057
The charter does say the Mayor presides over

48
00:03:03,057 --> 00:03:05,057
the council meeting. However,

49
00:03:05,461 --> 00:03:07,461
she made a motion and

50
00:03:07,461 --> 00:03:09,762
I believe everybody votes on it

51
00:03:09,762 --> 00:03:11,762
to go into executive session.

52
00:03:15,056 --> 00:03:17,056
That's very, again,

53
00:03:17,774 --> 00:03:19,911
I brought segments of the charter with me.

54
00:03:19,911 --> 00:03:22,311
I was anticipating this situation.

55
00:03:26,369 --> 00:03:28,513
Does it say anything more about

56
00:03:28,513 --> 00:03:30,513
we have, I've done this in the past.

57
00:03:30,513 --> 00:03:32,513
We have done this in the past.

58
00:03:34,020 --> 00:03:36,424
I don't know about that.

59
00:03:36,424 --> 00:03:39,546
Is that legal? "Yes. Strah said they did it."

60
00:03:41,027 --> 00:03:43,131
So McCort. "Yes." Strah.

61
00:03:43,659 --> 00:03:46,248
Yes. "Kitts." Yes. "Sauer." Yes.

62
00:03:46,248 --> 00:03:48,052
Dukles. "Yes."

63
00:03:48,052 --> 00:03:50,052
Don't go anywhere, folks. We'll be right back.

64
00:03:50,052 --> 00:03:51,542
For sure.

65
00:03:52,847 --> 00:03:54,847
So, someone has to make a motion

66
00:03:54,847 --> 00:03:56,847
to reenter the meeting.

67
00:03:56,847 --> 00:03:58,847
I make a motion to reenter.

68
00:03:58,847 --> 00:04:00,481
Second.

69
00:04:00,481 --> 00:04:02,677
McCort. "Yes."

70
00:04:02,677 --> 00:04:04,677
Strah. "Yes." Kitts. "Yes."

71
00:04:05,584 --> 00:04:07,774
Sauer. "Yes." Dukles. "Yes."

72
00:04:09,209 --> 00:04:11,209
Okay. We're up to our police

73
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:13,529
report. Then back to our police report.

74
00:04:14,332 --> 00:04:16,397
Chief Clark. "You guys."

75
00:04:16,397 --> 00:04:18,312
Everybody has our stats.

76
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,080
For last month we had

77
00:04:22,530 --> 00:04:24,856
37 calls to assist other

78
00:04:24,856 --> 00:04:26,856
agencies and

79
00:04:42,004 --> 00:04:44,004
551

80
00:04:44,878 --> 00:04:46,878
calls for service.

81
00:04:51,216 --> 00:04:53,347
551 calls in one month?

82
00:04:54,462 --> 00:04:56,462
For real? "For real."

83
00:04:56,462 --> 00:04:58,266
For real.

84
00:04:59,068 --> 00:05:01,059
You guys are awesome. "I'd say they're"

85
00:05:01,068 --> 00:05:03,068
doing great.

86
00:05:03,401 --> 00:05:05,623
Can you give us an

87
00:05:05,623 --> 00:05:07,623
update on our parade and how

88
00:05:07,623 --> 00:05:10,401
you guys handled that whole celebration thing?

89
00:05:10,401 --> 00:05:12,401
The parade was probably

90
00:05:12,401 --> 00:05:14,401
a mile. "Yeah."

91
00:05:14,401 --> 00:05:16,401
The parade went over real well. There were

92
00:05:16,401 --> 00:05:18,401
no foul ups, whatever.

93
00:05:18,401 --> 00:05:20,401
It's probably the longest one we've had to

94
00:05:20,401 --> 00:05:22,401
deal with. As we entered

95
00:05:22,401 --> 00:05:24,224
Willow Park, which was the ending,

96
00:05:24,224 --> 00:05:26,224
they radioed and said the last car was leaving

97
00:05:26,224 --> 00:05:27,845
the police department.

98
00:05:27,845 --> 00:05:29,636
So, it was, what?

99
00:05:29,636 --> 00:05:31,636
About a mile and a half long? "Yeah."

100
00:05:31,636 --> 00:05:33,754
That's good. "When I looked at it, it was."

101
00:05:33,754 --> 00:05:35,393
Still passing.

102
00:05:35,393 --> 00:05:37,846
A lot of attendees. It was, it was great.

103
00:05:37,846 --> 00:05:39,846
The fireworks went well. We had no

104
00:05:39,846 --> 00:05:41,846
problems, no issues.

105
00:05:43,124 --> 00:05:45,419
No problems. Nobody got arrested or anything?

106
00:05:45,419 --> 00:05:47,419
Nope. "Does that include me?" No.

107
00:05:47,419 --> 00:05:49,334
No, we keep you in the elevator.

108
00:05:51,004 --> 00:05:53,004
We'll take it to Chief Thompson, then.

109
00:05:53,937 --> 00:05:56,042
Well, we can't compete with 500 and what?

110
00:05:56,042 --> 00:05:58,376
Vehicles, we're upgrading two of them right now.

111
00:05:59,746 --> 00:06:01,902
We've got 222 and 224 going up Eaton

112
00:06:01,915 --> 00:06:04,782
Township on Thursday morning

113
00:06:05,134 --> 00:06:07,134
for pump testing. That'll complete the

114
00:06:07,134 --> 00:06:09,134
year to date for all vehicles.

115
00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:11,800
This is kind of a rough year for maintenance.

116
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,537
We had to replace tires on 3 vehicles.

117
00:06:14,537 --> 00:06:16,537
Batteries on two vehicles and repair

118
00:06:16,537 --> 00:06:18,537
an exhaust leak.

119
00:06:18,537 --> 00:06:20,537
Other than that everything's up and running.

120
00:06:20,537 --> 00:06:22,537
We've got

121
00:06:22,537 --> 00:06:24,798
a handful of doors that have failed.

122
00:06:24,798 --> 00:06:27,015
Either the truss was going

123
00:06:27,021 --> 00:06:29,021
to be installed, we're hoping.

124
00:06:29,151 --> 00:06:31,479
We've signed a deal for last night.

125
00:06:31,479 --> 00:06:33,603
They called today and said they were supposed

126
00:06:33,603 --> 00:06:35,603
be here tomorrow to service them. They told

127
00:06:35,603 --> 00:06:38,008
me the part are on back order for three weeks.

128
00:06:40,135 --> 00:06:42,634
So we'll have to deal with that as we go.

129
00:06:42,954 --> 00:06:45,521
Run numbers are 236 for the year.

130
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,880
50 mutual aid gives.

131
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,695
Four of those are fire. 38 EMS.

132
00:06:50,695 --> 00:06:53,312
We had one request for a marshall in

133
00:06:53,316 --> 00:06:55,420
for a fire last month.

134
00:06:55,451 --> 00:06:57,673
And we've had two

135
00:06:57,673 --> 00:06:59,673
County mutual aid requests for the

136
00:06:59,673 --> 00:07:01,673
hazmat team. We've had

137
00:07:01,673 --> 00:07:03,306
two of our members respond.

138
00:07:03,306 --> 00:07:05,306
One on each of those calls.

139
00:07:05,469 --> 00:07:07,567
And as of today the paperwork

140
00:07:07,567 --> 00:07:09,567
has been filed with EMA for

141
00:07:09,567 --> 00:07:11,567
working hours reimbursement.

142
00:07:11,567 --> 00:07:13,701
Typically what happens is will still it pays

143
00:07:13,701 --> 00:07:15,268
for that.

144
00:07:16,775 --> 00:07:18,775
Working on hydrant testing

145
00:07:18,775 --> 00:07:20,912
other then when it's super hot outside.

146
00:07:21,271 --> 00:07:23,271
And last night we flushed and floated

147
00:07:23,272 --> 00:07:25,271
the dry hydrant on the Reservoir Park.

148
00:07:25,506 --> 00:07:28,301
That way there's a backup line supply

149
00:07:28,471 --> 00:07:30,471
in the event of a large fire

150
00:07:30,471 --> 00:07:32,165
if we need it.

151
00:07:33,776 --> 00:07:36,050
Good job on fireworks. Every vehicle was

152
00:07:36,050 --> 00:07:38,050
staffed to cover any type of

153
00:07:38,050 --> 00:07:40,050
problem we ran into.

154
00:07:40,050 --> 00:07:42,050
We had our Erie picnic.

155
00:07:42,331 --> 00:07:44,442
And a handful of police department

156
00:07:44,442 --> 00:07:46,540
members joined in. It was nice to

157
00:07:46,847 --> 00:07:49,740
share the table with them as well as camaraderie.

158
00:07:50,294 --> 00:07:52,472
The fireworks went off without any major

159
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,072
incidents.

160
00:07:54,072 --> 00:07:56,072
And Hot Stove was able to get

161
00:07:56,072 --> 00:07:58,072
all but one game in

162
00:07:58,072 --> 00:08:00,399
without interference from the fireworks crew.

163
00:08:01,475 --> 00:08:03,475
And then on August 4th

164
00:08:03,475 --> 00:08:05,587
safety services including police and

165
00:08:05,587 --> 00:08:07,587
fire will be playing a softball game

166
00:08:07,587 --> 00:08:09,587
against the Captains from the

167
00:08:09,587 --> 00:08:12,702
newly formed adult slow-pitch softball league

168
00:08:12,702 --> 00:08:14,702
down at Reservoir Park.

169
00:08:14,702 --> 00:08:16,702
We'll be on the field that day at 11 am

170
00:08:16,702 --> 00:08:18,702
if everybody liked to come down and

171
00:08:18,702 --> 00:08:20,702
cheer on the safety forces.

172
00:08:24,446 --> 00:08:26,922
Thanks, Chief Thompson. Any questions?

173
00:08:29,407 --> 00:08:31,748
All right. Ordinance 24

174
00:08:31,748 --> 00:08:33,748
-011

175
00:08:33,748 --> 00:08:35,748
Declaring official intent with

176
00:08:35,748 --> 00:08:37,748
respect to reimbursement

177
00:08:37,748 --> 00:08:39,748
of temporary advances made for

178
00:08:39,748 --> 00:08:41,748
capital expenditures to be made

179
00:08:41,748 --> 00:08:43,748
from subsequent borrowings

180
00:08:43,748 --> 00:08:45,748
and declaring an emergency.

181
00:08:46,179 --> 00:08:48,179
I'd like to speak on that. "I wish you would."

182
00:08:49,379 --> 00:08:51,379
So, um.

183
00:08:51,379 --> 00:08:53,379
Obviously you'll get the overview.

184
00:08:53,391 --> 00:08:55,379
There's several items on the agenda have

185
00:08:55,379 --> 00:08:57,138
to do over the substation.

186
00:08:57,138 --> 00:08:59,910
So, a year and a half or so ago

187
00:08:59,910 --> 00:09:01,844
we started a $3.7 million dollar

188
00:09:01,844 --> 00:09:03,844
substation project.

189
00:09:03,844 --> 00:09:05,844
But we have about

190
00:09:05,844 --> 00:09:07,844
spent all of but about $230

191
00:09:07,844 --> 00:09:09,844
thousand dollars of that.

192
00:09:09,844 --> 00:09:13,237
And there's about $100,000 dollars left

193
00:09:13,237 --> 00:09:15,629
on top of paying contractors.

194
00:09:15,629 --> 00:09:17,943
I'll give you the shortened version but

195
00:09:17,943 --> 00:09:19,943
there's contracts involved and so forth.

196
00:09:19,943 --> 00:09:22,028
But there was approximately

197
00:09:22,028 --> 00:09:24,087
$122,000 dollars,

198
00:09:24,087 --> 00:09:26,087
$130,000 dollars, of

199
00:09:26,087 --> 00:09:28,087
change orders paying for Westfield

200
00:09:28,087 --> 00:09:30,205
because they've got the contract on the project.

201
00:09:30,544 --> 00:09:32,544
So, what I

202
00:09:32,544 --> 00:09:35,643
plan to do expressly for that tonight and

203
00:09:35,643 --> 00:09:37,875
when they too come forward and have that

204
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,875
approved on as soon as they prepare.

205
00:09:39,875 --> 00:09:41,875
The last thing to know about there.

206
00:09:42,071 --> 00:09:44,071
It's a stand off. So what we're

207
00:09:44,071 --> 00:09:46,071
hoping tonight is

208
00:09:46,071 --> 00:09:48,071
we still have the 4k to 12kV

209
00:09:48,071 --> 00:09:50,071
conversion to do. And

210
00:09:50,071 --> 00:09:52,333
approximately I have

211
00:09:52,333 --> 00:09:54,189
change orders for $49,000 dollars.

212
00:09:54,189 --> 00:09:56,189
All kinds of change orders on the agenda

213
00:09:56,189 --> 00:09:58,189
tonight. We have a

214
00:09:58,189 --> 00:10:00,130
change order for GPD.

215
00:10:00,130 --> 00:10:02,261
Change order for GPD

216
00:10:02,261 --> 00:10:04,504
we owe from all the

217
00:10:04,504 --> 00:10:07,123
back and forth meetings we have gone through

218
00:10:07,123 --> 00:10:09,123
trying to

219
00:10:09,456 --> 00:10:11,933
discuss the change orders with Westfield.

220
00:10:12,161 --> 00:10:14,161
Right now we're

221
00:10:14,161 --> 00:10:16,403
planning it on this on

222
00:10:16,599 --> 00:10:18,599
the law director's looking at the contract.

223
00:10:18,599 --> 00:10:20,599
Looking at something we can do.

224
00:10:20,599 --> 00:10:23,122
They're only about two more that they're working

225
00:10:24,192 --> 00:10:26,192
back in line with the substation

226
00:10:26,192 --> 00:10:28,192
project and we're going to discuss that

227
00:10:28,196 --> 00:10:30,188
tomorrow with the law director and myself.

228
00:10:30,192 --> 00:10:32,192
See what we can do. So.

229
00:10:32,192 --> 00:10:34,192
But then I

230
00:10:34,192 --> 00:10:36,188
have GPD and whole group of people.

231
00:10:36,192 --> 00:10:38,420
And we sat down. And I feel

232
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:40,420
that we had compromised on many of the

233
00:10:40,420 --> 00:10:42,420
items. And

234
00:10:42,733 --> 00:10:44,811
so I feel we put in money

235
00:10:44,818 --> 00:10:47,033
and taken money off.

236
00:10:47,255 --> 00:10:50,053
$11 hundred and $85 thousand.

237
00:10:50,053 --> 00:10:52,045
Reminding you guys it'll come back up

238
00:10:52,055 --> 00:10:54,053
$200,000. So they have considered it.

239
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:56,688
And GPD has $17,000

240
00:10:56,693 --> 00:10:58,688
on build hours

241
00:10:58,687 --> 00:11:00,692
they're not billed for. And part

242
00:11:00,688 --> 00:11:02,596
that we missed the

243
00:11:02,596 --> 00:11:04,923
$65,000 dollars in time and material.

244
00:11:04,923 --> 00:11:06,923
That's why we looked to have them come tonight.

245
00:11:06,923 --> 00:11:09,087
Because we felt we could pass this with you.

246
00:11:09,811 --> 00:11:11,811
So we have agreed to. I asked them

247
00:11:11,811 --> 00:11:13,974
if it was thin again. We got a

248
00:11:13,974 --> 00:11:15,974
ton and they

249
00:11:15,974 --> 00:11:18,259
agreed to whatever contract evolves.

250
00:11:18,267 --> 00:11:20,267
We're going to spend another $45,

251
00:11:20,267 --> 00:11:22,097
they'll take $10,000 dollars off.

252
00:11:22,097 --> 00:11:24,097
And everybody's aware that Harris will be

253
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:26,614
watching that. So.

254
00:11:26,927 --> 00:11:29,411
To help alleviate some issues

255
00:11:29,411 --> 00:11:31,620
of financing the

256
00:11:31,620 --> 00:11:34,411
4k to 12kV. Because once we

257
00:11:35,761 --> 00:11:37,931
take on this project and took on the debt,

258
00:11:37,931 --> 00:11:39,931
it really changed the way

259
00:11:39,931 --> 00:11:41,931
sensors were for the sewer

260
00:11:41,931 --> 00:11:43,708
for the electric line.

261
00:11:44,895 --> 00:11:47,456
We're proposing that

262
00:11:47,456 --> 00:11:50,385
we possibly up the loan to $4 million.

263
00:11:51,650 --> 00:11:53,787
To do that we have to pass

264
00:11:53,787 --> 00:11:55,787
legislation tonight. And what this

265
00:11:55,787 --> 00:11:57,682
gives us is the opportunity that

266
00:11:57,682 --> 00:11:59,846
anything that's spent from this point on

267
00:11:59,846 --> 00:12:01,846
through the project. Obviously the timing's

268
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:03,846
getting in the new note.

269
00:12:03,846 --> 00:12:05,524
We can possibly

270
00:12:05,524 --> 00:12:07,524
put it into the loan

271
00:12:07,524 --> 00:12:10,075
and is about to to put it into the loan.

272
00:12:10,075 --> 00:12:12,075
But I suggested that we

273
00:12:12,075 --> 00:12:14,473
make expenses until necessary

274
00:12:14,473 --> 00:12:16,610
absolutely certain out of time.

275
00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:18,610
And then if you

276
00:12:18,610 --> 00:12:21,624
evaluate everything that's spent before we will

277
00:12:21,624 --> 00:12:23,427
have to see how much money

278
00:12:23,427 --> 00:12:25,427
we'll go over for. So maybe

279
00:12:25,427 --> 00:12:27,479
we'll only roll the note over to between

280
00:12:27,479 --> 00:12:29,479
.8 or 3.9.

281
00:12:30,634 --> 00:12:33,087
As part of that discussion

282
00:12:33,087 --> 00:12:35,028
we have accepted totally and

283
00:12:35,028 --> 00:12:37,145
got also before you

284
00:12:37,145 --> 00:12:39,054
the resolutions for

285
00:12:39,054 --> 00:12:41,054
Courtney and Associates once we know all

286
00:12:41,054 --> 00:12:42,995
the expense. It's really obvious to us

287
00:12:42,995 --> 00:12:45,579
that we have a rate study.

288
00:12:45,873 --> 00:12:48,421
So they're willing to start that now

289
00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:51,132
so that it's ready for January.

290
00:12:51,491 --> 00:12:53,993
January billing as we do.

291
00:12:53,993 --> 00:12:55,882
So.

292
00:12:55,882 --> 00:12:58,534
They want to take a look at the funds

293
00:12:58,534 --> 00:13:00,534
to see where our revenues stands.

294
00:13:00,534 --> 00:13:02,534
Possibly have, you know, they're

295
00:13:02,534 --> 00:13:04,529
going to take a look at the rate structure.

296
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:06,534
It hasn't been done since '17, and it's

297
00:13:06,534 --> 00:13:08,534
been seven years. And really that ought to be

298
00:13:08,534 --> 00:13:10,534
zeroed every five years. So,

299
00:13:10,534 --> 00:13:12,690
I think it's time we had.

300
00:13:12,690 --> 00:13:15,228
We have the general. I know you're going to get

301
00:13:15,228 --> 00:13:17,655
Courtney involved because we have that covenant.

302
00:13:17,655 --> 00:13:19,727
We have to be careful how our expenses

303
00:13:19,727 --> 00:13:21,727
play out because how we do that convenant

304
00:13:21,727 --> 00:13:23,727
because of the homes we have.

305
00:13:23,727 --> 00:13:25,727
So the first

306
00:13:25,727 --> 00:13:28,074
legislation is to for AMP.

307
00:13:28,074 --> 00:13:30,525
To allow us to

308
00:13:31,569 --> 00:13:33,569
kind of, grew up to over $200

309
00:13:33,569 --> 00:13:35,570
thousand dollars possibly in expenses

310
00:13:35,569 --> 00:13:37,569
and possibly roll that

311
00:13:37,569 --> 00:13:39,569
over into the note. So that's

312
00:13:39,569 --> 00:13:41,569
really the legislation.

313
00:13:41,856 --> 00:13:43,856
Did I tell you that it's going to cost to them, too.

314
00:13:43,856 --> 00:13:45,856
It's a stop gap. So if

315
00:13:45,856 --> 00:13:47,961
you don't use it, you don't really need it. You

316
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,961
don't have to put it to $6, $7 million.

317
00:13:49,961 --> 00:13:51,961
You can just these on the note,

318
00:13:51,961 --> 00:13:54,118
as you know. But it's got the

319
00:13:54,118 --> 00:13:56,118
option of the flexibility

320
00:13:56,118 --> 00:13:58,262
to get it done. So others

321
00:13:58,262 --> 00:14:00,855
expenses like maybe a portion of

322
00:14:00,855 --> 00:14:04,220
a portion of the expenses. So.

323
00:14:04,716 --> 00:14:06,788
Yes, it will increase

324
00:14:06,788 --> 00:14:08,783
your debt. If so either

325
00:14:08,788 --> 00:14:10,919
I or Courtney will discuss with you,

326
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:12,919
you could possibly

327
00:14:13,089 --> 00:14:15,351
extend your debts for five years.

328
00:14:16,258 --> 00:14:18,356
Pay interest only. And he will go over

329
00:14:18,356 --> 00:14:21,049
all of that with you when he does the rate study.

330
00:14:21,304 --> 00:14:23,910
He'll give you guys your options but how to keep it

331
00:14:23,914 --> 00:14:26,382
from default. Right now

332
00:14:26,382 --> 00:14:28,859
there's been a lot of expenses from the fund.

333
00:14:28,859 --> 00:14:30,859
And I think we should

334
00:14:30,859 --> 00:14:32,859
get someone to

335
00:14:32,859 --> 00:14:34,859
look at giving the

336
00:14:35,055 --> 00:14:37,224
kind of different avenues you can go.

337
00:14:37,224 --> 00:14:39,224
So, the first item

338
00:14:39,224 --> 00:14:41,224
is this O and M.

339
00:14:41,224 --> 00:14:43,224
And that's for to allow spending

340
00:14:43,224 --> 00:14:45,216
to go against the note and so

341
00:14:45,224 --> 00:14:47,224
to next year.

342
00:14:50,179 --> 00:14:52,709
Counselor, looking at you. Understand all that?

343
00:14:52,709 --> 00:14:54,709
Yes, sir. I see the point.

344
00:14:54,709 --> 00:14:56,709
Good day to pick up, buddy.

345
00:14:57,361 --> 00:14:59,361
We'll go over it again.

346
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,081
This gives us a little room.

347
00:15:01,081 --> 00:15:03,081
It gives you an additional way.

348
00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:05,590
An option. "Ben, you got anything"

349
00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:07,655
to add to it? Positive things we're doing?

350
00:15:07,655 --> 00:15:09,655
No. What I think about it? I

351
00:15:09,653 --> 00:15:11,760
understand what the options will be? Yeah.

352
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,760
You take it off the walls. You know where

353
00:15:13,897 --> 00:15:16,185
we have focused our work

354
00:15:16,185 --> 00:15:18,564
with as a very positive way to help us.

355
00:15:19,073 --> 00:15:21,073
We know where we had to go to fund

356
00:15:21,073 --> 00:15:22,818
the whole project

357
00:15:22,818 --> 00:15:25,112
for a substation is done.

358
00:15:25,116 --> 00:15:27,112
The project is complete. "Yes."

359
00:15:27,112 --> 00:15:29,114
It's been a substantial risk. "Yeah."

360
00:15:29,112 --> 00:15:31,112
99.9% for the primary

361
00:15:31,112 --> 00:15:33,112
after two years,

362
00:15:33,112 --> 00:15:35,598
a little longer. Except there will be

363
00:15:35,598 --> 00:15:37,598
the ulforced goal in "Yeah."

364
00:15:37,598 --> 00:15:39,598
trying to keep out GPD.

365
00:15:39,598 --> 00:15:42,043
GPD out it until we get someone else.

366
00:15:44,835 --> 00:15:47,090
But the transformer is up and running

367
00:15:47,090 --> 00:15:49,090
by the new transformers.

368
00:15:56,565 --> 00:15:58,972
So council, what do you thinking of doing?

369
00:16:10,909 --> 00:16:12,909
Well they're declaring an emergency.

370
00:16:12,909 --> 00:16:14,909
So we have to make a motion

371
00:16:14,909 --> 00:16:16,909
to suspend the rules to start with.

372
00:16:19,166 --> 00:16:21,166
Motion to suspend the rules.

373
00:16:21,942 --> 00:16:23,414
Second.

374
00:16:24,888 --> 00:16:27,439
All in favor? "Aye." Opposed?

375
00:16:36,311 --> 00:16:38,311
Motion to pass the Ordinance

376
00:16:38,311 --> 00:16:40,565
24-011.

377
00:16:44,896 --> 00:16:46,394
Second.

378
00:16:46,590 --> 00:16:49,650
All in favor? "Except Gene."

379
00:16:51,985 --> 00:16:53,985
There's still a motion. Call a vote.

380
00:17:01,186 --> 00:17:03,949
All in favor? "Aye." Opposed?

381
00:17:10,401 --> 00:17:13,107
Resolution 24-014

382
00:17:13,107 --> 00:17:15,107
Adopting the proposed

383
00:17:15,107 --> 00:17:17,107
2025 tax budget

384
00:17:17,107 --> 00:17:19,107
and declaring an emergency. Stephanie.

385
00:17:23,999 --> 00:17:26,970
So the tax budget is,

386
00:17:29,051 --> 00:17:31,653
is, we have to. It's due by.

387
00:17:32,331 --> 00:17:34,331
It has to be sent in by July

388
00:17:34,331 --> 00:17:36,331
19th but it's due by July 3rd.

389
00:17:36,331 --> 00:17:38,758
First it has to be passed. Or

390
00:17:39,436 --> 00:17:41,428
And that is what we believe

391
00:17:41,436 --> 00:17:44,312
that we will receive in revenue

392
00:17:44,534 --> 00:17:46,964
for 2025.

393
00:17:51,602 --> 00:17:53,602
And that's involves our projects.

394
00:17:54,874 --> 00:17:57,135
Motion to suspend the rules.

395
00:17:58,382 --> 00:17:59,787
Second.

396
00:18:00,094 --> 00:18:02,094
All in favor? "Aye."

397
00:18:03,339 --> 00:18:05,026
A motion to pass

398
00:18:05,053 --> 00:18:08,302
Resolution 24-014.

399
00:18:09,237 --> 00:18:10,386
Second.

400
00:18:10,386 --> 00:18:12,601
All in favor? "Aye."

401
00:18:12,601 --> 00:18:14,601
Opposed?

402
00:18:17,504 --> 00:18:19,836
Resolution 24-015

403
00:18:19,836 --> 00:18:22,555
Authorizing the mayor or village administrator

404
00:18:22,555 --> 00:18:24,758
of the Village of Grafton to enter into an

405
00:18:24,758 --> 00:18:26,902
agreement with Kleinfelder for planning

406
00:18:26,902 --> 00:18:28,902
and engineering services for the

407
00:18:28,902 --> 00:18:31,229
Grafton Envision Main Street

408
00:18:31,229 --> 00:18:33,229
Wayfinding and Trailhead

409
00:18:33,229 --> 00:18:35,366
project and declaring an emergency.

410
00:18:36,110 --> 00:18:38,110
Okay, that's my project. "That's you area."

411
00:18:38,110 --> 00:18:40,110
Yeah. So, um, so,

412
00:18:40,110 --> 00:18:42,045
we filed and we got a

413
00:18:42,045 --> 00:18:44,430
$130,000 dollars for Wayfinding.

414
00:18:44,645 --> 00:18:46,645
So we have a plan

415
00:18:46,645 --> 00:18:48,645
to pay for several areas

416
00:18:48,645 --> 00:18:50,835
for trailways on the job. I

417
00:18:50,835 --> 00:18:53,018
also tried to incorporate

418
00:18:53,018 --> 00:18:55,018
to try to find a grant that will fund

419
00:18:55,018 --> 00:18:57,103
the trail. We're going to try to, you know.

420
00:18:57,103 --> 00:18:59,103
I've already it with Andrew.

421
00:18:59,103 --> 00:19:01,855
And to try to work with

422
00:19:02,944 --> 00:19:04,944
Mr. Flanigan for an alternate.

423
00:19:04,944 --> 00:19:06,944
I've also allowed the trail to

424
00:19:06,944 --> 00:19:08,716
end where the bowling alley was.

425
00:19:08,716 --> 00:19:10,944
We're also be doing that trail head

426
00:19:10,944 --> 00:19:13,100
using their sidewalks. We're trying to

427
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:14,641
work with Metroparks also.

428
00:19:14,641 --> 00:19:16,719
But to help affiliate

429
00:19:16,719 --> 00:19:18,719
Andrew and Tugg is

430
00:19:18,719 --> 00:19:20,719
TLCI money.

431
00:19:20,719 --> 00:19:23,026
It's for the work to do the initiative.

432
00:19:23,026 --> 00:19:25,505
We got funds from NOACA.

433
00:19:25,505 --> 00:19:27,505
ODOT's involved. We have to have as focus

434
00:19:27,505 --> 00:19:30,107
services for different meetings with ODOT.

435
00:19:30,107 --> 00:19:32,107
So this is to help facilitate

436
00:19:32,107 --> 00:19:34,107
along with Andrew

437
00:19:34,107 --> 00:19:36,107
so we use private accountants.

438
00:19:44,228 --> 00:19:46,635
So we need a motion to suspend the rules.

439
00:19:47,744 --> 00:19:49,744
Motion to suspend the rules.

440
00:19:50,143 --> 00:19:51,397
Second.

441
00:19:51,397 --> 00:19:53,397
All in favor? "Aye."

442
00:19:53,397 --> 00:19:55,397
Opposed?

443
00:20:00,407 --> 00:20:02,734
Motion to pass Resolution

444
00:20:02,734 --> 00:20:05,597
24-015.

445
00:20:07,260 --> 00:20:08,367
Second.

446
00:20:08,595 --> 00:20:10,595
All in favor? "Aye."

447
00:20:10,595 --> 00:20:12,595
Opposed?

448
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:19,260
Resolution 24-016

449
00:20:20,030 --> 00:20:22,279
Authorizing the mayor or village administrator

450
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:24,279
of the Village of Grafton to enter into an

451
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:26,946
agreement with Kleinfelder for engineering

452
00:20:26,946 --> 00:20:29,611
services for Vivian Drive, Shelby and Jamie

453
00:20:29,611 --> 00:20:31,906
Court Roadway Improvement project

454
00:20:31,906 --> 00:20:33,991
and declaring an emergency.

455
00:20:34,441 --> 00:20:36,723
Okay, so this is the

456
00:20:36,723 --> 00:20:38,720
OPWC project that we have

457
00:20:38,728 --> 00:20:40,782
two of the guys here but we

458
00:20:40,782 --> 00:20:43,396
applied for and we just signed the contract.

459
00:20:43,396 --> 00:20:45,360
This is along with ODOT Phase 2

460
00:20:45,368 --> 00:20:47,357
that connects phases of

461
00:20:47,357 --> 00:20:49,782
... and ...

462
00:20:50,754 --> 00:20:53,029
They still have the engineering

463
00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:55,029
of the path walk overlays

464
00:20:55,029 --> 00:20:57,029
over those two to find something

465
00:20:57,029 --> 00:20:59,029
that works over there. So this is for their

466
00:20:59,029 --> 00:21:01,022
eventually ending up in ...

467
00:21:01,029 --> 00:21:03,029
I make a motion? Yeah?

468
00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:04,925
That'll backfill this.

469
00:21:04,925 --> 00:21:06,925
That's a ways Novak Road and

470
00:21:06,925 --> 00:21:08,925
and Wayfinding Trails

471
00:21:08,925 --> 00:21:10,925
close in the next couple weeks.

472
00:21:16,203 --> 00:21:18,203
Motion to suspend the rules.

473
00:21:19,754 --> 00:21:21,286
Second.

474
00:21:21,547 --> 00:21:23,547
All in favor? "Aye."

475
00:21:23,547 --> 00:21:25,215
Opposed?

476
00:21:25,776 --> 00:21:27,776
A motion to pass Resolution

477
00:21:27,776 --> 00:21:30,260
24-016.

478
00:21:30,547 --> 00:21:32,547
All in favor? "Aye."

479
00:21:32,547 --> 00:21:34,272
Opposed?

480
00:21:34,272 --> 00:21:36,076
Oh, I'm sorry.

481
00:21:36,076 --> 00:21:37,500
Second.

482
00:21:38,381 --> 00:21:40,591
All in favor? "Aye."

483
00:21:40,609 --> 00:21:42,609
Opposed?

484
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:48,792
Resolution 24-017

485
00:21:48,792 --> 00:21:51,581
Authorizing a change order number 17

486
00:21:51,966 --> 00:21:54,430
in the amount of $41,195

487
00:21:54,430 --> 00:21:56,880
dollars in connection with the contract

488
00:21:57,089 --> 00:21:59,516
with Westfield Electric for the oil

489
00:21:59,516 --> 00:22:01,516
containment system for the main

490
00:22:01,516 --> 00:22:03,751
substation rebuild project

491
00:22:03,829 --> 00:22:05,967
and declaring an emergency. That's

492
00:22:05,967 --> 00:22:08,551
what Linda Bales talked about a little bit ago.

493
00:22:09,242 --> 00:22:11,242
This is the request that went with them.

494
00:22:11,242 --> 00:22:13,242
I'm still open to

495
00:22:13,242 --> 00:22:15,544
the best policy.

496
00:22:17,977 --> 00:22:19,977
Not one of them. Not one of the

497
00:22:19,977 --> 00:22:21,583
$130. This is over and above.

498
00:22:21,583 --> 00:22:23,583
This will be coming out of

499
00:22:23,583 --> 00:22:25,659
the loan. That's one of the reasons

500
00:22:25,662 --> 00:22:27,549
I wanted to pass that

501
00:22:27,551 --> 00:22:29,551
actual amount of the loan.

502
00:22:29,551 --> 00:22:31,362
In case we get some funds here.

503
00:22:37,436 --> 00:22:39,436
We're working on the other one.

504
00:22:40,030 --> 00:22:42,030
There is one other fund that we

505
00:22:42,030 --> 00:22:44,297
can spend. But we don't want the funds to get

506
00:22:44,297 --> 00:22:46,297
too low. You know, they got.

507
00:22:47,993 --> 00:22:50,464
What is this oil containment system do?

508
00:22:50,594 --> 00:22:52,953
This is for the transformers that we used.

509
00:22:52,953 --> 00:22:54,948
It catches that oil from transformers

510
00:22:54,953 --> 00:22:56,633
and

511
00:22:56,633 --> 00:22:58,633
it doesn't leak out on the ground

512
00:22:58,633 --> 00:23:00,633
in EPA violation.

513
00:23:00,633 --> 00:23:02,705
So basically

514
00:23:02,705 --> 00:23:05,546
in the long run, GPD's methodology

515
00:23:05,546 --> 00:23:07,546
was the engineering part of that.

516
00:23:07,546 --> 00:23:09,546
Quit and then fall.

517
00:23:09,549 --> 00:23:11,546
They asked if we need the containment

518
00:23:11,546 --> 00:23:13,546
and it's what we came to.

519
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:16,538
Harris decided to go with a tube at the top

520
00:23:16,538 --> 00:23:18,528
instead of remedial

521
00:23:18,540 --> 00:23:20,538
... trap.

522
00:23:21,008 --> 00:23:23,008
So we bought a system that will

523
00:23:23,008 --> 00:23:25,008
protect the water from the ground

524
00:23:25,008 --> 00:23:27,290
against the ...

525
00:23:27,341 --> 00:23:29,341
So this system,

526
00:23:29,739 --> 00:23:31,739
it was the one that's best at

527
00:23:31,739 --> 00:23:33,739
contamination of water.

528
00:23:33,876 --> 00:23:35,876
In this case we started last fall

529
00:23:35,876 --> 00:23:37,876
to compare with the stone environment.

530
00:23:38,241 --> 00:23:40,241
And so a transformer leak

531
00:23:40,241 --> 00:23:42,241
is all contained in that.

532
00:23:43,944 --> 00:23:45,944
So we can use it

533
00:23:45,944 --> 00:23:47,944
today.

534
00:23:50,462 --> 00:23:52,462
This was the first system that

535
00:23:52,462 --> 00:23:54,462
addressed the concern of the engineering

536
00:23:54,462 --> 00:23:56,743
by GPD and Forest.

537
00:23:56,743 --> 00:23:58,743
So we had the two options

538
00:23:58,743 --> 00:24:01,248
and planning decided by ...

539
00:24:01,431 --> 00:24:04,494
for the cheap option.

540
00:24:05,968 --> 00:24:07,968
We not going to take them out and

541
00:24:07,968 --> 00:24:10,509
...

542
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,325
We looked at what option will

543
00:24:13,325 --> 00:24:15,325
provide more anti-leak protection here.

544
00:24:15,325 --> 00:24:17,316
The other option would make more

545
00:24:17,328 --> 00:24:19,325
sense then and maybe

546
00:24:19,325 --> 00:24:21,325
on a two way platform.

547
00:24:22,460 --> 00:24:24,460
And I suggested we go

548
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:26,603
with the fiberglass model and contract.

549
00:24:26,603 --> 00:24:28,603
We were impressed with both of them.

550
00:24:29,490 --> 00:24:31,490
...

551
00:24:31,490 --> 00:24:34,070
Why would something have to work?

552
00:24:36,216 --> 00:24:38,562
It would be a first degree drain all the way around

553
00:24:38,562 --> 00:24:40,562
You got to be careful. So.

554
00:24:42,832 --> 00:24:44,843
GPD was made aware of

555
00:24:44,845 --> 00:24:47,139
a lot of sheep we had to shear.

556
00:24:47,126 --> 00:24:50,025
They did the corner, remember? Not the middle.

557
00:24:55,224 --> 00:24:56,784
And

558
00:24:56,784 --> 00:24:58,895
we did buy the cheap and easy one.

559
00:25:00,108 --> 00:25:02,631
... at that point?

560
00:25:13,517 --> 00:25:16,097
Well we had, we had the option

561
00:25:16,097 --> 00:25:18,727
to pay some in direct proportion to

562
00:25:18,727 --> 00:25:20,727
and I suggested something

563
00:25:20,727 --> 00:25:23,394
and they didn't really answer.

564
00:25:27,412 --> 00:25:30,295
And luckily we already had a place to

565
00:25:30,797 --> 00:25:33,059
to have to move and that much we love

566
00:25:33,424 --> 00:25:35,652
helping you guys. We're going to replace them.

567
00:25:35,652 --> 00:25:37,965
Is one way for sure.

568
00:25:41,155 --> 00:25:43,155
Somebody's going to have to do it.

569
00:25:44,525 --> 00:25:46,525
But if it originally gets into your system.

570
00:25:46,525 --> 00:25:48,682
I think GPD should listen

571
00:25:48,682 --> 00:25:50,682
and have a response open for that because

572
00:25:50,682 --> 00:25:52,820
if it wasn't going to work, it shouldn't have

573
00:25:52,820 --> 00:25:54,820
been an option. "We need to get it out there."

574
00:25:55,270 --> 00:25:57,710
The people that make it came out to fix it.

575
00:26:00,750 --> 00:26:02,750
And so you guys go back and

576
00:26:02,750 --> 00:26:05,064
find something else you can drive back there

577
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:07,622
and kind of see if someone set up by the

578
00:26:07,772 --> 00:26:10,392
fence. It's hopefully boarded up, We'll see.

579
00:26:32,309 --> 00:26:34,309
Bob said, that he

580
00:26:34,309 --> 00:26:36,309
needs the option. I make a motion

581
00:26:36,309 --> 00:26:38,309
to suspend the rules.

582
00:26:40,347 --> 00:26:41,614
Second.

583
00:26:41,744 --> 00:26:43,928
All in favor? "Aye."

584
00:26:43,928 --> 00:26:45,928
Opposed?

585
00:26:47,885 --> 00:26:49,885
I make a motion to

586
00:26:49,885 --> 00:26:52,716
pass Resolution 24-017.

587
00:26:55,261 --> 00:26:56,746
Second.

588
00:26:57,345 --> 00:26:59,345
All in favor? "Aye."

589
00:26:59,345 --> 00:27:01,345
Opposed?

590
00:27:04,815 --> 00:27:06,815
Resolution 24-

591
00:27:06,815 --> 00:27:08,815
018

592
00:27:09,630 --> 00:27:11,969
Authorizing a change order in the amount of

593
00:27:11,969 --> 00:27:14,592
$64,225 dollars for the

594
00:27:14,592 --> 00:27:16,866
contract with Glaus,

595
00:27:16,866 --> 00:27:18,866
Pyle, Schemer, Burns and DeHaven

596
00:27:18,866 --> 00:27:20,644
which is GPD,

597
00:27:20,644 --> 00:27:22,644
for the Grafton main substation

598
00:27:22,644 --> 00:27:25,710
rebuild project and declaring an emergency.

599
00:27:26,636 --> 00:27:28,636
Linda, would you like to speak on that?

600
00:27:28,636 --> 00:27:30,627
Yes, that why he said it

601
00:27:30,636 --> 00:27:32,636
but I'm not going to. That was

602
00:27:32,636 --> 00:27:34,636
something I said from the project. "Right."

603
00:27:34,636 --> 00:27:37,194
This was change orders.

604
00:27:37,194 --> 00:27:38,926
We went back and forth.

605
00:27:38,926 --> 00:27:40,926
There's a lot of

606
00:27:41,487 --> 00:27:44,363
she said, he said kind of things going on.

607
00:27:44,363 --> 00:27:46,618
Our choice has come to the point we have to

608
00:27:46,618 --> 00:27:48,618
try that. Try to take that

609
00:27:48,618 --> 00:27:51,005
$10,000, and $17,000.

610
00:27:51,005 --> 00:27:53,169
And if we watched how much we

611
00:27:53,177 --> 00:27:55,169
count on them coming in, I think we

612
00:27:55,169 --> 00:27:57,700
will definitely stay under that amount.

613
00:28:18,784 --> 00:28:20,784
Council, what's your pleasure?

614
00:28:26,740 --> 00:28:28,739
Has GPD amended

615
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:30,740
anything with the

616
00:28:30,740 --> 00:28:32,740
original oil containment?

617
00:28:32,740 --> 00:28:34,740
And any technology in there?

618
00:28:34,740 --> 00:28:36,733
It's not going to work? They did say

619
00:28:36,733 --> 00:28:38,733
It's outside of their clock.

620
00:28:38,740 --> 00:28:40,733
So obsolete

621
00:28:40,740 --> 00:28:42,740
they didn't commit to anything at the time

622
00:28:42,740 --> 00:28:44,740
and they're flying by the seat of their pants.

623
00:28:45,171 --> 00:28:47,171
I'm going to take one now.

624
00:28:52,676 --> 00:28:54,676
It's that $64,000 which

625
00:28:54,676 --> 00:28:57,742
goes to $125. That's large numbers.

626
00:28:57,748 --> 00:28:59,748
coming off of that pay. "Yes."

627
00:29:01,386 --> 00:29:03,386
I don't foresee us going that far.

628
00:29:03,386 --> 00:29:05,125
There will be a time to.

629
00:29:05,125 --> 00:29:07,125
We run that. "I know." Yeah.

630
00:29:07,966 --> 00:29:09,966
They're still negotiating that.

631
00:29:10,292 --> 00:29:12,292
Ah, no, this is the number but

632
00:29:12,292 --> 00:29:14,292
it's the time and material. So

633
00:29:14,292 --> 00:29:16,292
I feel the project's done.

634
00:29:16,292 --> 00:29:18,292
We just have that last change order put

635
00:29:18,292 --> 00:29:20,435
together. We'll whittle them down from there.

636
00:29:22,164 --> 00:29:24,164
We never would rely on the numbers.

637
00:29:33,055 --> 00:29:35,055
Motion to suspend the rules.

638
00:29:37,097 --> 00:29:38,580
Second.

639
00:29:39,226 --> 00:29:41,226
All in favor? "Aye."

640
00:29:41,226 --> 00:29:43,226
Opposed?

641
00:29:46,821 --> 00:29:48,821
Motion to pass

642
00:29:48,821 --> 00:29:50,821
24-018.

643
00:29:52,060 --> 00:29:53,421
Second.

644
00:29:53,421 --> 00:29:55,638
All in favor? "Aye."

645
00:29:55,638 --> 00:29:57,638
Opposed?

646
00:30:00,613 --> 00:30:02,718
Resolution 24-0

647
00:30:02,718 --> 00:30:04,829

to make applications for the Nature

650
00:30:08,954 --> 00:30:10,954
Works Grants Program Fund

651
00:30:10,954 --> 00:30:12,954
and declaring an emergency. "I think you missed"

652
00:30:12,954 --> 00:30:15,046
19. You want to go back? "Yep. Anybody"

653
00:30:15,046 --> 00:30:17,046
Yep, try again.

654
00:30:17,372 --> 00:30:19,372
Let's go back to that one.

655
00:30:19,372 --> 00:30:21,666
Resolution 24-019

656
00:30:21,666 --> 00:30:24,444
Authorizing the mayor or village administrator

657
00:30:24,783 --> 00:30:26,959

659
00:30:28,959 --> 00:30:31,902
rate study and declaring that an emergency.

660
00:30:31,902 --> 00:30:33,902
And you talked about that earlier. "Right."

661
00:30:33,902 --> 00:30:35,902
More and a possible survey study

662
00:30:35,902 --> 00:30:37,902
that is also looking at the fund.

663
00:30:37,902 --> 00:30:39,902
Dealing with what we can do

664
00:30:39,902 --> 00:30:41,902
in easy succession to give us

665
00:30:41,902 --> 00:30:43,902
a rate increase, if needed.

666
00:30:43,902 --> 00:30:46,795
And the last one was in 2017, correct?

667
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,440
Motion to suspend the rules.

668
00:30:54,484 --> 00:30:55,830
Second.

669
00:30:58,100 --> 00:31:00,100
All in favor? "Aye."

670
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:02,100

00:31:03,814 --> 00:31:07,452
Motion to pass 24-019

672
00:31:09,748 --> 00:31:11,428
Second.

673
00:31:12,133 --> 00:31:14,133
All in favor? "Aye."

674
00:31:14,133 --> 00:31:15,754
Opposed?

675
00:31:17,261 --> 00:31:20,500
Now we're at Resolution 24-020

676
00:31:20,716 --> 00:31:23,082
Authorizing the mayor or village administrator

677
00:31:23,082 --> 00:31:25,082
of the Village of Grafton to make applications

678
00:31:25,082 --> 00:31:27,219
for the Nature Works Grant Program

679
00:31:27,219 --> 00:31:30,000
funds and declaring an emergency.

680
00:31:30,300 --> 00:31:32,300
Okay. So the accounts are finally.

681
00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:34,300
ODOT put out

682
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:36,503
the new Nature Works. Sent it to us

683
00:31:36,511 --> 00:31:38,503
on the 13th. So

684
00:31:38,503 --> 00:31:41,350
we looked at our project with engineering and

685
00:31:42,245 --> 00:31:44,439
discussed it. We, as we all know, there's a lot

686
00:31:44,439 --> 00:31:46,439
of concern about Reservoir Park signs.

687
00:31:46,439 --> 00:31:48,721
And we did fix it.

688
00:31:48,721 --> 00:31:51,238
A corresponding fix is on hold.

689
00:31:51,238 --> 00:31:53,238
We tried to do an asphalt over

690
00:31:53,241 --> 00:31:55,016
it with the County.

691
00:31:55,016 --> 00:31:57,007
And I was searching and we were talking

692
00:31:57,016 --> 00:31:59,016
to our engineer. And we're searching for

693
00:31:59,016 --> 00:32:01,016
a way to fund that road.

694
00:32:01,016 --> 00:32:03,259
So, we're, we

695
00:32:03,266 --> 00:32:05,266
seeing all the bad. I remember one time

696
00:32:05,259 --> 00:32:07,167
the

697
00:32:07,167 --> 00:32:09,167
Nature Works paid for

698
00:32:09,167 --> 00:32:11,167
North Park.

699
00:32:11,167 --> 00:32:13,167
To pave that roadway

700
00:32:13,167 --> 00:32:15,167
and parking lot. So.

701
00:32:15,167 --> 00:32:17,167
But we did look at the

702
00:32:17,167 --> 00:32:19,167
plan. It is

703
00:32:19,167 --> 00:32:21,200
to do that road, it would be about

704
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,579
$250,000 dollars.

705
00:32:23,579 --> 00:32:25,579
So we are going to put in.

706
00:32:25,579 --> 00:32:28,003
We actually look to spend about $70,000.

707
00:32:28,003 --> 00:32:30,003
Try to, you know, find funds

708
00:32:30,003 --> 00:32:32,147
from other places to do that roadway.

709
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:34,284
Ordinarily, we're talking about a road closing

710
00:32:34,284 --> 00:32:36,179
that we don't want. So we're going to try.

711
00:32:36,179 --> 00:32:38,179
I think we're going to get it. But this is what we

712
00:32:38,179 --> 00:32:40,179
want to finance this. So that's what we're doing

713
00:32:40,179 --> 00:32:42,179
If I pass legislation

714
00:32:42,179 --> 00:32:44,179
so I can go ahead and apply

715
00:32:44,179 --> 00:32:46,179
and he's going to work with Tomco

716
00:32:46,179 --> 00:32:49,088
with that in my application.

717
00:32:57,829 --> 00:32:59,829
Make a motion to suspend the rules.

718
00:33:00,448 --> 00:33:01,829
Second.

719
00:33:01,992 --> 00:33:03,992
All in favor? "Aye."

720
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,450
Opposed?

721
00:33:08,694 --> 00:33:10,694
I make a motion to pass Resolution

722
00:33:10,694 --> 00:33:12,577
24-020.

723
00:33:12,577 --> 00:33:14,498
All in favor? "Aye."

724
00:33:14,498 --> 00:33:16,170
Opposed?

725
00:33:22,008 --> 00:33:24,322
Resolution 24-021

726
00:33:24,322 --> 00:33:26,322
Authorizing the mayor or village administrator

727
00:33:26,322 --> 00:33:29,074
and/or clerk-treasurer

728
00:33:29,994 --> 00:33:31,994
of the Village of Grafton

729
00:33:32,607 --> 00:33:34,607
to prepare and submit applications

730
00:33:34,607 --> 00:33:36,882
to participate in the

731
00:33:36,882 --> 00:33:39,599
OPWC State Capital Improvement

732
00:33:39,860 --> 00:33:42,207
and/or local transportation

733
00:33:42,207 --> 00:33:44,207
improvement programs

734
00:33:44,207 --> 00:33:46,435
with further authorization

735
00:33:46,435 --> 00:33:48,435
to execute contracts

736
00:33:48,435 --> 00:33:50,435
as required, and

737
00:33:50,435 --> 00:33:52,435
declaring an emergency. "Okay. Some of this"

738
00:33:52,435 --> 00:33:55,547
you know, any OPWC application.

739
00:33:55,651 --> 00:33:58,104
So I got that

740
00:33:58,104 --> 00:34:00,104
it's never too early to start that.

741
00:34:00,104 --> 00:34:02,504
So, um, first

742
00:34:03,457 --> 00:34:05,770
we're submitting Novak Road Phase 3.

743
00:34:05,770 --> 00:34:07,652
So, um, that's

744
00:34:07,652 --> 00:34:09,652
somewhere between $1.2 and $1.4

745
00:34:09,652 --> 00:34:11,933
million. We hope to be getting some

746
00:34:11,934 --> 00:34:13,934
funding for that. And

747
00:34:13,934 --> 00:34:16,523
I took a look with adding 3.

748
00:34:16,693 --> 00:34:19,336
And, um, we'd also like to

749
00:34:19,336 --> 00:34:21,336
put in for

750
00:34:21,336 --> 00:34:23,336
Butchard and Cleveland Street

751
00:34:23,649 --> 00:34:25,924
and do some paving there.

752
00:34:26,074 --> 00:34:28,074
So that funding has come up and

753
00:34:28,074 --> 00:34:30,553
we're getting about $300,000. We're looking to

754
00:34:30,553 --> 00:34:33,357
get $350,000 to $400,000 from OPWC.

755
00:34:33,357 --> 00:34:36,305
So those are the two projects we want to submit

756
00:34:36,305 --> 00:34:38,305
this year. And.

757
00:34:38,305 --> 00:34:40,305
We can do it, especially without having anything

758
00:34:40,305 --> 00:34:43,083
working out until the beginning of September.

759
00:34:46,227 --> 00:34:48,227
Motion to suspend the rules.

760
00:34:50,588 --> 00:34:52,588
All in favor? "Aye."

761
00:34:53,101 --> 00:34:54,588
Opposed?

762
00:34:56,819 --> 00:34:58,819
I make a motion to

763
00:34:58,819 --> 00:35:00,511
pass Ordinance

764
00:35:00,511 --> 00:35:02,511
22-021.

765
00:35:03,953 --> 00:35:05,953
Thank you all. "Seriously."

766
00:35:06,631 --> 00:35:08,631
24-0.

767
00:35:10,993 --> 00:35:12,406
Second.

768
00:35:12,693 --> 00:35:14,693
All in favor? "Aye."

769
00:35:14,693 --> 00:35:16,315
Opposed?

770
00:35:17,541 --> 00:35:20,269
Resolution 22-022

771
00:35:20,269 --> 00:35:22,575
Supporting West Creek Conservancy's

772
00:35:22,575 --> 00:35:24,575
Ohio Green Space

773
00:35:24,842 --> 00:35:26,927
Conservation Program

774
00:35:26,927 --> 00:35:28,927
grant application for the

775
00:35:28,927 --> 00:35:31,537
Grafton Woods Expansion project

776
00:35:31,537 --> 00:35:34,060
and declaring an emergency.

777
00:35:34,184 --> 00:35:36,782
The resolution was 24. I think there's a

778
00:35:36,177 --> 00:35:38,538
typo, it's 24-022.

779
00:35:44,350 --> 00:35:47,387
I've been working on it.

780
00:35:49,076 --> 00:35:51,076
I just keep a little bit out if this.

781
00:35:51,076 --> 00:35:53,068
I talked to Grove, red

782
00:35:53,076 --> 00:35:56,162
noted. The.

783
00:35:56,162 --> 00:35:58,162
This resolution was just

784
00:35:58,162 --> 00:36:00,528
like the draft they wanted to send over.

785
00:36:00,528 --> 00:36:02,528
And then many, many people asked me

786
00:36:02,528 --> 00:36:04,528
a couple questions about it. I've talked to

787
00:36:04,536 --> 00:36:06,528
him. He said

788
00:36:06,528 --> 00:36:08,528
that it would be, he would like

789
00:36:08,528 --> 00:36:10,528
to get the set of questions

790
00:36:10,528 --> 00:36:12,528
and get them answered and he would come to

791
00:36:12,528 --> 00:36:14,528
the next council meeting. So, I'd like to

792
00:36:14,528 --> 00:36:16,928
table this until our next council meeting.

793
00:36:20,083 --> 00:36:22,083
So we'll take it off the table.

794
00:36:22,083 --> 00:36:23,490
Second.

795
00:36:23,953 --> 00:36:25,953
All in favor? "Aye."

796
00:36:25,953 --> 00:36:27,677
Opposed?

797
00:36:30,110 --> 00:36:33,086
Resolution 24-023

798
00:36:33,262 --> 00:36:35,295
Accepting the resignation of village

799
00:36:35,295 --> 00:36:37,295
administrator Joe Price and approving

800
00:36:37,295 --> 00:36:39,472
separation compensation

801
00:36:39,472 --> 00:36:41,400
from the Village of Grafton

802
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,400
and declaring an emergency.

803
00:36:52,337 --> 00:36:54,886
I make a motion to suspend the rules.

804
00:36:56,556 --> 00:36:58,556
Second.

805
00:36:59,541 --> 00:37:01,541
All in favor? "Aye."

806
00:37:01,776 --> 00:37:03,776
Opposed? "Aye." Aye.

807
00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:12,463
Motion to pass Resolution number

808
00:37:12,463 --> 00:37:14,463
24-023.

809
00:37:15,879 --> 00:37:17,879
To pass it as an emergency, we have

810
00:37:17,879 --> 00:37:19,879
to suspend the rules.

811
00:37:19,879 --> 00:37:21,991
... "Three to two."

812
00:37:21,991 --> 00:37:24,606
Minus two. "That's just a reading."

813
00:37:26,850 --> 00:37:28,850
This is just the first reading, then.

814
00:37:28,850 --> 00:37:31,202
Crazy. ...

815
00:37:31,704 --> 00:37:34,162
I'd like to make an ...

816
00:37:35,759 --> 00:37:37,759
After reading the

817
00:37:38,385 --> 00:37:39,868
resolution

818
00:37:39,868 --> 00:37:41,868
for his

819
00:37:44,112 --> 00:37:46,112
resignation.

820
00:37:46,112 --> 00:37:48,855
I, I just

821
00:37:49,690 --> 00:37:51,690
can't buy these words.

822
00:37:51,690 --> 00:37:53,690
And I won't buy into it. I'm not

823
00:37:53,690 --> 00:37:55,690
going to lie for him.

824
00:37:57,132 --> 00:37:59,132
My thoughts are that

825
00:37:59,132 --> 00:38:01,132
Mr. Price holds this village

826
00:38:01,132 --> 00:38:03,132
as hostage.

827
00:38:03,132 --> 00:38:05,132
My feelings are, we should just

828
00:38:05,132 --> 00:38:07,132
terminate him.

829
00:38:07,132 --> 00:38:09,132
Flat out.

830
00:38:10,574 --> 00:38:12,574
And not consider his resignation.

831
00:38:15,809 --> 00:38:17,809
The wrong guy to be reading from this and I

832
00:38:17,809 --> 00:38:20,181
going to go ahead and read this resolution.

833
00:38:21,003 --> 00:38:23,003
Already read.

834
00:38:23,381 --> 00:38:26,270
No. He's only read it by the title.

835
00:38:26,270 --> 00:38:28,270
This is Resolution 21

836
00:38:28,270 --> 00:38:30,552
-023. The resolution accepts

837
00:38:30,552 --> 00:38:33,097
the resignation of village administrator

838
00:38:33,469 --> 00:38:35,574
Joe Price and approving separation

839
00:38:35,574 --> 00:38:37,574
compensation from the Village of Grafton

840
00:38:37,574 --> 00:38:39,574
and declaring an emergency.

841
00:38:39,704 --> 00:38:41,704
Whereas the village has been served

842
00:38:41,704 --> 00:38:44,493
litigation involving accusation of alleged

843
00:38:44,493 --> 00:38:47,077
actions of Joe Price and

844
00:38:47,077 --> 00:38:49,306
the village administrator by several

845
00:38:49,306 --> 00:38:51,561
current and former employees.

846
00:38:52,292 --> 00:38:54,685
Whereas the village investigation has

847
00:38:54,685 --> 00:38:57,215
revealed that Joe Price has committed

848
00:38:57,287 --> 00:38:59,640
no actionable misconduct

849
00:38:59,751 --> 00:39:01,751
and the claims by current and

850
00:39:01,751 --> 00:39:04,287
former village employees against him

851
00:39:04,287 --> 00:39:07,549
and the village lack legal merit.

852
00:39:09,049 --> 00:39:11,141
Whereas the village acknowledges

853
00:39:11,141 --> 00:39:13,141
Joe Price was employed by the village

854
00:39:13,141 --> 00:39:15,142
for nine years, served with

855
00:39:15,141 --> 00:39:17,141
the village with distinction.

856
00:39:17,141 --> 00:39:19,715
Performed his duties as village administrator

857
00:39:19,715 --> 00:39:23,017
in a proficient and professional manner.

858
00:39:23,917 --> 00:39:25,917
Whereas the village accepts the

859
00:39:25,917 --> 00:39:27,917
resignation of Joe price effective

860
00:39:27,917 --> 00:39:30,688
July 16th, 2024.

861
00:39:30,688 --> 00:39:33,298
Whereas the village agrees that Joe Price

862
00:39:33,748 --> 00:39:35,853
shall be compensated with four months

863
00:39:35,853 --> 00:39:38,756
of his regular pay as severance pay

864
00:39:38,756 --> 00:39:40,756
as well as his accumulated

865
00:39:40,756 --> 00:39:42,756
compensation in vacation time

866
00:39:43,265 --> 00:39:45,265
and compensation of $5,000

867
00:39:45,265 --> 00:39:47,265
dollars for attorney fees

868
00:39:47,363 --> 00:39:49,363
incurred to date, pertaining

869
00:39:49,363 --> 00:39:51,363
to the allegations against him.

870
00:39:51,976 --> 00:39:54,290
Whereas the village will pay these amounts

871
00:39:54,290 --> 00:39:56,290
to Joe Price as final settlement

872
00:39:56,290 --> 00:39:58,290
of any and all claims

873
00:39:58,290 --> 00:40:00,290
by Joe Price against the village and

874
00:40:00,290 --> 00:40:02,380
its employees and Joe Price will execute

875
00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:04,380
and release waiver of

876
00:40:04,380 --> 00:40:06,380
claims from commencement of employment

877
00:40:06,380 --> 00:40:08,380
until his final separation.

878
00:40:09,248 --> 00:40:11,248
Whereas the council of the Village of Grafton

879
00:40:11,248 --> 00:40:13,476
has determined it is necessary

880
00:40:13,476 --> 00:40:17,039
for the immediate preservation of public peace,

881
00:40:17,463 --> 00:40:19,463
health, safety of the Village

882
00:40:19,463 --> 00:40:21,463
of Grafton and its citizenry

883
00:40:21,463 --> 00:40:23,463
to accept the resignation of the

884
00:40:23,463 --> 00:40:25,744
village administrator and immediately

885
00:40:25,744 --> 00:40:28,064
hiring a new village administrator

886
00:40:28,064 --> 00:40:30,064
for the Village of Grafton.

887
00:40:30,423 --> 00:40:32,423
Now therefore be it resolved by the

888
00:40:32,423 --> 00:40:34,423
council of the Village of Grafton

889
00:40:34,423 --> 00:40:36,423
County of Lorain, State of Ohio, that

890
00:40:36,423 --> 00:40:38,423
we accept his resignation.

891
00:40:40,243 --> 00:40:42,243
I'm going to speak on this first.

892
00:40:42,243 --> 00:40:44,105
I don't have vote

893
00:40:44,105 --> 00:40:46,105
in any of this.

894
00:40:56,784 --> 00:40:58,784
I'm telling you right now. I don't

895
00:40:58,784 --> 00:41:00,588
have a vote in this.

896
00:41:00,588 --> 00:41:02,693
But I am not going to face

897
00:41:02,693 --> 00:41:04,693
the employees of this village

898
00:41:04,693 --> 00:41:06,686
and the people that filed any complaints

899
00:41:06,693 --> 00:41:09,563
without the investigations being done.

900
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,464
Accepting this where it says,

901
00:41:12,464 --> 00:41:14,641
we have found there is no wrong doing.

902
00:41:14,641 --> 00:41:16,785
I say again, I can't do that.

903
00:41:16,785 --> 00:41:19,204
So I'm not on council and I won't do it.

904
00:41:19,204 --> 00:41:20,856
I won't lie for anybody.

905
00:41:20,856 --> 00:41:23,907
I don't lie for myself. And I'm not going to do it.

906
00:41:24,214 --> 00:41:26,279
And we got a report handed in

907
00:41:26,279 --> 00:41:28,279
by our friend here, that said

908
00:41:28,279 --> 00:41:30,279
this was about the opposite.

909
00:41:30,762 --> 00:41:32,958
And Mr. Budway

910
00:41:32,958 --> 00:41:34,958
I'm not going to put you to the fire but

911
00:41:34,958 --> 00:41:36,958
I ain't agreeing with that.

912
00:41:36,958 --> 00:41:38,958
I won't do it. I don't have a vote

913
00:41:38,958 --> 00:41:40,841
on the council but you want to do.

914
00:41:40,841 --> 00:41:42,841
But out here you make a public statement

915
00:41:42,847 --> 00:41:44,847
that I don't agree with that.

916
00:41:53,888 --> 00:41:55,888
So the motion is on the floor.

917
00:41:55,888 --> 00:41:57,888
I made a motion to terminate him.

918
00:41:57,888 --> 00:41:59,888
I second.

919
00:42:00,260 --> 00:42:02,456
All in favor? "Aye." Aye.

920
00:42:02,456 --> 00:42:04,377
Opposed?

921
00:42:04,377 --> 00:42:06,377
Aye. "Aye."

922
00:42:06,756 --> 00:42:08,187
Bogus.

923
00:42:13,582 --> 00:42:15,693
Can I ask for a roll call vote?

924
00:42:15,693 --> 00:42:18,080
McCort. "Yes."

925
00:42:18,458 --> 00:42:21,204
Strah. "No." Kitts. "Yes."

926
00:42:21,204 --> 00:42:23,067
Sauer. "No."

927
00:42:23,067 --> 00:42:24,969
Dukles. "No."

928
00:42:24,969 --> 00:42:27,776
Come on. "That's ridiculous."

929
00:42:28,011 --> 00:42:30,846
We're saying it. Okay.

930
00:42:32,001 --> 00:42:34,452
So It has to go to a second and third reading.

931
00:42:35,150 --> 00:42:37,150
The problem with that.

932
00:42:37,150 --> 00:42:39,915
He needs to do the village a favor.

933
00:42:40,305 --> 00:42:41,915
Resign.

934
00:42:48,458 --> 00:42:50,726
We have certain reasons. "Says you." Got

935
00:42:50,726 --> 00:42:53,248
to get rid of the rest of the cancer in the village.

936
00:42:55,484 --> 00:42:57,081
Terrible.

937
00:42:57,081 --> 00:42:59,081
All right. Let's move on. So

938
00:42:59,081 --> 00:43:01,081
There's motions.

939
00:43:02,907 --> 00:43:05,327
We have a motion to accept the retirement

940
00:43:05,803 --> 00:43:07,986
of Special Projects Coordinator

941
00:43:07,986 --> 00:43:09,666
Linda Bales

942
00:43:09,666 --> 00:43:11,666
effective two days from now;

943
00:43:11,927 --> 00:43:14,202
July 18th, 2024.

944
00:43:15,096 --> 00:43:17,482
She's been here for 35 years.

945
00:43:25,042 --> 00:43:27,042
You're the ...

946
00:43:27,042 --> 00:43:29,856
Andrew Lipian and Cooper ...

947
00:43:29,856 --> 00:43:31,856
when she's gone.

948
00:43:35,814 --> 00:43:37,448
You're the one. Here's one.

949
00:43:37,448 --> 00:43:39,539
Linda, we thank you.

950
00:43:39,539 --> 00:43:42,733
It was worth every hour.

951
00:43:42,981 --> 00:43:44,981
I enjoyed working with everyone. And it

952
00:43:44,981 --> 00:43:47,177
really brought joy. Working for the residents

953
00:43:47,177 --> 00:43:49,177
for the village. And

954
00:43:49,177 --> 00:43:51,177
looking forward to my next chapter.

955
00:43:52,873 --> 00:43:54,994
Mr. Lipian. "I'd ilke to say to you,"

956
00:43:54,998 --> 00:43:56,998
it's been a real delight to be mentored

957
00:43:56,998 --> 00:43:58,873
by Linda in these last few weeks.

958
00:43:58,873 --> 00:44:01,240
And as a kid growing up in Grafton

959
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:03,240
and being able to reap the benefits of all the hard

960
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:05,240
work she did for the village. I'm really honored

961
00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:07,555
to be able to carry the torch she's passing. "It's"

962
00:44:07,555 --> 00:44:09,555
team effort. All a team effort. We worked well

963
00:44:09,555 --> 00:44:12,520
together. "Okay. Motion we don't let you retire."

964
00:44:21,022 --> 00:44:23,271
Though I hate to do this, I make a motion

965
00:44:23,271 --> 00:44:25,271
to accept your retirement.

966
00:44:25,271 --> 00:44:27,546
Thank you. "Second." Thank you.

967
00:44:27,546 --> 00:44:30,193
All in favor? "Aye." Opposed?

968
00:44:30,676 --> 00:44:33,016
Thank you, everyone. "I can't vote but I'll"

969
00:44:33,016 --> 00:44:35,016
oppose it.

970
00:44:35,812 --> 00:44:38,060
A motion to accept the resignation

971
00:44:38,060 --> 00:44:40,484
of volunteer firefighter, Charles Palmer

972
00:44:40,484 --> 00:44:43,677
effective 06/25/2024.

973
00:44:45,451 --> 00:44:47,568
So moved. "Second."

974
00:44:47,933 --> 00:44:49,933
All in favor? "Aye."

975
00:44:49,933 --> 00:44:51,397
Opposed?

976
00:44:53,015 --> 00:44:55,015
A motion to accept the retirement

977
00:44:55,015 --> 00:44:57,015
of Mark Kowlanowski, superintendent

978
00:44:57,015 --> 00:45:00,009
in the wastewater plant as of August

979
00:45:00,009 --> 00:45:02,533
7th, 2024.

980
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,291
So moved.

981
00:45:07,291 --> 00:45:08,565
Second.

982
00:45:08,565 --> 00:45:10,565
All in favor? "Aye."

983
00:45:10,565 --> 00:45:12,179
Opposed?

984
00:45:13,477 --> 00:45:15,569
Motion to promote Jacob Beal

985
00:45:15,569 --> 00:45:17,569
as Wastewater Treatment plant

986
00:45:17,569 --> 00:45:19,759
superintendent beginning on

987
00:45:19,759 --> 00:45:22,048
August 7th, 2024.

988
00:45:24,716 --> 00:45:26,801
So moved. "Second."

989
00:45:27,819 --> 00:45:29,819
All in favor? "Aye."

990
00:45:29,819 --> 00:45:31,570
Opposed?

991
00:45:32,607 --> 00:45:35,034
Motion to transfer Josh Nichols

992
00:45:35,034 --> 00:45:37,034
to the entry level position in

993
00:45:37,034 --> 00:45:39,034
the Wastewater Treatment plant

994
00:45:39,034 --> 00:45:41,204
starting 07/22,

995
00:45:41,543 --> 00:45:43,543
2024

996
00:45:43,543 --> 00:45:45,543
at $18.52 an hour.

997
00:45:47,735 --> 00:45:49,735
We're going to have to amend the wage

998
00:45:49,735 --> 00:45:51,735
ordinance and that

999
00:45:51,735 --> 00:45:53,735
will be on our next agenda.

1000
00:45:54,100 --> 00:45:56,100
He would actually be losing 50 cents

1001
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:58,100
an hour to pay his work.

1002
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:00,189
So we want to make it where he didn't

1003
00:46:00,202 --> 00:46:02,198
cut in pay.

1004
00:46:02,198 --> 00:46:04,198
But we need a motion to

1005
00:46:04,198 --> 00:46:06,198
transfer him for that and then

1006
00:46:06,198 --> 00:46:08,198
we'll work on the wage

1007
00:46:08,198 --> 00:46:10,198
ordinance this next meeting.

1008
00:46:10,198 --> 00:46:12,198
So moved. "Second."

1009
00:46:12,713 --> 00:46:14,713
All in favor? "Aye."

1010
00:46:14,713 --> 00:46:16,713
Opposed?

1011
00:46:17,659 --> 00:46:19,659
And we need a motion to begin the hiring

1012
00:46:19,659 --> 00:46:21,659
process for the Street department.

1013
00:46:22,722 --> 00:46:24,722
I talked to CJ and he's already got

1014
00:46:24,722 --> 00:46:26,957
two or three applicants.

1015
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,192
Two of them are our present

1016
00:46:29,192 --> 00:46:31,192
Summer help.

1017
00:46:31,499 --> 00:46:33,499
So we've got some good people

1018
00:46:33,499 --> 00:46:36,003
out there. He's going to start interviewing them.

1019
00:46:40,367 --> 00:46:42,093
So moved.

1020
00:46:42,688 --> 00:46:44,093
Second.

1021
00:46:44,713 --> 00:46:46,713
All in favor? "Aye."

1022
00:46:46,857 --> 00:46:48,476
Opposed?

1023
00:46:51,248 --> 00:46:54,038
Now, I'll turn it over to the public.

1024
00:46:55,081 --> 00:46:57,382
Let's keep it respectful tonight.

1025
00:47:04,577 --> 00:47:07,002
Not knowing Tim, this was all over the fireworks.

1026
00:47:07,002 --> 00:47:09,146
And I mean it was great

1027
00:47:09,146 --> 00:47:10,820
and the parade went awesome.

1028
00:47:10,820 --> 00:47:13,049
Yes, it was the biggest parade we've ever known.

1029
00:47:13,049 --> 00:47:15,592
Parade. Main Street Grafton

1030
00:47:15,592 --> 00:47:18,498
was very involved in that. They did a wonderful

1031
00:47:18,498 --> 00:47:20,925
job. Everybody that came out,

1032
00:47:20,925 --> 00:47:22,925
they had enthusiasm.

1033
00:47:22,925 --> 00:47:24,729
And it was

1034
00:47:24,729 --> 00:47:26,729
like Chief Clark said, it was almost a mile

1035
00:47:26,729 --> 00:47:28,252
and a half long.

1036
00:47:28,252 --> 00:47:30,324
I rode in the first car at the beginning.

1037
00:47:30,324 --> 00:47:32,321
And we finally pulled into the parking

1038
00:47:32,324 --> 00:47:33,884
lot the last one was leaving.

1039
00:47:33,884 --> 00:47:36,379
Yeah. And I ...

1040
00:47:41,865 --> 00:47:44,833
So, should to the public again, or? "I guess."

1041
00:47:50,442 --> 00:47:52,442
Anybody have anything?

1042
00:47:55,789 --> 00:47:57,417
I perhaps we need a motion.

1043
00:47:57,417 --> 00:47:59,299
Yeah, I think we forgot

1044
00:47:59,299 --> 00:48:01,299
pass that motion. "I have to say something"

1045
00:48:01,299 --> 00:48:03,640
before we go. I'd like everybody that's

1046
00:48:03,641 --> 00:48:05,640
now in this audience that today I found

1047
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,640
out that our ex-mayor Dave

1048
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,640
DiVencenzo and Dave

1049
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,797
or Joe Price and our

1050
00:48:11,797 --> 00:48:13,797
council president apparently

1051
00:48:13,797 --> 00:48:16,608
tried to have me arrested by a prosecutor.

1052
00:48:16,895 --> 00:48:18,895
I'm not sure on the whole

1053
00:48:18,895 --> 00:48:21,196
thing but it was basically to get

1054
00:48:21,196 --> 00:48:23,985
one of them back in on my seat.

1055
00:48:24,344 --> 00:48:26,344
So when I get the full

1056
00:48:26,344 --> 00:48:28,475
scale of it. It's just more stuff

1057
00:48:28,475 --> 00:48:30,475
they pulled. And I want you all to know.

1058
00:48:32,419 --> 00:48:34,714
That's a shame. "When I find the whole"

1059
00:48:34,714 --> 00:48:36,714
situation, you'll find out, too.

1060
00:48:36,714 --> 00:48:38,891
More corruption. "Yeah." "Stay on it"

1061
00:48:38,899 --> 00:48:40,891
for the taxpayer."

1062
00:48:40,891 --> 00:48:43,429
No more.

1063
00:48:43,429 --> 00:48:45,579
Yeah, I really think once we go into

1064
00:48:45,579 --> 00:48:47,743
executive session. I do

1065
00:48:47,743 --> 00:48:49,743
want to discuss to recommend nothing for that.

1066
00:48:55,575 --> 00:48:57,575
Executive while we were at it.

1067
00:49:01,678 --> 00:49:03,678
I second.

1068
00:49:06,027 --> 00:49:08,027
McCort. "Yes." Strah.

1069
00:49:08,027 --> 00:49:10,027
Yes. "Kits." Yes.

1070
00:49:10,027 --> 00:49:12,302
Sauer. "Yes." Dukles. "Yes."

1071
00:49:12,302 --> 00:49:14,302
...

1072
00:49:14,302 --> 00:49:16,302
