[0:02:50] Public comment - John Harris - consumers power crew messed up the road, when will it get fixed?

[0:07:00] Trustee Mead votes no on the check register. In an attempt to educate some of the trustees about how the purchasing policy goes, Supervisor Belle's deputy offers to consult with Trustee Mead one on one. Mead is of the impression that while the check register is for reoccurring purchases, bills and the such, he doesn't agree on using it for anything else?

[0:11:45] 47 West Alden was demolished, but there were some who inquired about another location on Bradford St. It was on the to-do list but was removed due to cost and will be revisited perhaps in another year or two.

[0:22:00] Supervisor Belles wanted to discuss the pay of John Bartlett, the temporary accountant filling in while the township is without a treasurer. Now he is being paid as a temp treasurer. Belle's advises that Trustee Mead should keep the packets from previous meetings so that he can go back to reference them instead of sending out FOIA requests for publicly available information provided in those packets.

[0:26:44] Clerks verbal report, some meetings regarding the Nov election are underway.

[0:28:35] Treasurer report, Supervisor Belle's comments that John stepping in as treasurer and bringing processes up to current world practices has already proven beneficial compared to how the office was run in the recent past.

[0:34:35] Action Item, voting on resolution T23-04 authorizing another bank account signer. Allowing budget items to be signed off on in the absence of a Treasurer. Trustee Mead, Trustee Brown and  Clerk Myers all vote no, so the motion does not get passed.

[0:40:20]  First reading of the ordinance regarding kennels. If you have more than 3 pets, you would need to get a kennel license. This is just to establish a guideline for when officers have to deal with individuals who have more than 3 pets

[0:49:03] Public Comments - Joe Harris

Friend of Trustee Mead, says he's a good listener. Remarks that anybody can get a FOIA request regarding anything

sept 9th, 2021 Tonight's board meeting was quite the doozy, here is a rough summary of what was discussed that might apply to those interested. -Public comments regarding noise being made by construction on certain roads, as well as Zaharion automotive having an excess of cars on their lot that have just been sitting there? Both issues are being addressed. -Deb proposed a wage study to make sure our public servants are being paid appropriately in the event that some ppl are making more (or less) than their position would reckon. Tracy, Rachelle, Dick Brown and Jim Mead were all against it, citing a misuse of taxpayers dollars, but it doesn't use taxpayer money and instead is money awarded by the state to be used freely. -Sewer rates are going up because the state wants to make greater strides towards being ecofriendly. -This was the final zoom meeting, all meetings from now on will be in person (though there was a suggestion to do them via facebook live?) -Summer ta...

 September 8th 2022 Another meeting dragged out due to elected members failing to understand the cost of things or how townships operate. We enter the scene with Dick Brown complaining about the cost of construction on the front of the office, the removal of the awnings and how he, or the other trustees, had no say in the voting/approval of the process (as the cost was under $5k, which is the threshold for it being an action item on the monthly agenda). I don't believe Dick has any knowledge or understanding in regards to construction or the pricing thereof, but a lot of these items are simply things that can't or shouldn't wait for a once a month board meeting to be voted on (by individuals with no background knowledge regarding these subjects) before they can start working on them. There was also the complaint regarding the $195/mo ad spending paid for by the supervisor out of her budget, which is being done on a monthly trial basis and will end within the next few months...
