‭Catch‬‭basins‬‭and‬‭flushing‬‭and‬‭jetting‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭Where‬‭do‬‭we‬‭sit‬‭on‬‭AFR?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭It‬‭was‬‭in‬‭for‬‭certification‬‭3‬‭times,‬‭when‬‭it's‬‭completed‬‭it‬‭goes‬‭in‬‭for‬ ‭certification,‬‭the‬‭comptroller‬‭reviews‬‭it.‬‭They‬‭sent‬‭it‬‭back‬‭and‬‭we‬‭fix‬‭these‬‭few‬‭things.‬‭I‬ ‭think‬‭was‬‭3‬‭or‬‭4‬‭the‬‭first‬‭time.‬‭We‬‭did.‬‭Recertified‬‭it.‬‭They‬‭sent‬‭it‬‭back‬‭with‬‭like‬‭7‬‭things.‬ ‭We‬‭just‬‭sent‬‭it‬‭back‬‭today‬‭for‬‭recertification.‬‭They're‬‭just‬‭asking‬‭questions‬‭about‬‭things‬ ‭we're‬‭submitting,‬‭the‬‭financial‬‭information.‬‭We‬‭have‬‭assistance‬‭from‬‭RBT‬‭and‬‭they're‬ ‭saying‬‭we‬‭want‬‭more‬‭clarification‬‭on‬‭whatever‬‭it‬‭was‬‭they‬‭pulled‬‭out.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭wanted‬‭to‬‭ask‬‭about‬‭the‬‭report,‬‭we‬‭get‬‭held‬‭up‬‭and‬‭we‬‭can't‬ ‭go‬‭on‬‭to‬‭the‬‭next‬‭one‬‭until‬‭this‬‭one‬‭is‬‭finished?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭That's‬‭correct.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Do‬‭we‬‭have‬‭any‬‭idea‬‭of‬‭when‬‭we’re‬‭going‬‭to‬‭be‬‭able‬‭to‬‭put‬ ‭the‬‭next‬‭one‬‭in?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭No.‬‭They‬‭don’t‬‭open‬‭up‬‭the‬‭portal‬‭until‬‭this‬‭one‬‭is‬‭finalized.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thomspon:‬‭We‬‭don’t‬‭know‬‭the‬‭time‬‭frame‬‭is?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭No.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭They‬‭can‬‭take‬‭as‬‭long‬‭as‬‭they‬‭want?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes,‬‭usually‬‭they‬‭have‬‭gotten‬‭back‬‭to‬‭us‬‭within‬‭2‬‭or‬‭3‬‭days‬‭every‬‭time,‬‭so‬‭it‬‭has‬ ‭been‬‭pretty‬‭good.‬‭We‬‭have‬‭phone‬‭numbers‬‭to‬‭call‬‭people‬‭that‬‭we‬‭need‬‭to,‬‭if‬‭we‬‭need‬‭to.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Is‬‭that‬‭our‬‭top‬‭priority‬‭in‬‭the‬‭office‬‭right‬‭now?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬‭I‬‭emphasized‬‭that‬‭again‬‭yesterday.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Are‬‭you‬‭confident‬‭we're‬‭going‬‭to‬‭make‬‭our‬‭deadline?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I'm‬‭not‬‭confident.‬‭I'm‬‭hopeful.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭What‬‭other‬‭action‬‭can‬‭we‬‭take?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭We're‬‭doing‬‭as‬‭much‬‭as‬‭we‬‭can‬‭for‬‭2023‬‭to‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭it's‬‭on‬‭time.‬‭We're‬‭doing‬ ‭whatever‬‭we‬‭can‬‭for‬‭2024‬‭info‬‭to‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭it's‬‭ready‬‭as‬‭soon‬‭as‬‭the‬‭portal‬‭opens.‬‭That's‬‭all‬‭we‬‭can‬ ‭really‬‭do‬‭right‬‭now.‬ ‭2‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭We‬‭have‬‭all‬‭hands‬‭on‬‭deck?‬‭Everybody's‬‭working.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Everybody‬‭that's‬‭here‬‭is.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭And‬‭everybody‬‭that's‬‭not‬‭here,‬‭they‬‭have‬‭excused‬‭absences?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Community‬‭Council‬‭set‬‭up‬‭flower‬‭pots‬‭the‬‭Main‬‭Street,‬‭somebody‬‭or‬ ‭something‬‭tipped‬‭1‬‭over‬‭by‬‭the‬‭VFW.‬‭I‬‭just‬‭wanted‬‭to‬‭say‬‭thank‬‭you‬‭to‬‭the‬‭Parking‬‭Patrol‬‭Officer,‬ ‭he‬‭noticed‬‭it,‬‭he‬‭put‬‭it‬‭all‬‭back‬‭together‬‭and‬‭he‬‭cleaned‬‭it‬‭up.‬‭I‬‭do‬‭not‬‭know‬‭who‬‭the‬‭gentleman‬‭is,‬ ‭but‬‭if‬‭you‬‭could‬‭convey‬‭to‬‭him‬‭thank‬‭you,‬‭because‬‭those‬‭were‬‭really‬‭expensive‬‭pots‬‭and‬‭to‬‭have‬‭that‬ ‭happen‬‭so‬‭soon‬‭in‬‭the‬‭season‬‭was‬‭a‬‭little‬‭disheartening.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭will,‬‭thank‬‭you.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭didn't‬‭see‬‭anything‬‭in‬‭the‬‭report,‬‭how‬‭it's‬‭going‬‭looking‬‭for‬‭an‬ ‭assertiveness‬‭training‬‭program.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭can‬‭talk‬‭to‬‭you‬‭about‬‭that‬‭in‬‭exec.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭had‬‭an‬‭e-mail‬‭from‬‭a‬‭resident,‬‭asking‬‭about‬‭our‬‭welcome‬‭packets.‬‭I‬ ‭sent‬‭it‬‭on‬‭to‬‭Marisa,‬‭but‬‭I‬‭just‬‭would‬‭like‬‭you‬‭to‬‭be‬‭aware‬‭of‬‭that‬‭people‬‭in‬‭the‬‭community‬‭don't‬ ‭know‬‭that‬‭they‬‭can‬‭get‬‭those.‬‭We‬‭don't‬‭really‬‭do‬‭a‬‭newsletter‬‭anymore.‬‭We‬‭have‬‭to‬‭go‬‭on‬‭our‬ ‭website.‬‭Is‬‭there‬‭a‬‭reason‬‭why,‬‭real‬‭estate‬‭agents‬‭when‬‭they‬‭do‬‭closings‬‭in‬‭the‬‭village,‬‭is‬‭there‬‭some‬ ‭way‬‭we‬‭can‬‭put‬‭that‬‭in‬‭the‬‭packet‬‭with‬‭them?‬‭So‬‭our‬‭new‬‭residents‬‭would‬‭get.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭we‬‭should‬‭explore‬‭that‬‭because‬‭people‬‭have‬‭been‬‭asking.‬‭They‬ ‭don't‬‭know‬‭where‬‭anything‬‭is,‬‭what‬‭we‬‭have‬‭to‬‭offer‬‭in‬‭the‬‭village.‬‭Someone‬‭asked‬‭me‬‭about‬ ‭religions.‬‭Which‬‭I‬‭was‬‭able‬‭to‬‭answer‬‭that.‬‭If‬‭anything,‬‭we're‬‭very‬‭diverse‬‭with‬‭our‬‭religions.‬‭My‬ ‭only‬‭other‬‭question,‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭see‬‭anything‬‭in‬‭the‬‭report‬‭about‬‭the‬‭letter‬‭that‬‭we‬‭asked‬‭to‬‭be‬‭drafted‬‭to‬ ‭the‬‭Town‬‭of‬‭Montgomery‬‭about‬‭the‬‭change‬‭in‬‭the‬‭zoning‬‭that‬‭they're‬‭implementing‬‭with‬‭our‬‭wells.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭We’re‬‭working‬‭on‬‭it.‬‭Haven't‬‭completed‬‭it,‬‭yet.‬‭I‬‭was‬‭trying‬‭to‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭that‬‭I‬ ‭had‬‭the‬‭right‬‭parcels‬‭and‬‭proper‬‭information.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Fair‬‭enough.‬‭My‬‭question‬‭that‬‭I'm‬‭going‬‭to‬‭ask‬‭every‬‭meeting,‬‭have‬‭we‬ ‭heard‬‭anything‬‭about‬‭the‬‭crosswalk‬‭in‬‭front‬‭of‬‭the‬‭post‬‭office?‬‭Have‬‭we‬‭heard‬‭anything‬‭about‬‭the‬ ‭municipal‬‭parking‬‭sign?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭No.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Are‬‭we‬‭following‬‭up‬‭on‬‭that?‬‭Do‬‭you‬‭need‬‭people‬‭on‬‭the‬‭board‬‭to‬ ‭follow‬‭up‬‭on‬‭that?‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭I‬‭sent‬‭a‬‭couple‬‭of‬‭emails.‬‭I‬‭did‬‭not‬‭receive‬‭responses,‬‭yet.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Cheryl‬‭'s‬‭been‬‭pretty‬‭adamant‬‭and‬‭is‬‭advocating‬‭for‬‭those‬‭things.‬‭It’s‬‭been‬ ‭helpful.‬ ‭3‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Shall‬‭we‬‭tag‬‭team?‬‭You‬‭and‬‭me?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yeah,‬‭that's‬‭great.‬‭Yes.‬‭We‬‭should‬‭try‬‭to‬‭schedule‬‭a‬‭time‬‭to‬‭stop‬‭in‬‭to‬‭meet‬‭with‬ ‭that‬‭person.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Works‬‭for‬‭me.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭1‬‭question,‬‭on‬‭the‬‭water‬‭meter‬‭side,‬‭they’re‬‭coming‬‭along.‬‭Just‬‭see‬‭we‬‭did‬‭16‬‭in‬ ‭this‬‭period.‬‭This‬‭doesn't‬‭seem‬‭like‬‭many‬‭for‬‭a‬‭couple‬‭of‬‭weeks.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭No.‬‭They're‬‭still‬‭flushing.‬‭They’ll‬‭finish‬‭flushing‬‭this‬‭month,‬‭they're‬‭down‬‭a‬‭guy‬ ‭so‬‭it's‬‭a‬‭little‬‭bit‬‭slower,‬‭but‬‭they're‬‭on‬‭them‬‭pretty‬‭consistently‬‭and‬‭it's‬‭really‬‭about‬‭scheduling‬‭with‬ ‭the‬‭homeowners.‬‭They‬‭had‬‭some‬‭power‬‭outages‬‭with‬‭the‬‭stations.‬‭Tree‬‭came‬‭down.‬‭They're‬‭pretty‬ ‭busy.‬ ‭Approval‬‭of‬‭Minutes‬‭–‬‭May‬‭20,‬‭2025‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk‬‭made‬‭a‬‭motion‬‭to‬‭approve‬‭the‬‭May‬‭20,‬‭2025.‬‭Seconded‬‭by‬‭Trustee‬‭Baker.‬‭4‬‭ayes.‬‭1‬ ‭abstention‬‭(Trustee‬‭Taylor).‬‭Motion‬‭carried.‬ ‭Public‬‭Comment‬ ‭None‬ ‭Park‬‭Use‬‭Request‬‭–‬‭Alcohol‬‭Waiver‬‭-‬‭Jurgens‬ ‭Trustee‬ ‭Mishk‬ ‭made‬ ‭a‬ ‭motion‬ ‭to‬‭approve‬‭park‬‭use‬‭request‬‭–‬‭alcohol‬‭waiver.‬‭Seconded‬‭by‬‭Deputy‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Thompson.‬‭All‬‭ayes.‬‭Motion‬‭carried.‬ ‭52‬‭Walker‬‭St‬ ‭Tabled‬ ‭Overlook‬‭Terrace‬‭Discussion‬‭-‬‭Sidewalk‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭sent‬‭you‬‭all‬‭the‬‭pictures‬‭that‬‭I‬‭received‬‭from‬‭the‬‭homeowner‬‭that‬‭has‬‭a‬‭sidewalk‬ ‭to‬‭nowhere.‬‭It‬‭basically‬‭goes‬‭through‬‭driveway,‬‭to‬‭somebody‬‭else's‬‭piece‬‭of‬‭property‬‭and‬‭then‬‭it‬ ‭ends.‬‭There‬‭is‬‭no‬‭driveway,‬‭nothing‬‭connecting‬‭it.‬‭Would‬‭you‬‭guys‬‭like‬‭to‬‭do‬‭a‬‭site‬‭visit‬‭and‬‭see‬ ‭what‬‭it‬‭looks‬‭like?‬‭Or‬‭are‬‭you‬‭comfortable‬‭talking‬‭about‬‭it‬‭without‬‭a‬‭site‬‭visit?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭You‬‭want‬‭to‬‭set‬‭up‬‭a‬‭Town‬‭Hall‬‭for‬‭up‬‭there‬‭and‬‭meet‬‭the‬‭residents?‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭We‬‭can‬‭do‬‭that.‬ ‭Deputy‬ ‭Mayor‬ ‭Thompson‬ ‭made‬ ‭a‬ ‭motion‬ ‭to‬ ‭hold‬ ‭a‬ ‭Town‬ ‭Hall‬ ‭at‬‭Overlook‬‭Terrace‬‭on‬‭Thursday,‬ ‭June‬‭19,‬‭2025‬‭at‬‭6:30pm.‬‭Seconded‬‭by‬‭Trustee‬‭Baker.‬‭All‬‭ayes.‬‭Motion‬‭carried.‬ ‭Review‬‭of‬‭Fee‬‭Schedules‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭This‬‭is‬‭really‬‭about‬‭the‬‭scout‬‭cabin.‬‭Because‬‭it‬‭did‬‭not‬‭have‬‭anything‬‭when‬‭I‬‭read‬ ‭it‬‭in‬‭the‬‭notes.‬‭So,‬‭I‬‭thought‬‭we‬‭put‬‭that‬‭on‬‭so‬‭we‬‭have‬‭a‬‭fee‬‭for‬‭the‬‭scout‬‭cabin.‬‭We‬‭don't‬‭really‬ ‭have‬‭any‬‭tables‬‭and‬‭chairs‬‭over‬‭there‬‭at‬‭all?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭They‬‭set‬‭the‬‭tables‬‭and‬‭chairs.‬‭There’s‬‭some‬‭there.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Okay,‬‭so‬‭we‬‭don’t‬‭have‬‭to‬‭transfer‬‭them‬‭from‬‭another‬‭place.‬ ‭4‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Depends‬‭on‬‭what‬‭activity‬‭happens‬‭there.‬‭There’s‬‭some‬‭there‬‭but‬‭if‬‭they‬‭need‬ ‭more,‬‭bring‬‭more.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭What's‬‭the‬‭occupancy‬‭of‬‭the‬‭scout‬‭cabin?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭That‬‭would‬‭be‬‭a‬‭Building‬‭Inspector‬‭question,‬‭I’m‬‭not‬‭sure.‬ ‭Building‬‭Inspector‬‭Wallner:‬‭I‬‭will‬‭look‬‭into‬‭it.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭50-60‬‭people‬‭easily.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭was‬‭going‬‭to‬‭guess‬‭50.‬‭Small‬‭space.‬‭But‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know‬‭what‬‭the‬‭law‬ ‭says.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭We‬‭got‬‭an‬‭e-mail‬‭back,‬‭John‬‭you‬‭said‬‭it‬‭was‬‭like…‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭The‬‭Wooster‬‭Grove‬‭gym.‬‭$50‬‭an‬‭hour,‬‭same‬‭with‬‭the‬‭gym‬‭price.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭have‬‭a‬‭problem‬‭with‬‭$50‬‭an‬‭hour.‬‭That's‬‭coming‬‭from‬‭our‬‭director,‬‭so‬‭I‬ ‭think‬‭that‬‭we‬‭could‬‭start‬‭out‬‭with‬‭that.‬‭If‬‭we‬‭feel‬‭that‬‭needs‬‭to‬‭change‬‭at‬‭some‬‭point,‬‭it‬‭can‬‭be‬ ‭changed.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I'm‬‭okay‬‭with‬‭that.‬‭It's‬‭a‬‭nice‬‭facility.‬‭It's‬‭all‬‭brand‬‭new.‬‭That's‬‭a‬ ‭beautiful‬‭kitchen.‬‭There's‬‭outdoor‬‭space.‬‭If‬‭people‬‭rent‬‭that‬‭they're‬‭getting‬‭a‬‭very‬‭nice‬‭venue.‬‭I‬‭don’t‬ ‭think‬‭that‬‭fee‬‭is‬‭unreasonable.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭Just‬‭want‬‭to‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭whatever‬‭fee‬‭that‬‭we‬‭establish,‬‭you‬‭mentioned‬‭in‬‭case‬‭you‬ ‭wanted‬‭to‬‭be‬‭changed,‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭think‬‭you‬‭want‬‭to‬‭get‬‭into‬‭that‬‭arena‬‭if‬‭you‬‭run‬‭it‬‭today‬‭for‬‭$50‬‭an‬ ‭hour‬‭and‬‭then‬‭all‬‭of‬‭a‬‭sudden‬‭you‬‭change‬‭it‬‭and‬‭it's‬‭going‬‭north.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭No,‬‭I‬‭didn't‬‭mean‬‭in‬‭the‬‭year.‬‭I‬‭meant‬‭like‬‭next‬‭year‬‭when‬‭we‬‭do‬‭fee‬‭schedules‬ ‭again.‬‭See‬‭if‬‭it‬‭had‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭activity‬‭and‬‭just‬‭review‬‭it‬‭again‬‭next‬‭year.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson‬‭made‬‭a‬‭motion‬‭to‬‭accept‬‭fee‬‭schedule‬‭for‬‭$50‬‭an‬‭hour‬‭for‬‭the‬‭scout‬‭cabin.‬ ‭Seconded‬‭by‬‭Trustee‬‭Taylor.‬‭All‬‭ayes.‬‭Motion‬‭carried.‬ ‭SRO‬‭–‬‭Contract‬‭Review‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭this‬‭is‬‭a‬‭little‬‭outrageous.‬‭*inaudible*‬‭the‬‭law‬‭enforcement‬‭to‬‭protect‬ ‭the‬‭students‬‭at‬‭the‬‭school‬‭as‬‭well‬‭as‬‭the‬‭other‬‭civilians‬‭at‬‭the‬‭school.‬‭The‬‭Police‬‭Department‬‭should‬ ‭be‬‭making‬‭some‬‭of‬‭the‬‭calls‬‭for‬‭those‬‭and‬‭not‬‭the‬‭school‬‭itself.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭this‬‭contract‬‭is‬‭completely‬ ‭limiting‬‭the‬‭scope‬‭of‬‭Police‬‭Officer.‬‭If‬‭this‬‭was‬‭a‬‭security‬‭guard,‬‭I'd‬‭agree‬‭with‬‭this‬‭100%,‬‭but‬‭these‬ ‭are‬‭trained‬‭Police‬‭Officers,‬‭certified‬‭Police‬‭Officers‬‭who‬‭are‬‭gonna‬‭run‬‭towards‬‭the‬‭danger‬‭they're‬ ‭not‬‭away‬‭from‬‭it.‬‭They‬‭should‬‭not‬‭be‬‭held‬‭to‬‭some‬‭of‬‭the‬‭standards‬‭in‬‭this‬‭contract.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭The‬‭first‬‭time‬‭we‬‭had‬‭it‬‭was‬‭that‬‭the‬‭Police‬‭Department‬‭had‬‭full‬‭discretion‬‭on‬‭that‬ ‭and‬‭then‬‭the‬‭next‬‭year‬‭it‬‭changed.‬‭I‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭said‬‭why‬‭is‬‭it‬‭changing?‬‭It's‬‭still‬‭our‬‭Police‬‭Department‬ ‭we’re‬‭paying‬‭to‬‭be‬‭there.‬‭You're‬‭paying‬‭them‬‭to‬‭be‬‭there.‬‭It‬‭did‬‭get‬‭changed‬‭to‬‭that‬‭but‬‭I'm‬ ‭agreeance‬‭with‬‭you.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭we‬‭should‬‭go‬‭back‬‭to‬‭the‬‭first‬‭contract.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭I'm‬‭also‬‭not‬‭sure‬‭exactly‬‭what‬‭they’re‬‭referring‬‭to‬‭on‬‭data‬‭inspection‬‭and‬ ‭challenges‬‭to‬‭data.‬‭What‬‭type‬‭of‬‭data‬‭are‬‭they‬‭referring‬‭to?‬ ‭5‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭This‬‭is‬‭an‬‭addendum‬‭of‬‭the‬‭agreement‬‭#2.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭was‬‭looking‬‭at‬‭this‬‭too‬‭and‬‭there‬‭are‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭things‬‭that‬‭they‬‭do‬‭extra,‬‭like‬ ‭investigation‬‭and‬‭this‬‭and‬‭that‬‭and‬‭who's‬‭paying‬‭for‬‭that?‬‭Their‬‭officers‬‭are‬‭going‬‭to‬‭have‬‭to‬‭work,‬ ‭not‬‭just‬‭when‬‭they're‬‭in‬‭the‬‭school.‬‭Who‬‭pays‬‭for‬‭that‬‭time‬‭for‬‭them‬‭to‬‭be‬‭doing‬‭investigations‬‭and‬ ‭if‬‭something‬‭does‬‭happen‬‭in‬‭the‬‭school?‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭Any‬‭investigations‬‭should‬‭be‬‭handled‬‭by‬‭the‬‭Police‬‭Department,‬‭but‬‭it‬‭might‬‭not‬ ‭necessarily‬‭be‬‭the‬‭SRO.‬‭If‬‭there's‬‭a‬‭crime‬‭committed,‬‭SRO‬‭should‬‭still‬‭do‬‭his‬‭job‬‭and‬‭then‬ ‭somebody‬‭else‬‭in‬‭the‬‭Police‬‭Department,‬‭whether‬‭it‬‭be‬‭our‬‭investigator‬‭going‬‭there‬‭and‬‭do‬‭the‬ ‭investigations.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭They‬‭would‬‭hand‬‭it‬‭off‬‭to‬‭another‬‭officer.‬‭You’re‬‭right,‬‭that's‬‭what‬‭it‬‭should‬‭be.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭Just‬‭for‬‭the‬‭consistency‬‭alone‬‭because‬‭there‬‭may‬‭be‬‭a‬‭different‬‭SRO‬‭each‬‭day.‬‭And‬ ‭especially‬‭as‬‭a‬‭part‬‭time,‬‭what‬‭are‬‭you‬‭going‬‭to‬‭do,‬‭investigate‬‭once‬‭a‬‭week?‬‭It's‬‭a‬‭serious‬‭crime,‬‭I‬ ‭think‬‭that's‬‭the‬‭department‬‭should‬‭be‬‭doing‬‭that.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭some‬‭of‬‭those‬‭things‬‭should‬‭be‬‭listed‬‭in‬ ‭there‬‭and‬‭most‬‭of‬‭my‬‭opinion‬‭is‬‭based‬‭on‬‭experience‬‭with‬‭that.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Page‬‭4‬‭#10,‬‭*read‬‭into‬‭minutes*‬‭where‬‭does‬‭that‬‭money‬‭come‬‭into‬‭play.‬‭How‬ ‭does‬‭that‬‭work?‬‭*read‬‭#14‬‭into‬‭minutes*‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭On‬‭10,‬‭that‬‭Trustee‬‭Mishk‬‭is‬‭talking‬‭about,‬‭if‬‭there's‬‭an‬‭issue‬‭and‬‭they‬‭need‬ ‭additional‬‭Police‬‭Officers,‬‭they‬‭just‬‭want‬‭to‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭the‬‭SRO‬‭is‬‭the‬‭bridge‬‭to‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭they‬‭get‬ ‭those‬‭additional‬‭officers‬‭to‬‭do‬‭whatever‬‭that‬‭investigation‬‭is.‬‭Which‬‭would‬‭be‬‭normal‬‭even‬‭if‬‭we‬ ‭didn't‬‭have‬‭an‬‭SRO.‬‭If‬‭there's‬‭a‬‭call‬‭for‬‭service‬‭at‬‭the‬‭school‬‭that's‬‭how‬‭we‬‭can‬‭get‬‭help.‬‭That's‬‭my‬ ‭interpretation.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭it‬‭might‬‭be‬‭helpful‬‭to‬‭think‬‭about‬‭this‬‭as‬‭the‬‭fact‬‭that‬‭what‬‭the‬‭school‬ ‭district‬‭would‬‭be‬‭compensating‬‭the‬‭village‬‭for‬‭would‬‭be‬‭the‬‭presence‬‭of‬‭that‬‭particular‬‭officer‬‭there‬ ‭during‬‭those‬‭times‬‭that‬‭you're‬‭there.‬‭As‬‭John‬‭had‬‭mentioned‬‭if‬‭there‬‭was‬‭no‬‭agreement,‬‭and‬‭there‬ ‭was‬‭a‬‭call,‬‭obviously‬‭the‬‭officers‬‭will‬‭respond‬‭to‬‭that‬‭call.‬‭If‬‭there‬‭was‬‭an‬‭investigation,‬‭they‬‭would‬ ‭conduct‬‭that‬‭investigation‬‭whether‬‭it’s‬‭in‬‭the‬‭school‬‭or‬‭having‬‭to‬‭do‬‭with‬‭the‬‭local‬‭pizza‬‭place.‬‭It‬ ‭would‬‭not‬‭necessarily‬‭be‬‭compensation‬‭associated‬‭with‬‭that,‬‭but‬‭I‬‭think‬‭in‬‭this‬‭case‬‭the‬‭purpose‬‭of‬ ‭the‬‭agreement‬‭and‬‭I‬‭agree‬‭with‬‭Jerry,‬‭with‬‭your‬‭comments‬‭regarding‬‭the‬‭scope‬‭of‬‭the‬‭interaction‬ ‭between‬‭the‬‭authority‬‭of‬‭the‬‭school‬‭district‬‭over‬‭the‬‭officer,‬‭my‬‭preference‬‭would‬‭be‬‭and‬‭the‬ ‭agreement‬‭will‬‭be‬‭rewritten‬‭to‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭that‬‭the‬‭police‬‭remain‬‭independent‬‭and‬‭have‬‭their‬‭own‬ ‭jurisdiction‬‭at‬‭all‬‭times.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭it's‬‭perhaps‬‭a‬‭mismatch‬‭to‬‭think‬‭of‬‭the‬‭fact‬‭that‬‭you're‬‭compensating‬ ‭for‬‭the‬‭village‬‭for‬‭the‬‭presence‬‭of‬‭the‬‭officer‬‭there.‬‭If‬‭there‬‭was‬‭a‬‭call,‬‭it‬‭wasn't‬‭an‬‭officer‬‭there,‬‭but‬ ‭there‬‭was‬‭a‬‭call,‬‭because‬‭there‬‭was‬‭an‬‭incident‬‭that‬‭needed‬‭to‬‭be‬‭investigated‬‭or‬‭criminal‬‭charges‬ ‭needing‬‭to‬‭be‬‭brought.‬‭There‬‭would‬‭be‬‭no‬‭compensation‬‭for‬‭that.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Yes,‬‭but‬‭somewhere‬‭in‬‭here‬‭it‬‭said‬‭that‬‭they‬‭don't‬‭necessarily‬‭have‬‭to‬‭use‬‭the‬ ‭department‬‭that's‬‭here.‬‭It‬‭could‬‭be‬‭they‬‭have‬‭been‬‭choosing‬‭who‬‭they‬‭want‬‭to‬‭use.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭I‬‭didn't‬‭focus‬‭on‬‭that,‬‭but‬‭what‬‭I‬‭was‬‭concerned‬‭with‬‭was‬‭the‬‭amount‬‭of‬ ‭discretion‬‭that‬‭when‬‭you‬‭get‬‭into‬‭the‬‭school‬‭district,‬‭over‬‭investigations‬‭that‬‭should‬‭be‬‭independent‬ ‭conducted‬‭by‬‭the‬‭Police‬‭Department‬‭and‬‭ultimately‬‭calling‬‭the‬‭Police‬‭Chief‬‭and‬‭chain‬‭of‬‭command.‬ ‭Which‬‭would‬‭happen‬‭regardless.‬‭*inaudible*‬‭change‬‭the‬‭balance‬‭of‬‭that.‬‭I‬‭also‬‭didn't‬‭like‬‭the‬‭fact‬ ‭that‬‭payment‬‭would‬‭be‬‭made‬‭once‬‭the‬‭village‬‭was‬‭sending‬‭the‬‭invoice.‬‭Unless‬‭the‬‭charge‬‭is‬‭going‬‭to‬ ‭6‬ ‭change‬‭on‬‭a‬‭monthly‬‭basis,‬‭it's‬‭just‬‭straight‬‭fee‬‭that‬‭is‬‭being‬‭paid.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭the‬‭school‬‭district‬‭should,‬ ‭like‬‭I‬‭know‬‭I‬‭need‬‭to‬‭pay‬‭my‬‭father's‬‭rent‬‭every‬‭month.‬‭I‬‭don’t‬‭need‬‭the‬‭landlord‬‭telling‬‭me‬‭need‬‭to‬ ‭pay‬‭the‬‭rent.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭It‬‭just‬‭seems‬‭like‬‭a‬‭cumbersome‬‭waste‬‭of‬‭time.‬‭The‬‭village,‬‭our‬‭finance‬ ‭office‬‭is‬‭busy‬‭enough.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭I‬‭provided‬‭some‬‭comments‬‭to‬‭John‬‭and‬‭if‬‭the‬‭board‬‭has‬‭additional‬‭comments‬ ‭that‬‭you’d‬‭like‬‭to‬‭provide‬‭back‬‭to‬‭the‬‭school‬‭district,‬‭that‬‭would‬‭probably‬‭be‬‭the‬‭next‬‭step.‬‭Doesn't‬ ‭sound‬‭like‬‭the‬‭agreement‬‭in‬‭its‬‭current‬‭form‬‭is‬‭acceptable‬‭to‬‭the‬‭board.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭Is‬‭this‬‭this‬‭contract‬‭prepared‬‭by‬‭the‬‭school?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭Do‬‭we‬‭have‬‭last‬‭years?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭I'd‬‭like‬‭to,‬‭if‬‭it's‬‭alright,‬‭to‬‭look‬‭at‬‭both‬‭to‬‭compare.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Of‬‭course.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Page‬‭4,‬‭#16,‬‭about‬‭transporting‬‭people.‬‭It‬‭says‬‭nearest‬‭emergency‬‭facility.‬‭Why‬ ‭would‬‭we‬‭be‬‭doing‬‭emergency?‬‭Why‬‭wouldn't‬‭we‬‭call‬‭the‬‭ambulance‬‭for‬‭that?‬‭Why‬‭would‬‭we‬‭be‬ ‭taking‬‭people‬‭in‬‭emergency‬‭situations?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭For‬‭example,‬‭your‬‭SRO‬‭is‬‭watching‬‭the‬‭playground‬‭and‬‭the‬‭kid‬‭gets‬‭stung‬‭by‬‭a‬ ‭bee,‬‭there's‬‭no‬‭EpiPen‬‭for‬‭some‬‭reason.‬‭It's‬‭an‬‭emergency‬‭and‬‭the‬‭ambulance‬‭is‬‭15‬‭minutes‬‭out.‬ ‭We're‬‭not‬‭waiting.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭If‬‭they‬‭don't‬‭like‬‭the‬‭SRO‬‭officer‬‭they‬‭can‬‭get‬‭to‬‭pick‬‭another‬‭1.‬‭Why‬‭would‬‭they‬ ‭be‬‭able‬‭to‬‭do‬‭that?‬‭If‬‭they‬‭don't‬‭like‬‭them‬‭and‬‭they‬‭want‬‭somebody‬‭new,‬‭then‬‭we‬‭have‬‭to‬‭supply‬ ‭somebody‬‭new.‬‭We‬‭hire‬‭these‬‭people‬‭as‬‭an‬‭employee.‬‭Can‬‭we‬‭just‬‭get‬‭rid‬‭of‬‭them‬‭at‬‭anytime‬‭if‬‭the‬ ‭school‬‭doesn't‬‭like‬‭them?‬‭We‬‭can‬‭hire‬‭somebody‬‭new?‬‭How‬‭does‬‭that‬‭work?‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭You‬‭would‬‭think‬‭the‬‭only‬‭way‬‭they‬‭could‬‭do‬‭that‬‭is‬‭if‬‭the‬‭SRO‬‭acted‬‭where‬‭they‬ ‭felt‬‭he‬‭was‬‭outside‬‭his‬‭scope‬‭of‬‭employment.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭agree‬‭with‬‭that.‬‭Doesn't‬‭say‬‭that‬‭though.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭The‬‭same‬‭thing‬‭in‬‭paragraph‬‭16,‬‭if‬‭you‬‭read‬‭the‬‭whole‬‭paragraph,‬‭they‬‭give‬‭you‬‭a‬ ‭way‬‭out‬‭opposite‬‭of‬‭what‬‭they‬‭said‬‭in‬‭the‬‭first‬‭sentence.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭But‬‭if‬‭they‬‭didn’t‬‭like‬‭the‬‭officer‬‭assigned‬‭to‬‭them,‬‭why‬‭couldn't‬‭we‬ ‭just‬‭provide‬‭another‬‭officer‬‭with‬‭our‬‭Police‬‭Department?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭We‬‭can.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭We‬‭send‬‭a‬‭sergeant.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭know‬‭but‬‭you‬‭just‬‭said‬‭they‬‭could‬‭go‬‭to‬‭a‬‭different‬‭agency.‬ ‭7‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭There's‬‭a‬‭section‬‭in‬‭here‬‭that‬‭says‬‭that‬‭if‬‭the‬‭village‬‭can't‬‭man‬‭the‬‭job,‬‭then‬‭they‬‭can‬ ‭contact‬‭the‬‭Town‬‭of‬‭Montgomery‬‭and‬‭ask‬‭them‬‭for‬‭an‬‭SRO.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Why‬‭are‬‭you‬‭going‬‭through‬‭September.‬‭School‬‭doesn't‬‭start‬‭till‬‭the‬‭4‭t‬h‬ ‭and‬‭it‬‭ends‬ ‭on‬‭the‬‭26‬‭th‬‭,‬‭so‬‭why‬‭are‬‭we‬‭paying‬‭from‬‭the‬‭first?‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭understand.‬‭SRO’s‬‭doesn’t‬‭have‬‭to‬‭be‬‭there‬ ‭for‬‭the‬‭conferences,‬‭do‬‭they?‬‭For‬‭the‬‭teachers?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬‭They‬‭request‬‭them‬‭there‬‭for‬‭that‬‭period.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭what‬‭the‬‭request‬‭is.‬‭They're‬ ‭requesting‬‭for‬‭SRO‬‭officer‬‭to‬‭be‬‭there‬‭for‬‭those‬‭time‬‭periods.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭Did‬‭the‬‭previous‬‭one‬‭indicate‬‭that‬‭as‬‭well?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭remember‬‭if‬‭it‬‭said‬‭that‬‭in‬‭the‬‭contract,‬‭but‬‭they‬‭did‬‭ask‬‭for‬‭us‬‭to‬‭go‬ ‭there.‬‭Certain‬‭events‬‭as‬‭well.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭Page‬‭4,‬‭paragraph‬‭15,‬‭*read‬‭into‬‭minutes*‬‭how's‬‭the‬‭district‬‭gonna‬‭determine‬ ‭whether‬‭criminal‬‭charges‬‭are‬‭going‬‭to‬‭be‬‭brought‬‭or‬‭not?‬‭and‬‭nothing‬‭should‬‭be‬‭disposed‬‭of‬‭because‬ ‭it‬‭is‬‭evidence.‬‭It‬‭should‬‭not‬‭be‬‭by‬‭district‬‭policy‬‭and‬‭if‬‭it’s‬‭an‬‭illegal‬‭substance‬‭or‬‭weapon,‬‭probably‬ ‭going‬‭to‬‭be‬‭charges‬‭of‬‭some‬‭kind.‬‭That‬‭shouldn't‬‭be‬‭for‬‭the‬‭district‬‭to‬‭decide‬‭or‬‭how‬‭to‬‭dispose.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭was‬‭Jerry’s‬‭point‬‭that‬‭the‬‭police‬‭should‬‭be‬‭to‬‭lead,‬‭if‬‭there's‬ ‭anything‬‭untoward‬‭going‬‭on‬‭with‬‭any‬‭type‬‭of‬‭criminal‬‭implication‬‭and‬‭I‬‭agree‬‭with‬‭that.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭agree‬‭as‬‭well.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭Going‬‭back‬‭to‬‭#10,‬‭they're‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭indicating‬‭here‬‭that‬‭if‬‭additional‬‭police‬‭are‬ ‭required,‬‭they‬‭want‬‭the‬‭SRO‬‭to‬‭be‬‭the‬‭mediator.‬‭If‬‭there's‬‭been‬‭a‬‭situation‬‭and‬‭the‬‭police‬‭are‬ ‭responding‬‭to‬‭that,‬‭do‬‭we‬‭really‬‭need‬‭somebody‬‭to‬‭be‬‭the‬‭moderator‬‭between‬‭the‬‭parties‬‭here?‬‭It‬ ‭becomes‬‭a‬‭police‬‭matter‬‭at‬‭that‬‭point.‬‭Does‬‭it‬‭not?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Absolutely.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭should‬‭be‬‭worded‬‭a‬‭little‬‭bit‬‭differently,‬‭that‬‭bottom‬‭line‬‭the‬‭police‬‭is‬ ‭only‬‭going‬‭to‬‭respond‬‭if‬‭the‬‭SRO‬‭tells‬‭them‬‭hey,‬‭we‬‭need‬‭some‬‭help‬‭here.‬‭They're‬‭in‬‭charge‬‭at‬‭that‬ ‭point.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭Right.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭paragraph‬‭should‬‭be‬‭deleted.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭I‬‭agree‬‭with‬‭that.‬‭I‬‭don’t‬‭see‬‭a‬‭need‬‭for‬‭a‬‭moderator.‬‭If‬‭there’s‬‭an‬‭issue‬‭that‬‭requires‬ ‭the‬‭police‬‭to‬‭be‬‭there,‬‭they’re‬‭running‬‭the‬‭show.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭That's‬‭right‬‭and‬‭whoever‬‭is‬‭senior‬‭on‬‭the‬‭scene‬‭will‬‭be‬‭coordinating‬‭with‬‭the‬ ‭school‬‭district.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭need‬‭to‬‭ask‬‭a‬‭question‬‭on‬‭page‬‭15,‬‭at‬‭the‬‭bottom.‬‭Commercial‬‭general‬‭liability‬ ‭insurance,‬‭says‬‭1,000,000‬‭per‬‭occurrence‬‭and‬‭then‬‭2,000,000‬‭and‬‭then‬‭on‬‭the‬‭next‬‭page,‬‭letter‬‭b,‬‭is‬‭it‬ ‭different‬‭insurance?‬‭Because‬‭there‬‭they‬‭have‬‭2,000,000‬‭for‬‭both.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭They're‬‭saying‬‭that‬‭it's‬‭not‬‭a‬‭commercial‬‭liability‬‭policy,‬‭it's‬‭a‬‭separate‬ ‭enforcement‬‭policy‬‭that’s‬‭up‬‭to‬‭2,000,000‬‭at‬‭least.‬‭We‬‭have‬‭commercial‬‭liability‬‭I‬‭think‬‭10,000,000.‬ ‭8‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭I‬‭really‬‭think‬‭that‬‭we‬‭should‬‭table‬‭this‬‭until‬‭we‬‭have‬‭a‬‭chance‬‭to‬‭compare‬‭previous‬ ‭contracts‬‭and‬‭also‬‭come‬‭back‬‭with‬‭our‬‭proposal.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭I‬‭would‬‭really‬‭like‬‭to‬‭hear‬‭from‬‭the‬‭new‬‭chief.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭Going‬‭back‬‭to‬‭paragraph‬‭16‬‭where‬‭it‬‭talks‬‭about‬‭transporting,‬‭what's‬‭the‬‭liability‬ ‭and‬‭who‬‭determines‬‭that‬‭it‬‭was‬‭an‬‭emergency‬‭condition‬‭that‬‭required‬‭police‬‭to‬‭transport?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭This‬‭SRO‬‭determines‬‭that.‬‭Same‬‭as‬‭any‬‭other‬‭call‬‭for‬‭service.‬‭It's‬‭a‬‭call‬‭for‬ ‭service‬‭that‬‭required‬‭emergency‬‭transport.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Also‬‭there's‬‭no‬‭amounts‬‭in‬‭her.‬‭Who‬‭decides‬‭what‬‭the‬‭amount‬‭would‬‭be?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭We‬‭have‬‭to‬‭talk‬‭about‬‭it.‬‭That's‬‭what‬‭we're‬‭working‬‭on‬‭setting‬‭up‬‭with‬‭chief‬‭and‬ ‭the‬‭treasurer.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭That's‬‭next‬‭meeting‬‭as‬‭well.‬ ‭Code‬‭Review‬‭-‬‭Discussion‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Going‬‭to‬‭look‬‭at‬‭ethics‬‭and‬‭talk‬‭about‬‭how‬‭you‬‭felt‬‭about‬‭the‬‭public‬‭being‬‭partly‬ ‭involved.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭I‬‭like‬‭it‬‭the‬‭way‬‭it‬‭is‬‭right‬‭now.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭the‬‭public‬‭can‬‭come‬‭out‬‭and‬‭just‬‭be,‬‭the‬ ‭department‬‭does‬‭something‬‭that‬‭they‬‭don't‬‭like‬‭and‬‭all‬‭of‬‭a‬‭sudden‬‭it's‬‭unethical.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭the‬‭public‬‭has‬‭a‬‭venue‬‭for‬‭that‬‭outside‬‭of‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board.‬‭They‬‭can‬ ‭file‬‭complaints‬‭at‬‭the‬‭DA's‬‭office‬‭or‬‭attorney‬‭general's‬‭office,‬‭other‬‭agencies.‬‭The‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭is‬ ‭for‬‭internal‬‭policing‬‭and‬‭questions.‬‭For‬‭us‬‭to‬‭ask‬‭is‬‭this‬‭okay‬‭or‬‭not‬‭really…‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭was‬‭in‬‭one‬‭of‬‭those‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭thing.‬‭It‬‭should‬‭not‬‭have‬‭happened‬‭but‬‭it‬‭did‬ ‭and‬‭it‬‭was‬‭form‬‭someone‬‭from‬‭the‬‭public.‬‭It‬‭didn’t‬‭go‬‭anywhere,‬‭but‬‭it‬‭was‬‭probably‬‭because‬‭they‬ ‭didn't‬‭like‬‭me.‬‭From‬‭experience,‬‭just‬‭telling‬‭you‬‭like‬‭it‬‭is.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭I‬‭understand‬‭that,‬‭but‬‭I‬‭also‬‭have‬‭a‬‭different‬‭take‬‭on‬‭it.‬‭They‬‭may‬‭inherent‬‭distrust.‬‭I‬ ‭don't‬‭see‬‭a‬‭reason‬‭why‬‭they‬‭shouldn't‬‭be‬‭allowed‬‭to‬‭fill‬‭out‬‭the‬‭form‬‭and‬‭hand‬‭it‬‭to‬‭the‬‭clerk.‬‭A‬ ‭person‬‭does‬‭have‬‭a‬‭right‬‭to‬‭make‬‭a‬‭complaint.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭foresee‬‭a‬‭huge‬‭avalanche.‬‭Are‬‭you‬‭going‬‭get‬ ‭some‬‭spiteful‬‭people?‬‭Yeah,‬‭but‬‭that‬‭you‬‭get‬‭that,‬‭unfortunately.‬‭Do‬‭I‬‭foresee‬‭a‬‭huge‬‭avalanche,‬‭no.‬ ‭*inaudible*‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭to‬‭vote‬‭if‬‭it‬‭has‬‭any‬‭merit‬‭or‬‭not.‬‭If‬‭they‬‭don't‬‭find‬‭that‬‭it‬‭has‬‭merit,‬‭it‬ ‭doesn't‬‭mean‬‭that‬‭has‬‭to‬‭be‬‭pursued.‬‭*inaudible*‬‭you‬‭might‬‭remember‬‭when‬‭I‬‭first‬‭ran,‬‭someone‬‭put‬ ‭an‬‭ethics‬‭complaint‬‭against‬‭me,‬‭that‬‭was‬‭someone‬‭from‬‭the‬‭public.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭it's‬‭a‬‭legitimate‬‭process‬ ‭that‬‭someone‬‭in‬‭the‬‭public‬‭should‬‭be‬‭allowed‬‭to‬‭do.‬‭They‬‭may‬‭for‬‭whatever‬‭reason‬‭not‬‭trust‬‭village‬ ‭officials‬‭because‬‭they‬‭think‬‭there’s‬‭nepotism‬‭or‬‭a‬‭slight‬‭towards‬‭them.‬‭They‬‭should‬‭be‬‭able‬‭to‬‭go‬ ‭there‬‭and‬‭get‬‭it‬‭stamped.‬‭It’s‬‭their‬‭own‬‭foolish‬‭part‬‭if‬‭they‬‭don’t‬‭get‬‭it‬‭stamped.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭I'm‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭thinking‬‭along‬‭the‬‭same‬‭way.‬‭If‬‭the‬‭Police‬‭Department‬‭had‬‭a‬‭complaint‬ ‭about‬‭one‬‭of‬‭their‬‭officers,‬‭they‬‭would‬‭investigate‬‭it‬‭and‬‭if‬‭it‬‭was‬‭unfounded,‬‭they‬‭*inaudible*‬‭well‬ ‭not‬‭every‬‭civilian‬‭that‬‭may‬‭see‬‭something‬‭that's‬‭an‬‭ethics‬‭violation‬‭and‬‭I'm‬‭not‬‭talking‬‭about‬‭the‬ ‭violation‬‭of‬‭law.‬‭About‬‭ethics‬‭violation.‬‭They‬‭see‬‭that‬‭and‬‭they‬‭may‬‭not‬‭feel‬‭comfortable‬‭coming‬‭to‬ ‭somebody‬‭that's‬‭part‬‭of‬‭the‬‭management‬‭of‬‭the‬‭village‬‭because‬‭of‬‭maybe‬‭they‬‭see‬‭a‬‭friendship.‬‭I‬ ‭think‬‭the‬‭job‬‭of‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭is‬‭to‬‭hear‬‭you‬‭out‬‭and‬‭investigate‬‭whether‬‭it's‬‭found‬‭or‬‭unfound.‬ ‭I'm‬‭not‬‭talking‬‭about‬‭putting‬‭somebody‬‭into‬‭jail,‬‭we're‬‭just‬‭talking‬‭about‬‭finding‬‭out‬‭there's‬‭a‬ ‭violation‬‭here‬‭and‬‭then‬‭passing‬‭it‬‭on‬‭to,‬‭which‬‭would‬‭be‬‭the‬‭Village‬‭Manager‬‭next,‬‭right?‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭No,‬‭comes‬‭to‬‭the‬‭board.‬ ‭9‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭It‬‭depends‬‭on‬‭who‬‭it‬‭is.‬‭Depends‬‭on‬‭the‬‭employee,‬‭too.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭Again,‬‭it‬‭might‬‭not‬‭ever‬‭get‬‭to‬‭that‬‭point,‬‭if‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭does‬‭their‬‭job.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know,‬‭because‬‭I‬‭do‬‭believe‬‭everybody‬‭should‬‭have‬‭a‬‭voice‬‭and‬ ‭if‬‭they're‬‭really‬‭unhappy‬‭about‬‭something‬‭and‬‭you‬‭do‬‭question‬‭legitimacy‬‭of‬‭the‬‭behavior.‬‭That‬ ‭should‬‭be‬‭addressed.‬‭But‬‭I‬‭could‬‭see‬‭it‬‭snowballing‬‭and‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭may‬‭be‬‭misused.‬‭That‬ ‭would‬‭be‬‭my‬‭concern‬‭about‬‭it.‬‭You‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭people‬‭with‬‭trivial‬‭little‬‭issue‬‭that‬‭they‬‭perceive‬‭as‬ ‭something‬‭unjust‬‭or‬‭unfair‬‭or‬‭questionable‬‭behavior.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭there‬‭has‬‭to‬‭be‬‭a‬‭standard‬‭of‬‭when‬‭it‬ ‭goes‬‭to‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know‬‭how‬‭you‬‭would‬‭differentiate‬‭that‬‭if‬‭every‬‭village‬‭resident‬‭felt‬ ‭that‬‭something‬‭shady‬‭was‬‭going‬‭on‬‭or‬‭they‬‭were‬‭questioning‬‭somebody's‬‭behavioral‬‭or‬‭moral‬ ‭character.‬‭How‬‭do‬‭you‬‭differentiate‬‭what‬‭actually‬‭belongs‬‭in‬‭front‬‭of‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board?‬‭Are‬‭you‬ ‭going‬‭to‬‭convene‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭for‬‭everything?‬‭That's‬‭my‬‭concern.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭to‬‭see‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬ ‭Board‬‭misused.‬‭I‬‭want‬‭to‬‭see‬‭it‬‭utilized‬‭properly.‬‭We‬‭already‬‭field‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭issues‬‭from‬‭village‬ ‭residents.‬‭I‬‭can't‬‭go‬‭to‬‭Hannaford’s‬‭without‬‭somebody‬‭approaching‬‭me‬‭wanting‬‭to‬‭question‬ ‭something‬‭or‬‭complain‬‭about‬‭something‬‭and‬‭you‬‭talk‬‭to‬‭them.‬‭Sometimes‬‭you‬‭tell‬‭them‬‭to‬‭call‬‭the‬ ‭manager.‬‭Sometimes‬‭you‬‭tell‬‭them‬‭to‬‭call‬‭the‬‭Department‬‭Head.‬‭Sometimes‬‭you‬‭just‬‭say‬‭to‬‭them‬‭let‬ ‭me‬‭look‬‭into‬‭that‬‭for‬‭you.‬‭You‬‭think‬‭that‬‭we're‬‭not‬‭enough‬‭for‬‭the‬‭sounding‬‭board‬‭for‬‭the‬‭village‬ ‭residents?‬‭Sometimes‬‭we‬‭are‬‭able‬‭to‬‭say‬‭to‬‭them,‬‭it‬‭really‬‭doesn't‬‭seem‬‭to‬‭rise‬‭to‬‭the‬‭level‬‭of‬‭where‬ ‭it‬‭should‬‭be‬‭going‬‭for‬‭an‬‭ethics‬‭review.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭to‬‭see‬‭the‬‭process‬‭getting‬‭misused.‬‭That's‬‭my‬ ‭concern.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭I'm‬‭not‬‭referring‬‭to‬‭everything‬‭that‬‭we‬‭get‬‭the‬‭complaints.‬‭If‬‭we‬‭get‬‭the‬‭complaints‬ ‭first‬‭hand‬‭and‬‭we‬‭have‬‭a‬‭chance‬‭to‬‭look‬‭into‬‭them,‬‭that's‬‭great.‬‭We‬‭can‬‭usually‬‭alleviate‬‭the‬‭problem‬ ‭and‬‭address‬‭it‬‭as‬‭deserved,‬‭but‬‭I'm‬‭talking‬‭about‬‭the‬‭issues‬‭that‬‭people‬‭are‬‭afraid‬‭to‬‭come‬‭to‬‭the‬ ‭board‬‭or‬‭to‬‭the‬‭management‬‭of‬‭the‬‭village.‬‭At‬‭least‬‭they‬‭have‬‭a‬‭place‬‭to‬‭go.‬‭And‬‭if‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬ ‭thinks‬‭that‬‭there‬‭is‬‭validation‬‭in‬‭their‬‭complaint,‬‭they‬‭can‬‭forward‬‭it‬‭to‬‭the‬‭board‬‭and‬‭the‬ ‭management.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭Has‬‭the‬‭village‬‭ever‬‭had‬‭it‬‭where‬‭it‬‭was‬‭the‬‭public‬‭was‬‭able‬‭to‬‭make‬‭ethics‬ ‭complaints?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭The‬‭Village‬‭Board‬‭changed‬‭that.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭When‬‭it‬‭was‬‭prior,‬‭did‬‭the‬‭board‬‭get‬‭slammed‬‭with‬‭an‬‭avalanche‬‭of‬‭public‬ ‭complaints?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭don’t‬‭know.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭it‬‭wasn't‬‭utilized‬‭at‬‭all.‬‭That's‬‭why,‬‭what's‬‭the‬‭point?‬ ‭They‬‭have‬‭other‬‭venues‬‭to‬‭use‬‭and‬‭that's‬‭why‬‭the‬‭change‬‭happened‬‭last‬‭time.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭When‬‭did‬‭it‬‭get‬‭changed?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭2006,‬‭I’m‬‭checking‬‭different‬‭parts‬‭*referring‬‭to‬‭the‬‭code*‬‭2013‬‭was‬‭the‬‭last‬ ‭change‬‭that‬‭I‬‭see.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Do‬‭you‬‭recall‬‭was‬‭there‬‭a‬‭specific‬‭incident?‬‭I'm‬‭just‬‭curious‬‭as‬‭to‬‭what‬ ‭the‬‭rationale‬‭was‬‭for‬‭wanting‬‭to‬‭change‬‭it.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Can‬‭go‬‭back‬‭and‬‭read‬‭the‬‭minutes.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Local‬‭law‬‭9‬‭in‬‭2013.‬ ‭10‬ ‭Trustee‬ ‭Taylor:‬ ‭I‬ ‭don't‬‭want‬‭to‬‭be‬‭a‬‭stick‬‭in‬‭the‬‭mud‬‭here,‬‭but‬‭I‬‭think‬‭there's‬‭a‬‭distinct‬‭difference‬ ‭between‬‭an‬‭ethical‬‭issue‬‭and‬‭a‬‭complaint‬‭and‬‭a‬‭concern.‬‭I'm‬‭of‬‭the‬‭opinion‬‭and‬‭as‬‭I‬‭sit‬‭here‬‭on‬‭this‬ ‭dais,‬ ‭if‬ ‭we‬ ‭have‬ ‭not‬ ‭established‬ ‭the‬ ‭level‬ ‭of‬ ‭trust,‬ ‭as‬ ‭representatives‬‭of‬‭this‬‭village,‬‭then‬‭we‬‭have‬ ‭failed‬ ‭in‬ ‭that‬ ‭responsibility.‬‭There‬‭are‬‭ways‬‭that‬‭you‬‭can‬‭do‬‭that.‬‭You‬‭do‬‭that‬‭by‬‭getting‬‭out‬‭about‬ ‭communicating‬ ‭with‬ ‭the‬ ‭residents‬ ‭and‬ ‭regardless‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭issue‬ ‭or‬ ‭the‬ ‭concern‬ ‭at‬ ‭that‬ ‭particular‬ ‭moment‬ ‭in‬ ‭time,‬ ‭it's‬ ‭the‬ ‭most‬ ‭important‬ ‭thing‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭world‬ ‭to‬ ‭that‬ ‭individual‬ ‭and‬ ‭it‬‭is‬‭incumbent‬ ‭upon‬ ‭us‬‭to‬‭look‬‭at‬‭it‬‭and‬‭if‬‭we‬‭don't‬‭have‬‭an‬‭answer,‬‭it's‬‭incumbent‬‭upon‬‭us‬‭to‬‭let‬‭them‬‭know‬‭that‬ ‭we‬‭will‬‭check‬‭into‬‭it‬‭and‬‭move‬‭it‬‭along.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭there's‬‭a‬‭distinct‬‭difference‬‭between‬‭committing‬‭an‬ ‭ethical‬ ‭violation,‬ ‭if‬ ‭you‬ ‭will‬ ‭and‬ ‭having‬ ‭a‬ ‭complaint‬ ‭department‬ ‭and‬ ‭if‬ ‭there's‬ ‭an‬ ‭uncomfortable‬ ‭level‬ ‭out‬ ‭there,‬ ‭that's‬ ‭a‬ ‭failure‬ ‭on‬ ‭our‬ ‭part.‬ ‭I‬ ‭consider‬ ‭it‬ ‭a‬ ‭failure‬ ‭on‬ ‭my‬ ‭part‬ ‭if‬ ‭somebody‬ ‭can’t‬ ‭approach‬‭me‬‭because‬‭they‬‭have‬‭hesitation.‬‭I‬‭said‬‭in‬‭the‬‭beginning‬‭when‬‭I‬‭ran‬‭for‬‭office‬‭that‬‭I've‬‭got‬ ‭roughly‬‭7000‬‭employers‬‭in‬‭this‬‭village.‬‭I‬‭work‬‭for‬‭them.‬‭I‬‭don’t‬‭work‬‭for‬‭the‬‭manager.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭work‬ ‭for‬‭anybody‬‭on‬‭this‬‭board.‬‭And‬‭that's‬‭the‬‭way‬‭I've‬‭conducted‬‭business‬‭in‬‭the‬‭last‬‭14‬‭months.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭That's‬‭absolutely‬‭correct‬‭and‬‭what‬‭you're‬‭striking‬‭at‬‭is‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭at‬‭the‬‭heart‬‭of‬‭it‬ ‭in‬‭the‬‭options‬‭that‬‭the‬‭Village‬‭Board‬‭has,‬‭at‬‭this‬‭point.‬‭As‬‭it’s‬‭currently‬‭written,‬‭this‬‭board‬‭has‬‭to‬ ‭refer‬‭complaints‬‭that‬‭you‬‭received‬‭to‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭if‬‭you‬‭deem‬‭them‬‭worthy‬‭of‬‭sending‬‭over,‬ ‭meritorious‬‭and‬‭it's‬‭something‬‭that‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭should‬‭look‬‭into.‬‭That's‬‭how‬‭the‬‭code‬‭is‬ ‭currently.‬‭If‬‭you‬‭want‬‭to‬‭change‬‭it,‬‭you‬‭would‬‭have‬‭to‬‭change‬‭it‬‭by‬‭local‬‭law‬‭to‬‭amend‬‭the‬‭ethics‬ ‭code‬‭to‬‭allow‬‭people‬‭to‬‭make‬‭their‬‭complaints‬‭directly‬‭to‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board,‬‭which‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬ ‭will‬‭have‬‭to‬‭take,‬‭there‬‭will‬‭be‬‭no‬‭buffer.‬‭It's‬‭done‬‭both‬‭ways.‬‭It's‬‭really‬‭a‬‭preference‬‭of‬‭what‬‭the‬ ‭overall‬‭board‬‭wants‬‭to‬‭do.‬‭Whether‬‭or‬‭not‬‭you‬‭want‬‭to‬‭receive‬‭and‬‭know‬‭of‬‭complaints‬‭and‬‭then‬ ‭refer‬‭them‬‭as‬‭you‬‭deem‬‭fit‬‭to‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭or‬‭whether‬‭or‬‭not‬‭people‬‭have‬‭the‬‭opportunity‬‭to‬‭go‬ ‭directly‬‭to‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board.‬‭It's‬‭a‬‭question‬‭of‬‭how‬‭you‬‭want‬‭to‬‭proceed.‬‭I‬‭don’t‬‭disagree‬‭with‬‭you.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭have‬‭met‬‭with‬‭the‬‭Ethics‬‭Board‬‭the‬‭other‬‭night.‬‭Gave‬‭them‬‭information‬‭on‬‭what‬ ‭ethics‬‭means.‬‭I‬‭gave‬‭them‬‭a‬‭copy‬‭of‬‭our‬‭ethics‬‭law.‬‭I‬‭did‬‭ask‬‭them‬‭to‬‭think‬‭about‬‭that‬‭comment‬‭that‬ ‭we‬‭were‬‭just‬‭discussing‬‭about‬‭public‬‭versus‬‭non‬‭public.‬‭I‬‭haven't‬‭heard‬‭back‬‭from‬‭anyone.‬‭Asked‬ ‭them‬‭to‬‭get‬‭back‬‭to‬‭me‬‭just‬‭because‬‭they‬‭will‬‭be‬‭dealing‬‭with‬‭people.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭maybe‬‭if‬‭you‬‭don't‬‭care‬ ‭about‬‭what‬‭they‬‭have‬‭to‬‭say‬‭that's‬‭fine.‬‭If‬‭you‬‭want‬‭me‬‭to‬‭reach‬‭back‬‭out‬‭to‬‭them‬‭and‬‭see‬‭how‬‭they‬ ‭feel‬‭about‬‭it.‬‭That's‬‭up‬‭to‬‭you‬‭guys.‬‭Maybe‬‭that‬‭shouldn’t‬‭be‬‭something‬‭that‬‭we‬‭do.‬‭I’m‬‭just‬‭putting‬ ‭it‬‭out‬‭there.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭You're‬‭probably‬‭right‬‭and‬‭you‬‭probably‬‭should‬‭see‬‭if‬‭they’re‬‭willing‬‭to‬‭and‬‭if‬‭they‬ ‭want‬‭to‬‭change‬‭because‬‭if‬‭they’re‬‭not‬‭willing‬‭to‬‭go‬‭through,‬‭they‬‭may‬‭decide‬‭to‬‭resign‬‭if‬‭they‬‭get‬ ‭too‬‭much‬‭work‬‭put‬‭on‬‭them.‬‭Or‬‭they‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭to‬‭address‬‭those‬‭issues.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭left‬‭them‬‭with‬‭papers‬‭to‬‭read,‬‭understand‬‭it,‬‭go‬‭over‬‭it‬‭with‬‭each‬‭other,‬‭talk‬‭about‬ ‭it.‬‭There‬‭was‬‭one‬‭person‬‭missing.‬‭Did‬‭he‬‭pick‬‭up‬‭his‬‭papers?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Going‬‭to‬‭try‬‭to‬‭reach‬‭out‬‭to‬‭them‬‭all,‬‭if‬‭you‬‭want‬‭me‬‭to‬‭do‬‭that.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭I'm‬‭fine‬‭with‬‭that‬‭to‬‭get‬‭their‬‭opinion.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Let‬‭me‬‭do‬‭that.‬‭I’ll‬‭just‬‭carry‬‭that‬‭over‬‭to‬‭not‬‭the‬‭next‬‭meeting,‬‭but‬‭the‬‭meeting‬ ‭after.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Regardless‬‭of‬‭what‬‭they‬‭tell‬‭you,‬‭the‬‭decision‬‭still‬‭falls‬‭to‬‭us.‬ ‭11‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Correct.‬‭I'm‬‭going‬‭to‬‭have‬‭them‬‭e-mail‬‭me‬‭with‬‭how‬‭they‬‭feel.‬‭I'll‬‭send‬‭it‬‭to‬‭you‬ ‭all‬‭of‬‭what‬‭they‬‭said,‬‭so‬‭you'll‬‭have‬‭everything.‬‭I‬‭share‬‭everything‬‭with‬‭you‬‭guys.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭As‬‭I‬‭mentioned,‬‭if‬‭the‬‭board‬‭wants‬‭to‬‭change‬‭this,‬‭then‬‭you‬‭would‬‭have‬‭to‬ ‭introduce‬‭the‬‭local‬‭law‬‭and‬‭would‬‭be‬‭subject‬‭to‬‭a‬‭public‬‭hearing.‬‭So,‬‭you’ll‬‭hear‬‭from‬‭the‬‭public‬ ‭about‬‭it‬‭as‬‭well.‬‭And‬‭then‬‭you‬‭make‬‭your‬‭decision.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭to‬‭move‬‭forward,‬‭would‬‭be‬ ‭discussion‬‭at‬‭the‬‭July‬‭meeting.‬‭If‬‭there’s‬‭direction‬‭from‬‭the‬‭board‬‭at‬‭that‬‭time,‬‭we‬‭could‬‭then‬ ‭prepare‬‭amendment‬‭for‬‭you‬‭start‬‭considering‬‭at‬‭your‬‭August‬‭meeting.‬ ‭*Reviewed‬‭Code‬‭Chapters‬‭66‬‭with‬‭no‬‭comments*‬ ‭Chapter‬‭67-1‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭A‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭people‬‭listed‬‭that‬‭are‬‭no‬‭longer‬‭with‬‭us.‬‭You‬‭want‬‭them‬‭in‬‭there?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭No.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭If‬‭I‬‭missed‬‭it‬‭please‬‭tell‬‭me.‬‭Where‬‭does‬‭it‬‭say‬‭who‬‭appoints‬‭the‬‭people‬ ‭to‬‭the‬‭various‬‭boards?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭That’s‬‭by‬‭village‬‭law‬‭in‬‭the‬‭State‬‭law.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭know‬‭but‬‭we‬‭have‬‭a‬‭Village‬‭Manager,‬‭not‬‭every‬‭municipality‬‭has‬‭a‬ ‭Village‬‭Manager,‬‭so‬‭you‬‭have‬‭been‬‭appointing‬‭these‬‭people.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes,‬‭that's‬‭in‬‭the‬‭village‬‭law,‬‭NYS‬‭village‬‭law.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭couldn't‬‭find‬‭it‬‭anywhere‬‭in‬‭here‬‭so‬‭I‬‭was‬‭questioning‬‭why‬‭doesn't‬‭it‬ ‭say‬‭that?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I'm‬‭not‬‭saying‬‭it‬‭shouldn't‬‭say‬‭it‬‭in‬‭here‬‭too.‬‭I‬‭hear‬‭you.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭it‬‭should‬‭be‬‭clarified‬‭in‬‭here.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭You‬‭want‬‭to‬‭add‬‭to‬‭that‬‭who‬‭appoints.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭would‬‭just‬‭like‬‭it‬‭to‬‭be‬‭crystal‬‭clear,‬‭John‬‭says‬‭it's‬‭in‬‭a‬‭NYS‬‭law,‬‭but‬ ‭we‬‭should‬‭have‬‭it‬‭in‬‭our‬‭local‬‭law‬‭who's‬‭responsible‬‭for‬‭making‬‭all‬‭of‬‭these‬‭appointments‬‭to‬‭the‬ ‭various‬‭boards.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Want‬‭to‬‭add‬‭that,‬‭just‬‭as‬‭a‬‭sentence?‬‭That‬‭the‬‭manager‬‭is‬‭responsible.‬ ‭All:‬‭Yes.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭The‬‭67-1‬‭we‬‭can‬‭take‬‭out‬‭the‬‭whole‬‭thing‬‭and‬‭then‬‭add‬‭that‬‭to‬‭67-2.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭And‬‭67-2‬‭should‬‭be‬‭changed‬‭to‬‭comp‬‭plan‬‭instead‬‭of‬‭master‬‭plan.‬ ‭Chapter‬‭67-3‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭We‬‭had‬‭changed‬‭the‬‭clerks‬‭to‬‭documents‬‭office‬‭at‬‭one‬‭time.‬‭Do‬‭we‬‭want‬‭to‬‭do‬ ‭that?‬‭I‬‭don’t‬‭know‬‭why‬‭we‬‭did‬‭that.‬‭Do‬‭we‬‭have‬‭a‬‭documents‬‭office?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭No.‬‭We‬‭have‬‭a‬‭clerk,‬‭we‬‭don’t‬‭need‬‭a‬‭documents‬‭office.‬ ‭12‬ ‭Chapter‬‭67-4‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Zoning‬‭and‬‭Planning‬‭Board‬‭Commission.‬‭We‬‭don't‬‭really‬‭have‬‭that‬‭and‬‭said‬‭to‬ ‭change‬‭that‬‭last‬‭time.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭These‬‭have‬‭not‬‭been‬‭changed.‬‭That’s‬‭probably‬‭dating‬‭back‬‭to‬‭a‬‭time‬‭when‬‭the‬ ‭zoning‬‭code‬‭was‬‭coming‬‭into‬‭effect.‬‭It‬‭can‬‭be‬‭updated‬‭and‬‭changed.‬‭I‬‭would‬‭delete‬‭67-1‬‭and‬‭reserve‬ ‭for‬‭future‬‭use‬‭and‬‭67-4.‬ ‭Chapter‬‭67-5‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭We‬‭all‬‭know‬‭what‬‭that's‬‭about.‬‭It's‬‭having‬‭members‬‭that‬‭are‬‭sitting‬‭in‬‭the‬‭audience‬ ‭in‬‭case‬‭somebody‬‭doesn’t‬‭show‬‭up‬‭so‬‭that‬‭they‬‭could‬‭fill‬‭in‬‭the‬‭meeting,‬‭in‬‭case‬‭there's‬‭not‬‭a‬‭forum.‬ ‭Says‬‭nothing‬‭in‬‭here‬‭about‬‭the‬‭nys‬‭law‬‭that‬‭says‬‭that‬‭they‬‭should‬‭have‬‭training‬‭and‬‭if‬‭they‬‭don't‬‭they‬ ‭can‬‭be‬‭let‬‭go.‬‭I‬‭looked‬‭that‬‭up‬‭because‬‭I‬‭know‬‭there's‬‭some‬‭concerns.‬‭There‬‭is‬‭a‬‭law‬‭that‬‭says‬‭that‬ ‭about‬‭the‬‭training.‬‭They‬‭want‬‭them‬‭to‬‭have‬‭those‬‭4‬‭hours‬‭of‬‭training‬‭a‬‭year.‬‭Zoning‬‭and‬‭Planning‬ ‭Board.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭That’s‬‭a‬‭removal‬‭for‬‭cause‬‭for‬‭not‬‭having‬‭the‬‭training.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭we‬‭should‬‭put‬‭something‬‭in‬‭there‬‭that‬‭the‬‭Planning‬‭and‬‭Zoning‬‭board‬‭need‬ ‭training‬‭and‬‭if‬‭not‬‭done,‬‭they‬‭can‬‭be‬‭replaced.‬‭That's‬‭what‬‭the‬‭nys‬‭law‬‭says‬‭about‬‭alternates‬‭and‬ ‭Zoning‬‭and‬‭Planning‬‭Boards.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭The‬‭members‬‭are‬‭required‬‭to‬‭submit‬‭the‬‭certification‬‭to‬‭the‬‭chair‬‭or‬‭the‬‭clerk‬‭or‬ ‭both.‬‭The‬‭chair‬‭will‬‭bring‬‭it‬‭to‬‭the‬‭clerk,‬‭if‬‭they‬‭get‬‭it‬‭themselves.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭67-7‬‭d,‬‭on‬‭the‬‭next‬‭page‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭reference‬‭all‬‭those‬‭issues‬‭with‬‭training‬‭and‬‭it‬ ‭applies‬‭to‬‭removal,‬‭eligibility‬‭and‬‭vacancy.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭On‬‭the‬‭same‬‭page,‬‭it‬‭says‬‭alternates‬‭can‬‭vote.‬‭Can‬‭you‬‭explain‬‭that?‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭It's‬‭governed‬‭by‬‭state‬‭law.‬ ‭Chapter‬‭67-8‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭This‬‭is‬‭when‬‭you‬‭have‬‭a‬‭conflict‬‭between‬‭the‬‭state‬‭code‬‭and‬‭your‬‭local‬‭code,‬ ‭it's‬‭saying‬‭that‬‭your‬‭local‬‭code‬‭would‬‭apply.‬ ‭Chapter‬‭74‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭See‬‭chapter‬‭291.‬‭Chapter‬‭291,‬‭which‬‭has‬‭speed‬‭limits,‬‭maximum‬‭25‬‭on‬‭streets,‬ ‭school‬‭is‬‭15‬‭and‬‭park‬‭is‬‭10.‬‭Weight‬‭limits,‬‭we‬‭have‬‭5‬‭ton‬‭on‬‭village‬‭streets.‬‭There’s‬‭an‬‭exception‬‭on‬ ‭Edmunds‬‭Ln‬‭about‬‭the‬‭limits.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Edmunds‬‭Ln‬‭is‬‭a‬‭truck‬‭route‬‭to‬‭Coldenham‬‭Rd.‬‭Factories‬‭that‬‭are‬‭on‬‭that‬‭street.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭We‬‭should‬‭still‬‭look‬‭at‬‭the‬‭sign‬‭because‬‭the‬‭sign‬‭that‬‭restricts‬‭going‬‭up‬‭is‬‭still‬‭there.‬ ‭Going‬‭up‬‭to‬‭Sweeney’s.‬‭They‬‭can’t‬‭go‬‭up‬‭there‬‭if‬‭it‬‭exceeds‬‭the‬‭weight‬‭limit.‬‭I‬‭brought‬‭this‬‭up‬‭a‬ ‭long‬‭time‬‭ago‬‭and‬‭it’s‬‭still‬‭there.‬‭By‬‭the‬‭letter‬‭of‬‭the‬‭law,‬‭they‬‭need‬‭to‬‭go‬‭straight‬‭out‬‭and‬‭not‬‭go‬‭up‬ ‭that‬‭way.‬‭We‬‭either‬‭need‬‭to‬‭take‬‭the‬‭sign‬‭down‬‭or‬‭we‬‭need‬‭to‬‭make‬‭an‬‭amendment‬‭that‬‭allows‬‭them‬ ‭to‬‭go‬‭up‬‭that‬‭road.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Just‬‭the‬‭sign‬‭is‬‭misplaced.‬‭The‬‭law‬‭is‬‭correct.‬ ‭13‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭The‬‭sign‬‭has‬‭been‬‭there‬‭forever.‬‭So,‬‭when‬‭we‬‭addressed‬‭the‬‭law,‬‭we‬‭didn’t‬‭address‬ ‭the‬‭sign.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭We‬‭have‬‭to‬‭take‬‭care‬‭of‬‭the‬‭sign.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭In‬‭that‬‭also‬‭talks‬‭about‬‭loading‬‭zones.‬‭Do‬‭we‬‭still‬‭need‬‭some‬‭of‬‭the‬‭loading‬‭zones‬ ‭that‬‭are‬‭here?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭What‬‭section‬‭are‬‭you‬‭in?‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I’m‬‭in‬‭291‬‭under‬‭Traffic‬‭Bureau.‬‭It‬‭says‬‭general‬‭references‬‭underneath‬‭that,‬‭it‬‭lists‬ ‭vehicle‬‭and‬‭traffic.‬‭List‬‭all‬‭of‬‭those‬‭speed‬‭limits,‬‭weight‬‭limits,‬‭exceptions,‬‭loading‬‭zones,‬‭one‬‭ways,‬ ‭yields.‬‭Do‬‭we‬‭not‬‭have‬‭to‬‭look‬‭at‬‭those?‬‭Under‬‭chapter‬‭74,‬‭you‬‭go‬‭to‬‭general‬‭references.‬‭Let’s‬‭save‬ ‭that‬‭for‬‭next‬‭meeting.‬ ‭Chapter‬‭74-2‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Do‬‭we‬‭have‬‭a‬‭Vehicle‬‭and‬‭Traffic‬‭Violation‬‭Bureau?‬‭Is‬‭it‬‭the‬‭Police‬‭Department?‬ ‭Looks‬‭like‬‭it’s‬‭under‬‭the‬‭judge’s‬‭jurisdiction.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭I‬‭read‬‭it‬‭as‬‭it’s‬‭the‬‭courts.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭That‬‭would‬‭be‬‭a‬‭question‬‭for‬‭Village‬‭Justice.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭think‬‭that's‬‭even‬‭relevant‬‭anymore,‬‭1973‬‭and‬‭1982,‬‭don't‬‭see‬‭any‬‭updates.‬ ‭This‬‭is‬‭a‬‭good‬‭one‬‭to‬‭go‬‭in‬‭and‬‭maybe‬‭delete‬‭it‬‭in‬‭it's‬‭entirety.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭We'll‬‭check‬‭that‬‭out.‬ ‭*Discussion‬‭about‬‭Chapter‬‭86‬‭and‬‭agreed‬‭to‬‭leave‬‭it‬‭as‬‭is*‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Will‬‭come‬‭back‬‭to‬‭ethics‬‭in‬‭July‬‭and‬‭74/291‬‭next‬‭meeting.‬ ‭CDBG‬‭–‬‭Set‬‭Public‬‭Hearing‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭We’ll‬‭figure‬‭out‬‭an‬‭area‬‭of‬‭sidewalk.‬‭There's‬‭a‬‭couple‬‭areas‬‭in‬‭need.‬‭It's‬‭really‬ ‭limited‬‭what‬‭you‬‭can‬‭use‬‭CDBG‬‭for.‬‭ADA‬‭compliance‬‭is‬‭one‬‭of‬‭the‬‭things‬‭you‬‭can‬‭use‬‭it‬‭for‬‭now.‬ ‭So,‬‭my‬‭recommendation‬‭is‬‭to‬‭try‬‭to‬‭find‬‭an‬‭area‬‭to‬‭use‬‭that‬‭for.‬‭Goal‬‭for‬‭the‬‭board‬‭for‬‭tonight‬‭is‬‭to‬ ‭set‬‭the‬‭public‬‭hearing‬‭for‬‭next‬‭meeting‬‭in‬‭order‬‭to‬‭apply‬‭for‬‭those‬‭funds.‬ ‭Trustee‬ ‭Baker‬‭made‬‭a‬‭motion‬‭to‬‭set‬‭public‬‭hearing‬‭for‬‭CDBG‬‭for‬‭Jun‬‭17,‬‭2025‬‭at‬‭6:30pm‬‭or‬‭soon‬ ‭thereafter.‬‭Seconded‬‭by‬‭Trustee‬‭Taylor.‬‭All‬‭ayes.‬‭Motion‬‭carried.‬ ‭Office‬‭Hours‬‭-‬‭Discussion‬ ‭Tabled‬ ‭Dress‬‭Code‬‭-‬‭Discussion‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭We‬‭did‬‭get‬‭something‬‭from‬‭John‬‭for‬‭the‬‭dress‬‭code.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭The‬‭first‬‭sentence,‬‭employees‬‭must‬‭use‬‭good‬‭judgement‬‭and‬‭taste‬‭in‬‭their‬‭work‬ ‭clothes.‬‭I‬‭know‬‭my‬‭personal‬‭taste‬‭is‬‭probably‬‭different‬‭than‬‭Bill’s‬‭or‬‭Lynn’s‬‭or‬‭yours.‬‭I‬‭wouldn’t‬‭put‬ ‭it‬‭as‬‭someone’s‬‭personal‬‭taste.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭if‬‭you're‬‭going‬‭to‬‭set‬‭up‬‭a‬‭dress‬‭code‬‭it‬‭should‬‭be‬‭at‬‭the‬ ‭village’s‬‭standards‬‭and‬‭no‬‭a‬‭personal‬‭employees‬‭opinion.‬ ‭14‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭agree‬‭Cheryl.‬‭I‬‭read‬‭that‬‭too‬‭and‬‭thought‬‭why‬‭would‬‭the‬‭person‬‭be‬ ‭able‬‭to‬‭because‬‭that's‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭why‬‭we're‬‭in‬‭this‬‭discussion‬‭anyway.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭It’s‬‭counterintuitive‬‭to‬‭having‬‭a‬‭dress‬‭code‬‭policy.‬‭If‬‭you're‬‭just‬‭going‬‭to‬‭leave‬‭it‬‭up‬ ‭to‬‭the‬‭employee‬‭to‬‭decide‬‭whether‬‭it's‬‭appropriate‬‭or‬‭not.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭There‬‭was‬‭a‬‭list,‬‭it‬‭talked‬‭about‬‭no‬‭flip‬‭flops,‬‭shorts,‬‭t-shirts.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭If‬‭you‬‭refer‬‭to,‬‭it‬‭says‬‭except‬‭for‬‭employees‬‭to‬‭use‬‭their‬‭own‬‭judgment‬‭and‬‭the‬‭next‬ ‭sentence‬‭goes‬‭on‬‭and‬‭says‬‭they're‬‭required‬‭to‬‭dress‬‭in‬‭business‬‭or‬‭business‬‭casual.‬‭That‬‭kind‬‭of‬ ‭covers‬‭it.‬‭It‬‭also‬‭outlines‬‭that‬‭t-shirts,‬‭shorts,‬‭flip‬‭flops‬‭and‬‭maybe‬‭we‬‭should‬‭include‬‭bare‬‭feet‬‭are‬ ‭not‬‭allowed.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭With‬‭shorts,‬‭some‬‭women’s‬‭pant‬‭suits‬‭are‬‭dress‬‭shorts.‬‭Are‬‭those‬‭being‬‭banned‬‭as‬ ‭well?‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭That’s‬‭the‬‭board’s‬‭decision.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that’s‬‭up‬‭to‬‭the‬‭person‬‭who‬‭determines‬‭whether‬‭that‬‭person‬‭is‬‭going‬‭to‬‭go‬ ‭home‬‭and‬‭says‬‭it's‬‭appropriate‬‭or‬‭not.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭it‬‭also‬‭depends‬‭on‬‭the‬‭length‬‭of‬‭the‬‭shorts.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭How‬‭detailed‬‭do‬‭we‬‭have‬‭to‬‭get?‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭think‬‭we‬‭have‬‭to‬‭get‬‭that‬‭detailed,‬‭just‬‭specifics‬‭on‬‭what‬‭it‬‭says,‬‭like‬‭flip‬ ‭flops,‬‭shorts,‬‭t-shirts.‬‭T-shirts‬‭are‬‭great‬‭unless‬‭it’s‬‭printed‬‭t-shirts‬‭and‬‭they’re‬‭not‬‭just‬‭advertising‬ ‭shirts.‬‭If‬‭you‬‭have‬‭a‬‭printed‬‭t-shirt‬‭that’s‬‭flowers‬‭all‬‭over‬‭it.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭t-shirts‬‭is‬‭the‬‭wrong‬‭word‬‭to‬‭use.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭we‬‭should‬‭just‬‭go‬‭by‬‭business‬‭casual‬‭and‬‭address‬‭it‬‭that‬‭way.‬‭A‬ ‭stretched‬‭out,‬‭faded‬‭t-shirt‬‭is‬‭not‬‭business‬‭casual.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭This‬‭is‬‭a‬‭business.‬‭People‬‭that‬‭work‬‭for‬‭the‬‭village‬‭and‬‭are‬‭in‬‭front‬‭of‬‭the‬‭public,‬ ‭this‬‭is‬‭a‬‭business‬‭and‬‭it‬‭should‬‭look‬‭like‬‭it's‬‭a‬‭business.‬‭It‬‭should‬‭run‬‭like‬‭it's‬‭a‬‭business‬‭and‬‭it‬‭should‬ ‭sound‬‭like‬‭it's‬‭a‬‭business.‬‭I‬‭have‬‭been‬‭in‬‭management‬‭for‬‭40‬‭years‬‭and‬‭had‬‭been‬‭exposed‬‭to‬‭dress‬ ‭codes‬‭my‬‭entire‬‭career.‬‭Generally,‬‭management‬‭didn't‬‭solicit‬‭opinions‬‭of‬‭what‬‭was‬‭acceptable.‬‭They‬ ‭told‬‭us‬‭what‬‭was‬‭acceptable.‬‭If‬‭you're‬‭dealing‬‭with‬‭the‬‭public,‬‭casual‬‭business‬‭attire‬‭is‬‭the‬‭way‬‭to‬ ‭go.‬‭It‬‭should‬‭be‬‭up‬‭to‬‭the‬‭department‬‭head,‬‭if‬‭something‬‭is‬‭deemed‬‭not‬‭casual‬‭business,‬‭unless‬‭it's‬ ‭extreme,‬‭obviously.‬‭We‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭somebody‬‭thinking‬‭they're‬‭running‬‭the‬‭catwalk‬‭every‬‭time‬‭they‬ ‭come‬‭to‬‭work.‬‭Business‬‭casual‬‭is‬‭the‬‭norm.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭a‬‭business.‬‭It‬‭needs‬‭to‬‭look‬‭like‬‭it,‬‭sound‬‭like‬‭it‬ ‭and‬‭present‬‭like‬‭it.‬‭Being‬‭barefoot,‬‭safety‬‭issue.‬‭Right‬‭off‬‭the‬‭bat.‬‭Workers‬‭comp‬‭issue‬‭written‬‭all‬ ‭over.‬‭Stub‬‭my‬‭toe,‬‭broke‬‭it.‬‭I‬‭was‬‭barefoot.‬‭Too‬‭bad.‬‭So,‬‭business‬‭casual‬‭should‬‭include‬‭some‬‭decent‬ ‭footwear.‬‭Nobody's‬‭mandating‬‭safety‬‭shoes‬‭unless‬‭your‬‭job‬‭dictates‬‭it.‬‭But‬‭flip‬‭flops,‬‭running‬ ‭around‬‭barefoot,‬‭that's‬‭just‬‭unacceptable.‬‭That's‬‭not‬‭what‬‭businesses‬‭do.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭not‬‭the‬‭service‬‭desk‬ ‭at‬‭Home‬‭Depot‬‭and‬‭Lowe's.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭a‬‭business.‬‭We‬‭are‬‭the‬‭face‬‭of‬‭the‬‭public‬‭and‬‭we‬‭should‬‭present‬ ‭ourselves‬‭accordingly.‬‭Whether‬‭it's‬‭on‬‭this‬‭dais‬‭or‬‭in‬‭an‬‭office.‬‭That’s‬‭my‬‭opinion.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭I‬‭agree‬‭with‬‭Bill,‬‭but‬‭I‬‭thought‬‭we‬‭were‬‭going‬‭to‬‭relax‬‭the‬‭rules‬‭a‬‭little‬ ‭on‬‭Fridays.‬‭They‬‭could‬‭have‬‭a‬‭casual‬‭Friday.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that's‬‭pretty‬‭much‬‭standard‬‭in‬‭the‬‭industry‬‭from‬‭coast‬‭to‬‭coast‬‭now.‬‭Casual‬ ‭Fridays.‬‭But‬‭again,‬‭let's‬‭not‬‭go‬‭crazy‬‭here‬‭and‬‭don't‬‭be‬‭offended‬‭if‬‭the‬‭person‬‭you‬‭work‬‭for‬‭says‬‭hey,‬ ‭that's‬‭really‬‭on‬‭the‬‭edge‬‭here.‬‭I‬‭would‬‭prefer‬‭you‬‭don't‬‭come‬‭to‬‭work‬‭like‬‭that.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭see‬‭a‬‭problem‬ ‭with‬‭that.‬‭That's‬‭what‬‭management‬‭is‬‭supposed‬‭to‬‭do.‬‭They're‬‭supposed‬‭to‬‭guide,‬‭support‬‭and‬ ‭15‬ ‭provide‬‭necessary‬‭information‬‭for‬‭employees.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭If‬‭you're‬‭talking‬‭about‬‭business‬‭casual,‬‭normally‬‭that's‬‭not‬‭jeans.‬‭So,‬‭casual‬ ‭Friday‬‭would‬‭be‬‭jeans.‬‭That‬‭would‬‭be‬‭a‬‭difference.‬‭Just‬‭an‬‭example.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭I‬‭agree.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭You‬‭want‬‭to‬‭have‬‭the‬‭attorney‬‭write‬‭something‬‭up‬‭for‬‭us‬‭or‬‭John‬‭can‬‭you‬‭do‬‭the‬ ‭policy?‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭Draft‬‭the‬‭policy‬‭prepared‬‭by‬‭Ashley‬‭Torre.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭that‬‭could‬‭be‬‭modified‬ ‭and‬‭then‬‭adopted‬‭by‬‭the‬‭board.‬‭It's‬‭not‬‭by‬‭local‬‭law.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭have‬‭it‬‭ready‬‭with‬‭notes.‬ ‭Cell‬‭Phone‬‭Policy‬ ‭tabled‬ ‭Public‬‭Comment‬ ‭Mary‬‭Ellen‬‭Matise:‬‭How‬‭about‬‭you‬‭revisit‬‭an‬‭issue‬‭that‬‭we've‬‭ignored‬‭for‬‭a‬‭long‬‭time‬‭*inaudible*‬ ‭about‬‭the‬‭placement‬‭making‬‭workshops‬‭that‬‭we‬‭had‬‭years‬‭ago.‬‭Casually‬‭crossing‬‭the‬‭street‬‭over‬ ‭here‬‭and‬‭have‬‭to‬‭stand‬‭on‬‭the‬‭sidewalk‬‭and‬‭waiting‬‭because‬‭someone‬‭comes‬‭flying‬‭through‬‭the‬ ‭square.‬‭I‬‭wish‬‭I‬‭had‬‭a‬‭gun‬‭to‬‭clock‬‭how‬‭fast‬‭she‬‭was‬‭going.‬‭Never‬‭slowed‬‭down.‬‭Came‬‭around‬‭the‬ ‭curve‬‭to‬‭go‬‭up‬‭Scofield‬‭Street.‬‭If‬‭anybody‬‭had‬‭been‬‭out‬‭there‬‭they‬‭would‬‭have‬‭been‬‭clipped.‬‭Maybe‬ ‭the‬‭idea‬‭is,‬‭they‬‭have‬‭those‬‭rubber‬‭humps‬‭that‬‭you‬‭can‬‭put‬‭temporarily‬‭and‬‭maybe‬‭we‬‭should‬‭try‬‭it‬ ‭to‬‭slow‬‭people‬‭down.‬‭They‬‭can‬‭always‬‭be‬‭removed.‬‭They're‬‭rubber‬‭and‬‭they're‬‭not‬‭the‬‭greatest‬‭thing‬ ‭in‬‭the‬‭world.‬‭Maybe‬‭a‬‭temporary‬‭basis‬‭with‬‭the‬‭idea‬‭that‬‭we‬‭go‬‭ahead‬‭and‬‭finally‬‭put‬‭some‬‭humps‬ ‭in‬‭the‬‭square.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭The‬‭white‬‭ones‬‭that‬‭are‬‭like‬‭this‬‭wide?‬‭The‬‭length‬‭of‬‭the‬‭road.‬ ‭Mary‬‭Ellen‬‭Matise:‬‭They‬‭have‬‭to‬‭be‬‭wide.‬‭Maybe‬‭something‬‭that‬‭should‬‭just‬‭try‬‭temporarily,‬‭just‬ ‭to‬‭get‬‭people‬‭to‬‭slow‬‭down.‬‭Obviously,‬‭the‬‭array‬‭of‬‭cameras‬‭and‬‭all‬‭the‬‭monitors‬‭downstairs‬‭in‬‭the‬ ‭dispatch‬‭office‬‭don’t‬‭work,‬‭in‬‭terms‬‭of‬‭slowing‬‭down‬‭because‬‭that's‬‭not‬‭what‬‭they're‬‭there‬‭for.‬‭But‬ ‭they‬‭could‬‭see‬‭somebody‬‭speeding‬‭through.‬‭If‬‭somebody‬‭is‬‭sitting‬‭there‬‭and‬‭watching‬‭the‬‭screens.‬ ‭And‬‭it‬‭could‬‭even‬‭get‬‭us‬‭to‬‭a‬‭license‬‭plate,‬‭don’t‬‭you‬‭have‬‭the‬‭plate‬‭readers?‬‭That‬‭person‬‭should‬ ‭have‬‭had‬‭a‬‭ticket.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭They‬‭can't‬‭ticket‬‭based‬‭on‬‭that‬‭process.‬‭We‬‭don't‬‭have‬‭that‬‭ability‬‭village.‬‭You‬ ‭have‬‭to‬‭be‬‭a‬‭city‬‭to‬‭do‬‭that.‬‭The‬‭state‬‭doesn't‬‭allow‬‭us.‬ ‭Mary‬‭Ellen‬‭Matise:‬‭That‬‭was‬‭one‬‭of‬‭the‬‭worst‬‭I've‬‭seen‬‭in‬‭a‬‭long‬‭time.‬‭She‬‭could‬‭have‬‭been‬‭easily‬ ‭going‬‭25-30‬‭mph.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭That's‬‭why‬‭we‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭that‬‭the‬‭school‬‭zone‬‭signs‬‭are‬‭there‬‭too.‬ ‭Mary‬‭Ellen‬‭Matise:‬‭Whatever‬‭she‬‭was‬‭doing,‬‭she‬‭wasn't‬‭fazed‬‭at‬‭all‬‭by‬‭where‬‭she‬‭was.‬‭People‬‭may‬ ‭be‬‭being‬‭there.‬‭She‬‭was‬‭just‬‭gunning‬‭it‬‭straight‬‭ahead.‬ ‭Jerry‬‭Hanen:‬‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭didn't‬‭want‬‭to‬‭name‬‭me‬‭as‬‭the‬‭resident‬‭that‬‭contacted‬‭her.‬‭Mainly‬‭it's‬ ‭about‬‭communication‬‭and‬‭the‬‭lack‬‭of‬‭in‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭cases.‬‭I‬‭was‬‭looking‬‭for‬‭information‬‭for‬‭the‬ ‭Memorial‬‭Day‬‭Parade.‬‭There‬‭was‬‭nothing‬‭on‬‭the‬‭village‬‭website‬‭at‬‭all‬‭about‬‭it.‬‭I‬‭clicked‬‭on‬‭the‬ ‭16‬ ‭Facebook‬‭page‬‭for‬‭the‬‭village‬‭and‬‭the‬‭first‬‭thing‬‭that‬‭comes‬‭up‬‭is‬‭negative‬‭comments‬‭from‬‭2022‬ ‭until‬‭you‬‭actually‬‭click‬‭on‬‭the‬‭village‬‭and‬‭then‬‭it‬‭did‬‭come‬‭up‬‭and‬‭there‬‭was‬‭some‬‭information‬‭there.‬ ‭But‬‭if‬‭you‬‭just‬‭search‬‭for‬‭the‬‭Village‬‭of‬‭Walden‬‭on‬‭Facebook‬‭the‬‭comments‬‭are‬‭very‬‭negative‬‭about‬ ‭the‬‭village.‬‭But‬‭I‬‭did‬‭finally‬‭find‬‭information‬‭there‬‭and‬‭on‬‭the‬‭Community‬‭Council’s‬‭Facebook‬ ‭page.‬‭Then‬‭I‬‭looked‬‭a‬‭little‬‭more‬‭at‬‭the‬‭website,‬‭I‬‭was‬‭looking‬‭for‬‭the‬‭comprehensive‬‭plan,‬‭which‬ ‭when‬‭I‬‭searched‬‭for‬‭it‬‭says‬‭that‬‭it's‬‭on‬‭the‬‭Village‬‭Manager’s‬‭link‬‭and‬‭you‬‭go‬‭there‬‭and‬‭the‬‭link‬ ‭that's‬‭there‬‭does‬‭not‬‭work.‬‭But‬‭Marisa‬‭did‬‭e-mail‬‭it‬‭to‬‭me‬‭today.‬‭The‬‭welcome‬‭packet.‬‭Page‬‭one‬‭is‬ ‭all‬‭the‬‭information‬‭about‬‭the‬‭village.‬‭That‬‭had‬‭1‬‭of‬‭the‬‭Trustees‬‭right‬‭because‬‭many‬‭was‬‭on‬‭the‬ ‭board‬‭at‬‭that‬‭point‬‭in‬‭2019.‬‭That‬‭welcome‬‭packet‬‭needs‬‭to‬‭be‬‭completely‬‭reviewed‬‭and‬‭updated‬ ‭because‬‭there's‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭other‬‭information‬‭there‬‭and‬‭that's‬‭not‬‭right.‬‭And‬‭like‬‭Lynn‬‭said,‬‭it‬‭needs‬‭to‬ ‭get‬‭out‬‭to‬‭people.‬‭We‬‭never‬‭got‬‭anything,‬‭we‬‭never‬‭heard‬‭anything‬‭about‬‭it.‬‭We‬‭moved‬‭here‬‭4‬‭years‬ ‭ago.‬‭The‬‭calendar‬‭and‬‭the‬‭upcoming‬‭events‬‭if‬‭you‬‭look‬‭at‬‭the‬‭upcoming‬‭events‬‭the‬‭most‬‭recent‬‭thing‬ ‭happened‬‭in‬‭March.‬‭That‬‭needs‬‭to‬‭be‬‭updated.‬‭I‬‭know‬‭Marisa's‬‭got‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭her‬‭plate‬‭and‬‭this‬‭is‬‭not‬‭all‬ ‭on‬‭her‬‭but‬‭I‬‭think‬‭we‬‭need‬‭somebody‬‭that‬‭is‬‭focused‬‭on‬‭communication‬‭because‬‭it‬‭is‬‭an‬‭important‬ ‭part‬‭of‬‭what‬‭we‬‭need‬‭here‬‭in‬‭the‬‭village.‬‭We‬‭need‬‭people‬‭to‬‭know‬‭what's‬‭going‬‭on‬‭and‬‭the‬‭only‬‭way‬ ‭they're‬‭going‬‭to‬‭know‬‭that‬‭is‬‭if‬‭they‬‭can‬‭go‬‭to‬‭the‬‭website‬‭and‬‭get‬‭correct‬‭information.‬‭If‬‭we‬‭can't‬ ‭find‬‭the‬‭links‬‭to‬‭get‬‭to‬‭the‬‭calendar,‬‭it‬‭takes‬‭like‬‭3‬‭or‬‭4‬‭clicks‬‭just‬‭to‬‭get‬‭to‬‭a‬‭calendar,‬‭instead‬‭of‬‭the‬ ‭calendar‬‭that‬‭shows‬‭up‬‭when‬‭you‬‭open‬‭the‬‭page,‬‭that‬‭has‬‭nothing‬‭on‬‭it.‬‭We‬‭need‬‭to‬‭look‬‭at‬‭updating‬ ‭that‬‭the‬‭website‬‭and‬‭keeping‬‭it‬‭updated.‬ ‭Scott‬‭Clemens:‬‭I'm‬‭wondering‬‭if‬‭there‬‭was‬‭a‬‭way‬‭that‬‭you‬‭guys‬‭can‬‭paint‬‭lines‬‭down‬‭at‬‭the‬‭tennis‬ ‭courts‬‭for‬‭pickleball‬‭as‬‭well?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yeah.‬‭We‬‭asked‬‭Jay‬‭DeGroodt,‬‭he‬‭contracts‬‭with‬‭us‬‭to‬‭do‬‭paint.‬‭So,‬‭I‬‭hope‬‭he‬ ‭can‬‭get‬‭over‬‭there‬‭and‬‭get‬‭it‬‭done.‬ ‭Scott‬‭Clemens:‬‭Also,‬‭there's‬‭a‬‭new‬‭memorial‬‭down‬‭at‬‭Bradley‬‭Field.‬‭The‬‭big‬‭stone,‬‭great‬ ‭memorial.‬‭Love‬‭to‬‭see‬‭it,‬‭but‬‭the‬‭bench‬‭is‬‭positioned‬‭in‬‭a‬‭terrible‬‭spot.‬‭So,‬‭you’re‬‭just‬‭sitting‬‭there‬ ‭looking‬‭at‬‭a‬‭block‬‭that's‬‭8‬‭feet‬‭away.‬‭If‬‭you‬‭could‬‭back‬‭that‬‭up‬‭a‬‭little‬‭bit,‬‭that‬‭be‬‭beneficial.‬‭Also,‬‭I‬ ‭was‬‭wondering‬‭if‬‭there's‬‭a‬‭way‬‭you‬‭could‬‭put‬‭a‬‭buffer‬‭or‬‭a‬‭snow‬‭fence‬‭on‬‭Richardson‬‭Street‬‭during‬ ‭the‬‭winter‬‭season.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭There’s‬‭no‬‭median.‬‭He’s‬‭talking‬‭about‬‭between‬‭the‬‭curb‬‭and‬‭the‬‭sidewalk,‬ ‭there's‬‭no‬‭grass‬‭mall.‬ ‭Scott‬‭Clemens:‬‭I'll‬‭clean‬‭the‬‭sidewalk,‬‭the‬‭plow‬‭will‬‭have‬‭to‬‭take‬‭it‬‭off‬‭the‬‭road.‬‭Where‬‭it‬‭drains‬ ‭*inaudible*‬‭We've‬‭discussed‬‭that‬‭great‬‭length‬‭for‬‭25‬‭years.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭it's‬‭something‬‭maybe‬‭to‬‭act‬‭on‬ ‭that‬‭and‬‭do‬‭something‬‭and‬‭really‬‭resolve‬‭it.‬‭It’s‬‭to‬‭a‬‭point‬‭of‬‭great‬‭stress‬‭for‬‭the‬‭homeowners‬‭that‬ ‭own‬‭that‬‭sidewalk.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭1:‬‭We‬‭came‬‭here‬‭for‬‭clarification.‬‭We‬‭received‬‭an‬‭e-mail‬‭from‬‭Dean‬ ‭Stickles.‬‭Since,‬‭it's‬‭very‬‭hard‬‭for‬‭us‬‭to‬‭understand‬‭how‬‭the‬‭Building‬‭Department‬‭functions,‬‭we‬ ‭thought‬‭that‬‭we‬‭would‬‭bring‬‭it‬‭to‬‭you‬‭guys‬‭so‬‭maybe‬‭we‬‭can‬‭understand.‬‭*read‬‭email‬‭into‬‭minutes*‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭He’s‬‭talking‬‭about‬‭the‬‭outdoor‬‭café‬‭permit.‬‭Did‬‭he‬‭give‬‭any‬‭information‬‭on‬‭that?‬ ‭Rob‬‭will‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭that‬‭you‬‭get‬‭an‬‭outdoor‬‭café‬‭permit‬‭over‬‭to‬‭your‬‭place‬‭tomorrow.‬‭If‬‭that’s‬‭what‬ ‭you‬‭want‬‭to‬‭do.‬‭If‬‭you‬‭have‬‭tables‬‭and‬‭chairs‬‭out‬‭on‬‭the‬‭village‬‭sidewalk,‬‭you're‬‭supposed‬‭to‬‭have‬ ‭an‬‭outdoor‬‭café‬‭permit.‬‭That's‬‭something‬‭that‬‭this‬‭board‬‭reviews‬‭often.‬‭He‬‭could‬‭bring‬‭over‬‭the‬ ‭paperwork,‬‭you‬‭can‬‭look‬‭at‬‭it‬‭and‬‭see‬‭if‬‭it’s‬‭something‬‭you‬‭want‬‭to‬‭do.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭1:‬‭Is‬‭there‬‭a‬‭fee‬‭associated‬‭with‬‭that?‬ ‭17‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬‭It's‬‭an‬‭annual‬‭fee,‬‭100‬‭bucks‬‭a‬‭year‬‭to‬‭have‬‭tables‬‭and‬‭chairs‬‭outside.‬ ‭Usually,‬‭you‬‭have‬‭where‬‭you‬‭are‬‭going‬‭to‬‭put‬‭your‬‭table‬‭and‬‭chairs‬‭on‬‭a‬‭drawing‬‭or‬‭something.‬ ‭How‬‭you‬‭are‬‭going‬‭to‬‭fix‬‭them‬‭and‬‭then‬‭the‬‭board‬‭will‬‭look‬‭at‬‭it.‬‭If‬‭it's‬‭okay,‬‭they'll‬‭say‬‭sure.‬‭That's‬ ‭pretty‬‭much‬‭it.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭1:‬‭If‬‭the‬‭business‬‭is‬‭not‬‭a‬‭café,‬‭they‬‭still‬‭use‬‭table‬‭and‬‭chairs,‬‭do‬‭they‬ ‭have‬‭to‬‭pay‬‭the‬‭fee?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭1:‬‭Why‬‭other‬‭businesses‬‭didn't‬‭have‬‭to‬‭do‬‭that?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know‬‭which‬‭other‬‭ones‬‭may‬‭have‬‭stuff‬‭outside‬‭and‬‭didn't‬ ‭get‬‭a‬‭permit.‬‭I’ll‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭Rob‬‭checks.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭1:‬‭I‬‭just‬‭find‬‭it‬‭very‬‭interesting‬‭that‬‭Dean‬‭sees‬‭our‬‭business,‬‭that‬‭is‬‭a‬ ‭year‬‭old,‬‭but‬‭does‬‭not‬‭see‬‭other‬‭businesses‬‭that‬‭have‬‭been‬‭on‬‭Main‬‭Street‬‭for‬‭several‬‭years.‬‭That's‬ ‭why‬‭we‬‭bring‬‭it‬‭to‬‭the‬‭board‬‭because‬‭we‬‭can't‬‭have‬‭conversation‬‭with‬‭the‬‭Building‬‭Department.‬‭It's‬ ‭very‬‭confusing.‬‭They‬‭give‬‭us‬‭information‬‭when‬‭we‬‭inquire‬‭and‬‭we‬‭ask‬‭for‬‭the‬‭businesses,‬‭they‬‭say‬ ‭that‬‭they‬‭didn't‬‭have‬‭to‬‭go‬‭through‬‭the‬‭same‬‭process.‬‭That's‬‭why‬‭we're‬‭asking.‬‭For‬‭instance,‬‭when‬ ‭we‬‭had‬‭to‬‭put‬‭our‬‭letters‬‭on‬‭the‬‭windows,‬‭we‬‭were‬‭told‬‭that‬‭we‬‭needed‬‭a‬‭building‬‭permit‬ ‭application.‬‭We‬‭actually‬‭paid‬‭for‬‭a‬‭building‬‭permit‬‭application‬‭to‬‭put‬‭those‬‭letters‬‭on‬‭the‬‭windows‬‭to‬ ‭be‬‭able‬‭to‬‭go‬‭in‬‭front‬‭of‬‭the‬‭Planning‬‭Board‬‭to‬‭present‬‭our‬‭letters.‬‭And‬‭Darlene‬‭told‬‭us,‬‭when‬‭you‬ ‭put‬‭those‬‭letters‬‭on‬‭your‬‭window,‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭that‬‭you‬‭put‬‭the‬‭building‬‭permit‬‭on‬‭your‬‭door‬‭so‬ ‭everybody‬‭can‬‭see‬‭what‬‭you're‬‭doing‬‭and‬‭nobody‬‭can‬‭complain‬‭about‬‭it.‬‭Being‬‭in‬‭the‬‭construction‬ ‭business‬‭for‬‭pretty‬‭much‬‭our‬‭entire‬‭professional‬‭lives,‬‭to‬‭put‬‭a‬‭building‬‭permit‬‭to‬‭put‬‭stickers‬‭on‬ ‭windows‬‭was‬‭a‬‭little‬‭strange‬‭to‬‭us.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭it‬‭should‬‭have‬‭been‬‭a‬‭sign‬‭permit,‬‭not‬‭a‬‭building‬‭permit‬‭but‬‭its‬‭pretty‬ ‭similar.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭2:‬‭What‬‭we're‬‭asking‬‭here‬‭is,‬‭we‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭to‬‭be‬‭targeted.‬‭If‬‭you‬ ‭don't‬‭want‬‭businesses‬‭to‬‭come‬‭into‬‭town,‬‭they‬‭should‬‭say‬‭we‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭anybody‬‭else‬‭in‬‭town.‬‭But‬ ‭there‬‭is‬‭double‬‭standards‬‭here‬‭because‬‭there‬‭is‬‭no‬‭other‬‭business‬‭on‬‭Main‬‭Street,‬‭we‬‭spoke‬‭to‬ ‭everyone,‬‭nobody‬‭paid‬‭for‬‭a‬‭permit.‬‭Request,‬‭you‬‭already‬‭have‬‭our‬‭money,‬‭that‬‭you‬‭would‬‭approve‬ ‭us‬‭for‬‭putting‬‭the‬‭tables‬‭out‬‭and‬‭everyone‬‭else‬‭puts‬‭tables‬‭out‬‭and‬‭they‬‭never‬‭got‬‭in‬‭trouble.‬‭They've‬ ‭had‬‭the‬‭tables‬‭out‬‭for‬‭years.‬‭When‬‭we‬‭went‬‭to‬‭get‬‭approval‬‭for‬‭1‬‭sink,‬‭took‬‭them‬‭3‬‭months.‬‭If‬‭John‬ ‭didn't‬‭stop‬‭them‬‭from‬‭harassing‬‭us,‬‭we‬‭still‬‭would‬‭be‬‭waiting‬‭for‬‭a‬‭sink‬‭a‬‭year‬‭later.‬‭Thank‬‭you,‬ ‭John.‬‭John‬‭had‬‭stopped‬‭in‬‭and‬‭apologized.‬‭They‬‭have‬‭something‬‭against‬‭us,‬‭whatever‬‭it‬‭is‬‭it's‬‭not‬ ‭ethical.‬‭Talk‬‭about‬‭ethical‬‭stuff,‬‭Dean‬‭also‬‭made‬‭a‬‭comment‬‭“they’re‬‭not‬‭from‬‭around‬‭here”.‬‭We‬ ‭live‬‭25‬‭mins‬‭up‬‭the‬‭road.‬‭Yes,‬‭Dean‬‭has‬‭some‬‭type‬‭of‬‭issue‬‭and‬‭he's‬‭targeting‬‭us.‬‭No‬‭other‬‭business‬ ‭on‬‭Main‬‭Street‬‭had‬‭to‬‭pay‬‭for‬‭it.‬‭So,‬‭we're‬‭asking‬‭the‬‭board,‬‭somebody‬‭should‬‭talk‬‭to‬‭him.‬‭We‬ ‭already‬‭paid‬‭for‬‭something‬‭that‬‭nobody‬‭else‬‭pays‬‭for,‬‭that‬‭you‬‭would‬‭approve‬‭us‬‭to‬‭have‬‭the‬‭tables‬ ‭out‬‭there,‬‭since‬‭we've‬‭already‬‭gone‬‭through‬‭enough‬‭with‬‭him.‬‭Please,‬‭somebody‬‭step‬‭up‬‭and‬‭put‬‭an‬ ‭end‬‭to‬‭this‬‭prejudice.‬‭Thank‬‭you.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭Can‬‭you‬‭tell‬‭me‬‭what‬‭are‬‭the‬‭other‬‭businesses?‬‭I'm‬‭wondering‬‭where‬‭they're‬‭at‬‭that‬ ‭have‬‭tables‬‭and‬‭chairs‬‭on‬‭the‬‭sidewalk.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭1:‬‭There‬‭is‬‭the‬‭Barber‬‭shop‬‭next‬‭to‬‭us.‬‭Who‬‭said‬‭that‬‭he‬‭had‬‭chairs‬ ‭outside‬‭for‬‭a‬‭long‬‭time‬‭there.‬‭Weaker‬‭chairs‬‭that‬‭got‬‭destroyed‬‭by‬‭the‬‭elements‬‭after‬‭a‬‭while‬‭so‬‭that's‬ ‭why‬‭they're‬‭not‬‭there‬‭anymore.‬‭He‬‭said‬‭that‬‭he‬‭didn't‬‭need‬‭to‬‭ask‬‭anyone‬‭to‬‭put‬‭those‬‭chairs‬‭on‬‭the‬ ‭18‬ ‭sidewalk.‬‭Brittney‬‭has‬‭chairs‬‭and‬‭a‬‭table‬‭outside.‬‭We‬‭organize‬‭events‬‭with‬‭Brittany‬‭she's‬‭a‬‭great‬ ‭asset‬‭for‬‭the‬‭village.‬‭She‬‭told‬‭us‬‭that‬‭she‬‭never‬‭had‬‭to‬‭ask‬‭for‬‭anything‬‭for‬‭those‬‭2‬‭chairs‬‭and‬‭the‬ ‭table‬‭on‬‭the‬‭sidewalk.‬‭But‬‭we‬‭hear‬‭about‬‭it‬‭one‬‭year‬‭after‬‭we've‬‭been‬‭open‬‭already‬‭and‬‭coming‬‭from‬ ‭Dean,‬‭it's‬‭extremely‬‭suspicious.‬‭You‬‭were‬‭talking‬‭about‬‭ethics‬‭earlier‬‭and‬‭you‬‭were‬‭talking‬‭about‬ ‭trust,‬‭we’re‬‭the‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭business‬‭that‬‭people‬‭come‬‭and‬‭spend‬‭time‬‭talking‬‭to‬‭us.‬‭And‬‭for‬‭the‬‭people‬ ‭that‬‭we‬‭see‬‭coming‬‭to‬‭our‬‭shop,‬‭it's‬‭beyond‬‭the‬‭trust‬‭level.‬‭It's‬‭not‬‭even‬‭a‬‭lack‬‭of‬‭trust‬‭at‬‭this‬‭point.‬ ‭People‬‭are‬‭afraid.‬‭They're‬‭afraid‬‭to‬‭come‬‭talk‬‭to‬‭you‬‭guys.‬‭People‬‭are‬‭worried‬‭coming‬‭to‬‭you‬‭guys‬ ‭to‬‭address‬‭their‬‭concerns.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭2:‬‭Most‬‭of‬‭them‬‭are‬‭about‬‭Dean.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭1:‬‭Dean‬‭right‬‭from‬‭the‬‭beginning‬‭we've‬‭heard,‬‭he‬‭likes‬‭you‬‭or‬‭he‬ ‭doesn't‬‭like‬‭you.‬‭I'm‬‭sorry,‬‭this‬‭is‬‭a‬‭2‬‭tier‬‭system.‬‭He‬‭likes‬‭you,‬‭you‬‭can‬‭do‬‭whatever‬‭you‬‭want.‬‭Even‬ ‭some‬‭electricians‬‭can‬‭do‬‭whatever‬‭they‬‭want.‬‭Or‬‭you‬‭cannot‬‭do‬‭anything.‬‭So,‬‭we‬‭send‬‭him‬‭an‬ ‭answer‬‭and‬‭we‬‭don’t‬‭get‬‭anything‬‭back‬‭so‬‭might‬‭as‬‭well‬‭as‬‭bring‬‭it‬‭to‬‭the‬‭board.‬‭Are‬‭we‬‭going‬‭to‬‭get‬ ‭back‬‭stabbed‬‭by‬‭Dean?‬‭Are‬‭we‬‭going‬‭to‬‭feel‬‭the‬‭heat‬‭from‬‭it?‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭We‬‭used‬‭to‬‭have‬‭a‬‭place‬‭over‬‭here‬‭that‬‭tables‬‭out‬‭and‬‭they‬‭came‬‭every‬‭year‬‭to‬‭get‬ ‭the‬‭permit.‬‭I‬‭do‬‭know‬‭that‬‭the‬‭law‬‭states‬‭there‬‭needs‬‭to‬‭be‬‭a‬‭permit,‬‭board‬‭needs‬‭to‬‭approve‬‭it‬ ‭because‬‭part‬‭of‬‭its‬‭handicapped‬‭accessible,‬‭people‬‭walking‬‭by,‬‭how‬‭big‬‭the‬‭tables‬‭are.‬‭It‬‭was‬‭not‬‭just‬ ‭the‬‭table‬‭being‬‭there‬‭and‬‭that‬‭people‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭you‬‭to‬‭be‬‭there.‬‭I've‬‭always‬‭wanted‬‭tables‬‭on‬‭Main‬ ‭Street.‬‭I‬‭love‬‭that‬‭look.‬‭But‬‭there‬‭is‬‭a‬‭process‬‭that‬‭we‬‭go‬‭through.‬‭Not‬‭sticking‬‭up‬‭for‬‭anybody‬‭in‬‭the‬ ‭Building‬‭Department.‬‭I’m‬‭just‬‭saying‬‭what‬‭the‬‭process‬‭is.‬‭At‬‭the‬‭comp‬‭plan‬‭meeting‬‭just‬‭talked‬ ‭about‬‭that‬‭a‬‭couple‬‭nights‬‭ago.‬‭About‬‭changing‬‭some‬‭of‬‭that.‬‭That‬‭may‬‭come‬‭before‬‭the‬‭board‬ ‭shortly‬‭about‬‭tables‬‭and‬‭what‬‭constitutes‬‭food‬‭and‬‭what‬‭doesn't‬‭and‬‭who‬‭has‬‭to‬‭pay.‬‭Because‬ ‭Sweeney’s‬‭pays.‬‭They're‬‭outside‬‭every‬‭year.‬‭So,‬‭there's‬‭things‬‭that‬‭the‬‭comp‬‭plan‬‭is‬‭talking‬‭about‬ ‭that‬‭may‬‭benefit‬‭the‬‭whole‬‭village.‬‭What‬‭we’ll‬‭do‬‭is‬‭talk‬‭to‬‭the‬‭manager,‬‭do‬‭some‬‭due‬‭diligence‬‭on‬ ‭our‬‭end‬‭and‬‭see‬‭what's‬‭happening.‬ ‭Ker‬‭Market‬‭Representative‬‭1:‬‭Appreciate‬‭it.‬‭Last‬‭comment‬‭I‬‭will‬‭say‬‭that‬‭$100‬‭per‬‭business‬‭is‬‭not‬ ‭going‬‭to‬‭make‬‭or‬‭break‬‭your‬‭budget.‬‭But‬‭for‬‭a‬‭small‬‭business‬‭owner‬‭paying‬‭$100‬‭a‬‭year‬‭to‬‭try‬‭to‬ ‭make‬‭the‬‭village‬‭look‬‭more‬‭welcoming‬‭and‬‭better‬‭looking,‬‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭it‬‭would‬‭be‬‭really‬ ‭appreciated‬‭if‬‭you‬‭guys‬‭could‬‭not‬‭charge‬‭$100.‬‭The‬‭approval‬‭process‬‭I‬‭understand.‬‭You‬‭don't‬‭want‬ ‭the‬‭tables‬‭to‬‭be‬‭too‬‭wide,‬‭too‬‭big,‬‭too‬‭bulky.‬‭I‬‭understand‬‭that‬‭but‬‭the‬‭$100‬‭fee,‬‭to‬‭me‬‭is‬‭a‬‭little‬ ‭steep.‬‭There‬‭are‬‭other‬‭things‬‭on‬‭Main‬‭Street‬‭that‬‭could‬‭be‬‭addressed.‬‭Next‬‭to‬‭us‬‭we‬‭have‬‭a‬‭pizza‬ ‭joint‬‭that's‬‭been‬‭closed‬‭for‬‭years.‬‭The‬‭old‬‭canopy‬‭that‬‭is‬‭dirty,‬‭ripped.‬‭If‬‭you‬‭want‬‭the‬‭street‬‭to‬‭look‬ ‭like‬‭a‬‭ghetto,‬‭you‬‭have‬‭an‬‭empty‬‭store‬‭with‬‭canopy‬‭that‬‭is‬‭all‬‭ripped‬‭and‬‭dirty.‬ ‭*Continued‬‭discussion‬‭about‬‭old‬‭sign‬‭on‬‭their‬‭building*‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭would‬‭really‬‭like‬‭to‬‭hear‬‭from‬‭our‬‭Building‬‭Department,‬‭as‬‭well.‬‭Not‬‭that‬‭we're‬ ‭not‬‭trusting‬‭you,‬‭but‬‭I‬‭just‬‭think‬‭that's‬‭fair‬‭to‬‭everyone.‬‭That's‬‭how‬‭I‬‭feel‬‭about‬‭it.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭And‬‭just‬‭to‬‭make‬‭sure,‬‭they‬‭still‬‭need‬‭the‬‭application‬‭with‬‭the‬‭sketch‬‭where‬‭you‬ ‭are‬‭putting‬‭the‬‭tables‬‭and‬‭chairs.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭If‬‭you‬‭could‬‭give‬‭it‬‭to‬‭the‬‭clerk,‬‭Marisa,‬‭your‬‭drawing,‬‭she'll‬‭put‬‭it‬‭in‬‭our‬‭packet‬ ‭for‬‭the‬‭meeting.‬‭The‬‭Friday‬‭before‬‭the‬‭meeting,‬‭so‬‭it's‬‭going‬‭to‬‭be‬‭by‬‭the‬‭13‬‭th‬‭.‬ ‭Payment‬‭of‬‭Audited‬‭Bills‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson‬‭made‬‭a‬‭motion‬‭to‬‭approve‬‭payment‬‭of‬‭audited‬‭bills.‬‭Seconded‬‭by‬‭Trustee‬ ‭Baker.‬‭All‬‭ayes.‬‭Motion‬‭carried.‬ ‭19‬ ‭Correspondence‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭sent‬‭all‬‭my‬‭correspondence‬‭to‬‭the‬‭board.‬‭Had‬‭a‬‭couple‬‭complaints.‬ ‭Miscellaneous‬‭Comments‬‭from‬‭the‬‭Board‬‭of‬‭Trustees‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Baker:‬‭It‬‭was‬‭a‬‭great‬‭Memorial‬‭Day.‬‭It‬‭was‬‭a‬‭beautiful‬‭day,‬‭no‬‭rain.‬‭Mother‬‭Nature‬ ‭decided‬‭to‬‭cooperate‬‭with‬‭us‬‭so‬‭it‬‭was‬‭great‬‭to‬‭see‬‭the‬‭participation.‬‭We‬‭have‬‭our‬‭Flag‬‭Day‬‭coming‬ ‭up,‬‭June‬‭8‭t‬h‬‭.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭1‬‭o'clock‬‭at‬‭Veterans‬‭Memorial‬‭Park.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭Just‬‭to‬‭reiterate,‬‭Memorial‬‭Day,‬‭yes,‬‭I‬‭did‬‭make‬‭it‬‭up‬‭the‬‭hill.‬‭I‬‭know‬‭there‬‭was‬‭a‬ ‭lot‬‭of‬‭speculation‬‭relevant‬‭to‬‭that.‬‭As‬‭long‬‭as‬‭it‬‭keeps‬‭showing‬‭up,‬‭the‬‭PD‬‭commitment‬‭to‬‭village‬ ‭functions.‬‭High‬‭level‬‭visibility‬‭that‬‭I‬‭see‬‭on‬‭a‬‭regular‬‭basis.‬‭It's‬‭just‬‭a‬‭wonderful‬‭thing‬‭to‬‭see.‬ ‭Nobody's‬‭out‬‭looking‬‭to‬‭make‬‭it‬‭a‬‭revenue‬‭generating‬‭process,‬‭but‬‭just‬‭the‬‭comfort‬‭level‬‭that‬‭we‬‭get‬ ‭by‬‭seeing‬‭our‬‭Police‬‭Department‬‭totally‬‭involved‬‭with‬‭the‬‭community.‬‭1‬‭quick‬‭question‬‭and‬‭I'll‬‭just‬ ‭digress‬‭and‬‭it's‬‭for‬‭the‬‭weight‬‭limit‬‭on‬‭trucks,‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭people‬‭are‬‭getting‬‭their‬‭pools‬‭filled,‬‭what's‬‭the‬ ‭story‬‭on‬‭those‬‭big‬‭water‬‭tanks?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭think‬‭the‬‭exceptions‬‭are‬‭for‬‭local‬‭delivery.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭That's‬‭why‬‭I'm‬‭asking.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭to‬‭be‬‭the‬‭guy‬‭raising‬‭the‬‭issue‬‭about‬‭somebody‬ ‭filling‬‭their‬‭pool‬‭because‬‭I‬‭get‬‭that,‬‭but‬‭it‬‭has‬‭been‬‭brought‬‭to‬‭my‬‭attention‬‭as‬‭somebody‬‭asked‬‭me‬ ‭that‬‭question.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I'm‬‭going‬‭to‬‭announce‬‭this‬‭to‬‭the‬‭public,‬‭the‬‭rate‬‭being‬‭paid‬‭for‬‭the‬‭gallons‬‭of‬ ‭water‬‭that‬‭they‬‭get‬‭from‬‭a‬‭truck‬‭is‬‭way‬‭higher‬‭than‬‭if‬‭it's‬‭just‬‭a‬‭random‬‭hose‬‭from‬‭your‬‭house.‬‭They‬ ‭can‬‭get‬‭a‬‭waiver‬‭for‬‭the‬‭sewer‬‭portion‬‭if‬‭they‬‭want‬‭and‬‭it's‬‭slower,‬‭but‬‭it's‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭cheaper.‬‭I‬‭asked‬‭the‬ ‭attorney‬‭to‬‭check‬‭if‬‭there's‬‭any‬‭exceptions‬‭for‬‭that.‬‭I'm‬‭not‬‭sure,‬‭he's‬‭gonna‬‭check‬‭though.‬ ‭Deputy‬‭Mayor‬‭Thompson:‬‭Do‬‭we‬‭have‬‭residents‬‭that‬‭can‬‭get‬‭a‬‭discounted‬‭rate‬‭if‬‭they‬‭use‬‭village‬ ‭water‬‭for‬‭their‬‭pool?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭They‬‭could‬‭give‬‭me‬‭a‬‭waiver‬‭of‬‭the‬‭sewer‬‭portion.‬‭They're‬‭paying‬‭less‬‭per‬ ‭gallon‬‭using‬‭our‬‭water‬‭even‬‭with‬‭the‬‭sewer‬‭already‬‭on‬‭top‬‭of‬‭it.‬‭I‬‭know‬‭what‬‭they‬‭charge‬‭for‬ ‭delivery‬‭truck.‬ ‭Attorney‬‭Cordisco:‬‭The‬‭exception‬‭only‬‭applies‬‭to‬‭fuel‬‭delivery‬‭trucks.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Taylor:‬‭Good‬‭to‬‭know,‬‭but‬‭it‬‭still‬‭makes‬‭me‬‭question‬‭the‬‭weight‬‭limit‬‭because‬‭of‬‭the‬‭lateral‬ ‭issue.‬‭It's‬‭always‬‭going‬‭to‬‭come‬‭up.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭They're‬‭not‬‭accepted,‬‭so‬‭if‬‭you‬‭see‬‭one,‬‭let‬‭the‬‭police‬‭know.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭National‬‭Night‬‭Out,‬‭I‬‭haven’t‬‭heard‬‭anything.‬‭Are‬‭we‬‭doing‬‭it,‬‭not‬‭doing‬‭it?‬‭It's‬‭in‬ ‭August.‬‭Has‬‭if‬‭it‬‭started?‬‭Is‬‭there‬‭a‬‭committee?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬‭I’ll‬‭ask‬‭the‬‭chief‬‭if‬‭there’s‬‭a‬‭committee.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭We‬‭talked‬‭about‬‭the‬‭bluestone‬‭going‬‭to‬‭Wooster.‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭Yes.‬ ‭20‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Where‬‭is‬‭Ulster‬‭Ave‬‭2‬‭lot‬‭subdivision?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭On‬‭the‬‭left.‬‭The‬‭house‬‭that‬‭was‬‭2‬‭houses,‬‭that‬‭combined‬‭to‬‭1‬‭house‬‭first‬‭for‬ ‭those‬‭people.‬‭They‬‭are‬‭separating‬‭it‬‭back‬‭to‬‭2‬‭houses.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I‬‭did‬‭hear‬‭from‬‭somebody‬‭about‬‭the‬‭water‬‭runoff‬‭on‬‭Coldenham‬‭Rd.‬‭Mud‬‭and‬ ‭water.‬‭Are‬‭they‬‭back‬‭up‬‭and‬‭running‬‭and‬‭working?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭No.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭Do‬‭they‬‭have‬‭the‬‭right‬‭silt‬‭fencing‬‭and‬‭all‬‭the‬‭right‬‭stuff?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭They‬‭were‬‭cited‬‭for‬‭that.‬‭I‬‭actually‬‭took‬‭the‬‭picture‬‭and‬‭sent‬‭them‬‭around‬‭on‬ ‭Saturday.‬‭It‬‭filled‬‭Olley‬‭Park.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭I’ve‬‭had‬‭a‬‭couple‬‭complaints‬‭about‬‭phones‬‭and‬‭can't‬‭get‬‭a‬‭call‬‭into‬‭the‬‭village.‬‭I‬ ‭talked‬‭to‬‭Marisa‬‭today.‬‭I‬‭had‬‭an‬‭email‬‭from‬‭someone,‬‭it‬‭goes‬‭to‬‭a‬‭voicemail‬‭and‬‭then‬‭it‬‭gets‬‭cut‬‭off.‬ ‭I‬‭know‬‭Marisa‬‭is‬‭working‬‭on‬‭it.‬‭Flag‬‭Day,‬‭June‬‭8‭t‬h‬ ‭at‬‭Veterans‬‭Memorial‬‭Park.‬‭Hope‬‭you‬‭all‬‭can‬ ‭come.‬‭Memorial‬‭Day‬‭Parade‬‭was‬‭awesome.‬‭Thank‬‭you‬‭all‬‭for‬‭showing‬‭up.‬‭It‬‭was‬‭just‬‭very‬‭nice‬‭to‬ ‭be‬‭included‬‭and‬‭being‬‭there.‬‭The‬‭church‬‭sleepover,‬‭did‬‭we‬‭finish‬‭with‬‭that?‬ ‭Building‬‭Inspector‬‭Wallner:‬‭We’re‬‭still‬‭working‬‭on‬‭it.‬ ‭Mayor‬‭Pearson:‬‭1‬‭other‬‭correspondence‬‭and‬‭I‬‭think‬‭we‬‭all‬‭got‬‭it‬‭from‬‭Mrs.‬‭Robinson‬‭on‬‭Maple‬‭St.‬ ‭Are‬‭we‬‭dealing‬‭with‬‭that?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭There's‬‭2‬‭different‬‭things‬‭going‬‭on‬‭there.‬ ‭Trustee‬‭Mishk:‬‭Is‬‭it‬‭true‬‭there's‬‭no‬‭electricity‬‭there?‬ ‭Manager‬‭Revella:‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know‬‭that.‬ ‭Mayor‬ ‭Pearson:‬ ‭The‬ ‭Maybrook‬ ‭parade‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬ ‭100th‬ ‭anniversary.‬ ‭I‬ ‭would‬ ‭like‬ ‭to‬ ‭invite‬ ‭all‬ ‭the‬ ‭departments‬ ‭of‬‭Walden.‬‭If‬‭they‬‭want‬‭to‬‭come.‬‭Can‬‭we‬‭do‬‭that?‬‭I‬‭did‬‭say‬‭that‬‭we‬‭were‬‭going‬‭to‬‭be‬ ‭there‬‭they‬‭would‬‭like‬‭to‬‭know‬‭a‬‭head‬‭count.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭for‬‭July‬‭11th‬‭but‬‭I‬‭think‬‭if‬‭we‬‭could‬‭have‬‭a‬‭big‬ ‭showing‬‭from‬‭Walden‬‭with‬‭all‬‭the‬‭departments‬‭and‬‭people‬‭just‬‭to‬‭say‬‭congratulations‬‭to‬‭Maybrook.‬ ‭I‬‭think‬‭that‬‭would‬‭be‬‭awesome.‬‭If‬‭we‬‭can‬‭get‬‭that‬‭out‬‭to‬‭all‬‭the‬‭departments‬‭and‬‭maybe‬‭get‬‭t-shirts‬ ‭made.‬‭Maybe‬‭2‬‭flags,‬‭1‬‭they‬‭can‬‭keep‬‭that‬‭says‬‭congratulations‬‭Maybrook‬‭and‬‭give‬‭1‬‭of‬‭those‬‭flags‬ ‭out‬‭to‬‭the‬‭people‬‭in‬‭Maybrook.‬‭That‬‭would‬‭be‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭cool.‬
