We started at 4.31. My clock says 4.28. It's 4.28. I'm sorry. I am alone. 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:37.180 Why didn't somebody stop me? Stop you? Okay. Nobody stopped me. It's okay. We thought you were in charge. 00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:43.300 You are the official keeper of the record of the end of the time, so I'm making mistakes. 00:01:43.300 --> 00:02:05.180 That's okay, it happens. Are there any questions on the minutes, trustees? No. Okay. No. All righty, all in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Aye. Motion carries. The next other minutes to approve a bill's payable, and a motion is second, please. So moved. Second. Motion by honesty, second by Odendahl. Please take a look at the bill's payable. We have none for it. 00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:23.560 Just a question of curiosity, Freeport Rad 1, LLC, small amounts, what do we got going on? 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:37.560 Oh, nothing, nothing's going on. You have different people who are doing their rents at different times, so there's really nothing going on. 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.660 So like each one of those would be a different person or is it? 00:02:40.660 --> 00:02:41.260 Yeah. 00:02:41.260 --> 00:02:41.760 Yeah. 00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:42.760 Yep. 00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:43.760 Yep. 00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:50.200 Each one is a different person. 00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:55.200 And, well, that's a question about process. 00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:57.200 I'll just ask it now. 00:02:57.200 --> 00:02:58.200 Okay. 00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:05.400 So when someone's receiving benefits on an ongoing basis, do, are they kind of like month 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.200 by month saying, well, this month I'd like so much to go here and so much to go here? 00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:10.200 Yes. 00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:32.900 So we don't dictate to them where they put their grant. So someone says, we don't want to pay our rent. Okay. We don't say we have to pay rent first. You got to do this. No, we don't do that because these are adults. If we don't pay our rent and our mortgages, what happens to us? We get evicted, right? So these are adults. So they get to decide whether they spend their grant. 00:03:32.900 --> 00:04:01.620 We do have some who will pay their rent up, especially if their rent is like $6 or $12, they'll get a grant and pay their rent up for months at a time if they're living in housing. Some will do that. Others choose not to. So it's really their choice how they want to spend their grant. As long as they spend it within the categories that we have and within the places that we have available, they can spend their grants how they choose. 00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:09.820 So all of these, RAD1, that would be public housing and subsidized? 00:04:09.820 --> 00:04:12.380 That's why the amounts are so small. 00:04:12.820 --> 00:04:27.280 Because I think Brewster and Hosmer are no longer, I guess, owned by the housing authority. Freeport, RAD1, LLC are the official landlords of those properties. 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:35.360 Okie dokie. 00:04:35.640 --> 00:04:36.320 Okie dokie. 00:04:36.320 --> 00:05:11.410 Another question? No? All right. Any more questions or claims or demands? Not a question. Well, never mind. I'll say this for, um, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's probably better for, um, um, trustee comments. Gotcha. Okay. So are there any more questions or claims or demands? No. No. Are you sure, trustee? Well, I'm sure. Okay. Related to bills payable. Related to bills payable. Okay. Now, of course, please follow the roll. 00:05:11.410 --> 00:05:40.850 Wilken? Aye. McIlwain? Aye. Altensey? Aye. Odendahl? Aye. Sellers? Aye. Motion passes. Motion passes. The next little bit is the supervisor's report and I am still collecting numbers for what all we've done with the food pantries and the food banks. I'm still collecting numbers from the 00:05:41.410 --> 00:06:08.690 actual organizations. I know that I did speak with Golden Mills downtown and they served over 110,000 units of food with the funding that we provided them and that's for I think they do 870 something meals every day here in this area. 00:06:08.690 --> 00:06:37.230 So, put those numbers together and they sent us how much, how many units of food that they provided and that was the number. So, that was great. And, you know, we did 3,200 families with Salvation Army. I'm waiting to hear back for an exact number from Joseph's Pantry and the exact numbers from who else did we provide? 00:06:38.690 --> 00:06:43.670 I'm drawing a blank, but I'm waiting to get all the exact numbers. I want to give you guys the exact numbers. 00:06:43.810 --> 00:06:45.010 Because we had three, right? 00:06:45.070 --> 00:06:53.030 Yes. I don't want to give you guys estimates when you guys exact numbers. So they're getting those numbers and they're going to give them to us. So I'll have those for you guys. Now, questions? 00:06:55.400 --> 00:07:01.760 Nope. Let's look forward to the official numbers when you get them. 00:07:01.760 --> 00:07:07.720 All right. All right. All right. Next sort of business is the, do I have anything to hand out? The assessor's report. 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:23.540 So, I do have a job opening in the office. I have published that out on Indeed. There's a job posting out there as well as on the Township Facebook page and Township website. So, if you know of anybody. 00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:26.900 What kind of background do they have to have? 00:07:26.900 --> 00:07:50.040 Well, it would, we need somebody that's fluent in Excel and Word, and if they have some background in real estate, it would be helpful, so, but they could read the full posting on Indeed or on the Township webpage as well as the Facebook website 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:51.160 Okay, thank you 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.780 All right 00:07:53.780 --> 00:07:54.380 That's it 00:07:54.380 --> 00:07:56.820 Okay, next up is trustees report, trustees 00:07:56.820 --> 00:08:11.460 Yeah, just wanted to give a, just a shout out to Cup Foods, mainly because they're the only grocery store that takes our grants 00:08:11.460 --> 00:08:17.820 So just want to, I just want to say, you know, just publicly thank them for that 00:08:17.820 --> 00:08:47.800 because that is providing a vehicle to our you know to those who use our programs yes no way to purchase food and unfortunately they're the only store in town doing that so yeah it used to be Walmart didn't it people save a lot that's right okay they wouldn't save a lot yeah because we we asked around other places wouldn't 00:08:47.800 --> 00:09:15.900 and they were like, would I set up for a voucher system? So I guess we went and talked to Cubs and they were like, absolutely. And so they were set up for a voucher system and it was a smooth transition and it's been a very great relationship, you know, for so far. They actually make sure that the vouchers are authentic with the raised stamp seal on it. 00:09:15.900 --> 00:09:25.240 and if they have any questions, they will call us instantly with any questions. So we have a good relationship with them and we would like to keep that relationship going. 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:26.240 That's great. 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:27.240 Yeah. 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:32.240 So that was my comment. That's why I figured I was probably better suited for public comments. 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:43.560 Oh, okay. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yep. Trustees, anything else? It's trustees report, trustees report. Okay. Next order has been in public comments. Any public comments? 00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:59.640 I just want to piggyback off of what you guys have been saying about the food pantries and everything like that. There was also talk in the community about the school district. 00:09:59.640 --> 00:10:28.000 about the school district having breakfast and yes they do have lunches for kids they also have them for families as well the families have to pay for them though so that's kind of a hindrance and they're at specific times and not easily accessible locations for everyone so I appreciate that you guys are still continuing to support the food pantries that are in little pocket locations 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.980 of our community that are providing for the citizens. So thank you guys. 00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:40.900 Is it okay if I ask him for clarification for my minutes or not? 00:10:42.180 --> 00:10:42.860 Pardon me? 00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:45.780 Is it okay if I ask him for clarification for my minutes? 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.140 As long as the presiding officer does object. 00:10:49.800 --> 00:10:50.200 No, I don't. 00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:59.480 All right. Just for my minutes for clarification. You said they do have lunches. Is it during the summertime that we're talking? 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:29.460 Yes, it is during the summertime. They have breakfast and I believe lunch. I cannot give you specific times. I don't know. So they do have breakfast? Right. And the main point that I'm getting at is that the reason why some kids get the benefit of breakfast and lunch during the school day is because they have transportation to the school. So it's not always easily accessible and it's not provided for the community without a monetary 00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:42.400 fee as well. So I appreciate that you guys are continuing to put forth efforts to support 00:11:42.400 --> 00:11:48.720 the food pantries and other accessible locations for food obtainability. 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.300 Okay, thank you. 00:11:54.420 --> 00:11:55.500 Any other public comments? 00:11:55.500 --> 00:12:21.840 So moved. Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Meeting is adjourned. Thank you all.
