We started at 431. 00:01:19.420 --> 00:01:21.420 My clock says 428. 00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:22.420 It's 428. 00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:24.420 I'm sorry, I am lone. 00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:30.420 Why didn't somebody stop me? 00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:34.420 Nobody stopped me! 00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:38.420 We thought you were in charge. 00:01:38.420 --> 00:01:42.420 You are the official keeper of the record. 00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:46.420 I know I made mistakes. 00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:50.420 Are there any questions on the minutes, trustees? 00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:52.420 No. 00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:53.420 Aye. 00:01:53.420 --> 00:01:54.420 Aye. 00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:55.420 Any opposed? 00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:56.420 Motion carries. 00:01:56.420 --> 00:01:58.980 The next item is the approval of Bill Pebble and the motion has seconded please. 00:01:58.980 --> 00:01:59.980 So moved. 00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:00.980 Seconded. 00:02:00.980 --> 00:02:01.980 Motion by Altensey, seconded by Odendahl. 00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:04.980 Please take a look at the Bill Pebble. 00:02:04.980 --> 00:02:23.259 Just a question of curiosity, Freeport RAD 1 LLC, small amounts, what do we got going 00:02:23.259 --> 00:02:24.259 on? 00:02:24.259 --> 00:02:25.259 Nothing. 00:02:25.259 --> 00:02:26.259 Nothing's going on. 00:02:26.259 --> 00:02:27.259 What? 00:02:27.259 --> 00:02:37.259 You have different people who are doing their rents at different times, so it's really nothing going on. 00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:41.259 So like each one of those would be a different person or is it? 00:02:41.259 --> 00:02:43.259 Yeah. 00:02:43.259 --> 00:02:50.699 Yeah, each one is a different person. 00:02:50.699 --> 00:03:09.699 That's a question about process. I'll just ask it now. So when someone's receiving benefits on an ongoing basis, are they kind of like month by month saying, well this month I'd like so much to go here and so much to go here? 00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:19.699 So we don't dictate to them where they put their grant. So if someone says we don't want to pay our rent, okay? 00:03:19.699 --> 00:03:24.699 We don't say we have to pay rent first, you gotta do this. No, we don't do that because these are adults. 00:03:24.699 --> 00:03:29.699 If we don't pay our rent and our mortgage, it's what happens to us. We get evicted, right? So these are adults. 00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:33.699 So they get to decide whether they spend their grant. 00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:43.219 We do have some who will pay their rent up, especially if their rent is like $6 or $12, 00:03:43.219 --> 00:03:50.060 they'll get a grant and pay their rent up for months at a time if they're living in 00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:51.060 housing. 00:03:51.060 --> 00:03:52.060 Some will do that. 00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:53.060 Others choose not to. 00:03:53.060 --> 00:03:57.060 So it's really their choice how they want to spend their grant, as long as they spend 00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:59.699 it within the categories that we have and within the places that we have available, 00:03:59.699 --> 00:04:03.259 they can spend their grants how they choose. 00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:10.259 So all of these, RAD-1, that would be public housing subsidized. 00:04:10.259 --> 00:04:11.259 That's right. 00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:13.259 The amounts are so small. 00:04:13.259 --> 00:04:23.259 Because I think Brewster and Hosmer are no longer, I guess, owned by the Housing Authority. 00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:35.079 Freeport, RAD-1, LLC are the official landlords of those properties. 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:36.079 Okie dokie. 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:41.620 Okie dokie. 00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:42.620 Another question? 00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:43.620 No? 00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:45.220 Are there any more questions or claims in the man? 00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:49.399 Not a question... Well, never mind, I'll say this for um... 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.620 No, no, no, no, it's probably better for um... um... 00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:55.199 trustee comments. 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:56.860 Gotcha. Okay. 00:04:56.860 --> 00:04:58.839 So are there any more questions or claims in the man? 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.199 No. 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.009 No. 00:05:03.009 --> 00:05:04.910 Are you sure Trustee O'Connor? 00:05:04.910 --> 00:05:06.009 Well, I'm sure. 00:05:06.009 --> 00:05:07.089 Okay. 00:05:07.089 --> 00:05:09.149 Related to bill is payable. 00:05:09.149 --> 00:05:10.750 Related to bill is payable. Okay. 00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:12.129 Now I'll put these on the roll. 00:05:12.129 --> 00:05:13.649 Wilken? 00:05:13.649 --> 00:05:14.750 Aye. 00:05:14.750 --> 00:05:22.350 Mcllwain? Aye. Altensey? Aye. Odendahl? Aye. Sellers? Aye. Motion passes. Motion passes. 00:05:22.350 --> 00:05:30.709 The next little bit is the supervisor's report and I am still collecting numbers for what 00:05:30.709 --> 00:05:40.269 all we've done with the food pantries and the food banks. I'm still collecting numbers 00:05:40.269 --> 00:05:51.470 from the actual organizations. And I know that I did speak with Golden Meals downtown 00:05:51.470 --> 00:05:59.709 and they served over 110, I think, thousand units of food with the funding that we allowed 00:05:59.709 --> 00:06:07.670 that we provided them and that's for, I think they do 870-something meals every day here 00:06:07.670 --> 00:06:14.149 in this area. So put those numbers together and they sent us how many units of food they 00:06:14.149 --> 00:06:22.069 provided and that was the number. So that was great. And you know we did 3,200 families with 00:06:24.310 --> 00:06:33.509 Salvation Army. I'm waiting to hear back for an exact number from Joseph's Pantry and the exact 00:06:33.509 --> 00:06:43.509 I'm waiting to get all the exact numbers. I don't want to give you guys the exact numbers. 00:06:43.509 --> 00:06:44.509 Because we had three, right? 00:06:44.509 --> 00:06:51.509 Yes. I don't want to give you guys estimates when you have the exact numbers. So they're getting those numbers and they're going to give them to us. So I have those for you guys. 00:06:51.509 --> 00:06:53.509 Now, questions? 00:06:53.509 --> 00:06:55.980 Nope. 00:06:55.980 --> 00:07:01.480 Let's look forward to the official numbers when you get them. 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:08.480 All right, all right. All right. Next order of business is the, I don't have anything to hand out, the assessor's report. 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:24.480 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? 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.480 What kind of background does it have to have? 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:41.480 Well, we need somebody that's fluent in Excel and Word, and if they have some background in real estate, it would be helpful. 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:50.480 But they could read the full posting on Indeed or on the Township webpage as well as the Facebook website. 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.480 Okay, thank you. 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.920 Right? Okay. Next up is trustees' report. Trustees. 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:06.040 Yeah, just wanted to give a, just a shout out to Cup Foods, mainly because they're the only 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:15.959 grocery store that takes our grants. So just want to, I want to say, you know, 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:21.800 just publicly thank them for that because that is providing a vehicle to our, you know, 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:34.120 to those who use our programs, no way to purchase food and unfortunately they're the only store 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:35.399 in town doing that. 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:40.320 It used to be Walmart, didn't it? 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:41.320 It would save a lot. 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:42.320 That's right. 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:43.320 Okay. 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:49.200 It wouldn't save a lot because we asked around and other places wouldn't, you know, like 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:55.519 when I set up for a voucher system. So I guess we went and talked to Cubs and they were like, 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.679 absolutely. And so they were set up for a voucher system and it was a smooth transition and it's 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:08.879 been a very great relationship, you know, for so far. They actually make sure that 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:18.480 the vouchers are authentic with the raised stamp seal on it and if they have any questions they 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.759 they will call us instantly for any questions. 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.679 So we have a good relationship with them 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.600 and we would like to keep that relationship going. 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:26.440 That's great. 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.399 So that was my comment. 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.039 That's why I figured I was probably better suited 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.360 for public comments. 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:33.200 Oh, okay. 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.039 Thank you, thank you, thank you, yep. 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:38.080 Trustees, anything else? 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.600 It's trustees' report, trustees' report, okay. 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:42.720 Next order of business, public comments. 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:47.679 Any public comments? 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:48.919 As always, Shane Orlow. 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:55.919 I just want to piggyback off of what you guys have been saying about the food pantries and everything like that. 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:59.919 There was also talk in the community about the school district. 00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:03.360 and the community about the school district having breakfast and yes they do have lunches 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.159 for kids they also have them for families as well the families have to pay for them 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:17.200 though so that's kind of a hindrance and they're at specific times and not easily accessible 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:25.159 locations for everyone so I appreciate that you guys are still continuing to support the 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:45.659 Is it okay if I ask him for clarification for my minutes? 00:10:45.659 --> 00:10:46.659 Sure. 00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:49.659 As long as the presiding officer does object. 00:10:49.659 --> 00:10:51.659 No, I don't object. 00:10:51.659 --> 00:10:54.659 This is for my minutes for clarification. 00:10:54.659 --> 00:11:00.659 You said they do have lunches. Is it during the summertime that we're talking about? 00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:08.659 Yes, it is during the summertime. They have breakfast and I believe lunch. I cannot give you specific times. I don't know that. 00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:10.659 So they do have breakfast. 00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:21.659 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. 00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:31.659 So it's not always easily accessible and it's not provided for the community without a monetary fee as well. 00:11:31.659 --> 00:11:48.659 So I appreciate that you guys are continuing to put forth efforts to support the food pantries and other accessible locations for food obtainability. 00:11:48.659 --> 00:11:50.659 Okay, thank you. 00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:55.059 Any other public comments? 00:11:55.059 --> 00:11:59.269 Any other business comments for the town? 00:11:59.269 --> 00:12:08.620 Seeing that there is none, I will adjourn until Monday, July 20th, 2026 at 4.30pm. 00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:10.620 So moved. 00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:11.620 Second. 00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:15.180 All in favor? 00:12:15.180 --> 00:12:16.180 Aye. 00:12:16.180 --> 00:12:17.180 Aye. 00:12:17.180 --> 00:12:18.180 Any opposed? 00:12:18.180 --> 00:12:19.180 Motion carries. 00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:20.180 Meeting is adjourned. 00:12:20.180 --> 00:12:21.180 Thank you all.
