not seeing any public comment we'll close the public comment portion and move into the caucus work session first we have polling location change for districts six and seven so um a couple of meetings back I mentioned to everyone that the Board of
Elections had contacted me um I guess in hopes of exploring the option of moving District six and seven out of Glen View school I think I mentioned that over the years we've attempted to do this um in the past and think it's in the best interest of the schools and everybody to
do that it has been improved by the Board of Elections um so districts six and seven again which were in Glen viw Avenue School will now be in the community center and we're going to move District three which is currently in the
community center over to the cabin so um that's been approved by the Board of Elections um we've made the changes on the website uh we will make sure that we have uh signed AG um at at Glen viw
Avenue School um all of the um ballots will have the new locations printed on them however you know not everybody looks at that they're used to going to their to their old location so we'll just we'll do everything we can to make sure that the public is aware everything
will be on the website well in advance uh we actually have everything up on the website now but we'll we'll make sure we're closer to the election that it's communicated as well as possible it'll be in the Heights report and so we've done this before where we've moved and really it's been seamless we really
didn't have any any problems really you know somebody might go there and then they see where they have to go and they go but you know it usually takes that one time did the Board of Elections also agree to send out notice K the change they normally will um they didn't tell
me that I just know that they uh usually printed on their um on the sample ballots so maybe they will a lot of times when they changing you can convince them if you ask yeah can I'll ask give another layer of coming from
them coming from us you right right I'll certainly do that yep and that was all I wanted wonderful thank you uh next we have the senior group appointment to Camy County Department of Health and Human Services Division of senior and
disabled services uh to their Municipal coordinator Association so um councilman Addison uh was liaisoning a bit with some of um the seniors that had come in here interested in starting a senior committee um within the or within the community um Heights is kind of blacked
one or like had an ad hoc one I would say for for a number of years um and just trying to help them formalize that to create an Outreach for all of our seniors here in the community not just the ones that are congregated at in our senior housing like Stanfield Towers but throughout the community so I met with
um several ladies uh Mary um Mary dner Sandy Duncan uh Lissa will U Wilson and Lucia Davis U so I met those ladies the other day um we're gonna point the four of them uh there's no limit on who how many you will point to this Municipal
coordinator Association but they H they hold monthly meetings over in the burough barington it's hosted by the county um and really it's just a networking for sharing of ideas there's typically presentations and a Shar of resources that are available to the seniors our
seniors are meeting now every Friday in um down in the community center and um they uh they're really eager to get started I worked with uh Mike manord to make sure we have a little bit of a budget for them to work with they're going to coordinate um some of the
logistics through the barrel Hall here to make a little bit more of a seamless process and councilman Haron has uh also jumped on and connected them with a few Services uh that she know of so we're really looking forward to trying to grow this program uh we know there's a few challenges we have right out of the gate
like uh attracting more men to come to the program and participate uh so that's just you know just one of of many but we're excited there's a lot of opportunities and we're going to try to do a little bit of networking across with the school district um and some of the other resources that exist here the
businesses in town so uh excited for that is it on that item um we can I think as we get the year Rolling we definitely could look at some opportunities for grants that are that exist out there for them um the county
has a number of um items that are available to you know to seniors that they're going to help um help us navigate the process for us so I think that's you know one and I one of them actually we spoke about it at the mayor's meeting this past month was and I wasn't aware of this but the county
offers for example free wills free power of attorney and free um living Wills to all seniors over the age of 65 um uh the s's office um which is awesome that's something I I never even knew
that you know our seniors could take advantage of so um that's something again that's the type of information we're definitely going to try to reach out and all these yeah we did work today I I spoke to the liaison at the county and um worked with Kelly and putting a
letter together to go to the county nominating those four individual ual that it's a mayor's appointment so there's no it's very informal there's no need for any formal action taken but that letter together and ready to roll right C beautiful you got the email

to highlight a couple things um Al for bid now is a on call maintenance contract uh bid opening will be next week um if we get favorable bids we'll be able to award this contract at the next council meeting uh basic the the general idea of this contract is for uh
larger scope maintenance issues that come up uh that are above our dpw's capabilities so uh things come up that we need an on call maintenance uh contractor to come out and take care of those projects we'll have them uh on the
books is it fair to say that it by H by having such a contract we won't be at the mercy of uh contractors taking advantage of us in an emergency situation so we secure lower prices correct we're getting ahead of that idea
of if emergency pops up we have to go out for contractors numbers that are usually on the higher side so those will all get in front of that thank you y uh and second is the fiscal year 2023 l hofs park this is all accessible playground equipment that has been
installed um the DPW is coordinating some accessibility uh improvements sidewalks things of that nature so as the weather gets better those things will be uh completed but the general the equipment and the and the molch is in and ready to go so thank you uh and
