the tower ladder crew, I guess you can say, flew out to visit the truck in progress in Wisconsin, inspecting the ladder truck. They found 138 minor items that need to be corrected prior to shipping the
truck. And as of today, the truck is actually on route between Wisconsin and here. Once it arrives here, I understand they'll go through a quick inspection that gets shipped up to a vendor in North Jersey to have a number of pieces of equipment installed once you return
to here. And uh they're looking at they're working with the vendor to update medicine website. And probably one of the more interesting things that was mentioned at the last meeting, private, the car commission has

see our youngsters there in September and everything like that. Also, you know, I was doing a little research on this. I think the scams are really I think you have to be careful with everything you have. And one of the suggestions was with your immediate family to have a code system like um
they copy your voice, they can copy your voice and everything. And one of the things to have a code like say uh me and my wife would use my dog's tools name. She pulled up and asked for my rounding number and her account number, but it was light fuzzy everything you could understand. So you ask for a code word.
So we say, "Okay, what's the code word?" She would have to tell me to the person doesn't know the name. She doesn't know the code word. you don't give them the information and these scams are are vag this this technology is really catching
on these scams are really good that's all thank you this month we conducted one reading of the history I received five community members submissions contributing to our archive
efforts and once again we invite anyone interested in contributing or joining our study group to um get in contact with me. We took a short break in June and we have a Zoom meeting. That's all for now. Thank you.
Thank you, Mayor. Uh okay. So unfortunat due to some unfortunate circumstances the uh concert this Friday has been cancelled for anyone that's disappointed wanted to go to a concert. There will be one tomorrow in Somerdale
featuring the Chicago 8 which is a tribute to the legendary Chicago. Uh that concert will begin 6:30 p.m. in sorry passenante
park 300 Kennedy Boulevard summer. Um we will still have our movie you know weather permitting July 25th we have Moana 2. Uh the pre-show starts around 7:30. Movie starts at night.
Uh, and we have August 8th, we have the car show concert um featuring N that's at the ballpark and that will begin at 6 p.m. That's all I have to say. Thank you. All right, it's time to open meeting to
the public. Okay. When the public wish to speak, please come to the microphone. State your name and address for the record. My favorite house in my neighborhood. Still piles and piles of trash and garments and junk. Driveway. Couldn't fit another junk car. They try
to sell the way out the street. People come and go and live in there for months and other people come and live in there and pushing junk cars up and down the street trying to get they got an eviction notice in September. I don't truly understand how
they're able to still live there. I know it's it's not priority. I get it. I understand. But it's still and yet and I totally understand what you're talking about. I told you what
I'm going through, but um I will move into it again tomorrow. I'll be going for tomorrow going through bunch of different things there. Um but I will look into it tomorrow. I will get back to you. Thank you. Anyone
else in the public? 637th Avenue. Mayor, I know we had an ordinance for political signs being out and there's a fine after a certain time. Why is the signs still all over the world? Is he being fined for that? Because they're not down.
I have no clue. They're everywhere. I can't find out who put them up. Well, obviously needs people to put them up. They're like on major roads in our town. But what I'm asking you is because we
had order fines. Are we fine in Sweden for that? There's nothing you find. You should still have to pay. Yes, you should. Okay. My only thing was last week they said the hours changed. Yes. That they're not working Fridays.
So they're working an extra hour during the week. So they're getting paid for an extra four hours if they're not working. Is that how that works? Their office is open 8 to 5. They aren't here 36 hours.
Yeah, they work. They work 35 hour work. And my other thing is every day there's a dog in our town. It's time I found one on Lake Boulevard. family didn't even
know his dog was missing. When the cops are involved in an animal control, then they go to homework. Now, do you guys get a list of these dogs that are loose? And how are we tracking to see if they're
registered? Are we calling them? Because I get the call all the time in my house about my laws, but they're deceased. So, they're not being registered. I sent it in saying they're deceased. So we calling the people that you know when these balls are loose. You have to get a
report. I get a list from county of people. Not any of those. I don't know who they are. I don't know where they go. They don't give me a list of that. They just give me a list of it. It says undetermined.
So that one of it's not care. That's But the thing is you call my gas for my dog. We call everybody who has to be renewed for their licenses. If you didn't notify her the dog is deceased.
I said the things back deceased and I still get the call. Anyone else in the public? Um, I just want to tell you I'm very excited that we are finally getting sidewalks to the high school. I'm very very happy about that
grant, but thank you to whoever that children are grown now, but I appreciate the fact that these other children. Um, the second thing is um this is the next form of books online and I actually read
through the of responsibility which I think is a great idea that we hold parents accountable for their children especially these days. I just have one little issue. Um I didn't write it down. There's a section that talks about
morale. I really think you need to be clear about that morale there because my morality might not be your morality that might not we just we discussed that tonight. This is only the first reading. It's a second reading. Some of those there's a
couple of little things we're going to Okay, that's it. Anyone else wish to speak? came first across area.
Use the microphone please. Excuse me. Could you use the microphone, please? How's that? Can't hear it. It's across from the mailbox on Scott Avenue and it's over
and it's getting worse and worse on so you have to call for that. 566 298. I still talking about a tree on cheese landing road. A what?
Tree on cheese landing road. What was that? 566. 298. That's it. That's highway department. Okay. Thank you for Yes. Okay. So my question and this previously
but I didn't see it in the minutes that were posted citizen so I'd like to question as you know has a highpanic population and we all know what's happening and
innocent people including citizens are being swept off of streets without due process. It's now known fact that impersonators with fake IDs, one of which was identified as a sex trafficker for
taking people away. So, I'd like to know what is the council and our police department's position to protect our Hispanic and non-Hispanic residents from being kidnapped by next unidentified so-called government police
and ICE agents. We follow the state ordinances and state law. What does that mean? If ICE comes through, you have to go through and read the state ordinances and state law. If ICE comes through, we're not helping. We
don't do anything. We can't stop them. So, you're saying that people have no right for protection if I can't do anything for the federal government. I can't go against the federal I can't even go against the state. I can't get a man who's having
parties in in my neighborhood arrested for having these parties. I can't. The state has laws and we have to follow the state law unfortunately and that state laws that the local police have no authority to protect the
people that they cannot interfere. Well suppose I myself ma'am these are all hypothetical questions I'm asking you can I call the police to ask somebody if somebody if somebody comes to you and
says they're ICE and they want to arrest you. No, I'm asking you that if I protect someone, if you protect somebody, Yes. If our landscapers come and I see ice and I ask them to come in for a glass of water, do I have protection? Do you have protection? Not from not
from federal agents. No. If you if you were if you Yes. If you were harboring a a criminal or anybody that I happens to be going after, you will become liable for that.
I guess state depends on the state. Three quick things. Can you detail at all what the change order is for related to it? Uh yeah, that was where there was a lot
of extra uh sidewalks, driveways, and some pavement. Um and put in some extra uh handicap ramps. Um basically the uh the grant exceeded what the contract had bid
on. So we had the opportunity to add a lot more construction items without affecting the borrow because it's all funded by the state. Um and now I'm just going to throw this out there to Linda on the both items. I
think public work still offers the availability to sign up online as well as calling. So, I just want to throw that out there. You don't have to necessarily call. There's a place online you can sign up. And I was going to ask you, is there a flyer available for that show?
I do have um I just Okay, no worries. I'll follow up with you. Thank you. Anyone else? All favor. Motion carries. Thank you.
