Rizo yes Mr scagno yes Mr Singh yes and chairman Sullivan yes uh before we go on to the adoptions I'd like to make one comment uh I'd like to thank Mr scagno who has served uh Faithfully for the uh as the uh Secretary of the board and if you if you think doing the reading is a lot uh he's got to run into the uh building several times probably a week to do what he does and every paper that you see is is signed by him along with every plan that I counter sign but uh he does twice the work that I do as far as signatures so I don't know if your hand got tired or but thank you very much for all you've done thank you and that was his uh choice to U step down this this year all right uh we have uh the rules and regulations for 2025 there has been no change since uh before 23 uh but for for the sake of uh the board there has been zero change since last year so would someone move them for adoption one one discussion please yes by all means I I read through the um rules and regulations and under one colon 1-5 secretary you have assistant secretary listed and here on we have Vice secretary why do you have assistant and then you have Vice it has been like this yeah I know it has been but the vice Secret AR is a higher position than assistant secretary one should be changed I believe this should be changed okay that's the secretary is a nominated position uh and a civilian uh the vice secretary is normally a person that works for the township as an employee right that's the same title uh Vice secretary no the there there's a different word in there you're saying yes this one says assistant instead of Vice he wants this it should say Vice secretary that's what we doing here if if we want to make a change to that let's do it when we uh go into a regular meeting next time around or we could uh we could adopt it with that change yeah that's what I'm saying the next uh meeting why don't we no we could adopt it tonight with the change okay would that would be your off what you're offering yes does everybody understand it yes Council you no problem there would be no problem doing that right not at all okay we just want to be clear you're going to change Vice to no out of the rules and regs we're GNA get rid of assistant and make it no problem okay uh certainly uh on the advice of council we can do this uh I'll call I guess that was your motion yes correct is there a second to that motion Chevalier I'll second it roll call please yep M Andrew yes Miss chavalier yes Mr Rizo yes Mr goog now yes Mr Singh yes chairman suvan yes okay having said that now can we go on
