ok our first title or the agenda would be approved the minutes of the regular council meeting of january twenty seventh two thousand and fourteen move that it's be approved second  them they each provide a fee as we do to that organization not all of them necessarily provide manpower some of them are fairly small communities and it's difficult for them to provide the manpower so the other communities that participate  we have about twenty twenty three twenty four members with negotiators on these guys the certain members themselves your actual swat team they train twice a month eight hours each day  once a month for the benefit that you may not see although you see it in the reports are provided to counsel is that the certainly i'm also reaches out through the shake all group and we train everybody in each department in the same techniques and tactics that the team uses so that when we do call the team in their numbers are increased by the participants of the community that ha requested down and were on the same page we all talk the same language same signals the same tactics there's likelihood less likelihood of a screw up because somebody is on from it was something because everybody's on the same page we call them out three times here and they've done a great job and it's a nice resource to have some people were overwhelmed when we call them out because we get a response about eighteen to twenty people showing up  that situation last any extended period of time those guys will be exhausted by the time it's over if we don't have some backup support teams ready so the team functions well the shaker group reach once a month we were view any call outs to make sure they're in compliance and the activities of their call out in the resolution we review the policies and procedures that operate that team as well as the team that's under being considered right now we want to say how many who are police officers who are members we have two guys on the search team the actual tactical team we have one negotiator i would love to see it be more but i know that's not practical because it does take time away from here but i think it's a real boon to have this team in place i think it's a resource and you can only have if it's necessary it's one of those situations where you try to be things that we supply or are the typical the boots and stuff like of the stuff the guy would use on to use it is and his sidearm so there is a total spend a year there so the team you're years there's been discussion on expanding our mutual involvement in things because you need strange faces in certain situations you need people that are not identifiable in your community to do some of this type of work and that's what coordinate that team the first meeting in their corner committee is this coming week anyone this participating or plans to participate has to have a representative of dead mean the idea in this team is a little bit different we hope to pull our manpower from on duty people rather than over time issues people that have enough people working you can sacrifice one guy to help on a detail that's hopefully the way this thing will be staff unless it's a very involved investigation we're planning on doing as some things that we do internally here and this is the guy initiate an investigation say a guy makes a drug bust and it looks like it's going to develop into something more that officer is going to stay involved in that case it's good for him it's good for his enthusiasm to see where this thing can go and how to play it so that that's a part of this program it's not only for drugs i was for drugs prostitution burglary whatever a community might have where they might need some help and it mirrors i should say mirrors but you might say that it's working i should say that not at all because that will tick people off there's been a movement for years about regionalizing police forces and this is probably a way to at least temporarily avoid death by you lies in the resources of all the communities together to solve problems because regionalization is a difficult task  i don't like to lose their their army but i've been through enough of those and it's difficult to regionalize police forces but i think at some point in time it's going to become the way the world because it's just too expensive everybody especially some of these small communities to fund these organizations for that kind of money it takes in the equipment and is it accurate to say right now there's no it's additional associated dues involved with this or scope of what we originally started out so there's going to have to be diagram is going to have to be dealt with or you're liable to make sure that everybody wants us to go this route right and that's one of the reasons i i was glad that you were able to come and explain it so the rest of the understand that we can kind of have an idea of which way we'd like to go with that one of the things we're going to do this courtney is really you discussed personnel that we all have to try and find the ideal candidates to act as the lead investigator for narcotics for prostitution and the different categories because to some communities have more experience are one thing than another and a couple  comments he was limited to five minutes for non agenda items that would be a discussion on an item that is not on the agenda is there anyone would like to come up and speak at this time ok  long list of extremely qualified candidates it's been a process that stake in us quite some time because we wanted to speak with each one of these prospective  candidates and so it is times anyone cause you want to make any motion for any particular candidate and i'd like to make a motion for two appointments i'd like to appoint any further nominations or discussion all those in favor say aye aye aye all those that would be six zero for the appointments and once again i want to reiterate we will be going through a process of a point of appointees to the comprehensive plan steering committee for parks and recreation that's a very will be a very important  we do have a vacancy because someone chose not to be asked not to be reappointed him so we have two full members in all together and i was recommending that that take the person who's an alternate rebecca bowman and make this is the this is the big challenge of the project this is the this is our entryway which acts like a bridge from the living space to the bedrooms of the house the di area underneath the creek is approximately twelve and a half square feet and that is that was taken last week so there's it's pretty much for those and you can go to the next one way this is a picture taken in one thousand nine hundred nine of the condition of the creek when we bought the bridge that's the same picture from the same day from the angle of the living room just showing you just how much water is coming around the bend of the cre that is it's i know it's hard to see but ten times a year that we get ten story here that creates that much volume of water in the creek in two thousand and three and that picture that i showed you of the creek in nine hundred ninety nine you could walk into it from the rear of your yard so in two thousand and three when we almost got flooded i created increase the elevation of the to try to get in underneath the house the challenge where but i ended up creating was an area of twenty four and a half square feet of creek that is trying to fit in a twelve and a half  square foot space underneath the house i think that that and that is that pretty much every day rain so we have that every time it rains and then i'm ten aventura roughly kind of brings you here we almost see that and that's also a good demonstration of the extent of progress that so when i bought the home and i asked the famous question is it ever a flood and they said no it's for every year it seems like you know from ninety nine to two thousand and three nothing not only the home an increase in the size of the home but into the landscaping to try to accommodate the water so my latest plan is to it seems to be getting worse every year i'm worried might damage from that entry way from the force of that water on multiple occasions either water will go up for a six inches in that glass on an entryway so i might put my next question i it into an engineering friend of mine is that what point would fail that dead handled glass half way up the glass but it seems like every year it's getting worse so my idea was that when i submitted she was drawing to show that we would install a three foot pipe and try to capture at least fifty percent of that water bring it around the house deposit it back into the creek still on our property so i met with both ed in and marco kind enough you know most of the most of the upstream watershed in this year was developed and sixties and seventies the only development that i can recall that was done in recent memory was up it's on the side of the wall that is the sign to be almost like a let me show the water that all fly where i'm standing taken that photo usually when it when that cree here but about that or this sort of diagnosis where you were just picturing is that correct on the on that diagonal right there those two lines represent my power policeman that's on the north end of the it seems like every year the managing the water gets more and more difficult in the in the amount of storms that bring it to the brink of flooding seem to be increasing but it seems like get you know since i moved in since i trying to design it so that the accommodates so is the property expanding towards the back or towards the side towards the i moved that we approved the lot modification to lot to twenty in the orchard hill plane based on agreement out the conditions stated by planning which i believe were all done two medievals along one on center church and one on johnston media as he would be you know this is the one on center church and they basically would be paid  that that could still happen but still it would provide a way to slow traffic and that in our cost estimate on that could be anywhere from for that to to the reza as for you we want to get councils feedback as to whether or not if the residents prove this will be going to support my personal opinion is i'm tired of speed bumps and i'm glad to see rel considering some alternative to just speed bumps obviously the medial strips are a lot more expensive but i think in the long run they may be more effective than just having the speed bumps say i don't understand why that would be a better to terror and to the speeding if you can simply drive over it it's similar to somebody going to the car couldn't you drive over imagine that people would be shooting up the baton coming over that way because it it this is obviously a cut through that is way above the speed limit on a percentage basis and you have a list of accidents though i could get behind the idea now that you've explained they actually would know if you could just drive over them they're not that great up and over so i could i could see where that might be worth looking at this may be a worthwhile would also help where our experience has shown it does actually have helped the traffic and it's in an area that instead of putting a third set of media we know between where the other are green valley and center servatius excuse me for interrupting i was surprised that we were able to destroy records from two thousand and twelve and two thousand and eleven but i guess based on what's in the current code if it under jake chapter ninety nine consistency determination the next page see conveyance system township should be indifferent either way his property will be assessed near where i believe it ought to be and i take mr w he will not appeal if this the figure said it the two hundred thirty five i also take you on his word that he will deal with it said the other so you know from the township standpoint we're not talking about a whole lot of money we will spend execution of a settlement agreement on either terms in the first of the school district as to which approach we we do that again from our standpoint it makes very little difference when i  something that he can sign but you can't enforce it and that's was a concern that was expressed by the school this very fact that you cannot find someone i mean in my experience with a residence and peters is the end and  on very few occasions it been proven wrong when i think i would rely upon what the person has told me i realize that's not that's there's no remedy of it because back at his word but i think there's feel that he gets to choose the way that evaluation well maybe he it depends on who you who where you would go to the board of assessment and whoever runs the quickness from the board of assessment favor that motion say i oppose going to court some years back it went all the way up to the believe superior court it didn't i think he tried to go to the supreme court but they denied recoverable more than more than one boundary just people what is left is a mailbox that is the mailbox of one individuals in front of the other individuals home in our right of way now that they gave me an ultimatum to the individual to remove mailbox they were going to come remove it for him we got involved because it's johnny and we talked to her after i sent the letter back to see if you can go back to court if she believes the court order which doesn't speak to the mailbox speak to a long list of binder disputes but did not address the location of this mailbox that's been there for quite some time and so the township was not can be a party to condone removal or condone leaving it in place we asked her to go back and that's why one of the board to be aware of the letter we asked her to do something with having the court direct what should be done sylvester i met with one of the neighbors some months back and explained the situation to me it was just a letter from a council that was potentially going to lead to an incident that we got out ahead of and asked them to get the court to resolve the issue not the township and that's why we say we don't get involved with private litigants and we're not going to have the police literally police whether that mailbox which is covered by federal law is coming down or not and i wanted the board to be aware of the letter and what was going on position c r c supervisor position and we did make an offer to one resident and she did turn down one of our finalists and we are currently checking vast us again and we would be willing to allow them to do testing our property they've also indicated that they're also going to be doing a lot more roads even going into plans where you know connecticut pretty much stay on the main road and go into the subdivisions we have not yet received their application and give them all our information some of the if we can trade off for you know blasting in and reduce the number streets and they would be you know having to drive into you know your position in the passenger and you don't juliet it's gone now yes yes there are there any major complaints or do we have any road issues mark that i'm aware of that we're we're we're  people are going to go through the second time ok so is there any reaction to whether or not you want to consider them to them to  in that they can we we can't tell them they can't go on our streets is one may bomb them but you know the question will be where did they get permission to put sensors on people's property from  problematic can some come some council members may be aware of it is on top of through a drive on one western power tower there there is a cell array at the top of that now that was actually physically on this one actually i think is a better option we have talking than they were originally they want to go in and do it this is this would be a shelter for talked to them about another location that i believe is in an area that's not as active as it has to shelter for area and and i told him any building that would need to be done would have to be consistent with the building designs that we already have in the park for restroom building and storage building actually one down below there that's just a way from everything so they could put a driveway and either off or here or here wherever he easiest and put a little building in there and then the tower  and the ball fields will be right up here this is this is meredith and this is brewing that goes to the soccer field right ok so that's all right and then right away encroach say yes we want to get councils feedback on this too we have a complaint right now and we you know this this is the structure that's in our right away the marriott right here so it's quite a distance away from the driver to me i was kind of surprised where they located because it's got to be an effort to get your garbage can to the and i guess the consensus is mike we've got to come up with some forward thinking on here power when you're pro choice is like this but i think it's pretty much the general consensus that that should be perhaps an inquiry about something we talked about at a prior meeting mr sylvester you have bessie waited for us weather planning the planning commission could have alternate and instead told us that was impossible but they could increase the size of their group and the reason that the question was brought up was to avoid any kind of problems with members who have to recuse would we be able to ask planning what their opinion might be of expanding their group so that we could then have a report for
