I I get a motion to St I was recently at A din Township residence and one of those people watches meting that doesn't really have the stom G understandably in my and this first said wish they could just communicate to the township committee that it's not beli that everyone out there has F attentions but what it does appear is that the tail is wagging the toe and that at least in some instances it is being communicated to the residents very strongly that what they want and what's important to them and how they should be treated isn't important and whether it is really important to some of you and that's just not being communicated because power is being fed where it shouldn't be seems to be the question that residents are are talking about and ganing about when you have somebody who says I'm the boss I will make the decisions it's up to me and one of those people is not fre of you that person's actually an AC and when that person who is not fre of you treats residents in a disrespectful manner it's being seen and canot a freak she and I think really everyone would be so much happier if the residents of Franklin Township could all be treated the same and treated kindly and good respect and I think at some point three of you will have to get together and take the Reigns and make that happen if you share the value of treating all residents in Frankl townships with Comm out thank you thank you for your comments thank you har K I just wanted to and the police depart for the ceremony as well as grants that the police department City it's nice to have a shining City on the hill in this region is PR of our Police Department uh the only things I read about our Police Department are they get awards for helping people they're active in little leag they're active in sports they're active in fire comp they're out there in the community doing everything they can and when you contrast that some of the police departments nearby that had two chiefs of police uh in the line of fire had one engaged in sexual had another one engaged in a la and a ceremony honoring a retiring fire C youve had all sorts of scan involving that department had people involved in those scandals moving on to other jobs but yet despite that Frank will Township stand as the hallmar and the Deacon B his police work people doing as good job I just have one last comment and I know all of you up there are trying to do the best you can and getting close to election at the Halloween I don't know why the two are so close together there's probably difficult to but what would like to point out it's very very important that we always get the perception that uh Miss Kenedy said treating people equally that we don't spot Zone we don't spot respect we don't use the building inspector as a weapon we don't use the administrator the CLK As Weapons we try to treat people as equally as we can we require everybody to get a building permit they put an addition on and we don't go out of our way to go after somebody that's a religious organization in order to Target them because you don't like some of people about I think it's very important that all of you have a good understanding of how important it is and the perception that you did when you let something slide and you go out of your way more other things that's fine you want to let something slide or pretend you didn't know it happened but you know what everybody here knows you know what happened you know who you know what happened everybody here knows what happened and again I have no idea what you're talking about okay and in any case it's important that we do have the same treatment for all residents and again Mark live in the far end of the to should probably AR Happ still one you you got a beauty you go that was your job teaching chemistry every day not up again I just suggest that if we go enforce the laws enforce them equally you enforce them honestly enforce them proportionately and we don't get involved in them morass pay legal bills for stupid things why we let other things FL thank you genten have a great Halloween and a great good luck thank you for your comments y yeah we get a motion to close the second public portion motion close second all those in favor I committee reports Mark um the library has been down a person they only have seven staff members are usually dealing with eight and they're in the final um proces of selecting a person they they may have the past couple days since the meeting but I'm not sure so hopefully they'll be back up and running because uh the seven people who are working there have been picking up Slack it's good for them thank you John uh no report very good Mr D uh I'm not okay well I want to um thank the uh Franklinville fire department um I don't know the time frame here Matt maybe you can help me there was a residental Facebook that talked about the dock at Iona Lake so so I guess the fire department got in contact with her she happened to be uh at the local Carpenters Hall her her husband along with the Franklin Township Fire Department spent last Saturday rebuilding the dock there's still a little more work to do but it is usable right now and uh they they work Saturday and a little bit of Sunday to finish it so I spent some time down there I didn't measure anything cut anything Square anything up just so everybody knows I've watched and and ate ice cream but no I want to thank them and um you know when it's completely done we're going to have a resolution thanking the uh the couple people the couple residents that uh helped us out with that um they really worked hard most of the work was done out of boats which was pretty interesting to watch um thanks to the police department I'm not sure how much you you follow um it was an online paper article I believe what we ranked first in Coster County our cops have been the most productive out of any police force in those five counties I don't know about these other things here this could cause me some problems distracted driving but we'll talk about that later other not okay good but uh I I spent the night when they H had the um was it drunk driving enforcement I spent a few hours out there with them that was very interesting but again the work that they're doing the um the system that's being operated on is I guess we could say it second to n in this County at least right so thank you for that new trash truck what about the one saw today with the Twan truck what happened oh jeez okay other than that um I spent a week in Orlando do we a hurricane I don't recommend it but it was everybody made out okay um other than that I thank you for coming out can I get a motion to agj motion second in favor all thank you
