ELIJAH: I'd like to call the 2 meeting to order. Stand and do the pledge of 3 allegiance. 4 (Thereupon, the pledge of allegiance 5 was recited.) 6 MR. ELIJAH: May we take a roll 7 call? Mr. Clerk -- Mr. Walker. 8 MR. WALKER: Yes. Brice Sims is 9 absent. Allen Elijah? 10 MR. ELIJAH: Here. 11 MR. WALKER: Angela Jones? 12 MS. JONES: Present. 13 MR. ELIJAH: Thank you. I would 14 like to call for a motion to approve the minutes 15 of March 9 if I may. 16 MS. JONES: I make a motion for 17 approval of the minutes of March 9. 18 MR. ELIJAH: The motion has been 19 made. 20 MR. WALKER: The motion carries 21 since we only have two. 22 MR. ELIJAH: Thank you. I second 23 the motion. Clerk's business. Mr. Walker. 24 MR. WALKER: I don't have any 25 tonight. I'd like to say, our plans are to have 3 1 a quarterly report in the next meeting. 2 MR. ELIJAH: Okay. Thank you. Old 3 business. Mr. Bradley, is there any old 4 business? 5 MR. BRADLEY: None to be addressed 6 this evening. 7 MR. ELIJAH: Very good. New 8 business. What have we on the agenda? 9 MR. BRADLEY: Yes. Appointments to 10 zoning commission and board of zoning appeals 11 both for two year terms beginning April, 2004, 12 ending April, 2006. 13 MS. JONES: I make the motion for 14 the appointments for the zoning commission and 15 zoning appeals board for a two year term 16 beginning April, 2004. 17 MR. ELIJAH: I second that motion. 18 And I would like to read the names of the 19 individuals into the record if I may. For the 20 board of zoning appeals Mr. Bob Seiter, 21 Mr. Jasper Cemino, Mr. Sam Dickerson, 22 Miss Beatrice Marks and Miss Kecia Williams as an 23 alternate and Mellow Bradley as an alternate. On 24 the board of zoning appeals for the zoning 25 commission, Mr. David Rench as chairman, 4 1 Miss Ruth Calhoun, Miss Evelyn Fields, Miss 2 Barbara Smith, Mr. Kevin Jackson and Mr. James 3 Heyduck as alternate. 4 MR. WALKER: Let the record show 5 that the zoning appointments have been approved. 6 MR. ELIJAH: Thank you. Are there 7 any other citizens' comments sheets that need to 8 be passed to the front? All right. We have some 9 resolutions for consideration. Mr. Bradley, 10 would you summarize the resolutions for us? 11 MR. BRADLEY: Yes, Mr. President. 12 We have five before you today for consideration, 13 first, is Resolution 04-07, accepting Glen Oak 14 Drive (252 linear feet) as satisfactory for 15 placement on the Jefferson Township road system 16 for maintenance. One of the requirements of the 17 revised code is that any new plat or development 18 that have streets in it, that the streets be 19 dedicated and accepted and then they can be put 20 in the road system for the township. We got 21 correspondence from the county engineer that Glen 22 Oak Drive did meet those specifications for the 23 township -- putting into the township road 24 system. 25 MR. ELIJAH: So I move for the 5 1 passing of Resolution 04-07. 2 MS. JONES: I second. 3 MR. WALKER: Let the minutes show 4 that the minutes have been approved -- I'm 5 sorry -- that the resolution has been approved. 6 MR. BRADLEY: Next on the agenda, 7 Resolution 04-08, 2004 Partnership Pool Program 8 approving payment to the Montgomery County 9 Engineer not to exceed $65,000 for resurfacing of 10 township roadways. Each year the county engineer 11 sets aside a given amount of funds for each 12 township in the county and they can, in turn, 13 match that amount of money to get the township 14 roads resurfaced. And in our case we are putting 15 in 65,000. To that, I think, 28,000 for 16 resurfacing of the roads in the -- I think that's 17 the Liberty Meadows plat. 18 MR. ELIJAH: I move for the 19 acceptance of Resolution 04-08. 20 MS. JONES: I second the motion. 21 MR. WALKER: Let the minutes show 22 that Resolution Number 04-08 has been approved. 23 MR. BRADLEY: On the agenda is 24 Resolution 04-09, to commit matching funds not to 25 exceed 130,000 in connection with the West Third 6 1 Street Improvement Project. Last year upon 2 applying for issue -- monies to resurface and put 3 infrastructure on West Third Street, the 4 requirement was $65,000 match by the township. 5 Subsequent to the bids being opened, the amount 6 came in higher than anticipated. Accordingly, we 7 had to put $70,000 worth of project -- City of 8 Trotwood had to put in an additional $250,000. 9 The bid could be awarded and this resolution does 10 that. 11 MR. ELIJAH: Just a point of 12 clarification. Mr. Bradley, the area that we're 13 referring to as the Third Street Improvement 14 Project area, what constitutes the boundaries for 15 that? 16 MR. BRADLEY: Phase 1 runs from 17 Olive Road westward to Maeder and that's Phase 1. 18 Phase 2 then runs from Maeder to Union Road. 19 This is for Phase 1. And construction on that 20 project has begun. 21 MR. ELIJAH: And that will be 22 completed this year? 23 MR. BRADLEY: Yes. 24 MR. ELIJAH: Thank you. I move for 25 the acceptance of Resolution 04-09. 7 1 MS. JONES: I second the motion. 2 MR. WALKER: Let the minutes show 3 that Resolution Number 04-09 has been approved. 4 MR. BRADLEY: Next we have 5 Resolution 04-10, adopting the 2004 annual 6 appropriation in the amount of $2,316,487.00. 7 What we did at the beginning of the year was 8 adopt a 2004 temporary appropriation to allow the 9 township to open the books, so to speak. The 10 revised code requires that the first week of 11 April that the permanent appropriation be in 12 place and this resolution does that. 13 MS. JONES: I make a motion for 14 Resolution 04-10 to be approved. 15 MR. ELIJAH: I second that motion. 16 MR. WALKER: Let the record show 17 that Resolution Number 04-10 has been approved. 18 MR. BRADLEY: And, finally, before 19 you tonight we have Resolution 04-11, authorizing 20 the expenditure of up to $10,000 of township 21 funds for the 2004 Jefferson Township Days 22 festival and declaring it a public purpose. This 23 is, basically, I want to call seed money or 24 backup money for the Jefferson Township Days 25 festival. As you are aware, various 8 1 organizations that operated -- last three years 2 the township has been the primary sponsor of the 3 event and we're establishing a fund to maintain 4 and operate the festival for 2004 in the amount 5 not to exceed $10,000. 6 MR. ELIJAH: Okay. This is seed 7 money? 8 MR. BRADLEY: Yes. It's anticipated 9 that these funds won't be used. But in the event 10 that something comes up and we need to make the 11 expenditures, this resolution allows us to do 12 that. 13 MR. ELIJAH: I make a motion for the 14 acceptance of Resolution 04-11. 15 MS. JONES: I second the motion. 16 MR. WALKER: Let the record show 17 that Resolution 04-11 has been approved. 18 MR. ELIJAH: Trustees' report. I 19 have nothing to report at this particular time. 20 Mrs. Jones. 21 MS. JONES: I have nothing to 22 report. 23 MR. ELIJAH: Mr. Bradley. 24 MR. BRADLEY: There were no risk 25 management activities during the month of March, 9 1 2004. That's a good thing. 2 MR. ELIJAH: Okay. We'll talk about 3 that later. Thank you. I'd like to now open the 4 floor to citizens' comments. Do we have comments 5 this evening? 6 MR. BRADLEY: Yes. I have two 7 forms. One from Miss Carla Jackson, 7805 Dayton 8 Liberty Road, and she would like to speak to a 9 transcription of the March meeting. 10 MS. JACKSON: I just want a copy. 11 MR. BRADLEY: Of the transcript? 12 MS. JACKSON: Uh-huh. 13 MR. ELIJAH: Does that satisfy your 14 concern? 15 MR. BRADLEY: She can stop by the 16 office tomorrow or so and we can provide you a 17 copy. I think the cost is probably a nickel a 18 page. Next we have Mr. Ronald Green of 1212 19 Infirmary Road. He would like to speak to edge 20 money. 21 MR. GREEN: Okay. Did we apply for 22 edge money this year? 23 MR. BRADLEY: Not this -- 24 MR. ELIJAH: Well, edge has two 25 application cycles. There's a spring cycle and a 10 1 fall cycle. There was no application submitted 2 for the spring cycle. 3 MR. GREEN: So that's what showed in 4 the paper today, the spring cycle? 5 MR. ELIJAH: Yes. 6 MR. BRADLEY: There is one point of 7 clarification. We joined with other 8 jurisdictions in Montgomery County to have a land 9 use study and comprehensive plan for the western 10 part of Montgomery County, and that was applied 11 for by Miami Valley Regional Planning and we were 12 just one of the jurisdictions assigned. Others 13 were Harrison Township, Trotwood and German 14 Township -- 15 MR. ELIJAH: But there wasn't an 16 individual application submitted. If we wanted 17 to work on a particular project, there was no 18 application of that sort submitted for this 19 spring. 20 MR. GREEN: I thought he was talking 21 about the study. I thought that was, what, a 22 year ago? 23 MR. BRADLEY: This, again, is not 24 for us specifically. 25 MR. GREEN: In the paper this 11 1 morning was a list of different places that 2 applied for edge money, and I don't understand 3 why we didn't apply for edge money. I see West 4 Carrollton wants $1 million; Oakwood wants 5 500,000, Sugar Creek property from NCR. 6 Riverside wants 398,000; Huber Heights, 224,000. 7 Man, come on. I know we need money. And they're 8 doing these projects, some of these things that 9 we need to be doing. GM wants 400,000. 10 And I just don't understand why we 11 didn't apply for any of this money. Jackson 12 Township, 138,000; Miamisburg, 77,000. It's hard 13 to see that we didn't try to get -- we need 14 curbs, sidewalks, infrastructure, gas lines, we 15 need it all. 16 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: What about 17 the housing project for Peterson? Could that 18 have taken care of that? 19 MR. ELIJAH: I'm sorry. Is this 20 another citizens' comment? 21 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Yes, it is. 22 MR. ELIJAH: Is this a piggyback on 23 the Mr.'s comment, the same family? 24 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Yes. I'm 25 sorry about that. 12 1 MR. ELIJAH: That's okay. 2 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Could we have 3 used that for the Peterson project that you 4 wanted to bring into the township? Could we have 5 used some of that money for that? 6 MR. ELIJAH: I don't know. I don't 7 know off the top of my head. I know there has to 8 be a public purpose for it, okay, and that is a 9 private development. We just passed a resolution 10 that made the roads that they put in over there a 11 part of the township maintenance structure. So 12 anything that they would do, that would free 13 anything that we would do except anything into 14 the township would not be public. It would be 15 private. 16 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: But I want us 17 to stop dragging our feet. I don't want to keep 18 reading this in the paper about everybody else is 19 getting monies and Jefferson Township is not 20 applying for any monies. I think that that is 21 our jobs as trustees to see about an 22 administrator, Mr. Bradley, about getting us some 23 monies. 24 MR. ELIJAH: We are in the process 25 of establishing a plan so that when we have these 13 1 opportunities come up, and they're regular, we 2 can then match the funding source with the plans 3 that we have. It's more of a rightful approach 4 as opposed to a shotgun approach. 5 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Because if 6 you go around in this township, a lot of these 7 streets need sidewalks, they need curbs. I mean, 8 we need the money. 9 MR. ELIJAH: So noted. Thank you. 10 MR. BRADLEY: Next we have a Rosie 11 Dell, 2811 Infirmary Road. She would like to 12 speak to Resolution 04-10. 13 MS. DELL: Adopting the 2004 annual 14 appropriations in the amount of $2,316,487. What 15 is -- what is this about? I don't understand 16 what the annual appropriations is. Could you 17 clarify? 18 MR. BRADLEY: No. No. We're 19 required by the Ohio Revised Code to establish an 20 annual appropriation. What the appropriation 21 does is set the spending limits for the township 22 in the various funds. We total those funds up 23 and that represents $2.3 million. 24 Now, from this passing of the 25 resolution, we will receive from the county 14 1 auditor a certificate of estimated resources 2 which puts in place those spending limits. Now, 3 in the event the township would realize that we 4 would get more money than that, we would have to 5 raise the appropriation. We're of the opinion 6 that we will receive less money, then we can 7 lower the appropriation. It just sets in place 8 the spending limits for the township. 9 MS. DELL: So like the entire 10 township, fire, police, salaries? 11 MR. BRADLEY: Everything. Upkeep. 12 MS. DELL: Is there a breakdown of 13 that that could be available for the public? 14 MR. BRADLEY: Yes. 15 MS. DELL: Don't tell me I'm going 16 to get it. Is that possible to put it on the 17 website? 18 MR. BRADLEY: There's some -- 19 MR. WALKER: You'll have to check 20 the legal -- 21 MS. DELL: Because that's public 22 money. 23 MR. WALKER: I don't know if you 24 could post it. 25 MR. BRADLEY: You can get a copy 15 1 but -- 2 MS. DELL: Thanks. I appreciate 3 that, Mr. Bradley. 4 MR. ELIJAH: We have anymore 5 citizens' comments? 6 MS. JONES: Before we adjourn, I do 7 want to -- who's got one? 8 MR. ELIJAH: And, actually, we need 9 to see if you can fill in the form when you're 10 speaking. If your son or someone can -- 11 MR. FOSTER: Good evening. First, I 12 apologize for my appearance. We got stuck. 13 MR. ELIJAH: For the record, would 14 you state your name and address. 15 MR. FOSTER: Randy Foster, 301 16 Colgate Avenue, Jefferson Township, Montgomery 17 County, here on behalf of Richardson Park. 18 Recently, we have decided that there has been a 19 lack of activity in our park. And we have formed 20 an adult group and we're very much in concern 21 with increasing the programs at Richarson Park. 22 Over the years it's been physically neglected by 23 myself and many, many others. But we see 24 children playing out in the street. 25 The park has been pretty much 16 1 maintained, and we'd like to thank Jefferson 2 Township and other people that are involved that 3 really help us out with our Crown Point which is 4 an annual affair. They've been overwhelmingly 5 very helpful to us. We need to bring some of the 6 old fashioned simple fun. We have decided to 7 bring physical activity back to the park, such as 8 basketball, fundamentals of baseball, and at the 9 same time we intend to help out. 10 And as a community, we want to get 11 overinvolved in the park mainly teaching -- you 12 know, we had the new houses built there. We are 13 teaching people how to enjoy the park. My main 14 concern is, I'm -- well, 54 years old. I grew up 15 in the park and we learned to love that park and 16 respect it, and my son is 30 years younger than I 17 am. He also grew up in the park. Now he's went 18 to college and that park was made a great part in 19 his upbringing. Every day I would watch my son 20 go over there and play ball in that park. Now 21 that's he's out of college, I want to see him 22 give something back to today's youth. 23 And I say we need to get away from 24 something, too many video games, too much TV, too 25 much negativity. We want to bring some family 17 1 activities back to that park. If we bring 2 together an adult club, we're talking about 3 senior citizen programs. Just bring overall 4 safety to Richardson Park, and I think it can be 5 done with the help of an adult club, the township 6 and many others. I don't see any reason why it 7 cannot work for us. We have formed this. 8 And with your permission, we would 9 really appreciate any help you could give us. We 10 are very much interested in increasing our park 11 and the activities in our park -- this is what we 12 want to do -- and see things happen in Richardson 13 Park, give kids there something to do like they 14 used to do. The streets are kind of narrow and 15 it's kind of unsafe to see people out with a 16 basketball rim there playing ball in the street 17 and there's a whole park over there, so we're 18 saying, why not? 19 MR. ELIJAH: Mr. Foster, I just want 20 to kind of interject. Would it be possible for 21 you to leave your number and such with us so that 22 we can coordinate with you outside of this 23 environment so that we can support that activity? 24 MR. FOSTER: Certainly. And we will 25 inform you of any activities previously to that. 18 1 We'll stay in close contact with Mr. Bradley, and 2 we'll inform you of anything we have going, and 3 you're more than welcome to come down to the 4 park. We just want to have a good old time down 5 there for our children. And we have a lot of 6 business people that's willing to come down and 7 give seminars. So we just compiled all of our 8 resources together. 9 My daughter's into computers and 10 there's another person that's a business owner. 11 We have the personal interest there, but all we 12 have to do is compile our resources. There's no 13 telling where we can go with this program. This 14 can work. Mr. Ogeltry himself had 300 people in 15 that park -- very feasible time -- at his 16 expense. We all love children and older people. 17 This is what our intentions are, to better our 18 community as a whole and teach people to 19 appreciate that park more if it means that we -- 20 I have the type of crew that's willing to do 21 that. We're willing to paint and take care -- we 22 want to teach the young people how to get along 23 in that park. 24 MR. ELIJAH: And I just want to say 25 thank you because we need citizen participation 19 1 in order to make the community in which we all 2 live a better place and it's got to be grass 3 roots. It's got to be that way for it to really 4 be effective. So, in that respect, I applaud 5 you. 6 MR. FOSTER: Thank you very much. 7 MR. BRADLEY: We have two more 8 requests. Miss Debbie G. Bronston of 841 9 Creekside. No topic is indicated. 10 MS. BRONSTON: Good evening. My 11 question is regarding the qualifications for the 12 zoning boards. I would like to know what those 13 are for selection and appointment to a zoning 14 board. 15 MR. ELIJAH: Okay. Do you know what 16 that is, Mr. Bradley? 17 MR. BRADLEY: My understanding is 18 you merely have to express an interest and supply 19 a resume and reside in the township. 20 MS. BRONSTON: And then if that is 21 the case, if you do submit a resume, if you do 22 express an interest and you do reside in the 23 township, then what is the process for selection? 24 MR. BRADLEY: Submitting a resume to 25 the zoning director. 20 1 MS. BRONSTON: And then after you 2 submit it, what is the process that is undertaken 3 by the township, by the administration to select 4 the best -- most qualified people for these 5 boards? 6 MR. BRADLEY: The selection is at 7 the discretion of the board of trustees. 8 MS. BRONSTON: So are you saying 9 pretty much handpicked by the board of trustees? 10 MR. BRADLEY: The board of trustees 11 selects members of the zoning commission and BZA. 12 MR. ELIJAH: And one of the things 13 we haven't had to worry about -- it's not like 14 we've had thousands of people looking to perform 15 these functions. So it's not like 15 people 16 apply and we've only got 3 spots. 17 MS. BRONSTON: Could you 18 characterize what has happened with the people 19 that apply and have shown an interest and how 20 they were treated and how you responded back to 21 them? Did you send a note thanking them for 22 their participation but you aren't selected at 23 this time? I want to know your response -- the 24 people that's appropriate that were not selected. 25 MR. ELIJAH: I don't know of anybody 21 1 that's been in that situation. We've not gone 2 through -- I'm sorry -- you haven't made it or 3 something of that sort? I think that's very 4 appropriate. That would kind of officially let 5 people go through the communication process but 6 it hasn't happened. 7 MS. BRONSTON: Pardon me? What 8 hasn't happened, that people have applied and not 9 been selected? 10 MR. ELIJAH: That I'm aware of, 11 yeah. 12 MS. BRONSTON: I have to tell you 13 that I know of at least three or four people that 14 have applied, including myself, over a year ago 15 and followed every procedure that we were asked 16 to follow including a written request and we were 17 either declined or not considered at all. 18 MR. ELIJAH: With whom did you 19 speak? 20 MS. BRONSTON: With no response 21 whatsoever. 22 MR. ELIJAH: To whom did you speak? 23 MS. BRONSTON: We spoke to a former 24 trustee as well as to the zoning director. We 25 put in writing a request and we said we would 22 1 make ourselves available and do whatever it was 2 required based on whatever qualifications you 3 might have, and we received no response other 4 than to be told that we would not be 5 considered -- we were not going to be considered 6 and not to expect to be considered. 7 MR. ELIJAH: You were told that? 8 MS. BRONSTON: Yes. 9 MR. ELIJAH: I really can't speak to 10 that. 11 MR. BRADLEY: Next we have a Miss 12 Mary Johnson of 4925 Tenshaw Drive. She would 13 like to address -- please elaborate on rental 14 agreements between Steve Rauch and Jefferson 15 Township for farming. 16 MS. JOHNSON: Well, my question's 17 out there, so I guess I'm expecting an answer. 18 MR. ELIJAH: What's your question? 19 MS. JOHNSON: The question is, 20 please elaborate on the statement -- please 21 elaborate on the rental agreement between Steve 22 Rauch and Jefferson Township for farming land for 23 a period of two years. Is there a -- has it been 24 announced how that land will be used? 25 MR. ELIJAH: It's my understanding 23 1 it's vacant farmland that the township owns and 2 I'm not sure what's on it. Is it wheat or -- 3 MR. BRADLEY: Historically, I think 4 the land's -- seven or eight years we have rented 5 the property to one of the township residents for 6 farming purposes. This year we changed users. 7 The same use basically is occurring, farming. 8 Now, if you ask me the type of crop, I couldn't 9 be responsive. Historically, it's been soybean 10 and wheat, I think. 11 MS. JOHNSON: So Mr. Rauch is going 12 to continue with the farming process on that 13 land? 14 MR. BRADLEY: Yes. 15 MS. JOHNSON: Is it stated in 16 writing that he will continue that? 17 MR. BRADLEY: The agreement 18 specifically addressed the use of the land, the 19 care of the land and his responsibilities that's 20 associated with the farming. 21 MS. JOHNSON: So he intends to use 22 it as farming land? 23 MR. BRADLEY: That's all he can use 24 it for, yes. 25 MS. JOHNSON: And that's in writing 24 1 you say? 2 MR. BRADLEY: Yes. 3 MS. JOHNSON: So it's farming only? 4 The reason why I'm asking is because he has a 5 tendency for developing property for junking, 6 junk cars, junk, old cement, debris that somebody 7 wants to get rid of, and there's an example right 8 up there on Rahl Street. I know it's in Dayton. 9 But it's right on the perimeter of Jefferson 10 Township and I know that he owns that land. 11 MR. ELIJAH: That is not the case 12 with the property that you're asking about 13 specifically. 14 MS. JOHNSON: Okay. How was that 15 land acquired? 16 MR. BRADLEY: Historically, I can 17 only rely on hearsay. In speaking to 18 Mr. Thompson, I believe in 1986 the property was 19 brought for $80,000 and I think it was 36 acres. 20 MS. JOHNSON: Will it ever be up for 21 purchase? 22 MR. ELIJAH: We hope to develop that 23 land. That's a part of the development process 24 that we're looking to right now for the township 25 so -- 25 1 MS. JOHNSON: And where is it? 2 MR. ELIJAH: It's right across from 3 Fisher Park. 4 MS. JOHNSON: And just for your 5 information, I was one of the people that also 6 applied for a zoning position on the board or -- 7 you know, there was two and I never got a 8 response either other than in the negative and 9 that was a year ago. So you can -- you know, 10 just for the record. Thank you. 11 MR. BRADLEY: Mr. President, that 12 concludes any speaker request form that I have. 13 MR. ELIJAH: Thank you. 14 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Because the 15 time was taken in a response, I would like a more 16 satisfactory response in writing if I could. I 17 would like to know what the procedure is. I 18 would like to see it captured and what the 19 qualifications are. I would like to see that in 20 writing if I could. 21 MR. ELIJAH: Okay. We will take a 22 note and make sure we respond to you in writing. 23 Thank you. I would like to call for adjournment. 24 MS. JONES: I second. Oh, I'm 25 sorry. I did want to ask that if we can then 26 1 make a part of the agenda, again, where we had 2 the amount of zoning citations, the sheriff's 3 report -- the sheriff reports. If we can start 4 having those back on the agenda again. 5 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: And the fire 6 department. 7 MS. JONES: I'd like to see that be 8 part of the agenda again for the monthly 9 meetings. 10 MR. BRADLEY: Yes. I can take care 11 of that. 12 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Excuse me. I 13 didn't hear. What did you say? 14 MS. JONES: I just asked, for the 15 record, if we could begin to have the fire runs 16 and the zoning citations along with the sheriff 17 reports being part of the agenda monthly meetings 18 again. 19 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Would that 20 include the financial report? I haven't received 21 one. We ask that every meeting. 22 MS. JONES: The clerk had spoken to 23 that and said that he's trying to design how he's 24 going to be giving his reports. 25 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Would that be 27 1 a complete breakdown of the money spent? 2 MR. WALKER: Yeah. I'll give you a 3 formal report. 4 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Okay. Thank 5 you. 6 MR. ELIJAH: A motion has been made 7 and seconded, I believe. 8 MS. JONES: I second. 9 MR. ELIJAH: Okay.
