00:01:07,930 Will there be any adjustments to the agenda, such as changing the order of the items? 11 00:01:07,930 --> 00:01:16,459 Will there be... 12 00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:22,079 Review and sign errors in remission form above the tax rate? 13 00:01:22,299 --> 00:01:24,840 Would that make sense, or are we okay? 14 00:01:27,250 --> 00:01:27,670 Yeah. 15 00:01:28,069 --> 00:01:28,409 Okay. 16 00:01:28,750 --> 00:01:30,269 That's however you want to do it. 17 00:01:30,930 --> 00:01:32,310 If you want to move it up, that's fine. 18 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:32,609 Yeah. 19 00:01:32,989 --> 00:01:33,349 Okay. 20 00:01:35,140 --> 00:01:38,659 And Jed is recording tonight's meeting for his YouTube video. 21 00:01:41,989 --> 00:01:42,849 Hearing the visitors. 22 00:01:46,780 --> 00:01:47,060 Yeah. 23 00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:47,840 I do. 24 00:01:49,750 --> 00:01:50,810 I'll try to... 25 00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:56,730 I have several topics, so you guys can kind of decide if you want to put me on... 26 00:01:56,930 --> 00:02:02,349 I mean, the agenda for the next one, some are zoning-related, some are not. 27 00:02:02,650 --> 00:02:04,670 So should I go through them all? 28 00:02:04,969 --> 00:02:05,269 Sure. 29 00:02:05,450 --> 00:02:05,670 Okay. 30 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:07,390 Well, yeah, go through them all. 31 00:02:07,489 --> 00:02:07,750 Okay. 32 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,500 I'll go through them all within five minutes. 33 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:11,960 Okay. 34 00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:14,280 And you guys can pick and choose. 35 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:22,830 So regarding zoning, and this is something that I'll need your input in, I have been 36 00:02:22,830 --> 00:02:27,870 doing a lot of kind of finding out. 37 00:02:27,870 --> 00:02:38,199 And catching up on people that are placing sheds, doing decks, probably seven of my 38 00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:40,120 last eight zoning permits. 39 00:02:41,590 --> 00:02:50,240 They are zero, they're $15 per instance. 40 00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:57,900 I had to get the Methodist Church, take down their deck, move it to the other side. 41 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,639 So it's a lot of work. 42 00:03:01,259 --> 00:03:02,699 Are these the no-fee permits? 43 00:03:02,699 --> 00:03:04,259 These are the no-fee permits. 44 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,520 Like, I'll find somebody and put a shed. 45 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,180 You know what? 46 00:03:07,219 --> 00:03:11,979 They ran a shed on their property, no-fee permits. 47 00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:14,400 Decks are going up. 48 00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:23,370 And so what I would like to propose is just, when something like this happens, I think 49 00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:35,379 it would fare to have a fee. 50 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,419 Because if they put up a building, they didn't get a permit. 51 00:03:42,469 --> 00:03:45,310 This here, it's... 52 00:03:45,310 --> 00:03:49,789 So they don't have to pay a fee, but what's the $15 filing fee? 53 00:03:50,150 --> 00:03:50,590 I don't know. 54 00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:51,370 It's a recording. 55 00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:52,509 It's a recording fee. 56 00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:54,090 I thought we waived that. 57 00:03:54,189 --> 00:03:55,009 What did we waive? 58 00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:56,340 For farms. 59 00:04:05,349 --> 00:04:07,780 Something was waived, I thought. 60 00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:14,689 So it'd be like a fine, right? 61 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:15,879 A fine. 62 00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:16,660 Exactly. 63 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,660 A fine placed on something they should have come in. 64 00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:26,879 Because it clearly says in our bylaws, even if it's under 300 square feet, you still have 65 00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:27,819 to notify me. 66 00:04:31,569 --> 00:04:34,839 Is there any structure? 67 00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:40,889 No, because everybody has to come in. 68 00:04:40,889 --> 00:04:43,120 And they have to comply with setbacks. 69 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:53,379 So I know it's an accessory to the, it's an accessory use or an accessory to the building, 70 00:04:53,379 --> 00:04:55,600 and it has to comply to setbacks. 71 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,899 So if they put it smack in the middle of the yard and they have a chicken coop. 72 00:04:59,899 --> 00:05:00,899 Right. 73 00:05:00,899 --> 00:05:12,850 But I'm just saying is this, in order to, the $15 fee, in order to collect that, there's 74 00:05:12,850 --> 00:05:14,269 no minimals. 75 00:05:14,269 --> 00:05:14,930 So a guy can, even if their setbacks are correct, then we just drop it. 76 00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:17,779 Yeah. 77 00:05:17,779 --> 00:05:18,779 Yeah. 78 00:05:18,779 --> 00:05:19,779 Yeah. 79 00:05:19,779 --> 00:05:20,779 Yeah. 80 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,639 And then the guy can just drive by and say, well, we know that's not, the setback's fine, 81 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:25,639 so we won't say anything. 82 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:30,920 And then the guy that we know the setback's not fine, we won't say something to him, we 83 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,920 make him pay 15. 84 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:42,220 If, okay, the reason for filing it, my understanding is for tax purposes. 85 00:05:42,220 --> 00:05:44,420 So we have a record of it. 86 00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:45,420 So my. 87 00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:47,420 So you get taxed on all sheds? 88 00:05:47,420 --> 00:05:49,670 Except for the value of the property. 89 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:52,829 If it's over so many square feet, I think. 90 00:05:52,829 --> 00:05:53,829 100 square feet. 91 00:05:53,829 --> 00:05:54,829 Yeah. 92 00:05:54,829 --> 00:05:55,829 That's what my question is. 93 00:05:55,829 --> 00:05:56,829 Yeah. 94 00:05:56,829 --> 00:05:57,829 I, I. 95 00:05:57,829 --> 00:05:58,829 I know that the, I know we've gone a long ways with this. 96 00:05:58,829 --> 00:05:59,829 It's better, but it's still not perfect, right? 97 00:05:59,829 --> 00:06:00,829 Oh God, no. 98 00:06:00,829 --> 00:06:01,829 No. 99 00:06:01,829 --> 00:06:02,829 So I, you know, I know, and that, the reason why I'm asking is there are, you know, many, 100 00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:03,829 many people that build small structures. 101 00:06:03,829 --> 00:06:04,829 Right. 102 00:06:04,829 --> 00:06:05,829 And the small ones are like chicken, chicken coops, dog coops, and the kids, you know, 103 00:06:05,829 --> 00:06:06,829 camp and stuff like that. 104 00:06:06,829 --> 00:06:08,410 Swing sets. 105 00:06:08,410 --> 00:06:09,410 I mean, how do we go about saying, right, I'm driving by and I see a guy that's got 106 00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:10,410 a shed. 107 00:06:10,410 --> 00:06:11,629 Yeah. 108 00:06:11,629 --> 00:06:12,629 Yeah. 109 00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:13,629 Yeah. 110 00:06:13,629 --> 00:06:14,629 Yeah. 111 00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:15,629 Yeah. 112 00:06:15,629 --> 00:06:16,629 Yeah. 113 00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:17,629 Yeah. 114 00:06:17,629 --> 00:06:18,629 Yeah. 115 00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:19,629 Yeah. 116 00:06:19,629 --> 00:06:20,629 Yeah. 117 00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:22,459 It's definitely a shed. 118 00:06:22,459 --> 00:06:23,459 You know, they bought from sheds and stuff, so. 119 00:06:23,459 --> 00:06:24,459 That's what this one was. 120 00:06:24,459 --> 00:06:25,459 And we say, hey, you didn't get a permit. 121 00:06:25,459 --> 00:06:26,459 You got to go get a permit. 122 00:06:26,459 --> 00:06:27,459 15 bucks. 123 00:06:27,459 --> 00:06:28,459 Yep. 124 00:06:28,459 --> 00:06:29,459 So it's on record. 125 00:06:29,459 --> 00:06:30,459 So we do that. 126 00:06:30,459 --> 00:06:31,459 Because I get the cost. 127 00:06:31,459 --> 00:06:32,459 But when we go by and we don't, if we see one that's smaller, we don't say anything. 128 00:06:32,459 --> 00:06:33,459 That's where I'm going. 129 00:06:33,459 --> 00:06:34,459 Oh, I say, I say something. 130 00:06:34,459 --> 00:06:35,459 I go. 131 00:06:35,459 --> 00:06:36,459 Yeah, but not for like a chicken coop or a dog coop, you probably don't. 132 00:06:36,459 --> 00:06:37,459 That's what I'm saying. 133 00:06:37,459 --> 00:06:38,459 We need to have a shed. 134 00:06:38,459 --> 00:06:39,459 Yeah. 135 00:06:39,459 --> 00:06:40,459 Yeah. 136 00:06:40,459 --> 00:06:42,329 Yeah. 137 00:06:42,329 --> 00:06:43,329 Yeah. 138 00:06:43,329 --> 00:06:44,329 Yeah. 139 00:06:44,329 --> 00:06:45,329 Yeah. 140 00:06:45,329 --> 00:06:46,329 Yeah. 141 00:06:46,329 --> 00:06:47,329 Yeah. 142 00:06:47,329 --> 00:06:48,329 Yeah. 143 00:06:48,329 --> 00:06:49,329 Yeah. 144 00:06:49,329 --> 00:06:50,329 We don't have a permit for a chicken coop. 145 00:06:50,329 --> 00:06:51,329 You act, but you didn't. 146 00:06:51,329 --> 00:06:52,329 You didn't go and tell her she did it on her own. 147 00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:53,329 No. 148 00:06:53,329 --> 00:06:54,329 That's what I'm saying. 149 00:06:54,329 --> 00:06:55,329 There's a lot of them. 150 00:06:55,329 --> 00:06:56,329 I'm sure we drive by and not do anything about it. 151 00:06:56,329 --> 00:06:57,329 And that's what I'm saying. 152 00:06:57,329 --> 00:06:58,329 We shouldn't go back to those laws and look at it and say, something this big, as long 153 00:06:58,329 --> 00:06:59,329 as your setbacks are okay, you know, you shouldn't have to. 154 00:06:59,329 --> 00:07:00,329 Yeah, I don't know. 155 00:07:00,329 --> 00:07:01,329 We shouldn't have to. 156 00:07:01,329 --> 00:07:02,329 That's up to you guys. 157 00:07:02,329 --> 00:07:03,329 Yeah. 158 00:07:03,329 --> 00:07:04,389 We shouldn't. 159 00:07:04,389 --> 00:07:05,389 That's up to you. 160 00:07:05,389 --> 00:07:06,389 So that's the first thing. 161 00:07:06,389 --> 00:07:07,389 Second thing is we're going to. 162 00:07:07,389 --> 00:07:08,389 Yeah. 163 00:07:08,389 --> 00:07:09,389 We're going to have to. 164 00:07:09,389 --> 00:07:10,389 We're going to have to. 165 00:07:10,389 --> 00:07:11,389 Yeah. 166 00:07:11,389 --> 00:07:12,389 Yeah. 167 00:07:12,389 --> 00:07:13,389 Why are we telling people that if they're putting $100 on a permit, or whatever they 168 00:07:13,389 --> 00:07:14,389 are now, $100-something, and if they don't get one that's double, but we're not doing 169 00:07:14,389 --> 00:07:15,389 it to these people. 170 00:07:15,389 --> 00:07:16,389 Well, because it's really not a fee. 171 00:07:16,389 --> 00:07:17,389 It's just a file. 172 00:07:17,389 --> 00:07:18,389 It's just a recording fee. 173 00:07:18,389 --> 00:07:19,389 Right. 174 00:07:19,389 --> 00:07:20,389 It's not a permit fee. 175 00:07:20,389 --> 00:07:21,389 Then we can call her fine because you're taking the time to do that. 176 00:07:21,389 --> 00:07:22,389 Yes. 177 00:07:22,389 --> 00:07:23,389 And she's not getting paid for it. 178 00:07:23,389 --> 00:07:24,389 There's nothing in her pay schedule for that. 179 00:07:24,389 --> 00:07:25,389 Right. 180 00:07:25,389 --> 00:07:26,389 Right. 181 00:07:26,389 --> 00:07:27,389 Right. 182 00:07:27,389 --> 00:07:28,389 Right. 183 00:07:28,389 --> 00:07:29,389 Right. 184 00:07:29,389 --> 00:07:30,389 Right. 185 00:07:30,389 --> 00:07:31,389 Right. 186 00:07:31,389 --> 00:07:32,389 Right. 187 00:07:32,389 --> 00:07:33,389 Right. 188 00:07:33,389 --> 00:07:34,389 Right. 189 00:07:34,389 --> 00:07:35,389 Right. 190 00:07:35,389 --> 00:07:36,389 Right. 191 00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:37,389 Right. 192 00:07:37,389 --> 00:07:38,389 Right. 193 00:07:38,389 --> 00:07:39,389 Right. 194 00:07:39,389 --> 00:07:40,389 Right. 195 00:07:40,389 --> 00:07:41,389 Right. 196 00:07:41,389 --> 00:07:42,389 Right. 197 00:07:42,389 --> 00:07:43,389 Right. 198 00:07:43,389 --> 00:07:44,389 Right. 199 00:07:44,389 --> 00:07:45,389 There's nothing in it. 200 00:07:45,389 -->
