About this transcript

Automatic transcription, not the official record. This is what speech recognition heard at the meeting; it mis-hears names and numbers, and no editor has checked it. The clerk's minutes are the official record. Every line links to the moment in the recording — check anything that matters.

Voices were separated automatically and named from the meeting's speaker roster where the evidence supported it. An unnamed voice shows as Speaker 12 — a machine label, not a person's name.

  1. Highlight drawn from this moment: Lost Creek Township adopts a flat 2027 tax levy with no pay raises

    0:00:00 — open the recording at 0 secondsRick Long (chair) Okay, this is the Lost Creek Township Advisory Board meeting on August 31st, 2026, starting at 4 o'clock p.m. All board members are present. Greg Davis, Charles Wiley, Tom Nickerson, and Rick Long present. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and finalize the 2027 tax levy, proposed tax levy. All the board members have been given a copy of the tax levy. This is the second reading, which is required by the State Board of Accounts.

  2. Highlight drawn from this moment: Lost Creek Township adopts a flat 2027 tax levy with no pay raises

    0:00:36 — open the recording at 36 secondsRick Long (chair) So, with that being said, as I discussed earlier before, two weeks ago, the budget didn't change at all from last year. For this year and next year, it's going to be the same. No pay raises for anybody. Everything in line items are still the same. And we should be, we should have a surplus enough of a decent surplus because if you look at that, the tax levy money that we will get will not be enough to fund our budget.

    0:01:07 — open the recording at 1 minute 7 secondsRick Long (chair) And we never spend all of our budget anyway. So the excess that we'll have at the end of the year will be more than enough to cover in case we did dispend. But again, we never do. So does anybody have any questions on the budget or proposed tax levy?

  4. Highlight drawn from this moment: Lost Creek Township adopts a flat 2027 tax levy with no pay raises

    0:01:25 — open the recording at 1 minute 25 secondsSpeaker 3 No. No. I need to make a motion that we accept text leave with Blevias to discuss last meeting.

  5. 0:01:32 — open the recording at 1 minute 32 secondsSpeaker 6 No second.

  6. 0:01:34 — open the recording at 1 minute 34 secondsRick Long (chair) Any to call them in favor? Aye. Opposed? Yes, no. Okay. So we'll get that done and I'll finish up the paperwork and get it submitted to the one gateway. As you notice the parking lots have been resealed, repainted and an area of the back where we cut down that tree. They were going to squeeze four parking spaces in there. But if they did, the spot closest to the fence, they were going to hit the fence when they open the door. So we just kind of strike that to where it says no parking. But if someone wants to park there, they'll hit them. Don't work it.

  7. 0:02:16 — open the recording at 2 minutes 16 secondsRick Long (chair) So we gained at least three more parking spaces. And then we had one handicap. And I don't know what the law is. For so many spots, you have to have so many. So I just had another one by the bathroom. So there's two handicap parking spaces by the bathroom. And we had it sealed off. We put cones up for about three or four days. Didn't have to, but, you know, we did. And then I came up Sunday, and I took all the cones back up. Later, I came back and picked theirs up, but I had some of my own to keep them. So I picked them all up and whatever.

  8. 0:02:56 — open the recording at 2 minutes 56 secondsRick Long (chair) So I think it turned out real well, and it looks a lot better. We had a gentleman this morning who was walking when we came up here, and I asked him how he enjoyed the park. He goes, oh, I love it. He goes, like, come up a couple, three times a week. And so I asked him, I said, did you need to use the bathroom? Because we keep it locked. And that new lock's not working still the way it was. So he said, no, I'm okay. I said, well, if you do, let us know. Soon I'm going to try to unlock it while we're here. But the Wi-Fi won't let me use my phone to do it, even though they increased the Wi-Fi.

  9. 0:03:31 — open the recording at 3 minutes 31 secondsRick Long (chair) This router over here has to be within 50 feet of that lock. plus 150 feet. So what I can do is I can program it and put codes in and say, okay, this code's good for four hours or eight hours. So I need a new battery. So I got the thing with new batteries. So I'm going to try and mess with it tomorrow. See if I can start putting the old codes back in and do that way. So once we do that, then people can, you know, there's a couple of walkers I trust. I'll give a code to like Suzanne every, every morning she's

  10. 0:04:00 — open the recording at 4 minutesRick Long (chair) up there and walk her. Sometimes twice a day. So, I trust her. So she'll have a code that will be there for her. And anytime they use a code, we'll know it. So, and the camera's space in there. So, other than that, that's really the only thing that I have. We had a couple of assistants that we did this morning. Well, this morning, I just did one this afternoon. himself. It's still been kind of light but we've been helping us on grant and utilities.

  11. 0:04:35 — open the recording at 4 minutes 35 secondsSpeaker 11 So any questions on anything? Anything else you wish to discuss? Nope. I'm good.

  12. 0:04:41 — open the recording at 4 minutes 41 secondsSpeaker 12 The motion to close the meeting? I make a motion with your and me.

  13. 0:04:44 — open the recording at 4 minutes 44 secondsSpeaker 14 (councillor) And I second the motion. Are you right? All right. All right.
