AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE.UH, POSSIBLE TERMINATION OF STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 6 0 2 GASTON BOULEVARD.
UM, SO CITY MANAGER, UH, I SPEAK WITH HIM THE OTHER DAY ABOUT MANY THINGS.
THIS CAME UP, UM, AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
UM, THIS IS A PROPHECY OF A STRUCTURE THAT WAS BEHIND THE EXISTING AGAINST SANDWICH SHOP AND THE BLACK SWAN MARKET.
UM, IT'S JUST INSIDE OUR BOUNDARY, THE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT BOUNDARY.
UM, SO THE MANAGER ASKED THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION TAKE A LOOK AT IT, SEE IF IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD BE WILLING TO MOVE, UM, INTO THE, INTO, UH, YOU KNOW, CLOSER INTO CAUSE PROBABLY GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, DEMOLISHED, UM, SOMETHING THAT WE CAN USE.
IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.
UH, IT WAS A LITTLE SOFT ON THE FLOOR, UM, IN THE BACK PORTION, IF IT'S A TWO, LET'S SEE IF I, YEAH, SO THIS IS PRETTY SOLID HERE.
UM, BUT I GUESS, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A CONVERSATION.
IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO LOOK INTO? UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE COST WOULD BE TO MOVE IT? WE HAVE PLENTY OF, LOTS OF MOVING TO AND SOMETHING THAT WE CAN USE.
REHAB BRANDS ARE UTILIZED FOR OTHER, UM, ANY TYPE PURPOSES.
SO, UM, I GUESS IT'S JUST THE DISCUSSION AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
UM, THE RISA HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE MOVING HOME.
SHE MOVED, UH, HOW MANY? 10, SEVEN REALLY? NO.
WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? WOW.
SO IF WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT, YOU HAVE, UH, FOUR MINUTES AND, UM,
UM, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME ASK EVERYBODY TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, TO MAKE SURE THAT GET A MEDICINE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT, YOU MAY DO THAT TWO OTHER COMMENTS, FOUR MINUTES MAXIMUM, SO GOOD TO HAVE EVERYBODY INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND SUBMIT YOU TO GIVE IN ANY BITS ELLEN SHERIDAN.
I'M A COMMISSIONER ON THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.
[00:05:01]
THANK YOU, DR.HOLMES AND FIRST MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH, TONY FIRST MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH.
THANK YOU, JASON SANDERSON, UH, WITH REALTY AND I'VE HEARD A FEW HOMES BACK THERE AND I'M JUST WONDERING, OKAY.
BACK TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE, 600 TO GASTON BOULEVARD.
SO, UH, LET ME START OVER ALL WITH YOU, MR. WALKER, OR ANY DOORS.
I CAN SAY THAT, UM, WHEN I WAS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR NUTRIENT CDC, WE LOOKED AT THIS HOUSE.
WE LOOKED AT THAT BECAUSE AT THAT TIME NOBODY WAS LIVING THERE.
UM, BUT JIMMY CAUGHT ALL THIS, AH, GOD REST HIS SOUL.
I'M SAYING I'M TRYING TO GET IT OUT OF THERE AND EVERYTHING.
IT WOULD JUST COST US A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY THAN WE HAD ALREADY GIVEN TO THE CITY TO LIMIT AS TO WHAT WE WILL DO FOR EACH, UH, EACH MOVIE TO REALLY APPRECIATE IT AT THAT, AT THAT TIME, IT WAS JUST GOING TO COST MORE THAN WHAT YOU WERE WANTING TO SPEND OR WHAT THE RED FLAG, UM, IS, WOULD COST MORE THAN YOU WANTED TO SEE IT.
THEN, UH, THEN WE'D HAVE TO REMOVE THE BAG THAT WAS IN THE BACKPACK.
IT'S A, IT'S A GREAT ROOM, ESSENTIALLY WITH A CHIMNEY AND A WOOD BURNING STOVE OR FIREBALLS COME RIGHT OFF.
PART OF THE HOUSE, THE FACTORS AND HOW MANY BEDROOMS DOES IT HAVE AND HOW'S THE PUBLICATION TOO AT THAT TIME.
UH, YOU KNOW, UM, I COULDN'T SPEAK FOR THE COMMISSION, UM, BUT IF YOU WANT US TO LOOK A LITTLE FURTHER INTO IT, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALL, OR YOU GOT A PLAYFUL.
JUST THE DISCUSSION, MR. NO, I TOOK A LOOK AT IT ONLINE.
HERE'S THE CHUNK I DROVE PAST TODAY.
SO, UM, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED FIRST OF ALL, BE LIKE THE NEXT STEP, UM, AND INQUIRING ABOUT THIS.
WE'D PROBABLY GET A PRICE ON MOVING.
I HAVE TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE WANT TO MOVE IT.
WE DO HAVE PLENTY OF, LOTS OF PUT IT ON THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE FLOOD, PLAIN.
AND THEN AFTER THAT YOU GOTTA HOOK UP UTILITIES AND REHAB IT AND MAKE IT LIVABLE.
I'M NOT SURE CBG FUNDS, THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO.
SO THERE COULD BE MONEY OUT OF REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION FUNDS TO DO THIS WORK.
I'M THINKING, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE MOVE AT A BARE MINIMUM WOULD BE OUT OF REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
RIGHT? REHAB COULD PROBABLY SUPPLEMENT CDBG FUNDS TO WORK, BUT THE MOVE ITSELF WOULD BE A CHECK FROM THE ONLY, OTHER QUICK QUESTION WITH IT.
SO IT'S GOT COMMITTEE, A BLOCK THAT WE HAVE, THEY'LL HAVE THE WIDTH TO ACCOMMODATE IT WITH SETBACKS AND SO FORTH FIVE MONTHS SETBACK.
UM, I WOULDN'T WANT SOMEBODY TO GO UNDER UNDERNEATH IT, BUT THE FLOOR SEEMS SOLID, BUT THE WHOLE LOOK, I WONDER THERE, I CAN'T THROUGH.
SO IT LOOKED LIKE A DOG USED TO LIVE UNDER THERE.
I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH AS MUCH AS I COULD.
UM, CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO DO.
UM, IT WAS A LITTLE MUSHY, WELL THAT PART, BUT THERE IS, THERE'S A LITTLE FULL WINTER, THE BRICK PORCH, I MEAN A LITTLE, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, YOU'D GO IN THE HOUSE.
I WENT IN THE HOUSE IT'S UH, IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE MADE INTO NEEDS TO BE MODERNIZED.
I MEAN THE KITCHEN, THE KITCHEN IS WORKABLE IN THE BATHROOM AND BE, IT DOESN'T REALLY WORK.
YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF LITTLE CLOSETS ARE ABOUT THIS WIDE IN THERE AND SO FORTH, BUT UM, IT'S WORTH EXPLORING AND THEN WE CAN ESTABLISH THE COST BENEFIT RATIO FOR YOUR BEDROOM IS, IS VERY GOOD.
UH, UH, ONE QUESTION THAT'S COMING
[00:10:01]
TO MIND IS I KIND OF BUILDING OFF OF KIPP'S COMMENT OF THE, A LOT WITH THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALSO TO KEEP THEM ON THE, UH, THE STREET THAT WE WOULD LIKELY BE GOING DOWN TO GET THE MOST OF THE LOTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE TO US.UM, THERE, THERE MAY BE, THERE MAY BE SOME MORE, BUT UH, NOT SIMPLY WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE DROPPED IS GETTING TO THEM.
IT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE CHALLENGING PART.
AND JUST AS SOMEONE THAT'S NOT EXPERIENCED IN THAT WORLD AT ALL, MS. TERESA, IS THERE SOME KIND OF A GOOD FAITH FORMULA THAT IS USED TO GO INTO IT? UM, I GET PRICING OUT WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE TO MOVE, OR IS IT JUST KIND OF A ONE-OFF YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO FIND PEOPLE AND THEY SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO CHARGE TO DO IT.
THEY'RE KIND OF HIGH-LEVEL FORMULA THAT WE COULD LINK THAT TO MY OFFICE.
YOU MOVE WHERE USUALLY, UM, MR. COLLINS, THE, UH, UH, DID ALL OF THAT.
I MEAN, HE DID SPEAK TO SABRINA.
UM, IT'S BASED ON DISTANCE MOVED, HOW MANY POLES HAVE TO BE REMOVED? IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LOCATION IT'S GOING TO THE DISTANCE IT'S GOING TO.
AND THAT REALLY IS THE BULK OF THE PRICING REALLY.
AND THERE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE MOVING TWO DOORS DOWN, THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN MOVING IT SEVEN BLOCKS OVER AND HAVING TO TAKE EVERY UTILITY POLE DOWN.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE COST COMES IN.
AND WE DIDN'T HAVE TO, WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT BECAUSE HE CAME FROM OVER TO, UH, THE BYPASS FROM 70.
AND SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANY OF THAT.
EVEN ACTUALLY WE MOVED TO WASHINGTON COURT BECAUSE HE GAVE ME A SIMILAR STREET THERE AND ACTUALLY BROKE WITH THE HOUSES THAT WE MOVED FOR, WASHING BOATS, BRICK HOUSES, JUST LIKE THAT.
AND THE KIND OF WAITING THEY SIT IN THERE THAT'S, IT WAS TWO LOTS, PRETTY, PRETTY BIG SISTER, YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITY TO, UM, YOU KNOW, BY THEN LOOK, UM, SOME, SOME OTHER COMMENTS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING IS OKAY.
IF THE WRITING STAFF, WHETHER YOU WILL GET FARTHER I YESTERDAY OR NO, OR MAYBE, AND, UH, AND, AND LOCATION, RIGHT.
SO DO WE WANT TO STICK IT IN A CERTAIN, WE WANT TO PUT IT IN FOCUS AREA ONE, WE HAVE PROPERTY THERE.
UM, YOU KNOW, I CAN LOOK FOR THE SHORTEST, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE SHORTEST DISTANCE IS.
UM, AND, AND MAYBE A COUPLE OTHER OPTIONS, MAYBE CLOSER TO SOME OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TO TRY TO KEEP A MASS OR JUST, YOU KNOW, DISTANCE, KEEP IT AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE.
SO I CAN, I CAN LOOK AT THAT AND SEE, UM, AND IT MAY BE THAT THERE'S A LOT, THAT'S STILL JOINTLY OWNED BY THE CITY AND THE COUNTY THAT WE MAY HAVE TO REQUEST, UM, THAT BE HANDED OVER TO THE CITY AND THEN TO THE COMMISSION.
SO I STILL HAVE, I WOULDN'T HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL OF THAT, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, PART OF, UH, IF WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD OR NOT.
SO I DIDN'T WANNA DO ANY WORK UNTIL YOU ALL HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT, BUT ASK QUESTIONS.
UM, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON.
SO WE STILL HAVE TIME MOST DEFINITELY.
AND WOULD THIS BE SOMETHING WE WOULD CONSIDER FOR THE TRANSITIONAL HOUSE? IT'S ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO.
WHAT WOULD WE SAY GOING, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, IT WOULD BE DEMOLISHED.
WE ARE OFFERING THE HOUSE, THE ONE IN THE FRONT AS WELL TO BE MOVED, OR SOMEBODY WILL TAKE IT.
THE CITY WILL GIVE IT TO THEM.
WE JUST WANT IT MOVED OFF THE PROPERTY.
SO IF WE DEVELOPMENT PASSES, WE WOULD, WE WOULD PUT IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC OR WHO MAY HAVE, OR I KNOW WE'RE TALKING TO PRESERVATION FOUNDATION ABOUT THE HOUSE, WHICH IS A HISTORIC TISDALE HOUSE IN THE FRONT PART.
AND SEEING IF ANYBODY WANTS TO, UM, HAVE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW, HABITAT, ARE YOU INTO TAKING HOUSES? YEAH.
SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, UM, THIS WOULD BE AN OPTION FOR US, BUT THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS DEMOLISH IT.
IF SOMEBODY HAS A NEED FOR IT AND WE'LL TAKE IT.
NO PROBLEM WITH INVESTIGATING A LITTLE BIT MORE AND GIVING YOU THAT ABILITY TO GO FORWARD WITH IT.
I MEAN, THERE'S NO HARM IN ELISE BEFORE HIM, CORRECT.
THERE'S GOING TO SAY CUT TO THE CHASE.
LET'S DIRECT THAT TO ITS CORE MOVING COSTS AS WELL AS LOCATIONS THAT CAN BE MOVED TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS UNTIL WE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO COST $75,000 AT THE MOMENT.
IS MR. WALKER, MR. JOE? NO, I'M GOOD TO GO, UM, AHEAD.
[00:15:01]
YOU.[4. Committee Updates]
IS OUR WORKING GROUP UPDATES, NEIGHBORHOOD, THEO AND OUTREACH.I'LL START WITH NEIGHBORHOODS.
SO WE HAD OUR THIRD NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP AND A WALL BUILDING LONG WALK AREA ON THE 29TH OF JANUARY, BITTER COLD, COLD, COLD.
I COULD NOT FEEL MY TOES AND MY HANDS.
UM, WE GOT A LOT MORE, THE DUMPSTERS REALLY GOT FILLED UP OVER THE WEEKENDS AT NIGHT, BUT HEY, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE THERE FOR.
SO THAT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL.
UM, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE TALKING LATER ON ABOUT WHERE WE WANT TO GO NEXT, UM, IN THE COMMUNITY AND, UH, IN COORDINATE ANOTHER LARGE SCALE COMMUNITY, CLEAN UP THE JUNK CAR PROGRAM.
I HAD A FEELING IT WASN'T REALLY GONNA CATCH.
UM, I THINK UNTIL PEOPLE GET A VIOLATION LETTER, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE TOO WILLING TO HAND OVER THEIR PRECIOUS VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE ON THEIR PROPERTIES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO FIX UP SOMEDAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO, UM, I DON'T THINK WE'VE HAD ANYBODY, UM, ALICE NOTHING.
SO, YOU KNOW, I'VE KNOCKED ON DOORS AND HANDED OUT FLYERS AND PUT THEM IN MAILBOX IS A PROPERTIES THAT, UH, WERE NO ONE WAS HOME AND, UH, WOULD THAT HAVE VEHICLES? SO WHAT WAS THAT TO KEEP TRYING? AND IT'S STILL THERE.
THE PROGRAM'S STILL THERE FOS DOESN'T CARE ABOUT OUR TIMELINE.
THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL TAKE VEHICLES.
SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO KEEP WORKING AND KEEP GETTING THE WORD OUT ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT THE CAR ON NINE 14, THE STREETS CALLED, THEY SAID, YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
EARLY THAT MORNING, I THOUGHT THAT SOME OF THE CARS WERE THERE, YOU PICKED UP, I WAS LIKE, OH, THAT'S GOOD.
WELL, MAYBE THEY CALL US BY THEMSELVES.
THEY'VE ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS OUT THERE AND YEAH, YEAH.
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PEOPLE I TALKED TO, I TALKED TO THEM AS PEOPLE, THEY WERE THANKFUL AND HE'S GREAT, YOU KNOW? EXCELLENT.
SO, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S STILL, IT'S STILL THERE AND, UH, IT'S, IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM AND HOPEFULLY HE'LL ALLOW THAT THE CHARACTER IS BETTER THAN THE STICK FOR SURE.
YOU WANT TO HANDLE HOUSE? YOU'VE BEEN A BUSY, BUSY COMMISSIONER.
UM, I JUST, UH, LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING AS A GOOD PLACE TO START.
SO WE'VE BEEN HAVING REGULAR MEETINGS EITHER WEEKLY OR BIMONTHLY, BUT TYPICALLY WEEKLY, UM, JUST A MORE SMALL GROUP.
UM, LATELY WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING ON VACCINATION AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE VACCINATION OR HELP WITH THAT SUPPORT THAT THIS COMMUNITY.
SO ON THE 23RD AND 28TH, UM, JOHN AND MYSELF, DR.
FISHER AND PASTOR HOLMES, UM, MET AT FIRST MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH DEFENSE STRATEGIZE ABOUT THAT, UM, ABOUT AGAIN, ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY FOR THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AREA.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THOSE PARTNERSHIPS AND, YOU KNOW, HAVING DR.
FISHER AND PASTOR HOMES ON BOARD HAS BEEN VERY INSTRUMENTAL.
AND BECAUSE OUR DIVISION FORCE IS AFFILIATED WITH THE, UM, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, YOU KNOW, WE TRIED, UM, DOING THINGS OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT OF HANDING OUT A FORM AND ASKING, UM, PARISHIONERS AND THE CHURCHES TO KIND OF GET NAMES FOR, FOR VACCINE.
RON SAYS, UH, MEMBERS OF HIS CONGREGATION THAT ARE STILL 75 PLUS IN THAT FIRST SECTION THAT WE'RE TRYING TO VACCINATE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN VACCINATED.
SO, UM, WE HAD SOME SUCCESS, BUT THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF, UM, THERE WAS SOME KIND OF MISCOMMUNICATION SOMETIMES WITH GETTING THEM INFORMATION.
FISHER, UM, PASTOR HOLMES AND MYSELF FINALLY MADE IT TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT THIS WEEK TO KIND OF HAVE A CENTRALIZED EFFORT BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO START VACCINATING PEOPLE.
AND THEY'RE USING A LIAISON SYSTEM.
SO THEY'RE USING THE FORM THAT WAS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE USED AND, UM, WITH THE LIAISON, AND THIS IS WITHIN CRAVEN COUNTY, THERE IS A NEW HARLOW, UM, YOU KNOW, VARIOUS AREAS GOING OUT USING THE LIAISON TO GET THE, WITH THE INFORMATION, GIVING IT BACK TO THE COUNTY, UM, THE COUNTY, UM, YOU KNOW, CHECKING THAT IT'S GIVING IT TO THE CALL CENTER, UM, AT THE VACCINATION CENTER.
SO THAT COULD BE DONE FOR PEOPLE AND THEN GETTING A BACHELOR'S ON TO DOUBLE-CHECK.
SO THERE'S SOME WORK INVOLVED WITH THEIR FEELING.
THIS MIGHT BE SOME SUCCESS BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE 65 OR DON'T HAVE THE BANDWIDTH, THE INTERNET ALSO TO, UM, TO DO IT.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON NOW.
I HAVEN'T HAD ANY FEEDBACK, BUT I WOULD SAY IT WAS SUCCESSFUL YESTERDAY.
WE FEEL LIKE, UM, WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT.
AND THERE ARE SOME LEGAL EQUITY, UM, THE VACCINE.
SO I BELIEVE THIS WEEK WE HAD 200 EQUITY VACCINES
[00:20:01]
PEOPLE AND UNDERSERVED AREAS.SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WERE DISTRIBUTED.
AND, UM, IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL IS WORKING WITH JUDY PIERCES, UM, YOU KNOW, PART OF OUR COMMUNITY AND THEY ARE HAVING AN EVENT AT BASE SPRINGS, CHRISTIAN CENTER THIS SUNDAY.
AND THEY ARE ON, I THINK, OPPOSED TO VACCINATE 250 PEOPLE.
SO THEY'VE BEEN BORROWING SOME VACCINE TOO, SO THAT SHOULD BE VERY SUCCESSFUL.
UM, AND THEY'RE VERY BUSY WITH THAT.
SO WE MAY, YOU KNOW, THE KIND OF SUPPORTING THAT, UH, WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE? UM, I, MYSELF WENT OUT ON THE SIXTH THEN JOINED, UH, I THINK IT'S VISION FORWARD AND HAD MY LITTLE PIT BOARD AND I WAS ABLE TO PRE-REGISTER, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CALLING IT.
UM, I'VE GOT FOLKS IN BOTH THE, ONE OF THE VACCINE AND THE MAJORITY OF ELDERLY PEOPLE THAT I SPOKE WITH IN FACT DID WANT THAT.
SO THAT WAS, UM, THAT WAS GREAT.
UH, SO I HANDED MY LIST INTO DR.
VISIER, HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL BE CONTACTED.
AND, UM, LET'S SEE, I RECOMMENDED THAT WE START CONSIDERING, UM, A MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE WITH THE PASTORS IN THIS COMMUNITY AT SOME POINT, I MEAN, HEALTH AND WELLNESS SPECIFICALLY.
UM, I FIND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE HAD SOME DIFFICULTY DETERMINING WHAT THE NEEDS ARE, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO AS A COMMITTEE.
AND I THINK MAKING THESE PARTNERSHIPS AND DOING THE OUTREACH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING THAT INFORMATION.
SO THAT'S AN INTERNAL WAY OF, UM, UH, FIGURING OUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS.
AND SO THAT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR US AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE PARTNERSHIPS AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE HOSPITAL, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THEY KNOW US.
UM, SO WHEN WE MOVE FORWARD TO DO OTHER THINGS, I THINK THAT WILL BE GREAT.
AND, UM, IN ADDITION, I'M MEETING WITH DR.
HE WAS SENT ON A ZOOM MEETING, UM, ON WEDNESDAY TO SIT AND TALK ABOUT DOING, UM, THE VIRTUAL SERIES.
AND HE MIGHT WANT TO TALK TO THE GROUP ABOUT IT, BUT HE REALLY FEELS LIKE SOMETHING THEY WANT TO CONSIDER.
SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION AND SEE HOW THAT GOES.
UM, AND THAT'S, I MIGHT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, ANY OF THIS, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING BUSY, RIGHT?
[5. Old Business]
YEAH.ONE KIND OF LOOP HOUSING USING THE OLD, SORRY.
NOW, I MEAN, NOW IT'S GOOD BUSINESS.
UM, SO YES, UM, THE DUFFY FILLED STORMWATER ENHANCEMENT PROJECT.
UM, WE ARE STILL IN CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE ONE.
WE EXPERIENCED SOME DELAYS IN GETTING PERMITS, UM, FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.
SO THAT DELAYED US FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WHICH IS PROBABLY NOT A SURPRISE TO ANYONE IN THIS ROOM, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF BUMPS.
BUT, UM, WE FINALLY, UM, GOT THE PLAN APPROVED, UM, BECAUSE WE ARE INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE BIDDLE STREET POND, UM, INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE PUMP OUTING, A BACKUP GENERATOR TO THAT SITE, AND THEN DISCHARGING UNDER THE NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD INTO JACK SMITH CREEK USING SOME LARGER PIPES THAT ARE, UM, CURRENTLY PLACED THERE.
SO THAT LITTLE RED BOX THERE WITH THAT FIRST LITTLE CALL-OUT.
UM, SO, UH, THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, UH, IS BACK OUT THERE.
UH, SOME OF THE ROADS HAVE BEEN BLOCKED OFF THIS WEEK.
UM, SO YOU WILL START TO SEE THAT CONSTRUCTION ON GET COMPLETED.
IN ADDITION, AS PART OF OUR CURRENT ANNUAL ACTION PLAN, THAT WAS RECENTLY APPROVED BY HUD, WE WILL BE STARTING NEXT PHASE OF ENGINEERING OF THAT PROJECT, WORKING WITH WITHERS.
RAVENEL, UH, WE HAVE INTERNALLY SCOPE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, UM, AND WE'LL BE MEETING WITH THEIR COMPANY AND THE NEXT WEEK OR SO TO FINALIZE THAT SCOPE FOR ENGINEERING, UH, THE LINEAR STORMWATER SYSTEM, UH, POTENTIALLY SOME OF THE KIND OF RECREATIONAL, UH, PARK PIECE, THE WALKING TRAILS, UM, AND THAT KIND OF THING, UM, YOU KNOW, AND LOOKING AT WHAT THE NATURAL PLANTINGS WILL BE, UH, THAT, UH, WILL FURTHER HELP THAT FUNCTION, UH, MUCH BETTER FOR THE COMMUNITY.
SO, UM, THAT'S REALLY EXCITING WHERE WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THAT UNDER THE WET UNDERWAY.
UH, WE DO ANTICIPATE IT IS LIKELY, UM, A RECOMMENDATION, UM, FROM THE DIVISION OF WATER INFRASTRUCTURE THAT, UH, WE WILL LIKELY BE GIVEN, UM, A LOAN OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS PROJECT.
UM, THEIR STAFF MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO THEIR, UH, TRUSTEES, UM, TO AWARD US, UM, GREEN WATER OR GREEN PROJECT FUNDS, UM, THROUGH THE STATE REVOLVING LOAN FUND.
BUT, UH, WE HAVE NOT OFFICIALLY GOTTEN ANY KIND OF, UH, NOTICE FOR THAT.
SO THEIR TRUSTEES WERE ACTUALLY TO MEET TODAY.
[00:25:01]
AND, UM, AS A FIVE O'CLOCK WE WENT ON, WHICH JUST CHECKING MY EMAIL, LIKE I'VE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING.UM, BUT OUR CONSULTANT TEAM IS, IS ON TOP OF, UH, OF THAT AS WELL.
SO, UM, WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT LOOKS LIKE A 0% INTEREST LOAN, UM, WHICH IS THE BEST OPTION THAT COULD BE RECEIVED.
AND OF COURSE, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT CONSIDERATION WILL NEED TO GO BEFORE THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN AS FAR AS WHAT THE TERMS ARE AND, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY, THEY WANT TO LOOK AT.
UM, BUT WE DO CONTINUE TO SEEK OTHER POTENTIAL GRANT FUNDS, UM, FOR FUTURE CONSTRUCTION PHASES, BUT HAVING THE ENGINEERING TIME WILL BE GREAT BECAUSE IT'LL BE, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY A SHOVEL-READY PROJECT AT THAT POINT AND BE ATTRACTIVE TO POTENTIAL FUNDERS.
WELL, WE WERE TRYING TO GET THE FUNDING FOR ENGINEERING, THE ENTIRE PROJECT AT ONCE, WHICH IS WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW, ALL THREE PHASES.
UM, WE HAD AN INTERNAL MEETING, UH, PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS AND REC, UH, JUST THE OTHER DAY.
SO THAT'S WHERE, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING.
UH, PARKS AND REC IS, UH, EXTREMELY CONFIDENT.
THEY'RE ABLE TO FIND GRANT FUNDS FOR THE AMENITIES, RIGHT.
SO FOSTER WILL BE WORKING ON THAT.
UM, SO AGAIN, ONE OF THE FIRST PROJECT OUT OF THE GATE, WHEN WE OUT FORM IS A CONDITION, IS MOVING ALONG VERY NICELY.
IF YOU HEAD OUT THERE, THEY'RE ALL, THEY'RE STAGING UP.
UM, SO, SO MOVING FORWARD AFTER I HAD, UH, COVID HIATUS.
UM, DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS, HOW MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROJECT OR, OKAY.
UM, THE SECOND UPDATE IS RELATED TO, UH, REHABILITATION OF, UM, HOUSING UNITS WITHIN THE BOUNDARY AREA.
UM, ALSO IN OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN, WE ALLOCATED FUNDS TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OR TO REHAB, UM, REHAB A HOME, OR AT LEAST ONE.
UM, AND BASED ON, UH, THE, UM, BOARD VOTING ON ACQUIRING CERTAIN PROPERTIES, WE'VE IDENTIFIED A STRUCTURE THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY STARTING THE HUD ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS.
THEY CALL IT AN ERR AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW RECORD.
AND THAT'S A PRETTY DETAILED PROCESS THAT HAS TO BE UNDERTAKEN FOR ANY POTENTIAL PROJECT OR A HOME THAT, THAT WE WOULD LOOK TO REHAB.
UM, AND THAT'S REALLY, WE HAVE TO DO THAT FOR ALL OF OUR TYPES OF PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES.
WE HAVE TO DO AN ERR AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IT ENTAILS EVERYTHING FROM, YOU KNOW, ENVIRONMENTAL TYPE FACTORS, HISTORIC FACTORS, ET CETERA.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, WE SUPPLY THE ADDRESS, UM, PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PROPERTY, UH, THE DATE BUILT AS WELL AS ANY PREVIOUS RENOVATIONS OR ADDITIONS THAT WERE ADDED TO THE STRUCTURE, UM, A WRITE-UP OF THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, UM, A LIST OF THE REHABILITATION WORK WE INTEND TO DO AND A COST ESTIMATION OF THAT WORK.
UM, AND THEN THE TIME SCHEDULE, AS WELL AS THE SOURCE OF FUNDS, UH, PER EACH GRANT YEAR, THAT THERE WOULD BE AN ALLEGATION, UM, WHO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY WILL BE, HOW THE PROPERTY WILL BE RE-USED AND THE NUMBER OF HOUSING UNITS THAT WILL RESULT WHEN THE WORK IS COMPLETE.
AND THEN OF COURSE AT THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT SPORT DISTRICT, OR IS POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
SO WE WORK WITH THE STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE AS WELL, UH, TO GET A DETERMINATION FROM THEM.
SO, UM, AS WE, UM, TALKED BEFORE, UM, THERE A PROPERTY AT 7 21 FIRST AVENUE, UM, THAT HAS A HOME ON IT THAT IS WORTHY TO PURSUE A POTENTIAL REHAB.
UM, SO WE HAVE BEGUN GATHERING THAT INFORMATION TO START THAT PROCESS.
AND AS YOU CAN TELL FROM, FROM THE LIST, IT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, PRETTY, PRETTY LONG, BUT, UH, WE ALSO PARTNER WITH A CONSULTANT TEAM THAT HELPS US DO THAT, THAT ARE KIND OF EXPERTS IN DOING THIS WORK.
SO, UM, WE'LL SEE IF IT, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF GIVEN THE ALL CLEAR OR STAMP OF APPROVAL, THEN WE COULD CONTINUE ON WITH REHABILITATION.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORT.
WE HAVEN'T HIT OUR FIRST ONES.
[7. Closed session.]
ONE.UH, ACTUALLY WE WERE GETTING READY TO GO INTO A CLOSED SESSION PURSUANT TO NORTH CAROLINA STATUTE 1 43 DASH 3 1 8 DASH 11 8 5, OR WE'RE GETTING READY TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION.
AND SO THAT MEANS OUR PUBLIC HAS TO STEP OUT AND SHE REALLY SAID THAT.
[00:30:01]
SO WE NEED A MOTION, A MOTION TO GO TO CLOSED SESSION.WHEN THE ATTORNEY YELLS IT OUT,
[6. New Business]
TALK ABOUT THE, IDENTIFYING THE NEW AREA FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PUT UP AND DISCUSS DATE AND TIME FOR A STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION.AND I COULD TALK TO JEFF ABOUT THAT.
AND WE HAD SAID IN OUR PLAY, WHEN WERE DOING REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, THAT WE WOULD DO THAT AT LEAST AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR FROM NOW.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT SOMEWHERE.
SO IT'S WHETHER OR NOT, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO HAVE IT GOOD EVENING OR TAKE A SATURDAY OR SOMETHING AND COME AND DO IT CAUSE YOU NEED, UM, YOU NEED A GOOD, I THINK THREE, THREE HOURS, IF NOT, WE'LL GET YOU A BE ABLE TO HAVE, HAVE A CONVERSATION BRAINSTORM AND, UM, MAYBE GET, YOU KNOW, A PERSON TO, TO, TO CREATE OR DO WHATEVER.
UM, YEAH, CAUSE WE, WE REALLY NEED TO LAY OUT.
I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO BE SWINGING A HAMMER BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
SO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE BUILDING, WHAT PRODUCTS WE'RE GOING TO USE, YOU KNOW, ALL THE GOOD STUFF, WHAT WE WANT EVERYTHING TO LOOK LIKE.
UM, AS, YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS THE HEALTH WELLNESS COMPONENT AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS.
SO WE NEED TO REALLY SPEND ON UP, YOU KNOW, LIKE A FOUR HOUR BLOCK AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
UM, OR IT COULD BE A WEEKEND, COULD BE A WEEKEND OR WHATEVER.
BUT IT'S MY RECOMMENDATION WHEN WE DO THAT, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF DECISIONS TO MAKE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE AS A COMMISSION.
UM, NOT AS A GROUP OR, OR ME, YOU KNOW, SO ALL I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND WE'LL ALL HAVE FOOD BRING FOOD THE SOONER, THE BETTER, BECAUSE WE WERE IN A POSITION RIGHT NOW.
WE NEEDED TO DO IT NOW, KNOWING, KNOWING WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE PIKE, WE NEED TO HAVE OUR DUCKS IN A ROW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THINGS.
UM, WELL, UM, I WILL WORK WITH JEOPARDY AND I'LL GET OUT OF THE LITTLE POLE AND PUT OUT A DOODLE POLL.
IT'S SO FUNNY CAT, BUT DOODLE POLLS, THAT THIS IS THE TIMEFRAME.
UM, AGREEABLE, I MEAN, UH, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE, IT COULD BE LONG
OKAY, WELL WE'LL SHOOT FOR THOSE START.
TWO WEEKS FROM NOW IS EVERY, I MEAN THERE'S A WEEKEND OFF, OFF LIMITS OR IS THAT, I JUST NEED AN ORDER DATE COMPOSED BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S SKETCHING A LITTLE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO DO AN AFTERNOON, EVEN FROM, YOU KNOW, THREE TO SEVEN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, JUST TO KEEP IT OFF FOR THE WEEKEND, I'M DRAWING AND I'M AVAILABLE.
I'LL MAKE TALK, AND I'M PRETTY MUCH GOING TO BE BOUND TO A WEEKEND.
AFTER, AFTER MARCH 1ST ON WEEKENDS ONLY BURN AND I PUT A WALL UP TO THAT CAMPUS.
I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
SO HE SAID HE CANCELED ALL THE WEEKENDS
UM, CAN YOU DO FIVE TO NINE PARTICULARLY? UM, AND THEN TWO WEEKS 24.
SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO, WE CAN GET IT IN BEFORE THEN WE NEED TO GET IT IN BEFORE THEN I TRY TO WORK WITH THAT AND PUT OUT SEVERAL, ARE THERE ANY DAYS EVERYONE KNOWS LIKE, HEY, UM, TUESDAYS I CAN'T DO IT OR ANYTHING JUST IN GENERAL WHILE WE DO COPE.

THEN WE HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DO THAT.
NOW THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE NEW AREA FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP, NUMBER FOUR.
UM, SO WE'VE DONE HERE, DONE HERE, AND IN GENERAL SOUTH, WE DIDN'T REALLY TOUCH IT HERE CAUSE THERE'S REALLY NOT MUCH GOING ON.
SO WE GET ALL OF THIS AREA HERE LAST TIME.
SO WE'RE KIND OF GOOD, YOU KNOW, 40% SO FAR WE'VE COVERED.
UM, SO THE, YOU KNOW, SO WE, WE GOT THE CENTRAL AREA HERE CALLED THIS, UH, MORGANTOWN, UM, ROBBIE STOMPING GROUNDS, AND THEN THIS AREA UP IN HERE, UM, ON MECHANICSVILLE, WHICH IS JUST HEAVY WITH YEAH.
ARE WE DOING THE, UM, CYBER THREE
I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE, I'M THINKING THIS COULD BE LIKE A, UM, MAYBE SAMSON, RIGHT.
OR THIS WHOLE, MAYBE USE A K YEAH.
AND YOU CAN, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF, THIS IS, I MEAN, THIS COULD ALL USE IT, RIGHT.
SO I'M THINKING MAYBE K DOWN AND WOULD YOU COVER EVERYTHING OVER LESS? OKAY.
UM, YOU KNOW, JUST CEDAR WOULD BE ONE, OR WE JUMPED A LITTLE OVER, MAYBE K OVER INTO MECHANICS, GO AND JUST DO THIS WHOLE SECTION, WHICH IS VERY DIFFERENT.
MAYBE ONE MORE HOMEOWNERS IN THAT AREA.
UM, BUT IT'S PLENTY OF JUNK AND PLENTY OF CARS AND YOU'D SCRAP METAL AND ALL SORTS OF STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING THAT WE CAN DO TWO MORE OR THERE'S TWO MORE SECTIONS TO DO ON AND WE JUST NEED TO PICK ONE.

NEIGHBORHOOD.I MEAN, WE CAN PUT THIS ONE UP OR REALLY JUMP OVER HERE AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE KNOWS WE HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN OUT HERE.

WE HAVEN'T DONE MUCH OUT THERE.
AND SO WE'LL GO MAYBE K OVER TO THE BOUNDARY.
PROBABLY JUMPS ALL UP AND DELAHUNT AND ALL OVER HERE.
LET'S JUST TRY NOT TO PICK THE COLDEST DAY OF THE YEAR AGAIN, LEADING UP TO IT.
IT WAS COLD RAINING EVERY DAY AND IT WAS 34 DEGREES.
SO I MEAN, THIS, THIS TASTES LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT TAKES A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO GET ON PUBLIC WORK SCHEDULE AND ALL THAT STUFF, SO.

HE COULD HAVE CALLED HIM TO SEE, TO GET IT TO OPEN.
IT REALLY MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.
