OH, MY NAME IS BARBARA SAMSON AND UH, I WAS CALLED, I WAS COMING TO THE CALL.
I SEE THAT IF VA THAT HOUSE, I GUESS IT'S THIS, THERE'S A TRANSITIONAL HOUSE UP ON YOU BANK STREET BY THE SIT, I GUESS, TURN THAT OFF A BAD WAY.
YOU KNOW, CALIFORNIA, I NEVER SEEN A HOUSE TURNED LIKE THAT AND FACING SOMEBODY ELSE'S HOUSE.
AND SO I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SCREEN IT OUT CAUSE NOW NO MAIN BIT TO DO THAT.
SO ALL YOU ALL PLANNING ON LEAVING THE JAIL LIKE THAT BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BECAUSE IT'S NOT SITTING BACK.
AND I KNOW THAT I HAD TO SLEEP IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THAT.
NO, MA'AM, IT'S NOT, UH, WE GOT AN UPDATE FROM, UH, FROM THE MOVE WHERE HE SAID, IF THEY JUST SIT IT DOWN LIKE THAT, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO MOVE IT IN ITS PROPER POSITION AND AFFORD IT TO SIT BACK.
BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT YOU AND THEY DO THE TRAINING, RIGHT? I'LL LOOK AT THE SPACE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE BETWEEN ME AND THE GIRL.
COUNT THEM BY THE TIGHT SQUEEZE TO ME.
CAUSE I KNOW ONE TIME HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BEEN PUTTING ACROSS THE SCREEN, THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PLAN.
BUT THEN I SEE THAT THEY DECIDED ON ANOTHER PLAN AND I PUT IT THERE.
SO I'LL BE WATCHING MY MOM I'LL BE WATCHING.
SO A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE BE WATCHING.
WE WERE OUT THERE ON SATURDAY, WE HAD A BUS FULL STEWARDS.
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON IT, BUT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS OUT ATTENTION TO.
AND THEN I HAVE ANOTHER THING AND SAYING NEXT TIME THAT YOU DO HAVE AN OPENING ON A BREEDER GOVERNMENT COMMISSION, I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD TAKE ME IN CONSIDERATION BECAUSE I DO BE AROUND HIM FOR MEETINGS.
AND I KNEW ABOUT THE SITUATION THAT GOING ON AROUND HERE.
AND SO IT'LL BE NICE IF YOU WILL, YOU KNOW, CAUSE I KNOW YOU DON'T REALLY WANT ME BECAUSE I'M A, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GONNA SAY I'M GONNA CALL YOU OUT.
WHAT AM I MAKING SURE THAT THINGS RUN LIKE, LIKE AS PAIN AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT
[00:05:01]
SEEING NONE?[3. Approve Minutes from the February 23, 2022 Redevelopment Commission Meetings]
WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM THREE.WE WOULD ALL BE APPROVED THE MINUTES FROM FEBRUARY 23RD AND MARCH 5TH AT OUR NEXT MEETING.
SECOND WEEK IN APRIL, UNLESS WE HAVE A SPECIAL CALL MEETING FOR APRIL 13TH.
[4. Work Group Updates]
ALL FOR, UH, HEALTH AND UH, IT'S THE WORKING GROUP, UM, UPDATES, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, HEALTH AND WELLNESS DISCUSSION, UH, CONTINUED FROM OUR FEBRUARY MEETING.AND THIS WAS THE DISCUSSION OF GOAL FIVE OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE, UH, THE 9 0 8 BLOOMFIELD STREET.
WE WILL AGAIN BE MEETING, UH, AND DISCUSSING THAT AND WE CAN DISCUSS IT RIGHT NOW.
WE NEED TO GO BY HERE ON A SATURDAY, WE DID NOT GO IN.
THERE IS FEELING A LOT OF WORK DONE AS FAR AS NOT A WEAK BROOMFIELD SCREEN AS HE'S CONCERNED.
AND MOST OF US ARE NO THROUGH OUT MANY PLANS IT'S BEEN DONE IN THE CITY.
UM, IT SAYS THE USE THERE WOULD BE A HEALTH AND WELLNESS CLINIC AS FOR AN, UH, AS WELL AS A RESOURCE CENTER.
AND SO A LOT OF THE WORK DONE IS DONE THAT, BUT AGAIN, YOU, THE PARTNERS MOVING, UH, TALKING TO, UM, CAROLINA EAST AND SOME OF THE OTHER PARTNERS, UH, HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
BUT, UM, WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A FIELD ASSESSMENT AND ARCHITECTURAL ASPHALT ASSESSMENT OR REPORT DONE BY A WALKER WHO IS A LOCAL ARCHITECT, UH, THE, UH, CONDITION AND THAT REPORT, UH, WE SEND IT TO YOU, COMMISSIONER LOVE IT, UH, HAS FOR ALL THE COMMISSION AND PROBABLY DON'T HAVE TIME TO, UH, DISCUSS IT, UH, TO NOT CAUSE YOU HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT IT, BUT IT IS PRETTY, UM, IN, IN DEPTH, IF YOU COULD TAKE HER JUST A FEW MINUTES AND TALK JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT BEING, UH, AT THAT WE WERE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE THE PERMISSION, MR. ORLANDER, THAT WE'RE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE, THEY CALLED ME AND PUT ME NEED TO GET THIS DONE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
AND WE ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT WHETHER WE GOING TO WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, OR YOU DON'T WANT TO SET ASIDE ANOTHER, IF YOU HAVE TO WELLNESS OR WE ALL WORK, DID YOU ALL HAVE TO COME BACK ANYWAY, BUT THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO PUT THIS OFF.
UM, CHAIRMAN, WE WENT AND LOOKED AT THE NON-WEIGHT BLOOMFIELD STREET AND MADE A, UM, ARTICLE ASSESSMENT SIMPLY OF WHAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE FOR THIS BUILDING TO BE REUSED FOR ANY PURPOSE.
UM, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR THE MONEY AND TO SUPPORT OUR INITIATIVE.
NUMBER FIVE, AS YOU WERE SAYING, UM, AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE, WE LOOKED AT IT AND AT ONE POINT, UH, TALKING TO, UH, MR. AT THE TIME WE DECIDED LET'S PUT EVERYTHING IN THE PLAN THAT COULD BE DONE TO THAT BUILDING TO IMPROVE IT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE, UM, GRANT FUNDING FOR IT, UNDERSTANDING THAT NOT ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE ASSESSMENT WOULD NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE DONE, OR IT COULD BE DONE.
BUT I WILL SAY THIS, THE PRIMARY THAT NEED TO BE DONE ARE BUILDING ACCESSIBILITY.
THIS WAS FORMALLY A RESIDENCE.
AND SO IT HAS, UM, TWO RESIDENTIAL STYLE BATHROOMS AND ONE KIND OF, UM, ADDED LATER BATHROOM.
NONE OF THE BATHROOMS IN THE HOUSE ARE ASSESSABLE.
AND SINCE THE CITY OWNS THE PROPERTY AND WOULD BE USING IT TO SERVE THE PUBLIC, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE RESTROOMS WOULD NEED TO BE ACCESSIBLE.
UM, THERE WOULD NEED TO BE ACCESSIBLE, UM, WAY INTO THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW THAT IS AT TWO LEVELS.
YOU MAY ENTER THE HOME WAS THE GARAGE, AND THAT IS THE ONLY AREA THAT IS ON GRADE.
THE REST OF IT IS ACCESSED BY STAIRS.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT, UM, LEVELS INSIDE THE HOUSE.
AND DID YOU FOR SATURDAY, I'M SORRY, I COULDN'T BE A PART OF THAT.
WE DID NOT GO IN INSIDE FOR SAFETY REASONS.
UM, I MEAN, INSIDE THE BUILDING IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE FOR A BUILDING THAT'S BEEN SITTING ON OCCUPIED.
UM, BUT THE ACCESSIBILITY IS A MAIN THING THAT WILL HAVE TO BE DONE.
YOU'LL HAVE TO HAVE ACCESSIBILITY.
[00:10:01]
TO BE REPLACED.THE ROOF NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
UM, INSIDE THERE IS SOME WATER DAMAGE.
OUR FIELD ASSESSMENT DID PUT A PRICE ON IF WE REPLACED ALL THE WINDOWS IN THE BUILDING, MOST OF THE WINDOWS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT WE DID LOOK TOO.
PART OF OUR INITIATIVE IS TO BRING ALL THE STRUCTURES THAT WE ARE WORKING ON IN OUR REDEVELOPMENT AREA UP TO ENERGY STANDARDS.
SO THAT WOULD REQUIRE REPLACING THE WINDOWS, UM, REPLACING THE DOORS, BUT FOR THE BUILDINGS TO BE OCCUPIED, THAT WOULD NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO HAPPEN.
IT'S REALLY JUST THE ACCESSIBILITY SOMEWHAT WORK, UM, TO MAKE AN ACCESSIBLE PARKING AREA.
UM, SO, AND THEN WE PUT TOGETHER THAT REPORT OF EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
AND THAT IS WHERE THE COST ESTIMATE THAT CAME OUT FROM LAST TIME.
AND I KNOW THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION IN OUR LAST MEETING OF, IT WAS A LOT OF MONEY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IT WAS GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THE BUILDING TOO FANCY.
I BELIEVE, UM, TAJ MAHAL WAS USED, AND THAT IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT THE CASE.
UM, WITH BUILDING CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, THE PRICE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T THINK THAT EVERY, UM, THING IN THE COST ESTIMATE NEEDS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED, BUT, UM, A GOOD DEAL OF THE DOES TO BE OCCUPIED BY THE PUBLIC.
AND I WANT TO SAY TO, TO, TO, TO MAKE THIS CLEAR, THIS WAS DONE IN SEPTEMBER OR 2021 AND WE ARE, UH, JUST RECEIVING IT, THE FULL BOARD.
SO, UM, IT WILL BE UPLOADED AS PART OF OUR, OUR PACKET ON THE WEBSITES FOR ANYBODY TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT ON THE, UM, ON THE, ON THE WEBSITE.
A LOT OF, BUT I BELIEVE THE TIMING FOR THAT WAS SPECIFIC TO TRYING TO ACHIEVE A GRANT, PUT IT OUT THERE FOR, TO RECEIVE AS MUCH FUNDING AS POSSIBLE THROUGH A GRANT.
I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.
UM, I'VE BEEN TALKING TO MARGARET, A MAN WHO'S BEEN TALKING OR TOMORROW I GOT A MEETING WITH HER, BUT WE KNOW THAT WE NEED A COMBINATION OF THE CITY'S PARTNERSHIP, PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AND, UH, GRANTS READ SOME NICE, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE YES OR NO, AND THEY'LL MAYBE.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU, YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE SUSTAINABLE.
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THAT, BUT, UM, MARGARET, UM, HE HAS ABOUT ABOUT THREE OR FOUR AND THEN, UM, HAD SOME MEETINGS WITH SORT OF ADD SOME LETTERS OF INTENT.
SO SHE'S, SHE'S, SHE'S DOING THAT PART, BUT WE'VE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO MOVE A LITTLE, A LITTLE QUICKER GRANT SOMETIMES CAN TAKE ON THE BEST.
AND ALDERMAN HARRIS WILL TELL YOU AND MYSELF THAT AT LAST NIGHT'S MEETING, UM, WE DISCUSSED ARP BONDS AND ASKED TO COMMIT $250,000 TO THIS PROJECT.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT BEEN VOTED ON OFFICIALLY, BUT DIRECTION HAS BEEN GIVEN.
SO THAT COULD BE A MATCH TOWARDS GETTING, CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THAT ESTIMATES ABOUT 450.
SO, UM, THAT CERTAINLY COULD BE THE MATCH TOWARDS THAT, BUT WE, WE DID GET, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT I'M ALDERMAN, PASTOR ALDERMAN HERE, WHEN YOU GET THE OTHER 250 FROM THE ARP.
WELL, BUT WE COMMITTED 250, RIGHT FOR THIS.
THERE WAS CONVERSATION APPROXIMATELY TO SAY POSSIBLY JUST ALLOCATING $500,000.
THE REDEVELOPMENT DECIDES WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH THOSE FUNDS TO GO TOWARDS THE US MCCARTER HOUSE.
AND THEY ARE STILL THE COMMUNITY BLOCK GRANT FUNDS THAT, YOU KNOW, ONCE THE AGENT PULLS THAT TOGETHER, THAT DECISION THAT THEY DEAL WITH THIS AS WELL, DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN, BUT WE, WE ARE DEFINITELY WANTING TO PARTNER AND MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET AWAY.
AND I, I WANT TO SAY, JUST WANT TO SAY THIS WAS JUST THE BROAD STROKE, UM, AND NOT TO THE PICKY DETAILS OF WHAT WE DON'T HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDOWS OR WE, UM, CERTAIN PARTS OF IT.
I THINK THERE'S SOME PLACES FOR COST SAVINGS AND THIS, BUT, UM, I DO WANT TO INVITE YOU TO REMEMBER THAT ACCESSIBILITY AND THAT THE SYSTEMS, THE HPAC SYSTEM WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED IN THE BUILDING.
THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOOKED LIKE IT WAS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, BUT THE HAC, THE ROOFING SYSTEM AND, UM, ACCESSIBILITY TO ALL THE PLUMBING FIXTURES WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.
IT HAS TO BE ELEVATED HVC SYSTEM.
UM, UH, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SURE, I THINK IT'S OKAY WHERE IT IS, RIGHT.
IT WAS YOUR COST ANALYSIS FOR YOUR PLANE.
WHAT WAS THE COST? NOT THE KID IS CLOSE TO 500, 401 FOR 10 OR 10,600, $1,200.
[00:15:01]
UH, WHAT'S THE, UM, TURNKEY READY WITH, WITHOUT ALL THE GLITZ AND GLAM THE WINDOWS AND ALL THAT.WHAT IS THE, LIKE YOU SAID, PARKING, BUT IT SAYS STABILITY BAFFLES AND THOSE LITTLE BIT THAT, SO WE COULD GET INTO HOW MUCH OF THAT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN QUITE THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, BUT I WOULD SAY IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST HALF OF THAT, IF NOT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 250 AND THE 400,000, THE FIRST CONVERSATION RIGHT HERE WITH THE 2 49, 1 75, 2 25.
WE WERE GETTING THAT BEFORE THEN.
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GREW UP IN ALL THE FOUNDERS, IS THAT WHERE WE GOT THERE FROM THE 2 25 TO FOUR.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
TO BE HONEST, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE HAD THIS ASSESSMENT DONE THAT MIGHT'VE HELPED US.
AND WE KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME NUMBERS OUT THERE I'VE SEEN FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION OR IT UPLOADED TO THE WEBSITE.
WE TURN IT OFF AND GET IT OUT.
LIKE I SAID, WE JUST RECEIVED IT TONIGHT, SO, OKAY.
COMBUSTIBLES, JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK FOLLOWUPS, MS. WALKER, I'M ASSUMING THERE'S A MULTIPLE THAT YOU USE TO INCREASE THE TRADITIONAL CONSTRUCTION PRICES, BUT THAT SEPTEMBER DATE WOULD THAT MULTIPLE STILL APPLIED NOW OR IS, I WOULD ASSUME IT WOULD BE HIGHER.
I WOULD, UH, THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT.
YOU KNOW, THERE IS MORE SUPPLIER, UH, CONSTRUCTION AND, UM, I'M GOING TO SAY IT WAS PRETTY HIGH WHEN WE PUT IT IN THERE, BUT IT IS INDICATIVE OF PROJECTS WE'VE HAD COMPLETED IN THE, IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS.
, THAT'S THE TYPE OF PARTNERSHIP WE NEED TO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS AS WELL TOO.
AND WE HAVE HABITAT IN THE BUILDING, DEFINITELY SAVE ON COSTS.
AND SECONDLY, HAVE COME ON THE SAME LINES.
UH, YOU HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS BRIEFLY ON SATURDAY, AS FAR AS THAT PARKING AREA THAT IS UTILIZED.
THE FRONT IS NOT WHOLLY OWNED BY THE CITY AT THIS TIME AND UNDERSTAND THERE'S SOME APPETITE FOR THE AREA IN THE BACK TO POSSIBLY BE USED AS PARKING, BUT THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE SOME EFFORT AS WELL.
SO AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST TO GET THAT PLACE UP AND OPERATIONAL ABOVE AND BEYOND BUILDING WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, THERE'S GONNA HAVE TO BE SOME SITE WORK DONE OR SOME PROCUREMENT DONE TO GET TO THAT POINT.
SO WHENEVER WE'RE TOSSING NUMBERS AROUND, THAT'S GOTTA BE PART OF IT AS WELL.
I ALSO, NOW I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL WAS AWARE OF, BUT ALSO THE GENTLEMAN THAT OWNS THE LOT RIGHT BESIDE THE MCCARTER HOUSE SAID THAT HE WAS WILLING TO DONATE IT TO THE CITY OF HOPE.
OH BOY, MR. JONES, WHICH SIDE OF THE BAFFLE SIDE OR THAT SIDE, THE BACKSIDE OF THIS FEELS GOOD RIGHT NOW, BUT , THAT'S RIGHT.
HE'S GOING TO DONATE THE LAND IN THE FRONT.
THE OTHER PART THAT THEY TALKING ABOUT THAT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM.
I'VE BEEN SPEAKING TO THE YOUNG LADY.
SO IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF WHETHER THE BUILDING GETS IT GETTING APPROVAL OR NOT.
AND THEN SHE'LL MAKE A DECISION.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK WHEN YOU SAID MR. JONES, REGGIE JONES JONES.
AND THE PERSON THAT HOLDS PROBABLY IS A FAMILY MEMBER, AND I TOLD HIM, HE GOT THAT MEAT WILL HELP.
SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE A FROST, UM, TO RECOMMEND TALKING TO CLIENTS.
UM, I MEAN, UM, WE USED TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC, BUT I GIVE YOU A RANGE MEDICAL CLINIC PROBABLY CLOSER.
SO, UM, WE SHOULD BEGIN IF YOU WILL, UM, FOR US TO, UM, HAVE ANOTHER PHONE MEETING SO WE CAN FINALIZE THESE CAUSE I JUST DON'T THINK WE HAVE A OH, I JUST WANT TO GO ON THE RECORD SAYING I WANT TO THANK THE ALDERMAN, UH, FOR YOUR DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS MATTER AND YOUR SUPPORT IN THIS ENDEAVOR.
WE COULDN'T HAVE DID IT WITHOUT YOU.
UM, WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING OFF A CLIFF BEFORE A LITTLE WHILE, BUT NOW WE'RE BACK ON.
SO I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T SAY
[00:20:01]
THANK YOU TO Y'ALL.I MEAN, IF I HAD PERMISSION, I WOULD LOVE TO COME TO YOUR NEXT MEETING TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE AS WELL.
I THINK THERE WAS A REQUEST FROM THE BOARD LAST NIGHT FOR THIS CONDITION SUPPORT A COST ESTIMATE TO THE BOARD OF INVOLVEMENT.
SO IT MAY BE THAT AFTER THE COMMISSIONER HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DIGEST THE STUDIES CONDUCTED BY MS. WALKER.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANY REVISIONS MIGHT BE REQUESTED OR NECESSARY.
UM, BUT I WOULD, I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU ALL CONSIDERED FURNISHING SOME DOCUMENTS, UM, TO THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN, MAYBE BY THE NEXT MEETING.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEIR NEXT MEETING WAS THE 22ND OF MARCH, BUT AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE, UM, SO THAT THE BOARD OF AUTOMATE CAN TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN THEY'RE CONTINUING THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE APPLICATION OF THE ARP.
THE NEXT, I WOULD SAY THE FIRST MEETING IN APRIL, IT'S THE PUBLIC COMMENT, PUBLIC COMMENT, WHICH IS A BENEFIT, UH, COMMISSIONER WALLACE.
IF YOU WANT HIM TO COME AND SPEAK TO WHEN YOU DO WORK, SHE SAID IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THE FULL, WHAT WAS PASSED ON AND THEN THE BARE MINIMUM OF WHAT WOULD BE UP TO STANDARD AND GET IT READY.
GIVEN THOSE TWO OPTIONS, THE WALL WILL BE ABLE TO ANALYZE BOTH THROUGH, WE CAN GET THROUGH, OKAY.
THAT'S THE FIRST MEETING IN APRIL.
EXCUSE ME, SECOND TUESDAY IN APRIL.
MOVING ON TO HOUSING, THE STATUS OF THE MOVE TO CUBASE, UM, STREET DB FOR, UH, REPAIRS.
UH, AS WE SAW EARLIER, UM, SATURDAY, THE HOUSE IS MOVED THERE.
THE MOVER HAS TO, UM, HAS TO DO SOME, SOME OTHER THINGS TO IT.
AND SO WE NEED TO DISCUSS THE, UH, BEING MORE REPAIRS IN THE, UH, OUR F UH, FEES AND THAT THEY MISS SCHOOL OR STAFF WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING ON THAT.
I WOULDN'T, SHE WOULDN'T KNOW BE A DOCUMENT.
SO, UH, HOW'S THE WORKING GROUP AND SHE GETS THOSE, UH, WE WOULD NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT, UH, LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, UM, BECAUSE WE WILL BE HAVING SOME, UH, OTHER EXPENSES.
I FOLLOW COMING OUT OF THE REBUILDING OF PERMISSIONS FOR SOME ASSESSMENTS AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, UM, I'M GONNA NEED TO LOOK AT, LOOK AT THOSE.
NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERSHIPS, UM, DEPUTY OR, UH, CLEAN UP ON PROJECT.
SO YES, UH, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME MADAM CHAIR, LET ME THANK EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO GO ON THE TOUR WITH US ON SATURDAY.
I THINK IT WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN, UH, YOU KNOW, ALLOWING EVERYONE TO GET A LAY OF THE LAND, SO TO SPEAK, TO BE ABLE TO COME OUT AND SEE THE ACTUAL TERRAIN, INSTEAD OF JUST LOOKING AT A MAP.
AND JUST BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT HAVE SEEN A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS AND, AND THE COMMUNITY, UH, THEY DEFINITELY SAW US AND THEY STARTED TALKING.
SO IT WAS A GOOD THING FOR US TO BE SEEN, TO BE OUT WALKING.
I WANTED TO THANK MR. WILLIAMS FOR JUMPING RIGHT IN ON THAT SITUATION WITH THE, UH, HOUSE ON EUBANK STREET TO GET IT BOARDED UP.
IT WAS NOT ROPED OFF AND THERE WERE NO COMBS OUT WHEN THE GUYS LEFT IT.
I HAVE SINCE THEN BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE MOVERS AND HAVE A NUMBER FOR THEM AND THE, THEY DID TAKE MEASUREMENTS AND THE HOUSE WILL FIT WHERE THAT FLOODING IS.
UH, JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE THAT WAS A CONCERN OF MINE ALSO.
UM, ME AND MR. WILLIAMS WILL BE GETTING TOGETHER AT THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.
THE, THE CLEANUP IS GOING TO BE IN A THREE PHASE PROCESS AND WE'RE GOING TO RIDE OUT.
AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS SOME FAIRLY EASY THINGS THAT WILL SHOW SOME, UH, PROGRESS, BUT WE'LL ALSO BE SOMETHING THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO BE SEEN.
UH, WE STILL NEED TO GET THE BUY-IN.
WE STILL NEED TO GIVE YOU ASSISTANCE.
AND WE STILL HAVE TO HAVE THE PARTNERSHIP OF THE CITY PUBLIC WORKS AND THE COMMUNITY ALL WORKING IN CONCERT.
SO MR. WILLIAMS AND MYSELF WILL BE GOING OUT NEXT WEEK.
AND HOPEFULLY THE NEXT MEETING, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT AS IT, UH, GOES TO THE LOCATIONS THAT WE'LL BE, UH,
[00:25:01]
GOING WITH FIRST, SECOND, AND THEN THAT THIRD WAVE.WHICH ALL TO TAKE A LOOK, UM, , THAT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT PHASE THAT WE'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT WILL REQUIRE A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT.
UH, WE WILL NOT BE USING ANY HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT IN THE FIRST PHASE.
IT'S GOING TO BE MOSTLY MANPOWER AND KIND OF BRINGING EVERYBODY OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT BODY IN AND THE INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A FAIRLY EASY WIN.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS WINS.
BUT WE DO HAVE IN RIGHT THERE WHERE WE MET NOT TO SAY THAT THE HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT IS GOING TO BE NEEDED THERE, BUT THERE'S SOME OTHER PLACES RIGHT UP THE STREET THERE THAT WILL BRING TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION.
UM, UM, IT'S MORE, WHENEVER YOU GUYS DO THAT TOUR, KIND OF PUT OUT A VISUAL LIST TOGETHER AND BE, MAYBE YOU ENTER OUTSIDE OF THE PURVIEW OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD SIDE OF THINGS, WITH THINGS THAT CAME UP A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND A COUPLE OF OUR DIFFERENT COMMISSION, A LOTS ARE SOME STUFF THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THERE.
SO IT CAN BE A LITTLE BIT OF FOCUS ON THOSE LOTS AND KIND OF KEEPING OUR OWN HOUSE IN ORDER WITH THE LOSS WE HAVE.
AND IF THE CITY, WHENEVER WE GET TO THE POINT OF THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT, UH, SHORTLIST FOR THAT, THAT TRAILER IS VACANT RIGHT NOW TO DO MORE THINGS TO COMES OUT.
ALSO SOME OF THE PROPERTY THAT THE CITY DOES ON, WE NEED TO START PUTTING DUMPSTERS OUT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GETTING GRATIFICATION AS IT RELATES TO THE GARBAGE PICKUP.
AND AS I STATED LAST WEEK, IT HAS BECOME MORE OF A HEADACHE.
UH, JUST BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING WITH MULTI-GENERATIONAL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT HAVE MORE THAN THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE, AND THOSE TRASH CANS ARE FILLING UP.
THE RECYCLABLES ARE FILLING UP.
THEY'RE NOT EMPTYING THEM PROPERLY.
UH, SO WE NEED TO GET AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE, UH, DIFFERENT DUMPSTERS IN PLACE ON CITY LOCKS THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN GO OUT AND SO THAT THEY CAN FREE UP THEIR, THEIR CANS.
UH, THE MAIN GROVES THAT RESOLVED ON THE TOUR IS THAT ON YOUR LIST, THE BRUSH IS DEFINITELY ON OUR LIST.
THAT'S ONE OF THE WORDS FROM THE CATHOLIC AND THERE'S A LOT OF OVERGROWN BRUSH THAT THE CITY ORDINANCE DOES NOT SAY THAT YOU HAVE TO GO CLEAN IT UP, IF YOU NOT, AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ORDINARILY CLEANING IT UP, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ON AND THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE SECOND WAY, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUT A LOT OF BRUSH THAT IS OVERGROWN, AND IT'S REALLY A DANGER.
IS THIS A SPOT WHERE WE, WHAT WE SAW WITH THE HOUSE THAT WAS HALF BURNED AND THAT WE NEEDED TO, BECAUSE HE'S TALKING ABOUT A STREET.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BERGEN.
[5. Agreement with Dr. Caldwell update.]
YES.UH, THE AGREEMENT WITH, UH, DR.
CALDWELL, WE'VE GOT THE CALL WE'LL CALL UPDATE.
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT.
CALDWELL, THESE DELIVERABLES SHOULD BE PAGE EIGHT ON THERE, UM, ON THE REVERE.
UM, WE WILL BE MADE HAVING SOME CONVERSATIONS AND MEETINGS WITH HIM AS OF YET, WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN ALL THE DELIVERABLES DELIVERABLE, SO WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION, UH, WITH HIM.
IF YOU LOOK ON PAGE EIGHT, EXHIBIT EIGHT, YOU WILL SEE WHAT THE DELIVERABLES ARE DELIVERABLES ARE.
UM, THERE WAS A SESSION, UH, CONDUCTED.
I KNOW THAT CRAVING CRAVING TERRACE.
UM, MR. LUIGI, ERIC WAS WORKING WITH HIM.
WE NEED TO GET UP, UM, UPDATED.
SO WE'RE NOT WHERE WE NEED TO GO FROM THERE, BUT WE DO KNOW, UH, ITEM TWO GRADED DESIGN CONCEPT DOCUMENTS WOULD SHOW IN RESIDENTIAL DESIGN ELEMENTS AND THE CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN HAS NOT HAPPENED.
UM, THE CONVERSATION WITH HIM, HE COULD NOT FIND AN ARCHITECT AT THAT TIME.
WE NEED TO MAKE UPDATED ONE, THAT NUMBER THREE WAS PROVIDED A DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND TIMELINE AND BUDGET ESTIMATE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SAID A DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
SO WE NEED TO SEE, UH, WHERE, UH, WHERE THEY SEE US.
[00:30:02]
UH, LAST MONTH, UH, WE ARE, ARE, YOU KNOW, UM, A YEAR AND A HALF BEHIND BECAUSE OF COVID AND OTHER THINGS.AND, UH, WE NEED TO GET MOVING.
SO WE NEED TO MAKE, UH, MAKE SOME DECISIONS AS FAR AS THIS IS CONCERNED, BUT WE, FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HIM, UH, WITH THE STAFF THAT IS, UH, CURRENTLY, UH, HERE AND OTHERS.
SO ALL OF US WILL KNOW WHERE IT IS AND ALL OF US CAN BE ON THE SAME PAGE, BECAUSE LET'S SAY MR. JERRY HANDLED A LOT OF, A LOT OF THAT.
THAT'S AN UPGRADE, UM, FOR THAT IT'S ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE CONDITIONER OR, OKAY.
SO MADAM CHAIR, IS THE COMMISSION GIVING DIRECTION TO STAFF TO TAKE ANY PARTICULAR ACTION? YES.
UM, WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO SET UP A MEETING WITH DR.
CALDWELL, UM, AND, UH, MYSELF, UM, OUR TRAINING, MOSTLY JUST THE READINGS, UH, POSSIBLE, AND ONE OF THE PERSON FROM THE HOUSE.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT WILL BE SUPPORT.
AND SO WE COULD DO ZOOM CALLS POSSIBLE IS BETTER.
BUT IF NOT, WE WILL TAKE PHONE CALLS, UM, TO FIND IT, BUT AS HE WANTS TO ON HIS COMPANY.
[6. Discussion and results from the tour.]
SIX, DISCUSSION AS RESULTS FROM THE TOUR.UH, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT, UM, UH, ABOUT THAT.
AND ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, THANK YOU.
WE HAD A LOT OF, UH, THE PUBLIC CITIZENS ARE FROM THAT AREA, PEOPLE THAT WERE CONCERNED WITH THAT AREA THAT CAME AS WELL.
UH, AND SO AGAIN, UH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I, I THOUGHT, UM, THAT IT WENT VERY WELL.
I TOLD, UH, MS. TIFFANY, I SHOULD HAVE INVITED HER ALONG, BUT SHE COULDN'T, SHE COULDN'T TAKE THE WALK, BUT SHE'S WEARING SNEAKERS NOW.
SO NEXT TIME SHE WOULD BE, SHE WILL BE ABLE TO WALK, BUT I TOLD HER THAT WE WERE GOING TO INVITE HER TO THE COMMISSION MEETING TOO, SO THAT WE CAN HEAR, YOU KNOW, BE NO GOSSIP, NO ROOM WAS NO REAL, NOTHING THAT WE CAN HEAR DIRECTLY FROM HER OR WHAT HAPPENED THERE BECAUSE TRIP COURT IS IN THE REDEVELOPMENT BOUNDARIES.
AND SO WE CAN HEAR DIRECTLY, UH, FROM, UH, FROM, UH, HER, I WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO THE, UH, COMMISSION, UM, FOR THE COMMENT THAT, UM, THAT YOU MAY HAVE, UM, FROM THE TOUR AND, YOU KNOW, ALL THE MEN ARE HARRISON.
SHE HAS, SHE HAS, HAS ANY, YES, I NEVER TALKED THIS MUCH, BUT I'M , BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY, UM, LIKE WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WINS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE OPTICS OF THE GOOD WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.
AND, UH, IT MOVED ME WHEN WE GOT OVER THERE.
I CALLED IT THE CRICKET HOUSE, YOU KNOW, I GREW UP WATCHING THE FUN HOUSE, BUT THAT'S THE CRICKET HOUSE.
UH, SO WHEN WE GOT OVER THERE AND WE STEPPED OUT AND, UH, THE CITIZEN, I'M NOT UNCOMMON NAME, I KNOW.
WELL, YOU KNOW, UM, WHEN SHE CAME OUT OF HER HOUSE AND TEARS COMING DOWN, HER FACE, YOU SAW IT, YOU SAW IT.
UM, AND SHE WAS JUST SOME TOUCH THAT ALL THE MEN WERE THERE, WE WERE THERE AND SOMETHING WAS BEING DONE FOR US TO TELL HER, THIS WILL BE DONE WITH ALL OF EXPEDIA'S FEET.
UM, AND THEN TO COME IN HERE MONDAY WHEN WE WERE AT THE BLOCK DRINKING AND TO SEE THE CITIZENS THAT WERE ABOUT TO VOICE THEIR CONCERN, RIGHT.
TO GET USED THE LIBRARY MONDAY, TO TRY TO TURN IT.
BUT THEN WHEN IT GOT TO THAT PARTICULAR CITIZEN, SHE LEANS BACK AND SAY, WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF NOW, MESA NOTICE THAT THAT WAS WORKING, THAT WAS WORK, THIS, OUR BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS.
WE DON'T OWN THIS CONDITION FOR THREE YEARS.
THAT WAS MY PAYMENT RIGHT THERE.
AND I WOULD, AGAIN, I'LL BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T SAY IT, I'M GONNA SAY GOODBYE, BUT AGAIN, THAT'S THE COMMUNITY THAT ROBBIE JC IS SEEING WORK, ACTUALLY BEING DONE.
I JUST WANTED TO DO THE WORK ACTUALLY BEING DONE.
AND IT WAS, I THINK, PERSONIFIED.
SO THAT'S, I WON'T SAY THAT IN THOSE PEOPLE.
I'M JUST SORRY THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE CORE.
UM, BUT, UM, THE LEAVE ME, I VISIT THE AREA OFTEN AND I SEE A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE AREA.
AND I HAVE MADE A LOT OF REQUESTS TO THE CITY ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS IN THE AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.
[00:35:01]
AT SOME POINT IN TIME THAT THIS COMMISSION WON'T HAVE TO PLAN A CLEANUP, THAT WE'RE HAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, THAT OUR CITIZENS WILL BE LIKE, LET'S KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS CLEAN.LET'S US TAKE THIS UPON OURSELVES.
AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO COME TO THAT BECAUSE THE CITIZENS, LIKE YOU SAID, THE CITIZENS SEE WHAT THIS GROUP AND THE CITY, OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY'S TRYING TO CLEAN UP THE AREA AND DON'T CARE FOR THE HOUSES, ALL OF THAT.
I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT I'M NOT.
BUT SO I JUST, I KNOW THAT THAT'S COMING DOWN THE ROAD, THAT OUR CITIZENS IS GOING TO IS GONNA JUMP IN AND, AND THEY GONNA TAKE THE ROPE AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO WITH, AND THIS, ALL OF THIS IS GOING TO BE CLEANED UP ONE DAY.
WE'RE GOING TO SIT BACK AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW CUSTOM FIELD, THREE TO FIVE POINTS.
UM, I'VE JUST GOT A COUPLE QUICK COMMENTS OUT.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE THAT CAME IN WAS A PART OF IT.
AND THAT WAS, IT WAS NICE TO GET THE WHOLE GROUP TOGETHER.
AND THE PUBLIC BECAME ONE AS WELL.
I THINK THAT THAT BUS WAS MOSTLY FULL AND THERE WAS NO CARS FOLLOWING BEHIND IT.
SO THAT WAS NICE TO HAVE HER LAY OUT AND JUST TAKE, MAKE THE LITTLE STOPS AND LET EVERYBODY BE A PART OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT HAVE TAKING PLACE ON THE VARIOUS SITES BETWEEN JOAN STREET AND SECOND, AND A SPIT SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THOSE LOTS, TRYING TO WORK ON A DIFFERENT PIECES, LOOKING AT MAPS, MAKING EVERYTHING WORK AND EVERYTHING OUT OF WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY GO THERE.
SO IT WAS NICE TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST KIND OF CONVEY A LITTLE BIT OF THAT, THAT VISION FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.
YEAH, IT WAS MY FAVORITE PART WAS, WAS DAYS, UH, DAISY AND MANY OF US REMEMBER A LOT OF THINGS THAT, THAT WERE THERE, YOU KNOW, AND JUST STANDING IN THE LOCK AND JUST LOOKING OUT AND SEEING ALL THE POSSIBILITIES OF THINGS, REMEMBERING, YOU KNOW, WE WERE THERE AT THE RECORD STORE WHILE YOUR MOM WAS AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND, YOU KNOW, GETTING THE SHOTS AND ALL THAT.
BUT I REMEMBER ON THIS ONE DAY, ONE WEEK LONG AS WHAT WE THINK EITHER.
SO IT WAS, IT WAS REALLY, REALLY WORTH IT.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THE GLASS WE COULD SEE THIS IS NEAR THING.
IT WAS REALLY, REALLY, UH, REALLY FUN EVEN THOUGH, UH, THEY PICKED ON ME FOR COACH KANE.
YEAH, I HAVE A COMMENT BECAUSE I KNOW I WAS, UH, MR. MORGAN, YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE SHE NEEDS JUST TO TOUCH ON WHAT YOU, IN ORDER TO BEST JUST SPOKE ON, UH, DURING OUR LAST COMMUNITY CLEANUP RIGHT AFTER WE, THEY SAW THAT HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT AND SAW THOSE DIFFERENT DUMPSTERS OUT THERE.
AND WHEN THEY SAW A WAVE OF CITY WORKERS THAT WERE COMING OUT AND HELPING IN THE WEEKS TO COME, UH, THE COMMUNITY SAID, HEY, WE HAVE A FRESH START.
AND THEY DID START TO KIND OF START TO COME OUT.
AND EVEN JEFF RUGGERI, UH, SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS, WHEN THEY WOULD RIDE THROUGH, THEY WOULD SEE PEOPLE ACTUALLY OUT, UH, PICKING UP TRASH, RIGHT.
AND THEY WERE DOING THEIR OWN, UH, CLEANUP UP.
AND WHEN THEY SAW US OUT AND EVEN THE NEWBURGH POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, I MADE A POST ON FACEBOOK, I THINK LAST YEAR, UH, I WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND THERE WERE JUST THREE OR FOUR POLICE CARS OF MY OWN.
I CAME OUT AND WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I KNEW THERE WERE THE BROWN THERE SOMEWHERE, BUT THE POLICEMAN, THEY HAD BUY-IN THEY WERE AROUND IN MY COMMUNITY PICKING UP TRASH.
SO I WENT TO A COUPLE OF NEIGHBORS HOUSE.
I SAID, HEY, I KNOW YOU GOT KIDS.
IF THEY CAN BE OUT HERE, THEY NEED TO COME OUT.
AND THEY SAID, YEAH, THEY WENT AND GOT THE KIDS UP EIGHT 30 IN THE MORNING AND THEY WERE OUT PICKING UP TRASH.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE CONTAGIOUS.
IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO CATCH HOME AND IT'S GOING TO CATCH FIRE.
AND THEY JUST WANT TO BE ALL IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA, JUST GIVING A LITTLE BIT OF ATTENTION.
AND WHEN YOU GIVE THEM THAT ATTENTION, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO COME OUT AND DO THEIR PART.
AND ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS IS GOING TO KEEP SOME OF THAT TRASH OFF THE GROUND IS WHEN WE COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE CANS ARE BEING EMPTIED, EMPTIED ON A REGULAR BASIS, BEING EMPTY PROPERLY.
AND THAT THE DRIVERS ARE NOT JUST KNOCKING CANS OR WHATEVER'S FALLING OUT EITHER THE HOMEOWNERS OR WHOEVER IT IS, BUT WE CAN'T JUST CONTINUE TO LET THIS TRASH LINGER, LET IT SIT AND SAY, HEY, I'M GOING TO TURN MY HEAD AND I'M GOING TO ACT LIKE I DON'T SEE IT WHEN YOU DEFINITELY SEE IT BECAUSE YOU STEP OVER IT EVERY DAY.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO GET INTO.
EVERYBODY SAID TO WORK ON THE SAME ACCORD, BUT I DO AGREE.
IT WON'T BE AS LONG AS IT HAS BEEN.
[00:40:01]
YOU IS, UM, YOU KNOW, , UH, IS, UM, BUT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT SAME THING WITH TRASH CANS.SO THERE HAS TO BE A SOLUTION, I MEAN, FOR THE LAST 27 YEARS.
SO, UM, IS IT THAT WE NEED TO TALK TO GFL? WE NEED TO DO, UH, IS IT LIKE GETTING A COMMITTEE TOGETHER OR SOMETHING? WELL, THE TRASH PICKUP IS ONCE A WEEK AND WE'RE SAYING, YOU KNOW, THAT ISN'T ENOUGH BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL FLOAT.
IS IT THAT WE GIVE EACH PERSON AN ADDITIONAL TRASH CAN, WOULD THAT HELP IF THEY DON'T WANT TO DO AN ADDITIONAL PICKUP? I DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A HALFWAY MARK, BUT WE NEED PUBLIC WORKS TO ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS IS THAT YOU HAVE MULTI-GENERATION, YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THAT HOUSE AND WHAT THEY HAVEN'T RECYCLED BEING THAT'S EMPTY.
SO WHEN THAT TRASHCAN FILLS UP, THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IT IN THE RECYCLE BIN.
THEN THE GUYS IN THE TRUCK, I'M NOT GOING TO GET THE, THIS, BUT THEN WHEN IT FILLS UP, THEY SAY, WELL, NOW I CAN'T EMPTY IT BECAUSE OF RECYCLABLES BECAUSE YOU HAVE GARBAGE IN IT.
AND SO IT'S SO IT'S, SO IT'S A NEVER ENDING CYCLE THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS.
AND IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED, WHETHER IT'D BE AN EXTRA DAY OF CLEANUP, WHETHER IT BE JUST A COUPLE OF TRUCKS THAT JUST COME OUT AND SAY, HEY, ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, WE'RE JUST GOING TO PICK UP EVERYTHING.
BUT THE, BUT THE RECYCLABLE PICKUP DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH.
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SAVING.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I MEAN, THAT'S EVERYBODY IN THE CITY ONCE A MONTH, EVERYBODY, THAT'S A PROBLEM.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF THE COMMITTEE THAT MEETS WITH THE POWERS THAT BE, OR THE COMPANY TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE THERE'S GOT TO BE AN ISSUE.
IF YOU DON'T LIVE OVER THERE, OR IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN IT, THEN YOU DON'T SEE IT.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH WALKING THROUGH.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE WE SEE IT AND LIVE IT EVERY SINGLE DAY.
IT'S WHAT YOU'RE SPEAKING OF IN JUST ONE AREA.
WAS IT ALL OVER? IT'S EVERYWHERE.
IT'S ALL OVER, BUT IT'S CONCENTRATED OVER IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA BECAUSE IT JUST LOOKS LIKE IT'S PART OF THE LANDSCAPE.
AND I HATE TO SAY IT TRASH SHOULD NOT BE PART OF THE LANDSCAPE OF THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING OUT AND THROWING IT ON THE GROUND.
WIND IS BLOWING AS THEY TRY TO PICK IT UP BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH TRASH IN THERE.
IT BLOWS OUT THE DRIVERS ARE NOT GETTING OUT.
THEY'RE NOT PICKING UP WHAT FALLS ON THE GROUND.
THEY'RE NOT GETTING UP, PICKING THOSE TAGS UP.
THE THINGS THEY CANNOT, THEY CANNOT GET OUT IN IT.
THEY CANNOT GET OUT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN, UH, I DON'T WANT TO SAY ARE SAFETY.
LIKE THEY USED TO, PEOPLE WERE COMING.
AND I THINK WE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WHEN THE CANS FIRST CAME.
REMEMBER EVERYBODY WAS SAYING THE SAME THING.
THE CANS ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH.
PEOPLE HAVE MORE TRASH THAN THAT.
EVEN IF YOU RECYCLE EVERY, EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, YOU STILL, I MEAN, THE CANS ARE NOT THAT, NOT THAT LARGE.
SO THAT'S BEEN THE COMPLAINT, UM, FOR LONG UPON ALL OVER THE CITY WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED USING THEM.
SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF THINGS.
SO I THINK PROBABLY IT'S, LIKE I SAID, HIM TOGETHER WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND, AND, AND, AND NEEDS TO BE HIM.
CAN WE SET THAT UP WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND GET, UM, NICK BIG DAILY, DAILY? HE'S THE DECIDING WOULD BE THE ONE THAT GETTING TO THE TABLE AND YEP.
YOU KNOW, WHAT, A LOT OF WORK AND SEE IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER AN EXTRA PICKUP DAY OR WHATEVER, IT WOULD BE ADDITIONAL TRASH GAMES.
I'M WONDERING IF THE DUMPSTER GOT PLACED THERE.
SO WHAT DIDN'T FIT IN THEIR TRASH, CAN'T GO TO THE ACTION PLANS.
WOULD THEY WALK TO IT THOUGH? OR WOULD YOU HAVE TO PUSH YOUR CAT UP TO HER? YOU KNOW, THERE'S CERTAIN WAYS THAT THEN YOU'D HAVE TO ISSUE OUT, BUT THERE ARE WAYS THAT WE CAN ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT BEING ON THE GROUND AS US COUNTY PROCESS.
SO IF WE COULD HAVE, CAUSE I MEAN, IT'S IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA, SO IT IS, IT IS, IT IS PART OF OUR CONCERN.
SO IF WE COULD GET A MEETING OR JUST SALT, TO BE ABLE TO FIND THAT GROUP, WE GO FROM WHERE WE GO.
UH, ONE TIME, ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE TRASH CANS BECAUSE WE HAD HAD THIS PROBLEM ONCE BEFORE.
AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WAS LOOKING INTO GETTING A BIGGER CONTAINER BACK IN 18 GALLON, 26 GALLON TRASH CAN AND GIVING THE RESIDENTS MORE THAN WHAT YOU KNOW,
[00:45:01]
LIKE YOU DO A SURVEY, HOW MANY IS IN YOUR HOME? YOU KNOW, THEN THAT HAVE DEDICATED YOU, HOW MANY TRASH CANS YOU CAN OWN ALL, HOW MANY TRASH CAN, THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU? BECAUSE LIKE HE SAYS, PEOPLE COME FROM ALL THE GENERATION, AIN'T BACK THERE BY THE GRAVEYARD.PEOPLE COME OUT ALL TIME KNOCKS AND YOU CAN SEE BAGS WHERE THEY COME BACK AND THROW THE TRASH SHIT BACK THERE IN THERE.
SO IT'S JUST REALLY A MATTER OF DEAL RESURVEY AND SEE WHAT'S, YOU KNOW, WELL, IT'S JUST TIME TO REVISIT IT.
AND AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH DIRECTOR OF MAD, MR. WILLIAMS, GET ANYTHING REGARDING THE TOUR.
YOU DIDN'T BUY ME LUNCH, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
I WOULD SAY, YEAH, I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE THAT LONG, BUT I CAN TELL YOU ALL WHAT REALLY INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED THE, EVERYBODY, ALL OF THEM AND ALL OF THE WOMAN, UM, TO ADDRESS A LOT OF DIVISIONS HAS REALLY BEEN INSPIRING.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE BIGGEST THING I'VE NOTICED IS THAT THEY REALIZE THAT THESE COMMUNITIES ARE LOOKING FOR A HANDOUT.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR A HAND AND, AND JUSTICE COMMISSIONER SAID, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT.
AND I THINK MOVING WITH THE EFFORTS THAT THEY'RE MAKING AND THERE WE'RE TRYING TO DO RIGHT NOW, IT'S GONNA GO A LONG WAY.
AND I, AND I'LL TELL YOU, I REALLY ENJOY HISTORY.
A LOT OF THE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AND DRIVING AROUND WITH IT.
I KNOW YES, IT WAS THE MAIN ROAD THAT WAS THE MAIN ROAD IN AND OUT OF NEUBERGER WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET DOWN ANYWHERE EAST OR LET US GO TO .
I JUST WANTED TO SAY, AND YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK THAT EVERYBODY ON THIS COMMISSION DOES.
I KNOW SOMETIMES IT COULD BE A THANKLESS JOB AND IT CAN BE VERY EMOTIONAL AND STRESSFUL BECAUSE YOU GO THROUGH THE COMMUNITIES AND YOU SEE THE WANTS AND THE NEEDS.
AND WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, REVISE, RELATION REVITALIZATION, IT'S NOT JUST A DANIEL HOOD IS MIND, BODY, SOUL, AND HEALTH.
AND YOU HAVE A LOT THAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
AND A LOT, I APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK AND IT WAS FUN GETTING ON THE BUS FOR THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN HERE, 11 YEARS, NEVER BEEN ON A CITY, TAKING THE TOUR AND AGAIN, HERE AND THE HISTORY.
AND THANK YOU MARTIN FOR, UM, JUMPING ON THE SAFETY FOR THE COMMUNITY AND MAKING SURE THAT THAT HOUSE GOT TAKEN CARE OF.
AND IT'S JUST NICE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, TO FRUITION WHAT'S GOING ON FOR, YOU KNOW, THREE YEARS.
THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT ALTERED IN BINGO.
UM, WHEN YOU'RE IN BIG HORN IN ONE OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT SHE WANTED TO DO WITH THE COMMISSION AND YOU ALL ARE IN AGREEMENT, AND I'M JUST EXCITED WHERE YOU GUYS ARE GOING, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO.
AND LIKE YOU SAID, EVENTUALLY THERE WILL NOT BE THIS COMMISSION BECAUSE YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR THAT COMMUNITY.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN IT FROM THERE.
SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.
[7. Discussion on conveyance of the property located at 1412 -1414 Washington Street. ]
ITEM SEVEN, I THINK WE THINK WE ARE DISCUSSION, UH, AROUND THE CONVEYANCE OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 14, 12, 14, 14 WASHINGTON STREET.WE DID VISIT THEIR ROOMS SATURDAY.
MADAM CHAIR, I'VE RECEIVED SEVEN PHONE CALLS REGARDING FOURTEEN, TWELVE, FOURTEEN, FOURTEEN WASHINGTON STREET.
UM, AS I'VE INDICATED IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS, THESE ARE TWO PROPERTIES THAT ARE OWNED BY A GENTLEMAN.
UM, I'M NOT SURE IF I GAVE THE ENTIRE BACKGROUND, BUT THE GENTLEMAN WHO OWNS THESE PROPERTIES IS VERY ILL AND HE IS SEEKING A TRANSPLANT OF SOME SORT, AND HE HAS TO UNBURDEN HIMSELF OF HIS PROPERTIES BUSINESS.
WHAT HE IS CONVEYED TO ME IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR CERTAIN BENEFITS THAT WOULD ALLOW HIM TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HIS TRANSPLANT.
UM, THERE ARE SOME TAXES THAT ARE OWED ON THIS PROPERTY, AS YOU MAY RECALL, AS WELL AS THE DEED OF TRUST.
AS FAR AS ENCUMBRANCES GO, THE DATA TRUST IS, IS SIGNIFICANT.
UM, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE PAID OFF IN EITHER JUNE OR JULY, DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOU TALK TO THE OWNER OR THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT IT FROM THE AMOUNT THAT'S OWED ON THE DATA.
TRUST IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1,520 $500, DEPENDING ON WHO YOU TALK TO.
UM, AND MR. DAY AND THE PERSON WHO HE FINANCED THE PROPERTY FROM, FOR IN CONTINUED DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF THE DEED OF TRUST.
UM, ONE OF THE AGENTS INVOLVED THAT I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH
[00:50:01]
HAS ASKED THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION CONSIDER A FIRING THIS PROPERTY IN JUNE, WHICH WOULD GIVE THEM TIME TO UNENCUMBERED OR EXTINGUISHED THE DATE OF TRUST THAT CURRENTLY ENCUMBERS THE PROPERTY, UM, THAT WOULD NOT NECESSARILY DO AWAY WITH TAX.I KNOW THAT I THINK THE COUNTY HAS ALREADY STARTED THE TAX FORECLOSURE PROCESS ON ONE OF THESE PROPERTIES, BUT THAT IS THE CURRENT STATE.
SO IF THE BOARD, IF THE COMMISSION IS INCLINED TO ACQUIRE THESE PROPERTIES, UM, I'M SAYING IT IT'S CLOSE TO THE FIELD NOW AND MAY AID IN SOME OF THAT PROCESS.
UM, IF YOU WANT TO TRY TO ACQUIRE IT NOW, IT WOULD BE ACQUIRING A PROPERTY THAT HAS A DEED OF TRUST THAT HAS POTENTIAL TAX FORECLOSURES, AND ALSO INCLUDES AN INHABITED STRUCTURE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT MEET A MINIMUM HOUSING CODE THAT HAS A TENANT.
SO THOSE ARE SOME SIGNIFICANT ISSUES, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN RESOLVED SINCE THE LAST MEETING AND MAY NOT BE RESOLVED UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE SUMMER.
WHAT ABOUT THE, SO THE CURRENT OCCUPANT HAS BEEN THERE FOR NINE AND A HALF YEARS.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING HE'S BEEN PAYING RENT, UM, THAT ENTIRE TIME, ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT OWNER, HE'S BEEN A VERY GOOD TENANT AT THIS TIME.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S BEEN ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH THAT TENANT ABOUT POSSIBLE ACQUISITIONS SALES, OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO THAT INDIVIDUAL.
SO THAT'S ALL THE INFORMATION I HAVE ABOUT THE CURRENT OCCUPANT.
I'M LOOKING TO HEAR ANY OTHER COMMENTS AND THEN YOU WISH I PULLED IN FRONT OF THE FOREMAN, MY THOUGHT, AND I'M GOING TO LOOK AT LEGAL ANSWER HERE.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO GO INTO THE CLOSED SESSION TO DISCUSS OFFICIALLY MOVING TO A QUIETER PARTNER.
IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE CONTRACT, YOU NEED TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION ABOUT MATERIAL TERMS. I MEAN, CONTRACT PRICE, UM, ANY PARTICULARS THAT MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE THE CONTRACT.
IF YOU ARE TALKING GENERALLY ABOUT YOUR WILLINGNESS OR UNWILLINGNESS TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY THAT NO FURTHER COMMENTS.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M GENERALLY WILLING TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS OF ACQUIRING THAT PROPERTY.
SO I'LL LET THE REST OF THE COMMISSION MEMBERS MAKING COMMENTS, THEN CONSIDER A MOTION.
[8. Closed Session.]
SO I THINK COMMISSIONER STRICKLAND'S MOTION IS TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION TO DISCUSS THE POSSIBLE ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY PURSUANT TO NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL STATUTE CHAPTER 1 43 DASH 3 18 11, SUBSECTION FIVE, OR UH, WE TALKING ABOUT, ARE WE ONLY GOING TO DISCUSS WITH ONE HORSE ON THE PROPERTY OR ARE WE GOING TO, TO THIS? OH YES.14, THAT ONE PARTICULAR PROPERTY, BUT NO OTHER PROPERTIES OF THE BAND DOSE, CORRECT? INCLUDING TYPICALLY MATERIAL CONDITIONS TO IT REAL ESTATE CONTRACTS.
IT WAS MORE, THEY HAD A QUESTION.
CAN I ASK WHAT, WHAT IS THE COMMISSION'S PLANS FOR THIS PARCEL OF LIGHT, BUT HE'S TWO PARCELS OF LAND RIGHT THERE BESIDE A CANAL, THE IMMEDIATE NEED PERMISSION FROM THE CITY AND THE GENERAL.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE SLIVER THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT? PROCEDURALLY SECOND TO MR. STRICKLAND'S MOTION.
WELL LASTLY, I WILL ASK THE AGENDA ITEM.
UM, WE, UH, FOUND OUT THAT, UM, WE COULD NOT TAKE THE VOLVO OF CONDITIONER, UH, WALLETS.
HE WAS GETTING BREAKFAST AND WE COULD NOT TAKE HIS VOTE BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE PHONE.
[00:55:01]
VOTE AGAIN FOR THE RESOLUTION TO OUR, UM, SEARCH FOR, FOR, UH, WELL, NOT TO HAVE TO GIVE FUNDS TOWARDS UP TO TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARD THE HIRING OF A, UM, EXECUTIVE SEARCH TEAM FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.OH, EVERYBODY'S CLEAR ABOUT WHAT THIS DID NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE BENEFIT OF THE FULL EXPLANATION DURING THE SATURDAY WHIRLWIND TOUR.
UM, THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN HAS MADE A SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONS CONTINUED SUCCESS.
AND IN FEBRUARY, THE SECOND MEETING IN FEBRUARY, THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN VOTED TO FUND A FULL-TIME POSITION AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND WHAT THE CITY MANAGER HAS ASKED IS, AND I THINK THE PAY RANGE IS I THINK, $71,000 TO ABOUT $115,000.
UM, WHICH WOULD THE INDIVIDUAL BE A CITY EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, UM, FROM NOW UNTIL THE MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED? AND WHAT THE MANAGER HAS ASKED IS THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT AID AND THE SEARCH FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UM, THIS WILL BE A NATIONWIDE SEARCH AND WOULD UTILIZE AN EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM TO SCOUR THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH FOR THE BEST TALENT, TO BRING THOSE INDIVIDUALS TO THE CITY OF NEWBURGH, FOR THE STAKEHOLDERS TO VET THAT INDIVIDUAL, UM, AND ULTIMATELY TO MAKE A SELECTION.
SO THE MANAGER ESTIMATES THAT THAT EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM COUGHS COULD BE UP TO $25,000.
AND IT HAS BEEN REQUESTED THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION CONSIDER ALLOCATING FUNDS UP TO $25,000 TO EIGHT IN THAT SEARCH.
SO WHAT WAS BEFORE YOU ON SATURDAY WAS THIS BODY TO AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR, DECIDED RESOLUTION PLEDGING UP TO $25,000, UM, TO, TO FINANCE THE EXECUTIVE SEARCH.
I THINK BASED ON THE POLL THAT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY, I THINK YOU'RE INCLINED, BUT SINCE WE HAVE A QUORUM IN LIVING COLOR TONIGHT, WE NEED TO MAKE IT SUPER DUPER NO, SHE'S NOT VOTING THIS MORNING AND TO RECUSE MYSELF, YOU MUST COMPREHEND THE VOTE TO A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
SO WITH THEM, YOU SAID, ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU HAVE A CONFLICT? YES.
SO THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A MOTION, A FINANCIAL ENTRANCE.
THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A MOMENT TO RECUSE COMMISSIONER STRICKLAND.
AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT EITHER.
THAT IS BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE A COMPANY YOU HAVE TO STATE WHAT YOUR CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS AND WE, AND THEN THE BOARD HAS TO VOTE TO ACCEPT YOUR STATEMENT OR REJECT YOUR STATEMENT.
IS THERE A REQUIREMENT THAT YOU CAN YOURSELF? IF THAT MEANS YOU JUST ARE NOT VOTING, IT'S STILL BETTER THAN YESTERDAY, YESTERDAY.
WELL, YOU HAVE TO STATE THE BASIS FOR YOUR, YOU SAY YOU HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST.
GET THAT, THAT INTEREST IS ESSENTIALLY BEING MADE.
IF SOMEONE POTENTIALLY CONSIDERING REQUESTING ME TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS AS IT GOES FORWARD.
DID EVERYONE HERE UNDERSTAND THE REASON YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN APPLYING FOR POSITIONS I'VE BEEN APPROACHED AND CONSIDERED? THAT WAS TRYING TO KEEP EVERYTHING ABOVE AND BEYOND.
SO THAT IS FINANCIAL, RIGHT? RIGHT.
WHAT ELSE? BUT IT'S STILL, YOU STILL HAVE AND WARM TO CONDUCT THE MEETING.
SO WHEN FIVE PEOPLE SHOW UP THAT ARE VOTING MEMBERS, YOU HAVE A CORE QUESTION.
IS CAN WE PARTICIPATE IN CODE? AND BASED ON HIS STATED FINANCIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IF YOU ARE INCLINED TO ACCEPT THAT REASON, SOMEONE WOULD NEEDS TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCUSE MR. STRICKLAND.
HE GOT TO MAKE A MOTION, FIVE EXCUSING THIS DISTRICT.
WE CAN MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT HIS REASONABLE, REASONABLE, AND I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO BEFORE YOU PUT IT.
[01:00:01]
HAVE 1, 2, 3, 4, HOLD 2, 3, 4, 5.MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT, TO RECOVER FROM THIS PARTICULAR BOOK.
I SAID, OKAY, SO NOW WE NEED A MOTION, UH, TO SIGN THE RESOLUTION, NOT TO EXCEED $25,000 STORE.
I MAKE A MOTION TO SIGN THE RESOLUTION, THE MOOD BOARD OR MAX DON'T GET, DON'T GET CRAZY OUT THERE FOR A MAX OF $25.
I CAN HAVE A MOTION TO BRING THIS DISTRICT.
