I LIKED IT PRESENTED, I THINK THE SIGNAGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIGN AT FIRST AND PRESENTED MY DIVISION?
AND NEXT THING WE HAVE THE PRESENTATION OF A RESOLUTION DIRECT UP AND WRITTEN THERE, HERE.
LET ME SAY A FEW THINGS ABOUT THAT BEFORE I LEAVE.
I HADN'T BEEN THE MAYOR VERY LONG.
YEAH, YOU CAN COME ON FORWARD.
I GUESS THIS IS THE WAY THAT THEY DO IT EFFICIENTLY.
SO I'M STILL A NOVICE, BUT I'VE BEEN TO MAYOR PROBABLY A MONTH AND THIS FELLOW CAME UP BEFORE US AND HE HAD THESE BILE, SOME, SOME SOMEWHAT OF SALACIOUS, THE SAMPLES CAME FROM THE OTHER AND YADA YADA GOT EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION AND I'LL HAVE TO GIVE YOU CREDIT.
YOU REALLY MADE EVERYBODY AWARE.
NOT ONLY ALL THE THINGS THAT THE PUBLIC KNOWS THAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN CREDIT FOR, BUT JUST THE FACULTIES YOU MADE EVERYBODY REALLY AWARE OF WHERE EVERYTHING GOES.
BECAUSE I MEAN, IF I, IF I SPELL IT LAST A WATER, MY FIRST OFF IS WHICH WAY IS IT GOING ON?
[00:10:03]
AND, UH, YOU REALLY HAVE A TREMENDOUS JOB AND WE APPRECIATE IT AS A BOARD.AND I THANK YOU ALL OF A SUDDEN, AS FAR AS THE CITY'S CONCERNED WITH YOU ABOUT WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE TRY TO DO IT.
IT SAYS, WHEREAS RICK IS THERE UNDER THE TITLE OF HERO OF THE PLANET.
THAT'S ABOUT AS BIG AS YOU CAN GET TAB FOR KIDS MAGAZINE.
AND WHEREAS HE IS OUR NEWS RIVERKEEPER.
AND WHEREAS RICK DOVE BECAME A PART OF THE NEWS RIVER FOUNDATIONS RIVER ADVOCATE ADVOCACY PROGRAM AFTER SHUTTING DOWN A FISHING BUSINESS TO DEVOTE MORE TIME AND EFFORTS AND CLEANING UP THESE RIVER.
AND WHEREAS HE WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE LITTLE NEWS RIVERKEEPER PROGRAM AND WHICH VOLUNTEERS AND BLEEDING CHILDREN CONTROL THE RIVER FOR THE SIZE OF POLLUTION.
AND WHEREAS WE WERE APPRECIATIVE OF RICK DEB'S DEDICATION AND INTEREST OF THIS CALL NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN IN THE CITY OF BEAVERTON AND ONE, WE EXPRESS OUR SINCERE APPRECIATION AND THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO OUR COMMUNITY.
AND TO THAT, WE HIGHLY COMMAND RICK THOUGH, FOR THE MANNER IN WHICH HE CARRIES OUT HIS RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES AS RIVER.
AND THANK YOU FOR THE FACT THAT MY HOUSE WAS ON 60 MINUTES.
I NEVER KNOW, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'VE COME A LONG WAY TOGETHER IN THE LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS.
AND WE'VE LEARNED A LOT TOGETHER.
WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT PROBLEMS. WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT IT SOLUTIONS AND I'M REALLY PLEASED AT NEWBURN IS THAT'S PART OF THE SOLUTION.
I MEAN, YOU'VE TAKEN, ATTRACT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A BIG PART OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM.
BUT YOU KNOW, ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS IS I THINK WE'VE LEARNED RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER AND WORK TOGETHER.
AND I THINK THAT REALLY SAYS SOME REAL GOOD THINGS ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING IN THE FUTURE AND HOW LITTLE TIME IT MAY TAKE US TO GET TO WHEREVER WE NEED TO GO.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS, MR. MARIN OR ALDERMAN.
THE PROGRAM IS MADE UP OF SOME 300 ACTIVE VOLUNTEERS.
THESE ARE THE UNSUNG HEROES THAT ARE OUT THERE ALL WEEK LONG, TAKING SAMPLES AND SENDING IN REPORTS.
AND I GET THE BLAME AND I GET THE CREDIT, BUT THE REAL WORK GETS DONE BY THOSE PEOPLE.
SO FOR THEM AND, AND, AND FOR, FOR THIS, THANK YOU FOR, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT SOMEBODY ELSE DOES AT WORK AND YOU GET THE CREDIT AND THE BLAME
I REALLY, REALLY FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS A SEWER REPORT, MR. DAVID MUSE UH, TREATMENT PLANT TREATED A TOTAL OF 96.4 MILLION GALLONS A DAY DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, THAT IS AN AVERAGE OF 3.1 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.
THE MAXIMUM FLOW WAS 3.5 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY.
UH, THE BOD EFFICIENCY REMOVAL WAS 94% SUSPENDED.
SOLIDS EFFICIENCY REMOVAL WAS 91%.
AND OUR FOSTERS TO AVERAGE FOR THE QUARTER, OCTOBER BEING THE FIRST MONTH OF THE QUARTER WAS 1.98 TO, UH, EVERYTHING IN THE PLAN IS IN COMPLIANCE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS A CONSENT AGENDA.
SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION MAY, IF I MAY MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS, UH, THAT IS THE
THE ONE WITH REFERENCES MADE IN ITEM SEVEN, ITEM 10 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE CITY COUNTY CONTRACT COUNTY USING CITY.
YOU FILLED THE THEATER SYSTEM TOGETHER.
THE DOCUMENT THAT WAS, UH, CAME THROUGH ROB FUCKING SPRINT 17 PAGE.
[00:15:01]
I REDRAFTED IT.SO IF TO INCLUDE THOSE THINGS, WHICH NEEDED TO BE IN INCLUDING IT REBELLION THAT THE CITY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COUNTY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
AND THAT'S THE ONE, THAT'S THE ONE THAT YOU APPROVED.
IT PERMITS THE CANDIDATE TO USE UTILITY POLES FROM THE FACILITY.
THE MAYOR OF THE BILL IN ESCAPING COUNTY SERVICE RUNS ALL THE WAY DOWN, UH, NEUSE BOULEVARD AT BROAD STREET TO THE
AND THEN COMING ON DOWN THIS SIDE OF THE STREET AND PAUSE, AND I RECOMMENDED THAT IF THE DOCTOR SAID TO MOVE BY THEN THE SECOND IS
THAT'S THE LIGHTNESS, UH, WOULD LIKE TO MENTION FOR THE INFORMATION ON THE ALDERMAN THAT LAST NIGHT, THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS APPROVED INSTALLATION OF A 195 FOOT MODEL POLO, UM, MICROWAVE TOWER, RIGHT BEHIND THE NEW CINEMA ON NEUSE BOULEVARD.
IT WAS A VERY CONTROVERSIAL THING.
THOSE TOWERS WERE BEGINNING TO POP UP EVERYWHERE AND THEY'RE UGLY AND WE DON'T LIKE THEM, BUT WE ALSO HAVE AVOIDED, UH, SOME TOWERS BEING ERECTED BY USING EXISTING FACILITIES, LIKE PUTTING ONE ON ONE OF OUR WATER TOWERS.
AND I HOPE WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO MORE OF THAT IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE THESE THINGS ARE NOT THE BEST THINGS TO HAVE STICKING UP IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, I GUESS RIGHTLY SO SAYS, COMMUNICATIONS ARE A FLIGHT ARE VITAL TO OUR MODERN DAY EXISTENCE.
AND THAT AT SOME POINT WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET RID OF ALL OUR MOST, ALL OF THESE WOODEN POLES STICKING UP AND EVERYBODY'S YARD AND ALL TELEPHONE SERVICE BE CELLULAR.
AND I THINK THAT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN MAYBE IN MY LIFETIME.
SO WE'LL BE SEEING MORE OF THESE POLES, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO WORK OUT A WAY THAT WE CAN DISGUISE THEM BY PUTTING THEM IN RECREATION AREAS AND PUTTING LIGHTS ON THEM, TO HELP WITH LIGHTING BALL FIELDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT THERE WILL BE ONE GOING UP THERE AT THE BACK CORNER OF THE NEW CINEMA BEFORE TOO LONG, MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, UH, SINCE THERE'S ONLY GOING TO BE ONE OTHER MEETING BETWEEN NOW AND CHRISTMAS, THIS A NORMAL THING THAT WE'D BEEN DOING IN THE PAST IS TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY EMPLOYEES TO TAKE A MANDATORY HALF DAY OBLIQUE ON THE DAY PRIOR TO THE TIME THEY GET OUT CHRISTMAS UNDER OUR POLICY, THEY HAVE A HALF DAY AND THEN THE EXTRA TWO.
SO WHAT WE NORMALLY DO IS WE REQUIRE THEM TO TAKE A DAY OF VACATION OR A HALF DAY VACATION TO COINCIDE WITH THAT SO THAT WE CAN CLOSE DOWN FOR THAT DAY.
ALSO, I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT WE AUTHORIZE THAT TO BE DONE THIS YEAR.
SO ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, JUST A VOICE VOTE ALL IN FAVOR, SAY, AYE, THAT'S IT.
I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE ONE COMMENT THAT I APPRECIATE THESE FOREST PARKING WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND BULLETS AND ALL KINDS OF PHOTOS AND, UH, IN SOLVING RECENT CRIME, AT LEAST ARREST THE SUSPECT AND THE VICTIM, THE DA I THINK SAID ON TV, THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A MONTHLY THING FROM NOW ON WHEN EVERYBODY GETS TOGETHER.
AND I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT EVERYBODY'S ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER AS WELL AS IT IS LIKE, CAUSE I DON'T THINK EVERY, EVERY AREA CAN CLAIM THAT YES, SIR.
THE HOUSING AUTHORITY HAS ASKED US TO, UH, GO AHEAD AND SIGN THEIR CONTRACT AGAIN FOR THE, UH, DRUG ELIMINATION GRANT, THE ANNUAL
[00:20:02]
FUNDS THAT ARE PROVIDED BY HUD IN ORDER TO ASSIST IN ELIMINATING DRUGS FROM PUBLIC HOUSING.UH, I BELIEVE THAT, UH, YOU HAVE THE CONTRACT AVAILABLE FOR CIGARETTES.
I COULDN'T HEAR WHAT YOU SAID.
I THINK YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY CONTRACT, THE DRUG ELIMINATION GRANT.
IT'LL BE READY AT THE NEXT MEETING.
HE'S GOTTEN TO MY OFFICE DURING THE WEEKEND WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN.
I SAID, SEMINAR AT WAKE FOREST.
HE APPEARS TO BE ALL RIGHT, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CHANGES IN THAT WE WANTED TO CONFIRM WHY WOMAN AND THE MAN IN THE PARTY WITHOUT THEY, AS FAR AS I KNOW, NEVER DID RETURN OUR CALLS.
SHE HAS TALKED TO, I THINK, GETTING THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE NEXT MEETING FOR A GOOD THANK YOU WHILE YOU'RE THERE.
HOW DOES THE APPROVAL OF THE ROSTER SET, SET YOUR MANPOWER SITUATION? WELL, ASSUMING THAT ALL FIVE OF THE APPLICANTS GET THROUGH THE REMAINING PARTS OF THE SCREENING PROCESS, WHICH WOULD BE THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION, THE, UH, POLYGRAPH EXAM, THE PHYSICAL AND THE DRUG SCREEN.
IF ALL FIVE, GET THROUGH IT, THEN WE'D BE FOUR PEOPLE SHORTLY.
UH, OUR TOTAL AUTHORIZED STRENGTH.
USUALLY WE'LL GET, IF WE HAVE FIVE, WE'LL GET THREE OR FOUR THAT GETS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS, BUT WE'RE ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING, UH, 50 APPLICANTS THAT WE RECEIVED IN THE LAST GO ROUND.
AND WE JUST STARTED, UH, THE, UH, SCREENING OF THOSE APPLICATIONS NOW.
SO WE'RE GETTING REAL CLOSE AND I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
MOVING TO GERMANY ALL IN FAVOR.
