WE'LL CALL THE BACON DAUGHTER, ROBIN DRAG ALONG AND THE FIRST COLUMN IT SPINAL CONSTABLE CHURCH.
MR. SAMPSON, DO YOU MIND COMMISSIONERS THAT I WOULD FOLLOW THEM OUT.
GOD IS BEYOND ME TO COME BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.
I'M REALIZING FATHER, YOU ARE IN PETROLEUM, EVERYTHING, BUT IT'S PROBABLY A SPECIAL BLESSING FOR THE ALL THE NIGHT FOLLOWING THAT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO DO BUSINESS IN YOUR NAME.
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT CITY FATHER.
WE'RE THANKFUL TO VOLUNTEER AND WE HAVE, UM, YEAH, THAT, THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS THEM IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY, BUT WASN'T PART OF HIPAA THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER AND WENT BY THE CRISES.
WE PRAY YOU WOULD CONDUCT DOWN THE MAN ROAD, PLEASE.
THE FIRST THING WE HAVE AT NIGHT IS THE SPECIAL OLYMPIC SIZED TOWN PROGRAM PRESENTATION.
SO, UH, MR. BILLY WILLS, GOOD EVENING.
EVERYBODY WANT TO PLAY, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO COME TONIGHT.
I FIRST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE HOST FAMILIES THAT ARE WITH US THIS EVENING.
UM, WE HAVE THE SIGN OF THE FAMILY.
IF YOU ALL STAY IN THE SCAM RACK IS FAMILY BILL CAN'T.
IF THE NEELY'S THE HARRISON FAMILY.
YEAH, I THINK ALL THE WAY THE BACK IS THE BAR FAN.
I JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HIM TO SAVE HIM BECAUSE IT WASN'T FOR THEM AND ALL THEIR HARD WORK.
WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF WHAT WE DID WITH THIS WONDERFUL GROUP OF SWITCH ON.
WE HAD 37 ATHLETES HERE AND A TOTAL 50 DELEGATES AND TWO DELEGATION ASSISTANTS THAT WE FED HOUSED AND ENTERTAINED FOR A WHOLE WEEK OF ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING A PIG PICKING A DAY ON THE WATER, A, UH, AN ICE CREAM SOCIAL TIP TRIP WITH THE TRIAL PALACE, UM, A BEACH TRIP.
AND WE ATE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE FROM PIG, PICK INTO A CHICKEN, PICK INTO ICE CREAM TO YOU NAME IT, THE HOT DOGS AND HAMBURGERS.
SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF GROUPS THAT HELPED US OUT IN THE COMMUNITY REALLY CAME THROUGH AND WE APPRECIATED THAT A LOT.
I'VE GOT SCOTT FREEMAN WITH ME TONIGHT AND ALSO NANCY BOX WHARF, ELLEN HARRISON, AND ED HARRIS FROM ALL MEMBERS OF OUR NAKED.
BUT, UM, SCOTT'S GOT A NICE WHOLE BILL HERE THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US FROM THE SWITZERLAND SPECIAL OLYMPIC TEAM.
AND IT SAYS ON IT, UM, 1999 SPECIAL OLYMPIC SWITCH ROOM.
AND WE WANT TO PRESENT THAT TO THE CITY OF NEWBURGH IN HOPES THAT YOU'LL FIND A PLACE AT CITY HALL THAT, UM, WE'LL BE ABLE TO PUT THAT WHERE EVERYBODY CAN SEE IT.
WE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE PLACE TO PUT IT.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHO WOULDN'T LIKE IT
HOWEVER, I NEVER DOUBTED WHATSOEVER AS I READ ABOUT IT IN THE USA TODAY AND EVERYTHING ELSE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
AND IT WAS AT A WHOLE LOT BETTER HANDS AND ME BEING GONE THAN IT WOULD'VE BEEN, IF I WAS HERE AND YOU WON'T LIVE A TREMENDOUS JOB, MY FAMILY, THE KIDS, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE OUTSIDE
[00:05:07]
I AM HERE AS THE ELECTED OFFICIALS,SO MAYBE WE TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHO'S GOING TO DO ALL THIS WORK.
THE
WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR MAKING SOME OF THOSE.
APPRECIATE THE TIME THIS EVENING.
Y'ALL WENT DOWN IN OUR HISTORY, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I CHECKED ON THAT EVERY DAY ON TV AND I WAS ALL OUT IN NEVADA AND, AND IS MY I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, BUT MY POOR DECEASED MOTHER, SHE DIED IN 1990 AND Y'ALL HAVE HEARD ME SAY THIS MANY TIMES SINCE I'VE BEEN MAYOR, SHE USED TO PUT HER HAND UP AND SHE SAID, NOW I DON'T MEAN NOTHING BY IT.
AND AS SOON AS SHE SAYING, SHE REALLY DID MEAN SOMETHING, WELL, I DON'T MEAN ANYTHING BY IT, BUT I, I, ONCE AGAIN WENT BY MOTOR VEHICLE ALL THE WAY, ALMOST ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ALL THE WAY THAT NEVADA AND BACK.
AND IT GIVES YOU A FRESH LOOK AT NEWBURN.
WHEN YOU GET BACK HERE, YOU'VE BEEN AWAY A LITTLE BIT AND YOU'VE SEEN MOST EVERYWHERE ELSE AND YOU BREATHE THE AIR AND YOU KIND OF TASTED EARTH.
AND, UH, AS MY MAMA SAID, I DON'T MEAN NOTHING BY IT, BUT THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO BE.
AND, UH, THE PEOPLE GO ALONG WITH THAT TOO.
I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU DOING WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
AND I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE IN GREAT HANDS.
AND I WASN'T CONCERNED TO BE ABLE TO SAY, THANK YOU.
SO NEXT THING WE HAVE IS A PRESENTATION TO THE CITY OR THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR SAFETY AWARDS.
AS YOU ALL KNOW, EACH YEAR, THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR RECOGNIZES EMPLOYERS, DEPARTMENTS, OR DIVISIONS WITH 10 OR MORE EMPLOYEES WHOSE WORKPLACE SAFETY RECORD HAS ALL THE NO LOSS DAYS OR MAINTAIN A SAFETY RECORD BELOW THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR HAS MINIMUM STANDARDS.
WE CAN ALSO BE VERY PROUD THAT THE CITY OF NEW BERN IS ONE OF LESS THAN 10% OF A HUNDRED, 8,000 BUSINESSES OF OUR DISHONOR.
AND AGAIN, MR. MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE YOUR ASSISTANCE AGAIN, SIR.
I FEEL I'M ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO JUST DIRECTED THE TITANIC OR SOMETHING.
SO HE LIKED TO GO IN
[00:10:05]
AND THE PUBLIC WORKS
I WANT TO REMIND YOU ALL OF THE CITY OF NEW BERN HAS WORKED OVER 1.8, 5 MILLION, A LOT MORE DAY-TO-DAY AND FREE OUR DEPARTMENTS, ELECTRIC ENGINEERING AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
ONE MAN WORKING FOR 1.8 MILLION HOURS, WHICH IS THE SAME THING IN MAN HOURS, WITHOUT LOSING A DAY HE'S TIME SAFETY DOESN'T COME AND ASK PUN BY ACCIDENT, BUT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE INDUSTRY LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT IF THE CITY EMPLOYEES HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THAT THEY WEREN'T, IT, YOU CAN'T, THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.
SO I REALLY APPRECIATE, AND ALL OF US DO A GREAT JOB ALL THE TIME.
AND WE'LL BE LOOKING FOR A LONGER SPEECH NEXT YEAR FOR BOBBY AND HIS DEPARTMENT.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS A REQUEST AND PETITION OF CITIZENS.
IF WE'VE GOT ANYBODY HERE TONIGHT, IF YOU WANTED TO COME FORTH AND HAVE THEIR OPPORTUNITY AT US, I MAY SPEAK THEIR MIND.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY, ANYBODY RAISED THEIR HAND AND WANTED TO DO THAT.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS THE PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING THE CLOSE OUT OF THE 1995 CDBG PROGRAM.
I CAN SAY, GET, AS YOU CAN, THAT THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM STRESSES PUBLIC GOOD STATIONS.
IN THE BEGINNING, WE HAVE GENERALLY TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS BEFORE WE APPLY.
AND THEN AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM, THEY ALSO REQUIRE THAT WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THE 1995 PROGRAM.
AND IT WAS IN THE WEST END AVENUE IS COMMUNITY.
IT HAD TWO SEPARATE TARGET AREAS, UM, CENTERED AROUND THE 600 BLOCK OF SECOND THIRD AVENUE AND THE 700 BLOCK OF MILLER AND FIRST AVENUE.
UM, IN TOTAL, THE PROJECT TREATED 20 X, 29 UNITS AND INSTALLED APPROXIMATELY 4,300 LINEAR FEET OF, UM, VALIC, HER AND DISCRETE IMPROVEMENTS AT THIS TIME.
I'LL SEE IF THERE ARE ANY COMMENTS, ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE CDBG PROGRAM? IS THIS THE PUBLIC HEARING? I MOVE, WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
UH, I DO HAVE SOME COMMENT SINCE IT'S CLOSE, OPEN TO THE BOARD, I JUST WANT TO MAKE AN INQUIRY.
UM, HAS ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE REGARDING THE STREET MIDDLE DRESSED, AND WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO RESTORE.
AND IN SOME CASES GO BEYOND WHAT THEY HAD PRIOR TO THE PROJECT.
I THINK I SAW WHERE SOME FOLKS WERE COMPLAINING
[00:15:01]
ABOUT THE KIND OF GRAPH THAT HAS PUT DOWN THIS TOP SOIL.AND I SAW WHERE YOU TOOK THE SANDY TOP SOIL AND PUT DOWN SOME REALLY GOOD GRADE OF TOP SOLE.
WHAT WOULD, THAT WAS PROBABLY A MUCH RICHER THAN WHAT IT WAS.
THERE IS THIS THING AND HOPEFULLY WILL ELIMINATE SOME OF THE EROSION AND NAVY IF, DEPENDING ON HOW THEIR PARKING PREFERENCES GET OR MAYBE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME GRASS, FOR A, SO THE PEOPLE WHO WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BROKEN DRIVEWAYS HAVE, HAVE THEY BEEN SATISFIED ALL THE DRIVEWAYS HAVE THEM REPAIR THEIR STATE AND THEY WERE PRIOR TO THE PROJECT? WELL, LET ME SAY IT AS ALL OF THAT DISTRICT, I THINK DID A GREAT JOB.
AND, UM, I THINK THE MONEY WAS WELL SPENT AND IT REALLY LOOKS BETTER.
AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
HOWEVER, UM, UH, NOW THAT WE'VE CLOSED OUT THIS PROGRAM, WE ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE OF THRESHOLD FOR IN YEAR 2000 FUNDING.
AND WE HAVE BEEN ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL RECEIVE A GRANT AND THAT WILL BE GOING IN GARDENS FROM THE AREA.
WHAT IS THE FOLLOWUP PROCEDURE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE SPEND THE KIND OF MONEY THAT WE SPEND IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I CONCUR THAT ON THE RHINO.
UM, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT IS A FOLLOWUP PROCEDURE AS TO, UH, MAKING SURE OR, OR CA THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS BEING MAINTAINED IN A CERTAIN WAY? WELL, GENERALLY I WOULD ONE, WE STILL MAINTAIN AN INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY THROUGH, UM, UH, A GRANT AGREEMENT, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A LOAN AGREEMENT.
UM, SO WE, WE HAVE SOME CONTROL ON THE PROPERTY, ESPECIALLY ON RESALES.
UM, BUT GENERALLY AFTER WE'RE FINISHED WITH OUR PROJECT SIZE, THAT FINANCIAL INTERESTS, UM, THEY WILL BE TREATED LIKE ANY OTHER CITIZEN AND THEY'RE THERE IN HOUSE.
WE FALL INTO OUR OWN HOUSING AND OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT TO ENSURE THAT IT STAYS UP TO PAR YOU BASICALLY TALKING ABOUT, YEAH, THE NEIGHBORHOODS, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE THE KIND OF PROBLEMS WE HAD YEARS AGO WITH SOME OF THE REHABS THAT WE USED TO HAVE.
I, I WOULD SAY DEFINITELY THE QUALITY OF THE WORK HAS, HAS INCREASED AND PART OF STAFF IN THE, IN LARGE PART TO THE OTHER PROFESSIONALS THAT WE BROUGHT IN WORKED WITH IN THE PAST, YOU KNOW, THAT WE'RE, WE'RE SEEING A MUCH BETTER AND THEY'RE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS STATEWIDE.
THEY'RE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS, THERE'S A LIBRARY OR DOCUMENTATION.
UM, AND OUR OFFICE WE'RE WORKING TO DOCUMENTS.
WE REALIZED SOME OF THE OWNERS DON'T HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT REALLY IS TO BE A HOMEOWNER AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, UM, MAKING REFERRALS WHEN POSSIBLE TO, UM, CREDIT COUNSELING AGENCIES AND JUST POINTING OUT THAT WHEN WE PUT PRODUCTS IN LIKE HEATING SYSTEMS, THAT THEY REQUIRE A CONSTANT MAINTENANCE OR ELSE, THEY WILL RUN INTO A PROBLEM AS WE WRITE OUR NEXT GRANT.
AND WE WROTE ONE THAT WE DIDN'T RECEIVE, WE NEED THAT TO BE BROUGHT OUT THAT WE ARE NOT BY ANY MEANS, BUT I FORGOTTEN DEFINITELY FIELD HELP, PLEASANT HILL.
AND THESE ARE THINGS I LIKE TO KEEP BEFORE YOU, YOU KNOW, I LIKE TO KEEP SAYING IT TO YOU SO THAT NOTHING SLIPS YOUR MIND AND LIKE, DEFINITELY.
SO WE, WE DO HAVE AN APPLICATION PENDING FOR THOSE THAT, THAT GREATER COMMUNITY.
AND LIKE I SAID, IT IS CENTERED AROUND GARDEN STREET.
W W W ONE FINAL COMMENT, UM, INQUIRY THE PEOPLE IN WEST END CONGEST FORGET ABOUT GRANTS FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS PROBABLY.
IS THAT CORRECT? WELL, ONE, HOPEFULLY MOST OF THEM WON'T NEED US TO COME BACK, BUT THERE IS A SECTION AT THE END OF SACK THAT AROUND CEDAR AND THEN A THIRD AVENUE AND 700 BLOCK THAT WE TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO OBTAIN ANOTHER BRAND THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO FINISH OFF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THEN AT OUR LAST APPLICATION CYCLE, WE COMPARE THAT TO THE GUARD STREET PROJECT AND FELT THAT THE GARCIA PROJECT WAS STRONGER, BEST APPLICATION POSSIBLE.
SO YES, IF THERE ARE RESIDENTS OUT THERE WHO LIVE THERE, UM, WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS.
UM, ONE BEING THE WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM THAT'S OFFERED BY TWIN RIVERS AND AT LEAST THAT WILL HELP WITH SOME OF THEIR NEEDS.
EXPLAIN WHAT I HAVE AS A CONSENT AGENDA.
UH, I LIKE TO TAKE ITEM NINE OFF, PLEASE.
I MOVED THE REMAINING ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA TO BE ADOPTED.
[00:20:01]
SO I SECOND BE PART OF THE DISCUSSION OF THAT.AND WHICH ONE WAS THAT? CALL THE ROLL PLEASE, MAN.
UH, OF COURSE IT'S IN ALL OF THEM, RIGHT FOR YOU, BUT, UH, INFORMATION THAT'S THAT'S GIVEN HERE IN THE AGENDA SAYS IS THE SPECIFICATIONS INADVERTENTLY PLACED BOUND IN AREAS WHERE RUBBER COVERING SHOULD GO AND RUB IT.
AND ERICA BOUNDLESS SHOULD GO IS, AND THE COST IS $26,000 TO GO FROM ONE ROOM TO THE OTHER, DOING THAT ALL WEEK, ADDING THE MORE, PUTTING MORE OF THE EXPENSIVE ITEMS IN THOSE AREAS, UH, EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON.
WHAT HAPPENED IS THE LESS EXPENSIVE VINYL WAS, WAS PUT IN, IN LODGE AREA, IN LARGER AREAS.
AND NOW YOU'RE GOING BACK WITH THE OTHER BUILDING, MAY BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT TO HIM.
HE MAY BE TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT BETTER KNOCKING, BUT, UH, YEAH, PLEASE.
BUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT IT WAS JUST A MIX UP IN THE WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO PLAY IT BETTER, COME FORWARD AND DO 26,000 MILES WORTH OF TALKING.
WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TONIGHT.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO DISCUSS THIS WITH A, IN ESSENCE, WE HAD A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS.
THE DRAWINGS INSTRUCTED ONE MATERIAL TO GO IN ONE SET OF SPACES AND ANOTHER, AND THE OTHER AS BEST PATIENTS WEREN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE THAT THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS SAY IN THAT SITUATION, SPECIFICATIONS TAKE PRECEDENCE.
AND UNFORTUNATELY IN THE OPPOSITE WAY, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT A CREDIT IN THIS INSTANCE, A VERY LARGE AREAS OF THE BUILDING WHERE IT TENDED TO HAVE RUBBER AND VINYL WAS SPECIFIED.
IT IS A MUCH MORE DURABLE MATERIAL.
IT'LL SERVE MUCH LONGER, A LOT BETTER LIFE, FAR, A LOT LESS MAINTENANCE THAN VINYL.
SO WE FEEL LIKE A VERY JUSTIFIABLE CHANGE.
IS IT ALREADY, IS THAT ALREADY DOWN? NONE OF IT'S BEEN PURCHASED YET.
WE CONTACTED THE NOT ONLY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, BUT HIS SUPPLIER.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO DO IS TO MAKE SURE WE WEREN'T BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF CHANGE AND THEY ARE GIVING US THE EXACT SAME COST.
THEY QUOTED TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR ORIGINALLY.
SO WE WERE GETTING A VERY FAIR PRICE.
UH, THE COST DIFFERENCES, UH, THE FINAL IS ABOUT A DOLLAR AND 25 CENTS A SQUARE FOOT.
AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT IF THIS HAD BEEN QUOTED, RIGHT, IT'S ALREADY BEEN A $6,000, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CONTRACT.
AND ONE THING WE DID DO THE ACTUAL AREAS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO HAVE RUBBER.
WE WENT BACK AND EXAMINED TO SEE IF WE COULD LIVE, TOLERATE THE PLASTIC.
SO WE HAVE PARED DOWN AS MUCH AS WE FEEL IS REASONABLE.
LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS $26,000 IS IN ADDITION TO THAT, THAT'S ALREADY APPROPRIATED.
YOU WANT IT? SO YOU ASKED HIM 26 POUNDS NO MORE.
IS THIS INDISPENSABLE? LIKE, IS THIS LIKE A LUXURY OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO OPERATE THE FIRE STATION? HOW ARE WE DOING IT? THIS FOUR TO TWO BOOKS FOR AESTHETIC REASONS? ARE WE DOING FOR DURABILITY? WHY, WHY ARE WE DOING IT PRIMARILY FOR DURABILITY? WE SPECIFY THE RUBBER THAT ORIGINALLY, BECAUSE ONE IS MUCH MORE SLIP RESISTANT AND TWO IT'S MUCH, MUCH MORE DURABLE, LAST MANY, MANY MORE YEARS.
SO CERTAINLY WE COULD PUT THE CHEAPER MATERIAL DOWN NOW, BUT YOU'LL REPLACE IT PROBABLY FOUR TIMES OVER THE LIFE OF WHAT YOU WOULD REPLACE THE RUBBER.
UM, WHEN, WHEN WE SAT DOWN AND DESIGNED THIS FIRE STATION, AFTER FIRING TO THE FIRE STATION, THE AREAS THAT THEY WOULD BE
AND WE DID CLEAN THESE
AND THIS RUBBER FLOORING IS A FLOORING.
WHEN WE PUT IT DOWN THERE FOR 25 YEARS THERE IT'LL LEAD TO LONDON ABOUT, UH, THIS WAS THE AREA THAT WE ORIGINALLY WANTED, THIS TYPE OF FLOORING AND WHAT HAPPENED.
THERE WAS A MISTAKE IN WRITING SPECIFICATIONS, AND INSTEAD OF WHAT IT WAS BASICALLY, UH, UH, UH, GANG MEMBERS AND MY STAFF SAT DOWN AND WENT BACK THROUGH, CUT SOME
[00:25:01]
OF THE AREAS WHERE WE ORIGINALLY HAD RUBBER AND FOOT, THE HOLES BACK, THIS IS HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS THAT PUT INTO PLACE.WE DECIDED TO GO BACK AND ADD THE CONTRACT.
HAVE YOU SEEN THESE TWO MATERIALS, THE VINYL VERSUS THE RUBBLE? HAVE I SEEN IT PERSONALLY? NO.
WE'RE LOOKING AT SOMEONE LIKE THE RECENTLY INSTALLED THERE USED QUITE A BIT AGAIN, FAR OUT OR, OR APPREHENDED ON THEIR, UH, THEIR MEETING ROOM FLOORS.
AND THERE HAD, UH, WHAT DO YOU, WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN EXISTENCE? PROSTITUTION SUBMIT AND THE CARPET, THE CARPET WAS JUST NOT PRACTICAL.
WELL, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, I MEAN, IF YOU PUT A COVERING DOWN AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE MR. GOODWRENCH, YOU PAY ME NOW, YOU PAY ME LATER.
I MEAN, WE COULD GO WITH THE VINYL.
THERE'S NO REASON THAT WE COULDN'T, BUT THE ISSUE IS, IS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE LONGEVITY AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE SPENDING THE DOLLARS WE'RE DOING TO BUILD IT AND HAD, YOU KNOW, HAD EVERYTHING BEEN THE WAY THEY WERE.
AND WHEN YOU GOT TO DOCUMENT THIS, THIS THICK, IT'S HARD TO CATCH EVERYTHING IT WOULD ALREADY BEEN IN TO BE AT.
ANYWAY, MY CONCERN IS, IF WE'RE GOING TO PAY MORE FOR THE VINYL, WE SHOULD GET CREDIT.
IF WE'RE GOING TO PAY MORE FOR THE RUBBER, HOW COME WE DON'T STILL HAVE A CREDIT FOR THE FINAL WOULD NOT USE IT ALL THAT'S CONFIGURED IN IT'S CONFIGURED IN THAT'S ALREADY AND AGAIN, WE WENT BACK AND YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF THE RUBBER APP THAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD LEFT THE FILE THERE BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAD TO WAKE HIM UP BEFORE THAT BOARD.
I GOING TO HAVE JUST $1,271 OVERHEAD ADMINISTRATIVE ADMINISTRATION AND PRODUCT WHO DOES THAT GO TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR? THE ORIGINAL, THE BASE QUOTE IS WHERE THE SUBCONTRACTOR AND THAT'S, THAT'S A VERY, UH, WHAT I CONSIDER A VERY CONSERVATIVE OVERHEAD.
THE OVERHEAD IS THAT A LABOR COST THAT'S THAT'S THE COST BECAUSE IT'S NOT HIS OWN FORCES DOING IT.
ANYTIME YOU HAVE A GENERAL CONTRACTOR, THEY WORK OUT, HE ADDS AN OVERHEAD PROFIT FIGURE TO THAT'S.
ONE THING THAT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME, JUST THE END.
IT WAS A CONCERN OF MINE WAS THAT THE $26,000 IT WAS IN THE PROJECT, RIGHT? IT'S THE FUNDS THAT YOU HAVE WITHIN YOU JUST CHANGING THE LINE ITEMS, INCREASING THE COST OF THE LINE.
THERE ARE FUNDS WITHIN THERE, THERE ARE FUNDS WITHIN THE PROJECT.
GENERALLY IN ANY PRODUCT, WE RECOMMEND A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CONTINGENCY TO COVER ANY PROCEED.
SO THE FUNDS ARE WITHIN THE PROJECT ALREADY BEFORE THE ONE REASON I'M ABLE TO STAND HERE AND RECOMMEND THIS IS THAT WE HAVE HAD VERY, VERY MINIMAL CLAIM OVER ANY OTHER, IN FACT, EVEN SOME OF THE CHANGE ORDERS THAT WE'VE BEEN CONSIDERING.
AND THIS THING'S ORDER IS KNOWING THAT 2% IS LESS THAN, MUCH, LESS THAN 2% OF THE POSSIBLE.
WE ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO CHANGE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE JOHN BRINKLEY WHEN HE CIVIL SERVICE BOARD, HE'S
[00:30:01]
BEEN ON THAT BEFORE AND EVERYBODY THOUGHT HE DID A GREAT JOB.AND SO MIKE PUT HIM BACK ON ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT SLATE.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING COME IN THIS WAY.
UM, I HAD A CONCERN AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU KNOW HOW WE GO ABOUT DOING THIS.
I'D LIKE TO SEE US, UM, UH, GET A PROCLAMATION TO THE FAMILIES OF THE TWO LITTLE BOYS WHO DROWNED AND THEY FIGHT AND DECLARE LIKE FRIDAY, NO FRIDAY.
ONE OF THE YOUNG BOYS WILL BE FUNERALIZED.
THE LAST ONE THAT WAS FOUND AND, AND DECLARE IT A DAY OF MOURNING FOR THOSE TWO CHILDREN, JUST TO SHOW OUR SYMPATHY FOR THE FAMILIES WHO LIVE.
I ASKED YOU TO BRING UP STUFF.
WHAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT, WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH.
MR. WARD COULD PROBABLY TELL YOU TO GIVE YOU A REPORT AND I'M INCLINED TO DO IT AND EXACTLY.
ANY OTHER, ANYBODY ELSE YOU GOT ANY MISCELLANEOUS? UH, YES, SIR.
I FORGOT JOHNNY WAS STANDING BACK THERE, JOHNNY WHERE DO WE, WHERE DO WE STAND AS TO WHAT WE CAN DO THAT IT HAS TO BE BROUGHT UP TO A STANDARD OR OUR ASSIGNED STANDARD OR A, I WOULD SAY THAT
YEAH, IT LOOKS IT'S OLD AND I'M NOT SURE THAT THEY COULD BRING IT UP TO STANDARDS EMPTY, BUT THE PROPERTY HAS CHANGED HANDS.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A MOTEL SALE, OPEN A YOGA.
AND SINCE IT HAS CHANGED HANDS AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER CAT FIGHT, LIKE WE HAD ONE, LIKE WE'RE HAVING ON FIRST STREET, BUT, UH, WE NEED THAT SIGN DOWN OR WE NEED, UH, WE NEED TO REPAIR.
IT'S A EYESORE FOR THE PEOPLE PASSING BY ON CLARINET, WHICH IS MOST OF OUR THROUGH TRAFFIC.
YOU'RE WORKING ON A DAMN GOOD ENOUGH.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO APOLOGIZE FOR MY ABSENCE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS DUE TO A FOOT INJURY.
AND IT'S, UH, I'VE GOT SOME, I GOT SO MUCH PAIN MEDICATION IN NOW.
I'M NOT SURE I DON'T FEEL MUCH FROM THE ANKLE DOWN, SO I'M IN GREAT SHAPE, BUT, BUT, UH, OH, WELL, IT'S, IT'S ILLEGAL.
IT'S LEGAL, BUT, UH, I DON'T LIKE TO MISS MEETINGS AND, UH, IT BOTHERS ME THAT I HADN'T MISSED THOSE, BUT I THINK THE PROBLEM HAS PRETTY MUCH CLEARED ITSELF UP THE, UH, NOW IF I JUST DON'T FALL ANYMORE, UH, WHAT HAPPENED WAS I JUST STEPPED IN A HOLE AND IT CAUSED A SPRAINED ANKLE.
AND THAT BROUGHT ON A CASE OF THE GAL.
AND IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD GALLUP, WHICH I'VE HAD FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT PAIN IS TO THE MAX.
IF IT'S OFF, YOU NEED TO KEEP TAKING THAT PAIN MEDICATION BECAUSE YOU LOOK GOOD
I'M AFRAID TO CALL ON HIM, BUT MR. REINER, MS. LEE, AND THAT WAS, UH, WE, WE WOULD, WE WOULD HAVE A COMMUNITY MEETING.
WE GOT IN THE ROCK WHERE WE OWN THE FIRST TUESDAY IN AUGUST AT THE MASTER GARDENER.
SO YOU GUYS CAN COME AND IF YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRIORITIES, WHAT IS THAT? UH, NO, THAT'S NOT THE FIRST TUESDAY, AUGUST THE 31ST, THE 30TH OF FLOPPER.
[00:35:01]
REAL QUICK.IF Y'ALL WOULD, UH, GOSH, THERE, THEIR STUDENTS, UH, COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT WILL BE DOWN WORKING WITH US FOR ABOUT A MONTH.
AND, UH, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE OVER IN PLANNING AND HOPEFULLY THEY WON'T TOTALLY RUIN THEM, BUT FOUND THE GERMAN COMMENT YESTERDAY ON IF THEY'D LIKE TO COME UP AND INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, COME OUT, MAN.
DO SHE SELL, SELL DOS, I GUESS THAT'S RIGHT.
AND THEY SAID WE ARE FROM GERMANY.
YES I'M
IN FACT, I BROUGHT SOME GERMAN RELATIVES AND MYSELF SOMEWHERE BACK IN THERE, SO, AND HOW LONG WILL YOU BE, UH, INVOLVED WITH THE CITY AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS? I THINK HE HAS GOOD.
NOW DO WE NEED TO, WE'RE GONNA LET THEM MAKE THE MOST WITH GOING TO XAVIER SESSION SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
UH, DO WE HAVE TO SPECIFY THAT IT'S FOR
