ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THE BUDGET? WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY, AYE.I LIKED MOVING WITH, WE ADOPTED BUDGET ORDERS FROM 19 97, 19 98.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION THAT MAY COME WITH A LOWER PLEASE? YES, YES, YES.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.
DO I HEAR A MOTION MAYOR? HEY MAN.
ACTUALLY ONE ITEM B NUMBER 11 APPROVAL SALE OF JOINT DEALS, PROPERTIES WITH CRAVEN COUNTY AND EXAMINING THOSE RESOLUTIONS WAITING FOR THE BAD BY THE COUNTY.
AND WE'RE INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA.
I FOUND THAT THE DATE OF THE SALE RESOLUTIONS.
SO THAT SHOULD BE FULL UNTIL IT IS.
THEY WERE ADOPTED BY THE COUNTY WITHOUT THE REMAINING ITEMS. ONLY CONSUMING.
SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION YOU MAY CALL THE ROAD.
DISCUSSION WITH THOSE TWO ITEMS. WE JUST PULL THEM.
THE NEXT THING, I GUESS WE HAVE THOSE APPOINTMENTS.
DO WE HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS TOMORROW? I WAS WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED WITH THOSE ISSUES THAT WERE THOSE.
I LIKE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF LOSS AND 1408.
AND THAT'S WHEN HAVE A FORM IN FRONT OF YOU REGARDING HER.
BUT I HAVE HEARD SHE'S IN THE WATER.
I LIKE TO MEET HER LAST SECOND.
THE THING HAD BEEN, THE PEOPLE WATCHED ON TV.
I'VE GOT AN APPOINTMENT TO MAKE ON THE CIVIL SERVICE BOARD.
IS THAT RIGHT? VICKY? AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYBODY IN MY WARD, ESPECIALLY IS INTERESTED IN SERVING ON IT.
HE WAS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.
YOU DID THE SAME THING, MR. MAYOR.
I'VE GOT NO, I GOT SOMEBODY IN MIND.
I CAN'T SLIP UP TO THE FACT THAT THESE ARE NOMINATION.
YOU'RE FIGHTING AN UPHILL BATTLE.
REMEMBER, MAY I SPEAK FOR MYSELF? WHAT DO YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY? WHEN YOU FILL OUT THE FORM,
I THINK THERE IS A PROCEDURE NOW FOR THE ZONING.
WHEN YOU CHANGE THE ZONING CHANGE,
[00:10:01]
WHEN THEY CHANGED THE REQUIREMENTS, THEY LEARN TO NOTIFY ALL THE PEOPLE WITHIN A HUNDRED YARDS OR A HUNDRED FEET OF PROPOSED OKAY.UH, JUST THAT THE RECOVERY OF A FEW ARTIFACTS FROM THE 300 BLOCK MIDDLE STREET IS GOING FAIRLY WELL.
AND I BROUGHT SOME OF THOSE THINGS FOR YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT TONIGHT.
IF YOU WISH THEY'RE ON THE TABLE OUT THERE, NOTHING EARTH SHATTERING, BUT SOME THINGS OF INTEREST COIN, TWO COINS, FEW BUTTONS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
AND THERE'S THE FIRST WE'VE GOT QUITE A FEW MORE, BUT IT'S JUST A VERY SLOW PROCESS TO GET THEM CLEANED UP.
AND THE CITY IS A BUILDING THAT IS GOING TO BUILD A DISPLAY CASE AND THEY WILL BE ON DISPLAY EITHER HERE IN THIS ROOM WITH THE FLAGS THAT WE HAVE AT THE BACK OR IN ANOTHER LOCATION, WHICH WE ARE BEGINNING TO DISCUSS.
I HAD BEEN APPROACHED BY SOME RESIDENTS OUT OF, IN GREENBRIAR ABOUT PROBLEMS THAT KEEP GETTING WORSE.
I DON'T GLEN BURNIE ROAD, AND THEY'RE ASKING US TO GET TOGETHER AND TRY TO URGE THE STATE TO HELP WITH MAYBE SOME TURNING LANES, ESPECIALLY TURNING, TRYING TO TURN RIGHT INTO THE GREENBRIER PARKWAY AND EVEN TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING, MAYBE EVEN A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN THAT AREA.
I KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG PROCESS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT DANNY GET IN CONTACT WITH THE DLT AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE PROBLEMS THAT WE DO HAVE AND COME BACK WITH A REPORT ON THEIR RESPONSE.
AT THAT POINT, WE'LL DO WHATEVER'S NECESSARY TO MOVE FORWARD ON IT, REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER THE RESPONSE IS, THAT WOULD REALLY HELP ME A LOT.
AND ANOTHER THING, IT'S JUST AN IDEA THAT CAME UP.
WE'VE HAD PEOPLE COME UP TONIGHT TALKING ABOUT DRAINAGE AND TALK ABOUT OTHER PROBLEMS. UH, THERE'S A LOT OF THEM OUT THERE LOVE THEM.
WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT A LOT OF DANNY DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT.
AND I WAS JUST THINKING THAT MAYBE WE COULD SEND OUT THIS STUFF.
I'LL DO SHORT QUESTIONNAIRE AND UTILITY BILLS.
YEAH, IT WASN'T VERY POINTED QUESTIONS.
DO YOU HAVE A DRAINAGE PROBLEM IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? IF SO, WHY? AND I'M SENDING BACK, OOH, HEY, WE, WE FIND OUT WHAT WE'VE GOT.
WE, WE ALREADY KNOW THAT WE DON'T ALREADY KNOW THAT.
I CAN ASSURE YOU WE DO MOST DEFINITELY HAVE A DRAINAGE EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY OF UBER.
I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS, ESPECIALLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT I REPRESENT, WATER STANDS FOR DAYS FROM A SHARP RANK.
I KNOW THAT WE'RE BELOW SEA LEVEL HERE THEN THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DRAINAGE.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONE THING THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE WHEN TALKING ABOUT A POOL VERSUS DRAINAGE, I THINK WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION THAT OTHERS WERE NOT PRIVILEGED TO.
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT UNDERSTAND BETTER IF WE EXPLAIN THAT WE, BY NO MEANS WOULD ALLOW A POOL TO TAKE PRECEDENT OVER THE NEEDS OF DRAINAGE.
MOST DEFINITELY OVER THE NEEDS OF HOUSING OVER THE PERSONAL NEEDS OF THE CITIZENS, OF THE CITY OF NEWBURGH.
HOWEVER, WE DO FEEL THAT RECREATION AND ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN IN THE CITY OF NEW BERTA ARE IMPORTANT.
BUT WE HAD DISCUSSED THAT WE WAS OUT OF CONSENSUS.
I THOUGHT ONE OF YOU GUYS WOULD SAY, SINCE Y'ALL LIKE TALK THAT WE DIDN'T SAY THAT WE HAD SET A PRIORITY AND THAT DRAIN IS JUST ONE OF OUR PRIORITIES AND HOUSING IS ANOTHER ONE OF OUR PRIORITIES.
AND THAT A POOL IS A SPECIAL INTEREST OF OURS THAT WE HOPE THAT WE CAN AFFORD TO DO ALL OF THEM.
I WOULD STILL LIKE TO, HEY, IF THEY'D ONLY GOES OUT IN ONE AWARD, I'D STILL LIKE TO KNOW WHERE I STAY.
AND I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE SHOULD KNOW
[00:15:01]
I MEAN, I GOT PEOPLE CALLING ME EVERY DAY.
I'M TRYING TO MAKE, GET SOME KIND OF A SYSTEMATIC THING TOGETHER SO WE CAN SET TO SEE WHAT I'VE GOT.
IF I TELL YOU WHAT, IF WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT WRITE IN AND TELL US, HEY, I GOT A PROBLEM HERE AND HERE AND HERE, IT WILL HELP A LOT TOWARDS THE DRAINAGE STUDY TOO, BECAUSE THEN HE STARTS ZEROING IN ON SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS. AND I KNOW THERE'S PROBLEMS OVER THERE AND BARBARA'S ARE WHAT I GREW UP OVER THERE.
THEY HAD THE BEST WOMAN HOME THERE DOWN ON THE CORNER OF DUN AND NORTH CRAVEN STREET.
JUST YOU, YOU, YOU, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU MENTIONED THE SURVEY, UM, CIVIL RIGHTS, UH, BUT IF, IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO REACH OUT AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS, I WASN'T LIMITED TO DRAINAGE.
I SAID, WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THAT'S FINE.
BUT WHEN HE'S TALKING ABOUT DRAINAGE, I MEAN, AND THAT'S IT WHEN I SAID POINTED QUESTIONS AND IT MAY BE JUST THAT, THAT MAY BE THE PERFECT QUESTION.
WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS DO YOU HAVE THAT YOU NEED HELP ON? BUT I KNOW WE GOT PROBLEMS WITH DRAINAGE.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING, MR.
SO THE NEXT THING IS WITH DRUGS,
AND LIKE TO INVITE EVERYBODY THERE.
YOU HAVE SOME THINGS FOR ME TO SAY
AND WE TALK ABOUT DRAINAGE, DRAINAGE STUDY AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
UH, GOT SOME VERY POSITIVE RESPONSE BACK FROM THE STATE YESTERDAY.
AND HE TOLD THE MANAGER YET MARION SMITH, I THINK ALL OF, YOU KNOW, AS A NEW POSITION WITH THE STATE.
AND, UH, SHE'S ADVISED THAT THE STATE'S PORTION OF THE MONEY FOR THE VENICE, THAT IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THIRD QUARTER NEXT YEAR.
SO I THINK THAT'S LOOKING VERY GOOD.
THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE FEDERAL SIDE.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY CONNECTIONS WITH YOUR CONGRESSMAN OR WHATEVER NEW CONVERSATION, AND MAYBE WE CAN GET THAT DONE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME FEDERAL MONEY BEFORE THIS.
YOU TALKED TO THE MAYOR ABOUT IT RIGHT AWAY, RIGHT ALONG SEVEN.
