THEY FULFILL THIS EVENING FOR THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME.
FIRST THING WE HAVE TO MIKE, DO, WE CAN HEAR A MOTION BY MR. RAY.
SOME MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND MEMBERS IN THE AUDIENCE AT THIS TIME.
IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO MAKE A MOTION TO NOMINATE SCOTT DAVIS OR POOL SCOTT DAVIS AS CITY ATTORNEY, BUT THE CITY OF NEW BERN TO SERVE OUT THE REMAINING TERM FOR AL WARD.
SCOTT DAVIS IS A MEMBER OF THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE BAR.
HE'S ALSO A MEMBER OF THE CRAVEN COUNTY BAR.
HE'S ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES AND I'M HONORED TO HAVE THE PLEASURE OF DOING THIS.
AND WE HEAR A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, IF NOT, UH, MR. WARD ISN'T HERE.
SO I'M GOING TO FLY ON MY CALL.
BRING THE STAFF DOWN TO THE SWEARING IN PODIUM THERE
[00:05:28]
AND THEN THE PART IS NOT FUN AND THAT'S WHEN WE CALL THEM.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS TO PRESENT THE SAFETY AWARDS, NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, JUST RUTH COME FORTH.
I LIKE TO POINT OUT JUST FOR YOUR OBSERVED WHAT'S MR. RUTH, THAT'S THAT 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION SATURDAY.
I SAW YOU ALL BACK AND YOU WERE LOOKING LEFT AND LOOKING RIGHT.
AND I TOLD MY WIFE AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE WITH ME, I SAID, YOU SEE THAT BOTTLE RIGHT THERE? I SAID, YEAH.
I SAID, HE'S IN CHARGE OF SAFETY AND SAFETY.
I SAID, YOU THINK RIGHT NOW HE'S ENJOYED THE CONCERT AT THAT, BUT WATCH HIM SCOPING THE PLACE OUT.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD DO IT EVEN WHEN YOU WERE THERE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
SO IT'S NO, IT'S NO MIRACLE REALLY THAT WE'VE GOTTEN AWARDS AND SIG EXCELLENT JOB.
SO WITH THAT SAID, TELL US ABOUT FIRST OF ALL, JUST, UH, EACH YEAR,
THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR IS NORMALLY VERY PROUD OF ABOUT 216,000 BUSINESSES ACROSS THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA AND LESS THAN 10% AWARD FOR SAFETY AWARENESS.
AND AGAIN, IN KEEPING WITH THAT, A LOT OF DEPARTMENTS RECOGNIZE WOMEN'S MARRIAGE.
SECONDLY, THE, UH, ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT FOR BUSINESS HERE.
THE WAY TO READ THIS PLAN FOR ONE SECOND HERE AND WALK THEM THROUGH THE VISION.
I TOLD HIM TO DAYCARE FOR THEM
UH, UH,
SECOND YEAR UH, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
PUBLIC WORKS THE FARM OVERALL THE FIFTH AND SECOND OF YEAR
[00:10:04]
LASTLY, THESE ARE THE MOST, YOU KNOW, WE WEREN'T, WE WERE MARKED BY TRAGEDY LAST YEAR AND OUR EMPLOYERSTHE NEXT THING WE HAVE IS THE MONTHLY REQUEST AND PETITION OF CITIZENS.
IS THERE ANY HERE THAT ANYBODY HERE TONIGHT WAS HERE TO SPEAK ON THAT TOPIC? Y'ALL RAISE YOUR HAND PLEASE.
NOBODY HERE, BUT THE NEXT THING YOU HAVE IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.
UM, THE REMAINING ITEMS ON THE CONSENT, JULY EIGHT THROUGH 15 DISCUSSION, PLEASE PLAN.
SO IT WAS ALL NATURAL BUFFERS.
I MENTIONED OF THE AREA THAT DID NOT HAVE ABOVE AS I WOULD BE PLANNING.
AND THAT SHOULD BE A MATTER OF RECORD FOR PLANNING FOLKS WHEN THEY GET THE PLAQUES THAT WAS AN AREA THAT DID NOT HAVE A NATURAL BUFFER.
WE APPROVED THAT ADMITTED IF THAT CORRECTION IS THAT CORRECT? SECOND.
HOW ABOUT NUMBER SEVEN SENSE THAT YOU'LL PASS THAT YOU'LL PASS THAT DISAGREEMENTS IDENTICAL WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE IN THE PACKAGE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PARAGRAPH SEVEN, WHICH WE ADDED, UH, A LANDSCAPING ISSUE THAT WE WANTED TO COVER, JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S ON THE SAME PAGE.
OTHERWISE IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE DOCUMENT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKAGE.
A, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, NOT, WELL, WAIT A MINUTE.
WE DO HAVE TO CALL IT A ROLE ON THAT.
SO THAT SHOULD APPEAR ON ME, BUT I DON'T HAVE IT FOR THAT'S RIGHT? NO, SIR.
I HAVE SOMETHING, UH, IN CONNECTION WITH ITEM 14 ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, WHICH WAS JUST APPROVED.
WE ALSO WANT TO HAVE AN ORDINANCE SIGNED TO MAKE THE MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT AT 25 MILES AN HOUR.
AND SO POSTED ON THE DERBY PARK AVENUE UNTIL THE ANA DRIVE AND ONE THAT ONCE THE SIGNS GET UP, I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND THAT SPEED MONITOR AROUND THERE FOR TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO RESPOND TO THE NEW, UH, SPEED LIMIT RESTRICTIONS ON THE STREET, THEY ARE CONTINUING WAS THERE, UH, IN THE NEW DERBY PARK, UH, SUBDIVISION THAT'S JUST BEEN DEVELOPED.
I LIKE YOU HAVE A COPY OF THAT.
I HAVE A COPY OF THE ORDINANCE.
[00:15:03]
THAT WAS EMOTION.DOES EVERYBODY HAVE A COPY? EVERYONE HAS A COPY COPY FOR EVERYBODY.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT THE ORDINANCE BE APPROVED AND THE FURTHER DISCUSSION CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.
ANY OTHER MISCELLANEOUS, MR. MATT? NO, SIR.
UM, TO KNOW IF WE CAN GET A SIGN PUT ON OFF THE CHAUTAUQUA NEAR THE GREEN POCKETS, ARROGANT CHILDREN AT PLAY, ESPECIALLY NEAR PARK AVENUE WHERE, UM, IF SOME BLACK KIDS PLAY ON IT, BUT I KNOW THEY SHOULD NOT PLAY OUT, BUT WE DO WANT TO CAUTION THE DRIVERS AS THEY COME AROUND AND DEEP KURT IS VERY FAST THAT THERE ARE CHILDREN POSSIBLY TILTED WENT INTO THE STREET SOUTH WIND.
AND WHAT WE DID, I KNOW YOUR PHILOSOPHY.
IT JUST MAKES UP THE COMMUNITY FEEL THAT WE ARE TAKING SOME EFFORT TO PROTECT THEM.
EVEN IF THE SIDE THEY SHOULDN'T PLAY THE STREET.
I DON'T HAVE TO PULL THAT UP AND PLAY AROUND IT AND MAYBE LOOK THAT UP.
DO YOU THINK WE CAN GET SOME PRETTY FLOWERS AROUND THAT SIDE OVER THERE? OKAY.
YOU GIVE OUT A NEW ATTORNEY, A HEADS UP AT MR. HARTMAN.
THEN I WORK SESSION COMING UP TO DISCUSS, UH, THE TERM LIMITS ASSAULTED SOME OF THE BOARD APPOINTMENTS, SOME OF THE BOARDS, UH, SOME, SOME OF THE TIME, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A REAL GOOD PERSON ON THE BOARD AND WE HAVE TO REPLACE THEM BECAUSE OF SOME RESTRICTION.
AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT THOSE RESTRICTIONS ARE, BUT I'D LIKE TO HAVE IT DISCUSSED AT THE WORK SESSION COMING UP.
HOW ABOUT THE FIRST ATTORNEY'S REPORT FROM THAT ATTORNEY? DOES HE HAVE IT? I ACTUALLY HAVE A REPORTS.
10 MINUTES HAVE GONE VERY WELL.
THIS IS A RESOLUTION THAT MAKES A CLERICAL ERROR IN A RESOLUTION THAT WAS ADOPTED BACK IN FEBRUARY REGARDING LETTING OF A BID.
THIS SIMPLY CORRECTS A PHOTOGRAPH OF AIR.
WHAT WAS AIR? UH, THE BID AMOUNTS WERE, WERE, WERE TRAN TRANSPOSED WITH ANOTHER BID.
AND THESE BID AMOUNTS ARE THE CORRECT AMOUNTS.
AS YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU, IS IT MORE OR LESS? IT'S ACTUALLY MORE, IT'S ACTUALLY, IT'S A HIGHER BID, BUT IT'S THE CORRECT BIT.
AND IT WAS STILL THE LOWEST BID.
IF THE NUMBERS WERE JUST TYPED IN INCORRECTLY AND THE RESOLUTION BUT TO SUBMITTED IS CORRECT.
FURTHER DISCUSSION, IF NOT, PLEASE BAN DID THAT CHANGE ANYBODY FROM EXPECTING THEY WERE GETTING THE BIG, I THINK THE CONTRACTS WERE IN THE RIGHT AMOUNT.
I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY WAS JUST A TYPE OF GRAPHICAL THING THAT JUST TRANSPOSED SOME NUMBERS THAT ONE OF THEM, ONE OF THE CONTRACTORS ACTUALLY MISUNDERSTOOD AS WELL.
AND DIDN'T REALIZE THAT HIS, HIS LOW BID WAS ACTUALLY HIGHER.
WE SHOULD HAVE ONE HAPPY, HAPPIER CONTRACTOR.
I HAVE NOTHING BEYOND WHAT WOULD BE A DISGUSTING EXECUTIVE SESSION.
GET SOMEBODY TO MOVE AND GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
