[00:00:02]
AND WE DID SET THE, UH, ROCKY RUN HERE AND FOR WHAT? THE SECOND ONE, THE FIRST MEETING THE SECOND TUESDAY IN JANUARY, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WORD GETS OUT.
THE NEXT THING IS A CONSENT AGENDA.
UH, SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA? COLORADO PLATE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS? NO, MAX? NOPE.
UH, THE MISSING TWO, I GUESS THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY ONE IS, IS, IS FOUND OUT THE PLANTS ON THE BOYS GROWING UP.
WE WERE APPOINTED JAGGED AFTER THE PLANNINGS ONLY.
DO WE NEED ANY MOTION OR WHATEVER? OKAY.
HAVE RIGHT MISCELLANEOUS, UH, WHERE ARE WE STANDING? THE FOOTBALL, THE PROCLAMATIONS HAVE BEEN DRAWN OUT.
I'VE GOT THE SIGNS 40 SOMETHING, 42 43.
WE MIGHT HAVE TO GET THEM STAMPING.
WE HAVE TO, BECAUSE OF THE FIREWALL AND IT'S BECOME FOOD AND GET IT OUT OR SOMETHING.
DO YOU HAVE ANY MAX? I JUST LIKE TO SAY TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, WE WEREN'T PICKING ALL THE FLOOR TO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE COUNTY IS NOT DOING ANY IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, THAT HAS BEEN AN AREA THAT BOARDS OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE NOT HAD GOTTEN INVOLVED IN.
AND, UH, CRAVEN COUNTY IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY THAT CHOOSES NOT TO DO THAT AT THIS TIME.
SO THEY WANT YOU TO TAKE THAT PERSONAL.
IT'S A IT'S IN LINE WITH ALL THE OTHER COUNTIES.
YOU'RE ONE OF US TO BE THE BAD GUYS.
WELL, THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DIFFERENTIATES US FROM COUNTY GOVERNMENTS, UH, AND MY UNDERSTANDING OF IT.
SO, UH, I GUESS IT'S YOU JUST, YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY HAVE TWO ITEMS. OH, OKAY.
MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
I HAVE A LETTER HERE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES OF CRAVEN COUNTY.
THEY ARE, UH, CONCERNED THAT IN THE NEW FEDERAL BUDGET, THERE WERE NO CRISIS INTERVENTION FUNDS SET FORTH TO ASSIST, UH, LOW INCOME FAMILIES WITH, UH, ENERGY.
A LOT OF YEARS, WHEN A FAMILY HAS TROUBLE MEETING THEIR HEATING BILL, UH, THEY MAKE PROVISIONS.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS GIVEN MONEY FOR THOSE FAMILIES TO RECEIVE SOME ASSISTANCE, TO HELP PAY THOSE BILLS.
UH, C P AND L HAS A PROGRAM WHEREBY THEY APPROPRIATE, UH, SOME FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT, UH, FUNDS TO HELP PEOPLE IN THAT CATEGORY.
AND THE EMC HAS APPROPRIATED SOME FUNDS.
AND SINCE, UH, CITY OF NEWBORNS, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE LEFT OUT.
IF THERE'S STAY, HAVE REQUESTED THAT WE CONSIDER APPROPRIATING TO THEM $10,000, UH, TO BE USED FOR SUCH PURPOSES, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IF FEDERAL FUNDS COME, THEY WILL THEN NOT UTILIZE THE CITY OF UBEROUS FUNDS.
THEY'LL UTILIZE THE FEDERAL FUNDS.
IT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WE DO THIS.
I TAKE, LEAVE OUR OWN, OUR CITIZENS OUT WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE IS RECEIVING SOME ASSISTANCE, I'LL MAKE THAT MUCH IN DISCUSSION.
DO WE NEED A ROLL CALL OR NO? THEY HAVE A, UH, INCOME CRITERIA AND THEY MAKE THEM DO IT IN ORDER TO GET FEDERAL FUNDS.
[00:05:04]
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT, UH, SAME PEOPLE COME IN HERE EVERY YEAR OR EVERY MONTH.I THINK IT'S A MAXIMUM, I BELIEVE $200 PER FAMILY THAT THEY CAN GET DURING THE YEAR.
IT MIGHT BE 400, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S TWO.
I CAN FIND OUT FOR YOU WHEN YOU'RE THERE 200 A YEAR, I'VE TALKED TO THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE A DETERMINATION AND THEIR FUNDS HAVE BEEN CUT SO SEVERELY.
AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY CAREFUL HOW THEY USE THAT MONEY.
UH, DMT AND CP AND HELL IS THAT, THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.
BUT SEE P AND L DOES THIS ON A MONTHLY BASIS.
IT GOES TO THE STATE OFFICE AND THE STATE OFFICE, UH, DISTRIBUTES IT OUT.
LET'S PROCEED P AND L CUSTOMERS, SAME WITH EMC PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE CITY OF NEWBRIDGE UTILITIES.
AND I CHECKED INTO IT AND THEY ARE, THEY ARE TIGHT AND WE DISCUSSED IT.
WE NEED A ROLL CALL OR ALL IN FAVOR, SAY, AYE.
UH, ONE MORE ITEM TO COME BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, WE ARE STILL PURSUING, UH, OPTIONS ON DEVELOPMENT OF THE GREEN PARK TERRACE APARTMENTS.
AND, UH, WE HAD REACHED THE POINT WHERE AT THIS POINT, WE NEED TO START FINDING OUT WHAT KIND OF FEDERAL MONEY IS AVAILABLE FOR US TO UTILIZE, TO DO THIS, UH, PROJECT.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS A LIMITED, UH, RESOLUTION TONIGHT.
YOU HAVE IT BEFORE YOU, WHICH WOULD AUTHORIZE STAFF TO GO AHEAD AND BEGIN WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE VARIOUS APPLICATIONS THAT WOULD BE INVOLVED, UH, SOURCES OF FEDERAL FUNDS.
THE CITY HAS RECEIVED A GRANT TO HELP IN THERE MIGHT BE SOME CITY FUNDS THAT WOULD BE COMMITTED TO THIS, THIS, IN THIS ENDEAVOR THERE IN THAT REVOLVING LOAN, WHICH IS NOT TAXES FROM THE CITY OF NEWBURGH, BUT IT'S FROM THE, UH, YOU DAG, UH YEAH, THE EARLIEST ROUND OF FUNDING.
UH, WE NEED TO DO THIS TO DO ON IT, BUT WE DO NEED THIS ADOPTED, IF YOU CAN SEE FIT TO DO IT TO NOT LATER ON, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE TAKING THE INITIAL STEPS TO GET IT OFF TO SOUTH FRONT STREET PROJECT THAT PROVED TO BE TOO EXPENSIVE.
THIS AND THEY WAS DOING THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THEIR INTEREST IN THESE BEFORE
[00:10:31]
YES.AND HE'LL SPEECH
