[00:00:16]
FEEDING THE ORDER OPEN WITH A PRIOR, UH, DR.
JACK HENTON OF TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH.
CAN MR. SAMSON TAKE CARE OF US?
WELL, FATHER, THANK YOU, FATHER, WHO WAS ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER WITH ALL THESE THINGS UP? ALL OF THEM PEOPLE'S FAVORITES WHO LOVE WOMAN
FIRST THING WE'D LIKE TO DO IS MAX ASK SOME GUESTS HERE, LIKE RECOGNIZE ME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. MAYOR, ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, IT WAS A VERY GREAT PLEASURE FOR MY WIFE AND MYSELF TO HAVE AN EXCHANGE STUDENT FROM TURKEY, LIVE WITH US FOR A YEAR.
AND WE DO LOVE HIM QUITE A BIT.
AND SEVERAL YEARS AGO, WE VISITED HIS FAMILY IN TURKEY TRIP.
AND WHILE THERE WE MET HIS LOVELY SISTER AND TOLD HER WE'D GO WITH HER TO COME VISIT US.
NOW THAT HAS OCCURRED, THEY ARRIVED.
SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARRIVED SATURDAY NIGHT.
THEY'RE SPENDING THREE WEEKS WITH US SHOWING THE NEW BERLIN SANDOVAL FESTIVAL AND SOME OTHER SITES IN NORTH CAROLINA.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE ME TO THE BOARD DR.
HUSH MET BALDACCI WHO WAS A CARDIAC SURGEON AND ANKARA AND HIS WIFE, DR.
AND WE'RE CERTAINLY TO HAVE HIM HERE.
WE WANTED THEM TO SEE HOW POLITICS WORKS IN AMERICA.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF NEW PANTS
NEXT THING I'D LIKE TO DO BEFORE WE GET DOWN TO SOME OF THE BUSINESS ON THE AGENDA IS TO RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT MR. AUGUSTINE HEINER PASSED AWAY.
HE WAS A FORMER ALDERMAN AND NEWBURN NATIVE.
I KNEW HIS FAMILY QUITE WELL AND GREW UP AROUND HIM.
AND WHAT PEOPLE REALLY THINK OF WHEN THEY CONSIDER THE TERM GENTLEMEN, ONE STORY I'D LIKE TO TELL ABOUT MR. PINER, THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET IS THE DAY THAT WE HAD THE ELECTION.
MY SON, WHO WAS AT ONE OF THE POLLS CALLED ME UP AND HE SAYS, YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.
HE SAID, I SAW A MAN COME DOWN HERE IN A WHEELCHAIR, DRAGGING AN OXYGEN BOTTLE DEVOTE.
HE SAID, I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
AND UH, HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO VOTE FOR YOU.
AND I SAID, WELL, WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE? AND HE COULDN'T, HE WAS TRYING TO DESCRIBE HIM TO ME AND THAT KIND OF THING.
AND SO I WAS NAMING OFF SOME FOLKS NAMED MR. POTTER.
AND HE SAID, THAT'S WHO IT WAS.
AND I CALLED HIM THAT NIGHT AND THANKED HIM.
AND, UH, FOR A LOT OF REASONS, ONE WAS THE VOTE OF COURSE.
AND THE OTHER THING WAS TO BE A REAL EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO, TO BE IN A DEMOCRACY AND TO MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT WAS AS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF A VOTE.
[00:05:01]
ONE WITH A VOTE.AND I'LL NEVER FORGET AS LONG AS I LIVE.
AND I'VE TOLD THAT STORY MANY TIMES AND HOPE MY SON PASSES IT ON.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THAT DEMOCRACY CAN EVER WORK IS WHEN PEOPLE TAKE THE VOTE SERIOUSLY.
SO WE'RE THINKING OF HIS FAMILY AS A BOARD AND, UH, AND I WISH THEM WELL.
AND MR. PINE WILL BE MISSED BACK.
WE HAVE A RESOLUTION I'D LIKE TO READ FOR THE FAMILY.
IT SAYS, WHEREAS THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF NEIGHBOR AND WERE GREATLY GRIEVE TO HEAR OF THE DEATH OF AUGUSTINE PINER JR.
AND WHEREAS MR. PINER TOOK OFFICE IN 1967 AND SERVE AS NEWBORN ALDERMAN FROM THEN UNTIL 1971.
AND AGAIN, FROM 1981 TO 1983, WHEREAS MR. POTTER WAS A MEMBER OF TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH, DEACON AMERITAS, TRUSTEE OF THE CHURCH AND MY FORMER SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER.
WHEREAS HE RETIRED 41 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH THE US POSTAL SERVICE.
WHEREAS HE WAS A MEMBER OF BURN MASONIC LODGE, NUMBER 7 24, THE NEIGHBOR ON YOUR RIGHT BODIES AND SUDAN TEMPLE.
AND WHEREAS MR. PINE ARE PROVED TO BE A CAPABLE, HONEST, COURTEOUS, AND TRUSTWORTHY OFFICIAL AND FRIEND.
AND WHEREAS WE MOURN HIS LOSS AND EXTENDED HIS FAMILY, OUR SINCERE APPRECIATION OF HIS DEDICATED PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES.
NOW THEY'RE FOUR WILL BE IT RESOLVED BY THE NEW-BORN BOARD OF ALL OF THEM.
AND SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF ALL OF OUR CITIZENS, HEREBY EXTENDED THE FAMILY AND THIS EXPRESSION OF SINCERE REGRET FOR HIS LOSS AND THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL BE CONSOLED BY THE MEMORIES OF HIS FINE LIFE AND ACHIEVEMENTS.
DO YOU WANT TO HEAR A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT? SO MOVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR, SAY, AYE, WHY WOULD WE NEED A ROLL CALL FOR THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS I'LL GET IT RIGHT.
IT'S GOOD THAT WE DID VOTE ON IT TWICE BEER WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT.
I JUST LIKE TO ADVISE THE PUBLIC THAT A DEAR FRIEND OF ALL MUNICIPALITIES JUST PASS HIS NAME IS DAVID REYNOLDS.
HE IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NORTH CAROLINA LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES.
HE WAS A GENTLEMAN, A GENTLEMAN, AND A FRIEND OF ALL MUNICIPALITIES.
I HAD AN OCCASION TO MEET HIM SEVERAL TIMES.
HE WAS ALWAYS VERY PLEASANT AND HELPFUL TO ME.
AND IF THE MAYOR DOESN'T MIND, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR BOTH MR. PINER AND MR. REYNOLDS, BECAUSE THEY WERE BOTH DEDICATED TO PUBLIC SERVICE.
WE, UH, IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT PEOPLE IN PUBLIC SERVICE GET THAT KIND OF PRAISE.
I'M REAL FAMILIAR WITH THAT, BUT NONE OF THOSE FOLKS REALLY DESERVE IT.
SO THE NEXT THING SPEAKING IN PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO REALLY DESERVE IT, I LIKE TO PRESENT TO A OUTGOING ALDERMAN.
WHERE IS IT? HERE? IT IS MR. DON, DON, IF SOMEBODY KNOWS TAKING THE JOB ELSEWHERE AND DON'T BE LEAVING THE BOARD.
THAT WILL BE NAMING IT AFTER HIM, AFTER HE GETS.
AND I'LL HAVE TO SAY PAN DON'T MIND SAYING, UH, I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE ABILITIES OF THE BOARD OR ANY OF THAT TYPE OF THING BEFORE I GOT ON THE BOARD.
AND AS I'VE TOLD MANY PEOPLE, I HAVE GROWN TO, TO RESPECT EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD, THEIR INTELLIGENCE, AND A WILLINGNESS TO FIGHT FOR ISSUES AND THAT KIND OF THING.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY ADMIRE, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH THE PERSON AND SURELY WE DIDN'T ALWAYS AGREE.
WE AGREED A LOT OF TIMES, BUT THE REAL TEST, I GUESS, OF WHETHER SOMEBODY HAS CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY AND SOMETHING ON THE INSIDE, AS WELL AS THEY HAVE A CONSISTENT POSITION AND THEY HOLD.
AND I THINK, DID YOU GO TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS ON THAT I'D LIKE TO PRESENT TO YOU? WHY IS IT AS AN APPRECIATION FOR DEDICATED SERVICES TO CITIZENS OF THE CITY?
[00:10:46]
UH,I'LL BE BACK ON IT IS STUNNING, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK.
FIRST THING WE HAVE, I GUESS NOW IS THE AGENDA ITEMS. AND THE NEXT THING IS THE REQUEST AND PETITIONS OF CITIZENS.
AND I ASKED WHERE THE CITIZENS GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME FORTH AND TELL US WHAT'S ON THEIR MIND ONCE A MONTH.
SO DO WE HAVE ANYBODY HERE THAT IT NEEDS TO COME FORTH AND THE TOPIC IN GENERAL, WE DON'T THAT'S IT IN THE FIRST, BUT HE'S CLOSE TO HIS CLASS.
SO THE NEXT THING IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.
WE HAVE ANY ITEMS ON IT THAT NEED TO BE POOLED OR DISCUSSED OR, YEAH, IT'S GOOD.
I MOVE, WE ADOPT THE REMAINING MATTERS ON THE CONSENT OF JUMPY SECOND.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THAT? CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.
AND, UH, BEFORE WE HAD THIS SCHEDULED AND UH, SO, UH, TAKE YOUR VIDEO TAPE CAVEAT, WHICH I MUST SAY THIS, THIS IS THE PAST
[00:15:06]
PLACES.THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM HOUSE
SO PETER
[00:20:06]
QUESTION.WELL, THIS IS, LET ME STOP THIS JUST A SEC.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT'S AROUND THIS PARTICULAR HOUSE.
HERE'S THE
MA'AM
THIS IS THE BUILDINGS LET'S SAY ALSO ON THE 1400 NACRE STREET SIDE.
AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER LITTLE ROOM BESIDE THIS HOUSE AND THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING NEXT DOOR, WE FOUND THAT SOME OF THE PROPERTY AND SOME OF THE, FROM OTHER PIECES OF PROPERTY WERE ACTUALLY IN THE OF, AND IT'S ILLEGAL TO HAVE THOSE REFRIGERATORS OUT THERE FOR THE DOORS.
WE HAVE SETTLED ALL BUILDINGS IN THE CITY.
ALSO, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS ONE, THEY ACTUALLY BELONG TO THE ASSET ERRORS, BUT MR. BEST TELLS US THAT HE HAS CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY, BUT HE SAID, HE'S NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS THE BEST PROPERTY.
THERE ARE TWO MORE, TWO WEEKS AGO.
THEY'RE NATURALLY GOT INTO THE DOWNSTAIRS PORTION OF THAT INSIDE THE HOUSE.
YES MA'AM THERE WERE ABOUT SEVEN.
THE OTHER QUESTION HAS TO BE ASKED.
IS THERE GOING TO THAT OH YES.
HOW ABOUT THE OTHER UTILITY WATER SUBSIDY AT WORK? JOHNNY, IF YOU WANTED TO, IF YOU WOULD, IN YOUR OPINION, UH, IS THAT HOUSE ANYWAY NEAR SABLE? IT SHOULD SAY IN YOUR OPINION, AS AN INSPECTOR ME, I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THAT
[00:25:01]
ANY HOUSE TO BE SAFE.WOULD IT BE CHEAPER TO BUILD A NEW ONE AND TO TRY TO, OKAY, WELL, LET'S DO PROCEDURE.
IF I HIT INTERRUPT RIGHT HERE, BUT AT THE LAST MEETING, IF YOU REMEMBER, I ASKED MR. BEST.
IF HE DID COME BACK TO THIS MEETING, IF HE COULD COME WITH SOME ALTERNATIVE OR SOME SUGGESTED AS IF HE COULD REPAIR, UH, WE GAVE HIM THE OPTION, I THINK FOR THEM TO SPEAK NO CLARINET UP HERE, DON'T WANT TO CUT YOU OFF AS BEST, BUT, BUT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HERE FOR NOW IS TO GIVE US A SUGGESTION IS HOW YOU CAN SAVE THE HOUSE.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST IS DONE.
WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW IS HOW CAN YOU SAVE THAT? THAT'S WHAT I INSTRUCTED YOU ON THE LAST MEETING.
HOW CAN WE SAVE THE HOUSE? WELL, HOW CAN YOU SAVE THE HOUSE? OTHER THAN THAT? THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE HERE FOR RIGHT NOW.
LET'S SEE IF I HAVE
AND WHEN YOU DEAL WITH, WITHOUT THE
[00:30:07]
UH, LET ME ASK MR. CLARK AND INSPECTOR OR MR. WARD, WHICHEVER IS MORE APPROPRIATE TO GIVE US THE INTENT OF THE LAW THAT ALLOWS FOR DEMOLITION OF HOUSES.
WHAT IS IT? WHY DO WE DO THAT? WHO WANTS TO ANSWER? SO THE DEMOLITION OF HOMES IS THAT ALSO THE, WHAT I SAW WHEN FRIDAY
IT TELLS US IF THE, IF THE HOUSE CONSTRUCTED ENTITY MEET CERTAIN, OR DOESN'T MEET CERTAIN THINGS LIKE THE SAFETY, THE HEALTH, AND THIS TYPE OF THING, THEN THEY'RE THINGS THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO TO PROTECT THE REST OF THE PUBLIC.
AND ON THE OTHER HAND, WE HAVE TO WEIGH OR CONSIDER THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THEY WOULD HAVE ON THE INDIVIDUAL, OF COURSE, BUT IT'S THE OPINION OF THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT THESE THINGS, THAT IT WOULD COST MUCH MORE TO BRING THAT HOUSE INTO REPAIR THAN IT WOULD TO BUILD A WHOLE NEW HOUSE AND THEREFORE HAVE A NEW HOUSE.
AND SO REALLY, YOU KNOW, IT PUTS US AS A BOARD AND THE DILEMMA OF EITHER IN HORSE, IN THE LAW AND, AND AT LEAST FROM OUR PEOPLE THAT GIVE US ADVICE AND NOT REALLY CAUSING AN ECONOMIC IMPACT, UM, OF ANY CONSIDERATION, YOU KNOW, AND, AND YET WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND DO THE THINGS THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO FOR THE REST OF THE PUBLIC.
SO, YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S THE POSITION IT PUTS US IN.
I MEAN, DO WE JUST IGNORE HOW BAD DOES A HOUSE HAVE TO BE? HOW MUCH WORSE WOULD THAT, BUT THIS HOUSE I HAVE TO BE BEFORE YOU THINK WE SHOULD CONDEMN IT.
AND HE ASKED ME, HE ASKED ME
[00:35:01]
A LANE, I GUESS, IF YOU CAN'T WRITE AND ASK TO COME IN AND TEAR ALL THAT DOWN.SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE LIEN? WELL, THE HOUSE I WAS RAISED IN, I WISH I COULD SEE IT, BUT IT WAS BULLED OVER SOME SOMETIME AGO.
SO, YOU KNOW, BUT ANYWAY, WELL, ARE YOU SAYING TO GIVE YOU TIME AND YOU CAN BRING THE HOUSE UP TO DATE IF HE'S IN YOUR TOWN AND YOU CAN TEAR IT DOWN YOURSELF WELL, LET ME, LET ME, LET ME EXPLAIN WHERE, WHERE WE'RE GETTING INTO A PROBLEM TO BRING THAT HOUSE IN THE COMPLIANCE, I THINK WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
I MEAN, A BUNCH, HE SAID
DO YOU
WHO, WHO I, WHO ARE YOU REFERRING TO WHEN YOU SAY GRANT, MAN
JOHNNY, THE PUBLIC CAN WALK IN AND WALK RIGHT IN THAT HOUSE CAN HONESTLY, SO THERE'S SOME OTHER PEOPLE HERE WITH LOOKING AT DATA.
AND I KNOW FOR A FACT, SINCE I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THEY, HAVEN'T BEEN A LOT OF CONCERN FOR THAT PARTICULAR DWELLER, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S ALL OF US LIVING IN THERE.
IT FEEL THAT IT'S A PLACE THAT PEOPLE CAN BE.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE VEGAS IS THE WOMEN AND THE RESULTS.
AND I HAVE A COMPLEX ABOUT THERE BEING DOLLS AND WALKING.
LET ME JUST SAY HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS.
YOU KNOW, THAT I FEEL PERSONALLY DID THAT HOUSE SHOULD COME DOWN.
AND I WASN'T EVEN WHEN I LIVED THERE, BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE THE DEFENSIVE THINGS THAT I'VE JUST SEEN, IT WAS NOT A WAY OUT THAT THERE WERE 13 REFRIGERATORS SITTING ON THE LOCKERS AND VIVID THREAT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEN THE CHILDREN COULD GO UP AND CRAWL AND DIE.
I WOULD NEVER EVER KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.
I LIVED THAT KIND OF THING IS, GOES TO THE COMMUNITY
[00:40:01]
AND A REAL GRIT.NOW, THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD DO PERSONALLY, IS THAT YOU HAVE SOME MEETINGS YOURSELF TEARING DOWN.
OTHER THAN THAT, I WILL NOT BE EXTENDED IN TIME OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN, BUT THAT'S THE WAY I SPENT THAT'S
I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYBODY ELSE FEELS ABOUT
I KNOW THAT WE HAVE WORKED ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE OVER THREE OR FOUR YEARS.
THAT THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAD WHEN I FIRST CAME HOME ALMOST NINE YEARS AGO.
AND THAT WAS THAT, THAT PARTICULAR HOUSE.
AT THAT TIME, THERE WERE CARS ON THE ROUNDED PROBLEMS AND THEN THEY CAN BE SOMETHING PEOPLE WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT
ASK THE DOG TO GO TAKE A LOOK AROUND.
SO I WOULD THINK THAT EVEN IF SOMEONE STAYED IN THERE, WILL THEY HAVE WASTE? WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT? SO I CONSIDER THAT IS A REAL PROBLEM.
NOW THAT I'VE SEEN THIS, I WOULD BE
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER PROPERTY? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN YEAH, SOMEBODY ELSE NEEDS TO COME FORTH.
IF YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS, COME UP TO THE PODIUM.
[00:45:25]
MR. BASS.YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A RICH MAN LIKE THIS FISH
NOW I'M SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM AT THAT HOUSE.
WHEN YOU COME IN DOWN THE STREET, GOING DOWN THERE AND THIS, THAT, AND THE NEXT DAY I ASKED HIM LAST NIGHT
AND SHE TOLD ME THAT I SIT ON MY PORCH, THE DOGS, AND I'M SO SCARED THAT WE'RE GOING BACK.
SOME THAT I SEE CHILDREN COMING DOWN THE STREETS.
NOW YOU CAN FIX THAT HOUSE AT AND ALL OF THEM
DOES ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? LIKE WE WE'VE HAD, WE'VE HAD THE INPUT FROM, FROM POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, AND FOR IT, AND AGAIN, IT AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
I THINK IT'S TIME FOR US TO MAKE A DECISION.
NOW WE HAVE A MOTION TO SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
SUE ORDINANCES AND, UH, GAVE HIM SEVEN DAYS TO REMOVE THE BELONGINGS AND SO FORTH.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION CALL ON THE ROAD? YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.
[00:50:08]
WE'VE ALREADY MADE THE MOTION AND THE ORDINANCE AND THE WHOLE BUSINESS.AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO JOHNNY
YOU GOT SEVEN OF TEAR IT DOWN OR GET YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS OUT OF THERE.
THAT'S WHAT THEY VOTED TO GIVE YOU SEVEN DAYS TO GET ANY VALUABLE ITEMS OUT OF THE PREMISES.
OR YOU CAN TEAR IT DOWN WITHIN SEVEN DAYS.
THERE'S ANOTHER BOOK CALLED THE CITY ORDINANCES TO GIVE, GIVE ME WHAT LITTLE POWER I GOT AND ALL THAT WAS JUST EXERCISED.
SO, BUT YOU DON'T GIVE ME, OKAY, JOHN, WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO SAY, JOHNNY? YOU WERE TRYING TO, I DON'T THINK I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, AND I HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH WHATEVER
SO I MEAN, S WE NEED TO MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE.
AND HE'LL, HE'LL BE RIGHT HERE, BUT WE NEED TO REALLY DO NEED TO MOVE HOME AND SAY, WHEN IT'S ALL THIS STUFF,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NO, NO, I'M SAYING IF YOU CAN'T MOVE IT, THEY WILL MOVE EVERYTHING FOR YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO, IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS IT FURTHER, WE'LL HAVE TO DO IT AFTER THE MEETING, BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY PASSED THAT POINT IN THE AGENDA.
IT'S ALREADY GONE AND WE NEED TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA.
UM, DO WE HAVE GONE? DO YOU HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS, PLEASE DO THAT ALL TOGETHER.
IF YOU WANT THIS HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM.
BARBARA, DID YOU HAVE ONE FOR THAT? SOMEBODY ELSE HAS GOT ONE.
IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE AND WE GOT PLENTY OF NAMES, PEOPLE FIRST
[00:55:02]
TO SEE SOME, OKAY, WHAT IS THE BEST ONE? THEN WE MAY WANT TO TALK ABOUT IN OUR NEXT SESSION.WORKSTATION IS MAYBE INCREASING THE SIZE OF THIS TEAM BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SUCH A LARGE RESPONSE ON PEOPLE WANTING TO SERVE ON IT.
WELL, YOU WANT TO DEFER YOUR WITH YOUR WESTERN ONE NEXT TIME, MAN.
MAX, MR. JOHN LEWIS, UH, SPENCER AND I HAVE A MRS. JEAN ED TYPE OVER THERE.
SHE LIVES OVER BY WARD MANNY ROAD.
MAYBE I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE MR. STEVE.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET STEVE, STAND UP.
HE'S A NEIGHBOR OF MINE WHO HELPED ME OUT DURING THE HURRICANE.
TELL YOU THAT HE LEAVES BEHIND MR. HARTMAN.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? YOU DON'T HAVE ONE.
DO WE NEED TO TAKE A VOICE VOTE ON ONES THAT ARE NOMINATED TONIGHT? YEAH.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE ONES THAT HAD BEEN MENTIONED.
ANY OTHER APPOINTMENTS BY ANYBODY? NOPE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY DOGS? ANYTHING ELSE? NOBODY HAS ANY MIGHT AS WELL.
ONE THING THAT I NEED TO DO ON THE MISCELLANEOUS IS, UH, PUBLIC POWER WEEK.
I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED TO READ THIS RESOLUTE WHOOPS PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS I GOT SEVERAL OF THEM.
AS A WHOLE PILE OF WHERE AS IS, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE TO THE THING IS THAT THE, UH, WE'RE GOING TO ASK THEM TO MAYOR AND THE BOARD OF, UH, HALDEMAN AND THE CITIZENS DO HEREBY PROCLAIM, OCTOBER THE SIXTH THROUGH THE 12TH, 1996 IS PUBLIC POWER WEEK IN THE CITY OF NEWBURGH AND HONOR NIEBER AND ELECTRIC UTILITIES.
IT'S CONSUMER OWNERS, POLICY MAKERS, AND EMPLOYEES WHO WORK THE GALA TO PROVIDE THE BEST POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY.
SO THIS WILL BE PUBLIC POWER AWAKEN AND A RECOGNITION OF ALL THE MUNICIPAL POWER COMPANIES THAT WE HAVE ACROSS THE STATE.
AND AGAIN, I REALLY, IN FACT, I GOT SOMEBODY TO CALL ME TODAY AND, UH, YOU DON'T RARELY GET TOO MANY COMPLIMENTS IN THERE WHEN YOU ON THE GOVERNMENTAL SIDE OF THINGS, I GUESS, AND THIS WASN'T A COMPLIMENT, BUT IT WAS A COMPLIMENT TO THE CITY THAT THE CITY WAS TAKING CARE OF SOME UTILITY PROBLEMS THAT SOME FOLKS HAD.
AND THEY, UH, I HAD BEEN TOLD THAT THE CITY WOULD GET TO IT.
AND IN FACT, THE CITY HAD BEEN WORKING AT IT TO GET TO IT.
AND THEY WERE JUST PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AND AMAZED.
AND YOU SEE IT IN MASS PUT IN LIKE FOUR OR FIVE DAYS IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA, TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN UP A PROBLEM.
AND, UH, AGAIN, WHEN EACH PERSON HAS THEIR OWN PROBLEM AND SAYING LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S FOREVER, BUT REALLY THAT THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB.
AND, UH, I THINK IT SHOWED IN THE SECOND HURRICANE VERSUS THE FIRST.
AND HOPEFULLY WE WON'T HAVE ANY MORE, BUT HOPEFULLY IF WE EVER DO IT'LL IT'LL SHOW EVEN BETTER.
SO IT'S WELL DESERVED THAT NIGHT.
SO DO YOU HAVE ANY MISCELLANEOUS, DON? YOU GOT YOUR HALLWAYS BACK NOW SINCE YOU COULDN'T.
AND THE PROCESS OF REMOVING THE PHONE, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE GREENBRIER PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION COOPERATED ON BEHALF OF ALL
[01:00:01]
THE RESIDENTS OF THE GREENBRIER GOODBYE FROM HANS FORMALLY KNOWLEDGE AND OFFERS SINCERE APPRECIATION FOR ALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE.SO PROFESSIONALLY PASSIONATELY ON EMPLOYEES, AGENCIES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT NOT WITHOUT SEPTEMBER.
MY MOM WAS REALLY GOOD AT, FOR YOU HERE FOR ABOUT, UH, NO, I HAD SOMETHING, BUT JUST SAY I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY STAFF AND WHOEVER WAS CAME OUT AND SPRAYED THE BALL FIELD BEFORE THEY GAVE WITH WEST CARTER.
THE PEOPLE HAD A VERY ENJOYABLE NIGHT WITH NO MOSQUITOES.
IT'S MADE ME LOOK PRETTY GOOD AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
I FEEL, I APPRECIATE, APPRECIATE WHAT EVERYBODY'S DONE.
WE'RE AHEAD OF EVERYBODY ELSE.
NOBODY ELSE WANTS TO BORROW OUR SPRAY, LAUGH AT THEM WHEN IT BOUGHT.
AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I PASSED OUT A RESOLUTION A FEW MINUTES AGO TO APPROVE A CONTRACT WITH THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RELATING TO INSTALLATION OF WATER AND SEWER LINES ON CRYING AND BOULEVARD CONNECTION WITH WIDE STREET, ASSUMING THEY GET COST OF THE PRODUCT DOWN SO THEY CAN AWARD THE CONTRACT.
I MOVE ADOPT THE RESOLUTION, SIR.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, WE NEED A ROLL CALL FOR THAT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT I BELIEVE TONIGHT YOU'RE GOING OUT ON THE WHOLE, YES.
