YOU READY? YOU TAKE CARE OF MINE.
WE'LL CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER AND WE'LL OPEN WITH A PRAYER BY FATHER STEVEN WARDLEY OF ST.
IT'S NINE PRAISE FOR ALL THE LAST SEASON OF CREATION.
THANK YOU A FOR THE FREEDOMS WE KNOW IN THE SPRITE, WE ASK YOU TO BLESS THIS WOMAN AND THESE MEN WHO GOVERN OUR CITY, THANK THEM.
GOOD STEWARDS, FILLED THEM WITH YOUR SPIRIT, THAT THEY MAY LEAD US IN THE WAYS OF JUSTICE, ESPECIALLY ATTENTIVE TO THE NEEDS OF YOUR POOR.
AND THOSE WHO ARE RELYING ON US FOR CARE.
WE ASK THESE AS ALL IN THE NAME OF CHRIST, ACTUALLY EIGHT.
CAN I GET THE PLEASURE OF HEARING MY VOICE EVERY SUNDAY THAT I MAKE IT AND I MAKE IT MOST OF THE TIME.
I'M LIKE, UH, FIRST THING YOU WOULD HAVE OF COURSE IS A ROLL CALL HERE.
FIRST THING THAT WE HAVE TONIGHT.
UM, AND THIS IS A NEW CAR WHO HAS A GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, I HAD THIS CITY CLERK GO AND TALK TO MR. CAR.
CAUSE I HAD TALKED TO, UH, THE CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT THE PROPER METHOD FOR DOING WHAT HE WANTED TO DO.
AND HE SUGGESTED THAT HE'D HAVE TO SUBMIT SOME PAPERWORK AND PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA.
SO I HAD BEFORE THE MEETING VICKI GO OUT AND TALK TO HIM SO THAT WE FOLLOW THE PROPER PROCEDURES.
FIRST THING THAT WE HAVE ON THE AGENDA IS A RESOLUTION FOR REVEREND THAT'D BE G HICKMAN WHO MUST HAVE, YOU KNOW, PASSED AWAY THIS LAST WEEK.
UH, HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT I MET AFTER I BECAME MAYOR.
AND HE'D BEEN, UH, A REAL FIXTURE FOR, FOR PEOPLE'S RIGHTS AND SO FORTH AROUND THE COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME.
SO THE BOARD HAS A RESOLUTION THAT, UH, I'D LIKE TO READ.
IT SAYS, WHEREAS REVEREND G HICKMAN HAS SERVED THE COMMUNITY WELL FOR MANY YEARS.
AND WHEREAS REVEREND HICKMAN WAS PASTOR IN THE MISSIONARY BAPTIST AND AME ZION CHURCH AND NEWBURN BOY HEAD CITY, ORIENTAL PILOTS WILL MAYSVILLE WASHINGTON, ROCKY MOUNTAIN GRIFFIN AND BEAUFORT COUNTY.
AND WHEREAS HE WAS PRESIDENT OF THE NAACP FOR EIGHT YEARS.
AND WHEREAS REVEREND HICKMAN WAS A MEMBER OF THE CRAVEN COUNTY VOTERS LEAGUE DIRECTOR OF MIGRATORY WORKERS AND A TEACHER OF DRAFTING AND DESIGN.
AND WHEREAS REVEREND HICKMAN PROVED TO BE A CAPABLE AND COURTEOUS OFFICIAL AND FRIEND.
AND WHEREAS WE MOURN HIS LOSS AND EXTENDED, HIS FAMILY ARE SINCERE AT THEM SYMPATHY.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE NEW-BORN BOARD OF ALDERMAN SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF ALL OF OUR SERVICES, HEREBY EXTENDS TO THE FAMILY, 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.
NOW WE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD IT TO HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.
SO MOVE SEC, ANY FURTHER DISCUSS, DO WE NEED A ROLL CALL? WE DID CALL THE ROLE PLAY.
AND THE CITY MANAGER SAYS AFTER I SIGNED THE REAL ONE AND WE FRAME IT AND SO FORTH WHEN I INVITE YOU ALL BACK UP, IF YOU WANT ME TO PRESENT IT TO YOU.
THE NEXT THING WE HAVE IS THE SEWER UPDATE BY MR. LEWIS.
[00:05:08]
UH, THE WASTEWATER PLANT TREATED A TOTAL OF 87.3, THE HOURS, THE, UH,HER SUSPENDED SOLID WAS 81% OF THE SUSPENDED SOLIDS, 81% OF THE VIOLATION OF THE PERMIT.
UH, WE'VE SAID THIS IN, UH, AND NOT PROCEEDED THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION AT THIS POINT.
UH, YOU CAN EXPECT ONE FROM THAT.
UH, AT THIS POINT IT WOULD BE UP TO THE STATE AGENCY.
UM, WE DID, UH, ASKED YOU, ARE YOU POOR? WE BEGAN TO LOOK AT THE 30.
THEY GIVE US A SPECIFIC NUMBER TO STAY, UH, COINCIDED WITH A NUMBER THAT WE WOULD HAVE SUSPENDED SOLID, UH, PARTS PER MILLION IS NEVER AVERAGE.
SO WE JUST SIT IN THE EFFICIENCY, GOOGLE MORE OF THE SOLID DISCHARGE WE HAVE.
SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING YOU ACTUALLY CHARGED LAST, UH, DISCHARGED LESS THAN 34.
SO WHILE I'M TRANSLATING FROM, THIS IS A STRANGE LIFE, BUT YOU'RE SAYING THAT THAT, THAT THE WASTE WATER THAT WAS COMING IN AT LAST SOLIDS PER, PER CUBIC METER OR WHATEVER OF WATER.
SO EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T TAKE IT OUT AT 80% OR GREATER RATE, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO IN ACTUALITY, BECAUSE IT WAS LESS SOLIDS PER, IT WAS DILUTED ANYWAY.
SO SAY THE RIVER DIDN'T GET, UH, AN OVERDOSE.
I WAS DISCHARGED THE PARTS PER BILLION THAT THEY REQUEST US TO THE RIVER, BUT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SOLIDS COMING INTO THE PLANT, YOU CAN'T REMOVE IT AT A RATE GREATER THAN 85% OUT OF THE PROBLEM.
SO WE JUST ASKED HIM, WAS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION GIVEN WHEN THEY GIVE US TWO DIFFERENT, LITTLE DIFFICULT TIMES, PRETTY DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN, BUT AS FAR AS THE RIVER UNDERSTANDING IT, THE RIVER DIDN'T GET A WHILE.
I THINK YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY IS THAT WE DIDN'T GIVE HIM A, UH, WE DIDN'T GET AN OVERDOSE, I GUESS IT WAS JUST THE FACT THAT YOU DIDN'T MEET THE, THE, UH, MATHEMATICAL PERCENTAGE.
DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANY MORE THAN NORMAL.
HAVE YOU MADE ANY MOVES TOWARDS TRYING TO GET SOME, SOME KIND OF PATH ON WHICH WAY WE'RE GOING TO GO ON SOME OF THIS STORM, WATER, RUNOFF AND DISCHARGE, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST, WE DON'T NEED TO LET UP ON IT.
THE, UM, I HAVE NOT DRAFTED A LETTER TO NANNY.
A FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GOING TO PUT A, UH, THIS BOULEVARD, LAKEWOOD, ALL VIEW THAT WE INSTALLED A, UH, SECTION FIVE, UH, PARALLEL TO THE EXISTING 18 MINUTES.
AND THEN FOR THE, UH, COMMUNITY, UH, ROBOT FARMERS WAY, UH, I CAN GIVE YOU A RECOMMENDATION, BUT WITH MY CALCULATIONS, I STILL LIVE THAT OUT.
[00:10:01]
AND WITH YOU ABOUT THE NEED TO GET A GENERAL SURVEY IN THE CITY DONE.SO WE CAN GO ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF TRYING TO CORRECT SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS. WE DON'T WANT TO LET THAT LIE LOW AND DIE, BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
I DON'T KNOW, FOUND ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE BEERS.
THERE WAS SOME QUESTION AS TO THE
SO ISN'T THAT CORRECT? A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, WHEN THIS DANNY, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING BACK THROUGH THIS, TO THE CORE, UH, AFTER WE ESTIMATE COST WOULD NEED TO BE RESUBMITTED, THERE IS, UM, I GUESS SOME UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE MAY BE SOME MONEY AVAILABLE AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF
WELL, WE WE'D LIKE TO KNOW WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO DOING SOMETHING ELSE WHEN NEXT YEAR COMES AROUND AND IT'S DATED, UH, OVER A LONGING THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED AS IT HAS A MITIGATION PROJECT THAT MAY BE FUNDED.
WHAT ABOUT THAT? WE TALKED ABOUT TRENT ROAD.
ALL OF THAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED, UH, NOTHING OFFICIAL FROM WHY I'M HERE, POSSIBLY ALL OF THESE.
HOW ABOUT AT THE NEXT MEETING, IF YOU WILL COME UP, LIKE HE'S DONE ON THE SILVER AND TELL US WHAT THE STATUS OF THAT RESUBMISSION TO GET THE DRAINAGE REPORT, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THAT STUDY IS I PUBLICLY SAY IT AND EVERYBODY IN THE BOARD AGREED AND BACKED UP WAS IS, IS NOT ONE OF THESE STUDIES JUST TO BE STUDYING, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A BLUEPRINT FOR US TO TAKE ACTION ON AND WE WILL TAKE ACTION.
SO WITHOUT THE BLUEPRINT, WE CAN'T MOVE ALL RIGHT, NEXT THING, THAT'LL BE HERE.
GONNA ADOPT THE ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF A 2.48 ACRE TRACT LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF COLONY DRIVE AT THE INTERSECTION OF NEWS BOULEVARD FROM C4 NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT TO C3 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
UH, WHO'S GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT.
WE HAVE IT BEFORE YOU AND APPLICATION FOR RESELLING BY ROBIN BRITAIN IS THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY.
AND THE REASON THIS BRIT INTENDS TO OPERATE THE BUILDING SPECIALTY BUSINESS, THERE HAVE BEEN SPECIALIZED HOUSING BEING NECESSARY TO ASSEMBLE SOME OF THE PRODUCTS.
SO NOW OTHER THAN SEVEN O'CLOCK C4 NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT IS COMPOUNDING STATE BOTH, BUT SINCE HE DOES, HE IS PLANNING ON HAVING SOME 71 SITE HE'S PROPOSING.
REZONING IS C3, WHICH IS, WHICH PERMITS THE 71 SITE.
UH, THE SITE AS A SMALL SITE IN A SEAT, THE DISTRICT WILL NOT JUMP BACK ON THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS.
IT IS ADJACENT TO ABOUT SIX ZONING DISTRICTS.
UH, CHAD FERTILIZER COMPANY ON ACROSS THE STREET IS AN AREA THAT I'M RECENTLY RESETTLED.
SO THERE IS A MULTIPLICITY OF SEWING DISTRIBUTION IN THIS AREA THAT WE SEE THREE
AND YOU ALL READ IT, READ AND SEE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERN.
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE IN OPPOSITION TO THAT? GOOD EVENING.
I'M HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF THE,
[00:15:01]
UH, NEWER CHURCH.GOD, I REPRESENT OUR CHURCH AND SOME 300 MEMBERS.
WE WERE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ANY INFORMATION ABOUT REZONING, UH, NEW OWNERSHIP OF THIS PRIMARY, UH, AND WHAT WAS GOING TO BE USED FOR, TO USE.
AND WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE AN OBJECTION, BUT I DO HAVE SOME COMMENTS AND MAYBE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, IF THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME.
UH, OUR MAIN CONCERN ABOUT THE REZONING FROM, UH, THE C3 TO C4, UH, IS, UH, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO KNOW IS IN THE EVENT THAT THIS BUSINESS DOESN'T MAKE IT GOOD, THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO REPEAT AND REVERTED TO A C3 ZONE ONCE IT'S UNSAFE, OR DOES IT REMAIN C4, MR. ATTORNEY UNTIL THE BOARD CHANGED, BUT THAT WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY, UH, OUR, UH, CONCERNS OF COURSE, WOULD BE THE TYPE OF BUSINESS THAT'S GOING IN THERE.
UH, THERE IS A, A LOT BETWEEN, UH, THE PROPERTY THAT'S IN QUESTION, UH, AS A BUFFER ZONE.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT SEVEN, BUT THEN IT IS RESIDENTIAL WITH MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLINGS.
UH, I WOULD SAY LESS THAN 500 FEET AWAY FROM THIS, UH, PROPOSED BUSINESS.
AND, UH, THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE STREET, ALL THAT WE DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL BRING, UH, AN, AN, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE WITH INCREASED TRAFFIC.
UH, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF MEMBERS HAVE WALKED TO CHURCH FROM THE APARTMENT COMPLEX COLONY VILLAGE, AND WE'D BE CONCERNED OF COURSE, ABOUT THEIR SAFETY.
UH, NO ISLAM STAND AND WALK, BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
AND, UH, IF THIS BUSINESS SYSTEM AND WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IF GOING TO IT IN, UH, THE PLACES THAT WE WOULD, UH, REALLY FIND DIFFICULT TO, UH, WHAT WOULD BE TERMED THE ADULT TYPE BUSINESS, A BUSINESS BUILDING, OR A NEW DEBRA INVOLVING MAYBE A WOMEN'S CLINIC INVOLVED WITH ABORTION OR ANY TYPE OF BUSINESS NIGHTCLUB AND THAT TYPE OF THING, COMMITTING A RIGHT AMOUNT OF NOISE.
AND YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE MANUFACTURING, A NEW OWNER, WHAT TYPE OF MANUFACTURING AND NOISE THAT WE MIGHT ENCOUNTER FROM, UH, INCREASED TRAFFIC FLOW ON THAT PARTICULAR STREET.
AND OF COURSE, SOMETHING IS, UH, IN THE BACK OF MY MIND ALSO IS TO MAKE SURE THAT BUSINESS IS PROPERLY CAPITALIZED.
THE PRODUCT IS GOING TO FORECLOSURE AND SOLD AT A VERY REDUCED PRICE.
AND THEN WE A GOOD STABLE BUSINESS WOULD BE IN THERE.
AND, UH, BECAUSE WE, WE, THAT WHAT GOES IN THERE, IT'S GOING TO BE IN THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
AND WE WANT TO HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE LOCATING THERE.
AND PERHAPS, UH, THERE CAN BE EXPLAINED JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.
WE HAVE AT THIS TIME
AND MAYBE HE CAN ANSWER SOME OF THAT
[00:20:52]
IS THIS GOING TO BE ONE SINGLE BUSINESS? OH, SORRY.
NOT THAT I'M LIKE, IT'S YOUR PROPOSAL STRUCTURE.
COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT? USE THREE C3 PLEASE.
C3 ZONING DISTRICT GIVES OUT MOST GENERAL COMMERCIAL FILMS, MOST RETAIL BUSINESSES, REGIONAL BUSINESSES, SUCH AS MALLS, SHOPPING CENTERS AND SUBLIME SEMI COMMERCIAL RETAIL SHOP.
I SHOULD EMPHASIZE ALSO INCESSANT TRACKING IS RATED TO EIGHT BECAUSE IT WILL REQUIRE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT WHERE YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD, ARE YOU TOO CLOSE TO THE REVIEWER TO THE HOUSTON SIDE IS THE IMPACT ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING AND GET THAT, GET THAT DVD IN DETAIL ABOUT SPECIFICALLY USING THE SITE IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE THE RESOLVING BASICALLY DEALS THE TYPES
[00:25:01]
OF USES THAT CAN GO ON THAT SITE.ONCE THE SITE IS RESOLVED AND THEN GENERALLY CHANGES AND PERMITTED IN A SEAT REZONING DISTRICT CAN BE OPERATED ON THAT SIDE.
AND AS I STATED, WE DO HAVE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT PROCESS THAT WILL SUBJECT THE SPECIFIC USE OF THE SITE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW AND SIT IN DEPARTMENT.
SO IF THERE WERE ANY, UH, USES ON THE, THE C3 CLASSIFICATION THAT WILL AFFECT, UH, THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY, YOU COULD USE THE, A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO, UH, ENSURE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
IS THAT CORRECT? AS FAR AS EFFECTING HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE, IS THAT RIGHT? OKAY.
WOULD YOU ALSO EXPLAIN TO HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE GENTLEMAN ORIENTAL RESTRICTIONS THAT THERE WOULD BE ON THE POSSIBILITY OF ADULT BUSINESS GOING ON THAT PROPERTY? JUST BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE WITH THE CHURCH, ET CETERA, AND OUR PRESENT ORDINANCES? YES.
PRESENT REQUIRES THAT NO, UH, NO BUSINESS TO BE OKAY WITH OF EACH OTHER.
THERE IS ONE PHOTO STREET, SO IT'S BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ONE TO BE LOCATED ON THAT SITE.
AND THE SECOND QUESTION I HAD WAS WITH GENTLEMEN, FLORIDA, I'M SORRY, I FORGOT YOUR NAME, BUT, UH, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES WOULD YOU ANTICIPATE? HOW MANY JOBS WOULD THIS CREATE FOR THIS AREA? WOW,
AND THAT SHOULD ADDRESS SOME OF THE, UH, FELLOW'S FEARS FOR MORE ANIMAL, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE THING NOT SURVIVE IN OR WHATEVER.
SECOND THING IS, I NOTICED THAT Y'ALL SAID YOU CONSIDER THE CHURCH AND YOUR INITIAL DESIGN AND YOUR BUFFERING AND SO FORTH.
AND TO ME, THAT WOULD INDICATE A GOOD INTENT OR GOODWILL TOWARD THE AREA BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY HAD GOTTEN THEM THERE.
SO I, I FEEL PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO.
I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION, MR. JONES, THIS WAS TO STAY C4 AND EXCLUDE HIS LIGHT MANUFACTURING ASSEMBLY.
HE COULD STILL BUILD THE SAME BUILDING ON HIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.
I JUST, I WANTED YOU GUYS TO UNDERSTAND, HE CAN BUILD THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.
WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO IS GET IT WHERE HE'S LEGAL TO MANUFACTURE.
SO, UH, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE PROTECTED BECAUSE YOUR, YOUR FEELINGS ARE IMPORTANT.
LAST, LASTLY, WE GOT FATHER WARS.
IT STANDS UP, BEEN IN THIS JOB.
THIS IS MY FOURTH YEAR ALL AT ONE TIME.
SO WE, WE STILL HAVE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
AND AT THAT POINT, THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH, IF YOU NEED TO STAY UP WITH THAT, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU, ANY CONCERNS THAT COME UP, YOU CAN BRING THEM UP WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
I THINK THAT THE, MY OPINION IS I THINK THIS MAY BE THE RIGHT IDEA.
DOES IT LIST? THAT'S ALL WE CAN GO WITH.
IS THERE ANY, UH, FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE CHURCH AND THEN WE'LL OPPOSITION, UH, HAVE NOW
UH, AND IT WILL HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED, UH, SETTLE HERE TONIGHT, BUT I ASSURE
[00:30:01]
YOU THAT, UH, HOW FAR FROMWE ALSO HAVE EXPANSION PLANS, UH, UH, INVOLVED, UH, AT A, THE TIME, UH, THE POSSIBILITY OF A NEW SANCTUARY FACING THAT BUSINESS.
DO WE NEED, WE NEED A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUP HERE ON THE SECOND.
SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION YOU MAY CALL THE ROPE.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT MUST HAVE WORKED BECAUSE WITH ALL THAT, WITH THE FATHER HERE IN ALL OUR RELIGION, THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I THINK, SINCE I'VE BEEN MAKING SURE THAT I HAVE GUESSED THAT IT WAS A ROLL CALL AND YES, RIGHT NOW I'M A SIX PROBABLY HEARING TO A MAN, THE 1995 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CDBG PROGRAM.
UM, PURPOSE OF
HOWEVER, IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE BY DOING THE ACQUISITION.
OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD IS THAT WE TAKE RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT AND ALL FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AREA.
WE SPENT SEVERAL NOW MONEY DOING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE LIST.
HOWEVER, WE REALLY HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPACT THE COMMUNITY IN A WAY THAT OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN HOUSES TOGETHER TO REPAIR, BUT TO THE OUTSIDE VASCULAR, THERE'S STILL AN ERROR THAT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION.
AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT TO CHANGING THE ATTITUDE THAT THIS THERE AND THE ATTITUDE THAT OTHER PEOPLE BRING HERE.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION FOR YOU TOO FAR ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLY DOING CURVING AND BASICALLY
THEY LOOK BAD, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY, YEAH, WELL, WE, WE WANT IT TO BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE MADE AN INVESTMENT.
I WOULD WANT THAT INVESTMENT TO APPRECIATE, APPRECIATE BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION THOUGH, THE INFRASTRUCTURE, UM, JUST
[00:35:01]
OTHER LANGUAGES THAT ARE OUT THERE TO IMPROVE OTHER PARKS.WE JUST FEEL THAT IN THE AREA THAT YOU'RE WORKING IN RIGHT NOW TO GET THE MOST FOR THE DOLLAR, UM, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT A FLOOD MITIGATION DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DUNCANVILLE AREA FOR THE LARGER PUMPS AND
WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT PURCHASING SOME RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, UM, OR THEY'RE GETTING THEM OUT OF AN AREA IS CONSTANTLY A TRUCK TROUBLE AREA.
UH, ALSO WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT ON THE LEAD INSTITUTE PROGRAM, UH, WITH THE, UH, YOU KNOW, ON OUR HOUSE THAT HAS BEEN, UH, TURNED INTO A POLICE SUBSTATION AND THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS IN THAT AREA, UH, TO ALSO AS FAR AS THE COMMUNITY IMPROVE, ET CETERA, JUST TO ADD WHAT OTHER EFFORTS, UH, IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE WE SPEND MONEY.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, I SUGGESTED THAT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF TO DO ALL OF THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT, THAT WE NEED TO DO, BUT LEAST SOME WAY OF GETTING THE SUPPORT ON INVOLVEMENT.
YOU MIGHT SAY ON THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO KEEP IT CLEAN, TO KEEP IT
AND I WAS WHEN I TRAVELED THAT WAY, AND I WAS LOOKING AT SOME OF THE AREAS OF THE HOUSE, AND THEN WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NOT TAKE PAIN WITH THE OUTSIDE PERSON IN THE COMMUNITY.
WE HAD A TRADE OFF, LET'S JUST DO THIS.
AND THAT'S COLLECTIVELY THOUGH.
AND THOSE OF US IN THE CITY TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS BETTER, AND THEN WE CAN GET IT MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY, A STEP BETTER IF EVERYBODY IS WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE IT BETTER.
I KNOW IT'S ONLY IF WHO SPEND MONEY IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS AND NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEN LOOK WITHIN HIM AND THEN WE'LL GO BACK TWO OR THREE YEARS LATER.
AND IT HASN'T BEEN ANY PARTICULAR MAINTENANCE OF CARE FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
I THINK THAT IN ADDITION TO THE KIND OF AMOUNT OF THE SPENDING, WHO DOES IT MOTIVATION FOR KIND OF THING, AND IT WORKS WITH
AND, UH, MR. SAMSON MIGHT HAVE SOME IDEAS ABOUT MAYBE FORMING LIKE A BEATIFICATION COMMITTEE, LIKE THEY'VE GOTTEN SOME OF THESE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS AND, YOU KNOW, TO KIND OF ORGANIZE IT WITH A FEW FOLKS OR WHAT HAVE MANY YOU WANT TO PUT ON IT, OR THEY WANT TO PUT ON IT.
AND AFTER THE MONEY IS SPENT CURB AND IN SO FORTH, LIKE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COMMITTEE BE FORMED AND HOW TO KEEP IT, KEEP IT UP AND HAVE SOME INPUT AND IDEAS INTO, WE WERE, SINCE IT'S ON THESE CONCERN ABOUT FIXING THE HOUSES,
[00:40:01]
THE UPKEEP IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE, WE HIRED A HOUSING OFFICER WORKING WITH THE OWNER OR THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT ARE AS PART OF OUR WORK.MAINTENANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE EVEN IMPROVE THE STRUCTURE.
AND THERE ARE VERY SIMPLE AND IT'S JUST THE THINGS THAT THEY CAN DO TO CONTINUE TO PAY THEM.
AND SO THAT'S ONE PART I JUST WANT TO INDIVIDUAL BASIS WITH THOSE FAMILIES THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH ARE TRYING TO GROW THE TIES WITH THE PROPER CERTAIN SERVICES THAT THEY MAY NEED THAT MAY NOT BE AWARE ON.
AND THEN ON A BROADER CLIENT, WE'LL BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT TRYING TO ORGANIZE THE COMMUNITY, THE NEIGHBORHOOD INITIATIVES THAT THE BOARD DOES, WHERE ARE THEY IN THE AREA, THESE TWO GEORGE STREET BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND THE DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT.
UM, WE ARE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH SOME STAFF FROM UNIVERSITY TOMORROW, AS A MATTER OF FACT, AND AGAIN, OUR CLIENTS MEETINGS NEXT WEEK.
AND ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD TODAY WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GIVING SOMEBODY A FISH VERSUS TEACHING THEM FISH.
AND, UH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH GOING TO BE THE EMPHASIS OF NEIGHBORHOOD INITIATIVES.
AND AS WE MOVE FROM THE AREA EAST OF GEORGE STREET, THE NEXT YEAR PROPOSING GOING INTO THIS IS GENERALLY WHERE WE WE'D SEE AREA.
AND WE SEE THOSE TWO THINGS DOVETAILING, UH, IN THE EDUCATION, UH, AND, UH, REALLY HEAVY COMING FROM INSIDE THE COMMUNITY AND STILL HAVE, YOU CAN GO INTO A COMMUNITY AND MAKE AN INVESTMENT AND BACK NOW.
BUT IF YOU HAVE A JOKE WITH FOLKS TO DEVELOP THE PASSENGER,
NEXT THING WILL BE THE CONSENT AGENDA.
AND I THINK WE POOL SEVEN AND 13, WHICH ONE? THERE? SEVEN AND 13 IN THE POOL.
THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT READY AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
THEY DIDN'T GET OF, OH, I MAKE A MOTION.
WE ADOPT THE CONSENT AGENDA MINUS ITEM SEVEN AND 13.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA YOU MIGHT CALL THE ROAD.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS APPOINTMENTS THAT'S DOWN ON THE BARBERS IN, EXCUSE ME, BARBARA, DO YOU HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS? THAT'S PAPERWORK? I CAN'T HEAR NORMALCY ANYMORE.
I COULDN'T TELL WHETHER YOU OR NOT.
BUT
HE'S GOING TO BE TIED FROM THAT POSITION.
AND SO I WANT TO SUGGEST THAT WE, HIS WIFE HE'S GOT THE SAME PLACE.
AND TO THE LIBRARY COMMUNITY AND
[00:45:09]
I NOMINATED SOMEBODY LAST WEEK.I DIDN'T HAVE THE PAPERWORK, SO I DON'T MIND IF YOU DON'T, IF THE BORDER
DIDN'T YOU USED TO BE A SCHOOL TEACHER.
I BELIEVE I POINTED HER TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY.
WHAT I TELL YOU, WHAT IF SHE ACCEPTS THE, A LIBRARY BOOK? WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE THE BEST BOARD THOUGH.
WELL, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM ANYBODY.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING YOU DON'T KNOW.
WE'LL GO BACK DOWN TO MISCELLANEOUS, UM, PAPERWORK WHEN SUBMITTED, BUT OKAY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE PAPERWORK.
DO YOU KNOW? UH, YOU HAVE, YEAH.
WELL, IT SAYS THE NOTE ON THERE FOR D REAPPOINT.
RICHARD PEELER IS, UH, THE CHAIRMAN, WHICH, UH, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S GOT AN OBJECTION TO, EXCUSE ME.
WERE YOU GIVEN ANYTHING FOR THE, UH, THE JUSTICE? IS IT RICHARD PILL? NO.
MR. HANOVER, RICHARD PAYLOADS ON THE HOUSE.
WELL, ALL IN FAVOR OF REAPPOINTING, RICHARD PELLET, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY, HE SAY, AH, I WANT TO POSE NOW.
DAVID HIPS TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS.
YES, BECAUSE HE RESIGNED MEREDITH SMITH.
THAT'S MR. DAVID HIP TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS.
MAX, DO YOU HAVE ANY, THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE, I HOPE YOU SAW IN THE PAPER YESTERDAY WHERE THE TIM CONNOR PASSED AWAY WAS THE OLD, WHAT, WHAT WAS HIS POSITION CURATOR OR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO CALL YOU AT THE MUSEUM? HE VIRTUALLY WANTS TO MUSEUM.
FOR ME, WE'RE TALKING, WE'RE TALKING 50 YEARS IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND HE WAS A, IT WAS A MAINSTAY.
HE LOVED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, LOVED THE CITY OF NEWBURGH.
AND I'LL TELL YOU THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GONNA MISS THE OLD GUY RIDING A BICYCLE UP AND DOWN THE STREETS.
SO JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HERE KNEW THAT HE HAD PASSED.
WHY DON'T WE FIND SOMETHING TO COMMEMORATE HIM AND PUT IT IN TO ME? I'D LOVE.
TAKE PICTURE OF HIM OR DO A RESOLUTION ALSO.
WE'RE GOING TO, HIS FUNERAL WILL BE TOMORROW.
AND ONE OF HIS WISHES WAS TO BE TRANSPORTED ON THE OLD FIRE TRUCK.
SO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BOTH MOST OF THE CAREER FIREMAN IN THE VOLUNTEERS HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER, MAKING SURE THAT HIS FINAL WISHES ARE TAKEN CARE OF.
HE WAS A, LET'S TALK ABOUT VOLUNTEERS.
THEY DON'T COME IN, BUT IN HIM YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, THAT'S THE WAY I SAY MY 28 YEAR OLD GRANDFATHER WAS BURIED BACK IN THE 20TH, THE FIRE, IF YOU EVER REMEMBER, WE WENT INTO THE MUSEUM AND HE WAS THERE.
THAT'S WHY I SAY, WELL, WE ALL DID RENT A CAR.
UH, COMMEMORATING PERMANENTLY IN THAT, IN THAT MUSEUM TRULY WAS A PART OF IT.
ARE THERE ANY PHOTOGRAPHS AVAILABLE OF HIM FOR SEE IF WE CAN FIND, WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND, JUST HANG SOMETHING AND THEY'LL HELP PAY FOR IT OUT OF MY WARD MONEY.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE MAN, BUT LET'S SEE IF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAN COME UP WITH SOME NICE PICTURE.
IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU GUYS WORKING ON THE PROBLEMS WITH THE STORM WATER.
I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE CALL AND ASK ABOUT HOW WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT IT IS.
[00:50:02]
NO ONE KNOWS.WE NEED A BRIEF EXECUTIVE SESSION RELATIVE TO A PERSONNEL ISSUE.
AND ALSO, UH, AN ISSUE OF DEALING WITH THE PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY.
I'M WILLING TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
SECOND, ALL ON FIRE PERSONNEL, MAN.
