AND ALL OF THE FACILITIES WERE IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR PERMITS, THE, UM, WHICH WATER TREATMENT PLAN IS, UH, COMING ALONG VERY WELL.
UM, MOST OF THE CONCRETE STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED OR WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF COMPLETION, UH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PUMP STATION, UH, THE DIFFUSER, WHICH IS AN ITEM THAT'S A LAGGED BEHIND, IT WAS A SECONDARY REQUIREMENT BY THE STATE HAS BEEN SENT TO THE STATE FOR COMMENTS.
[00:05:01]
THE, UM, UH, TRENT WOODS PROJECT, UM, WILL BE SENT TO THE STATE FOR REVIEWING COMMENTS THIS FRIDAY, UM, WHICH WILL PUT SEWER A PLAN TO PUT SEWER IN ALL OF TRENT WOODS.AND THE, UH, CORY PROJECT, UH, HAS BEEN SENT TO THE STATE AND WE'RE AWAITING COMMENTS BACK FROM THEM, UM, THAT, UH, PROJECT WILL HAVE TO HAVE ONE FINAL STUDY DONE.
AND THAT IS TO LOOK AT THE SOILS AND THE HYDROLOGY OF OUR LAND APPLICATION PROPOSAL AT THE MCELHANEY FARM SO THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED TO THE STATE.
UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
ONE THING YOU MIGHT WANT TO HEAR.
I HAD SOMEBODY COME UP TO ME A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THAT, UH, WAS THAT THE HEARING THAT WE HAD AT THAT TIME WHEN WE WERE GOING TO DISCUSS WITH THE COUNTY, YOU KNOW, TAKEN ALL THEIR SUICIDES TO THEM AND A LOT OF FOLKS CAME FORTH AND YOU KNOW, BOTH MOSTLY AGAINST THE TIMES ON BOARD AND THAT SORT OF THING.
THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS ONE OF THE MORE VOCAL ONES.
AND, UH, AT THAT TIME, AND THIS INDIVIDUAL CAME UP TO ME AND SAID THAT THEY HAD CHANGED THEIR MIND AND THEY WERE WRONG.
I SAID, SAY IT LOUDER WHEN THEY WENT AND SAID, WELL, BEFORE WE TAKE ANY CREDIT, WHETHER WE WERE RIGHT OR WRONG OR ANYTHING ELSE, I JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, WE ALL FELT LIKE AT THE TIME AND WE STILL FEEL LIKE IT WAS BEST FOR EVERYBODY CONCERNED AND WE APPRECIATE THE ONES THAT VOTED FOR IT OVER, THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR TRUST IN US TO DO RIGHT THING.
BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE INTEND TO DO.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT INDIVIDUAL REALIZED OUR SINCERITY.
I'M PLEASE DO, UM, GIVE THE EMPLOYEES OF THE WATER AND SEWER DEPARTMENT, A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CREDIT FOR THE LONG HOURS THAT THEY HAVE PUT INTO PLACE THAT SYSTEM IN A, IN A GOOD OPERATIONAL SITUATION INTO REPAIR, UH, THINGS THAT WE FELT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED.
AND, UM, UH, TO THIS DATE, I THINK THAT WE ARE DOING WELL WITH THE SYSTEM AND IT, IT IS A GOOD SYSTEM AND VERY VIABLE AND A VERY GOOD SPRAYER IRRIGATION SYSTEM AT THAT.
WE DO RECOGNIZE OUR GOOD WORK.
SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE HAVE NEXT HAZARD MITIGATION REPORT.
AND WHAT WAS YOUR NAME? UM, I'VE GIVEN EACH OF YOU A COPY OF MY, OF MY NOTES.
UM, AS OF TODAY, THERE HAVE BEEN 24 UNITS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
WE HAVE FOUR OTHER UNITS THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
A TOTAL OF NINE UNITS ARE IN SOME OTHER STAGE, FOUR OF WHICH ARE READY TO PROCEED.
THE WAITING FOR CONTRACTORS ARE WAITING FOR CONCURRENCE WITH OWNERS.
WE HAVE TO THAT WE'VE MET WITH THE OWNERS AND THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE US DEMO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEFORE WE CAN PROCEED.
WE HAVE ONE THAT HAS TO DO SOME REPAIRS IN HIS OWN HOUSE BEFORE WE CAN GET TO WORK ON IT BECAUSE OF VARIOUS BUILDING, BUILDING CODE CONCERNS.
THERE ARE TWO UNITS WHICH ARE PRIORITY 40 AND 41 THAT WE'RE HOLDING, UH, AS A CONTINGENCY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO ADDRESS AT LEAST THE FIRST 39, IF WE HAVE ENOUGH AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THAT NEXT COUPLE MONTHS, WE'LL PROCEED ON TO PRIORITY 40 AND 41.
WE HAVE TWO UNITS REMAINING TO BE BID.
THOSE ARE BOTH MOBILE HOMES THAT ARE AN ELEVATION ABOVE NINE FEET.
UM, THERE ARE TWO UNITS WE NEED TO REBID BOTH OF THOSE, UH, FOR VARIOUS REASONS WE'RE VERY HIGH COSTS.
WE'RE GOING TO GO AND TRY TO GET THE COSTS REDUCED ON THOSE TO TRY TO GET THEM BACK WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE FEEL LIKE THE PROGRAM CAN OFFER.
UH, THERE WERE FOUR ACQUISITIONS THAT WERE RECENTLY APPROVED BY THE DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.
ONE OF THOSE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PROP PROCESSING, THE ACQUISITION OFFER.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S QUITE GOTTEN TO THE MANAGER'S DESK YET, BUT IT'S ON THE WAY.
IF IT'S NOT THE, UM, THERE ARE THREE OTHERS THAT WERE PREPARING THE OFFERS AND HOPE THEY HAVE THE OFFERS TO THE FOLKS NEXT WEEK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT HAVEN'T BEEN SATISFIED KNOWING THAT WE'RE NOT IN THE PROCESS OF SATISFYING? I PUT IT THAT WAY.
UH, WE'VE HAD ONE OR TWO DIFFICULT CASES, UM, THAT WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH, BUT I THINK ARE ON A POSITIVE WAY OF GETTING THROUGH, UH, MR. DAVIS HAS BEEN DEALING WITH US ON THOSE AND WE'VE HAD SOME OTHER MINOR REHAB THINGS THAT WE'VE HAD TO CANCEL A DESTRUCTION CONTRACT AND GET SOMEBODY ELSE FROM THERE TO FINISH UP.
BUT I THINK THOSE ARE POSITIVELY MOVING FORWARD TOO.
I HAVE ANYBODY THAT'S COMPLAINING THAT THEY DON'T SEE ANY LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TONGUE.
AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IF I'M OUT HERE, YOU KNOW, I REALLY TRY TO INTERCEDE BEFORE THEY GET TO YOU, BUT THANK YOU.
[00:10:02]
LET'S SLATE.THE NEXT THING WE'VE GOT HERE, THE LITERAL BUY-TO-LET REPORT, MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE, UH, DURING THIS, UM, TRACKING PERIOD, THERE WERE, UH, LET'S SEE, I'M SORRY, 10, 19, UM, LITTER, UM, ENCOUNTERS, UH, SEVEN CHARGES, FOUR WARNINGS, UH, SIX WARNINGS, FOUR LETTERS WERE SENT IN THERE'S TWO CONTINUING INVESTIGATIONS, UH, DURING THAT SAME TIMEFRAME, UH, WE ISSUED 21 NOISE VIOLATIONS AND, UH, JUST AS LITTLE ANECDOTAL INFORMATION, THIS IS BECOMING A LARGER AND LARGER REPORT.
UH, WE, UH, ISSUED 34 RED LIGHT VIOLATIONS IN ONE MORNING, UH, FOR RUNNING A RED LIGHT DURING THAT TIMEFRAME, I GUESS THE WARNING MUST'VE BEEN REAL CLOSE.
SOMEBODY GOT A BREAK DURING THAT TIMEFRAME.
I WAS IN THE CAR WITH SOMEBODY TODAY WHO SHALL REMAIN UNNAMED.
AND IN CASE ANYBODY THAT WAS MAKING A GUESS IT WAS NOT MY WIFE BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS STOPS, BUT IT'S AN INDIVIDUAL ROLE, JUST A LITTLE BIT AT THE STOP SIGN AND THEN WENT HOME.
I SAID, YOU KNOW, DON'T BE REAL EMBARRASSING.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SO THAT INDIVIDUAL WAS MADE AWARE.
UH, WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT ROLLING THROUGH THE LIGHT OR ROLLING.
IT IS MY STOCK I'M MAKING PERSONALLY, I THINK IS MORE TO ME AND THAT I DON'T SEE AS MUCH OF THIS STUFF THAT OBVIOUSLY, WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU AN IDEA THAT IT PROBABLY IS WORKING.
UH, THE PATROL SHIFTS DEDICATED THE TRAFFIC, UH, TEAM DID MOST OF THE CITATIONS PATROL TEAM DEDICATED A LOT OF TIME TO TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT AT THE INTERSECTIONS.
AND WE'RE ONLY ABLE TO PRODUCE A HALF A DOZEN OR SO TICKETS.
SO THEY'RE NOT SEEING THE VIOLATIONS THEY WERE SEEING JUST A MONTH AGO.
AND I HAVE ONE MORE, UM, KIND OF, UH, AN ANNOUNCEMENT, A LITTLE BOASTING IF YOU WILL.
UM, A WEEK AGO, A WEEK AGO, THIS PAST SATURDAY, THE, UM, NEWBURN POLICE DEPARTMENTS, EXPLORER POST COMPETED IN THE FIRST EVER EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA EXPLORER COMPETITION.
AND, UH, WE WENT TO A CAMP ON, UH, UH, CAMP BONNER.
AND I WON'T GIVE YOU MY TEARING TERRORIZING EXPERIENCE WITH TRYING TO FIND THAT PLACE.
BUT AT ANY RATE, WE FOUND THAT THERE'S A NORTH CAMP BONNER, WHICH IS LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER AND YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE.
SO IT WAS PRETTY EXCITING, BUT WHEN WE DID GET THERE AND THE COMPETITION PROCEEDED, THERE WERE I THINK FIVE OR SIX, UH, EXPLORER POSTS REPRESENTED THERE.
AND THERE WERE ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN EVENTS THAT WE PARTICIPATED IN, INCLUDING, UH, DRILLS AND INSPECTIONS AND, UH, SOME, UH, PERSONAL, UH, ATHLETIC ADVANCED, LIKE, UH, THERE WAS A NATURE RUN AND A KIND OF AN OBSTACLE COURSE THAT THEY RAN.
THERE WAS ALSO A VEHICLE TRAFFIC STOP, FELONY TRAFFIC, STOP EXERCISE AND BUILDING SEARCHES THAT THEY ALL PARTICIPATED IN.
AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME OUR EXPLORER POST HAS EVER COMPETED FOR ANYTHING.
AND, UH, TWO ARE NOT SURPRISED ACTUALLY BECAUSE THEY'RE GOOD KIDS, BUT TO OUR DELIGHT, THEY TOOK, UM, FIVE FIRST PLACE AWARDS.
THEY TOOK, UH, TWO SECOND PLACE AWARDS AND FOR THIRD PLACE AWARDS AND THEY WON THE OVERALL COMPETITION.
AND SO IT WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THEM AND THEY'RE REALLY PUMPED UP.
AND I GOT TO TELL YOU MORE SO THAN THE TROPHIES THAT THEY WON.
IT WAS THEIR ENTHUSIASM, THEIR TEAM SPIRIT AND THEIR, THEIR KIND OF SPORTSMANSHIP OR THEIR COMRADERY WITH THE OTHER TEAMS THAT WERE THERE BECAUSE AS THEY WERE COMPETING, THEY WERE ACTUALLY ROOTING ON THE MEMBERS OF THE OTHER TEAMS, NOT JUST THEMSELVES, BUT DURING THE RUNS AND EVERYTHING THEY'D RUN BACK DOWN AFTER RUNNING TWO MILES.
THAT'S WHAT YOUTH IS ALL ABOUT.
THEY'D RUN BACK DOWN A HALF A MILE AND CHEER A BUNCH OF KIDS ON TO THE FINISH LINE.
SO I WAS REALLY PROUD OF THEM.
AND SO IT WAS ALL THE ADVISORS THAT THEY DID A GREAT JOB.
I HEARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT.
MY Y'ALL ARE REALLY DOING A GREAT JOB TRAINING THEM, AND I'D HEARD IT.
ONE GUY LOST ONE OF THE RACES JUST BARELY, BUT HE DID GIVE A GUY TO BEAT HIM A TICKET.
I APPRECIATE IT, MR. MAYOR, I THINK THAT THE, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT IN COMMENDING, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH THESE KIDS FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, BECAUSE IT JUST SEEMS THAT THERE'S A, THERE'S A COMRADERY AMONG THE MEN IN UNIFORM AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM THAT IS TRANSMITTED TO THESE YOUNGSTERS THAT GIVES THEM THAT EXTRA EDGE.
AND I THINK THAT, UH, IT'S CERTAINLY AT LEAST AS MUCH A VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE FROM THE DEPARTMENT WHO WORKED WITH THEM AS IT IS FOR THE SCOUTS THEMSELVES.
IF I COULD TELL YOU THE JOB, IF I COULD TELL YOU HOW THE REACTION OF THE, THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE DEPARTMENT, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS POST, THERE WAS KIND OF MIXED REACTION ABOUT GETTING INVOLVED IN IT.
[00:15:01]
SANGJI RAN WITH IT, A COUPLE OF OTHER PEOPLE, BUT SAL WAS REALLY THE CHAMPION OF, AND HE RAN WITH IT UNTIL HE, HE WOUND UP IN A POSITION TO SHIFT CHANGES AND EVERYTHING.SO I PUT OUT A NOTICE, WE NEED SOME ADVISERS AND SOUND NEEDED HELP ANYWAY.
AND AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN PEOPLE JUMPED UP.
AND I MEAN, LIEUTENANT POWELL AND SERGEANT PRESTON, I'M GOING TO NAME, I'M GOING TO MISS SOME PEOPLE'S.
UH, I APOLOGIZE, ME, SERGEANT WE'LL CUT.
AND JUST A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE GOT INVOLVED IN IT, ALSO FLOWERS.
AND THEY WORKED WITH THESE KIDS AND THEY TRAINED THEM AND THEY RAN WITH THEM.
AND I MEAN, IT'S SO HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH THEM.
AND WE'RE GOING TO, WE'RE HAVING A PLACE AT THE END OF DEPARTMENT.
ONE OF THE END OF THE HALLWAY IS PROBABLY ON THE FIRST FLOOR IS GOING TO BE THERE AT THE EXPLORERS DISPLAY AREA.
AND WE WERE GETTING A BANNER FOR THEM AND THEY'RE GOING TO DISPLAY THEIR AWARDS AND EVERYTHING.
YOU'LL BE THERE ALL THE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO SEE.
I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED IT BECAUSE THE OFFICERS AND THE STAFF, PEOPLE THAT WERE INVOLVED WITH THEM, UH, OFFICER ROWE AND HIS WIFE, Y NET, THAT JUST FABULOUS JOB THEY DID WITH THEM.
AND WHEN YOU SAID SAL YOU'RE SPEAKING OF OFFICER ZENJI YES.
HE HAS DONE WELL FOR THE DEPARTMENT AND FOR THE CITY AND CITIZENS SINCE HE'S BEEN HERE.
AND I CAN'T FORGET HOW, HOW EXCITED MY DAUGHTER, MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS WHEN SHE SPOKE OF HIS APPEARANCES AT HER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
SHE'S ABSOLUTELY IN HIGH SCHOOL NOW, BUT SHE JUST THOUGHT HE HUNG THE MOON.
SO YOU'VE GOT SOME GREAT PEOPLE DOWN.
GREAT PEOPLE UP AND DOWN THE LINE.
BUT HOW FAR DID YOU GO TO THE SCOUTS? ACTUALLY, I WAS NEVER IN SCOUTS AND I WENT THROUGH THE CUB SCOUTS AS FAR AS I GO, BUT I WISH THAT I HAD GONE FURTHER AND I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT Y'ALL DOING WITH THE, UH, YOU KNOW, HAVING THAT SCALE IMPROVE BECAUSE I STILL AM VERY STRONG SUPPORT ON THE SCOUTS BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS LEFT IN THE CADRE THAT IT REALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU WERE PERSONAL LEVEL, BE SORRY THEY GOT INVOLVED IN IT, EITHER THE ADULT OR THE KID.
AND JUST A LITTLE ASIDE, IF I HAD A GONE FURTHER THAN TO CUB SCOUTS, OR YOU HAD, WE WOULD HAVE FOUND CAMP A LOT FASTER THAN WE DID.
I WENT ONE TIME TO THE CUB SCOUTS.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE KNOW, IT'S THE FACT THAT THE KIDS ARE OUR FUTURE AND THE DEPARTMENT'S COMMITTED TO YOUTH PROGRAMS, WHETHER IT BE THE SCOUTS, THE EXPLORERS, OR THE, UM, THE YOUNG MARINES OR THE YOUTH FOOTBALL AND A BUNCH OF THINGS THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN.
MR. MAYOR, I'M REALLY GLAD TO HEAR YOU TALKING ABOUT HOW, YOU KNOW, YOU WISH YOU COULD HELP MORE.
I KNOW, I KNOW SEVERAL SCOUT TROOPS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR ADULTS THAT ARE WILLING TO GO OUT AND CAMP OUT WITH THESE KIDS OVER THE WEEKENDS, IN THE WOODS WITH THE, AND THE TICKS.
IF I DID IT AND SURVIVED, YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T.
OH, I, THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
IF YOU CAN BE SLIGHTLY A CUB SCOUT PLED.
SOMETHING ABOUT HONOR AND ALL THAT GETS DONE.
I CAN'T LESLIE, WHAT WAS THAT? YEAH.
WOULD YOU MAKE THE SAME OFFER TO ME? IF I GIVE YOU THE BOY SCOUT OATH, SHOW YOUR MONEY ON MY HONOR.
I WILL DO MY DUTY TO DO MY BEST.
I DON'T KNOW TO GOD, THE GOD OF MY COUNTRY MORALLY STRAIGHT.
I REMEMBER MOST OF IT, BUT I'D HAVE TROUBLE GETTING IT IN THE RIGHT ORDER.
THAT WAS 53 YEARS AGO THAT I LEARNED THAT WAS A SAFE, HEY, IF YOU MADE IT, I DO IT.
WHEN IN FACT WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT IS WE ARE TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING.
SO THE CLUB, A HEARING, WON'T ASK YOU TO BEAT HIM UP, BUT WE CAN VOTE ON A RESOLUTION CALLING OUT HERE.
AND IF WE PASS IT TO THE PUBLIC HEARING WOULD BE ON WHAT NIGHT? ON ONE OCTOBER, THE OCTOBER, THE EIGHTH.
SO I'LL MOVE IT UP TO RESOLUTION.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THAT? IF NOT CALL ROLL, PLEASE, MAN.
[00:20:01]
WE HAVE IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.MOVING THE CONSUMER HERE A SECOND.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I JUST ONE QUESTION.
WELL, NO, NO, I KNOW WE'VE BEEN OVER ITEM NUMBER 14.
I JUST, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS THE ONE THAT WE'D, THAT EVERYTHING'S IN PLACE AND IT SAYS IT IS.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS APPOINTMENTS, MS. MASS.
I DON'T HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS TONIGHT, SIR, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR SOME MOM AND PEOPLE ARE NOT AT DO, UH, VOLUNTEERS.
WELL, THE A ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD, IF ANYBODY WAS, WE'D LIKE TO GET ON THAT ILLUSTRIOUS BOARD AND GIVE ME A CALL AND I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT 5 1, 4, 2, 5, 6, 4.
AND I MIGHT ADD TO THAT, NOT THAT ANY OF THE OTHER BOARDS ARE NOT IMPORTANT, THEY'RE ALL IMPORTANT, BUT THAT ONE IS A VERY, THAT ONE WILL GIVE YOU A DOSE OF WHAT WE GO THROUGH.
SO ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT FEELS LIKE THEY GOT THE NERVES THAT FREEZE.
I DON'T HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS OR MISCELLANEOUS.
IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING.
AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT IS SO I WILL PASS MR. RYAN.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING RIGHT, SCOTT, THIS IS TOO EASY.
LET ME, LET ME MAKE SURE I'M NOT LEAVING SOMETHING, NOT A STRETCH THIS OUT.
MY WIFE, MY WIFE'S NOT BACK WITH THE CAR YET.
WELL, MORE OF IT'S COMING BACK ON MORE OF IT'S COMING.
I MAY GET IT BEFORE THIS MEETING'S OVER THE ATTORNEY'S REPORT.
I HAVE A, JUST A BRIEF REPORT SENTENCE, THE CHEAPEST MENTIONING THE EXPLORERS.
AND, UH, I WANTED TO REPORT TO THE BOARD ON OUR, UM, NATIONAL CHAMPIONS THAT WE HAVE WHERE THE ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT.
WELL, OUR NATIONAL CHAMPIONS WENT TO THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN KANSAS CITY, UH, JUST A SHORT WHILE AGO.
AND WHEN THEY RETURNED, THEY WERE COMPETING WITH, UH, MORE THAN 220 OTHER, UH, MUNICIPALITIES INVESTOR ON UTILITIES.
CO-OP THIS WAS EVERY, EVERYONE WAS THERE.
THEY FINISHED FIRST OVERALL IN THE MUNICIPAL CATEGORY AND THEY FINISHED FOURTH OVERALL IN THE COMPLETE 220 SOME, UM, UH, TEAMS. AND AS AN EXAMPLE, YOU CAN SEE PNL, BOTH COMPETED, NEITHER FINISHED IN THE TOP 20.
UM, UNTIL YOU CAN NAIL THAT, THEN TOP 30, UH, OUR PEOPLE, WE HAVE SOME REAL QUALITY PEOPLE.
I'D LIKE TO BRING THEM TO THE BOARD MEETING AT THE NEXT MEETING AND ALSO THE SPORES PERHAPS, AND JUST LET THEM BE RECOGNIZED BY THE BOARD FOR THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
SO, ABSOLUTELY PLAN ON DOING THAT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER THING TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION.
AND I MADE THIS OFFER ONCE BEFORE, BUT SINCE I NOW KNOW THAT ROB HAS GOT A THOUSAND DOLLARS, ROBERT I'M ABOUT, I'M ABOUT THREE WORDS, SHORT PERIOD.
I'LL GET THOSE OTHER THREE WORDS.
CAUSE I KNOW THE BUDGET THERE ISN'T A MONEY UNTIL THE STATE DOES SOMETHING.
THE DECALS, YOU GO ON THEIR VEHICLES.
IT'S LIKE AIR, UH, YOU KNOW, CHAMPS NATIONAL CHAMPS.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE BEST IN THE WORLD AND OUR GUY, BUT REALLY I'M THINKING, WOULD I GET IT AND PUT IT ON THEIR, ON THEIR VEHICLES AND SHOW THAT WE'RE PROUD OF WHAT THEY DID.
AND UH, YOU KNOW, THE FOLK COMING THROUGH TOWN, SEE WHAT KIND OF CLIENT PERSONNEL WITH, I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE MONEY ISSUE.
I WANTED TO REPORT IT FOR TONIGHT.
ALSO THE HOUSE TODAY ADOPTED ON THIRD READING THE SALES TAX, THE HALF CENT SALES TAX THAT WOULD BE GOING TO EFFECT IF IT'S ADOPTED BY THE COUNTY, UH, ON DECEMBER THE FIRST OF THIS UPCOMING YEAR, WHICH WILL HELP TO OFFSET SOME OF THE REIMBURSEMENTS THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET WHEN I REPLACE ALL OF THEM, BUT IT WILL MAKE IT A LITTLE SOFTER.
AND SO FOR THAT, AND I KNOW OUR LEGISLATORS, UH, BOTH, UH, MR. WAINWRIGHT AND
[00:25:01]
MISS UNDERHILL SUPPORTED THAT LEGISLATION.AND WE APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.
SO YOU GET A CHANCE AND YOU SEE THEM THINKING, OKAY, CHIEF, YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO REMEMBER THAT.
I'M DOWN TO PHYSICALLY FIT, MORALLY STRAIGHT AND MENTALLY ALERT, OR I'VE FORGOTTEN THAT LAST FRAME.
AND I DID HEAR, UH, TONIGHT ON THE NEWS, ONE OF OUR POLITICIANS ABOUT NOT MISSING HER, BUT IT WAS A STATEWIDE POLITICIAN JUST TO DEFERENCE TO THE INDIVIDUAL.
I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT LADY.
Y'ALL WATCHED THE NEWS AND SEE WHAT IT WAS.
BUT THIS INDIVIDUAL SAID HE WAS VERY PLAID, DID THE HALF CENT TAX
HE SAID, BECAUSE NOW THE COUNTIES AND CITIES WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE ECONOMY, KEEPING THIS STUFF.
AND I WAS SITTING AT EIGHT AND I THOUGHT, BUT IT'S A SALES TAX.
I THINK MAYBE HE WON'T BE BACK NEXT WEEK.
