[00:00:03]
WE'LL CALL THE MEETING AND WE'LL HAVE THE OPEN PRAYER BY DADDY MATTERS AT THIS TIME, HAVING TO FOLLOW WITH YOU.
THANK YOU GOD, FOR THIS PRIVILEGE THAT WE HAVE TONIGHT TO COME TOGETHER AND WE'LL DO THE BUSINESS AT THE CITY.
WE ASK LORD THAT YOU WOULD GUIDE US AND LORD, THIS BODY IS A DELIBERATE.
WE ASK GOD TO GIVE HIM WISDOM.
LORD, HELP US ALL GOD TO DO THAT, WHICH IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THIS COMMUNITY.
AND I WILL PRAY IN JESUS NAME.
I THINK THE NEXT THING WE'LL DO, WE'LL HAVE BARBARA LEASING STAR-SPANGLED LAND.
FIRST THING IS REQUESTING A PETITION OF CITIZENS AND MR. GAME.
AND THEY ASKED IF HE COULD GO AHEAD AND BE FIRST.
YOU, I WANT TO STATE YOUR NAME AND WHERE YOU'RE FROM THE BOARD.
WELL, MY FIRST BLOCK, SOME OF THEM PROBLEM FOR CIGARETTES AND THE ONES THAT DON'T INFORMED YOUR MOUTH TO SCREAM AT ME, IF YOU WOULD PASS THE WORD TO THE MAYOR, THAT WOULD BE A GOOD POINT.
IF I'M OUT ON THE LINE, LET HIM TELL HIM.
I'LL HAVE SOME TIME AND TOLD HER ABOUT THIS BY THIS BOARD.
IF YOU WOULD TALK SLOWLY AND JUST TALK A LITTLE SLOW TOO, I CAN GET THAT.
UM, YOU MIGHT ASK ME WHY I DON'T HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE UP HERE AND THESE CASES WERE SPOKESPEOPLE, BUT WHEN YOU'RE INCORRECT, MEANINGFUL, LEGAL ASSISTANCE, LABOR LAWS, FRIENDS, AND RELATIVES PLAY AWAY, BUT I'LL DO A SUBJECT HERE, ALL ABOUT DAMAGE TO THE STREETS AND MOBILE HOME PARK I OWN, OR I'M ROLLING.
UM, I'D LIKE TO READ TO YOU ALL OR SOME FUN ABOUT THE YEAR OF 1968 TO 1970, THE GLEN LAKE VILLAGE, MOBILE HOME PARTNERS DEVELOPED AND BEGAN THE OPERATION FROM THAT TIME UNTIL 19 79, 1 OF THE CITY NXP MOBILE HOME PARK, GARBAGE AND TRASH PICKUP SERVICES WERE PROVIDED BY THE CURRENT OWNER.
AND ON PRIVATE CAR TRUCKS PROVIDING THE BASE SERVICES WERE LIKE WAVER.
SINGLE-AXLE WAS LIKE A PASSIVE DEAL FROM ONE TO SEVEN TIMES.
WELL TOMORROW OPERATION, ALL THIS BEGAN TO CHANGE IN 1979 HAPPENED THE CITY I MISS THE MOBILE HOME PARK.
[00:05:03]
THIS WAS WHEN WE WERE OUT PROTEST AND THE PROTEST ALL FORCED DOWN INSTALLATION OR LABEL AND WITHOUT CONSULTATION CONSIDERATION, CONCERNING ROAD STRUCTURE TO ROAD CAPACITY OR CONTRACT SERVICE.AND THAT FAR, THIS WAS THIS FOR LATER ALL OF THIS IN PLACE AND OPERATING BEFORE THE 1979 ANNEXATION, YOU CAN SEE IT FIRST.
SO WITH THE SAME TACTICS AND POWER INCLUDED INTO THE FORCED DOWN THAT SECTION, WE'LL SEE TRUE, PERHAPS MONDAYS, THE CITY THAT DISPATCHED HEAVIER AND HEAVIER TRUCKS UP TO 50, TO A HUNDRED POUNDS, BUT OUR CURRENT LISTSERV AND US AS THE WAY TO THE TRUCKS SURRENDERING INCREASE.
SO DID THE DISRUPTION ON THE STREETS WERE NOT IN THE PROCESS, TAKEN OUT AND REPLACED IN BROOKLYN ASPHALT ROAD.
FOR THAT IT WAS IN THE CAR WITH AN AVERAGE SIX INCHES OF LIMESTONE, TWO INCHES OF BASKETBALL.
AND I HAVE ENCLOSED COPIES OF CONSTRUCTION, COMBUSTIBLE PROPOSAL AND CONTRACT JUNE 7TH, 1994, BARRELS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.
EXACTLY WHAT PARIS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, WHAT REPLACE A COST, OH, APPROXIMATELY $55,650.
AS ON JUNE 7TH, 1994, NOT NECESSARILY DAMAGE SO FAR ST.
PAUL'S A WAR AND WAR, THE FOLLOWING REASONS, NEGLIGENCE AND DIFFERENCE.
CERTAINLY THE COST TUITION OF THE UNITED STATES, HOW MUCH MORE SWEAT GUTS AND SOUL, WHAT TAPE PACIFIED AND JUSTIFY SO-CALLED PROGRESS DUE TO THE FACTS.
AND I'M BILLING THE CITY OF NEWARK FOR 55, ABOUT $650, THE APPROXIMATE COST OR APPROPRIATE IN THE MOUTH, 55, 6 50.
I REQUEST AN INSIST ON A COPY OF THIS LETTER, ESTIMATION INCLUDED IN THE PUBLIC FILES.
AND THE MINUTES OF THIS MEETING, I WILL TRY AND ANSWER THE QUESTION ON THIS.
IF YOU HAVE IT, IF NOT, YOU CAN RETURN THE ANSWERS WHENEVER YOU AND MR. WAR IS NOT HERE TONIGHT TO, TO HANDLE ANY OF THAT.
I SAY, MR. WARD IS MISSING TONIGHT.
SO HE WOULD BE AT ONE TO ANSWER THAT.
SO THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO, I GUESS, IS SUBMITTED AND LET MES AWARD ANSWERING RIGHT.
AND HE WOULD BE THE ONE THAT I HAVE TO ANSWER UP ABOUT ALL THAT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PEOPLE PASSING ON
[00:10:18]

WE WILL BE SCHEDULING THE MEN TO COME IN AND PAINT ON THE WALL DURING THOSE THREE WEEKS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
PLEASE COME OUT AND CELEBRATE WITH US.
NEXT, MY NAME IS FRANK KERR AND I'M FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY.
AND I KNOW YOU GOT WENT IN THE SOUND.
WOULDN'T FEEL TOO GOOD IF I DIDN'T COME DOWN HERE AND TALK TO YOU AT LEAST ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS.
SO WHAT I HAVE IN MY MIND TONIGHT IS A FEW THINGS THAT ARE GOING IN A PRICE.
OH, ONE OF THEM IN THE PAPER THE OTHER DAY, IT PROBABLY HELPED ME OUT A LOT, THIS PARKING SITUATION AND THIS, UH, TICKET MASTER THAT SOMEBODY HAD CREATED THAT ON THIS END OF THE TOWN, UH, THIS WOULD BE NICE.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE DOWN HERE, BUT YOU HAVE ONLY ONE PROBLEM, ALL THE SPACE, WHICH THE CITY OWNS BACK ON THIS SIDE AND BACK HERE BEHIND THE BUILDING BELONGS TO THE CITY, BUT ALL OF IT'S RESERVED.
AND I'M WONDERING WHO IT IS THAT RESERVED ALL THIS.
I THINK IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAS TO DO BUSINESS DOWN HERE, CAN'T FIND A PLACE TO PARK.
I'M ONE OF THE, I COME DOWN HERE AND PAY MY LITTLE BILL ONCE A MONTH.
AND, AND I GOT OVER HERE AND THEN PARKED INTO PLACE WHERE HE'D SET UP TOURIST BUS.
AND I'VE BEEN SINCE 1980, AND I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THIS, BUT THE GOOD THING I WASN'T WAITING ON IT WASN'T, BUT I CAN'T, UH, CAN'T
[00:15:01]
SEE WHY THAT, UH, WE DON'T EMPTY THIS BUILDING OVER HERE THAT WE'RE PAYING THIS $35,000 A MONTH.I MEAN, A YEAR OR TWO, UH, MR. PRIDGEN TO RENT IT, TAKE THAT ORGANIZATION AND MOVE IT OUT THERE TO THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE WHERE YOU HAVE THE ELECTRICAL BUILDING WORK, THAT THING, WE OWN IT.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANY RENT ON IT AND PUT THE PEOPLE OUT THERE.
AND THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF SPACE AROUND THE EDGE OF THAT, BUT THERE'S ALL KINDS OF PARKING WE COULD CREATE OUT THERE.
AND, UH, AS I WAS TALKING TO MR. LEE THERE LATER, EARLIER, WE COULD EVEN PUT US UP A LITTLE THING OUT THERE AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A BANK.
YOU KNOW, WE, WE CAN HAVE A DRIVE IN TELLER FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HANDICAP DRIVE HER CAR UP, HER, THROW THE ELECTRICAL WHEEL THROUGH THE WIND AND DRIVE ON HOME.
NOW, THIS IS KIND OF THE ENGINEERING.
IF I DIDN'T COME DOWN AND HELP YOU GUYS ENGINEERS PLACE, AND THEY WOULD GET STRAIGHT THERE.
AND, UH, ANOTHER ONE THAT I HAD IN MY MIND THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT BILL, THAT I WAS COMING DOWN HERE TO PAY WHEN THEY, UH, PUT THE SEWER OVER IN, UH, AREA WHERE I LIVE OVER IN, UH, ELLARD AND ROAD AT KING ROAD, I WENT OUT THERE AND DISCONNECTED MY SEPTIC TANK AND PUT THIS THING ON A CITY SEWER.
WELL, WITHOUT A MISTAKE, MY SEWER BILL HAS TRIPLED SINCE IT PUT IT IN THERE.
I THINK IT'S BEEN ABOUT FIVE, SIX YEARS.
THE WATER BILL IS BASICALLY STOOD.
NOW I HAVE AN ACTIVE, WELL, I HAVE AN, I HAVE A SEPTIC TANK IN THE BACKYARD.
THEY WORK WELL WHEN YOU'RE THERE.
NOW, ARE YOU PEOPLE FORCING US TO TURN THIS THING AWAY FROM THE CITY SEWER HOOK, BACK TO THESE SEPTIC TANKS? YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'VE NOT BEEN OUT LOUD, YOU CAN STILL USE THEM.
AND THE ONLY THING OF IT IS IT'S GOT TO BE OPERATIONAL, WHICH IT IS.
AND WHEN A SEWER WAS PUT IN MINE, I KEPT MINE OFF TO MAKE SURE IN CASE IT, YOU GUYS GOT EXCITED ABOUT WHERE HE WAS GOING WITH THE SEWER SYSTEM.
I COULD TURN BACK TO THE SEPTIC TANK AND, UH, I DON'T MIND PAYING A BILL, BUT NOW WHEN WE GOT DOWN HERE, UH, ABOUT, SAY ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, AND, UH, YOU WERE XANAX IN, UH, DICTIONARY OVER IN JAMES CITY FOR WEYERHAEUSER.
THAT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT I MENTIONED.
AND I'M SURE YOU GUYS REMEMBER ME COMING DOWN HERE AND MENTIONED JUST LITTLE DETAILED THAT WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT.
AND I JUST LOOKED AT MY BILL AND I FOUND OUT WHO WEYERHAEUSER IT WAS.
OR NOW THAT WE'RE, WE'VE GOT A BOND ISSUE TO BUILD A THREE OR FOUR WATER TANKS AND HOOK THIS PLACE UP THERE.
NOW AT WEYERHAEUSER, CAN'T PAY FOR THIS.
I WOULD SAY, LEAVE THEM OVER THERE ON 43.
AND, UH, THE CITY OF NEWBURN STAY ON THIS SIDE OF THE RIVER AND LET THEM FIGHT THEIR OWN BATTLES.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S LIKE THE AIRCRAFT THING.
IF THEY WERE TRYING TO GO TO WASHINGTON AND FIGHT FOR IT, TO GET THAT HUNDRED AND 60 F EIGHTEENS DOWN HERE.
AND I WAS ONE OF THE GUYS THAT WAS WORKING WITH VIRGINIA HEART, BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN SEE THAT I'M GOING TO GET OUT OF THAT AIRPLANE IS MORE TAX MONEY, EVERYTHING TO BUILD SEWER, WATER AND EVERYTHING, AND ONLY MONEY IT'S GOING TO BE MADE IN THERE.
THE REAL ESTATE AGENT IN THE BUSINESS PEOPLE.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO GET A THING OUT OF IT, BUT A BUNCH OF NOISE.
CAUSE I KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF UPSET, REAL ESTATE AGENT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT IN ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP VIRGINIA, AND I'LL TAKE MY CAR AND RIDE AFTER HER AND GIVE HIM A FEW WORDS, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU PEOPLE SHOULD GET SUPPORTED IN THIS THING.
I THINK YOU NEED TO CHECK THE PEOPLE THAT ARE PAYING THE BILLS AND I'M LIKE, YES.
AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY WANT, NOT WHAT THE BUSINESS PEOPLE THERE.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO TELL THE CONSTITUENT AND EVERYBODY RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
LOOK, YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE PEOPLE WHO'S PAYING THE BILL.
YOU HELP ONE BUSINESS PERSON AND YOU LOSE A HUNDRED VISITORS.
SO THIS IS THE WAY WE'RE LOOKING AT IT.
AND THEN A LADY DIDN'T TELL HIM, LET ME SAY THIS.
AND I WON'T BE BACK ON YOUR DESK ANYMORE FOR SIX MONTHS, BUT YOU CAN BET ONE THING, IF THIS STUFF KEEPS GOING ON, WE'RE GOING TO BE IN CERTAIN, SOME TERM LIMITS.
I THINK, OKAY, ANYBODY ELSE? OH, I'M NEAR RAMBO.
I GUESS I'M A SITTER RATHER THAN
[00:20:01]
I'M BEING TREATED LIKE AN OUTSIDER.UH, I'M HERE TONIGHT, UH, TO PROTEST THE POC AND TICKET THAT I RECEIVED ON THURSDAY MAY THE FOURTH, BUT BEING PARKED IN THE SPACE RESERVE OR TWO BUSES ONLY WHENEVER I HAVE TO COME DOWN HERE TO PAY MY UTILITIES BILL, I CAN NEVER FIND A PARKING SPACE BECAUSE THE CITY OCCUPIES ALL THESE SPACES IN AND AROUND THIS MUNICIPALITY, INCLUDING THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET NEXT TO THE SUN JUROR BUILDING AND BEHIND THE DUNG BUILDING, WHICH ONLY ALLOWS TWO OR THREE PARKING SPACES FOR THE HANDICAP AND NON FOR THE CITIZENS.
WHILE THESE TWO SPACES NEXT TO THE DUNNVILLE ARE RESERVED FOR TOURISTS BUSES.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE DEAL WHENEVER I'M IN THIS AREA.
AND SINCE THIS IS A BUILDING THAT MANY DEPARTMENTS WERE TRANSFER TO A CRIMINAL MINUTE DEPARTMENTS WERE TRANSFERRED TO PERMANENT RESIDENTS SHOULD BE GIVEN CONSIDERATION.
AND AS MUCH AS THOSE OF US ON FIXED INCOMES HAVE TO PAY OUR BILLS ON THE FIRST OR THIRD DAY OF THE MONTH, MAINLY A SENIOR CITIZEN.
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN TICKETED FOR PARKING NEAR THIS MUNICIPALITY TWICE FOR PARKING AND THE METER, THE METERS EXPIRED WHILE I WAS INSIDE DISCUSSING SOME MATTERS WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND THE NEXT TIME, UH, AND ALSO THE NEXT TIME WHEN I HAD TO GO ACROSS THE STREET AND PAID OUR BILL FOR A RELATIVE WHO, WHO WAS HANDICAPPED, THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS.
EACH TIME I PAID THE TICKET ON THE PROTEST AS I'M DOING HERE TONIGHT, IT SEEMS THAT THIS CITY GOVERNMENT IS MORE CONCERNED FOR THE TOURISTS THAT VISIT HERE.
THEN THEY OFFER THOSE OF US WHO ARE STRUGGLING FROM DAY TO DAY TO SURVIVE IN THIS SYSTEM.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THOSE TWO SIGNS SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THAT SPICE AND PLACED ELSEWHERE.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF SPACES WHERE THESE BUSES CAN LOAD AND UNLOAD.
WHEN THE VISITORS COME HERE ON A TWO WEEK, ALSO THESE, THOSE MEALS THERE ONLY ALLOW 10 OR 12 MINUTES.
PAUL SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM IN FRONT OF THIS BUILDING.
AND THAT SPACE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH OTHER REGULAR REGULAR REGULATIONS SPECIFYING HOW LONG AND MOTORISTS CAN PARK THERE.
UH, THESE WOULD BE RESPIRATORY SIGNS AS SEEN IN AND AROUND THE BUSINESS DISTRICT ACCEPTED.
AND AS FAR AS THE $5 GOING FOR SCHOOLS, I WAS IN IT BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF MY MONEY GOING THROUGH TAXES AND TICKETS FROM YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO SUPPORT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT CANNOT, CANNOT, CANNOT SEEM TO CONTROL THEIR CAMPUSES IN CLASSROOMS. YOU HAVE JUVENILE DELINQUENTS, TERRORIZING CHILDREN AND THREATENING STUDENTS THAT WANT TO LEARN AND ARE AFRAID TO GO TO SCHOOL.
YOU HAVE BEEN THOSE INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.
NO, I AM UPSET AND I RESENTED.
AND AS FAR AS THE POLICE CLERK, THAT WAS GIVEN OFF THE TICKET, HAVING TO ANSWER TO HIS SUPERIORS, THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE AS HE STATED ON TOWN SELL ON LAST FRIDAY AND IN THE SUN JOURNAL OR YESTERDAY OR SUNDAY, WHENEVER, UH, THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO ANSWER TO HIS SUPERIORS, BUT YOU OFFICIALS HAVE TO ANSWER TO THOSE OF US WHO HAVE NO PLACE TO PARK.
WHEN WE HAVE TO COME DOWN TO PAY ALL BILLS, PAY ALL THE TAXES AND WE ALL PAY ALL THE TAXES THAT WE ALL SAYS FOR ANY OTHER MATTER, THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO IN OTHER CITY OF DEPAUL IN THE DUNNVILLE.
I HOPE THIS IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
AND I'D LIKE COMMENTS ON THIS.
NO, I, YOU KNOW, IN ALL CANADA, I BELIEVE MS. RANDOLPH AND FRANK BAM, THEY BOTH HAVE A POINT AND YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY RARE, BUT I SEE A BUS PARK AND THERE WAS PARKING SPACES NOR RESERVED FOR, TO HAVE BUSES.
AND I THINK WE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE, UH, THE LOCAL PUBLIC MORE SO THAN A TOURIST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE A TOUR BUS COME ONCE A MONTH ON THE AVERAGE, AND, BUT YET NOBODY CAN PARK NEAR DURING BUSINESS HOURS WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
YOU KNOW, I THINK WHEN YOU WEIGHT THE PUBLIC VERSUS THE TOURIST BUSINESS, WE WERE GROSSLY WILL GROSS THE INCONVENIENCE AND THE PUBLIC JUST FOR THE RARE OCCASION, WHEN A TOUR
[00:25:01]
BUS WOULD BE PARKED THERE.AND I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS CONTACT THE CHOGM PALACE OF FOLKS AND TRY TO WORK OUT AN ARRANGEMENT WHEREBY THEY WILL NOTIFY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN A TOURIST COMING THERE AND MAYBE THEY CAN PUT A POOR BESIDES SAYING NO PARKING, YOU KNOW, DURING THAT TIMEFRAME.
BUT I THINK IT'S JUST, UM, IT'S NOT FAIR TO 'EM TO INCONVENIENCE THE PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, FOR THE RARE OCCASIONS, WHEN A BUS, THE TOUR BUS WILL BE USED IN THAT SPACE.
AND WE NEED TO TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THE PUBLIC WHEN THEY'RE DOWN HERE TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR BUSINESS.
DANNY, HOW OFTEN DOES IT, THE TOUR BUS COME HERE? I DON'T KNOW THAT THE THREE
I WOULD BRING ONE INTO HIS TALKING NOW HIM, DONALD, YOU KNOW WHERE THE TWO BUS COME FROM? I'VE NEVER IN MY LIFE SEEN ONE.
AND, AND TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ABOUT THE PARKING TICKETS, I THINK THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD SCHEDULE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PARKING TICKETS WE TALKED ABOUT.
YOU MENTIONED, UM, THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING DOWN IN THE AREA.
IT SEEMS TO BE MORE NAPPY THAN IT HAD BEEN IN THE PAST.
AND MAYBE WE NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT OUR SITUATION AS IF WE GUYS I'M NOT SAYING IT TONIGHT TO CHANGE ANYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MOTIVATES FOLKS TO DO WHAT THEY DO.
WOULD A, HAVE YOU KNOWN SAT BACK THAT WENT TO
HEY,
PEOPLE WANT TO CITIZENS WANT TO COME DOWN HERE, PARKING AND WALK THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT ISSUE, THOSE ROOMS SHOULD BE MORE RELAXED.
YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY'RE NOT A LOT OF BUSINESSES OPEN IT'S, THAT'S AN OPINION, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE A SCHEDULE DISCUSSION IN REGARDS TO THAT.
ONCE AGAIN, NOW TICKETS FOR PARKING SPACES ON SATURDAY, YOU CALL YOUR ORDINANCE SAYS WE NEED TO CHANGE YOUR FREE PARKING THE WEEKENDS.
I THINK YOU OUGHT TO HAVE FREE PARKING ON THE WEEKENDS FOR THE MERCHANTS, BUT ANYWAY, WE'LL DEAL WITH IT.
NOW THERE'S A TIME TO MAKE SOME MONEY.
THERE IS A, THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM IN DOWNTOWN NEWBURN DURING THE WEEK WITH MERCHANTS WHO TAKE UP THE PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF THEIR STORES.
IT'S THE OLD J CUT OFF THEIR NOSE TO SPITE THEIR FACE 10 YEARS AGO.
I REMEMBER 10, 12, 12 YEARS AGO.
I REMEMBER SHOOTING VIDEO TAPE FOR CHANNEL SEVEN ON THE STREETS OF NEWBURN DURING THE WEEK WHEN THERE WOULD BE TWO CARS PARKED IN A BLOCK AND THEY WERE CRYING THE BLUES BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BUSINESS.
THE BUSINESS HAD GONE TO THE SHOPPING CENTERS.
AND IF YOU ASK THE PEOPLE AT THE SHOPPING CENTERS, WHY THEY GO THERE, IT'S PARKING, NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND A PARKING PLACE IN DOWNTOWN NEWBURN JUST ABOUT KILLED DOWNTOWN NEWBURGH.
NOW IT IS DIFFICULT SOMETIMES TO FIND A PARKING SPACE.
I THINK THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY EXAGGERATED BECAUSE I'VE NEVER BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A PARKING SPACE, SOMETIMES NOT IN FRONT OF THE STORE.
I WANTED TO GO TO, BUT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND PARKING SPACES, BUT I THINK THE MERCHANTS DOWNTOWN NEWBURN NEED TO WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY AND THEIR EMPLOYEES TAKING UP THE PARKING SPACES IS GOING TO HURT THEM AS IT DID ONE TIME BEFORE I SAT ONE DAY AT AN OFFICE HERE IN NEWBURN AND WATCHED A LOCAL MERCHANT MOVE HIS CAR THREE TIMES FROM ONE PARKING SPACE
[00:30:01]
TO ANOTHER, TO AVOID GETTING A TICKET WHEN THE TWO HOUR LIMIT EXPIRED AND THAT'S GOING ON A LOT OF PLACES, I COULD NAME ANOTHER MERCHANT WHO PARKS EVERY MORNING, RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS PARKING, RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS STORE.BUT SINCE THE PARKING ORDINANCE HAS BEEN ENFORCED AND THAT'S ALL THAT YOUNG MAN IS DOING IS ENFORCING THE ORDINANCE.
BUT SINCE HE HAS BEEN DOING THAT, THIS PARTICULAR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSMAN KNOWS HE CANNOT PARK RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS BUSINESS EVERY DAY.
SO HE PARKED IN A LOADING ZONE AND LEAVES HIS VEHICLE THERE ALL DAY.
THERE'S NOTHING REALLY WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
EXCEPT WARN THEM THAT IF, IF THEY DON'T LEARN FROM THE HISTORY OF THE PAST, THAT HISTORY IS GOING TO COME BACK TO HONG KONG.
IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE MALLS.
YOU'RE GOING TO START LOSING SOME OF THE TRAFFIC YOU HAVE MANAGED TO ATTRACT BACK TO DOWNTOWN NEWBURGH.
AS FAR AS THE RESERVED PARKING SPACES ARE CONCERNED, THE CITY HAS SOME RESERVED PARKING SPACES ON THE PROPERTY.
IT OWNS ACROSS THE STREET WHERE THOSE CITY EMPLOYEES LIKE INSPECTORS, ET CETERA, WHO ARE IN AND OUT OF CITY HALL FREQUENTLY DURING THE DAY, THEY HAVE TO COME IN AND PICK UP PAPERWORK, LEAVE AGAIN.
AND THIS IS WHY THEY HAVE THOSE PARKING SPACES.
MOST OF THOSE PARKING SPACES ARE PEOPLE WHO PAY A MONTHLY RENT FOR THOSE SPACES.
AND ANY ONE OF YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WISH TO RENT ONE OF THOSE SPACES CAN DO THE SAME THING.
BUT THESE ARE MERCHANTS AND BUSINESS PEOPLE IN DOWNTOWN NEWBURGH WHO DO PAY A FEE FOR THAT PRIVILEGE.
THE ONES THE CITY USES ARE FOR EMPLOYEES, WHOSE JOB REQUIRES THEM TO BE IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING FAIRLY OFTEN DURING THE DAY.
SO THOSE ARE JUST SOME THOUGHTS I WANTED TO GET OFF MY CHEST.
IT BOTHERS ME TO SEE PEOPLE WHO CANNOT PARK A VOLKSWAGEN AND A SPACE BIG ENOUGH FOR CADILLAC TOO.
SO THAT TICKLES ME TO DEATH TO SEE THAT YOUNG MAN GIVE SOMEBODY A TICKET WHEN THEY PARKED IN THE CENTER WITH THE CENTER OF THE WHITE LINE, RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THEIR CAR AND PICK UP TWO SPACES.
SO MORE POWER TO HIM IN THAT RESPECT.
BUT I THINK THE MERCHANTS NEED TO TAKE NOTICE OF THE FACT THAT THEY DROVE MERCHANTS OUT OF DOWNTOWN NEWBURN ONE TIME BEFORE, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PARK.
AND THEY'RE BEGINNING TO DO IT AGAIN.
AS THE PUBLIC AWARE THAT WE HAVE A PARKING LOT OVER BY THE OLD POST OFFICE.
I KNOW THAT THE PUBLIC GOES TO THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OVER THERE WHEREVER, BUT I'M NOT SURE.
I DON'T THINK THAT I WASN'T REALLY AWARE OF IT.
NO ONE WANTS TO WIRE AND JUST KIND OF REMIND PEOPLE THAT THERE IS ANOTHER PLACE TO PARK.
I THINK THEY'RE TRYING PALACE.
WHEN THEY GO THERE, THEY ADVISE THEM THAT THERE IS PARKING OVER THERE.
WHEN VISITORS COME IN THERE, YOU CAN PUT A SIGN UP, SAY TOUR, BUS PARKING OVER THERE.
I AGREE WITH GETTING RID OF THE TOUR BUS SPACES BECAUSE I'VE SEEN, I'VE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE OTHER THAN SOMEONE'S CAR PARKED IN THOSE SPACES.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A TOUR BUS PARKED THERE.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? MY NAME IS THURSDAY COOK.
I WAS NOT THE ONE CHOSEN TO REPRESENT SOUTH GATE, BUT, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REST OF THE PEOPLE.
AND SO SINCE I CAME AND RATHER THAN A WASTE OF TIME, I DECIDED THAT I WOULD BRING OUT GRIEVANCES.
UH, WE HAD THREE, UH, MAIN ONES LAST NIGHT WHEN WE HAD OUR MEETING AND ONE WAS FINDING SOME PLACE FOR THE CHILDREN TO PLAY THIS SUMMER.
THEY PLAY IN THE STREET OR THEY PLAY AT PEOPLE'S YARDS AND WHATEVER.
AND THAT IS REALLY NOT RIGHT BECAUSE I MET THE CHILDREN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAY IN MY YARD, THE FALL AND WINTER, BUT NOW I WANT MY GRASS TO GROW.
SO I TOLD THEM THAT THEY COULDN'T PLAY THERE ANYMORE.
SO I NOTICED THEY'RE PLAYING IN THE STREET AND THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING EITHER.
THERE IS A EMPTY LOT AT THE DEAD END OF MONROE MADISON, THE FIRST STREET YOU COME TO WHEN YOU COME INTO SOUTH GATE, THAT IF YOU COME IN AND YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT, ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE, IT'S AN EMPTY BLOCK.
WE DON'T KNOW WHO OWNS THE LIE OR WHAT IT'S BEING USEFUL, BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO BE JUST A WASTED SPACE RIGHT NOW.
AND WE THOUGHT MAYBE THAT WE WOULD ASK TO FIND OUT WHO OWNS IT AND WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT MAKING A LITTLE PLAYGROUND OR SOMETHING, ANYTHING TO GET THE CHILDREN OFF THE STREET AND SCHOOL WILL BE OUT IN ANOTHER TWO WEEKS AND THEY NEED SOME PLACE TO GO.
OUR OTHER GRIEVANCE WAS, UH, THE LIGHTING.
UH, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH LIGHTING ON THE STREETS AND, UH, SOME OF THE STREETS LIKE PITCH BLACK, YOU KNOW, AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN AND THEY'RE CONCERNED, MOST OF THE, UH, CITIZENS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIGHTING.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING WAS THE DITCHES.
NOW SOMEONE CAME OUT AND STARTED TO WORK ON THE FIRST STREET IN, UH, IN SOUTH BAY.
AND THEY WORKED FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS
[00:35:01]
OR SO.THEY HAD THEIR FOOD, BIG EQUIPMENT THERE AND EVERYTHING.
AND THEN THEY WENT AWAY AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM SINCE.
SO IF, UH, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE DITCH, ALL THE STREETS HAVE DITCHES AND THEY NEED TO BE CLEANED OUT OR BLOWN OUT OR SOMETHING.
SO THE WATER WILL FLOW THROUGH BECAUSE NOW THAT IT'S GETTING TO BE WARM OR HOT SOON, UH, MOSQUITOES WILL BE, YOU KNOW, ACCUMULATING.
AND THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR ANY, UH, OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE.
AND THERE MIGHT'VE BEEN OTHER GRIEVANCES, BUT THOSE WERE THE THREE MAIN ONES THAT WE DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT, CORRESPONDENT.
I WAS GOING TO ASK THEM, DO YOU KNOW, WHO'S LYING, WHO'S LOCKED THERE.
HAVE WE EVER CLEANED IT OFF? MA'AM MA'AM CAN I GET YOUR NAME AGAIN PLEASE? MS. COOK, MS. COOK.
I JUST WANT TO RESPOND TO, UH, YOUR THREE GRIEVANCES ONE AT A TIME.
UH, THE FIRST ONE WAS REGARDING PLACE FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY.
AND, UH, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE COMING DOWN HERE, BUT I'M GLAD YOU DID.
I THOUGHT WE WERE UNDER THE ATTENDANCE.
WELL, YOU REALLY WEREN'T ON THE AGENDA, BUT I'M GLAD YOU CAME DOWN.
ANYBODY CAN REALLY COME DOWN HERE AND REQUEST ANYTHING FROM THE CITY, BUT, UH, I'M GLAD YOU CAME DOWN HERE.
NUMBER ONE, BECAUSE YOU CAME DOWN HERE UNANNOUNCED AND I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO COME DOWN HERE, BUT YOU BROUGHT UP SOME, SOMETHING THAT I HAVE REALLY BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND THAT IS MORE RECREATION FOR CHILDREN IN THE CITY LIMITS.
AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT'S THAT'S ALL OVER THE CITY IS THAT OUR RECREATION PROGRAM IS REALLY NOT RESPONDING TO THE NEEDS OF CITY CHILDREN IN WHAT, WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST IS WE HAVE TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN ALL OVER THE COUNTY, BUT SEE THAT'S MISFOCUSED BECAUSE YOUR TAX DOLLARS SHOULDN'T BE SPENT TO PAY FOR THE RECREATIONAL NEEDS OF CHILDREN OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN THE CITY, IF YOU LIVE IN ANOTHER CITY, THAT'S CLOSE TO US, THAT'S UP TO YOUR CITY FATHERS TO SET ASIDE SOME MONEY FOR PLAYGROUND RECREATION IN A LIGHT.
AND, UH, I THINK THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD RECOGNIZED THAT OUR RECREATION DEPARTMENT DOES NEED TO BE OVERHAULED.
AND WE ARE GOING TO, I THINK SATURDAY, I WAS TOLD THAT, THAT THEY VOTED TO APPROPRIATE SOME MONEY TO DO A STUDY, TO, UH, FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE RECREATION RECREATION CENTER IN NEWBURN, AND TO DEVELOP PROGRAMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON THE CHILDREN IN THE CITY LIMITS.
SO YOU WON'T SEE ANY IMMEDIATE RESULTS.
HOWEVER, I CAN, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU BY NEXT SUMMER, YOU WILL.
AND HOPEFULLY BEFORE NEXT SUMMER WE'LL HAVE A SWIMMING POOL.
BUT ANYWAY, YOU WILL SEE A CHANGE IN THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT SOON, BECAUSE AGAIN, WE NEED TO GET THEM OFF THE STREET.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH DELINQUENCY IN CRAVEN COUNTY COMES FROM CHILDREN IN NEWBURN.
AND THE REASON WHY THE CHILDREN IN NEW BERN ARE SO DELINQUENT IS THAT WE ARE PARTLY TO BLAME.
NO, WE'RE KEEPING EVERYBODY ELSE, CHILDREN BUSY, BUT OUR HOME, AND THAT'S NOT FAIR TO US.
NO YOU'RE PAYING TAXES, BUT NOTHING IN THAT REGARD.
AND I HOPE THAT WE WILL GO FULL STEAM AHEAD AND TRYING TO BE BAPTIST RECREATION PROGRAM TO FOCUS ON OUR YOUTH EXCLUSIVELY.
AND IF WE GOT ANYTHING LEFT OVER, THEN IF WE DECIDE WE WANT TO GIVE IT AWAY, FINE, WHAT ELSE HAVE WE DECIDED? WE WANTED TO WORK, CUT THINGS AND SAVE TAX DOLLARS.
BUT THE RECREATIONAL PROGRAM FOR THE CITY IS FOR NEWBURN RESIDENTS, NOT FOR THE WHOLE COUNTY.
AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE, UH, YOU KNOW, A BIG ELABORATE PLAYGROUND, JUST A PLACE THAT'S EITHER FENCED IN OR THAT THEY KNOW THAT THEY CAN GO THERE TO PLAY.
WELL, SEE, MY THEORY IS THAT THE REASON WHY WE CAN'T DO MORE IS BECAUSE WE'RE DOING SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY, BUT IN THE PROCESS, WE'RE HURTING OUR OWN FOLKS AND THAT'S, THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
BUT ANYWAY, SO THAT'S BEING WORKED ON YOUR NUMBER ONE CONCERNS, YOUR NUMBER TWO CONCERN IS THE LIGHTING.
AND, UH, I WENT TO, UM, MR. PUCKETT REGARDING THE LIGHT, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAD ABOUT FOUR.
THEY HAD SOME LIGHTS PUT UP THERE, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME TREES WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TRIM AROUND SOME EXISTING LIGHTING IN ORDER TO, UH, MAKE THE STREET MORE LUMINOUS.
BUT MR. METALS CAN FILL YOU IN ON THE LIGHTING.
AND AS WELL AS THE DITCHES, DADDY, COULD YOU, UH, RESPOND BASICALLY ON
[00:40:01]
THE STREET RATHER THAN OUT OF JAIL? AGAIN, WE NOW HAVE STREET BY AND THERE WERE, OR EVEN MORE WE HAD OUT THERE AND WE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE WELL DONE THIS WEEK.WE CAN LOOK DOWN AND SEE ONE DAY
WELL, SOMEONE DID SAY THAT THE PEOPLE THAT COME BY, THEY COME IN A DAYTIME, THEY NEED TO COME AT NIGHT.
SO THEY GET
AND I'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION MANY TIMES, THERE ARE
AND ARE YOU GOING TO CHECK IN THAT LOCK? YEAH.
AND WE'LL, WE'LL CHECK THAT LINE AND SEE IF THERE'S NOT SOME WAY WE CAN GET, UH, THE USE OF THAT MONEY.
MAYBE WE CAN PUT SOME PLAYGROUND.
WHEN WE LEAVE HERE, I'LL BE NICE AND DARK.
AND I'LL TAKE A LOOK FROM IRELAND AND WE HAVEN'T HAD TO CUT THAT LOT THEN MS. COOK, DO YOU KNOW WHO MAINTAINS THAT LINE? BUT IT IS KEPT CUT.
NO, I WAS, I WAS THINKING TOO, THAT IT SEEMS TO BE WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
CAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'VE HAD REPRESENTATIVES FROM SMALL NAVY, FROM NEIGHBORHOODS TO COME AND EXPRESS AN INTEREST IN HAVING NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYGROUND.
CAUSE YOU KNOW, I BE TALKING ABOUT THAT IN VARIOUS COMMUNITIES AND NOWADAYS, YOU KNOW, IS PEOPLE KIND OF SKEPTICAL ABOUT LETTING THEIR CHILDREN GET TOO FAR AWAY FROM HOME? WHAT A PLAYGROUND AT THE END OF THE STREET OR SOMEWHERE NEAR SOMEONE, THEY KNOW THEY FEEL A BIT MORE COMFORTABLE ABOUT THAT.
WHEN I WAS READING THE NEWSPAPER, IT WAS SORT OF HARDENING TO THINK OF A CHILD PLAYING ON THEIR, WENT TO SCHOOL AND NOW IT'S DEAD.
AND SO THESE KINDS OF THINGS HAPPEN A LOT IN THE SUMMER WHERE CHILDREN HAVE BICYCLES ARE ACCIDENTS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE STREET AND THAT'S THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY.
SO MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, NOT SOME NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE MIGHT, UM, THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED INTO LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYGROUND.
SO WE'RE REFOCUSING, YOU KNOW, OUR EMPHASIS IS NOT NECESSARILY ON BIG AND LARGE, UH, PLAYGROUNDS OF FACILITIES, BUT FACILITIES WHERE PARENTS CAN GET MORE INVOLVED IN MONITORING THE PLAYER CHILDREN.
SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY GREAT.
IF YOU COULD FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, WHO OWNS THESE PROPERTIES IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO ACQUIRE THE ONES THAT WE DON'T HAVE A, WE HAVE PROPERTIES IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS.
DO YOU THINK THAT, UH, THE, THE CITY'S BASICALLY DIVIDED UP INTO QUOTE UNQUOTE NEIGHBORHOODS? I MEAN, YOU GOT IT AND YOU GOT THIS ONE AND THAT ONE, AND THEN WE MIGHT BE GOOD IF WE JUST ENUMERATED THEM AND JUST HAD SOMEBODY TO TAKE A LOOK IN EACH AREA TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY PROPERTY OR WHATEVER.
CAUSE I AGREE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD PLAY YARD AS MUCH ABOUT IT FOR A LOT OF REASONS.
YOU KNOW, MR. MAYOR HAD ASKED ABOUT A YEAR AGO THAT, UH, THE LOTS THAT THE CITY OWNS THE INVENTORY AND LISTED TO DETERMINE WHICH ONES COULD BE USED FOR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT, WHICH ONES TO SIT HE NEEDED, WHICH ONES COULD BE SOLD.
I ASSUME EVERYONE WAS GIVEN A COPY OF THAT LIST.
I KNOW I RECEIVED A COPY OF IT.
I THINK THEY WERE THEM IN THEIR ATTENDANCE.
ISN'T THAT THE ONE THAT A LOT OF THEM, THEY WERE LIKE FIVE FEET WIDE.
AND IN OTHER WORDS, THERE'S OTHER ONES, THE OBJECT WAS TO GET RID OF THE LITTLE TINY PIECES OF LAND, WHICH WE HAD NO USE SELL THEM OR WHATEVER TO THE NEIGHBORS ON EITHER SIDE.
BUT THE ONES THAT WERE BIG ENOUGH
[00:45:01]
FOR CITY USE TO DETERMINE WHAT USE COULD BE MADE ON THEM, OR IF SOMEONE WANTED TO BUILD A HOUSEHOLD, BUT THAT THE CITY DID NOT NEED TO JUST OWN VACANT PROPERTY.AND I ASKED THAT, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS BE MADE AND THAT WAS THE END OF IT.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO PULL THAT LIST AGAIN.
I THINK WE NEED TO PULL THAT LIST.
AGAIN, THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY OURS, BUT LIKELY SAID THE END OF THE MEDICINE AREAS THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED INTO PLAYGROUNDS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYGROUNDS OR JUST THINGS THAT I THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING TOWARDS.
NOW, I ALSO GET AN IDEA OF ALL THESE NEIGHBORHOODS I HEAR THEY'RE CALLING ME AND I'M SURE THEY'RE CALLING ON THEM AND SAYING, ESPECIALLY NOW AS WE ANTICIPATE SUMMER THAT WE'D LIKE OUR KIDS CLOSER.
SO WELL, SOMEBODY MIGHT LET US USE IT THROUGH A PLAYGROUND.
IF WE MAINTAIN IT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY THAT HAS THE EXPENSIVE, SOME LOCKS AND HE'S GOT TO KEEP MOVING AND ALL THIS KIND OF STUFF.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LEGALITIES ARE.
ANYWAY, WE CAN CHECK INTO THAT.
ANYBODY ELSE? I'M JOHN SOUNDS AT 10 38 NORTH STREET, PROGENITOR CONCERNED CITIZENS, NEWBORN KRAMER COUNTY, JUST MISSING THAT IT'S PLAYGROUND THEORY.
AND I WAS OUT HERE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AFTER PERFORMANCE TO CONTINUE TO PLAY GROUND.
AND I KNOW IT'S RIGHT OUT, NOT LONG AFTER THEY CLOSED IT DOWN AND IT WAS REALLY DONE A GREAT JOB.
AND I WAS SOME KIND OF UPSET, BUT I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, BUT PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY, YOU'RE ALWAYS RUNNING YOUR MOUTH, BUT I GOT REALLY UPSET AND I DIDN'T MAKE ONE SAY, WE DIDN'T KNOW IT'S CLOSED.
NOW I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PLAYGROUND.
WE HAD GONE UP THERE, HAD A GOOD CROWD GONE OUT IN THE SONG THAT THEY HAD HAD HAD IN THERE DURING THEIR FALLING ON RANDOM US.
IT WAS STILL PEOPLE GOING OUT THERE WITH A CUT.
THAT'S WHY IT WAS FALLING OUT.
I KNOW IT SHUT DOWN FOR A MONTH.
YOU PROBABLY TOLD HIM ABOUT THE PROGRAM THAT WAS BEING USED AT AND NOT THE ACTUAL PARK CLOSE PROGRAM SUPERVISOR PROGRAM.
THAT'S WHAT THAT LITTLE WAS CUT PROPERLY.
WELL, I'M SAYING I HAD COME DOWN AFTER
I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE
THAT'S WHY I CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
SO, SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TO THINK ABOUT AND THAT DELFIELD AREA WE'RE REALLY DOING A GREAT JOB UP THERE.
I CAME DOWN HERE SEVERAL TIMES, TALKING ABOUT HOT WATER.
REAL SWELL JOB WAS GOING, BOB UT HAD CAME BY.
THEY, WE HAD DIFFERENT PROJECT OUT THERE.
YOU MIGHT HAVE DUFFIELD OUT THERE.
BIG CROWD OF KIDS WITHOUT SENIOR CITIZENS AND EVERYBODY.
AND I THINK THERE WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO BEGAN TRYING TO GET THAT PROGRAM STARTED.
ALSO RAW SCHOOL WILL BE OUT IN TWO WEEKS.
I KNOW WE NEED SOMEBODY FOR THE KIDS TO GO.
AND DEPAUL WAS ALREADY
WAS SAYING IT REALLY DID THE WHOLE PROGRAM IN THE CITY.
THE NEWBORNS, REALLY NOT RICHARD, THE PEOPLE AT EXPOSING A LOT OF THINGS THAT COULD BE DOING IS NOT DOING IT.
I THINK THIS IS BECAUSE APPROPRIATIONS AND NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE WORKING THERE.
AND I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT WE ABOUT TO GET A SWIMMING POOL.
WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING THE BET ABOUT 20 YEARS AND I HOPE IS BECOMING PRETTY SOON BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT BECAUSE KIDS GONE TO SWIM.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A SWIMMING POOL.
NO, AND WE DON'T WANT ANYONE GETTING DROWNED, BUT I JUST HOPE THAT WE WILL REVAMP OUR RECREATION PROGRAM AND BEGIN TO DO GREATER THINGS IN THE CITY OF NEW BRIAN TO GET THE KIDS THAT WOULD BE OCCUPIED, GETTING THEM OUT OF FIVE.
SO THEY WON'T BE ON THE STREET CORNER TRYING TO RIDE A BICYCLE.
HIS FATHER BEGAN TO APPROPRIATE SOME MONEY THAT WE CAN TAKE CARE OF ALL REPARATION NEED HERE IN THE CITY.
IT'S SAD TO SAY THAT WE HAVE TO PAY KIND OF TAXES ACID.
IN FACT, WE DON'T GET NO SERVICE LOSS FROM THE COUNTY.
AND IF WE CAN'T DEPEND ON
JOHNNY, WHAT ROBERT MADE REFERENCE TO, UH, FOR THIS PAST SATURDAY.
AND SOME OF US SPENT THE DAY IN A BUDGET WORKSHOP, LOOKING AT AREAS OF INTEREST.
AND WE VOTED TO PUT MONEY INTO THE BUDGET TO SURVEY EVERY RECREATION FACILITY IN THE CITY OF NEWBURN TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE, TO FIND OUT WHERE
[00:50:01]
NEW NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE DEVELOPED.SINCE THE LAST RECREATION PLAN WAS DEVELOPED, WHICH WAS 19 74, 74, 64.
BUT WE, WE APPROVED PUTTING MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO DO INTERVIEWS WITH PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS TO SURVEY THE CITY, TO SEE WHAT NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE DEVELOPED LIKE 1964 SOUTH GATE LITERALLY DIDN'T EXIST.
A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT NOW DIDN'T EXIST, THEN, UH, THAT WILL BE DONE.
THAT MONEY IS BEING PUT INTO THE BUDGET BY THE ACTION WE TOOK THIS WEEKEND.
AND FROM AN A NEW RECREATION DEVELOPMENT PLAN WILL BE MADE RECREATION FACILITIES IN THE FUTURE WILL BE BUILT IN NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE IN THE PAST.
THEY WILL BE APPROPRIATE TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
WHETHER THERE ARE A LOT OF CHILDREN OR A LOT OF SENIOR CITIZENS, ET CETERA, THAT'S THE ONLY SANE APPROACH IS TO DETERMINE WHO LIVES, WHERE, AND WHAT FACILITIES THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHAT FACILITIES THEY HAVE AND WHAT NEED TO BE ADDED THAT WAS APPROVED IN THE BUDGET WORKSHOP.
WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.
IT WOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE THE BEST IDEA TO JUST HELTER SKELTER, START SHOTGUN METHOD, FIRING OUT LITTLE RECREATION, CORNERS ALL THROUGH THE CITY UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT IS NEEDED, WHERE, BUT WHEN THAT PLAN IS FINISHED, THERE WILL BE A CHANGE.
THERE ARE AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF LITTLE PIECES OF PROPERTY MAINTAINED BY THE CITY AND IN NEIGHBORHOODS ALL THROUGH THE CITY THAT DO NOT HAVE RECREATION EQUIPMENT LIKE SWINGS FOR THE KIDS AND PICNIC TABLES AND THAT SORT OF THING.
THAT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT THE, UH, THAT THE STUDY WILL DETERMINE AND WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT IS NEEDED, WHERE, AND THAT WILL BE DONE.
YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT WAS A MAJOR TOPIC OF THAT BUDGET DISCUSSION.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I SAID I GOING TO TAKE HER.
SO I WANT TO RUN SOMETHING PAST WELL, WE'LL, WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT PART BECAUSE WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU'RE SAYING, WELL, THE PARK IS CLOSED AND WE'RE NOT AWARE OF ANY PARK BEING CLOSED, GO TO FACILITIES, NOT BEING OPERATIONAL.
THIS WAS A PLACE I'VE BEEN DUFFIELD SCHOOL.
WE HAD OUR OWN MONEY TO CARRY SOME WALK THROUGH A YEAR, SINCE YOU HAD SO MUCH PROBLEM OVER THERE IN THAT ERA AND THE KIDS WERE PLAYING RIGHT OUT, MAN, AROUND THE TIME THEY DIDN'T, THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT BEING TOLD.
I NOTICED THAT THE MAN HAD SAID AT ONE TIME ABOUT A ROW, THINKING ABOUT, CONTINUE TO KEEP THE RECREATION OLD RECORDS AND SELL THEM ALL BACK.
SO KEEP THE KIDS FROM OUT OF DISTRICT.
IF HE'S IN RECORDS THAT MAN AND I FALL DOWN AND STAY THERE ALL NIGHT, BECAUSE YOU HAD KIDS STAYING UP ABOUT ALL FOUR AND FIVE O'CLOCK YOU SEE PEOPLE SAW ALL INDUSTRY.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS OF FOOD COSTS.
THIS WILL HELP THE POLICE WITHOUT KIDS, RATHER THAN HAVE TO RUN THEM ALL UP AND DOWN THE STREET.
ESPECIALLY THAT PARTICULAR THING.
ANYBODY ELSE? I THINK YOU GOT KIDS OUT AT FOUR OR FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AROUND.
THEY NEED TO TALK TO THEIR PARENTS.
THE NIGHT
I HAVE TO CONTACT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY.
TELL THEM THE NEXT TIME I'LL TAKE CARE OF NOW, BUT THE NEXT TIME CONTACT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BECAUSE, BUT I'LL DO IT.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THEY SHUT DOWN A LOT OF LIGHTS IN THAT AREA, BUT I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR RIGHT MAN.
WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.
UH, I WANT TO PULL DOWN 12, 11, AND 12.
ANY DISCUSSION YOU MAY CALL THE ROLL ON EVERYTHING WITH LEMON AND 12.
NOW LET'S TAKE 12 AND FOUR 11.
[00:55:01]
DON'T WE GET 89, ALMOST $9,000.THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD YOU AT THE MEETING.
WHEN WE APPROVED THE COMPUTER PURCHASE, THAT THERE WAS, UH, UH, THE AMOUNT BUDGETED WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO TAKE CARE OF THE BID THAT WAS PROPOSED FOR THE TWO SYSTEMS. WHAT'D YOU WANT? WHICH ONE CAME OUT? EIGHTIES, BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER.
I DON'T KNOW THE BREAKDOWN OF WHICH HOW MUCH EACH ONE WAS.
AS I RECALL, THAT'S ALMOST A THIRD.
AND I THOUGHT I HAD THE SAME QUESTION.
AND I THOUGHT BEING AS THE BULK OF THIS WEALTH AT THIS POINT, THIS IS NOT THE GOAL, BUT I WAS THINKING THAT THIS WILL STILL BE CHARGED, PARTICULARLY UTILITY SYSTEMS. I'M GOING TO BE CHARGED DIRECTLY TO THE UTILITY OF THE PARK, NOT TO THE GENERAL FUND.
WELL, IT IS CHARGED TO THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT AND THE GENERAL FUND, BUT UTILITY DEPARTMENT PAYS THE GENERAL FUND FOR SERVICES THAT IT GETS, THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE SERVICES THAT PAYS FOR.
SO I'VE PUT MONEY IN A GENERAL FUND.
THAT REALLY SHOULDN'T BE THAT SHOULDN'T BE OVER ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT IS ELECTRIC MONEY.
SHOULD WE SPEND THE BULK OF THIS FOR YOUR ELECTRIC? WELL, THAT'S NOT MINE.
I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU, BUT THAT'S WHATEVER.
WELL, MY ATTITUDE TAKING IT OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND, COULD YOU NOT BE SAYING IN EFFECT AS PART OF THAT TRANSFER FROM THE LAST POOL DEPARTMENT, END OF THE GENERAL FUND, YOU JUST TOOK SOME OF IT BACK.
WHEN, UH, FOR SERVICES GIVEN TO THE ELECTRIC FUND, SPECIFIC CHARGES ARE MADE TO THE ELECTRIC FUND TO THE WATER FUND, TO THE SEWER FUND, TO, UH, PAY FOR THE SERVICES THAT THEY RECEIVE SUCH AS, UH, THAT PROCESSING IS ONE, IT IS DATA PROCESSING FOR THE WHOLE CITY, BUT IT SERVES THE, UH, ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND THE SEWER FUNDS, WHICH, UH, HAVE BENEFIT OF THAT SERVICE.
SO THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THAT OPERATION.
THE SAME THING IS TRUE OF ACCOUNTING.
UH, SEVERAL OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT, UH, HAVE TO HAVE THINGS THAT GO ON AND, UH, INTERACTION WITH THE VARIOUS, UH, UTILITY FUNDS.
THOSE FUNDS ARE CHARGED IS CALLED INTERDEPARTMENTAL CHARGES.
THEY'RE CHARGED FOR THEIR PORTION OF THAT OPERATION.
AND SO, BUT THOSE ACTIVITIES ARE RUN OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND, UH, FOR THE MOST PART.
AND THAT WAS SET UP GENERAL FUND ACTIVITIES ARE SET UP.
THEY USED TO BE A TIME WHEN YOU HAD A MULTITUDE OF FUNDS.
AND, UH, BACK IN 76, I, LAW WAS CHANGED TO ALLOW, UH, MANY OPERATIONS TO BE RUN OUT OF THE CENTRAL FUND, LIKE BAD AND TO BE REIMBURSED BY OTHER FUNDS.
AND SO IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR, UH, EVER SINCE THE LAW WAS PASSED TO ALLOW IT BECAUSE IT'S MUCH EASIER TO KEEP UP WITH WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING.
IF YOU CAN SEE IT ALL IN ONE PLACE AND JUST CHARGE THE INDIVIDUAL UNITS FOR WHATEVER USE THEY'RE MAKING OF IT.
WELL, THE PROBLEM I GOT IS WE GET INTO THE BULK OF THE BULK OF THE WORK IS BEING DONE IN ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT.
AND WE'RE HAVING TO TRANSPORT LINKS TO THE GENERAL SWAN AND PEOPLE IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC MISTAKE THAT FOR USING THE ELECTRIC FUND TO PAY FOR THE GENERAL FUND.
AND THAT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE BUILT.
AND I'M GOING TO DO A DEAL THAT THE GENERAL FUND PAY THE ELECTRIC GOING FORWARD.
WELL, THE BUDGET'S COMING IN, YOU CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT.
I WOULD SAY YES THAT YOU DO IT THIS WAY.
NOW, SINCE WE GOT THE WHOLE BUDGET SET UP IN ONE DIRECTION, WE WANT TO CHANGE THAT WHOLE BUDGET BACK TO DO THAT, AND WE CAN DO IT.
BUT I SUGGEST SINCE THERE WERE ONLY TWO MONTHS LEFT IN THIS BUDGET YEAR, LET'S LOOK AT IT BUDGET TIME, AND THEN YOU CAN DO THAT AS YOU CHOOSE.
AND I'M GOING TO BE LIKE, ROB, I JUST DON'T LIKE ALL THESE PURCHASES, WE KEEP DOING IT.
WE GOT THEM MORE THAN WE SHOULD PAY.
ANYTHING ELSE? ANY DISCUSSION YOU MAY CALL THE ROLL.
UNDER THE APPOINTMENTS WE GOT IT DONE.
I WOULD LIKE TO APPOINT ALBERT MALHEUR TO THE ELECTRIC BOARD, BARIATRIC SERVICES, MORE THAN FIRE AVAILABLE FOR MOUNTAIN POSE.
WELL, HE SHOWED HIS NOSE CAUSE HE JUST GOT IT.
HE DID THE PROFITABLE PAPERWORK.
[01:00:01]
NESTLE.DO YOU HAVE ANY ROCK? NO, SIR.
HOW ABOUT MISCELLANEOUS? NONE.
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT, AND NOW WE HAVE A VIEW FROM THE NOISE FROM THE CARS, THE LOUD CARS, AND I AM REALLY MUST BE THE SAME ONE IN THIS RAIN GOES ABOUT BEFORE.
AND I SPOKE WITH POLICEMEN ABOUT IT WHEN HE FIRST HAD THE COMPLAINT, BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING, AND THE REASON I'M BRINGING UP RECEIVING, CAUSE ANOTHER GENTLEMAN CALL ME TO REMIND ME OF IT.
UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK, I THINK IT HAPPENS ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND 10 30, CAUSE I STOPPED PAYING ATTENTION.
SO I WOULDN'T, I GOT OUT AND ROLLED AROUND IT.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS TOO LATE TO SEE IF IT'S MAYBE SOMEONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IT COULD SPEAK TO ABOUT IT, BUT IT IS JUST REALLY QUITE DISTURBING.
SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING ON ON ASHEVILLE STREET AND DOWN OAKS ROAD AS WELL.
SO I ASKED THE LIEUTENANT IF THEY WOULD MONITOR.
SO I WAS WONDERING WHAT WAS IT THAT WE DECIDED TO ABOUT LOUD VIDEOS AND CARS? IS THAT WHAT IT IS ACTUALLY THE CAR ON THE RADIO, YOUR RADIO MUSIC.
I THINK IT, IF WE REMEMBER A WEEK WE'D ALREADY DISCUSSED WHERE I THOUGHT THERE WAS A NOISE ORDINANCE AND THEN WE DISCUSSED THAT.
I THINK WHAT IT WAS, WE WOULD HAVE TO INSTRUCT THE CHIEF THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE A LITTLE MORE HARD ON GETTING THESE GUYS.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS IF I HEAR IT AND I CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, BY THE TIME POLICE DEPARTMENT GETS THEIR CARS GOING, THE MUSIC TURNED DOWN.
SO THE ONLY THING I WOULD SUGGEST WE GET BACK TO CHIEF AND HAVING THEM TO PATROL A BIT MORE.
AND IN THE CATCH-UP YOU GO AHEAD TO USE UNMARKED CAR, CAUSE SEE TWO BLOCKS AWAY.
I SEE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, I'M GOING TO TURN MY RADIO DOWN.
SO I THINK WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO REALLY NEED TO DO IS TO READ, LOOK AT THE NOISE ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE NOISE THAT WE REGULATE IT'S AFTER 11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
UH, SO MAKE YOUR BRIDE FROM THE CITY WITH LOUD RADIOS DURING THE DAY.
NOW WE HAVE NO ORDINANCE REGARDING, UH, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE PUT THAT ORDINANCE ALSO ON THE NEXT WORK SESSION WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT DISCUSSING WHAT WAS THE LAST ORDINANCE I'M TALKING ABOUT? LOOKING AT SHE HAD A PARKING TARGET.
IF YOU WOULD ADD THAT OR NO ONE HIGH SCHOOL, I USED TO GET A TICKET FOR MUFFINS BUT NOT THE RADIANT MUFFLES WILL NEVER AS LOUD AS IT WAS RADIO
I TOLD YOU THEY RATTLED THE SILVERWARE AND THE SANDPIPER.
AND AIN'T THE ONE
AND I ASKED THE COPS TO MONITOR THAT AREA.
HE SAID ALSO SUGGEST TO THE POLICE THAT THEY WROTE IN WINDED DOWN THERE, HERE, YOU DON'T HEAR IT.
SO I'VE ASKED THEM TO MONITOR BOTH OF HIS FEET.
SO WHOEVER WAS RIDING A BOAT, MAYBE THE WORK SESSION AND WITH LOOKING AT A NEW NOISE ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY IS WHAT WHAT'S GOING TO BE.
THAT ULTIMATELY HOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH
STAN IS, IF YOU ILLEGALLY SUPPOSE I HAVE A HORN ON YOUR CAR.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN FAIL THE INSPECTION.
THEN WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD IT NOT BE, MAKE SENSE THAT THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL MUST HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WHEN HE'S DROWNING, ALL OUTSIDE, NOISE OUT, WHEN THAT RADIO, THAT, THAT LOUDNESS, WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE? IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD A HORN, HE'S NOT GOING TO HEAR IT.
IT CAN'T BE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.
IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ME EARPHONES.
[01:06:37]
RIGHT.BUT THE POLICE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MONITORED AREA SPECIALIST AND THEN YOUR WIFE'S NAME TELL OUT TO THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
I HAVE SEEN SOME, THEY PROBABLY THINK BECAUSE THE NEIGHBOR WAS OF QUIET THAT THEY ARE IN OTHER AREAS, BUT WAS ASKING OH YEAH.
UH, LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THE NOISE ORDINANCE.
THERE WAS A DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY ATTORNEY AND MYSELF AS TO HOW IT SHOULD BE WRITTEN.
HE FEELS THAT THE NOSE NOISE ORDINANCE SHOULD JUST SAY LOUD OR EXCESSIVE NOISE, ET CETERA.
THAT'S AN INDEFENSIBLE LAW IN COURT THAT THE ONLY WAY TO, AND I MAY BE WRONG.
BUT I THINK WE, I THINK WE HAD A PROBLEM IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA THAT YOU MUST WRITE AN ORDINANCE, GIVING CERTAIN SOUND LEVELS, USING A METER TO RECORD IT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOME INNER CIRCLE MEASUREMENT BY WHICH YOU CAN JUDGE VOLUME, YOU'LL HAVE A TOUGH TIME WITH COURT.
SO WHEN WE, AND I'D LOVE, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A TIGHTENING OF THE SOUND, THE NOISE ORDINANCE.
I LIVE TWO BLOCKS OFF NEWS BOULEVARD AND I HEAR EVERYONE THAT GOES BY, BUT MY, THE TIME TO CALL THE COPS, THEY'RE LONG GONE, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU WHEN I USED TO GET THOSE LOUD MUFFLES, THEY DIDN'T MAKE ME DRAG THE MUFFLER ON THE CAR.
THAT WAS A DIFFERENT, THAT WAS A DIFFERENT WORLD.
AND THERE WERE NO BRUTALITY LAWSUITS AND THAT SORT OF THING.
AT THAT TIME, WE LIVE IN A DIFFERENT WORLD FROM WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AT HOWARD LAW HAD LOUD MUFFLERS.
I MEAN, THEY JUST PICK US UP ON THE STREET BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY WE COMB OUR HAIR.
AND THAT WAS, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WE COULD DO ABOUT IT.
I'M ALL IN FAVOR OF TIGHTENING OF THE NOISE ORDINANCE.
BUT I FEEL IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE IN A SENSIBLE MANNER THAT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES CAN ENFORCE RATHER THAN JUST PUTTING ANOTHER RIDICULOUS LAW ON THE BOOKS THAT CANNOT BE ENFORCED.
I HAVE TO
YOU HAVE ANYTHING WRONG BALL FIELDS OR YOU GOT SOMETHING WE DON'T WANT WORRY UP HERE.
SO LISTEN, WHAT'D YOU FIND OUT HOW TO 2000 TAX, DID YOU GET A PARKING TICKET TOO? I KNOW WHAT THIS IS AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO SEE IT.
I SAID, IS THERE A JACKET HERE? IT'S NOT ACCEPTED, NOT ACCEPTED
[01:10:05]
THAT THIS LETTER BE REDRAFT, RESUBMIT IT IN TWO YEARS.MR. DORN, WHAT WOULD YOU, WHAT, WHAT IS YOUR WISHES THAT WE ACCEPTED? MR. JONES WILL MAKE A COMMENT.
WILL YOU WILL THE MESSAGES I DID.
I JUST READ, YOU MEAN, READ IT OUT LOUD.
YOU WANT ME TO READ IT OUT LOUD? OKAY.
IT SAYS MEMO TO HONORABLE MAYOR.
AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALL OF THEM, ONE FROM FRIDAY TO SEE JOHN A TAX COLLECTOR, SUBJECT RESIGNING AS TAX COLLECTOR, AFTER MUCH THOUGHT AND CONSIDERATION WAS EVE EMOTIONS RESIGNING AS YOUR TAX COLLECTION ON JUNE 30TH, 1995 OR IN THE GS 1 0 5 DASH 3 73.
I MUST REMAIN AS AN EMPLOYEE TO COMPLETE MY ANNUAL SETTLEMENT AND MAKE SURE MY RECORDS ARE CORRECT.
I WOULD BE MOST HAPPY TO STAY UNTIL JULY 28TH, 1995.
IF YOU NEED ME TO HELP TRAIN OR SHARE SOME OF MY GUIDELINES WITH WHOMEVER, YOU WERE POINTING TO THE POSITION, THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH AND CONTINUED CHALLENGES OFFERED WITH THE CITY OF NEWBURGH IN THE PAST 20 YEARS HAVE BEEN A GREAT PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL VALUE.
I DON'T MISS THE PERSONAL CLOSENESS AND THE CONSIDERATION SHAMED BY ALL EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY.
BUT THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL 20 YEARS WITH LOTS OF CHALLENGES, WHICH I LOVE.
I FEEL I AM LEAVING IN WONDERFUL STAFF TO CARRY OUT GOALS THAT HAVE BEEN GOOD FOR OUR DEPARTMENT.
AND I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALLOWING ME TO SERVE IN THIS CAPACITY AT YOUR PLEASURE.
I HOPE IN THE FUTURE, I WILL BE OF SOME ASSISTANCE TO ANYONE THAT MIGHT NEED ME.
MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BE IN HIS BEST INTEREST TO SIT IN MY FELLOW WORKERS.
I'VE READ SEVERAL RESIGNATION NOTICES IN MY LIFE AND THAT'S THE BEST ONE I HAVE, BUT, UH, AT LEAST YOUR HATE TO SEE YOU TO SEE YOUR RESIGNED.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO REAL ARE RETIRING, NOT RETIRING.
NOW, THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME, MR. MAYOR, WITH HEARTFELT THANKS FOR 20 YEARS LOYAL AND GREAT SERVICE TO THE CITY OF NEWBURGH.
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THIS RETIREMENT NOTICE BE ACCEPTED BY THE BOARD OF ALL OF THEM.
ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, ALL IN FAVOR.
SAY, AYE, WE DON'T HAVE TO COME.
I WOULD SAY THAT, UH, PERHAPS WE SHOULD ACCEPT THIS ONE WITHOUT HAVING TO VOTE.
NOBODY WILL EVER HAVE TO SAY
THAT MEANS IF YOU WANT TO SHOW UP FINE.
IF YOU DON'T HOW'S THAT? UM, I HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE BECAUSE YOU PAY THEIR TAXES WHEN THEY DIDN'T LOOK TO.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO GET OUT 99%, THEN IT'S GOING TO BE HARD WITHOUT VERDE, BUT WE'LL, SHE SET US UP A GOOD FRAMEWORK OVER THERE AND WE'LL JUST TRY AND KEEP WORKING OUT OF IT.
SO I THINK WE'LL STILL BE ABLE TO GET OUR TAX.
WHY DIDN'T THIS LAST YEAR? 9.9.
AND WHOEVER THAT OTHER PERCENT IS AT SQUARE, I KNOW THAT THE AMOUNT IS IN BIRDIE.
SHE DOESN'T DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE? I FIGURED IT.
YEAH, THIS IS WHAT'S BEEN STOPPING AND THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT WORKS FOR US.
WE HAD A MOTION TO ADJOURN IT'S OVER.
[01:15:09]
WHETHER IT'S A DINNER OCCASION, A FRIEND'S WEDDING CHURCH HALMER WORKPLACE, AND LINDSAY NEWBURN CAN PUT TOGETHER AN OUTSTANDING WARDROBE OR TODAY'S LANEY, LAUNDRY OR LEGS WIDER COVERS TIMELESS STYLING.
