[00:00:04]
THAT WAS PEPSI, NO MATTER WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE.
NOW CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER AND WE'LL HAVE OUR OPENING PRAYER BY REVEREND RONALD MCDOUGALL.
WE PLANT THEM CHAPEL AME, ZION CHURCH, STAND THERE.
AND MR. SAMSON DO US TO FIGHT.
OH, FOLLOW UP, COMING FOR ME TONIGHT WHILE PREPARING TO DO BUSINESS IN YOUR NAME, BUT MY SUPPLY BATH AND I WOULD TOUCH YOU.
LET US KNOW THAT YOU HAVE GONE INSIDE OF YOU.
THERE WAS A FATHER HAD TO SIT AND DO BRING A NEW CONNOR KRAMER BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER FROM OH FIVE.
THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN OPEN ON COULD HAPPEN HERE.
OH FIVE OF WOMEN TOGETHER, FATHER, WE CAN COME TOGETHER.
WE WON'T HAVE TO COME TOGETHER.
THAT DOPEY WOULD BE AN OPEN ROOM WHERE WE WOULD BE ALL READY TOGETHER TO FACE THE ISSUE THAT IS AT HAND FATHER.
WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BLESS THE, ALL THE FATHER THAT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE RIGHT FOR EVERYONE.
WE REMEMBER THAT WE ALL HAVE BROTHERS.
WE HAVE OTHER BEST IN JESUS' NAME.
FIRST THING WE HAVE AT NIGHT IS A PRESENTATION FROM THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION, AND WE'RE GOING TO AWARD SOME CERTIFICATES.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU'RE NOT GONNA COME FORWARD AND MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION, UH, MAYOR BAYLIS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD EACH YEAR IN MAY.
UH, THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION, UH, RECOGNIZES INDIVIDUALS IN PROJECTS THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE PRESERVATION OF NEW BIRDS, ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORIC HERITAGE.
UH, WE DO THIS IN MAY IN HONOR OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION WEEK, WHICH HAS HELD REGULARLY DURING THE SECOND WEEK OF MAY.
WE'D LIKE TO GIVE THESE DURING, AND WE'RE ALL IN THE MEETING TO, TO RECOGNIZE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE PAST YEAR, UH, MAYOR BALES.
IF I COULD ASK YOU TO STEP DOWN HERE, WE HAVE CHAIRMAN WILLIAM FAULKENBERRY FROM OUR HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION WHO, UH, WITH YOU WILL HAND OUT THE CERTIFICATES AND SOME NEW BERLIN HELP HIM.
THIS WHY DON'T WE WILL DO IS SHOW A, JUST SOME BRIEF SLIDES OF EACH PROJECT, GIVE YOU A LITTLE DESCRIPTION.
AND THEN WE WOULD ASK
MANY OF NEWBORNS, UH, DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS HAVE SUFFERED OVER THE YEARS DUE TO MISGUIDED ATTEMPTS, TO MODERNIZE FACADES IN AN EFFORT TO COMPETE WITH THE SUBURBAN SHOPPING MALL.
THE 1885 WINDLEY BUILDING WAS NO EXCEPTION.
IT'S ORIGINAL STOREFRONT WAS UNSYMPATHETICALLY REMODELED IN THE 1950S AND COVERED WITH CORRUGATED METAL PANELS, ALUMINUM IN GLASS WINDOW SYSTEM AND MODERN BRICK BULKHEAD.
THE ORIGINAL STOREFRONT CONFIGURATION WAS ALSO ALTERED WITH AN ANGLE WALL WHEN NEW OWNER BRUCE PRICE RELOCATED HIS JEWELRY STORE FROM NEXT DOOR, HE EMBARKED ON AN AMBITIOUS PROJECT TO CREATE A PERIOD STOREFRONT THAT REFLECTED THE BUILDING'S VICTORIAN CHARACTER.
THE NEW STOREFRONT IS MADE OF WOOD AND GLASS WITH A BEADED WORD PANEL, TREATMENT TRENDS AND WINDOWS AND LET IT GLASS ACCENTS AND BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL FLUTED CAST IRON COVERED.
DURING THE RENOVATION THOUGH, IT SAYS RESOLVED THE BUILDING.
ONCE AGAIN, EXUDES THE CHART OF ITS PICTORIAL CHARACTER.
AND WE'D LIKE TO THANK BRUCE PRICE FOR THIS, HIS VISION IN RECREATING THIS LAW STOREFRONT, BRUCE, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
[00:05:09]
THE NEXT CATEGORY IS OUTSTANDING.RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS AND PARTICULARLY HISTORIC DISTRICTS ARE ALL TOO PAINFULLY AWARE AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE PRESENCE OF THE PROBLEM HOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THESE DOGS, AS THEY'RE AFFECTIONATELY REFERRED ARE FREQUENTLY OWNED BY SLUM LANDLORDS OR ABSENTEE PROPERTY OWNERS TO NICKEL AND DIME THE REPAIRS.
IF THEY DO ANY AND FREQUENTLY UNDERTAKE ALTERATIONS THAT DESTROY THE BUILDING'S ORIGINAL CHARACTER SUCH WAS THE CASE WITH THE CIRCUIT 1900 TAILORED BROCK HOUSE AT 1225 NATIONAL AVENUE ENTER CADDY AND WILBUR VITALIS.
THE COUPLE HAD MOVED TO THE RIVERSIDE HISTORIC DISTRICT FROM THE VIRGINIA ARLINGTON VIRGINIA AREA, AND THEN MOVED INTO THE STREET LLOYD KENNEDY HOUSE NEXT DOOR, REACHING THE END OF THEIR ROPE, UH, WITH THE CONDITION OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTY.
THE BEATLES, UH, BASICALLY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY AT PROBABLY A HIGHER PRICE THAN THEY WOULD HAVE LIKED, BUT BEGAN THE AMBITIOUS TASK OF RESTORING THIS LATE QUEENSLAND COLONIAL REVIVAL DWELLING TO ITS ORIGINAL SPLENDOR INTERIOR WALLS IN THE HOUSE WHERE WERE REMOVED.
UM, CEILINGS THAT HAD BEEN LOWERED WERE BROUGHT BACK UP TO THEIR ORIGINAL INTERIOR WOODWORK WAS METICULOUSLY RECREATED USING GHOST MARKS AND RATTLE ACTIONS OF PREVIOUS OWNERS LIVING IN THE HOUSE AND NEW MOLDINGS WERE RECREATED.
AND IN SOME CASES WHEN THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE, ARCHITECTURAL REPLACEMENTS WERE PURCHASED IN ORDER TO RECAPTURE THE VICTORIAN PERIOD IN WHICH THIS HOUSE WAS BUILT.
ANY ONE REMARKABLE CASE, THE PREVIOUS SLOW LANDLORD RETURNED SOME INTERIOR ARCHITECTURAL COLUMNS TO THE PAST FOR REINSTALLATION DURING THE REHABILITATION STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS WERE REPAIRED AND THE HOUSE WAS GIVEN A FRESH COAT OF PAINT EVEN BEFORE, UH, THE NEW, OVER, UH, MOVED IN NEIGHBORS HAD GIVEN MORAL SUPPORT, WHICH I THINK WAS VERY REMARKABLE ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
AND SOME EVEN ASSISTED IN THE REHAB MAKE TRIPS TO LOWE'S FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER AND EVERYONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF, SORT OF RALLYING AROUND THIS REHABILITATION.
UH, THE TAYLOR ROCK HOUSE, ONCE AGAIN, CONTRIBUTES TO RANT OR NATIONAL AVENUE.
WHEN WE THINK KATHY AND WILBUR FOR THEIR EFFORTS, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
THE CHARLES HOLLISTER HOUSE HAS BEEN A MONUMENTAL PRESENCE ON THE 600 BLOCK OF CRAVEN STREET, SINCE IT WAS UPDATED BY COBRA WOODLEY SIMPSON IN 1912, RECENT REHAB REHABILITATION AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS BY OWNER PAMELA HOILES HAVE ENSURED THAT THIS IMPORTANT PROPERTY WILL REMAIN AN ADDRESS OF DISTINCTION FROM THE NEWS.
UM, LET'S SEE, GETTING FORWARD HERE, CHEERS TO CHAIRMAN, IF YOU, YEAH.
THE GARAGE DECK BACK TO MATCH THE HOUSE.
THIS IS THE BACK FACADE PRIOR TO THE IMPROVEMENTS.
THIS IS ACCURATE FOR THIS, UH, NUMEROUS EXTERIOR CHANGES WERE MADE A NEW GARAGE AREA
WELL WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT TAKES ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE ORIGINAL HOUSE, NUMEROUS WALKWAYS, PORTABLE GARDEN AREAS IN THE BACK FOUNTAIN AS WELL
TREES WERE ALSO ADDED TO GIVE AN ERA OF ESTABLISHING AND RICHARD COFFIN WAS THE BUILDING CONTRACTOR ON THIS PARTICULAR SITE IS HERE THIS EVENING TO, UH, PICK UP THE AWARD.
I MISS THE SPOILS OF THE HOUSE.
THE NEXT AWARD IS GIVEN IN THE CATEGORY OF A COMPARABLE
[00:10:01]
NEW RESIDENTIAL EDITION, A TRUE TESTAMENT TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IS THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO INVEST IN NEW ADDITIONS TO OPERATE THEIR PROPERTIES, TO BE CURRENT LIFESTYLE NEEDS IN LIEU OF MOVING TO NEW LOCATIONS OUTSIDE THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.SO AS THE CASE WITH SCOTT AND BETSY HATHAWAY PROPERTY AT 2 0 7 KING STREET, THE OWNERS NEEDED MORE SPACE, BUT LIKELY LOCATION AND OPTED TO ENLARGE THE HOUSE FOR THE NEW KITCHEN MASTER BEDROOM.
SEE THAT, UH, DESIGNER CATHERINE WILL, UH, PICK OFF THE BOARD IN THE HATHAWAY'S, UH, HONORS DESIGNING THE SYMPATHETIC DIVISION, WHICH VERY MUCH REFLECTS THE VERY SIMPLE LINES OF THE ARCHITECTURE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE COMMISSION LIKED ABOUT THIS DESIGN WAS THE FACT THAT THE ADDITION IS SET FROM THE MAIN PASS TO DIFFERENTIATE YOUR ORIGINAL VIEW AND ALSO A MATURE TREE TO THE REMAINDER OF THE SITE.
AND KATHERINE, IF YOU COULD PLEASE STEP FORWARD FOR THE HALFLINGS THE NEXT AWARD IS IN THE CATEGORY OF RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPING, UH, THE CIRCUIT 1920, UH, HARRY PATTERSON HOUSE ON PRIME HALL SCRIBE STANDS OUT IN THE STREETSCAPE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT IS A VERY SUBURBAN 1920S BUNGALOW THAT IS MORE APPROPRIATE IN THE GHANA NEIGHBORHOOD THAN IT IS IN THE URBAN SETTING AND THE DARE HISTORIC DISTRICT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.
HOWEVER, THE HOUSE IS BEING EXTINCTION FOR A REASON THAT IT IS THE GREEN THUMB OF ANY GIVES THE PROPERTY OWNER.
UH, WHAT WAS OF THE VERY OVERGROWN IT FOR LONG FOR LAUREN, A YARD HAS BECOME A SHOWPLACE OF COLOR, UH, WITH PERENNIALS, UH, ANIMALS AND FLOWERS AND SHRUBS.
UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ROUTINELY SHOT AT THE PATH OF SAC EAST FRONT STREET, I THINK ALL OF YOU HAVE NOTICED THIS GARDEN AS YOU'RE DRIVING THROUGH THE DRIVEWAY TO THE BACK, IT REALLY HAS GIVEN A SLICE OF CALMER AND INTEREST TO, TO THIS YARD, WHICH WAS BEFORE VERY UNDISTINGUISHED.
SO ON BEHALF OF THE PRESERVATION COMMISSION, WE THANK, AND IT GIVES FOR HER WILLINGNESS TO, TO MAKE THIS, UH, URBAN IMPROVEMENT AND PLEASE GO FORWARD.
THE NEXT CATEGORY IS THAT OF A COMPATIBLE NEW CONSTRUCTION.
ONE OF THE GREATEST DESIGN CHALLENGES FACING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW CRAVEN COUNTY COURTHOUSE ANNEX WAS CREATING A STRUCTURE THAT DID NOT VISUALLY COMPETE WITH THE 1883 CRAVING A COURTHOUSE.
THE LAVISHLY ORNAMENTAL STRUCTURE THAT WAS BUILT, UH, IN THE LAST DECADE OF THE 19TH CENTURY IS CROSS RESOURCE DISTINGUISHABLE, LANDMARK, AND GREAT CARE WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO BUILD A FACILITY THAT DID NOT DETRACT OR OVERWHELM VICTORIA MILL.
THE THOUGHT PETERSON ARCHITECTS TOOK GREAT CARE TO RELATE THE TWO BUILDINGS, AND YET ALLOW THE COURTHOUSE TO REMAIN THE DOMINANT SITE.
THE NEW STRUCTURE IS SET BACK FROM THE COURTHOUSE ABILITY TO LEAVE IT HERE FOR A SECOND.
UM, SET BACK TO THE COURTHOUSE TO ALLOW THE COURTHOUSE TO REMAIN DOMINANT FEATURE.
IT'S ALSO SLIGHTLY SHORTER THAN THE COURTHOUSE.
BUILDING A SIMILAR DESIGN TECHNIQUES WERE USED TO RELATE ARCHITECTURE TO THE FORECASTS.
THERE'S A THREE-PART DIVISION IN THE FRONT OF THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
HERE'S A THREE-PART DIVISION IN FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE RIGHT HERE IN THE MAIN COURTHOUSE.
ALSO PULLING THE USE OF, OF RANK, UH, BLACKBOARD AND AT SEVERAL LEVELS OF THE SIDE AND NASH MANY ELEMENTS IN PERHAPS THE WINDOWS ALSO WERE A LONG GATED
ON BEHALF OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.
[00:15:01]
FOR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO ENGAGE IN A DESIGN AS A COMPLIMENT TO THE, TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.WE FEEL THIS BUILDING WILL INDEED BECOME A LANDMARK IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR APPLAUSE, ALSO A PETERSON ARCHITECTURAL FIRM FOR THEIR MINORS ON THE STRUCTURE AND MULTIPLE RECEIVING WORDS TONIGHT.
UH, CRITICAL READING RADIANT TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN ANY NEIGHBORHOOD IS THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND COMMON PURPOSE THAT EXISTS AMONG ITS RESIDENTS, DEVELOPING A SHARED VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCE ITS REVITALIZATION AND END RESULT IT'S STABILITY.
THE RIVERSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS ONE COMMUNITY GROUP THAT HAS DEMONSTRATED THE POSSIBLE IMPACTS OF GRASSROOTS SUPPORT ON NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT FROM ITS QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER, WHICH HIGHLIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD EVENTS, UH, NATIVE PEOPLE IN THE, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAVE BEEN LIFELONG RESIDENTS OF RIVERSIDE TO ITS, UH, UH, LISTING PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO ARE WILLING TO MAYBE SIT AND PAINT HOUSES AND DO YARD WORK TO THEIR MORE CONCERTED EFFORTS TO GET THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD REZONED, TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTIES, UH, THROUGH CONVERSIONS OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, TO THEIR ORGANIZED NEIGHBORHOOD, CLEANUPS TO THE HOMES TOURS, UH, TO THEIR PURCHASING OF THE VERY HIGHLY VISIBLE LOTS ON NATIONAL AVENUE.
FOLLOWING THE FIREARM THAT DESTROYED A, A SIGNIFICANT HOUSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WAY OF MAINTAINING CONTROL OVER THE CHARACTER OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THE RIVERSIDE ASSOCIATION IS A VERY ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE FUTURE OF THE RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY.
AND WE THEREFORE FEEL THAT, UH, THE KEY TO PRESERVATION IS HAVING A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO THE FUTURE OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THAT WILL AND HAS BEEN GONE TO HAVE PEOPLE LIKE THE BEATLES, UH, MAKE THE GAMBLE TO RESTORE BUILDINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND INVEST IN PROPERTIES IN THE DISTRICT.
AND IT'S PAYING OFF AND WE APPLAUD RIVERSIDE ASSOCIATE ASSOCIATION, DAVID PRICE, WHO IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION THIS YEAR WILL RECEIVE YOU MORE ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS BEHALF.
AND I KNOW THERE ARE SOME OF YOU HERE WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION.
IF YOU CAN PLEASE STAY IN THESE ARE THE CIVIL WAR PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE RIVERSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD.
OUR FINAL AWARD TONIGHT IS FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL NOT BE PRESENT, AND WE DO NOT HAVE A SLIDE TO ILLUSTRATE HIS ACHIEVEMENTS, BUT THIS GOES TO A GENTLEMAN BY THE NAME OF ROBERT MEZ ROCK.
AND THIS IS IN THE FIELD OF ACADEMIC HISTORICAL RESEARCH, THE JOB OF THE STORY, AND AS MUCH LIKE THAT OF THE DETECTIVE SEARCHING FOR AND DISCOVERING BITS AND PIECES OF THE PAST AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER TO CREATE A FASHION STORY.
ROBIN BEZ ROB OVER THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS HAS BEEN IN BARKING AT A VERY, I THINK, REMARKABLE, UH, ATHLETES, UH, THROUGH A GREAT DEAL OF RESEARCH OF HUNDREDS OF PHOTOGRAPHS, DOWNTOWN NEWBURGH, AS WELL AS MAPS, TALKING TO PEOPLE, HE HAS CREATED A BIRD'S EYE VIEW MAP OF DOWNTOWN UBER.
SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS MAP IN THE SUN JOURNALING, A VERY REMARKABLE FEATURE.
HE HAS THROUGH HIS ARTISTIC SKILLS AS AN ARTIST DOING RENDERINGS AND DRAWINGS CREATED, UH, WHAT ONCE EXISTED IN NEWBURGH IN 1906.
AND BY DOING SO HAS REALLY CONTRIBUTED TO OUR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT NEWBURN LOOKED LIKE AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.
THE COMMISSION FEELS THIS WILL BE A VERY STRONG EDUCATIONAL TOOL IN THE FUTURE AND HELP PEOPLE BOTH IN THE PRESENT AND IN THE FUTURE UNDERSTAND NUMEROUS HISTORIC CONTEXT AND EVOLUTION.
AND WE PRESENT AN AWARD TO ROBIN AND THEN THEY HAVE, SO LET'S GIVE HIM APPLAUSE, EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT HERE.
THAT CONCLUDES OUR AWARD CEREMONY.
WE THANK YOU ALL FOR ATTENDING.
AND AGAIN, THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR WORK AND COMMITMENT TO NUMEROUS ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE
[00:20:01]
IF I HAD A GOOD THING, JUST A MOMENT TO CONGRATULATE FOLKS WHO RECEIVED THE WARRANTS TODAY, BUT THERE ARE TWO GROUPS.I ALSO WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE THAT HAS IMPROVED THE APPEARANCE OF NEW WORDS SO MUCH IN THE LAST 10, 12 YEARS.
AND THAT'S THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION GROUP ITSELF AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.
UH, I, THERE THINGS GET A LITTLE TENSE.
OCCASIONALLY I'VE SEEN A FEW OF THEIR MEETINGS AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST DON'T THINK THEY NEED TO DO WHAT THE GROUP THINKS THEY NEED TO DO.
SO THEY, THEY ARE TO A LARGE DEGREE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHAME THAT NEWBURN HAS TAKEN.
AND ALSO THE CITY EMPLOYEES WHO WORK WITH THEM.
UH, THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF EFFORT THAT GOES INTO THIS, BOTH ON THE PARTS OF THE PEOPLE WHO BUY OR STORE THOSE HOMES, HISTORIC PRESERVATION GROUPS.
AND THERE ARE A COUPLE HERE IN TOWN AND THEY BOTH WORKED VERY HARD.
SEE THAT THIS IMPETUS HAS MAINTAINED AND THE CITY EMPLOYEES WHO WORK WITH THEM TOGETHER, YOU HAD DONE SOMETHING WONDERFUL HERE.
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN A LOT OF TIMES, BUT I'M VERY PROUD OF THE EFFORTS OF PAUL ABI TOGETHER.
AND IT HAS BEEN A JOINT EFFORT AND THAT'S VERY GRATIFYING.
I CALLED ON MR.
AND THOSE OF US HERE IN THE CITY, A VERY SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR EFFORTS.
SO, SO YOU TELL THEM THAT WHEN YOU THOUGHT ABOUT PACING THAT CURVE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE DAVID AN AWARD FOR YOUR GOOD WORK.
SO YOU CAN BE AWARDED AT THAT TIME.
AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF IT WAS COINCIDENCE THAT WE HAVE A NEW BUDGET UNDER HERE, US TONIGHT, AND HE HAS THE SLIDE PROJECTOR BREAK DOWN.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SAY ANYTHING THAT IS A SEWER REPORT BY THE SEWER CITY ENGINEER?
SO, UH, THE PRESENTER OF THAT CAN STEP FORWARD.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS 1992 PROGRAM.
THIS PATIENT COME TO THE END OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, WHICH WE ARE NOW WITH 1993 PROGRAMS THAT WE HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING, RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT, ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE PROGRAM OR ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THE PROGRAM.
WE HAVE REHABILITATED VIA A LIVE MONITORING.
I BOUGHT A NEW BOAT FOR THE PROJECT.
SO THE PUBLIC HEARING I GUESS, IS, IS NOW.
SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY COMMENT ABOUT THE CDBG FOR THIS YEAR, THE SAMSUNG
I SEE THERE IS STILL SOME MILD THING THAT HASN'T BEEN CORRECTED.
IT MIGHT BE SMALL TO COME OVER SIX MONTHS.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET THERE STILL
[00:25:01]
THESE OTHER, THESEWOULD YOU LIKE TO ANSWER THAT? YES.
MS. SASH, NORMALLY DURING THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, AT LEAST $500 FOR A PERIOD WHEN YOU WILL FOLLOW THE, BUT DOES THAT MEAN THEY COULD HAVE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE THEY COULD COME BACK AND STILL GET THEIR MONEY? OTHERWISE, 11 MONTHS THEY COULD WAIT 11 MONTHS TO FIX THE LATEST PROBLEM AND STILL GETTING YOUR MONEY.
UM
WELL, HOW ABOUT THIS? HOW ABOUT THAT CONTRACT? AND NOT GETTING ANY MORE JOBS IF HE DOESN'T DOESN'T THIS, YOU KNOW, WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO TELL THEM THAT THEY CAN'T COMPETE FOR ANY MORE JOBS.
WHO IS IT THAT YOU CALL WHEN YOU HAVE THESE COMPLAINTS? WELL, COULD YOU PASS THAT ON TO THE LADY THAT SHE'S GOING TO GET A NEW ONE THEN WELL, WHAT ARE THEY TELLING YOU? NOT YOU BUT HIM ABOUT WHEN I GO PLAY BUT I MEAN, WHEN CAN YOU FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW,
AND I'M GETTING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE, UH, THE CALIBER OF WORK THAT SOME OF THESE CONTRACTORS ARE DOING.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, SOME OF IT IS SUBSTANDARD.
UM, SOME OF THE WORK IS ALMOST LIKE A JACQUELINE HAS DONE IT.
IT'S JUST NOT DONE BY A REALLY, IT'S NOT DONE BY, IT'S NOT THE QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP.
AND WE NEED A METHOD TO EITHER HELP THESE CONTRACTORS EXECUTE OR BOND OR SOMETHING TO ENSURE THAT IF, UH, IF THEY, IF, IF WE SPENT $22,000 ON A HOUSE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET $22,000 WORTH OF WORK FOR RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE NOT GETTING THEIR MONEY'S WORTH REALLY.
AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT MAYBE, MAYBE WE NEED TO WRITE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE AND ASK THEM IF THEY GOT ANY COMPLAINT WITH A RURAL THEIR WORK.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M GETTING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR GRANT HERE REGARDING THE KIND OF WORKMANSHIP THAT THESE CONTRACTORS ARE PROVIDED.
NOT ALL, BUT TOO MANY OF THEM WANTING TO DO WITH THE COMPLAINT WHEN YOU GET IT.
WELL, MR. MAIL CHILDS TO HELL IT THE BEST WAY HE CAN, BUT HE HAS PROBLEMS SOMETIMES HAVING THE CONTRACT TO COME BACK IN A TIMELY FASHION.
AND SOMETIMES HE HAS TO, UH, TO, TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL MONEY FROM ANOTHER PROGRAM TO CORRECT THE MISTAKES THAT ANOTHER CONTRACTOR DID WHEN REALLY YOU'RE NOT GETTING YOUR MONEY'S WORTH, BECAUSE IF YOU HAD ADDITIONAL MONEY, YOU COULD DO OTHER THINGS TO THE HOUSE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REDO AWESOME DEFECTIVE WORK THAT A CONTRACTOR DID.
AND I DON'T KNOW, IT'S A PROBLEM.
WE GOT A PROBLEM WITH OUR INSPECTORS.
I KNOW AT LEAST WITH ONE HOUSE WHERE THE INSPECTOR GAVE IT A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED.
NO, IT'S LIKE THEY JUST RUBBER STAMP IT.
[00:30:01]
I MEAN, IT WAS TERRIBLE, BUT MR. SAMPSON WAS RIGHT.HE'S GETTING SOME, SOME, SOME CALLS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP WAS FROM SOME OF THESE CONTRACTORS AND SAW THEM OUT.
I CALL HIM MR. MAYOR, MR. MAIL CALLS A CONTRACTOR, AND HE'S DOING THE BEST HE CAN, BUT WE GOT A PROBLEM.
WE GOT TOO MANY CONTRACTS, JUST AREN'T DOING COMPETENT.
WELL, DO YOU KNOW THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE KOMODO SITUATION? HOW ABOUT AT LEAST ASKING THEM THEY WATCH CHANNEL 10 WHEN THIS COMES ON AND TELL HIM, TELL HIM HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF, OF A GOOD CHUNK OF THE, OF THE, OF THE CALM CONVERSATION TONIGHT THEY ARE.
BUT I MEAN, YEAH, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH, BUT A COMMON, THE TYPE PERSON, IF SOMEBODY TELLS ME HE'S GOING TO BE BACK, THAT JUST BEGS ANOTHER QUESTION.
AND THAT'S WHEN, AND YOU KNOW, BUT ANYWAY, NO, I'M PRETTY GOOD JOB ON MY HOUSE.
YOU GOT A FEW THINGS YOU HAD TO TAKE CARE OF.
BUT, UH, SO SOME OF THE REAL PROBLEM, THE REAL JOB IN MY HOUSE, YOU KNOW, I GOT A FEW THINGS THAT YOU NEED DONE AND I NEED TWO THINGS.
AND I TOLD HIM, SO WITH ANYBODY ELSE, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN DONE A GOOD JOB TO GET UP, LET HIM KNOW BEFORE WE HANG OUT SO THEY CAN GET THESE THINGS DONE.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE WRITE A LETTER TO THESE PEOPLE AND ASK THEM, OR IF THEY'RE SATISFIED WITH THE WORK BEFORE WE CLOSE IT OUT.
BUT I WILL ASK THEM IN THAT LETTER, THERE BE SPECIFIC TO BE SPECIFIC, BE SPECIFIC.
AND LET ME ASK YOU ONE OTHER THING.
IT'S CLOSED AS THAT MONETARILY, BUT IT IS NOT CLOSING IT OUT WITH THOSE PEOPLE.
YOU HOLDING $500 BACK ON, RIGHT? WE STILL HAVE THAT MONEY AVAILABLE TO TAKE CARE OF.
SO ANYBODY WHO HASN'T HAD THEIR STUFF FIXED AND SEES THIS ON CHANNEL 10, IT DOESN'T MEAN TO STAND IN THE ROAD.
THEY BEEN IN CONTACT WHEN THEY, WHEN Y'ALL CAN, Y'ALL HAVE A HOUSE DONE.
IS IT OCCUPANTS OF THE HOUSE? THEY DO A PUNCH LIST OF ANY TYPE.
WE TRY TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE AND Y'ALL FOLLOW UP ON I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, I FILL OUT THE MAYOR.
IF WE HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE DOING SHODDY WORK AND WE CONTINUE TO USE THEM, WE'RE FOOLS.
WE JUST DON'T USE PEOPLE TO DO SHODDY WORK WITH MONEY THAT WE'RE HAVING TO PUT OUT A TAXPAYER'S POCKETS.
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE REPAIR OR AVERAGE HOUSE YOU'RE SAYING AROUND 22,000 POUNDS? IS THAT A GOOD ROUND NUMBER? WELL DEAD AND $500 MINUS SMALL AMOUNT.
THE WHOLE BACK WELL, I THINK THE REAL MEASURING STICK, HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO THEM IS HOW RESPONSIVE THEY ARE.
THE 500 DOESN'T MAKE THEM RESPOND.
I WOULD SUGGEST A THOUSAND ON THE NEXT GO AROUND.
HOW ABOUT, HOW ABOUT IF THEY DON'T DO THE REPAIR SHOP, YOU COME BACK THE NEXT MONTH, FIRST MEETING AND GIVE US THEIR NAMES AND PUBLIC.
I NEED TO ASK FOR THEIR NAMES NOW, BUT WE SHOULD PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
THEY'RE USING PUBLIC TOP FIVE.
LET'S GO UNDER THE, CAN WE TELL YOU ANYBODY ELSE GOT ANYTHING
[00:35:01]
ABOUT HOUSING CDBG? IF NOT, NO MOOD CHECK.DO WE HAVE TO MAKE THAT? WAS IT ALL IN FAVOR? SAY AYE.
I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE, OR WRITE A LETTER TO THE OWNERS OF THESE HOUSES.
SEE IF THEY'RE SATISFIED WITH, WITH, WITH THE WORKMANSHIP BEFORE WE CLOSE OUT THIS GRANT MAKE A SPECIFIC, BUT, UM, WE NEED TO HAVE CLOSE OUT PAPERS AND RALEIGH BY NEXT MONTH TO BE ABLE TO
SO, BUT STILL AGAIN, IT DOESN'T SAY, OKAY, THAT'S FINE.
BACK TO, WELL, WE HAD A MOTION AND A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR, ALL OPPOSED.
SO EVALUATING, IF POSSIBLE, ASK ME, WHAT DID I DO WRONG? I TELL YOU WHAT YOU DID WRONG, SAM, YOU KNOW, SAYING THINGS LIKE, DID IT MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS? AND IF NOT SPECIFICALLY, WHY NOT? AND THAT LADY COULD SPEAK OF WITH A PROBLEM OR WHATEVER, BUT NOT JUST GENERALITIES.
IT MIGHT HELP US IN THE FUTURE.
THE NEXT THING WE HAVE AS A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE QUESTION OF AMENDING ARTICLE 11, SUPPLEMENTARY USE REGULATIONS, SECTIONS 15 DASH 1 63, A PARENTHESES, A THREE IN PARENTHESES, WHATEVER THAT MEANS PARTICULARLY USES.
SO AS TO REDUCE THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACES OF WORSHIP, NOW SOMEBODY'S GOING TO SPEAK ON THAT ONE GUY HE HAS FOR THE DOOR.
SO THIS MESSING, NOT ME, HIM, HE WAS GOING TO COME.
I'LL WAIT TO, UM, MR. CHAIRMAN, WHAT YOU HAD BEFORE YOU IS A VERY SIMPLE, UH, ONE SENTENCE, UH, AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINANCE, WHICH DEALS WITH AN ISSUE THAT, UM, HAS BEEN A FAIRLY, UH, COMPLEX ISSUE FOR A VARIETY OF, OF, UH, CHURCHES IN THE CITY OF NEWBURGH.
IF YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OUR CHURCHES ARE, UH, EXPANDING WITH FAMILY LIFE CENTERS, AND WE HAVE A PROVISION IN THE CODE RIGHT NOW THAT REQUIRES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE, UH, TO BE ALLOCATED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE BUILDING AND PARKING LOT AREAS THAT ARE CREATED WITH THAT PARTICULAR CHURCH.
AND THIS PROVISION, UH, STEPS BACK FROM THE OLD ZONING ORDINANCE IS CARRIED OVER INTO THE NEW CODE AND REALLY, UH, WAS PROBLEMATIC IN THAT IT DID, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO ALLOW EXISTING CHURCHES TO EXPAND IN THEIR PRESENT LOCATIONS.
UH, IT ALSO WAS PROBLEMATIC FOR NEW CHURCHES BECAUSE IT REQUIRED THEM TO REALLY HAVE A REQUIRE THEM TO PURCHASE A VERY LARGE TRACK OF LAND IN ORDER TO BUILD THEIR SANCTUARY SPACES BASED ON THE CALCULATION OF THREE FOOT OF OPEN SPACE WHERE EVERY FOOT OF BUILDING, UH, FOOTAGE, WHICH ALSO INCLUDE PARTLY MOZZILLA PERVIOUS AREAS.
UM, MR. BUDS STILLY, WHO'S A DEVELOPER IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAS WORKED WITH CHURCHES IN THE PAST, UH, DID FORMALLY REQUEST THAT AN AMENDMENT BE INITIATED, UH, IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE STAFF, UH, GENERALLY CONCURRED WITH THAT SENTIMENT, WE FOLLOWED UP BY, UH, DOING A SURVEY OF SEVERAL COMMUNITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA TO SEE IF OUR PROVISIONS WERE IN SYNC WITH SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
AND WE FOUND THAT IN MOST CASES, UH, CITIES USE THE SAME STANDARDS THAT THEY APPLY TO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS FOR CHURCHES.
AND THIS PARTICULAR AMENDMENT WOULD DO THAT SAME THING FOR US, WITH THE CITY, WITH TYING IN THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS, TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS.
SO STAFF AND HERS, AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CONSIDERED AND THE CHURCHES CONCUR, I WOULD THINK IN GENERAL, THE CHURCH HAS A BIG RING.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE THE CHURCHES REPRESENTED HERE UNTIL I SAW THIS WAS STILL LIKE I'M COMING IN AND YOU LOVE THEM TO TALK WITH THEM.
WELL, IS THERE ANYBODY HERE IN OPPOSITION TO IT THEN? SURE.
IT'S EIGHTH GRADE SAYS OPEN SPACE AND PLANNING REQUIREMENTS REQUIREMENTS SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 15, 3 89 GOVERNING NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
SO IT JUST REFERENCES THAT SECTION AND THAT SECTION DEALS WITH COMPLIANCE, THE PLANNING REQUIREMENTS AND LISTS EMAIL PER BASE AREA THAT WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED FOR EACH
[00:40:01]
SIZE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON A PAGE WHICH BROKE DOWN.IT JUST GIVES THE CHURCHES MORE LATITUDE IN THEIR PLANNING.
THERE, IF, IF THERE'S NO ONE IN THE OPPOSITION, I LIKE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HERE.
SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION, ALL IN FAVOR OF CLOSING THE HEARING, SAY, AYE, ALL OPPOSED IT, MOVE IT TO ORDINANCE ANY DISCUSSION THERE AND YOU CAN CALL THE ROLE, I GUESS.
NUMBER SEVEN, PUBLIC HEARING ON THE QUESTION OF AMENDING SECTION 15 DASH 1 46 TABLE, A PERMISSIBLE USES AND SEX, UH, SECTION 15 DASH 1 63 PARTICULAR USERS OF NEWBURN LAND USE ORDINANCE.
SO AS TO ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF HOMELESS SHELTERS AND CERTAIN DESIGNATED DISTRICTS AND SPECIFYING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH SAID, SHELTERS MAY BE ALLOWED, WHO'S GOING TO SPEAK ON THAT ONE.
I SHOWED HIM THAT, UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, WHAT PROMPTED THIS, UH, ANALYSIS OF THE HOMELESS SHELTER LOCATIONS, UH, WITHIN THE CITY, UH, WAS REALLY A REQUEST BY RCS.
UH, WE, AS, YOU KNOW, HAVE A HOMELESS SHELTER FACILITY ON BROAD STREET IN DOWNTOWN NEWBURGH AND IN EVALUATING THE CODE, THE HOMELESS SHELTER IS LOOKING AT IT IN THE FUTURE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF POSSIBLY RELOCATING THEM FACILITY.
THEY HAD NOT MADE A DEFINITE DECISION AS TO WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE REPLACED, BUT WANTED TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF RELOCATING THERE AND LOOKING AT THE EXISTING ZONING ORDINANCE.
UH, WE RECOGNIZED THAT HOMELESS SHELTERS WERE ONLY PERMITTED TO EXIST AS A LEGAL NONCONFORMING USE IN THE LOCATION IN WHICH THEY WERE CURRENTLY SITUATED.
WE DID NOT ALLOW FOR PLACEMENT OF SHELTERS IN OTHER AREAS IN THE CITY.
SO WE, AGAIN, UH, LOOKED AT THE CODE AND LOOKED AT, UH, TALK WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA AND BEGAN TO SURVEY THEM AS TO WHERE, UH, SHELTERS WERE DEEMED APPROPRIATE IN TERMS OF ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS.
AND WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS AN AMENDMENT THAT WOULD ALLOW, UH, HOMELESS SHELTERS IN CERTAIN PRESCRIBED ZONING DISTRICTS WITH A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, WHICH WOULD BE A PERMIT THAT YOU AS THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN WOULD ISSUE.
AS YOU RECALL, WHEN YOU WERE IN THE, IN THE BUSINESS OF ISSUING SPECIAL USE PERMITS AND HELP THEM PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS OR CERTAIN COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, YOU WOULD GO THROUGH THE CIVIL, A SIMILAR PROCESS FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
UH, YOU WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLACE CERTAIN AD HOC CONDITIONS ON THE PLACEMENT OF THAT SHELTER, IF YOU SO DESIRE.
AND, UM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAND USE ORDINANCE, YOU WOULD ALSO, UM, HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THE PERMIT APPLICATION, THAT CERTAIN CRITERIA THAT WERE LISTED IN THE ORDINANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE STANDARDS.
UH, SO WE FEEL THAT THE AMENDMENT ADDRESSES THAT IT PROVIDES ADEQUATE SAFEGUARDS FOR THE PROTECTION OF, OF NEIGHBORHOODS AND GIVES, UH, AN ABILITY FOR THE SUCH TYPE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED IN CERTAIN ZONING DISTRICTS IN THE CITY.
I DON'T WALK WITH BAILEY THE REASON FOR THIS.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A PROBLEM? THERE'S NOT A PROBLEM, BUT WHERE IT IS NOW, IS IT, I MEAN, I'VE NEVER HEARD ANY CONDENSED, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF RCS.
MR. MARK COLUMBIAS IS HERE TO REPRESENT THEM.
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS PART OF THE ISSUE IS THE CURRENT FACILITY IS FAIRLY SMALL.
AND ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE HAVING IS THE FACT THAT THEY HAD CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND MEN WHO ARE ALL USING THAT FACILITY.
IT'S NOT SET UP FOR, UH, FOR SEGREGATED USE IN A SENSE.
AND, UH, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A FACILITY THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO HOUSE UP TO ABOUT 20 PEOPLE IN THE CURRENT FACILITY, UH, DOES NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH THAT EXPANSION, BUT THERE'S A NEED FOR IT.
UH, THEY FEEL THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN, UH, THE COMMUNITY AND UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR TRACK RECORD.
AND THERE'VE BEEN VERY FEW PROBLEMS IF ANY, WITH THE CURRENT HOMELESS SHELTER LOCATIONS.
AND THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A NEEDED SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT FEEL THAT THE CURRENT FACILITY HAS NOT MEET THEIR NEEDS.
AND ALSO I'M LOOKING AT OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
IN ADDITION, THEY ALSO HAVE BEEN GIVEN, UH, SOME LAND, UH, AS A, AS A DONATION, UM, OVER ON THE PAST THE STREET AREA NEAR WHERE THEY RELOCATED EXISTING TRAIN DALLAS FROM DOWNTOWN.
AND THEY ARE THINKING POSSIBLY LONG-TERM, OR MAYBE CONCENTRATING THEIR FACILITIES IN THAT AREA, WHICH WOULD BE CLOSER TO THE SOUP KITCHEN, WHERE THEY HAVE BASED ON THEIR OPERATION.
SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT A NEW LOCATION THAT PERHAPS WOULD BE MORE CENTRALIZED AND ALSO BE ABLE TO MEET THEIR NEEDS AND MAYBE A NEW FACILITY THAT THEY ACTUALLY DO DECONSTRUCT.
BUT MR. COLBY IS HEARING THE ANSWER MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS BEFORE,
[00:45:01]
BEFORE HE COMES THERE.I'VE MET WITH THIS GENTLEMAN ALONG THE CITY MANAGER CLOSEST IN MY WARD AND BOTTOM LINE IS BASICALLY TO IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY'RE IN NOW AND JUST TO MAKE IT LARGE.
AND ALSO IT TIES IN WITH OTHER PROPERTIES AROUND AND THAT GIVE SERVICES TO THOSE THAT ARE THERE.
UH, BUT THE PHOENIX HOUSE IS ACROSS THE STREET.
UH, AND WE'VE LOOKED AT AN AREA AND IT REALLY WAS, TO ME, IT WAS SERVED AS AN ANCHOR TO BEGIN TO IMPROVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, CAUSE IT, AND WITH THE PROPERTY THAT WAS DONATED, IT'S GOING TO ELIMINATE SOME HOMES THAT HAD BEEN VACANT THAT PEOPLE LIVING IN AND THE DAY WE GOT LOOKING AT THEM, WE THOUGHT THE HOUSE OF BACON, THIS, AND IT COMES OUT OF THE HOUSE.
SO AS A, UH, A SITUATION WHERE WE JUST, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO IMPROVE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
I SHOULD ADD, UH, THIS DOES NOT GIVE RCS THE ABILITY TO NECESSARILY LOCATE ON THE PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT RECENTLY WAS DONATED TO THEM.
THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO APPLY FOR A REZONING ON THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY.
WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING A HOMELESS SHELTER LOCATIONS IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.
UH, SO THEREFORE THEY WILL BE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, WE SEEK PROBABLY SEEKING A REZONE PLASTIC.
AND QUESTION HAS ALSO BEEN ASKED IF SOMEONE TO A QUESTION TOO, ABOUT DESIGN AND BUILDING.
AND OF COURSE, I THINK WE'D DISCUSS THAT.
IT WOULD TIE IN WITH THE PRESERVATION GROUPS RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT THAT.
THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE SOMETHING THAT YOU, AS A BOARD CAN PUT AS A CONDITION ON PERMIT ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.
WE CHOSE NOT TO PUT ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS INTO THE, IN THE ACTUAL ORDINANCE DUE TO THE DIFFICULT NATURE OF TRYING TO DEFINE THAT.
NOT ABOUT WE HAVE, UH, MADE IT CLEAR THAT YOU AS A BOARD HAVE THE ABILITY TO COMPOSE THAT AS WAS THERE SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY OR EVER DOWN THERE IT'S GOING TO FLY ANYWAY, I GUESS WE GO HERE.
UM, THE REASON WE NEED TO MOVE IS THAT WE ARE SIMPLY OVERCROWDED AND WE WOULD LIKE TO BUILD OR PRESENT SHELTER AND DROP THEIR FEET.
AND ONE REASON IS THAT WE'RE BECOMING MORE AND MORE INVOLVED IN THE REHABILITATION OF PEOPLE ASSIGNED TO ON RURAL, BY A COURSE AND DEVELOP AN EXCELLENT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COURTS AND LIST WHO, YOU KNOW, SAY, CAN YOU TAKE THIS PERSON? YES, WE CAN.
AND WE'RE DOING REALLY SUBURB, BUT IN, IN THIS, GETTING PEOPLE
UM, WHEN, WHEN OUR GUESTS ARE NOT JOB HUNTING OR GOING INTO REHAB OR JOB REFRAMING, THEY HAVE A PLACE TO STAY.
WE OFF THE STREET TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES, SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES IN GETTING RE REHABILITATED AND PLUGGED IN.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS WHY WE NEED BIGGER SHELTER.
WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THAT BECAUSE JUSTICE, OBVIOUSLY WE THINK A LOT OF REHABILITATING HOMES AND NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT REHABILITATE YOUR FOLKS RANKS RIGHT UP THERE AS YOU WELL KNOW.
SO, UH, WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORT.
ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A MOTION ON THIS MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC, HEARING ANY DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR OF CLOSING THE HEARING, SAY AYE.
ANY DISCUSSION OF THAT? YOU BY CALL THE ROAD.
NEXT THING WE HAVE IS A CONSENT AGENDA.
ANYBODY SEE ANY LAND LANDS AND LAND? I HAD ONE QUESTION.
I MEAN, THAT'S ON THE, UH, FOREST PARK SECTION TOO.
WHERE IS THAT? IT'S LOCATED OFF OF A RACETRACK ROAD BACK.
UH, IF YOU, AS YOU PROCEED DOWN ELIZABETH AVENUE, ALL THE WAY DOWN BEING CROSSED, THAT'S ALL I WANTED SECOND.
[00:50:02]
YES.ANYBODY GOT IT? I JUST HAD A QUESTION WHEN YOU GO IN AND GET SHOWS.
I HOPE TO GET THE FULL FINISHED TODAY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS SO MUCH GOING ON.
I DIDN'T HE'S COMPLAINING THERE IT IS.
I'M GETTING BROKEN BLANCHE REPAIRED IN THE WEEKEND.
UH, I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE FOR THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.
HOBBINS UH, MR. HOBBINS RECEIVED HIS ARCHITECTURAL TRAINING AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
IT'S BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE CALIBER OF THE PEOPLE WE ARE GETTING ON THIS BOARD.

UH, HE'S A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS OR 10 YEARS AS A MEMBER OF HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMITTEE OF THE NEW YORK CHAPTER.
AND THIS GENTLEMAN LIVES IN THE DISTRICT AND HAS BEEN ATTENDING THE MEETINGS REGULARLY.
EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT A MEMBER AT THIS TIME, WE REALLY PUT IN THE WORK.
SO I PLACED IN NOMINATION AND NAME GERALD POCKETS OF 2 29 NEW STREET, WHOSE FIRST AWARD RESIDENT.
SO ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, ALL OPPOSED.
UM, BUT I DON'T HAVE HER RESUME.
I TALKED TO HER TODAY AND I TOLD HER THAT THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE FINE.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A GET COMPLETED.
WELL MAYOR AND THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
I HAVE A NOMINATION FOR THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ALSO.
AND THIS PERSON'S RESUME IS INCLUDED IN A LETTER ADDRESSED TO ME.
AND IT'S IN THE AGENDA PACKET.

HE LIVES AT 16, 19 SMITH AVENUE.
HE'S ALSO A MEMBER OF THE NATURE SINCE CONSERVANCY AND HAS WORKED FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY PROJECTS.
DO YOU SEE AS RESUMES? IT'S LIKE A SECTION 14 YET.
SESSION 14, HIS NUMBER SEVEN, NUMBER SEVEN.
BUT I THINK HIS RESUMES KIND OF EXPLICIT.
I DIDN'T FILL OUT THE FORM BECAUSE I NEED THE PHONE.
YOU FILL IN THE BLANKS AND MAKE IT AS A MOTION.
I MOVED WHEN I MOVED, WE NOMINATE RICHARD RED FOOT.
IF I SAY NOMINATE, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.
SHOULD BE, WE'LL DO A POINT THEM TO THE, AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, ALL OPPOSED IS NO PENCIL.
ANYWAY, HE WANTS A DIFFERENCE.
KEEP US STRAIGHT VICKY RESUME.
[00:55:04]
NOBODY SPECIAL.I MEAN, I CAN MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ON THE ELECTRICAL BOARD, UH, MRS. MS. SYLVIA POTTER, AND WE AFFORD HER TO REPRESENT TOWNSHIP SIX SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, OPPOSED.
AND I SAID, OH, AND, UH, HAVEN'T MADE UP MY MIND.
YOU STILL THINK IT'S ALL RIGHT.
WELL, SHE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR US.
I'M NOT GOING TO NOMINATE MY OWN BROTHER TO A BOARD AND THE CIVIL SERVICE BOARD, LIKE, YEAH.
AND LOOK, IF CANADA CAN DO IT, I CAN DO IT.
AND I CHECKED OUT MR. WARD AND EVERYBODY ELSE, AND THIS IS KIND OF FUNNY, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, THE FAMILY I GREW UP IN, UH, SOLD A DIFFERENT FROM A LOT OF FOLKS THAT WERE KIND OF HARD EDIT INDIVIDUALS AND THAT KIND OF THING.
AND, AND, UH, WE DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO EACH OTHER.
AND THE, AND THE POINT BEING THAT INSTEAD OF HIM BEING ON A, ON A CIVIL SERVICE BOARD AND BEING MY INFLUENCE, HE'LL BE UNDER NOBODY'S INFLUENCE.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT MY APPOINTEE TO BE.
AND SO I ASKED HIM AND HE DIDN'T PARTICULARLY CARE TO BE ON IT, BUT, UH, I TOLD HIM IT WAS ABOUT TIME.
SOME FOLKS STEP FORTH AND CAME OUT OF THE WOODWORK AND DID THEIR SEVERAL DUTY.
SO I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE ONE OF MY BROTHERS AND AS JOHN BAYLESS, SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION OF THAT, I DID GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET HERE, HERE.
YOU STILL GOING BACK ON THE PHONE WITH A MOTION THEN ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
THE LADIES MUST AWARDS GOT, THERE'S ONE THING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT AND JUST TO PASS IT, WHICH I THINK IS INTERESTING IN CASE YOU FOLKS, DIDN'T READ ALL THE LITTLE REPORTS IN THE BACK OF THE FOLDER THAT PEOPLE ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT BEING NICE AND NEAT AND APPEARING JUST RIGHT.
THAT, UH, IN THE PARK IN RIVERSIDE, WHICH HASN'T BEEN NAMED MONK MALHEUR PARK IN RIVERSIDE, WHICH IS A SMALL PARK.
THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT WAS ASKED NOT TO MOW THE GRASS.
SO IT WOULD GROW A LITTLE HIGHER FOR AN EASTER EGG HUNT.
AND THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARE SO PROUD OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SOMEBODY MOWED THE GRASS AND HIT PARKS AND RECREATION PEOPLE.
I JUST THOUGHT THAT THAT IS PRETTY NEAT.
THE REST OF WAR, MAN MAMA'S BOARD.
I PASSED OUT HERE RESOLUTION BEFORE THE MEETING TONIGHT IT'S RESOLUTION WITH REALLY RECONFIRMS WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY DONE WITH RESPECT TO THE $5 MILLION LOAN OR I'M SO PROVEN, THIS ADDRESSES IT IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL.
THE FORM CAME IN WITH THE PACKET OF FORM FROM SOUTHERN NATIONAL LEASING CORPORATION, THE LENDING INSTITUTION, THAT'S MAKING THE LOAN.
AND THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THIS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN RESOLUTION, WHICH THE BOARD ADOPTED.
AND I WOULD ASK YOU TO ADOPT IT TONIGHT SO THAT WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE CLOSING.
YOU WILL HAVE TO CALL THE ROLL ON THAT ONE, I THINK.
LET'S GO TO THE MISCELLANEOUS AND START NOW MAN, WITH BARBARA.
SO THEY CAN'T BE SEEN FEEL SAFER, WHICH
[01:00:18]
I THINK YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS.UH, TODAY, STRANGELY ENOUGH, I WAS RIDING A BICYCLE, A LUNCH, AND THERE WERE A COUPLE OF YEARS PLAYING YOUNG MAN'S GIRLFRIEND WALKING AROUND.
THAT IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
IT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE PICNIC TABLES AND ALL OF THESE PARTS.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING LUNCHTIME.
AND MY CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY HAVE SAW THE CASE OF ALL OF THEM GLASSES BEING BROKEN.
AND THEY'RE GETTING READY TO ARREST YOU GENTLEMEN FOR DOING THAT.
THEY RELATE TO YOU STILL STUPID.
THEY'RE GOING TO GET SOME VERY UNHAPPY NEWS TOMORROW.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY THE REMINDER BORDER.
THAT FROM GEORGE LUMPKIN TO THE BOARD REGARDING YOUTH AND NEWBURN NIEPER RECREATION, I SPOKE WITH HIM REALLY.
AND I JUST USED THIS LED TO CORROBORATE MY STATEMENT THAT WE DO NEED TO ENHANCE OUR RECREATION FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS, IN THIS TOWN, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF JUVENILE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURRING FROM A NEW-BORN CHILDREN.
AND WHAT ELSE HAS TO ENHANCE THE RECREATION OF THE TEENAGERS IN THIS TOWN? YOU NEED TO PUT OUT SOME OF THE LIGHTS THAT YOU NEED.
I LIED TO CONGRATULATE MR. EVANDER, HOLYFIELD FOR PROVEN THAT GOOD GUYS CAN FINISH FIRST, RIGHT WRONG.
IT WAS A FIGHT, ALL THE APARTMENTS, ALL THE MISCELLANEOUS AND THAT LITTLE TINY, FINE PRINT DOWN.
WHAT DOES IT SAY? OH, YOU'VE GOT SOME DROP AT HOME.
WHAT IS IT? I HAVE TWO ITEMS. FIRST IS A RESOLUTION FOR YOU TO CONSIDER DENIED.
THIS IS I'D RATHER BE IT'S THAT WE RECEIVED OR LOWERING OUR WHALES TO MAKE THEM MORE PRODUCTIVE.
YOU'RE IN SUMMER MONTHS, FIFTH WHALE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE IN.
AND SO THIS, UH, WE WANT TO START WORKING RIGHT AWAY ON THIS SO THAT WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY.
WHAT CITY? THIS IS THE LOW BID THAT HAS COME IN BEFORE YOU, AND IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT WE ADOPT THIS SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS THING GOING.
SO WHEN YOU SAY LORE, YOU MEAN TO DIG, DIG DEEPER? NO.
IT'S TO LOWER THE, UH, MECHANISMS I SEE ON THE WAY UP DOWN TO A LOWER LEVEL, SORT OF LIFTED BETTER.
THEY LIKE THE SURFACE, THE GROUND LOOKING AT WELLS THIS PAST WINTER, WE WERE LOOKING AND SEEING THAT THE
WE GOT TO, TO BE ATTEMPTED TO GET FOUR MINUTES.
INDUSTRY IS JUST SO BUSY TO TAKE US FROM ALTERNATIVES.
[01:05:04]
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.THE LAST TIME I HAVE READING ON THAT WATER TABLE DROPPING.
THE GOOD THING IS OUR WELLS ARE CONSTRUCTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT WE HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF ABILITY TO
WELL, IF WE GOT ANY LEFT, IF WE COULD BE LOWER AGAIN, YES.
ANY OF HIS BROTHER DISCUSSION CALL THE ROLL THEM OUT.
MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I, I'M NOT GOING TO READ THIS TO YOU.
YOU HAVEN'T, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ, BUT I'LL JUST TOUCH ON A FEW HIGHLIGHTS.
THIS IT WON'T TAKE VERY LONG AND THEN YOU CAN ADJOURN.
UH, THIS IS THE BUDGET, THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR.
IT DOES NOT REFLECT ANY CHANGE IN ANY TAX RATE, EITHER FOR THE GENERAL FUND OR FOR THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE DISTRICT.
IT DOES HAVE ABOUT, I THINK ABOUT A FIVE, 4.9 4.8 TO 5% INCREASE.
I DID NOT ACTUALLY DO THE CALCULATIONS TO FIGURE HOW MUCH IT WAS.
A LOT OF THAT IS IN, UH, SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN GRANTS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PUT ON ALL THE NEW POLICE OFFICERS THAT WE HAVE APPROVED.
THERE WAS A GRANT IN THERE THAT WILL PURCHASE FIVE NEW POLICE CARS THAT WE'RE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE, WHICH MEANS THAT WE WON'T HAVE TO BUY AS MANY POLICE CARS THIS YEAR, AS WE HAVE IN PAST YEARS.
UH, IT DOES CONTAIN A 2.2, 5% COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR THE CITY'S EMPLOYEES.
THE, UH, REFU SPUN OR REFUSE PROGRAM IS IN THERE FOR WHOLE YEAR.
UH, LAST YEAR WAS ONLY IN THERE FOR 10 MONTHS.
THIS YEAR INCLUDES, UH, 12 MONTHS.
THERE IS NO INCREASE IN FEES FOR REFUSE.
THAT'S RECOMMENDED IN THIS BUDGET OTHER THAN FOR COMMERCIAL REFUSE.
AND AS THE TIPPING FEES GO UP AND COMMERCIAL JUST PAYS FOR ITSELF THAT JUST OFFSETS THE CITY STILL SUPPLEMENT SOME OF THE REFUGEE SERVICE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS.
UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET IS PROBABLY THE ONE THAT HAS INCREASED THE MOST.
AND AGAIN, IT GOES BACK AND REFLECTS AGAINST THE FUNDING THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED RECENTLY, UH, FOR THE VARIOUS GRANTS.
THE WATER FUND HAS AN INCREASE IN DEBT SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE ANTICIPATED MONEY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BORROW TO DO THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT'S NEEDED.
WE'RE STILL EXPERIENCING A COST INCREASE IN OUR WASTEWATER OPERATIONS FOR CHEMICALS AND OTHER TYPES OF THINGS, AS WELL AS TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PLANT IS KEPT IN COMPLIANCE, BUT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY INCREASE IN SEWER FEES THIS YEAR OR WATER FEES, UH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PRETREATMENT PROGRAM THAT'S PROGRAM THAT, UH, AT THE FIRST OF LAST YEAR, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE BUDGET, ONE OF THE GOALS THAT WE SET WAS TO ESTABLISH SOME CRITERIA WHERE THE PRETREATMENT PROGRAM WOULD BE A SELF-SUPPORTING PROGRAM FROM THE PEOPLE WHO UTILIZE IT.
AND SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING A SURCHARGE THERE.
THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT 85 CENTS PER A THOUSAND GALLONS ON THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE FOR THOSE INDUSTRIES THAT USE THE PRETREATMENT PROGRAM.
AND I THINK THERE'S ABOUT 10 AFFECTED IN THAT HOW MANY DAYS DID DAVID FATE? OKAY.
THE CITY'S ELECTRIC FUND, THERE IS NO INCREASE IN ELECTRIC RATES RECOMMENDED THIS YEAR.
I THINK WE WILL LOSE A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS THIS YEAR AND THE ELECTRIC FUND BASED ON OUR, UH, A VERY MILD WINTER THAT WE'VE HAD.
UH, WE MAY NOT, UH, WE'RE DOING SOME THINGS THAT WE HOPE WILL BRING US UP CLOSE TO, UH, AN EVEN LEVEL, BUT, UH, IT IS POSSIBLE WE WILL LOSE SOME, UH, WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING THAT WE BUDGET ANYTHING RIGHT NOW FOR THE REBATE PROGRAM THAT WE HAD IN LAST YEAR.
BUT IF THE REVENUES COME IN, UH, PICK BACK UP AGAIN, THEN I WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD AND I WILL STILL RECOMMEND THAT
[01:10:01]
THAT REBATE PROGRAM BE IMPLEMENTED.BUT THAT'S A DECISION YOU CAN MAKE LATER IN THE YEAR.
AND THE FLOATERS EITHER RECEIVED THE REBATE FROM THE WEATHER RATHER THAN THEY GOT THE REBATE FROM THE WEATHER THIS YEAR, I'D LIKE TO COMMEND THE ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR PEAK LOAD MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
THIS YEAR, WE HAD A GOAL THAT WAS SET UP 2000 DEVICES TO BE INSTALLED DURING THIS UPCOMING YEAR.
THERE HAD BEEN OVER 8,000 DEVICES INSTALLED DURING THIS YEAR, AND THAT IS TWICE AS MANY AS ALL THAT WE'VE HAD COMBINED IN PREVIOUS YEARS IN THE PAST HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
AND THAT HAS HAD A VERY SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON OUR PEAK AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE'RE HAVING TO PAY FOR ELECTRICITY, UH, TO THE POWER AGENCY.
ALSO THIS YEAR IN THE BUDGET, WE ARE GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT WE, UH, DO A, UH, INSTALLMENT PURCHASE ON ABOUT 1 MILLION, $800,000 WORTH OF GENERATORS.
THOSE GENERATORS, UH, WILL, UH, WHEN THEY ARE IN SERVICE AND WE WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE THEM IN SERVICE WITHIN NINE MONTHS, THAT THEY WILL, UH, GENERATE ENOUGH ELECTRICITY TO SAVE THE CITY ABOUT $62,000 A MONTH EVERY MONTH, ONCE THEY ARE IN SERVICE.
HOW MANY KW IS THAT? I BELIEVE IT IS THREE, RIGHT AT 3000.
IT SHOULD LOWER OUR POWER COST ABOUT $700,000 EVERY YEAR FROM THAT POINT OFF.
SO THERE'S ABOUT A LITTLE OVER TWO YEAR PAYBACK ON THAT SYSTEM.
I HAVE TAKEN THE LIBERTY TO RECOMMEND TO YOU TO ESTABLISH THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE BUDGET.
IT'S JUNE 27TH, WHICH IS OUR SECOND MEETING, UH, IN THE MONTH OF JUNE REGULAR MEETING, WHERE WE'LL HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING, THEN YOU CAN CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT TO ADOPT THIS AFTER YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO GO THROUGH, UH, I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON IT.
AND, UH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE PRESENTATION.
THE BUDGET IS, UH, IT'S A TIGHT BUDGET THIS YEAR IS THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM FOR LEEWAY, BUT, UH, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD BUDGET.
AND IF WE LIVE, IF WE JUST ARE CAREFUL, WE LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS PRETTY WELL.
WE WON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANYTHING.
I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE OR ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK AT THIS TIME.
IF THERE IS ANYTHING I'LL BE HAPPY TO RESPOND TO IT.
IS THERE ANY, ANY, UM, UM, FUNDS SET ASIDE FOR SWIMMING POOLS? WELL, I HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT WHERE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS.
IF THE BOARD DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO BUILD A PROJECT LIKE THAT.
I DID TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT, ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T RECOMMEND IT IN THE BUDGET, THAT IS A POLICY DECISION.
THE BOARD WOULD NEED TO MAKE, AND ONCE THEY MAKE IT, THEN I'LL GO OUT AND SEARCH FOR THE MONEY.
I THINK THAT IF WHATEVER THE BOARD DECIDES THAT THEY WANT TO DO, WE PROBABLY CAN DO THIS UPCOMING YEAR WITHIN REASONS.
WE WILL HAVE A NUMBER OF STATISTICS AND SOME OTHER INFORMATION THAT WE'VE GATHERED FROM OTHER PLACES ABOUT POOLS, THEIR OPERATION, THEIR COSTS, AND THIS KIND OF THING THAT WILL BE ON ITEM, A DISCUSSION.
I'M SURE AS THE BUDGET PROCEEDS AS YOU'RE WORKING ON IT TOGETHER, FARMERS' MUSEUM ENVIRONMENTS, MUSEUM.
WE NORMALLY FUND ENVIRONMENT'S MUSEUM ABOUT $21,000 A YEAR.
AND DEPENDING ON WHAT THE BOARD DECIDES TO DO, UH, WE WILL CHIP THAT MONEY OVER AND UTILIZE IT IN OTHER WAYS, IF IT'S NECESSARY.
AND THE FIREMAN MUSEUM ALSO TAKES IN SOME REVENUES THAT WOULD THEN BE AVAILABLE TO US IF WE DECIDED TO START OPERATING IN, IN SOME DIFFERENT WAY THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S IT AGAIN, I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T MAKE THOSE CHANGES IN ANTICIPATION OF JUST WAITING TO SEE WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO WHEN YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT, AND THEN WE'LL GET IN THERE AND MAKE THE CHANGE.
I IMAGINE THERE'LL BE A LOT OF QUESTIONS LATER ON, BUT THIS IS A LOT OF MATERIAL TO START GOING THROUGH.
ONE OTHER THING IS THAT I DIDN'T MENTION THIS AND I PROBABLY SHOULD, IS THAT IT DOES RECOMMEND SIX, UH, ADDITIONAL, UH, MEMBERS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO BE PICKED UP IN, UH, JANUARY TO INCREASE THE CAPABILITIES OF THE EXISTING SERVICES FULL-TIME SERVICE.
THEN WE HAVE FRED AND POLISHER.
THAT WILL ALSO BE AN AUTOMOTIVE DISCUSSION, BUT IT IS, IT IS A BUDGET RELIC MC MOST WE ADJOURN ALL IN FAVOR OF THE JOURNEY AND SAY THE EXTRA SET OF BOXING GLOVES.
