WE WOULD LIKE TO OPEN TONIGHT, FIRST OF ALL, PRAYER BY THE REVEREND BROAD STREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

AND WE WOULD ASK THEM THAT YOU REMAIN STANDING FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG.

GREG IS NOW THE PASSWORD, THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND WESTERN SITE.

MY NAME IS JOHNNY PHILLIPS.

MADAM CLERK.

WOULD YOU MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGE TRIAL PERSPECTIVE PRAYERS, AND WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

IF YOU WOULD SPEND TO THE BUDDY, SHALL WE BOW OUR HEADS, PLEASE? HEAVENLY FATHER BLESS US IN ALL OF OUR ENDEAVORS THAT WITH LOVING CONCERNED FOR ALL, WE MIGHT EACH DAY WORK TOWARD IMPROVING OUR COMMUNITY AND THE LIVES OF ITS CITIZENS, WHERE WE MAKE THIS PRAYER IN THE NAME OF CHRIST.

AMEN.

TO APPLY FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE.

UM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA TO PRESENT ON THE RESOLUTIONS TO POLICE OFFICERS.

AND I WOULD BE VERY, VERY GLAD TO DO THAT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO READ, FIRST OF ALL, THIS COPY OF WHICH I HAVE IN MY HAND, AND THEN I WILL MAKE THE OFFICIAL PRESENTATION RESOLUTION.

WHEREAS CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER FOR DAVID KACZYNSKI FOR RESCUING US CITIZEN FROM THE WATERS OFF THE NEUSE RIVER.

AND WHEREAS DAVID , HE SHOWED A SKILLFUL AND QUICK RESPONSE TO DANGER AND KNOWLEDGE ON LIFESAVING.

AND WHEREAS THIS COURAGEOUS ACTION, EVEN THOUGH A TRAGIC LOSS OF THE FAMILY, IT WAS AN ACT OF HEROISM WHICH DESERVES SPECIAL RECOGNITION BY THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THIS CITY.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE NEWBERN BOARD OF ALDERMAN, THAT THE SINCERE APPRECIATION OF HOW THE GOVERNING BOARD AND ALL THE CITIZENS OF OUR CITY ARE HEREBY EXTENDED TO DAVID FOR HIS HEROIC ADOPTED THIS THE 23RD DAY OF MAY, 1995 SIGNED MAYOR, TOM A PLAYLIST.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT OFFICERS WILL RECEIVE AN IDENTICAL CERTIFICATE FOR THEIR ACTION AND DIVING IN THE MOOSE RIVER AND PULLING A MAN FROM THAT RIVER.

AND ALSO BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST DOGGONE GOOD OFFICERS, AND WE'RE JUST THRILLED TO DEATH TO HAVE YOU WITH US HERE FOR THESE RESOLUTIONS TONIGHT AND WISH WE HAD MORE OFFICERS LIKE YOU, TWO GENTLEMEN, WE DIDN'T HAVE MANY GOOD OFFICERS.

THIS IS SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR YOUR HEROISM.

THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA REQUEST AND PETITION OF CITIZENS.

AND WE HAVE ONE LADY WHO SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED TO BE ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.

UM, THE BUILDING IS WORKING ALL THE TIME.

WE'LL BE HERE.

SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE HERE.

OKAY.

SO SINCE SHE IS NOT HERE, ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BRING ANYTHING BEFORE THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN IS WELCOME TO COME TO THE PODIUM, GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

BILL HARPER, MEXICAN IMPORTS, NEWBURGH OUGHT TO APOLOGIZE TO THESE TWO GENTLEMEN FOR CHANGING THE TUNE OF THE MEETING WHILE I WAS IN MEXICO, I TOLD HIM, MR. DON MCNELL AND I WAS GOING TO BE UNABLE TO ATTEND THE NEXT MEETING.

AND HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE MEETING ON THE PROTEST AND THE PERMIT THING DONE WHILE I, YOU KNOW, WAIT UNTIL I GET BACK.

I SAID, WELL, I COULDN'T COME TO THE NEXT ONE.

SO ANYWAY, THEN AS I LEFT, I GUESS

[00:05:01]

HE PUT IT ON THE AGENDA AND THAT KIND OF LEFT ME FEELING BAD BECAUSE I HAD A FEW THINGS I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT IT AGAIN, I'LL STATE MY CLAIM AND THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.

ALSO HOW STAKE MY CLAIM, THAT IT'S UNFAIR FOR IT TO TAKE MORE TIME IN NEWBURN TO GET A PREMIERE THAN IT DOES IN THE STATE CAPITOL RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA.

WHEN WE ALSO HAVE MORE PROTESTS HERE, THEN I GUESS ANY CAPITAL OR ANY COUNTY IN THE STATE EXCEPT ROCK.

AND WE HAVE MORE TO PROTEST FOR HERE, I THINK JUST TYPE GOVERNMENT.

SO I'M GOING TO SAY, I HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T OCCASION DOESN'T ARISE TO MAKE ME BE TEMPTED TO PROTEST BEFORE THE TIME IS REQUIRED FOR ME TO SPEND ON MY WAY TO.

AND I SAY THAT IN ALL SINCERITY, BECAUSE I'VE TRIED TO BE FAIR.

NOW THAT I HAVE BEEN SHOWN THAT I, UH, DON'T KNOW MOUTH TO A HILL OF BEANS AND I WILL DO WHAT EVERYBODY SAYS.

THERE'S SOMETHING I LIKE TO BRING OUT.

AND THAT'S THE HIRING PROCESS FOR CITY JOBS.

I SEE A VERY INTERESTING THING HERE IN THE RECTOR RECENT DEPARTMENT.

DOES ANYBODY IN HERE HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG MR. PENDLETON'S WIFE HAS WORKED AT THE NEWBURN RECREATION OFFICE OR CENTER? WHEN WAS THAT CHANGE MADE TO COUPLE OF THREE MONTHS AGO? A COUPLE OF FOUR MONTHS AGO.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE EXACT TIME IT'S BEEN FITTED A MINUTE, TWO MONTHS AGO.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN AN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT TO THE SUPERVISOR AT THE RECREATION FOR THE CITY OF NEWBURGH? REALLY? I THINK RICK WILL.

AND G THE WAY, IF YOU COULD COME BACK FROM BEGA DONE, HE'S NOT HERE.

RICK WANTED YOU TO BE HERE WHEN HE WAS HERE.

WELL, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE.

I WANTED TO BE HERE WHEN Y'ALL HAD MOMMY.

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO, I CALLED YOU, YOU SAID, GO AHEAD AND DO IT.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

UM, NO, I SAID THAT I WOULDN'T BE HERE FOR IT.

YEAH.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH PLANNING IT TOOK TO WAIT UNTIL YOU WENT TO MEXICO TO GET THAT.

AND THEY NEEDED A UNDERSTAND.

ANYWAY, I ALSO ASKED FOR INFORMATION ON HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE I APPLIED FOR THAT JOB.

AND I WAS TOLD THAT WAS SECRET INFORMATION.

SO AGNES, IT'S UP TO ME WHEN SOMEBODY WON'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER TO ASSUME HOW MANY PEOPLE APPLIED AND IT'S UP TO ME TO ASSUME BEING NOBODY WON'T TELL ME JUST HOW THAT JOB COME ABOUT.

JUST HOW THAT JOB COMING BACK.

I THINK HE HAD TO BE MARRIED TO ANOTHER ONE.

YEAH.

PEOPLE THINK I COMPLAIN ALL.

I WANT Y'ALL TO KNOW SOMETHING.

I COME UP HERE TO TALK ABOUT ONE PIECE IN THIS THING.

I WANT YOU TO NOTICE A LOT OF STUFF RIGHT HERE.

I SEE THAT IS TO BE TALKED ABOUT, BUT I'M GOING TO LET SAY THAT TO ANOTHER DAY, BEING ZOMBIE AND USED THE WAY I'M HERE.

I'M GOING TO ASK YOU AGAIN TO CONSIDER THE CHANGING OF THE PROTEST PERMIT.

YEAH.

I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

NO ONE ELSE LIKES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD ON ANY SUBJECT.

UH, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.

I REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE COMING DOWN HERE TONIGHT, BUT I WANT TO KNOW THAT WHEN THERE'S A CRISIS IN THIS CITY, WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO CONTACT WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS AND I NEED SOME ASSISTANCE FROM THE CITY OF NEWBURGH, WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO CALL LAST WEEK, RUN OUT TO THE STORM.

THIS CABLE WIRE FELL ACROSS MY YARD.

I UNDERSTAND IT'S A SECONDARY WHY, BUT I DON'T KNOW A SECONDARY WHILE I'M ALIVE WHILE

[00:10:01]

I COME HOME AND FIND, THIS IS WHY IN MY YARD, I'D GET ON THE PHONE.

AND I CALL THE FIRST CALL I TRIED TO MAKE WAS TO THE MARINE, USED TO CALL.

I COULDN'T GET NOTHING THERE FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR.

THE NEXT CALL I MADE WAS TO THE CITY MANAGER'S HOUSE.

I GOT THE MACHINE.

I LEFT A MESSAGE TO JUST SAY, I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM CITY MANAGER.

I ALSO CALLED THE DIRECTOR OF, OF UTILITIES.

I LEFT A MESSAGE THERE.

WELL, AFTER THAT, I WENT INTO MY ROOM, UH, TO TURN THE CABLE, TURNED MY CABLE ON.

THAT WAS NOTHING.

JUST SNOW ON EVERY CHANNEL.

WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

SO I CALLED THE CABLE COMPANY.

I WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT THEY HAVE TO SEND SOMEBODY OUT GOOD AND THEY STAY TO REPAIR IT.

SO WITH THIS, I WAS WITHOUT CABLE ALL NIGHT.

THE NEXT MORNING I GET OFF AND I CALLED, I CALLED DOWN HERE TO SIT HER HALL, THE CITY MANAGER'S NOT HERE.

I CALLED THE MAYOR.

THE MAYOR IS OUT OF TOWN.

I CALL HIM WAS THE POCKET HE'S OUT OF TOWN.

SO I CALLED HIM AND I HAVE A PROBLEM.

IF THERE WAS NOBODY THERE TO ASSIST ME ACCOMPANY AND GIVE ME HELP WHEN I NEED IT.

WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO CALL? AND AFTER THAT, I CALLED THE CABLE COMPANY.

AGAIN, I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES THAT THEY'D GET SOMEBODY OUT THERE SOMETIME THEY DIDN'T KNOW HIM.

SO I WOULDN'T ACCEPT THAT.

I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE VIA DIRECTOR OUT THERE, THE MANAGER, WHOEVER MR. THE ARRIVAL, I SPOKE WITH HIM.

AND HE WAS VERY COURTEOUS TO ME.

I TOLD HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

AND I ASSUMED THAT BECAUSE THE CITY OF NEWBURGH WAS ON THE OTHER STREET, TAKING CARE OF SOME WIVES THAT HAD FALLEN OVER THERE, JUST IN DOING SO THEY INTERRUPTED MY SERVICE FROM THE CAPE.

SO HE SENT SOMEBODY OUT TO FIX IT RIGHT AWAY.

BUT THE POINT IS, WHENEVER SOMETHING HAPPENS, THERE'S NEVER NOBODY TO, YOU KNOW, THAT I CAN CALL THAT CAN COME AND TAKE CARE OF POP.

NOW, IF THE CITY OF NEWBURGH CAN'T GO OUT AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITHOUT DISTURBING OTHER THINGS AND DISRUPTING WISE, WHICH THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME.

IT HAPPENED IN JANUARY WHEN THE STORM CAME THROUGH AND BLEW A TREE THAT THEY, THEY, THEY COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT THOSE TREE LIMBS OFF OF MY CABLE, BUT THEY CHOSE NOT TO DO IT.

AND THE PERSON WORKING ON THE TRUCK TOLD ME THAT HE HAD TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS EMPLOYEES.

AND I TOLD HIM HE HAD NO RIGHT TO CUT MY CABLE.

UH, HE HAD ALL THIS EQUIPMENT ON THIS TRUCK.

THEY COULD HAVE SWUNG IT AROUND AND GOT THE TREE OFF THE, OFF THE CABLE WITHOUT DAMAGING MY CABLE.

BUT I DIDN'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT.

CAUSE I CALLED THE COMPANY.

I THINK IT'S TRUE TRIMMING AND TALKING TO SOMEBODY AND I REPORTED IT.

SO THEN I CALLED THE CABLE COMPANY.

THEY CAME UP AND FIX IT.

SO I ASSUME THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED THEN HAD HAPPENED AGAIN.

AND THIS IS FINE.

I FEEL THAT COULDA SAID IT, UH, GOES OUT IN A DEPARTMENT, GOES OUT TO DO WHAT ELSE DO THEY HAVE TO DO THAT? SHOULDN'T DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO WITHOUT INTERRUPTING SOMETHING ELSE.

NOW, ANOTHER THING I WANT TO KNOW WHY MY GARBAGE WASN'T PICKED UP TODAY.

I PUT IT OUT ON THE STREET AND IT'S STILL SITTING THERE.

I JUST HAPPENED TO STOP, TO ROLL THE CAR IN.

AND I LOOKED, THE GARBAGE IS STILL IN THERE.

NOW WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT WOULD LIE WITH ARS.

IF YOU CAN'T GET SATISFACTION THERE, YOU PLEASE CALL MR. DANNY MEADOWS THERE.

AND HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT.

AND IT SAYS NOTHING TO DO WITH PICKING UP THE TRASH.

THE LAST TIME I CALLED ARS, THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THE PUBLIC WORKS.

WELL, I HOPE HE WILL SEND SOMEBODY OUT THERE TO PICK IT UP BECAUSE OF US.

AND , I HOPE NOT BECAUSE IN MY YOUNG BOY NOW, ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO KNOW.

IT'S FUNNY YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THE AREA DOWN THERE, WHERE THE COSTS CONTINUE TO COME DOWN AND TURN AROUND.

WHEN NO ROOM FOR THEM TO TURN, THEY CONTINUE TO DAMAGE MY PROPERTY.

I COULDN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL THE CITY LETS ME KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT AREA DOWN.

[00:15:08]

UH KNOW.

YEAH.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE TOLD ME, BUT IT'S NOT ME FOR ME TO GO BACK THERE AND REPAIR ALL THE SHOPS.

NOW.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE WHEN THE CENTER SHOULD MAKE OH, THERE .

YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO DO IT.

YOU THIS IN BELLA AREAS, I FIND THAT THE SUPPORT GOING HOME ALL THE TIME AND LIKING ALL MY FRIENDS, THAT'S ALWAYS SOME, UH, WORK GOING ON STREETS BEING RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, REPAY IS UP THERE ON WASHINGTON STREET HAS BEEN REPAID, BUT YET THEY CAN'T SPEND THE MONEY TO COME DOWN THERE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM DOWN THERE ON COLLEGE STREET.

AND I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT, WELL, MADAM, MR. MEADOWS WAS ATTEMPTING TO ANSWER YOU.

IF YOU WOULD LET HIM FINISH HIS ANSWER THAT WE MIGHT HELP.

MR. MEADOWS WAS SPEAKING.

HE SAYS, IT'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE.

AND I KNOW THAT SUFFERING AND GENTLEMEN, NEXT, YOU AGREED THAT HE WOULD BE A POSSIBLE POSSIBLE THIS IS RANDOLPH.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF TIME BECAUSE THIS IS TURNING INTO AN ARGUMENT AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE AN ARGUMENT IN HERE.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, YOU WOULD PLEASE LET THE GENTLEMAN COMPLETE HIS SPEECH.

AND MR. PARR HAM WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS POINT, BUT WE WILL NOT HAVE AN ARGUMENT HERE ON THE FLOOR AS FAR.

NAH, THE LAST TIME HIS RANDOLPH WAS HERE, SHE MADE, MADE THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT.

AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN THE VERY NEXT MORNING, DANNY AND I WENT OUT THERE AND LOOKED AT THE PROJECT AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS MS. RANDOLPH, IF DELL, IF WE EXTENDED THE STREET RIGHT TO THE EDGE OF THE POND, TO THE, TO THE CREEK OF WHATEVER IT IS, THE, THE AREA WILL STILL BE THE SAME WITH AN ACTUAL STREET, MEANING THAT YOU COULD NOT MAKE A TURNAROUND FOR IT TO BE A TURNAROUND.

AND FOR IT TO BE FAIR FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER HERE AND YOU, THEN THERE WILL HAVE TO BE A RIDE AWAY GIVEN TO THE CITY SO THAT IT CAN BE A CIRCLE EXTENDED OUT THERE.

THAT MEANS IT WOULD BE PART OF YOUR PROPERTY AND PART OF THE OTHER GENTLEMAN'S PROVIDENCE.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, VAST THE WAY IT WILL BE DONE IF IT WAS BEING DONE FANG.

BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT IT DONE FAIR, THEN THE GENTLEMAN ON THE OTHER SIDE WOULD HAVE TO GIVE UP SOME OF HIS PROPERTY, MORE OF HIS PROPERTY TO CREATE A TURNAROUND, HUH? HE WOULD COME OFF AND LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT AND HOW IT CAN BE DONE.

BUT I DON'T SEE ANYBODY, ANYTHING TO ME, MS. RHONDA, IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN TO ME, IF YOU PUT, IF YOU, IF YOU TAKE THAT STREET AND EXTEND IT ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE OF THE POND, THE CREEK, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CREATE A TURNAROUND THERE WITHOUT INTRUDING ON THE OTHER GENTLEMAN'S PROPERTY OR YOUR PROPERTY? IF YOU, IF YOU EXTEND THE STREET, THIS IS THE STREET I'M TALKING ABOUT THE STOCK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TREE.

IF YOU WOULD EXTENDED SITE, THIS IS, THIS IS MY DRIVEWAY EXTENDED PAST THE FAIR ENOUGH FOR THEM TO GO DOWN THERE AND BACK UP AND TURN AROUND.

AND NOT ONLY THAT MAINTAIN THAT HERE, KEEP THAT GRASS AND STUFF.

CAUSE IT WOULDN'T, IT WOULDN'T MATTER THAT MUCH.

BUT I THOUGHT I DON'T WANT TO GO IN THERE AND TURN AROUND HIM A WHOLE LOT OF WEEK.

NOW I KNOW THAT THAT

[00:20:01]

COULD BE DONE WELL, WHAT'D YOU WHAT'D YOU JUST SAY MS. RANDOLPH IS TAKE TO THE, TO THE END OF THE ROAD SO THEY CAN BACK UP.

AND IN OTHER WORDS, WE JUST, WE JUST, WE JUST EXTENDED IT DOWN HERE, BUT THAT WOULDN'T BE THE PROPER WAY, THE PROPER WAY TO MAKE A SETTING.

JUST GOING INTO THE ROOM, I SUPPOSE TO DO MR. MIRANDA, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT RIGHT THE RIGHT WAY, WE'LL HAVE A CIRCLE SO THEY CAN GO DOWN AND JUST TURN AROUND.

THAT WOULD BE THE PROPER WAY.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE IN THIS TOWN YOU LIVE IN.

YES.

MR. FREEZE.

WE'RE NOT, I'M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND ARGUE WITH YOU, BUT YOU INCORRECT BY SAYING THINGS ARE BEING DONE BY STREETS, BY WARDS, BY WHERE YOU LIVE.

THAT IS IN CO-REC.

IT IS MRS. RANDOLPH.

YOU ARE NOW OUT OF ORDER.

I WOULD REQUEST THAT THE CITY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR GO TO THAT SITE, LOOK AT THE PROPERTY AND BRING BACK TO THIS BOARD AT THE NEXT MEETING, A PLAT, ALL THAT PROPERTY DRAWN ON IT.

EXACTLY WHAT SHE WOULD LIKE SO THAT WE CAN SEE WITHOUT HAVING THIS ARGUMENT CONTINUE ANY FURTHER.

THIS SUBJECT FOR TONIGHT IS CLOSED.

MR. MR. MEADOWS, WELCOME.

MR. MEADOWS WILL COME TO YOUR PROPERTY.

HE WILL WALK THAT PROPERTY WITH YOU.

HE WILL GET THE PROPERTY PLANT AND HE WILL DRAW IN WHAT YOU HAVE IN MIND AND BRING IT BACK TO THIS BOARD TO LOOK AT IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ANYTHING TO BRING BEFORE THE BOARD, THIS IS THE TIME.

OKAY.

IT APPEARS THAT WE'RE THROUGH WITH THE REQUEST AND PETITIONS OF CITIZENS, ITEM, NUMBER FIVE, PUBLIC HEARING ON TAXI FRANCHISE RENEWALS.

WE SHOULD TAKE THESE INDIVIDUALLY OR HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO IT.

OKAY.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPENED ON THE, UH, TAXI FRANCHISE RENEWALS.

ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND DISCUSS ANY ONE OF THESE RENEWALS.

LET ME SEE WHICH ONES WE HAVE.

WE HAVE A COMPLETE LIST OUT IN THE WRONG PLACE.

ALL RIGHT.

UH, KENNETH ALLEN FOR THREE TAXES.

THOMAS COX, THE ONE WILLIAM DOVE FOR FIVE MARY DOWNS, ONE AND WILLIE FRANKLIN ONE JMC HARRIS, ONE WILLIE, NEW KIRK NINE, GEORGE SLAVE EIGHT CLARENCE SQUIRE'S THREE AND OLDEST TURNAGE.

NUMBER THREE.

LET'S TAKE THEM IN ORDER.

IS ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE, UH, UH, PERTAINING TO KENNETH ALLEN'S REQUESTS FOR RENEWAL OF A PERMIT FOR THREE B WOULD COME TO THE PODIUM AND GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? MY NAME IS HOWARD MILE GENERAL MANAGER, SAFEWAY CAB.

AND, UH, I HAVE HERE PETITION FROM THE OWNER OF SAFEWAY, ASKED ME TO COME DOWN AND HER, UH, BEHALF, SOME INCIDENTS THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AND THE OPERATION OF OUR FRANCHISE.

UH, SHE HAS UPON MY ADVICE.

I KNOW SHE HAS DIRECTED QUESTIONS TO THE CITY ATTORNEY.

I WASN'T, SHE WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE SLATE, WHICH IS HARDWORKING WOMAN.

SHE IS EXTREMELY ILL AND SHE HAS GONE THROUGH A LOT WITH SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE IN OUR HAD FORMERLY WORKED FOR US WITH DAMNING THE RADIOS.

EXCUSE ME.

SO JUST A MOMENT.

WE ARE NOW ENGAGED IN A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE RENEWAL OF THESE FRANCHISES.

AND I UNDERSTAND THIS IS MORE OF A PERSONAL DISPUTE BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT CAB OWNERS.

DOES IT HAVE A DIRECT BEARING ON THIS FRANCHISE REQUEST? NO, THIS, THE CITY ATTORNEY SAYS THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS A PROBLEM BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE OVER THEIR OPERATION.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REISSUING OF THE FRANCHISE AND REISSUANCE OF THE FRANCHISE IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AT THIS TIME DISCUSSION, THIS, UH, DISPUTES BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT OWNERS OF KHAKI TAXI CAB COMPANIES WOULD NOT HAVE A BEARING ON THIS AT THIS TIME.

WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO ADDRESS ANY DISPUTE.

WE ARE TRYING TO SEE IF THE CITY, AS IT WOULD MAKE, DID HELP MAKE THE ORDINANCE TO ADDRESS THESE

[00:25:01]

PARTICULAR THINGS.

BECAUSE AT ONE TIME YOU HAD NO ORDINANCE HERE GOVERNING THE CITY ITSELF.

AND THAT WAS PART OF THAT.

GETTING IT SET UP WITH CITY.

DID YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THESE APPLICANTS? UH, HAVING THEIR FRANCHISE? WE KNEW PERSONALITY, BUT I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE MY LATER AT A LATER TIME.

BUT NOT TONIGHT, NOT NOW.

I NOT FEEL THAT.

I FEEL THAT THE ISSUE, WHICH CURRENT CONCERNS YOU SHOULD BE DISCUSSED WITH THE CHIEF OF POLICE RATHER THAN AT THE FIRST.

AND IF YOU CANNOT GET SOME SORT OF A SETTLEMENT, THEY ARE, PERHAPS WE COULD TAKE IT OUT.

FIRST OF ALL, POLICE HAVE BEEN CALLED, HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN TAPES AND IT HAS BROUGHT TO THE POTENTIAL OF A POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE HAVE NOT, WE HAVE A TRUSTED THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS.

WE SAID THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE IT.

THIS IS THE PROPER PLACE.

SINCE YOU ISSUED THE PERMITS AND YOU COLLECT THE FEES FOR ALL THE OPERATION, THE TECH HAD DONE THAT SOSA.

THAT IS CORRECT, BUT THIS DEALS ONLY WITH THE LEGALITIES, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO OPERATE A CAB.

IT DOES NOT DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT TWO CAB OWNERS ARE HAVING A DISPUTE ABOUT OPERATIONS.

EXCUSE ME, MR. PARHAM IS NEXT.

HE INDICATED HE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

NOW THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD AND I WILL MAKE IT A NOTE HERE IS THAT, UH, FROM THE CHIEF, HIS LAST STATEMENT WAS NO INFORMATION WAS DEVELOPED, WHICH WOULD PROHIBIT THE GRANT OF, OF, TO ANY OF THE APPLICANTS.

IF THERE ARE NO ONE THERE OPPOSING THE APPLICATIONS, UH, YOU KNOW, I'LL HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION.

WE HERE, WHO'S TELLING HIM I WAS TELLING THE PUBLIC HEARING, BUT IF NO ONE IS THERE TO OPPOSE ANY OF THE APPLICATIONS.

SO ARE YOU HERE TO OPPOSE ANY APPLICATION FOR A FRANCHISE? DO YOU OPPOSE ANYBODY GETTING A FRANCHISE? IS ANYONE OUT HERE OPPOSING ANYBODY GETTING A FRANCHISE THAT WAS READ, READ OUT BY ALMA PRO TEMP, A MAYOR PRO TEM HAD A FREEZE.

WELL, I'LL MOVE THE PUBLIC HERE AND BE CLOSED.

JUST A MOMENT.

MR. WARD WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS LETTER.

MAY I REMEMBER FOR THE COMMENT I WAS GOING TO MAKE WAS THE ONLY QUESTION BEFORE A BOARD TONIGHT IS WHETHER PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY REQUIRED THE ISSUANCE OF THE FRANCHISE ORDINANCE, THE DOCTRINE OF THE FRANCHISE OR THE AMOUNT OF WHICH THAT GENTLEMAN IS TRYING TO ADDRESS HIMSELF HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM.

THERE IS ONE ITEM THAT I WOULD LIKE ONE QUESTION I WOULD LIKE TO BRING IT WITH.

ONE OF THE APPS THAT'S FOREVER NOTICED, TURN INTO IF YOU COME FORWARD, SIR, IF YOU WOULD DISCUSS YOUR, THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH THE POLICE CHIEF AND SEE IF HE CAN RESOLVE IT FOR YOU.

I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A PROBLEM, BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT, I THINK WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS TO ADDRESS HIS LAWYER.

LET'S TURN IT INTO THE APPLICATION THAT YOU FILED FOR TAXI CAB FRANCHISE REFLECTS THAT YOU ARE IN A PARTNERSHIP WITH A WOMAN, MICHELLE LUCA, LUCA, MICHELLE LOOPER.

YOU CAME BY MY OFFICE.

YOU ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS NO PARTNERSHIP.

ALL THE APPLICATION THAT YOU FILED REFLECTED THAT THERE WAS ONE WHICH IS, WHICH IS THE CASE.

WELL, I DIDN'T QUITE HAVE THE RIGHT UNDERSTANDING ABOUT BEING A PARTNERSHIP OR SOMEONE THAT WE'RE HELPING SOMEONE WHEN THEY GOT INTO TYPE OF DOING THINGS.

SO THAT PARTNERSHIP WAS NOTIFYING THE BOARD.

LIKE I TOLD YOU THE OTHER DAY AND I WILL ADMISSION TO THE LETTER STATING THAT THAT NO PARTNERSHIP.

SO YOU STILL OWN THE BUSINESS AND TIRE.

YES, SIR.

WELL, YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE APPLICATION RATHER THAN THAT.

THERE IS A PARTNERSHIP.

I DO IT RIGHT.

NOT NECESSARILY.

SO I GOT TO DO IT.

CAN WE HIT APPLICATION IN THERE? OKAY.

OKAY.

I DO.

I HEAR A MOTION THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING, BUT WITH THE NECESSARY CHANGE OF MR. NEWKIRK'S APPLICATION NECESSARILY CHANGING MR. MS. THOMPSON, I'M SORRY.

I'M READING.

I'M READING THE NAMES OFF THE ORDINANCE.

RANT, THE APPLICATIONS FOR TAXI CAB FRANCHISES.

IT MUST BE ADOPTED ON TWO SEPARATE READINGS.

SO IT NEEDS TO BE VOTED ON TONIGHT.

AND AGAIN, THAT CAN MEETING, WE'LL HAVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ALL IN FAVOR OF CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING

[00:30:02]

I'LL POSE.

WE HAVE NOT OFFICIALLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

JUST KEEPING IT INFORMED.

OKAY.

THE ORDINANCES BEFORE YOU GO, I HEAR A MOTION.

SO MOONS ALL IN FAVOR OR WOULD NEED A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS, PLEASE? YES, YES, YES.

OH, BUT LISTEN, I JUST, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A FINAL NOTE, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT IF IN THE FUTURE, THERE IS ANY EVIDENCE THAT A CAB, A FRANCHISE OR THE OWNER OF THE CAB FRANCHISE IS ENGAGED IN ANY UNFAIR TRADE TACTICS.

YOU CAN, YOU WILL PROBABLY GOING TO LOSE YOUR FRANCHISE.

SO YOU NEED TO GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

AND HE SHOWED US IF YOU COME BEFORE THE BOARD AND IT CAN BE PROVED THAT YOU'RE ENGAGED IN ANY TYPE OF UNFAIR TACTICS, THEN I'M SURE THE MAJORITY IS GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT YOUR FRANCHISE REVOKED BECAUSE WE CAN'T TOLERATE THIS.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE DEALING WITH PETTY DISPUTES OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

YOU, AIN'T GOT A LITTLE BIT TRYING TO THROW OUT.

NO HINTS.

NORMALLY SPEAKS THE LOUDEST.

SO IF YOU'RE NOT GUILTY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING, WHATEVER YOU'RE SAYING.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE NO REVEREND TURNAGE CALM DOWN THAT WE HAVE APPROVED THIS ORDINANCE ON FIRST READING, PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEAT.

WE WILL NOT HAVE AN ARGUMENT IN THIS MEETING ROOM.

THIS MEETING WILL BE CARRIED ON WITH THE PROPER DECORUM, NO ARGUMENTS ITEM, NUMBER SIX, PUBLIC HEARING ON THE QUESTION OF AMENDING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF FIVE ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 5 55 HIGHWAY 55 WEST MODIFIED FROM A FIVE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO OUR 20 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

UM, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, MIKE, THIS IS A PIECE OF PROPERTY OWNED BY, UH, SARAH, WHY IT'S, UH, APPROXIMATELY FIVE ACRES IN SIZE.

SHE IS INTERESTED IN AND IN A LOT SO THAT, UH, UH, I BELIEVE A DAUGHTER CAN, UH, LOCATE A HOME THERE.

UM, BASED ON THE AVON STANDARDS, SHE DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE LOT SIZE, UH, TO CREATE THAT ADDITIONAL LOT.

UH, SHE HAS REQUESTED THAT THE PROPERTY BE, UH, RESEWN TO HER DAUGHTER.

UM, MS. FINANCE REQUESTED THAT THE PROPERTY BE REZONED ARE 20 TO ALLOW THAT ADDITIONAL LOT TO BE CREATED.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REVIEWED THIS REQUEST.

UM, PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THIS IS ZONE R 20, UH, THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA WITH THE WATER SEWER LINES GOING OUT THERE AND SO FORTH.

UH IS AN APPROPRIATE CLASSIFICATION.

THEREFORE, THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDED UNANIMOUSLY THAT THE, A REZONING REQUEST TO BE APPROVED, UH, TO OUR 20 RESIDENTIAL, NOT BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

YOU MAY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

OKAY.

ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? UH, WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE, GENTLEMEN? MOODLE ORDINANCE.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE SECOND THAT THE ORDINANCE BE ADOPTED AND MADAM CLERK, IF YOU WOULD CALL IN THE ROLE.

YES, YES, YES.

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, DISCUSS AN APPLICATION TO THE DIVISION OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT TO MAKE WATERFRONT WALKWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO UNION POINT YOUR MICROPHONE LIKE, UM, THIS IS THE AMP, UH, PROPOSAL THAT, UH, WAS DISCUSSED AT THE BUDGET HEARING.

UM, THE FIRST PART OF THIS MONTH, IT'S COMPRISES A WALKWAY TO BE CONSTRUCTED AROUND UNION POINT PART FROM THE TRENT RIVER BRIDGE UP TO THE CONFERENCE SUITES HOTEL, IT'S APPROXIMATELY 1300 FEET OF WALKWAY ADJACENT TO THE BULKHEADING THAT IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED THERE.

UM, WE SUBMITTED A PRE-APPLICATION TO THE COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT, UM, AGENCY.

UH, THEY, UH, UH, LOOK FAVORABLY UPON IT AND ASK US TO, UH, SUBMIT A FINAL APPLICATION, WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING THIS EVENING.

THE APPLICATION, UH, HAS A TOTAL BUDGET OF $112,000.

WE ARE ASKING FOR 53,550,

[00:35:04]

OR APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THAT, UH, FROM, UH, CAMMA HALF OF IT FROM THE CITY, UH, PLUS, UH, 5,000 IN, IN CON SERVICES THAT STAFF TIME THAT WE CAN CHARGE TO THE GRANT, BUT, UH, THE CITY WOULD BE PAYING FOR, UH, ANYWAY, AS A PART OF OUR REGULAR SALARIES, UH, AT THE BUDGET MEETING, THE BOARD EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR THE IDEA OF THE WALL BOY, BUT WANTED TO KNOW IF THE FUNDING COULD BE STRETCHED OVER INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR FOR BUDGETARY REASONS.

I SPOKE WITH THE CAMEL PLANNER ON THIS.

SHE STATED THAT IF WE WANTED TO SET IT UP WHERE WE WOULD BEGIN OUR PROJECT IN JULY OF 96, INSTEAD OF A 95, IF THAT WOULD WORK WITH THEM, SINCE THE PROGRAM WOULD GO THROUGH DECEMBER OF 96, ANYWAY, WE WOULD STILL HAVE THAT APPROXIMATE SIX MONTHS IN THERE IN WHICH TO DO IT.

SO IF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED WITH APPROVAL OF THIS, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU WOULD BE BUDGETING IT IN THE NEXT YEAR, THEN THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE WITH THE CAMEL ALSO.

AND I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THE IMPROVEMENTS.

BASICALLY, IT'S GOING TO BE A CONCRETE WALKWAY LANDING BRICK, UM, IT'S UM, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DESIGN THAT, UH, THE BOARD APPROVED BACK IN MAY OF 93, FOR THAT WALKWAY, THERE WERE TWO DESIGNS.

ONE WAS THE SCORED CONCRETE, AND THE OTHER WAS THE ACTUAL CONCRETE PAVERS AND THE SCORED CONCRETE, WE CAN DO MORE FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY, UH, FOOTAGE WISE.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS THIS A SCORED CONCRETE ON THIS, BUT IT'S A RELATIVELY SIMPLE, BUT STRAIGHTFORWARD DESIGN.

TOTAL COST IS WHAT TOTAL COST IS 112,100, UH, 5,000 THAT IS IN INCONTACT.

SO ACTUALLY A B 107,100 AND ACTUAL CASH YOU'RE REQUESTING IS, UH, HOW MUCH WHEN THE CITY, IF FROM THE CITY 53, 5 50, AND FROM CAMERA 53, 5 50, WE HAVE 50 50 MATCH.

WHERE, WHERE COULD THE PUBLIC SEE HAVE A PLAN ON THIS? IF THEY WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, JUST SAY, UH, THERE'S, THERE'S ONE IN MY OFFICE.

UH, IT'S THE PLAN THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 93, IT'S A COLORIZED VERSION.

UH, SO IT'S, UH, IT'S EASY TO FOLLOW.

PLUS WE HAVE ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE APPLICATION THAT WE SUBMITTED TO CAMMA, WHICH ALSO HAS MAPS AND EXPLAINS, UH, THE, UH, THE IMPROVEMENTS.

BUT FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN IS GOING TO MAKE A REALLY BEAUTIFUL ADDITION TO THE PARK AND WE'LL MAKE IT MORE CONVENIENT.

I I'VE HEARD SOME COMMENT EARLY ON THAT WE WERE TRYING TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM GOING THERE AND FISHING AND THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER, BUT THAT ACTUALLY WILL CREATE A BETTER SITUATION FOR PEOPLE WHO WISH TO GO DOWN THERE AND FISH, BECAUSE IT WILL BE SAFER WITH THE RAILING ALL THE WAY AROUND THERE WILL BE MORE ACCESS TO THE WATER.

AND I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT.

IT WILL ACTUALLY GET YOU CLOSER TO THE WATER BECAUSE YOU WON'T HAVE ALL THAT RIP RAP OUT IN FRONT OF YOU THAT YOU HAVE NOW.

PLUS, WE ARE KEEPING THE WOODEN PIERS THAT JUT OUT INTO THE RIVER.

WE'LL RECONNECT, UH, TO THOSE PEERS.

AND ONE REALLY NICE PART OF IT IS RIGHT AT THE POINT, THE WALKWAY BECOMES ABOUT 32 FEET ONE, AND THERE'S A SET OF STEPS.

IT TAKES YOU RIGHT DOWN TO THE WATER'S LEVEL.

SO YOU CAN SIT THERE ON THE STEPS AND HAVE YOUR LUNCH, OR, YOU KNOW, WATCH THE SUNSET OR WHATEVER WE WON'T DO.

IT GIVES YOU A LOT OF, UH, OPPORTUNITY TO SIT DOWN THERE AND BE CLOSE TO THE WATER.

NO, THE DEMAND IS HERE.

IF WE COMMIT TO THIS APPLICATION TONIGHT, ARE WE, IS THIS A BINDING AGREEMENT? CAN WE CHANGE OUR MIND IN THE FUTURE IF WE DECIDE, WELL, THIS IS NOT A PRIORITY BECAUSE MY ONLY, MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT TUB, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LUXURY TO HAVE A WALKWAY AROUND UNION POINT AND TO SPEND THIS $55,000, YOU KNOW, I WOULD RATHER MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AN ONGOING PROGRAM TO FIX EVERY SIDEWALK IN THE CITY.

THAT'S IN RUINED HIS CONDITION, BECAUSE NO SENSE IN TACKLING SOMETHING NEW AND LET YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE GO IN A STATE OF DISREPAIR.

SURE.

AND, UH, I JUST CAN'T SEE, UH, NEGLECTING SOUR WALKS ALL OVER THE CITY AND THEN HIM WALKING ON A NEW VENTURE.

IF WE GOT THIS KIND OF MONEY, THEN THAT MEANS EVERYTHING ELSE IS ALL RIGHT.

AND I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE NEIGHBORHOODS SIDEWALKS ARE FIXED UP ALL OVER THE CITY.

YEAH.

THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE APPLICATION TO THEM.

THEY HAVE TO COME BACK TO US AND TELL US THAT THEY APPROVE OUR APPLICATION AND THEN IT

[00:40:01]

COMES BACK TO ACTUALLY BE SIGNED.

SO, SO, SO YOU DO HAVE ADDITIONAL TIME ACTUALLY, PROBABLY NO.

WELL, WE, IT BACK AT WHICH SIDE AND THE KITCHEN, BUT THIS IS NOT A PRIORITY.

WE NEED TO DO THIS.

WE CAN BACK OUT.

OKAY.

THAT'S THE OTHER QUESTION.

ANYONE ELSE, ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE? I WOULD LIKE, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT AN, AN EXTRA AMOUNT OVER AND ABOVE OUR NORMAL SIDEWALK, MAINTENANCE FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,000 IS INCLUDED IN THE NEW BUDGET FOR INCREASED MAINTENANCE OFF SIDEWALKS.

THAT'S ALREADY IN THE COMING FISCAL YEAR'S BUDGET.

WELL, THAT'S YOUR FOR SMELLS AVENUE.

HOPEFULLY IT'S ACTUALLY NOT EARMARKED FOR ANYTHING.

YOUR DISPOSABLE JULIUS SMELLS TO AVENUE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT WAS SPECIFICALLY PUT IN THERE FOR.

BUT ANYWAY, WE'LL DEAL WITH THAT.

LATER ON, AS I WAS SAYING, THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL $25,000 IN THERE FOR MAINTENANCE, SIDEWALKS, WHEREVER THE NEED IS THE GREATEST.

IT IS NOT EARMARKED FOR ANY PART OF THE CITY.

WHY IS YOUR PLEASURE, GENTLEMEN? WE HAVE, UH, WE HAVE AN ITEM HERE.

WE NEED A MOTION THAT THE APPLICATION BRIEF AFFAIR OR SUBMITTED.

UM, SO WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE NEXT SENTENCE.

WE'RE WAITING EMOTIONS.

I KNEW THAT THE APPLICATION BE, UH, WHEN I MOVED UP, WE APPLIED FOR THE CAMERA.

I MOVED TO CITY APPLY FOR THE, UH, KAMILAH RANT ALL IN FAVOR, OPPOSED.

OKAY.

19 ANALYSTS.

AND NOW IT COMES TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE, GENTLEMEN, GOAL NUMBER NINE.

ANYTHING ELSE? EVERYTHING WE'LL ADOPT.

EVERYTHING IS SET NUMBER NINE, NINE TO 14.

I HAVE A SECOND.

SORRY.

ALL IN FAVOR.

OR DO WE NEED, WE NEED TO CALL A ROLL CALL ON THIS.

YES, YES, YES, YES.

I DON'T REMEMBER NINE.

NOT DISCUSSING.

WHEN IS IT? I HAD A HARD TIME FOLLOWING WHAT THIS WAS.

MA'AM I'M IN THE BOARD.

YOU'LL RECALL THE BOARD AUTHORIZED, THEY RECODIFICATION OF THE CITY CODE.

IT WAS REFERRED TO MUNICIPAL CODE CORPORATION ON THE CONTRACT.

UH, JAN, SHE KEPT HER, ONE OF THEIR SENIOR YESES CAME UP AND HE AND VICKY AND I SAT DOWN AND SPENT SUBSTANTIAL OR ONE DAY REVIEWING THE CODE AREAS, WHICH WERE OBSOLETE AREAS, WHICH HAD BEEN PREEMPTED BY STATE LAWS, SUCH AS THE BUILDING CODE PROVISIONS.

AND MANY HOURS WERE SPENT BY SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN IT.

AND THE CODE HAS NOW BEEN PRINTED.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL VISUAL WORK AND COPIES ARE IN VICKY'S OFFICE.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE ORDINANCE, WHICH I FORWARDED TO YOU TO TAKE PLACE.

THE ONE THAT THE NATIONAL CODE CORPORATION SUGGESTED, ALTHOUGH I USE THAT AS A MODEL AND IT'S THE SAME.

SO WHAT THIS ITEM WOULD DO WOULD BE TO ENACT CODE EFFECTIVE SO THAT ITS EFFECTIVE DATE WOULD BE ONE WEEK.

OKAY.

SO MOVE ADOPTED ORDINANCE AND NATIONAL NICOLE, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR CALL, WE NEED A ROLL CALL ON THIS.

CAN WE HELP HIM THIS DISCUSSION? I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT, A CERTAIN LIMIT.

I HAVE, UH, RECEIVED NUMEROUS INQUIRIES FROM LAWYERS, THE MAGISTRATES AND OTHER FOLKS REGARDING THE COST OF THIS COLD THAT THEY WERE WONDERING WHY IT COST.

I THINK, WHAT IS IT? $400.

WELL, YOU CAN BUY, YOU CAN BUY AN ENTIRE SET OF GENERAL STATUTES FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY.

WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY DOES IT COST SO MUCH? IS THAT THE PUBLISHING COMPANIES PRICE OR THAT'S OUR PRICE? AND THE REASON IS THAT COST US AROUND $30,000 TO HAVE THIS DONE.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO RECRUIT SOME OF OUR COSTS AND ALSO TO GET ENOUGH MONEY ASIDE THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE IT DONE AGAIN, WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO IT.

I, I DON'T WANT TO, UH, RAISE THIS ISSUE TONIGHT, BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE REDUCED SOMEWHAT, BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER.

JUST RAILWAY STATION.

WELL, WE GOT TO VOTE ON THIS ORDINANCE, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER, HE DOESN'T HAVE IT'S ANOTHER MATTER.

MADAM CLERK CALL THE ROLL.

YES, YES, YES.

YEAH.

APPOINTMENTS WITH MIGUEL.

YES.

I GAVE YOU, I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE PAPERWORK FOR ME.

[00:45:05]

AND UH, MY COLLEAGUE, MS. LEE REQUESTED THAT I PUT MS. PRICE'S NAME IN THE BRAIN FOR THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.

YOU, SO I SAT DOWN AS MOST.

OKAY.

THE MOTION AND SECOND HAS BEEN MADE, UH, THAT, UH, OR THE NOMINATION HAS BEEN PLACED ALL IN FAVOR OF APPOINTMENT OF MARJORIE PRICE TO THE HISTORIC HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.

SO SIGNIFY, UH, OPPOSED.

SO MOVED THAT IT FOR YOU DONE.

OKAY.

MR. REINER, THIS MISCELLANEOUS.

NOPE.

OH, THIS IS A POINT JULIUS.

NO.

OKAY.

I GOT IT.

I HAVE A NUMBER 16 MISCELLANEOUS.

AND JUST TO BE DIFFERENT, WE'LL START WITH JULIUS BECAUSE I CAN SEE ROBERT'S JUST ABOUT TO HAVE A FIT TO GET THERE.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING UNDER MISCELLANEOUS? NO.

ROBERT, NOPE.

I HAVE ONE IN, I GUESS ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS.

MY DAUGHTER WAS GOING TO GIVE ME MY FIRST GRANDCHILD.

I GOT TO BE A GRANDPA IN EIGHT MONTHS.

SO NOW I CAN GO SEE MY GRANDCHILDREN.

CONGRATULATIONS.

HE LEAVE ME SIX AHEAD OF YOU WHEN THEY'RE GETTING OLD.

UH, I BELIEVE MR. WARD HAS WHAT I HAVE ONE ITEM.

I PASSED OUT A COPY OF IT AND I WANT THIS TO MATCH SECTION NINE DASH 29, CITY ESTABLISHED SHADE AND 18TH DISTRICT IN WHICH FLAMMABLE COMBUSTIBLE, LIQUIDS AND PETROLEUM GASES MIGHT BE STOLEN.

THIS IS THE SITE OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND NATURAL RESOURCES, DIVISION OF FOREST RESOURCES LOCATED AT 38, 50 HIGHWAY 17 SOUTH FOUR HEADQUARTERS IN THE NORTH CAROLINA FIRE SERVICE.

AND THIS ADDRESSES AN AMENDMENT OF SECTION 9 29 OF THE CITY CODE.

THIS IS A REFERENCE TO THE SECTION IN THE OLD CODE, WHICH IS NOT BEING REPLACED UNTIL A WEEK FROM TODAY WITH THE NEW INAPPROPRIATE TO A MAN THAT WHICH WAS NOT YET EFFECTIVE.

SO I ADDRESSED IT IN TERMS THAT IT DEMANDS GEO CODE AND IT WILL BE PLACED IN THE NEW ONE SHORTLY.

YES.

UM, REALLY REPLAY OR APPROVE THE ORDINANCE ALL IN FAVOR.

OH, SORRY.

YEAH, I GOT SOME ON READINESS HERE.

HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO THEM AGAIN, WHY WE'RE CHANGING THIS? YOU'RE SENDING THE CODE.

WE HAVE 17 DIFFERENT DISTRICTS IN WHICH THE STORAGE OF THIS ADJUNCT 18.

SO AS TO ENABLE THEM FOR TRUCKS, OTHER VEHICLES ON THE PREMISES, 8.788.

YES, YES, YES, YES.

MR. ONE, MR. MENDEZ, WE HAD A MEETING THIS MORNING, ONLY 4TH OF JULY HAPPENINGS AND COMING FOR YOU TONIGHT TO MAKE A REQUEST THAT, UH, LAWSON CREEK PARK, THE SECTION BEYOND WHERE THE CREEK CROSSES, UH, THE ENTRANCE WAY BE CLOSED TO TRAFFIC.

THE ENTIRE DAY OF 4TH OF JULY, THE OTHER TWO BOAT RAMPS, THE NEWER BOAT RAMPS WILL BE OPEN.

THAT PARKING LOT WILL BE OPEN.

UH, BUT THE GENTLEMAN WHO IS FINE, THE FIREWORKS FOR SAFETY REASONS AND, UH, THE EASE OF SETTING UP THE SHOW WANTS TO CLOSE IT DOWN AT THAT POINT.

SO FOR THE WHOLE DAY, FOR THE WHOLE DAY, YES, IT TAKES A WHILE TO TAKE HIM ALL DAY TO SET IT.

WE CLOSED IT LAST YEAR FOR THE OTHER GYM.

WE HAVE ALWAYS CLOSED, UH, THE LOOP SECTION, BUT WE HAVE ALLOWED THE MAIN ROAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE RAMP TO

[00:50:01]

REMAIN OPEN.

THIS YEAR, WE WILL CHANGE OR WE'RE REQUESTING TO CHANGE.

IT WILL BE CLOSED AT AS THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH THE BOATS THAT TIME OF YEAR.

WELL THERE'S TWO ELBOW GRAMPS STILL GOING TO BE OUT.

I, THE FIREWORKS FROM DIFFERENT LOCATION THIS YEAR AND THEY HAVE IN THE PAST, IT'S GOING TO BE BACK THERE IN THAT PARKING LOT WHERE THE RAMPS, WELL, THAT WOULD BE THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION.

I WAS WONDERING WHY THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT FROM LAST YEAR TO MOVIE FROM JACK'S ISLAND TO PAGE SECTION, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ORCHESTRATED, UH, AFFAIR MUSIC SOUND THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.

SO IF IT WORKS, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GREAT.

AND CAN YOU TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT ALL THE BOAT RAMPS AT UNION POINT ARE STILL GOING TO BE AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME? THEY WILL BE OKAY.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO START ANY WORK DOWN THERE.

SO THEY WILL HAVE THREE RAMPS AT UNION POINT, PLUS THE NEWER RAMPS AT LOSS AND CREEK PLUS GLEN BURNIE, PARKLAND.

OKAY.

WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE GENTLEMEN? SO MOVING ZACK ALL IN FAVOR, OPPOSED ANYONE ELSE? OKAY.

NO MATTER WHAT.

WELL, WELL, OKAY.

IN JUST A MOMENT, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, I APOLOGIZE FOR GAVELING DOWN A COUPLE OF PEOPLE TONIGHT, THEN CALLING THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER, BUT IT DISTURBS ME SOMETIMES WHEN I SEE CITY MEETINGS OR ANY GOVERNMENTAL MEETING BECOME A SHOUTING MATCH.

THAT IS NOT THE WAY ADULTS SOLVE PROBLEMS. IF SOMEONE COMES BEFORE US WITH A PROBLEM, WE WILL DO OUR UTMOST TO SOLVE IT IN A LOGICAL SENSIBLE MANNER.

AND IF IT IS WITHIN MY POWER, I WILL NOT ALLOW THE MEETINGS TO DEGENERATE IN THE NAME, CALLING THE FOOT STOMPING AND SHOUTING.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HERE WHO BROUGHT PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS BOARD TONIGHT.

ONE OF THEM IS WITH THE CITY AND WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL, EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED IN THAT CASE AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS WITHIN THE REALM OF THE CITY'S DUTIES TO DO THAT.

AND WE WILL, WE WILL FIND THAT OUT BY THE NEXT MEETING.

AND WE WILL HEAR THAT AT THE NEXT MEETING.

THE SECOND ONE IS A MATTER OF PERSONALITIES AND PERSONAL CONFLICT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE WHO OWN THE CAB COMPANIES.

AND THAT IS A MATTER FOR THEIR LAWYER.

IT IS NOT A MATTER FOR THEM TO STAND HERE AND INSTALLED THEM FUSS AT THE CITY BOARD ABOUT, AND THE CITY BOARD IS NOT INVOLVED IN THAT DISPUTE.

AND THAT IS WHY I DID NOT ALLOW IT TO GO ANY FURTHER.

MY APOLOGIES IF I HAVE OFFENDED ANYONE, BUT THIS IS A CITY ORGANIZATION.

THIS IS A, AN ARM OF GOVERNMENT.

WE WERE ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE TO CONDUCT THESE MEETINGS WITH PROPER SENSE OF DECORUM AND DIGNITY.

AND AS LONG AS I HAVE ANY CONTROL, THAT'S THE WAY THE BUSINESS WILL BE CONDUCTED.

IF I'VE STEPPED ON MOST OF IT, ARE WE STILL GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION? WE WILL GO INTO EXECUTIVE EXECUTIVE SESSION, MRS. RANDOLPH.

WE DO NOT WISH TO ADULT THE SAME SUBJECT.

WELL, YOU CERTAINLY MIGHT MAKE A COMMENT COME RIGHT UP ON THE MICROPHONE.

WHY IS IT WHEN PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF, COME DOWN HERE, WE EXPRESS OUR FEELINGS AND WHAT IS BOTHERING US? WE ARE SUFFERING.

WE ALL, I'M NOT ON EVERYBODY.

THAT'S DOWN HERE THAT KNOWS ME, KNOWS HOW I AM AND WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT.

WHEN I SEE SOMETHING IS WRONG, I'M GOING TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT.

AND WHAT'S BOTHERING ME UP THERE CALLED SPEED IS WRONG.

AND IT'S UP TO THE CITY TO CORRECT IT BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO GO INTO MY POCKET AND PAY SOMEBODY TO CORRECT MY PROBLEMS THERE WHEN IT'S THE CITY'S PROBLEM.

IT'S THE CITY'S PROBLEM.

AND I RESENT WHAT YOU SAYING ABOUT TWO PEOPLE CAN BE DOWN HERE, SNIFFING AND SHOUTING.

I'M NOT SWAMPED.

I'M NOT SHOUTING.

I JUST TALK LOUD.

I'M A LOOSE WOMAN, BUT I TALK LOUD.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT.

I MEAN, WE GOING INTO THE EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS PERSONNEL MATTERS, NOT ATTORNEY, CLIENT AND ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY, CLIENT PRIVILEGE.

I'M SORRY.

I'M STRUGGLING ON A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE.

APOLLO'S WHERE YOU WILL NOW GO AND DO.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS WILL BE REASSESSED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO CLEAR THE ROOM.

YOU CAN STAY.
