LET US PRAY.

DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE COME BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, LORD, WE ASSEMBLE OURSELVES IN PEACE AND LOVE BECOME THE CONCERNED OF THE CITIZENS OF NEW BERENS.

YOU PRAY, DEAR GOD, THAT YOU HELP US.

LORD, YOU GIVE US THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS THAT'S BEFORE US.

WE PRAY, DEAR GOD, THAT YOU KEEP OUR MINDS CLEAR IN BROTHER, THEIR LOVE OR FATHER, AS WE BOW OUR HEADS TO BE PRINTED FOR SUCH OUR HEARTS AND TAKE AWAY ALL MALICE AND EVIL THOUGHTS THAT MIGHT BE THERE FOR THE, AND SEPARATE THEM AS FAR AS EAST IS FROM WEST OH FATHER, WE COME TOGETHER LORD, BECAUSE WE KNOW DEAR GOD, THAT WE, THAT YOU, IT IS YOUR WHEEL THAT WE COME TOGETHER AND UNITE.

AND I WAS SALES AND BROTHERLY LOVE.

AND WE PRAY, DEAR GOD, FOR DRUG FREE NEW BIRD, A NEW BERN THAT WE'LL GROW EVEN LARGER THAN WHAT IT IS AND THAT WE MIGHT TAKE CARE OF WHATEVER THAT IS BEFORE US.

THESE BLESSINGS BE, DO ASK IN OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

HE MEANT HERE.

OKAY.

MAYBE A CONCERN MIGHT BE ONE PERSON.

IT MIGHT BE NOT WORRY ABOUT THE REST OF WHAT I AM.

IS IT THERE'S A WATER MAIN BURST THIS AFTERNOON BY SOMEBODY WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE STREET, BRO, IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY WATER.

WHEN IT LEFT THE HOUSE, I TAKE MY MONTHLY, I MEAN WEIGHT TWICE A DAY.

SO I DIDN'T PUT MY CLOTHES WITHOUT TAKING MY SHOWER ON AND THE WIFE WOULD HAVE DONE THE DISHES.

SO THAT SAY IT WILL HAPPEN.

SO WILL REPORT.

OH MAYOR, WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

YES SIR.

IT WAS ACTUALLY A NCD.

OT WAS, UM, DOING DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, WAS DOING SOME WORK ON THE ROAD AND UH, CAUGHT ONE OF OUR, UM, WATER MAINS AND BUSTED IT.

AND WE HAD QUITE A TIME TRYING TO TURN IT OFF.

IT WAS A REAL TREAT TO BE OUT THERE THIS AFTERNOON FROM ABOUT TWO UNTIL JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO.

UH, WE HAVE THE WATER OFF AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING.

I WOULD ANTICIPATE, UH, WATER BEING BACK ON AND EVERYBODY HAVING PRESSURE BY NINE O'CLOCK TONIGHT.

OKAY.

NOW FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING US ON CHANNEL SIX IS DELAYED AND YOU STILL DON'T HAVE WATER WHEN YOU HEAR IT.

UM, EFFECTIVE AT IT.

UH, THE AREAS AFFECTED BY THIS WERE FROM A PEMBROKE AT DAVIS STREET, UM, ALL THE WAY TO, UH, FIRST STREET AND, UH, BROAD, UH, COVERED SOME AREAS OF, UH, RIM SPENCER AVENUE, UH, SOME AREAS OF, UM, UH, SOUTH FIRST STREET AND, UM, SOUTH FIRST STREET WASN'T AIMED AT SOUTH FRONT STREET AND, UM, WALT BELLAMY DRIVE OR SOME FOLKS IN THAT AREA AFFECTED OFFSITE.

WE HAD SOME DRY HYDRANTS IN SOME OF THOSE AREAS.

WE PULLED IN A TANK OR FROM, UH, OUR TANKER FROM THE VERONA AREA.

AND I HAVE PULLED A TART, HAVE GOT A MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT WITH A CASSIOPEIA SEVEN, BRING A TANKER OVER HERE IN WEST BEAVERTON'S TANKER, STANDING BY IN CASE SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TILL THEY GET THE PRESSURE BACK UP, GOTTEN GOOD FIRE PROTECTION.

YEAH, IT HAS BEEN QUITE AN EFFORT THIS AFTERNOON ON BEHALF OF SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY.

AND I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE ALL THEIR HELP.

THE, UM, SO REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL, UH, THE PLANT TREATED A TOTAL OF 117.3 MILLION GALLONS

[00:05:01]

OF WASTEWATER.

UH, DURING THE MONTH THAT'S AN AVERAGE DAILY FLOW OF 3.91 MILLION GALLONS, UM, WHICH, UH, IS QUITE A BIT HIGHER THAN WE HAVE BEEN SEEING RECENTLY.

UH, THAT'S DUE TO THE INFLOW AND INFILTRATION AS A RESULT OF ALMOST SEVEN INCHES OF RAINFALL THAT WERE MEASURED DURING THE MONTH.

THE M B O D EFFICIENCY REMOVAL WAS 92.1% FOR THE MONTH.

THE TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS EFFICIENCY REMOVAL WAS 91.1%.

ALL OF THOSE PARAMETERS ARE WITHIN THE PERMIT LIMITS.

THE SECOND QUARTER OF PHOSPHORUS AVERAGE IS 1.61 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER, AND WE MUST STAY UNDER TWO MILLIGRAMS PER LITER.

SO WE'RE IN, UH, COMPLIANCE THERE.

UH, AS I REPORTED LAST MONTH, I HAD JUST FOUND OUT AT THAT TIME THAT WE HAD FAILED TOXICITY.

SO THAT IS THE ONLY BLEMISH ON THE PLANTS RECORD, UH, FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL.

AND I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY A TOXICITY THAT WAS TAKEN, UH, UH, LAST WEEK, UH, HAS ALSO FAILED.

UM, AND WE PULLED AND DID A SAMPLE, UH, TEST ON THAT.

AND AS WE SUSPECT, THE AMMONIA WAS ABOUT 14 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER, WHICH IS GOING TO CAUSE HIGH FATALITY IN THE, UH, TOXICITY TEST WITH THOSE LITTLE MINNOWS.

THE, UM, CORY PROJECT AT THIS POINT IN TIME IS, UH, PRETTY MUCH AT A STANDSTILL HASN'T CHANGED MUCH IN THE LAST MONTH.

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ANSWERING SOME QUESTIONS THAT THE STATE HAS POSED.

UH, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE ARE WAITING FOR THE STATE TO REVIEW THE LEVY SYSTEM AND IT IS BEING CLASSIFIED AS A HIGH-RISK DAM.

AND WE'LL GO THROUGH ANNUAL INSPECTIONS, UH, JUST AS IF IT WERE A DAM, UH, HOLDING BACK WATER.

AND, UH, THAT PROCESS IS, UH, BEEN REVIEWED BY THE STATE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO US, WE'VE RESPONDED TO THOSE AND WE'RE WAITING FOR THEIR FINAL COMMENTS OR PERMIT TO COME BACK TO US.

WE ALSO ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOUT A LAKE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH WILL ADDRESS, UH, ALL OF THE CONCERNS OF THE CITIZENS AS TO, UM, THE STATE REALLY WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO CAUSE US TO, UM, TAKE ACTION.

WHAT PARAMETERS ARE WE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT AS FAR AS ALGAE GROWTH AND, AND POPULATIONS IN THE LAKE AND WHAT WILL WE DO? AND WHEN, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH DR.

VINCE, BELLA, SYMBOLOGIST AT, UH, ECU TO COME UP WITH A SATISFACTORY LAKE MANAGEMENT PLAN, UH, AT THIS POINT IN TIME FORESEEING THE PROBLEMS. NO, SIR, THEY REALLY, UM, I THINK THEY'RE VERY ANTSY BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST PROJECT OF ITS KIND IN THE STATE.

AND I THINK THEY JUST WANT TO BE SURE THAT THEY'RE COVERING ALL THE EPA REGULATIONS IN ARE, ARE COVERING THEMSELVES AS FAR AS ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO MANAGE THE PROJECT PROPERLY AND RIGHTFULLY SO THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IS THAT, UM, IT'S REAL HARD TO SAY, OKAY, WHEN A BLUE-GREEN ALGAE GETS TO SO MANY COLUMNS COLONIES PER MILLILITER, OVER A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE LAKE, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ACTION.

AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO BECAUSE THE LAKE IS A LIVING, BREATHING ORGANISM, AND WE HAVE TO WATCH IT AND MONITOR IT.

AND, AND THIS, WE PLAN TO HAVE A GROUP OF CITIZENS, AS WELL AS, UH, PROMINENT FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY, SIT ON AN ADVISORY BOARD AND REALLY THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PROJECT'S WORKING AND IF THERE'S A PROBLEM OR NOT, AND WHAT ACTION WE NEED TO TAKE.

AND IF THAT'S GO BACK TO THE RIVER, THEN SO BE IT.

BUT, UH, THAT'S THE TYPE THING THAT I THINK THE STATE'S LOOKING FOR IS THEY'RE, THEY'RE WANTING SOMETHING TO HANG THEIR HAT ON AND BE SURE THAT THEY CAN SAY, OKAY, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE ACTION, OR WHEN THEY, IF THEY NEEDED TO STEP IN AND SAY, YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS ACTION NOW, BASED ON YOUR LEG MANAGEMENT PLAN.

I KNOW THAT WITH THIS SYSTEM, THAT IF WE DECIDE THAT WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE SWITCH, SO TO SPEAK, BUT IT BACK IN THE RIVER THAT WE CAN DO THAT, BUT IS THERE A WAY TO DRAIN THE LIGHT? LET'S SAY WE RAISE IT A FOOT OR TWO, AND THEN DECIDED WE WANTED TO LET WHAT'S IN THE LAKE, A LACK IN THE RIVER, INSTEAD OF WAITING YEARS AND YEARS TO GET DOWN THROUGH THE GROUND AND COME OUT, WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO, TO LET IT BACK FLOW INTO THE RIVER, TO DRAIN THE LAKE, SO TO SPEAK NOW, REBEL LEVEL, WE HAVE CONSIDERED SOMETHING OF THAT ORDER, BUT AT THIS TIME, NO, WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO DO THAT.

UM, IF YOU RIDE BY THE QUARRY, UH, PRESENT DAY, UH, TODAY, UM, THAT IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT GROUNDWATER LEVEL HAS BEEN BEFORE THEY STARTED MINING THE QUARRY.

IT WAS JUST COVERED OVER WITH DIRT.

UM, I WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT YOU COULD REACH THAT LEVEL, UH, WITHIN SEVERAL MONTHS.

UM, MAYBE AS LONG AS A YEAR, IT MIGHT TAKE THAT LONG, DEPENDING ON HOW HIGH A HEAD WE HAD ON THE, ON THE QUARRY, BUT OVER A PERIOD OF NINE MONTHS TO A YEAR

[00:10:01]

MAXIMUM, I THINK YOU COULD BRING IT BACK DOWN TO GROUNDWATER LEVEL.

UM, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO OPEN IT UP AND SEND IT TO THE RIVER BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY, UM, DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF WHY WE'RE BUILDING THE PROJECT.

UM, AND SAFEGUARDS ARE ALREADY BEING MADE.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT ORDER LEVELS BEING AT, UM, FLOOD ELEVATION, LIKE A CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE AT, AT LEVEL 10 OUTSIDE THE QUARRY.

AND WE BE IN AT TWO OR THREE FEET INSIDE THE QUARRY, WHICH IS WHERE IT'S AT RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT IT OPPOSITE AND SAYING, OKAY, YOU GOT NINE FEET IN THE QUARRY AND ONE OR TWO FEET OUTSIDE THE QUARRY.

SO THE DIKE IS SECURE GOING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.

UH, SO IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND.

THE ONLY, THE ONLY REAL PROBLEM WOULD BE IS IF YOU HAD A CATEGORY FIVE HURRICANE COME IN HERE AND BRING 13, 14 FOOT OF WATER, WHICH, UH, THIS BUILDING'S GOING TO HAVE WATER IN THE BASEMENT.

AND MOST OF THE NEWBORNS GOING TO BE DEBILITATED ANYWAY, AND IT COULD OVERTOP THE DYKES AT THAT POINT IN TIME.

AND THAT'S A MAJOR CATASTROPHE AND WE'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT DAMAGE WAS DONE AND REBUILD THE DYKES BASED ON THE, ON THE PERMITS.

BUT AS LONG AS IT CAME OUT OF TOP, YEAH, THE WATER WOULD ALREADY BE THAT HIGH.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M SURE THE STATE LOUISIANA EVERYWHERE, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT ALL THAT FAMILIAR WITH EVERYONE AROUND, YOU KNOW, LIVING IN THIS NECK OF THE WOODS, WHERE TO COME WITH THEM.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE DO IS, IS ALSO, YOU KNOW, FALL BACK POSITIONS, IF YOU WILL, RIGHT.

THIS DIDN'T WORK THE WAY WE THOUGHT THE EXPECTED OR THIS BROKE, WE GO HERE.

AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, WE GO THERE.

AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, WE GO THERE SO THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THINGS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN, THAN WE EVEN FOUND.

SO, BUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BASICALLY THAT IF A, IF THERE WAS A HURRICANE BAD ENOUGH TO PUT ENOUGH WATER IN THERE FOR IT TO COME OVER THE DYKE, THEN THE HOUSES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DYKE WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN UNDER WATER BEFORE THAT HAPPENED.

ABSOLUTELY SEVERAL TIME BEFORE THAT EVER HAPPENED.

YES, SIR.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, FOUR FEET ABOVE THE WATER LEVELS THAT WE SAW DURING, UM, FRAN AND FLOYD, TO BE ABLE TO GO OVER THE TOP OF THE DIKES.

IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE FOUR MORE FEET OF WATER ADDED TO WHAT WE ALREADY SAW DURING THOSE TWO MAJOR HURRICANES.

WELL, YOU CAN'T PREPARE FOR EVERY EMERGENCY, BUT I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN DOING THE WORK ON THIS AND HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB PREPARING FOR ANYTHING WITHIN OUR, WITHIN OUR IMAGINATION.

YES, SIR.

BARRING SOMETHING THAT WOULD JUST WIPE OUT SO MANY HOUSES THAT IT WOULD BE KIND OF A MOOT POINT ANYWAY.

YES, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE COURT? SURE.

WHY IS THE STATE ASKING YOU OR US TO TELL HIM WHAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR? AND THEN AT WHAT LEVEL WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ACTION AND WHAT OUR ACTION IS GOING TO BE.

I MEAN, THAT'S, DON'T THEY HAVE ANY GUIDELINES OR ARE WE SUPPOSED TO JUST TOSS SOMETHING OUT? AND THEY SAY, WELL, THAT LOOKS GOOD TO US.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

NO, THEY, THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY GUIDELINES.

UM, WELL OUR GUIDELINES CAN COME FROM OUR, UM, INSPECTION OF WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN FLORIDA AND WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN CALIFORNIA, UM, AS YOU MAY, WELL, REMEMBER THE VIDEO THAT WE BOUGHT TO YOU FROM CALIFORNIA ABOUT THE SAN PADRE PROJECT, UM, SHOW THAT THAT PROJECT, UM, IS A FIVE LAKE SYSTEM AND THEY DID SOME, I MEAN, JUST SOME OUTRAGEOUS TESTING, UM, TESTED A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS THAT ARE BIOLOGIST FEELS LIKE IS SUPERFLUOUS AND NOT NEEDED.

AND HE HAS, HE HAS PROPOSED AN OUTLINE BASICALLY IS WHAT WE DID WAS WE TOOK THAT AND JUST LAID OUT AN OUTLINE AS OUR FIRST PROPOSAL TOOL.

AND THEY SAID TODAY THAT THEY WANTED, UH, OUR FIRST PROPOSAL WAS TOO INVOLVED, GAVE TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

SO WE SUBMITTED SOMETHING ELSE AND THEY SAID THAT THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.

SO, UH, I THINK IT, IT REALLY HAS A COUPLE OF THINGS.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS PLAYING IS THAT THEY'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS, UM, PRESENTED, UH, OR BUILT IN THE STATE.

AND THEY'RE JUST BEING VERY CAUTIOUS AND LOOKING AT EPA LAWS, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE COVERED THEMSELVES ON WHAT EPA WOULD REQUIRE.

AND SECONDLY, THEY, I THINK THEY WANT US TO PUT THE PARAMETERS FORCE SO THAT THEY CAN SAY, YES, THIS IS GOOD OR NO, IT'S NOT GOOD RATHER THAN THEM DICTATING TO US WHAT WE SHOULD DO.

AND THAT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH.

YES, SIR.

YES, SIR.

WE ARE, UM, I WON'T BE AS ATTENDANT.

I THINK I KNOW WHERE THE REST

[00:15:01]

OF THE REPORT IS GOOD, BUT ANYWAY, UH, THE WATER THAT WE WERE PUT IN THERE, IS IT GOING TO BE, WELL, THE LAKE ENDED UP STRIKING, LIKE OUR WATER WILL BE ON THE TOP, ON THE BOTTOM, OR IS IT JUST TOTALLY MIXED AND WHAT I'M WANTING TO, WE'RE GETTING A BENEFICIAL EFFECT FROM THE SUN.

BEING ABLE TO PUT SOME OLDER, VIOLENT RAYS ON THE WATER AND WE'RE PUTTING IN THERE TO HELP FURTHER KILL ANYTHING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE LIT UP, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY NOTHING.

ANYWAY.

UM, THE, UH, THE WATER WILL MIX.

UM, I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE WILL BE ANY BENEFIT TO ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT GOING THROUGH THE WATER.

UM, IT WILL BE STERILE AS WE PUT IT IN THERE.

IT WILL BE LESS THAN 24 COLONIES PER A HUNDRED MILLILITERS, UM, OF FECAL COLIFORM ECOLAB, WHICH IS WHAT WE TEST FOR TO SEE IF ANY PATHOGENS EXIST IN ANY TYPE OF WATER, DRINKING, WATER, WASTEWATER, OR WHATEVER.

THAT'S THE WAY WE GAUGE IT.

AND, UH, IT'S, UH, IT'S A VERY GOOD TEST FOR SEEING IF THERE'S ANY PATHOGENS THERE WE'RE TREATING THIS, UM, WHAT GOES TO THE RIVER? NOW WE HAVE TO TREAT THE 200 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER DISCHARGED THE RIVER.

WE'RE GOING TO TREAT THIS TO 24 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER OR LESS.

AND SO THE WATER THAT WE'LL BE PUTTING IN THE QUARRY WILL BE, UM, AS IF YOU HELD THEM UP IN A GLASS SIDE BY SIDE WITH OUR DRINKING WATER VERSUS WHAT'S GOING IN THE QUARRY.

THERE WOULDN'T BE NO APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE WITH SITE LOOKING AT IT.

UH, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE AND, UM, WE'LL PUT THAT IN THERE.

IT WILL BE A BETTER WATER THAN WHAT'S IN THE QUARRY.

NOW WE BETTER THAN WHAT THE GROUNDWATER STANDARDS ARE IN NORTH CAROLINA RIGHT NOW, WHICH YOU COULD DRILL A HOLE IN THE GROUND AND DRINK WATER.

IT WILL EXCEED THOSE STANDARDS.

AND WE'LL ACTUALLY, UH, STOP A SALT WATER INTRUSION THAT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE FROM THE YEARS AND YEARS OF PUMPING THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON AT THE MARTIN MARIETTA QUARRY, WHO WILL ACTUALLY FLUSH THE SALT THAT'S IN THAT LAKE NOW BACK OUT AND REPLACE IT WITH FRESHER WATER THAN THERE THEN IS THERE NOW.

SO BY ALL STRETCHES OF THE IMAGINATION, THE WATER WILL BE PUTTING IN.

THERE WILL BE BETTER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NITROGEN AND THE PHOSPHOROUS, WHICH WE WILL BE REMOVING TO AS LOW A LEVEL AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN DO IT WITH ANY TREATMENT PROCESS RIGHT NOW.

YES, SIR.

HOW WILL THE WATER BE DISCHARGED INTO THE LAKE? WILL IT HAVE SOME SOPHISTICATED METHOD OR DOES IT JUST GO IN ON THE TOP AT THE, AT THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, WE WILL HAVE A VERY LARGE PUMP STATION AND A 30 INCH MAIN THAT WILL COME, UH, FROM THE TREATMENT PLAN ALONG OUR NORTHWEST INTERCEPTOR THROUGH THE WOODS AND THROUGH BEHIND THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION COMPOUND, CROSS OVER GLENBURNIE ROAD, RUN DOWN THE ACCESS ROAD AND WHERE THE WAYSTATION USED TO SIT.

UH, IT WILL ACTUALLY SPLIT AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UM, UH, PUT A PIPE IN THE, IN THE WATER, UH, SOMEWHERE ACROSS FROM THE ALBERT COOK PROPERTY, UH, ACROSS THE LAKE FROM HIM.

AND THEN WE WILL GO TO WHAT WE CALL THE WESTLAKE, WHICH IS THE LARGEST LAKE THAT'S CLOSEST TO THE RIVER.

UM, PROBABLY ABOUT 400 ACRES OVER THERE.

WE'RE GONNA DUMP WHERE THEY USED TO, UH, PULL THE WATER OUT AND DE-WATER, THERE WAS AN AREA RIGHT THERE.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A CASCADING STRUCTURE SO THAT SHE CAN SEE THE CLARITY OF THE WATER IN THE COMPOSITION OF IT.

AND WHAT'S GOING IN THE, IN THE LAKE.

WE COULD JUST DISCHARGE UNDER THE, UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE WATER, BUT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT WERE DISCHARGED INTO THE LAKES.

IS THERE AN AREA THAT, ALTHOUGH WE AIR ATE IT BEFORE WE PUMP IT TO THE QUARRY, BUT IT WILL ADD SOME OXYGEN TO IT.

YES, SIR.

BUT, UH, WHAT WAS IT, THE FIGURE THAT YOU GAVE OUT ONCE FLOYD, OUR CAPITAL THROUGH THIS WAGE TOMORROW YOU'D STARTED PUMPING IN THE CAR.

HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE FOR THE CORD AROUND HIS ONE FOOT? OH MAN, IT WAS MONTHS.

I MEAN, IT WAS, IT WAS LIKE EIGHT OR NINE MONTHS WITH YEAH, WELL, I THINK THAT IT WAS, I'M NOT ONE FOOT, BUT TO RAISE IT FROM WHERE IT'S AT NOW TO THE NINE FOOT LEVEL PUMPING 3 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY WOULD TAKE, UH, 300.

AND I THINK IT WAS 40 SOME DAYS WITH NO WATER GOING OUT, JUST FILLING IT, NO EVAPORATION, JUST FILLING IT AT 3 MILLION GALLONS A DAY, IT WAS 300 AND SOME DAYS IT WAS THREE MINUTES.

UH THAT'S ABOUT WHAT, WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE DISCHARGING RIGHT NOW.

[00:20:01]

OH, IT'S A SLOW, WELL, ACTUALLY ACTUALLY THAT'S UP FOR DEBATE.

UM, THE LOWEST ESTIMATE THAT HAS BEEN PUT FORTH IS A MILLION AND A HALF GALLONS PER DAY, MAXIMUM, UH, SOMEWHERE AROUND 10 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.

IT'S A POSSIBILITY WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL WE PUT THE HEAD ON IT AND ACTUALLY HAVE IT REACHED EQUILIBRIUM.

YOU HAVE 3 MILLION, 3 MILLION GOING OUT HAS THE THING, RIGHT? WELL, RIGHT NOW THERE'S A, YOU CAN CALCULATE HOW MUCH WATER IS PASSING THROUGH THE QUARRY.

I CAN'T DO IT, BUT HYDROLOGISTS COULD.

AND IF YOU ADD ANOTHER 3 MILLION GALLONS TO THAT, UH, IF IT CAN ASSIMILATE AND TAKE IT OUT IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, THEN YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT WOULDN'T RISE.

OUR ANTICIPATION IS THERE'S GOING TO RISE AND ADD MORE HEAD, WHICH WILL CAUSE MORE WATER TO LEAVE.

THEN IT'S COMING OUT.

SO WHAT, I'M, WHAT I'M DRIVING, MAN, GET A BUNCH OF WATER, STANDING, STANDING, POSES MOVERS, UNLESS THEY GET UP TO HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO RISE UP? IT WOULD, IT WOULD TAKE, UH, LET'S SEE, AT LEAST 40 DAYS TO RISE A FOOT.

AND I'M SURE THAT'S RIGHT.

MIGHT NOT RISE A FOOT.

AND THEN THE MORE HEAD YOU GET ON IT, IT'S GOING TO PUSH IT OUT FASTER ANYWAY.

SO IT WAS GOING TO BE A CATHOLIC THAT'S RIGHT.

CALCULUS PROBLEM.

PALM PILOTS IS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE AN APPLIED DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF IT, DAVID, I HAVE A QUESTION.

YES, SIR.

IT MIGHT BE BETTER DIRECTED TOWARD BILL HARTMAN.

AND THIS IS A CRYSTAL BALL QUESTION BECAUSE THERE WE ARE ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT INCREASING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE NOW.

AND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WILL COME AFTER US, WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK INTO THE FUTURE, REFRESH MY MEMORY AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES IN THAT LAKE.

I KNOW THAT WE DON'T KNOW NOW WHAT WE WILL DO, BUT WHAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE IF WE WENT IN THAT DIRECTION, AS FAR AS FISHING, UH, SMALL BOATS, NOT POWER, BUT NOT BIG POWER BOATS, BUT LIMITED.

WELL, I THINK ILLEGALLY, VIRTUALLY ANYTHING WOULD BE POSSIBLE IN THERE EXCEPT SWIMMING.

AND YOU COULD FISH BOAT, UH, CONTACT WITH THE WATER IS FINE.

UH, THE STATE JUST DID NOT ALLOW ANY SWIMMING IN, IN THIS TYPE OF WATER.

AND SO, UH, UH, I GUESS IT WOULD BE A COMPLETELY OPEN TO THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, WHATEVER THEY DECIDED.

I KNOW THAT, UH, THURMAN HARVEST AND OUR RECREATION DIRECTOR HAS BEEN LICKING HIS LIPS EVERS, AND EVER SINCE HE FOUND OUT WE HAD THE LAKES, I KNOW HE'S GOT SOME THINGS IN THE BACK OF HIS MIND THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE USED OVER THERE.

SO, UH, I WOULD SAY THAT THE POSSIBILITIES ARE VIRTUALLY VIRTUALLY LIMITLESS, BUT IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NATURAL AREA OVER THERE.

PROBABLY WOULDN'T WE'D WANT TO RETAIN A LOT OF THAT, BUT I WOULD SAY BOATING AND FISHING, UH, PADDLE BOAT TYPE THINGS, NOT POWERBOAT TYPE ACTIVITIES, THAT THOSE WOULD BE THE KINDS OF ACTIVITIES THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT.

WELL, LET ME GET BACK TO THE SWIMMING FOR JUST A MOMENT.

I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT ALLOWED IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA BECAUSE THERE'S A LAW THAT SAYS YOU CANNOT SWIM IN A WATER THAT IS ACTUALLY EFFLUENT FROM A PLAN, A TREATMENT PLAN RE RECYCLED RECYCLED WATER, BUT DO THEY NOT ALLOW THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, IN CALIFORNIA, FIRST OF ALL, WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS.

AND MY SECOND QUESTION IS, ARE WE NOT GOING TO BE DISPROVING THE THEORY ON WHICH THAT NO SWIMMING PREMISE IS BASED AND THEREFORE CONCEIVABLY THAT IT WILL BE, IT'S GOT TO BE CLEANER THAN WHAT'S IN THERE NOW.

AND I'M, I DON'T IMAGINE THE STATE WOULD STOP ANYBODY FROM SWIMMING IN THERE.

NOW, ALL OF THE THINGS BEING CONSIDERED.

SO AREN'T, WE PLOWING NEW GROUND HERE.

CAN YOU NOT VISUALIZE MAYBE THE TIME WHEN THE STATE WILL HAVE TO RE-EXAMINE THAT? AND, UH, PERHAPS LIFT THAT BAN, IF WE'RE IN THE, WATER'S GOING TO BE CLEANER THAN IT IS NOW MY PERSONAL OPINION, AND THAT'S ALL I CAN PASS RIGHT NOW.

UM, WE ARE ALLOWED FULL BODY CONTACT, WHICH MEANS WE CAN BE IN CONTACT WITH IT, BUT YOU CAN'T SWIM IN IT.

UM, THE POSSIBILITIES OF SWIMMING IN THAT LAKE ARE YES, WE, WE, I THINK THAT EVENTUALLY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COULD BE PERSUADED TO ALLOW US TO DO THAT.

HOWEVER, WITH THE AVAILABILITY OF THE A HUNDRED ACRE LAKE ADJACENT TO THE, TO THE DISPOSAL OR THE RECLAMATION SITE, I WOULDN'T SEE WHY WE WOULD NEED TO DO THAT.

IF YOU'VE GOT A SMALL, A HUNDRED ACRE, UH, CIRCULAR LAKE THAT CAN PROVIDE YOU ALL OF THE AMENITIES THAT THE LARGE LIGHT, UH, COULD PROVIDE YOU.

I WOULDN'T SEE THE NEED TO DO THAT.

UM, AND LOOKING AT WHERE THE WETLANDS ARE LOCATED AND THE POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPING,

[00:25:01]

UH, THE OTHER 55 ACRES OF UPLANDS THAT ARE, THAT, THAT ARE POSSIBLE THERE, UH, I WOULD THINK THAT YOU WOULD BE LOOKING AT USING THE OTHER FACILITIES RATHER THAN USING THE LARGE LAKES THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE USING FOR RECLAMATION AND REUSE.

I THINK WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M GETTING AT BASICALLY IS THIS BOARD IS NOT LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT FOR THE BENEFIT.

IT WILL GAIN US NEXT YEAR OR THE YEAR AFTER.

AND I, I THINK WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE, TWO GENERATIONS FROM NOW WILL STILL BE A VIABLE PROJECT.

AND A LOT OF THINGS WILL HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN.

WE ARE, WE ARE SETTING SOMETHING IN MOTION THAT MAY BE, MAY PROVE TO BE ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE ASSETS.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF GENERATIONS FROM NOW, PEOPLE NOW ARE GOING TO SAY, WHOA, NOT GOING IN THERE BECAUSE THAT'S COMING FROM THE TREATMENT PLANT A COUPLE OF GENERATIONS FROM NOW.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE.

THEY'RE GOING TO FORGOTTEN THAT I'LL AGREE WITH THEM.

UH, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE, I'M HAPPY TO BE PART OF SOMETHING THAT IS PROVIDING A VERY ATTRACTIVE BENEFIT FOR THE FUTURE, FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WILL LIVE HERE LONG AFTER I'M GONE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CORY PROJECT? UH, LET ME ALSO UPDATE YOU ON THEIR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, UM, PERMITTING PROCESS.

WE HAVE SUBMITTED THAT TO THE STATE.

UH, I SPOKE WITH A GENTLEMAN WHO IS GOING TO BE REVIEWING THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT UPGRADE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, AND HE PLANS ON HAVING, UH, COMMENTS TO US BY END OF JUNE.

UM, IF THAT WERE THE TIMEFRAME, UH, I WOULD EXPECT THAT WE WILL BE BIDDING SOMETIME AROUND OCTOBER, UH, FOR A BID LETTING IN NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER.

UH, SO THAT'S THAT PROJECT IS MOVING ALONG NICELY.

THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE AND WE'LL BE WAITING ON HIS COMMENTS.

AND OF COURSE, ASKED TO ANSWER THOSE BASED ON HIS DESIGN COMMENTS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? CAN WE NAME THAT LAKE? CAN YOU NAME THAT WAY? IT DOESN'T HAVE A NAME YET.

I DON'T KNOW.

THAT'D BE A RE I THINK THAT'D BE SOMETHING WE COULD GET SOME COMMUNITY INVOLVED.

WELL, I TELL YOU, I, I KEEP, I KEEP THINKING THAT WHEN THE TIME COMES TO PICK A NAME FOR IT, THAT A THERE'S ONE, THERE'S ONE PERSON THAT'S REALLY BEEN A SUPPORTER OF THIS AND WAS BORN IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT LAKE BEFORE THE LAKE EXISTED.

SOMEBODY WHO'S SOMEBODY, SOMEONE WHOSE FAMILY FARM ACTUALLY OCCUPIED THAT LAND ONCE UPON A TIME.

AND IT'S BEGINNING TO BECOME MORE AND MORE CLEAR THAT THERE'S A, THERE'S A NATURAL NAME FOR US, 58.

AND IF HE CAME BACK AND SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS PROPERTY, I DON'T KNOW THAT HE'D BE TOO HAPPY.

IT'S STILL THERE.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, AND AGAIN, FOR THE RECORD THAT ALTHOUGH IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD PRODUCT AND I LAY OUT, THAT WAS NOT MY DATE.

IN FACT, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO'S I THAT'D BE PART OF THAT HAD ANYTHING AT ALL.

WAS IT? I ASKED HIM WHEN WE DID THE STUDY FOR THE NEW, UM, TREATMENT PLAN THAT THE CONSULTANTS LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING US OUT OF THE ROOM, IF IT WAS POSSIBLE AND CAN SOLVE THOSE AND ONES THAT CAME BACK WITH THE QUARRY MS. GREEN AND BAD AS ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS, OUT OF THE CALL IT OUT OF THE RIVER LAKE.

BUT I WILL SAY THAT I COMMITTED TO THE FOLKS OUT THERE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I SPRUNG FROM.

DAVID KNOWS THAT I WANT TO ASK MORE QUESTIONS NOW THAN A THIRD GRADER, YOU KNOW, ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND HOW IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THINGS AND SAY, AND IT'S ON BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE'RE REAL CONCERNED ABOUT OPERATING NOT ONLY BEING SUCCESSFUL AT WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO, BUT TO MAKE SURE THE THING IS SAFE LIVING RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE CELL BACK A MOBILE PIECE OF PROPERTY.

I STOLE SOME OF MY THINGS IN A VERY DEEP, SO, UH, THAT JUST HOPEFULLY SHOW MY FAITH IN OPERATION, BUT THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR REPORT.

THE NEXT THING WE HAVE IS THE HAZARD MITIGATION REPORT FOR PLANNING INSPECTION DIRECTLY CONSIDER TONIGHT, MAKE 99 MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM.

GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU, MIKE.

I APPRECIATE IT.

CERTAINLY GOOD TO BE BACK BEFORE YOU AGAIN, I ENJOYED IT, ENJOYED MY TIME LAST WEEK, AND THEN HOPEFULLY I ENJOYED AS MUCH TONIGHT.

UM, MIKE HAS, UM, UM, HAS, I WAS GOING TO SAY ASK, BUT HE HAS INSTRUCTED ME THAT I NEED TO MAKE

[00:30:01]

SURE AND BE HERE AT YOUR SECOND MEETING EVERY MONTH TO GIVE YOU A REPORT.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT AND, AND, UH, ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, YOU GET THEM TO ME A LITTLE EARLY, I'LL TRY TO ADVANCE A LITTLE BIT MORE AND GET THOSE ANSWERS.

I'VE PASSED OUT TO EACH ONE OF YOU, JUST A BRIEF COPY OF MY NOTES.

AND I WAS GOING TO READ FROM AT THE LAST MEETING WE DISCUSSED, UM, A CONTRACTOR'S MEETING TO GET TOGETHER WITH CONTRACTORS, UM, TO SEE HOW WE MAY WANT TO CONTRACT HOW THE BEST WAY TO BID, UM, THESE HOUSES.

UH, WE HAVE ADVERTISED THAT MEETING AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS THURSDAY AT 1230, UM, IN THE PLANNING OFFICE, UH, WE'VE ADVERTISED THE SUN JOURNAL, WASHINGTON DAILY NEWS, JACKSONVILLE DAILY NEWS, AND THE DAILY REFLECTOR.

UM, I PERSONALLY TALKED TO IN DEPTH TO ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE DIFFERENT ELEVATION CONTRACTORS.

WHO'D BE DOING THIS TYPE WORK, UM, AND SOLICITED THEIR COMMENTS.

UM, ALSO, UH, TALKED TO NUMEROUS OTHER CONTRACTORS, NOT IN DEPTH, BUT IN ESSENCE, AND ASKING THEM TO COME TO THE MEETING AND GIVE US THEIR INPUTS ON, ON HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROJECT RUNS SO THAT THEY COULD PARTICIPATE.

UM, THE CONTRACT COORDINATION, UM, THREE OF THE ELEVATION CONTRACTORS, UM, SAID THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS METHOD OF CONTRACTING THE WORK IS THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE AT A MINIMUM THREE, THEY'D LIKE TO GO IN AND DO THREE HOUSES AT THE TIME.

AND THAT ALLOWED THEM TO GO IN, SPEND A WEEK, ELEVATING HOUSES, UM, HAVE ENOUGH THAT WHEN THEY HIRED A MASON, THAT A MASON COULD COME IN AND DO THREE, UM, THEY SAID AT A MINIMUM, THEY'D LIKE TO HAVE UNDER CONTRACT THREE AT THE TIME VERSUS THE ONE HOUSE LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.

UM, OBVIOUSLY WE STILL GOT TO GET THE INPUT FROM OUR MEETING.

UM, THAT MAY CHANGE SOMEWHAT THEN, UM, IF YOU DO IT THREE AT A TIME PROCESS, YES IT WOULD.

AND WHAT YOU W IDEALLY YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE IS NUMEROUS CONTRACTORS DOING THREE AT THE TIME OR NINE OR NINE TO 12.

AND I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON IT NOW, I PROBABLY WOULD LIKE TO GET THROUGH THE CONTRACTORS MEETING AND BRING BACK INFORMATION TO YOU ON HOW WE ANTICIPATE DOING THAT.

UM, RIGHT NOW, THOUGH, WE'VE GOT, UM, THE TWO THAT HAVE BEEN DONE, WE'VE GOT THREE MORE IN PROCESS.

SO BY THE END OF, UH, END OF MAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHEDULE WE APPROVED TWO WEEKS AGO, UH, WE'LL HAVE FIVE READY.

UM, SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND BID THOSE FIVE AS ONE PACKAGE.

UM, LET ME, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

EIGHT HOUSES WILL BE EXAM ENGINEERING AT THE TIME.

HE GENERALLY YOU CAN DO ABOUT TWO A DAY AND THEN A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION.

UM, THAT'S THAT'S IN AT THE TIME, OR IS IT FOUR OR FIVE? THERE ACTUALLY IS A, UM, ENGINEERING TRAINING.

UM, HE MAY BE A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER.

I USE AN ENGINEERING GRADUATE, UM, WHO, WHO IS ACTUALLY DOING THE CRAWLING, UM, AND INVESTIGATING HIMSELF AND HE'LL HAVE ONE HOUSE AT THE TIME.

UM, HE'LL PROBABLY HAVE SOME, ONE OR TWO PEOPLE HELPING HIM UNDER THE HOUSE.

FIRST ONE, SHE DID HIMSELF AND GENERALLY HE CAN PRETTY EASILY CRAWL TWO A DAY.

UM, AND GENERALLY IT WOULD TAKE A DAY TO PUT THE PACKAGES TOGETHER AND GET THE FLOOR PLANS.

AND THE DRAWINGS DONE, UM, IS ASM CONTRACT OR DOES HE WORK? NO.

SO HE IS AN EMPLOYEE.

IT'S NOT TOO OUTRAGEOUS.

SAME TO ME.

IT'S PROBABLY THAT JUST OVERVIEW OF THIS.

THAT IS ACTUALLY, THE PROBLEM IS SLOWEST PROSTATE.

THIS IS GOING ON SLOWEST IN THE SENSE OF, I DON'T MEAN ON YOUR CALENDAR, BUT IT'S THE THING THAT NOTHING ELSE CAN MOVE INTO LAST NIGHT.

AND IF THERE'S ONE GUY IN THAT IS THE SAME, THIS, THIS TELL US IN THE OLD PLAYING THE BIG KIND OF SLOPE AND WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO PIT JUST SO CONTRACT AND THAT OTHER GUY AND DO EVALUATE THOSE HOUSES TWICE AS FAST.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, MR. MAYOR, UM, AS FAR AS SUBCONTRACTING, UM, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT WANT TO SUBCONTRACT.

UH, I WOULD, WE HAVE ENOUGH PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS IN THE FIRM THAT IF WE SEE THAT WE'RE IN ANY WAY, FALLING BEHIND THE SCHEDULE WE PRESENTED TO YOU, WE WON'T TALK.

I TOLD YOU WE CAN TRY TO GO FAST AND WE COMMITTED TO YOU 10 A MONTH.

I KNOW, BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT IN ORDER TO DRIVE, YOU DON'T WANT IT DONE.

AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

TRY TO SPEED IT UP.

IT HAS GOTTEN TO BE A SHOULDER.

I'M JUST TRYING TO LOOK AT IT FROM AN OUTSIDE VIEWPOINT.

THAT WAS TWO THINGS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE'LL DO THAT.

WHEN YOU ASK A REAL ESTATE REQUEST AND EVERYBODY

[00:35:01]

LAUGH AND JOKE.

NO, THE THING IS SOMETIMES LOOKING IN FROM OUTSIDE.

YOU CAN SEE SOME THINGS THAT YOU DON'T SEE FROM INSIDE AND ALL I'VE TRIED TO SELL YOU THIS MY OPINION.

AND I THINK YOU AGREE WITH ME, MAYBE THE SLOWEST CAR AND NOBODY CAN MOVE, BUT NO, THAT GUY OR GUY, OR WHOEVER HAS GONE UP WRITTEN UP THE HOUSE, THEN YOU PUT IT TOGETHER ON A BID PACKAGE AND WHATEVER.

AND IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT IF EVERYTHING HAS TO GO BACK AND THERE'S ONE LITTLE LINK IN THE CHAIN, THEN YOU KNOW, WE PUT TWO LINKS IN THE CHAIN AND HAVE IT HAVE A DUAL APPROACH.

WE MIGHT COULD CONSIDERABLY INCREASE LANE.

ESPECIALLY THESE PEOPLE SAY THEY LIKE TO LEAVE NINE TO 12 HUMANS IN THE LEG AND WE'RE SITTING THERE SAYING, WELL, GOOD.

YES, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

YEAH.

ALSO YOU HAVE A SAMPLE LETTER.

UM, I THINK I, I PUT UNDERNEATH YOUR CREAM COLORED SHEET, AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE LAST MEETING, WE TRIED TO SEND EVERYBODY IN THE AREA.

UM, A BRIEF NOTE THAT AN ESSENCE SAID, UM, THIS IS THE LATEST DATE THAT YOU SHOULD SEE SOMEBODY COMING TO INVESTIGATE YOUR HOUSE.

UM, AND, AND THAT REALLY THE PURPOSE OF IT BEING TO ESTABLISH, LET THEM ESTABLISH SOME, UM, EXPECTATION OF WHEN THEY CAN SEE SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY THAT THEY CAN CALL UP AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A TELEPHONE NUMBER ON THERE.

UM, AND ALSO AS A REMINDER, THAT AS WE GO IN AND LEAVE NOTES AND MAKE TELEPHONE CALLS TO RESPOND TO US, CAUSE SOMETIMES THAT'S A, THAT'S A PROBLEM.

YEAH.

THIS IS JANE.

THE THIRD ONE WOULD BE ON EVERYBODY'S LIST.

NO, SIR.

NO, SIR.

THAT WAS ACTUALLY, UM, THEY'LL ACTUALLY HAVE PER THAT SCHEDULE THAT WE PRESENTED THEY'LL CHANGE.

YES.

SO, AND, AND I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE.

THEY WILL BE SEEN BEFORE THAT DATE, BUT I WANTED TO ESTABLISH A MINIMUM EXPECTATION FOR THEM AS FAR AS WHEN THEY WOULD BE SEEN, UM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHEDULE, WE WOULD HAVE, WE WILL HAVE A MINIMUM OF THREE ADDITIONAL DESIGNS COMPLETED BY MAY 31ST.

AND, UH, AS I HAD SAID EARLIER, INSTEAD OF WAITING TO GET A LARGER PACKAGE, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND DEVELOP THE PACKAGE OF ABOVE FIVE, UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING CONTRADICTORY TO THAT AT OUR MEETING THURSDAY.

AND GO AHEAD AND GET THAT ON THE MARKET.

AND HOPEFULLY WE HAVE THAT BEFORE, BACK BEFORE YOU, UM, AT MY NEXT PRESENTATION WITH AN AWARD OR THESE CONTRACTS.

SO WE ALREADY DID.

WE SENT OUT TWO, WE RECEIVED ONE BID.

UM, WE HAD, UM, TWO CONTRACTORS WHO WOULD PROMISE ME BE AS IT DID NOT BE IT.

UH, SO WE WILL REBUILD THOSE WITH THESE THREE, FOUR PACKAGE OF FIVE.

THANK YOU, MR. .

WELL, THEY WOULD HAVE MADE IT, I SAID THE ONES WE TALKED TO, YOU SAID THEY'D LIKE TO SEE THREE, UM, BECAUSE THAT GAVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOBILIZE THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS IN THAT TIME THING.

WHAT'S THE, IS THAT WE CAN GET PUT ON ALL THESE HOUSES.

SOME FRACTION THERE.

AND AT SOME POINT YOU, YOU POSSIBLY, YOU WOULD POSSIBLY LOSE SOME QUALITY CONTROL.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT POINT THAT WOULD BE.

UM, I WOULD, YES, YOU HAVE MORE, YOU HAVE MORE PEOPLE IN IT, UM, VERSUS THAT CONTROL.

BUT I SAID, SAY THAT TO SAY THAT, AND I JUST SAY THIS, AND I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT, BUT WHAT I, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO, IF IT'S, IF IT'S OKAY NOW WE, WE SET OUT A 10 A MONTH SCHEDULE.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO RE-EXAMINE THAT QUESTION SAY IN, IN, IN JUNE OR JULY, WHEN WE, WHEN WE GET INTO FULL TILT, WE MAY FIND THAT WE'RE WORKING SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER THAN THE TN.

UM, BUT LET ME SAY THIS, WHEN YOU SAY JUNE, THAT'S NOT TOO BAD BECAUSE WE CAN WAIT.

BUT WHEN YOU SAY JULY, THAT BOTHERS ME A LITTLE, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE TIMEFRAMES IN ORDER TO DECIDE WHETHER WE NEED TO SHIFT INTO THE OTHER YEAR OR NOT, AND WE'VE ALREADY LOST IT THE TIME, WELL, LET ME SHARE THE SHIT.

AND THE REASON I PICKED JULY JULY WAS THE, THE FIRST MONTH IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY BE AT FULL PRODUCTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT SCHEDULE.

SO, UM, LET'S STAY IF WE CAN'T

[00:40:01]

MAKE IT FASTER THAN THAT.

AND SO ALL I'M ASKING YOU TO DO IS TO SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT FASTER.

AND IF YOU CAN COME BACK AND TELL ME IF NOBODY ELSE IS INTERESTED IN THE OCCASIONS THAT HAVE IT, AND IF YOU CAN'T COME BACK AND TELL ME WHY YOU CAME, BUT YOU KNOW, ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY IS I WANT TO BE ABSOLUTELY SATISFIED WHEN I TELL THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA AND WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN DO, PLAIN AND STUFF.

IF I CAN THINK OF SOMETHING, ANOTHER QUESTION I SHOULD'VE ASKED THAT I HAVEN'T DONE ALL THAT I CAN DO IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, I WILL LOSE IT.

I WILL EXAMINE THAT.

I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THEY NEED IT.

AND AS MY TERM, OH, I WILL ASK, I WILL EXAMINE THAT QUESTION TO ASK THAT QUESTION.

UM, THAT'S BASICALLY MY REPORT FOR YOU.

LOVE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

YOU MIGHT HAVE COME ON, BUT IF HE COMES BACK WITH AN ANSWER, SPIT OUT, WHY WOULD YOU GO WHEN I HOPE YOU DON'T TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY? IF YOU DO, I CAN'T GET HELP.

THAT'S THE WAY I APPRECIATE IT AS A NON CITIZEN.

WELL, IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING.

IT'S FRUSTRATING TO PEOPLE ON THE OUTSIDE, LOOKING IN, IT'S FRUSTRATING TO ALL OF US AT THE END, AND I'M SURE IT'S FRUSTRATING FOR YOU.

DON'T WANNA GET TO KNOW WHERE TO START.

THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT NO POINT IN CARE IS APPRECIATED.

PLEASE COME BACK.

I WILL TELL YOU I HAVE ONE MORE TWIST, ANYTHING WRONG WITH RYAN.

LET ME GO ON TO THE HOUSE.

HE TOLD ME , I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE, SO HE'S A LAWYER.

I'M THE GUY THAT GETS AT ONE OF THE HOUSE.

WELL, WAIT A MINUTE.

LASTLY, HE LEFT THE NEXT THING HERE.

OH, MIKE'S STILL OUT THERE.

RIGHT? UH, THE, THE SECOND PART OF, UH, ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS THE CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, UH, FOR THE HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM.

UH, THIS IS TO ACTUALLY GET IT AS A PART OF OUR BUDGET SO THAT WE CAN ASSIGN COST AND EXPEND FUNDS.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ROLL CALL, PLEASE.

YES, YES, YES.

OKAY.

ANYTHING, WHOOPS, THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE END OF IT.

OKAY.

NUMBER FIVE, BEVERLY HERE TO CONSIDER FINANCING.

THE, THE NINE 11 COMMUNICATIONS AT 17, HAVE A DROP RESOLUTION TO ENTER A NEW INSTALLMENT PURCHASE CONTRACT THREW ME FOR A LOOP MAYOR, MAYOR, AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

UM, THE PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT IS TO CONSIDER THE FINANCING OF THE COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY.

WE NEED TO BORROW ABOUT $795,000 FOR THIS PROJECT.

I DID REQUEST PROPOSALS FROM FIVE BANKS AND YOU HAVE A SUMMARY OF THEIR, UM, WHAT THEY HAD TO OFFER.

AND I AM RECOMMENDING THAT WE GO WITH BB AND T THEY'VE OFFERED AN INTEREST RATE OF 5.7, 4%.

THIS FINANCING IS FOR A PERIOD PERIOD OF 15 YEARS, AND WE WILL HAVE, UM, LEVEL PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS DUE ON THAT OF $26,500.

SO AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, I'M REQUESTING THAT YOU ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO ENTER A CONTRACT WITH BB AND T ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH.

SECOND SHEET.

OKAY.

CAN YOU MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT

[00:45:01]

THE RESOLUTION BACK? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS, NOT CALL ROLL, PLEASE? YES, YES, YES, YES.

YEAH.

MR. MAYOR, I THINK THAT'S A BIG JUMP IN THE SAFETY TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS AREA.

THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, THAT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD MOVE AND IT WILL BE AT, UH, AL NEAR THE LAKE.

WILL IT NOT NEXT TO THE POWER UH, NEXT YEAR, SOMETIME PROBABLY THE WAY IT'S GOING.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BEEN IN LAST DECEMBER, BUT, UH, MR. BAD HAS PROBABLY SPEAK TO THAT BETTER THAN I COULD.

SO DOES THAT MEAN WE WON'T TELL AN OLD POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT CAN'T TEAR IT DOWN? I HOPE HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE THERE FOR THAT WEEK.

WE'VE GOT A FINAL INSPECTION ON IT, THE 30TH NEXT WEEK, HOPEFULLY A 9 1 1 DEALER.

AND, UH, HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO, TO, WE PRETTY MUCH FINISHED WHERE WE CAN MOVE IN.

I THINK THERE'S SOME EQUIPMENT THAT IS GOING TO BE PROBABLY MID JUNE BEFORE HE GETS HERE, BUT, UH, WE'LL PROBABLY MOVE IMAGING.

I WOULD JUST ATTACH A SARCASM, BUT THIS THING ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING THERE.

OKAY.

SO RIGHT AFTER THAT, THAT'S CORRECT.

WE'VE ALREADY GOT THE, BOARD'S ALREADY APPROVED THE CONTRACTOR FOR THAT AND WE'LL CHANGE ORDER FOR THAT.

AND THEN WE'LL BE BUILDING THE PARKING LOT, HOPEFULLY BY LATE FALL, WE'LL BE FINISHED WITH ALL OF THAT NANNY USING THE TOWER AT ALL.

IS IT TO ANYTHING ON THAT TOWER AT THE PRESENT TIME? WHAT THE NEW TOWER COMMUNICATE? WE'VE BEEN ON THAT FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW, BUT IF WE MOVE ALL OF THAT EQUIPMENT RIGHT TO THE BASE OF THE TOWER, IT ELIMINATES THE POSSIBILITY OF BREAKS IN THE LINE DURING A STORM OR SOMETHING.

THAT'S A GOOD MOVE.

OKAY.

NEXT THING.

INSTEAD OF GENTLEMEN, LISTEN, MAN, WHERE'D YOU PULL ITEMS. SO THEY GOT CARRIED AWAY.

WE DIDN'T NEED THAT.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THE BOARD NEEDS TO APPROVE.

I'M 16.

THAT INCLUDES A OF FABRIC PULLING.

I WROTE THEM A LOT.

I HAVE TO THE WORLD AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM, BUT I HAVE WRITTEN IT DOWN ON MY COPY AND I'LL HAVE THEM WRITE IT IN ON THE 16TH.

JUST MAKING A COMMENT.

OKAY.

ANOTHER COMMENT ON NUMBER 16, HOW LONG HAVE THEY DONE THE, UH, THE AUDIT FOR THE CITY? HOW MANY YEARS YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT? SINCE I'VE BEEN AT ONE TIME, THERE WAS A RECOMMENDATION.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT CAME FROM THE INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENT OF WOK THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR AUDITOR JUST PERIODICALLY.

AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF THEIR RECOMMENDATION HAD CHANGED OR WHAT I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT FOR PROPOSALS THE NEXT YEAR.

NOT, THEY REALLY SUGGEST THAT YOU LOOK AT, UM, AUDITORS EVERY LIKE FIVE YEARS.

WE HAVE PROBABLY GONE BEYOND THAT FIVE-YEAR PERIOD, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO LOOK AT NEXT YEAR.

OKAY.

THAT, THAT EXPLAINS MY QUESTION.

I DON'T, I DIDN'T WANT TO PULL IT.

I JUST WANTED TO GET THE CLARIFICATION BEFORE WE VOTED ON IT.

THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

I DON'T WANT TO RENEW MY MOTION FOR THE DOCTOR CONSIDERED THE GYM.

THE ABSENCE I'M SEVEN.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.

MR. MATT.

NO, SIR.

I DON'T HAVE ANY GREAT THE REST OF MY, OF THE, UH, WE HAVEN'T MADE THESE TWO, UM, APPOINTMENTS TO THE BEAUTIFICATION AND ON THE APPEARANCE COMMISSION ACTUALLY THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY, UH, MS. BATOR BEFORE HER ACCIDENT IN TEXAS.

UH, SHOULD WE GO AHEAD AND TAKE ACTION ON THIS TONIGHT? IT'S NOT, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY PARTICULAR WARD THAT, AND IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WE NOMINATE, UH, MRS. ANNIE EDWARDS, UH, 29 0 7 MAGNOLIA STREET, AND KEITH MCCLEESE A FIVE 11 MILLER STREET.

AND FILL THOSE POSITIONS.

WE GAVE THAT COMMISSION,

[00:50:01]

THE AUTHORITY TO BRING RECOMMENDATIONS TO US, WHATEVER THAT REPLACEMENT COMPANY I REMEMBER.

YEAH.

AND I NOTICED THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

I THOUGHT WE'D JUST GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF, UH, ALONG WITH, UH, WE NEED TO BEGIN TO LOOK AT A REPLACEMENT, NANCY ISSUES.

THEY LIKE THEIR OWN, I THINK THE BOARD DOES A POINT ON THAT POSITION MADE THEY MAY APPOINT THEIR CHAIRMAN, BUT THAT'S STILL A VACANT POSITION.

YEAH.

BUT IF THEY HAD A CO-CHAIRMAN, WE MIGHT NOTIFY THEM THAT THEY NEED TO CONSIDER REPLACING NANCY, UNFORTUNATELY.

WELL NOW WOULD WE KNOW THE WORDS? I CAN POINT SOMEBODY OUT OF THEIR GROUP TO BE THE CHAIRMAN WE'D BE AWARDS.

WE WOULD POINT SOMEONE TO FILL WITH, RIGHT.

THEY MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR CHAIRMAN AND I THINK THEY ELECT THEIR CHAIRMAN DIRECTLY.

DO THAT TO FEEL THAT SOMETIMES.

NO, SIR, NO, SIR, NO, SIR.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS VERY QUICKLY.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE POLICE OFFICERS OF THE CITY OF NEWBURN FOR A WONDERFUL EVENING, SATURDAY AT THE POLICEMAN'S BALL.

THAT WAS A NUMBER ONE EVENT.

AND THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN WHO WEREN'T ABLE TO ATTEND.

YOU MISSED THE GOODIE, A LOT OF FUN AND, UH, MODEL FELLOWSHIP THERE WITH THE OFFICERS THAT DO SO MUCH FOR US.

AND NUMBER TWO, CONGRATULATIONS TO RALPH PUCKETT AND HIS GROUP, BECAUSE WITH THAT TERRIBLE STORM, WE HAD LAST NIGHT, THE ELECTRICITY WENT OUT AT MY HOUSE THREE TIMES AND STAYED OUT TWO OR THREE SECONDS.

SO APPARENTLY THEY HAVE THE SYSTEM IN EFFECT THAT WHEN THEY HAVE PROBLEM WITH ONE LINE, YOU'RE IMMEDIATELY AUTOMATICALLY FED FROM ANOTHER LINE.

AND I REMEMBER WHEN THAT WAS NOT THE CASE.

SO THEY'RE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB OVER THERE.

I WANNA, I WANNA THANK THEM.

UH, THE LAST ONE, UM, ON THE PROPERTY OWNED BY MR. HAWKS, CALVIN HAWKS OFF SEVENTH STREET, WHICH WE KNOW IS THE RENNIE'S CREEK MINE PROPERTY.

THERE IS AN OLD RIGHT OF WAY THAT COMES FROM OAKS ROAD THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THAT PROPERTY TO SIMMONS STREET.

AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IT'S IT'S A, IS IT A HIGHWAY? WAS THAT IT WAS STREET RIGHT AWAY AT ONE TIME WERE JUST PLANTED AS OLD SEVENTH STREET.

AND I MEAN, THERE'S, THERE'S A BIG HOLE THERE FULL OF WATER NOW.

AND THEY HAVE REQUESTED THAT THIS RIGHT AWAY BE ABANDONED BECAUSE IT DOES GO BEYOND THEIR, UH, THAT MINE AND TO THE OAKS ROAD PROPERTY.

AND I HAVE A RESOLUTION HERE AND THEN IT HAS A MAP.

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT IT'S JUST A NON-EXISTENT ROAD THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY OR CURVING ROAD FROM IT COMES OUT IN NEAR OAKS ROAD SCHOOL AND COMES UP NEAR THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

IT'S JUST A, A FOURTH OF A CIRCLE THROUGH THERE.

WE NORMALLY DO THAT AND WE WOULD HAVE TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS.

THAT IS CALLING, CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING, UH, HAVE A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.

WE SHOULD SEND THAT AS A REVOLUTION.

UH, SO BE THANK YOU, CARLA, ROLL ON THAT.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.

ALL RIGHT.

ANYTHING ELSE MS. FREE? UM, NO, SIR.

THAT PRETTY WELL TAKES CARE OF IT.

NO, THERE'S ANOTHER LITTLE THING THERE, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GO.

IT IT'S JUST THE NEXT ONE IS A PAT ON THE HEAD FOR THE CITY OF NEWBURGH FROM AN OUT-OF-TOWN COUPLE I'LL HOLD IT, UH, YOU KNOW, ALL THIS, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER.

I HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING OUT OF THE MISCELLANEOUS FOR QUITE A WHILE.

SO I JUST CALLED UP, RIGHT? YEAH.

TWO BRIEF METALS, I GUESS ALL OF US KNOW THAT NASTY PALTALK PASS LAST FRIDAY, SHE WORKED FOR THE CITY FOR YEARS.

THERE HAVE BEEN NO SERVICE IN NEWBURN ARM.

HER I'D LIKE TO STAFF TO CONSIDER

[00:55:01]

AT LEAST A, A MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR APPLE, THE BLOOD WORK SESSION.

AND THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD AND DIFFICULT TO PLAN IT BETWEEN NOW AND THEN BECAUSE OF EVERYBODY'S BUSY, BUT I MEAN, THIS IS NOT MANDATORY, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A, OR SOME TYPE OF MEMORIAL SERVICE HELD IN HER.

I ALREADY PLANNED TO DO THAT.

AND IF THE FAMILY DID NOT COME BACK AND DO IT, THEY INDICATED THEY WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, BUT WE'VE NOT SEEN ANYTHING DONE YET.

SO WE WILL BE DOING WHAT IF THEY DON'T DO IT? CAUSE NANCY WAS, UH, WE HAD A FULL PART OF THE CITY FOR A LONG TIME.

AND THE SECOND, UH, ANOTHER LONG TIME EMPLOYEE ROBERT HOARD, WHO WAS THE CITY OF NEWBURGH, MR. ASKER.

I'D LIKE TO MAIL IN HIS HONOR AS WELL AS MS. BARR.

YES, SIR.

OKAY.

WE'LL CALL IT MY OWN SILENCE IN THERE.

I'LL TELL YOU, WE REALLY DOING GOOD THINGS.

GIVE Y'ALL A LITTLE BEFORE WE PLANTED A TREE PLANTING AND I WAS ABLE TO READ A BLOCK FOR ARBOR DAY RAIN THAT WE COULDN'T DO IT THAT DAY.

WE HAD TO COME BACK.

SO IT WAS ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED AND SHE AND I WERE THE ONLY ONES THERE.

I WAS KIDDING ABOUT RETIREMENT BECAUSE I HAD SOLD MY BUSINESS AND RETIRED AND SHE WAS RETIRED.

AND I SAID, NANCY, I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND A DO NOTHING, IT'S A GREAT THING.

AND SHE LAUGHED.

AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY THING IS I GET UP EVERY DAY HOPING THAT I'LL LIVE AT LEAST ONE MORE DAY, BECAUSE YOU'VE WORKED ALL THESE YEARS TO GET THERE AND BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT.

AND I'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT SHE SAID.

AND SHE SAID, OH, I'D SAY TWO, ONE WEEK BEFORE YOU HAD GONE AWAY FROM THERE.

SO NANCY HAD WORKED ON WHEN HE WAS HERE.

THEY ENJOYED, OF COURSE SHE ENJOYED CLASS HERE, BUT IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT WHEN FAILS, IT'S TRUE, MR. MAYOR, WITH, WITH THE IDEA THAT, THAT LONG TIME GOOD EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY DESERVE RECOGNITION.

IT'S BEEN THE, IT'S BEEN A HABIT IN THIS, UH, CITY OF NEWBURN FOR MANY YEARS, THAT NEW FIRETRUCKS BE NAMED AFTER THE MAYOR.

AND IN A COUPLE OF CASES, THERE HAVE BEEN SITUATIONS WHERE TWO FIRE TRUCKS WERE PURCHASED DURING ONE MAYOR'S TERM OF OFFICE.

AND THEY WERE BOTH NAMED FOR THE SAME MAYOR.

I'D LIKE FOR US TO THINK THAT THE NEXT TIME THAT HAPPENS INSTEAD OF NAMING TWO TRUCKS FOR ONE MAYOR NAMED THE FIRST ONE FOR THE MAYOR AND MAYBE NAME ONE FROM MR. BOY, BECAUSE HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED MEN I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE.

AND WE DO HAVE TRUCKS THAT HAVE BEEN NAMED FOR, UH, FIRE CHIEFS.

FOR EXAMPLE, MR. PHILLIPS MARIE PHILLIPS, IT WAS A TRUCK NAME FOR HIM.

UH, HE WAS FIREMAN.

IN FACT, HE TRIED TO BUY THAT TRUCK WHEN IT WAS RETIRED, HE WAS GOING TO PUT IT IN HIS BACKYARD.

BUT, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT IN, IN W IF THAT SITUATION COMES UP, I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO MAYBE CONSIDER THAT, UH, WHEN I TALKING ABOUT 91 AFTER ME, I BROUGHT THAT VERY THING AND TOLD SOME FOLKS IN THE FIRE.

I WAS REALLY EMBARRASSED ABOUT THE TRUCK AND THEY INSISTED ON DOING IT ABOUT A HUNDRED YEAR OLD DISH.

SO WHAT I TOLD THEM, THAT'S MY PROBLEM.

AND MY GRANDFATHER BY THE FIREARM, I, THE THIRD, AS FAR AS MY I'M CONCERNED, IF I WAS AT MY FAMILY, THE TRUCK IS NAMED AFTER THEM AND NOT, I ASKED WHY IT SAYS TOM BAYLESS.

SO IT'S GENERIC.

SO I TRIED IN A SENSE TO DEFEND THAT ROLE A LITTLE BIT ANYWAY, BUT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, I MEAN, THE MAYOR, YOU KNOW, THERE'S OTHER WAYS TO COMMEMORATE THE MAYOR.

IF I WALK UP ON A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T SEE TO COMING OUT HERE AND COMMEMORATE, AND SOME OF THEM WENT TO ALL OF THIS OUT OF THE TRUCK BOYS, BUT I THINK THE GUYS, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY LIKE

[01:00:04]

THE GRAVY POLICE FIREFIGHTING BACK THERE, I ASKED HIM, TOLD THEM THAT THEY WERE GOING TO COMMEMORATE ME OLD, FRED, THE HORSE, HIS HEAD IS OPEN ON ONE SIDE, BUT REST OF THE HORSE TIGHT.

WELL, I AGREE.

I AGREE WITH THE NAMING IT AFTER THE MAYOR AND YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE IT, BUT IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN THAT WE GET ANOTHER TRUCK, I DON'T KNOW.

UH, I THINK THE FIREFIGHTERS ARE REALLY, YOU KNOW, INVOLVED IN THAT KIND OF THING WHERE YOU SAY, IF I BROUGHT THAT UP FIRST TIME AROUND AND THEY WANT WOULDN'T BREAK THE TRADITION, I THINK IT'S GREAT.

AND ESPECIALLY COMMEMORATING THE FIREARMS. I MEAN, ALL THESE GUYS, AND THERE ARE PICTURES OF THE EGGS, CHEESE, AND ALL THAT.

AIN'T EVEN IN THE OLD, WE WOULDN'T NEED IT DONE WITH MILESTONES.

AND I AGREE WITH ANYBODY.

I LIKE DAN TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE GOT HERE.

WE HAD A REQUEST JOHNSON STREET TO 200 BLOCK FOR, UH, MEMORIAL DAY.

YEAH.

THE STREET DOWNTOWN, UH, UH, RESIDENCE.

AND, UM, THE EXPLANATION IS GIVEN TO THEM AS TO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE OF TERMS OF FILING.

I THINK THEY ARE INTEGRATED TO EVERYTHING HAS BEEN REQUESTED OF JUST LIKE BOARD'S APPROVAL.

YEAH.

THERE'S NOT ANY PROBLEM WITH POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE'VE, WE'VE TALKED TO, UH, BOTH POLICE AND FIRE AS LONG AS VIOLIN IS THERE, YOU KNOW, HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THAT MOTION SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE.

OKAY.

ATTORNEY, NO REPORT.

WE LIKED IT INCREDIBLY.

YEAH.

THANK YOU.
