SO THIS NEW RESOLUTION AND MY MOTION TO ADOPT THE CONSENT AGENDA, WE NEED A MODE ON THAT.
UM, UH, APPOINTMENTS, WE HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS.
I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, MOVE TO, UH, REAPPOINTS UH, REVEREND ALTO, SAMSON, BACK ON THE ELECTRIC SERVICE BOARD, REPRESENTING WAR T FOR A SUGGESTION OF MR.
UH, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO THE POLICE, SEVERAL SERVICE BOARD, UH, MR. RICHARD L. PECK, WHO HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED BY CHIEF PALOMBO AND ALSO BY MR. BALLENGER.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIM NOMINATED TO THE BOARD MEETING.
UH, UH, HI VICKY, WILL YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT? UH, THE ATTORNEY'S REPORT CITY MANAGER'S REPORT HAVE ONE ITEM, UM, IS MIKE BARNETT'S ON ACTUALLY, AND I'LL LET HIM EXPLAIN IT AND I'LL PASS OUT THE INFORMATION AT PREVIOUS OCCASIONS.
I THINK ONE WAS A WORKSHOP MEETING.
UM, AND I THINK ON ONE OTHER OCCASION, WE HAD MENTIONED ABOUT PRIORITIES IN WHICH WE'RE GOING TO ELEVATE HOMES OUT IN WOODROW.
THE, UM, THE BOARD POLICY, WHICH IS IN PLACE RIGHT NOW IS THAT WE ELEVATE FROM THE LOWEST TO THE LOWEST HOUSES FIRST.
UM, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WAS A RESOLUTION OR WHETHER IT WAS THE MOTION OR WHAT IT WAS, BUT THAT'S BEEN OUR INSTRUCTION FROM THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN.
WE HAVE OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HAD, UM, SOME COMMENTS CONCERNING, UH, ANY POTENTIAL, WHETHER YOU MAY WANT TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN OTHER OCCUPIED HOMES, RENTAL HOMES, AND VACANT HOMES.
UM, THIS BECOMES PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT WHEN WE HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT THE PRICES WE HAVE GOTTEN ARE HIGHER THAN THE ACTUAL BUDGET NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE.
SO IN ALL PROBABILITY, THERE MAY BE SOME HOMES AT THE END OF THIS PROGRAM WHO MAY, AND I'LL USE YOUR WORD MAY IS VERY LOOSELY, UM, MAY NOT BE FULLY FUNDED.
AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S TRUE.
WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED BY NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD THE POLICY AND STRAIGHT IN PLACE, UH, FOR THE PRIORITY IN WHICH YOU'D LIKE TO ACT.
WE'VE GIVEN YOU FOUR ALTERNATIVES HERE, ALTERNATIVE ONE AFTER AND IN THE MIDDLE, MAKE A SIDE COMMENT TO THIS.
BEFORE I GO THROUGH IT, WE MET AT LENGTH WITH, UH, MAYOR BAYLIS YESTERDAY AT A PROGRESS MEETING, AND HE HAD RECOMMENDED ONE CHANGE ON ALTERNATIVE ONE.
UM, AND THAT WAS TO CHANGE 9.5 FEET TO 10 FEET, WHICH WOULD MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH YOUR NEW BUILDING CODE, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A VERY GOOD SUGGESTION.
SO I'M GONNA CHANGE MY RECOMMENDATION.
ACCORDING, UM, ALTERNATIVE ONE, THE FIRST PRIORITY WOULD BE OWNER OCCUPIED UNITS WITH A FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION OF 10 FEET OR LESS 10 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
PRIOR TO TWO WOULD BE RENTAL UNITS WITH A FLOOR ELEVATION OF 10 FEET OR LESS PRIORITY THREE WOULD BE OWNER-OCCUPIED UNITS WITH A FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION OF GREATER THAN 10 FEET.
PRIORITY FOUR WOULD BE RENTAL UNITS WHERE THEY FLOOR ELEVATION OF GREATER THAN 10 FEET AND PRIORITY FIVE WOULD BE VACANT UNITS FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST ALTERNATIVE TWO
[00:05:01]
WOULD BE PRIORITY.ONE WOULD BE ALL OWNER OCCUPIED UNITS FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST THEN RENTAL UNITS FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST.
AND THEN VACANT UNITS AS IS APPLICABLE FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST ALTERNATIVE THREE WOULD HAVE THE OWNER OCCUPIED AND RENTAL UNITS FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST.
AND THEN THE VACANT UNITS FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST, THEN ALTERNATIVE FOUR WOULD ELEVATE ALL UNITS HERE REGARDLESS OF OCCUPANCY FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST, WHICH REALLY IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
DO YOU HAVE ANY, AND I'LL BE IN THE GETS THE WAY WE'RE MESSING WITH A LOT OF NUMBERS.
NO, NO, SIT, YOU HAVE A CHANGE OF ALTERNATE ONE FROM 9.5 FEET TO 10 FEET.
DOES THAT CHANGE THE RECOMMENDATION TO ALTERNATIVE ONE SEEMS TO BE THE MOST EQUITABLE? NO, SIR.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE SHOP OFTEN AT ONE, RATHER THAN BE AGONIZED OVER THIS.
UH, TOM, TOM HAS BEEN PRETTY WELL INVOLVED IN THIS THING FROM THE BEGINNING.
UH, WHICH, UH, WAS HE LEANING TOWARDS NUMBER ONE AT YOUR MEETING YESTERDAY? UM, UH, I THINK THE CONCERN WAS, UH, BASED ON WHAT THE PRICES WERE GETTING.
WE ASSURE NOT AT ALL HOUSES, WE WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION.
IT WAS PROBABLY A DESIRE TO HAVE MORE OF AN EMPHASIS ON OWNER OCCUPIED PROPERTY.
AND I THINK THE MAIN PAIN WITH THAT, MY RECOLLECTION, YES, IT'S MAIN COMMENTS WERE, IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE 9.5 10, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU KNEW, HALF THE BUILDING CODE.
WHY IS ALL ALTERNATIVE IS TELL ME ABOUT ALTERNATIVE NUMBER TWO.
IS THAT NOT BETTER THAN ALTERNATIVE? NUMBER ONE, RAISING IT TO 10 FEET? I REALLY DIDN'T DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE AND TWO.
IS THAT NUMBER ONE? NUMBER TWO WOULD ELEVATE HOUSES THAT ARE CURRENTLY FROM 10 AND ABOVE 12.
AND I GUESS YOU HAD SOME HOUSES THAT ARE CURRENTLY AT THE CITY'S STANDARD ALREADY OR ABOVE.
IF YOU CAN GET EVERYBODY UP TO THE POLICE, THE CITY STANDARD, WE HAVE A BUNCH OF RENTAL PROPERTIES HERE THAT ARE SEVEN FEET, VERY LOW SHOULDN'T WE, BEFORE WE START RATING THE REMAINING ON HER OCCUPIES
WE HAVE MOST TO ME LIKE YOU GAVE THIS MATTER CONSIDERABLE THOUGHT.
SO I LIKE TO, TO RENEW MY MOTION TO ADOPT ALTERNATIVE ONE ALTERNATIVE REASONING.
SAY AYE, IS THAT THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE IT ALL IN FAVOR? SAY AYE.
WELL, I WAS TRYING VERY HARD TO ASK YOU IF ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE HAD ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE'S A GENTLEMAN HERE WHO'S BEEN FOLLOWING THING CLOSELY FROM THE WORD GO.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT.
I HAD A GUY COME UP TO MY HOUSE AND UH, HE SAID MY HOUSE I'LL BE ABLE TO WALK WITH YOU WHENEVER.
SO WHETHER IT BE AT HIGH
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT A MINUTE.
LET THE GENTLEMEN STORE
[00:10:01]
WHAT HE GOT AT RANGE CREEK DUDE, ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, JUST, JUST CLEARING LAND.HE CAN'T MIND IT WITHOUT A ZONING CHANGE AND NO REQUEST.
WELL, HE COULD BUILD SOMETHING, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT HE'S DOING.
HE'S HE'S UH, HE'S GETTING READY TO MIND OUTSIDE THE CITY.
HE HAS NOT DISCUSSED HIS PLANS WITH ME, BUT HE IS NOT IN THE BUILDING BUSINESS.
SO I DON'T, I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO BUILD ANYTHING.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO COMMENT THAT THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER TODAY THAN IT DID.
AND WE WANT TO THANK HIM FOR THAT.
HE SAID HE TOOK CARE OF BETTER MEETING ADJOURN.
YOU REALLY THINK TACO BELL, NOT EVEN A CHICKEN BURRITO JUMPED IN, HEY, YOU GOT IT.
YOU GOT ANOTHER CALL COMING IN.
IT'S NOT RUNNING YET, BUT I TALKED WITH THE ED THIS MORNING.
