SO MS. BARBARA IS HERE TONIGHT AND SHE WILL BE MAKING THAT PRESENTATION FAR AS IF YOU GO TO THE PODIUM.
THANK YOU TO THE BOARD OF DEVELOPMENT TO MISS THE RECENTLY, MY NAME IS SUSAN BARBER AND I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHRISTIAN POUND BARRIER SOCIETY RESTORATION AND CORPORATION.
THE SOCIETY IS 107 YEARS OLD AS OF THIS YEAR, 2022.
WE'RE HERE TO CONTINUE TO RENDER SPIRITUAL AND GUIDANCE TO THE RESTORATION OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
THIS IS A CHRISTIAN BASED SOCIETY AND IT'S IN NEED OF ADDITIONAL SPACE.
THE SOCIETY IS LOCATED EIGHT 10 PAVEY AVENUE, WHICH IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS PROPERTY.
WE'RE AN INQUIRY FOR THE LOT ACROSS THE STREET, WHICH IS 803 PAY THE AVENUE.
THIS SOCIETY WOULD LIKE TO BE LIKE THIS PROPERTY TO BE A PART OF ITS NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, BUT PARKING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES PERTAINING TO THE RESTORATION OF THE COMMUNITY IS BY THE CHRISTIAN PELL VERUS SOCIETY.
THE CHRISTIAN POUNDER SOCIETY IS ASKING THE CITY OF NEWBURGH, WHAT THIS PROPERTY AND UNDERSTAND IT.
THERE IS A PROCESS OR WE THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO REQUEST A PURCHASE OF THIS PROPERTY.
[00:05:01]
FOR ME TO ME ALL PAST OUR WORK I'M CHAIR OF THE HOUSING WORKING GROUP TO SPEAK, UH, YOU'RE NOT PLANNING ON BUILDING ANY STRUCTURES ON THIS PROPERTY.YOU'RE YOU SAID PARKING AND OTHER PARKING AT OTHER, UM, ACTIVITIES LIKE, UM, WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING SOMETHING FOR JUNETEENTH AND WE NEED SOME ADDITIONAL SPACE.
WE WOULD LIKE TO USE THAT PROPERTY OR THAT SPACE, LIKE FOR ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE FEEDING OR, UM, JUST CONGREGATING THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE ROOM ON THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING TO BE ABLE TO DO ALSO FOR, UM, OTHER ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
LIKE DURING THE SUMMERTIME WE, OR STARTING IN THE SPRING, WE DO, UH, THINGS FOR EASTER.
WE DO THINGS FOR WHICH WE'RE GETTING READY TO DO SOMETHING.
WE JUST DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE SPACE THAT WE NEED ON THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF OUR PROPERTY.
BUT YOU DON'T, YOU DON'T ENVISION ANY STRUCTURES DO NOT AT THIS POINT.
HAVE WATER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? IT'S PROBABLY RIGHT THERE ON CEDAR STREET, PROVIDENCE, ONE OF THE LOWEST SPOTS ON CEDAR STREET.
UM, QUESTIONS FROM OTHER COMMISSIONERS.
UH, DOES EVERYONE HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE BARREL SOCIETY IS AND WHAT ITS FUNCTION WAS AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT IT HAS BEEN TO THAT COMMUNITY? AND IF YOU HAVEN'T, I WOULD LOVE TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY TO IT.
ALSO, AS I SAID, THE CHRISTIAN PALLBEARER SOCIETY IS 107 YEAR OLD SOCIETY.
IT STARTED WAY BACK IN THE DAY WHEN, UM, THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY, UM, AND HER NAME WAS ELLA BURDEN.
AND, UM, SHE WOULD START WITH CHILDREN.
THEY WERE NOT DOING ANYTHING AS THEY'RE DOING TODAY.
SHE WOULD GATHER THEM AT THE HALL AND SHE WOULD GET THEM FLAGS.
AND SHE WOULD MARCH THEM DOWN TO THE SOLDIER CEMETERY ON THE 30TH OF MAY, THEY WOULD HAVE SERVICES THAT WE HAVE A BAND AND OF COURSE WE'D HAVE TO HAVE LICENSE FROM THE CITY.
THEY ALSO, FOR THE SOCIETY ITSELF, TOOK CARE OF THE COMMUNITIES WITH FOOD, WITH BURIALS, THEY WOULD HELP ASSIST PEOPLE WHO NEEDED TO BE BURIED THAT DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO BURY THEIR LOVED ONES.
THEY WOULD FEED PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT AFFORD TO GET ANYTHING TO EAT.
THE POUND STANDS FOR A POUND OF MEAT, A POUND OF FLOUR, A POUND OF CHEESE, A POUND OF SUGAR, UH, TO TIDE THE FAMILY OVER FOR AT LEAST A WEEK.
AND THIS, THIS WENT ON FOR YEARS.
AND AGAIN, OF COURSE, WITH BURYING YOUR LOVED ONES TO HELP ASSIST THEM WITH THAT WOULD NOT, BARRY WOULD NOT USE THE WHOLE EXPENSE OF BURIAL BECAUSE, EXCUSE ME, BECAUSE WE COULD NOT AFFORD IT, BUT WE WOULD, UM, ASSIST IN IT TO PAY PROBABLY ALMOST HALF OF WHAT IT COSTS TO BURY SOMEONE AT THAT TIME.
AND IT WAS VERY HELPFUL TO THE COMMUNITY.
IT ALSO, UM, ASSISTED IN OTHER CIVIC ACTIVITIES AND IT ALSO ASSISTED IN ALL THE CHURCHES.
IT WASN'T UP THE NOMINATION THING.
IT WAS FOR EVERYBODY AND ANYONE THAT WAS INTERESTED AND NEEDED HELP FROM THE SOCIETY.
OTHER THAN BACK IN THE SIXTIES, IN THE SEVENTIES AND MY FORMATIVE YEARS, I HAD A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY SEE IT WORK FIRSTHAND.
AND THERE USED TO BE A TIME THAT FUNERALS DID NOT COST EIGHT, NINE AND $10,000, BUT THEY WOULD COST A THOUSAND DOLLARS AT THE MOST.
AND THE POUND SOCIETY WOULD GIVE UP TO $300 A THIRD BECAUSE YOU CAN ALWAYS GET A THIRD FROM YOUR CHURCH.
YOU CAN GET A THIRD FROM THE SOCIETY AND YOU CAN GET A THIRD FROM WHAT WAS CALLED THE BURL ASSOCIATION BACK THEN AT PEOPLE USED TO HAVE INSURANCE AND WOULD PAY US 25 CENTS A MONTH OR 75 CENTS EVERY THREE MONTHS.
BUT IT WAS MORE SO FOR SUPPORT.
AND IT WAS THE COMMUNITY COMING TO GATHER AT A TIME THAT WAS NOT VERY THAT DEATH.
WASN'T A DEATH WASN'T UNDERSTOOD AS IT IS NOW.
AND IT WASN'T STUDIED AS IT IS NOW, BUT IT WAS IN MY FORMATIVE YEARS THAT I FIRST BECAME A FAN OF THE PIONEER SOCIETY
[00:10:01]
OF THE BARREL SOCIETY.UH, REAL QUICK, WE JUST TO CLARIFY, THANK YOU FOR ASKING YOU A QUESTION, BUT YOU DID SHARE SOME GOOD INFORMATION ON THAT.
UM, JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE IT ON THE AGENDA AS, UM, POTENTIALLY YOU PURCHASING A PROPERTY.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS THE NONPROFIT THAT WE PURCHASING.
IS IT A NONPROFIT INC ORGANIZATION? UM, AND IT TENDS TO STAY THAT WAY, UM, BECAUSE THAT WE'RE OUT TO TRY TO HELP SOMEONE WE'RE NOT OUT TO MAKE IT WHOLE, THAT ALL THE MONIES THAT WE HAVE, WHICH WE HAVE EVERY FOURTH, SUNDAY, WE HAVE A SERVICE AT THE HALL ON PAVEY AVENUE AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT MINISTERS FROM DIFFERENT CHURCHES COME AND SPEAK AND THEIR MEMBERSHIP COME AND JOIN US FOR THE SERVICE, THE MONIES THAT ARE RAISED FOR THE UPKEEP OF THE BUILDING, AND ALSO TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITIES.
UM, WE JUST RECENTLY, UM, DID A, UH, EASTER THING, WHICH WE WENT OUT AND PURCHASED A WHOLE BUNCH OF LILIES AND WE GAVE THEM TO THE CHURCHES.
UM, BEFORE THEN HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR BALLANTINE, BUT, UH, AND CHRISTMAS AND CHRISTMAS TIME, WE GOT ALL OF THE CHILDREN THAT WE COULD EVER THINK OF AND TRY TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT IT, THAT WE WERE GIVING AWAY FREE CHRISTMAS TREE BACKS.
AND IT WOULD HA IT HAD FRUIT, CANDY, NO TOYS, SOMETHING FOR THEIR BODIES, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD HELP THEM.
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY GET TOYS AND STUFF AT CHRISTMAS, THEY DON'T ALWAYS GET FRUIT.
THEY MAY KIND OF KEPT, CANNOT EVEN AFFORD IT, BUT THIS WAS SOMETHING FOR THEM.
AND IT WAS, UH, IT WAS TARGETED AT CHILDREN AGES FOUR TO 12, AND THEY CAME AROUND AND THEY GOT THE BAGS AND IT MADE THEM VERY HAPPY.
IT MADE ME HAPPY TO SEE A SMILE ON THEIR FACES.
AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT AND BRINGING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT.
THEY PREACH ABOUT LOVE, BUT YOU HAVE TO SHOW IT.
AND THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO UNDERSTAND IS BY SHOWING IT.
WELL, WHAT WE'LL NEED IS A MOTION OR RECOMMENDATION ON THE CITY OF NEWPORT, BECAUSE THIS IS THE CITY COUNTY ON WATCHING.
SHE HAS TO GO THROUGH CITY HALL.
SO WE HAVE ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION.
AND JUST SO THE MEMBERS ARE CLEAR AS TO THE ANALYSIS AND PROCESSING THIS INFORMATION, THE FIRST STEP IN YOUR DELIBERATION, BEFORE YOU MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, I USED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS COMMISSION HAS USED FOR THIS PARTICULAR LAW.
CURRENTLY IT IS A JUNK JOINT SAY THE COUNTY OWNED OWNERSHIP.
BUT AS YOU KNOW, THERE HAS BEEN A FREE CONVEYANCES IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA, SO THAT IF THERE WAS A REQUEST THAT WAS NEEDED AT THIS COMMISSION, WE WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PETITION THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR, FOR THAT PROPERTY.
IF YOU CAN TURN THAT THIS COMMISSION DOES NOT HAVE USE FOR THAT PROPERTY AND USE.
UM, WHEN I SAY USE, YOU DON'T INTEND TO BILL, WHETHER IT'S IN THE FLOOD, PLAIN, THE DATA AND ALL THOSE FACTORS, IF YOU DETERMINE THAT YOU ALL DON'T HAVE A USE IN THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR ANALYSIS IS WHETHER THE, THE TYPE OF VIEWS THAT MS. BARBARA HAS FORECASTED IS CONSISTENT WITH YOUR REDEVELOPMENT CLAIM.
IF YOU FIND THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE, AND THEN THIS BARBERS ORGANIZATION'S INTENDED USAGE OF THE LOT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN.
THEN YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY OF NEWBURGH INITIATE UPSET BID PROCESS FOR MS. BARBARA'S ORGANIZATION, WHOMEVER TO PLACE A BID TO ULTIMATELY GAIN OWNERSHIP OF THIS LIFE.
IF THEY ARE ON THE, SORRY, COULD YOU BRING THE MAP UP AND GET, UH, VICE CHAIR OR PARABLE WOULD TALK ABOUT THAT? THE HOUSING WORKING GROUP AND THE PROBLEMS THINGS THAT THE ATTORNEY HAS SAID, CAN YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT STREET RIGHT THERE RUN.
AND SO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE FLOOD ZONE.
I DON'T HAVE THE CONTOURS ON THIS PARTICULAR.
CAUSE IT'S SO OBVIOUS THAT THEY'VE GOT TO GET UP TO THAT DETAIL.
SOME OF THE MORE SO FEAR AREA OF THIS PART OF SENIOR STREET MIRRORS.
WE HAVE, WE WILLIAMS THAT LOT NEXT TO THEM.
IS THAT A CITY COUNTY WATER AS WELL? YEAH.
THE LAWN ON THE OTHER THAT OTHER THAT, YEAH, I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THE CITY OKAY.
IT'S ACROSS THE STREET IN FRONT OF ME.
THE HOUSING WORK GROUP DID HAVE THEIR LITTLE MEETING YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND WE DISCUSSED PROPERTY AND WE DETERMINED THAT, THAT IT HAS NO, UH, INTRINSIC VALUE TO THE, UH, HOUSING WORK GROUP FOR,
[00:15:01]
UH, STRUCTURED THEIR DEVELOPMENT OF, UH, HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES.THEY'RE MAINLY DUE TO THIS LOCATION IN THE FLOOD PLAIN, OR RATHER SEVERE FLOOD PLAIN SITUATION.
IF WE GET UP ON ALL MOTION, THERE'S NO FURTHER QUESTIONS LIKE THE RECOMMENDATION I WOULD LIKE TO THE RECOMMENDATION.
SO I THINK YOUR MOTION MIGHT BE YOU MOVE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN OR THE CITY OF NEW BARN INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS FOR THE SALE OF EIGHT OR THREE PATY AVENUE.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR ARREST IF YOU WERE CATHOLIC.
SO LIKE THE VIEW OPTIONS, I'M GOING TO READ THROUGH THAT TECHNOLOGY.
[6. Consider making a recommendation for 612 Second Avenue]
RECOMMENDATION FOR SIX, 12, SECOND, HAVING YOU AND I HAD SPOKEN TO MR. ROBINSON.HE IS HERE TONIGHT TO MAKE A PRESENTATION.
MARK ROBERTS WITH TROY MELBOURNE.
WHO'S WHO'S ALSO HERE, UH, ON THE RISE UP NEWBURN, OUR LLC, WE PURCHASED SIX, 10, A SINGLE FAMILY HOME RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS 20 BY 90 PARCEL THAT IS ADJACENT TO OURS.
UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO JUST KIND OF ADD IT TO A LOT OF THAT.
YES, IT'S ACTUALLY, YEAH, TWO LOTS.
THEY WOULD BASICALLY COMBINE IT WITH A LOT THAT WE HAVE NOW, UH, SPAGHETTI DRIVEWAY, TRULY OFF THE STREET, AS OPPOSED TO BEING OFF THE STREET THIS MUCH AND OPEN YOUR MARRIAGE, THEN WHEN YOU COME OUT AND WHY, SO THAT'S THE MAIN PURPOSE OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO WITH IT, JUST SO YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO AS BRIDES UP, WE PURCHASE PROPERTIES IN THIS AREA, FIXING THEM UP TO BE RENTED OUT, MAINTAINED THE RENTALS FOREVER.
BASICALLY OUR PLAN, YOU KNOW, WE DO WORK WITH, UH, TWIN RIVERS TO FIND A RESIDENCE THAT'S US IN A QUICK NUTSHELL.
CAN YOU MAKE IT LARGER? SO, I MEAN, CAN YOU EXPAND, UM, NOT THAT PICTURE THAT I CAN FEEL HER AND WHILE YOU DO THAT PROPERTY, PROBABLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT THAT WAS, HAS BEEN A DUMPING SITE ON THE AREA YOU WORKED WITH THE CITY TO GET SOME OF THE TRASH AND THINGS.
PROBABLY GOING TO BE RIGHT HERE.
THAT SHOULD BE 6, 10, 6, 12, THEN THE LOT.
HOW MANY PROPERTIES DO YOU, OR DOES YOUR LLC CURRENTLY OWN AND THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA? YES, I'M GUESSING TOO, BUT WE HAVE ONE OVER IN A GREEN, GREEN STREET REINSURANCE ALMOST IN THAT LAST PICTURE.
DO WE HAVE ON OTHER PROPERTIES ON THAT STREET, IS THAT WHERE WE'VE BEEN ASSEMBLING OR IS IT FIRST WHERE WE'VE BEEN ASSEMBLED? IT'S NOT A FURTHER, CLOSER, NEXT BLOCK.
AND WE DON'T KNOW MANY OR THE COUNTY DOESN'T EAT ANY.
FOR THE QUESTIONS MS. ROBERTSON, DID I UNDERSTAND YOU TO SAY THAT YOUR GROUP IS WORKING WITH TWIN RIVER OPPORTUNITIES? YES.
SO YOU WENT DOWN THE SECTION EIGHT PATH WITH YOUR PROPERTY THAT HAS THAT PREFERENCE
[00:20:01]
BETWEEN, AND THEN YOU TRY TO PLUG IT MUCH BETTER THANYOU MENTIONED THAT YOU DON'T WANT OTHER PROPERTY IN THIS GRADE AND THIS AND THAT.
BASICALLY YOU HAVE OTHER PROPERTIES HERE AROUND TOWN THAT YOU GUYS JUST AGREE.
SO ONE QUESTION I HAVE IS WHEN WE LAID OUT THE GUIDELINES FOR THE COMMISSION, DID WE INSTITUTE THE RENTAL PROGRAM, DID THAT PASS? AND IS THAT IN PLACE? WHEN I SAY RENTAL PROGRAM WHERE CERTAIN STANDARDS AS THE RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM, THAT WAS IN THE, IN THE PLAN, IT'S NOT BEEN, NOT THAT IT DOMINANT, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF, A LOT OF I'S AND, AND T'S CROSSING THAT PROGRAM FOR WHAT I REMEMBER TALKING ABOUT IT.
AND HE'S WANTING TO TURN THIS INTO A PARKING LOT THOUGH.
CORRECT? YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BUILD ONE BUILDING.
SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BUILD A SPECTROMETER.
THE PROPERTY THAT YOU ALL HAVE ON THE GREEN STREET, IS IT ADJACENT TO THE DEAL FIELD CHURCH.
THEY DIDN'T DO A LOT OF WORK ON THOSE TWO HOUSES, KNOW WHO THE BROWN HOUSES.
MADAM CHAIR, THAT WILL ALSO COME AT THAT THE HOUSING WORK GROUP WITH PROPERTY, UH, YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND THEY'RE MEETING.
AND AGAIN, WE HAVE NO, UH, OWNERSHIP IN THIS GENERAL AREA TO COMBINE WITH IT.
THE LOT ITSELF HAS ONLY 22 FEET WIDE, WHICH WHEN YOU LOOK AT SETBACKS IN THE CURRENT, UH, REDEVELOPMENT PLAN WITH CALLS FOR FIVE FOOT SIDELINES, SETBACKS, UH, YOU WOULD TO BUILD A STRUCTURE THAT YOU WOULD BE AT A 12 FOOT WIDE HOUSE.
UM, SO WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO UTILIZE THAT PROPERTY.
FOR OTHER DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING, YOU PAY YOURSELF 62 SHORT IT'S, 22 6.
WHO DO YOU GET TO DO YOUR SURVEY? UM, I TOOK THAT FROM THE YOU'RE TOLD THEY GET A SURVEY.
UH, THANK YOU, MISS MICHELLE, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? SO CAN WE MAKE A MOTION? CAN WE MOVE? IT'S BEEN COMMISSION IS INCLINED TO WANT DETERMINED THAT THERE'S NO SUITABLE USAGE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION PURPOSES AND THAT THE USAGE THAT THE GENTLEMAN'S FORECAST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, THAT EMOTION MIGHT BE STYLED IN THIS FASHION THAT YOU MOVE TO RECOMMEND TO THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN TO INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS FOR SIX, 12, SECOND AVENUE.
LIKE TO MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION YEAH.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT PUBLICLY AND I HOPE I'M NOT OUT OF THE ORDER.
I WOULD PUBLICLY LIKE TO THINK THIS LLC, UH, THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ME, BUT I'VE SEEN THEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
I KNOW WHAT YOU ALL WERE DEALING WITH WITH THOSE WOULD THAT RESIDENCE ON GREEN STREET, I'VE SEEN YOU ALL CONSISTENTLY AND CONSTANTLY WORKING ON IT AND BRINGING IT UP SO THAT IT'S NOT THE ASSHOLE THAT IT HAD BEEN FOR YEARS ON POINT TO BRING THE STREETS.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TELL YOU, THANK YOU.
I'D LOVE TO SHOW YOU AND SAY I'M ALWAYS THERE.
LET ME DO TO AGAIN, HOW ABOUT THAT ALL IN FAVOR.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO THE AGENDA ITEM
[4. Working group updates]
ALL THROUGH WORK AND, UH, ANYTHING FOR US FOR TONIGHT.[00:25:01]
ON MAY THE NINTH ON MONDAY.I ACTUALLY HAD THE HONOR OF RIDING OUT WITH MR. MARVIN WILLIAMS CITY MANAGER.
WE DID A SHORT WALKTHROUGH AND A RIDE THROUGH IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA.
AND FIRST OF ALL, THE REDEVELOPMENT TRANSITIONAL RESIDENCE LOCATED ON EUBANK STREET IS CURRENTLY, STILL PRETTY MUCH IN THE SAME POSITION AND IN THE SAME AREA, THERE'S NOT BEEN ANY FOOTING PORT AND THE BARRIERS HAVE BEEN FAKED.
SPEEDILY MAINTAINED PRETTY MUCH SEVERAL PROPERTIES OWNED BY THE CITY HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED, UH, BY MYSELF AND MR. WILLIAMS. AND THEY ARE SLATED FOR CERTAIN ATTENTION OF OLD ROAD BRUSH GRASS, TREE LIMBS ON POWER LINES AND ET CETERA.
THESE PROPERTIES WILL BE IN PHASE ONE OF THE COMMUNITY CLEAN UP.
WE'VE ALSO IDENTIFIED SOME OF THE LOTS, UH, SUCH AS MAIN IN U BANKS AND G STREETS, 1121, MYRTLE, THE CORNER OF ELLEN AND FIRST AVENUE, WHICH IS A TRAILER THAT IS THERE.
AND I THINK WE DID ACQUIRE THAT PROPERTY.
UM, THAT IS IN DIRE NEED OF BEING CUT BACK BEHIND THAT TRAILER.
IT IS BOARDED UP NOW, RIGHT THERE ON THE CORNER, ACROSS THE STREET FROM SOUTH SIDE CHURCH.
UM, ALSO WE LOOKED AT TWO PROPERTIES, ONE ON THE CORNER OF ELM AND SECOND AVENUE THAT IS OWNED BY THE CITY AND THE CORNER OF, AND EUBANKS, WHICH IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE THE GOVERNOR ROAD STORE WAS.
WE WERE LOOKING AT MAYBE PUTTING DUMPSTERS DURING THE COMMUNITY CLEANUP AND ALSO LEAVING THEM IN PLACE TO KIND OF ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE GARBAGE THAT HAS GATHERED IN UNTIL WE CAN THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE TO DO FOR THIS GARBAGE PICKUP, AS IT RELATES TO THE RECYCLABLES AND THE WEEKLY GARBAGE PICKUP BY, I CAN'T THINK OF THE NAME OF THE COMPANY.
SO THERE'S ALSO A PROPERTY BEHIND THE CHURCH BEHIND STARS THAT WE HAVE LOCATED, UH, SEVERAL THAT ARE NOT OWNED BY THE CITY WITH DIFFERENT HOMEOWNERS.
UM, MR. WHERE IT WAS, WE'LL BE GETTING IN CONTACT WITH THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS, GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO COME AND JOIN US IN HELPING THEM TO CLEAN UP THEIR PROPERTY.
WE WILL NOT BE GOING ON ANYBODY'S PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO, AND WE WILL NOT BE GOING ON TO CLEAN UP ANYBODY'S PROPERTY.
WE'RE BASICALLY TRYING TO LET THEM KNOW THAT IF THEY NEED SOME ASSISTANCE AND SOME GUIDANCE, THEN WE WILL HELP THEM BRING IT OUT TO THE STREET AND HAUL IT AWAY.
NOW, THERE ARE SOME OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE OWNED BY THE CITY BEFORE WE CAN REALLY GET INTO HAVING THE COMMUNITY AND NOTIFYING THEM TO CLEAN UP THEIR PROPERTY.
THE CITY HAS TO SHOW SOME GOOD FAITH AND CUT BACK SOME OF THE BRUSH THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED ON SOME OF THESE OTHER PROPERTIES.
NOW WE HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE EAST ROSE STREET, DEPUTY FIELD STORMWATER PROJECT HAS JUST COMPLETED ITS PHASE ONE AND IT'S LOOKING A LOT BETTER.
THE WHOLE AREA IS LOOKING A LOT BETTER.
UM, MR. WIGGLES WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS, THE CITY EMPLOYEES AND THE COMMUNITY RESIDENTS.
WE WILL BE OFFERING GLOVES, TRASH BAGS, ET CETERA.
AND WE WILL LET THEM KNOW IF THE TRASH PICKUP HE WILL BE MEETING WITH THE DEPARTMENT HEADS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE PROPERTIES IDENTIFIED.
AND ALSO WHAT DATES WORK BEST FOR PUBLIC WORKS.
AS WE SAID, THERE WILL BE THREE PHASES.
PHASE ONE WILL BE A MORE SIMPLER PHASE, BUT WE WANT TO DO IT IN THE SAME AREA.
PHASE ONE WILL ALSO INCLUDE FIRST AVENUE, SECOND AVENUE AND THIRD AVENUE, AS IT RELATES TO GARBAGE PICKUP, THERE'S NOT A HIGH INFLUX OF BRUSHING OVERGROWN AND IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER SINCE WE STARTED THE FIRST AND THE SECOND COMMUNITY CLEANUP.
NOW PHASE THREE, WE'LL CONCENTRATE ON THE WALL BELLAMY AREA, REDEVELOPMENT AREA, WHICH IS SOUTH OF BROAD.
UM, HE'S GOING TO SHARE THOSE LOCATIONS.
AS I SAID, WITH BUTLERS MURDERS AND THE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISORS AND THE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISORS WHO WILL ULTIMATELY SET THE DATE AND LOCATIONS FOR ALL PHASES OF THE COMMUNITY CLEANUP.
THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF WORK TO BE DONE IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA, BUT THE
[00:30:01]
LANDSCAPE OF OVERGROWN LOTS, EXCESSIVE TRASH, AND DILAPIDATED STRUCTURES MUST BE ADDRESSED.AND THE HOME OWNERS HELD ACCOUNTABLE BEGINNING WITH THE CITY OF NEWBURGH.
WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE MENTION THAT WE DID DO SOME WALKING.
THERE ARE SEVERAL STORM DRAINS THAT ARE INOPERABLE.
YOU WILL NOT SEE THEM UNLESS YOU ARE WALKING DOWN SOME OF THESE STREETS.
AND THEY'RE BOTH ON THE WALL WALL BELLAMY, UM, IN OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AND ALSO DOWN IN THE FEMA, THE GREEN SPACE AREA, WHICH WON'T BE ADDRESSED UNTIL THE THIRD PHASE, THE THIRD PHASE WILL BE, UM, I'M SORRY.
THE SECOND PHASE IS WHEN WE WILL BRING OUT THE HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT AND WE WILL ADDRESS SOME OF THE MORE DIFFICULT, UM, AREAS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN, UH, BEEN ADDRESSED.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? UH, YOU HAVE ANY, ANY DATES ON THAT? ARE YOU, I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE AN APPROXIMATE TIMEFRAME WE'RE READY TO GO? WHENEVER THE DEPARTMENT HEADS CAN SEE THEIR WAY THROUGH, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT PROJECTS THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON.
WHEN WHAT WE WANTED TO DO MAINLY WAS GIVE THEM.
AND WE, AS I SAID, WE WANT TO DO THE HEAD, GIVE THEM THREE DIFFERENT PHASES.
THE FIRST PHASE NEEDED TO BE SOMETHING SIMPLE FOR THE CITY, BUT WOULD CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE AND GIVE THE OPTICS TO CHANGE.
SO YOU CAN SEE VISIBLY, HEY, THEY'RE OUT HERE WORKING.
WE CAN SEE A CHANGE IN THE LANDSCAPE, WHICH IS NOT GOING TO TAKE A LOT.
THE SECOND PHASE WILL BE THE MORE DIFFICULT ONE.
AND AS I SAID, THEY HAVE TO BE THE ONES TO CLEAR THEIR CALENDAR.
WHAT WE DID PROVIDE PLENTY OF ADDRESSES, PLENTY OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
AND WE'RE JUST WAITING AND I'M WILLING TO WORK WITH THE CITY AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS WITH US.
AND PUBLIC WORKS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD TOOL.
SO I HAVE FOUND, UM, IN THE LOCATIONS FOR THE DON'TS IS OPEN.
CAUSE LAST PLAN, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE PUT TO.
BUT THOSE TWO ARE NO UP ABROAD.
I MEAN, WE NEED TO FIND SOMETHING OR WE'RE IN THAT AREA.
AND WHAT I WAS THINKING WAS RIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO CONCENTRATE ON.
UH, AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM ON TWO LOCKS IF POSSIBLE, ONE ON THE EAST SIDE, THE ONE ON THE WEST SIDE.
BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO IDENTIFY WITH WHAT IS BEING DONE AND WHAT THE SCHEDULE IS AS IT RELATES TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
WELL, WE HAVE TO DO WHATEVER, WHATEVER WE NEED TO THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THIS, IT BEGS THE QUESTION THOUGH.
WHAT YOUR, YOUR PHASE TWO OF YOUR CLEANED UP, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THE AREA WHERE THE FEMA LIVES ARE, WHICH IS PART OF THE BIG DUFFY FIELD STORMWATER PROJECT.
AND WHAT, SIX MONTHS AGO, WE HAD THIS ROOM FULL OF DRAWINGS AND THE ENGINEERS AND EVERYTHING HERE DESCRIBING WHAT WOULD BE PHASE TWO OF THAT PROJECT, WHICH WOULD MAKE CLEAN THAT WHOLE AREA UP AND BEGIN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR OUTDOOR RECREATION AREA AND PASSIVE RECREATION AND THE SERIES OF STORM WATER, DETENTION PONDS.
WHAT IS, THEY MIGHT KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF THAT PHASE OF THE PROJECT IS AND WHERE IT'S HEADED.
ALDERMAN HARRIS, AREN'T THEY CONTINUING TO WHAT WE KEEP GET UPDATES AND THEY'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE ACTUALLY AT.
UM, THE MONIES AND THE GRANTS HAVE BEEN THERE.
I GUESS IT'S JUST LETTING THE CONTRACTS, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT AND JUST LETTING THE CONTRACTORS THEY'VE ALREADY WORKED ON SOME OF THAT.
UM, IT ACTUALLY LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN IT THAN IT DID.
YOU CAN TELL THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME, UH, SOME IMPROVEMENTS MADE IT'S A LOT CLEANER THAN IT WAS, IT IS A LOT SAFER THAN IT WAS.
AND YOU COULD TELL THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME PROGRESS MADE WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST ROSE AREA, WHERE THEY HAVE THE TWO PONDS NOW, BECAUSE WHAT THEY DID ACTUALLY, THEY DUG IT OUT A LITTLE MORE AND THEY LANDSCAPED.
AND WHEN I'M IN LANDSCAPE, THEY SHAVED IT.
I DON'T MEAN LANDSCAPING GREATLY.
THEY ACTUALLY GRADED IT, WHICH GAVE IT A BETTER LOOK AND A SAFER LOOK.
NOW THEY, THERE'S NO WAY THAT THEY'RE THROUGH WITH IT.
BUT I THINK, UH, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST PHASE HAS BEEN COMING COMPLETE.
UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SECOND PHASE IS.
UH, BUT I'M PLEASED WITH WHAT I'VE SEEN THUS FAR.
CAN I MAKE A RECOMMENDATION? I THINK I CAN ADD JUST A
[00:35:01]
LITTLE BIT TO THAT, BUT GEORGE CHILD'S JUST EMAILED ME A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THAT, UM, THEY ARE WORKING ON GETTING THE, UM, I GUESS, DIMENSIONS, WHATEVER FOR UPSIZING, THE PUMP THAT GOES THAT NEW PUMP.UM, SO THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE NEXT PIECE THAT THEY'RE DOING BECAUSE THERE'S CURRENTLY NO PUMP ON THE PREMISES.
UM, MS. WILSON MEET, YOU I'LL MAKE A NOTE FOR MATT THAT WE NEED TO GET IT UP.
IF WE COULD GET, IF WE COULD GET THIS CHILD TO COME IN AT OUR NEXT MEETING AND DO IT AND DO AN UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THAT FOLLOW UP ON THAT FRONT, YOU'RE GOING TO BE TRAVELED.
ARE WE GOING TO GET OUT? WELL, GEORGE WAS REALLY THE ONE IN CHARGE OF IT.
I MEAN, THAT'S KIND OF A COMBINATION.
ANY OTHER THINGS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU? I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
WE ALWAYS HAVE AN EFFORT TO, IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE RESIDENTS COME OUT AS, AS WELL.
UM, WE'LL GO TO AGENDA ITEM, UM, FOR, UH, GET PARANOID ON OUR HOUSING WORKING GROUP UP UPDATE.
UM, OH, WE'VE ALREADY MENTIONED THAT WE'VE MET YESTERDAY.
AND SO WE KEEP ON THE, YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THE TERROR OF INITIAL DELIBERATIONS, ABOUT PARCELS OF LAND THAT WERE REQUESTED FOR PURCHASE BY INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS.
A COUPLE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THE INITIAL REPORT FROM DR.
LEON CODWELL CALDWELL ON, UH, HIS VISIT BACK IN DECEMBER, UH, WHERE HE HAD A LITTLE BASICALLY CHARRETTE MEETING WITH RESIDENTS AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS, UH, TO TALK ABOUT HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE DR.
UM, THERE IS A SERIES OF DELIVERABLES BASED ON OUR CONTRACT THAT HE WAS TO PROVIDE.
AND WE HAVE THE FIRST, FIRST, UH, INSTALLATION INSTALLMENT OF THAT PRESENTATION.
WE HAVE, WE HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND WE ARE GOING TO, UM, CONTINUE TO REVIEW IT AND WAIT A LITTLE BIT UNTIL WE GET THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ON BOARD BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME WITH, WITH, UH, DR.
AND ALSO HOPE THAT IN THAT INTERIM, WE WILL GET SOME MORE INFORMATION FROM HIM.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE DID IS, UH, WE SAY WE MET SHELLY AND MY SELF SAT THROUGH A FOUR HOUR PRESENTATION FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF DESIGN.
UH, I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL MEETINGS AGO THAT THEIR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN STUDENTS, UH, HAD A STUDIO PROJECT FOR THIS ENTIRE SEMESTER.
AND IT WAS BASED ON, UH, DEVELOPING HOUSING OPTIONS FOR THE DUFFY FIELD, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DUFFY FIELD IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THEY PRESENTED THEIR INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS THAT THEY HAD DEVELOPED FOR THE HOUSING, UH, TO A GROUP OF, UH, REVIEWERS IN THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, UH, WHO OFTEN WOULD EVENTUALLY PROBABLY HELP THEM GIVE THEM THEIR GRADE.
AND THERE WERE PROBABLY ABOUT EIGHT DIFFERENT, UH, PRESENTATIONS MADE AND SOME VERY, VERY INTERESTING CONCEPTS FOR, FOR HOUSING AND SO FORTH.
AND PART OF WHAT THEY DID IS THAT THE STUDENTS SELECTED SPECIFIC SITES, UH, TO DEVELOP, UH, THEIR HOUSING PRODUCT FOR, AND IT WAS VERY INTERESTING TO SEE, UH, THE SELECTION OF THE SITES THAT SOME OF THEM USE.
UH, ONE, ONE STUDENT, UH, SELECTED K STREET DOWNWARD, OR THE LITTLE GARDEN AREA, WHICH, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T GET MUCH LOWER ELEVATION WISE THAN THAT, WHICH CAUSED THEM TO HAVE TO FILL UP THE GROUND WITH A SERIES OF TERRACES AND TERRORISTS WALLS AND SO FORTH, WHICH LOOKED VERY NICE, BUT TOTALLY TAKES OUT THE AFFORDABILITY CONCEPT UNTIL THE HOUSING PROJECT.
UM, SO, BUT WE ALSO HAD ONE OF THE STUDENTS, UH, SELECTED FIRST AVENUE
[00:40:01]
THAT THE PR THE AREA THAT WE, UH, ACTUALLY OWN AND WILL BE ONE OF OUR UPCOMING PROJECTS, UH, DEVELOPED AND HAD SOME INTERESTING INSIGHT INTO WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT.WE HAVE REQUESTED, UH, FROM THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO US THAT THEY WOULD SEND US ALL OF THE SLIDES OF THE PRESENTATIONS ON THE HOUSING PRODUCTS.
UH, SOME OF IT HAS SOME RELATIONSHIP TO THE CURRENT ARCHITECTURE IN THE, IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND SOME OF IT, UH, HAS BEEN TO LOOK AT, IT LOOKED LIKE A SORE THUMB STICKING UP BECAUSE THE ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS, UH, THINK DIFFERENTLY THAN WE DO.
AND, UH, SOME OF THEIR DESIGN CONCEPTS ARE VERY INTERESTING.
UH, BUT AGAIN, I WONDER HOW WELL THAT THE EXTERIOR DEVELOPMENT WILL FIT IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO, UH, IN THE FUTURE.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE SAW THAT CAME OUT IN THIS IS THAT WE, AS A REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, WE'LL BE DOING A LOT OF, HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A LOT OF INFILL TYPE OF BUILDING AND CREATING A OF, OF HOUSING.
AND A LOT OF THE DESIGNS THAT WE SAW DEFINITELY WOULD NOT WORK IN AN INFILL TYPE OF SITUATION THAT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR WHOLE BLOCK CLEARED OUT BLOCK OF LAND THAT WERE, THEY WOULD, COULD BE ADAPTED TO MAKE A NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL, THEN DIDN'T HAVE TO COMPLY WITH HOUSE ON EITHER SIDE OF IT.
WE WILL SEE IT AS A COMMISSION, UH, THE SLIDES AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THEM AND SEE WHAT THEY, THEY PRESENTED TO US, UH, CAUSE IT HAS SOME VERY INTERESTING STUFF AND SOME OF IT IS VERY APPLICABLE TO WHAT, WHAT WE NEED TO BE DOING.
UM, THE I'M GOING TO ASK, UH, BETH WALKER TO TALK ABOUT THE YOU BACK STREET HOUSE THAT YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR REPORT AND GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THAT.
UM, IN FACT, I HAVE A SET OF DRAWINGS AND ALL THE DRAWINGS ON THIS TO GIVE TO DH, BUT I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH HER.
SHE IS WORKING WITH, UM, SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO PUT TOGETHER A BID PACKAGE.
AND SO I HAVE THE FINAL SEALED DRAWINGS FOR THAT, FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE EUBANKS HOUSE.
SHE CAN WORK WITH THE PERSON PUTTING THE BID PACKAGE TOGETHER FOR THAT.
NOW THAT SORT OF TIMELINE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, GETTING THE BID PACKAGE TOGETHER, WHERE THAT MIGHT BE TABLED TO BE RELEASED.
I AM NOT SURE WHAT THAT AGREEMENT IS.
I WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN 30 DAYS TO DO THAT.
AND THEN, UH, THE BID TIMELINE WOULD BE 30 DAYS.
AND I DID HEAR, UM, MORGAN SAY THE PUDDINGS OF IMPORT, AND THIS IS ONLY FOR THE INTERIOR RENOVATION ON THE HOUSE AND NOT FOR ANY OF THE FOUNDATION.
THE PUDDING, THE FOOTERS ARE THERE.
THAT FOUNDATION FOUNDATIONS BLOCKING IS NOT THERE.
THE FOOTERS ARE THERE, THERE'S BEEN A TRENCH THAT HAS BEEN DONE.
AND THERE HAS BEEN SEMEN THAT HAS BEEN POURED IN FOR THE FOOTING, BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS DONE OTHER THAN THE HOUSE HAS BEEN TURNED, UH, I GUESS AT AN ANGLE TO WHERE IT WILL BE APPROPRIATE.
AND IT'S A MATTER OF TERMINOLOGY OF THAT, THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS IN THE BUILDING TRADE IS A FOOT.
THE FOUNDATION WALL FROM THE FOOTAGE TO THE, TO HOLD UP THE HOUSE IT'S NOT THERE.
AND THAT'S BEING INCLUDED IN THE BID PACKAGE FOR A GENERAL CONTRACTOR TO DO AT ALL.
AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT DESIGN IS SEPARATE FROM OUR PACKAGE BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE DESIGN FOR THE FOUNDATION WALLS IN OUR PACKAGE.
SO I BELIEVE THAT IS WHO DASIA.
AND I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE ENTITY THAT SHE'S WORKING WITH, BUT, UM, WE HAD SHARED EMAILS ON MY BED, YOU KNOW, SHE'D GET, UM, THAT THE ENTITY JUST NEEDED THE SEAL DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS.
I'VE GOT THOSE HERE WITH ME TO GIVE TO HER AND THEN GOT THEM ELECTRONICALLY FOR HER USE AS WELL.
CDBG CONSULTANTS, URBAN DESIGN ADVENTURE.
OUR QUESTIONS REGARDING IF YOU BASE HOW'S.
CAUSE I KNOW, UM, THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAD A, PAT'S BEEN TALKING WITH YOU AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, I, WE STILL CONSIDERING THIS USAGE AS
[00:45:01]
A TRANSITIONAL HOUSE.IT WILL BE RENTAL PROPERTY, BUT IT WILL BE TRANSITIONAL RENTAL PROPERTY.
UM, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IS WRING IT OUT AS WELL.
NONE OF THE LANDLORD BUSINESS, UM, NOT AS ACTIVELY, BUT THE PLAN IS AS APPROVED AND WE'VE GONE THROUGH, DOES CALL FOR THE COMMISSION TO OWN RENTAL PROPERTY, NOT ACTIVELY RENT, RENT IT PERSONALLY, BUT TO OWN THE PROPERTY.
BUT TO HAVE DISPLACED OR MISPLACED FAMILIES THAT ARE BEING DISPLACED, TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO A TRANSITIONAL HOUSE, NOT TO HAVE IT AS LITTLE RENTAL PROPERTY, BUT UNTIL WE CAN PLACE THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE WAS MY UNDERSTANDING.
AND IS THAT SOMETHING YOU TALKED TO MR. RUGERI ABOUT, I'M NOT SAYING IT'S A POSSIBILITY, BUT WE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE REAL.
WELL, ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES THAT CAME UP WHEN WE WERE PURCHASING PROPERTY THAT WAS ALREADY INSTILLED INHABITED BY LANDLORDS WERE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO PUT THEM.
SO WE'RE DISPLACING PEOPLE TO GIVE THEM BETTER HOUSING.
THIS IS THE TRANSITIONAL PLACE THAT'S NOT TREATING JUST NEW HOUSING REGARDLESS.
I'M LIKE, THAT'S NOT TRANSITIONAL HOUSING.
HEY, I'M AT NO REPLACEMENT HOUSING OR TEMPORARY HOUSES.
IT'S REALLY WHAT IT IS TO YOU ALL.
IT MAKES SENSE, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING.
MA'AM SO REPLACEMENT HOUSING IS THE PROPER TERMINOLOGY.
IT WAS ALL THE HOUSE OF PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.
WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU BECAUSE TRANSITIONAL THEY'RE TRANSITIONING FROM ONE SITUATION TO ANOTHER.
SO I'M WITH YOU WHEN YOU RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO, BUT IT'S OKAY.
DON'T MATTER WHAT IT IS MOST MOST IN OUR HOMES.
SO, UM, HAS IT HAD ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS APPROACHED YOU ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE HOUSE MADE ME, WE HAVEN'T CAUGHT ANY CHILDREN ALREADY KIDS PLAYING AROUND THAT RECENTLY.
I THINK THAT THEY'VE GOTTEN BORED WITH IT NOW AND SINCE THEY BOUGHT IT IN UP, BUT NOW THE THING IS WHAT IT IS IT'S USAGE IS GOING TO BE.
AND I I'LL GO BACK AND I'LL MAKE SURE THAT I GIVE THEM THE PROPER TERMINOLOGY ALSO BECAUSE I MISSED IT WAS GOING ON BILL AND LET HIM KNOW THAT WITH THAT PROFESSOR HAS GOT ALL THE DOCUMENTS READY AND IT'S GOING TO KOREA AND BID PACKAGE RIGHT NOW.
BUT THEY DID UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CONVEY TO THEM.
AND THEY WERE VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT GAVE THEM SOME HOPE THAT, HEY, SO THEY'RE TRYING TO ACTUALLY PREPARE TO GIVE SOMEBODY SOMETHING WHILE THEY'RE BUILDING UP SOMETHING ELSE.
SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DISPLACE, I'LL MAKE US.
SO THAT WAS SO GREAT, GREAT BODY IN THAT, THAT YOU HAD HAD THERE WITH THE PUBLIC.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, NOTHING NEGATIVE HAS COME UP.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROPERTY OR THE HOUSING WORK GROUP? THAT'S OUR REPORT.
UM, AT, UM, AT THIS TIME WE NEED TO TAKE A FIVE MINUTES BREAK.
SO IF WE, UM, TAKE THAT YOU GET UP AND SCRATCH OFF WHENEVER, BUT YOU CAN TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK AS WE WAIT FOR THE SPEAKER.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, UM,
SO THEY COULD PREPARE FOR THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS,
[7. Health/Wellness community presentation]
YOUR FORM AND UPDATE COMMISSIONER.AGAIN, FAKE PERMISSION TO WALLACE, A CONDITIONER FOR TAKING ON THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND HAVING CONVERSATIONS.
AND WE'RE REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATIVE
[00:50:01]
TO MOVE THROUGH WITH THAT COMMUNITY AND BEFORE THEIR CONVERSATIONS AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAD WITH THE COMMUNITY.AND SO COMMISSIONER WALLET IS GOING TO GIVE THAT REPORT.
I THINK WE HAVE THE INTERIM DIRECTOR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, MATT SHELLEY.
AND DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE ON THE SCREEN? THERE'S MAD.
AND I MEAN, THERE WAS SO LATE, EVEN IF MY PARTNER'S ON UP HERE, WE CAN RECONVENE IF WE NEED TO ELABORATE ON ANY OF THE TENANTS OF THAT.
SO WE CAN GO, WE COULD GO AHEAD.
IF YOU WILL BREAK THE
HE HEARD US IN THE CHAIR JUST TO BE HELPFUL WITH THE TECHNOLOGY.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE HEARD, THERE IS AN ICON.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK AND BE HEARD, PRESS THAT ICON, IT WILL TURN GREEN AND ALL YOUR FLASHERS AS IS THE CASE WITH ALL HUMAN THING.
BUT RIGHT NOW SHE'S, MAGICALLY APPEAR ON OUR SCREEN AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO HEAR YOU IF YOUR MICROPHONE IS BLINKING GREEN.
SO THE WHOLE TIME THEY WERE GOING TO READ.
I WONDER, NO WONDER WE BRING ONE.
AND AGAIN,
MADAM CHAIR, UH, GREETINGS TO ALL, AND ESPECIALLY THE ALDERMEN, THE CIVIL DEBATE AND THE REBUILD OF THE COMMISSION.
UM, THANK YOU FOR THE FIVE MINUTE BREAK TO GIVE ME ENOUGH TIME TO
SO HERE IS THE, UM, UH, NEW BAR, REDEVELOPMENT, COMMISSIONS, UH, HEALTH AND WELLNESS.
UH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PROPERTY AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO CALL IT THE EXACT HOUSE, BUT WE'LL CALL IT THE BLOOMFIELD PROPERTY, BUT FOR NAMESAKE.
UM, AND I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE PARKERS DURING THIS ENDEAVOR DOES NOT OFFICIAL FOR CRAVEN COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
LIVINGSTON FROM NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY WON THE BOOM FROM DURHAM TRI DUKE UNIVERSITY MERCY CLINIC, WHICH HAS BEEN UNSECURED.
WE'RE SETTING UP A MEETING WITH THEM AND RCS WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
UH, REGGIE JONES, WHO HAS A DEDICATED COMMUNITY LEADER THAT HAS BEEN WITH US THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE TIME, UH, YOURS TRULY.
AND THEN, UH, COMMISSIONER JULIAN TRIP, WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING FOR THE SITE AS IT IS.
AND I'M GOING TO GIVE A, AN ALTERNATIVE AT THE END OF THIS, UH, DOC DRIVE THAT I, UH, PUT IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.
UH, BUT THE RECOMMENDED SERVICES THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH OUR PARTNERS THAT SHOULD BE DONE REALLY AT NO COST TO THE CITY.
UM, THIS IS VIA THE PARTNERSHIP OF DUKE UNIVERSITY AND CENTRAL UNIVERSITY AND ALSO DR.
DEFICIENT AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS THAT WE CAN OFFER ALCOHOL, PROSTATE, DIABETES, CHOLESTEROL, AND CANCER SCREENINGS.
WE CAN HAVE BLOOD DRAWS AT THE SITE AND THEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED, UH, VIA COURIER TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT LAB FOR ANALYSIS, UM, TRAUMA INTERVENTION, SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAMS, ADDICTION INTERVENTION.
AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT SHUTTLE WOULD BE BENEFICIAL JUST IN CASE.
WE HAVE CERTAIN CASES AT THE SITE THAT NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, PREVENTATIVE SERVICES THAT WE PLAN TO OFFER.
AND AGAIN, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED AND THIS IS, I KEEP SAYING IT AND I NEED TO SAVE IT TO THE MIC.
CULTURAL INTERVENTIONS, STRESS, TRAUMA, TRAUMA, INFORMED SERVICES, HEALTH PROMOTION, AND AWARENESS.
AND Y'ALL, THAT ENCOMPASSES A LOT.
I WOULD HAVE HAD SIX PAGES THAT I PUT THIS, THAT EACH ONE THAT THEY COME TO THAT COMPASS IS NUMBER FOUR, UH, RESOURCE ADVOCACY, OR THE LECTURE SERIES THAT HAS BEEN SPOKEN ABOUT BEFORE THE SECOND VIGNETTES.
I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO PERUSE THEM.
I MUST SAY THAT THEY ARE AWESOME.
THEY ALLOW OUR COMMUNITY TO MAYBE TO IDENTIFY WITH THE PERSON WITHIN THE VIGNETTE.
ALL RIGHT, TO SEE THAT IT'S NOT JUST ME HAVING THIS CONCERN OR THIS PROBLEM, WHICH, WHICH USUALLY RESULTS IN GOING TO SEEK TREATMENT AND ALSO COMMUNITY FORUMS ABOUT BY PROFESSIONALS FROM DUKE, FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES.
THAT IS A RESOURCE THAT I WOULD SECURE WITH MY CONNECTIONS IN RALEIGH AND THE MERCY CLINIC PERSONNEL.
UM, AND, AND, AND THE MERCY CLINIC PERSONNEL THAT WE PLAN TO HAVE AT THE SITE.
IT WILL BE A CERTIFIED NURSE, AND THAT IS HEARD THEIR RURAL COMMUNITY GRANT THAT, UM, NORTH CAROLINA, CENTRAL ALREADY HAS, HAS OBTAINED.
AND THEY JUST NEED PLACES SO THEY CAN DEPLOY THE GRANT, WHICH IS GREAT FOR US.
WELL, COME ON IN, IF YOU DON'T DO IT WITH THE MONEY, UM, SEVERAL STUDENT NURSES, THESE TWO STUDENT NURSES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE 2000 HOURS OF PRACTICUM AND IT'S SEVERAL OF THEM.
[00:55:01]
A ROTATING BASIS FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THEY WOULD EITHER BEST STAY DOWN HERE OR THEIR COMMUTE GOES, FLATTENED, GO STAY DOWN HERE AND DO THEIR WEEK OR TWO.AND THEN IT WON'T TELL YOU THAT, UM, HEALTH DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL, UH, AT MERCY CLINIC PERSONNEL, ONCE WE SECURE THAT PARTNERSHIP, THE NEXT STEPS WE NEED TO TAKE AFTER THIS MEETING IS TO GET IT DOCUMENTED.
AND I'LL BE WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT ATTORNEY, UM, TO GET THAT PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT DRAWN UP SO WE CAN GET SIGNATURES ON THE PAPER SO WE CAN START MOVING FORWARD.
UM, BUT THE DEPARTMENT'S APPRENTICESHIP OF RIBBON BETWEEN YOU OR REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, NORTH CAROLINA, STATE UNIVERSITY, DUKE UNIVERSITY, CRAIG, THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND DURHAM TRUCK.
UM, WE NEED TO MEET WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER MORGAN AND, AND, UH, MR. JONES IN REGARDS TO THE PROMISSORY NOTE FOR RICHARD COD FOR THE LAND ADJACENT TO THE PROPOSED HEALTH CLINIC.
WE NEED TO GET THAT SOMETHING ON PAPER SO WE CAN BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD AND CONDUCT A MEETING WITH THE MERCY CLINIC AND RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY SERVICES TO SECURE THAT ADDITIONAL PARTNERSHIP.
ALSO, WE NEED TO CONDUCT A MEETING WITH THE NEW BURN BOARD OF ALDERMAN OR A SUBCOMMITTEE OF, OF THAT CONSORTIUM TO FINALIZE THE DECISION TO RENOVATE THE CURRENT SITE OR TO INVEST IN BUILDING A NEW SITE.
WE DON'T HAVE MY SPEAKERS GOING AFTER ME.
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SAY WHAT THAT IDEA IS.
I'VE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH.
UM, AND ALSO I CONSULTED WITH, WITH MY GOOD FRIEND AND EXPERT SAGE AND IN BUILDING AFFAIRS.
AND WE, IT'S HARDER TO RENOVATE A RESIDENTIAL HOUSE OKAY.
THAN IT IS TO KNOCK IT DOWN AND START OVER AND BUILD IT LIKE A WAREHOUSE FORMAT.
I WAS SO ENTHUSED AND SO INTRIGUED WHEN ULTIMATE BAGEL AND ALL THE BEST LAST WEEK WAS LIKE, WHAT HAVE YOU CONSENTED KNOCKING IT DOWN AND STARTING TO NEW, WE CAN DO SO MUCH MORE WITH IT.
MY UNDERSTANDING WHAT $350,000 B, WE MAY BE ABLE TO VERY WELL GET DIRTY 3000 SQUARE FEET.
AND WITH THAT, WHEN THE NEW SITE THAT BRINGS IN NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, EXACTLY WHAT Y'ALL WERE SAYING THREE 30.
UM, SO WITH THAT, UH, EITHER WHEN WE BROUGHT THAT UP, WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO CENTRAL AND DUDE, THEY WERE LIKE, OH NO, WE'RE SORRY.
THAT CHANGES THE THING THAT WE CAN DO OTHER THINGS IF WE HAD A SITE, BECAUSE THAT IS A TRUE INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND THEN WE CAN CUSTOM, YOU KNOW, DO NOT ONLY HOW WE ARE, WE PLANNING.
UM, ANOTHER IDEA CAME UP AND THIS WILL BE TOTALLY FOR OUR MEETING, WITH THE AUTOMATED.
WE CAN, IT WANTS TO BE SECURE.
THE PARCEL WAS THAT OPENS UP A WHOLE LOT MORE LAND ON THAT SIDE.
EITHER WE CAN USE IT AS PARKING OR WE CAN KEEP THE, THE HOUSE WHERE IT IS RENOVATED FOR RESIDENTIAL.
AND THEN AGAIN, PARTNER WITH THE HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE.
AND THEN WE GOT SIGNED, WELL, POINT OF ORDER COMMISSIONER, THE HOUSE IS NOT OWNED BY THE CITY OF HEBREW AND THE HOUSE IS NOW OWNED BY THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
SO IT IS THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION THAT WILL MAKE THAT DECISION, NOT THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN.
THE DECISION THAT WE HAVE MADE IS TO GIVE YOU $250,000 TOWARDS THAT PROJECT.
IS THAT CORRECT? SO, SO THAT'S THE THING, BUT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW IS GOING TO BE THE DECISION OF THIS GROUP, BECAUSE IT IS YOUR PROPERTY.
I MEAN, THAT, THAT IS THE THOUGHT PROCESS, CERTAINLY.
UH, BUT I THINK HE NEEDS TO COME BACK TO THAT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WOULD THEY NEED TO MAKE IT WORK.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WOULD REQUEST THEN NOT NECESSARILY EXTRA ONCE YOU, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
UM, WELL, I DON'T, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU'LL, YOU'LL COME AND MAKE THE WHOLE PRESENTATION, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE'RE VERY PLEASED.
I MEAN, YOU HAVE REPRESENTATION ON THE SCORED BY ALDERMAN HARRISON, MYSELF, AND ALDERMAN BEST.
AND THAT WAS THE IDEA AND MAKING US EX OFFICIOS SO THAT WE COULD BE HERE, BUT WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU.
I'M REAL TO BEYOND MEANS TO SEAL THIS.
SO THAT MEANS I CAN GO BACK AND WITHIN THAT HUNDRED HUNDRED DOLLARS, WE CAN ASK, LET'S GO, WE GOT THE ART MONEY, JACK, Y'ALL COME TO TOO.
IF I GOT TO GO IN FRONT OF YOUR
BUT AGAIN, THE RURAL COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVE, DR.
LIVINGSTON WILL GO IN DEPTH LIKE HE DID WITH US AT OUR MEETING.
I'M ABOUT THE TENANTS OF IT, OF NORTH CAROLINA, CENTRAL UNIVERSITY, AND TO DUKE PARTNERSHIP, WE NEED TO GET A COPY OF THAT.
UH, THE GRANT WRITING ASSISTANT DOT DR.
SO ONCE WE DO WANT TO GROW, UH, WE STILL, WE HAVE THAT ASSISTANCE.
HE ALREADY HAS THAT SECURE SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES ABOUT ONE IS TO GO IN THERE TO MAKE SURE THE BALTIMORE ALDERMAN UNDERSTOOD, UM, THE INVESTMENT
[01:00:01]
THAT THEY WERE MAKING IN THIS INITIATIVE.UM, COUNSELING SERVICES AND INTERVENTIONS FROM WALT, UH, ONE, THE BOOM, UH, SHE'S GOING TO PRESENT ON THE NEXT TIME.
AND THEN AGAIN, SECURING THAT ADDITIONAL LAYER.
YOU GOT TO GET THAT DEEP AND OVER.
I UNDERSTAND YOU SAID THAT IT WAS A NEW CONSTRUCTION THING WOULD BE BETTER SERVICES BECAUSE THERE WAS MORE FUNDING OR MORE SPACE, BUT THE FUNDING WOULD FOLLOW ALONG AND PROVIDE BETTER SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY AND A NEW FACILITY.
YES, MA'AM, IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT WHEN THE CITY HAS PUT AN INVESTMENT LIKE THAT, LIKE A TO PARTNERSHIP WITH AN INVESTMENT OF $350,000, IT SEEMS THAT OTHER CONSORTIUM WAS KIND OF ONE UNTIL WE HAD, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S A GOOD COMMUNITY SERVING, UM, SERVING THE FIVE POINTS AREA.
AND THEN IN RALEIGH, THIS SPEAK THING ABOUT RURAL COMMUNITY UPLIFTMENT AND REBUILD, AND THEY JUMP FOR STUFF LIKE THAT.
YOU DON'T WANT HER CONSIDERABLE, OH LORD JESUS.
AND THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE I CAN LOOK AT THESE NINE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE THESE NINE CATEGORIES, AND I'LL KNOW SOMEONE IN THAT COMMUNITY THAT ARE MY NEIGHBORS THAT WOULD DEFINITELY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ANY WARRANTY.
AND I COULD FEEL SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, IN EVERY CATEGORY, JUST RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW, THE REASON WHY I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT IS BECAUSE NOT SINCE 1979, HAS THERE EITHER BEEN SOMETHING PHYSICAL, EITHER PUBLIC OR PRIVATELY AS IT RELATES TO HEALTH CARE THAT HAS BEEN HOUSED IN WHAT WE NOW CALL THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA EVER SINCE DR.
THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY PHYSICIAN THAT HAS BEEN, UH, PHYSICALLY HOUSED IN THAT AREA.
AND NOW WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING BACK AND IT MAY NOT BE A PHYSICIAN.
IT MAY BE A CNA CREATING RN OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, BUT THERE WILL BE SOMEONE THERE TO GIVE THE ATTENTION.
THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU ADD TO THIS LIST.
ONE IS PRENATAL AND POSTPARTUM, AND IF THEY CAN'T TREAT IT THERE, THEN I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD SCHEDULING BECAUSE A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS DO USE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE ABLE TO CALL AND GET IT UP, GET AN APPOINTMENT ON THE PHONE.
YOU ALMOST HAVE TO GO OUT PHYSICALLY AND RATHER THAN GOING OUT PHYSICALLY, WHY NOT WALK UP THE STREET OR EITHER DRIVE UP THE STREET TO THIS LOCATION, TO WHERE THEY CAN HAVE THE SCHEDULING AND HABIT TO ROLL OVER TO WHERE YOU CAN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
IF YOU CAN'T BE SEEN AFTER A RESIDENCE HERE AT THE HOUSING THERE, IF YOU CAN'T BE SEEN AT THE SITE, THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE SITE TO GO OUT TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
AND THAT WOULD HELP TREMENDOUSLY, BUT ALSO DEFINITELY BECAUSE WE'VE NOTICED IN OUR WORK AREA, PRENATAL AND POSTPARTUM IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED PROPERLY.
I JUST WANTED TO CALL OUT TO APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DID, BUT I THINK ONE THING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IS THE FACT THAT THESE STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO GET THIS THESE HOURS IN.
I MEAN, THAT'S THE PARTNERSHIP, THAT'S AMAZING BECAUSE WE NEED MORE NURSES AND WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT BY UTILIZING THIS FACILITY.
SO AGAIN, ME PERSONALLY, SHOUT OUT TO THE WHOLE SUBCOMMITTEE, REGGIE, YOU GUYS, THIS IS AMAZING.
I KNOW THIS IS THE INFORMATION THAT, THAT THE THING WE'RE LOOKING FOR AND YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU HAVE ME PRESENT SUPPORT, WHATEVER I GOTTA DO TO GET IT, UM, TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT AND THIS IS SOME GOOD WORK.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK FOR THIS MADAM CHAIR AND MR. WALLACE, JUST A COUPLE OF THOSE GEARS ON PAYMENT TO THE HANDOUT.
NEXT STEPS, ITEM NUMBER TWO, TO EFFECTUATE A TRANSFER COMMISSARY NOTE.
SO THAT'S A DISCUSSION THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE OFFLINE TO FACILITATE THAT THE CAR IS WILLING.
AND ALSO THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, BUT JUST A PRACTICAL PART THAT YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER IS IF YOU MAKE THE DECISION TONIGHT OR IN A SUBSEQUENT MEETING THAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE, WHAT NOW
[01:05:01]
EIGHT BLOOMFIELD STREET LOOKS LIKE, AND THAT THAT HOUSE MAY NOT BE THERE.AND THE WAY THAT DONE THAT TYPE OF CHANGE MIGHT BE JARRING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT INFORMED ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO YOU MAY CONSIDER AS YOU'RE GOING DOWN THIS PATHWAY AND FIRMING UP THESE PARTNERSHIPS AND MAKING BE SMOOTH, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER, UM, SOME TYPE OF ADVERTISING IS NOT A GOOD WORD FOR WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, BUT SOME TYPE OF PUBLIC DISCOURSE SO THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING BY AND DRIVING BY AND WHO HAVE VERY STRONG, UM, YOU KNOW, EMOTIONS, THANK YOU MR. MR. REGGIE EMOTIONS OR SOME TYPE OF CONNECTION TO THAT SITE, UM, CAN BE INFORMED ON THE FRONT END SO THAT THERE'S NOT A SHOCK OR TRAUMA FROM AN EMOTIONAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE BACKEND.
CERTAINLY NOT STATUTORILY, BUT THAT MAY BE A FRIEND WHO SAID, CAN THE WHOLE BUILDING BE MOVED TO ANOTHER LOCATION? UH, THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE A FURTHER DISCUSSION BECAUSE ALSO AGAIN, IF I GAVE IT THE CITY TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS, I SHOULD NOT SEE TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS EITHER.
WE COULD KEEP THAT RENOVATED AND THEN RENT IT OUT.
AND THAT WOULD HELP HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT AS ANOTHER SITE READY TO GO.
WE FINALLY GET SOME PEOPLE IN HOUSE, SO IT'S STILL LIVING ARRANGEMENTS, OR WE CAN AIR IT OUT, OPEN IT UP AND IT THOUGHT THAT, SO THAT'S ANOTHER DISCUSSION.
SO THOSE ARE THE TWO OPTIONS AT THE RIGHT HERE FOR US TO CONSIDER, BESIDES THE TWO LAWS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO MR. CARTER HAD, HAS THERE BEEN DISCUSSION OR ARE YOU, YOU KNOW, THE CONCERN OF THE MAYOR? AND I HAD CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTHER LOT THAT WE DON'T OWN, THAT'S IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE THERE, UM, DOING SOMETHING AND TRYING TO, TO SPEAK TO THE, THE OWNER OF THAT, TO SECURE THAT AS WELL.
I ALSO ATTACHED, UM, COMMUNICATIONS WITH THAT PERSON.
AND, UM, THEY HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT DOING THE SAME THING THAT I TALKED TO MR. CARTER ABOUT.
SO WE'LL SEE HOW IT GO DOWN THE LINE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT, LIKE I SAID, I'LL DO IT TONIGHT.
UM, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
UM, UM, SO FOR THE NEXT AGENDA FOR THE NEXT AGENDA, UM, I WOULD SEE MR. SHELBY OVER HERE, HE SAID, WE NEED TO, UM, HAVE THE PRESENTATION BY THOSE PARTNERS THAT HE MENTIONED.
IT'LL BE THROUGH ZOOM SO FAR TO BE ON THE AGENDA PUBLICLY AND EVERYDAY TO HAVE, RIGHT.
THE STATUTE SAYS THAT IN ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THIS COMMISSION IS, IS PARTICIPATING REMOTELY IN THEIR SPECIAL NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.
IF ALL THE COMMISSIONERS ARE PRESENT, PHYSICALLY NOTICE ISN'T REQUIRED STATUTORILY.
HOWEVER, UM, IF YOU WANT PEOP UH, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIT IN THIS SPACE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE PRESENTATION AS IT'S HAPPENING LIVE, YOU CERTAINLY CAN GET TO 75.
SPEAKING OF THAT MEETING, UM, MADAM CHAIR, IT SAYS NEXT MEETING JUNE 9TH, BUT I THINK IT'S INCORRECT TO BE UNDER PAPERWORK ON THE AGENDA.
SO THE NEXT ISSUE EIGHT, RIGHT.
SO SINCE THIS IS MOVING ALONG VERY NICELY, PAPER-WISE, UH, WOULD IT BE ALSO AT THE NEXT MEETING ON THE AGENDA FOR THE HOUSING WORK GROUP TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMMISSION ABOUT THE USE OF 9 0 8 AS FAR AS OKAY.
AND DO THAT BEFORE REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE TWO DIFFERENT POSSIBLE, WHEN SHE WAS SAYING WAS SO, BUT LET ME BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT I WAS SAYING.
IT'S JUST LIKE, UM, WHEN WE MOVED ALL THE HOUSES INTO THE AREA, I WENT AND ON FOOT AND WENT TO EVERY PERSON AND SAID, WE'RE MOVING THREE HOUSES INTO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH.
NEXT MONTH JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
AND WE CAN HELP YOU LET US KNOW.
AND THAT WAY THEY'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT SHOCKED.
SO THAT'S A WAY WE CAN DO THAT ON THE WEBSITE AND PUT A SIGN OUT THERE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU, WHAT
[01:10:01]
YOU SAY.UM, AND I WAS GOING TO FIGURE THAT OUT, GET THE MIX RIGHT THROUGH.
WE'LL BE REPORTING OUT WHAT WE COME UP WITH AT THE PROPERTY.
WELL, AND IT'S THIS MATTER OF WHETHER IT WAS A DECISION ON THE, WE CAN MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AND COME UP WITH OUR IDEAS OF HOW THEY WORK, WHAT TO DO WITH THAT HOUSING, BUT I MEAN, WHAT WOULD BE A FINAL DECISION FROM THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, THE NEXT MEETING? IS THAT CORRECT? OH, RIGHT.
IF YOU ALL WANT TO HAVE AN INTERVENING SPECIAL NEEDS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE PART OF IT.
I MEAN, THE HOUSING WORK GROUP HAS BEEN IN THAT HOUSE AND I WOULD ASK HER IF IT'S GETTING FEES.
I MEAN, JUST ROUGHLY OFF THE TOP OF
AND I THINK IT IS FEASIBLE TO LEAN THAT IT, MAYBE WE HAVE A DUPLEX OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT, NOT JUST ONE HOUSE, BUT DO EVEN A DUPLEX WITH A STUDIO ATTACHMENT THE WAY THE, UM, THE LAYOUT IS, WHAT DID WE GET THE, UM, DUE TO COMMENTS FROM, FROM THE FOLKS THERE AND, UM, THEN THE NEXT STEP, SO WE CAN GO AHEAD AND YOU, WHAT IT IS WE NEED TO DO ON HERE.
OKAY, MICHELLE, UM, JUST WONDERING, I DIDN'T SEE COVID, UM, DISTRIBUTION, UM, ON THE LIST OF THINGS THAT YOU'RE OFFERING, LIKE MEDICAL SERVICES AND THERE ARE A LOT OF, UH, GRANTS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW FOR, UM, COVID SUPPORT.
AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
SO PROMPTLY IT'S, LIKE I SAID, THERE'D PROBABLY BE 17 PAGES.
UM, I'M ALSO WONDERING, LIKE, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR REFERRALS? SO WHEN SOMETHING IS FOUND IN, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THESE PATIENTS THAT COMES TO THE CENTER, UM, AND THERE'S AN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A MEDICAL ISSUE THEN W WHERE ARE THEY BEING REFERRED? IT WOULD KNOW THAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS PICKING UP THE SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES AND THEY SPECIFICALLY SAID REFERRAL-BASED SERVICES.
SO ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED, WE'LL GO THROUGH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
AND IF IT'S A HOSPITAL TYPE OF REFERRAL, FATE, THEY'RE ALL KNOWLEDGEABLE.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN, YOU CAN WORK OUT AS FAR AS IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, CORRECT.
YOU STILL HAVE, UM, THE REASON WHY I SAID THAT ABOUT THE HOUSES, THE STUDENTS GOING TO HAVE SOMEWHAT SOMEWHERE TO LIVE, OTHERWISE THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE HOTEL AND THEN IT'S GOING TO BE AN EXPENSE ON THE CITY.
SO WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THE HOUSE, PUT IT ON ONE OF THE PIECES OF LAND AND USE IT IN THAT WAY.
WE'LL TAKE THAT UNDER CONSIDERATION THOUGH, BECAUSE AGAIN, ONCE WE GET THE THUMBS UP FROM, THEN WE REALLY START PUTTING IN, YOU KNOW, THE FLOW OF SERVICES WE ADD TO OR TAKE FROM, OKAY.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU HERE.
SO YOUR NEXT MEETING, OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING THE SUPPORT TEAM.
WHEN HE CALLED ME, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENED WAS, IS THIS BOARD MEETS THE SECOND WEDNESDAY, AND THE PROBLEM IS THE SECOND TUESDAY, BECAUSE IT'S THE WAY THE URSA OR THE MONTH FALL.
SO WILL YOU ONLY MEET ONE SYNDROME? YES.
WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PUT HIM AND WHOEVER THE REST OF IT IS ON THE AGENDA FOR THE 14TH.
SO IN THE PRESENT GENDER, JUST, YOU KNOW, YOUR CURRENT BOARD WITH BARBARA AND SABRINA IS THE PHARMACY.
WE ALSO LET YOU, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND GET IT ON THE BOARD SAYS, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE THREE OF US WILL BE ON THE BOARD.
WE DIDN'T MEAN TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO US UNLESS WE CAN ASK FOR THE MONEY AT OUR
AND I DON'T KNOW, WE COULD ASK FOR THE MONEY AND PUT SOME KIND OF INFORMATION TOGETHER.
I MEAN, BUT THAT'S WHEN I WOULD ASK FOR IT.
AND THAT MADE ME LONG FOR THAT NEED TO
[01:15:01]
GO.AND THE THING IS, I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
I WONDER IF, UM, IF, UM, OFFICER COULD JUST DO A CALL AROUND.
LET'S SEE IF HE COULD DO A CALL AROUND TO GET A BOARD MEMBER, SINCE WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED THE MONEY WE'VE DISCUSSED IT.
AND WE ASKED FOR THE TWO 50 TO BE INCREASED TO THREE 15 TO SEE IF BIPOLE, IF THE BOARD WOULD THINK OR WOULD THAT NEED, UM, UH, AN OFFICIAL VOTE.
WELL, AS I RECALL, I THINK THE BOARD MADE AN OFFICIAL DECISION ABOUT THE ALLOCATION, AS I RECALL, WHICH IS DANGEROUS.
I THINK THE ONLY THING Y'ALL VOTED AND APPROVED WAS THE STORM WATER PROJECT.
SO TWO THINGS, THE STORM WATER AND THE $250,000, BUT THE REST WE HAVE IT, BUT WE HAVEN'T VOTED ON THE BUDGET.
WE PUT, WE VOTED TO PUT IT IN THE BUDGET.
SO I THINK HE STILL SAYS WE HAVEN'T RULED ON THE BUDGET.
I THINK THAT WE CAN, WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY MANAGER.
BECAUSE I THINK THOSE ALP MONIES ARE REALLY SEPARATE FROM THE BUDGET.
THE ARP, THE ARP MONEY IS SEPARATE.
IT REALLY ISN'T PART OF THE BUDGET.
AND THEN AS SOON IF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD INVOLVED OFTEN WOULD LIKE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, YOU ALL ARE HERE AND CAN SPEAK TO YOUR COMPANIES, OR IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS OF MR. WALLACE, ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS ABOUT, I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW.
SO WE HAVE, YEAH, WE COULD WITH THOSE ON THE 14TH THOUGH, WE WANT A POWER POINT.
UM, MR. JONES, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD? YOU CAN, YOU CAN SAY, WE'LL HAVE TO GET UP, UM, WITH THE, UH, PARTNERSHIP THERE.
THIS WAS, UH, THIS ZEB HUB FROM RCS.
I DO HAVE THEM THAT I'VE BEEN 10TH, HAS BEEN THROUGH HIS BOARD AND HIS SIGNATURE AND ALL THEY ALL ON BOARD.
I HAVE THAT LETTER OF INTENT ALL.
SO IT'S JUST THEIR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TODAY.
DO THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ON HIS ZONE WITH US.
LIM AND CENTERING GROUP, THEY'VE ALL MET WITH, UH, THE COMMISSIONER, UH, TRIP AND COMMISSIONER WALLACE AND DR.
FISHER AND I, WE WERE DOWN IN THE PARK WHEN SATURDAY, ALL DAY LONG.
AND, UH, SO THEY'VE COMMITTED TO EVERYTHING ALONG WITH DUKE UNIVERSITY AND OTHER PARTNERS.
SO ALL OUR PARTNERS ARE PRETTY MUCH ALL IN ON EVERYTHING.
I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS THANK YOU FROM THE TIME THAT I CAME TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS COMMITTEE, ALL YOU GUYS THAT HAVE, UH, EMPIRE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT HAVE BACKED ME, ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, UH, PARTNERS THAT ARE WORKING ON AMAZING, YOU KNOW, LODGE TO ALL THE PERSONS, EACH ONE OF YOU, ALL THE COMMISSIONERS.
AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING WITH US, THIS IS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY.
SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS TO SEE IT MOVE ALONG.
NOW, I'M GOING TO GO GET MY HELP, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TO BAR JAY.
THANKS FOR YOU GUYS TAKING A FILM OF EVERYTHING AND, UH, EVERYBODY JUST KEEP WORKING TOGETHER AND MAKING IT GO.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS AGAIN.
I'M GOING TO BRING IT BACK WAS MOSTLY EASIER.
ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE THE HARRIS COUNTY NOT TO HOLD ANYTHING UP? THE ONLY THING WAS BACK TO THE BLUE FIELD SITE, DEPENDING ON THE DECISION.
I KNOW THAT WE DID ASK TO SEE IF WE COULD GET THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDED.
WERE WE STILL WORKING ON THAT IN REGARDS TO THE
[01:20:01]
NUMBERS, THE COST ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIRS? RIGHT.I REMEMBER WE, UM, THE COMMITTEE HAD ASKED IF HE COULD BREAK IT DOWN TO KNOCK THE TAJ MAHAL, BUT BARE MINIMUM TO GET IN.
WE WERE STILL LOOKING TO SEE THAT INFORMATION.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WERE STILL PREPARING IT FOR YOU HAVE NO, I BELIEVE THAT THE END RESULT OF THAT WAS LEAVE THE ESTIMATE WHERE IT WAS, UM, BECAUSE IT WOULD INCLUDE TOTALLY PREPARING, UM, YOU KNOW, INCLUDING COMPLACENT AND WINDOWS.
AND I BELIEVE I RECEIVED THE DIRECTIONS TO LEAVE.
