SECOND COMMENTS, ALL IN FAVOR APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES, SAY AYE.
[4. Recognition of Alderman Bengel and Alderwoman Harris]
NUMBER FOUR.WE WERE DISCUSSING A LITTLE WHILE AGO THAT THE FIRST MEETING OF THIS, UH, ORGANIZATION WAS IN AUGUST, 2018.
AND MANY OF US COULD REMEMBER THE PHONE CALLS WE GOT FROM VARIOUS CITY OFFICIALS TO
AND THEN I REMEMBER IT WELL BECAUSE I WAS IN, UH, THE AIRPORT IN MINNEAPOLIS, UH, GETTING READY TO GO TO, UH, UH, CEDAR RAPIDS TO BEGIN A TOUR OF THE WEST.
AND THEY WERE CALLING THE BOARDING PLANE AND SHE CALLED AND TRIED TO TALK ME INTO A LONG TERM COMMITMENT.
I TALKED HER DOWN TO TWO YEARS AND THAT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO.
[00:05:01]
HERE, BUT WE DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE ALDERMAN FROM THE THREE WARS THAT COMPRISE THE REBUILT PERMISSION FOR THEIR TIME, THEIR EFFORT AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE ENDEAVORS AND THE GOALS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION TO IMPROVE THE LIFE QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE STRUCTURE AND THE COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF THE DUCTING FIELD AREA AND THE LARGER AT-LARGE, UM, REDEVELOPMENT AREA.UM, BENGAL TWO, WE'VE ALLUDED TO, UH, ALDERMAN HARRIS AND ALDERMAN BEST, UH, HAVE BEEN GREAT SUPPORTERS OF THE COMMISSION OVER THESE YEARS.
UH, THEY ATTEND OUR MEETINGS AND GIVE US THEIR SUPPORT, AND WE WERE VERY, VERY MUCH APPRECIATIVE TO THEM FOR THEIR EFFORTS AND THEIR TIME AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO THIS COMMISSION AND TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AREA.
SO THIS WAS PROBABLY MY MOST IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT IN ALL MY YEARS.
I'M GETTING THIS REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
WHEN I CAME INTO OFFICE IN 2017, I WAS BOUND AND DETERMINED THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN NEWBURGH NOW FOR 40, ALMOST 45 YEARS.
AND ALL I'VE HEARD ABOUT WAS CHANGED WAS COMING TO THIS AREA AND I SAW NOTHING AND IT WAS MOSTLY TALK AND NOT WALK.
AND I DECIDED THAT THE ONLY WAY WE WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING WAS TO GO AHEAD AND FORMALIZE IT.
AND I WANT TO THANK MAYOR OUTLAW FOR HIS CONFIDENCE IN ME, IN PUTTING TOGETHER THE ORIGINAL SLATE OF APPOINTEES AND, UM, FOR THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE, IT'S NOT BEEN EASY.
WE'VE HIT SOME ROADBLOCKS, BUT, UM, I THINK THERE'S LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
AND I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK OF EVERYBODY THAT SITS ON THIS COMMISSION BECAUSE IT DOES TAKE A VILLAGE AND IT TAKES EVERYBODY.
AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE LOOKED AT FOR IT, WE LOOKED AT FOR PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT A CERTAIN EXPERTISE TO THE TABLE, AND I THINK YOU ALL BRING A CERTAIN LEVEL OF EXPERTISE, INCLUDING OUR ATTORNEY NOW, MRS. MOSLEY, WHO, UH, GRADUATED FROM HER SEAT TO BEING IN CHARGE.
IT'S GREAT, BUT WE'VE ALREADY SEALED THE BENEFITS OF, OF SOME OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.
THE PROPERTIES ARE GOING INTO HANDS OF PEOPLE.
AND I SEE THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THEIR PROPERTY OVER THERE.
AND AS I ARRIVED TO DUFFY FIELD, I'M STARTING TO SEE SOME OF THE CLEANUP EFFORTS AND THINGS.
WE'RE NOT THERE YET, BUT WE CERTAINLY ARE IN A DIRECTION.
AND I'M THANKFUL TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT WHILE I WILL NO LONGER BE HERE IN PERSON, I WILL BE HERE IN SPIRIT.
AND I'M ONLY A PHONE CALL AWAY.
I'M MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MISSION OF THIS GROUP BECOMES A REALITY AND NOT JUST MORE TALK.
SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND BE PART OF THIS.
YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH SENSE.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING THAT, UH, UM, I HAVE NO IDEA BY THE, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY ABOUT ATTENDANCE, THE THREE EYES, AND THAT IS INSPIRED IMPACT AND INVEST.
WE USE THE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN WHEN I'M SAYING IT, BUT I CAN CORRELATE THAT WITH SABRINA, BECAUSE AGAIN, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT HER SORT OF BABIES GOT US ALL CORRAL.
WHEN IT COMES TO INVESTMENT, SHE WAS SERIOUS.
SHE WAS EXTREMELY SERIOUS WITH THE INVESTMENT IN TRYING TO OBAMA BECAME WE'VE HAD PLANS ALL THE WAY UP.
NO ACTION, BUT HERE WE'RE MAKING IT HAPPEN.
AS FAR AS IN FACT, THE GROUP THAT SHE HAS ASSEMBLED HERE PAST THEIR BREAK IS THE UPBEAT AT THE PINNACLE EXPERTISE IN VARIOUS AREAS, WE HAVE A DIVERSE KNOWLEDGE BASE RIGHT HERE, AND WE WORK EIGHT O'CLOCK THIS MORNING FOR A LOT OF US.
UM, WE WERE, I MEAN, WHEN I WAS TALKING ON THE PHONE, UM, BUT LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THERE WAS, UH, A PRESIDENT, JOHN F. KENNEDY.
HE STOOD IN FRONT OF THE WORLD, 1961.
AND HE SAID, WE WERE GOING TO PUT A MAN ON THE MOON, OKAY.
AND IF YOU WATCH THE CAMERA FOOTAGE AND WATCH THE PEOPLE BEHIND HIM, WHEN HE SAID THAT THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE ALMOST ABOUT TO PAIN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY PROWESS AT THAT TIME TO GET THERE.
BUT DID WE NOT MAKE IT TO THE MOON BY 19 7, 19 69, AS YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING, THAT'S WHAT SHE DID WITH IT.
SHE SET THE GOAL AHEAD OF TIME AND IT WAS UP TO US TO REVERSE ENGINEER TO GET THERE AND WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.
SO I JUST WANT TO SAY RIGHT TO SABRINA, WE KNOW HARLAN.
I MEAN, I CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH.
YOU'VE BEEN RIGHT HERE WITH US.
YOU'VE BEEN OUR BIGGEST ADVOCATE.
AND YOU GET IN THE TRENCHES WITH US WHEN WE DO MEET CHAT.
SO WE'D LIKE VERY BITTERSWEET.
[00:10:11]
ANY OTHER THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS ABOUT SARAH? NO PROBLEM.AND AGAIN, WITH DEEP GRATITUDE BECAUSE BRINA AND ALL WOMEN WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US IN TOTAL, UM, ITEM
[5. Consider Adopting a Resolution to initiate the upset bid process for 827 Cedar Street]
NUMBER FIVE ON THE AGENDA IS CONSIDERATION OF, UH, BEING RESOLUTION TO INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS FOR 8 27 CEDAR STREET.YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE ABOUT A PIECE OF PROPERTY.
IF YOU RECALL WHAT OUR LAST MEETING WE WERE, WE'RE FOLLOWING OUR PROTOCOLS AND THE BID HAS NOW BEEN SUBMITTED, UH, TO PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY.
AND IF YOU REMEMBER, IT'S A LITTLE TINY PIECE OF PROPERTY, ABOUT 18 FEET, 40 FEET, MITRICE MR. RICHARDSON DESIRES TO ACQUIRE.
SO ADOPTING THIS RESOLUTION INITIATE, SEE UPSET DIDN'T PROCESS.
SO THE LAW DOESN'T ALLOW IT TO SELL PROPERTY DIRECTLY.
SO MR. RICHARDSON HAS INITIATED THE FIRST SEVERAL STEPS, NOT PROCEDURE.
HE'S MADE A, UM, A MINIMUM BID ACCORDING TO THE POLICY.
AND IF YOU WANT TO, IF YOU JUST, IF YOU DETERMINED THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY USE FOR THIS PARCEL AND THAT HIS INTENDED USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, THEN YOU MIGHT CONSIDER ADOPTING THIS RESOLUTION, WHICH WILL INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS.
AN AD WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER.
ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED IN WANTING 10 DAYS TO UPSET THAT BID, IF THEY DON'T OR IF THEY DO THE FINAL, HIGHEST WILL BE PORTED BACK TO YOU ALL.
AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE THE OPTION AT THAT POINT TO CONVEY THE PROPERTY INTO THE FINAL.
THIS PROPERTY IS OWNED BY THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, OUR PROPERTY, THEREFORE QUESTION THAT WILL STILL GO BACK TO THE EVOLVEMENT FOR APPROVAL AFTER IT'S IN THE HOSPITAL.
THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE WITH THIS IS THAT WE TALKED TO THE LAST, THE LAST MEETING ABOUT, UH, SINCE OF THIS REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION PROPERTY, ATTACHING SOME DEED RESTRICTIONS TO THE PROPERTY.
AND IF YOU RECALL, MR. RICHARDSON WANTED FOR AN ADDITIONAL PARKING AREA.
UH, AND OUR DISCUSSION WAS ABOUT LIMITING, UH, THE ABILITY TO STORE JUNK CARS, STRIPPED DOWN CARS ON OPERABLE CARS.
WHAT IF WE HAD A YEAR LONG PROCESS TO IMPROVE THAT SITUATION IN THE COMMUNITY? SO WE DON'T WANT TO LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN, IF WE CAN AVOID IT.
SO THE OPTION IS FOR US TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION WITH RESTRICTIONS.
IF YOU RECALL, WE GAVE THE RESTRICTIONS FOR MR. RICHARDSON AT THE LAST MEETING.
SO HE'S AWARE OF THEM, MAYBE NOT AS MR. BEN, JASON NOW.
IT MAKES SURE THAT HE'S AWARE OF IT, YOU KNOW, IF HE HAS ANY ISSUES OR OPPORTUNITIES.
DID YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE? YES.
UM, WHERE THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH EIGHT FOOT WIDE AND IT'S SQUARED UP WITH THE PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT HAD I HAVE IN FRONT OF IT.
AND AT A BRILLIANT TIME, I MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY TOO.
WE EVER SINCE I WAS TO SO A FOUR UNIT FOR A PARKING SPACE, THAT WOULD BE AN OPTION, BUT I JUST WANTED TO EXTEND THE PROPERTY THAT I DO HAVE BECAUSE WHEN THE HOUSE WOULD, THERE IS NOT A REALLY WASN'T, EVERYTHING WAS BUILT ON THE LINE, SO IT WASN'T NO ROOM TO GET AROUND IT.
[00:15:01]
TO GET AROUND THE BUILDING ACCESS.AND I DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING OR JUNK IN CARS.
SO I JUST WANT IT FOR PERSONAL USE.
IT'LL DEFINITELY INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOUSE.
NOW THAT I SEE THE PICTURE, I GOT THAT HOUSE TORN DOWN, THAT WAS A MESS OVER, THERE WAS, IT WAS A MESS AND IT JUST CAUSED SO MANY PROBLEMS, BUT IT'S GOING TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF THIS HOUSE BECAUSE NOW IT'S GOT A YARD AND IT'S SO MUCH, IT'S A BIT, MUCH BETTER LOOKING THAN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO I THINK THAT'S A GREAT, GREAT THING TO BELIEVE THAT HOUSE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THAT MUCH WORSE.
WE NEED A MOTION TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.
AND MS. MR. CHAIR, I CAN ADD THE RESOLUTION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO IMPOSE ANY COVENANTS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT MR. RICHARDSON HAS INDICATED AS HIS INTENT, THEN YOU WOULD NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN PRESCRIPTIVE CODE.
AND I THINK THE RESOLUTION WITH RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS, I THINK THE COVENANTS THAT MR VICE-CHAIR IS REFERENCING ARE, UM, NO JUNK CARS, NO INOPERABLE VEHICLES, NOTHING THAT WILL ATTRACT A NUISANCE, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
AND I, I SEE MR. RICHARDSON SHAKING HIS HEAD.
ARE YOU IN AGREEMENT WITH THOSE TYPES OF CONDITIONS, GERALD ENTERTAIN, A MOTION? DO WE HAVE TO SAY ON THAT? WHAT SHE DOES IS MAKE A MOTION SAID, AND THEN LIKE THIS, THAT YOU WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS FOR 8 27 CEDAR STREET, SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT SET FORTH BY THE HOUSE IN, HE MADE THE MOTION.
YOU SAID WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION PERMISSION, IF NOT ALL THE TABLE OR THE MOTION SIGNIFY BY SAYING, AYE, AYE.
[Items 6 & 7]
AM SIX ON THE AGENDA IS CONSIDER ADOPTING A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING INITIATION OF THE UPSET, THE PROCESS ON NINE BRIAN STREET, OR CONSIDER ADOPTING A RESOLUTION TO REQUEST AND PAYMENTS FOR THE REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2 0 9 BRIGHTON STREET, REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, UH, MME. MOSLEY.WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE US A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RESOLUTION, AS YOU KNOW, UM, AS YOU'VE SEEN IN YOUR PACKET, THE PROPERTY HERE THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING NOW TOO ON BRYAN STREET IS CURRENTLY OWNED JOINTLY BY THE CITY AND CRAVEN COUNTY, BECAUSE THAT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION BOUNDARY.
IT IS YOUR PURVIEW TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE GOVERNING BOARD ABOUT WHETHER, UM, THE INTENDED USE BINDING TO THE PURCHASER IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN.
AND IF ANY RESTRICTED COVENANTS ARE NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THAT PLAN, UM, BEFORE YOU WERE TWO RESOLUTIONS TONIGHT, ONE IS TO RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD OF ULTIMATE INITIATE THE UPSET BIG PROCESS.
AFTER YOU HEAR, UM, CENTRAL TONIGHT, YOU CAN SAY, THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.
THIS IS A PRODUCTIVE USE OF THE LAND.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY JUICE FOR IT.
WE THINK THAT THIS PERSON HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY.
IT CAN COMMUNICATE THAT INTENT TO BOARD OF ALDERMAN BY ADOPTING THAT RESOLUTION.
ALTERNATIVELY, YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO ASK THE GOVERNING BOARD TO CONVEY THE PROPERTY TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION SO THAT YOU CAN ATTACH RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
AS YOU KNOW, THE GOVERNING BOARD CANNOT CONVEY REAL PROPERTY WITH CONDITIONS.
IF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS CONDITIONS, ET CETERA, ARE TO BE APPLIED TO ANY PROPERTY IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA THAT HAS TO HAPPEN THROUGH YOU ALL.
SO I THINK THE INTENDED PURCHASER IS MR.
UM, HE PRODUCED A POWERPOINT WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET AND MR. DAVIS WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT ABOUT WHAT HIS INTENDED USES MIGHT BE.
UM, AND AT THAT TIME YOU CAN DEBATE AND DELIBERATE ABOUT WHICH OF THE TWO RESOLUTIONS,
[00:20:01]
UM, MIGHT BE PREFERABLE.MR. DAVIS, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
UH, MY NAME'S CHARLES DIGGS AND MY FATHER, UH, SHE'S A NATIVE NEW YORK STATE.
I'M A NATIVE NORTH CAROLINIAN.
YOU LOOK BACK ON MY EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE AND NEW BERN, I PLEASE, BUT BACK IN THE 1980S AS A RAIN, I WASN'T STATIONED OVER HERE AND HAVE LOCKED OUT JUNE.
I HAD SOME CLASSMATES JOIN THE MARINE CORPS AND THEY WERE STATIONED THERE.
SO I BECAME FAMILIAR WITH BURN BACK IN THAT COMMUNITY.
UM, OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER ON THIS, OH MOMENT HERE STARTED ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO.
WHENEVER WE WERE DOWN IN WILMINGTON, WE HAVE A PROPERTY.
AND WHEN I LEFT ONE WITHIN 20 YEARS AGO, 12 AND 10 WAS A NICE QUIET TIME.
AND THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE THERE IS ALL THE CAROLINA BEACH ROAD.
WHEN YEARS AGO, YOU CAN MAKE A LEFT TURN, MAKE A U-TURN ON THE TRAILER.
THIS GIRL, NASA IS JUST TOO TIGHT.
I WORKED OUT WAY DOWN THE COAST TO MYRTLE BEACH FOR COMMUNITY THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO RETIRE TO.
UM, AND AS FAR AS 2 0 9, BRIAN STREET GOES BECAUSE A LOT IS IN THE PRESENTATION.
THERE'S A LOT AS APPROXIMATELY 50, BY 100, A LITTLE, A LITTLE LESS THAN FIVE BYPASSES, A PROFIT, A SPACE THERE AS WELL AS ZONE AS AN SIX, WHICH I THINK BY YOUR BUILDING CODES, IT ALLOWS FOR CONSTRUCTION METAL, CONSTRUCTION STRUCTURE, RESIDENTS STRUCTURES, 1500 SQUARE FEET.
UH, MY PLANS ARE TO DO IS TO CONSTRUCT A DWELLING THERE FOR MYSELF.
CARLA, AS I READ AS A PRIMARY RESIDENT, GOING OVER TIME IN THE PRESENTATION, THERE WAS A COUPLE OF PLAYERS THAT I PUT IN THE PRESENTATION.
IF YOU ASK A REVIEW OF A LOT, THAT'S A SUMMARY.
ONE OF THE PROCTORS ARE ON BRYAN STREET.
UM, IF YOU GO AHEAD AND ASK NOT ONE THERE TO NINE INVEST RIGHT BESIDE IT.
A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD DROPPED IT DOWN HERE TALKING ABOUT EQUAL TO 11.
THAT'S THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOT.
UH, IT, UH, IT DID STAND IN THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT, AND THAT'S JUST AN AVERAGE THAT THAT SPRING, THERE IS AN AVERAGE OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE PROPERTIES IN THAT PARTICULAR BLOCK TO A BLOCK OF BRYANT BRYANT STREET.
YOU SEE THAT EVERY STORE IS 12.7 MILLION SQUARE FEET, AND THERE'S A 10TH OF AN ACRE EACH SLOT AVERAGE OUT TO ABOUT 10.
AND
UH, THIS IS ONE, UH, JUST CAME FROM A STOCK PLAN OR TWO HOME PLANS OR SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
ONE OF THE PLANS I'VE LOOKED AT.
IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS ONE HERE, I REALLY LIKED THIS PLAN AS FAR AS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR.
THIS IS BRIAN IS ABOUT 1400 SQUARE FEET, 1353 BEDROOM, TWO BATH.
AND WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS ONE TOO, IS, UH, ALL THE SIDE ENTRY, THERE WAS A HALLWAY THAT SEPARATES THE LIVING FROM THE KITCHEN, THEIR DINING AREA, AND IN THE BACK IS THE BEDROOM AND A BATH BATH AREA.
AND WHILE I'M BRINGING THIS UP AND UPSTAIRS, THERE'S TWO, THIS TWO OLD BATH, HOW MANY, TWO BEDROOMS, A BATHROOM.
AND THE REASON WHY I BRING THIS UP TOO, IS THAT I AM AN INVESTOR.
I HAVE A FEW RENTAL PROPERTIES, BUT IN THIS ONE I WAS THINKING MAYBE, UH, $8.
SO IT WOULD BE USED AS AN AIRBNB, UH, FOR THE BRAND PEOPLE TO VISIT DOWNTOWN DIRTY BRIAN STREET.
IT IS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE.
WE WALKED THERE WITH TOWNS OR DOWN IN PROPERTIES.
SO, UM, THAT WOULD BE OUR PLATFORM TO MAKE AN HOUR OR COMMONPLACE AS I PROBABLY
AND AS I COULD PLACE WHERE I COULD DO THAT SAME DWELLING ALSO, I COULD USE THAT SHORT TERM RENTAL.
[00:25:01]
HIS DESIRE WILL BE WITHIN THE RESTRICTIONS OF PUBLIC.IS THERE ANY QUESTION I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO THAT TOOL, THAT BRIAN STREET, UM, WHILE YOU WERE UP THERE AND THEN YOU WERE ALSO CONSIDERING 8 21, 8 21 WEST STREET.
ALL IN COVERAGE ON THE WESTERN THAT'S ON THE FRONT OF THE PACKET, 8 21 WEST STREET IS A LOT, THAT'S THE SAME 10TH OF AN ACRE AS ALL OUR EIGHT R EIGHT UNDER THE LOCAL COLOR MONITOR STATUS.
THAT IS, UM, UH, 4 MILLION SQUARE FEET.
BUT IF YOU LOOK IN THE PACKET AND IT'S, THAT'S THEIR VIEW OF THE LOT, 8 41 WEST STREET, THAT PAPER IS SAID DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM 8 41 WEST STREET, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THERE, THE 7 78.
THIS IS THE OPPOSITE CORNER, UH, 8 0 3 WEST, THE WEST SWEETNESS, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.
AND THIS PROPERTY IS BETWEEN 80 LEVEL WEST STREET.
AND I SEE A SQUARE FOR THESE VARIOUS 11, UH, 1100, FOUR SQUARE FEET.
AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION.
AS YOU SEE ALL THE, ALL THE HOUSES ON WEST STREET, NEW WATER, FLOOD, UH, PRESENTATION, UH, PROPERTY START BUSES, PROPERTY EIGHT, NINE PROFITS, BUT THAT'S THE TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION ON WEST STREET WOULD GO TO THE NEXT MONTH.
I TOOK THIS FROM YOUR RECORDS, SHOWS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF EACH OF THE RAWLINGS THERE ON WEST STREET.
I KNOW HE DOES ALL FOUR R EIGHT CONSTRUCTION, SINGLE FAMILY, UH, WITH A MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE OF 2000 SQUARE FOOT.
BUT AS AN INVESTOR, I'D WANT TO PUT SOMETHING IN THERE.
THAT'S MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT'S WHAT'S THE AVERAGE OF THE WEST STREET USE OF THIS PROPERTY, UM, WOULD BE INVESTMENT PHARMACISTS.
AND WE'LL BE EXPANDING ON THE VOUCHER CHOICE PROGRAM, UH, PROPERTIES THAT I OWN, I GET A, PROBABLY A PREFERENCE TO ABOUT OF CHOICE.
AND THAT'S A PERSONAL PRACTICE BECAUSE HE MUST SET UP.
I SPENT TIME IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE AND I LOVE TO GIVE PEOPLE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE DECENT BALANCE.
SO THAT'S WHY I ASKED FOR THAT, TAKE A LOT, PUT AN INVESTMENT FUCKER THERE AND WENT OUT ON ABOUT UNDER THE VOUCHER CHOICE PROGRAMS, SOCIAL SERVICE HOUSING.
SO THAT'S WHY IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS IS ANOTHER STOCK PLAN THAT I GOT FROM FAMILY PLANNING RIGHT THERE.
I HAVE A FAMILY THERE, TWO KIDS AND A MOTHER BEEN THERE FOR THREE YEARS NOW, THREE, FOUR YEARS.
AND SHE, UH, UH, PLENTY OF SPACES, A THREE BEDROOM EAT-IN KITCHEN, RASTA BED, BEDROOM, SEPARATE FROM, UH, KIDS ROOMS, THREE BEDROOM, TWO BATH.
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WOULD BE EMPHASIZED IN MY OPINION, BECAUSE OF THE COST OF BEING HELD AT ELECTRIC, SOMETHING ECONOMICAL, COLLECT THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE.
I KNOW THAT MORE SQUARE FEET BEFORE VOLVO AS AN INVESTOR, IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE.
UH, THE COST OF THE BLOCK THAT IS AT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE WELL AND AROUND THE PLACE AND FROM THE FAMILY, IT GIVES THEM A CLEAN HABITABLE SPACE, BUT MOST OF THE YARD SPACE THAT CAUSE THIS, THIS IS ONLY A 20 FOOT SQUARE, 20 FOOT WIDE PROPERTY WITH THE LAFAYETTE 50 FEET WIDE.
AND IT GIVES YOU ELBOW ROOM CODES, YOU SET BACKS.
UM, CAUSE I KNOW HERE WE HAVE, UH, THE MISSION MISSION SETBACK.
I THINK IT'S FIVE FEET ON THE SIDES HERE.
YOU HAVE PLENTY OF SPACE FOR SHOWING THE BLACK, UM, AND THE COST OF MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY ON THE FAMILY SIDE WILL BE MINIMAL WITH SQUARE FOOTAGE.
SO THAT'S WHY, THAT'S WHY I'VE ASKED BY 8 28, 21 WESTERN AS AN INVESTMENT COMMISSION MEMBERS QUESTIONS FROM GIGS.
I JUST KIND OF KICKED THINGS OFF YOU GUYS WITH HAVING A VERY SOPHISTICATED APPROACH TO YOUR PLANNING.
DO YOU ACTUALLY DO THE WORK ON THE PROPERTIES YOURSELF OR DO YOU CARE LEAN INVESTMENT? IT DEPENDS ON HOW THE TYPE OF ELECTRICAL HPAC
[00:30:01]
PLUMBING.I HIRE A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL FOR THOSE THINGS.
UM, I DO A LOT OF THE COSMETIC STUFF I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED WITH THAT.
I DO HAVE SOME LIKE BUMPING STAIRS REALLY DON'T LIKE THEM INTO ELECTRICAL.
LIKE I USE IT FOR THAT, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, UM, I'M TRYING TO, AS MUCH AS I CAN, THE MAIN THING, DO YOU HAVE A CONTRACTOR WHO DOES THE FRAMING AND THE, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT POINT YET.
I HAVE NOT CONTACTED ANY LOCAL, UH, JOEL CONTRACTS AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTOR, BUT AS FAR AS THE, YOU KNOW, LIKE IF FORMER PROPHETS HAVE A PILLAR, THAT'S ROTTED OUT, I CAN GO DOWN AND TAKE CARE OF PAYING.
WHAT'S YOUR ESTIMATED TIMELINE.
IF THINGS GO FORWARD, HOW WOULD YOU THINK YOU'D BE READY TO BUILD ON IDLE OR BOTH OF THE PROPERTIES? 18 MONTHS? THAT'S MY RETIREMENT FORWARDS.
I'D LIKE TO ASK STAFF WITH NEW CONSTRUCTION.
DO THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH CURRENT REQUIREMENTS IN THERE? OBVIOUSLY THE HOUSES THAT HE REFERENCED THERE FOR BILL BEFORE? SO WHAT, WHAT IS THE STATUS THERE IN MEETING MINIMUM MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS? SURE.
UH, ANY NEW CONSTRUCTION, UH, CURRENT BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS AND THERE'S ONLY ONE ZONING REQUIREMENT THOUGH, WHICH IS THE WAY THE SQUARE FOOTAGE WAS GROWING.
WE DON'T HAVE TO PATROL OUT OF THAT.
OH, THAT'S WHY IT'S OUR R EIGHT VERSUS OUR SENTENCE.
IF IT GET PAST THAT POINT, YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE A MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE OF HOUSING IN THE DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIES.
I DON'T RECALL SAYING THAT ANYWHERE IN THE LAST AUDIO, ALL CORRECT.
THE MINIMUM, THE MINIMUM, THE MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT THE BREAKFAST THING IS PUTTING OFF SIZE.
I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO DICTATE THE SIZE OF HOUSES.
SO EVEN THE ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS, WE'VE DONE THOSE LOTS THAT ARE EXISTING THERE DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS, BUT THERE ARE PLANTED LAWS.
SO THEREFORE THEY'RE, THEY'RE REAL AND VIABLE.
I JUST HAVE ONE COMMENT RELATIVE TO THAT.
I THINK I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IF THE LOTS WERE CONVEYED TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION WHERE YOU COULD PUT SOME RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS, SUCH AS TIMELINE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT A LOT DOESN'T SIT THERE FOR 10 YEARS OR FIVE YEARS OR WHATEVER, AND THEN SOMETHING IS BUILT ON IT, YOU KNOW, AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO IF THE CITY SOLD WELL.
AND I, IN WATCHING YOU GUYS LAST NIGHT, YOU ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THAT ON RAMS AVENUE ABOUT DIVERSION, CLAUSES AND SO FORTH.
SO THE CITY IS COMING ALIVE, BUT THERE'S SOME THINGS WE CAN DO AND WE CAN'T DO, UH, THE INTERESTING THING TO ME WAS MR. DIGS, THE TIMELINE, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION FROM STEVE, THAT WE CAN WORK WITH HIS TIMELINE AND STILL PROCEED TO HAVE THE LENS THAT THOSE LOTS TURNED OVER TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND THEN COMMIT TO SEVEN DIGS, THE UPSET BID PROCESS, WHICH WE HAVE TO DO.
BUT WHEN WE DO THE UPSET BID PROCESS, WE'LL ALSO HAVE RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS IN PLACE FOR ANYBODY THAT PARTICIPATES IN THAT PROCESS, BUT IT CERTAINLY WOULD NOT INTERRUPT HIS TIMEFRAME, UH, FOR HIS, UH, ACTIVITIES, UH, JEN, ANY, ANY GUESSES, IF WE WERE TO GO THAT ROUTE OF QUESTIONING THAT THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE CONVEYED TO THE REBUILT CONDITION, UH, HOW LONG THAT MIGHT TAKE WELL, UM, THAT REQUESTS WOULD HAVE TO GO BEFORE TWO BOARDS.
SO WE GO TO FIRST TO THE NEWER BOARD BALDMAN AND THEN TO CRAVEN COUNTY, UM, THEIR MEETING SCHEDULES, ALTERNATE.
SO IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN FASTER WITHIN PROBABLY 45 DAYS.
WELL, THAT'S AN AMPLE TIME IF WE CAN GET THE COOPERATION OF THE COUNTY, RIGHT.
[00:35:02]
UH, WHAT JACK SAID LAST TIME WAS THAT THEY DON'T MIND CONVEYING THEM AS LONG AS THEY KNOW IT'S FOR A PURPOSE AND THEY'RE GOING TO RENDER TAX DOLLARS BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO THE, LOT'S GOING TO BE SOLD.PLUS THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD A HOUSE ON IT, WHICH WILL GENERATE TAX REVENUE.
SO AS LONG AS WE'RE MEETING THAT CRITERIA, I BELIEVE THEY WERE COUNTING WOULD BE OKAY.
SO ONE QUICK FOLLOW UP WITH HER.
THE PATH IS GOING TO BE MENTORING DOWN HERE.
WOULD THE TIMELINE THAT WE WOULD NEED TO ATTACH WITH, COULD THAT BE FROM A CERTAIN POINT IN TIME, WHITE MALE OR WITH ME JUST TO BE FAIR, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE FROM THE POINT OF CONVEYANCE.
SO COULD WE SAY TWO YEARS, PROJECT NEEDS TO BE ROLLING COMPLETED WITHIN THREE YEARS FROM THE DATE OF CONVENIENCE, THE CLOCK CAN START AT THE FOUNDER BASE, WHATEVER THAT TIMEFRAME MAY BE.
SO IT MAY BE TIME WHERE YOU STARTED, UM, NOT NECESSARILY COMPLETED OR YOU CAN SAY COMPLETION DATE.
UM, OTHER RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS THAT WE SEE WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING TYPE PROJECTS ARE THERE CAN BE A DEED RESTRICTION THAT THE PROPERTY SHALL BE.
SO READ IT TO LOW MODERATE INCOME PEOPLE FOR A PARTICULAR PERIOD OF TIME.
SO THOSE ARE ALL CONDITIONS THAT YOU CAN BRAINSTORM MR. DIGGS PRESENTATION.
AND THEN YOU GET, IF THE COUNTY AND THE CITY ARE INCLINED TO CONVEY THE PROPERTIES TO YOU ALL CAN APPLY THEM TO BEDTIME.
SO COULD WE APPLY LIKE IDENTITY OR FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE OR USE, UH, PARTICIPATION IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM? IF YOU PUT THOSE TWO TOGETHER OR, OKAY.
YOU'RE DEALING WITH TWO PROPERTIES THAT MIGHT HAVE TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF CONDITIONS.
SO WITH THE MOTION IS THE MOTION REALLY NOW NOT TO START AN UPSET BID PROCESS.
THE MOTION IS JUST TO DIRECT, UH, STAFF TO BRING IT BEFORE THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO CONVEY TO THE REDEVELOPMENT.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU GOT TWO OPTIONS.
OPTION ONE, OPTION TWO IS ASKING THE NEWBORN BOARD OF ALDERMAN, FABIAN COUNTY TO CONSIDER CONVEYING THE PROPERTIES TO YOU SO THAT YOU CAN APPLY THE APPROPRIATE RESTRICTIVE, BUT NOT TO START ABOUT EXECUTIVE.
I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
AND THOSE RESOLUTIONS ARE GREAT IN YOUR PACKET.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM MR. DIGGS? THEY'RE LIKE THE PRESENTATION THAT WE'VE HAD TONIGHT, BE IN LINE WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONS GOALS.
AND SO I FEEL LIKE THAT IS A REASON FOR US TO REQUEST THE CONVEYANCE OF THIS PROPERTY TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE RESTRICTIONS THAT WE PLACED WITH BEING IN CONFLICT WITH HIS PLAN.
THERE WOULD BE AN IN LINE WITH, OKAY, THANK YOU, MR. BIG, THE ONE THAT COMES TO OUR COMMUNITY, WE APPRECIATE YOU FIND A NEW BIRD AND WANTING TO COME BY.
I APPRECIATE HER PRESENTATION LIKE THIS PRETTY NICE, REALLY WELL DONE.
ANY FURTHER CONVERSATIONS AMONGST THE BOARD, IF NOT CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I BELIEVE THAT ALMOST MADE ONE.
UM, WE ADOPT THE RESOLUTION TO REQUEST ADVANCE OF THIS REAL PROPERTY LOCATED TO A NON BRYAN STREET AND THE OTHER 1-820-ONE-WEST STREET TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONS FROM THE CITY AND THE COUNTY.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS, DISCUSSION, IF NOT ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE
UH, WE'RE VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS.
YOU KIND OF WORKING OUR WAY THROUGH THINGS SYSTEMATICALLY.
SO DON'T, DON'T MAKE YOU MEAN TO TAKE THE DELAY IN THE PROCESS AND THING YOU DEALT WITH WITH, WITH, WITH GOVERNMENT ENOUGH, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW ASPECT FOR US AS FAR AS TRYING TO PULL THINGS OUT OF THE COUNTY AND THE CITY TOGETHER AND WORK WITH THAT.
SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE
[00:40:01]
ON THAT VERY MUCH IN UNDERSTANDING, AS YOU CAN TELL, AS LONG AS I'M BREATHING, THE ONLY MAKE NEW BIRD, OKAY.[8. Working Group Reports]
WILL HAVE A REPORT FROM OUR WORKING GROUPS NOW AND I'LL LEAD OFF WITH THE HOUSING WORK GROUP.AND THAT WILL FOLLOW WITH THE WELLNESS GROUP WILL REPORT WITH US AND THE HAPPY WORK GROUPS, UH, MET SERGIO GREAT, GREAT MEETING, GREAT DISCUSSION.
UH, WE DISCUSSED THE WELLNESS CENTER ISSUES SUCH AS PARKING OR ZONING, UH, AND THE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH DEMARI AND HIS TEAM ABOUT, UH, MOVING FORWARD WITH ACTUAL DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING IN PLACE.
AND, UH, I'LL LET HIM CARRY ON WITH THAT.
UH, WE DISCUSSED THE EUBANKS STREET HOUSE AND THE ISSUES THERE, AND THAT YOU WANT TO BRING US UP TO DATE.
WELL, AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE ARE LOOKING TO FIND A MASON TO DO THE FOUNDATION MORE FOR THAT HOUSE.
AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT SINCE THE CITY WE'VE LOOKED FOR THREE OPTIONS, THAT WE CAN SELECT ONE AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND MOVE FORWARD.
UM, I DO HAVE AN UPDATE FROM TODAY.
WE HAVE OUR STAFF LOOKING AT, UM, UH, PURCHASING AND VARIOUS MASONS THAT ARE, THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF AND THAT THEY, UM, NO HAVE BEEN VETTED BY THE CITY.
UH, AND SO THEY'RE EXPECTING TO GET INFORMATION BACK FROM THEM BY NEXT WEEK.
UM, BUT THERE IS A CAVEAT THAT, UH, WE SHOULDN'T BE THINKING THAT THERE'LL BE THEN PUTTING BRICKS ON THE GROUND THE NEXT DAY.
UM, THAT'S GOING TO BE SOME TIME FOR THEM TO WANT TO GET IT IN THEIR SCHEDULES, WHOEVER THEY ARE THAT WILL OF COURSE AFFECT WHO WE DECIDE TO USE.
UM, BUT ALSO THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES THEM TO ORDER AND DELIVER MATERIALS.
AND THIS IS UNDERLINED BY THE FACT THAT WE ARE BEING CHARGED FOR RENTAL EQUIPMENT UNTIL THE FOUNDATION CAN BE BUILT ONTO THE HOUSE.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO EXPEDITE THAT.
UM, AND THIS IS ONLY INCLUDES THE FOUNDATION WORK, SO THE HOUSE CAN BE SET DOWN.
IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE REHABILITATION WORK, WHICH IS STILL, THERE'S A BIT OF FUNDING FOR THAT, UM, NEXT WEEK.
AND WE HAVE HAD TO BID TO PRE-BID MEETINGS, PUBLICIZED AND HELL NOBODY SHOWED UP FOR.
SO THAT CREATES ANOTHER INTERESTING LEVEL OF HELLO, THE SECOND PRE-BID MEETING, BUT THE SECOND ONE WAS ONLY OPTIONAL.
WE HAVE ADVERTISED FOR CONTRACTORS AND WE HAVE SENT INVITATIONS TO CONTRACTORS SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS WORK, Y FOR A JOB OF DOING THE BLOCK WORK, WHY WOULD WE HAVE TO GET THREE BIDS? DON'T THINK WE DID.
WE TRIED CONTACTING THREE, CONTACTING NUMEROUS MASON, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THREE DIFFERENT BIDS.
YOU'RE TRYING TO GET, WHO COULD BE HERE THE FASTEST AND GET THE WORK DONE IN OUR, UH, PUBLIC WORKS.
DID THEY HAVE A COST SOLUTION TO GETTING THE EQUIPMENT FROM UNDER THE HOUSE NOW, BUT I WAS JUST PRAYING AUGUST STEEL RAILS OR WHATEVER THERE, THE CHARGES LIKE $500 A WEEK.
AND, UH, I GUESS SITTING ON THEIR STUFF A LITTLE WHILE, SO REASONABLE, BUT I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THEM.
UM, MAYBE TRY TO ASSIST WITH SOMETHING THERE IS THEY NEED TO CONTACT ONE OF THE CITY.
AND THE COUNCIL HAD MENTIONED THAT, UH, THEY WOULD NEED TO ADD TO THEIR CLEAR OUT AND CLEAN OUT UNDERNEATH THE, UH, UNDERNEATH THE HOUSE BEFORE THEY STARTED.
SO WE'VE DISCUSSED THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD MAYBE HAVE PUBLIC WORK INTO THAT.
UM, ANY OF THE CONTRACTORS THAT MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THEM.
[00:45:01]
OKAY.UNDERNEATH THAT CLEANING UP UNDERNEATH.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU BANKED HOUSE? THE STATUS OF IT? OKAY.
UH, I REVIEWED MY PURCHASE REQUESTS SUCH AS THIS MADE THROUGH THIS, UH, HAVE COME FORTH, HAD RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT YOU'VE ALREADY COMPLIED WITH THAT.
UH, WE ALSO LOOKED AT SOME POTENTIAL LOCK BLOCK PURCHASES THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO US.
THEY'RE ARE NOT OFFICIAL AT ALL.
UH, WE JUST LOOKED AT THEM AND DISCUSSED THEM WITHIN OUR LITTLE WORK GROUP, MADE NO DECISIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
UH, WE ALSO LOOKED AT PRELIMINARY A LOT PLAN PLANS FOR JONES STREET AND EIGHTH STREET AT OUR MEETING.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, THAT WE NEED TO GET SERIOUS AND MOVE ON WITH THE LAND PLANNING ON THOSE PROJECTS.
AND, UM, WE ALSO HAD A, YESTERDAY HAD A VERY NICE CONFERENCE CALL WITH DR.
CALDWELL, UH, AND, UH, SUMMATION OF THAT, OF THAT CALL WAS THAT, UH, THE HOUSING WORK GROUP HAS, UH, RECOMMENDS THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE DELIVERABLES FOR PHASE TWO.
AND THAT WE APPROVE THE PAYMENT OF $5,000 AS PART OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE PHASE TWO WORK THAT DR.
CALDWELL DID, UH, BOTH PARTIES AGREE THAT FUNDING IS, IS THE NEXT HURDLE THAT WE HAVE TO CLEAR, AND THAT BOTH PARTIES WILL BECOME ACTIVE IN PURSUING FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE.
HE'S GOING TO DO SOME OF IT WITH CONTACTS HE HAS, AND WE'RE GOING TO WITHIN OUR PURVIEW, UH, LOOK AT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES ALSO.
AND, UH, WHEN FUNDING IS SECURE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, THEN DOC CALDWELL WILL BE INVITED BACK TO THE TABLE AT THAT TIME AS A PARTICIPANT, ALONG WITH ANYBODY ELSE WHO LOOKS AT THIS TAPE AND THAT BECAUSE OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND STATUTES THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IS NOT AN EXCLUSIVE TYPE OF OR ARRANGEMENT.
IT IS ONE THAT, UH, WE WILL HAVE OPEN PROCEDURES WITH AND TRANSPARENT ACTIVITIES IN, IN DEALING WITH DEVELOPERS, UH, UTILIZING OUR FUNDING THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SECURE.
SO IT WAS GOOD MEETING AND GOOD CONVERSATION, AND EVERYBODY HEADED OUT LOOKING FOR MONEY AS USUAL.
AND WE ALSO ARE ARRANGING, UH, OUR DUE DILIGENCE VISIT TO THE CARTER PROPERTY TO FULFILL THAT OBLIGATION, THAT CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH MR. CARTER PURCHASES PROPERTIES ON THAT STREET.
SO THAT'S REPORT FROM THE HOUSING WORK GROUP TOMORROW.
UH, WE, UH, THERE'S SOME NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAD THE DAY, UM, AND I AVOID TO WAIT TO GO INTO THOSE DEVELOPMENTS BECAUSE I HAVE A MEETING WITH THE DEVIL RESIDENTS' COUNCIL TOMORROW AT 6:00 PM, UM, TO ACTUALLY TRY TO ASCERTAIN AND GET A PULSE OF OPTION ONE AND TWO WITH REGARDS TO PARKING AND WHAT TO DO WITH THE HIM HOUSE.
UM, ALSO I NEED TO GET WITH, UH, MATT, UM, ABOUT THE CANAL PROJECT, WHERE A MONTH OLD, WE DO HAVE GIVEN THEM A SUMMARY OF THAT, AND THEY ARE DEFINITELY WAITING THROUGH THAT RIGHT AT ME THE DAY WHEN I ARRANGE THE SPEED.
SO I DEFINITELY NEED THOSE STAKES FOR THAT.
UM, BUT IN THE SESSION, UH, ABOUT THE SPECS OF THE BUILDING AND REGARDLESS OF THE WELLNESS, AND I WANT TO THANK THE HOUSING WORK GROUP, UM, BECAUSE INSTEAD I WAS ASSUMING THEY WOULD BUILD A BUILDING AND WE WOULD ADJUST WITH THE PROGRAMMATIC ASPECT OF THE BUILDING, BUT THEY'RE EXPERTS, AS I SAID EARLIER, AND THEY SAID THAT WE SHOULD ACTUALLY INFORM THE SPECIFICATIONS IN THE ROOMS OF THE BUILDING PRIOR TO BREAKING THE GROUND.
SO I CALLED, UM, I, I, TO ME AN EXPERT, UM, HE'S SO HUMBLE.
HE'S NOT GOING TO TELL YOU, BUT, UM, IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THIS EXPERT, HE WANTS TO REMAIN ME, LISTEN.
[00:50:01]
UM, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE CERTAIN LAWS AND MEDICAL REGULATIONS THAT IMPACT THE SPECS, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE WANT TO PUT IN THE BUILDING.SO THAT'S GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON WHAT WE DO.
UM, WE'RE HOPING THAT WE CAN GET THE EXPERTISE OF SCOTT HAROLDSON, UM, WHERE HE CAN ASSIST.
UM, BUT IF IT'S A MEDICAL CENTER, IT'S A CERTAIN GUIDELINES YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IF WE COINED IT AS A WELLNESS CENTER, OKAY.
THERE'S CERTAIN GUIDELINES MAY HAVE TO FOLLOW NOT AS INTENSE AS THE MEDICAL CENTER, BUT IT'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO.
I'M HOPING WE CAN COME TO A COMPROMISE OF A HYBRID TYPE OF MODEL IN REGARDS TO THIS AND SEE IF THE SPECS, UM, SEE WHERE WE CAN HAVE SOME, UM, SOME WIGGLE ROOM COST TO THE SPECS, BECAUSE IT WON'T BE, UH, THE NURSES WOULD BE THERE, BUT LIKE WE KICKED AROUND TODAY, UH, UH, DOCTOR, POSSIBLY, IF WE CAN GET ON THURSDAYS TO COME IN, YOU KNOW, FROM ONE TO FIVE, UM, IF THAT'S THE CASE, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT ONCE WE BEGIN PUTTING THINGS IN TO THE BUILDING, WE HAVE A MEETING AT 11 O'CLOCK ON FRIDAY.
SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MY GROUP.
I CALLED THE DAY, THEY COULD'VE SAID NO, I MEAN THAT FAST, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT I'M DEALING WITH, DUKE, UH, DUKE CENTRAL MERCY CLINIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT, I MEAN, FOR ALL OF THEM TO SAY, YEAH, WHILE THIS 11 THOUGHT WOULD BE THIS AND IT'S WAY.
I MEAN, I JUST, I MEAN, I AM AT A FORTUNATE MAN, UH, FOR THAT TO HAPPEN IS FINE.
IT'S MORE SO I DEFINITELY WANT TO GIVE, THANKS TO THAT, UM, THINGS THAT WE KICKED AROUND TODAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS, UM, AS, UH, SUGGESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS FOR THE ROOMS OR WHAT GOES INTO THE BUILDING, UM, FILE ROOMS THAT WE FALL INSIDE, MEDICAL RECORDS, UM, THAT GETTING AWAY FROM PAPER PENCIL.
SO AS EVERYBODY IS, SO, UM, WOULD, WOULD IT BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A LAPTOP THERE THAT, THAT IS ACTUALLY LINKEDIN TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S DATABASE? UM, WE DISCUSSED THE BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS.
THAT'S GOING TO BE NEEDED IF IT'S A MEDICAL FACILITY OR ARE WE GOING TO HAVE OXYGEN AND COMPRESS THEIR GAS? I MEAN, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THOSE TYPE OF THAT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT IN THAT BUILDING, UM, THE LAB, IS IT GOING TO BE A TRANSFERABLE LAB OR IS IT GOING TO BE A REAL LAB IN, IN THE, UH, WELLNESS CENTER, BUT THIS WILL BE PATIENT DRIVEN.
UM, ALL WHAT WE'RE DOING IS GOING TO BE PATIENT, UH, PATIENT DRIVEN, ACTUALLY PASTOR ROYAL, UM, ACTUALLY FACILITATED A CONVERSATION THAT YOUR RESIDENTS HAVE.
SO WHAT THEY GOT FROM THAT WAS OVERWHELMINGLY 90% OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS IS EDUCATION.
SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A PLATFORM INEVITABLE.
UM, BUT THEN THEY ALSO KICKED AROUND AN OFFICE FOR AN ONSITE SOCIAL SERVICES REP, UM, FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT THEY WANT, GOD HAS SAID.
AND THEN, AND THEN THE REST OF IT WAS KIND OF A BROAD RANGE.
IT WOULD BE AN EIGHT O'CLOCK IF I TOLD YOU ALL WHAT IT WAS IN THERE.
BUT, UM, IT WAS A BROAD RANGE OF HEALTH DISPARITIES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED ASSISTANCE WITH.
WE'RE GOING TO BE LARGELY SCREENING AND BENCHMARK WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OF THE MERCY CLINIC, IF WE NEED SOMETHING MORE INVASIVE.
UM, BUT THESE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WAS KICKED AROUND WITH THE TWO HOURS WHERE WE GOT ON THE PHONE, THIS WOMAN.
THAT'S WHY I GOT A GREAT GROUP.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE THAT GOOD? OKAY.
UM, I GOT HIM THIS LAST SHOUT OUT TO A MAN THAT WENT THROUGH THAT.
THAT'S JUST BEEN THROUGH SOME TRIALS OF JOE, UH, OVER THE PAST MONTH.
AND HE HAS BEEN STEADFAST, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS IN RECOVERY WITH KEEPING THE BALL GOING AND KEEPING THE INTERACTIONS WITH DOC.
I MEAN, WHEN I CALLED HIM THE DAY THEY WERE READY, THEY ALREADY KNEW THAT WE WERE READY.
I MEAN, WHAT THE WORD AND I HAD MISTAKENLY LAST TIME I TALKED TO HIM BEFORE HE WENT AND HAD SURGERY, MISTAKENLY HIT THE BLOCK BUTTON ON THE PHONES AND WENT AND CALLED HIM UP AND GAVE ME, I'M LIKE, WHERE'S RICHARD.
HE'S LIKE, WE'RE A BUCK, BUT REGGIE, YOUR WAIT, HE JUST KEPT GOING.
AND THEN HE TOLD ME THE NEXT STEPS AFTER WE GET THIS DONE AND HOW HE WANTS TO REALLY GROW AND KEEP THIS BALL ROLLING TO A SNOWBALL EFFECT.
I JUST GOT TO SAY, THANK YOU BALLS.
CAUSE YOU, YOUR VISION IS WAY MAYBE IN A MONTH.
UM, SO THE NEXT REPORT OUT THAT I HAVE NEXT MONTH, WE'LL GO INTO THOSE NEXT STEPS.
I CAN'T, I, I WOULDN'T DO IT TONIGHT, BUT KEEPS ON, ON, ON POINT TO, TO SET A RECORD INTO THIS MEETING.
SO I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT, BUT NEXT REGGIE'S GOING TO BE PREPARED NEXT TIME TO TELL YOU HIS VISION GOING FORWARD.
AND WE STAND STEADFAST BEHIND REGGIE JONES.
IN REGARDS TO THAT, I SAID IN MY REPORT, YOU OKAY, GREAT.
ANY QUESTIONS DISCUSSION WITH, UH, DEBARI BACK WORK? DID THEY, DID THEY NOT, UM, TALKED ABOUT AN EDUCATION PORTION AND AREA, UH, UH, PASTOR ROLE IS INVOLVED WITH THAT.
UM, WHAT, IS THERE A PURPOSE FOR THE, UH, DEPUTY FIELD HUB? I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS DONE FOR.
THEY WON'T HAVE LIKE THE EQUIPMENT AND THINGS THAT WE'RE PUTTING OVER HERE.
THEY'RE MORE OF A PAMPHLET TYPE OF A PERIODICAL OR THINGS LIKE THAT TYPE OF INFORMATION.
THAT'S THE LAST CLUE WE'RE GOING TO BE THE WELLNESS CENTER.
SO THERE WILL BE ACTUALLY COMPLIMENTS AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHY SHE WAS GETTING
[00:55:01]
THAT WHOLE, TRYING TO SEE WHAT SHE NEEDS TO OFFER IN REGARDS TO EDUCATION TO THE COMMUNITY.I WAS JUST HAPPY TO GET THAT INFORMATION TO HELP REFORM.
WHAT WERE THE TRAJECTORY THAT I THINK IT'S SAYING EXACT, SHE'S GOT THE HOOK, CAN'T THE EDUCATION TAKE PLACE IN HER OF, SO THAT THE SPACE IT'S NOT USING YOUR SPACE THAT MAY BE USED FOR MORE WELLNESS TYPE THINGS.
I THINK THAT IS THAT PRETTY MUCH YOUR QUESTION.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DUPLICATE MY CONCERN IS IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYBODY AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A SET AMOUNT OF MONEY OR WHATEVER YOU GOT TO DO, AND THAT THE KEY, THE DRIVING FORCE HERE IS THE WELLNESS AND THE HEALTH DISPARITIES THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE DIABETES CHECK AND WHEN IT'S EDUCATION, IS THERE A NURSE PRACTITIONER, SOMEBODY THERE THAT CAN EDUCATE SOMEONE ON HOW TO TAKE THE MEDICINE, HOW TO TEST THAT KIND OF STUFF, SAME THING FOR BLOOD PRESSURE, FOR OTHER THINGS THAT, THAT YOU NEED, YOU KNOW, THE LAB, THOSE ARE ALL REALLY GOOD THINGS, BUT I THINK YOU NEED TO DETERMINE, YOU KNOW, FINANCIAL LITERACY THAT'S IMPORTANT, BUT I SEE THAT AT THE HUB, NOT AT THE WELLNESS CENTER.
AND THEN WE HAVE TO ASCERTAIN, IS SHE GOING TO EVENT OPEN DAY HOUR? SO I THINK I NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH PASTOR WOODY, WHAT WE DID THAT WITH.
SHE BRINGS IN A VARIETY OF RESOURCES THAT ARE DEALING WITH HEALTH AND WELLNESS THAT COMES TO AS FAR AS SHE CONSIDER YOUR HOPE FOR THEM TO COME MERCY CLINIC, ET CETERA.
BUT I JUST THINK FOR SPACE SAVING MEASURES.
SO THIS IS ALREADY IN PLACE SO THAT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR SPACE FOR THE, FOR THE PATIENTS.
AND, UM, I, THE THING I LIKE ABOUT THE WAY THAT THIS IS BEING DEVELOPED IS THERE IS A STRONG BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COMPONENT.
I THINK THE FINANCIAL PART'S VERY IMPORTANT.
UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK, I THINK YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS EVERYTHING THAT, THAT CREATES A BARRIER.
UM, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN DOING, I I'VE BEEN HERE 23 YEARS OR SO, AND 22 OF THEM HAVE BEEN AS A HOSPITAL PHYSICIAN AND THEN WORKING WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AS WELL.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE PLACES WE FALL DOWN ARE, ARE, ARE CANCER SCREENING AND CHRONIC DISEASE SCREENING.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, HELPING PEOPLE ADOPT LIFESTYLES THAT FAVORABLY IMPACT THOSE INCOME, UM, THOSE OUTCOMES.
SO, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO KIND OF DO IT ALL.
AND THE MORE OF IT THAT YOU CAN DO UNDER ONE ROOF THE BETTER.
AND I THINK THAT PASTOR OIL'S APPROACH IS GREAT, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE SIMILAR IN SOME WAYS.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT THESE ARE INTERVENTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO TAKE UP A GREAT DEAL OF SPACE.
UM, AND THEY'RE ALSO EXCELLENT RESOURCES FOR PRIMARY CARE IN THIS COMMUNITY WITH THE MERCY CLINIC AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
AND WE WANT TO LEVERAGE THOSE SERVICES.
WE HAVE A LOT OF BANDWIDTH IN THE, IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, IN ADULT PRIMARY CARE, IN PAEDS THAT AREN'T BEING USED.
UM, SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE RESOURCES ARE BEING USED AS WELL AS THEY CAN BE USED.
UM, AND THE OTHER PIECE IS REALLY SUBSTANCE, HOW WE ADDRESS, UM, YOU KNOW, THE ISSUES OF DESPAIR THAT LEAD TO, UM, SELF-MEDICATION THROUGH DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES.
THERE'S A LOT OF LAYERS TO THIS.
SO I, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M REALLY EXCITED PART OF THIS AND WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO, TO MOVE THE NEEDLE OF, UH, YOU KNOW, THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN THE COMMUNITY WILLING TO DO, JUST TO ADD TO THAT KIPP, OH MAN, I'M READING THAT 11, THE ROUGH DRAFT YOU SENT THIS MORNING, I'M GOING TO PROJECT THAT TO THEM AND SHARE THAT WITH THEM.
AND THEN THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE THE VISUAL AND THEN WE'LL START SEEING WHAT CAN GO WHERE IN THIS MANNER TO HELP INFORM, UH, WE'RE DEALT WITH THIS AND TO PIGGYBACK OFF OF THE ASSIGNMENT, THIS IS FROM FIRST OFF, THE PERSON LIVE IS THAT FOR BUSINESS THEY'LL COME ON THE CENTRAL.
WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO HAVE DONE RESEARCH, UH, RESEARCH PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION AROUND EACH OF THESE AREAS.
I SENT HIM THE PLAN, UM, AS INDICATED WE HAVE APPLIED FOR A DOCTORAL PROGRAM, WHICH WE WILL HAVE, WHICH WILL HAVE A FOCUS ON RURAL AND URBAN COMMUNITY HEALTH IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
ONCE WE DID MORE, WE WILL INVOLVE IN THIS ENDEAVOR IS ALSO, UM, THERE'S A LOT OF EXCITING MAIN DOCTOR.
[01:00:01]
HER ENTITY HAS CHANGED.SHE WANTED ME TO CHANGE WHAT THE BOARD OF AUGMENT, APPROVED OUR PLAN.
SHE SAYS, PLEASE CHANGE TRIBE, DURHAM TO TRY.
UH, AND THAT'S WHAT THEIR NEW DEAL IS.
AND THEY ALREADY HAVE STAFF WORKING IN NEWBURGH AS HEALTHCARE WORKERS THEY'RE ALREADY HERE.
SO, LIKE I SAID, NEXT MEETING, IT'LL BE MORE FOR CAMPAIGN PLANNING FOR OUR REPORT OUT WOULD HAVE READY TO GO WALL.
SO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS WE WILL MEET WITH THE LAWYER.
WE'LL SEE WHERE WE CAN KIND OF COALESCE, YOU KNOW, OUR RESOURCES OR WE CAN JOIN THEM AT, AND THEN WHERE WE NEED TO EPISODE, OKAY, DOES THIS FOR YOUR EDIFICATION, BETH? AND I TALKED A LITTLE BIT, WE KIND OF LIKE OPTION TWO A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN OPTION ONE REALLY ARE THE MEAT OPTION, WHICH IS, I MENTIONED THAT IT'S VERY LIGHT AS FAR AS PROJECTING AND SO FORTH, MAKING SURE IT REALLY WORKED, BUT TURNING THE BUILDING PERPENDICULAR TO THE STREET RATHER THAN FACING THE STREET.
SO THAT THERE'S MUCH MORE EFFICIENT USE OF FOR PARKING, PARKING AND SO FORTH.
AND IT CREATE FOR GREEN SPACE AROUND THE BUILDING AND THE SITE AND KIND OF MAKE IT A MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE SITE.
SO THAT WAS THE ONE WITH THE 14TH, UH, NOT, OH, THAT WAS THE EIGHTH OR THAT'S WHEN WE WERE THERE.
THAT'S WHAT, THIS THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.
WE GOT MET MORE AFTER WE GOT OFF.
HUH? MOST PEOPLE DO ALL COORDINATE.
THANKS FOR THE WORKING COMMUNITY UPDATES.
IS THERE ANYBODY WHO CAN TALK ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVITIES TRIPS WITH ME? THE LAST WE SPOKE, UH, THEY WERE TO COORDINATE SOMETHING AND THEN WHATEVER THEY PUT TOGETHER, THEN WE WILL PROVIDE STAFF WITH, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO COME UP, TELL US WHY IT'S SUPPORTED.
THAT'S THE AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING IS ANY NEW BUSINESS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE COMMISSION.
YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR THE LAST NINE.
ME
