FOR NUMBER FIVE, I'D ASK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA.I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA.
ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY, AYE.
[6. Comments by Board Members Followed by Brief Reception.]
NUMBER SIX, COMMENTS BY THE BOARD MEMBERS FOLLOWED BY BRIEF RECEPTION.I'M GOING TO GO BACK THROUGH TRADITION AND I'M GOING TO START AT 41 WITH ALDERMAN PRIO I DID ASK COLLEEN TO PUT AN ITEM UP ON THE SCREEN.
I CAME ACROSS THIS QUOTE FROM EDWARD EVERETT HALE RECENTLY, AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE VERY APROPOS FOR THIS EVENING AND SEE THAT IT'S COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING.
SO TONIGHT WE ARE COMING TOGETHER HAS A NEW BOARD.
IT IS MY HOME THAT WE CAN KEEP TOGETHER, WHICH IS PROGRESS AND HEARTFULLY THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AS A BOARD, WHICH WILL BE SUCCESS.
AND THAT WILL BE SUCCESS FOR THE CITY OF NEWBURGH.
FIRST OF ALL, I STARTED WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE IN THIS GREAT CITY OF NEW BERN.
I BELIEVE THAT THE POTENTIAL FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY, AS A CITY IS VERY MUCH AVAILABLE TO US.
I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS AND WITH THE GREAT STAFF IN THE CITY OF NEW BERN.
AND FINALLY, I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO SAY TOGETHER WE WIN.
UM, I TOO WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.
WE'VE GOT A JOB TO DO AND I'M READY TO GET IT STARTED.
ALL OF A SUDDEN WE'D LIKE TO THANK MY, UH, CONSTITUENTS IN WARD THREE, UH, FOR, UM, ALL THE SUPPORT, THE TELEPHONE CALLS AND SUPPORT.
AND, UM, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS NEW INTERSTATE COMING THROUGH OVER BY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND IT'S AN HONOR TO CERTAINLY THE NEW BOARD AND UH, THIS JUST WAITING TO THE NEXT MEETING TO SEE WHAT THE AGENDA IS ALL ABOUT TO START THE WORK.
WELL, MR. MAYOR LOOKING AT MY COMMENTS ARE PRETTY LONG, I GUESS, COMPARED TO WHAT I HAVE, BUT UH, MR. MAYOR, FELLOW ALDERMAN, DISTINGUISHED GUESTS, CITY STAFF, AND BELOVED FAMILY.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY A FEW WORDS AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES THIS NIGHT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN COMING.
THE WORDS OF SOLOMON WHEN HE FINALLY WAS ABLE TO DEDICATE THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM, SEEMED VERY APPROPRIATE.
UH, LORD, GOD OF ISRAEL, THERE IS NO GOD LIKE YOU IN HEAVEN, ABOVE OR ON EARTH BENEATH KEEPING COVENANT AND SHOWING STEADFAST LOVE TO YOUR SERVANTS, WHO WALK BEFORE YOU WITH ALL THEIR HEART.
I TRULY WISH TO GIVE GOD THE GLORY AND THANK THE CITIZENS OF WARD SIX.
FOR MY BEING HERE AS A FRIEND OF MINE, FREQUENTLY STATES CONCERNED CITIZENS SHOULD FIND GOOD CANDIDATES, GET THEM ELECTED, AND THEN HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE.
I'LL REMIND MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS THAT WE'RE NOW BEING HELD TO THE FIRE.
[00:25:01]
MAY BE USED TO THAT, BUT FOR OTHERS OF US, THIS IS A NEW EXPERIENCE.AND WHILE I'M NEW TO THIS BOARD, I DO WANT TO GIVE YOU A FEW OBSERVATIONS.
I THINK WE'RE BEING HELD TO THE FIRE TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR WHAT'S BEST, FOR NEWBURN TO HAVE A DIALOGUE WITH EACH OTHER AND OUR CONSTITUENTS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT BEST LOOKS LIKE AND TO BE TRANSPARENT IN THOSE DECISIONS.
THE PROBLEM WITH THOSE STANDARDS IS THESE TWICE A MONTH MEETINGS DO NOT LEND THEMSELVES WELL TO DIALOGUE WITH EACH OTHER OR WITH OUR CONSTITUENTS, WHICH ALSO LEADS TO COMPLAINTS ABOUT LACK OF TRANSPARENCY.
I SEE COMMUNICATION IS BOTH OUR CHALLENGE AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
I'LL TELL EACH OF YOU AND OUR CONSTITUENTS.
NOW I'M A VERY GOOD LISTENER TO THAT END.
I'LL BE REACHING OUT TO YOU OR CITY STAFF AND SOME OF OUR CONSTITUENTS FOR A DIALOGUE ABOUT WHERE WE SHOULD BE HEADED AS A CITY AND ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT OUR CITY FACES AND SOME OF THE SOLUTIONS.
AND I WILL CONTINUE THAT OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS.
CONVERSATIONS ARE TWO WAY STREETS, NOT ONE WAY.
IF YOU CONCERNED, YOU'RE NOT ON MY LIST OR I'M NOT T I'M TAKING TOO LONG TO GET TO YOU, PLEASE REACH OUT AND TOUCH, UH, GET IN TOUCH WITH ME AND LET'S TALK.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT, I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVE NO PROBLEMS TALKING OR MEETING WITH ANYONE.
WE CANNOT HAVE A CIVIL DIALOGUE WITHOUT THE DIALOGUE.
MY PERCEPTION OF SOME IN THIS CITY IS THAT WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING AT EACH OTHER RATHER THAN WITH EACH OTHER.
AND THAT INCLUDES OUR DIGITAL MEDIA AND OUR SOCIAL MEDIA.
I WANT TO CHANGE THAT WHILE WE WILL NOT ALWAYS AGREE.
I WILL LISTEN BEFORE I SPEAK AND I WILL UNDERSTAND BEFORE I DECIDE.
SO IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR CALL TEXT OR EMAIL ME AND LET'S TALK, I'M ALSO PROUD TO REPRESENT THE NEW-BORN VETERAN COMMUNITY TO THIS BOARD.
I THINK THAT ARE UNIQUE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT VETERANS CAN MAKE TO OUR GREAT CITY.
AND I WILL WORK TO BRING THAT PERSPECTIVE BASED ON MY MILITARY EXPERIENCE.
I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW UP FRONT THAT I HAVE AN OVERDEVELOPED SENSE OF DUTY AND A WORK ETHIC TO MATCH.
I WILL WORK HARD TO GET THINGS DONE CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME AND IN A TIMELY MATTER.
SO MR. MAYOR, FELLOW ALDERMAN, FELLOW CITIZENS, NEIGHBORS OF WARD SIX AND CITY STAFF, I LOOK FORWARD TO MANY PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS AND MAKING PLANS AND DECISIONS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR GREAT CITY.
I DIDN'T PREPARE ANY NOTES OR COMMENTS.
UM, DIDN'T QUITE KNOW THAT THE FIRST MEETING WAS GOING TO BE AS EMOTIONAL AS IT TURNED OUT TO BE, BUT, UH, I DID WANT TO CERTAINLY THANK MY WIFE, JEANIE AND MY SON, GAVIN, FOR THEIR SUPPORT THROUGH ALL THIS.
NO, THE BIBLE THAT I TOOK THE OATH ON WAS GIVEN TO ME BY MY MOM AND DAD WHO I KNOW OR UP ABOVE LOOKING DOWN ON US TONIGHT.
I REALIZED THAT, UH, THIS WAS NOT AN EASY TASK RUNNING FOR MAYOR.
OFTENTIMES WHEN YOU'RE UP HERE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT SEAT YOU MAY BE IN, YOU'RE FACED WITH CHALLENGES, YOU'RE FACED WITH OPPORTUNITIES AND THIS BOARD IS GOING TO BE NO DIFFERENT.
THERE'S NEW FACES, THERE'S NEW PERSONALITIES, BUT AGAIN, THERE'S NEW OPPORTUNITIES.
AND AS I LOOK IN THE AUDIENCE AND SEE SOME FAMILIAR FACES, I SEE SOME SUPPORTERS.
I SEE SOME NON-SUPPORTERS THAT'S THE REALITY.
AFTER THE ELECTION, WE WALKED INTO A RESTAURANT, I LOOKED AT MY WIFE.
I SAID, HOW DOES IT FEEL? KNOWING HALF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM DON'T LIKE YOU AND HALF OF YOU DO.
BUT, UH, AT THIS POINT, THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER.
IT IS TIME TO GOVERN AND IT IS TIME TO MOVE NEWBURN FORWARD.
I'M PROUD TO HAVE SERVED MY HOMETOWN FOR NINE AND A HALF YEARS.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT TERM AND YOU HAVE MY UTMOST PROMISE AND TRUST THAT EVERY DECISION I MAKE WILL BE DONE.
SO WITH THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY OF NEWBURN AT HEART, AND I TRUSTED MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS WILL DO THE SAME.
I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR A BRIEF RECESS.
SECONDLY, I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND ALL IN FAVOR, SAY, AYE, ALL OPPOSED? YEAH.
THERE'S SOME GOODIES AND A TIME OF FELLOWSHIP
[00:30:01]
WITH THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS.[7. Appointment of Mayor Pro Tempore and Administration of Oath.]
OKAY.WE ARE GOING TO RECONVENE OUR MEETING AND WE'RE MOVING TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, WHICH IS THE APPOINTMENT OF THE MAYOR PRO TIM AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE OATH.
IS THERE ANY COMMENTS OR ANY MOTIONS FROM THE BOARD ON WHO THAT WOULD BE? YES.
MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT, UM, JOHNNY RAY, KENZIE SERVES AS THE MAYOR PRO TEM.
SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION BY ALDERMAN, ASKED HER IN A SECOND BY ALDERMAN ROYAL.
ANY OPPOSED? CONGRATULATIONS ON THE KIDS.
SO I BELIEVE, UH, CITY CLERK WILL ADMINISTER YOUR OATH.
CAN YOU PLACE YOUR LEFT HAND ON THE BIBLE? RAISE YOUR RIGHT EYE JOHNNY BREAK-INS THAT YOU DO SUDDENLY SWEAR THAT I WILL SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
SO HELP ME, GOD, I, JOHNNY RAY CAN SEEM TO SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I WILL SUPPORT AND MAINTAIN THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE CONSTITUTION LAWS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
WE, UH, AND THE ALBUM FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE THE DUTIES OF MY OFFICE AS MAYOR PROTIUM.
SO HELP ME, GOD, I, JOHNNY RAY PNC DO SOLEMNLY AND SINCERELY SWEAR.
THE AD WILL BE FAITHFUL AND BEAR TRULY JUTS TO THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA AND TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS AND AUTHORITIES, WHICH ARE, OR MAYBE ESTABLISHED FOR THE GOVERNMENT THEY'RE UP AND THE ALBUM ENDEAVOR TO SUPPORT, MAINTAIN AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.
UPSETS STATE, NOT INCONSISTENT WITH THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES.
