Apr 12, 2023 Redevelopment Commission

DO WE HAVE A SECOND ON THAT, OR ANY QUESTIONS? SECOND.

THIS TIME, ITEM FIVE, WE WILL BE HAVING, UM, UH, PUBLIC, UH, COMMENTS AND REMIND US THAT IT IS LIMITED TO, UH, FOUR UH, MINUTES THIS EVENING.

QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

WE WILL BE MOVING THAT AGENDA.

UH, ITEM, UM, DO WE HAVE OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES? DO WE MISS THEM? OKAY.

[5. Public Comments (limit 4 minutes) ]

OUR FIRST ONE WILL BE FOR MS. ROOF, UH, COOPER AT 10 22 COTON WAY, TRENT WOODS.

HI, EVERYBODY.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

UM, I JUST WANNA REMIND EVERYBODY ABOUT MY, UH, GRASSROOTS ANTI LITTER CAMPAIGN.

THIS IS A BAG THAT WAS GIVEN OUT TO US AT HUBER 1 0 1 BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

SO, UH, IF IT SAYS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LITTER, YOU LOSE, YOU KNOW, AND THEY'RE A BIG PART OF PICKING UP LITTER.

I'M SURE THEY WOULD LIKE AN ANTI LITTER CAMPAIGN.

AND, UM, I'VE SPOKEN TO THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE ALDERMAN ABOUT AN ANTI LITTER CAMPAIGN LIKE PITT COUNTY HAS, AND I'M THINKING, UM, AFTER THIS NEXT BIG CLEANUP IN DUFFY FIELD WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO START IT.

I TOLD THEM THAT MAYBE THEY WILL, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS LAST CLEANUP IN JUMPY FIELD IN DECEMBER, I DID NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL AFTER IT HAPPENED.

SO I'M REALLY HOPING THAT, UH, THE ONE COMING UP MAY 5TH AND SIXTH, THERE'LL BE A LOT MORE PUBLICITY.

I'VE HEARD THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOW UP TO HELP WITH THIS.

UM, MAY 6TH IS ALSO THE, A CLEAN SWEEP.

SO SOME PEOPLE WILL BE INVOLVED, WHETHER THEY'LL COME TO DUFFY FIELD OR NOT.

I DON'T KNOW.

UM, SUPPOSEDLY IF THERE'S MORE TRASH CANS, PEOPLE ARE MORE PRONE TO PUT LITTER IN THEM.

UM, I'VE GOT A LIST FROM GEORGE CHILDS OF ALL THE TRASH CANS IN DUFFY FIELD, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC ONES.

AND THEN I MADE A LIST OF VACANT LOTS THAT I THINK COULD BENEFIT FROM TRASH CANS IF Y'ALL WOULD HAVE ANY INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THESE.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE POLICY IS OR THE PROCEDURE TO GET MORE PUBLIC TRASH CANS IN AN AREA.

I KNOW THERE'S THREE PUBLIC TRASH CANS RIGHT DOWN AT THIS INTERSECTION HERE IN DOWNTOWN, UH, NEWBURN.

AND THE OTHER INTERSECTIONS SOMETIMES HAVE THREE TRASH CANS, OBVIOUSLY NO INTERSECTION IN DUFFY FIELD DOES.

AND SOME OF THE ONES THAT HAVE THEM AREN'T WELL USED, I'VE HEARD.

BUT SOME OF THESE BIG VACANT LOTS WHERE LITTER ACCUMULATES DO NOT HAVE TRASH CANS, AND I THINK THEY WOULD'VE GOOD IF THEY DID.

UM, AND OF COURSE, I HAVE MORE T-SHIRTS WITH ME, AND I'LL BE GIVING THEM OUT AT MARTIN MARIETTA PARK AT THE EARTH DAY EVENT.

IF ANYBODY NEEDS A T-SHIRT, I HAVE LARGE, EXTRA LARGE AND XXL.

SO THAT'S IT.

AND THIS ISN'T WORKING FOR SOME REASON, BUT ANYWAY.

UM, NEXT IS MS. BARBARA SAMPSON, NEWBURN, NORTH CAROLINA.

MS. SAMPSON? YES.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

GOOD EVENING.

THAT YOU GUYS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING.

FIRST LET ME GIVE, UM, THE GOD, AND, UH, I WAS JUST, UH, WONDERING YOU IF THAT HOUSE ON UBANK STREET, IF IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A TRANSITIONAL HOUSE OR HAVE SOMEONE PURCHASE, PURCHASE IT THAT OWNED THE HOUSE, BECAUSE I KNOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TRANSITION, THEN I HEARD SOMEBODY SAYING THAT SOMEBODY PURCHASED IT.

BUT I SAY I COME HERE AND I'M PRETTY SURE

[00:05:01]

UM, WE ARE GONNA BE, UH, ADDRESSING THAT IN OUR, UH, REPORT FOR, FOR THE HOUSING, UH, WORK GROUP.

AND, UH, IF IT, THAT STILL DOESN'T ANSWER YOUR, UH, QUESTION, WE'LL TALK TO YOU AFTERWARDS.

BUT YES, WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT.

AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE FILL THE TRUCK, UH, AT, UH, TRINITY VISIT TAYLOR.

HE'S LEAVING IT WHERE THEY GETTING TOILETRIES, WATER AND DIFFERENT ITEMS, SANITARY ITEMS, AND ANYTHING THAT'S NOT NON-PERISHABLE.

AND THEY'RE GONNA TAKE HER TO MISSISSIPPI.

A KICKOFF DAY WAS TODAY FROM 47, BUT YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO, UH, DONATE BECAUSE WE ARE DOING IT NEXT WEEK, MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND FRIDAY FROM 10 TO 12, AND THEN IT'S GOING, GOING TO BE ALL 10 TO ONE, AND THEN IT'S GOING TO BE FROM 47.

SO ANYBODY YOU KNOW, THAT LIKE TO DONATE, YOU KNOW, JUST KEEP THEM IN MIND.

IS THAT, UM, IS THAT TRINITY ON BROAD STREET? YEAH.

TRINITY'S ON BROAD STREET, RIGHT BESIDE AT ON.

THAT IS FILLED, FILLED, THE TRUCK.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I THINK THAT WAS OUR LAST, LAST ONE.

OF SIX, WE HAVE APPROVED MINUTES, UH, MARCH 8TH, UH, 2023, UH, MINUTES.

AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

ITEM

[6. Approve Minutes * March 8th, 2023]

AND YOU SHOULD HAVE, UH, RECEIVED THOSE MINUTES.

CORRECTIONS, MADAM CHAIR, I, I NOTED TWO THINGS THAT, UH, PROBABLY NEED TO BE CORRECTED, UM, UNDER THOSE PRESENT TABARI WALLACE'S LISTED, AND THEN UNDER THOSE ABSENT TABARI WALLACE'S LISTED.

HE'S A PRETTY AMAZING GUY, BUT I DON'T THINK HE'LL BE IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE.

I DON'T THINK HE CAN, CAN , ALTHOUGH I'M NOT SURE.

SOMETIMES I BELIEVE HE CAN, THE WAY HE TRAVELS AROUND GETS AROUND .

AND THEN UNDER, UH, ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, THE LAST LINE, UH, SAYS ALDERMAN ROYAL AND ALDERMAN WANTED MORE INSIGHT.

AND I, I'M THINKING THAT SHOULD BE ALDERMAN PRILL ON THE IMMINENT DOMAIN, WHICH YES.

DO YOU REMEMBER, WAS IT AUTO OR IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AUTO VEST.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT WAS VEST, AUMAN VEST.

LEMME MAKE THAT CORRECTION THEN.

ANY OTHER CORRECTIONS? OKAY.

IF WE COULD HAVE A, UM, MOTION TO, UH, APPROVE WITH THE, UM, CORRECTIONS.

SO MOVE SECOND.

SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

NAY.

AYES HAVE IT.

THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH.

ARE MOVING ITEM, UH, 11, UH, UP TO, UM, MOVING ITEM 11, EXCUSE ME.

[11. Working Groups Report ]

UM, AND THAT IS OUR WORKING GROUPS, UH, REPORT.

SO, UM, THE WORKING GROUP REPORT WE'RE GONNA HAVE IS JUST HOUSING TONIGHT.

UNLESS, UM, COMMISSIONER BRYANT, YOU JOINED THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, GROUP, BUT I DON'T THINK Y'ALL HAD OPPORTUNITY TO MEET, HAVE YOU? NO.

SO WE WILL HAVE THE HOUSING, UH, WORKING GROUP, UH, KIP AND .

UH, IF WE DID MEET, UH, IN LATTER PART OF MARCH TO DEAL WITH THE THINGS THAT WE WERE ASSIGNED AT LAST MEETING, AND ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT WAS UBANK STREET HOUSE.

SO WE GET BARBARA SOME ANSWERS TO WHAT OKAY.

HER QUESTIONS WERE, SO BETH, WOULD YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE EUBANK STREET HOUSE IS, UM, MOVING ALONG IN CONSTRUCTION? WE HAVE APPROVED AND PAID THREE OF THE, UM, PAY APPLICATIONS.

WE HAVE A FOURTH ONE THAT I'VE JUST RECEIVED.

AND COMMISSIONER, UH, BRYANT WAS ABLE TO VISIT THE SITE WITH ME ONE DAY LAST WEEK.

UM, AND RIGHT NOW THE HOUSE IS, IS, UM, HE'S FINISHED THAT REROOFING, THE NEW PORCHES ON THE HOUSE.

HE'S GOT THE NEW MECHANICAL SYSTEMS IN THE LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN, AND HE HAS JUST, UM, INSULATED THE HOUSE AND FINISHED WITH THE DRYWALL.

UM, AND THAT HOUSE, IN ORDER TO BE, UM, TO BE WITH THE CDGB FUNDS THAT WE HAVE, WILL BE, UH, HOUSING THAT WILL BE PROVIDED FOR A LOW TO MODERATE INCOME FAMILY.

AND THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION WILL NOT BE, UM, HAVING THAT AS A PROPERTY THAT WE ARE MAINTAINING.

SO FAR, THERE'S ONLY ONE IN THE AREA, AND THAT'S ON ROUNDTREE STREET THAT'S GETTING READY TO OPEN.

WE ARE MAINTAINING.

SO IN, IN OTHER WORDS, UH, WHAT SHE SAID IS GOING TO BE LOW TO LOW TO MODERATE, UM, RENTAL OR HOME OWNERSHIP.

IT IS NOT TRANSITIONAL, UH, HOUSING.

[00:10:01]

SO, UH, THAT, THAT ONE WILL NOT BE, WE EITHER, UH, HOME BUYER OR RENT OR BUYER TO RENT TO LET INCOME FAMILIES YES.

IF, IF, IF YOU RECALL, WE'RE PROHIBITED FROM OWNING PROPERTY FOR AND RENTING IT.

UH, SO WE WILL BE SELLING IT TO SOMEBODY WITH PROBABLY CONDITIONS THAT IT, UH, BE, IF IT'S NOT OWNER OCCUPIED, THAT IT WILL BE RENTED TO A LOWER OR MODERATE INCOME FAMILY.

AND THE CONTRACTOR, UM, IS PLANNING TO BE FINISHED WITH THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY.

SO HE IS OKAY.

MORE THAN HALFWAY DONE WITH THE CONSTRUCTION.

GOOD.

TO FURTHER OUR AGENDA FROM OUR LAST HOUSING WORK GROUP MEETING, UM, WE WERE PRESENTED THE, UH, PURCHASE PROPOSAL FROM MR. CHARLES DIGGS, UH, FOR 2 0 9 BRIAN STREET AND 8 21 WEST STREET.

UH, THAT WAS ORIGINALLY MADE IN AUGUST OF 2022.

, UH, THESE PARCELS AT THAT TIME, WE DID NOT OWN, UH, BUT WE REQUESTED THE COMMISSION REQUESTED, UH, THAT THE COUNTY CONVEY THEM TO US SO THAT WE COULD CONVEY THEM WITH CONDITIONS.

AND THAT WAS DONE.

AND WE JUST RECENTLY, UH, OBTAINED TITLE, UH, FROM THE, TO THOSE PROPERTIES.

AND WE ARE MAKING THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THAT, UH, THE, THE FIRST THAT WE AGREED TO THAT WAS THAT WE WOULD ESTABLISH A MINIMUM BID PRICE ON THE PROPERTIES AT CURRENT FULL TAX VALUE.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE HAVE RE-LOOKED THAT IN, THAT WE ACTUALLY, UM, SIGNED THE RESOLUTION TO SELL THE PROPERTY UNDER OUR EXISTING RULES OF THREE 75% OF THE EXISTING TAX VALUE.

SO I THINK WE NEED TO HONOR THAT.

SO, UM, WE WILL HONOR THAT, UH, OFFER TO PURCHASE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED BY MR. DIGGS.

THE OTHER THING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, BECAUSE THIS WAS PART OF THE PROCESS, WAS THAT WE WERE GOING TO PLACE CONDITIONS ON THE PROPERTIES, UH, AT 2 0 9 BRYAN STREET.

WE RECOMMEND THAT WE, UH, PUT A CONDITION THAT CONSTRUCTION OF A HOME MUST BEGIN WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF CLOSING.

UH, START OF CONSTRUCTION WILL BE DEFINED AS HAVING A COMPLETED FOUNDATION FOR THE HOME AT 8 21 WEST STREET.

AND THE, AGAIN, THE START OF CONSTRUCTION WILL BE DEFINED AS HAVING A COMPLETED FOUNDATION FOR THE HOME.

UH, WE APPROVED WITH SOME MODIFICATIONS.

WILL ALSO INCLUDE CONDITIONS ON BOTH PROPERTIES THAT THEY WILL HAVE A REVERSION CLAUSE FOR NON-COMPLIANCE, NOT MEETING THOSE TIMETABLES AT WHICH TIME, IF THEY ARE IN NON-COMPLIANCE, THAT PROPERTIES WILL REVERT BACK TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.

AND ALSO THAT ANY HOME NOT OWNER OCCUPIED, MUST BE SOLD OR RENTED TO LOW OR MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.

AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH, IN KEEPING IN, UH, LINE WITH OUR MISSION AS A REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.

SO THEIR, THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RESTRICTIVE COVENANT IS ON THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY, UH, TO MR. DIGGS AS WE GO FORTH.

THAT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE COMMISSION, THOUGH THAT DON'T HAVE TO BE VOTED UPON THE COURSE.

BUT THESE ARE, I MIS GIVEN THE REPORT.

UH, WE DISCUSSED THE CURRENT PROPOSAL, UH, THAT HAD BEEN SUBMITTED, UH, BY MR. PETER FRY, UH, ON THE JONES STREET PROPERTY 2 0 7 AND 2 0 3 JONES STREET.

AND WE RECOMMEND REJECTION OF THAT PROPOSAL.

UM, WE DISCUSSED THE OFFER TO PURCHASE OF PROPERTY ON P*****K AND NORWOOD STREET THAT HAD BEEN REFERRED TO US, AND WE RECOMMEND THAT WE DECLINE THAT OFFER.

UH, WE DISCUSSED THE STATUS OF THE PROPERTY ON WEST A STREET.

UH, WE HAVE RECENTLY BEEN CONVEYED 7 0 8 WEST, UH, WEST A STREET, UH, THAT HAD A DILAPIDATED HOME ON IT.

WE RECOMMEND THAT THE HOUSE BE REMOVED.

WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT WE DIRECT LEGAL STAFF TO SEEK A BOUNDARY LINE AGREEMENT ON THE PROPERTY LINE BETWEEN SEVEN 10 WEST A STREET AND SEVEN 18 WEST A STREET.

UM, WE REVIEWED PROGRESS, PROGRESS ON THE JONES STREET PROPERTY, AND WE RECOMMENDED THAT THE APPROVAL OF A MAP COMBINING 2 0 7 AND 2 0 3 JONES STREET INTO ONE PARCEL,

[00:15:01]

UH, A SUBDIVISION MAP OF THAT PARCEL, UH, CREATING THREE LOTS FACING WALT BELLA MC DRIVE.

THE LOTS WILL BE 42 FEET WIDE, 42 FEET WIDE, AND THE CORNER LOT WILL BE 53 FEET WIDE.

I THINK THOSE SURVEYS AND EVERYTHING ARE ALL IN YOUR PACKETS.

UH, WE REVIEWED FOUR POTENTIAL HOUSE PLANS FOR THE LOTS AND HAVE SENT THEM TO SEVERAL CONTRACTORS FOR PRICING.

AND WE ARE REVISING THE BUDGET FOR THE PROJECTED FOR THE PROJECT BASED ON REVISIONS TO THE PLAN.

AND THAT IS ALSO INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET, THE REVISED BUDGET THAT WE HAVE CREATED.

AND WE'RE REVIEWING, UH, ALL THESE MATERIALS AS WE GO ALONG WITH ALDERMAN ASTOR, WHO IS, UH, THE INDIVIDUAL, UH, FUNDING THIS PROJECT.

OUR FINAL ACTION FOR THAT MEETING WAS THAT WE REVIEWED THE FLOOR PLAN FOR THE WELLNESS CENTER CREATED BY MS. WALKER, UH, BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS WORK GROUP, WE AGREED TO FORWARD THE PLAN TO THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS WORK GROUP TO GET INPUT FROM THEIR PARTNERS.

ONCE THE PLAN IS REVISED BASED ON INPUT RECEIVED PROJECT WILL BE TURNED OVER TO THE HOUSE, TO THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS WORK GROUP FOR IMPLEMENTATION.

SO THAT'S, WE HAD A BUSY MEETING, LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY.

WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF STUFF.

UM, AND MOST ALL OF THE INFORMATION IS IN YOUR PACKET, THE SURVEYS, UH, THE HEALTH PLANS, AND THE BUDGET, SO THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR THE JONAH STREET PROJECT.

SO, UM, ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION ABOUT HOUSING WORK GROUPS WORK? COMMISSIONER BRYANT AND COMMISSIONER PROCTOR TO, UH, YOU WANNA WAIT TILL WE GET TO THESE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA? DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS NOW? NO.

WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEMS, UH, SEVEN ON THE AGENDA.

THAT'S THE REPORT OF THE HOUSING WORK GROUP.

[7. Consider Adopting a Resolution to initiate the upset bid process for 209 Bryan Street. ]

IT IS CONSIDERED ADOPTING A RESOLUTION TO INITIATE, UM, THE UPSET BID PROCESS FOR 2 0 9, UH, BRIAN STREET, WHICH WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IN THE HOUSING, UH, REPORT.

SO WE NEED A, UM, IF THERE ARE NO, UM, QUESTIONS, CAN WE MAKE, UH, THAT, THAT MOTION OR DOES SOMEONE HAVE, UH, QUESTIONS REGARDING 2 0 9 BRYAN STREET AND WHAT THE PROCESS IS? MAD CHAIR, I'D MAKE A MOTION THAT WE REC I WAS JUST GONNA ASK FOR ONE QUICK QUESTION JUST CAUSE I NOTICED MR. DIGGS COME IN.

OH, OKAY.

SO WE DID IDENTIFY A 12 MONTH AND THEN A 24 MONTH WINDOW FOR OPERATE FOR GETTING CONSTRUCTION STARTED ON THE TWO.

I DID NOT KNOW IF IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO GAUGE MR. DUKE'S INTEREST AS A PART OF THIS TO SEE WHICH ONE WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE 12 AND 24 IF HE'S GONNA POSSIBLY RESIDE IN ONE AND BUILD HIS OWN RESIDENCE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE THE ONE THAT HE'D PREFER TO HAVE THE 12 MONTH WINDOW OR THE GOOD EVENING.

EVENING.

APOLOGIZE FOR PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT, MR. DUKE.

TRY TRYING TO HELP HELP YOU OUT AS PART OF THE PROCESS.

APPRECIATE IT.

UH, NOW MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THE BRYAN STREET, I NEED TO HAVE I BUILT BY AT 12 BOXES.

THAT'S, THAT'S YOU HAVE, WE HAVE TO HAVE STARTED CONSTRUCTION.

STARTED CONSTRUCTION 12 AND THEN 24 4 WEST STREET.

HERE WE HAVE THAT MOTION.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE RECOMMEND THE UPSET BID PROCESS FOR 2 0 9 BRIAN STREET, UH, WITH THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS PLACED ON THE PROPERTY.

THAT CONSTRUCTION OF A HOME, IT MUST BEGIN WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF CLOSING.

START OF CONSTRUCTION, WILL BE DEFINED AS HAVING A COMPLETED FOUNDATION FOR THE HOME THAT WE INSERT, UH, A REVERSION CLAUSE INTO THE CON DEED.

AND THAT ANY HOME THAT IS NOT OWNER OCCUPIED, SUCH AS IF MR. D UH, D***S WOULD DECIDE NOT TO LIVE IN THAT HOUSE, THEN IT MUST BE SOLD OR RENTED TO LOW OR MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.

ITEM EIGHT, CONSIDER ADOPTING

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

IT'S BEEN RIGHT.

QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION.

[8. Consider Adopting a Resolution to initiate the upset bid process for 821 West Street. ]

[00:20:01]

A RESOLUTION TO INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS FOR 8 21 WEST STREET.

AND THAT WAS ALSO, UM, TALKED ABOUT IN THE HOUSING WORKING GROUPS REPORT AS WELL.

MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

UM, I DO WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT THERE IS A RESOLUTION REGARDING 8 21 WEST STREET, INCLUDED IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE.

THERE IS AN EXHIBIT A ATTACHED TO SAID RESOLUTION THAT ARTICULATES, UM, THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE HOUSING GROUP SAVE ONE EXCEPTION.

UM, THE RESOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO YOUR PACKET INDICATES THAT CONSTRUCTION OF A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING SHALL BEGIN WITHIN 12 MONTHS.

IF YOUR INCLINATION IS TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION, UH, THE RECOMMENDATION RATHER, UM, FROM THE HOUSING WORK GROUP AS IT'S BEEN AGREED UPON WITH MR. DIGGS HERE TODAY, THEN YOU JUST NEED TO INDICATE THAT INFORMATION ON THE RESOLUTION THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED.

OKAY? ALRIGHT.

YES, YOU'RE MAKING THAT MOTION.

OH, THAT DID NOT MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE, WE RECOMMEND.

UH, DID YOU INITIATE INITIATION OF THE UPSET BID PROCESS, UH, FOR 8 21 WEST STREET? UH, WITH THE COVENANT RESTRICTIONS THAT CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOME BEGIN WITHIN 24 MONTHS OF CLOSING? YES.

AND START OF CONSTRUCTION WILL BE DEFINED AS HAVING A COMPLETED FOUNDATION FOR THE HOME.

THAT THE DEED TO CONTAIN A REVERSION CLAUSE FOR NON-COMPLIANCE AND ANY HOME NOT OWNER OCCUPIED, MUST BE SOLD OR RENTED TO LOW OR MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.

I'LL SECOND THAT ONE AS WELL.

ALRIGHT, .

ANY, UH, QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

NAYS? AYES HAVE IT.

YOU CAN GO TO HOOD.GOV AND FIND OUT THE MEDIUM INCOME FOR KREMER COUNTY.

I'M SURE YOU KNOW, KNOW THAT 60, 80 AND THE 30%.

[9. Discussion on 203/207 Jones Street with the Board to have an option to vote on one of the following: ]

UH, ITEM NINE, UM, DISCUSSION ON 2 0 3, 2 0 7 JONES STREET WITH THE BOARD TO HAVE AN OPTION TO VOTE ON ONE OF THE FOLLOWING, INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS.

OPTION B AUTHORIZED THE INITIATION OF THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS.

I SEE MR. VICE CHAIR LOOKING AT ME.

UM, SO I'LL GIVE YOU ALL AN OVERVIEW OF THANK YOU WHERE WE ARE PROCEDURALLY, UM, AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHOICES THAT ARE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.

UM, AS YOU ALL ARE VERY FAMILIAR, UM, THAT MR. FRY CAME, I BELIEVE THAT LAST MEETING WAS IN MARCH MM-HMM.

AND MADE A PRESENTATION TO YOU ALL.

HE HAD SUBMITTED OFFERS TO PURCHASE ON 2 0 3 AND 2 0 7 JONES STREETS.

I DO BELIEVE THAT THOSE OFFERS TO PURCHASE HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE.

YOU ALSO HAVE HEARD THIS EVENING THAT THE HOUSING WORK GROUP, UM, HAS MADE THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THOSE PROPERTIES NOT BE SOLD AT THIS TIME.

INSTEAD THAT YOU ALL, UM, AUTHORIZE THEM TO RECOMBINE 2 0 3 AND 2 2 0 7 JONES STREETS, UM, AND GO THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS TO REPLAT THEM AND REORIENT THEM, UM, INTO THREE LOTS TOWARDS WALK BELLAMY DRIVE.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS COMMISSION CANNOT DO BOTH.

UM, SELL 2 0 3 AND 2 0 7 JONES STREETS AS THEY EXIST RIGHT NOW, UM, THROUGH THE UPSET BID PROCESS, UM, AND SUBDIVIDE THEM AT THE SAME TIME.

SO WE'RE AT A FORK IN THE ROAD WHERE YOU ALL MUST MAKE A DECISION.

SO TONIGHT IT IS THE PURVIEW OF THIS COMMISSION TO DISCUSS AND ULTIMATELY MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHETHER YOU, YOU WOULD ELECT OPTION A, WHICH WOULD INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS FOR MR. FRY OR WHOMEVER, UM, TO BE THE FINAL HIGHEST BIDDER TO ACQUIRE, UH, THE REAL PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 2 0 3 AND 2 0 7 JONES STREETS.

THERE IS A RESOLUTION TO THAT EFFECT INCLUDED IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE.

YOU WILL NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS ATTACHED TO THAT, UM, RESOLUTION.

IF THE INCLINATION OF THE MAJORITY OF YOUR MEMBERS IS TO INITIATE THE UPSET BID PROCESS, PERHAPS YOU CONSIDER WHETHER ANY CONDITIONS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE, UM, TO GO ALONG WITH THAT PROCESS.

IF A MAJORITY OF YOU ARE MORE INCLINED TO ELECT OPTION B, WHICH IS TO AUTHORIZE THE INITIATION OF THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS, UM, THEN THIS BODY WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH CONTACT AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO RECOMBINE AND RE, UH, REPLAT THOSE LOTS, THOSE TWO LOTS INTO THREE LOTS ORIENTED TOWARDS, UH, WAT BELL DRIVE CONSISTENT WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE HOUSING GROUP.

SO YOUR, THE TASK TONIGHT IS TO DISCUSS, AND IF THE MAJORITY OF YOU CAN AGREE ON EITHER OPTION A OR B, UM, TO MAKE THAT DECISION TONIGHT.

YOU'VE HEARD THE HOUSING WORKING GROUPS RECOMMENDATION.

THANK YOU ATTORNEY.

UM, LET ME START WITH COMMISSIONER, UH, PROCTOR TO SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UH, OR THOUGHTS ON THAT.

[00:25:01]

YOU HEARD SOME OF THE PRESENTATIONS ON, UH, UH, JONES STREET.

AND SO, UH, YOUR, YOUR THOUGHTS WERE, UM, I THINK JUST A QUESTION ON THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS.

UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT, UM, AND I APOLOGIZE, I DIDN'T KNOW THE PRIOR BUDGET, SO I SAW THE UPDATED BUDGET, BUT I DON'T, I DIDN'T COMPARE OR WHATEVER, BUT SO WHO WOULD THIS, UM, COMMISSION PAY FOR THE SUBDIVISION? OR WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT THE ULTIMATE PURCHASER THAT WE'VE BEEN SPEAKING TO WILL PAY FOR IN THEIR, UM, PURCHASE? OR HOW, HOW WOULD THAT WORK? BASICALLY, WHO PAYS FOR THE SUBDIVISION? IT IS, IT, UM, IT'S A MINIMUM COST NOW AT, AT PLANNING GOT NO FEES WOULD RE REDONE.

OH, YEAH.

WELL, THERE'S NO FEES TO BE DONE WITH IT CUZ IT'S ADMINISTRATIVE STRAIGHT.

AND, AND, AND THEN THE ONLY, THE ONLY COST WOULD BE IN RECORDING THE PLATS.

AND I THINK THEY'RE $21 A SHEET.

SO NOT, NOT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY, BUT THE MONEY, THE, THE COST OF THAT IS, AND THE SURVEYING ITSELF IS ALL WRAPPED UP IN THE BUDGET.

THE PROCESS THAT WILL GO FORTH IS WITH THIS CURRENT PLAN AND BUDGET, IF WE DECIDE TO DO THIS, UM, ALDERMAN ASTRA WILL ASK THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN TO ALLOCATE THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM HIS A R P A R P MM-HMM.

A R P FUNDS, UH, TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.

AND THAT WILL ESTABLISH A PROJECT FUND FOR US TO WORK FROM.

AND THEN THESE KIND OF COSTS, THESE SEED MONEY COSTS, I THINK THINK THEY'VE CALLED IT IN THE PAST, THAT WILL ALL BE DERIVED FROM THAT POT OF MONEY.

SO THE, THESE THINGS WILL NOT HAVE TO COME OUT OF OUR NORMAL FUND, UH, FUND BALANCE.

THEY'LL COME OUT OF THIS PROJECT.

AND DO WE HAVE THAT CURIOSITY? DO WE HAVE A BACKUP PLAN IF THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN DOES NOT APPROVE ALDERMAN MASTERS'S PROJECT FUND? UM, NO.

IF WE DON'T, IF, IF THEY DO NOT APPROVE ALDERMAN MASTERS, UM, FUNDING OF THIS PROJECT, THEN THIS PROJECT WILL GO AWAY.

SO WILL THE LOT STILL BE SUBDIVIDED, LIKE THAT'LL BE DONE WHETHER, YEAH.

QUESTION.

COMMISSIONER BRYANT, SHE ASKED MY LAST QUESTION.

COMMISSIONER STRICKLAND? NO QUESTIONS THERE.

COMMISSIONER WALKER, I HAVE NO QUESTIONS.

BEEN WORKING ON IT A WHILE.

I IS VICE CHAIR.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO.

NO, I DON'T.

SO WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE, UH, COMMISSION, UH, TONIGHT AT THE ALL DAY WE'VE HEARD QUESTIONS, AN ANSWER AND A RECOMMENDATION OF THE COUNCIL.

IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING AT, I'D BE GLAD TO GO OVER THAT WITH YOU ALSO SO THAT YOU THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO.

NO QUESTIONS FORTHCOMING.

NO QUESTIONS.

LOOKING TO SEE IF QUESTIONS ARE FORTHCOMING.

DO YOU, UM, IT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE TO MENTION THAT WHEN WE PURCHASED THESE PROPERTIES, THE INTENT OF THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION WAS TO BUY TWO PROPERTIES AND DEVELOP THEM AND MM-HMM.

, UM, COMBINE THEM AND SUBDIVIDE THEM SO THAT WE COULD HAVE THREE GOOD PROPERTIES MM-HMM.

IN A WELL ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD AND ADD MORE HOUSING STOCK.

YEP.

THAT WAS OUR PLAN BEFORE WE EVEN RECEIVED THE, UM, OFFER TO PURCHASE FROM MR. FRY.

AND WE HAD TALKED ABOUT SUBDIVIDING THESE A LONG TIME AGO.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ALL REMEMBER THAT.

YEP.

IF THERE ARE NO MORE, UH, QUESTIONS, COULD WE HAVE A, UH, MOTION, MAKE A CHOICE AND WE'LL SEE WHERE IT GOES.

COMMISSIONER WALKER? YES.

I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE AUTHORIZE THE INITIATION OF THE COMBINATION AND SUBDIVISION PROCESS FOR THREE LOTS FACING WALT BELLAMY OF THE CURRENT 2 0 3 AND 2 0 7 JOHN STREET.

ANY QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION? ROLL CALL, VOTE.

MADAM CHAIR.

NEED TO ROLL CALL.

UH, COMMISSIONER BRYANT? YES.

COMMISSIONER PROCTOR? YES.

COMMISSIONER STRICKLAND? YES.

CHAIR LEE? YES.

UH, VICE CHAIR PER GOY? YES.

MOTION CARRIES.

PROCEDURALLY, DO WE HAVE TO EXPLICITLY DECLINE THE OFFER FROM MR. FRY FOR THE PROPERTY, OR IS THAT IMPLICIT BASED ON WHAT WE JUST DID? I WOULD ENTERTAIN ANOTHER MOTION TO EITHER ACCEPT OR REJECT MR. FRY'S OFFER.

MIND CHAIR FOR, UH, MIND ATTORNEY.

JUST THE, TO DOUBLE CHECK,

[00:30:01]

I'D MAKE A MOTION THAT WE FORMALLY DECLINE MR. OFFER.

REGARDING 23 2 0 7 JONES STREET.

SECOND, REGARDING 2 0 3 AND 27.

SECOND.

QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

ROLL CALL.

ROLL.

PAUL.

OH, WE NEED TO ROLL PAUL? YES.

COMMISSIONER BRYANT? YES.

COMMISSIONER WALKER? YES.

COMMISSIONER PROCTOR? YES.

COMMISSIONER STRICKLAND? YES.

CHAIR LEE? YES.

VICE CHAIR PARAGUAY? YES.

[10. Executive Director's; Report ]

WILL ADD, UH, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 10, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S, UH, REPORT.

AND HER REPORT IS IN YOUR PACKET AND SHE'S MM-HMM.

? YES.

MY REPORT IS IN YOUR PACKET.

I JUST WANTED TO, UM, REMIND YOU GUYS THAT WE DO HAVE A NUISANCE OFFICER ASSIGNED TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA FULL-TIME.

, UM, WHEN HE FIRST STARTED, UM, ABOUT A YEAR AGO OR SO, UM, THERE WERE ONLY FOUR CARS THAT WERE TOWED.

IT IS CURRENTLY 158 VEHICLES THAT WERE REMOVED.

HOWEVER, IT IS STILL ON, ON CURRENTLY ON HOLD.

UM, IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THAT PROCESS HAPPENING, THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE PROCESS ON, YOU KNOW, TOWING VEHICLES AT THIS TIME.

UM, HE'S WORKING REALLY CLOSE WITH THE INSPECTOR, AND I'M STARTING TO RECEIVE A LOT OF INQUIRIES REGARDING INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE LOCAL OWNERS OF PROPERTY SEEKING TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY, OR IF THEY HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH, UM, RE MAKING CERTAIN REPAIRS, THEN THEY HAVE, UM, WE'LL CONTACT THE OFFICE AND OFFER THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE.

SO, UM, LOOK FOR THOSE CALLS TO CONTINUOUSLY INCREASE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SURPLUS LIST GOING OUT.

BUT AGAIN, I AM SEEING THAT THOSE INQUIRIES COME FROM PRIVATE OWNERS AS WELL.

IF YOU SEE IN THE PACKET THERE, UM, ARE A LIST OF PRIORITIES THAT, UM, MAY BE DISCUSSED IN MAY.

AND ALSO, UM, THE 1772 FOUNDATION HAS A PROPOSAL THAT, UM, THEY WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT IN MAY, WHICH THEY HAVE SOME FUNDS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, AND THEY'RE REQUESTING, UM, 15 MINUTES TO GO OVER THAT INFORMATION AT THE MAY MEETING.

ALSO, IN YOUR PACKET, YOU WILL SEE A FINANCIAL REPORT.

THAT REPORT COMES OUT ON THE 10TH OF EVERY MONTH.

UM, SO IT MAY NOT, I THINK THE NEXT MEETING IS ON THE 12TH, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, BUT THERE WILL BE AN UPDATED REPORT ON THE 10TH.

YOU SEE THAT THERE ARE THREE PARTS OF MONEY FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, IS THE REDEVELOPMENT FUNDS, THE CDBG FUNDS, AND THE OPERA FUNDS.

SO THAT GIVES YOU AN OVERVIEW OF OUR FINANCES.

UM, I, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW.

UM, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

THIS WILL BE MY LAST BOARD MEETING AND ANYTHING THAT I COULD DO WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE PUT IN MY TWO WEEKS NOTICE.

MY LAST DATE WILL BE APRIL THE 28TH.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. BOWMAN? THE, WE GOT A NOTICE FROM THE, UH, PERSON, THE ABATEMENT, NUISANCES ABATEMENT ABOUT MOWING, UH, 2 0 7 AND 2 0 3 ? YES, SIR.

OR, OR CAN WE GET, UH, PUBLIC WORKS TO MOW THAT? YES, THEY'RE ALREADY ON IT.

OKAY, GREAT.

YES, AND THE SUCCESS OF THE GETTING RID OF THE JUMP CARS IN, IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA HAS BEEN A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT.

AND, UH, THAT, THAT IS, IS A BIG PART OF GETTING RID, OF MAKING THE COMMUNITY LOOK BETTER AND CLEANER AND MORE PRESENTABLE.

AND THAT'S BEEN A PASS THAT ON TO EVERYONE, THAT, THAT HAS ALSO A GREAT, GREAT SUCCESS STORY.

SO, UM, INSPECTOR, UM, LU'S, OFFICER HOLMES, HE IS WILLING TO COME IN AND DO A PRESENTATION ON THE PROCESS, JUST SO YOU CAN SEE HOW HE ADDRESSES NOT ONLY THE VEHICLES, BUT THE HOUSES AND THE LAND AND STUFF AS WELL.

SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE OPEN TO, HE WOULD BE WILLING TO

[00:35:01]

COME IN MAY.

THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLING YOU WANTING TO SELL PROPERTY MM-HMM.

OR MOST OF THEM VACANT LOT OWNERS OR HOUSING UNITS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FEEL FOR THAT? YES, IT VARIES.

FOR INSTANCE, UM, THE LAST COUPLE THAT I SPOKE WITH, UM, THEY HAD A NUMBER OF HOUSES THAT, A RENTAL PROPERTY.

THEY SAID THAT THEY WANTED TO GET OUT THE RENTAL BUSINESS AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF WE WERE INTERESTED.

SO, UM, WHEN I CALLED THEM TO FOLLOW UP, THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND AND THEY SAID THEY WILL HOLD ON FOR A MINUTE, MINUTE FOR WHATEVER THAT MEANS, AND THEY WILL GET BACK WITH US WHEN THEY, YOU KNOW, ASSESS, YOU KNOW, THE PRICES AND EVERYTHING.

BUT ANYTHING THAT COMES DOWN, OF COURSE, I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO SEE IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR OKAY.

UM, WE'VE GOT AN

[12. New Business ]

11 ALREADY.

DO WE HAVE ANY NEW BUSINESS TONIGHT? UH, I'D LIKE TO BRING UP SOMETHING FOR US TO CONSIDER, OR MAYBE FOR OUR NEXT MEETING.

UH, THE NEW TAX VALUES ARE OUT ON THE PROPERTIES.

AND, UH, SOME OF THE, UH, TAX VALUES HAVE INCREASED A LITTLE BIT IN, IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA.

WE HAVE A POLICY, AN ADOPTED POLICY THAT WE SELL, UH, PROPERTIES THAT SOMEBODY WANTS TO, UH, ACQUIRE FROM US AT 3 4 3 70 5% OF, OF CURRENT TAX VALUE.

, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO, FOR US TO CONSIDER LIMITING THAT POLICY TO PROPERTIES ON THE SURPLUS LIST WHERE WE KNOW WE DO NOT WANT THEM MM-HMM.

, OR WE'VE ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO USE THEM.

UH, AND THEN ANY PROPERTIES THAT WE OWN THAT ARE NOT ON THE SURPLUS LIST, UH, DO NOT FALL INTO THAT PARTICULAR, UH, PROCESS.

AND THAT THEY THEN BECOME, UH, PRICED INDIVIDUALLY BY US WHEN THERE IS A REQUEST TO PURCHASE THAT WE CAN APPRAISE THEM AT, AT WHAT WE FEEL LIKE IS A CURRENT VALUE AND BEGIN DISCUSSIONS WITH SOMEBODY WHO IS INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THEM.

IS THAT, IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE, MADAM? WE NEED TO DO THAT A WORK SESSION OR WE CAN PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT TIME.

I, LET'S FIND OUT IF IT'S LEGAL .

SO THE COMMISSION, A MAJORITY OF YOU CAN CHANGE OR CREATE A POLICY WHENEVER, UM, IN THIS CASE, IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE POLICY, I WOULD RECOMMEND PUTTING THE CHANGE ON THE AGENDA, UM, THAT WHETHER THE PUBLIC HAS NOTICE AND YOU CAN RECEIVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT YOU THINK MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN MAKING A DETERMINATION.

AND IF THE MAJORITY OF THESE MEMBERS, UM, APPROVE THAT POLICY CHANGE, THEN IT CAN BE ENACTED.

ONE THING THAT YOU MAY CONSIDER IN, UM, MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE EXISTING POLICY IS, UM, HOW THAT POLICY CAN BE IMPLEMENTED.

SO IF MM-HMM.

, IT'S MY RECOLLECTION THAT THE CREATION OF A POLICY ESTABLISHING A MINIMUM BID, UM, FOR PURCHASINGS INTERESTED IN PURCHASING PROPERTY THAT YOU OWN, WAS TO, UM, PUT THE PROP, PUT THE PUBLIC ON NOTICE ABOUT WHAT THE, THE EXPECTATIONS WERE.

UM, SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE POLICY IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY, YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER WHETHER THE CHANGE THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING, UM, WILL GIVE CLARITY TO THE PUBLIC, WHICH I THINK WAS YOUR INITIAL INTENTION.

AND THAT'S JUST NOT A LEGAL ANSWER, BUT JUST A PRACTICAL MM-HMM.

NOTE OF WISDOM.

SO, UM, BUT I THINK THE DIRECTION, UM, THAT I'M HEARING WITH THE NODS IS THAT STAFF, UM, PLACE ON THE MAY AGENDA MM-HMM.

A REVISED, UM, MINIMUM BID POLICY WITH SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT I THINK VICE CHAIR HAS RAISED.

AND WE MIGHT ALSO DEFER THAT TO THE HOUSING WORK GROUP TO CREATE A WRITTEN, A DRAFT OF, OF A POLICY MM-HMM.

THAT SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE IT, RATHER THAN JUST TALKING THROUGH IT AT THE NEXT MEETING.

UH, I THINK WE NEED TO GO INTO, UM, CLOSED SESSION, UM, TONIGHT, BUT BEFORE WE GO IN.

YES, SIR.

YEAH, REAL QUICK, JUST BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE, UH, THE HOUSING WORKING GROUP TASK LIST, UH, WITH REGARDS TO WEST A STREET, DO WE NEED TO FORMALLY GIVE STEPHANIE GUIDANCE TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT? OR WAS IT MENTIONED OUT OF THE WORKING GROUP BEFORE ADEQUATE? NO, SIR.

WE NEED DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD.

UH, MS. WO WAIT, JUST MINUTE.

[00:40:03]

SEVEN.

OH YEAH.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DIRECTION IS FINE.

NO.

MM.

FOR YOU TALKING ABOUT 7 0 8 WEST STREET.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DIRECT THE REMOVAL OF THE DILAPIDATED HOUSE ON 7 0 8 MM-HMM.

DO YOU NEED THAT QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WE NEED TO ROLL, PAUL.

SO, ONE, ONE NOTE.

UM, THERE HAS BEEN A QUESTION, AND I DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE PARCEL NUMBERS MEMORIZED OR THE ADDRESSES MEMORIZED, BUT THERE HAS BEEN A QUESTION ABOUT ONE OF THE STRUCTURES.

THERE WERE SEVERAL STRUCTURES ON THESE LOCKS, AND ONE OF THE STRUCTURES FROM THE GIS TAX MAP APPEARS TO EITHER BE ON OR OVER THE PROPERTY LINE.

ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THAT HOUSE OR ANOTHER? NO, THIS, THIS, THIS IS THE, THIS IS A HOUSE SITTING ON THE PIECE OF PROPERTY WE JUST GOT FROM THE COUNTY.

THAT'S NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE BOUNDARY LINE.

RIGHT.

THE ONE WITH NO ROOF.

THE ROOF WAS REMOVED SOME WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

IF YOU ALL FEEL COMFORTABLE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEMOLITION COST WOULD BE OR IF ASBESTOS TESTING IS REQUIRED, BUT IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE, THEN YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD.

WE GET A COURT FROM PROBABLY, WE'VE ALREADY HAD ONE WAY.

YES, IT WAS, WE RECEIVED IT WAS 4,000 AND SOME CHANGE.

AND I JUST WANNA REMIND YOU GUYS THAT, UM, IN LOOKING AT THE BUDGET, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER PROJECTIONS, THEN WE NEED TO LOOK FORWARD FOR A BUDGET AMENDMENT.

WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT THAT TOO, IF OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING UP TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.

SO WE HAVE OUR MOTION AND WE HAVE, UM, WE HAVE A SEC.

WE HAVE A, UH, SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR.

ROLL CALL.

WE NEED TO ROLL, PAUL.

VICE CHAIR.

I HAVE MY GLASSES ON THIS TIME.

, UH, COMMISSIONER BRYANT? I KNEW IT.

COMMISSIONER PROCTOR? YES.

I'M NOT AS GOOD AS THE MAYOR GOING BACK AND FORTH.

I JUST GOTTA READ OFF THIS LIST.

UH, COMMISSIONER WALKER? YES.

COMMISSIONER STRICKLAND? YES.

COMMISSIONER LEE? YES.

AND COMMISSIONER PERGO? YES.

MOTION CARRIES.

AND THERE'S ONE MORE THING THAT WE WANT TO DO, AND THAT IS TO, UH, AND I DON'T THINK THIS REQUIRES A MOTION, DOES IT TO DIRECT STAFF, JUST GIVE US DIRECTION.

I'D LIKE, I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT WE GIVE STAFF DIRECTION TO ESTABLISH A BOUNDARY LINE AGREEMENT ON PROPERTIES ON THE PROPERTY LINE BETWEEN 7 18 7 18 WEST A STREET AND SEVEN 10 WEST A STREET.

READY? ALL RIGHT.

WE DON'T NEED A MOTION OR ANYTHING FOR THAT, DO WE? NO.

DIRECTION IS FINE AS LONG AS THERE IS A GENERAL CONSENSUS BY THE MEMBERS.

ANYTHING ELSE CHRIST SHARE? NO.

, I, I STILL THINK WE DO NEED TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION, BUT BEFORE WE DO, I WANT JUST WANT TO TAKE, UH, A MOMENT TO THINK, UH, MS. PATRICIA FOR ALL THAT, UH, SHE HAS DONE ALL THE WORK THAT SHE HAS HAS PUT IN, AND SHE, UM, SHE CAME HERE FROM, UH, THE PLACE, OTHER PLACE ON THE COAST, , UH, RUNNING, BUT WE WAS JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT SHE KNOWS THAT WE APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE THING THAT SHE HAS, HAS DONE.

AND WE, WE PRAY GOD'S BEST, UH, FOR YOU AS YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE.

AND IF WE CAN EVER BE OF ASSISTANCE TO YOU, YOU HAVE ALL OF OUR CELL NUMBERS.

DON'T WANT ME.
