[5:00] Thank you. Thank you all. Okay.
[5:03] Next, we have miss Lois.
[5:12] Alright, my name is Wilson I
[5:15] live at 865 Pine Avenue. and
[5:18] I'm before the board because of
[5:21] drainage problems.
[5:25] Lack of drainage. And another
[5:28] difficulties in my home. Um two
[5:31] different occasions. The ones
[5:33] right now still in the process.
[5:37] I have in here is basically
[5:41] pictures. We can't go through
[5:42] but I give them to the board if
[5:44] you guys want to look at em.
[5:45] You know, keep this open, you
[5:46] know, for next month or however
[5:48] you want to do it. To give you
[5:49] an idea of what you're dealing
[5:52] with, okay? So, so is it or is
[5:55] it because there's no drainage
[5:56] there or is it because it's
[5:58] blocked or it's. Well, let me start. Yeah. Well,
[6:02] Doctor. You're going to confuse
[6:04] me here. Okay. Okay. Um January
[6:07] 16 to 21. My house got flooded.
[6:11] Now, it was through the septic,
[6:14] the sewer line, okay? And I'll
[6:17] tell you why I know that. It's
[6:19] because when Wendell was
[6:22] working with the city, I had
[6:23] him put me in a cut-off valve
[6:24] out by my water because when we
[6:27] weren't here, there was a
[6:27] couple instances like where my
[6:28] water lines in the yard would
[6:30] burst or something. So, it's
[6:32] sort of the precautionary
[6:33] thing. So, if there's any
[6:36] problem with water whatsoever,
[6:37] generally, that's my first move
[6:39] is to shut water off because
[6:41] the water that was coming my in
[6:43] my hat, not in my house, in my
[6:44] tub, in my toilet, was clear. I
[6:48] mean, that was just just just
[6:50] pure water. Now, the little bit
[6:53] of debris that come through the
[6:54] toilet was small to none.
[6:57] There's only two of us in our
[6:58] home. So, it's not like six
[7:00] kids, you know, they come up
[7:01] with a bath, a whole bunch
[7:02] anyway. So, That was on
[7:06] weekend. I called the city and
[7:08] I called the police station.
[7:10] And I guess they had a a worker
[7:13] on call and he came down there
[7:14] and I guess what he was looking
[7:15] for was the clothes bout on the
[7:19] sewer line which he couldn't
[7:21] find. Which why it wind up
[7:24] being under my house because
[7:25] all my pipes and everything are
[7:28] up under the house. They're
[7:30] under the ground. Okay. Okay.
[7:32] So that's the first problem I
[7:33] had. Um Of course, man, shirts
[7:37] covered it and everything. The
[7:41] nonchalant about it was rather
[7:43] irritating because I was told
[7:45] to put in a a clean out valve.
[7:50] Which was like 400. I mean in the city acted like that
[7:54] just wasn't no bigger deal. You
[7:56] know but 400 bucks is a lot of
[7:57] money. But what I did do the
[8:00] city worked my pipes all the
[8:02] way up. To my porch. Let's try
[8:05] to make this. I'm trying to get
[8:07] y'all follow me here. Yeah. Uh
[8:08] huh. Okay. Clean it. Nothing
[8:09] come out. There's nothing in my
[8:10] sewer line. Period. Called the
[8:14] plumber. Three days later, he
[8:15] came put a hole in the line in
[8:19] front of the house So, he had
[8:23] access to go under the porch
[8:25] and then that was where the
[8:27] city was able to get to at that
[8:28] point and there was nothing
[8:30] there and he was able to go
[8:32] toward a street and then with
[8:36] some debris in there, not a
[8:37] whole lot but some debris. I
[8:38] made a picture of it and I
[8:40] think you see these pictures as
[8:41] we get a better idea of what
[8:43] I'm talking about. Okay, my
[8:44] second problem. Um on Pine
[8:48] Avenue, if you have a good
[8:49] avenue, look. If you're coming
[8:51] from Morgan and you look on the
[8:54] left, there's a huge ditch and
[8:57] it's all the way down the left
[8:59] side. It starts pass my house.
[9:01] Uh huh. It doesn't drain. It
[9:04] sits. It's dormant. It's nasty.
[9:07] It didn't go anywhere. Okay.
[9:10] So, when it rains. Now, I'm not
[9:13] saying this is all. When it
[9:15] rains, my road a lot and it
[9:19] continues for three, four days
[9:20] with the runoff because that's
[9:22] nowhere to go, okay? And in the
[9:25] city and I'm thankful for them
[9:27] doing this. They don't get you
[9:27] wrong here. but they had put in
[9:31] a curb in the right there on
[9:34] the corner of Morgan and Pine
[9:36] Avenue and and I think what
[9:39] they did and I just said it is
[9:40] they did not put it at a
[9:43] decline. So, it holds water. I
[9:46] mean, holds water and holds
[9:49] water all the way up to the top
[9:51] of the curb for days, okay?
[9:55] That's another. But now, the
[9:57] city didn't finally clean out
[9:58] the drain but It's filled up
[10:02] again. It's not going anywhere.
[10:03] So, there's some drainage
[10:05] somewhere there's a problem
[10:07] there and one other thing that
[10:09] we go back to real quick on my
[10:11] house getting flooded. I've talked to him several
[10:14] times. This is my idea. I may
[10:15] be wrong. I don't think so. But
[10:18] when you got Morgan Satsumer
[10:20] and Pine run together with the
[10:23] manholes? Okay. Uh water,
[10:27] that's where the water flows.
[10:28] You know, the water, the drain
[10:30] water, and the sewage and all
[10:31] that stuff, right? Well, if
[10:33] there's enough pressure for it
[10:36] to push it up into Pine Avenue.
[10:40] It has nowhere to go because
[10:42] the manholes have been shut
[10:44] off. So, if that water comes up
[10:46] Pine Avenue, which I live on
[10:47] the corner. The water coming
[10:51] into my home had to be watered
[10:53] that had nowhere else to go
[10:54] because the pressure was
[10:56] enormous. I mean, my tub filled
[10:57] up. It was like this, just that
[10:59] fast and the toilet, about to
[11:02] the peak of running over and
[11:04] then it would go down and I was
[11:07] like, oh my gosh and I couldn't
[11:10] find out what's going on in my
[11:11] other bathroom and it was
[11:12] coming up in the shower, the
[11:13] toilet that flooded two
[11:15] bedrooms and two baths. You
[11:16] know, it's just a mess but let
[11:18] me put this Are we, are we good
[11:22] here so far? Very good. Yeah.
[11:23] Okay. My third issue is this
[11:25] happened in January of
[11:27] twenty-one. After about two
[11:31] months after this incident, I'm
[11:33] guessing because I didn't
[11:34] really I'm sort of thrown off.
[11:36] I got pictures of it but not
[11:37] when I actually started. But I
[11:40] got a crack in my front porch.
[11:42] It's been there for 60 years.
[11:45] Okay. And it continued to
[11:49] crack. And it got unleveled a
[11:52] little bit. My my way of
[11:55] thinking is this is the same
[11:58] area on the front of my house
[12:02] where the water is coming in.
[12:04] And the foliage there in that
[12:06] area between the front of my
[12:08] porch and walkway. It's thick
[12:11] and green. It's like it's just
[12:13] constantly getting some kind of
[12:15] a water flow. Okay? But this
[12:18] all happened after my after the
[12:20] house got flooded. Now, I know
[12:22] they want to say that it's an
[12:25] underground stream. All of a
[12:26] sudden, okay? Okay. I didn't
[12:30] realize the damage it was doing
[12:31] until it continued to pour
[12:32] under my house. Been under my
[12:34] house and it's wet. The ground
[12:37] is wet. It's been wet. I'm
[12:38] asking to go in there and look
[12:40] at it that it's wet. I was told
[12:41] they don't do in their houses.
[12:43] That's okay. So, the water
[12:44] proceeds to pop up. Got a
[12:48] carport and when a plumber come
[12:50] down, there was like spots on
[12:52] the concrete. And I asked him
[12:54] about us. I can't figure out
[12:56] where it's coming from because
[12:57] my car is not leaking. You
[12:59] know, I'm happy. Well, it's
[13:01] water. So, this water is them
[13:04] up under my carport and now,
[13:07] it's massive and now, it is
[13:10] actually bleeding through the
[13:11] concrete. And I don't think a
[13:14] small stream that may run when
[13:16] it rains a little bit is
[13:18] going to do that kind of damage
[13:19] and then, that's also going out
[13:21] and into my backyard under to
[13:23] the, I got, I got a room over
[13:25] the carport and you'll see
[13:27] pictures of that. I'm I'm
[13:28] trying to mark em well enough
[13:30] that you could see what I'm
[13:31] talking about. Now
[13:37] But this Mister President,
[13:38] certified, and has for a
[13:40] response ASAP. Well, let me
[13:42] hear from you. So, I went down
[13:45] to the his office. I guess they
[13:48] were in a meeting and I guess
[13:49] the lady, not the front desk
[13:52] lady but the lady does the
[13:56] ordering. She went. She yeah.
[13:57] Sheila, yeah. Uh I didn't know
[13:58] her name is but anyway, she
[14:00] came out and got the
[14:01] information. Well, I waited. I
[14:02] waited. For him to call. He
[14:04] never called. So, I finally
[14:05] went to the city and asked one
[14:09] of the ladies there to name the
[14:10] ladies because I never choose
[14:11] at the back and she gives it to
[14:14] me her first and bless her
[14:15] heart. She says, am I going to
[14:17] get, she going to get in
[14:18] trouble for this? I said, my
[14:19] gosh, you're in control. I just
[14:20] was going to confirm that he
[14:22] got the message. Well, a day or
[14:25] so later, my hair's funny and
[14:26] mister Braslin, I'm sorry but
[14:29] it just seems like I have to
[14:30] move heaven or if you get a
[14:31] response. Now, you were
[14:34] supposed to come and meet up
[14:35] with me.
[14:39] Straig
[14:39] ht. I think it was
[14:41] Tuesday Monday, or Tuesday? No,
[14:44] it wasn't Monday, Wednesday. I
[14:46] don't think it's Tuesday. I
[14:47] can't visit a few days there.
[14:48] But anyway, he shows up
[14:50] unannounced with a guy from
[14:53] Dewberry Engineering which I
[14:55] guess works for the city and
[14:58] Scott, James Scott, Joe Scott.
[15:03] And that's another thing they
[15:04] won't give you the employee's
[15:05] last name since it's it's
[15:08] unsecure. I'm not trying to
[15:11] make a joke. But anyway, and
[15:12] then we go through the
[15:14] conversation. Well, mister
[15:15] president told me on front. He
[15:17] says, this is strictly a
[15:20] meeting about the drainwater
[15:22] off the road. You know, I want,
[15:27] y'all want to, if he, listen,
[15:28] if he's the engineer and he's
[15:30] going to be doing this new work
[15:32] coming in, I won't even know
[15:33] what the problem is because I truly think that it
[15:37] needs to be researched and and
[15:40] tell me that there's not a hole
[15:42] somewhere in there because I'm
[15:44] continuing to have these
[15:45] damages and I'm really afraid
[15:47] that my house bench. I I called
[15:50] what do you call? It's the
[15:53] Okay, well, I've had two
[15:55] plumbers there of which I have
[15:59] already mentioned in there. Um
[16:00] a foundation expert to come in
[16:03] because I was starting to worry
[16:04] not that my house was tilted
[16:05] but I'm thinking, I don't want
[16:08] it to with this water going
[16:08] under it, okay? And then who
[16:12] else did I have? She's
[16:14] remembering himself said but anyway, I've made quite a
[16:17] bit of effort to try to get
[16:20] some kind of resolution here
[16:23] because I don't think, what is
[16:25] the word? I don't want to be, I
[16:28] don't want to fall under maybe
[16:31] if could be, okay? Because
[16:33] we're talking about my home. If
[16:36] this all happened, I was
[16:38] actually in the process of
[16:39] trying to get it on the market.
[16:41] Basically, getting ready to put
[16:42] on the market and but I mean,
[16:43] that's That's happens.
[16:46] Everything happens. You know
[16:47] what I'm saying? And I guess
[16:48] that's the gist of it when she
[16:49] want to ask me something but I
[16:50] have plenty of photos in here.
[16:52] Mister President, I'm not
[16:52] trying to be, I'm just trying
[16:54] to converse or to relate what
[16:57] has transpired, okay? Okay. And
[17:06] Let's see. We can't know
[17:09] nothing if you don't feel us.
[17:10] Yeah.
[17:16] I think that the the city
[17:18] workers that like the one that
[17:20] came on the weekend which he
[17:21] was probably on call but I
[17:24] think if if he could've given
[17:27] me a little bit more while I'm
[17:28] looking for or what we were
[17:29] looking for because he said
[17:30] we're just looking for water on
[17:32] the ground. You know Uh I
[17:34] wanted to call him my son which
[17:36] does heating and air and
[17:37] plumbing and and with my camera
[17:38] and he showed me and my
[17:41] neighbor come over and and and
[17:43] nothing come out. Release it.
[17:45] Nothing come out. Everything in
[17:45] dirty. Okay. Uh so important
[17:51] Now, I might focus that over
[17:54] here since the city cleaned up
[17:56] that ditch. Of course, it's
[17:58] filling back up I don't know
[18:00] who, it's like somebody
[18:02] deliberately just throwing gods
[18:03] of trash in there. I mean, it's
[18:05] pathetic. It's bottles and
[18:07] cans. It's drinks, bottles, and
[18:08] cans. In that one area, one
[18:09] particular area. I've already
[18:11] cleaned it once and now it's
[18:12] like a huge amount again.
[18:14] Things like they're doing in
[18:16] all over the city. Oh, are
[18:17] they? Okay, because I haven't
[18:18] seen that song. I mean, this is
[18:19] like. It is. Okay Well, I'm I
[18:22] hope you're right because I'm
[18:23] thinking, okay and I think So
[18:27] anyway, my reason for bringing
[18:29] which you was supposed to get
[18:31] with me earlier today, you and
[18:33] the man from Alison, I'll
[18:36] assume Joe and the guy from
[18:38] Newberry. That's him right now.
[18:40] No, we did. That's not the same
[18:41] guy, is it? Is it? Well, you
[18:42] look shorter. Yeah, But my
[18:47] understanding you guys were
[18:49] going to get with me for being
[18:52] That was not my impression.
[18:53] We're waiting on two plumbers
[18:55] reports from you. He is but.
[18:57] Yeah, one second. Well, that
[18:58] was what I was going to bring
[18:59] to our meeting but anyway, that
[19:02] is in that package. I think
[19:06] it's like going to get you
[19:07] guys. Don't have that back. You
[19:08] got it. You got it. I'm going
[19:10] to get that. Now, is there
[19:13] anything I said that you think
[19:16] that one has transpired? I
[19:19] mean, just generally, our
[19:20] conversation. That's all. To
[19:22] the board, I I did go through
[19:26] the side with mister Pressel
[19:27] and try to gather as much
[19:29] information as possible of
[19:31] those situations, the sewer and
[19:34] the water issue. And to answer
[19:36] your question, miss Lois, know
[19:38] that you didn't say anything
[19:39] any different right now that
[19:42] you did.
[19:46] I can't say. Your phone.
[19:54] Okay, this is.
[20:01] And this one here is the second
[20:03] amendment. When she gets
[20:04] finished, I want her to hear
[20:05] that I don't want to be
[20:12] and brought me to address the
[20:14] board. Uh let's see if they
[20:16] have any questions, Jennifer.
[20:16] Uh I have a question. His
[20:18] statement. kind of. Lois, Lois
[20:22] and I had talked several times
[20:23] about this and and she, I think
[20:26] that she's done her due
[20:27] diligence trying to to do what
[20:28] she could do. She put in a
[20:30] drain in the front yard to help
[20:31] the water coming off the road
[20:32] to divert it around the house
[20:34] and all that but Robert, what
[20:36] does the sewer come from her
[20:37] house? Is it go to Morgan? Does
[20:39] it go to pine? She is the first
[20:41] hook up. She's the highest
[20:43] hookup on the Morgan drainage
[20:44] system. She's so she was on
[20:46] pine which is down from her
[20:47] house but that's a dead-end
[20:48] run. Okay. She's on the bargain
[20:49] line. So, how do you know how
[20:51] far down the Pine Run goes as
[20:54] it go in front of her house?
[20:55] No, it's back up but probably
[20:57] 100 feet. Okay, but the water,
[21:01] the her water valve is on the
[21:03] Pine Street side, Pine Avenue
[21:05] side or is it on Morgan? Morgan
[21:07] side? Yeah. you talking about
[21:09] two different things. Yeah.
[21:09] Right. No. Well, she was
[21:13] talking about water
[21:14] infiltration but if the sewer's
[21:16] on the Morgan side, it would
[21:17] run down. I would think it
[21:19] would run better. Gravity
[21:20] system going towards Morgan.
[21:21] She put a clean out right in
[21:23] front of her porch if you're
[21:24] familiar with it. Uh huh.
[21:25] Porch. So, her line is right
[21:27] there. That's where she put a
[21:28] clean out. So, it comes in
[21:29] parallel to pine and it goes in
[21:31] underneath your front porch. Is
[21:32] that where your sewer goes in,
[21:33] Laura? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
[21:35] So, the tongue comes in and
[21:37] turns into different. They were
[21:38] able to, yeah. They were able
[21:38] to ride it up it out now. All
[21:41] the way up to the porch and
[21:42] then I had a plumber come in
[21:45] Two day, three days later and
[21:47] he went into the porch area and
[21:49] then went from there to the
[21:51] cities. John Stanford did one
[21:54] of them? Yes, he did. And who
[21:55] was the other, who was the
[21:56] other one? Uh, Cooper of
[21:57] Bambridge. Okay. And part of
[22:01] that reason I was having a
[22:03] little blockage in my kitchen
[22:04] sink next to my husband,
[22:07] Louise. Anyway, so anyway, I
[22:09] had him go ahead and just
[22:10] thoroughly do the whole house
[22:11] because I've been on the
[22:11] market. I can say. Yeah.
[22:12] They're good to go that the
[22:14] water you keeps talking about
[22:16] that's in the ditch that keeps
[22:18] filling up. It's rainwater.
[22:21] But it don't
[22:22] drain off. The storm water
[22:23] drain. Yeah. So any so any
[22:25] water yes so any water that is not an option for it.
[22:31] That is not an option for both.
[22:34] the water. It all comes down
[22:36] inside of my house. I mean
[22:37] there's so many people can tell
[22:39] you but it doesn't just runs
[22:40] off. It's like open. It's like
[22:42] a river. Ash I was hoping to
[22:45] get one of those off. Here I go
[22:46] again. My stupidity. What's the
[22:48] thing you put in your computer?
[22:50] Ryan, you have some rolling
[22:51] back to There you go. There you go. I can't think
[22:55] about that. But I got a new
[22:56] phone and I haven't been able
[22:58] to find anybody. I don't have a
[22:59] computer. But I I got pictures.
[23:03] If that's something you're
[23:04] interested in, I'm going to go
[23:05] somewhere in in Battlewood and
[23:07] show you how the water just
[23:08] actually pours into my yard.
[23:11] And mister president. That's
[23:12] what you should get to him. He
[23:13] needs to do that sister. He,
[23:15] that'd be helpful for an
[23:16] engineer. But mister president,
[23:19] when she saw the Ascot border,
[23:21] he put in there. Yeah, mister
[23:22] president didn't do that for
[23:23] me. He went down there and put
[23:25] an asphalt border and it helped
[23:26] a lot. It didn't take care of
[23:28] the problem, all of it but it
[23:29] helped a lot of it a lot
[23:31] because my house actually under
[23:32] my house on the north wall,
[23:34] under the house, was that deep,
[23:37] were washed out. So, I go up
[23:42] there with bricks and stones
[23:45] and stuff and bust them up and
[23:47] pack em underneath it. You
[23:48] know, you'll see pictures and
[23:50] then covered it with dirt just
[23:52] as because I was, that's partly
[23:54] why I called somebody about
[23:55] foundation because I thought,
[23:57] oh my god, I want my whole wall
[23:59] became big because that caved
[24:00] in and half the house goes, you
[24:02] know, but anyway, I guess
[24:04] that's it. Oh, have any
[24:06] questions? Oh, if you have any
[24:07] questions about any of this
[24:08] stuff, it's not very organized
[24:12] and and there's a duplicates in
[24:14] there. This one, I got the
[24:14] putting it together Oh. So,
[24:17] it's quite a bit of stuff that
[24:19] we have. Okay. So, that's it.
[24:22] So, Matt, you're going to get,
[24:24] you're going to do a study and
[24:26] give us a report back or you
[24:27] have something you want to say
[24:29] to us? What? What I told miss
[24:31] Lewis that I would do is I
[24:34] would get with Joe to get any
[24:37] type of records that he had of
[24:40] the sewer system. Right. In
[24:42] that area and they provided
[24:44] that one to me and to provide
[24:48] me with what the invoices of
[24:51] whatever work was done by the
[24:53] plumbers to help me evaluate
[24:55] what took place with the sewer
[24:58] flood. Uh she had concerns of
[25:01] three different things.
[25:02] Stormwater, runoff, water,
[25:06] period, what concerning that
[25:08] possibly could be through the
[25:10] city's system leaking and then
[25:12] sewer. Uh leakage. So, what I
[25:16] plan to do is do an analysis of
[25:19] all three components and report
[25:22] back to the board of what my
[25:25] professional opinion is of
[25:27] what's going on out there. And
[25:30] miss Lewis, if you would like
[25:32] to I will give you a business
[25:36] card. I can get that flash
[25:37] drive from you and. Okay. Get
[25:39] those pictures and I can use
[25:40] that. Okay. Thank you. Thank
[25:46] you. Well, I don't I don't
[25:47] want to speak for for Misty. I
[25:48] love her but I think that if
[25:50] it's anything that has to be
[25:50] done on the city side that that
[25:53] we we need to be prepared to do
[25:54] what we need to do. If it's on
[25:56] the city side. Yeah. And and by
[25:59] we're we're I think Rob and I
[26:00] are in agreement on that
[26:02] because we talked about that
[26:03] but we just need to get some kind of resolve, something
[26:07] resolved here, something. I
[26:08] remember his times and kind of
[26:10] the sewer issue was eliminated.
[26:11] Mm hmm. Very quick. She, there
[26:13] was a blockage somewhere but we
[26:14] never or anything. So, where it
[26:17] was or how it was. Cuz you
[26:19] know, water backing up in a
[26:21] tub. I sued a lot had to be
[26:22] blind. Yeah, as long as you
[26:23] hadn't had anymore backup since
[26:25] January 21 in the tub? No.
[26:27] Good. That's good. We're not
[26:29] disputing. There was one but we
[26:30] just never could find one.
[26:31] Sure. On the seaside. But the
[26:34] so then I started addressing
[26:35] stormwater runoff and that's
[26:36] when the burn came in. Mm hmm.
[26:38] Number of other things out
[26:39] there because that's what I saw
[26:41] as an immediate relief that
[26:43] could, you know, store and the
[26:46] berm, I guess he helped. She
[26:48] said they helped for a while
[26:50] and then she contacted me
[26:50] again. So, I brought the
[26:51] engineer in front of me and to
[26:52] let them do. They, hopefully,
[26:55] they know more than I do. You
[26:56] know, I'm usually pretty good
[26:57] with the water but on this one,
[26:59] I just I don't see a source or
[27:01] a cause. Mm hmm. You know,
[27:02] something fixed. Yeah.
[27:09] You going to get back with her.
[27:12] husband. And Robert when you
[27:14] when y'all pulled, clean the
[27:16] ditches on Pine Avenue on the
[27:18] west side of Pine. Did that
[27:20] help with the water running off
[27:22] on the Morgan side? Did he is
[27:23] at the break of the hill, you
[27:24] know? Right. He was just north
[27:26] of her house. Yep. And that
[27:27] dish was designed, hasn't been
[27:29] changed, been that way for
[27:31] sixty, 70 years, I guess. But,
[27:32] you know, it drains back to the
[27:34] norm. Thank you. She is just on
[27:37] the brink of the hill. Okay.
[27:39] Southern side. Okay. So, they
[27:41] basically, it has no water
[27:43] drain too. Right. On her side.
[27:47] It doesn't. You know what I'm
[27:49] talking about. Mister Commons,
[27:52] she is. Yeah. And it's not even
[27:53] that far down, Georgia, Morgan.
[27:56] Yeah. So, what he's saying at
[27:57] the other end is called and
[28:00] that's blocked off but
[28:02] basically, you gotta ditch it
[28:03] but no use whatsoever. Yeah.
[28:05] For a long time.
[28:09] I don't know.
[28:14] You all cleaned it lately,
[28:15] Robert? I'm waiting on the
[28:17] engineer's report. I wanted him
[28:19] to see everything as he is. I
[28:19] don't want to change anything.
[28:21] Yeah, that's right. Okay. That
[28:23] makes sense.
[28:26] Thank you for letting us know.
[28:27] I appreciate it. Uh Mister
[28:29] Fresno. Whatever. We'll do
[28:32] whatever. If it's on our side,
[28:34] we'll have to do what we have.
[28:37] Alrigh
[28:38] t. That's all under the
[28:42] awards foundation fee. I we
[28:46] need to prove the minutes from
[28:47] the last regular meeting. I
[28:50] moved away approved amendments
[28:51] from the Tuesday, January 3rd
[28:53] meeting. In proper motion in
[28:58] second. Williams.
[29:09] Richardson? Yes. Yes, ma'am.
[29:13] Blast. Yeah. Was there any
[29:16] items for for discussion? Do we
[29:18] have any citizen's requests?
[29:23] Okay. Alright. I'm public
[29:28] hearing. Council members, we do
[29:32] have one. This is related to a
[29:34] grant application we're doing
[29:35] for a Scott small county
[29:38] outreach program grant for DOT
[29:40] and the road we have selected
[29:42] this year. You know, you get
[29:44] points for Connector Roads and
[29:46] supposed to actually relieve
[29:49] pressure from the state system
[29:50] and and what's the good how
[29:52] they started the grain anyway.
[29:53] So, you get extra points for
[29:55] connected roads. We staff and
[29:57] engineers at selected Martin
[29:59] Luther King. It's sizable at
[30:00] good length. It connects on
[30:01] both ends to major roadways.
[30:04] So, we think it's a good
[30:05] candidate project. We'll apply
[30:06] for that if Council so approved
[30:08] was required as a resolution
[30:10] from the council to go with our
[30:11] grants packet So, if if what does the scope of work
[30:17] included if we get this I'm
[30:21] like, I'm okay. Yeah. Maybe
[30:24] resurfacing the right way. I've been out there and looked
[30:28] at and already started putting
[30:29] some numbers together and
[30:30] everything. Um one item that I
[30:34] will be doing is asking for
[30:36] some guardrail here every along
[30:39] the box cover to say right now.
[30:42] It's just real close to the
[30:44] roadway. Uh specification does
[30:47] not require them because of
[30:49] speed limit but just for a
[30:50] safety thing. I'm going to add
[30:52] that in there as well. So, it'd
[30:54] be just about two inches of
[30:56] asphalt for milling it down to
[30:58] the level for the hanging out
[31:01] potentials, asphalt, new paint,
[31:01] new signs. All the way down
[31:04] Martin Luther King. From the
[31:05] MLK to Main Street. Okay and
[31:08] we're looking at with fees of
[31:12] design, CEI, agency. You're
[31:15] looking at about five hundred
[31:16] and thirty 40000 It's a good
[31:19] job for the city. Yeah. When
[31:20] you get it. And there, no, you,
[31:22] no utilities will have to be
[31:24] moved to complete that. That's
[31:26] right, sir. And there's no
[31:28] drainage or standing water
[31:30] issues on that road. It's
[31:32] elevated enough to. There's
[31:34] actually curb and gutter on a
[31:35] lot of it and is also a paid
[31:40] gutter along the edge. So, it
[31:41] conveys all the, it's open
[31:43] drainage system. Yeah. And it's
[31:46] going to be, is it going to be
[31:47] a curved road? New curtain
[31:50] coat. Okay. And some that
[31:52] already exists. Oh, existing
[31:55] curtains. Okay. That sounds
[31:59] good. And if we do come across,
[32:01] there's a price going along,
[32:02] that'd be the time to address
[32:03] it as each worker. Mm hmm.
[32:05] Highway culverts, anything like
[32:06] that.
[32:09] But so wish we received the
[32:12] doctor's resolution number
[32:14] twenty twenty-three dash oh
[32:15] one. It's a resolution of the
[32:17] Board of City Council members
[32:18] of the City of Chattahoochee,
[32:19] Florida. Authorizing the mayor
[32:21] to apply for FDOT funding
[32:23] through the municipal Small
[32:24] County Outreach Program for
[32:27] resurfacing East Martin Luther
[32:28] King Junior Boulevard. Thank
[32:29] you.
[32:36] Resolution by number
[32:43] we just resolution by number
[32:47] I make a motion that without
[32:48] resolution 20 twenty-3 dash oh
[32:49] one.
[32:55] That the Martin Luther King
[32:56] resurfacing. Seventh. That's in
[32:58] popular motion executive? Yes.
[32:59] And authorized the mayor to
[33:01] sign on behalf of the
[33:07] 7. Williams? Yes. Richardson?
[33:16] Cameron? Yes, ma'am. Bless.
[33:17] Yes, ma'am.
[33:30] General business? General
[33:31] business? We just have one item
[33:32] on there and that is a
[33:33] contract. If you recall, we got
[33:34] appropriated $100, thousand
[33:34] dollars during the last
[33:35] legislative session to do some
[33:36] water system upgrades down at
[33:37] the plant. Um had to do with
[33:38] the automatic shut on and shut
[33:40] off. and equated. The power
[33:42] goes out. Someone has to come
[33:45] in and manually turn it on.
[33:46] That's what we apply for. We
[33:47] were granted. Anyway, we got
[33:50] quotes on that. It was un
[34:01] dollars because it would be
[34:02] less than that. Um and got
[34:03] quotes on it. It went back to
[34:04] the state. This is the company
[34:05] we want to do it with. They
[34:05] required us to go out for form
[34:06] obedience. The quote was 75,
[34:07] 000. So we went back to drawing
[34:08] board, went out to formal bids,
[34:11] received one bid. From the same
[34:12] person. Uh company of
[34:15] Tallahassee because they were
[34:15] in that business for $95, 9 00
[34:18] dollars. Wow. We'll ask you to
[34:20] prove it's only been we got on
[34:22] it and it's in the
[34:37] well-roomed guy at the Public
[34:38] Works Yard. The greatest
[34:39] problem because you know,
[34:39] there's some some
[34:40] administrative fees in there. I
[34:41] just gotta come out of that
[34:42] hundred and we were also
[34:42] going to buy the skate assist
[34:43] system. We had enough money
[34:44] with the price we received to
[34:45] do the skater system where our
[34:46] guys would basically get alerts
[34:47] on their cellphone, any issues
[34:47] with the water system when they
[34:48] were at home. Um so, we won't
[34:50] be able to do that. So, if your
[34:53] word is being, we can get the
[34:55] project done. We may run a few
[34:57] dollars over but that's where
[34:57] we are. Okay, this this will
[35:02] help eliminate the problem of
[35:03] the waters being cut off town
[35:05] wide like we had. Yeah. Three
[35:06] weeks ago. The control room
[35:08] down there. Yup. Not at the
[35:10] well side but down at the
[35:11] public works. Well, treatment
[35:12] and we're going this year for
[35:13] an all-new chlorination system.
[35:15] This is all of your electronics
[35:16] in that room. Have to do with
[35:19] all the automatic shut on and
[35:21] shut off, bypassing, you know,
[35:23] stuff in there, you know, 60
[35:25] years old. Mm hmm. Some of we
[35:27] can't get parts for a lot of
[35:29] it. Like I said, the guy's been
[35:30] manually doing it for quite
[35:31] some time and that's not the
[35:34] way to run a water system. So,
[35:35] that's why we apply for it.
[35:36] Yup. This will fully automate
[35:38] that room back like it should
[35:39] be with new equipment. The
[35:40] electronic part of it. Hmm.
[35:42] We're going this year for
[35:44] automatic chlorinator, the
[35:45] automatic, computerized,
[35:46] chlorination system and so
[35:48] we'll be safe. If we get the
[35:49] appropriation this year, we've
[35:50] already applied for would be
[35:52] state of the art. That's
[35:53] correct. Be where we should be.
[35:54] Let's go
[36:04] $25, Donna did we got so. And
[36:10] so Sam is asking the council if
[36:11] you so choose to award the bid
[36:12] for ninety-five 900 to
[36:14] Universal Electric of
[36:16] Tallahassee Incorporated.
[36:20] 95 even? 95000. 9 00. 9 00.
[36:25] Ninety5, 900. Nine point nine.
[36:29] Universal.
[36:33] electric of
[36:35] Tallahassee Incorporated and
[36:36] they are located on Kilowwat
[36:38] Road.
[36:45] Okay. That's the only bid we
[36:48] got. Yes, sir. Nobody's
[36:51] going to work no more. Okay,
[36:53] that's the answer. Anything.
[36:55] Nothing
[37:04] Of course, it was their money.
[37:06] I mean, it was. Yeah, yeah. But
[37:08] they they just spent $20, 000.
[37:12] Her son John. Her son John. Wow
[37:20] Well, I would, I would move
[37:21] that we would award the bid
[37:22] system to bid award to the
[37:24] Universal Electric of
[37:25] Tallahassee Inc for the
[37:27] upgrades to the water switching
[37:28] system. Second. To properly
[37:33] mention one second. Now, for
[37:35] the bug, please. Williams? Yes.
[37:38] Richardson? Yes. Yes, ma'am.
[37:41] Plus, yes, ma'am. City manager?
[37:46] Alright, bear with me. I do
[37:48] have proper eyes this evening.
[37:50] One is, remember when we talked
[37:52] earlier about the use of the
[37:53] what was currently the Boys and
[37:55] Girls Club Build Library. Mm
[37:56] hmm.
[38:00] Council seemed willing to use
[38:02] that as a senior center.
[38:03] Correct. Well, we got the
[38:04] official request out from the
[38:06] county. So, that is moving
[38:07] along It will be happening
[38:10] unless you all have any other
[38:12] questions but got the letter
[38:13] from the county manager
[38:16] requested that. So, we'll be
[38:16] moving forward with that. Will
[38:17] they be helping to get it up to
[38:20] par the county? They're
[38:22] going to help. They're going to
[38:23] give more than they got already
[38:24] given. Forgiveness. Yes. Yeah.
[38:32] For a while.
[38:37] Second thing we have another
[38:40] request here. We have one I
[38:40] guess at the last meeting a
[38:42] while before but this is Sam
[38:44] Palmer who's president of the
[38:46] Gass County N double A CP
[38:49] requesting you know they're
[38:50] having their annual banquet and
[38:53] requested that the city put on
[38:54] participate to get a tag or you
[38:57] get individual tickets want to
[38:59] get some guidance from the
[39:00] council with the interest might
[39:02] be. What do you say? Banquet.
[39:08] April 29th. Hm. 6 PM.
[39:16] Table is $320 and the ticket
[39:19] individual is $40 per person.
[39:20] They have a dinner and it's
[39:24] kind of dressed up. It's a
[39:26] banquet. You know, speakers and
[39:28] all but you said they they do
[39:29] serve a dinner. Just let me
[39:32] know. Anyone's interested? How
[39:37] much is it he requested? Well,
[39:40] he sent the tickets and then,
[39:41] of course, the table, you can
[39:43] get a table for eight for $320
[39:45] and that's what they usually
[39:47] try to get people to do. Is it
[39:49] like a table? That way, you sit
[39:51] in as a groom or with your
[39:52] friends or family but you also,
[39:54] you know, individual tickets in
[39:56] case. One to go another way and
[39:58] just help people want to get
[39:59] it. Then, you would sit at
[40:01] tables with other people. And
[40:03] for the table is how much?
[40:04] Three point. Three20. And then
[40:08] forty. And that's going to be
[40:10] where is that going to be?
[40:11] Where's the banquet going to
[40:12] be? Oh this year said the judge
[40:13] judgement. Okay.
[40:36] Code enforcement, had a meeting
[40:38] with the chief, and you know,
[40:40] when we first started this, it
[40:42] got with the magistrate on,
[40:43] Peter Sirius, we Fred actually
[40:47] was doing the, the leg work,
[40:49] the enforcement work because it
[40:51] gets pretty rough out there on
[40:52] the ground. And then Cindy was
[40:57] doing it in my office, and when
[40:59] she was already doing the
[41:00] paperwork part of it, being all
[41:03] the stuff that magistrate, the
[41:04] Titans, and all the registered
[41:05] letters you have to, and all.
[41:06] But anyway, we met and we're
[41:09] going to be going back with the
[41:10] police department doing the
[41:12] actual first visit identified
[41:15] and taking the pictures and
[41:16] knocking on the doors and that
[41:19] we'll have more success with
[41:19] that. Some of the folks because
[41:22] you know, they're officers and
[41:23] like I told Chief, you got a
[41:25] gun. You know, a lot of people
[41:31] don't want folks around and you
[41:33] know, looking at their stuff or
[41:34] talking about their stuff and
[41:35] but we have ordinances that
[41:37] we're charged with enforcing
[41:39] and it's not always easy and
[41:40] but that's a moving forward,
[41:42] the police department will be
[41:43] doing the enforcement part of
[41:44] it. All the paperwork and the
[41:46] magistrate and all will still
[41:47] be here in this room with my
[41:50] staff doing that part. So, I
[41:51] think we'll see some
[41:52] improvement on getting some
[41:54] other done. But all that, I
[41:56] know you all seen some of these
[41:57] houses but you know, we have
[41:58] nine houses right now. We need
[42:00] a new construction or rehab. Mm
[42:01] hmm. So, they small baby steps
[42:05] but we didn't get here
[42:06] overnight either. Yeah, I went
[42:07] to work one day and come back.
[42:09] The whole house was gone. What
[42:11] happened to the house? Dude,
[42:13] that Florida housing grant,
[42:14] right? So, that's good for the
[42:16] city. Oh, it's not right. Good
[42:18] god. And I think that I think
[42:20] they'll do a great job on that
[42:22] and getting the code
[42:23] enforcement a little more.
[42:24] aggressive on that.
[42:26] Uh Rory, let me ask. If we have
[42:28] a citizen that complains about
[42:30] property, do we need to refer
[42:33] them to you or to chief? To
[42:38] you. So, I've gotta go through
[42:39] you then y'all and you go next
[42:40] way. They'll get a list around
[42:44] week or the route and they
[42:45] want to come get it. Probably
[42:46] be like weekly for the officers
[42:49] and. Okay. They'll do the
[42:50] initial visit. All they'll have
[42:52] to do is make contact, get the
[42:54] pictures on the initial thing.
[42:56] Then, we'll send the the two
[42:57] required letters and after
[42:59] that, that's when your posted
[43:01] property, that's when they'll
[43:02] really come in handy when
[43:03] you're out there putting up
[43:04] signs and posting products set
[43:05] in a court date. That's
[43:07] integrally the toughest part of
[43:09] the process that you get to
[43:10] that point. And I mean good
[43:12] part. I mean, you know, people
[43:14] get upset about things like
[43:16] that. So, they get to work a
[43:17] lot better. We'll get some more
[43:18] cases going. I want to update
[43:20] you on that. Um the Florida
[43:23] Municipal Electric Association
[43:23] Conference. It's going to be a
[43:26] Saint Petersburg this year.
[43:27] It's going to be in the council
[43:29] instrument attendant. Please
[43:30] let Katie know. So, the
[43:33] registration just opened and
[43:34] make sure anybody wants to go.
[43:36] And when is it? Hotel that's
[43:38] where the conference is.
[43:43] First week of March.
[43:48] Okay. 10 more. The other day. I
[43:52] thought it was late. What are
[43:53] the dates? She's looking. Yeah,
[43:56] but anyway, anybody that's
[43:58] interested, we need to get you
[44:00] registered now. So, you'll be
[44:01] booked in the hotel where the
[44:03] conference is located, not have
[44:04] to travel.
[44:08] Nose. It's in July 18th. Yeah.
[44:11] That was something else in
[44:12] March. It's lied to. Which is
[44:16] the Florida Black Coffee. Oh,
[44:19] this is in March. This is in
[44:20] March
[44:26] downtown redevelopment project
[44:29] Any future questions, y'all can
[44:31] get on Matthew here. It's in
[44:32] the design stage now. So, Um
[44:37] the architect and his crew will
[44:39] be here again Friday on the
[44:40] Southside School Project.
[44:42] That's moving along the
[44:43] development of those plans.
[44:44] Okay. Specification but they're
[44:47] coming in with another crew.
[44:48] They've had the asbestos people
[44:49] here. They're bringing some
[44:52] demolition guy Friday. I want
[44:53] me to go down on Friday morning
[44:54] but they'll be here again. So,
[44:56] that project's moving along.
[45:01] Um if you haven't already
[45:01] heard, we were awarded part of
[45:04] the group, three CDs that were
[45:07] awarded one point8 84 million
[45:09] dollars for the internet,
[45:12] high-speed internet. Uh so,
[45:13] broadband grant, you know, they
[45:15] a lot of the Joe Biden money
[45:16] went into the broadband and
[45:19] went to the States and replied
[45:21] to the states. So, Charter
[45:25] Spectrum will be doing that.
[45:26] It's lot of miles a new line
[45:30] between you and Coretna. So,
[45:31] hopefully that it will help a
[45:33] lot of folks out with that and
[45:34] we were happy to be a part of
[45:36] that award. Who are the other
[45:37] two CDs? Uh Grant and I and
[45:41] Greensboro. Mm hmm. Good.
[45:46] What they did was I think, I
[45:50] mean, but everybody who's on
[45:52] the TDS Act, when you go east,
[45:53] I know there's different phone
[45:54] companies. I'm just assuming
[45:56] that because Greensboro, ****
[45:59] of. But we're part of it and 1.
[46:02] 8 million also can't hurt. Talk
[46:06] about the house and program and
[46:09] did that and y'all let me know.
[46:12] Let Kay know please if you
[46:14] should attend the conference
[46:15] and let me know about the end
[46:16] of this banquet. Tickets or
[46:18] table. And we Florida Road
[46:22] Water. Can I just touch on this
[46:25] tonight? There's a lot of work
[46:26] left to do but we've talked
[46:27] about water before and We just
[46:30] finished our study on range
[46:32] structures and what it cost to
[46:34] maintain and properly maintain
[46:37] a system and everything and
[46:40] just embrace the city of
[46:41] Chatham, you you charge one
[46:42] dollar instead of a cent per
[46:44] thousand gallons of water.
[46:48] Period across the board no
[46:50] matter how much you give. The
[46:52] next closest one to you is $2
[46:55] and 13 cent which is very
[46:57] young. Everybody else is higher
[46:59] two thirty-three, 229, 249, and
[47:02] then some of them go 225 for
[47:05] the first thousand to 287 for
[47:07] the next time. It's ninetyfive.
[47:10] So, you know, we knew we were
[47:12] alive. We liked being in love
[47:13] but we also had to be
[47:14] responsible and so at some
[47:16] point, we're going to we're
[47:18] going to have to to talk about
[47:19] this but we're going to do a
[47:20] lot more research and get some
[47:21] more numbers for you. Ours is
[47:23] at what? 180. $1 dollarand
[47:25] seven cent. Oh. With 100 plus
[47:28] tax Although the next closest
[47:31] one to you is over twice that.
[47:37] Which we knew that we were just
[47:39] trying to break even on the
[47:40] water system. There was not a money maker for us. Uh
[47:42] huh. What is Gretna?
[47:50] I'll have granola in here.
[47:56] God's got that. I'd like to say
[47:58] this was a water plant? Yeah.
[48:05] Some didn't respond but some
[48:07] would respond. Okay. Yeah. Cuz
[48:09] they have their own water
[48:25] be it so they just don't have
[48:27] to do like this and then make a
[48:29] big jump at one time. These
[48:30] water rates again, you probably
[48:32] remember the last time the
[48:33] water rates were adjusted. But
[48:36] you know, sometime four last
[48:37] week, it was a long time ago.
[48:39] And that, you know, we gotta do
[48:41] a lot more research, a lot more
[48:42] numbers, but because to operate
[48:44] your system, what the
[48:44] maintenance is, you know, but
[48:46] things go up, insurance goes
[48:47] up. Okay, it will just go up
[48:48] labor, the the guys running
[48:51] system goes up here. Mm hmm.
[48:52] Yeah, I'm just trying to
[48:55] Marianna is a bigger city than
[48:56] us. I'm just trying to find
[48:58] something comparison. Yeah. Oh.
[48:59] To you. Need to measure it.
[49:01] Comparison eleven. Yeah,
[49:03] anesthesia is size wise and it
[49:05] goes wrong. They're 233 per
[49:07] gallon. Oh, dang. 2000. Yes.
[49:09] That's true. Sneeds. Mm hmm. Is
[49:12] there suicide? Small. They're
[49:15] one sixty-two. No. Hm. Nothing.
[49:17] Oh, 7 hundred and 148 gallons.
[49:21] So, that's over $2 for a 000
[49:23] gallons but they they do about
[49:25] 100 cubic feet which goes out
[49:28] to 748 pounds. They're there
[49:31] like 2: 30, 240 Uh
[49:34] Tallahassee's big. Taco's big.
[49:35] But they're two twenty-five.
[49:37] Chip is not big. They're $249
[49:38] for but you just don't want to
[49:41] be, you can't be in a situation
[49:44] of losing money on a utility
[49:46] operation or breaking even is
[49:48] not good. And so we want to
[49:51] adjust it sometime. Nothing you
[49:53] gotta do right now. I just
[49:54] want to pray it to you too.
[49:55] That's all I am. Glad to answer
[49:56] any question. Miss Peggy, you
[50:01] got any interest? One. Mary,
[50:05] did I miss Citizen's requesting
[50:08] to be heard? Yeah. Okay. Nobody
[50:11] request. I'm sitting right
[50:13] here. Um Miss Tony. I surely
[50:18] got anything for us. Uh yeah,
[50:20] just briefly. I I am walking
[50:22] with the Rosedale Water
[50:23] Association on some new water
[50:26] contracts. So, I'm hopeful.
[50:27] Have some agreements if I see
[50:32] some sticking points, I may put
[50:34] it as an agenda item
[50:59] approached by some citizens
[51:02] about the planet citizen input
[51:04] stage of the downtown planning
[51:07] The downtown revitalization,
[51:10] and the south side groups. It I
[51:14] am I correct and there is going
[51:15] to be a citizen input or a on
[51:18] all that. We talked about that
[51:20] last week but they need to get
[51:22] it. At least sight what we call
[51:24] 60% plans or something. Uh huh.
[51:26] So that you can have a table
[51:28] and a meeting but yes,
[51:30] absolutely. Okay. Okay. And
[51:32] Dewberry will be kind of
[51:34] heading that up. And Matt, we
[51:36] usually interpret a couple
[51:37] moves. Is that right? One or
[51:38] two or? Yes, maybe as. As many
[51:41] as we need. Okay. Mister
[51:43] Preston said, we we've got it.
[51:45] Get something together. We we
[51:47] just finished a survey. So,
[51:50] we're in a the very beginning
[51:51] of
[51:54] the basic things.
[51:59] Alright. Oh, Robert noticed
[52:02] that there was a couple of
[52:03] businesses uptown that look
[52:04] like they just about fixing
[52:05] about to be ready to open up.
[52:07] Can you talk to anything about
[52:08] that? Yeah, one will be opening
[52:10] up Friday, possibly Thursday
[52:12] between Twin Cities. Okay.
[52:14] We'll be open the Department of
[52:16] Business Professional
[52:17] Regulation. Um we're closed.
[52:21] That the open the weekend.
[52:26] The barbershop, not that I got
[52:27] a lot here anyway, but I'm, I
[52:29] just hope noone will get the
[52:30] barbershop. It's going to be
[52:33] beautiful. Yes, it is. It's
[52:35] going to be beautiful. Yes, it
[52:36] is. And and look, well, that'll
[52:38] be good. That'd be good. I have
[52:39] noticed that we've had quite a
[52:43] bit of activity down at the or
[52:47] B part. Yeah. You know and and
[52:49] that's good. Billy can you can I ask Billy? You got
[52:53] anything to say about that,
[52:54] Billy? Can you kind of give us
[52:55] a little set to about what's
[52:57] going on down there? Well, yes
[52:59] sir
[53:08] I've been there from day one
[53:11] We're doing great The first
[53:13] year was a little slow This
[53:16] year it's getting better with
[53:20] the cooperation of some of the
[53:23] folks Robert's helped me a lot.
[53:26] Some of the city boys ain't
[53:27] quite with us yet but it's
[53:29] getting better. If people love
[53:33] our campgrounds. They tell me
[53:36] everything, oh man, what a
[53:38] great place to stay. It's safe,
[53:41] it's clean, we keep it that
[53:44] way. We kind of check out
[53:47] folks. I mean, we're not being
[53:49] discriminative but anyway But
[53:51] if you, if you're a legal
[53:54] citizen and you're you pay your
[53:57] way, then, you're welcome and
[54:00] we welcome everybody. Amen.
[54:03] When the city's helping us,
[54:04] it's a work in progress. We
[54:07] need picnic tables. For some of
[54:10] the folks. Yeah. But. Um We're
[54:14] doing really well. Our
[54:15] laundromat is a coat of paint
[54:19] away from being open which will
[54:21] generate a little bit more
[54:22] money from the city. We've got
[54:24] a brand-new washroom. I mean, a
[54:27] brand-new dryer. We might need
[54:29] a little help with the washing
[54:30] machine. But it's all good. Uh
[54:36] Everybody loves the character.
[54:40] They they appreciate that. And
[54:41] I appreciate the help and
[54:44] cooperation. Robert, whenever I
[54:46] need some help, Robert, he
[54:49] deals with it. So, it's all and
[54:54] I would like to say one other
[54:56] thing, if I could as a private
[54:58] citizen every, I own half a
[55:02] cemetery street. Dewberry come
[55:05] in there and destroyed my
[55:06] parking lot.
[55:09] Newberry
[55:11] It may also causes a
[55:13] lot of problems in our
[55:15] campground by not doing what
[55:17] they said they were going to
[55:18] do. But they destroyed my
[55:20] parking lot which I assume the
[55:23] price to fix. I've got a
[55:25] waterhole where they told them
[55:26] not to park equipment. They did
[55:29] a lot of things. But I let it
[55:31] slide. But I just wanted to be
[55:34] known on record. I don't know
[55:37] if I'd have them build me a
[55:40] sidewalk. No, I didn't, I
[55:42] didn't know anything about
[55:43] that, Bill. That's it. I'm
[55:45] sorry. I'm sorry. That's all.
[55:47] Alright, I'll sit down.
[55:53] It's kind of lost what I was
[55:54] thinking about. Yeah. I can't
[55:56] think of the answer I saw.
[55:58] Okay. And Williams, I'm sorry.
[56:04] On Thursday, we will have
[56:06] Second Harvest but what about
[56:09] the road on Oak Street? Has
[56:12] that been taken care of that
[56:14] they can get in and out? No,
[56:16] ma'am will be coming in off of
[56:18] Morgan. Do the same as you did
[56:19] coming off the main so
[56:21] everybody will come off Morgan.
[56:23] We've posted it on Facebook and
[56:24] you and I had a conversation
[56:26] about the volunteers alert in
[56:29] the volunteers and know the
[56:31] cover pots down there. Uh had
[56:34] to be ordered. Pipe companies
[56:37] we were hoping to have it fixed
[56:38] but no, we put the word out
[56:39] best we can for this event. You
[56:41] have to come in off of Morgan
[56:42] Avenue. So, they're coming off
[56:44] Morgan, down, and then they're
[56:45] going to have to go back out
[56:47] that way. Mm hmm Um. The only
[56:52] other problem that I might I
[56:54] can see with that is we're
[56:55] going to need some assistance
[56:56] getting the truck in. Because
[56:59] the driver is not familiar with
[57:02] Chattahoochee and he was coming
[57:03] in on Oak Street. So can you or
[57:09] the city guides assistance with
[57:10] that? Do we have a contact
[57:12] information for you? I'll get
[57:14] it to you. Oh contact
[57:15] information. We'll contact you
[57:17] in helping any way we can. I'll
[57:19] get it to you tonight. That's
[57:21] this Thursday, right? Yes. Hm?
[57:23] It's this Thursday, the second.
[57:24] Yeah, this Thursday ninth. The
[57:27] ninth. Uh the truck tries to
[57:29] get here around nine o'clock in
[57:31] the morning so we can get
[57:31] everything set up to get
[57:34] started serving the public at
[57:36] ten. Yup and I can also have a
[57:40] trouble. When the guys meet
[57:42] out, if if he's going to come
[57:44] in that way. Yeah, he comes in.
[57:45] I'm mogging. I mean, on Oak
[57:47] Street, you know. We'll try to
[57:48] contact him and tell him. Okay.
[57:50] Difficulty at all. He could
[57:52] just follow a pickup. Are we
[57:52] going to have something up the
[57:54] top of the hill on the street?
[57:56] We're going to have to then,
[57:57] we're going to need some man.
[57:58] Yeah, everything's down to the
[58:00] pipe, don't we? Yeah, because I
[58:01] didn't even know Oak Street was
[58:02] closed. Well. And I live on.
[58:04] The corner. Corner. Texas. and
[58:06] from both ways to get home out.
[58:08] I mean, we couldn't we couldn't
[58:10] block the road. I know but we
[58:12] need somebody up there to slay
[58:13] that. I mean, going to Gregory
[58:16] and then back up that way and
[58:17] then come back down Pine
[58:18] because then you're going to
[58:19] have a goat radio because
[58:21] pine's going to be full and you
[58:22] can have oat coming down and
[58:24] those kids are going to get
[58:26] kicked off. Work yourself.
[58:27] Well, yeah, I know. People use
[58:29] common sense. We can come in
[58:31] one way and go out and throw
[58:33] pine or something like that.
[58:35] Yeah, but I'm just saying like
[58:36] when because everybody's used
[58:37] to coming off. Right. Right.
[58:38] Absolutely. Somebody at top of
[58:39] Maine and oh. Yeah. Some
[58:42] somebody that doesn't wreck the
[58:44] traffic. Okay. First half said,
[58:48] man, I would do it. Oh. As a
[58:51] business owner, if you do, here
[58:54] in me, two thirds of a city
[58:58] club, next to the church that
[58:59] has the farm share. Yes, sir.
[59:01] Y'all are more than welcome. If
[59:03] you need a nice, wide-open
[59:06] parking parking spot, do what
[59:09] you have to do to create You're
[59:12] more than welcome. I will give
[59:14] that to you and let you. It's a
[59:16] huge parking lot as big as what
[59:18] you've got in front of the
[59:19] community center. It's in front
[59:20] of the old Wallace Peacock.
[59:23] I've already cleaned it all
[59:24] off. But you are more than
[59:27] welcome. Corner. If you would
[59:28] like to. Hold on. To stage that
[59:32] there. I have no problem. That
[59:34] that'd be great. The farm
[59:37] shared the church right next to
[59:38] me. Yeah. They do a two week
[59:41] bill. But the other part, I've
[59:43] already cleaned it this week.
[59:46] And it'll be cleaner by next
[59:47] week. But there's a huge
[59:49] parking lot there. That if you
[59:53] would so desire, you're more
[59:55] than welcome to use it. Is what
[59:57] I'm telling you. Thank you for
[1:00:00] that one. You're most welcome.
[1:00:01] And I like to get shout out to
[1:00:05] all of the volunteers who have
[1:00:06] been so faithful in working
[1:00:08] with us with the Second Harvest
[1:00:11] especially our chief who comes
[1:00:13] and work diligently there with
[1:00:16] us and it's it's wonderful to
[1:00:19] have him there with us to be
[1:00:22] seen that we have no problems
[1:00:23] while we're there. Also, Second
[1:00:26] Harve will also be back in
[1:00:30] Chattahoochee on March the
[1:00:32] ninth So, miss Katie, if you
[1:00:35] will put that on there for us,
[1:00:36] I truly would appreciate it.
[1:00:43] And I like to thank each and
[1:00:44] everyone of you all for coming
[1:00:46] out to be with us tonight. I am
[1:00:49] hopes that we can get this
[1:00:50] water problem resolved very
[1:00:52] quickly as soon as possible.
[1:00:56] Thank the councilor for working
[1:00:58] together as well as they have.
[1:01:01] And that's all I have tonight.
[1:01:03] That was Richardson. Well, I'll
[1:01:07] be remiss if I didn't see if I
[1:01:11] principal of elementary had
[1:01:14] something to say. I'd like to
[1:01:16] speak thank you So, first of
[1:01:20] all, I want to thank the city
[1:01:22] for your continued partnership.
[1:01:23] You have been excellent to the
[1:01:25] school ever since. I took the
[1:01:27] reigns as principal last year.
[1:01:28] Um I wanted to just kind of
[1:01:30] give you an update on the
[1:01:31] things that are going on at the
[1:01:33] school. Some of the concerns
[1:01:33] that have been brought to my
[1:01:35] attention and I want to start
[1:01:38] with the enrollment. So, when I
[1:01:40] came here the first time and I
[1:01:42] think it was August of twenty
[1:01:43] twenty-two. No, 2021. I told
[1:01:47] you all that I projected
[1:01:49] enrollment with 90 students and
[1:01:51] as of today, we're at 148
[1:01:53] students. Good job
[1:01:58] We got some calls today. So,
[1:01:59] the enrollment is rising. Um
[1:02:02] miss Richards said, I want to
[1:02:03] thank you personally for
[1:02:04] calling me so frequently and
[1:02:05] just ask for updates and see if
[1:02:07] we need anything. Everything
[1:02:08] that you've done is very much
[1:02:10] appreciated. We're still using
[1:02:11] all of the things that you have
[1:02:12] given us and I just want to say
[1:02:13] thank you. Thank you so much to
[1:02:15] the entire council. Um also, I
[1:02:18] told you all that we've moved
[1:02:20] to a new testing model. It's
[1:02:21] called the fast testing. Not
[1:02:23] fun but I do want to tell if
[1:02:25] you see any of my first diet,
[1:02:27] just pat them on the back
[1:02:29] because we're in 100%
[1:02:30] proficient for reading in first
[1:02:31] grade. That's wonderful.
[1:02:33] They're doing awesome. And then
[1:02:38] our safety update. Thank you so
[1:02:39] much to the chief and the
[1:02:40] police department. They really
[1:02:42] helped us out this summer. He
[1:02:43] made his rounds to make sure
[1:02:45] that all the doors were locked
[1:02:47] and to give me updates and
[1:02:48] pointers on things that we
[1:02:49] could spruce up around the
[1:02:51] school. So, if you do decide to
[1:02:52] visit this year, we have
[1:02:53] installed a new doorbell
[1:02:54] system. So, you have to press
[1:02:56] the doorbell, the camera comes
[1:02:57] up. We can see all of the
[1:02:58] visitors from the inside of the
[1:03:00] school and the door doesn't
[1:03:00] open unless it's authorized by
[1:03:02] a person on the inside. Mm hmm.
[1:03:04] Um and I hope you all have seen
[1:03:06] my sign. It looks good. Yes.
[1:03:07] Updated along with our every
[1:03:11] month but just thank you, thank you for all of your
[1:03:14] partnership. Mister Moshe is
[1:03:15] not here tonight but he stops
[1:03:16] by frequently to help us with
[1:03:18] to incentivize behavior and
[1:03:21] participation with our other
[1:03:22] partners like the Art Museum
[1:03:24] and the Garden Club. It's
[1:03:24] really too much to talk about.
[1:03:26] We all have done it so much.
[1:03:27] So, I want to thank you on
[1:03:28] behalf of them. I think it's
[1:03:29] cool. Well, I have a question.
[1:03:30] I saw some boxes around the
[1:03:31] counter books. Y'all need
[1:03:33] donations of books like people
[1:03:35] because I have people to say,
[1:03:36] where can I take books? I mean.
[1:03:38] You definitely can. We can add
[1:03:39] those books to our classroom
[1:03:41] library. The donations for
[1:03:42] books are part of our
[1:03:43] Scholastic Book Fair So, the
[1:03:45] book fair gives us those little
[1:03:46] boxes and then, when the people
[1:03:48] donate money, I think they
[1:03:49] match it up to 50% or something
[1:03:51] and then our librarian is able
[1:03:52] to order new books from the
[1:03:54] librarian for them. If you have
[1:03:55] people who want to donate
[1:03:56] books, we're not turning
[1:03:57] anything down. Right. They can
[1:03:59] definitely bring. Okay. Oh
[1:04:00] yeah. Um but so that I didn't
[1:04:02] understand quite what the
[1:04:03] money's for. I mean, because I
[1:04:04] don't know if y'all needed some
[1:04:06] more books. For the book, yeah,
[1:04:08] because the book fair is not
[1:04:10] cheap. Nope. Anything. And then
[1:04:12] I also wanted to mention the
[1:04:14] maintenance of the ground. This
[1:04:15] looks so nice out there. So, if
[1:04:16] you ride that and you see it,
[1:04:18] make mister Gilcrease. Mister
[1:04:20] Praise Lord for all that the
[1:04:22] public works department is
[1:04:23] doing. They're so sweet. I like
[1:04:24] to feed them. here. Well, I
[1:04:25] want to tell you, I went to the
[1:04:28] Martin Luther King event. Mm
[1:04:30] hmm. And that school was
[1:04:31] probably one of the cleanest
[1:04:32] schools I've ever been in.
[1:04:34] Thank you. I mean, could you
[1:04:35] haven't done, it's top notch.
[1:04:37] Thank you. Operations team.
[1:04:39] Please do because it was very,
[1:04:42] it was thoughtless and I went
[1:04:42] to school there and I mean, you
[1:04:45] wouldn't know it was a the old
[1:04:46] as old as it is. It was very clean, very well
[1:04:49] maintained. Good Very good job.
[1:04:59] I have nothing. I got a few
[1:05:03] things. I will say that I'm a
[1:05:07] little saddened because we lost
[1:05:08] one of our police officers. He
[1:05:10] passed away at O'Brien. He was
[1:05:13] a police officer went out.
[1:05:14] Well, and he loved to tell on
[1:05:16] me all the time. When I was a
[1:05:18] teenager, then, he became
[1:05:20] chief. Then, he came back and
[1:05:23] then he came as police officer
[1:05:24] again and he will be missed in
[1:05:27] this community because it was a
[1:05:30] part of this community. He
[1:05:31] loved it. He came from New York
[1:05:32] and he loved this little city
[1:05:34] and so I just want to say that
[1:05:39] it's very it's saddening me to
[1:05:40] lose Fred. Um street signs.
[1:05:44] Robbie, remember one time we
[1:05:45] talked about was going to get
[1:05:46] those street signs? Why are we
[1:05:47] hiding that? Just replacing
[1:05:49] them when we buy one now. We do
[1:05:50] that. If if Is it a stand up
[1:05:54] counter? We're doing just a
[1:05:55] stand up. Okay. Some round but
[1:05:56] if you want to speed it up, you
[1:05:58] know, it'll be a large
[1:05:59] expenditure but what we're
[1:06:00] doing now is if we replace one,
[1:06:02] it's done with a up to code,
[1:06:04] green with a reflective tape
[1:06:05] tile. Okay, thanks. Um Oak
[1:06:09] Street. What's going? Yes.
[1:06:13] The streets sound alive. Morgan
[1:06:14] and and Pine. It's reversed.
[1:06:17] And I've seen several people go
[1:06:19] down Pine Edmond Church
[1:06:21] regularly. I've asked them to
[1:06:23] straighten it out. If they
[1:06:23] could just twist it around and
[1:06:25] get it straight. I'd be glad to
[1:06:27] put concrete on the base of it.
[1:06:30] But that's been since storm.
[1:06:32] But I have that's where I have
[1:06:33] seen people go down find out.
[1:06:34] So you're saying that time's
[1:06:36] going in more than reverse.
[1:06:38] It's quarterback. Yeah. Oh my
[1:06:40] gosh.
[1:06:48] I made a note out Oak Street.
[1:06:50] What happened on Oak Street? Um
[1:06:52] you know, there's pipes and
[1:06:54] washed out pretty much. We
[1:06:55] repaired them, tried to buy
[1:06:56] tile because you know, you have
[1:06:58] already been approved for.
[1:06:58] Well, that's why it's been. So,
[1:06:59] when is that grant going to
[1:07:00] come in that we can. Home the
[1:07:03] state to present an agreement
[1:07:05] with the state. Yeah, the next
[1:07:07] step, the agreement comes to
[1:07:08] y'all. So they don't give you
[1:07:09] at the timeline or. Cuz that
[1:07:12] road is bad. And then with it
[1:07:14] being where everybody votes and
[1:07:16] like we have second harvest in
[1:07:18] all. It's it's rough. But we
[1:07:19] tried to patch it and I guess
[1:07:21] we bought a year and a half or
[1:07:22] whatever but it it blew failed
[1:07:25] against Suck the Dirty and it's
[1:07:27] tedious place because you got
[1:07:29] gaslight. You got all these
[1:07:30] utilities there. So we're just
[1:07:31] going to get some corrugated
[1:07:32] pipes and put in there so it'll
[1:07:33] be safe. Yeah. Until such as we
[1:07:36] let the contract but there'll
[1:07:38] be new pipes again put in then
[1:07:40] because it had that the whole
[1:07:42] bridge section was part of that
[1:07:42] grant along with the guard
[1:07:44] rails and sides and everything.
[1:07:46] So, we've got some pipes coming
[1:07:48] and it will be safe until such
[1:07:50] time as but the contracts will
[1:07:52] come to you and then the bid
[1:07:53] award will come to you. Okay.
[1:07:55] Next question. Pocket parked up
[1:07:57] to get that grant.
[1:08:02] Well, we've been working on
[1:08:04] that diligently to the point I
[1:08:07] can't. I'm not allowed to talk
[1:08:08] to the state about that one
[1:08:09] anymore. Uh I threatened to
[1:08:10] just go do it. It is part of
[1:08:12] that grant. We were progressing
[1:08:14] along because you know, back,
[1:08:15] we're in the design phase of
[1:08:17] that. Right. I asked for, do
[1:08:19] the safety reasons to allow us
[1:08:21] to going to do that new sum of
[1:08:23] the money. Everything was going
[1:08:25] good until they found out that
[1:08:28] the downtown city should been
[1:08:30] designated historical area.
[1:08:33] Now, I guess it would take
[1:08:35] common research or Joe Biden or
[1:08:36] somebody to to get approval to
[1:08:40] remove that debris. I didn't
[1:08:41] want to. Well, Brad, what they
[1:08:43] want? The bricks? I mean,
[1:08:44] that's beautiful. Alright. Now,
[1:08:46] we're doing a study in our
[1:08:48] collab a big study. and
[1:08:51] environmental principle. It is
[1:08:52] it's it's really sad. And that
[1:08:56] builds a hazard. It's a very
[1:08:58] dangerous way. We we rode up a
[1:09:00] thing. I did announce. We
[1:09:01] brought an architect even to
[1:09:02] the site to give the state.
[1:09:04] Hey, this is gotta be done. We
[1:09:06] can't mess around two more
[1:09:07] years waiting on y'all. We just
[1:09:09] want to do this one little
[1:09:10] thing and Yeah, because there's
[1:09:12] exposed pipes that I mean if a
[1:09:14] child or a homeless person got
[1:09:15] in there, that's a very big,
[1:09:18] dangerous thing. First, they
[1:09:19] kind of said, okay, we'll give
[1:09:20] you this authorization to just
[1:09:21] clean it out, not to build it
[1:09:24] but clean it out. When they
[1:09:25] found out that it was
[1:09:25] designated historical, let us
[1:09:27] be it. So, if you do, so if.
[1:09:32] I'm going to do it. Well, no,
[1:09:33] if you do it, then it cancels
[1:09:34] the grant out. Is that what?
[1:09:36] No, they just won't reimburse
[1:09:37] what we spend on it. Oh. Okay.
[1:09:39] So, last question I ask if
[1:09:43] Ronald Preston pays for, we're
[1:09:44] not asking to rent the paper.
[1:09:45] What you what you going to do
[1:09:46] then? And I don't think they
[1:09:48] can do anything but they might.
[1:09:50] Yes, ma'am, miss Midland. Who
[1:09:52] did you speak with about that?
[1:09:54] Oh, you thought it was the
[1:09:56] consultants. I don't get to
[1:09:57] talk to him no more. No, no,
[1:09:58] because I personally. Oh, it's
[1:10:00] about, you know, when you talk
[1:10:01] to me, I talk about 12 people.
[1:10:02] Cuz every two weeks you call,
[1:10:04] you get a different employee.
[1:10:06] It's actually a requirement
[1:10:08] through the grant to do study.
[1:10:12] So, it wasn't like they found
[1:10:14] so, hey, you can't can't do
[1:10:16] this. You can't stop. It's a
[1:10:19] prerequisite to follow through
[1:10:21] the grant itself. Okay, because
[1:10:24] that reason I asked that is
[1:10:26] because all those houses that
[1:10:28] are being redone are also in
[1:10:31] the historical district. Mm
[1:10:32] hmm. All they had to do was
[1:10:34] they sent, they sent requests
[1:10:37] to the Main Street office. Ask
[1:10:38] could this be done, we sent
[1:10:41] back, yes, it can and that they don't, all that has gone
[1:10:45] forward. There's not been any
[1:10:47] problem. Courtney, Tracy, it
[1:10:49] was a lot more involved. Amen.
[1:10:51] Amen very well has to do
[1:10:54] with 250 lots of money. The
[1:10:55] money that's paid for this
[1:10:57] downtown. That must be. But it
[1:11:01] is still has to do with
[1:11:03] historical business. Was
[1:11:04] answering a question. It's not
[1:11:06] going to be too much longer. We
[1:11:08] may not be able to use grant
[1:11:09] funds to do it but it's not
[1:11:10] going to be too much longer.
[1:11:11] Getting it cleaned up. Now,
[1:11:15] fellas, we work with these
[1:11:16] other people trying to do
[1:11:17] things and look, that's it. You
[1:11:19] know, I mean, it's city
[1:11:20] property and that's why I say,
[1:11:21] how can we justify telling
[1:11:22] somebody clean up your stuff
[1:11:24] when ours is looking like some
[1:11:26] general? I mean, that's the way
[1:11:27] I felt too and that's why I
[1:11:29] asked because I know you kept
[1:11:30] saying I had to wait for the
[1:11:31] money because we couldn't do
[1:11:32] nothing because then it would
[1:11:32] affect the money and so. We
[1:11:34] were real close and then, it
[1:11:35] just kind of about three weeks
[1:11:37] ago or something, it went south
[1:11:40] because of the historical
[1:11:42] significance.
[1:11:46] Historical sight.
[1:11:51] historical building or it can
