[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.
