00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,729
about city manager's comments I think I

00:01:37,729 --> 00:01:40,210
said enough yesterday you good

14
00:01:40,210 --> 00:01:42,530
all right matters to be presented by the

15
00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:44,750
public non agenda items we got a couple

16
00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:54,730
of people Jack Johnson

17
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:56,900
my name's Jeff Johnson I live it - over

18
00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:59,540
on Sunrise Street man my neighbors were

19
00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:01,580
wanting to know how to get a new city

20
00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:03,800
ordinance or code on the books if

21
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,260
somebody could tell us how we'll do the

22
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:07,780
legwork and get it done

23
00:02:07,780 --> 00:02:11,240
let's need to do that and also the

24
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,160
neighborhood told me to make sure that

25
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,910
we said Chad Osman it's done a great job

26
00:02:16,910 --> 00:02:18,440
y'all need to support him and help him

27
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,320
in every way he is doing a good job I

28
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,030
agree with he certainly is do you want

29
00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:25,760
to address the coordinates sure I mean

30
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,400
really I think we talked about this

31
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,760
today I was out riding with you we

32
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,310
warned I need to know exactly what you

33
00:02:33,310 --> 00:02:35,900
proposed to change the ordinances and

34
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:37,820
then depending on what that change is it

35
00:02:37,820 --> 00:02:38,930
may have to go through the Planning

36
00:02:38,930 --> 00:02:42,500
Commission or through zoning as well so

37
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:44,209
we'll just have to take a look and see

38
00:02:44,209 --> 00:02:51,950
exactly what you want change forward

39
00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:55,040
again well I mean and there's also state

40
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,090
code that we have to follow through

41
00:02:56,090 --> 00:02:57,980
because there may be some something that

42
00:02:57,980 --> 00:02:59,660
you want to have in a force in effect

43
00:02:59,660 --> 00:03:00,890
that the state doesn't allow us to

44
00:03:00,890 --> 00:03:02,720
regulate so there are things that we

45
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,730
just have to look at as a whole to

46
00:03:04,730 --> 00:03:06,140
determine whether or not that would be

47
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:10,400
an appropriate ordinance I thought I've

48
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,730
gotta say tonight no but like I said the

49
00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:16,489
people owned the place cleaned up I'm

50
00:03:16,489 --> 00:03:18,260
like I said Chad is doing him good job

51
00:03:18,260 --> 00:03:20,209
it is

52
00:03:20,209 --> 00:03:22,670
I take Mike Martin I mean at the

53
00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:25,040
landfill saying you got a problem he's

54
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,730

55
00:03:25,730 --> 00:03:27,230
well he's doing a great job it's not

56
00:03:27,230 --> 00:03:29,060

57
00:03:29,060 --> 00:03:30,140

crisis the city of Bristol Virginia is

65
00:04:07,890 --> 00:04:13,410
in a financial crisis this crisis has

66
00:04:13,410 --> 00:04:16,320
been acknowledged and validated by the

67
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,000
state of Virginia by Moody's investment

68
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,340
in New York City who was prepared to

69
00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:28,350
demote us to junk bond status and also

70
00:04:28,350 --> 00:04:31,680
by the most prestigious oldest bonding

71
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,690

Virginia which is in Richmond and it's

the city's bonding company I have some

74
00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:43,140
figures here that were correct as of

75
00:04:43,140 --> 00:04:48,210
October the 4th 2019 they came from the

76
00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:51,150
chief financial officers office in

77
00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:54,630
Bristol Virginia number one the total

78
00:04:54,630 --> 00:05:00,120
bonded debt in the general fund is 72

79
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,940
million three hundred eight thousand two

80
00:05:02,940 --> 00:05:05,250
hundred and ten dollars that's the total

81
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:08,760
bonded debt in the general fund the

82
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,669
payoff is twenty forty three that's

83
00:05:11,669 --> 00:05:15,450
twenty four years from from now the

84
00:05:15,450 --> 00:05:19,890
solid waste disposal fund is thirty four

85
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:22,740
million four hundred sixty one thousand

86
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:26,070
seven hundred ninety dollars the payoff

87
00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:29,640
is twenty forty three when you add those

88
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,040
two figures together as of October four

89
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,980
2019 the bonded debt of the city of

90
00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:43,620
Bristol Virginia is 106 million seven

91
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:47,400
hundred seventy thousand dollars now

92
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,890
there are other items that can enter

93
00:05:49,890 --> 00:05:52,290
into that figure but that's the two

94
00:05:52,290 --> 00:05:55,590
biggest figures that we have now this

95
00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:58,590
means gentlemen if we do not borrow

96
00:05:58,590 --> 00:06:00,630
anything not one

97
00:06:00,630 --> 00:06:06,680
any from October 4 for the next 24 years

98
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,110
we owe a hundred and six million dollars

99
00:06:10,110 --> 00:06:12,180
that has to be paid back during that

100
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:19,540
time that is not very comforting to me

101
00:06:19,550 --> 00:06:24,570
we are in a crisis and we must stay the

102
00:06:24,570 --> 00:06:27,690
course now the previous council set up a

103
00:06:27,690 --> 00:06:30,810
very very good course well thought

104
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:34,740
through intelligent depth it was good

105
00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:37,530
your responsibility is to be the

106
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:41,400
stewards of what they set up the reason

107
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,400
we have gotten one step forward no more

108
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,080
than that mayor please to you no more

109
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,640
than that is because the previous

110
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,400
council put a property tax that we all

111
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,520
hated I'm included in that but it was

112
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,910
that property tax that saved the day

113
00:07:02,910 --> 00:07:07,740
with Moody's and the state of Virginia issued a report

114
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:11,100
very recently saying that we are doing

115
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:12,990
better they didn't say we were doing

116
00:07:12,990 --> 00:07:15,000
well or we're over the hump they just

117
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,260
said we're doing a little bit better

118
00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:21,540
that's all no more now crisis spending

119
00:07:21,540 --> 00:07:24,860
is what we are gonna have to deal with

120
00:07:24,860 --> 00:07:29,040
the jail in the the fire hall down there

121
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,190
has serious structural problems that is

122
00:07:32,190 --> 00:07:36,360
a crisis the jail itself is a crisis a

123
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,840
new school is not a crisis it is a won't

124
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:48,420
it is a want it is not a crisis that can

125
00:07:48,420 --> 00:07:51,180
come at another time the council was

126
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,790
very generous with the school board they

127
00:07:53,790 --> 00:07:56,130
gave money for raises for the teachers

128
00:07:56,130 --> 00:07:58,830
and rightfully so and then came back

129
00:07:58,830 --> 00:08:00,540
with another two hundred thousand

130
00:08:00,540 --> 00:08:05,130
dollars they were very generous but that

131
00:08:05,130 --> 00:08:08,240
new school is not a crisis situation

132
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,210
period one word will solve it no come

133
00:08:12,210 --> 00:08:13,529
back next year in the

134
00:08:13,529 --> 00:08:15,629
session we'll see what happens then

135
00:08:15,629 --> 00:08:18,949
we're in a state of flux

136
00:08:18,949 --> 00:08:22,199

00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,749

the greater part of the 20th century and

373
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,420
we're as good pastor Motor Company start

374
00:18:01,420 --> 00:18:04,390
a business truck transportation was just

375
00:18:04,390 --> 00:18:06,280
getting established paved roads with the

376
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,500
exception it was not until 1926 that a

377
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:10,870
fully-loaded two-ton truck was driven

378
00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:12,750
from New York to San Francisco and

379
00:18:12,750 --> 00:18:15,370
Goodpasture had been in business meeting

380
00:18:15,370 --> 00:18:16,750
the transportation needs of the area for

381
00:18:16,750 --> 00:18:18,880
many years already and whereas the

382
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,650
owners of Goodpasture Motor Company past

383
00:18:20,650 --> 00:18:22,960
and present have been deeply involved

384
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,730

hundred years in operation anywhere

402
00:19:05,290 --> 00:19:07,410

[Applause]

416
00:20:18,250 --> 00:20:20,690
I'd like to thank the city of Bristol

417
00:20:20,690 --> 00:20:26,360
for this Proclamation and I'd have to

418
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,330
say that it's rare for a company to be

419
00:20:29,330 --> 00:20:33,410
this old in this town or this country

420
00:20:33,410 --> 00:20:35,240
particularly when it's in the same

421
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:40,150
family but we stand on the shoulders of

422
00:20:40,150 --> 00:20:43,490
the founder Frank goodpasture's senior

423
00:20:43,490 --> 00:20:47,240
and Frank at Pasteur jr. and Archie's

424

00:20:48,530 --> 00:20:53,170
Archie Hubbard jr. plus a legion of

426
00:20:53,170 --> 00:20:58,970
dedicated employees over the years of

427
00:20:58,970 --> 00:21:02,350
course the customers pay our bills and

428
00:21:02,350 --> 00:21:05,540
since our founding in August of 1919

429
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:07,520
customers have been recognized as the

430
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,600
lifeblood of our business our commitment

431
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,630
is to deal honestly treat people with

432
00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:17,270
respect and bring value to the

433
00:21:17,270 --> 00:21:20,930
transaction our law in corporate life is

434
00:21:20,930 --> 00:21:29,810
testimony to that commitment thank you

435
00:21:29,820 --> 00:21:32,799
alright item 3 is a presentation from

436
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:35,679
the mount Rogers Health District I don't

437
00:21:35,679 --> 00:21:46,340
believe it's dr. shell alright

438
00:21:46,350 --> 00:22:03,280
thank you

439
00:22:03,290 --> 00:22:06,080
mayor council mysteries thank you all

440
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,780
for having us this evening we wanted to

441
00:22:08,780 --> 00:22:11,030
bring some education to the city about

442
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:13,070
the problems of substance abuse that are

443
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:15,140
in our population and in the region and

444
00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:17,330
want to focus somewhat on the problem

445
00:22:17,330 --> 00:22:18,980
but more so on the solutions of what we

446
00:22:18,980 --> 00:22:20,570
can do together as a community to help

447
00:22:20,570 --> 00:22:21,200
with this

448
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,559
so Bristol is not alone in battling a

449
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:26,240
substance use crisis that has hit our

450
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,450
nation and the United States 115 people

451
00:22:29,450 --> 00:22:31,910
die every day from an opioid overdose

452
00:22:31,910 --> 00:22:34,630
that's almost five per hour

453
00:22:34,630 --> 00:22:38,480
Virginia almost 3.5 people die every day

454
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,940
from an opioid overview' overdose and in

455
00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:44,960
Tennessee the same nationally a baby is

456
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,510
born every 25 minutes withdrawing from

457
00:22:47,510 --> 00:22:49,610
an opioid a condition called neonatal

458
00:22:49,610 --> 00:22:53,330
abstinence syndrome so the problem that

459
00:22:53,330 --> 00:23:02,840
we have is a problem of addiction is a very powerful problem

460
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,990
that is recognized as a chronic disease

461
00:23:04,990 --> 00:23:09,620
and we want to talk a little bit about

462
00:23:09,620 --> 00:23:11,360
some of the effects of this addiction in

463
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:13,460
our community most people think about

464
00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:15,440
opioids they think about overdose deaths

465
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,929
and in Virginia that has risen over the

466
00:23:17,929 --> 00:23:19,990
last three years substantially

467
00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:22,160
regionally when we talk about addiction

468
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,500
we talk about overdose deaths we talk

469
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:26,510
about the rates per 100,000 of the

470
00:23:26,510 --> 00:23:29,179
population most of the deaths in our

471
00:23:29,179 --> 00:23:30,740
region currently are from prescription

472
00:23:30,740 --> 00:23:33,049
opioids but we are seeing a rise in what

473
00:23:33,049 --> 00:23:34,850
we call the synthetic opioids which are

474
00:23:34,850 --> 00:23:39,230
heroin and fentanyl from 2007 to 2017 in

475
00:23:39,230 --> 00:23:40,790
the mount Rogers Health District which

476
00:23:40,790 --> 00:23:42,530
spans eight localities we see about

477
00:23:42,530 --> 00:23:44,870
sixteen to thirty deaths per year in

478
00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:47,120
most localities such as Bristol we seen

479
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:48,410
anywhere from one to three deaths per

480
00:23:48,410 --> 00:23:52,059
year just from prescription opioids as

481
00:23:52,059 --> 00:23:55,190
you can as you can see in Virginia and

482
00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:56,540
then the mount Rogers district and in

483
00:23:56,540 --> 00:23:58,400
Bristol compared again prescription

484
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,940
opioids and synthetic opioids are

485
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:03,260
somewhat close to the state rates in

486
00:24:03,260 --> 00:24:05,240
Bristol over the last seven years we've

487
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,309
had approximately 17 deaths due to both

488
00:24:07,309 --> 00:24:11,659
prescription and synthetic opioids we

489
00:24:11,659 --> 00:24:14,030
look as another marker about opioid use

490
00:24:14,030 --> 00:24:16,200
with narcan Administration narcan

491
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,000
a substance that counteracts the effect

492
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,860
so when we look at we don't focus only

493
00:24:19,860 --> 00:24:21,419
on the opioid deaths which are very

494
00:24:21,419 --> 00:24:23,460
tragic by nature but we focus on some of

495
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:24,899
the other harms they come to the

496
00:24:24,899 --> 00:24:27,929
community narcan is a administration is

497
00:24:27,929 --> 00:24:29,460
a sign of opioid use in the community

498
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:31,200
and you can see that Bristol has higher

499
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,059
than state rates for narcan

500
00:24:33,059 --> 00:24:35,820
administration over the last seven eight

501
00:24:35,820 --> 00:24:39,389
years we look at fentanyl overdose

502
00:24:39,389 --> 00:24:42,059
deaths we don't have as many of those

503
00:24:42,059 --> 00:24:44,130
but when we do have them they are in the

504
00:24:44,130 --> 00:24:45,779
category about age a little higher than

505
00:24:45,779 --> 00:24:47,909
then state rates and also our

506
00:24:47,909 --> 00:24:51,120
prescription opioids deaths also do pop

507
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:52,889
higher than state rates in some of the

508
00:24:52,889 --> 00:24:56,370
age groups naloxone is a medication also

509
00:24:56,370 --> 00:24:58,919
known as narcan that can block the

510
00:24:58,919 --> 00:25:00,750
effect of the opioid so the reason that

511
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:02,789
people die from opioids is because an

512
00:25:02,789 --> 00:25:04,139
opioid is a central nervous system

513
00:25:04,139 --> 00:25:06,600
depressant it makes your body slow down

514
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,549
all over but specifically your brain and

515
00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:10,679
specifically your respiratory center so

516
00:25:10,679 --> 00:25:12,510
people die from opioids literally

517
00:25:12,510 --> 00:25:14,820
because they stop breathing so when you

518
00:25:14,820 --> 00:25:16,529
have Anna Locke's own it binds it

519
00:25:16,529 --> 00:25:18,179
stronger than the opioid to the receptor

520
00:25:18,179 --> 00:25:19,980
and it binds and it actually will knock

521
00:25:19,980 --> 00:25:21,690
the opioid off the receptor and allow

522
00:25:21,690 --> 00:25:23,010
people literally to start breathing

523
00:25:23,010 --> 00:25:25,529
again so it's a very much life-saving

524
00:25:25,529 --> 00:25:29,340
medication just a quick look at some of

525
00:25:29,340 --> 00:25:30,929
the overdose deaths for the state of

526
00:25:30,929 --> 00:25:32,519
Virginia and you'll see regionally where

527
00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:34,950
our concerns are when we look at all

528
00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:37,260
deaths total unnatural deaths for the

529
00:25:37,260 --> 00:25:39,139
state of Virginia over the last 10 years

530
00:25:39,139 --> 00:25:42,779
a natural death by drug overdose have

531
00:25:42,779 --> 00:25:45,630
now risen to be higher than either gun

532
00:25:45,630 --> 00:25:47,130
related fatalities or motor vehicle

533
00:25:47,130 --> 00:25:50,340
fatalities all drugs in general we've

534
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:52,230
had a two-fold increase in all drug

535
00:25:52,230 --> 00:25:54,539
deaths over the last 10 years in the

536
00:25:54,539 --> 00:25:56,909
state going from around 700 per year to

537
00:25:56,909 --> 00:26:00,840
over 1400 per year and you can see that

538
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,760
the state has affected all over dark

539
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,730
colors being worse worse rates all over

540
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:07,769
the state there is some effect of fatal

541
00:26:07,769 --> 00:26:10,470
drug overdoses when we look at

542
00:26:10,470 --> 00:26:12,360
prescription opioids which is more the

543
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:14,789
drug of choice in Southwest Virginia we

544
00:26:14,789 --> 00:26:16,440
can see that the actual numbers of

545
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,059
overdose deaths have not risen

546
00:26:18,059 --> 00:26:20,010
significantly over the last 10 years we

547
00:26:20,010 --> 00:26:22,500
still see about 400 to 500 deaths per

548
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:25,460
year from prescription opioids but

549
00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:27,659
Southwest Virginia has a higher rate of

550
00:26:27,659 --> 00:26:28,760
deaths from

551
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,130
Crypton opioids we look at other

552
00:26:31,130 --> 00:26:33,050
substances such as heroin we see a

553
00:26:33,050 --> 00:26:35,030
logarithmic increase over the last three

554
00:26:35,030 --> 00:26:36,590
to four years and the number of heroin

555
00:26:36,590 --> 00:26:38,750
deaths across the state thankfully

556
00:26:38,750 --> 00:26:40,610
Southwest Virginia not is quite as

557
00:26:40,610 --> 00:26:41,840
hard-hit by this

558
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,150
likewise fentanyl again a logarithmic

559
00:26:44,150 --> 00:26:45,980
rise over the last three to four years

560
00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:49,100
in infant nil deaths also there are

561
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:50,870
things called fentanyl analogues which

562
00:26:50,870 --> 00:26:52,850
are being synthesized and the the

563
00:26:52,850 --> 00:26:54,200
fentanyl is generally coming out of

564
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,780
Mexico in China especially the analogues

565
00:26:56,780 --> 00:26:58,580
they are making fentanyl analogues

566
00:26:58,580 --> 00:27:00,950
faster than we can make a drug test to

567
00:27:00,950 --> 00:27:03,200
discover them to test them in people and

568
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,660
you can see that fentanyl is a great

569
00:27:05,660 --> 00:27:08,720
source of opioid death across the state

570
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,790
we do have some in South West Virginia

571
00:27:10,790 --> 00:27:12,350
not as much as some of the rest of the

572
00:27:12,350 --> 00:27:15,350
state benzodiazepines are something that

573
00:27:15,350 --> 00:27:17,930
are used for generally anxiety and we

574
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:19,670
have a lot of anxiety prescriptions in

575
00:27:19,670 --> 00:27:22,880
our area thankfully generally

576
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,770
benzodiazepines are not considered a

577
00:27:24,770 --> 00:27:28,580
drug of death they are more deadly when prescribed with prescription

578
00:27:28,580 --> 00:27:31,430
opioids which has been a habit for many

579
00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:33,890
years by physicians so Southwest

580
00:27:33,890 --> 00:27:36,040
Virginia does see a greater risk of

581
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,000
benzodiazepine deaths but we've had some

582
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,470
great education over the last few years

583
00:27:39,470 --> 00:27:42,620
and we are seeing less of these cocaine

584
00:27:42,620 --> 00:27:44,360
traditionally has not been slated as a

585
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:46,220
drug of death we do think when we think

586
00:27:46,220 --> 00:27:48,050
about cocaine's associated with death

587
00:27:48,050 --> 00:27:49,940
more of a stimulant type activity like

588
00:27:49,940 --> 00:27:51,710
heart attacks or strokes or something of

589
00:27:51,710 --> 00:27:54,380
that nature but we have seen a rise in

590
00:27:54,380 --> 00:27:55,790
the last few years for cocaine deaths

591
00:27:55,790 --> 00:27:57,860
and these are generally because these

592
00:27:57,860 --> 00:27:59,390
have been cut with fentanyl so they're

593
00:27:59,390 --> 00:28:01,340
putting fentanyl and to the cocaine and

594
00:28:01,340 --> 00:28:03,140
people are dying as a result of the

595
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:05,540
fentanyl exposure again Southwest

596
00:28:05,540 --> 00:28:07,340
Virginia not quite as hard-hit as some

597
00:28:07,340 --> 00:28:09,670
of the rest of the state from cocaine

598
00:28:09,670 --> 00:28:11,270
methamphetamine though you're probably

599
00:28:11,270 --> 00:28:13,340
more aware of traditionally

600
00:28:13,340 --> 00:28:15,110
methamphetamine again being a stimulant

601
00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:18,140
has not been a drug of death but usually

602
00:28:18,140 --> 00:28:20,420
less than 10 deaths per year when people

603
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:22,040
made methamphetamine in their backyard

604
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,230
toxic as it was at least they knew what

605
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:25,940
they were getting now that most of the

606
00:28:25,940 --> 00:28:27,650
meth is coming out of Mexico we're

607
00:28:27,650 --> 00:28:30,110
seeing much pure meth and stronger meth

608
00:28:30,110 --> 00:28:31,580
but they're also getting at cut in with

609
00:28:31,580 --> 00:28:33,170
the fentanyl and we've had a logarithmic

610
00:28:33,170 --> 00:28:36,110
rise of methamphetamine deaths in the

611
00:28:36,110 --> 00:28:38,480
state of Virginia over 120 last year and

612
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,610
Southwest Virginia is particularly hard

613
00:28:40,610 --> 00:28:41,220
hit by the

614
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:43,289
methamphetamine deaths when people buy

615
00:28:43,289 --> 00:28:44,850
drugs off the street they don't know

616
00:28:44,850 --> 00:28:46,049
what they're getting and so they're more

617
00:28:46,049 --> 00:28:49,440
likely to die from those drugs so we

618
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,809
look at not only deaths in our region

619
00:28:51,809 --> 00:28:53,460
which are very tragic but we look at

620
00:28:53,460 --> 00:28:55,230
some of the other harms that come as a

621
00:28:55,230 --> 00:28:57,030
result of this neonatal abstinence

622
00:28:57,030 --> 00:28:59,130
syndrome is when babies are born who

623
00:28:59,130 --> 00:29:00,870
have been exposed to opioids during

624
00:29:00,870 --> 00:29:02,970
their the mother's pregnancy and then

625
00:29:02,970 --> 00:29:04,140
they go into withdrawal when they're

626
00:29:04,140 --> 00:29:06,990
born Bristol has higher than state rates

627
00:29:06,990 --> 00:29:09,809
over double than in the state of

628
00:29:09,809 --> 00:29:11,490
Virginia I will tell you though that

629
00:29:11,490 --> 00:29:13,679
these numbers are low these numbers are

630
00:29:13,679 --> 00:29:15,570
just the babies born in Virginia most of

631
00:29:15,570 --> 00:29:16,799
the babies in Bristol are born in

632
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:18,570
Tennessee the latest numbers that I have

633
00:29:18,570 --> 00:29:21,000
are quadruple that for the number of the

634
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,340
rate of Naas babies from Bristol so we

635
00:29:23,340 --> 00:29:25,559
are very significantly hit by this when

636
00:29:25,559 --> 00:29:26,880
you talk to your school system you'll

637
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,220
hear it as well so na s first then

638
00:29:29,220 --> 00:29:31,530
Bristol are generally higher than the

639
00:29:31,530 --> 00:29:33,870
state rates and you can see that

640
00:29:33,870 --> 00:29:35,130
Southwest Virginia has been in

641
00:29:35,130 --> 00:29:38,820
particularly hit by na s births we also

642
00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:41,909
look at things like HIV HIV rates are

643
00:29:41,909 --> 00:29:44,039
higher in substance users thankfully in

644
00:29:44,039 --> 00:29:45,780
South West Virginia and specifically in

645
00:29:45,780 --> 00:29:48,000
Bristol we have not seen a rise in HIV

646
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,710
attributable to substance use at this

647
00:29:49,710 --> 00:29:52,980
point but it will often follow the

648
00:29:52,980 --> 00:29:54,570
lifetime cost of treating someone with

649
00:29:54,570 --> 00:29:57,750
HIV if they get contracted at age 35 is

650
00:29:57,750 --> 00:30:01,530
over $300,000 for lifetime cost if you

651
00:30:01,530 --> 00:30:03,570
do look at the ages of new HIV cases

652
00:30:03,570 --> 00:30:05,909
though we do tend to have stock higher

653
00:30:05,909 --> 00:30:07,440
than state rates in some of those age

654
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,960
groups generally in the 25 to 45 range

655
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,049
we also look at hepatitis C and this is

656
00:30:13,049 --> 00:30:14,789
where we do hit much higher than state

657
00:30:14,789 --> 00:30:17,010
rates for our hepatitis C nationally

658
00:30:17,010 --> 00:30:18,720
hepatitis C is recognized as an

659
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,429
indicator of substance use in a

660
00:30:20,429 --> 00:30:23,730
community our rates are quadruple + over

661
00:30:23,730 --> 00:30:25,590
state rates for hepatitis C and Bristol

662
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:27,330
and this is a regional effect as well a

663
00:30:27,330 --> 00:30:30,390
few you can see again Bristol rates are

664
00:30:30,390 --> 00:30:32,760
higher than state rates a few fun facts

665
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,710
about hepatitis C are actually not so

666
00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:37,020
fun but 25% of people who inject rub

667
00:30:37,020 --> 00:30:39,450
draw drugs will become positive for

668
00:30:39,450 --> 00:30:42,090
hepatitis C within two years hepatitis C

669
00:30:42,090 --> 00:30:43,980
will actually linger on surfaces for

670
00:30:43,980 --> 00:30:45,659
over 3 weeks which means it's very

671
00:30:45,659 --> 00:30:47,460
transmittable and there is no vaccine

672
00:30:47,460 --> 00:30:50,130
for hepatitis C we do have back teens

673
00:30:50,130 --> 00:30:52,409
for hepatitis A and hepatitis B but not

674
00:30:52,409 --> 00:30:54,030
for hepatitis C yet

675
00:30:54,030 --> 00:30:55,830
and if someone gets hepatitis C the good

676
00:30:55,830 --> 00:30:57,690
news is they can be cured from their

677
00:30:57,690 --> 00:31:00,240
hepatitis C average cost of treatment is

678
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,530
a hundred thousand to almost three

679
00:31:01,530 --> 00:31:03,090
hundred thousand dollars for treatment

680
00:31:03,090 --> 00:31:05,100
and if they get treated and don't go

681
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:06,450
into recovery they can contract

682
00:31:06,450 --> 00:31:09,030
hepatitis C again in Virginia you do not

683
00:31:09,030 --> 00:31:11,130
have to be sober to get treated for your

684
00:31:11,130 --> 00:31:12,870
hepatitis C so you can still be using

685
00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:15,450
and still be treated when we look at

686
00:31:15,450 --> 00:31:17,430
hepatitis C regionally and across the

687
00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:19,620
state we can see that in 2011 it was

688
00:31:19,620 --> 00:31:21,450
mostly confined to Southwest Virginia

689
00:31:21,450 --> 00:31:23,340
but there has been a growth of this

690
00:31:23,340 --> 00:31:25,710
across the state over the last several

691
00:31:25,710 --> 00:31:28,170
years and again darker zwarst and

692
00:31:28,170 --> 00:31:30,090
Southwest Virginia has higher hepatitis

693
00:31:30,090 --> 00:31:33,810
C rates the CDC did a study in 2016 that

694
00:31:33,810 --> 00:31:37,020
looked at 220 counties that looked at

695
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:39,060
the every county across the United

696
00:31:39,060 --> 00:31:42,180
States the top five counties the top

697
00:31:42,180 --> 00:31:44,610
five percent of counties which was 220

698
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,010
across the state were selected for those

699
00:31:47,010 --> 00:31:49,020
that greatest risk for HIV and hepatitis

700
00:31:49,020 --> 00:31:52,860
C Virginia had eight states at risk for

701
00:31:52,860 --> 00:31:55,530
HIV and hepatitis C outbreak the closest

702
00:31:55,530 --> 00:31:57,300
one to us is with County but the rest

703
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:59,100
are in South West Virginia Lee wise

704
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:00,630
Dickinson Buckhannon Russell and

705
00:32:00,630 --> 00:32:02,820
Tazewell there's also Patrick County so

706
00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:04,950
we had only 5% of counties across

707
00:32:04,950 --> 00:32:08,280
Virginia where on this list 50 percent

708
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,720
of counties in Tennessee were on this

709
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,060
list 45 percent of counties in Kentucky

710
00:32:12,060 --> 00:32:14,160
and West Virginia are on this list we

711
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,750
are inundated with hepatitis C around us

712
00:32:17,750 --> 00:32:19,890
hepatitis A is something you may have

713
00:32:19,890 --> 00:32:21,120
heard a little bit more about recently

714
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,370
this is also has high risk groups

715
00:32:23,370 --> 00:32:25,470
including the substance using community

716
00:32:25,470 --> 00:32:28,260
but others can get it as well especially

717
00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:30,030
once it becomes once it gets into a

718
00:32:30,030 --> 00:32:32,910
community hepatitis A is not a substance

719
00:32:32,910 --> 00:32:34,980
using like a blood-borne pathogen like B

720
00:32:34,980 --> 00:32:36,390
and C it is more of the fecal-oral

721
00:32:36,390 --> 00:32:38,850
transmission route so this is something

722
00:32:38,850 --> 00:32:40,500
that if you have shared food or eating

723
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:42,150
this food that has been prepared by

724
00:32:42,150 --> 00:32:43,860
someone with hepatitis A you can get

725
00:32:43,860 --> 00:32:47,330
hepatitis A it's quite contagious

726
00:32:47,330 --> 00:32:49,320
unfortunately at Matt Rogers district

727
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,520
has the distinction of having the

728
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,410
highest number of hepatitis A cases in

729
00:32:52,410 --> 00:32:54,600
the state right now we know that this is

730
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,220
attributable to our proportion of

731
00:32:56,220 --> 00:32:58,410
substance users we also were concerned

732
00:32:58,410 --> 00:32:59,940
about food handlers and underwent an

733
00:32:59,940 --> 00:33:01,950
extensive restaurant education campaign

734
00:33:01,950 --> 00:33:04,230
most of the cases of hepatitis A in our

735
00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:05,850
district have been in Bristol Washington

736
00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:06,360
and Smith

737
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,310
counties through the efforts of this

738
00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:10,020
educational campaign as well as

739
00:33:10,020 --> 00:33:12,000
vaccination campaign we have thankfully

740
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,860
seen a decline knock on wood of

741
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:15,960
hepatitis A cases in the last few weeks

742
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,220
and we're happy about that

743
00:33:17,220 --> 00:33:20,190
but we are still vigilant and on the

744
00:33:20,190 --> 00:33:21,900
lookout for how we can help can help

745
00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:25,350
with hepatitis A when we look at opioid

746
00:33:25,350 --> 00:33:27,060
burden across the state of Virginia

747
00:33:27,060 --> 00:33:29,130
again Southwest Virginia is higher hit

748
00:33:29,130 --> 00:33:30,630
than that and it has a lot to do with

749
00:33:30,630 --> 00:33:32,310
the harms we've already talked about na

750
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:34,950
s burst hepatitis C rates opioid deaths

751
00:33:34,950 --> 00:33:38,700
rates we know that there is across to

752
00:33:38,700 --> 00:33:40,620
every locality in Southwest Virginia and

753
00:33:40,620 --> 00:33:42,690
especially in Bristol as well as the

754
00:33:42,690 --> 00:33:45,570
others there is a cost of business a lot

755
00:33:45,570 --> 00:33:47,010
of businesses if you talk with them have

756
00:33:47,010 --> 00:33:49,530
difficulty finding people who will

757
00:33:49,530 --> 00:33:52,830
employees to pass drug screens when we

758
00:33:52,830 --> 00:33:54,390
look at the healthcare effects we look

759
00:33:54,390 --> 00:33:57,090
at the number of overdose responses EMS

760
00:33:57,090 --> 00:33:59,730
response times emergency room care we

761
00:33:59,730 --> 00:34:01,410
look at some of the harms just

762
00:34:01,410 --> 00:34:03,060
associated with the physical injecting

763
00:34:03,060 --> 00:34:04,610
of the drugs including cellulitis

764
00:34:04,610 --> 00:34:07,110
abscesses and bacterial endocarditis and

765
00:34:07,110 --> 00:34:08,550
the cost to our health system for that

766
00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:10,680
if you think about the cost of treatment

767
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,010
for hepatitis C at 40 plus cases per

768
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:16,980
year newly diagnosed Justin Bristol that

769
00:34:16,980 --> 00:34:19,290
would be a cost of four to 12 million

770
00:34:19,290 --> 00:34:21,720
dollars per year just to treat the

771
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:23,340
number of hepatitis C cases that are

772
00:34:23,340 --> 00:34:24,620
positive every year

773
00:34:24,620 --> 00:34:26,730
additionally jail costs and I was hoping

774
00:34:26,730 --> 00:34:28,170
the article from the paper would come

775
00:34:28,170 --> 00:34:29,850
out with all the costs from the jail but

776
00:34:29,850 --> 00:34:31,290
you can read about it probably tomorrow

777
00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:33,630
I know they've been looking at cell at

778
00:34:33,630 --> 00:34:35,130
Sullivan County Jail and the effect of

779
00:34:35,130 --> 00:34:36,570
substance use and the overcrowding

780
00:34:36,570 --> 00:34:38,040
issues and I know that the Bristol jails

781
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,780
had a difficult time with this as well

782
00:34:39,780 --> 00:34:42,000
but you know as a council in a city how

783
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,800
much you've spent on jail cost how much

784
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,300
your costs have increased over the last

785
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:47,400
five years resulting from substance use

786
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,360
we look at DSS over 500 cases of abuse

787
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,000
and neglect per year currently up from

788
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,320
years past they relate that 90 to 95% of

789
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,270
these have some sort of substance use in

790
00:35:00,270 --> 00:35:02,040
the home even if that's what not what

791
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,050
they were initially presented for and if

792
00:35:04,050 --> 00:35:06,620
you look at therapeutic foster care its

793
00:35:06,620 --> 00:35:09,180
46,000 dollars just for a six-month

794
00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:11,310
stint of therapeutic foster child care

795
00:35:11,310 --> 00:35:14,640
per child we look at our schools we look

796
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,440
at the impact in the schools we look at

797
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,900
referrals less than 20 15 years ago and

798
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:19,530
now they're getting

799
00:35:19,530 --> 00:35:21,870
fifty to sixty per year I will tell you

800
00:35:21,870 --> 00:35:23,820
with our rates of Naas when you think

801
00:35:23,820 --> 00:35:26,940
about how a child with na s who has no

802
00:35:26,940 --> 00:35:29,280
behavioral regulation how that looks in

803
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,900
a classroom full of children when you

804
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:33,300
have you know in years past a couple of

805
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:34,770
troublemakers and now you have a whole

806
00:35:34,770 --> 00:35:36,480
classroom full of children who cannot

807
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,370
regulate themselves it impacts the

808
00:35:38,370 --> 00:35:39,840
education of every single one of our

809
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,110
students so the problem as we as I've

810
00:35:43,110 --> 00:35:44,520
alluded to is addiction

811
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,170
so addiction is the state of being

812
00:35:46,170 --> 00:35:48,660
enslaved to a habit or practice or

813
00:35:48,660 --> 00:35:50,220
something that is psychologically or

814
00:35:50,220 --> 00:35:51,840
physically habit-forming to such an

815
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,390
extent that it's cessation causes severe

816
00:35:54,390 --> 00:35:57,210
trauma we think about characteristics of

817
00:35:57,210 --> 00:35:59,750
an addiction being inability to abstain

818
00:35:59,750 --> 00:36:01,740
impairment of behavioral control

819
00:36:01,740 --> 00:36:04,230
cravings for the drugs or word

820
00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:06,780
experiences diminish recognition that

821
00:36:06,780 --> 00:36:08,430
you even have a problem and a

822
00:36:08,430 --> 00:36:10,700
dysfunctional emotional response

823
00:36:10,700 --> 00:36:13,620
addiction affects approximately 10% of

824
00:36:13,620 --> 00:36:15,480
our population is classified as a

825
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,220
chronic disease much like depression

826
00:36:17,220 --> 00:36:20,130
because being a kind of an illness of

827
00:36:20,130 --> 00:36:21,630
the mind that sometimes Harbor to wrap

828
00:36:21,630 --> 00:36:23,400
your hands around as far as how do you

829
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,680
treat that but we also diabetes affects

830
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,630
approximately 10% of our population as

831
00:36:27,630 --> 00:36:29,840
well

832
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,370
how does addiction start it's a little

833
00:36:32,370 --> 00:36:33,810
bit different for everyone sometimes

834
00:36:33,810 --> 00:36:35,850
it's just bad circumstances and bad

835
00:36:35,850 --> 00:36:37,260
timing you're in your environment you

836
00:36:37,260 --> 00:36:40,770
have an opportunity kids out partying that sort of a thing

837
00:36:40,770 --> 00:36:43,110
part of it is genetic why is it that

838
00:36:43,110 --> 00:36:44,610
some people will have a surgery and get

839
00:36:44,610 --> 00:36:46,680
a bottle of pain pills to go home from

840
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,090
their surgery and by the end of them may

841
00:36:48,090 --> 00:36:50,430
actually be addicted to opioids versus

842
00:36:50,430 --> 00:36:51,720
some people take the whole bottle and

843
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:53,010
stop them without any withdrawal

844
00:36:53,010 --> 00:36:54,630
symptoms whatsoever what's the

845
00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:56,610
difference genetically there we need to

846
00:36:56,610 --> 00:36:59,010
do further research and looking into

847
00:36:59,010 --> 00:37:00,930
this as far as how we can better treat

848
00:37:00,930 --> 00:37:02,850
our patients as physicians we have a lot

849
00:37:02,850 --> 00:37:05,340
of work to do as well we think about

850
00:37:05,340 --> 00:37:07,170
traumatic experiences and this goes back

851
00:37:07,170 --> 00:37:09,180
to the aces people are looking for a way

852
00:37:09,180 --> 00:37:11,340
out they've had a hard childhood I just

853
00:37:11,340 --> 00:37:12,630
want to be numb they don't want to think

854
00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:14,580
about it anymore how can we address that

855
00:37:14,580 --> 00:37:18,390
problem better so again coming back to

856
00:37:18,390 --> 00:37:20,220
the aces and I didn't know Becky and the

857
00:37:20,220 --> 00:37:21,750
team would be here tonight but we think

858
00:37:21,750 --> 00:37:23,790
about adverse childhood experiences and

859
00:37:23,790 --> 00:37:26,070
how is this affecting our all of our

860
00:37:26,070 --> 00:37:27,930
children and the generations that are

861
00:37:27,930 --> 00:37:29,910
coming up we know now that there are

862
00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:31,980
many grandparents raising children right

863
00:37:31,980 --> 00:37:32,260
now

864
00:37:32,260 --> 00:37:33,880
and what effect is that having on our

865
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,210
society so we talk about abuse neglect

866
00:37:37,210 --> 00:37:39,670
and household dysfunction

867
00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:42,460
if 64% of adults have at least one ace

868
00:37:42,460 --> 00:37:45,070
and 12% have four or more if you have

869
00:37:45,070 --> 00:37:47,170
increased risk if you have increasing

870
00:37:47,170 --> 00:37:48,910
aces you have do have increased risks

871
00:37:48,910 --> 00:37:51,190
for smoking addiction obesity depression

872
00:37:51,190 --> 00:37:54,460
diabetes suicide addiction and other

873
00:37:54,460 --> 00:37:56,230
health related abnormalities the higher

874
00:37:56,230 --> 00:37:59,770
your score the increase your risk if you

875
00:37:59,770 --> 00:38:01,480
have an ace score of six or more you

876
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,070
have a life that span that can be

877
00:38:03,070 --> 00:38:06,310
shortened by twenty years we talk about

878
00:38:06,310 --> 00:38:08,620
the resiliency and hopefully this is

879
00:38:08,620 --> 00:38:10,240
aces Proclamation month you'll have an

880
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:11,620
opportunity to learn a lot more about

881
00:38:11,620 --> 00:38:14,170
this but we look about what can we do as

882
00:38:14,170 --> 00:38:16,210
a community to provide resilience for

883
00:38:16,210 --> 00:38:18,850
our children and for our young parents

884
00:38:18,850 --> 00:38:20,440
suffering and we and we'll talk about

885
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,310
and you'll hear more about that from the

886
00:38:23,310 --> 00:38:25,120
resiliency team but we talk about

887
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,070
competence building confidence in them

888
00:38:27,070 --> 00:38:29,110
having to make social connections having

889
00:38:29,110 --> 00:38:30,550
mentors that will help them with their

890
00:38:30,550 --> 00:38:32,680
character coping skills how do they

891
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:38,650
control their behavioral regulation okay

892
00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:41,590
so again we know there's a problem what

893
00:38:41,590 --> 00:38:43,570
can we do for solutions thankfully there

894
00:38:43,570 --> 00:38:45,340
are a lot of great solutions on going

895
00:38:45,340 --> 00:38:46,540
out there and I want to highlight on

896
00:38:46,540 --> 00:38:48,220
those and then talk about what we can do

897
00:38:48,220 --> 00:38:50,350
as a community otherwise so one of our

898
00:38:50,350 --> 00:38:51,700
primary things is what we're doing right

899
00:38:51,700 --> 00:38:53,980
now education making people aware that

900
00:38:53,980 --> 00:38:55,930
there's a problem a lot of people if you

901
00:38:55,930 --> 00:38:57,400
talk to them they have been affected

902
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,380
personally by substance use in their

903
00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:01,450
family or in a co-worker or a co-workers

904
00:39:01,450 --> 00:39:03,610
family so we like people to know that

905
00:39:03,610 --> 00:39:04,840
they're not alone when we talk about

906
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,270
substance use or addiction and we need

907
00:39:07,270 --> 00:39:08,650
our community to know that it can

908
00:39:08,650 --> 00:39:10,300
decrease the stigma how people talk

909
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:11,740
about it help them have them get into

910
00:39:11,740 --> 00:39:14,800
help there's also a big push to get a

911
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,500
new unneeded medication out of our homes

912
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:19,900
out of our medicine boxes and into

913
00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:21,970
proper disposal there is a drug

914
00:39:21,970 --> 00:39:23,470
take-back day and you have one of these

915
00:39:23,470 --> 00:39:25,120
in your pot in your packets they happen

916
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,160
every April in October we have one

917
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,110
coming up October the 26th at the Food

918
00:39:29,110 --> 00:39:31,600
City and any medications that are not

919
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,010
needed in the house and we want everyone

920
00:39:33,010 --> 00:39:34,720
in the community to do this is to take

921
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:36,340
all your unneeded medications and

922
00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:38,380
dispose of them properly environmentally

923
00:39:38,380 --> 00:39:40,210
soundly we don't want you flushing them

924
00:39:40,210 --> 00:39:41,680
we don't want to putting them in your

00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:42,970
garbage we don't want them in the water

926
00:39:42,970 --> 00:39:44,000
we don't want them in our

927
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,160
Phil we want them to be disposed of

928
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,020
properly there are additionally drug

00:39:48,020 --> 00:39:49,730
drop boxes and there's one for sherek

930
00:39:49,730 --> 00:39:51,140
office here in Bristol and every

931
00:39:51,140 --> 00:39:53,120
locality in South West Virginia where if

932
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,410
you don't happen to make the drug drop

933
00:39:54,410 --> 00:39:55,760
date there are locations all over

934
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,470
Southwest Virginia where we want people

935
00:39:57,470 --> 00:39:59,270
to dispose of environmentally friendly

936
00:39:59,270 --> 00:40:00,200
their medications

937
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,580
additionally there are packets

938
00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:03,650
manufacture it's called Tutera which

939
00:40:03,650 --> 00:40:05,870
people can put unused medication in you

940
00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:07,400
can there's a little substance in here

941
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,600
and you can put a little warm water and

942
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,240
swish it around and it will completely

943
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:13,640
environmentally safe Lee just eliminate

944
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,260
that product such that no one can draw

945
00:40:15,260 --> 00:40:17,540
anything out of it we have packets that

946
00:40:17,540 --> 00:40:18,770
we'll put at the back of the room today

947
00:40:18,770 --> 00:40:20,540
if anybody wants these packets for drug

948
00:40:20,540 --> 00:40:21,980
disposal we would encourage you to take

949
00:40:21,980 --> 00:40:23,750
them we have them available to all of

950
00:40:23,750 --> 00:40:24,980
our health departments right down here

951
00:40:24,980 --> 00:40:26,960
in the street anytime anybody needs them

952
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,180
so we really want to advocate for proper

953
00:40:29,180 --> 00:40:30,850
drug disposal in our community

954
00:40:30,850 --> 00:40:32,540
additionally our health care providers

955
00:40:32,540 --> 00:40:34,430
as I mentioned physicians we there are

956
00:40:34,430 --> 00:40:36,920
ongoing campaigns across Virginia

957
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,690
Tennessee and many other states about

958
00:40:38,690 --> 00:40:41,780
how do we prescribe more smartly as more

959
00:40:41,780 --> 00:40:43,130
smartly is probably not a good term how

960
00:40:43,130 --> 00:40:45,290
do we prescribe better as far as our

961
00:40:45,290 --> 00:40:47,150
drug use and what about research for

962
00:40:47,150 --> 00:40:49,070
alternative pain medication treatments

963
00:40:49,070 --> 00:40:50,810
we don't want people to be in pain we

964
00:40:50,810 --> 00:40:52,250
want to treat them better but we want to

965
00:40:52,250 --> 00:40:53,450
treat them such that they don't have a

966
00:40:53,450 --> 00:40:56,510
form an addiction or have other problems

967
00:40:56,510 --> 00:40:58,700
from that we also want to educate our

968
00:40:58,700 --> 00:41:01,190
youth we have programs in our schools we

969
00:41:01,190 --> 00:41:02,750
actually have a grant going on right now

970
00:41:02,750 --> 00:41:05,030
that Bristol is participating in which

971
00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:08,060
is actually a to Tina to decrease our

972
00:41:08,060 --> 00:41:09,800
teenage pregnancy rates but it actually

973
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,140
focuses on risk reduction and as such it

974
00:41:12,140 --> 00:41:14,110
speaks to substance use and how can we

975
00:41:14,110 --> 00:41:16,400
make an intervention even in the middle

976
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,840
school to have these young students

977
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,390
thinking about their futures and what

978
00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:23,180
will substance use do for that or take

979
00:41:23,180 --> 00:41:25,190
away we also have some after-school

980
00:41:25,190 --> 00:41:27,020
programming so when we think about

981
00:41:27,020 --> 00:41:29,120
prevention that would be what we would

982
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,310
like to do we would like to prevent as

983
00:41:31,310 --> 00:41:33,260
many people from entering into addiction

984
00:41:33,260 --> 00:41:35,150
as we can but for those who are already

985
00:41:35,150 --> 00:41:37,280
in addiction there is hope and there's

986
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,530
promise treatment for addiction is very

987
00:41:39,530 --> 00:41:42,110
hard-fought but it can be successful we

988
00:41:42,110 --> 00:41:43,880
have to have community support we have

989
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,440
to have family support we have to have

990
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,120
community programs for them and the

991
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,860
individual has to want that as well for

992
00:41:48,860 --> 00:41:50,810
themselves but we think about treatment

993
00:41:50,810 --> 00:41:52,040
for addiction just like we think about

994
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,550
diabetes depression we don't Excel is

995
00:41:55,550 --> 00:41:56,840
somebody with diabetes well you can't

996
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:57,580
ever eat

997
00:41:57,580 --> 00:42:00,370
again just go you know make smart

998
00:42:00,370 --> 00:42:02,470
choices that doesn't work we we want

999
00:42:02,470 --> 00:42:04,210
them to make smart choices but we also

1000
00:42:04,210 --> 00:42:05,560
want them to exercise and take their

1001
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,570
medication same thing for depression we

1002
00:42:07,570 --> 00:42:09,700
use counseling exercise and medication

1003
00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:11,710
assisted treatment so for addiction

1004
00:42:11,710 --> 00:42:13,420
there is counseling support groups as

1005
00:42:13,420 --> 00:42:14,920
well as medication assisted treatment

1006
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,900
and the state has gone a long way to

1007
00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:18,790
increase reimbursements for physicians

1008
00:42:18,790 --> 00:42:21,550
to do proper counseling and medication

1009
00:42:21,550 --> 00:42:23,800
assisted treatment so we're seeing an

1010
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,360
increase in these in our community and

1011
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,620
we do want to see an increase in the

1012
00:42:26,620 --> 00:42:28,030
right kind of medication to treat

1013
00:42:28,030 --> 00:42:30,700
assisted treatment services revived is a

1014
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:32,260
program I mentioned the medication

1015
00:42:32,260 --> 00:42:34,210
naloxone which can bring back a life we

1016
00:42:34,210 --> 00:42:35,980
have revived programs that we can teach

1017
00:42:35,980 --> 00:42:37,300
in a community and we would love to

1018
00:42:37,300 --> 00:42:38,800
teach more here in Bristol we've already

1019
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,660
done some but this is something where we

1020
00:42:40,660 --> 00:42:42,880
show people how to recognize an overdose

1021
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,280
to addiction excuse me an overdose to an

1022
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,320
opioid and then we can actually give

1023
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:48,970
them narcan so that they could

1024
00:42:48,970 --> 00:42:53,140
administer this to a loved one there are

1025
00:42:53,140 --> 00:42:55,210
other things that we can do to reduce

1026
00:42:55,210 --> 00:42:56,620
some of the harms in our community

1027
00:42:56,620 --> 00:42:58,330
recovery court is a wonderful thing that

1028
00:42:58,330 --> 00:43:00,270
Bristol does participate in this is a

1029
00:43:00,270 --> 00:43:02,710
thing that can help to decrease some of

1030
00:43:02,710 --> 00:43:04,690
the overcrowding in your jails as far as

1031
00:43:04,690 --> 00:43:06,190
you're trying to win or out those who

1032
00:43:06,190 --> 00:43:09,040
are have substance arrest is because

1033
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,510
they're dealing in substances versus

1034
00:43:10,510 --> 00:43:12,130
those who just really have addiction and

1035
00:43:12,130 --> 00:43:13,150
need to have help for their addiction

1036
00:43:13,150 --> 00:43:15,640
and get them into treatment we also need

1037
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,560
many more support groups in our in our

1038
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,150
area and we work with the faith-based

1039
00:43:19,150 --> 00:43:20,620
community and the ministerial

1040
00:43:20,620 --> 00:43:22,740
associations to increase our number of

1041
00:43:22,740 --> 00:43:24,790
naaa meetings and there are other

1042
00:43:24,790 --> 00:43:26,290
celebrate life and other kinds of

1043
00:43:26,290 --> 00:43:27,730
recovery meetings in the community we

1044
00:43:27,730 --> 00:43:30,610
would like to advocate for Naas we have

1045
00:43:30,610 --> 00:43:32,770
regional we have work groups that we

1046
00:43:32,770 --> 00:43:35,290
work with our agencies about plans for

1047
00:43:35,290 --> 00:43:37,600
Naas helping to build support groups for

1048
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,250
substance using pregnant women and then

1049
00:43:39,250 --> 00:43:41,110
the families after they're born to get

1050
00:43:41,110 --> 00:43:43,600
them into supportive services we also

1051
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:44,950
have a school work group and a new

1052
00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:46,390
research opportunity that we'll be

1053
00:43:46,390 --> 00:43:48,430
working with an NIH grant to look at

1054
00:43:48,430 --> 00:43:50,470
this more closely we want to provide

1055
00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:52,270
birth control so that substance using

1056
00:43:52,270 --> 00:43:53,800
pregnant women don't get pregnant and

1057
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,240
have babies until they're ready and in a

1058
00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:57,940
good place for that HIV we refer to

1059
00:43:57,940 --> 00:43:59,290
treatment there is pre exposure

1060
00:43:59,290 --> 00:44:02,230
prophylaxis hepatitis C we want to be

1061
00:44:02,230 --> 00:44:03,700
able to refer people for treatment and

1062
00:44:03,700 --> 00:44:06,460
also reduce to use needles there are

1063
00:44:06,460 --> 00:44:07,840
many good community things going on

1064
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,340
right now we've been working as a

1065
00:44:09,340 --> 00:44:11,230
community on a her serger

1066
00:44:11,230 --> 00:44:13,780
for planning grant and we have many

1067
00:44:13,780 --> 00:44:15,580
agencies from across Southwest Virginia

1068
00:44:15,580 --> 00:44:17,170
and Upper East Tennessee working

1069
00:44:17,170 --> 00:44:20,190
collaboratively for community programs

1070
00:44:20,190 --> 00:44:23,770
we also had a US Chamber of event

1071
00:44:23,770 --> 00:44:26,200
Chamber of Commerce event back in the

1072
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,300
spring about sharing solutions and in

1073
00:44:28,300 --> 00:44:31,330
getting a lot of this workforce into

1074
00:44:31,330 --> 00:44:33,790
better employment because a lot of the

1075
00:44:33,790 --> 00:44:35,230
reason they go back to their substance

1076
00:44:35,230 --> 00:44:36,430
using is because they don't have any

1077
00:44:36,430 --> 00:44:39,850
hope for a job or for a future so we've

1078
00:44:39,850 --> 00:44:41,170
been working quite a bit on that angle

1079
00:44:41,170 --> 00:44:42,490
as far as getting them gainfully

1080
00:44:42,490 --> 00:44:48,070
employed so that they have something to hope for we also did receive an

1081
00:44:48,070 --> 00:44:49,780
implementation grant to go forward and

1082
00:44:49,780 --> 00:44:51,360
do though we more much more Street

1083
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,530
strategic planning regionally about how

1084
00:44:53,530 --> 00:44:56,230
we can have better programs for those

1085
00:44:56,230 --> 00:44:58,960
with substance use and again as I

1086
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,180
mentioned an NIH grant to help with our

1087
00:45:01,180 --> 00:45:03,670
na s population to study them how do we

1088
00:45:03,670 --> 00:45:05,970
help them learn achieve what can we do

1089
00:45:05,970 --> 00:45:08,890
for them to have better positive

1090
00:45:08,890 --> 00:45:12,100
long-term impacts comprehensive harm

1091
00:45:12,100 --> 00:45:13,570
reduction is another public health

1092
00:45:13,570 --> 00:45:15,400
strategy to reduce some of the negative

1093
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,080
health outcomes for people whose

1094
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,060
behaviors put them and others at risk

1095
00:45:19,060 --> 00:45:21,610
for disease as well as injury it helps

1096
00:45:21,610 --> 00:45:23,350
to improve outcomes for the substance

1097
00:45:23,350 --> 00:45:26,140
user but also for first responders and

1098
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:28,180
for the community what you need to do

1099
00:45:28,180 --> 00:45:29,380
for a comprehensive harm reduction

1100
00:45:29,380 --> 00:45:31,600
program is to create a point of contact

1101
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,910
where people in substance use want to

1102
00:45:33,910 --> 00:45:35,680
come whether or not they're quite ready

1103
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,260
for a recovery so you create a place

1104
00:45:38,260 --> 00:45:40,240
where they want to come you actually do

1105
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:41,620
have needles for them which are clean

1106
00:45:41,620 --> 00:45:43,030
which you can exchange for their dirty

1107
00:45:43,030 --> 00:45:44,620
needles but it's more than the needles

1108
00:45:44,620 --> 00:45:46,390
you have a program that brings them into

1109
00:45:46,390 --> 00:45:48,400
healthcare you get them interested in

1110
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,050
their own health you get them into

1111
00:45:50,050 --> 00:45:51,550
medical services you get them into

1112
00:45:51,550 --> 00:45:52,780
behavioral health services because

1113
00:45:52,780 --> 00:45:54,730
there's a great percentage of

1114
00:45:54,730 --> 00:45:56,380
co-occurring but behavioral health

1115
00:45:56,380 --> 00:45:58,600
problems and those with addiction we

1116
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,370
also want to get them tested and treated

1117
00:46:00,370 --> 00:46:03,220
for their HIV and hepatitis C decrease

1118
00:46:03,220 --> 00:46:05,530
our na Esper's provide vaccination so

1119
00:46:05,530 --> 00:46:07,270
it's a program rarely where people can

1120
00:46:07,270 --> 00:46:09,130
come in to begin the process of thinking

1121
00:46:09,130 --> 00:46:12,220
about recovery there has been great

1122
00:46:12,220 --> 00:46:13,630
concern about comprehensive harm

1123
00:46:13,630 --> 00:46:15,040
reduction programs and whether or not

1124
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,170
they may increase crime in Baltimore the

1125
00:46:17,170 --> 00:46:18,460
studies showed that they actually had a

1126
00:46:18,460 --> 00:46:21,850
decrease of violent crime arrests do

1127
00:46:21,850 --> 00:46:23,750
they encourage drug use no

1128
00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:25,340
people who enter into comprehensive harm

1129
00:46:25,340 --> 00:46:26,840
reduction programs are about five times

1130
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,380
more likely to go into recovery there is

1131
00:46:30,380 --> 00:46:32,450
it a safe needle disposal system and

1132
00:46:32,450 --> 00:46:34,310
nationally over 90 percent of syringes

1133
00:46:34,310 --> 00:46:36,800
are returned Virginia does have a policy

1134
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,900
for this that's a one-to-one exchange

1135
00:46:38,900 --> 00:46:40,369
and regionally the programs have had

1136
00:46:40,369 --> 00:46:42,800
more syringes returned than they

1137
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,940
actually gave out hepatitis C can be

1138
00:46:46,940 --> 00:46:49,280
decreased as much as 50 percent in a

1139
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,200
community by these programs so this is a

1140
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,900
very tangible step forward hepatitis C

1141
00:46:53,900 --> 00:46:56,810
reduction in DC they did an analysis

1142
00:46:56,810 --> 00:46:58,700
where they would say 44 million over two

1143
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:00,590
years but if you looked at Bristol and

1144
00:47:00,590 --> 00:47:02,990
at over forty cases of hepatitis C per

1145
00:47:02,990 --> 00:47:04,700
year if you present prevented half of

1146
00:47:04,700 --> 00:47:06,619
those you would still save two to six

1147
00:47:06,619 --> 00:47:09,170
million dollars per year just in

1148
00:47:09,170 --> 00:47:12,200
hepatitis C treatments in Scott County

1149
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,230
Indiana they had a similar number of

1150
00:47:15,230 --> 00:47:16,880
cases a few more than we do as far as

1151
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,130
five to ten cases of HIV per year and

1152
00:47:19,130 --> 00:47:21,320
hepatitis C about forty to sixty cases

1153
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,109
per year in 2015 that had an outbreak

1154
00:47:24,109 --> 00:47:26,090
this kind of allude to that study that I

1155
00:47:26,090 --> 00:47:27,410
showed you earlier about the risk for

1156
00:47:27,410 --> 00:47:29,150
hepatitis C and HIV outbreak but they

1157
00:47:29,150 --> 00:47:33,080
had 183 new cases of HIV and 243 new

1158
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,060
cases of hepatitis C that year they

1159
00:47:35,060 --> 00:47:37,099
instituted a syringe services program

1160
00:47:37,099 --> 00:47:39,440
and were able to decrease their syringe

1161
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,570
sharing and by two years later they only

1162
00:47:41,570 --> 00:47:43,310
had nine new cases back to the baseline

1163
00:47:43,310 --> 00:47:45,109
of HIV and ninety two cases of hepatitis

1164
00:47:45,109 --> 00:47:47,300
C so it did show it to be an effective

1165
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:49,250
program for reducing the burden of

1166
00:47:49,250 --> 00:47:51,859
hepatitis C North Carolina has a syringe

1167
00:47:51,859 --> 00:47:54,500
exchange program as does Tennessee the

1168
00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:56,540
city has said CDC has said that if you

1169
00:47:56,540 --> 00:47:58,280
want to prevent an a hepatitis C

1170
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,380
outbreak in your community there are

1171
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:02,300
four things you need to do number one is

1172
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:04,430
test everyone who will be tested number

1173
00:48:04,430 --> 00:48:06,650
two is to get them into treatment number

1174
00:48:06,650 --> 00:48:08,570
three is to have medication assistant

1175
00:48:08,570 --> 00:48:10,070
programs for people to begin getting

1176
00:48:10,070 --> 00:48:11,930
treatment for their addiction and number

1177
00:48:11,930 --> 00:48:13,430
four is to have a syringe services

1178
00:48:13,430 --> 00:48:17,480
program Smith County decided last year

1179
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,520
that they had a large burden of

1180
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,320
substance use in their community and

1181
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,869
many other harms associated and they

1182
00:48:23,869 --> 00:48:25,670
decided as one of their solutions that

1183
00:48:25,670 --> 00:48:27,200
they wanted to have a comprehensive harm

1184
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,560
reduction program in the county they're

1185
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,270
the first participant started in January

1186
00:48:32,270 --> 00:48:34,089
of this year we have over 74

1187
00:48:34,089 --> 00:48:36,020
participants this far it is a very

1188
00:48:36,020 --> 00:48:37,000
structured program

1189
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,119
identification card the community has to

1190
00:48:40,119 --> 00:48:42,250
be an on board law enforcement city

1191
00:48:42,250 --> 00:48:44,200
council the citizens have to be on board

1192
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,210
with this we do have a trauma-informed

1193
00:48:46,210 --> 00:48:48,400
program coordinator and a peer recovery

1194
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,090
specialist

1195
00:48:49,090 --> 00:48:50,890
would have been able to link people to

1196
00:48:50,890 --> 00:48:52,810
the programs we discussed as far as

1197
00:48:52,810 --> 00:48:54,400
getting their vaccinations their

1198
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,340
hepatitis C treatments getting them on

1199
00:48:57,340 --> 00:48:58,780
to birth control but also social

1200
00:48:58,780 --> 00:49:03,190
supports housing food banks and even

1201
00:49:03,190 --> 00:49:05,710
into recovery services in that program

1202
00:49:05,710 --> 00:49:08,859
we have had three people go into into

1203
00:49:08,859 --> 00:49:11,260
enter into recovery we've had one person

1204
00:49:11,260 --> 00:49:13,000
who has finished their hepatitis C

1205
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,530
treatment one person awaiting test

1206
00:49:14,530 --> 00:49:16,480
results there has been one overdose

1207
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,700
reversal with naloxone they had been

1208
00:49:18,700 --> 00:49:21,010
connected to medical services and to

1209
00:49:21,010 --> 00:49:25,560
mental health services so for Bristol

1210
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,790
where we would like to start is with a

1211
00:49:27,790 --> 00:49:29,349
community health assessment and this is

1212
00:49:29,349 --> 00:49:30,490
when we gather our community

1213
00:49:30,490 --> 00:49:32,440
stakeholders and the agencies of the

1214
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,810
community and say what are your concerns

1215
00:49:34,810 --> 00:49:37,599
for this community and what is agencies

1216
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:40,030
can we do to help our community how what

1217
00:49:40,030 --> 00:49:41,800
kind of solutions can we provide to

1218
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,560
Bristol when it comes to the problem of

1219
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,839
substance abuse and other problems that

1220
00:49:46,839 --> 00:49:50,460
this council decides are of significance

1221
00:49:50,460 --> 00:49:52,359
we would like to plan a kickoff meeting

1222
00:49:52,359 --> 00:49:56,530
begin collecting data have people decide

1223
00:49:56,530 --> 00:49:59,260
on what are their top priorities as well

1224
00:49:59,260 --> 00:50:05,170
as begin implementing strategies thank

00:50:06,580 --> 00:50:07,960

thank you for a living and I'd like to

1231
00:50:18,220 --> 00:50:20,140
say I agree with you this is a major

1232
00:50:20,140 --> 00:50:22,119
problem from from whichever perspective

1233
00:50:22,119 --> 00:50:24,190
you look at it whether it be quality

1234
00:50:24,190 --> 00:50:26,550
live economic development public health

1235
00:50:26,550 --> 00:50:28,869
I was actually at a conference this

1236
00:50:28,869 --> 00:50:31,300
morning with Steve Williams who's the

1237
00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:32,500
mayor of Huntington West Virginia

1238
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:34,780
I see you've probably read up on him

1239
00:50:34,780 --> 00:50:36,550
they had I think New York Times

1240
00:50:36,550 --> 00:50:38,230
classified them as the epicenter of the

1241
00:50:38,230 --> 00:50:40,359
opioid epidemic and they went and did

1242
00:50:40,359 --> 00:50:42,030
some some really forward-thinking

1243
00:50:42,030 --> 00:50:44,410
proactive things to kind of deal with it

1244
00:50:44,410 --> 00:50:46,660
so I appreciate y'all bringing this to

1245
00:50:46,660 --> 00:50:48,940
us and given this information and will work

1246
00:50:48,940 --> 00:50:50,860
with you however we can do thank you for

1247
00:50:50,860 --> 00:50:59,260
working with the community thank you we

1248
00:50:59,260 --> 00:51:00,730
are going to take a five-minute recess

1249
00:51:00,730 --> 00:51:04,950
for again to the next thing we are back

1250
00:51:04,950 --> 00:51:07,840
so next item we have got on the agenda

1251
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,120
is a public hearing regarding three

1252
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,180
scheduled residential demolitions we'll

1253
00:51:13,180 --> 00:51:15,580
go ahead and open the hearing staff

1254
00:51:15,580 --> 00:51:17,980
comments counsel these are targeted

1255
00:51:17,980 --> 00:51:19,630
properties which are vacant abandoned

1256
00:51:19,630 --> 00:51:21,070
and neglected by the owners and they've

1257
00:51:21,070 --> 00:51:23,620
been determined to be beyond repair the

1258
00:51:23,620 --> 00:51:25,210
city building inspector concurred with

1259
00:51:25,210 --> 00:51:26,950
this assessment they are deemed unsafe

1260
00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:29,020
and hazardous to the public they also

1261
00:51:29,020 --> 00:51:30,640
contribute to blight within the city

1262
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,320
neighborhoods and gateways and may lead

1263
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,620
to decrease surrounding property values

1264
00:51:34,620 --> 00:51:36,520
additionally these structures can be

1265
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,380
hazardous tear your children and provide

1266
00:51:38,380 --> 00:51:39,940
havens for vagrants and drug use

1267
00:51:39,940 --> 00:51:42,010
attempts to locate the property owners

1268
00:51:42,010 --> 00:51:44,200
have proven unsuccessful due diligence

1269
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,000
has been performed and recorded in order

1270
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,800
to identify and contact all property

1271
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,750
owners all property owners have been

1272
00:51:49,750 --> 00:51:51,610
contacted by mail and given sufficient

1273
00:51:51,610 --> 00:51:53,500
response time to either correct property

1274
00:51:53,500 --> 00:51:56,070
issues or initiate demolition themselves

1275
00:51:56,070 --> 00:51:58,540
CDBG funding is being used to perform

1276
00:51:58,540 --> 00:52:01,180
demolitions those properties demolished

1277
00:52:01,180 --> 00:52:02,830
by the city will have liens filed for

1278
00:52:02,830 --> 00:52:04,930
the cost of the demo activities the

1279
00:52:04,930 --> 00:52:07,060
properties to be to be demolished are

1280
00:52:07,060 --> 00:52:09,880
804 Madison Street 808 Buckner Street

1281
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,790
and 105 East Mary Street the demolition

1282
00:52:12,790 --> 00:52:14,320
of these properties has been advertised

1283
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:15,670
in the Bristol Herald cougar and

1284
00:52:15,670 --> 00:52:17,980
licensed and insured contractors have

1285
00:52:17,980 --> 00:52:19,630
been solicited through a competitive bid

have one person signed up for public

1328
00:53:48,430 --> 00:53:55,839
comment and that is mr. Pollard Thank

1329
00:53:55,839 --> 00:53:57,310
You members of the council my name is

1330
00:53:57,310 --> 00:53:59,140
michael potter i live at 101 ashley

1331
00:53:59,140 --> 00:54:03,190
drive what's the total APR of the dead

1332
00:54:03,190 --> 00:54:05,770
including expenses I think it's three

1333
00:54:05,770 --> 00:54:07,300
point three nine percent if I'm not

1334
00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:09,250
mistaken I saw that was the interest

1335
00:54:09,250 --> 00:54:10,359
rate I didn't know if there were other

1336
00:54:10,359 --> 00:54:12,579
expenses beyond I think the other

1337
00:54:12,579 --> 00:54:15,099
expenses we'll be paying cash for okay

1338
00:54:15,099 --> 00:54:17,290
but that still goes to the total expense

1339
00:54:17,290 --> 00:54:20,650
total cost of a debt right I'm also

1340
00:54:20,650 --> 00:54:21,970
talking my head I can't tell you what

1341
00:54:21,970 --> 00:54:25,690
they BR is I know the rates 3.39 what's

1342
00:54:25,690 --> 00:54:28,960
the rate do you know of the that we're

1343
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,550
currently generating on investments

1344
00:54:30,550 --> 00:54:33,460
through the trial roughly two to two and

1345
00:54:33,460 --> 00:54:37,510
a half percent depending on today okay

1346
00:54:37,510 --> 00:54:42,160
so this would be costing as ruff roughly

1347
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,349
one a quarter percent more than what

1348
00:54:44,349 --> 00:54:47,460
would be generated laughlin okay

1349
00:54:47,460 --> 00:54:49,780
considering the city has the wherewithal

1350
00:54:49,780 --> 00:54:53,650
to pay cash I would recommend making the

1351
00:54:53,650 --> 00:54:55,599
best financial decision with a little

1352
00:54:55,599 --> 00:54:58,630
lowest total cost including opportunity

1353
00:54:58,630 --> 00:55:02,470
cost in this case it does seem that it

1354
00:55:02,470 --> 00:55:05,260
will would cost a little bit less to the

1355
00:55:05,260 --> 00:55:07,260
city to pay cash

1356
00:55:07,260 --> 00:55:11,369
rather than to get debt because you

1357
00:55:11,369 --> 00:55:13,440
little cost us about one half percent

1358
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,170
and I've heard no persuasive argument I

1359
00:55:16,170 --> 00:55:18,569
heard I've heard arguments but not what

1360
00:55:18,569 --> 00:55:19,799
I would consider the persuasive

1361
00:55:19,799 --> 00:55:22,710
arguments not to pay cash I would rather

1362
00:55:22,710 --> 00:55:25,200
do what will cost the city less thank

1363
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:29,250
you all right thank you very much so we

1364
00:55:29,250 --> 00:55:32,359
will close the hearing and item six is

1365
00:55:32,359 --> 00:55:34,559
resolution authorizing the issuance and

1366
00:55:34,559 --> 00:55:36,540
sale of general obligation notes of the

1367
00:55:36,540 --> 00:55:39,440
city of Bristol Virginia staff report I

1368
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,319
counsel this is the resolution that you

1369
00:55:43,319 --> 00:55:47,190
have before you in regards to allowing

1370
00:55:47,190 --> 00:55:49,500
us to borrow the funds for the purchase

1371
00:55:49,500 --> 00:55:52,049
of the building as of the previously

1372
00:55:52,049 --> 00:55:53,609
stated interest rates three point three

1373
00:55:53,609 --> 00:55:58,710
nine percent it's a 10-year note and we

1374
00:55:58,710 --> 00:56:00,270
have the ability to pay that note off

1375
00:56:00,270 --> 00:56:05,309
early as well all right thank you very

1376
00:56:05,309 --> 00:56:07,799
much so no one has signed up for public

1377
00:56:07,799 --> 00:56:10,740
comment on item six so reading of the

1378
00:56:10,740 --> 00:56:13,319
resolution I council ought to ask that

1379
00:56:13,319 --> 00:56:16,109
the motion be made that read this by

1380
00:56:16,109 --> 00:56:18,150
caption only it's been posted for

1381
00:56:18,150 --> 00:56:19,950
sufficient time and sufficient copies

1382
00:56:19,950 --> 00:56:20,940
have been made available to the public

1383
00:56:20,940 --> 00:56:25,980
so do we have a motion to read this by

1384
00:56:25,980 --> 00:56:31,079
caption only I would make that motion to

1385
00:56:31,079 --> 00:56:33,890
read the resolution by caption only

1386
00:56:33,890 --> 00:56:37,079
given the length of the resolution as

1387
00:56:37,079 --> 00:56:42,240
well as its availability second all

1388
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:44,400
right so we have a motion by the vice

1389
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,260
mayor and a second by mr. Farnum do we

1390
00:56:46,260 --> 00:56:48,329

1402
00:57:11,910 --> 00:57:14,520
looking for a motion in a second on the

00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,730
resolution

1404
00:57:16,730 --> 00:57:19,490
I move that we approve the resolution

1405
00:57:19,490 --> 00:57:26,510
adopt the resolution second okay so we

1406
00:57:26,510 --> 00:57:28,760
have a motion by mr. Farnum in a second

1407
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:33,250
by mr. Hartley Council discussion I

1408
00:57:33,250 --> 00:57:35,480
don't think his City needs to be going

1409
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,030
into any more debt we have the means to

1410
00:57:38,030 --> 00:57:39,770
pay cash for this building and get it

1411
00:57:39,770 --> 00:57:43,160
behind us and move on and to go into

1412
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,839
more debt right now it's just mm-hmm

1413
00:57:46,839 --> 00:57:51,740
it's not what this city needs everybody

1414
00:57:51,740 --> 00:57:53,599
knows our financial situation it was

1415
00:57:53,599 --> 00:57:58,250
spoke up tonight by Miss morning and we

1416
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:00,380
don't know the future everybody's

1417
00:58:00,380 --> 00:58:02,030
thinking there's one big apple gonna

1418
00:58:02,030 --> 00:58:05,210
drop them on this city and cure our

1419
00:58:05,210 --> 00:58:08,930
problems we don't know that that's gonna

1420
00:58:08,930 --> 00:58:13,640
happen we need to be diligent and we

1421
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:18,800
need to not go in any more debt when we

1422
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:23,089
have the month say where we can just

1423
00:58:23,089 --> 00:58:30,100
write a check for this

1424
00:58:30,110 --> 00:58:33,680
well we just we have discussed this

1425
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:37,490
previously but you know to me again part

1426
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:40,340
of that is not knowing the future and I

1427
00:58:40,340 --> 00:58:42,110
think right now it's important for us to

1428
00:58:42,110 --> 00:58:45,590
keep cash on hand because there's a lot

1429
00:58:45,590 --> 00:58:47,180
of other things for example with this

1430
00:58:47,180 --> 00:58:49,340
building we talked about we don't know

1431
00:58:49,340 --> 00:58:51,470
what the total costs for DSS to move

1432
00:58:51,470 --> 00:58:53,720
there is my understanding is the state

1433
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,030
will reimburse us for some of that we've

1434
00:58:56,030 --> 00:58:58,370
talked about potentially renovating the

1435
00:58:58,370 --> 00:59:00,470
building therein we have no idea what

1436
00:59:00,470 --> 00:59:04,430
the cost of that is or if we don't

1437
00:59:04,430 --> 00:59:07,250
whether it demolish it so there's other

1438
00:59:07,250 --> 00:59:10,340
expenses outside of just purchasing this

1439
00:59:10,340 --> 00:59:12,650
building that we need cash on hand there

1440
00:59:12,650 --> 00:59:14,750
are things that are continually coming

1441
00:59:14,750 --> 00:59:16,820
up to this council that haven't been

1442
00:59:16,820 --> 00:59:19,730
budgeted for that we need cash on hand

1443
00:59:19,730 --> 00:59:23,720
for I can think of several of those for

1444
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,870
example you know we need to do something

1445
00:59:26,870 --> 00:59:29,210
to the baseball stadium that's not been

1446
00:59:29,210 --> 00:59:31,550
budgeted for and all these things that

1447
00:59:31,550 --> 00:59:33,670
come up I mean there is a city manager

1448
00:59:33,670 --> 00:59:35,450
contingency but that's nowhere near

1449
00:59:35,450 --> 00:59:38,630
enough plus we need to be setting money

1450
00:59:38,630 --> 00:59:43,490
aside to deal with are coming debt and

1451
00:59:43,490 --> 00:59:47,270
other emergencies rainy day whatever we

1452
00:59:47,270 --> 00:59:48,620
want to call it

1453
00:59:48,620 --> 00:59:50,570
the thing I like about this it's a

1454
00:59:50,570 --> 00:59:53,510
10-year note but it's an early pay off

1455
00:59:53,510 --> 00:59:56,660
in the first payment if I'm not mistaken

1456
00:59:56,660 --> 00:59:59,540
mysteries isn't due until next year so

1457
00:59:59,540 --> 01:00:02,870
we can budget we should pay early and

1458
01:00:02,870 --> 01:00:05,420
pay this off if if we found ourselves in

1459
01:00:05,420 --> 01:00:07,790
I want to correct that right before this

1460
01:00:07,790 --> 01:00:10,070
meeting started we had some late

1461
01:00:10,070 --> 01:00:11,660
breaking news from bond council and

1462
01:00:11,660 --> 01:00:14,000
actually the first payment is going to

1463
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,510
be due 30 days after closing we'll do it

1464
01:00:17,510 --> 01:00:19,100
on a monthly basis and that's simply

1465
01:00:19,100 --> 01:00:20,750
because it's going to be a call as it

1466
01:00:20,750 --> 01:00:23,330
cost the city less to pay it on a

1467
01:00:23,330 --> 01:00:25,580
monthly basis and it will on a yearly

1468
01:00:25,580 --> 01:00:29,150
basis okay well it's but still yet if we

1469
01:00:29,150 --> 01:00:31,160
fund ourselves in a position at the end

1470
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,080
of the year I mean there's nothing

1471
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:34,580
preventing us from paying this off

1472
01:00:34,580 --> 01:00:38,960
earlier so you know buying them that the

1473
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,810
building up there you know is it needed

1474
01:00:41,810 --> 01:00:44,800
yes but I mean it came totally out of the blue it

1475
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:46,900
wasn't budgeted for this gives us time

1476
01:00:46,900 --> 01:00:49,480
to budget for that in the future and

1477
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,370
like I say if it looks like at some

1478
01:00:51,370 --> 01:00:53,890
point we're ahead we can do that but I

1479
01:00:53,890 --> 01:00:58,390
think right now that this would be the

1480
01:00:58,390 --> 01:01:01,410
best way I feel moving forward I

1481
01:01:01,410 --> 01:01:03,730
definitely agree with what what both of

1482
01:01:03,730 --> 01:01:06,160
you all are saying I see both sides of

1483
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,480
it and I've kind of been on both sides

1484
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,760
of this for a little bit at first I was

1485
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,980
on the side of okay we do have the cash

1486
01:01:11,980 --> 01:01:15,370
let's just write a check and buy it and

1487
01:01:15,370 --> 01:01:18,940
then I got to thinking more about well

1488
01:01:18,940 --> 01:01:20,590
when I got here I learned quickly about

1489
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:23,560
how much little cash the city had just a

1490
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,510
few years ago and how we've done a good

1491
01:01:25,510 --> 01:01:29,290
job of building that up and mr. Hartley

1492
01:01:29,290 --> 01:01:30,580
mentioned things like the baseball

1493
01:01:30,580 --> 01:01:32,080
stadium and we've been talking a lot

1494
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,500
about the schools and we can use a lot

1495
01:01:35,500 --> 01:01:38,350
of cash for things needed at the schools

1496
01:01:38,350 --> 01:01:41,140
we've also talked about the jail and the

1497
01:01:41,140 --> 01:01:44,950
upcoming debt payments associated with

1498
01:01:44,950 --> 01:01:47,590
the falls so you know I'm I'm not in

1499
01:01:47,590 --> 01:01:49,390
favor of borrowing you know 50 million

1500
01:01:49,390 --> 01:01:51,550
dollars to start up some kind of new

1501
01:01:51,550 --> 01:01:53,830
development but with this it's you know

1502
01:01:53,830 --> 01:01:55,960
six hundred and some thousand dollars we

1503
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,340
know roughly what our payment is going

1504
01:01:57,340 --> 01:02:00,160
to be we can always pay it off early and

1505
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:01,540
we've talked about some other ways we

1506
01:02:01,540 --> 01:02:03,820
can try to save in some other areas to

1507
01:02:03,820 --> 01:02:05,980
offset that yearly payment that we'll

1508
01:02:05,980 --> 01:02:09,640
have going forward so I'm on the side of

1509
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,530
the fence now you know we keep our cash

1510
01:02:11,530 --> 01:02:13,210
you know we hold on to it for

1511
01:02:13,210 --> 01:02:15,100
emergencies and for other things that

1512
01:02:15,100 --> 01:02:17,290
are coming up that we know about and we

1513
01:02:17,290 --> 01:02:19,540
just we get this building because it's

1514
01:02:19,540 --> 01:02:21,880
definitely an upgrade for the offices

1515
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,090
that these folks are currently in you

1516
01:02:25,090 --> 01:02:26,890
know I understand the allure of wanting

1517
01:02:26,890 --> 01:02:29,560
to pay cash for it but but kind of like

1518
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,270
mr. Farnum and mr. Hartley have said you

1519
01:02:31,270 --> 01:02:33,370
know you've got we have a finite amount

1520
01:02:33,370 --> 01:02:36,010
of money set aside for whether it be the

1521
01:02:36,010 --> 01:02:37,420
baseball field whether it be the jail

1522
01:02:37,420 --> 01:02:39,160
whether it be inmate housing costs

1523
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,350
increases or you know just the other day

1524
01:02:41,350 --> 01:02:43,660
we all of a sudden had 86,000 dollars

1525
01:02:43,660 --> 01:02:44,770
more we had to get into the school

1526
01:02:44,770 --> 01:02:46,690
system for for maintenance people that

1527
01:02:46,690 --> 01:02:47,980
we weren't expecting so there they're

1528
01:02:47,980 --> 01:02:50,440
always unexpected things that cannot be

1529
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:54,580
financed in in this case we have the

1530
01:02:54,580 --> 01:02:56,170
flexibility to be able to finance this

1531
01:02:56,170 --> 01:02:56,750
and it's it

1532
01:02:56,750 --> 01:02:58,310
not a large amount of money compared to

1533
01:02:58,310 --> 01:03:00,560
what we've what other councils have done

1534
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,050
in the past so so it makes the most

1535
01:03:03,050 --> 01:03:04,610
sense to me to be able to finance it and

1536
01:03:04,610 --> 01:03:06,320
must be able to keep this money on hand

1537
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,330
for projects in the future that we might

1538
01:03:08,330 --> 01:03:11,810
have that we cannot finance so so that's

1539
01:03:11,810 --> 01:03:14,960
where I'm at and you know I had had some

1540
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:16,280
concerns about buying the building to

1541
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:17,600
start with but you know it was a good

1542
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,940
opportunity for us to have it to upgrade

1543
01:03:19,940 --> 01:03:23,200
a city office that certainly needed and

1544
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,310
we've had some discussions about moving

1545
01:03:25,310 --> 01:03:26,810
a different City office to the social

1546
01:03:26,810 --> 01:03:28,160
services building so hopefully we'll be

1547
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:29,560
able to kill two birds with one stone

1548
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:34,430
with this so so I I think it's gonna be

1549
01:03:34,430 --> 01:03:35,360
good opportunity for us to move the

1550
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,700
office up there and I think we should go

1551
01:03:37,700 --> 01:03:40,810
ahead and do the do the financing on it

1552
01:03:40,810 --> 01:03:45,560
is there any other discussion I just

1553
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,570
once again I'm say it's a mistake adding

1554
01:03:47,570 --> 01:03:49,790
to the debt we're already paying how

1555
01:03:49,790 --> 01:03:51,830
many millions a year right now just in

1556
01:03:51,830 --> 01:03:56,600
interest just in interest no principle

1557
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,550
it's over two million dollars am I

1558
01:03:58,550 --> 01:04:01,010
correct on that yes and we are going to

1559
01:04:01,010 --> 01:04:04,730
add to that now if we was a physically

1560
01:04:04,730 --> 01:04:08,120
responsible responsible City what could

1561
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,390
we be doing with two additional million

1562
01:04:11,390 --> 01:04:14,860
dollars that we are just squandering on

1563
01:04:14,860 --> 01:04:19,130
interest because of bad decisions and

1564
01:04:19,130 --> 01:04:23,960
we're going to add to that tonight it's

1565
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,079
not the right thing

1566
01:04:26,079 --> 01:04:29,990
it's not right but I would you know none

1567
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:31,609
of us up here got us into that extra two

1568
01:04:31,609 --> 01:04:33,940
million dollars I'd say that first

1569
01:04:33,940 --> 01:04:36,109
what's the interest going to cost us

1570
01:04:36,109 --> 01:04:37,430
additional what are we going to be

1571
01:04:37,430 --> 01:04:38,960
paying additional with interest here to

1572
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,779
finance this as opposed to buying it do

1573
01:04:41,779 --> 01:04:44,299
run that by me again so with the

1574
01:04:44,299 --> 01:04:46,430
interest that you know we're financing

1575
01:04:46,430 --> 01:04:48,710
we're paying the three point three nine

1576
01:04:48,710 --> 01:04:50,630
percent interest group how much

1577
01:04:50,630 --> 01:04:52,670
additional are we paying for this

1578
01:04:52,670 --> 01:04:54,500
building over two but we just wrote a

1579
01:04:54,500 --> 01:05:01,789
check for $600 it's ten years at three

1580
01:05:01,789 --> 01:05:04,039
would three point three nine three point

1581
01:05:04,039 --> 01:05:06,700
three nine

1582
01:05:06,700 --> 01:05:09,019
the building's going to cost us seven

1583
01:05:09,019 --> 01:05:10,460
hundred and sixty seven thousand two

1584
01:05:10,460 --> 01:05:13,460
hundred ninety six dollars and that is

1585
01:05:13,460 --> 01:05:15,380
total interest of another hundred and

1586
01:05:15,380 --> 01:05:16,910
seventeen thousand two hundred and

1587
01:05:16,910 --> 01:05:18,650
ninety six dollars and ninety-six cents

1588
01:05:18,650 --> 01:05:20,119
over the course of the life and the odds

1589
01:05:20,119 --> 01:05:21,500
of us paying it off early

1590
01:05:21,500 --> 01:05:23,599
it's slimmed and then localities do not

1591
01:05:23,599 --> 01:05:27,769
work like that let's say give it to you

1592
01:05:27,769 --> 01:05:29,480
so six eleven and there was three point

1593
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,849
three million well I was gonna say you

1594
01:05:31,849 --> 01:05:33,619
know if we finance it now and we hold on

1595
01:05:33,619 --> 01:05:35,569
to our cash you know if it's a case

1596
01:05:35,569 --> 01:05:38,119
where it's a 10-year note we possibly

1597
01:05:38,119 --> 01:05:39,799
revisit at the end of this fiscal year

1598
01:05:39,799 --> 01:05:41,480
in the next fiscal year depending on if

1599
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,309
we have a good year or a bad year we

1600
01:05:43,309 --> 01:05:44,480
have good years we could look at making

1601
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,400
additional principal payments to it and

1602
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,049
we don't have to take ten years to pay

1603
01:05:48,049 --> 01:05:49,339
it off and pay all that interest maybe

1604
01:05:49,339 --> 01:05:51,410
we pay it off in three years or four

1605
01:05:51,410 --> 01:05:59,630
years or something like that plan to be

1606
01:05:59,630 --> 01:06:01,400
more physically responsible we wouldn't

1607
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:02,869
be financing the whole entire dollar

1608
01:06:02,869 --> 01:06:05,299
amount we would be setting aside X

1609
01:06:05,299 --> 01:06:07,309
dollar to pay down on it and then

1610
01:06:07,309 --> 01:06:10,730
finance a number with a plan to pay it

1611
01:06:10,730 --> 01:06:12,950
off in three to five years but to go

1612
01:06:12,950 --> 01:06:15,849
into this one hundred percent financing

1613
01:06:15,849 --> 01:06:19,160
it is not gonna be paid off anytime soon

1614
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:20,990
but we there are still gonna be

1615
01:06:20,990 --> 01:06:23,000
additional cost around this whole

1616
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:24,920
project this whole project just come up

1617
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:26,960
out of the blue it wasn't discussed

1618
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,359
during any of the budget it just come up

1619
01:06:29,359 --> 01:06:31,700
out of the blue I'm not saying it's it's

1620
01:06:31,700 --> 01:06:34,009
bad that it's not needed but I mean

1621
01:06:34,009 --> 01:06:36,259
there if you want to be responsible you

1622
01:06:36,259 --> 01:06:38,150
talk about these things in budget form

1623
01:06:38,150 --> 01:06:38,460
there

1624
01:06:38,460 --> 01:06:40,200
the budget process that's all these

1625
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,930
things that are popping up is what while

1626
01:06:42,930 --> 01:06:45,570
we need this extra cash on hand because

1627
01:06:45,570 --> 01:06:47,250
there are things that haven't been

1628
01:06:47,250 --> 01:06:48,990
accounted for and you can't account for

1629
01:06:48,990 --> 01:06:51,150
everything you said that yourself just

1630
01:06:51,150 --> 01:06:53,310
if you meant to game so that's why we

1631
01:06:53,310 --> 01:06:55,560
need this it I think you know we can

1632
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,760
look back at this later and see but you

1633
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,520
know I mean I first starts thinking yeah

1634
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,290
maybe put down a little bit of money but

1635
01:07:04,290 --> 01:07:05,700
if you're going to go in and try to

1636
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:07,820
renovate that for other offices

1637
01:07:07,820 --> 01:07:10,470
what's that cost you can't borrow that

1638
01:07:10,470 --> 01:07:12,150
money that you've got to pay for that in

1639
01:07:12,150 --> 01:07:14,970
cash so where's that coming from

1640
01:07:14,970 --> 01:07:18,599
I mean I think when this opportunity

1641
01:07:18,599 --> 01:07:21,119
came up to buy the building in all five

1642
01:07:21,119 --> 01:07:22,680
of us I think we agreed that the

1643
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:24,510
building was a good deal and it's

1644
01:07:24,510 --> 01:07:26,280
definitely an upgrade for those offices

1645
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:27,720
and but the one thing I just keep

1646
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,190
thinking about as far as how to pay for

1647
01:07:29,190 --> 01:07:30,869
it is I keep because we've been talking

1648
01:07:30,869 --> 01:07:32,490
about it a lot I think about the schools

1649
01:07:32,490 --> 01:07:36,780
and upcoming expenses with what needs to

1650
01:07:36,780 --> 01:07:38,250
be done in our current school buildings

1651
01:07:38,250 --> 01:07:39,240
and we've been talking about the

1652
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,339
elementary schools but also the middle

1653
01:07:41,339 --> 01:07:43,380
school in the high school so that's kind

1654
01:07:43,380 --> 01:07:44,880
of why I'm on the side of the fence of

1655
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,109
hanging onto our cash just because of

1656
01:07:46,109 --> 01:07:52,740
some of those unknowns coming up soon

1657
01:07:52,750 --> 01:07:57,070
there's any other discussion all right I

1658
01:07:57,070 --> 01:07:58,380
call the roll please

1659
01:07:58,380 --> 01:08:04,330
Farnum yes Winegard hartley yes I was

1660
01:08:04,330 --> 01:08:06,910
born yes all right

1661
01:08:06,910 --> 01:08:08,800
item seven release from performance

1662
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,599
agreement contractual obligations for

1663
01:08:10,599 --> 01:08:13,450
studio brew staff report a counsel

1664
01:08:13,450 --> 01:08:15,130
before I even get into the staff report

1665
01:08:15,130 --> 01:08:16,719
I want to address performance agreements

1666
01:08:16,719 --> 01:08:19,509
in general first and foremost

1667
01:08:19,509 --> 01:08:22,109
performance agreements do have a place

1668
01:08:22,109 --> 01:08:24,700
for localities to use and be able to

1669
01:08:24,700 --> 01:08:27,730
leverage certain advantages maybe over

1670
01:08:27,730 --> 01:08:31,870
another locality to get a business to

1671
01:08:31,870 --> 01:08:33,640
your own City as compared to going to a

1672
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,310
neighboring city we have discussed

1673
01:08:36,310 --> 01:08:38,410
performance agreements at length with ID

1674
01:08:38,410 --> 01:08:40,330
a we've discussed it internally with

1675
01:08:40,330 --> 01:08:42,100
Council I'm discussing internally with

1676
01:08:42,100 --> 01:08:45,160
staff performance agreements should be

1677
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,989
used when we can have an attraction of

1678
01:08:48,989 --> 01:08:52,779
regional impact and when I say regional

1679
01:08:52,779 --> 01:08:56,890
impact I don't mean the Falls and but we

1680
01:08:56,890 --> 01:08:58,870
have to use these performance agreements

1681
01:08:58,870 --> 01:09:01,739
sparingly and wisely

1682
01:09:01,739 --> 01:09:04,600
none of us sitting here tonight were a

1683
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:05,739
part of the performance agreement

1684
01:09:05,739 --> 01:09:08,350
procedures back and when this took place

1685
01:09:08,350 --> 01:09:12,339
and because this performance agreement

1686
01:09:12,339 --> 01:09:14,469
that was entered into on June the 27th

1687
01:09:14,469 --> 01:09:17,799
2014 I think that was prior to mr.

1688
01:09:17,799 --> 01:09:24,520
Hartley's term here as well so from this

1689
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,040
point forward and I've been looking at

1690
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,319
them differently for years now we have

1691
01:09:29,319 --> 01:09:30,759
positioned ourselves in previous

1692
01:09:30,759 --> 01:09:32,290
performance agreements live in here

1693
01:09:32,290 --> 01:09:34,390
specifically with American merchants off

1694
01:09:34,390 --> 01:09:35,739
the top of my head that we've protected

1695
01:09:35,739 --> 01:09:38,170
the city and the various means either to

1696
01:09:38,170 --> 01:09:40,000
do deeds of trust or through performance

1697
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:44,410
bonds that the entity has to obtain in

1698
01:09:44,410 --> 01:09:46,620
order to protect the city

1699
01:09:46,620 --> 01:09:48,940
this performance agreement that's before

1700
01:09:48,940 --> 01:09:52,630
you tonight is for studio bird studio

1701
01:09:52,630 --> 01:09:54,570
brew has been an integral part in the

1702
01:09:54,570 --> 01:09:56,489
revitalization of downtown Bristol

1703
01:09:56,489 --> 01:10:00,340
they've took a building that was and I

1704
01:10:00,340 --> 01:10:03,219
won't say disrepair but was in pretty

1705
01:10:03,219 --> 01:10:04,630
bad shape and they've turned it into a

1706
01:10:04,630 --> 01:10:06,070
very nice building very nice

1707
01:10:06,070 --> 01:10:08,199
business something that city of Bristol

1708
01:10:08,199 --> 01:10:11,079
can be proud of and tonight they are

1709
01:10:11,079 --> 01:10:12,820
asking that this council release them

1710
01:10:12,820 --> 01:10:15,280
from the performance agreement this

1711
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:16,690
performance agreement as a stated

1712
01:10:16,690 --> 01:10:19,650
earlier was signed on June 2 27 to 2014

1713
01:10:19,650 --> 01:10:21,849
however the term did not commence until

1714
01:10:21,849 --> 01:10:24,699
November the 20th of 2015 when they

1715
01:10:24,699 --> 01:10:26,280
opened their doors for business

1716
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,560
the term was for five years which will

1717
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,730
expire on November the 20th of 2015 with

1718
01:10:33,730 --> 01:10:35,320
this release of the performance

1719
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:36,699
agreement they have an opportunity to

1720
01:10:36,699 --> 01:10:38,469
diversify their business model to be

1721
01:10:38,469 --> 01:10:40,000
more competitive within the craft beer

1722
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,520
and soda industry in order to get the

1723
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:44,139
necessary funds to diversify their

1724
01:10:44,139 --> 01:10:45,489
business they have requested to be

1725
01:10:45,489 --> 01:10:47,199
released from this agreement with the

1726
01:10:47,199 --> 01:10:50,020
city bvu authority has agreed to release

1727
01:10:50,020 --> 01:10:51,610
them contingent upon the city and the

1728
01:10:51,610 --> 01:10:54,639
ITA releasing them from the agreement BB

1729
01:10:54,639 --> 01:10:57,099
you voted for o to release them the ITA

1730
01:10:57,099 --> 01:10:59,860
voted 5-1 to release them what's

1731
01:10:59,860 --> 01:11:01,750
important to note here in your packet

1732
01:11:01,750 --> 01:11:05,290
I've included several conditions that we

1733
01:11:05,290 --> 01:11:07,989
have asked the studio brew a crow spire

1734
01:11:07,989 --> 01:11:10,900
and Pam and Eric Allen to agree to in

1735
01:11:10,900 --> 01:11:14,560
order for that release we met late this

1736
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,739
afternoon once again to try to nail down

1737
01:11:17,739 --> 01:11:22,110
some points in regards to this

1738
01:11:22,110 --> 01:11:24,909
obligation that they would now acquire

1739
01:11:24,909 --> 01:11:26,829
for the remainder of the performance

1740
01:11:26,829 --> 01:11:28,780
agreement one thing that they're

1741
01:11:28,780 --> 01:11:30,579
concerned about was whether or not the

1742
01:11:30,579 --> 01:11:33,369
city wanted to have any say-so in the

1743
01:11:33,369 --> 01:11:36,550
daily operations the management or any

1744
01:11:36,550 --> 01:11:38,349
say-so over any type of transaction that

1745
01:11:38,349 --> 01:11:40,810
they may have I assured them that this

1746
01:11:40,810 --> 01:11:42,699
city has done a bad enough job getting

1747
01:11:42,699 --> 01:11:43,929
into businesses that we should have

1748
01:11:43,929 --> 01:11:45,369
never been involved with to begin with

1749
01:11:45,369 --> 01:11:47,290
and the last thing that we want to do is

1750
01:11:47,290 --> 01:11:49,409
be involved with a brewery or soda

1751
01:11:49,409 --> 01:11:53,070
manufacturer so you have a list of

1752
01:11:53,070 --> 01:11:56,170
obligations that Miss Allen and mr.

1753
01:11:56,170 --> 01:11:59,889
Allen have agreed to the only change is

1754
01:11:59,889 --> 01:12:04,150
items see gallons must allow the city to

1755
01:12:04,150 --> 01:12:05,739
review any documentation of the outside

1756
01:12:05,739 --> 01:12:08,500
investment transaction we had an

1757
01:12:08,500 --> 01:12:11,290
internal discussion today basically they

1758
01:12:11,290 --> 01:12:12,760
have provided me already with the

1759
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,440
necessary information that I need that I

1760
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:16,150
feel comfortable with at this point and

1761
01:12:16,150 --> 01:12:18,369
we would also add that the city does not

1762
01:12:18,369 --> 01:12:20,070
intend

1763
01:12:20,070 --> 01:12:23,590
to have any authority or decision-making

1764
01:12:23,590 --> 01:12:31,180
capability for studio bird alright thank

1765
01:12:31,180 --> 01:12:33,640
you very much so no one has signed up

1766
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,680
for public comment so I'm looking for a

1767
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,210
motion and a second

1768
01:12:37,210 --> 01:12:40,360
would your motion be to release the

1769
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,890
performance agreement with adding the

1770
01:12:43,890 --> 01:12:46,840
contractual obligations in this addendum

1771
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:48,820
with the change you just mentioned in

1772
01:12:48,820 --> 01:12:54,190
item 3c that's great okay I make a

1773
01:12:54,190 --> 01:12:58,300
motion for that I'll second that

1774
01:12:58,300 --> 01:13:01,510
okay so motion for that is for mr.

1775
01:13:01,510 --> 01:13:04,810
Farnum and second is for mr. Hartley and

1776
01:13:04,810 --> 01:13:07,920
council discussion

1777
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:11,110
well I've mentioned this before the side

1778
01:13:11,110 --> 01:13:12,880
of the fence I'm on is since I've been

1779
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,400
here and not just with this situation

1780
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:17,500
but with everything you know I just

1781
01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:20,350
wanted to say you know what what can we

1782
01:13:20,350 --> 01:13:24,130
hear what can we do to help weather that

1783
01:13:24,130 --> 01:13:25,360
sometimes getting involved with

1784
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,040
something or sometimes it's stepping out

1785
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:28,330
of the way for something what can we do

1786
01:13:28,330 --> 01:13:30,340
to help and in this case it's a local

1787
01:13:30,340 --> 01:13:35,890
business you know the goal is to and I

1788
01:13:35,890 --> 01:13:37,510
read the you know the quote in the paper

1789
01:13:37,510 --> 01:13:38,980
how the markets kind of changed a little

1790
01:13:38,980 --> 01:13:40,450
bit and they have some ideas of what

1791
01:13:40,450 --> 01:13:44,530
they can do to continue to grow and I

1792
01:13:44,530 --> 01:13:48,460
think us this is not really us you know

1793
01:13:48,460 --> 01:13:50,200
stepping in but in a way for us stepping

1794
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:51,760
out and giving them some more

1795
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,860
flexibility to do what they need to do

1796
01:13:53,860 --> 01:13:58,930
so if that's in a way helping I think it

1797
01:13:58,930 --> 01:14:00,370
could be viewed as a good thing where

1798
01:14:00,370 --> 01:14:01,870
we're also still protecting the

1799
01:14:01,870 --> 01:14:03,970
interests of the city with with some of

1800
01:14:03,970 --> 01:14:08,170
the language we've added in here and is

1801
01:14:08,170 --> 01:14:10,510
that something the city wants to get

1802
01:14:10,510 --> 01:14:12,580
into involved with a agreement like this

1803
01:14:12,580 --> 01:14:18,670
with every business no but but we're already in it here and you know

1804
01:14:18,670 --> 01:14:21,659
there's a certain certain

1805
01:14:21,659 --> 01:14:24,239
benefit it's kind of hard to measure but

1806
01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:26,340
this particular business is a business

1807
01:14:26,340 --> 01:14:28,980
that provides something in downtown and

1808
01:14:28,980 --> 01:14:33,030
Bristol food drink nightlife you know

1809
01:14:33,030 --> 01:14:35,070
we've worked really hard to revitalize

1810
01:14:35,070 --> 01:14:37,860
our downtown area so it's definitely

1811
01:14:37,860 --> 01:14:39,630
hard to to measure what that's worth but

1812
01:14:39,630 --> 01:14:42,179
it's definitely something that if we can

1813
01:14:42,179 --> 01:14:46,889
help them grow and you know I see this

1814
01:14:46,889 --> 01:14:48,420
is a good thing hopefully this is

1815
01:14:48,420 --> 01:14:51,750
helping and we can all enjoy what this

1816
01:14:51,750 --> 01:14:55,250
business provides for many years to come

1817
01:14:55,250 --> 01:14:57,870
also when they clear that maybe it's

1818
01:14:57,870 --> 01:14:59,630
probably made clear to the public but

1819
01:14:59,630 --> 01:15:02,880
part of this agreement would require a

1820
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,909
Crow's fire studio back respire LLC

1821
01:15:05,909 --> 01:15:09,150
studio Barilla C and Pam and Eric Allen

1822
01:15:09,150 --> 01:15:13,350
to repay if certain things happen within

1823
01:15:13,350 --> 01:15:15,540
the business or the business fails to

1824
01:15:15,540 --> 01:15:18,659
operate through November 20th of 2020 it

1825
01:15:18,659 --> 01:15:21,449
would require them to pay back 20% of

1826
01:15:21,449 --> 01:15:22,949
what the tax assessed value of the

1827
01:15:22,949 --> 01:15:25,409
building was and when they received it

1828
01:15:25,409 --> 01:15:27,210
back in 2014 which was one hundred

1829
01:15:27,210 --> 01:15:28,290
ninety eight thousand three hundred

1830
01:15:28,290 --> 01:15:30,750
dollars and twenty percent of the

1831
01:15:30,750 --> 01:15:33,150
$80,000 in cash that the city provided

1832
01:15:33,150 --> 01:15:35,310
to them that's a total of about fifty

1833
01:15:35,310 --> 01:15:38,370
five thousand dollars that would be that

1834
01:15:38,370 --> 01:15:41,429
they're on the hook for and the reason I

1835
01:15:41,429 --> 01:15:43,139
came to that conclusion was they

1836
01:15:43,139 --> 01:15:46,710
performed 80% roughly other performance

1837
01:15:46,710 --> 01:15:48,960
agreement so far they've got roughly 20

1838
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:52,770
percent less left and so that's 20

1839
01:15:52,770 --> 01:15:55,620
percent of what was initially given unto

1840
01:15:55,620 --> 01:15:59,159
him by the city yeah and and to me you

1841
01:15:59,159 --> 01:16:01,860
know one I first appreciate Allen's that

1842
01:16:01,860 --> 01:16:04,050
what they've done with that business it

1843
01:16:04,050 --> 01:16:06,000
was building its that there for a very

1844
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,570
long time in and really done a great job

1845
01:16:09,570 --> 01:16:11,780
renovating it and restoring it and

1846
01:16:11,780 --> 01:16:15,060
moving kind of the downtown activity

1847
01:16:15,060 --> 01:16:18,060
more away from State Street back that

1848
01:16:18,060 --> 01:16:20,850
way so I appreciate that

1849
01:16:20,850 --> 01:16:24,360
I would say to their concern only speak

1850
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,600
for myself but you know we we don't want

1851
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,310
to get involved in fact we want to kind

1852
01:16:29,310 --> 01:16:31,350
of get out of the way to let you do what

1853
01:16:31,350 --> 01:16:31,590
you

1854
01:16:31,590 --> 01:16:35,790
doing but is mysteries pointed out we do

1855
01:16:35,790 --> 01:16:38,040
want to kind of still maintain that and

1856
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,190
I think that's a fair compromise you

1857
01:16:41,190 --> 01:16:46,679
know for other than time you've met the everything in the agreement so to

1858
01:16:46,679 --> 01:16:50,130
kind of prorate it I know a lot of if

1859
01:16:50,130 --> 01:16:52,139
you get money from federal money from

1860
01:16:52,139 --> 01:16:54,179
the a or C or different places like that

1861
01:16:54,179 --> 01:16:56,070
there they have those clawback

1862
01:16:56,070 --> 01:16:57,840
provisions but they prorated them over

1863
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,179
time so I think that's there and

1864
01:17:00,179 --> 01:17:03,080
hopefully this will allow you all to

1865
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:05,489
continue to grow and expand in a

1866
01:17:05,489 --> 01:17:07,230
different direction here in downtown

1867
01:17:07,230 --> 01:17:11,010
I want to thank I think the city

1868
01:17:11,010 --> 01:17:12,510
manager's office for their work on this

1869
01:17:12,510 --> 01:17:14,130
and think they think the Allens for

1870
01:17:14,130 --> 01:17:16,770
their investment in Bristol I know I ran

1871
01:17:16,770 --> 01:17:18,469
into you the other day in the hall and I

1872
01:17:18,469 --> 01:17:20,699
wouldn't shut up about the mystery pizza

1873
01:17:20,699 --> 01:17:22,110
y'all have on your menu which is

1874
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,090
fantastic and all I'll keep coming and

1875
01:17:24,090 --> 01:17:25,139
getting it you know even though we're

1876
01:17:25,139 --> 01:17:28,260
not involved now yeah I think this is I

1877
01:17:28,260 --> 01:17:31,770
think this just makes sense you know for us to be kind of backing off from

1878
01:17:31,770 --> 01:17:34,610
being involved in these type of

1879
01:17:34,610 --> 01:17:37,050
agreements as much as we can and it

1880
01:17:37,050 --> 01:17:38,340
makes sense for you all obviously from

1881
01:17:38,340 --> 01:17:39,989
business standpoint to be able to

1882
01:17:39,989 --> 01:17:42,060
hopefully diversify what you do and and

1883
01:17:42,060 --> 01:17:45,659
you know further your business so so I

1884
01:17:45,659 --> 01:17:47,340
look forward to us passing this here in

1885
01:17:47,340 --> 01:17:50,580
just a moment other discussion I was

1886
01:17:50,580 --> 01:17:52,969
just gonna say I was excited too about

1887
01:17:52,969 --> 01:17:54,810
well first of all you know what's

1888
01:17:54,810 --> 01:17:56,489
happened like you said they've taken an

1889
01:17:56,489 --> 01:17:58,230
old building and they fixed it up and

1890
01:17:58,230 --> 01:18:01,139
they are open for business so they

1891
01:18:01,139 --> 01:18:03,750
provide jobs and they also produce tax

1892
01:18:03,750 --> 01:18:06,389
revenue to the city so for all of that

1893
01:18:06,389 --> 01:18:08,610
thank you thank you for believing in

1894
01:18:08,610 --> 01:18:11,219
Bristol Virginia and and I was excited

1895
01:18:11,219 --> 01:18:13,260
about hearing about you know kind of

1896
01:18:13,260 --> 01:18:16,020
what the next steps are this my

1897
01:18:16,020 --> 01:18:17,699
understanding is it's the products of

1898
01:18:17,699 --> 01:18:19,400
the root beer and the cream soda and

1899
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,830
distribution and I'd love to be able to

1900
01:18:22,830 --> 01:18:25,349
have people all over the place pick up

1901
01:18:25,349 --> 01:18:26,880
and see that label it says Made in

1902
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:28,980
Bristol Virginia so I think that's a

1903
01:18:28,980 --> 01:18:30,530
good thing for us

1904
01:18:30,530 --> 01:18:33,780
