[1:00:11] Does anyone wish to address?
[1:00:37] » Come on.
[1:01:12] Memphis council, we have before you this
evening your quarterly white elimination
[1:01:18] program update. Want to give you a few
highlights from this program, how we
[1:01:23] have progressed since quarter one, your
last update in March. Want to This
[1:01:28] presentation with a look at residential
growth. Uh I want to present this to you
[1:01:32] with each one of our black presentations
to give you an idea of what growth is
[1:01:35] doing right now as far as residential is
concerned within the community. Um we
[1:01:40] started this year on a on a record pace.
Last year was a record pace and the year
[1:01:44] before that was a record pace. Uh you
can see the uh light blue uh line. You
[1:01:51] see we had a bit of a down month in the
month of May. We didn't issue a ton of
[1:01:54] permits and so actually we got a little
bit behind the pace of where last year
[1:01:58] is. Expect that's probably a bit of an
anomaly but expect that will probably
[1:02:04] resume the pace that has been going on.
Uh but nonetheless keep in mind we're
[1:02:10] still at a record pace growth u all the
way up until the end of last month this
[1:02:16] month.
Like I said, we anticipate that that
[1:02:20] line moving direction has you can see
even last year there were there were a
[1:02:26] few months in June and July that uh that
leveled off. So that's not unexpected.
[1:02:32] Um but nonetheless, just want to give
you an idea of what growth is looking
[1:02:35] like as of beginning of this month. So
why elimination program just to give you
[1:02:42] a little little bit of review, we do
have an ordinance that um that deals
[1:02:45] with dangerous buildings in the and
establishes them as public nuisances
[1:02:50] requires abatement. Um, of course, the
intent is to create a safer and more
[1:02:56] pleasing community through the
remediation and demolition of these
[1:03:00] unsafe structures in the community. So,
the objective of the program objective
[1:03:05] is to eliminate white in the community.
Uh, we also through eliminating white
[1:03:10] look to ensure structural stability and
integrity of all of our structures that
[1:03:15] we have within the community whether res
commercial or industrial. And through
[1:03:19] this program, we do hope to establish
and cultivate a healthy relationship
[1:03:23] with public, not just with those owners
that we are dealing with uh who have
[1:03:27] these dangerous buildings, but also with
those other property owners within the
[1:03:32] community who invest so much on a daily
basis in this community and in their
[1:03:36] property.
[1:03:46] Okay.
So pie chart here uh this is an update
[1:03:51] from your first quarter here and you can
see the uh the kind of teal color shows
[1:03:56] the number of properties that we have
within the city initiative itself. You
[1:04:01] can see from first quarter second
quarter we went from 77 units down to 68
[1:04:06] units. But if you look at the orange
there, you see that 53 units in reme in
[1:04:12] the remediated category increased to 61
units in the second quarter. So we have
[1:04:18] uh we have remediate remediated some of
the structures and I'll go through with
[1:04:22] you some of those properties that
specifically have been remediated in
[1:04:25] second quarter of this year.
[1:04:30] All right. So uh go back Jonathan
um
[1:04:36] two programs that we use to demolish
structures. One's city initiative and
[1:04:42] the second is CDBG. CDBG is a voluntary
program uh requires owners to give us
[1:04:48] the right of access and um allows us to
be able to dedicate uh those funds that
[1:04:55] are designated by the state to demolish
those properties and ultimately bring
[1:05:00] those properties into compliance. Uh you
can see on here the CDBG program phase
[1:05:06] one uh nine properties phase two 10
properties. We updated you in the first
[1:05:11] quarter on some of those properties that
had have been demolished uh in or
[1:05:16] through that particular program. You can
see phase three is developing. We're
[1:05:19] close to close to being able to allocate
funds
[1:05:30] of the CDBG program, the voluntary
program that designates the state funds
[1:05:35] to properties. But the other is the city
initiative. That's the program that is
[1:05:40] supported by the ordinance that you all
have adopted to establish those
[1:05:45] dangerous buildings and establish the
process for abading them. So, city
[1:05:50] initiative phases one and two. Um, I'm
happy to report to you tonight that
[1:05:55] these are some of the first buildings
that have been demolished as a part of
[1:06:00] the city initiative program. So phases
one and two uh we have um I believe it's
[1:06:07] eight seven or eight structures that
specifically have been demolished. So
[1:06:10] I'll start with here 07 drive
100 Dixie Drive apartment 73 through 80.
[1:06:18] Some of you will be familiar with these
properties specifically, but these are
[1:06:21] before and after photos that that we
have for each. 204 West Adam Street,
[1:06:31] 208 Wilkerson Street,
[1:06:37] 402 Geneva Highway. You can see that's
the same building on the far left of the
[1:06:43] before photo and then the building that
you can see clearly in the after photo.
[1:06:47] Um those are that's the same building
but uh obviously the building in front
[1:06:52] of the four of the foroto you can see
where it used to be
[1:06:57] 501 West Adam Street
[1:07:04] 430 Daleville Avenue
[1:07:09] and that's that's actually the
conclusion of the city initiative
[1:07:13] properties that were removed. The last
one that I wanted to show to you is 143
[1:07:18] South Carol. That is one that uh we
missed in the last presentation to you,
[1:07:24] but wanted to make sure you were aware
that that one had been remediated as
[1:07:27] well as a part of the CBG program uh in
phase two of that program.
[1:07:38] All right. So current statuses, city
demo initiative phase one. The
[1:07:43] anticipated completion of the project is
July 2026. We've got one property left
[1:07:49] in that particular phase that we're um
that we are looking to move forward with
[1:07:54] demolition on. Uh and that project will
be complete or that phase will be
[1:07:58] complete. Phase two, we have uh one or
two properties there that still need to
[1:08:04] be uh fully demolished before that is
complete. We would anticipate
[1:08:08] participate uh that will be completed
soon as well. Uh phase three, you can
[1:08:14] see 15 units haven't been identified as
dilapidated. Uh only one has been
[1:08:19] demolished. Uh as best as testing has
been completed and I can tell you as
[1:08:24] well that we are looking to put those
properties out for bid for demolition
[1:08:29] here within the next week or two. Uh
phase four you're all familiar with. At
[1:08:34] your last meeting, you actually
identified all of those properties as
[1:08:38] being dilapidated. It um impacted 16
different buildings and specifically 42
[1:08:46] different residential units. So, those
were all declared as nuisances on um at
[1:08:52] your last meeting on June 2nd.
We are in a bit of a 20-day period which
[1:08:57] we're not taking any action but we will
be uh coming back to those within the
[1:09:01] next week or two to keep those
properties moving forward as well. We
[1:09:06] are anticipating remediation plans on
some of those uh partic particular
[1:09:12] properties. Uh but we are continuous
communication with those property owners
[1:09:18] on uh some of those issues that they
have. And then finally phase five You've
[1:09:23] not seen this before. Uh we are
currently in the process of of
[1:09:28] identifying a list probably around 15
structures is what we will end up coming
[1:09:33] up with uh to implement phase five of
the city's demo initiative program. And
[1:09:39] we are looking at beginning the
beginning that particular phase in third
[1:09:45] quarter. So we will be bringing some of
that information back to you as soon as
[1:09:48] we can.
[1:09:52] And that should be
all that I have. I'll take any questions
[1:09:57] that you have.
[1:10:06] Thank you.
[1:10:32] Moving to old business. I call for a
public hearing consideration ordinance
[1:10:40] providing for
[1:10:49] resist.
[1:11:05] Mr. Chairman, um staff report for you
for this particular reasoning request.
[1:11:10] This is a request by Cynthy Cington
Scott. We're re looking to reszone from
[1:11:15] R2 medium density uh single family
residential to B1 uh business district
[1:11:21] on this location.
[1:11:25] Subject property map. You can see where
this is. It's on the eastern portion of
[1:11:30] the city limits along US 84. You can see
the um the top left portion of that map.
[1:11:36] You can see where Cottonville Road comes
in. So you have some of that commercial
[1:11:40] area that's right there at that
intersection like Copper and I believe
[1:11:44] there's a uh antique store there as well
if I remember correctly. Um so there is
[1:11:49] some commercial businesses but this
would be directly across the street
[1:11:52] where Cington Street is. Everybody know
where we're talking about?
[1:12:03] moving forward. So, our current zoning
is R2. Proposed zoning is B1. And we do
[1:12:09] have B1 and A2 and R2 immediately to the
north. We have R2 to the west and south
[1:12:15] and then R2 in Coffee County,
specifically to the east. Uh we did send
[1:12:21] out four letters to adjacent property
owners. Uh we did receive one comment
[1:12:25] from a property owner from a neighboring
property owner who was in support of
[1:12:29] this particular request. Uh use of the
property uh is a residential building at
[1:12:35] this time. You can see the zoning map
and what the zoning looks like here. You
[1:12:39] can see this adjacent to US84 and you
can see some of that B1 zoning that's
[1:12:43] across US84, but this is very close to
the city boundary line itself.
[1:12:50] So if we're reszoning from R2 to B1, you
need to know what the intents of each
[1:12:55] zoning district are. Uh purpose of this
district of R2 is to provide
[1:15:08] USA
is a target area for future annation
[1:15:12] including future businesses along the
highway corridor itself. And the comp
[1:15:17] plan also does anticipate business
growth along those major corridors
[1:15:23] within the city limits itself. not just
circle but also 84 east and some of the
[1:15:27] other major corridors outside the
circle. Uh existing commercial across
[1:15:32] US84 acts as a small commercial hub that
allows for future growth immediately
[1:15:37] along the corridor. We have quite a
number of those kind of uh hubs within
[1:15:42] the community that have been identified
by our comprehensive plan or are already
[1:15:47] in existence at this time. So as a
result of those particular compliance
[1:15:53] um portions of the comprehensive plan or
areas of comprehensive plan which this
[1:15:58] resoning request complies. Staff is
recommending that um that the council
[1:16:04] approved the resoning request here from
R2 to B1 subject to the provisions of
[1:16:11] the zoning ordinance. Uh planning
commission also unanimously recommended
[1:16:15] approval of this result. questions
[1:16:26] here.
[1:16:34] Guess
[1:16:46] See, is there anything else signals
follow?
[1:16:53] And we will close this hearing and call
ordinance 1926.
[1:16:59] Motion
[1:17:06] » discussion.
All in favor say I.
[1:17:10] » I.
Motion carries.
[1:17:14] Call for a public hearing consideration
ordinance 05926A
[1:17:19] providing for the reszoning of 82.02
acres of land owned by the estate of
[1:17:24] Senator Elizabeth Hutchinson Charles
Vickers Eel Jr. from a Agriculture
[1:17:30] District and R2 medium density single
family district to R3 high density
[1:17:35] single family residential district
located along the north side of Old
[1:17:40] Salem Road and east side of US 84.
[1:17:46] One more time, I'll come and speak to
you all here this evening. Uh, this
[1:17:49] particular request involves two
different properties. Uh, one property
[1:17:54] is around 40 acres and involves entire
is entirely zoned as agriculture. The
[1:18:00] second property is just over 40 acres
and involves um two different zoning
[1:18:05] districts R2 and a as well. Applicant is
wanting to reszone both of those
[1:18:10] properties to R3. So going from
agriculture and medium density
[1:18:16] residential to R3 which is high density
single family residential.
[1:18:21] So here's the subject property US 84 uh
heading west towards New Broxton and
[1:18:28] Ela. This is also very close to the city
boundary line on the opposite end of
[1:18:32] US84
um near Old Salem Road. Old you can see
[1:18:36] Salem Road and Old Salem Road down at
the bottom of the screen there. This
[1:18:40] also has close proximity to Highway 51.
You can see there to the north and east
[1:18:47] of this property.
So the zoning map, you can see the um
[1:18:53] the light yellow color that's at the
bottom of this proposed property being
[1:18:58] reszone. That's your R2 district. And
then the bulk of the property uh that
[1:19:03] remains to the north is all agriculture
in green there. And all that's proposed
[1:19:08] to go to R3
R2 to R3. We do have M2 industrial
[1:19:14] zoning to the north of this property,
agriculture to the east, R2 medium
[1:19:20] density residential to the south, and
then uh Coffee County is immediately
[1:19:24] adjacent to this property to the west.
We did send out letters to eight
[1:19:29] property owners and the current use of
this property is vacant.
[1:19:33] So if you're if should you decide to
reszone this property, what are the
[1:19:37] intents of the district? I want to point
out something specific within this
[1:19:40] agriculture zoning district. It is
designed to provide space within the
[1:19:44] city to continue agriculture in forestry
operations preserve and to preserve land
[1:19:50] also for future urban use when the
demand for land for such development and
[1:19:55] availability of services warrant such
development. Uh, in that case,
[1:20:00] the code specifically says that the
property could be reszoned for a more
[1:20:05] intensive use. It's a district that's
designed to invite a reszone to a more
[1:20:11] intensive use. That's about the only
district with that the city has in which
[1:20:16] you'll find that particular language.
So allowable uses with the within the a
[1:20:22] zoning district are are what you would
expect does allow for single family
[1:20:26] homes but also farming forestry uses
livestock sales those are the uses that
[1:20:32] are allowed right now on the bulk of
this property
[1:20:37] should you decide to re okay and also R2
I'll hit that as well we've already hit
[1:20:42] that with your last one medium
residential mostly allows for single
[1:20:46] family residential uses
So should you decide to reszone our
[1:20:52] three districts purpose is to provide
preserved land for high density single
[1:20:56] family glowing units in other compatible
uses in areas that are geographically
[1:21:01] defined and protected from the
encroachment of incompatible uses. Um
[1:21:07] only difference with this is within R3s
it does allow for cottage developments
[1:21:13] but otherwise it's still mostly single
family dwellings that are allowed within
[1:21:17] this district
[1:21:22] future land use map. You can see similar
to your last request that came before
[1:21:26] you. This mostly uh calls for
agriculture and single family or medium
[1:21:33] density residential.
[1:21:37] We have received a concept plan for this
particular request. They are proposing a
[1:21:44] 256 block subdivision to cover this 80
acres of land. And you can see the
[1:21:49] preliminary plat that has been already
reviewed and approved by the planning
[1:21:55] commission subject to your review here
this evening. But this is a copy of the
[1:22:02] PL of the most recent flat that staff
has received and has on file for this
[1:22:06] particular development.
So how does this apply to the comp plan?
[1:22:11] Uh, this development would provide a
smoother transition from that industrial
[1:22:15] zoning that I showed you to the north um
to the low dens to the low inensity
[1:22:20] residential that is on the other sides
and also within Coffee County and higher
[1:22:25] density residential areas should have
access to major roadways. This does have
[1:22:30] a frontage on US84. They are not
proposing to tie in to US84, but they
[1:22:36] are proposing two separate entrances.
one entrance on Old Salem Road and the
[1:22:41] other entrance to the north and east of
this property to connect into Alabama
[1:22:46] State Highway 54. That is their proposal
at this time.
[1:22:52] So, just a picture of the public notice
signs that were um that were put out for
[1:22:56] this property.
And then staff recommendation is that
[1:23:00] the council approve the reszoning for
the 82.02 2 acres uh located on the east
[1:23:06] side of US 84 and north side of Old
Salem Road from A and R2 to R3
[1:23:13] uh with a couple of contending subject
to the provision of two access points to
[1:23:19] public streets for the subdivision
itself. The planning commission also
[1:23:24] recommends approval of the request. They
actually had a few more contingencies
[1:23:28] that they uh recommended as a part of
their approval of the preliminary flat,
[1:23:34] which included the two access points
that I mentioned to you, but also the
[1:23:40] upgrade of Old Salem Road, which is not
in real good shape right now, but also
[1:23:46] it's subject to your approval here this
evening.
[1:23:51] That's all I have for staff from staff
on this particular Few questions.
[1:23:58] » Question is
how much of the acreage
[1:24:05] was?
>> It's probably I don't know the exact
[1:24:10] number but it's uh it's about 34 of the
property. So somewhere in the 60 acre
[1:24:16] range
[1:24:19] » and then fire do we know fireach
[1:24:27] » they they are aware of this project I
don't know the estimated time fire chief
[1:24:31] may speak to that a little bit better
than me but uh but we have been um have
[1:24:36] been talking with them a little bit uh
to confirm the main thing main
[1:24:41] conversations we've had are fire
accessing
[1:24:45] those two points.
[1:24:56] » Yes, they are proposing a bridge across
the smaller feeder creek, but at this
[1:25:00] time there's a larger uh creek that
actually runs along the west side of
[1:25:05] this property, and they are they are not
proposing to cross that at this time.
[1:25:13] question was
big
[1:25:20] about what fire first responder response
time
[1:25:26] » as most all of you know our goal is that
our first unit get to any calls
[1:25:35] within 320 seconds 5 minutes and 20
seconds. Um we have one recently that
[1:25:42] ended up being in the seven minute
range. So we did not meet our metric. Um
[1:25:49] uh
[1:25:53] conversation that we had
is the interest in building closer to
[1:26:02] um
the further the longer it takes for us
[1:26:07] to get anywhere. Obviously that can a
ISO. You guys
[1:26:12] probably don't think about that.
[1:26:17] This metric is designed for that. So
obviously the further away from fire
[1:26:23] station build,
the harder time we will have that
[1:26:29] minimum.
[1:26:36] Correct. Yes.
[1:26:44] I can't tell you that that's normal.
That day was a busy day.
[1:26:58] They were going.
So if you were to say, did they all
[1:27:04] leave from their
obviously that's north side.
[1:27:09] I can't tell you. I don't I don't know
the answer to that
[1:27:14] pretty much everybody that
central fire station
[1:27:22] that would be fairly accurate
as far as
[1:27:30] both.
>> Yes.
[1:27:33] The additional units that are supposed
to be there are supposed to be there in
[1:27:36] 5 minutes and 60 seconds or 9 minutes
and 20 seconds
[1:27:41] for that's the entire measure the first
arrival unit and then the remainder that
[1:27:47] those are the two we did meet the
secondary so the the unit coming from
[1:27:52] central fire station did need it in the
second
[1:27:57] primary that makes sense so I mean again
the thing is we can hand we're going to
[1:28:03] handle what your fire department has
made
[1:28:08] no claim that
um we'll do and take care of whatever we
[1:28:14] got to take care of but it is true
obviously that the further we are the
[1:28:19] further we build away from the longer
and that's part of what we're doing with
[1:28:24] the session that we're working Any
[1:28:33] others?
[1:28:49] » Good evening, council. My name is Josh.
I'm with Group.
[1:28:56] did a great job.
[1:29:06] I think one thing that makes this
development unique in the R3 density
[1:29:12] allows for
proposed
[1:29:22] on the side. There's a lot of wetlands
and streams on the site that we're
[1:29:27] trying to minimize.
We have one stream crossing that you
[1:29:31] mentioned just to connect secondary
access but outside of that leave all the
[1:29:37] existing vegetation that we can
especially those are
[1:29:44] happy to answer any
[1:29:56] members.
[1:30:03] » Good evening to the city council. My
name is Richard. I live at 3391
[1:30:07] road. I live on the northeastern most
portion of this request. I don't have
[1:30:13] any opposition to this. not super happy
about it, but people need homes and we
[1:30:18] understand that. Um,
obviously there's a big need for smaller
[1:30:25] homes. I think it's problem across the
country. Our ask is that the city help
[1:30:30] us maintain the natural existing
on this side and really around the whole
[1:30:35] thing. And we have been working with the
planning commission and with Stanford
[1:30:39] group. So, I want to thank everybody so
far that has taken interest in this.
[1:30:45] You know, it's our forever home. We
don't plan on leaving it, but one day
[1:30:49] the property value could be seriously
negative be affected if that natural
[1:30:53] existing buffer is. And then for our
quality of life while we're there, we
[1:30:58] just want some noise pollution, light
pollution protection. And this existing
[1:31:03] buffer, myself and my neighbor, these
are 25, 30 foot tall trees. I mean,
[1:31:09] there's there's no way I can replace it.
What group has that approval shows that
[1:31:16] existing buffer. Um, I'm not sure
they've made a real firm commitment on
[1:31:21] that, but I do ask the city that if they
change that that they justify it. I
[1:31:27] don't think it's going to come to that.
They know that we want to eventually own
[1:31:30] that tree line and we're working toward
that and they're being very cooperative
[1:31:35] of that.
The follow through is the most important
[1:31:39] part. Approved, it's going to get final
approved. So, here and there. Let's just
[1:31:44] try to protect as much as the existing
citizens
[1:31:53] work for university. I drive that road
every single day. Which home is yours?
[1:31:57] There's two that sit far off the road on
the left.
[1:32:00] » Exactly. Mine is the one to the right of
the flag.
[1:32:04] » Yeah. And so that back side
is
[1:32:11] kind there. And we don't ask for
[1:32:34] that again. I just want to go on record
[1:32:40] those properties.
[1:32:56] Good evening, council. My name is Jeff
Luther and I I live here at Enterprise.
[1:33:00] My wife and I own the uh portion to the
west of the property in the county we
[1:33:06] own. There's 46 acres that sit out
there. So, uh there's no home out there.
[1:33:11] I live in your district.
>> Okay. Uh but uh that property in the
[1:33:16] county is basically uh grass land. It's
uh
[1:33:21] crop pay off it and that's about the end
of spend some time out there. But along
[1:33:25] with the the concerns that have been uh
been voiced. We had an opportunity to
[1:33:30] look at the map where the wetland is
from there to the west. And at the last
[1:33:33] meeting, the representative that was
there from Sanford indicated to me there
[1:33:37] was no plans to develop the um the
property from the wetland between the
[1:33:42] wetland and my property line. Is that
still the same judge? Okay. Yeah. I
[1:33:46] guess along with the that finally I want
to go on record too is asking that as
[1:33:50] much of that buffer that that natural
buffer those pine trees and the the
[1:33:54] green space that is there be retained
for the mutual benefit of both parties.
[1:34:00] Thank you.
[1:34:19] Yes. Um this is something that we talked
to
[1:34:24] about
[1:34:32] the engineering side. We'll do
everything we can to
[1:34:36] out the slopes.
[1:34:46] » Just one additional comment that I'll
make. Um any approval that you provide
[1:34:50] tonight would uh would allow the
approval of the preliminary plat by the
[1:34:55] planning commission to move forward uh
would allow this project to move
[1:35:00] forward. But the approval of a
preliminary plately
[1:35:04] locks in the developer to the plan that
they submitted. So any any major changes
[1:35:11] to the preliminary plat as far as the
design are concerned would have to come
[1:35:15] back before the planning commission for
review would require us to notify those
[1:35:19] property owners all all over again. So
the design the general design that you
[1:35:23] see that you saw here this evening they
would largely be locked in. They've made
[1:35:28] some um um some arrangements as far as
that buffer is concerned. That wouldn't
[1:35:33] be a major change to the flat. Uh we can
continue to move that project forward,
[1:35:39] but developing across the wetlands
across that main stream would in my mind
[1:35:44] be a different issue.
[1:35:49] Yeah, my question was
[1:35:53] it is not it's just a general reasoning
from from a R2 to R3
[1:36:04] questions.
[1:36:10] We will close this public hearing and
call
[1:36:14] ordinance 1926.
[1:36:25] discussion.

[1:47:03] Thank you all for coming.
We have a request for a
[1:47:09] session for

action that session motion.
[1:47:39] actually.
[1:48:00] Last
[1:48:28] month.
[1:48:41] I wonder just like
[1:48:58] it.
[1:49:08] You guys

[1:50:50] Yes.
[1:51:04] New York.
[1:51:21] All right.
[1:51:55] I'm not
from the south.
[1:52:03] probably
[1:52:10] down.
There was
[1:52:34] There is a
[1:53:00] Well, back
up here to the church. Take a left.
[1:53:08] That's where you see there are four
houses.
[1:53:15] That perspective
[1:53:22] behind
out here
[1:53:43] a lot
deep.
[1:54:09] I do think probably.
[1:54:25] Yeah.
[1:54:40] It's bad.
[1:54:47] That's
honestly
[1:55:02] actually
[1:55:14] So
[1:55:27] many times
back.
[1:55:43] deep
[1:55:47] breath.
[1:55:57] I want to make sure nothing
raise
[1:56:14] There's
[1:56:29] » all right back home. I am the
[1:56:42] Goodbye.
[2:01:03] I got some slit up in there to see where
it is, but
[2:01:09] the lights.
[2:01:17] » I'm going to lock this door back
>> so that I don't forget.
[2:01:22] » Will they still be able to come?
>> They'll come out. They can come in here,
[2:01:26] but you can't come in from here to your
office.
[2:01:28] » Yes, sir. That's fine.
>> So, they get up, prop it open or
[2:01:33] » Okay.
[2:01:47] I don't forget
you got to court
[2:01:52] walking right to the mayor's.
[2:01:57] » Do you think we ought to um since we're
getting something talked about putting
[2:02:02] pas
court. I hear a lot of people
[2:02:07] complaining that
[2:02:23] » it doesn't have to be like
nice
[2:02:31] commission. They're here and we see
microphones that we
[2:02:40] Yeah,
>> we need nine of them and we need one at
[2:02:44] the micro at the
10
[2:02:50] basic speakers. I think
I'm see
[2:03:14] have a witness and witness box. So the
judge and see
[2:03:36] I think we could do it.
[2:03:41] Question is, can we get the microphones?
[2:03:46] We could actually live with fewer. We
could probably live with five
[2:03:49] microphones. Put one
between those two seats there. Put one
[2:03:54] between these two seats. One between
these two seats. They can share.
[2:04:07] Yeah.
[2:04:21] You can't hear when I'm over there. I
can't hear.
[2:04:28] to do about TVs.
[2:04:34] Honestly, what I think we do is put
TV TV
[2:04:40] all four together.
[2:05:12] Okay. Talk about
[2:05:35] Just plug numbers
[2:05:48] here.
[2:05:52] I said every
[2:06:24] She can't hear the answer.
[2:06:56] Can see
[2:07:19] of Of course.
[2:08:23] Holy
[2:08:38] crap.
[2:09:41] I really
[2:09:50] bless
[2:09:58] again next year.
[2:10:22] that just
[2:10:33] shoots.
[2:10:56] This thing is
[2:11:01] beautiful.
[2:11:26] It's
[2:11:36] texture.
[2:12:21] tonight. It's
[2:12:24] to Houston.
[2:12:28] » Let's go to Panama City.
[2:13:33] She's she's
[2:14:04] interest.
