Well, glad to see a great 20 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,280 turnout here tonight for our our non-counsel meeting. Again, this is our 21 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,040 call meeting tonight and we're going to start out here with uh our public 22 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:56,720 comment. Citizens are limited to three minutes to address the city council. 23 00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:01,040 regarding any issues of concern or items on the agenda. So again, this is opening 24 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:08,640 the floor if anybody would like to speak up before we get going here tonight. 25 00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:10,399 » All right. Well, one, two. You want to say something? Wait, 26 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:13,440 » I would like to >> go right ahead. 27 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:18,319 » Okay. Hi, I prepared a couple notes. My name is Joanna Buckner. I'm at 1321 West 28 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,400 Bradford. Thank you for allowing me to address the council tonight. My husband 29 00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:27,360 and I have made a concerted effort to be present here at city council and among 30 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,040 town and really make ourselves a part of the community as we've been here. 31 00:02:28,686 --> 00:02:37,120 [snorts] And we are really happy with Memphis and Memphis has a lot going for 32 00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:42,160 it and we see a good future for Memphis and one of the things I want to point 33 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:47,120 out is this country was founded by risk takers and those who are willing to take 34 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:52,480 a risk to make things better. So, in saying that, we're really happy that the 35 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:57,440 city is looking at fire safety ordinances and ordinances to make things 36 00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,599 safer within our town. Uh, in saying that, looking at what is on the agenda 37 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,120 tonight, we do want to say if we're going to look at things for RV parks 38 00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:10,879 specifically, we also need to look at things within the city like houses that 39 00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:15,599 are a blight or maybe need to be torn down or just need remediation. things 40 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:22,400 that are fire safety hazards within the midtown. Looking at things like uh 41 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:26,800 proper address labels for houses so that ENT fire police are able to identify 42 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,599 said locations so that they're not looking around town like Rex mentioned 43 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,599 at the last meeting trying to find out who called where. 44 00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:39,760 Those things are super important. I know I'm limited on my time. So, uh, we are 45 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:43,599 very proud of the people who are the risktakers in this town who are trying 46 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:48,080 to build businesses such as the RV parks and we don't want to see them penalized 47 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:52,400 in the sense of making it so difficult to grow a business that they're unable 48 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,959 to continue for it because it is not a small business venture in order to set 49 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,959 one of these places up. It's hundreds of thousands of dollars to get an RV park 50 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:07,280 really set up. So, in saying that, while we're looking at those things, let's 51 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:11,200 take into consideration the local area as well and look at things like the 52 00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:16,479 rental houses, the current existing structures. What do we need to fix? How 53 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:20,400 can we help blacks and everybody else send out the letters, get things cleaned 54 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,680 up so that everybody can pro be proud of the city that they're in, not just the 55 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:30,160 people who are coming in to see these RV parks. And uh in keeping with all of 56 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:33,120 that um you know I I know that you guys are have a lot on your plate. 57 00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:36,720 It's hard to catch up with city ordinances if there's not already 58 00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:40,160 ordinances in place. There are things on the state level that have already been 59 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,000 put into place and we can kind of pull some of those just to find them. And if 60 00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:48,880 you want help, I'm happy to help. I will donate my time. Um but I think you guys 61 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:53,280 are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. Let's look at the 62 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:58,240 whole picture, not just the art. >> All right. Thank you. Thank you. 63 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:04,080 » I'd like to speak. Go ahead. [snorts] >> I know you think I sound like a program. 64 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:08,960 My biggest concern is is that this is once in a lifetime oper opportunity, 65 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:15,919 generational opportunities. And we as a city of Memphis ought to do 66 00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:20,720 what we can to allow our locals to profit from this instead of hurt our 67 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,160 locals. And that's my biggest concern because this is the only time we're 68 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,560 going to be able to help our local people do anything. And you know that we 69 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:35,120 are one of the if no way the number two lowest economic, socially, economically 70 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:39,840 uh county in the state of Texas. So we do have an opportunity for some of our 71 00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,560 people to make money out of this. Let's don't hurt them uh by kicking them in 72 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,000 the shin. I mean that's all I want to say. 73 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,800 » Sure. That's fine. >> Anybody else? But there is opportunity 74 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:54,240 you said and there is things that do need to be worked on there. It's going 75 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:58,000 to be rough like the Sure sanitation. Understand that. 76 00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:02,720 » I have one fact that was brought to my attention earlier. The infrastructure 77 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:09,280 was built for a much higher population than we have at this time. So the people 78 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:15,039 that are concerned about it handling more people especially at the level that 79 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:20,680 we are growing right now should not even be 80 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:20,680 » right. It's just another rock to throw. 81 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:28,400 » Um good evening. My name is Amy Trible and I'm speaking tonight regarding the 82 00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:32,400 proposed RV park ordinance. Um I'm speaking tonight as a nearby resident by 83 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:36,960 the RV park and I want to share concerns that I believe are important for the 84 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,800 ordinance to address. I urge the council to include fencing requirements and 85 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:46,800 enforceable quiet hours in the ordinance. I live near the RV park on 86 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:51,120 18th in my family and I have had repeated instances of people coming onto 87 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:56,160 my property at all hours of the day and night. In one instance, the property 88 00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:01,120 owner was present when it occurred. This is a serious safety concern. A properly 89 00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:05,599 maintained fence is not about appearance. It establishes clear 90 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:10,240 property boundaries, helps prevent trespassing, and protects neighboring 91 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:14,560 residents. I was told over a month ago by the property owner that a fence would 92 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,400 be installed, and no progress has been made. This is exactly why the 93 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:24,400 requirement should be written into the ordinance rather than relying on verbal 94 00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:28,960 promises or individual agreements. I also know that residents near other RV 95 00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:34,000 parks have voiced similar concerns regarding property lines, fencing, and 96 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:38,080 the impact on surrounding properties. I also ask that quiet hours be included in 97 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,880 the ordinance to help protect nearby residents from late night noise, music, 98 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,319 and disturbances. I support growth in development of Memphis, but it should 99 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:50,639 not come at the expense of nearby residents safety and quality of life. 100 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:56,080 Including fencing requirements in the ordinance and enforcing quiet hours 101 00:07:53,360 --> 00:08:02,160 would set clear expectations and ensure these issues are addressed consistently 102 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:06,800 rather than le left to informal promises. Including these requirements 103 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:11,039 in the ordinance ensures accountability and prevents these issues from being 104 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,520 handled on a case-byase basis. Thank you for your time. 105 00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:18,720 » Thank you. >> All right. Anybody else? Okay, we'll get 106 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,840 rolling there. Go ahead. >> I just want to speak on the 107 00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:30,240 infrastructure that everybody's worried about. Yes, I did. I had limited time, 108 00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:33,839 but I did. We are our uh permit uh allows us $365,000 109 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:38,320 I mean >> gallons a day, 110 00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:42,880 » which if you calculate that, that's uh >> you're talking about 111 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:47,480 into the into the system. >> And on the average in uh 112 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:56,800 2000 we had which we had it wasn't the biggest population but it 113 00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:03,600 was like 500 people more. Uh we were having 50 million that that roughly uh 114 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:09,680 goes to about 117 million that we do for the year. And that year we did 50 115 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,839 million which we're not by any means close to. 116 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,560 » Okay. >> So you're basically addressing that that 117 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,200 we're for improvement, >> right? Just to 118 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:24,080 » our infrastructure can. >> Yes. And as of uh 23 we had 22 million 119 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:28,720 that come in. That's uh when you're capable of 17 million you get 22 million 120 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:36,640 or less. It is not [clears throat] 121 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:46,160 a concern that not water or uh sewer. >> How are water wells? I was told 122 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:51,120 by very very reliable person that we are in need of a new water well. 123 00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:55,920 » We are but it's not a we've tried it. Uh the last time I was 124 00:09:53,760 --> 00:10:03,279 two years ago, but it's uh over half a million dollar. Obviously, we don't have 125 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:09,040 that that money. Uh we've got five good whales. We've got two gas, two electric 126 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:13,279 or three electric. That way we run out of gas, we have electric. We run out of 127 00:10:11,839 --> 00:10:18,800 electric, we have the gas. >> Will they keep up with more water coming 128 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:23,600 through? Well, our biggest deal is we've always been the top the the the 129 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,640 forefathers have always thought about this 130 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:33,680 » and right now I mean people ask us why do we have so much I have a,820,000 131 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,839 gallons uh on standby >> is that with green belt? 132 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,959 » No sir we don't use green belt that is strictly out of our 133 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,959 » the green belt line has been used in 18 years 134 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,680 long >> it does not mix. They went to tomies. We 135 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:54,560 were using toine and they do not mix without us adding ammonia and it does 136 00:10:53,040 --> 00:11:02,800 not but we have in at a cost of uh I would 137 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:08,880 say no less than a,700,000. 138 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:13,680 We're it it should be there at the 820 which is when our tanks were off and of 139 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:19,279 course that's within us just like the other night we had that loop we had that 140 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:24,480 line that both come in it was uh it was putting out 500 gallons 141 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:28,200 » for that loop not to mention what the firefighters were having 142 00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:34,959 » all right >> granted that's not you know wasn't just 143 00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:41,079 for days and days and days we're We're very well set for water and waste water. 144 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:48,480 » All right. Thank you, Junior. Uh, you know, I can also speak for three 145 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,720 minutes. Also, I want to I want to bring up the city of Memphis is not the it's 146 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,320 been, you know, we're talking about addressing what's going to happen around 147 00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:01,120 here with the city council. Are we ready? And all that. So, all that's come 148 00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:05,680 to be and and and then of course the RV deals are going up uh maybe quicker than 149 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:09,279 we thought, but that's fine and dandy. One great thing about our our you know, 150 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:15,440 we have our water system outside of town. That water only goes to Texas. 151 00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:19,680 We're just so blessed to have drinkable water. I think we've got best water 152 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,399 ever. I mean, I drink it all the time, but we're so lucky there. The only the 153 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:28,720 thing that was brought up about any kind of a regulation as far as city council 154 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:32,959 and ordinance goes is we don't really have any other than we have to go with 155 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:37,760 what the state and they just they have some new ordinances about RV parks and 156 00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:41,680 stuff like that. So we we would have to basically the people that have one or 157 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,760 whatever would have to adopt those standards and I guess it would be up to 158 00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:50,320 city council to follow through on that. So we don't have any standards. Amy 159 00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:54,240 brings up some great points that uh that we need to be aware of. Fire safety. 160 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,000 That's one thing that we talked about our last council meeting the other night 161 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:03,200 where we were as far as putting all that together, making sure that um you know, 162 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:07,279 we can pass on to the to the citizens of Memphis that are going to do this that 163 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:13,680 that um you know that we have to follow the state law. So, we don't really have 164 00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:17,839 any anything on our own on our books. Uh talking about uh fencing, I had a 165 00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:22,639 gentleman bring up that uh there was a place going up and he lives next door, 166 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,480 has three uh girls and was was interested about having a privacy fence, 167 00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:30,320 you know, to keep that going. So that was brought up. So I don't I don't you 168 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:34,240 know that may be something we look at. I think quiet hours is another very 169 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,680 important thing. And so that would be the same thing that you would do if 170 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,600 somebody's living in a house next door to you or whatever other than if you're 171 00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:45,600 going to have a number of people maybe the the fencing. So, uh, the city 172 00:13:43,839 --> 00:13:50,079 council and I'm speaking on behalf of city council, we don't have any 173 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:56,800 anything. It's all been brought up on what what we can do in order to provide 174 00:13:53,120 --> 00:14:01,920 the best u uh oversight and not get in the way like Ronnie was saying about 175 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:06,160 people doing that. that we can't uh uh I don't think we're going to go out and I 176 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,839 don't council up to them tonight to bring some things up, but uh our packet 177 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:15,120 was put together. We have a bunch of ordinance from other cities, things that 178 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:18,160 we've looked over and consider and same thing on our little golf cart deal and 179 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,160 all that. So, I just wanted to bring all that up and if anybody on the council 180 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:27,884 like to say anything as far as our open session here goes and you 181 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:33,600 » Yeah, I'd like to add one thing that has [clears throat] always been on my mind 182 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:39,120 and I would like to state that uh as a council as as a town that we never 183 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:44,880 considered a pipe water out here, >> right? because that's I know there's 184 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:47,920 money that the state come along and say you're going to you know right now we're 185 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,120 so >> in my 35 years here that is not 186 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:53,839 » yeah I mean >> what you want to do look at look at 187 00:14:53,199 --> 00:14:58,480 climate >> absolutely 188 00:14:54,399 --> 00:15:02,240 » I would ask that you never even consider >> not to you could pipe it 30 miles and I 189 00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:08,399 know >> we have the storage we have the water 190 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:13,519 but please do not ever consider that >> no I think We're very very lucky on that 191 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,800 behalf. >> All right. Uh so let's go ahead and move 192 00:15:14,959 --> 00:15:21,360 on. Any anybody else want to speak up on any anything before we move on? All 193 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:27,519 right. Now we go ahead and uh bring up old business. Uh look for a motion to 194 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:31,160 remove the table items off the table. We've got a few there. 195 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:41,279 » I got a motion two second. All in favor. >> All right. Second. Oh. 196 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,440 U second it 197 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:50,240 unanimous. Okay. Discuss and consider amendments to the golf c golf cart 198 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:56,399 ordinance. I don't remember it being that thick when we did it a while back. 199 00:15:53,759 --> 00:16:01,199 But I think we need to uh shorten this thing down a little bit. put on their 200 00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:07,440 golf cart or side by side with are uh are legal to be driven on the streets of 201 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:14,000 Memphis, Texas with a permit except on 16th Street and uh and uh null highway 202 00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:17,759 254 [snorts] because the Texas state law speed limit on public streets in our 203 00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:22,399 ordinance here says 30 miles an hour. That's fine. Uh I think all vehicles 204 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:26,800 wishing to operate in town need to be permitted, which was brought up for 205 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:31,279 safety reasons. uh permitted. That would be people going back to the golf course 206 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:36,560 or riding around town. And they have to have their uh slow sign on the rear. 207 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:41,519 Have to also provide insurance, which is part of our permitting process through 208 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:46,639 the city of Memphis. And uh would be also have their insurance and the the 209 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:51,279 sticker and the sign always posted on the vehicle at all times. And to operate 210 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:56,079 at night, I think it'd be easy enough to kind of scale that down that they would 211 00:16:52,720 --> 00:17:00,399 have to have front and rear lights And that would be about it. Underage 212 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:06,000 drivers, I think it'd be 16 or under. And uh but this there there's so much 213 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:09,679 stuff in here. It's rather thick. So I think we ought to just make it if 214 00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:14,959 there's anybody operating the vehicle in town, uh we're going to require them to 215 00:17:11,679 --> 00:17:18,079 be permitted for our liability reasons. 216 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,679 Council have anything else to say on that? Or how would we go about skimming 217 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:27,600 that down a little bit? I think the biggest thing is because this says in 218 00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:34,320 this ordinance that they're not allowed >> in the second paragraph. 219 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:39,520 » So that needs to be that's what >> I remove that and then I was trying to 220 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:44,160 get for those that have the golf carts that don't have lights, let y'all permit 221 00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:50,080 those and use them for daylight hours only and with hand signals. That way 222 00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:54,960 everybody can use their golf carts. Fair is fair. Really? 223 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:58,559 » So during the day, they don't have to have any lights 224 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:02,080 » during the day, I would say. Yeah. No lights as long as they're using hand 225 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,120 signal. There are a lot of golf carts that I see 226 00:18:03,679 --> 00:18:08,799 driving up down the road that don't have lights. 227 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:11,440 » And what about uh it says the person has to have a valid 228 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:15,760 driver's license. >> Correct. That's state law. 229 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:21,280 » It's operated on the road. It has to be a drive valid driver license. So, what 230 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:25,039 about electronic bicycles? >> What are the 231 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:29,520 » Now, you want to get into that. This falls into the same thing. 232 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:34,000 » Well, the they're still writing some stuff on the bicycles because certain 233 00:18:31,919 --> 00:18:37,679 certain electric bicycles start getting into 234 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:42,720 actually being motor vehicles at that point. And once they're over a certain 235 00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:47,679 cc or speed, >> then they're going to need licenses and 236 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:51,840 insurance and helmets. And the thing about the golf cart too is 237 00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:56,799 if there's a tournament that's late and you can't get to your house 238 00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,480 and you have no headlines. I mean, you have to make some type of 239 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,760 » Well, you can say unless you know, unless [clears throat] 240 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,760 tournaments, 241 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:15,679 » you drive. >> Easy. 242 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:21,679 » Oh, I know you do it all the time. I know they do all 243 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:25,039 » they can call you and you guess all my 244 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:33,118 » So what's the council have to say about just at this point 245 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:36,480 holding that uh uh paragraph B. [snorts] So that kind of contradicts 246 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:40,640 what the ordinance was about the original. But there are sure a lot of 247 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:45,919 papers uh here with it. We want to add some more to it for 248 00:19:43,919 --> 00:19:47,200 emphasize golf carts and off-road vehicles 249 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,320 » right side by side >> 4x4s are not 250 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,760 » four that's not >> dirt bikes are not 251 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:59,120 » no you're talking about something where you're sitting in it with a wheel about 252 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:03,760 kids that are uh not of a legal age but they're uh going back and forth to the 253 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:06,320 golf course during the day >> law says they can't do it 254 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,120 » I know some kids going over there to play golf but 255 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:12,559 » what about the high school kids they play golf we have golf with high school 256 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,640 so they are they not allowed to wear their golf carts either Well, that's 257 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,640 what >> state 258 00:20:17,679 --> 00:20:20,679 driver 259 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,880 » I don't think has a 260 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:53,559 So if they school they should be shown to 261 00:20:50,159 --> 00:20:53,559 » by the school 262 00:20:55,360 --> 00:21:03,400 board. >> All right. So 263 00:20:58,159 --> 00:21:03,400 » I'll put this in as presented 264 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:08,360 » presented. 265 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:14,480 remove that. >> So, at this time, you want to go ahead 266 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,720 and make a motion to remove B. >> Paragraph B. 267 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,880 » Paragraph B. >> And we have a second over here. 268 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:24,480 » Are we going to add the other golfers? >> Are we 269 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:29,840 Are we going to add the other golf cart? Right now, you're required to have 270 00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:33,440 front, rear lights, insurance, all that stuff. Allow the 271 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,240 ones without lights to be operated on the street. We got plenty of them on 272 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,200 there. We may as well register them and get them insured. 273 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:49,039 whether it's daytime or night time. >> Well, the one thing about getting a 274 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:52,640 permit is that that clears us for a legal liability that they actually don't 275 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,840 know what the rules are, you know, and it's not us, but somebody could come 276 00:21:54,159 --> 00:22:01,679 back. So, we're not enforcing it and so on, get run over. That's what happens. 277 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:05,520 Ruins it for everybody. But want to make an amendment on your 278 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:11,240 » Yeah. >> Mortgage there 279 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,240 » with the time addendum 280 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:18,520 front and side reflectors all the add to the city code 11046. 281 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,640 » So all >> you want to make a motion that all golf 282 00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:28,320 carts and side by sides need to be permitted if operated in the city of 283 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:33,360 Memphis and then and then I pull this paragraph 284 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:39,880 B. >> That sound about right?

What what else is the other? What's the heading of name 345 00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:54,880 of that bill or whatever >> other than the fire? What's it? 346 00:27:53,679 --> 00:27:58,960 » Yep. >> So Rex handed out in this packet. So 347 00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:05,039 this has to do governor Abbott back September of 25 of last year. Uh the 348 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:10,240 heavens 27 camp safety act. Uh this had to do with the uh the camp Mystic 349 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:18,000 flooding and any anyhow Governor Greg Abbott signed NFPA 1194 350 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:23,039 the law. So I just I just got 1194 here, but it's there's a lot of there's a lot 351 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:27,440 of stipulations in there and codes that all existing RV parks and new 352 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:32,640 constructed RV parks you don't have to follow. So, I just got this I got this 353 00:28:30,399 --> 00:28:39,200 here press time, but uh I've got the bill that Governor Ab signed into law 354 00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:43,039 and uh the U says right here now withstanding chapter 764 health and 355 00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:47,360 safety code is added by this act, the recreational vehicle park or campground 356 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:51,360 to which that chapter applies operating on the effective date of this act is not 357 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:57,919 required to comply with that chapter before September 1st, 2026. So 358 00:28:54,320 --> 00:29:04,080 everything that's in NFPA 1194, all existing RV parks and all new 359 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:09,600 constructed RV parks to that standard >> by 360 00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:11,919 » state law by this is state law. It's supposed to be 361 00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:15,760 » that's that's coming from Governor Abbott. 362 00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:20,000 » All right. >> So with that, who is the one that 363 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:25,080 enforces that? >> That will be your fire marshal. And is 364 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,080 Nickif? 365 00:29:26,399 --> 00:29:32,600 » No. So, >> so let's see. So, the discussion I had 366 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,600 with 367 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:40,200 so according according to our city ordinance what was passed excuse me. 368 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:51,200 So in uh let's see in March of 23 the uh office of the fire marshall was created 369 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,960 and it says that the fire marshall shall be properly qualified for the duties of 370 00:29:53,120 --> 00:30:01,200 his office which include the power to make arrest and shall shall be shall be 371 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:06,559 removed only for cost. He shall serve on a voluntary basis without compensation. 372 00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:11,840 The other thing that goes into our city ordinance as well, it says uh the fire 373 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:16,159 prevention code shall be enforced by the fire marshal. The fire marshal shall be 374 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:20,480 exeicio chief of the fire prevention bureau. The fire marshall may detail 375 00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:24,799 such members of the fire department as inspectors and shall from time to time 376 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:32,799 be necessary. So chief plant is the fire marshal um 377 00:30:29,679 --> 00:30:37,679 according to according to our according to statute or according to our ordinance 378 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:41,760 but you know yes as far as the credentiing Nick has the credential. So 379 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,399 Nick does the inspections and if there's anything out 380 00:30:43,679 --> 00:30:49,600 » that's that's according to how far >> that's how we 381 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,520 point it out and then if you needed a ticket break that out 382 00:30:52,159 --> 00:30:58,799 » so the people that have already picked up building permit to do uh the RV 383 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:02,000 business here in Memphis will contact them make sure they have a copy of that 384 00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:08,720 or just enforce them >> well they should get a copy of the house 385 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:16,159 » well I mean a permit should other ones that I'm that already in progress. 386 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:18,960 » Yeah. I mean, whenever you come in, you get a copy of it. 387 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:23,960 » Oh, so we have a copy? >> Yes. 388 00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:23,960 » Okay. No, we didn't before. 389 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,240 » They didn't give you a copy that you 390 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,399 have it signed in place. 391 00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:40,000 » Well, so we I think we just got it. Did we? 392 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,960 » I got it Friday. Right. So, I mean, we'll follow up on that to make sure 393 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,360 everything's, you know, we're not it's not anything that we're the city of 394 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,039 Memphis is doing. >> So, can we have copies here? So, if they 395 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,120 didn't get it, they can come get one. >> Yes. 396 00:31:49,919 --> 00:31:57,039 » How are we supposed to know what we're going to have to 397 00:31:53,440 --> 00:32:00,039 » I'll put together a packet >> online? 398 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:08,320 » Well, it's it's nothing. It's it's all new to us, too. I mean, this is just 399 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,760 kind of a whirlwind deal. I mean, we We don't, like I said, we don't have any 400 00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:16,000 ordinances on the the books as far as that goes other than just following what 401 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:22,840 the state's directive is. >> We're just talking. 402 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,840 » Yeah. But I'm just as far as all the 403 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,039 » It's just you. 404 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:39,279 So right now, if I'm understanding it, Rex is leaving at the end of se No, end 405 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:43,279 of August. September, maybe next week. I don't know. 406 00:32:39,679 --> 00:32:49,120 » Okay. So when the county does take over after he retires, then it'll be the 407 00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:52,480 their county will do that. >> We'll appoint somebody probably out of 408 00:32:50,559 --> 00:32:56,120 here because it's city. >> Oh, okay. 409 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,120 » Yeah. 410 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:02,159 » Okay. And then and then Mr. At that time, you know, it says in our ordinance 411 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:07,279 that, you know, it has to be an arresting officer. But that that's just 412 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:11,519 that is as far a lost to make that call with it's the Texas 413 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:15,919 Fire Prevention, the Texas Commission on Fire Prevention that a fire marshal does 414 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:20,799 not have to be [clears throat] officer. It's up to our local jurisdiction. So 415 00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:25,440 basically you can repeal the ordinance depending on how one week when you get 416 00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:31,679 down to the end of September that that ordinance can be repealed and then you 417 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:35,919 can you can change change orders to require the fire marshall not to be 418 00:33:33,039 --> 00:33:40,000 arresting officer that it can be it can be somebody. 419 00:33:38,159 --> 00:33:45,039 So over here back under discuss and consider the national fire prevention 420 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:49,279 association code enforcement parts. Uh I think the easiest thing to do is have 421 00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:52,799 that available and we'll uh contact the the people that have already had a 422 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,200 permit that we have that for them and we'll go with that and that would 423 00:33:53,919 --> 00:34:00,559 basically take care of seeing then wouldn't it 424 00:33:57,919 --> 00:34:02,960 » so we need to >> adopt this? 425 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,240 » No, I mean that's >> national fire. 426 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:10,240 » It's state law. >> I'm just saying that we to discuss and 427 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:14,320 consider. Basically what we want what I'm saying is we we just have have that 428 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,240 packet available to make sure that everything's good but it's not what 429 00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:22,399 we're doing. >> Yes. So so when we drafted the agenda we 430 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:26,800 put it out in Tuesday of last week. I was not aware of the 1194 NPA 431 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:30,480 requirement. So and that's that's part of everything that got put together in 432 00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:36,480 pack that was put out Friday that this was signed into state law last September 433 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:41,839 by Governor Ab. So, it's it's not it's not as far as us adopting the NFPA code 434 00:34:39,839 --> 00:34:48,800 that was adopted back we adopted the code back in 23 435 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:53,919 » and uh and under it's 693 but we we follow the NFPA code but this is this is 436 00:34:51,679 --> 00:35:01,520 just Governor Abbott's signing state law and we we have to 437 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:07,520 abide by that. So, we're we're already we're already uh we're already with it 438 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:11,200 as far as as far as what what NFP regulations are out there and I've got 439 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:16,320 it here and I'll make copies for everyone and be found on the internet 440 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:19,760 too, but I'll make copies for everyone and everybody. 441 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:26,400 » So, somebody want to make a motion have that available to pass out to our permit 442 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:29,560 recipients. I will make the motion that we have 443 00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:35,000 available. >> Yeah. 444 00:35:35,359 --> 00:35:41,280 » All right. That all right with everybody got a motion to do that. You want to 445 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:45,440 second that. Win. >> All right. All in favor? 446 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:50,160 » All right. You vote? >> I 447 00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:56,160 » unanimous. Okay. All right. Next up here, discuss and consider creation of 448 00:35:51,920 --> 00:36:00,560 city ordinances on RV parks. And as far as 449 00:35:57,839 --> 00:36:04,720 I think the city council goes, we don't have any. 450 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,599 Is that right? >> Yeah. So, 451 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:13,200 » and other than I think that the idea about uh this maybe discussing the idea 452 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:20,079 of maybe the fencing issue possibly depends on you know something to look at 453 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:23,599 and uh quiet hours and I think uh was also brought up about house numbers 454 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:29,280 that's been brought up in the past and we may just have to put the numbers down 455 00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:35,040 for somebody's house on make sure that that's uh visible at those locations too 456 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:40,400 because we have you people doing deliveries. We have uh uh 457 00:36:37,839 --> 00:36:44,079 ambulances going out and can't find it. So, we tried to do a deal. The the 458 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,359 school was going to sell them one time. We sold a few. But, I think it's 459 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:52,320 something the city council was going to have to go around and put up and charge 460 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:57,520 people $10 or whatever it cost to get that little reflective plate on there. 461 00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:00,720 Make sure every house has it uh where they can see it. I've seen ambulances 462 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:07,200 going up and down streets looking for a house with all their lights on. 463 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:11,920 Yeah, I just so so as far as the what was in your packet is you know the 464 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:15,599 ordinances that have been placed for you know surrounding communities and what 465 00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:21,520 they put in there. So with that being said in NFPA 1194 I think it it would be 466 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:25,280 a suggestion that maybe the mayor appoint an ad hoc committee that we can 467 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:29,520 go through and we can cross reference 1194 with what what other ordinances 468 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,280 that you see in the packet that you may want to far as fencing restrictions. You 469 00:37:32,079 --> 00:37:37,839 know, there's there's several things in there. I I haven't gone through 1194 to 470 00:37:35,839 --> 00:37:42,880 to see what the the correspondence is between the the other ordinances passed, 471 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:46,240 but that's something I think that we that the mayor needs to put together an 472 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:49,359 ad hoc committee with people with the council members and we go through line 473 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:55,359 by line and cross reference with the line 1194 and then we can present it uh 474 00:37:53,520 --> 00:38:02,119 present it and have a hearing for people for review and then make any necessary 475 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,119 amendments that go from there. 476 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:11,280 All right. Well, uh I guess as far as that goes, would you be interested in 477 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:15,520 serving on that in that? Anybody else like to volunteer 478 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:18,560 to be part of that? That could be got one more person 479 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:22,720 like serve. >> I'll do it. 480 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:27,119 » You'll put those three on there and then by time we get ready for our next 481 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:30,960 council meeting coming up in uh June, then we can look at that. I don't we 482 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,440 don't need to another call meeting right away. Do we? 483 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,440 » I don't think so. >> Okay. 484 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:44,320 » All right. Uh we move on that good. 485 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,040 You got all that, Molly? >> Yes. 486 00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:51,480 » Okay. Discuss and consider amendment to the city building permit. 487 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,800 » Yes. 488 00:38:58,079 --> 00:39:04,480 I table this to the next city council meeting. 489 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:08,640 » I'll second. >> We got a motion to table that.

Uh I'll see if this council wants to say anything. We'll wrap this 493 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,960 meeting up here. >> We still have the That's a city building 494 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,400 permit. >> Huh? 495 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:36,880 » We still have E. >> Oh, I thought you saying table that. 496 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:42,200 » No, but together committee on D. Okay. Discuss and consider amendment for the 497 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,200 city building for 498 00:39:54,480 --> 00:40:04,640 » that question. Was the is the issue or a question of NPA 1194 and the ordinance 499 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:09,119 being limited to the discussion for RV parks? 500 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:14,720 I think it's uh I don't >> I guess one thing is were the board not 501 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:21,200 also looking to all residential structures as an example uh NFPA1 talks 502 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:25,520 of uninhabited dwellings residential the requirement 503 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:30,960 that all combustibles be removed exterior interior property it's a major 504 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:36,079 fire hazard concern as we're experiencing right now wildfires um this 505 00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:41,880 is about the health protection and safety of city of Memphis. We need 506 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,880 to exped 507 00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:58,640 uh we had our open session at the beginning that young lady was making 508 00:40:56,240 --> 00:41:03,040 making a comment about uh buyer safety housing buildings as well.

Got a motion to go ahead proceed with that. Second by 688 00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:38,800 » I'm sorry. A motion to table it. You're seconding that. All in favor? 689 00:55:38,319 --> 00:55:42,880 » I. >> All right. That'll wrap us up on that 690 00:55:41,119 --> 00:55:46,559 end of it. Council have anything else to say tonight or 691 00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:50,240 » on our call meeting? I want to say thanks very much for everybody coming 692 00:55:47,839 --> 00:55:55,280 out tonight. Any final comments from the crowd 693 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:59,680 » about anything? I mean, go ahead. >> You know, 694 00:55:57,359 --> 00:56:07,680 Memphis is based on agriculture. It has been for my last five decades. Been here 695 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:12,799 before that. And this this this opportunity to have to grow our 696 00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:17,200 population, whether it is RV parks or putting a new hotel. So, I'm looking 697 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:22,559 into that, you know. I think we should embrace it, 698 00:56:19,839 --> 00:56:26,160 but we do have to go by the state laws, you know, but I don't think we need to 699 00:56:24,319 --> 00:56:29,200 treat it. I think what we do for RV parks, what we're going to do to them, 700 00:56:27,839 --> 00:56:33,599 we need to do to rent houses that nobody's lived in. I think I think we 701 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,400 need to take a while to look at that. I think that's already been versed a 702 00:56:34,799 --> 00:56:40,720 little bit. I just wanted to throw that in there as extra. You know, RV parks 703 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:45,440 need to be looked at. I get it. need to go by these new fire codes and stuff, 704 00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:49,520 but I think there's a lot of other fires fire potential 705 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:54,079 around that that that's all I wanted to add. 706 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:57,760 » What about you homes in town that burn out, people are 707 00:56:56,319 --> 00:57:03,119 living in them, they have no water, electricity. I can point out two or 708 00:57:00,319 --> 00:57:06,960 three RVs that are parked, no electricity or water, people living in 709 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:10,319 it, no cure. >> I can drive you around all over town, 710 00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:14,240 show you all stuff. And that's what we're looking into. We want to make sure 711 00:57:12,079 --> 00:57:16,960 that we are code >> and following state law. 712 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:22,559 » So that that's also going to go back to the ordinance about light clean up and 713 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:28,319 if it's open to the outside get in there, animals, whatever. 714 00:57:26,079 --> 00:57:33,359 » If it's a wreck and it's sealed up, then we that they will continue to operate. 715 00:57:31,599 --> 00:57:37,520 You want to say something? So with the fencing, does it necessarily have to be 716 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:40,799 a privacy fence or can we just put any fence up that they know not to go on 717 00:57:39,839 --> 00:57:45,200 other people's property? >> At the current moment, we have no city. 718 00:57:43,839 --> 00:57:47,520 » We don't have to put a fence up if we don't want to. 719 00:57:45,599 --> 00:57:52,559 » At the current moment, there's no city. >> But does it necessarily 720 00:57:50,319 --> 00:57:56,319 have to be private? I would think >> be something where they go on this side 721 00:57:55,040 --> 00:58:00,720 of their property. >> That's that's going to be a ordinance. 722 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:03,440 But I I would think that um uh since there's going to be a number of people 723 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:08,160 over there, it's probably going to want to be a privacy fence, tell the truth. 724 00:58:05,599 --> 00:58:15,359 You know, we to hide that people's property and and yours from multipleies. 725 00:58:12,799 --> 00:58:19,040 » Why would we have to put one up? I mean, why can't they put their fence up? 726 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:22,720 » Well, we'll just the council have to address that. 727 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,720 » Yeah. 728 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:30,240 So >> I can't answer that 729 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:35,599 » on that note. So even state law says you don't have to fence your animals in, 730 00:58:32,559 --> 00:58:41,280 you have to fence your animals out. So by saying that, you're exactly right. I 731 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:44,880 don't have to build a fence to hide my property. You have to build a fence so 732 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:48,559 that you don't see it. Does that make sense? It's like the cattle law 733 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:54,079 » open range. So, >> don't and and I'm not saying any of 734 00:58:52,079 --> 00:58:56,799 that, right? Like that's what the law says. 735 00:58:54,480 --> 00:59:00,880 » Don't we have an ordinance against u abandoned vehicles and they have to be 736 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:04,960 behind a privacy fence? >> So, 737 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:08,559 that does. Yes. Yes. So, I I think the biggest thing is everybody's excited, 738 00:59:06,799 --> 00:59:15,119 everybody's nervous. A lot of people do this when they really don't know the 739 00:59:12,319 --> 00:59:20,079 facts and we don't know all the facts. All this stuff is due 740 00:59:17,839 --> 00:59:27,119 that's coming in and it's overtaking everywhere. So all the council is trying 741 00:59:23,359 --> 00:59:31,760 to do is put us in position to make all of y'all successful 742 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:36,960 but do it correctly, right? We don't want to put 743 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:41,119 20 RVs in a you know what I mean? stacking everything on top. Yes, there 744 00:59:38,799 --> 00:59:46,240 are multitude of other issues that need to be addressed by the council. It has 745 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:49,119 been forever. There's abandoned houses. There's 746 00:59:47,839 --> 00:59:52,880 » old tires, >> old tires. 747 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:56,640 » I mean, there there's a lot of things that need 748 00:59:54,480 --> 01:00:02,960 to be addressed, right? And has been a continuum that's um maybe got pushed 749 00:59:59,599 --> 01:00:08,079 aside, you know, like most saying gets pushed off to the back burner. 750 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:14,559 But what the council is trying to do is do, we want everybody to be law abiding 751 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:18,480 in the construction of stuff. So if the state does come in here, they're going 752 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:23,520 to say, "Hey, let me see your stuff." Hey, right here. Not a problem. So 753 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:27,119 you're not penalized for doing something wrong. You're following the state law. 754 01:00:25,599 --> 01:00:30,799 And just because you didn't know about it, I'm sorry. This thing is ain't 755 01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:34,240 tough. It was published. You should have done your research. Your contractor 756 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:39,200 should have done your research. There's no excuse for not knowing. That is truly 757 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:44,240 not. You have to be diligent in yourself in knowing the laws and your contractor 758 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:48,720 has to be diligent. If you were the general contractor, 759 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:53,119 you're liable 100% for everything that was done. If you had someone else as a 760 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:57,839 general contractor, they have to do that. That's why they charge their money 761 01:00:55,680 --> 01:01:02,400 to research and do what's correct so that you're according and they all any 762 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:07,520 general contractor does have to follow national code. installation of any 763 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:09,839 » I feel if we don't follow follow this that we're not going to be able to give 764 01:01:08,559 --> 01:01:13,760 out a bid for that >> and that's all we're trying to do 765 01:01:11,599 --> 01:01:20,400 » we don't want anybody we want people to prosper right I mean this is this is 766 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:22,640 about a fiveyear swarm right doors >> well okay yeah so 767 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:26,960 » 7 to 10 >> 7 to 10 so anyway I think it's great but 768 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:32,000 and we're not absolutely the council is here to make everybody prosperous in 769 01:01:30,319 --> 01:01:36,799 this I mean all the business are starting up and it's like it's great to 770 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:41,440 provide, you know, is to ride and keep keep it done like spoke to so 771 01:01:38,559 --> 01:01:45,520 everybody's uh protected and their investment. 772 01:01:43,599 --> 01:01:50,480 » Yeah. You want your you want your investment if I go spend, you know, 773 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:54,240 $200,000 on put or whatever it is on putting an army lock. I want to know 774 01:01:52,079 --> 01:01:58,240 that it's done correctly so somebody can't come in there and shut me down and 775 01:01:56,559 --> 01:02:05,280 say, "Hey, you didn't do this correctly." And guess what? You're shut 776 01:02:01,359 --> 01:02:09,200 down. And now then what do I do now? I got to spend another however much money 777 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:13,040 to repair, replenish, down that much behind. So that's all we're trying to do 778 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:17,760 and this is all. >> Um I know there was a question regarding 779 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:21,599 the decibel or noise ordinance and I looked it up. Um, there is a state 780 01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:26,240 ordinance and Rex can correct me if I'm wrong, but it says that um, if there is 781 01:02:24,079 --> 01:02:30,640 a noise complaint and the police officer has already gone out, if they go back 782 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:34,319 out again and the noise exceeds 85 dB, there is a state statute for that. And I 783 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:38,880 I you'll have to ask for what the exact number is, but there is a state statute 784 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:44,440 for >> that's not an RV. That is across the 785 01:02:40,799 --> 01:02:44,440 board noise. 786 01:02:52,319 --> 01:02:56,799 » All right, we're going to wrap. We're going to wrap our meeting up. Does 787 01:02:55,119 --> 01:02:58,880 anybody else have anything to say? Because 788 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,799 » can I commend the >> speaker? Always hold your peace. Yeah, 789 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:07,200 » I would like to commend the city and the city administrator for cleaning up some 790 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:10,240 of the blight that was already in town when you guys took down some of those 791 01:03:08,799 --> 01:03:13,839 buildings and cleaned them up and then auctioned them off. You guys did a great 792 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:17,119 job in that and that was amazing because you didn't just sell a dilapidated 793 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:20,960 property for somebody else to figure out. You guys took care of the problem 794 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:23,920 and you made it an effective solution and you were able to cover your cost 795 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,760 with it. I think you guys should be commended for that. So, thank you very 796 01:03:25,359 --> 01:03:28,960 much. >> You're doing a good job. 797 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:34,720 » You guys are doing a good job. This all this is this RV deal is just 798 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:38,319 all of a sudden you tell that we we already 799 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:41,680 look at old fire. >> Yeah. Well, that guy brought the dump 800 01:03:40,079 --> 01:03:43,680 over there for his fence. >> All right, we're going to wrap it up. 801 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,520 So, >> hold on. I'm going to have something to 802 01:03:44,799 --> 01:03:49,680 say. >> I would just say um yeah, I commend the 803 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:53,359 council on the work that you guys have in front of you. It is going to be a 804 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:57,039 very arduous task. Uh you're going to make a lot of people upset. You're going 805 01:03:55,119 --> 01:04:02,559 to make a lot of people happy. But I I would just ask you to you know remember 806 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:07,920 that the the job of the council is not even so much growth in this state of 807 01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:13,520 population to people go to Alba that it is technically the 198 808 01:04:11,039 --> 01:04:17,280 but but growth is prosperity for the people that are here the investors that 809 01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:21,760 are here um and you have a really unique opportunity I have to be very aware of 810 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:27,280 what's about to happen uh here not just south you know children's burn area but 811 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:32,240 it's also coming Memphis. Um, so there is a unique opportunity that Memphis can 812 01:04:29,359 --> 01:04:36,079 see a resurgence and growth and uh become a very desirable place in the 813 01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:40,160 panhandle. But you guys are going to make some people upset in the process. 814 01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:44,079 Uh, but but for the greater good of what you've been elected to do 815 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:49,119 power. >> Well, our main job and mind and council 816 01:04:47,359 --> 01:04:52,640 is we're going to be fair all the way across the board. We don't have we're 817 01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:56,240 not going to nitpick anything. We're going to that's the way it is. Be here 818 01:04:54,960 --> 01:05:00,799 and that's I think that's the easiest way to go. Okay. Somebody want to make a 819 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:05,760 motion to adjurnn? Got a motion to adjurnn. 820 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:08,559 » Second by Melissa. All right.
