[0:05] All right, we're officially going to

Texas, America. We're calling this
[0:24] meeting to order. We're starting out

[0:27] allegiance. And at this time, I'll ask
Zach Alman to lead us in a prayer and if
[0:33] Micah Copus will lead us in the pledge
to follow
[0:42] Lord to come to you tonight just asking

[0:51] best decisions for the future of
Memphis. Lord, I ask that you just be
[0:55] with each and every one of us in here
today as we took time out of our day to
[0:58] be here at this meeting. Care about the
community so much that we're here to
[1:04] fight for what we believe in.
We thank you for all your many blessings
[1:08] you give us, the opportunities you
present to us every day. We're so
[1:11] grateful
to stand stand on this earth that you
[1:15] provided.
We dare you name
[1:24] I aliance to the flag of the United
States of America and to the republic
[1:30] for which it stands. One nation under
God, indivisible, with liberty and
[1:36] justice for all.
>> All right. Well, glad to see a great
[1:41] turnout here tonight for our our
non-counsel meeting. Again, this is our
[1:45] call meeting tonight and we're going to
start out here with uh our public
[1:49] comment. Citizens are limited to three
minutes to address the city council.
[1:53] regarding any issues of concern or items
on the agenda. So again, this is opening
[1:59] the floor if anybody would like to speak
up before we get going here tonight.
[2:06] » All right. Well, one, two. You want to
say something? Wait,
[2:09] » I would like to
>> go right ahead.
[2:11] » Okay. Hi, I prepared a couple notes. My
name is Joanna Buckner. I'm at 1321 West
[2:16] Bradford. Thank you for allowing me to
address the council tonight. My husband
[2:20] and I have made a concerted effort to be
present here at city council and among
[2:25] town and really make ourselves a part of
the community as we've been here.
[2:28] [snorts] And we are really happy with
Memphis and Memphis has a lot going for
[2:33] it and we see a good future for Memphis
and one of the things I want to point
[2:38] out is this country was founded by risk
takers and those who are willing to take
[2:44] a risk to make things better. So, in
saying that, we're really happy that the
[2:49] city is looking at fire safety
ordinances and ordinances to make things
[2:54] safer within our town. Uh, in saying
that, looking at what is on the agenda
[2:59] tonight, we do want to say if we're
going to look at things for RV parks
[3:03] specifically, we also need to look at
things within the city like houses that
[3:08] are a blight or maybe need to be torn
down or just need remediation. things
[3:14] that are fire safety hazards within the
midtown. Looking at things like uh
[3:18] proper address labels for houses so that
ENT fire police are able to identify
[3:25] said locations so that they're not
looking around town like Rex mentioned
[3:29] at the last meeting trying to find out
who called where.
[3:34] Those things are super important. I know
I'm limited on my time. So, uh, we are
[3:38] very proud of the people who are the
risktakers in this town who are trying
[3:41] to build businesses such as the RV parks
and we don't want to see them penalized
[3:45] in the sense of making it so difficult
to grow a business that they're unable
[3:50] to continue for it because it is not a
small business venture in order to set
[3:55] one of these places up. It's hundreds of
thousands of dollars to get an RV park
[3:59] really set up. So, in saying that, while
we're looking at those things, let's
[4:04] take into consideration the local area
as well and look at things like the
[4:09] rental houses, the current existing
structures. What do we need to fix? How
[4:13] can we help blacks and everybody else
send out the letters, get things cleaned
[4:18] up so that everybody can pro be proud of
the city that they're in, not just the
[4:21] people who are coming in to see these RV
parks. And uh in keeping with all of
[4:26] that um you know I I know that
you guys are have a lot on your plate.
[4:31] It's hard to catch up with city
ordinances if there's not already
[4:34] ordinances in place. There are things on
the state level that have already been
[4:38] put into place and we can kind of pull
some of those just to find them. And if
[4:42] you want help, I'm happy to help. I will
donate my time. Um but I think you guys
[4:46] are doing a great job.
Keep up the good work. Let's look at the
[4:51] whole picture, not just the art.
>> All right. Thank you. Thank you.
[4:56] » I'd like to speak. Go ahead. [snorts]
>> I know you think I sound like a program.
[5:01] My biggest concern is is that this is
once in a lifetime oper opportunity,
[5:06] generational opportunities.
And we as a city of Memphis ought to do
[5:12] what we can to allow our locals to
profit from this instead of hurt our
[5:18] locals. And that's my biggest concern
because this is the only time we're
[5:22] going to be able to help our local
people do anything. And you know that we
[5:26] are one of the if no way the number two
lowest economic, socially, economically
[5:31] uh county in the state of Texas. So we
do have an opportunity for some of our
[5:37] people to make money out of this. Let's
don't hurt them uh by kicking them in
[5:42] the shin. I mean that's all I want to
say.
[5:44] » Sure. That's fine.
>> Anybody else? But there is opportunity
[5:47] you said and there is things that do
need to be worked on there. It's going
[5:50] to be rough like the Sure sanitation.
Understand that.
[5:55] » I have one fact that was brought to my
attention earlier. The infrastructure
[6:00] was built for a much higher population
than we have at this time. So the people
[6:06] that are concerned about it handling
more people especially at the level that
[6:11] we are growing right now should not even
be
[6:15] » right. It's just another rock to throw.
[6:20] » Um good evening. My name is Amy Trible
and I'm speaking tonight regarding the
[6:25] proposed RV park ordinance. Um I'm
speaking tonight as a nearby resident by
[6:30] the RV park and I want to share concerns
that I believe are important for the
[6:34] ordinance to address. I urge the council
to include fencing requirements and
[6:38] enforceable quiet hours in the
ordinance. I live near the RV park on
[6:44] 18th in my family and I have had
repeated instances of people coming onto
[6:48] my property at all hours of the day and
night. In one instance, the property
[6:53] owner was present when it occurred. This
is a serious safety concern. A properly
[6:59] maintained fence is not about
appearance. It establishes clear
[7:03] property boundaries, helps prevent
trespassing, and protects neighboring
[7:07] residents. I was told over a month ago
by the property owner that a fence would
[7:12] be installed, and no progress has been
made. This is exactly why the
[7:16] requirement should be written into the
ordinance rather than relying on verbal
[7:21] promises or individual agreements. I
also know that residents near other RV
[7:27] parks have voiced similar concerns
regarding property lines, fencing, and
[7:31] the impact on surrounding properties. I
also ask that quiet hours be included in
[7:36] the ordinance to help protect nearby
residents from late night noise, music,
[7:40] and disturbances. I support growth in
development of Memphis, but it should
[7:44] not come at the expense of nearby
residents safety and quality of life.
[7:48] Including fencing requirements in the
ordinance and enforcing quiet hours
[7:53] would set clear expectations and ensure
these issues are addressed consistently
[7:59] rather than le left to informal
promises. Including these requirements
[8:04] in the ordinance ensures accountability
and prevents these issues from being
[8:08] handled on a case-byase basis. Thank you
for your time.
[8:11] » Thank you.
>> All right. Anybody else? Okay, we'll get
[8:16] rolling there. Go ahead.
>> I just want to speak on the
[8:20] infrastructure that everybody's worried
about. Yes, I did. I had limited time,
[8:25] but I did. We are our uh permit uh
allows us $365,000
[8:32] I mean
>> gallons a day,
[8:35] » which if you calculate that, that's uh
>> you're talking about
[8:40] into the into the system.
>> And on the average in uh
[8:48] 2000 we had which we had
it wasn't the biggest population but it
[8:54] was like 500 people more. Uh we were
having 50 million that that roughly uh
[9:00] goes to about 117 million that we do for
the year. And that year we did 50
[9:06] million which we're not by any means
close to.
[9:10] » Okay.
>> So you're basically addressing that that
[9:13] we're for improvement,
>> right? Just to
[9:15] » our infrastructure can.
>> Yes. And as of uh 23 we had 22 million
[9:21] that come in. That's uh when you're
capable of 17 million you get 22 million
[9:27] or less.
It is not [clears throat]
[9:30] a concern that not water or uh sewer.
>> How are water wells? I was told
[9:42] by very very reliable person that we are
in need of a new water well.
[9:47] » We are but it's not a
we've tried it. Uh the last time I was
[9:53] two years ago, but it's uh over half a
million dollar. Obviously, we don't have
[9:58] that that money. Uh we've got five good
whales. We've got two gas, two electric
[10:06] or three electric. That way we run out
of gas, we have electric. We run out of
[10:11] electric, we have the gas.
>> Will they keep up with more water coming
[10:16] through? Well, our biggest deal is we've
always been the top the the the
[10:20] forefathers have always thought about
this
[10:24] » and right now I mean people ask us why
do we have so much I have a,820,000
[10:30] gallons uh on standby
>> is that with green belt?
[10:35] » No sir we don't use green belt that is
strictly out of our
[10:38] » the green belt line has been used in 18
years
[10:43] long
>> it does not mix. They went to tomies. We
[10:47] were using toine and they do not mix
without us adding ammonia and it does
[10:53] not
but we have in at a cost of uh I would
[10:59] say no less than
a,700,000.
[11:05] We're it it should be there at the 820
which is when our tanks were off and of
[11:11] course that's within us just like the
other night we had that loop we had that
[11:16] line that both come in it was uh it was
putting out 500 gallons
[11:21] » for that loop not to mention what the
firefighters were having
[11:28] » all right
>> granted that's not you know wasn't just
[11:31] for days and days and days we're We're
very well set for water and waste water.
[11:41] » All right. Thank you, Junior. Uh,
you know, I can also speak for three
[11:46] minutes. Also, I want to I want to bring
up the city of Memphis is not the it's
[11:51] been, you know, we're talking about
addressing what's going to happen around
[11:54] here with the city council. Are we
ready? And all that. So, all that's come
[11:58] to be and and and then of course the RV
deals are going up uh maybe quicker than
[12:03] we thought, but that's fine and dandy.
One great thing about our our you know,
[12:07] we have our water system outside of
town. That water only goes to Texas.
[12:12] We're just so blessed to have drinkable
water. I think we've got best water
[12:18] ever. I mean, I drink it all the time,
but we're so lucky there. The only the
[12:22] thing that was brought up about any kind
of a regulation as far as city council
[12:26] and ordinance goes is we don't really
have any other than we have to go with
[12:31] what the state and they just they have
some new ordinances about RV parks and
[12:35] stuff like that. So we we would have to
basically the people that have one or
[12:39] whatever would have to adopt those
standards and I guess it would be up to
[12:43] city council to follow through on that.
So we don't have any standards. Amy
[12:47] brings up some great points that uh that
we need to be aware of. Fire safety.
[12:53] That's one thing that we talked about
our last council meeting the other night
[12:56] where we were as far as putting all that
together, making sure that um you know,
[13:00] we can pass on to the to the citizens of
Memphis that are going to do this that
[13:04] that um you know that we have to follow
the state law. So, we don't really have
[13:08] any anything on our own on our books. Uh
talking about uh fencing, I had a
[13:15] gentleman bring up that uh there was a
place going up and he lives next door,
[13:20] has three uh girls and was was
interested about having a privacy fence,
[13:24] you know, to keep that going. So that
was brought up. So I don't I don't you
[13:28] know that may be something we look at. I
think quiet hours is another very
[13:32] important thing. And so that would be
the same thing that you would do if
[13:35] somebody's living in a house next door
to you or whatever other than if you're
[13:39] going to have a number of people maybe
the the fencing. So, uh, the city
[13:43] council and I'm speaking on behalf of
city council, we don't have any
[13:48] anything. It's all been brought up on
what what we can do in order to provide
[13:53] the best u uh oversight and not get in
the way like Ronnie was saying about
[13:58] people doing that. that we can't uh uh I
don't think we're going to go out and I
[14:04] don't council up to them tonight to
bring some things up, but uh our packet
[14:08] was put together. We have a bunch of
ordinance from other cities, things that
[14:12] we've looked over and consider and same
thing on our little golf cart deal and
[14:16] all that. So, I just wanted to bring all
that up and if anybody on the council
[14:20] like to say anything as far as our open
session here goes and you
[14:25] » Yeah, I'd like to add one thing that has
[clears throat] always been on my mind
[14:29] and I would like to state that uh as a
council as as a town that we never
[14:36] considered a pipe water out here,
>> right? because that's I know there's
[14:41] money that the state come along and say
you're going to you know right now we're
[14:47] so
>> in my 35 years here that is not
[14:50] » yeah I mean
>> what you want to do look at look at
[14:53] climate
>> absolutely
[14:54] » I would ask that you never even consider
>> not to you could pipe it 30 miles and I
[15:00] know
>> we have the storage we have the water
[15:05] but please do not ever consider that
>> no I think We're very very lucky on that
[15:11] behalf.
>> All right. Uh so let's go ahead and move
[15:14] on. Any anybody else want to speak up on
any anything before we move on? All
[15:19] right. Now we go ahead and uh bring up
old business. Uh look for a motion to
[15:23] remove the table items off the table.
We've got a few there.
[15:32] » I got a motion two second. All in favor.
>> All right. Second. Oh.
[15:39] U
second it
[15:43] unanimous. Okay. Discuss and consider
amendments to the golf c golf cart
[15:47] ordinance. I don't remember it being
that thick when we did it a while back.
[15:53] But I think we need to uh shorten this
thing down a little bit. put on their
[15:57] golf cart or side by side with are uh
are legal to be driven on the streets of
[16:04] Memphis, Texas with a permit except on
16th Street and uh and uh null highway
[16:11] 254 [snorts] because the Texas state law
speed limit on public streets in our
[16:15] ordinance here says 30 miles an hour.
That's fine. Uh I think all vehicles
[16:20] wishing to operate in town need to be
permitted, which was brought up for
[16:23] safety reasons. uh permitted. That would
be people going back to the golf course
[16:28] or riding around town. And they have to
have their uh slow sign on the rear.
[16:33] Have to also provide insurance, which is
part of our permitting process through
[16:38] the city of Memphis. And uh would be
also have their insurance and the the
[16:44] sticker and the sign always posted on
the vehicle at all times. And to operate
[16:49] at night, I think it'd be easy enough to
kind of scale that down that they would
[16:52] have to have front and rear lights
And that would be about it. Underage
[16:58] drivers, I think it'd be 16 or under.
And uh but this there there's so much
[17:03] stuff in here. It's rather thick. So I
think we ought to just make it if
[17:07] there's anybody operating the vehicle in
town, uh we're going to require them to
[17:11] be permitted for our liability
reasons.
[17:16] Council have anything else to say on
that? Or how would we go about skimming
[17:20] that down a little bit? I think the
biggest thing is because this says in
[17:25] this ordinance that they're not allowed
>> in the second paragraph.
[17:29] » So that needs to be that's what
>> I remove that and then I was trying to
[17:36] get for those that have the golf carts
that don't have lights, let y'all permit
[17:42] those and use them for daylight hours
only and with hand signals. That way
[17:46] everybody can use their golf carts.
Fair is fair. Really?
[17:53] » So during the day, they don't have to
have any lights
[17:56] » during the day, I would say. Yeah. No
lights as long as they're using hand
[18:00] signal.
There are a lot of golf carts that I see
[18:03] driving up down the road that don't have
lights.
[18:05] » And what about uh
it says the person has to have a valid
[18:10] driver's license.
>> Correct. That's state law.
[18:14] » It's operated on the road. It has to be
a drive valid driver license. So, what
[18:18] about electronic bicycles?
>> What are the
[18:22] » Now, you want to get into that.
This falls into the same thing.
[18:26] » Well, the they're still writing some
stuff on the bicycles because certain
[18:31] certain electric bicycles start getting
into
[18:36] actually being motor vehicles at that
point. And once they're over a certain
[18:41] cc or speed,
>> then they're going to need licenses and
[18:44] insurance and helmets.
And the thing about the golf cart too is
[18:49] if there's a tournament that's late and
you can't get to your house
[18:54] and you have no headlines. I mean, you
have to make some type of
[18:59] » Well, you can say unless you know,
unless [clears throat]
[19:01] tournaments,
[19:08] » you drive.
>> Easy.
[19:12] » Oh, I know you do it all the time.
I know they do all
[19:17] » they can call you and you guess
all my
[19:22] » So what's the council have to say about
just at this point
[19:27] holding that uh uh paragraph B.
[snorts] So that kind of contradicts
[19:34] what the ordinance was about the
original. But there are sure a lot of
[19:38] papers uh here with it. We want to add
some more to it for
[19:43] emphasize golf carts and off-road
vehicles
[19:46] » right side by side
>> 4x4s are not
[19:49] » four that's not
>> dirt bikes are not
[19:51] » no you're talking about something where
you're sitting in it with a wheel about
[19:55] kids that are uh not of a legal age but
they're uh going back and forth to the
[20:01] golf course during the day
>> law says they can't do it
[20:04] » I know some kids going over there to
play golf but
[20:07] » what about the high school kids they
play golf we have golf with high school
[20:10] so they are they not allowed to wear
their golf carts either Well, that's
[20:14] what
>> state
[20:17] driver
[20:41] » I don't think has a
[20:46] So if they school they should be shown
to
[20:50] » by the school
[20:55] board.
>> All right. So
[20:58] » I'll put this in as presented
[21:05] » presented.
[21:08] remove that.
>> So, at this time, you want to go ahead
[21:12] and make a motion to remove B.
>> Paragraph B.
[21:15] » Paragraph B.
>> And we have a second over here.
[21:18] » Are we going to add the other golfers?
>> Are we
[21:22] Are we going to add the other golf cart?
Right now, you're required to have
[21:27] front, rear lights,
insurance, all that stuff. Allow the
[21:31] ones without lights to be operated on
the street. We got plenty of them on
[21:34] there. We may as well register them and
get them insured.
[21:41] whether it's daytime or night time.
>> Well, the one thing about getting a
[21:47] permit is that that clears us for a
legal liability that they actually don't
[21:50] know what the rules are, you know, and
it's not us, but somebody could come
[21:54] back. So, we're not enforcing it and so
on, get run over. That's what happens.
[21:58] Ruins it for everybody. But
want to make an amendment on your
[22:04] » Yeah.
>> Mortgage there
[22:06] » with the time addendum
[22:11] front and side reflectors all the add to
the city code 11046.
[22:19] » So all
>> you want to make a motion that all golf
[22:23] carts and side by sides need to be
permitted if operated in the city of
[22:26] Memphis
and then and then I pull this paragraph
[22:30] B.
>> That sound about right? We put an
[22:35] exclusion on their tournaments.
[22:43] Go ahead.
>> Can I question what you're asking? You
[22:46] want to remove
[22:59] » with the exception of I guess
tournament.
[23:04] I don't I don't know how you
>> how do you enforce
[23:10] what?
>> Well, you just kind of let it go on with
[23:13] tournament weekend and the rest of time.
[23:20] » You're going to have a lot of town
people riding around,
[23:26] » you know, that weekend. There's, you
know, they're getting ready to have this
[23:29] coming weekend. So you have a lot of
people there stay at the hotel or
[23:33] wherever they're staying they golf
>> no take weekend off [laughter]
[23:44] » you know it's like county picnic weekend
where kids are riding their stuff all
[23:48] over town
>> on Saturday.
[23:52] » So during Hall County Picnic the kids
can't ride their golf carts in the
[23:55] parade either if they don't have a
license. Well, they they do it. So, that
[23:58] would be that would be an exception,
would they?
[24:02] » By law, no.
>> And they ride
[24:05] because they ride around town. It's kind
of like a free free day.
[24:08] » Will I enforce it? No. But by law, yes,
they're required.
[24:13] » But just on a regular basis is what
we're talking about here
[24:17] other than special circumstances.
[24:35] Well, what why don't we just do this?
We'll move uh paragraph B tonight and
[24:39] then we'll bring it back up
and look at the whatifs and all that.
[24:46] You know,
go to other towns.
[24:50] » They're driving them around after
tournament. So, I I don't see how you're
[24:54] going to enforce that.
I [snorts] don't. But if they hit
[24:57] somebody,
>> well, we've had them thrown out of
[25:01] cards, too.
>> Hit cars.
[25:04] » So, you want to make it easy with that?

>> I've got some stuff, but uh let's go.
[27:00] Can we take it to the next meeting like

[27:04] » Well, don't say that. We got a crap here
today.
[27:08] » Always do. Wait a minute.
>> Yeah, I'm still doing some I I still got

[27:22] me, Lisa. All in favor?
>> I
[27:25] » You get that?
>> Second by.
[27:28] [clears throat]
>> All right, next up, discuss and consider
[27:31] the National Fire Prevention Association
code enforcement for RB parks.
[27:37] And along with that uh
there's also what is the one that just
[27:45] came down from the state? What what else
is the other? What's the heading of name
[27:49] of that bill or whatever
>> other than the fire? What's it?
[27:53] » Yep.
>> So Rex handed out in this packet. So
[27:57] this has to do governor Abbott back
September of 25 of last year. Uh the
[28:01] heavens 27 camp safety act. Uh this had
to do with the uh the camp Mystic
[28:06] flooding and any anyhow
Governor Greg Abbott signed NFPA 1194
[28:13] the law. So I just I just got 1194 here,
but it's there's a lot of there's a lot
[28:19] of stipulations in there and codes that
all existing RV parks and new
[28:25] constructed RV parks you don't have to
follow. So, I just got this I got this
[28:30] here press time, but uh I've got the
bill that Governor Ab signed into law
[28:35] and uh the U says right here now
withstanding chapter 764 health and
[28:41] safety code is added by this act, the
recreational vehicle park or campground
[28:45] to which that chapter applies operating
on the effective date of this act is not
[28:49] required to comply with that chapter
before September 1st, 2026. So
[28:54] everything that's in NFPA 1194, all
existing RV parks and all new
[29:00] constructed RV parks to that standard
>> by
[29:04] » state law by this is state law. It's
supposed to be
[29:10] » that's that's coming from Governor
Abbott.
[29:13] » All right.
>> So with that, who is the one that
[29:18] enforces that?
>> That will be your fire marshal. And is
[29:22] Nickif?
[29:26] » No. So,
>> so let's see. So, the discussion I had
[29:29] with
[29:33] so according according to our city
ordinance what was passed excuse me.
[29:40] So in uh let's see in March of 23 the uh
office of the fire marshall was created
[29:49] and it says that the fire marshall shall
be properly qualified for the duties of
[29:53] his office which include the power to
make arrest and shall shall be shall be
[29:58] removed only for cost. He shall serve on
a voluntary basis without compensation.
[30:04] The other thing that goes into our city
ordinance as well, it says uh the fire
[30:09] prevention code shall be enforced by the
fire marshal. The fire marshal shall be
[30:14] exeicio chief of the fire prevention
bureau. The fire marshall may detail
[30:18] such members of the fire department as
inspectors and shall from time to time
[30:22] be necessary.
So chief plant is the fire marshal um
[30:29] according to according to our according
to statute or according to our ordinance
[30:35] but you know yes as far as the
credentiing Nick has the credential. So
[30:40] Nick does the inspections and if there's
anything out
[30:43] » that's that's according to how far
>> that's how we
[30:48] point it out and then if you needed a
ticket break that out
[30:52] » so the people that have already picked
up building permit to do uh the RV
[30:56] business here in Memphis will contact
them make sure they have a copy of that
[31:00] or just enforce them
>> well they should get a copy of the house
[31:04] » well I mean a permit should other ones
that I'm that already in progress.
[31:12] » Yeah. I mean, whenever you come in, you
get a copy of it.
[31:17] » Oh, so we have a copy?
>> Yes.
[31:19] » Okay. No, we didn't before.
[31:24] » They didn't give you a copy that you
[31:29] have it signed in place.
[31:35] » Well, so we I think we just got it. Did
we?
[31:37] » I got it Friday. Right. So, I mean,
we'll follow up on that to make sure
[31:41] everything's, you know, we're not it's
not anything that we're the city of
[31:44] Memphis is doing.
>> So, can we have copies here? So, if they
[31:47] didn't get it, they can come get one.
>> Yes.
[31:49] » How are we supposed to know what we're
going to have to
[31:53] » I'll put together a packet
>> online?
[32:02] » Well, it's it's nothing. It's it's all
new to us, too. I mean, this is just
[32:06] kind of a whirlwind deal. I mean, we We
don't, like I said, we don't have any
[32:09] ordinances on the the books as far as
that goes other than just following what
[32:13] the state's directive is.
>> We're just talking.
[32:18] » Yeah. But I'm just as far as all the
[32:23] » It's just you.
[32:29] So right now, if I'm understanding it,
Rex is leaving at the end of se No, end
[32:37] of August. September, maybe next week. I
don't know.
[32:39] » Okay. So when the county does take over
after he retires, then it'll be the
[32:47] their county will do that.
>> We'll appoint somebody probably out of
[32:50] here because it's city.
>> Oh, okay.
[32:53] » Yeah.
[32:56] » Okay. And then and then Mr. At that
time, you know, it says in our ordinance
[33:01] that, you know, it has to be an
arresting officer. But that that's just
[33:04] that is as far a lost
to make that call with it's the Texas
[33:09] Fire Prevention, the Texas Commission on
Fire Prevention that a fire marshal does
[33:14] not have to be [clears throat] officer.
It's up to our local jurisdiction. So
[33:18] basically you can repeal the ordinance
depending on how one week when you get
[33:23] down to the end of September that that
ordinance can be repealed and then you
[33:28] can you can change change orders to
require the fire marshall not to be
[33:33] arresting officer that it can be it can
be somebody.
[33:38] So over here back under discuss and
consider the national fire prevention
[33:41] association code enforcement parts. Uh I
think the easiest thing to do is have
[33:46] that available and we'll uh contact the
the people that have already had a
[33:50] permit that we have that for them and
we'll go with that and that would
[33:53] basically take care of seeing then
wouldn't it
[33:57] » so we need to
>> adopt this?
[34:02] » No, I mean that's
>> national fire.
[34:04] » It's state law.
>> I'm just saying that we to discuss and
[34:08] consider. Basically what we want what
I'm saying is we we just have have that
[34:12] packet available to make sure that
everything's good but it's not what
[34:15] we're doing.
>> Yes. So so when we drafted the agenda we
[34:19] put it out in Tuesday of last week. I
was not aware of the 1194 NPA
[34:24] requirement. So and that's that's part
of everything that got put together in
[34:28] pack that was put out Friday that this
was signed into state law last September
[34:33] by Governor Ab. So, it's it's not it's
not as far as us adopting the NFPA code
[34:39] that was adopted back we adopted the
code back in 23
[34:43] » and uh and under it's 693 but we we
follow the NFPA code but this is this is
[34:51] just Governor Abbott's
signing state law and we we have to
[34:57] abide by that. So, we're we're already
we're already uh we're already with it
[35:03] as far as as far as what what NFP
regulations are out there and I've got
[35:09] it here and I'll make copies for
everyone and be found on the internet
[35:13] too, but I'll make copies for everyone
and everybody.
[35:17] » So, somebody want to make a motion have
that available to pass out to our permit
[35:23] recipients. I will make the motion that
we have
[35:31] available.
>> Yeah.
[35:35] » All right. That all right with everybody
got a motion to do that. You want to
[35:39] second that. Win.
>> All right. All in favor?
[35:43] » All right. You vote?
>> I
[35:47] » unanimous. Okay. All right. Next up
here, discuss and consider creation of
[35:51] city ordinances on RV parks. And as far
as
[35:57] I think the city council goes, we don't
have any.
[36:03] Is that right?
>> Yeah. So,
[36:05] » and other than I think that the idea
about uh this maybe discussing the idea
[36:10] of maybe the fencing issue possibly
depends on you know something to look at
[36:16] and uh quiet hours and I think uh was
also brought up about house numbers
[36:22] that's been brought up in the past and
we may just have to put the numbers down
[36:26] for somebody's house on make sure that
that's uh visible at those locations too
[36:33] because we have you
people doing deliveries. We have uh uh
[36:37] ambulances going out and can't find it.
So, we tried to do a deal. The the
[36:42] school was going to sell them one time.
We sold a few. But, I think it's
[36:45] something the city council was going to
have to go around and put up and charge
[36:50] people $10 or whatever it cost to get
that little reflective plate on there.
[36:54] Make sure every house has it uh where
they can see it. I've seen ambulances
[36:59] going up and down streets looking for a
house with all their lights on.
[37:04] Yeah, I just so so as far as the what
was in your packet is you know the
[37:09] ordinances that have been placed for you
know surrounding communities and what
[37:13] they put in there. So with that being
said in NFPA 1194 I think it it would be
[37:19] a suggestion that maybe the mayor
appoint an ad hoc committee that we can
[37:23] go through and we can cross reference
1194 with what what other ordinances
[37:27] that you see in the packet that you may
want to far as fencing restrictions. You
[37:32] know, there's there's several things in
there. I I haven't gone through 1194 to
[37:35] to see what the the correspondence is
between the the other ordinances passed,
[37:40] but that's something I think that we
that the mayor needs to put together an
[37:44] ad hoc committee with people with the
council members and we go through line
[37:47] by line and cross reference with the
line 1194 and then we can present it uh
[37:53] present it and have a hearing for people
for review and then make any necessary
[37:57] amendments that go from there.
[38:04] All right. Well, uh I guess as far as
that goes, would you be interested in
[38:09] serving on that
in that? Anybody else like to volunteer
[38:13] to be part of
that? That could be got one more person
[38:17] like serve.
>> I'll do it.
[38:19] » You'll put those three on there and then
by time we get ready for our next
[38:24] council meeting coming up in uh June,
then we can look at that. I don't we
[38:29] don't need to another call meeting right
away. Do we?
[38:32] » I don't think so.
>> Okay.
[38:36] » All right. Uh
we move on that good.
[38:42] You got all that, Molly?
>> Yes.
[38:44] » Okay. Discuss and consider amendment to
the city building permit.
[38:54] » Yes.
[38:58] I table this to the next city council
meeting.
[39:03] » I'll second.
>> We got a motion to table that. Second
[39:06] over here.
All in favor?
[39:10] » All right. Motion carries.
>> Uh that it
[39:21] » all right. Uh I'll see if this council
wants to say anything. We'll wrap this
[39:25] meeting up here.
>> We still have the That's a city building
[39:28] permit.
>> Huh?
[39:29] » We still have E.
>> Oh, I thought you saying table that.
[39:34] » No, but together committee on D. Okay.
Discuss and consider amendment for the
[39:38] city building for
[39:54] » that question. Was the is the issue or a
question of NPA 1194 and the ordinance
[40:01] being limited to the discussion for RV
parks?
[40:06] I think it's uh I don't
>> I guess one thing is were the board not
[40:12] also looking to all residential
structures as an example uh NFPA1 talks
[40:18] of uninhabited
dwellings residential the requirement
[40:23] that all combustibles be removed
exterior interior property it's a major
[40:29] fire hazard concern as we're
experiencing right now wildfires um this
[40:34] is about the health protection
and safety of city of Memphis. We need
[40:38] to exped
[40:52] uh we had our open session at the
beginning that young lady was making
[40:56] making a comment about uh buyer safety
housing buildings as well. So I think
[41:01] lady back here. So that we need to
consider that as a whole too. Not just
[41:04] that, but that's what seems to be the
hot topic right now. But yeah, you're
[41:08] right. We need to be aware of all that.
[41:20] We're we're we're uh don't have a code
on that, a building code, but we follow
[41:25] with the state
uh requires.
[41:30] So, you don't you don't have we don't
have a building inspector for the city
[41:34] of Memphis. Yeah, some cities do, but we
don't have that. And that's
[41:37] » we have it in code.
>> What?
[41:41] » In the code that
electric will be inspected by the
[41:45] electrical inspector is in
>> I don't think so.
[41:50] Jack
[42:01] was
>> Did we see something in the code that
[42:04] says electric needs to be inspected?
>> Yes, there's a in the building
[42:08] [clears throat] in the building
regulations.
[42:12] In the building regulations, we do have
uh
[42:16] you know that's under our electrical
code, plumbing code, um building
[42:21] inspections
official. That's all that's all in there
[42:25] as far as Yes, we're supposed to have
those.
[42:28] » Have an inspector?
>> Yes.
[42:30] » Yeah. So, like an electrical city never
had one.
[42:34] » Yeah.
>> When he was here was an inspector when
[42:38] he was here, I believe he did it right.
on the building.
[42:58] » So, so with with a plumbing with a
plumbing inspection, that's a that's a
[43:02] TCQ requirement for it's a CSI customer
service inspection. So that's Texas
[43:08] commission quality makes us do that and
that's where we have licensed plumbers
[43:12] go through and before everything's
>> somebody tank than the person that's
[43:17] putting it in has to be licensed in
order to put [snorts]
[43:22] » the only thing we've ever done on the
electrical require a and that's just
[43:27] talking to him that a certified
electrician does.
[43:33] We really have no
[43:39] We always require certified electrician
to do the jobs which all these that have
[43:45] been putting in right now are
the
[43:50] but if there were there's no really
nothing we can mention the plumbing
[43:55] basically plumbing part would be our
city hooking it up to a city outlet. So
[44:00] you have you have yours there and long
as that you know they're okay with that
[44:04] then that takes care of that.
>> So so going back going back to your
[44:08] electrical inspection it was it was
adopted in 2005. It says uh it's a
[44:14] 402093
office of electrical inspector
[44:18] established says hereby created the
office of electrical inspector who shall
[44:22] be appointed by the mayor subject to
confirmation by the city council. He
[44:26] shall have at least two years experience
as an electrician, shall be good of good
[44:29] moral character, shall be versed in the
approved methods of electrical
[44:33] construction for safety of life and
property in the national electric code
[44:37] and shall receive such compensation as
the city council may decide.
[44:42] » And who was that person?
[44:54] » That's interesting.
I went here at that time.
[44:57] » That's interesting.
>> Okay, sounds good.
[45:01] » So, just just one thing I believe,
correct me if I'm wrong, chief plant,
[45:06] you you've had discussion with some
local electric contractors about
[45:09] providing some of this service.
But the main thing is if we're requiring
[45:15] them to be licensed, then
my next step was I was going to approach
[45:21] somebody approach
electric see if they had somebody
[45:25] interested doing it as a per site basis.
However much like the plumbing thing I
[45:30] think what are we charging 75
>> so you see what they want for the
[45:38] property have to pay for it.
[45:42] wouldn't be able to
[45:52] » We're not doing this for me. We're just
This stuff's been on the books.
[45:57] » So, [clears throat] would all the
electrical inspections, the plumbing
[46:00] inspections, would they be also for the
Airbnbs in town and the hotels and the
[46:04] rent houses and all that, too?
>> Well, it would be any new construction,
[46:08] I would guess, or any addition anytime
they touch what's already there when
[46:12] » there's new construction not old
construction
[46:17] they're working on if they're coming in
to do something the whole idea
[46:20] » is new and existing
>> yes so if they're touching what they're
[46:25] already doing you know if they're adding
on or whatever what do you have there
[46:29] » section 42 096 um specifically states
completion of wiring installation or
[46:35] alteration of any building or structure
for light heat power appliance or
[46:38] apparatus uh must be
>> that was to go back and check things
[46:43] out. Anything
>> new any addition?
[46:52] » Well, so where are we on having to
discuss consider the city building
[46:56] permit? We have to find get somebody do
that then.
[47:00] » I think the reason I don't think they
ever adopted it is they could never get
[47:03] anybody and u
electrician
[47:10] » [clears throat]
>> probably
[47:18] electrician.
[47:23] » Yeah.
>> Since there may not be one specific
[47:26] master electrician in Memphis that would
be necessarily obtained by the city of
[47:30] Memphis, could we put together a list of
approved master electricians that could
[47:35] do the jobs?
>> Yeah. So that it wouldn't be a, you
[47:39] know,
>> you don't have to have a person. Yeah.
[47:41] » Yes.
[47:47] » Most people do electrical work around
here. They do it because they know how
[47:50] to hook the wires up.
[48:01] here. Somebody want to make a motion to
go ahead and follow follow what the
[48:05] ordinance is in ' 05
and
[48:09] work on getting that done.
It looks like we should have done it in
[48:19] order.
I got a question. So the people that's
[48:22] in construction,
how long it's going to take y'all to
[48:26] find somebody? They got to stop
construction
[48:30] electrician to uh I mean because up
come in after
[48:38] you wait like me myself. Do I need to
wait until she get inspector in to
[48:45] inspect before I can rent it out?
>> I I would say no. And I don't think I
[48:49] don't want to have to take the heat for
all that.
[48:52] » I would say I would say that you know
proceed like you've been doing.
[48:56] » Proceed like you've been doing.
>> There's code on the book for that as
[48:59] well.
>> Huh?
[49:00] » There's already code for that as well.
It says a reasonable amount of time.
[49:05] » It says reasonable amount of time.
>> The failure to comply statute that's
[49:10] already on the books. It it only
specifies a reasonable amount of time.
[49:14] So if you wanted to change that
ordinance, you would have to vote on
[49:17] what is reasonable.
>> I just think right now priority should
[49:21] be finding somebody getting a list
together of approved master electricians
[49:25] and getting it as soon as possible so
people that want to do it and are doing
[49:29] it can get up and running and it doesn't
nothing comes back later on. It goes
[49:34] ahead and
we get this figured out sooner rather
[49:38] than later.
>> We should have had this much activity
[49:40] around here since I've been here a few
decades. So
[49:44] That's interesting. Great.
>> If you're going to build something,
[49:46] you're going to have to have it in
electrical inspector.
[49:50] » Electrical and plumbing says once you
get it
[49:55] run,
>> then they have to come in and inspect it
[49:58] and then they have to over
[50:05] » I think the inspector will
>> report back here.
[50:08] » Reports back to us and says it's a go or
no go.
[50:11] » You want to say something, Bob? is a
majority of the time that your insurance
[50:16] is going to require that your electrical
systems are certified
[50:22] and that your uh before you can the
electric company will h will hook up
[50:29] anything anymore require that it be
>> add on to what your your existing
[50:35] » if you're going to add on they're going
to require it be inspected before that
[50:39] before they will put the meter back in
And I know your insurance is a big deal
[50:46] on that.
[51:09] Somebody else
[51:20] know how to do it. But again, it goes
back to licensing.
[51:29] Somebody want to make a motion we follow
up on this at D here. Discuss consider
[51:35] building permit.
>> So the second page,
[51:40] » huh?
>> Well, I'm talking about E here
[51:44] discussing the city building per
this bill. Yes.
[51:50] » Well, that would go back to what's been
brought up as far as electrical. make
[51:53] sure they hold that.
[51:58] I
>> mean, I guess we better must must make a
[52:00] motion on it. Sound like it's should
have been done to add if we have the
[52:05] plumbing right here and saying there
will be an additional $75 inspection
[52:09] fee. I think we need to have electrical
too.
[52:13] » We need we need to find out for sure if
it's only $75,
[52:16] » but I mean we also need to look more
into our city ordinances. We need to
[52:20] fact check before we just go to amending
and approving stuff. We need to go in
[52:24] and check and make sure we're not
contradicting what we already have
[52:28] » because there is some stuff that Leslie
just showed me that uh you are allowed
[52:32] to do your own renovation on your own
property.
[52:35] » You are in Texas.
>> Yeah. Without requiring without getting
[52:39] a permit,
>> right?
[52:44] » Well, you can you can make a motion. We
can we're going to
[52:49] go over there
in that seen
[52:56] » electrical inspector. Can we get our own
electrical inspector and then come and
[53:00] show you or submit it to y'all?
>> I'm saying I think so. I don't I don't
[53:04] » That's when we're talking about getting
a master list of all master electricians
[53:07] in the area that you can go from and
call them in and they will uh they can
[53:13] come do the inspection. I know they are
saying we need to have our inspection
[53:16] right now. So
>> well I mean not right now it'll happen
[53:19] but as soon as it says in a timely
manner but you know in children for
[53:23] instance they have a building code
inspector. So if anybody does anything
[53:27] in town they have to go by there and
sign off on it. So you're at there kind
[53:31] of they're rehearsing but in never had
one.
[53:34] » So that's where
[53:37] » Liberty down there.
>> Liberty done yours and buddy Billy Buddy
[53:41] Billy Beloon did yours and he's a
plumber. You don't have any problems.
[53:45] » All you need is a statement.
>> You just have to have it signed off on
[53:49] basically.
>> My part's already up and running. I have
[53:52] people there already.
>> Yeah.
[53:54] » It's been open for a month now. Well,
like I said, this is all this is coming
[53:58] in here pretty quick for city council
and and we don't want to make any any
[54:04] dumb decisions or any dumb statements.
[54:08] » That's a first
[laughter]
[54:12] and you're already up and running and
you know the electrician and the plumber
[54:18] already put it in. Why didn't they sign
off on it and submit that to the city?
[54:24] » I would like that. Okay, I think that'd
be right by now.
[54:29] » I mean, if they're licensed, that'd be
fine, but other than that, if if
[54:32] somebody just wired it up and all that,
we may have to go back and get it signed
[54:35] off by somebody that's certified and
say, "Yeah, that looks good." Because,
[54:38] you know, you're going to have so you
can only hook up so much so much power
[54:42] to so many breakers and so on. And
>> so, uh, you know, we want I guess we
[54:47] want to follow what the state regulation
is. So,
[54:49] » they can't sign off on their own word.
[55:09] I'm going to make a motion that we table
this to the next council meeting
[55:13] » and we need to be looking until then
>> on until our next meeting we need to
[55:17] look at making a list of master plumbers
and master electricians in the area they
[55:21] can be put on the list Okay.
>> So, the people that currently have one
[55:25] running or are currently building one
has a list to go by.
[55:30] » All right. Got a motion to go ahead
proceed with that. Second by
[55:34] » I'm sorry. A motion to table it. You're
seconding that. All in favor?
[55:38] » I.
>> All right. That'll wrap us up on that
[55:41] end of it. Council have anything else to
say tonight or
[55:44] » on our call meeting? I want to say
thanks very much for everybody coming
[55:47] out tonight. Any final comments from the
crowd
[55:52] » about anything? I mean, go ahead.
>> You know,
[55:57] Memphis is based on agriculture. It has
been for my last five decades. Been here
[56:02] before that. And this this this
opportunity to have to grow our
[56:09] population, whether it is RV parks or
putting a new hotel. So, I'm looking
[56:15] into that,
you know. I think we should embrace it,
[56:19] but we do have to go by the state laws,
you know, but I don't think we need to
[56:24] treat it. I think what we do for RV
parks, what we're going to do to them,
[56:27] we need to do to rent houses that
nobody's lived in. I think I think we
[56:32] need to take a while to look at that. I
think that's already been versed a
[56:34] little bit. I just wanted to throw that
in there as extra. You know, RV parks
[56:39] need to be looked at. I get it. need to
go by these new fire codes and stuff,
[56:42] but I think there's a lot of other fires
fire potential
[56:47] around
that that that's all I wanted to add.
[56:51] » What about you
homes in town that burn out, people are
[56:56] living in them, they have no water,
electricity. I can point out two or
[57:00] three RVs that are parked, no
electricity or water, people living in
[57:04] it, no cure.
>> I can drive you around all over town,
[57:08] show you all stuff. And that's what
we're looking into. We want to make sure
[57:12] that we are code
>> and following state law.
[57:15] » So that that's also going to go back to
the ordinance about light clean up and
[57:20] if it's open to the outside
get in there, animals, whatever.
[57:26] » If it's a wreck and it's sealed up, then
we that they will continue to operate.
[57:31] You want to say something? So with the
fencing, does it necessarily have to be
[57:35] a privacy fence or can we just put any
fence up that they know not to go on
[57:39] other people's property?
>> At the current moment, we have no city.
[57:43] » We don't have to put a fence up if we
don't want to.
[57:45] » At the current moment, there's no city.
>> But does it necessarily
[57:50] have to be private? I would think
>> be something where they go on this side
[57:55] of their property.
>> That's that's going to be a ordinance.
[57:57] But I I would think that um uh since
there's going to be a number of people
[58:02] over there, it's probably going to want
to be a privacy fence, tell the truth.
[58:05] You know, we to hide that people's
property and and yours from multipleies.
[58:12] » Why would we have to put one up? I mean,
why can't they put their fence up?
[58:17] » Well, we'll just the council have to
address that.
[58:20] » Yeah.
[58:23] So
>> I can't answer that
[58:25] » on that note. So even state law says
you don't have to fence your animals in,
[58:32] you have to fence your animals out. So
by saying that, you're exactly right. I
[58:39] don't have to build a fence to hide my
property. You have to build a fence so
[58:43] that you don't see it. Does that make
sense? It's like the cattle law
[58:47] » open range. So,
>> don't and and I'm not saying any of
[58:52] that, right? Like that's what the law
says.
[58:54] » Don't we have an ordinance against u
abandoned vehicles and they have to be
[58:59] behind a privacy fence?
>> So,
[59:02] that does. Yes. Yes. So, I I think the
biggest thing is everybody's excited,
[59:06] everybody's nervous. A lot of people do
this when they really don't know the
[59:12] facts and we don't know all the facts.
All this stuff is due
[59:17] that's coming in and it's overtaking
everywhere. So all the council is trying
[59:23] to do is put us in position to make all
of y'all successful
[59:29] but do it correctly, right? We don't
want to put
[59:33] 20 RVs in a you know what I mean?
stacking everything on top. Yes, there
[59:38] are multitude of other issues that need
to be addressed by the council. It has
[59:43] been forever. There's abandoned houses.
There's
[59:47] » old tires,
>> old tires.
[59:50] » I mean,
there there's a lot of things that need
[59:54] to be addressed, right? And has been a
continuum that's um maybe got pushed
[59:59] aside, you know, like most saying gets
pushed off to the back burner.
[1:00:05] But what the council is trying to do is
do, we want everybody to be law abiding
[1:00:12] in the construction of stuff. So if the
state does come in here, they're going
[1:00:16] to say, "Hey, let me see your stuff."
Hey, right here. Not a problem. So
[1:00:21] you're not penalized for doing something
wrong. You're following the state law.
[1:00:25] And just because you didn't know about
it, I'm sorry. This thing is ain't
[1:00:28] tough. It was published. You should have
done your research. Your contractor
[1:00:32] should have done your research. There's
no excuse for not knowing. That is truly
[1:00:36] not. You have to be diligent in yourself
in knowing the laws and your contractor
[1:00:42] has to be diligent.
If you were the general contractor,
[1:00:46] you're liable 100% for everything that
was done. If you had someone else as a
[1:00:51] general contractor, they have to do
that. That's why they charge their money
[1:00:55] to research and do what's correct so
that you're according and they all any
[1:01:00] general contractor does have to follow
national code. installation of any
[1:01:05] » I feel if we don't follow follow this
that we're not going to be able to give
[1:01:08] out a bid for that
>> and that's all we're trying to do
[1:01:11] » we don't want anybody we want people to
prosper right I mean this is this is
[1:01:16] about a fiveyear swarm right doors
>> well okay yeah so
[1:01:21] » 7 to 10
>> 7 to 10 so anyway I think it's great but
[1:01:24] and we're not absolutely the council is
here to make everybody prosperous in
[1:01:30] this I mean all the business are
starting up and it's like it's great to
[1:01:34] provide, you know, is to ride and keep
keep it done like spoke to so
[1:01:38] everybody's uh protected and their
investment.
[1:01:43] » Yeah. You want your you want your
investment if I go spend, you know,
[1:01:47] $200,000 on put or whatever it is on
putting an army lock. I want to know
[1:01:52] that it's done correctly so somebody
can't come in there and shut me down and
[1:01:56] say, "Hey, you didn't do this
correctly." And guess what? You're shut
[1:02:01] down. And now then what do I do now? I
got to spend another however much money
[1:02:07] to repair, replenish, down that much
behind. So that's all we're trying to do
[1:02:11] and this is all.
>> Um I know there was a question regarding
[1:02:14] the decibel or noise ordinance and I
looked it up. Um, there is a state
[1:02:19] ordinance and Rex can correct me if I'm
wrong, but it says that um, if there is
[1:02:24] a noise complaint and the police officer
has already gone out, if they go back
[1:02:28] out again and the noise exceeds 85 dB,
there is a state statute for that. And I
[1:02:32] I you'll have to ask for what the exact
number is, but there is a state statute
[1:02:36] for
>> that's not an RV. That is across the
[1:02:40] board noise.
[1:02:52] » All right, we're going to wrap. We're
going to wrap our meeting up. Does
[1:02:55] anybody else have anything to say?
Because
[1:02:58] » can I commend the
>> speaker? Always hold your peace. Yeah,
[1:03:01] » I would like to commend the city and the
city administrator for cleaning up some
[1:03:04] of the blight that was already in town
when you guys took down some of those
[1:03:08] buildings and cleaned them up and then
auctioned them off. You guys did a great
[1:03:11] job in that and that was amazing because
you didn't just sell a dilapidated
[1:03:15] property for somebody else to figure
out. You guys took care of the problem
[1:03:19] and you made it an effective solution
and you were able to cover your cost
[1:03:22] with it. I think you guys should be
commended for that. So, thank you very
[1:03:25] much.
>> You're doing a good job.
[1:03:26] » You guys are doing a good job. This all
this is this RV deal is just
[1:03:31] all of a sudden you tell that we we
already
[1:03:36] look at old fire.
>> Yeah. Well, that guy brought the dump
[1:03:40] over there for his fence.
>> All right, we're going to wrap it up.
[1:03:43] So,
>> hold on. I'm going to have something to
[1:03:44] say.
>> I would just say um yeah, I commend the
[1:03:48] council on the work that you guys have
in front of you. It is going to be a
[1:03:51] very arduous task. Uh you're going to
make a lot of people upset. You're going
[1:03:55] to make a lot of people happy. But I I
would just ask you to you know remember
[1:04:00] that the the job of the council is not
even so much growth in this state of
[1:04:04] population to people go to Alba that it
is technically the 198
[1:04:11] but but growth is prosperity for the
people that are here the investors that
[1:04:15] are here um and you have a really unique
opportunity I have to be very aware of
[1:04:18] what's about to happen uh here not just
south you know children's burn area but
[1:04:24] it's also coming Memphis. Um, so there
is a unique opportunity that Memphis can
[1:04:29] see a resurgence and growth and uh
become a very desirable place in the
[1:04:34] panhandle. But you guys are going to
make some people upset in the process.
[1:04:37] Uh, but but for the greater good of what
you've been elected to do
[1:04:42] power.
>> Well, our main job and mind and council
[1:04:47] is we're going to be fair all the way
across the board. We don't have we're
[1:04:50] not going to nitpick anything. We're
going to that's the way it is. Be here
[1:04:54] and that's I think that's the easiest
way to go. Okay. Somebody want to make a
[1:04:58] motion to adjurnn? Got a motion to
adjurnn.
[1:05:03] » Second by Melissa. All right. All in
favor.
[1:05:07] » Again, thank you very much for coming
out for our call meeting tonight. We
[1:05:10] appreciate it.
>> Yeah. I'm glad everybody showed up.
[1:05:13] Always everybody showed up every time.
Our next count.
