00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:18,380
Good evening folks. Thank you very much. This is the Board Commissioner meeting for the City of Mount Juliette for February 8, 2016. It is 6.31 pm. We do have a quorum present. We have all five elected officials in attendance. At this time, we will set the agenda and I believe it's set as published. Sheila, is that correct?

2
00:06:21,140 --> 00:06:28,020
Okay. If you're interested in following along, they are in the back of the room on both sides, or you can follow along via the internet.

3
00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:35,660
This time, I'd like to introduce you to Associate Pastor Mark Youngman from Providence United Methodist Church.

4
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,340
Pastor, if you'd come and lead us in prayer and pledge, we would appreciate it very much.

5
00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:44,350
Thank you for coming out.

6
00:06:44,430 --> 00:06:45,370
Thanks for having me.

7
00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:46,850
For the fist bump.

8
00:06:47,130 --> 00:06:47,610
Yeah.

9
00:06:47,910 --> 00:06:48,550
I appreciate that.

10
00:06:49,210 --> 00:06:49,870
That's great.

11
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,860
God, we thank you for the day that you have given us.

12
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,320
For all that you have done and all that you will yet do this evening.

13
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:04,380
We give you praise for who you are and who you call us to be.

14
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,000
I'm glad I thank you for this gathering of people tonight.

15
00:07:09,380 --> 00:07:15,340
I'm glad we pray that you'll be present in the hearts and words that are shared and spoken tonight.

16
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,500
I'm glad we thank you for all the ways that you surprise us and this evening as snow is falling down.

17
00:07:20,780 --> 00:07:28,280
For all that means for a city and city workers we take a moment to thank you for your beauty and the way it surprises us.

18
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:34,340
then we have hearts that are always open to wonder at the great things you do.

19
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,680
God, we thank you for the servants in this room, we thank you for the leaders in this

20
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,820
room, and we thank you that they're one in the same that you've called the group of people

21
00:07:42,820 --> 00:07:45,340
to serve our community by leading.

22
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:51,040
God, we pray that your spirit will be present tonight as everyone gathered here, shares their

23
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:57,220
hearts in their minds, and we pray that you would bring unity in this place as we all strive

24
00:07:57,220 --> 00:08:02,880
to see this community continue to thrive and be a place that can serve even as a springboard

25
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,580
for the greater things that you will yet do here and around the world.

26
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,080
And Jesus name, amen.

27
00:08:09,660 --> 00:08:10,460
Thank you.

28
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,500
Thank you.

29
00:08:13,540 --> 00:08:22,480
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which

30
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,320
it stands.

31
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,120
One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

32
00:08:31,130 --> 00:08:40,690
Pastor, we're proud to have you in our community, it's a great church that you lead, and if you tell us, take a few minutes, tell us more about your church, we would really appreciate it.

33
00:08:41,090 --> 00:08:54,230
Absolutely. Providence church is in a big season of transition right now as we're preparing to move into the first permanent building we've been meeting at West Wilson Middle School, and we'll be there for probably a few more weeks.

34
00:08:54,230 --> 00:09:07,430
We're shipping that 815 945 and 1115, we've just recently gone to three services to get ready to move into the new building and we're hoping to be ready to worship by the end of February beginning of March.

35
00:09:08,370 --> 00:09:24,050
And the heart of Providence Church has really been always kind of an outward focused ministry and gathering of people and we expect to continue that to be the heart of the church going forward and it may will continue to worship without walls event as kind of one of those expressions of how

36
00:09:24,050 --> 00:09:28,150
We lower our community and love what God calls us to do and be here.

37
00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:29,270
Yeah, well great.

38
00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:34,950
I did go past it the other day on my bicycle and the building looks absolutely beautiful.

39
00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:35,570
It looks great.

40
00:09:36,030 --> 00:09:38,350
It looks great and I can't wait to welcome you in there.

41
00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:39,150
Yeah, great.

42
00:09:39,310 --> 00:09:40,410
Well, thank you for coming out tonight.

43
00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:41,070
Thanks for having me.

44
00:09:42,270 --> 00:09:42,410
All right.

45
00:09:42,670 --> 00:09:47,510
Our first order of business is approval of the minutes from January 11, 2016.

46
00:09:47,810 --> 00:09:48,730
Is there a motion?

47
00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:50,570
Sir, second.

48
00:09:51,610 --> 00:09:52,150
Any questions?

49
00:09:52,350 --> 00:09:53,170
Comments or changes?

50
00:09:53,170 --> 00:09:59,410
All in favor, signify by saying aye, aye, any opposed and any abstentions?

51
00:10:02,270 --> 00:10:05,850
Those minutes are approved, three, zero, to two.

52
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:06,930
All right.

53
00:10:07,010 --> 00:10:09,110
Next item of business is citizen comments.

54
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:11,990
Anyone wishing to address the board on any topic?

55
00:10:12,330 --> 00:10:15,170
Please come to this podium, state your name and address for the record.

56
00:10:15,170 --> 00:10:15,730
Even

57
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,540
in my name is Steve Cameron, I'm at a 1533 Colonel Lane.

58
00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:30,040
I'd like to take this opportunity one for realizing the correct moment to state my comments.

59
00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:33,540
I thought I'd missed myself earlier, so I thought I'd missed the opportunity.

60
00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:42,680
I have emailed a bunch of you here already on the topic of having chickens within residential area.

61
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:47,520
This is a new movement that's really going across the whole country.

62
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:56,800
The University of New Hampshire has a extension that's going out and showing people how to have sustainable living, how to live more green.

63
00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:04,100
I grew up in the state of Maine, so I'm used to having animals around, so for me this is an unusual topic.

64
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:16,200
If you look throughout the country right now, there are well over 25 cities, Los Angeles, New York City, Baltimore, or Pasadena, that have chickens.

65
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,440
These are not big lot areas, when you think about it, chickens are very small animals.

66
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:25,580
If you have cats or you have dogs, there's a chickens a lot smaller.

67
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,120
140 pound dog creates more waste and 10 chickens do on a weekly basis.

68
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:39,100
There is no reason if you do not have reasonable cleaning and so forth that you could not

69
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:42,120
have chickens in your backyard without disturbing your neighbor at all.

70
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,560
You could have them there and they'd probably never even realize

71
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:45,320
that they're there.

72
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,320
I'm not advocating, have an large huge poultry outfit

73
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,980
in a residential neighborhood.

74
00:11:52,860 --> 00:11:56,300
I'm looking towards what most of the other cities

75
00:11:56,300 --> 00:11:58,720
across the United States are already having,

76
00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:02,620
which is two, three, four chickens in small backyard setting.

77
00:12:03,460 --> 00:12:07,840
One hand requires only about three square feet

78
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,900
of living space.

79
00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:16,960
If you have a small run, a fenced in area for them, it is a little bit larger than a doghouse,

80
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:21,640
but that is the type of area that we're looking at to have those chickens.

81
00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:27,580
One subject, a lot of people have been brought up is noise.

82
00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:31,860
An adult conversation is 60 decibels of noise.

83
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:38,900
You could be two or three feet from chickens and the most noise that usually have about 63

84
00:12:39,780 --> 00:12:40,080
decibels.

85
00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:43,440
Whereas a dog is 89 decibels in noise.

86
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:50,900
So there is an argument to be made that you could have chickens in a local area without

87
00:12:50,900 --> 00:13:00,420
there one being too loud and two without it being sanitary or three with it being a nuisance.

88
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:11,320
Seven out of the top ten areas with a housing market where I'm sorry, I'm mistaken.

89
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,840
The top ten cities in the U.S. seven out of those allow chickens.

90
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,320
It didn't hurt property prices are so poor.

91
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:27,060
So I would like you to consider it as something to consider in the future and maybe possibly

92
00:13:27,060 --> 00:13:29,560
bringing them up as an agenda item to be discussed.

93
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,920
Does anybody have any questions or I know I'm not supposed to expect a conversation

94
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,440
to act from what I'm told?

95
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:39,800
It's okay.

96
00:13:39,940 --> 00:13:41,280
The thank you very much for coming.

97
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:41,600
Thank you.

98
00:13:41,980 --> 00:13:42,040
Thank you.

99
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,600
Anyone else wish to address the board at this time?

100
00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:56,740
Good evening Mayor, commissioners, my name is Eddie Davidson, I'm managed government relations

101
00:13:56,740 --> 00:14:03,280
for Pigmont Natural Gas, my business address is 83-century boulevard in Nashville, however

102
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:09,060
my home address is Timberco, brought here in Mount Juliette, so I'm pleased to be home tonight.

103
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:15,580
I just wanted to say I'm here to offer anything that you guys may need and as you consider

104
00:14:15,580 --> 00:14:22,760
the renewal of our franchise represents a continuation of the business partnership that

105
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:28,240
we're in and into when it comes to providing natural gas service for the citizens of Mount

106
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,720
Juliet and continue to meet the needs as Mount Juliet continues to grow so we look forward

107
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,840
to continuing that longstanding partnership.

108
00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:39,320
I'm available if you have questions during your consideration.

109
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:48,960
Yeah, one question, please the neighbor I mentioned to you before the meeting the neighbor called me and a neighbor to your sub station there in Northwest Routland

110
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:52,100
And you

111
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:59,820
Encourage me to have her reach out to you. Sure. Did you want me to give her your cell phone number or how did you you can you can give her

112
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:27,600
So my office number, or my email number, or email address, I should say. And I should also say for all of the commissioners, as well, I have shared my contact info with the city manager over the years and should you ever run into any sort of constituent issues. I'm here as a resource for you as well. Okay. I'll do that. Thank you very much. Thanks for coming. Anyone else wish to address the board at this time.

113
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:36,460
Okay, seeing none will close citizen comments and we'll go to Commission reports and comments, starting with District 1, Commissioner Rajustis.

114
00:15:36,820 --> 00:15:37,220
Thank you, Mayor.

115
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:45,340
Since we've been a bit, since we've had a meeting, a couple of things that have been going on first of all, the snow.

116
00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:49,780
And we've always, we're always talking about the police officers and what a wonderful job that they did.

117
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:57,180
And we talked about the MSC as, I was very fortunate my daughter had an incident where she had to go by ambulance to Vanderbilt.

118
00:15:57,180 --> 00:16:02,660
recently and it was the night that we had the real snow in the ice on the ground and the

119
00:16:02,660 --> 00:16:07,740
we may need to once the guys came out there and they were as usual as I've been able to work

120
00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:13,620
with them all the last 20 years they were phenomenal and that's the kind of service that we

121
00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:20,660
expect and it kind of got them spoiled by. So we talked about Mount Juyat police department

122
00:16:20,660 --> 00:16:25,680
because they are top notch. We talk about the Mount Juyat fire department because they are top

123
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:32,980
But our county people also deserve a lot of credit and so I'll any opportunity we get we need to

124
00:16:32,980 --> 00:16:36,040
We need to set them on the back. That being said

125
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,380
Some of the unsung heroes out there

126
00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:43,460
Some of the guys that here in the city they jumped on snow plow and

127
00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:51,440
The salt trucks and within two days if one of the record snows the public works department had our roads clear

128
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,020
And we were driving almost normally, as normal as people in the majority of DUDRA.

129
00:16:58,180 --> 00:17:03,020
It was, it was astounding to see what they had accomplished in the leadership, to come

130
00:17:03,020 --> 00:17:07,880
from Jessica and Andy and the folks at Public Works, along with the fire department and

131
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,480
the police department.

132
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,040
It was a genuine team effort.

133
00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:15,640
It also goes to far as the road commission at Wilson County and what they were able to do

134
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,340
that I've not seen them do in the past, they would really get a good job.

135
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:28,980
Seeing it, those prizes, I'll get to jump on over for those of you that would get to go to the father-daughter's dance Saturday night.

136
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,660
You missed it.

137
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:39,160
I was able for the first time in my life to see the Carlton dance in person.

138
00:17:41,380 --> 00:17:43,160
By Commissioner Brian Aves.

139
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,580
heard there's a video. There is a video actually. I wish if I had had time I'd

140
00:17:49,580 --> 00:17:54,160
got it to Travis and we'd have that there tonight. It was something to see. It was

141
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,120
something between Carlton dance and foodfighters. I'm not sure exactly which one it was,

142
00:17:59,220 --> 00:18:04,040
but I didn't want to say this is looking for it. I will email it.

143
00:18:08,780 --> 00:18:12,080
I've got it. This is my

144
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,360
or third, fourth year I believe it is, and carry my daughters to the father daughter dance.

145
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:24,180
This year I got to enjoy it with Andy Barlow and Brian Abston and so many others.

146
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:32,260
Rocky Lee, Rose, Jan, CJ, all those folks that have the Parks and Recreation to take their time

147
00:18:32,260 --> 00:18:36,040
and they put their heart and soul into making that a wonderful weekend.

148
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:56,020
The tickets were sold out probably within days after it was announced to the dates, and it was first class all the way, everybody in there was treated great, and it was those little girls, or those are so dear to our hearts, we're treated like little princesses, and that's exactly what the supposed to happen.

149
00:18:57,060 --> 00:19:01,220
I want to thank Rocky and I'll have him at the Parks and Recreation Department for the good job at today.

150
00:19:02,260 --> 00:19:02,800
Good job.

151
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,620
Thank you, Mayor.

152
00:19:09,540 --> 00:19:12,920
I just want to thank everyone that took the time to speak and address the commission today.

153
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,380
I also wanted to follow up what Commissioner Justice just said.

154
00:19:20,140 --> 00:19:24,520
That was to thank all the staff, the police and fire, the public works,

155
00:19:24,820 --> 00:19:28,040
the public parks as well involved with our winter weather out there.

156
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:33,040
the awesome response that they had and the effort and level of professionalism with

157
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,720
they put forth and the effort they do to keep the city rolling and keep it moving

158
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,320
along smoothly. I really appreciate all you do for us and everything you do to

159
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:50,660
keep us safe out there. Also, this Sunday we had a little fire incident in the city and

160
00:19:50,660 --> 00:19:57,180
I wanted to thank the police department for their response and Weema for being there to help

161
00:19:57,180 --> 00:20:03,260
out as well, and of course the Mount Juliette Fire Department, Chief Lothman, all your guys

162
00:20:03,260 --> 00:20:07,220
and the effort and the volunteers that they did, and the phenomenal job that they did

163
00:20:07,220 --> 00:20:14,440
responding on that, and we appreciate all that effort in protecting property and saving

164
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:20,320
lives as well, and all that goes into that and keeping us safe, just really thank you as

165
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,500
well as the police and everything that you guys do for us.

166
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:53,380
I also wanted to add to, I wanted to thank, and we're several, several my constituents in my district that turned out to one of the board of commission, or I'm excuse me that Board of Education meeting that they had a week or so ago, and, you know, just really, just really nice to see the response and the involvement of the people in the community there for getting out, it was a standing room only packed crowd, and everything that they did to be involved and educate themselves on the process, and it's really,

167
00:20:53,380 --> 00:20:58,660
It's really nice to see people turn out and get involved and involve themselves in that.

168
00:20:58,860 --> 00:20:59,840
And man, that's my comments.

169
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:00,920
All right, thank you.

170
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,640
Going to District 3, Commissioner Archer.

171
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:04,280
All right.

172
00:21:04,580 --> 00:21:08,560
I wanted to talk about something that the board did

173
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,760
What we did a few years ago and then something that actually this body did,

174
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,620
but I couldn't vote on it.

175
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,880
I guess about two or three years ago, we bought the former Joey Church

176
00:21:22,820 --> 00:21:30,780
And we turned that into our current police department, and it's a beautiful building, it's a beautiful police department.

177
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:43,220
And during that process there was because it was a church and they had a bad district that we asked if there was anyone that would need that bad district.

178
00:21:43,220 --> 00:21:52,880
And we asked the community first, Mount Juliet, and it was, you know, we came back and we knew

179
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:59,220
and that was proven that there wasn't anyone that needed the Mount Juliet, so we, we allowed

180
00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:04,740
that to go outside the community. And we could have sold that. We could have, we could have

181
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:08,720
got X amount. I don't know how much bad district sell for today. I've never crossed one and only.

182
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,760
But there was a client out of one of my clients, actually, out of Bonoff, which in the C came,

183
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,640
and they said, you know, we would like to have a bad district.

184
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,920
So to my, to my remembrance, that's the only one that, that came forth.

185
00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:32,280
And, and again, we re-checked, I remember Mr. Bradshaw brought it up about, you know,

186
00:22:32,420 --> 00:22:34,740
did we know for sure that no one in the community, etc.

187
00:22:34,740 --> 00:22:40,360
So I couldn't vote, but this body voted to let that organization have that bad

188
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:45,700
district. So it was on the outside of the police department and they were doing the

189
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:51,420
renovation. So that organization came up here and got that bad district to get to

190
00:22:51,420 --> 00:22:57,240
the camp and it set there for a while and then the board felt that God led them to give

191
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:03,320
that bad district to a church that was being built in East Tennessee, who's not my

192
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:21,200
And so I thought that was so good, well, I was recently at a funeral in East Tennessee and I just decided to call that church, call that pastor and ask if I could drive up there and see what we had given them.

193
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:31,420
You know, just see what really had been happened. We bless the people here, man, do it. But you don't think about when you get, you know, that whole trip was over 500 miles.

194
00:23:31,420 --> 00:23:36,660
You don't think about how that now do it, bless his other areas as well.

195
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:43,840
You know, Commissioner Manis, he supported that, or he introduced the bill to support Israel.

196
00:23:44,220 --> 00:23:47,100
And we all unanimously were most of us voted for that.

197
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:47,840
That was back then.

198
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,400
I know that we would now, and see, I made the comment one time.

199
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:56,180
It was before you were a city manager, Kenny, that, you know, we are blessed.

200
00:23:56,180 --> 00:24:01,340
And we are still blessed because of what we do for others.

201
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,180
And here's an example.

202
00:24:03,580 --> 00:24:07,260
I drove up there and as we can when I top the hill and I saw that church,

203
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:12,300
I can't tell you how it made me feel about this group of men up here.

204
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:14,780
And Brian went here but I know Brian would have voted for it.

205
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,820
He was a unanimous vote to give that bad history away.

206
00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:19,340
Travis, would you show this?

207
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,040
It's a church and I don't know how many people has been baptized in it.

208
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,820
But because of your generosity, I couldn't have anything to do with it.

209
00:24:27,980 --> 00:24:28,620
You're generosity.

210
00:24:28,940 --> 00:24:31,040
That's what was at the old police station.

211
00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:32,980
It's promoting the kingdom.

212
00:24:33,780 --> 00:24:39,420
So I just wanted to thank you guys for doing that.

213
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,680
So in that concludes my question.

214
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,100
One other thing, Y'all were talking about the snow removal.

215
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:47,680
I'm going to tell you something about Kenny Martin.

216
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,280
During that snow, when most of us, some of us when they even get out, you know, I got

217
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,740
out and made some of the best snowcream I've ever made.

218
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:03,540
For those of you who knows anything about snowcream, but it was fantastic, I'm just telling

219
00:25:03,540 --> 00:25:07,760
I'm not bragging about it, but I really am, my snowcream was great this time, that snow was

220
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,000
really good.

221
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,340
I talked to Kenny Martin, you know what he was doing while I was eating snowcream, enjoying

222
00:25:14,340 --> 00:25:22,220
and other city officials, other city departments out as, as they've been talking about and doing a great job,

223
00:25:22,780 --> 00:25:29,740
Kenny was going to shut in people's houses and physically clean in their driveway off.

224
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:38,500
He did that and then the second day robbed Rob Porter and his dad and his son, right?

225
00:25:38,820 --> 00:25:39,800
I don't want to say that.

226
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:46,600
Yeah, they went and done it. It blew my mind, but they're again. That's that's what we're about

227
00:25:47,060 --> 00:25:49,800
So thank you Kenny. Thank you board again for

228
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:52,500
Given that that that mystery way

229
00:25:53,140 --> 00:26:00,240
Thank y'all that also it's my comments good good comments. Okay. Going to district four commissioner Brian. All right. Well

230
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,940
As usual the time it gets here just about everything is said

231
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,000
So did out everything that all you guys said

232
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:20,660
The one thing I would like to say is I appreciate Mark Youngman from Providence, UMC coming out and doing our prayer.

233
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:32,700
So he makes me proud when my home church is doing the prayer at the VOC meeting, so I appreciate Mark and Providence very much.

234
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:36,200
That concludes my next time you want to start.

235
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,840
I think we should do that, so go that one.

236
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,080
All right.

237
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,960
Go into the city manager, Kenny Martin.

238
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:42,800
Thank you, Mayor.

239
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:45,260
And there was a hidden agenda for the snow removal.

240
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,980
For one is, I'm too stir crazy and I couldn't stand it.

241
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,440
But for two is, if you know these shut-ins and all the folks that we helped,

242
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,580
they bring likes of, like, pies and cookies and things like that.

243
00:26:54,740 --> 00:26:57,220
But our city house was a little bit of a agenda.

244
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,360
And the works I guess you'd say.

245
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,280
But we got to meet some really sweet people.

246
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,840
We did a little bit at even yesterday with the little lady we went to help

247
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,340
before I knew that the load just kept getting bigger and bigger, but that's the community

248
00:27:08,340 --> 00:27:11,900
guys I'll live in just like the folks from P. and the folks from P. and the folks from

249
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:13,360
the P. and the folks from P. and the folks from P. and the folks from P. and the folks

250
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:16,280
that are here tonight. They're doing a lot of things behind the scenes that we don't

251
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,600
realize and I'm hoping to have some pretty neat announcements in the future, Mayor and Board

252
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,660
of Commissioners, those at home for some partnerships that we have with these folks and

253
00:27:24,660 --> 00:27:28,080
things that they help do in the community. We'll be doing the community, either through our

254
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,260
BPAT program, or Greenways, Wallways, and Parks programs. I'm pretty excited about that

255
00:27:32,260 --> 00:27:34,420
I hope that will come with some announcements in the future.

256
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,540
But Kudos to all the departments, Parks, Public Works, Police, and Fire, and particular,

257
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,880
an IT from Mr. Travis back there.

258
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:44,140
With that beard, you can really see a smile now.

259
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,520
You can do it on how to even notice it before, but with that beard, you can see it.

260
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,860
But Travis Hepters get all the messages out and it's true, everybody at a phenomenal job, and

261
00:27:52,860 --> 00:27:53,680
it is a family.

262
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,620
Here's how I appreciate everybody so much, and speaking to family, well, not your UT fan

263
00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:00,680
or not, and I know how it folks feel in our mayor.

264
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,640
And for those of you that are duty fans,

265
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:05,060
if you're not, it's still pretty cool to have coach

266
00:28:05,060 --> 00:28:06,520
former in town.

267
00:28:06,860 --> 00:28:08,580
All the enough, I guess it would have been a week or so

268
00:28:08,580 --> 00:28:10,420
before Peyton came, you know, with,

269
00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:11,340
when the Super Bowl yesterday.

270
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,980
And if you missed that event, hopefully it'll be in the future

271
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:17,820
that we're working on that could actually be Peyton

272
00:28:17,820 --> 00:28:18,980
and come to town.

273
00:28:19,260 --> 00:28:20,860
And at that point, hopefully it'll be retired

274
00:28:20,860 --> 00:28:21,940
and it'll be neat to get seen.

275
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,300
But I'd like to say that Mount Duelett and coach

276
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:26,080
former Kimber was a little bit of a good look,

277
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,700
charm, because I don't think that Denver

278
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:28,820
was favorite in that game.

279
00:28:28,940 --> 00:28:29,540
Where are they?

280
00:28:29,540 --> 00:28:30,860
And they went by two touchdowns.

281
00:28:32,340 --> 00:28:34,500
So for those Tennessee fans out there

282
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:36,340
if you're a Peyton fan, congratulations

283
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,040
and there's nice having coach form here in town.

284
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,020
I'd like to thank the commission for helping make that possible.

285
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,860
And also civil site design and also resolve financials

286
00:28:46,860 --> 00:28:48,300
for stepping up and sponsoring that.

287
00:28:48,380 --> 00:28:49,740
We really do appreciate that.

288
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,880
And speaking of family, there's young men

289
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:53,920
that we'd like to recognize.

290
00:28:54,140 --> 00:28:56,080
And before I do that, I'd like to call Chief Hamburg.

291
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,100
And then of course I'm going to make sure I get this right.

292
00:28:58,300 --> 00:29:03,600
It must Natalie Hughes from a sin credit union to recognize one of our beloved employees.

293
00:29:04,620 --> 00:29:14,040
And a lot of times you know you want to what what it takes to run an organization like a city like this and we'd like to think our city is better than any on the planet and our goal is to make it better than it was yesterday.

294
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:21,180
But we have a young man here that I've had the privilege of watching literally grow up here and he hates this, but I've always said he had this boyish charm about him.

295
00:29:21,580 --> 00:29:25,100
I don't know if it's the dimples or what it is and it's amazing to sit back there and watch them.

296
00:29:25,220 --> 00:29:26,780
You still got the dimples, by the way.

297
00:29:27,180 --> 00:29:28,680
It's got this beautiful family now.

298
00:29:28,860 --> 00:29:29,540
It's hard to believe.

299
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,180
I've either been here a long time or I'm getting old.

300
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,560
But I'd like to bring up an employee and it's family as well.

301
00:29:36,820 --> 00:29:37,420
I'd like for them to share.

302
00:29:37,620 --> 00:29:39,880
Because I know the sacrifices may be on just here.

303
00:29:39,940 --> 00:29:41,120
I mean, I'll let him make that decision.

304
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,640
But I'd like to bring up Sergeant Jason Brottman with the manager of police department to be recognized

305
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,480
as our employee of the month and then I'll let Chief and Miss Natalie speak from there.

306
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,720
because Ms. Natalie Hughes was a sin-feather-creating unit

307
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,900
and is the proud sponsor of our Employee's Month Program.

308
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:10,740
Mayor Board of Commission, a city staff, and certainly to all of the citizens, not Julie, we're proud of Sergeant

309
00:30:10,740 --> 00:30:24,700
Brockman, it's been set for the employee of the month for January. Just wanted to go over one thing. He's doing a great job as he's taken over the leadership of our CSU, crime suppression union.

310
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:31,760
And I want to make this one thing back in December, along with the 17th drug test for

311
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:40,760
us, Lebanon, PD, the TBI, and working conjunction with them, I had a convicted felon

312
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:46,540
and doing the surveillance of drugs of aliens, Sergeant Brockman, and other members of that

313
00:30:46,540 --> 00:30:51,000
team, and the four mentioned agency, we're working together.

314
00:30:51,000 --> 00:31:02,260
In the middle on the story, sure, during the investigation that they did, they saw a non-fell and put weapons into a vehicle.

315
00:31:03,140 --> 00:31:14,100
During that time, they began to investigate, they recovered approximately 85 pounds of marijuana, 52 weapons that was rifles and handgunned.

316
00:31:14,100 --> 00:31:20,320
three large gun saves, large amount of ammunition, and the magazines to those handguns and rifles,

317
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:26,420
and other items that were used to process and package and redistribute marijuana.

318
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:34,720
And doing this investigation also, they were able to seize over $400,000 in U.S. currency,

319
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:40,940
doing this operation. It started to rock and is doing a phenomenal job in leading the CSU team,

320
00:31:40,940 --> 00:31:43,540
and we crowd them here at the bottom of the TV,

321
00:31:44,020 --> 00:31:44,960
we're going to take you back to that.

322
00:31:50,180 --> 00:31:53,540
And Jason, on behalf of a sin federal credit union,

323
00:31:53,940 --> 00:31:58,720
we give you this $25 visa gift card to you

324
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,060
and say congratulations on being selected as employee of the month.

325
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,480
I don't think I would say is that thanks to my wife,

326
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:30,460
And what I do, there's the phone always rings, the officers are calling, this was, I think

327
00:32:30,460 --> 00:32:34,000
we started this at 8 o'clock at night, starting at home, almost 6 o'clock, things more.

328
00:32:36,380 --> 00:32:41,200
But between officers, the informants and everything else, that I'm always, I'm always on the phone,

329
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,040
I'm always doing something, and she's the one who takes the brown of all of it,

330
00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:47,560
and I mean, you all know that you can stitch when it's calling, he has up in there before too,

331
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,820
it. It just takes it to all when I just want to publicly

332
00:32:50,820 --> 00:32:54,180
ventilate my little board. So thank you.

333
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,420
Mayor, it's good to have one more comment and that's how to

334
00:33:02,420 --> 00:33:06,360
respect for Mr. Cameron, who came tonight in regards to the change in

335
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,520
the ordinance regarding chickens. I'll take full blame for that one.

336
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:12,660
Mr. Cameron, you and I have our opportunity to meet, but back in my

337
00:33:12,660 --> 00:33:15,340
police chief days, we used to have plenty of subdivisions when the city

338
00:33:15,340 --> 00:33:19,040
was less dense. The allow for chickens and things that nature and

339
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,260
subdivisions, but it became, you know, as we got dentured became tougher to do.

340
00:33:22,260 --> 00:33:24,480
I wanted to explain to Mr. Cameron, I appreciate him,

341
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,660
to come out. He's been nothing but a complete professional

342
00:33:26,660 --> 00:33:29,340
in gentleman, and with our correspondence back and forth,

343
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,160
and he and I will continue to correspond.

344
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,780
I know he's coming from with a tiny house, you know,

345
00:33:34,860 --> 00:33:36,860
there's a lot of things that are changing and evolving.

346
00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:39,760
So he and I will continue to communicate and bring forth

347
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,820
any ideas we may have going forward in the future.

348
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:43,400
But I'd like to thank him for coming out.

349
00:33:43,780 --> 00:33:46,280
And then when I think I was terrible that we were terrible,

350
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,580
this is something that's pretty common.

351
00:33:49,020 --> 00:33:50,840
And thank you for so much for coming out.

352
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,260
and he and I will continue to conversate from there, Mayor, and other than that, that concludes my report.

353
00:33:55,940 --> 00:33:57,080
Okay, thank you very much.

354
00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:59,320
We're going to go into the business portion of our agenda.

355
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:02,360
All the microphones are on at the table.

356
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,740
And we will start with item...

357
00:34:05,740 --> 00:34:08,880
Well, actually, 9-1 and 9-2 are poll aren't they?

358
00:34:14,290 --> 00:34:15,890
We need to take action.

359
00:34:16,350 --> 00:34:17,950
Or do we need to just... do they just roll?

360
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:19,610
We need to take action.

361
00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:23,690
And every time I will just put it wrong,

362
00:34:24,890 --> 00:34:26,450
I think we can do the high-end.

363
00:34:29,510 --> 00:34:30,090
I think that's what I want to say.

364
00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:32,530
The F can reset me and ask if it could

365
00:34:32,530 --> 00:34:36,410
especially for two more meetings, which would be a total of four weeks out.

366
00:34:36,590 --> 00:34:37,910
They'd like to bring it back up to this.

367
00:34:38,030 --> 00:34:42,230
And if they do, they don't let us find, but two meetings out four weeks.

368
00:34:42,730 --> 00:34:44,110
So we did need to defer it.

369
00:34:45,170 --> 00:34:45,250
Okay?

370
00:34:45,650 --> 00:34:47,370
All right. Well, we'll have to go through it, I guess.

371
00:34:48,010 --> 00:34:50,010
Can we do a simultaneous flight, anybody object?

372
00:34:50,570 --> 00:34:51,510
No, I don't get it.

Steve.

428
00:38:25,250 --> 00:38:26,150
You're more appropriate.

00:38:26,330 --> 00:38:27,090
You're in the fire chief.

00:38:27,310 --> 00:38:28,750
As a fire chief, step out.

431
00:38:29,670 --> 00:38:31,630
The one is low, and I believe the other is Walmart.

432
00:38:32,170 --> 00:38:33,050
That was in Walmart.

433
00:38:33,830 --> 00:38:34,790
Chief is not in his head.

434
00:38:35,490 --> 00:38:36,790
And that inadvertently, that target out.

435
00:38:36,810 --> 00:38:37,970
Target low is in Walmart.

436
00:38:38,370 --> 00:38:40,130
And they have been for a long, long time.

437
00:38:40,270 --> 00:38:40,990
We continue to be.

438
00:38:41,050 --> 00:38:42,950
And of course, there's going to be more folks coming on board

439
00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:44,410
as the city continues to grow.

440
00:38:45,150 --> 00:38:49,270
Chiefs nodding his head, so we thank you, Lowe's, Walmart and Tart.

441
00:38:49,530 --> 00:38:49,790
Yes, sir.

442

Thank you very much.

00:38:50,830 --> 00:38:53,450
All in favor of this one, signify by saying aye.

444
00:38:53,490 --> 00:38:53,770
Aye.

445
00:38:54,210 --> 00:38:54,910
Any opposed?

446
00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:56,690
That passes unanimously.

447
00:38:57,790 --> 00:38:58,930
Next item is new business.

448
00:38:59,390 --> 00:39:04,170
111, an ordinance of the city of Mount Juliet to amend the Mount Juliet city code chapter four,

449
00:39:04,650 --> 00:39:12,750
alcoholic beverages by adding section 4-5, retail, food, store, wine, certificate.

450
00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:12,830
Okay.

451
00:39:13,730 --> 00:39:14,390
Sir, motion.

452
00:39:15,530 --> 00:39:15,770
Motion.

453
00:39:16,130 --> 00:39:16,690
Sir, second.

454
00:39:17,250 --> 00:39:17,610
Second.

455
00:39:19,390 --> 00:39:20,450
What are we doing here, genome?

456
00:39:20,770 --> 00:39:21,070
Where are Kenny?

457
00:39:21,230 --> 00:39:22,950
Who's going to take this?

458
00:39:23,410 --> 00:39:23,810
You know?

459
00:39:24,130 --> 00:39:29,550
This is the ordinance to allow wine cells in stores.

460
00:39:30,310 --> 00:39:30,450
Okay.

461
00:39:30,470 --> 00:39:32,230
This came to us from the state.

462
00:39:33,470 --> 00:39:36,010
We drafted this based on the state ordinance.

463
00:39:36,150 --> 00:39:38,890
We really don't have a lot of control over this.

464
00:39:38,890 --> 00:39:43,510
It all goes through the alcoholic beverage commission at the state.

465
00:39:43,930 --> 00:39:45,650
They give them all the approvals for here.

466
00:39:45,810 --> 00:39:47,390
They just have to comply with our zoning.

467
00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:53,910
So this is changing our alcoholic beverages to allow for the zoning treated same way as you

468
00:39:53,910 --> 00:39:59,330
with the sale of beer, not for consumption, but for purchase and leaving.

469
00:39:59,570 --> 00:40:06,830
So it's a hundred foot space between churches, et cetera, and so forth, as it is with the

470
00:40:07,470 --> 00:40:11,830
not for consumption just for clothes containers for sale.

471
00:40:12,430 --> 00:40:15,130
I think there to take this start, I believe, to do live first.

472
00:40:15,390 --> 00:40:16,110
I get it.

473
00:40:16,110 --> 00:40:16,870
If I remember correctly.

474
00:40:16,930 --> 00:40:18,730
July 6th first this year.

475
00:40:19,510 --> 00:40:19,750
Think.

476
00:40:21,170 --> 00:40:21,490
Hang on.

477
00:40:22,270 --> 00:40:27,170
If we do nothing on this, that means it's just open across the board.

478
00:40:27,450 --> 00:40:28,430
Continue to state laws.

479
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:31,930
Commission justice.

480
00:40:32,610 --> 00:40:33,790
It's kind of what I was going to ask.

481
00:40:33,990 --> 00:40:36,810
I mean, it's just already a state law as a reason why we should put it.

482
00:40:36,810 --> 00:40:43,170
Yeah, they still have to come in and make application to us, make sure they're a good

483
00:40:43,170 --> 00:40:48,150
more character, et cetera, which is part of the TABC. Plus, we can limit it with our zoning

484
00:40:48,610 --> 00:40:50,730
to put some strictures on it.

485
00:40:51,210 --> 00:40:54,770
For example, exercise stores, so you didn't have to want to refer to them, and I guess they're

486
00:40:54,770 --> 00:40:59,350
a grocery store, and have limited amount of groceries, but yet, we want to set a line.

487
00:40:59,530 --> 00:41:02,250
It really turns more into a line store than a grocery store.

488
00:41:02,250 --> 00:41:04,330
You know, some of those stores are, you know,

489
00:41:05,570 --> 00:41:07,150
small or mom-in-law type, first of all.

490
00:41:07,230 --> 00:41:09,270
Are restrictions like that in the end?

491
00:41:09,610 --> 00:41:09,890
Right.

492
00:41:10,110 --> 00:41:15,910
And also make sure that they go through the TABC to furnish those proof

493
00:41:15,910 --> 00:41:18,590
that they're operating, whether they put the burden on us,

494
00:41:19,590 --> 00:41:20,710
to see them sell them something,

495
00:41:20,710 --> 00:41:23,070
then they go have to do the application itself.

496
00:41:24,350 --> 00:41:26,030
I don't know about the others.

497
00:41:26,950 --> 00:41:31,030
I'm a little, I mean, it's not very clear

498
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:36,450
on the new laws that's coming out, is that I mean, for Crowvers probably, it's a

499
00:41:36,450 --> 00:41:40,130
place like that, is where it's at the ones in the allow.

500
00:41:40,710 --> 00:41:43,770
But I'm here in the back of the story, it's not in the allow, it's correct.

501
00:41:45,390 --> 00:41:47,690
What delineates the two?

502
00:41:47,830 --> 00:41:49,570
I mean, what keeps it from the end?

503
00:41:50,350 --> 00:41:51,250
It is now here.

504
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:55,610
It's following TCA Kitches 7-3-8-6.

505
00:41:55,970 --> 00:42:00,010
They've got to go get the permission from the state before they can come to us to make the application.

506
00:42:00,010 --> 00:42:04,890
So they got us out of the state statute and get us a tip get before they come to us.

507
00:42:04,990 --> 00:42:12,250
Do we know what the state statute is and relates to a grocery store as opposed to, like, the back of Mayor's back of school?

508
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:24,330
Yeah, say to find a store is the engage in the sale of food, retail, and I don't have it with me, I can pull it up before we get out of here though.

509
00:42:24,330 --> 00:42:30,490
But basically, though, it's enough of the definition, and though that it's going to be a large grocery

510
00:42:30,490 --> 00:42:32,990
Proverbs of publics, et cetera, et cetera.

511
00:42:33,130 --> 00:42:34,850
All these, maybe, exactly.

512
00:42:36,050 --> 00:42:36,830
Math co.

513
00:42:37,570 --> 00:42:38,650
No, we're not co.

514
00:42:39,210 --> 00:42:42,910
No, not co, no, no, that's why there's a clear footage of the clear footage.

515
00:42:43,330 --> 00:42:45,810
Requirements, it has to be a, it's a big store.

516
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:51,930
It's not a hurry back, uh, right, and that was a convenient, you know, I didn't

517
00:42:51,930 --> 00:42:54,210
like they wanted to make convenience stores, they don't.

518
00:42:56,590 --> 00:43:01,770
It is first reading, so I guess if we need to check it out better, we get in on the second reading.

519
00:43:02,970 --> 00:43:09,510
This as long as it's a specific square footage, it's going to be significant difference.

520
00:43:09,710 --> 00:43:10,910
Like I'm going to map hell in a crowbar.

521
00:43:11,770 --> 00:43:15,330
Yeah, because a smaller star star is usually about 26,000 square feet.

522
00:43:15,730 --> 00:43:16,550
That's what I feel.

523
00:43:16,610 --> 00:43:21,350
Spill croaks are, I guess, can we have the stores put a skull?

524
00:43:21,350 --> 00:43:23,570
I don't think we would need anything else.

525
00:43:23,730 --> 00:43:24,030
That's it.

526
00:43:24,350 --> 00:43:26,010
But it was about 26,000 square feet.

527
00:43:26,170 --> 00:43:26,910
That was at the time.

528
00:43:27,010 --> 00:43:27,430
Our largest.

529
00:43:28,410 --> 00:43:31,030
So you see how much bigger they are now than that.

530
00:43:31,410 --> 00:43:31,510
Okay.

531
00:43:33,630 --> 00:43:34,390
He's broken.

532
00:43:34,650 --> 00:43:35,430
Any other questions?

533
00:43:36,490 --> 00:43:37,210
All in favor?

534
00:43:37,410 --> 00:43:38,710
Signify by saying aye.

535
00:43:39,110 --> 00:43:39,330
Aye.

536
00:43:39,550 --> 00:43:40,230
Any opposed?

537
00:43:40,650 --> 00:43:41,770
That passes unanimously.

538
00:43:42,510 --> 00:43:43,370
Next item is 11.

539
00:43:43,470 --> 00:43:43,790
Two.

540
00:43:43,810 --> 00:43:45,390
An ordinance of the city of Mount Juliette.

541
00:43:45,610 --> 00:43:48,490
To amend the Mount Juliette City Codes article four.

542
00:43:48,490 --> 00:43:58,410
alarm systems, chapter 12 section 12-48 registration fee to amend to allow staggered terms for renewals.

543
00:43:58,630 --> 00:43:59,890
Is there a motion?

544
00:44:00,910 --> 00:44:01,110
Motion?

545
00:44:01,510 --> 00:44:02,170
Okay, I'll second.

546
00:44:02,670 --> 00:44:04,030
Questions or comments?

547
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:05,650
Commissioner Giles.

548
00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:07,410
It may be in here.

549
00:44:07,730 --> 00:44:11,590
What my concern was or I guess I just a question about it.

550
00:44:12,250 --> 00:44:16,770
Let's say whatever where everything falls into this aid of ALF or whatever it is.

551
00:44:18,250 --> 00:44:25,930
If someone just applies for a permit say today or the end of this month, and then their

552
00:44:27,050 --> 00:44:31,550
goes into that letter, I mean is there a pro-wation to some of this or is there a need to?

553
00:44:31,590 --> 00:44:33,170
Am I just misunderstanding this?

554
00:44:33,570 --> 00:44:36,230
It's not that I'm against it, I just want to, does that make sense?

555
00:44:36,430 --> 00:44:40,250
I mean, it's like I'll lose a little bit because of the pro-wation somewhere in there.

556
00:44:40,250 --> 00:44:49,510
They have been corroborated because it's $10, I believe, a year and it's been automatic renewal at one time.

557
00:44:50,370 --> 00:44:51,090
But do you see what I'm saying?

558
00:44:51,230 --> 00:44:52,070
It's like some of my past $10.

559
00:44:52,290 --> 00:44:53,270
Let me it's not very much.

560
00:44:53,410 --> 00:44:55,430
But I guess you're a long and faded worry and then a more safe.

561
00:44:55,890 --> 00:44:56,170
Yeah.

562
00:44:56,470 --> 00:44:57,750
I mean, that's not quite fair.

563
00:45:00,750 --> 00:45:02,830
Is there anything in there, it's a dress?

564
00:45:04,970 --> 00:45:06,010
Who's sponsorship?

565
00:45:07,290 --> 00:45:09,650
This came from the police department of China.

566
00:45:10,710 --> 00:45:12,730
Do you understand the question?

567
00:45:13,370 --> 00:45:15,230
Okay, what are we going to do about that?

568
00:45:15,590 --> 00:45:16,750
No, no, no, no.

569
00:45:17,290 --> 00:45:17,850
No, no, no, no.

570
00:45:17,850 --> 00:45:20,570
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

571
00:45:21,970 --> 00:45:23,190
Let's do this.

572
00:45:23,190 --> 00:45:24,910
Just come over, we're pro-rated feet.

573
00:45:25,050 --> 00:45:27,470
We come over some type of feet to where

574
00:45:27,470 --> 00:45:32,950
If they're paying on this month, then you're added to play for instance, if it's a

575
00:45:32,950 --> 00:45:35,790
pandemic, it would equal out to $12.

576
00:45:36,570 --> 00:45:39,570
And they would be due to the fall of panic on the public side.

577
00:45:40,210 --> 00:45:42,570
If you're doing this to save staff time, I say.

578
00:45:42,570 --> 00:45:45,050
But it's obvious as the city is growing.

579
00:45:45,710 --> 00:45:50,270
And more and more people are getting their lump in it.

580
00:45:51,230 --> 00:45:55,610
It's for the burning on the staff when it all comes in one time.

581
00:45:55,610 --> 00:45:59,670
because a lot of putting it out and getting those out,

582
00:46:00,590 --> 00:46:03,590
and there are normal days where it's put aside.

583
00:46:04,090 --> 00:46:07,190
So what we're trying to do is make it more efficient to have

584
00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:10,350
to wear a spread out, they can continue there

585
00:46:10,350 --> 00:46:12,790
at that normal work duties as well,

586
00:46:12,930 --> 00:46:16,350
and that'd be so far down in the process of the long run.

587
00:46:16,390 --> 00:46:20,670
I like to go, but that hypothetical that Commissioner

588
00:46:20,670 --> 00:46:27,510
mentioned is pretty severe. Come in and pay on February and then you're because of the

589
00:46:27,510 --> 00:46:31,630
letter of your last name you pay again on March, you know, that could be...

590
00:46:31,630 --> 00:46:37,330
I wouldn't, I wouldn't like that either, but if I'm saying it, it's $10 and then you're talking

591
00:46:37,330 --> 00:46:42,550
about four different times. So you're talking about 250 as long and I would just say, you know,

592
00:46:42,630 --> 00:46:47,910
1250 and then you're not doing until the next, you know, the next time when you're,

593
00:46:47,910 --> 00:46:52,990
they said something y'all can handle in-house or we got a fix that right here.

594
00:46:55,250 --> 00:46:58,390
We would need the word pro ready to go somewhere.

595
00:46:58,810 --> 00:47:07,030
I think what Chief is saying, if you come in February, you would just pay for the rest of that period.

596
00:47:07,210 --> 00:47:14,150
The rest of that period plus the next year or so, like if you pay today, you wouldn't pay again until March of 2017.

597
00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:22,330
We know the right, we know that on your 13 months as to what, or still one in that scenario.

598
00:47:23,530 --> 00:47:25,870
In the middle of it, what is it six months?

599
00:47:26,330 --> 00:47:27,210
I guess.

600
00:47:28,490 --> 00:47:28,790
I guess.

601
00:47:30,590 --> 00:47:32,050
I'm sorry, right.

602
00:47:32,050 --> 00:47:32,850
That's another year.

603
00:47:33,170 --> 00:47:35,910
But then, which that's good to get a bit from, actually.

604
00:47:37,230 --> 00:47:38,910
What is this paper?

605
00:47:49,390 --> 00:47:56,970
I guess my question is why does it, why does an alarm need to be registered with a police department?

606
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:04,640
That has to be registered with an alarm company.

607
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:14,340
it doesn't monitor anything directly, isn't there a fee for it, we call, but we are responding

608
00:48:14,340 --> 00:48:14,800
to those things.

609
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:20,640
You are responding to the call, but that's not worth it, I'm wondering what the...

610
00:48:21,660 --> 00:48:24,620
I don't know, they came in my house one time and I was glad they did.

611
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,120
Well, yeah, I mean, I don't know what that, I mean, you know, I think it was not far along.

612
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:36,520
go off to, you know, of course I pay a monthly bill, or to 80, or whatever, monotronics or

613
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:41,480
whatever it may be. You pay a monthly bill, and then they monitor it again, and as it goes

614
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:45,660
off, they call, not one one or they call it, please pardon whoever it is, then it please respond.

615
00:48:46,380 --> 00:48:53,100
So I guess my question is, why are we paying a fee? What is it for? What is it painful?

616
00:48:53,100 --> 00:49:01,400
This is why it was explained to me was you had the problem with people going out of town for a week of vacation and the alarm goes off

617
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,000
And I think you asked for additional contact information

618
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,500
So they have somebody in town the contact the turning alarm off instead of the neighbors next door

619
00:49:10,500 --> 00:49:13,600
And have it at a listen to it. They guess they shoot the horn out or something

620
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,360
Now they long the long will receive themselves in a certain period

621
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:22,680
But it was that they thought about what was explained as the original purpose was to get an extra contact

622
00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:26,120
And so we're going to make him pay $20 a year to get a contract?

623
00:49:26,580 --> 00:49:27,200
$10 a year.

624
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:28,100
I want $10 a year.

625
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,640
And it's $25 if it's commercial.

626
00:49:29,940 --> 00:49:33,640
This isn't something that just the city of Mount Julia is doing.

627
00:49:33,700 --> 00:49:38,720
This is something that every city across the United States does, really.

628
00:49:39,180 --> 00:49:41,940
That doesn't justify to me to pay.

629
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:45,220
Nobody told me yet what we're paying for while we're getting.

630
00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:50,140
I can tell you, when two guys came to my door and I was glad they did.

631
00:49:50,140 --> 00:49:54,300
the $10.00 it was a false in the $10.00

632
00:49:54,300 --> 00:50:01,160
I didn't begin to cover two guys dropping to my house and not all right absolutely not but I mean my point is

633
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:09,460
and things between me and you just in your career and in my career how many alarm calls do you

634
00:50:09,460 --> 00:50:18,960
like the two of us have answered you think you go up into the thousands probably yeah I mean you know I've been to those

635
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:27,620
And it's in the out of the deal, I mean, you know, when you're on duty, you go to a call, sometimes most of the time it's a call, but that's not a time.

636
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,280
There's also a penalty.

637
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:30,660
Bro, believe that.

638
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:31,520
I number a call.

639
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:40,700
After two false calls, maybe you don't have it registered, you don't know who to send it to, to penalize it.

640
00:50:42,220 --> 00:50:48,700
So we're making people pay the $10 a year so that we can penalize them later on.

641
00:50:49,100 --> 00:50:55,300
I just see this. I was glad to pay it. I'd rather pay the tan than pay it.

642
00:50:55,580 --> 00:50:59,960
Well, I've got the payment for you. I promise you. And I know the amount of your

643
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:03,900
employees department, whether you pay that $10 or not, they still would have come to your

644
00:51:03,900 --> 00:51:08,820
house. Yeah? I'm sure. I promise you that. And if they had them, Wilson can't

645
00:51:08,820 --> 00:51:12,480
come to your house. My face is bad enough, Lebanon would have come to your house. I'm very

646
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:17,400
I just don't the $10, it may seem to help.

647
00:51:17,620 --> 00:51:19,640
It just never makes sense to me to feel done.

648
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,280
So, speed has been around for a while.

649
00:51:23,740 --> 00:51:26,580
Not sure of how it gets, you know, when you get started.

650
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:28,240
That's what it is.

651
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,360
And nobody knows what it's for.

652
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:31,740
Before our time.

653
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:32,140
Yeah.

654
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:33,260
It's good to question.

655
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,300
I mean, I just like to know what it's for.

656
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,500
Can we find out what it actually goes for?

657
00:51:39,740 --> 00:51:41,720
Is it, if somebody has researched before the next meeting?

658
00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:46,460
We had a big, we had a big discussion on this right at the court.

659
00:51:46,860 --> 00:51:48,700
No, actually I was here when it was you.

660
00:51:49,220 --> 00:51:49,860
Yeah, I was.

661
00:51:49,980 --> 00:51:51,540
None of that changed, does it change?

662
00:51:51,620 --> 00:51:52,180
No, no, no.

663
00:51:52,700 --> 00:51:54,420
This is just this part of this.

664
00:51:55,500 --> 00:51:57,920
This is changed from one that we worked so long.

665
00:51:58,180 --> 00:51:59,280
No, remember that?

666
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:00,520
But that was wrong.

667
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:01,460
The whole thing was doing.

668
00:52:01,460 --> 00:52:02,180
That was wrong.

669
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:03,680
And people come in.

670
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,240
People moving in, getting along.

671
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:09,320
It's just, you know, is the workload of, you know,

672
00:52:10,020 --> 00:52:11,700
you know, increase from it.

673
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:16,280
I bet the 10 bucks that need to cover the clerk to process it.

674
00:52:16,460 --> 00:52:18,080
Well, I'll bet.

675
00:52:18,380 --> 00:52:18,440
Hmm.

676
00:52:19,340 --> 00:52:21,060
Paying the neck to write the check.

677
00:52:21,340 --> 00:52:24,380
Tell you the truth for 10 dollar, rather, be more.

678
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,480
Well, when it comes time, you're more than

679
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:29,840
putting money back on the phone.

680
00:52:31,860 --> 00:52:33,640
I didn't have another question for you.

681
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:39,060
But based on this ordinance, it says shall be $120 per month for a direct monitoring

682
00:52:39,060 --> 00:52:40,360
by the city.

683
00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:42,960
Does the city do any direct monitoring?

684
00:52:46,460 --> 00:52:53,020
To my, you know, years ago we used to live in the people who had their alarms to where

685
00:52:53,020 --> 00:52:57,820
we were directly within dispatch and board within dispatch, and white would go off and

686
00:52:57,820 --> 00:52:58,040
off.

687
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:05,000
It was a little green from, yeah, I remember that, yeah, was that not back in the 60s or something, but I don't know.

688
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,000
The business might make sure to, which I'm going to do.

689
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:10,040
I'm going to do that.

690
00:53:10,460 --> 00:53:12,820
The business might make sure to, which I'm going to do.

691
00:53:12,820 --> 00:53:13,940
I'm going to do that.

692
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:14,620
I'm going to do that.

693
00:53:18,980 --> 00:53:19,480
Y'all go ahead.

694
00:53:19,620 --> 00:53:19,900
I'm sorry.

695
00:53:20,540 --> 00:53:20,620
All right.

696
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:21,920
Other questions or comments?

697
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:23,880
May I back and get you some clarification?

698
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:25,120
I'm about to board this time.

699
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:25,840
Backing this and forth.

700
00:53:26,060 --> 00:53:27,440
How can you make that in that position?

701
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:29,060
It's first reading.

702
00:53:29,780 --> 00:53:33,080
Okay, all in favor, signify by saying aye.

703
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:33,400
Aye.

704
00:53:33,700 --> 00:53:34,280
Any opposed?

705
00:53:34,820 --> 00:53:35,800
That passes unanimously.

706
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,380
Next item is 113.

707
00:53:41,550 --> 00:53:45,730
An ordinance granting franchise to Peatmont Natural Gas Company incorporated.

708
00:53:47,390 --> 00:53:48,030
Is there a motion?

709
00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:50,070
Sir, second.

710
00:53:52,630 --> 00:53:53,090
I'll second.

711
00:53:54,250 --> 00:53:55,130
Questions or comments?

712
00:53:58,940 --> 00:53:59,700
Almost a great pass.

713
00:54:01,060 --> 00:54:01,960
I don't know, John came up.

714
00:54:02,140 --> 00:54:03,000
I guess he's got something to say.

715
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:09,640
I'll say it's a renewal of a one that we put in 2006, which was a renewal of a one of

716
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:15,620
a thousand or a fact in 1997, I think. There's no real modification to it, other than

717
00:54:15,620 --> 00:54:21,360
they did ask that we extended rather than 10 years to go out 20, and they have offered us

718
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:27,220
an exit clause at the end of 10. So we don't go through this again unless we want to.

719
00:54:28,590 --> 00:54:34,670
And so much of refreshment, everyone. What is ramifications of not doing this?

720
00:54:37,870 --> 00:54:40,330
You're not going to be a gas, so you're not going to be a gas.

721
00:54:40,650 --> 00:54:41,630
So they can whip and buy a gas.

722
00:54:42,850 --> 00:54:44,710
I'm just curious.

723
00:54:47,820 --> 00:54:53,960
You don't want to pay that to happen, but you have to not give up 5% of the gross sales in the revenue part.

724
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,100
Here he is.

725
00:54:55,620 --> 00:54:57,420
I'd like to keep your heat on though, wouldn't you?

726
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:58,480
Yes, yes.

727
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:08,500
Commissioners, the Tennessee code requires that natural gas companies that are in

728
00:55:08,500 --> 00:55:13,120
best-round natural gas utilities are required to have a franchise in order to provide

729
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:14,600
service to cities.

730
00:55:15,860 --> 00:55:18,680
So it's a requirement of state law.

731
00:55:19,900 --> 00:55:25,780
And again, I'm just curious, but if another company came in here, they wanted to provide

732
00:55:25,780 --> 00:55:29,020
Yes, service to the city. Would that prevent that from happening?

733
00:55:31,770 --> 00:55:41,270
Under the franchise, as we have put that we have been engaged in,

734
00:55:41,450 --> 00:55:43,890
to provide for an exclusive franchise.

735
00:55:46,370 --> 00:55:51,550
The practical fact, even absent a exclusive franchise,

736
00:55:52,070 --> 00:55:55,950
because of the capital intensive nature of the natural gas business.

737
00:55:57,110 --> 00:56:04,710
It's extraordinarily unlikely that another gas companies would come in and want to overlay

738
00:56:05,650 --> 00:56:10,790
into an existing system on the hopes of gaining customers.

739
00:56:11,270 --> 00:56:15,670
Just because, you know, unlike a telecom franchise or something like that.

740
00:56:15,670 --> 00:56:27,270
like TDS did the call for laying out that capital as you guys know, we have a lot of

741
00:56:27,270 --> 00:56:29,090
allow so many.

742
00:56:29,530 --> 00:56:31,690
It's our cash cropping list again.

743
00:56:32,370 --> 00:56:33,230
There's been.

744
00:56:33,610 --> 00:56:34,790
Thank you.

745
00:56:34,870 --> 00:56:35,070
Yeah.

746
00:56:35,250 --> 00:56:39,130
That explicitness that you were referring to is that from renewal to renewal.

747
00:56:39,870 --> 00:56:43,970
Part of that period for a certain amount of time whether we renew it or not.

748
00:56:45,110 --> 00:56:58,710
That is embodied within the franchise agreement, so if in 10 years if you chose to, if you chose to exit the current franchise and you wanted to remove exclusivity, that would be your option.

749
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:01,190
But it's for 10 years, that's what this whole thing is for.

750
00:57:01,590 --> 00:57:11,470
This franchise, the franchise, and that's something that John mentioned, what we had asked to do, because of the capital intensive nature of the business.

751
00:57:11,470 --> 00:57:13,470
you know, we're making long-term investments

752
00:57:13,470 --> 00:57:16,410
at just, you do this commissioners and so.

753
00:57:17,050 --> 00:57:19,870
But we also recognize that it seems that

754
00:57:19,870 --> 00:57:23,450
it's not due to the appetite of what's for a 10-year term.

755
00:57:23,630 --> 00:57:26,070
So what we asked to do is to sort of meet in the middle

756
00:57:26,070 --> 00:57:29,210
of the say, this is a 20-year franchise.

757
00:57:29,770 --> 00:57:32,990
However, the city has an exit at 10 years

758
00:57:32,990 --> 00:57:34,610
should you choose to exercise it?

759
00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:37,830
So it's the equivalent of a 10-year franchise.

760
00:57:39,350 --> 00:57:46,150
But I do, and this we're granting you a monopoly, right, for 20 years, and a senior.

761
00:57:49,410 --> 00:57:53,730
I assume that your rates are regulated by state.

762
00:57:54,170 --> 00:57:54,810
That's correct.

763
00:57:54,950 --> 00:58:00,330
Our rates, our rates, our service provisions, our service standards,

764
00:58:02,470 --> 00:58:07,810
all of that's regulated by the

765
00:58:07,810 --> 00:58:15,170
the growth as we grow and you set the vision as coming in and we're within the regional

766
00:58:15,790 --> 00:58:21,090
planning area in five years or maybe another company that we want to come to some area.

767
00:58:22,510 --> 00:58:26,390
So I think it's good to have a time frame on that because I have nothing to just keep on

768
00:58:26,390 --> 00:58:27,150
like you're very good.

769
00:58:27,310 --> 00:58:27,690
They do.

770
00:58:28,890 --> 00:58:33,070
But I think for the city, you know, in five years or maybe another player out there for

771
00:58:33,070 --> 00:58:33,710
some area.

772
00:58:33,710 --> 00:58:37,870
And you know, I would beg so I can make a big deal with the legislature.

773
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:47,000
You know, government's grant legal monopolies, because you don't want to set their gas lines

774
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,480
run all through the city, you know?

775
00:58:50,900 --> 00:58:53,840
You don't want to multiple, you know?

776
00:58:53,900 --> 00:58:56,960
Because the multiple lines, walking measures, there was multiple water companies.

777
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:04,380
And I think that does speak, again, in terms of practicality.

778
00:59:04,380 --> 00:59:13,920
And for practical purposes, you're not going to have that overlay in terms of the public safety for spots and the confusion that is required.

779
00:59:15,060 --> 00:59:20,260
I don't think anybody else has been knocking down the doors, not doing it here lately.

780
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,280
But I guess I have to lay a second set of pipes.

781
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,020
Yeah, I do have a question.

782
00:59:25,020 --> 00:59:28,060
And in the legislature, what Mr. Charles was saying just

783
00:59:28,060 --> 00:59:32,080
minutes ago, and that is that we've got a lot of areas that is not developed.

784
00:59:32,380 --> 00:59:33,520
Yeah, it is going to be developed.

785
00:59:34,660 --> 00:59:37,520
Where P0 does not now have lines.

786
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:42,620
Now, if another company came in, you wanted to go into that area.

787
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,480
And P0 said, well, that's not something we want to attack right now.

788
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,080
Would that be an opportunity there to proceed, y'all, to allow someone else to

789
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,900
and handle that market, or is that something the child would want to?

790
00:59:58,180 --> 00:59:59,960
I can't speak in the end.

791
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:09,940
And hop of that, what the situation would be, but I can tell you that we've got a pretty robust infrastructure around within Mount Juliet.

792
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:18,720
And typically how a natural gas utility expands, they don't typically sort of start in an area.

793
01:00:19,260 --> 01:00:28,000
You know, you have to connect out to the transmission infrastructure that's out there. So typically the way a natural gas utility expands as they expand from the center out.

794
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:40,960
creating a new center is extraordinarily difficult, because to do that, then they have to run their own infrastructure to a transmission pipeline to get that going.

795
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:54,920
So, again, in theory, I could see where that could happen, but in practice, just the nature of the way a natural gas system is built, it seems extraordinarily unlikely.

796
01:00:54,920 --> 01:01:14,980
And basically, that's another regulatory type item there so, for instance, as you develop new neighborhoods and they are the franchise, they can't say no, they have to provide the service to those subdivisions.

797
01:01:16,020 --> 01:01:16,040
Correct?

798
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:25,040
Well, we, because we're a regulated utility, every customer sort of has to stand on its own.

799
01:01:25,460 --> 01:01:35,260
Our regulators don't like the notion of your existing customer subsidizing service at a new subdivision.

800
01:01:35,260 --> 01:01:41,060
So if it doesn't make, if it's not economically viable,

801
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,320
our regulator won't let us subsidize, subsidize a customer

802
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:46,820
growth.

803
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:51,160
But I can also tell you that the most important thing,

804
01:01:51,660 --> 01:01:54,700
the most important thing for P. Mont Natural Gas is safe.

805
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,540
Next to that, though, is we want to continue

806
01:01:58,540 --> 01:02:00,040
to take care of our existing customers.

807
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:02,200
And we want to continue to grow our customers,

808
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,220
because unlike the public sector, it's a business.

809
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,960
And growth, customer growth is one of our primary goals.

810
01:02:10,660 --> 01:02:13,340
So I can assure you that at any chance,

811
01:02:13,820 --> 01:02:17,580
but we have to add to our customer base,

812
01:02:17,700 --> 01:02:20,120
it's good for P-min and it's good for the city

813
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,140
because of our financial arrangement that we have.

814
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,920
So I would say to one of the things that each of you can do

815
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,080
as new developments come online is to ask them

816
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:39,700
or not, they're utilizing natural gas, and then they say no, they say why not, and if you still don't get a great answer, tell me, we'll try to work it out.

817
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:45,060
Well, let me just cut that one in half or I'm calling you right now. The people in my district don't work off a webinar,

818
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:52,120
not, but don't have access against it. If you can handle that next week or two, I'd really appreciate it.

819
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,340
I'll certainly give a shot. Thank you.

820
01:02:56,340 --> 01:03:04,060
And for give us on the question, the whole American systems based on competition, and so we're

821
01:03:04,060 --> 01:03:08,780
granting you a monopoly, and consumers typically aren't real comfortable with monopolies.

822
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:15,000
So, of course, we have a re-operative monopoly with our sewer system, so we have the same

823
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:21,860
kinds of similar type goals and objectives in servicing customers expand the system in

824
01:03:21,860 --> 01:03:23,260
the form of support.

825
01:03:24,260 --> 01:03:26,240
Anyway, now the question is a comments.

826
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:27,960
All in favour?

827
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:29,620
Think if I buy a saying aye?

828
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:31,020
Any opposed?

829
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:32,260
That passes unanimously.

830
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:33,500
Thanks.

831
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:35,000
Yes, sir.

832
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:36,240
Before we...

833
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:37,940
Before we move on, if I could.

834
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:42,420
Got in several emails and text alerts about the

835
01:03:42,420 --> 01:03:44,100
durian road conditions.

836
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,460
I don't know if there's anything left on the agenda that we might want to

837
01:03:47,460 --> 01:03:50,100
consider flooding off to the next sort of picture.

838
01:03:50,300 --> 01:03:51,700
We're at the end of it, isn't that bad?

839
01:03:52,060 --> 01:03:52,700
Yeah, I see.

840
01:03:52,700 --> 01:03:57,840
I'm sorry to interrupt, but that's good point, that's good point.

841
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,300
So much for the desk, and we got the desk in earlier, but whatever's happened since

842
01:04:01,300 --> 01:04:06,640
has been a little bit more in Mayer, where that said I'd like to pull my particular item indefinitely

843
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,080
until further notice, which you want to let in for?

844
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:09,880
Yes, sir.

845
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:14,580
Okay, let in for is pulled until later notice, what else we got?

846
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:26,400
115, sounds like he can roll, that okay? Kenny, justor. 115 rolls, 116. Can y'all just do that real quick for me?

847
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:32,800
Get appointments to the Parks Board, Parks and Greenway Board, Gay Lynn Wilson and Rick Williams.

848
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,620
They both provided BIOS for you. I hope you had a chance to check them out.

849
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,200
Be great additions to our Parks and Greenway Board.

850
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:41,860
All in favor?

851
01:04:43,820 --> 01:04:49,670
That's just an appointment with the confirmation by the board so all in favor of those two sing if I'm by saying aye

852
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:56,040
Okay, thank you all and then we have one more. We've got to do any stop is

853
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,800
being nominated to

854
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:02,700
Continue to serve on the Board of Equalization for another one year two year term. Sorry

855
01:05:02,700 --> 01:05:09,720
Two year term. That's also a nomination by me in a vote on the out by the commission all in favor of

856
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,700
He's not serving in that role, I think if I'm by saying aye.

857
01:05:13,340 --> 01:05:13,780
Aye.

858
01:05:14,460 --> 01:05:15,360
And he posed.

859
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:17,680
And Commissioner Abs.

860
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:18,680
And you want to roll your?

861
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:19,040
Yeah.

862
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:21,220
The last two items are discussions.

863
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,860
So we'll just roll those to the next.

864
01:05:24,380 --> 01:05:26,320
Lemonate in the 11-9 will be rolled.

865
01:05:26,820 --> 01:05:28,560
If you're out on the road, please be safe.

866
01:05:28,740 --> 01:05:31,280
We're going to go ahead and abruptly close our meeting.

867
01:05:32,140 --> 01:05:33,000
They're all exposed.

868
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,080
So that we need a motion to adjourn.

869
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,120
For a second, all in favor of adjournings.

870
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,300
We are adjourned. Thank you all very much.
