1
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:56,440
Mayor, whenever you are

2
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,280
This service

3
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:59,199
Good evening. Thank you for your
patience. Today is Tuesday, August 4th,

4
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:05,080
2026. The time is 7:41. We now call to
order the town of Edenville Town Council

5
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,080
meeting.

6
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,800
We will now Hand for a moment of silence
on the pledge of allegiance. Glad you're

7
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,039
to my left. Your right.
>> Mayor, would you like for me to do the

8
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,800
quorum?
>> I'm sorry. Please verify.

9
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:21,840
» Okay. Councilwoman Randolph,
can I hear you?

10
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,560
» Um, Councilman Mack
>> here.

11
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,039
» Councilwoman Jordan
>> here.

12
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,960
» Vice Mayor Thomas
>> here.

13
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:34,759
» Mayor Kitten present.
Now we're moving five.

14
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Aliance
to the flag of the United States of

15
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:58,240
America and to the republic for which it
stands. One nation under God,

16
00:08:55,839 --> 00:09:01,480
indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all.

17
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:09,880
We are now ready for the approval of the
agenda or entertain a motion

18
00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:23,600
moved and second with discussion. Um,
we need to add in between consent agenda

19
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:30,000
and council decision council discussion
to include the leftover items from

20
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:35,200
workshop which would be the RFP
discussion for magistrate as well as the

21
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:41,360
group mount scholarship.
And I would also like to move

22
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:44,839
the consent agenda item down to cons
council decisions.

23
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:53,680
Adding two items for discussion coming
over from workshop

24
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:59,320
» and then
moving the consent item agenda to

25
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,320
decision

26
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,519
type of
>> that's administrative

27
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,040
» for clarity. Councilwoman wanted to
bring to our attention that IBC under

28
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:26,040
presentations and recognition is
actually an administrative

29
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,040
request.

30
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:36,000
» Right there may council
as a point something that we could do

31
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,880
since we want to make decision on that
we could combine that presentation and

32
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:45,839
at the same time
instead of doing that topic then come

33
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:49,920
down and talk about later
>> so you want to add it to decisions

34
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,399
instead of discussion
>> yes

35
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:58,399
» and then that would leave the
scholarship as the only discussion item

36
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,360
» I can discuss the scholarship in my
report

37
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:01,680
» okay
>> because I will be covering bring them

38
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:09,120
out the scholarship.
>> I I'd like to discuss the magistrate

39
00:11:04,959 --> 00:11:13,040
position uh actually prior to decision
and discussion within a motion.

40
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:18,000
» Yeah, let's talk about it.
>> Yeah. So, okay.

41
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:26,079
» Let's talk about it. Um
and that's also with the uh with the

42
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:31,120
other fun as well. Um that is the life.
>> Okay.

43
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:37,680
» So, that would be to add Is that it
number three?

44
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:41,920
» Yes. Item number three to council
discussion.

45
00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:47,519
» Right. Well,
>> so just to clarify, we are clarifying

46
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:53,279
that item C in presentations is
administrative. We are moving consent

47
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:58,000
agend consent agenda item number one
down to council decisions. We are

48
00:11:55,519 --> 00:12:02,959
inserting between consent agenda and
council decisions two discussion items.

49
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:09,360
One being the
general general legal council discussion

50
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:14,000
as well as the magistrate discussion.
>> Yes. Did I leave anything else?

51
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:18,560
» All right. It has been moved and second.
All in favor of approving the agenda

52
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:24,720
with these amendments signify I.
>> I. All oppose.

53
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:29,079
All right. The agenda is approved. We
are now ready for presentation.

54
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:47,839
» The post presentation
to the 18th

55
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,079
notable today.
>> Is your microphone on?

56
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,880
» Yeah, it's on.
>> Okay. Just making sure. should have been

57
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:58,279
moved to the 188.
I had that

58
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:05,600
» in particular was not able to make it
today.

59
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:11,519
» Macki did not give me a reason. He said
18th would be more.

60
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:14,639
» But when did you hear this news?
When did he actually get the news from

61
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:20,560
him thinking that he wasn't going to be
here when it was already on agenda for

62
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:25,279
him to um make a presentation? So it was
put on it was put on the agenda from

63
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:29,120
previous saying that he will come in and
then we reached out to him for

64
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:35,560
confirmation that after the agenda had
published he said that he won't be able

65
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,560
to come until 18 and what was that

66
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:43,120
these are very important matters because
one thing about it anytime you have

67
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:48,079
someone that's supposed to be giving
presentation they they typically show up

68
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:50,880
and one in particular is Dr. Philip,
there's not one time that they haven't

69
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:55,920
been here and they're showing
consistency with me and especially with

70
00:13:53,680 --> 00:14:02,720
projects that have not been done and
completed yet. That's very problematic

71
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:07,760
to me. Um, but I I I deal with this
during my report. I will say

72
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:11,360
» July 27th,
>> July 22nd, he said he was gonna he said

73
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:16,320
he wasn't going to be here.
>> July 27th when we reached back out to

74
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:21,560
him and
last

75
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,560
is going to be a sent.

76
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:28,160
» But when we get notification, you send
an email out to all council members.

77
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:33,120
» To say again,
>> did you send a Did you send a email out

78
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:35,279
to each council member saying that he
wasn't going to be here?

79
00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:39,839
» No, sir.
>> Can you tell me why? Because I was

80
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:44,240
expecting to be here tonight.
>> They didn't want to know what's going on

81
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:47,360
with um both. I I understand
>> especially with everything that's taking

82
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:52,800
place over there from an infrastructure
point of view and them not having an OC

83
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:56,079
yet not being completed yet. When I
drive by going to work and coming home,

84
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,040
it don't even look like it's going to be
completed anytime soon.

85
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:05,440
» All those things have been stressed to
him and we've given him this what third

86
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:12,920
opportunity and if he hasn't showed up.
>> What is the dollar amount?

87
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,920
to now get that dollar amount as

88
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:25,240
possibly 96,000 right now.
So before CO can come out that 96,000

89
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,240
would have to be unless yos.

90
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:32,560
» Okay. No, go ahead.
>> No, no, it's just kind of piggy backing

91
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:38,560
off of Councilman M. This is to attorney
Jackson. If there's anything I probably

92
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:43,760
not that we can do legally in terms of
like we just keep getting pushed off and

93
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:49,680
pushed off, you know, uh a business that
is in our town, right? Is there anything

94
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:55,440
legally that we can do?
>> So, um, Council, I believe we had this

95
00:15:53,440 --> 00:16:00,079
conversation about two or three months
ago, uh, where the request was made to

96
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:04,240
see if they could be compelled to come
to a meeting. At that time, I advised

97
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:08,000
you cannot compel them to come to a
meeting.

98
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:13,120
» In working together, uh, you would ask
them to come and vote that they would

99
00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:20,320
come to uh, but you cannot force them to
come. The only as CEO D was saying that

100
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:24,880
um is possible at this point is that
they don't have seal uh and up until the

101
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:30,480
time that they are approved they
continue to have daily bonds of $250.

102
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:34,480
Now, another thing, I'm glad I'm glad
you said that. Um,

103
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:40,160
is there other is there other
stipulation that we can put on there in

104
00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:46,399
terms of hiking it up perhaps? Because I
know I I'm the one that was kind of

105
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:50,800
lenient on not doing what this original
board wanted to do. That would have been

106
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:55,680
pretty significant for them. And they
kind of probably glad that we didn't go

107
00:16:52,399 --> 00:17:03,279
down that path. and me being fair,
right? I chose to go a different

108
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:08,319
direction. But as of now, um this is
becoming a major problem right now. We

109
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:12,959
talking about six years, six years on a
project that should have been done in

110
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:18,240
three years or less. So I know inflation
happens, things like that nature. And I

111
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:22,720
get it. I get it. Right. But we're
talking about a business. He got a

112
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:27,360
business operation. So do we. And we got
to You got to do it accordingly. And if

113
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:31,679
we continue going down this path that
we're going down, we're definitely going

114
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:34,640
to have to put more stipulations on it.
And I know I don't know what that look

115
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:40,160
like, but it's got to get something
done. We can't sit here and continue

116
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:43,760
letting him slap us to the face each and
every time that he's supposed to meet

117
00:17:41,919 --> 00:17:49,280
with us. I haven't seen him in over a
year. Actually, longer than that. I

118
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:53,760
haven't seen him in over a year. And
that's problematic

119
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:58,880
to me as a council member, as a
legislator, as a leader, as a servant in

120
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:02,640
this community, and getting constant
phone calls. And every time I go to the

121
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,919
store, I'm getting people like, "Hey,
what's going on with post staff? What's

122
00:18:03,919 --> 00:18:09,520
going on in this building over here?"
And I got to answer to these people

123
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:14,000
because they're my citizens. These are
the ones that's selected me electing me

124
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:19,280
to sit up here to serve them. And if we
sit up here as leaders and continue to

125
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:23,840
let this happen, shame on us. So, if
he's watching,

126
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:28,400
um, he need to make sure that he's
coming to see us and explaining to us

127
00:18:25,919 --> 00:18:34,400
why he don't have a OC yet and why he's
not at completion what he should have

128
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:39,360
» and and council match um to kind of
respond to what you're saying. Um, this

129
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:45,039
this process actually started in 2015
uh is when it actually started the act

130
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:49,520
track sometime in 2018. there has been
there have been excuse me uh two agendas

131
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:53,760
to that contract since then. uh I
believe that if they have gone beyond

132
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:59,440
that uh beyond the provisions of the
agenda that it would be appropriate uh

133
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:04,400
to determine if a third is appropriate
in this case and with that third to

134
00:19:01,919 --> 00:19:08,799
determine if there are any additional
provisions that need to be added to that

135
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:12,960
in order to address the concern
>> because I have a lot of questions that I

136
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:16,720
want to actually ask him tonight and one
of them being infrastructure issues that

137
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:22,880
we're having with the flooding that
continue happening over here anytime it

138
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:29,120
rains and it's I was the last time I
seen a lake over there. I was in Las

139
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:33,520
Vegas and this actually popped up on the
noodles and I'm telling you man, it was

140
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:38,240
at social to see these cars damaged. It
was a lot of people that had damaged

141
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:42,320
vehicles that had driven through this
lake or whatever that we had over here.

142
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:48,160
And you know what really bothers me? We
gave them $200,000 for infrastructure.

143
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:54,960
$200,000 that I've been approved by the
way because I was definitely not um I

144
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:59,200
was opposed to getting $200,000 for what
and then you know began slapping in the

145
00:19:56,799 --> 00:20:05,440
face constantly right now and we're
continually having infrastructure issues

146
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:09,760
right now and my next question was um
like I said I got tons of questions for

147
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:14,400
Mr. Manning and and one of them are
going to be um the the

148
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:22,200
I I I deal with is doing my report
because I don't want to prolong this um

149
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,200
meeting but I deal with doing my report.

150
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,760
We have again a question before we move
on to the next presentation

151
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:36,280
about the post presentation. Is it about
presentation?

152
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:52,559
I can't hear you.
>> She cut a mic off. [laughter]

153
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,080
» Yeah, I think this is the third or
fourth time that we've had this on the

154
00:20:54,159 --> 00:21:02,960
agenda and we're trying to bring some
clarity to our community and it is a

155
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:09,039
issue. uh as we all know that this um
difficult topic has really been uh in

156
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:13,360
the forefront um not only just locally
but a national basis. So I think that

157
00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:19,280
it's getting to the point that we may
need to revisit another addendum

158
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:25,840
contract and see what we can do as far
as um getting some closure to to this

159
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:30,480
problem. And sadly, this problem has
been stretched out long enough to we

160
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:36,679
need to move forward as legislators and
do what we know what we need to do to

161
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,679
protect our community.

162
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,120
» So with that, I would like to put

163
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:51,679
» we are in my presentations right now.
>> Yes. We'll revisit this later on in the

164
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:57,039
Yes. the meeting. Um Mr. games. I'm
assuming you said um if I'm not mistaken

165
00:21:53,679 --> 00:22:00,679
that we are rescheduling for the 18th.
>> That's that's what he said.

166
00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:09,840
» Did he send email?
>> He sent a message and I tried to call

167
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:16,159
him back on it as well and he said he
had things going on next time

168
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:21,520
CC us also because I want to see the
message as well or you CC. Okay.

169
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:26,240
» Because I want I want confirmation.
I'm I'm tired of hearing about oh I'll

170
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:30,559
be there next week and then come next
week. It's always something else. I I

171
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:34,000
constantly talk about this every
meeting. You know that the only one that

172
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,799
probably bring time up because I'm
talking been sitting up here during the

173
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,520
time that we've been dealing with the
whole time and we're talking about over

174
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:47,679
six years now. Well, in this year longer
than that you said what 2015? [snorts]

175
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:51,559
» Yeah.
which is even more promising

176
00:22:53,360 --> 00:23:04,559
11 years. That's a long time.
>> But anyways, and I I know about talking

177
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:08,640
this is leading to, you know, business
property rights and all those different

178
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:16,240
things. So those things that attorney
Jackson or U town attorneys will have to

179
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:20,559
deal with you know profit rights and all
that aspect

180
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,600
that's
>> yeah if you can kind of speak on that a

181
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,400
little bit about we could have some kind
of um

182
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:32,000
» or maybe during reports can you address
that when we say natural reports I don't

183
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:35,679
know what's going on now like now like
just brief

184
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:40,720
» if you can make it brief because we have
two presentation. There's been a full

185
00:23:37,679 --> 00:23:48,480
agenda. Just briefly briefly
>> just the the 37,000 view is that

186
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:53,280
businesses have rights to use their
property much the same way that citizens

187
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:57,000
do. However, this is slightly different
because there was contracts

188
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:04,400
business
certain aspects of the property. So

189
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:09,480
while business
is

190
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,480
relationship

191
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:21,080
» all right thank you so much.
>> All right we are ready for

192
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,080
convention.

193
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:41,200
Good evening council. Good evening
community. I am Dr. I am the chair of

194
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:46,279
the doctor charities initiative advisory
committee.

195
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:46,279
» Thank you.

196
00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:54,880
» I kind of feel like I should break into
song now.

197
00:24:51,120 --> 00:25:00,480
No. Um, so I am here with a regular
update and the most important part of

198
00:24:57,919 --> 00:25:06,320
tonight's update of course is that we
have our meet and greet. The meet and

199
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:13,120
greet is on Wednesday, that's tomorrow
evening. It starts at 5:30 p.m. at

200
00:25:09,919 --> 00:25:16,720
Macedonia and uh we're going to start
off with dinner and prayer and then

201
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:22,799
we're going to open it up for
conversation. Um,

202
00:25:19,679 --> 00:25:28,720
and again many times that you'll see
when you attend tomorrow.

203
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:33,039
Community work begins with conversation.
It begins with listening. So tomorrow is

204
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:38,000
really just about having this
conversation. It's about being able to

205
00:25:35,679 --> 00:25:43,039
give everyone the opportunity to know
individual members of the advisory

206
00:25:39,919 --> 00:25:48,880
committee, Dr. Phillips team. Um, and
then really just opening it up and be

207
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:53,919
able to hear from community members what
their thoughts are, what their ideas

208
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:57,520
are, what their requests are, and of
course what their questions are. So

209
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:03,760
that's the focus for tomorrow's
evenings. Um, and you know, I will say

210
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:08,640
that I' I've heard from so many people
who are encouraged, motivated, inspired

211
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:12,960
about this work, and we look forward to
hearing all those thoughts. But I have

212
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:18,640
also heard from some of you on the
council for concern. You have concerns

213
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:24,080
and so I will really just request and
ask you to come share let's dialogue

214
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:31,120
let's talk it's not a time setting um
and we really look forward to being able

215
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:37,200
to have these strong conversations where
the ideas the collaboration just becomes

216
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:44,159
part of the consistent flow. So that's
the most important update. Um and then

217
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:50,159
the next piece as you know is that Dr.
Phillips Charities has submitted his

218
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:55,520
application to CDT. That application
went in uh very recently. The

219
00:26:52,400 --> 00:27:01,360
application is a public document all
seated on the north development tax

220
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:08,799
advisory
task force website. Um and then tomorrow

221
00:27:05,679 --> 00:27:15,840
uh the slide deck presentation that
accompanies that uh aging water that

222
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:23,919
will also become uh available for people
to take a look at. So um again you know

223
00:27:19,919 --> 00:27:33,360
that proposal is for uh cultural
heritage park as well as an Eenville

224
00:27:30,159 --> 00:27:37,919
museum. So, I know that there's been
some questions from people in the public

225
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:42,960
uh about, you know, why are there so
many of the same proposals? And this is

226
00:27:40,159 --> 00:27:49,279
really important to point out every
single proposal is

227
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:54,240
unique and different. It expresses
something unique and different. Um, and

228
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,880
so what Dr. Philip Charities wanted to
do with this proposal was to really

229
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:07,039
think about all the feedback that has
been heard over the years about Eville

230
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:14,080
museum specific to Eenville and uh being
able to help generate the opportunity

231
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:21,120
for such museums to come to be. So I
will leave it there and I welcome any

232
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:25,039
questions or comments this evening. Do
we have any council questions or

233
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:28,159
comments? Well, I just want to make a
comment because I'm I'm only one of the

234
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:32,240
ones that recommended that we come and
do updates for this particular region

235
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:36,000
while we're having with Holstein. Thank
you for being consistent in doing so.

236
00:28:34,159 --> 00:28:42,159
Um, thanks for all the information that
you tell us on each council member um

237
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:47,279
meeting um very educational, very
information also because we get actual

238
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:54,159
updates and I do have an opportunity to
meet with um some of the well Mr.

239
00:28:50,880 --> 00:29:00,240
Robinson also just to get my own updates
as well. Now my only question that I got

240
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:05,120
is um when did you guys actually closing
or anticipate on closing on the

241
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:11,279
property? We know that actual date.
>> So the trajectory is anticipated to be

242
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:16,559
this month the month of August. Um an
exact final date. You know we have a lot

243
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:22,399
of lawyers in the room tonight. So, you
know, all displaying lots of finishing

244
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:28,240
up discussions at sometime in August is
when we anticipate.

245
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:32,399
» I do have one question as well, Dr.
Maroon, and I don't know how I've missed

246
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:39,039
it the last couple of meetings, but I do
know that the council or maybe myself

247
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:43,440
did request uh to have uh is your
advisor board is it complete? because I

248
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:49,440
know that we did asked if we could have
a representation from from the council

249
00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:56,559
or we could choose someone and I do know
that we were denied that opportunity and

250
00:29:52,880 --> 00:30:02,080
that still is uh troubling to me as to
you know as to why but I guess it's your

251
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:08,880
prerogative. So I guess I didn't answer
the wrong question. Um but that's still

252
00:30:05,679 --> 00:30:13,279
that still is bothersome to me. Uh, and
I know that I have been one of the ones

253
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:18,080
that have not probably met with you all.
Um, and I say it here, I say it

254
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:24,640
publicly, you know, because I just still
have my own thoughts in regards to how

255
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:28,480
this whole thing is is um, it's kind of
panning out. Again,

256
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:34,159
Councilman Mack, you did mention your
closing date, and I do know that that

257
00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:39,760
there was a meeting today with uh a
hearing at the courthouse with Southern

258
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:43,840
Poverty Law, and I'm not really sure
what the results are. Do you know what

259
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:48,159
happened at that?
>> We are not a party to that lawsuit.

260
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,640
» You're not so Oh, that that is correct.
That was with the school board. Okay.

261
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:57,600
So, I'll have to do further research in
terms of that, but uh it would be

262
00:30:55,279 --> 00:31:02,320
interesting to see what the results of
that meeting was. Um, but again, folks,

263
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:07,120
I know that we're going to meet with Dr.
Phillips, but please be mindful that we

264
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:12,000
did put a request in from this board
that would deny an opportunity to have

265
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:18,960
someone uh sit on this board. I I am
excited to move forward, but I cannot

266
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:23,200
just act as if, you know, again, like
we're not being heard on this council.

267
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:29,039
So, thank you.
>> Yeah. And I I do want to um make sure in

268
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:34,720
the spirit of transparency,
collaboration. So for folks who haven't

269
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:41,200
been following the stepbystep process
here, um the advisory committee was

270
00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:45,600
seated in uh February to March. I
believe the advisory committee was

271
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:51,519
seated in March or April
and subsequent to the advisory committee

272
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:55,679
being seated. Uh members of town council
requested that they have the opportunity

273
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:59,679
to have representation on the committee.
Dr. Phillips indicated that they would

274
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:07,840
provide a response to that request in a
period of 30 days. Um, and Dr. Phillips

275
00:32:03,519 --> 00:32:13,360
uh elected that they would um keep the
advisory committee in the formation that

276
00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:18,799
it currently is. And the piece that I
would want to add to that is that the

277
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:26,960
seated committee members um are serving
terms of between two and three years. Um

278
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:31,919
and so at that two and three year mark
uh is when it will be time to revisit

279
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:36,720
the makeup of the firm. And I do
understand and hear what you're saying

280
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:42,799
um about you know disagreeing with that.
And you know what what I want to say is

281
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:47,200
that this moment, this conversation,
that's exactly where the partnership,

282
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:52,640
the collaboration happens over the next
few years as this project is happening

283
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:57,360
is that I understand that you disagree
and you're telling me you disagree and

284
00:32:54,799 --> 00:33:01,600
I'm hearing that and acknowledging that
and I just hope that as we continue to

285
00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:06,720
have these back courts, you'll see that
the the respect and the willingness to

286
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:10,799
have dialogue where we may not come to
the same point of agreement where we're

287
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:17,399
still really hearing each other and
acknowledging each other. Um, and then

288
00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:17,399
that's the work that we're doing.

289
00:33:17,679 --> 00:33:24,480
» I would like to say been here several
times

290
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:29,840
and this same issue of piece coming up
time and time again

291
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:34,240
and not really seen much of it in
collaboration

292
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:39,279
to work with the town. We've had the
same council woman to bring yourself

293
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:46,399
repeatedly. So if you really want to
work with the town and create really

294
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:52,399
good collaboration, I think that request
should have already been been met by by

295
00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:58,080
this time. So um that's my feelings and
that's what I I go by what I see um not

296
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:05,200
so much what I feel but what I actually
see. I'm seeation here. think is is

297
00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:12,159
fair. Um
um you all have taken a lead on several

298
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:18,879
things that um I have strongly u
concerns about uh how we going about

299
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:23,440
this procedures just not in some ways
some of this is not in the best interest

300
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:28,800
of the people from Edenville to be heard
by their own representative.

301
00:34:25,919 --> 00:34:33,280
Thank you very much.
Well, thank you for the feedback and

302
00:34:31,359 --> 00:34:39,679
again I do want to clarify that there
are committee members who are residents

303
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:44,399
of the town of Edville and I also want
to clarify that there are committee

304
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:49,919
members who are legacy residents of the
town of Beville. So there are community

305
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:54,639
members who are represented on the
advisory committee and again I

306
00:34:51,760 --> 00:35:01,760
understand that who those people are may
be a point of um disagreement. Um, but

307
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:08,079
it is for me as the advisory committee
chair, it's incumbent upon me to really

308
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:13,599
be very consistent about acknowledging
the Eastville community members who have

309
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:20,400
chose to take the time to show up to
participate um, and to be part of the

310
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:23,599
process. So again, I I absolutely hear
what you're saying. I understand it's

311
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:30,000
frustrating. I understand there's a
point of disagreement. Um, but I do also

312
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:36,880
want to is always really consistently
clear that members of the Houston

313
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:41,440
community are part of the right group.
>> Have you added anyone new to your

314
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:47,359
advisory committee? I know you said that
you all started I don't know March,

315
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:50,880
February, January. Have you all added
any uh new members to your advisory

316
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:55,040
board? No,
>> all of the committee members were seated

317
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:58,640
at the same time so that they could go
through orientation together.

318
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:09,280
I don't know. Okay. Yes, ma'am. Thank
you so very much.

319
00:36:07,839 --> 00:36:13,079
» Do we have any other questions or
comments for doctors?

320
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,720
» Right. We are ready for our next
presentation.

much time are we allowing

323
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:38,200
our high level tonight?

324
00:36:52,640 --> 00:37:08,320
Um we just committed uh 10 to our
research was you know 250 kids

325
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:15,040
250 kids uh a day for 10
that ended on Friday.

326
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:21,599
However, our group that uh is housed
here at Johnson doesn't end until this

327
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:30,720
coming Thursday.
So it's be there last day. um working on

328
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:37,960
changing allow to be changing enough
schools

329
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,960
to uh Saturdays only

330
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:52,480
to
15th of August, we have our first live

331
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:58,800
football game for our youth
over at high school starts at 9 a.m. So,

332
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:05,839
please feel free to come out and share
it. So, on August 16th, we are taking

333
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:11,520
our fishing group over to Lake
Fairville.

334
00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:19,040
And from 9 to 12, we have our 10 young
men, sorry, nine young men

335
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:25,720
that actually participates in that. So
doing that

336
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,720
with some other stuff

337
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:38,320
Wednesdays still have our on Wednesdays
and things to do come out and take part

338
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:47,320
of it. That's uh 10:00 a.m. to 12 p.m.
uh every Wednesday to September.

339
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,320
That's

340
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:57,680
» I do have a question. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. Uh in terms of the pool hours,

341
00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:03,520
are you going to open the pool on
Saturdays?

342
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:07,680
Uh what 1 to 5 1 to 5?
>> Yeah.

343
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:12,240
» Okay.
What time do we generally go during the

344
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:16,160
week? Is it 5:00?
Okay.

345
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:22,160
This week now it's open
but not going to be open

346
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:29,320
Friday or Saturday
probably kids because

347
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,320
that's

348
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:38,800
» okay. So you don't think we'll get any
participation for the students like

349
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:44,640
after school or anything like that? um
just because we are in Florida and it's

350
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:50,880
still hot and you know like but just an
opportunity for them to to swim versus

351
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:56,560
just run around in the street. Um I mean
for for the pool to just be open for one

352
00:39:53,200 --> 00:40:04,079
for four hours a week.
That seems a little I know unfair to the

353
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:10,160
kid. We train that
kids once the program begins pick them

354
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:14,560
up.
So,

355
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:17,560
but I can look into it to see.
>> Yeah.

356
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:27,359
» I mean, I mean, I get it, but you know,
it's just a thought um in terms of

357
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:31,839
giving them some activities to do. Um
because it's still light outside, right?

358
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:35,839
it don't get dark at 8:30, you know, and
I see kids, you know, just up and down

359
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:41,440
the street. And if we can have an
opportunity to have the pool open, you

360
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:45,359
know, a couple days out of the week, I I
think, you know, it's worth trying. If

361
00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:49,440
it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Um,
but just arbitrarily just say we going

362
00:40:47,359 --> 00:40:54,320
to, you know, be paying employees to
work in the recreation department, but

363
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:59,280
be open for 4 hours a week. I don't
know. And what are other municipalities

364
00:40:56,720 --> 00:41:04,400
doing in terms of recreation department?
What are they doing in terms of their

365
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:07,680
pool and pool hours? It's just a
question. You don't have to answer me

366
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:12,000
right now, but I just wonder what does
that look like? Um, remember I'm old

367
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:16,560
school. I grew up like in Eville and we
swam all day every day. Played tennis,

368
00:41:14,319 --> 00:41:21,040
basketball, jumped in the pool, you you
understand? So, I would just like to see

369
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:27,319
the kids have the same opportunities
that we were afforded. And that's all I

370
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:27,319
have to go on, y'all.

371
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:38,240
Good evening.
>> Yeah, if you can hold it like this.

372
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:44,440
» Oh, here we are. Thank you. Good
evening, Mayor C.

373
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,440
Yes.

374
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:53,119
» Just use your outside voice and speak
right into

375
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:56,560
uh I'll keep this very brief. Uh thank
you, Mr.

376
00:41:54,240 --> 00:42:02,480
to come in and talk about the um
hydrilla on the lake. One of one of the

377
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:08,640
things that we um are standing on is we
will not put chemicals in the lake. We

378
00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:15,359
did a big investment with donation from
uh Florida fish and wildlife for the

379
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:23,119
large bass. We are putting a cart in the
lake. So bear with us. But we will be

380
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:28,440
against this uh activity to get the high
review as part of the overall program.

381
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:38,240
So thank you so much for bringing that
up. Uh from a regulatory standpoint uh

382
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:44,319
we have uh we're working on backflow
prevention device inspections uh hydrant

383
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:49,440
inspections and val inspections. Um we
attended the Florida rural water

384
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:54,560
conference last week. Very exciting. Um
two of our two of our guys sitted and TJ

385
00:42:52,319 --> 00:42:58,400
came and it was good for them to get
exposure to their colleagues in the

386
00:42:56,240 --> 00:43:02,720
industry as well as understanding what
the vendors are doing and it was a great

387
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:07,520
um relationship builder because our
funders were there. Florida D was there

388
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:11,359
and we got a chance to have Tommy with
them. They talked to us about some more

389
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:15,760
money that was out there. So it was an
exciting um and a great investment for

390
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:19,839
our department to participate and
actually be in the place uh for building

391
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:25,680
place. So it was very good for us to
participate. Um our water and sewer

392
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:29,599
program is moving along the marine
station project. Uh the contract has

393
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:34,240
already been led to the contractor. So
that work will be starting soon. Uh they

394
00:43:32,319 --> 00:43:38,960
haven't got a notice to proceed yet but
we'll be um working closely and notify

395
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:43,280
everybody about uh the timing of that.
We did our notifications that late last

396
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:46,720
stage feeding, but we'll be working
closely with the neighborhood to make

397
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:51,599
sure everyone's aware of what's going
on. Um, and then we have the other

398
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:57,200
programs projects that are ready to be
led. Um, but before we are moving

399
00:43:54,560 --> 00:44:01,119
forward to bid these projects out, we
are going to do a comprehensive risk

400
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:06,079
analysis of the projects and make sure
that uh we are very clear about how

401
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:12,240
we're looking into the construction for
the water treatment plant. the uh sewer

402
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:17,920
projects and the um water replacement
projects. Uh good news is the water

403
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:22,640
plants already been permitted by FD. The
sewer projects and the uh warming

404
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:26,640
projects have also been permitted. We
are waiting for the final authorization

405
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:33,119
for two of those projects from the state
for funding. So uh we're moving uh

406
00:44:29,359 --> 00:44:36,960
forward very well. Um, Catalina,
uh, the PAL building has finally

407
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:42,319
received a permit and construction has
started immediately on the decking

408
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:47,359
around the modules that are in there and
landscaping. So, uh, that's look out for

409
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:51,599
that work and the work that we're doing
with the storm water project for storm

410
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:57,440
water improvements for Catalina. That's
the Orange County CDPG funding. Uh, the

411
00:44:55,040 --> 00:45:01,839
RFP for the engineer and landscape
architect is out on the street. So,

412
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:07,920
we're waiting to um have that back so
everyone can be aware and uh staff can

413
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:12,480
participate and and participate in the
selection of the engineer for that

414
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:18,480
project. I tried to do it very quickly.
So, any questions? If not, that's

415
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:22,560
a question. Um
can you speak at all at this time? I

416
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:28,400
know council man brought up against
comments during the presentation about a

417
00:45:25,119 --> 00:45:33,119
late work order if you will. Councilman
B brought up in his comments for the

418
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:38,160
host presentation, the concern about the
flooding on

419
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:42,800
um Wor. Can you speak at all at this
time to what is causing that? If I'm not

420
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:47,200
mistaken, there was some easements and
some other swells or not a public works

421
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:51,200
professional, but there were some other
things that were out of both the town of

422
00:45:49,359 --> 00:45:56,480
Eatenville and the business owner's
control. Do we know what's causing that?

423
00:45:54,720 --> 00:46:00,400
Have we had any conversations with the
associated or appropriate parties as as

424
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:05,119
far as that's concerned?
>> Yes, the group of us um including Orange

425
00:46:03,119 --> 00:46:08,480
County. Orange County has maintenance of
the ditches. Uh they actually wrote a

426
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:14,079
letter today wanting to know what's
going on. We've met about three times

427
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:18,560
with um Manny uh Manny's engineer and
the contractor. Uh, one of the biggest

428
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:23,680
problems they had is they do not have a
management district permit for the

429
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:27,920
driveway and they contacted us and let
us know that there's a big concern

430
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:32,160
there. Uh, but there's one of the main
problems that's causing water not to

431
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:37,040
flow is they do not have the culvert
under the road. The pipe that continues

432
00:46:34,319 --> 00:46:41,200
the water flow down by the road. It was
not built appropriately. So, they're

433
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:45,440
trying to solve that problem. I think
there was some interference with the

434
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:51,280
maintenance and bobs. They have a lot of
inventory

435
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:54,880
uh power and communications. Is that
>> associated with the data center?

436
00:46:53,119 --> 00:46:57,280
» So you're saying the business owner has
that?

437
00:46:55,280 --> 00:47:03,040
» The business owner has a lot of pipes, a
lot of boxes and all this stuff and the

438
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:08,400
contractor has to coordinate that with
the drainage to make sure the drain is

439
00:47:05,119 --> 00:47:13,440
closed. So they have their construction
concerns that they have to work on along

440
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:19,920
with uh their engineer. And do we know
if Orange County and Duke and FD do have

441
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:24,160
because the reports that I've seen have
attributed some of that flooding to

442
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:27,440
things that are outside of the town and
the business own.

443
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:32,560
» It is outside of the town,
>> right? But some of those concerns have

444
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:36,000
been attributed to the other parties. So
do we know what roles the other parties

445
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:42,240
play? If we're having conversations with
host, are we also having conversations

446
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:46,960
with EDOT, Orange County, and Duke
>> and AT&T? Are we having conversations

447
00:47:44,319 --> 00:47:52,240
with all involved parties there? The
last meeting we had, all of them were

448
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:57,440
there. Duke was in denial, but they they
said they were there first. And so, it's

449
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:02,240
essentially the author's responsibility
to make sure that things were put in

450
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:06,319
sequence
and done properly. Otherwise, they have

451
00:48:04,319 --> 00:48:11,359
to rip off. I I don't want to go into
that, but they do have uh the owner has

452
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,040
responsibility to make sure the road is
built correctly.

453
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,200
» Okay.
>> And we're there to make sure that

454
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:19,760
they're county is also at the payroll
and and

455
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:24,559
management.
>> Okay. I just wanted to make sure because

456
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:29,440
I know that it does um get pretty bad
over there and I've been over there and

457
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:32,800
I've talked to both Duke and the
business owner and it sounds like it's a

458
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:37,280
multi-party
um responsibility even in addition to

459
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:41,359
the amendments that he's made over there
that there have been additional

460
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:46,480
conversations after the fact with those
associated parties to work something out

461
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:50,079
on who will be doing what. So, I just
want to make sure that we don't

462
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:53,280
articulate that it's any one party's
responsibility without the documentation

463
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:58,160
to support it.
>> That's correct. But if if they don't do

464
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:02,480
their due diligence, we still have the
problem. And I think it's going to be

465
00:49:00,319 --> 00:49:07,760
where we have to sit down with Orange
County leadership and say, "How are we

466
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:11,200
going to solve this if does not do it in
a timely manner?" Okay. So, I I think

467
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:15,520
those conversations need to continue.
>> Okay. Thank you for the clarity. My

468
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:21,520
second is regarding um Lady King. So I
know um I also spoke to rep or uh

469
00:49:18,559 --> 00:49:27,119
resident Jenin about the concern and I
know that the end of Catalina and Lake

470
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:33,040
King that they live on is not the
Francis Jerry Park area. So do we know

471
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:37,680
if the carb and the vegetation control
that we've um implemented out there

472
00:49:35,119 --> 00:49:41,920
extends to that back side of the lake?
>> It's all part of the same water body,

473
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:46,960
but uh I will have to do the updated
report. Okay. I do need to do a little

474
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:48,400
more research. uh in order to get you
more better information.

475
00:49:48,079 --> 00:49:52,079
» Okay.
>> But

476
00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:55,680
yeah, I do know that there's been some
concerns back there. So, we could just

477
00:49:53,599 --> 00:50:00,160
make sure, you know, I know we put a big
focus on Francis Jerry Park as we

478
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:06,000
should. It's property. We need to ensure
that um our recreational facilities and

479
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:11,040
parks look nice. But um considering that
that lake borders residential

480
00:50:08,319 --> 00:50:14,640
properties, let's make sure that we are
checking a little further back doing a

481
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:18,240
little extra going above and beyond the
resident system.

482
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:23,599
» And if we made incorrect assessment
about not using chemicals, please advise

483
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:28,720
me. U chemicals will be the speediest
way to get done, but we were concerned

484
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:32,319
about contamination as well. So just let
me know because

485
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:38,319
» I just want to say uh thank you Miss
Monday um for for the updated report and

486
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:42,640
also mayor as well especially when we
talking about host uh because this seems

487
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:49,200
to be the most information that I've
heard um in terms of um any details as

488
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:53,760
to what's going on in host because
ordinarily when we get up here it's just

489
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:59,440
mute and silent as if there's nothing
going on. So I want to tell I want to

490
00:50:56,079 --> 00:51:05,200
say thank you. So I do feel a little
better or at ease in terms like because

491
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:09,440
up here it feels like nothing is
happening and that we don't have any any

492
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:14,480
type of communication that's going on
with Manny. It's just always he's not

493
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:19,920
coming, he's not coming. So thank you so
much and thank you mayor uh for giving

494
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:24,280
me a little bit more peace of mind.
Right. So I do appreciate that.

495
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:42,160
Uh thank you Carol Town for Virginia

town.

534
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:31,559
When I start to call back up,

535
00:55:32,319 --> 00:55:41,839
I just have a question like code
enforcement. What can I speak to? Um,

536
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:46,160
» code code enforcement
um in terms of an ordinance that I think

537
00:55:44,319 --> 00:55:52,880
I don't really have it, but I just have
a question for um code enforcement and

538
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:59,760
how we uh proceed in doing our business
here in the community. I know it's about

539
00:55:54,960 --> 00:56:04,400
community policing and my ask is that um
we are considerate of business owners

540
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:09,760
doing business here in the town of
Edenville and how we conduct ourselves.

541
00:56:07,839 --> 00:56:18,319
I did speak to chief and I have talked
to CEO but um I just want to I hope that

542
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:22,480
we're able to
do better business when it comes to

543
00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:27,760
dealing with our business owners in the
town of Beatville. That's just my

544
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:35,640
comment as chief and I would like to set
up an appointment a meeting with um you

545
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:35,640
all at some point please. Thank you.

546
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:42,119
Thanks. Thank you.
>> Go ahead, Miss

547
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:51,040
» Um, good evening, mayor, council, and um
community residents. The clerk's

548
00:56:49,119 --> 00:56:57,520
updates. I'm going to start with the
Ruth and Winnie Mouse scholarship

549
00:56:53,119 --> 00:57:03,359
program updates. Um we have a total of
six submissions that were submitted by

550
00:57:00,559 --> 00:57:09,200
the July 31st deadline, which is
currently in the preliminary review.

551
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:13,839
process. The next step is for the review
committee to review and give final

552
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:21,119
recommendations.
Our goal is to make all presentations at

553
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:25,359
the next council
meeting.

554
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:33,280
I want to give you the names of those
who have submitted. We have five high

555
00:57:29,119 --> 00:57:38,319
school um candidates. We have Zakaria,
Edy,

556
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:43,119
Brian Porter,
Jamari Brown,

557
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:47,040
Soul Williams,
Kuran

558
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:54,960
Victor, and I hope I pronounced their
names. We have one returning

559
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:59,359
um candidate is Railen Daniels who have
completed her first year college. So,

560
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:06,160
she will be going into her sophomore
year. So, we have a total of six um

561
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:12,720
applicants. After we complete the final
review, we will determine if any or all

562
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:20,400
of them have met all of the requirements
and uh will be considered recipients.

563
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:28,240
Do anybody have any questions about the
Bruce and Winnie Mouse scholarship?

564
00:58:23,839 --> 00:58:33,599
there is $5,000 that will be um awarded
and depending on those who meet all the

565
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:39,920
eligibility and requirements, we will
divide that up between those um

566
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:43,760
recipients. Okay. Any other
administrative costs will come out of

567
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:50,559
promotions.
For example, we always um presented with

568
00:58:47,359 --> 00:58:55,760
a presentation check and then we wanted
to give the pictures with the frame um

569
00:58:53,200 --> 00:59:00,160
that was donated as an artist, but there
is some administrative cost um to get

570
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:06,799
the framing and get that prepared for
them, but that would not be taken from

571
00:59:02,079 --> 00:59:11,599
the 5,000 um dollars. Okay. Um, other
updates in the clerk's office, uh, we

572
00:59:09,359 --> 00:59:18,000
are working on the upgrade of the
chambers's microphone system and, um, I

573
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:22,720
hope tonight is an indication that we do
need a lot of upgrades here at the

574
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:27,520
Denton Johnson Center. Um, not only with
the microphones, but with the acoustics

575
00:59:24,799 --> 00:59:32,960
and bringing them up in the technology.
So hopefully that will be a priority

576
00:59:29,599 --> 00:59:37,839
going into the new year. Um, as
supervisor of election here in the town

577
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:43,280
of Eatenville, we have come alongside
Orlando Orange County supervisor of

578
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:47,680
election assisting them with the early
voting and the election day that's

579
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:52,799
currently taking place now. So, if you
have not um voted,

580
00:59:50,559 --> 00:59:58,640
now's the time to um vote. We do have
our um chamber being um a precinct where

581
00:59:56,079 --> 01:00:04,960
you can get your voting done early.
Also, um the clerk office has submitted

582
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:13,200
and it is in preliminary review their
2026 2027 budget package. So, we're all

583
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:17,760
geared up for our upcoming
um budget workshops as well as budget

584
01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:24,079
hearings. In front of you, there is a
copy of the budget calendar um to give

585
01:00:22,079 --> 01:00:28,799
you um the dates for our upcoming
workshops as well as our hearings. That

586
01:00:26,559 --> 01:00:36,400
information has also been provided to
you by email and as well placed in your

587
01:00:32,799 --> 01:00:44,400
uh mailboxes. Also, our next project now
that we have pretty much completed our

588
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:49,200
um retention and uh record um
dispositions of our records. We are

589
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:53,760
going to the next project which is
creating policies and standards that

590
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:59,920
speak to the operations of the clerk
office which will be cross cross

591
01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:05,200
departmental pre procedures as well. So
those will be coming to the council in

592
01:01:02,079 --> 01:01:10,640
draft form for consideration and
approval u before the close out of this

593
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:16,240
year.
updates on our public records request as

594
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:21,280
a result of our technology next request
as well as bringing on Marissa who is

595
01:01:18,799 --> 01:01:28,640
the gatekeeper for the public record
process. We have currently 26 open

596
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:35,119
public record requests. Of those 26, 10
of them are overdue. Eight are pending

597
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:40,720
due to payment. one is pending EPA
review of bid sheets and there are three

598
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:46,319
that are coming up um that's due soon
and four newly open requests. So out of

599
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:53,599
all of our public records requests we
only have 26 that are open. That is a a

600
01:01:50,240 --> 01:02:00,400
dramatic change from having 72. Now
we're at 26. Um I think that completes

601
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:07,240
my updates. If you have any questions if
I can answer them at this time.

602
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,240
Do we have any questions for the

603
01:02:07,359 --> 01:02:13,400
Thank you Miss King?
>> Yes.

604
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:19,559
» Right. We are now ready for citizen
participation.

605
01:02:20,799 --> 01:02:26,599
We have Joyce Arby. If you can come to
the podium.

606
01:02:27,599 --> 01:02:33,200
Joyce Arby is yielding her time to Ryan
Novik.

607
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:36,440
You can come to the podium. You have
five minutes.

608
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:52,559
» Mayor members of the community. I guess
it kind of works out that I didn't speak

609
01:02:49,839 --> 01:02:58,559
downward to this microphone as read my
notes tonight. So, I want to speak on

610
01:02:54,880 --> 01:03:02,480
two items. Resolution 2026-41.
I absolutely support open government,

611
01:03:00,319 --> 01:03:07,359
but I'm going to ask the council read
section three of this resolution closely

612
01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:13,680
before voting. Its heading is
endorsement of SPLC lawsuit.

613
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:19,440
And it says that the town council
expresses its public support and legal

614
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:24,960
action initiated by the association
reserved for communities against the

615
01:03:22,319 --> 01:03:29,760
school board.
That's not stated.

616
01:03:27,599 --> 01:03:34,960
That is the town taking a sign in a case
that has not yet decided.

617
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:42,640
Two things follow
the same resolution pass to work

618
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:48,160
collaboratively with the family
and this council will eventually slick

619
01:03:45,039 --> 01:03:53,039
quite logistical goal and land use
applications for the Hford site. So my

620
01:03:50,319 --> 01:03:57,039
question is this. When the town has to
act as a neutral decision maker on this

621
01:03:55,039 --> 01:04:02,160
property later, does a formal
endorsement one party's lawsuit make

622
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:07,839
that harder to defend? On item number
five, resolution 2026-45

623
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:14,319
absolutely in favor of a heritage
tourism district. This is an amazing

624
01:04:10,319 --> 01:04:19,920
idea. Each bill should be a destination
but section 8 direct staff to prepare

625
01:04:16,799 --> 01:04:25,440
eight separate plans within 180 days
covering the sufficient data is not

626
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:30,480
applicable. No funding source no cost
estimates go through the patent.

627
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:36,559
Three of those eight already have
issued. 1997 in the redevelopment plan

628
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:41,599
called for a streetcape master point25
CR plan update is wave funding signage,

629
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:48,079
historic preservation and cultural
heritage tourism as program items.

630
01:04:45,359 --> 01:04:54,160
The four high. What would these new
plans contain that those documents don't

631
01:04:51,359 --> 01:04:59,359
always say?
isn't Atlanta or Montgomery and Atlanta

632
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:04,880
compared to sweet Auburn or the VJI
campus direct but what those places

633
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:11,280
share is an institutional anchor
connected to the rest of downtown by a

634
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:17,119
walkable interpretive infrastructure not
just markers but recent to walk from one

635
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:23,200
stop to the next section five is signage
gateways and public art what it doesn't

636
01:05:19,839 --> 01:05:27,839
identify is the anchor the uh binding
that those elements are supposed to

637
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:32,880
connect to the Humberford redevelopment
uh the Humberford redevelopment Dr.

638
01:05:30,319 --> 01:05:37,599
village charities has described is a
place that could serve that role which

639
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:43,599
is exactly on section five infra should
he plan to reach it not stand alone I'd

640
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:48,079
ask for two changes section eight first
conditional plans on a separate

641
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:54,079
appropriation so the council can vote on
money that as its own decisions second a

642
01:05:52,319 --> 01:05:58,319
safety procurement act the town's
purchasing policy order requires council

643
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:02,960
principle and competitive selection
above $25,000

644
01:06:00,079 --> 01:06:08,400
I'm asking that on item two, the council
consider submission three separately and

645
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:14,319
on item five that it adopt the district
with those amendments and plan the

646
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:17,480
connected infrastructure that sites.
Thank you.

647
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:28,119
» Um we have no more. That's the last one.
>> Right.

648
01:06:22,319 --> 01:06:28,119
We are now ready for councel discussion.

649
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:35,799
So after we finished
law,

650
01:06:47,599 --> 01:06:56,200
do we have any other questions or
discussions for TG Law as the applicant

651
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:56,200
for general counsel?

652
01:06:56,319 --> 01:07:04,079
I didn't really have any uh questions
with them. I really did appreciate their

653
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:08,799
presentation. Um but my ask and I don't
know if it's the proper time or not is

654
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:14,680
if we could send it back out for R&B. I
would like to see if we could possibly

655
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:14,680
get uh another applicant

656
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:22,000
and [clears throat] and I know we
talking about TG uh law right now.

657
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:27,359
asking my same request for the
magistrate just because we only have one

658
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:33,119
for each of those firms and I and I
think in uh

659
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:38,480
fairness if we could put the RP out and
see if we can get

660
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:45,839
you know another another firm or other
you know nothing against uh TG law that

661
01:07:42,319 --> 01:07:50,160
sounds like u the middle
>> you know I knew it was too much when I

662
01:07:47,359 --> 01:07:54,400
said that TG law but that That that is
my discussion that I'd like to have. If

663
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:57,920
anybody else have any thoughts in terms
of that from the council, but that's

664
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:03,520
that's my report.
>> Um on the back of Council Jordan for

665
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:08,000
comments, um Mr. Davis, can you talk
about the RFP process that we've

666
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:11,880
experienced
since we put these on?

667
01:08:14,079 --> 01:08:23,199
» So, mayor and council, um ask a
question. These RFPs will amount of

668
01:08:19,759 --> 01:08:31,799
time. Uh we did have other people that
was reviewing it but only

669
01:08:28,159 --> 01:08:31,799
two talk about magistr

670
01:08:32,319 --> 01:08:42,400
» with the magistrate as well as with top
council legal. You had the one firm each

671
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:48,880
that applied for um it went out through
um demand start. it went out uh other

672
01:08:46,319 --> 01:08:53,600
people were calling and you know they
were viewing it. I think we got a total

673
01:08:51,759 --> 01:08:56,839
of about five people that actually
viewed it.

674
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:04,319
» So about eight people viewed it but
these were the only individuals that

675
01:09:00,719 --> 01:09:08,880
actually applied to the RFP.
>> Okay. I'm a little confused to say the

676
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:11,839
magistrate but what about the legal
services? You're talking about both of

677
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:15,359
them.
>> We're talking about Yeah. So we can see

678
01:09:13,279 --> 01:09:19,839
how many people actually view it. But
for the legal services there was one

679
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:22,400
applicant. For the magic there was one
applicant.

680
01:09:21,359 --> 01:09:24,799
» He said they [clears throat] was on
demand side.

681
01:09:23,199 --> 01:09:29,600
» Demand side. That's what we use for our
procurement. That's um what we utilize

682
01:09:27,839 --> 01:09:36,080
to put our procurement.
>> Do we use any other or are we permitted

683
01:09:32,159 --> 01:09:40,159
as municipalities to utilize any other
advertising services?

684
01:09:38,319 --> 01:09:43,359
We
utilize our normal avenues that we have

685
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:47,120
been utilizing.
>> Nothing more. No more.

686
01:09:44,719 --> 01:09:51,040
» No. And then when it went out, so to
tell you when you put those out on

687
01:09:48,799 --> 01:09:57,440
demand star and all that, same way we do
anything else, you can select the

688
01:09:53,040 --> 01:10:02,640
groups. So this went out um if I recall
it was 45 to 60 log firms that

689
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:07,920
automatically receive this through
demand store. So you can go through and

690
01:10:05,440 --> 01:10:12,159
select the roof. So if it's building
homes, if it's legal services, it's

691
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:15,199
whatever it is, you can select a group
also that it'll automatically send to

692
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:23,199
them. So it ain't like they have to go
looking for it actually

693
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:28,320
to the mass and they're in the system.
>> What other systems are besides the

694
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:33,679
stuff? We don't have to use it because
we've always been using that. So what

695
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:39,679
what other systems that are available?
>> So we have been talking about C as well

696
01:10:36,719 --> 01:10:45,199
but our finance department open that's a
lot of miss

697
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:51,360
open gov so those are opportunities and
generally those people um are in the

698
01:10:49,199 --> 01:10:57,600
same group so if somebody set up a
demand most likely open go all of them

699
01:10:54,000 --> 01:11:02,679
they're receiving all of those
>> and also if they do post on their

700
01:10:59,679 --> 01:11:02,679
outside

701
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,560
and the grand

702
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:25,120
description in there like said it was a
lot of people look at it um just to say

703
01:11:20,239 --> 01:11:29,840
I hold that submit
>> I'm just going to have other

704
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:37,880
small aent
I could have had a chance to

705
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,880
just one

706
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:45,199
» of them at one time.
>> How many of them actually

707
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:49,159
coming back?
>> Just one.

708
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,159
» Yes, ma'am.

709
01:11:52,400 --> 01:12:00,320
» Do we have any other questions or
comments for you as the applicant for

710
01:11:57,440 --> 01:12:00,320
general

711
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,600
concern though

712
01:12:06,719 --> 01:12:16,199
this process statistic discussion
>> yes ma'am discussion

713
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:16,199
» okay um I don't know like I said

714
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:27,760
but my concern was whether or not other
council members have had an opportunity

715
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:33,520
to talk to the law pri
today.

716
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:40,080
Um they um I know I did on the 27th I
believe it was and um I guess this is

717
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:48,320
the selection person that actually
respond to the um the request to RFP. So

718
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:55,120
it doesn't give us much leverage
um to maybe to go out and seek another

719
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:58,880
round of to see who would be interested.
I I just don't know how that could work

720
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:03,679
right now.
>> So, council woman, um, everyone was

721
01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:10,080
afforded that opportunity.
>> So, as in talking with the current

722
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:14,800
council, attorney Jackson of procurement
staff went through their procurement

723
01:13:12,239 --> 01:13:18,719
process first and then we released it to
you all afterwards and that was only

724
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:22,800
because of conence and all those things
to keep it fair and then you all were

725
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:31,800
notified that you all could talk with
them and that was at your size.

726
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:31,800
» Thank you for the verifying that.

727
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:36,719
» All right. No other questions or
comments being heard. We can move on.

728
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:43,920
I'm sorry.
>> No, you don't want discussion on master.

729
01:13:39,679 --> 01:13:49,520
» Yeah, we move on to discussion master.
>> That was the same thing for me in terms

730
01:13:45,679 --> 01:13:57,040
of the manage as well. uh to if we could
uh send the RP back out again and see if

731
01:13:53,120 --> 01:14:01,120
we get any other hits on it. Um that is
you know that's that is my ask and I

732
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:05,880
don't know if I make a motion right now
during this time but maybe council

733
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:15,040
» would you still like to hear from the
one

734
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:20,159
now or it's up to you all you all are
the decision makers

735
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:25,840
» I think we should
opportunity we were going to do it in

736
01:14:22,159 --> 01:14:29,320
workshop anyway so we can open it up Um,
attorney Jackson.

737
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:46,239
» My name is Greg
served as

738
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:51,960
for approximately 14 years. also had the
state of service

739
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,960
attorney

740
01:14:54,640 --> 01:15:05,920
took me back to uh 2013. Uh 2013 is when
I first uh came to the town of I always

741
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:11,199
heard about Tomville graduated from
college.

742
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:17,679
Uh and when I came to Eatville, I came
at the invitation of then mayor Bruce

743
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:22,159
and Bruce M would had a an event where
he would walk every Monday and Wednesday

744
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:28,239
the streets of Beville and I had a
chance to meet people like

745
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:34,159
your current woman
actually met her alone who's not walking

746
01:15:31,679 --> 01:15:39,679
the streets of what that showed me
during that time when I walk this

747
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:46,320
community uh and specifically what were
some of the needs in this community uh

748
01:15:42,159 --> 01:15:51,920
and so the distinct opportunity in 2014,
actually in October 2014 when there was

749
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:57,920
a meeting for a CRA attorney and I
actually sat in the old hungry cafeteria

750
01:15:55,760 --> 01:16:02,960
uh where they had a council or a CRA
meeting that night. Uh and from the from

751
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:07,679
the diet uh the question was asked if
there was anyone that was able and

752
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:13,600
available to serve in that capacity. Uh
and from that night until sometime later

753
01:16:11,199 --> 01:16:18,960
I served in that capacity. In addition
to serving on the on the CRA board as

754
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:23,120
the general counsel, I've also been
involved in government for a number of

755
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:26,719
years. Uh started in law school actually
as a matter of fact when I worked at the

756
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:31,360
department of correction as well as
department of special regulations. Uh

757
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:36,320
from there I went to work with a law
firm where we did government contracts.

758
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:39,920
We also dealt with special issues such
as hospital districts representing

759
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:43,600
hospital districts things of that nature
and also represented individuals and

760
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:48,159
businesses as relates to code
enforcement issues that they came uh

761
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:53,040
into contact with in operating their
business. In addition to that, I also

762
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:57,600
have served on a number of municipal and
and multi-jurisdictional boards. One of

763
01:16:55,679 --> 01:17:01,440
which was Metro Plan Orlando. Uh the
other was the facilities boards for

764
01:16:59,679 --> 01:17:06,239
Orange County as well as the city of
Orlando. And most recently, I served on

765
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:09,920
the board of adjustments for Orange
County where I served as chair for two

766
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:14,159
out of the six years that I sat on that
board. while senator on that board and

767
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:18,719
they qualify
has the opportunity to work in

768
01:17:15,440 --> 01:17:24,080
conjunction with other department some
of which were uh code enforcement not

769
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:28,400
just for city for Atlanta but also for
Orange County and being able to look at

770
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:32,960
and to make determination based off of
what code states also what Florida

771
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:38,800
statute states as to the appropriate way
uh to assess issues or address issues as

772
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:43,760
it relates to code violations what's
code violation what's not code viol

773
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:48,719
and been able to go strictly by the law
in what he told compels me in terms of

774
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:52,960
what's allowed was appropriate. Uh and
so in looking at this position uh and

775
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:58,320
I've always said this uh to anyone that
has asked I've always been willing and

776
01:17:54,960 --> 01:18:03,120
willing and able to assist the time be
in any way possible. And one of the ways

777
01:18:00,239 --> 01:18:07,360
that I saw assist this fine community is
through the various um development

778
01:18:05,679 --> 01:18:13,679
that's going to be taking place in this
community. This community is going to be

779
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:18,000
consistent uh in a a process of dealing
with code enforcement issues, not just

780
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:22,719
violations, but code enforcement issues
where there is some consistency in how

781
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:26,080
rings are brought about and how
decisions are made about whether or not

782
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:30,320
there violations, not a violation. how
you deal with uh multi violations and

783
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:34,960
different things of that nature. at one
of the meetings during the department

784
01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:39,520
heading there was a report by course I
believe it was save approximately

785
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:44,719
$500,000 I haven't assessed the terms
fines but there hasn't been any uh any

786
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:50,560
collection of no revenues this year and
so I believe that working as a special

787
01:18:48,719 --> 01:18:55,120
would allow the opportunity to put a
better system or to put a system in

788
01:18:52,480 --> 01:19:01,360
place where those things can go through
uh appropriately uh and in a manner that

789
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:07,800
will be b to the students because again
development is coming and you don't want

790
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:07,800
to treat a reser

791
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:15,120
just recently as the mayor was also
saying what if our business uh property

792
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:20,400
rights and those are things you have to
understand those things and as you all

793
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:27,920
know having
some I strictly I go out tell me I go

794
01:19:25,199 --> 01:19:32,000
out what the tells me uh and being able
to provide

795
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:38,159
recommendations for decisions that
should not have issues with standing

796
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:43,560
law.
So, um if you have any questions for me,

797
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:50,280
» do we have any questions for Jackson?

798
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:58,920
» I would like to say thank you for your
service.

799
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,920
» Thank you, ma'am.

800
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:08,640
All right, we are now ready for council
vision. Um, we will go in order.

801
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:13,920
Actually, I apologize. We did move the
consent agenda item down. It's okay with

802
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:17,760
you all. I will add that to the top and
we will go in chronological order with

803
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:23,719
first being the approval of resolution
2026-44.

804
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,719
Miss K.

805
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:45,199
Resolution number 2026-44,
a resolution of the town council of the

806
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:50,239
town of Eatenville, Florida, approving
partnership with the beautiful gate

807
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:54,080
cancer support and resource center for
the annual

808
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:58,679
event providing for conflict
acceptability and an effective date.

809
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:06,880
» Was there a motion
second

810
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:15,600
questions? Um my only question is for
CEO Daniels. Um based off the way the uh

811
01:21:11,199 --> 01:21:19,640
resolution it is asking for is it annual
support or annual collaboration?

812
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:27,040
And then I know that this was councilman
Randolph's so can maybe you're the

813
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:30,880
better person to ask. busy for annual
fiscal support because I know that

814
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:33,880
request
is

815
01:21:37,679 --> 01:21:41,880
anyone health

816
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:59,360
the big company they travel to
last year was the first year that

817
01:21:56,320 --> 01:22:04,639
actually was involved. It was really
success. We had about 33.

818
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:07,639
Um we had more than about 40 that were
actually

819
01:22:09,679 --> 01:22:21,040
people that actually
was very successful. So

820
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:27,040
the health care organization
on their list is annual

821
01:22:24,480 --> 01:22:30,760
continuation. So whether or not I'm here
or someone here

822
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:44,320
and they chose the day
last year, September 12th. So um these

823
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:49,280
funds for this event um actually um is
from the wood foundation.

824
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:53,600
» Yes, correct.
>> Yes,

825
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:56,600
» that's some of my question actually.
Yes.

826
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:19,360
be a nice designation for this type of
commission. So we also

827
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:24,880
position so that
I wanted to add to that um if it's okay

828
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:30,159
to announce Councilwoman Randolph is
herself a survivor and represents a

829
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:35,760
group of constituents in our town that
have fought. um some we've lost and some

830
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:40,719
we still have to the breast cancer
fight. So, it's an amazing initiative

831
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:44,880
and what looks to be an amazing
partnership. I know that the Robert Wood

832
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:48,560
Foundation was the line item that we
were using this time, but the reason

833
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:53,040
that I brought that up is because I want
us to be intentional. like you said,

834
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:56,880
it's not a council person thing as much
as it is an eatville thing, especially

835
01:23:55,600 --> 01:24:01,120
when we think about some of the other
contributing factors like level of

836
01:23:59,199 --> 01:24:06,960
health care that we receive as
African-Americans or underserved

837
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:10,320
communities. So, it is very um it's very
important, it's intentional, and it's

838
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:15,520
strategic to make sure that we
prioritize health and wellness in

839
01:24:12,159 --> 01:24:21,520
Eatenville. um I don't want it to be put
to the wayside because of funding for a

840
01:24:18,719 --> 01:24:26,320
temporary program. So what I would like
in support in in addition to the support

841
01:24:24,159 --> 01:24:31,840
for tonight's resolution is for us to be
mindful especially walking into budget

842
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:35,360
about how we can prioritize events like
this so that something that is as

843
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:41,920
temporary as the Robert Bullet
Foundation award does not stop us from

844
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:46,159
moving forward. So just so you know, I
do support um but I do want us to be

845
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:50,800
mindful. I know that there are a number
of um initiatives that are being

846
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:56,320
proposed to the town and so we want to
be fiscally responsible and um we want

847
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:59,280
to be intentional. So um those are the
only questions and comments I had. Are

848
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:02,760
there any other questions before we move
on to the vote?

849
01:25:03,199 --> 01:25:12,440
I would like to reread the preamble to
ensure that it provides that language

850
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:12,440
that was clarified

851
01:25:14,719 --> 01:25:23,520
and I believe attorney I can read it
without them doing another motion. Okay.

852
01:25:19,679 --> 01:25:28,400
All right. Resolution number 2026-44
resolution of the town council of the

853
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:33,679
town of Eatenville, Florida approving
approving partnership with the beautiful

854
01:25:31,199 --> 01:25:39,840
gate cancer support and resource center
for the annual mass breast health

855
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:44,880
screening event provided for conflict
severability and an effective date.

856
01:25:42,719 --> 01:25:47,679
» Thank you for the clarity. I saw a few
words in mind but I think I I caught the

857
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,840
gist of it.
>> Yep.

858
01:25:48,159 --> 01:25:54,960
» All right. You have heard the motion.
It's been moved and second. All in favor

859
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:57,360
of the approval of resolution 2026-44,
please signify with I.

860
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:04,639
» I.
>> All oppose. Motion passes.

861
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:13,719
We are now ready for
the approval of resolution 2026-41.

862
01:26:10,159 --> 01:26:13,719
This came with three.

863
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:23,520
Resolution 2026-41,
a resolution of the town council of the

864
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:28,480
town of Edenville, Florida, for clarity
affirming the town's commitment to

865
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:34,320
government, transparency, and expressing
support for the legal action taken to

866
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:39,199
enforce adherence to the Florida
Sunshine Law and protect the historic

867
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:44,800
hunger for property, providing for
conflict, for severability, and provided

868
01:26:42,719 --> 01:26:48,760
for an effective
Thank you, Miss King. You percept

869
01:26:56,480 --> 01:27:04,920
second. Do we have any questions or
discussion?

870
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:04,920
Hearing nobody or comments.

871
01:27:05,440 --> 01:27:13,520
It's just this is just to support
um and I think this this has been on the

872
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:22,480
agenda several times.
uh just in support of the organization

873
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:22,480
and in their fight for the lawsuit.

874
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:29,280
Yeah, I stay
>> I'm stay

875
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:36,400
» and if I'm I think I I'm stating that
I've heard it five times

876
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:41,840
» and then this portion will be um as I
stated before and I know we went ahead

877
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:45,199
and um move for approval whether it goes
up or down but I would like to also

878
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:49,040
table
before

879
01:27:46,719 --> 01:27:54,239
that way
um

880
01:27:50,880 --> 01:28:02,320
you won't get anywhere.
So I would like to um motion table

881
01:27:58,480 --> 01:28:07,520
versus voted up or down.
That's my stats.

882
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:12,639
Um I acknowledge the request council
man. I'm going to grab the rest of the

883
01:28:10,159 --> 01:28:19,440
comments and then we can address Jackson
on moving forward. Council Ren, thank

884
01:28:16,159 --> 01:28:28,000
you very much. All right. Um
This is probably time we have brought us

885
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:34,480
to the um table for the legislation on
this council members.

886
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:42,719
Um last meeting that we had two weeks
ago. Um we went through the language and

887
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:50,719
according to
information from mayor that you have

888
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:57,920
provided for some of the problems. So
those problems out so back

889
01:28:55,920 --> 01:29:03,920
again
still was a problem. So everything you

890
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:10,719
have mentioned
students some some language some of

891
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:18,440
those word Indian lines have been
eliminated from this. So um I do want to

892
01:29:15,199 --> 01:29:18,440
say that

893
01:29:18,639 --> 01:29:28,400
however um based upon what we see here
there has been some other

894
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:35,280
um decisions that were made that's based
upon revolutionary will be today. Um,

895
01:29:32,719 --> 01:29:44,440
I'm not too sure if you may be aware of
the uh the case today if I can insert

896
01:29:39,199 --> 01:29:44,440
that so that we have a better understand

897
01:29:55,040 --> 01:30:00,880
law center
attorney today late today.

898
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:10,760
There was a question about hearing
earlier.

899
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:26,760
» So attorney

900
01:30:28,639 --> 01:30:34,000
So, Councilman M, she was saying that
she attended the hearing this morning

901
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:37,760
and she feels like the information that
she received late this afternoon might

902
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:43,360
provide additional insight to help us
make a decision.

903
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:46,800
» She before we before we move to Attorney
Jackson, let us um hear the rest of the

904
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:53,040
council.
>> Okay.

905
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:58,560
» And if it is appropriate through um we
can address that.

906
01:30:55,199 --> 01:31:03,679
So, there still requests to take. So I I
will agree with council me because if

907
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:08,159
that's the hearing and you got it late
and he has to review it to tell us he

908
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:14,480
can tell us at the next meeting is what
if you want to bring this back because

909
01:31:11,199 --> 01:31:19,440
it whatever the attorney say bring up
questions that we still may have

910
01:31:16,159 --> 01:31:26,239
concerns about. So I will agree to table
it and bring it back versus

911
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:31,199
So I I I understand you attend the
hearing. So let the attorney do it. Give

912
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:36,880
us a copy of that as well so we can
review it as well. But to try to say

913
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:40,560
attorney, you read it and you explain it
to to us. I don't want you to explain

914
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:44,560
anything to me. I want to read it for
myself and then let me get my

915
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:49,600
understanding and then the attorney can
bring back his interpretation.

916
01:31:46,719 --> 01:31:57,280
» Well, I I I object to that.
I have the attorney to to

917
01:31:53,280 --> 01:32:02,880
get a copy of it bring it back next time
questions but this changes to this

918
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:08,000
particular resolution this happened it's
very important that people here know

919
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:14,239
exactly what happened
here let me sneak in before you come

920
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:19,840
back um so
again the ability to

921
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:25,280
adequately assess a situation is
imperative to making responsible

922
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:30,080
decisions. Um, and again, I did read the
amendments to the resolution, they do

923
01:32:28,639 --> 01:32:36,400
not address the issues that I brought
up. The issues that I brought up where

924
01:32:32,719 --> 01:32:40,880
about the wording and um, after hearing
comments in this section tonight,

925
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:45,520
there's still confusion about exactly
what this what this resolution

926
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:51,760
represents. I'm hearing that it's a fact
that this repres resolution does in fact

927
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:56,480
support a party in that zoo. Um I know
last council meeting

928
01:32:54,239 --> 01:33:02,159
my statements were centered around the
lack of a need for a resolution. If it

929
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:07,679
is in fact about or if the context or
the subject matter of the resolution is

930
01:33:04,159 --> 01:33:12,719
support for Florida sunshine law. There
is in in my opinion, my comments were

931
01:33:10,239 --> 01:33:18,639
about the fact that as elected officials
who took an oath that includes the

932
01:33:16,239 --> 01:33:24,639
compliance with Florida Sunshine law, it
is almost redundant or unnecessary to

933
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:31,199
sign a resolution that will either
assist or hurt any party in any lawsuit

934
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:38,400
that we are not a party in. So, for
example, in the last whereas before the

935
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:43,920
resolution, term support is in there and
you doubt find it necessary to advocate.

936
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:47,679
Um, I mean,
it's sitting up here doesn't say that we

937
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:53,199
support Florida sunshine. I don't know
what does down in section two under

938
01:33:50,719 --> 01:33:57,440
support for government transparency. I
see that it was crossed out for the full

939
01:33:54,800 --> 01:34:01,280
moral and political support. Um, and I
see that the support for the enforcement

940
01:33:59,440 --> 01:34:05,199
of Florida sunshine and their
reaffirming dedication to the

941
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:09,760
principles. Again, for me, not
necessary. Sitting up here should tell

942
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:14,000
everybody I shouldn't have to have a
document in any one situation because if

943
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:18,639
that's the case, then I need to go
through every lawsuit that is addressing

944
01:34:16,719 --> 01:34:23,600
Florida Sunshine and submit a resolution
that says that I support government

945
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:28,719
transparency. It wasn't necessary. Then
down in section three, again just the

946
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:34,400
titling of the section was problematic
for me. The endorsement of the lawsuit

947
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:40,159
of the STLC lawsuit because it specifies
STLC and again the public support

948
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:45,080
initiated by the association to preserve
the bill community against the school

949
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:45,080
board.

950
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:52,480
It's still public support. It's still us
taking a side. Even if you say, "Hey, we

951
01:34:50,639 --> 01:34:59,360
support governmental transparency.
people will stand on that side. Um,

952
01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:04,159
so I know that there was the attempt to
try to um bring ease to my mind and I

953
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:10,320
appreciate the attempts and the efforts,
but my sentiment, my comments remain the

954
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:13,920
same. The lack of a resolution of that
situation

955
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:18,960
and us getting in the middle of it in
any capacity other than the

956
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:23,199
administration of business um is
irresponsible to me. So while the

957
01:35:21,199 --> 01:35:27,760
resolution was amended, it does not
address the issues that I have. I still

958
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:34,480
have issues. And then after hearing the
facts for tonight, it sounds like this

959
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:38,800
is in support of PEC. And again, no one
party if if if PEC turns out to not be

960
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:44,400
able to make their case. I mean, what
are we saying as a community? Um so that

961
01:35:41,199 --> 01:35:48,480
was me. Additionally, um, with the new
information that you're providing to us

962
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:53,520
tonight, I also support tableabling this
this item if it means that additional

963
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:58,320
information will allow us to make more
educated decision. We talk all the time

964
01:35:56,000 --> 01:36:04,719
about walk-on items and how we don't
have an opportunity to review all or

965
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:09,040
relevant information. This is that 101.
That's all comments that I have. Vice

966
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:12,159
Mayor Oh, I'm sorry. I did acknowledge
Council Matthew and Vice Mayor Thomas.

967
01:36:10,719 --> 01:36:17,600
Yes, I'm kind of piggybacking on what
you said. U I think we definitely need

968
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:21,920
to make good changes up there. I know if
anybody don't feel good about a lot of

969
01:36:19,679 --> 01:36:27,120
things that have came down the pipeline,
it's definitely me. But I'm willing to

970
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:32,800
um look at a lot of different factors
that have played a major part in turning

971
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:37,760
that new leaf for. So um I think we do
need to make great educated decisions

972
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:43,440
before moving forward with um just
making decisions. And I can tell you for

973
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:49,199
sure, Councilwoman Lov, I brought items
back several times

974
01:36:46,239 --> 01:36:53,600
several and pretty sure everybody can
attest to that. Um, but I think with

975
01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:58,719
this particular item right here, it's
just um being so sensitive and

976
01:36:56,320 --> 01:37:06,320
everything that's, you know, having to
do with it. And I kind of um definitely

977
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:10,159
um relate what may just stated with us,
you know, not want to seem like we're

978
01:37:08,159 --> 01:37:13,040
taking sides because I think if we
continue building great relationships

979
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:18,080
with people that we're going to
potentially be working with um in the

980
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:22,800
future anyway regardless if that's you
know um

981
01:37:20,639 --> 01:37:26,639
yes,
um I don't feel good about a lot of

982
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:31,119
things that have taken,
like I stated before in our last meeting

983
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:35,280
before we move forward with making a
decision when I asked to take this item

984
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:41,360
also and I know we got some moving
reports on whatever it is that had taken

985
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:46,960
place today during a hearing. Um I I'm
I'm not aware of that. So, I definitely

986
01:37:44,159 --> 01:37:52,800
would consider listening to what the
attorneys judge said, but I would

987
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:57,920
definitely um like to also be more me
and to, you know, make my own decision

988
01:37:55,280 --> 01:38:02,080
on how I want to move forward with make
any decision up here. And my decision

989
01:38:00,159 --> 01:38:06,880
right now is to take this. I think
that'll be the best educated decision to

990
01:38:04,159 --> 01:38:10,719
do versus sitting here going off a cuff
and just holding up her down. I think

991
01:38:08,639 --> 01:38:15,280
that's clearly irresponsible if you ask
me personally. And I don't want this

992
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:21,679
item to come back before us
um in a way that it has tonight because

993
01:38:19,440 --> 01:38:26,560
I think this is this is like fifth
fourth or fifth time and I'm not

994
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:32,480
knocking that because I have bought it.
Um they got through because you know I'm

995
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:37,520
very persistent just like you are. So I
get the legality of how you're going

996
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:44,880
about doing it. But I think if you can
for the sake of um just getting us up

997
01:38:42,159 --> 01:38:48,719
the bar on what we need to be educated
on in terms of what happened today,

998
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:54,719
let's tie it. Let's let's go ahead and t
this item. That would be my suggestion.

999
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:59,199
Um I'm only going to vote, but um it's
your decision, but I think it would

1000
01:38:56,560 --> 01:39:02,560
probably be in our best interest for the
sake of everything that's taking place

1001
01:39:00,719 --> 01:39:07,119
to take this item and then come back and
address it. There is that need to

1002
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:09,920
address. That's my take on that's my
status.

1003
01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:13,840
» All right. Thank you, Councilman Mack,
for that. There's a motion on the floor.

1004
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:16,320
So, what are we going to do? That's my
>> That's a question.

1005
01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:19,600
» That's not a question. That's a
statement. That's a motion on the floor.

1006
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:24,320
We're going to vote it up, vote it down,
or we're going to withdraw. Let's just

1007
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:27,920
move it on because we've already had
conversations and we're going to keep

1008
01:39:26,239 --> 01:39:31,840
going back and forth. So, what are we
going to do with this motion? There was

1009
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:39,119
a request to table that would require an
extension of the second and motion

1010
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:42,480
» resend my second if we're going looking
at table

1011
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:46,679
first.
>> It was moved by council

1012
01:39:46,719 --> 01:39:52,920
» to to move the request to table in order
to do so.

1013
01:39:55,600 --> 01:40:00,320
» Right.
You have to resend your motion in order

1014
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:02,639
for us to table.
>> Second.

1015
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:07,520
» Okay. So, the second has been rescended
as well as the motion. We will now

1016
01:40:04,480 --> 01:40:11,560
entertain a motion to table this item
being resolution 2026-41.

1017
01:40:12,159 --> 01:40:17,440
» So, move
is moved and second. All in favor of the

1018
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:24,679
tableabling of resolution of the
approval of resolution 2026-41, please

1019
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:24,679
say. I I

1020
01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:31,440
table.
That's what it's titled. Approval of

1021
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:35,239
resolution. I said the motion to table
the approval of resolution.

1022
01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:41,844
Let me let me
[laughter]

1023
01:40:42,480 --> 01:40:50,400
entertain a motion
to table the approval of resolution

1024
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:57,040
2026-41
mo. This is the motion to table the

1025
01:40:53,119 --> 01:41:01,600
approval as written in the agenda. Is
there a motion to move? Second. It is

1026
01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:09,199
moved in second. All in favor, please
signify with I. All oppose.

1027
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:15,760
» Roll call, please. Is it just?
>> All right. So, vote table of we are now

1028
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:22,159
ready. We all ready? I I do have a
question, but at what time will we hear

1029
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:25,159
from attorney Jackson or get some
question?

1030
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:35,000
» Can I get a quick update, please?
>> Yes, ma'am. So today with regards to the

1031
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:35,000
motion by student

1032
01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:50,320
whether or not
conversations

1033
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:56,000
the school board and other other
individuals uh the judge in essence

1034
01:41:52,960 --> 01:42:02,159
denied the motion. So basically all
three counts which included the aspect

1035
01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:06,000
of the program compensations were um
were dis

1036
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:11,119
were denied by the court. So that means
that the lawsuit can continue to report

1037
01:42:08,639 --> 01:42:16,480
just so that this board knows if I was
looking at trial order

1038
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:21,199
trial in this case set for October 11th
of

1039
01:42:18,159 --> 01:42:26,840
um I don't know uh what's going to
happen in terms of any taken

1040
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:42,080
faces that are
Most times do not go until the court is

1041
01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:48,600
back until a year or so later. So
there's a very possibility unless

1042
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:48,600
there's some motion to expl2.

1043
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:10,000
So the course is 2022 cases first. So
the point I'm making is that 2025 case

1044
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:14,840
may be roll until sometime the future
when that is I don't know whe

1045
01:43:18,480 --> 01:43:21,639
» thank you.

1046
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:30,360
» All right we are now ready for
the approval of the request proposal.

1047
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:42,040
We have
involved

1048
01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:42,040
um administration. You want to before we

1049
01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:50,080
may council um
I just want to say it's imperative that

1050
01:43:47,440 --> 01:43:56,400
we know that legal is very important
right now. um not only for the aspects

1051
01:43:54,639 --> 01:44:02,880
of contracts and all that but we got a
lot of boards and everything on these

1052
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:07,679
are the boards we got infrastructure um
items that ready to come down pipeline

1053
01:44:05,119 --> 01:44:15,280
so it's a lot of contract a lot of items
so it's imperative that we have legal

1054
01:44:11,199 --> 01:44:21,760
set in place as well as um when it comes
down to the management we have cases

1055
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:26,960
that um coming up on timelines and as
you all know like 118 with

1056
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:31,280
we had to reset that because we missed
deadlines and we didn't go through the

1057
01:44:29,199 --> 01:44:36,280
proper thing. So it's imperative that we
understand that we should have legal

1058
01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:36,280
representation

1059
01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:46,960
» right there is a recommendation and a
request to approve however there was a

1060
01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:51,360
request earlier to resubmit. you want to
address that. Now,

1061
01:44:48,159 --> 01:44:56,960
» I would like to address the same thing
if we could uh either take the item or I

1062
01:44:54,560 --> 01:45:02,639
can make a motion to
uh to request to send the RFP back out

1063
01:44:59,920 --> 01:45:08,719
again uh to see if we get any other
takers. Uh

1064
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:15,679
yeah, that's the motion. That's my
motion. The motion is to resubmit the

1065
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:21,119
RFP for general counsel
or

1066
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:26,080
if I have a question. I mean, if if we
table it, can we table and still send it

1067
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:31,840
out for RFP or do we have to or do I
have to make a because my my motion what

1068
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:36,239
I would really like to see happen is to
send the RFP back out.

1069
01:45:35,440 --> 01:45:40,800
Attorney.
>> So please assist me with making this

1070
01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:43,800
question. Attorney Jackson.
>> Yes.

1071
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:58,600
signal
request

1072
01:46:00,719 --> 01:46:09,800
circumstances
that should be your motion on the table.

1073
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:09,800
What should be for?

1074
01:46:10,480 --> 01:46:24,280
So, I'd like to make a motion to
uh send the RFP back out uh for

1075
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:24,280
other legal count.

1076
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:34,880
It's been moved. Is there a second or
two? Are are you second?

1077
01:46:31,119 --> 01:46:38,119
» He can't. He just No.
Who moved

1078
01:46:39,199 --> 01:46:46,159
it? Right.
She motion. She made the motion.

1079
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:49,960
» Are you moving or move? You're moving.
No.

1080
01:46:46,480 --> 01:46:49,960
» Is there a second

1081
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:58,400
one?
D second. Did you want to make your your

1082
01:46:56,639 --> 01:47:03,280
comment before we
>> I'm going to actually concur with um

1083
01:47:00,639 --> 01:47:08,159
council woman Jordan because at the end
of the day, I think if we do put it back

1084
01:47:05,440 --> 01:47:14,960
out for us and we don't get any hits on
it,

1085
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:19,360
going to go with um the firm. Um but you
know, like I said, I do believe in

1086
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:25,119
fairness. I um
I'm the one that submitted an

1087
01:47:21,199 --> 01:47:32,400
application. We had 60 people that um
actually review said we had no hits on

1088
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:38,239
it. That's that's that's atrocious.
We got somebody that's willing to come

1089
01:47:34,159 --> 01:47:42,960
in our community and be safe to fit to
actually sitting that capacity in terms

1090
01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:47,040
of a legal perspective to do the job
that we need to do. And at the end of

1091
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:51,360
the day, if they're not doing job, then
we can get rid of them. But I would like

1092
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:54,239
to look at the contractual um issue of
it also. I don't know exactly how that

1093
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:59,920
looks, but I know according to the
charter, we highly fine at the end of

1094
01:47:57,119 --> 01:48:05,760
the day. So, I would definitely um
consider giving this firm an opportunity

1095
01:48:02,639 --> 01:48:11,440
to come in and do what we need because
we need some legal guidance right now

1096
01:48:08,239 --> 01:48:17,920
being that we haven't had one in some
well besides all the transactions doing

1097
01:48:13,440 --> 01:48:24,560
sensational but I know he referenced to
um doing the magistry but I I want to do

1098
01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:30,800
whatever the board want to do um if if
we could I know he spoke about not being

1099
01:48:27,040 --> 01:48:35,679
able to favorite item and the RP just
failed because of the lack of second.

1100
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:41,119
What do we do right now? You know what
I'm saying? Like cuz if we hold it down,

1101
01:48:39,280 --> 01:48:47,360
we're going to be right back in the same
position that we was in before where

1102
01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:53,280
Ashton has to do another RFP and this
could potentially be the same firm that

1103
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:58,239
put the RFP out and here we are again.
So it's like

1104
01:48:55,440 --> 01:49:01,639
what are we doing?
I thought I heard

1105
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:08,639
» Yeah, make it make sense to me because
that's my question.

1106
01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:14,960
» What I thought I heard Council say is
that she wanted to send it out for RFP.

1107
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:21,119
» Yes. I heard that you made a motion to
resend out, right? But then there was no

1108
01:49:19,119 --> 01:49:26,960
» way
made that she wanted to go back out.

1109
01:49:25,440 --> 01:49:37,119
So,
>> right. So, this puts us back in position

1110
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:43,040
to now put it back out to RFP because
it doesn't that motion that I'm talking

1111
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:47,040
about just in general. We got to put it
on RFP.

1112
01:49:44,480 --> 01:49:49,440
» Well, that's where you can accept what
you have.

1113
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:55,280
» Yeah. It's still on the table,
>> right? That's what I'm saying. So, like

1114
01:49:52,159 --> 01:50:00,000
I think sitting up here as leaders and
and decision making like we we're the

1115
01:49:57,520 --> 01:50:04,400
voice of the forceful right we're the
ones real estate owners we're the ones

1116
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:09,040
that's got to make the tough decision
not a tough decision they know what I'm

1117
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:15,280
saying it's not an easy thing but I
don't think this is a tough decision but

1118
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:22,560
I do respect my colleagues and want to
get more information if that makes sense

1119
01:50:19,199 --> 01:50:29,119
um that's why I move forward to table so
table is going to come back to us anyway

1120
01:50:25,440 --> 01:50:33,199
Right. Bush is here doing a RFP and it's
going to fail because of the second

1121
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:35,760
length of second with a particular item.
Guess what? If I miss council meeting,

1122
01:50:34,719 --> 01:50:41,280
they're going to be sitting right back
in the same spot. And if there's the

1123
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:46,719
one, no one else because the RP window
has closed, right? And I think this will

1124
01:50:44,480 --> 01:50:51,600
give us opportunity to really digest and
understand

1125
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:58,400
and um the position that we're standing
in in terms of getting legal and seeking

1126
01:50:54,880 --> 01:51:01,760
legal um counsel that we need for this
town.

1127
01:51:00,159 --> 01:51:08,800
What are we positioning ourselves to do
right now? Right. If it fail because of

1128
01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:13,280
a lack of second to do
So if I sit here and say let's table the

1129
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:17,520
item, this same firm is going to be
right back before hopefully they're back

1130
01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:21,520
for us during our next council meeting
because if they're not, they're going to

1131
01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:28,639
be right back at the door of trying to
find some money to potentially serve in

1132
01:51:25,199 --> 01:51:33,520
this capacity which you will be attorney
because you've been sitting there some

1133
01:51:30,239 --> 01:51:39,679
months now. Um,
I'm I'm just somewhat public on on on

1134
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:43,679
the position that we're in right now and
I'm trying to wrap my head around it

1135
01:51:41,360 --> 01:51:50,800
also and trying to make educated
decisions on how we can move forward

1136
01:51:46,480 --> 01:51:55,280
because it's only one firm that's
that's committed themselves canelves

1137
01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:59,440
this time. So, like I said, whatever you
guys want to do, um, you know, let's

1138
01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:02,639
let's make, you know, good decisions
over here.

1139
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:13,320
I have a question.

1140
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:24,800
» No, for clarity want to make sure that's
so the motion was by Councilwoman Jordan

1141
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:27,840
to put it back on RP.
>> Yes.

1142
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:32,599
» Yes.
because

1143
01:52:29,440 --> 01:52:32,599
I moved

1144
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:36,840
it.

1145
01:52:38,080 --> 01:52:45,280
So
thought he

1146
01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:53,679
think that council member second.
>> Yes. So that that's what council backed

1147
01:52:49,840 --> 01:52:59,760
your motion but you thought that you
motion that you stated you actually

1148
01:52:56,320 --> 01:53:05,679
motion to based on what you said then
someone has to second that motion but no

1149
01:53:01,948 --> 01:53:08,679
[clears throat] one seconded that motion
in

1150
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:12,960
so that means this motion is still after
the initial

1151
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:19,040
» right
>> but you're not the right The approval

1152
01:53:17,119 --> 01:53:20,560
the approval of the RP.
>> Correct.

1153
01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:23,560
» That's how you ask.
>> Yes.

1154
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:33,520
» If I go too far, bring me back.
>> That's correct.

1155
01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:37,920
» There is a potential conflict and a
potential void if we move on one item

1156
01:53:36,239 --> 01:53:40,920
and not the other tonight. Is that
correct?

1157
01:53:41,440 --> 01:53:44,840
This confidence

1158
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:48,440
you have right now

1159
01:53:49,199 --> 01:53:57,080
that motion cannot brought back up. Your
question is it cannot

1160
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:57,080
subsequ

1161
01:54:19,040 --> 01:54:29,040
if if I'm number three Under council
decisions, the the approval of the RFP

1162
01:54:24,560 --> 01:54:35,080
by TG law is not approved.
>> And item number four

1163
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:35,080
» is a

1164
01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:40,159
table.
>> It's still a conflict.

1165
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:46,320
» So I understand the desire to table.
However, the desire to table does not

1166
01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:50,239
alleviate the potential conflict
>> because we will be without general

1167
01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:57,560
counsel again. potentially we have the
potential to be without general counsel

1168
01:54:52,639 --> 01:54:57,560
in one of these two items that's passed.

1169
01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:02,119
I am notice

1170
01:55:07,760 --> 01:55:14,480
if
because

1171
01:55:12,239 --> 01:55:18,159
then we still have the opportunity to
vote

1172
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:22,960
» because she didn't make so why we going
back and forth because

1173
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:26,800
» because the request was to table and or
to resubmit the RFP both of which are

1174
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:30,960
completely valid. However, they have
consequences. So, I want

1175
01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:35,280
» So, before we make another decision, I
want us to be aware of any adverse

1176
01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:40,239
action that could happen as a result of
passing one, passing both, passing none,

1177
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:44,159
and what holes that still leaves open.
We have code enforcement concerns. We

1178
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:47,920
have legal counsel concerns. So, if one
of those is filled, we leave a gap

1179
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:51,360
somewhere else. So, I just want to make
sure that we're aware.

1180
01:55:49,599 --> 01:55:56,800
» I understand what she said. So, let's
stop speaking around. So if we pass for

1181
01:55:54,239 --> 01:56:01,520
attorney Jackson to be mag, we don't
have counsel. So you get to choose an

1182
01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:05,920
attorney. So let's vote. So if they say
no, then you you choose the attorney. If

1183
01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:14,560
we vote yes for them, then they are our
attorney. So either way go

1184
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:19,199
» I I think the discussion back and forth
and I'm going to say my opinion is the

1185
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:24,800
biggest waste of time. Let's vote and
let's make it happen or not happen. if

1186
01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:28,400
he's if he's voting for me. Oh, well,
guess what? You get to choose the

1187
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:32,239
attorney this time. And then he goes
back out for RFP. If they don't like it

1188
01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:37,040
again, then you get to choose the
attorney again. So, let's vote it. Let's

1189
01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:43,040
stop talking about it and discussing
about simple things that can be if we

1190
01:56:40,159 --> 01:56:48,480
are supposed to do what's best for the
town of Ed according to the you took and

1191
01:56:45,760 --> 01:56:52,239
you raised your hand and you sworn that.
What seems so hard about making a

1192
01:56:50,639 --> 01:56:57,920
decision?
That is my issue.

1193
01:56:54,880 --> 01:57:03,679
And if if it's a personal thing, go talk
to your counselor. But you you got you

1194
01:57:00,719 --> 01:57:07,840
told God and that Bible and us that you
was going to do what's best for the town

1195
01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:12,239
bill. So let's do a motion and let's
vote. Let's stop playing around and

1196
01:57:10,239 --> 01:57:18,000
let's get it done. If you don't want us
to have council, that's your problem.

1197
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:24,239
Then we will put it back out for RP. But
this back and forth talking talking jaw

1198
01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:28,480
jabing getting nothing done nothing said
let's make a vote

1199
01:57:26,719 --> 01:57:32,400
let's let's just move and let's just get
it done

1200
01:57:30,080 --> 01:57:35,400
» I I understand what you're trying to
notate

1201
01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:44,639
my suggestion would be to table the man
and that way he'll still be the attorney

1202
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:51,679
temporarily
on the injury until he can say, "Okay,

1203
01:57:49,119 --> 01:57:55,199
because at the end of the day, it failed
because of nothing left, but they're

1204
01:57:53,199 --> 01:58:00,000
still on the agenda, right? We still got
to put an RP on it, which doesn't make

1205
01:57:57,360 --> 01:58:03,119
no sense to me, but we got to do what we
got to do. We already have an attorney.

1206
01:58:01,599 --> 01:58:08,159
It's not like we don't have an attorney
at this present time." Okay? And I know

1207
01:58:06,639 --> 01:58:12,239
a lot of people don't like to talk up
here, but that's what your job is. Sit

1208
01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:12,239
up here.

1209
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:25,760
All right. All right. All right. And
according to the

1210
01:58:23,679 --> 01:58:29,840
» If I can say this,
>> you got you got the right to get up and

1211
01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:32,639
lead a meeting if that's what she
>> just like.

1212
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:36,880
» But I don't want to leave.
>> I don't So let's vote.

1213
01:58:34,960 --> 01:58:41,520
» And you can't force anybody to vote on
what they don't vote on either. the

1214
01:58:38,639 --> 01:58:46,320
right just like you did.
>> Attorney Jackson.

1215
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:51,679
I just I'm just thinking that right now
and the fact of the matter is that we're

1216
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:59,040
making very bad decisions up here.
>> I agree with that. Go ahead.

1217
01:58:55,760 --> 01:59:02,040
So, so the only
two

1218
01:59:03,599 --> 01:59:13,520
issue is
to land to vote to table. The option

1219
01:59:11,040 --> 01:59:20,280
that you have for the special is to
either vote to table to approve it or

1220
01:59:17,280 --> 01:59:20,280
vote.

1221
01:59:31,119 --> 01:59:41,199
If that fail, you cannot bring that
motion back up until it's

1222
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:46,560
so you have right now
is to vote to table or vote to accept.

1223
01:59:44,800 --> 01:59:55,760
Three options that you have for the
special is to vote to accept, vote to

1224
01:59:52,080 --> 02:00:01,440
Jacksonville send out RP.
>> My my option would be to take both

1225
01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:05,760
that way to be right back where we
started at the drawing group, right? And

1226
02:00:03,440 --> 02:00:10,480
that give us an opportunity to uh
perhaps even speak to each individual

1227
02:00:09,040 --> 02:00:14,159
one on one because I haven't had an
opportunity to speak to them other than

1228
02:00:12,400 --> 02:00:19,360
going out into the audience because I
want to, you know, speak to them. But I

1229
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:23,199
think if we want to really get down to
really getting to know this firm, let's

1230
02:00:21,679 --> 02:00:27,840
let's meet with them individually,
right? And then we got another meeting

1231
02:00:25,199 --> 02:00:32,960
in two weeks and then we can make
ultimate decision on whether we want to

1232
02:00:29,599 --> 02:00:38,000
keep them or or don't keep them, right?
But I think for me personally, I I would

1233
02:00:35,679 --> 02:00:42,080
keep them. That's my opinion from what
I've got. Now, do I want to sit down and

1234
02:00:40,560 --> 02:00:45,360
continue speaking with them? Yes, of
course. because I know all of the data.

1235
02:00:43,920 --> 02:00:48,480
I know everything that's coming down the
pipeline. I've been dealing with so much

1236
02:00:46,639 --> 02:00:51,920
right now, right? And I've been sitting
up here going on 11 years and I'm

1237
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:56,719
telling you, I'm seeing a whole lot of
things that have occurred and happened

1238
02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:59,520
and making bad decisions that hurt the
town. And I don't want to put it to the

1239
02:00:58,159 --> 02:01:04,159
detriment on the spot because it was
already atrocious on what's going on

1240
02:01:01,199 --> 02:01:06,639
right now. You ask me first, you know,
and people don't want to hear what

1241
02:01:05,440 --> 02:01:10,239
people got to say because people don't
want to hear the truth. The truth of the

1242
02:01:08,639 --> 02:01:14,000
matter is that we need to make better
decisions up here. and the decision that

1243
02:01:12,080 --> 02:01:18,719
we're making up here and we can't sit up
here and keep bickering and moaning

1244
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:25,159
about it. I got to be up at 12:00
tonight to be to work at 1:00.

1245
02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:25,159
» Okay, good.

1246
02:01:26,320 --> 02:01:32,719
» Like I said though, we can have a
buster. Hey, we can sit in here all

1247
02:01:30,159 --> 02:01:34,880
night for a long, sir. And you got that
right to get up and leave out of here if

1248
02:01:34,239 --> 02:01:39,520
you want to.
>> And you do, too.

1249
02:01:37,679 --> 02:01:44,719
council
we get ready to vote. There is an item

1250
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:48,560

request for proposal submitted by TV law

1251
02:01:46,719 --> 02:01:52,239

02:01:50,159 --> 02:01:54,400

1256
02:02:13,599 --> 02:02:19,040
» All right, we are ready for the next
item on the agenda. It is the approval

1257

1259
02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:32,960
I will entertain a motion.
>> It has been moved. Is there a second?

1260
02:02:31,280 --> 02:02:37,920
» It has been moved and second. All in
favor of the appro of the approval of

1261
02:02:35,119 --> 02:02:42,960

02:02:41,199 --> 02:02:49,719
all oppose

1263
02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:49,719
» Madame Mayor

1264
02:02:50,000 --> 02:03:00,599
» for the for the record um Councilwoman
Jordan stepped out and was not a part of

1265
02:02:55,119 --> 02:03:00,599
that vote. So it passed

1266
02:03:01,119 --> 02:03:04,719
or
40,

1267
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:10,960
» right? But I wanted it to be on the
record that she said step out. Okay.

1268
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:14,920
» All right. We are ready for the approval
of resolution 2026-45

1269
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:22,040
Heritage District. This came the
preamble.

1270
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:37,320
Okay,

1271
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:49,560
Madame Mayor. Resolution

providing for conflict, providing for

02:04:24,480 --> 02:04:30,239

>> You have heard the preamble. Is there a

1280
02:04:28,159 --> 02:04:36,159
motion?
>> It's been moved. Is there a second?

1281
02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:40,639
» I second this motion. We have any
questions or comments?

1282
02:04:37,520 --> 02:04:44,480
» Yes. I actually would like to hear from
Mr. John, you think you can meet us at

1283
02:04:42,639 --> 02:04:49,239
the left dragon? In the meantime, vice
mayor, a question.

1284
02:04:45,760 --> 02:04:49,239
» Yes, I do.

1285
02:04:58,639 --> 02:05:01,800
She motion

1286
02:05:12,320 --> 02:05:18,800
she made a motion about some of the
things that have been thrown up.

1287
02:05:19,920 --> 02:05:23,239
from somebody

1288
02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:26,920
works

1289
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:35,000
until

1290
02:05:42,239 --> 02:05:50,960
um thank you M
to elaborate

1291
02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:57,679
Um like we said this is in support of
the initiative that the CRA um has

1292
02:05:55,760 --> 02:06:03,560
started with their application to the
TC.

1293
02:05:59,199 --> 02:06:03,560
Um in my review

1294
02:06:04,239 --> 02:06:14,560
in my review of the resolution um I saw
it as framework or a foundation. I know

1295
02:06:12,239 --> 02:06:20,080
that a similar item has come before the
previous council before as a tourism

1296
02:06:17,679 --> 02:06:25,520
master plan. It was tabled and was never
brought back for discussion. Um and I

1297
02:06:23,520 --> 02:06:32,480
think now is a good time is as good a
time as ever for the town to take and

1298
02:06:28,080 --> 02:06:39,199
make a statement about how it values it
historic tourism opportunity. Um it also

1299
02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:43,440
in my opinion Mr. Johnson you can
correct me if I'm wrong. It provides

1300
02:06:41,280 --> 02:06:48,000
another avenue of revenue which we so
desperately need commercially speaking.

1301
02:06:46,239 --> 02:06:51,360
Um
I don't have any questions. I know there

1302
02:06:49,520 --> 02:06:59,760
was a comment about I believe it was
section 8 in regard to staffing. Um can

1303
02:06:55,920 --> 02:07:04,400
you speak to what the culmination or the
or the creation of the master plan will

1304
02:07:02,239 --> 02:07:09,199
entail? I do see that it says staff. I
know that we do have staff members who

1305
02:07:06,719 --> 02:07:13,679
work in some capacity, maybe indirectly
as it pertains to tourism or cultural

1306
02:07:11,599 --> 02:07:19,840
heritage or historic preservation. I
know that we also have our historic

1307
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:24,960
preservation board that I do not see as
um a part of that section. But I know I

1308
02:07:22,639 --> 02:07:30,400
can imagine that it would be impossible
to create this district without some

1309
02:07:27,840 --> 02:07:34,880
input from them in some capacity,
whether it be recommendation or

1310
02:07:32,560 --> 02:07:39,040
participation. So can you speak to the
staffing requirements

1311
02:07:37,040 --> 02:07:47,400
and and how he plans to attack them?
>> We were speaking toward towards session

1312
02:07:41,679 --> 02:07:47,400
» session. Correct. So first of all,

1313
02:07:56,480 --> 02:08:00,520
the capital improvement plan.

1314
02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:06,040
All those things that

1315
02:08:11,520 --> 02:08:17,159
are as
possible

1316
02:08:29,360 --> 02:08:38,040
to walk us
portions of each one of these. There's

1317
02:08:35,040 --> 02:08:38,040
already

1318
02:08:39,440 --> 02:08:45,880
there's already
um that

1319
02:08:48,159 --> 02:08:53,560
um needs to be presented to the board

1320
02:08:54,320 --> 02:09:03,920
that's plan to create
all that. So some of that does not

1321
02:09:00,239 --> 02:09:09,760
necessarily have to go through the c
participation process the branches for

1322
02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:16,800
um we're kind of doing that right now.
Um in our presentation tomorrow we've

1323
02:09:12,800 --> 02:09:20,520
already um looked at two videos
um that

1324
02:09:20,880 --> 02:09:24,599
helps us with our

1325
02:09:26,880 --> 02:09:29,880
depth.

1326
02:09:30,239 --> 02:09:36,599
So things control
administration

1327
02:09:38,719 --> 02:09:46,280
plan. Um
that's some of that work has already

1328
02:09:43,119 --> 02:09:46,280
been done

1329
02:09:46,880 --> 02:09:49,920
properties and stuff.

1330
02:09:51,040 --> 02:09:57,440
process down.
So [clears throat]

1331
02:09:55,119 --> 02:10:00,440
once we did
their

1332
02:10:00,800 --> 02:10:07,400
so we can actually follow what we

1333
02:10:11,599 --> 02:10:14,599
already

1334
02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:24,480
strategy that's something that started

1335
02:10:25,520 --> 02:10:28,520
purchase

1336
02:10:34,079 --> 02:10:37,960
that original supposed

1337
02:10:44,239 --> 02:10:47,719
need to be done.

1338
02:10:54,239 --> 02:11:00,880
» Thank you, Mr. Johnson.
>> Johnson. So, this has been a

1339
02:10:57,920 --> 02:11:04,719
collaborative approach. Um,
there's been a lot of talks going on and

1340
02:11:02,960 --> 02:11:08,320
we're going to keep it short between the
CR and time. We're working

1341
02:11:06,239 --> 02:11:13,199
collaborative. We're going through it.
We're making a lot of these things come

1342
02:11:10,880 --> 02:11:17,440
to light. But when it come to life, it's
taking us time to get policies and

1343
02:11:14,960 --> 02:11:21,760
procedures in place in order to make it
happen. So a lot of funding and

1344
02:11:19,520 --> 02:11:25,920
opportunities that we have not been
afforded in the past because the

1345
02:11:23,760 --> 02:11:29,760
collaboration and feasibility studies
and all that, but all those things right

1346
02:11:27,440 --> 02:11:36,480
now I can tell you all are in full
straddle mode right now. Even besides

1347
02:11:33,360 --> 02:11:39,920
TDT, TDT is going to be a sweet on top
of it. But there's a lot of

1348
02:11:37,920 --> 02:11:46,040
opportunities, but we just got to put
this historic district in place in order

1349
02:11:42,320 --> 02:11:46,040
to make it happen.

1350
02:11:47,280 --> 02:11:54,119
» Do we have any questions for Mr. Johnson
over council

1351
02:11:57,440 --> 02:12:01,079
saw this before

1352
02:12:01,199 --> 02:12:08,159
St. state in the church
>> was the founding entity for this town

1353
02:12:06,560 --> 02:12:14,320
1881
six years before the town. Is there any

1354
02:12:10,800 --> 02:12:19,760
reason other than
churches being a religious institution

1355
02:12:16,719 --> 02:12:26,119
that is not included in your tourism
brought this to I believe I brought this

1356
02:12:22,239 --> 02:12:26,119
to your attention before

1357
02:12:30,719 --> 02:12:33,719
basically

1358
02:12:39,440 --> 02:12:43,320
I don't I don't have a problem.

1359
02:12:44,159 --> 02:12:48,440
» Yeah, but you don't.

1360
02:12:48,639 --> 02:12:55,000
» Yeah, but I promise you there's there's

1361
02:12:55,440 --> 02:13:01,199
not
no

1362
02:12:59,119 --> 02:13:09,440
but I'm saying
It doesn't help people but just the list

1363
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:15,079
that St. Thomas Church
>> because so many people can get back off

1364
02:13:11,599 --> 02:13:15,079
of St. Mar

1365
02:13:24,719 --> 02:13:30,239
» right so we're going to make sure that
that's there and that that was a part of

1366
02:13:28,639 --> 02:13:35,520
when M
I talked about the historic district

1367
02:13:32,639 --> 02:13:41,199
that's why we started and what we ended
with you know part of now going to ask

1368
02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:45,280
also council woman when it come down the
historical markers and all of the

1369
02:13:43,360 --> 02:13:49,760
national parks and all that stuff so all
these things

1370
02:13:47,679 --> 02:13:54,159
all
this is a working document this is just

1371
02:13:51,520 --> 02:13:59,199
a landing muscle start but this is
definitely a work project and then we m

1372
02:13:57,599 --> 02:14:04,079
we talked last week that we're going to
thank all of the nonprofits and the

1373
02:14:01,760 --> 02:14:07,840
entities that go along with this
district together to give you input

1374
02:14:06,079 --> 02:14:12,320
because we need the input from you all
to really make this a more robust um

1375
02:14:10,480 --> 02:14:17,119
historic district.
>> And I would like to add to that because

1376
02:14:14,639 --> 02:14:23,040
um my concern when this topic of
discussion came before the last council

1377
02:14:19,920 --> 02:14:29,119
was the inventory of assets that listed
and my push back to what was proposed

1378
02:14:26,079 --> 02:14:33,760
then was ownership. So even if you creep
at the time the master plan was listing

1379
02:14:31,280 --> 02:14:38,639
assets that do not belong to the town
and so to force those entities into

1380
02:14:37,280 --> 02:14:43,119
something without having those
discussions first was premature and

1381
02:14:40,800 --> 02:14:49,040
inappropriate. So this gives us a chance
to lay a foundation on a generic basis

1382
02:14:46,560 --> 02:14:53,360
and then build from there because as as
historic and as significant as St.

1383
02:14:51,599 --> 02:14:58,719
Lawrence AM is so is Macedonia
Missionary Baptist. They are dear Park

1384
02:14:55,599 --> 02:15:04,880
and then so is Life Center and so are so
is Open Door. There are um a number of

1385
02:15:02,000 --> 02:15:08,960
entities that are um we know to be
historically significant that are not

1386
02:15:06,639 --> 02:15:13,280
listed in detail, but this is really
just the groundwork. So if we're going

1387
02:15:11,360 --> 02:15:16,960
to list St. wants, then we better go
through and list every church that is in

1388
02:15:15,280 --> 02:15:21,679
the historic district that is a
contributing dwelling to this district

1389
02:15:19,280 --> 02:15:27,040
in addition to all other assets whether
owned by the town or not that contribute

1390
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:32,079
to this historic tourism district. But
instead of restricting ourselves in a

1391
02:15:29,360 --> 02:15:37,040
resolution, my personal opinion is that
it is more appropriate to be broad so

1392
02:15:34,480 --> 02:15:41,840
that we are not stuck with only St.
Lawrence or only the Mosley House or

1393
02:15:39,280 --> 02:15:44,800
only Club Eden. It's it's really more of
a foundation than it is anything. And

1394
02:15:43,520 --> 02:15:49,280
again, like vice mayor brought out,
there is opportunity to enhance this.

1395
02:15:47,280 --> 02:15:53,199
But what it does is it supports some of
the initiatives that we already have

1396
02:15:50,639 --> 02:15:58,159
going that you're aware of in the CRA as
well as their their application to the

1397
02:15:55,440 --> 02:16:04,400
TDT as well as the collaboration between
both the entities.

1398
02:16:00,960 --> 02:16:10,040
» Also, you're saying um once you this
resolution passes, there still has to be

1399
02:16:07,040 --> 02:16:10,040
a

1400
02:16:10,400 --> 02:16:16,520
district. So that's
how

1401
02:16:20,719 --> 02:16:23,960
it will

1402
02:16:33,599 --> 02:16:39,519
» and additionally if I can also add to
your point council woman the historic

1403
02:16:37,679 --> 02:16:43,280
preservation board and I know you're the
only one I see in the meetings with me

1404
02:16:41,200 --> 02:16:50,240
But no shade y'all. Um the historic
planning board has completed their um

1405
02:16:47,840 --> 02:16:54,399
their survey. So the draft of that is
out which I think plays right into this.

1406
02:16:52,160 --> 02:16:59,439
So some of those ones that we did not
list individually. They have covered in

1407
02:16:57,200 --> 02:17:02,559
their um survey. I know they're I know
they have a draft of it right now. So

1408
02:17:01,120 --> 02:17:07,200
it's not final. I know that final
conversation is coming from them. So

1409
02:17:04,319 --> 02:17:11,200
that's why I said that collaboration
with like the CRA and the historic

1410
02:17:09,120 --> 02:17:16,319
preservation will be key so that we can
identify those components and add them

1411
02:17:13,439 --> 02:17:20,479
to our asset base and inventory base for
for that district. But just as a

1412
02:17:18,639 --> 02:17:23,679
groundwork,
>> I got more comment than anything.

1413
02:17:22,240 --> 02:17:28,880
» First of all, thank you Mr. Johnson for
all your leadership and all your

1418
02:17:44,960 --> 02:17:51,040
But we got so much more to do um with
this particular um feature right here.

1419
02:17:49,519 --> 02:17:55,920
So hopefully we can move forward with
doing something that's going to make

1420
02:17:52,160 --> 02:17:58,960
sense um for our kids kids kids and you

1429
02:18:40,160 --> 02:18:48,479
another level um I'm just going to say
hi a couple things it's been a long

1430
02:18:44,319 --> 02:18:54,639
night um I'm going start off with some
information so everybody can hear it.

1431
02:18:50,960 --> 02:19:01,120
First thing is um this upcoming Friday,
August 7th, U will be the last day for

1432
02:18:58,800 --> 02:19:06,399
Lieutenant Lampin.
He has decided um he's still going to be

1433
02:19:03,760 --> 02:19:09,920
around with us. U Chief and I have been
having some conversation. Still going to

1434
02:19:07,599 --> 02:19:16,319
be around with us, but he's moving to um
be a reserve deputy. That's number one.

1435
02:19:14,399 --> 02:19:22,000
Number two
on

1436
02:19:18,639 --> 02:19:26,960
Yesterday morning um I received an email
and after 25 years of dedicated service

1437
02:19:24,719 --> 02:19:31,920
to the historic town
our finance register Katrina Gibson has

1438
02:19:29,200 --> 02:19:37,840
decided to retire and her last day will
be August 23rd. So thank you Miss Gibson

1439
02:19:34,880 --> 02:19:40,840
for all you have done and endured this
time.

1440
02:19:49,200 --> 02:19:57,600
Um with all that being that um we did
have money that was placed aside in the

1441
02:19:55,920 --> 02:20:04,960
budget that we had already been working
along with along with Miss Gibson

1442
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:12,240
um Goldman Wolf who were referred to us
by cars in England who was our aud

1443
02:20:09,920 --> 02:20:16,160
They they recommended Goldman Wolf
because we have a piggyback situation

1444
02:20:14,240 --> 02:20:19,680
that's happening right now. They're
going I mean to help us with financial

1445
02:20:17,840 --> 02:20:24,560
services with budgets and everything. So
that's already in play. They're updating

1446
02:20:22,640 --> 02:20:31,280
our chart of accounts. So they will be
sitting down with me and Miss Gibson on

1447
02:20:26,880 --> 02:20:37,680
Thursday and that'll be ready for um
workshop on next Tuesday.

1448
02:20:34,640 --> 02:20:44,160
Uh also during this time um with Miss
Gibson we have also now officially have

1449
02:20:40,800 --> 02:20:52,120
hired a tax payable position. That
position now is filled. It has been over

1450
02:20:48,479 --> 02:20:52,120
two and a half years

1451
02:20:52,240 --> 02:21:02,080
somewhere around there. So that feel
some exciting news. Uh we're looking at

1452
02:21:00,080 --> 02:21:07,760
insurance right now. We know that's one
of the biggest things that all that. So

1453
02:21:04,960 --> 02:21:13,520
we are in talks with a new carrier um
dealing with property and casualty and

1454
02:21:10,000 --> 02:21:19,040
benefits and preliminarily right now
with um

1455
02:21:16,479 --> 02:21:25,439
what they are offering
same amount of coverage and some if the

1456
02:21:22,080 --> 02:21:29,200
property tax thing was to pass on this
one line item alone we've already saved

1457
02:21:27,439 --> 02:21:34,160
that money.
So that's huge.

1458
02:21:30,960 --> 02:21:38,640
if that was to take place and also Miss
Monday's already going we've already

1459
02:21:36,000 --> 02:21:43,840
talked about the town center how it has
went through the rig process of

1460
02:21:40,319 --> 02:21:49,800
permitting um kind of fire and all those
things.

1461
02:21:44,880 --> 02:21:49,800
Those are motions and that's

1462
02:21:55,040 --> 02:21:57,520
just to

1463
02:21:59,760 --> 02:22:03,640
I don't know, but

1464
02:22:20,560 --> 02:22:27,040
the other thing I want to do I want to
thank is uh the council for allowing me

1465
02:22:24,160 --> 02:22:27,040
to

1466
02:22:27,600 --> 02:22:30,600
attorney

1467
02:22:32,399 --> 02:22:42,920
for a number of years just to be able to
help and guide this uh this this town

1468
02:22:37,680 --> 02:22:42,920
even for a short time a short period

1469
02:22:44,479 --> 02:22:54,399
uh to help with this town uh to put
together uh plans and implement

1470
02:22:51,040 --> 02:22:58,319
uh procedures that are going to be going
to worthy of his talent and the

1471
02:22:56,160 --> 02:23:04,560
development that will be taking place in
the years to come and working with us to

1472
02:23:01,840 --> 02:23:10,399
do that. And lastly, I've known Miss
Gibson for the past 12 years.

1473
02:23:08,880 --> 02:23:16,800
She's given me trouble, but at the end
of the day, great person, great

1474
02:23:12,720 --> 02:23:20,439
resource. Uh, and she's sorting this not
by you all, by

Um, so you will get some information,

department head does a sensational job

1501
02:25:30,240 --> 02:25:38,240
with what they um do on a daily basis
considering you know how tough their

1502
02:25:34,240 --> 02:25:42,000
jobs are can be at times. Um so I got a
great appreciation for everything that

1503
02:25:39,680 --> 02:25:47,439
they do and post They're supposed to
make a presentation, but um

1504
02:25:45,439 --> 02:25:52,800
like I said, uh we we got a business to
come back here. And if Manny is watching

1505
02:25:49,840 --> 02:25:57,120
right now, uh I got to continue holding
you accountable, you know, especially

1506
02:25:54,319 --> 02:26:02,240
when you've been, you know, um doing
construction in this community for some

1507
02:25:58,880 --> 02:26:07,600
time now and have have yet to um come to
a completion. You can give us a OC on um

1508
02:26:05,600 --> 02:26:11,600
when you're going to be um completed. So
uh please, if you're watching, we need

1509
02:26:10,000 --> 02:26:15,439
to sleep with you. we need you to come
to these meetings that you think you're

1510
02:26:13,120 --> 02:26:20,080
going to come to and give us um some
kind of clarity on on what we need to

1511
02:26:17,359 --> 02:26:24,000
know because I got a lot of questions.
And uh speaking of host D, I know we got

1512
02:26:22,240 --> 02:26:29,840
some infrastructure issues that we need
to deal with. I won't these are the

1513
02:26:26,880 --> 02:26:33,520
questions that I asked um the um CEO,
but I'll get them at a later date, but

1514
02:26:31,920 --> 02:26:40,640
these are important issues that we need
to tackle sooner than later. And also um

1515
02:26:37,280 --> 02:26:44,240
congratulations to the six um applicates
and hopefully all of them can be

1516
02:26:42,160 --> 02:26:49,200
recipients of getting the scholarship
learning. And I must say my son opted

1517
02:26:46,640 --> 02:26:53,280
out because he would like to see the
kids that are in college that are not in

1518
02:26:51,760 --> 02:26:57,840
school like he is. He's on school
scholarship free of charge don't pay for

1519
02:26:55,840 --> 02:27:02,080
anything. So he would like to open that
window for other kids to get more money.

1520
02:27:00,160 --> 02:27:08,160
So that's big of him to do that. So, I
got a great appreciation for him taking

1521

I know Miss Money is not here, but I

1522
02:27:09,920 --> 02:27:18,560
gotta thank her and God bless um um
former mayor for making us um sidewalk

1523
02:27:16,720 --> 02:27:24,240
project happen the way that's been
happening in this community. It was his

1524
02:27:20,960 --> 02:27:29,840
that was his day. And if he if he's if
his kids or family is watching, man, you

1525
02:27:27,200 --> 02:27:34,080
know, that that's that's him. And and it
makes me feel good knowing that he did

1526
02:27:31,520 --> 02:27:37,200
it, man, because I know how much he
loved the community and he would love to

1527
02:27:35,760 --> 02:27:43,600
see that. He's not here, but he would
have loved to see installs and I know

1528
02:27:40,640 --> 02:27:47,840
how passionate he was about it. So, um,
thanks to the company that did it.

1529
02:27:45,040 --> 02:27:53,280
Thanks, Miss Money for filling the need
of just, you know, just hiring along to

1530
02:27:49,920 --> 02:27:59,120
make that happen. Also, also, um, the
update, Chief, um, you don't have to

1531
02:27:55,040 --> 02:28:03,680
give it to me now. um with the DOJ um
police building down in Catalina Park. I

1532
02:28:01,359 --> 02:28:07,520
know we spoke about it on last meeting
in terms of when it's going to be in

1533
02:28:05,439 --> 02:28:15,240
completion. Um I don't know where we're
at with that. Maybe you can kind of

1534
02:28:10,800 --> 02:28:15,240
speak on it a little bit if you can.

1535
02:28:17,439 --> 02:28:24,960
» Yes, sir. There was a fire washing need
to be completed.

1536
02:28:22,319 --> 02:28:29,600
the county uh with all that. So as far
as money, we're moving forward. So we

1537
02:28:27,680 --> 02:28:34,479
should have a date here short. That was
the hold up with part of the county.

1538
02:28:32,240 --> 02:28:39,280
» Okay. Thanks so much. Appreciate.
>> Okay. It'll be um pretty brief here,

1539
02:28:36,479 --> 02:28:44,560
guys. Um Father's Day, I know Mayor go
ahead and discuss that. Looking forward

1540
02:28:41,840 --> 02:28:47,920
to hearing her report when it come to um
founders day. Looking forward to u

1541
02:28:46,399 --> 02:28:53,840
participating
being involved with that also. And also

1542
02:28:50,960 --> 02:28:57,439
um I think we need to move forward with
selecting someone to sit on the board

1543
02:28:55,600 --> 02:29:01,600
that I had opportunity to sit on not
only as a board member but I I'm the

1544
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:05,280
first elected official from the county
region bill to actually chair that board

1545
02:29:03,520 --> 02:29:09,359
which is the community action board
which is um the Orange County. I think

1546
02:29:07,439 --> 02:29:13,439
it's a very prestigious board to sit on.
I think we need to get one of our

1547
02:29:10,640 --> 02:29:16,720
members up here, select someone to go
and sit on the board because it's

1548
02:29:14,640 --> 02:29:21,600
soformational that go over there and get
so much um details on what we can bring

1549
02:29:19,439 --> 02:29:25,840
back here to strengthen our community as
well such as the Orange County thing. So

1550
02:29:24,319 --> 02:29:30,560
um I had an opportunity to bring a lot
of different things back um to this

1551
02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:34,800
platform and give to my um citizen and
to help my ministry. So it would

1552
02:29:32,720 --> 02:29:39,040
definitely be um a great fit if we get
someone up here whoever it is because I

1553
02:29:37,439 --> 02:29:43,200
had an opportunity to sit on there five
years and share for five years that I

1554
02:29:41,439 --> 02:29:47,280
sat up there. So hopefully you guys can
move in the same direction that I moved

1555
02:29:44,960 --> 02:29:51,120
in and u bring that information back to
our community. So let's move forward

1556
02:29:48,880 --> 02:29:56,880
with you know possibly um going in the
direction of selecting someone to do

1557
02:29:52,720 --> 02:30:02,160
that. And congratulations to uh TG Law.
Um I I I

1558
02:30:00,080 --> 02:30:07,680
believe in giving people an opportunity
and you guys sold stuff to me. Um and

1559
02:30:05,840 --> 02:30:12,319
you know I I got a great appreciation
for it and but what the the neat thing

1560
02:30:09,680 --> 02:30:17,920
about it is
you know we are in the position right

1561
02:30:14,800 --> 02:30:22,160
now to love albums with people and go
out there and create relationships

1562
02:30:19,760 --> 02:30:25,920
that's going to be longlasting. I'm I'm
good friends with a lot of people that I

1563
02:30:24,080 --> 02:30:29,600
went to school with 40 years ago and I'm
still great friends with them. So I

1564
02:30:27,200 --> 02:30:33,840
think if we can collaborate and collect
come together and work together, we're

1565
02:30:31,760 --> 02:30:37,680
better we're better together as a part
and one thing about a house divided

1566
02:30:36,240 --> 02:30:40,640
house will fall. So I want to make sure
that we're moving forward. We're doing

1567
02:30:39,120 --> 02:30:43,439
things that's going to be likeminded. I
know we're not going to agree on

1568
02:30:41,760 --> 02:30:46,960
everything and we do make tough
decisions up there as legislators and as

1569
02:30:45,120 --> 02:30:51,920
leaders. Um I've been doing it for the
last several years, man, and I will

1570
02:30:48,800 --> 02:30:56,640
continue doing it. Um,
and I I'll just leave that like that.

1571
02:30:53,760 --> 02:31:01,200
So, um, also congratulations to Attorney
Jackson for becoming the magistrate. Um,

1572
02:30:59,280 --> 02:31:05,920
I think you do a sensational job for
just, you know, giving us all the

1573
02:31:03,120 --> 02:31:10,479
details that we need to know on the
other side CRA, which we got a great

1574
02:31:08,560 --> 02:31:13,280
appreciation for. And now you're serving
as management, making sure that we're

1575
02:31:12,080 --> 02:31:17,680
going to move forward with getting
things done in a timely manner and not

1576
02:31:16,160 --> 02:31:21,359
just timely manner, but getting things
done correctly. So, thank you. And I

1577
02:31:20,240 --> 02:31:24,720
know this something that we've been
positioning ourselves to have for some

1578
02:31:22,960 --> 02:31:31,040
time now, but we never got over that
hump of doing it. And I have to give my

1579
02:31:27,680 --> 02:31:35,120
kudos to Mayor Cole again. God bless him
for um being one of the main ones that

1580
02:31:33,359 --> 02:31:39,280
are initiated. You know what I'm saying?
But it came to full fruition now and I'm

1581
02:31:37,680 --> 02:31:42,880
grateful and thankful that we are in
position right now to have a magistrate

1582
02:31:40,960 --> 02:31:47,200
while we can't get some things done from
a code enforcement perspective. So,

1583
02:31:44,560 --> 02:31:53,280
thank you. Congratulations. And also,
um, last but not least, man, um, I can't

1584
02:31:49,840 --> 02:31:59,280
say enough words. Um, there up here in
the 25 years that she's been working for

1585
02:31:55,120 --> 02:32:06,240
this town. Um, I can't, man, I could say
can't think of a better person to

1586
02:32:02,720 --> 02:32:12,319
serve as a financial director, as an
employee, as someone that I

1587
02:32:09,840 --> 02:32:17,359
got great respect for. You're going to
be truly um, good luck with all your

1588
02:32:15,120 --> 02:32:21,920
endeavors. um moving forward. Um I wish
you the best. I know it wasn't an easy

1589
02:32:19,760 --> 02:32:26,960
thing for you to do, but um with that
being said, I wish you the best in

1590
02:32:24,080 --> 02:32:31,920
everything that's um coming at you. I
know God is going to continue blessing

1591
02:32:28,720 --> 02:32:37,399
you as always. And um if all if all
minds and hearts are clear, that's my

1592
02:32:33,439 --> 02:32:37,399

1638
02:36:56,640 --> 02:37:05,840
located at 549 East Kennedy Boulevard.
Uh that will be from 10 to 2:00 and I'll

everyone to come out for that. uh a new

1642
02:37:21,040 --> 02:37:28,000
discovery, a new addition to the
artifacts of the town, the beginning of

1643
02:37:25,439 --> 02:37:35,280
the town. And I don't know if Miss King
can pull that up. If not, uh we have a

1644
02:37:30,560 --> 02:37:40,800
church veil that barriers and that's my
love. I've been working on this project

1645
02:37:38,000 --> 02:37:47,359
for a little over two years. And this
church bell is the symbol of the town.

1646
02:37:45,200 --> 02:37:55,920
It was brought to Eatenville by Lewis
Barnes who um actually a dead property

1647
02:37:51,200 --> 02:38:04,800
of wealthy man who donated acres of land
to uh St. Barnes as well as to others.

1648
02:37:59,680 --> 02:38:09,760
So this bail is a new um addition to the
historic Eville. It was the beginning of

1649
02:38:07,040 --> 02:38:14,800
the town, the beginning of the church
and um I'm working on some projects and

1650
02:38:12,560 --> 02:38:19,520
get some other individuals to see if we
can get that funded so we can long the

1651
02:38:16,880 --> 02:38:25,120
bail. So we're going to put a lot of on
it because people would like to come and

1652
02:38:21,920 --> 02:38:30,399
see the bail. This is going to be almost
the Liberty B.

1653
02:38:28,800 --> 02:38:34,160
So, you know, so it's going to bring
people here as well. So, just want to

1654
02:38:32,399 --> 02:38:38,880
make sure you all aware of that. If you
like to be a part of the project, we

1655
02:38:35,840 --> 02:38:46,240
just let you know. Uh I do have a
concern and now I understood the other

1656
02:38:42,319 --> 02:38:50,800
day what um council
Thomas had mentioned about logo

1657
02:38:48,880 --> 02:38:57,600
I was headed down the street and
something is going on with our logo.

1658
02:38:53,040 --> 02:39:03,040
I've seen two incidents this week
logo like this is on the side of the

1659
02:39:00,160 --> 02:39:10,160
building. Want to know how did that
building get this size logo on the side

1660
02:39:07,120 --> 02:39:12,319
you know?
>> It's a painting.

1661
02:39:11,359 --> 02:39:17,760
» Oh, it's a painting.
>> Correct.

1662
02:39:13,040 --> 02:39:22,240
» Okay. It's not really all physical love
from the town. But I'm saying here, let

1663
02:39:20,160 --> 02:39:27,840
me just say as a question if I'm getting
ahead of myself.

1664
02:39:24,399 --> 02:39:34,399
Are others permitted to use our logo? I
saw someone today that had a logo inside

1665
02:39:31,200 --> 02:39:39,040
of the car. So if if those kind of
things are going on that people are

1666
02:39:36,160 --> 02:39:44,720
painting our logo on their private
property,

1667
02:39:40,560 --> 02:39:52,240
then that could be um because that would
indicate that that particular helper

1668
02:39:47,760 --> 02:39:57,040
could be a service helper for the town
and that would be very misleading. And I

1669
02:39:54,880 --> 02:40:02,720
will admit that that would not be that
would be something that I think will be

1670
02:39:59,840 --> 02:40:09,880
not a very safe measure because when
people see an official needle but a

1671
02:40:04,880 --> 02:40:09,880
local one without even checking

1672
02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:18,640
that's how things happen. All right. Um
so I was asking a question what are we

1673
02:40:16,240 --> 02:40:23,359
doing to protect all of the vote? Yeah.
My my instruction was my alley was

1674
02:40:21,760 --> 02:40:26,319
coming to attorney Jackson while I was
still here. I know this came up at the

1675
02:40:24,880 --> 02:40:31,600
last council meeting and not to take
over council woman, but I know this was

1676
02:40:29,040 --> 02:40:36,319
brought up at the last one and there was
conversation about an ordinance that was

1677
02:40:33,680 --> 02:40:40,800
passed. Um, and I believe copyright was
a part of that conversation. Do we have

1678
02:40:38,800 --> 02:40:44,040
all that information to speak on that at
this time?

1679
02:40:45,680 --> 02:40:52,120
» Do we know?
>> But but I will say this trademark

1680
02:40:53,760 --> 02:41:01,880
concern someone is posting official
photo of the town certain

1681
02:41:22,720 --> 02:41:31,120
digging. um councilwoman just to find
out exactly what we had in code and the

1682
02:41:28,640 --> 02:41:34,800
the trademark and copyright
conversation. So I didn't want to speak

1683
02:41:33,120 --> 02:41:40,160
prematurely. I'll leave that to the
jury. Dr.

1684
02:41:36,880 --> 02:41:43,520
that we passed by resolution
but what happened was we didn't have the

1685
02:41:42,240 --> 02:41:47,760
procedures in place
>> implemented okay

1686
02:41:44,479 --> 02:41:47,760
» that's what it was

1687
02:41:56,160 --> 02:42:00,920
You can do this way.

1688
02:42:11,200 --> 02:42:18,359
» So if you haven't taken steps
on your process.

1689
02:42:21,040 --> 02:42:28,000
Can you collaborate with our attorney to
get an update where it's come from and

1690
02:42:26,560 --> 02:42:30,000
then bring that back before us in case
there's any additional action we need to

1691
02:42:29,520 --> 02:42:36,120
take?
>> I just thank you council woman. Please

1692
02:42:33,120 --> 02:42:36,120
continue.

1693
02:42:38,640 --> 02:42:47,520
Okay. Now, um the comments that Cole
signed, uh I just want to say that um

1694
02:42:44,880 --> 02:42:53,600
they have to be fully accountable.
>> Um and we have to make sure that not,

1695
02:42:50,960 --> 02:42:57,600
you know, we work
to succeed and open.

1696
02:42:55,600 --> 02:43:03,319
» We have to be very careful and make sure
that we're following all of the the

1697
02:43:04,319 --> 02:43:10,240
user friendly say, okay, you know, this
is my

1698
02:43:08,640 --> 02:43:16,640
wants
you to be very

1699
02:43:13,040 --> 02:43:22,560
met requirements that accountability,
but they should not give a seat.

1700
02:43:19,200 --> 02:43:28,000
Um, also I wanted to know also whether
or not the board would be interested in

1701
02:43:25,520 --> 02:43:34,880
council with them in a restores
preservation presentation. Miss Melissa

1702
02:43:31,840 --> 02:43:42,080
um just from the National Trust when she
came the last time she was not

1703
02:43:39,359 --> 02:43:46,479
to uh present um the historic
preservation but since we're talking

1704
02:43:43,520 --> 02:43:51,840
about tourism and heritage we're moving
forward without a lot of education about

1705
02:43:49,439 --> 02:43:57,840
what historic preservation
so

1706
02:43:53,920 --> 02:44:02,880
that we can all feel aware of things we
should know

1707
02:44:00,720 --> 02:44:07,000
time will
um see

1708
02:44:07,040 --> 02:44:11,600
Oh, one more. No, I don't need to
announce that.

1709
02:44:11,279 --> 02:44:15,359
» Okay.
>> Okay. Other than that, that's it. Thank

1710
02:44:13,600 --> 02:44:21,120
you all very much and have a wonderful
blessed day and I hope to see you at the

1711
02:44:18,319 --> 02:44:26,000
church for the celebration in our lesson
time. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman.

1712
02:44:23,520 --> 02:44:30,600
Black man.
I just want to thank everyone for

1713
02:44:27,600 --> 02:44:30,600
coming.

1714
02:44:34,800 --> 02:44:42,000
Thank you, Mayor.
Um, okay. I'll keep mine short since

1715
02:44:39,920 --> 02:44:46,800
everybody else did. Um, I'm going to
start with condolences. I know there are

1716
02:44:44,319 --> 02:44:51,040
two significant ones at least for me.
Um, and to Tom Eatenville. Timman's

1717
02:44:49,200 --> 02:44:58,240
family and the great house family both
have suffered losses this week. Um,

1718
02:44:53,760 --> 02:45:03,279
personally, the Timmans family um they
are eating billions and so their loss is

1719
02:45:00,960 --> 02:45:07,920
in fact our loss. our hearts of prayer
most assuredly go out with to them as

1720
02:45:06,000 --> 02:45:12,800
well as to Miss Great Cross. We just
suffered a loss of her family. We love

1721
02:45:09,760 --> 02:45:18,960
her dearly and she is very civically
engaged and so um very sorry to hear

1722
02:45:16,800 --> 02:45:24,800
about the loss of her family. Our
thoughts and prayers uh do go out to

1723
02:45:21,359 --> 02:45:29,279
them. Um, in the spirit of loss,
uh, everyone's favorite Lieutenant

1724
02:45:27,760 --> 02:45:35,040
Lampkin
and everyone's favorite, uh, Miss

1725
02:45:31,920 --> 02:45:41,279
Gibson, some longtime Eatenville
servants and their presence will be

1726
02:45:38,720 --> 02:45:47,439
their lack of presence will not only be
missed, it will be felt. It will be

1727
02:45:43,439 --> 02:45:52,240
impactful. Um, Miss Gibson for me is so
much more than a finance director.

1728
02:45:50,080 --> 02:45:57,120
if she'd been here 25 years. I won't
tell you how long it stands by the dead

1729
02:45:53,760 --> 02:46:02,240
of my community service hours in her
office. Um, but

1730
02:46:00,160 --> 02:46:06,160
just the contribution that she has made
to the town of Eatenville through so

1731
02:46:04,240 --> 02:46:12,640
many administrations and so many
different personalities is a testament

1732
02:46:08,720 --> 02:46:18,399
to her loyalty. And so that ace in the
hole that ram in the bush that she is

1733
02:46:16,240 --> 02:46:22,479
I mean she could have gave me a year
where she decided to pack up and leave

1734
02:46:20,720 --> 02:46:30,720
but I won't hold that against a fellow
wrestler. Um and then uh Lieutenant

1735
02:46:26,399 --> 02:46:34,640
Lampin. I mean talk about a day one and
somebody who

1736
02:46:32,720 --> 02:46:40,080
has earned his strengths in this
community earned the respect that he uh

1737
02:46:37,359 --> 02:46:43,439
receives. I know some stories are
friendlier than others depending on what

1738
02:46:41,840 --> 02:46:50,000
side of your interactions you've been in
with him, but um even prior to taking on

1739
02:46:47,760 --> 02:46:57,920
the responsibility of mayor cracked the
character and so the um the loss of his

1740
02:46:54,640 --> 02:47:04,240
his presence will be felt. I know Chief
has some shoes to fill over there and uh

1741
02:47:01,279 --> 02:47:09,200
so I'm excited to see um you know who
comes in, who moves up the ranks, who's

1742
02:47:06,160 --> 02:47:15,200
next in line to uh to serve this
community. Um KG Law, welcome to the

1743
02:47:13,120 --> 02:47:19,600
town of Eatenville.
Um, [laughter]

1744
02:47:17,520 --> 02:47:25,840
on the administrative side, I'm glad
you're here. Um, to handle some of those

1745
02:47:23,120 --> 02:47:30,240
administrative uh, weights that we that
we deal with on a daily basis. I think

1746
02:47:27,920 --> 02:47:34,800
your resume spoke for itself, the
diversity in your firm and what you

1747
02:47:32,560 --> 02:47:40,399
bring to the table from experience. I
think uh, attorney Joel, you said that

1748
02:47:38,000 --> 02:47:45,760
it is your life experience that that
makes you guys the most qualified and I

1749
02:47:43,439 --> 02:47:51,439
strongly agree. um in a community where
we are self-governed. We are people

1750
02:47:47,920 --> 02:47:57,520
first and politicians second. And so to
have that and to couple that with the

1751
02:47:54,720 --> 02:48:04,080
legal guidance that your board certified
attorneys can provide is priceless. So I

1752
02:48:00,560 --> 02:48:13,200
am very excited to have you on board. Um
and then attorney Jackson

1753
02:48:07,279 --> 02:48:16,800
this whole time anyways town. So welcome
again.

1754
02:48:14,720 --> 02:48:21,200
I'm glad to have that position um
filled. I know we have some voids in the

1755
02:48:18,640 --> 02:48:23,840
code enforcement department um and so to
be able to address some of those

1756
02:48:22,399 --> 02:48:30,319
concerns that this council has brought
up on a number of occasions will be um

1757
02:48:27,520 --> 02:48:34,880
definitely productive. Very excited
about that. Um early voting like you

1758
02:48:32,640 --> 02:48:39,200
have heard a number of time you guys
have an early voting location there are

1759
02:48:36,720 --> 02:48:43,279
no lines there. I mean you can get in
and get out. The ladies that hold us

1760
02:48:41,439 --> 02:48:48,240
down every single year are doing an
amazing job. They are burn. I mean, from

1761
02:48:46,640 --> 02:48:53,600
the moment you walk into the door to the
salad to the way back out, they are they

1762
02:48:51,040 --> 02:48:58,560
are so warm. Um, and and such a pleasure
to have them here. Again, those hours

1763
02:48:55,920 --> 02:48:59,600
are 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. through early
voting.

1764
02:48:59,200 --> 02:49:03,439
» Yes.
>> 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. up until the

1765
02:49:01,520 --> 02:49:09,040
16th, which is a Sunday. So even after
you go worship, you can come put in your

1766
02:49:06,160 --> 02:49:13,200
work in the in the in the ballot box or
in the in the voting booth. Um

1767
02:49:12,000 --> 02:49:15,600
» on election,
>> yes,

1768
02:49:13,600 --> 02:49:20,640
» on election day is 7 to 7.
>> On election day, which is also during

1769
02:49:17,279 --> 02:49:26,560
the time bill 77, make sure when you go
your shouts out, I voted

1770
02:49:24,319 --> 02:49:29,439
I voted early. Go and tell them folks
that y'all okay and y'all voted right

1771
02:49:28,080 --> 02:49:33,200
here in the town of Edenville. Thank you
to the supervisor of elections for

1772
02:49:30,800 --> 02:49:37,600
thinking in our rivalry to make it
convenient for us to do our civic duty

1773
02:49:35,920 --> 02:49:42,880
and vote. There would be no Eatenville
if there was no voter. So, thank you so

1774
02:49:40,319 --> 02:49:46,800
much to them for that. Um, speaking of
Eatenville, we do have Founders Day on

1775
02:49:45,120 --> 02:49:52,399
the horizon. Make sure you tell a
friend. Y'all forgive us. We had some

1776
02:49:49,439 --> 02:49:56,800
issues with the website and so the
ability to effectively and efficiently

1777
02:49:54,880 --> 02:50:00,560
communicate with the community has been
somewhat dampened. But spread the word.

1778
02:49:59,040 --> 02:50:04,319
Don't know why we are. We are word of
mouth individuals. Tell everybody next

1779
02:50:02,399 --> 02:50:09,200
weekend. And it sounds like we have a
full day of events. We did condense the

1780
02:50:06,399 --> 02:50:14,319
festival to be from 4 pm to 7:00 p.m.
But I'm glad we did that because the

1781
02:50:11,359 --> 02:50:19,200
Edgewater football team, if I'm not
mistaken, they're the Eatenville

1782
02:50:16,319 --> 02:50:23,439
Edgewater football team. So, shout out
to to both of those. And um starting at

1783
02:50:21,840 --> 02:50:27,359
9:00 a.m. and then you can come right on
over to St. Lawrence at 10:00 and hang

1784
02:50:25,200 --> 02:50:32,720
out for a bit. And then you can miss the
2:00 afternoon showers and come on back

1785
02:50:29,439 --> 02:50:36,720
out at 4:00 for a good time on the lawn.
Friday night we are doing dust tracks on

1786
02:50:34,960 --> 02:50:41,520
the boulevard. So if you are familiar
with our infamous Zor no hur you will

1787
02:50:38,960 --> 02:50:46,319
know that her autobiography of 1942 is
titled dust tracks on a road and so

1788
02:50:44,240 --> 02:50:50,479
we're taking a spin on that. All of our
activities will be in the hunger field.

1789
02:50:48,160 --> 02:50:54,319
If you are not already aware there was a
save the date that came out in the water

1790
02:50:52,479 --> 02:50:57,600
fields today. You should have seen that.
There will also be more information.

1791
02:50:56,000 --> 02:51:02,319
Miss Faith has done a good job in
getting that website. Um all those kinks

1792
02:51:00,080 --> 02:51:07,040
worked out. So there will be volunteers
sign up, vendors sign up, send some

1793
02:51:04,160 --> 02:51:11,200
sponsors this way. Help them uh help us
have a good time. Um but Friday night

1794
02:51:09,120 --> 02:51:16,319
will be if you guys remember chill in
the bill, that kind of vibe, you know,

1795
02:51:13,439 --> 02:51:22,720
um some poetry, some comedies, some live
bands, um just a little bit of light

1796
02:51:19,200 --> 02:51:27,120
bites and and some free fun. So, um,
tell a friend, tell a neighbor, tell a

1797
02:51:25,520 --> 02:51:30,880
visitor, come on out. We're going to
celebrate 139 years of the town of

1798
02:51:29,439 --> 02:51:33,279
Eatenville. And I'm going to throw this
out. I said I wasn't going to do it

1799
02:51:32,160 --> 02:51:39,279
tonight, but I'm going to throw this
out. Um, we are preparing, we are

1800
02:51:36,560 --> 02:51:42,560
looking at the 140th anniversary. And
the theme of this year, while we are

1801
02:51:41,120 --> 02:51:48,000
honoring our past and building our
future, is very much the road to 140. So

1802
02:51:46,319 --> 02:51:52,479
you will be hearing more. You will be
asked for feedback on what you would

1803
02:51:49,760 --> 02:51:55,920
like to see next year as we go big. So
it's a little appetizing this year, but

1804
02:51:54,080 --> 02:52:00,080
we going we saving some room for next
year. We've got some big plans that we

1805
02:51:58,240 --> 02:52:05,040
want to see happen in celebration of
such a milestone. So as you celebrate

1806
02:52:02,640 --> 02:52:11,680
with us this year, keep that in mind as
well. Um meet and greet Macedonia 5:30.

1807
02:52:09,920 --> 02:52:15,120
Perfect time to pull up and ask some
questions. The hard ones too. I mean

1808
02:52:13,520 --> 02:52:19,439
they're putting Dr. is putting
themselves out there. This is a perfect

1809
02:52:16,960 --> 02:52:23,760
time to hold their feet to the fire and
ask some of them questions that we have

1810
02:52:21,200 --> 02:52:28,880
had um at the dinner table, at the
Domino's table underneath the tree.

1811
02:52:25,920 --> 02:52:36,040
Let's come on out. I heard they feed us.
Let's go on out at 5:30 to take

1812
02:52:31,279 --> 02:52:36,040
advantage of that. And

1813
02:52:36,880 --> 02:52:45,840
oh, first day of school. Um and I'm
pointing at Oh, gee. I'm praying that

1814
02:52:43,359 --> 02:52:49,120
Councilwoman Jordan because our babies
are going back to school. Her babies

1815
02:52:47,120 --> 02:52:54,240
going back to school, too. So, shout out
to our educator right here on this

1816
02:52:50,800 --> 02:52:58,000
council. We wish you and our students an
amazing and productive year. Um, don't

1817
02:52:56,720 --> 02:53:01,040
let them drive you crazy. We know you
going to get right.

1818
02:53:00,560 --> 02:53:08,240
[laughter]
>> And then us tonight on this note. Um

1819
02:53:06,160 --> 02:53:13,279
uh in response to your comment, Council
Member Randolph, about the National

1820
02:53:10,640 --> 02:53:17,680
Trust. Um and again, I know you and I
sit in those meetings and find great

1821
02:53:15,279 --> 02:53:21,439
pleasure in it. There have been
administrative conversations with the

1822
02:53:19,439 --> 02:53:24,720
National Trust. Like I said, we know
that they are about halfway through the

1823
02:53:22,960 --> 02:53:28,479
grant that we've received from them. So,
they are ready for the next phase. We're

1824
02:53:26,720 --> 02:53:32,399
getting everything together for them to
do that, which is why the survey was

1825
02:53:30,160 --> 02:53:36,560
such a big deal. So, I can assure you
that there will be some collaboration

1826
02:53:34,479 --> 02:53:40,800
and um once the historic preservation
board has a chance to thoroughly review

1827
02:53:38,880 --> 02:53:45,760
that, you can guarantee that they will
be invited to speak to us. And I invite

1828
02:53:43,200 --> 02:53:48,640
the council to pull up on second
Thursdays at 6:00.

1829
02:53:47,920 --> 02:53:53,200
» First Thursday,
>> first Thursdays in a second, first

1830
02:53:50,720 --> 02:53:55,920
Thursdays 6:00.
>> This Thursday,

1831
02:53:53,920 --> 02:54:00,000
» this Thursday here at Vent Johnson as
well to come out and hear the business

1832
02:53:58,000 --> 02:54:03,920
of the historic preservation board. it
does have a direct impact on what we're

1833
02:54:01,760 --> 02:54:06,960
doing. Um, and being able to balance
historic preservation with economic

1834
02:54:05,439 --> 02:54:11,040
development for the future of this
community is going to take some some

1835
02:54:09,279 --> 02:54:15,040
leadership from this council. So, I
encourage us all to come and get

1836
02:54:12,720 --> 02:54:21,920
educated. With that being said, that is
my report.

1837
02:54:16,800 --> 02:54:25,279
If there's no other business, I move for
second. All in favor of journey, please

1838
02:54:23,680 --> 02:54:30,040
come to I.
>> Right. It is 10:27. We are journal.
