determined that an emergency exists by

340
00:32:03,679 --> 00:32:09,880
passage pass and approve the 10th day of
August 2026.

341
00:32:12,799 --> 00:32:17,159
Is there any discussion on this?

342
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:28,679
I think a motion
for legal size on your business section

343
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:35,480
section 2 L
2 L.

344
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:44,640
So I think 2 L this is who issued the
comment. Uh I believe we're going to

345
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:50,600
change that. Right now we got governor
county jud fire chief and we're going to

346
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,600
add

347
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:57,760
there's two places that shows up. So I
think we have a motion to add mayor to

348
00:32:55,679 --> 00:33:02,240
that
2 L

349
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:09,279
and also
section six

350
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:14,039
individual account. 2 L 6
motion to add mayor tow

351
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:35,240
section
3 C

352
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,240
is

353
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:43,960
Maybe
last five months and exact $150.

354
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:58,919
» Well, right now just on the motion to
add

355
00:33:54,559 --> 00:33:58,919
right now just on the motion to a

356
00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:02,679
come back.

357
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,360
We got a motion say

358
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,200
I said

359
00:34:22,879 --> 00:34:31,679
you got a second I hear you
Brazil yes

360
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,839
» yes
>> Daniel

361
00:34:33,359 --> 00:34:37,639
yes
>> arson Yeah.

362
00:34:37,683 --> 00:34:43,599
[music]
So on 3e E the cost of the permit is not

363
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:50,520
separated. So that would be for
residential or commercial.

364
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,520
Yeah.

365
00:34:54,399 --> 00:35:03,200
You said commercial. Yeah. I I was under
the impression that commercial

366
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:10,320
that have a location and they carry
stuff over there and they get huge piles

367
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:15,599
and they set fire and they have
I think when you do something that make

368
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:22,440
it commercial
a lot of these people they they cut

369
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,440
grass and cut limb and

370
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:28,640
town and then they set it on fire and
next thing you know It's out. It's

371
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:33,359
everywhere.
And And so for a resident requesting a

372
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:38,720
permit, you still have to go through the
same process, just not pay,

373
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:43,184
» right? Because I think it spells out
that they can't burn very big pile.

374
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:45,204
» Okay.
[music]

375
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:55,720
» And and the fire chief would still
inspect the president, correct?

376
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,720
» Yeah.

377
00:35:55,839 --> 00:36:02,760
So
what I would suggest

378
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,760
is

379
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:11,079
that second sentence in section 3E
which say

380
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:17,520
that would just be removed from that
location.

381
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:23,119
And then at the very bottom of that
paragraph,

382
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:28,520
uh, users say the fee
for

383
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,520
commercial

384
00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:35,440
application would be $150.
So that just added at the end of that

385
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:40,720
instead of putting in the middle, we
just let it run all the way through. The

386
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:45,839
building permit must be obtained
from the fire from the fire department.

387
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:50,560
It could be 30 days. Side inspection was
performed by fire chief at least before

388
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:53,720
running
the season.

389
00:36:55,839 --> 00:37:05,280
Highly recommend all that age and then
the fee for commercial application would

390
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:09,839
be $150.
in commercial application being people

391
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:14,079
that do yard work.
Make a pile. Somebody's got all 10 acres

392
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:18,000
out here. They got a contractor that
comes in to clean up three or four

393
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:24,440
acres. Make a big pile out there wants
to burn it. That would be a feed there.

394
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,440
That would be commercial.

395
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:33,440
Yeah. I think well be commercial or
business. But I guess we said business

396
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:37,359
someone has say business or say
commercial.

397
00:37:35,839 --> 00:37:42,320
interchange
and

398
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,400
someone just had a private business and
I don't know what kind of business

399
00:37:43,706 --> 00:37:48,480
[music]
you learn

400
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:54,480
is there a business and they have a burn
that they not require permit

401
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:59,920
as a question
we don't forget and stuff all my stuff

402
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:04,640
they don't do lawn service so what I
have a feed and it's a pretty good size

403
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:08,560
p maybe 10 foot wide
But it's been there and I burn it when

404
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:15,760
it needs it. But I haven't burned it
lately. No, but I always have water.

405
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:20,720
I I don't see that as
much

406
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:25,839
here. For instance, out here on Bernro
Church, Brent Smith cleaned that lot up

407
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:30,079
for the house burned years ago, cleaned
it up. His brother's been praying stuff

408
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:33,200
up there for the last six or eight weeks
in Birmingham.

409
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:39,119
That's the kind of stuff they're trying
to stop. Uh that will not be allowed

410
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:43,520
there
at all. But if you're going to have a

411
00:38:41,839 --> 00:38:47,520
lot that you're going to continuously
bring products when you cleaned up 10

412
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:51,839
yards in town and you're going to take
it somewhere and wind up, then that

413
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:58,000
would be a commercial.
>> Okay. Uh so is the distinction someone

414
00:38:54,720 --> 00:39:02,880
moving the material? You said paint
gather material and move.

415
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:07,359
» Yes. I mean, so if I've got like you're
saying the church that's coming from

416
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:14,359
multiple locations just at the church
that's coming from multiple locations

417
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,359
over there

418
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:26,640
at multiple locations.
um

419
00:39:23,359 --> 00:39:32,680
that the the fee
for individuals gathering materials for

420
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,680
multiple location.

421
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:40,800
That way it would not be just if you got
a business or even if your commercial

422
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:45,760
location got a fire in your place, all
the materials coming off that one

423
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:50,599
location, then that's still no no fee.
But if the individual elect

424
00:39:59,359 --> 00:40:06,079
one person's home, we're not charging a
fee. If I'm burning everything at my

425
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:09,599
house, that's not charged. Just if I'm
getting stuff at my house, I go get

426
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:15,012
stuff at Bill's house, bring over my
house. asia.

427
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:18,280
He is collecting material from multiple
[music] locations

428
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:30,599
for burning
shall be under.

429
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:38,480
Does require a motion to amend section
3E

430
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:46,480
add to delete the purpose of the fee
will be and a fee for individuals

431
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:51,240
collecting material for multiple
locations or burning will be under

432
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,680
Second,

433
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,880
Senator

434
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:33,720

>> Yes.

435
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,720
» Yes. Daniel May

436
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:49,839

when Cal was reading it, he didn't um on

437
00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:53,920

whole [music] sentence there. You

438
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:58,000
stopped at uh ceremonial.
Uh, I know you want to keep that on

439
00:41:55,839 --> 00:42:03,440
record to go ahead on and, you know, say
the rest of that cuz you kind of skip

440
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:07,079
that part. C1 and C2, right? I think
that's going from

441
00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:12,599

smokers, fireplace, fire rings, wars.

00:46:54,960 --> 00:47:05,040
there. So you going to see a little bit
of slack, not a whole lot. Um we had uh

487
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:09,599
US Attorney Anthony Ross come down last
Tuesday. [music] He presented a

488
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:15,119
medallion to myself,
uh, Brassy, and Johnson. It was part of

489
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:19,280
the deal. He came out here before. They
just didn't have a medallion to present.

490
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:24,079
Um, you'll go to that half. The mayor
was talking about Johnson's got some

491
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:29,440
pictures of that medallion to post. He's
got a QR code scan and go back to your

492
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,920
phone. You got any readings?
>> No, sir. No, not tonight.

493
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:35,359
» Can you get some?
>> Yeah.

494
00:47:33,839 --> 00:47:38,720
» That's all I have. And then thank you
council for supporting the police

495
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:44,680
department.
>> Thank you. Thank you.

496
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,680
All right.

497
00:47:53,839 --> 00:48:00,440
I just got a little problem here
that I've got.

498
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:09,280
I've got a full duty
commercial right the side and there's

499
00:48:06,319 --> 00:48:17,520
somebody trying to live
utility and they got a camper parked in

500
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:22,960
front of it and just
for quite a while and I've actually had

501
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:29,839
two different
in my building that left

502
00:48:26,319 --> 00:48:34,000
and there's been several little things
going

503
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:37,440
We've got dogs that run
some other

504
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:40,440
bypass
just

505
00:48:40,559 --> 00:48:48,160
I'm told this table, but it's just never
gone anywhere. So, I don't want to come

506
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:52,880
in here tonight to ask your help to help
me get into this and see if we can do

507
00:48:50,319 --> 00:48:58,079
something about it.
Like I said, it's a commercial property

508
00:48:55,359 --> 00:49:04,720
and uh it's a very small property. My
dad sold this park. It used to be a

509
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:09,280
radio shack about 60 years ago. And uh
the property, the parcel is just

510
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:15,520
basically the size of the building. But
these people had put cars and stuff out

511
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:20,480
behind it. And for them to get to the
back of their build, their property,

512
00:49:17,359 --> 00:49:26,960
they have to drive on my property. So
I'm not happy with that. I've asked him

513
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:32,720
not to do it, but anyway,
we still got a problem.

514
00:49:29,359 --> 00:49:39,480
So, I'm asking you to help you. I think
solve this. I think it's a problem.

515
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:52,640
God believe
they're living in a They're living in a

516
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:57,359
property that has no utilities and no no
subs

517
00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:02,720
and the doors wide open all the time.
where the police sheriff's office has

518
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:09,200
been called numerous times because
they'll burn stuff out there and it's

519
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:14,559
right beside the restaurant and there
was been goes over there and the dogs

520
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:21,079
was going up to people that were driving
up to go in the restaurant just was just

521
00:50:18,079 --> 00:50:21,079
problem

522
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:28,960
they had a dog that had a leash on it
but the dog couldn't get any water so he

523
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:34,960
tried going up to the air conditioner
unit outside the restroom and his leash

524
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:38,880
got caught in the
mechanism

525
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:44,319
air conditioner. So anyway, they just
got a little problem. Did you say they

526
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:48,640
have to access their property? They go
through your property.

527
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:55,720
» Yes. No other route we can take. No.
Wow. I've got a picture of it

528
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,720
to understand it.

529
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,760
show you first.

530
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:15,119
See, this is the problem property that
we're talking about. This is mine.

531
00:51:12,559 --> 00:51:20,599
And for them to put their cars and stuff
back there, that's actually on board.

532
00:51:17,599 --> 00:51:20,599
Okay.

533
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,440
Here's

534
00:51:39,599 --> 00:51:43,960
a little better picture. A little bit
closer.

535
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:54,319
» This is their father. This is mine. This
is mine back there, too.

536
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:58,520
They're coming in here. They come across
me there.

537
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:05,000
And this is the rest where the father
always

538
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,559
been there.

539
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,400
I have

540
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:30,280
come over. I showed you before I picked
it with me.

541
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:30,280
I was like I had

542
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,000
this.

543
00:52:37,599 --> 00:52:47,000
This is the patio.
This is my building. This is the little

544
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:47,000
piece that sold in order

545
00:52:47,616 --> 00:52:49,636
[clears throat]

546
00:52:49,760 --> 00:53:00,040
to go around and then they got in front
of

547
00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:00,040
the All the words

548
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,240
you [music] know

549
00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:15,559
all

550
00:53:18,079 --> 00:53:22,040
night on the way up here.

551
00:53:30,079 --> 00:53:34,040
In order for them to get there

552
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,160
in there,

553
00:53:59,839 --> 00:54:02,839
picture.

554
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:23,040
I talked to the property owner and she's
86 years old, living a shared life, but

555
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:29,160
she knows what's going on [music] with
property.

556
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:29,160
people that are trying to live there.

557
00:54:42,897 --> 00:54:44,917
[music]

558
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,040
Thanks a lot. I appreciate all.

559
00:54:56,079 --> 00:55:05,200
Good evening, Mayor Council
House County. I come to you tonight. Um

560
00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:10,960
my corner room for 16 sales tax. The
sales tax will cover county roads and

561
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:15,520
share and solid waste, which is the
biggest thing that's helped. I mean, one

562
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:18,720
of the biggest things is our own things.
I don't know if y'all know or not, but

563
00:55:17,119 --> 00:55:26,400
from last year to this year, our
provider, which we changed, two years

564
00:55:21,599 --> 00:55:32,000
ago, but our contract went up to $60,000
for 100,000 per year.

565
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:37,359
Y'all split that a third with us to the
hospital.

566
00:55:34,319 --> 00:55:42,880
And that's going up $40,000. We we're
just crushing trying. I know y'all are

567
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:48,960
too. So this sales tax would, you know,
get passed, it would pull the burden off

568
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:54,000
of y'all from having to pay your part,
the hospital, and the county cuz the

569
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:59,040
sales tax will take care of this pay for
this ambulance service. Also, I talked

570
00:55:57,599 --> 00:56:03,200
to the ambulance service and we're
borderline having to add another

571
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:08,160
ambulance. Um, we have a lot of
transports now, especially with county

572
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:12,880
hospital being down. We're getting a lot
of lot of stuff at our hospital which is

573
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:18,319
great for us.
Joe can tell you more about that. But

574
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:23,200
just talking to the administrator
and

575
00:56:21,119 --> 00:56:27,280
it's really increased our volume going
up. And with this ambulance service, I

576
00:56:25,119 --> 00:56:31,440
know y'all y'all remember before this
company Valer before Valor came in, we

577
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:36,079
was lucky to get them to show up for a
call.

578
00:56:33,359 --> 00:56:40,720
And I'm all about my the people of this
county, this city. When they need an

579
00:56:38,319 --> 00:56:44,079
ambulance, it's there in a timely manner
and then take care of the issue. We've

580
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:49,200
heard nothing but good things on this
company. They're doing, as far as I

581
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:54,480
know, a fantastic job. I guess my thing
is is, you know, I'm here to kind of let

582
00:56:52,319 --> 00:57:01,119
you know that tax will take the burden
off of those three entities that pass to

583
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:06,160
take care of our family service. And
just just I I talked to Lauren over at

584
00:57:03,839 --> 00:57:12,960
911 today and she got me some numbers.
From June 1st to August 1st, the county

585
00:57:09,119 --> 00:57:18,160
had 38 calls. The city of Fort had 91
calls.

586
00:57:14,559 --> 00:57:25,440
Um totaling 129 calls.
So they're pretty busy. I mean, they're

587
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:31,359
daily they're making calls in the city
and in the county. So, I guess I'm just

588
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:35,440
here to kind of explain that part to you
and hope y'all support it because we

589
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:43,280
really need that to continue on. All
three entities are struggling as

590
00:57:37,359 --> 00:57:52,160
everyone knows. So, we put some sets on
the 1% sales tax countywide

591
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:56,799
um 70% going to the road, 30% going to
the other will be more than enough to

592
00:57:54,640 --> 00:58:03,280
cover them. I get that question asking,
"Well, the contract's $100,000.

593
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:10,319
Um, this will bring in roughly $350,
$360,000 a year." And the other two

594
00:58:06,319 --> 00:58:15,599
entities, this is not in any financial
at all. So, that should more than enough

595
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:19,079
cover it, which where if I go buy a new
today, it's $340,000,

596
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:25,920
which once y'all live in the city
limits, so that really doesn't won't

597
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:30,160
affect you. That's a new truck down the
road

598
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:35,520
and we'll fix the pay river
and I know you go there. You deserve

599
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:39,920
we're buying
for sale

600
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:45,040
if it's going for ammo service sheriff
department and sol

601
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:48,359
sheriff department is financially good.
>> I've been doing

602
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:55,440
the
>> the attorney said you could do this.

603
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:59,799
It's just in case they ever get in a
bind or anything happens.

604
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:12,000
I mean, the biggest thing I'm looking at
right up front if goes up anymore, the

605
00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:16,480
city can't pay no more, but this tax
will cover that. I know, but I'm I'm

606
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:20,960
telling you, the city cannot stand to
pay anymore to the ambulance. And I know

607
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:27,280
we need it, but I don't know where we
going to get this money. But if it would

608
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:34,040
benefit the animal service, yeah, I say
yes, we did it. But and I hope it it

609
00:59:30,319 --> 00:59:34,040
does help us out.

610
00:59:34,079 --> 00:59:44,799
Some y'all think we pay a lot of money.
We pay nothing for just Calvin County. I

611
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:50,079
believe it's 130 20,000 a year and they
have a glorified tax. They can't even

612
00:59:47,359 --> 00:59:54,480
start out. All they can do is teach you
the option. I mean they and that's what

613
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:58,880
we were getting before we had this
company out because the company we had

614
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:02,480
before would do transports out of
Elorado to Little Rock or wherever and

615
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:07,200
they called in Ken County if we needed
one. Now we have an ambulance in Dallas

616
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:12,799
County at all times unless it does a
transport for Dallas County and if it

617
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:17,839
does they send a backup and normally if
it don't come to a Dallas County medical

618
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:21,520
center it's station.
So there may be and usually if it's a

619
01:00:19,839 --> 01:00:28,720
transport they don't even it's not
critical they don't leave the hospital

620
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:32,799
until that ambulance is in the county
and things have picked up picked up

621
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:38,319
tremendous you know the hospital I
noticed Kim did last week they laid off

622
01:00:35,599 --> 01:00:42,720
they over 40 employees and they're doing
pretty bad so we're receiving patients

623
01:00:41,119 --> 01:00:47,520
from there people are coming to our
hospital rather than going away so

624
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:53,960
things have picked That's good for us.
>> It's a good thing for us, you know,

625
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,960
picked up a lot.

626
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:59,440
» Continuing the service.
>> Yes.

627
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:05,920
» And second part, I know they kind of
assumed what we were paying about. Are

628
01:01:02,799 --> 01:01:12,000
they planning on increase? I talked to
the owner and she said, "No, actually,

629
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:16,559
we're trying to get um cuts on because
of the transport hospital. I've talked

630
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:21,599
to other counties and we they're still
working on that contract. I have not

631
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:25,920
seen the new contract.
I told I told him I said we can't afford

632
01:01:23,359 --> 01:01:28,920
a warrant. We're we really can't afford
this.

633
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:43,160
I know we need a [music]
little bit but I know where our

634
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,160
we can't go.

635
01:01:43,839 --> 01:01:52,240
Well, then you're asking us to support
your 1% tax. One cent tax.

636
01:01:51,119 --> 01:01:59,787
I'm just going to take care of the
animal service 100% when you're not out.

637
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:01,920
I'm good deal. I'm good. I'm good. Do
[music]

638
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:07,520
we need to
>> I just brought it to you. Yeah. I just

639
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:14,119
brought it to you to talk.
All right. Thank y'all. Thank you.

640
01:02:11,119 --> 01:02:14,119
Anything

641
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,960
else?

642
01:02:23,839 --> 01:02:35,359
I was concerned about
where the uh truck route

643
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:41,119
way
truck route and they tell me that power

644
01:02:37,839 --> 01:02:46,160
street is no longer truck.
But I mean I wasn't aware

645
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:51,520
truck. Well, they had trucks all the way
in out of the gate over there in front

646
01:02:47,599 --> 01:02:57,280
of me. So I didn't know it was and there
was trucks all the way up and down the

647
01:02:53,760 --> 01:03:03,920
road and I noticed that the other day I
was offic second way.

648
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:09,119
I pulled out my
10

649
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:16,359
arrest
and had to run out tickets for

650
01:03:13,359 --> 01:03:16,359
truck

651
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:27,760
or whatever. I don't know. Anyway, I
know one of this story is I was trying

652
01:03:26,319 --> 01:03:34,520
to figure out why was the officer just
in my building waiting for me to leave

653
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,520
jail.

654
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:44,440
I mean the way I were talking
I mean the same [music]

655
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,440
I watch

656
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:48,520
a lot and I was over

657
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:56,880
like
I was trying to bring it to y but in the

658
01:03:54,640 --> 01:04:04,559
midst of all that
I went to jail I was

659
01:04:01,039 --> 01:04:10,880
driving off the throwway truck
my parents give me a 7:00. They told me

660
01:04:07,119 --> 01:04:19,440
that there was no 7:00. Well, following
that I'm still a

661
01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:22,880
learning there. They put by the child
for whatever reason, I don't know, but I

662
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:30,559
never left my property when I was
released. When I was released, I lost my

663
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:38,079
property. That's what tape off both
places. Remind you the 15th of July. My

664
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:45,280
Brian over there take on the jail. I'm
telling you, get out and stuff take up

665
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:50,079
my property. People was coming through
getting my stuff. You know, they was

666
01:04:47,599 --> 01:04:59,920
passing on passing on like this cherry,
but I couldn't pay bill.

667
01:04:54,720 --> 01:05:06,000
So, I'm working. I have means funds to
correct everything that's coming up on

668
01:05:02,799 --> 01:05:11,920
College Street. Me and my daughter,
we're homeless cuz I can't go to my

669
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:17,760
resident or my property cuz I I bought
material. I've been to homes. I spent

670
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:25,280
over $3,000 to remodel this house and
fix some houses which I was not able to

671
01:05:20,559 --> 01:05:32,319
for. So I'm like I'm back up against the
wall and I'm asking God to release the

672
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:36,039
condemning and let it go every
so that we can go home.

673
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:41,880
So move.

674
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:50,280
So this is personal. This is not about
the mess we are.
