[0:05] I'd like to bring all the right canning. We're developing authority, meeting to order. You know, the attorney knows the discretion. We have three whole minutes from August of 2026.

[0:19] I have a little good big emotion to put it.

[0:24] Second.

[0:25] All the figures say aye.

[0:28] Two little cold.

[0:31] And that's it for me.

[0:34] Chirping team.

[0:35] Here.

[0:36] Vice chairman Ford.

[0:38] Yes.

[0:38] I remember calling it here.

[0:40] I remember calling it here.

[0:41] I remember Mattis.

[0:42] I remember Sam's.

[0:43] I remember Wells.

[0:46] We

[0:54] do not have any financial reports for you today, we're still working on your reports

[1:03] in front of the whole business, so we've got a few shortings.

[1:11] So the new Park Signage V.O. did go out and inspect, that is complete, so that's good news.

[1:19] Would you have the landscaping for the two-mind with signs and talk about that under

[1:25] your business?

[1:26] The yeast management will continue in that monthly maintenance and then see in very

[1:32] few to no geese and with the towns that I go out there and run around.

[1:39] Waterway extension VDOT has accepted the road into their system all the week that you

[1:46] the board so it gets the privilege of maintaining it,

[1:52] and street lights on

[1:54] walkie-wag when I drove out into the park last week, they have not started

[1:59] closing the ground yet, but it looks like all the wiring is there, but that is still

[2:05] scheduled for completion. It takes that around September 19th, so we'll keep our

[2:10] fingers crossed on that one.

[2:15] I'm sure we've seen these three updates on just a few

[2:21] We were having a lot of shots with the removal of the tree and debris that was kind of in the back yard and on the side of the house that worked in some way.

[2:34] When we started last week, we did not finish and we're having to go back.

[2:40] So I need to just touch base and see where they think they'll be finished with that.

[2:45] In the last meeting, we discussed the sheriff's office using the rental house for some tactical

[2:52] training exercises once a week, and you all had to express some concern about waivers.

[3:01] Should anybody get hurt?

[3:06] to get a temporary used waiver agreement together sent that to the gentleman in the sheriff's

[3:14] office who is leading that training effort and just waiting for a whole sheriff to sign

[3:19] off on that so that they can begin their training.

[3:25] And just wanted to kind of bring this to your attention.

[3:28] And the house is sitting empty.

[3:31] It has not been occupied for a little over three years now.

[3:35] We have not had the air condition only.

[3:38] And so there's a little bit of mildew

[3:40] that we've discovered on the floor.

[3:43] The encapsulation system that's underneath

[3:45] is still running to keep the busher down.

[3:49] So that's something that we're going to have to think.

[3:52] Should we just have it toward them?

[3:54] Well, the property is on the contract, and so it's kind of open that, you know, by the

[4:03] tenant for that developer, then he'll close on the property that will be his issue to

[4:12] deal with.

[4:13] And I think they, you know, have wanted to use it as a construction office for, you know,

[4:19] when their work started.

[4:22] But as of right now there's no, we don't have a tenant, there's no definitive timeline

[4:31] for when closing with her, so it's just something for you to keep on that.

[4:37] We probably have spent more money to get somebody in there and we'd be worth the rent.

[4:46] Also within Phase 3, the 131 acres that Tim Hunt last year, our forestry managers, got us the contract documents to start that work.

[4:59] And so the aerial spring will be done later this month. So, Trinity Holland signage lands.

[5:07] So, the only landscaping that we're going to be doing is around the new monument sign, at 460 in Old Mill.

[5:14] and the Re-Face Morning Assign at Walden Way.

[5:17] This is never happening.

[5:19] Anyway, if you look at them just through the tree,

[5:21] the tree that were around it, we've been talking

[5:26] with community development.

[5:28] Initially, we thought we were gonna be removing seven trees

[5:35] and have to replace those trees.

[5:37] It's been determined that those trees are in,

[5:41] what is now be not right away,

[5:47] They don't require, you know, it does not require trees in the right of what they, and we

[5:52] already have enough vegetative buffer that's existing that we don't have to replace those

[5:58] trees.

[5:59] So that would be a call savings to the ADA.

[6:03] We'll remove, we'll just remove those seven trees that are, that's going to help improve

[6:08] visibility for the walkaway sign on a site plan in it to show the removal of the trees

[6:16] because the plan when it was originally submitted with the signs showed us

[6:23] removing and replacing trees but replacing them in front of the plant station which we found out

[6:32] if we can't do that anyway for security reasons like a lot of landscaping in front of

[6:40] So we're just doing a whole minor site plan to show the plan to remove the trees and not

[6:47] the place.

[6:49] And that is a packet that you have in front of you that shows the landscaping of the

[6:57] The sand grains are

[7:03] in the sand, so that

[7:11] we can see the old metal so the landscaping can

[7:19] go around a solar panel, and have a streamlined little bit, but not blocking.

[7:29] And then the sand will be wet and the sand will be wet.

[7:32] And this is calling out for trees.

[7:36] Or on the corn, we're taking all three of those.

[7:43] This is calling out the three trees on the southwest side of the Southeast.

[7:50] It's close to our 2 trees on the northwest side,

[7:57] moving these 4-3 perms in 3-2-5.

[8:03] We can actually see our views and the new lanes.

[8:14] Originally, when we started talking about signage and costs, we had an estimate for landscaping

[8:22] $8,900.

[8:25] Of course, we added industry, we're moving on to placement, so that won't cost that.

[8:30] So the original Bids, you can see where they were when we were talking about these before, but they were a little bit older.

[8:37] I'd gotten those spraying between February and October.

[8:42] So we wanted to get updated with it.

[8:45] So professional landstakes, opportunity came around $11,900.

[8:50] And Schultz came in at $15,000.

[8:52] We can install the namescaping for two monument signs within Shirley T. Holland Intermarital Park in the amount of $9,000 for our dollars.

[9:00] Sir, all in favor?

[9:02] All in favor?

[9:07] All right.

[9:07] Good job.

[9:09] What do you got?

[9:10] A.

[9:13] D. Director's report.

[9:18] So just wanted to update you on imminent milling and their A. D. Grant's closed out of that grant and the repayment that they required.

[9:26] $15,167, we did work out of five months' payment plan that everybody was agreeable to.

[9:36] They have been invoiced for the full amount and know that they owe $3,033.40 per month

[9:45] from the next five months until it's paid in January.

[9:48] questions

[9:55] before we move on from that. Just

[10:08] a couple of things on the marketing

[10:09] activity before in August. Staff attended the Hintero's Alliance Red Team

[10:18] meeting. I'm out on Maritime Trades Academy Board meeting. Chamber Board meeting.

[10:25] The annual tourism, celebration breakfast. Vita housing forum and impact ED

[10:31] the webinar and the VEDP, the EQ Virginia Brownfield's assistance on webinar.

[10:38] For the month of August, we had six prospects.

[10:42] We had 13 new business licenses, we had, for the year-to-date on business licenses,

[10:48] we had 147, not just 120, last year.

[10:53] We celebrated our ribbon-cutting, but the Chamber.

[10:57] In a close session for women in the purpose of a discussion concerning a prospective business

[11:02] or an expansion of an existing business experience, we've mainly project-freezed for no

[11:07] cleaning announcement has been made. The business is in for industries that are located

[11:12] and are expanding the facility and the community pursuant to subsection and poverty.

[11:47] You haven't had your vote.

[11:49] You still need to think about it.

[11:51] We got all the tables.

[11:53] All right.

[11:53] Okay.

[11:59] In other words, I'm going to need a motion to repeat the open section, so move.

[12:05] No, now roll.

[12:06] No, just record a little bit.

[12:07] Record a little bit, record a little bit.

[12:09] What?

[12:27] We need a motion survey to invest in each member's knowledge on the Public Business Matters.

[12:33] All things that could be done to meet an appointment, so the Public Business Matters is identified in the motion to move to the session we're hearing.

[12:40] Thank you.
