1
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,240
We'll call this meeting to order.

2
00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:44,920
All on our attorney for the invocation. Thank you, Mayor.

3
00:00:46,160 --> 00:01:00,120
Pray with me if you like. We do Lord, we give things for this day. Here in the middle of summer, we do ask for your blessings and watch fly with those impacted by the heat and by the recent storm.

4
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:07,800
And we just ask for your insight in Godence as we handle these matters here today ask always your name. I'm here and then I'd

5
00:01:09,850 --> 00:01:10,570
like to ask

6
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:13,850
Councilman Ryzen if he would lead us in the play to believe this

7
00:01:14,770 --> 00:01:15,330
I

8
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:24,480
pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which is saying

9
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:31,200
One nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all our

10
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:39,750
first item is retirees recognition

11
00:01:40,750 --> 00:01:45,430
Mr. Keith Jones, is it here in the house?

12
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:49,410
All right, Curly Locklear, all

13
00:01:52,290 --> 00:01:52,750
right then.

14
00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:57,150
Mr. Jones had 35 years, and Mr. Locklear had 10.

15
00:01:58,430 --> 00:01:59,870
We appreciate their service.

16
00:02:04,490 --> 00:02:08,530
The next item is called to present Mr. John Carroll with pride and

17
00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:15,430
I

18
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:27,240
like asking this Betty Kern, if she would to come up, as I do every month, because I

19
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,140
like to do it every month.

20
00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:34,940
We've initiated the Pride and London Community Appearance Award, and I actually received

21
00:02:34,940 --> 00:02:42,380
a nomination last month about Ms. Betty Kern, George, who has been so well-kept and so well-managed

22
00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:42,580
Thank you.

23
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:49,140
And we are so happy and so proud that we want to present this pride in Lumberton Community

24
00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:55,400
Appearance Award to her on behalf of the City Council and behalf of all of the staff

25
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,500
here with the City of Lumberton.

26
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,180
We appreciate everything that you do.

27
00:02:58,540 --> 00:03:03,140
You've expressed to me how your husband took so much pride in keeping the yard up and

28
00:03:03,140 --> 00:03:04,160
you have continued that.

29
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:11,560
And I just want to say thank you from me and from present three because we hope that others

30
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:18,480
We'll step up and take a little bit more initiative to make lunch and even more beautiful, and I want to present you this.

31
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:19,360
Thank you.

32
00:03:24,540 --> 00:03:25,960
Thank you so much.

33
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:30,780
Well, she's not here. It's Ms. Payton.

34
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,540
And she's not here this morning, so I'll present that to her.

35
00:03:35,860 --> 00:03:36,200
Thank you, Mayor.

36
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:47,340
Yes sir, we have Mr. Bruce Mullis.

37
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:53,660
If I could just respectfully remind everybody on the list, we have a three minute.

38
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,420
Morning Mayor and Council.

39
00:03:57,740 --> 00:04:02,600
Bruce Mullis, 5,000 white drive in Lumberton, I just wanted to kind of give a brief update on

40
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,460
the successful season that Lumberton Youth Baseball Association had this summer in conjunction

41
00:04:08,460 --> 00:04:14,480
with our Recreation Department. We hosted 23 teams this regular season from

42
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:21,260
ages 5 to age 15. We had five all-star teams that participated in postseason

43
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:28,000
play during our tournament for our eight and nine-year-old kids that played in

44
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,180
Elizabeth Town. They won the Sportsmanship Award.

45
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:39,040
D-Y-B actually is more more proud of a sportsmanship award recipient almost

46
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,720
and they are the tournament winner. So we were very proud of our kids and our

47
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,180
coaches and fans. Our six-year-old team, our five-and-six-year-old team also won

48
00:04:49,180 --> 00:04:53,420
the sportsmanship award. That was during the tournament that we hosted the

49
00:04:53,420 --> 00:05:05,440
WIBA hosted this year, we hosted a five and six year old state coach pitch state tournament, June 10th through the 13th out at Northeast Park.

50
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,020
We were the host of that tournament.

51
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:23,180
I noticed that Mr. Arnold West was in the audience just wanted to make a comment that we during that tournament we had about 140 plus or minus hotel room nights as a result of hosting this state tournament.

52
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:52,300
The state director has actually stated that she wants us to be the permanent site for this so we'll have to take that under consideration because you know there is a lot of volunteer hours and involved in that but we were very proud of to be able to host that tournament once again or host that tournament as we've hosted many state tournaments in the past and been extremely successful but but really proud that we had the hotel room nights and visitors coming in to lumber 10 and spending their money here everything went great out of the ball fields

53
00:05:53,820 --> 00:06:00,300
Our 13 and 14 and 15-year-old kids played Dixie Boys, which they play on a regulation-size

54
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:01,180
field 60-90.

55
00:06:01,380 --> 00:06:06,960
So they participated this year on field number five, and our 14-year-old team went to

56
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,300
Town Creek and actually won the state tournament.

57
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:17,160
So they will actually be leaving tomorrow to go to Stirlington, Louisiana to represent North

58
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,680
Carolina in the World Series and the DBB World Series.

59
00:06:21,140 --> 00:06:27,220
So, we're extremely proud of those kids and going to represent Lumberton in the state of

60
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:29,080
North Carolina this week coming up.

61
00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:34,480
So, I just wanted to give you all that update, a recreation department and us, L-Y-B-A continue

62
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,040
to have a great working relationship and we have a lot of support from the city and from

63
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,900
the community and from many of you.

64
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:41,880
So, we thank you for that.

65
00:06:42,140 --> 00:06:44,700
And like I said, I just wanted to present that good news.

66
00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:49,080
We felt it was really good news to share, so we wanted to do that this morning, so thank

67
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:49,260
you.

68
00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:51,240
Thank you sir. Thank you mayor.

69
00:06:54,710 --> 00:07:05,150
Our next presenter Mr. Wade Green is going to

70
00:07:05,150 --> 00:07:13,930
present our audit to us. Thank you Mr. Mayor Council. This I guess you've got a

71
00:07:13,930 --> 00:07:19,110
copy this is last year's audit. LGC is finally happy that they love to check

72
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:25,350
get to this but anyway they're happy. I got my love presentation I'll go over this kind

73
00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:32,050
of hit the high spots if you would. With that being said if you just flip over to page 2 in it

74
00:07:38,060 --> 00:07:43,800
your assets and your deferred outflows of resources exceeded your liabilities and deferred

75
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:50,580
inflows of resources over 103 million dollars. Your net position or net income if you will

76
00:07:50,580 --> 00:07:55,680
increase by 8.9 million. That's the full or cruel basis. That's the first two

77
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,080
statements in the financial. That's really not how you keep your books. That's

78
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,300
cash basis and that's the rest of them. But any questions on that one, that's

79
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:12,900
full or cruel. If not the next one, your general fund, your revenues are 30 million

80
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:25,220
In 1996, your expenses, 34,694 revenues over expenditures, minus 4,597,000 to General

81
00:08:25,220 --> 00:08:27,680
Fund, like a 4.5 million in the whole.

82
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:32,580
Does you see your revenues and expenses went up for the year?

83
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,660
On the next one, fund balance available, cash in the bank after you pay your bills.

84
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,900
You're in, you had $7,566,000.

85
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,400
You were 8.2 million last year.

86
00:08:47,820 --> 00:08:48,840
It went down some.

87
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,360
But if you'll take this 7.5 million divided

88
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,180
by the prior charts expenses,

89
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,100
you get the next one, the percentage.

90
00:08:56,660 --> 00:08:58,780
This is the one the LGC likes to look at.

91
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:02,280
You're at 21.81%.

92
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,260
LGC would say 75% is excellent shape,

93
00:09:06,260 --> 00:09:10,320
but most towns 20 to 40% tend to be par,

94
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,960
so you're just still in good shape in your general fund.

95
00:09:14,540 --> 00:09:16,040
Any question about your general fund?

96
00:09:17,780 --> 00:09:20,560
If not the next one, you're light and power fund.

97
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:29,980
Revenue's $35,751,000, expenses $36,408,000,

98
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:34,020
net loss $657,000 or $44,000.

99
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:41,580
As you can see last year you had a lawsuit to me in nine this year 657,000

100
00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:48,320
The next one is probably the negative in this your life your fund balance available. You're at a minus

101
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,960
370,000

102
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:51,800
100

103
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:56,640
370,000 one one seven now within that

104
00:09:57,180 --> 00:10:01,440
This is from a grant that this city paid past paid old expenses

105
00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:05,860
but you've got about four million dollars owed to your year end, you just

106
00:10:05,860 --> 00:10:09,400
haven't gotten it yet. If you had four million, that would be a positive

107
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,160
but you haven't gotten it yet. So at June 30th, like I said, it's a negative

108
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:20,340
$370,000. The next one is the percentage, zero percent. It's probably something

109
00:10:20,340 --> 00:10:25,840
else you see may have wrote you up for it, but when the four million comes in,

110
00:10:27,970 --> 00:10:32,730
you

111
00:10:42,430 --> 00:10:52,140
The next water and sewer fund, revenues over 17 million, your expenses 14 and a half

112
00:10:52,140 --> 00:11:02,040
million, revenues over expenditures to 2,512,000, as you can see at 287,000 loss last year,

113
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,000
positive two and a half million this year.

114
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,720
Fund balance available, $12,578,000.

115
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,980
It was delivered 10 million last year,

116
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,100
so your fund balance available went up.

117
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,380
The percentage, your 86.26 percent,

118
00:11:21,060 --> 00:11:22,520
you were at 68, well like I said,

119
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,700
it's 75 percent.

120
00:11:24,020 --> 00:11:26,060
It's the actual numbers, so your good shape,

121
00:11:26,260 --> 00:11:26,880
order and so on.

122
00:11:29,260 --> 00:11:32,120
Your sanitation fund revenue,

123
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,460
two million six hundred fifty eight thousand. Spence is over two million one

124
00:11:37,460 --> 00:11:41,960
hundred and seventeen thousand net ink. I mean on revenues over it's

125
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:47,040
fences five hundred forty thousand six seventy four. As you see it's had

126
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:53,180
positive cash flows that last year. Anyway the fund balance available eight hundred

127
00:11:53,180 --> 00:11:58,300
sixty thousand two fifty. It was fourteen last year. It was almost doubled from

128
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:09,680
prior year. The percentage, 40.62 percent. It was 14.99 last year, so they were going up.

129
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:21,500
The next one, just total cash, your governmental, you had a 10.9 million dollars, your enterprise

130
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:23,920
funds, 17.6 million.

131
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,500
The governmentals went down a little bit, but your enterprise funds went up.

132
00:12:30,260 --> 00:12:33,180
As you see, it's still been kind of going up over the past three years.

133
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:37,510
And that's when the long-term debt

134
00:12:38,830 --> 00:12:47,730
governmental, 56 million, 332 thousand, and 15 million, 284, in your enterprise funds. This year,

135
00:12:47,930 --> 00:12:52,770
we put up sick leave, something else being on the books, but now we have to put them on the books. So sick leave,

136
00:12:52,770 --> 00:12:59,070
I think it is in that and it's a pretty good size number so I'll tell you won't pay it

137
00:12:59,070 --> 00:13:04,750
paper for a tire and put it to the retirement for years of service etcetera but it's

138
00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:05,250
included.

139
00:13:07,310 --> 00:13:14,170
Any questions on long-term debt? The next one is just your current tax levy for

140
00:13:14,170 --> 00:13:17,850
The current year, 12 million, 882 thousand.

141
00:13:18,430 --> 00:13:21,790
It was 11 million, 456 thousand last year.

142
00:13:22,130 --> 00:13:24,550
See taxes, what a million for from prior years.

143
00:13:28,390 --> 00:13:33,430
The next one, your collection rate, 94.83% total,

144
00:13:34,550 --> 00:13:38,570
94.27, real and personal, and 100% motor vehicle.

145
00:13:39,370 --> 00:13:41,350
I was saying the southeast, these counties down here,

146
00:13:41,490 --> 00:13:44,210
93% are higher, 10 to be good.

147
00:13:44,210 --> 00:13:47,030
unless you're at the beach, they tend to bail us a hundred percent.

148
00:13:47,410 --> 00:13:50,550
So anyway, that's a good rate, 94.8, 3.

149
00:13:52,990 --> 00:13:57,430
With that, that kind of hits all the hotspots, especially ones LGC likes to look at.

150
00:13:58,250 --> 00:14:03,090
But this is last year's old at now, 6.35, 7.26.

151
00:14:04,890 --> 00:14:06,490
Any questions, comments?

152
00:14:12,590 --> 00:14:14,950
Man, you got anything to add to that?

153
00:14:15,090 --> 00:14:15,750
Thank you.

154
00:14:17,930 --> 00:14:17,990
Thank you.

155
00:14:18,030 --> 00:14:23,870
We'll see you.

156
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:30,430
Here.

157
00:14:30,430 --> 00:14:31,410
Thank you.

158
00:14:33,070 --> 00:14:33,550
Mayor.

159
00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:39,510
Could the city manager tell the audience why LGC stands for so that they might understand?

160
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Sure.

161
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,460
Well, now what?

162
00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:43,980
LGC's Food?

163
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,880
We share with the audience while LGC stands for.

164
00:14:47,140 --> 00:14:48,300
We refer to LGC.

165
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,020
You're right.

166
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:49,860
Go ahead.

167
00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:50,660
Through you are all.

168
00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:51,340
I

169
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:16,100
LGC, a local government commission, they have oversight on our financing, they review our audit. And basically, before we can proceed, in this year we have to submit everything, get it approved by them. We were taken off of the watch list last year with our financing, and I think we're all this year also.

170
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:18,420
of the state.

171
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:18,860
Thank you.

172
00:15:26,380 --> 00:15:26,980
Thank you.

173
00:15:30,060 --> 00:15:31,000
Thank you.

174
00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:32,100
Thank you.

175
00:15:32,180 --> 00:15:32,440
Thank you.

176
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:39,030
This is a motion to accept all the.

177
00:15:39,810 --> 00:15:48,110
Make a motion to accept the audit but for the year 2,025, we have that's presented by the green

178
00:15:48,110 --> 00:15:48,570
company.

179
00:15:48,890 --> 00:15:49,190
Second.

180
00:15:49,890 --> 00:15:50,910
Motion on a second.

181
00:15:50,910 --> 00:15:52,430
All those in favor, please say aye.

182
00:15:52,650 --> 00:15:52,830
Aye.

183
00:15:53,710 --> 00:15:53,990
Opposed?

184
00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:54,490
Yeah.

185
00:15:54,490 --> 00:15:58,710
I have to do the public hearing.

186
00:16:01,630 --> 00:16:05,350
Next we'll move to category five public hearings.

187
00:16:08,780 --> 00:16:13,520
Madam Clerk, would you like to read the affidavit for item A, L, Catee,

188
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Resonings on all the draw?

189
00:16:15,780 --> 00:16:17,680
This is a continued public hearing.

190
00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:23,900
OK, so the affidavit was read at the initial presentation.

191
00:16:24,540 --> 00:16:24,820
OK.

192
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,360
Got the question.

193
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,380
Good morning.

194
00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:30,100
Mayor members of Council and staff.

195
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:36,380
Mr. Alcatheav is requesting to rezone two properties located at 2906 Olive Drive.

196
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:46,320
The parcel numbers are 3218-01008 and 3218-0100801.

197
00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:52,380
On February 9th, Mr. Alcatheav asked Council to table this request to allow him to submit

198
00:16:52,380 --> 00:16:53,340
more information.

199
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:59,060
Council voted to send this request back to the planning board on June 8th for further review.

200
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:03,440
Attached in your packet is the additional information that was submitted to us.

201
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,940
The planning board held the public meeting on June 16th and unanimously recommended that

202
00:17:07,940 --> 00:17:09,520
Council approve the final draft.

203
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,820
The planning staff and planning board asked Council to hold today's public hearing and

204
00:17:13,820 --> 00:17:14,800
approve this request.

205
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:15,960
Thank you.

206
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:24,320
Thank you, we'll open the public hearing, this is a legislative matter so we don't need

207
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,880
to swear anybody in with the applicant like to be heard on the matter.

208
00:17:36,170 --> 00:17:43,050
Mayor Council Larry Anderson with Anderson Engineering, Ms. Laney has limited my time today

209
00:17:43,050 --> 00:17:49,070
and as well as the fact that you have an excellent staff that has covered you with great package

210
00:17:49,070 --> 00:17:50,050
and great information.

211
00:17:50,050 --> 00:17:59,470
So, I won't go through my field, we have a good, good project here, a bit great access,

212
00:17:59,990 --> 00:18:07,210
access, access, it'd be a big benefit to our precincts that way.

213
00:18:08,730 --> 00:18:16,730
Gentlemen are going to put a lot of money into a fixed asset project, it's going to generate

214
00:18:16,730 --> 00:18:20,530
revenue for the city be good for the community.

215
00:18:22,290 --> 00:18:27,950
We did do a preliminary site plan, send your package, and be glad to try to answer any

216
00:18:27,950 --> 00:18:30,730
questions that may be generated from that.

217
00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:34,850
Or if you've got any questions overall, I'll be glad to try to answer that.

218
00:18:36,350 --> 00:18:38,410
We'd like for you to review the package.

219
00:18:39,450 --> 00:18:40,230
No questions?

220
00:18:41,150 --> 00:18:44,890
Sound the document and let us go to the next step, which is site development.

221
00:18:45,450 --> 00:18:45,770
Thank you.

222
00:18:45,770 --> 00:18:51,630
have a question for you. Yes sir. For our early conversation, you did say there

223
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:55,770
would be a road access off of West Drive instead of traffic going on all the

224
00:18:55,770 --> 00:19:01,890
drive. Yes sir. Yes sir. We've looked at the traffic. We've got a three-throwed

225
00:19:01,890 --> 00:19:08,110
two three-throwed entrances and exits off of Fist Street. We have service

226
00:19:08,110 --> 00:19:13,830
equipment that will be exiting to the, I guess that will be to the south on to West

227
00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:21,750
drive and then on to West Fifth Street. We have segregated this entire

228
00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:29,110
track of lands three acres or so from olive drive altogether. So we've created

229
00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:35,550
or planned to create buffers of 20 foot buffer along olive drive as well as a

230
00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:41,930
six foot OPEC fence on the east side of our property. I've had some concerns from

231
00:19:41,930 --> 00:19:48,550
the red simulator. One of the concerns was their concerns was a vape shop or a skill

232
00:19:48,550 --> 00:19:57,210
game activity. Well, anything, that big thing. And with the owners, be willing to work

233
00:19:57,210 --> 00:20:01,190
with lower enforcement because we have some issues everywhere with some homeless and

234
00:20:01,190 --> 00:20:05,870
stuff. You do. It's a vague any going on in. And some of the neighbors feel like it would

235
00:20:05,870 --> 00:20:11,590
be to be in a fit. They feel better about it. If they have a lower enforcement presence

236
00:20:11,590 --> 00:20:16,410
to see if there may be some new transpastions signs to give the law enforcement authorization

237
00:20:16,410 --> 00:20:18,570
to do what they need to do to handle on some of those issues.

238
00:20:20,170 --> 00:20:26,910
Councilman, these folks are putting several millions of dollars into this project and would

239
00:20:26,910 --> 00:20:33,810
welcome any help and are willing to work with whatever agency they need to to ensure that

240
00:20:33,810 --> 00:20:35,610
that asset is protected.

241
00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:37,270
Thank you, sir.

242
00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:45,770
there. Yes. Excuse me, Eric. On the safe side. Would you like to add those conditions?

243
00:20:46,170 --> 00:20:52,430
I would definitely. You'll approve. We'll definitely have those. It was going to be my next

244
00:20:52,430 --> 00:20:53,530
step there willing to.

245
00:20:56,910 --> 00:21:01,790
I'm representative. Don't have the final say so. I'm sure of those

246
00:21:01,790 --> 00:21:11,410
that both the clients, both the honors would be more than welcome to. I don't see any

247
00:21:11,410 --> 00:21:15,170
I'm here, but I'm entering to that agreement.

248
00:21:15,570 --> 00:21:17,050
I wouldn't, I don't think there will be a problem

249
00:21:17,050 --> 00:21:19,530
with that being attached to any kind of,

250
00:21:19,610 --> 00:21:21,570
any kind of approval recommendation.

251
00:21:22,410 --> 00:21:23,250
Art, Ms. Arbor.

252
00:21:23,470 --> 00:21:25,090
Yes, I need to say something about that real quick.

253
00:21:25,310 --> 00:21:25,490
Okay.

254
00:21:26,930 --> 00:21:29,330
So if we're going to add conditions to the rezoning,

255
00:21:29,330 --> 00:21:30,850
we have to convert this application

256
00:21:30,850 --> 00:21:32,830
to a conditional rezoning application.

257
00:21:33,510 --> 00:21:35,590
So that's the only way that we can add conditions.

258
00:21:35,670 --> 00:21:37,570
And of course, they would have to approve the conditions.

259
00:21:38,910 --> 00:21:39,470
Thank you.

260
00:21:39,470 --> 00:21:41,450
and would it have to come back?

261
00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:42,590
One point before you could do that.

262
00:21:43,470 --> 00:21:44,330
You could come back?

263
00:21:44,750 --> 00:21:45,410
Yes, it would.

264
00:21:45,610 --> 00:21:45,970
Yeah.

265
00:21:46,670 --> 00:21:47,350
Yes, it would.

266
00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:49,650
I mean, if you had someone here

267
00:21:49,650 --> 00:21:52,770
that could consent to that, probably go forward.

268
00:21:52,830 --> 00:21:54,310
Yeah, because we could do the application.

269
00:21:54,310 --> 00:21:55,270
That is not an issue.

270
00:21:55,450 --> 00:21:57,250
But the property owner would have

271
00:21:57,250 --> 00:21:58,310
to be here to consent.

272
00:22:00,270 --> 00:22:01,470
We're looking for your next committee.

273
00:22:01,830 --> 00:22:01,990
Could.

274
00:22:03,370 --> 00:22:05,270
What time frame are you all looking?

275
00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:07,530
It may be trying to get this up and going.

276
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,860
I think our next meeting will be until September, I believe.

277
00:22:16,540 --> 00:22:22,320
Councilman Chavis, perhaps if we were to just table this to the end of the meeting and

278
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,400
he could maybe contact one of the property owners and get them to come between now and

279
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,140
the time we finish, we might be able to resolve this today.

280
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:40,020
I think the manager, he just had an ideal to do a conditional consent, add it in now at

281
00:22:40,020 --> 00:22:47,520
that motion if they will accept that. Okay, but if not, then we come back. Is that possible?

282
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:52,340
Mr. Attorney. Yeah, I mean, I guess you would basically approve it as a conditional

283
00:22:52,340 --> 00:22:57,800
rezoning with those items. You need to be specific, you know, what you're taking out. Um,

284
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:05,620
and then if the client ends up not being fine with that, we'll just revisit it and, um,

285
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:15,560
if he's fine, that would be the end. But we need to leave knowing exactly what those conditions

286
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,620
are. I understand it will be no vape shop. No. Yeah, because we already have two already

287
00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:29,180
over there. Right. So. And we have a skill machine across just a couple of hundreds of yards

288
00:23:29,180 --> 00:23:33,660
wafing their property. These are two of the main. I'm pretty sure I knew that 100 problems

289
00:23:33,660 --> 00:23:37,160
working a law enforcement or whatever it needs to be done but if we can get those two

290
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,640
items taken care of they have new problems. I personally don't see a problem with that.

291
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:52,080
These gentlemen have facilities within our community already and I don't believe they have

292
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:58,300
been problems or represented problem establishments. Would you like to contact them and we come back

293
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:01,120
I'll try to, you know, to meet and finalize it.

294
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:01,780
I'll try to.

295
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:02,500
Okay.

296
00:24:02,660 --> 00:24:08,860
So your concerns are vape shop, skill, skill game, skill game.

297
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:09,360
Yeah.

298
00:24:09,420 --> 00:24:11,140
And then what was the condition about?

299
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:17,240
Well, it would help if they would be willing to put some new trust past the signs that

300
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,820
we give law enforcement something to work with as far as hell, and well, I think I understand

301
00:24:21,820 --> 00:24:22,400
what you're saying.

302
00:24:22,580 --> 00:24:28,060
Law enforcement is kind of crippled unless there is a sign that's happened to me saying

303
00:24:28,060 --> 00:24:30,840
and no trespassing after hours or something similar.

304
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,620
I guess I run the documents of a friend-in-law enforcement

305
00:24:35,250 --> 00:24:37,400
after rising down is to act the front of that.

306
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,700
The other item, if I might raise it,

307
00:24:42,860 --> 00:24:44,320
not trying to beat up on the applicant,

308
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,420
but there's been a lot of discussion about the site plan.

309
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:50,480
And I think that was maybe a request of sorts

310
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:51,360
from the planning board.

311
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,720
We appreciate the applicant being willing to do that.

312
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,620
But if we passed it just the way you described,

313
00:24:57,620 --> 00:25:04,620
that site plan would not be legally binding at all so I don't know if you want to add that as the

314
00:25:04,620 --> 00:25:09,160
condition with minor changes being allowed by the planning department but I just wanted to

315
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:18,680
point that out. If I might interject council the site plan is nowhere near complete. The site plan

316
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:25,920
was marked a site plan for an exhibit. There are several permit processes and we have to go

317
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,220
through before that site plan is is appropriate.

318
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,000
There's one point out there's some key factors in there.

319
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,780
Like, no, it's on all the drive and things like that.

320
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,000
If you're banking on, you

321
00:25:40,010 --> 00:25:40,410
said that.

322
00:25:40,510 --> 00:25:42,030
Yeah, I think they already had that in place.

323
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:45,250
There's been Mr. Minneson had talked about that previously,

324
00:25:45,270 --> 00:25:53,710
so in fact, um, yes, but the buffer buffers, uh, and excludes access to all

325
00:25:53,710 --> 00:25:59,470
drive all right there's an existing two thousand square feet single family

326
00:25:59,470 --> 00:26:05,510
residents that's going to remain and it will be converted into an office it will

327
00:26:05,510 --> 00:26:10,990
be within that buffer right behind that buffer be accessed from the the

328
00:26:10,990 --> 00:26:17,670
shopping center and become part of the complex itself may be office for the

329
00:26:17,670 --> 00:26:18,170
development.

330
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:28,570
Sounds like we're going to maybe wait until the end of the meeting to take

331
00:26:28,570 --> 00:26:32,430
any action but my only point is you better put it in there as a condition if you want

332
00:26:32,430 --> 00:26:39,230
it or else it's just a handshake which is fine but I don't say I didn't tell you.

333
00:26:41,130 --> 00:26:45,510
If you can make contact with those and try to try. I would appreciate it.

334
00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:46,910
to adjourn that until a later point.

335
00:26:47,510 --> 00:26:48,790
Okay, thank you.

336
00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:49,610
Thank you, sir.

337
00:26:49,870 --> 00:26:50,130
Yes, sir.

338
00:26:50,890 --> 00:26:51,450
Anything else?

339
00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:55,330
Okay, before we adjourn it, just for the benefit of,

340
00:26:55,530 --> 00:26:58,410
is there anyone here, anyone else who would like to speak,

341
00:26:58,550 --> 00:27:00,410
because we hate for everybody else to have to wait

342
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:02,170
to the end if there's somebody.

343
00:27:02,790 --> 00:27:04,570
Anyone else here that speak on the project?

344
00:27:05,450 --> 00:27:06,310
I don't see anyone.

345
00:27:07,390 --> 00:27:08,350
Okay, all right.

346
00:27:08,410 --> 00:27:10,990
But I was the same as a plan board making

347
00:27:10,990 --> 00:27:12,510
we didn't have any opposition at all.

348
00:27:13,270 --> 00:27:14,370
Thank you, Mr. Amish.

349
00:27:14,370 --> 00:27:18,730
Yes, sir. All right, so that's on hold and we'll move to the next

350
00:27:20,130 --> 00:27:21,370
public hearing

351
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:36,740
I just had to say ordinance this is pertaining to the vehicular

352
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,820
Automated ordinance that correct. That's correct. Is there an affidavit for that?

353
00:27:43,580 --> 00:27:44,560
Yes, sir

354
00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:50,560
The affidavit of publication is from the Robert Stanley and it shows that on June 27th

355
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:57,040
July 4th and July 11th, 2026, notices were published here in B. Hill today.

356
00:27:57,660 --> 00:28:02,260
The purpose of the public hearing is to consider an amendment to the land use ordinance

357
00:28:02,260 --> 00:28:05,720
by creating an ordinance regulating automotive.

358
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:11,240
Thank you. Based on the research,

359
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:15,460
we have developed a draft ordinance that we believe is suitable for the city of Lumberton.

360
00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:20,860
The scope of the, excuse me, the scope of the amendment addresses various types of automotive

361
00:28:20,860 --> 00:28:26,320
of establishment and outlines general standards for all new and existing establishments.

362
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:33,840
It addresses automotive pain and body shops, automotive parts, sales, installation, repair

363
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:41,260
and service without pain and body, record services, auto detailing, car wash, tires, mounting

364
00:28:41,260 --> 00:28:47,020
transmission or muffler shops, and the additional provisions would be to provide one year for

365
00:28:47,020 --> 00:28:52,740
existing establishments to comply with these standards or face a $200 per day penalty.

366
00:28:53,580 --> 00:28:58,740
New salvage yards are prohibited in the special flood hazard areas unless a variance is granted.

367
00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:03,960
And all automotive establishments must comply with the broader city of Lumberton code.

368
00:29:04,980 --> 00:29:08,920
The planning board held the public meeting on June 16th and unanimously recommended that

369
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,520
council approve the final draft.

370
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,920
And the planning staff and planning board asked council to hold today's public hearing and

371
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,460
and approve the new ordinance regulating automotive establishments within the city's jurisdiction.

372
00:29:20,020 --> 00:29:20,580
Thank you.

373
00:29:21,340 --> 00:29:22,120
Thank you.

374
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,380
Open the public hearing.

375
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,500
Is there anyone that would like to be heard on this item?

376
00:29:32,770 --> 00:29:33,750
Close the public hearing.

377
00:29:33,870 --> 00:29:34,790
What's the pleasure of Council?

378
00:29:34,990 --> 00:29:35,630
I have a question.

379
00:29:37,090 --> 00:29:38,050
Dr. Kerstner.

380
00:29:38,390 --> 00:29:38,790
Yes, sir.

381
00:29:39,010 --> 00:29:45,210
On the item D on the last page is saying that it's got one year from the effective date of this new ordinance

382
00:29:45,830 --> 00:29:49,050
to change out the fencing, the screen.

383
00:29:49,890 --> 00:29:59,610
And it's all everywhere I read saying that it has to be wooden fence for the new, yes, because you all just approved the fence changes.

384
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,360
Okay, so the existing facilities that don't have those fences, what are we going to do there? Well, with the previous ordinance that we had approved, we're addressing that with that one. So we gave them 90 days to comply, but we really haven't started addressing it yet. What I'm doing is I'm sending our code enforcement officer around just to inform them of the ordinance again and let them know that, you know, they have some time to do so with their time limit is.

385
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:34,720
So once we do that first round and then if they haven't complied, then we'll go ahead and send a written notice

386
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:40,060
And then that's when the 90 days would start. Yeah, all over town. There's some unsightly places

387
00:30:40,060 --> 00:30:47,700
Pretty can see it not only from the front of the establishment from the side and so if they're gonna go to wooden fences

388
00:30:47,700 --> 00:30:56,240
Is that gonna be a burden for many of them? I guess to come up with that kind of a funds to to build those. Well

389
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,900
Well, yes, we just it could be for some of the businesses.

390
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:05,880
Yes, I don't know pretty sure it could be.

391
00:31:05,940 --> 00:31:08,440
Well, there certainly some places need to be addressed.

392
00:31:08,620 --> 00:31:09,040
Right.

393
00:31:09,420 --> 00:31:09,580
Yeah.

394
00:31:09,740 --> 00:31:14,600
The ones that we are mainly targeting is the it's not vinyl.

395
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,560
What is it that mesh material that they they use?

396
00:31:18,660 --> 00:31:18,840
Right.

397
00:31:20,060 --> 00:31:23,700
We're really addressing a lot of those because they get torn and they don't get replaced.

398
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:27,020
And they don't even do what it's supposed to do in that screen.

399
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,120
You can still see through them, along with the slats as well.

400
00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:33,840
You can still see through the plastic slats that go through the chain link fence.

401
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,140
So the intent of the ordinance is to make sure that it's completely screened.

402
00:31:38,180 --> 00:31:39,840
And those two do not do that.

403
00:31:40,540 --> 00:31:43,380
Like many ordinances, they're hard to enforce.

404
00:31:43,940 --> 00:31:44,240
They are.

405
00:31:44,340 --> 00:31:48,900
So just, you know, want to get everybody's opinion about that as well.

406
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:52,900
But there are some places need to be addressed very badly.

407
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:58,760
Yes, of course, no, one other question when it does say I would vent for a masonry wall

408
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:05,120
You know a lot of people are going with a vinyl dancing now. Would that be considered in that as well?

409
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:12,700
As long as it is opaque and you cannot see do it at all. It's the same. Yes, it'll fencing, but it's not wood. It's vinyl

410
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:18,980
That is perfectly fine. Okay. Yes, they can do that and this gives us the city of more

411
00:32:18,980 --> 00:32:21,720
for teeth, so to speak, to make things happen.

412
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,780
That is correct, yes.

413
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,560
I appreciate it.

414
00:32:26,180 --> 00:32:27,940
But very like the Councilman rises here,

415
00:32:27,940 --> 00:32:29,100
there are some places in Lombard,

416
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,740
and it really needs cleaning up or some heating.

417
00:32:37,870 --> 00:32:39,050
Oh, Trill, you talked just a little bit

418
00:32:39,050 --> 00:32:40,270
about enforcement provision.

419
00:32:41,130 --> 00:32:43,170
We have folks that they receive notices

420
00:32:43,170 --> 00:32:44,910
that they basically ignore the notices,

421
00:32:45,870 --> 00:32:49,470
nor the penalties kind of address enforcement with them.

422
00:32:49,970 --> 00:32:52,210
Okay, so like I said previously,

423
00:32:52,210 --> 00:32:55,550
just for that section, what we do is I'll send my

424
00:32:55,550 --> 00:32:56,950
code enforcement officer, Mr.

425
00:32:57,110 --> 00:33:01,590
Mons out there to verbally inform them that there's a

426
00:33:01,590 --> 00:33:05,590
violation and you know what needs to be done to be to

427
00:33:05,590 --> 00:33:09,090
correct it. Once after a certain period of time, then we'll

428
00:33:09,090 --> 00:33:11,330
send the written notice if it has not been done already.

429
00:33:12,010 --> 00:33:15,010
So after that is usually a week or two weeks depending on

430
00:33:15,010 --> 00:33:19,450
the extent and like I said, depending on the what needs to

431
00:33:19,450 --> 00:33:21,830
be done, we can kind of link them that time if we know

432
00:33:21,830 --> 00:33:27,030
was going to be more than two weeks. But if it doesn't comply by then, then we issue

433
00:33:27,030 --> 00:33:30,150
the monetary fine, which is the citations.

434
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,420
Or does it go from there or if they don't pay the fines?

435
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:39,720
If they don't pay the fines and comply, then it will go up to the city attorney for legal

436
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,080
actions.

437
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,100
And what would be the legal action, Mr. Oak? We need to put that out there right now.

438
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:53,320
Well, if I'm not mistaken, most of these fines are on a daily basis, is that wrong?

439
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:53,820
That's correct.

440
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,680
The time we get a court, we tell you what it is.

441
00:33:56,780 --> 00:33:59,160
Over all those days, it's usually $5,000,000.

442
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,780
So we'd be seeking to collect the fines.

443
00:34:02,140 --> 00:34:04,640
We'd be seeking an injunction from the court,

444
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:09,380
basically saying, Mr. Honor, you are enjoined from further

445
00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:11,300
a violation of our ordinance.

446
00:34:12,820 --> 00:34:14,500
And those are the main things.

447
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:16,360
And then just a declaration that they

448
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,840
are in violation of our ordinance.

449
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,740
So then the benefit of that injunction is now

450
00:34:20,740 --> 00:34:23,960
you've got the the judge breathed out their net you know it's like one thing you

451
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,760
want of them your nose at us but now if you violate it they're in contempt and

452
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:34,240
so forth so that would be that would be the plan. I guess what I'm looking at

453
00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:40,400
like we have people with skill games of arcade and we didn't did defines we didn't

454
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,280
did the court we didn't did the judgment we didn't went through the planning and

455
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,240
and stuff, and they're still operating.

456
00:34:47,740 --> 00:34:50,640
So with this, are we still going to be able to do anything?

457
00:34:51,260 --> 00:34:55,580
Well, Councilman, on that topic, planning Dr. Kirschner,

458
00:34:55,740 --> 00:34:59,420
Brian and I, Mr. Norley, we met last week

459
00:34:59,420 --> 00:35:02,300
to kind of say who's still operating on the gaming?

460
00:35:02,980 --> 00:35:07,100
And so their staff is going to go out and ascertain that.

461
00:35:07,340 --> 00:35:09,260
And then we want to talk with you all,

462
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,240
but our plan will be they would need to do some legalization

463
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:18,420
on those, you know, you know, because the most visible one has come in, you know, and

464
00:35:18,420 --> 00:35:20,640
applied for a special use, but it was denied.

465
00:35:21,620 --> 00:35:27,460
So, you know, and everybody's got eyes on them, and so we certainly don't want to reward

466
00:35:27,460 --> 00:35:28,800
the ones that didn't even come in.

467
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:33,960
So we're going to need to identify everybody that's operating and probably, you know, take

468
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,920
this same type of approach with them.

469
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,220
I wanted to, for that community, I know what he got.

470
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,860
Yeah, if you would like to give us a list, that'll be great as well.

471
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,460
We have a list, but we might be missing some.

472
00:35:47,300 --> 00:35:53,640
And would we need to increase our fines if the $200 a is not getting the message across?

473
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:55,460
So our-

474
00:35:55,460 --> 00:35:57,160
Probably not collecting any way, but-

475
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,040
No, they're not coming in to pay.

476
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:03,520
And even the ones that would come in to pay say, oh, we'll be happy to continue paying

477
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:03,980
the fines.

478
00:36:04,180 --> 00:36:06,300
If the continued operate, I tell them it doesn't work that way.

479
00:36:06,300 --> 00:36:08,760
you have to go ahead and shut down.

480
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,500
But our violations is $200 a day per violation.

481
00:36:13,780 --> 00:36:16,520
And we look at the machines as being a violation in itself.

482
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:19,300
So it can't get expensive.

483
00:36:19,620 --> 00:36:19,820
Okay.

484
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,600
I mean, I'm like, I'm like,

485
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,620
Councilor Canter, what we're doing just far is not working.

486
00:36:27,820 --> 00:36:27,960
Right.

487
00:36:29,340 --> 00:36:32,040
Another issue that kind of have us in a bind

488
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,300
is we don't know which machines

489
00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:35,540
North Carolina outlawed and which ones they don't.

490
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:41,840
So other than me being trained or us being trained on which one how to identify it

491
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,360
It's kind of difficult. So we kind of use it as just our

492
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,360
Ordnance electronic gaming period

493
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,100
One last question from me

494
00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:56,500
Since wrong gaming many of those tenants or those leases are

495
00:36:57,100 --> 00:37:06,280
Raining so who's responsible the the person who is renting the property and the landlord or both responsible or how does that work?

496
00:37:06,300 --> 00:37:11,680
okay so we can send the notices to the landlord and the tenant

497
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:17,420
ultimately it is the property owners responsibility to go in and shut them

498
00:37:17,420 --> 00:37:22,340
down so if they got to court and got to be in the city of Lumberton won the case

499
00:37:22,340 --> 00:37:27,320
and still didn't get it they didn't come in to do didn't pay it whatever we could

500
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:36,280
attach a lien to the property can we attach a lien to the property well it would have

501
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:42,480
And then you again have the junction from the court seems you got to stop stuff it goes far enough

502
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,720
It gets pretty serious. We would name them both, but really it's true from a zoning standpoint

503
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:50,680
You're mainly looking at the property owner, which might be an outener for those landlords

504
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:52,920
So

505
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,660
If we find the land lowest, I think it may move just a little bit quicker

506
00:37:59,420 --> 00:38:01,440
I think we're

507
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:07,860
saying hey I paid a fine because I'm making $5,000 per day. Okay but this landlord you know he's

508
00:38:07,860 --> 00:38:13,720
only getting $800,000 rent or $2,000 rent. Well I will share this we had a long discussion

509
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:20,360
with a fella in blatant accounting who was very involved in their enforcement efforts and he found

510
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,140
that in probably talking at a school but this is straight from his mouth that the landlord had a

511
00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:31,900
percentage. So it's a little different than you might expect. And I can't say that

512
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:36,880
may not be true for one single property. But that's what I've heard. They're getting

513
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:37,740
paid pretty good.

514
00:38:37,740 --> 00:38:38,560
I'll rest in my case.

515
00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:46,000
So, are there any other questions back on the automotive?

516
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,100
I forgot, that's where we've gone.

517
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:52,640
Yeah.

518
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:59,500
If not, I'd like to commend the planning department for doing such a fine job, because

519
00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:03,840
I've been getting a lot of calls in my area, and we're slow-moving about some of these automobile

520
00:39:04,940 --> 00:39:05,420
places.

521
00:39:05,420 --> 00:39:09,320
is in a, I'd like to come in here for, do you want a great job on getting this together

522
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,260
and, like I say, putting some teeth into it so we can make some things happen. And if

523
00:39:14,260 --> 00:39:16,640
anybody else will have anything to see, I'll make a motion to approve.

524
00:39:17,140 --> 00:39:18,720
I think we still need a public hearing.

525
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,540
I always do need to close the public here and if there's no further comments, so that's

526
00:39:22,540 --> 00:39:22,800
closed.

527
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,220
Thank you.

528
00:39:26,620 --> 00:39:27,660
I'll make a motion to approve.

529
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:28,400
Thank you.

530
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,160
I'll motion in a second.

531
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:31,560
All those in favor, please say aye.

532
00:39:31,820 --> 00:39:32,040
Aye.

533
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:39,080
I'll oppose, before we leave the public here, Mr. Anderson, do you have an answer?

534
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,880
I was thinking while we're still in public hearings before we all get caught.

535
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:43,700
Thank you, Councillor.

536
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,780
No, I do.

537
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:53,660
I was able to speak with the client, and he is, as I thought, very appreciative of that offer

538
00:39:53,660 --> 00:39:56,380
with the law enforcement, absolutely no question.

539
00:39:57,100 --> 00:39:59,440
He has no plans for a vape shop.

540
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:04,940
He has no plans for a gaming facility.

541
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:11,500
So your request and conditions are totally acceptable to the client.

542
00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:16,240
So we need to make any changes Miss.

543
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,220
Well, what you want to get out of this is up to you.

544
00:40:25,220 --> 00:40:28,180
I know the issue with all the drive has been discussed

545
00:40:28,180 --> 00:40:29,100
at some length.

546
00:40:29,780 --> 00:40:32,420
If that's something that you absolutely want to happen

547
00:40:32,420 --> 00:40:34,280
and that probably needs to be in there.

548
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,900
And the buffer, you know, at least those aspects

549
00:40:37,900 --> 00:40:38,480
of the site.

550
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,940
Now, the buffer is, there's already

551
00:40:40,940 --> 00:40:42,160
a requirement of the zoning order.

552
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:43,840
All right, so that's not necessary.

553
00:40:44,460 --> 00:40:47,560
Now, the access to West Drive, there's no problem with that.

554
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,160
That can be a condition without question.

555
00:40:51,730 --> 00:41:02,530
There are 3 or 4 existing curb cuts on all of the drive that enter these 2 residential

556
00:41:02,530 --> 00:41:03,110
lots.

557
00:41:03,410 --> 00:41:06,450
The residential lots today that we're trying to reason.

558
00:41:07,190 --> 00:41:14,070
Those will stay in place, but the buffer, the 25th buffer will be there to eliminate any

559
00:41:14,070 --> 00:41:14,390
access.

560
00:41:14,730 --> 00:41:14,890
Right.

561
00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:21,590
But, yes, sir, without question, that's not a problem, no, so that's maybe a good condition.

562
00:41:21,590 --> 00:41:22,790
Thank you, sir.

563
00:41:23,110 --> 00:41:23,430
Yes, sir.

564
00:41:24,050 --> 00:41:24,850
Anything else?

565
00:41:25,510 --> 00:41:25,750
Okay.

566
00:41:26,190 --> 00:41:26,790
That's it.

567
00:41:27,210 --> 00:41:34,610
So it would be to change it to a conditional reason and with the conditions being no vaping

568
00:41:35,350 --> 00:41:40,350
establishments, no electronic gaming, no access on our drive.

569
00:41:40,390 --> 00:41:42,450
I think that was already in place, weren't it?

570
00:41:42,530 --> 00:41:42,650
Correct.

571
00:41:42,830 --> 00:41:44,730
The access was already in place, weren't it?

572
00:41:45,710 --> 00:41:46,590
Yes, sir.

573
00:41:46,990 --> 00:41:47,770
That was discussed.

574
00:41:47,770 --> 00:41:56,210
That was part of our study and our development of the preliminary site plan that is attached, which is absolutely not the final site plan.

575
00:41:56,750 --> 00:41:58,830
All the drive is the one behind it, right?

576
00:41:58,870 --> 00:42:00,370
That's the resident you drive, that's Chris.

577
00:42:00,530 --> 00:42:02,070
That's the one you don't want to access.

578
00:42:02,530 --> 00:42:04,950
Yeah, that's some of the concerns of the residents.

579
00:42:06,330 --> 00:42:09,530
I'm still not quite clear why we want that as a condition.

580
00:42:10,130 --> 00:42:11,650
I'm not talking about less drive, that's.

581
00:42:11,650 --> 00:42:16,310
No, we're talking to head talk one time about coming off a west drive and going in behind

582
00:42:16,310 --> 00:42:18,470
Burger King using this and it's going to you.

583
00:42:18,590 --> 00:42:19,370
Is that okay?

584
00:42:19,610 --> 00:42:19,830
Yeah.

585
00:42:20,290 --> 00:42:20,730
Okay.

586
00:42:20,950 --> 00:42:22,170
So west drive is okay.

587
00:42:22,530 --> 00:42:23,510
We don't need to prohibit that.

588
00:42:23,790 --> 00:42:23,930
No.

589
00:42:24,030 --> 00:42:24,550
No, no, no.

590
00:42:24,830 --> 00:42:25,150
Okay.

591
00:42:25,250 --> 00:42:28,330
But that was just concerns about a large traffic going down in all of driving.

592
00:42:28,470 --> 00:42:35,510
And we're doing all have any condition, any concerns over limiting or excluding access to

593
00:42:35,510 --> 00:42:35,950
all of drive.

594
00:42:41,630 --> 00:42:43,690
and no access on all the drive.

595
00:42:43,990 --> 00:42:44,250
Yes, sir.

596
00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:44,710
Okay.

597
00:42:45,050 --> 00:42:48,110
That would be the motion to approve as a conditional zone

598
00:42:48,110 --> 00:42:49,090
or with those conditions.

599
00:42:49,650 --> 00:42:51,930
And we're starting to point with the police before.

600
00:42:52,050 --> 00:42:52,210
Yeah.

601
00:42:52,350 --> 00:42:52,850
I think we're on the right.

602
00:42:53,130 --> 00:42:53,510
Okay.

603
00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:54,770
He was excited.

604
00:42:55,930 --> 00:42:57,530
He was excited about that.

605
00:42:57,890 --> 00:42:59,170
That's not a condition, right?

606
00:42:59,410 --> 00:43:00,410
That's just okay.

607
00:43:01,050 --> 00:43:03,270
That's not really a condition, but I think they work with them.

608
00:43:03,630 --> 00:43:03,750
Yeah.

609
00:43:03,990 --> 00:43:04,930
That's to their benefit.

610
00:43:05,130 --> 00:43:05,250
Yeah.

611
00:43:05,990 --> 00:43:06,710
That a bit of.

612
00:43:06,730 --> 00:43:08,250
I didn't want to trust passing signs.

613
00:43:08,350 --> 00:43:09,010
I can take that off.

614
00:43:10,770 --> 00:43:14,610
They're going to have to have their trespassions and give the law enforcement

615
00:43:14,610 --> 00:43:22,390
authorization to do what they need to do. I think that's part of the process

616
00:43:22,390 --> 00:43:28,710
for my understanding. So we're going to convert it. We're going to convert it

617
00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:34,530
to a conditional rezoning with no vape shops, no electronic gaming and no access

618
00:43:34,530 --> 00:43:41,830
us to all of drive. Right. Okay. I got it. Thank you so much. So what we can do, um, once they submit,

619
00:43:42,070 --> 00:43:47,670
since this is all on record, um, I think can we go ahead and approve it that way? And then they

620
00:43:47,670 --> 00:43:51,950
just submit us the application. I'll go ahead and write it up that way. I mean, my thinking on that is

621
00:43:51,950 --> 00:43:56,370
the public has been aware of the rezone request and all you're doing is scaling it back. Yeah.

622
00:44:02,530 --> 00:44:02,890
I'm

623
00:44:02,890 --> 00:44:06,650
make a motion to approve of the public hearing from earlier okay close to

624
00:44:06,650 --> 00:44:14,990
public hearing I'll make a make a motion to approve with the added terms that

625
00:44:14,990 --> 00:44:21,390
we just added as far as the interests and as a motion the second is all in

626
00:44:21,390 --> 00:44:31,610
favor thank you thank you that's all the public hearing thank you so much for

627
00:44:31,610 --> 00:44:35,150
We're doing this little two step for the project.

628
00:44:35,630 --> 00:44:36,590
Appreciate you having a great time.

629
00:44:37,090 --> 00:44:37,550
Thanks, sir.

630
00:44:41,300 --> 00:44:44,360
Kim, Mayor, so we just need the clerk to.

631
00:44:45,060 --> 00:44:46,940
Mayor, can I make one comment?

632
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:47,800
Yes, sir.

633
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:54,000
As it involves Dr. Kerstner in that, and what we just talked

634
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,520
about, the no trespassing sign, no lawtering sign.

635
00:44:57,220 --> 00:44:59,960
Any business that needs to be done.

636
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,680
Always have something of that nature in order for our police department to respond when there's a situation like the hobby lobby or something like that. It's just one to ask you why you're here. I know it's not pertinent to that, but I didn't cast a question. I'm sorry. If the likes the money hobby lobby, they've got a problem. Somebody's homeless or un sheltered or somebody's there. The landlord or somebody needs to have a no trespassing agreement or some kind of no ordering signs.

637
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,040
in order for our police department to come on their private property to enforce.

638
00:45:33,420 --> 00:45:33,540
Right.

639
00:45:33,540 --> 00:45:34,180
Is that not correct?

640
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,060
That is correct, yes.

641
00:45:35,140 --> 00:45:40,420
And I wish that more of our people in Lumberton would recognize that because that

642
00:45:40,420 --> 00:45:45,200
gets to be a problem thinking that we can just go on private property and do something

643
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:50,800
about it without sign documentation from the landlord and the person running the business.

644
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:51,800
Right, that's correct.

645
00:45:51,940 --> 00:45:53,580
I wish we could advertise that a little bit.

646
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,900
Maybe I'll put up the information.

647
00:45:55,900 --> 00:45:57,700
I don't know if you guys know who I am.

648
00:45:57,700 --> 00:46:01,500
Those forms are available to the police department or our office.

649
00:46:03,730 --> 00:46:04,650
Thank you.

650
00:46:05,550 --> 00:46:06,210
Madam

651
00:46:09,890 --> 00:46:11,350
Clerk, would you like to...

652
00:46:11,350 --> 00:46:12,730
I'm sorry, is there a motion approved?

653
00:46:13,050 --> 00:46:13,770
Consent agenda?

654
00:46:14,210 --> 00:46:16,610

655
00:46:16,610 --> 00:46:17,690
18 page document.

656
00:46:18,170 --> 00:46:18,690
Thank you.

657
00:46:20,090 --> 00:46:20,930
I'll unpack.

658
00:46:21,490 --> 00:46:21,850
Hi.

659
00:46:23,770 --> 00:46:24,710
Sadie Miss Lee.

660
00:46:30,390 --> 00:46:33,170
Well, the next presenter is Linda Adams.

661
00:46:52,660 --> 00:46:58,460
The first item I have is for lead service line inventory amendment number four.

662
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,320
Public works is applied for and receive five grants related to the lead service inventories

663
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,720
of water popping as required by the U.S. EPA.

664
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:15,520
These are related to a requirement for any water service installed prior to 1986 to be inspected to verify pipe zeros on each side of the meter.

665
00:47:16,100 --> 00:47:24,820
This amendment is for a current contract with the Wooten Company who has been administering the work related to the previous four phases of this project.

666
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:33,380
This amendment will allow Wooten Company to continue to perform the same administrative and field work for the newly awarded phase five part of this project.

667
00:47:33,380 --> 00:47:43,940
This new amendment is for $95,000, which will be paid for out of the DWI grant, which was for $1 million.

668
00:47:45,020 --> 00:47:56,700
Public Works recommends Council approval for the contract for amendment 4 with the Wooten Company for the lead service image work project with funds being available for the recently awarded base five DWI grants.

669
00:47:57,060 --> 00:47:57,840
Motion to approve.

670
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,460

673
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,520
Next item I have is for high service pump motor purchase.

674
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:16,800
Council has previously approved the purchase in a capital budget for a high service pump motor

675
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,960
for the water treatment plant with a budget of $40,000.

676
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:26,940
Well, it works staff have received a quote from American pump corporation in the amount of $38,042

677
00:48:26,940 --> 00:48:30,440
dollars and 32 cents for the sole source item.

678
00:48:31,380 --> 00:48:36,420
Public Works recommends Council approval of the purchase of a spare house service pump

679
00:48:36,420 --> 00:48:43,300
motor from American pump court in the amount of $38,000 and $42.32 with funds being made

680
00:48:43,300 --> 00:48:48,120
available from the capital code, $6,082.20, $5860.

681
00:48:49,860 --> 00:48:54,460
I have a motion and a second. All those in favor, please say aye. All opposed?

682
00:48:55,300 --> 00:48:56,700
Yes, have it. You may continue.

683
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:03,000
This next one, I'm going to kind of gloss over the first part and get through.

684
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:08,520
This is a project that's been going on for close to 15 to 20 years.

685
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,180
Been worked on trying to get to for the Link All Road, Railroad Colbert project.

686
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:22,180
This project was originally advertised on April 26th in the Robisonian for a bid opening of May 26th.

687
00:49:22,740 --> 00:49:27,360
The advertisement for the bids was also submitted to different plan rooms within the Wooten Company.

688
00:49:27,740 --> 00:49:36,940
They received less than three bids, so it was re-advertised with a bid opening of June 10th, 2026 in the Lumberton Community Room.

689
00:49:36,940 --> 00:49:39,960
Re-advertisement was issued to all plan holders.

690
00:49:42,860 --> 00:49:47,940
There were two bids that were received, BCM Construction Management of Lumberton, North

691
00:49:47,940 --> 00:49:58,780
Carolina, for a bid of $749,501, and the terror group of Lumberton for $756,000.

692
00:49:59,260 --> 00:50:04,620
The bid received from BCM Construction Management was considered a non-responsible as they

693
00:50:04,620 --> 00:50:14,640
the appropriate general contractor classification, the instructions to the bidder states that the bidders must have general contractor's license with one of the following classification limitations.

694
00:50:16,340 --> 00:50:19,820
Highway unclassified was the main one that they lacked.

695
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:29,440
Based on that, all of the information as discussed and the attached bid recommendations from the Wooten Company,

696
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:42,080
Public Works and the Wooten Company offer no objection to the rejection of the non-responsible bid for B.C.M. Construction Management Inc. and the award of the link-all-road flood mitigation project to

697
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:47,520
Terry Group of Lumberton, North Carolina with the bid amount of $756,000.

698
00:50:49,740 --> 00:50:53,520
I have a motion and a second. All those in favor, please say aye.

699
00:50:54,100 --> 00:50:57,200

00:51:02,020 --> 00:51:06,340
Council has previously approved the purchase of a leaf vac trailer for public work staff to

702
00:51:06,340 --> 00:51:11,300
use to supplement waste management equipment within the current budget year.

703
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,620
The budget of the amount was for $121,000.

704
00:51:14,620 --> 00:51:19,420
Public Work Staff has a quote from Joe Johnson Equipment of Charlotte, North Carolina.

705
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,220

715
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:22,100

752
00:54:26,780 --> 00:54:36,280

753
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:46,740
which states the ground floor area of the residential accessory building till not exceed 50% of the ground floor area of the principal building unless a special use permit is granted.
