[0:02] foreign [0:28] I've heard things I don't know [0:31] I don't know what's happening [0:35] happens to that [0:41] on water and sewer [0:51] um [0:58] thank you [1:10] you guys paid cash for this [1:15] supposed to [1:16] create subject [1:24] okay [1:36] how long will this take [2:10] good morning chaplain can you hear us [2:15] cool [2:24] where's your suit and tie Chaplin [2:35] that's only for live meetings [2:42] well today is technically your Friday so [2:45] yeah it is [2:53] I'm even going to try to get out of town [2:55] a little early but we shall see [4:27] thank you [4:53] this [5:02] is [7:14] good morning I'd like to call the uh [7:18] Village Council work session meeting [7:20] August 31st 2023 to order I show the [7:24] time at 907 I also show we have a quorum [7:27] uh the only one we're missing is Wayne [7:30] at this time and is he planning to come [7:34] to we know or is he going to participate [7:36] remotely [7:37] Christina or Austin did he say [7:45] all right well we'll just see if he [7:47] joins us [7:48] um next up uh [7:51] who if he does join us I need a motion [7:55] to consider allowing Council to [7:58] okay [7:59] sounds good [8:01] um [8:02] next up we have adoption of the agenda [8:04] do we have any changes or omissions or [8:08] yes we need to add under items of [8:12] discussion number 13. [8:15] discussion of Geo Bond public education [8:17] project scheduled [8:19] and [8:21] microphone [8:22] and number 14 consider approval of [8:25] change order from first try on for [8:27] geobond advertisement at NOCO at a cost [8:30] not to exceed thirteen thousand dollars [8:32] and direct staff to prepare the budget [8:34] amendment [8:36] and that is all I have Mr Mayor all [8:38] right anyone else from Council [8:40] that or [8:42] all right I'll need a motion to approve [8:44] the agenda as amended so moved all's in [8:47] favor [8:48] aye [8:55] first up on presentations we do not have [8:58] any I assume is that correct Christina [9:02] and that it was a discussion okay first [9:04] up under items of discussion we had [9:06] discussion consideration of a private [9:08] road acceptance plan traffic mitigation [9:11] fund non-marvin Road [9:14] allocation plan in conjunction with [9:17] General obligation fund issues issuance [9:21] pending March 2024 election results [9:26] is that you Christina [9:30] Jamie your trunks open [9:33] your trunk [9:35] steal something [9:37] um [9:39] good morning mayor and cancel [9:43] so [9:44] um the last time we were here I think [9:47] jazza was here and we discussed the [9:49] total number for the [9:52] General obligation bond for roads the [9:54] total tax number which we had kind of [9:56] landed on a 4.5 [9:58] Cent increase in year 26 and then an [10:02] additional three cent in 2029 he can [10:05] correct me if I'm wrong [10:07] um [10:08] since then there's been a couple of [10:10] things that we've thought of that you [10:11] might want to consider adding in but [10:14] there's one particular thing that I want [10:16] to make sure we discuss [10:17] and just to note that any additional [10:19] roads that we're going to discuss today [10:21] or any additional deletions would have [10:25] would have an impact on that model so [10:26] those numbers that I previously [10:28] mentioned will be impacted if we change [10:30] anything at this point [10:31] the biggest piece as you as you all know [10:33] we've been working with DOT to get the [10:35] roads [10:37] um intended to be released if the Geo [10:40] Bond passes it's definitely something we [10:42] want to have in our back pocket to make [10:44] sure that they're willing and able to do [10:45] what we want and that we're educating [10:47] the citizens to um [10:50] to that degree and so we've had a couple [10:52] meetings with DOT [10:54] we are for the most part [10:56] they're in line with what we're trying [10:58] to do there's a couple of hiccups on [11:00] Marvin School Road Waxhaw Marvin [11:03] and then Newtown Road which I didn't [11:06] specify in this memo but Newtown Road is [11:08] one of them [11:10] basically they want to maintain control [11:13] of the roundabouts unless they have [11:15] unless we own 100 of the functionality [11:19] of the roundabout so what that would [11:20] mean is you'd have to back up from any [11:23] given roundabout approximately 1500 [11:25] linear feet they want to be able to [11:28] control the kind of stat that flows into [11:31] the functionality of those roundabouts [11:33] so the last time we had met for the most [11:35] part all of the roads in Marvin they [11:37] were okay with us taking over [11:39] with the exception of this roundabout [11:41] here they want us to go back all the way [11:43] to the Ladera Providence down south [11:46] entrance [11:47] chaplain's still researching to make [11:49] sure that we're able to do that I let [11:51] him speak on that in just a second hold [11:52] on Christina is it the PDS or is it [11:55] Ladera because CDs is way before it's [11:58] the it's the Ladera and it's the Ladera [12:00] Gates there [12:03] um hang on I can tell you the exact [12:04] because PBS and were there are not like [12:07] pds's first then Ladera but Ladera and [12:10] the gates [12:11] are across from each other thank you let [12:14] me I'll look at that I'll look at that [12:15] real quick but it is Ladera I can't it's [12:18] a weird it's a weird Road name okay [12:21] um [12:24] chaplain do you have that road name [12:25] pulled up by chance [12:27] lucky I do I do not lucky something yeah [12:32] that's the intersection [12:34] is that PDS no no okay [12:40] yeah because it's all horse names lucky [12:42] Debonair is PDS so so it's that yeah [12:45] it's that intersection so it doesn't go [12:47] all the way down to Ladera then right [12:49] well this says Ladera Drive [12:51] well you've got Ladera slash lucky [12:54] Debonair way yeah lucky debonaira and [12:57] then Ladera Drive is across the street [12:59] lucky Dev [13:01] Ansley [13:04] yes [13:05] hang on let me pass this down I'll show [13:07] you I'm looking [13:09] no lucky Debonair goes into [13:14] you know [13:18] nope you're right it does it goes into [13:20] Gates okay okay that's fine [13:23] just just double checking [13:28] you good okay [13:30] so basically that's where they would [13:31] want us to go down [13:33] um [13:34] they're willing right now to give us the [13:37] uh they're willing to stop at Rising [13:39] Road [13:41] and then we would have to figure out [13:42] basically from rising road all the way [13:44] down to that intersection that I just [13:46] mentioned in order to get [13:48] between here [13:49] and that would include the Marvin School [13:51] Road [13:52] going back 1500 feet if they don't [13:55] so they won't do the wax on Marvin [13:57] roundabout they want to do both of these [13:59] together [14:01] so so any and ever any of in all [14:03] roundabouts they would want us to have a [14:04] hundred percent basically back 1500 feet [14:08] so we wax on Marvin would be included [14:10] yes we would that that section's fine [14:12] just getting [14:15] all the way down to that intersection [14:16] that I mentioned the lucky debonaira [14:20] in order to get that that roundabout if [14:22] we don't have that [14:23] intersection down there they're not [14:25] willing to give us any of this stretch [14:27] because they want to control that [14:28] functionality [14:31] um that being said we can either exclude [14:33] this this portion and go to Rising Road [14:36] and still have ownership and control [14:37] over there same thing with here we'd [14:39] probably have to go back to the first [14:41] intersection which I think is flowering [14:43] Peach area [14:44] and then have control all the way down [14:47] and then we'd have to figure that out [14:49] what that area would be on the wax on [14:51] Marvin so my question to you all if if [14:53] we're still researching this if we are [14:55] willing and able to [14:57] find a solution to have ownership and [14:59] control over this section from Village [15:02] Hall to the lucky debonaira is canceled [15:05] willing to do that [15:08] we and just so you all know I have I [15:11] have reached out to the gates of Ainsley [15:13] Ladera and PDS about potentially [15:16] annexing their common area [15:18] which would basically mean just that [15:20] road Frontage so that we can [15:21] have an easier process for ownership and [15:25] control if if they are open to that idea [15:27] they're discussing it with their [15:28] respective HOA boards [15:31] I gave them a deadline of October 1st I [15:33] believe [15:35] so we should have an answer back from [15:36] them shortly [15:38] well if we can get the uh the right of [15:40] ways then there's no issue right if we [15:43] can what if we get the right of ways and [15:45] there's no issue we can chaplain's still [15:47] researching that because it's called a [15:51] half Road and there may be some [15:52] workarounds so we're still looking into [15:54] that but the more conventional and [15:57] easier way [15:58] is to have parties on both sides that's [16:01] what I'm saying so if we get the right [16:02] of ways then we are [16:04] yeah the common areas I should say then [16:07] we on both sides of the road [16:09] then what then we're on both sides of [16:11] the road yes then it's not an issue at [16:13] all yes okay [16:25] they would go [16:27] approximately 10 years before they [16:30] failed [16:31] started failing having backups on the [16:34] roundabouts which would require a second [16:36] Lane right in each thing so think about [16:39] that when we are deciding if we're going [16:42] to take that over that's going to no [16:44] longer be on the D.O.T or the state [16:47] that's going to be on us [16:49] The Village I don't even know what that [16:51] well but then the one thing to consider [16:54] Joe is the traffic impact of our [16:57] heritage District where it's going to be [16:59] restrictive and we probably don't want [17:01] to add those two lanes so dot was [17:04] planning [17:06] um through traffic with no restrictions [17:09] okay so probably four lane [17:11] South Carolina to Providence possibly [17:14] but they I mean I was [17:16] and at those meetings and all that and [17:18] heard all that stuff too at the time and [17:20] and that was their plan is that they had [17:23] projected a two percent growth per year [17:26] in traffic volume and that was why they [17:28] did that and acquired the extra right of [17:31] way to expand those so that and [17:36] concern [17:37] um [17:37] Mr Mayor of us that us being on the hook [17:40] for that it's going to come down to the [17:42] same thing if we build a roundabout at [17:44] Marvin and Joe Carr if we build a [17:46] roundabout at Joe Carr and Marvin School [17:48] Road like those will then be our roads [17:50] but we will do exactly what [17:53] dot does and we'll go out and get [17:55] funding federal state even though there [17:57] are roads like we would do the same [17:59] thing that the state does because I've [18:01] had that conversation with Hunter [18:02] because I was like oh time out like I [18:03] don't want all this stuff if we have to [18:05] then [18:07] 100 on the hook for it right and he's [18:10] like no we we would go out for funding [18:12] and things like that for it yeah there's [18:14] federal DOT grants and funding for with [18:17] road construction [18:22] how are you we'll be reaching out to [18:25] everyone here yeah absolutely will you [18:28] hit the button on the microphone [18:30] so we've invited Bjorn from the county [18:32] because he just happened to be in the [18:34] audience good morning Bjorn Hanson with [18:36] Union County planning so if I understand [18:39] the discussion the village is looking at [18:42] taking ownership and responsibility of [18:45] some sections of [18:46] Newtown and some roads intersecting with [18:49] Newtown pretty much in the area where [18:51] we're sitting right now [18:53] okay the thing I would note [18:56] is that if the municipal municipality [18:59] owns them the dot doesn't own it it may [19:01] lose its federal aid designation [19:04] meaning that you couldn't apply for [19:06] carpo funds in the future you would lose [19:08] that eligibility [19:11] I'm not saying that's a hundred percent [19:13] but that's definitely something you're [19:15] gonna have to look into because if [19:16] you're operating the road in a different [19:18] way if you look at the map [19:20] uh which we were successfully between [19:23] the county the tap the village and the [19:26] City of Charlotte [19:27] three years ago with Marvin Roe which is [19:29] why we're actually talking about [19:30] potentially doing a design at Joe car [19:32] and Marvin we were ineligible to do so [19:34] in the past because we couldn't use [19:37] carpo money on that section of road now [19:39] we can [19:40] you're going to want to make sure that [19:43] any of your actions are not going to [19:44] result in those sections of roads being [19:46] taken off of the Federal Aid System [19:48] unless you're willing to pay for all the [19:49] cost of those improvements okay well [19:51] yeah because I had talked to because [19:52] that was a concern of mine because I was [19:54] like I don't want to be on the hook for [19:55] all of that if it's you know now our [19:57] Reds and Hunter seem to think that we [19:59] would be okay but we'll double check on [20:02] that so sure yeah Okay cool so one of [20:04] the things I'll mention to you all is [20:07] there's a couple different issues with [20:09] this is number one if we are owning [20:11] roads that are not within our [20:14] jurisdiction we're still researching but [20:16] we think that we cannot use Powell Bill [20:18] funds to pay for those roads to be [20:20] maintained so if we decide to do this [20:22] section here let's just say it's 1500 [20:25] linear feed I'm not really sure exactly [20:27] how much it is but let's just say that [20:28] then we would have to come up with some [20:30] type of payment allocation where we [20:32] would spend general fund dollars on [20:33] whatever cost of that fifteen hundred [20:36] dollars would be that's not in the [20:37] jurisdiction chaplain and I are still [20:39] researching that [20:41] um to tell you 100 for sure [20:44] we can have that answer and we can also [20:46] look to see if we would lose the federal [20:48] funding what we can do [20:51] um with this specific section if if [20:53] y'all are leaning if y'all are leaning [20:55] towards you don't really know where to [20:58] go on [21:00] keeping this in or taking it out I would [21:02] suggest you probably keep it in for now [21:04] and we can always take it out later [21:05] might as well tell citizens the worst [21:08] case scenario we can always take it out [21:10] if we don't if we find that we can't do [21:13] it and then we'll just borrow less which [21:15] will be less of an impact to them so [21:18] [Music] [21:23] costs that we're taking over the roads [21:25] part of the cost is we're going to be re [21:27] we're going to be getting all of our [21:29] roads up to what Marvin standards are [21:31] yes so at that point we will take that [21:33] out to the entrance of Ladera with the [21:36] Geo Bond money so how long is that road [21:39] going to last 15 years [21:43] um we did not do an assessment on that [21:45] road because it's not in our [21:47] jurisdiction currently I can tell you [21:49] what Jill do you happen to have that PCS [21:51] pulled up for Newtown but my I think [21:53] it's a 44. we're going to have it read [21:56] we're going to have it brought up to [21:57] Marvin standards if that's what we have [21:58] to take then we're going to have it [21:59] brought up to Marvin standard yes so [22:01] then we will have a [22:03] life expectancy of however much it is 12 [22:07] years 15 years whatever it may be and [22:09] then so during that time because we [22:11] can't use Powell Bill funds unless we [22:13] get [22:14] common space on each side that would [22:17] then bring it into Marvin we could then [22:18] have it in Marvin [22:21] um we can be putting money away for that [22:23] 1500 [22:24] linear feet correct okay so we would [22:27] have some time to then put it away if we [22:29] couldn't specifically just use Powerball [22:31] funds on it yes initially and and [22:34] chaplain will have to continue to [22:36] research this on his end I don't know if [22:38] we can use the general fund dollars I'm [22:40] sorry the general obligation dollars [22:42] that we obtained from the Geo bond for [22:45] that section that's a question that we'd [22:46] still have to research let me I'll write [22:49] that down yeah and the Powell bill is [22:52] expressed us under GS [22:55] 136413 the power bill funds can only be [22:58] used [22:59] for the transportation improvements [23:02] within the municipal limits so that one [23:04] is Express we know Powell bill is out [23:06] all right well okay that's fine I I had [23:09] asked you to estimate the cost you know [23:12] roughly what that was [23:14] so that's the 0.125 [23:16] it would 37 000 roughly okay and this is [23:20] just a a general gas what we did was was [23:22] it a 44 rating [23:27] it has a 69.3 PCS score okay so what I [23:31] did was from some from the village [23:33] limits [23:35] down by South Carolina [23:37] all the way up to Rising Road we have a [23:40] PCS score of 69 so I can only assume [23:42] that's what the PCS score is from there [23:45] to there that being said that's one of [23:48] the areas where we would likely probably [23:50] not repave that one in the next couple [23:52] of years unless you guys wanted to would [23:55] probably hit the worst first the 40s and [23:58] the 50s then come to this road within [24:00] the next probably two to three years [24:02] once it passes that's fine but we would [24:04] still have the money from the Geo bond [24:06] for it according to chaplain you have to [24:08] spend it within the jurisdiction the [24:10] corporate limits so assuming that we got [24:12] PDS Ladera and the gates to Annex those [24:15] common spaces yes if not we could work [24:18] on that over the next couple of years to [24:21] obtain that then how are we going to [24:23] Marvin Waxhaw Road that's I'm going to [24:25] get to that one in just a second I'm [24:27] okay well that one's not enough [24:29] bad State except for way up on the other [24:32] end which is not in our jurisdiction [24:33] right [24:35] was really bad it's not in Marvin on Wax [24:38] On Marvin Road it was repaved five years [24:40] ago [24:41] I don't know when it was repaid last I [24:43] believe it was five years ago because [24:45] um it hasn't been all that long that [24:47] it's been repaved and then but the the [24:50] bad parts are up past the high school [24:51] where it's really falling apart and [24:53] that's not okay so chaplain I've got a [24:56] question for you [24:58] if [25:00] dot says okay Marvin here's the road [25:03] okay [25:05] and we say that we want to go through [25:07] the roundabouts up to ladero so dot has [25:12] now said okay Marvin these are your [25:14] roads now [25:15] you own them they are now in Marvin [25:19] so then how in the world are they not in [25:21] Marvin [25:22] because they're not adjacent on either [25:25] side to Marvin [25:30] not DOT has an easement or a dedication [25:35] for the road but they don't own in fee [25:38] simple [25:39] underneath the road [25:41] they have a right-of-way across for the [25:43] road okay but if I back up okay because [25:47] we all say we always say that stuff has [25:49] to be Marvin adjacent right in order to [25:52] be [25:54] in Marvin you've got to be Marvin [25:55] adjacent in order to get into Marvin so [25:57] if I back up down the road I'm [26:00] eventually going to be Marvin adjacent [26:02] at some point so how is the road not in [26:04] Marvin [26:05] you have a half Road [26:08] it's only you're only contiguous on one [26:11] side [26:12] so if you're in the office but at some [26:14] point I'm not at some point I'm [26:16] contiguous on both sides so how is it [26:18] not in Marvin if it's Marvin adjacent at [26:20] some point on both sides and it's got to [26:22] be more of an adjacent period [26:24] what areas can go inside and outside the [26:27] municipal limits [26:30] and I think that's what it would be just [26:32] like the neighborhoods are outside on [26:34] the other side of the the road right of [26:36] way they're outside of the municipal [26:37] limits but on the other side of the [26:39] street is within the municipal limits up [26:41] to the center line of the street [26:45] okay I don't like that answer [26:48] I'm going to work on another one okay [26:50] good thanks [26:51] [Laughter] [26:53] appreciate that so for now do you guys [26:55] want to keep that section in and then [26:57] also add the 0.25 that we estimated [27:01] again this is just a very high level [27:02] estimate but we want to plug something [27:04] in for what we think is going to call be [27:06] the cost of this if we can't if we can't [27:08] get all of the Heritage District [27:09] regulated by having Newtown Road and [27:12] that means it'll stop at Rising Road [27:14] then we won't have all of it then it [27:16] doesn't make sense to me so my yes I [27:20] will I want it in there and I have I [27:22] have all faith in chaplain and us that [27:24] we will figure out how to get common [27:26] spaces into Marvin or chaplain's going [27:28] to come up with a better answer that I [27:30] like better [27:32] such as right now is adding our estimate [27:34] of 0.125 cost of the total cost of new [27:39] um Marvin limits to Rising Road [27:43] to include you can just call it [27:45] oh you got it right new town to [27:46] Providence Downs [27:49] um [27:51] and that was 36 000 and we'll come back [27:54] to the tax model in just a second to [27:55] show you how that how much that impacted [27:56] it what year is that being plugged in [28:01] okay [28:04] um so just keep in mind if we can't find [28:06] a solution we would have to work over [28:08] the next several years to come up with [28:10] some type of funding allocation for [28:12] general fund versus Powell Bill if we [28:14] don't have the common space opened up or [28:17] finding a solution to the power bill and [28:18] when you [28:19] use 37 000 is that from the roundabout [28:22] over or is that from rising Road over [28:24] and this is not an engineer drawn [28:26] estimate this is literally us just [28:28] taking a number what is it Rising Road [28:30] over or the end of the roundabout over [28:32] Jill on the [28:34] cost allocation for that Newtown Road [28:37] what is the beginning and ending [28:38] description [28:40] Marvin limits to [28:43] it says Marmon School Road to the South [28:45] Carolina state line so it's [28:53] not there it could be a little I got it [28:55] or it could be a little less I got it [28:56] okay so the next one is [29:05] the next one's wax on Marvin [29:10] Blackstone Marvin is very weird [29:14] [Music] [29:14] um [29:15] there's several sections of wax on [29:17] Marvin that are in out in out and out [29:20] that's a problem in and of itself we've [29:22] got to find a solution for getting those [29:25] Parcels in that are in and out the the [29:27] only suggestion that I can recommend at [29:29] this point in time is to go to the very [29:31] first [29:33] area where we have no contiguous Parcels [29:37] in and that's [29:40] that's I don't know if we've got that [29:42] reflective in the model that's something [29:43] that chapel and I have been working on [29:45] over the last couple of months and [29:47] trying to figure out how we can our [29:48] weeks I should say how where's our [29:50] starting and stopping point for wax on [29:52] Marvin [29:53] we've we feel very confident that unless [29:55] we can get those part the parcels [29:57] annexed in that that are [30:01] let me see if I can pull up a map [30:03] um [30:05] unless we can get those Parcels annexed [30:07] in that have no continuity whatsoever [30:09] we're going to recommend to go to that [30:10] first starting and stopping point [30:13] and we definitely don't have that [30:15] plugged into the model I don't know if [30:16] we have any of the bonds Grove in there [30:18] you know if we do [30:26] okay [30:34] we can work on those numbers that that's [30:36] not really a huge deal because we can [30:38] again we can keep those numbers in we [30:40] can take them out as we're working on [30:41] that if we see that it's not going to [30:43] work out [30:46] But to answer your question about where [30:47] to pave and where to start and stop it's [30:50] it if [30:51] we had to say if we had to give an [30:53] answer today it would be to that first [30:55] point of where we have nothing in Marvin [30:57] at all [31:00] it is [31:07] Nesbit right I think it's [31:11] yeah it's it's uh chaplain if you [31:14] remember it was parcel 2207 [31:16] I don't know if you remember that one [31:17] that's where we said it was the first [31:18] one it's basically right at the [31:19] intersection of Henry Nesbitt [31:22] road [31:27] if you want to pass that down sorry [31:30] Christina you were talking and other [31:32] people were talking what'd you say [31:35] I'm gonna pass around the map this is [31:37] where we had noticed the first [31:39] you see where that intersection is you [31:41] see where the the white box is that's [31:44] where the first area of [31:48] not having ownership on either side so [31:51] okay so with the chimneys [31:54] so if we can get the chimneys to Annex [31:57] in their common area [31:58] which won't cost them a thing [32:01] then we could which would be very [32:03] beneficial for them if they could get [32:05] the rope repaved in front of their place [32:08] along with a sidewalk that would be [32:10] going down in front of their [32:12] neighborhood that would make a lot of [32:15] sense for them to Annex in in order to [32:17] get that that we could fix the drainage [32:19] issue fix the drainage issue for them if [32:22] they can Annex in [32:25] you see that parcel identified as two [32:27] two zero seven [32:30] that's the one that's not in Marvin [32:34] or or if we could get that partial up [32:37] approved I'm not really sure chapel and [32:39] I are still working on that like I said [32:40] so we can keep the numbers in for now [32:43] worst case scenario we keep the numbers [32:44] in we can always take it out later [32:55] okay so Marvin School Newtown that [32:58] covers all of that and then Marvin [32:59] school there's really no issues other [33:00] than right here beside us which [33:02] hopefully will get addressed with the [33:05] gates of Ansley [33:07] in their common space aside from that [33:09] there's pretty there's pretty much no [33:11] gaps in Marvin School Road [33:14] okay and again Christina I'm just want [33:16] to reiterate that if any of these [33:18] neighborhoods Annex in their common [33:20] space that does not mean that they're [33:22] paying an additional tax on that land [33:25] correct I would encourage them to talk [33:27] to their attorney but there are statutes [33:30] that exempt HOA common space to not have [33:33] to pay taxes now it's all how they're [33:35] individually set up but generically I [33:37] would say the answer is yes okay [33:48] the time if they're adjacent okay cool [33:50] thank you and then that also includes [33:53] demons grow obviously bonds Grove [33:55] wouldn't be touched at all [33:57] well I guess it could be [33:59] but if we're going to stop on Wax On [34:01] Marvin at the first non-marvin area [34:04] we would have to figure out where to [34:06] pick back up on bonds Grove so I haven't [34:07] even looked at that road to figure out [34:09] where we would start back up on Wax On [34:12] Marvin so I'm just throwing that out [34:14] there we'll have to talk about that one [34:15] later but as of now that could be a [34:17] problematic issue if we don't get some [34:19] of the gaps closed and wax on Marvin [34:22] again we'll leave the numbers in for now [34:23] we can always take them out but aside [34:26] from that dot was good with pretty much [34:28] everything else [34:29] so they're working on what I've dubbed [34:32] as a phase one letter which is including [34:34] all the internal roads within Marvin [34:37] um they're working on that letter to [34:39] with an intent to relinquish and then as [34:41] we clean up some of these issues [34:43] we're going to work on a phase two of [34:45] all the other common areas that we're [34:47] discussing now [34:49] do you have any questions on any of that [34:51] okay I just wanted to reiterate that if [34:54] we can't find a solution to the Powell [34:56] bill [34:58] using the Powell Bill dollars for these [34:59] roads that are not Marvin we will have [35:01] to find some type of funding allocation [35:03] which we can work on [35:06] any questions [35:09] okay the next [35:10] topic I want to go on is private roads [35:13] we initially did not plan for any [35:15] private roads to be [35:18] paved or resurfaced or anything in the [35:20] Geo Bond but I know as we start the [35:23] publication education efforts we're [35:24] going to have a lot of questions on what [35:26] about me if I'm a private road owner are [35:28] you going to pave my road the roads [35:30] estimated for private roads were about [35:32] eight or nine hundred thousand dollars [35:34] in the past we've had I know at least [35:37] one subdivision possibly to come to us [35:40] and ask for an assessment which [35:43] basically allows for us to pave those [35:46] roads and do tax assessments on their [35:47] property over a course of however many [35:49] years we decide to do it [35:52] um essentially it's us running the money [35:53] and then charging back the property [35:54] owners in their tax bill we would still [35:57] have the same authority to foreclose on [35:59] property if that wasn't paid so the [36:01] recouping of the money is still very [36:03] high and it goes with the land so if [36:07] someone [36:08] is on a road today that's private and [36:11] they're planning on selling their house [36:12] in a couple of years they can still have [36:14] that road resurfaced and have the [36:15] subsequent homeowners pay for it if they [36:17] do the assessment it's a legal process [36:20] in the state of North Carolina I think [36:21] it goes up to eight to ten years so we [36:24] could essentially project out that cost [36:26] from eight to ten years and it's all [36:28] based on linear footage linear Road [36:30] footage footage [36:31] and 50 percent of those homeowners are [36:34] 50 of the linear footage owners would [36:36] have to agree [36:38] to that assessment [36:40] so Robinwood for example if they wanted [36:43] to come in and get their roads paved [36:45] they would have to Rally amongst their [36:47] neighborhood to get over 50 percent of [36:50] linear footage owners to say yes they [36:52] provide that petition to us we go out [36:55] and have an engineered study drawn of [36:57] how much it's going to cost then we [36:58] charge that back to them they they will [37:00] have to sign more additional paperwork [37:02] but we would charge that [37:03] assessment back to them and their tax [37:05] bill over the course of however long [37:06] y'all decided to do it [37:12] yes yeah yeah it would be an individual [37:15] assessment [37:16] so at Firethorne let's say your roads [37:19] were bad and and we didn't own them [37:20] y'all owned them you could come to us [37:22] and say hey can you make this happen we [37:24] would go out and measure Joe owns [37:27] 500 linear footage Jamie owns 800 so [37:31] Jamie's going to be a little bit more [37:32] Joe's going to be a little bit less and [37:35] then you would pay that over the course [37:36] of five ten years [37:42] something that would [37:44] sensory bio foreign [37:54] that's right [37:56] the same we would okay but we would we [37:59] would just help them because we would [38:01] front the money they don't have enough [38:02] money to do it themselves [38:04] so we would float them alone and they [38:07] could pay us back over time but of the [38:10] loan or we what you're saying is [38:12] basically they're just paying us back [38:13] the cost of the of the of the repair [38:16] yeah the paving [38:18] we can't [38:21] charge them to carry right can we charge [38:24] you carry you can charge them an [38:25] interest rate [38:26] but that has to be agreed upon before [38:28] they even go to the whole thing okay [38:29] yeah and it's uh there's a there's [38:31] there's statutes that dictate up to how [38:33] much I can't remember right now it's [38:34] been a while since I've looked at it but [38:35] you can [38:37] and and there's also there's also a [38:39] pre-payment [38:41] um discount so to say for that person if [38:44] they want to just be done with it and [38:47] okay [38:49] so you brought this to us [38:51] I don't know a couple years ago maybe [38:53] and at that point I was not for it [38:55] because we were going to have to try to [38:57] find the money and do everything we're [38:58] still gonna have to find the money but [39:00] we're going to have it with the Geo Bond [39:01] so I'm okay doing it but I'm with Jamie [39:06] like if it's if there's a carry cost for [39:08] it then they they need to be paying that [39:10] interest rate [39:11] um so I'm fine if we want to do that I [39:15] just don't know how we [39:18] plan for that because we don't know if [39:21] anybody wants to do it but we need those [39:24] numbers so I know we can put the numbers [39:26] in there and if we don't need it we [39:28] don't have to pull from it you know so [39:30] then the tax rate won't be as much as if [39:32] we pulled it [39:34] that's great okay well it kind of goes [39:36] in line with I'm what I'm going to talk [39:37] about next [39:39] are all of y'all have that same opinion [39:41] is everyone okay with [39:43] I guess advertising that we're going to [39:45] address private roads by a petition [39:47] format [39:48] yes yeah everybody's got to be on board [39:50] it can't be like one house and they're [39:52] like I'm in and we pave in front of [39:54] their house it's gonna be the whole [39:55] neighborhood but the way that the [39:56] statutes work is it's I don't know the [39:58] the specific details but I know it's [40:00] over 50 percent of the linear Square One [40:02] linear footage owner so you could have [40:04] an area where [40:06] um where four people on four people are [40:09] on the street and one person is a 75 [40:12] owner and the other three are just [40:15] little hits and misses that equal 25 and [40:18] you could still have that one property [40:19] owner that says let's do it make it [40:21] happen [40:23] and the other four homeowners or other [40:25] three homeowners Sol yeah okay I don't [40:27] love that so again I'm gonna need [40:29] everybody in the neighborhood to be on [40:30] board with doing it before I even think [40:33] about doing that we can create a policy [40:34] for it that dictates that but [40:36] statutorily that's the way that I just [40:37] mentioned surely that's fine but that [40:39] doesn't mean that that's how we have to [40:40] do it okay correct that's right we could [40:43] force somebody to do it but I don't want [40:44] to do that I'd much rather everybody be [40:46] on board wanting wanting to do it and [40:48] wanting to you know have this extra [40:51] everybody is in 100 yeah [41:01] most of the time when you have those [41:03] minor owners that oppose it it's it's [41:06] going to be either [41:07] a smaller linear footage which means a [41:10] smaller cost and they just don't want to [41:12] do it so we can make the policy around [41:14] it we just we just want we as staff want [41:17] to be able to educate the public as to [41:19] how the Geo Bond will is going to have [41:22] an implication on them they're going to [41:23] pay the tax are they going to get [41:25] anything for it yes we would be willing [41:27] to do the petition format according to [41:29] our policy is is kind of what what I'm [41:31] hearing [41:32] I mean I'm fine with it but I think [41:35] there needs to be some parameters set [41:36] around it and we'll we would come back [41:38] to you all before that we just want to [41:39] make sure that y'all are conceptually [41:41] okay with running the money for an area [41:43] that wants to have the roads paved I [41:45] mean essentially we're funding the area [41:46] the money for everybody [41:49] but right like you do front the money [41:53] for my neighborhood like you'd front it [41:55] for in front of Andy's house yeah but [41:57] you're not paying it back right but I'm [41:59] just saying essentially like we're doing [42:00] it for everybody so why wouldn't we do [42:01] it for the private roads yes they're [42:03] private they're going to own them we're [42:04] not going to own them we'll have to [42:05] maintain them but we would want them to [42:08] be brought up to our standards and [42:09] that's what we're doing so if we can if [42:12] we can help them do it and do it a [42:14] little bit more economically than them [42:16] just doing it on their own you know [42:18] getting economies of scale because we're [42:19] doing large projects then I don't know [42:22] why we wouldn't offer that yeah and one [42:24] I just don't want to force people to do [42:26] it that's my whole thing point of [42:27] clarification I need we need to look up [42:29] me and chaplain do is I'm not so sure [42:31] they can maintain to be they can they [42:33] can be private I think they have to go [42:34] to public at that point so we'll chapel [42:36] and I will look at look that up [42:39] that would be bringing it up to our [42:40] standards so that we would then maintain [42:42] it [42:42] take it over and maintain it from there [42:45] well we we should already know we we [42:47] know what neighborhoods those are [42:50] and there's only a few so we [42:53] I'm fine for this exercise [42:55] setting that [42:57] you know bringing that in [43:00] but we need to kind of be proactive in [43:03] reaching out to them and saying okay you [43:04] need to do your due diligence on whether [43:06] your neighborhood is going to be for it [43:08] or against it we don't it's it's not up [43:11] to us we've we've allocated the funds [43:13] for it through the through the bond and [43:15] going from that standpoint so for this [43:17] exercise yes but we could be proactive [43:20] in going to the neighborhoods and saying [43:22] this is what you guys need to do and [43:24] give them the give them the box that [43:26] they need to play in okay well we'll [43:28] come up with some policy creation so [43:30] y'all can wrap your head around it we'll [43:31] look up the private roads versus public [43:33] after the assessment's done [43:36] um also want to note as we're talking [43:39] about the financial model if we are [43:42] recouping the money over a course of [43:45] five years so to say I'm not really sure [43:47] we need to put it in as an expense [43:49] because it's not really going to be an [43:50] expense that we have to additionally [43:52] plan for because we're getting the money [43:54] back [43:55] okay so Chaser when do you need to know [43:57] that number by [44:00] um so that would just need to be known [44:03] when we submit our [44:06] application to the local government [44:08] commission that puts the amount that's [44:11] going to be on the referendum question [44:12] and so right now that is [44:15] beginning of November so ideally [44:17] sometime maybe okay so we've got a we've [44:19] got a little bit of time to see if we [44:21] can reach out to some of these people [44:22] Christina that you may think yeah I'm [44:24] just I just don't I don't think we need [44:26] to plug the number in though because we [44:27] would get that money back within five [44:29] years and if we're if we're talking [44:30] about doing one tranche and let's say [44:33] say 25 one tranche and 25 one five years [44:37] from there three years from there we [44:39] will already be generating that money [44:40] back into our coffers okay so you don't [44:43] think that we would need to I don't [44:44] think we do I mean we could probably [44:45] plug in a hundred thousand dollars just [44:47] for engineering costs that we may not [44:51] charge back to them I mean it's a total [44:53] cost of all private roads right now is [44:56] estimated at nine hundred thousand [44:57] dollars which is basically just gonna be [44:58] a wash then it's not gonna be okay I got [45:00] it okay we just want to make sure we're [45:02] putting that information out to the [45:03] public that that's a possibility [45:05] um do you agree I would just say from [45:08] the modeling tax impact standpoint it [45:10] will be a wash but if it is something [45:12] that we do want to consider for the [45:13] general obligation Bond referendum that [45:16] number will need to be included in our [45:17] Max offer authorization amount [45:20] so if it is 900 000 that'll need to go [45:22] on top of all the other roads but [45:24] Christine is saying like let's say that [45:25] we did it [45:27] in the first [45:29] like we paved their roads in the first [45:32] section of it [45:34] we'd already be getting paid back so we [45:36] wouldn't have to pull as much on the [45:37] second [45:38] issuance right [45:40] is that what you're saying Christina yes [45:42] but I think you're saying that if it's a [45:43] part of the project [45:45] initially that we're going to spend the [45:46] money on they need it needs to be in [45:48] there right so for example if all other [45:51] projects aside from the private roads [45:53] were 14 million dollars and that's just [45:55] what you went to the public with but [45:57] then you used part of that 14 million [46:00] dollars to pay for private roads then [46:02] you're just siphoning off money that [46:03] could go to other projects [46:05] you're getting paid back quicker than [46:08] you would repay the debt that doesn't [46:11] refresh or [46:13] um [46:14] bump back up your authorization [46:16] Authority into issue a second tranche [46:19] down the line so you would want to [46:20] include 14.9 million dollars for example [46:23] you could use up to that 14.9 but if all [46:27] the private roads don't come to fruition [46:28] then [46:29] you can repurpose that authorization you [46:32] can just let it lapse but even though [46:34] you're getting repaid back you still [46:35] need to have that max amount authorized [46:37] to issue the debt up front but you would [46:39] borrow but you the money that you would [46:41] use in the first tranche you would have [46:42] it paid back by the time the second [46:44] tranche is pulled so therefore you [46:45] wouldn't have as much as you've [46:47] estimated in the first or the second you [46:49] and I can talk about that offline from [46:51] the modeling standpoint it shouldn't it [46:54] shouldn't affect the bottom line [46:58] we'll talk about that the only other [47:00] thing I want to mention to you is the [47:02] potential for a traffic mitigation fund [47:04] this would impact the model [47:06] um over the course of five years that [47:09] I've been here we've constantly had [47:10] people come in and ask for Speed tables [47:13] stop signs that kind of stuff in their [47:15] subdivisions crosswalks [47:18] um pedestrian refuges like we've had a [47:21] lot of those requests we've offered to [47:24] do cost share with HOAs like when the [47:26] unfortunate case on Joe Carr where the [47:29] pedestrian [47:30] um [47:31] fatality we had about three [47:35] subdivisions over there that want to do [47:36] a pedestrian Refuge last crosswalk we [47:39] offered a call share with them none of [47:42] them were willing to do it at that point [47:43] in time so we we just want to know [47:45] do you all want to put some type of [47:47] money that reoccurs to help some of [47:51] these minor projects that come up [47:53] when they come up for these requests [48:09] like Marvin school or Joe Carr right [48:36] so [48:39] Marvin Creek had to Pony up their money [48:41] too for theirs right so let's just keep [48:43] it the same from that perspective but [48:45] then I agree if there's issues [48:51] right there [48:57] so what we can do and it's hard for us [48:59] to really say how much to put in there [49:00] because if you're talking about just a [49:02] crosswalk with lights and that kind of [49:04] stuff it's fairly cheap I say cheap [49:06] meaning forty thousand dollars but if [49:09] you're talking about adding in a refuge [49:10] and you can yarn you can probably [49:12] correct my numbers if I'm wrong when [49:14] you're talking about adding in a refuge [49:16] you're talking about expanding the area [49:18] of the road and therefore it's going to [49:19] be a lot more costly [49:21] I'd say upwards of 60 to 80 000 on those [49:25] types of areas so I don't know if you [49:27] just want to leave that alone and not [49:29] put anything in the model and if we have [49:31] a surplus of funds from us being able to [49:33] save money elsewhere we can talk about [49:35] it at that point in time or if you want [49:37] to put in a couple hundred thousand for [49:39] addressing those areas I thought we had [49:41] some money in there for crosswalks [49:43] especially on Joe Carr and Marvin no [49:53] online [49:56] because I mean we've because we've got [49:57] some issues on Joe Carr about crossing [49:59] the street and I know that we had wanted [50:00] to kind of cost share with the [50:03] neighborhoods over there [50:04] um but I think that if as we're doing [50:07] these Road improvements and we can do [50:08] some of these things with the bond money [50:10] I'm I don't know why we wouldn't [50:13] put some money in there and I'm sure [50:14] that your quotes that you got from a few [50:17] years ago Christina are probably not [50:19] accurate but we can at least you know [50:23] just for safety purposes okay [50:27] somebody's listening to me sorry I just [50:29] I remember we have some stuff marked in [50:30] the CIP and I don't know I mean it's got [50:34] the Story of My Life the dashboard [50:37] or in the um [50:40] part projects [50:43] but your this reflects okay [50:46] we do not have anything specific in [50:48] there about [50:50] um crosswalks so if y'all want to add [50:53] some in there we can or we can do the [50:55] approach of if we save on other projects [50:57] as we anticipate we're doing we can [50:59] address that situation then [51:06] yeah [51:09] I'm inclined to see yes [51:14] no no [51:18] no so y'all want y'all want to add two [51:20] hundred thousand [51:22] do you remember what the quotes were and [51:24] again I'm sure that they've gone up I [51:27] remember inflation and all I remember [51:29] the Joe Carr situation was about forty [51:31] thousand dollars each [51:33] I want to say yes see I feel like we [51:35] were getting all three at around 90. [51:37] does that not sound right maybe because [51:39] we were doing bulk [51:41] I think I remember that name [51:44] Bjorn do you have any [51:45] general idea of Refuge crosswalks [51:58] so I would say 50 [52:00] 50 for just a normal crosswalk like you [52:03] see down Marvin School Road if you're [52:05] talking about making a refuge you're [52:07] probably talking about a hundred [52:08] thousand dollars [52:12] you have at least four places [52:15] that I can think of right off the top of [52:16] my head there's probably going to be [52:18] more than that [52:20] um are those where you'd want a refuge [52:21] or would you want just a regular [52:23] crosswalk they're just like some sort of [52:24] not necessarily Refuge just a just a [52:26] crosswalk just to have something lit up [52:28] so it's just a little bit safer [52:31] um well it depends on the speed zone too [52:33] because if it's over 35 it requires [52:36] Refuge if I'm not mistaken if I'm on the [52:39] roads we're going to have 10 mile an [52:41] hour roads through Marble I'm just just [52:43] throwing that out there that I'm pretty [52:45] sure if it's over 35 you have to have a [52:47] refuge if you're crossing that's why [52:49] they had to do that down here [52:52] um and then they lowered the speed limit [52:54] but that was why that that Refuge was [52:56] was placed okay well we can create 250 [53:00] 000 and then we can create a committee a [53:02] subcommittee to help decide [53:04] how that how that's going to look for [53:07] the for the purposes of this model are [53:10] we going to do 50 000 per year [53:14] what is that okay 50 000 a year starting [53:17] 2025 going five years in a row [53:21] he's just gonna put it in the first [53:22] tranche okay so you're gonna put 250. [53:25] especially like if we do it on Joe Carr [53:27] then we might as well do all of them at [53:29] the same time [53:30] while we're you know doing the road [53:37] okay so he's got 250 in one Joe Carr 20. [53:42] 15. I'd be toast [53:45] you would be toast [53:49] um so aside from that I wanted Jill to [53:51] recap all the projects and this is going [53:54] to be [53:55] time consuming but I want to make sure [53:57] everyone's on the same page with all the [53:58] projects that are listed for the Geo for [54:01] the roads to make sure there's nothing [54:02] that y'all think that we've forgotten [54:04] that you thought was in there [54:07] um so can I wrap this up in a nice [54:10] pretty boat tell you the major attacks [54:12] impact because once we start the public [54:14] education piece which Austin's going to [54:16] get to in just a second this kind of is [54:17] what we're going to push out there these [54:19] are the projects this is the tax impact [54:20] this is how we're doing it so if Jill [54:22] you can spend a couple minutes to go [54:24] through each line by line on those [54:26] specific projects that'd be awesome [54:28] so just to confirm only the ones that we [54:31] have listed roads referendum fund yes [54:34] now none of none of what she's saying [54:35] none of what we're doing right now [54:37] covers anything to do with the parks [54:42] okay [54:43] so under Road referendum fund the [54:46] projects that I show is being turned on [54:49] is the roundabout at wax on Marvin in [54:52] bonds Grove Church Road did we turn that [54:54] off we turned that on and that is just [54:57] our share that is not the total cost [54:59] with um the county and crtp just our [55:03] chair okay [55:05] then we have way finding signs phase one [55:08] through four [55:11] then we have the s2b Stacy Howie Road [55:14] wax on Marvin Greenway [55:18] we have the C5 intersection of Joe Carr [55:21] and Marvin Road [55:24] we have s2a wax on Marvin Road and [55:27] Newtown Road [55:30] C1 which is Tom Short Road [55:34] c20a intersection of Newtown and Marvin [55:37] School Road [55:41] s2c Crane Road [55:45] s1b the remaining portion Wheat Field [55:48] Drive to saddle Ave [55:51] C15 Waxhaw Marvin Road [55:59] on Waxhaw Marvin that section [56:02] it says s2c Crane Road in parentheses [56:05] wax on Marvin Greenway [56:07] and Tyler's making a copy real quick of [56:09] the map so y'all can visualize what [56:10] she's saying so he'll be right back with [56:12] that that copy [56:15] The Greenway [56:18] you said S1 S1 or [56:22] s2c yeah yeah any any of the numbers [56:25] like that would be a Greenway okay sorry [56:26] so should it not have Road referendum [56:28] should it should it have Greenway [56:30] instead no okay just checking because [56:32] it's for transportation purposes okay [56:35] um [56:36] I don't know not sure where I left off [56:38] but [56:40] okay no you're fine [56:42] um so s1b is the remaining portion [56:44] Wheatfield Drive to saddle Ave [56:46] C15 wax on Marvin Road [56:50] um and since bonds Grove Church Greenway [56:54] c20b Marvin eford Park Newtown Road [56:57] Greenway [56:59] C-17 bonds Grove Church Road [57:03] then we have NC DOT totals [57:08] we have sidewalk acquisition and repairs [57:12] Street blades miscellaneous drainage [57:16] then the three that we just added [57:18] Newtown Road from the roundabout to [57:21] Ladera slash PDS [57:24] we have the private roads that we just [57:26] agreed to take on potentially and then [57:29] we have traffic mitigation slash [57:31] crosswalks slash safety improvements [57:36] test out the map to you all there is one [57:37] section that's missing that we've [57:39] actually got updated I just don't have [57:40] it here but [57:41] C1 was one of the ones that you guys [57:43] added in which is one that she mentioned [57:45] so that's not highlighted in purple but [57:47] that is one included just so you all [57:49] know everything else you'll see the [57:50] purple overlay and those are the trails [57:53] that we have slated for transportation [57:55] purposes in the general obligation bond [57:57] for roads [58:01] is there anything that you guys see that [58:03] we missed that we didn't that we [58:05] shouldn't have put in [58:28] I think I'm good [58:30] I think it looks great I'm so excited [58:32] about this I mean that is going to be [58:34] massive connectivity for all sides of [58:37] the village this is gonna if we can get [58:39] this passed this is going to be amazing [58:41] so this mat that you see here we [58:44] generate this from our Consultants that [58:47] did our master plan for parks and [58:49] Greenways we are going to pass this [58:51] along to our Communications consultants [58:53] for the Geo Bond so they'll actually [58:54] make it a lot more prettier a lot more [58:56] nicer for the public to absorb this [58:59] section [58:59] and Austin we'll get to that in just a [59:02] second but if everybody's good with this [59:03] I'm going to ask chazo to give you guys [59:06] again the tax impact and the years that [59:08] you guys will [59:09] no [59:14] um so excluding private roads right now [59:17] we are at about 14.7 million dollars of [59:20] Road related projects that's about 300 [59:24] 000 or so higher than what we started [59:26] with last time um so when Christina [59:29] mentioned that the roads were four and a [59:31] half cents gone up a little bit now [59:34] um right now it's about 4.75 so 0.25 [59:37] increase above where we were when we [59:40] started this morning [59:42] and that that is beginning a near fiscal [59:45] 2026 assuming that we issue half the [59:48] bonds in fiscal year 2025. and then [59:51] three years later we're assuming we take [59:52] the second half and issue that and that [59:55] would be an additional [59:57] 2.75 cents [59:59] which would take us up to seven and a [1:00:00] half cents now again this includes an [1:00:03] above Market interest rate assumption so [1:00:06] obviously when the time comes for us to [1:00:08] issue the debt we'll have current market [1:00:10] interest rates at that time and we can [1:00:12] refresh the model to suggest for that [1:00:15] particular budget year what the property [1:00:17] tax rate would need to be but for [1:00:18] planning purposes we want to be a little [1:00:19] bit on the high side just so that we're [1:00:21] not missing the mark and cavity come [1:00:23] back to the public later with a property [1:00:25] tax increase above what we stated what [1:00:28] was the 2.5 [1:00:29] uh to 2.75 would be in fiscal year 2029. [1:00:36] at the max it would be seven and a half [1:00:38] cents um but as the principal and [1:00:41] interests on the bonds start to pay down [1:00:43] as presumably your value of a penny [1:00:45] continues to grow you can reduce that [1:00:46] over time if you want to to mirror it [1:00:50] with the debt repayments or if you want [1:00:52] to keep it in place you can use those [1:00:53] dollars for other purposes [1:00:59] any questions on that [1:01:02] any questions on the map here because [1:01:06] we're going to roll with this once we [1:01:07] leave here okay [1:01:10] um and again this is just for [1:01:12] transportation this is not including the [1:01:14] parks which doesn't if you want to go [1:01:16] over that number one more time we have [1:01:17] not changed anything on that well I was [1:01:19] going to ask about the park because you [1:01:21] and I had had a conversation about the [1:01:23] drainage in the situation with [1:01:26] current Village Hall site [1:01:28] Amphitheater [1:01:30] possible site [1:01:33] do we want can we roll the the drainage [1:01:36] study the drainage work into that [1:01:39] project because [1:01:42] what they're asking for now in terms of [1:01:46] the cost to do it I would much rather [1:01:48] roll it in to that than [1:01:53] we can and so remember that number that [1:01:55] we had in the Parks model was around 3 [1:01:58] million I can't remember exactly was it [1:02:00] 3.5 this number was given to us by the [1:02:03] Consultants McAdams that did the master [1:02:06] plan these are not engineered drawn [1:02:08] estimates so we don't know for sure that [1:02:10] number is exactly right we can add [1:02:12] another 100 200 000 in there to drainage [1:02:15] if you would like but that 3.5 could [1:02:18] include some of that [1:02:20] I don't have an engineered stamps plan [1:02:23] so we can or we can roll with this and [1:02:25] just try to figure out [1:02:27] what would y'all rather do have have [1:02:29] more in there [1:02:32] well if you just if you add the tax [1:02:34] what's the tax application on it right [1:02:36] now [1:02:37] so on the three and a half million for [1:02:39] the parks that's about 2.25 cents so if [1:02:42] we added another couple hundred thousand [1:02:44] four drainage and studies and [1:02:47] Engineering costs what would that be [1:02:50] what it's not going to go much I know [1:02:52] but what would it be just for fun so [1:02:55] round numbers if I went from 3.5 to 3.75 [1:02:58] it's about another 0.25 cents okay so [1:03:01] two and a half then yes okay I mean I'd [1:03:03] rather have more in there and not need [1:03:05] it and be able to pay it back quicker [1:03:07] and drop the tax implication then not [1:03:11] have it and need it [1:03:14] I mean that's that's a wise and again [1:03:17] it's not our decision so I mean we're [1:03:19] putting it out there right but it's it's [1:03:21] better to to have it not need it to need [1:03:24] it not have it I agree so okay chazo can [1:03:27] you change that yes absolutely so that [1:03:29] would be 3.75 million on the parks [1:03:32] referendum and that'll be in a two and a [1:03:34] half percent tax increase [1:03:36] whenever that hits we're assuming right [1:03:38] now in fiscal 26 but whenever you all [1:03:40] issue that portion of the debt [1:03:48] that's everything that I had for geo [1:03:50] bonds does anybody have any questions [1:03:51] comments concerns on anything [1:03:55] uh in just a couple minutes Austin will [1:03:57] go over [1:03:59] the communications plan which is pretty [1:04:02] in-depth [1:04:03] and y'all can have another opportunity [1:04:05] at that point in time but for the most [1:04:07] part we're going to roll with the [1:04:09] numbers that are here the tax [1:04:10] implications that are here you'll start [1:04:11] seeing some of that public education [1:04:13] piece roll out shortly and and also get [1:04:15] to that in just a second that's going to [1:04:17] be more towards the end of the meeting [1:04:18] though [1:04:20] that's all I have Mr Mayor [1:04:23] all right [1:04:25] next up we have presentation [1:04:31] a presentation of Union County 2023 [1:04:34] critical intersection and Analysis and [1:04:37] consider adoption of resolution [1:04:38] supporting the Union County 2023 [1:04:40] critical intersection analysis [1:04:46] yeah [1:04:48] so this is [1:04:52] a really productive eight months [1:04:56] and [1:04:59] so we started in January we had a [1:05:02] stakeholders Committee comprising of [1:05:04] staff from each of the communities dot [1:05:07] carpo Union County and we met until [1:05:11] August our September meetings actually [1:05:13] supposed to be tomorrow but we cancel it [1:05:14] because we didn't necessarily need it [1:05:16] and [1:05:18] went through the schedule you see here [1:05:21] so we identified intersections based on [1:05:24] local knowledge [1:05:26] we confirmed our ranking across us [1:05:29] started collecting data on traffic [1:05:32] counts crashes [1:05:34] the configurations of the intersection [1:05:36] constructability concerns we went out [1:05:38] for public Outreach which was remarkably [1:05:41] successful we then analyzed all that [1:05:44] information and confirmed our scores for [1:05:46] the projects and then came up with our [1:05:49] top 15 that 15 is not a magic number [1:05:51] it's just what we in what we started [1:05:53] with seven years ago when we started [1:05:55] this process and we've [1:05:57] keep kept that same number as we have [1:05:59] done updates over the years and so now [1:06:01] in July and August into September [1:06:04] presentations and adoptions so we've [1:06:07] presented to most of the municipalities [1:06:09] that are impacted we actually have eight [1:06:11] that have locations which is good means [1:06:14] that there's a geographic dispersion to [1:06:17] the locations and we'll go to the Board [1:06:19] of Commissioners in mid-september for [1:06:23] adoption [1:06:24] so in terms of the public Outreach the [1:06:27] western part of the county was well [1:06:29] represented we had nearly 3 000 people [1:06:31] County Wide [1:06:33] um black or I'm sorry Marvin had over a [1:06:36] hundred respondents which was consistent [1:06:40] with half of the municipalities in the [1:06:41] county we had really good Outreach [1:06:43] priorities were safety and congestion [1:06:46] I'll note that I I didn't word the [1:06:48] question very well about safety and [1:06:50] congestion because I asked them [1:06:51] independently and when asked [1:06:53] independently people said that's the [1:06:54] number one priority which is obviously [1:06:56] impossible so I needed to have it in the [1:06:58] same question for the future but they [1:07:00] are both important and they're both [1:07:02] considered in the evaluation process [1:07:04] truck traffic it's a consideration it [1:07:06] wasn't a particularly strong one though [1:07:08] Geographic [1:07:10] dispersion not so much people wanted to [1:07:14] prioritize growing areas [1:07:16] bike ped it's a consideration it [1:07:19] shouldn't be the only reason why we [1:07:20] choose a location and congestion safety [1:07:23] comments were made throughout the county [1:07:25] on Transportation needs in general so we [1:07:28] heard a lot about a lot of [1:07:30] issues that weren't necessarily at a [1:07:33] specific intersection we also received [1:07:34] them for Indian land and and Charlotte [1:07:37] as as things that they just wanted to [1:07:40] get it off their chest [1:07:42] so the scoring process we used the [1:07:45] previous cycle used a a nice round [1:07:48] number of 100 it's now 115 because the [1:07:51] two rows at the bottom multimodal [1:07:53] considerations and constructability were [1:07:55] added it says that a project score or a [1:07:59] location scores better if there's a [1:08:01] readily identified pedestrian or bicycle [1:08:04] deficiency at that location or by [1:08:06] improving that intersection you're going [1:08:08] to help connect the network and then [1:08:09] constructability is let's let's [1:08:12] prioritize locations that are easier to [1:08:14] build than just hoping for the best and [1:08:17] so that was a consideration as well to [1:08:19] know how much [1:08:21] high power [1:08:23] electricity lines water sewer historic [1:08:27] buildings [1:08:28] other types of considerations that are [1:08:31] going to make a pro a project more [1:08:32] complicated [1:08:34] and the public Outreach process was very [1:08:37] useful we identified multiple [1:08:39] intersections that made it into the list [1:08:41] as a result of what the public asked to [1:08:43] say doesn't mean it doesn't mean it was [1:08:45] Mob Rules it just meant that they [1:08:47] identified issues that we then looked at [1:08:50] and said for most of them yes this is [1:08:53] the location that actually scores really [1:08:55] well and we should include it and one of [1:08:57] which is not necessarily in Marvin but a [1:08:59] lot of Marvin resonance would use which [1:09:01] is Ray Road and Marvin School [1:09:03] some locations didn't make it in [1:09:08] they're also not necessarily in this [1:09:10] part of the county more towards the [1:09:13] Indian Trail stylings Monroe area where [1:09:15] there are intersections that have [1:09:18] objectively bad congestion and safety [1:09:21] scores the problem is they've already [1:09:22] been essentially built out and so the [1:09:25] solution is not necessarily improving [1:09:27] that intersection it's improving the [1:09:28] corridor which is beyond our capability [1:09:32] of what we're considering through this [1:09:33] process [1:09:34] also the carpo [1:09:37] prioritization process for their [1:09:39] long-range plan historically is only [1:09:41] looked at Corridor widenings or New [1:09:42] Roads your Monroe expressways your [1:09:45] Providence roads of the world not [1:09:46] necessarily intersection improvements [1:09:48] but we successfully argued over the last [1:09:51] couple years that one there just isn't [1:09:53] enough money to do everything you've [1:09:55] talked about in the past and secondly [1:09:57] you can get a lot of [1:09:58] cost-effective improvements by focusing [1:10:01] at larger intersection particularly the [1:10:03] ones that are too expensive for the [1:10:04] locals to consider on their own a [1:10:06] perfect example is 75 and Potter which [1:10:09] is in downtown Mineral Springs if you're [1:10:11] driving towards Monroe on 75 it's a bad [1:10:15] intersection you have a lot right on the [1:10:17] intersection and a part of the reason [1:10:18] why the intersection is complicated to [1:10:20] improve because you have the railroad [1:10:21] tracks not even 100 yards to the north [1:10:23] why should a town be responsible for [1:10:26] improving an intersection and on an NC [1:10:29] Highway and a class one Freight Railroad [1:10:33] as opposed to the dot so that's why we [1:10:36] were able to successfully argue that in [1:10:38] situations like that they should be able [1:10:40] to be evaluated through carpo's [1:10:41] long-range plan meaning they make it [1:10:43] into the step and they get implemented [1:10:45] by the dot without local match and and [1:10:47] that impacts three intersections all of [1:10:50] which are actually going to be evaluated [1:10:52] in this step cycle uh 74 and 601 is one [1:10:55] of the highest Freight bottlenecks in [1:10:58] the entire region [1:10:59] Rocky River and Old Charlotte Highway [1:11:01] that is where the railroad the CSX [1:11:04] railroad going to Charlotte crosses at a [1:11:06] diagonal you actually have two railroad [1:11:07] crossings within 100 yards of that [1:11:09] intersection is horrible we actually [1:11:12] submitted that as a railroad project so [1:11:14] it might get funded not as a highway [1:11:15] Improvement project but as a railroad [1:11:18] Improvement project which is a different [1:11:19] pot of funds and then one in hemby [1:11:23] Bridge which are two intersections right [1:11:24] there in their downtown which have a [1:11:26] huge amount of flood Plains very [1:11:28] congested and is in need of improvement [1:11:31] it's going to be very expensive and [1:11:33] there's no way that hemby bridge could [1:11:35] come up with the local match on its own [1:11:36] that's actually being submitted as a [1:11:39] step project as well so we've we've [1:11:42] grown and matured and been able to take [1:11:44] advantage of different flexibility and [1:11:46] pots of funds to implement these [1:11:48] recommendations [1:11:51] so what people care about the most is [1:11:54] did my intersection make the list so [1:11:55] here's here's the list there's 15 uh [1:11:58] there is a score associated with them I [1:12:00] will not say that the highest scoring [1:12:02] one is the number one priority because [1:12:05] we partner all the time we obviously [1:12:08] have partnered with the village we've [1:12:10] partnered with the dot with [1:12:11] municipalities and [1:12:14] whoever wants to submit a project and [1:12:16] partner with us becomes our priority [1:12:18] this just helped us determine what [1:12:20] should make it into the list for example [1:12:23] were [1:12:24] committing seventy five thousand dollars [1:12:27] in partnership with Wesley Chapel for [1:12:29] the fourth intersection Newtown and [1:12:31] Cuthbertson we the dot said we think a [1:12:34] roundabout is the right thing to put [1:12:36] here [1:12:37] we don't have all the money we'd like to [1:12:39] go to carpo for some we need some local [1:12:40] match [1:12:41] Wesley Chapel and Union County would you [1:12:44] come up with the money [1:12:46] Wesley Chapel is already committed to it [1:12:48] Board of Commissioners are going to [1:12:50] consider that at their meeting on [1:12:52] Tuesday fairly confident that that's [1:12:54] going to get approved so that's an [1:12:57] example of partnership and how we're [1:12:59] moving these ahead [1:13:00] so I'll stop here for a sec do you have [1:13:03] any questions about this list or what I [1:13:05] presented so far [1:13:11] okay [1:13:13] so [1:13:14] there were two I'm sorry there's one [1:13:16] location that's on this list now which [1:13:18] was Stacy Howie and [1:13:21] wax on Marvin [1:13:24] I would note that [1:13:26] you are also being considered or you've [1:13:29] also been asked as a part of previous [1:13:33] critical intersection analyzes to [1:13:35] approve lists one of which was Joe Carr [1:13:37] and Marvin and the reason why we weren't [1:13:39] able to advance that as a project was [1:13:41] because Marvin Road was on the Federal [1:13:43] Aid System The Dot may own 80 000 miles [1:13:47] of roads but only a subset of that the [1:13:50] most important roads actually are on the [1:13:52] Federal Aid System where they can use [1:13:53] federal dollars to make the Capital [1:13:55] Improvements that may be needed we were [1:13:58] able to between [1:14:00] City of Charlotte Union County and [1:14:03] Marvin we were able to successfully [1:14:04] argue that this road serves that caliber [1:14:07] of traffic and should be added it's [1:14:09] since been added so now it's an option [1:14:11] if the village in cooperation with the [1:14:15] county wanted to submit that [1:14:17] intersection to get designed and cost [1:14:20] estimates developed to help with future [1:14:22] Grant applications you also have the [1:14:24] option of Stacy Howie and wax on Marvin [1:14:26] I'll note that Union County [1:14:29] is willing to go into a 50 50 share on [1:14:33] the local match the estimated cost per [1:14:35] location is uh forty thousand dollars [1:14:38] that's the budget so twenty percent of [1:14:41] that's eight thousand dollars [1:14:42] we assume that if it's inside of [1:14:44] municipality we'll split at 50 50. so [1:14:46] your share is four thousand dollars [1:14:48] however we only have twenty thousand [1:14:50] dollars to work with so which means [1:14:51] we're talking five intersections five [1:14:53] intersections and we've had interest for [1:14:55] more than five so what [1:14:58] um we determined internally is a way to [1:15:00] be fair is to say okay with all the [1:15:04] municipalities that have two or more [1:15:07] locations you could consider we'll go 50 [1:15:09] 50 with you on the first one [1:15:11] but [1:15:13] for the subsequent one if you're willing [1:15:15] to put in all the match we could include [1:15:16] that in our list but otherwise you've [1:15:20] got to choose a location like if you [1:15:22] only want to go in on the 50 50 [1:15:23] Arrangement you'd have to choose which [1:15:25] one of these two locations you want to [1:15:27] have [1:15:28] um submitted as part of this design [1:15:30] Grant which is due to carpo at the end [1:15:32] of October so we have about two months [1:15:34] to figure this out and if you were [1:15:37] sitting in our chair how would you [1:15:38] prioritize that from if we had to choose [1:15:41] Joe car and Marvin [1:15:46] Beyond where where is uh where do we [1:15:49] stand with [1:15:51] uh [1:15:54] Waxhaw Marvin and bonds Grove Church we [1:15:58] executed the interlocal last week and we [1:16:02] are [1:16:03] we kind of run into a we'll work through [1:16:05] it but we're working we're we're working [1:16:07] through a little bit of Finance [1:16:09] contractual issues with the D.O.T [1:16:11] because our finance officer because [1:16:13] we're the we're the applicant [1:16:15] essentially and we're Contracting with [1:16:17] the dot the dot is saying well [1:16:21] you need to you need to acknowledge that [1:16:23] if there's overruns you're going to be [1:16:24] responsible for those two which our [1:16:25] finance department says well we don't [1:16:27] know what that number is so we can't [1:16:28] sign for it until we know what that [1:16:30] number is and it's that that [1:16:33] interpretation's actually and if Finance [1:16:36] director share you can confirm or deny [1:16:39] this that there's been recent changes in [1:16:40] like the responsibilities of Finance [1:16:42] departments for local governments that [1:16:45] kind of hits on that accounting [1:16:47] situation so we're trying to figure out [1:16:49] what to do but we'll we'll work on it so [1:16:52] that's the fact that we're in that [1:16:54] Contracting process right now so that [1:16:56] the dot can start the design process [1:16:58] concerning 12 months ago you were being [1:17:00] asked to consider putting grant money on [1:17:02] it is remarkably fast I mean yes Newtown [1:17:06] and Marvin's under construction right [1:17:07] now and that's great but how many years [1:17:09] ago did that process start so we're [1:17:12] pretty pleased that that's where we [1:17:14] actually stand with that right now [1:17:15] because that's got to be priority [1:17:17] especially when you're talking about the [1:17:19] widening of Providence that's that's why [1:17:21] that's why we identified it right that's [1:17:24] right and the dot agrees and that's why [1:17:25] we're that's why we're potentially going [1:17:27] to Design Within months [1:17:31] so I'd like to add um so in your packets [1:17:33] I have uh drafted a resolution [1:17:36] um the first part of the resolution is [1:17:38] uh supporting the 15 intersections in [1:17:41] their critical intersection findings [1:17:44] and I also then in the highlighted [1:17:46] section of that draft [1:17:48] um [1:17:48] up to council's discretion if we would [1:17:50] like to ask the county to include [1:17:52] both intersections no car Marvin and [1:17:54] Stacy Howie and Marvin or just one of [1:17:58] those in the grand application to crtpo [1:18:02] as Bjorn mentioned there is a funding [1:18:06] that we would have to be on the hook for [1:18:09] for that Grant application [1:18:11] um [1:18:12] so if we want to discuss that now I mean [1:18:15] or I think we can adopt the resolution [1:18:17] to supporting the intersections and then [1:18:19] have further discussion at the September [1:18:21] meeting [1:18:22] about the two intersections [1:18:25] correct it's Fourth that is correct we [1:18:28] don't it'd be nice to you know put this [1:18:30] issue to bed but you don't have to make [1:18:32] a decision on the design Grant [1:18:33] application at today's meeting you [1:18:36] really have through September to allow [1:18:38] us to then respond to it at our October [1:18:40] meetings [1:18:42] it's not but it's not today that's all [1:18:45] right but if we do one [1:18:47] um if we just do Joe car and Marvin we [1:18:49] would be on the hook for four thousand [1:18:51] of that Grant application if we do both [1:18:52] it would be 12 000 total correct [1:18:57] so putting things in perspective August [1:18:59] September October this is this is what [1:19:01] we're working on [1:19:06] I need a motion we want to talk about it [1:19:10] bring it up I mean they're both terrible [1:19:14] yeah I mean when when the Costco comes [1:19:17] online I suspect that [1:19:21] the roads that you can sneak through [1:19:22] from wax on Marvin over to 521 are going [1:19:25] to be [1:19:27] impacted when the who comes to where the [1:19:31] Costco online [1:19:33] where's the Costco [1:19:34] possum possum Hollow on 521 [1:19:40] I got a new home to go to [1:19:42] okay all right I mean I think we should [1:19:45] do both I mean I know it's going to be a [1:19:47] little bit more because we have to pick [1:19:48] both but I think if we can get the [1:19:50] process started for both of these [1:19:51] correct like that's really what you want [1:19:53] to do you've got to get the process [1:19:54] started once you get the process started [1:19:56] then we can really go out for more [1:19:58] funding opportunities yeah Step One is [1:20:00] identifying the location step two is [1:20:02] what should be done at that location [1:20:04] step three is getting the money to do [1:20:06] what was determined and stuff too so now [1:20:09] we're to step three right [1:20:11] get the money for it to do this no no [1:20:13] well no no I'm saying the money to build [1:20:15] it that's step three okay [1:20:18] okay do we have 12 000 if the council [1:20:20] decides to do both intersections we do [1:20:23] not we'd have to do a budget amendment [1:20:24] budget amendment okay that would be an [1:20:25] fy25 expense it would not be the bill [1:20:29] would not come to this fiscal year so [1:20:30] basically we would just be committing [1:20:32] those funds and then we'd incorporate [1:20:33] that 12 000 match for the grant [1:20:36] um [1:20:37] in next fiscal year okay and refresh my [1:20:40] memory what's the remedy for [1:20:42] Marvin School Road and Ray [1:20:45] we don't have one that hasn't been [1:20:46] designed either [1:20:49] okay I mean it could be dual lefts [1:20:51] that's something that's an option but I [1:20:53] I can't say hasn't been designed it just [1:20:55] yeah but it's and it's not only traffic [1:20:58] it's a lack of sidewalks we've had we've [1:21:01] had Hunter Oaks uh HOA reps call us in [1:21:03] the past saying hey can you guys install [1:21:05] a sidewalk there [1:21:07] no we can't [1:21:09] um but you know if we got a project this [1:21:12] is an example of where we could do [1:21:14] something like that [1:21:19] um [1:21:22] right [1:21:24] so Hunter I'm looking at the resolution [1:21:28] the second whereas it says identified [1:21:31] two intersections in Marvin Stacey Howie [1:21:34] and Waxhaw Marvin where's the second one [1:21:36] sorry that should just be one [1:21:40] I'm amending it as we go okay and then [1:21:43] we've got so we've got this [1:21:45] this Joe car and Marvin got it okay [1:21:48] Joe car and Marvin was identified in [1:21:50] their 2019 [1:21:51] and so that's why I wasn't in their [1:21:54] their new updated 2023 because it's [1:21:56] still eligible [1:21:57] that's fine I just wanted to clarify [1:22:00] that make sure that it didn't need to [1:22:02] have two and have both of them there or [1:22:04] just say one and just have for nine [1:22:08] okay I mean I'm I mean I'm good with [1:22:10] this what do you guys think I'm good [1:22:11] with it [1:22:15] could we add because the [1:22:18] for your sake for the two intersections [1:22:20] I have it reading that now be resolved [1:22:23] that the Village Council hereby supports [1:22:25] the results of the Union County 2023 [1:22:27] critical intersection analysis and [1:22:28] requesting intersections of Joe Carr and [1:22:30] Marvin [1:22:31] and the intersection of Stacy Howie and [1:22:33] wax on Marvin to be included in the [1:22:35] County's design Grant application do we [1:22:37] need to add languages and that funding [1:22:38] be committed in the next fiscal year [1:22:41] whatever works for you to to account for [1:22:44] those funds is fine [1:22:45] we'll deal with it I mean we'll go [1:22:47] through the interlocal process in 2024. [1:22:50] we need to we're good however okay [1:22:53] we're good I'll just put it in the [1:22:54] budget for next year [1:23:02] so yeah someone want to yeah I mean I'll [1:23:04] do it I'm just I'm good so Hunter you [1:23:07] actually changed the resolution Austin [1:23:08] is right now okay [1:23:10] so can I just do it as presented since [1:23:12] you're changing it or do you want me to [1:23:14] say it [1:23:15] okay so I'm going to make a motion to [1:23:17] adopt a resolution supporting the Union [1:23:19] County 2023 critical intersection [1:23:21] analysis and supportive including the [1:23:23] intersection of Joe Carr Road and Marvin [1:23:26] Road and the intersection of Stacy Howie [1:23:28] and Waxhaw Marvin roads to be included [1:23:30] in the crtpo design Grant application [1:23:34] further discussion [1:23:36] all those in favor aye promotion passes [1:23:40] thanks Bjorn thank you for your time [1:23:43] nice to see you you too [1:23:53] motion for five

session and uh [1:32:05] uh next up we have on the agendas [1:32:08] discuss and consider adoption of an [1:32:15] ordinance for conditional rezoning [1:32:17] application [1:32:18] cz2023-1 to reason the 1.51 acre located [1:32:24] Acres located at 9908 Newtown Road from [1:32:27] our Marvin residential to the Marvin [1:32:29] Harris District commercial only [1:32:33] okay so Council if you recall we held [1:32:36] the public hearing on August 8th heard [1:32:39] from the residents we closed that public [1:32:41] hearing and tabled the decision so this [1:32:44] is kind of that discussion portion [1:32:45] between the council [1:32:46] I do want to kind of go over uh just to [1:32:49] refresh your memory of the staff report [1:32:51] of the submittal and highlight some kind [1:32:54] of key points so this middle is for the [1:32:57] rezoning of the former Scott Wide [1:33:01] Property crane house property uh from [1:33:04] Marvin residential to the Marvin [1:33:06] Heritage District commercial only [1:33:08] the applicant is zapsa at all at all [1:33:14] um but uh zepsa Capital LLC they are [1:33:18] proposing to renovate the existing home [1:33:20] at a commercial kitchen and the proposal [1:33:24] of two additional commercial mixed use [1:33:26] retail buildings on the site [1:33:30] um [1:33:31] the applicant also uh [1:33:33] the the site from a buffer standpoint [1:33:36] it's a 20-foot no uh undisturbed buffer [1:33:40] on their property to couple with the 30 [1:33:42] feet of The Preserve common open space [1:33:44] for a total of 50 feet that back [1:33:46] building sits 84 feet off their rear [1:33:49] property line it sits 114 feet from the [1:33:52] property line of any Residential [1:33:53] Properties in The Preserve [1:33:56] um [1:33:58] the applicant is proposing [1:34:00] 28.26 percent of landscaping and [1:34:02] buffering about 12 percent of [1:34:04] pedestrian-oriented Hardscape and [1:34:06] outdoor amenities this total is 40 [1:34:08] percent of reserved open space for the [1:34:10] development which is succeeds the [1:34:13] minimum of 30 percent per the ordinance [1:34:16] the applicant is also proposing a [1:34:20] to construct originally [1:34:23] the easement at the front for the Marvin [1:34:26] Loop they were dedicating and he's been [1:34:27] to the Village but they have offered to [1:34:29] construct that eight foot path of their [1:34:32] portion of the Marvin loop it's per the [1:34:35] standards and has to be approved by [1:34:36] ncdot and us so it's going to be built [1:34:38] to the design standards that we're [1:34:40] working on for that Marvin Loop project [1:34:43] they're also proposing that connector [1:34:45] piece at the back of their lot to [1:34:46] connect with The Preserve internal Trail [1:34:50] the vehicle and access and [1:34:52] transportation [1:34:53] the property is being proposed to be [1:34:55] accessed from Newtown Road it will be a [1:34:57] right in right out configuration the [1:35:01] applicant has also agreed to consult [1:35:03] with DOT of any additional Road [1:35:05] improvements for their driveway entrance [1:35:10] and all that will be taken care of [1:35:11] during the preliminary plot and [1:35:13] construction document phase [1:35:15] parking the developer is proposing 53 [1:35:17] regular parking spots and four Ada [1:35:20] accessible parking spots for a total of [1:35:22] 57. as you recall the Marvin Heritage [1:35:25] district form-based code does not have a [1:35:27] minimum parking standard for non-ada [1:35:30] spots but this roughly equates to one [1:35:34] and [1:35:35] 400 square feet of commercial one spot [1:35:38] for every 400 [1:35:40] square feet of commercial retail space [1:35:43] the applicant is also looking to secure [1:35:45] additional shared use parking options on [1:35:46] other adjacent sites that will that's [1:35:49] that's the um that is up to the [1:35:52] applicant developer to secure those in [1:35:54] riding and work those agreements out [1:35:57] with any adjoining property owners as [1:35:58] they so choose [1:36:03] um I do want to hit on [1:36:05] the some of the deviation questions that [1:36:09] kind of came up during the public [1:36:10] comment because the applicant and their [1:36:12] some their current submittal being [1:36:13] considered there's only three requested [1:36:15] deviations there's not eight uh prior to [1:36:18] at their first submittal they submitted [1:36:20] a deviation chart perk that's required [1:36:23] per our ordinance those deviations [1:36:26] um regarding [1:36:28] setback building size all that stuff was [1:36:31] uh not needed because the form-based [1:36:34] code was amended those amendments were [1:36:35] being [1:36:37] addressed by staff and the village [1:36:39] attorney way prior to actually receiving [1:36:41] their application [1:36:43] um that went through planning board [1:36:44] Council approved those so there's their [1:36:47] proposal is compliant the only three [1:36:49] deviations left are the parking spots [1:36:52] being nine by 18 our ordinance requires [1:36:56] 10 [1:37:00] sorry hold on [1:37:03] where's that are the ordinance requires [1:37:05] 10 by 20 staff is okay with 9x18 that's [1:37:08] what we the minimum parking standard for [1:37:10] DOT that is also the minimum parking [1:37:11] size in Marvin Gardens [1:37:14] the applicant's also proposing to do a [1:37:16] crushed concrete parking service [1:37:18] compared to Paving the ordinance does [1:37:20] require that parking lot spaces must be [1:37:22] paved over any spots over 10 parking [1:37:25] spots [1:37:26] staff's okay with this deviation request [1:37:28] as well is because it does promote kind [1:37:30] of that Rural Preservation feel it also [1:37:32] helps with uh less impervious surface [1:37:34] they will they are required to do a [1:37:37] maintenance planning agreement for their [1:37:39] parking service so if if the rezoning is [1:37:41] approved they will submit that [1:37:43] maintenance plan in agreement with their [1:37:46] construction documents [1:37:48] the final deviation that's left is the [1:37:50] no designated loading space the [1:37:53] ordinance requires a 12 by 25 loading [1:37:55] space [1:37:56] they the applicant is proposing two [1:37:58] there's two parallel spots at the top of [1:38:01] the site [1:38:02] sorry I don't have it pulled off [1:38:05] but up here by their trash and I can [1:38:07] pull it up in PB those are going to be [1:38:09] designated [1:38:10] um a designated loading zone During [1:38:12] certain hours but it'd be used for [1:38:14] parking and outside those hours [1:38:16] so those are the only three deviations [1:38:18] being requested as part of the submittal [1:38:22] and the other five [1:38:24] that were I guess brought up [1:38:28] we were changing those deviations [1:38:31] before they even purchased the property [1:38:33] correct [1:38:35] and those and those five deviations were [1:38:38] based on [1:38:40] other municipalities and being coming up [1:38:43] to other Municipal other municipalities [1:38:47] standards correct earlier this year with [1:38:50] meeting with certain Property Owners [1:38:51] within the Heritage district and kind of [1:38:54] going through hey how you know working [1:38:55] on submittals they pointed some things [1:38:58] out dealing with inconsistencies and [1:38:59] kind of how it uh really impacts [1:39:03] even getting to the develop like getting [1:39:05] to the point where they can propose [1:39:06] something to us I discussed this with [1:39:08] chaplain chaplain identify him and I [1:39:10] both went through it highlighted [1:39:11] sections that were inconsistent didn't [1:39:13] make sense and those were sections that [1:39:15] were that were addressed [1:39:17] the applicant was following that process [1:39:19] because they submitted their rezoning [1:39:21] after the fact and obviously we're aware [1:39:22] and so when they when it was going [1:39:24] through planning board they catered the [1:39:27] the their side to what planning like the [1:39:29] ordinance that planning board [1:39:31] recommended so that's why it was kind of [1:39:33] following that process but other than [1:39:34] that yeah those those amendments started [1:39:37] prior to the rezoning okay and the three [1:39:40] remaining [1:39:41] deviations would you say that they would [1:39:44] be consistent with other municipalities [1:39:47] uh yes I mean the um parking space like [1:39:51] I said the 9x18 ncdot standard we also [1:39:54] allowed that that's the minimum parking [1:39:56] space requirement for Marvin Gardens the [1:39:58] parking surface most other [1:39:59] municipalities [1:40:01] you know they are the form-based code [1:40:03] says it has to be paid most of their [1:40:05] municipalities have in there where it [1:40:07] says [1:40:07] must be paved or you know some type of [1:40:11] hard surface Crush gravel something like [1:40:13] that and then it always has some turns [1:40:15] in there but it's uh subject to maybe [1:40:17] you know Village engineer or you know [1:40:19] Municipal engineer or planning directors [1:40:21] um discretion uh and same thing with the [1:40:24] loading zone most ordinances do require [1:40:26] a loading zone for any type of [1:40:27] commercial retail establishment [1:40:30] um [1:40:31] and they're still providing that but [1:40:33] it's also it's just how the [1:40:34] functionality of their site that's why [1:40:36] they're requesting this deviation [1:40:37] because it is a lot like a long and [1:40:39] narrow side compared to something that [1:40:40] has a little bit more movability per se [1:40:44] okay because I just want to make sure [1:40:45] that we're that we as a village are [1:40:48] consistent with other municipalities so [1:40:50] someone you know can't come in and say [1:40:53] that the that [1:40:54] were inconsistent right and the changes [1:40:57] that were made to the form-based code [1:40:58] were all when I took um was presenting [1:41:01] it to planning board like I said it was [1:41:02] in planning board for three months it [1:41:04] was April May and June [1:41:06] um [1:41:08] I provided them research of about 10 [1:41:10] different municipalities and what their [1:41:12] ordinances read for kind of similar like [1:41:14] neighborhood commercial [1:41:16] districts and that's how that those [1:41:19] amendments the form-based code were made [1:41:21] or derived were out of looking at [1:41:24] what other municipalities are doing how [1:41:26] it best impacts and best fits Marvin and [1:41:29] um you know to mention too is like I [1:41:30] said it's conditional zoning District so [1:41:33] things can always kind of be greater [1:41:35] than what we uh [1:41:38] can always kind of be amended to be [1:41:40] greater or requested to be greater than [1:41:41] what's in the ordinance okay thank you [1:41:49] so finally [1:41:51] um [1:41:51] after some discussion too with the [1:41:53] applicant and from the public hearing [1:41:55] the applicant has agreed on their site [1:41:57] plan to do a fence on the side property [1:42:00] line between the church and their [1:42:03] property they've also agreed to raise [1:42:05] the height of the fence to seven feet uh [1:42:09] from six to seven so it'll be seven feet [1:42:10] on the side and rear [1:42:16] um [1:42:20] honor I know that we we haven't [1:42:24] um [1:42:27] we're scheduled to have a meeting with [1:42:32] uh Weddington Methodist [1:42:35] so how does that impact any of this [1:42:37] today [1:42:38] if there's an like I said it goes back [1:42:41] to that shared agreement for parking [1:42:44] they are proposing the 57 spots on their [1:42:46] site [1:42:47] the districts intended like I said it's [1:42:50] kind of you know piece Milling like we [1:42:51] have the [1:42:53] no minimum parking standards because [1:42:54] it's supposed to be kind of a you know a [1:42:56] Village Center intertwined type [1:42:57] development throughout this is just the [1:43:00] first application it is one of the [1:43:02] smaller properties so if the applicant [1:43:04] does secure you know some type of shared [1:43:06] parking agreement through the church per [1:43:08] se [1:43:09] um it would not I mean impact this [1:43:12] rezoning it would just it would actually [1:43:13] benefit them it would it could also [1:43:15] potentially benefit the church [1:43:17] okay I just want to because I just want [1:43:19] to be [1:43:22] aware of and have everyone aware of work [1:43:25] that that we're still working through [1:43:28] other [1:43:30] concerns from the church and respectful [1:43:34] of them that that we work through those [1:43:36] concerns continue to work through those [1:43:38] concerns correct yeah yeah the [1:43:41] their site plan has those vehicular [1:43:44] stubbed to adjacent properties there at [1:43:46] the rear like I said that is [1:43:49] set up through the ordinance to have [1:43:51] that interconnectivity between [1:43:52] properties so potentially you know [1:43:55] additional parking could be at the rear [1:43:57] there could be some additional parking [1:43:59] at the front but that just has to be [1:44:01] agreed upon between the property owners [1:44:03] okay [1:44:11] Hunter for for mayor may I speak this is [1:44:13] chaplain Spencer we've also got the [1:44:15] development agreement you previously saw [1:44:18] a draft of the development agreement [1:44:21] in this zoning District [1:44:23] and in accordance with the proposed [1:44:25] ordinance if you do move forward with [1:44:27] approval you approve the development [1:44:29] agreement at the same time which sets [1:44:32] forth supplemental terms and conditions [1:44:35] there have been some minor deviations [1:44:39] and clarifications from the development [1:44:41] agreement that you saw in your agenda [1:44:43] packet [1:44:44] at the the first meeting uh one is in [1:44:48] section 4.3 vested rights [1:44:50] they proposed 10 years that would give [1:44:53] them 10 years to develop uh without any [1:44:56] changes or modifications in our rules [1:44:58] and regulations [1:45:00] I had originally suggested I think three [1:45:03] but hunter said that was um [1:45:05] too tight and he didn't like that I [1:45:08] think Hunter was at Bob the draft [1:45:10] language is for seven years and that's [1:45:12] something that Council can discuss also [1:45:15] in section 4.4 are the uses we added [1:45:19] language [1:45:20] so that each of the three special permit [1:45:24] uses that being the restaurant serving [1:45:28] alcohol the micro Brewery and the vet [1:45:30] clinic each one of those is now limit [1:45:33] limited to one use so there could only [1:45:35] be one restaurant unless they came back [1:45:37] before the board [1:45:39] or for a minor Amendment which they [1:45:41] could certainly do but they would have [1:45:42] to get another permit if there's a [1:45:45] second restaurant or a second [1:45:46] microbrewery [1:45:48] uh and we also addressed uh [1:45:52] the parking [1:45:55] uh and the um [1:45:58] and the sidewalk [1:46:00] um issues and just clarify that a little [1:46:02] bit more [1:46:04] along with regulations on the hours of [1:46:07] um the noise [1:46:13] chaplain where did you say the vested [1:46:15] rights were four section 4.3 [1:46:23] 4.6 [1:46:25] the term is seven the term is 4.3 so the [1:46:29] term of the agreement is kind of their [1:46:30] vested period so it is 70. okay all [1:46:33] right okay thank you [1:46:41] so all the all the terms within this [1:46:43] development agreement have already been [1:46:45] agreed upon by the applicant [1:46:49] um they have been discussed with Council [1:46:51] uh [1:46:53] so all these have been mutually agreed [1:46:55] upon but this is just kind of the the [1:46:57] document that kind of makes it binding [1:46:58] it does get recorded it incorporates the [1:47:01] site plan and all those Provisions uh [1:47:03] the elevations and all that [1:47:14] Hunter is there somewhere in here where [1:47:16] there cannot be a second hand [1:47:21] store remember we talked about that that [1:47:24] is yes that's the way they still have to [1:47:26] go through the special use permit [1:47:27] process [1:47:29] yeah but you said that we couldn't deny [1:47:32] it that way so we were going to put it [1:47:34] in this that and no buildings could they [1:47:36] have a second hand store until we get [1:47:38] that changed on the [1:47:41] use list [1:47:45] I don't know where's the group at City [1:47:50] that's what I'm saying I want that [1:47:54] basically is just to prohibit [1:47:57] um the use of because the way the [1:47:59] language reads it was a concern of [1:48:01] counsel [1:48:02] um [1:48:03] prohibit consignment thrift secondhand [1:48:05] store [1:48:06] as it just said prohibited use [1:48:13] it's [1:48:14] I don't I don't want a good will rolling [1:48:17] up in here and we can't prohibit [1:48:20] specific companies from being here [1:48:22] Goodwill would be second-hand [1:48:24] Consignment and I do not want a Goodwill [1:48:26] in there so I would [1:48:28] prefer that that is not a use that would [1:48:31] be allowed in this until we can get it [1:48:33] off of this list for the entire District [1:48:44] I I think it would be no it would be an [1:48:47] antique store [1:48:50] okay can we put that in there somewhere [1:48:53] because I do not want a Goodwill [1:48:55] I love Goodwill I donate to Goodwill [1:49:01] no well because that's a Goodwill store [1:49:03] I mean I don't want any [1:49:06] you but you can't prohibit Goodwill from [1:49:09] coming in so I do not want that is my [1:49:12] fear is it a Goodwill will come in there [1:49:22] and antiques is different it would be a [1:49:26] design store or an antique store but [1:49:28] we're [1:49:32] you can go down the Antique Road for [1:49:34] that not a consignment thrift second [1:49:37] hand [1:49:38] Hunter and chaplain y'all can work out [1:49:40] some language where the primary use [1:49:41] would be to [1:49:42] uh secondary I just I don't [1:49:47] where the primary use is that if you [1:49:49] want to y'all can work on that language [1:49:51] can you cite yes we we do need to [1:49:53] confirm that the applicant [1:49:56] consents to that [1:50:00] stuff [1:50:01] they do consent chaplains can you you [1:50:05] can chaplain I guess I'm assuming that [1:50:08] you can cite [1:50:10] specific [1:50:12] stores like you can't [1:50:15] yeah we're here to regulate you [1:50:20] no we can't prohibit especially a [1:50:22] specific store from coming in [1:50:24] you can't prohibit a McDonald's you can [1:50:26] prohibit a fast food restaurant uh [1:50:30] that has a window so we go after uses [1:50:34] but I think we can add the language that [1:50:37] you'll prohibit a consignment and [1:50:39] secondhand store and I do concur that [1:50:42] that is completely different than an [1:50:43] antique store [1:50:48] okay thanks chaplain [1:50:54] so chaplain for them to uh to adopt the [1:50:56] development agreement they just need to [1:50:57] adopt it as amended to add the provision [1:50:59] there to prohibit consignment thrift [1:51:02] secondhand store as a use [1:51:04] yes and with uh and authorized the [1:51:07] manager to execute with any final [1:51:09] changes okay [1:51:11] we need to have somebody to approve it [1:51:13] on our end that'd be the manager [1:51:20] development agreement as amended [1:51:23] to prohibit [1:51:41] I unlocked it this morning [1:51:45] any other questions by Council [1:51:49] so Chaplin in the just uh in the packets [1:51:51] I have an ordinance for the rezoning do [1:51:54] they need to make us to do a motion to [1:51:56] adopt the ordinance for the rezoning and [1:51:58] then do a separate motion for the [1:51:59] development agreement [1:52:01] no it is all you you have both in the [1:52:04] ordinance already [1:52:05] okay your ordinance includes the [1:52:09] rezoning [1:52:10] and the development agreement and they [1:52:12] can just say the development agreement [1:52:14] as amended because we know [1:52:16] what the the amendment is through this [1:52:18] discussion it's just one Amendment [1:52:27] s [1:52:30] for development agreement [1:52:33] our 4A development agreement [1:52:35] yes your um ordinance has section one [1:52:39] with the zoning [1:52:40] and then uh section two is the [1:52:43] development agreement [1:52:45] along with section three so it's already [1:52:47] governed so [1:52:49] Okay so [1:52:50] sorry chaplain go ahead [1:52:52] yeah but I was just saying it's already [1:52:54] comprehensive so [1:52:56] the only thing you need to add in your [1:52:58] motion from the language that is already [1:53:00] in there would be the development [1:53:01] agreement as amended and authorized The [1:53:04] Village manager to execute the final [1:53:06] version [1:53:07] so [1:53:11] Mr Mayor has a question [1:53:13] um he's like well [1:53:15] we don't want we may not want two pizza [1:53:18] places within the same thing I know [1:53:20] we've got it where if it's a brewery [1:53:22] microbrewery they have to come and ask [1:53:24] if there's more than one restaurant [1:53:26] serving alcohol more than one they have [1:53:28] to come and ask and then also the [1:53:30] Veterinary Clinic [1:53:32] so are we good with just those or do we [1:53:35] want to say something like like [1:53:38] like you know do we want two pizza [1:53:40] places and in all honesty it's kind of [1:53:43] it's kind of getting the chaplains [1:53:45] things then you're kind of being nip [1:53:46] like regulating you you're right you [1:53:49] only can regulate the use the use is [1:53:50] restaurant right right um You can't [1:53:52] necessarily then get into the to the [1:53:54] menu and who it is [1:53:57] um and from a market standpoint I mean [1:54:00] that's kind of if they have two tenants [1:54:01] that want to have a pizza place and [1:54:03] think that they both can be competitive [1:54:13] where you'd never see uh you know that [1:54:16] they wouldn't allow it because they're [1:54:19] entities like I said that's something [1:54:21] that they would probably have to have in [1:54:22] their own kind of type of lease [1:54:23] agreement [1:54:24] um we can't get into regulating [1:54:30] they're not sure what they're going to [1:54:32] do with that [1:54:33] I think that would they be able to [1:54:35] they'd still have the same opportunity [1:54:39] correct [1:54:44] they would likely do that on the private [1:54:45] end to not have competitive tenants so [1:54:49] they would be long-term tenants I would [1:54:50] assume [1:54:58] oh yeah [1:55:03] yeah they want to put an ice cream store [1:55:05] in it but they the other group owners [1:55:08] talked about an ice cream store it may [1:55:10] be first in wins or you know you just [1:55:12] don't know yeah better getting it to win [1:55:14] it [1:55:20] all right any other questions [1:55:25] so Austin has amended the um I will say [1:55:28] before last name before the adoption is [1:55:30] the proposed land use land use [1:55:32] consistency and reasonable statement I [1:55:35] have provided you guys a draft of that [1:55:37] chaplain last question in my ordinance I [1:55:40] just [1:55:41] have them kind of adopting this they [1:55:44] don't need I'm going to read it but they [1:55:45] don't need to have it in there they just [1:55:47] it just needs to be incorporated into [1:55:48] the minutes as part of their motion [1:55:49] correct correct they can incorporate it [1:55:52] by reference okay has been propelled I [1:55:55] think to save meeting time [1:55:58] um so I'm going to read this for you [1:56:00] guys [1:56:01] um The Village Council finds that the [1:56:02] proposed rezoning of 9908 Newtown Road [1:56:05] further identified by parcel number zero [1:56:07] six two two five zero zero nine a from [1:56:11] our Marvin

connectivity within the district [1:57:26] the proposed rezoning of 9908 Newtown [1:57:28] Road from R Marvin to the Marvin [1:57:31] Heritage District commercial only is [1:57:33] reasonable and and is in the public [1:57:35] interest because it promotes the goals [1:57:36] and recommendations of the adopted 2020 [1:57:38] land use plan the Marvin Heritage [1:57:40] District small area plan and any other [1:57:42] officially adopted plans [1:57:56] there's a typo [1:58:03] nope [1:58:06] I know we've we go to it for a vote um [1:58:10] you know I I want to assure that [1:58:15] the audience that this we've looked at [1:58:19] this for numerous years before I was [1:58:22] even elected this has always been talked [1:58:25] about a Heritage district and what could [1:58:27] be in this [1:58:28] District [1:58:30] it required probably a land use change [1:58:34] or plans that we did [1:58:36] it was vetted by planning board members [1:58:41] and I think uh to the concern I and I [1:58:46] I hear the concerns of some of the [1:58:48] residents that that abut to this [1:58:50] property but uh you know I gotta say I'm [1:58:53] I'm not I think the biggest concern I [1:58:55] heard was safety [1:58:57] and I [1:58:59] I can't obviously nobody can promise [1:59:02] anything but if it's related to the [1:59:04] alcohol being served I I I'm trying to [1:59:08] wrap my head around that when it comes [1:59:10] to how Firethorne has served alcohol and [1:59:14] food for numerous years and there are [1:59:17] Pathways that lead to almost every home [1:59:20] in that neighborhood and we haven't [1:59:22] experienced that so with with that said [1:59:25] we also talked about uh [1:59:27] um you know the the changes that we what [1:59:30] we would like to see happening here and [1:59:32] how that's going to work with you know [1:59:35] we would encourage the walkability so I [1:59:37] know there was a traffic concern here [1:59:40] one of the things that we learned when [1:59:43] we did this is that it was walkable it [1:59:46] was accessible not necessarily by [1:59:48] parking with cars which still in in my [1:59:51] mind is a concern the parking and how we [1:59:55] address that [1:59:57] um [1:59:58] or how it gets addressed if you know and [2:00:01] hopefully it is if if this passes and it [2:00:04] goes through as a restaurant that it is [2:00:06] a successful restaurant but uh [2:00:08] um I [2:00:10] I even though I don't vote I I take this [2:00:13] this stuff very seriously and I I want [2:00:15] to assure that I've had conversations [2:00:18] with I think almost every council member [2:00:21] here and you know we are aware of that [2:00:24] and I think there's been a lot of [2:00:25] thought put into this and [2:00:27] um if there's [2:00:29] no other comments or thing I guess we're [2:00:32] ready for a vote right [2:00:37] okay I'm going to make a motion to adopt [2:00:39] an ordinance to rezone the 1.518 Acres [2:00:42] located at 9908 Newtown Road from our [2:00:47] Marvin residential to the Marvin [2:00:48] Heritage District commercial only and [2:00:51] adopt the following land use consistency [2:00:53] and reasonableness statement that Hunter [2:00:56] just read and to approve the development [2:00:59] agreement as amended and authorize the [2:01:01] manager to execute the development [2:01:03] agreement [2:01:06] further discussion [2:01:09] all those in favor [2:01:11] aye [2:01:15] all right [2:01:20] um [2:01:23] thank you mayor [2:01:25] I believe I'm going to sign out unless [2:01:27] y'all need anything further from me [2:01:30] thank you all right good [2:01:32] meeting and a good long holiday weekend [2:01:35] thank you you too thank [2:01:37] you that's right [2:01:40] all right next up we have discuss and [2:01:41] consider acceptance of the drainage and [2:01:44] 30 study and 30 plans and consider [2:01:48] approval of change order [2:01:53] well thank you [2:01:56] change order up to 56 000 for 100 [2:01:58] drawings [2:02:02] no [2:02:04] okay so the final study is in your [2:02:06] agenda packets hopefully you've had a [2:02:07] chance to review it particularly [2:02:09] councilman Wortman because they [2:02:11] Incorporated the changes that you had [2:02:13] requested so I want to make sure that's [2:02:15] final and [2:02:17] we're ready to roll with what's [2:02:18] presented so I did put the final [2:02:22] study in that you guys saw a couple [2:02:24] months ago which is pretty much nothing [2:02:25] but a bunch of engineered drawn numbers [2:02:27] you probably don't know what you're [2:02:28] looking at but it's in there [2:02:31] um and then the final design [2:02:33] is also in there also ask them to do [2:02:35] some schematics of what it would look [2:02:37] like so I don't know if you had a chance [2:02:39] to look at that but looks pretty [2:02:41] um pretty nice the Landscaping plan is [2:02:43] also included in there [2:02:45] if you recall when we initially went [2:02:48] into these conversations we [2:02:50] had mentioned the Whole 30 percent [2:02:52] numerous times and wasn't really quite [2:02:54] sure what that meant initially so I had [2:02:56] them clarify that basically we would be [2:02:58] getting a portion of a final document so [2:03:01] 100 percent of the drawings or what was [2:03:04] what would be necessary to actually go [2:03:06] out for a proper bid would be that 100 [2:03:10] percent [2:03:11] drawing and that would include all the [2:03:14] different specifications and everything [2:03:15] that's needed to have an engineered [2:03:16] stamp drawn sealed package to send it [2:03:19] out the door there may be an opportunity [2:03:21] for us to find a contractor to do the [2:03:25] work as presented as close to [2:03:28] as close to what we can see based on [2:03:30] that 30 plan here's the images I'm not [2:03:32] sure if y'all saw that Christina one [2:03:35] question real quick [2:03:36] um just following up did did [2:03:39] we locate where the well is and no I did [2:03:45] ask them that question she said that it [2:03:47] would have to be something that they do [2:03:48] in a survey [2:03:51] um in the 100 so she okay so we're not [2:03:54] sure if this pipe goes right through the [2:03:56] well or not [2:03:58] so my question to you all is [2:04:00] um number one do you want to do the 100 [2:04:03] if so [2:04:05] uh it would we could either do a budget [2:04:08] amendment from fund balance we obviously [2:04:09] don't have the money to do the 100 [2:04:10] drawings [2:04:12] um we could tie it into the park project [2:04:14] and pull it from that or we can try to [2:04:16] RFP with what we've got presented here [2:04:19] however if we do that I want to make [2:04:21] sure that y'all fully understand that we [2:04:24] have to let have a level of discretion [2:04:25] of the contractor there has to be a [2:04:27] little bit of understanding that they [2:04:29] they might not do it exactly what you [2:04:31] see here we can try as close to possible [2:04:33] as getting that done but we would have [2:04:36] to offer them the opportunity to use [2:04:37] their discretion on some of the things [2:04:39] we won't be able to get specific on [2:04:42] grading or any of those expectations for [2:04:45] flattening the moat so to say [2:04:48] um we would have to just kind of [2:04:51] play that by year well they do have [2:04:53] specifics on elevation on this [2:04:56] so the grading [2:04:59] elevations would be followed by by this [2:05:03] um I'm not I don't well I do know that [2:05:07] when I asked her about getting rid of [2:05:10] the moat that would have been part of [2:05:12] the Topo because they didn't actually do [2:05:14] exact Topo so I don't know if the [2:05:16] grading is exactly 100 accurate so it [2:05:20] very well could be I just don't want to [2:05:22] have the expectation that it's going to [2:05:23] be a you know a two percent grade or [2:05:25] whatever and it ends up being 3.5 [2:05:29] I mean I think that uh [2:05:32] there's enough information here if [2:05:36] if I was doing this project myself say I [2:05:39] was bidding on this I think there's [2:05:41] enough information here to get a pretty [2:05:43] accurate [2:05:44] um [2:05:46] representation of what [2:05:48] they're looking for here I mean this [2:05:51] isn't rocket science it's it's a [2:05:53] drainage pond with a drainage pipe and [2:05:56] re-grading to make it aesthetically [2:05:59] pleasing and functional so [2:06:01] um [2:06:03] I mean I I think I would uh consider [2:06:06] doing the RFP and see what we get back [2:06:09] if we if we find that we don't have [2:06:13] contractors or comfortable with doing it [2:06:15] at this level then we [2:06:17] consider the 100 plans [2:06:20] but [2:06:22] that's just my opinion on it [2:06:24] and we can definitely do that just I [2:06:26] want to kind of compare it to to Village [2:06:29] Hall and essentially like when we [2:06:30] created Village Hall we had a Sign [2:06:32] Sealed stamped architectural and [2:06:34] engineered drawn [2:06:36] plan so this would essentially be like [2:06:39] us [2:06:39] building Village Hall giving only a [2:06:42] fraction of the plans to say hey this is [2:06:45] what we're looking for use your [2:06:46] discretion to do it and there very well [2:06:47] could be enough for a normal grading [2:06:50] contractor to do all this stuff I just [2:06:51] want to make sure y'all understand that [2:06:55] we can put it out see what kind of [2:06:57] results we get back and then if we don't [2:06:59] get anything we can go from there [2:07:05] what do you think yeah [2:07:07] okay yeah [2:07:18] so um [2:07:20] we do there are specific most of the [2:07:22] important features have specifics as far [2:07:25] as the pipe location now it may not be [2:07:27] exactly precisely where they've [2:07:29] presented it because it's again it's not [2:07:31] 100 survey drawn plans but they could [2:07:35] probably figure out roughly what what [2:07:38] should happen I mean it's probably [2:07:39] anything we do at this point is going to [2:07:41] help [2:07:41] so yeah it may not solve the problem 100 [2:07:44] it may be uh 85 and we can address that [2:07:48] at that point so do we think that we [2:07:49] should do it now or wait until we find [2:07:51] out if the okay I think that we should [2:07:54] move forward on a drainage plan for [2:07:56] Village Hall immediately the [2:07:59] um and [2:08:00] and if there is a shortcoming on the [2:08:03] drainage [2:08:04] which I highly doubt given this plan but [2:08:08] if there is we can address it when we [2:08:11] develop the adjacent property with that [2:08:14] drainage system [2:08:16] okay [2:08:18] Andy feels good about it [2:08:21] I'm good [2:08:25] well you don't get about it anyway Joe [2:08:28] um all right so I'm going to make a [2:08:29] motion to accept the drainage plans as [2:08:32] presented and direct staff to solicit [2:08:34] rfps based on the limited 30 plan [2:08:38] and authorize a manager to execute the [2:08:41] oh no that's it [2:08:44] RFP based on the limited 30 plans period [2:08:49] further discussion [2:08:51] all's in favor [2:08:53] aye the motion passes so I just want to [2:08:55] remind you too this project wasn't [2:08:56] budgeted so when we get the rfps we'll [2:08:58] have to do a budget amendment on that [2:09:00] just let you know [2:09:05] I don't know I don't know if this is the [2:09:08] appropriate time to bring this up I was [2:09:09] just going to ask the the other issue [2:09:12] with leakage I [2:09:14] um [2:09:15] where are we at with that yeah that's a [2:09:17] good question we're still identifying [2:09:18] that Source we think that we have come [2:09:21] to the conclusion that it's irrigation [2:09:22] the drip line [2:09:25] but we are still trying to isolate it [2:09:27] we've had a leak person come out and [2:09:29] they told us they identified a leak [2:09:30] however when the contractor came out to [2:09:34] fix the leak when they dug it all up it [2:09:35] was not leaking we have had the [2:09:37] irrigation lines pressurized twice they [2:09:40] said that it wasn't the irrigation lines [2:09:42] um so we're waiting for a dry day so we [2:09:45] can kind of see if it's from the [2:09:47] irrigation which is what we think it is [2:09:49] or if it's groundwater so since they [2:09:52] said it was a leak and they went in to [2:09:54] fix the leak and they broke up all the [2:09:55] concrete and there was no leak uh we [2:09:58] shouldn't have to pay for that and they [2:10:00] need to give us our money back and give [2:10:02] us some money to fix it so we had we've [2:10:04] been fighting them and unfortunately the [2:10:06] leak and the leak person so [2:10:09] Roto-Rooter was called Roto-Rooter came [2:10:11] out they said that they can't identify [2:10:13] where the leak is coming from they [2:10:15] recommended a vendor come out called [2:10:17] leak Squad leak Squad came out they shut [2:10:20] the lines down they ran pressurized [2:10:22] tests they do use this audio device that [2:10:25] they put into the pipes to see where [2:10:27] it's coming from or in the ground they [2:10:28] heard something in the area where they [2:10:31] marked that it was a leak we think that [2:10:34] what they heard was a frog [2:10:36] um [2:10:37] they yes [2:10:40] which one of our experts you have to be [2:10:43] there to get the whole story Joe but yes [2:10:46] yeah so [2:10:52] they they marked it off they came in to [2:10:54] locate the city came or the utilities [2:10:56] came in did a locate on the gas line [2:11:00] um they came out the the crew [2:11:02] Roto-Rooter then came back out they [2:11:04] actually did what the contract said they [2:11:06] were supposed to do excavate find the [2:11:09] location where it was located and then [2:11:10] make the repair so they were out here [2:11:12] for probably I don't know three hours [2:11:14] Excavating isolating the line getting [2:11:18] ready to do the repair so per the [2:11:19] contract they really have done [2:11:21] everything they said they were going to [2:11:22] do except for the repair section we have [2:11:26] asked them to deduct that from the bill [2:11:27] which they have done I'm also still [2:11:30] trying to fight with the leaked person [2:11:31] to say basically that you came out here [2:11:33] and identified a leak and there was no [2:11:35] leak so until we can fully discover that [2:11:37] there is truly no leak [2:11:40] we're kind of at a standstill right now [2:11:42] we've dug the hole still dug out which [2:11:44] is why we've got it still open because [2:11:46] we want to make sure it's still in fact [2:11:47] not a leak where they said it was [2:11:50] um [2:11:51] it's it's rained every single day since [2:11:54] uh since it's happened the whole dug up [2:11:56] did they go back and do that [2:11:59] audio thing and [2:12:01] because that's where they can determine [2:12:03] where no they haven't yeah okay because [2:12:05] I would recommend wouldn't that make [2:12:07] sense after it stuck up because if it's [2:12:09] saying it's there and they look and it's [2:12:11] it's clearly not there well it wasn't [2:12:13] there when when they were out when they [2:12:15] actually excavated everything and to [2:12:16] isolate where this they said the leak [2:12:18] was [2:12:19] there was no there was nothing coming [2:12:21] out we waited a couple of hours while [2:12:24] they were here and left it open it [2:12:25] nothing happened they went shut off the [2:12:27] water shut it back on nothing changed we [2:12:30] also left it there the entire day it [2:12:32] didn't fill back up it did fill back up [2:12:34] the next day because it rained [2:12:37] um and we were going to keep it filled [2:12:39] up until it dried out we were gonna [2:12:41] we were gonna keep it I'm sorry keep it [2:12:43] open until it dried out completely so we [2:12:45] were able to turn the irrigation back on [2:12:47] to see if it actually filled back up [2:12:50] but unfortunately it's rained every day [2:12:52] since then [2:12:53] um what we third thing I want to add [2:12:55] just for clarification for Joe [2:12:58] one of the tests that they did was they [2:13:00] turned off the main valve in Christina's [2:13:03] office for a 24-hour period and looked [2:13:06] at the at the meter there was no change [2:13:08] in the meter so there's no way there [2:13:13] could be a leak between that it's not on [2:13:16] any of our main lines so it's not [2:13:18] underground and we did it again we did [2:13:21] it we did that twice they did it twice [2:13:23] result there's no water escaping [2:13:25] anywhere so therefore I feel very [2:13:28] confident in the fact that there's no [2:13:30] leak between the building and the meter [2:13:33] at the road with the fact that we've had [2:13:35] rain and with what we just discussed [2:13:38] is it drainage [2:13:40] is it the foundation it works [2:13:44] I feel like and and this is why we're [2:13:46] back at the irrigation because what [2:13:49] we've found is the irrigation box stays [2:13:51] full of water the valve box that's by [2:13:53] beside the side and it's off of a well [2:13:55] correct it's off the well yes but it [2:13:58] comes around but right where I'm getting [2:14:00] at it is is there were several [2:14:02] underground uh passages under the [2:14:04] sidewalk and such for the irrigation [2:14:06] that would have the water if it's [2:14:09] leaking in that valve box and filling [2:14:11] that valve box there's opportunity for [2:14:13] it to run underground and and come to [2:14:17] that point so the reason [2:14:20] we feel like it is the valve box has is [2:14:24] is leaking water in there as the other [2:14:25] valve boxes on the property are dry [2:14:27] that's the only one that seems to be [2:14:29] consistently full of water so [2:14:33] I'm not seeing 100 percent there could [2:14:37] be some other source but we want to rule [2:14:39] that out because that's the next most [2:14:42] likely Source if that is not in in fact [2:14:44] the source of water then there is [2:14:48] something that [2:14:50] is either groundwater like a [2:14:54] spring under here somewhere or something [2:14:57] that was missed in the soils [2:15:02] preparation which they did a lot of [2:15:05] undercut and replacement of soil on this [2:15:09] property before this building was built [2:15:10] because of the if you remember I'm not [2:15:12] sure if y'all remember this but there [2:15:13] was a whale that was on the property [2:15:15] that [2:15:17] they had closed that they had identified [2:15:19] in construction from my understanding it [2:15:21] was closed off everything was done like [2:15:23] it was supposed to [2:15:25] um so I don't know it's well it's [2:15:28] actually not even on our property the [2:15:30] well that was identified was is on [2:15:32] Robbie's property it's that little box [2:15:34] over there then subsequently we found [2:15:37] another well [2:15:38] which is way up by the road when they [2:15:41] cleared that has been capped so there [2:15:46] those are the two Well locations that we [2:15:48] are aware of now I do know that prior to [2:15:53] construction when we walked this area [2:15:55] there was a lot of water that sat in [2:15:58] this area here that we assumed was [2:16:02] coming from the drainage from the ditch [2:16:05] now I'm not going to rule this out [2:16:08] that [2:16:10] it could possibly even be underground [2:16:13] from that and if we do our this this [2:16:17] re-grading for the drainage and all that [2:16:19] stuff [2:16:20] address that may address it as well so [2:16:22] there's there's [2:16:24] a couple of things I'd like to see and [2:16:27] I'd like to at least [2:16:30] make sure that it's not the irrigation [2:16:33] 100 before we just look into others the [2:16:36] next steps that we have to address it [2:16:37] are to one get a couple good hot warm [2:16:40] days where it's not going to rain [2:16:42] keep the irrigation on as we have it now [2:16:44] see if it fills back up if it does we'll [2:16:47] shut it off see if it goes away and if [2:16:49] it does that tells us it's irrigation if [2:16:51] it doesn't [2:16:53] then we got another problem that we've [2:16:55] got to figure out I.E either groundwater [2:16:57] or something in this oil or or this over [2:16:59] here right okay so okay it's going to be [2:17:03] a process let's just put it that way [2:17:05] it's not going to happen overnight [2:17:06] unfortunately [2:17:08] but we are going to have to do [2:17:10] the repair on the concrete over here so [2:17:12] at some point we'll figure all that out

this she's she's sick this is [2:29:01] just something that the county needs [2:29:03] this is our tax settlement for the year [2:29:04] not the fiscal year but the [2:29:06] the calendar year [2:29:10] they just have to have you all approve [2:29:12] this [2:29:13] so [2:29:15] hopefully there's no questions [2:29:19] the tax collection settlement [2:29:22] this is what they collected [2:29:26] 3.74 I'm sorry 1 million [2:29:31] 374 000. [2:29:43] I think she just needs y'all to approve [2:29:46] it [2:30:10] all right [2:30:14] um Laura [2:30:16] foreign [2:30:23] to that [2:31:13] we do pay in advance [2:31:15] there's [2:31:16] about six months it's not completely a [2:31:19] whole year in advance but it's [2:31:22] yeah I don't know the exact month but [2:31:24] it's not [2:31:25] so we get the [2:31:28] we start collecting taxes around [2:31:31] November Feb November December January [2:31:33] we have already floated [2:31:36] the cost of that from July 1st over [2:31:40] so yes we do [2:31:51] it [2:31:57] in July or whatever [2:32:01] taxes are what September [2:32:11] it's because our fiscal year starts July [2:32:13] 1st [2:32:18] I mean we can do that but it would [2:32:20] require us [2:32:24] but it would it would require us to [2:32:26] change in the middle of our we we do the [2:32:28] projections based on a budget year so [2:32:30] that would basically essentially mean if [2:32:32] they're doing it by calendar year we [2:32:34] would have to change mid mid budget [2:32:36] you know what I'm saying like if they [2:32:38] give us a rate from January to December [2:32:40] we wouldn't have set that into our [2:32:42] budget for the next for the appropriate [2:32:45] year so if they like for example if they [2:32:46] say it's going to cost you 300 a [2:32:49] household from January to December our [2:32:51] fiscal year comes into play in July so [2:32:54] we will have had to have known [2:32:56] for the next year in order to project [2:32:58] the rates out accurately because we [2:33:00] can't change the rates mid-year [2:33:15] um [2:33:20] I don't know if she prepared one but you [2:33:23] just needed you need a motion to accept [2:33:25] okay [2:33:33] all right so I'm going to make a motion [2:33:34] to approve and authorize the Union [2:33:36] County Tax Collector to Levy and collect [2:33:37] Village of Marvin taxes for 23-24 fiscal [2:33:40] year [2:33:41] all in favor [2:33:44] how easy was that [2:33:47] um [2:33:48] next up discussion in 2024 Marvin day [2:33:51] sponsorship Drive okay so this is me [2:33:55] so being on the Marvin Day committee [2:33:57] again this year [2:33:59] we are [2:34:00] not going to have because we're trying [2:34:03] to condense the day have it in one [2:34:05] location [2:34:06] we are not going to have Council sit on [2:34:10] different working groups [2:34:13] so we're going to have extra meetings [2:34:15] you're not going to have [2:34:17] extra tasks the one thing that we ask [2:34:21] you to do is go get sponsors now I know [2:34:24] it is hard for some of us to go and ask [2:34:25] people for money but the worst they can [2:34:28] say is no and then you say okay thank [2:34:30] you very much and you go on to the next [2:34:32] person [2:34:33] we have people that really get out and [2:34:35] do it we have people that don't so [2:34:38] that is what we are asking you to do for [2:34:40] Marvin Bay I'm not asking to get the [2:34:42] dunk tank again this year I'm not asking [2:34:45] you to be on a working group I'm asking [2:34:47] you to go get money so can we all [2:34:50] agree [2:34:52] that when we come back out [2:34:56] I would say our next meeting [2:34:58] we will have the list of previous [2:34:59] sponsors [2:35:01] people that have donated money who [2:35:04] haven't who we've reached out to who we [2:35:06] should be reaching out to [2:35:08] and we're going to divvy that up [2:35:11] and I need everybody's commitment that [2:35:13] they will go out and get money [2:35:15] or try to yeah [2:35:19] I think the only thing that we would [2:35:21] want to know [2:35:23] is with all the adjustments and changes [2:35:27] to your point being one location just to [2:35:30] know what we are able to present in [2:35:33] other words how how has it changed from [2:35:35] last year [2:35:37] how we're anticipating it to be more [2:35:39] successful [2:35:41] um that sort of thing you know just we [2:35:44] know what we're presenting that's all [2:35:47] Austin I need you back in there I have a [2:35:49] question for you [2:35:55] are we [2:35:57] still [2:36:00] convinced that you for Park is the [2:36:02] location [2:36:06] we've moved on we're past this point we [2:36:08] booked the band the location [2:36:11] the man is for the location the ship has [2:36:13] hailed [2:36:15] no yep the location [2:36:17] well only thing the only thing [2:36:21] we have a hundred percent control of the [2:36:23] location with ephra Park [2:36:26] if we want to continue to move if we [2:36:29] want to continue to move forward [2:36:31] which which we are we have 100 control [2:36:34] of V for part we have [2:36:37] we are always going to run up against [2:36:40] what we can't do with other locations [2:36:43] now can we augment eford Park I I [2:36:48] believe so if we get bigger and things [2:36:50] happen where we can ask for maybe the [2:36:53] high school parking lot to do a car show [2:36:55] to do uh I don't know some kind of some [2:36:59] type of event [2:37:01] but as long as we're [2:37:03] asking for locations and being told what [2:37:07] we can and can't do it's it's difficult [2:37:09] but well [2:37:12] the reason I said [2:37:14] I've had a quick conversation with the [2:37:16] principal [2:37:18] who [2:37:20] told me it was beyond him but [2:37:22] I believe he came to you Hunter [2:37:24] regarding [2:37:27] sorry [2:37:29] he came to you about running a space for [2:37:32] the teachers before school started was [2:37:35] he [2:37:36] the principal [2:37:39] that would do okay [2:37:48] wow the ptso the ptso for Marvin High [2:37:52] School came to the village and wanted to [2:37:54] rip the park before school for a [2:37:56] breakfast right okay that's what that's [2:37:58] what you're asking yeah because he he [2:38:01] asked he reached out to me first because [2:38:02] he was looking for a venue [2:38:04] I said well call the park because I I [2:38:06] don't get involved in [2:38:08] fact you gotta see if it's even [2:38:09] available he had a specific day [2:38:12] I assume he did that then I found that [2:38:14] later that [2:38:16] what I was talking about why can't we [2:38:18] get [2:38:19] the high school in perpetuity to perform [2:38:22] I mean to have that as the event [2:38:26] just asking [2:38:27] I said well that's [2:38:29] Beyond him but they did work out [2:38:32] something where [2:38:34] they were going to provide parking [2:38:37] in exchange for what we is that what it [2:38:40] came out today [2:38:44] okay [2:38:47] I'm just saying that potentially opens [2:38:49] the door to [2:38:51] carrying a location even if it's well [2:38:54] before [2:38:57] events are being held there I think it [2:38:59] just it makes sense to explore that [2:39:01] because I think one of the biggest [2:39:03] things I'm sorry but it's just that that [2:39:06] having to park somewhere and be driven [2:39:09] over there was a real [2:39:12] factor in the attendance [2:39:14] well Joe I have to tell you that every [2:39:17] other municipality in this area does the [2:39:20] same thing [2:39:21] because parking is a problem for [2:39:24] everybody [2:39:26] well but we have an answer just because [2:39:28] they do the same thing doesn't mean we [2:39:30] have to fall soon [2:39:33] but we don't have an answer because the [2:39:35] high school won't let us use it that's [2:39:37] see you're you're just assuming that's [2:39:41] that is final discussion we've not have [2:39:44] you reached that to the [2:39:46] um the guy that's over all the [2:39:48] principles the superintendent has anyone [2:39:50] talked to [2:39:52] answer is no and he's the guy that [2:39:55] decides that that's all I'm saying is [2:39:58] have that conversation for the future [2:39:59] why not I mean all they can do is say no [2:40:04] that's all I'm saying [2:40:06] but I don't want it at the high school I [2:40:09] want it at the park because it's our [2:40:10] park we ought to be able to show off our [2:40:12] Park that's my that's my opinion [2:40:16] but I'm saying it's just [2:40:18] the attendance from the first year to [2:40:20] the second was way dropped off [2:40:23] what reasons [2:40:25] maybe it was multiple parking locations [2:40:27] Maybe [2:40:29] I'm [2:40:30] just stating a fact [2:40:32] and yes I assume it'll grow each time [2:40:35] and hopefully we get to that point where [2:40:38] the one parking location [2:40:41] multiple buses and it's not as big an [2:40:45] issue but [2:40:48] all right well this is not on the agenda [2:40:51] to discuss I know but it's Marvin day [2:40:53] sponsorship Drive sponsorship yeah but [2:40:56] not but but it leads into that because [2:40:59] here's why [2:41:01] if if you don't have people [2:41:04] oh wait [2:41:07] if you don't have people [2:41:10] showing up for the event the sponsor is [2:41:13] not going to step up because I've [2:41:15] already heard from [2:41:17] one that I have used that is like well [2:41:20] we didn't get any leads from that well [2:41:22] maybe we'll have a better situation I [2:41:24] haven't talked to him since [2:41:26] sorry they generated but I'd be curious [2:41:30] to see all the ones that I procured as [2:41:33] far as sponsors how well they did how [2:41:36] many leads I mean [2:41:40] I've talked to I've talked to two [2:41:42] out of the ones I got just to see you [2:41:44] know because we I mean we really haven't [2:41:46] uh [2:41:48] brought this up as far as sponsorship [2:41:49] but it's just a note if [2:41:52] are they going to put money towards just [2:41:54] like I would predict [2:41:57] um good luck adding uh the Lobster Truck [2:41:59] to show up oh we got them secured you do [2:42:02] yep don't you worry about it all right [2:42:05] I'll look forward to having them there [2:42:08] but [2:42:11] okay so I'm gonna assign you a job then [2:42:14] buddy to sign in perfect call the [2:42:16] superintendent okay [2:42:19] all I wanted permission for there you go [2:42:21] because I will make that phone call and [2:42:23] see if I can have that and if he's open [2:42:25] to it would you consider changing the [2:42:27] venue to have it all day there [2:42:30] no I'm just saying have the [2:42:33] concert there [2:42:38] I have everything else at the park at [2:42:39] the park so you still have two locations [2:42:41] you do and there's you know the only [2:42:44] thing you had multiple locations you had [2:42:47] a place where they ran in the morning [2:42:48] and then the first year and then the [2:42:51] place where they [2:42:52] um [2:42:53] did the car show which led into there [2:42:57] was raining [2:42:58] um I'll just mention real quick too the [2:43:00] fireworks if we're going to keep the [2:43:02] fireworks the place that let us do it [2:43:05] the year we were at the high school they [2:43:06] did call us last year we hadn't reached [2:43:09] out to them but they did call us and [2:43:10] said they weren't interested in doing it [2:43:12] last year so [2:43:14] I think that would probably be a problem [2:43:16] if we [2:43:20] yeah I don't know [2:43:22] so just putting that out there okay [2:43:25] Then I then I won't reach out because I [2:43:27] just thought the way that all was done [2:43:29] and fireworks went off after we I [2:43:31] thought we were in better graces with [2:43:33] them maybe not that's fine [2:43:35] you know I don't think it's anything we [2:43:36] did I just for some reason they just I I [2:43:38] think it had something to do with [2:43:40] scaring animals and [2:43:41] that kind of stuff it's always about the [2:43:43] animals their neighbors their neighbors [2:43:44] gave them a rational crap about it [2:43:46] guaranteed [2:43:48] but do you feel free to reach out to the [2:43:49] superintendent and just see what he says [2:43:52] okay [2:43:55] Mr Mayor if I'm going to commit to that [2:43:58] then I want to commit to this end you're [2:44:00] willing [2:44:01] why am I going after a conversation to [2:44:05] have him do something if the counselor [2:44:07] is not really in favor they want to keep [2:44:08] you want to keep I'm not opposed to that [2:44:10] do you want to keep it for Parks so be [2:44:12] it I'm just saying I look at the first [2:44:14] year in the second year and there was a [2:44:16] considerable falling off and some of the [2:44:18] people I talked to weren't even from [2:44:20] Marvin they just followed the band [2:44:21] that's why we got people there because [2:44:23] you know you know do you know what [2:44:25] brought the peoples what's that it was [2:44:27] the car show [2:44:28] possibly no it is okay and that's great [2:44:32] so it brought the peoples [2:44:34] but nobody's willing to do the car show [2:44:35] well it's it's a lot of work and I've [2:44:39] never done it before I've just helped oh [2:44:42] I'm just saying nobody's willing to do [2:44:43] it well I thought that was an annual [2:44:45] thing with the band yeah their last [2:44:47] annual thing was when when we they did [2:44:49] it with us no no it wasn't bad it's [2:44:51] actually the color guard which they just [2:44:54] supported and how fun that those guys [2:44:56] were a big into car and [2:44:59] I offered five volunteers and and he [2:45:03] chose not to call any of them and he did [2:45:05] it all himself and it was just too much [2:45:07] work for him so and I appreciate that [2:45:09] because I know how much work is involved [2:45:10] and I'm certainly I don't have the [2:45:13] contacts or the ability to Baby able to [2:45:16] manage that so that's why I stepped [2:45:19] aside and there's no one there to follow [2:45:21] up with the band as far as who's in cars [2:45:23] and who they're what kids are currently [2:45:25] still involved [2:45:28] it [2:45:29] quick question on that is there [2:45:33] as a circuit of [2:45:35] of car shows that we could coordinate [2:45:37] with that were going to do a car show [2:45:39] anyway that just so happened to do it on [2:45:41] Marvin Day weekend [2:45:45] because there's multiple car shows that [2:45:47] go on all around the [2:45:49] Charlotte area [2:45:51] on a monthly basis they're always there [2:45:53] and then there's some special ones that [2:45:55] they'll throw in the problem is people [2:45:58] and you're out there really [2:46:02] basically pitching hey come to our car [2:46:04] show but those car shows they want they [2:46:06] want judges they want you know as people [2:46:09] expect to have judges and that's where [2:46:11] it gets all like who's judging I can't [2:46:15] do you have the uh the amount of people [2:46:17] to judge because most of that's [2:46:18] volunteer stuff and finding those [2:46:21] individuals to do it and then tabulating [2:46:23] the results it's it's almost [2:46:26] um impossible but if you were able to [2:46:28] have a successful car show without [2:46:30] having Awards and raffle prizes and [2:46:33] stuff no I get all that but let's just [2:46:35] say [2:46:37] uh [2:46:39] Mopar is going to do a car show [2:46:43] and they're going to do it somewhere at [2:46:44] some time can we not reach out to Mopar [2:46:47] and go have it the wicked yeah that's [2:46:49] all I'm saying and [2:47:00] it's going to go [2:47:01] you got to have the attendance to get [2:47:05] people wanting to sponsor the problem [2:47:07] with doing doing the car show at the [2:47:09] park is is the space yeah [2:47:13] but that's why that first year was that [2:47:16] was that there was a law for a little [2:47:18] bit and then it moved on to that for [2:47:21] those that wanted to stay and you could [2:47:22] park your car and drive and leave [2:47:24] anytime you wanted which was nice but [2:47:26] everyone stayed for the fireworks but [2:47:28] now fireworks are off maybe it's a move [2:47:30] points I'm gonna move on [2:47:34] um [2:47:35] and we've all committed to getting [2:47:37] sponsors [2:47:39] next up we have discuss and consider [2:47:40] having Marvin Ethan park assist into [2:47:43] multiple multi-purpose fields and to [2:47:45] enter contract with [2:47:47] a five percent contingency and allow [2:47:50] manager to execute the contract [2:47:55] so attaching your agenda packets is the [2:47:58] multi-field assessment we said we would [2:48:00] get working on a couple meetings ago you [2:48:03] all had discussed the opportunity to [2:48:05] have soccer and potentially flag [2:48:07] football [2:48:08] we discussed the limitations that we [2:48:11] have at the school system Fields [2:48:14] currently so what we've done is reached [2:48:17] out to experts that know what they're [2:48:19] doing in the creation of fields ask them [2:48:23] to come in and give us a quote as to how [2:48:24] much they think it's going to cost for [2:48:25] us to really assess what would be needed [2:48:27] to start that process so that's here in [2:48:29] front of you it's approximately eighteen [2:48:31] thousand dollars [2:48:34] um [2:48:35] that that's pretty much it I mean Tyler [2:48:38] unfortunately doesn't have the expertise [2:48:39] engineering to really understand what's [2:48:42] needed to put in a field [2:48:44] um [2:48:45] so that's that's why we presented this [2:48:47] option to you all to consider so I've [2:48:49] had a couple of conversations with you [2:48:50] about this since we've had you've got [2:48:52] this information [2:48:54] this is being driven by residents right [2:48:58] that's the reason that we're looking at [2:48:59] this [2:49:00] so my suggestion is to form a committee [2:49:04] an exploratory committee that will [2:49:07] assess the options of multi-field [2:49:10] multi-purpose Fields try to find out [2:49:13] what the options are tap into the [2:49:16] resources that we have in Marvin and I [2:49:18] know there's a lot and I brought the wax [2:49:20] off Sports magazine because I guarantee [2:49:22] that you know there's a lot of people [2:49:25] that are want some sort of sports Fields [2:49:28] here in Marvin I know of Two Gentlemen [2:49:31] who are interested we had Diane from [2:49:33] belgrove who sent in a public comment [2:49:35] that we should have field so I think we [2:49:37] should reach out to her and see if she'd [2:49:38] like to be on it [2:49:40] um and then ask everybody if they have [2:49:42] other people that would like to be on it [2:49:44] I think we can do a five member [2:49:46] committee and let them go do some [2:49:48] research staff doesn't have the time [2:49:49] staff doesn't have the expertise [2:49:52] to do this so if our residents want [2:49:55] something like this which I think it's a [2:49:57] great idea [2:49:58] I would like their involvement so good [2:50:01] question do you need a separate [2:50:02] committee because that seems to fall [2:50:03] square in the prg boards [2:50:06] yeah no I want a separate committee for [2:50:09] this this is not I'm not putting that on [2:50:11] them I want people who want this before [2:50:13] you want to put any money towards it [2:50:15] before I put any money towards it I want [2:50:17] some sort of exploratory committee to go [2:50:19] out and do some research and you know [2:50:21] what they may be able to reach out to [2:50:23] somebody and get them to donate their [2:50:25] time to give us that expertise where [2:50:27] we're not paying for it so better you [2:50:30] think about the Elementary School Marvin [2:50:34] it's built by all sponsors [2:50:37] um before and then before Union County [2:50:40] took it over and a lot of the sponsors [2:50:42] are still on the fences okay so that's [2:50:46] right so it's it's it's the gentleman [2:50:48] Mike who came in [2:50:51] yeah cannot I never never say Israel [2:50:53] yeah never say his last name right Milan [2:50:55] from Marvin Creek they both live in [2:50:57] Marvin Creek they've talked to each [2:50:58] other about this somebody can reach out [2:51:00] to Diane see if she wants to be on it [2:51:02] and then ask those three people who else [2:51:04] they might want but I'd have a [2:51:05] five-person committee [2:51:07] we can form that and let them do that [2:51:09] publicize that to get that sure or put [2:51:12] that on our website says we are we need [2:51:15] a [2:51:16] um you want to do five or seven people [2:51:20] three does an ad hoc committee [2:51:23] we can do that I just we'll just need [2:51:25] information so that these people know [2:51:27] what they're signing up for [2:51:29] okay what kind of information do you [2:51:30] want [2:51:31] Tyler and I can come up with something [2:51:33] okay [2:51:35] all right everybody good with that [2:51:36] before we spend any money I I agree [2:51:38] let's let's again we're driving this [2:51:41] because residents have come in and asked [2:51:43] for this so let's ask the residents for [2:51:45] some help so and I'll just we'll we'll [2:51:47] do that and um we'll bring it back to [2:51:50] you all but what I would suggest to them [2:51:51] is to go through this proposal see what [2:51:53] some things that they can do on them [2:51:55] their own if there are certain [2:51:57] components of it they still think are [2:51:58] necessary that they don't have the skill [2:52:01] set and the expertise to do and they [2:52:02] can't find it [2:52:03] maybe they can come back and say hey [2:52:05] what about this component of the [2:52:07] proposal we all agree to at least do [2:52:09] this yes and and [2:52:11] reminder [2:52:12] Park was built that was always meant to [2:52:15] be a passive Park [2:52:16] whether they would have any deals on [2:52:18] there I don't even know if we have [2:52:19] enough room for that quite frankly to [2:52:21] put the fields that they're talking [2:52:22] about or how many well we don't know [2:52:25] that either so that's why we're going to [2:52:26] find out and we're gonna let them do [2:52:28] some legwork [2:52:30] Okay so [2:52:32] we good there you know you're marching [2:52:35] order there okay thanks [2:52:37] um [2:52:38] next up we have uh discuss and consider [2:52:44] postponing internet installation at [2:52:46] Marvin E for Parker [2:52:52] um we thought this was going to be an [2:52:53] easy fix unfortunately when we got the [2:52:55] quote back uh well we we got the quote [2:52:57] that we had [2:52:59] ask for the five thousand dollars for [2:53:00] but unfortunately the price it was given [2:53:02] was per month not annually [2:53:04] yes and it was like eight or nine [2:53:05] hundred dollars a month [2:53:07] um so basically it was going to be for [2:53:11] Internet service at the park what I mean [2:53:13] what kind of crap is that nobody pays [2:53:16] that who pays that what we did was we [2:53:19] went with our current vendor who's [2:53:21] Windstream to see what they would cost [2:53:23] well because there's no line they have [2:53:25] to run the line out there so they [2:53:26] basically were going to make us on [2:53:28] roughly a twenty thousand dollar [2:53:30] contract for five years [2:53:33] um [2:53:34] so and and also I wanted to say maybe it [2:53:37] was eleven thousand let's see I'm sorry [2:53:39] it was eleven thousand per year not 20. [2:53:41] same thing [2:53:44] um and that was only a hundred megabytes [2:53:46] per second [2:53:47] so just so you know what we use here [2:53:49] with the staff that we have we use 200 [2:53:52] per 200 millibytes per second so 100 is [2:53:55] is basically half of the usage year [2:53:58] um [2:54:00] additional megabytes per second were [2:54:01] another 600 per month so we did ask [2:54:04] Windstream how much they would charge us [2:54:07] and it was about five thousand dollars a [2:54:09] year [2:54:10] that that all right so [2:54:13] who's the internet provider that does [2:54:15] all of the neighborhoods surrounding the [2:54:16] park I was going to say Walter Pond has [2:54:18] to have internet how in the world are [2:54:21] they not connecting in there this is in [2:54:22] Marvin across from the across the street [2:54:24] yeah the the big huge neighborhood [2:54:26] that's across the street where do they [2:54:28] get their internet service from I have [2:54:30] no clue [2:54:32] there's got to be I mean there's service [2:54:34] up and down that road there's too many [2:54:36] high-end residences in that area that [2:54:38] there's not internet service along [2:54:40] Newtown Road that could access the park [2:54:43] I mean [2:54:45] this is craziness they want to run a [2:54:48] line [2:54:49] specifically I I if you go do we call [2:54:52] Spectrum [2:54:54] no we did not we did that's probably Who [2:54:56] services it because they service [2:54:57] everything else around here I tell you [2:54:59] if you call Spectrum and I'm just I'm [2:55:01] assuming okay I don't want to get too [2:55:02] far ahead of myself but if you call [2:55:04] Spectrum and said hey we need internet [2:55:06] service at even Park they probably go [2:55:08] okay we'll send the van out there Bam [2:55:10] Bam Bam and we got internet service 50 [2:55:12] bucks a month right yeah some I think [2:55:15] somebody's just again as we look at [2:55:18] government and we want to our government [2:55:20] sometimes is gets a bad rap for doing so [2:55:23] Christina call call out there don't sell [2:55:25] them who you are I mean tell them your [2:55:27] name give them the address [2:55:30] I'm gonna get I'll get my mic on it and [2:55:33] but don't say that you're with the [2:55:34] village of Marvin because maybe they are [2:55:36] trying to jack it up like price wise get [2:55:38] it is like you're a person that you've [2:55:40] got a building out there a house okay [2:55:43] that you want internet at or at T or [2:55:46] Verizon yeah I was about to say they [2:55:48] have or T-Mobile they have the wireless [2:55:50] internet that runs off cell service now [2:55:53] um well that's that's the other option [2:55:54] if if we wanted to go that route and [2:55:56] it's still most of those providers still [2:56:00] provide anywhere from 100 to 200 Megs [2:56:02] per second okay we'll we'll get some [2:56:04] more options some of that stuff is but I [2:56:05] mean if you don't have real good cell [2:56:07] service in an area then you don't get [2:56:08] the the good correct speed you have to [2:56:11] look at what's the best sell provider [2:56:12] but I guarantee you to Jamie's Point [2:56:14] spectrum is out there they serve it this [2:56:16] entire area before anybody else came in [2:56:18] and I get 200 Megs on mine and I think [2:56:22] it's 50 or 60 bucks a month for just the [2:56:24] internet portion of my bill [2:56:26] it's not that crazy expensive well and I [2:56:29] don't know you know they have there's [2:56:31] nothing out there so they literally have [2:56:32] to run the line from the road all the [2:56:34] way down to the barn they charge an [2:56:36] install fee for for spectrum but and I [2:56:39] think that's where the bulk of the [2:56:40] charge is coming from is running that [2:56:42] line down there yeah I mean because [2:56:44] spectrum is run on coax that stuff is [2:56:47] cheap and easy to lay people get run way [2:56:50] off the road to their homes too I don't [2:56:53] they typically don't charge crazy [2:56:55] amounts of money [2:56:57] it doesn't have the linear feet but I [2:56:59] assure that's probably what the the high [2:57:02] cost is [2:57:04] so this is going to be a back burner [2:57:06] item for for us just so y'all know we'll [2:57:08] we'll get to Spectrum and start working [2:57:09] on it but [2:57:16] that's all that happens [2:57:26] we're gonna we're gonna table the [2:57:27] internet until further research is done [2:57:30] by staff [2:57:37] all right do we have to motion no [2:57:40] okay discussing next up is discuss and [2:57:42] consider entering contract with bars [2:57:45] Recreation for construction of the new [2:57:47] playground and all [2:57:51] allow manager to execute the contract [2:57:55] should I allow you to [2:57:57] to do this this is this is massively [2:58:00] confusing we tried to put this into a [2:58:03] nice chart which is this that you see [2:58:06] here not really sure what it's called in [2:58:07] the agenda packet [2:58:10] huh it's all in one well this is look at [2:58:13] this document right here [2:58:17] you want to do it you want me to do it [2:58:20] I'll do it [2:58:21] Okay so [2:58:28] all right go ahead Tyler all right [2:58:31] so this just shows the savings and like [2:58:35] kind of the differences in the three [2:58:37] options that we presented the three [2:58:39] quotes we have option A is the [2:58:41] playground with no top lot option b is [2:58:44] no poor surface so it's a mulch bottom [2:58:47] and then option C is the original one [2:58:50] that we've had for a while [2:58:53] um if you go down the list you can see [2:58:55] this is on that chart that's what we can [2:58:58] save ourselves by doing you know the [2:59:00] removal the demo [2:59:02] um when you take out the concrete when [2:59:05] you take off the performance bond [2:59:07] the highlighted in yellow is basically [2:59:10] the savings and then highlighted blue is [2:59:14] the cost for each quote [2:59:17] um when you take into consideration all [2:59:18] the things we've [2:59:20] can do ourselves [2:59:22] and at the very bottom you'll see that's [2:59:24] our quote that we got from an outside [2:59:26] source for concrete [2:59:28] and that's included [2:59:30] one thing that I'll note the things we [2:59:33] can do ourselves are not necessarily [2:59:34] things that we can do ourselves they're [2:59:36] things that mayor Plano had asked to to [2:59:38] put in that he would potentially be [2:59:40] interested in removing [2:59:42] so I don't feel comfortable [2:59:45] I don't feel comfortable with us at a [2:59:46] staff level doing these things ourselves [2:59:48] so my recommendation is we leave the [2:59:51] demo and the removal in but if you guys [2:59:54] decide that that's something you all [2:59:55] want to do [2:59:57] we can go that route [2:59:59] I just know that [3:00:01] um [3:00:01] there are some additions that may end up [3:00:05] happening if they're not removed [3:00:07] correctly and the the ground is not [3:00:09] regraded correctly there's very specific [3:00:11] language [3:00:13] who told you that it's in the contract [3:00:16] it's in there [3:00:17] in their proposals yes they won they [3:00:19] want a piece of that action I guarantee [3:00:21] you what are you going to screw up when [3:00:23] you when you remove something you're [3:00:26] going to really screw up the land not [3:00:28] necessarily removal but the regrading of [3:00:30] bringing the grade to the development [3:00:32] from you but from that company telling [3:00:35] us that every single option every single [3:00:39] option has a cost to it because and [3:00:42] they're going to create some oh you did [3:00:44] this when you removed it how we can't do [3:00:47] this so now it's going to cost you extra [3:00:49] a highlight of that part of the quote [3:00:52] just so y'all can see it for yourself [3:00:55] and I threw in tell them what's up on [3:00:58] top of that estimate I did throw in a [3:01:00] ten thousand dollar just buffer penalty [3:01:01] just in case I don't know how much it's [3:01:04] going to be [3:01:05] um and she doesn't even know how much [3:01:07] it's going to be so I just threw that in [3:01:08] as a buffer [3:01:12] there's not a specific [3:01:19] playground equipment having a hiring a [3:01:23] company to come in there you could [3:01:25] always go back to the company and say [3:01:26] you damn [3:01:28] it says installation of your commercial [3:01:29] equipment completed on the prepared site [3:01:31] with a level of within two percent grade [3:01:34] that has a surface of compacted soil [3:01:36] only the owner representative must be on [3:01:39] site when it happens if the site is not [3:01:41] prepared correctly when the install crew [3:01:44] arrives a fee will be discussed for our [3:01:47] crew to complete if the crew is sent [3:01:49] away for the owner to handle the site [3:01:50] prep a lost time and remobilization fee [3:01:53] will occur [3:01:54] if this Clause this Clause will be [3:01:57] removed if demo and Grading itemized and [3:01:59] quote it remains atypical soil [3:02:02] situations where excessive Bedrock floor [3:02:04] concrete Footers are encountered [3:02:07] such that a rock hammer and heavy [3:02:09] equipment is needed additional fee will [3:02:11] be assessed this quote does not include [3:02:13] permits permits or responsibility of the [3:02:15] project and owner project owner [3:02:20] ewf where do you see that [3:02:25] where's that at removal and disposal of [3:02:27] existing ewf and slight grading of main [3:02:30] playground areas under service [3:02:33] it's cost 18 250 dollars [3:02:39] that's why I'm asking what is ewf [3:02:44] the slide existing wood [3:02:48] whatever the material frame [3:02:51] what is it whatever the what nation [3:02:53] Maybe [3:02:54] they call those certain they call them [3:02:56] playground materials stuff like weird [3:02:59] names but it but it says removal and [3:03:00] disposal of existing structure is 7 500 [3:03:03] then right below that it says removal [3:03:05] and disposal of existing ewf and slight [3:03:08] grading of main playground area includes [3:03:11] removing all exist oh existing wood [3:03:13] surfacing and borders to get to get the [3:03:16] site to original Earth [3:03:18] and grading the site slightly to assure [3:03:21] proper grade and to help with drainage [3:03:23] issues [3:03:30] trying to follow all of this even as I [3:03:32] was reading [3:03:34] at home [3:03:35] option b and option C the structures are [3:03:39] identical correct nothing's changed the [3:03:42] same thing you got the little talk yep [3:03:44] structure Etc and the swings yes so all [3:03:48] we're talking about is just the ground [3:03:49] yes [3:03:52] see because obviously both pictures look [3:03:54] identical but all options are the same [3:03:56] except for a also includes an additional [3:04:00] piece for Tots on a different area [3:04:03] so if it does not included no that's not [3:04:06] included oh I'm sorry I'm sorry yeah no [3:04:08] I'm just saying B and C are other state [3:04:10] structures we're just talking about the [3:04:13] term which I'll be honest with you like [3:04:15] I would much rather have their [3:04:19] sturdier hardier longer lasting surface [3:04:22] I agree I don't want mulch yeah I don't [3:04:24] because we're going to have to replace [3:04:26] it all of the time it's going to be a [3:04:28] thing and they can guarantee I assume [3:04:30] what's what's the guarantee on this [3:04:32] thing [3:04:34] is there a guarantee the warranty [3:04:36] warranty on it [3:04:38] we asked him that before I can't [3:04:40] remember what they said if we're going [3:04:41] to go the extra mile [3:04:44] um with with the turf I kind of want to [3:04:47] see if you know two years from now being [3:04:48] broken up with [3:04:50] whatever rain or whatever is going to be [3:04:52] happening [3:04:54] um so basically so keep going sorry [3:04:57] keep going I interrupted that was right [3:05:05] but I think it's going to be fabulous [3:05:07] looking [3:05:08] I mean it's if we're going this much [3:05:13] you know with what's going to be a [3:05:15] spectacular centerpiece [3:05:19] quite honestly and I totally agree with [3:05:21] you Kim [3:05:23] um before I left [3:05:25] I'd want to make sure that the public [3:05:27] would want whatever we're doing whatever [3:05:30] they're thinking they want out at the [3:05:32] park and spend nineteen thousand dollars [3:05:33] for that I'd rather invest it in this [3:05:36] mm-hmm [3:05:39] um so as far as the the grading [3:05:44] you know if you remove the the swing I [3:05:47] still don't think the grade is going to [3:05:48] be what they're looking for just just [3:05:51] for a reference a two percent grade is [3:05:54] what I build patios on it's almost flat [3:05:57] it's just barely enough to shed the [3:06:00] water so it's there's going to be [3:06:03] grading done on this site no matter who [3:06:06] takes the thing down yes for the [3:06:09] installation [3:06:10] so [3:06:12] you don't feel like saying they're going [3:06:13] to grade [3:06:15] they're going to have to grade it no [3:06:16] matter what yeah but but if we take [3:06:18] right but if we take that out [3:06:21] it's 18 they're basically saying they're [3:06:23] going to remove all the mulch and then [3:06:24] grade it for eighteen thousand dollars [3:06:26] yeah [3:06:29] so I think that I mean we can leave that [3:06:32] in there [3:06:33] and they're going to grade so you [3:06:35] removing the structure I don't think is [3:06:37] a big deal one year warranty limited [3:06:40] warranty 10-year limited warranty five [3:06:42] year limited worry warranty warranties [3:06:45] are all different like based on what the [3:06:46] problem is yeah there's different [3:06:48] warranties [3:06:49] if you want the place that Joe then it's [3:06:52] not that big of us it's 7 500 7 500 [3:06:56] bucks here's the thing sounds to me like [3:06:59] they're going to find something wrong if [3:07:00] we did it yeah they're going to find [3:07:02] something wrong with whatever we do [3:07:04] right that's one thing the other point [3:07:07] is I don't know where y'all stand on the [3:07:09] on the top thing [3:07:12] when we're spending this kind of money [3:07:17] people have all ages of kids when they [3:07:19] go out there I I don't know about y'all [3:07:21] but I want to talk I do too I understand [3:07:23] yeah but there are people that go out [3:07:27] there to have the little ones that just [3:07:28] want to crawl around so God you know [3:07:31] there's sometimes we pinch pennies and [3:07:33] we and we should absolutely Pinch A [3:07:35] Penny yeah [3:07:37] but there but there are times where [3:07:40] this is a long-term investment yeah [3:07:42] absolutely for the centerpiece this is [3:07:46] for everyone in in Marvin this this says [3:07:50] Marvin so [3:07:52] let's spin the the let's I'm all for it [3:07:57] let's grade let's if they want to grade [3:08:00] it let them grade it let them do it we [3:08:02] can go back to them and say you didn't [3:08:03] do it right yeah but if we do it well [3:08:05] we're just I just I just think we're [3:08:07] opening ourselves up to too many issues [3:08:10] I've heard critics I think we could do [3:08:12] it better than them but I'm just saying [3:08:13] they're going to find something wrong [3:08:15] with it I I as far as the top thing I've [3:08:18] I've heard criticism from people that we [3:08:21] don't have that available so I'm all 100 [3:08:24] in on yeah I don't think anybody I think [3:08:27] we're all in agreement that's hot lot [3:08:28] yeah for sure I think we're all in [3:08:30] agreement as option C it's going to be a [3:08:32] matter of one we gotta find the money [3:08:34] and two do we want to let somebody else [3:08:38] remove and dispose of the existing [3:08:41] structure and then let them do [3:08:44] the [3:08:45] ewf flight grading [3:08:48] I I think if you want to put it up for [3:08:52] auction put it up for [3:08:55] bid or put for someone that that wants [3:08:58] to do it come in because there may be in [3:09:01] a minute municipality or someone around [3:09:03] that says I'd like to do I'd like to [3:09:06] take it away let's let them do that and [3:09:09] let but let them do it and maybe we make [3:09:12] a thousand bucks off of it or 500 bucks [3:09:15] off of it but let them come in after [3:09:17] that's done and do the grading part yeah [3:09:19] exactly totally agree yeah [3:09:27] we're not in the business of of selling [3:09:32] playground I agree I just think it's a [3:09:36] I I agree but I mean there are times we [3:09:39] get in with contractors and they come [3:09:40] out and they do stuff and I'm like but [3:09:42] you know what I can fight it for 10 [3:09:44] bucks I'm trying I'm gonna cost myself a [3:09:47] hundred dollars worth of Sanity to save [3:09:49] ten dollars go ahead and pay the ten [3:09:52] dollars yeah one of the other variables [3:09:54] I'll mention to you too is timelines if [3:09:57] we're gonna allow someone else to do it [3:09:59] a third party to do it [3:10:01] um you know and they come in and say [3:10:03] we're gonna have to give them some [3:10:04] timelines I don't know how it's going to [3:10:05] impact the timeline on [3:10:08] the vendor of not the you know not being [3:10:10] up by the certain time we just don't [3:10:12] have to play with those timelines really [3:10:14] really close in order to only have the [3:10:17] Park closed and inoperable for a certain [3:10:18] number of days [3:10:21] I'm just throwing that out there but [3:10:23] didn't we'll have to have a little bit [3:10:24] of buffer in between which is basically [3:10:25] going to take more time didn't we also [3:10:29] consider or discuss that this would be [3:10:32] done somewhere in the winter months [3:10:33] where there's not enough there's not a [3:10:35] lot of activity going on yeah okay yeah [3:10:38] but what I'm saying is we're going to [3:10:39] have to probably correction okay [3:10:41] coordinate that yeah happening I [3:10:43] understand okay [3:10:46] the concrete I don't know that I want [3:10:48] concrete curbing around the playground [3:10:54] I mean isn't there a way to keep the sir [3:10:57] I mean is does this mean it's going all [3:10:59] the way around the surface [3:11:01] yeah that's real yeah but don't they [3:11:05] have that don't don't they have that [3:11:06] hard rubber hard uh plastic I don't know [3:11:10] what it's called [3:11:11] foreign place [3:11:13] it's a Concrete curving for both Maine [3:11:17] and taut playground areas [3:11:19] six inch wide by eight inch deep [3:11:22] I don't know what that is I don't want a [3:11:24] concrete Pathway to the new playground [3:11:26] nor do I want a concrete Pathway to the [3:11:28] top playground I think Ada purposes I [3:11:32] think you have to [3:11:34] um [3:11:35] why can't I why can't it can be our [3:11:37] Trail [3:11:39] surface which is Ada approved [3:11:42] I'm sorry I was listening to both of [3:11:44] y'all we're saying the same thing what [3:11:46] was the question yeah our our Trail [3:11:49] surface our natural Trail surface not [3:11:51] not whatever's out here I don't know [3:11:52] what that is but not whatever's out here [3:11:54] but what's on like our natural Trails [3:11:56] like out at Tullamore and stuff that's [3:11:58] Ada approved the crushed concrete yes [3:12:00] it's a 88 that's Ada approved and that's [3:12:03] consistent [3:12:05] concrete sidewalk more concrete yeah [3:12:08] that's consistent with what we have [3:12:11] you know our Parks development [3:12:13] code if you will what we do so I'm with [3:12:17] Kim I'd much rather have our natural [3:12:19] trail system it's permeable it's more [3:12:21] natural it's consistent with what we do [3:12:25] um here is not our crushed concrete so I [3:12:28] don't know why this Trail hasn't been [3:12:30] done in our natural [3:12:31] crushed concrete surface stuff that's [3:12:34] like [3:12:35] gravel [3:12:37] [Music] [3:12:39] well I think I think part of what's [3:12:42] going on right there is is that they [3:12:44] were to grind and mix that stuff that [3:12:47] would be killing trees that are too [3:12:49] close and high up in that area so I [3:12:52] think they probably did a little bit of [3:12:54] fudging there just because of that once [3:12:56] this of course that's going to go away [3:12:58] anyway that's going to be redone so I'm [3:13:01] not too worried about that but for our [3:13:02] normal system [3:13:04] yeah I agree [3:13:07] okay well I I would like to know what [3:13:10] the concrete curbing is well it's in the [3:13:12] picture [3:13:13] it holds it all together if you look at [3:13:16] the playground you see that at that [3:13:17] outside edge is that concrete curbing [3:13:19] yeah what what do we have here but like [3:13:21] why are you having concrete curb around [3:13:22] like a place where kids are running [3:13:25] um I think it's structural [3:13:28] it holds their their surface [3:13:31] it holds their surface [3:13:38] drain it right there's no holes in the [3:13:42] concrete or drains in there then that's [3:13:44] just going to fill up with water is it [3:13:45] not if you did I mean at some point you [3:13:49] have to you have to trust the the [3:13:51] process I mean this is what these guys [3:13:53] do for a living everywhere if they had [3:13:55] problems with it being a pool then they [3:13:58] wouldn't stay in business long so [3:14:00] sometimes have to trust the experts she [3:14:03] can talk how it's constructed do you [3:14:05] want to hear from the vendor no I mean [3:14:08] if no just take care of that [3:14:10] okay I mean we're going to pick option C [3:14:12] it's a matter of [3:14:15] what are we gonna leave in what are we [3:14:17] going to take out [3:14:30] oh is he talking about us is he talking [3:14:32] yeah [3:14:36] [Laughter] [3:14:40] I'm working on it it's a trailer frame [3:14:42] okay [3:14:44] I mean I don't love this price I'm not [3:14:47] going to lie but I got a perfect place [3:14:50] for the uh but it is [3:14:54] you just have to play You're gonna have [3:14:56] to fight Joe for it [3:14:58] I'm saying I'll pull a trailer up there [3:15:01] and as they dispose it they can take it [3:15:03] out and they can just load it right up [3:15:05] on the trailer and then we can auction [3:15:06] it and if it auctions great if not I'll [3:15:09] pay you guys 100 right now and take it [3:15:12] out [3:15:13] I mean it's better than yeah then they [3:15:17] can't say we had nothing to do with it [3:15:19] just pull a tractor trailer up there and [3:15:22] say okay I'm gonna sit there here just [3:15:24] load it if you're gonna get rid of it [3:15:26] are you really getting rid of it because [3:15:28] if they're really demoing it they're [3:15:30] just taking a a tractor and they're [3:15:32] knocking everything down it goes to the [3:15:34] waste [3:15:35] but we'll have to see how they do it all [3:15:37] right well I'm going to make a motion to [3:15:39] approve option C as presented [3:15:44] oh minus the minus the concrete paths [3:15:48] and I want those to be our natural why [3:15:50] do we learn natural Trails I would have [3:15:52] them remove that [3:15:56] yep before we go further on this the [3:16:00] price tag is another hundred and thirty [3:16:03] some thousand what we've got [3:16:04] appropriated [3:16:06] how are we getting the rest of the money [3:16:08] Christina's gonna figure it out [3:16:10] she's she's going to work on I'm asking [3:16:12] Christina how we're going to get the [3:16:13] rest is going to work she's going to [3:16:14] work on our 10-year budget deficit [3:16:17] figure out and we'll have to do a fun [3:16:19] balance preparation or either pull from [3:16:20] one of your capital projects that you've [3:16:22] got PFA pull from in reserve or you can [3:16:24] go ahead and start pooling from that [3:16:26] five hundred thousand dollars well four [3:16:28] hundred thousand dollars now projects [3:16:30] for parks that we got from the [3:16:32] legislator that we've kind of [3:16:33] tentatively got earmarked over here you [3:16:35] have a finite time to spend that correct [3:16:38] we do but they did actually extend it [3:16:42] um but I mean it's there and it does [3:16:44] have an expiry date so I mean [3:16:48] it could take this over here years and [3:16:50] years so we may want to go ahead and [3:16:52] just start spinning that down so we [3:16:53] could pull it from there I I have to [3:16:55] agree with that I think that's a good [3:16:57] good idea motions on the table well I [3:17:01] further discussion I would just say I [3:17:04] would be hesitant to vote on this [3:17:07] without learning more about the [3:17:09] concrete and what would be the [3:17:11] replacement I did text her while you [3:17:14] guys are talking and she said they put [3:17:15] the concrete around just for a better [3:17:19] finished look so she's going to look at [3:17:21] different options [3:17:23] and send them to me that they do have to [3:17:25] have some type of border to hold the [3:17:26] stuff in but there are other options she [3:17:28] said she could use [3:17:30] okay but we definitely want the natural [3:17:32] Trail it's sort of like you buy a [3:17:34] McLaren and they say it comes with curb [3:17:36] feelers and you're not sure whether you [3:17:38] want the curb feelers or not we're [3:17:39] talking about the McLaren [3:17:41] the neighbor has one so that curbing was [3:17:45] about 12 000 okay so our biker just a [3:17:49] question our gang member so if we're not [3:17:53] if we're going to use our natural trail [3:17:54] system for the pathways instead of [3:17:56] concrete do we just omit that and have [3:17:58] our Trail Builder build those yes [3:18:01] okay [3:18:04] yes that way we have consistency so why [3:18:08] don't I need for why don't you all [3:18:10] approve that the total amount that's [3:18:12] listed here okay and then I can [3:18:14] negotiate a different border within that [3:18:16] same dollar amount or less and then [3:18:19] negotiate the trail with our current [3:18:21] Trail Builder or our [3:18:24] um [3:18:26] asphalt grading guy the guy that does [3:18:28] the all-inclusive stuff [3:18:30] but still keep the dollar amount the [3:18:32] same that way it gives me a level of [3:18:33] threshold to work with [3:18:36] concrete I want our crushed Trail yeah I [3:18:39] mean I'll I'll tell them we have specs [3:18:40] on that so I'll tell them either one of [3:18:42] them all right so I'm gonna redo my [3:18:45] motion sorry Austin [3:18:47] I'm going to amend my motion to we're [3:18:50] going to approve option C not to exceed [3:18:54] 438 250 dollars [3:18:59] 438 250. [3:19:03] and allow Christina to negotiate the [3:19:07] concrete [3:19:09] curb and paths [3:19:12] for alternates [3:19:15] yeah [3:19:17] further discussion [3:19:19] all in favor [3:19:21] aye [3:19:23] all right next up we have consider [3:19:25] approval a change order from first try [3:19:27] on for geo 13. I went [3:19:31] discussion Geo [3:19:35] this was just going to be a few minutes [3:19:37] ago like three hours ago in a few [3:19:40] minutes yeah I don't know what happened [3:19:43] um so I've added this to the your agenda [3:19:45] packets we just got this the other day [3:19:48] um this is the rough schedule that we've [3:19:50] developed with a grant Sky our vendor [3:19:53] who we're going to be working on for the [3:19:55] education campaign at your next meeting [3:19:58] you'll be seeing you'll be seeing the [3:20:01] draft brand the draft logo for the [3:20:03] campaign it's [3:20:05] on purpose it's going to look different [3:20:07] than our recently adopted brand to [3:20:09] disassociate it a little bit with the [3:20:12] village because it's more than just [3:20:16] part of the government here [3:20:18] um so you're gonna be seeing those logos [3:20:19] at the next meeting and giving feedback [3:20:21] those are going to be finalized the week [3:20:22] after we're going to start developing [3:20:25] Flyers frequently asked questions [3:20:28] to go on our website [3:20:33] and it starts ramping up as we get [3:20:35] closer to the end of the year one change [3:20:37] from this schedule is they have our mini [3:20:40] site going live on December 18th we've [3:20:43] requested that to be pushed up to [3:20:45] December 1st to give residents more time [3:20:48] to test additional time to educate [3:20:51] residents through our website since that [3:20:53] seems to be one of our best mediums to [3:20:55] contact people so that site should be [3:20:58] going Live December 1st instead of the [3:20:59] 18th [3:21:00] and really after that it's [3:21:04] it's laid out there [3:21:06] we'll be really ramping it up as we go [3:21:09] into the new year in advance of the [3:21:10] referendum [3:21:15] one of the things that I had mentioned [3:21:17] to Austin to make sure we're all on the [3:21:19] same page is there's going to have [3:21:21] there's really going to be very limited [3:21:23] opportunity for you all to review every [3:21:25] single little correspondence that goes [3:21:26] out a lot of the same [3:21:29] uh you basically we're going to see a [3:21:31] lot of the same stuff just done in [3:21:32] different templates and different [3:21:33] formats councilman line is looking [3:21:36] through a couple of different revisions [3:21:37] that they've done in the past this this [3:21:40] company so you can kind of see some of [3:21:41] the graphics of how they lay things out [3:21:43] like Austin mentioned they're going to [3:21:45] have like a logo for back lack of better [3:21:47] words that is specifically for this [3:21:50] concept did you need any feedback from [3:21:53] them on what they what elements they [3:21:54] wanted to see in that are we going to do [3:21:56] that later we're going to bring that low [3:21:58] they'll see the draft logo at their next [3:21:59] meeting they'll get one pass at it then [3:22:01] we have to finalize it so we can get [3:22:02] production rolling okay [3:22:04] um [3:22:06] there will be male components yes can we [3:22:10] in some of this education materials can [3:22:14] we talk about [3:22:15] like [3:22:25] I don't know if I want to go down that [3:22:27] road [3:22:28] I was going to say can we talk about how [3:22:30] like it would help [3:22:31] some of these neighborhoods it would be [3:22:33] a great idea to Annex in because you [3:22:35] would we would be able to do more stuff [3:22:37] for your neighborhoods [3:22:39] if you and then send them to some of [3:22:41] these neighborhoods we'd like to see [3:22:43] annexed in I don't know if that makes [3:22:45] sense or not I don't think that's within [3:22:47] the current scope of the project budget [3:22:49] wise because [3:22:52] I think the mail the mailing budget is [3:22:54] based on residents Target voters and [3:22:56] residents okay so that boy if we did [3:22:58] something like that that might be a [3:23:00] change order or that might be something [3:23:01] separate we do later okay are they [3:23:04] coming to the next meeting [3:23:06] saying is yes they should be at the next [3:23:07] meeting so that's a question we can ask [3:23:09] them if they can guess does that make [3:23:10] sense like I get what you're saying but [3:23:13] should we even think about that because [3:23:14] I also don't want to necessarily be like [3:23:16] oh well hey we're going to do some stuff [3:23:18] for some non-residents I mean we're [3:23:19] going to have to in order to do some for [3:23:21] the residents but you you guys choosing [3:23:24] to offer the [3:23:27] the assessment for private roads that's [3:23:29] going to be an incentive to get a couple [3:23:31] neighborhoods one of the negatives yeah [3:23:33] but those are in Marvin that's not if [3:23:35] someone annexes they become in Marvin [3:23:36] yeah but I don't know how many [3:23:37] neighborhoods we have that one of the [3:23:40] negative components that could be [3:23:41] perceived as negative um would be that [3:23:43] they would have to pay that additional [3:23:45] tax and therefore right they probably [3:23:47] wouldn't be willing to Annex if they [3:23:49] knew [3:23:50] the additional tax would be coming okay [3:23:52] that's just okay [3:23:55] so but I just wanted to make sure that [3:23:57] y'all understood like there's going to [3:23:58] be a very limited opportunity for us to [3:23:59] provide input into very specific things [3:24:02] and once things goes out like they're we [3:24:04] can't we can't redact them like they [3:24:07] are they coming to our regular meeting [3:24:08] unring the Bell oh yeah yeah I need to [3:24:12] confirm with them but that was the [3:24:13] original plan for them to be at the next [3:24:14] meeting [3:24:16] what regular meeting [3:24:19] we have to stay on schedule [3:24:22] uh [3:24:23] so as you see some of the stuff that's [3:24:25] being passed around that's kind of the [3:24:26] same thing that you would see in this [3:24:28] context [3:24:30] um us and if you could ask them if they [3:24:32] could actually bring examples when they [3:24:34] do come [3:24:35] and even if there's a way they can kind [3:24:36] of tie them into some of our stuff and [3:24:39] that way that you guys have the [3:24:40] opportunity to at least see what we're [3:24:42] looking at and what's going to be fed to [3:24:44] the public so if y'all want to start [3:24:46] making some changes or if there's some [3:24:48] something specific you want to see then [3:24:49] we can make those [3:24:51] those things at that point in time [3:24:52] because we're not going to once we start [3:24:53] we're just not going to have a whole lot [3:24:55] of time to review things as we have done [3:24:58] in the past with other things [3:25:07] yeah all right next up consider approval [3:25:09] change order from first try to for geo [3:25:11] Bond advertisement [3:25:15] at a cost not to exceed thirteen [3:25:18] thousand dollars on Direct staff to [3:25:19] prepare budget men so moved [3:25:25] no I mean it's just we we're using them [3:25:27] a lot more throughout the process than [3:25:29] we in participate we can wrap that into [3:25:31] the bond price and yeah we can drop it [3:25:34] to bond price if it approved if it if [3:25:36] it's approved if it's not we just we [3:25:37] have to absorb it internally so we will [3:25:40] likely do a budget amendment from [3:25:42] contingency if contingencies available [3:25:45] or it'll have to be a fund balance [3:25:48] all right stop okay oh we got a there's [3:25:50] a motion on the floor there is yes she [3:25:53] said so moved sorry [3:26:00] I see the looks that Austin is giving [3:26:02] you right now it is amazing I'm very [3:26:04] expressive today [3:26:07] all right open topics I have one all [3:26:10] right so before me is [3:26:16] um House Bill 488 session law [3:26:19] 2023-108 Jeff Perry Monroe uh read some [3:26:23] some of the excerpts from this bill at [3:26:26] the loom meeting and had some concerns [3:26:28] with some of the changes that were done [3:26:30] in this I would encourage [3:26:32] that [3:26:34] Council read this [3:26:36] bill [3:26:38] through and be familiar with some of the [3:26:40] changes [3:26:43] and this is already passed yes this has [3:26:47] been passed it was passed just recently [3:26:49] a couple weeks ago so there's there are [3:26:52] some changes one of the one of the [3:26:55] changes of note that I'm looking at here [3:26:57] is to amend the residential code to [3:27:00] include three and four family dwellings [3:27:02] and basically this is kind of a [3:27:07] safety issue [3:27:11] they're not requiring greater than a two [3:27:14] hour fire resistance and or or automatic [3:27:17] sprinkler systems which is previously [3:27:19] been required for three and four [3:27:21] dwelling or three three and four [3:27:25] uh [3:27:26] family dwellings for safety reasons so [3:27:30] I'm assuming this was something that was [3:27:32] pushed through by the uh [3:27:34] the Builders Association to save cost [3:27:37] um there are a couple of things that [3:27:39] refer to driveway paving and different [3:27:42] things like that [3:27:43] changing of the uh [3:27:46] minimums for [3:27:48] um having to get a permit for [3:27:51] upgrading properties and such so [3:27:54] um [3:27:55] can you repeat that house [3:27:57] it's the house bill 488 [3:28:00] session law [3:28:02] 2023-108 yeah [3:28:04] say that again session law 2023-108 [3:28:09] about what 32 Pages or something like [3:28:11] that something like that [3:28:13] um [3:28:16] yeah I mean I just don't know how he [3:28:18] didn't hear about this I mean this is [3:28:20] bad it [3:28:23] I mean it's stuff that just kind of [3:28:25] gets sent through and [3:28:27] this is I mean it was kind of a [3:28:29] knee-jerk reaction because we weren't [3:28:31] aware of it and then [3:28:33] um [3:28:34] Jeff found out about it and brought it [3:28:37] up at Uma there are some some concerns [3:28:39] in there regarding [3:28:41] um [3:28:44] update so [3:28:47] yes and [3:28:49] and This concerns me as well with being [3:28:52] a republican super majority whatever the [3:28:55] Republican party wants basically goes [3:28:57] through [3:28:59] um at this point because they override [3:29:01] The veto the governor so [3:29:05] um it is a little concerning that [3:29:07] they're just changing some things like [3:29:09] this [3:29:10] we may just want to pass this along to [3:29:12] chaplain and see what his interpretation [3:29:13] is for the implications yeah [3:29:16] okay I mean I think we should do that [3:29:18] obviously we need to reach out to our [3:29:19] reps and find out like what's going on [3:29:21] yeah I would just say some of this stuff [3:29:23] so I mean there are a couple things that [3:29:25] do make sense but like that that thing [3:29:27] to me from [3:29:30] and this was also raised at the Wilma [3:29:32] meeting is the safety issue when you [3:29:34] have multiple family [3:29:37] buildings and you start rescinding some [3:29:40] of these safety requirements that's [3:29:42] that's a red flag to me I don't think [3:29:45] that that we should be getting less safe [3:29:47] I think we should be more safe if [3:29:50] anything so [3:29:55] multiple multiple family dwelling [3:29:58] multiple family dwellings right yes so [3:30:01] these are these are triplexes and quad [3:30:03] plexes they don't necessarily apply to [3:30:06] Marvin at this stage because we don't [3:30:08] have these but it's the premise I mean [3:30:11] it's like it's they're relaxing some [3:30:13] safety standards in the in the building [3:30:15] codes which [3:30:17] is troublesome that's just one example [3:30:19] there are several different things that [3:30:21] they change there's 32 pages of changes [3:30:22] so developer friendly [3:30:26] it seems to be [3:30:27] um [3:30:28] there are some removing some standards [3:30:31] on [3:30:32] private roads and stuff like that too so [3:30:34] these are things that we need to [3:30:36] consider [3:30:37] if we're adopting [3:30:40] you know taking on any any privately [3:30:42] constructed driveways and such [3:30:49] of it [3:30:55] okay anything else [3:30:59] [Music] [3:31:01] I think so [3:31:11] clean up some emails while we're away [3:31:16] you had another one yesterday [3:31:20] did I have another one [3:31:21] who's that I remember [3:31:25] uh [3:31:28] radar size [3:31:30] hmm [3:31:32] radar signs radar oh yes [3:31:36] um while you guys are figuring that out [3:31:38] I have one more [3:31:39] topic to uh to bring up [3:31:47] okay so I have one more uh one more item [3:31:50] to bring up Christina reminded me we had [3:31:52] discussed this the other day [3:31:54] it's been suggested to us [3:31:59] by our deputies that we consider a [3:32:02] couple more of our radar signs [3:32:05] that for Joe Carr Road and Marvin School [3:32:09] Road [3:32:10] they do seem to be working for their [3:32:13] intended purpose but there are issues [3:32:17] with [3:32:18] excessive speeding on both those [3:32:21] thoroughfares and [3:32:23] so I wanted to bring it up to you all if [3:32:25] you thought that we should entertain [3:32:27] looking at [3:32:28] acquiring two more of those [3:32:31] signs and placing them out there on [3:32:33] those two thoroughfares [3:32:35] um I would be [3:32:37] open to that because we know those are [3:32:39] two thoroughfares that are also over [3:32:42] this high [3:32:43] speeding but [3:32:45] I've since then you know traveling [3:32:48] around I've seen different signs [3:32:51] um I don't know [3:32:53] just curious I don't know if the one on [3:32:56] Marvin Road [3:32:57] is so effective it's slowing down I mean [3:33:00] it look as people I the one that always [3:33:04] got my attention was the one on Johnston [3:33:06] Road as you're going into and towards [3:33:08] Carmel [3:33:10] but I've also seen the one that is if [3:33:14] anybody has seen it going down [3:33:15] independence from Matthews [3:33:18] going down going towards Charlotte [3:33:21] they have one that absolutely from a [3:33:24] distance looks like blue lights from the [3:33:26] top of a [3:33:28] police car [3:33:29] and when you're riding it's just I mean [3:33:33] it's like oh my gosh and the first thing [3:33:35] hits you is somebody's been pulled over [3:33:37] and then the lights get your attention [3:33:39] then it has you know what your speed is [3:33:42] so I don't I would be open to maybe a [3:33:45] different sign depends on the cost of [3:33:47] course but [3:33:49] um that's my [3:33:52] you know opinion about it there there [3:33:54] was also a suggestion and it may or may [3:33:57] not be [3:33:58] correct but Ed had also mentioned that [3:34:01] he thought that those signs were capable [3:34:04] of reading speeds in both directions but [3:34:07] only displaying the one that you can see [3:34:10] for Diagnostic purposes for law [3:34:12] enforcement to be able to enforce [3:34:14] I'd like to look into that as well if [3:34:18] our signs are capable of that and if not [3:34:20] the ones that we may purchase in the [3:34:23] future if they may be if we can make [3:34:26] sure that they're they're capable of [3:34:27] doing that because there's really [3:34:30] nothing better than having that data for [3:34:33] our law enforcement to be able to do [3:34:35] their job it helps them traumatically so [3:34:38] um you're talking about [3:34:40] you're talking about the mobile one [3:34:42] right no the the permanent ones that are [3:34:44] oh you're talking about the permanent [3:34:45] ones and the the speeds if I mean if you [3:34:48] if you compare those speeds [3:34:52] um maximum speeds and and the amount of [3:34:55] speeding from when we first installed [3:34:58] those to what we're getting now [3:35:00] the maximum speeds have dropped by 20 [3:35:02] miles per hour [3:35:04] because we were seeing 109 100 and [3:35:07] whatever now we're down to 85 for Max [3:35:09] speeds so they are I think they're [3:35:12] walking I think they're like [3:35:15] because they've been consistently going [3:35:17] down so I I could tell you that [3:35:19] listening to constituents that [3:35:23] speed trap that they set up on Newtown [3:35:26] Road [3:35:27] uh two weeks ago three weeks ago that [3:35:30] had all the deputies out there got [3:35:33] everybody's attention everybody thought [3:35:35] what the heck and I I heard from a lot [3:35:39] of people like you know obviously Union [3:35:40] counties wanted to pad their their uh [3:35:43] sheriff department wants to pad their [3:35:45] pockets and all this kind of stuff what [3:35:47] kind of Sting was this but it got [3:35:48] everybody's attention yeah I heard a lot [3:35:51] of animals think I don't know if it's [3:35:52] substitute [3:35:54] you know also I don't mind us being a [3:35:56] speed trap [3:35:58] I'd rather see something instead of [3:36:00] something permanent you know we have [3:36:02] enough sign pollution as there is I'll [3:36:04] call it sign pollution especially in a [3:36:06] rural area [3:36:11] um so I would rather get something that [3:36:13] if we start to see problems we drag out [3:36:17] a mobile sign and park it and it stays [3:36:20] at the E for Park and we have one well [3:36:25] then if we have one [3:36:29] it gets moved around but one the thing [3:36:32] about it is it's not it's not there all [3:36:34] the time and my point is is that the [3:36:36] ones that are permanent are actually [3:36:38] making an impact because people's [3:36:40] they're they're recording it that's what [3:36:42] is in your packet every month when they [3:36:44] do the deputies report and the the [3:36:46] speeds have come down [3:36:47] the max speeds have come down the [3:36:50] average speeds have come down so it [3:36:52] seems to me that they're making an [3:36:54] impact and especially Joe Carr Road and [3:36:57] if you talk to our deputies they write [3:36:59] more tickets on Joe Carter Road than [3:37:00] anywhere else in the village [3:37:02] so I think that [3:37:06] um you know I think it's worth [3:37:08] considering I think uh you know [3:37:13] I'm not sure how much we spent on those [3:37:16] and I'm not sure how much they are now [3:37:19] but they do seem to be making an impact [3:37:22] so we can add it to the agenda I think [3:37:26] and for actual discussion but uh in the [3:37:29] purpose of time I think [3:37:31] we'll just note that and yeah that's [3:37:32] right possibly just wanted to bring it [3:37:34] up anything else [3:37:35] um no not for open topics but I need to [3:37:37] go back to item number 12. [3:37:40] right which is allowed [3:37:42] can you do that okay so I need to add I [3:37:47] need to make an additional motion sorry [3:37:48] I missed it this is back back to the [3:37:51] playground playground yeah so I need to [3:37:53] make a motion to authorize the manager [3:37:55] to execute the agreement I didn't do [3:37:58] that sorry [3:37:59] oh that would be important that'd be [3:38:01] important [3:38:04] all in favor I know I'm thinking of [3:38:07] further discussion because I [3:38:09] but I'm not going to go down that road [3:38:12] um I've said my piece I'm so pissed [3:38:15] um were you pissed about that they're [3:38:18] they're playing this game where okay we [3:38:20] can figure that out later I don't know [3:38:22] if you can't you agree with us but [3:38:28] agreed to the amount of money Christina [3:38:30] can still work on the negotiations yeah [3:38:33] we haven't spent the money yet okay [3:38:36] um we're going back to where you lost [3:38:44] all right uh your list is in there as [3:38:47] usual actually it's not nothing in there [3:38:50] it's actually not I apologize I must [3:38:52] have forgot to attach it [3:38:53] um I will pull it up we got nothing [3:38:56] I'm slack you put it up on the screen [3:39:00] we stopped communicating [3:39:02] um I'll pull it up on my screen here [3:39:06] um sorry [3:39:14] [Laughter] [3:39:20] I'm pulling up on the screen [3:39:23] there it is all right okay so [3:39:26] um the Geo Bond stuff is separate we [3:39:29] have continual [3:39:31] we have continual reminders going out [3:39:33] about the roundabout and road closure [3:39:35] we're advertising the bulk drop-off [3:39:37] event pretty much every week now the [3:39:40] candidate questionnaire interviews town [3:39:42] hall meeting promotions are starting [3:39:44] trick or treat promotions are starting [3:39:46] and then you have all the normal things [3:39:48] such as your meeting notices school [3:39:50] closures coffee with counsel wuma Labor [3:39:54] Day trash delays associated with Labor [3:40:00] that's pretty much all I got [3:40:04] stable can we add something to send out [3:40:06] to the residents and hopefully maybe the [3:40:08] residents will send it out to their [3:40:10] friends and post it on social media [3:40:13] um [3:40:15] to [3:40:17] please not drive through the roundabout [3:40:21] that is under construction because it [3:40:23] will cause delays [3:40:25] and the village will be on the hook for [3:40:27] those delays and overruns because that's [3:40:29] not their fault [3:40:31] it's not the contractor's fault if they [3:40:33] have to go in and fix stuff so that's [3:40:36] going to be on us [3:40:37] and there's a huge fine for it yeah it's [3:40:42] misdemeanor to go [3:40:43] be so [3:40:47] so if we if we can post that and just [3:40:51] reiterate somebody ran yeah they went [3:40:54] through it a couple days ago right [3:40:56] Christina [3:40:58] you watch somebody move the working [3:41:00] there no no After Hours night you should [3:41:03] see and I'm letting everybody in the [3:41:05] public know about this really seriously [3:41:07] you're going down I've been outside [3:41:10] you're going 55 miles an hour down [3:41:12] Marvin Road straight into those [3:41:13] barricades [3:41:14] and I've seen people like you totally [3:41:16] ignore whatever's being said and I know [3:41:19] it's not Marvin can you know residence [3:41:21] per se [3:41:22] but I I've witnessed it and it's like I [3:41:26] don't know what you're thinking and then [3:41:27] you get to the end and you're hitting [3:41:28] the brakes and you're going through The [3:41:30] Preserve to turn around or you go into [3:41:31] Innisbrook [3:41:33] um to try to turn around or try to find [3:41:35] an outlet [3:41:37] um [3:41:38] you know it's a 500 fine because I have [3:41:40] seen people now move I have seen people [3:41:42] move the barricades and move behind I [3:41:44] don't know even know what's behind there [3:41:45] I don't even know if it's drivable [3:41:47] I just wanted to say that [3:41:52] I will make that [3:42:00] okay moving on coffee with Council [3:42:02] debrief do you want us to still see this [3:42:04] oh sorry I'm typing my minutes in front [3:42:07] of you that's okay how embarrassing [3:42:11] coffee with Council debrief [3:42:13] um go ahead Joan Jamie well we had a [3:42:18] surprise visitor and Kim was there so we [3:42:20] had three of us [3:42:24] and we had probably the biggest group to [3:42:28] date for coffee with Council [3:42:30] started with just one or actually [3:42:33] representing the church two [3:42:35] representatives from the church and a [3:42:38] representative from zepsa and probably [3:42:45] 10 or 12 [3:42:47] 2015 maybe 15 residents [3:42:52] president [3:42:56] but you know we have dialogue going [3:42:58] which I thought was good and [3:43:02] some things were unfortunately it's [3:43:07] again given we had clarify things that [3:43:09] they were giving wrong [3:43:11] nation and public hearing that we [3:43:14] 've got the deviations [3:43:15] and one gentleman sent me information on [3:43:18] my [3:43:26] but I think it was good conversation [3:43:29] um [3:43:30] probably most likely not going to be [3:43:32] happy with what has happened I will say [3:43:35] that one individual who is affected [3:43:38] directly and abuts to the property I had [3:43:41] a phone call with and [3:43:43] he was aware of what was potentially [3:43:45] going to happen here and [3:43:48] expecting it [3:43:50] this quickly so um but he was aware [3:43:53] which I think when you as you know Kim [3:43:56] in real estate it's buyer beware you got [3:43:59] to know where you're buying and what's [3:44:01] going to potentially be happening and [3:44:02] this was talked about well before me and [3:44:05] is supported by the greater good which [3:44:10] probably one of the reasons this [3:44:14] today in our [3:44:16] but [3:44:18] other than that was there another coffee [3:44:21] with Council that someone was at the two [3:44:23] weeks [3:44:24] that was discussed at the previous [3:44:25] meeting okay all right [3:44:27] but that's all I had is that fair yeah [3:44:29] that's right the only thing I would say [3:44:32] is that with coffee with Council we [3:44:34] appreciate everyone coming in [3:44:37] and we do listen to everything that you [3:44:39] say we take all those things in [3:44:40] consideration and whether you believe it [3:44:43] or not and I hope hopefully that you do [3:44:45] and and you'll respect that we do take [3:44:47] these issues and concerns back to the [3:44:51] developer or or any instance that that [3:44:53] someone comes in and has a concern or [3:44:55] something like that to try to make it [3:44:58] where it works for both sides and [3:45:00] there's a win-win on both sides and I [3:45:03] can tell you from the time that we had [3:45:05] coffee with council Tuesday night till [3:45:08] now changes have changes were made [3:45:12] um that we presented to the developer [3:45:14] and those changes were made so to think [3:45:16] that we're we don't listen and we don't [3:45:19] consider those or take those with with [3:45:23] with respect we do and um [3:45:26] you know anyone that that came the other [3:45:29] night that that has questions about what [3:45:31] were those changes you know certainly [3:45:32] reach out to either uh the mayor or [3:45:35] myself and I've told them then I said [3:45:38] you've got my phone number please reach [3:45:40] out to me and we'll sort of discuss them [3:45:42] but uh listen it was great for me it was [3:45:45] great to have that many people show up [3:45:46] and I hope that we continue to have [3:45:48] people show up and voice their concerns [3:45:51] but also voice their their [3:45:54] um the other side of it saying you know [3:45:57] I'm you know I'm all for something an [3:46:01] appreciation for what you are doing and [3:46:03] as opposed to always just being you know [3:46:06] getting hammered on what we [3:46:08] you know what people think that we're [3:46:10] doing I'll have another comment about [3:46:11] that later in Council comments [3:46:16] [Music] [3:46:23] I would like I appreciate people showing [3:46:26] up I would like to reiterate that their [3:46:30] work ate coffee with Council [3:46:32] opportunities between the first Pim [3:46:36] and [3:46:37] the public hearing and we didn't have [3:46:40] anybody show up [3:46:43] to discuss this project [3:46:46] and [3:46:47] if we are to make [3:46:51] thoughtful [3:46:53] recommendations [3:46:54] request to the to the developers we have [3:46:58] to have that information [3:47:00] before two days or a day or the day of [3:47:04] public hearings or when we're going to [3:47:07] vote on something [3:47:09] so I would encourage [3:47:11] anyone who's listening to please be [3:47:14] informed know what is happening around [3:47:16] you [3:47:18] because it is very frustrating and [3:47:21] difficult for us as Council as we're [3:47:24] making these decisions we're like great [3:47:26] nobody's showing up everybody's happy [3:47:27] with it no problem moving right along we [3:47:30] love it we think it's great planning [3:47:31] board loves it they think it's great and [3:47:33] then all of a sudden we have a very [3:47:36] large contingent of a neighborhood that [3:47:39] shows up that are not in favor of it and [3:47:41] it's [3:47:42] basically we were blindsided by it so I [3:47:45] would I would request that people show [3:47:48] up earlier and be informed and don't [3:47:51] wait until the bulldozer is in your [3:47:53] backyard [3:47:55] last comment from coffee with Council [3:47:59] I was truly offended [3:48:03] by [3:48:05] one gentleman's remarks that we are [3:48:08] absolutely 100 percent getting bribed in [3:48:11] this process [3:48:12] it was uncalled for [3:48:15] it was called and he said it to me [3:48:19] called my character into judgment called [3:48:22] all of this entire council's character [3:48:25] into judgment [3:48:26] and it is false and I don't appreciate [3:48:31] it if you think that you know something [3:48:34] and you want to say it you show me facts [3:48:37] otherwise keep your mouth shut because [3:48:40] it is [3:48:42] disrespectful and rude and I will not [3:48:46] stand for that period And I told him [3:48:49] that [3:48:57] it's unfortunate that had you go down [3:48:59] that road but it was after we moved out [3:49:02] of the building and we were trying to [3:49:04] continue the conversation from [3:49:06] civil standpoint but anyways uh thank [3:49:09] those for all coming out and sharing [3:49:11] their comments reports and updates [3:49:14] uh managers report [3:49:18] again nothing [3:49:20] planners [3:49:23] uh the only thing that I want to [3:49:25] update you guys on is the uh Udo project [3:49:29] we are getting into the meat of that I [3:49:32] would either either encourage counsel at [3:49:36] the upcoming September 19th meeting to [3:49:38] either attend and just listen because we [3:49:41] are kind of getting into the direct like [3:49:42] regulations of zoning districts [3:49:45] permitted uses setback I mean all that [3:49:47] stuff and I think it's kind of important [3:49:49] for [3:49:50] Council to be aware to go ahead and [3:49:53] potentially provide feedback we can [3:49:55] either do [3:49:56] um a joint meeting or you guys can come [3:50:00] and we can just do a potential Quorum [3:50:01] notice you just participate as you know [3:50:04] residents of Marvin [3:50:06] um so just listen I can get you guys [3:50:07] binders and then any comments notes [3:50:10] questions stuff you guys have just write [3:50:11] them down let me know because the goal [3:50:13] of this is where planning board doesn't [3:50:15] go One Direction and gets in front of [3:50:17] council you know early next year for [3:50:19] adoption and it's completely different [3:50:22] visions that you guys have from planning [3:50:24] board I don't think that's necessarily [3:50:25] going to be the case [3:50:26] but uh the more that you guys are [3:50:28] involved in this project and kind of [3:50:30] aware now [3:50:31] um the better will be and the quicker we [3:50:33] can get this thing adopted it is going [3:50:35] great planning boards really really [3:50:38] um [3:50:39] group you know grasping this concept and [3:50:41] loving this process and uh [3:50:44] so I just wanted to mention that [3:50:46] is there [3:50:47] um is you know I obviously couldn't make [3:50:51] the last playing board meeting but I [3:50:53] know that the planning board meeting is [3:50:55] hopping all over the calendar and there [3:50:59] was supposed to be the training meeting [3:51:01] and then the planning board are we [3:51:03] containing it just to the one planning [3:51:04] board meeting yes so moving forward [3:51:06] right now [3:51:08] um they're back down to just one meeting [3:51:10] a month just because when we started [3:51:12] this process we did we were working on [3:51:14] those revisions for the form-based code [3:51:15] and then we got the rezoning so we did [3:51:17] have a lot on our plates that's why we [3:51:18] broke it up in the two meetings but [3:51:19] right now we don't have any any other [3:51:23] type of submittals I have to go through [3:51:25] review and it just kind of as if [3:51:28] something is submitted then we'll have [3:51:29] to make that determination if we need to [3:51:30] schedule an additional meeting [3:51:32] um but or sorry recess the meeting uh [3:51:36] but these meetings last anywhere from an [3:51:38] hour and a half two hours it is the only [3:51:40] thing on the September agenda uh [3:51:42] and you like I said you can watch online [3:51:44] you can watch the recordings but I will [3:51:47] go ahead and get your guys binders done [3:51:49] next week [3:51:50] uh up to date with all the language and [3:51:53] um if you want to meet about it be happy [3:51:55] to to kind of also get you guys up to [3:51:57] speed but uh like I said I do encourage [3:52:00] you guys to come and attend or watch [3:52:02] online or watch the recordings [3:52:07] other than that that is all I have [3:52:09] unless Council has any questions on [3:52:11] anything [3:52:13] thank you Hunter [3:52:14] Yvette planning report updating [3:52:18] rules and regulations for the barbecue [3:52:21] and Brews event yeah so real quick [3:52:24] barbecue and Brews [3:52:27] we'll do it ether Park I'm recommending [3:52:30] November 18th I know we hadn't really [3:52:32] set a date [3:52:35] quite yet but November 18th from three [3:52:38] to five in the afternoon [3:52:40] um [3:52:41] the rules are pretty much just talk [3:52:44] about [3:52:46] we'll pick up the meat here on Friday [3:52:48] the 17th [3:52:50] um everybody it talks about everybody's [3:52:51] gonna have a 20 by 20 space out of the [3:52:53] park [3:52:54] for smoking there may gates are going to [3:52:56] open [3:52:57] to the cookers at five o'clock Friday [3:53:01] night and will be open for you to come [3:53:05] and go all throughout the park as needed [3:53:07] all night [3:53:08] um [3:53:10] and then basically we just talk about [3:53:15] you got the council is right now plan to [3:53:18] be the judges for the event we're gonna [3:53:20] have three types of meat Boston butt [3:53:24] ribs and chicken again that's subject to [3:53:27] change depending on how many people we [3:53:30] have sign up to cook be kind of might [3:53:34] vary how much meat we give each person [3:53:36] to cook but [3:53:39] any questions about barbecue and Brews [3:53:42] can we call it Brews and Q [3:53:45] that's actually cute it is yeah [3:53:50] we can look into it okay cool hey I just [3:53:53] wanted to mention real quick we um Tyler [3:53:55] and I've been working on these little [3:53:56] templates for events I don't know if you [3:53:58] see this this is how all the event [3:54:00] updates will come to you in your agenda [3:54:02] packets from here forward so you can go [3:54:04] ahead and review kind of what's there [3:54:07] what the anticipated budget is in case [3:54:09] you see anything that just doesn't jive [3:54:10] with what you're thinking this is kind [3:54:13] of where we would go ahead and make [3:54:14] decisions for you and if you don't agree [3:54:16] with it we would expect you to say it at [3:54:18] the time [3:54:19] of the the you know the event [3:54:22] log when it first comes out for example [3:54:24] if you look on to the [3:54:27] one-man acoustic set for entertainment [3:54:30] we're going to try to put little notes [3:54:31] in there [3:54:33] otherwise if y'all don't say anything [3:54:35] about it we just assume that it's okay [3:54:36] and we'll go ahead and go through with [3:54:38] those types of small detail unless [3:54:41] anything said by the date specified [3:54:45] so just make sure you're keeping a good [3:54:46] eye on these components because it's you [3:54:49] know so we're not getting down into the [3:54:50] weeds of every single little detail and [3:54:52] every little event we're going to go [3:54:53] ahead and just start planning things as [3:54:54] we think that they should be unless [3:54:56] y'all tell us otherwise by a certain [3:54:58] date that we establish [3:55:07] certainly hope that we have more than 75 [3:55:09] people show up for this which I'm sure [3:55:11] that's a conservative number that you [3:55:12] want to [3:55:13] do you have a contingency for [3:55:17] if we do have say 200 people show up [3:55:20] for extra time allotment so those types [3:55:24] of things I say I know you said three to [3:55:25] five it's a little early in the [3:55:27] afternoon but I understand with the [3:55:30] cooking and all that stuff are as their [3:55:32] Provisions for it to run longer if [3:55:35] there's big attendance that kind of [3:55:37] thing so basically it's got to be less [3:55:39] than three hours [3:55:41] um because of [3:55:43] serving food and not having them [3:55:46] actually have a sanitation grade and the [3:55:49] environmental health this is based on [3:55:50] their form that I had to fill out so [3:55:51] it's got to be less than three hours if [3:55:53] we're not going to have them actually [3:55:54] sell plates of food or them come out and [3:55:58] check everybody and make sure they have [3:56:00] all the sanitation grade and all that so [3:56:03] but [3:56:06] well can we if it's three hours can we [3:56:09] just extend it to six [3:56:10] like from three to six yeah I think that [3:56:13] would be is it just because I I mean I [3:56:15] know it's going to be getting dark [3:56:16] earlier so I know that's why we didn't [3:56:19] push it later but can we just do yeah [3:56:22] like that if there are a lot of people [3:56:23] there squeezing it into two hours could [3:56:26] be logistically a little bit of a [3:56:28] headaches and and they will be serving [3:56:30] it to the people right yeah but it's [3:56:32] because they're serving samples as [3:56:34] opposed to plates [3:56:37] and they're paying their ten dollars [3:56:38] they're going to get some right you'll [3:56:40] have like a wristband cues I don't know [3:56:43] oh I don't know and we're and we're [3:56:45] going to have bring your own beer okay [3:56:47] this year just so we can kind of like [3:56:48] compile the numbers for next year and we [3:56:50] can or whatever it'll be an easier sale [3:56:52] to distilleries and breweries and say [3:56:54] like look here we had 200 people here [3:56:55] like this is somewhere you want to set [3:56:57] up okay [3:56:58] okay so just one thing to note from what [3:57:01] I have been told and I can't [3:57:03] substantiate this but it was rumor that [3:57:05] I've been told that when this new thing [3:57:10] goes in Valentine that [3:57:13] um [3:57:14] OMB is going to be moving their main [3:57:19] place to the Valentine area from Uptown [3:57:21] because of space constraints and such so [3:57:26] just keeping that in mind if they're [3:57:28] going to be right here around the corner [3:57:30] you know for some of our events and such [3:57:33] they uh I hope they did well the last [3:57:35] time they were here but I didn't get any [3:57:38] feedback on that but I thought they did [3:57:40] I certainly spent some money with them [3:57:42] so [3:57:49] are you guys okay with the one-man [3:57:51] acoustic so we don't have to wait until [3:57:52] the September deadline [3:57:55] everybody good with that yeah [3:57:58] does it [3:58:05] let me get a little more than the same I [3:58:08] might get a sample and a half I will [3:58:10] mention too this was a this was a an [3:58:12] event that wasn't budgeted for so even [3:58:13] though we're bringing in Revenue we [3:58:14] still have to go back and do a amendment [3:58:17] to bring it in and spend it back out [3:58:19] FYI [3:58:30] [Laughter] [3:58:33] you're so full of ideas Joe more [3:58:36] questions about barbecue Brews all right [3:58:40] Brews and cues sorry everybody [3:58:43] all right [3:58:45] questions on that update on Marvin [3:58:48] so Marvin day we've booked a band [3:58:50] Breakfast Club they'll be there as you [3:58:53] know we've condensed the day from four [3:58:55] to nine thirty ish however long band [3:58:59] will stop at 9 15. fireworks will follow [3:59:01] directly so then however long the [3:59:02] fireworks go we'll have three food [3:59:06] trucks [3:59:07] um and and then a [3:59:10] dessert sweets truck will be there [3:59:13] um [3:59:16] Let's see we have our DJ we have our [3:59:18] face paint hair tinsels magic show he's [3:59:22] going to be there

I'm working on the details with [3:59:31] him right now but he will be like [3:59:33] putting on like a 30-minute show [3:59:37] um as opposed and doing the balloon [3:59:38] animals and everything [3:59:41] um [3:59:44] it's pretty much it right now we're only [3:59:46] going to come from Marvin Ridge High [3:59:48] School we that's where we're going to [3:59:49] shuttle back and forth from just one [3:59:51] location [3:59:52] we have the parking lot [3:59:54] um we'll have disc golf again fireworks [3:59:57] quotes coming in right now I basically [3:59:59] asked him for the same show as last year [4:00:01] because I think everybody liked that one [4:00:06] pretty much all I got [4:00:15] a regular venue of how we get messages [4:00:18] now but targeting all the schools [4:00:21] whether it's an announcement in the [4:00:23] morning to some sort of [4:00:26] way that they have [4:00:28] banners they put up as people were [4:00:31] driving cars into maybe we can get [4:00:33] permission to put signs up as we drive [4:00:36] into the [4:00:37] things they're dropping off their kids a [4:00:39] reminder as it gets closer to that date [4:00:41] or maybe a month out I'm sure in [4:00:44] exchange for what we do for them [4:00:47] and do that and like yeah but that that [4:00:51] would be key and uh [4:00:56] breastfeed that one that I had [4:01:00] this one [4:01:03] that's all [4:01:05] everybody good on Marvin day [4:01:08] 20 000 estimated cost Thirty [4:01:12] Thirty sorry Thirty I said 20. yeah that [4:01:15] might I might not have changed that [4:01:17] number at the bottom but it is 30.

a regular basis [4:10:00] so that's all I have thank you [4:10:05] I would reiterate what uh councilman [4:10:09] Wortman has said in the fact that I I've [4:10:12] personally enjoyed [4:10:16] the issues and situations that have been [4:10:19] posed to the council [4:10:21] and for the public out there we all have [4:10:24] our different opinions we all have our [4:10:26] different personalities but it's great [4:10:28] to see a team that works together that [4:10:30] works out issues together for the common [4:10:33] good so I I want to give a thanks to the [4:10:36] council and as of course well as the [4:10:39] staff so thank you [4:10:42] okay [4:10:44] a couple things [4:10:46] um one is I had someone come up to me [4:10:48] that said [4:10:50] made a claim and I'm not saying it's [4:10:51] true or not but made a claim that one of [4:10:54] the the when they were going by to pick [4:10:56] up trash [4:10:57] that the guy got off the truck [4:10:59] and was by or near his yard and was [4:11:03] peeing [4:11:05] made the claim I'm not saying it's true [4:11:08] I'm just saying they made the claim to [4:11:10] me [4:11:12] um [4:11:13] was I I don't know if they filed a [4:11:16] complaint with with the sheriff's [4:11:17] department and [4:11:19] if they followed up on that but that [4:11:21] that's just a claim can you give me the [4:11:24] address off the Record and I can follow [4:11:25] up because they they do have cameras [4:11:27] I'll do my best it was right here [4:11:30] we'll talk after yeah [4:11:32] um [4:11:33] there is a tree on the trail down [4:11:41] the tree on the trail has been removed [4:11:42] but the tree that's in there [4:11:43] right-of-way is not ours so that's what [4:11:45] I'm [4:11:46] we won't touch that with the tree on the [4:11:49] trail has been removed okay so but who's [4:11:52] going to remove the rest of it is that [4:11:54] dot dot [4:11:56] and and Dot should do it because it is [4:11:59] blocking up the um the the Gully [4:12:03] the ditch [4:12:04] the pitch in the ditch the pitch of the [4:12:07] ditch we can report a concern to on dot [4:12:09] yeah that'd be great and it's almost in [4:12:11] the road actually just tell them it's in [4:12:14] then they'll come out and do something [4:12:17] there was um they did the big speed [4:12:20] thing a month or so ago or a few weeks [4:12:24] ago [4:12:25] um we just got to have people just be [4:12:28] cognizant of of their speed going [4:12:31] through it's easy to speed down Joe Carr [4:12:33] it is and to say I haven't done it I'd [4:12:36] be lying so [4:12:38] but they have to be aware of it and [4:12:40] let's just try to work with everyone to [4:12:42] do this the speed thing [4:12:44] um [4:12:46] I want to thank I truly truly want to [4:12:49] thank Village [4:12:51] staff [4:12:52] and Council for all the hard work that [4:12:55] went into the Tullamore and Amber [4:12:57] Meadows situation I mean that took a lot [4:13:01] of time [4:13:02] a lot of time was spent on that and to [4:13:05] be able to come come away with this and [4:13:07] I think we can just use this as an [4:13:09] example for us because we we should all [4:13:12] look to improve ourselves as a council [4:13:15] to to take to to walk away from as best [4:13:18] we can to walk away with every situation [4:13:20] that we come in with a win-win where [4:13:23] it's not a win lose it's not a tie tie [4:13:26] or whatever but it's a win-win and [4:13:27] that's a great example of a win-win and [4:13:30] I think that helps all of us so thanks [4:13:32] thank Council truly thank Council and [4:13:36] staff for for really working through [4:13:38] that through that situation I'm going to [4:13:42] go back to Kim's piece on because this [4:13:45] isn't the first it's not the second and [4:13:48] it's not the third time that one of us [4:13:51] on this Council have been have been [4:13:54] um [4:13:55] an insinuation has been made or a [4:13:59] statement statement has been made about [4:14:01] bribes and payoffs and the only thing I [4:14:04] can say to that if if someone truly [4:14:07] believes that before you make a [4:14:08] statement like that just know that [4:14:10] you're you're really you're really [4:14:12] spitting in someone's face from an [4:14:14] Integrity standpoint I don't appreciate [4:14:16] it and if you think that I'm taking a [4:14:18] bribe where I'm taking a kickback or I'm [4:14:20] getting a payoff please come to me and [4:14:24] or or any of us or come to the come to [4:14:26] the town The Village manager and address [4:14:29] that in a way that that has context and [4:14:33] content around it and if you want to [4:14:35] audit me please feel free to do it [4:14:38] you're gonna you're gonna pay for it but [4:14:40] please understand on the back side of [4:14:42] that there's going to be a significant [4:14:44] penalty for you for making that claim [4:14:47] now I don't know what form that comes in [4:14:50] I'm not I'm not threatening anyone but [4:14:52] you're threatening me and you're [4:14:54] threatening this Council and I think [4:14:56] it's completely and totally unfair we're [4:14:58] just trying to do our jobs if you don't [4:15:00] like the job that we're doing [4:15:02] come November please just just don't [4:15:04] vote for me [4:15:06] I I'll just tell you for me don't vote [4:15:08] for me if you think I'm if you think I [4:15:10] would go to the level of taking a bribe [4:15:12] or a payoff [4:15:13] please don't vote for me [4:15:15] and that's all I can say but but it's it [4:15:17] let's have a discussion to Kim's point [4:15:21] when when you come with coffee with [4:15:22] counselor you come to this counsel with [4:15:24] something [4:15:25] I hope that we are showing you the same [4:15:29] level of respect that we deserve in [4:15:32] return [4:15:33] and if we can start there I [4:15:37] we can get a lot of things done and we [4:15:39] can make this a good Community for all [4:15:42] of us and be a win-win for all of us but [4:15:45] it's frustrating to have people say [4:15:47] bribes and and payoffs because I've [4:15:50] heard I've heard it now for for three [4:15:52] years and I I haven't seen the nickel of [4:15:56] it yet [4:15:57] and don't want to I don't ever what I do [4:16:00] what I do here is because I I believe in [4:16:02] it and it's certainly not because [4:16:04] someone has given me a dime or wants me [4:16:06] to do something in return with that [4:16:08] thanks to the law enforcement for all [4:16:11] you do and staff you do you guys do an [4:16:14] amazing job [4:16:16] for what for the residents of Marvin [4:16:18] thank you again [4:16:22] Kim [4:16:24] ditto to what Jamie said [4:16:29] now my turn [4:16:31] um I was going right down the same path [4:16:33] you were thinking uh right away thanking [4:16:35] Staff Hunter I know he's not here but he [4:16:37] did a lot of work Christina obviously [4:16:40] and specifically the two HOA presidents [4:16:43] Amber Meadows and Tullamore who it's a [4:16:46] thankless job but they were on your side [4:16:49] in the community and to Jamie's Point [4:16:51] getting to a resolution where it win-win [4:16:54] and everyone walks away feeling right [4:16:57] and more importantly we're doing getting [4:16:59] things back in order there are some what [4:17:03] do you want us if you want to call it [4:17:04] sins of our fathers doing things that we [4:17:07] couldn't control we were handed what we [4:17:08] were [4:17:09] handed but the key is to making it right [4:17:12] and I think that's what we accomplished [4:17:14] yesterday [4:17:16] um quick uh prayers to all that are [4:17:18] affected in the Florida Georgia South [4:17:20] Carolina North Carolina [4:17:22] recent hurricane that has passed through [4:17:25] we're heading down to the beach this [4:17:27] weekend for vacation and we'll probably [4:17:30] see some things that we'll need to clean [4:17:32] up so hoping everything goes well there [4:17:34] continue prayers also to those displaced [4:17:37] and our loss in Hawaii as well [4:17:40] and um I think Bob mentioned this a [4:17:44] little bit uh they had a little [4:17:46] um event if you want to call it from the [4:17:48] sheriff's department 131 citations I [4:17:51] think were mentioned that were pulled [4:17:53] over that's a lot of speeding guys a lot [4:17:56] of tickets [4:17:57] um if you got one shame on you but uh [4:17:59] slow down and uh it's uh you know this [4:18:04] is not just saying this because school [4:18:06] is back in which you know a lot of us [4:18:08] are happy our kids are back to school [4:18:10] but uh you know there's more important [4:18:13] reasons to be slowing and letting off [4:18:15] the thing another note [4:18:18] um [4:18:19] elections are coming up for local [4:18:22] elections I just want to point out that [4:18:25] I'm running unopposed however do take it [4:18:28] seriously and I'm offering to any group [4:18:30] or event anybody who wants a host a [4:18:34] neighborhood where you want to hear from [4:18:36] me obviously we have coffee with Council [4:18:38] you can come and talk to the members you [4:18:41] can wait to the ones that are being [4:18:42] elected or I will make myself available [4:18:44] I'm sure Bob and Jamie would extend that [4:18:47] as well but I'd like to see some some [4:18:50] dialogue respectful dialogue that we can [4:18:53] share about the future what's going on [4:18:55] here because it's it's finally we're at [4:18:58] a point where things are getting done [4:19:01] and you know I I I I can clearly hold my [4:19:06] head high with what I think is happening [4:19:08] within the village and it's I think [4:19:10] we're going in the right direction [4:19:13] um [4:19:16] last thing I'm a big supporter of our [4:19:20] schools we're very involved my wife and [4:19:22] I she's on the uh she's the band booster [4:19:25] president and I'm I'm in charge of Pitt [4:19:27] but that's one of the groups within the [4:19:29] high school that doesn't get a lot of [4:19:31] funding so uh you know we're doing the [4:19:34] go play save again they're thirty [4:19:36] dollars is over sixty one hundred [4:19:38] dollars in or sixty two hundred dollars [4:19:40] in local savings on everything from [4:19:42] grocery stores to you name it it's easy [4:19:45] to get your money back on that and half [4:19:47] of the proceeds go to the band uh [4:19:51] members and we work on a really tight [4:19:53] budget you think the village is tight I [4:19:56] would tell you the band is very tight so [4:19:58] um but we're looking forward to a great [4:20:00] season lots of competitions coming up [4:20:02] and we're definitely looking forward to [4:20:05] that so [4:20:06] um with that I will ask that we [4:20:10] close and uh [4:20:12] end our meeting so I moved all is in [4:20:14] favor hi hi
