[0:04] Call over to second meeting on October 7th. Roll call. Mr. Morrow. Here. Mr. Casey. Yeah. Mr. Boys. Here. Mr. Ingram. Yeah. Mr. Roe. Yeah.

[0:17] Wriggle of agenda. Motion to approve the agenda as presented. In a second. Second. All in favor. All right. All right.

[0:31] I guess Mr. Nighton or

[0:35] We don't have to introduce emergency declaration for the portion of just figures.

[0:38] What way to read that?

[0:41] James is here in case you have any questions about it.

[0:43] One of them probably should present what's going on before we just vote on something that

[0:47] nobody knows about.

[0:48] Some others are probably not aware.

[0:50] You could, Mr. Knight, not appreciate it.

[0:51] Thank you, sir.

[0:52] Would you like me to read this, uh, the memo?

[0:55] Yeah.

[0:56] Whatever's easy for you.

[0:57] Either that or give a basic representation.

[0:58] One or the two.

[1:00] I'll just read this.

[1:01] This will be easier for me.

[1:02] All right, so the Matthews County Wetlands Board has requested the Board of Supervisors

[1:07] action declaring an emergency for the six properties listed above.

[1:10] That's tax map 44B-2-A-25, 44B-4-A-23, 21.

[1:23] It's okay for some people to file out and just try to keep it.

[1:27] What's your cam?

[1:28] Thank you.

[1:29] So 21, 19, 17, 15, and 13.

[1:36] These six waterfront properties are situated along the Chesapeake Bay, just north of Bay

[1:40] Vaughan Beach, off of Chesapeake Shore Road.

[1:42] Erosion has been taking place on this highly vulnerable shoreline for years.

[1:45] However, since the recent Norristers and Hurricane Dorian, in particular, the erosion is accelerated

[1:50] drastically, threatening public health and safety, and upattaching photos in your packet.

[1:56] Governor Northam issued an executive order on September 2, 2019 that expired on October

[2:01] October 2, 2019, declaring emergency for Virginia with the expectation that there will be damage

[2:05] from Hurricane Dwayne.

[2:07] Chapter 122 of the Matthews County, San Dean Ornith, Section 3, Letter K, allows activities

[2:13] pursuant to any emergency declaration by the governing body of any local government or the

[2:18] governor of the Commonwealth or any public health officer for the purposes protecting

[2:22] the public health and safety.

[2:24] This authority is granted to the local government body through the adoption of Virginia State

[2:28] code model beach and dune ordinance 28.2-14. An emergency declaration would allow the above

[2:34] matching properties to protect their shoreline without going through the formal permit process

[2:38] which could take at least 45 days. Even though an emergency declaration exempts the applicants

[2:43] from obtaining permits and they were still an administrative review process to be done by

[2:47] all relevant agencies as well as opposed to construction compliance check.

[2:52] It is recommended that the duration of this declaration remain in effect until March 31,

[2:56] First, 2020 to ensure all work can be completed.

[2:59] Under this declaration, the Homeowners Association is proposing a total of 800 linear feet

[3:02] of rip-out preventment against the eroded shoreline to be five feet tall and 13 feet wide.

[3:09] So, if you guys have any questions for me, I'll be happy to answer those.

[3:13] Well, members, any questions?

[3:17] No, I think this is needed so those people can keep the houses from rushing in the bay.

[3:21] Absolutely.

[3:21] We need to do everything we can to help them out.

[3:23] I agree. I was contacted by some of the contractors that are working on it and what

[3:29] happens is it was a declaration by the governor and no one was aware how small a

[3:34] window who was and was surprised and we're basically going to sign a declaration

[3:38] to make it emergency. I'll write to the secretary. Pretty black and white.

[3:45] Okay, as long as everybody knows who's won't let you all know. That's fine. Thank you

[3:49] tonight. Yep. We'd go to a vote on that. Would you like, yeah, would you like me to read it?

[3:55] We should. It's appropriate. Resolution for Declaration of Local Emergency for the County of

[4:01] Matthews, Virginia, whereas on September 5th and 6th 2019, Matthews County was impacted by Hurricane

[4:08] Dorian. And whereas there are structures that were severely damaged by Hurricane Dorian,

[4:14] now therefore be it resolved by the Matthews County Board of Supervisors at a specially called

[4:18] meeting on October 7, 2019, that as a result of the damaging effects of Hurricane Dorian

[4:24] on September 5 and 6, 2019, a declaration of local emergency is hereby issued for parcels

[4:31] 44B to A25, 44B, 4A23, 44B, 4A21, 44B, 4A19, 44B, 4A17, 44B, I'm sorry, 44B, 4A15,

[4:56] and 44, B, 4,

[5:00] A-13, and that this declaration is set to expire on March 31st, 2020 is authorized by Virginia

[5:08] Code Section 44-146.21.

[5:12] The motion.

[5:14] Members, motion to accept resolution as presented.

[5:18] So move.

[5:19] Have a second.

[5:21] Second.

[5:22] All in favor?

[5:24] Aye.

[5:25] A devotee show 5-0.

[5:28] All right, let's take a care of it.

[5:30] All right.

[5:31] I'll do the next part.

[5:38] Not sure who's presenting that, Mr. Row.

[5:42] I have a statement to make.

[5:44] Okay.

[5:45] This board rotates chairmen as a tradition.

[5:49] Every year, Mr. Moore, you've been the channel for 10 months.

[5:53] You've been counseled and have been very uncooperative.

[5:58] You have been compatible with staff.

[6:00] And I feel you have eroded the public trust and credibility.

[6:05] Our program is agreed to study this investigation.

[6:19] I don't know what you just said, I know, I don't read you it, I don't let you put me in that now, I put you in nothing, no.

[6:27] I don't know.

[6:29] Well, you've got the JBL construction.

[6:31] What's the England?

[6:32] All right.

[6:32] You've missed it.

[6:33] Hold on, hold on.

[6:35] Hold on.

[6:36] It's my turn to speak.

[6:37] You speak for the fact that Charles is telling a lot of you.

[6:41] Did you agree to that?

[6:43] Well, we're all going to change the talk.

[6:46] You've got the JBL properties and a homeowner and private land.

[6:49] I'm going to discuss it with the board.

[6:50] What's that?

[6:51] What's about?

[6:51] ahead is not a deal, you have a

[6:56] capability to somehow disarm

[6:57] this investigation.

[7:02] I will make a

[7:02] motion that you will administer more

[7:04] as chairman in a place that looks

[7:06] the case that is chairman and Ms.

[7:08] DeBois as vice chairman.

[7:13] That's not

[7:14] awesome, Ms. deaf. I just made a

[7:16] motion. It's this sports job to

[7:20] maintain integrity. Is there a

[7:21] second? As soon as I finished

[7:23] I second the motion it's this board's job to maintain integrity we were elected to

[7:31] govern calmly and deliberately as chairman mr. Mora repeatedly ignored the

[7:35] board's will misrepresented the board and at times acted completely contrary to

[7:40] board decisions in specific direction it is a pattern of bad behavior that

[7:44] needs to be addressed officially by this board to reduce risk for the county and

[7:48] restore the trust of our citizens the following are some examples of the

[7:52] unacceptable behavior, unauthorized representation of the board to the state and media, disclosure of

[7:58] closed meeting content outside the closed meeting, interference and undue pressure on employees

[8:04] of the county, calling for emergency meetings that were not emergencies, making reactive

[8:10] impulsive decisions that unnecessarily disrupt governance and management of the county wasting

[8:15] precious time and resources. Blocking the progress of board assigned committees, refusing to fulfill

[8:21] the coordination role of chairman related to board legal representation, holding back vital

[8:27] information from the board prior to regular board meetings, repeatedly disrupting the spirit

[8:32] of harmony and cooperation that the board strives to maintain, often conducts themselves

[8:37] in a rude and discourteous manner when addressing some individuals presenting to the board.

[8:42] Board members are responsible for protecting the rights of each individual member of the board,

[8:48] County administrative employees and the public as a group we govern policy and

[8:53] legislation. One single individual on the board cannot operate you know

[8:57] laterally without the board's approval. That is why I second the motion.

[9:04] This speech is nice but not entirely true. This council might understand and is or

[9:09] maybe you should share some light on this. My understanding is going to be removed by the

[9:14] Court. Is that true? I think the motion is to remove you as chairman not from the board.

[9:23] That's correct. Justice chairman. That's as I understand it.

[9:27] And your feeling is that's... You became chairman by a vote of the board, correct?

[9:36] Yes.

[9:38] So that's what you feel is correct?

[9:43] Yes, if you were appointed to the position of chair by motion, then the way to remove you as chair would also be by motion, but you would continue in full force as a member of the Board of Supervisors.

[10:00] It does nothing to affect that.

[10:08] That's the decision that the board wants to take.

[10:13] The whole

[10:13] lot of things that both of y'all made wasn't exactly true, but we're not going to debate

[10:17] that here tonight.

[10:23] So what do you want to hear now? Take it to a vote.

[10:27] I'll find a question.

[10:29] I can't call for a question. You have a question or you can't find a question.

[10:37] All in

[10:42] favor? All in

[10:54] favor?

[11:01] second. Second. All in favor. Aye. Aye.

[11:08] Three. All opposed. Two. Three to two. Four. No, it's five. All in voting control.

[11:15] Oh, I thought you I know you voted, but I thought you voted your journey. Yeah. Okay. Five zero.

[11:24] Meeting.
