00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,480
uh that was in question staff needs a

127
00:10:01,079 --> 00:10:06,600
little bit of time to evaluate the

00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,560
feasibility of that location um and so

129
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,959
we're asking staff is asking to continue

130
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,640
that case till the April meeting so that

131
00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:16,880
would be April

135
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,760
unlikely to occur based on scheduling

136
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:41,240
conflex okay so yeah so April have

137
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:44,800
to unless we I think in May unless we

138
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,680
moved yeah we could always change dates

139
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:51,040
that's

140
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:51,040
right I'm out seven to the 18

141
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Mays all right we can maybe move a

142
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:07,480
date table Yeah but I'm fine the table

143
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:09,279
anybody have any objection to that if if

144
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,639
you're going to change the DAT if we can

145
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:13,399
do it when you table that avoid some of

146
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:18,320
the the notice

147
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:22,240
issues that on right let's

148
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:25,160
uh just look at it real quick uh April

149
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,120
17th is the next meeting date yes sir

150
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,240

151
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,120
are

152
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:35,399
you I'm I'm good for that so we just

153
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,399
need to firm

154
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:42,800
up if

155
00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:45,480
um if he's not available Mr bur did I

156
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:48,000
understand you to say move it to the 10

157
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,440
the 10

158
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,320
yeah yeah the

159
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:57,320
10 the the only thing I would say is um

160
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,720
would it be better if we I think it

161
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,440
might be better for the second case that

162
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,360
we might discuss us here in a moment to

163
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:07,519
give ourselves a little bit more time um

164
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,519
perhaps the 18th or the

165
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,959
24th 24th is not good for

166
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,160
me I think so

167
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,600
have a work calendar me but yeah I think

168
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,800
so I'm off today I took to but I think I

169
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:44,600
think Thursday morning the 18th be so

170
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:49,639
9:00 a.m. April 18th here in M I'll make

171
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:53,440

00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:57,040
20236 to April 18 at 9:00

173
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,120
a.m. second all right all those in favor

00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,680
say

175
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,560
I

176
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:04,800
oos all right there's no conflict with

177
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:07,920
this room on that day is there I don't

179
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,040

180
00:13:09,199 --> 00:13:15,639

resolution and may be able to do that

191
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,079

00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:55,040
yes so this is on for an appealed an

197
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:58,800
administrative decision the uh location

198
00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:00,839
of a a collector Road um it would appear

199
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,000
that that our client and the adjacent

200
00:14:00,839 --> 00:14:06,160
property owners have um an agreement as

201
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,279
to the location of the roadway as as

202
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,360
proposed the application um obviously

203
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:12,720
that's something that we need to work

204
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,800
with staff to to make sure that that

205
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,160
everybody is on boarded on that and

206
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,040
we're going to Endeavor to have

207
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,720
conversation within the next

208
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,959
several possibly as early as Friday or

209
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,600
next week um to uh see whether we can

210
00:14:23,959 --> 00:14:28,399
achieve agreement it would appear that

211
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:31,000
it would be in everyone's best interest

212
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:34,079
uh and Cly the interest of time to

213
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,120
continue the matter one single time it

214
00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:39,759
would appear that April the 18th is the

215
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:44,160
is the magic date right now so so will

216
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:47,040
the variance still be needed if you it's

217
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:50,440
it's not a variance

218
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,839
um excuse me yeah appeal would that

219
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,480
still be necessary if you guys reach

220
00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:59,199
agreement um not if we reach agreement

221
00:14:54,480 --> 00:15:01,680
Mr Paper I I would say okay all right

222
00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:03,360
well I I say that I mean there is a

223
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,959
possibility that we would need to come

224
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,600
before you all as a formality all right

225
00:15:05,959 --> 00:15:09,440

of procedure yes sir Mr chairman this is

249
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,319
something that we've been discussing now

250
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:26,720
for uh the better part of a year y uh we

251
00:16:24,319 --> 00:16:28,959
formalized the rules of procedure after

252
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,360
multiple discussions with the board um

253
00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:35,399
you all saw this last meeting and it's

254
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,399
ready to be voted on uh it's there's two

255
00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:39,440
additions aside from updating the

256
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:42,920
language to reference

257
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:46,040
160d um there are two additions to

258
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:49,040
article four of the rules of procedure

259
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:51,360
the attachment uh shows all the changes

260
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,360
in

261
00:16:53,279 --> 00:17:00,839
red and I and J are the ones we were

262
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,839
discussing last yes sir that's correct

263
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:17,400
disc no like it because in written form

264
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,039
it gives the chairman and the board that

265
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,439
opportunity to limit discussion because

266
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:23,880
we've seen it in this forum that uh you

267
00:17:22,439 --> 00:17:27,760
know supposed to be evidence it's not

268
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:30,440
supposed to be matters of opinion or

269
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:33,440
conjecture so this this gives

270
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,440
that

271
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:44,880

any other discussions for the board just

288
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,280
looking at the website the website needs

289
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,039
to be updated based on your

290
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,760
thank you thank you yeah I think there's

291
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:35,679
a couple website there's a couple

292
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,799
landing pages where board members are

293
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:39,400
outdated and different things are

294
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,840
outdated because there's like two or

295
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,400
three different landing pages whether

296
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,960
it's Civic web or the Pender County and

297
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,320
also the advertisement for our openings

298
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,640
it has two districts but it only has one

299
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:54,640
opening and it needs to say right in the

300
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:57,960
paper right so there's also um the

301
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,520
county has hired a and I may botch the

302
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,480
the word of this but essentially a

303
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,919
company to build us a website so we're

304
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,000
transitioning to a new website um

305
00:19:03,919 --> 00:19:09,600
essentially each department has been

306
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,520
managing like kind of its own website um

307
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,559
and I don't say that as an excuse for

308
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,559
why things are wrong but just you know

309
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:16,919
there is going to be a transition to to

310
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:19,919
a new website but we'll get that

311
00:19:16,919 --> 00:19:22,840
