We had looked at BCI that we got two years ago that was really good 83 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,160 for training equipment. However, the way they focus 84 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:10,000 a lot We could apply for 85 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:15,599 for internal procedures and equipment. We implemented the record policy 86 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:21,400 last month.

However, the 94 00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:19,319 other parts of it we could enforce if we adopt an ordinance as the size 95 00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:19,319 and the height and so on and so forth 96 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:28,080 would be where we could take some hopefully correct that. I don't know 97 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,560 that it would fix it, but it would be a step in the right direction. 98 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:36,320 » Okay. Well, we need to do a little bit of 99 00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:40,880 further research on what the right avenue here is in regards to those. 100 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:45,200 » Uh >> I don't think it's working either.

Has to take a toll. 118 00:10:03,839 --> 00:10:12,680 It's the reason they're coming through this town is because the 119 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,680 the river bridge will not support 120 00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:20,000 » and with the number of axles all of the weight gets on the river bridge at one 121 00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:23,360 time or mostly or a large percentage of its [clears throat] rating. 122 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:27,120 » Yeah.

That would be the only places that this would 362 00:30:00,159 --> 00:30:04,080 apply to. It wouldn't apply anywhere else. 363 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,159 » Like it wouldn't apply to the Mexican restaurant even though they have a bar 364 00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:12,399 in there too. It wouldn't apply there because it there's primarily food 365 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:17,679 service and I think there's some it calls that out somewhere in the 366 00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:22,520 Tennessee code about how much uh revenue is derived from food sales. 367 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:33,039 I can't I can't make a motion to approve and then vote. No, 368 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:39,360 » I'm I'm against it.

I I truly and I'm uh I'm sympathetic to that, but [snorts] 377 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:33,960 I'm also sympathetic to people's freedoms. 378 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,039 Freedom to choose. 379 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:45,559 Choose not to go there and choose to fire up that lucky strike.

Because there's failed lack 382 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,200 of motion. >> Failed for lack of emotion. Failed for 383 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,679 lack of emotion. >> Trying to make you read all those 384 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:09,000 definitions then. >> It's okay. 385 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:18,880 » Okay. 616.

Now therefore, be it resolved that the mayor and city council 396 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:09,679 of the city of Rockytop do hereby approve an agreement with AMS for 397 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:14,240 collection services. Mr. Ellis, do you want to expound on 398 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:20,480 just what we talked about at the last meeting? The 35% is on top of the 100% 399 00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:24,880 that we would get >> in addition to the 400 00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:27,440 » in addition. Yes. And they take the 35% away from 401 00:33:26,799 --> 00:33:30,799 us. >> So if it goes to this bunch, we they'll 402 00:33:29,679 --> 00:33:33,760 tack on their >> Yes. 403 00:33:31,919 --> 00:33:41,039 » So if somebody owes us $10, they're going to pay them 404 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:45,120 the 35% on top of paying us 10 bucks. And there's couple municipalities at 405 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:50,240 least two around us, Kingston and Rockwood that are using this AMS 406 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:53,679 service. I don't know. Do they ever do anything like this? You were on the 407 00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:57,519 board talking about it before. That's why I knew something about 408 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,519 never did it. >> There's been nobody nobody want to take 409 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:05,440 the chance to be the first one to do it. It's it's real popular in big cities and 410 00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:10,000 big places, but no small t community want to take a chance of doing it. I 411 00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:13,919 guess people, you know. Yeah, >> we're struggling and I'm far. 412 00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:18,000 » Well, you think I guess I just saying that's what he was asking about. That's 413 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:21,520 what the main argument was because the size of community is the main argument. 414 00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:25,200 » The people who pay their bills are subsidizing the people who don't pay 415 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:28,720 their bills and I don't like that. >> Uh this is one of the avenues to 416 00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:32,720 correct. >> You are not collecting it on for for 417 00:34:31,788 --> 00:34:36,960 [clears throat] tax. 418 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:42,879 » Property tax is a different deal. Correct. Well, it says delinquent 419 00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:46,960 » uh delinquent court and utility accounts is all it calls out. 420 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:50,399 » Okay. So, property taxes is different. >> Yeah, I think we have to go through 421 00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:54,560 there's different hoops we have to jump through in regards to going after 422 00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:57,760 property taxes. >> I think they just don't offer the 423 00:34:55,919 --> 00:35:00,480 property taxes yet, but he said that they were in the works of 424 00:34:59,359 --> 00:35:02,640 » Okay. They were trying to establish that. 425 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,720 » Oh, the company doesn't. I can understand why we weren't doing that cuz 426 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,920 I thought that was the whole thing we were trying to start on was trying to 427 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:11,079 get >> Is there a time frame for the contract? 428 00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:22,599 that I can't answer because I wasn't in on the meeting. Jessica was the gone 429 00:35:18,949 --> 00:35:22,599 [snorts] when he came 430 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:31,680 » and was the reason that we didn't we can't go is or after people is just 431 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:37,520 manpower or >> what do you mean economics? 432 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:44,400 » Okay. Just I mean it's like we can't go after collections I guess. 433 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:46,960 Well, you mean for us to do this? >> Yes. 434 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:51,280 » Yeah. We You'd basically have to have somebody practically full-time. That's 435 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:55,920 their job. >> See, we the advantage to this deal is we 436 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,320 don't pay out anything. Don't cost us nothing. If they don't collect nothing, 437 00:35:57,119 --> 00:36:01,440 we don't get nothing. They don't cost nothing. But if we start hiring somebody 438 00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:04,160 or paying somebody for the city to do it, we got to pay that. Regardless if 439 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:08,480 they collect 10 cents, don't or collect a million dollars, we still got to pay 440 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:14,640 for it. I'm sure this outfit has lawyers on that work for them and they get the 441 00:36:12,079 --> 00:36:18,000 qu, you know, where we'd have to not only have somebody that we're paying to 442 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,599 do it and we're going to have to pay the attorneys. 443 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:28,160 » This is basically self-supporting. >> Yeah. And it I I [snorts] think there 444 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:32,800 should be we need to see what the the length of the contract is. 445 00:36:31,359 --> 00:36:35,680 » There's going to be a period to make sure [clears throat] we're all 446 00:36:33,839 --> 00:36:38,240 comfortable.
