[0:31]

[0:42]
» Amen.
>> Let's do the pledge of allegiance.
[0:45]
» I pledge
>> pledge of allegiance
[0:47]
» to the flag of the United States of
America and to the republic for which it
[0:52]
stands. One nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice
[0:58]
for all.
[1:02]
[clears throat]
[1:06]
» Call this meeting to order. [snorts]
First on the agenda,
[1:11]
Chief Franks. Little presentation,
please.
[1:14]
» Good evening, Mayor and Council. Um, I'd
like to call up Officer Jacob Grimes up
[1:18]
here. Um, as you all know, uh, we like
to recognize our police officers when
[1:23]
they, uh, do great things for our
community, and this is one of those.
[1:28]
Tonight, I'd like to recognize Officer
Grimes for a life-saving award. And I'm
[1:32]
going to read the memo. I think it,
although it's a little cumbersome, it it
[1:35]
it says everything. Uh, the Stallings
[clears throat] Police Department
[1:38]
believes in recognition of officers and
their actions and service to the
[1:42]
community. In keeping with this belief,
the Stallings Police Department
[1:44]
recognizes Officer Jacob Grimes for
measures taken to save a life that
[1:48]
occurred on December 13th, 2025.
[snorts] On that date, Grimes responded
[1:54]
to Atrium Hospital at 3 about 3:40 in
the morning regarding a dog bite. Upon
[1:59]
arrival, he found a victim who had been
bitten by a dog and subsequently had his
[2:02]
arm broken. Um, the victim related to
Grimes that his mother had also been
[2:06]
bitten, but he had left her at the
residence. Um, Officer Grimes made the
[2:11]
decision to go to the house to check on
this elderly woman. When he got there,
[2:14]
he found her uh or he heard an elderly
woman uh calling for help from inside
[2:19]
the garage. Um, Grimes made entry in the
garage and located an elderly female on
[2:24]
the floor who'd been bleeding heavily
and he realized that her foot had been
[2:27]
delved by the dog. Uh recognizing severe
blood loss and injury along with the
[2:32]
fact that the female victim is sitting
in the cold for unknown period of time
[2:35]
uh officer Grimes made the immediate
decision to transport her to the
[2:38]
hospital here in Stallings. Uh due to
her injuries, he picked her up and had
[2:42]
to carry her to his squad car as time
was of the essence and place her inside
[2:46]
the car. Upon arrival of the hospital,
the female victim was stabilized and
[2:50]
later transferred to Charlotte Hospital
for potential amputation of her foot. Uh
[2:55]
and she is still currently in the
hospital. Officer Grimes demonstrated
[2:59]
exceptional judgment, professionalism,
and dedication to the preservation of
[3:03]
life. Had it not been for the decisive
actions taken by Officer Grimes, the
[3:06]
victim would have succumbed to her
injuries due to the continued blood loss
[3:10]
and shock. His actions reflect the
highest standards of law enforcement
[3:13]
service and brings credit himself and
the Stallings Police Department. And his
[3:17]
actions such as this and his sense of
duty that helps continue to make our
[3:20]
community a safer place to work and
live. So, I ask everybody to uh
[3:24]
congratulate him for a job well done.
>> [applause]
[3:34]
[applause]
>> Officer Grimes will have a certificate
[3:37]
and the memorandum of his actions that
night and he will receive a life-saving
[3:41]
ribbon uh to put on his uniform. So,
Jacob, congratulations. Thank you.
[3:46]
» Absolutely.
[3:51]
» Stand up.
>> Come on over.
[3:55]
[clears throat]
He always looks so happy. [laughter]
[4:07]
» You're in it.
[4:12]
[clears throat]
>> Congrats.
[4:19]
Next up, we have public comments.
The only person that signed up is
[4:24]
Clarence Alselbrooks. Hello, Clarence.
>> Of course, that's going to be hard to
[4:30]
follow, but
all right. Um, good evening, mayor and
[4:35]
council. My name is Clarence Als Brooks,
Jr. I'm not a resident of Stalins, but I
[4:40]
uh come with a disclaimer. I'm a
resident of Indian Trail. My disclaimer
[4:44]
is that I am also a council member in
Indian Trail. So, my um my comments may
[4:50]
not necessarily reflect um or represent
the town of Indian Trail. My statements
[4:56]
and opinions are my own and um
[clears throat]
[5:00]
are my own. First, I'd like to
congratulate your new mayor of Stalins.
[5:04]
You are the right person for the job and
Stalins is blessed to have you.
[5:09]
Congratulations to Graham and Mayor Pro
Tim Richardson. Um Stalins is known for
[5:15]
its excellence with civility on this
board and I hope that you all work hard
[5:21]
to continue that. Um, I actually grew up
in Indian Trail back when Indian Trail
[5:25]
was only 2,000 citizens. Back then,
Stalins and Indian Trail were pretty
[5:29]
much one big community. As a matter of
fact, I still have a lot of family
[5:33]
members and friends here in Stalins.
With that said, I hope that Stalins and
[5:38]
Indian Trail can work together to make
the western part of Union County a
[5:42]
better place. Also, with that said,
tonight is my today is my wedding
[5:47]
anniversary, so I'm going to leave here
so I can take my wife out. So,
[5:51]
[laughter]
>> um, but with that, seriously, I, uh, you
[5:54]
know, I enjoy coming to your meetings,
know most of you, hopefully to get to
[5:59]
know the rest of you. You have a great
town attorney, um, along with everybody
[6:04]
else. So, um, I hope that we can work
together in the future. So,
[6:09]
» y'all,
thank you.
[6:11]
» All right, I want to introduce you to
our two newest members, Mike Cousins and
[6:16]
John Vandere.
>> Nice to meet you.
[6:18]
» Thanks for being here. Someone just
shake their hand.
[6:20]
» Sure.
>> Happy anniversary. [laughter]
[6:23]
» Happy anniversary.
[6:29]
[clears throat]
[6:32]
» These are Clarence was the only one that
signed up ahead of time, but if there's
[6:35]
anyone else that would like to speak,
this is public comments if you would
[6:39]
like to speak.
All right,
[6:44]
moving on to the consent agenda.
[6:50]
May I move approval of the consent
agenda A through D?
[6:54]
» I'll second.
[snorts]
[6:57]
All in favor?
>> I.
[7:00]
[clears throat]
>> Excellent. That passes.
[7:03]
Reports. Reports from the mayor.
[7:08]
Been a quiet month. My holidays kept
things kind of quiet, but um I did have
[7:15]
met with a number of constituents.
wanted to get together and talk about
[7:18]
individual projects and um I met the uh
president of sale ethics which is the
[7:24]
building up on Stallings Road that's
being built and they are excited to be
[7:28]
moving into Stallings under one roof.
They currently have about five or six uh
[7:34]
on a campus over in Matthews and they're
looking forward to having like I said
[7:38]
one one building. He's looking very much
forward to uh coming into Stallings and
[7:44]
hope to meet him here, bring him into a
council meeting and introduce him to the
[7:47]
rest of y'all. That's all for the mayor.
[7:52]
» Pam, anything?
>> No, sir.
[7:55]
» I've got two quick things. Um, one was
we had a great uh town holiday party
[8:00]
last week. So, uh, want to thank uh the
staff for putting that on. It was really
[8:03]
nice. Uh, the mayor uh allowed me to
call a round of bingo, which I
[8:07]
appreciated. Um although I'm nervous
speaking in front of crowds so it was a
[8:11]
little bit different for [laughter] me.
Um and second was uh John and I attended
[8:15]
a resident led meeting yesterday at the
Shannara HOA regarding the conditional
[8:19]
zoning um for Stevens Village at the
corner of Stevens Mill and Idle Wild. We
[8:24]
were there two and a half hours or so.
Um it was really well done. Jeannie
[8:28]
Lindsay, who's a resident of Shannara,
put that on and it was a great way to uh
[8:32]
share information for folks who were not
up to speed on everything that was going
[8:35]
on and uh for John and I to help answer
some questions and uh get some new
[8:39]
questions that we're going to find
answers to as well.
[8:43]
» John, he didn't leave much for you, but
>> No, I'll agree with
[8:48]
» um No, nothing.
>> Nope. No, thank you. Uh it's been a
[8:53]
quiet month. Nothing.
>> All right. All right.
[8:57]
Agenda approval.
Mayor,
[9:00]
» if you don't mind, I have I have several
things to report on.
[9:04]
» Uh so again, want to echo the sentiments
of Council Member Cousins. Thank you to
[9:08]
the council for your support and all the
all the staff that went there and
[9:11]
Ununice for you and your team's work on
that. Thank you. Um got the budget uh in
[9:16]
transfer list uh for y'all's
consideration. It's front of you. You
[9:20]
don't need to make any decision, but
it's more like a report. Um
[9:25]
secondly, the board last time expressed
an openness to doing a team building
[9:30]
exercise with our new board members, our
new board as a whole. Um just trying to
[9:35]
kind of grow and bond uh for the
betterment of the [clears throat] town.
[9:39]
Uh the board asked for a couple things.
One, didn't want it to go anywhere far
[9:43]
and wanted to keep the cost low. Uh if
if we could do it for free, that'd be
[9:49]
the preference. So, uh, with Chief
Franks's help, we're able to secure the,
[9:54]
uh, Matthews Police Department's police
simulator, training simulator, uh, think
[9:59]
like, uh, uh, if a virtual reality video
game grew up, got a job, and, uh, it's
[10:06]
very impressive, um, training process.
So, it'd be a good, I think, bonding
[10:11]
experience for y'all to go through that
together, and also learn about some of
[10:15]
the split decisions our police officers
have to make. So, um, is is anyone
[10:20]
opposed to that? How does that sound to
y'all? Open to it. Okay. If everybody's
[10:24]
good with that, then we'll send out some
dates and try to get something that
[10:28]
works for the most people. Uh, also, one
thing you'll notice is uh, one of the
[10:33]
initiatives we're trying to make here
internally is try really bring up the
[10:38]
appearances of our facilities both from
a cleanliness standpoint and an
[10:42]
appearances. We've had storm water
issues out back. You'll notice now
[10:45]
there's some enhanced landscaping
planning eventually. I would love to do
[10:48]
that out front to really set the tone
for our citizens and for our developers
[10:52]
of the expectations we have here at the
town. And also we've tried to expand our
[10:59]
um our contractor list of various
janitorial janitorial work. So we're
[11:04]
going to work on that and hopefully that
addresses and brings it up to the
[11:07]
standards that we would like. Um so that
concludes uh staff's report. Appreciate
[11:12]
your time. Any other staff,
[11:17]
[cough]
[clears throat]
[11:18]
» Alex? Any other staff?
>> Yes, sir.
[11:21]
» All right. Um, agenda approval.
>> I do have we received a request, mayor,
[11:27]
uh, from the developer regarding the Mil
Creek uh, regarding the the process and
[11:31]
wanting to do the presentation earlier
in the agenda. Um, the applicant is here
[11:36]
if you'd like to hear from them from
their request.
[11:40]
» They're first down here.
>> They're next. I believe they have a
[11:43]
request to to hear uh have the
presentation done uh prior to the
[11:49]
decision on annexation, but they're
here. I'll defer to them with their
[11:53]
request.
>> Well, I think our normal procedure is
[11:57]
the annexation always goes first,
>> followed by the presentation of the
[12:01]
project. And I don't think we need to
add that to our agenda this evening or a
[12:06]
change in our agenda this evening. Let's
proceed
[12:10]
as is.
[12:13]
I move that we approve the agenda as
noted.
[12:18]
» I'll second.
>> All in favor?
[12:22]
» I. [snorts]
>> All right. Next up, annexation 58 Mil
[12:29]
Creek.
>> Yes. Um, Mayor Shaw, um, this is an
[12:34]
annexation for a 12.571 acre parcel on
Highway 74. council will be most
[12:41]
familiar with it near the cookout and
Starbucks on Highway 74 in Indian Trail.
[12:46]
It's right on the edge of that. This is
the final step in annexation where you
[12:51]
will adopt the ordinance that extends
Stalling's boundaries. We just need to
[12:57]
open the public hearing, see if there's
anyone here to speak on that, close it,
[13:00]
and then council can speak on whether or
not you want to annex that parcel into
[13:04]
the town.
>> All righty. So, I'll open the public
[13:07]
hearing. Anybody that would like to
speak on this this annexation?
[13:17]
Well,
one more time. No. All right. I'll close
[13:22]
the public hearing and uh move to
council discussion. Lori, would you like
[13:27]
to lead us off?
>> Um,
[13:31]
yeah. I you know I [clears throat] was
thinking a lot about um what our our
[13:36]
role here is and
we should be working to benefit the town
[13:43]
to make the town better and I I don't
see how this annexation
[13:49]
fits into
um making it better. I I mean I'm
[13:55]
talking a little bit about the um site
plan also, but
[14:01]
you know what we're trying to do what
we're trying to achieve is have less um
[14:07]
residential and more commercial. And
when something like this comes along,
[14:14]
it it doesn't make any sense to me,
especially that it's on Route 74 that,
[14:19]
you know, is mainly commercial except
for, you know, a couple residents across
[14:25]
the street. Um,
so I I'm feeling that I'm feeling
[14:31]
negative about this project, about the
annexation
[14:36]
because it it's not going to benefit
anybody in the town or the town.
[14:40]
» Okay. [clears throat]
>> Itself,
[14:43]
» anybody else?
[14:47]
» Mayor, what's the
staff? What's the what's the requested
[14:53]
annexation and what's the surrounding
annexual
[14:57]
[clears throat]
[15:01]
74?
[15:05]
» So the requested is
>> the the request is just well first you
[15:10]
just
>> I'm sorry we're not talking zoning we're
[15:12]
just talking
>> yes sir we're just talking about
[15:14]
annexing the parcel into the town.
>> Now withdraw my question. Well, wait a
[15:17]
minute. I thought when we annex
something in, it does come in with a
[15:21]
zoning attached to it.
>> That's what we're they're asking to.
[15:35]
» Okay. But for that brief sliver of
moment as we move from four to five, it
[15:42]
gets some type of prezoning effectively.
[15:57]
Okay. Okay.
[16:07]
Any other comments?
I tend to lean toward um what Lori was
[16:13]
thinking as well is that um upon
introduction to the project, you know,
[16:18]
it's kind of like if you're walking down
the street and you find $20 on the
[16:20]
ground, you go, "Oh, this is great. We
didn't have this before. We have it
[16:23]
now." Um but thinking more about the
surrounding area, the difficulty of
[16:28]
getting in and out of there. Um and
the fact that as Lori said as well, it's
[16:35]
more residential than commercial. Um, so
it would be an easy thing to say yes to.
[16:40]
Um, I think without deep consideration,
but thinking about it more, I don't know
[16:44]
that it aligns with what we want to do.
>> I think that's I'll just say it real
[16:50]
quick. I mean, I think that's it is that
I mean, you kind of look at our
[16:54]
strategic goals and uh I think that's
ultimately the problem. We all know here
[17:00]
that we're currently out of sync when it
comes to a ratio between commercial,
[17:06]
industrial, and um residential. And with
the limited capacity of sewer on this
[17:15]
side of town, uh this this particular
project would eat up most of that
[17:19]
available sewer or and even the new
sewer allocation that potentially is
[17:24]
coming to us for the 74 corridor. And
I'm just not sure it it aligns best to
[17:30]
our goals to use that sewer capacity for
a project that of this nature.
[17:39]
» There again, we're talking use, not
annexation. That's the complicated
[17:42]
things. And I assume maybe that's why
the developer wanted to or the applicant
[17:46]
wanted to do the presentation.
[clears throat]
[17:48]
I guess the question would be is the
landowner here?
[17:52]
» Landowner is not here. So the question
would be to the landowner.
[17:57]
Oh, sorry.
>> I guess my my question was is the land
[18:00]
owner here and would the land owner like
to be annexed into the town of Stylings?
[18:05]
Um, and
[18:08]
» I can speak on behalf of land owner in
this capacity if I'm able to.
[18:13]
» Well, I guess the question is would you
like to be annexed into the town of
[18:16]
Stylings if um what seems like the Can I
address an audience? I'm not sure what
[18:22]
protocol is, but if the council looks
like we're proposed to say no to the uh
[18:28]
use, um [clears throat] would you like
to be annexed into the town?
[18:33]
» I think
they go together. That's why there's got
[18:39]
no
[18:43]
reason.
>> Okay,
[18:48]
then I'll [snorts] make the motion to
deny the annexation. Well, I did have a
[18:51]
comment. I
>> Yeah, I think that's it's pretty obvious
[18:53]
what's happening. So, go ahead.
>> Oh, I just wanted to say uh regard
[18:58]
without [clears throat]
getting into the use, I
[19:02]
my position is that I I recently drove
this I go over this area a lot for
[19:09]
trivia and that section of road is not
conducive to pulling out. I just my
[19:16]
concern is anything that we add in that
regardless of use. Uh anything that's
[19:22]
added there, it's going to create more
congestion. It's going to potentially
[19:26]
create accidents. And I don't see how
that adds value to our town when we've
[19:30]
annexed a lot of properties.
So my my position is I think I would be
[19:36]
against the annexation for that those
reasons regardless of whatever the use
[19:42]
it would be.
based on Brad's question to the land
[19:48]
owner to the representative the land
owner that if the board was not inclined
[19:53]
to approve the subsequent action on the
CZ that we would be doing a disservice
[19:57]
to the land owner
in annexation. So for that I would
[20:04]
that we do not
[20:07]
» All right. So there's Can I ask one
question?
[20:11]
» I don't know. Well,
>> I'm not you're not known for only asking
[20:14]
one question
>> that ask as many questions as you guys
[20:19]
want. that
is I mean and I might not
[20:25]
this may not be a good question so you
may need to shut me down but I mean I
[20:30]
know that there's been discussions about
this project now for several months and
[20:37]
there's been discussions in committee
and within the staff about the fact that
[20:42]
this project
probably was not very favorable. Um, and
[20:48]
I think there's even been some proposals
uh given back to the the team working on
[20:53]
this particular project about a
different layout, different components.
[20:58]
Was there is that still a consideration
or we pretty much exactly what the plan
[21:03]
is that's being submitted tonight?
[21:10]
» Yeah.
>> Yes.
[21:14]
Um Lisa Thompson, [clears throat]
um Wendy's consultant with Morgan Van
[21:17]
Allen. Um from what I understand, you
guys have 60 days to zone the property
[21:23]
after annexation. So that was one of the
questions is um what what zoning do we
[21:28]
put on it if it's annexed and not zoned?
Um no, if you're leaning towards not
[21:33]
approving the resoning, we would ask
that we not be annexed. Um we would like
[21:38]
to be given the opportunity to present
the the plan and and the development. Um
[21:43]
if you'll um postpone the decision for
the annexation to at least um hear the
[21:50]
um
the the presentation or vote favorably
[21:55]
and you you guys if you deny the
reasonzoning, it's my understanding that
[22:00]
this evening you can resend the vote for
annexation as well. So there's a few
[22:05]
options. Um, but if you don't even want
to hear it,
[22:10]
» this is highly out of our norm. We don't
[snorts] reverse the order. I can't
[22:16]
remember ever.
>> Do we ever re No, don't need to answer.
[22:20]
» I mean, if
>> So, we're going to vote for the
[22:22]
annexation.
>> Okay.
[22:24]
» And then if need be, we will vote on the
project.
[22:29]
» Hey, can I believe there's a motion on
the floor? Brad, did you make the motion
[22:33]
or did somebody interrupt you?
>> Yes. Assuming you close the public
[22:38]
hearing, then I had made the motion to
um not approve the res.
[22:43]
» Second,
>> excuse me, not approve the annexation.
[22:46]
Sorry.
>> Second.
[22:48]
» All right. How's council [clears throat]
vote on this?
[22:54]
» Call the
>> All in favor?
[22:55]
» I
>> I
[22:57]
» unanimous. No, I didn't hear all of
them. I'm I'm going to be a n on that
[23:02]
one because I I felt like there was more
questions that needed to be answered.
[23:11]
» All righty.
So, we're not annexing this parcel.
[23:16]
Um [clears throat]
there's no need to
[23:22]
uh Melanie, how do we deal with uh the
next item? Seven, six, four. I mean,
[23:27]
» if it I mean, if it's not in the town,
you can't zone it.
[23:30]
» Yeah. So, we're going to skip it or
withdraw it from the
[23:35]
» Yeah. suspend the
>> I'm I'm a little worried because right
[23:39]
when applications come in, we have a
decision has to be made within a certain
[23:43]
period of time.
[23:54]
So we would would we suspend the rules
and then remove it from the agenda?
[24:03]
» Should we make a motion?
>> I mean it' be easy. I make a
[24:10]
Yeah. Just take a second. Okay.
[24:19]
Melony, do do we need a motion to make
you most comfortable?
[24:24]
» I [clears throat] think you're better
off hearing from the applicant because
[24:28]
my concern is is right. They've paid the
application fee. They've done everything
[24:33]
we've asked them to do in terms of
submitting the application and a
[24:38]
decision is supposed to be issued in a
certain amount of time. So I understand
[24:42]
we can't do anything if it's not
annexed. But at the same time um
[24:48]
we have heard this presentation
at least once or twice already. They're
[24:55]
just putting less commercial in I guess
with this last one.
[25:06]
So there was a I wasn't here at the July
meeting. There was a public hearing in
[25:09]
the presentation. heard it
from X meeting
[25:16]
and then we deferred it against January.
>> So there's been a hearing on it. There
[25:20]
just is was not a vote on it.
>> Correct.
[25:23]
» And the annexation was what? Just not on
that agenda.
[25:28]
» Madam Attorney, I I feel pretty
confident that the applicant would
[25:32]
withdraw their
[25:38]
that feels like that would solve your
concern. Imagine
[25:41]
them not doing that.
[25:58]
We're confirming
[26:16]
Have you got a decision
[26:20]
» normally asked by somebody to pull
application for the reason?
[26:25]
I
>> only ask the question the way it should
[26:27]
be asked legally. Please
[26:36]
Oh yeah. Yeah. We can't
>> we don't have jury.
[26:40]
» While all of that is true, we still have
a process and procedure, right? When
[26:44]
developers submit applications and when
decisions should be made at a within a
[26:48]
certain period of time. So we've never
we've never had this decision. Normally
[26:54]
what happens is
if it does not pass then someone who
[27:00]
voted for the annexation makes a motion
to reconsider the vote before the end of
[27:04]
the meeting.
Um and that
[27:08]
» reconsider the annexation.
>> Correct. Okay.
[27:11]
» Correct. That's how I've seen that.
We've done that at least two or three
[27:14]
times in the past.
>> So you're saying let them present.
[27:20]
» I think that's the safer route.
>> Okay.
[27:23]
But but you but you already voted on the
annexation.
[27:26]
» We did.
>> And
[27:27]
» as we always do, we do it in sequence.
>> Okay.
[27:31]
» And so someone who voted
no,
[27:36]
» which would be me.
>> No, they they all voted no.
[27:40]
» Steve voted. Oh, I voted
>> yes. Okay.
[27:43]
» Would have to make a motion to
reconsider.
[27:45]
» Reconsider the annexation.
>> Correct.
[27:48]
» When? Now.
>> Right now. Yes.
[27:50]
» No.
Why would we do that? We just voted no.
[27:53]
» Because I just wanted it to be clean and
I don't want to leave the door open for
[27:57]
any
>> legal challenges based on the process
[28:02]
and the procedure and
>> how our rules are after the
[28:07]
presentation. You could re you could
reconsider the annexation.
[28:13]
» Why would we need a presentation? We
don't
[28:19]
» if I mean if you don't want to do the
presentation
[28:23]
» I just I wasn't here in July so that's
why I'm a little
[28:26]
» uneasy about the whole process and
what's happened. So was there because if
[28:32]
it was presented in July
y'all didn't vote on the annex there was
[28:37]
there an annexation on the agenda?
>> Yeah they were both
[28:42]
» it was deferred. It was deferred. But
was there a public hearing?
[29:00]
» Should we take a uh short recess to pull
up the agenda from July and see what it
[29:06]
is?
>> Yeah, that's that's what Miss Nichols is
[29:08]
looking up right now.
>> I'm trying to do the same. [snorts]
[29:11]
7:14
[29:27]
all they were just that
never did just we would
[29:41]
Okay. Um, according to the minutes from
the July meeting, the public hearing was
[29:46]
opened and then continued, but it does
not indicate that any presentation took
[29:52]
place
[29:55]
» August.
>> I know we
[29:58]
» that was July.
>> I know that they've given us a
[30:01]
presentation
[30:16]
um is the so [clears throat] the
procedure in which you're doing this
[30:22]
like it's an order issue.
[30:32]
Um,
>> you introduce yourself, please.
[30:35]
[clears throat]
>> Sure. My name is Kerent
[30:39]
town member as of July 31.
[30:45]
» Thank you.
[30:49]
question as far as
[30:57]
» our procedure is always to do the
annexation vote first and separate from
[31:02]
the project that might follow and that's
where we're at tonight and and basically
[31:07]
I can't imag I don't recall another one
that went differently so that's where
[31:12]
we're at.
>> Sure.
[31:15]
And welcome to Stallings. [laughter]
I've seen you a few times at our
[31:19]
meetings. Um, nice to know who you are.
>> Anybody can come, of course.
[31:24]
» And where at installings are you?
>> Uh, Stones right at
[31:33]
» right before the
>> Okay.
[31:39]
So,
[31:43]
» we are in a recess for
>> You need a vote on the recess or no? Or
[31:48]
you just call the rec?
>> I'm just calling a recess for a couple
[31:50]
minutes till we get this researched.
[32:36]
Do you want to make a motion to suspend
the rules to add a close session.
[32:41]
» To do what?
>> Add a close session.
[32:43]
» Uh, yes.
>> I make a motion.
[32:45]
» Is the mayor allowed to do that?
>> I'll do it.
[32:48]
» I'm new, so I'm like
>> I make a motion to suspend the rules
[32:53]
going into close
>> session under um NCJS143-318.11a.
[32:59]
It's either three or six. Three. Okay.
Three.
[33:03]
» Second.
>> All in favor?
[33:05]
» I I don't vote. All right, we'll be
back.
