[4:06] time consuming get all that swapped out I came here I think there's I maybe post
[4:13] lights working and we got a bunch of bued gles so I have a couple of
[4:18] LED they are LED lights they're going to be square to match columns I think
[4:25] they're This Tall but they're just light but they'll light up the perimeter
[4:31] and they'll be more modernized to deal with the
[4:35] par we also got a couple things we need to fix over there some service poles

[5:20] plan all this money that will be us for

[6:31] have uh several food trucks and some new ice cream truck and a new coffee truck
[6:38] so y'all come out and try the coffee if anything need that last mon while
[6:48] cold ail
[7:20] let me I saw the for
[7:26] C who
[7:50] hopefully
[8:33] question
[9:24] this ordinance obviously it's not why we're
[9:29] discussing it tonight so if there's if there's changes that need to be made
[9:35] before we move it forward Tuesday next
[9:41] session I'm listening to some changes I know couple things were brought up but
[9:47] um that's that's up to yall to make those
[9:50] changes we wrote it as a as strictly there really are no exceptions just
[9:57] because there was you can open up a lot of avenues with
[10:01] doing this exception doing that exception so figured the easiest way to
[10:05] do it was just generalize it questions
[10:14] discuss only only issue I have I'm completely support not parking these
[10:20] things in the road for any amount of time but uh what it says part of the
[10:25] ordinance says all such vehicles and trailers reference be parked in a legal
[10:30] garage carport or on the pave driveway or Surface I have two utility trailers
[10:36] that are just parked in my side yard and I would I would like to see it changed
[10:41] or maybe make a motion next week if it stays the same to to amend it to where
[10:46] it reads that just be parked on someone's private property because I
[10:51] don't have a proper driveway or Surface to
[10:55] park them on so but like I said I am suppor at not being parked on the
[11:01] streets but I don't think we should you know if I want to park my front yard I
[11:07] guess I should be able that's and that's one thing I will say this was I talked
[11:12] with our attorney and this was you
[11:16] know put together for us some of this terminology generalized from probably
[11:22] larger like they don't allow you got have
[11:27] a aot really I've seen some that don't even
[11:32] have a what I would call proper driveway surf to
[11:36] start that's the only thing our question if we could address
[11:55] that question about this is just going to be
[11:59] in communities where there is lied access to park and
[12:06] driveways when there are events that are held um and there's not parking
[12:12] available for um your guest you're
[12:18] limited to park on conrete and the road and um I'm thinking for
[12:25] example um National Night Out when you have um you know extra family
[12:33] members um and so I'm thinking that there should be some type
[12:40] of in there that allows you to park you know period of time on the road not
[12:48] necessarily blocking the road you know in a manner where you can still access
[12:53] the
[12:56] road maybe not perod or things like that that
[13:11] time so I assume that would be kind of like 11 to 11 p.m. to 7 a. which
[13:19] basically kind of goes
[13:29] and if I
[13:41] can a
[13:45] l now that spring and summer is us again we're have a lot of landscaping Crews a
[13:50] lot ofe Crews and stuff like that that they most Road they're not par
[14:27] 11 just know the re why this ordinance is coming into play is because we've had
[14:33] continuous problems with
