1
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,320
like to welcome everybody out to the
September the 9th town council meeting.

2
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,000
This will be our public forum for agenda
items only. I'd like to call this

3
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:07,839
meeting in order. Everybody please stand
for the pledge of allegiance.

4
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:13,279
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the

5
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:19,040
republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and

6
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:22,080
justice for all.
>> Does any member of council have a

7
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:26,399
conflict of interest or appearance of a
conflict interest in regards to any item

8
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,920
on the agenda? If so, please state at
this time.

9
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,200
» I do not.
>> No, ma'am.

10
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,399
» No.
>> No, sir.

11
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,480
» No.
>> All right. Thank you. Public comments

12
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:38,640
now be open on any agenda items. Three
minutes. Please come on up. You please

13
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,600
state your name and address for the
council and we'll get through this.

14
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,600
Thank you'all so much for coming out
today.

15
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:53,680
John Corbett, 1313 Canal Drive, Sunset
Beach. Thank you all for holding this

16
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:59,519
meeting and it's good to see the new
town administrator here.

17
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:05,519
Um I'd like to comment on Majestic Oak
first. I'm very glad to see the town's

18
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:09,519
moving forward on Majestic Oak. Um even
though it's taken some time, I'd like to

19
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,519
remind you that uh the town saved a lot
of money by using it for two years for

20
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,800
lay down for the dredging. Also saved a
lot of money for the people living on

21
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,440
the waterfront.
Um I think the reduced scale is in line

22
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:26,560
with what the original plans were and so
that's a good idea. Um, I'd just like to

23
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:32,720
remind you to remember to address
bathroom facilities, portaotties or

24
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:36,480
something. Uh,
uh, think a policy of how to enforce

25
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,880
parking. A lot of people want to park
there, go to the beach. Uh, and remember

26
00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:47,440
that there's no motorized, at least from
the original time, no motorized boats or

27
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:52,560
vehicle vessels in that'll be there in
the park. Um, I think the landscaping

28
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:57,040
plan's a good one. It's a good start. We
can always move forward with that. And

29
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:03,360
remember, you can always add more
amenities in the future as need and

30
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:09,519
demand comes up there. So, that's good.
In some, I recommend approving the park

31
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:14,720
plan and move forward with that. A quick
comment on the roll back of the trash

32
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:19,839
cans. Um, I agree with the staff
recommendation of a of option two. Let

33
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,519
the property owners contract with the
vendors and the town work on policies

34
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:27,040
such as how you're going to enforce
those trash cans. Anyway, thank you very

35
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,399
much for the chance to speak.
>> Thank you.

36
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:37,640
» Thank you, Mr. Corbett.
>> Who's next?

37
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,640
Yes, ma'am. Come on up.

38
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,760
» Hi, I'm Lisa Kelly with Riptide Bent.
Okay.

39
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:50,160
» Uh this is my son, Trip. He's the owner.
Um, so good afternoon and thank you

40
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:54,720
council for the opportunity to speak.
Uh, I understand the town's concerns

41
00:11:52,320 --> 00:12:00,079
around that a municipal trash can cart
rollout system could create additional

42
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:04,880
work for staff. Um, Red Tide Bins can
provide this service without creating

43
00:12:02,079 --> 00:12:10,480
that burden to the town. We're prepared
to create a dedicated Sunset Beach web

44
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:15,279
page, phone line, and communication
system so that residents can contact us

45
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:20,480
directly for scheduling, questions, and
service needs. The town would not have

46
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:24,880
to manage the day-to-day.
Red Tide Bins is already a verified town

47
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:29,440
vendor, as you know. We carry the
appropriate insurance credentials, and

48
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:33,120
we understand the professionalism and
accountability required to serve this

49
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,920
community.
The proposal is about more than moving

50
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:43,440
the trash carts. It's about appearance,
safety, accessibility, and the quality

51
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,720
of life here at Sunset Beach. Some of
our elderly residents and people with

52
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,560
disabilities struggle to move their
carts. Some homeowners and renters are

53
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:55,680
unable to bring them back from the
street. Carts are left outside and can

54
00:12:53,040 --> 00:13:00,720
create that unattractive appearance,
block access, and sometimes signal that

55
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:04,800
property is unoccupied. So Sunset Beach
needs a solution.

56
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:09,680
Sunset Beach is beautiful island
community and streets and neighborhoods

57
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:14,399
should reflect that. And while Trip is
only 16,

58
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,920
he does not define his age does not
define his experience or commitment.

59
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:22,880
Riptai Bins has already cleaned
thousands of bins and served homeowners,

60
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:28,160
property managers, HOAs, and local
businesses. He has built this company

61
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:33,839
around one principle. community is
first.

62
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:38,800
So he is asking you to select option one
and for the opportunity to solve a real

63
00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:43,920
local problem, serve the community he
lives in and prove that a local

64
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:48,160
entrepreneur can deliver reliable and
professional services.

65
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:53,519
We also understand that serving Sunset
Beach requires organization capacity.

66
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:58,320
So, we're willing to expand its support,
including a dedicated storefront,

67
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:03,120
receptionists to help manage calls,
scheduling, and customer service. We're

68
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:07,440
not asking a town to create more work.
We're asking the town to let us create

69
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,880
the solution. This is a win for
everyone.

70
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:16,079
Residents receive reliable rollout
service, both return um and takeout,

71
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:20,480
from our company that's been verified
and qualified to do the job. especially

72
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:25,760
for our elderly residents who ensure
that they're hiring someone qualified

73
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:29,760
and a safe vendor for them. Our streets
will look cleaner, the homeowners have

74
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,440
one less responsibility, and the town
will have one less problem to manage

75
00:14:31,839 --> 00:14:37,600
overall.
Sunset Beach deserves a service that's

76
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:41,760
local, professional, reliable, and
accountable. And Riptide Bins is ready

77
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:46,399
to provide it. So, thank you for your
consideration and the opportunity to

78
00:14:44,079 --> 00:14:48,079
serve the town of Sunset Beach. Thank
you.

79
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:52,720
» Thank you.
There you go, honey.

80
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:54,720
And if so, he would like to pass out
flyers for you.

81
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,800
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

82
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:03,720
» Thank you, church.
>> Thank you, sir.

83
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,720
» Thank you.

84
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:10,120
All right. Who'd like to be next? Yes,
ma'am. Come on.

85
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:26,240
Chris Bowman, 41740th Street. I'm here
part-time, so I would likely be a person

86
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:32,560
that could benefit from the roll- cart
service. But I believe I support the

87
00:15:30,079 --> 00:15:36,560
staff recommendation, get government out
of it, and let individual property

88
00:15:35,199 --> 00:15:41,199
owners, however they want to do it,
contract with who they want to contract

89
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:45,680
with. Um, the other thing I want to say,
uh, regarding the agenda items and some

90
00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:50,160
of the reports that I've seen, I want to
give a shout out to the police

91
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:55,040
department for keeping our community
safe and very familyfriendly and

92
00:15:53,199 --> 00:15:57,040
oriented. Thank you.
>> Thank you.

93
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:03,920
» Thank you.
>> Who's next? Yes, ma'am. Come on.

94
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:07,120
» You you next in my book. Come on.
Jump up there.

95
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,800
» Thank you to all for the service and the
things you do for the town of Sunset.

96
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:12,880
I'm happy to be a resident here. I live
on Fourth Street.

97
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,240
» Okay.
>> 4134 Street. I know.

98
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:20,639
» Will you say your name for them? So they
>> Christie, I know um one of your friends

99
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:24,399
and Katie, I know one of your friends.
And William, I know you're from Apex,

100
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,720
North Carolina. Your daughter's friends
with my daughter Colleen.

101
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,759
» Oh, really?
>> And yes, it's a small world we live in.

102
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,040
Wow.
>> What was your name again?

103
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,920
» Oh, I'm sorry. Teresa Dolan.
>> And Shannon, I just knew you from

104
00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:40,880
Facebook watching you boogie at the
concerts. But anyhow,

105
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:44,320
» I saw this on Facebook and that's why
I'm here. And I just want to say to this

106
00:16:42,959 --> 00:16:49,759
young gentleman, Todd,
>> I I just think that you're wonderful. I

107
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:56,560
think that um I hope that they go with
your recommendation and I hope you you

108
00:16:53,040 --> 00:17:01,920
know, I think it has to be
some kind of criteria there from the

109
00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:06,079
town. And I think it's a great service
cuz I know I'm getting older and I know

110
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:10,799
we have a lot of older residents in the
town of Sunset. And you know, I try to

111
00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:13,679
help my neighbors out, but I'm not
always here. I'm half the year in

112
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:17,679
Florida. Sorry, winters are too cold
here. I go to Florida, but I'm still a

113
00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:22,240
resident of Sunset. My license says
Sunset. And I just think it would be a

114
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:26,720
great service. And I think somebody like
Todd who's an entrepreneur that we need

115
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:34,799
to,
you know, help and support our local

116
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:37,919
youth in these businesses. And so that's
what I'm about. And uh thank you for

117
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:44,440
your time.
>> Thank you. Thank you.

118
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:44,440
» All right. Next.

119
00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:48,520
» Anyone else?

120
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Last call. Come on. Yeah. Yes, sir.
About that,

121
00:17:53,840 --> 00:18:00,320
» Majestic Oaks Park. I think it's a great
idea. Uh I think this council is doing a

122
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:05,840
pretty good job moving forward. One
concern for us is we're right bordering

123
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:10,559
it and the tree plan is a tree that
releases berries and we don't want those

124
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:15,280
getting in our pool. So, we'd really
like those recessed away from the the

125
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:20,000
property line. Uh probably shorter trees
would be good. they wouldn't get in the

126
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:28,240
way of the view of the homeowners that
are right there along the park. Um,

127
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:32,160
bathrooms, uh, one concern would be badl
looking bathrooms visible to our houses.

128
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:36,880
So, we we got to take that into
consideration. Uh, I think the basic

129
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:41,039
plan that was originally planned was a
good idea. We don't need to put in a

130
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:45,919
whole electrical system and plumbing
system in there. It's got to be simple

131
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:52,799
and and very cost effective. So if it is
portaotties, it should be well hidden

132
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:56,720
out of the view of homeowners. Um but
beyond that, I'm really supportive of

133
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:00,880
the Majestic Silk Park. I think it was a
great uh plan that the township had. So

134
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,000
thanks.
>> Thank you, sir.

135
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:07,480
» Thank you.
>> Anyone else?

136
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:13,120
» Last call.
All right, that should be it. Just want

137
00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:17,840
to invite everybody out. We got a
concert tonight. This is a makeup date.

138
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:21,679
We got another one next week.
Couple of weeks up, we've got sunset on

139
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,320
sunset will be here. Got entertainment
for that. Should be a great day.

140
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:28,160
Hopefully the weather be as great as
we've had so far for the concerts. And

141
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:32,000
then the next week, the pushup for
Parkson's is having a thing. This

142
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:36,000
Sunday, they're having another activity.
This another chance for our town to come

143
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:38,960
together and fellowship over here in Sea
Trails. They're doing some kind of

144
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,080
fundraiser for something. It's going to
be a lot of fun. It's going to be a dunk

145
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:46,080
tape. So, few of y'all's going to be in
it. So going to have a good time. But

146
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,600
but thank you all for coming out today.
Glad you got to meet our new leader. I

147
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,559
think we're going to be well blessed. I
think he's going to do a great job for

148
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,760
this town leading forward. But again,
thank you all for coming out. Do I have

149
00:19:53,919 --> 00:19:57,840
a motion to adjourn this meeting?
>> Motion to adjourn this meeting.

150
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,520
» Do I have a second?
>> Second.

151
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,600
» All in favor?
>> I.

152
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,880
» Thank you.
>> Y'all have a great hand.
