they they have money now they can start
releasing money and we have to see some

37
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,880

00:04:21,799 --> 00:04:28,600
we got to wait till the check clears and
submit the invoice and the cancel check

39
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:33,680
but that's going to be loaded tomorrow
along with our equipment charges and

40
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:37,479
expenses being curred already one of the
um things I want to share on Harmon

41
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,880
field a lot of people are saying why is
it taking so

42
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:48,360
long um as you know we have a lot of mud
and debris out there female wanted to s

43
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:54,960
be sample we have gotten that done it
came back okay they also um the contract

44
00:04:52,880 --> 00:05:01,639
we had selected last board
meeting done project and so they're

45
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,639
going to be starting in I guess mid

46
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:11,919
no first that's good okay we get the mud
out of there and so forth we also deal

47
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:18,039
with Poke County Poke County has now
came out last week they want us to get

48
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:23,840
an appraisal of the cabin the two
restrooms and the concession stand Poss

49
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:30,680
the open air gym that any repairs
improvements we do to any those assets

50
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:35,039
if exceed 50% of that cost and requireed
to tear it

51
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:41,080
down because the cabin is located in the
immediate flood area but I also look at

52
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,720
if a negative happens it's also an
opportunity one thing female wants to

53
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:48,600
work for this on that if we can't
replace the

54
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:53,120
boardwalk they asked me to get a cost of
the boardwalk which is

55
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:57,759
162,000 about $100,000 higher than it
was 20 years ago when I was here that

56
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:05,840
money can be transferred elsewhere into
the park so one of the areas that Brad

57
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:10,080
and I are looking thday at um is at the
empty Library building up there this may

58
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:14,680
be an opportunity to get that building
restored I think that would be a great

59
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:20,479
Community Center for the town in har
field but um like said him will be here

60
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:24,720
tomorrow we a lot of cost loaded um it
is a slow process I originally

61
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:30,520
anticipated be open up the park by March
1st that dat's not going to be met but

62
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:36,919
grad of Staff done a great great job to
open a portion on field and so that's

63
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:41,160
that's all plus but we like to get the
rest of the park open as soon as we can

64
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,639
then once the mud's out of there we'll
get an assessment of the playground

65
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:52,360
we'll have it inspected to make sure
it's safe and didn't get anything underl

66
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:55,800
but on the cabin uh the county has asked
us to retain the structural engineer

67
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:01,400
which should be out here next week to
see if the foundation of the cabin was

68
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:06,919
under this so that's kind of my brief
update for this month I'll keep it on

69
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:12,560
the agenda each month you stand any
questions on the equestrian part of the

70
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:17,240
park those are the Stalls they damaged
did damage IAD give an update on the

71
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:24,840
equestrian damage yes so the first two
barns near har Road the first Barn is

72
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:29,840
very minor damage mostly debris but the
secondy barn was hit pretty pretty hard

73
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:34,000
with debris no structural damage that we
can find but a lot of debr damage so a

74
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:39,599
lot of those horse dos have been under
we're to have those repacked with

75
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:44,879
screenings and then remat it the two
barns on the river side beside the cabin

76
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:51,159
there's about three four foot mud in
some of those stalls and there is some

77
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:56,879
Str one thing about the equestrian the
equest community Del jum Association F

78
00:07:54,319 --> 00:08:02,680
riding Hunt Club they already expressed
interest they may want to up raise money

79
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:07,680
and volunteer time to get the question
Park up and running sooner so that may

80
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:13,280
be opening up ahead of the other
facilities have we lost any events

81
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:18,639
because yes we have cancellation har
field board canel all the events C and

82
00:08:16,599 --> 00:08:25,479
and so forth until we can but the
question folks you want to get that part

83
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:25,479
opened up sooner which I think they'll

84
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:36,120
feel I want to say this for the record I
get people that start me I get emails I

85
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:39,880
get text why can't we use har field why
can't we use har field why can't we use

86
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:44,480
Harmon field and I guess I'm I'm
preaching to the choir does it not occur

87
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,320
to you that if I could open Harmon field
I

88
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:52,959
would I mean Common Sense would dictate
that the first day somebody got mad and

89
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:57,680
I asked the question do you know where
the River Bank Washed Out close to the

90
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:02,040
river no and I said we don't either do
you know where all that wood that broke

91
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:05,120
off with 20 penny nails in under the
sand do you know where that is no we

92
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,480
don't
either do you know whether there's any

93
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:15,079
poison or anything like that in that
sand at the time we didn't know either

94
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:20,120
that's why we closed it for your safety
so if you're watching please be

95
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:26,640
patient how much money have we already
spent out there to the town board is

96
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:33,279
already authorized up to $300,000 of
general fund money to go to Feld and the

97
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:37,240
day I went out was so bad I said half a
million is what it's going to cost and I

98
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:42,959
still think I'm
right my goal is to when F money starts

99
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:48,360
coming into the confer we created a
separate fund to restore har field it's

100
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:52,399
not out of har Bill bu it's separate
fund so as the money comes back we'll

101
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:57,560
reinvest it into the next phase of
destroying buildings and so forth U

102
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:02,320
because I I really don't I can't really
recommend the town going

103
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:07,959
further in the fund balance beyond the
$300,000 without shepardizing our

104
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:13,200
finances
yes are we able to get any grant money

105
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:18,720
from uh North Carolina Department of
Agriculture I know in the 2024 farm bill

106
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:24,320
they put in
equestrian so would we be able to get in

107
00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:30,000
grant money I'm not sure I guess you
look at

108
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:35,519
that no we can definitely look at what
culture yeah in their 2024 farm bill

109
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:41,120
they they put equestrian um more
training facilities included in

110
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,360
Department anybody know anything we
please tell

111
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:58,760
us thank
you but I think once the cash starts

112
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:03,600
coming in I'll I'll send emails out to
the council keep informed our first

113
00:11:01,079 --> 00:11:08,720
money but I think it's promising I think
there's direction from federal

114
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,720
government to start helping out nor

115
00:11:08,839 --> 00:11:16,600
car you have any feel for when FEMA does
release funds how long it's going to

116
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:22,920
take us to
rec well

117
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:27,880
I question because initially the very
first Mee they said it' be very prent

118
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:33,600
then the next meeting we met with them
they said it might take two years

119
00:11:30,959 --> 00:11:38,480
and then then I met with them recently
and they said

120
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:44,480
it's um it's going to be quicker now
part of the money was in the reoccurring

121
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:51,040
resolution passed by Congress few weeks
ago fre up some money so I I keep asking

122
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:56,519
Susan let me know
when the Ser Pro we have one invoice we

123
00:11:53,959 --> 00:12:00,760
submitted just for for
$78,000 with the canceled check on once

124
00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:05,079
that money comes in it'll give us
indication things are starting to work

125
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:10,680
now and I said when the reimbursements
come in it's going to stay in that fund

126
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:16,959
we did receive a check for 31,000 from
our insurance company for wind

127
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:24,760
damage F will take that off the top but
um we got $170,000 just a SP the M Clean

128
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:30,519
Up which to Bill out part of the
$300,000 you've already in for

129
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:36,320
us when the money comes in the first one
of the El I know that things are now

130
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:42,639
working and I feel more
confident one of the other things that

131
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:49,040
drives you crazy is that we work on a
budget from 1 January to 31 December the

132
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:54,320
state works from 1 July to 32 the Fed
works from 1

133
00:12:50,639 --> 00:13:00,519
October until 30 September so if they
appropriate Congress right now is it

134
00:12:56,839 --> 00:13:05,639
going to come in 2425 year the 25 26
year because we were give them a grant

135
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:12,959
that's being worked at at brav and we
would told you got a grant but it was

136
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:17,320
for the next cycle any tell us that so
there's some kind of hat tricks for some

137
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:22,760
of those people sometimes you're going
to get it but have to be patient item

138
00:13:19,839 --> 00:13:25,279
seven Road Clos for Super Saturday March

one of the roads paved by the state and

148
00:14:11,959 --> 00:14:18,720
technically it's in our town but the
state owns it and paves it yes she had

motion

160
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:30,680
inse thank you welcome board sir thank
you

161
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:34,639
sir item nine
the town board approved recommendations

162
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:39,079
to establish additional committees that
we done away with over the years I think

163
00:15:37,319 --> 00:15:45,199
the Public Works utilities committee and
finance committee Dior are going to be

164
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:52,000
two committees that offer great Insight
recommendations to the town board

165
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:57,319
and mayor I think years ago we had
citizens on the Public Works committee

166
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:02,000
we and so I just want to get feedback
from the council members

167
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:07,360
um I guess the two minut I want to hear
feedback on is the Public Works

168
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:13,399
committee um you think citizens would be
helpful to a your committee as well as a

169
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:18,480
finance HR committee so I guess skip
your chairman of the yeah I've reached

170
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:23,440
out to several citizens already with the
would you be interested in and I've had

171
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:28,480
some really good feedback people want to
know what's going on in the town want to

172
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:32,920
offer Insight from a citizen standpoint
so

173
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:39,240
and I reached out to several residents
in the east side Dr Fox and Dr Carson

174
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:44,800
are going to recommend some names for me
and I've got one commitment from Dave

175
00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:53,399
Lan some of you might
know really sharp guy so a little crazy

176
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:53,399
but really sharp and he said he Lov it

177
00:16:53,880 --> 00:17:04,640
[Music]
so so on the finance committee

178
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:10,240
your so not reached out to anyone but I
think that

179
00:17:06,199 --> 00:17:15,919
it's I think we need CI it helps bring
um confidence in the absolutely in the

180
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:22,799
town if you get others looking at the
finances and so forth so I'm I I'm

181
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:29,320
supportive of it I'm very supportive of
it so I think uh I think we should do

182
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:37,240
that we just need to figure out how many
and then go and sort of look at who

183
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:41,840
would be interested in
doing I'd like to add when you were here

184
00:17:39,919 --> 00:17:47,039
before you came up with an idea of
having a dinner with all committees and

185
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:51,360
volunteers of town to honor them we did
we bought food everybody got together

186
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:55,960
and they talked and you had me stand up
I think I spoke 35 seconds or something

187
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,559
like that and come to hear me and we
want to hear what they had to say and I

188
00:17:57,919 --> 00:18:04,880
would like to at Le consider being
stating that next year about this time

189
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,200
assuming we can go to our place and cook
out

190
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:13,000
there if I remember correctly I cook the
stakes I think I cook the stakes when we

191
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:18,280
everybody a small steak well I guess we
could nominate people Steve to

192
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:30,400
be well I'm saying I guess probably at
least two citizens would be appropriate

193
00:18:27,559 --> 00:18:36,880
I think we can always add later but I
think um I guess I may a motion on a

194
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:43,280
council standpoint that you'd like to
have up to two citizens be added to the

195
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:48,320
public works and the finance committees
I would I would say three that odd

196
00:18:46,159 --> 00:18:53,200
number alwayss well you're on the
committee too I know but that's one two

197
00:18:51,880 --> 00:19:00,480
three
four third would

198
00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:06,280
be oh but non voting typically or would
they be non voting the alternate I think

199
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:11,360
the I only recommend alternate because
in the

200
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:15,679
past it's been difficult to get council
members to attend some of the functions

201
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:22,480
in Bard where I work before we had two
members from the council attend all the

202
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:27,480
committee meetings um here maybe do a
compromise an alternate but I encourage

203
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:31,360
the alternate to attend that up to speed
on what's going on as well

204
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:39,240
so maybe up to three citizens per
committee I would say that okay and one

205
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:41,559
and one counil whether primary Al only
one

206
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:48,960
voting okay one of the things I thought
because last week you'd asked I come to

207
00:19:47,799 --> 00:19:55,440
the parts
committee time conflict well I had

208
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:59,840
planned to but we had practice at school
and I had a child didn't have a ride and

209
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:07,960
I just I couldn't walk by the time I got
here was done but no I agree second

210
00:20:03,919 --> 00:20:07,960
three need a motion

211
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,400
motion

212
00:20:20,679 --> 00:20:23,679

213
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:31,039
upate which one of you going do this
tonight I'm going to do it today try on

214
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,880

Station over at 112 North Trade Street
thank you for attending um we hosted in

219
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,840
conjunction with the Carolina Foothills
Chamber Something That We're trying to

220
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,600
do is work a little more cohesively with
the chamber so that we can bring the

221
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:03,280
biggest benefit to all of our business
business down here um thank you to skip

222
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:07,280
Tracy and Julie for assisting us with
their uh tdda will be hosting a grand

reopening for the nest they're
remarketing their business um and

224
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:16,000
switching over from an artisan Market to
a corner market um Tim and I got a

225
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:22,080
little sneak peek and so we were able
they she's trying to do a lot of local

226
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:25,279
um cooking condiments oils teas spices
it's going to be really cool once it's

227
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:30,279
done she'll still have some Artisan
things in the back um and her her plan

228
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,720
in a couple of months is hopefully to
have a cooler with local meats and

229
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:38,600
cheeses she's been talking to Looking
Glass and so I think that'll be a good

230
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,039
asset for us to have here in town um and
then uh tra uh TDA is requesting a

right seemingly a little bit nicer but

241
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:42,039
still chilly but people didn't care and
we were bombarded last year um and then

242
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:47,120
off of the tdda side and more onto the
town side I handed each of you an

243
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:50,600
application uh for permission to use the
logo uh in an effort to try to

244
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:56,919
streamline these things and I have
people ask for permission to use the

245
00:22:52,320 --> 00:23:03,200
moris image um a citizen has requested
usage of that logo she's said over at

246
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:06,039
the trian antique shop um and in the
logo act that we found we had to ask

247
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,360
permission from Council in order to
approve

248
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:16,360
that yeah I mean I buy her stickers all
the time

249
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:20,799
sorry Keeper in business I have the
original so after the meeting I can have

250
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:27,960
one of you sign it if it's okay with
you is loo copyrighted or trademark kind

251
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:30,440
of bar it is by the time yeah it's non
enfor

252
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:43,080
state had it and we got it back from the
state but if you go online you will find

253
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:47,799
that toy horse that backs all the way up
to like

254
00:23:44,679 --> 00:23:51,480
1650 in Germany and all over the world
people been making the toy wood the

255
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:58,440
looks just
like they one spot here

256
00:23:55,799 --> 00:24:03,120
there that's what we did to get it
originally in

257
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:07,559
1885 we B it from somebody yeah because
it first came out in 28 had green wheels

258
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:15,679
on
it and people will tell you that it had

259
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:20,720
never had been copyrighted before to the
1980s when that lady said she got up to

260
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:27,159
the state I have a set of glasses
cerated in 1979 that's moris I may have

261
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:32,480
the on left but moris was copyrighted in
1979

262
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:38,919
there was a barware and jewelry
copyright but that was all it was

263
00:24:35,399 --> 00:24:43,440
not Pap I think the copyright when I
looked at it it's it's the likeness

264
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:50,600
right it it's very specific about what
it is do you know off hand

265
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:56,559
or okay yeah are we charging for this or
we just that would be up to

266
00:24:53,399 --> 00:25:01,520
you we charge a nominal fee and that
money go back to tvba or something

267
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:05,600
spend yeah I mean there's no fee
attached to to the current application

268
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:10,679
as it is but I also know that this is
sort of a new process

269
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:14,600
so it would be completely up to yeah
this is the first time we've been asked

270
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,600
I

271
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:25,679
know I like that idea maybe not for the
likeness but for every unit they sell is

272
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:31,039
italty yes is is it royalty based on
sold and they simply report self report

273
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:36,480
every year you know yeah I don't have a
problem either way with that but if we

274
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:41,440
own it we should capitalize that's
right because any money we get obviously

275
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:47,520
goes back to this
T okay you can say okay we're going to

276
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:53,279
do this and it'll be a flower fund or
it'll be a parade fund whatever you

277
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:55,720
choose so do you all want to set in a
mount

278
00:25:56,159 --> 00:26:05,080
or I would make it a FL $50 or $25
annual fee or lifetime fee for 100 I

279
00:26:04,159 --> 00:26:11,399
don't
know I did I

280
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:15,120
me I look at it that Morris has been out
there in the world for everybody to use

281
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:19,679
for as long as I've been
around enforcing it is going to be

282
00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:27,159
almost
impossible um so keep it simple you know

283
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:31,679
she filled out the app charge her 25
bucks say thank you

284
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:36,399
next that the next question is going to
be because you got plas you got glass

285
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:41,600
you got cloth you
got is that for anything you want to do

286
00:26:38,919 --> 00:26:44,960
and one of the reasons I like this is
because you don't have 15 people doing

287
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:49,360
the same thing and then there five other
things that nobody

288
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:54,640
does it can be registered as a design
Mark opposed to a use Mark as a

289
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:58,279
representative kind of try and appliable
across the board across different

290
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:04,360
trademarks for whatever you don't have
have to lay it out in the actual

291
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:11,480
trademark application form um I have I
have several trademarks and I I have one

292
00:27:08,399 --> 00:27:11,480
two I

293
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:21,840
think with him see what he has make a
recommendation I don't have a problem if

294
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:28,200
if Jim do that when yall deci side on
yeah okay we can bring it to Jim okay

295

get I guess one thing too we'll build
say more later on but um I sort of like

309
00:28:54,760 --> 00:29:01,480
when you when I came here the first time
you were up at the front window cashier

310
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:07,679
and became town clerk when I was here to
Manch the first time now leaving me when

311
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,679
the other end

312
00:29:07,919 --> 00:29:15,679
of I learn this there's a new grand girl
grand lady no competition we

313
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:24,600
lose for the employees in the town board
but the community stop by and thank

314
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:33,159
Susan for her years of service here
thank you okay item 12 minimum

315
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:39,559
um 160 Cleveland Road um I have the
hearing Set for February 17th um s you

316
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:45,120
know report or the
the I can't think the order out um for

317
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:50,640
the owner that he gets his opportunity
to come in and explain how he could

318
00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:56,120
possibly rehab the house for more less
than half of what it's worth but might

319
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:00,240
prove difficult um so that's all I got
on that

320
00:29:59,159 --> 00:30:05,120
13
[Music]

321
00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:11,919
you couple things we recently held our
first L gr committee meeting um this is

322
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:16,840
a citizen group The Town board to start
doing the brainstorming of what we need

323
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:21,600
to do to get ready for the C great Trail
when it comes in and so we had our first

324
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:25,240
meeting and we gave an assignment out to
the committee memb to come back with

325
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:31,720
many items they can think we should be
addressing like public rest B racks

326
00:30:28,679 --> 00:30:36,919
whatever um then I just want to update
to as you know the town board is part of

327
00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:44,200
the lawsuit that you may have read in
the paper or saw on local television

328
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:48,799
stations um I got interviewed by WSPA
Channel 7

329
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:53,880
recently uh why is the town involved as
you know I came to the town and

330
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:58,840
recommend to get involved because you're
suing the federal government yes but

331
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:03,960
it's the Federal govern has got a
program that they will compensate the

332
00:31:02,039 --> 00:31:09,120
property owners along the
trail based on appraisals and so the law

333
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:14,200
firm that
retained um is doing all the appraisals

334
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:19,519
all the expense of that and the town
owns four Parcels with a tax value

335
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:24,840
amount of a million dollar I'm not sure
how much money we'll get back from that

336
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:31,039
but my thought is if it's 100,000
200,000 whatever that um my

337
00:31:28,159 --> 00:31:35,760
recommendation that we take that money
and reinvest it in these improvements

338
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:40,120
that we probably need for the trail but
we we can talk about it later on but

339
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:45,200
that's why you know we're party to it we
could choose not to be a party to it at

340
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:49,760
all but he wouldn't get any money so I
did share this with the um city of

341
00:31:48,159 --> 00:31:53,799
indland South Carolina I think they've
done the same thing they decided to join

342
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:57,320
in because they own a lot of acreage
along the track

343
00:31:58,159 --> 00:32:05,799
then the other thing is the audit report
was supposed to be here tonight and it's

344
00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:10,720
not the audit firm's problem they've
been waiting for our CPA firm to put the

345
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:15,760
financial statements together and
they've had some stamp illnesses and

346
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:21,360
they helped have done in a couple weeks
so my feedback want to get back from

347
00:32:17,639 --> 00:32:25,000
this group here is I recommend that
mayor that we call a special meeting

348
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:28,360
between now and the next meeting if it
comes back

349
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:32,559
sooner but I think that
especially with three new members in the

350
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:39,880
council we had a very good presentation
last year by the audit firm and it would

351
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:44,080
take about 45 minutes to an hour and I
think it would be well

352
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:48,080
worth the for that discussion this may
be prettiest one we've had in

353
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:58,159
years has
incl but is that I guess once I get the

354
00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:01,799
the statements recommended me I'll get a
you have

355
00:33:04,639 --> 00:33:10,440
Works May Tracy then Julie then bill
then

356
00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:24,679
skip I don't really have anything except

357
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:24,679

starting to to enforce the sidewalk
coordinat all righty and we were going

366
00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:23,919
to have a professional parking study
done is that done we have a survey that

367
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:27,480
we just recently got the survey they uh
constructed I will be sending I can send

that out to you next week for next
couple days I should say um we're going

00:34:29,839 --> 00:34:34,639
to
probably like we did with the

370
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,720
comprehensive plan I'll probably make a
website that says TR on parking

371
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,599
study.com and people can go online and
take it there just to try to get and

372
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:46,960
we'll we'll hand them out um I see what
the date range is we'll hand them out as

373
00:34:43,879 --> 00:34:52,079
best we can um are they doing a
[Music]

374
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:58,160
map it's just survey questions at this
point they are going to talk so the

375
00:34:55,119 --> 00:35:04,000
survey has not been done they had walked
and said you well we did initially um

376
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:09,440
they the Regional Commission came out we
had a bunch of people we walked around

377
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:13,119
kind of initial eyes on situation then
they're going to do the survey and then

378
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:19,079
the more it progresses they'll I'm sure
they'll have a map with opportunities

379
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:24,320
there it's still
going and thank you for all your years

380

committee that committee surprised me

384
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:50,960
because it's they have six members on
maybe seven now they're actually a

385
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:58,599
working committee they go out there in
the weekend and do work details and they

386

they work close I gave them Greg m
cell phone

387
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:10,920
number so there's there's a much
cooperation between the the city and the

388
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:15,760
parks committee and I try attend all
their meetings I can and so they were

389
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:24,480
they very appreciative of what the town
has been doing and but they do a lot of

390
00:36:19,319 --> 00:36:30,119
work Greenway is all a lot of Labor they
donated so it's a wonderful committee

391
00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:36,119
and great Miner's the new chairman John
Bonnie stepped down recently and then

392
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:40,119

near La thear

397
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:06,400
down to Woodland Park do we own a strip
of that land or is that just a sewer

398
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,400
line

399
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,040
