1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,040
Order. At this time, we look to our city's manager to call for invocation in our place of allegiance. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. At this time, the invocation will be led by the Mayor Pro Temp, Commissioner Simmons, followed by the pleasure of allegiance. They'll stay first

2
00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:32,410
by our heads. My scripture is the steps of the good manner, order by the Lord. Father, we thank you for your gracious mercy and this opportunity, Lord, to stand in your presence. We thank you, Lord, for loving us so much, Lord, as you will to die that we might live. And tonight, Lord, as we

3
00:00:32,410 --> 00:00:38,310
together to your Lord, bless or to staff the city of warehouse, bless the mayor and the commissioners, bless the city manager.

4
00:00:38,930 --> 00:00:42,890
With Lord tonight, all our steps Lord and the decisions we make, they will be pleasing your state.

5
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:48,630
All our steps Lord, the way we care our self-floor, will be a representation of who you are.

6
00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:54,010
But Father, we invite Your presence to anointing into this meeting, that everything we do, be pleasing in Your sight.

7
00:00:54,850 --> 00:00:58,630
We ask Father that You will bless or the citizens that You will bless this meeting.

8
00:00:58,830 --> 00:01:01,430
For these things we ask in Jesus' holy name, amen.

9
00:01:01,430 --> 00:01:08,810
It means, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, to a troubling

10
00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:14,670
for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for

11
00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:14,910
all.

12
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:23,060
Glad to think our city manager for calling for our Miracle Tim to give us our invocation

13
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:24,260
and our pledge of allegiance.

14
00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:28,040
Madam Clerk, do we have any guests tonight?

15
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:28,620
No guests, no.

16
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:29,560
Very good.

17
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:41,280
Without any, yes, there will be no reading of the quorum, and we would like the City Commission to look at the agenda and

18
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:44,300
I'll entertain a motion of

19
00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:48,980
motion, Mr. Mayor.

20
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,880
You have a motion to approve the agenda from our Mayor Pro Tem, is there a second?

21
00:01:55,780 --> 00:01:56,160
Second.

22
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,800
I have a second from our commissioner, Tom Kimms.

23
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,660
Any discussions, any additions or deletions on the agenda?

24
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:07,840
Hearing none, we'll move into voting.

25
00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:10,120
All in favor, if you please, but raise your right hand.

26
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:13,820
Let the record show that all five commissioners

27
00:02:13,820 --> 00:02:15,860
have raised their right hand in agreement

28
00:02:16,310 --> 00:02:18,300
for the approval of the agenda.

29
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:20,500
With that, we'll move forward.

30
00:02:21,260 --> 00:02:23,420
Do we have any public remarks on official actions

31
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:29,880
as I just asked him. Of course we do not. And executive duties. We have executive duties.

32
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:37,480
We will go to our city's reports in the first with our first official report,

33
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,540
we are city's manager. Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

34
00:02:43,660 --> 00:02:45,240
Mr. Mayor, we did change the slide somewhere

35
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:51,860
to be more aesthetic. And although it's less information or less words, it does provide more information.

36
00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:58,300
Yes. So we did change these and we'll post these after the meeting. Typically, we only posted the work session

37
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:04,360
Got some feedback from some of the residents and they want to get more information on what resolutions,

38
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:10,520
Orances or paths will try to cooperate that through these slides and we'll try to post that summary after this meeting today

39
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,140
So we'll start with the my report on roles infrastructure. It remains the same

40
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,380
Continent to be service of roles will go more on 10 roles annually

41
00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:22,760
Currently, current payment projects are going well,

42
00:03:23,220 --> 00:03:23,900
coordination with GDOT.

43
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:33,380
We are in a different coordination with GDOT for potential other changes to memorial highway.

44
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,680
And I will brief that in detail, except Tim wants to get more clarification on what they're

45
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,220
asking for.

46
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:42,580
Water, super stormwater, remained the same for our investments.

47
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,840
The financial budget management, of course our goals keep balance funds.

48
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,380
by every month in the controls to continue to review our expenditures, work on our grant

49
00:03:56,380 --> 00:04:02,180
funding, cash management and then smart investing. I did reach out to two of the cities,

50
00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:08,660
they have, when I say no fines on their audits, they've always had no fines, so we had a meeting

51
00:04:08,660 --> 00:04:12,680
this morning. The finance department will meet them tomorrow just to give us a little more

52
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,780
insight on some things we might can do in preparation for our audit. So that went very well as far

53
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:26,200
those meetings. This is the snapshot, Mr. Mayor, where your dollar goes, it's

54
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,180
changed up now, we have less pitches and a little more data, hopefully this

55
00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:35,560
sends a better message. You see these plots, you're the date last cycle, proper

56
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,680
tax, that's gonna change a little bit and probably the late set term, October and

57
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,180
all the proper tax and all the CO tax comes in officially. And then again you see

58
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:49,520
We're going to have appropriated and then the doors are the salaries for part of the workforce.

59
00:04:51,950 --> 00:04:58,970
Community development goal continues to go well within the community and we'll touch more on this in the next few slides and of course public safety and

60
00:04:58,970 --> 00:05:09,050
quality of life. We did get some setbacks this week because of the heat without fire department for training, getting them prep, go to school, as well as the police force and then make some

61
00:05:09,050 --> 00:05:12,550
men, they'll probably do some extra training on the weekend just to get those candidates

62
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:14,530
up to speed before they depart for training.

63
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:17,470
I changed the 90 day track.

64
00:05:19,150 --> 00:05:20,270
Probably hard to read there.

65
00:05:20,650 --> 00:05:23,050
We're going to start doing this is the first iteration of this.

66
00:05:23,570 --> 00:05:24,530
We're going to mail it out.

67
00:05:24,570 --> 00:05:27,490
I think all commissions are bringing the tab is now so we'll make sure we're just emailed.

68
00:05:28,030 --> 00:05:28,970
Just slide out first.

69
00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:29,490
Print it out.

70
00:05:29,950 --> 00:05:34,290
We have some difficulties with our furnace sometimes and we'll get that fixed pretty

71
00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:34,750
soon too.

72
00:05:35,230 --> 00:05:39,030
It's just the trackers with the old system and pretty much what we kind of

73
00:05:39,030 --> 00:05:43,430
discussed yesterday just showing that we said the letter. We all know how that

74
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:45,010
conversation kind of goes.

75
00:05:47,020 --> 00:05:53,200
This is the in report we've been doing and you can see

76
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,420
that it says the operation will issue the night they track the shows and

77
00:05:57,420 --> 00:06:02,380
many routine cases remaining at set the letter working or similar follow-up

78
00:06:02,380 --> 00:06:06,300
stages. That does not mean the staff is not working it. It shows the limits of

79
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:11,020
process built around repeated notices and discretionary follow-ups. Reformers

80
00:06:11,020 --> 00:06:15,920
intended to create a defined next step after a fair notice, correction, citation,

81
00:06:16,340 --> 00:06:20,360
and another legally authorized remedy. And what I want to do, Mr. Mayor,

82
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:23,600
I can't

83
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,700
touch on it yesterday. We had a lot of questions last night after

84
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:33,520
knowing this morning, this afternoon about the meeting yesterday. I did do some

85
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,580
follow-up, I did some face-to-face, just to make sure that some of the points

86
00:06:36,580 --> 00:06:41,720
to clarify. And again, I want to say this is just a proposal. The commission has not yet

87
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,940
decided. And what's the rest of them want to go? I didn't mention about speaking with

88
00:06:46,940 --> 00:06:51,440
the courts tonight. It's not tied to influence the courts, but just how the courts perform

89
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,320
is where because they'll need to change some of their operational behavior. Now I see

90
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,520
behaviors I mean, how many times they have the court case and things that nature, if this

91
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,920
program is to work, but again, it's a proposal on their nature. We still have a lot of things

92
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:12,200
we have to do as far as research some of the legality behind these processes, but it's just a proposal.

93
00:07:12,580 --> 00:07:17,120
We're trying to just do something different because the same thing that we've been doing

94
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,580
for many, many, many years has not really been working or meeting the desired

95
00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:26,340
in state or outcome that we want. So we're going to try something different. So with this,

96
00:07:26,540 --> 00:07:30,160
now they track a mature you comparison from the old, now that they track it, they end it with

97
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,600
that is sent, this is saying notice issue if it's corrected in cases closed out and when

98
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,440
I said corrected last night, I made the small infractions, I think we all understand that

99
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,480
if we have a fallen house, it would not be fixed within 7 to 15 days, I think we all

100
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,120
recognize that.

101
00:07:47,740 --> 00:07:52,720
But once they do the inspection in the deadline weeks and it's actually required to stay open

102
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:59,060
and then it will escalate through that citation, abatement and legal remedies solutions which

103
00:07:59,060 --> 00:08:03,860
of multiple ones that we discussed last night. So again, it's kind of talking about the timeline.

104
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,680
I just asked the residents to take read the slides tonight. Go back and look at the video and make

105
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:14,600
sure you understand what we're talking about on the proposal. You know, if you're looking for the

106
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,400
worst case scenario, you're going to see the worst case scenario, you're going to hear the worst case

107
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,860
scenario. Again, this is not about the city making any funding or extra money. This is about compliance

108
00:08:22,860 --> 00:08:27,520
only. And when I say compliance, it's more safety compliance. That's the first and really only

109
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,240
priority is to get this city safe and the game can plan on our existing

110
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,400
ordinances and those ordinances that we might have to change a later date.

111
00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:37,370
All

112
00:08:37,370 --> 00:08:42,550
right. Again, it's my put this new slide in here so it kind of can be in the

113
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:48,290
space. It's a it's kind of a attempted summary of the 18 slides we had yesterday

114
00:08:48,290 --> 00:08:53,610
on code enforcement recommended changes. It is going on the educate notice deadline

115
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:57,650
and I respect, find, escalate, what changes,

116
00:08:57,950 --> 00:08:58,670
what does not change.

117
00:09:00,350 --> 00:09:01,790
And again, the focus on the priorities

118
00:09:01,790 --> 00:09:05,210
are life and safety, health, city right away,

119
00:09:05,610 --> 00:09:08,730
city infrastructure, water and sewer systems.

120
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:10,850
And we will explain what the idea is

121
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:12,870
and those four boxers at the next meeting.

122
00:09:13,010 --> 00:09:14,350
I know that's important for everybody to understand

123
00:09:14,890 --> 00:09:15,990
but I would ask residents,

124
00:09:16,050 --> 00:09:18,010
you can just think right now inside the box.

125
00:09:18,250 --> 00:09:21,290
We discussed all of these since I've been here

126
00:09:21,290 --> 00:09:22,130
about what they mean.

127
00:09:24,170 --> 00:09:32,490
So we'll try to do our best to put tangible items in those boxes, but I will say I had

128
00:09:32,490 --> 00:09:37,350
a discussion this morning, safety will still be brought because safety could be a lot of

129
00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:37,630
things.

130
00:09:38,350 --> 00:09:43,870
And that's the one area it might not be specific or encrypted for descriptive of what it is.

131
00:09:44,190 --> 00:09:46,290
But we'll discuss that as we go along.

132
00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:52,290
And this kind of what happens next.

133
00:09:52,290 --> 00:09:58,610
So I got the commission's direction on getting the code officers kind of sworn on got a verbal behind that

134
00:09:58,610 --> 00:10:04,530
We're doing now doing some legal review like I said some things that I kind of mentioned that we might can't do well

135
00:10:04,530 --> 00:10:06,470
I know we can't do without some ordinance change

136
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:13,870
We recognize that and also some verbiage with our course, which we have to do continued research on and then once all that's done

137
00:10:13,870 --> 00:10:19,510
We'll get the final framework. That's why I mentioned 2027 before we actually implement all this

138
00:10:20,450 --> 00:10:25,230
get to find a framework, make sure it's going to work, do some testing, all of those things

139
00:10:25,230 --> 00:10:28,510
that I come back to the Commission again for consideration then we're voting.

140
00:10:28,830 --> 00:10:34,670
Again, every 2021-7, so we weigh off, not too far off, but it's not like we're going

141
00:10:34,670 --> 00:10:35,150
to do it tomorrow.

142
00:10:35,690 --> 00:10:41,090
So there will be a education piece again on what we're trying to, what we are enforcing

143
00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:47,110
and those change we make far as certain ordinances either being removed, deleted, or in some cases

144
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:50,470
is a commission mind to put a new order in place to cover something that needs to be covered

145
00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:51,630
in regard to safety.

146
00:10:51,830 --> 00:10:57,290
So all that will be handled over the next, you know, 69 months and then again, like May

147
00:10:57,290 --> 00:11:00,630
to late 2027, we should be putting this new program in effect.

148
00:11:01,070 --> 00:11:05,410
And again, these are for the minor violations that are in our code, not the major violations

149
00:11:05,410 --> 00:11:07,390
associated with our abandoned properties.

150
00:11:07,830 --> 00:11:08,070
All

151
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,440
right, let me go back to Esmeralina.

152
00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:16,540
And once we kind of, once we implement it and kind of go through it, I'm going to do a

153
00:11:16,540 --> 00:11:20,760
six-month review and come back to the commission again by that time the commission will have

154
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,120
their own town halls all the feedback they need it and we've got to make twerks or to

155
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:33,340
we will if not then we won't to the program if it's not working for some reason although

156
00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:36,700
I feel like it will be better than what we got right now they will make modifications.

157
00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:46,760
Looking ahead Mr. Mayor to just continue with staff will keep on working infrastructure,

158
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,400
property management, economic development opportunities, capital improvement planning, operation

159
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,000
and modernization of technology advancements.

160
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,300
Again, this is how you can help us

161
00:11:56,300 --> 00:11:57,440
serve your better city website.

162
00:11:58,580 --> 00:12:01,080
You got the link there, the app.

163
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,320
You got the link there.

164
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,520
For a concert, the link there.

165
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,580
And then of course you're asking everybody

166
00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:08,180
to sign up for these city alerts.

167
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,600
Commissioner, you should have got the new city report this morning

168
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:13,680
so you made some changes there as well.

169
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:18,720
I think that kind of says less, but it's less words,

170
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,460
but I think it says more, a great job to the Bish team,

171
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,560
which is not to the residents and kind of asking them

172
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:27,240
how they thought about what the report should be

173
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,000
fixed to make them better understand how the city works.

174
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:31,340
And that's it.

175
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,680
Mr. Mayor, I got a couple more comments.

176
00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:33,980
I did get some feedback.

177
00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:37,280
I just want to say this.

178
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,420
I know a lot of times, I miss you a lot of times

179
00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:39,940
with the police.

180
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,680
You watch a lot of TV, and you see certain things.

181
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,440
And you think that's a standard.

182
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:46,380
Like a lot of people coming to the police department

183
00:12:46,860 --> 00:12:48,320
thinking they're going to be doing a lot of raise

184
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:54,540
and drug bus and gang, all that stuff, and it might be a 10-year career happens one

185
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:54,840
time.

186
00:12:56,300 --> 00:13:02,140
There are a lot of shows on TV right now about problematic procedures, you know, how this

187
00:13:02,140 --> 00:13:02,380
works.

188
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:09,940
You know, every commissioner, senator, state rep is putting a new resolution in every week

189
00:13:10,420 --> 00:13:11,720
on a new senate bill.

190
00:13:13,220 --> 00:13:17,760
That's not necessarily how it goes at this level, just to the public.

191
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,080
But no one can put in a deal that affects one area of this community.

192
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,400
I just want to say out loud, because our citizens need to really understand how this works.

193
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,820
I think until we can, I guess do a better job with that, we're also going to have people

194
00:13:30,820 --> 00:13:33,600
who kind of, when I see a missing form,

195
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,560
we have people disagree because they don't understand

196
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:39,040
the process.

197
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,540
And I think if you can, I'm asking residents to research the process, so you understand

198
00:13:43,540 --> 00:13:48,000
the process in that way when you come to these meetings or you watch these meetings you can

199
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,660
better understand why certain students are made. If you watch TV and you look at other things it's

200
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:57,680
not the same thing I promise you that and you're going to get disappointed confused and you're going

201
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:02,800
to get angry. So if you got any questions about how to just work I'm going to put a post out

202
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,000
prior to tomorrow of course we're asking residents to look at you know Robert's rule because y'all

203
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,360
the commission follows Robert's rules,

204
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:09,640
parts of that.

205
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:13,160
There's the Palm Mary's document out as well.

206
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:16,160
And then we'll discuss ordinances and resolutions,

207
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:16,900
what that means.

208
00:14:17,060 --> 00:14:20,160
I think some misunderstandings on who can do orders

209
00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:21,520
or better to take it back.

210
00:14:22,020 --> 00:14:24,000
What the order is is, who can pass a resolution,

211
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,960
what a resolution is and how they impact the city overall.

212
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:32,760
So we will try to do some operational updates for those

213
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,660
because we need our residents to understand those actions

214
00:14:35,660 --> 00:14:41,100
so that the commission can make decisions that, you know, that are well received by rats.

215
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:43,980
Now I apologize there for any questions, Mr. Mayor on the issue report.

216
00:14:46,170 --> 00:14:52,930
I'll open the floor up for the commission to either ask questions, comment, or comment,

217
00:14:53,290 --> 00:14:55,670
or how much it used to go, so I'll start with District 1.

218
00:14:56,410 --> 00:14:56,710
Oh, sir.

219
00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:58,270
District 2.

220
00:14:58,810 --> 00:14:59,970
Oh, yes, just like that.

221
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:19,740
I think city management staff are job to dump it in a more understandable format. Thanks, ma'am. Thank you. History three. Now listen, ma'am. District four. No questions. And district five. No, sir. Okay. All right. Thank you, ma'am.

222
00:15:25,420 --> 00:15:34,260
Just listening to the city manager bringing four information. I do understand that we hear based upon our level of understanding.

223
00:15:34,260 --> 00:15:39,540
anything. And sometimes when we're not sure about a thing, we create our own narrative around it.

224
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:47,170
So that can sometimes lead us down a path that does not necessarily help us to understand,

225
00:15:47,730 --> 00:15:54,670
but it does give us an idea of what we want to understand. So I'm sure with any kind of training

226
00:15:54,670 --> 00:16:01,310
on resolutions and ordinances, that would be quite interesting for a government 101 course.

227
00:16:01,310 --> 00:16:08,430
With that being said, I do want to make mention of the Weir County High Work-Based Learning

228
00:16:08,430 --> 00:16:16,110
College Career and CTSO Fair, the goal is to expose students to information and visuals

229
00:16:16,110 --> 00:16:21,090
about the various colleges, their careers or club opportunities in our area.

230
00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:27,430
This will take place on October 1st and this will be Thursday from 8.15 in the morning to

231
00:16:27,430 --> 00:16:36,890
about 1115 in that same morning. So with that, I do want to make that available by way of

232
00:16:36,890 --> 00:16:43,350
speaking it out into community. And we do want to thank the worst work-based learning coordinator,

233
00:16:43,530 --> 00:16:50,230
Dr. Hannah Cochran for providing this information for us. And with that, we move to our consent calendar.

234
00:16:51,230 --> 00:16:51,950
Madam Clerk.

235
00:16:53,270 --> 00:16:56,710
Yes, Mr. Mayor, consent calendar, approval of minutes.

241
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:33,330
There are no ordinance second meetings tonight.

242
00:17:33,950 --> 00:17:36,530
No privilege of licensing rules.

243
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:38,210
Back to you, Mr. Mayor.

244
00:17:39,070 --> 00:17:39,810
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

245
00:17:40,450 --> 00:17:43,450
Commission you have heard the consent calendar read by our city's clerk.

246
00:17:43,650 --> 00:17:44,110
What is your plan?

247

We have a motion for approval from our Mayor Provinces here a second.

248

We have a second from Commissioner Sanders having heard this.

250
00:17:55,870 --> 00:17:57,910
Are there any questions or comments regarding?

251
00:17:59,190 --> 00:18:00,250
I got a little shit out there.

252
00:18:00,590 --> 00:18:01,630
It's a pretty interesting counter.

253
00:18:01,790 --> 00:18:02,690
It's a little moving to both.

254
00:18:03,370 --> 00:18:05,550

Madam Clerk.

304
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,960
Mr. Mayor, this ordinance, due to it being an emergency ordinance, I'll have to read it twice tonight.

305
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:57,180
An ordinance under the authority of the Charter of the City of Wakecross, Georgia, in acts of the General Assembly of Georgia,

306
00:22:57,180 --> 00:23:03,760
for levian and collecting ad valorum tax for the year 2026 to declare an

307
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,380
emergency to allow for second reading and for other purposes. By adopting

308
00:23:08,380 --> 00:23:12,620
this ordinance, the city commission will declare an emergency to allow for

309
00:23:12,620 --> 00:23:20,260
second reading to approve the collection of an ad valorum tax of three, sorry, 8.3970

310
00:23:20,260 --> 00:23:25,820
mills on all property, real and personal within the corporate limits of the city

311
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:32,140
of Wacross, which is taxable under the law of the state of Georgia for the year 2026

312
00:23:32,140 --> 00:23:37,880
for the purpose of supporting, maintaining, and bearing expenses of the city government.

313
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:46,640
Second reading, an ordinance on the de-authority of the charter of the city of Wacross, Georgia,

off to Facebook and put what you feel the truth may be.

392
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,200
I want to commend our city's manager for the work he's doing

393
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,320
and keeping our staff flowing and going.

394
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:51,080
It's really good.

395
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:56,280

Thank you again for these wonderful looks like these PowerPoints have been upgraded and I really appreciate. It just shows that you're consistently thinking about something to better it and making your better best and your best better. So we are really appreciative of all the work that has been done and with that I want to commend the commissioners for being present. Each meeting.

398
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:36,560
and being very diligent about talking to each of their commissions or their

399
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:42,320
groups under them which is really good. I would like to also say happy birthday

400
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:49,960
to all all the Swabies until you just be safe as you incongrued with what

401
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,820
Commissioner Sanders said about the heat. I don't know if I have to be worried about

402
00:30:53,820 --> 00:31:00,180
the heat or just be very mindful that if you are out in the heat, make sure that you take the care

403
00:31:00,180 --> 00:31:04,580
for sure. And leave your car windows down just a little bit because of the heat that's we're

404
00:31:04,580 --> 00:31:11,780
encountering here. But with that, I want to entertain a motion for a German and I heard it.

405
00:31:15,340 --> 00:31:28,300
So we're going to move into our own favorite eye, our opposed though, motion carries, and

406
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:28,680
we're out.

407
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,780
Have a great day.
