For the record, Mr. um Short is absent

deals with uh illness of his mother.

27
00:03:39,427 --> 00:03:43,920
» [cough]

28
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,440
» Item three is matters from the mayor. I

29
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,400

00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:51,519
welcoming remarks on Friday for the co

31
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,879

32
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:55,360
particular ceremony is specifically

33
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:57,040
aimed at our living veterans and first

00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,000

scars from calls or or things that

38
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:13,599
happened to them in war. So, we were

39
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,239
able to uh acknowledge and honor them.

40
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:20,160
Uh it was a a really good good ceremony.

41
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:22,800
I was very honored to be asked to give

42
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,800
Welcoming remarks.

43
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:29,280
Item four, matters from council.

44
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,360
Um, I did have the, uh, pleasure of

00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:33,680
going out to the VOTE open house the

46
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,840
other night. Um, as usual, it was very

47
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,759
impressive. They have a lot of very good

48
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:39,120
adult learning programs as well as

49
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:41,600
programs for the youth at the high

50
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,240
school. Um, definitely want to continue

51
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,240
to u make our students and our community

52
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,800
aware of the opportunities that that

53
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,478
affords. um and look forward to future

54
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,160

55
00:04:51,478 --> 00:04:54,320
[clears throat]

56
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,840
» Um and I second I also attended the

57
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:00,560
Valley Votech uh tour uh where I had the

58
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,600
opportunity to work with a a local firm

59
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:07,199
as well as the uh teacher there that

60
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,600
teaches uh masonry uh and has so has

61
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:12,560
done so in excess of it seems like 40

62
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,120
years or so. So went went to that and

63
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,840
then also had the uh opportunity to do a

64
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:24,800

» I just want to say uh congratulations to

67
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,400
the Wsboro varsity football team. Um,

68
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:34,560
you know, they've had a rough couple of

69
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,919
years and they didn't have a come out of

70
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,199
the season with a winning record, but

71
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:39,840
they win more this year than they've

72
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:41,360
done in the past and coach Bane up there

73
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:44,240
has really done a lot of work with those

74
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,680
kids and uh I know a three- win season

75
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,280
ain't a lot for a lot of people, but is

76
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,600
a big success for Wesboro and it's just

77
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:51,280
a move forward ahead. So, big

78
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,600
congratulations to Coach Bane and and

79
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:56,080
those especially those seniors who put

80
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,240
so much effort in the last few years um

81
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,600
into something they love so much. So, I

82
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,680
just want to for the record say

83
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,919
congratulations to Wayneboro varsity

84
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,960
football team.

85
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:08,400

86
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,319
consent agenda. Is there a motion to

87
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,880
adopt the consent agenda?

88
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:12,639
» So move.

89
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,360
» Thank you, Mr. Wood. Is there a second?

90
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,759
» I'll second.

in favor, please say I.

93
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,639
» I.

94
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,720
» Eyes have it. 40.

95
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:26,160
Item six is consider introducing an

96
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:29,440
ordinance amending city code chapter 82

97

99
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,560
» Good evening Mr. Mayor, members of

um from the city limits to its terminus

106
00:06:53,840 --> 00:07:00,560

Any questions for Miss?

112
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:13,599
» No.

113
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,960
» All right. Is there a motion to

114
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:16,000

115
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,639

» Thank you, Mr. Wood. Is there a second?

117
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:22,400
» I second.

118
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,840
» Thank you, Mr. Combi. Any discussion?

119
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,280
This ordinance, having been introduced

120
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,120
and discussed, will receive final

121
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,880
consideration at the November 24th

122
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,120
meeting.

123
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,400
Item seven, communication correspondence

124
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,120
calendar. Mr. Hemp,

125
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,599
» I don't have anything this evening, sir.

126
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,280
» Item eight, citizen comment.

127
00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:45,240
» Yes, sir. Um

128
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,240
Darren Carrington.

129
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,840
So you'll have four minutes. Green light

130
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,039
will come on.

131
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,759
The yellow light will come on when you

132
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:56,759
have 30 seconds left.

133
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,080
» Uh good evening members of the council.

134
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:08,319
Uh my name is Darien Carrington and I

135
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:10,240
live at uh 304 Evershshire uh Street.

136
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,680
I'm here tonight because I believe every

137
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,599
resident should have the basic right to

138
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,639
access their own property safely. And

139
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:16,720
right now, that's something I'm

140
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:18,319
struggling to do. Every day, I have to

141
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,319
navigate speeding traffic, lack of

142
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:22,639
visibility, and poor street design. It's

143
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:23,919
not just inconvenient, it's unsafe. I've

144
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:25,759
had moments where I couldn't pull out

145
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:27,599
without risking an accident. And there

146
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:28,960
have been times where emergency vehicles

147
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:30,400
and deliveries couldn't reach my home

148
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,399
easily.

149
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,760
I'm asking for a practical solution, one

150
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:35,519
that protects both residents and

151
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,440
drivers. Whether that means clear

152
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:38,719
signage, waiting to take full control of

153
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,399
the streets, stricter parking

154
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:42,240
enforcement, or adjustments to traffic

155
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:43,760
flow, there are reasonable steps the

156
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,160
city can take to ensure residents like

157
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,399
myself can enter and exit our driveways

158
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,080
safely. I'm not here to complain. I'm

159
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:52,240
here to work with you. This is about

160
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,831
safety, fairness, and maintaining the

161
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,839
quality of life that our neighborhoods

162
00:08:53,831 --> 00:08:57,519
[snorts] deserve. I love this community,

163
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:59,680
and I simply want to be able to leave my

164
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:01,040
home without access issues. Thank you

165
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,560
for your time, your service, and your

166
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,320
consideration.

167
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:05,040
Um,

168
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,920
thank you.

169
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:11,480
» Thank you, sir.

170
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,480
» Carmen Cullen.

171
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,240
» Good evening, council members, and thank

172
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,920
you for the opportunity to speak again.

173
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,920
My name is Carmen Cullen, and I live in

174
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,480
the new uh town home Evershshire

175
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,240
development. I'm here once again because

176
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,160
the unsafe design of my driveway

177
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,560
continues to prevent safe ingress and

178
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,080
egress from my property. Members of the

179
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:31,519
planning commission and at least one of

180
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,880
you have been to my home and have

181
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:35,360
acknowledged that this is a legitimate

182
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,080
safety issue. The street in front of my

183
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,720
home measures 29 ft curb to curb and my

184
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,360
driveway is 9 ft wide. Not counting the

185
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,200
small apron that connects to the road.

186
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,200
When one car is parked across from my

187
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,360
driveway and the other beside it, both

188
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,000
legally, that takes up roughly 14 ft of

189
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,720
roadway, leaving only about 15 ft to

190
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,959
maneuver. In reality, it's less when you

191
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,000
factor in mirrors or cars that don't hug

192
00:09:56,959 --> 00:10:02,480
the curb. A midsize sedan sedan like

193
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,600
mine needs more than 20 feet for a safe

194
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,680
turn. I'm short about 9 ft, making it

195
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,320
physically impossible to enter or exit

196
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,800
without multiple reversals or not being

197
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,720
able to move at all. I've even been

198
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,959
trapped for hours, including once when I

199
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,560
needed re to reach urgent care. My home

200
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:20,720
is the only one in the subdivision where

201
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:22,480
the driveway directly aligns with

202
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,279
another across the street, creating a

203
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,959
choke point that makes this worse. The

204
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:28,560
house across wasn't built when I

205
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:30,480
purchased mine. So, there was no way to

206
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:32,959
know that this would happen. This isn't

207
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,120
buyer's remorse. It's a design oversight

208
00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:36,959
that no homeowner should have or could

209
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,279
have anticipated.

210
00:10:36,959 --> 00:10:42,560
When I raised this issue, I had a city

211
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:44,560
employee, Mr. Todd Wood, suggest I sell

212
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,399
my home to a 55-year-old couple with a

213
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:48,720
smaller car.

214
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:50,560
To me, that's unacceptable.

215
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,880
That conversation was unintentionally

216
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:54,800
recorded by my home security system. The

217
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,600
first time I heard it, it was

218
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:00,079
unbelievable. The second time, even more

219
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,680
so. This showed me that instead of

220
00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:03,279
holding the developer accountable, the

221
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:05,680
responsibility was being placed on me,

222
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:08,320
the homeowner. I've tried for months to

223
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:10,320
work with the city and through the

224
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,880
person that I purchased my home from and

225
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,800
the developer. But instead of solutions,

226
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,560
I've not been met. I've not been

227
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,959
responded to and faced with what feels

228
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:21,360
like retaliation.

229
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:24,399
Recently, the developer contacted the

230
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:27,120
CEO of my finan fiance's employer 5

231
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:29,519
hours after I filed a BBB complaint.

232
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,519
That's why I need the city to step in.

233
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:32,959
This isn't what homeowners should have

234
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:34,640
to go through. And this is what happens

235
00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:36,240
when homeowners try to hold a developer

236
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,000
accountable.

237
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,839
The city's only fix would cost me

238
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,839
thousands of dollars to alter curbing

239
00:11:39,839 --> 00:11:44,240
and pour new concrete for a problem I

240
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:46,079
didn't create. and that was only

241
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,959
approved during the development review

242
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:50,880
of by the planning commission. My only

243
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:52,160
mistake through this process was

244
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,839
trusting that the planning commission

245
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,440
and the developer would ensure that all

246
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:58,959
driveways were safe, not just some. I've

247
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,399
asked the city to hold off on accepting

248
00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:02,640
the road until the developer corrects

249
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:04,720
this issue. Once the road is accepted,

250
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,800
the city's and my leverage is completely

251
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,680
gone. The developer will have no reason

252
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,279
to make it right. This isn't about me.

253
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:12,880
It's about safety, fairness, and

254
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:14,480
accountability in how homes are built in

255
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,920
Williamsboro.

256
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,399
Thank you for your time and thank you

257
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,000
for taking this issue seriously. I hope

258
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:22,160
we can reach a resolution that protects

259
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,160
residents, hold developers accountable,

260
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,079
and ensures that no one else ends up

261
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,440
feeling trapped in their own driveway.

262
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:28,399
Thank you.

263
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,160
» Thank you, ma'am.

264
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:33,639
» Thank you,

265
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,639
» Jennifer McDonald

266
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:39,880
or Jennifer McDall. Okay.

267
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,120
Hello, my name is Jennifer McDonald. I'm

268
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,800
a resident of Wesboro. I've been here

269
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,320
for

270
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:52,399
uh [sighs and gasps]

271
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:54,320
about 11 years now. And um I've recently

272
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:57,600
had the opportunity to ride the bus

273
00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,399
system in Waysboro. And I noticed a

274
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:03,680
great increase in the bus, the number of

275
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:05,360
passengers on the bus, which was a lot

276
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:07,920
greatly improved from when I rode it

277
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,639
three years ago. But I had some just

278
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:18,320
suggestions in regards to the bus system

279
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:23,920
as in um more um benches also too. Um

280
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:26,160
I I'd like to see um more um

281
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,399
like a light system where the bus when

282
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,079
it comes around it doesn't have to try

283
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:32,160
to look everywhere to find if there's a

284
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:34,079
passenger where that light would you

285
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,800
just click it on they know to stop

286
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:38,880
because a lot of times these passengers

287
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,519
are trying to get out of the weather

288
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:45,839
like example would be um sitting on the

289
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:47,760
bench over there by um social services

290
00:13:45,839 --> 00:13:50,959
and they're kind of out of sight when

291
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,440
they come around that curb. So, if some

292
00:13:50,959 --> 00:13:56,240
of the um bus stops would have like a

293
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:59,040
light to where they're not trying the

294
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:01,920
bus drivers are not trying to search

295
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,480
everywhere and also trying to see the

296
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,639
the passengers,

297
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,000
excuse me, the the road ahead of them

298
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:10,560
and trying to see make sure the

299
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,040
passengers get on to where they don't

300
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:15,440
miss anybody. Thank you. Thank you.

301
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:19,000
» Thank you.

302
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,000
Dewan Bellamy.

303
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,680
So, the last time I appeared before city

304
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,839
council, I came before you as a humble

305
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,480
young man that was concerned about the

306
00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:43,120
youth in his community.

307
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:47,120
I don't believe in coincidences and I do

308
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:51,279
not like to be treated like my humility

309
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:53,199
and my humbleness is weakness.

310
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:56,240
A week and a half after I brought your

311
00:14:53,199 --> 00:14:59,279
proposal, Terry Short introduced One

312
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:02,000
Waysboro to the public using the exact

313
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:04,160
same language of my proposal and using

314
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,800
finances directed to the exact same

315
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,240
things that I said in my proposal. Like

316
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,680
I said, I do not believe in

317
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,680
coincidences.

318
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,800
This is disgusting behavior and

319
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,560
deplorable. Now, I come to you as a

320
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,120
powerful black man that will not stand

321
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,199
for wickedness. I emailed each one of

322
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:26,000
the each one of you council members

323
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:28,639
twice with no response. I filed a FOIA

324
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,600
where price gouging was absolutely

325
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:33,360
applied. $317

326
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:37,600
for some paperwork is absolutely

327
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:39,920
ridiculous. Also, with that being said,

328
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,800
I reached out to all the organizations

329
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:45,279
that you decided to give a $100,000 to

330
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,199
after telling RISE 5 years ago that you

331
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:50,320
could not use taxpayer dollars to

332
00:15:47,199 --> 00:15:52,480
support private and nonprofit

333
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,160
organizations agendas. But then you turn

334
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,279
around 5 years later and do the same

335
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:59,199
thing for non-black organizations. So

336
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:01,600
since you wanted to leave black

337
00:15:59,199 --> 00:16:04,480
representation out of that program

338
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,639
called one waysboro, that shows me that

339
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,920
you will leave black people out of the

340
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:12,079
benefits of that program as well. So

341
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:17,720
with that being said, I will not stand

342
00:16:12,079 --> 00:16:17,720
for it. Jim, that seat looks real nice.

343
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:23,000
That's it.

344
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,920
» All right.

345
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,560
Item nine. Is there a motion to adjourn?

346
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,399
» So move.

347
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,600
» Thank you, Mr. Wood. Is there a second?

348
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:35,600
» I'll second it.

349
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:38,839
» Thank you, Mr. All in favor say I. I. I.

350
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,839
» We are

351
00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:42,639
my son.
