grandmother that it's very important to

54
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:28,759
read with children my grandchildren I've
got one that we used to read he would

55
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:34,080
read the book bring it home and say
grandama read it and then I would read

56
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:41,199
it and we would talk about it and how
important it is to get children to read

57
00:06:37,479 --> 00:06:41,199
they can't learn if they can't

58
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:52,199
read I have had a September for me as
mayor was one of the most trying months

59
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:59,120
that I have ever
had I had about 14 meetings that were

60
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:04,919
not related to this Council but meetings
that I I had to go to as mayor to

61
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:08,599
represent this town I learned a lot I
went some of them with lyanna some of

62
00:07:06,919 --> 00:07:15,360
them with
Wy but I feel like that we need I need

63
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:20,639
to be there our staff needs to be there
when needed so that people will know who

64
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:26,240
we are and that Wilson Mills is
important and so if anyone has a meeting

65
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:33,280
that they would like to need attend to
represent the town I'm willing to go

66
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:38,120
and learn everything I can toes to
represent this town and learn what we

67
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:45,520
need to grow so I'm just telling you
that it was trying for me but I enjoyed

68
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:50,400
it I learned a lot um lean and I have a
lot we're going on right now there's a

69
00:07:47,919 --> 00:07:55,280
lot of stuff going on behind the scenes
that y'all don't know about because we

70
00:07:52,759 --> 00:08:01,479
can't tell you yet but there's a lot of
stuff that's that's out there and um

71
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:03,479
there's a lot of things that we're doing
and I think it's for the betterment of

72
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,759
the
town and that's all I have L it's your

73
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:16,159
job a few updates for

74
00:08:24,599 --> 00:08:33,719

comprehensive ility

75
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:38,959
plan that was awarded to um TRC
Incorporated engineering

76
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:44,279
firm and we've got a meeting scheduled

78
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:54,640
and the county um and even a
representative from the Wooten company

79
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:59,800
is sending in some information about the
um work that was done back in

80
00:08:57,079 --> 00:09:07,160
2017 excuse me
so um this timetable shows what will be

81
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:12,399
done if you look at the contract the
various tasks in the contract and what

82
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:19,800
dates those will be completed and we'll
be holding meetings throughout the

00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:24,040
next several months including into
2024 and if everything goes as planned

84
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:29,360
which I don't see any reason why it
shouldn't this should come to you for a

85
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:32,519
final presentation at the August Council
meeting in

86
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:43,640
2024 anybody have any questions about
this just want you to have a copy of it

87
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:49,200
for your reference Le are they having
any problems getting the information

88
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:54,360
from the county and then no um the two
representatives of the county Shandra

89
00:09:50,880 --> 00:10:00,519
farmer and um Kim rer are on the share
drive with us and so everybody's putting

90
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:04,959
in all the data and then once we meet on
that in November and move for

91
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:12,800
in um the second thing that I wanted to
talk to you about I mentioned it last

92
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:18,360
month the Triangle East Chamber of
Commerce the subcommittee that I'm on

93
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:24,839
for economic development has hired
livability for promoting areas in the

94
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:29,240
county and as I mentioned to you they
were supposed to be getting me some

95
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:37,519
information on costs for ads we're
hoping that if we can go ahead and set

96
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:43,079
with them what ad we want to do that by
the time we start The Branding and Logo

97
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:49,200
project that will be completed before
this is publicized in the spring of

98
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:54,760
24 so most of these are going to range
in in the area that's under my threshold

99
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:59,079
um so I'm probably just going to work
with this is a lot of information that

100
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:05,240
they sent to me I think that you want to
copies of all of this information but it

101
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:11,279
just gives some examples of other towns
and how they Market themselves

102
00:11:08,519 --> 00:11:16,079
especially if there aren't a lot of
businesses in the towns yet which is our

103
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:19,800
case but we do have a couple of
developers that we're working with that

104
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:24,399
will probably put some stuff in this
livability publication about the

105
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:29,519
developments that are going up
especially the mixed used ones to try to

106
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:34,680
Market some of the areas for and
Commercial and then of course we'll have

107
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:40,440
our information in there about our
demographic operation what's coming

108
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:44,320
Transportation all that kind stuff so I
just wanted to update you on that again

109
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:49,639
I did get that from her now there's some
of them that go the premium rates for

110
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:53,760
several Pages go all the way up to tens
of thousands but we're not looking at

111
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:57,680
anything like that right now right now
we just want to make sure we get our

112
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:02,680
name out there hopefully after our
branding um so I just wanted to update

113
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:07,440
you on that
too the community engagement project

114
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:13,639
that we've talked
about before with um with the department

115
00:12:11,959 --> 00:12:21,240
heads and all of the staff when we had
our meeting we did meet a few weeks ago

116
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:26,120
and assigned teams for the five top
short-term

117
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:31,680
goals and this is just a summary of
those meetings and I wanted you to each

118
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:31,680
have a copy of

119
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:38,959
that um this basically just talks about
what we went over what we felt like we

120
00:12:37,199 --> 00:12:43,920
wanted to accomplish with this community
engagement project talking about why

121
00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:49,880
change may or may not be hard especially
in the public sector and given priority

122
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:54,600
to some of our brainstorming ideas so
our top priority short-term goals

123
00:12:51,839 --> 00:13:00,320
between now and the end of the year deal
with volunteers for different events and

124
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:06,120
in the community and surrounding areas
um direct mailing permits in hopes to

125
00:13:03,199 --> 00:13:10,800
get more information out to the citizens
utilizing our YouTube and social media

126
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:17,600
which unfortunately tonight we're having
technical difficulties again um

127
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:22,240
digitizing the packets so that not only
cut down on paper but also it's

128
00:13:19,839 --> 00:13:26,680
available for the public on the website
and when we get our new Chambers to be

129
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:34,519
able to put it up on the screen so that
the public can see that and working with

130
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:40,639
um area HOAs School sponsored activities
the PTA and other informational meetings

131
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:45,480
around town with different organizations
that give us an opportunity to answer

132
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:50,360
any questions that citizens may have
about what we do and what we're trying

133
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:56,959
to do in the community to get everybody
engaged in a positive way so this is

134
00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:03,399
just a summary of that our teams were
created we meet again tomorrow to talk

135
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:09,639
about um what the teams have
accomplished so far on each one of these

136
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:14,959
subjects and we've got a department head
on each one of the five teams and then

137
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,199
other staff members with that department
head who are heading up these different

138
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:23,560
projects so I'll keep you updated on
these but if you get to looking through

from that was awarded that we were
trying to use up has have we have y'all

160
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:26,120
decided exactly how that's going to be
used that what's it

161
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:30,519
called

162
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,920
which money are you talking about the
araund yeah the AR that I couldn't think

163
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:44,680
of the name of it so our arpa funds are
being used for revenue for Revenue

164
00:16:41,319 --> 00:16:52,759
replacement so um that if you look on
the first page under Revenue there's an

165
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:52,759
amount

166
00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:00,480
that's I'm sorry not not under Revenue
it's

167
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,480
under

168
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:13,360
P feel like I gave it to you okay it is
on page there it is on the first page

169
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:13,360
yeah page one I just overlooked I see it

170
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:19,919
okay I'm sorry I was looking in the
wrong place ear marked for the different

171
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:26,600
projects that we have this year the
excess on utilities The Branding the the

172
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:31,240
um Capital Improvement projects Staffing
plan all of those things are I thought

173
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:35,600
we had already put that out okay that's
what I want to be sure but I I think if

174
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:43,280
you looked in your information from last
month's meeting I gave a summary of um

175
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:48,320
was last month or month before whenever
you awarded the

176
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:54,520
TRC contract because it showed all of
the projects that you earmarked for that

177
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:59,080
AR money this year Le have we heard any
more from representative Strickland

178
00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:05,760
office
um we did hear that as soon as they can

179
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:09,440
get past all of the red tape with the
governor and whatever else is going on

180
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:13,760
with the speaker of the house that they
will that that we've got everything that

181
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,200

so once it's

182
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:21,919
approve everything she go through but so
there's not an issue on our end it's

183
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:26,000
just an issue in trying to get
everything approve and that may have

184
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:31,120
happened Friday or today I honestly
hav't had a chance to I don't know but

185
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,120
we we've got what we

186
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:37,159
asked that last thing you we did get
what we

187
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:46,200
asked for for them to give it to us for
the budget to be approved and them to so

188
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,559
it's in that budget but the the budget
may have been approved do anybody did

189
00:18:47,919 --> 00:18:54,039
anybody see that over the last week or
so for tomorrow okay thank you okay so

190
00:18:52,159 --> 00:18:57,320
you're saying the Committees have
approved it's gone through the house and

191
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:02,360
the Senate just great okay that's
correct in the budget that'll take care

192
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:07,440
of that one line item that we had to
borrow for it should take care of that

193
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:10,679
and funding for a new police department
at our

194
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:15,880
campus oh
really we we hope that that amount will

195
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:22,520
cover it if not it will pretty much it
will be a big chunk of

196
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:26,559
it we we asked we asked big when we I
guess does that excite the chief or does

197
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:30,960
the chief happen to really like where he
is it really okay

198
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,960
all

199
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:40,400
right any other questions about the
finance

200
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:43,880
report thank you okay
Wendy planning

201
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:56,000
department there any questions about the
monthly reports that you have in front

202
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:02,280
of
you not a whole lot of change from last

203
00:19:58,679 --> 00:20:07,440
month for this month on that I see that
on the Cottages that the developer is

204
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:13,320
now Contracting out items obviously he
has to contract them out uh and I see

205
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:17,520
the one home that was just the backyard
was eroding out onto the street and

206
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:22,280
clogging up the uh the sewer has finally
gotten saw there I don't know who put

207
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:25,640
that there but it stopped that erosion
which is very nice so my remaining

208
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:32,159
question with respect to that
development is the uh retention fond

209
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:37,760
um he has more than just the fencing to
do on that and he's supposed to be

210
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,159
getting all of that stuff together okay
when I say fencing I mean obviously for

211
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:45,000
the retention fonds you know for the
safety side of but I want to bring up

212
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:52,520
the other part that he promised to do in
in instead of a vegetation barrier he

213
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:56,320
changed it per you to a six foot white
priv plastic privacy fence when is that

214
00:20:54,679 --> 00:21:00,360
going to go through I have neighbors
asking me about it he was supposed to

215
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:05,799
have already been working on trying to
get that contracted out okay I know from

216
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:12,400
another project going on in town that
there is await on that fencing some of

217
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:19,360
it um is back ordered I guess depending
on who you go through so it's not the

218
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:26,039
contractor it's waiting it's the uh the
product that's my understanding that's

219
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:32,640
has he selected a contractor yet has he
selected a contractor

220
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:38,080
he told me he had when did you say that
two weeks ago okay did he tell you who

221
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:41,200
it was
no thank

222
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,159

00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:18,519
that do they do they have to be
dispatched or do they just say you know

315
00:30:16,519 --> 00:30:23,200
I'll take that I'll I'll get over
there can can you put it on the mic

316
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,200
everybody

317
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,640
else
if it's it's detrimental yeah they'll

318
00:30:30,679 --> 00:30:37,559
check
any I've actually had a Pine Level

319
00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:42,240
officer come to W New Years to go to
help an officer that was in fight

320
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:46,600
so have to be told I'm just I'm just
thankful that that that we had the

321
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:50,640
foresight to see where our officers can
go help other officers and we can and

322
00:30:48,519 --> 00:30:55,919
our our town is kill
Co you that that that that means that

323
00:30:54,440 --> 00:31:03,200
that that we had to
foresight some years ago during the

324
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:03,200
planning and but thank you

325
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:14,919
forun I see the I'm gonna you know I I
know uh sarden Ray is kind of busy but I

326
00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:20,960
I think this month or next month I'm
going to sit down and try and redo his

327
00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:24,120
calls for service and and maybe give it
to him and see if he can do it that way

328
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:28,200
what I was what I would really like to
see and I think all of us would instead

329
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:33,240
of having to read and comped each time
to see see a graph showing the the trend

330
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:37,600
instead of just reading it like this and
I know he's busy so maybe I'll work on

331
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:43,440
that and give it to him just to see if
it I I I can read that a lot better than

332
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:46,600
I can read up and down and see I can't
see Trends very well looking at numbers

333
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:53,639
like
that take an

334
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:53,639

335
00:31:56,159 --> 00:31:59,159

looking for uh me and Tony just done our

347
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:16,320
oil changes on our truck the other day
Okay oil changes we do some tires do we

348
00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:21,120
keep the filters in stock uh I do have a
couple extra in stock okay um the tires

349
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:26,240
I do for the PD a lot of times I keep
spare tires there on rims on rims can we

350
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:31,399
we have the capability to mount them yet
no not yet you looking to do that yes in

351
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:35,480
the future yes uh but we take them back
with blacks and I have them patched or

352
00:33:33,039 --> 00:33:41,639
replac and I just keep like I keep some
at stock okay I have some for the Taho

353
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:46,159
some for the newer Chargers and then one
for the older charger too we doing

354
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:49,320
anything belts I mean years ago you you
needed to keep belts because they would

355
00:33:47,399 --> 00:33:55,240
break fairly often but nowadays they'
changed a little bit so we don't have

356
00:33:50,720 --> 00:34:01,639
belts and stock okay um all right oil
changes brakes you said done break we

357
00:33:58,159 --> 00:34:04,919
can do break okay I get some else in
there we can start doing more stuff

358
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:18,480
hopefully I um
Patrick had four tires fixed for what do

359
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:21,839
you mean by fixed um if they have
something in them I take them over there

360
00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:26,399
to give them either patch or replace the
black I I and and this is just my

361
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:33,599
recommendation um you know looking back
at the that Chief's report

362
00:34:30,119 --> 00:34:39,119
um if if they got an emergency I just
don't like

363
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:43,200
patching emergency tires um you know I
guess I guess and I'm not a mechanic

364
00:34:40,919 --> 00:34:48,359
even but you know I mean if you have to
put a plug in it and they're going 80 BS

365
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:53,040
per hour or whatever to to respond to PO
o or or to help another officer I mean I

366
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:58,520
just want to make sure that it's the
safest if if there's something in it

367
00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:01,640
replace it this not the safest to plug
it you know what I'm saying that's the

368
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:05,400
reason why we patch them we patch them
from the inside we don't put plugs from

369
00:35:03,079 --> 00:35:11,160
the outside they take the tire off and
then it's actually P flued into the

370
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:14,400
inside I don't plug tires
ons thank you

371
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:20,839
for can you say something else that's
going to help me because I forgot what I

372
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:27,240
was going to say and I need a
second never mind oh yes I do I'm sorry

373
00:35:24,839 --> 00:35:31,599
it's for chief real quick chief are we

heard that talking sign on 70 for it
will be it will be but it won't be done

411
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:27,200
until 70 i42 is completed and they
change the signs because there'll be

412
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:32,079
signs hanging down right before the
bridge act yeah do we need to remind

413
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:39,200
them that we're here and we wanted that

question there Jim she will be the one
that will present it to them so I mean I

417
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:59,880
knew that there's the the do sign the do
sign that you're referring to will be

418
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:05,079
put up by the do based on where the
exits take

419
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:09,280
people during our branding and Logo
stuff once that is complete one of the

420
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:15,960
things that we talked about for that is
way finding funds so there will also be

421
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:22,000
signs like um the big blue sun say Town
Hall campus or Community Park is that is

422
00:40:20,319 --> 00:40:24,200
that part of what you were talking about
as

423
00:40:25,359 --> 00:40:28,359
well

424
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,480
yes that's do

425
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,640
that's yeah they're probably not going
to change it now because they're only

426
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:45,040
about a year away from that being
finished and everything will be Chang

427
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:49,800
based on what the service roads and the
exits on and off there at Wilson Mills

428
00:40:47,359 --> 00:40:55,119
Road and Swift freek Road will be well
we're talking signage what's the latest

429
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:58,880
on the community park and the dog parks
oh dog Park's not there so so signage

430
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:03,079
doesn't matter yet but with respect to
the community part we don't have one yet

431
00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:09,520
are
we we working on it so well I honestly

432
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:14,200
I'm trying to think about between now
and June if we're g to have money left

433
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:18,480
over in that line and do plans that
we're doing or we're going to need to

434
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:22,319
take it out of this line and we may just
do that take it out of what a different

435
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:28,359
line in the
budget they are they' be nice I'd like

while and he said they're they're
actually practicing on those fields

443
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:06,880

and fertilizer and they have also
completed some general maintenance

00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:31,800
around the fields they are hoping to be
playing actual games out there during

449
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:35,800
the second half of their season and
they're also trying to fild that large

00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:40,319
wash out area near the what they call
