1st
[5:41] 2023 as National family literacy day to
underscore the importance of
[5:49] literacy celebrate the joy of reading

extend deep appreciation to our local
[6:02] Librarians Educators and literacy
service providers for their tireless
[6:07] effort to strengthen the literacy of our
children and our
[6:14] community and I know for a fact as a
grandmother that it's very important to
[6:20] read with children my grandchildren I've
got one that we used to read he would
[6:26] read the book bring it home and say
grandama read it and then I would read
[6:31] it and we would talk about it and how
important it is to get children to read
[6:37] they can't learn if they can't
[6:42] read I have had a September for me as
mayor was one of the most trying months
[6:50] that I have ever
had I had about 14 meetings that were
[6:56] not related to this Council but meetings
that I I had to go to as mayor to
[7:01] represent this town I learned a lot I
went some of them with lyanna some of
[7:06] them with
Wy but I feel like that we need I need
[7:12] to be there our staff needs to be there
when needed so that people will know who
[7:17] we are and that Wilson Mills is
important and so if anyone has a meeting
[7:24] that they would like to need attend to
represent the town I'm willing to go
[7:29] and learn everything I can toes to
represent this town and learn what we
[7:35] need to grow so I'm just telling you
that it was trying for me but I enjoyed
[7:40] it I learned a lot um lean and I have a
lot we're going on right now there's a
[7:47] lot of stuff going on behind the scenes
that y'all don't know about because we
[7:52] can't tell you yet but there's a lot of
stuff that's that's out there and um
[7:59] there's a lot of things that we're doing
and I think it's for the betterment of
[8:02] the
town and that's all I have L it's your
[8:11] job a few updates for
[8:24] you this is a timetable for the you the
comprehensive ility
[8:30] plan that was awarded to um TRC
Incorporated engineering
[8:36] firm and we've got a meeting scheduled
for Wednesday November 1st to review
[8:42] some of the data that's now being
uploaded into a share Drive between us
[8:47] and the county um and even a
representative from the Wooten company
[8:51] is sending in some information about the
um work that was done back in
[8:57] 2017 excuse me
so um this timetable shows what will be
[9:04] done if you look at the contract the
various tasks in the contract and what
[9:10] dates those will be completed and we'll
be holding meetings throughout the
[9:15] next several months including into
2024 and if everything goes as planned
[9:22] which I don't see any reason why it
shouldn't this should come to you for a
[9:26] final presentation at the August Council
meeting in
[9:34] 2024 anybody have any questions about
this just want you to have a copy of it
[9:40] for your reference Le are they having
any problems getting the information
[9:45] from the county and then no um the two
representatives of the county Shandra
[9:50] farmer and um Kim rer are on the share
drive with us and so everybody's putting
[9:56] in all the data and then once we meet on
that in November and move for
[10:05] in um the second thing that I wanted to
talk to you about I mentioned it last
[10:10] month the Triangle East Chamber of
Commerce the subcommittee that I'm on
[10:14] for economic development has hired
livability for promoting areas in the
[10:22] county and as I mentioned to you they
were supposed to be getting me some
[10:26] information on costs for ads we're
hoping that if we can go ahead and set
[10:33] with them what ad we want to do that by
the time we start The Branding and Logo
[10:40] project that will be completed before
this is publicized in the spring of
[10:45] 24 so most of these are going to range
in in the area that's under my threshold
[10:52] um so I'm probably just going to work
with this is a lot of information that
[10:56] they sent to me I think that you want to
copies of all of this information but it
[11:00] just gives some examples of other towns
and how they Market themselves
[11:08] especially if there aren't a lot of
businesses in the towns yet which is our
[11:13] case but we do have a couple of
developers that we're working with that
[11:17] will probably put some stuff in this
livability publication about the
[11:22] developments that are going up
especially the mixed used ones to try to
[11:27] Market some of the areas for and
Commercial and then of course we'll have
[11:32] our information in there about our
demographic operation what's coming
[11:37] Transportation all that kind stuff so I
just wanted to update you on that again
[11:42] I did get that from her now there's some
of them that go the premium rates for
[11:46] several Pages go all the way up to tens
of thousands but we're not looking at
[11:51] anything like that right now right now
we just want to make sure we get our
[11:55] name out there hopefully after our
branding um so I just wanted to update
[12:01] you on that
too the community engagement project
[12:05] that we've talked
about before with um with the department
[12:11] heads and all of the staff when we had
our meeting we did meet a few weeks ago
[12:17] and assigned teams for the five top
short-term
[12:22] goals and this is just a summary of
those meetings and I wanted you to each
[12:28] have a copy of
[12:31] that um this basically just talks about
what we went over what we felt like we
[12:37] wanted to accomplish with this community
engagement project talking about why
[12:41] change may or may not be hard especially
in the public sector and given priority
[12:47] to some of our brainstorming ideas so
our top priority short-term goals
[12:51] between now and the end of the year deal
with volunteers for different events and
[12:57] in the community and surrounding areas
um direct mailing permits in hopes to
[13:03] get more information out to the citizens
utilizing our YouTube and social media
[13:08] which unfortunately tonight we're having
technical difficulties again um
[13:13] digitizing the packets so that not only
cut down on paper but also it's
[13:19] available for the public on the website
and when we get our new Chambers to be
[13:24] able to put it up on the screen so that
the public can see that and working with
[13:31] um area HOAs School sponsored activities
the PTA and other informational meetings
[13:38] around town with different organizations
that give us an opportunity to answer
[13:42] any questions that citizens may have
about what we do and what we're trying
[13:47] to do in the community to get everybody
engaged in a positive way so this is
[13:54] just a summary of that our teams were
created we meet again tomorrow to talk
[13:59] about um what the teams have
accomplished so far on each one of these
[14:05] subjects and we've got a department head
on each one of the five teams and then
[14:13] other staff members with that department
head who are heading up these different
[14:17] projects so I'll keep you updated on
these but if you get to looking through
[14:20] this over the next week or so give me
call if you got any questions and we're
[14:26] excited about a lot of the stuff that

araund yeah the AR that I couldn't think
[16:35] of the name of it so our arpa funds are

wrong place ear marked for the different

excess on utilities The Branding the the
[17:23] um Capital Improvement projects Staffing
plan all of those things are I thought
[17:28] we had already put that out okay that's
what I want to be sure but I I think if
[17:32] you looked in your information from last
month's meeting I gave a summary of um
[17:40] was last month or month before whenever
you awarded the
[17:44] TRC contract because it showed all of
the projects that you earmarked for that
[17:50] AR money this year Le have we heard any
more from representative Strickland
[17:57] office
um we did hear that as soon as they can
[18:02] get past all of the red tape with the
governor and whatever else is going on
[18:07] with the speaker of the house that they
will that that we've got everything that
[18:12] that we request that should go through
so once it's
[18:14] approve everything she go through but so
there's not an issue on our end it's
[18:19] just an issue in trying to get
everything approve and that may have
[18:23] happened Friday or today I honestly
hav't had a chance to I don't know but
[18:28] we we've got what we
[18:31] asked that last thing you we did get
what we
[18:38] asked for for them to give it to us for
the budget to be approved and them to so
[18:44] it's in that budget but the the budget
may have been approved do anybody did
[18:47] anybody see that over the last week or
so for tomorrow okay thank you okay so
[18:52] you're saying the Committees have
approved it's gone through the house and
[18:55] the Senate just great okay that's
correct in the budget that'll take care
[18:59] of that one line item that we had to
borrow for it should take care of that
[19:04] and funding for a new police department
at our
[19:08] campus oh
really we we hope that that amount will
[19:13] cover it if not it will pretty much it
will be a big chunk of
[19:18] it we we asked we asked big when we I
guess does that excite the chief or does
[19:24] the chief happen to really like where he
is it really okay
[19:28] all
[19:31] right any other questions about the
finance
[19:36] report thank you okay
Wendy planning
[19:49] department there any questions about the
monthly reports that you have in front
[19:55] of
you not a whole lot of change from last
[19:58] month for this month on that I see that
on the Cottages that the developer is
[20:04] now Contracting out items obviously he
has to contract them out uh and I see
[20:09] the one home that was just the backyard
was eroding out onto the street and
[20:15] clogging up the uh the sewer has finally
gotten saw there I don't know who put
[20:19] that there but it stopped that erosion
which is very nice so my remaining
[20:24] question with respect to that
development is the uh retention fond
[20:29] um he has more than just the fencing to
do on that and he's supposed to be
[20:35] getting all of that stuff together okay
when I say fencing I mean obviously for
[20:39] the retention fonds you know for the
safety side of but I want to bring up
[20:42] the other part that he promised to do in
in instead of a vegetation barrier he
[20:49] changed it per you to a six foot white
priv plastic privacy fence when is that
[20:54] going to go through I have neighbors
asking me about it he was supposed to
[20:58] have already been working on trying to
get that contracted out okay I know from
[21:03] another project going on in town that
there is await on that fencing some of
[21:09] it um is back ordered I guess depending
on who you go through so it's not the
[21:15] contractor it's waiting it's the uh the
product that's my understanding that's
[21:22] has he selected a contractor yet has he
selected a contractor
[21:28] he told me he had when did you say that
two weeks ago okay did he tell you who
[21:35] it was
no thank
[21:42] you anyone else have questions for
[21:48] Wendy we have an action in front of us
that needs to we need to call for a

70 it's approximately

to go from agriculture to Commercial and
[22:26] it would be a general rezone which means

allowed there if it is
[22:36] approved um we must have a public
hearing called for and held before the

Mr adulter out of gold I haven't yet say
[32:34] again no I haven't caught him yet we
have we have plenty of nuts and bolts
[32:37] right now for everything we're
using well you know I'm referring I'm
[32:42] using nuts and bolts as just a sample an
example but not yet headlights and blood
[32:47] nut Stu we're not to that stage yet okay
um what would you say what what stage
[32:52] are we at with respect to your
capabilities on the maintenance side of
[32:56] town not not Mowing and things like that
I mean tires brakes what give me a quick
[33:02] rundown like
that uh some of the small stuff we do
[33:06] now name name those that's what I'm
looking for uh me and Tony just done our
[33:10] oil changes on our truck the other day
Okay oil changes we do some tires do we
[33:13] keep the filters in stock uh I do have a
couple extra in stock okay um the tires
[33:19] I do for the PD a lot of times I keep
spare tires there on rims on rims can we
[33:24] we have the capability to mount them yet
no not yet you looking to do that yes in
[33:29] the future yes uh but we take them back
with blacks and I have them patched or
[33:33] replac and I just keep like I keep some
at stock okay I have some for the Taho
[33:39] some for the newer Chargers and then one
for the older charger too we doing
[33:43] anything belts I mean years ago you you
needed to keep belts because they would
[33:47] break fairly often but nowadays they'
changed a little bit so we don't have
[33:50] belts and stock okay um all right oil
changes brakes you said done break we
[33:58] can do break okay I get some else in
there we can start doing more stuff
[34:07] hopefully I um
Patrick had four tires fixed for what do
[34:14] you mean by fixed um if they have
something in them I take them over there
[34:19] to give them either patch or replace the
black I I and and this is just my
[34:24] recommendation um you know looking back
at the that Chief's report
[34:30] um if if they got an emergency I just
don't like
[34:34] patching emergency tires um you know I
guess I guess and I'm not a mechanic
[34:40] even but you know I mean if you have to
put a plug in it and they're going 80 BS
[34:45] per hour or whatever to to respond to PO
o or or to help another officer I mean I
[34:51] just want to make sure that it's the
safest if if there's something in it
[34:55] replace it this not the safest to plug
it you know what I'm saying that's the
[35:00] reason why we patch them we patch them
from the inside we don't put plugs from
[35:03] the outside they take the tire off and
then it's actually P flued into the
[35:08] inside I don't plug tires
ons thank you
[35:15] for can you say something else that's
going to help me because I forgot what I
[35:18] was going to say and I need a
second never mind oh yes I do I'm sorry
[35:24] it's for chief real quick chief are we
getting to that point in the year where
[35:29] you're going to present to
us um the vehicle Report the status

to the timing of the lights and we're
[39:04] going to talk to do about it and we did
is it possible to bring this up yeah
[39:10] there you go bring this up to do that's
a good point I don't know if I've ever
[39:13] heard that talking sign on 70 for it
will be it will be but it won't be done
[39:19] until 70 i42 is completed and they
change the signs because there'll be
[39:24] signs hanging down right before the
bridge act yeah do we need to remind
[39:30] them that we're here and we wanted that
up there but see Lanna is on Highway 7

that will present it to them so I mean I
[39:49] knew that there's the the do sign the do
sign that you're referring to will be
[39:56] put up by the do based on where the
exits take
[40:01] people during our branding and Logo
stuff once that is complete one of the
[40:07] things that we talked about for that is
way finding funds so there will also be
[40:12] signs like um the big blue sun say Town

[40:20] that part of what you were talking about
as
[40:25] well
[40:28] yes that's do
[40:35] that's yeah they're probably not going
to change it now because they're only
[40:39] about a year away from that being
finished and everything will be Chang
[40:42] based on what the service roads and the
exits on and off there at Wilson Mills
[40:47] Road and Swift freek Road will be well
we're talking signage what's the latest
[40:51] on the community park and the dog parks
