[0:00] 21st 2024 we're glad you're here welcome to the Woodin town of Woodin Town

[0:05] council meeting the first thing we do is to approve the agenda I want to make one

[0:11] point on the agenda p in front of you a section was added called G it's normally

[0:16] in our packets but there's one item item G5 it's ABC reports even though we have

[0:22] Tom from ABC the chair of the board here he's not going to be talking about the

[0:27] items included

[0:31] so it leads me to believe that perhaps next month a new business we should

[0:35] consider moving our ABC report dates CU you all only met yesterday and asking

[0:39] you to come today to me doesn't seem to make sense but just wanted to make sure

[0:45] you understand what should be Ved so is there a motion to approve the agenda or

[0:49] any amendments

[0:53] thereof all in favor say I I thank you very much item C is the consent agenda

[1:00] and the way we work it unless you have a question I'm going to talk about those

[1:04] items they in the pack does anybody war or feel the need to discuss any of the

[1:08] items in the consent agenda we can do that if you want

[1:13] to and is there a motion to approve the consent

[1:18] second all say I great thank

[1:23] you now that it is 5:03 p.m. we're going to do what we I think is our favorite

[1:28] and we're going to have public comments um is there anyone here who wants to

[1:33] address the Town Council by we have a list to sign up but I think I know

[1:46] everybody all right it is a serious time and we really I really wish Mor thank

[1:53] you there is no one so we're going to close public comment at 50:4 p.m. and

[1:57] move to section on the agenda uh Tom Spradley the chair of the board of ABC

[2:03] store equin please thank you for being here thank you very much

[2:10] toce

[2:14] May thank you very for the opportunity

[2:25] to First really

[2:30] something something already know I'm sure this year payments have

[2:44] increased do that

[2:50] traic um we

[2:54] also had an opportunity to we have position coming up it's I'm reti and we

[3:06] had the opportunity

[3:09] toie

[3:16] Wester very great experience she reti vice

[3:22] president

[3:30] and we believe should be real asset choose

[3:42] to question last year we were very forunate we

[3:49] had I hope this year but I don't think this year we lost

[3:56] anything because we have only one I don't

[4:11] and will that be sent to

[4:18] us

[4:24] well um getting to the finances of Sals uh

[4:32] we're U we're flat again this year we'll do about

[4:45] 2.6 well we got two months to go I don't see a different but April was extremely

[4:53] goodth we were up 4.8% uh and

[5:00] uh we perform better than the state for's average

[5:11] of9 that most not

[5:18] mixed

[5:25] 2,00 which was

[5:33] prob thank very

[5:39] much that H everybody surprise

[5:46] AC

[5:50] Prov I would

[5:55] say post

[6:07] that's

[6:23] that's be appoint new board member we also

[6:39] and uh Jackie Craig one of our board members

[6:45] Chief most C for chair and if you ask me a question she's here to answer

[7:00] but uh but

[7:06] that's those Village there was a a Mexican Guatemalan restaurant that had

[7:11] other locations in town serving the alcohol they were unable to get their

[7:15] hard their license is it really that complicated or when a restaurant owner

[7:20] says we weren't able to get it is there always something that we don't know is

[7:25] there always a good reason for somebody not getting it our usual

[7:30] situation I I don't know what the usual situation I would think most

[7:37] thec but there are some regulations on approve

[7:50] new it almost a year without giving an

[7:55] answer or it normally the answer come sooner than

[8:05] no I don't know that that would be we were just disappointed if po here a lot

[8:10] of real estate and when it closed was well

[8:16] I I would be dis I am disappointed to find out it takes that law because I

[8:21] wouldn't think like everybody else here somewhat short I don't know about the

[8:27] regul regulation section I know the audited section had one auditor that

[8:33] covered the entire State and

[8:42] that's let ask one other question we have a new hotel that's been under

[8:46] construction for seven years you know the one I'm talking about it's had

[8:51] various signs on it now it says holidan express their parent company said I'm

[8:55] wrong they are not opening and withing I'm assuming it's hot going to have a

[9:00] bar I know this well ium they will I hope they will

[9:07] but by here the hotel has been sold

[9:15] again and I know

[9:20] that one of the princi one of the managers cross the

[9:28] street speak to general manager and uh he was

[9:36] asking she she knew ready to get some employees

[9:43] and of

[9:52] course assume that had something to do is it years like

[10:01] uh okay thank you other questions

[10:15] for first of all um do I understand that you're retiring from the board or just

[10:21] asair from the from the board and thank you for your service a lot of us sort of

[10:28] thing invol in how thankless sometimes that is um I guess my first question is

[10:38] and

[10:41] may process for appointing a

[10:51] board possib present name name or they people

[10:59] to council and

[11:03] counil vot onment well that's there's U on the

[11:09] website on the town's website there's a place to apply for board positions and

[11:15] committee positions and that's posted

[11:21] so anybody do it in years past uh we managed to find somebody to be on the

[11:29] board have them put in an

[11:34] application this past

[11:44] year does that mean that the current board might um Talk amongst themselves

[11:49] and then say oh this person recommend this person people to counil counil nin

[11:59] well we were asked to give our opin

[12:05] but

[12:14] counil suest app on own

[12:35] [Music]

[12:48] council members have

[12:55] opion a couple more questions

[13:00] 2.6 million that receips that 2.

[13:09] milon andine

[13:14] that 100% ofet profits are donated to the work is that correct uh that's

[13:21] correct there a there's a percentage uh that comes off the top set

[13:27] aside off the after we paid police and after we paid

[13:35] for the alcohol treatment

[13:40] actually to First Step Farm as our contribution

[13:47] to the charity after that a percentage of that set aside from the town and then

[13:54] if there's poets beyond that well that then

[14:01] aside

[14:05] working and there's a limit on how much

[14:20] Works certain

[14:29] our operating expenses we got money go to various

[14:38] places but the town it before a certain

[14:49] percentage Ma

[15:16] know I just add two things to that

[15:25] term um

[15:31] when you look at what various ABC boards contribute to the

[15:38] towns uh there's a wide variation it makes a huge amount I mean

[15:46] doll each St these store is roughly the same size car same ver because that's

[15:54] what we here and prices are all

[15:59] you can't advertise

[16:04] so the big difference in what comes down bottom line

[16:14] to is determined by our gross sales

[16:20] primary and so there's a tremendous amount of Leverage that we can handle a

[16:25] lot more traffic than we our has been emplo just because of nature job about

[16:33] as many employees as any other s about the same

[16:39] size about the same but but the more you more traffic

[16:46] push most of it goes to the bottom line it's

[16:51] wonderful so so send us

[16:57] CS question thank you very much and congratulations

[17:02] on

[17:09] retirement

[17:12] thanks let us see you in the asille

[17:17] we next we have uh our partner land Sky Regional Council Ian B is here tonight

[17:24] uh in our comprehensive plan we emphasized improving our Environmental

[17:29] and trying to move to nonoss fuel sources uh Ian is a specialist for land

[17:34] of sky in electronic vehicles and charging what the different kinds are

[17:40] how much they cost to build where they are and he's going to give us a brief

[17:52] presentation your slides are on the website that we can look at if

[18:22] worse

[18:27] there for

[19:17] okay good I got it

[19:41] they share all

[19:44] [Music]

[19:50] right okay you're being live stream okay I presentation um but thank you

[19:59] mayor mallister and the council for having me uh again my name is Ian Bailey

[20:05] uh I'm a regional planner for ly Regional Council and my primary work

[20:10] there is with the L Sky clean vehicles Coalition uh what we do is encourage

[20:16] alternative fuels use uh in Fleet and uh municipality use as well as in

[20:24] individual and users uh electric vehicles have become a very big that in

[20:29] the last half dozen years and so that has encapsulated a lot more of our work

[20:35] we also work with propane compressed natural

[20:39] gas hydrogen when it comes um biodiesel any of the any of the alternative fuels

[20:46] um specifically non non fossil fuel based

[20:52] stuff sure so the

[20:57] uh tonight I'm going to talk about new kind of electric cars um it's a to Hot

[21:02] Topic right now A lot of people are talking about policy and a lot of people

[21:07] are talking about progress with the transition to

[21:11] electrification and so I'm going to start with some basic facts um from the

[21:16] history of electric cars um we're actually going to go a

[21:19] little further back the M the 1700s uh steam cars started to appear on

[21:25] the scene and replace uh course and and Buggies as the main transport

[21:33] never had to advance my own sp else

[21:38] always um and and at that point in time Ste was considered a tried and true

[21:44] power source which sound pretty familiar we hear that a lot today about coal we

[21:48] hear a lot about gasoline and tried through energy source

[21:53] that has long since been reliable and Transit factories as a power source

[21:59] uh downside being that steam Vehicles could take up to 45 minutes to get

[22:03] started if it was cold and they required frequent water RS to keep

[22:09] running in 1841 an electric locomotive was

[22:14] campaigned that was able to pull six tons a mile and a half at 4 milph and

[22:19] that was the first real demonstration of electrification and insort

[22:25] power uh in 1859 chargeable batteries came onto the

[22:30] scene that really started to change kind of the the methodology for electric

[22:37] transportation um in 1890 fellow named Willie Morrison in De

[22:42] Mo Iowa built a six passenger electric vehicle that would travel 14 M hour and

[22:50] had 50 m range um those Vehicles required the

[22:55] batteries to be changed after the drve have we didn't we didn't have enough

[23:01] battery stock at that point

[23:05] um and Philadelphia in 1896 so a handful of years a company called electr started

[23:13] to produce electric vehicles and it was the first commercially viable EV uh and

[23:18] actually raced those cars against some of the existing stock of other

[23:24] automobiles on the road were able to beat down on 5 m

[23:29] anybody here has ever had a ride or driven an electric

[23:32] vehicle that they have all of the door

[23:38] um between 1900 and 1906 a company called the electric vehicle company

[23:44] operated over 600 EV cabs in New York City they built the first battery

[23:49] swapping station that they could pull the cars in and quickly swap batteries

[23:54] between them and send them right back out on the road to carry passengers

[23:57] again uh an investment partner in that project

[24:02] became the exi battery corporation which is still one of the largest battery

[24:07] manufacturers in the world and another partner in that named

[24:13] po developed the columia brand was the first automobile manufacturer to build a

[24:18] th automobiles

[24:23] um then there are the gasoline cars came on the scene

[24:28] were complicated to drive they were hard to start they were noisy they were

[24:32] smelly there weren't any of the things that the electric cars even the steam

[24:35] cars people knew were but then Henry for came in this picture and with the Model

[24:42] T he overtook the electric cars while being able to provide one the cost of

[24:48] what any of the existing cars any other manufactur

[24:53] processes after that until about 20 years ago rest history

[25:01] so adoption of EVS in the United States uh in

[25:04] 2023 was a record year for the sale of EVS in the United States we more than

[25:09] doubled the number of EVS on the road we sold 1.2 million EVS in the calendar

[25:15] year of 2023 in the United States 7.6% of the new vehicles sold for e in

[25:24] 2023 that was a an insane growth curve for electric vehicles uh in the

[25:31] automotive industry they consider 5% of sales being the threshold between early

[25:38] adopters and becoming mainstream adoptions so in 2023 we actually crossed

[25:43] that 5% thresh where it's starting to look like it's not just people who like

[25:48] new tech or different things or people that are like just really into the

[25:53] environmental more regular people are buying and driving them you keep on the

[25:58] road you'll see that that's the case in this area we' got a lot

[26:03] of North Carolina has been in the top 20 States Nationwide for Ev registrations

[26:10] per capita for the past few years uh our region has seen a 24% growth rate in

[26:17] registrations uh and what that equates to on the math side is there were five

[26:23] times as many EV registrations in land ofy count in 2023 as they were in

[26:35] 2018 so I'll talk a little bit about e charging because this is something that

[26:39] a lot of people hear about and don't really understand there's a lot of

[26:43] information here so I'm just going to try to run through it to keep it fairly

[26:47] basic so e is PR recharge from a variety of electrical

[26:51] sources electricity as a power source is relatively inexpensive especially here

[26:56] in North Carolina some of the lowest rates below average for national average

[27:01] ofle rates it's widely available can be dispensed at home without any special

[27:07] equipment one of the standard charging methods is called Level One charging

[27:13] when you buy an electric car it comes with a cord that has a level one plug

[27:17] and that plugs into just 120 volt wall outl like a regular lamp or your

[27:24] computer um those Chargers between mil of range per hour

[27:30] they charging Level One charging works best

[27:33] for times when the car is parked for many hours of a time for instance I

[27:38] drive my car home I plug it in at night I'm asleep it's charging itself

[27:44] depending on the distance you commute a level one charger may be able to fulfill

[27:49] all of your mileage needs at any given day while you sleep overnight level two

[27:55] charging has become more common type of thing we started to see in shopping

[28:00] centers angles has put them in at some of their locations level two Chargers

[28:05] can also be installed at your home they require a 240 volt circuit like a dry

[28:11] electric range for use they can provide between 10 and 40 m

[28:16] of range per hour depending on the hard of the vehicle and that really is

[28:20] dependent on the circuit the charger the vehicle willing to

[28:24] accept uh level two charging is really ideal when Vehicles park for 30 minutes

[28:30] or more while you're shopping while you're

[28:33] enjoying leisure activities outdoors sporting events or lawyer at home or at

[28:38] work so workplace charging is another place that we're seeing level two being

[28:43] installed DC fast charging is kind of the hot button topic uh that we hear the

[28:48] most about when we hear about infrastructure infrastructure

[28:51] infrastructure on electric vehicle charging B large are talking about DC

[28:56] fast charging fast charging is really ideal for long distance travel of quick

[29:01] top ups and can provide up to 8% of the range of the vehicle in as little as 15

[29:07] minutes again depending on the charger and the vehicle um my vehicle is a

[29:12] little older it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get

[29:17] 80% Sarah my boss's vehicle can do that same charge in 18

[29:22] minutes um DC fast driving works really well in

[29:27] places people might stop for a bathroom break or a meal or a short shopping trip

[29:33] a grocery store convenience store um DC also tends to be the most expensive form

[29:38] of charging requiring special equipment and electric utility

[29:42] support um on the average I would say traveling on the road I pay about $5 to

[29:48] $18 for 200 miles range DC F which balances out to about 30 m per

[29:56] gallon G doing that on gas even if we were

[30:02] going to build a DC Bass Station B Town Hall can you make up a ballpark what

[30:08] what do those things cost to construct starts at about

[30:11] $50,000 um if it's not Fally funded you can keep it low if it's Fally funded

[30:18] it's got to meet new requirement that push it up to almost a million

[30:23] do if it's Fally funded it's got to have there's got to be four Chargers and

[30:28] they've got to have a higher rate of current capacity than the lower cost

[30:33] charges

[30:37] G L1 l2c

[30:41] um

[30:45] batteries is there

[30:49] [Music] issue Charing or

[31:00] it very marginally impacts the

[31:05] biggest um battery life harm you can do is keeping the vehicle near 100%

[31:12] charg so the high the high state of charge the battery generates more heat

[31:18] heat is what causes the battery to fail more soon and by more soon I mean many

[31:24] of the EVS on in 2017 from that era are on the road 300,000

[31:33] miles so with exception on Le which didn't have temperature management

[31:39] battery the battery Management systems do a very good job and the cycle ofy is

[31:45] well up thousand of 100% CES soon our our plug in hybrid will be

[31:54] built too

[31:58] if it's a plug in yeah you can charge it on level one orev

[32:04] two some of those

[32:13] come so where we are in charging Western North Carolina is an interesting and

[32:18] challenging point in transportation electrification our region is rich in

[32:22] natural beauty clean air and outdor Recreation opportunities and with touris

[32:28] component of our Region's income we find ourselves considerably under stocked

[32:31] when it comes to infrastructure to support our residents and visitors to

[32:35] the area lines of DC fast Chargers and occup charg common Cur across the

[32:42] region and our current inventory of DC fast Chargers is this we have 11

[32:49] locations with a combined 22 PLS that are open to all makes and models of DC

[32:56] fast we have five Tesla Supercharger locations with a combin total of 40 CLS

[33:02] between them now recently for and have open up

[33:07] onto the Tesla Network Char that's

[33:14] helpes this area we have one Riv DC fast charger with one BL and for level two

[33:21] infrastructure we have less than 100 publicly available stations in our FL

[33:25] County region to PLS a large quantity of the listed

[33:31] sites up online HS and those statistics are

[33:38] within which is

[33:42] Madison and up here the image that I've got on the top there is a picture of a

[33:48] proposed DC fast charging map from NC while we're working on the first part

[33:55] of the process we talk about

[34:00] um what's the for to the West what is that the farthest west of Asheville was

[34:08] spotted kind of near Windville is um in reality the map looks a lot more

[34:17] like this this is a prod this

[34:26] map it's a bunch of worms so there's currently two infrastructure funding

[34:31] programs Federal infrastructure funding programs out there the first one is

[34:36] called we call it nevi it's the national electric vehicle infrastructure

[34:41] program uh the second one is called CFI and it's the charging and fueling

[34:45] infrastructure program the ne program is going to be

[34:49] handled through the state BS and so they get allocations North Carolina is

[34:54] getting $109 million and

[34:58] they will have multiple roll outs for different phases of implementation for

[35:02] this doing cor base charg first which is what this map is and so each of those

[35:08] numbered areas are a designated location that they have identified a handful of

[35:14] exits that would be a good spot for an easy fast charger

[35:19] installation um it dictates that the four based charging locations must be

[35:25] within 50 miles of each other they must contain at least four clubs capable of

[35:30] 150 Sous the other program they'll be

[35:34] running out of n is community based charging and we don't have guidelines

[35:39] for what they look like yet probably see that in next

[35:43] year um NC did recently a few months ago release their round one every cluster

[35:49] locations that's this map and it honestly Le a lot be desire for our

[35:54] region um the Western most location identified on here is exit 73 that's

[36:01] old um there's a gap from there to the Tennessee State Bond of you know

[36:07] probably about 73 miles um with no compliant Chargers the only compliant

[36:13] charger that we have in the actual area is a Sam's Club on Patt Avenue and it's

[36:19] more than a mile from our so it's not comp to that it is comp

[36:26] to good new there going to be more so in the second phase of B base charging

[36:33] you'll be filling in gaps in between Lo they did Focus primarily on Roots

[36:40] getting people away from the co for Hurricane and also filling a few gaps

[36:48] are3 Gap

[36:53] there St

[36:58] um bad news about it is that level the round one sites for this NE program

[37:03] aren't expected to be able to mission for probably two to years because it's

[37:09] Federal funding and that means we have to go through a ton of processes and

[37:13] procedures before we can actually break and build thing and there's a lot of

[37:17] checks and balances that have to happen going

[37:22] process the charging fueling infrastructure program is administered

[37:26] by federal highways and as such it's a nationwide

[37:30] competitive funding opportunity it offers both Bor and Community Based

[37:35] opportunties and will be opened up yearly for five years it's about2 and5

[37:39] billion doll in funds in that program that are available we just run round one

[37:45] and awarded that this past fall and land Vehicles Coalition helped to produce an

[37:53] application for round one that NCD The Proposal would supply high speed DC

[38:01] fast charging to five communities west of

[38:04] Ashville almost all of which are actually out of our region but what we

[38:08] were working on is a cross Regional collaboration to end gaps as as any

[38:16] direction go down georgiae our application unfortunately

[38:22] was not funed and we did just get feedback this week on it that it was

[38:26] compe there weren't sufficient funds and we are likely to resubmit that

[38:32] application in this next round but it will either be submitted through us or

[38:36] Southwestern Commission because one thing we noticed in that is that no do

[38:42] applications were funed Ground one all a lot of it was counil of government we

[38:48] actually went with do offer they brought in a consult work with them because we

[38:54] thought that stronger application there's

[39:01] um we're also working with Partners across the region to develop charging

[39:05] projects along major corridors as well as in communities with a goal of apply

[39:09] for opportunities as they arise we're also working with

[39:13] municipalities and business owners infrastructure planning and installation

[39:17] location for construction Happ inorder to prepare those

[39:22] sites on Ro

[39:27] so what can we do there's a lot that you can do in your

[39:32] community to be able to help with the adoption of electrification and

[39:37] transportation and be able to help the community get some of this funding

[39:40] that's coming down from the federal government planning and zoning is a big

[39:44] place that plays into it ensuring that your plan use and development ordinances

[39:49] encourage recharging infrastructure and or supporting infrastructure for future

[39:54] charging installations res es can inadvertently

[39:58] hinder the adoption of new technology and reduce resid abilities to make

[40:02] choices that suit their needs and wants long range planning including

[40:08] having an indepth look at your communties needs for electrification

[40:11] when you're doing strategic and long-term planning processes that can

[40:15] help help you to inform your language in your longterm plan to prepare the

[40:21] community for the increase in need the adoption that is naturally occurring

[40:25] currently in the United States you can Don legislative support as well

[40:30] letting your elected officials and representatives know that our

[40:33] communities are experiencing a rapid growth and need ownership and that we

[40:37] need support for continued investment in infrastructure that's a that's a thing

[40:42] that we run into when we do these applications we do a big application

[40:45] like that we ask for letter of support from all of the elected officials in the

[40:51] areas where that's applicable we have some that dein on that application

[41:00] FAL

[41:04] [Music]

[41:10] support just didn't think it a big use of

[41:15] funds didn't think it was important enough and we honestly we have lots of

[41:21] problems PL places um but because that funding was

[41:27] use of that funding um we can educate ourselves we can educate our communities

[41:33] about like of transportation and how it impacts us we can address the issues and

[41:37] concerns as well as the opportunities in the this and that's what we do at land

[41:42] Vehicles Coalition there's a lot of Outreach a lot of Education a lot of

[41:46] opportunities for people to just check these cars out drive them take a look at

[41:51] them ask the questions ask what you what you think you know about it and you're

[41:55] curious you heard this thing but that's what we do my job is to answer those

[42:01] questions and and to provide real data and information about

[42:07] what's going on with them um you can plan you can consider how your community

[42:12] is impacted by transportation in general and help the transition to new

[42:16] technologies that could be electric cars Bic pedri infrastructure and there's a

[42:22] lot of places to go with that you can coordinate with businesses res and

[42:27] to be prepared for the fing opportunities to come in a lot of times

[42:31] they've got a 20 to 50% match so then it makes sense to have Partnerships where

[42:36] you may have other entities that can put some money into that game and help you

[42:40] make that difference of um experience we host a lot of events at the C Vehicles

[42:46] Coalition throughout the year we do a number of car shows including a couple

[42:50] big car shows of as Outlets every single year uh and we encourage everybody to

[42:55] come out take a ride cars talk to us about the stuff ask all the questions

[43:00] just to you know so when the community comes to you and wants to know what you

[43:04] think about it you're make an informed statement for them um and last is

[43:09] contact you reach out to us with any questions if you need data if you need

[43:15] Publications we've got access to all of the things published by all the National

[43:19] Laboratories all the studies and there's a ton of that ton of

[43:23] those resources out there so when you're looking for a specific thing reach out

[43:28] that's something that can help you to

[43:32] find and so in conclusion with Transportation industry is constantly

[43:37] evolving from Steam Powered and electric cars to gasoline and Diesel back to

[43:42] electric and even on the hydrogen in the future we are all along through ride and

[43:47] it's up to us to understand and plan for how this Evolution changes the way we Mo

[43:52] our residents deserve an equal opportunity to choose the transportation

[43:55] solutions that work for them and our communities deserve Investments that

[43:59] will help Propel us into the future if anybody has any questions here for

[44:04] [Music]

[44:14] questions what's the

[44:18] philosophical emphasis your Coalition on intersection between

[44:23] individual and their char public

[44:32] transportation um the the underlying premise of the entire

[44:38] Coalition is decarbonization of transportation and

[44:41] air pollution reduction sources so we branched

[44:48] outow and whatever else just looking at places where we can reduce our

[44:54] emission across theard

[45:05] going on I have prior to working aty I

[45:20] was they got a micro now on site they're starting toour some electric trim

[45:26] equipment Le and and stuff there's a yeah they're doing a lot

[45:32] of good work we were working on a lot of that stuff time

[45:43] there thank you very much for coming we [Music]

[45:52] appreciate thank youor council members um

[45:57] so to begin uh in the administration department I'd like to report on

[46:01] contracts that have come in in the last 30 days the first two contracts actually

[46:05] go together TSA choice for just under $3,000 for

[46:10] someing work just basically computer infrastructure that we need in our

[46:16] basement as part of our evidence group renovation with that renovation we're

[46:21] adding in office for evidence custodian and processing area we stru to do that

[46:28] work the second contract for CNA Associates is for um some it's a new

[46:35] software mod this is part of not just Improvement

[46:40] evation of the EV a lot of law enforcement agencies are moving towards

[46:45] PS um it's just a very sophisticated well design software for

[46:53] tracking all of your evidence good data ass it a barod

[47:00] system EV scan and it allows us to not only record

[47:07] data about that but track it so that evidence go to a lab support anywhere

[47:20] else is that a cent server or is it a cloud application that

[47:31] server I

[47:35] didn't that means that you're not really configuring it

[47:40] individually each client

[47:50] B hear the question I could hear your vending machine sorry so my question

[47:54] about p is it that you buy and put on maches here

[48:00] clients or is it a application that exists in the cloud that you connect to

[48:06] no it is put into our server here it integrates with the County's

[48:12] arest sorry it is placed on the server here

[48:17] and it integrates with the County's Rec management system so they can speak back

[48:21] and forth with each other but it's it's built and kept in house it's built and

[48:26] kept in is not a third party application that it

[48:31] is a third party B and install it and maintain so that means to me that'll be

[48:38] successive iterations of it over time a client can decide whether or not

[48:43] they want to upgrade or not you may reach a point where you have to upgrade

[48:48] if you want to continue using it similar to other software modules

[48:54] that we use for other applications um this initial contract is for that

[49:00] initial software module getting it installed getting it up and running

[49:10] and I'm

[49:14] assuming I just about I'm assuming that there are several possible solutions and

[49:21] this is the one that these departments in County are using to to

[49:33] Jo Trend in Enterprise software is cloudbased where you don't do

[49:49] own

[49:53] solution that

[49:57] I don't I'm not sure we didn't what we have chosen is all the departments in

[50:03] the county that came together and been uh have gone to this or are going to

[50:09] this system and so during that they're

[50:13] developing a new I guess a central system for us that Central Square has

[50:18] been using now for record management but they're going to a different group so

[50:21] they're trying to make sure they all integrate this pack system so kind of a

[50:26] colletive this is the best one out here this is what we're all going to

[50:35] already uh the current contract small contract Council has been

[50:39] updated before about some of our mod Improvement Community while

[50:44] weac

[50:50] work lien the last contract P construction is

[50:54] for the Church Road project I've reported on this in the

[50:58] past this is our highest priority of our infrastructure identified after church

[51:05] Street for Church Road um we'll look at the entire inventory and and look at the

[51:10] highest priorities and probably do a single contract for the rest but this

[51:13] one was almost you know maybe just short of an

[51:17] emergency situation of course this is budget

[51:22] season so we're also working on the fiscal year 2025 budget manag report

[51:27] sher's going to get up and her budget presentation and then we look forward to

[51:33] adoption next but the big news this month in administration is the Riverside

[51:38] Park progress um this is big Park project as you all know our first round

[51:44] of bids came in quite high so we had to recope the project put it back out to

[51:49] bid but we have the benefit of the first set of so we knew exactly how the design

[51:53] so we can maximize the funding that we have

[51:57] unfortunately though while the bids were very successful and I think the second

[52:00] round worked very well we had to amend the agreement for our grant from the TDA

[52:07] and I say unfortunately only because it just takes time and we're anxious to get

[52:11] the project started in a big meeting last week with all the partners the good

[52:15] news is everybody supports the the res did um and has you know we all talked

[52:22] about how to expedite getting the pro started and so this is example of

[52:27] Community Support around this project and everybody willing to kind CH in and

[52:32] do what they can do to kind make it happen there are steps that have to take

[52:36] there three parties to the agreement B County the T and the town of so we have

[52:41] to kind of go through a process to get all those but it's really goods and we

[52:47] if all goes perfectly um we can potentially be contracts within that

[52:52] first so it could get pushed off a little bit but

[53:00] um moving on to planning planning department and Facilities um we're we've

[53:05] had some really positive feedback about some recent Communications that the

[53:09] department has produced one was the steep slope pamphlet that went out

[53:13] several years ago um another was which was very unexpected was the Manu the

[53:20] manufactured housing advertisements and announcements that we shared with the

[53:24] community so liked the way it was put together they liked the information how

[53:29] was presented very clear very readable so we're trying to take that feedback

[53:33] and see if there's more that we can do um in in on the communication front so

[53:39] we have standard notices that we do with the plan department so we're looking to

[53:43] see how we could apply some of that feedback and those notices that people

[53:48] inform I have a mo

[53:52] feder department is also managing a very heavy increase in applications so if you

[53:58] compare the last 30 days in W to the same time period last year it's

[54:04] about increase it's about three times what we were doing now permitting

[54:10] frequently sort of waxes and wings and you'll go through valys

[54:15] and and Peaks but it is it is it does feel like things are picking up um which

[54:23] is interesting given interest rates and cost ofst right now um I don't know if

[54:28] this is maybe a symptom of just a lot of projects and now just want to wait any

[54:33] long happen if you total those permits just in the last three weeks it's $65

[54:39] million construction value so it's it's pretty

[54:45] significant but they're a little busy if you don't get a quick answer to a

[54:49] question that's

[54:56] I I think it's all over I think there's a few communities that have a little bit

[55:01] more activity so teres is one Springs uh we've had a lot of at City

[55:09] View and then all that been a few yeah so it's

[55:14] kind of it's kind of scattered but in these

[55:19] prly um so looking at facilities of course I've mentioned the community

[55:24] center hbac making Town Hall has also

[55:29] H people

[55:33] back um but hopefully we'll get that all taken care of the repair was complete

[55:38] but now apparently we're to come back adjustments the community center in

[55:43] addition to the renovations or improvements we're also doing clean you

[55:47] know we for many many years stuff has been stored in that building Corners

[55:52] that we didn't even know existed and so now we're having to go C that and so

[55:57] it's been a bigger job than we expected some of it recycle some of it have to

[56:01] Surplus some of it you donate or get so you have to go through the process of

[56:06] figuring out what to do with all you will continue to maintain a

[56:11] portion of the basement

[56:16] at theat go awayer appar and um I don't know if it's

[56:22] gone yet it's gone pluging away um our chief has been on it

[56:29] trying to take care of a lot of these vehicles that been hanging

[56:41] around the basement renovation is nearing completion I think it's going to

[56:45] be completed this month what I was told

[56:51] so St water and parks for St water of course it's the Church Road

[56:56] that is to begin next week and we expect it to take 10 to 20 days we've approved

[57:01] the Lake toown Lane easement PL for storm water so this um the rental

[57:07] Community uh is doing some storm water improvements it's located in the town

[57:11] public road so we

[57:16] to to a access for construction but also forward

[57:23] so the rental Community even though it will be they're going to maintain this

[57:29] pce uh that PRS to begin soon from what I understand they're Hing toed sooner

[57:36] than later and we're going to follow as soon as possible theref with I put it's

[57:46] really we want to get it we just want to make

[57:52] [Music] so for Parks um subber line restrooms of

[58:00] course we need to adopt our current budget because we have budget money tied

[58:03] up um forine rests for next year this next fisc year so we're looking forward

[58:09] getting that project under way once the funding is secur we're going to do the

[58:13] final revisions to the master plan construction the community G community

[58:19] garden agreement was shared with the wood dep Department group that's the

[58:24] plan to updates the park with the community

[58:30] garden they have reached out and are working now withp cities which

[58:35] is andity

[58:43] insur so in the police department um recruitment efforts are ongoing I think

[58:48] when I wrote this slide or I slide Oneal offer I think that's signed we

[58:56] on Bo excited about sopping

[59:02] away evidence room inventory and of course modernization the pack mentioned

[59:07] earlier that is underway I believe the evidence room is going to be wrapped up

[59:11] in the next month we we hope to have the that we hope to our Target date is first

[59:17] of the month but with the construction and such down there it slows down

[59:23] considerably it's also um the are working on that Al responsibilities so

[59:28] if we could them at it and do nothing about that um we be done much sooner but

[59:33] they have to break it up Tak um but that will be wrapping up here

[59:39] soon speed control signage so Council has seen our Mobile sign it's been

[59:45] relocated now off property It's Kind out in community being used we do also have

[59:49] the two fixed signs that will be installed along Highway 21 dve but we

[59:54] have to work with the the location and then they

[1:00:02] also and then lastly I have a couple special recognition of officers now we

[1:00:08] really our Police Department were very fond of all of our officers that do a

[1:00:12] wonderful job very great as day but every once in a while we have something

[1:00:17] that's really special and that we want to share and so a couple special Lo and

[1:00:23] so the first is officer if you don't mind standing um Ian was named officer

[1:00:31] of the year and I don't normally read from this but I want to make sure I

[1:00:35] Capt um this award is presented to an officer through a secret bid vote by all

[1:00:40] of our wood officers to recognized exceptional it honors those who have

[1:00:44] gone above and beyond the requirements of their position or have demonstrated

[1:00:48] Exemplar actions in duties deserving of recognition by their peers and

[1:00:53] supervisors within the preceding calendar year for their service to the

[1:00:57] department and officer Bradley was selected by his

[1:01:01] PE for exemplifying the core values of the police department dedication

[1:01:06] integrity and service in addition to receiving the office of year award also

[1:01:11] received two Excellency Service Awards for his quick and effective action

[1:01:16] addressing s public safety matter and for going above and beyond in assisting

[1:01:20] residents with matter two different actions refed on the

[1:01:26] department in the town and very

[1:01:37] proud so before we move on to the next recognition um I mentioned that you

[1:01:42] received two excellence and Service Awards and so the Excellence and service

[1:01:46] award program was established last year to recognize Town employees for

[1:01:50] exceptional exceptional work to a onetime financial award for specific

[1:01:56] so somebody does something very special and unique and exceptional we want to

[1:02:01] recognize the program's been welled well used issue 29 Awards to different staff

[1:02:07] members across multiple Department some of these awards are small doll some of

[1:02:11] them are lar just there are different categories and levels of award and

[1:02:16] anyone can nominate any other staff member where they feel recognition it's

[1:02:21] not just supervisors nominating their their staff you can

[1:02:26] nominate a coworker you can nominate somebody in department and we

[1:02:31] have um one of the highest levels of recognitions for an employee

[1:02:35] demonstrates extraordinary heroism and that LE it to my next recogition

[1:02:40] so you know whenever you do these kinds of policies these kinds of programs

[1:02:45] there's always that category that really high category that you know you could go

[1:02:49] your entire professional and never recognize anybody

[1:02:56] is

[1:03:03] heroism so I want to introduce Sergeant Jos the day after our first annual wood

[1:03:10] dinner we had a series of heavy rain events that caused officers to be

[1:03:13] dispatched in multiple accidents one of these accidents resulted in an

[1:03:19] overturned car in the creek behind the hot spot near ex 23 the creek was

[1:03:23] carrying an exceptionally High volum water and the car was on side dri

[1:03:29] standing but unable to

[1:03:32] exits officers monitor the situation waiting for the Swift water res to

[1:03:36] arrive however just as the team arrived on the scene and Was preparing the car

[1:03:42] started to move and so starting to kind of

[1:03:46] TI um Sergeant acted quickly jumped into the creek using a fallen tree to reach

[1:03:52] the other of man securing him in a life bu and helping

[1:03:57] um we'll never know what might have happened if Josh had act did but we do

[1:04:03] know that the dri alive today Sergeant action water teams time to

[1:04:13] prepare so you might not be able to see we're sitting but Josh is in

[1:04:22] boot Ser thank you that's awesome so this this is an injury that's the result

[1:04:29] of debris pinning his leg against or underwater while he's in the

[1:04:34] water so these water situations are very dangerous situations

[1:04:41] and would not have been wrong to stand by and continue to monitor the situation

[1:04:46] and not um this is a Jud call it's a

[1:04:50] judgment our officers and other officers have to make from time to time very J

[1:04:56] for upholding the value of protecting and serving thej isn't wor it is and can

[1:05:12] be next time I do pictures I had a feeling if I tried to

[1:07:18] recognition the town um over the course of the last several years worked on the

[1:07:24] with together plan that plan was completed and approved by this Council

[1:07:30] so um we're very happy to have that uh as a guide for the U Town Direction in

[1:07:39] the next few years we completed the town hallil study to help us identify s and

[1:07:46] exactly what direction we wanted to head with the town hall replacement

[1:07:52] project uh we completed the water mapping assessment and initiated a list

[1:08:00] of high priority repairs and items that and talk

[1:08:05] about way we constructed the fin construction on the Public Works salt

[1:08:11] shed to replace the old shed uh we negotiated a new health insurance uh

[1:08:17] package for the town employees that Prov savings to the town and expens

[1:08:26] that have depend covered under our health plans that they pay a lot of cost

[1:08:48] wh green blueway project we're very excited about the um the start of

[1:08:55] construction on the wave and the park and the near future and so have made a

[1:09:00] lot of progress with with that project we completed a lease agreement for with

[1:09:07] the school for Community Center and think that will be great use for that

[1:09:12] facility Andes and our commun that um to use

[1:09:18] their services for educating children we completed

[1:09:23] a we established to create Community gain space at Park which um will be a

[1:09:30] great asset for the residents we um participated in the successful

[1:09:36] resolution of the Robinhood development land use case that this year so um very

[1:09:45] happy about that and secur grant funding for the

[1:09:50] we with Greenway feasibility stud w b and indrian plan um that has already

[1:10:00] picked off and then um re establish that's a lot of um accom for

[1:10:09] this year to yes I'd like to make a comment a compliment I was fortunate

[1:10:15] enough to attend a meeting of several seven local area Mayors and as soon as

[1:10:20] we sat down they on the T me even ex manhammer said I'd love jobs with you

[1:10:26] and several of the other Mayors said yeah what's going on in Wood everybody

[1:10:30] everything seems to be happening in Woodin these days and I told him Mr

[1:10:34] because we got the better staff in the police department in the area that's

[1:10:38] exactly why and I believe that so thank

[1:10:43] you uh the budget is consists of it consist of revenues and expenses um

[1:10:48] revenue on the revenue side um this slide kind of shows you the patter of

[1:10:56] Revenue received over the last five years we we've had a pretty steady

[1:11:01] increase year year U this year and the year before not so not so much of growth

[1:11:10] as we saw right after um but still steady uh strong

[1:11:16] increases in Revenue major sources of revenue in in our budget are property

[1:11:21] taxes and and sales tax and then a few other things that I'll highlight

[1:11:28] on the um property tax side we are asking in the budget to hold the

[1:11:34] property tax rate steady at 33 for another year you all are aware that next

[1:11:40] year is reevaluation here so you'll have some some hard decisions to make

[1:11:45] regarding Sal and we will provide a lot of information for you on that as we go

[1:11:50] into our budget workshops next year on the offers and those

[1:11:56] um everything's available do that for this FIS Year we're asking to hold

[1:12:01] the tax rate

[1:12:06] at each ta

[1:12:11] also generates about

[1:12:15] $121,000 of Revenue at current assessment value in

[1:12:20] town uh you can expect that to grow a little bit over the next year mention

[1:12:25] ear that we

[1:12:30] [Music] devel

[1:12:37] tax

[1:12:44] to, an example of how that would affect typical residents and Woodin uh

[1:12:51] the Medan house sales PR is is in the mid 50s today but um I pull out this

[1:12:59] slide that we used updated the current tax rate on a $300,000 home the resent

[1:13:08] would pay a total of

[1:13:11] $2,817 sales tax 49.8 go to

[1:13:18] County 33 and then fire district is 5 who sets the fire

[1:13:29] district the fire district proposes that their

[1:13:39] count that's a number of fire district districts within the town of wood so

[1:13:44] there are multiple scenarios of this but most of our resal

[1:14:03] 339 sales and use tax is the second highest revenue that supports Town

[1:14:09] operations and provided this slide just to sort of give you an idea five years

[1:14:14] ago we were a little less than a million dollar a year sales tax

[1:14:19] 995,000 next year we're projecting to get 2,500,000 so there's

[1:14:27] been a lot of growth in over the last um 5

[1:14:31] years population wise and and also

[1:14:36] um businesses and tourist in the area that

[1:14:43] purchase um that's

[1:14:48] distribut um for several years after Co 202 2021

[1:14:56] we saw exord growth in the sales tax revenue that's really slowed down a very

[1:15:03] minimal growth over last year this year we be right our budget for this year and

[1:15:09] we projected a very small increase for next

[1:15:14] year I'm curious about the in March is that December collections I I put that

[1:15:21] on there because it's kind of interesting to see we reive sales tax

[1:15:25] monthly so we can we can kind of show where we were each month collection

[1:15:31] marks there I think you know that's there's a lot of spring break travel in

[1:15:36] March and people spending money on um holidays and things of that nature is

[1:15:44] what I believe up in March we always see a decline in May and then goes back up

[1:15:50] in so um I find those things with that kind

[1:15:57] of so far this yearely

[1:16:06] the so um in total we we adopt our Revenue budget by major source of so

[1:16:12] this is our proposed budget for fisc year 2025 I included last year's budget

[1:16:19] and our projected Revenue a reference and that also included

[1:16:25] uh expansion budget column that $849,000 is the fund balance

[1:16:38] [Music]

[1:16:42] appropriation on the expenditure side you'll see a similar growth pattern in

[1:16:48] expenditures from over the last five years the red in the last year

[1:16:53] represents the expansion things that are not part of our base

[1:16:58] operating budget year over

[1:17:02] year and that includes the $600,000 reserve

[1:25:19] this community and general has also some of that we continue to solicit

[1:25:26] grants and have a couple of big grants in the work that we to on

[1:25:34] [Music] this the that was new to the budget last

[1:25:42] year was the town storm water Enterprise fund it's our only Enterprise fund it's

[1:26:14] that fund f baling water

[1:26:20] um repairs capital or oper

[1:26:34] it's super helpful

[1:26:39] meeting any question thank you very much Wonder job thank

[1:26:45] you okay new business orance

[1:26:51] 202 request Town plan almost 1 and2 Acres

[1:26:57] off the gold Marshall Road from transitional District

[1:27:01] to AR 2 it's pin number is on the agenda I

[1:27:05] don't any repat that may introduction

[1:27:12] here speaking here

[1:27:17] onine anyway uh as you said it's a 1.45 Acres uh it says on the tax card of old

[1:27:25] Marshall Highway uh but as we move to the map

[1:27:28] you'll see this is kind of like an island that's inside another property

[1:27:33] that's kind of back from the back 40 of a large attractive land that's

[1:27:39] surrounded by r21 so as the way orientation you see uh future i26 f the

[1:27:45] center right of the screen uh all the red zoning to the far right is weille

[1:27:51] Road uh that's CS and of course you see you hop the highway and you got this big

[1:27:57] green r21 area uh that is actually that's about 100 Acre parcel that's the

[1:28:04] campfire lodging track a big portion of that undeveloped and we have a couple

[1:28:10] three or four little islands of land and the town I believe got this correct 28 a

[1:28:19] donation and it it's really uh hard to get to I'll photos you'll see it's

[1:28:27] really an island with woodlands and very steep um I walk went up there to post a

[1:28:33] sign actually went with me it's very rugged it's probably more similar to

[1:28:37] what you find in really like verant Matana or

[1:28:42] Serenity than here that's transitional uh there's two homes uh

[1:28:49] just to the Northwest uh you have to walk down in there that black line

[1:28:56] doesn't really there like Trails or loging roads there's not really a way to

[1:29:01] get in there to I can find so that's the context is it's very

[1:29:07] ruged there's no water lines there's no sewer lines um a transitional zoning

[1:29:14] District in this location the back um that's going to light on the map is more

[1:29:20] like spot zoning so if we were to dispose of the property the town where

[1:29:26] to pursue that aside this KN this know the case it would be good to have that

[1:29:32] more aligned with what's already around it and limit potential uses so as you go

[1:29:38] through a jewel Z you want to think about what can go in there is it not

[1:29:43] just the my right the special use permits and The Limited uses r21 is

[1:29:48] going to be one home say one home not sub any F

[1:29:57] either can you confirm it does have an easement of some kind yeah there is an

[1:30:03] easement I think Mar worked on some research sh too I think we haven't

[1:30:09] mapped it we haven't had survey but there was an easement in the chain

[1:30:15] title but it Tak a lot of more effort to get in

[1:30:19] there but that allows it to be marketed it it does sounds like

[1:30:26] it and as we said last month we do have a feature L map now so just as a way of

[1:30:33] showing that M to you uh this live tan area that surrounds it is residential

[1:30:39] too it's more of a low medium residential district or land use area

[1:30:45] typified by Dex single family on larger lots and public ruged areas

[1:30:54] see here on the bottom right kind of getting the sunny Ridge you know that's

[1:30:58] a little higher elevation area as well so that kind of matches up

[1:31:04] here there any questions so far I'm trying to go fast but it's should be

[1:31:09] hope straightforward uh so just some

[1:31:12] considerations when you're thinking about this track uh going to r21 would

[1:31:17] eliminate the spot zoning of TR uh it would be more conducive to the

[1:31:23] work development time if somebody was build back there cuz then there's no

[1:31:29] water or sewer nearby uh the slope is 38 and a half% that's pretty delal steep uh

[1:31:38] and outside of the fact that it's landl Ste sub fur you have to have one

[1:31:55] and the plan board justment did review it at their April 2 meeting uh didn't

[1:32:00] have a lot of questions about the track of the transitional District itself and

[1:32:05] what how to get there with r21 they F Pur so they V in

[1:32:12] favored

[1:32:16] Z and sta with that just that sping
