just really don't know right now. >> Yeah. >> It's up the corner from my house. It's already been to the planning commission. They they approved it and sent it on to us. So, what is council's >> got a motion in a second? >> Can I speak?
>> Yes, you can, please. >> Thank you very much, Mr. Griffin. I'm sorry. I was on last week during your meeting, so I didn't get a chance to be at the planning meeting. >> I I did see that planning had approved it. Um the state does require uh a couple of other questions that they uh
didn't get an opportunity to ask. Just is the property owned just by your you and your your wife and is there a lean holder? Any kind of a mortgage holder? Okay, so you own it outright. The reason for the question is that if it if there was a bank loan, the state sees them as
owners as well and they would require everybody to approve the the uh the split and then all the property taxes up to date on it. >> Oh yeah. >> Okay. Very good. Uh, and then there's three. Uh, there's only one thing that I would just uh encourage that I'm not sure planning got into because it was
really just about a split. It looked like if you go on the Bay County Properties appraiser, there's a fair amount of trees and and foliage on that property. Is that right, sir? >> There was. Yes. >> Okay. Just just make sure that you're aware of the uh there there's three
things. There's there's the protected trees here in Parker. If you if you live there and you had it homesteaded already, uh there's certain exceptions that you enjoy, but if you're a builder, then there's certain other rules like tree replacement programs that you have
to employ. And then the state does have a very specific requirement for uh toiera trees. Uh so just be careful if there's any of those on the property. Those are big time fines if they're taken down improperly. Okay. And then dog wids. Anything more than three
inches has to be transported or moved. >> Okay. >> Okay. Just be aware of that. Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Got a motion in a second. >> Mford. >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel. >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney. >> Yes. >> Mayor Pro. Yes. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> Mr. Summerland has put this on the agenda. He's got three vehicles uh that he would like to send to auction and he needs the council's approval to send them to get what we can get out of them >> to declare declare them surplus so we
can send them. >> You have to surplus. >> We still have to auction. >> Yeah, we still have to auction. We'd have to have an auction ourselves and pay somebody to do it. >> Yeah, it would be. But it's easier for
what? >> It has to go to auction. We have to put it out there for the public to view it. And >> since we're getting rid of these, do we already have replacements for them or >> Yes, the replacements are here. >> So, it's already been paid by the budget. Okay.
>> Yep. So we need a motion to declare them surplus. >> Got a motion. Second. Take a vote, please. >> Miss Bifford. >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel. >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney. >> Mayor Pro. >> Yes. That was quick.
Mr. Chapel, do you have anything you would like to talk about or tell anybody? The only thing I've got uh is that uh the citizens need to take a look at our new
ballpark over there where we're in progress of putting the new playground equipment up. And uh we appreciate uh anybody that you see trying to vandalize her or something like that to either
give the police a call or something because uh for some reason we got some people to like to vandalize things and uh we're trying to improve Parker here and we got these vandalism here go around.
It cost us money to fix whatever they destroy. So you see anybody trying to destroy things, please let us know because I try to tour the city every day to look for things. But uh a lot of this
stuff happens at night and uh although we do have cameras all over. So that's just Mr. Sant, how many cameras are over there on that area?
>> Where the where the equipment is? >> You've got you've got four up front and then you've got two stationary on the barn and you've got five up front. Now, we just added another on the tennis court.
Someone took a all the way across. So, you've got five up front and then you've got two stationary on the pool and then two by the play. >> But that gets >> was just last weekend we had somebody go in there and shatter the toilet seats in the back bathroom, fill the sinks full
of toilet paper and turn the waters on and let the bathroom. You can't you can't catch something like that to you have to sit there and watch the camera the entire day. They're not activated by movement. They just record the whole time. So if you had a time frame of when it possibly happened, you
could narrow it down. But you literally have to sit there and watch three days of film to find out who went in and out of that bathroom. >> We've locked the back back on now because it's just too cold and there's not much activity back there. So we've shut those down. We had a fire in the front one, but we did catch those and
watch how that happened. Like I said, the front >> we started locking down there too also because we have a lot of homeless. >> Well, mayor should be back next year. Let's hope. Thank y'all for coming.
