8
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:24.239
brought that. But I'm still waiting on the uh paperwork on the land that we asked for. Mr. for Ray Ray Curtis and Secretary Jessica sent paperwork to John Hart. We have not heard nothing back

9
00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:44.720
from him owning a piece of property that we're talking about >> that we discussed earlier. >> Yes. And he keeps saying I got a junkyard. I don't have a junkyard fair and I know made numerous calls and

10
00:03:44.720 --> 00:04:08.159
calling him over at his office and nobody calls back. Miss Sherman H asked me to call me. She called me said he called me. He never called no idea what's going on. What property is this? >> The piece of property right under beside

11
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:24.000
my shop from uh B&B Auto Repair. Miss Jessica of Younger Ray Curtis say she sent you a piece of paper said y'all lost the deed to the title or some of the deed or something to the land. Y'all had to figure out what to do to it. >> This matter was supposed to be handled

12
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:40.160
ever since last year. >> Is that the one that they said we had to do the abandonment process and we couldn't just deed it over? >> Right. that if we were to turn it over, it would go to the neighbors and then he could possibly buy it from the neighbors like all the

13
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:56.639
all the um >> I was approved I can buy the piece of property >> you were approved by them but the way the de was titled or whatever it has to be done through an abandonment process where each touching owner >> owner beyond repair >> each owner touching the piece of

14
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:12.880
property where they're portion that they're touching would get half of Right. Going down the line, however many shirt it is, gets div anyways. >> Yeah. Well, at first I was going to buy it all the way to the front to the back and then give the church your piece, >> right? >> But we couldn't do it that way. So, I

15
00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:27.360
just said I would buy the piece that's right under by me and then let them deal with that one. >> Is he able to do that, John? >> We have to go through the complete abandonment process to do anything with it. That'd be on the city. probably have

16
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:45.120
to get the survey and all that. >> No, you are correct. And we said that has to be born by the process have to be born by the person seeking abandonment. But like Antioch owns a big part of that. But

17
00:05:45.120 --> 00:06:00.800
then there's I think two or three other neighbors who would have to I mean they will have the property and they could possibly sell it to him or give it to him. But Antioch is the largest owner of it. But there are like two or three other owners. This I feel like this was

18
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:17.759
two years ago now. >> It's been a while. >> So was >> And that what left what that left him with was such a small strip of land that I understood that there was like it was considered >> it wasn't worth doing. >> It wasn't worth doing the process

19
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:34.400
because it didn't give him over the land the way he had he had hoped. >> I hadn't heard anything else that there was any other this letter. You say letter? >> Yes. Miss Jessica sent you a letter and said >> that was explaining that it had to be

20
00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:49.199
done by the abandonment process. >> Okay. She sent a letter stating that >> at least I guess it's a year and a half to years ago, but I'm pretty sure that's a year ago because I almost got kicked tried to get kicked out from the guy that went in with me and I got him on

21
00:06:49.199 --> 00:07:05.880
fraud case. I got a investigation of fraud going through my shop cuz he made me sign paperwork that wasn't even there or sign. So I got a case of fraud going on with all this other stuff through the sheriff's department.

22
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:25.440
Billy, was that the sorty guy that was here with you before? >> Yes, sir. who I believe that that meeting was saying he was the owner of the propert supposed to been in my name but somehow him and the bookkeeper went and electronically sign my name to a bunch of paperwork.

23
00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:42.000
>> Reason I bring that up because I remember Mr. Dorty came here the last time Billy was here >> and said he owned the property that was going to work for John going through the abandoned part. But come to find out he done a illegal

24
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:58.720
electronic signature and I got him through fraud case through the sheriff's department right now. >> Yes. >> Are you the clear owner of the property now then? >> Yes sir. >> You believe so? >> Oh no I am. I got the deed now. >> Okay. From deep in church.

25
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:14.800
>> Okay. Just check. Just check. >> Yeah. >> Does the city own any of this property? city owns a strip that goes from 19 to I think it's what's that BR street goes right through the church. >> So I was going to buy right by the road

26
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:33.639
and go all the way back and I'm just going to give the church their part that went through the church. >> Always. >> Yeah. Because across the street down they bought all their alleyway to go together. I was just going to buy the whole

27
00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:49.920
>> I can get a cost estimate of what the process would cost the city. >> I can get a cost estimate of what the process would cost the city to go through the abandonment. >> I believe it ended up leaving him like a six foot strip.

28
00:08:49.920 --> 00:09:15.040
It was something very small. This was >> how wide is that strip like 20 foot. 20 to 25 states. >> So is that I mean even with the even with that it's not going to taste the problem.

29
00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:33.920
>> They want me to put a fence up and I don't see why I was obligated to put a fence up and nobody else has to put a fence up. >> They want me to fence my whole space. They want me to fence my whole property over. You can't see it from the highway. I mean, if I was John Hart's buddy that

30
00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:50.200
goes out and sits with him, Jason Campbell, there wouldn't be nothing said. >> They who want you to >> Bruce Griffin and >> his business from the highway appears on a number of cars just

31
00:09:50.720 --> 00:10:07.040
>> let's try to stay with this and let's quit other people. >> We're getting that. >> No, no. I'm just saying I just I don't understand why I should have to put a fence up everybody else in this town. I mean I told you guys from street I

32
00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:22.079
will be fair and do what everybody else does but I'm not the only guinea pig and then the other day they flew a drone over my place and went taking pictures over my place with a drone. >> They can do that police department cuz I went down younger and seen who was

33
00:10:22.079 --> 00:10:47.600
flying the drone. >> I know they can do that. I didn't thought I was evading your promise. >> J Yeah, but I'm not going to get into a debate with him. >> No, no, we're not. We're not. >> So, yes, the drone was flown to survey

34
00:10:47.600 --> 00:11:09.120
the the expanse of the cars. >> Okay. >> Um, anything visible from the roadway, we can use a drone to look at it. Um, as long as it's not a residence, we'd have to have a search warrant for res. >> So, is this an issue of the same cars being there for years?

35
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:36.000
>> No, it's all new ones. >> They're all new. Every one of them. >> Yeah. When y'all asked me to clean up, I cleaned up and I I got new ones. >> Yeah. Like we did last. This will cost me almost $5,000 with the parking lot preview. >> Are you starting to get your parts in

36
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:53.680
and >> I mean the biggest thing is I the biggest thing I am I'm a repair shop so I tear engines apart. Then we have to order parts. We have to let cars sit till we can get the parts in. But we have to tear them apart, diagnose them, and figure out what's wrong.

37
00:11:53.680 --> 00:12:09.120
>> But you said earlier that it was taking you more longer than normal. >> Well, there's I I let one go today that was discontinued. I I told him, I say, and it sitting here because the parts are discontinued. We just load it up on the record. We took it in his house and

38
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:29.920
put it in. I mean, I'm just a one person. I put motors in every day. >> I just wondered that you were getting your parts. It's still hard to get parts from a lot of you. >> So, what are you going to sign it for? >> He went talk to me the other day. He

39
00:12:29.920 --> 00:12:44.800
just went put us on the fence and or come to my door. We put it on the front door. >> I asked him to read it when he found out. >> I reckon not putting the fence up not be in compliance. I thought I was being in compliance. I moved the cars and

40
00:12:44.800 --> 00:13:07.839
everybody said just kept cleaned up and kept doing my thing. I mean that picture you can see that picture them cars half of three quarters of weight gone. >> You have the pictures the drawn pictures

41
00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:25.839
by chance. I don't have access to them now, but we we if I knew this was going to be brought up and I have been prepared. >> Why don't we attend this next meeting? >> Just watching. We're all see >> please. >> But you need to go and do new pictures

42
00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:42.800
because I never redone the parking lot >> because the pictures he got is I already had it scheduled two weeks to get the driveway done. >> J, are you available to do that? >> Um, yeah. by the next council meeting. >> All right.

43
00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:58.800
>> Thank you. >> Ask a quick question. Are you being told to come to court the first Monday in June? >> I didn't know you had a date on that notice. >> Monday, June the 1st, I hope. >> Yes. Okay. You're on the agenda for next

44
00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:15.120
week, next week. Next Monday. So, what do we need? who's been coded for violation of storage of inoperable motor vehicles storage on private property without the fence area or building that's required um and different code violations

45
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:32.160
regarding service station by shops or used car lots. Pretty much the same thing from before can't have all those inactive vehicles lining the street.

46
00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:48.720
I don't have third business I used to have. >> And I just wanted to know if he was going to be in magic court next week so that we would know if it would be the city's desire for us not to have. >> That's what I'm That's what I'm asking. What can we do about that as far until

47
00:14:48.720 --> 00:15:05.920
we get this part done? Is there anything that we can do for him not to be summoned in in court on the first? I mean, we can potentially take it off the calendar or at least still hear it. So, it has opportunity to combat what's

48
00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:21.680
being said in zoning court and we can ask for they always have we almost always typically give people up to 31 days after the hearing if they're found in non-compliance. Okay. >> To comply before they get fined, but he already is I believe this is your second at least.

49
00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:38.560
>> Yeah. But I already got a >> So we already have stuff, but at least that can be heard and that information could be brought back here. >> Okay. >> So whatever decision is made if it's determined that he's in violation by the magistrate, then um they typically have 31 days to or 30 days to come to

50
00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:53.199
compliance. So he would also be able to come back here before that issue happens. And I can inform special management that he's also been before the board. Okay. and they're trying to figure out what happened with the whole opportunity to abandon or sell um the

51
00:15:53.199 --> 00:16:09.680
strip. So, I can let the special strip know. >> Okay. >> So, I guess on June the June 1st meeting will have all the newest evidence. >> Yes. The newest pictures. >> Okay. >> And things that information. >> Okay. >> Very good.

52
00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:25.920
>> And if the council would like, I can forward that to you all as well. Pictures or whatever. It would have to have new video pictures for us here, >> right? There's always new pictures as often pictures as well. >> John, just for anyone's edification,

53
00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:43.680
maybe anyone else find it useful. That alley shows behind property owners, adjacent property owners. >> And so the maximum he could get there was only two property owners would be 9 ft. get that nice foot right in front of >> it and be

54
00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:59.759
>> this >> square like that if I'm not mistaken be very difficult to fit a ve sideway so is the abandonment even a realistic option >> I think that's why we didn't pursue it >> that's why we didn't pursue it before

55
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:15.120
because it's not it didn't give him enough space to do what he said he wanted to do which is having more space to put more cars on because right now um and there has been some change. I've just visually seen it because the cars are still along that they're not as

56
00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:31.760
many, but they're along that pathway of the highway. >> So, that's and I understood he understood that too because he wasn't satisfied with how little space it would actually give him. >> And that's by Florida law. You're is it city code or is it law? >> I think it was something in that

57
00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:48.280
specific deed. It's not like a fee simple deed. It was some kind of >> I thought it had something to do with city abandoned property. for statute that gives each individual property owner equal rights to purchase or be deeded it if he was abandoned. >> That is also part of state law

58
00:17:48.400 --> 00:18:04.960
abandoning by is the abandonment of an alley and alley space. You can't deviate that because it's safe. The most if there's two problem one is probably is

59
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:22.000
>> yes unless unless he contacted the other to try to get a piece for but it's still not a very brief piece. >> All right. We're also going to address it again at city council two

60
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:42.080
weeks now. I'll try to get a price or what we call >> that's surveying and then you got seven different deeds we got to write up and all that it was going to be cheap. >> No, it can't be that kind of surveying. >> Does statute allow you guys to pass

61
00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:57.600
those costs along to people getting >> well definitely be passed out. That was a discussion problem. Did the six other people want their piece? Do they care to front this cost for abandon that >> or does it does it give the owner other

62
00:18:57.600 --> 00:19:14.880
owner them the right to get all >> no right to get out of >> I don't know how that work you can always you can de anything anybody you want to have to accept it I guess you would just go ahead and deed it to them and I don't know

63
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:31.120
>> have to go back and look at I know it's from March 2025 that's at least that's what I'm thinking >> there was something not too long ago the county or the city where the I think it was a road county didn't ever accept it know was needed to everybody

64
00:19:31.120 --> 00:19:49.520
to accept it their board did not belong to them >> we're going to revisit this at the next capital meeting also the magistrate on June 1 we'll go from there anybody else want to

65
00:19:49.520 --> 00:20:07.520
speak on something that's not on the agenda Hearing see no one will move on bids are refused. We have any. All right. General business agenda item 6A. Council to discuss contract for land on plantation road and council will take

66
00:20:07.520 --> 00:20:29.200
any action necessary. John would I know it in I know you put it in here. um summary if you would >> we had till June 1st to enter in a contract. Um

67
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:46.880
>> which is Monday. Monday all the results came back fairly good or about because we expected a little high iron but we kind of knew that uh just like what in the last meeting y'all heard that from air that Swany River water management district came to us and was concerned about um private

68
00:20:46.880 --> 00:21:02.640
whales within a mile radius of the site said there's about 120 or so private whales I don't know that I believe there's 120 private drinking water wells are active right Now, I know there's some in that area for irrigation. I

69
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:20.080
don't I'm not concerned as much as they are about the the draw down. We did ask for a two-month extension. She said she wasn't very happy about it, but the land owner said she would do it if we put an additional 30 grand down.

70
00:21:20.080 --> 00:21:36.799
>> What 30 grand going toward purchase for us? >> Yes. Yeah. It's just a non-refundable deposit. >> We already have the 10,000 non-refundable. we don't you know execute either the contract by June 1st or this extension. >> So we'll be 40,000 cash in plus we're

71
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:53.200
already close we'll be close to 100 by the time all the the drill and the the testing will be done. >> The uh h how how deep did they go >> for the test well? >> Yeah, I think it was right around 160

72
00:21:53.200 --> 00:22:08.240
ft. >> There's not a private well at 160 ft. stuff. I am a mechanical engineer, but I can't speak to this. It has something to do with submersible pumps and non-submersible pumps for private wells

73
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:23.520
that if you draw them down by a couple extra feet, they can't get the head pressure. So, they're not It wasn't about the 150 ft. It was taking a foot or two from the private well. >> This contract,

74
00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:46.400
I'm on page one. And it says uh well I guess let's see maybe it's on the wrong line. The sellers Karen Turis the purchaser is city of Perry John

75
00:22:46.400 --> 00:23:03.679
Hart. If you go back here to 327, the seller is where the buyer is web from another contract.

76
00:23:03.679 --> 00:23:30.600
>> And if you go to the last page, John Hart's buying it a >> that's a sellers agent. the >> that's where you signed it. >> 27 are the agents.

77
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:48.480
>> I I understand what they're trying to do, but they ought to clean it up. Whoever prepared this supposed to be there, that's that's the brokers. That's what's supposed to be there. It says the seller's associate

78
00:23:48.480 --> 00:24:04.640
and the buyer's associate. That's the agents that have the contracts. That's the buyer's agent and the seller's agent. >> Did we survey this or we're going to survey? They had a survey already.

79
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:31.919
>> They had a survey. >> What about title insurance? We >> we can do all that closing. where we need a but it doesn't we need a budget amendment first and

80
00:24:31.919 --> 00:24:50.200
then this but that's not a big deal what sport comes into and we beat this thing to Yes, I >> think we just need to go ahead and buy it. That's the best location we're going to find. >> And I'll make that motion

81
00:24:50.480 --> 00:25:11.520
move forward with purchase. Do we have a second? >> Council br >> Hampton's absent. Counc >> no. >> Vice Mayor Landry. >> Yes. >> Mayor Petron, >> yes. 96

82
00:25:11.520 --> 00:25:31.919
D camera representative to give presentation off cameras. Is that okay for another? >> It's my fault. My wife had surgery. I've been out with her. I didn't get that arranged.

83
00:25:31.919 --> 00:25:51.520
>> It's okay. We'll get to we'll get to the tree. Thanks. Then item 6, council to discuss a fiveyear capital program. Council will take any action being necessary. I think the only change I made was I

84
00:25:51.520 --> 00:26:59.919
took the cameras off. Y'all figure that one out. We figure that one out. Jame system on a portion of software upgrading that hardware and software or just software. Um that was an

85
00:26:59.919 --> 00:27:32.000
anticipation for a change that's not going to happen. Okay. We may have an upgrade expense of 15 to $20,000 at that camera. Yeah. Okay. >> Did you ever figure out where I got to

86
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:48.000
add it? why it got added. >> Yeah, because we were trying to figure out why was it added on the current budget. That was the question. >> Not on any budget. That's just my That's just a wish list. That's my wish list. >> So, currently he was asking for the 61. I

87
00:27:48.000 --> 00:28:03.520
>> mean, that's not really asking for anything. That's what I would like to get done in the city over the next 5 years. But then when we get to budget, that's what we're really asking for this coming up here. That's that's like a dream plan and budget is reality. >> So, the 61, you're asking to be in the current budget. down the road. That's

88
00:28:03.520 --> 00:28:19.279
what you're saying. >> Possible. >> Okay. So, did we ever get to the point of who gave permission to put the cameras up? >> We haven't spent any money on it. So, it's >> I don't think that I'm saying about money. I don't think that was the the the question about money. I think it was

89
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:37.120
more so who gave permission. That's what we were trying to get down to the bottom of I'd have to ask my attorney if that was a council decision or that's a trial. We're not entering into a contract. isn't spend any funds on it. So, I don't know what the harm of the trial is.

90
00:28:37.120 --> 00:28:54.000
>> I guess we're both down to these who say go ahead somebody add to >> if you're looking for somebody that question about this. It' be me. >> No, we first of all, >> we were just trying to get an understanding. >> It wasn't about pointing the finger at anybody. We were just trying to We are

91
00:28:54.000 --> 00:29:10.240
getting jacked up by the constituent. So, we're trying to get information. I will give you what I recollect on how this happened and maybe this will help answer this question. Uh Tuesday morning meeting we talked about the flot cameras and a trial. Um if it and it was

92
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:25.520
discussion was if it think you it'll work and we're not going to spend any money. Let's go ahead and start a trial. It was like a like a discussion among several people. It wasn't one person said let's go ahead and do it. It was a discussion if it will be beneficial. It's a tool for law enforcement. If it's a trial we're not going to spend any

93
00:29:25.520 --> 00:29:41.760
money. Let's see if it's going to be working for us before we go to asking for money on is the way the discussion started. >> Yeah. So ultimately I'm the one that called the company and said, "Hey, we're going to do a trial. No money." Yes, we'll do it. Um trial doesn't start until the cameras are set up and

94
00:29:41.760 --> 00:29:58.880
running. Um you know, and include park cameras because that's something we wanted is surveillance in the parks for the damage we've been getting and issues we've had in parks. And so they have a camera that's not part of the license plate reader program that they have as well that can be included in this

95
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:17.919
package. >> Such a cool. >> Yeah. >> This is the only place that's happen. >> Oh no, I know. >> Not saying right, wrong or indifferent. I'm just saying >> we got some up in the county.

96
00:30:17.919 --> 00:30:34.240
>> There are some just outside the city. Yes. record vehicles that come into the city. Yes. >> And scattered all along the highway. >> And now there's some cameras that don't belong to us or the sheriff's office in this county, too. And I don't know who those are. >> Yeah. They're just random.

97
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:50.799
>> So they don't they don't have to ask permission. >> No. From the state, I guess, or the fed some. >> If it's on private property, the state doesn't have to issue the permit. >> No, these I've seen been on the rightway. That's not >> Well, if it's on the rideway, the state has given permission.

98
00:30:50.799 --> 00:31:14.480
and a state agency wouldn't have as much of a problem getting a permit >> for something like this. >> I guess cars say they would need one. >> They would still need the permit, but the streamline process is a little easier. Probably >> I'm sure there's several monies paid for

99
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:35.600
those. >> I'm talking about stand. >> Oh, yeah. True. >> I could be wrong. >> There's things that happen that level that we don't need to know about some. >> All right. Anything else on the

100
00:31:35.600 --> 00:32:01.919
DI on agenda item 6D council to discuss the prospect growth department incentive package council will take any action necessary. I was almost last week. I didn't get a chance to thoroughly review it, but I think they changed it back to what we

101
00:32:01.919 --> 00:32:17.440
what they had asked for originally the first five years at 100%, second five years at 75%. Did you get a chance to look at it? >> I did um it did change it back to 10 versus kind of place it on all the units.

102
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:34.159
um and they incorporated the intention the intention to complete more the phase one. Um I I do have some recital language I would like to add to address

103
00:32:34.159 --> 00:32:51.279
um the history of what's happened to um reflect on a request last week to make sure that the prior agreements that were done through resolutions in particular would not come back to bite us in the sense that we where I would suggest we

104
00:32:51.279 --> 00:33:09.440
include an acknowledgement from they keep calling things city commission or city but city council So there those resolutations um did not involve any written agreement that was executed between the city and the developer. Um also it brings in 2022

105
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:25.440
um and that the city and it recognizes the city and developer um desires to move forward with the new clearly defined performance-based economic development incentive. Um and they find that it you know the it's in keeping with promoting economic development but

106
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:41.519
that it supersedes all prior resolutions discussions are understanding related to the incentives and that both parties are saying that they're not um that those prior um resolutions and discussions um are no longer valid and cannot be

107
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:56.559
enforced because I believe it was city councilman Bryce who was concerned that in the future there may be some potential litigation where they're expecting specific performance or damages based on what was not done in

108
00:33:56.559 --> 00:34:14.159
2016, 2017 and 2022, but particularly 2016 and 17. Um, and so I want to include those as part of the recital that we include that history and that this supersedes everything and there's no other obligations noted under the prior agreements. If you all agree to

109
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:35.599
the 10-year incentive u rebate has been defined as outlined by John Hire um in the last meeting or the last several meetings regarding working with prospect requirements. No, you emailed me or may email

110
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:50.399
everybody. I don't know about why they didn't use gas appliances. >> I everybody did. >> If we were redo those incentives, would they put they will put gas appliances in the apartment? >> He said,

111
00:34:50.399 --> 00:35:07.440
>> too late as that question. Well, there's bunch more of them coming. There's another how many apartments going to be built? He said, "Not sure why we're so hung up on natural gas. If they reinstated the original agreement where they would provide the piping and infrastructure, we could look at it for phase two, but that was killed when

112
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:28.040
Taylor removed that." >> They would consider >> Is there place on that document for them to sign? Y'all agree with Yes. >> Is there a place for them to sign?

113
00:35:29.040 --> 00:36:08.000
I did not look at this. I look down at the city. We've had so many drafts. >> Yes, it does. Um time to answer your question. Well, we don't do anything until we get a good document.

114
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:24.520
>> You could accept it as amended by the city attorney or wait till she has it prepared, but they're kind of waiting on us. I can't get there. Bone closing done until this is done.

115
00:36:34.000 --> 00:37:15.200
>> And this only deals with property tax. Yes. for the lower. We already told this is what we're going to do. We got to get the language right in the contract agreement. Next question is we don't do we want to

116
00:37:15.200 --> 00:37:39.280
wait till the document's completed or should we wait the document now the next meeting is working be pleasure board I'd like to have good document but I also don't want to hold him

117
00:37:47.119 --> 00:38:02.000
You already have the language you're adding. >> Yeah. Well, I have to change a little bit of it, but I sent it to you. I know both of us are out of town this weekend, so Memorial Day, so I just thought we would just >> Can you just go ahead? Can you get a

118
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:22.560
document put together and have this email out? I want everyone reach over and see if everybody's okay. >> I can do that and email it to all the council. >> That work? Yeah, I think

119
00:38:22.560 --> 00:38:43.680
say something along the lines of uh agreements approved pending email review by each council member. our majority of council members. I don't know. It's kind of tricky.

120
00:38:43.680 --> 00:38:59.839
>> It is. >> Well, some of y'all vote no and then some of the other ones are the ones that agreed to it. >> Regarding the agreement as it is now, what I'm including is our recital to just go over the history. Is there any question regarding the I think this is like the third phase of an agreement. Is

121
00:38:59.839 --> 00:39:14.240
there anything specific about outside the recital which I was going to include regarding the history and make sure that everything is numerated and that we've agreeing this supersedes everything there's no outstanding obligation is there anything else in the agreement

122
00:39:14.240 --> 00:39:34.880
that anyone has questions or concerns to >> feel like outside the meeting probably should not do that >> we want a good clean I'm sorry. What' you say? I couldn't hear you. >> I was asking hope she could have it finished up by the end of the meeting.

123
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:55.839
You guys can read it in the meeting. >> Is that a possibility? >> Yes. I can just take what I just said and include it. Um the copy. Did everyone get the copy that's redlined? Only because I didn't get a physical pack at this time. I I thought maybe no one did. I don't know. Does everyone

124
00:39:55.839 --> 00:40:11.040
have the physical >> this red line? >> You redlined the old one, right? >> Yeah, I redlined the old one. >> I thought they included in the package, but it was from the old contract and not the new contract. >> Let me make sure I'm not looking at my

125
00:40:11.040 --> 00:40:44.320
agreement that I read line that I like. Okay. >> No, this is from S. should have been the day after the last week. >> And agenda item 6A is going to have to do with this also. >> Wouldn't be any problem with us moving on to the rest of the agenda?

126
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:58.560
>> Yes, let's do that. I may be looking at my red line that I sent John from the last meeting to include theirs and I thought they incorporated it. So if I'm not looking at the right thing, >> you have a hard copy. >> If we really want to get it done

127
00:40:58.560 --> 00:41:15.760
tonight, what we could do is a journ once you get done. >> I just want to make sure I have the right final. >> That's what I'm getting at to make sure everything's the one. >> Do you have any physical hard copies with you? >> The one they sent? >> Yes. I got no packet for this meeting.

128
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:54.480
It was only the electronic email. >> So next time that's easy. I guess if you could hold off, but I may have to still hold off. >> All right. >> I got eight hard >> That's my side. Yeah, the next two items are basically

129
00:41:54.480 --> 00:42:11.200
held on for the sentence, please. I'm >> sorry. >> I guess the um both the agreement um authority and the resolution, if you can hold off and let him get me a hard copy. I just want to make sure I was looking at the thing cuz I responded to the last agreement with a lot of red lines and

130
00:42:11.200 --> 00:42:29.839
additional things and that copy I have is the red line copy that I thought they incorporated. So it may take a little bit longer to >> or if we want to make sure not doing it on the text. >> I would be more comfortable with that. I

131
00:42:29.839 --> 00:42:45.200
just wasn't trying to delay to delay not getting a hard copy and not getting looking at my red line copy that I thought they were in agreement with. >> Yeah, I'm in agreement with >> Okay. say I want to delay it but I also don't want to be found

132
00:42:45.200 --> 00:44:30.240
doing a 10 year it's going to last for 10 years. Okay. So shall we just table items 6D and 6E for the J9 meeting? You Yeah, here

133
00:44:30.240 --> 00:45:39.920

135
00:45:54.640 --> 00:46:10.160
action deemed necessary. This is tax set by the county if they're right. >> Yeah. >> State collects it and then I don't know who comes up with the formula. I don't know if the state comes up with the how we split it up with the county. It's

136
00:46:10.160 --> 00:46:42.640
what 7030 >> I think it has to be updated every 5 years. What has said >> it's a agreement between us and the county is not giving up one red cent. >> I asked one if we could change it to

137
00:46:42.640 --> 00:47:04.240
31%. She said no. I don't have sense anymore about that. >> Anyway, we have any discussion on this? I'll entertain motion. >> Second

141
00:48:43.680 --> 00:48:59.040
here on the south side and on the east side of Veteran Memorial Park. That's where you're doing all the um I think there's two or three handicaps on that side. Two or three handicaps on that side. Sound like a good price while he was

142
00:48:59.040 --> 00:49:16.400
already over here in this area striking. I thought I'd let y'all >> How much? >> 1350. >> Where is this? >> At the Veteran Memorial Park. >> Oh, okay. That's the parking lot on the south side. Then this parking area on the east side right across from the Boys

Thanks. A motion second. >> Yes. >> Absent coun. >> Yes. >> Landry. >> Yes. Mayor K. >> Yes. And just to clarify, this is the parking lot.

145
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:24.240
>> Anything else? Um, last week, last week, last meeting, we asked for tenant Smith, we asked for his firearm, and two people said yes, and the other two never really said anything. I'd like to have a third one. He wants to keep his service. He's

146
00:50:24.240 --> 00:50:39.200
retiring from the police department. Would like to keep his service. >> Is that customary? >> It is. >> It's customary for y'all to approve it. >> Just draw a little bit. >> Yeah, it's already I just need y'all say yes. If you approve it, we would

147
00:50:39.200 --> 00:51:09.520
actually get a transfer done through a local farm dealer. So it's it's >> a motion. >> We just need to >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. John, you got anything else?

148
00:51:09.520 --> 00:51:48.079
>> Okay. >> Yes, sir. >> Nothing. And I I haven't looked, but uh out there where I live, there's some

149
00:51:48.079 --> 00:52:09.040
telephone that storm destroyed and they're still there, but they put a new one I don't know if we got authority to make them take that old one. >> Talking about now what you tell me

150
00:52:09.040 --> 00:52:28.760
they're abandoning them talking about little metal ones. >> Some of them they are. Some of them they're just knocking over not fixing if we do or not. I know there's there's been a lot of Yeah. In other towns there's been a lot of talk about the same thing. They call it wire.

151
00:52:29.839 --> 00:52:47.119
Oh, there's main board just where there's a bunch of wire hanging around laying at the bottom of holes junk, I guess you could say. >> What town can actually do to make it make anybody do anything about it? I

152
00:52:47.119 --> 00:53:08.760
don't know what kind of jurisdiction we have, but whoever consolidated who? >> Yeah. Whoever they told names I think or something >> that's all for landline stuff I guess.

153
00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:24.400
>> You can ask them. >> I think they're all over the place like that. >> They are. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> There's some utility lines that are sagging lower too. The old Comcast lines there that you can >> that a foury old can grab pull on. Oh, we have to.

154
00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:50.800
>> Yeah, some of them are still being used. Some laid on the ground three or four. I'm going to send an article to you, John. West somebody apparently it's all over

155
00:53:50.800 --> 00:54:21.440
not earlier refurbishes. some of our parking lots and we've got some that are in sad shape. I was just wondering if there's any way we can get some of that done.

156
00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:35.839
>> Which one? >> The one behind Spunky Sparrow, >> that one's going to get pretty done with the CDBG grant. And the one u over here that's building >> it's going to get redone with the city when

157
00:54:35.839 --> 00:54:51.280
>> they're 99.9% done with the design and engineering. We should be going out the field I don't think in the next couple weeks. It would do a lot to enhancing the city the way it looks because right

158
00:54:51.280 --> 00:55:07.440
now especially one by the stair has got all those rocks or broken concrete or whatever it is up there. It's not good. >> Three or four city parking lots and they're redoing all of them in the downtown area.

159
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:23.040
>> Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, that involves we start to see some roadways. Also, seven roadways. >> None of those road busted open to do this main water line that's coming down there.

160
00:55:23.040 --> 00:55:43.119
>> It's not part of that. >> We got to tear up sidewalk roadway. Surely we're not paving. I would like to >> Wow. >> That would be really bad.

161
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:58.960
>> You're not going to be able to get the money to I guess the bid will include fixing up >> and Jefferson wasn't part of the ones that repaid. So most of the damage from the water line will be on Jefferson. Yeah, that's part of that bid is fixing

162
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:21.599
back everything they destroy. There's going to be a lot of that coming up. >> It just might be smart to have the engineer looking. >> They they talk and both know what's going >> do things in certain order maximize.

163
00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:46.960
>> Yeah. But it is two different Anybody have anything else? I had a list of things I list earlier. We better let you go first. Look at it. I probably said a lot of it. I've had a month's worth of

164
00:56:46.960 --> 00:57:02.319
people talking to me about things. Only I do want to mention is for >> the ethics forms, finance forms. Yeah, everybody needs to fill it out first. I think

165
00:57:02.319 --> 00:57:18.480
>> yeah, I just reminder out there. Y'all still do the same one, right? >> Yeah, the easy one. >> Yeah, >> easier one. I actually started doing my form six

166
00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:31.640
when they came in because they got overturned or whatever. That's all I had. So, thank y'all.
