Mr. Conser, it's nice to see you also. >> Thank you, Mayor. >> Okay, you're up next. >> And I have nothing to report for this evening. >> Okay. All right. So, we'll move on. Madam clerk, I have two things this evening. The first thing is you guys received a letter from Great Bay

49
00:14:52.560 --> 00:15:10.160
Regional Squad um Volunteer Medical Services, Squad 85. What's happening is the town has participated in uh help funding a uh consultant to take the volunteer uh EMS squad and turn it into

50
00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:25.760
a paid um emergency medical squad where they would do building and um collect from you know the calls that they're making. They are still going to keep a volunteer organization and then they're going to have a paid organization. They

51
00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:41.120
are requesting that the Tucker in because we are involved in the paid side of it. They're requesting that they um if we would like to appoint Oda on the governing body would like to appoint Odaon

52
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:58.560
um because it's such an infant stages and I just applied for that um grant that would fund all of the the paid stuff that would help with the payrolls and stuff. I'm asking that the governing body consider me as that liaison and it

53
00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:13.920
wouldn't be for a long period of time. I don't know that we want to put a a date on it and I'd have to check with Chris probably has to deal with the bylaws but if in the interim you appoint me as the liaison to go over there and see what

54
00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:30.480
the bylaws say, what they're asking for. Um, I think this whole area needs a paid um, emergency medical squad and I we are there. We're almost there and I I I want to give its best shot possible. Um

55
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:46.240
obviously with 20 plus years of municipal finance and um dealing with local governing body I feel that I'm could help them get past that one little hurdle and then after that I think it should be a governing body member that

56
00:16:46.240 --> 00:17:02.720
becomes the liaison on that. Um you disagree there's no I don't get any extra money. I don't I I don't get paid to do any of it. I believe it's one meeting a month. I'll just go and like I said get it going and then relinquish it once the billing is happening and it,

57
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:19.919
you know, it's it's self-sufficient. Um, >> sounds good. >> So, I would just need a motion, I guess, Chris, for the interim to send myself over there as the Tucker and Burough leaison and then see what their bylaws say from there. >> Does that make sense? >> No, that makes sense. We can do that

58
00:17:19.919 --> 00:17:36.799
>> and I'll come back with the bylaws and make it official or if you have to adopt something or any of that. I would move to appoint Jenny as the leazison. >> I'll second. >> Okay. So, I have a motion and a second to appoint Jenny as leaison as claimed.

59
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:52.080
Roll call, please. Anybody have any questions? Any questions? >> Um, I think you explained that very well. >> Yeah, I said I don't it's not something I want to stay doing. >> It's just I want to make sure that they become that pain squad.

60
00:17:52.080 --> 00:18:20.039
>> You have a lot of knowledge like that. >> Mr. Mr. >> Mr. Barry, >> yes. >> Mr. Klo, >> yes. >> Mr. >> Mr. Peterson, >> yes. which is a majority of

61
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:38.160
>> member. >> Thank you. Okay. Uh the next thing I have is a request for facility use application from the Tucker Chamber of Commerce for the baseball field for the date of August 15, 2026 with a rate date

62
00:18:38.160 --> 00:19:07.760
of August 16, 2026. Roll call vote, please. >> Mr. Freland, >> yes. >> Mr. Martin, >> yes. >> Mr. Kangelo, >> yes. >> Mr. Deree, >> yes. >> Mr. Peterson, >> yes. >> Thank you. >> And that is all I have this evening. >> All right. Fine. Thank you very much.

63
00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:21.520
Any reports? >> I have a couple. I haven't heard of that. Okay. >> Okay. Um so I'll start with uh Pride and Celebration. We had the townwide yard

64
00:19:21.520 --> 00:19:38.400
sale um last Saturday. The sex I did before I went up to work. I did drive around. I saw a lot of people had a lot of stuff out. Um and the weather was perfect for it. So >> um

65
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:55.120
>> so we we've been lucky. I I did not even get out of the car. I just drove. >> I had to leave the traffic on the island. >> Right. >> Um but it was um it was a good turnout from the homes as far as people signing

66
00:19:55.120 --> 00:20:11.120
up and going and I think I ended up doing you know my final map uh four times and I kept adding a couple more people to the final map and then another final map. So >> something has taken off and you know people like it. That's good. and we had

67
00:20:11.120 --> 00:20:26.640
a couple little lighouses that wanted in. So, I did put them on the list. I can't put them on the physical map because they're too far out, but I did put their addresses on. Um, we do have a uh full lineup for the Friday night concerts this summer. The first concert

68
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:44.400
will be July 10th uh over at the All Wars Memorial Ball Field and then it'll be every Friday through August 14th. Our last concert will be the day before the Chamber of Commerce's event, which is

69
00:20:44.400 --> 00:21:00.320
the 15th over at the um ball field. I don't know if Are you going to mention anything about it or >> Sure. I can go out and say something at public comment if you'd like. >> Okay. >> I don't want to steal your thunder. So,

70
00:21:00.320 --> 00:21:18.080
>> I don't really have any thunder, but >> um I'll let Mr. watch and talk about that event then on the 15th at the ball field. Um and then this is our last meeting before the 4th of July. >> So for the 4th of July committee have a

71
00:21:18.080 --> 00:21:34.320
couple um announcements things going on. So on 4th of July we have the parade at 10:00 a.m. uh starting at Marine and going down to Great Bay. The application is is out there and about. You can get

72
00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:50.080
them from Danny at Doyles or I've posted the application to be in the parade also on Pride and Celebrations events page on the burough website. So if you know anybody looking to be part of the parade, please let them know, get

73
00:21:50.080 --> 00:22:05.840
in touch with me, Danny, something we'd love to have um as many people in. we have that I know of already probably about eight new organizations for people that have never been in it before that are in it this year. So,

74
00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:22.960
>> um so it should be a really good time. Chief will try to squeeze it all in under the hour that we have for the road closure. >> Um fireworks will be uh that night at, you know, quote unquote dark dusk uh

75
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:39.360
9:15ish. The fireworks do have a rain date of Sunday, July 5th. The parade does not have a rain date. Parade is rain or shine. And if it's, you know, too bad that we can't do it, then it just gets cancelled. But I'll go out there with the top top off the car and

76
00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:54.799
drive in the rain. I don't care. So, >> okay. >> Um, for this one, I believe this week, Jenny, is that when we get the truck for the flags going up? I don't know if that's what John said. The plan is this week we'll get the flags all up along

77
00:22:54.799 --> 00:23:10.640
Main Street. >> Um so I'm looking forward to that. And shoot. Oh uh also the U fireworks committee is selling 5050 tickets. Again

78
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:27.200
they can be picked up from Doyles or I have some I didn't bring any with me. Um it's $5 a ticket. We have a th000 tickets. So, if we sell all thousand tickets, the winner gets $2,500 and then all the proceeds on the other half go directly to funding the

79
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:43.600
fireworks. And I think that's all I have. >> Okay. >> Oh, wait. No, I'm sorry. I lied. I do have one more thing. The uh Tucker Historical Society has been nice enough to um be texting and sharing some

80
00:23:43.600 --> 00:23:59.039
really, really cool things with me. So, um, I don't, you know, want to say I'm the young person here, but the bsentennial in 1976. I was not born yet, but I'm getting to see all this stuff that

81
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:15.520
Tucker was doing. Um, >> by one year. I was only out by one year. But, uh, it's so cool. That's that was the, um, yield tucker day. like we do Neil Tucker at Christmas time, but it

82
00:24:15.520 --> 00:24:32.559
was Neil Tucker Day was Fourth of July um every year and looking at the agendas that you know they had laid out the list of events and stuff. It was pretty cool like 3 p.m. was um grease the pig contest that we saw and going through

83
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:47.600
and then um >> the tickets >> for the >> Yeah, the tickets >> the uh Yeah, that was cool. Um, and then one of the things that I'm looking for an answer to, and I thought Ken would help me out, he didn't, was that for the

84
00:24:47.600 --> 00:25:04.080
bicesentennial year, there's mention of in December um, a capsule. >> I'm kind of wondering if that was like a time capsule that was buried. >> Yeah, >> it is. You know, >> you know where the sign is in front of

85
00:25:04.080 --> 00:25:20.320
the overall at 140 East Main Street? >> Okay. There's a time capsule that was buried in there. >> Okay. >> I'm pretty sure Grace has all the information from that. She was the correct. >> Awesome. >> So cool. >> Well, that was easy to solve that question.

86
00:25:20.320 --> 00:25:35.840
>> Um, but it's worth it's worth going down to the Tucker Historical Society and looking through some of this stuff. It was really really cool stuff. Um, dating back to what the town did. >> So now that's all I have. I promise.

87
00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:52.559
Some of the other uh positives that they did actually had a reenactment of a Boston Tea Party up in Tucker Lake and the Tucker and Redmond of course were the Indians and uh my father who was mayor at that time was fortunate enough

88
00:25:52.559 --> 00:26:09.440
to be one of the British soldiers ejected off the boat. But great memories and it was a great time to be a kid at Tucker back in the 70s. We were like in high school back then.

89
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:26.240
Yeah. You talk about decorating Main Street and it's it's just so nice to be able to drive through town and see where the businesses and the people on Main Street are are really, you know, making it look nice. And if you drive through some of the other towns going up towards

90
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:42.080

Hi, Chuck Watson. 90 curl. Well, this is low. But um I'm also one of the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce and the entire chamber. Thank you for letting us use the ball field. We looked at a couple other venues and they just weren't

93
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:32.240
working out. Then we went over and looked at the ball field with Brian. It's like this will be perfect for what we're doing especially. So really appreciate you all letting us use it. I think it's going to be a great event. We already have eight food trucks. I think about 15 other vendors

94
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:47.919
lined up. Um, seven or eight bands that'll be playing all day long. It's from 11 to 4. Um, you know, we're working on some other stuff for kids face painting, maybe some blow up, you know, some of those bounce houses or something. So, it's going to be really great event. Share it with all your

95
00:27:47.919 --> 00:28:03.440
friends and hope to see all you there if you can and and anyone else. So, um, the first one we've done. So, you know, we're working it's the 15th with 16th as the rain day. So, Saturday Yes. of

96
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:23.279
>> And um it's going to be a great event. So, thank you for letting us >> put this together. Really appreciate it. The experience that you've >> Thank you. >> Thank you. All right. Hi, Kathleen from the Historical Society

97
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:39.679
and I'm here to present the Burlington with a flag that that commemorates America 250. Um we we are selling them for $45 each and we're all volunteers.

98
00:28:39.679 --> 00:28:56.080
So all that money goes to keeping the history of Tucker in the area alive. Oh, thank you very much. It's a 2x3. Nice. Wow. And Mr. Diam already hung one

99
00:28:56.080 --> 00:29:13.919
at Little Hall. >> And I also wanted to mention this morning that Ebenea Chucker will be walking in the parade. >> Okay. >> I have a question before you sit back down. >> I have a question.

100
00:29:13.919 --> 00:29:33.559
>> Yes. um for purchasing the flags. Get them down at Little Hall. >> I have five with me, but Ursula can take orders and we we'll deliver them. >> Okay. >> All right. That's right. Yes, sir. Thank you.

101
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:53.360
>> Good evening. My name is Jim. 201 reason I'm here tonight I hear a lot of nice things you guys are saying I think this is terrific these programs um bringing up an issue I had with a

102
00:29:53.360 --> 00:30:08.559
problem I I feel like I'm not getting across the magnitude of what happened there so uh there's a bound that broke in the found the municipal

103
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:23.520
uh shut off valve had a large water leak and >> I'm having trouble hearing it leak and the municipal valve the main shuttle valve the infrastructure in the township is

104
00:30:23.520 --> 00:30:41.279
what broke uh it's after the meter at my property so the water was metered before the valve and we excavated it and Charlie came out John, they saw what was damaged and I don't really have a

105
00:30:41.279 --> 00:31:01.520
problem paying water bill. It would be inconsequential. The amount was reasonable, but the amount of bill that really wasn't my fault is $14,000. I have pictures. I have all the

106
00:31:01.520 --> 00:31:19.039
equipment that I remove. Um, I just I brought this up quite a few times. I I don't know if you know I was it was portraying that I was asking for forgiveness of the bill. I'm not asking for forgiveness of the bill. I don't think the bill is being charged me

107
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:33.520
properly. Meaning I don't think I'm responsible for this. I don't know. You know, I offered to bring the equipment, show it, whatever I need to do, but I have the valve with me tonight. the rest of the equipment. I

108
00:31:33.520 --> 00:31:50.320
mean, it's 100 pounds worth of iron that is the shell off that belongs to the town's infrastructure. So, I I don't really know what to do about this. Um, I don't want to make a big deal about it, but it's not $500.

109
00:31:50.320 --> 00:32:04.799
It's not $3,000. And and understanding this, the bill was reduced uh to take the sewer charges off and the reduction amount is 14,000. It was $30,000. >> That's a lot of money.

110
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:22.159
>> Yes. I want to get into the repairs, but I paid for all the repair work and and I did a lot of the repair work myself. So, I spent over 5,000. That technically should have been my responsibility either. So, that's going to be on top of this. And I'm not asking for

111
00:32:22.159 --> 00:32:37.279
reimbursement that I'm just looking to handle this. Okay. And a fair assessment is what I'm looking for. Like I said, I can show my documentation. >> I kind of already answered him. He's

112
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:52.000
here now because um so the valve is on his side of the meter. Our rules regulations state that it's um the homeowner's responsibility. That valve has been in there 30 plus years. >> Absolutely.

113
00:32:52.000 --> 00:33:07.519
>> Um so what had happened was when I after I guess 30 years on his side of the pipe um They they didn't find the leak and when we went out and read it, we saw that, you know, he had used an exorbitant

114
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:24.240
amount of water and what was happening, it didn't show his head, but one of our guys went and like was poking around the grass area and then it became a geyser. So, it was leaking like I said and it just you know there our our rules and

115
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:38.880
regulations are our rules and regulations and I can't be the one to to break from that. So, that's why he's here to discuss it with the governing body. We have forgiven our the sewer portion of that bill. Um

116
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:55.600
we have had this in the past and you know we don't forgive it but that's you know that's what it's up to you guys. I have all the emails. I did share it with the words to our committee with St. Amron and Frank so they have seen pictures.

117
00:33:55.600 --> 00:34:11.040
Um I can send it to the rest of the governing body if you you know now that it's brought out to the public meeting. I can do that as well. Unfortunately um it was on his side of the meter. It's

118
00:34:11.040 --> 00:34:28.720
where so if his his line were to come out of his house to our meter back um when we redid the road which was 30 years ago >> the the part where it attached from his line underneath to our meter is where

119
00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:44.800
the leak was. >> I can relate. I had exactly the same thing happen at my house about seven years ago and they weren't nice enough to uh get rid of the sewer portion but unfortunately I was responsible for the

120
00:34:44.800 --> 00:35:01.119
the water portion but exactly the same thing happened at my place also happened to me same thing with Sandy had no idea where was going and they forgave the suicide but you're responsible from the meter for the

121
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:22.880
I mean, I understand what she's explaining, but the shuttle ground belongs to the township >> street. No, that's not the the valve is on your side. >> The valve is on your side. >> The valve I have the valve that broke on

122
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:39.040
the street side. I have pictures of the ground on the street. You guys have >> I have a valve with me. >> Okay. But the where the our water shut off valve is on this side of the meter. It's still in the road. >> That was a fix it.

123
00:35:39.040 --> 00:35:56.320
>> You have shut off. There's a sidewalk there. This is what I'm trying to explain. There's a curb stop. You remove the cabin down. That's where it broke on the street side of that. My meter is is further back because there's a sidewalk there and the

124
00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:14.400
shut off valve is on the on the property side of the of the sidewalk and then the meter when they went to install that the sidewalk was interfered when the meter is now between the sidewalk and the street. So the meter's in front of the shut off it should be behind the shut

125
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:31.839
off but in the middle. So I didn't install this not be argumented. Uh I I own properties in other towns. Uh the the rules that every other town follows by whatever side

126
00:36:31.839 --> 00:36:48.480
breaks on that lost pay for water leaks and water bills for leaks. This is not the first one I had. This is an exorbitant amount. This bill was $3500. I would have paid it and I wouldn't be standing here today. But this is a lot

127
00:36:48.480 --> 00:37:13.280
of money. And like I said, I believe I'm completely not responsible for this because this valid she's saying it didn't but I think she's misunderstood. I have like >> I'm to

128
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:29.520
verify that. >> Mr. asking you what you would recommend council do since we have >> well I would recommend that council defer taking any action on it appears to be some remaining discrepancy

129
00:37:29.520 --> 00:37:46.240
as to the responsibility was until that can be finally assessed and determined I would hold it in balance have it re-examined and see if the gentleman is saying is

130
00:37:46.240 --> 00:38:12.480
accurate. >> All right. So, who does he need to come in and talk to? >> Well, I think that the administrator will just have your super >> my past in situations like this. >> Absolutely.

131
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:28.000
best practice, but we just I think there may be from what I'm hearing >> there may be a question as to where the valve is located >> with respect to that. >> Yeah, I wasn't expecting an answer

132
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:48.680
tonight. I just >> it will be looked into. >> Yeah, we will we will follow up and do our due diligence on it. I I have one I have one question though. >> $14,000 and we keep calling it a leak.

133
00:38:51.760 --> 00:39:08.800
>> That's what like to me that's not a leak. That's a >> normally >> and you have water pressure like inside the house. >> I mean the house notoriously didn't have great water pressure to begin with. Uh it it wasn't uh anything that was I mean

134
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:24.960
it must have I mean I never had an overage build the years prior. So my guess is this cold winter maybe the frost heat was enough to finish it off. Maybe it was weeping like half the

135
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:40.240
steel steel. >> I do have a question. >> Are we able to Are we able to reset the clock on his interest penalty? We have to invest. >> We have We already told him that. We

136
00:39:40.240 --> 00:40:03.040
already told him that we would work out our best answer right here. Right. >> So, excess bills hasn't even gone out yet. >> They have not This is the only one that's been calculated and we gave it to him. >> I requested the bill early because I was trying to There's not

137
00:40:03.040 --> 00:40:21.760
No, >> date for him per say just yet. >> Thank you for >> Thank you for your patience. We We always try to get an answer out to someone, but unfortunately you're not going to get um anything right here.

138
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:42.160
>> I wasn't expecting it. Just wanted to get something. >> Does anyone else have any comments this evening? Hello, I'm Chris Mayor 48 South Green Street and I don't know who prompted to clean up 478 South Green Street, but thank you very much because they did an

139
00:40:42.160 --> 00:40:59.520
amazing job last week and everything was tough, stuff was new. It was great. Um, I do have one question though. 476 South Green Street. I had asked before there's a sign there and I don't see

140
00:40:59.520 --> 00:41:14.160
it. >> I'm sorry. I think I talked to you before and it looks like they dug new holes to meet the sign because it's sitting right in front of the speed sign and we're 80

141
00:41:14.160 --> 00:41:29.040
South Street. You can just fly by and the Turos too. It's just >> Yeah. out there, but it looks like they dug holes, but they never So, I just Okay. All right. Thank you.

142
00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:53.599
But thank you, Matt. 476. I mean, 478 looks amazing. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Hello, my name is Bruce Les, 189 Road. Uh the last couple of months I've been sending council members an email with

143
00:41:53.599 --> 00:42:12.240
video and photos. We also talking from several members about the decrepit gaping situation of bulkheads on lagoons lagoon and also the lagoons that that

144
00:42:12.240 --> 00:42:27.839
were2 were charged via special assessment. Uh this condition has been existing for many years of of old decrepit bulkheads

145
00:42:27.839 --> 00:42:42.880
leaking silt, sand, rock, whatever into our buildings and expediting our next church project in special assessment. I can give you one condition. When I

146
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:58.720
purchased in 2006, uh, right before the closing, we were given notice that we had 12 months in order to replace our leaking uh, wood pure. We're given 12 months. We

147
00:42:58.720 --> 00:43:15.839
did it in that 12 months. After purchasing the house, it was quite a burden, you know, to spend almost $15,000 replacing 50 foot of wood pul. So when I go up and down lagoons and I see these wooden bulkheads with, you

148
00:43:15.839 --> 00:43:33.359
know, holes 61 12 in across them were pretty much non-existent. I'm I'm really upset. I'm upset that it's not being handled properly that we have an enforcement. It's the code is 118-9.

149
00:43:33.359 --> 00:43:49.119
It's on the books and I would like to see it properly enforced. I enforced with the ordinance the ordinance deals with a fine schedule and also jail and I've

150
00:43:49.119 --> 00:44:06.480
known for one of these property owners that's on the very tip of flamingo road it's been going on for the treasure b and it still exists today that that specific property

151
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:24.400
is is uh affects the entire spit because it's adjacent to the spit. So it affects not only flamingo lagoon but also curly lagoon in the little lake. So before this grant spit is is um the

152
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:38.640
beginning I would like to see this project I would like to see that specific bulkhead and most bulkheads that are legion taken care of because just recently we we were told during that we had a 4 foot at the spec was 4

153
00:44:38.640 --> 00:44:57.040
foot at dead low tide post post uh trenching. I've been going up and down uh my lagoon lagoon for the last month or so and I'm not getting for I'm getting free from so whatever happened between the bulkhead leaking and also

154
00:44:57.040 --> 00:45:15.119
storms that are added to it it's it's it's a condition that I like to see resolved and I like to see resolved that you know some type of teeth in the ordinance uh we've been through a hard time uh officer now we have a full-time officer

155
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:32.240
and I'm hoping a full-time officer uh could judiciate this condition. >> Thank you. >> Bruce, I may have a uh little bit of an answer. When you did call and sent emails, I went right into the

156
00:45:32.240 --> 00:45:48.160
construction office and got the story behind it. Uh they had sent out uh warning letters and whatnot. The uh it's crossed a couple of hands. want to understand that property and the person that owns it presently

157
00:45:48.160 --> 00:46:03.599
scheduled with I don't want to say it was a or whatever unfortunately with Aean or Butterick or any of them that they're six to nine months out. So that is what I was told was the lead time. Mr. McDaniel could probably correct me on that. He was

158
00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:20.160
>> Oh, that's correct. Absolutely. That's the one. And >> excuse me, try to stand up my man. Um the property this gentleman is speaking of is on one point and it's that uh there is a definite problem there. I've been there every day for the last two

159
00:46:20.160 --> 00:46:35.839
weeks. I have pictures. I have violation notice I sent. I have noticed from that they're applied for a grant through some agricultural type thing. Now I'd like to inform everybody that my authority stops

160
00:46:35.839 --> 00:46:52.640
at the bulkhead. this side of it. The other side of it goes to marine police or whomever. But this one particular property I told them I would find them $1,000 a day. I gave them 10 days. I have the off I was off today. It's on the top of my board if you want to go

161
00:46:52.640 --> 00:47:07.920
get it out of my office right now and show you that it's there for inspection. And you know who I'm speaking about. They have the point there. >> Exactly. >> And and that is been a constant pain. They have more excuses than God gave gave us peace. But it's unbelievable.

162
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:23.599
And I I agree with you that that's probably the worst one. There's actually a hole that would take the whole front of those seats there. Five seats into the depth of four feet. There's nothing there. At the bulk pit, the pl the

163
00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:40.079
sheathing as you might call it, there's a hole in the bottom about I'd say maybe a foot and a half wide. That's where the drainage is going out. That should be fixed when I go there tomorrow morning. If not, I have

164
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:56.400
full court again. >> It's it's a complete wash out probably. >> Yeah, >> I don't have my phone with me right now, but I show you the pictures I took last week. >> Did they pull a permit from us to to fix that bulkhead? >> Did they pull a per Okay, good. So, they pulled the permit.

165
00:47:56.400 --> 00:48:12.640
>> Okay. And the the other one you're speaking about is the Sky Bum. What can I tell you? That's a name that I know and I'm not giving away anybody's real name, but they have a permit issued, paid for, and are waiting for Aean to

166
00:48:12.640 --> 00:48:30.079
put it in. And they have a probable date of August or the first part of September. That'll clean up that side of it. >> That's where it is right now. So the the the uh the area that's adjacent to spit is that also going to be I'm sorry

167
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:46.400
cleaned up is I mean because there's a lot in this property it's an end it's an end right >> it's on the end of the road so there's there's you know there's more than 50 foot of bulkhead I got 125 130 bul that is all to be done

168
00:48:46.400 --> 00:49:02.400
and they actually took the violation notice I sent them and sent that in with the grant to show the importance of getting the money. Now whether I don't deal with grant, you know, thank God I'm comfortable and I don't need a grant for anything.

169
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:18.480
>> So has the permit been issued? >> That's what I'm I need. I don't know. That's what I was asking. We issued a permit yet for >> No, we've issued one for Sky. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> But not this property. >> But not this property. I'll give you a better answer tomorrow morning when I go back into the office.

170
00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:34.480
they're and also we have the ability on a bulkhead to extend a 60day as opposed to a 10day on the high grass or something but they can actually ask for a 60-day extension of

171
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:52.160
the request for the permits and that's it's you know it's a gray area but I agree with you that the first the one we're talking about tonight that needs to be done tomorrow morning should have done last week should have done two months But um with regards to a bulkheading

172
00:49:52.160 --> 00:50:08.319
ordinance um that should be pulled one and that would then alleviate any more fines or anything. But if they haven't pulled that permit yet, then the fines continue. >> Yes. And and they could be actually the fine could

173
00:50:08.319 --> 00:50:24.880
have been issued every day at $1,000 a day if that's what necessary. But again, that's all been and the boil, you know, where am I? Whatever. And I'm working. Go down and take a look at my clipboard right on the

174
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:39.520
top of it right now. Pictures and everything. >> It's been going on for years now, not months, for >> years. You have your answer for tonight. That's the best we can do. So, you can >> I'll give you a better answer tomorrow when I get down and talk to Mr. You know

175
00:50:39.520 --> 00:50:58.720
who Mr. is. >> Thank you for bringing this to our attention. >> Appreciate your support. see what we can do. Anyone else is move to close the public forum. Second

176
00:50:58.720 --> 00:51:46.400
motion second to close public forum. All in >> favor. >> Thank everyone for coming tonight. We didn't >> How you doing? Did I give you permission not to run again? Well, right
