A
A
I
just
got
the
notification
that
we
are
ready.
We're
live
welcome
to
the
Asheville
city
council
meeting
just
a
couple
of
preliminary
matters.
If
you've
got
a
cell
phone,
please
silence
it.
A
A
We're
gonna,
we
have
a
couple
proclamations
this
evening
before
we
do
that.
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
folks
know
that
item
J
on
the
consent
agenda,
which
is
an
ordinance
to
prohibit
the
storing
a
bicycle's
card,
strollers
and
other
means
of
personal
Transportation
on
city
property
for
longer
than
72
hours,
will
be
referred
to
the
multimodal
commission
first
before
it's
heard
here.
So
we're
not
going
to
take
to
take
any
action
on
item
J
on
the
consent
agenda.
A
A
E
F
D
A
B
A
Let
me
just
say
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
down
this
evening
for
this
Proclamation
and
in
recognition
of
Parkinson's
Awareness
Month.
My
grandfather
died
of
complications
from
Parkinson's
and
a
good
friend
has
recently
been
diagnosed
and
I
know.
It
affects
many
people,
so
we're
going
to
hear
about
that
in
this
Proclamation,
whereas
Parkinson's
disease
is
a
chronic
progressive,
neurological
disease
and
in
the
second
most
common.
A
Whereas
volunteers,
researchers,
caregivers
and
medical
professionals
are
working
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
persons
living
with
Parkinson's
disease
and
their
families,
whereas
increased
research,
education
and
Community
Support
Services,
such
as
those
provided
by
the
Parkinson's
foundation
and
other
organizations,
are
needed
to
find
more
effective
treatments
and
to
provide
access
to
Quality
Care
to
those
living
with
the
disease.
Today
now,
therefore,
I
Esther
manheimer,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Asheville,
do
hereby
Proclaim
April
2023
as
Parkinson's
Awareness
Month
in
the
city
of
Asheville.
E
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
mannheimer
and
the
city
council
for
giving
us
a
segment
of
your
busy
agenda
today.
This
is
most
of
what
I
was
going
to
say
is
in
the
proclamation,
so
I'm
going
to
be
very
brief.
It
mentions
in
here
that
there's
a
million
people
with
Parkinson's,
but
there's
probably
five
million
people
affected
by
Parkinson's,
the
the
caregivers,
the
family
members
Are.
All
a
part
of
the
disease.
E
So
we
need
a
lot
of
help
and
there's
a
house
bill
85-85
that
was
reintroduced
in
this
session.
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
if
it
has
a
new
number
or
not.
But
if
you
everybody
can
go
on
the
web
and
look
for
the
national
plan
to
eliminate
Parkinson
and
there's
a
form
you
can
send
to
your
Congressman
to
tell
them
to
support
that
bill.
E
H
E
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
there's
a
million
or
so
diagnosed
with
Parkinson's
and
how
there's
many
many
more,
who
are
undiagnosed
I
was
diagnosed
12
years
ago.
But
the
disease
started
me
long
before
that
I'm
here,
representing
the
Parkinson's
support
group
of
Asheville,
we're
working
hard
to
to
include
everybody
that
has
Parkinson's
in.
D
E
Sort
of
a
assistance
we're
growing
and
there's
probably
2500
people
in
Western,
North
Carolina
that
have
Parkinson's,
and
we
should
all
get
behind
the
the
legislative
agenda
to
make
the
bill
passed
to
in
Parkinson's.
D
D
A
A
I
Whereas
North
Carolina
residents
of
businesses
waste
approximately
2.5
million
tons
of
food
each
year
and
whereas
food
loss
and
waste
could
be
reduced
to
improve
our
environment,
health
and
food
access
through
strategic
prevention,
rescue
and
recycling
actions,
and
whereas
this
is
an
opportunity
to
redirect
edible
food
to
nourish
our
state's
residents,
with
an
adequate
access
to
food
from
the
55.9
percent
national
food
supply
that
is
sent
to
landfills.
And
whereas
it
is
estimated
that
at
least
57
500
tons
of
food
waste.
I
I
450
cars
removed
from
the
road
and
whereas
therefore,
now
our
mayor,
Esther
manheimer
of
the
city
of
Asheville,
declares
and
proclaims
April
as
the
food
waste
reduction
month.
K
I'll
just
say
a
few
words:
I'll
try
not
to
rehash
things
that
were
just
read,
but
thanks
again
for
listening
to
the
proclamation,
my
name
is
Maggie
Gulick
and
I'm.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
food
Waste,
Solutions
Western,
North
Carolina,
which
is
a
community
of
volunteer
organizations
and
institutions.
Individuals
through
throughout
the
community,
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County,
and
in
across
Western,
North,
Carolina,
truly
and
and
I
did
a
few
words
in
support
of
the
Proclamation
as.
K
K
Excuse
me,
8
000
of
the
nearly
36
000
individual
individuals
who
are
food.
Insecure
were
children
without
reliable
access
to
Affordable,
nutritious
food
and
a
large
amount
of
that
nearly
60
000
tons
is
still
edible
food.
It's
not
just
food
scraps
and
compostable
materials.
K
Luckily,
food
waste
is
a
problem
that
can
be
solved
with
benefits
from
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
as
you
heard
that
are
associated
with
growing
and
delivering
the
food
that
doesn't
get
consumed
to
keeping
it
from
the
landfill
where
uneaten
food
currently
takes
up
more
space
than
any
other
single
material,
and
that's
true
across
the
country
and
two
in
many
cases
where
edible
food
is
diverted
from
the
trash
feeding.
Hungry
people
win
wins
all
around
again.
K
I
I
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
food
Waste
Solutions
we've
got
five
working
groups
focusing
on
food
access
and
justice
composting,
education,
redistribution
and
restaurants
and
Retail.
So
tackling
this
problem
from
you
know
a
myriad
of
of
angles
and
all
of
this
work
supports
several
City
adopted
resolutions
from
the
food
policy
action
plan
to
the
four
percent
carbon
reduction
goal,
among
others,
and
again
this
month
for
the
the
third
April
in
a
row
we
are.
K
We
are
working
on
an
education
campaign
to
engage
community
members,
provide
tips
about
how
to
reduce
food
waste
at
home,
spread.
The
word
about
programs
like
the
food
scrap
drop-off
program,
there's
now
six
across
the
county,
which,
as
you
heard,
has
kept
over
four
hundred
thousand
pounds
of
food
out
of
the
landfill
since
2021.
K
and
then
also
to
let
people
know
about
our
special
event
called
taste.
It
don't
waste
it,
which
is
a
chef's
challenge
featuring
local
Asheville
chefs,
creating
Delights
with
the
food
that
might
otherwise
be
thrown
away,
and
it's
free
to
the
public
this
year,
we're
having
it
at
the
mule,
Devil's
foot
and
there'll
be
live
music
I
highly
recommend
that
you
come.
If
you
can,
your
everyone's
invited,
you
can
see
tasty
diners,
Steve
Goff
defend
his
title
from
last
year,
so

K
Foodways.Org

excuse
me
to
learn
more
about
the
programs,
the
resources,
the
events
coming
up,
including
the
summit
and
also
if
anyone
is
interested
in
becoming
a
sponsor
for
the
summit.
That's
also
something
you

about
on

residents

A
D
A
L
Hello,
it's
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
this
evening,
mayor
manhammer,
our
liaison
Kim,
Roney
and
and
members
of
council,
it's
nice
to
be
look
in
this
direction.
Instead,.
B
L
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
here.
Thank
you
for
the
work
you
do
for
our
community.
I
must
have
hit
the
wrong
button
and
went
too
quickly
there.
We
are
so
I
am
the
board
chair
of
the
Asheville
ABC
alcohol.
It's
the
actual
Board
of
alcoholic
control,
I'm.
Also
here
tonight,
with
Mark
Combs.
L
He
has
been
our
general
manager
since
two
thousand
and
eleven.
So
the
highlights
I'll
cover
for
you
tonight
are
our
role
in
enforcing
state
regulations.
Our
customer
service
Maggie
do
I
just
press
the
down
button.
Okay,
our
role
in
customer
service
and
product
selection
are
efficient
operations,
which
translates
into
higher
distributions
for
the
city
and
the
county,
and
just
a
reminder
that
no
taxes
are
used
to
operate
North
Carolina's
ABC
system.
It
runs
on
its
own
internal
sales
and
the
community
support.
L
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
the
the
ABC
system
in
North
Carolina
was
instituted
in
1935
as
a
means
to
reduce
the
rampant
abuses
of
both
pre-prohibition
and
prohibition-
alcohol
sales.
It's
really
a
fascinating
study,
I'm
knee-deep
in
this
history
and
amazed
at
how
the
impact
of
that
time
in
our
history
has
affected
so
much
of
who
we
are
today
as
a
nation.
It's
really
fascinating.
Anybody
ever
wants
to
talk
about
it
I'm
all
in
you
know.
L
L
There
are
171
independent
ABC
boards
in
North
Carolina,
as
you
know,
there's
only
a
hundred
in
counties
so
like
in
North
Carolina
in
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County.
The
Buncombe
County
is
dry,
Asheville,
Weaverville,
Black,
Mountain
and
Woodfin
all
have
independent
ABC
boards.
L
Your
Asheville
ABC
Board
is
the
eighth
in
sales
in
the
state
where
the
fourth
in
commercial
sales
volumes
we're
in
the
top
tier
of
profitability
every
month
and
that's
looking
at
efficient
operations
versus
the
amount
we
sales
profit
and
loss,
and
we
have
a
Statewide
reputation
for
Innovation,
clean,
modern
stores,
good
customer
service
and
efficient
operations.
We're
often
involved
I
sit
on
a
state
board,
we're
involved
in
conversations
across
the
state
about
how
we
can
help
this
be
good
for
the
community
and
the
state.
L
L
L
Our
distributions
to
the
city
and
the
county
since
2013
27
million
772
277
dollars
that
that
goes
into
your
general
fund
and
you
decide
what
you
do
with
that.
We
also
have
a
distributed
drug
and
alcohol
grants
over
two
million
dollars
worth
of
those
grants.
In
10
years
we
give
almost
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
Buncombe
County
Department
of
Human
Services
and
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services.
L
We
distributed
nine
over
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
them.
Those
different
distributions
are
part
of
how
the
North
Carolina
ABC
system
is
set
up.
This
is
how
the
money
from
the
sale
of
this
product
is
going
to
be
used
and
keep
in
mind.
These
are
just
the
distributions
from
Spirits
beer
and
wine
don't
contribute
to
this.
L
So
these
are
some
of
the
groups
that
we've
supported
last
year.
First
at
Blue,
Ridge
Homeward,
Bound,
Next,
Step
recovery,
helpmate
Arc
of
Buncombe
County,
our
voice,
Asheville
12
stealth.
Delta
house
life
development
and
then
we
have
an
internal
program.
That
is
that
we
do
called
prom
promise
where
we
work
with
local
schools.
We're
proud
to
say
that
since
we
have
been
doing
this
program,
there's
never
there's
never
been
a
child
who
hasn't
come
home
from
prom.
L
We
work
with
the
schools
to
make
sure
that
they
do
something
with
the
kids,
the
kids
do
it
themselves,
but
it's
all
about.
Don't
you
don't
have
to
drink,
to
have
fun.
So
so
it's
been
a
really
rewarding
program.
We
also
are
very
involved
in
a
be
responsible
campaign
on
the
radio
hosting
coaches
and
supporting
the
idea
that
you
can
drink
alcohol
responsibly.
L
North
Carolina
a
b
system,
ABC
system
is
modernizing.
We
have
a
great
new
leader
at
the
top.
He
comes
from
a
distribution
system.
Originally
he
understands
how
those
that's
the
weakest
link
in
running
a
huge
Statewide
Consortium
is
how
you
get
the
product
moving
along
and
so
I.
Actually,
the
next
slide
I
should
do
that.
L
So
he
is
working
on
Statewide
distribution
and
Warehouse
improvements,
because
that'll
be
the
key
to
making
sure
we
have
the
product
timely
fashion
and
get
it
to
to
people
as
we
need
it
is
that
a
picture
of
him.
L
Well,
this
year,
we
the
things
that
have
happened
this
year
already
is
we
have
a
big
support
for
North
Carolina
Distillery
is
growing
that
small,
like
just
we
saw
breweries,
grow,
we're
growing
small
local
businesses
in
The,
Distillery
industry.
Helping
them
have
shelf
space
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
if
you're
a
big
retailer,
you
don't
necessarily
want
to
have
problems
from
a
local
company
who
doesn't
sell
very
much
doesn't
do
you
any
good,
that's
shelf
space.
In
your
way,
we
all
have
a
mandate
to
make
sure
North
Carolina
products
are
featured.
L
We've
increased
our
special
orders.
We
do
more
special
orders
than
almost
anybody
in
the
state.
They've
started
delivery
to
our
mixed
beverage
customers,
so
we're
working
in
tandem
with
a
delivery
company.
They
can
call
up
and
say
we
need
to
have
this
delivered
and
then
this
third
party
company
will
come
pick
it
up
from
us
and
deliver
it
to
the
mixed,
Beverages
and
restaurants
so
that
they
can
have
the
product
when
they
need
it.
We've
instituted
tastings
in
stores.
So
you
know
a
lot
of
times,
you're
saying
what
is
this
stuff?
L
Why
am
I
going
to
buy
something
a
little
more
expensive?
Well,
you're
letting
people
taste
some
things,
it's
very
organized,
but
it's
a
very
interesting
process.
There's
now
Refrigeration
for
a
big
product
that
started
to
happen,
which
is
called
ready
to
drink
you've
seen
them
I
know,
we've
all
had
that
kind
of
look
Refrigeration
in
the
ABC
Store.
L
So
it's
like
gin
and
tonics
to
go
Mojitos
to
go.
People
will
take
them
to
a
party
or
to
an
event
or
take
them
home
and
once
they
get
there
be
able
to
enjoy
them
ready
to
go.
There's
been
changes
to
the
whole
bars
situation
in
North.
Carolina
no
longer
has
to
be
a
membership
organization
and
there's
a
push
for
larger
retail
stores
so
that
there's
an
ability
to
get
more
product
in
front
of
people.
We
we
have
and
I
I'm,
showing
you
pictures
of
our
stores.
L
L
As
I
said
the
next
on
for
the
Statewide
ABC,
this
Warehouse
is,
will
be
a
big
deal
and
it's
something
that
needs
to
happen.
It's
where
all
the
pinch
points
are
in
the
system.
Expanded
product
choice,
there's
a
lot
going
on
behind
the
scenes.
How
we
make
sure
that
that's
the
one
complaint
you'll
hear
from
people
is
I
can't
get
this
thing.
I
can
get
in
Colorado.
Well
we're
working
on
it.
L
We're
trying
to
do
it
and
having
a
larger
Warehouse
will
help
that
and
then
developing
and
creating
the
commercial
customer
Partnerships
that
are
key
to
communities.
Good
restaurants,
good
places,
hotels,
you
know,
Grove
Park
Inn
is
like
the
second
biggest
customer
in
the
state,
something
to
keep
in
mind
that
that's
a
lot.
That's
that's!
That's
our
job
serving
them
make
sure
they
can
serve
their
clientele.
L
So
that's
a
little
overview.
That's
one
of
our
stores.
You
can
see
that
they're
very
attractive
stores
and
we'd
like
you
to
come
visit
them
if
you,
if
you
would
like
and
if
you
have
any
questions
for
us,
we're
happy
to
answer.
I
have
a
question.
Yes,.
L
Well,
I
think
in
a
lot
of
places,
that's
where
people
say
we
need
to
privatize,
because
the
stores
aren't
big
enough.
We
have
our
stores.
We
are
big
big
enough
for
the
most
part,
but
there
are
so
many
more
products.
It's
just
like
remember
a
few
years
ago,
like
food,
the
foodie
thing
was
growing
and
people
were
trying
more
and
more
different
foods
and
there's
more
products
out
there.
There
are
growing
amounts
of
products
in
The,
Distillery
and
the
spirits.
C
B
L
And
you're
exactly
right:
I
do
we
don't
happen
to
believe
that
it
needs
to
be
in
the
same
store
if
that
does
come
to
fruition.
We
do
think
that,
and
we
want
to
remind
people
that
North
Carolina
has
one
of
the
most
successful
control
systems
in
the
country.
Every
state
does
it
differently,
but
we
are
really
high
in
profitability,
reduced
impacts
and
costs.
So
there's
there
there's
that
sweet
spot
of
making
it
work
for
the
community
and
yet
giving
people
the
liberty
and
the
freedom
to
buy
a
product.
That's
that
they
want.
L
We
think
that
North
Carolina
I
think
the
North
Carolina
ABC's.
The
system
would
be
the
right
way
to
do
cannabis,
but
that
conversation
is
not
being
had
right
at
this
point
in
time.
Larger
stories
just
mean
very.
B
L
The
thing
to
keep
in
mind
what
I
love
about
the
ABC
system.
It
is
very
clear
what
the
rules
are.
There's
there's
no
wiggle
room
on
these
rules.
The
rules
are
very
clear.
Now
the
clip
the
rules
need
to
be
changed
periodically
and
brought
up
to
date
and
modernized,
as
you
all
deal
with
things
all
the
time.
L
So
there
is
a
licensing
process.
There
are
issues
that
come
up.
Changing
dynamics
of
communities
come
up
against
old
rules
and
those
things
need
to
be
tweaked.
B
L
B
L
We
just
follow
the
rules
and
so
where
the
rules
are
made
or
the
is
in
our
state
legislature
and
that's
where
the
tweaks
are
being
made.
That's
where
the
changes
and
but
we
just
there,
there's
no
room
in
the
ABC
system
for
individual
stores
to
like
make
up
rules.
We
can
be
creative
in
terms
of
like
within.
L
L
L
C
If
I
might
I
just
want
to
say,
it's
been
a
real
pleasure
to
be
the
liaison,
though
I
had
to
do
in
my
previous
role
in
the
food
service
industry
ordering
through
the
system
getting
to
see
the
process
and
the
focus
on
customer
service
and
quality
operations
has
been
eye-opening
and
a
real
pleasure
I
think
we
have
great
quality
staff.
C
I
also
wanted
to
name
appreciation
for
the
highlighting
of
local
distillers,
which
we
know
is
possible
because
of
our
control
system,
even
though
it's
a
small,
it's
a
small
But
Mighty
number,
and
it's
important
later
today.
We
are
scheduled
as
this
body
to
make
an
appointment
to
the
five-member,
ABC,
Board
and
I
just
want
to
say
thanks
to
Sharon
West
for
her
years
of
service
on
our
ABC
Board,
absolutely.
L
F
Right,
I'll
just
make
some
brief
introductory
comments
and
then
we're
going
to
send
it
over
to
Jay
Dennis,
who
is
the
director
of
our
capital
projects
Department.
As
you
all
know,
we
have
been
trying
to
provide
you
all
with
kind
of
quarterly
updates
regarding
the
capital
Improvement
program.
This
is
one
of
those
updates
and
I'll
just
turn
out
with
a
J.
What
I?
F
What
I
will
say,
though,
is
that
in
terms
of
funding
and
so
forth,
we're
kind
of
coming
to
the
limits
of
of
Revenue
that
we
have
available
to
fund
some
much
needed
projects
and
especially
after
we
finish
our
assessment
of
facilities,
we're
we're,
anticipating
lots
of
needs
going
into
the
future
and
so
jade
I'll.
Let
you
give
an
update
on
what
we
did
with
our
existing
Geo
bonds.
G
Thank
you,
Deborah
Jayden's
capital
projects
director.
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Council
for
the
opportunity
to
present
tonight
really
wanted
to
I.
Guess
start
out
by
talking
about
the
three
main
areas
that
we're
going
to
highlight.
Deborah
is
absolutely
correct
is
that
we
are
working
on
a
comprehensive
study
which
Walter
was
here
in
front
of
you
last
work
session
last
week
or
two
weeks
ago
and
talked
about
the
what
we're
finding
out
about
our
facilities.
G
So
there
is
a
price
tag
associated
with
that
and
we'll
continue
to
roll
those
out
those
those
findings
out
over
time.
Today's
presentation
really
focuses
on
three
areas:
taught
an
update
on
the
bond
and
the
challenges
that
we're
experiencing
right
now
and
how
we're
trying
to
overcome
those
challenges.
G
Focus
area
is
requested.
We
talk
about
City,
Hall
projects
and
get
an
update
on
that.
To
spell
some
rumors
about
some
of
the
floor
potentially
and
then
also
to
talk
about
highlight
a
public
art
project,
that's
going
on
right
now
for
the
Broadway
public
safeties
safety
station.
So
the
key
takeaways
of
this
presentation,
our
public
engagement,
remains
top
priority
for
the
capital
construction
projects.
G
G
Bidding
environment
currently
is
producing
fewer
bidders,
but
staff
is
working
on
how
to
keep
projects
on
schedule
and
within
a
budget
we'll
focus
on
that.
A
little
bit
more
staff
continues
to
make
necessary
Improvement
City
Hall,
prioritizing
improvements
that
require
to
maintain
the
day
of
the
use
of
the
facility
and
that's
a
pretty
key
part
of
this
presentation.
G
2016
Geo
Bond
projects
need
to
be
encumbered
by
mid-october.
We
had
I
have
been
up
here
before
telling
you
that
we
had
committed
to
a
summer
deadline
where
we
were
trying
to
get
as
much
moved
as
fast
as
we
can.
But
again,
the
challenges
that
I'll
highlight
are
really
kind
of
affecting
those
those
delivery
dates
and
then
we're
working
to
increase
by
participation
in
the
contractor
bidding
pool.
G
There's
a
there's
a
busy
slide,
but
I
really
wanted
to
use
it
to
illustrate
the
the
things
that
are
necessary
for
us
to
go
through
in
order
to
get
a
project
from
design
to
award
a
check
boxes
indicate
where
we
have
completed
the
tasks.
The
gray
areas
are
either
not
applicable
because
of
the
funding
source
or
in
the
second
bid
opening
column.
G
It
represents
dates
that
might
be
necessary,
but
at
this
point
in
time,
hopefully
they
won't
be
just
to
kind
of
walk
this
through,
for
example,
the
the
first
section
projects
under
the
sidewalk
setting
include
the
bond
sidewalks
projects.
We
are
near
completion
of
design
on
all
of
those
and
we
have
bid
a
couple
of
them
recently.
That's
the
antiora
and
the
patent
Avenue
projects.
Unfortunately,
in
those
situations
we
only
got,
we
got
Limited
bidders
in
North
Carolina.
G
We
have
to
have
three
bidders
to
open
up
a
project,
otherwise
we
have
to
hand
give
the
bids
back
to
unopened
back
to
the
contractors
and
then
open
it
for
another
or
post
it
for
another
period
of
time
limit
at
the
minimum
two
weeks.
As
you
can
see
here,
we've
taken
ontiora
and
patent
and
kind
of
distribute
them
over
a
longer
period
of
time.
Well,
I
talked
about
scheduling,
we're
hoping
that
by
separating
the
bid
dates
that
we
can
attract
more
bidders.
G
So
again,
the
the
three
columns
on
the
right
here
represent
what
we
hope
would
be
the
the
absolute
bid
dates.
The
second
column
that
has
mostly
grade
spots
are
really
what
we're
reserving
for
a
second
bid
opportunity,
and
then
the
last
column
on
the
right
is
when
we
anticipate
these
coming
to
council.
As
you
can
see,
some
of
these
have
pushed
back
off
of
the
summer.
A
self-imposed
deadline
to
a
little
bit
later
in
the
fall
I
will
highlight
at
the
the
very
last
project.
G
The
Murphy
Oakley
playground
was
one
project
that
we
didn't
know
that
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
afford
when
we
set
out
to
to
do
the
project,
but
we
had
a
funds,
a
balance
of
funds
at
the
end,
and
so
we
were
able
to
really
take
advantage
of
that
and
add
that,
as
as
I
mentioned,
bitter
turnout
is
currently
a
big
challenge
for
us
these,
resulting
in
Project
delays.
G
Because,
again,
when
we
have
to
repost
a
project
for
a
minimum
of
two
weeks
and
and
sometimes
as
much
as
a
month
month
and
a
half,
it
really
does
have
a
huge
impact
on
the
schedule
so
really
hoping
that
those
those
first
bitter
bid
dates
are
really
going
to
produce
more
bitters
in
the
future.
They're
also
causing
higher
prices.
G
When
we
have
limited
the
value
of
multiple
bidders
is
competitiveness
we're
seeing
prices
going
up
not
only
because
of
Market,
but
we
also
believe
because
we're
getting
fewer
bidders,
so
we
are
produced
providing
additional
Outreach
we're
trying
to
work
with
the
dot
when
we're
adjacent
to
their
roads
for
scheduling
adjustments.
A
lot
of
that
work
has
to
be
done
at
night.
So
we're
trying
to
work
with
them
to
adjust
schedules
that
make
these
jobs
more
attractive
for
the
bidding.
The
the
contractors
out
there.
G
One
other
thing
that
we're
doing
and
have
have
done
is
through
the
business
inclusion
office
have
contracted
with
CA
Harris
Construction
Services
Incorporated,
to
help
improve
contract
and
inclusivity
and
to
address
existing
Contracting
disparities.
This
this
contractor
has
had
proven
experience
with
the
Maple
Crest
project
worked
with
and
developed
there
to.
G
G
Property
acquisition
process
it
was
there
was
it
was
in
the
in
the
previous
table,
but
it
is
a
lengthy
process.
It
can
be
a
lengthy
process.
We've
had
a
lot
of
success.
Every
time
you
build
a
sidewalk
project.
This
is
why
actually
sidewalk
projects
are
are
fairly
complicated
is
because
they
are
all
adjacent
to
privately
owned
property,
and
so,
in
a
lot
of
cases,
not
all
but
a
lot
of
cases,
we
have
to
acquire
property
in
order
to
build
them.
G
We've
had
a
lot
of
success
through
our
projects
and
being
able
to
acquire
that
property.
We
have
had
three
of
the
bond
projects
that
are
highlighted
as
as
having
have
some
condemnation,
processes,
ontiora
is
one
which
is
was
recently
bid
and
it's
going
to
be
bid
here
again
in
a
couple
weeks.
I
think
next
week
just
want
to
know
and
but
that
the
condemnation
proceedings
have
happened
through
Council
a
time
ago,
a
year
or
two
ago,
the.
G
M
When
it
comes
to
bipod
participation,
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
have
been
keeping
our
finger
on
the
pulse
when
it
comes
to
a
lot
of
black
owned
dump,
truck
operator
operators
and
family
owned
operations,
it
seems
like
if
we
did
some
type
of
vendor
preparedness
program
where
their
experience
can
be
converted
into
bidding.
Then
we
can
increase
our
numbers
from
the
time
that
the
pandemic
starting
started
I'm,
seeing
more
trucking
businesses
in
the
black
community.
So.
N
Let's
have
a
conversation
about
that
at
your
convenient
you
mentioned,
CA
Harris
had
the
opportunity
when
I
was
working
at
a
non-profit
that
did
affordable
housing
to
work
with
him
and
he's
had
great
success
with
that
property.
I
believe
he
was
able
to
get
minority
contracting
up
to
40
percent.
That's
never
happened
in
Asheville
I
happen
to
have
a
conversation.
N
Here
at
Maple
Crest,
so
I
I
was
having
a
conversation
with
him
last
week
and
he
is
particularly
interested
in
fostering
smaller
businesses,
preparing
them
to
get
into
a
position
to
become
eventual
bitters,
so
I'm
sure
he
would
love
to
yeah
yeah.
M
To
speak
with
you
to
learn
who
they,
who
they
are:
the
tech
of
people,
Trucking
and
Hauling,
and
now
I'm,
seeing
people
expand
from
like
one
man,
trucks
to
to
two
and
three.
So
when
I'm,
following
that,
I'm
like
we
need
to
tap
into
that
and
make
sure
that
they
feel
confident
to
go
after
a
government
bid.
Yeah.
I
F
F
So
and
that's
the
reason
and
that's
the
reason
that
we
hired
someone
outside
because
we
knew
we
couldn't
do
all
of
that
research
and
the
heavy
lifting
internally.
But
we
know
that
that
is
definitely
a
priority
for
the
city
and
Council
to
be
as
inclusive
as
possible,
particularly
since
our
last
disparity
study
said
that
we're
not
performing.
So
we
are
trying
to
get
better
at
that.
To
do
the
kind
of
the
kind
of
Outreach
and
the
you
know.
F
F
But
if
we
could
help
them,
that's
part
of
it
as
well,
not
just
getting
them
into
the
door,
but
also
getting
them
prepared
to
come
to
the
door
or
to
another
door.
Because.
D
F
C
That's
correct:
I
have
a
question
about
that.
What
is
the
you
mentioned,
contract
Pursuit,
especially
because
we're
short
on
bids?
So
what
does
that?
Look
like
because
I
look
at
item
F
on
the
consent
agenda,
and
it
gives
me
some
some
understanding
about
the
difficulty
where
they're
only
one
person
participates,
but
they
don't
submit
a
bid
and
I
just
wondered
if
our
all
of
our
Outreach
positions
are
staffed
in
City
Hall
to
be
able
to
do
that.
Direct
Outreach
and
relationship
building.
G
So
we're
doing
Outreach
across
the
organization.
You
know
I
think
we're
experiencing
these.
These
limit
limited
bid,
turnout
on
organizationally,
the
really
the
only
area
that
we
haven't
experienced
that
is
Road
resurfacing.
Public
Works
has
gotten
some
good
good
bid,
turnout
and
actually
good
bids.
G
As
a
result
of
that
we
are,
we
typically
have
project
managers
that
are
are
trying
to
shepherding
through
the
design
and
then
also
the
bidding
process
they're
most
knowledgeable
they're,
reaching
out
to
those
General
Contractors,
especially
when
we
have
a
better
turnout,
they'll
double
their
efforts
to
get
out
there
and
try
to
understand
why
we're
we're
seeing
limited
bids
and
try
to
help
again.
G
If
there's
modifications
we
can
make
to
schedules
working
hours,
those
are
things
that
we're
trying
to
consider
consider
so
we're
definitely
trying
to
reach
out
to
the
Contracting
Community
to
to
help
improve
that
turnout.
C
G
E
G
Would
definitely
our
purchasing
department
is
got
the
bid
page
I
know
that
there's
a
Twitter
there
are
I
think
there
are
various
methods
of
communication
through
there,
I
don't
know
all
of
them,
but
certainly
anything
that
we
can
do
to
help
expand.
That
being.
F
And
one
other
thing
that
the
same
way
that
we
are
having
employment
challenges
contractors
are
having
the
same
employment
challenges
as
well.
It's
just
not
enough
people
to
do
the
work,
and
that's
why
we
are
trying
to
do
as
many
Innovative
things
that
we
can
to
increase
that
pool
of
available
resources
to
help
us
get
some
of
these
jobs
done.
C
Question-Ish
things
well,
first
of
all,
I
just
wanted
to
say
I'm
glad
the
Murphy
Oakley
playground
is
added
to
the
list.
It's
going
to
be
an
inclusive
playground.
I
got
to
participate
in
the
input
process
with
some
neighbors.
It
was
curated
by
Rebecca,
Laurie
and
Susanna.
They
did
an
awesome
job.
It
was
Valentine's
they
had
like
Valentine
making
tables.
It
was
really
precious.
C
C
But
that
made
me
wonder,
is
the
dashboard
up
to
date,
because
if
you
Google
Asheville
Bond
dashboard,
it's
really
easy
to
see
that
tool
and
I
think
it
was
a
great
example
of
how
we're
able
to
communicate
with
the
work
that
we
do
with
the
public.
But
if
it's
not
up
to
date,
it
wouldn't
be
useful.
So
do
we
know.
G
If
it's
up
to
date,
yeah,
we
try
to
keep
it
up
today.
We
so
the
the
financials.
G
Daily
but
the
more
the
narrative
and
the
explanation
of
the.
C
It's
a
really
great
tool:
I
use
it
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it
was
up
to
date,
but
that
made
me
think,
as
we
get
close
to
this
deadline
and-
and
we
start
to
feel
that
pinch
like
oh
things,
got
to
be
done.
Do
we
have
like
a
list
of
five
things
that
need
to
get
done
that
we
could
substitute
in
if,
for
some
reason
we
got
in
a
pinch
point
so.
G
C
G
To
identify
the
project
like
Mercury
Oakley,
we
really
we,
we
had
made
a
lot
of
progress
with
the
parks,
Bond,
and
so
we've
really
set
out
to
try
to
figure
out
what
was
next
and
you
know
the
next
several
projects,
and
so
we
were
able
to
with.
H
G
With
working
with
Parks
able
to
roll
that
one
in
pretty
quick,
the
items
that
we
have,
we
don't
believe
we're
gonna
have
any
additional
funds
in
in
the
transportation,
but
they.
D
G
C
Well,
I
can
speak
from
as
a
former
member
of
the
transit
committee
we
had
talked
about
potentially.
Could
we
have
a
low-cost,
fast
option
for
stops
that
are
never
going
to
be
able
to
have
a
full
bus,
stop
and
ADA
Compliant
Landing
place,
but
could
have
a
fold-out
seat
for
people
while
they're
waiting
and
it
was
a
very
low
cost
and
we
were
often
told
if
there's
funds
left.
So
that's
something
that
was
like
if
it
has
to
stay
in
its
Lane.
C
But
another
thing
is,
as
I
was
riding
the
bus
a
couple
weeks
ago,
I
noticed
that
some
of
the
bond
project
stops
had
had
issues.
So,
if
are
we
hoping
that
we'll
like
go
back
and
look
and
say
like
these
are
the
things
we
committed
to
doing
here's
their
current
status
and
it's
all
still
done
because
it
seemed
like
maybe
some
things.
G
Early
and
those
are
certainly
something
that
we
could,
if
we
need,
if
we
had
access
funds,
we
could
we
could
identify
another
round
of
bus
stops.
G
G
G
Projects
seventh
floor:
we
did
some
design
and-
and
we
have
the
full
design
of
what
that
upfit
would
look
like
an
environmental
assessment.
We
did
a
fully
Abate
that
Pro
that
that
floor.
So
it's
ready
for
funding
but
are
ready
for
renovation.
We
just
with
all
the
other
projects
that
we
had
and
their
costs.
We
just
didn't,
have
the
money
to
put
into
that
again
to
dispel
the
rumor
that
it's
being
used
for
something
other
than
open
space.
G
Here's
here
are
pictures
that
were
taken
last
week
of
seventh
floor
again
seventh
floor
before
the
abatement.
It
looked
like
every
other
floor
in
city
hall,
with
the
interior
walls,
the
the
glass
and
it
was
totally
cleared
out
of
all
of
that
and
environmentally
cleaned
for
any
kind
of
asbestos
or
lead-based
paint
materials.
So.
H
G
Fully
ready
to
move
forward,
but
this
is
its
current
condition.
C
I
have
a
question
about
that,
since
I
did
I
mean
I
I
do
hear
like.
Is
there
a
hotel
in
the
top
City
Hall?
What's
going
on
up
there?
When
was
the
design
approved,
I,
don't
remember,
seeing
visuals
or
like
a
plan,
maybe
I
missed
it.
The
design
for
the.
A
Floor
I
heard
there
was
200
that
we
did
I
mean
that
would
have
like.
A
G
A
I
G
So
this
building
is
it's
still
in
its
hundred
years,
and
so
it's
definitely
going
to
need
some
additional
funds
and
then
also
as
we
grow
in
Staffing
right
now.
We're
not
pushed
to
need
this
space
as
I
mentioned
last
or
two
weeks
ago,
but
this
will
eventually
be
necessary
and
eighth
floor
will
require
similar
treatment
as
well.
G
So
just
to
remind
everybody
what
the
before
pictures
of
the
elevator
project
look
like
this
is
the
cab
finishes
before
really
interesting
pieces
of
the
controls
here.
Are
you
know,
1926
error
controls.
This
is
one
half
of
the
mechanical
pieces
for
there's
on
on
the
left
side
of
the
mark
of
the
picture
here.
G
There's
another
set
of
large
generators,
I
believe
they
were
equally
equal
in
size
and
then
I
also
just
want
to
point
out
that,
in
the
background
you
can
see
open
like
lattice
and
and
structural
beams,
and
all
these
just
bear
that
in
mind
or
keep
that
in
mind
until
we
go
to
the
next
and
then
also
the
controls
are
pictured
here
in
this
in
the
upper
right
hand
corner.
So
you
fast
forward
to
today
the
finishes
were
actually
recreated.
G
Based
upon
the
what
we
were
able
to
investigate
through
research
and
then
also
through
some
testing
of
the
materials,
what
it
would
look
like
what
it
would
have
looked
like
in
1926,
those
old
controls
open
boards
are
now
contained
in
these
modern
day,
control
units
control,
cabinets,
everything
that
was
in
those
large
spaces
is
controlled
in
here.
The
upgrade
of
the
cap
controls
allows
us
to
modernize,
make
all
the
buttons
functional,
but
there
are
safety
improvements
here
as
well.
G
These
these
modern
elevators
are
equipped
not
only
with
call
buttons
for
voice,
but
they're,
also
video
monitored
as
well,
which
is
local,
which
is
a
which
is
a
modern
elevator
code.
So
we
had
to
bring
them
up
to
the
standard,
Code
Compliance
and
then
also
this
is
this:
is
the
entire
mechanical
equipment.
So,
like
I
said,
you
had
the
three
big
units
on
that
were
in
the
previous
picture
and
then
three
other
big
units.
D
E
G
D
G
Project
up
there,
additionally,
as
800
000
Plus
on
boilers,
modernized
boilers.
These
are
high
efficiency
boilers
that
provide
additional
redundancy
just
for
the
purposes
of
context
and
then
again
the
building
has
terracotta
along
the
outsides
at
the
at
the
cupola,
and
this
is
the
condition
the
left
and
the
right
photos
or
the
conditions
of
this
thing
before
this.
This
most
recent
project
and
they
can
see
they're,
cracked
and
the
ground
joints
are-
are
open.
The.
G
H
G
Quick
I'm
about
done
here
so
any
questions
on
City
Hall
projects.
I
G
It
to
the
21st
century
here
all
right.
So
to
conclude,
we
are
working
on
a
public
art
project.
You
see
the
background
the
Broadway
Public
Safety
station,
which
is
under
construction.
It
will
have
a
public
art
project
and
we
are
down
to
two
possible
pieces,
one
of
one
we're
just
going
to
build
the
one,
but
these
are
the
two
possible
options.
G
G
The
the
unique
the
the
res
the
the
public
piece
of
this
and
the
residential
the
residence
input
is
that
there's
these
will
be
covered
with
tiles
that
are
handmade
through
events.
The
last
tile
making
event
is
tomorrow
at
April
12th
at
6
pm
to
8
P.M
Odyssey
playworks
in
the
river
Arts
districts
at
236,
clingman
Avenue
show
up
and
you
can
make
tiles
like
these.
These
people
have
and
then
these
tiles
will
be
glazed
and
fired
and
then
included
into
the
art
piece.
So.
H
G
Is
Alex
Irvine?
He
has
worked
directly
with
Asheville
City
Schools
foundation
in
Real
Life
program
project
management
staff
has
been
very,
very
they've,
reached
out
into
the
community
to
to
get
feedback
on
the
project
as
a
whole,
but
very
specifically
the
art
project,
and
then
they've
also
worked
with
the
local
institutions
to
encourage
people
to
participate
and
provide
their
feedback
and
have
worked
with
the
Greater
Works
Community
Church
in
that
Navy
neighborhood
to
represent
those
to
represent
the
community
again.
A
A
Okay,
Council.
We
have
one
public
hearing
item
tonight,
not
support
Karen,
to
consider
an
ordinance
to
approve
an
annexation
agreement
between
the
city
of
Asheville
and
the
town
of
Woodfin
design,
designating
a
non-contiguous
area
as
not
subject
to
annexation
by
the
city
of
Asheville
and
will
Palmquist
is
here
to
present
this
item
to
us
again.
Thank.
P
You
mayor
members,
Council
willpump
was
the
planning
Urban
Design,
let's
be
a
little
a
little
different
than
what
I
usually
present
on
right
with
some
technical
issues
with
one
of
the
TVs,
but
hopefully
it
comes
back
online
for
the
audience.
P
P
It's
for
three
properties,
as
shown
here,
you
can
see
the
overall
location
map
and
then
the
detailed
map
as
well
go
back
to
read
that
the
addresses
are
810,
Elk,
Mountain,
Scenic,
Highway
and
9999
Mundy
Cove
Road,
as
you
can
see
on
this
map,
the
subject
property,
as
measured
from
the
closest
point,
is
closer
to
the
city
of
Asheville
than
it
is
the
town
of
Woodfin
and
I'll
mention
why
this
is
important
in
a
minute.
P
P
Properties
non-contiguous
to
both
the
corporate
limits
of
Asheville
and
town
of
Woodfin
and
per
our
North
Carolina
General
statutes
allows
for
the
annexation
of
non-contiguous
areas.
However,
if
an
area
or
property
is
closer
to
another
corporate
limit,
that
town
or
city
has
to
agree
and
enter
into
agreement
with
the
subject,
town
or
city
regarding
the
annexation,
it
has
been
determined
that
the
property
is
closer
to
the
town
of
Woodfin
to
the
city
of
Asheville
in
the
town
of
Woodfin.
P
So
the
pros
of
entering
into
this
annexation
agreement
would
be
would
allow
within
to
Annex
this
non-contiguous
property,
as
requested
by
the
property
owner,
and
it
would
also
allow
for
the
annexation
agreement
to
happen
as
a
necessary
step
in
order
to
be
responsive
to
the
petitioner's
requests
for
this
voluntary
annexation.
P
A
Okay,
I
think
we're
thoroughly
educated
about
this.
So
we
don't
have
anyone
signed
up
to
speak
on
the
Senate,
so
I'll
open
the
public
hearing
and
close
the
public
hearing
and
I
will
entertain
a
motion
if
anyone's
got
that
hold
up
a.
H
H
J
D
A
B
B
C
So
I
would
love
to
Second
Charles
for
the
from
the
recommendations,
if
you're
making
a
version.
No
sorry
I'm
with
you,
okay,
so
one
of
the
reasons
I'm
excited
for
Charles
to
be
appointed
to
the
Alcoholic
Beverage
Control
Board.
Is
he
attended
the
last
meeting
so
he's
already
very
active
in
the
conversation,
but
also
he
has
past
experience
as
a
small
business
licensee.
O
B
Great
thanks
yeah,
unfortunately
I
just
left
boards
and
commissions.
Earlier
today
we
only
had
two
people,
so
it
was
easier
to
do.
I.
B
B
Okay,
the
next
board
is
a
civil
service
board.
The
board
and
commissions
committee
recommends
the
reappointment
of
Carol
goings.
Is
there
a
second?
Second
all
in
favor.
C
B
Aye
any
opposed
okay,
the
homeless
initiative
advisory
committee,
the
boards
of
commission
committee
I,
will
postpone
the
future
appointment.
While
the
committee
can
see
continues
working
on
a
transition
plan.
B
So
now
we'll
move
on
to
the
neighborhood
Advisory
Board.
The
board
of
commissions
committee
recommends
the
appointment
of
Maury
balangi
to
represent
zip
code.
28806
and
28728.
Is
there
a
second
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
aye,
all
opposed
okay,
another
board
and
commissions
council
meeting
business,
the
change
to
the
appointment
schedule
a
next
month
committee
will
be
canceled.
The
next
forwards
and
commissions
council
meeting
will
be
June
13th
and
also
we'd
like
to
say
that
during
this
time
the
staff
has
come
up
with
a
plan
to
have
more
Outreach
to
the
minority
communities.
B
Unfortunately,
people
were
really
concerned
about
not
having
more
diversity
on
the
boards,
and
so
staff
asking
actually
is
working
on
a
plan.
Now
to
so,
we
can
reach
out
to
the
community
just
sort
of,
as
opposed
to
just
posting
applications
on
our
site.
So
hopefully
that
will
help
us
increase
the
boards
and
commissions
or
minorities,
and
that
concludes
supports
and
commission
business
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mayor
manheimer.
A
You
all
right
to
conclude
our
meeting.
We
have
our
general
public
comment.
We
have
three
people
signed
up
to
speak.
Each
person
is
very
experienced
in
speaking,
so
I
don't
need
to
go
through
the
rules,
but
the
first
person
signed
up
to
speak
is
Nina
tobish.
Q
Hopefully,
this
won't
be
too
glitchy,
all
right
so
pleasure
to
be
with
our
historic
for
so
many
reasons.
Council
this
evening
tonight,
I
present
the
city
of
Asheville,
also
known
as
lot
Craig's
Jim
Crow
political
science
laboratory
formulas
of
black
disenfranchisement
were
developed
in
a
political
science
laboratory
known
as
the
city
of
Asheville
in
1898,
our
City
attorney
lot.
Craig
and
avowed
white
supremacist
was
elected
to
represent
Buncombe
County
in
the
North
Carolina
general
assembly.
Q
prior
to
the
August,
2nd
1900
North
Carolina
Constitutional
Amendment,
which
was
designed
to
disenfranchise
the
black
votes.
Statewide
Asheville
was
leading
the
effort
in
this
manner
in
1896,
Asheville
had
982
black
registered
vote
voters,
which
was
36.9
percent
of
the
total.
Four
years
later
before
the
suffrage
amendment
requiring
literary
literacy
tests
and
poll
taxes,
Asheville
had
reduced
the
black
vote
to
690
voters
or
just
25.7
percent
of
the
total.
So
Asheville
was
kind
of
leading
the
way
in
Black
disenfranchisement.
Q
In
1912
lot
Craig
was
elected
governor
of
North
Carolina.
He
served
one
four-year
term
from
1913
to
1917,
during
which
time
he
tripled
the
miles
of
paved
highways
in
the
state
by
using
convict
labor
in
1915,
the
city
of
Asheville
became
the
first
city
in
the
state
to
abolish
the
aldermanic
form
of
governance
which
had
representative
Wards
or
districts.
They
were
eliminated
when
the
three-member
elected
at
large,
Asheville
Board
of
Commissioners
replaced
the
eight-member
board
of
aldermen
and
in
1924
lot
Craig
began
feeding
the
trees
and
Riverside
Cemetery.
Q
He
didn't
live
to
see
the
collapse
of
the
U.S
stock
market,
the
death
of
the
Roaring
Twenties.
However,
his
political
methods
of
black
disenfranchisement
lived
on
and
in
1931
Asheville
established
by
referendum,
a
new
city
Charter
adopted
the
council
manager
form
of
governance
and
kept
an
at-large
election
system
after
eliminating
absentee
ballot.
Voting
before
that
Wellness
Municipal
referendum,
though
unenforceable
due
to
federal
law
in
North
Carolina's
constitutional
amendment
of
1900,
remains
on
the
North
Carolina
state
constitution.
Q
Asheville
and
Wilmington
are
the
only
large
cities
in
North
Carolina
to
still
use
the
Jim
Crow
at
large
election
system
to
select
their
municipal
government
in
City
councils,
and
so
I
would
respectfully
ask
our
city
council
to
consider
these
things
in
perhaps
the
legislative
agenda
to
correct
these
two
wrongs.
Thank
you
very
much
and
have
a
good
night.
You
look
very
sunny.
D
O
Foreign,
it
could
be
done
in
two
ways,
and
just
very
briefly,
the
general
assembly
always
has
the
ability
to
amend
our
Charter,
which
is
where
our
election
system
is
defined.
We
as
a
city
have
a
limited
authority
to
amend
our
Charter,
and
this
is
one
of
the
ways
that
we
can
do
it.
It
was
most
recently
done
in
2000.
It's.
R
Good
evening,
city,
council
and
mannheimer
I
wanted
to
first
thank
Jonathan
for
that
presentation.
I
thought
it
was
really
worthwhile
to
look
at
and
other
than
that.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
a
person
that
I
bumped
into
in
the
community
she's
great
cam,
McQueen
and
I
were
talking
about
kind
of
in
outside
of
the
box
idea
for
transportation.
R
I
spoke
about
it,
a
similar
idea,
of
course,
with
the
Netflix
documentary
featuring.
There
is
a-
and
you
know
like
a
raised
rail
kind
of
you
know
mode
of
transportation,
and
just
so
happens
that
that
cam
had
been
really
researching
this
topic
in
a
different
way.
It's
other
than
the
one
featured
in
you
know
that
documentary,
but
Kim
is
familiar
with
something
that
is
a
solar
powered
kind
of
system
that
may
be
able
to
be
done
in
a
phased
in
a
phased
in
approach.
R
So
obviously
we
don't
control
everything
here
with
how
the
right-of-ways
would
work,
but
there
would
be
a
potential
to
do
kind
of
a
city
Only
pilot
that
really
could
help
move
towards
reasonable
Solutions
right
now.
The
roads
are
just
crazy.
If
you
try
to
turn
left
onto
Riverside
from
the
foundation,
you
know
you
might
wait
five
minutes,
because
people
don't
pay
attention
to
25
miles
an
hour
there,
and
it's
just
going
to
become
more
of
more
of
an
issue
and
I'm
just
asking
for
Council
to
be
open
to
looking
at
different
methods.
R
J
A
Of
a
6
15
ending
tonight
and
my
clocks
was
6
16.,
so
you
know
it
was
key.
Just
close
all
right
Council,
we
do
not
have
a
closer.
We
do.
We
do.
I
Question

okay.
