state

provide
funding

Have
a
brief
comment:
Mr
chair
sometime
I
go
back
in
the
spring.
In
fact
it
was
probably
March.
I
was
contacted
by
one
of
my
constituents
who
requested
that
the
tennis
courts,
or
a
tennis
court,
at
least
over
at
the
Bedford
rec
center
and
I,
believe
that
property
belongs
to
the
county.
Would
that
be
correct
behind
the
health
department?
He
asked
that
the
tennis
court,
be
you,
know,
repaired
and
brought
into
usable
condition
and
I
spoke
to
I.
B
It
seems
like
I've
I've,
uncovered
areas
in
the
school
system,
where
we've
got
weeds,
growing
out
of
relatively
new
gutters
and
and
and
issues
that
that
again
appear
to
be
neglected.
But
this
is
this
tennis
court
thing
I
mean
it
appears
to
me
that
perhaps
the
rec
department
could
have
gone
over
there
and
sprayed
some
weed
killer
killed
the
weeds,
that's
trying
to
grow
up
through
the
asphalt
put
some
crack
filler
in
it,
I
mean
I've,
I've
maintained
asphalt,
I
have
commercial
properties
of
my
own.
B
We
maintain
our
asphalt
and
it's
better
to
maintain
it
than
it
is
to
neglect
it
because
the
longer
it's
neglected,
the
worse
it
becomes
and
then
the
more
it
costs
when
you
finally
do
decide
to
fix
it
and
and
our
citizens
pay
their
taxes
and
and
have
the
right
to
expect
us
to
keep
up
our
recreational
facilities,
as
well
as
the
other
facilities
that
that
they're
paying
their
taxes.
For.
B
Is
it
have
a
pickleball
player
himself
and
I?
Wish
him
a
speedy
return
to
the
court,
but
but
anyway,
one
other
issue,
so
I'd
like
to
see
to
it
that
we
can't
get
our
rec
department
to
do
a
better
job,
maintaining
our
facilities
and
and
one
other
facility
that
I'm
troubled
about
is
the
as
I
understand
it
to
Liberty
Lake
ball
field.
There's
a
couple
Fields
over
there
that
we've
recently
received
and
notice
that
have
rocks
and
and
stuff
coming
up
through
the
soil
and
and
I
can
easily
understand
how
that
happens.
B
I
mentioned
earlier
in
the
work
session,
how
I
grew
up
on
a
large
farm
and
my
father
actually
with
the
Leonard
bays
and
Dennis
Bay
is
bulldozed
about
500
Acres
of
trees
that
you
know
had
it
been
dealt
with
and
then,
of
course,
there
were
stumps
and
then
roots
and
rocks
that
were
on
top
of
the
soil
and
my
brother
and
I
spent
years
picking
up
roots
and
rocks
because
every
year,
even
after
the
soil
was,
we
was
seeded.
We
got
grass
growing
roots
and
rocks
continue.
B
The
Rocks
anyway
continue
to
come
up
through
the
soil,
as
it
settles
and
so
I
think.
What
we're
talking
about
here
at
Liberty,
Lake
Park,
is,
is
this.
Soil
is
doing
some
settling
and
rocks
and
such
are
coming
up,
and
maybe
it
was
you
know,
fill
dirt
Laden
with
rocks
and
even
bricks,
because
I
have
seen
a
picture
of
it
thanks
to
Mr
hiss
about
what
they
had
picked
up.
A
C
A
B
All
right,
I
have
on
that
note:
Mr
tuck
I
think
we
need
some
VDOT
funding
to
deal
with
Johnson
grass
growing
on
the
sides
of
the
roads.
I
thought
I
was
the
only
one
who
noticed
it,
but
Saturday
I
ran
into
a
gentleman
here
in
Bedford.
Who
was
he
actually
I
said
something
about
Johnson
grass
on
the
side
of
the
roads
and
and
I
was
told
that
VDOT
didn't
have
the
funding
to
spray
it
and
when
I
told
him
he
said
spray
it.
B
The
stuff
is
head
tall
now
and
it's
leading
over
in
the
roads.
He
says
when
you
drive
by
it
with
your
pickup.
It
hits
the
mirrors
and
I
had
to
agree.
I
mean
I,
remember
as
a
kid.
There
was
a
time
when
VDOT
when
they
actually
were
before
Mark
Warner,
took
dissected,
VDOT
or
or
dismantled
it.
Vdot
actually
had
staff
and
equipment
to
mow
the
road,
slides
and
I.
B
Remember
there
were
there
was
a
woman
in
our
neighborhood
who,
actually
you
know,
gleaned
picked
up
the
grass
after
it
was
mowed
and
used
it
to
feed
her
her
cows
and
and
now
they
don't
spray
it.
They
don't
mow
it
or
anything.
I
mean
it's
really
a
hazard,
because
you
have
to
drive
more
in
the
middle
of
the
road
to
to
miss
this
stuff,
and
it's
I
don't
understand
why?
Suddenly,
we
can't
afford
to
deal
with
problems
throughout
our
County
as
such,
as
this
does.
E
Just
two
quick
items
just
wanted
to
again
today:
reference
right
as
soon
as
the
meeting
started,
September
11th
be
remiss
to
recognize
our
First
Responders
across
the
community,
from
law
enforcement
and
Fire
and
Rescue
for
the
sacrifice
and
dedication.
They
make
also
want
to
commend
the
nursing
home
for
always
having
a
neat
Outreach
opportunity
today
they
with
their
kitchen
facilities
and
kitchen
staff
and
so
forth.
E
They
have
a
cookout
lunch
for
First
Responders
and
that's
a
good,
a
neat
partnership
that
the
nursing
home
with
a
kind
of
Outreach
opportunity
that
they
have
with
the
First
Responders.
That's
always
a
neat
thing
to
attend,
so
commend
both
again
fire
and
rescue
for
all
the
hard
work
and
and
public
safety
for
the
work
they
do,
but
also
nursing
home
for
doing
something
unusual
and
outside
their
normal
boundaries
in
order
to
Reach.
Out.
E
Second
thing
is
this:
you've
probably
seen
this,
maybe
in
some
social
media
posts
and
so
forth,
Just
notifying
the
public
about
the
paving
and
asphalt
work
that'll
be
occurring
at
the
elbows
parking
lot
behind
the
administration
building
so
kind
of
the
first
phase
over
next
couple
weeks.
There'll
just
be
some
spot
patching
and
surveying
and
that
type
of
work,
so
citizens
just
need
to
be
careful
about
what
parking
spaces
are
marked
off
while
people,
while
the
contractors
work
in
mid-october,
the
actual
Paving
and
asphalting
will
occur
in
restriping,
so
weather
permitting
the
dead.
C
B
F
B
A
F
G
E
That
I
just
said
well,
the
next
board
meeting
is
September
25th.
Well
the
work
session.
The
primary
topic
will
be
some
strategic
plan
updates
and
there
will
be
some
areas
of
that.
We'll
want
to
highlight
during
that
that
update
for
some
discussion
and
then
we'll
have
a
regular
meeting
at
seven,
and
there
will
be
several
public
hearings
that
evening
for
zoning
cases.
