From YouTube: Black Mountain Board of Aldermen Meeting - 2/10/2014
Description
The Black Mountain Board of Aldermen held their regular monthly meeting Monday, February 10, 2014.
A
The
pastor
jeff
doughty
from
the
first
baptist
church
just
want
to
know,
couldn't
make
it
tonight
he's
over
in
fairview,
which
is
a
little
colder
and
a
little
higher
than
we
are
so
he
could
not
make
it
out.
So
jamie
is
going
to
get
our
invitation.
C
Well,
that's
great
heavenly
father!
We
just
come
to
you
tonight
lord,
to
just
thank
you
for
our
blessings
and
thank
you
for
each
ploy.
Thank
you
for
our
aldermen
lord.
We
ask
that
every
decision
here
be
made
tonight.
Keep
you
keep
you
in
mind.
Every
item
talked
about
lord,
just
let
it
be
just
let
your
wisdom
come
across
them
lord,
to
make
them
let
them
make
the
right
decisions.
Employees
included
lord,
that
we
would
all
work
together
lord
and
work
safe
and
efficiently
as
possible.
C
A
D
Greetings
to
the
mayor
and
board
member
I'd
like
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
we've
got
three
new
members
on
the
msd
board:
we've
got
ellen
frost
and
joe
belcher
representing
buncombe
county
border
fed.
I
mean
the
bucking
county
board
and
matt
ashley
is
now
representing
the
town
of
montreal.
So
we've
got
three
new
members.
D
Yeah,
this
year's
budget
was
40
million,
eight
hundred
and
forty
seven
thousand
four
hundred
and
fifty
three
dollars
of
that
operation
was
fourteen
point.
Six
million
construction
was
sixteen
point.
Seven
million
capital
improvement
was
nine
hundred
thousand
and
bond
interest
was
eight
point:
five
million.
D
D
D
D
D
There
was
completion
of
507
emergency
scheduled
construction
project,
rehabilitation
of
thirteen
thousand
three
hundred
and
two
lineal
feet
with
house
crews.
So
msd
is
doing
more
and
more
in-house
utilize,
tr
trenchless
methods
for
4353
feet
in
some
cases
where
you've
got
expensive
landscaping,
paving
buildings
they're
using
pipe
bursting
or
relining
of
the
pipe.
D
D
That
was
years
ago,
average
daily
time
response
was
31
minutes
for
1373
calls,
average
f
off
duty
time.
Response
was
36
minutes
for
937
calls
and
all
the
response
times
were
less
than
an
hour,
so
they're
trying
to
work
on.
If
you
call
msd
that
you
will
get
somebody
there
in
less
than
an
hour
and
we'll
talk
about
calling
msd
more,
they
received
an
excellence
in
financial
reporting.
D
D
Since
that
time,
they
have
purchased
more
than
725
000
gallons
of
b20
biofuel,
replacing
more
than
145,
000
gallons
of
fossil
fuel.
With
soybean
and
other
things,
I
encourage
people
to
look
at
msdbc
website.
D
There's
a
tremendous
amount
of
information
on
there
to
include
a
treatment
plant
tour
that
shows
you
all
of
the
processes
that
our
sewer
goes
through
before
it's
finally
released
to
the
french
broad
river.
Two
of
the
first.
The
first
thing
we
have
to
get
out
is
all
the
things
that
don't
dissolve,
and
some
of
those
are
wipes
that
are
supposedly
biodegradable
and
are
not
all
this
stuff
collects
on
large
screens
raked
out
sent
to
the
landfill.
D
D
A
Bob
when
you
were
saying
that
you
rehabilitated
43
000
feet,
that's
what
about
approximately
one
percent
of
the
total?
What
do
we
got?
Five
million
feet?
That's
about
what
we
probably
got
somewhere
in
there
yeah
yeah.
D
A
And
so
that
also
too
would
spin
into
16
16
million
we're
looking
to
spend
we're
we're
shooting
to
spend
right
at
about
a
third
of
our
of
our
budget.
Continuing.
D
Used
to
used
to
be
in
the
hundreds,
even
with
all
the
rain
water
we
had
now.
Fortunately,
some
of
that
rain
water
will
split
into
two
two
fiscal
years,
but
they'll
be
in
that
low
range
and
a
lot
of
the
cip
is
based
on
lines
that
are
having
problems.
You
know,
if
we
repeatedly
have
problems
with
the
line,
then
it's
going
to
be
addressed
and
fixed.
You
know
one
of
the
other
things
is:
we
produce
probably
half
a
million
dollars
worth
of
power
this
year
because
of
the
high
flow
on
the
french
broad
river.
A
D
I
don't
know
if
we're
making
any
power
out
of
that
now,
but
I
know
that
the
you
know
they
did
replace
one
of
the
turbines
in
the
power
plant
for.
D
For
the
hydro,
but
even
with
it
out,
we
still
generated
a
half
million
dollars
worth
of
power
off
that.
So
any
other
questions.
A
Next,
mr
robert
woodard
kind
of
black
mountain
liverpool.
F
It's
good
to
be
here
on
behalf
of
the
whole
board.
I
think
most
of
you
know
a
lot
of
the
members,
including
ron
ron
snead.
The
library
has
had
somewhat
of
an
uneventful
year
and
that's
a
good
thing
in
that
in
previous
years.
You
know
we
did
a
lot
of
work
on
the
the
building
and
the
remodeling
and
so
forth,
so
now
we're
hopefully
settling
down
to
where
we're
just
maintaining
what
we
have.
But
most
of
you
know
that
the
the
library
system
is
now
under
a
different
name.
F
F
The
circulation
library
is
holding
steady
around
10
000
pieces
per
month
and
that's
that's
a
high
rate.
The
previous
summer
reading
programs
were
at
also
a
all-time
high
at
500
children
being
signed
up.
You
all
know
the
vitality
of
that
program.
If
you
go
by
throughout
the
the
week.
In
the
summer,
also,
the
education
room
or
the
multi-purpose
room,
which
was
remodeled
several
years
ago,
has
been
seen,
increasing
use,
of
course,
with
early
voting.
It's
not
taking
place
yet,
but
recently
for
tax
assistance
and
tax
preparation.
F
G
in
2013,
we
received
two
20
364
calls.
That
was
a
three
percent
reduction
from
2012,
so
call
volume
did
drop
by
about
three
percent.
Our
training
hours
was
2446
hours.
G
This
next
slide,
you'll
notice
you
have
blue,
is
2012.
The
red
is
2013.
for
2013.
We
had
270
criminal
incident
reports
taken
that's
down
from
340
344
yearbook.
Prior
citation
charges
were
down
slightly
to
901..
G
G
on
the
next
slide.
You'll
notice
that
we
broke
that
down
to
kind
of
give
you
a
snapshot
for
three
years,
the
when
we
when
we
looked
at
this,
we
noticed
that
the
incident
criminal
incidents
reported
has
steadily
dropped
if
you'll
notice,
the
citation
charges,
total
arrest
and
total
charges
are
fluctuating
pretty
equal
to
each
other
traffic
accidents
again
slightly
down
drug
violations
in
2011
were
at
87
and
they
jumped
to
133
for
the
next
two
years,
and
dwi
has
kind
of
fluctuated
a
little
bit.
G
G
We
performed
59
checkpoints
throughout
town,
various
different
locations,
some
of
the
main
locations,
some
of
the
secondary
roads.
Also,
we
also
attended
the
tree
of
life
ceremony,
that's
hosted
by
the
mothers
against
drunk
drivers
in
partnership
with
the
governor's
highway
safety
program.
It
was
a
candlelight
vigil
which
is
a
reminder
of
the
tragic
consequences
of
behaviors
like
drinking
and
driving,
failing
to
buckle
up
and
just
driving
distracted,
which
is
an
issue
that
we
have
now
with
folks
texting
and
using
different
devices
in
the
vehicle
we
also
the
next
slide
is
we.
G
We
continue
to
build
upon
youth
relations
in
our
schools.
Officers
walk
through
the
schools
on
a
daily
basis.
We
have
lunch
with
the
children
from
time
to
time,
and
we
also
provide
police
tours
and
interact
by
reading
to
the
primary
school
students.
It
seems,
like
the
students
always
enjoy
us
coming
and
especially
having
lunch
with
them,
and
I
think
this
also
builds
really
youth
relations
for
the
future.
G
The
next
we
actually
attended
a
safe
school
symposium
with
buncombe
county
schools
at
biltmore
baptist.
This
was
based
on
building
relationship
between
school
administrators
in
law
enforcement
and
communicating
in
a
crisis.
This
was
the
first
symposium
that
they
put
on
they're,
going
to
put
on
several
more.
It
was
a
we
broke
off
into
school
districts.
It
was
a
really
good
meeting.
I
think
that
we'll
take
advantage
of
that
in
the
future
and
that's
to
ensure
that
our
schools
stay
safe
and
we
also
have
a
plan
in
place
in
case
of
a
crisis.
G
Next,
we
want
to
remind
everybody
that
we
do
have
five
certified
officers
through
kids,
safe
usa
that
can
install
child
safety
seats.
I
know
that
I
we
we
actually
went
over
this
in
in
august,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
understands
this
is
something
that
we
do
provide
these.
These
certified
officers
are
certified
through
kids,
safe,
usa
and
parents
can
bring
their
vehicles
and
child
safety
seats
to
the
police
department
for
installation,
statistically,
more
than
90
percent
of
child
safety
seats
are
installed
improperly,
which
can
result
in
injury
or
death.
G
The
next
is
just
to
go
over
2013.
A
few
things
that
we've
encountered,
of
course,
is
the
the
blue.
Meth
is
something
that's
different.
That's
used
by
food
coloring
to
make
it
more
appealing,
and
we've
also
noticed
that
we've
had
several
situations
where
illegal
narcotics
was
put
into
soda
cans
with
false
bottoms,
different
types
of
sodas.
G
The
next
slide
you'll
see
that
we're
also
encountering
where
vehicles
have
been
altered
to
transport
illegal
drugs.
These
are
becoming
more
common.
If
you
look
at
the
slide
there
to
the
left,
that
is
the
air
conditioning
unit,
the
vent
system
in
the
middle
of
the
of
a
vehicle
that
vent
system
was
loose
and
the
canine
hit
on
that
area.
Those
pull
out
and
you'll
notice
to
the
right,
you'll
see
a
syringe
that
has
a
yellow
cap
on
it
and
beside.
G
That
is
a
black
case
that
had
illegal
drugs
in
that
so
we're
seeing
some
different
different
ways
of
trans
transportation
of
transportation.
When
we
go
to
with
these
illegal
drugs
the
next
we
we
also
attended
the
paws
for
kids,
walk,
that's
against
animal
and
child
abuse,
which
was
down
at
the
lake,
and
we
still
also
participate
with
operation
medicine
drop.
I
gives
a
way
for
folks
to
be
able
to
any
unused
or
expired
medication.
G
G
If
you
were
paying
an
officer
to
work
that
time
frame,
it's
a
it's
actually
a
cost
savings
to
the
town
of
thirty
three
thousand
four
hundred
and
forty
two
dollars
and
ninety
one
cents.
So
without
our
reserves
it
would
be
very
difficult
to
cover
a
lot
of
these
large
events,
especially
the
christmas
parade.
Fourth
of
july
holly
jolly.
There
are
several
other
events
that
we
cover
through
the
year
and
the
town
is
actually
the
events,
especially
5ks,
and
such
we
try
to
utilize
our
reserves
as
much
as
possible.
G
The
training
we
had
2446
hours
and
we
also
had
two
officers
that
finished
their
hazmat
instruction,
their
instructor
certified
by
the
state.
They
can
teach
hazmat
which
we
did
not
have
before.
So
that's
that's
going
to
provide
a
great
resource
for
us
in
the
future
and
on
the
next
slide,
you'll
see
that
we
just
want
to
remind
everyone.
We've
updated
our
website.
G
Some
of
those
things
you
can
reach
through
that
website
would
be
town
ordinances,
north
carolina,
general
statutes,
the
sex
register
offender.
You
can
also
reach
that.
So,
if
you
want
to
go
there,
there's
also
some
tips
on
crime
prevention.
I
know
that's
kind
of
small.
You
might
not
be
able
to
see
it,
but
if
you
go
to
the
site,
there's
some
really
good
information
on
there
there's
also
a
police
tip
line.
If
you
want
to
be
anonymous
and
give
any
type
of
tips,
you
can
click
on
that
and
it'll
send
it.
G
A
The
one
with
the
gray
side
is
that
it
looked
like
one
of
them
down
here.
Was
that
had
a
you
know,
instead
of
solid
black,
it
looked
like
there.
Maybe
it
was
just
the
lighting.
I
thought
it
had
a
gray
side.
G
Well,
you
know
over
the
we
did
put
two
new
chargers
on
from
this
this
budget
and
those
are
police.
You
know
as
far
as
decals
and
everything,
and
we
also
got
an
unmarked
gray,
car,
yes
and.
B
G
Got
that
through
drug
forfeiture
monies.
H
Steve
I
was
at
a
meeting
the
other
friday.
I
guess,
and
they
were
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
firing
range
and
that
sort
of
thing-
and
it
makes
me
curious
as
to
is
to
your
certification
requirements,
whatever
you
have
to
do
as
far
as
as
far
as
your
handguns
are
concerned
and
so
forth,
and
keeping
your
you
know,
whatever
certification
you
have
up
and
and
getting
to
a
firing
range
to
do,
that
is
that
a
problem
for
you
do
you
all
go
to
the
out
to
where
do
you
go
to
get
that
done
now.
G
We
actually
have
a
firing
range.
The
town
does
so
we're
very
fortunate
in
that.
H
Situation,
yes,.
G
No,
we've
worked
out
a
system
and
it
seems,
like
everybody
has
enjoyed
that
system.
We've
reduced
our
time
there
we
we're
not
shooting
on
weekends
and
and
we
follow
some
pretty
strict
guidelines,
and
I
believe
that
everybody
looks
okay.
Yes,
so
far,
so
good.
H
G
Do
think
that
in
the
future
they
were
talking
about
an
indoor
firing
range
at
the
new
facility
located
down
off
the
river,
and
I
think
that
that's
something
that
bunking
county
continues
to
currently
they're
using
the
range
in
madison,
county
and
you'd
have
to
all
those
officers
having
to
travel
to
madison.
It's
a
great
burden
upon
the
the
sheriff's
office,
and
if
we
were
having
to
utilize
that
it
would
be
a
huge
burden
on
us
to
drive
all
the
way
to
madison
county.
G
A
Thanks
you're
welcome
couple
things
when
you're
looking
at
on
these
on
these
reports.
What
kind
of
trips
do
we
have
to
then
transfers
to
asheville?
A
Is
that
do
you
have
a
week
I
mean
just
average
out
you
taking
taking.
You
know
prisoners
to
asheville
or
train
transporting.
G
A
G
A
G
We
worked
really
hard
on
that
and
having
the
children
see
us
in
a
different
light
building
that
partnership
with
these
kids.
You
know,
that's
our
future
and
you
know
a
lot
of
folks
use
scare
tactics
in
the
past
when
it
comes
to
police,
and
so
we
we've
tried.
Different
techniques
seems
to
work
really
well.
G
The
teachers
love
to
see
us
there,
the
kids
love
to
see
us
there,
and
we
continue
to
work
really
well
and
I'll
have
to
say
that
both
principals
are
are
extremely
grateful
that
we
we
do
take
an
interest
in
in
the
kids
and
they've
also
worked
very
well
with
us,
and
we
appreciate
that
too
they're.
A
I
Good
evening
the
fire
department
in
the
first
six
months
of
the
2013-2014
year,
we
ran
712,
calls
in
the
city
306
in
the
rural
district,
for
a
total
of
1018
calls,
which
bumped
us
up
a
little
bit
over
11
percent.
From
the
last
report,
we
averaged
40
times
a
month
where
we
had
more
than
one
call
at
a
time
and
that
number
jumped
from
the
last
time
I
was
up
here.
It
was
35
on
average.
Now
it's
40.
we're
getting
more
and
more
of
these
multiple
calls.
I
So
that
can
be
very
strapping
to
our
staff.
We
spent
a
total
of
23
114
hours
on
calls,
and
I
will
just
mention
one
call
that
we
went
on
during
the
last
big
snow
event.
We
had
we
had
to
go
to
laurel
ridge,
community
and
rescue
30
people
from
miami
florida.
G
I
Were
stuck
and
couldn't
get
to
their
house,
so
they
were
very
appreciative
of
that
and
it
was
a.
It
was
a
very
difficult
task
if
you've
never
been
in
law
ridge
when
the
snow's
deep
and
nice
thick
so,
but
we
got
them,
we
got
them
home
safely
and
everything
worked
out
good.
I
I
We
did
512
business
inspections
and
five
residential
inspections.
I'll
just
remind
you
that
our
residential
inspections
are
courtesy,
inspections
that
we
go
into
people's
houses
and
inspect
their
fireplaces
or
their
chimneys
and
stuff
when
they
call
and
request
us
and
everything
we
do.
There
is
just
a
recommendation
we
hold.
No,
we
can't
hold
them
to
any
standard
like
we
can
in
commercial
business,
but
we
do
do
do
the
customary
safety
inspections
as
well.
We
did
331
public
educations.
That's
includes
the
schools
tours
the
fire
station
just
anytime.
I
I
This
will
be
the
first
time
we've
got
to
use
the
new
facility
and
part
of
the
reason
we're
able
to
do.
This
is
chief
burnett
with
the
city
of
asheville,
has
graciously
volunteered
to
send
the
engine
company
to
black
mountain
and
cover
our
district,
while
our
firemen
go
and
train,
if
it
weren't,
for
that,
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
take
everybody
at
one
time
out
there
and
use
that
facility,
so
we're
gonna
use
it
for
two
days
this
month.
I
So
if
you
see
a
asheville
city
fire
truck
sitting
at
black
mountain,
that's
they're,
standing
by
while
your
firemen
are
going
out
there
and
getting
some
quality
training
in
a
new
facility.
I
And
then
we
had
197
hours
spent
on
volunteers
coming
by
the
station.
They
just
helped.
Like
I
say
every
time
we
just
helped
around
the
station
this
year,
they've
got
to
help
chain
fire
trucks,
which
has
not
been
something
they're
accustomed
to
with
the
weather.
So,
but
we
couldn't
do
it
without
our
volunteers
and
we're
continually
growing
our
volunteer
company
we've
put
on
in
the
last
two
months.
I
think
we're
up
to
six
new
volunteers
and
we're
excited
to
get
them
on
board
and
get
them
trained
to
do
something.
H
I
I
I
I
A
In
the
slide
there,
where
you
have
training,
if
you
can
go
back
to
that
slide
or
the
train,
I'm
seeing
that
that
forward,
wheeler
and
then
I'm
seeing
a
unit
behind
it,
is
that
the
unit
is
that
the
piece
of
equipment
that
was
used
that
was
purchased
through
some
of
the
money
that
we
got
from
mon
treat
to
aid
and
rescue.
No
okay,.
J
That's
right:
they
added
they
had
a
fee,
a
rental,
a
fee
for
for
the
use
of
their
facilities
per
room
and,
however
they
you
know
how
they
add
that
on
and
then
as
they
as
that
money
is
generated.
They
then
make
a
contribution
back
to
the
fire
department
for
for
those
services.
So
and
then,
of
course,
you
know,
we
obviously
they're
in
our
fire
district,
so
they're
served
by
us.
J
J
I
think
the
other
conference
centers
have
had
made
contributions
as
they
as
they
could
and
have
not
used
us
the
systematic
way
that
the
montreat
conference
center
has
done,
which
we
we've
encouraged
them
to
do,
but
they,
but
all
all
of
them
in
our
in
the
town
and
also
in
the
in
the
fire
district,
have
have
made
an
effort,
as
as
they
could
to
well.
A
I
hope
that
you'll
bring
that
up
to
the
board
to
discuss
during
budget
time
so
that
it's
a
as
a
source
of
revenue,
because
I
mean
I
don't
think
that
the
public
really
realizes
how
much
that
we
have
to
spend
our
tax
dollars
on
non-profit
organizations,
and
so
all
we're
asking
for
is
for
them
to
help
back
with
just
a
little
contribution
from
each
guest
that
you
know
that
comes
there.
Yes,
sir,
anyway,
that's
very
good!
Thank
you
very
much,
steve.
J
You've
got
adoption
of
minutes
from
your
agenda
workshop,
your
regular
session
and
your
closed
session
from
january.
We
have
a
couple
of
statements
of
consistency.
You
know
at
last
month's
meeting
you've
approved
some
text,
amendments
for
breweries
distilleries
and
wineries,
and
a
rezoning
on
old
lakey
gap
and-
and
we've
generally
always
done
a
statement
of
consistency
to
to
to
confirm
that
is
consistent
with
our
comprehensive
plan.
J
We
didn't
we.
We
admitted
that
last
time,
so
you
have
that
on
your
consent
agenda
and
you
have
a
to
call
for
a
public
hearing
for
some
text,
amendments
to
the
land
use
code
and
to
and
to
call
for
a
call
for
two
public
hearings
and
another
public
hearing
to
amend,
to
amend
the
land
use
code.
Both
are
basically
to
to
to
correct
some
inconsistencies
and
to
add
some
tables
and
some
information
that
we
think
makes
the
land
just
go.
A
little
more
usable
and
a
little
more
functional.
A
K
K
There's
a
part
two
to
bob's
comment
of:
can
the
green
can
the
grease
and
that's
where
to
take
the
grease
at
the
beside
the
black
mountain
natural
foods
on
the
one
parking
lot,
they
have
a
brown
metal
bin
that
is
for
used
cooking
grease.
You
lift
up
the
top
there's
your
screen
area.
You
just
pour
in
your
cooking,
grease
your
bacon,
fat
whatever
and
then
be
on
your
way.
So
please
can
the
grease,
but
then
take
it
there
and
drop
it
off.
Thank.
A
You
very
good
thanks
for
minding
this
event,
all
right
new
business
on
the
greenway
commissions.
Here,
what
do
we
have
darling?
You
said
that
we
had
one
term
we'd,
never
filled
then
correct,
correct
and
then
we
have
and
then
don
wilson
was
the
one
that
resigned,
so
we
need
to
so.
We
need
to
fill
and
we
have
two
applicants
for
two
two
vacancies.
A
A
Okay,
any
comments,
if
not
all
in
favors,
proposed
okay
great
on
any
unfinished
business.
Well,
we
were
talking
about
some
grants,
but
you'll
think
you're
gonna
do
that.
So
if
you
don't
have
any
unfinished
business
sneed,
you
got
anything
okay
and
then
matt.
J
Two
two
items
for
you
just
an
update,
I
believe
maybe
you've
been
asked
last
week
about
the
baker
engineering
in
our
hydraulic
study
for
the
for
the
greenway.
They
they
are
collecting
data.
Now
it's
not
right,
they're
doing
a
in
case.
You
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
depending
on
the
weather,
I
guess
now,
but
on
thursday
they
will
do
a
walk
through
with
casey
and
jill
the
recreation
department
to
of
the
of
the
area.
They're
collecting
data
now
and
they've,
gotten
all
the
information
from
the
town
that
they
need
so
I'll
I'll.
J
Just
continually
report
back
to
you,
as
as
we
get
more
information
from
them
and
finalize
that
hydraulic
study,
debbie,
kate,
dixon,
that's
helping
us
with
the
efforts
at
the
lake
tomahawk
dam
has
applied
for
a
permit
with
with
dinner,
to
do
some
maintenance
on
the
dam
that
we
talked
about
when
we
have
that
permit
at
hand,
we'll
probably
do
a
press
release
and
we'll
we'll
do
some
more
publicity
regarding
because,
as
you
know,
we'll
most
of
the
damn
maintenance
results
in
taking
the
trees
down
off
the
dam
at
lake
tomahawk.
J
So
so,
once
we
have
a
permit
and
once
we
have
a
plan
in
place,
then
we'll
do
do
a
press
release
and
and
get
some
make
sure
the
public
is
aware
of
what
we're
going
to
need
to
do
on
that
day
to
get
it
into
compliance,
and
I
believe
that's
all
that
I
have.
A
Okay,
we
have
any
communication
from
any
of
the
board
members.
Would
they
like
to
say
something.
H
Mr
mayor,
I
would
like
to
follow
up
on
an
item
that
matt
and
dean,
and
I
have
been
working
on
since
the
last
board
meeting.
You
may
recall
that
when
john
dewitt
gave
the
update
or
the
annual
report
for
parks
and
rec
that
he
made
comment
that
the
town
square
committee
would
be
finishing
up
their
projects
that
they
have
on
their
drawing
board
this
spring,
and
so
in
conjunction
with
that,
matt
and
dean
have
been
working
with
john
and
and
having
discussions
about
a
transition.
H
The
town
square
property
would
come
under
public
works
and
we
need
a
definitive
date
on
that.
Just
so,
for
practical
terms,
things
can
take
place
like
budgeting
and
getting
things
in
order,
and
so
I
think
I
would
like
to.
H
I
think
we
can
accomplish
that
by
getting
something
in
the
minutes,
and
I
think
the
easiest
way
to
do
that
is
to
simply
and
I'll
be
happy
to
make
this
motion
that
the
oversight
of
the
town
square
property
come
directly
under
the
town
administration,
and
particularly
public
works
as
of
july
1,
2014,
and
then
with
that
in
place.
And
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
have
that
in
in
our
in
our
board.
Minutes
with
that
in
place.
H
H
A
big
part
of
that
process
is
to
is,
for
dean
in
particular
to
have
a
good
record
of
disbursements
and
and
contracts
and
all
those
sorts
of
things,
because
it
could
be
two
or
three
or
four
years
from
now
and
and
dean
and
matt
might
want
to
communicate
with
with
some
of
the
folks
that
who
have
done
work
on
the
property
and
that
sort
of
thing.
H
I
would
also
make
this
comment
for
the
public
that,
if
anyone
wants
to
continue,
has
in
mind
making
contributions
for
you
know
toward
the
toward
the
the
any
projects
on
the
property
that
that
can
still
continue
to
be
done.
H
The
town
can
accept
a
charitable
contribution
and
dean
can
segregate
those
any
funds
received
in
his
records
and
and
and
actually
he's
discussing
that
with
john
at
this
moment
or
during
these
past
few
weeks.
The
fact
that
the
any
funds
remaining
currently
those
funds
are
under
the
greenway
foundation,
but
the
the
town
square
committee
might
want
to
move
those
over
to
dean.
He
can
segregate
those
on
the
town
records
and
then
dean
as
a
town,
finance
officer,
can
have
oversight
over
those
funds
still
continue
to
be
used
for
their
intended
purpose.
H
But
I
think
we
have
a
little
cleaner
administration
and
transition
if
we
do
that.
So
my
motion
is
very
simple.
Just
that,
as
of
july
1
2014
that
town
square
property
come
under
the
direct
supervision
and
of
town
administration.
J
This
briefly
now,
like
I
said
like
or
like
larry
said,
we
have
a
meeting
with
john
dewitt
on
thursday
and
we'll
we
can
kind
of
work,
work
out
the
details
of
that
transition,
but
but
we're
comfortable
yeah.
H
But
our
meeting
is
is
really
the
transition.
It's
not
whether
we
want
to
do
this
or
not.
J
A
E
The
only
comment
I'd
like
to
make
mayor
is
is
that
this
is.
I
think
this
is
coming
to
a
head.
As
far
as
what
the
town
square
steering
committee
was
commissioned
by
the
board.
To
do,
we
can
see
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel,
and
I
think
their
feeling
and-
and
the
board's
feeling
is
is,
is
that
come
the
the
end
of
june?
E
E
We
will
need
to
have
like
an
advisory
board
of
two
to
three
people
and
two
of
the
names
that
I'm
thinking
of
is
john
dewitt
and
bob
headley
to
still
be
advising
the
folks
on
the
town
square,
who
are
and
advising
the
board
as
to
the
some
possibilities,
and
and
just
just
to
keep
your
fingers
on
the
fault
so
respectfully.
H
Right
right
right,
because
that's
what
makes
it
that
I
think
is
the
important
part
of
the
transition
that
we
go.
We
get
it
underneath
town
administration,
and
then
you
know,
of
course,
and
and
that
is
important,
because
you
know
all
these
folks
have
worked
very
hard
and
we're
not
trying
to
discourage
them
from
their
volunteer
work
and
and
all
the
effort
that
they
put
into
the
project.
We
simply
want
to
sort
of
clean
up
administration
and
and
clear
those
lines
of
communication
and
responsibility
up.
H
A
E
A
B
A
Already
passed
unanimously,
I've.
J
C
Just
a
brief
update
on
on
how
our
snow
removal
process
works,
the
town
is
split
up
into.
C
C
C
So
by
putting
that
map
in
the
truck
and
splitting
it
into
six
zones,
that
means
every
road
gets
pushed
within
a
shift
which
is
a
12-hour
shift.
So
that
being
said,
after
watching
the
weather
today,
the
storm
coming
in
tomorrow
night
through
thursday,
our
nighttime
shift
will
actually
not
work
tomorrow.
They
will
come
in
tomorrow,
night
and
work
all
night
and
work
12-hour
shifts,
7-7
and
the
snow
will
be
pushed
around
the
clock
until
it
is
cleared.
But
I
also
want
to
because
I
get
calls
from
citizens
and
stuff.
C
I
just
want
to
there's
a
misperception
of
of
how
snow
operates.
In
other
words,
if
you
don't
see
a
salt
and
sand
truck
out,
sanding,
there's
a
good
reason
for
that,
because
when
you
got
a
snow
of
this
size
coming
in,
you
can
pre-treat
high
country
and
it'll
work
a
little
bit.
But
as
the
snow
comes
down,
it
just
covers
it
up
and
you
end
up
pushing
it
away
anyway,
and
it's
inefficient,
it's
a
loss
of
money.
C
So
the
way
we're
set
up.
We
push
snow
and
significant
snow
like
what
they're
expecting
when
the
snow
event
ends.
That's
when
we
do
the
cleanup
and
put
out
the
salt
and
sand,
and
then
it
loosens
up,
what's
froze
and
also
another
misconception
is,
is
when
you
look
out
your
window
and
you
see,
there's
still
the
road
still
white
a
lot
of
times.
I
get
calls
from
citizens.
C
Thinking
we've
been
there
when
we've
been
there
all
night
and
what
happens
is
as
the
temperatures
drop
and
that
freezes
that
blade
is
just
basically
riding
over
the
ice.
It's
not
actually
touching
asphalt.
You
can
only
take
it
so
low,
that's
where
the
salt
and
sand
the
magnesium
chloride
comes
in,
because
then
it
loosens
that
up
and
then
we
can
come
back
and
actually
clear
the
road.
C
So
when
the
snow
comes
in,
you'll
see
us
out
in
full
force
pushing
you
probably
won't
see
a
lot
of
salt
and
sand,
but
I
also
want
to
back
up
and
say
that,
because
we
don't
have
primary
roads,
we
do
got
high
country.
That
being
said,
that
is
our
primary
roads.
We
focus
on
black
mountain
states,
timber
park,
hunting
lodge
places
of
that
nature,
where
we
do
do
a
little
pre-treating,
just
because
it's
safer
to
do
that
and
hope
for
the
best
and
no
more
roads
than
it
is
we're.
C
Not
it's
it's
better
to
do
it
than
not.
So
I
just
want
to
just
give
a
brief
update
and-
and
let
you
guys
know
that
we've
already
restocked
40
some
tons
of
salt
and
sand
we've
got
our
magnesium
chloride.
Sprayer
set
up,
we
got
it
finished
today,
so
we're
anxious
to
see
how
that
works.
So
if
it
comes
we're
ready,
so
we
just
hope
for
the
best.
B
A
Three
things
number
one
as
to
the
incredible
work
y'all
did
in
the
in
the
pre-treatment
of
this
of
these
past
storms
that
we
that
we've
had
and
getting
that
snow
getting
that
ice
and
the
sand
down
there
I
mean,
as
most
people
know,
having
lived
in
the
mountains.
If
we
got
snow
we
can
get
around.
A
Do
you
have
ice
on
the
roads?
You're
taking
your
own
life
in
your
hands?
It
is
just
very,
very
dangerous,
and
yet
you
guys
are
out
there.
My
sister
called
me
one
o'clock
in
the
morning.
She
said
they
just
woke
me
up.
She
says,
but
I
was
tickled
pink
that
they
woke
me
up
with
their
trucks
outside
going
up
down
spring
hill.
A
A
I
also
want
to
mention
that
over
at
llama
vista
there
was
a
break
in
a
water
meter
and
was
leaking,
and
so
this
gentleman
went
ahead
and
called
the
water
at
the
water
department.
They
they
came
out
and
as
it
turns
out,
they
couldn't
go
ahead
and
fix
it
right
there
they
had
to
go
back
to
a
previous
to
another
valve,
and
then
they
had
to
go
to
a
second
valve,
as
it
turns
out.
That
valve
had
been
to
such
a
long
time
and
it
was
leaking
too.
A
The
hole
was
filled
full
of
water.
These
gentlemen,
literally
had
to
strip
down
to
their
waist
lean
on
the
edge
down
into
this
hole,
and
they
took
turns
going
down
in
there
because
there
was
water
in
there
trying
to
turn
this
valve
and
then
replace
this
valve.
That
was
chris
sloane
and
doug
allen
and
jared
mcintosh.
A
A
C
A
You
appreciate
it.
I
went
to
a
little
conference
on
friday.
It
was
down
in
salisbury
at
catawba
college
got
it
left
earlier
that
that
morning,
what
it
is,
was
the
waste
reduction
partners
from
raleigh
durham
were
there,
and
also
duke
energy,
and
also
a
company
called
schneider.
A
F
A
Is
is
in
assessment
of
energy
and
they
will
come
into
a
business
as
well
as
to
a
home,
but
most
of
theirs
is
just
businesses.
A
Do
the
performance
evaluation
and
tell
the
folks
what
they
what
they
need
to
do,
and
they
will
literally
give
a
contract
on
what
the
savings
and
that,
if
that
is
not
achieved,
assuming
that
the
business
has
gone
ahead
and
performed
and
fulfilled
their
their
part
of
the
obligation,
then
then
it's
a
regular
contract.
They
will
literally
pay
the
difference
if
there's,
if
there
is
some
extra
money
that
has
not
been
covered
by
these
lovely
savings.
A
A
She
was
speaking
about
how
many
cases
there
was
that
there
was
actual
checks
written
to
these
businesses.
We're
not
talking
small
checks,
big
checks,
so
this
is
something
that
you're
going
to
hear
more
and
more
about.
This
is
something
that
I
hope
that
when
we
start
our
budgeting,
that
our
board
will
talk
about
this
and
see
the
benefits.
A
That's
all
I've
got.
We've
got
what
executive
session
to
go
into
see.
If
I
can
hear
a
motion,
please
tell
me
executive
session
any
discussion
all
in
favor
say
all
right.
