From YouTube: Black Mountain Board of Alderman Meeting (Dec. 14, 2020)
Description
Regular Meeting of the Black Mountain Board of Alderman for Dec. 14, 2020
A
B
A
B
We
write
out
these
prayers
when
we
think
about
you
all,
because
we
want
to
say
something:
that's
relevant.
We
don't
want
to
just
be
hot
dog,
but
we
want
to
say
something
to
traveling
and
I
had
write
it
by
my
wife
and
she
said
no,
not
this
one
and
no
not
this
one,
and
you
know
you
know
so,
but
I
yeah,
I
thought
about
praying
for
all
the
community.
C
B
All
the
people
that
you
all
whose
responsibilities
you
bear
and
I
spend
the
day
at
swan
about
a
christian
ministry
and
if
you
could
see
the
folks
that
come
in
there
and
maybe
maybe
one
out
of
ten,
might
be
a
user
of
the
system
or
that
for
the
most
part
you're
looking
at
folks
who
have
lost
their
jobs
who,
by
just
a
you
know
a
little
twist
of
faith.
They
you
know
their
illnesses
and
their
job
loss
and
their
difficulties
and
relationships.
You
know
they've
come
here
and
they
just
fall
through
the
cracks.
B
B
And
the
power
to
make
real
choices
all
of
it
so
that
we
might
do
some
extraordinary
things.
So
we
feel
the
weight
of
this
responsibility.
Some
exciting
some
burdensome,
but
all
of
it
benefiting
us
for
the
opportunities
that
we've
been
given
to
shape
the
life
of
this
community
for
her
families
and
even
for
our
own
family.
B
So
tonight
we
need
your
help.
Lord
help
to
be
wise
in
our
dealings,
conscious
of
the
wonder
of
folks,
like
us,
ordinary
folks
who
bear
this
burden
of
decision-making,
but
a
great
privilege
given
by
our
neighbors
and
our
fellows,
help
us
tonight
lord
to
be
worthy
of
their
trust
and
worthy
of
the
responsibilities
that
we
hold
and
worthy
of
your
blessings.
B
E
A
I
have
a
couple
of:
I
don't
have
any
announcements
at
this
time.
Josh
do
you
have
any
announcements
that
are
maybe
good
for
the
public
that
you'd
rather
do
now
than
later?
Okay,
very
good.
I
have
my
pleasure
to
offer
to
proclamations
and
the
first
one
goes
to
vice
mayor
maggie
toe
now
number
one.
I
need
to
get
this
close
to
my
face
and
then
I
need
to
get
my
glasses
down,
so
I
can
see
a
little
bit
better
without
being
fogged
up
but
maggie.
A
We
appreciate
you
very
much
and
all
that
you've
done
your
service
to
the
town,

don't
actually
do.

I
would
like
to
thank
the
fellow

your

to
this
town,
especially
maggie
tuttle,
whose
strong
leadership
has
turned
this
town
about-face
from
bickering
and
embarrassing
board
meetings
to
one
of
mutual
respect
and
something
this
town
can
be
proud
of
to
the
new
board.
Congratulations.

town

by
josh
harold.

about
black
mountain,
keep
your
tax
rates
low,
spend
wisely
and
make
your
decisions
for
the
group
of
the
whole
town,
not
the
squeaky
wheels.
I
wish
you
all
the
best.
Thank

We
count
on
you.

the

Thank

those
of
us
who

being
sworn
in
if
you
can
allow
for
some
reason
for
those
who
are
and
let's
see
if
we
we
need
to
do.
A
C
A
A
D
L
D
N
B
D
D
For
the
government
that
I
will
endeavor
to
support,
maintain
and
defend
and
direct
the
support
and
maintain
the
defense,
the
constitution
and
laws
of
said
state.
The
constitutional
laws
of
that
state
not
inconsistent,
not
inconsistent
with
the
constitution
of
the
united
states,
the
constitution
of
the
united
states,
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge
and
ability
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
and
that
I
will
faithfully
discharge
the
duties
of
my
office.
And
I
will,
thankfully,
just
towards
the
duties
of
my
office
as
alderman
of
the
town
of
black
mountains.
A
Okay,
so
we
are,
we
are,
are
still
in
our
organizational
meetings
and
we
are
at
the
appointment
of
the
vice
mayor
and
it
has
been
the
tradition
which
this
this
is
absolutely
at.
The
board's
discretion
that
the
high
vote
getter
in
the
previous
election
is
nominated
and
for
vice
mayor,
and
that
would
be
alderman
stone
and
so
I'll
leave
that
to
the
board.
But
it
is
up
to
the
board,
and
so
I
would
entertain
motions
for
vice
mayor.
A
Good
got
to
knock,
though,
with
motions
made:
is
there
any
motions
made
and
and
by
the
way
and
I'll
mention
this?
Aren't
you
because
just
to
make
sure
ultimate
patellar
just
to
make
sure
that
everyone
understands
and
the
board
can
change
this
at
any
time
too.
But
it
is
our
practice
under
our
rules
of
order
which
any
board
can
change
if
you
want
to,
but
we
do
not
second
motions.
If
the
motion
is
made,
the
board
takes
it
up
and
that's
been
the
practice.
E
That,
yes,
that's
been,
that
was
a
recommendation
by
flaming
bell
30
years
ago,
captain
school
of
government
that
for
small
boards
you
don't
call
for
seconds
and
this
board
is
bald.
The
obvious
reason
I
sit
on
other
boards
to
have
seconds
and
people
will
second
emotion,
they're
going
to
vote
against
just
so
it
can
get
voted
on
right
right,
right,
we've.
A
O
A
A
A
Currently
that
member
is
our
town
manager,
josh,
harold
and
the
alternate
was
alderwoman
maggie
tuttle
and
the
second
is
our
appointee
to
the
black
mountain
swannanoa
chamber
of
commerce
executive
board,
and
that
is
the
member
is
town
manager,
josh,
harold
and
the
alternate
is
alderman.
Tim
reigns,
land
to
sky
regional
council
board
of
directors.
The
member
is
as
as
me
larry,
b
harris
and
the
alternate
was
alderwoman
maggie
tuttle.
A
A
A
This
is
a
function
this
committee
helps
make
makes
and
gives
direction
as
far
as
planning
and
all
the
myriad
technical
issues,
transportation,
issues
that
flow
through
the
mpo
and
it's
very
much
a
staff
level
and
populated
group.
Each
municipality
in
our
region
appoints
a
board
a
member
to
the
tcc,
as
they
do
to
the
french
broad
river
mpo.
A
Currently,
that's
jessica,
trotman,
our
director
of
planning
and
the
alternate
is
josh
harold,
our
town
manager,
the
metropolitan
sewer
district
is,
is
the
appointment
has
been
held
by
bob
watts
for
the
since
2018,
and
we
can
reappoint
we
would
reappoint
a
new
member
tonight.
I
believe
you
have
to
correct
me
on
this.
A
But
it's
not
set
in
stone.
This
board
can
do
it,
but
I
think
that's
a
cycle
that
we've
been
following,
but
it's
not
set
in
stone,
but
that
can
that
can
be
done
and
and
so
then
you
have
the
asheville
regional
housing
consortium
and
jessica
trotman
at
the
at
our
staff
level
is
the
member,
and
the
alternate
is
vice
mayor,
stone
and
the
friends
of
the
flora
font
of
flora
state
trail
inc.
A
A
And-
and
I
I
would
even
though
it's
at
the
board's
pleasure
like
to
con,
would
be
my
preference
and
and
my
request
to
continue
service
at
the
mpo
and
atlanta
sky,
while
I'm
still
executive
committee
and
of
course,
the
chair,
the
chair,
elect
at
the
mpo.
But
this
is
a.
This
is
a
good
active
board,
an
important
work
and
a
good
place
to
to
plug
in.
A
A
So
that's
what
we
have
before
us,
and
so
the
first
that
we'll
pick
up
would
be
the
black
mountain
center
for
the
arts.
And
so
I
entertain
the
nomination
for
the
member
to
the
black
mountain
center
of
the
arts,
and
I
would
like
to
offer
that
alderman
patilla
was
interested
in
that
service
and
would
just
offer
that
to
the
board
for
your
consideration.
L
A
H
L
A
Sure-
and
some
of
these
some
of
these
boards
are
a
little
easier
to
pick
up
on
some.
It's
helpful
to
have
served
a
couple
of
years
and
you
kind
of
get
into
the
groove
because
of
just
you
know,
just
because
of
the
number
of
people
involved
and
and
and
what
what
they
do.
Frankly,
but
that's
again,
that's
all
at
the
board's
discretion,
so
black
mountain
center
for
the
arts
I'd
entertain
the
nomination
for
the
member.
P
A
A
A
A
O
A
A
I
A
A
O
A
A
N
N
A
A
A
I
don't
know
if
that's
for
sure,
but
anyway
it
is
one
that
that
a
staff
member
I
mean
a
board
member
or
elected
official-
can
certainly
take
on
if
you,
if
you
wish
and
and
by
the
way
anybody
these
are
public
meetings,
so
any
anybody
can
attend
all
of
them.
You
know
it's
good,
but
currently
it
is
our
planning
director,
primary
and
and
town
managers
alternate
and
they
attend.
You
know
they
they're
they're
present,
so
I'll
leave
it
to
you.
J
O
A
A
A
E
A
A
And
so
nothing's
going
to
happen
if
you
want
to
take
this
up
and
check
in
our
january
meeting
and
think
it
through,
and
you
can
stay
in
touch
with
the
town
manager
about
it
and
also
circulate
around.
If
there's
this
is
a
pretty
responsible
spot
and
and
bob
watts
does
have
a
lot
of
experience,
he
served
he's
he's
served
more.
He
served
three
terms,
maybe
I
think
so.
I
think
so
and
so
he's
certain.
A
He
has
a
lot
of
experience
there,
but
he
also
has
a
lot
of
expertise
on
top
top
of
the
experience
at
msd,
so
he
represents
the
town
well
at
msd.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
the
the
board
chair
mayor
vihan
at
woodfin,
told
me
recently
just
how
much
he
appreciated
bob's
expertise
and
his
service
on
the
board,
and
so
why
don't?
We
just
make
sure
that
we
have
our
ducks
in
a
row
on
that
the
board
can
think
about
it,
we'll
take
it
up
in
january.
A
A
J
I
M
A
Very
good,
and
also,
I
might
add,
alderman
patilla-
that
if
you
are
interested
in
being
the
primary
on
that
that
at
our
january
meeting
we
can
you
know
we
can,
because
I'm
sure
that
jessica
would
be.
That
would
just
be
fine
with
her
okay.
You
know,
I
think
that
would
be
fine.
She
has,
you
know
plenty
on
her
plate,
doing
the
tcc
work
and
so
forth,
and
so
we
can,
if
we
would
josh
and
savannah.
A
A
A
Oh
great,
wonderful,
that's
great!
It's
a
good!
It's
a
good
group,
very
active
bob
hunter
former
state
senator
and
former
appellate
court
judge
is,
has
taken
this
on.
He
lives
down
at
lake
james
and
has
taken
it
on
and
really
working
hard
at
it.
And
it's
it's
an
you
know.
It's
really.
It's
important
for
us
it'll
be
a
great
link,
it's
important
for
a
lot
of
the
other
towns
too,
in
between
old,
fort
marion
and
so
forth.
So
it's
great
thank
you
both
for
being
willing
to
do
that.
A
P
A
Very
good,
thank
you.
I
think
we're
done
and
we'll
pick
those
other
two
issues
back
up
in
january
and
we
have
in
front
of
us
we've
already
taken
our
recess,
so
we
have
in
front
of
us
the
adoption
of
the
schedule
for
the
board
of
aldermen
agendas,
alderman
agenda
workshop
and
the
regular
session
meetings
for
20
21,
and
we
post
these
that
way.
It
takes
care
of
the
of
the
public
posting
for
our
meetings
for
the
entire
year.
A
A
H
A
M
A
Thank
you
very
much.
We
have
item
g.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
fill
vacancies
on
the
historic
preservation
commission
and
also
on
the
planning
board,
and
we
on
the
historic
preservation,
which
is
our
first
first
item
of
business.
We'll
pick
up
there.
We
have
one
vacancy
to
fill
the
unexpired
term
ending
june
30th
2023.
L
A
N
And
I
also
just
wanted
to
ask
a
question
about
process.
I
know
there's
two
approved
processes
for
filling
these
kind
of
appointments
that
the
north
carolina
school
of
government-
and
I
just
wondered
if
at
some
point
in
the
future
at
another
board
meeting,
if
we
could
consider
both
of
those
processes
to
make
sure
that
we're
using
the
best
one
for
black
mountain.
A
Sure
sure
it
could
well
be.
You
know
that
to
me
that
might
be
a
great
topic
and
we
might
have
have
some
other
things
to
add
to
it,
because
I
think
the
board,
some
new
members
of
our
board,
express
and
and
current
members
expressed
some
thought
of
change
of
of
changing
the
manner
in
which
we
are
of
our
town
charter,
or
at
least
considering
that,
and
I
would
think
that
that
might
be
very
appropriate
for
a
workshop.
A
Just
a
special
call
meeting
to
address
those
this
this.
This
topic
and
also
the
topic
of
the
town
charter,
seems
to
me.
That
would
be
good.
Of
course,
that's
up
to
the
board.
But
what
I
would
suggest
is
you
know
that
at
our
january
meeting
to
for
the
board
to
have
in
mind
what
works
best
for
everyone,
for
you
know
for
a
workshop.
A
If
it's
first
thing
in
the
morning,
if
it's
at
five
o'clock,
just
what
works
for
everyone's
schedule
so
that
it's
convenient
and
I
think
since
we're
meeting
virtually
as
far
as
the
you
know,
the
public
attending
it's
probably
six
one
half
dozen
the
other,
but
just
keep
that
in
mind
and
we'll
we
can.
We
can
discuss
it
in
january.
If
that's
the
board's
pleasure.
Thank.
N
A
H
H
The
reasons
for
that
are,
you
know,
came
down
from
the
state
that
we
needed
to
do
something
different
on
how
we
charged
fees.
So
it's
a
very
scientific
analysis
now
on
how
we
charge
those
system,
development
fees,
impact
fees
are
no
longer
something
that
is
allowed
to
be
charged,
and
this
is
simply
removing
that
language
from
our
code
of
ordinances
in
chapter
48.,.
A
A
M
H
So
item
8b
is
your
tuition
reimbursement
policy.
I
think
the
the
cover
sheet
calls
it
tuition
assistance
program
policy,
pretty
much
the
same
thing.
Currently.
What
we
have
in
place
is
really
just
a
one-page
worksheet
that
you
fill
out.
There's
really
not
a
lot
of
criteria
at
all
that
is
associated
with
it.
What
we
wanted
to
do
was
put
together
a
very
small
policy.
I
think
it's
about
three
pages,
it
just
kind
of
goes
down,
and
you
know
states
well.
You've
got
to
receive
a
grade
of
b
or
higher
to
get
reimbursed.
H
You've
got
to
put
in
your
requests
that
x
amount
of
time,
and,
of
course,
this
is
all
subject
to
alderman
approval.
As
far
as
the
line
item
and
the
budget
on
how
much
we
put
in
that
every
year
this
year
we
had
five
thousand
dollars
in
that
line.
Item
and
folks
are
starting
to
take
advantage
of
that
a
little
more
than
they
have
in
the
past.
H
So
I
think
it's
something
good
that
we
can
provide
for
our
employees
if
they're
going
to
better
themselves
and
and
as
I
mentioned
in
the
excuse
me
in
the
agenda
meeting-
there
is
some
language
in
here
that
talks
about
salary
adjustments.
Any
salary
adjustments
do
come
before
this
board
for
approval.
So
it's
not
something
that
is
going
to
be
happening
outside
of
of
your
knowledge,
but
just
wanted
to
point
that
point
that
out
to
you,
so
you
would
be
aware
of
that.
H
A
E
On
me,
mr
mayor,
this
is
a
little
cleanup
at
the
end
of
the
construction
infrastructure
that
was
started
to
serve
the
bottom
plant
that
we
may
or
may
not
see
in
the
future.
But
those
sewer
lines
and
and
water
lines
went
in
under
the
town's
name.
That's
just
the
way
the
grant
was
structured
and
so
sewer
lines.
E
And,
although
I
don't
think,
they're
really
conveying
anything,
because
if
I
remember
correctly
just
about
all
the
water
lines
went
within
streets
where
we
could,
we
could
create
encroachment
permits
for
that.
But
nonetheless,
the
the
county
has
executed
a
conveyance
to
us
of
any
interest
they
have
in
the
easements,
where
the
water
lines
are
great.
A
Thank
you
and
I'd
remind
the
public
that
this
is
part
of
the
economic
development
process
in
north
carolina.
Our
county
commissioners
joined
in
in
in
on
the
same
process
and
the
town
of
black
mountain
received
a
grant
of
in
the
neighborhood
of
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
golden
leap
foundation
and
another
approximately
eight
or
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
It's
a
one
point.
H
A
Six
million
dollar
project,
half
of
the
funds
from
economic
development
and
federal
dollars,
and
the
other,
apart
from
economic
development
in
north
carolina,
which
is
funded
by
the
golden
leaf
part
of
partly
funded,
but
this
is
entirely
funded
by
the
golden
leaf
foundation.
So
we've
been
very
blessed
to
have
this
happen
to
us
it
is.
It
gives
us
a
in
addition
to
the
development
good
development
in
that
part
of
our
community.
A
A
So
the
good
news
for
the
town
of
black
mountain
is
that
this
pump
station
really
addresses
our
water
capacity
needs
for
the
foreseeable
future
for
decades
and,
for
you
know,
perhaps
longer
so
we're
very
we're
very
blessed
to
have
this.
This
this
happen
to
our
community
and
it'll
be
a
good
thing
for
the
county.
A
So
we'll
look
forward
to
that
when
that
day
comes,
but
all
that
to
say
that
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
conveyance
of
the
sewer
lines
and
easements
to
msd
and
authorize
the
mayor
and
town
clerk
to
execute
that
conveyance
and
to
approve
and
accept
the
conveyance
of
the
water
line.
Easements
from
the
county
and
direct
the
town
attorney
to
record
that
conveyance
in
the
office
of
the
registrar
of
deeds
for
buncombe
county.
E
A
E
We
had
the
ability
to
impose
a
500
fine
and
I
couldn't
find
the
basis
for
that
and
when
I
went
looking,
I
found
that
our
present
ordinance
says
it
shall
be
unlawful
for
any
person
to
interfere
with
the
hydra
plugs
or
sidewalk
cut-offs.
That's
all
it
says
that
said
that
from
at
least
1975,
the
earliest
set
of
warnings
I
have
so
what
I've
done
is
I've
drafted
an
ordinance
that's
before
you
today
that
spells
out
what
tampering
means
and
specifies
that
sets
out
that
civil
penalty
right.
H
Okay,
and
if
I
can
I'll
say
this,
isn't
that
large
of
an
issue-
it's
not
something
that's
happening
on
a
daily
basis,
but
we
do
have
your
regular
folks
that
someone
continues
to
do
this
monthly,
and
just
just
just
for
your
for
your
knowledge.
When
someone
does
this,
that's
typically
in
this
situation,
the
meter
is
being
broken,
which
means
we
have
to
purchase
a
new
meter
and
install
it,
and
those
are
usually
around
100
a
piece
just
for
the
meter.
L
E
Actually,
I
thought
of
the
things
where
people
might
interfere
with
the
use
of
water
and
the
meters
and
the
connections,
and
I
talked
to
jamie
about
some
of
the
things
that
happened
and
what
we
tried
to
address
are
the
people
that
run
down
and
turn
the
water
back
on.
After
the
town's
turned
it
off.
The
people
literally
will
bypass
it.
The
people
who
will
get
a
single
meter
and
use
that
meter
paying
a
single
residential
charge
and
connect
it
to
three
houses
and
those
seem
to
be
the
common
occurrences
that
happen
frequently
enough
to
address.
E
A
A
E
G
E
Today,
who
hasn't
enjoyed
this
for
the
last
three
or
four
years
with
us,
mary
hemphill,
when
she
died,
left
the
property
in
what
I
call
the
sims
property
off
of
70
running
up
for
the
top
miami
mountain
left
that
to
the
actual,
the
highland
conservancy,
on
the
condition
that
we
use
as
a
town
park
and
the
conservancy
is
not
in
the
business
of
running
town
parks,
but
we
are,
and
so
we
work
through
the
process
where
the
conservancy
could
convey
it
to
us
and
with
conditions
of
course,
be
operated
apart.
It's
a
it's.
E
Mike
begley
owns
an
easement
that
comes
off
a
sunset
and
enters
into
the
property
up
on
the
northeast
or
southeast
side
of
that
property,
which
is
a
safer
access,
and
so
he
asked
that
if
I
give
you
guys
that
easement
can
I
have
some
of
the
property.
Well,
the
answer
was
no,
but
there's
a
part
of
the
property
that
we
walked
and
is
not
particularly
useful.
E
The
park
that
the
town
could
say
we
just
don't
want
that
peace,
and
so
the
town
in
june
of
2019
passed
a
resolution
says
we
say
we
don't
need
we
won't,
we
won't
take.
We
don't
want
to
take
that
part
and
that
went
back
to
the
estate
which
the
state
was
happy
to
have,
because
they
have
some
money
to
pay
out
and
and
some
of
the
people
who
won't
get
financial
requests.
We're
not
going
to
get
them
because
mary
didn't
have
as
much
cash
as
she
thought.
She'd
have
on
him.
E
She
died,
and
so
you
got
a
map
in
your
packet.
The
yellow
shows
what
the
town
owns
the
green.
If
it
came
out
that
color
after
I
scanned
it
copied
it,
that's
the
area
that
the
town
has
renounced
and
with
and
the
estate
is
now
for
finish
up.
Negotiations
to
sell
to
bagley
you'll,
see
a
little
rectangular
end
stuck
up
at
the
edge
between
the
green
and
the
yellow.
That's
an
end
of
an
easement.
E
That's
on
an
old
plat
about
100
year
old
flat,
it's
roughly
25
to
30
feet
wide,
it's
kind
of
hard
to
tell
the
scale
on
those
old
plants,
and
it's
probably
a
thousand
feet
long
and
the
last
five
six
hundred
feet
of
it.
It's
not
in
use
there's
no
road
there,
and
if
we
owned
that
that
we
couldn't
just
walk
away
from
it,
we
would
have
to
get
a
price
for
it
and
put
up
or
upset
bid,
but
we
don't
own
it.
E
Should
it
ever
be
closed,
then
he'd
be
able
to
utilize
it
for
the
rest
of
the
property
he's
going
to
buy
around
it,
and
so
this
was
based
on
his
request
that
that
little
end
of
the
town
give
a
non-warranty
d.
We
don't
claim
to
own
it,
but
if
we
did,
you
can
have
it.
It
would
use
a
theory,
illegal
theory
down
the
road
called
feeding
the
extople
or
required
title
to
print
to
get
the
use
of
that
property,
and
that's.
I
E
He's
asked
and
that's
what's
before
you,
I
don't
make
a
recommendation
one
way
or
the
other
his
interest
in
this
arose
after
the
june
of
last
year.
What
he
really
wanted
was
10
or
15
20
feet
on
our
side,
so
he
could
close
it
and
the
law
would
say
and
have
all
of
it,
and
I
told
him
that
I
would
not
come
back
to
my
board
and
ask
them
for
another
10
or
20
feet,
and
we
really
can't
now
it's
hours.
We
have
to
go
through
that
process
and
sell
it.
E
So
that's
the
request
and
and
the
motion
that
the
board
approves
is
to
authorize
the
town
to
sign
a
non-warranty
claiming
no
ownership
conveying
what
interests
they
have
to
michael
beckman.
I
will
tell
you
that
I
would
sit
on
that
until
such
time
as
he
finished
his
arrangements
with
the
with
the
hymnfield
estate,
because
if
he
doesn't
purchase
the
rest
of
it
or
not,
there's
no
need
to
turn
that
loose.
A
E
Well,
this
this
plays
that
his
negotiations
with
the
city
I
mean
with
the
estate
and
if
you
pass
the
resolution
like
I
said
I
wouldn't
act
on
that
immediately
come
through,
but
it
would
be
authorized.
He
makes
the
rest
of
the
deal.
Oh
I'm
not
asking
to
be
table,
but
asking
if
you,
if
the
board
is
going
to
do
it,
then
we
have
the
resolution
to
do
that
so
that
when
and
if
he
works
it
out
with
him
below
state,
we
can
do
it.
E
It's
a
particular
interest
to
us,
although
we're
not
getting
cash
for
it,
that
access
over
sunset
drive
is
a.
It
would
be
a
nice
access
point
to
have
into
this
area
and
the
whole
deal
could
fall
apart
and
the
infield
estate
or
the
state
still
end
up
owning
the
green
section
and
bagley
never
buy,
but
I
think
they're,
pretty
close.
I
E
I
A
J
P
H
All
right,
I've
got
a
few
updates.
I
think
there
has
been
some
interest
in
at
least
some
coveted
19
updates.
So
I'll
give
you
a
little
bit
of
that
just
as
far
as
building
you
know,
town
wide
and
buildings.
You
know
at
this
point
we
are
still
still
not
open
to
the
public
should
they
need
to
come
in.
For
some
reason,
we
do
schedule
special
appointments
with
folks.
I
think
we've
been
getting
along
actually
a
lot
better
than
I
thought
we
would
without
having
folks
in.
H
H
H
We
are
following
the
guidelines
from
dhhs
from
north
carolina,
specifically,
they
provided
some
guidance
to
our
recreation
department
on
december
8th,
which
was
last
week,
and
I
think
we
are
on
the
verge
of
doing
some
indoor
soccer
and
let
me
just
read
a
little
bit
on
what
we're
doing
for
for
those
participants:
temperature
checks
for
players,
coaches
and
staff
before
anyone
is
allowed
to
participate
in
practice
or
games,
players
must
bring
their
own
water
bottles
labeled.
So
there's
no
sharing
or
mix-up
parents
and
spectators
are
required
to
wear
masks
at
practice
and
games.
H
Let's
see,
players
are
required
to
wear
a
mask
while
playing
and
on
the
sideline.
Everyone
must
adhere
to
social
distancing
guidelines.
Referees
are
required
to
wear
a
mask
at
all
times.
Teams
will
not
huddle
before
or
after
games,
no
shaking
hands,
no
high
fives,
no
fist
bumps
no
hitting
the
ball
in
any
age
group.
Siblings
will
not
be
able
to
attend
practice
or
games
unless
they
are
on
the
team.
H
H
Those
are
what
we're
hitting
for
for
the
youth
soccer.
I'd
say.
I
think
at
this
point
at
my
last
conversation
with
with
josh
anderson,
we've
got
over
30
folks
that
are
interested
in
playing
indoor
soccer,
so
it
is
something
that
folks
are
interested
in
doing
what
we're
doing
trying
to
do
is
provide
that
service
safely.
For
folks.
H
We're
also
doing
we've
got
some
more.
Let's
see
we,
we
did
a
fall
use
disc
golf
league
somewhat
similar,
but
that's
outside
circle
of
lights.
Of
course
we
did.
That
was
much
different
than
it
was
in
the
past
and
we're
doing
something
called
cabin
fever.
Defeater
series
so
we'll
be
using
the
same
measures
that
we
mentioned,
obviously
it'll
be
a
little
different
than
soccer,
because
you
won't
have
as
many
folks
but
we'll
still
be
doing
the
sanitation,
the
masks
all
that
all
that
stuff
temperature
checks.

where
reads
our
code,
so
just
I'm
sorry
to
jump
back
here,
but
so
josh
henderson
just
texted.
So
any
positive
test
ends
the
season
period
and
we
have
we.
We
do
have
in
places
about
them
signing
over
probabilities,
and
so
they
think
well,
if
they
come
into
contact
with
it,
they
will
notify
us
that.

All
right,
let's
see,
I
just
want
to
update
you
real
quick
on
some
outstanding
projects,
our
lake
tomahawk,
four
bay
project
that
we've
been
working
on
that's
finishing
up
this
week,
so
that
work
should
be
complete
this
week,
I'm
doing
a
walkthrough
of
them
on
thursday,
our
cherry
street
pedestrian
bump
outs
that
we've
obtained
our
encroachments
from
d.o.t,
and
we
will
start
that
after
the
holidays.
So
hopefully
around
the
first
week
in
january
weather
permitting
we'll
get
that
going
our
nc9
sidewalk
project.
We
did
obtain
encroachments
from
d.o.t
the
design.
H
Speaking
with
jesse
today,
the
design
is
finishing
up
now,
we'll
work
with
ron
on
easements
and
construction
tentatively
april
of
next
year,
so
about
four
months
out,
and
that
would
be
for
the
section
of
sidewalk
that
runs
really
from
jane
jacobs,
road
up
past,
not
quite
to
llama
vista.
Almost
the
eagle
scout
project
at
lake
tomahawk
with
that
playground
was
completed.
I
don't
know
if
you've
seen
that,
but
I've
got
nothing
but
great
comments
about
that.
I
think
that
thing
was
was
done.
Well,
he,
the
the
the
eagle
scout
noah,
is
his
first
name.
C
H
With
their
kids,
so
I
think
it
was
a
great
great
project.
Our
part
f
money,
which
is
our
parks
and
recreational
trust
fund,
grant
we
received
a
couple
years
ago.
We
are
finishing
that
up
now,
the
only
thing
we
have
left
are
the
bathrooms
and
the
fishing
pier
so
we're
hopeful
that
we'll
get
that
finished
up
this
spring.
We
are
right
now
in
the
process
of
working
on
some
easements,
to
run
that
sewer
out
to
blue
ridge
road
to
get
access
for
those
bathrooms.
A
H

I
had
a
something
I
wanted
to
just
give
a
shout
out
to
all
the
election
workers
in
buncombe,
county
board
of
elections
and
the
folks
in
our
local
precincts
that
work
so
hard
made.
Our
elections
go
off
smoothly
and
efficiently
and
it's
a
hard
job.
It's
a
lot
of
work
and
I
appreciate
all
their
efforts
and
the
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
add
was:
I
just
want
to
encourage
the
public
all
of
us
to
stay
safe
during
this
holiday
season.
N
L
G

An
honor
to
have
this
opportunity
to
serve
on
the
board
and
it's
an
honor
I
don't
take
lightly
and
and
the
responsibility
don't
take
lightly.
You
know-
and
I
just
really
appreciate
this
this
time
and
I
think
we
have
a
very
wonderful
strong
board
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
each
of
you
to
to
really
make
black
mountain
the
gym,
not
just
for
western
north
carolina
but
for
you
know
the
rest
of
the
state
and
across
the
across
the
globe.
So
thank
you.
I
Just
a
couple
things,
mr
mayor,
if
you
don't
mind
one,
I
would
like
to
ask
the
board
their
thoughts
on
a
couple
of
inquiries.
I've
received
for
from
groups
asking
to
do
a
presentation
before
the
board.
One
is
from
a
professor
at
unc
asheville
that
lives
in
ridgecrest
and
pierce.
He
is
working
with
a
group
to
create
a
monument
in
old
fort
for
railroad
workers
that
lost
their
lives
and
building
the
tunnels,
to
connect
black
mountain
down
down
to
old
ford
and
the
rest
of
north
carolina.
I
I
C
I
I
The
various
charter
issues
and
others-
I
I
think
there
is
definitely
a
movement
within
the
community
that
has
invested
a
lot
of
time
and
would
like
to
present
their
thoughts
on
that,
and
I
would
I'd
like
us
to
try
to
get
together
as
quickly
as
we
can
to
try
to
schedule
something.
So
people
can
start
letting
us
know
their
thoughts
on
that.
A
A
I
And
then,
lastly,
I
want
to
just
congratulate
and
welcome
pam
and
doug
to
the
board
and
congratulate
archie
again
on
his
election
and
being
seated
tonight,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
and
the
last
thing
is
just
wanna
wish
everyone
happy
holidays
and
merry
christmas
and
hope
everyone
stays
safe
and
I
hope
the
same
for
everybody
in
town
as
well.
Thank.

As
our
town
employees
gathered
for
what
is
usually
a
a
nice
big
event,
with
food
and
and
and
so
forth,
when
we're
all
together
and
all
the
board
can
come
and
and
even
our
volunteers
and
other
volunteer
board
members
and
volunteers
in
the
community
are
able
to
come.
But
of
course
we
can't
do
that
this
year,
but
we
do
appreciate
our
town,
employees.
A
It's
been
a
it's
been
a
laborious
year
with
for
them,
as
it
has
been
for
many
others,
but
they
have
stepped
up
and,
as
always
been
the
case,
at
least
in
my
experience
serving
on
the
board.
Our
employees
are
top-notch
and
that's
why
we
have
a
town
that
operates
well,
because
our
employees
work
well
together
and
support
them,
and
we
really
appreciate
them.
It's
been
a
difficult
year
for
many,
many
of
them,
many
of
us
in
our
communities,
both
in
loss
of
of
jobs
and
economic
hardship
and
loss
of
lives.
A
Our
broader
community,
in
the
coming
months
and
in
the
meantime,
let's,
let's
just
try
to
be
careful
and
try
to
set
a
good
example
to
that
where
we
go
and
with
that
not
only
to
the
board
down
attorney,
savannah
and
josh,
fred,
gary
and
and
all
those
who
serve
here
in
the
town.
We.
I
wish
you
just
a
very
merry
christmas,
happy
holiday
and
thank
you
for
all
you
do
for
in
the
community
and
to
to
our
citizens
merry
christmas.
