A
Actually
right
and
like
to
talk
about
a
dear
friend
of
mine,
who's,
retired,
from
sound
Jerry
beyond
today,
which
is
the
time
party
after
48
years
with
the
town
or
the
county.
He
served
a
long
long
time
and
has
an
illustrious
career,
very
well-respected
throughout
the
county,
and
this
county
will
well
missing
them.
With
that.
We
have
citizen
comments
and
I'll
remind
you
to
give
your
name
your
street
dress
and
remind
you
also
that
it's
three
minutes
and
the
first
we
have
is
want
Don,
Marcello.
C
C
Thanks
for
letting
me
speak,
I
know
this
is
an
exercise
in
futility,
but
I
want
to
register
my
complaint
and
I
wrote
this
so
I'm
gonna
read
it.
Our
forefathers
fought
a
revolution
to
correct
and
justices
of
being
ruled
and
taxed
by
England
without
the
say
or
representation
in
their
government.
They
then
form
this
great
nation
of
the
USA
on
the
Democratic
notion
of
our
leaders
being
selected
and
voted
into
office
by
the
people
for
a
designated
term
and
a
designated
length
of
time
in
Black
Mountain.
C
That
term
limits
four
years
for
each
of
our
aldermen
and
our
mayor.
The
elections
have
been
held
on
odd-numbered
years
now,
the
commissioners,
all
of
them
have
decided
to
change
the
election,
the
even
number
of
years.
This
is
being
done
supposedly
to
save
some
money
and
it
hook
up
to
the
general
elections
of
state
international
candidates.
That's
well
and
fine,
except
in
the
changeover
process.
Our
leaders
decide
to
give
themselves
an
extra
unapproved
year
in
office
to
cancel
the
election.
This
year
was
an
unacceptable
decision.
C
We
now
have
for
I
think
four
unelected
aldermen
sitting
in
front
of
me.
Perhaps
maybe,
since
your
volunteers
you'll
forego
your
wages
and
will
save
a
little
bit
more
money,
true
patriot
would
have
limited
their
terms
to
three
to
get
to
the
even
number
years
not
absconded
off
with
an
extra
year.
Canceling
an
election
undermines
the
basic
tenets
of
our
democratic
republic,
to
which
we
have
all
pledged
their
allegiance
tonight
also,
and
our
founding
fathers
fought
a
revolution
for
this
might
not
be
illegal,
but
it's
not
right.
Shame
on
y'all.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
Board
of
Aldermen,
my
name
is
Shawn
Sloane
and
I'm.
A
new
resident
of
Black
Mountain,
my
wife
and
I,
moved
here
in
June
and
reside
on
3rd
Street.
Black
Mountain
is
a
new
home
and
I'm
interested
in
contributing
to
the
town.
After
attending
a
recent
meeting
of
the
Historic
Preservation
Society
and
expressing
an
interest
in
serving
I
was
invited
by
the
chair
to
apply
for
one
of
the
vacant
seats.
Evidently
they
were
having
a
challenge
meeting
quorum
and
they
had
no
other
potential
candidates.
D
I
promptly
applied
for
the
position
as
chance
would
have
it.
I
bumped
into
the
mayor
at
the
gun,
&
pawn
shop
and
I
conveyed
to
him.
My
interest
in
serving
on
the
committee
I
was
discouraged
by
the
mayor's
response.
He
stated
that
he
would
never
appoint
a
newcomer
to
any
of
the
town
boards
or
committees
since
I
have
not
received
a
response
to
my
application
and
the
town
clerk
informed
me
that
that
you
were
probably
waiting
for
other
candidates
to
apply
for
the
empty
seat.
D
D
E
F
Good
evening,
everyone
it's
hard
holiday
time,
but
it's
always
time
for
recycling
only
in
holidays.
We
might
have
a
little
bit
more
to
recycle,
particularly
packaging
items,
and
that's
where
rainbow
recycling
comes
in
to
help
this
year
is
our
12
annual
holiday
recycling
event
for
styrofoam
packaging
and
Christmas
light
strands.
We
wanted
to
show
some
clips
from
other
years
a
little
bit
about
historical
presentation,
so
I'll,
let
Angela
let
it
roll.
F
G
F
Is
like
the
others,
with
two
exceptions
this
year
we
only
able
to
provide
one
date.
That's
Saturday,
January
4th.
We
don't
have
an
alternate
date,
but
for
your
styrofoam
you
can
take
it
to
the
holiday
to
the
heart
of
the
recycle
collection
in
January,
on
Patton
Ave
and
the
other
exception
is
we're
not
taking
peanuts
this
year.
F
H
A
I
Good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
James
Benz
and
I
am
the
audit
service
partner
from
Malden
and
Jenkins
who
served
on
the
town's
audit
engagement
this
year.
I
believe
each
of
you
have
our
auditors
discussion
and
analysis.
I,
don't
intend
to
read
the
whole
thing,
but
this
is
includes
all
of
our
required
communications
under
the
standards
to
provide
to
you
all.
I
just
want
to
go
through
and
kind
of
hit.
I
Some
of
the
highlights,
and
if
at
any
point
in
there,
you
guys
have
a
question,
do
feel
free
to
jump
in
at
any
point
in
time.
So
I'm
gonna
start
on
page
four
and
kind
of
one
of
the
things.
We
always
want
to
make
sure
to
point
out
the
comprehensive
annual
financial
report,
which
is
your
annual
financial
statements.
Those
are
prepared
by
your
management
team.
As
your
independent
auditor.
It's
our
responsibility
to
come
in
and
audit
that
information
with
the
intent
of
issuing
an
opinion
as
to
whether
or
not
the
financial
statements
are
materially
correct.
I
As
presented
we
can.
We
conduct
our
audit
in
accordance
with
generally
accepted
auditing
standards,
as
well
as
government
auditing
standards.
What
that
means
is
we
don't
test
100%
of
your
transactions,
but
we
test
enough
to
be
able
to
state
whether
or
not
the
financial
statements
are
materially
correct,
and
so,
through
that
process
we
issued
an
unmodified
commute
this
year.
That's
the
same
opinion
you
received
last
year
and
it
states
that
they
are
it's
kind
of
a
clean
opinion.
If
you
will
that
the
statements
are
materially
correct,
as
presented
by
management.
I
Onto
going
into
page
six
as
part
of
that
process,
I'm
gonna
go
over
just
a
few
kind
of
financial
results,
kind
of
the
two
big
areas
that
a
lot
of
people
will
look
when
they
try
to
look
government-to-government
to
evaluate
how
entities
are
doing.
Is
they
look
for
general
funds,
because,
obviously
every
government
is
going
to
have
a
general
fund.
I
What's
in
the
general
fund
varies
between
entities,
but
everyone
has
a
general
fund
in
the
end
and
then
we're
also
going
to
look
at
your
water
fund
in
a
couple
of
pages,
but
on
page
six
kind
of
at
the
top.
We
just
got
a
four
year
trend,
just
as
a
glance
of
where
your
revenues
and
expenditures
have
been
in
your
general
fund.
I
People
will
gauge
a
general
fund
and
they
do
that
by
looking
at
fund
balance
compared
to
expenditures,
because
that's
going
to
be
consistent
for
the
most
part
entity
to
entity,
and
so
you
can
see
that
kind
of
the
graphs
there
at
the
bottom.
Your
unassigned
being
the
green
bar
is
the
predominant
amount
of
your
general
fund,
which
represents
what
you
have
available
going
forward
into
the
future
years
for
expenditures
in
the
bottom
of
the
graphs.
I
You
can
see
the
percentages
there,
which
will
also
hit
on
a
future
page,
but
this
year
at
the
end
of
June
30
2019.
You
ended
with
about
thirty
one
and
a
half
percent
of
your
general
fund
fund
balance
compared
to
your
2019
expenditures,
which
equates
to
about
a
hundred
seventeen
days
of
reserve.
If
you
want
to
kind
of
think
of
it
in
what
do
we
have
going
forward,
that
does
exclude
it
from
a
reporting
standpoint
that
excludes
what
you've
already
appropriated
for
FY
2008
purposes.
I
On
page
seven
at
the
top
of
the
page,
this
is
so
to
say
the
thirty
thousand
thirty
thousand
miles
high
view
of
your
general
fund
budget.
You
can
see
kind
of
the
way
the
chart
works
there
at
the
top.
We've
got
your
original,
your
your
very
first
amendment,
our
adoption
of
the
2019
budget,
your
amendments
and
then
the
final
column
represents
your
final
approved
operating
budget
for
the
general
fund,
and
so
you
can
see
we
started
the
year
with
the
anticipation
of
using
about
fifty
nine
thousand
dollars
of
your
reserves.
I
Through
amendments,
we
were
ending
the
year
anticipating
to
use
about
three
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
your
general
fund
reserves,
but
the
actual
performance
was
we
added
four
hundred
thousand
to
the
bottom
line.
So,
instead
of
using
the
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand,
we
had
a
procreated
for
purposes.
We
ended
up
through
increased
revenue
collections
and
cost
savings
and
kind
of
controlling
costs.
In
your
departments,
we
ended
up
padding
through
the
bottom
line,
so
kind
of
a
nice
swing
to
see
at
the
at
the
middle
of
the
page.
I
You
know
we
just
talked
about
the
unassigned
numbers.
This
also
gives
you
kind
of
a
context
of
your
general
fund
budget
as
a
whole
compared
to
your
your
current
year
expenditures,
and
so,
as
we
talked
about
you
ended
the
year
at
about
thirty
one
and
a
half
percent
of
your
general
fund
being
unassigned.
Your
total
fund
balance
represents
almost
69
percent
of
your
annual
expenditures,
and
so
you
can
see
the
past
couple
of
years.
I
E
Back
up
on
the
your
chart,
with
our
fund
balance
and
amendments,
original,
etc.
On
amendments
and
this
question
for
you
or
Dean,
either
one
I
know
you
could
like
to
answer
it,
but
the
amendments
we
pass
a
budget
and
then,
of
course,
have
to
go
to
the
local
government
Commission.
They
have
it,
as
this
report
goes
down
there
too,
but
when
we
the
amendments
each
and
every
journal
entry
that
you
you
know,
they
end.
E
H
E
The
what
the
local
government
Commission
sees
they,
of
course
they
want
this.
Then
they
already
have
it
and
that's
what
they
look
at
is
to
your
your
your
amendments
to
the
budget
and
kind
of
looking
at
the
health
of
the
town
overall,
but
you
don't
have
to
they.
Don't
you
don't
report
the
amendments
to
them.
H
K
E
Along
the
along
those
lines
I
draw
out.
If
the
and
this
is
you
know
the
reports
on
the
website,
it's
already
on
the
website
yeah,
but
there's
a
good.
You
know,
I
guess
these
are
required
parts
of
the
financial
statements,
but
there's
a
schedule
of
store
clock
on
about
page
71
and
in
the
statements
or
you
know
when
they
in
the
package
they
get
sits
on
the
kafir'.
But
the
comprehensive
annual
financial
report
starts
not
about
page
71
but
I.
Think
that's
really
a
useful
but
you're
useful
worksheet.
E
Maybe
you're
going
to
talk
about
it
at
some
point
in
time,
you're
just
talking
about
the
budget
and
then
the
amendments
and
then
the
actual
you've
got
amended
budget
to
the
actual
and
then
any
variances
with
you
know
with
the
final
budget,
that's
just
very
helpful.
It's
one
of
the
most
helpful
things
that
no.
H
E
Just
to
remind
them
watching
them
watching
this
later
any
member
of
the
public
here,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
control
over
what
goes
on
and
it
doesn't
doesn't
mean
that
there
can't
use
the
things
that
happened.
Everyone
Genet,
sometimes
a
management
set
forth-
is
we
know
from
here
in
Buncombe
County,
but
there's
a
lot
of
control
over
what
happens
with
the
budget
and
these
amendments,
and
so
forth
and
and
I
do
have
one
question
for
you
and
I
guess.
E
This
is
as
good
a
time
as
any
because
of
what
you've
just
reviewed
with
us
about
fund
balance
and
the
amendments
and
journal
entries
that
we
just
spoke
about
this
each
when
you're,
auditing
and
I
heard
this
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
it
surprised
me
that
I
heard
this
I.
You
know
the
class
I
continuing
education
class
was
in
recently
and
I.
Don't
do
governmental
work,
but
they
made
the
comment
that
that's
where
most
this
guy
was.
E
E
You
know
a
good
bit
of
the
you
know,
that's
where
if
someone
is
trying
to
perpetrate
some
sort
of
dishonesty,
they
do
it
with
the
journalism
and
so
I
just
sort
of
draw
that
that
that
to
the
public's
attention,
because
Dean
make
me
know
he
gives
us
I
mean
the
journal
entries
are
always
in
the
met,
and
they
you
know
in
our
consent,
agenda
and
so
forth.
It
now
would
there
be
journal
entries
that
Dean
can
make
that
don't
show
up
in
the
the
consent
agenda.
H
E
H
I
L
H
C
H
C
I
So,
generally
speaking,
most
people
look
to
cash
flows
because
that'll
really
give
you
an
idea
and
it's
a
little
more
common
towards
a
non-governmental
entity,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
kind
of
familiar
with
what
a
cash
flow
statement
looks
like
so
we've
pulled
out
certain
numbers
here
and
at
the
bottom
of
our
right
in
the
middle
of
page
10.
You
know,
generally
speaking,
we
start
with
cash
flows
from
operations
and
so
you'll
see
the
water
fund
had
a
positive
$400,000
from
operations.
I
When
you
see
that
we
kind
of
look,
what
do
they
do
with
those
cash
flows?
Hopefully
what
we
like
to
see
is
reinvesting
in
the
system
and
if
you'll
go
down
to
that
kind
of
third
section
there.
That's
your
capital
related
financing
activities,
and
you
can
see
we've
made
about
$300,000
of
capital
improvements
to
the
system,
as
well
as
we're
paying
on
debt
service,
which
is
financing
on
prior
year
and
so
we're
reinvesting
our
cash
flow
from
operations
into
the
system
itself,
which
is
a
good
thing
to
see
in
that
middle
area.
I
You'll,
see,
there's
a
big
inner
fund
loan
of
about
three
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
dollars
and
that's
a
kind
of
cash
flow
timing
dealing
with
the
commerce
part
project
where
that
fund
was
waiting
on
a
reimbursement
and
we
had
to
pre-fund
the
disbursements
with
water
monies,
but
the
monies
once
it
comes
in
from
the
grant
will
come
back
and
reimburse
the
water
fund.
So
the
the
Gulf
Coast
excuse
me
golf
course:
fund.
I
Is
your
other
enterprise
fund
and
maybe
not
to
the
same
tune
as
your
water
fund,
but
not
a
typical
of
a
municipality
golf
fund
you'll
see
the
operations
actually
were
a
negative
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
year
and
that's
being
supplemented
with
a
transfer
from
the
general
fund
with
a
pretty
pretty
much
a
wash
for
the
year's
operations.
There.
I
If
you'll
flip
with
me
to
page
12,
I'm
gonna,
just
kind
of
hit
a
couple
of
things
on
page
12
and
13
I
do
want
to
take
a
minute.
This
was
our
first
year
working
with
the
town
and
I
do
want
to
thank
Dean
working
with
him.
We
did
not
have
any
difficulty
working
with
management.
It
was
very
responsive
and
getting
us
the
information
we
needed.
It's
always
a
little
bit
of
a
bump.
I
If
you
will
dealing
with
a
change
in
your
auditors
getting
accustom
to
what
each
other
once,
but
he
was
very
responsive
and
very
good
at
getting
us
the
information
we
needed
to
conduct
our
procedures.
So
I
do
want
to
thank
him
too,
that,
through
the
audit
process,
we
did
have
some
audit
adjustments.
Those
are
included
in
the
back
of
the
packet
for
your
review,
but
we've
already
met
with
management.
I
We've
gone
over
those
they're
already
incorporated
in
your
financial
statements
as
part
of
the
the
capper
in
and
of
itself,
and
we
did
get
representations
from
management
that
the
financial
statements
they
that
we
have
helped
draft
based
on
the
information
they
provided
are
correct
as
they
intended
them
to
be
again.
We
are
independent
from
the
from
the
information
that
we've
audited
all
the
data.
That's
in
your
financial
statements
comes
from
your
management
team
and
we
audit
that
information
so
again
just
want
to
make
to
delineate
the
separation
there.
I
As
part
of
this
year's
audit
at
the
bottom
of
page
14,
we
did
have
a
couple
of
the
adjustments.
I
know
you
know.
I
mentioned
we
had
some
audit
adjustments.
We
had
a
few
adjustments
that
hit
thresholds
under
the
standards
to
be
recorded
to
be
reported
as
findings.
They
were
kind
of
just
one
time,
urine,
closeout
injury-related
items
so
not
earth-shattering
or
really
concerning,
but
under
the
standards
that
required
to
be
communicated
because
of
the
magnitude
of
those
entries.
I
Page
16
just
has
a
couple
of
what
we
call
kind
of
byproducts
of
the
audit
areas
where
we
see
room
for
improvement,
but
they
don't
reach
the
magnitude
of
being
reported
as
any
sort
of
significant
deficiency
or
material
weakness
in
the
control
system.
We're
just
kind
of
byproducts
and
recommendations
for
management.
We've
discussed
all
of
these
with
management.
I
We've
met
with
them
since,
and
we
can't
speak
as
to
whether
or
not
things
have
been
implemented,
because
we
have
an
audit
to
20
yet,
but
obviously
we're
working
with
them
to
make
sure
we
can
get
as
many
of
these
mitigated
began
and
then
on
page
17,
the
last
several
pages
here,
if
you
guys
have
trouble
sleeping
tonight.
This
is
all
the
new
standards
that
are
coming
out
in
the
next
several
years.
Some.
I
Be
applicable
to
the
town
and
some
of
them
are
not
applicable,
but
we
always
want
to
make
sure
that
you
all
have
them
in
front
of
you,
because
decisions
you
make
will
and
can't
change
what
is
applicable
in
it
equal
time,
the
biggest
one
that
really
don't
need
to
dive
into
in
depth,
but
that
Gaby
87
deals
with
how
you
account
for
leases.
It's
applicable
and
you're.
This
way
you're
2021.
So
we
still
have
a
little
bit
of
time
to
get
it
in
place.
I
But
it's
ultimately
gonna
change
the
way
that
you
account
for
leases
and
that
any
operating
leases
you
have
have
always
just
been
disclosed
and
potentially
now
will
be
reported
as
liabilities.
But
again
that's
gonna,
be
for
all
governmental
entities
and
it's
gonna
be
kind
of
a
big
task
to
undertake.
So
that's
why
they
pushed
out
the
implementation
dates
so
many
years
in
advance.
So
we
will
be
working
with
your
management
team
to
make
sure
that
we've
kind
of
considered
all
aspects
of
that
as
we
get
ready
to
approach
into
2021.
E
Just
quickly
and
I
guess
it's
note.
Ten
in
the
financial
statements
point
us
to
the
number
you
were
Dean
one
that
is,
that
is
the
town's
responsibility
for
the
state
pension.
You
know
we
have
to.
We
have
to
go
use
off.
You
go
through
that
pretty
complicated
calculation,
but
it's
an
interesting
number
just
for
the
public
to
understand
a
bit,
which
is
the
retirees,
is
the
plan
and
managed
by
the
state?
E
I
K
I
I
You
have
your
your
elders
plan,
which
is
for
all
the
government
employees,
and
then
you
have
your
Leo
plan,
which
is
just
for
the
law
enforcement
officers
and
so
at
the
bottom
of
page,
46
you'll
see
the
the
town's
share
of
that
liability
from
the
state
plan
at
June.
30
2019
was
one
point:
five
million
dollars
1.44
and
that's
the
net
pension
liability
under
the
elders
and
then
the
liability
for
the
Leo
plan
was
seven
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
and
that
represents
an
actuary,
not
our
calculation,
of
what
they
project.
E
No,
the
word
is
that,
as
this
saying
as
this
correctly,
if
you
take
it's
all
discounted
down
to
the
present
present
time
but
you're
saying
that
there's
1.7
to
a
little
more
than
two
million
dollars
of
liabilities
and
present-day
dollars
that
exceed
the
assets,
yes
and
that's
for
the
town
of
Black
Mountain,
think
about
that
across
the
state.
It's
a
big
number
and.
E
C
I
There's
a
required
supplementary
schedule
and
I
don't
have
to
take,
take
ease
in
this
or
not,
but
that
very
bottom
percentage.
There
is
sort
of
the
funding
percentage
for
the
state
plan,
and
so
you
can
see
it
2019.
The
elders
plan
was
actually
about
92%
funded,
which
is
a
relatively
healthy
pension
plan
for
a
state
funded
plan.
So,
while
you're
your
number
one
point,
seven
is
that
very
top
percentage.
I
You
are
Oh
point
zero,
six
percent
of
the
state's
liability,
so
you
can
do
math
the
other
way
and
if
you're
one
point,
seven
million
and
you're,
not
even
one
percent
of
the
plan.
Obviously
the
liability
is
a
large
number
for
the
state,
but
that
being
said,
the
state
of
North
Carolina
is
almost
at
92
percent
funded.
So
that's
somewhat
comforting
for
the
employees.
I
E
E
E
I
J
E
I
don't
talked
about
that.
One
I
mean
this
is
a
different
discussion.
It
doesn't
have
that
much
to
do
at
a
black
man.
It
has
to
do
it
to
state
plan.
But
if
you
you
know,
even
though
it's
90
percent
funded,
our
portion
of
the
unfunded
life
of
the
unfunded
liability
is
between
the
two
plans
over
two
billion
dollars.
That's
something
number
but.
I
K
I
L
I
E
E
What
we're
talking
benefits
I
do
have
a
question
and
I
think
this
is
again.
This
is
for
public
I
mean
if
this
is
a
reasonable
number,
but
I
heard
this
number
the
other
day
and
a
budget
conversation
elsewhere,
but
it
was
a
government
conversation
that,
if
it's
sort
of
curious,
if
this
is
true
for
the
town
of
Black,
Mountain
Dane
I,
know
you're
getting
ready
to
do
your
report.
But
if
we're,
if
we
we're
going
to
have
a
new
position,
let's
say
it's
in:
let's
say
it's
in
public
works
and
it's
a
20.
E
You
know
the
salary
is
twenty
thousand
dollars.
Do
we
pretty
much
take
that
number
and
say
one
one
one
times
one
point,
four
five,
or
in
other
words
forty
five
percent
would
be
you'd.
Add
that
to
that
twenty
thousand
dollars
for
the
total
package
for
that
employee,
with
with
retirement
and
health
insurance,
etc,
is
that
about.
E
Well,
I'll
tell
you
what
what
this
discussion
was.
It
was
Atlanta
sky
and
it
was
the
executive
director
because
we're
doing
a
package
to
you
know,
as
you
know,
researching
for
a
new
executive
director,
and
that
was
the
discussion
that
Justin
Henry
offered.
It
was
like
take
take
my
package,
so
this
is
pretty
significant.
It
was
Dina
the
executive,
pretty
early,
significant
salary.
He
said
just
take
it
times,
one
point
four
or
five
and
that's
about
where
you're
going
to
come
in
with
it
as
a
package.
E
E
Kind
of
I
don't
know
for
the
public
to
realize
and
for
actually
everybody
to
realize
that
that
that
employees
that
the
package
is
I
mean
the
package
over
and
above
salary.
It's
pretty
significant.
You
know
that
raises
that
now
and
reminding
another
one
other
thing
that
I
think
of
important,
which
I
can't
ever
keep
track
of
exactly
how
much
is
contributed
in
retirement
for
an
employee.
H
E
E
That's
still
that's
right,
I
got
but
it's
duck,
but
they
don't
have
a
choice
which
is
not
a
bad
thing
actually,
but
that's
still.
Actually,
if
you
took
that
six
percent
of
light
twelve
percent
now
the
thirteen
percent
is
still
substantial
in
today's,
especially
in
today's
today's
pinch
of
pinch
it
in
retire.
H
E
H
E
Good
and
I'm
thankful.
We
appreciate
our
employees
and
not
trying
to
bicker
about
it,
we're
not
trying
to
make
that
a
negative
thing
at
all.
It's
a
positive
thing,
but
it's
a
positive
thing
for
the
public
to
know
that
we
do.
The
government
takes
care
of
its
employees.
You
know
pretty
well
and
in
the
state
of
North,
Carolina
and
I.
Think
we'd
be
proud
of
that.
But
you
know
fifteen
percent
of
your
salary
you're
not
going
to
get
that
anywhere.
H
So
I'm
gonna
be
a
little
bit
out
of
order
here.
I'm
talking
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
two
different
time
periods
for
what
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
kafir'
report
that
James
just
talked
about,
but
I'm
also
going
to
give
you
a
little
recap
of
the
first
four
months
of
fiscal
year:
20
d'lai
first
through
October
31st
and
to
be
honest,
I'm
gonna,
finish
up
James's
stuff.
First
I
had
told
Angela
about
two
hours
ago.
H
I
was
gonna,
do
an
opposite,
but
it
really
makes
more
sense
for
us
to
stay
with
the
financial
report
on
June
30th.
So
and
to
be
honest,
I
don't
have
wonderful
powerpoints
on
that.
I
really
want
to
go
over
some
of
James's
comments.
More
about
internal
controls
and
and
Josh
and
I
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
these
and
we're
gonna
do
everything
in
our
power
to
implement.
They
see
he's
already.
H
Some
of
them
were
like
they
wanted
me
to
review
payroll
before
checks
were
actually
cut
or
we
ACH
money
to
everybody
and
I
have
been
reviewing
this
for
a
long
long
time,
but
sometimes
I
don't
get
to
it
before
the
checks
are
cut.
So
if
there
was
a
mistake,
I
might
not
notice
it
until
after
the
fact
now,
the
payroll
department
has
always
looks
at
this
pretty
closely
too,
because
they're,
the
ones
who
initiate
this
whole
thing.
H
Eventually,
I
might
not
even
be
there
because
these
guys
will
be
able
to
view
these
things
and
kind
of
know
the
origins
of
them
a
little
bit
on
their
own.
It
might
take
couple
months
for
that
to
be
conveyed.
We're
also
josh
is
also
going
to
be
looking
randomly
at
bank
reconciliations
in
the
past.
That
has
kind
of
been
myself
and
in
my
assistants
position
and
sometimes
I
had
a
lot
of
knowledge.
H
I've
always
had
a
lot
of
knowledge
in
there,
but
sometimes
you
could
argue
that
nobody
else
had
any
knowledge,
Courtney's
picking
things
up
pretty
well,
but
we're
also
going
to
get
Josh
involved
in
that
we
kind
of
talked
to
Larry
a
little
bit
about
getting
his
services,
but
I
think
we
can
get
this
solution
without
getting
the
board
involved.
Although,
although
we're
open
to
really
any
of
board
members,
have
you
ever
wanted
to
review
a
bank
reconciliation?
You
could
you
don't
even
need
to
talk
to
me.
E
E
E
H
H
E
H
A
challenge
James
hotel,
yeah
I-
think
it's
a
challenge
for
any
small
government.
Yeah
I
mean
he
could
write
similar
type
notes
of
it
for
any
small
government
back
to
our
hafir
report.
Again,
I
apologize
for
not
having
great
information
here,
but
I
do
what
I'm
not
ready
for
this
thing
yet,
but
I
go
on
page
four.
H
One
of
the
second
bullet
point:
there
tells
that
the
government's
net
position
increased
by
about
over
two
point:
1
million
dollars.
Now
net
position
includes
capital
assets
which
the
governmental
funds
do
not
include
capital
assets.
The
reason
that
went
up
I
mean
that's
a
huge
increase
for
us
two
point:
1
million
dollars.
The
reason
that
is
is
because
of
grants,
mostly
the
bottom
project,
but
also
our
Police
Department
and
our
planning
department
and
a
lot
of
these
come
before
the
board
and
budget
amendments.
H
H
H
So
us
whenever
we
come
to
you
guys
with
these
grants
and
really
police
planning
and
this
vitam
project
there's
been
more
grants
in
the
last
two
or
three
years
around
this
organ
than
there
were
in
my
first
five
or
six,
but
that's
sort
of
kind
of
free
money
for
the
town
and
that's
increasing
our
net
worth
what
we
call
in
that
position
in
the
governmental
finance
field.
The
fourth
bullet
point
down
on
page
four
talks
about
that
unassigned
fund
balance.
It
was
sort
of
odd
this
year.
H
It
actually
went
down
slightly,
but
the
percentage
went
up
and
that's
because
the
previous
fiscal
year
we
had
some
very
we
had
that
number
has
calculated.
The
denominator
of
that
number
is
total
general
fund
expenditures.
In
a
given
year
and
the
previous
fiscal
year.
We
bought
that
home
in
fabric
building,
so
governmental
expenditures
had
a
very
high
denominator.
H
The
denominator
in
this
case
unassigned
fund
balance,
really
didn't
change
a
whole
lot.
It
went
down,
but
the
percentage
went
up
because
we
had
less
expenditures
in
fiscal
year.
Nineteen,
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
numbers
anomaly
that
some
of
us
have
fun
with
those
things.
The
last
bullet
point
talks
about
debt.
I
know
some
of
us
are
concerned
about
death.
Our
debt
actually
went
up
it's
just
under
4.1
million
dollars
at
the
end
of
fiscal
year.
19,
that's
mainly
because
of
the
lease
we
took
out
for
the
communications
equipment
at
the
fire
department.
H
Currently,
we
really
don't
have
well
that
debt
runs
out
in
two
or
three
years,
but
other
than
that
all
of
our
debts
on
the
books
until
about
2030
I
think
tom
square
comes
off
first
at
2028,
so
we
don't.
We
won't
be
retiring
any
debt.
Besides
this
police
communication
equipment
in
the
near
future,
and
that.

and
73.
If
you
have
your
kafirs
around
you
to
me,
the
most
interesting
column,
one
on
that
page
is
the
column
to
the
far
right,
because
that
sort
of
shows
you
how
well
or
how
poorly
I
did
on
the
budget.
So
on
the
revenue
side,
you
kind
of
like
to
see
large
positive
numbers,
because
that
means
I
budgeted
a
million
dollars
and
we
got
in
over
a
million
dollars.
H
H
H
H
This
one's
actually
a
four
month
report
but
and-
and
it
may
be-
that
it's
just
stuff
in
your
mailbox-
it
may
be
that
it
looks
a
little
bit
different,
but
we're
going
to
give
you
a
financial
update
on
the
town
at
recorder,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
some
of
these
numbers.
So,
first
of
all,
you
know
our
biggest
revenue
is
taxes
about
close
to
80
percent
of
our
taxes
come
in
and
no
member,
December
and
January.
H
So,
even
though
that
tax
number
shows
that
we
only
have
17%
in
well
we're
going
to
start
seeing
some
large
taxes
are
due
December
31st
and
they
start
occurring
late
fees
after
December
31st.
So
some
big
money
will
be
coming
in
in
the
month
of
December
sales,
tax
and
franchise
taxes
are
both
there's
a
three-month
delay.
So
even
you
know
that
we
only
really
have
one
month
worth
of
sales.
Tax
sales
tax
has
been
a
great
benefit
for
the
town.
H
Asheville
is
a
big
part
of
that
since
I've
been
here,
sales
tax
have
increased
six
and
a
half
percent
a
year.
They
virtually
doubled
in
in
ten
years,
and
the
city
of
Asheville
is
a
big
draw.
That
building
permits
are
showing
much
higher
in
the
first
four
months
of
this
year,
as
opposed
to
last
year,
mainly
mainly
because
of
a
lot
of
activity
at
Gibbons
estates.
H
Black
Mountain
is
still
a
popular
place
to
be
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
Black
Mountain
in
Buncombe
County
as
a
whole
on
to
the
water
fund,
which
is
sort
of
in
the
middle
water.
Revenues
are
higher
due
to
the
fee
increase
of
4%,
but
also
the
system
development
fee
that
we
all
have
remember
that
we
talked
about
now
for
what
six
eight
months
that
is
attributing
to
higher
would
I
have
it
under
other
water
revenues,
but
that
increased
those
revenues
quite
a
bit
on
the
bottom.
H
We
have
golf
which
the
first
four
months
of
fiscal
year
20
our
green
and
card
fees,
are
the
highest
they've,
been
in
that
during
that
time
period
since
I've
been
here,
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
weather
at
golf
I
think
Calvin.
The
goose
dog
is
helping
us
out
a
little
bit
there,
but
the
course
itself
has
been
in
good
shape
if
we
continue
with
this
trend,
we'll
have
our
best
revenue,
green
and
cart
fees
since
I've
been
here.
H
If
we
continue,
but
you
know,
we
really
don't
make
a
lot
of
golf
court
revenue
during
November,
December,
January,
February
and
will
start
back
up
about
you
know
those
spring
months
can
get
good
for
us
as
well.
On
page
two
of
this
Thank
You
Angela
I
go
through
expenditures
by
department,
really
the
public
buildings
Department,
which
is
about
the
third
bang.
There.
H
We
pay
a
lot
of
insurance
money
early
in
the
year,
so
that
looks
like
we've
spent
61%,
even
though
technically
we're
only
about
a
third
through
the
year
four
months,
but
that's
just
because
we
prepay
a
bunch
of
insurance
bills.
The
water
budget
overall
looks
to
be
a
little
bit
down.
We've
only
spent
23%,
that's
mainly
because
of
delayed
capital
purchases.
Josh
and
I
were
telling
the
guys
to
hold
back
on
vehicle
purchases
in
part
because
of
the
enterprise
idea
and
they've
been
short
a
person
in
the
water
department
for
the
whole
fiscal
year.
H
H
So,
even
though
it
look,
it
looks
like
we
haven't,
spent
much
on
debt,
but
by
the
end
of
the
year
that'll
be
that'll,
be
hitting
my
budgeted
amounts,
I'm,
sorry
and
lastly,
on
page
four
I
give
you
there
one
more
page
there
Angela
and
I
need
to
get
this.
This
format
will
be
better
next
time.
I
come
up
here,
but
I,
but
I
show
you
fun
balance.
The
top
part
of
that
is
fun
balance
and
really
those
numbers
James
said
earlier
that
we
increased
fun
balance
by
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
H
Those
numbers
appear
to
be
about
even
at
October
31st,
but
mainly
that's
because
of
that
Commerce
Park
towards
the
bottom.
The
I
was
owed
close
to
a
half
million
dollars
in
grant
money
which
I
really
received
in
November,
or
maybe
it
was
early
December,
but
it
just
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
delay
and
me
getting
that
money
if
that
money
was
well.
H
H
A
N
First,
unlike
the
sin
agenda,
will
be
your
adoption
of
minutes
for
the
October
10th
agenda
session,
October
14th
2019
regular
session
minutes
item
B
will
be
your
adoption
of
your
annual

for
the
upcoming

of

item.
C
is
a
call
for
public
hearing
for
text.
Amendments
for
a
traffic
impact
analysis
ordinance.
This
has
been
through
the
plan
board
over
the
past
couple
of
months.
What
you'll
have
this
is
just
a
call
for,
but
just
a
little
bit
of
description
on
it.
N
What
is
trying
to
be
done
here
is
to
add
some
language
to
the
lane
use
code
or
the
zoning
ordinance
to
allow
for
or
to
require.
Excuse
me
a
traffic
impact
analysis
by
developers
when
they
develop
a
certain
size
development
project,
whether
that
be
residential,
commercial
or
schools
or
any
things
along
anything
along
that
line.
N
Item
8
excuse
me:
5
feet
will
be
a
Coughlin
public
hearing
to
close
a
portion
of
an
unopened
plan
right
away
parallel
to
Ruby
Avenue
since
off
McCoy
Cove.
This
is
also
a
call
for
public
hearing
item.
5E
is
a
budget
amendment
for
Heron
Street
property
purchase.
This
is
something
that's
been
discussed
over
the
past
couple
months,
some
in
closed
session
and
we've
got
the
the
contract
and
everything
together
ready
to
to
do
the
budget
amendment.
N
For
this
forty
eight
thousand
five
hundred
and
sixty
one
dollars
I
know
this
specific
piece
of
property
is
sandwiched
between
white
pond
drive
and
Heron
Street
off
of
Blue
Ridge
Road
I.
Think
this
board
itself
has
been
interested
in
this
property
for
a
number
of
years,
with
this
board's
guidance,
we're
finally
able
to
get
in
touch
with
the
property
owner
and
get
and
get
some
negotiation
started
and
I.
N
Think
from
what
I
recall,
the
intent
was
for
some
future
use
down
the
road,
but
there's
nothing
set
in
stone
as
of
now
item
5f
is
a
budget
amendment
for
repairs
at
Lake
tomahawk
this
from
wildlands
engineering,
total
amount
of
70
$2,400.
If
you'll
recall
a
couple
of
months
ago,
I
did
present
you
a
contract
and
proposal
from
wildlands.
Excuse
me
from
wildlands
to
do
some
work
at
the
upper
portion
of
the
lake,
where
tomahawk
branch
comes
in
that
for
Bay
and
and
pipe
were
compromised
from
some
rain
events.
N
N
We
do
have
some
intentions
of
doing
a
lake
tomahawk,
sediment
management
plan,
where
we'll
look
at
the
amounts
of
sediments
that
are
coming
in
where
they're
coming
from
put
together
some
some
proposals
and
hopefully
get
some
grant
funding
to
do
some
more
some
more
work
up
there
item
5g
as
a
budget
limit
for
police
vehicles.
In
this
current
year's
budget,
we
only
budget
for
one
vehicle,
Shawn
Freedman
was
able
to
just
to
negotiate.
I
guess
I
would
say
with
the
the
folks
that
are
selling
us,
the
vehicle
Elberton
Dodge.
N
We
are
able
to
get
another
vehicle
for
the
price
of
$20,000.
So
now
we
would
have
two
vehicles
for
the
price
of
about
seventy
one
thousand.
Typically,
those
run
about
51,000
dollars,
so
ten
thousand
dollars
would
come
from
the
general
fund.
Ten
thousand
dollars
will
come
from
the
restricted
ABC
funds
to
fund
that
police
vehicle
so
essentially
about
thirty
thirty-five
thousand
dollars
each
for
those
fully
equipped
for
the
for
the
police
department,
and
that
will
be
your
consent
agenda.
G
A
L
On
the
this
is
dealt,
themself
of
the
public
holds
a
public
service
building
which
the
Hobby
had
settled.
We
had
one
bid,
one
upset
bid.
Nobody
beat
that
upset
bid.
A
jade
lorry
is
entering
into
an
agreement
with
the
town's
going
through
his
due
diligence.
The
contract
anticipated
him
closing
in
January,
and
then
today
we
found
out
his
account
tells
him
he
really
wants
to
close
this
year,
so
we're
pushing
forward
just
be
close
by
the
end
of
the
year.
I've
got
the
surveyor
basic
survey
done
today.
L
As
you
know,
the
town
has
to
reserve
an
easement
for
the
pump
station
and
a
gas
line
to
that
station.
The
survey
came
office
make
sure
on
the
location
of
those
and
within,
depending
on
the
weather.
Tomorrow,
we'll
have
within
a
couple
of
days
the
drawings
see
the
town
if
they
serve
our
purposes.
I
am
satisfactory.
The
bar,
or
not
we're
keeping
and
should
be
moving
on
to
close
them
for
the
end
of
the
year.
N
8A
is
a
this
would
be
a
contract
with
Vickers
consulting
services.
This
is
something
chief
Harris
has
has
brought
to
my
attention.
He's
been
working
with
some
other
fire
departments
in
the
in
the
area.
I
think
three
other
departments,
and
what
this
is
in
front
of
you
is
an
application
in
the
amount
of
their
application
fee
in
the
amount
of
$500
to
go
after
some,
some
grant
funding
for
some
air
packs
for
the
fire
department.
If
we
are
successful
and
getting
this
funding,
we
will
end
up.
N
J
N
N
See
that
an
RFP
for
our
restaurant
over
there
at
the
19th
hole,
Black
Mountain,
Golf
Course,
we
had
due
date
of
November
25th
a
few
weeks
ago.
We
did
receive
two
back
two
responses
back
one
from
the
current
tenant
and
one
from
Karen
Davis,
who
does
have
those
work
down
at
Black,
Mountain
Bistro,
just
going
through
the
RFP
requirements
and
looking
at
both
raposa
'ls
staff
would
recommend
that
the
mayor
and
Board
of
Aldermen
select
Karen
Davis
and
the
name
of
that
would
be
called
the
green
tea
grill
to
start
at
not
the
19th
hole.
N
I
think
that
would
be
the
beginning
of
next
year
is
when
that
would
start.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
she
does
propose
she.
No,
she
gives
us
a
good
resume
and
here
does
propose
her
menu
with
pricing
and
has
is
willing
to
pay
actually
a
little
more
than
what
we've
been
charging
in
in
at
least
per
month
in
the
past,
which
is
actually
willing
to
pay
for
more
dollars.
I'm
off
for
the
lease
instead
of
300
porting
to
her
proposal,
she
would
like
to
have
the
girl
up
and
running
at
latest
by
March
15th.
A
G
N
G
N
Yeah,
this
is
something
we'd
added
and
they
did
the
springing
on
you,
but
it's
kind
of
time-sensitive.
We
were
awarded
some
money
last
year
from
Pigeon
River
fund,
which
we've
gotten
funding
from
before
I
did
pass
out
to
you
a
little
Ariel
photograph,
you'll
notice,
the
the
red
lines
in
the
photo,
it's
kind
of
where
we're
going
to
be
the
restoration
work
on
the
Swannanoa
as
it
meanders
back
behind
the
baseball
diamonds
at
Veterans
Park.
The
the
resolution
is
support
of
going
after
Division
of
Water
Resources
money.
N
We
did
also
receive
$50,000
and
I'll
give
credit
to
that
to
Jessica
with
planning
reaching
out
and
getting
some
money
from
Duke
Energy.
We
got
a
$50,000
grant
from
Duke
Energy
to
help
with
this
project
and
then
another
total
of
33
from
Pigeon
River
and
we're
gonna
be
asking
for
about
seventy
seventy
four
thousand
dollars
from
Division
of
Water
Resources
to
do
this
stream
restoration
work,
and
it's
about
1700
linear
feet
of
work
that
we're
hoping
to
do.
A
L
They
reminded
me
this
is
one
of
those
projects
were
on
spawn,
I
tend
to
forget
about
it,
but
marry
him.
Fellas
might
notice,
marry
him
people
guys
so
that
the
Sims
property
to
the
Appalachian
Conservancy,
if
it's
to
be,
was
to
be
used
as
a
park.
They're,
not
the
park
business
they're
in
the
conservation
for
business,
and
so
they
were
willing
to
turn
that
property
over
to
the
town
to
operate
a
park.
L
So
the
catch
them
to
get
along
here
has
been
that
the
Conservancy
before
they're
comfortable
doing
that
they
want
to
know
that
the
residuary
beneficiaries
of
the
estate
had
no
objection.
What
that
means
is,
if
we
didn't
tell
you
to
the
park,
stayed
in
the
state.
They've
got
so
residual
beneficiaries,
which
was
community
foundation,
a
couple
of
churches,
and
then
division
might
receive
some
money,
but
if
it
stays
is
a
part
they
don't
and-
and
so
we
approached
all
about
release
than
saying
that
that
was
fine.
L
They
would
waive
any
claim
they
might
make,
because
the
town
got
the
property
operation
spark
a
lot
of
time
was
spent
negotiating
the
Community
Foundation,
that's
been,
and
then,
of
course,
over
the
course
of
last
few
months,
we've
worked
over.
It
was
a
most
whomping
for
a
better
access,
but
though
the
Community
Foundation
is
finally
happy
was
released
three
days
ago,
sobbed
it
so
we're
circulating
to
the
other.
Three
residuary
beneficiaries
expect
those
to
be
signed
off
within
a
couple
weeks
so
that
we
can
take
title
to
the
park.
That's
work.
N
Just
give
you
some
reminders:
we
have
our
Sanitation
meeting
this
Thursday
5:30,
twelve,
twelve
and
that'll
just
be
it'll,
be
some
discussions.
I've
got
some
numbers
just
to
kind
of
go
over
and
see
what
direction
we
want
ahead
going
forward
because
we're
gonna
be
coming
up
on
the
end
of
our
current
contract
with

Year's

January.
1St
will
be
closed.
That's
it
for
me
and.
E
I
have
just
one
thing:
to
ask
the
board
to
think
about,
and
perhaps
in
January
maybe
I
might
want
to
ask
about
past
the
board
and
ask
for
a
resolution
of
support.
Maybe
I
haven't,
haven't
decided
and
you
all
may
not
want
to
do
it,
but
you
may
be
aware,
or
maybe
you're,
not
that
Montreat
college
in
the
budget
that's
been,
of
course
you
know
batted
around
back
and
forth
and
bits
and
pieces
of
it
have
been
adopted
and
some
have
not.
E
You
know
it's
in
in
the
budget
was
twenty
million
dollars
to
the
college
and
it
was
to
study
and
and
do
a
feasibility
if
you
will
but
planning
for
a
cyber
security
training
facility
and
the
other
property
in
Black
Mountain.
So
you
know
when
the
budget
didn't
past
past,
various
parts
of
the
budget
did
make
their
way
and
have
been
passed
to
keep
you
keep
state
running
and
then
some
things
have
been
political
and
have
not.
E
They
have
not
been
passed
yet,
as
you
know
well,
and
and
one
of
the
many
budgets,
maybe
that's
what
they're
calling
them
it
was.
It
was
IT
oriented
and
the
twenty
million
was
in
there
and
in
some
of
the
state
institutions
and
I
can
understand
the
perspective.
Well,
somehow
you
know
the
governor
got
it
made
got
to
his
attention
that
the
twenty
million
was
going
to
a
private
institution,
not
a
public
institution
and
the
governor
veto
that
IT
mini
bill
so
and
I
don't
know
and
I
can
understand.
E
Everyone
may
have
their
perspectives
about
public
education,
I'm.
Certainly
a
very
proud
and
thankful
byproduct
of
about
you
know
of
public
education
at
Appalachian,
State
and
I.
Think
most
of
us,
you
know,
are
thankful
for
our
public
education.
So
certainly
I
don't
have
any
issues,
but
with
with
that
argument,
I
understand
it,
but
as
a
as
some
as
a
as
an
elected
part
of
the
member
of
the
elected
leadership
in
Black
Mountain,
it's
that's
pretty
big
deal
for
Black,
Mountain
and
Buncombe,
County
and
so
I.
E
Don't
know
what
they
don't
know
if
I'll
bring
it
back
up
in
January
by
the
way
John
agar
voted.
You
know
he
voted
to
override
the
governor's
veto,
but
it
didn't
get
over.
It
didn't
get
overridden
and
John
did
so
on
the
basis
of
on
the
basis
of
it
being
good
for
his
district
and
for
Buncombe
County,
and
so
it
could
be
that
we
might
mount
that
glass
say
we
there
might
be
an
just
to
just
to
get
local
officials,
local
elected
officials,
to
support
the
project
cuz.
It
certainly
is.
E
Yes,
Angela
does
all
the
work,
but
all
that
work
you're
getting
with
Christmas
parade
together
and
so
forth
for
us
any
right
or
are
part
of
it.
Thank
you
for
that
and
it's
always
an
honor
to
do
that
and
be
with
the
rest
of
the
board
and
the
mayor,
but
also
to
staff
Merry
Christmas,
and
we
appreciate
you
very
much
and
Dean
glad
to
have
you
back.
A
Anyone
else
I'd
like
to
echo
st.
Thomas,
the
Clarion
sales
force
wishing
everyone
their
staff
and
their
the
people
who
work
so
diligently
in
this
town.
Lots
of
things
a
just
a
little
off.
You

lot
of
good
people
to
work
in
this
town.
You

Merry
Christmas

Bob

heart
motion
