Pray
together,
heavenly
father,
we
thank
you
for
a
beautiful
day,
as
you
bless
us
with
we.
Thank
you
for
the
blessings
of
life
and
health.
We
thank
you
for
the
men
and
women
gathered
in
this
room.
We
thank
you
for
this
town.
I
pray
lord
your
blessings
on
each
of
them
as
they
lead.
Lord,
we
pray
for
your
wisdom
and
your
guidance
in
each
decision.
We
pray
for
the
safety
of
those
who
work
and
live
and
visit
this
town
and
lord.
C

Whereas
this
year
the
town
of
black
mountain
will
observe
the
annual
spring
cleanup
on
saturday
april,
27
2013
9
a.m
until
noon,
starting
at
the
town
square.
Therefore,
I
carl
bartlett
mayor
of
the
town
of
black
mountain
to
hereby
proclaim
april
13th
through
april
27,
2013
at
spring
litter
sweep
time
in
our
town.
We
encourage
all
citizens
to
take
an
active
role
by
participating
in
making
our
community
cleaner
and
more
beautiful.
A
Next
proclamation
is
child
abuse
prevention
month
april
2013,
whereas
the
problem
of
child
abuse
and
neglect
affects
many
of
our
children
and
has
reached
epidemic
proportions.
With
over
5
million
children
reported
as
abused
neglected
every
year
in
the
u.s
over
125
000
in
north
carolina
and
3985
in
buckingham
county
last
year.

Sorry.
If
some
of
my
ideas
sound
a
little
bit
left
wing
or
something,
but
they
I
come
to
him
from
a
social
justice
perspective
and
father
matt
tells
me
if
you're
going
to
stand
for
peace
and
justice,
you
have
to
take
the
blows,
so
I'm
ready
for
anybody
to
say
we
can't
afford
your
ideas.
D
D
I
think
it's
a
human
right
that
if
we
have
a
gas
pipeline
in
this
town
that
should
extend
to
everybody
in
town,
not
the
privileged
few,
and
I
think
we
should
whether
it
takes
a
petition
or
what
we
should
just
set
it
up,
that
everybody
gets
natural
gas
coming
by
their
house,
so
they
can
sign
up
for
it.
That'll
cut
the
home
heating
bill
from
two
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
seven
hundred
dollars
a
year,
and
people
in
poverty
don't
have
two
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
oil
or
propane
to
eat
homes.
B
Thank
you,
mayor
and
board.
I've
put
a
packet
in
front
of
all
of
you.
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
brief
update
about.
What's
going
on
with
the
town
square,
you
may
have
noticed
that
within
the
past
week,
the
fragment
of
wall
that
was
left
standing
at
the
west
end
of
the
property
has
been
taken
down,
as
well
as
the
wood
fence
along
the
sidewalk
and
the
old
light
pole.
Additional
soil
has
been
brought
in
to
bring
the
surface
up
to
sidewalk
level,
so
people
can
now
safely
walk
into
the
space
without
any
hindrance.
B
The
next
steps
are
to
plant
additional
grass,
which
I
guess
was
done
today
and
a
possible
flower
bed
in
time
for
some
early
blossoms.
We
also
have
two
park
benches
to
put
on
that
end,
so
that
people
have
a
place
to
sit
and
contemplate
the
beautiful
springtime
views
in
the
last
report
delivered
during
the
january
meeting,
I
mentioned
several
grants
we
have
applied
to
receive
the
largest
of
those
was
through
the
tourism
development
association,
though
we
made
it
through
their
initial
cut,
their
board
decided
not
to
fund
the
project
this
year.
B
Our
fundraising
efforts
so
far
have
reached
the
public
phase.
According
to
the
plan
that
we
have
in
place
now,
I'm
wearing
a
sticker
here
that
says,
are
you
square?
You
may
have
seen
some
of
that
around
town
and
I'll
get
into
that
just
a
little
bit
down
the
road
here,
you
may
have
seen
the
black
mountain
news
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
that
the
third
grade
class
of
the
black
mountain
primary
school
won
the
popcorn
party
for
the
most
collections
in
the
penny
for
the
square
campaign.
B
First,
grader
mary
margaret
hurt
one
to
draw
what
you
want
to
see
in
your
town
square
contest
and
if
you
look
at
your
packet,
you'll
see
a
copy
of
her
drawing
in
there.
It's
great
her
winning
entry
is
attached
to
your
packet.
So
far,
the
campaign
has
collected
four
hundred
dollars
for
the
square
and
there
are
more
schools
to
go
in
this
process.
B
This
week
will
feature
a
much
larger
spread
in
the
news,
with
the
official
launch
of
the
buy
brick
and
sponsor
feature
campaign.
That's
also
part
of
the
ru
square
process.
You
may
have
noticed
posters
around
town
that
ask:
are
you
square?
We
have
another
website,
www
dot,
r?
U
square
dot
com!
That's
the
letter,
r,
the
letter?
U
and
square
dot
com
where
people
can
purchase
bricks
online
as
well
as
sponsor
features.
B
We
believe
that
this
part
of
the
fundraising
will
engage
the
most
residents
and
will
constitute
a
large
part
of
the
funding
for
the
project
so
far
with
little
advertisement,
over
three
thousand
dollars
have
been
raised
in
brick
sales
alone.
Finally,
major
local
companies
have
come
forward
to
express
their
desire
to
be
involved
in
the
project.
So
far,
we
have
a
commitment
from
one
to
supply
gravel
necessary
to
construct
the
parking
lot,
as
well
as
the
parking
along
state
street.
B
Another
company
is
interested
in
working
with
us
toward
paving
the
parking
areas
and
also
concrete
for
the
sidewalks.
This
is
consistent
with
the
vision
the
committee
has
had
from
the
beginning
in
which
the
town
works
together
to
see
the
space
become
a
wonderful,
lasting
legacy
in
black
mountain.
Thank
you.
F
So
that's
white
styrofoam,
whether
it's
sheets,
molded,
material
or
peanuts,
no
food
service
remove
any
tape
paper
and
glue,
no
grease
or
grime.
But
dust
is
fine
and
it
must
be
dry.
We're
also
collecting
other
kinds
of
packaging,
such
as
bubble,
wrap,
foam,
sheeting
paper,
and
these
items
must
be
clean
and
shy.
F
F
One
exception
is
what,
if
you
have
very
large
pieces
of
styrofoam,
which
often
come
in
large
with
large
items-
and
you
know,
if
they're
so
big-
that
it
would
take
two
or
three
to
fill
a
bag.
You
don't
need
to
bag.
Those
items
rainbow
recycling
promotes
reuse,
it's
actually
a
higher
priority
than
recycling.
F
So
any
artists,
galleries,
shops,
ebay,
sellers.
Anybody
who
may
be
moving
is
welcome
to
pick
up
whatever
packaging
material
they
would
like
on
a
first
come
first
serve
basis
during
the
event
hours
rainbow.
Recycling
is
also
collecting
small
appliances-
that's
toasters,
coffee
makers,
microwaves,
vacuum
cleaners,
fans,
space
heaters,
we
get
those
recycled
and
that
helps
fund
our
different
efforts.
So
you
look
for
the
big
white
truck
it'll,
be
at
the
front
end
of
the
parking
lot
and
again.
F
But
I'd
also
like
to
mention
that
those
are
our
efforts,
the
parks
and
rec
recreation
and
parks
department.
It
has
arranged
to
have
electronics
and
computer
recycling.
Also,
at
this
event
and
casey
connor
can
tell
you
more
and
just
a
quick
heads
up
the
next
east
bank,
hard
to
recycle
collection
will
be
in
july
and
we
hope
to
have
it
every
year
in
july.
Thank
you.
F
F
H
Coming
to
talk
to
you
about
a
couple
things
today
during
the
day,
I'm
a
consultant
in
the
pharmaceutical
world.
At
night,
I
hang
out
at
the
black
mountain
mail
house,
we've
been
in
business
a
little
over
two
and
a
half
years,
maybe
not
quite
two
and
a
half
years.
We've
just
recently
started
an
art
and
restaurant
association.
H
H
I
recently
received,
as
owner
of
the
l
house,
a
letter
from
the
parks
and
recs
asking
me
to
help
sponsor
the
park
rhythms
program
throughout
the
summer,
which
I
think
is
a
wonderful
program.
I
also
think
that
it
could
pay
for
itself
if
we
had
some
common
sense
policies
in
place
that
it
will
allow
for
beer
and
wine
to
be
sold
there.
We
have
over
60
beer
and
wine
licenses
in
town.
E
E
So
it's
about
5
500
in
bricks,
and
this
we
thank
the
settings
publicly
for
their
generous
contribution
just
to
make
people
aware
this
is
the
postcard
that
every
resident
in
black
mountain
should
get
or
has
gotten
in
the
last
two
weeks,
we're
mailing
out
another
thousand
this
week.
This
is
the
postcard
rusquare.com
gives
a
little
bit
of
the
history
of
the
of
the
square.
It
gives
the
concert
dates.
The
may
4th
being
the
first
concert
on
the
square
and
then
on
the
back
front
side
or
the
back
side.
E
So
please
look
at
it
and
fill
it
out
and
mail
it
or
drop
it
off
your
town
hall
and
we'll
pick
it
up.
Also,
these
brochures
are
all
over
town.
These
are
more
information.
It
gives
an
example
of
of
what
the
town
square
is
going
to
be
again
on
the
back.
You
can
do
up
to
eight
lines
of
different
sizes
of
bricks,
they're
all
over
town.
E
So
we
encourage
you
to
pick
one
of
these
up
and
mail
them
or
drop
them
off
and
we'll
be
glad
to
pick
them
up
and
do
that,
because
this
is
now
our
major
fundraising
effort
for
the
next
three
months
that
we
should
have
so
we
thank
you
all.
We
hope
all
of
you
will
wear
one
of
these
you've
seen
the
thing
I
am
square,
please
be
square,
be
a
square
supporter
of
the
black
mountain
town
square
and
thank
you
all
for
your
tremendous
support
on
this
project.
I
Thank
you
very
much
mayor,
bartlett,
alderman,
bill,
mcguire,
200th,
street
wonderful
town
of
black
county
is
that
mine,
as
the
mayor
read.
First,
thank
you
all
for
recognizing
child
abuse
prevention
month.
It's
all
about
increasing
awareness
of
child
abuse
of
prevention
of
treatment.
It's
all
about
increasing
reporting
of
child
abuse
and
demonstrating
a
community
commitment
to
protecting
all
children.
D
J
I
I
The
numbers
are
terrible
staggering,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
good
things
going
on
too
a
couple
of
things
coming
up
friday,
this
friday
april
12th
blue,
ribbon
night
at
the
tourist
will
be
handing
out
blue
ribbons
at
the
gate
and
going
out
on
the
field
pinning
a
big
blue
ribbon
little
person
doing
that
on
teddy
tourists
before
the
game
april,
17
6
p.m,
united
way,
building
in
downtown
asheville
the
film
searching
for
angela
shelton.
This
is
a
pretty
neat
documentary
film,
angela
shelton's,
a
nashville
native,
a
mother
joanne,
still
lives
here.
I
I
I
K
The
exercise
classes
have
continued
to
be
very
popular
averaging
about
10
participants,
the
lunch
site,
we're
averaging
21,
we're
keeping
our
numbers
up
really.
Well
there
a
couple
new
classes
that
they've
offered
a
guided
meditation
class
and
a
qigong
class
we've
also
had
a
free
computer
class
for
the
seniors.
It
was
an
intro
to
skype
and
facebook.
K
K
K
The
special
events
we
had
the
halloween
carnival
back
on
october,
the
27th
we
had
about
450
attendees
for
that
it
was
packed
at
the
carver
center.
We
had
circle
of
lights
after
the
holiday
parade
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
estimate
about
500
attendees
for
that
the
valentine
5k
race.
We
had
175
participants
in
the
5k
race
and
we
had
about
30
participants
in
the
fun
run:
the
easter
egg
hunt.
However,
we
experienced
some
pretty
bad
weather
for
our
easter
egg
hunt
this
year,
and
so
our
numbers
were
down.
K
K
And
for
our
athletics,
we
had
119
participants
in
the
youth
basketball
program,
109
participants
in
the
youth
indoor
soccer
program,
adult
basketball.
We
had
a
record
13
teams
participate
in
our
adult
basketball
program.
Last
fall.
We
had
12
teams
in
the
adult
co-ed
softball
and
in
the
start,
smart
basketball.
We
had
16
participants,
the
start.
Smart
basketball
is
the
ages
three
to
five
years
that
that
play
before
the
and
it's
more
of
a
practice,
oriented
type
of
thing
than
than
actual
games.
K
And
then
to
our
community
garden
this
year
we
have
60
gardeners,
we
kind
of
reconfigured
some
of
the
plots
there,
so
the
numbers
a
bit
lower
than
last
year,
but
they're
using
the
same
amount
of
space.
We
have
more
gardeners
using
full
plots
than
half
plots
that
we
had
last
year.
We
do
still
have
nine
people
on
the
waiting
list.
K
K
K
That
is
a
series
of
trails
that
kids
can
go
out
and
explore
the
trails
there's
pamphlets
to
accompany
them
on
the
on
the
trail,
exploration
and
they're
encouraged
to
do
multiple
trails
and
they
are
sent
kind
of
little
things
along
the
way,
the
more
trails
they
do.
They
get
patches
and
and
toys,
and
things
like
that.

A

This
is

that
was
over

sessions.
There.

We're

weeks
of
summer
camps
this
summer,
it's
based
out
of
the
carver
center
and
they
do
little
day
trips
around
black

and
visit
the
black

I
have
two
letters
here
that
come
to
me
in
the
last,
since
we
last
met
that's
in
regard
to
the
parks
and
rec.
First
one
is
dear
mayor
bartlett.
Last
week
we
were
two
of
the
fortunate
seniors
to
travel
with
dana
stone
to
savannah
saint
simons,
jackal,
island,
paris,
island
and
beaufort.
The
trip
sponsored
by
the
lakeview
senior
center
was
well
organized,
cost,
effective
and
fun.
It
doesn't
seem
possible
that
we
took
that
we
took
in
all
these
places
in
three
days
and
we're
already
planning
to
revisit
the
area.
A
We
appreciate
the
frequent
stops
on
the
travel
days,
having
an
opportunity
to
select
our
own
lunch
being
used
and
returning
to
town
exactly
on
schedule.
We
look
forward
to
the
next
trip.
Diana
was
sensitive
to
those
who
needed
assistance,
as
did
our
bus
driver
bill.
It
was
surprising
to
learn
that
this
was
dana's.
First
tour.
Lakeview
center
is
fortunate
to
have
her
leadership.
We
appreciate
what
lakeview
center
has
to
offer
seniors
in
this
community
sincerely
margaret
neville
and
gene
gettys.
A
Next
one
is
dear
mayor
bartlett,
my
friend
catherine
cabell,
and
I
recently
enjoyed
the
five-day
bus
tour.
The
savannah
sponsored
by
black
mountains,
recreation
parks,
it
was
a
wonderful
adventure,
so
well
planned
and
executed.
We'd
like
to
commend
diana
stone,
the
recreation
program
supervisor
for
a
kind
attention
to
keeping
us
all
happy
and
comfortable
her
ability
to
attend.
The
special
needs
of
the
group
was
remarkable.
She
kept
us
safe,
warm
and
content,
as
well
as
keeping
us
on
time
for
each
departure.
She
always
seems
to
be
good,
natured
and
calm.
A
M
Our
work
orders
completed
streets
and
parks,
completed
1879
work
orders
for
the
past
eight
months,
water
was
1333
with
36
leaks,
our
cutoff
connections
was
534,
sanitation,
82
and
our
work
order
total
for
the
eight
months
was
3294
our
water
system.
On
our
usage,
we
used
a
little
over
103
million
gallons
being
427
000
gallons
a
day.
Our
water
loss
is
a
little
over
27
percent
at
166,
000
gallons
a
day
on
our
water
system
projects,
our
gis,
gps
mapping,
we've
got
the
water
lines.
M
M
Also
we
had
liquid
engineering
coming
in
inspect
all
the
tanks
for
this
year
and
they
all
turned
out
really
good,
no
defaults.
Anything
like
that.
So
it'll
be
about
six
to
eight
years
before
we
have
to
do
that
again
on
our
refurbishment
and
probably
next
three
four
years
on
inspections
again
so
we're
good
there
carolina
heights
water
pressure
assessment,
that's
moving
along
really
good.
We
should
be
moving
along
we're
actually
going
to
start
doing
some
digging
within
the
next
week
or
so
and
and
try
to
have
something
done
by
about
june.
M
We
got
the
permits
and
stuff
and
okay
back
from
the
state
on
that
we're
gonna,
do
part
of
the
work
in-house
and
try
to
bid
out
what
we
can't
do,
which
would
be
installing
two
hydrants
and
some
release
valves
and
do
some
work
on
norfolk.
Holley
avenue
put
two
six
inch
isolating
valves
in
things
of
that
nature,
so
we're
really
looking
good
there.
We
hope
that
turns
out
good
our
hydra
testing.
We
got
completed.
We've
done
137
my
high
school
306
black
mountain
14
in
laurel
ridge
got
that
completed
within
them
months.
G
M
Exactly
there's
actually
low
pressure
in
that
area,
and
it's
been
that
way
for
years,
and
it's
really
needed
to
be
addressed
and
we're
hoping
with
the
engineering
we
got
and
the
staff
we
got
that
it
is
actually
supposed
to
boost
a
lot
of
pressure
to
at
least
600
residents
is
what
we're
hoping
and
so
we've
already
sent
the
letters
out
telling
them.
If
you
know
if
they
need
pressure,
reducers
things
of
that
nature,
they
need
to
go
ahead
and
get
those
installed.
M
M
We
started
on
zone
one
and
it
is
already
from
I'm
glad
to
say
it
is
already
complete.
Not
only
did
the
guys
get
the
storm
water
ditching,
but
we
went
ahead
and
trimmed
the
right
ways.
While
we
was
in
that
zone
too.
So
that's
complete,
we'll
start
on
zone
two
on
storm
drain,
repairs
and
replacement.
We
had
several
of
them.
We
had
several
culvert
replacements.
Julian
drive
gatchell
mount
allen
heights.
M
M
I
really
can't
give
you
a
number
considering
the
winter
we
had.
Mother
nature
was
nice
to
us
in
one
way
in
wintertime
and
terrible
in
another.
We
had
several
several
trees
to
remove
due
to
storm
damage
and
then,
of
course,
we
had
several
removed.
It
was
just
a
safety
issue
and,
speaking
of
the
storm
damage
and
stuff,
I'd
like
to
thank
both
chief
padgett
and
chief
jones
for
helping
us
out
there's
a
big
help
and
in
the
removal,
trees
and
traffic
control
trimming
the
right-of-ways.
M
We
finished
that
up
the
last
of
the
summer
months,
our
winter
preparations.
We
really
didn't,
have
no
changes
to
winter
preparations.
As
far
as
rolling
stocks.
That's
two
years,
we've
really
saved
a
lot
of
money
and
we've
not
used
no
chains
cutting
edges,
bolts,
anything
to
do
with
plow
maintenance.
M
We,
the
only
monies
we
spent,
was
fourteen
hundred
dollars,
and
that
was
just
to
restock
material,
salt
and
sand.
So
we
come
out
really
good
on
that
end.
For
this
winter
street
stripping
we
had
budgeted
for
this
year.
Jls
is
well,
I'm
overthinking
myself,
the
streets
dropping
this
year
that
we
done.
We
got
all
the
crosswalks
loading
zones,
handicapped
areas,
parking
spaces,
public
safety.
We
still
got
some
of
the
the
parks,
parking,
lots
and
stuff
to
do
for
this
year,
but
we
got
a
lot
of
that
stuff.
M
M
We
actually
sealed
it
where
it
wouldn't
leak,
redone
the
walking
path
behind
it
all
the
way
out
to
highway
nine,
put
geomatton
down
re-graveled
it
where
the
grass
can't
grow
back
and
be
easier
maintenance
to
take
care
of
our
asphalt
patch
and
curbing
up
till
november.
We
put
out
52
tons
of
asphalt.
We
got
that
completed
for
last
year.
Street
sign
maintenance.
We
replaced
75
regulatory
signs,
bring
them
up
the
code
made
them
reflective,
got
rid
of
a
lot
of
the
old
painted
signs
on
our
part.
M
M
We
under-brushed
the
island.
Of
course,
we
asked
all
the
walking
path
to
the
tennis
court.
Re-Striped
parking
lots
installed
new
door
and
lake
view
center,
replaced
the
filter
pump
in
the
pool
new
mountain
in
the
pool
house
repaired
picnic
shed
at
spillway
and,
of
course,
we've
done.
Our
normal
trail
maintenance,
grey,
eagle,
we'd,
grab
a
parking
lot
put
down.
Crossties
landscape
sow
grass
and
build
a
walking
trail
down
to
the
community
garden.
M
Of
course,
we've
done
the
geo
matin
and
the
pea
gravel
again,
where
it'd
be
less
maintenance
carver
center.
We
insulated
all
the
pipes
in
the
main
hallways
installed.
Two
new
water
fountains
wreck
park
this.
This
is
something
that
I'm
very
proud
of,
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
guys
on
that.
They
worked
very
hard
on
during
the
storm
damage.
M
M
M
We
repaired
the
software
goals,
replaced
damaged
fence
and
at
the
art
center
we
re-tiled
in
the
elevator
floors
repaired
emergency
lighting
that
wouldn't
work
and
repaired
bathroom
fixtures
that
had
gone
bad.
Of
course,
our
greenway
is
mowing
wheat
eating
routine
maintenance
and,
of
course,
we
replaced
several
trash
cans
without
new
trash
cans
finished.
Our
first
ink
mowing
was
completed
for
the
end
of
the
year.
M
Christmas
decorations
was
installed
and
removed,
along
with
the
flags
for
veterans
day
fourth
of
july
memorial
day
and
all
of
our
locations
was
winterized
whale
heads,
pools,
community
garden,
rec
park,
greg
monument
places
like
that
administrative
projects
asphalt,
overlays
I'd
like
to
thank
also
mount
pave
and
terry
coates.
They
they
got
our
lowest
bids
last
year
and
we
got
hunting
lodge
and
circle
lane.
Repave
they've
done
a
really
good
job
on
our
sidewalk
replacement
repairs,
like
I
think,
candle,
concrete
and
dale
robinson
they've
done
a
really
good
job.
M
We
got
the
lowest
beds
and
we
got
a
lot
of
sidewalk
replaced.
It
needed
needed
repair
instead
of
repair
it
got
replaced.
We
worked
out
a
deal
where,
if
we
used
our
trucks
and
got
rid
of
the
concrete,
it
saved
us
about
four
thousand
dollars
and
we
got
four
thousand
dollars
more
lineal
footage
of
sidewalk
put
in
so
that
worked
out
really
good.
We
got
in
front
of
the
primary
school
us
70
at
oley,
guacamoles,
richardson,
boulevard,
vance
avenue,
black
mountain
avenue
and
charlotte
street.
M
So
we
got
a
lot
done
there
and
it
turned
out
really
good.
They
done
a
great
job
and
our
street
stripe
and
we
had
budgeted
to
get
several
37th
street
street
strip
within
this
year.
Tommy
hart
jls
he's
going
to
complete
that
force
within
this
budget
year.
Now
that
it's
warm,
they
should
be
starting
on
that
montreat
road
sidewalk.
M
We
got
the
construction
documents
back.
I'd
like
to
thank
ann
at
ron,
snead's
office.
She's
done
a
really
good
job,
we're
getting
the
easement
plants
she
actually
mailed
it
to
the
hoa
and
that
guy's
received
it.
I've
got
to
set
up
a
meeting
with
him
and
jesse
gardner
tomorrow
and
go
with
construction
documents.
Then
we
get
the
easement
flat
sign
and
seal
and
then
we'll
be
building
sidewalk
and
something
I'd
like
to
throw
in
on
this.
M
That's
that's
good
news
is
we
met
with
d.o.t
me
and
matt,
jesse
and
and
and
a
couple
from
d.o.t
chad
bandy
our
next
phase
of
sidewalk
that
we're
going
to
put
in,
of
course,
all
the
way
to
the
gate.
D.O.T
may
have
a
requirement
for
us
to
put
in
curb
and
gutter
which
of
course,
is
a
lot
more
expensive
that
could
take
a
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
job
to
over
a
million
dollar
job.
But
here's
the
good
part.
M
So
if
that
works
out,
that
will
be
great
and
we
can
move
right
onto
the
gate,
maybe
and
get
a
lot
more
lineal
footage
done,
considering
how
it
turns
out.
So
we
hope
that
turns
out
good
news
on
the
safe
routes
to
schools,
geo
edwards,
really
she's,
the
one
that
really
took
over
this
project.
She's
done
a
great
job
with
that,
and
so
I
give
hats
off
to
her.
She's
she's
really
worked
hard
on
this
project.
I
need
to
be
going
out
to
bed
tomorrow,
it'll
run
about
three
weeks.
M
M
Mike
callaway,
with
dot
you
probably
working
over
because
it
being
a
grant,
it's
it's
really
strategic
stuff,
and
it's
really
documented
very
well
and
he'll
probably
be
overseeing
the
materials
and
the
time
that
goes
into
it.
So
look
forward
to
getting
that
one
done
on
the
two
dams:
emergency
action
plan.
With
arma
core
engineer,
we
we
received
the
eap,
it's
not
the
final
eap,
so
we're
still
waiting
on
that.
M
As
soon
as
we
get
daddy
to
go
to
the
state
and
then
the
state
will
tell
us
what
we
will
need
to
do
on
the
dams
of
lake
tomahawk
and
our
watershed
as
far
as
there's
any
construction
to
take
place.
So
we're
still
waiting
on
that
on
state
street
service
line
replacement,
there's
several
service
lines
that
come
off
of
our
water
lines,
down
state
street
that
need
to
be
replaced
because
there's
still
lead
lines,
there's
probably
35
to
40.
M
So
sometime
within
this
summer,
we'll
we'll
try
to
start
replacing
them
because,
according
to
dot,
if
it
works
out,
maybe
next
year
in
the
budget
year,
they
will
be
repaving
through
state
street.
We
hope
if
it
don't
get
trump
during
the
budget
process,
but
that's
what
we're
looking
at
on
that
to
replace
that.
But
any
questions
on
anything
the.
A
M
So
I
I
got
faith
in
them
that
they're
gonna
do
good
on
that,
and
we
got
a
new
employee
that
that
field
of
a
slot.
We
had
jared
mcintosh
and
he's
a
young
guy
he's
a
he's.
A
good
guy
he's
a
asset
to
the
town
too,
he's
a
he's.
A
good
operator
he's
got
a
lot
of
knowledge
and
he's
been
doing
a
really
good
job,
and
I
just
I
really
look
forward
to
where
the
department's
going
and
my
big
thanks
customer
service.
M
A
M
L
M
Really
on
board
and
really
want
to
do
good
things
for
this
town
and
I'd
just
like
to
thank
all
them
and
maggie
crow
and
them
with
the
beautification
committee.
She
got
with
d.o.t
and
me
and
her
got
with
them
and
and
they're
planning
on
redoing,
where
you
come
off
on
the
highway
9
off
of
40
down
here
it
was
looking
pretty
bad
and
they're
planning
on
coming
in
and
redoing
that
and
making
it
more
presentable
and
spending
some
money
on
it.
N
Sir,
you've
got
the
minutes
from
a
february
28th
through
march
7th
and
your
march
11
meetings
and
you've
got
a
resolution
to
maintain
and
support
funding
for
the
parks
and
rec
trust
fund,
which
is
the
what
we
call
a
part
f
grant
a
funding
source
that
we
used,
for
example,
to
to
fund
the
pool
at
for
our
pool
a
few
years
ago,
and
so
it's
just
a
resolution
supporting
maintaining
that
funding
level
for
the
parks
and
rec
trust
fund,
which
is
at
risk
of
being
reduced
significantly.
This
year's
budget.
A
O
My
name
is
dick
kennedy.
I
live
at
43
fates
overlooked
loop
in
black
mountain
I've
addressed
you
a
couple
times
before
regarding
things
issues
for
the
settings
of
black
mountain
and
you're
about
to
deal
with
one
more
issue,
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
quick
kind
of
overview.
We
feel
fortunate
to
be
in
the
town
of
black
mountain.
We
get
very
good
relations
with
the
town
staff
and
we've
worked
well
with
aldermen.
O
You
may
recall
me
in
the
past
explaining
that
we
had
a
system
installed
that
wasn't
complete
for
our
water
system
and
we
had
to
manually
turn
pumps
on
and
off
and
that
sort
of
thing
through
working
with
land
works,
engineering
and
marty
cocot
who's
here
with
us
tonight.
That
system
is
now
completed.
O
All
of
the
different
components
of
the
system
talk
to
each
other.
The
automation
works,
pumps
go
on
and
off
automatically,
and
so
that's
why
it's
on
your
agenda
tonight
we're
ready
to
move
ahead
with
it.
Henry
judy
is
also
with
me
he's
on
our
legal
committee
and
he's
worked
with
ron
snead
in
preparing
some
of
the
documentation
for
this.
O
So
we're
prepared
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
on
that
topic
when
you
get
to
it
and
just
one
other
thing
to
mention,
I
think,
partly
because
of
some
of
the
success
we've
had
together,
we
have
four
homes
under
construction
in
the
settings
two
or
three
more
in
the
planning
process,
so
things
are
looking
up
for
us.
We
appreciate
it.
How.
O
Think
by
the
time
these
four
finish,
that'll
be
about
20
and
instead
of
two
or
three
more,
we
started
before
this
summer's
over,
but
we
have
270
property
owners
and
when
the
association
represents
all
of
them
and
they'll
have
an
interest
in
the
future
of
the
community
in
that
town
is
anything
else.
You
want
to
ask
me
before
we
go
on.
P
As
board
is
familiar
with,
and
we
annex
the
the
the
settings
part
of
the
annexation
ordinance
is
provided
the
point
where
their
water
systems
were
up
and
running
and
complete
certified
the
town
would
take
over
the
systems.
That
would
be
a
period
where
you,
you
approve
the
system
to
take
note
of
the
system
and
for
a
year
they
do
all
the
repairs
they
warrant
their
work.
P
When
that
year
is
passed,
town
takes
over
and
maintains
the
system,
it's
still
a
little
bifurcated,
even
with
completion
of
it.
If
you
adopt
the
resolution,
that's
for
you
today,
you'll
approve
taking
over
the
water
system
for
the
next
year.
You
won't
see
much
difference
because
the
settings
and
the
trial
period
or
test
period
will
run
the
water
system
at
least
maintain
the
water
system
once
the
town
takes
it
over.
The
town
will,
under
the
resolution,
will
maintain
everything
but
who
owns
what
and
who
pays
for
what
will
still
be
separated.
P
The
town
will
have
their
meters,
of
course,
and
maintain
the
lines
the
town
will
also
be
responsible
for
maintaining
pumps,
telemetry
equipment
and
tanks
with
the
ultimate
expense
of
those
major
items
follows
the
association.
They
will
keep
a
fund
in
place
if
we
have
to
make
repair.
One
of
those
replace
one
of
those
into
perpetuity
is
the
association
will
be
reimburse
the
town
for
that
in
your
packet.
You
have
the
certifications
required
at
this
point
where
the
engineer
or
the
the
company
that
build
it
is
you
have
their
certification,
that's
tk
utilities
and
marticop.
P
The
engineer
has
certified
that
you
have
a
system
that's
built,
essentially,
as
designed
is
ready
to
run
the
action
for
you
tonight
is
the
adoption
of
the
resolution.
That's
in
your
packet
that
would
prove
take
over
the
system,
we'll
step
back
one
notch
on
that.
As
you
all
know,
part
of
phase
three
is
not
complete,
not
built,
and
not
in
so
this
is
where,
as
it
was
contemplated
years
ago,
that
would
be
all
built,
and
then
the
town
would
take
it
over.
P
Q
G
Yes,
mr
kokod,
he
would
probably
have
to
answer
this
question.
Just
I'm
a
little
confused
dear
to
where
it
says
on
one
of
the
bullet
points.
The
water
system
constructed
by
the
developer
will
be
designed
to
no
less
than
20
pounds
of
pressure
for
each
develop
a
lot
in
all
the
phases.
Next
bullet
point
says
that
the
town
shot
under
any
obligation,
modifier
improves
so
as
to
provide
any
more
than
20
pounds
of
pressure.
R
Well
again,
that
was
drafted
quite
some
time
ago
back
when
the
settings
of
black
mountain
development
company
was
working
on
that
it
is
a
state
requirement
that
you
provide
a
minimum
20
psi
at
the
property
line
for
pressure
the
danger
there
is.
We
don't
want
to
modify
the
system
where
you're
trying
to
increase
the
pressure
to
some
of
the
upper
zone
or
higher
elevation
lots
and
then
overburden
lots
that
are
further
down
the
hill,
with,
of
course,
gravity
would
increase
the
pressure
and
their
lines
would
have
too
much
pressure.
So
there's
the
danger
there.
L
R
G
The
main
question
I've
got,
though,
is
that
when
you
start
looking
at
phase
three,
which
is
way
up
the
mountain
you
know
and
that
in
that
you're
looking
at
that
for
every
foot
in
elevation,
you're
going
to
lose
a
half
a
pound
of
pressure,
so
that
it's
your
system,
then
that
is
going
to
have
the
automation
that
is
going
to
be
able
to
keep
lower
pressure
on
the
bottom
lines,
but
yet
provide
pressure
for
somebody.
That's
four
five
hundred
feet
up
stage.
N
R
R
G
P
R
The
water
lines
have
a
very
long,
useful
life.
The
water
meters
is
something
you
own
and
maintain
currently
the
pumps,
tanks,
communications
control
panels,
all
of
those
pertinences
are
taken
care
of
or
paid
for
by
the
settings
hoa,
but
state
law
mandates
that
the
settings
can't
be
in
the
water
business.
So
black
mountain
has
to
have
that
maintenance
responsibility,
but
ultimately
the
settings
hoa
reimburses
for
any
equipment
purchases
related
to
those
apartments.
It's
poems
tanks,
communicating.
P
A
O
O
N
Yes,
sir,
that's
a
this
is
a
a
resolution
to
to
convey
a
portion
of
property
at
the
golf
course
at
8,
811,
hiawassee
avenue,
they're,
making
improvements
to
their
property,
and
this
there's
a
there's,
a
property
line,
just
not
a
dispute,
but
between
the
way
the
county
has
has
has
lined
up
their
property
and
the
way
their
surveyor
shows
their
property.
They
don't
meet
setback
requirements
of
where
their
house
sits.
They
have
for
years
anticipated.
This
was
their
property.
They
maintained
this
section
as
their
property.
N
It's
about
five
one
hundredths
of
a
of
a
of
an
acre,
the
pro
what
they
would
like
to
do.
Then.
What
they
request
then,
is
that
we
basically
surplus
this
portion,
they've
they've
paid
for
the
survey
and
had
it
surveyed
they
would
surplus
this
portion
to
the
surplus.
This
the
town
would
surplus
this
portion.
We
they
would
make
an
offer
they've
offered
500
for
that
that
piece.
We
would
then
publicize
that
and
and
accept
upset
bids
for
that
piece
of
property.
N
I
think
for
10
days
is,
that
is
that
right
run
for
10
days,
and
if
not,
then
we
you
would
basically
accept
their
accept
their
offer
that
they
made.
I
mean
it
would
adjust
the
property
line
to
to
accommodate
their
improvements,
and
so
they
can
meet
their
setback
requirements
for
improvements
on
their
property,
and
I
would
just
add
too,
that
we've
had
we've
talked
to
all
the
folks
in
the
golf
course.
It's
it's
not
a
section
of
golf
course
that
anybody
actually
anticipated
for
golf
play.
N
The
golf
course
had
actually
assumed
that
it
was
their
piece
of
property
they
had
assumed.
It
was
their
piece
of
property
until
they
had
a
survey
done,
they
didn't
realize
they
didn't
actually
meet
setback
requirements.
It's
important
to
get
this
done
just
so
they
can
get
a
so
they
can
meet
our
requirements
and
get
the
proper
permits
and
make
the
improvements
to
their
property.
N
You,
yes,
you
see
your
next
item.
Alderman
sobel
had
requested
to
be
added
at
the
at
the
agenda
meeting.
What
this
basically
does
is
authorizes
the
town
to
to
enter
a
contract
with
high
country
surveyors
to
survey
the
potential
route
around
the
railway
trestle
in
norfolk
southern,
so
that
we
can
begin
the
process
of
establishing
where
the
greenway
can
the
route
a
future
route
for
the
greenway.
At
that
section,
we
you
would
have
to
have
that.
N
N
A
G
A
There's
a
motion
to
open
this
public
hearing
during
discussion,
all
right
all
in
favor,
say
aye
what
we'll
come
back
to
all
in
favor,
say:
aye,
aye,
okay,
this
time
we'll
have
a
public
hearing
in
regard
to
this
in
his
citizen
comments
at
this
time.
In
regard
to
this
text,
amendment
on
abandoned
nuisance
and
junk
vehicles.
N
Would
you
like
me
to
give
us
a
brief
overview
of
what
of
what
what's
involved
in
that?
What
what
we
basically
have
done,
our
our
existing
ordinance
and
everybody
should
have
a
copy
of
the
entire
ordinance
in
front
of
them.
Now
defines
junk
abandoned
nuisance
vehicles
we
use
general
statute.
160-303
is
the
way
we
define
those
we
needed.
Basically,
our
ordinance
is
not
consistent
with
the
state
general
statutes.
Q
B
N
And
it's
either
it's
partially
dismounted
erect
or
it
cannot
be
self-propelled
or
moved
in
the
manner
in
which
it
originally
was
intended
to
move
it
meets
those
one
of
if
it
doesn't
have
a
tag
it
meets
one
of
those
two
requirements.
Am
I
correct?
It
meets
one
of
those
two
requirements
it
would.
It
would
meet
our
definition
of
a
joke
vehicle.
Yes,
sir.
Q
It
hasn't
moved
for
six
months,
the
terms
that
you
have
on
the
nuisance
vehicles
I'm
in
complete
agreement
on,
but
I
personally
have
some
some
heartburn
over
the
distinguishing
what
is
junked
or
a
junk
vehicle
and
nuisance
vehicles,
and
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
we
we
send
this
back
to
the
planning
board
and
distinguish
a
little
bit
better.
What
is
the
difference
between
between
the
two.
N
The
only
thing
that
I
would
add
to
that,
I
think
when
we
had
our
discussion
last
week,
part
of
it
was
what
what
could
somebody
do
if
they?
If
we,
if
they
said
you
have
a
junk
vehicle
yeah,
and
I
didn't-
I
didn't
know
that
I
didn't-
I
went
back
through
the
ordinance
to
see
you
know
we.
Can.
The
ordinance
now
provides
that
you
can
cover
it
or
move
it
to
your
rear
yard,
where
it's
not
publicly
visible.
Q
And
I
understand,
but
I
just
brings
up
another
issue:
if
you've
got
a
corner
lot,
you
can't
put
it
in
the
backyard
because
you've
got
a
road
by
this.
That's
going
beside
that
corner
lot.
Also
it.
It
makes
certain
lots
a
little
bit
more
harder
to
comply
with
this
ordinance
than
what
a
normal
street
lot
is.
Then
it's
got
houses.
You
know
up
down
the
street,
but
in
the
backyard
one
that
is,
is
okay
on
those
type
of
houses
in
a
corner
lot.
It's
not!
Q
Tell
me
what
a
junk
vehicle
is
I
want
it
to
be.
I
mean
you
get
the
impression
junk
vehicle.
I
want
it
to
be
a
junk
vehicle
that
there's
you
know
if
it's
beaten
tore
up,
the
windows
are
out
of
it.
It
falls
into
the
nuisance
category,
complete
agreement
with
all
that,
if
it's
a
health
hazard
complete
agreement,
but
if
it's
a
vintage
type
car
and
it's
not
registered
or
tagged,
and
yet
it's
sitting
there
just
like
90
percent
99.9
percent
of
the
cars
are
in
this
town,
but
they
just
move
back
and
forth.
G
G
But
you
know
the
the
fact
and
in
the
way
that
that
we're
letting
some
people
define
a
junk
car
is
now
you're
getting
into
some
different
esoteric
areas.
You're
talking
you
know,
maybe
somebody
could
very
well
have
modern
art
in
there
in
the
yard,
and
some
people
may
think
that
that's
just,
but
we
don't
have
any
ordinance
against
that.
G
So
you
know
when
you
begin
to
look
at
these
things
that
it
it
if
I
want
to
keep
four
or
five
washing
machines
in
my
front
yard,
with
it,
with
with
a
posie
coming
out
of
them.
There's
there's
there's
no
law
against
against
that,
and
that
probably
looks
worse
than
an
old
and
an
old
car.
So
I'd
like
to
request
too
that
we
send
this
back
and
let
them
let
them
work
work
on
that
a
little
bit
more.
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
too
restrictive.
P
That
back
up
a
little
bit
on
history
and
we're
getting
more
of
it
now
than
we
had
a
while
ago,
but
quite
often
the
towns
can
only
do
such
things
as
the
legislature
allows
and
that's
what's
called
an
enabling
statute.
160
a
303
order
is
in
which
they
say.
Then
a
couple
situation
gives
the
municipalities
the
authority
to
control
abandoned
and
junk
vehicles
now
keep
in
mind,
there's
two
different
animals
and
it
says,
and
it
sets
out
definitions
as
to
what
junk
vehicles
are
under
the
statute.
P
You've
got
a
little
room
to
tinker
with
those
definitions,
but
I'm
making
notes
over
here
is
the
other
alternate
speaking,
although
they
may
send
it
back
to
planning
commission.
My
job
is
going
to
be.
How
far
can
we
go?
Tinkering
with
those
definitions
and
the
options
may
ultimately
be
that
we
can't
tinker
and
we
take
the
take
what
they
give
us.
So
we
don't
get
any.
P
But
that's
the
question
I'm
putting
down,
but
that
statute
is
the
enabling
statute
and
defines
junk
vehicle
and
our
definition,
what
they've
basically
done
when
it
came
to
you
this
time
there
are
three
parts
under
in
the
statute,
one
that
the
triggering
event
is
has
no
tag
and
then,
if
it
has
no
tag
that
you
look
to
see,
is
it
really
jumped
and
you're
as
you
think
of
it?
You
know
it's
beat
up,
it's
wrecked
it's
trash.
P
Second,
is
it
won't
run
as
it's
intended
to
run
under
its
own
power
and
the
third
is
and
you
have
choices,
but
it's
a
vehicle.
That's
worth,
you
know
less
than
500
and
I've
got
a
feeling
that
the
reason
I
don't
know
this
for
a
fact.
The
planning
board
probably
struck
that,
because
the
legislature
didn't
say
you
could
make
that
under
a
thousand
dollars
and
it's
kind
of
a
useless
definition
right
now,
with
a
process
crap
metal,
you
can
have
some
real
junk
sitting
in
your
yard.
It's
gonna
be
worth
500.
S
One
of
my
points
was
that
ron
has
already
made,
and
that
is
that
they,
the
second
time
that
they
have
done
this.
They
worked
on
it
a
year
ago.
Wasn't
it
and
they
didn't
at
that
time,
bring
the
language
into
line
with
the
state
statute,
but
they
have
now.
The
other
thing
was
don.
If
you
want
to
get
that
rolls
royce
sitting
in
your
yard,
you
can
leave
it
in
your
yard.
If
you
put
a
cover
on
it.
That
was
one
of
the
conditions.
A
Q
N
That's
right,
the
only
thing
I
would
say
is
that
you
should
anticipate
in
a
couple
of
weeks
that
we'll
start
our
budget
workshop
dean
and
I
have
been
working
on
that.
We'll
have
some
some
numbers
finalizing.
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
heads
up,
we'll
be
sitting
darling,
we'll
be
sending
out
requests
to
set
up
some
set
up
some
times
for
some
budget
workshops
and
look
at
the
budget,
but
they'll
come
in
here.
Q
Yes,
sir,
I
would
on
tom's
report
that
gill's
report
that
he
gave
to
us.
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
the
the
the
folk
county
board
of
commissioners
voted
7-0
to
grant
us
the
money
to
to
build
the
the
bathrooms
on
the
town
square,
but
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that
ellen
frost
led
that
charge
from
day
one
she's,
the
one
who
wanted
to
come
and
sit
with
the
the
steering
committee
and
see
what
was
going
on.
