As
you
came
in
to
the
building
there,
you
probably
saw
on
the
door
there's
a
flyer
there
for
a
bike
meeting
at
the
carver
center.
That's
tomorrow,
night
from
5
30
to
7
30.
Is
that
correct,
casey,
yeah,
and
so
that
anybody
wishing
that
that
does
biking
or
know
someone
that's
interested
in
biking
and
anything
dealing
with
biking.
Please
come
and
share
your
thoughts,
your
your
ideas
about
how
to
maybe
do
some
trails:
how
to
mark
roads
anything
dealing
with
biking,
5,
30
to
7
30
tomorrow
at
carver.
H
H
We
had
210
runners,
register
and
179
finished
the
event
some
didn't
show
up
and
we
netted
4
392
dollars.
So
that's
up
from
last
year,
I'm
hoping
that
next
year
we
can
do
even
better
than
that.
Just
wanted
to
note
that
a
big
part
of
that
was
that
pisca
brewing
instead
of
charging
us
for
some
of
the
things
they
provided
at
the
venue
they
donated
everything
this
year.
So
so
as
a
thank
you
we'd
like
to
give
everybody
a
t-shirt
and
a
glass
for
iced
tea.
B
Marisol
board
of
aldermen,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name
is
rod
al
and
I
reside
at
136
settings
boulevard
in
black
mountain.
I'm,
the
current
president
of
the
homeowners
association
of
the
settings
of
black
mountain.
I
note
that
tonight
the
town
will
be
reimbursed
for
legal
fees
related
to
litigation
against
the
bond
companies
over
the
settings
infrastructure
bonds.
B
This
is
a
well-earned
milestone
and
long
journey.
From
the
time
the
developer
abandoned
the
project
until
the
bond
funds
were
recovered.
Property
owners
have
been
working
on
a
parallel
track
for
over
three
years
to
plan
the
completion
of
the
remaining
infrastructure
covered
in
part
by
the
bond
revenue.
The
additional
funding
to
bridge
the
difference
between
the
bond
revenue
and
the
total
expected
costs
intended
to
be
covered
by
modest
special
assessment
to
the
members,
as
approved
last
month
by
the
board
of
directors.
B
The
benefits
to
both
parties
are
evident
are
being
conducted
in
an
open
process.
We
appreciate
the
town's
contracting
experience
and
expertise
and
assistance,
which
is
a
major
factor,
ensuring
a
prompt,
fair
and
transparent
bidding
process.
Town's
experience
and
contract
administration
will
help
ensure
complete
and
on-time
delivery.
We
realize
this
effort
has
not
been
without
its
critics
and
opponents.
B
B
A
I
J
I'm
eunice
stackhouse
706
cherokee
avenue.
I
just
have
a
small
request,
a
suggestion
that
would
make
lake
tomahawk
a
lot
safer
for
the
many
people
who
walk
around
the
path
each
day.
I
would
just
like
to
see
a
couple
more
prominent
signs
to
remind
people
of
the
policy
against
bicycles
on
the
walking
path.
J
There
is
one
good,
no
bikes
on
path
sign
at
the
northwest
corner
of
the
lake,
but
this
is
the
only
sign
that
states
that
bikes
are
prohibited
on
the
path
and
it's
really
easily
seen
only
by
people
who
are
walking
or
perhaps
riding
slowly
counterclockwise
around
the
lake.
So
I
have
reason
to
think
that
it's
seen
by
a
few
bikers
and
certainly
very
few
of
their
parents,
I'm
very
sympathetic
with
bikers
needs.
J
J
I
have
not
been
injured
by
a
bicycle,
but
have
had
many
close
calls
over
the
years,
including
an
extremely
scary
one
about
a
month
ago,
when
two
young
bikers
approached
my
husband
and
me
from
behind
at
an
incredible
speed,
leaving
no
possibility
to
swerve
out
of
our
way,
because
where
we
were
at
the
time
it
was
crowded
and
noisy
that
day.
So
we
heard
them
just
barely
in
time
to
jerk
ourselves
out
of
their
path,
with
literally
no
seconds
to
spare.
J
J
There
is
a
reference
to
bikes
on
a
brown
sign
near
the
playground,
but
it's
a
long
list
of
various
park
rules
in
much
smaller
print
and
it
only
prohibits
bikes
from
the
playground
area.
It
says
nothing
about
the
walking
path,
so
I
wouldn't
doubt
that
some
parents
think
that
sending
their
bikers
around
the
path
is
actually
a
way
to
obey
the
playground
policy
and
I'm
quite
certain
that
the
mother
that
was
with
these
two
boys
that
day
was
not
aware
of
the
policy.
J
Of
course
enforcing
the
policy
is
another
matter.
I
realize
that
our
police
officers
don't
have
time
to
sit
around
the
lake
to
catch
bikers
and
I
don't
expect
that.
But
that's
even
more
reason
to
get
some
more
signs
up.
At
least
more
people
would
be
aware
of
the
policy
and
I'm
sure
that
some
would
obey
it,
especially
if
the
parents
see
it.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
K
K
F
Wheeler,
I'm
the
reporter
of
the
charles
d
owen,
ffa
chapter
and
I'm
here
to
inform
you
on
the
progress
of
the
owen.
High
school
barn.
Most
of
the
structural
framework
has
been
completed.
The
next
step
is
to
add
the
side
sheds
and
bracings
for
the
rafters
once
completed.
We
are
to
begin
the
metal,
roofing
and
siding.
I
want
to
give
a
big
special
thanks
to
don
collins
for
all
of
his
assistance
on
this
project.
Without
the
support
of
the
community.
This
barn
could
not
have
been
possible.
L
We'd
also
like
to
note
that
this
year
we
have,
we
are
fortunate
to
have
two
regional
officers,
a
part
of
the
west
region,
chapter
emily
beaver,
who
is
our
president
of
the
west
region
and
sierra
garinger?
Who
is
our
treasurer
for
the
past
five
years,
owen
has
had
at
least
one
regional
officer
and
they've
had
two
regional
officers
for
each
of
the
past
two
years.
L
Also
at
regional
rally.
Over
a
month
ago,
owen
ffa
participated
in
a
regional
rally
against
with
other
20
other
schools
with
them.
We
had
four
teams
that
are
qualified
to
go,
compete
at
the
state
level.
Our
ag
tools
team
placed
second
in
the
region.
Our
nursery
landscape
placed
second
in
the
region.
Our
flora
culture
team
placed
third
in
the
region
and
joining
them
is
our
forestry
team
who
qualified
earlier
this
year.
L
Another
thing
is,
we
have
our
state
convention
and
students
from
owen
will
be
traveling
to
raleigh
this
for
the
nc
ffa
state
convention.
During
this
trip
we
have
four
students
who
will
be
receiving
their
state
degrees,
emily,
beaver,
wyatt,
reese,
jordan,
king
and
sierra
gerringer
owen
is
also
very
proud
to
announce
that
two
students
placed
first
in
the
state
for
their
proficiency
awards.
Laney
everly
for
community
development
and
tyler
pasta
for
vegetable
production.
Both
of
these
students
will
be
will
be
advancing
to
the
national
level.
A
You
girls
have
done
a
wonderful
job.
The
only
thing
I
would
suggest
is
that
when
you
come,
people
come
back
at
the
september
meeting
and
then
make
sure
that
you
end
up
bringing
some
pictures
so
that
we
can
put
up
and
you
would
have
to
get
with
angela,
which
will
be
our
new
clerk
of
the
town
and
she
can
get
it
all
ready
so
that
we
can
show
it
to
the
audience
here
and
be
on
tv
very
good,
very
good.
N
N
N
N
N
N
What
we've
been
doing
as
far
staff?
We
had
a
main
street
conference.
We
attended
ncaa
midwinter
conference,
flood,
plain
annual
conference
building
inspections,
annual
training
for
dan
and
jennifer
green
growth
toolbox
workshop
and
the
swannano
river
stream
cleanup,
which
ended
up
actually
being
just
a
storm
drain
badge
sticker
day.
We
didn't
have
enough
folks
to
do
the
stream
clean
up,
so
we
just
put
down
storm
drain
decals.
N
Planting
board
of
myself,
we've
done
10
text
amendments
to
the
land
use
code,
this
past
six
months,
planning
studies,
the
bicycle
and
pedestrians
are
actually
it's
a
bicycle
study.
That's
really
more
so
under
jill's
realm,
but
I
do
attend
though,
so
that's
why
it's
here,
swanno
river
watershed
restoration
plan.
We
have
selected
a
consultant
for
that.
They've
already
started
work,
equinox
environmental
did
receive
that
project
and
should
start
doing
some
stakeholder
group
meetings
in
the
next
month
or
so
and
just
to
go
back
to
the
bicycle
plan.
N
Cost
of
lake
planning
was
awarded
that
contract
a
while
back
and
they're
well
underway,
and,
as
you
mentioned
mayor,
we've
got
a
meeting
tomorrow
night
in
open
house,
storm
water
mapping,
study
land
of
sky
regional
councils,
helping
us
out
with
that.
We
had
a
storm
water
master
plan
done
in
2009
it
wasn't.
There
were
a
few
things
missing
from
it.
One
in
particular
was
actual
gpsing
of
our
inlets
storm
drains
things
such
as
that.
So
this
is
what
he
has
taken
care
of
right
now.
N
I
think
he's
been
in
the
field,
probably
for
two
two
and
a
half
weeks
and
has
got
he's
captured
over
300
features
already
so
he's
staying
busy.
Our
energy
plan
update
that
I'll
get
to
in
a
couple
of
slides.
It's
not
all
the
way
complete
95,
so
it's
close,
but
I
would
prefer
to
give
you
a
full
roll
out
of
that.
Once
we've
got
it
all
done,
you
can
devote
a
little
more
time
to
it.
N
Outside
meetings
that
that
I
attend
that's
an
npo
tac
meeting,
which
is
our
metropolitan
planning
organization,
technical
advisory
committee
meetings,
asheville,
regional
housing,
commission
quarterly
meetings,
our
steering
committee
for
mount
mobility
and
ncaa
board
of
directors
meeting
so
now
to
the
energy
plan
we
did.
This
in
2009
was
when
the
energy
plan
was
complete
and
I
don't
know
that
we've
kind
of
showcased
anything
that's
been
accomplished
since
then.
So
that's
what
we're
going
to
do
here.
N
N
So
this
is
just
the
graph
from
from
the
update
of
the
energy
plan
carver
center
electric.
You
can
look
back
in
2014
january
to
now.
You
can
see
that
it's
slowly
decreasing.
This
will
be
due
to
the
upgrades
that
we've
made
at
the
carpet
center
with
roof
window.
I
know
we
have
done
windows,
roofs,
insulation
and
lighting.
A
E
N
N
We
still
need
to
replace
windows,
adjust
doors
and
replace
weatherstripping,
and
these
are
not
specific
to
any
building.
This
is
just
across
the
board
replace
flush
valves
with
low
flow
on
the
toilets,
install
sink
aerators,
pretty
simple
stuff:
lower
hot
water,
heater
set
point
to
125
degrees,
replacing
on
demand
whenever
we
need
to
when
one
fails,
add
occupancy
sensors
in
buildings
that
don't
have
don't
have
these
and
replace
an
inappropriately
sized
hvac
systems.
N
We've
also
been
working
on
a
public
gis
website,
so
this
would
be
a
gi
geographic
information
system
website
for
anybody
to
to
use
gain
access
to
kind
of
like
what
buncombe
county
does
now.
But
this
one
would
just
showcase
black
mountain
you'll
be
able
to
access
stuff,
such
as
zoning
destinations,
partial
information,
similar
stuff
that
you
can
on
buckle
county,
but
we
would
just
tailor
it
to
us
and
I'm
gonna.
Take
you
to
website
real
quick,
cannot
locate
the
internet
server.
That's.
N
M
A
On
the,
when
you
do,
would
you
talk
about
your
strategic
energy
plan
up
update?
If
you
could,
you
gave
us
this
here
on
the
on
the
electric?
Yes,
if
you
could
sometime
when
you
get
the
time
in
the
future
there
to
give
us
an
update
on
the
on
the
amount
of
natural
gas
and
the
cost
it'd
be
look
it'd,
be
very
interesting
to
see
just
how
much
that
we've
saved.
A
I
know
that
we
saved
unnatural
gas
purchases,
because
natural
gas
is
cheaper
than
heating
oil,
but
then
also
too
this
coming
winter
as
to
how
the
insulation
has
helped
reduce
that
not
only
there
but
be
like
at
the
fire
department
too
right.
You
know,
because
when
they
went
ahead
and
put
that
new
roof
on,
they
had
to
put
insulation
and.
A
N
E
A
Know
if
you
could
just
maybe
look
into
that
to
see,
because
I
think
that
maybe
in
the
course
then
I
like
the
on
demand-
I
mean
that
certainly
is
cost
a
little
more
to
set
it
up.
But
that's
certainly
the
most
energy
efficient
one
we
have,
and
also
too
that
did
you
you're
the
ones
that
put
on
the
the
window
program
on
may
the
30th.
N
And
we're
working
on
getting
when
our
new
website
rolls
out
we're
working
on
getting
a
lot
of
things
on
their
energy
efficiency.
Related
we've
had
our
intern
work
on
some
stuff.
As
far
as
links
and
sending
folks
to
places,
they
need
to
look
for
how
they
do
efficient
light
bulbs
or
hvac
or
weather
stripping
or
windows
or
whatever
they
might
need
to
do,
and
the.
M
O
M
A
Q
Q
We
thought
we'd
start
off
with
just
a
quick
snapshot.
One
of
our
big
things
right
now
is
youth
gardens
in
the
fall.
We
had
an
after-school
garden
club,
and
this
was
their
harvest
party
in
toward
the
middle
of
november,
and
all
the
kids
and
their
parents
showed
up
and
had
a
fabulous
time,
cooking
and
learning
and
sharing,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
idea
about
that,
and
a
couple
of
them
are
here
with
us
tonight.
P
Q
So
we
want
to
start
off
with
our
youth
gardens.
We
have
a
few
different
areas
that
we
work
with
youth,
one
is
the
after
school
garden
club.
This
is
one
that
has
been
going
on
since
at
least
2007
and
every
year
they've
had
a
handful
of
kids
in
the
fall
and
a
handful
in
the
spring,
and
this
fall
when
I
opened
it
up
expecting
a
handful.
I
had
20
kids
sign
up
from
the
fourth
and
fifth
grades,
which
is
a
great
challenge,
so
we
spent
we
spent
the
fall
out
there
and
the
kids
religiously
came.
Q
Q
And
then
their
snack
is
also
based
on
whatever
it
is,
that
they're
gardening,
so
whether
what
they're
planting
what
they're,
harvesting
and
so
they're
hands-on,
practicing
cooking
and
healthy
ways,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we've
heard
back
from
parents
is
this
is
affecting
the
way
that
their
family
is
eating,
that
they're,
taking
these
recipes
home
that
they're
asking
to
eat
these
things
at
home,
and
so
the
whole
family
is
changing.
It's
changing
to
a
slightly
healthier
way
of
eating.
So
that's
great
another
thing
that
we've
done
is
classroom
helpers.
Q
Q
We
have
a
middle
school
intern
program
that
was
started
by
direct
request
by
our
lovely,
amber.
She
went
through
the
after
school
garden
club
for
two
years
and
all
through
fifth
grade
she
kept
asking.
What
are
you
going
to
do
when
I
get
to
middle
school
and
we've
actually
been
working
with
the
middle
school
staff
to
work
on
their
garden
programs?
P
So
since
2005
I've
been
involved
with
the
dr
john
wilson
community
garden
and
I'm
now
a
town
employee
managing
that
part
time
year
round
and
the
garden
does
a
number
of
things.
It
provides
growing
space
for
over
70
families
in
our
community
and
it
also
provides
meaningful
service
opportunities.
Last
year
we
saw
over
1700
hours
of
service
donated
and
that's
what
I
was
able
to
like
get
people
to
log
in
in
a
log
book.
So
it's
probably
a
lot
more.
P
P
Last
week
we
pulled
300
pounds
of
just
greens
off
of
about
2
000
square
feet,
and
we
had
already
pulled
175
out
the
two
weeks
before
so
we
have
really,
I
mean
we're
pulling
massive
quantities
of
food
out
of
the
garden
out
of
a
small
space.
Each
of
the
gardeners
also
designates
the
first
five
feet
of
their
row
for
donation.
We
call
it
our
10
program
kind
of
in
honor
of
dr
wilson,
because
I
had
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
up
for
the
fact
that
he
wasn't
there
every
day.
P
So
I
had
to
get
70
people
to
make
up
for
him,
so
that
program
grows
around
thousand
one
thousand
pounds
of
produce
annually,
just
off
of
the
first
five
feet
of
all
those
families
beds,
and
then
the
additional
four
thousand
square
feet
grows
around
two
to
three
thousand.
Although
you
know,
numbers
are
going
to
really
change
this
year
because
our
techniques
are
changing.
P
So
the
other
thing
that
we
have
going
on
in
terms
of
community
gardening
in
the
town
is
we
have
the
lake
tomahawk
garden,
which
is
the
original
location
where
dr
wilson
first
started
it
probably
about
20
years
ago
now,
and
we
still
have
about
11
families
that
grow
there
on
lake
tomahawk
and
then
the
other
piece
that
we've
been
working
on
for
the
last
two
years
as
a
garden
at
the
carver
community
center.
There's
a
beautiful
south
facing
site
on
the
backside
of
carver
and
we've.
P
Had
you
know
a
few
folks,
we
double
dug
the
beds.
We've
had
a
few
folks
garden
over
the
years
and
what
we're
really
looking
forward
to
doing
next
is
to
making
that
site
handicap
accessible,
because
it's
a
perfect
site
for
it.
You
can
pull
right
up
to
the
garden
beds
and
we're
looking
to
build
actual
raised
waist-high,
elevated
beds.
Q
So
the
reason
that
we're
here
other
than
just
sharing
this
little
snapshot
is
that
in
the
fall
diana
and
I
presented
to
the
national
recreation
and
parks
association
at
their
national
congress
and
shared
about
what
we're
doing
with
gardening,
the
town
of
black
mountain
we've
actually
had.
People
come
out
here
to
see
what
we're
doing.
Because
of
that
and
talk
about
asset-based
community
development
and
the
idea
that
here
in
black
mountain,
we
really
strive
to
look
at
instead
of
saying
what
are
we
lacking
to
say?
Q
What
is
it
that
we
have,
and
what
can
we
do
with
those
things
we
also
in
the
fall
were
named
a
north
carolina
native
garden
by
the
north
carolina
native
plant
society,
and
they
were
really
excited
because
we're
the
first
garden
that
they've
certified
that
has
jerusalem
artichokes,
which
have
become
very
prolific
in
black
mountain.
Everybody
loves
and
shares
those,
and
it
just
started
with
one
person
doing
it
and
has
become
a
community-wide
thing.
P
P
It's
really
come
a
long
way
and
so
for
plein
air
painters
to
come,
and
you
know
just
not
want
to
leave,
and
some
of
them
have
even
been
coming
back
now
to
paint
at
the
garden.
It's
been
really
cool
and
then
the
garden
is
also
a
member
of
an
alliance
throughout
west
north
carolina
called
gardens
that
give,
and
it's
an
alliance
that
I,
along
with
a
couple
of
other
head
gardeners
from
other
community
gardens
that
grow
food
for
donation,
started
about
four
or
five
years
ago.
P
How
do
you
grow
a
garden,
or
how
do
you
maintain
and
sustain
a
garden
that
gives
we
have
an
amazing
native
garden
that
we've
been
in
partnership
with
lots
of
different
volunteer
groups
that
is
along
the
village
way,
which
runs
between
the
primary
and
the
elementary
school
and
then
finally,
another
recent
accomplishment
we're
in
our
second
year
of
this.
We're
really
excited
about
it.
We
partner
with
bounty
and
seoul
and
bounty
and
seoul
is
an
amazing
partner
for
us.
P
They
are
who
distributes
all
the
food
that
we
grow
and
they
do
nutrition,
education
and
cooking
classes
and
really
get
people
taking
this
food
home
and
eating
it.
Healthily
and
the
other
piece
of
that
that
we've
now
started
doing
is
garden
education,
so
back
in
may
second,
tuesday
of
may
I
went
with
500
plants
and
we
did
a
container
gardening
workshop
and
sent
home
between
5
and
10
plants
with
probably
90
families,
and
then
what
we're
doing
now
is
every
second
tuesday
of
the
month.
P
I
and
other
volunteers
from
the
community
who
are
garden
knowledgeable,
are
going
and
doing
garden
education,
it's
kind
of
a
show-and-tell
opportunity,
so
people
can
come
in
with
their
questions
and
their
problems,
but
also
their
successes
and
their
stories,
and
it
becomes
the
sort
of
round
table
discussion
around
gardening
and
then
the
other
piece
of
it
that
we're
really
excited
about
is
we.
Last
year
we
selected
two
applicants
and
we
expanded
this
year
to
four,
and
we
have
sponsors
in
the
community
that
sponsor
raised
beds
at
people's
homes.
P
And
then
we
get
a
voluntour
mentor
from
the
community
to
mentor
them
and
they're
required
to
give
them
a
weekly
phone
call
and
do
a
monthly
site
visit
to
coach
them
in
the
process
of
learning
how
to
garden
and
how
to
grow
food
for
themselves.
And
it's
a
4x8
square
foot
bed.
And
it's
just
dipping
people's
toes
in
agriculture
and
getting
them
to
feel
that
sense
of
being
able
to
caretake
themselves.
Q
So
a
lot
of
this
is
brought
out
again
by
our
assets
and
the
partnerships
that
make
our
garden
programs
grow
and
dive
thrive.
Diana
and
I
do
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
with
the
little
amount
of
time
that
we
have
and
that's
possible
because
of
all
of
our
assets
and
our
partners-
and
I
know
this
is
a
little
hard
to
see,
but
we
wanted
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
types
of
assets
that
we're
talking
about.
Q
There
are
five
types
of
there
we
go.
There
are
five
types
of
assets
that
we
think
about.
We
think
about
institutions
which
includes
the
town
of
black
mountain
and
the
parks
and
rec
department,
and
all
of
that
warren
wilson
college
is
another
institution,
that's
a
big
one.
For
us.
They
supply
a
lot
of
volunteers
and
expertise
and
ideas,
bounty
and
soul
is
another
one
that
we're
pretty
connected
to.
Q
They
do
so
much
to
help
share,
produce
and
make
sure
that
everyone
who
has
who
has
a
desire
or
a
need
for
food,
has
access
to
that
associations,
like
the
health
initiative
task
force,
it's
another
one
of
those
task
forces
that
you
all
support.
The
local
ecology
includes
the
river
and
the
land
right
there
at
the
garden
at
the
dr
wilson
garden,
in
particular,
the
nearby
horse
farm
for
their
tireless
support
of
the
gardens
and
the
hill
in
the
building,
as
well.
Q
So
we
also
look
at
businesses
and
individuals,
and
these
are
all
the
individual
businesses,
as
well
as
just
the
personal
individuals,
everything
from
the
mentor
that's
working
with
diana
to
revitalize
the
way
that
we
do
gardening
there
at
the
dr
wilson
garden
to
this
fall.
The
after
school
garden
club
wanted
to
plant
bulbs
at
their
garden
to
have
flowers
throughout
the
year,
and
so
they
decorated
a
box
and
nelly
mac.
Q
Let
them
put
it
at
millimax
garden,
shack
and
you
could
go
in
there
and
bring
bulbs
from
home
or
you
could
buy
some
right
there
and
drop
them
in
the
box
and
they
collected
hundreds
of
flower
bulbs
to
fill
their
garden
with,
and
so
every
time
that
we
have
that
we
have
an
idea
or
that
someone
has
a
question.
We
figure
out
a
way
to
do
that
with
the
assets
that
we
have
here
in
town
and
it's
really
a
unique
and
remarkable
place
to
be
able
to
do
these
sorts
of
things.
P
And
this
whole
asset
based
community
development
model
is
actually
a
model.
That's
been
around
for
some
20
years.
It
was
founded
at
the
northwestern
university
or
at
the
institute
there,
and
I
wound
up
being
asked
to
give
a
tedx
talk
if
you're
familiar
with
ted,
it's
an
international
speaking
forum
and
that
talk
about
the
dr
john
wilson,
community
garden
has
actually
gone
international
in
the
asset-based
community
development
institute.
P
Q
And
what
are
these
things
that
exist
in
these
categories,
and
so
we
spent
a
whole
workshop
just
talking
about
those
sharing
a
little
bit
about
what
we
have
to
get
them
thinking,
but
also
to
get
them
thinking
about
their
own
and
clearly
we're
not
going
to
take
all
of
that
amount
of
time
here.
For
you
all.
P
But
it's
that
mindset
that
gets
jill
and
I
so
excited
every
day
to
come
to
work
because
we
live
in
an
incredible
town
with
an
incredible
diversity
of
assets
and
when
you
go
to
work
every
day.
Thinking
of
like
who
am
I
going
to
meet
today
and
what
am
I
going
to
learn
about
them?
It
makes
going
to
work
really
fun.
Q
So
looking
ahead
and
thinking
in
terms
of
our
assets,
there
are
a
couple
of
projects
we
have
in
the
works
right
now.
One
is
that
pentair,
which
used
to
be
taiko
down
on
old,
70.,
they're
working
on
their
green
certification
and
all
of
these
incredible
things
they
have
going
on
there.
One
of
them
is
that
they're
developing
a
community
garden
right
there
that
they
want
to
open
up
to
anyone
who
wants
the
garden
there
and
they're
they're
planning
to
provide
it
free
of
charge
and
to
make
it
just
accessible
to
the
community.
E
Q
They're
partnering
on
some
things
and
we're
just
consulting
with
them
and
saying
hey
this,
isn't
something
that
we're
running
this
isn't
something
that
we
want
to
be
in
charge
of.
This
is
just
something
that
we
want
to
help
make
happen,
because
our
goal
is
so
that
everyone
in
black
mountain
can
walk
our
wheel
to
their
own
garden
space.
Let's.
P
Q
P
Yeah,
the
outdoor
kitchen
and
educational
facilities
so
that
we
can
meet
as
a
community.
I
mean
everyone
knows
when
you
go
to
a
party.
Where
do
you
all
wind
up
in
the
kitchen?
And
we
need
that
at
the
community
garden?
We
need
that
place
where,
when
everyone
gets
done,
working
they're
not
standing
and
they're.
Two
foot
wide
pathways
trying
to
have
a
conversation
but
they're
sitting
down
at
a
table
and
they're
sharing
some
of
their
fresh
produce
together
around
the
table
with
a
meal.
Q
Q
So
with
all
of
that
hopefully
encapsulated
not
too
long.
We
invite
you
to
ask
some
questions.
Take
a
self
tour,
especially
at
the
dr
wilson
garden.
It's
really
easy
to
just
sort
of
walk
through
and
enjoy.
What's
going
on
there,
you
can
also
set
up
a
tour,
we're
happy
to
set
up
a
time
for
you
to
come,
see
the
youth
gardens.
A
I
I
hope
the
community
understands
exactly
what
a
jewel
this
is
in
the
crown
of
black
mountain
and
for
the
town
to
be
able
to
have
two
such
qualified.
Ladies
to
help
this
along
and
to
be
so
creative,
and
especially
with
their
latest
project
of
going
ahead
and
having
a
handicap
garden
so
that
people
in
wheelchairs
can
can
actually
garden.
I
think
that's
just
phenomenal,
so
thank
you.
Girls
continue
on
with
the
good
work.
M
You've
got
the
adoption
of
minutes
from
the
agenda
workshop
and
the
regular
session
in
may
you've
got
a
budget
amendment
for
minor
improvements
to
the
town
square.
Those
are
purchases
of
bricks,
some
signs
that
were
that
were
put
on
the
the
bathrooms
there
and
the
electrical
work
from
the
clock
and
the
kiosk
and
a
christmas
tree
at
christmas
time.
That's
in
the
amount
of
5302.
M
and
25
cents,
and
that
of
course
comes
in
in
the
form
of
a
reimbursement
from
the
greenway
foundation.
If
you'll
recall,
we
we
generally
make
those
make
those
those
expenses
fall
into
town.
We
we
provide
the
expense
for
that
and
then
we
are
reimbursed
back
from
from
the
foundation.
You've
got
a
budget
amendment
for
part-time
golf
operations.
M
This
doesn't
have
any
impact
on
the
bottom
line.
For
golf.
This
is
just
moving
between
two
line
items
between
contracted
services
and
and
moving
at
two
contracted
services
out
of
the
salary
line
item,
because
that
we've
we've
been
using
contracted
services
to
to
offset
or
to
supplement
our
labor
costs
out.
There
you've
got
a
budget
amendment
for
the
swannanoa
river
watershed
restoration
plan.
This
is
just
to
recognize
that
the
plan
actually
is
is
forty
thousand
dollars.
M
This
is
to
recognize
the
first
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
of
that
plan
that
we've
received
a
grant
for
from
the
pigeon
river
fund.
We've
received
an
additional
grant
to
linda
scott
that
actually
goes
through
land
of
sky
to
us,
so
we'll
come
back
with
the
additional
amount
for
that.
So
it's
a
40
000
plan.
This
is
the
first
25
thousand
dollars
that
there's
no
expense
to
the
town.
We
receive
grants
for
both
portions
of
that,
but
it's
in
it's
in
two
forms.
So
this
is
a
25
000
grant
to
start
that
project.
M
We've
got
a
budget
amendment
to
transfer
fifty
thousand
dollars
into
the
into
our
capital
reserve
fund
for
the
future
purchase
of
a
fire
truck
that,
in
addition
to
our
our
budgeted
amount
in
the
upcoming
year
of
75
thousand
dollars,
is
a
total
of
200
000
set
aside
for
the
future
purchase
of
a
fire
truck.
So
I
think
that,
and
so
I
think
those
capital
reserve
funds
have
served
us
well
as
as
in
terms
of
a
budgeting
and
and
fiscal
planning
tool
for
for
future
purchases.
M
You've
got
a
budget
amendment
for
legal
fees
related
to
the
settings.
I
think
you
had
heard
that
mentioned
earlier,
but
the,
but
as
of
course
the
infrastructure
bond
has
been,
has
been
released
and
it's
in
a
an
account
for
the
town,
and
we
have
an
expense
for
that
around
71
thousand
dollars,
and
so
those
are
being
reimbursed
back
to
the
town
out
of
those
out
of
those
out
of
those
proceeds.
You've
got
a
budget
amendment
for
engineering
related
to
the
settings.
M
For
that
project,
that,
as
the
the
scope
of
services
came
back
for
that,
it's
actually
around
thirty
one
thousand
dollars
to
do
that-
that
that
again
will
come
out
of
the
infrastructure
proceed
or
the
bond
proceeds,
but
we
need
to
to
add
an
additional
six
thousand
dollars
for
that
for
that
fund,
and
then
you've
got
a
call
for
public
hearing
to
reorganize
the
housing
commission
and
assign
the
duties
to
the
planning
board.
We
discussed
this
at
the
agenda
session
and
discussed
this
a
little
bit
over
time.
M
M
I
know
the
nana
is
moving
off
the
housing
commission
and
a
couple
of
moving
off
the
housing
commission,
and
it
just
appears
that
in
terms
of
meeting
the
needs
that
the
housing
commission
provides,
it
generally
goes
through
the
planning
board
anyway
and
then
to
the
and
then
to
the
board
of
aldermen.
So
a
couple
of
members
of
the
housing
commission
are
now
on,
or
at
least
one
member
of
the
housing
commission
is
now
on
the
planning
board
and
one
member
of
the
house
mission
has
applied
to
be
on
the
planning
board.
M
So
I
think
you
still
have
those
same
expertise
on
the
planning
board.
They
can
set
it
up
as
a
committee
of
the
planning
board
and
meet
that
same
meet
that
same
that
same
mission
and
vision
of
the
housing
commission
without
having
an
extra
layer
of
meeting
set
up
for
a
different
commission.
So
we
would
ask
you
to
call
for
a
public
hearing
to
to
amend
our
code
of
ordinances
and
amend
our
land
use
code
to
reflect
that,
and
that
is
the.
That
is
the
consent
item
that
you
have
on
your
agenda
tonight.
K
K
K
M
K
A
K
They
will,
I
just
need,
I
just
needed
some
clarification
on
who
was
recommending
this
and
the
cost
of
it
is
fourteen
to
eighteen
thousand
dollars
and
you
have
as
the
funding
source,
the
parks
and
greenway
foundation
and
the
funding
source
for
all
the
money
that
was
raised
for
the
town
square
project.
Any
future
cost
for
the
town
square
project
is
held
and
is
collected
and
expended
by
the
black
mountain
parks
and
greenways
inc.
There
are
two
separate
entities.
K
You
do
understand
that,
don't
you
there's
the
foundation
and
there's
the
park
and
greenways
inc,
and
the
sole
incorporator
of
that
corporation
is
mr
john
dewitt,
who
is
also
the
holder
of
the
101
000
left
that
was
raised
from
the
town
square,
fundraising
project.
That
is
why
I
am
requesting
that
you
make
this
motion
to
freeze
all
accounts,
all
spending
all
reimbursements.
K
S
Thank
you,
mayor
board
of
aldermen,
I'm
jesse
gardner,
I'm
with
civil
design
concepts.
I'll,
be
the
project
engineer
here
for
montreat
college
tonight
with
me.
I
have
athletic
director
coach,
jose
larios
cfo
of
montreal,
call
it
jack
conning
and
then
representing
the
developer
and
turf
manufacturer
for
this
new
complex.
That's
proposed
tonight
is
mike
kashay
with
sports
field
engineering
up
on
the
board,
and
I
think
each
of
you
sort
of
have
a
handout
just
to
give
you
I
want
to
give
you
a
little
update
of
the
existing
piece.
I
think.
S
S
You
can
see
a
black
mountain
town
wreck
park
there,
sort
of
to
the
southwest
of
us
lake
tomahawk
branch,
sort
of
splits,
bifurcates
the
89
acres.
On
the
east
side.
You
have
vance
avenue
that
dead
ends
into
the
existing
in
the
oaks
connector
greenway
to
the
south
of
our
property
and
then
I-40
directly
to
the
south
of
our
property,
as
you
just
sort
of
look
at
the
existing
conditions.
What
we're
here
today
for
you
can
sort
of
see
the
manor
house
there
in
the
middle
sort
of
hidden
wooded.
S
S
S
That
was
a
part
of
the
master
plan
that
was
called
the
villages
at
montreal.
Approximately
156
bedroom
dormitory
housing
project.
That's
not
under
consideration
tonight.
That's
we!
That's
still
a
part
of
the
master
plan.
I
just
wanted
to
show
its
place
holder
and
how
it
relates
to
to
the
project
here
and
flip.
S
So
basically,
the
zoning
has
some
general
parameters,
but
the
overlying
zoning
is
done
by
a
master
plan.
The
villages
was
part
of
that
master
plan
that
was
brought
in
front
of
this
group
and
the
planning
board
back
in
2011,
and
it's
showing
I've
left
it
just
showing,
as
is
we're
here
tonight,
because
according
to
the
zoning
code,
if
you
reorient
or
relocate
athletic
facility,
that's
considered
a
major
modification
and
part
of
that
process
is
bringing
it
back
to
in
front
of
the
board
tonight.
So
here
in
front
of
you
is
the
proposed
plan.
S
The
school.
The
sports
complex
consists
of
a
new,
state-of-the-art
turf,
soccer
and
lacrosse
field,
a
400
meter
track
around
that
field
and
due
to
the
addition
of
the
track,
the
orientation
had
to
shift.
Now
you
see
that
it's
facing
more
east-west
part
of
that
as
we
fit
the
new
track
and
complex
in
we
encroached
onto
the
existing
softball
field,
and
so
we're
also
having
to
relocate
the
existing
softball
field
down
there
just
a
little
to
the
north
and
east.
S
We
plan
also
to
improve
the
little
parking
areas:
gravel
rebuild
some
of
the
gravel
parking
areas,
we're
going
to
construct
a
public
bathroom
facility,
so
athletes
and
spectators
have
restroom
facilities
on
site
and
other
parts
of
requirements
with
developing
within
town
of
black
mountain
we've
provided
areas
for
storm
water
controls,
rain,
gardens
and
shot
the
area.
The
little
circle
there
to
the
south
eastern
corner.
That's
the
existing
town!
S
Well,
we've
made
sure
to
maintain
our
buffer
required
buffer
buffer
to
the
existing
town
well
and
actually
are
pulling
some
of
the
existing
softball
field
out
outside
of
that
well
well.
Buffer.
The
yellow
area
that
follows
vance
avenue
is
something
we've
worked
with
josh,
given
we
are
adjacent
to
a
to
basically
a
connector
between
in
the
oaks
and
the
sort
of
ingles
dog
park.
Greenway,
this
area
is
highlighted
as
a
future
pedestrian
greenway
route.
S
We
we've
saved
extra
20
feet
outside
of
vance
avenue
that
a
property
to
be
dedicated
to
the
town
of
black
mountain
for
future
use
of
connection
of
those
greenways.
Pretty
simple
from
you
know
this.
This
revision
to
the
master
plan
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
and
that
sort
of
completes
my
presentation-
and
we
also,
if
you
have
any
questions
regarding
the
make
and
material
of
the
sports
fields
or
anything
with
montreal,
would
be
glad
to
answer
those
questions
for
them.
R
S
S
Before
yeah,
so
the
master
plan
is
sort
of
covers
our
zoning
permit
typical
typical
process
with
any
development
town
of
black
mountain.
We,
the
town
reviews,
a
grading,
permit
and
a
storm
water
permit.
We
also
get
another
review
by
buncombe
county
for
a
grading
permit
because
of
the
disturbances
of
our
one
acre.
We
have
a
water
permit
that
the
town
reviews
locally,
but
then
also
forwards
to
raleigh
for
a
water
line
extension,
and
then
we
also
get
a
msd
review
to
extend
public
sewer
to
serve
the
bathroom
facility.
So
so.
S
M
And
I'll
be
glad
to
you've
got
a
you've
got,
of
course,
a
the
proposal
in
your
agenda
package,
and
basically
this
is
a
this
is
a
sidewalk
and
maybe
jesse
or
somebody
else
can
comment
if
there's
if
there's
additional
questions,
but
this
is
a
sidewalk
that
comes
from
the
lower
parking
lot
with
a
handicap.
We've
got
two
spaces
down
there
and
a
handicapped
van
space
and
a
handicap
parking
space.
This
will
bring
a
sidewalk
up
from
there.
You
can
see
along
there
connecting
up
to
the
sidewalk.
That's
at
the
bathrooms.
M
It
has
a
section
of
stairs
it's
kind
of
a
winding
sidewalk
to
meet
ada
compliance
regulations,
and
so
there's
a
section
of
stairs
that
kind
of
connect
through
there.
If
somebody,
I
think,
just
an
anticipation
of
people
cutting
through
there
and
some
landscaping
that
goes
with
it
in
a
pad
under
the
rocking
chairs
that
are
there
now.
So
that's
that's
the
proposal.
I
think
the
and
again
as
you're
aware
the
the
way
we
generally
have
done.
A
C
A
A
A
A
A
A
C
U
R
A
A
A
A
E
A
A
A
U
A
A
A
A
N
Okay,
so
you
have
the
the
amendment
in
front
of
you,
which
is
underlying
and
bold
I'll,
read
kind
of
the
summary
of
the
need
for
this
due
to
lots
and
developments.
There
were
pre-existing
before
the
enactment
of
our
erosion
prevention
and
slope
protection
ordinance.
Many
of
the
lots
would
not
be
able
to
conform
to
the
standards
required
for
the
minimum
lot
size,
which
would
leave
many
lots.
Unbuildable
proposed
amendment
would
allow
for
existing
lots
to
be
exempt
from
the
lot
size
requirement
only
still
have
to
conform
to
all
their
standards.
N
N
I'll
read
the
ol
I'll
just
read
existing
when
I
get
to
know
you
I'll
just
say
new,
I
guess
any
portion
of
the
lot
parcel
or
attractive
language
has
been
approved
by
the
planning
department
or
planning
board
as
a
major
or
minor
subdivision,
or
special
use
permit,
prior
to
the
adoption
of
this
section
or
developed
prior
to
the
adoption
of
this
section.
This
is
the
new
part
or
any
lot
pre-existing
before
the
adoption
of
the
section
shall
not
be
subject
to
the
minimum
lot
size
requirements.
As
stated
in
this
chapter.
M
Is
it
fair
to
say
then
josh
that
that
we're
not
changing
any
of
our
erosion
control
and
slope
requirements?
All
we're
doing
is
is
allowing
what
what
what
seemed
to
be
a
a
conflict
in
in
the
wording
in
the
intent
anyway,
which
is
that
we're
allowing
development
to
occur
but
you're
going
to
meet
you're
going
to
meet
the
requirements.
If
you
have
obviously,
depending
on
what
your
slope
is.
F
F
N
What
this
does
is
clear
that
up
and
allow
people
to
build
on
lots
that
they
own
that
are
pre-existing
with
this
ordinance
as
long
as
they
meet
the
other
requirements
besides
the
middle
class
size,
because
if
you've
got
certain
amounts
of
excuse
me,
if
you
have
a
certain
amount
of
slope,
let's
just-
and
this
is
for
example,
if
you've
got
let's
say
40
slope-
our
ordinance
may
require
you
to
have
three
acres
to
build
on.
So
if
you've
got
less
than
three
acres,
you
can't
build
on
that
piece
of
property.
R
N
M
Yeah,
okay,
so
that
that's
a
good
point
too,
is
that
it's
not
including
lots
that
are
subdivided
because
then
they're
going
to
then
they're
going
to
meet
all
the
requirements.
All
this
is
saying
is
existing,
because,
what's
that
what's
happening,
is
we
either
have
to
decide
whether
we're
just
going
to
tell
people?
But
you
can't.
M
Because
because
you
don't
have
you,
don't
have
the
acreage
or
we're
going
to
say,
look
if
you
can
meet
the
requirements
of
the
of
our
of
the
rules
that
we
already
have
in
place,
which
was
which
our
understanding
was.
That
was
the
intention.
Anyway,
it
was
to
put
erosion
control
requirements
in
place.
People
could
develop
safely
on
their
property
and
just
the
worrying
of
it
did
not.
A
A
A
M
Just
a
just
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
quick
things,
I
would
I
don't
know
if
you,
if
you
saw
this
the,
but
the
police
chief
has
been
sending
around
an
email,
they
hope
everybody
sees,
but
we
were
ranked
as
the
number
nine
safest
city
in
in
north
carolina.
I
think
we
should.
We
should
pat
ourselves
on
the
back.
M
M
Last
meeting
we're
gonna
miss
her
greatly
she's
she's
served
here.
She's
gonna,
she's
gonna,
retire
at
the
end
of
the
month
and
move
closer
to
her
family
in
hendersonville.
We
wish
her
nothing
but
the
best,
and
we
love
her
dearly
and-
and
I
just
want
to
say
that-
and
I
want
to
welcome
angela
reese,
who
is
here
that
we
have
some
overlap
so
that
so
that
she
can
learn
the
duties
that
darlene
has
carried
out
so
well.
M
For
the
last
few
years
and
we're
and
and
so
angela's
here
she's
a
native
of
haywood
county,
she
has
her
master's
degree
from
western
carolina
and
and
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
her
on
board
too.
So
I
I
know
that
that
ever
that
you
all
have
all
have
met
her,
but
I
do
want
to
let
the
public
know
that
angela
will
be
here
and
that
darlene
will
also
be
greatly
missed.
Thank
you,
darlene.
A
A
U
A
couple
of
years
ago
I
had
an
opportunity
to
sit
at
this
podium
and
cast
a
vote,
and
that
vote
was
for
the
town
square
and
it
was
myself
mayor
sobel.
It
was
alderman
sobel
at
the
time,
london
john
brown
and
I
voted
for
that
town
square,
because
I
saw
the
potential
in
it
that
we
had
in
this
town
for
something
really
really
nice,
and
since
we
made
that
vote
since
that
happened,
the
town
scares
town,
square's
competition.
U
It
is
a
showplace
in
this
county.
It
is
something
that
we
are
all
to
be
very
proud
of.
I
know
that
everybody
did
not
agree
with
the
town
square,
but
it
is
there.
A
lot
of
people
put
hard
effort,
time,
money,
dedication,
known
donors,
anonymous
donors,
current
and
former
town
square
town
staff,
who
work
really
really
hard
for
that
square.
U
I've
said
this
before
we
need
to
move
on
whether
you
agree
with
it,
whether
you
disagree
with
it
it's
time
for
us
to
move
on
and,
of
course,
to
be
appreciative
of
what
we
have
I
have
talked
with
john
dewitt.
I
have
talked
with
dean
luby.
I
have
talked
with
don
collins.
I
am
satisfied
with
where
we
are,
as
far
as
monetary
values
go
on
the
square,
how
it's
being
funded,
how
it's
being
pursued,
how
things
are
being
paid
for?
R
T
Yes,
I
would
like,
first
of
all
to
say
how
inspired
I
am
in
this
town
by
the
volunteers.
The
volunteers
in
this
town
make
our
town
the
quality
that
it
is.
We
would
not
have
nearly
what
we
have
without
the
volunteers
that
we
have.
So
thank
you
to
all
the
people
that
applied
for
board
appointings
tonight
and
if
you
applied
and
and
didn't
get
voted
on,
keep
applying.
T
A
C
If
I
can
yeah
heard
these
young
ladies
come
in
from
the
ffa
they're
building
a
barn
down
there
next
to
owen
high
school,
and
it's
been
done
all
with
volunteers,
they're
they've
got
a
two-story,
it's
got
a
hay
loft
and
we've
had
contractors
come
down
and
volunteer
their
time,
but
there's
been
a
whole
lot.
More.
C
That's
been
done
at
that
barn
that
has
been
non-contractors
just
people
who
are
willing
to
grab
a
hammer
and
drive
some
nails
and
that
down.
There
is
an
example
of
what
this
community
is
all
about,
and
I
just
want
to
put
a
plug
plug-in
for
those
guys
and
if,
as
anybody's
got
time
to
to
work
on
on
the
owen,
high
school,
barn,
the
ffa
barn
and
I
think,
we've
we've
seen
by
the
the
community
garden.
