Thank
you
for
this
honor.
If
you'd
all
bow
your
heads,
Heavenly
Father,
we
come
before
you
and
we
bow
our
hearts
father
that
you
have
been
intimately
involved
in
the
affairs
of
men
and
that
we
look
to
you
for
guidance.
We
look
to
you
for
discernment.
I
would
pray
Heavenly
Father
that
as
each
member
of
the
board
of
aldermen
and
the
mayor
father
as
we
go
about
the
affairs
of
men
that
we
look
to
the
example
of
Nehemiah
that
he
could
not
rebuild
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
without
the
help
of
those
around
him.
D
Yeah,
I
would
just
request
that
you
will
add
the
hope.
Everybody
has
a
set
yet
replace
a
resolution
to
support
the
black
mountain
center
for
the
arts,
monarch,
/,
pauline
or
program,
and
put
that
into
note
in
your
new
business.
I
think
the
mayor
might
have
a
few
words
to
say
about
it,
but
I
know
we're
having
a
presentation
tonight
from
hammond.
We
did
not
add
a
resolution
as
part
of
the
agenda
but
I.
If,
if
the
board
will
make
a
motion
to
do
that,
we
could
add
that
to
be
doing
under
new
business.
A
E
I'm
Becky
Jane's
I
live
at
75
tucker
road
in
ridgecrest.
I
serve
on
the
greenways
commission
for
the
town,
black
mountain
and
I'm.
Also
the
race
director
for
the
Black
Mountain
Greenway
challenge,
5k
10k,
Road
race
that
is
being
held
on
april,
eleventh,
starts
and
ends
at
pisgah
brewing,
and
I
just
want
to
invite
everyone
here
to
either
come
out
and
volunteer
or
run
like
someone
is
going
to
run
or
help
us
recruit
sponsors
from
local
businesses
to
help
us
run
this
event.
E
This
is
a
fundraiser
and
a
friend
raiser
for
the
greenways
of
Black
Mountain
I'm,
also
here,
to
give
you
my
personal
experience
of
the
greenways
I'm,
actually
in
training
for
a
half
marathon.
First
time,
I've
ever
tried
to
do
that
so
I'm
spending
a
lot
of
time
on
the
greenways
and
they're
amazing
I
can't
believe
the
number
of
people,
the
ages
of
the
people,
bikes,
kids,
learn
how
to
ride
bike.
Strollers
dogs,
people
walking
to
work.
It
really
is
amazing.
E
The
scope
of
people
that
are
using
the
greenways
and
the
other
thing
that
I'm
noticing
is.
You
know
we
go
up
and
down
I-40
and
we
see
the
mountains
every
day.
We
see
them
and
see
them.
We
see
them.
You
get
out
on
the
greenways,
you
look
at
them
in
a
completely
different
way,
and
I
really
encourage
you
to
do
that,
especially
in
the
community
garden
and
Riverwalk
greenways.
You
can
get
beautiful
view
of
high
windy
and
then
you
get
over
on
the
other
side,
see
all
the
Seven
Sisters.
E
It's
it's
really
different
when
you're
on
the
ground
and
looking
up
at
them.
I'm
also
here
to
appreciate
the
work
of
the
Board
of
Aldermen.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
recent
decisions.
I
can't
begin
to
imagine
how
hard
it
is
to
take
what
money
is
available
in
our
town
and
get
it
going
in
the
right
places
to
try
to
serve
the
people.
I
know
these
are
really
tough
decisions
and
for
me
personally,
it
means
a
lot.
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
F
Maryland's
Vance
case
speaking
as
a
resident
this
time,
516
Laurel,
Avenue
and
I'd
like
to
echo
what
Becky
said
and
just
to
say
that
while
the
warm
weather
brought
everybody
out
and
if
you
were
on
the
greenways
this
weekend,
you
really
saw
them.
It
was
amazing.
I
couldn't
believe
the
the
excitement
of
people
just
to
be
out.
F
Well,
that
was
believable,
but
the
number
of
people
who
are
out
I
would
happen
to
be
out
on
the
black,
the
community
garden
green
way
and
in
the
oaks
and
there
by
the
Rick
park
and
like
Becky
said
I
mean
there
were
people
with
strollers
and
dogs
and
bikes
the
frisbee
golf
players.
The
disc
golf
were
out
in
mass,
it
was
amazing,
almost
had
to
watch
for
them
flying
over
your
head.
F
It
was
something
else,
and
even
when
you
were
to
go
to
get
across
going
underneath
I
40,
you
almost
had
to
wait
in
the
line
to
allow
people
come
from
the
other
direction.
I
mean
the
place
was
really
swarming
and
it
was
exciting.
So
this
is
just
to
say.
If
you
haven't
experienced
the
greenways,
please
go
check
them
out
and
I,
encourage
the
board
on
a
lovely
day,
go
out
and
see
for
yourself
how
much
they're
being
used
and
thank
you
for
your
work
to
for
us
to
have
those
they're
a
great
resource.
A
A
G
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
having
us
here
tonight
the
director
of
the
Black
Mountain
center
for
the
arts,
and
about
a
year
ago,
one
of
our
board
members
live
at
Tracy
was
inspired
to
come
to
us
with
an
idea
that
was
very
new
to
us
and
very
exciting,
and
it
was
the
beginning
of
an
interesting
journey
for
all
of
us.
She
brought
to
our
attention
the
incredible
devastation
of
the
monarch,
butterflies
and
how
their
numbers
had
decreased
so
dramatically
that
there
was
a
real
fear.
We
would
lose
them
entirely.
G
The
Flyway
over
Black
Mountain
used
to
be
just
like
constant
during
the
time
that
they
were
migrating
and
if
you
pay
attention,
you'll
see
that
lately,
we've
been
getting
one
at
a
time.
It's
been
very,
very
sad,
so
livez
idea
was
to
use
the
Arts
to
bring
awareness
to
this
issue
and
to
help
the
local
community
and
the
wider
community
see
that
there
are
things
that
could
be
done
and
out
of
that
came
a
project.
We
called
bring
back
the
Monarchs
and
it
grew
every
time
we
met
thinking.
It
basically
involved
finding
a
way
to.
G
Let
people
understand
that
the
only
way
monarchs
can
survive
is
if
they
have
milkweed
and
milkweed
has
been
devastated
by
a
lot
of
the
pesticides,
particularly
roundup.
So
they're
going
to
talk
a
little
more
about
that,
but
I
wanted
to
tell
you
that
last
year
we
ended
up
having
a
very
successful
event
for
this
issue
and
it
involved
a
lot
of
partnerships.
We
worked
with
three
local
schools.
We
worked
with
the
Rotary
Club
of
black
mountain
in
the
rotary
district
of
western
north
carolina
number
76
70.
G
We
had
funding
from
them
and
the
Lipscomb
foundation
and
our
donors
and
a
lot
of
people
that
got
very
excited
about
it.
In
the
end,
we
served
over
250
second
graders
and
other
grade
school
kids.
We
had
Nina
in
the
classrooms.
We
had
ina
Warren
who's,
also
a
person
who's
advocating
for
the
Monarchs,
and
we
did
public
performance
art.
We
did
a
complete
exhibit
in
our
gallery
with
a
focus
on
marks
and
milkweed
so
that
everything
had
to
be
about
that,
and
that
was
an
incredible,
exhibit
we're
going
to
repeat
that
again
this
year.
G
They
gathered
at
the
square
and
you're
going
to
see
a
video
of
what
happened
when
they
migrated
from
the
Town
Square
to
the
Art
Center,
and
at
times
there
were
kids
still
leaving
the
town
square,
as
the
other
end
of
the
line
was
entering
the
Arts
Center,
where
they
have
a
program
with
Nina.
So
we're
going
to
show
you
that
video
I've,
given
the
people
up
here,
a
picture
of
one
of
the
pieces
of
artwork
that
was
a
mural
painted
on
our
building
by
Mary,
so
Nova
and
with
Tracy.
G
This
was
a
postcard
that
introduced
the
exhibit
and
that's
what
was
put
on
the
side
of
the
building,
we're
very
excited
about
expanding
this
project,
so
I'm
just
going
to
let
you
see
what
we
did
last
time
around
and
now
the
interest
is
grown
and
our
goals
have
grown
so
we're
going
to
take
a
look.
This
is
available
on
YouTube.
All
you
have
to
do
is
go
to
youtube
and
look
up
bring
back
the
Monarchs.
Thank
you
so
much.
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
I
The
wintering
sites
where
the
Monarchs
cluster
I
have
just
returned
from
an
educational
tour
with
monarch
teachers,
network
of
two
of
the
wintering
sites
along
the
western
California
coast,
where
the
Monarchs
that
live
west
of
the
Rockies
cluster,
Pismo,
Beach
and
pacific
grove,
california,
Mike
Sobel,
recommended
that
I
return
with
whatever
information
I
could
find
on
how
the
town's
there,
where
these
sites
are,
have
incorporated
the
phenomena
of
the
butterflies
into
the
identity
of
the
town.
So.
H
I
Pacific
Grove
California
calls
itself
buttered,
butterfly
town
USA,
and
by
adopting
this
identity,
the
town
has
not
only
protected
the
butterflies
for
creating
by
creating
a
sanctuary
but
has
benefited
by
the
tourism
flowed
that
arrives
to
see
it.
People
come
from
all
over
to
witness
this.
The
people
of
Pacific
Grove
have
fully
embraced
it
and
have
woven
the
images
of
monarchs
throughout
the
town
by
signage
and
murals
fabricated,
butterflies,
made
out
of
metal
or
wood
that
different
artists,
rented
and
strapped
to
the
telephone,
poles
and
sculpture
as
well.
I
We
are
a
natural
flyover
area
for
their
2,500
mile
migration
journey
as
they
make
their
way
to
their
wintering
site
in
Mexico.
They
used
to
fly
in
a
continuous
stream
over
head
during
september-october.
The
more
I
learned,
the
more
I
realize
that
the
way
to
accomplish
this
remarkable
sight
to
return
to
our
area
is
a
simple
act
plant.
Their
only
host
plant
milkweed.
J
J
So
live
and
I
teamed
up
at
one
point
and
Gail
was
involved
as
well,
and
because
a
big
part
of
the
organization's
focus
is
education.
We
crafted
an
educational
part
there
that
you
saw
at
the
end
of
the
migration.
In
the
meantime,
I
went
in
with
several
volunteers
to
the
local
schools
and
we
raised
monarchs
in
the
classroom.
We
tagged
them
with
the
children
released
them,
which
is
a
real
citizen
science
activity.
J
J
Next
year,
I'd
love
to
work
with
the
town
of
Black
Mountain,
again
I'm,
currently
composing
a
grant
proposal
for
the
US
Fish
and
Wildlife
Service
that
will
bring
in
funds
to
plant
milkweed
here
in
black
mountain
and
work
with
school
children.
Again,
the
the
plantings
can
be
in
any
number
of
places
along
the
greenways
would
be
a
wonderful
spot
as
well
as
other
places
as
well.
That
may
not
be
as
public,
but
the
funds
will
help
purchase
milkweed
for
those
plantings,
as
well
as
provide
educational,
signage
and
educational
programs.
J
A
K
J
I
I
J
A
L
I'm
Robert
Woodward,
it's
good
to
be
here,
I,
want
to
say
first
of
all,
thanks
to
town
for
the
support
of
the
Tyson
library.
We
very
much
appreciate
it
and
you
know,
even
though
I'm
on
the
board,
even
though
I'm
the
chairman
of
the
board,
it's
still
a
resource
that
I
make
use
of
a
whole
lot
with
my
kids.
It
was
essential
to
my
children.
Growing
up
the
the
library
board
serves
primarily
in
a
cus
custodial
role
for
the
town,
as
most
of
you
know,
overlooking
the
physical
property
and
the
facilities.
L
So
it's
almost
a
mundane
work
that
we
do.
We
we
pay
utility
bills.
We
look
after
proper
function
of
heating,
air
conditioning
and
thankfully
that's
really
what
we've
done
the
last
year.
We
don't
have
any
large,
exciting
things
to
tell
you,
which
you
might
be
pleased
with
it.
I
hope.
That's
the
case.
The
years
previous,
you
know
we
had
the
big
renovations,
the
town
put
in
a
lot
of
money,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
I,
don't
say
turmoil.
L
It
was
exciting
turmoil
with
that
remodel,
but
this
year,
but
the
previous
year
has
been
very
uneventful.
We've
installed
some
new
exterior
lighting
or
at
least
updated
what
we
had.
We've
done.
Some
major
work
in
terms
of
maintenance
on
the
heating
and
a/c
we've
got
good
steady
circulation
as
we
always
have.
We
are
one
of
the
busiest
libraries
in
the
system.
L
We've
made
increased
use
of
our
educational
facilities
of
education
room.
But,
to
be
honest
with
you,
that's
about
it,
we
were
just
trying
to
hold
steady,
maintain
what
we've
got
and
carry
on.
So
that's
that
once
again,
thank
you
to
the
the
town
for
all
the
support
you
guys
have
given
to
the
board
level.
One.
B
We
will
tend
to
have
years
where
the
monthly
bills
are
three
or
four
hundred
bucks
and
then
we'll
have
those
years
when
you
replace
a
13,000
14,000
dollar
heating
air
unit.
So
it's
it's
it's
hard
to
say
what,
if
you
try
to
analyze,
that
would
be
on
average.
If
we're.
B
L
Inference
aside,
be
I,
don't
want
to
forget
to
mention
that
the
Friends
of
the
library
this
year
have
donated
a
video
system
to
monitor
the
premises,
I
think
so
to
be
monitored
it
pack
that
has
not
been
installed
yet,
but
so
you
know,
whatever
shortfalls
come
up
various
times.
Friends
will
take
care
of
additional
needs,
but
we're
overseeing
the
physical
facility,
not
nothing
to
do
with
the
staff
in.
K
M
I'm
not
really
sure
about
this
month
here,
but
this
is
the
annual
police
report.
It's
calendar
year
2014.
So
all
the
stats
are
through
2014.
Our
calls
for
service
for
2014
was
twenty
1179.
That's
up
four
percent
from
2013.
However,
it's
still
down
a
little
bit
from
2012
on
the
next
slide.
You'll
see
the
2014's
in
red
and
the
2013
is
in
blue.
This
just
gives
you
a
comparison
between
the
two.
M
We
had
273
incidents
as
criminal
incident
reports,
one
881
citation
charges,
384,
total
arrests,
613
total
charges,
183
traffic
accidents,
which
was
up
we'll,
go
into
a
little
more
detail
on
that
and
155
drug
violations,
which
also
we're
up
a
little
bit,
will
go
more
in
detail
on
that
one
also,
and
then
you
have
the
DWI
zur,
actually
cut.
In
half
little
less
than
half
there
was
only
18
4
2014.
So
that's
a
good
good
indication
on
the
next
slide,
you'll
see
where
the
traffic
accidents
being
up
some.
M
If
you'll
notice
in
2014,
we
had
a
167
PD,
that's
on
the
bottom.
Pd
would
be
property
damage
outs,
a
low
speed
type
collisions
what
we
call
property
damage.
So
the
the
acts
of
the
picture
on
the
left
would
be
a
lower
speed,
type
collision,
parking
lots
and
such
those
were
actually
up
in
2014
versus
2013,
and
then
we
had
16
PR,
which,
if
you
look
at
the
red
car,
that's
something
that
we're
speeds
are
increased
collisions
that
would
cause
personal
injury.
M
That's
what
the
pie
and,
if
you'll
look,
we've
actually
reduced
those
from
thirty
seven
and
twenty
thirteen
to
sixteen
and
twenty
fourteen.
So
that's
huge
and
reduce
thats.
A
speeding
is
not
an
issue
on
a
next
slide.
We
have
our
drug
violations
in
2014
we
had
155,
which
is
up,
but
120
of
those
were
misdemeanors
and
29.
M
Felony
we'd
made
several
felony
drug
arrests
with
possession
with
the
intent
to
manufacture
cells
in
the
liver
that
there
was
an
marijuana
grow
operation
on
the
next
slide.
You'll
see
also
that
these
drugs
that
we've
seized
over
the
2014
range
from
marijuana
heroin,
psychedelic
mushrooms,
prescription
medications.
We
also
see
some
handguns
and
money
from
those
arrests.
If
you'll
notice
that's
a
little
different
than
just
marijuana,
if
you'll
notice
on
the
top
right,
that's
the
mushrooms
and
then
on
the
bottom
left
is
the
heroin
which
is
called
black
tar.
M
It's
got
a
black
tar
consistency,
we're
seeing
more
of
that,
even
actually
in
the
surrounding
areas
too.
That's
a
and
for
whatever
reason
it
is
increasing.
It's
becoming
the
drug
of
choice
on
our
next
slide.
You'll
see
that's
just
a
comparison
in
the
last
three
years,
2012
in
the
green
2013
and
blue
and
2014
in
the
red,
so
there's
no
real
spikes
in
anything.
M
Obviously
2012
was
the
busiest
year
of
the
the
13
or
14
on
our
next
slide.
The
police
department
continues
to
build
upon
our
youth
relations
in
our
schools.
Officers,
walk
through
the
schools
and
have
lunch
with
the
children.
We
also
provide
police
tours
and
interact
by
reading
to
the
primary
students
so
officer,
Buster
gray,
which
is
our
downtown
officer,
and
he
also
interacts
in
the
schools
are
reading
to
the
children,
and
the
top
picture
is
the
is
a
career
day.
M
The
another
thing
we
partnered
with
the
fire
department
and
opening
up
car
doors
and
trying
to
reduce
speed,
especially
in
the
beginning
of
the
year.
This
is
something
that
the
fire
department
in
police
department
together,
I
do
and
the
kids
course
they
get
a
pretty
good
kick
out
of
it.
On
the
next
slide.
The
walk
to
schools
and
safety.
Saturday
are
a
couple
of
other
events
at
promote
community
and
youth
relations.
M
The
we
had
several
agencies
at
the
safety
Saturday
and
something
the
Fire
Department
police
department
also
worked
together
on
kids,
really
like
the
power
canine,
and
it
we've
done
some
demonstrations
and,
of
course,
we'll
walk
to
school
is
always
a
big
hit
and
then
the
governor's
highway
safety
program.
This
is
something
that
we've
done
just
a
little
different
this
year,
but
officers
handed
out
brochures
on
vehicle
safety
restraints.
This
is
an
initiative
through
the
governor's
highway
safety
program
and
kids
safe
USA.
M
This
is
just
information
trying
to
give
the
parents
to
make
sure
that
we're
buckling
up
make
sure
the
children
in
our
in
the
proper
safety
restraints.
We
also
offer
those
services
at
the
police
department
if
somebody
needs
assistance
in
assistance
in
putting
or
installing
their
child
safety
seat
the
next
slide.
We
also
continue
to
participate
in
the
operation
medicine
drop.
This
provides
a
safe
way
for
people
to
dispose
of
on
unwanted
or
expired
prescription
medication,
and
it
also
aids
in
help
preventing
accidental
poisonings
and
also
protecting
the
environment.
M
We've
been
doing
that
on
an
annual
basis.
Sometimes
that
information
comes
out.
We
try
to
get
that
information
out
as
fast
as
we
can
so
people
will
have
a
place.
The
Sheriff's
Office
has
a
place
open
monday
through
friday
during
regular
hours.
If
you
want
to
drop
it
off
or
you
can
walk,
wait
for
our
operation,
medicine
drop
to
dropping
and
medication
off.
M
The
next
would
be
the
enough
program
and
that's
the
big
kicked
off
in
2014.
Also,
it's
an
effort
to
reduce
domestic
violence.
We
were
able
to
team
up
with
the
Vulcan
County
Asheville,
another
surrounding
agencies,
the
hopefully
reduce
of
domestic
violence,
and
our
next
would
be
sergeant.
Airs
and
officer.
Denton
receive
their
advance
long
for
certifications
from
the
state
that
certification
is
based
upon
training,
education.
It's
also
the
highest
law
enforcement
certification.
You
can
obtain
in
North
Carolina
over
half
an
hour.
M
Department
has
those
which
were
proud
of
and
our
traveling
training
hours
for
the
year
was
1830
hours.
Training
next
week
is
our
police
reserves,
our
reserves
put
in
1869
hours,
which
was
a
cost
savings
of
20
9530.
If
we
had
to
pay
someone
to
perform
those
duties
and
each
year
we
have
numerous
events
in
a
lot
more
5
case,
a
lot
of
vents
in
town
that
they
help
to
help
us
with
and
the
next
one
is
a
couple
of
new
officers.
M
A
H
A
M
Only
had
probably
well
we've
had
about
well,
we've
had
two
over
the
last
12
years.
Typically,
there
are
more
in
rural
areas
due
to
the
smell
and
and
a
lot
of
those
labs
have
gotten
away
from
cooking
labs,
now
they're
doing
what
they
call
a
shaken
baby
and
that's
a
actually
a
mobile
lab
that
they're
doing
they
found
out
that
they
can
do
the
shaking
bakes.
So
a
lot
of
labs
it
has
been
reduced,
especially
in
our
area.
We
need.
We
never
had
a
whole
lot
of
those
I.
A
Well,
I
really
like
the
program,
but
y'all
do
a
great
job,
especially
like
the
program
with
the
use.
You
know
so
that
you're
in
the
school's
reading,
with
them
being
around
them,
evil
unto
the
measures
it
and,
as
you
say,
so
that
they
can
see
you
as
someone
they
can
turn
to.
Instead
of
turning
away
from
them,
we.
M
N
The
mayor,
the
numbers
that
you're
here
tonight
are
different
from
the
numbers.
You
heard
it
by
bakery
because
they're
taking
two
different
ways.
So
you've
been
the
numbers
person
that
you
are
I,
know
you're
gonna,
see
these
and
think
I'm
a
funeral,
so
so
they're
different
in
minus
for
six
months,
not
the
whole
year.
So
we
had
592
calls
in
the
city.
282
calls
in
the
district
for
800
setting
for
total
call
for
the
last
six
months.
N
We
had
little
over
three
million
dollars
exposed
to
fire
in
the
city
and
a
loss
of
a
hundred
and
nine
thousand
and
then
three
hundred
thousand
exposed
in
the
district
for
the
loss
of
five
hundred.
So
that's
still
within
our
goal
of
ten
percent,
we
did
458
business
inspections
with
two
residential
inspections
and
then
we
had
625
public
education
in
Vince.
That's
do
because
October
is
fire
prevention
week
we
have
our
open
house,
we
go
out
in
the
schools
all
week,
so
that
number
is
always
high
for
this
report.
N
For
that
reason-
and
we
have
a
very
good
program
that
we
started
going
out
to
the
schools
and
Casey
was
very
kind.
Enough
of
us
borrow
one
of
his
bounce
houses
so,
and
that
was
a
great
big
deal.
We
had
30
100
hours
of
training.
The
build
up
the
picture
on
the
left
is
a
building
in
rich
crash.
That's
no
longer
there.
N
N
Then,
of
course
we
had
a
hundred
and
eighty
six
hours
of
extra
duty.
People
just
come
in
helping
out
clean
up
around
the
station
and
when
I
think
of
extra
duty
I
think
you're
Charlie
our
net,
so
that
picture
will
always
be
there
as
long
as
I'm,
the
chief,
the
next
chief,
can
take
it
out
of
slide
I.
Just
can't
do
that.
So
a
couple
pictures,
hoping
house
fire
trucks,
riders
tribes,
are
always
a
big
hit
and
then,
like
I
said
we
were
able
to
set
the
bounce
house
up
inside
the
fire
station.
N
That's
more
of
an
obstacle
course,
not
a
bouncy
house,
but
it's
still
either
wait
the
children
loved
it,
and
that
was
a
big
hit
as
well
as
diving
on
the
fire.
Trucks
of
this
is
actual
correct
that
we
worked
at
on
North
Fork,
Road,
the
police
department
and
the
fire
department.
Both
worked
this.
It
was
a
very
big
scene.
We
had
two
ropes
at
them
for
a
while-
and
this
is
just
some
of
our
guides
and
hit
work.
N
There's
the
front
of
the
front
of
the
vehicle,
so
it
was,
it
was
tore
up
pretty
good.
Then
we
have
to
golf
course
out.
We
went
out
in
a
water
degrees
when
I
believe
the
pump
was
down
one
day.
We
took
the
little
tighter
and
went
around
and
started
watering
greens
and
the
guys
got
to
be
kicked
out
of
getting
out
of
house
and
driving
on
the
dark
path.
The
Gorkha
cart
path
with
the
fire
truck.
This
is
the
house
that
I
showed
you
earlier
that
we
burned
it's
a
controlled
burn.
N
We
used
this
house,
the
state
came
in
and
did
some
testing
for
live
burn
instructors
and
we
got
a
one
of
our
lieutenant
Bobby
Davis
went
through
the
training
he's
now
state
certified
lab
burn
instructor.
He
can
hold
his
class
and
do
this
work
and
teach
our
guys
how
to
do
it.
This
is
another
life
burn.
We
did
in
ridgecrest
at
the
girls
camp
they're,
making
some
pretty
big
renovations
and
they
gave
us
a
building
to
do
some
training
with
as
well.
N
We
went
in
and
done
some
all
kinds
of
training
would
burn
it
down
at
the
after.
The
training
was
over
and
that's
what
it
minded
up
to
be.
So
this
thing's
burning
up
quite
quite
well
and
then
last.
If
we
can
get
this
to
work
and
show
you
what
some
of
our
money
we've
spent
on
this
last
six
months
went
to.
I
N
It
was
going
to
show
you
a
picture
of
our
new
roof.
We
got
the
father
coming
West
Bay
Area.
We
used
to
Diaz
check
blood
pressures
and
gave
me
a
shower
at
the
same
time
when
you
sit
on
the
bench,
so
we
no
longer
give
showers
because
we've
got
a
new
roof
and
doesn't
leak
anymore.
So
we
still
check
blood
pressure.
So
if
you
want
to
come
out,
get
your
blood
pressure
checked
him
come
by
the
fire
department.
Glad
to
do
that.
I
had
a
really
good
video
of
that.
N
K
O
N
D
Or
you've
got
your
adoptive
minutes
from
your
agenda
workshop
and
your
regular
session
in
January.
You've
got
a
resolution
in
support
of
the
North
Carolina
historic
preservation,
tax
credit
program.
As
I
mentioned
last
week,
we
don't
have
any
all
the
all
the
cities
in
the
state
are
our
make
an
effort
to
pass
this
resolution
and
support
this.
The
General
Assembly
is
looking
at
eliminating
the
program
of
the
governor
is
actually
a
favorite
program.
D
We
don't
have
any
buildings
that
currently
qualify
or
have
taken
advantage
of
the
tax
credit
program,
but
we
do
have
potential
properties
that
could
use
it
and
we'd
like
to
support
any
kind
of
tax
credit
program
that
we
can
you've
got
a
budget
amendment
for
eight
thousand
dollars.
This
is
our
match
for
the
bike
plan
that
that
we've
been,
we
received
a
grant
for
from
duty.
It's
a
forty
thousand
dollar
grant.
Our
portion
is
eight
thousand
dollars.
We
should
have
that
completed
sometime
in
the
fall.
D
You
have
a
budget
amendment
in
the
amount
of
fourteen
thousand
dollars
to
make
some
improvements
to
the
police
communication
system
that
actually
comes
out
of
the
distribution
from
the
AVC
board.
They
have
a
little
bit
of
a
fund
balance
for
that,
and
so
it
doesn't
actually
impact
taxes
there.
You
know
the
fund
balance
of
the
general
fund
become.
It
comes
from
money
that
is
restricted
specifically
for
Police
Department
use,
and
we
would
like
to
to
make
some
improvements
with
the
communication
system.
There.
You
have
three
calls
for
public
hearing.
D
You've
got
a
cough
public
hearing
to
rezone
the
property
on
Tabernacle
road
that
we
recently
annexed
for
Gibbons
highland
farms
and
designate
that
is
by
six.
Then
you
have
a
call
public
hearing
to
create
a
text
amendment
to
actually
establish
a
use
for
coverage,
care
facilities
and
nursing
homes.
We
don't
have
that
in
our
system
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
have
that
as
a
definition
and
then
finally,
you
have
a
public
to
add
the
congregate
care
facilities
and
nursing
care
institutions
as
a
conditional-use
in
that
in
that
district.
D
A
A
On
favor
ohs
passes
unanimously.
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
program.
I
think
this
is
just
incredible
that
we
can
go
ahead.
Matt
is
already
gone
ahead
and
been
working
with
the
beautification
committee
and
planting
the
back
side
of
the
dam
which
you
may
get
to
a
little
bit
later,
and
something
about
that.
But
I
think
that
this
not
only
has
benefits
for
educating
the
kids.
It
has
benefits
for
the
town
community
to
get
together,
I've
already
spoken
with
the
business
manager
down
at
the
neurological
center.
A
That
is
a
about
a
25
acre
facility
down
there
and
Jack
st.
Clair
is
excited
to
use
his
greenhouses
to
grow
milkweed
to
go
ahead
and
get
the
seeds
as
well
as
go
ahead
and
take
seed
and
make
the
rhizomes
use.
His
crews
to
plant
I
spoke
with
Jason
coward.
He
is
the
head
of
the
Pisgah
I
mean
of
the
Presbyterian
home
laiki
grade,
and
he
also
is
excited
to
use
their
12
to
15
acre
facility
there
to
help
promote
this
and
help
educate
the
kids
and
use
the
kids
in
planting
this.
A
So
there's
going
to
be
others
groups
we
haven't
contacted
yet,
but
one
of
the
main
reasons
to
have
brought
this
here
was
because
this
would
aid
the
gale
and
them
as
they
as
they
apply
for
these
grants
to
have
the
endorsements.
So
I
thank
the
board
for
stepping
forward.
In
doing
this,
no
one
finished
business
communication
from
Sam
mr.
Sneed
I.
B
Forget
what
happened
but
I
don't
know
if
this
for
the
last
board
meeting
but
on
the
settings
case
the
bond
matter
that
we
had
won
both
a
trial
and
at
court
of
appeals.
The
bond
comers
have
in
fact
petitions
Supreme
Court,
ask
that
they
will
hear
this
case.
That's
a
two-step
process.
First,
they
decide
for
the
zeroth.
They
could
reject
it
and
we're
done,
but
they
decide
to
hear
it
another
date
later
down
the
line
it's
set
for.
Are
you
at
the
moment
we're
just
waiting
to
see
they
decided
to
hear
it
again.
D
Mad
just
two
quick
things:
as
you
mentioned,
you
may
have
gotten
a
call
or
27
about
lake
tomahawk.
Damn,
though
the
trees
have
been
had
been
cut
down
there,
they
were
that
was
worked
on
last
week.
I
was
there
this
weekend
it
was
a
beautiful
weekend
and
there
were
a
lot
people
walking
out
there.
There's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done.
We
are
going
to
happen.
D
D
The
process
and
nothing
into
the
process
out
there
and
we're
probably
still
a
couple
of
months
away
from
having
that
having
that
done,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
would
mention
to
you
is
that
the
the
board
of
the
Swannanoa
Valley,
dr.
Martin,
Luther,
King
jr.
memorial
corporation,
has
extended
an
invitation
to
everybody
for
their
prayer
breakfast,
which
is
on
Saturday
februari
28th
at
door,
fat
camp,
Dorothy
walls,
eight
o'clock
a.m.
there
there
speaker
this
year,
will
be
Tyrone,
Greenlee
he's
a
community
activist
and
a
graduate
of
university
with
on
chapel
hill.
D
So
I
think
he
probably
is
a
really
great
speaker
and
I
would
just
remind
you.
The
tickets
to
the
breakfast
and
the
program
are
fifteen
dollars
and
are
available
from
the
Black
Mountain
Chamber
of
Commerce.
So
if
anyone
is
interested,
we
do
look
like
a
pretty
good
show
in
there.
So
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
what
take
advantage
of
that,
and
that's
all
that
do.
A
We
have
a
meal
because
we
got
to
have
a
closed
session
here
in
a
minute,
but
I'll
give
the
opportunity
to
the
Board
of
Aldermen
if
they
have
something
special.
They
want
to
say.
I
will
take
this
town
to
say
something
special
to
the
manager,
mr.
Mansell
Domeier,
and
if
he
could,
please
move
quickly
to
resolve
the
issue
quick
speaker,
but
a
giant
slayer.
That's
the
everything.
I
miss
pretty
much
very
good.
You
hear
a
motion
to
go
to
club
sessions,
so
there's
Pompey
does
she
were
going
close.
