D
Thank
You
mayor
council,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
this
is
sergeant
Chris
King,
one
of
our
patrol
watch
commanders
and
we've
got
a
life-saving
recognition
award
for
a
couple
of
officers
that
work
under
under
both
myself
and
sergeant
King,
and
it's
a
great
honor
to
do
this
and
I
give
you
the
small
synopsis
of
what
we're
talking
about
it.
As
a
life-saving
recognition,
we've
got
an
it's
into
the
curve
of
the
suicidal
female.
There
need
to
jump
off
of
a
bridge
here
in
Black
Mountain
the
Blue
Ridge
Road.
D
It
was
early
one
morning,
pre-dawn
hours,
that's
about
five
o'clock
in
the
morning
officer
Kane
arrived
and
to
find
you
know
the
this
female
and
passing
murders
and
family
trying
to
trying
to
get
her
back
on
the
bridge.
She
was
actually
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
guardrail.
Just
barely
hanging
off
officer
King
negotiates
and
is
talking
with
this
female
trying
to
keep
her
attention
and
about
this
time
officer.
Mcdonald
responds
and
I'd
like
to
have
both
of
them
step
up
here
as
I'll
talk
about
this,
so
both
officers
responded.
D
Both
office
got
been
on
scene
and
they
realized
that,
while
Keith
officer
King
here
is
talking
to
the
the
subjects
she's
having
a
mental
health
crisis,
standing
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
bridge,
rail,
so
she's
getting
ready
to
fall
into
the
Swannanoa
River
and
it's
about
20
degrees
outside
I'm,
assuming
it
was
really
cold.
December
morning
once
they
were
in
position.
D
Keith's
distracted
her
while
John
was
able
to
grab
a
hold
over
to
keep
her
from
falling
and
then
both
of
them
were
able
to
retrieve
this
lady
and
bring
her
back
across
the
guardrail
and
being
able
to
get
her
into
safety
when
I
first
learned
about
this
I
was
pretty
proud
of
these
guys
and
I
wish.
I
could
show
you
the
video
of
it,
because
it's
pretty
astounding
they're,
pretty
amazing
how
quickly
things
and
the
decisions
that
they
made,
and
it's
an
honor
for
me
to
present
this.
These
two
officers
with
the
life.
E
Marilyn
spam
ski
five,
sixty
in
Laurel
Avenue
here
in
Black,
Mountain
good
evening,
it's
from
my
growing
edge
tonight
that
I
speak
about
something
that
matters
so
much
to
me
and
something
that
has
such
strong
emotion
attached
to
it.
I've
stood
before
you
three
times
already
here
at
town
meetings
addressing
the
issue
of
town
elections
standing
here
this
very
moment,
I
see
that
four
of
the
five
Alderman
seats
are
occupied
or
reserved
for
individuals
who
were
not
elected
to
be
in
them
that
not
2019
elections
were
canceled.
E
How,
through
a
legal
means,
a
change
in
the
town
starter
requested
by
her
board,
submitted
by
a
member
of
the
Buncombe
County
delegation
to
the
General
Assembly,
who
doesn't
represent
our
town
and
passed
by
the
assembly.
It
extended
the
terms
of
those
elected
in
2015
and
2017
for
a
year
until
the
designated
upcoming,
even
your
elections.
That
applies
now
to
two
aldermen
now
serving,
but
in
article
two
section.
Four
of
our
town
charter
is
written.
E
The
following
all
powers
of
the
town
shall
be
vested
in
the
board
of
aldermen
of
five
members
and
a
mayor
nominated
and
elected
from
the
town
at-large.
Those
words
remain
intact
in
the
new
law,
given
an
extension
of
term
is
not
the
same
as
election
does
using
a
legal
means
to
grant
a
free
year
automatically
make
the
outcome
legal.
What
about
the
two
members
who
by
circumstance,
had
been
appointed
two
seats
vacated
since
the
2015
election?
They
were
not
elected.
This
is
a
democracy.
Democracy
is
by
the
people
or
by
their
elected
representatives.
E
People
choose
their
leaders,
the
leaders
don't
choose
themselves.
So
why
did
the
board
pass
a
resolution
to
change
our
elections
to
even
years?
The
key
breeze
inside
of
the
2018
September
and
October
town
meetings
was
cost.
Ultimately,
however,
shared
election
cost
originally
expected
to
be
more
because
Asheville
switched
to
even
your
elections
by
legislative
mandate.
Actually
flip-flopped
our
chorus
costs
were
going
to
be
less
than
the
cost
for
our
last
election
in
2017.
I.
E
Do
want
to
note
here
that
there
was
a
solitary
voice
of
opposition
amongst
our
aldermen
to
even
your
elections,
who
spoke
at
each
of
the
September
October
November
2018
town
meetings,
expressing
their
conclusions
after
having
clearly
given
serious
and
extensive
thought
to
the
topic
from
many
angles
they
had
concluded.
It
was
wrong
to
ask
for
the
change
just
because
it's
politically
expedient
or
it's
a
cost
savings,
adding
it's
a
cost
savings
going
away.
E
F
Hi,
my
name
is
Jocelyn
I'm,
15
and
third
Avenue
I
wanted
to
say
something
a
little
bit
more
banal,
which
is
encourage
the
board
to
speak
into
the
microphones
when
you
speak
when
you're
having
a
conversation
and
you
turn
and
talk
to
one
another,
you
really
can't
hear
it
out
here
and
the
microphones
do
work.
If
you
direct
your
voice
to
them
and
I
know
it's
not
just
me
that
has
struggled
to
hear
what
is
being
said
so
appreciate
your
attention.
F
G
A
B
The
president,
the
board
apologize
for
not
being
here
or
not,
so
they
left
me
with
this
child.
It
was
most
of
you
know
that
the
White
Mountain
library
board
is
basically
a
maintenance
committee
for
the
building
which
we
own,
in
which
the
county
operates,
the
library
itself.
They
hire
the
staff
and
they
buy
the
books.
However,
we
keep
the
building
up.
We've
got
a
new
librarian
if
nobody
remembers
her
name's
Melissa
Presley
she's
young
fireball,
lots
of
ideas.
B
If
you
walk
inside
the
library
you'll
see
that
all
of
a
sudden
we've
got
splashes
of
color
or
rearrangements,
better
or
lighting.
The
children's
reading
area
lit
up
will
look
better
over
on
the
senior
citizen
side
that
could
Cadiz
put
in
better
lighting,
so
I
could
see
to
read
and
a
bunch
of
other
things
about
them
inside
there's
been
some
painting
of
accent,
walls,
the
old
60s
paneling
front
and
the
children's
room
has
been
covered
with
sheetrock
and
painted.
B
So
it's
a
broader
space
outside
the
board
has
range
to
have
basically
an
overgrowth
of
landscaping
over
the
last
few
years.
It
it
turned
into
jungle,
you'll
notice
that
you
go
by
now.
The
ground
is
clear
in
a
lot
of
places
where
there's
growth
in
you,
the
count
there's
a
new
sign,
the
patio
outside
the
education
room
that
used
to
be
brought.
It
was
getting
very
rough
and
dangerous,
that's
been
replaced
and
the
building
has
been
painted
that's
one
year
for
us,
that's
a
lot
going
on.
B
We
haven't
had
much
report
on
in
the
last
few
years
because
the
building
was
a
lot
of
several
years
ago
and
is
in
good
shape.
Well
that
wore
off
so
this
year
a
lots
been
done
to
get
your
building
back
in
shape.
It
is
your
building
and
we
hope,
you're
going
another
50
years,
that
buildings
built
50
years
old
51
years
ago
now,
and
it's
holding
up.
H
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
present
to
you
tonight,
my
name
is
Chuck
McGowan
and
I
am
a
partnership
specialist
for
the
United
States
Census
Bureau.
My
job
as
a
partnership
specialist
is
to
initially
educate
folks
about
the
mission
of
the
census,
which
is
to
count
everyone
once
only
once
and
in
the
right
place
once
that
mission
is
complete.
Really
what
I'm
trying
to
do
is
encourage
folks
to
actually
respond
once
the
count
begins
in
the
spring.
H
The
probably
most
people
know
that
history
of
the
census
started
back
in
1790.
It's
actually
a
constitutional
requirement
that
the
count
occurs
every
10
years,
and
this
next
one
will
occur
in
the
spring
of
2020.
What
people
don't
know
is
how
high
the
stakes
can
be.
First
of
all,
the
results
of
the
census
are
used
for
congressional
apportionment,
so
435
seats,
currently
North
Carolina
has
13
of
those,
and
we
believe
that
if
we
hit
our
state
goal
of
82%
that
we
can
pick
up
at
least
one
more
seat,
we
know
that
you
know.
H
Drawing
of
those
congressional
districts
has
been
a
hot
topic
in
North
Carolina.
Lately,
one
more
seat
would
give
us
a
lot
more
flexibility
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
represented
properly.
But
people
usually
know
about
is
the
dollars
that
are
associated
with
the
census,
so
675
billion
federal
dollars
are
given
out
based
on
the
results
of
the
census
and
for
good
or
bad,
depending
on
how
we
do
this
count,
we're
stuck
with
those
numbers
for
the
next
10
years
until
2030.
H
So
it's
incredibly
important
that
we
do
a
good
job
this
year
of
making
sure
we
get
a
good
count
again.
Those
675
billion
dollars
that
that's
annually
so
over
10
years,
you're.
Looking
at
dollars
in
the
trillions
talk
about
some
specific
2020
dates,
95
percent
of
folks
in
the
United
States
will
be
counted
by
getting
an
invitation
in
the
mail.
Those
invitations
will
go
out
the
second
week
of
March,
with
the
first
lot
going
out
on
March
12th
and
when
you
receive
that
invitation,
what
we're
hoping
that
you'll
do.
H
It'll
have
a
code
specific
to
your
address
and
we're
hoping
that
folks
will
go
online
to
fill
out
that
that
census
form
you'll
actually
have
the
option
for
the
first
time
ever
of
going
online,
filling
it
out
by
phone,
which
you'll
talk
to
an
actual
human
being
or
waiting
for
a
paper
copy.
If
you
fill
it
out
online,
that's
the
quickest
way
to
get
it
done,
and
then
no
one
will
come
to
your
house
ultimately,
over
the
next
few
weeks,
we
expect
will
send
you
several
more
documents
to
include
a
postcard
another
invitation.
H
After
that,
what
you
can
expect,
if
someone
is
going
to
come
to
your
house,
to
enumerate
you
all
right,
we
know
that
that
that's
an
incredibly
difficult
process
and
we
need
people
to
do
that.
So
the
enumeration
piece
where
we
send
human
beings
to
your
house
kind
of
kind
of
brings
two
things
to
mind
that
you
need
to
think
about.
First,
who
are
the
folks
that
are
not
going
to
respond?
Initially,
they
fall
into
categories,
typically
that
the
Census
Bureau
refers
to
it's
hard
to
count.
Typically,
those
folks.
H
You
know
our
communities
like
children
from
0
to
5
a
lot
of
times.
Folks,
just
don't
think
that
they
matter
you
don't
pay
taxes,
they
don't
do
anything
else.
They
don't
drive
on
the
road,
so
folks
tend
to
not
count
them.
We're
really
trying
to
educate
folks
that
that
children
zero
to
five
matter
different
folks
that
they
fall
into
minority
categories,
whether
it's
latina,
X
or
African,
American
communities,
sometimes
veteran
communities.
It
tend
to
be
less
trustful
of
the
government.
H
Those
people
count,
everyone
counts,
so
part
of
the
education
piece
is
making
sure
that
we
find
the
trusted
voices
for
those
communities
the
one
specific
to
your
community,
so
that
we
can
convince
those
trusted
voices.
Then
they
can
convince
their
constituents
that
the
census
is
a
safe
thing
to
take
once
we
realize
that
certain
folks
have
not
done
the
census
and
we're
sending
out
enumerators.
Well
now
we
come
to
one
of
the
most
important
issues,
and
that
is
that
we
need
people
to
apply
to
work
for
the
census.
H
We
expect
in
Buncombe,
County
and
Black
Mountains,
specifically
to
get
to
hit
that
goal
of
80
percent
most
of
the
tracks
that
surround
Black,
Mountain
there's
three
of
them.
We
expect
anywhere
from
82
to
84
percent
of
folks
and
that's
based
on
previous
censuses
in
the
American
Community
Survey.
We
expect
you
to
hit
that
goal
now,
but
unfortunately,
still
have
to
focus
on
the
the
16
to
18
percent
of
folks,
sometimes
20
that
are
not
going
to
self-respond
and
we
need
people
to
go
enumerate
them.
So
there's
a
big
push
right
now
for
the
census.
H
Most
of
our
media
assets
are
going
towards
recruiting.
We
need
people
to
apply
for
the
census.
The
job
process
takes
a
long
time
for
the
government,
so
we're
gonna
make
sure
we
do
a
great
background
check
and
that
background
check
could
take
it
anywhere
up
to
eight
weeks.
So
for
Western
North
Carolina,
which
is
the
western
25
counties.
We
need
nineteen
thousand
applicants
and,
right
now,
quite
honestly,
we're
sitting
under
7,000.
H
We
should
be
probably
closer
to
14,
so
those
19,000
we
expect
probably
around
15,000
folks
to
get
jobs,
aren't
sorry
about
5,000
folks
initially
to
do
the
enumeration
piece,
but
we
know
historically,
while
the
Western
North
Carolina
counties
have
done
very
well
at
getting
those
those
initial
self
responders.
What
we
don't
do
well,
that
is
keeping
people
in
those
enumeration
jobs.
We
have
historically
a
lot
of
turnover
and
once
somebody
turns
over
and
decides
that
they're
not
going
to
continue
to
enumerate,
we've
got
to
have
someone
who's
already
complete
with
their
background
check.
H
That
can
jump
right
in
so
that
that
piece
of
recruiting
is
extremely
important,
so
again,
kind
of.
In
summary,
the
2020
census
is
coming
in
the
spring.
The
goal
is
to
count
every
single
person
and
95%
of
folks
will
be
counted
at
their
address.
Some
other
people
will
be
counted
at
group
quarters
that
will
be
done
for
dorm
facilities,
assisted
living
facilities.
Things
like
that
that
will
start
taking
place
here
in
the
early
spring.
I
On
call
volume,
we've
run
a
total
of
fifteen
hundred
sixty-six
calls
inside
the
city
limits
757
in
our
rural
area,
which
is
considered
our
East
Buncombe
district
for
a
total
of
twenty-two
thousand
three
hundred
and
twenty
three
calls
with
55%
of
that
being
medical
responses
to
1294
the
fire
loss.
There
was
a
potential
exposure
of
38
million
six
hundred
thirty-seven
thousand
with
a
loss
sustained
of
390
$1,100.
I
Let's
do
to
the
service,
provided
our
guys
have
done
an
excellent
job
of
making
a
quick
response,
fire
fire
injuries
or
civilians.
We
try
to
my
arrival.
They
were
to
civilian
injuries
in
fire
involving
some
gasoline
and
fuel
mixtures
on
the
result
in
to
civilian
injuries
on
the
fire
prevention
side,
business
inspections
726,
our
residential
is
54
and
prevention
activities
115
for
a
total
of
895.
I
What
you're
seeing
on
the
screen
here
is
an
average
firefighter
as
a
duly
daily
uniformed
there's
dealing
weighs
one
hundred
fifty
six
panels.
As
you
see
the
difference
to
carrying
a
extinguisher
his
other
gear,
with
a
high-rise
pack
and
weight
changes
to
317
pounds,
that's
what
they
go
in
if
we're
going
to
live
mountain
sooner
or
afternoon
or
anywhere
else,
that's
going
to
be
the
drastic
change
that
you
can
see.
I
My
our
physical
fitness
is
imported
of
the
job
that
they
do
in
that,
just
with
the
turnout
gear
in
the
air
pack
alone,
you're
looking
at
approximately
$5,000
to
outfit
an
employee,
that's
not
counting
the
other
tools
and
equipment
that
the
employee
carries
him
with
you.
So
again,
we
appreciate
the
support
of
what
it
takes
to
do.
Our
mission
personnel
training
hours
on
calls
we've
run
19,000
814
cost
training
personnel
hours.
Ten
thousand
I
was
extra
duty
hours
being
468
for
total
30,285
personnel
hours
dedicated
to
that
aspect.
I
I
We
read,
we
are
assisted
in
raising
thirty
two
thousand
six
hundred
thirty-eight
dollars
for
two
are
no
electricity,
medicine
or
the
heating
assistance.
We
had
the
largest
dollar
amount.
That
will
tell
you.
The
dollar
amount
contribution
to
that
own
donations
and
we
came
in
second.
As
far
as
the
design
go.
A
lot
of
work
and
effort
went
into
that
with
CPR
training.
We've
talked
approximately
100
members
in
the
Black
Mountain
community.
I
One
of
the
things
that
we
started
pursuing
upon
the
arrival
here
was:
how
do
we
build
teams
and
how
do
we
build
continuity?
Working
with
all
the
department
heads
this
department,
especially
how
do
we
join
forces?
And
how
do
we
have
force
multipliers?
One
of
the
things
that
we've
done
with
our
force
multiplier
of
having
extra
staffing,
as
our
staff
now
assist,
with
their
SRT
team
and
response.
What
we
do
is
give
them
personnel.
I
That's
dedicated
specifically
for
the
treatment
if
they
become
injured
while
performing
an
SRT
mission,
but,
as
you
can
see
from
some
of
these
photographs,
it's
a
day-in
and
day-out
task
of
working
with
each
other.
We
appreciate
the
effort
that
is
provided
by
the
police
department
to
accomplish
that.
I
A
Just
mention
this,
this
whole
board
hears
a
lot
from
residents
who
live
in
this
town
and
outside
this
town
and
I
projected
that
I
heard
nothing,
but
praise
and
appreciation
for
the
way
in
the
direction
of
our
partners
thought
in
you're
a
good
man
and
chain
delver,
and
we
appreciate
you
in
all
Firefall.
Thank
you.
J
J
G
J
J
So
it
was
a
about.
50
people
came,
and
this
was
just
our
first
year
of
dealing
the
tree
giveaways.
We
have
them,
watch
a
demonstration
of
tree
care
and
proper
planting,
and
did
you
know
you're
supposed
to
unravel
the
roots
before
you
put
the
tree
in
the
ground,
so
there
are
always
native
species
that
we
give
away
and
talk
to
people
about
the
importance
of
the
native
species
and
what
they
bring.
J
J
J
So
we
were
very
excited.
This
was
such
a
success
and
we're
going
to
continue
giving
the
trees
away.
We
partnered
with
Asheville
Green
Works
to
get
local
trees
at
a
discount,
so
we
could
wisely
use
our
very
small
budget
from
the
town
and
I
just
like
to
encourage
people
to
think
about
what
would
the
valley
be
like
if
we
didn't
have
trees,
how
long
it
takes
to
go
to
40-foot
tree?
If
you
cut
down
50
40-foot
trees
and
you
plant
it
back
ten
saplings,
it
doesn't
really
equate
in
terms
of
your
urban
forestry,
canopy.
J
Of
course,
we
wouldn't
have
mushrooms
and
a
lot
of
what
we
do
have
here
in
the
ballet
without
the
trees
and
the
old
trees.
I
just
like
to
speak
to
the
fact
that
the
old
trees
really
have
more
value
for
the
environment
and
for
our
air
and
for
prevention
of
flooding.
This
is
the
one
behind
it.
The
we
sedation
that
I
wish
could
be
protected
a
little
better
and
that's
the
price
Mount
dawn
redwood.
So
the
details
are
in
the
report.
J
We
would
love
to
have
a
liaison
on
the
Board
of
Aldermen
and
so
I.
We
would
love
to
know.
I
would
love
to
know
if
there's
anybody
on
the
board,
that
would
just
be
a
liaison,
wouldn't
bother
you,
but
a
few
times
a
year
for
urban
forestry
and-
and
we
do
really
need
volunteers
for
those
who
might
be
seeing
this
on
TV.
Are
there
any
questions
for
me?
J
K
A

B
A
A
L
G
E
L
A
A
K
Going
to
let
miss
Jennifer
Tipton
come
up
and
do
a
little
synopsis
of
this,
but
really
what
this
is
is
something
we
need
to
be
able
to
continue
to
go
after
grant
funding
federal,
grant
funding
state
grant
funding.
This
is
a
plan
we
need
in
place
really,
which
hold
us
accountable
to
make
sure
we're
not
doing
any
kind
of
unlawful
discrimination
or
anything
like
that
against
handicapped
folks
or
anybody
else.
M
Good
evening,
so,
as
Josh
stated,
the
type
of
six
plan
is
to
help
prevent
against
discrimination.
Where
applicable,
this
can
fall
under
grants.
Request
for
proposals,
request
for
qualifications
that
we
send
out
and
the
tallest
six
plan
just
ensures
that
we're
not
violating
any
of
those
rights.
So
currently
we
we
do
not
have
a
title
six
plan,
so
this
would
enable
us
to
create
a
title
six
plan,
as
well
as
any
complaint
forms
documentation
who
would
receive
those
complaint
forms
and
how
that
would
be
handled.
M
A
K
B
B
Sixty
seven
thousand
dollars
in
cost
and
putting
it
in
Jamie's
can
concern,
because
once
it's
in
its
higher
maintenance
cost
and
talked
about
all
of
those
were
socks
this
morning,
and
he
said
he
would
like
to
have
time
to
live,
was
proposed,
come
back
with
some
alternate
ideas
and
those
could
range
anywhere
from
they
will
simply
fund
the
difference
down
to.
Let
us
do
just
certain
artistic
in
sets
for
brick
and
possibly
finding
a
way
to
help
fund
maintenance
over
time,
but
he
said
just
needed
months
to
come
up
with
those
provision.
Those
proposals
motion.
K
Speaking
with
you
at
the
agenda
meeting
I
talked
to
you
briefly
about
Vance
Avenue
traffic,
and
there
had
been
a
meeting
with
the
I
guess:
the
neighborhood
group,
if
you
will,
with
the
Chief
of
Police
and
lieutenant
Austin,
they
are
requesting
some
stop
signs
to
be
installed,
specifically
more
stop
signs
at
Vance
and
Terry
estates
intersection,
also
at
the
intersections
of
Vance
and
bridge
and
Terry
estates
and
bridge
speaking
with
public
works
director.
We
feel
it's
a
good
idea
to
also
have
our
traffic
engineer.
Take
a
look
at
its
minimal
cost
that
protects
us.
K
If
something
happens,
if
someone
were
to
run
a
stop
sign,
we've
got
that
backup
data
that
shows
that
those
stop
signs
are
okay
to
be
placed
where
we're
going
to
be
placing
them,
but
that
minimal
cost
is
probably
going
to
be
five
to
eight
hundred
dollars.
It
shouldn't
be
very
expensive
to
have
him
review
that,
but
this
would
help
with
I
think
the
the
neighborhood
group
does
feel
good
about
installing
the
stop
signs
helping
with
his
speeders
through
that
area.
B
K
I'll
call
miss
Jennifer
Tipton
up
to
give
some
information
on
this,
but
this
is
something
that's
gone
through
the
Planning
Board
and
what
you
have
before.
You
is
an
ordinance
to
create
the
town.
We
will
now
be
requiring
developers
to
to
do
a
TA
or
traffic
impact
analysis
on
certain
sized
projects.
I
think
798
trips
is
what
will
trigger
that
to
be
into
effect
and
I
will
let
Jess
excuse
me
Jennifer.
M
Good
evening
again,
so
in
going
through
our
ordinance
and
looking
at
some
development
projects
that
we
had,
it
came
to
our
attention
that
the
traffic
impact
analysis-
language
never
made
it
over
in
the
2010
ordinates
update.
So
we
felt
it
important
to
add
that
back.
Yet
so,
after
going
to
planning
board
a
couple
of
times,
they
did
finally
settle
on
development
projects.
Creating
798
trips
a
day
would
trigger
a
traffic
impact
analysis,
and
that
is
currently
only
on
town
roads,
as
do
tea
roads.
That's
required
through
d-o-t.
M
The
traffic
to
impact
analysis
would
be
reviewed
by
town
staff.
I
think
it
specifically
states
to
the
Planning
Director
and
then
would
be
brought
to
the
Board
of
Aldermen
to
vote
on
any
improvements
that
might
be
recommended
in
the
state
if
they're
required.
So
these
these
requirements
would
be
made
at
the
expense
of
the
developer
and
any
improvements
required
would
be
owned
by
the
town.
That's
why
you
all
would
have
to
end
up
focusing
on
them,
but
all
of
that
should
be
laid
out
in
the
ordinance
before
you.
L
A
A
L
M
G
K
M
L
B
A
L
B
L
L
K
L
B
F
F
L
K
Got
a
few
things
stuff
that
Jerome
just
to
bring
it
to
speed
on
some
of
the
projects.
First
I'll
say
he
will
be
observing
Martin,
Luther,
King,
jr.
holiday,
that's
coming
Monday,
January
20,
so
town
offices
will
be
closed
two
week
from
today,
an
update
on
our
River
Greenway
project.
So
we've
been
dealing
with
our
engineers
on
that
project.
K
We
are
hopeful
according
to
their
schedule,
that
who
will
be
ready
to
start
construction
in
the
budget
year
of
2021,
probably
July
with
that
being
said,
we
are
gonna
need
to
talk
about
during
the
budget
time,
some
more
of
our
match
money.
We
currently
have
about
seven
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
allocated
to
this
project
for
the
match.
That
includes
the
four
thousand
for
Buncombe
County.
We
will
still
need
about
another
four
hundred,
sixty
thousand
for
that
match.
K
L
L
I
guess
I'm
confused
about
a
value
management
when
you
can,
because
this
is
a
project-
that's
going
to
take
some
years
correct
and
you're
not
going
to
start
any
construction
until
budget
year.
2021,
that's
correct
because
it
just
process
that
you
have
to
go
to
her
with
his
granny.
That's
right!
So
do
we
need,
and
we
have
700,000.
K
L
L
L
L
K
L
L
It's
because
it's
connection
real
core:
it's
because
we're
going
from
dinner,
hang
on.
There
was
a
tax
or
some
of
the
idea
of
getting
very
sidewalk
up.
Why
Mountain,
Avenue,
right
and
and
with
a
new
hotel
board
is
connecting
over
to
veterans
floor
are
so
that
mana
with
the
exchange
commune
and
some
sidewalks
there
as
well,
that
you
would
have
a
connection
from
basically
Blue
Ridge
Road
to
downtown
that's
correct
and
that's
where
we
started
on
another
path.
L
K
B
L
L
K
Alright,
so
the
next
one
we
BR
they
got
better
are
automatic
meter
reads
so
we're
repeating
those
purchase,
we're
actually
going
through
now
with
the
Muellers
systems
on
getting
the
infrastructure
in
place
with,
like
those
the
repeater
towers
and
B.
So
the
wireless
communication
is
we're
in
the
process
right
now.
It's
picking
those
locations
of
getting
that
part
going.
So
that
is
ongoing,
but
we
remind
you
that
we
have
our
meeting.
They
are
Black.
Mountain
operates
a
plan
update.
A
A
Every
single
one
of
our
representatives
in
this
area
of
contact
with
senators
and
and
the
the
house
and
I
have
faction
actual
facts
to
back
that
state
was
that
so
just
want
to
clarify
that
one
point,
and
with
that
and
the
reason
I'm
saying
it
now
is
because
I'd
like
it
way,
she
turn
her
into
closed
session
to
discuss
personnel
matters.
That's
permitted
in
NC,
gs-14,
3.31
8.11,
a
six
so
move
on
favor.
