A
A
Thank
you
and
all
I'll
do
the
invocation
if
you'll
join
me
in
prayer
God.
Thank
you.
Our
mountains
are
waking
up
from
a
cold
winter
of
dormancy.
The
bulbs
are
breaking
the
ground
with
balloons
and
flowers,
the
trees
and
shrubs
are
budding
out
preparing
for
new
leaves
and
other
vegetation.
The
grass
is
turning
green
for
another
season
of
growth.
We
are
blessed
to
live
in
a
place
that
has
four
seasons
that
we
can
enjoy.
A
Our
differences,
assist
us
in
efforts
to
protect
and
preserve
and
increase
this
wonderful
mix
of
weather,
beauty,
individuals
that
you
have
given
us
a
chance
to
live
and
operate
in
in
God.
Thank
you
for
the
chance
to
serve.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
have
meetings
where
people
have
questions,
have
concerns
answered
and
try
to
do,
policies
that
help
everybody
amen.
A
Oh,
the
next
order
of
business
will
be
an
ethics
reminder
in
accordance
with
the
code
of
ethics
adopted
by
the
Commission.
It's
the
duty
of
every
Commissioner
to
avoid
both
actual
and
possible
conflicts
of
interest.
Does
any
board
member
have
any
known
conflict
of
interests
or
appearance
of
conflict
with
respect
to
any
matter
coming
before
us
today?
If
not,
we
will
proceed
to
public
comment.
The
time
limit
for
comment
before
the
Commission
is
three
minutes.
If
your
time
expires,
you
can
leave
any
questions
along
with
your
name.
A
Address
phone
number
or
email
with
the
county
manager.
Commissioners
are
not
expected
to
comment
on
matters
during
public
comment.
This
is
our
opportunity
to
hear
from
you
and
what
is
on
your
mind.
Comments
should
be
limited
to
subjects
that
are
within
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Commission
and
pertain
to
matters
upon
which
we
may
act
any
individual.
Speaking
during
public
comment
shall
address
all
the
commissioners.
Any
polling
of
board
members
is
inappropriate.
A
Persons
addressing
the
Commission
are
expected
to
observe
the
decorum
of
our
chamber
and
be
respectful
to
everyone
in
the
room.
Any
person
who
willfully
interrupts,
disrupts
or
two
or
disturb
the
session
will
be
asked
to
leave
the
meeting
and
the
Commission
deserves
reserves
the
right
and
deserves
the
right
to
deny
public
address
on
any
subject
previously
presented
to
the
Commission.
We
having
public
comment
tonight.
Yes,
sir,
if
you'll
give
your
name
and
where
you're
from.
C
We
call
ourselves
advocates
for
rye
cyl
and
we
hope
that
you
understand
that
we're
going
to
keep
this
alive
I
think
that
at
some
point
the
commissioners
themselves
will
have
to
address
this
at
some
juncture.
I
do
not
quite
see
the
board
of
adjustments
as
the
final
process
and,
as
you
also
know,
you
probably
heard
the
news
we
wish
to
present
to
you
a
petition
of
864
to
900
names
that
we
have
more
keep
coming
in
and
at
this
time,
I'll
ask
them
to
present.
A
C
F
C
Some
of
maybe
people,
you
know,
but
most
of
all,
I
want
you
to
think
hard
and
well
not
only
the
issue
of
this
development
of
developments
that
are
going
to
come.
Your
way
and
I
know
they're
difficult
decisions,
always
that
have
to
be
made.
Not
all
developments
are
good.
Not
all
developments
are
bad,
but
they
will
come,
and
we
understand
that
and
we
ask
that
your
well,
you
Institute
good
judgment
on
all
things
as
I'm
sure
you
will.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
G
Hi
I
just
have
a
quick,
quick
comment.
My
name
is
dr.:
Bernard,
Schechter
and
I
live
in
Riverrun
right,
opposite,
that's
proposed
the
development
and
I.
Just
have
a
question
to
pose
to
the
commissioners
is
something
that
I
don't
understand
and
I
spoken
to
a
few
other
people,
and
we
don't
seem
to
understand
it
here.
Is
this
proposed
and
I
don't
want
to
sound
melodramatic,
but
monstrosity
proposed
for
the
neighborhood
and
you've
heard
you
know
over
the
last
couple
of
months.
G
E
G
Don't
understand
how
this
developer
can
bypass
the
commissioners,
the
elected
body
and
go
around
you
and
the
next
time
is
going
to
go
to
the
board
of
adjustment
and
ask
for
approval
of
the
various
things
he's
looking
for
his
owning
changes,
etc.
Why
is
it
that
our
elected
body
doesn't
have
the
ability
to
make
a
decision
on
this?
Is
anybody
want
to
give
me
an
answer,
or
can
they
give
me
an
answer
in.
A
G
I
D
I
My
name
is
ian
booth,
I'm
the
director
of
the
nonprofit
sustainable
now
and
since
1999,
sustainable
now
has
focused
on
establishing
buncombe
county
as
a
regional
sustainability,
capital
and
most
of
us
in
the
room
say
that
we
want
a
sustainable
future.
Although
a
lot
of
us
are
not
exactly
sure
what
that
means.
I've
also
lived
on
the
old
Coggins
farm
for
10
years
and
have
been
watching
the
recent
activity
through
the
eyes
of
land-use
policy
and
what
this
process
would
look
like
in
a
truly
sustainable
community.
I
Our
current
land
use
policy
is
such
that
a
proposal
to
put
a
mixed-use
development
that
the
neighbors
strenuously
opposed,
obviously
on
a
pristine,
historic
family
farm
in
a
county
that
is
already
suffering
from
a
shortage
of
available
farmland,
LED
one
planning
board
member
to
say
this
is
exactly
what
we
have
been
asking
for.
In
that
light,
sustainable
now
has
organized
the
for
futures.
J
I
Addresses
the
reality
that
land
use,
especially
farmland,
will
be
a
defining
issue
in
public
policy
and
in
local
elections
from
here
forward.
One
that
creates
the
legacy
we
can
all
be
proud
of.
I
would
also
like
to
say
that,
in
response
to
the
invitation
we
sent
out
did
have
an
email
from
Josh
O'connor
today
saying
that
the
he
and
the
director
of
the
of
the
subdivisions
office
I
believe,
will
be
attending
the
symposium
and
I'd
like
to
invite
the
commissioners
and
other
members.
I
A
K
Thank
you
folks.
My
name
is
Ron
Haines
span
and
I'm
here
to
represent
an
organization
called
the
coggins
conservation
project.
I
know
this
has
been
a
difficult
proposal
for
a
number
of
people
and
the
light
of
it
not
getting
acrimonious.
We
are
committed
to
finding
a
way
to
bridge
the
divide
between
the
current
developers,
the
the
developers
current
plans
and
the
concerns
of
the
nearby
community
as
a
foundation
with
that
our
team
is
undertaking
a
campaign
to
support
the
establishment
of
a
large
conservation
easement
on
the
farm.
K
K
Some
of
the
features
of
the
planned
development
incorporate,
noble
social
goals
and
I
sympathize
with
the
feelings
of
the
members
of
members
of
the
development
who
have
told
me
that
the
land
cost
is
too
high.
But
while
I
applaud
the
team's
efforts,
I
question
the
appropriateness
of
the
project
scale
in
its
current
location
at
its
current
size,
the
project
will
assuredly
disrupt
the
character
of
the
surrounding
community,
and
this
can
happen
with
new
projects
but
having
SAT
with
and
listen
to
neighbors
and
the
development
team.
K
What
we
as
a
conservation
project,
are
proposing
as
an
alternative,
represents
an
attempt
to
gain
a
solution
acceptable
for
all
parties.
An
agricultural
easement
on
75
acres
of
the
northern
part
of
the
property,
coupled
with
a
significantly
reduced
development
scale,
would
accomplish
several
things.
First,
it
would
reduce
the
financial
obligations
of
the
developer.
K
It
could
also
show
our
ability,
on
a
county
level,
to
include
the
priorities
of
many
of
the
stakeholders
and
perhaps
provide
a
model
for
similar
decision
making
in
the
future.
As
the
coggins
conservation
project,
we
have
produced
an
online
platform
as
a
central
place
for
everyone
interested
to
get
information
and
give
input
to
the
effort.
Our
website
is
now
live
and
will
be
expanding.
You
can
find
it
at
Coggins
conservation
org.

A
E
H
L
Hi
I
am
Reverend
Lisa
Landis
and
I'm
going
to
give
kudos
kudos,
Congrats
and
all
that
kind
of
good
stuff
for
the
peg
funds.
The
public
education
and
government
funds
being
well
utilized
to
bring
some
more
prestige
to
our
community
with
our
government
channel
getting
some
more
awards,
and
I
had
wanted
to
to
talk.
L
I've
been
talking
about
about
business
and
corporate
welfare,
and
everything
like
that
and
I
had
told
you
about
a
grant
in
Transylvania
County,
and
it
was
going
to
a
corporate
business
and
I
had
seen
that
that
there
was
something
about
new
business
with
small
business
and
the
40
jobs
that
would
be
created
with
a
fifty-thousand-dollar.
And
it's
like
how
many
millions
did
we
give
in
credits
to
get
approximately
the
same
jobs
brought
into
the
area
and
how
many
of
these
jobs
brought
into
the
area
are
dealing
with.
L
You
know,
could
be
hazardous
materials
and
how
much
clean
it
clean
up.
Are
we
being
or
are
we
doing
with
the
corporates
corporate
businesses
that
have,
you
know,
fled
and
left
a
whole
bunch
of
junk
to
be
cleaned
up.
So
my
you
know,
my
plea
is
for
small
business
and
the
funding
of
small
businesses
and
the
importance
of
small
businesses
and
we're
talking
here
about
this
land
and
I
know
that
there
was
quite
a
few
I.
L
L
Do
it
and
I'll
tell
you
that
it's
April
first
so
I
was
going
to
say
that
that
there
was
a
whole
bunch,
quite
a
few,
of
the
government
employees
that
were
arrested
and
that
there
are
several
federal
indictments
coming
down
but,
like
I
said
it's
April
first
so
I
figured
I'd,
you
know
enjoy
the
joke,
and-
and
this
is
the
only
time
I
can
do
that,
although
I
hope
it's
not
the
only
time.
I
can
say
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
You,
mr.
chairman
members
aboard
it's
good
to
be
around
here
for
many
years
you
get
to
see
cycles
in
and
out
I
remember,
being
appointed
myself
to
a
board
of
gold,
2000
and
I.
Just
remember
all
the
stuff
that
went
on
about
property
and
expansions,
but
what
what
I
got
out
of
that
was
how
subtle
the
things
happened.
That
happened
during
that
board
process,
because
I
was
a
little
pee
in
a
big
ocean.
The
other
fellows
they
was
rich.
M
I
was
poor,
but
I
got
to
get
to
see
how
the
rich
work
their
money
talks
and
the
tour
gets
the
wall
and
I'm
bringing
this
around
about
the
land
conservation.
We
offend
in
two
million
dollars
a
year
approximately
on
land
conservation
at
that
time
in
goals.
2000.
If
you
remember
there
was
a
big
bud
that
bloomed
out
on
long
Shoals,
Road
and
now
it's
a
garden,
it's
a
Biltmore
property
and
look
what
a
monster
it
is,
then
the
woodfin
project.
What
happened
there
same
thing?
M
You
know
what
buncombe
county
is
helping
with
the
funding
in
that
triple
a
bond
rating
regarding
down
there
and
would
fit
what
I
see
coming
year
for
the
people
in
the
rightful
area.
There's
an
underlying
political
move,
that's
not
being
talked
about.
You
know,
I,
always
love
to
know
what
people
are
thinking.
M
They
would
like
to
say,
because
what
the
political
move
is
is
don't
tell
what
it
is
in
my
far
thinking
of
theories
I
see
this
move
is
something
that
politicians
are
going
to
be
moving,
dig
on
to
get
some
things
going
in
the
rightful
area.
What
we
need
to
be
doing
is
we
need
to
be
seeking
to
find
some
good
land
to
keep
and
preserve.
Like
the
Amish
people,
we
are
slowly
being
taken
up
by
buildings
and
space
and
things
that
really
we
could
do
without.
We
need
the
beauty.
M
We
need
the
heritage,
we
need
the
native
people.
We
don't
want
to
end
up
like
the
Cherokee
Indians
on
the
reservation
and
that's
just
about
what
we're
becoming
here
in
Asheville,
the
native
people
are
being
driven
out
or
driven
back
and
they're
dying
off
and
one
day
we
are
going
to
be
the
minority
and
you're.
Looking
at
one
I've
been
here
all
my
life,
but
let
me
tell
you,
don't
ever
think
things
some
fight
in
the
native
people.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
N
There
has
to
be
a
balance
of
progress
and
keep
it
in
mind,
conveniences
and
also
balancing
what
the
people
of
the
community
that
have
invested
in
and
and
put
their
life
dream
into,
so
keeping
those
two
things
in
balance,
while
making
these
important
decisions,
as
the
landscape
of
our
county
changes
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
O
I
think
it
has
already
been,
as
has
already
been
stated,
the
project
is
currently
slated
to
go
before
the
board
of
adjustment
on
april
9th,
it's
changed
trajectory
since
we
first
started
talking
about
the
project
formally
in
december.
Originally
the
project
was
submitted
as
both
a
subdivision
project
and
a
request
for
a
rezoning.
O
The
developer
at
some
point
decided
to
withdraw
or
table
rather
that
request
for
a
rezoning
and
see
if
they
could
come
up
with
a
project
plan
that
could
be
presented
without
the
need
for
a
rezoning.
That's
why
the
project
has
not
come
before
you
to
date.
Currently,
the
the
project
proposal,
that's
on
the
table
does
not
appear
that
it'll
need
a
change
to
the
zoning.
O
The
elements
that
have
been
presented
up
here
at
this
time
to
to
meet
the
the
uses
that
are
allowed
as
either
permitted
right
or
permitted
use
or
conditional
use
within
the
r2
zoning
district,
where
the
project
is
allowed.
So
that's
where
it
is
at
this
time.
The
reason
that
it's
it's
not
coming
before
y'all
is
our
zoning
ordinance
doesn't
allow
us
to
defer
a
project
outside
of
the
appointed
body.
That's
that
it's
supposed
to
so
since
it's
been
presented
to
the
Board
of
Adjustment,
the
project
is
required
to
go
to
the
Board
of
Adjustment.
O
If
the
Board
of
Adjustment
rules
and
either
party
is
dissatisfied
with
that
decision,
it
would
then
appear
be
appealed
to
Superior
Court
and
it
would
be
handled
in
the
court
system
and
I'll
just
know.
The
reason
that
we
handle
these
requests
at
the
appointed
level
rather
than
the
elected
level
is
just
the
sheer
volume
of
requests.
O
We
would
be
dealing
with
we're
looking
at
a
caseload
of
anywhere
from
four
to
twelve
cases
a
month
with
the
board
of
adjustment
and
about
that
with
the
the
Planning
Board
and
we'd
also
lose
some
of
the
the
checks
and
balances
that
we
have
in
place.
Currently
with
the
Planning
Board
reviewing
things
before
it
comes
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
and.
O
Original
plan
showed
some
some
commercial
uses
that
that
we're
not
allowed
within
the
r2
district.
The
current
plan
still
shows
some
users
that
are
commercial
in
nature,
but
they've
been
made
to
fit
to
a
definition
that
fits
within
the
current
zoning
ordinance.
The
original
plan
featured
some
380
units,
and
don't
quote
me
on
that.
It
was
in
the
high
300s.
The
current
plan
is
showing
around
281
total
units
on
a
property
size.
O
Uses
that
would
be
considered
commercial
in
nature
that
stick
out
to
me
at
this
time
is
r2
allows
for
office
uses
under
a
definition
of
campus
office,
use,
which
is
allowed
up
to
a
five
thousand
foot
footprint
on
two
and
a
half
acres.
So
it
does
show
a
few
of
those
office.
Buildings
I
believe
it
shows
four
in
total.
O
It
also
shows
a
school
site,
and
there
are
some
other
uses
that
are
could
be
considered
commercial
nature,
but
they're
they're
not
being
looked
at
under
the
context
of
our
zoning
ordinance
as
they
may
be
considered
for
a
bona
fide
pharm
exam
a
future
time
and
that
that's
allowed
by
state
statute.
All.
A
B
Just
I
do
have
one
hey,
Josh
I
have
one
last
question:
hey
sorry!
So,
just
following
up
in
the
last
point
that
you
made,
do
you
feel
from
a
SAP
standpoint
that
the
kind
of
quote-unquote
non-residential
aspects
to
the
development?
Do
you
feel
as
though
it's
clear
that
those
do
not
require
a
rezoning
misery?
B
I
guess
my
question
is,
if
you
feel
there's
any
regulatory
ambiguity
around
some
of
those
non-residential
improvements
that
the
developer
is
contemplating
such
that
they
may
require
rezoning
or
or
that
they're
clearly
within
the
current
zoning
classifications
and
therefore
could
be
built
without
a
rezoning
request.
A.
B
Jacket-
and
it
gets
kind
of
partner-
try
to
understand-
is
in
a
situation
like
this.
Is
it
purely
the
applicants
decision
to
sort
of
go
there
or
you
know
if
it's
your
sense,
that
you
know
actually
not
sure
that
does
fit?
That
definition-
and
you
know
you
do
you
have
an
opinion
about
whether
a
rezoning
request
may
be
needed
to
pursue
that
development
direction?
I
have.
O
An
opinion
I
don't
have
the
ability
to
block
an
application
from
going
to
the
board
of
adjustment
in
that
right.
If
the
applicant
feels
that
the
use
that
they're
presenting
fits
within
the
definition
of
the
zoning
ordinance,
the
board
of
adjustment
is
actually
the
decision-making
authority
on
that
I.
Do
review
the
applications
and
give
guidance
as
to
whether
hey
this.
This
really
needs
to
go
through
another
regulatory
pathway.
As
its
presented
now
I,
it
crosses
the
t's
and
dot
the
I's
that
are
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
O
But
at
the
same
time,
there
needs
to
be
that
further
discussion
that
we
require
to
go
to
the
Board
of
Adjustment
it'll
have
to
meet
the
definition,
that's
within
the
zoning
ordinance
and
that's
throughout
the
the
life
of
the
project.
So
at
any
point
it
no
longer
conforms
that
the
project
would
be
considered
out
of
compliance.
But
that's
something
that
can
be
brought
in
front
of
the
board
of
adjustment
to
require
the
developer,
to
go
into
greater
detail
about
that,
and
the
the
Board
of
Adjustment
does
have
some
ability
to
set
conditions
on
the
use.
B
Your
current
opinion
is
that
these
proposed
non-residential
improvements
are
consistent
with
the
r2
zoning
category.
I
mean
I,
hear
what
I
hear
you
saying
is
that
it's
a
developer's
decisions
for
which
pathway
to
go
down,
but
if
they
seek
to
take
it
down
a
pathway
that
you
don't
that
the
staff
doesn't
agree
with
you.
B
Could
you
would
share
that
professional
opinion
to
the
board
of
adjustments
that,
in
fact,
this
is
inconsistent
with
that
zoning
classification
and
that
the
appropriate
thing
to
do
would
be
to
seek
a
reasoning
rather
than
you
know,
approval
through
the
board
of
adjustment
process?
If,
if
that's
the
more,
you
know
appropriate
solution
to
getting
those
kind
of
improvements
consistent
with
some
zoning
classification,
we
have
that's.
O
Correct
and
also
say
that
the
the
way
that
is
presented
on
the
plans
it
matches
up
with
the
table
of
uses
in
the
r2
district
as
being
either
conditional
and
permitted
uses
it's
just
the
nuance
of
that
definition.
That
I
think
comes
into
question
something.
That
is
what
the
board
of
adjustments,
therefore,
but.
D
If
you
saw
something
coming
before
the
board
of
adjustment
and
in
your
best
judgment,
you
felt
that
they're
only
going
before
the
board
of
adjustment,
because
if
they
came
before
board
of
commissioners,
there
would
be
different
decisions.
Would
you
have
the
ability
to
articulate
that
to
the
board
of
adjustment,
yeah.
O
And
the
board
of
adjustment
doesn't
have
license
to
approve
something
outside
of
what
the
zoning
ordinance
allows.
So,
even
if
they
were
to
approve
it
and
it
was
shown
to
be
outside
of
a
use
that
they
were
allowed
to
approve
in
our
two-
it
wouldn't
be
a
valid
approval.
So
I
mean
we
could
stop
that
after
the
fact
at
a
staff
level,
and
we
do
offer
staff
opinions
throughout
the
Board
of
Adjustment
hearing
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
what
our
reading
of
the
ordinance
is,
can
I.
P
P
M
Q
The
powers
of
the
board
of
adjustment
or
are
those
systems.
Those
are
there's
a
state
statute
so
because
someone
asked
specifically
how
we
how
this,
how
this
can
happen
and
I-
think
it's
important
for
the
public
to
understand
that
those
those
are
determinants
that
are
made
by
the
North
Carolina
General
Assembly,
that
we
have
no
wiggle
room
around.
So
you
that.
O
That
power
comes
directly
from
north
carolina
general
statute,
153,
45.1
and
160.
A
388
is
where
we
get
that
that
guiding
authority
and
that
several
months
ago
we
approve
some
changes
that
brought
our
ordinance
in
alignment
with
some
some
state
law
changes
that
were
made
during
the
last
general
assembly
session.
So
it's
relatively
up
to
date
as
to
where
it
references
people
and
what
we
did
instead
of
making
something
that
our
zoning
ordinance
said
and
having
a
difference
in
the
state
statute
is
a
lot
of
times.
O
Q
Going
I'm
just
going
to
say
I
think
I
think
for
the
you
know,
citizens
that
is
it.
Unlike
we
elect
you
to
make
the
decisions.
Why
is
this
other
board?
Who
we
don't
know
those
folks
why
they
making
the
decision?
So
it's
just
important
that
you
know
that
the
answer
is
because
of
state
law
is,
determines
those
as
yet.
A
O
P
Chairman,
yes,
sir,
the
this
this
board
does
pass
the
the
County
Land
Use
Plan,
and
the
zoning
ordinance
and
the
idea
is
to
set
up
zones
say
what
can
be
done
in
each
zone.
And
then
every
citizen
is
entitled
to
rely
on
that
and
the
Board
of
the
zoning
adjustment
is
given
the
authority
to
make
minor
adjustments
from
the
ordinance
which
you,
yourselves
as
a
board,
pass
and
then
they're.
Also
given
the
responsibility
to
approve
certain
things
like
subdivision
applications,
they
can
set
conditions
on
them
like
access
buffering.
P
E
O
I
will
say
on
that
same
line,
I
believe
it
was
just
a
few
weeks
ago
we
made
a
change
to
the
zoning
ordinance
that
that
required
the
board
of
adjustment
to
directly
consider
the
land
use
plan
as
part
of
their
decision-making
process,
and
that's
something
that's
relatively
unique
to
board
of
adjustments.
Usually
that's
a
power
reserve
to
planning
boards,
so
they're,
pulling
even
more
direction
from
you
than
aboard
normally
would
and
will.
A
Count
on
you
to
make
sure
they
do
so.
That's
you
know,
I
know
you
will
I
think
the
folks
from
Coggins
farm
area
that
it
spoke
to
us
more
want
that
also,
okay,
any
other
comments
or
questions.
Okay,
thank
you.
Mr.
icahn,
if
not,
we
will
proceed
with
a
following
a
motion
to
follow
the
agenda.
I
did
and
after
County
managers
report
a
report
on
the
I
26,
ranking
I,
think
by
consent,
Sarah
motion
to
adopt
the
agenda
as
amended,
submit.
Q
A
Motion
by
Commissioner
Jones,
a
second
by
Vice,
Chair
frost.
Is
there
any
discussion
all
those
in
favor
of
following
the
agenda?
Without
addition,
say,
aye
aye
opposed
no,
and
we
will
follow
the
agenda
by
720
vote.
First
order
of
business
is
proclamation
of
child
abuse
prevention
month.
I
did
see
mr.
McGuire
here,
I
think
vice
chair
frost
is
going
to
give
that
Proclamation
bill.
If
you
come
on
down
to
the
podium
here,.
D
So
this
is
a
sad
day
in
my
mind
that
we
need
to
have
proclamations
about
this
earlier
today.
We're
talking
the
best
thing
that
could
ever
happen
would
be.
Child
abuse,
preventive
services
go
out
of
business,
but
it's
a
reality.
So
I
I've
asked
Sheriff
Duncan,
Angie
Pittman
from
DSS,
and
the
director
bill
mcguire
of
childhood
preventive
services.
These
are
the
champions.
These
are
the
advocates
for
the
children
in
our
community
Commissioner
Jones.
D
There
are
a
tremendous
amount
of
advocates,
but
what
we
need
is
all
the
public
to
become
involved
in
this,
because
they
can't
do
it
alone.
Sheriff
Duncan
can't
prosecute
arrest.
Anyone
that
he
doesn't
know
about
the
Department
of
Social
Services
can
help
children
that
they
don't
hear
about.
So
this
is
a
community
effort
and
we
all
have
to
be
involved
because
now
is
the
time
to
change
his
horrible.
E
D
But
let
me
read
this
Proclamation
County
of
buncombe
proclamation
of
childhood,
of
child
abuse
prevented
month
for
vet
prevention
month,
whereas
the
problem
of
child
abuse
and
neglect
affects
many
of
funk,
encounters
children
and
has
reached
epidemic
proportions
in
North
Carolina,
with
over
a
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
children
reported
abused
or
neglect.
And
whereas
last
year
the
buncombe
county
department
of
social
services
received
2291
reports
of
child
abuse
and
neglect,
including
forty
seven
hundred
and
sixteen
children,
and
whereas
preventing
child
abuse
and
neglect
is
a
responsibility
of
all
citizens.
D
Whereas
every
child
has
a
right
to
be
safe,
healthy
nurturing
environment,
free
from
abuse
and
whereas
community
action
is
needed
to
help
prevent
child
abuse.
So
all
children
can
have
the
opportunity
to
reach
their
potential
and
whereas
is
vital,
that
we
join
forces
with
child
protection,
team
of
buncombe,
county
and
child
abuse.
Preventives
prevention
services
incorporated
to
reach
out
to
parents
and
children
to
prevent
child
abuse
and
neglect
and
to
strengthen
and
assist
families
and
children
who
have
abuse
now,
therefore
be
proclaimed
by
the
Board
of
Commissioners.
So
the
county
of
buncombe
has
follows
one.
D
As
a
month
of
april.
2014
be
proclaimed
child
abuse
prevention
month
of
buncombe
county
to
that
this
board
does
hereby
call
upon
every
citizen
to
join
the
child
protection
organizations,
groups
and
individuals
and
observance
of
this
month
and
appropriate
programs
and
activities.
Three
that
this
Proclamation
be
effective
upon.
This
adoption
adopted
this
the
first
day
of
april
2014,
and
you.
C
F
Thank
You
Commissioner
frost,
as
this
commission
said
it
is
a.
It
is
a
sad
day
in
a
tragic
day
when
you
start
Child,
Abuse,
Prevention,
Month
and-
and
we
started
this
morning
noon
tying
of
blue
ribbons.
That
you
see
the
story
of
the
blue
ribbon.
Is
that
a
grandmother
in
Virginia
about
25
years
ago,
tied
to
blue
ribbon
on
her
car
after
her
grandson
was
fatally
physically
abused.
She
saw
his
black,
his
battered
black
in
blue
body,
and
did
it
and
that's
that's
the
tragic
part.
F
The
sad
part,
on
the
other
hand,
her
action,
the
action
of
one
woman
has
resulted
in
a
nationwide
campaign
where
they're
living
excuse
me
thousands
of
blue
ribbons
across
the
country
every
April.
Now
the
numbers
that
you
heard
are
still
staggering,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
good
things
going
on
in
our
school
based
prevention
program.
Hopefully,
a
lot
of
those
kids
will
never
experience
abuse.
F
They
learn
the
skills
to
avoid
get
out
of
an
abusive
situation
or
a
little
hand
goes
up
to
disclose
abuse
and,
and
the
healing
begins
they
come
to
us
for
counseling.
The
healing
begins
a
lot
of
good
things
at
DSS,
Angie
Pittman
and
the
folks
over
there.
The
under
six
that
you
all
familiar
with
the
program
is
so
many
of
the
children
who
experience
of
use
are
under
six
and
so
many
in
the
fatalities.
Good
things
at
the
sheriff's
office,
Commissioner,
Frost
and
sheriff
Duncan
have
work
together
on
that.
F
The
correlation
between
child
abuse,
animal
abuse.
So
a
lot
of
good
things
going
on
real
quickly
to
we.
We
kicked
off
a
new
program,
stewards
of
children.
This
is
a
child,
sexual
abuse,
prevention,
training
for
adults,
and
we
kicked
at
that
off
with
the
100
buncombe
county,
school,
counselors
and
social
workers.
We
can't
reach
everybody
with
it,
but
we
thought
we
could
be
a
catalyst
and
starting
with
the
groups
like
that,
and
then,
of
course,
on
an
ongoing
basis.
F
F
J
One
thing
I
would
say
the
public
is
when
in
doubt
report
call
call
us
at
250,
5800
or
250
5900
to
report
child
or
adult
abuse.
So
that's
the
message
I
would
like
to
give
and
I
would
like
to
thank
the
commissioners
and
the
county
manager
as
well
as
the
sheriff.
His
detectives
are
amazing
for
our
social
workers
to
work
with,
so
it
is
definitely
a
community
effort.
A
S
I'm
max
Tanner
I'm,
representing
your
public
relations
team,
to
tell
you
about
some
awards.
We
came
back
from
at
the
recent
NC
3c
conference
excellence
ceremony,
NC
three
C
stands
for
north
carolina
city
and
county
communicators,
and
it's
a
great
way
for
towns,
cities,
counties
and
even
some
private
organizations
to
get
together
and
kind
of
talk
about
current
trends
and
marketing
and
public
relations
and
video
production
and
that
type
of
stuff.
E
S
S
We
won
first
and
second
place
in
the
public
service
announcement
category
because
we
are
our
own
worst
enemy
and
we
won
first
place
by
partnering
with
HHS
for
video,
where
some
adorable
Boy
Scouts
and
Girl
Scouts
talked
about
the
importance
of
mosquito
safety
by
tippin
toss
and
second
place
with
partnering,
with
the
Council
on
Aging
of
buncombe
county
for
a
video
on
pritchett
for
description,
drug
theft.
We
did
a
short
video
for
recruitment
for
the
detention
facility
that
won
first
place
and
promotions
and,
as
you
know,
the
forever
free
slave
deeds
exhibit.
S
We
made
a
video
for
them
in
conjunction
with
drew
Reisinger
with
the
Register
of
Deeds
office
and
Deborah
miles
with
UNCA.
That's
getting
national
attention,
so
we
won
with
that
one.
And
finally,
we
won
second
place
for
buncombe
life
for
a
publication
and
buncombe
life
is
a
great
county
resource
that
you
can
pick
up
at
any
county
office
or
library.
Even.
S
So
so
these
are
words
mean
a
lot
to
us
because
we're
judged
by
not
only
our
peers
but
by
industry
professionals
from
across
the
country
and
we're
not
the
largest
PR
and
we
don't
have
the
largest
staffer
for
the
television
channel.
But
I
can
say
across
the
state,
we're
probably
one
of
the
better
ones
and
that's
really
all
I
had
to
say
we're
going
to
send
them
off
to
national
competitions
and
try
and
get
you
guys,
some
national
recognition.
S
A
That's
great,
and
that
goes
on
the
heels
of
being
the
another
department.
The
best
website
of
the
United
States
about
what
three
or
four
years
ago
beat
out
every
of
any
size
city
we
be.
We
were
number
one
beat
out
boulder
and
boston.
I
believe
for
that
one.
So,
congratulations.
Thanks
for
the
good
work,
DC
TV!
Next
we
have
a
county,
manager's
report
and
I
think
we're
going
to
recognize
sheriff
Duncan,
for
that
is
that
right,
dr.
Greene
sheriff
Duncan.
R
Well,
I'm
glad
to
be
here
today
because
I'm
going
to
get
to
do
something
that
I
normally
don't
get
to
do
when
I
stand
in
front
of
a
camera
and
that's
deliver
all
good
news,
so
I'm
very
thankful
to
be
able
to
do
that
today.
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
thank
Max.
He
takes
folks
like
me
and
and
helps
us
communicate
a
lot
better
and
a
lot
more
articulate
when
you
see
the
film
clips
that
come
back
after
he
does
a
communications
piece.
Sometimes
you'll
be
dreading
the
cinema
man.
R
R
There's
some
questions
about
that
and
I
also
have
some
things
that
I
want
to
bring
to
you
about
that
that
we're
pretty
excited
about
as
far
as
being
a
little
bit
more
accessible
out
in
the
community
and
I
think
it's
going
to
help
our
overall
mission,
but
before
I
get
to
that
I
want
to
bring
a
gentleman
up,
who
you
all
know,
but
you
probably
don't
know
him
in
this
role.
Mike
some
he's
been
a
long
time
businessman
in
this
community.
R
R
How
long
he's
been
sworn
but
Mike
took
over
our
Reserve
Program
several
months
ago,
and
he
brought
a
certain
skill
of
organization
to
that
program
and
our
Reserve
Program
is
where
we
have
deputies,
who
are
not
full
time
with
us,
but
they
want
to
carry
their
certifications
and
they've
been
through
basic
law
enforcement
training.
They
get
their
yearly
in-service
training
and
they
come
out
there
and
they
work
for
us
and
donate
their
time.
And
what
Mike's
been
able
to
do
is
to
put
a
lot
of
organization
to
that.
R
So
we
get
the
most
from
it,
one
of
the
things
that
they
they
picked
up
and
they
did
right
off.
The
bat
is
a
statutory
obligation
of
the
sheriff,
which
is
to
go
out
and
verify
sex
offender
addresses
if
you're
on
the
sex
offender
registry,
which
belongs
to
the
sheriff
of
each
hundred
counties,
you're
obligated
to
go
out
and
confirm
those
addresses.
A
tremendous
amount
of
effort
goes
into
doing
that.
R
T
E
T
Blown
my
cover
I've
been
around
for
a
long
time,
and
nobody
really
knew
what
I
did
with
the
Sheriff's
Department.
But
back
last
summer,
sheriff
asked
me
if
I
would
consider
taking
over
our
reserve
operation
and
try
to
put
it
together
to
where
it
could
do
something
to
really
help
the
county,
and
I
feel,
like
my
part
of
this-
should
have
been
earlier
under
the
good
news
part,
because
I
think
you're
going
to
find
what
I've
got
to
tell
you.
Some
pretty
good
news.
T
When
the
sheriff
asked
me
that
I
said
well,
what
I
would
like
to
do,
I
said
I
would
like
to
present
you
with
a
proposal
to
reorganize
and
let
you
look
at
it
and
let
you
go
over
it
and
tweak
it.
However,
you
want,
let's
come
to
an
agreement
on
what
we're
going
to
do
and
then
get
out
of
the
way.
Let
me
do
it
and
he's
been
gracious
in
doing
that,
supported
tremendously
that
plan.
T
Originally,
we
started
out
with
saying
we
were
going
to
be
five
ten
men
squads
and
assign
each
of
those
squads.
Each
would
have
a
sergeant
nine
officers
and
we
would
assign
those
squads
to
specific
duties
to
try
to
help
him
with
some
of
the
statutory
obligations
that
he's
got
to
do
to
take
that
off
of
the
paid
people
a
full-time
people,
so
they
can
spend
more
of
their
time
out
here
chasing
the
crooks.
T
Those
original
five
squads
were
one
to
help
civil
process.
One
a
headquarters
squad
I'll,
explain
a
little
bit
later:
a
jail
court
security
squad,
the
sex
offenders
squad
and
a
community
policing
squad.
We've
tweaked
that
a
little
bit
since,
once
we
got
going
and
saw
what
was
going
to
happen,
I
started
that
in
July
by
the
end
of
sep
tember,
he
hands
me
another
squad,
which
was
the
old
g
squad,
which
were
the
officers
that
were
fully
certified.
T
T
T
The
the
goal
that
I
had
when
I
started,
I
told
the
sheriff
I
said:
it'll
take
at
least
six
months
for
us
to
really
get
attitudes,
changed,
get
people
in
the
right
place
and
get
this
thing
off
the
ground
and
running
the
goal
was
to
try.
My
goal
was
to
try
to
build
those
squads
with
kind
of
an
equal
mix
of
real
trained
professional
people
like
some
of
our
retired
officers
and
then
bring
in
the
younger
people.
So
they've
got
somebody
to
work
with.
T
So
what
I
like
to
do
it,
like
just
run
through
each
of
the
squad's,
tell
you
it's
something
that
each
one
of
them
has
done
up
to
this
point,
that
patrol
support
squad.
Of
course,
what
they
do,
they're
fully
trained,
fully
filled
trained
officers
in
what
they
do
is
when
one
of
them
comes
out
to
work
to
volunteer
their
time.
They
add
to
the
impact
that
the
patrol
that's
on
duty
has
or
they're
there
to
to
fill
in
if
somebody's
out
sick
or
on
vacation.
T
So
the
squad
doesn't
go
to
the
civil
process
squad
that
squad.
We
currently
have
one
vacancy
left
on
that.
Then
March
was
their
first
month
where
they
had
nine
of
their
ten
officers
working
and
they
put
in
267
hours
a
time
out,
assisting
with
serving
civil
and
criminal
papers
and
subpoenas
plus
one
of
their
officers
represented
the
county
reserves
that
the
funeral
for
the
slain
officer
down
the
forest
service
officer
our
headquarters
squad
is
kind
of
a
mixed
mass
I
said:
I'd.
Tell
you
a
little
more
about
that.
T
That's
made
up
of
people
that
assist
with
the
Criminal
Investigations
Division
school
resource
equipment,
management,
training.
So
we
got
what
we
didn't
know
what
else
to
do
with
people,
that's
where
we
put
them
and
that's
a
very
strong
squad,
the
jail
court
security
squad.
We
decided
that
wasn't
really
going
to
work,
so
we
renamed
that
reassigned
it
and
call
it
a
checking
station
squad
and
assigned
them
to
assist
with
the
cops
teams.
You
know
they
go
out
in
the
community.
T
But
that
group,
even
though
they're
down
right
now
about
three
officers,
they've
already
verified,
addresses
on
135
of
the
offender's
out
of
400
in
the
first
quarter
and
finally,
the
community
policing
squad
again
that
squad
works
in
connection
with
the
checking
station
squad
to
backup
and
support
the
cops
teams
and
their
efforts
and
the
community
policing
effort.
I
want
to
tell
you
about
this.
One
little
incident
that
that
team
did
with
their
people.
T
We
had
a
business
out
on
hendersonville
road
that
they
felt
like
was
running
a
drug
operation
out
of
there,
and
we
took
two
of
the
officers
off
that
squad
and
they
set
up
and
running
undercover
surveillance,
and
we
put
two
of
our
uniform
people
on
the
other
side,
and
what
they
reported
back
to
me
was
that
they
were
their
efforts,
resulted
in
them
seizing
in
towing
six
of
the
company's
vehicles
issuing
charges
for
fictitious
tags.
No
insurance
operator's
license
possession
of
illegal
drugs
and
all
and
all
it
was
done
without
taking
one
person
off
patrol.
T
Well,
that
packet
has
in
its
three
things
the
sheet.
That's
on
top
is
the
active
reserves,
time
and
attendance
report
that
I
prepare
each
month,
and
that
goes
to
the
sheriff
all
the
command
staff
and
everything.
So
they
know
what
we're
doing
and
if
you'll
look
at
the
total
hours
for
the
year,
that
squad
has
already
given
the
county,
30
317
volunteer
hours
so
far
this
year,
first
quarter,
those
yellow
boxes
are
there's
a
note
down
to
bottom.
Tells
you
what
that
is.
T
If
a
person
gives
us
a
little
bit
above
what
we
require
them,
they
can
earn.
Performancepoint
there'll
be
some
things
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
with
that
later
on
down
the
year.
The
next
document
is
as
a
roster
of
our
reserve
squads
and
who's
on
them
and
all
at
the
present
time,
and
then
the
final
peace
is
the
mission
overview
and
operating
procedure
which
you're
getting
to
see
even
before
my
people
do,
because
it's
just
been
approved.
That's
something.
T
We've
been
working
on
taking
all
the
stuff
that
we've
done
and
put
it
on
paper
so
that
the
people
can
use
it
now
going
forward
and
work
with
it.
The
that's
what
I've
got
for
you
sure
if
told
me
I
couldn't
talk
30
minutes,
so
I
got
to
sit
down,
but
any
of
you
have
any
questions.
I'd
be
glad
to
answer.
Q
D
R
T
D
T
Would
say,
probably
seventy
percent
fairly
stable
with
the
thing
a
lot
of
the
people
that
are
on
that
list
are
on
their
/
hate
set,
but
they're
on
their
/
divorced
situations
where
they've
been
accused
of
molesting
a
child
or
something
they've
taken
a
plea
instead
of
dragging
a
kid
into
court,
but
there
are
a
few
that
are
just
real
thugs
and,
and
we've
got
some
that
their
address
is
in
their
car
in
a
parking
lot
or
lat.
Lon
fixing
the
woods
in
a
tent.
T
So
right,
you
got
a
mix
of
everything
that
particular
mission
was
the
one
that
I
started
with
what
four
years
ago
of
taking
a
group
of
the
reserves.
I
said,
let
me
take
over
that
we'll
see.
If
we
can't
take
that
off
of
you
and
that
kind
of
you
know
you
do
something
you
do
this
a
job.
They
give
you
more
work.
I
found.
Q
T
You're
not
supposed
to
tell
the
surf
city
of
it.
What
I
said
to
our
reserves?
There's
two
basically
two
things
I
said:
there's
only
two
reasons
you
need
to
be
on
the
reserve:
either
you
want
to
gain
experience
to
further
a
career
in
law
enforcement
which
that's
where
younger
people
come
in,
or
you
want
to
give
back
to
your
community
and
you
want
to
do
it
somewhere
other
than
just
writing
a
check
to
a
charity.
T
That's
my
reason
been
my
reason
for
serving
and
I
said,
if
you're
here,
for
any
other
reason
and
that
you're
here
for
the
wrong
reasons
and
those
people
have
done
a
magnificent
job.
We've
got
a
good
mix
of
young
people
that
are
coming
in
and
learning
and
we
got
a
good
mix
of
the
older
people
that
are
retired
got
a
lot
of
experience.
So.
Q
R
You
have
to
be
basic
law
enforcement
trained;
in
other
words,
every
reserve
officer
is
trained
to
the
level
of
a
full-time
officer
in
a
law
enforcement
agency.
They
have
to
meet
all
the
standards
by
the
Commission
it's
over
training
in
standards,
so
they
also
have
to
keep
up
with
a
yearly
in-service
training,
as
Mike
stated
earlier.
R
That's
one
of
the
reasons
we
tend
to
hire
from
my
reserve
unit
because
they
are
trained
ready
to
go
to
work
in
many
cases,
equipped
at
least
with
uniforms
and
the
and
the
bare
necessities
that
they
need
to
go
to
work
for
us
as
a
full-time
deputy
sheriff.
I
I
think
I
kind
of
hear
where
you're
coming
from
I.
R
We
put
them
through
a
very
high
degree
of
training,
is
to
be
there
and
then
we
try
to
train
them
specifically
to
the
job
that
they're
doing
for
us
in
reserves.
One
of
the
challenges
we
face
in
law
enforcement
now
is:
we
have
become
so
task-specific
that
has
technology
and
certain
things
that
accompany
it,
that
it's
really
hard
back.
Q
T
U
R
Big
chunk
of
reserves
also
Commissioner
are
folks
who
work
full-time
own,
a
business,
much
like
Mike.
They,
they
love,
giving
back
to
the
community
and
being
a
law
enforcement
officer
in
the
community,
but
their
full-time
job
is
to
profitable
to
take
a
full-time
job
with
the
Sheriff's
Office.
So
so
we're
very
fortunate
that
we
get
a
lot
of
those
folks
that
come
out
and
serve
their
community
law
enforcement
suits.
D
T
E
T
T
K
R
Mike's
done
an
extraordinary
job
of
lighting,
a
fire
in
that
reserve.
Division
and
I
also
have
to
take
my
hat
off
to
lieutenant
Kevin
Calhoun.
He
is
our
full-time
person
that
wears
several
hats
for
us
at
the
Sheriff's
Office,
but
one
of
the
things
that
he
does
is
he
manages
the
reserve
program
and
he's
Michael
yays
on
as
our
full-time
representative
to
reserves.
Well,.
V
I
want
to
salute
the
the
vision
of
this.
The
cooperation
of
it
I
mean
you
know
they
say
you
find.
If
you
want
something
done,
you
find
the
busiest
person
you
know
and
you
give
it
to
them,
and
if
people
don't
like
some
of
these
pretty
busy
guy
but
I'm
sure
he's
enjoying
it
and
the
cooperation
between
the
two
of
you
and
the
and
the
leadership
and
I
like
the
competition
I
like
the
the
ribbing
back
and
forth,
and
the
measure
and
things
like
that
and
I
can
only
see
it
doing
doing
great
things.
V
R
One
of
the
big
things
and
I'll
close
on
the
reserves
portion
with
this
you
know
I,
think
all
the
commissioners
are
familiar
with
the
success
we've
had
with
the
cops
teams
where
we
take
those
five
people
and
turn
them
loose
in
the
community
for
30
days
and
we've
had
some
really
good
results
that
have
been
reported
on
in
the
media.
Well,
having
the
reserves
gives
us
the
ability
to
have
more
capacity
when
we
go
out
there
and
work
in
that
particular
community.
R
Thanks
Mike.
Let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
move,
I
think
dr.
Greene
covered
it
pretty
well.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
we
found
ourselves
to
be
in
a
building
that
we
were
beginning
to
outgrow
and
the
building
had
some
heating
and
cooling
problems
very
expensive
to
heat
and
cool.
We
kept
hearing
that
common
thing
come
back
and
I
can
tell
you
today
I
was.
I
was
in
there
today
giving
an
interview,
and
it
was
about
82
degrees
in
one
of
the
rooms,
and
you
just
can't
regulate
the
the
heating
and
air
in
that
building.
R
Greg
Israel
came
out
and
took
a
look
at
it
and
they
started
to
propose
to
tear
out
that
duct
work
and
make
the
upgrades
to
the
building
and
by
the
time
they
looked
at
they
at
the
the
percentage.
It
would
take
to
fix
that
building.
We're
also
going
to
have
to
bring
it
to
code
and
put
an
elevator
in
it
and
I
think
dr.
R
Greene,
it
was
1.8
million,
was
the
price
tag
plus
we
were
going
to
have
to
move
out
for
nine
months
and
then
moved
back
in
which
to
me
is
almost
the
impossible
task.
So
dr.
Greene
came
forward
and
said:
hey.
Would
you
consider
moving
into
some
existing
County
property
and,
as
we
looked
around,
this
really
did
turn
out
to
be
a
plan
that
offered
a
lot
of
advantages.
The
first
thing
that
we
will
be
moving
into
is
a
county
building.
R
J
R
Year
across
and
is
already
a
county-owned
piece
of
property,
and
it
suited
itself
extremely
well
for
us
to
move
patrol
field
investigations,
our
sheriff's
community
enforcement
team.
Our
reserves
will
be
based
out
of
there
and
also
our
serve
program,
which
is
our
sheriff's
executive
resource,
volunteers
and
I'm,
going
to
bring
dr.
Kato
John
in
with
me
at
some
later
date,
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
serve
and
what
they
do
for
the
county.
R
This
is
going
to
be
good
for
a
couple
reasons:
it's
going
to
put
more
of
our
cars
on
a
regular
basis
located
out
in
the
community
out
in
the
county,
located
kind
of
out
from
downtown
I
think
that
people
are
going
to
see
an
increased
number
of
patrol
cars
and
that
Lester
patent
Avenue
and
all
those
arteries
coming
in
to
that
particular
piece
of
property.
It's
easy
to
access!
It's
easy
for
our
citizens
to
access!
R
There's
plenty
of
parking
there
so
much
so
that
I
plan
on
taking
appointments
out
there
two
days
a
week,
because
as
we
move
from
20
to
haywood
street,
probably
in
sometime
around
the
year,
I
think
as
sometime
around
november
december
is
the
plan
out
for
the
fourth
floor.
We
will
move
our
administrative
staff.
We
will
move
our
major
case.
Criminal,
invest,
gations,
Special,
Investigations
civil
process,
we'll
see
who
I'm
leaving
out
our
training
division.
R
Our
internal
affairs
division,
everybody
that
was
kind
of
left,
that's
not
going
to
Leicester
crossing,
will
be
going
to
the
fourth
floor
and
how
that
works.
Well,
one
of
my
big
concerns
to
dr.
Greene
was
the
fact
that
half
hour
sheriff's
office
lived
in
one
building
and
the
other
half
lived
in
the
detention
center
and
the
courts.
We've
got
210
employees
on
that
campus
and
detention
in
the
courts.
R
So
this
is
going
to
bring
the
majority
of
our
folks
who
are
in
the
office
most
of
the
course
of
the
day
or
in
a
location,
doing
their
work.
It's
going
to
bring
them
together
on
one
campus
and
I.
Think
that
gives
us
all
kinds
of
benefits.
Also,
civil
process
is
going
to
be
located
right
there
with
the
courts.
It's
caused.
It's
going
to
flow,
much
easier.
That
way,
plus
our
major
case
and
our
special
investigative
units
are
going
to
be
right
there
with
the
DA.
So.
U
R
Lester
crossing
moves
taking
place
right
now,
so
we
we
will
be
putting
out
some
PSA
announcements
and
putting
out
some
County
TV
announcements
and
pushing
that
information
out,
we'll
still
be
at
202
Haywood
street.
So
if
somebody
doesn't
get
the
information
and
they
show
up
at
what
will
be
the
old
Sheriff's
Office
will
still
be
there
for
the
next
eight
or
nine
months.
Ok,.
R
V
R
In
the
neighborhood
of
about
80,
85
and
I
hasten
to
say,
80
85,
because
we've
got
64
individuals
in
patrol
those
folks,
really
don't
work
out
of
an
office.
They
go
to
work
when
they
sit
down
and
that
and
that
Cruiser
and
they
check
in
service.
They
only
come
in
one
time
during
a
two
or
a
three
day
shift
to
meet
and
brief
as
a
group.
R
G
R
Date
now
that's
one
of
your
Commissioner
Belcher
they'll
know
we're
there.
They
will
see
the
cars
we
are
hoping
to
do
and
I
don't
have
the
date
with
me.
Today,
I'm
working
with
our
public
information
officer,
Natalie
Begley,
to
get
an
open
house
we'd,
really
like
to
have
an
open
house
for
the
community
and
invite
folks
to
come
in
and
see
the
the
satellite
portion
is
here
so
great.
X
S
R
Have
worked
with
DoD
about
getting
traffic
lights
and
they
do
an
awesome
job,
but
that's
a
tough
thing
to
get
done,
especially
in
a
in
a
high-traffic
area.
We
really
have
the
ability
to
go
to
the
bottom
of
the
parking
lot
and
come
out
at
that
traffic.
Light
at
the
lower
end,
land
of
sky
and
I
think
that's
probably
going
to
work
for
us.
Okay,.
A
V
I
had
mentioned
something
to
the
Chairman
about
that
we
might
want
to
do
a
little
I
guess,
maybe
a
commercial
for
for
the
prioritization.
We
ended
up.
The
bridge
project
ended
up
at
30,
37
there's
another
project
25,
but
several
projects
in
our
area
ranked
very
well
and
I
want
people
to
be
misled
to
think
because
you're
37th
that
that's
such
that's
a
bad
ranking
is
it's
not
necessarily
bad
ranking.
That
was
a
good
we're
on
the
list.
V
It's
it
was
a
great
I
mean
we
had
70
vote
here,
61
at
the
city
and
then
unanimous
at
the
MPO
and
everybody
coming
together
and
I've
just
wanted
to
give
a
little
a
little
shout-out
to
that
and
to
keep
people
encouraged
and
would
love
to
hear
you
have
any
comments
from
anyone
else.
It
was
on
that
committee
as
well
a.
B
Chair
magana
just
a
couple
of
other
thoughts
on
this.
So
as
we
talk
about
this
project,
the
I
26
connector
project,
there
are
several
different
sections
to
it.
As
commissioner
Belcher
was
saying,
there's
the
construction
of
a
new
bridge
across
the
french
broad
river,
there's
improvements
to
the
existing
I
243
west
asheville,
and
then
there's
where
the
existing
I
to
40
Highway
comes
into
III
40
on
the
west
side
of
town
and
so
in.
B
All
of
the
traffic
is
mingled
together
on
the
smokey
park
bridge,
there's
more
than
a
hundred
thousand
cars
a
day
going
to
cross
that
bridge,
and
it's
a
combination
of
local
and
interstate
traffic,
and
it's
it's
it's
a
people
feel
you
know
it's
a
real
safety
concern
as
well
as
just
a
congestion
concern.
So
so
one
of
the
really
good
pieces
of
news
was
that
the
new
bridge
component
scored
very
competitively
in
the
statewide
process
and
so
there's
a
very
good
reason
to
feel
hopeful
about
the
that
the
funding.
E
B
Construction
of
the
new
bridge
will
take
place
in
that
all
these
product.
All
these
big
projects
take
years
to
plan,
but
that
this
project
will
be
scheduled
for
funding
in
the
not-too-distant
future
and
also
the
intersection
intersection
between
I
26
and
I.
40
also
scored
well.
So
there
may
be
some
improvements
there
kind
of,
interestingly,
on
the
section
going
through
west
asheville
actually
did
not
score
as
well
as
as
actually
it
had
in
some
previous
formulas.
So
those
those
those
improvements,
maybe
further
out,
which
some
people
in
west
asheville
might
think,
is
a
good
thing.
B
Q
Q
We
we
want
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
according
to
the
rules
and
the
regs
and
in
and
the
engineers
best
thinking,
but
we
want
to
continue
to
drum
the
beat
the
drum
about
the
least
amount
of
impact
to
our
to
our
neighborhood
into
our
city
and
also
the
connectivity
part.
That's
a
really
a
big
piece
that
we
will
continue
to
advocate
for
the
city
has
is
investing
money
in
that,
and
we,
where
we
are
serious
about
that
as
a
community.
Q
A
D
We
were
actually
going
to
have
Eileen
McMinn
present
this,
but
while
eileen
is
moving
up
to
the
podium,
this
is
something
Commissioner,
Newman
and
I
have
been
working
on
for
quite
a
long
time,
probably
a
long
time,
and
we
are
very
happy
to
see
it
may
perhaps
being
realized.
Both
of
us
individually
have
benefited
from
micro
loans,
mine
from
a
private
citizen
and
brownies
for
Mountain
biz
works,
and
we
are
here
to
tell
about
it
and
have
thriving
businesses
as
a
result
of
it.
D
So
the
premise
was
we
give
a
lot
of
incentive
money
to
big
corporation
big
companies,
and
this
is
strictly
to
help
small
business
ownership
in
Buncombe
County,
and
this
is
a
pilot.
We
have
been
thoughtful
about
it,
prudent
about
it
and
are
very
anxious
to
get
it
going
and
appreciate.
Eileen
being
here,
Kelly
I'd.
Y
Y
Y
Y
This
combination
of
providing
loans,
along
with
the
intensive
coaching,
has
been
very
successful
in
overcoming
the
obstacles
that
faced
many
many
new
entrepreneurs
and
many
people
that
are
new
to
the
business
world.
We
have
had
a
very
successful
three
months
within
the
last
three
months.
We
have
closed
22
loans
for
a
total
of
five
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand
dollars.
We've
provided
200
hours
of
business
coaching
and
we
have
had
a
hundred
clients
in
seven
business
planning
classes.
Y
I
am
also
very
happy
to
be
able
to
announce
that
we
have
received
1
million
dollars
in
loan
money
from
the
Small
Business
Administration,
which
is
available
to
lend
out
to
entrepreneurs
in
this
area.
However,
everything
comes
with
a
catch,
and
in
order
to
access
this
1
million
dollars,
we
need
to
be
able
to
generate
a
15-percent
loan
reserve.
Y
What
we're
requesting
from
you
is
a
little
bit
differently
different
from
the
way
we've
been
operating
in
the
past,
because
we
are
requesting
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
Buncombe
County
to
help
fund
that
loan
loss
reserve.
However,
what
that
$50,000
will
do
is
enable
us
to
access
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
loan
money
for
low-income
entrepreneurs
low
too
low
to
medium
income.
Y
Y
We
also,
as
part
of
loaning
out
this
money
to
entrepreneurs,
receive
additional
money
from
the
SBA
for
coaching
services.
This
is
on
top
of
the
money
that
we
have
received,
lend
out
and
only
in
the
event
that
it
actually
is
lent
out,
and
this
will
enable
us
to
provide
one-on-one
coaching
services
to
the
individuals
who
do
receive
this
money
in
Buncombe
County.
Y
Y
Y
Q
Y
Y
Z
Let
Brian
answer
that
that
is
absolutely
correct
and
thank
you,
commissioners
for
having
us
this
afternoon,
I
again
I'm
brian
Griffin
in
and
essentially
when
we
first
put
a
proposal
together,
it
was
for
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
put
into
our
loan
pool
the
idea
was
in
and
having
some
side
conversations
and
initial
proposal.
The
impact
of
taking
50,000,
putting
it
in
a
reserve
in
accessing
$300,000
can
ultimately
allow
us
to
probably
do
about
25
to
30
looms
as
opposed
to
just
doing
five.
Z
It
got
say
you
know
$50,000,
you
know
our
average
loan
size
right
now
is
about
nineteen
thousand
dollars,
average
interest
rates
about
nine
and
a
half
percent.
So
there
is
a
good
variance
of
large
and
small
wounds
which
it's
a
nice
combination,
because
you
want
to
variance
in
your
loan.
Put
it's
one
of
these
things.
You
don't
have
all
your
apples
in
one
basket,
so
to
speak.
So
you
know
to
think
that
our
strategic
plan
was
that
we
were
going
to
do
larger
loans.
We
haven't
forgot
about
that.
Q
Y
Mean
if
we,
if
we
loan
out
ten
thousand
dollars
as
those
payments
come
in,
they
will
be
available
for
another
loan
right.
So
it's
not
static,
and
you
know
if
the
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
covers.
You
know
30
30
loans
or
whatever
I'm,
just
pulling
that
that
number
out
of
a
hat
as
time
goes
on.
That
number
will
increase,
because,
as
money
comes
back
in
from
loan
payments,
it
will
be
relent
great.
Y
Q
So
this
is
so
smart
y'all
down
there
that
thought
it
up,
because
not
it's
an
investment.
Now
that
will
look
that
will
pay
off
in
it
really
perpetuity
right
and
it
will
grow,
and
so
we
will
not
only
be
helping
25
to
30
businesses
today,
but
going
forward
to
so
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
a
brilliant
idea.
I
appreciate
y'all
bring
them
forward,
but.
Z
If
I
can
add
to
that
too,
we
are
generally
they're,
not,
I
would
say,
consider
the
last
resort
lender,
but
we're
the
first
place.
People
can
start
and
with
that,
as
we
build
over
time,
we
become
that
second
and
third
loan,
until
they're
elavil
to
elevate
themselves
to
a
bank
financing.
So
we
put
something
in
place
a
couple
of
years
ago
called
the
stair
step
loan.
You
do
small
increments
up
until
you
get
to
a
certain
cash
flow
point,
and
during
this
process
these
individuals
are
monitored
by
a
business
coach.
Z
I
mean
we
don't
have
to
continually
approve
somebody,
but
if
they
hear,
if
they'd
hit
certain
points,
we
can
see
that
they're
reaching
certain
you
know
they're
elevating
their
business,
where
we
can
continue
to
lend
to
this
business
as
their
repaying
back.
So
it's
it's
it's
more
than
just
a
year
two
years.
This
is
a
lasting
investment
that
can
continue
on.
Y
Y
Z
X
Z
Z
We
just
like
to
see
whether
it's
sweat,
equity
or
some
type
of
investment
into
it,
because
for
us,
there's
has
to
be
some
type
of
skin
in
the
game
for
us
to
say
that
they're
going
to
this
series,
so
there's
the
accountability
feature
so
that
that's
the
mechanics
for
a
startup
business
with
an
existing
business.
You
have
financials
that
you
can
gather
from
the
balance
sheet.
Z
Wouldn't
necessarily
say
we
look
at
a
tremendous
amount,
I
mean
we're
not
trying
to
create
the
wheel.
Reinvent
really.
You
know
reinvent
the
wheel
with
underwriting
it's
just
that
we
will
look
at
a
start-up
and
a
lot
of
times
they
won't
I
mean
downtown,
is
really
what
I
would
say
an
example
of
where
banks
don't
want
to
lend
and
where
we
have
a
plethora
of
loans,
that
from
the
restaurants
to
the
breweries.
Those
are
most
of
those
businesses
are
financed
by
mountain
biz
works.
Q
E
Q
This
is
what
they
say
they
need,
and
so
I
think
I'm,
just
getting
more
excited
as
I
think
about
it,
and
I
also
want
to
add
at
this
point
that,
while
this
is
presented
on
the
agenda
as
a
proposal
from
y'all,
in
fact,
we
need
to
thank
you,
because,
because
this
is
something
that
we
came
to
you
to
ask,
we
ask
you
to
bring
this
forward.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
dynamic
is
clear,
that
this
is
not
a
gimme.
Q
AB
Very
quick
comment:
Jamie
Beasley
Mountain.
This
works
on
to
your
question
about
how
are
these
underwritten
a
key
piece
here
is
that
we
we
look
at
deals
very
very
seriously,
and
there
are
a
number
of
deals
that
are
not
approved.
In
fact,
most
deals
just
like
any
bank
would
not
be
approved
unless
you
can
make
the
case
that
you
can
be
one
of
the
one
out
of
ten
who
can
be
successful
in
business.
AB
So
we
are
very,
very
mystic
about
who
we
approve,
but
we
are
able
to
approve
folks
that
are
outside
of
that
normal
boundary
by
having
this
extensive
network
of
coaching
that
will
be
available
complementary
to
the
term
of
the
loan.
So
we
have
the
same
underwriting
we
take
underwriting
as
seriously
as
a
bank,
but
have
extra
tools
and
flexibility
that
allow
us
to
say
yes
to
those
near
misses
from
a
BEC.
Do.
AB
AB
On
the
pre
loan
side,
we
have
other.
We
have
subsidies
that
help
make
that
affordable
for
certain
groups
of
people,
but
we
also
have
a
pay-by-the-hour
version
of
the
coaching.
We
have
a
CDBG
program
where
certain
asheville
city
residents
can
access
coaching
at
a
subsidized
rate.
We
also
have
a
full
price
coaching
available
as
well.
Well,.
AA
AB
Can
answer
that
we're
and
and
partnership
with
a
b.tech
in
the
way
we
look
at
this
is
most
of
our
pre
loan.
Coaching
is
when
a
BTech
refer
someone
I
back
our
way:
who's
ready
to
get
through
that
loan
pipeline.
We're
able
to
match
that
bar
with
someone
who
successfully
made
it
through
that
pipeline
as
their
as
their
coaching.
So
we
would
acknowledge
that
we
don't
attempt
to
duplicate
at
this
point.
The
further
await
the
folks
that
are
further
away
from
the
loan
table
or
don't
need
that
type
of
coaching.
AB
AA
Y
Well,
I
can't
forget,
I
would
say
no,
but
I
would
say
that
was
also
a
little
bit
more
complicated.
We
did
have
to
read.
We
had
to
take
a
hard
look
at
our
finances.
This
fall
okay,
we
did
have
a
liquidity
crunch,
our
finances
are
complicated
and,
quite
frankly
and
part
of
it
was
this
loan
reserve
issue
that
I'm
talking
about,
because,
as
we
get
more
loans,
we
need
to
have
more
money
that
we're
not
doing
anything
with
in
that
sort
of
that,
just
got
a
little
bit
out
of
sync.
V
Y
Some
of
the
coaching
was
a
problem
because
we
were
offering
coaching
in
faraway
parts
of
western
north
carolina
without
taking
into
consideration
the
costs
of
sending
people
out
to
the
far
reaches
of
Western,
North,
Carolina
and
so
forth.
So
we
did
reevaluate
that
program
from
that
perspective.
What
we're
talking
about
doing
here,
though,
is
closely
tied
to
the
SBA
money,
and
we
do
get
specific
SBA
money
for
SBA
loans.
We
do
get
specific
money
for
coaching
SBA
clients
through
the
SBA
loan.
Y
So
that's
what
we're
looking
at
here
in
the
coaching
services
in
this
program
will
be
cost
effective
and
and
they
will
not
be
hurting
us.
So
we
are
reevaluating
and
redesigning
all
of
our
programs
to
make
sure
that
they
are
cost-effective
and
done
in
a
way
that
will
allow
us
to
be
a
sustainable
organization.
So
the
program
that
we're
talking
about
here
is
part
of
that
and
it's
definitely
sustainable
some
of
our
others.
You
know
we're
revising
and
reworking
and
we're
no
longer.
You
know
when
somebody
calls
us
in
Swain
County
for
a
coach.
AA
Got
to
explain
to
the
taxpayer
why
I'm
going
to
give
Mountain
biz
words
50,000
winch,
there's
a
lot
of
business,
including
myself.
When
I
went
in
business
we
just
decided
going
business
and
we
didn't
have
an
opportunity.
You
know
just
you
start
with
what
you
have
and
you
work
your
way
up
as
I.
Look
at
what
I've
seen
here.
AA
Is
you
if
you
you
might
have
no
credit,
you
might
never
had
any
credit
and
you're
giving
something,
but
how
am
I
going
to
ask
the
taxpayer
to
give
you
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
you
to
be
able
to
get
three
hundred
thousand
miss
green
I
need
to
ask
you
a
question:
do
we
are
we
going
to
have
to
go
into
the
fund
balance
to
give
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
biz
works?
And
that's
you
know,
because
we've
got
a
budget
and
that's
that's
what
I'm
looking
at.
W
AA
Q
Q
She's
being
modest
right
now
and
and
might
happen,
this
might
be
the
first
year
and
you
know
21
years
that
was
she
has
to
go
into
fund
balance
but
I.
She
got
a
pretty
good
track
record
for
not
having
to
go
to
the
fund
balance
so
but
she's
just
being
modest
over
there.
So
I'm
going
to
jump
in
and
say
that
I
think
it's
a
pretty
good
bet
that
this
$50,000
will
not
just
going
to
be
it
go
my.
AA
D
Think
I
think,
in
a
broader
view,
this
commission
is
concerned
with
jobs
and
business
and
moving
people
forward,
and
I
think
it
is
and
will
be
viewed
as
blessing
to
small
business
ownership
people
who
have
a
dream
of
their
own
business.
This
is
a
blessing
I
think
we
can
pick
a
holes
in
anything
we
want,
but
for
people
who
have
a
small
business
and
want
to
have
that
realized.
D
This
is
it
I
am
thrilled
that
you
know
brownie
and
I
came
to
you
we're
grateful
that
you're
here
and
for
anybody
to
say
that
this
is
wrong.
Let
them
get
in
front
of
a
small
business
owner
who
lives
needs
a
leg
up.
This
community
is
full
of
people
that
need
a
little
bit
of
a
leg
up
and
if
we
can
do
it
and
reap
the
reward
and
have
that
fund
balance
continue
to
grow.
It's
awesome,
I
think.
Y
Y
AB
Have
three
statistics
so
we've
been
around
for
25
years,
we've
done
nine
million
dollars
in
loans.
We
maintain
a
one-percent
default
rate,
so
that
means
that
folks
are
paying
back
they're,
not
giving
a
handout.
That's
a
let's
see,
9
million
seven
hundred
and
fifteen
local
businesses
in
this
area,
and
that
adds
up
to
three
to
four
thousand
jobs
depending
on
how
you
count
it
and
when
you
count
them.
So
we
are
very,
very
proud
of
the
track
record.
We
are
lending
this
money
to
people
that
will
pay
it
back
by
our
track
record.
AB
B
Trimming
can
look
at
me
a
couple
of
coins.
Think
thank
you
as
well
for
being
with
us
this
evening
and,
as
commissioner
Frost
said,
we
did
reach
out
to
Mountain.
Biz
works
as
well
as
a
number
of
other.
You
know
there
there's
a
number
of
groups
in
our
community
who
are.
B
You
know
we
we
concluded
that
implementing
this
kind
of
pilot
program
with
mountain
visit
works
would
be
a
good
approach
for
us
to
to
begin,
and
so
you
know
in
part
and
part
of
the
conclusion
there
was
that
you
know
that
we
don't
need
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
There
is
excellent
work
already
happening
and
it's
been
happening
for
a
long
time
to
support
and
grow
small
businesses.
The
small
business
community,
three
mountain
biz
works
as
well
as
other
organizations,
I
mean
in
truth.
B
The
the
step
that
we're
taking
tonight
is
is
is
a
first
step,
it's
buncombe
county
playing,
frankly,
a
very
modest
role
in
this
overall
scope
of
work.
In
the
community,
but
as
commissioner
frost
mentioned
in
her
opening
remarks,
I
think
it's
an
important
step.
A
lot
of
people
ask
us,
and
I'm
sure,
I'm
sure
this
is
this-
will
resonate
with
others.
You
know
when
we
we
work
hard
to
bring
jobs
to
buncombe
county.
We
go
to
bat
when
we
have
great
economic
development
projects
that
present
themselves
as
opportunities.
B
A
lot
of
people
here
know
that
you
sort
of
have
to.
If
you
want
to
live
in
Buncombe
County,
you
got
to
kind
of
take
your
own
ideas
and
turn
those
ideas
into
a
creative
business,
endeavor
and
people.
People
are
great
at
doing
that
here
and
I'm
excited
that
Buncombe
County
will
put
some
put
some
initiative
forward
that
we
can
be
supportive
of
that
and
I
think
this
is
a
very
modest
but
an
important
step.
B
A
V
Yeah
I'd
like
to
mention
something
you
know
I
think
from
what
I've
heard
you
know,
there's
been
I
thought
in
my
mind
on
how
could
we
is
there
some
way
with
annually
that
we
could
help?
Maybe
small
business
is.
There
is
a
way
to
do
that
and
for
me
you
know
this
could
possibly
be
that
way,
but
annually
we
receive
you
know
Elise
the
community
development
grants.
I
think
you
know
we
just
receive
those.
We
go
over
those
things
and
I
think
from
a
sustainable
position.
V
There's
a
possibility
of
doing
something
like
this
annually,
but
in
having
some
bud
minister,
ated
and
and
but
doing
it
in
the
budget
process
and
I
personally
would
prefer
it.
That
way
is
that
it
would
be
which
I
guess
is
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
We
review
that
list.
In
other
words,
this
would
go
through
that.
Then
we
would
measure
it
based
on
the
performance
contract
based
on
certain
certain
merits,
and
then
it
possibly
be
something
that
might
be
sustainable
and
work
really
well
and
then
maybe
even
have
the
possibility
of
coming
back.
V
V
For
future
future
funds
available
that
could
be
leveraged,
because
if
we
do
something
like
this,
one
have
to
have
somebody
administrative
we're
going
to
do
that.
I
mean
we'd
have
to
have
somebody
administrative
possibility
of
doing
that
in
a
repetitive
way.
If
we
could,
if
we
get
included
in
our
in
our
upcoming
budget,
I.
Q
Like
the
idea
of
this
is
our,
as
has
such
merit,
they
were
already
looking
for
it
to
be,
assuming
that
it
has
good
outcomes
that
we're
thinking
about
ways
that
we're
going
to
think
about
this
in
the
long
run,
I
just
wanted
to
flag
two
things
for
the
record.
At
this
point,
one
is
I
mean
I
really
do
believe.
You
know
that
small
business
is
the
backbone
of
this
community
and
we
we
we
don't
deal
with
our
other
economic
incentive
grants
like
that.
Q
We
we
pretty
much
click
our
heels
and
jump
into
the
closed
session
appropriately.
So
when
we
get
a
request,
I
mean
we
are.
We
are
on
it
because
we
want
jobs
in
this
community,
so
I
feel
like
it's
only
fair
to
to
treat
our
small
businesses
in
the
same
in
the
same
way,
so
I
really
kind
of
see
it
as
the
different
I.
Don't
see
this
as
a
grant.
I,
don't
see
this
in
the
same
pot
of
money.
Q
I,
like
the
idea
of
the
budget
next
year
and
I,
want
to
I
want
to
think
about
that,
to
what
suming
that
we
could
get
outcomes,
but
I,
don't
think
that
I'm,
it's
it
is
out
of
I,
don't
think
it's
at
a
process
at
all.
In
fact,
I
think
it's
exactly
how
we
do
with
their
Commissioner
initiated
responses
to
community
needs
and
in
an
air
economic
incentives.
This
is
how
we
roll
this
is
how
we've
been
doing
it,
at
least
since
I've
been
on
the
board.
So
all.
A
Right
in
the
comments,
I
guess,
the
only
thing
I
think
it's
all
been
said:
I
think
you
got
you're
using
an
existing
program,
we're
not
reinventing
the
wheel,
we're
leveraging
621
right
off
the
bat
of
revolving
loan
that
will
even
go
even
further.
If
you
look
at
it
that
way,
you
have
one
percent,
you
got
a
track
record.
You
keep
good
records.
We
can
check
to
get
a
performance
account
from
you
next
year
at
this
time
and
it's
about
jobs.
This
is
about
jobs
and
small
businesses.
Jobs.
A
Most
of
our
jobs
in
this
county
are
small
business.
Anything
we
do
to
help
small
business.
I'm
all
for
anything
else,
call
question
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
by
Commissioner
Newman's,
second,
by
Vice,
Chair
frost,
to
approve
the
fifty
thousand
dollar,
grant
money
or
money
to
the
project.
As
described
say:
I'm
I
opposed
no,
no.
V
A
V
AA
A
A
Other
nominations
all
those
in
favor
of
Miss
birds,
say
I'm
I
all
opposed.
No.
This
bird
is
appointed.
We
have
agreed
by
consensus
to
delay
the
audit
committee.
We
all
instruct
the
clerk
to
15
days
reopen
the
application
process,
schedule
interviews
after
that
and
will
appoint
after
interviewing
the
candidates
we
have.
Next,
we
have
Board
of
Equalization
in
review.
One
vacancy
nominations.
AA
A
Opposed
no,
this
Lane
is
appointed.
Think
we
established
in
procession
no
need
for
a
closed
session.
So
I'll
finish
with
announcements
and
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
Commission

will
be
