Next,
we
have
through
the
ethics
statement,
in

with
the
code
of
ethics,
that's
been
adopted
by
this
board.
It's
the
duty
of
every
board
member
to
avoid
both
the
appearance
and
actual
interest,
appearance
of
conflict
or
conflicts
of
interest.
Does

But

to
adopt
the
agenda

printed
include
with
the
change
that
it
also
includes
adopting
the
matters
under
the
consent

All
those
in
favor
say
on
I
all
opposed.
No,
we
will
follow
the
agenda
as
amended,
unanimous
consent,
good

We
have
Little
Joe
Brown,
an
icon
of
our
community
and
good
friend.
All
of
us
Joe.
Thank
you
for
coming
here
for
a
special
presentation
about
a
new
book
about
Buncombe
County
I
thought.
F
E
You,
mr.
chairman
commissioners,
administrators
I
didn't
come
down
to
grunt
and
groan
and
moan
about
anything.
I
have
a
beautiful,
beautiful
lady
with
me
and
some
gifts.
Now.
I
must
inquire
about
a
clandestine
breakfast
that
I
have
been
meeting
with
for
about
20
years
and
we
always
have
a
BS
report.
That's
brown,
Stanley
Stanley,.
F
E
Not
been
there
lately
and
dr.
Sloan
has
substituted,
so
we
only
have
had
a
partial
BS
report,
but
if
you
all
could
persuade
him
in
13
years
helping
me
on
the
air
13
years
as
a
volunteer
and
cooking
for
hundreds
of
folks
out
in
big
sandy
mush
I
still
can't
forgive
him
for
leaving
out
there
he's
missed
and
we
will
applaud
him
when
he
gets
there,
but
not
a
standing
ovation.
F
E
We
have
something
for
you
that
has
taken
years
and
years
and
years
and
since
you
are
the
governing
body
of
buncombe
county
in
townships
and
municipalities
and
communities,
we
thought
we
should
bring
them
to
you
first
and
to
introduce
what
I
have
for
you.
I
have
the
author
and
she
is
a
very
lovely
vivacious
young
lady
who
happens
to
be
the
author.
Now
the
photographer,
who
is
an
intellectual
photographer,
I've
known
three
in
my
life,
June
Glenn,
Malcolm,
gamble
and
Michael
on
behalf,
but
Michael
is
on
assignment.
G
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
here.
Thank
you,
Little
Joe,
for
arranging
this.
This
is
a
gift
from
grateful,
Stubbs
publishing
house,
a
local
publisher.
Here
in
Asheville
we
have
a
lovely
book
shop
down
on
South
Lexington
Avenue,
and
this
is
a
life's
work
of
the
publisher
Mickey
dr.
Mickey
caviness
Mickey
cabaniss,
you
slur.
G
E
F
F
E
Else
before
I
leave,
I
found
something
and
I
would
like
to
share
it
with
you
before
I
leave.
I
know
you're
gonna
use
it.
Oh.
E
H
A
B
A
J
J
Well,
that
was
a
this
gentleman
young
lady.
That
was
a
hard
kind
of
act
to
follow,
but
it
reminded
me
one
of
the
vendors
on
the
mark.
We
got
a
lot
of
characters
out
there
and
he
was
telling
me
a
story
about
a
farmer
or
a
guy
was
wanting
to
sell
a
horse
and
advertise
it
and
the
the
guy
came
out
to
look
at
the
horse
and
it
looked
good.
I
mean
had
good
conformation
didn't
have
big
sway
back
or
anything.
J
So
how
much
you
want
for
said
two
hundred
dollars
and
he
said
two
hundred
dollars,
man
that
thing's
worth
five
times
yeah,
but
he
said
it
to
me
it
don't
look
so
good
it
just
don't
look
so
good,
and
so
the
guy
went
had
bought
it
took
it
home.
Loaded
up
on
trail,
took
it
home
load
it
out
in
the
pasture
and
and
horse
started
running
to
the
fence,
ran
to
the
barn
door
ranta.
They
realize
it
was
blind,
so
he
called
the
guy
back
said
he
sold
me
a
blind
horse.
B
J
Because
I
Hayward,
that
is
this,
this
first
shot
up
here,
I,
don't
know
the
book
you
got
I,
don't
know
that
a
picture
might
be
in
there.
She
talked
about
some
of
the
buildings
in
downtown
Nashville,
but
that's
a
Lexington
Street
Market.
That
was
a
start
of
1938.
In
fact,
we
have
one
of
the
vendors
out
there
now
in
the
retail
buildings
he
he
was
probably
ten
years
old.
He
grew
up
on
that
market
and
you
know
when
the
market
king,
this
picture
reminds
me
to
also-
I
don't
know.
J
If
you
guys
remember,
you
know,
hopefully
no
sir.
As
old.
You
know
back
in
1938
my
dad
29-28
83
years
old,
but
the
ad
the
tobacco
ad
they
had
I
think
it
was
a
Virginia
slim
to
said,
you've
come
a
long
way
baby.
So
this
is
kind
of
where
we
started
our
roots.
I,
don't
know
many
familiar
with
blood
cells.
He's
a
Fairview
farmer.
He
told
the
Asheville
citizen-times
in
1973.
He
said
quote,
we
sure
do
need
a
farmers
market
here
in
Asheville
little
did
he
realize
what
the
future
would
bring
to
this
area
area.
J
State
legislators
and
leaders
would
join
hands
and
work
together
to
bring
about
a
complex
that
would
rival
in
in
the
southeast
of
that
time.
In
the
summer
of
nineteen,
seventy-four
study
was
to
undertaken
by
the
united
states
department
of
agriculture
to
help
improve
farmers,
market
and
wholesale
food
distribution
facilities
at
asheville
north
carolina
to
replace
old,
obsolete
facilities
that
no
longer
met
the
needs
of
modern
food
marketing
to
meet
the
needs
of
farmers
and
grocers
in
the
area.
Farmers
market
and
a
center
for
wholesale
food
distribution
was
recommended.
J
This
would
involve
the
relocation
of
current
farmers
market
located
on
Lexington
Avenue.
The
picture
you
see
here
and
the
left,
and
also
there
was
a
Riverside
market,
an
old
tobacco
warehouse
located
on
french
broad
river.
The
decision
was
made
to
purchase
20
acres
on
brevard
road
to
interstate
40
next
to
interstate
40,
which
is
where
we
are
currently
located:
Buncombe
County,
Farmers,
Home
administration,
department
of
transportation,
a
grant
from
Appalachian,
Regional,
Commission
and
other
state
funds
contributed
to
developing
the
grounds
and
buildings
we
have
today.
Today
the
property
consists
of
36
acres
and
14
buildings.
J
This
is
get
the
slide.
Okay,
there
we
go
pay
out
of
many
of
em.
You
go
right
on
brevard
road,
that's
a
sign.
You'll
see
the
marquee.
Welcome
you
to
the
market.
This
is
what
we
have
today.
We've
got
retail
shops,
whole
shelves,
wholesale
year-round,
produce
a
garden
center,
restaurant
and
deli
a
farmer
shed
and
local
in
season
which
has
low,
Quincy's
and
produce
the
decision.
You
know
that
decision
was
made
to
purchase
the
20
acres.
There
are
three
kinds
of
produce
markets,
the
wholesale
or
retail
and
farmers.
J
The
WC
farmers
market
has
a
blend
of
all
three
wholesale
and
farmers
supply.
Restaurants,
schools,
hospitals,
churches,
independent
groceries,
stores
and
produce
stands
our
retail
vendors
sell
directly
to
the
public.
We
all
know
ash
was
a
wonderful
place
to
live.
It
is
also
a
great
tourist
destination,
our
retail
folksy
lots
of
tourists
and
coming
to
the
area
in
the
summer
and
fall
my
design
gold
is
that
more
of
our
local
people
will
come
and
shop
also
at
the
market.
You
know
take
advantage
of
that.
So
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
brief
overview.
J
This
is
in
the
retail
area.
You
know
our
summer
months
are
just
beginning
june
and
we
go
through
october
with
the
leaf
lookers
coming
up.
So
it's
really
crowded
weekends
are
really
special
that
we
have
the
garden
center.
Jesse,
Israel
and
Sons
garden
center
got
lots
of
plant
material
for
your
landscaping
needs.
Of
course,
the
moose
cafe.
That's
just
the
good
old
country
style,
food
and
I
used
to
be
in
sales,
and
when
I
was
out
in
the
county
the
place
you
want
to
go
eat
out,
roar
where
all
the
pickup
trucks
were,
so
that.
J
Stays
full
what's
in
season.
You
know
you
hear
a
lot
about
local
and
those
kind
of
things
being
a
wholesale
market.
They
pull
product
in
from
you
know
different
places,
but
it
what's
in
season
fall
our
seas
in
April.
You
know:
we've
got
strawberries,
ramps,
green
onions
may
again:
strawberries,
peaches,
June,
we've
got
new
crop,
a
wild
honey
flower
blueberries,
which
I
think.
Hopefully
you
guys
have
some
some
in
front
of
you-
can
sample
peaches,
tomatoes,
greasy
beans
and
half
runners.
J
Those
are
local
specialties,
eggplant,
peppers,
sweet
corn
Lodi,
which
is
the
early
cooking
apple
July,
freestone
peaches,
will
start
coming
in.
Of
course,
we've
got
watermelons
cantaloupes
blackberry
squash
could
have
brought
some
blackberries
today
too,
but
I
think
you
know
once
you
come
out
and
shop
entice
you
to
come
out
and
do
that
August
we
got
muscadine,
Scuppernong
grapes,
apples,
lots
of
varieties
there,
honeycrisp,
also
sweet
potatoes
and
Irish
potatoes
coming
in
that
time
of
year,
sep
tember
will
again
25
varieties
of
apples
and
again
sweet
potatoes
october,
the
pink
lady
apples.
Those
are
good.
J
Out
our
year
and
it's
farmers
will
come,
the
farmers
will
come
into
the
market.
You
know
we're
a
state
we're
part
of
the
Department
of
Agriculture,
but
our
funding.
Some
of
our
funding
comes
from
the
legislature,
but
we
all
know
the
tight
economic
times
we're
in,
but
we're
probably
about
eighty
eighty-five
percent
receipt
supported,
so
people
that
use
the
market
are
paying
to
use
it.
So
we're
not.
You
know
a
big
big
burden
on
the
tax
revenue.
J
This,
our
farmer
shed
North
Carolina
farmers
only
so
they
can
set
up
and
sell
their
produce
so
they'll
come
in
and
bring
in
by
the
truck
and
sell
it
by
the
bushel
or
half
bushel.
You
know
in
economic
times.
In
my
mind,
the
economy
is
kind
of
broken
down
to
essentials
and
extras.
When
fuel
prices
go
up,
we
see
we
kind
of
cut
back
on
our
budget
on
buying
extra
things
going
to
movies
and
those
kind
of
things,
but
you
know
my
mom's.
J
J
This
is
just
our
drive-through
truck
shed.
This
is
the
whole
sorry
again
supplying
restaurants
and
churches
and
schools.
Small
deals
building
where
you
get
smaller
quantity
items
year-round.
Of
course,
these
are
peaches.
We've
got
peaches
in
now.
If
you've
been
down
that
lower
watermelon
shed
area,
that's
that
area
down
there
and
that
barn.
That's
that's
the
Biltmore
property
over
there,
so
we're
good
neighbors
with
them.
It's
a
nice
place
to
be
again.
J
K
J
You've
been
out
there
for
that
yeah,
that's
enjoyable
time
the
herb
festival
this
year.
We
that's
been
going
on,
probably
for
you
know,
15
years
or
more,
but
this
year
our
traffic
count.
We
counted
like
33,000
people
came
through
during
the
three-day
period,
friday,
saturday
and
sunday,
so
that
become
quite
quite
a
big
event
and
a
draw.
Of
course.
J
We
do
like
to
do
lots
of
events
for
the
you
know:
community
we
have
watermelon
day,
we've
got
apple
day
tomato
sampling
day,
so
we
do
a
lot
of
events
to
try
to
bring
in
the
community
local
community.
So
that's
a
watermelon
eating
seed,
spitting
contest
and
there's
the
watermelon
Queen
back
there
and
then,
of
course,
we
finish
out
the
year
with
Christmas
trees,
and
so
we
probably
have
one
of
the
largest
Christmas
tree
lots
in
Western,
North
Carolina.
J
You
know
in
the
area,
so
this
is
this
is
where
we're
at
this
is
our
you
know,
web
web
site
information
that
you
can
go
on
our
website
and
look
up
information
for
events.
That's
where
we're
located,
and
we
welcome
even
think
that
we're
part
of
the
community
and
I
know
growing
up
as
a
kid.
My
grandparents
are
from
Jackson
County.
We
come
up
to
visit
and
going
towards
franklin.
J
F
B
J
B
A
L
So
the
people
standing
behind
me
are
the
folks
that
do
this
work
day
in
and
day
out,
and
we
appreciate
their
commitment
to
turning
around
this
epidemic
that
we're
facing
in
our
and
our
in
our
community
in
our
country
in
our
world,
which
is
hiv/aids.
So
I
would
like
to
read
this
Proclamation
and
then
afterwards.
I
will
turn
it
over
to
these
wonderful
folks
to
nonlinear
dissolve
in
to
say
a
few
words.
A
I
I'm
Jennifer
poor
I'm
a
volunteer
with
Western
North
case
project
wing
cap.
On
june,
the
24th
at
the
abit
papasan
eagle
street,
we're
having
a
our
national
HIV
testing
day.
There
is
from
four
to
seven
we're
going
to
have
gifts
and
information
and,
just
like
I
said,
free
testing
for
all
I'll
just
come
and
get
informed,
and
if
you
want
to
do
your
family
as
a
favor,
do
your
community
a
favor,
please
get
informed
talk
to
your
children.
I'm
a
mother
of
a
daughter,
who's,
hiv-positive
I
lost
a
grandchild
to
AIDS.
I
M
You
distinguish
commission
members,
my
name
is
Michael
harney
I
work
with
the
Western
North
Carolina
AIDS
Project,
and
have
been
in
this
field
since
1993.
I
certainly
would
encourage
people
to
know
their
status,
as
we
heard
in
the
proclamation
about
250,000
people
in
this
country,
don't
know
their
HIV
status
and
through
them,
more
infections
occur.
The
Centers
for
Disease,
Control
and
Prevention
has
some
great
and
very
easy
to
read
information.
It
is
important
that
we
educate
our
young
people
when
we
look
at
some
of
the
STD
transmissions
in
this
state.
M
75%
of
chlamydia
cases
occur
among
people
who
are
under
24
years
of
age
about
sixty
six
percent
of
gonorrhea
cases
occur
among
people
who
are
under
24
years
of
age,
and
we
know
that
that
HIV
is
transmitted
in
the
same
ways
that
those
two
are
transmitted.
So
if
you
don't
know
your
status,
please
remember
that
there
are
free
and
confidential
places
to
get
tested
in
Buncombe
County,
and
if
it's,
this
is
not
the
county
in
which
to
get
tested.
We
encourage
everybody
in
North
Carolina
to
find
a
County
where
they're
comfortable
getting
tested.
M
N
Thank
you
very
much
for
making
this
a
proclamation
for
buncombe
county.
We
do
want
to
bring
awareness,
and
we
appreciate
your
support
in
this
Proclamation.
We
do
have
HIV
testing
available
at
the
health
department
monday
through
fridays.
It's
always
free
and
people
can
come
in
at
any
time.
It
is
walk
in
or
they
can
make
an
appointment
if
they
prefer
to.
We
want
to
also
appreciate
our
partners
in
the
community
who
bring
awareness
and
education
about
HIV.
So
thank
you
again
to
win
cap
and
their
help
and.
N

You've
gotten
HIV
tested,
then
you
know
your
HIV
status,
so
it's
not
something
that
would
lie
dormant
in
the
body
in
when
we
could
test
it
through
blood.
It's
it
shows
nine
days
ago
in
anything
earlier.
The
technology
is
that
that
advanced
now
in
North,
Carolina
there's
also
a
needle
exchange
program
of
Asheville
that
occurs
here
and
the
fact
is
we
exchange
about
two
thousand
needles
a
month
in
North
Carolina
in
in
Buncombe
County.
A
C
Well,
we
know
these
folks
are
award-winning
and
on
the
cutting
edge
and
really
special
to
us
and
I.
Don't
and
I
wanted
to
say
one
of
the
funnest
things
I
do.
But
I
don't
guess
that's
good
english,
one
of
the
best
things
that
you
get
every
month
is
this
some
newsletter
from
these
good
folks.
That
says,
let's
go
out
and
play
or
come
out
and
play
and
always
look
to
see,
what's
happening
with
our
parks,
recreation
and
greenway.
C
Folks,
they're
super
until
I
can
say
what
they
do
is
forefront
for
parks,
recreation
and
greenway
folks
across
the
the
state,
and
I'm
going
to
read
this
Proclamation
and
I'm
hoping
when
they
make
some
comments
that
they
might
say
something
about
a
little
meeting
that
we
had
last
friday
that
some
of
us
attended
that
might
be
exciting.
It's
given
you
a
little.
C
Expansion
of
the
local
tax
base,
increased
tourism
and
the
attraction
and
retention
of
businesses
and
crime
reduction,
and
whereas
parks,
recreations
and
greenways
and
recreation
areas
are
fundamental
to
the
environmental
well-being
of
our
community
and
whereas
parks,
greenways
and
natural
recreation
areas.
Improved
water
quality,
protect
groundwater,
prevent
flooding,
improve
the
quality
of
the
air.
C
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
by
the
Board
of
Commissioners
for
the
day
for
the
county
of
buncombe,
that
the
month
of
July
be
proclaimed,
parks,
greenways
and
Recreation
month
in
Buncombe
County,
and
that
this
board
encourages
all
Buncombe
County
citizens
to
get
out
and
enjoy
the
wonderful
parks
in
our
county
and
to
learn
more
about
the
recreation
programs
offered
and
the
greenways
master
plan
currently
underway,
and
that
I
recommend
mr.
chairman,
that
we
adopt
this
Proclamation.
Second.
A
F
O
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
support
of
parks
and
recreation
and
greenways
I'm,
just
going
to
say
a
little
bit
and
then
let
Jessica
steve
romer
tell
you
about
the
special
program
that
was
last
Friday.
We
want
to
invite
everybody
to
get
out.
Come
out
visit,
the
parks
come
out
visit,
the
five-county
pools,
get
active,
see
the
county
and
come
out
and
play
hi.
K
I'm
Jessica
steve
romer
I'm,
the
fund
development
coordinator
for
Buncombe
County
Parks
I,
worked
closely
with
Lucy
crown
she's
our
parks
and
groom.
My
planner
and
many
of
you
were
at
our
kickoff
last
week
in
2008
we
brought
our
comprehensive
Park
some
parks
master
plan
with
a
subchapter
of
the
Greenway
master
plan
to
this
board
for
approval,
and
it
was
approved.
K
It
was
a
very
rough,
basically
just
a
document
outlining
why
we
need
greenways
in
a
very
basic
map
since
that
time,
since
Lucy
and
I
have
been
hired
on,
we
have
been
gathering
resources
and
formula
partnerships
to
start
an
actual,
an
update
of
the
green,
my
master
plan.
This
will
be
a
much
larger,
comprehensive,
countywide
Greenway
plan,
which
will
look
at
all
of
the
existing
master
plans
done
by
I.
K
Think
there's
one
for
almost
every
municipality
in
Buncombe
County
and
some
of
the
plans
that
have
been
done
by
land
of
sky
to
create
a
comprehensive
plan
that
will
link
basically
create
an
alternative
and
sustainable
transportation
plan.
So
this
was
going
to
be
a
very,
very,
very
long
process,
but
in
fruition
we
hope
that
you'll
be
able
to
work
with
the
transit
system
and
your
bike
and
your
foot
and
be
able
to
walk
from
one
area,
walk,
recycle
from
one
area,
the
county
to
the
other.
K
So
last
Friday
we
had
our
kickoff
to
the
master
plan
at
the
Arboretum.
We
had
about
I
think
90
attendees,
and
we
had
we
heard
from
watch
it
officials
from
almost
every
miss
a
pallet
E
and
from
the
county
commissioners.
So
just
we're
gonna
have
lots
of
public
meetings
throughout
this
planning
process.
You'll
be
kept
very
abreast
if
you're
interested
in
learning
more,
please
contact
our
department
other
than
that.
That's
all
we
have
to
say.
A
Thank
you,
ladies
we're
looking
forward
to
following
the
progress
of
the
master
plan,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
energy
and
a
lot
of
interest
with
all
of
our
municipalities
and
its
most
of
you
know.
There
are
six
municipalities
within
Buncombe,
County
and
I.
Usually,
when
I
give
a
talk,
I'll
usually
give
a
treat,
whoever
it
could
name
them
all,
but
they
we
know
about
Asheville,
but
there
are
five
other
ones
and
I'll
leave
that
to
another
day.
I
A
P
Board
members:
this
has
been
a
long
process.
We
we
started
developing
this
ordinance
back
its
back
really
back
in
the
winter,
brought
it
to
the
Planning
Board,
and
at
that
time
a
planning
board
went
through
brought
in
some
engineers.
We
obviously
have
an
engineer
on
the
on
the
Planning
Board
and
went
through
and
took
a
long
hard
look
about
what
we
need
to
do
about
upgrading
our
ordinances.
It
reflects
the
two
retaining
walls.
I
want
to
go
through
a
brief
PowerPoint
here.
P
P
Think
when
you
look
at
at
retaining
walls,
is
that
obviously
retaining
walls
usually
have
something
on
top
of
them,
or
they
usually
have
something
in
front
of
them
or
both
so
obviously,
there's
a
safety
factor
there
that
we
want
to
take
a
look
at
that.
If
there
are
problems,
then
we
don't
want
to
follow
across
property
lines,
or
you
know
we
don't
want.
P
Whatever
is
on
top
of
that,
if
you
start
having
structural
problems
also,
obviously
you
the
retaining
walls,
come
into
areas
where
they're
steep
slopes
and
then
the
current
building
code
in
North
Carolina
addresses
retaining
walls
and
a
commercial
establishment.
It
starts
at
five
feet
that
you've
got
to
have
an
engineer
and
at
four
feet
on
Reza
intial.
You
got
to
have
an
engineer
just
to
basically
design
the
wall.
We've
incorporated
another
additive
that
I'll
talk
about
here
in
a
few
minutes
to
to
the
building
code
and
then,
obviously
large
retaining
walls.
P
P
First
of
all
we
looked
at
at
terracing.
Obviously
we
want
to
stay
away
from
a
solid
retaining
wall
that
is
82
feet
in
height.
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
when
you
look
at
terracina,
it
makes
the
wall
more
structurally
sound.
You
can
do
maintenance
on
the
wall
a
lot
easier.
What
we're
recommending
that
in
any
any
retaining
wall?
That's
over
20
foot
high
has
to
be
stepped
back
at
20
foot.
It
has
to
be
step
back,
10
foot
and
then
intervals
after
that
every
15
feet.
P
P
When
you,
when
we
look
at
landscaping
at
20
foot,
any
wall
that
is
20
foot
high
and
is
within
a
hundred
feet
of
the
road,
whether
its
private
or
public,
has
to
be
landscaped.
If
it's
further
back,
then
the
hundred
feet
in
any
wall
that
is
at
30
foot
cumulative
height
has
to
be
landscaped.
We
want
to
start
out
at
the
bottom
and
have
a
combination
of
trees
and
bushes
across
the
front
of
the
training
wall
and
then
at
the
setback
at
that
ten-foot
intervals.
P
Wherever
that
may
be,
we
want
a
combination
of
bushes
and
we
also
want
on
what
binds
at
the
20
foot
height.
We
also
want
at
least
50
feet
of
the
wall,
to
have
a
structure
that
that
binds
can
run
up
and
then
once
the
retaining
wall
gets
30
feet
in
cumulative
height,
we
want
75
feet
or
75%
rather
of
the
wall,
to
have
some
kind
of
vegetative
support
that
will
allow
vegetation
to
come
up
and
also
hide
hide.
The
wall.
P
Not
having
a
whole
lot
of
luck,
you
also
when
you
look
at
the
wall
that
anytime,
that
there
is
a
wall.
That's
over
10
foot
high.
We
want
a
four-foot
fence.
If
there's
within
a
road
within
ten
foot
of
the
wall,
we
wanted
to
have
a
guardrail.
So
obviously
we
this
is
a
safety
factor
that
we
want
to
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
problems
with
whether
it's
children
or
cars
or
whatever,
to
to
interfere
and
come
up
with
it
of
the
wall.
P
What
we've
seen
especially
on
the
highway
on
the
wall,
that's
on
74,
is
that
you'll
have
one
engineer,
design
it
and
you
don't
have
another
engineer,
someplace
else
to
sign
off
on
that
wall
and
we'd
like
to
have
the
engineer
who
designed
it
follow
the
whole
thing
through
and
be
the
person
that
signs
off
on
it
I
think
that's
real
important
to
follow
the
Thane
through
and
then
all
of
a
sudden.
Like
say
you
know.
P
Obviously
the
engineer
that
signs
off
that
may
not
have
designed
it
he's
got
the
plans,
but
he
doesn't
know
exactly
what
may
be
the
engineer
that
originally
azonda
had
in
mind.
So
we
want
that
engineer
to
come
back
and
follow
the
whole
project
through
there
has
been
discussions
about
possibility
of
making
a
developer
or
the
engineer
have
a
bond.
We
do
require
bonds,
obviously
a
long-term
bond
on
on
stormwater,
because
that's
a
long-term
maintenance
of
those
facilities.
P
We
require
the
developer
that
comes
in
on
on
a
subdivision
to
have
a
bond
to
make
sure
that
the
roads
are
put
in
properly
and
that
those
utilities
may
either
be
water
or
sewer
put
it.
But
when
you
get
into
a
wall,
it's
it's
a
structural
thing,
I
mean
obviously
a
building
and
other
things
are
structural
and
then
I
have
I
guess:
I
have
problems
with
okay.
What
height
that
we
require
you
to
have
a
bond
at
what
point
do
we
would
release
that
bond?
P
You
know
there
was
a
really
struck
problems
until
the
the
wall
was
finished
on
74,
then
all
of
a
sudden
started
having
structural
problems
and
if
we'd
had
a
bond,
would
we
obviously
we
would
have.
You
know
not
released
that
bond,
but
I
think
from
a
liability
standpoint.
I
think
the
county
attorney
would
agree
with
me
that
we
don't
want
to
get
into
the
situation
where
we're
out
there
repairing
the
wall.
P
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
developer
or
the
engineers
involved,
who
designed
the
thing
to
come
in
and
be
part
of
that
correction
process
and
I.
Think
that's
where
we
are
with
the
wall
and
said
before
currently
long
term.
If
there's
a
wall,
that's
over
40
feet,
we
want
to
have
a
system
of
long-term
monitoring.
We
want
to
make
sure
that,
within
30
days
of
completion
that
there's
a
survey
crew
there,
that
puts
in
permanent
markers
on
the
ground
that
that
are
have
a
dedicated
easement.
P
We
want
markers
on
that
wall
to
to
be
able
to
whether
it's
six
months,
if
there's
an
issue
or
20
years
as
an
issue
with
that
wall,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
somebody
can
come
in.
An
engineer
can
pick
up
those
points,
they're
tied
to
the
North
Carolina
grid,
and
they
can
tell
that
there's
an
issue
that
that
wall
is
no
matter.
What
part
of
that
wall
may
may
have
some
structural
problems.
So
I
think
this
is
very
important.
P
Like
a
saved
for
high
walls,
we
had
it
like
I
said
we
had
a
lot
of
input
on
this
from
surveyors
and
from
engineers
and
I
think.
This
is
a
very
good
idea
that
that,
like
say
that
will
protect
us
and
the
developer
and
the
citizens
that
may
live
near
the
wall
on
top
of
the
wall
down
the
road.
So,
in
a
nutshell,
this
is
what
that
we're
proposing
tonight.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I'll
be
more
happy
to
answer.
A
P
With
the
obviously,
with
the
80-foot
82
feet,
I
mean
that
wall
isn't
broken
into
two
sections.
You
you
know,
I
think
when
we
have
staff
made
recommendations
to
the
Planning
Board
is
that,
with
with
the
step
backs
in
a
wall,
if
I
go
up
20-foot
I
step
back
ten,
I
go
up
15
I
step
back
ten.
I
go
up
15
a
step
back
ten
at
some
point.
I'm
using
a
lot
of
land
up
and
the
purpose
of
there
was
to
make
the
developers
stop
and
think
hold
on
I've
lost.
P
You
know
it
may
be
an
acre.
It
may
be
two
acres.
Is
there
a
better
way
that
I
can
do
this
other
than
to
build
a
very
large
high
wall
and
I?
Think
that's
one
thing,
but
on
the
other
end
is
that
we
want
to
try
to
put
some
landscaping
that
if
it
is
a
high
wall
being
that
it's
over
the
20
feet,
if
it's,
if
it's
next
door,
road
or
30
feet,
if
it's
not
that
there
is
trees,
bushes,
shrubbery
and
bonds
and
supports
for
those
vines
to
be
going
on
the
wall.
P
We
talked
about
that
I
mean
obviously
most
walls
when
you
look
at
have
kind
of
a
concrete
or
a
light,
brown
or
dark
brown
base,
and
some
of
them
incorporate
where
there's
stone
or
there's
other
designs,
but
really
I.
Think
from
our
standpoint
and
the
Planning
Board
standpoint,
we
were
more
I,
guess
interested
in
landscaping,
and
you
know
you
don't
run
across
like
roofs
where
there's
a
red
roof
or
a
bright
blue
roof
on
retaining
walls.
So
I
think
it's
more
of
that.
P
Okay,
how
we
going
to
cover
that
naturally,
then
I
mean
you'd
have
to
say.
If
the
the
building
on
me
that
the
wall
on
74
was
it
looked
like
some
kind
of
rock,
it
still
would
be
protrusive
to
a
lot
of
people
being
as
high
as
of
it.
So
I
don't
think
that
like
say,
we
were
morn
or
looking
at
okay
structurally,
how
we
set
this
back
and
make
it
safer.
How
do
we
reduce
that
impact
on
the
on
the
visual
impact
on
the
neighborhood
or
the
people
that
may
be
passing
near
the
wall
in.
A
P
P
It
there's
been
an
engineer
involved
in
as
doing
the
electrical
layout,
the
HVAC
and
it's
the
same
difference
there
they're
saying
that
you
know
by
the
state
of
North
Carolina
I've
been
issued.
This
license
and
I'm
basically
saying
that.
Yes,
this
is
correct
and
from
our
standpoint
being
from
the
planning
department
or
or
inspections
and
permits,
you
know
we
trust
that
you
have
been
trained
right
and
you're
going
to
and
you're
certifying
to
your
best
ability
that
this
is
correct.
Well,.
A
Like
the
idea
that
that
we're
going
to
let
the
free
market
system
kind
of
regulate
and
police
it
by
getting
these
folks
on
the
line,
then
they
do
things
that
are
unsafe
or
things
that
they
that
aren't
going
to
work
out.
The
final
question
is:
is
there
any
requirement
for
the
the
people,
the
build,
retaining
walls
to
give
you
or
planning
staff
in
any
level
a
visual
of
how
it
will
look?
Yeah.
P
We
want
elevations
when
the
the
plans
come
to
the
Planning
Board
and
we
want
elevation
drawings
to
show
okay.
This
is
what
this
has
got
to
look
at.
We
wanted
elevations
from
north
east,
south
and
west
so
that
the
Planning
Board
can
make
that
determination.
That
of
this,
this
is
something
that
we
can't
accept,
or
this
is
something
that
we
can't
accept
was.
A
A
Q
Thank
you.
My
name
is
dr.
Milton
bird
buncombe
county
resident.
Looking
at
your
retaining
wall,
ordinance
I
had
two
questions
with
most
retaining
walls.
Any
wall
over
four
feet
has
a
ground
water
issue
for
its
drainage
and
I've
heard
nothing
in
discussion
regards
to
direct
groundwater
management,
and
if
you
have
a
wallet
say,
that's
20
feet
tall.
Obviously,
there's
going
to
be
groundwater
redirection
there
and
there
may
be
some
stormwater
management
implications,
so
I
would
ask
any
wall
over
20
feet
or
appropriate
to
engineering
that
would
look
at
groundwater
management
and
stormwater
management.
Thank
you.
R
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
members
board
I
think
if
we
were
looking
at
this
is
Wall
of
China
and
it
was
built
like
a
wall
of
china.
We
wouldn't
be
here
discussing
it
today,
he'd
be
standing,
I.
Think
question
I
have
is
more
to
the
legal
side
of
it.
Is
the
taxpayers
of
buncombe
county
going
to
be
legal
lee
binding
for
this
debt,
even
if
it
was
under
the
code
at
that
time?
R
If
it
was
built
under
what
we
said
build
it
by
then,
then,
is
that
going
to
obligate
the
contractor
a
way
out
to
where
he's
not
going
to
be
financially
or
she
going
to
be
financially
holding
the
debt
or
is
the
county
going
to
be
holding
dead?
I
think
that's
a
big
question
for
the
taxpayers
of
buncombe
county,
the
safety
part
of
it
it's
an
eyesore,
but
it's
a
safety
issue.
R
When
you
see
those
cracks
in
that
thing
and
I
don't
see
how
anybody
could
have
looked
at
them
plans
and
made
a
decision
to
let
them
go
in
the
first
place.
So
I
think
it
goes
back
to
the
ordinance.
Should
we
have
the
Planning
Board
if
they've
got
men
sitting
on
that
board,
that
is
supposed
to
be
architects
and
people
of
great
degree.
R
To
me,
I
would
question
the
ability
of
the
people
on
the
Planning
Board
and
whether
or
not
they
were
capable
of
making
that
decision
or
not
and
then
the
final
decision
rest
is
with
the
county
commissioners,
after
the
Planning
Board,
so
I'm
questioning
all
the
way
from
beginning
to
end
on
this
one.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
is
the
liability
going
to
affect
us
as
a
taxpayer
on.
R
A
Okay,
if
there's
no
other
public
can
buy
out
class
call.
Any
other
public
comment
will
close
public
comment
at
five
5523
John.
One
question
from
dr.
bird
was
the
ground
water
issue
and
then
mr.
rice
ask
about
the
obligation
of
buncombe
county.
Maybe
just
give
a
status
of
that,
even
though
we're
talking
about
an
ordinance
as
far
as
stormwater.
P
P
Obviously,
in
the
design,
the
engineer
has
got
to
take
an
account:
the
amount
of
water,
that's
coming
down
behind
the
wall
infiltrating
down
and
that
forced
and
and
designed.
Accordingly,
the
this
particular
project
went
to
the
board
of
adjustments
because
the
board
of
adjustments,
it's
a
planet
of
development
right
now,
I
think
that
when
you
look
at
when
you
put
a
stop
work
order
on
somebody
at
some
point,
they're
going
to
come
around
simply
because
they
cannot
continue
to
do
the
development
and
that
that
always
I
think
that's
the
last
resort.
P
We
want
to
want
to
do
as
far
as
trying
to
issue
one
of
those,
but
that
usually
brings
a
developer
around
where
things
get
solved
and
and
that's
what's
happening
with
the
74
problem.
That's
out
there
with
the
retaining
wall
there
I
don't
see
any
reason
or
any
way
that
we're
on
the
hook
now
maybe
Michael
Michael
free
would
want
to
address
that.
T
A
P
Talking
to
matt,
stone
and
permits
office
of,
but
there
was
a
long
discussion
on
exactly
which
engineer
was
got
to
sign
off
on
the
design
of
the
wall.
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
brought
back
in
this
recommendation
basically
have
one
responsible
engineer
now:
I
think
that
they're,
what
they're
trying
to
do
is
figure
out
what
kind
of
corrective
measures
that
they're
going
to
do
to
fix
the
issues
with
the
wall,
but.
A
T
Fine
well
at
this
point,
mr.
chairman:
if
I
might
interject
I
mean
those
engineers
and
what
not
speaking
to
matt
stone
and
permitting
he's
allowed
them
to
go
on
to
make
sure
things
don't
deteriorate
so
they're,
trying
to
at
least
maintain
it
they're
allowed
to
maintain
it
make
sure
something
doesn't
get
worse.
Okay,.
T
C
A
U
U
Mr.
chairman
and
commissioners
I
wanted
to
start
tonight
with
talking
about
the
fee
schedule
that
you
find
on
your
agenda.
At
our
last
meeting,
we
asked
you
to
change
the
ordinances
so
that,
instead
of
the
fees
being
set
in
the
ordinance,
you
had
the
authority
as
a
board
of
commissioners
to
set
those
fees.
U
So
we
have
those
before
you
tonight
interview,
take
a
look
at
the
fee
schedule
and
read:
you
will
see
the
current
or
the
fact
that
there's
no
change
to
the
proposed
fee,
which
is
in
black
I,
wanted
to
just
hit
the
highlights
on
two
or
three
of
these
one.
It
would
tell
you
that
these
are
comparable
to
other
or
below
other
large
local
governments
in
Western,
North
Carolina,
and
we
compared
it
to
Hendersonville
in
Asheville.
U
If
you
just
come
down
and
look
at
these
fees
like
adult
establishments
that
was
adopted
in
1995
has
not
been
changed
since
some
of
the
subdivision
ordinances,
those
fees
were
adopted
in
1994
him,
we've
never
changed
those
or
had
those
fees
manufactured
home
parks,
minor
minor
parks,
19
units
or
less.
We
we
set
that
fee
in
1996
and
have
not
changed
it
major
home
parks.
We
said
that
fee
in
2001
and
have
never
changed
it
some
permits
when
that
was
adopted
in
1994,
we
have
not
changed.
U
Those
fees
cell
towers
was
adopted
in
97
and
we
have
not
changed
those
fees.
So
you
can
see
it's
been
a
long
time
since
we've
really
looked
at
them
closely
and
changed
the
fees.
So
we
are
asking
you
to
not
to
set
this
fee
schedule
to
adopt
this
fee
schedule.
We
have
not
incorporated
any
increase
in
revenue
in
our
budget
simply
because
you
know
our
permits
have
been
flat
for
a
while.
We
are.
U
A
B
U
Ma'am,
hey
just
a
couple
of
comments
on
the
budget.
You
know
we
delivered
the
message
on
the
seventeenth.
We've
made
a
few
small
changes
on
it,
but
want
and
want
to
point
those
out
to
you,
we're
proposing
in
this
ordinance
that
you
have
before
you
tonight,
a
general
fund
budget
of
257
million
four
hundred.
Seventy
thousand
two
hundred
sixty
three
dollars,
that
is
at
three
hundred
twenty
thousand
dollars
from
what
we
brought
you
on
the
seventeenth
it's
to
address
some
public
safety,
overtime
issues,
Forest
Service
and
some
contract
for
legal
legal
services
of
pisgah
legal.
U
U
We
ask
you
to
adopt
seven
million
nine
hundred
sixty-two
thousand
dollars
and
we
have
dropped
that
seven
million
six
hundred
ninety
two
thousand,
it's
a
two
hundred.
Seventy
thousand
dollar
decrease
in
the
fund
balance
where
appropriating
just
a
lot
of
good
work
law
in
cooperation
with
our
departments,
so
we're
going
in
with
a
little
more
in
the
budget,
a
little
less
than
the
fund
balance
appropriation.
U
C
Well,
I
an't.
When
the
time
is
nigh,
I
am
going
to
move
that
we
adopt
the
the
2011-12,
but
before
I
do
that
I
want
to
say.
I
say
that
with
special
thanks
to
our
county
manager
and
the
people
in
our
finance
office,
the
hard
work
that
they've
done,
but
a
very
special
thanks
to
the
the
folks
who
run
our
departments
and
the
hard
work
that
they've
done
over
months
to.
C
They
were
asked
to
decrease
their
budgets
and
they've
done
that
I
think
they
have.
They
continue
to
to
give
the
services
to
our
our
citizens,
who
depend
on
us
to
do
that.
Our
core
services
and
they've
done
that
reduced
amount
of
funding
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
underline
the
fact
that
we
have
kept
education
hole
in
Buncombe,
County
and
I
know.
C
This
has
been
said,
but
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
plan
now
to
say
it
again
that
we
have
also
budgeted
the
money
to
open
the
two
new
intermediate
schools
for
Buncombe,
County,
Schools
I.
Think
that
says
to
our
public
that
we
hold
education
to
a
very
high
standard,
and
we
expect
that
our
citizens
will
appreciate
that
I
think.
C
It
also
says
that
our
our
management
and
the
staff
here
realizes
the
importance,
as
the
commissioners
have
stated
many
times,
that
core
services
are
so
important
that
we
provide
for
our
citizens
and
that
we
get
up
every
day.
Thinking
about
providing
for
our
citizens,
education,
safety,
health
and
well-being,
fun
and
I.
Think
we've
talked
about
all
those
things
tonight.
It's
just
a
real
pleasure
to
be
a
part
of
a
commission
that
thinks
along
those
lines
and
it,
as
I
said.
Mr.
Chairman
I
would
like
to
recommend
the
adoption
of
this
budget
sagem.
L
But
after
the
winch's,
a
presentation
of
a
month
or
so
ago,
I'm
heartened
a
bit
because
of
the
accountability
that
we
all
saw
in
terms
of
you
know
a
year
after
the
fact
and
kind
of
hearing
back
about
their
about
their
outcomes.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
for
both
the
the
prenatal
services
that
we
have
a
similar
type
of
benchmarking.
That
we
do
you
know.
Perhaps
a
formal
report
is
not
necessary,
except
for
maybe
once
a
year,
but
maybe
that
it
can
come.
L
U
We
absolutely
feel
feel
very
passionate
about
that.
The
contract
on
prenatal
it
there
are
four
players
in
this
may
hack,
winches,
Health
Department
in
Western,
North,
Carolina,
Community
Care.
We
did
pull
that
contract
and
there
are
11
performance
measures
in
that
contract
and
we'll
be
watching
that
on
a
very,
very
regular
basis
with
them
and
be
able
to
report
back
to
you
on
how
that
is
going.
So
we're
very
conscious
of
that.
The
contract
on
transportation
is
being
developed
and
it
will
have
any.
U
You
know
equal
focus
on
benchmarks
and
measures,
and
we
watch
those
things
really
on
a
monthly
basis
to
make
sure
we're
getting
the
performance
that
we're
looking
for
and
then
have
some
regular
meetings
with.
We've
always
had
regular
meetings
on
with
winches
on
the
primary
care
will
do
similar
things
on
prenatal
and
we'll
be
meeting
regularly
with
Landis
sky
and
with
MacDonald
and
transportation.
Those
contracts
for
the
transportation
part
are
still
being
developed,
but
those
measures
will
be
there.
That's
great
I
appreciate.
A
Right
and
I'd
agree.
I
think
I
think
the
public,
but
also
benefit
if
you
just
work,
those
in
the
manager
reports.
The
thing
I'd
like
to
say
about
it
is
that
you
know
we
start
off.
We
gave
you
three
instructions,
we
said,
keep
the
tax
rate
the
same,
because
we
didn't
think
people
could
afford
an
increase
in
the
tax
rate.
We
asked
you
to
preserve
people's
jobs
and
I.
Think
we've
done
that,
how
many
p?
What
number
are
we
at
now
as
far
as
folks
that
do
not
have
jobs
as
a
result
of
budget?
The.
U
Oh,
we
started
the
year
with
15
26
and
right
now
we're
we're
I
swear
it
14
21
july
first
and.
U
A
Commissioner
Peterson
said
we
do
the
core
services
and
the
one
that
I'm
the
most
proud
of
in
this
budget
is
education,
because
I
had
the
pleasure
of
going
out
to
erwin
high
school
and
I
spoke
to
the
student
council
out
there
and
Adam
West,
who
is
a
going
to
be
in
East
Carolina
student.
This
fall
went
out
and
he
got
all
these
letters
signed
by
people
in
the
urban
area.
Saying
please
don't
hurt
education
now.
A
This
is
a
fellow
that's
not
going
to
even
benefit
directly
from
Irwin
high
school
next
year,
but
he
took
his
time
to
do
this.
We've
all
heard
from
people.
This
is
a
small
sample
of
things
that
the
community
supports
education
and
his
commissioner
Peterson
said
we
are
not
only
supporting
it
by
the
same
rate,
we're
actually
giving
an
increase
to
open
the
two
new
schools
and
that's
not
the
way.
A
lot
of
political
bodies
have
handled
budget
crisis,
they've
laid
it
out.
A
They've
laid
education
out
in
a
lot
of
places
and
I'm,
proud
that
this
board
didn't
do
that.
We
have
a
lot
of
educators,
all
of
you
educate,
errs,
and
that
was
the
right
call.
It
was
the
right
thing
to
do,
because
that's
the
best
investment
we
can
make
in
our
community
is
to
make
sure
we
have
educated
workforce,
so
I'm
I'm
thrilled
at
it
I'm
glad
I,
think
took
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
I
was
real
impressed
with
the
community's
understanding
that
education
is
a
core
service.
Any
other
comments
call.
A
A
V
A
P
I'll
just
say
several
years
ago
there
was
a
as
a
group
in
the
community
members
in
the
EMA
community
that
had
formed
a
safer
walk
for
Emma
and
at
that
time
do
t
had
money,
a
program
called
safe
routes
to
school,
where
they
would
the
city
it
was
for
City,
so
the
city
had
to
participate
in
it
part
of
the
sidewalk
going
to
emmas
in
the
county.
So
that's
where
we
got
involved
in
the
process.
P
Basically,
the
city
can't
maintain
a
sidewalk,
that's
outside
their
jurisdiction,
but
do
t
in
order
to
give
the
grant
money
had
to
have
a
responsible
party
to
make
sure
that
they
were
going
to
maintain
the
sidewalk
both
inside
the
municipality
and
outside.
And
that's
where
we
came
to
the
table.
We
wrote
a
letter
support
and
like
say
with
the
city's
leadership,
they
were
able
to
not
only
get
money
through
this
program,
but
also
through
CDBG
and
some
transit
money.
P
All
federal
money
to
get
the
easements
do
the
design
and
to
start
the
sidewalk
and
part
of
that
ending
process
is
today
that
we're
going
to
sign
up
interlocal
agreement
with
the
city
of
Asheville
to
maintain
our
portion
on
sidewalks
so
that
they
can
go
ahead
and
get
the
project
started
its
anticipated
that
start
in
the
fall.
This
is
about
a
four
tenths
of
a
mile
sidewalk,
a
part
of
a
larger
project
that
will
bring
sidewalks
all
the
way
from
Pattin
Avenue
up
north
louisiana
to
em
of
school.
P
So
I
think
this
is
a
it's
a
great
thing:
one,
the
community.
The
community
has
not
given
up
over
the
years
of
getting
this
money
and
to
like
say
with
us
in
the
city,
getting
together
we're
going
to
make
the
citizens
least
am
of
community
very
happy.
So
that's
where
we
come
with
the
interlocal
agreement
today,.
L
Think
it's
really
exciting
and
I
appreciate
all
y'all's.
Efforts
on
this
is
a
great
example
of
in
a
city
county
working
together
and
I
mean
the
thing
I'm,
the
most
excited
about,
or
all
those
kids
being
a
lot
safer
as
well.
As
you
know,
the
large
lot
of
folks
that
just
walk
up
and
down
to
get
to
work
and
what
not
to
so
the
safety
is
going
to
be
greatly
improved
and
even
though
it's
a
long
time
coming,
I
think
we're
here
and
thanks
for
all
your
cooperative
efforts,
it.
A
I
want
to
thank
them
a
elementary
school
community
because
they
people
have
been
asking
for
this
for
years,
and
it
just
took
a
lot
of
time
to
put
it
together
legally
in
I'm,
going
to
thank
our
partners
at
City
Council,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
them
have
worked
on
this
a
long
time
too
and
I'm
off
the
god.
Oh
I,
think
Commissioner
Jones
was
on
the
City
Council.
We've
probably
talked
to
you
about
that
when
you
were
across
the
street.
A
C
A
T
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
commissioners,
here
before
you
today,
because
we
need
a
new
public
safety
tower
out
in
the
EMA
a
strike
we
just
did
in
monroe.
This
is
a
leeds
creek
road
leicester
near
the
Public
Safety
Center.
We've
had
a
tower
out
there
for
some
period
of
time
and
the
gentleman
opted
out
of
that
contract.
So
we
need
a
new
site
and
the
Buncombe
County
Board
of
Education
that's
been
kind
enough
to
offer
us
a
location
for
one
dollar
year
for
20
years
on
the
site.
So
we're
just
asking
approval
of
the
resolution.
A
O
H
A
B
F
A
A
There
any
other
nominations
all
those
in
favor
of
appointing
our
former
accounting
manager,
Bill
mikkel
risk
to
the
reappointment
say:
art
I,
all
opposed
no
mikkel
worth
is
reappointed.
The
next
meeting
of
our
board
will
be
jun,
28
2011,
oh,
this
will
be
a
continuation
meeting.
I
believe
is
that,
right
now
the
clerk
soon.
A
Oma
county
oregon,
July
fifteenth
nineteen.
This
board
will
meet
July
26,
beginning
at
five
pm,
that'll,
be
our
next
regular
scheduled
meeting
of
them.
The
continuation
meeting
and
Commission
meetings
can
be
seen
on
bc,
TV
charter
camera
channel
two
on
tuesday
and
thursday
at
8pm
wednesday,
at
three
p.m.
and
saturday

at

Which
bridge
County
made
by
both
I
would
like
to
know
what
and
sedatives
are
you
planning
to
give
a
company
that
would
bring
up
to
400
jobs
and
if
there
is
it
comfy
thinking
about
moving
into
the
fall
time?
Well,
I,
don't
think
of
it
also
reform
but
paying
taxes
on
that
property
and
if
you
buy
it,
there
goes
to
large
texting
I.
Think
the
public
should
know
more
about
the
details
before
you
can
go
with
seven
million
dollars
that
we
may
end
up.
W
A
D
D
I'm
also
here,
because
we're
deeply
concerned
about
the
physical
state
of
the
abandoned
CTS
building,
an
EPA
contractor
working
on
a
sampling
plan
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
photographed
the
building
both
inside
and
out
and
shared
with
us
pictures,
which
clearly
demonstrate
a
compromise
structure
such
as
major
holes
in
the
roof
and
piping
and
ductwork
hanging
precariously
from
the
ceiling.
We
are
also
concerned
that
this
building
is
a
fire
hazard.
D
Additionally,
the
photographs
revealed
fresh
graffiti
inside
the
building,
indicative
of
gang
and
drug
related
activities.
As
a
mother,
a
teacher
and
a
member
of
the
south
asheville
unity,
I
am
concerned
for
the
health
and
safety
not
only
of
those
who
have
claimed
this
dilapidated
building
as
their
turf,
but
for
the
families
living
near
the
CTS
site
who
may
be
subjected
to
gang
and
drug
related
crime
in
accordance
with
the
buncombe
county
ordinances,
10
126
through
10
136.
The
community
would
like
to
request
that
the
CTS
building
be
condemned
and
would
like
to
solicit
the
help.

I
am
Reverend
Lisa,
Landis,
gee,
LOL
ady,
you
can
find
me
in
a
search
engine.
I
am
a
spiritual
teacher.
My
religious
practice
does
not
allow
me
to
use
negative
thoughts,
words
and
actions
to
anyone
before
I
came
here.
I
was
in
the
safety
and
security
industry
and
I
chose
to
get
a
notarized
statement
to
walk
away
from
a
billion-dollar
industry,
because
I
knew
the
man
was
not
just
as
it
said
in
the
Bible.
Vengeance
is
mine.
Saith,
the
lord
I
did
not
wish
him
harm.
I
wished
him
well.
X
The
man
was
sentenced
to
20
years
in
prison,
but
I
had
nothing
to
do
with
that.
Those
of
my
faith
before
me
have
been
crucified
and
have
been
burned
at
the
stake.
Now.
False
accusations
of
threats
and
attacks,
slander,
spiritual
teachers.
My
show
was
produced
under
the
First
Amendment
platform
six
hours
per
month,
now
I'm
lucky
to
get
six
minutes
minutes,
I,
educated
and
entertained
was
the
purpose
of
my
show.
Did
you
know
that
alcoholism
is
a
fatal
disease?
That
is
a
chemical
imbalance
in
your
brain
until
it
is
addressed.
X
Yet
the
chemical
justice
system
continues
to
profit
on
the
disease
and
decay
in
society.
Did
you
know
that
there's
now
a
treatment
center
for
first
responders
in
the
United
States?
But
then
you
have
to
wonder
about
the
state-run
ABC
stores
in
the
treatment
centers
the
majority
of
crime
committed
under
the
influence
of
alcohol
or
drug
or
to
acquire
alcohol
or
drugs.
X
You
know
the
question
is
you
know,
do
you
want
to
solve
the
problems
or
society,
or
do
we
profit
from
it,
and
until
there
is
a
Department
of
Peace
I,
say
war
will
be
viewed
as
a
profit
for
few
and
how
is
b/c
TV
getting
funding
and
to
what
amount?
There
was
another
questions
about.
You
are
TV
not
being
in
the
budget.
X
I'm.
Sorry,
somebody
else
had
helped
me
with
some
questions
and
I'm,
not
quite
sure.
If
that's
not
in
your
budget,
then
where's
the
video
sales
tax,
for
was
that
a
lie.
What
do
you
mean?
We
are
not
going
to
move
forward.
Your
TV
is
not
in
your
budget,
then.
Why
would
you
have
worried
about
it?
Your
redirect
sorry
I
didn't
get
to
finish.

My
name

I've
been
working
with
the
the
folks
in
the
mills,
Gap
area,
trying
to
get
his
cts
plant
cleaned
up
and
I
wanted.
To
reiterate,
1vn
said,
and
also
you
know,
encourage
the
county
to
you
know
join
the
effort,
the
momentum
that's
beginning
to
build
with
us
with
EPA.
We
have
a
wonderful
new
team
at
EPA
who's
who's
working
with
us,
and
so
this
is
a
could
be
a
very
important
moment.
So
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
Y
Brother
Christopher
and
I,
coming
in
name
of
Yahweh
or
Yeshua
conspiracy,
when
a
democracy
gets
so
far
in
debt,
they
can't
pay
the
debt,
which
is
where
we're
at
now.
That's
what
China
requires
us
to
pay
in
gold
to
the
loans
we've
taken
when
it
starts
down
and
starts
declining
into
dictatorship,
the
loss
of
freedoms.
We
see
it
every
day.
Y
Conspiracy
not
directly
against
freedom
of
speech,
though
it
is
the
content.
That
is
a
reason.
The
direct
conspiracy
has
not
been
against
freedom
of
speech,
but
rather
through
freedom
of
the
press,
see
freedom
of
the
press
is
where
the
anointing,
you
might
say,
the
power
behind
the
word,
see
I
get
out
picture
park
and
I
canna
let
60
people
know
by
my
voice.
Do
you
know
me?
I
could
stand
at
the
end
of
this
wall
and
make
it
so
loud.
Y
The
conspiracy
from
the
beginning
has
been
to
give
the
appearance
of
public
access
charge,
for
it
keep
the
money
and
get
rid
of
it.
There's
some
video
of
our
former
President
Nixon.
When
it
came
to
the
medical,
when
they
said
hey
look,
we
got
a
plan
to
give
for
a
lot
of
money
very
little
and
as
the
money
increases
you
get
less
and
less
and
less
same
way.
That's
what
happen
with
you.
Our
TV.
Only
time
is
getting
very
quick.
Y
That's
why
I
it
had
to
get
shut
down
quick
because
of
this
little
monk
and
many
others
like
me,
who
could
not
just
give
information
see
my
show
was
not
about
giving
information
it's
out
there.
You
yourself
gave
the
conspiracy
on
the
last
meeting.
You
yourselves
agree
to
that
conspiracy
by
keeping
silent
in
this
conspiracy
to
end.
You
are
TV
kid
who
put
a
brush
on
a
lot
of
people
all
the
way
back
to
the
original
starters
of
you
are
TV
itself
and
the
city
and
the
county.
Y
Y
A
U
There
are
several
things:
I
understand
the
level
upset
about
the
channel
going
off
the
air
when
it
was
a
charter
agreement.
It
was
certainly
an
easier
fund
of
streaming
a
funding
stream
to
follow
and
we
had
laid
out
from
a
local
perspective
the
ability
to
provide
more
funding
for
the
public
channel.
Then
we
provided
for
education
or
government
when
that
was
changed
with
the
by
adding
a
second
provider
of
services.
Here
in
the
community,
the
state
changed
a
lot
of
things
about
that
funding
stream
and
how
it
flowed.
U
Our
requirement
was
for
subscriber
fees
that
we
share,
that
with
channels
that
we
certified,
we
certified
you
our
TV
and
we
certify
BBC
TV.
We
were
not
required
to
share
the
fund
any
other
stream
of
funding
and
we
didn't
share
any
other
stream
of
funding.
It
really
doesn't
matter
how
much
somebody
puts
forward
in
a
budget.
I
could
come
in
here
and
say
we
need
a
500
million-dollar
budget,
but
the
reality
in
life
is,
we
can
have
the
budget
we
can
afford,
not
the
one.
U
U
1.5
million
is
really
something
that
has
been
misconstrued
by
you,
our
TV
and
and
they've
done
that
very
consistently.
The
state
auditor
has
reviewed
the
distribution
of
these
funds,
we've
talked
to
them
as
repeated
Lee,
and
while
we
do
not
have
the
written
report,
we
have
been
told
by
the
state
auditor
that
there
is
no
indication
that
Buncombe
County
owes
you
our
TV
anything
at
all
and
I'm,
very
confident
after
the
review
that
they
did,
that
they
were
very
thorough
and
everything
they
looked
at
and
their
opinion
is.
We
do
not
know.
A
U
That's
once
the
rules
changed
in
raleigh,
we
we
provided
exactly
what
we
were
required
to
provide.
The
state
are
two
reviewed:
all
the
legislation
and
they're
very
clear
that
we've
provided
to
you
our
TV,
what
we
were
legally
required
to
provide
to
them
and
what
was
required
is
really
irrelevant
compared
to
their
I
mean
their
budgets
are
relevant
compared
to
the
funding
source.
They
can
only
spend
what
we
can
give
them,
or
we
can
only
give
them
what
we
required
and.
U
A
U
A
And
be
very
aboveboard
and
and
make
sure
that
we
do
it
the
right
way
and
the
RFP
is
request
for
proposal,
which
means
at
some
point
there's
going
to
be
a
request,
show
us
what
you
would
do
with
this
and
I.
Don't
know
how
that's
going
to
look
because
the
city's
working
with
us,
but
it's
going
to
be
primarily
city
driven
since
they
have
the
equipment.
Is
that
right?
Is
that
fair?
The
same
so
there's
another
shot,
I,
don't
know
what
it
will
be,
because
it's
not
our
organization,
it's
going
to
be
putting
it
out.
R
The
budget
of
buncombe
county
I
guess
about
the
only
thing
we
get
to
talk
on
it,
really
don't
get
any
action,
but
the
taxpayers
of
buncombe
county.
They
need
a
tax
decrease
in
their
property
tax.
You
didn't
have
a
reevaluation
that
was
on
purpose,
so
you
could
gain
more
money.
You're,
not
revenue
neutral.
You
just
keep
increasing
in
money.
You
got
money
at
the
county
school
system,
a
bank
roll
over
there
that
they
don't
even
need.
You
talk
about
good
education,
which
we
do
get
a
good
education.
R
We've
got
a
very
small
amount
numbers
of
people
that
is
going
to
be
going
to
bum
County
school
in
Asheville
city
school.
Compared
to
what
the
buildings
are
out
there.
We
talk
about
these
intermediate
schools
or
more
fuss
over
them
than
what
they
really
should
have
been
there,
not
even
something
that's
across
the
state.
This
is
a
cutting-edge.
It
might
be
coming
one
day
that
they
make
a
great
charter
school
because
they're
small
schools.
That
might
be
the
future
for
that.
R
But
my
concern
is,
is
why
that
we
are
spending
so
much
money
on
capital
buying
the
building
across
the
street.
Renovating
it
for
a
million
dollars
or
so
buying
the
big
hammer,
co
building
down
the
street,
now
we're
talking
about
volvo
we're
talking
about
the
courthouse
building,
we're
talking
about
all
this
capital
money
and
the
only
way
that
this
money
has
come
about.
In
my
opinion,
is
the
taxpayers
of
buncombe
county
is
not
getting
a
break,
but
the
county
government
is
growing
now,
whether
you're
cutting
people
or
not.
R
That's
not
what
I'm
talking
about
when
you
keep
growing
buildings
and
cutting
employees.
What's
the
difference
you're
putting
the
money
on
that
in
and
to
the
other
end,
to
get
to
newspaper
to
cover
it
honestly
in
either
direction
for
any
newspaper
sitting
in
this
room,
they're
so
bad
that
they
don't
even
know
which
end
up
and
they
supposed
to
be
the
First
Amendment
people
I
can
talk
to
them.
I
can
give
them
information,
but
it
don't
help
to
give
me
information.
It
won't
use
it,
but
they
take
into
the
authority
figures.
R
But
let
me
tell
you
they're
not
getting
a
real
truth
about
how
much
money
but
counties
got
my.
My
concern
is
that
we
give
the
taxpayers
of
buncombe
county
of
reduction,
not
a
little
five
cent
files,
whatever
I
sent.
We
need
a
reduction
for
people
to
fill
it
out
here
in
the
community
I'm
talking
about
people,
it's
got
property,
we're
filling
it
and
don't
you
think
we're
not.
If
seventy
two
percent
of
people,
I
believe,
is
on
the
the
we
call
it
the
fruit
of
not
free
and
reduced
lunches,
but
food
stamps.
R
V
I
didn't
really
mean
to
come
up,
but
jury
said
pretty
well
everything
that
needed
to
be
safe
for
its
budget,
except
we
do
have
16
million
dollar
firemen
training
center.
That's
I,
guess
part
of
another
deal
that
money
comes
from
somewhere
that
we
don't
have
any
many
in
the
government
anyway.
But
we
talk
about
education
and
we
talk
about
it.

A
lot
young
lady
give
me
a
thing
today
that
she's
been
looking
for
a
job
she's

She
says
I
thought
I
put
the
wrong
phone
number
of
the
wrong
email
on
it
because
she
said
I've
had
one
call,
so
you
know
it
looks
like
she's
tried
to
do
it
the
right
way,
but
there's
no
jobs
and
we're
going
to
learn
here
in
to
12
to
13
to
14.
When
you
have
the
revamp
that
there's
no,
you
know
if
we
continue
down
the
road
that
we're
going
today,
we're
going
to
be
in
big
trouble.
The

I
do
hope.

You
know
you,
people
they're
losing
people,
because
they
can't
even
afford
to
drive
the
distances
now
to
get
to
the
jobs
because
guys
aside,
but
they
got
locked
in
for
another
year
without
races.
So
it's
time
for
all
the
people
to
step
up
and
look
what
they
have
below
I
know,
as
he
said,
you're
buying
buildings
that
co2
change.
This
and
the
over
here
at
the
courthouse
and
just
tons
of
things
that
y'all
have
purchased
how
we're
going
to
pay
for.
We
have
25
million
dollars
on
gel.
It
doesn't
have
anybody
in
it.
