the
Constitution

us
that
each

an
amiable
rights,
father
that

given
by
you

we're
thankful
for
them.
We're

We

this
time
that
we're

Let
us
also
remember
that
your
word
tells

that

should
have
the
mind
of
Christ.
E
Let
this
mind
be

Christ
Jesus.
So

Let
every
word
that

said:

Amen,.
B
We've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with

our

over
the

three
weeks
and
I
want
to
say
that
we've
heard

should
strive
to
be,
and
it
starts
with
the
leadership.

recreation
services

And
whereas

Expansion
of
the
local
tax

of
businesses
and
crime
reduction,
and
whereas
parks
and
recreation
areas
are
fundamental
to
the
environmental
well-being
of

I
And
whereas

the
ecological
beauty
of
our
community

provide
a
place
for
children

And
whereas

designated
as
the
nation's
official
Parks
and
Recreation
month.
And
the
city
of
Aitkin
recognizes
the
benefits
derived
from
parks
and
recreation
resources.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Aitkin.
I
B
B
J
B
J
Campbell
parks,
recreation
and
tourism
director
this
coming
Parks
and
Recreation.
My
NR
PA
is
shifting
the
narrative
of
Parks
and
Recreation
to
redefine
the
field
as
an
essential,
vital
necessity
by
sharing
how
park
and
recreation
professionals
full
of
passion
for
their
communities
represent
a
diverse
group
who
are
confronting
our
most
pressing
health,
environmental
and
social
challenges.
J
Tonight,
I
have
staff
here
with
me
representing
a
compartes
recreation
and
tourism,
and
these
are
just
a
few
of
the
individuals
who
make
sure
our
parks
and
programs
are
well
maintained,
safe,
inclusive
and
welcoming,
and
they
are
each
going
to
highlight
the
theme
for
July.
We
are
Parks
and
Rec.
We
are
strong.
We
are
confident
we
are
selfless.
We
are
passionate,
we
are
driven
and
we
are
essential,
so
I
will
introduce
them
and
then
ask
that
they
individually
come
up
petition
their
statement.
We
have
Mary
Ross
back
archers
and
supervisor
Jared
Clemens
a
tourism
coordinator.
J
H
B
H
D
A
Are
selfless
across
division
regular
goes
beyond
above
and
beyond,
to
demonstrate
what
it
means
to
be
separate.
Staff
are
counted
on
to
help
citizens
and
visitors
wherever
and
whenever
every
program,
every
room,
especially
event
and
every
tournament
requires
maintenance
to
ensure
that
facilities
are
clean
and
set
up
for
a
successful
event.
Staff
frequently
work,
nights
and
weekends
after
their
regular
shifts
to
ensure
public
enjoyment
and
engagement
with
our
computing
community.
L
We
are
passionate.
The
tourism
division
is
passionate
about
serving
their
community,
whether
that's
waking
up
at
5:00
a.m.
to
prepare
the
farmers
market
for
vendors
and
farmers
staying
after
hours
at
the
Aiken
visitor
center
and
train
museum.
If
a
visitor
arrives
at
the
last
minute,
providing
staff
and
support
to
the
performing
arts
such
as
Joanne
Aiken
and
working
with
a
group
of
enthusiastic
volunteers,
some
of
whom
have
been
with
us
for
ten
years.
We
also
work
closely
with
several
community
partners
who
share
our
passion
to
promote
Aiken
as
a
tourist
destination.
M
We
are
driven
our
athletic
division
is
driven
by
their
love
of
sports
and
a
willingness
to
share
that
with
our
community.
We
provide
programs
for
youth,
youth
and
adults
and
offer
the
use
of
our
athletic
facilities.
Local
schools,
tournament
directors
from
programs
such
as
Dixie,
World,
Series
and
us
ta
look
forward
to
working
with
us,
because
our
staff
goes
the
extra
mile
and
accommodates
all
their
needs.
N
K
N
D
F
O
B
I
That
is
so
exciting
because
I
remember
when
we
brought
this
to
the
table
and
staff
brought
this
to
the
table
and-
and
we
had
a
question
that
Q&A
session
or
whatever-
and
you
guys
mentioned
those
numbers
and
many
moat.
All
of
this
council
really
specifically
said.
If
we
move
forward
with
this
project,
we
will
seen
a
significant
increase
in
in
constituents
using
it
and
kids
exposure
to
swimming
and
so
forth
and
so
on,
and
that's
that's
the
testament
right
there
so
that
that's
awesome.
It's.
E
B
D
O
Innovative
use
of
their
software,
we
had
a
lot
of-
we
have
been
for
a
number
of
years,
striving
to
get
our
records
digitized,
and
we
have
graduated
being
on
that
to
create
a
lot
of
online
forms,
both
internally
and
externally.
Through
this
and
MCC
I,
we've
got
a
relationship
that
goes
back
a
decade
or
more
that
predates
my
arrival
here,
nine
and
a
half
years
ago,
and
we
have
mr.
O
Kevin
Smith
an
account
executive
from
MCC
I
here
to
present
an
award
to
the
city
and
I
want
to
compliment
a
nasara'
right
out,
plays
a
key
role,
our
city
clerk
in
in
coordinating
this,
as
does
West
Bundaberg
one
of
our
IT
administrators,
he's
our
software
development
person.
So
if
Kevin
could
come
forward
and
make
the
presentation.
G
G
We
won't
take
a
long
time
tonight,
we'll
keep
to
a
couple
of
minutes,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
for
you
guys
to
to
really
know
what
an
exceptional
city
that
you
have
here
with
your
employees
through
the
efforts
of
Wes
and
his
team
and
the
enthusiastic
support
of
stair
ride
out
and
the
efforts
of
your
departments.
Aiken
has
made
incredible
progress
towards
becoming
a
leader
in
efficiency.
Today,
I
had
the
privilege
of
meeting
with
several
of
your
departments
and
all
we're
interested
in
how
to
continue
improving
service
to
the
community
and
operating
efficiently.
G
P
G
Of
the
meeting
tonight,
what
a
great
great
town
you
have
here
so
without
further
ado
Wes,
we
have
the
city
hours
once
they
congratulations
from
MCC
I
for
the
award
of
excellence.
I
would
love
to
shake
your
hand
in
front
of
folks
we're
going
to
follow
and
not
do
that,
but
we
have
over
900
local
government
customers.
We
only
give
out
a
handful
of
these.
G
D
B
E
N
Q
G
D
G
B
A
B
B
H
B
Formed
at
this
time,
all
right,
thank
you
very
much.
I
am
a
number
200
business.
This
is
a
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordnance,
annex
property
at
pine
log,
Road
and
Richardson's
Lake
Road,
and
improve
a
concept
plan
by
title,
an
ordinance
annexed
to
the
corporate
limits
of
the
city
of
Aitkin,
certain
property
owned
by
Robert
oak
Collins
and
located
at
the
intersection
of
pine
log,
Road
and
Richardson's
Lake
Road,
and
to
zone
the
same
planned
resident
potential
PR
and
to
approve
a
concept
plan.
Is
there
motion?
B
O
O
B
B
O
It's
from
Ray
Cole
and
it
says,
quote:
I
live
at
120
Bay
Meadows
Drive
in
Aiken,
South
Carolina
I've
responded
with
my
concerns
about
the
annexation,
so
our
looks
like
everything
is
falling
into
place
with
that
being
said,
I
have
one
more
suggestion.
In
the
previous
meeting
the
subject
of
speed
humps
on
Bay
Meadows
was
addressed.
Thanks
to
those
who
clarified,
the
road
would
have
humps
on
the
existing
Bay
Meadows
Drive,
as
well
as
the
new
section
I
feel
that
was
a
positive
mood
to
help
calm
the
traffic.
O
It
was
stated
by
the
developer
that
it
would
be
complete
between
three
to
five
years.
My
concern
is
that
during
this
time
our
Road
will
become
unsafe
delivery,
trucks,
construction
workers
and
equipment
plus
new
residents.
Moving
in
please
consider
speed
hunts
on
the
existing
Bay
Meadows
Drive
before
the
new
annexation
is
complete.
This
would
prevent
current
homeowners
from
experiencing
dangerous
speeding
traffic.
If
we
have
to
wait
three
to
five
years
before
they
are
placed,
there
will
be
nothing
to
slow
traffic
during
the
completion
of
our
neighborhood
last
year.
O
O
E
True,
you
know
I
have
to
comment.
Mr.
mayor
I
was
pleased
that
the
developer
was
willing
to
go
along
with
those
added
conditions.
Several
people
had
contacted
me
and
those
were
the
concerns
and
mr.
Cole
was
one
of
those
and
he
was
really
glad
to
hear
about
the
speed
bumps,
not
just
in
the
new
part,
but
the
whole
part
of
Bay
Meadows.
So
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
very
good
development,
I'm
glad
that
they
were
willing
to
work
with
our
citizens
and
I
look
forward
to
this
being
started.
This.
H
B
Out
also
so
all
right,
without
any
other
comments,
all
those
in
favor
on
second
reading.
Please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous.
Thank
you
item
number
three
under
old
business.

This
is
a
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
old.
They
can
overlay
design
guidelines
regarding
art
by
title,
an
ordinance
amending
the
old
a
can
overlay
design
same
guidelines
for
is
there
a
motion.
L
O
E
O
Q
Mr.
mayor
council,
well,
it's
kind
of
came
about
because,
right
now
the
design
review
board
is
the
final
authority
on
public
art
placed
outside
of
the
right-of-way
in
the
overlay
district.
So
there's
been
an
increase
in
interest
for
public
art.
However,
most
of
those
items
can
be
approved.
Administrative
Lea,
which
means
that
I
as
a
Planning
Director
and
the
design
review
board
chair,
can
sign
off
on
those
but
there's
some
level
discomfort
that
the
composition
of
the
Design
Review
Board.
Q
Isn't
in
there,
their
guidance
is
essentially
more
long
lines
of
thinking
about
not
overshadowing
architectural
detail
buildings.
Things
like
that
it
has
nothing,
there's
not
a
lot
of
training
on
that
board
with
regard
to
what
is
art,
what
is
quality
art
that
sort
of
thing,
and
so
the
board
have
a
few
work
sessions
and
felt
that
it
may
be
maybe
a
better
process
to
have
a
some
some
expertise
in
art.
Look
at
that
and
then
it
may
be
easier
than
to
administrative
Lea
prove
some
of
those.
Q
If
it,
the
art
itself
has
already
been
vetted,
it's
whether
it's
kind
of
overshadows
an
architectural
detail
or
some
important
element
of
a
of
a
building,
it's
kind
of
more
in
the
expertise
of
the
designer.
So
the
design
review
board,
though,
is
the
final
say-so.
It
doesn't
go
back
to
Planning
Commission.
They
just
need
a
certificate
of
appropriateness
from
the
Design
Review
Board
prior
to
installing
art,
okay,.
H
Q
Essentially
depends
on
how
often
the
Art
Commission
can
meet
the
and
right
now
I
believe
they're,
just
meeting
ad
hoc
as
necessary.
As
things
comes
up,
come
up
so
essentially
if
they
can
get
together
a
quorum
and
get
in
front
of
them,
then
once
it
gets
to
myself
in
the
design
review
board
chair
that
may
just
take
a
few
days
to
kind
of
work
through
our
side
of
it,
but
usually
the
the
part
that
draws
more
attention
is
the
art
itself.
Q
Q
Yes,
the
it
follows
when
we
amend
the
design
guidelines
for
the
old
a
can
overlay
or
the
history
preservation
guidelines
for
the
for
this
storage
district.
Those
are
treated
as
a
text
amendment
as
it
would
be
to
the
zoning
ordinance
as
well.
Then
it
gets
routed
through
the
Planning
Commission
in
that
process
for
their
recommendation
as
well.
Thank.
B
O
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
cut
in
November
2018,
we
did
borrow
8.82
million
using
the
installment
purchase
revenue
bond
method
at
the
time.
The
bid
that
we
accepted
in
the
terms
we
have
is
a
20-year
term
with
an
interest
rate
years,
one
through
15
of
3.7
4%
and
then
the
rate
between
years
16
and
2010
can
be
adjusted,
but
not
at
a
rate
higher
than
4%.
O
Now,
with
our
interest
rates
substantially
lower
and
after
consulting
with
our
financial
adviser
and
bond
council,
we
believe
refinancing
could
save
us
as
much
as
eight
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
over
the
remaining
18
years
left
on
the
payment
on
the
term,
and
these
savings
do
take
into
account
costs
associated
with
refinancing
I
recommend
that
we
consider
refinancing
this
debt
while
maintaining
the
eighteen
years
left
we'll
turn.
If
the
bids
received
are
not
favorable.
O
We
are
under
no
obligation
to
refinance
refinance
this
I
believe
I
sent
out
to
counsel
the
list
of
all
it
was
sent
to,
and
we've
got
a
legible
electronically
here,
David
Chitwood,
our
financial
adviser
and
our
bond
attorney
Gary
Polk,
and
they
are
available
electronically.
This
mean
to
answer
any
questions
and
should
it
move
to
second
reading.
There
are
two
things
we
will
know.
O
B
O
B
All
those
in
favor
of
first
reading,
please
raise
your
hand,
that's
unanimous.
Thank
you.

A
notice
late
this
afternoon,
the
infrastructure
Bank
will
meet
on
Monday,
July

and
one
of
the
items
is
our
application
for
the
powder
house
connector
due
to
social
distancing
and
such
we
can't
have
more
debris,
people
in
attendance,
and
we
have
15
minutes
to
make
a
presentation
and
then
the
board
reserves
the
right
to
ask
questions.
So
that's
a
matter
of
information
we
got
is
late
this
afternoon
and
also
briefly,
we
just
want
to
note
that
this
month,
our
city
corks
air
ride
out
celebrates
her
60th
year
with
the
city.
