UNDER SERVICE, MISTER DEW, THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. WE HAVE RESOLUTION CR 2224 DECLARING THE NECESSITY OF CONSTRUCTING CERTAIN SIDEWALKS ON GRANT AVENUE, PARK STREET, MIDLAND, FRONT STREET, AND LINCOLN AVENUE, CURTIS AVENUE, ELM STREET AND REQUIRE THAT ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS CONSTRUCT THE SAME. THERE IS A LIST OF PAST BILLS IN OUR PACKET, AND THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE CURRENT REPLACEMENT OF SIDEWALK S. IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION, IT'S OPEN. NOT HAVING ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS RESOLUTION HAS HAD ITS READING AND PUBLIC HEARING, AND I MOVE THAT IT BE APPROVED. SECOND. SANDERSON YES. SIEGRIST. YES. YES. YES. GARY YES YES YES.THANK YOU. MR. DUE THEN WE HAVE SAFETY WITH MISS ANDERSON. YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO TODAY WE
[Ordinance C-23-24 Enact Section 351.21 of the Codified Ordinances titled Parking Direction. Second reading and public hearing. ]
HAVE ORDINANCE C 2324, AN ORDINANCE TO ENACT SECTION THREE 51.21 OF THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES TITLED PARKING DIRECTION. WHEREAS THE CITY CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO THE DIRECTION OF PARKING, PARKING AND WHEREAS PARKING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE AUTHORIZED TRAFFIC MOVEMENT CREATES SAFETY CONCERNS FOR BOTH VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS. SO THIS ORDINANCE TODAY THAT HAS ITS SECOND READING, WOULD, IF APPROVED, WOULD MAKE IT UNLAWFUL TO PARK ANY VEHICLE UPON ANY PORTION OF ANY STREET OR IN DESIGNATED PARKING SPOTS ABUTTING A STREET IN A DIRECTION OPPOSITE OF THE DIRECTION OF THE AUTHORIZED TRAFFIC MOVEMENT ON THAT PORTION OF THE STREET. AND BEFORE DISCUSSION, I DO WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO MR. BERRY, WHO ORIGINATED THE LEGISLATION. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO FURTHER EXPLAIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THE THIS RESOLUTION OR ORDINANCE CAME AFTER A LOT OF DIGGING BY THE SAFETY DEPARTMENT AND MR. SMITH, IT ONLY I MEAN, IT SEEMS LOGICAL THAT PEOPLE WOULD NOT PARK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC, BUT WHAT WE FOUND OUT THROUGH LOOKING BACK THROUGH OUR RECORDS IS, IS THE KIND OF THE NEW TREND IS NOW, EVEN WITH BROADWAY HERE, YOU'VE GOT YOU'VE GOT PARKING SPACES THAT ARE NOT PART OF THE MAIN ROAD. SO WHEN WE LOOKED IT UP, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK[00:05:03]
ON THE MAIN ROAD. IF THE MAIN ROAD IS GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. BUT IF THERE'S CUT OUT PARKING LIKE THERE IS ON, ON, ON BROADWAY HERE AND ALSO AT BEALE AND SEVERAL OTHER OF THE AREAS IN THE CITY, THEN THERE'S NO NOTHING THAT PROHIBITS YOU FROM PARKING THE WRONG DIRECTION. SO I'VE WITNESSED ON TWO OCCASIONS PEOPLE PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, PARKING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC, PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, SO THIS IS THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION BASICALLY CORRECTS THAT WITHIN OUR CODE. SO TECHNICALLY, AS IT IS RIGHT NOW ON RIGHT HERE, YOU COULD ACTUALLY WHERE THAT CAR IS OVER THERE, YOU COULD ACTUALLY PARK CROSS TRAFFIC PARK IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND THEN PULL OUT ACROSS TRAFFIC GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. SO THIS CLEARS THAT UP. SO, I'M HOPING WE GET, SUPPORT FOR THE COUNCIL. AND I'D ALSO, MADAM CHAIR, LIKE TO AMEND SECTION TWO TO READ, THIS ORDINANCE IS HEREBY DECLARED TO BE AN EMERGENCY MEASURE FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY, FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY AND FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY. AND I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT A MOTION. I GOT A SECOND, SECOND. I'M SORRY. DID YOU MAKE THE SECOND? OKAY. I'M SORRY. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE, AMENDMENT? MR. SIEGRIST? YES, MISS HOUK? YES MISTER. HOLT? YES. BARRY. YES. DO. YES MR. BURROWS. YES. ANDERSON. YES THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU. SO NOW THAT THIS IS AMENDED, THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY AS AN EMERGENCY, DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY COUNCIL? I UNDERSTAND THERE'S NOBODY SIGNED UP. CORRECT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY. THANK YOU.THIS ORDINANCE HAS HAD ITS SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AND I MOVE IT BE APPROVED AS AMENDED. SECOND. MISS HOUK. YES, MISTER. HOLT? YES BERRY. YES. YOU. YES.
BURROWS. YES. ANDERSON YES. SEACREST. YES. SEACREST THANK YOU, MISS ANDERSON. AND THEN
[Resolution CR-23-24 Accept the Donation of the Beulah Park Arch from the Townsend Construction Company and thank them for their generous gift. ]
FINALLY, WE HAVE ON FINANCE WITH MISTER SIGRIST. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. SO TONIGHT WE HAVE RESOLUTION CR 23 DASH 24 TO ACCEPT THE DONATION OF THE BEULAH PARK ARCH FROM THE TOWN.AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AND THANK THEM FOR THEIR GENEROUS GIFT. AND THIS IS A, WHERE WHEREAS THE TOWNSEND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY HAS AGREED TO INSTALL A LIGHTED ARCH OVER COLUMBUS STREET AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE BEULAH PARK REDEVELOPMENT , THEY'VE COMPLETELY FUNDED THE INSTALLATION OF THE BEULAH PARK ARCH, AND THEY WISH TO MAKE A DONATION OF THE BEULAH PARK ARCH TO THE CITY. AND, SO IS THERE ANY, DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS FROM EITHER COUNCIL OR THE PUBLIC? I DON'T THINK THE PUBLIC KNOW. SO THIS IS A RESOLUTION AND IT'S, JUST ONE READING, AND I, I, IT'S HAD ITS READING AND PUBLIC HEARING. I MOVE IT BE APPROVED. SECOND. MISTER HOLT. YES, MISTER BARRY. YES SUE? YES. YES. ANDERSON. YES. SEGREST YES. YES THANK YOU. AND THAT BRINGS US TO
[Call for New Business]
THE CONCLUSION OF OUR BUSINESS AGENDA THIS EVENING. IS THERE ANY NEW BUSINESS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF COUNCIL? IF SO, THIS IS THE TIME AND THIS IS YOU TWO IN THE BACK END. ANY NEW BUSINESS. SINCE ATTENDANCE IS LATE, WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST CALL ON YOU PERSONALLY. WE SHOULD FORCE THEM TO COME UP AND SAY SOMETHING. THANK YOU. AND, IN LIGHT OF THAT, I WILL TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO YOU, MAYOR STAGE. THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, WE DO HAVE A MAYOR'S COURT REPORT TONIGHT. IF I PUT IT IN MY POCKET, IT WAS $54,195.20 OR THEREABOUTS. BUT I'LL GET THE. I'LL GET THE FINAL REPORT FOR THE NEXT MEETING. OH OKAY. YOU DON'T HAVE IT WITH YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO OTHERWISE, MEMORIAL DAY WAS, OF COURSE, JUST, THAT LAST WEEKEND. I WAS NOT HERE, I KNOW SEVERAL. YOU WERE NOT HERE, BUT, ANY TIME THAT WE CAN PUT A PROGRAM AND WHEN I SAY WE. IT'S A COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT'S NOT A CITY EVENT, WE PROVIDE PROTECTION AND SO FORTH FOR THE PARADE, BUT, THE AMERICAN LEGION AND VFW PUT THAT TOGETHER. AND THIS YEAR WAS SUCH A CROSSING BAND THAT, THAT WAS THE MARCHING BAND FOR, FOR THEM. AND I GUESS IT WENT VERY WELL.[00:10:06]
RODNEY HOW WOULD YOU JUDGE IT? THE PARADE AND THE CROWD WERE, A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING, BUT BETTER THAN I HAVE SEEN IN PAST, BUT, THE CEREMONY AT THE CEMETERY, THE SPEAKER OR MY MICROPHONE AND AMPLIFIER KEPT CUTTING OUT. SO THE PEOPLE, THE COMMANDER OF THE AMERICAN LEGION WOULD SAY, I WANT TO WELCOME YOU. OH, BOY. AND HE HAD TO KEEP TURNING THE MIC. AND THEY HAD THE GENERAL ASHER ASHENHURST. YEAH. MISS ASHENHURST AND SHE, SHE HAD THE SAME THING. AND THEY IT WAS ANYWAY. BUT WE THE COMMUNITY HAD A MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE. NOT ALL COMMITTEES NECESSARILY HAVE THAT. SO, YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED TODAY AND I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO MAKE REFERENCE, BUT I'LL JUST GIVE YOU SOME OBSERVATIONS THAT MIKE AND I AND CHUCK HAD TALKED ABOUT, THE OUR MONTHLY REPORT AND, THIS ACTUALLY IS THE START OF THE BUDGETING PROCESS. I MEAN, EVERY MONTH WE GIVE THIS THIS IS A SANITY CHECK AS TO WHERE THE PRIOR BUDGET IS. AND ALSO IT GIVES US AN INDICATION OF ANY HICCUPS AS TO WHAT WE CAN PREPARE FOR THE NEXT YEAR. BUT THE THING THAT IS GETTING A LITTLE BIT TROUBLESOME TO SOME DEGREE IS OUR INCOME TAX COLLECTIONS ARE UP 4/10 OF 1% FOR THE YEAR TO DATE, AND I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW WHAT, ALL OF YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WE DID BUDGET FLAT INCOME TAXES. AND THANK GOODNESS WE DID. BUT THIS THIS IS ACTUALLY THE BEGINNING OF THE BUDGET PROCESS. THIS IS OUR SANITY CHECK. OKAY, PARKS DIRECTOR JACK CASTLE, I GOT A HOLD OF ALL OF YOU AND BROUGHT YOU UP TO DATE ON THAT APPOINTMENT, JACK, WILL, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO HAVE HIM HERE. MAYBE NEXT MEETING, WHICH WOULD BE THE SPECIAL MEETING PRIOR TO IT WAS FOR HIM IN. BUT IF NOT, WE'LL DO IT AT THE NEXT FULL MEETING. THE HE IS A GROCERY RESIDENT, A VERY EXTENSIVE, EXPERIENCE. AND, HIS SCALE IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE HAD. AND NO FAULT OF ANYBODY. IT'S JUST HE JUST COMES WITH A DIFFERENT SCALE, HE HE KNOWS HOW TO MANAGE LARGE FACILITIES AND I THINK IT WILL BE A VERY IMPRESSIVE PERSON TO BE ABLE TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH IN RUNNING THE PARKS AND REC. SO ANYBODY HERE, ANYTHING DIFFERENT OR HAVE ANY COMMENTS THAT. OKAY TOMORROW, WE WILL BE ANNOUNCING THE, THE SENIOR CENTER AND A PLAY THAT THEY'RE PUTTING ON A PROGRAM THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON, COUNCIL MEMBER SECREST HAD MENTIONED THIS, COUNCIL MEMBER TED HAD, FREE RIDES FOR 55 AND OVER. YEAH, WE GOT IT DONE. WE GOT IT DONE. AND, I ASKED WHEN IT STARTED. IT ACTUALLY STARTED JUNE 1ST. NOBODY KNEW THAT. BUT, WE WILL BE HAVING, THAT, KICK OFF TOMORROW, WITH THE COTA REP TO BE ABLE TO BRING EVERYBODY UP TO DATE, 55 AND OLDER. SEEMED PRETTY YOUNG FOR A SENIOR, BUT THAT'S THE RULE. AND MY QUESTION ON THAT. THAT IS AWESOME. YEAH, IT REALLY IS. YES, SIR. IT IS.YEAH. YEAH. RIGHT IT'S JUST MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY STILL. YEAH THE PIO, SEARCH IS, TEMPORARY ON HOLD, DON, HAS AGREED AND JOINTLY AGREED THAT HE'S GOING TO STAY ON THROUGH YEAR END AND SO WE'RE PUTTING THE THAT SEARCH ON HOLD. WE STILL HAVE THE PEOPLE WHO QUALIFIED UNDER THE CIVIL SERVICE. THAT LIST IS GOOD FOR A YEAR, SO WE WILL BE GOING BACK TO THAT LIST WHEN WE REBOOT THE PIO, THE AIR, PERSON, WE HAVE THE NAMES AND I THINK THEY'VE BEEN SUBMITTED TO, CIVIL SERVICE. OKAY, SO WE HAVE THE LIST FOR THE FOR THE AIR PERSON, SO THAT'S GOOD. NEXT WEDNESDAY IS THE BOY SCOUT BREAKFAST. WE RAISE USUALLY AROUND $10,000 FOR THAT. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE AT $4,700. SO ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO MAKE A VERY GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION, IT'S MORE THAN WELCOME, AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT'S, IRONIC. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CITY MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT. THE SPEAKER AT THAT BREAKFAST IS DANA MCDANIEL, WHO
[00:15:04]
IS A FORMER CITY MANAGER OF DUBLIN. HE'S NOT THERE FOR THAT PURPOSE. HE'S ALSO RETIRED, I THINK EITHER A GENERAL OR MAJOR GENERAL, FROM THE NATIONAL GUARD. AND THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT. THE SERVICE DIRECTOR, WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THAT IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, WE'RE STILL DOING SOME DISCUSSIONS, AND WE'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE PEOPLE TO TALK TO, BUT, THAT THAT'S WHERE THAT'S PROCEEDING, IT IS NATIONAL PRIDE MONTH, IN JUNE, AND, WE WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT ON OUR WEBSITE AND, ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, LAST ITEM, OUR FORMER POLICE CHIEF, RON GABRIEL'S WIFE PASSED AWAY, AND, SHE'LL BE BURIED TOMORROW, SO THE VISITING HOURS WAS THIS EVENING.

THEY'LL BE HERE NEXT MEETING TO RECEIVE THEIR PRIZE AND GET SOME PHOTOS. SO TREAT THEM WELL, IT WAS A LOT OF ENTRIES. IT WAS EXCITING. AND WE HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH IT.

AND WE'LL BE HAVING TABLES AT THE WINE ARTS, AS WELL AS THE FARMER'S MARKET AND BIG SPLASH, WE'RE HOPING TO KIND OF WRAP UP THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN ABOUT A MONTH, SO WE CAN START DOING THE ANALYSIS, HAVE A DRAFT PLAN, PROVIDED FOR COUNCIL'S REVIEW BY THE END OF THE YEAR. I THINK THAT'S THE EXTENT OF MY UPDATE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.MR. HURLEY, I WILL MAKE THIS VERY BRIEF, I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON THE CONVERSATION FROM LAST COUNCIL MEETING ABOUT THE, THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL HAVING A DESIRE TO SEND A LETTER TO THE CARRIER, OR THE PROVIDER CELLULAR PROVIDERS, WE'RE DRAFTING THAT LETTER, WE'RE WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR CONSULTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S WORDED IN A, IN A FASHION THAT IS WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATE. AND THEN WE WILL ASK THEM TO MAKE THAT DELIVERY ON OUR BEHALF TO THE, TO THE CARRIERS THAT THEY'RE WORKING DIRECTLY WITH. SO IT HITS THE RIGHT INBOXES OR THE RIGHT DESKS FOR THAT. SO WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING AT THE END OF THE WEEK. AND THEN I WILL SHARE THAT WITH WITH CHUCK AND HE CAN SHARE IT WITH YOU ACCORDINGLY. OKAY.

HOLT, TWO THINGS, NOT THIS WEEKEND, BUT THE WEEKEND PRIOR, I VISITED DOWNTOWN. IT WAS THE NIGHT THAT WE HAD THE CONCERT AND FOOD TRUCKS. I DON'T. WAS THAT A FRIDAY? PROBABLY. SO THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN DOWNTOWN AND COULD NOT PARK. SO ON A POSITIVE NOTE, ATTENDANCE WAS HUGE. AND, MR. BOZO OVER THERE ALWAYS ASKED ME WHEN I TELL HIM THERE'S HARD TO PARK. HE SAYS, DO YOU ALWAYS FIND A PARKING PLACE? I SAID, YES, AND SO LAST, NOT THIS FRIDAY, BUT THE PREVIOUS FRIDAY, I'VE NOW EXPERIENCED NO PARKING. SO, I THINK THE SIGNAL THERE IS THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE COMING DOWNTOWN. IT WAS BUSY AND, WE JUST NEED TO BE AWARE THAT, WE'RE GROWING AND IF YOU WANTED EVIDENCE OF THAT COUPLE FRIDAYS AGO WAS GOOD PROOF. AND IN SECOND, NEXT WEEK ON THE AGENDA WILL BE THE ZONING MODIFICATION ON THAT WE'RE MAKING FOR CELL TOWERS. AND AS PART OF THAT, I'LL WORK WITH TODD AND WHOEVER TO GIVE KIND OF A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS, WHAT WE'VE DONE, WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT THE OUTLOOK LOOKS FOR RESOLUTION FOR THAT, SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT.
