Town Council - Regular Meeting

All right, I'll put you on speaker now. All right, we'll go ahead and get started.

I'd like to welcome everyone to our third special regular meeting in three months. It's funny because Danny McIntosh has signed up to speak, and his topic is September, and I'm pretty sure that we're going to have a regular meeting in September. Before we get to adopt the agenda, I have a motion to adopt the agenda. I'll make that motion.

I'll second.

All in favor? Aye.

Aye.

Before we get started, I'm going to do something just a little bit different. Ms. Hockaday is on the phone here. She's out of town. She's in Florida, but she's joining us. Can you hear me, Heather? Or Florida? Charlotte. I'm not in Florida, but whatever you may want to think, I'm in Charlotte.

I can hear you.

Okay.

Hello, everybody.

And Harrison, Harrison Tyner is going to do an introduction in just one moment. That's not on the agenda. I'll turn that over to Harrison. But I do want to recognize Mr. Tracy Hilbert with HGA. He's going to speak in just a moment. Tracy's been heaven sent for the town of Barnaby. I can't tell you enough about what this man has done. He's worked very hard with Leslie and Chad and Heather and myself. He's... He's a very bright individual, and he's good at what he does, but he's going to be speaking in just a few minutes, but I just wanted to do a little bit of an introduction to Tracy. Harrison, I'll go ahead and turn it over to you if you want to do the introduction.

All right. And we're very pleased with how he's taken the job. So we're expecting great things.

Good deal. All right. Congratulations. Thank you very much.

So if anybody has anything they want to talk about, we'd be glad to do that at any time. Nice to meet you. Thank you very much. Thank you. All right.

And y'all are welcome to stay if you want to.

You're definitely welcome to stay. Feel free to leave if you want to.

Can we understand either way that goes? All right. Public comment.

Mr. Danny McIntosh.

September.

Well, the first thing about September is getting staff, council, mayor. Tax collector, mail me a bill. I'll send you a check. September's coming.

We are working on that.

That's one thing.

But if you pay in August, you get a discount.

Not in the town.

Not in the town.

I didn't get one from the town.

Well, you're not done yet. Yeah, not yet. You will. September.

Everything's all right.

Yeah, that's right. It's coming.

For 68 years, I was blessed with September weather in Yancey County. And I live for September weather. It's one of the more perfect things in God's creation is September weather in Yancey County. Of course, now we know it can turn vicious. So we'll just hang on and see what we get. One of the things that I wanted to say tonight, I've been over to the book store. And now, here's my, well, I didn't retire, got a new supervisor, but Sharon is behind me. She's letting me read some just for the fun. I haven't done that in my entire adult lifetime. It's always been reading for purpose, for occupation, whatever. But now I'm getting rid of some for the fun, so. The literary festival is going to be September 12th. That's the 12th and 13th. And there's like 24 or 25 authors coming. And this year I'm having to change the story to get ready. But I wanted to tell you about Crystal Wilkinson is going to be here. And she has put together stories and recipes from five generations of black country cookers. And I think it's on Friday night between her and the Root Down folks, they're going to serve a meal out of this cookbook. And I'm going to try to get tickets for that. I'm about to see if that's going to be good. When I get this book home, some way or other, I'm going to have to figure out how to make sure and recognize the recipe for it. Indian Creek Chili's on page 180. So I've got to get that better. So what I'm saying to you is if you participate in Literary Festival, this is an opportunity to get ready because they've got most of the books that we've offered over in the book store. I think Literary Festival is truly a great thing for the town. It does a lot. Thank you all for what you do. We'll try it another month.

Thank you, Dan. Everyone had the opportunity to look over the minutes from the special meeting.

I make a motion to approve the minutes.

I'll second.

All in favor? Aye. No public hearings, no presentations. Great.

Not on my list.

All right. We'll move on to you then.

All right. Thank you, Mr. Mayor and council members, staff, and audience members. Sorry I'm not there with you tonight, but I had a little scheduling snap in. I thought where I'm going tonight, I was supposed to be going tomorrow night, but I think that comes with age.

Can we put that on the microphone?

Hold on, ma'am.

Hang on a minute.

Hold on just one second. Yeah. Try it now, Heather. Is that better?

That's a little accurate. Yeah, if we're getting bigger.

Let me try my phone, Heather.

Just to make sure.

Maybe I'm talking too loud.

No, you're not talking loud enough. Talk a little louder.

Talk louder?

There you go. Okay.

Okay.

Okay. First thing on my list is project updates, 118 North Main renovation. We're getting closer and closer. I hope by the end of August that we are done. There's a little bit of, they're ready to pour the sidewalks on the backside of the building, get the paving done. They're continuing, I think, to lay some carpet in the offices and the upstairs building. part of the building and I think they're also working on the sidings. So the last meeting we had was last Thursday and they are on target certainly to be down to a punch list by the end of next month. So we're excited about that. ARPA, the East Main Sewer Interceptor Project has been kind of a thorny situation for a while. Had some damage probably from Haleem, but it wasn't as prominent as it is now considering other rain events that we've had where the embankment behind Larry Lewis's property and also down around the triple edge property towards Pensacola Road received a lot of erosion on those creek banks. And so the project scope is changing. We're working with DEQ, Withers-Ravenel is the engineer on this project, and we are trying to get a new scope of work basically the bulk of the funding that we got through the arbor grant will go to replacing and repairing line in those areas and stream bank restoration in light of that withers has had to do some more design work and they've sent an amendment i've reviewed it with michelle and leslie and and the engineering firm we will be able to make um This money in the budget that the grant money we already have, we're not expecting that there'll be any other funding that will be necessary, but I would need a motion to approve and authorize the mayor to sign that amendment to the contract.

I'll make that motion.

I'll second that.

All right.

Okay. Next, we've got Tracy with us, thankfully, to talk to you guys about the Redundant Raw Water Intake Project. And I'm just going to turn it over to him, and he'll tell you where we are with FEMA on that project right now.

I've been investigating what it would take to put the system back the way it was. It's been determined that because of many factors, it can't go back where it was. The biggest of all reasons, if you say there's not enough flow, it won't get involved. Heather and I have been working with FEMA on some different options. issue a check. We thought that we could provide more source in a different way, a little bit cheaper than what they were offering, but we needed a lean way to use some of the money in a different way for the town. This became apparent since then based off an engineer's estimate that we're looking at somewhere around between $20 and $30 million to find out more source than the estimate. What we have is around $60 million. So, a huge delta for the town. So, we've talked with the deputy construction the last being last week about leaving this what's called the standard plan, which means the actual cost project, the pay for the project in its entirety, whatever the cost is. So it's going to have the same finish basically by the same service, and it's going to be a surface water treatment plant instead of pouring the water out of the mountains, the way it did in the past. It's going to set up another plant on a different body of water, provide a redundant source, but also give you the ability that once it's up and going to be able to bring We're going to replace the board session. I'm going to ask you to present to y'all hopefully at your next meeting to take us to the next step, which is basically doing water analysis on the new body of water, trying to determine the portion of action where it could potentially be desired so that Russell and Go start The cost of the big deal throughout this process initially being $142,000 to all the engineers, and we were about to cap out that $142,000. Knowing that the replacement in time would be around $16 million, the conversation last week was being able to provide you what's called an engine cost, or your engineer fees up front, a little bit bigger size. is to go to the next step which would be assess the water source determine the best location start doing the design and get it to the point almost to where we're going to put it out there so you'll be seeing that classroom really soon um we've anticipated all the construction costs which are more than 25 million dollars um remember this is a 100 project federal funded There could be some restrictions on funding moving forward. Heather and I will be working with the state and emergency management officer to make sure that the programs are made available so we can tackle the project through its entirety. One of the big holdups is going to be once we determine where the location is, it's anticipated we have around 18 to 24 months of permanent DQ. So, two to five years from now, it'll be done, but it's going to provide you a lot of resource moving forward, at least for expansion.

I don't think so.

I think you covered it.

Obviously, this project has evolved, you know, as circumstances with the previous site and the work that could or couldn't be done there. So, you know, I think we're just moving along at FEMA's rate. We'd like to move a lot faster if we had the money in hand, but if we are able to get this project signed and bid and completed, it's going to be a really good thing for the town of Burnsville and Yates County.

So if y'all got any questions.

Then y'all might, whenever it's Leslie's turn to go over all the budget numbers, if you have any questions about any of the other projects, be glad to have that conversation of where we're at and how we got there and where we're going with those as well.

Thank you, Tracy.

Okay, the next item on my list is a fun item. The John Yellowjacket Bailey marker dedication ceremony, which is going to be this coming Saturday, August the 1st at 9 a.m. on the town square.

The marker itself is going to be placed on the south side of the square in a place that we felt would be most visible for it.

There's, I think, a good article in the paper this week and also a community close-up that tells about Mr. Bailey and his family and the contribution he made down in the town of Burnsville. And y'all are welcome to look at those. I think Chad has also maybe put something up on our website if you want to learn more about it. But it's a project that Phil and Wilson Sort of spearheaded starting a couple years ago. And again, it's taken us this long to get to a place where we have a hometown hero marker to be placed on the square to recognize the founder of our town. You know, he lived here and his wife, they had 20 children. So there's not many people who have been here in Yancey County for generations that aren't somehow related to each other through the Bailey line, Bailey or the Ray line. Her name was LaVayna Ray. So I hope everybody can come out, spread the word. We definitely would like to have a good crowd to celebrate that event. The next item I have is a resolution to rescind all policies related to the North Carolina Office of Historically Underutilized Businesses. The budget that the legislature passed and the governor signed into law a few weeks ago eliminated, repealed, rescinded all of the state requirements for businesses making efforts to get minority participation or women-owned business participation with any state or local government construction contract. This is following in line with some of the things that are going along at the federal level, even though the federal level has not repealed any statutes yet. We do have some executive orders from the president that follow in line with these regulations or the repeal of these regulations. And we have been instructed, I've had conversations with people at the School of Government that we need to get anything out of our procurement policy, our minority participation plan policy, all of those things need to be rescinded to be in compliance with the state law. So I have drafted a resolution for that purpose, and I need you guys to approve it, please.

I have a motion to rescind all policies related to the North Carolina Office of Good.

I'll make that motion.

I'll second.

All in favor? Aye. All right, motion carries.

Okay, the last thing I have is the annual tax settlement and order of collections. I think you guys have that. I think you guys have that in your packet.

Basically, we have, let me pull it up on my stuff.

Sorry, left the actual form. Our levy was $1,465,469.35. During the last fiscal year, or the 2025 tax year, we collected $1,450,720.11, and we still have an outstanding balance of past due taxes of $14,749.24. So that would be... The settlement of all the taxes collected in the prior year, and you have a list of those that are unpaid that should also be in your packet. So we did pretty good. That's 99%. That's good. Jackie did a great job reminding people nicely that they needed to make these payments. And then we have also a list of taxes that are from insolvent individuals or companies. Those are taxes that we've been trying for the past five or more years to collect. And they don't exactly come off this list. You'll still see them on the list, but we would be relieved of efforts to try to make collections on these. There's five. No, I'm sorry, there's eight. And that amount is $1,753.03. So I need, I guess, you guys to approve the annual settlement and the insolvent list. And then I have one more item, which would be the authorization for me to collect for the coming year.

I believe so for all three yes I'll make that motion motion carries

Thank you. I think that that is it for me. Unless you guys have something else you want me to answer, bring up. It's like everybody else has got their stuff ready to go.

Anybody have anything to say?

Just have a good time. I'm going to try. The best I can.

Bring souvenirs. Thank you.

All right, I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much. Appreciate you.

Bye.

Bye.

All right. We're going to move on to Mr. Fox with the court's update.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The only thing I wanted to do is... the fire department again so we'll do it like a cater lunch cornhole tournament probably some uh gift cards those kinds of things gift cards yeah yeah so please come in and join us what time is that i was imagining we'll probably do like a black

move on to mr shanedale public works update thank you mr mayor i guess has anybody that's been around town today you've seen all kinds of stuff going on they're trying to get a lot of stuff finished before the crafts fair trying to get Lines tied in, and we've had a few issues with that today. Lines wasn't exactly where they were supposed to be in. One or two blocks on lines that was dead after they dug things out. There's a line missing and a new line over here that's never been put on a set of plans. But anyway, there's been a lot of stuff like that that's happened throughout this project. So bear with us just a little while longer. Most of the stuff as far as Carolina Specialty's end of the project is nearing a close. I mean, they're still working on Swiss Avenue trying to get some things done. They've got a test pulled on, well, the lower part of Swiss Avenue passed the other day. They have pulled a pressure test and everything on the upper portion of Swiss Avenue. Looks like it's going to pass. They should start probably tying in Those lines, probably sometime next week, I'll have to pull back tea sample and all that on it. But hopefully they will get out of the way here before long, we hope. Still a lot on the Main Street side that's left to go though. But we're working on it as we get down through there. They've actually started bringing in a few more crews, so they're trying to speed up the process. I think Heather mentioned the base main sewer interceptor. We're still working with Withers and Cajun on that to get all that situated. Let's see, what else? Sewer plant project's still going pretty well. They're getting ready to start next week pouring the floor and everything for the new five plant. So that's another piece of this puzzle that's getting a little closer. Let's see here. The water service line. Well, everyone should have received a letter. I don't know. I think it was last year when we sent that letter out toward the fall or something. And there will be about 200 more people that's going to get another letter probably in the next few days. We have to randomly pick The computer randomly picks 200 services that we're going to go out and pothole. There will be a contractor in here. I cannot remember the exact name of the contractor, but they will be in here starting August the 17th. So if you all are one of the lucky ones that happen to get one of those letters, you'll know why these people are out there trying to dig a hole on each side of your meter and figure out what's taking place, trying to figure out exactly what lines and what the material is on each side.

And it will be a minimal impact.

It will. Most of them, as long as they can get their back truck, trailer, whatever they're going to be using at the time, they do a thing called potholing. You take a back truck and you make a small hole about that big and then put it back in. They use vacuum and water to cut the ground. So, I mean, if it's asphalt or concrete, that's not going to be the case. But, you know, they'll, in fact, have to do a little solid and everything then. But everything should be put back to the way it was before and all that. But it's one of the things that the state's requiring now. So we just, some of that information that we've got to have to send in to them. It could, uh. out of this a lot of work later on, I'm afraid. But anyway, that's part of it. A lot of this is still old lines, and I think a lot of it has been changed over the years, but I feel like there's probably still some that's out there. We will find out here before long. I think it's pretty well everything I've got.

So one kind of question. During the craft fair, are they totally shut down?

We're getting them out of the road during all that.

That would be a great thing.

Yes.

And then the pump house on Shepherd, is it functional?

The pump house, it is functional. We had a few issues with it because, I don't know, they were setting it on it at some point given time. It had got checked. I don't know if it comes from the factory like that, but every now and then it would pump everything up to about 200 PSI. So that's the reason everybody was getting plenty of water pressure, and the next time you'd check it. You wouldn't have a whole lot of pressure. So now that thing is supposed to be set about, I don't know, right now it's about 130, 135 PSI that we've got set at. And it should be pretty well maintaining that. Now granted, of course, at the top of the hill, you know, the elevation is going to change it. It's 135 there, probably roughly at the top of the hill, you're probably going to lose, I don't know, you'll lose a lot more than 20 PSI. That's probably what. 100 foot elevation difference you'll at least lose probably 50 I would say somewhere in that neighborhood but you know and we can adjust that somewhat but we can't that 200 psi on that line is not good we don't want to do that often because that means everybody that's at the very bottom They get way too much pressure. So if it's not panning out, kind of let us know. We will adjust things a little bit in small increments to where we can kind of make everybody happy on both ends, hopefully. But that is not complete. The pump station is not. fully complete. They're in the process of doing the SCADA. They've not done the startup and everything on the generator. There's still a few other odds and ends that's left to do, but the pump station, as far as the pumps and all that, is complete and done. We're just not able to watch it on SCADA and all that.

So it's going to be on the internet. It will. Because that's all the Zito trips.

It will. That will be something nice, because before, you know, we relied on a phone call.

Had it come up.

Yep. We were out on a phone call. So now we'll know if anything goes down up there and we'll get phone calls, text messages, alerts, just whatever. Thank you, Shane.

All right. Thank you, Shane. Ms. Leslie.

Thank you, sir. I feel tired after listening to Shane. All right. Okay, I sent the budget versus actual out today because I wanted to give the full month. but you should have it in your email. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I coded analysis and employed her job to the wrong thing, so I fixed that.

But what I have to talk about is the FEMA project ordinance, you know, capital project ordinance.

Okay, this is where we are now. You know, this is an ever-changing thing, as you hear Tracy. We've kicked it up on The redundant water intake to $16 million. Westwater treatment plant, $5.4 million. Let's see if there's any other big ones. We've got an additional two-something in the maintenance for the temporary intake. But yeah, as he was saying, this is where we are now. It's at $32,400. But I'm sure it's going on up, isn't it?

Well, the dollars you see there... So it doesn't have to come out of your actual budget. So the dollars were increased based off of what's in the pipeline with FEMA, as you should see within the next 30 days. The Category B or the temporary system that Shane loves so much increased by $253,000, and that's the most actual cost.

your budget so we're working to in every effort we can to make sure that we can have the money there ahead of time to pay the bills when they get here it's a really nice thing that we've not had to pay the light bill on these two for this year and Tracy is just great though he's been a wonderful asset to have but this is the latest in the work of you know the work in progress and the kids are okay with it

dollars by FEMA. Once these other amounts actually obligate for the next 30 to 45 days, we'll do an amendment for that and that will increase that number by about 1.25 million dollars. And that gives us the ability to, we've got to be reimbursed 100% for our services to the end of the project.

We need to approve that. Yeah, do you want to approve both of them together? Yeah, go ahead and do it.

Alright, then this is the Bowlands Creek a borderline, and it's done on this actual grant. I'm just adding the local contribution at $1,100 because we had an invoice that was associated with an easement that was slow coming in, and we were already so far on the closeout process with it, it was just too much trouble. I mean, it was more trouble than it was worse, so we're just going to pay the $1,100 from us if that's okay. It's still 812,691, and then there'll be a different one and OSBM money, but that's later on. So, this one is done. So, the motion to approve them both will be good.

Can I make that motion? All in favor?

All in favor? Motion carries.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, Leslie.

You're so welcome.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. We are, we did have 29 calls for this month. 20 of them were today, right? New York City. And that gives us, we're at 259 for the year right now. We did complete our annual hope test and we did farm that out this year rather than try to do it ourselves it was just getting too much and we have a contract with the firm to do the hose testing and they tested 13 000 somewhat feet of hose and we got all that done it's all been certified and checked off had the ladder test done the aerial ladder has been checked and all the hydraulic oil they passed and also tested on the ground ladder so that's all been done so most of our testing except for air packs have been done for the year so

Were you able to, it's kind of irrelevant with this, but were you able to test any of that hose that you got over there, any of the bulk hose?

The, that was donated?

Yes.

Some of it, some of it is in that a lot of it had leaks in it, and so we had some, we had service for the over there. We did get a bunch of hose from a nuclear plant that emergency management had that was brand new hose and we loaded our new truck with it and all of it passed which was a good thing because it's new. It actually stores couplings which is a little different than what everybody's used to. It's about a quarter turn lock together. But that did well. And we pumped a little water over on the

A storm drain is stopping up down there. Ingles is, well, anyway. Been made aware? Oh, yes. Most definitely. And I've got engineers that's working on that and trying to get something lined up to get that situated. That's created a lot of grief. I saw it today.

Do you have anything for Niles? Any questions for Niles? Move on to Chief McKinnon. Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

You have our activity log. Again, we're getting ready for next week, and part of that process is our normal road closure with DOT where we have to pass an ordinance. I hope you all got a copy of that, plus as well as the I think is it the next week, Chad, or the week after on Saturday? I can't remember the date. It's either the next Saturday or the Saturday after. This is the back-to-school thing we've done for the last few years with the sheriff's office and PATH and those kinds of things. So I would see the motion to pass those two ordinances so we can shut the street down if these people would not have anybody get run over.

I'll make that motion for both of these.

All in favor?

Aye.

Thank you. Again, we'll be shutting that down Thursday afternoon next week. So we'll be called unawares. Open back up Saturday night once we get everything cleaned back up. So it'll start raining Thursday morning. Usually Thursday about 1 o'clock. Yeah, a little storm. The unusual, making sure that one without a good heavy rainstorm.

You've got a lot to look forward to.

Zoning code enforcement, floodplain-wise, we do have, I know I keep talking about there's projects out there. A couple of them are getting much closer. I think our next planning board meeting will be like October. Is that right? Chad, and I feel like we'll probably have to have a special meeting before then. A couple of these are getting closer. One is the commercial property over at the old Texaco. I don't know if y'all know it's just been cleaned up, but they're getting started and should be pulling some permits pretty soon. That'll have to go before design review because it's going to be a change. That's a lot of change of views with some of that. So that'll be in the future, but we'll let the planning board know and try to establish some sort of special meeting before then once I get that paperwork. That's all I have.

Thank you, John. Mr. Corbin.

Thank you. We had a couple cancellations for July. It's been a little slower this month with 18 days rented or booked. And August is a little, has a little bit more with 21 days booked. But once we get into September and all the way through December, it is a mad dash. We are very busy for the rest of the year for the most part.

Isn't that kind of typical for July and August, though?

Yes and no. Looking at a couple years back, we did stereotypically have more events in June and July, but we had less in January and February. It's kind of like it's flipped. It's still equaled out to about the same amount per year. With the downtime, we've been able to do a lot in the building, get some of the grout in the tile that needs some attention, get that cleaned up, a lot of the Closets have been cleaned up and organized. Walls have been painted. The building's just in a better place at the moment. A lot of maintenance has been done with our downtime. But that's all that I have. If you have any questions, I'd love to answer them. Do you have a question?

No, I appreciate you, though.

Thank you. Appreciate you, too.

No questions.

Council member reports. Anybody have anything they want to report on?

Not me.

I will say for the general public, and Shane can chime in on it, but we have two residents who live on Res Board with us today, but that problem over there is it's on private property. So that is Engel's property, and they were made aware of it on day one, and they've been in contact with Brian and Shane and Heather. So I think they're... Moving forward with coming up with a plan, but that's a difficult project. People don't realize how deep that stormwater is over there. I think Niles, somebody from the fire department put a section of hose down in it, and there's this much sticking out of it. That's a 50-foot hose, so that's a storm.

Those storm drains are deep.

It has been a lot of aggravation for the residents and the fire department. Hopefully, we can get it fixed.

Would it be a possibility to talk to them about that intersection while we're into this? Maybe the timing on that might be good.

About the stop sign? Yeah.

Yeah, see if we couldn't rework that whole thing while we got it tore up.

Okay.

Well, that stop sign coming out of there is the only stop sign that doesn't have one of those yellow strips or a white strip indicating that that's the major road. Yeah. And I think Randy's had an accident there. My wife did. And I did also in the last month.

But I will compliment the chief. He did get them to cut them bushes down, so at least you guys can see everything.

Did you got I mean did most people on reservoir use the other the upper entrance before it was blocked off Now I can't even do that. Everybody's probably laughing.

Probably safer to go up into the parking lot and turn around and come back and make a right-hand turn. I mean, I know that's not...

I actually cut through the bank when I need to head east. I don't even go to that intersection.

No one stops at the stop sign.

Yeah, I almost got hit there.

It was a poorly designed. It is. Right. I don't know what the fix is because it's not a simple fix because of the amount of traffic.

Yeah. And then we discussed the stop sign that's at Burger King is actually on private property. It's not our sign. So we can't actually write stop sign violation tickets for violation. It's not a duly, the law reads a duly erected stop sign. If we didn't erect it, it's on private property. So we've been discussing maybe some other options of doing something to make that safer through there and seeing what options we have.

Allow cars to go into that property, but don't allow them to come out there. Have them go out where the other place is so that there's not this congestion. Usually there's a race to get to the block.

Oh, sure, it's a lot.

So there's a way to not allow them to come out of that property there. They can go into it there, but not come out. If they're going to come out, they need to come out the other, yeah, over by the bank and behind

So we are looking at some different options of what we can do. We've got those DOT right away through there too that we have those concerns as well. So there's a lot of things to play, but we are looking at it.

All right. Anyone else have anything? Peace, y'all. Denise, you got anything?

No, not today.

i just want to say thank you to all of the town staff that i i knew this was a big deal but now experiencing it seeing how the whole town comes together for this event so that's been really exciting but running on fumes here we've got one more week and we're craftsparing so i'll address the elephant in the room that's next friday and saturday august 7th and 8th a lot of people have been confused because it's the first friday and saturday of August, not the first weekend. So if we have some confused people walking around, just set them straight. We're going to have more than 200 vendors, the usual setup, the usual closers, but this year we do have town center. So we'll have about nine or 10 craft fair vendors on there, I believe. All local food trucks this year, like Brian said, road closures begin at 2 p.m. on Thursday. We're trying to get that word out to everybody because somebody's going to be upset. They're always going to be upset. But we will, again, have the shuttle service as per usual from Go Grocery and Rosa's parking lots during there. So folks can park over there. If you want to volunteer, we've got a great volunteer form on our website, yanceychamber.com. We can always use more volunteers and more hands helping, and we'd much appreciate it. Other than that, other than the crafts fair, We joined Amy Wellness Foundation, sorry, Amy Wellness Foundation, AmeriHealth Caretas, and other community partners this past weekend to celebrate the demo day for Lampost Lofts. There's going to be 11 units, two retail spaces, and hopefully two live work spaces, we'll see. But it was really exciting and a really cool investment in downtown. And behind the scenes, we've been transitioning to a new system, so our website might look a little different now, and there's some new exciting things happening behind the scenes. But just thank you for your continued partnership, and see you next week.

Good luck.

Thank you.

No, just business as usual. We had some remote. We had two people, I think, with presentation. They never did get the remote things where you could hear it.

All right. No closed session. Next special.

September 3rd. September 3rd. No further business to have a motion to adjourn? Yes, sir.

I'll second. I agree.

Thanks to everyone for being here.
