Motion by Gary, second by Danny. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed?

Okay. Continuing our second public hearing, we have advertised a request for a three-foot setback from Mr. Bo Howell. Is there anyone here to speak to this, or has there anybody filed or written objections? There being none, it would be in order for the make of some vote.

Second.

Motion by Danny. Second by Gary. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? You're good. Josh. Okay. Josh?

I've got a comment on our report. Good.

Glad to be home. Quick update. Concrete crews are working and moving to ECM this week. And then our asphalt crews are two or three weeks out to start all the painting.

Can you send us an updated list of the streets that we'll work on this year? That means what we're planning on doing next year.

All in action, I have a change order for approval on our north industrial site closing. We're under vote.

So many motions. Danny, second. Brian, all those in favor? Aye. Thank you.

Ned White, we've got a question. One more question. Sorry. The water pressure issue in Ferris Drive.

We figured that out. Yeah, we've got some. Well, we know what's causing it, but the problem is the solution. We have some things we're going to try. I've been engaging Mr. Hillwater, trying to get there. I think we're going to issue Front Hall State, the independent nonprofit organization that we're going to cover. And I've been trying to get them up here. I've sent them all our pressure data. I'd love for them to come look at it before we just start trying things. I know we've talked on the phone. I haven't been able to get them down, but it's still working. But I think I have some, maybe some quick solutions we can try. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Yes, sir. Next would be, I need a motion and second to get your consent agenda approved. Motion by Brian, second by Jay. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? And we had a very light update this month. But other than that, there is a request in the folder on memo from Katie on approving amendments to the contractor licensing ordinance. And part of that is licensing with the state has kind of been a movement.

Do we need to approve it tonight?

We'd be best, yes.

I'll make a motion we approve it. When I read over it, it's not a whole lot of changes.

Motion by Gary. Second. Second by Danny. All those in favor?

Aye.

Opposed?

And that's it for me. All right.

Do this.

Glad we know where you're coming from. Good evening.

I have a planning commission item. Mayor Morgan thought that I'd please request an approval to advertise for Article 6.616 of the Land O'Neill Board. She's doing a therapy on South Pier. It's on South Pier and it's on foot. That's the right description. It's a request to advertise on.

So, Mr. Mayor. Motion by Brian. Second by Mayhead. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed?

Second item I have, Mr. Hardy-Ingram. He submitted an application and requested special exception to landowner ordinance article 8, section 803.17 to allow additional proof that 1115 North Yale, you all remember, was just revised several months ago. And he's the one person who wants to allow, ask him to allow special exception to advertise for it.

He's not on the corner there, right?

No.

But he's not a corner. He's not a corner.

That's his neighbor.

He killed the grass. If you look at the picture, his grass is dead, but he's got a curve there. He just killed the grass where he wanted to from the driveway. The black truck is the neighbor's driveway. I think they shared the driveway one time. One time, yes, sir. But he's deceased, and the brother no longer wants his driveway.

I didn't need, I didn't know we needed permission to do that.

I thought that was, we've been doing- You don't allow one driveway for a primary resident until we provide the ordinance.

Okay. We only allow one- Does he have to advertise or can we approve it?

You can have two curb cuts if you have a circular drive, but the ordinance reads one driveway for a primary residence unless you get a .

Yes, permission to advertise, that's for this.

Motion by Zinnia? I second.

Second. Gary, all those in favor? Aye. Opposed?

That's all I had to say.

No, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Anna?

How are y'all? Hey, Anna. Hey. Y'all have my report unless you need something from me.

Good job.

Thank you.

Anybody else?

Anna? I was just wondering if she's going to get that table that somebody's trying to donate to her.

Well, they're trying to sell it, but it's in my budget. You'll see it. She's putting it in her budget.

Whatever. Okay. All right. Chief? Y'all have my report.

Y'all have any questions? Nick? You know, we do not allow a set of fibers in the seedlings. We always try to push it out. Honestly, they're going to do it. We confiscated, I don't know, hundreds of To do what right? Stop the sale? It was a lot. Talking about that, we know that

in the city limits is illegal. How can we get that message out more?

Because I do hear a lot of .

It starts Friday night. So we need to put it in the paper and then put it out there. And I'm sure you probably have put it on the .

We can put it out more social media.

We've thought it for 35 years that anybody would stop it. By the time they get there, they're shot and they're gone.

Yeah, they're gone.

Moved on to the next spot.

Well in my ward, I hear I had a lot of gunshots.

I didn't hear a lot of gunshots. I sat outside all night.

I didn't hear a lot of gunshots.

I didn't hear anything on photo screen. I didn't hear anything on photo screen. I didn't hear anything on photo screen. I didn't hear anything on photo screen. I didn't hear anything on photo screen.

Jamie?

I don't have anything unless y'all have any questions about my report.

Good evening, everybody. I don't have anything outside my report unless you have any questions for me.

Questions away? Okay. Lucas.

Did you get your asphalt saw?

No. I'm working on the budget. I got to find them. I talked to my one today. We're going to get probably the PO this week. They got it. They got it in. I talked to him today and he said, look, I'll hold him.

We need to figure out a way to pay for it then because they need that saw to fix these holes.

Right. Well, Lucas and I talked. We're looking at the budget. So we're going to figure it out this week. Okay.

Because we approved the purchase, right?

You did. And Mylon got it ordered and I talked to him this week and it has come in. So I told him I would get with Lucas and we'll find the money this week.

We got a plan or some kind of idea in place to work on cleaning out some of the boughs, in particular Jones Bough starting to get real grown up running through town and then Pecan Bough out on the west end of town which spent a lot of money on that drainage project and it's starting to grow up now. I've also had a number of complaints or requests, I guess, for striking the streets. I haven't noticed anybody painting streets in a while.

Okay. There.

One quick question.

When you get a chance, would you check the lights in the alleyway between the parking and downtown? Some of the lights are out and we have complaints at night. It's dark. They are lights or energies? The ceiling lights in our alley.

Oh, in the walkway. In the walkway.

I got you. I got you. Okay. Thanks, Luke. Clint?

I've got a final change order, construction and a final work authorization amendment.

Motion by Robert. Second by Mark. All those in favor? Aye.

Opposed?

You got your grant?

Yeah.

Very good. You didn't get one in Cindy Highsmith's grant. It was a big grant.

I need two separate motions, please, for those two.

Okay.

Second. Oh, you said you would need two separate motions.

So I did one for the change order.

Do the first motion. I need one for the work organization. Second motion. Robert Morrissey. All those in favor? Aye. Thank you. All right.

Christian?

I'm going to report. Let's have something for me.

No, we just need to follow up on that assessment that we did of all the parks. Be sure and think about those things when it comes to budget time. Thank you. That's all I have.

Lady A?

I do not have anything to make a motion to approve.

Motion by Gary, second by Robert. Do you have a question? Okay. Then you're going to stay. Motion by Gary, second by Robert. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? What can I do?

I don't know what I've got. Is this an executive session item, this letter?

We have one executive session. I hope we can go around paper first so we can get it done. Robert?

This weekend, some of the things I did there, I had the front of my house rearranged. I used that to build off the table, the atmosphere, the car use that I had on but with all that being said the bricks according to that middle country everything was all in the street and that being out there at that time was one street and lucas came out and took care of that to make sure we didn't get anything filed you didn't hit me

Sir, you didn't hear me. Well, we need to clarify that since you're on YouTube. I just want to say that I'm excited that I graduated this past Sunday from my professional municipal

Officer of certification.

Congratulations.

I just had some concern over some potholes which is all over the city and I let them know that the public worker is working on that and doing the best he can to get everything completed.

All right. That's why I'm getting with Lucas about that saw. That's what it's all about. I don't have anything, Mark.

All right. I don't have anything. I appreciate what all y'all are doing in this heat. I know it's making it a whole lot tougher on everybody. Watch your people. Make sure they get plenty of water. Keep everybody healthy as we try to work through this. We ain't even got to August. Maybe we'll get a break here somewhere.

Yes. Does the city provide water? Can we provide water? Do we provide water? Or can I donate water to you? Lucas, do we give y'all water for your people that are out?

I don't know.

We'll find out who doesn't and find out to make sure that all apartments that are out in that and maybe you see about we can get some of the upgrade or anything, make it up in those big bags.

That's what we do on our bus, five gallon jugs, whatever they are, orange things. Okay. We do want to take care of that. And it's all right now.

All right, Brian. We have a litigation update and a public safety issue.

I make a motion we consider entering a session for litigation update and public safety.

Second.

Motion by Brian, second by Gary, all those in favor? Aye. Make a motion. We're headed to the executive session. It's a motion by Brian. It's a motion by Zinnia. All in favor? Aye. We don't have any questions.
