“I think if folks see what you're saying and have a chance to ask the questions, it probably will clear that up.”

“We're just going to get two weeks to confirm that, because the ordinance currently says that lots shall not include more than one zoning district. If someone who has a split zone lot comes to the county and says, hey, I want to add a deck onto my house that sits on this area, we have had to rezone that in the past in order to allow them to just do that deck or I think there was a pool. So currently the code does not allow folks with split zone property to exist, essentially. Basically, they have to get rezoning. Yep. Well, we'll get clarity on that then. We'll get clarity on that. Can we have…”

“Right. What his amendment did was it said that anybody who has a split zone property, they get treated the same way as someone who is AGC. So if I own property that has RUD and AGC, then his amendment would say, you can go ahead and sell your property. You can plat it. You don't have to come to us. And you can, if you want to buy property that's right next door that has the same problem, just like AGC. If I want to buy, if I own AGC land, I can buy AGC next door and I can recombine that, but it has to be the same exact zoning. So this would simply put the split zone parcels, it would not…”

“Do we have a second? Second. Motion and a second. Any other discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right. I remember to counts to consider awarding bid number 3033 for the construction of the bullets Creek volunteer fire department building addition to the lowest responsive and responsible bitter Salem builders of York. Poor total cost of $102,000, which includes the base bid of $99,000 plus $3,000 owner allowance contingent upon county attorney review and approval.”

“I think that would be a natural place for this to be discussed. The policy was drafted and circulated to council Friday. I think the issue in front of us now is a bid that was bid out in April. I personally appreciate that we're starting to have the discussions about what What is the county going to do in terms of taking on parcels or ownership? I think the question is, are we at that point now since we haven't had a chance to digest this?”

“Well, are there any questions? Because we don't have a motion. The issue before council right now is the issue of the bid. Are there any other questions for staff before we entertain a motion?”

“I will say that some of the folks who were with the Bullets Creek reached out. I think there's some confusion about what is being, since there is, are there any legal documents that have currently been drafted? Any MOU with the Bullets Creek about how this would work? Or would it include the land? Is there anything with legal on that?”

“So my personal opinion is before we would accept a bid, we would want to have this discussion, have the workshop, look at a prospective plan for how we're going to take property in, because this would be a major departure in what the county has approved. There are also some questions I have because there was suggested that they did have the funding in place in order to do this themselves and to get a loan. We've requested that other departments do that and they could have accomplished it for a bit of this amount. I think it would be good to have the workshop before we commit to something and…”

“Exactly. Well, I'll just say this. This Friday marks the 25th anniversary of September 11. And it's hard to believe that it's that long, that that time has come so quick. But I think, obviously, it's the time for us to reflect on the lives that were lost and the brave men and women who helped. rush towards danger and help our community um i also remember i think we all remember where we were on that day and how the community and came together and i'd love to see i hate that it takes those kinds of things for for folks to to pay attention um hopefully we will we will learn from that and and…”

“This time I'll call to order the York County Council Workshop for August 27th, 2024, 2026 to order. The first item on our workshop agenda is to have general discussion regarding ED incentives, ED fund policies, the status of our current projects and and just for purposes of Kind of opening this up one of the issues that council all collectively said they were interested in looking at is How do we find ways to improve this process?

“Just sitting here, minding my own business. So to me, we have two issues. One, I appreciate the questions that y'all put up. And I do appreciate, Mitch, a lot of the issues that we are hearing that we're getting public feedback from deal with projects that were brought before you were here. And so there has been a change at the helm in how do we Number one, how can we improve the process? And number two, where do we want to invest the ED funds, or how do we want to do that?

“So I'm going to start with a couple of things that I think are important that I agree with. First of all, all of our businesses. Our small businesses, our existing businesses, they pay 6% or more to be here. There's very few businesses that are allowed to get this Filos. And those Filos oftentimes go to 4%, and oftentimes below 4%, they're paying less percentage tax than even residents are under these Filos if SSRCs are given. What I believe is that our county is a great place to be. And I honestly think that most of our problems on this council have come from fellows and I think fellows…”

“I think the only thing that folks need to understand is that this is in an ordinance. So we can't willy-nilly go back and forth. What we can do is we can give more flexibility. We can change the ordinance to, say, 30 minutes, and then that gives us the opportunity to do whatever we want. But I think we have to set some parameters because right now it says 30 minutes, two minutes apiece, and we can't. Deviate from that but we can create some more flexibility in the ordinance if we want to give ourselves flexibility I think the bigger question and and I'd like to go ahead and tackle this piece…”
