“Okay. One of the reasons I am supporting, and I understand what you said, but prior to what you said, one of the reasons I was supporting a full cycle is to get that feedback from community council knowing that they were not made aware.”

“Does your second still stand? My second stands, and I still had a question. Another question? Yeah. Okay. So my other question was, and this has occurred before, I think on the same agenda where there is a state approved facility within that 1,000 foot difference or 1,000 foot radius. Because that happened with this application as well, I would like to take this time since we have that deferral to do some research to determine how they are state certified, but they are not approved through the county and how that impacts our capacity to make a confirmatory decision based on that distance…”

“OK. So with that being said, for me, the way our code reads, there might be a bit of ambiguity. Because if they're not registered with the county, do we still consider them with respect to that 1,000 foot distance requirement? sure so um because up to three you know we wouldn't normally know they existed and with these we didn't initially know they existed because they're not registered with the county it was happenstance so up to three um yeah absolutely”

“Thank you, and I just wanted to acknowledge for both items 1246 and 1247, both of these will be fire stations. Your SPLOST dollars at work in both Brookhaven and Tucker, so Super 6 and Super 7. And just want to say thank you to the team for the work that you're doing, and the community is very excited.

“I didn't get to attend that special call. I was hoping that the meeting I did attend, you guys would have been able to speak about it. I did send an email reply on August 19th with some of the questions and concerns that I had. Did you guys get an opportunity to discuss some of the commissioner's concerns?”

“Okay. It was a couple things. I would like to discuss them, but I wouldn't say they are anything that could be a major holdup, but depending on how the conversation goes, commissioners may feel the same. So I don't have a problem with supporting the majority's decision, but I did have some concerns that I did want to discuss.”

“Just to that committee. So if you wanted to add something to ERT, you could either go the route and the three of you, go you and your two co-sponsors, or if the committee chair wants to have that item on their agenda, then it could be proposed.”

“So that is something that came up in committee, and it only makes a reference, but it doesn't speak to any of the sound regulations. So the reference should support the item regardless of any changes that may be made.”

“Okay. Let's remove it and then we can come back and amend the ordinance.”

“Yep. Remove the reference. We've been waiting for months on another piece of legislation. That is not under the jurisdiction of the IRPS committee. Or amend the language to say if a sound ordinance is approved. Or exists. Or exists. Blasting is currently happening.”
