all right at this time i will
take a motion to
amend the agenda as written we do need
to add a
an executive session
and that will be
after
the citizens comment and the
constitutional officer report i'm chair
i'll make a motion if we
do that executive session
steve thank you and or second all those
in favor
the first thing we have today is the uh
approval of i mean excuse me our public
hearing with mr jim baldwin
thank you madam chair and members of the
board
um i'm a stand-in
to debbie milton was supposed to be here
but she had another meeting in
grundy tonight but it's my pleasure to
be here
to conduct help conduct this public
hearing tell you what it's all about
the community development block grant
program
has
instituted a second round of cdbg
funding
and those applications are due december
1st
so you what we have and i'll give this
to lonzo
the name of the project is the tiller
trailer park project it's out on route
19
close to elk garden
back in 2007
there was a per done on that
area
taking water out 19 at the time the
trailer park owner refused service
so steve you might have been
one of the
one of your projects
um
so
what's happened now is he's sold that
trailer park to another uh person
and they have requested
service there are 43 trailers there
they're all on private wells
that's not a good situation
uh the health department takes a strict
look at
surface water runoff and all those
issues that might affect private whales
but he's uh
committed to bringing water into the
trailer park
uh and serving those 43
trailers
as you see in from the
resolution i might have given mine away
but that's okay
it's a
536 thousand
five hundred dollar dollar project
and
the public hearings have been
the public hearings have been held there
have have to be two
so
what
uh the hearing as far as to get any
questions you all may have any questions
from the audience the public
and i'll try my best to answer them
and
after
that we're going to ask the board to
approve
the resolution that you have before you
contingent upon
two things the number of lmi persons in
the percentage is not
included
those lmi surveys are not completed yet
but we would ask if it's your pleasure
to pass a resolution giving your county
administrator the authority to sign that
resolution when those numbers are
are included everything else will be the
same that you see before you
lmi
percentage is critical you have to have
51 percent or better
for the project to be eligible for block
grant funding
typically in our part of the world
that's
generally what we find
so
don't expect that there will be any
any problem there but we just don't know
what those numbers are right now
but does anybody have any questions
i'll just make a general statement this
being the x this will be a great project
for the psa because doing it under block
grand it's 100 grand
it'll just be that that's a big
base customer base for not much work
uh in fact i would imagine they'll
probably come in under budget on that
so
yeah
because i'm not giving coveted prices
but they are going down we're
saying that that
you know
has abated some
we actually sent out certified letters
the chairman of the psa had me do
certified letters
to that trailer park and to the campbell
trailer park neither one of the trailer
parks wanted water at that time
expressing to them you know what the
cost would be at a later date just to
make sure that you know they knew
so madam chair may i ask a question
please um mr baldwin so
let me get this straight the the mobile
home park will be
uh each
mobile home will be
on its own meter
and not the landowners
master 43 service meters okay
anyone else with questions
any other concerns
we'll just take in like rod wicker's
church and anybody up on the flat
i i would think they probably already
you think they already have it all right
oh okay yeah it goes right by there okay
yeah
what's up anything
any questions
right anyone in the audience
anybody in the audience have a comment
or a question
tillers trailer park is right above elk
garden school
in that real sharp curve if anybody's
wanting to know the location
trailer court now
it's right along the shoulder of 19 19.
so you cut off
19
right down the hill into the park so
it's right there
the only comment i got is
we're doing a 4.9 million dollar vdot
contract through there so they need to
make sure that we get with vdot
especially on them shoulders because we
don't we don't want to rip up lines that
you're going to be installing right i'm
not aware that there are any lines
along the shoulder it'll be from the
existing line right
into the trailer park
maybe there will be a short amount of
space that you know for the extension
but
it's going to be mostly in the on the
road into the park rode into the park
because i if i can remember correctly
and this is just small talk it i think
it's the line is going down the medium
is that is america the line is in the
medium in that area but i'm not sure
there
there would have to be a i think there's
probably a six inch service line that
went across the road under a road board
there to serve some houses on that other
side so they would tap into that and go
down into the park we'll give it the psa
and i'll show them sure
what we've got on the engineering
drawers on the conceptuals that way they
know the service area what we're going
to be taking well that would that would
mean that uh when they go cutting this
road down they not they're going to have
to watch about the water line too
exactly yeah
if it's crossing right
all right anyone else anybody in the
public
like any other board member
all right seeing none we'll
close our public hearing thank you mr
paul we appreciate it welcome
yes ma'am chair i'd like to make a
motion we authorize uh
this project uh
based on a uh satisfactory only my
letter and authorized the uh county
administration administrator to sign
this document uh
upon a successful completion okay
all right david any further discussion
follow those in favor
you want to post all right thank you mr
baldwin
all right the next item is
the approval of our minutes from our
october 12th meeting so do i have a
motion to approve the minutes as written
so move madam chair lou do we have a
second
i'll second it david any discussion
all those in favor
new opposed
our approval their expenditures do i
have a motion to for the proving their
expenditures
steve
do we have a second second
carl
any discussion
all those in favor aye any opposed
all right um the next thing we have on
our uh
agenda is our committee appointments for
board consideration
and uh the one that we have mr andy
smith who had a four-year term it does
expire
on november the 6th
and i will make a comment here with this
for myself mr smith is in my district
and i also have mr mark mitchell
who i inherited from the
town mark was put on when he was here
and he was the
town manager he has since then moved
back out into my district i inherited
mark
so but last month at our meeting we said
we was going to do this based on trying
to reduce these numbers on these
committees
and at this time i would like to say
that i will not reappoint mr smith
because he does drop off
and it does end at the end this month so
that will help reduce because i will
have a representative which is mr
mitchell who came on
so andy has done an excellent job he's
fabulous he's a landowner he's been here
for years doing what he needs to do so
out of courtesy to the rest of my board
members because we said we did want to
reduce that
i do want to say that
i
will let mr smith roll off and then a
couple of years when marx terms up
i can reappoint someone then to be fair
to the rest of my board members
is there anyone that doesn't have a
member on the planning commission
i don't know
force you
you're on the planning commission
i didn't know we had that i mean
uh bears can be
um
up to 15 members in their bylaws
planning commission
yeah that's good we need to we have
we're holding it down we are so that's
and i do appreciate andy he has been
wonderful
but everybody
uh-huh everybody has a member yep
next on the uh agenda is an appointment
for um
mr mcfadden resigned and that was in
carl's district
so the we do have a slot open on the ibm
ernie's in my
district yeah but he resigned
so whoever doesn't have a member on
there would have an appointment here
carl doesn't have anybody and david
doesn't have anybody well i'm gonna
nominate burke archer
did you check with burke yes
david
what are you doing
all right
any others
i'm gonna nominate roger sword
all right
all right so do this in
reverse
well with that being said are there any
other nominations
what
that's two yeah so
do we have a motion for nominations to
cease
so move madam chair all right loud we
have a second
all right any
source all right our nominations will
cease then
all right all those in favor of ceasing
nominations
[Music]
all right now we will vote in reverse
order i believe that was
roger eva first all right all those in
favor of roger sword
show of hands please
uh
one two three four
all right
those in favor of burke archer
one two three okay
all right
just one yeah just one that's all we
have is the one position
david does not have a board member
i think we messed up last time
because i believe
you you put harry on there he was in
your district right but i think you
already had somebody in your district
did you not
um
yeah right right but wasn't there was
there's anybody else no okay
it'll work itself out eventually yes all
right the next thing we have on uh our
agenda is for the community policy
management team and this uh there's two
uh miss alice mead and lori
gates-addison and um i serve on this
committee and both of these are
um
part of the bylaws that they serve miss
meade is the um
public representative for the board she
is the uh
with the parent and then laurie gate
addison is with the uh mental health
with cumberland plateau yes
so
would anyone do we want to do this in a
slate because it's only the two
or do we want or do we have individuals
anyone's thinking i'll make a motion
that we
reappoint both of those members if it's
suitable if it's agreeable to the board
i'll second that okay and tim all right
any further discussion
are all those in favor for these two
members um
anyone opposed all right
next we have our oak grove community
center and tim asked us to table that
last time so that he could check with
make sure all these members want back on
or if anyone wants to drop off
so tim any discussion
i'd just like to
nominate the entire slate with exception
of francis glover who passed away
all right
so if we do this as a slate team
making that motion
any other any discussion
all right all those in favor of proving
this is a slate
second okay
i'll second it all right thanks david i
didn't hear you all right all those in
favor
aye anyone a post
next we have our citizens comment period
thank you dear
like the first one i see is
kelly delp with the russell county
library
hello
i left each of you a copy of our
quarterly report i went on vacation the
first week in october so that's why
you're getting it like a month late
sorry um
but
there it is
come see us
didn't see many of you at our month-long
anya big read thing didn't notice any of
you just saying
i also handed something to mr lester um
the code of virginia does actually say i
checked um i knew that the manual said
four-year terms for library board
members but the code does say four years
so that's
some of the ones that were disappointed
were three years and some were four
um
the folks that you appointed last month
so
and
i would just recommend that
whenever you appoint them make their
term in july 30th
a june 30th in the future
because now you're going to have to keep
well not y'all mr alonzo's office and i
are going to have to keep
track of
when do their terms expire again wait
october october what
if you just in the future when you will
make an appointment have them have the
term end
at the end of june which is what your
board has done in the past
but that's up to y'all you make the
appointing
all right
