SO AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE READ RESOLUTION 21I-74 A RESOLUTION OF THE QUORUM COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY DIRECTING THE PULASKI COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO INSTALL SCHOOL BUS STOP SIGNAGE AT ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL BUS STOPS IN THE RIXEY, DICK JETER, MCALMONT AND EUREKA GARDEN COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS THROUGHOUT THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN WHILE IN ROUTE TO THEIR SCHOOL BUS STOPS WHILE CROSSING COUNTY ROADS OR STREETS TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE TRAFFIC CONTROLS THAT INCLUDE MARKED CROSSWALKS, TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND WARNING SIGNS OR FLASHERS WITHIN THE COUNTY RIGHT OF WAY, AND WHERE DANGEROUS INTERSECTIONS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES OF THE COUNTY TO COMPLY WITH THE UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES FOR STREETS AND HIGHWAYS PUBLISHED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE DISTRICT 10 COMMUNITY OF DICK JETER AND TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE SIGNAGE WARNING SIGNS OR FLASHES AT THE WOOTEN AND VALENTINE ROAD INTERSECTION AND AT OTHER INTERSECTIONS, WHICH ARE IDENTIFIED AS HAZARDOUS IN THE UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES IN PULASKI COUNTY.

JUSTICE GULLEY. YES, I ASK THAT THIS RESOLUTION BE SENT TO THE QUORUM COURT FOR A DO PASS RECOMMENDATION IN MY DISTRICT, DISTRICT 10.

JUSTICE GULLEY [INAUDIBLE] YOU MADE A MOTION AND I'M WAITING TO HEAR A SECOND BEFORE YOU EXPLAIN. OH I'M SORRY.

A MOTION WAS MADE WITH THE SECOND THAT WE SEND RESOLUTION 21I-74 TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH A DO PASS RECOMMENDATION.

I'M GONNA GET TO YOU JUSTICE STOWERS.

JUSTICE GULLEY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN? YES, IN MY DISTRICT, I HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THERE IS NEED FOR SCHOOL BUS STOPS SIGNAGE MEANING WARNING SIGNS, LETTING THE TRAFFIC KNOW THAT THEY'RE APPROACHING A SCHOOL BUS STOP. AND I KNOW OF ONE DANGEROUS INTERSECTION, WHICH IS THE VALENTINE AND WOOTEN ROAD INTERSECTION.

I BELIEVE I LEFT Y'ALL SOME PICTURES ON THE TABLE WHERE YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT.

WHERE I SAY STATED THE FLASHERS, WARNING SIGNS, TRAFFIC SIGNALS.

IT'S WHATEVER THEY FEEL THAT'S APPROPRIATE, IN MY OPINION AND OPINION OF MY CONSTITUENTS IN THE DICK JETER AREA AT THE VALENTINE WOOTEN ROAD INTERSECTION.

THAT ROAD NEEDS TO BE A THREE WAY STOP AREA VERSUS HAVING A CAUTION LIGHT PUT UP THERE.

THAT'S A LITTLE MORE, MORE APPROPRIATE.

SO THAT WAY, THE TRAFFIC IS HAVING TO COME TO A STOP AT ALL THREE INTERSECTIONS.

AS YOU SEE THERE, YOU CAN SAY THERE'S A BLIND SPOT THERE WHEN THE TRAFFIC IS COMING FROM ONE PARTICULAR DIRECTION COMING FROM VALENTINE, YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT'S COMING AROUND, WHO'S

[00:10:06]

COMING AROUND THERE ALSO.

I DO WANT THE RESOLUTION TO BE I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE REVISED THE WORD DIRECTING.

OK, HOLD ON.

IS THAT AN AMENDMENT YOU'RE MAKING? YES. WELL, THE POINT IS IS THAT I AM NOT TRYING TO DEMAND OR ORDER ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING, THE THINGS THAT I'M ASKING FOR ARE THINGS TO HELP PROTECT OUR KIDS WHILE THEY'RE IN OR OUT TO SCHOOL AND IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.

IN MY OPINION, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR A LONG TIME AGO. THE THINGS THAT I'M ASKING ARE BASICALLY THE SAME THINGS THAT THEY DID IN THE COMMUNITY OF BRUSH ISLAND AT MY REQUEST.

OK. BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET TO JUSTICE GULLEY.

ARE YOU MAKING AN AMENDMENT? I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'RE MAKING AN AMENDMENT.

YES I DO NOT LIKE THAT TERM DIRECTING.

I'M OPEN TO ANY RECOMMENDATIONS TO CHANGING THAT TERM DIRECTING BECAUSE I'M NOT TRYING TO ORDER ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING.

ALL I'M ASKING IS FOR THEM TO, YOU KNOW, JUST, YOU KNOW, COME OUT, YOU KNOW, LET'S GET THIS DONE BECAUSE IT'S NEEDED.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KIDS SAFETY HERE.

I'M TRYING TO ADDRESS THE KIDS SAFETY IN MIND.

SO TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND, DO YOU WANT THEM TO ASSESS OR HAS SOMEONE ALREADY DONE THE ASSESS? AND WE KNOW THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

I MEAN, I HAVE LOOKED AT IT.

LEADERS HAVE LOOKED AT IT.

I MEAN, IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

I MEAN, THERE'S I MEAN, THERE'S DOCUMENTATION THERE FROM ONE OF MY CONSTITUENTS ON, WOOTEN ROAD. I MEAN, THESE ARE THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

OK, CAN YOU CAN YOU MAKE YOUR AMENDMENT SO WE CAN SO WE CAN DEAL WITH THAT, OK? AND SHE WAS ASKING.

POINT OF ORDER, SIR.

I THINK SHE WAS ASKING SUGGESTIONS FROM HER COLLEAGUES.

RIGHT. SUGGESTIONS. WELL, I DO HAVE A SUGGESTION.

WELL, I GUESS THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING.

EVEN THOUGH WE'RE TAKING DIRECTING OUT, IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE HAS ALREADY MADE SOMEBODY HAS ALREADY ASSESSED THE SITUATION AND THEY WANT THAT DONE.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET AT.

BUT BY ALL MEANS, GO AHEAD.

JUSTICE STOWERS. THANK YOU, MR. KEITH. SO MS. GULLEY MY RECOMMENDATION.

SO I LOOK BACK AT THE RESOLUTION AND YOU ALL WILL REMEMBER NOVEMBER OF 2019, WHERE I STRONGLY PETITIONED JUDGE HYDE TO KEEP SHORT MARCHE ROAD OPEN, WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THAT RESOLUTION.

IT HAD TO DO WITH COUNTY ROADS AND THAT MOTION WAS EXCUSE ME.

THAT RESOLUTION WAS WORDED IN A MANNER THAT IT WAS STRONGLY ENCOURAGING THE COUNTY JUDGE TO RECONSIDER. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SUGGESTION ON SOMETHING WORDING DIFFERENT THAN DIRECTING, IT WOULD BE, IN MY OPINION, STRONGLY ENCOURAGING THE PULASKI COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO INSTALL AND GO ON.

ON DOWN THE LIST THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION, MS. GULLEY. OK.

OK. OK.

JUSTICE MCMULLEN.

YES. THANK YOU.

CAN YOU TURN YOUR MIC.

IS YOUR MIKE ON? I THINK IT'S THE RED BUTTON IS ON.

YES, THANK YOU.

JUSTICE KEITH. AND STRONGLY ENCOURAGING IS A GOOD TERM AND ANOTHER TERM YOU WANT TO JUST CHOOSE SO YOU CAN HAVE SOME MORE IS STRONGLY REQUESTING.

AND ALSO, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS GO OVER A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT I WAS A BIT CONCERNED ABOUT.

AND THAT IS.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ANY KIND OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AMENDING IT.

I THOUGHT. OK, WHAT ARE WE? THEN THOSE NEED TO BE PUT IN WRITING.

OK, THIS ISN'T A PTA MEETING WHERE WE'RE SPIT-BALLING.

YEAH, I MEAN, IT NEEDS TO BE IN WRITING IF IT'S JUST STRIKING THE LANGUAGE FROM ENCOURAGING TO OR FROM.

RIGHT? YEAH, THEN THAT'S FINE.

THAT'S HER AMENDMENT, HER RESOLUTION, IF SHE JUST WANTS TO STRIKE THAT ONE LANGUAGE.

BUT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MULTIPLE PIECES OF LANGUAGE BEING CHANGED, THIS NEEDS TO BE IN WRITING. RIGHT? GO BACK TO.

IT SOUNDS LIKE AND JUSTICE GULLEY CAN AGAIN CORRECT ME, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH WHOEVER HAS MADE THE ASSESSMENT AND YOU WANT THIS DONE.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW THAT STRONGLY ENCOURAGING OR STRONGLY WHATEVER IS GOING TO BE WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR. IF I UNDERSTAND.

RIGHT. GO AHEAD. FIRST OF ALL, SO YOU KNOW WHEN I DRAFT THIS RESOLUTION, I SENT TO THE

[00:15:05]

COORDINATOR AND HE MAKES HIS ADJUSTMENTS, AND I WAS PRETTY CLEAR IN MY COMMUNICATIONS THAT I DON'T WANT THIS TO COME ACROSS AS DEMANDING.

WHAT I'M WANTING IS FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE TO COME OUT WITH THE LEADERS, CONTACT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OR WHOEVER DO A WALK THROUGH.

THEY'RE ALL COLLABORATING AND PUTTING THEIR INPUT.

YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING AS IT RELATES TO THIS SIGNAGE? THAT'S WHY I SAY OR, YOU KNOW, IN THERE THE WORD DIRECTING.

I LIKE JUSTICE STOWERS' RECOMMENDATION.

I ALSO LIKE JUSTICE MCMULLEN'S RECOMMENDATION.

SO I DO WANT THAT DIRECTING THE WORD THE TERM DIRECTING REMOVED FROM THERE.

OK. THERE'S NOT ANY SCHOOL OK. ALL RIGHT. OK, JUSTICE MASSEY, THEN I'LL COME BACK JUSTICE MASSEY.

MAY I MAKE A SUGGESTION, SINCE THERE ARE SOUNDS LIKE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE SOME IDEAS THEY WANTED TO CHOOSE.

I WAS NEVER EXCUSED I HAD THE MIKE AND JUSTIN SPOKE WITH YOU AND I WAS NEVER.

I'M SORRY. OK.

ALL RIGHT. I WAS NEVER PICKED BACK UP TO COMPLETE MY SENTENCE.

IF I CAN MAKE A SUGGESTION AND I'LL SAY ON OPEN MIC WHAT I WHAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH AND Y'ALL DO WITH IT WHAT YOU WILL.

AND AGAIN, I WAS TRYING TO GET TO THE POINT OF AS JUSTICES OF THE PEACE I'M REAL CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I TRY TO DIRECT DEPARTMENT HEADS TO DO BECAUSE MY JOB IS NOT TO MICROMANAGE ROAD AND BRIDGE OR HUMAN RESOURCES OR ANYBODY ELSE.

TO ME, SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS SAYING I ASKED THEM TO GO OUT AND REVIEW THESE AREAS TO SEE IF IT NEEDS TO, IF THIS IS APPROPRIATE WOULD TO ME WOULD COME ACROSS A WHOLE LOT BETTER FOR ME TO SUPPORT THAN ME TRYING TO DIRECT THEM.

BECAUSE AGAIN, SITTING IN MY CHAIR, I DON'T SEE HOW I HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OR THE ABILITY TO DIRECT THEM IN WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

AND THAT'S MY TWO CENTS.

I'LL GET BACK WITH YOU.

CAN I GET MY INK PEN? SOMEBODY JUST TOOK IT.

I'M SORRY. JUSTICE MCMULLEN, WOULD YOU GO AHEAD AND FINISH YOUR YOUR THOUGHT.

YOU KNOW? YES.

BASICALLY, I DON'T.

WHAT I DO IS I CAN RESPECT WHAT YOU SAID, AND I THINK THAT'S VERY GOOD ADVICE.

AND THEREFORE, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS BASICALLY IN RESPECT FOR WHAT MR. BLAGG IS RECOMMENDING.

I WOULD LIKE RIGHT NOW TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND IT PROPERLY.

AND BUT MOVE FORWARD TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT HOLD ON. BUT WE STILL GOT HER AMENDMENT THAT WE NEED TO DISPENSE WITH.

WE'VE GOT TO LET HER FINISH HER AMENDMENT BEFORE WE CAN MAKE.

OR DO WE? RIGHT? NO, I THINK THAT MS. GULLEY NEEDS TO MAKE.

SHE'S MADE THE MOTION TO AMEND AND STATE THE MOTION TO WHAT SHE'S DOING RIGHT SPECIFICALLY. OK.

ALL RIGHT. SO IF YOU, OK. GO AHEAD JUSTICE GULLEY.

BEFORE I MAKE THE MOTION I WANT TO SAY THAT I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID JUSTICE KEITH.

AND AGAIN, WHEN I SUBMIT THE RESOLUTION, WHEN THE JP SUBMIT THE RESOLUTION TO THE COORDINATOR THEY GET THE FEEDBACK FROM THE COORDINATOR.

BUT ANYWAY, I MOTION TO STRIKE, DIRECT AND REPLACE WITH THE TERM ENCOURAGE.

OK. OK.

AND THAT'S HER MOTION, AND JUSTICE MCMULLEN HAD A SECOND WHO HAD A SECOND ON IT.

I DID. OK.

OK. THAT'S HER A MOTION OK.

AND SHE'S PUTTING ENCOURAGE.

OK, OK, THAT'S HER MOTION.

OK, SO NOW I THINK WHAT SHE'S WANTING IS A DISCUSSION, RIGHT? NO, NO. WE'RE DISCUSSING THE NOW WE'RE CHANGING DIRECTING TO ENCOURAGE, OK, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD.

FURTHER AMENDMENTS.

BUT NO, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT FURTHER AMENDMENTS.

WE'RE GOING TO DISPENSE OF HER AMENDMENT FIRST BECAUSE SHE'S CHANGING THE WORDING FROM DIRECTING TO ENCOURAGE.

SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE EITHER SUPPORTING, WE'RE GOING TO VOTE UP OR DOWN HER CHANGING THE WORDING TO ENCOURAGE AND YOU STILL HAVE THE FLOOR IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HER AMENDMENT.

BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT, THEN WE'VE GOT TO DISPENSE OF HERS FIRST. DISPENSE WITH HERS FIRST.

ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD. THIS IS WHAT I'M THINKING OF DOING.

I'M THINKING OF ADDRESSING OTHER AREAS IN THIS RESOLUTION THAT MAYBE COULD BE MADE MORE PALATABLE BY THE MEMBERS OF THE QUORUM COURT

[00:20:09]

IN FAVOR OF SUPPORTING IT, AND THAT WOULD MEAN MAKING OTHER ADJUSTMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS AND BRINGING IT BACK BEFORE THE QUORUM COURT, SO THAT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION.

SO TO BAG OUT OF THIS THEN, OK, HOLD ON.

OK, HOLD ON JUSTICE.

LET ME SEE. JUSTICE STOWERS IS CHOMPING AT THE BIT, SO MAYBE HE CAN HELP US OUT.

HOLD ON. JUSTICE STOWERS WHAT DO YOU HAVE? I GUESS MY QUESTION, SIR, IS WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR THAT MS. GULLEY MADE TO CHANGE THE WORD DIRECTING TO ENCOURAGE.

ABSOLUTELY. AND WE HAD ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MS. BLEDSOE LET ME KNOW SHE DID NOT HEAR THE SECOND WHO MADE THE SECOND.

WAS IT YOU MS. MCMULLEN.

I'M SORRY, I THINK SO IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SAY AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO FOLLOW PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE.

NOT? I THOUGHT IT WAS A SECOND.

I THOUGHT I HEARD A SECOND, YEAH, BUT NOT FOR THE AMENDMENT OR ANYTHING OK, SO HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

I'VE STILL GOT A QUESTION, SIR.

RIGHT. GO AHEAD. SO DID THAT CLARIFY YOUR QUESTION, MA'AM ON A SECOND? YES THANK YOU. OK. WE'VE GOT A MOTION AN A SECOND TO CHANGE THE WORD DIRECTING TO ENCOURAGE, AND I CALL THE QUESTION.

I DIDN'T SECOND IT.

I DID NOT SECOND IT. OK, HOLD ON.

I SECOND IT THEN, SIR.

HE DIDN'T SECOND IT HE MADE THE MOTION.

OK, NOW HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

NO HOLD ON. HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

OH NO. OK, SO A MOTION IS ON THE FLOOR TO CHANGE DIRECTING FROM CHANGE, DIRECTING TO ENCOURAGE.

I SECOND THAT. JUSTICE GULLEY AND YOU SECOND.

YOU'RE SECONDING THAT. OK.

ALL RIGHT NOW, MR. KEITH, WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO THAT IS I'M SECONDING IT.

AND ON THIS PARTICULAR AMENDMENT, I WANT TO CALL THE QUESTION.

OK. ALL RIGHT.

DOES THAT REQUIRE A SECOND, SIR? NO, THAT'S NON DEBATABLE.

IT'S A PROPER MOTION TO. HE CALLED THE QUESTION AND WE'RE WAITING FOR A SECOND ON THAT.

SECOND. OK, SO WE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND.

SO WE'VE GOT TO CALL THE ROLL ON THIS AMENDMENT.

EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE VOTING ON.

YES.

VOTING TO END DEBATE.

OH, VOTING TO END DEBATE, WE'RE GOING TO END DEBATE FIRST.

OK, NO, MR. KEITH, POINT OF ORDER. WE'RE NOT ENDING DEBATE ON THE ENTIRE RESOLUTION.

NO, NO, NO. WE'RE ON THAT AMENDMENT.

ON THAT AMENDMENT. THANK YOU, SIR.

PER THE PARLIAMENTARIAN.

OK, AMY. CLEAR AS MUD, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT. WE'RE ENDING DEBATE.

SO AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL MR. REED.

[INAUDIBLE]. IT'S NOT CLEAR. MR. DENTON.

AYE. MS. LEWISON.

YES. MS. BLACKWOOD. YES.

MS. MCMULLEN. YES.

MS. MASSEY. AYE.

MS. CONEY. ABSTAIN.

MR. KEITH. YES. MS. GREEN. ABSTAIN.

MS. GULLEY. YES.

MR. ROBINSON.

YES. MR. MCCOY.

OH, HE LEFT. MR. STOWERS. YES.

MR. ELLIOTT. YES, AND MS. MEDLOCK. AYE.

OK, SO THAT WOULD BE 12 AYES, TWO ABSTENTIONS AND ONE ABSENT.

OK, SO THAT MEANS THE DEBATE ON THE AMENDMENT IS OVER.

SO NOW WE NEED TO CALL THE ROLL ON THE AMENDMENT.

YOU'RE BACK TO THE ITEM AS AMENDED. OH, BACK TO THE ITEM AS AMENDED.

OK. JUSICE STOWERS.

WHEN DID WE? THAT VOTE ON ACTUALLY ON THE ONE WORD THAT WE'RE CHANGING IT ON THIS AMENDMENT IS WE'RE CHANGING, DIRECTING TO ENCOURAGE. EVERYBODY GOT THAT? NOT QUITE. OK, SO WE CAN GO BACK TO DEBATING AND THE ONLY THING.

WE CAN'T NO, OH, THE DEBATE IS OVER.

SO WE CALLED THE QUESTION.

SO HERE'S ON THE AMENDMENT.

THE DEBATE. THAT'S WHAT WE JUST VOTED ON DEBATE.

WE JUST ENDED THE DEBATE ON CHANGING, DIRECTING TO ENCOURAGE.

NOW WE'VE GOT THE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT WHERE WE'RE CHANGING, DIRECTING TO ENCOURAGE.

AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? MS. MEDLOCK.

I THOUGHT WE HAD VOTED ON THAT.

[00:25:01]

ON THE AMENDMENT. YES. ALL RIGHT.

ONE WORD. JUST THE ONE WORD.

THE DEBATE IS OVER. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I'M VOTING ON.

HOLD ON. HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

HOLD ON, EVERYBODY. HOLD ON.

LISTEN. LISTEN.

HOLD ON FROM A PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY HERE.

MR. STOWERS MADE A MOTION TO CALL THE QUESTION.

YOU GUYS PASSED THAT TO CALL THE QUESTION.

THAT MEANS IT'S FOR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION.

SO NOW IT GOES TO A VOTE.

THERE'S NO DEBATE. YOU GO TO A DIRECT VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT, WHICH IS TO CHANGE ONE WORD IN THAT RESOLUTION.

YOU ARE VOTING ON THE AMENDMENT.

IT'S NON DEBATABLE.

IT GOES TO A VOTE. SO YOU'RE VOTING ON HER AMENDMENT.

MS. MEDLOCK'S QUESTION, THOUGH, IS WILL THERE BE? NO, IT'S JUST THE AMENDMENT.

MR. BLAGG. I BELIEVE MS. MEDLOCK'S QUESTION IS WILL THERE THEN BE FURTHER DEBATE ALLOWED ON THIS? CORRECT? THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO THE RESOLUTION AS AMENDED, AND YOU WILL BEGIN DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM AS AMENDED.

ELLIOTT. ME, YEAH, YEAH, YOU.

YEAH. OH YES. MR. STOWERS.

YES. I COULDN'T HEAR.

I'M SORRY. MR. ROBINSON.

AYE. MS. GULLEY.

AYE. MS. GREEN.

ABSTAIN. MR. KEITH. YES. MS. CONEY.

ABSTAIN. MS. MASSEY.

AYE. MS. MCMULLEN.

AYE. MS. BLACKWOOD.

AYE. MS. LEWISON. YES.

MR. DENTON.

AYE. AND MR. REED. YES.

TWELVE AYES AND TWO ABSTENTIONS.

OK. 12 AYES.

ONE ABSTENTION.

I MEAN TWO ABSTENTIONS.

OK, NOW WE GO BACK TO 21I-74 AS AMENDED.

OK, JUSTICE STOWERS HOLD ON.

MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND.

JUSTICE STOWERS ALL WE'VE CHANGED IS THE ONE WORD IN THERE ENCOURAGE.

SO AS AMENDED, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEBATING OR DISCUSSING AT THIS POINT.

GO AHEAD. JUSTICE STOWERS.

OK, SIR, THANK YOU. SO A COUPLE OF THINGS REAL QUICK.

ONE IS THE ADDRESSING BUS STOPS.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF BUS STOPS IN THE UNINCORPORATED PARTS OF THE COUNTY, AND THAT'S A MOVING TARGET ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

PLUS, I POLLED SOME OF THE CITIES, INCLUDING MY OWN, INCLUDING SHERWOOD.

THEY DO NOT HAVE BUS STOP SIGNS AT THE BUS STOPS IN THE CITIES, AND THE REASON THEY DON'T, I WAS TOLD, IS BECAUSE IT IS TOO MUCH OF A MOVING TARGET.

SO, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY I WOULD LIKE AND I'M NOT MAKING THAT MOTION NOW, BUT I WOULD ULTIMATELY, I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER IDEAS IN THE ROOM ON THIS.

I'D LIKE TO ULTIMATELY AS A BODY, SEND THIS BACK FOR 30 DAYS FOR RECONSIDERATION, TO COME BACK TO THIS COMMITTEE IN 30 DAYS WITH ALL OF OUR IDEAS.

SO THAT'S NUMBER ONE FOR ME IS I BELIEVE BUS STOPS NEED TO BE.

NO. I'M NOT MAKING A MOTION RIGHT NOW.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT ULTIMATELY, I THINK BUS STOPS NEED TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE THE CITIES DO NOT HAVE BUS STOP SIGNS, AND IT'S TOO MUCH OF A MOVING TARGET FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE TO KEEP UP WITH HUNDREDS OF BUS STOP SIGNS.

POINT NUMBER TWO IS THE ORDINANCE GOES ONTO REED THAT APPROPRIATE TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AND IT DEFINES WHAT THOSE DEVICES ARE HERE.

BUT THEN, IT SAYS, HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES OF THE COUNTY.

IT DOESN'T STATE WHO THOSE HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY, AND LET'S JUST SAY THOSE WERE IDENTIFIED BY SOMEBODY WHO'S A CRIME WATCH LEADER OR A COMMUNITY LEADER, BUT IS NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, MR. COUNTY ATTORNEY. HELP ME OUT HERE.

BUT BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION TODAY, ALTHOUGH THOSE PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE GREAT INTENTIONS THEY CANNOT ENACT, IT HAS TO COME THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE POLITICAL CHANNELS IN ORDER TO BE ENACTED.

SO MY RECOMMENDATION I THINK WHAT MS. GULLEY IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE IS GOOD AND THAT IS PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN WITH APPROPRIATE TRAFFIC CONTROLS, INCLUDING MARKED CROSSWAYS, TRAFFIC SIGNALS, WARNING SIGNS, FLASHERS.

GO ON DOWN THE LIST. I THINK WHAT SHE IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS GOOD.

WHAT I DO THINK IS WE NEED A PROCESS AND A FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS, IF YOU WOULD, WHERE YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE COUNTY.

WE REMEMBER YOU ALL WILL REMEMBER WHEN WE ENACTED THE ORDINANCE CONCERNING ABANDONED HOUSES, NEGLECTED PROPERTIES, AND THERE WAS LIKE A PROCESS WHERE THE CONSTITUENTS FILLED OUT A PETITION.

THERE WERE SO MANY SIGNATURES REQUIRED ON THE PETITION WITHIN A CERTAIN PROXIMITY OF WHAT

[00:30:02]

WAS BEING REQUESTED.

AND THEN THERE WAS A FEASIBILITY STUDY DONE FROM THAT REQUEST BY IN THIS INSTANCE, I WOULD THINK BEING A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE AND A ROAD AND BRIDGE ISSUE.

IT WOULD BE A FEASIBILITY STUDY THAT WOULD BE DONE WITH IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND WITH PUBLIC WORKS ROAD AND BRIDGE FROM BOTH OF THEIR PERSPECTIVES.

BUT THEN, BASED ON THE OUTCOME OF THAT FEASIBILITY STUDY, THAT THE FEASIBILITY STUDY THEN DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS INDEED A NEED FOR A CROSSWALK, A TRAFFIC SIGNAL GOING DOWN THE LIST OF THE THINGS HERE THAT THAT WOULD BE THE TRIGGER, THEN FOR THAT TO BE CROSSWALK, TO BE PUT IN THE LIGHT, TO BE PUT UP.

BUT THERE WOULD BE A OBJECTIVE ANALYTIC PROCESS TO DETERMINING.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN GET IN A SITUATION WHERE, QUOTE UNQUOTE, WHOEVER THEY ARE.

COMMUNITY LEADERS ARE ABLE TO SEND THINGS TO THE COUNTY AND WE AUTOMATICALLY KNEE JERK.

I THINK WE'LL HAVE CHAOS.

WE'LL HAVE A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF EVERY STREET OR A SPEED BUMP AT THE END OF EVERY STREET. SO MY POINT BEING THAT I THINK THAT THE CONCEPT IS GOOD, BUT I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS, WE NEED TO DO IT RIGHT.

I LOVE THE CHANGE WE MADE TO ENCOURAGE RATHER THAN DIRECTING I DON'T LIKE THE BUS STOP THING. BUT I THINK THERE'S A PROCESS THAT WE COULD DEVELOP IN CONJUNCTION WITH ROAD AND BRIDGE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

AND THIS WOULD BE MY LONG TERM RECOMMENDATION.

THAT WOULD REQUIRE A FEASIBILITY STUDY.

AND THEN THAT FEASIBILITY STUDY WOULD THEN BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT ITEM MOVED FORWARD.

SO THAT'S JUST.

I'M NOT THROWING THAT OUT THERE AS A MOTION TONIGHT.

I ULTIMATELY BELIEVE THERE'S A LOT OF IDEAS AROUND THIS TABLE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HEAR, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS DESERVES A 30 DAY CONSIDERATION TIME TO BRING THOSE IDEAS FORWARD. SO I'M NOT MAKING THESE IDEAS IN THE FORM OF A MOTION.

I WANT TO HEAR WHAT ALL MY OTHER COLLEAGUES HAVE TO SAY.

WITH THAT, I YIELD. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

JUSTICE MEDLOCK. SO I AGREE WITH PHIL, BECAUSE I'M STILL A LITTLE.

DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND OR SEE HOW THE COMPONENTS WILL FIT TOGETHER THE WAY THAT IT'S WORDED, AND I DO RESPECT JUSTICE GULLEY.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO.

YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO BRING A SOLUTION TO A TRAFFIC TROUBLED AREAS, NOT AREA AREAS WHERE THERE'S SCHOOLCHILDREN INVOLVED, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE ALL ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SCHOOLCHILDREN. AND APPARENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE COPIES OF THESE EMAILS FROM YOUR CONSTITUENTS, YOU KNOW, GIVING EXAMPLES OF THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY TAKEN PLACE. BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE WAY THAT I SEE THIS RESOLUTION TO READ, I THINK IT KIND OF DOES LEAVE IT UNCLEAR AS TO WHAT IS EXACTLY SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE. AND I THINK WE DO NEED SOMETHING TO TAKE SOMETHING, BE FROM A FEASIBILITY STUDY OR WHAT HAVE YOU TO DESIGNATE WHAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE TO MAKE THIS A SAFER AREA FOR THE KIDS, A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR A MARKED CROSSWALK? I MEAN, THE SIGNS.

I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE AT ALL WITH THE SIGNS, EVEN IF OTHER AREAS DON'T DO IT.

APPARENTLY THERE'S A PROBLEM HERE TO MARK IT AS A BUS STOP IN YOUR AREA.

IT WOULD BE FINE WITH ME, BUT I THINK THAT MAYBE WE NEED TO PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT IS MORE OBTAINABLE.

THAT'S ALL. OK, THANK YOU, JUSTICE MEDLOCK.

JUSTICE ELLIOTT.

OH, OK, NO I GOT IT.

YOU GO AHEAD I GOT YOU. I GOT EVERYBODY.

OK? YEAH. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY I BELIEVE THAT IT'S BEEN MENTIONED ALREADY, BUT I WANT TO SAY IT AGAIN BECAUSE I BELIEVE PUBLIC WORKS SHOULD HAVE IT.

I MEAN, CHECK IT OUT AND I HAVE A STUDY ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, THERE. AND I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS HERE.

HOW MANY RESIDENTS HAVE SIGNED THE PETITION AT THIS TIME? HAS ANYBODY SIGNED VERY MANY.

EXCUSE ME? THERE HASN'T BEEN A PETITION.

WAS THAT HASN'T.

I'M GOING TO. HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

I JUST I'M JUST SAYING, OK, IF YOU DIRECT QUESTIONS TO ME AND THEN WE CAN, HOW MANY DO

[00:35:02]

YOU THINK WILL SIGN THE PETITION? OK. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD SIGN IT, BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, NO PETITION HAS BEEN. THAT'S NOT ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS, I THINK YEAH, THAT'S.

WHAT I'M WONDERING IS HOW MANY WOULD EVEN SIGN IT? I MEAN, WE DON'T.

MY NEXT. I'LL JUST GO TO MY NEXT QUESTION.

OK. YEAH, GO. YES, THAT'S FINE.

HOW MANY WARNING SIGNS ARE OUT THERE NOW IN THE COUNTY, RIGHT AT BY THE SCHOOLS? ANY IDEA? CAN YOU ADDRESS THE CHAIR AND IF IF THEY ARE? GO AHEAD.

WE MAY WANT ROAD AND BRIDGE HERE BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY SIGNS OUT THERE AND I WOULD HAVE IMAGINED IF YOU OK, SO IF YOU CAN.

FIRST OF ALL, ARE YOU GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME TO SPEAK BECAUSE THIS IS A NO BRAINER FOR ME.

RIGHT? BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE JUSTICE ELLIOTT BECAUSE I HAVE YOU HERE TO SPEAK, BUT I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY I'M RECOGNIZING EVERYBODY.

JUSTICE ELLIOTT. AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW THAT JUSTICE GULLEY COULD ACTUALLY ANSWER THAT, BUT WE'LL MAKE A NOTE. AND IF SHE CAN INCLUDE THAT IN HER COMMENTS, THAT'LL BE FINE.

OK. ANYTHING ELSE? THAT'S IT. OK. JUSTICE GULLEY? FIRST OF ALL, WHEN IT COMES TO KIDS SAFETY.

CAN YOU SPEAK INTO YOUR MIC? I'M SORRY.

YES. FIRST OF ALL, FOR ME, AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, A COMMUNITY LEADER, WHEN IT COMES TO KIDS SAFETY, IT'S A NO BRAINER.

OK? WHEN I PUT IN A SIMILAR REQUEST TO THIS AND ONE COMMUNITY IN MY DISTRICT, WHICH I'M REFERRING TO AS BRUSH ISLAND, THERE WAS NO PETITION DONE.

THE COUNTY WENT AHEAD AND DID THE WORK.

MY CONSTITUENTS ASKED ME TO GET THIS DONE, OK, WHEN IT CAME TO THE CROSSWALK AND THE SIGN . ROAD AND BRIDGE, DID IT.

OK, THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY PETITION.

ALL I'M ASKING IS FOR THE SAME CONSIDERATION TO BE DONE IN THE OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT I'VE IDENTIFIED IN THIS RESOLUTION IN DISTRICT 10.

NOW IF THE SIGNAGE WAS THERE.

IF THERE WASN'T A CONCERN, I WOULDN'T BE ASKING FOR THESE THINGS.

THESE THINGS ARE NEEDED IN MY DISTRICT AND IN MY RESOLUTION.

I DO MENTION OTHER INTERSECTIONS WHICH ARE IDENTIFIED HAZARDS IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY COLLEAGUES DISTRICT IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS.

YOU MAY HAVE SOME, BUT IF THE CLAUSE IS IN THERE AT LEAST THAT'S COVERED.

FEASIBILITY STUDY.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A STUDY WHEN WE DID THE OTHER ONE.

TO ME, THAT'S A STALL TACTIC.

AND AGAIN, WHEN IT COMES TO KIDS SAFETY, IT SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER, EVERYONE SHOULD SUPPORT WORK TOGETHER TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO GET THE JOB DONE.

I'VE MADE THESE REQUESTS TO ROAD AND BRIDGE FROM SOME TIME NOW AND I DIDN'T COME ACROSS DEMANDING VERY PROFESSIONAL.

ALL I'M ASKING IS FOR THEM TO DO THE SAME THING AS THEY DID IN MY OTHER COMMUNITY.

AND JUSTICE STOWERS WHEN YOU SAID IN THE CITY OF SHERWOOD, THEY DON'T DO THAT.

NO, SIR. NO DISRESPECT, BUT THAT'S UNTRUE.

CAN WE ADDRESS THE CHAIR.

THE CITY OF SHERWOOD AT MY REQUEST AND MY DISTRICT, THE CITY OF SHERWOOD PUT UP A SCHOOL BUS STOP SIGN IN MY DISTRICT, AND IT'S IN THE CITY LIMITS OF SHERWOOD.

IF YOU GO DOWN TO RIXEY ROAD RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET TO ROYAL OAKS, THERE WAS NEVER A SIGNAGE PUT THERE. IT WAS PUT THERE RIGHT AFTER ROAD AND BRIDGE PUT THE SIGNAGE OUT AND BRUSH ISLAND. THEY PUT IT THERE.

AND I'VE ALSO PUT IN ANOTHER REQUEST, WHICH I'M WAITING FOR SOMETHING ELSE TO COME THROUGH. THEY'RE PLANNING ON WORKING WITH ME ON THAT.

THE CITY IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE.

YOU KNOW, WE REPRESENT A DISTRICT WHICH CONSISTS OF CITY AND UNINCORPORATED.

I'M ASKING THE UNINCORPORATED GOVERNMENT TO INSTALL THESE THINGS OR THINGS THAT THEY FEEL THAT'S APPROPRIATE TO ADDRESS THE KIDS SAFETY IN MY DISTRICT.

OK. SO I MEAN, THIS IS A NO BRAINER.

I DON'T THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A FEASIBILITY STUDY.

THERE WASN'T ONE DONE BEFORE THAT'S DRAWING THINGS OUT.

I THINK THESE ARE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ACTED UPON.

I KNOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME AND THIS THING ABOUT SCHOOL BUS STOPS OR MOVED OR WHATEVER THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

ONCE THOSE SCHOOL BUS STOPS ARE ESTABLISHED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, THE DISTRICT SENT OUT THE DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION GOES OUT WITH THEIR ASSISTANCE AND THEY GO THROUGH THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ONCE THEY IDENTIFIED THOSE BUS STOPS.

THOSE BUS STOPS ARE THERE, AND EVEN IF ONE OR TWO HAS TO BE MOVED, THEN ALL THEY GOT TO DO IS CONTACT ROAD AND BRIDGE.

I'M SURE DIRECTOR RAMSEY, THEN WE'LL GO OUT AND JUST MOVE IT.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE, THAT'S A BIG ISSUE.

I MEAN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KIDS SAFETY.

THIS IS A NO BRAINER.

AND THIS QUORUM COURT IS CONSIST OF MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS.

AND WE, PUSH FOR KIDS SAFETY.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY ABOUT IT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. OK.

THE MAJORITY RULES, WHATEVER Y'ALL DECIDE TO DO.

[00:40:01]

OK, GO AHEAD.

JUSTICE MCMULLEN.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

JUSTICE KEITH.

AND I WANT TO SPEAK RESPECTFULLY TO EACH PERSON.

I CAN FEEL JUSTICE GULLEY ON THIS ISSUE.

AND I HAVE QUITE A BIT OF RESPECT FOR THE SUGGESTION THAT JUSTICE STOWERS MADE AND I HAVE RESPECT FOR WHAT JUSTICE MEDLOCK ALSO WAS CONCERNED ABOUT.

AND I THINK THAT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT PAUL THAT I'M SORRY JUSTICE ELLIOTT ASKED, WERE AND WAS LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER FOR AND HAD THERE BEEN AN ANSWER BECAUSE IT WAS ENLIGHTENING.

NOW. BUT WHAT I'M LOOKING AT WHEN I LOOK AT THIS AND I THINK THAT IT'S GOOD INTENTIONS, I DON'T THINK A LOT NEEDS TO BE UNCHANGED AT ALL.

BUT I'M JUST THINKING THAT THERE ARE, IF I'M HEARING CORRECTLY, SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE BREADTH OF IT, PARTICULARLY I'M HEARING THAT FROM JUSTICE MEDLOCK AND SOME OF MY OTHER COLLEAGUES. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT IT, I REALIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, CHANGING ONE WORD WELL, THAT CAN EASILY BE DONE.

AND THEN WE DO HAVE THE PULASKI COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO INSTALL SCHOOL BUS STOP SIGNAGE AT ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL BUS STOPS.

AND YOU SPECIFIED THE ADDITIONS THAT YOU WANTED THEM INSTALLED IN.

AND NOW AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BUS STOPS IN NEIGHBORHOODS, NOT JUST WHERE THEY GET OFF.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AT BUS STOPS THAT THEY GO TO, TO GO TO SCHOOL, TO CATCH THE BUS SO THEY CAN GO TO SCHOOL.

I'M TALKING ABOUT I'M SORRY. I SHOULD ADDRESS YOU.

I WOULD LIKE SOME CLARITY ON THAT.

AND MY QUESTION IS WHERE THEY CATCH THE BUS TO GO TO SCHOOL, THAT WOULD BE MY QUESTION, MR. CHAIRMAN.

OK, YOU WANT ME TO ANSWER? I THINK MAYBE THAT HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO IS GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK ON REFERRED TO BUS STOPS.

THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE BEING PICKED UP AND DROPPED OFF, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME STOP THEY'RE PICKED UP IN THE MORNING AND DROPPED OFF.

THAT'S A BUS STOP. OK.

I HAVE SOME CONCERN ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY BUS STOPS THERE ARE.

AND THEY DO CHANGE.

MAYBE YOU HAVE LOOKED INTO THAT AND YOU HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IT IS NOT AN OVERREACHING.

RIGHT. THING THERE.

I DON'T KNOW.

IF SO, PERHAPS SHE CAN EXPLAIN THAT LATER AFTER I GET OFF.

OK, THEN SECOND OF ALL.

WHEN YOU MENTIONED RIXEY AND DICK JETER MCALMONT AND EUREKA GARDEN COMMUNITIES, THAT IS FINE. YOU ALSO WENT ON TO SAY AS WELL AS THROUGHOUT THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS.

WELL, THAT IS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WOULD NEED TO BE STRAPPED.

I THINK THAT YOUR CONCERN FOR OTHERS IS BEAUTIFUL.

HOWEVER, AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO LIMIT THAT TO ADDRESS YOUR COMMUNITY FIRST BABY STEPS AT A TIME.

THEN WE HAVE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN WHILE IN ROUTE OK TO THEIR SCHOOLS.

THAT'S IT WHILE CROSSING COUNTY ROADS OR STREETS.

OK, SO THAT ANSWERS MY PREVIOUS QUESTION, BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING TO INSURE IT WHILE THEY ARE IN ROUTE.

YES MA'AM. NOW SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, BUT THERE MAY BE SOME WHO WANT TO WORK ON THAT. I DON'T KNOW.

BUT AS LONG AS WE CAN OMIT THIS ABOUT ALL THE OTHER INCORPORATED AREAS, I'M FINE WITH IT.

AND THEN WE HAVE TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE TRAFFIC CONTROLS THAT INCLUDE MARKED CROSSWALKS, TRAFFIC SIGNALS, AND YOU'RE SIMPLY SAYING WHICHEVER ONE WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THAT PARTICULAR SITE, THAT'S OK, TOO.

AND WHERE DANGEROUS INTERSECTIONS, YOU SAID, HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED? WE WANT TO SIMPLY SAY WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN YOUR INCORPORATED AREA, IN THOSE AREAS, IN THOSE AREAS.

OK. BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT YOUR DISTRICT AND THEN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES.

WE WANT TO [INAUDIBLE] THAT.

JUSTICE MCMULLEN, I CERTAINLY DON'T INTEND TO INTERRUPT YOU AND I INTEND TO ALLOW YOU TO CONTINUE. I'M THROUGH NOW IF YOU'LL JUST BEAR WITH ME.

WE WANT TO STRIKE THAT OTHER THING ABOUT UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES.

AND THEN.

JUSTICE MCMULLEN.

THAT IS ALL I'M DONE NOW TO OMIT THAT THAT'S THE MAIN THING.

[00:45:04]

SO WERE YOU MAKING A MOTION TO AMEND OR ARE YOU JUST MAKING SUGGESTIONS TO HER? RIGHT NOW? I WANT TO HEAR.

I WANT EVERYONE TO HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING.

OK, THAT'S FINE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE TO SPEAK.

IT IS THERE'S SEVERAL PEOPLE TO SPEAK.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD YOU JUSTICE MCMULLEN.

WE'VE GOT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET.

ARE YOU? WAS THAT IT? ARE YOU YIELDED. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE ON TO AMEND IT, BUT AT THIS POINT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND IF I CAN GET A SECOND ON THAT.

SECOND. THAT I'M NOT, WE WOULD.

DOES ANYBODY.

DID I DON'T KNOW WHO FOLLOWED HER WHAT WAS THE MOTION. I WOULD LIKE SOME RESPECT, I READ EACH ITEM ONE BY ONE.

NO, I'M SAYING.

I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU. I'M LISTENING THANK YOU.

YOU WENT THROUGH AND YOU WERE MAKING SUGGESTIONS.

BUT I WAS NOT AWARE THAT YOU WERE GOING TO END IT IN THE FORM OF AN AMENDMENT.

AND I'M ASSUMING AMY DID NOT REALIZE YOU WERE MAKING THAT IN THE FORM OF AMENDMENT.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST YOU TALKING SOME HIGHLIGHTING THINGS THAT YOU HAD PROBLEMS WITH.

ALL RIGHT YES. THAT'S WHY YES, CHAIRMAN. I WOULD LIKE TO WITHDRAW THAT AMENDMENT AT THIS TIME.

OK, THANK YOU.

I GUESS YOU WITHDRAW YOUR SECOND.

JUSTICE. I WITHDRAW IT.

OK. ALL RIGHT. JUSTICE MASSEY.

OK. AS I WAS TRYING TO SAY AT THE VERY BEGINNING, WE CAN TALK ALL NIGHT.

IF YOU WANT THIS DONE RIGHT AND IF YOU WANT THE SUPPORT OF ALL OF OR JUST AS MANY JP'S TO PASS IT, THIS NEEDS TO STOP RIGHT NOW.

IT NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD SO IT CAN BE DONE RIGHT.

BECAUSE IF IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU, THEN YOU WANT OUR INPUT, YOU WANT OUR VOTES.

RIGHT? SO THEN YOU NEED TO START IT.

YOU NEED TO START THIS OVER.

I MEAN, AND YOU'VE GOT A BASE, YOU'VE GOT A BASE TO GO WITH.

AND I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SOME IDEAS TO ADD TO THAT TO MAKE IT ALL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE. AND THE NEXT THING THIS IS A RESOLUTION.

SO IF THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN YOUR DISTRICT LIKE DICK JETER AREA OR WHATEVER, THAT'S NEEDED SOME IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

OH, I'M SORRY, I NEED TO BE IN THE MIKE NEEDING SOME IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO REACH OUT IMMEDIATELY TO ROAD AND BRIDGE FOR THEM TO GET ON THIS ASAP. BECAUSE THIS WILL BE FAR AS I KNOW RIGHT NOW, IT'S A RESOLUTION.

SO WE KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT LEGALLY BINDING TO DO ANYTHING.

IT'S JUST THE WILL OF THE COURT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT HAPPEN.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S NOTHING LEGAL.

SO YOU'RE STILL NOWHERE IN A SENSE.

I DON'T. I MEAN, I HATE TO PUT IT SO BLUNTLY, BUT THAT'S JUST THE DEAL.

SO IF YOU WANT SOMETHING REAL GET WITH THEM.

IN THE MEANTIME, WE WANT TO SEE SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WE WANT IT.

WE WANT TO MAKE IT AS PERFECT AS IT CAN BE FOR THE COUNTY BECAUSE WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE KIDS, TOO. WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT EVERY DISTRICT AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH UNINCORPORATED AREA, AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF THAT ARE ALL UNINCORPORATED AREA.

SO I JUST THINK WE NEED TO.

I MEAN, I WON'T DO IT, BUT SOMEONE ELSE.

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TABLE THIS SO THAT IT CAN BE WORKED ON AND GET WHAT YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED IN HERE AND THINGS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN OUT, TAKEN OUT AND NO NEED TO BEAT THE DEAD HORSE TONIGHT.

BUT AND I YIELD.

OK. OK KEITH.

OK.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS FOR 30 DAYS.

I SECOND. OK.

THERE'S NON DEBATABLE.

IS THAT CORRECT? AMY, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON A MOTION TO TABLE FOR 30 DAYS.

YES. MR. DENTON.

AYE. MS. LEWISON. YES.

AYE. MR. STOWERS. YES.

MR. ELLIOTT. YES.

AND MS. MEDLOCK.

I ABSTAIN. OK.

OK, THAT WOULD BE 11 AYE'S TWO NAYS AND ONE ABSTENTION, ONE ABSENT.

[00:50:02]

SO IF I AM CORRECT, WE JUST VOTED TO TABLE THIS RESOLUTION FOR 30 DAYS.

AM I CORRECT, JUSTIN? CORRECT. THE MOTION WAS TO TABLE IT FOR 30 DAYS, FOR 30 DAYS, YES.

TAKE IT FROM THE TABLE ALL RIGHT. OK, CAN I MAKE A POINT OF ORDER, SIR.

OK, HOLD ON. LET ME SEE JUSTICE GULLEY, WHAT WAS YOUR? MY QUESTION IS TWO THINGS.

ONE, EVERYTHING I'VE REQUESTED WAS MADE TO ROAD AND BRIDGE LONG BEFORE THIS RESOLUTION.

OK. NUMBER TWO, ARE WE GOING TO MAKE THE AMENDMENTS? AND I'M ALLOWED TO MAKE THE AMENDMENTS.

OK BECAUSE IT'S TABLED.

IT CAN GO BACK AND BE REWORKED.

SO ARE WE GOOD? WE HAVE JUST VOTED TO TABLE RESOLUTION 21 I74.

EVERYBODY CLEAR. ALL RIGHT.

AMY, PLEASE REED. WE'RE MOVING TO OUR ORDINANCES.
