AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, EXPRESSED CONCERNS BECAUSE EVERYBO, PRACTICALLY EVERYBODY'S ASSESSMENT WENT UP IN THE TOWN.
SO, UM, IF A SORT OF IN THE 11% OR UNDER RANGE, UM, SINCE ASSESSMENTS DON'T TRANSLATE TO TAX HIKES, BASICALLY IT'S A REDISTRIBUTION, REDISTRIBUTION OF, UM, YOU KNOW, OF TAXES.
SO IF IT'S ABOUT 11% OR UNDER, IT PROBABLY WON'T HAVE MUCH OF AN IMPACT ON YOUR TAXES.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD LARGER ASSESSMENT INCREASES, AND IF YOU FEEL THAT YOUR HOUSE IS NOT WORTH WHAT THE HOUSE IS ASSESSED AT, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN CANNOT SELL THE HOUSE AT THAT ASSESSMENT, THEN YOU COULD FILE A GRIEVANCE AND, UH, YOU HAVE TILL, UH, THE 18TH TO, UH, DO THAT.
SO I JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY.
SO THIS WAY, UM, UM, AGAIN, PEOPLE COULD DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO.

WE CAME BACK DOING APPOINTMENTS.
WE HAD TWO APPOINTMENTS PER RETURN, AND WE, WE SCANNED THE DOCUMENTS AND SENT THEM TO PREPARERS WHO WERE WORKING FROM HOME.
UM, AND THEN IN 20, UH, 2021, WE DID APPOINTMENTS AND WE DID THE SAME, THE SAME ROUTINE LAST YEAR.
WE DID APPOINTMENTS AND DID THE RETURNS IN PERSON.
WE WERE BACK TO DOING RETURNS IN PERSON.
AND THIS YEAR WE MANAGED TO, UH, DO 433 IN THE SAME MANNER.
WE WERE WORKING TWO DAYS A WEEK, FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS.
WE HAD, UH, SEVEN OR EIGHT PREPARERS EACH DAY.

AND HE HAD RETIRED, RETIRED EARLY, AND TALKED ABOUT DOING TAX PREP.

AND CINDY HAS, UM, FOUGHT TIRELESSLY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GREENBURG.
UM, WHEN SHE FIRST MOVED TO EAST IRVINGTON IN 2017, SHE NOTICED A SMALL, OLD SELDOM USED PLAYGROUND ON TAXI ROAD.
SHE CONTACTED OUR TOWN OFFICIALS ARGUING THAT THE PARK SHOULD BE MORE ACCESSIBLE, UH, TO THE PUBLIC WITHOUT A PARKING LOT OR ANY SIDEWALKS.
RESIDENTS HAD NO SAFE WAY TO ACCESS WHAT SHOULD BE A BEAUTIFUL SHARED SPACE.
CINDY, UM, LATER JOINED, UH, THE PARK'S AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AND BEGAN TO RALLY COMMUNITY SUPPORT.
SHE BECAME THE SECRETARY OF THE EAST IRVINGTON CIVIC ASSOCIATION, WHERE SHE FURTHER MOBILIZED HER COMMUNITY TO TAKE ACTION.
THE ONCE NEGLECTED PARK UNDERWENT A REMARKABLE REVITALIZATION PROJECT ALONGSIDE THE NEW AND IMPROVED PLAYGROUND.
THE PARKING LOT WAS CONSTRUCTED PROMOTING, UM, GREATER ACCESSIBILITY.
SOMETIMES WHEN I, UH, DRIVE OR BICYCLE ON TAXI ROAD, UH, YOU KNOW, I SEE PEOPLE, UM, USING THE PLAYGROUND OR PARKING THERE.
AND IT'S A REAL, UM, YOU KNOW, THRILL BECAUSE THANKS TO CINDY'S EFFORTS, SHE REALLY HAS ENHANCED THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MANY RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN EAST IRVINGTON.
CINDY'S EFFORTS DID NOT STOP WITH THOSE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
SHE CONTINUES TO LOBBY FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING A SIDEWALK ON TAXI ROAD.
UM, I SPOKE WITH RICH FUN, UM, UM, I THINK YESTERDAY OR A FEW DAYS AGO.
AND, UM, HE INDICATED THAT THE TOWN IS CURRENTLY, UH, DESIGNING, UH, THE SIDEWALK.
SO WE HOPE THAT THE SIDEWALK WILL BE BUILT, UM, IN 2000 AND, UM, 25, YOU KNOW, NEXT, NEXT YEAR.
UM, THE TOWN BOARD IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING THE SIDEWALK FURTHER, CONNECTING RESIDENTS TO THE AMENITIES THEY CHERISH, AND MAKING THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFER FOR ALL.

AND AS ALWAYS, WE ADVISE THAT PERSONAL ATTACKS OF ANY KIND TOWARD ANYONE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
I'M MURRAY BOWEN, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T FOUND OUT.
NOW, UH, THIS IS THE, UH, FOIL THAT I SENT TO THE, UH, CON CLERK LAST WEEK ASKING FOR THE RESOLUTION THAT APPOINTED FRANCIS SHE AND ZOOM HOST.
AS FAR AS I KNOW, IT DOESN'T EXIST.
EVERY OTHER BOARD THAT I'VE INVESTIGATED, AND I'VE ASKED DOZENS OF PEOPLE, IT IS THE BOARD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO OVERSEE THE STAFF OF ANY ORGANIZATION.
IT'S YOUR JOB TO FIRE SOMEBODY IF THEY DON'T DO IT RIGHT.
SO HOW DID FRANCIS APPOINT HIMSELF? ZOOM HOST AND THE OTHER FALLACIES, THAT LITTLE CAMERA UP THERE CONNECTED TO FRANCIS' COMPUTER.
SO EVERYTHING THAT THAT CAMERA TAKES IS TOWN PROPERTY BECAUSE HE'S EMPLOYED BY THE TOWN.
IT'S NOT HIS PERSONAL PROPERTY.
EVERY OTHER MEETING I'VE COME TO DID NOT HAVE A ME EXTRA CAMERA THERE.
EVERY ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS ONCE AND MONTHS AND MONTHS ARE THE LEGAL RECORD OF THE MEETINGS.
SO IT'S YOUR JOB TO DETERMINE THAT THE LEGALITY OF WHAT FRANCIS HAS BEEN DOING AND GETTING AWAY WITH BECAUSE HE'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID.
I SAID THAT HE DID WHEN HE, I WAS ON THE ANTENNA REVIEW BOARD AND THOSE TAPES DISAPPEARED AND I SAID THEY WERE DAMN PROPERTY AND THEY DISAPPEARED.
THAT CAMERA UP THERE IS RECORDING EVERYTHING.
[00:35:01]
SAY.THIS IS A PUBLIC RECORD THAT CAN BE SEARCHED.
EVERYTHING I SAY IS ON THE RECORD.
IF YOU ARE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD TO OVERSEE THE STAFF COMMISSIONERS OF GREENBURG, YOU CANNOT BE AN OPERATING MEMBER.
EVERY OTHER COMMITTEE HAS SOMEBODY AND KNOWS HOW TO DO THAT.
WHY IS THAT EXTRA CAMERA? THERE IT IS.
AT NO OTHER MEETING IN GREENBERG, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK YOURSELVES, WHAT'S MY JOB AS A COUNCIL PERSON TO SEE THIS PLACE RUNS ILLEGALLY OR NOT? YESTERDAY WAS MY 91ST BIRTHDAY.
THE POINT IS, I HAVE TO TRAIN PEOPLE TO LOOK AND ASK QUESTIONS TO FOLLOW ME.
THIS IS THE THIRD MEETING WITH THE GENTLEMAN ON THE END IS THE DEPUTY.
SO WHY ISN'T HE THE TOWN CLERK? I BELIEVE THE TOWN CLERK LIVES IN LONG ISLAND.
OF COURSE, IF I'M NOT VERY ONE OF MY EMAILS THAT SAYS, WHAT'S, YOU SHOULDN'T BELIEVE ME.
IT'S CALLED THE ANTENNA REVIEW BOARD.
THERE IS NO RECORD THAT CAN BE FOUND ON A TOWN WEBSITE OF THEIR MINUTES.
AND YOU CAN'T FIND OUT WHO'S A MEMBER OF THAT BOARD.
YOU GO TRY AND FIND, I HAVE NOTHING.
DO YOU GO TO FIND OUT WHO'S ON THE ANTENNA REVIEW BOARD? SO THOSE CAMERA GOES INTO FRANCIS'S COMPUTER.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE ME.
I GAVE YOU A CHANCE TO LOOK IT UP.
YOU ARE ALL YOUNGER THAN I AM.
WHAT DO YOU WANT GREENBERG? TO BE HONEST OR OTHERWISE, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THIS OUT.
I WANT TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE OVER THE YEARS TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO MY JOB.
CAPTAIN GEORGE WISENER, FORMER CAPTAIN GREENBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ONE OF THREE PEOPLE WHO TAUGHT ME OUT OF A WATCH OUT.
GEORGE TOLD ME NEVER DO ANY, NEVER DO ANYTHING TO CREATE A LIABILITY FOR YOUR FAMILY.
SOME OF THE BEST ADVICE I EVER GOT.
ANYBODY ELSE? UH, LET ME RESPOND AS USUAL.
YOU KNOW, MR. BERG, I'M SORRY BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA TAKE YOUR RESPONSE 'CAUSE I CAN'T RESPOND TO WHATEVER YOU SAY.
IF I CAN RESPOND TO YOU, I WILL, BUT NOT UNLESS I CAN.
SO AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR EMAILS, YOU SAY, YOU KNOW, DON'T TRUST WHAT I WRITE.
AND YOU CAN'T TRUST WHAT YOU SAY.
THE TOWN CLERK LIVES IN THE TOWN OF GREENBURG OR SHE WOULDN'T BE TOWN CLERK.
SO SHE DOES NOT LIVE ON LONG ISLAND.
SHE'S NOT HERE BECAUSE A FAMILY MEMBER WAS INJURED YESTERDAY AND SHE'S DOING WHAT SHE SHOULD BE DOING AND BEING WITH THAT FAMILY MEMBER, THE RECORDINGS THAT ARE BEING PRODUCED DO NOT GO INTO MY COMPUTER.
THEY ARE STORED ON THE TOWN'S SERVERS.
THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR SOMEBODY TO USE.
WE HAVE HAD TIMES WHERE THE CABLE WENT OUT AND WE HAVE A BACKUP BECAUSE IF WE DIDN'T, PEOPLE WOULD THINK THAT WE WERE DOING SOMETHING.
HOW COME THERE'S A GAP WHERE WHATEVER.
UM, I DO IT BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
I'VE BEEN DOING IT SINCE MARCH OF 2020.
IT PROVIDES ABILITY OF PEOPLE WHO CAN'T BE HERE TO PARTICIPATE.
IT ALLOWS THE DISABLED WHO CAN'T GET TO TOWN HALL TO PARTICIPATE.
AND WE HAVE A WORKING RELATIONSHIP.
UH, HE KEEPS MENTIONING THIS ALL THE TIME, AND FOR WHATEVER REASON IT JUST REPEATED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
[00:40:01]
BUT AT SOME POINT, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.ON 20, IN 20, IN 2000, HE WAS ON THE TENANT REVIEW BOARD AND REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY APPLICATIONS.
AND HE'S BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, BEEN, UM, BEEN, UH, OFFENDED SINCE THEN.
UH, BUT I CANNOT HAVE HIM COME UP HERE AND MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THE TOWN CLERK IS VIOLATING ELECTION LAW BY NOT LIVING IN THE DISTRICT IN WHICH HE'S SERVING.
IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE AND IT HAD TO BE REFUTED.
CAN I ASK ONE QUESTION? WHEN YOU GET TO THE MICROPHONE, YOU CAN, THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS.
YOU'RE GONNA, YOU'RE GONNA GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
ANYBODY ELSE WANNA SPEAK MINUTES? LOUIS, CAN YOU PLEASE? YEAH.
OUR SECOND SPEAKER WILL BE PATRICIA WILLIAMS. OH, YEP.
NOW YOU HAVE YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
WELL, YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR MICROPHONE.
BRING THE, WE CAN BRING THE MICROPHONE TO YOU.
HE DOESN'T WANT HIS WIRE RIPPED.
DID YOU SAY COME BACK? YEAH, IT'S FINE.
UM, WHAT I CAME TO DISCUSS, UH, IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
SO I TYPED IT UP AND I'M PRESENTING IT TO THE, UM, TOWN CLERK FOR THE RECORD.
UM, BESSIE KERNS KORN, PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN IS ISRAEL.
UM, ISRAEL POLITICAL ACTION PARTY HAS STATED THAT THERE WILL BE TWO ACTIVES, A I PS, AMERICAN ISRAEL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES IN THE UNITED STATES.
ITS SOLE PURPOSE, STRATEGY, AND GOAL IS TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGNS OF PRO-ISRAEL INCUMBENTS AND CANDIDATES FROM BOTH DIM CRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PARTIES, ENSURING THAT ISRAEL WILL REMAIN SUCCESSFUL AT BEING A FAVORITE NATION.
AND THE CHANGING POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF AMERICAN ISRAEL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES, THE JOINT MEMBERSHIPS OF A-A-I-P-A-C.
IT'S APPROXIMATELY $5.6 BILLION ALLOCATED TO THE 2024 AMERICAN ELECTION THAT IS DISGRACEFUL CORRUPTION TO THE TOP OF WHATEVER.
I WENT TO, UM, WHAT IS IT? YOUTUBE AND I PUT IT IN, AND THIS IS THE INFORMATION I GOT.
WHY SHOULD ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY HAVE ACCESS OR BE PERMITTED AT ANY TIME TO FINANCIALLY LOBBY OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY WAY IN UNITED STATES ELECTIONS? I MEAN, THIS IS WORSE THAN TAMMANY HALL.
WE HAVE OUTGROWN TAMMANY HALL.
WHY ARE WE BACK AT IT? WHY IS THIS PERMITTED? AND THEY'RE USING AMERICAN DOLLARS TO DO THIS WHEN WE PAY FOR MILITARY AID, FOREIGN AID AND FAVORITE NATION, THAT GIVES THEM ENOUGH MONEY TO DO ANYTHING THEY WANT TO DO AND USE THEIR OWN LITTLE TAX DOLLAR TO DEAL THINGS WITHIN THEIR COUNTRY.
BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING.
WHY WOULD ANYBODY IN THE UNITED STATES IN OFFICE GO ALONG WITH THIS? IT IS CORRUPT.
USUALLY WE BRING PEOPLE IN FROM OUTSIDE OF OUR COUNTRY.
THEY COME IN, THEY DON'T COME IN UNDER AMNESTY, BUT WHEN THEY GET HERE, THEY GO ON AMNESTY.
[00:45:01]
BUT THEY MOVE INTO MY COMMUNITY AND DECIMATE THE VOTE WHERE I LIVE.MY POLITICAL CLOUT GOES DOWN TO ZERO.
WE HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN A COMMUNITY WHO CAN'T VOTE.
AND WE HAVE PEOPLE IN AMNESTY LIVING IN HOTELS WITH A ROOM THAT HAS A BATHROOM AND A BED IN IT.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO GET UP AT SIX O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AS THE AMERICAN CITIZEN DOES GO OUT IN THE STREET.
NO PLACE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.
NO PLACE TO EAT WHEN IT'S RAINING.
IT'S THE WHITE PLAINS PUBLIC LIBRARY.
ONE OF THE FEW PLACES THAT WILL NOT REMOVE THEM.
IS THIS WHAT OUR DEMOCRACY HAS COME TO? IS THIS THE BEST WE CAN DO? I I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
WE HAVE PEOPLE BRAGGING ABOUT THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND I WROTE IT DOWN SOMEWHERE, YOU KNOW, 25.
$5.6 BILLION HAS BEEN ALLOCATED TO THE 2024 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ELECTIONS.
YOU'RE YOU'RE, YOU'RE THE LEADERS.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT? THE LAST TIME I SPOKE, UH, FRANCIS SHEEN, YOU MADE A STATEMENT THAT, UM, THIS IS THE WORST THING YOU HEARD ABOUT ANTISEMITISM.
I'M UP SOME SLAVERY, I'M A CITE.
DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT ANTISEMITISM.
MY FAMILY CAME IN THROUGH SLAVE SHIPS.
NOBODY IN MY FAMILY CAME IN THROUGH ELLIS ALLEN.
WE CAME UP THE WORLD UP THE ROAD PULLING OURSELVES UP BY OUR BOOTSTRAPS, AND WE MANAGED TO DO IT.
SO DON'T EVER TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT ANTISEMITISM.
I HAVE MUSLIMS IN MY FAMILY AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW, BUT CATHOLICS TOO.
SO, YOU KNOW, SPARE ME THE JARGON.
IF YOU WANNA IMPRESS THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, YOU GO AHEAD.
BUT IT MAKES SENSE OUTTA TIME.
I KNOW WHAT TIME IS, IS WE'RE NOT COMPLYING RULES.
NOBODY EVER COMPLIES BY YOUR RULES OTHER THAN BLACK PEOPLE.
AND I, WE DON'T HAVE TO ENFORCE.
THE NEXT SPEAKER IS, UH, JUDAH, IL.
I I KNOW WHAT YOU JUST SAID TO ME AND THAT IS NOT POLITE.
UM, MY, UH, REASON FOR, UH, ADDRESSING THE BOARD, UH, AND, UM, THE TOWN THIS EVENING IS REGARDING A MATTER THAT I KNOW THAT THE BOARD WORKED VERY HARD ON ADDRESSING, UM, OVER SEVERAL YEARS AND LAST YEAR CAME, UH, UH, DEVELOPED LOCAL LAW NUMBER 6 20 23 ENTITLED BAMBOO.
THE PURPOSE OF THAT LAW WAS TO PROMOTE AND PROTECT THE PROPERTY, PROPERTY VALUES AND HEALTH AND WELFARE OF RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN, UM, TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THOSE WHO MIGHT BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SUCH PLANTS.
THE INTENT, THE TOWN BOARD FINDS THAT THE PLANT, UH, AND OR A GROWING OF CERTAIN SPECIES OF BAMBOO HAS BEEN, UM, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE DESTRUCTIVE TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, ENVIRONMENT ADJOINING, UM, AND NEIGHBORING, UM, RESIDENTS.
UM, AND, UM, I'M, I'M BRINGING ATTENTION TO THIS BECAUSE A VERY NEAT, UH, RESOLUTION WAS CREATED, UM, REQUIRING THE, THE NEIGHBOR WHERE THE, THE BAMBOO ORIGINATED TO, UM, PROVIDE FINANCIAL, UM, RESOLVE TO THE NEIGHBOR.
WITH BAMBOO HAS GROWN INTO, UM, THEIR, THEIR BACKYARD, SUCH AS THE SITUATION WITH MY, UM, MY, UH, PROPERTY.
THE NEIGHBOR NEXT TO ME, UH, HAS A LARGE FIELD OF BAMBOO, AND IT HAS, IT'S NOW GROWN INTO MY, UM, MY BACKYARD.
AND SO OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT SENT A REPRESENTATIVE OUT AND, UM, THEY DID THEIR DUE DILIGENCE OF, OF, FOR SERVING A CITATION TO THE, MY, MY NEIGHBOR.
AND THE RESPONSE TO MY NEIGHBOR WAS ONE OF, OF ANGER.
THE NEIGHBOR WAS VERY UPSET AND FELT THAT I HAD REPORTED ON HIM, COMPLAINED
[00:50:01]
ABOUT HIM.AND I EXPLAINED THIS IS THE, THE TOWN'S, UM, POLICY.
SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF WHEN THAT POLICY WAS CREATED, IF ANYBODY REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF CREATING, UM, CONTENTION BETWEEN NEIGHBORS, WHEN ONE IS ASSUMED TO BE THE ORIGINATOR OF BAMBOO, UM, THIS PLANT, UM, IS, IS A WARRIOR PLANT.
IT FIGHTS HARD TO SURVIVE AND PROLIFERATE, AND IT FIGHTS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.
NOW, WHERE THE PLANT HAS, IS COMING FROM NE NEXT DOOR TO MY HOUSE.
THERE ARE THREE HOUSES ON NORTH ROAD WHERE THE PLANT HAS CREATED A JUNGLE BEHIND THOSE HOUSES AND IN MY NEIGHBOR'S YARD.
UM, I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY THAT HE PLANTED IT BECAUSE IT WAS THERE WHEN HE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.
SO MY POINT IN BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION IS THAT WHILE THE POLICY THAT YOU HAVE CREATED, UM, ADDRESSES THE ISSUE, UM, WHERE THERE IS CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THE BAMBOO ORIGINATED IN ONE YARD AND MIGRATED TO ANOTHER.
WE HAVE AT LEAST ONE OTHER SCENARIO HERE IN THE TOWN WHERE IT IS NOT TO DISCERN WHERE THE PLANT ACTUALLY ORIGINATED.
AND THEREFORE THE NEIGHBOR WHO IS IN RECEIPT OF THE CITATION IS NOT WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.
HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE ADDRESS THIS MATTER? I'M SURE IT'S NOT ONLY IN MY BACKYARD, IT'S PROBABLY IN OTHER PLACES AROUND THE TOWN, BUT, UM, IT, IT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR THOSE OF US, UM, WHERE THERE IS NO CLEAR, UM, INDICATION THAT IT, THAT IT ACTUALLY ORIGINATED IN MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR'S YARD.
UM, I KNOW THAT AT, AT THAT PART OF AUGUSTINE ROAD AND NORTH ROAD, THERE IS A, THERE'S A CEMETERY, AND IT'S ALSO POSSIBILITY THAT THERE IS TOWN OWNED PROPERTY UP IN THERE.
THE PROPERTY THAT THE STATE NOW OWNS IS A STATE PROPERTY.
THE BAMBOO BEHIND THAT HOUSE LOOKS LIKE A JUNGLE.
SO THERE'S POSSIBLE SEVERAL OTHER ENTITIES HERE THAT MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE.
I'M ASKING THE BOARD TO TAKE A RE-LOOK AT THIS LOCAL LAW AND TO CONSIDER STRATEGIES FOR ADDRESSING IT UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT DON'T FIT NEATLY INTO THE SCENARIO CREATED BY LOCAL LAW.
YEAH, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD DISCUSS THAT AT A WORK SESSION.
YOU KNOW, THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW AND, YOU KNOW, IT IS VERY INVASIVE.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WHAT WE SHOULD DO ALSO DO IS WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE LAWS THAT WE PASS AND JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, AFTER A YEAR OR SO, REEVALUATE IT.
SEE WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN'T WORK, WHAT NEEDS, UH, YOU KNOW, TWEAKING.
IT COULD BE LIKE THE NOISE ORDINANCE.
UM, UM, YOU KNOW, WE JUST RECENTLY PASSED THE, THE, UH, THE, UH, THE RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE, THE BOXES, YOU KNOW, UH, THE STORY, THE BINS, THE DONATE, THE BINS, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE ENFORCING THAT? YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE SHOULD JUST, WE SHOULDN'T JUST PASS THE LAWS.
WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ENFORCED.
THE BAMBOO HAD TO BE ON ONE SIDE OF THE FENCE OR THE OTHER.
NOW, IF IT'S BOTH OVERGROWN WITH BAMBOO, THEN IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE.
BUT IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE BAMBOO ON THEIR BACKYARD OR DIDN'T THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR HAS HAD IT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, THEN IT ORIGINATED ON THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD AND IT CAME INTO YOUR YARD.
UNLESS YOUR PERSON IS SAYING, I ALSO HAD BAMBOO FOR A LONG TIME.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT MY BAMBOO WENT TO THE NEIGHBOR OR THE NEIGHBOR'S.
BUT THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS IS THAT IT'S AN EXTREMELY INVASIVE PLANT AND WE NEED TO BRING IT UNDER CONTROL.
YES, IT COULD BE DIFFICULT IF YOU GO TO YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY, I DIDN'T HAVE BAMBOO, AND NOW I DO, AND YOU HAVE LOADS OF BAMBOO ON YOUR PROPERTY, IT CAME FROM YOURS.
THE TOWN WILL GO OUT, WE WILL GIVE A CITATION.
AND IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP FOR THE SUMMONS, IT'LL BECOME A WARRANT.
SO BY TELLING THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT THAT
[00:55:01]
A NEIGHBOR HAS BAMBOO ON THEIR PROPERTY AND IT CAME ONTO YOUR PROPERTY, UH, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ACTION UP AGAINST THAT BECAUSE THAT BAMBOO WILL THEN OVERCOME YOUR PROPERTY AND IT'LL GO TO THE NEXT PROPERTY AND IT'LL GO TO THE NEXT PROPERTY.IT'S, AND IT'S, IT'S NOT EASY TO GET RID OF, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO GET RID OF IT AS SOON AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
AND YOU HAVE TO PUT A BARRIER THAT GOES DOWN THREE OR FOUR FEET DEEP IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF THESE SHOOTS.
WE WERE ASKED TO ADDRESS IT AND WE PASSED A LAW TO DO THAT.
YES, IT'S ALWAYS UNCOMFORTABLE DEALING WITH A NEIGHBOR, PARTICULARLY IF THE NEIGHBOR'S DOING SOMETHING THAT'S, YOU KNOW, NEGATIVELY AFFECTING YOUR PROPERTY AS IT EXISTS.
IT MAY NOT BE AN EXPECTED LAW.
ALRIGHT, WE SAID WE WERE GONNA RE-LOOK AT IT.
SO DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE FROM, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE? UH, LAST SPEAKER WILL BE CLIFTON ABRAMS. GOOD EVENING.
YOU KNOW, UM, I WAS SITTING DOWN AND I WAS TELLING MY GOOD FRIEND, UM, MARLENE THAT, UM, I'M TIRED.
I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE UP HERE.
BUT THEN BEFORE I KNEW IT, IT WAS PUBLIC COMICS.
I THOUGHT, OH SHOOT, I WOULD STICK AROUND.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, UM, I THINK, YOU KNOW, I, I WAS LOOKING, I WAS LIKE SAYING, WOW, YOU KNOW, I'M ON, I'M ON THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONER OF THE GREENBORO HOUSING AUTHORITY THAT BISHOP PRESTON AND JAMES ROBINSON, I GUESS FRANCIS SOMETIME, DON'T LIKE ME MENTIONING.
UM, I AM A DISTRICT LEADER, CARRY YOUR PETITIONS WITH MINE, CARRYING YOURS, JOY AND PAUL.
UM, AND I AM THE FOUNDER OF A 5 0 1 C3 COMMUNITY CENTER WITHOUT WALLS INCORPORATED WITH A $3 MILLION LIFE INSURANCE.
SO, YOU KNOW, I SAY THAT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, RESPECT IS EARNED NOT GIVEN.
YOU KNOW, AND WHEN PEOPLE WANT, RESPECT, ANY RESPECT OF THE PEOPLE TOO, AND YOU COULD BE IN A POSITION OF POWER AND YOU SHOULDN'T HOLD PERSONAL OPINIONS OR FEELINGS AGAINST SOMEBODY BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE 'EM.
AND I BRING THAT UP BECAUSE, UM, THE COUNTY GAVE MY ORGANIZATION 15,000, BUT THEY MATCH THE TOWN OF GREENBURG $15,000 THEN OUTTA SOMEWHERE.
THE TOWN OF GREENBURG CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A GRANT, BUT I MUST SAY, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY STRUCTURED THEIR GUNS, EVEN THOUGH THE TOWN AND, AND THE COMMISSIONER OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER SENT A LETTER TO THE COUNTY SAYING, WE ARE NOT WORKING WITH CLIFF ABRAMS. BUT WHAT THEY DID, THEY GAVE ME THE MONEY UP FRONT.
IT'S ABOUT THE CHILDREN THAT LIVE IN GREENBURG RIGHT HERE IN FAIRVIEW, THAT THE LIBRARY GREENBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY GIVES ME ONE GIVEN ORGANIZATION ONE DAY A MONTH FOR FREE AND THEY PAY FOR THE SPEAKERS.
RIGHT? THEN I LOOK AT IT LIKE I WAS HERE AND WE WAS TALKING, OH YEAH, I WANT TO ASK THIS QUESTION HERE.
YOU APPOINT FIVE PEOPLE TO THE GREENBERG HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD, RIGHT? I KNOW JOY, YOU JUST GOT A, A BOOK, A COMMISSIONER HANDBOOK.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE REST OF THEM DID.
I WANT YOU TO GET THE BYLAWS TOO, BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW, RIGHT? HOW DO Y'ALL, UM, APPOINT Y KEEP ON REAPPOINTING PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
AND I WANNA KNOW WHAT CRITERIA THAT YOU'RE USED.
LIKE, DO YOU LIKE JUST SAY, OH, THEY'RE FIVE YEARS UP, LET ME JUST REAPPOINT THEM.
OR IS IT'S SOMEWHERE Y'ALL GO TO SAY, I WONDER WHAT THE RESIDENT'S SAYING.
I WONDER, YOU KNOW, WHAT WARRANTED THEM TO KEEP ON GETTING REINSTATED? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT NO ANSWER, BUT, UH, YOU PROBABLY GONNA HELP ME OUT LATER WITH THAT JOY.
AND I WAS HERE THE LAST BOARD MEETING AND THEY SAID, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SECOND FLOOR FOR BARBARA PERRY AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO, BUT THEY SAID THAT THE ADVISORY BOARD GOT SAVED FREE.
AND I'M LIKE, HOLD UP Y'ALL POINT THE ADVISORY BOARD.
SO HOW DO THEY GOT MORE SAY THAN Y'ALL GOT? YOU KNOW? AND THEN I'M LIKE SAYING THAT, UM,
[01:00:02]
I'M ON THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE, RIGHT? BUT Y'ALL MADE A DECISION NOT TO LET ME BE A VOTE MEMBER.AND I'M STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT, AND I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT Y'ALL MADE THAT DECISION ON THAT I'VE BEEN THERE FOR THREE YEARS.
THE, UM, UM, GOODMAN CAME HERE AND TOLD Y'ALL THE IMPORTANT ROLE I PLAY ON THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE, BUT FOR SOME REASON Y'ALL VOTED ME NOT TO BE A VOTE MEMBER.
I'VE BEEN ON IT FOR THREE YEARS.
SO I ASKED, CAN WE HAVE A WORK SESSION OR SOMETHING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THE CRITERIA TO SAY WHO COULD BE A VOTE MEMBER AND WHO CAN'T BE A VOTE MEMBER? AND FOR SOME ODD REASON, NOBODY STILL DIDN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION YET, YOU KNOW, SO IF Y'ALL COULD MAKE A DECISION WHILE ME NOT BEING A VOTE MEMBER, HOW CAN THE ADVISORY BOARD AT THE CENTER MAKE A DECISION ON BARBARA PRAIRIE? THANK YOU.
