CITIZENS CONCERNS Mayor Brown stated that there is a five-minute time limit and they have up to thirty days to respond to these concerns. Councilman Jackson called the point of order and provided clarity on the fact that it is their policy that will try to respond to these concerns within thirty days but they do not have to. Kim Brinn- stated she would like for the Council to move forward on future business and concentrate on town business instead of acquisitions which accomplish nothing. Downgrading Council and the audience have no business being done, she called for national unity. She also advised us to continue to look out for our neighbors. Tim Brinn- Stated at the Monday 1, February County Commissioners meeting, the Commissioners decided by a unanimous approval to enter a contract with ZLS Services for the County pursued overdue tax properties. That was to be signed this month and will go into effect and become a standing contract between the County and ZLS Services. Also discussed was a need for County level Code Enforcement, that issue will be coming up and they will be following up on that doing the month of February. It will be followed up by the County Commissioners. Gracie Felton- Stated that she wanted to know what was going on with the SBI Investigation and that she did not like the acquisition that everyone was throwing blame. She does not like what the Council is doing right now. Each one of the Council needs to listen and they need to come together. She does not like the idea of not having the planning meeting. She also stated that does not like the idea of being blinded when she is a citizen. Linda Wade Hall- Stated she had concerns about the light bill and that she and everyone in the building are on disability and their light bill went up extremely. She wants them to consider it. Gilbert Vaughan- Stated that there has been an acquisition that private meetings are being held without all the Council being present. He wants to know if this is true or false. Frank E. Norman- Stated he is coming as a citizen and at this time he is not representing himself as a Councilperson. Things are going on in the town that is bias and unfair. He advised that Councilman Jackson as well as himself had items that were supposed to have been put on the agenda and the Mayor said they were never placed on the Agenda and the Agenda that she has does not have them up there. The Manager agreed that they were asked for and asked for on time. That means that somebody is not doing what they are supposed to do, or somebody is lying. Once an item gets on the Agenda it should not get hijacked by a majority. As a citizen, he thinks that they should follow the rules that they agree on. Councilman Jackson was berated for almost a complete hour and for the majority of the time that he was being berated Councilman was not even in the room and everybody was good with it but when the item is said about someone else it is a problem. He received Mrs. Brinn’s email and he wants to respond so it is on the record, if certain segments are doing wrong as a Councilperson, he is going to address it. Town Council Regular Session February 8, 2021 Page 4 of 11 Tony Riddick- Stated that on the record the previous lady that spoke on unity bashed his company years ago and because of that a company would not call him back. We should practice what we preach and what we speak about. The Council is extremely biased. They disregard Councilman Norman and Councilman Jackson and to him, they are very knowledgeable about policy and procedure. He is concerned about taking a drug test in Hertford to get a job and if there is speculation that someone on the Council is doing drugs that person should be dealt with. He does not want anyone from the Town making decisions if they are under the influence. The council should also have to take a drug test. Justice should not be blind. C- No one came forward. Hanit Buchannan- Stated that he did not sign up to speak and that he will give his cousin his other four minutes to speak. He is yielding his other four minutes to Mr. Riddick. Mr. Riddick-Stated that if anyone on the Council has issues with drugs, they should show some type of leniency and they should not attack that person. We do not need to go behind people's backs and talk. He still has not seen a plan under the Waterfront project that addresses the core of Hertford, the uptown area of Hertford where many people live. Call the citizens to the table and let them have input. The Council needs to find banking centers that work with the people in that area that will guarantee low-interest rates and allow people to stay in that area. Hitchwood (Adam Perry)- Stated that he had a question if they were familiar with the term “Common Ground”? Both times he came he heard arguments and it should be about the issues and maybe the citizens want to hear about some of the items being left out. Let the citizens pick out what they want to speak on. Quentin Jackson- Stated that he appreciated everyone coming to share their Council concerns. He has been witnessing the last three years and that the citizens are owed some answers. The Council people use to have enough integrity to talk and text after the meetings. He advised he asked the Council to come out to the work session and we are the highest-paid city employees. He stated that they should fulfill their campaign promises. He then stated that he got arrested a couple of times, and it cost him thousands of dollars to fight for him to sit back in his seat. Some of them condemned him and then he was acquitted. He understands the color of his skin plays a lot in this. It is so passionate between him and Councilman Norman because they have taken the classes and educated themselves on the rules and procedures. Look at the agenda items and decide which way to go. NEW BUSINESS Mayor Pro Tem Hodges made the motion to approve the Resolution of canceling non-budgetary Work Sessions. Councilman Mimlitsch seconded. Councilman Jackson called the point of order about canceling the Work Session and advised them to look at their Charter. He wants to know if this is something that needs to be written in their Charter and that he thinks they should have a public hearing and ask the people. Mayor Brown stated that she would like to rule on it because the agenda item was emailed to all the Council to read two days ago. Mayor Brown ruling on the motion was for Mayor Pro Tem Hodges to keep reading the resolution. Mayor Pro Tem Hodges made the motion to withdraw those three items A, B, and C.

The lights on the other side towards the back need to be put up. Councilman Norman has the light in the Janitor room. Councilman Jackson stated that this was already being taken care of. Mayor Pro Tem Hodges made a motion for the Manager to proceed forward with contracts. Manager Hurdle stated that we are not at a cost level where we have to do bids. Councilman Jackson stated that they needed to look at cost first. Councilman Mimlitsch stated that he was curious about the Shingles and the year of shingles being given and he wanted to know if the leaks and plumbing could be looked at by Public Works. Councilman Norman stated that Public Works had already been there, and they were the ones that suggested plumbing. Mayor stated that she thinks that this is something that needs to be tabled and that the Town Manager get the proper contractors in and that she does the assessment and comes back with what the cost would be, with recommendations on what needs to be fixed, and who is going to fix them and how much will it cost. Mayor Pro Tem Hodges stated that he thinks they need to do the roof and he moved that they direct the Manager to meet with contractors and make the determination and then come back to them and they make the decision at that time. Councilman Norman stated if the town were willing to take care of the roof, he would be willing to take care of the situation here. Councilman Norman seconded Mayor Pro Tem Hodges's motion.
