like to make a motion to what was the name of the company was it cyam okay I would like to make a motion that we accept Cunningham's viid a purchase for was it 18 yes I'm sorry I didn't bring that 18 golf carts okay it's it $42,000 except except C's bid to purchase the old golf carts from 42,600 okay $ 42,600 so what you want put when we sale I when we purchase this is just a sale okay yeah second any further discussion there on fav the at like sign No 3 to one and pass 4 to one 4 to 4 to one pass okay then the next so in in the next one is we advertise for uh bids to lease uh for a 5year period of 18 new golf

carts um I want to accept their Cunningham's bid at lease per for five five years only amendment I would to make to it is if the treasurer an Melton comes up with any additional money to make some payments on it at one time allow her to do that so we not have to pay interest over the 5year period so any big payments we can make to offset the cost of the interest allow Miss uh the treasure M Melton to do that do have a SE those pay you made from revenue from the uh some of be Revenue maybe LG LG is it LGA money you said maybe LGA pay it off but if we make the payment to the company that would just save us that we can not that we can't but it might save us $18,000 in interest over the period of the the lease the regular ones will be from uh you all in favor that say I I like sign I motion carries um next we have to consider the ordinance 2024 day 7 second reading

we've already read the first reading on the ordinance I'll make a motion Jason I will say that there was an additional Amendment consistent with your's discussion I actually need a second yeah for discussion I'll make the the first somebody want to make one for discussion who's second for discussion second second okay motion I'm sorry Jess that's okay uh but the approval uh I mean this uh ordinance we have certain language in it uh the only thing that that was added uh I can just read this for you guys if you want the approval of a variance in any individual case shall not be construed as a precedent for approval of similar variances in the future um uh meaning that if someone files something just because we approved it in one action does not we have to approve it in another each will be considered on a Case by case and we say that in the next sentence we say each variance request will be considered independently based upon specific facts and circumstances presented the Fiscal Court May review each request on a case- toase basis as each varant within the application and prior approvals will not obligate the Fiscal Court to approve similar requests in the future future uh

the Fiscal Court May at its discretion consider each variance within an application separately rather as a single unified variance okay so it's allowing you some um discretion with respect to on a Case by case basis on what you just because we accepted this white woman doesn't necessarily mean have to accept it sounded like some of the concern in in in the prior pury and I do add one other thing which was in the uh the misdemeanor section we added um uh one $ to $500 per violation per day and so we added the words per day there is that in our ordinance uh it will be well the omu includes similar Valu but right now we're just consider that's [Applause] [Applause]

I know you talked about that six foot did you change that in cuz the old one I have is eight but yeah the new one should have the six foot uh as opposed to the eight if not that can that can be one that we we bring up here but it would be a six yeah that was actually in first reading both made the motion I've still got the old get the one change but I just want to make sure cuz I need the right to change up Miranda Johnston yes d yes mckenny yes bu yes benett [Applause] no four is a majority of the court so that pass motion pass okay now we're ready for uh this other one on the variant is different and uh Justin is going to present that before a motion M well simply because uh negotiation a sense uh it's the Court's discretion of what the court wishes certainly to do um I think the Judge is asking me to to do

this simply for purposes of explanation um so uh there has been a u a company that has requested um and made uh in a sense this ordinance amendment is fairly new as as it is just start off the press certainly but they have requested I variance with respect to their application their application um some of you have been in discussions and and I think we had a open meeting here La before the last regular Fiscal Court meeting uh for purposes of discussion with with the company about their proposal uh subsequent to that uh the court uh had considered that they might allow a variance and they have now presented very uh very very very is variances uh we they have sent a old I mean a memorandum of understanding for this court to consider which would uh uh within the contract it would have a certain term uh they have certain exhibits attached to it which would be the

location uh the the properties that it deals with uh and then there's a an exhibit SE that's supposed to be attached to this if the court were approve it uh a c Exhibit C which would be a detailed mapping of the setback so this court could be uh aware more of of specifics as to each of those setbacks um my discussions with the attorney for the Solar Company uh we've indicated the expectations that you guess have let me know uh that that you would want to see not saying that you would necessarily vote for it but what you would expect to see in the application and that's what these uh these maps are supposed to show us uh uh they're about to get here in just a minute I think they're going to be raining them so that they could be larger we could AG to view view them uh but to just to go over the U uh the memorandum of understanding it would it would have some indications of modification of setback it would have some modification of screening consistent with their mapping uh but it would have some protections that I know that was important to this court which was setbacks especially with regard to
