Pettit, Mayor NACC Meeting Monday, May 7, 2018 Council Meeting Public Comments by Perry Holcomb, 1891 Green Forest Drive, North Augusta,SC 29841—(803) 279-4839 Summary of Comments—Questions to Mayor, Mr. Glover, and to City Council as follows: Question to Mayor- As per SC Code § 5-9-30, which contain the responsibilities of the mayor in a mayor-council form of government, Section (6) states: "to submit to the council and make available to the public a complete report on the finances and administrative activities of the municipality as of the end of each fiscal year;" When will this complete report be made available to the public? Questions to Mr. Glover, City Administrator 1. When will Mr. James Dean of Greenstone make another progress report to the City about continuing construction at RV. 2. Questions regarding the Stadium Parking Deck. (a) In a Facebook interchange with Mr. Jess Eiseman, co-owner of the Augusta GreenJackets, who play at SRP Park in our city, I mentioned the initial failure of Greenstone to obtain a developer for the Stadium Parking Deck. He replied that the Stadium Deck construction would begin "this summer and be completed for the beginning of the GreenJacket's 2019 season." Can you elaborate on that, i. e.,just who's the new developer? (b) Will the proposed deck contain as many vehicles as that originally planned? 3. What's happened to the proposed RV "drinking area" ordinance? Questions to members of Council—At the March 19th meeting of Council, I proposed an amendment to Sec. 2-63 of the City Code to lengthen individual citizen comments to 10 minutes. That proposal is part of the minutes of that meeting. What is the status of my proposal? Will Council take any action on it? If Council does not have any substantive ideas about their position, I will proceed as already planned. Mrs. Young, please accept this as a substitute for the required form and make this page a part of the minutes. Thank you!
