Speaker on code violations and procedure
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Um this is a good opportunity for those of you who have cell phones. I'm sure most of you do. Please put him on a silent position. So they don't interrupt somebody if they're speaking? And uh before we start the uh the regular meeting. Is there anybody here to to speak on a topic that's not on today's agenda? Is there anybody here to speak on something that's not on the agenda today?
Yeah, I was told that there might be, so that maybe they didn't show up.
Anyway, uh who for any of those any of those who plan to uh give testimony today, if you'll please stand and raise your right hand and be sworn.
Do you hear or from the test? Is the truth so
Okay, thank you.
Nick's ready to talk.
Mr. Sherrett, were you can we just confirm that nobody wants to speak on an item that's not on today's agenda? I think that's what they're Talking about back there,
I believe.
I'm waiting for the drum roll.
We have a speaker. Okay. Please give us your name and address please and
my name is Nathan Miller, Nathan Clark Miller Junior. I live at [address removed]. I am new to this procedure. And so um I don't know if I'm supposed to be here today, but I am here to observe and learn. This is way out of my league. I got a ninth grade education. So I just asked if something comes up that I think that might pertain to me, I have the right to speak. Even though this is for the estates of something, I know next week is for where I live at. And
I'm trying to learn. I just learned that I gotta put in a request twenty four hours when it comes to me. I'm just sure to deserve, sir. I don't know I don't think I have a right to speak here. This is but it is my town. You know, I want to live here. So that's all I ask.
Well, Since you are speaking, obviously you do have a right to speak. So Next time if you want to come to the meeting and you have something you'd like to speak about. Raise your hand, we'll make sure you have that opportunity.
Okay, so I need to make sure I sign in next time before I get here. Sure.
Uh before the meeting starts. Yeah. Sir, you to be clear, you don't necessarily have to sign in, but when he asks when the chair asks, is there anybody that wants to speak on something that's not on the agenda, that's when you would get up and say, Yes, I want to speak.
Yes, sir. Well I don't even know the agenda. I even looked at the board yesterday and there was nothing posted about today. You know, I had to go upstairs to thankful they gave me today's date and my date, you know, and they told me today don't pertain to you. But I'm trying to learn and Yeah.
Well,

eventually want to speak to.
Sir, um a friend of mine
Take your time.
Okay, just take your time. Okay. And just
Out of kindness of his heart. We didn't let me have a street. And uh he even paid my liquor bill for eighteen months. And uh maybe there's been some cold violations, I don't know. He don't know. And it looks like uh finally me hopeless. And so I'm trying to figure out a better shelf out there. But I don't want to live in a place where I can't have my cat and I can't work on
my bicycle.
There's a little struggle going with that with people. Mine does eighteen miles an hour and I do obey the rules.
Uh sir sir, just so I'm clear, y you have a friend that has got some code violations.
I violated code violations, he didn't know I'm the one that violated them, sir. And my attorney told me I could sue him, sir. I'm not suing nobody.
No, sir, this ain't, but I'm here to listen, sir. Okay. I do not know the procedure. I've been on the phone until two, three o'clock in the morning. Ninth grade education is very hard. Very hard.
No, I I understand your dilemma, but this particular group does not hear quote violation about violations of the code.
Sir, other than today I got a request before from the She's helping me. She's doing as well as she can do. I'm just here to learn, sir.
Okay. You're welcome to sit in the audience and learn all you want. Thank you for the same.
We can get you the right spot. Okay. You're in good hands.
All right, is anybody else here to speak something that's not on today's agenda? If not, Liam, can we proceed?
