LISTENING SESSION FOR CONSTITUENT CONCERNS REGARDING THE CURRENT
FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION

Mayor Futrelle opened this s ess ion, reminding everyone that it was an opportunity for
anyone who felt the need to expres s their concerns about the current federal
adminis tration to their local government. No one s igned up to s peak during this s es s ion.
PUBLIC COMMENT

Mr. and Mrs . Mukuls ki spoke remotely. Mr. Mukuls ki explained that they had been
inves tigating a property owned by Boone for the pas t year. He inquired about the Council’s
intentions regarding a dilapidated property on the corner of Depot and Tremont. He
des cribed the property as having a dis tres s ed trailer that had been on Boone's books for 33
years . Mr. Mukuls ki mentioned they had s poken with Brandon Wis e from the Planning
Department about the property and expres s ed their intention to dis mantle the exis ting
s tructure and rebuild it exactly as it was , or potentially build a s maller vers ion with s ome
attic s pace. Mr. Mukulski as ked if the Council would cons ider s elling the property to them
and putting it back on the tax rolls . He s ugges ted that the Council could s elect an
apprais er, for which the Mukuls kis would pay the fee, to place a value on the property.
Mayor Futrelle thanked the Mukuls kis for bringing this matter to their attention and
explained that during public comment, the Council's role was to lis ten rather than engage
in convers ation. Mayor Futrelle as s ured them that the Council would cons ider their
propos al and dis cus s it further at a later date. Councilmember Plaag propos ed amending
the agenda to add a new item as the third matter under Council Matters to dis cus s this
matter further. Mayor Pro-Tem George ques tioned whether the Council s hould move
forward without debate, expres s ing dis interes t in proceeding and concern about the
precedent it could s et regarding the dis pos al of Town property.

Councilmember Plaag made a motion to amend the agenda to include the reques t as an
agenda item for dis cuss ion at that time. The motion was s econded by Councilmember
Ros eman and approved unanimous ly.

Councilmember Ros eman noted that if the property were to be s old for top dollar, the
funds could be directed into the affordable hous ing fund. Councilmember Plaag
res ponded that if the s tructure on the property was deemed beyond repair and pos ed a
liability, the Town s hould addres s the is s ue. However, he reiterated his oppos ition to
s elling any Town property except the Bolick property, as that s ite was particularly s uitable
for another hous ing trus t project. Councilmember Tugman expres s ed agreement with not
s elling the property. Planning Director Shook expres s ed uncertainty regarding the trailer's
location and s ugges ted that a s urvey might be neces s ary to confirm whether it was
s ituated on the s ubject parcel or an adjacent lot.

Mr. Mukuls ki as ked for clarification on what cons tituted a hous ing trus t project, and Mayor
Futrelle provided a brief explanation. Mr. Mukuls ki then inquired whether private parties
could participate in the initiative, to which Mayor Futrelle confirmed yes and encouraged
dis cus s ion with the hous ing trus t. Mr. Mukuls ki s tated that he had over forty years of
experience as a developer and builder and felt qualified to improve the property. He as ked
the Council to recons ider, s ugges ting that while the parcel was s mall, he was willing to
work with an architect to create a unique des ign s uited to Boone.
Mayor Futrelle thanked Mr. Mukuls ki for his willingnes s to as s is t with community
improvement, but indicated that a conclus ion had been reached. He recommended that
the Mukuls kis contact the hous ing trus t directly. Councilmember Tugman identified
hers elf as being involved with the hous ing trus t and encouraged the Mukuls kis to vis it the
organization’s webs ite for more information, providing them with contact details .

REQUESTED APPEARANCES

Ma rre na Gre e r - SAHA

Marrena Greer reques ted permis s ion from the Council to cons truct a temporary s eating
s ection in the pit, directly in front of the s tage, in the amphitheater for an upcoming
immers ive production. She explained that the original plan to have the production at the
mus eum was no longer feas ible due to ongoing cons truction. Ms . Greer propos ed that
temporary s eating would be approximately 12 feet by 20 feet wide and 2 feet high, with
railings . She added that this was neces s ary to bring the audience clos er to the s tage and
accommodate the director's vis ion for the s how.

Councilmember Ros eman expres s ed frus tration that the organization lacked s ufficient
funding. Councilmember Carter as ked whether SAHA had cons idered renting bleachers .
Ms . Greer res ponded that the cos t to rent bleachers was too high. She then provided an
overview of how the current s ituation had developed, including cons truction delays .
Councilmember Plaag noted that architect Bill Dixon had been working clos ely with SAHA
and believed that building contractor Skip Greene had als o been involved, and ques tioned
how the current is s ues had come as a s urpris e. Ms . Greer s tated that s he was uns ure.

Public Works Director Moody acknowledged that s idewalk cons truction had initially been
s cheduled for completion before the event, but weather delays had occurred. He added
that the res troom project was currently out for bid, though it was unlikely to receive three
bids , and would need to be re-advertis ed. This would likely pus h the cons truction s tart
date into Augus t.

Councilmember Carter s tated that Cook Rentals offered bleacher s ections for $795 per
week, each holding approximately 40 people. He s ugges ted that if the Town partnered to
rent three s ections , the total would be roughly $6,000 for four weeks . Manager Davis
indicated that this would not be a budgetary is s ue if Council wis hed to as s is t.

Councilmember Ros eman rais ed additional concerns , noting that the land might require
leveling and that the area may not be acces s ible to individuals with dis abilities . She made
a motion for the Town to meet with SAHA to unders tand their needs and, if applicable and
pos s ible, to make a platform for s tadium s eating if neces s ary. This motion died due to a
lack of a s econd. Councilmember Plaag expres s ed concern about the cos ts , as king
whether delivery and other fees were included. He s hared his s ympathy for SAHA’s
s ituation, noting that weather delays were beyond their control, but als o voiced concern
about potential public criticis m if money was s pent and attendance was low. Ms . Greer
added that SAHA could potentially cover any cos t difference. Councilmember Plaag
s ugges ted placing a cap on the Town’s financial commitment.

Councilmember Carter noted there were only nine days remaining before the event and
ques tioned whether there was enough time to plan and implement the changes . Public
Works Director Moody s tated that the parade and fireworks would have his s taff too bus y
to cons truct anything in s uch a s hort amount of time.

Mayor Futrelle as ked what the backup plan would be if bleachers were not s ecured. Ms .
Greer res ponded that benches and blankets could be us ed as alternatives .
Councilmember Plaag s ugges ted that performances us ing a thrus t s tage s eating model,
s uch as the Folger production model, could create a more appealing experience for the
audience. Councilmember Carter then made a motion to allow for the rental of one s et of
bleachers for four weeks from Cook Rentals , with the Town covering cos ts of up to $4,000
at the Town Manager’s dis cretion. Mayor Pro-Tem George s econded the motion, which
carried unanimous ly.

Mayor Futrelle declared a break at 6:57 p.m. Council reconvened at 7:04 p.m.

comparis on to other municipalities in Wes tern North Carolina that have had to make
s ignificant cuts or rate increas es due to Hurricane Helene.

Mayor Futrelle added context to the budget dis cus sion, noting that when the current board
came into office, they cut taxes by 8 cents , and s ince then, there has only been a 4-cent

increas e s ervices and opportunities throughout the town.

Department s taff had expres s ed concerns. Mayor Pro-Tem George as ked whether this

Council members debated whether to include a condition prohibiting outdoor s peakers ,
cons idering potential nois e is s ues for s urrounding res idential properties . They discuss ed

After s ome debate, members took a s traw poll on whether to include the outdoor s peaker

Dis c us s ion Re ga rding Pa rking Lot for Rive rs Pa rk Tra il

the parking area, including a 60x60 as phalt s urface with bios wales for s tormwater
management and lighting. The es timated cos t for pavement was $67,500, while a gravel
option, requiring all labor to be performed by s taff, was es timated at approximately
$65,000. Director Moody expres s ed concerns about long-term maintenance is s ues
as s ociated with gravel. Mayor Pro-Tem George noted that the parking lot would eventually
be part of a planned 14-mile recreational loop and expres s ed concerns regarding
challenges related to monitoring parking durations and enforcement, particularly regarding
vis itors potentially leaving the area to dine els ewhere.

Director Moody indicated work could begin by late July or Augus t. Town Manager Davis
s tated that a parks and green s pace fund with jus t over $100,000 was available and
appropriate for the project. Councilmember Ros eman s upported us ing gravel but

the project would need approval from the His toric Pres ervation Commis s ion, which could
delay progres s .

Councilmember Carter made a motion to proceed with the as phalt option;
Councilmember Plaag s econded the motion and noted that the driveway to the Rivers
Hous e was in poor condition, s ugges ting that it be repaved as part of the project. Director
