66 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 351 Anthony Cecil: Well, when we talked to them, we told them that we couldn't block it off at that time,just <br /> 352 because the amount of traffic we got there. It's a madhouse anyway.We've already talked to them and told them <br /> 353 we couldn't guarantee them nothing during that particular weekend. <br /> 354 <br /> 355 Delores Bailey: I have a quick question about the safety of it. If it's not Rodeo weekend, how safe is that? Is <br /> 356 that like a lot of people that have eyes on where you're anticipating putting it? <br /> 357 <br /> 358 Anthony Cecil: Yes, there's several families that live right there. My family lives there. My father lives <br /> 359 there. The Crabtree's live right there. We've never had a problem. I've seen people walking on the track at 2 or <br /> 360 3:00 in the morning. That's just when they're doing exercises because we have it well lit and then when we do <br /> 361 have to ATM brought in,we do have plans on putting more lighting out there for that purpose and taking a couple <br /> 362 trees down just for the simple fact to leave it more open. I used to be a deputy sheriff, and it's not the fact that it's <br /> 363 a bad area, but if you can prevent it,just take all obstacles out of the way. <br /> 364 <br /> 365 Delores Bailey: I appreciate that. My other question is how many years have you been doing the rodeo? <br /> 366 <br /> 367 Anthony Cecil: This will be 28 years. <br /> 368 <br /> 369 Beth Bronson: When will it be this year? <br /> 370 <br /> 371 Anthony Cecil: We actually moved it back a week. It's the last weekend of September. <br /> 372 <br /> 373 Beth Bronson: All right, good to know. Don't want to compete with Hog Day. I do have one additional <br /> 374 question, well just a few questions, did you say SECU did provide you with site plans for the Cash Points? <br /> 375 <br /> 376 Anthony Cecil: They did. They come out there and actually drew it out where they wanted it to put and then <br /> 377 1 think when they went and applied for the permit, they were told at the time the only place they could put it was <br /> 378 up under our shelter at the building which would take, it wasn't practical to do that. <br /> 379 <br /> 380 Beth Bronson: But to be clear, it was not the zoning that was the issue of a rejection; it was the <br /> 381 drive-through— <br /> 382 <br /> 383 Anthony Cecil: No, the zoning. The zoning is what shut it down. <br /> 384 <br /> 385 Beth Bronson: But if you had put it in the shelter, the zoning would not have been an issue? <br /> 386 <br /> 387 Anthony Cecil: I don't know exact, really what they were talking about, but that's what they were told at the <br /> 388 time. <br /> 389 <br /> 390 Beth Bronson: That's understandable. I mean the building itself,would it support having the Cash Points to <br /> 391 be able to drive up to, park and walk into it? Is that feasible? <br /> 392 <br /> 393 Anthony Cecil: No. <br /> 394 <br /> 395 Beth Bronson: I mean given that they would want to install a drive-through, would they be installing all of <br /> 396 the asphalt and pavement? <br /> 397 <br /> 398 Anthony Cecil: There's already some pavement there that they may be able to use but yeah, I'm assuming <br /> 399 there's a certain area they'll pave and I'm not sure to be honest with you. <br /> 400 <br />
