Approved 6.5.24 350 or the intent, that it's consistent with the surrounding uses. I mean, is Efland Ruritan's intention to stay at that 351 site? 352 353 Anthony Cecil: Yeah, we have no intentions of ever closing. There is a stipulation in our bylaws. If 354 something was to ever happen, that property is supposed to be divided up between the area churches, so 355 hopefully, it will still stay for community use. That's why it was done that way. 356 357 Lamar Proctor: Do your bylaws permit you to sell it? 358 359 Anthony Cecil: No, we're not, they won't sell it. If the club ever dissolves, then the property would be 360 broken up. It would be taken control by the area churches. 361 362 Lamar Proctor: So that's part of the bylaws. And if you all needed to relocate, could you relocate? Or do 363 you have to dissolve and reform another organizational charter or something? 364 365 Anthony Cecil: We've never really thought about that. We're not planning on going anywhere. The Ruritan 366 Club was formed several years ago by, my father was one of them, I've been there since early'80s also, but it 367 was formed to help the community and do different things and just be there basically for a place for people to 368 meet. We've had everything from carnivals just trying to pay for the property. Fortunately,we run into the Rodeo 369 and it helped us out a lot, but no, we don't have any plans of shutting down. 370 371 Lamar Proctor: Well, I want to thank you for what you do for the community. I mean I represent this area 372 and I live in Efland, so thank you all for all the work y'all do. I really appreciate it and that's all I have. 373 374 Anthony Cecil: Thank you. 375 376 Adam Beeman: The only question I have is do you have an idea of where it would be located on your 377 property, this ATM? 378 379 Anthony Cecil: If you look, what we had talked about with the Credit Union, there's a little driveway right 380 here. It used to be where the school buses and all entered the property. About halfway down we had thought 381 about putting it right there. That was the initial plan, and they actually came out and laid it out and then that's 382 when the permit got denied. That's when we figured out that it, what it was zoned and that's why we're trying to 383 solve that problem. We had talked about putting it right there, but we're kind of open to putting it somewhere else 384 if they think it would be better. And the biggest reason we're asking for a drive-through is safety purposes. We 385 are kind of in the rural area and ladies, I don't think they like to come up and get out and have to walk up there, 386 especially in the evening, and stuff like that, but that's the only reason we've discussed a drive-through instead of 387 a walk up. 388 389 Adam Beeman: So, in that vein, would you block it off rodeo nights because I would assume most of your 390 walking patrons are going to stop at that ATM? 391 392 Anthony Cecil: Well, when we talked to them, we told them that we couldn't block it off at that time,just 393 because the amount of traffic we got there. It's a madhouse anyway.We've already talked to them and told them 394 we couldn't guarantee them nothing during that particular weekend. 395 396 Delores Bailey: I have a quick question about the safety of it. If it's not Rodeo weekend, how safe is that? Is 397 that like a lot of people that have eyes on where you're anticipating putting it? 398
