Cullimore Fence Request: Amelunke shared that the homeowner at 1100 Rear Coats has  
requested permission to install a 6 foot tall wooden privacy fence in part of his back yard.  
The homeowner would like to install the fence due to issues he has had with theft and  
people driving through his yard. A similar request for a fence was approved at a June 2022  
CCLT meeting. Stanton commented that he would like a requirement in place for a  
consistent type of fencing. Maze shared her concern that if a certain type of fence is  
required, that may cause a financial barrier to some homeowners, and lack of a fence can  
be a safety issue. Amelunke suggested that the Board could set a standard for future  
fence requests or continue to review them on a case by case basis. Stanton stated that  
he would like to continue to review them on a case by case basis.  
Motion to approve a 6 foot privacy fence in the agreed upon areas per Staff

Board Member Attendance Discussion: Clark shared that a few days ago Stanton  
reached out to Staff about removing Chris Ross from the CCLT Board. Ross has not  
attended a meeting since July 28, 2021. Per CCLT by-laws, after a Board member  
misses three consecutive meetings it is possible to vote to remove them from the Board.  
If the Board votes tonight to remove Ross, he could appeal to be reinstated if he attends  
the next meeting. Staff can send a certified letter to Ross informing him of the Board’s  
decision, if he does not respond it will be considered a resignation and Staff will let the  
City Clerk’s office know that the Board position is open.

LaBrunerie shared that the Board approved sending a Letter of Intent to the Columbia

response to the LOI before having the next meeting.  
Kasey Hammock with Partner for Better spoke as a member of the public. She shared  
that she is a consultant for non-profits, and could help the CCLT obtain additional funding.  
She also shared that there is a sliding scale cost for her services, and that she has  
experience with grant writing and some experience with affordable housing. Clark shared  
that if the Board is interested in Ms. Hammock’s services that the CCLT policy guidelines  
would need to be consulted, and that there may need to be an RFP process. Clark also  
recommended verifying that procuring Ms. Hammock’s services would be allowed within  
the terms of the LOI to the Columbia Housing Authority.  
Trotter stated that at one time in the past he had asked Staff to determine which direction  
traffic should be going on Rear Coats, and wanted to follow up on that. He also shared  
that there is often disruptive traffic in the early morning hours going southbound from  
nearby businesses. Amelunke shared that when that was inquired about previously,  
Traffic Management Staff had indicated that there would need to be more traffic on Rear  
Coats to designate it a one-way street. Amelunke will follow up with Traffic Management  
again to see what can be done at this time.
