Description
Chattanooga City Council Agenda Session
A
B
E
One
yes
and
there
was
going
to
be
a
change
I
guess
last
month,
so
this
went
from
R2
to
r
I
mean
our
M1
manufacturing.
Two
are
two
from
R3
residential
Zone
I
think
there
has
been
a
request
that
this
go
to
rtz
residential
Zone
at
this
point
in
time,
and
if
that
change
occurs
between
first
and
second
reading,
I
think
it
needs
to
go
back
for
a
first
reading
is
rtz,
so
it'll
have
two
readings.
E
B
A
D
I've
been
out
to
this
property,
what
I'd
like
if
I
can
get
it,
but
first
of
all,
I
can
find
no
sign.
That's
up.
Okay,
all
right!
It's
a
very
interesting
area.
I
know
that
this
particular
one
had
some
opposition,
at
least
written
notes
and
I've
talked
to
the
applicant
I'm,
not
sure
who
the
which
person
I've
talked
to
is
the
applicant
I
need
to
know
a
little
more
history
about
it.
Okay,
Madam,
chair
I
may
be
asking,
depending
on
what
I
hear
from
her
I'll
talk
to
you
after
this.
D
B
You
all
right,
the
state
council
members.
Yes
all
right!
Thank
you!
So
much
all
right.
Oh,
let's
see
all
right
Council.
If
you
continue
to
look
at
your
agenda
under
resolutions,
we
have
several.
We
have
a
couple
items
on
the
council
office.
Family
Justice
Center
just
hit
your
life.
If
you
have
any
questions
mayor's
office,
several
appointments
office
of
Community,
Health
parks
and
Outdoors
planning,
Public
Works,
and
he
should
likely
have
questions
Council.
B
C
E
C
E
E
F
G
You
chair
my
question,
says
from
the
mayor's
office
the
reappointment
of
three
individuals
to
the
storm
water
regulations
board
like
are
we
have
any
new
people
tried
to
apply
to
be
a
part
of
that
board
or
because
pretty
much
this
is
an
all
white
male
dominating
board,
pretty
much
in
the
one
black
person
we
have
on
that
board.
You
know
it's
not
one
to
be
reappointed
or
to
serve
on
it
anymore
and
diversity
is
important
like
is
there
a
reason
why
they're
getting
I'm,
not
understanding
if
nobody
is
applying
then
yeah?
But
if.
H
We
have
people,
so
we
had
our
first
black
applicant
for
this
board
yesterday
and
the
two
years
that
I've
been
here.
There
are
two
spots
still
open
on
this
board
and
I'm.
He
he
would
meet
the
contractor
rep.
This
board
is
one
of
those
ones
that
says
it's
very
prescriptive
about,
like
this
person
has
to
be
an
engineer.
This
person
has
to
be
from
a
neighborhood
association
and
so
on.
H
So
the
expertise
is
a
big
factor
in
this,
so
we're
limited
into
our
pool
of
applicants,
but
I
was
thrilled
to
see
that
we
had
an
African-American
applicant
for
the
first
time
in
two
years
yesterday
we
have
two
spots
still
open,
but
everyone,
regardless
of
that,
is
also
chosen
for
their
ability
to
be
on
the
board
and
and
with
subject
matter,
expertise
and
I
believe
the
applicant
yesterday
did
have
that
and
he'll
be
under
consideration
for
one
one
of
the
other,
two
openings
that
we'll
be
bringing
to
you
next
month.
Okay,.
H
We
have
two
left:
yes,
ma'am,
okay,
I'll
try
to
help
you
get
some
people,
we
would
love
that
and
I
can
get
you
an
updated
graphic.
You
know
I,
send
out
the
graphics
every
now
and
then
to
everybody
on
the
council
and
I
create
a
special
one
for
each
of
the
nine
of
you
showing
what
boards
are
still
available,
that
we
need
more
pool
of
applicants
from
I'll,
be
happy
to
update
those
and
send
them
out
again.
Okay,
thank
you,
Chris.
Thank
you.
B
All
right,
councilman
cool
rock,
any
additional
questions.
That's
it
all
right!
Thank
you
all
right!
Council.
If
you
continue
to
look
at
your
agenda,
we
talked
about
Public,
Works
Wastewater.
Next
week's
proposed
agenda.
We
don't
we
don't
have
one,
because
we
don't
have
a
meeting
next
week,
so
we
will
be
out
next
Tuesday
May
30th
of
purchasing
questions.
We
have
six
purchases,
one
RFP,
zero,
renewals,
emergency
purchases
or
sole
source.
Any
questions
or
comments.
I
Yes,
sir,
we
did
ask
for
purchasing
to
remove
the
RFP
requests
under
affordable
housing.
So
we
would
like
more
time
to
work
on
that
proposal
and
to
bring
that
one
back
so
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys,
just
if
you
guys
is
purchasing
sheets,
were
updated
to
reflect
that
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
on
the
record.
All.
B
Right
next,
under
future
considerations,
any
questions
or
comments,
all
right,
I,
don't
see
any
lights
and
then
Council
I
did
want
to
bring
up
quickly
about
in
encumbering
our
Council
of
our
remaining
Council
budget.
So
we
want
to
encumber
at
least
70
000
of
the
Romanian
City
Council
budget
and
whatever
may
be
left
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
to
complete
the
renovations
to
the
council
assembly
room.
J
B
Got
a
motion
in
proper
second
any
comments
or
questions
all
in
favor,
I'll
post
all
right
motion
passes.
Thank
you
so
much
and
you
all
will
be
receiving
some
information
about
that
departmental
reports.
We
have
the
air
pollution,
control
board,
ordinance,
update
and
also
a
Budgetel
update
committees.
Today
we
have
affordable
housing
committee.
I
K
B
B
L
And
we
have
hi
there,
Council
Ellis
Smith
the
mayor's
office
and
there's
our
so
I'll.
Just
give
you
a
brief
refresher,
because
this
was
about
six
months
ago,
Budgetel
was
was
suddenly
shut
down.
This
was
the
week
before
Thanksgiving
that
made
228
adults
and
126
children.
Suddenly
homeless.
I
was
about
40
degrees
outside
that
morning,
with
no
notice
just
for
the
context
on
the
scope
of
what
happened
here.
L
Some
of
you
remember
when
Patton
Towers
caught
fire,
that
was
about
200
people,
so
this
was
larger
than
that
in
terms
of
human
tragedy,
even
though
this
took
place
outside
of
Chattanooga's
borders,
Chattanooga
responded,
as
it
always
does,
with
compassion
and
competence.
The
Chattanooga
Regional
homeless
position,
who
is
represented
here
today,
along
with
the
city's
office
of
homelessness
and
Supportive
Housing
who's.
Also
here
to
talk
to
you
briefly
and
many
of
our
partner
agencies
dropped
everything,
so
they
could
respond
to
this.
L
In
the
moment
they
began
identifying
families
with
children
on
site,
made
arrangements
to
get
people
out
of
the
coal
old
and
a
warm
place,
so
they
could
troubleshoot
and
figure
out.
What's
next,
we
didn't
have
the
resources,
sadly
to
house
everyone,
there
weren't
enough
hotel
rooms
at
the
time,
so
we
did
have
to
focus
on
households
with
children.
This
was
a
complex,
evolving
situation,
with
little
notice
happening
in
real
time
and
redeploying
dollars
that
have
been
budgeted
to
last
the
entire
year
for
many
of
our
partner
agencies.
L
So
I
commend
everybody
who
was
involved
in
that,
but
somehow,
through
the
generosity
of
our
partners,
a
lot
of
sleepless
nights
that
we
did
manage
to
avert
a
full-scale
disaster
in
November.
But,
as
Christmas
approached
many
of
you
will
remember,
you
started
getting
phone
calls
from
us
saying
the
money
is
running
out
and
the
week
before
Christmas
these
kids
are
going
to
be
back
on
the
street,
so
you
stepped
up
to
the
plate,
as
did
the
Hamilton
County
Commission
gave
us
the
resources
and,
most
importantly,
you
gave
us
the
time.
L
The
time
we
needed
for
these
people
to
troubleshoot
for
these
people
to
get
into
permanent
housing
for
us
to
connect
them
with
vouchers,
connect
them
with
jobs
to
get
their
lives
back
on
track.
So
we're
here
today
for
you
with
the
final
report
on
this
tragedy
on
This
Disaster,
how
you
helped
prevent
it
from
becoming
worse
and
so
I'll
introduce
Kenzie
Kelly
with
the
Chattanooga
Regional
Homeless
Coalition
who's,
going
to
really
briefly
run
through
the
efforts
of
your
funding.
M
Good
afternoon
I'm
Mackenzie
Kelly,
the
deputy
director
of
the
Chattanooga
Regional
Homeless
Coalition
and,
as
Ellis
said,
I,
would
like
to
brief
briefly
recap:
the
coalition's
response
to
the
closing
of
the
Budgetel.
So
in
the
morning
the
Budgetel
closed
we
found
ourselves
in
our
community
in
a
state
of
emergency.
There
were
more
than
a
hundred
children
and
numerous
families
and
individuals
who
are
about
to
find
themselves
experiencing
homelessness.
Only
weeks
before
the
holidays.
M
It
was
then
that
we
came
to
you
our
city,
council
and
other
partners,
the
County
Commission
United
Way,
the
state
of
Tennessee,
the
Community
Foundation
and
community
members
to
help
stop
this
humanitarian
crisis
and
our
community
stepped
forward
in
a
big
way.
We
received
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
you,
as
well
as
your
support
and
assistance
in
extending
that
ass
to
our
County
Commission,
who
contributed
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
matching
funds.
Inspiring
many
others
to
step
forward.
We
received
more
than
152
thousand
dollars
in
primarily
crowdsourced
fundings.
M
Additionally,
the
state
of
Tennessee
stepped
forward
with
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
the
United
Way
paid
for
hotel
rooms
for
every
household.
For
two
weeks
at
over
ninety
two
thousand
dollars
and
the
Community
Foundation
supplied
twenty
seven
thousand
dollars.
Many
other
partners
stepped
up
in
other
ways
as
well:
providing
food
toys
for
kids,
Transportation,
clothing
and
other
Essentials
during
the
holidays.
As
you
can
see,
the
money
raised
for
the
Emergency
Hotel
fund
provided
us
the
ability
to
keep
residents
in
a
hotel
room
for
the
time
we
needed
to
get
them
into
permanent
housing.
M
This
money
gave
our
team
and
our
partners
time
to
meet
with
each
impacted,
individual
and
family,
to
identify
capabilities
resources
and
needs
working
closely
with
the
Chattanooga
Housing
Authority.
We
were
able
to
utilize
both
public
housing
and
Section
8,
to
get
folks
housed
quickly
and
permanently.
M
We
also
use
this
time
to
connect
them
with
transportation,
resources,
employment
and
other
resources
in
the
city
to
get
them
to
a
place
of
self-sustainability,
and
the
results
speak
for
themselves
of
the
original
141
households,
including
228
adults
and
126
kids.
The
time
you
gave
allowed
56
households
to
self-resolve,
while
we
were
able
to
place
69
households
into
permanent
housing.
This
includes
115
adults
and
88
children,
who
are
out
of
hotels,
hopefully
forever.
M
There
are
also
an
additional
17
households
who
did
not
engage
in
services,
and
while
we
can't
confirm
that
they
self-resolved,
we
have
no
record
of
them
re-entering
our
system
or
seeking
additional
services,
and
the
successful
response
comes
in
large
part
from
our
Community
Partnerships.
So
I
would
now
like
to
introduce
Casey
Tinker,
the
manager
of
the
office
of
homelessness
and
Supportive
Housing,
to
talk
through
how
we
build
accountability
in
our
system.
N
Hello,
I'm
Casey,
Tinker
I'm,
with
the
office
of
homelessness
and
Supportive
Housing
here
at
the
city,
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
and
ensure
that
all
the
resources
that
we
spent
were
wisely
spent.
Our
team
verified
each
individual
person
that
was
at
the
Budgetel
and
compared
those
to
the
Manifest
to
make
sure
that
they
were
actually
on
the
list
as
a
registered
guest
or
they
were
being
sponsored
by
a
church
or
a
non-profit.
N
You
heard
from
McKenzie
from
the
results
of
the
people
that
were
housed
and
I
can
tell
you
the
first
week
of
May.
Our
team,
here
at
the
city
contacted
every
single
individual
that
we
had
helped
housed
to
confirm
that
97
of
them
were
still
in
housing
and
88
percent
of
those
households
had
a
job
or
some
form
of
government
assistance
that
allows
them
to
be
self-sustaining,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to.
N
L
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Ellis,
thank
you
for
bringing
this
report
to
us
many
times
when
we're
asked
and
and
we
respond,
we
don't
get
a
report
back,
and
this
is
Meaningful
to
me,
especially
to
know
that
that
88
children
have
been
impacted
through
what
we've
done
and
and
putting
the
seed
money
and
knowing
that
other
agencies
and
governments
responded.
I
think
is
encouraging
as
well,
but
I
think
it
was
a
great
partnership
with
everyone
around
us.
So,
but
thank
you
for
bringing
this
back
to
us.
Thank
you.
J
This
is
what
echoed
the
same
sentiments.
Thank
you
for
what
you
guys
do
and
continue
to
do,
and
I
know
folks
in
my
district
very
concerned
about
the
homeless
and
thank
you
for
doing
what
you
do
for
the
Le
and
those
who
were
incredible
that
critical
medical
conditions
too
that's
sometimes
overlooked.
But
thank
you
again.
Thank.
B
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Adam,
I'm,
not
sure
who
is
presenting
at
this
particular
committee,
but
I
do
know
that
we
have
members
in
the
audience
for
the
Public
Safety
Committee,
depending
on
timeline.
I
was
just
trying
to
be
respectful
their
time.
If
we
could
move
that
up.
If
there's
no
objection,
you.
B
C
Thank
you,
councilman
Smith,
for
that
recommendation.
Could
I
have
a
motion
on
the
minutes
for
the
last
meeting.
It's
about
objection.
I'll
stand
this
red.
We
do
have
this
afternoon.
Park
quarterly
report,
as
well
as
our
CPD
crime,
reduction,
update
and
I
will
just
say
briefly.
Council
I
learned
upon
arriving
today
that
Chief
Murphy
will
not
be
present
with
us
today,
which
I
thought
that
she
was
going
to
be
it's
my
understanding
that
the
department
does
have
the
report
in
hand
but
I
as
you
wish.
C
If
y'all
would
like
to
continue
with
the
report
this
afternoon,
without
the
presence
of
Chief
Murphy
will
will
go
with
that.
Okay,
all
right
at
this
time,
I'm
going
to
ask
Marianne
Hensley
if
she
would
come
forward
and
present
our
Park
quarterly
report
for
us
and
can't
believe
you
do
have
that
in
your
packet
this
afternoon,.
O
If
you
have
the
report
in
front
of
you,
I
will
walk
you
through
it
briefly
here.
This
will
cover
January
through
March
of
2023.
During
the
first
quarter
of
2023,
we
have
reviewed
51
cases
involving
69
officers.
33
of
those
were
citizen,
generated,
complaints
and
18
were
internally
chain
of
command
generated
complaints
by
the
department.
O
Through
the
citizen
generated
complaints,
there
were
zero
violations
of
policy
identified
for
any
officer
and
from
those
generated
internally
by
the
department.
We
found
that
17
of
those
18
cases
contained
at
least
one
violation
of
policy
and
then
in
one
case,
generated
internally.
The
chain
of
command
found
a
policy
violation
where
Park
did
not.
O
O
O
O
Okay-
yes,
absolutely
so
that
was
kind
of
a
question
that
I
had
as
many
or
all
of
you
know,
we
did
a
lose
Miss,
Melinda
hickey,
our
hearts
go
out,
obviously
to
her
and
her
family
and
the
board
feels
that
loss.
So
we
were
just
wanting
to
check
on
the
status
of
her
replacement
to
see
if
any
progress
had
been
made.
There.
D
O
O
O
C
I,
don't
have
any
other
lights
at
this
time,
but
while
you
are
here,
I
have
also
asked
our
City
attorney
to
look
into
the
new
legislation
that
was
just
passed
concerning
oversight
boards
and
we
have
submitted
those
to
the
legislature
up
in
Nashville
Mr
attorney.
If
we
got
any
any
word
back
on
the
concerns
that
we
have
that
how
it
would
affect
our
our
oversight
committee.
E
Not
to
this
point
on
here,
we
we
submitted
on
May
the
18th
just
a
request.
The
councilman
Henderson
had
asked
us
to
actually
send
something
to
Senator
Gardenhire
to
try
to
get
an
attorney
general's
interpretation
of
whether
the
legislation
that
was
most
recently
passed
in
a
Senate
Bill
591
that
when
it
goes
into
effect,
I
think
on
July.
The
1st
of
2023
would
be
applicable
to
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
E
There
was
initially
a
lot
of
concern
about
Community
oversight
boards
in
the
initial
legislation
by
a
number
of
the
cities
in
Tennessee
and
the
I
guess.
Eventual
signing
of
the
document
says
that,
as
of
I
guess
any
existing
law,
ordinance
or
resolution
or
regulation
concerning
a
police,
advisory
and
Review
Committee
as
of
January
20
January,
1st
2023,
which
does
not
conform
with
the
requirements
of
this
section,
has
to
comply
within
120
days
of
July,
1st
or
else
it'll
be
terminated.
E
So
because
of
that,
we're
trying
to
at
least
make
sure
what
portions
of
our
existing
ordinance
are
in
compliance
with
the
law
and
what
or
not
I've
sent
a
letter
requesting
information
from
them
regarding
the
way
that
our
board
is
set
up
at
this
point
in
time,
which
has
nine
members
as
opposed
to
a
seven
member
board
under
the
state
statute
statute.
Here
right
now,
and
then
there
are
requirements
for
an
executive
director
which
is
a
budgetary
position
which
the
city
does
not
currently
have,
which
is
going
to
have
to
be
discussed
during
budget
season.
E
If
that
occurs,
all
of
these
items
have
to
be
in
effect
on
or
before,
October
the
29th
of
2023.
So
we're
trying
to
get
some
sort
of
interpretation
from
the
attorney
general
at
this
Point,
whether
it
applies
to
the
Chattanooga
ordinance
or
not,
and
we
have
not
received
a
response
after
my
female
May,
the
18th
other
than
to
get
the
new
law
that
was
signed
by
the
governor
I,
think
on
the
24th.
O
E
O
E
C
G
C
I
P
Thank
you
all
right,
good
afternoon,
Council
I'm,
obviously
not
Chief
Murphy,
but
we've
got
a
team
of
folks
here
who
are
going
to
give
you
kind
of
a
comprehensive
update
on
our
community
violence
reduction
efforts.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
and
speak
to
you
all.
Today.
We
have
a
lot
of
folks
inside
the
Kelly
Administration,
as
well
as
a
lot
of
our
Community
Partners,
who
are
doing
some
really
great
work,
and
so
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
touch
on
a
few
highlights
today.
P
So
this
is
before
I
dive
in
I
just
want
to
refer
back
to
the
road
map
to
ending
gun
violence
in
Chattanooga
that
mayor
Kelly
released
in
July
of
last
year.
This
document
is
a
road
map
and
continues
to
be
the
foundation
for
how
we
are
addressing
this
complex
issue,
and
we
know
that
gun
violence
is
a
Public
Health
crisis
that
threatens
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
city,
and
we
also
know
that
gun
violence
creates
a
ripple
effect
of
trauma
that
does
not
stop
with
just
the
victim.
P
The
consequences
of
gun
violence
leaves
our
neighbors
feeling,
fearful
and
frustrated,
ultimately
leaving
our
children
hurting
and
at
risk
for
further
violent
Behavior.
So
I've
listed
The
Guiding
principles
from
this
document
on
the
slide,
and
these
are
still
the
core
of
how
we
approach
this
work.
So
I
will
not
read
them
all,
but
these
will
be.
You
will
see
these
throughout
the
presentation
today.
P
So
we
have
to
act
now
to
hold
people
accountable,
but
we
also
have
to
work
towards
the
long-term
Solutions
so
that
our
young
people
and
our
community
never
feel
the
need
or
the
desire
to
pick
up
a
gun
in
the
first
place
it
takes
all
of
us,
those
of
us
serving
our
community
Through
government,
Our
Community
Partners,
our
neighbors,
the
police
department
and
the
community
at
large.
It
takes
all
this
working
together
towards
this
common
goal
through
both
prevention
and
intervention
strategies
to
create
safe
neighborhoods
throughout
our
community.
P
So
with
the
initial
road
map
to
end
gone
violence.
Last
year
we
highlighted
several
historic
investments
into
some
of
the
things
that
you
see
on
the
screen
as
a
way
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
young
people
with
opportunities,
because
we
know
that
a
lack
of
opportunity
can
be
associated
with
Rising
gun
violence.
The
council
has
also
played
a
huge
role
by
intentionally
investing
into
opportunities
for
young
people
as
well.
P
P
So
through
this
list
of
recipients,
you
all
have
funded
some
fantastic
projects
that
do
things
like
provide
services
for
the
whole
family,
upgrade
outdoor
spaces,
support
youth,
Athletics,
providing
college
tours
to
Chattanooga
high
schoolers
to
hpcus
expanding
access
to
Early,
Learning
opportunities,
providing
wraparound
Services
young
people
exiting
the
Foster
system,
and
the
list
goes
on
and
I
know.
Many
of
you
still
have
Awards
to
make
as
well.
So
there
will
be
more
where
that
came
from
so
now
that
we
have
briefly
reoriented
ourselves
with
the
roadmap.
P
We
are
incredibly
lucky
to
have
to
be
able
to
work
across
city
government
with
people
who
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution,
no
matter
what
department
that
they
come
from.
So
the
first
highlight
that
we
are
excited
to
share
is
it
is
on
the
summer
camp
time
in
our
community
centers.
As
you
all
know,
you
can
read
all
the
information
for
yourself,
but
I
do
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
highlighted
parts
of
the
slide.
P
Community
Development
has
just
announced
that
they
are
going
to
be
extending
Community
Center
hours
and
we're
really
excited
that
the
centers
will
be
all
open
on
Saturday
starting
Saturday
June
3rd.
So
you
can
obviously
see
on
the
screen
the
centers
that
are
hosting
summer
camps
and
then
centers
that
are
hosting
structured
activities.
The
list
is
there
and
then
I
put
the
link
to
find
out
more
information
about
community
centers,
generally
and
also
summer
camp
on
the
top
of
the
Sun.
P
So
the
next
highlight
the
every
child
initiative.
Last
year
we
began
a
partnership
with
Harvard
Bloomberg
and
a
team
of
city
employees
from
several
different
departments:
mayor's
office,
HR,
Community,
Health,
City,
Planning,
CPD,
Early,
Learning
and
Neighborhood
Services,
the
this
group.
They
were
tasked
with
finding
innovative
solutions
to
the
complex
problem
of
youth
gun
violence.
P
So
looking
at
these
guided
principles,
you
probably
see
some
similar
values
on
the
lists
that
are
in
alignment
with
those
that
are
continuing
to
be
at
the
Forefront
of
the
road
map
to
and
gun
violence.
The
team
engaged
more
than
260
chattanoogans
that
were
that
are
closest
to
the
issue
of
gun
violence.
With
the
mindset
of
not
changing
a
community
with
the
intentions
of
trying
to
understand
how
we
can
best
serve
our
community
and
then
several
of
these
several
themes
emerge
from
these
conversations,
and
you
can
see
those
listed
on
the
screen
as
well.
P
So
the
team
is
now
almost
ready
to
launch
the
first
action
items
from
their
portfolio
of
work,
and
that
is
a
mentor
matchmaking
portal
which
will
launch
in
the
coming
weeks.
So
a
lot
of
the
young
people.
This
group
talked
to
are
commonly
asked
to
step
up
and
fill
in
some
of
the
gaps
that
are
not
being
met
by
the
grown-ups
in
their
lives,
so
watching
siblings,
assisting
with
bills
and
rent
feeding
themselves,
and
many
of
these
young
people
were
not
really
aware
of
what
resources
that
were
actually
that
are
actually
available
to
them.
P
We
know
that
mentorship
is
one
of
the
most
effective
strategies
for
reducing
violence,
because
it
increases
the
factors
that
protect
against
it,
such
as
staying
in
school,
demonstrating
pro-social
behaviors,
but
we
know
that
mentors
can
provide
young
people
with
the
confidence
access
to
resources
and
ongoing
support
that
they
need.
So
this
new
mentorship
portal
will
essentially
provide
central
location
for
anyone
looking
to
become
a
mentor
to
young
people
and
mentors
will
be
able
to
sign
up,
provide
information
about
themselves
and
then
be
connected
with
an
organization
and
then
be
matched
with
a
mentee.
P
So
throughout
the
implementation
of
this
portal,
we
hope
to
be
able
to
see
more
young
people
signing
up
for
mentors,
of
course,
and
an
increase
of
the
length
of
time
that
a
mentor
and
mentee
have
a
relationship
and
then,
of
course,
an
increase
in
quality
mentors
who
are
investing
in
our
young
people.
The
efforts
will
continue
to
be
data
driven,
but
we
are
thrilled
about
the
opportunity
to
help
create
meaningful
connections
that
will
lead
our
young
people
towards
a
more
positive
and
sustainable
behaviors
and
then
also
opportunities.
P
We'll
have
more
information
on
this
coming
soon.
But
the
team
is
continuing
to
work
on
the
other
action
items
in
the
every
child
initiative
portfolio,
and
we
will
keep
you
all
up
to
date
on
that
as
well
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Chris.
I
want
to,
lastly
highlight
a
project
that
we
are
working
on
with
the
children's
cabinet.
I.
Think
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
this
group,
but
for
those
of
you
who
are
not,
you
can
see
the
information
on
the
slide.
P
So
the
goal
is
to
use
data
and
cross-sector
Partnerships
to
identify
the
root
cause
issues
for
gun
violence,
but
also
invest
in
these
neighborhoods
by
addressing
the
programming
and
resource
gaps
that
are
resulting
in
unmet
needs
from
our
young
people
and
their
families.
Chris
and
his
team
are
also
a
part
of
this
work
and
have
been
instrumental
along
with
our
partners.
At
the
county
and
the
school
system-
and
they
have
all
working
been
working
together
to
align
and
coordinate
activities
and
resources
with
so
many
partners.
I
Q
Good
evening
to
the
council
good
evening
again,
my
name
is
Chris
Sands
out
of
the
office
of
Community
Health,
focusing
on
community
safety
and
gun
violence
prevention.
With
that
being
said,
I
want
to
talk
about
a
few
strategies
that
we're
in
the
process
of
working
on
using
crime
data,
to
determine
where
violent
crimes
and
incidents
are
taking
place
in
occurring.
Q
We
have
saturated
these
communities
and
asked
particular
questions,
and
the
two
things
that
we
have
come
up
with
is
prevention,
as
well
as
intervention
and
strategies
strategies
such
as
detecting
and
interpreting
conflicts,
identifying
and
treating
high-risk,
individual
individuals
changing
social
norms,
filling
in
the
gaps
where
resources
for
youth
are
lacking.
Our
mission
is
to
create
a
practical
approach
that
recognizes
and
addresses
the
factors
that
lead
to
gun
violence.
Q
Some
of
our
Focus
areas
for
this
summer
is
number
one.
The
Avondale
Bush
town
area,
and
the
reason
that
is,
is
because
of
the
partnership
that
Brook
just
spoke
of
with
chat
2.0
as
well
as
Hamilton
County
eye
office,
and
we
want
to
ensure
that
we
do
our
due
diligence
to
impact
the
lives,
as
well
as
the
families
of
the
people.
In
Avondale
and
bushtown
area,
the
second
one
is
East
Lake.
The
third
is
the
west
side
and
last
but
not
least,
South
Chattanooga.
Q
So
here
are
some
of
our
prevention
strategies.
We
want
to
implement
programming
in
conjunction
with
City
County
and
Community
Partners.
With
that
being
said,
we
want
to
work
collaboratively
to
impact
lives
like
never
before.
We
want
to
see
alignment
across
the
county
in
the
city
and
with
non-profits
and
other
organizations
to
ensure
that
we
see
a
robust
opportunity
to
impact
lives.
We're
also
partnering
with
faith
leaders
to
get
them
involved.
Q
A
lot
have
spoken
out
and
said:
hey
we
want
to
get
involved
in
the
work
we
want
to
ensure
that
we
can
do
our
due
diligence
to
assist
as
much
as
possible,
also
non-profits
as
well
as
businesses.
We
will
have
consistent
and
intentional
programming
to
ensure
that
there
are
activities
and
opportunities
for
young
people
to
get
involved
in
the
evening
hours
as
well
as
weekends
and
during
school
breaks.
Q
That
said,
hey
I
can
take
a
few
kids
and
put
them
under
my
wing
and
to
ensure
that
these
young
people
have
the
resources
that
they
need
not
just
to
help
themselves
but
to
help
their
families
as
well.
Also,
we
understand
that
it's
not
just
about
the
youth,
but
it's
also
about
the
family
as
well.
With
that
being
said,
we
have
a
list
of
family
empowerment
sessions
that
will
take
place
and
we
have
different
partners
that
are
coming
in
to
assist
with
this
particular
mindset
as
well,
and
not
only
that.
Q
R
R
Good
evening,
Council
good
evening,
thanks
for
having
me
so
as
Chris
mentioned,
with
this
strategy,
we're
looking
at
prevention
and
intervention
and
there's
been
prevention
strategies
for
a
number
of
years,
but
we
wanted
to
really
boost
up
the
intervention
work,
so
we're
working
in
Partnership
to
train
violence
Interrupters.
So
these
are
individuals.
Many
of
them
have
lived
experience.
Many
of
them
are
returning
home
or
in
the
streets
at
some
point
turned
their
lives
around.
R
This
is
something
that
we
guarantee
they'll
serve
as
mediators
to
help
stop
shootings
they'll
serve
as
credible
Messengers
who
are
trusted
by
high-risk
individuals.
So
they
have
these
relationships,
so
they
can
help
change
their
trajectories.
We
work
as
a
street
team
canvassing
the
areas
that
are
of
concern,
so
the
four
Community
areas
that
Chris
mentioned.
We
will
Target
those
areas,
also
we're
going
to
be
doing
case
managers
and
victim
services
to
help
support
this
work
as
well.
R
Our
plan
is
to
kick
off
a
pilot
coming
up
really
soon
for
this
summer,
so
we're
working
with
HR
now
to
get
folks
identified
and
to
get
this
up
and
running.
So
we
will
have
the
link.
Is
there
that
we
will
put
out
in
the
public
where
folks
can
apply
for
these
positions,
additional
components
that
we
want
to
emphasize?
We
want
to
put
together
a
public
education
campaign
that
will
support
the
roadmap,
so
this
is
not
an
additional
campaign,
but
just
to
highlight
we
want
to
highlight
a
peace
streak.
R
So
this
is
a
streak
where
days
that
we've
gone
with
no
homicides
oftentimes.
You
know
we
do
have
streaks,
but
people
don't
know
about
it.
We
want
people
to
know
that
there's
a
streak
and
we
want
them
to
help
us
build
on
that
streak.
So
we'll
publicize
this
through
Billboards
through
Geo
texting
that
people
will
get
this
information
and
they
know
that
we've
gone
150
days
without
a
homicide,
and
we
want
to
build
on
that.
We
also
are
going
to
focus
on
Hospital
violence
intervention.
R
So
this
is
another
entry
point
to
get
to
the
population:
that's
the
most
violent.
Would
they
go
to
the
hospital
and
they're
in
the
emergency
room?
We
want
to
make
contact
right
then,
and
they
leave
with
contact
they
leave
with
somebody.
That's
going
to
be
working
with
them
to
help
them
stay
on
a
positive
path.
This
is
a
time
that
people
are
vulnerable
and
they
want
to
make
a
change,
but
we
don't
get
them
at
this
time.
It's
called
a
golden
hour.
R
They
Resort
back
to
what
they've
been
doing
before
I
want
to
emphasize
the
importance
of
working
with
families,
and
this
was
something
that
was
highlighted
in
a
few
slides
before,
because
two
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
have
to
focus
on
when
we're
talking
about
high-risk
individuals
are
there
social
networks
and
their
family
networks?
These
are
the
two
main
influencers
of
these
individuals,
so
we
can't
just
work
with
one
individual
and
not
think
about
okay.
R
What's
their
ecosystem
like
what
what's
the
home
life
that
they
live
in,
so
we
have
to
coordinate
services
that
are
going
to
address
their
social
networks
or
get
their
friends
and
their
family
networks.
They
may
have
parents
or
grandparents
that
are
involved
in
the
life
we
have
to
work
with
them
as
well.
R
Another
Point
here
is
Street
clinicians,
and
this
is
really
allowing
for
therapists
to
be
on
the
streets
with
our
street
workers,
because
you
know
we
have
individuals
who
will
never
go
into
an
office
when
they're
dealing
with
PTSD
and
mental
health
challenges.
We
want
to
make
it
easier
for
them.
We
want
to
meet
them
where
they
are.
R
We
say
it
all
the
time,
but
this
is
really
that
where
they
are
whether
it's
at
the
park
at
McDonald's,
whatever
it
takes
for
them
to
feel
comfortable
to
talk
about
some
of
the
things
that
they're
dealing
with
and
help
them
through
that
trauma.
And
finally,
we
want
to
continue
to
pursue
funds.
You
know,
so
we
have
a
grant.
That's
due
on
Thursday,
which
you
all
signed
off
on
to
see
the
cvipi
grant
out
of
the
Department
of
Justice.
R
This
would
be
a
three-year
Grant
and
for
granted
that
would
support
this
work,
but
also
looking
at
additional
dollars
that
can
help
to
sustain
this.
With
this
work,
we
can't
have
the
starts
and
stops.
We
need
consistency,
so
we
need
to
get
funding.
We
need
to
look
at
this
as
a
10
to
20
year
approach.
It
can't
be
just
one
to
two
year
funding
three-year
funding,
but
if
we're
really
going
to
change
the
circumstance,
it
has
to
be
something
that's
sustained.
Q
Thank
you
so
much
also,
we
have
a
great
partnership
with
CPD
to
educate,
targeted
communities
about
choices.
Some
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
have
conversations
and
what
we
have
already
started,
is
the
juvenile
call
lands
and
just
having
young
people
come
and
just
understand
the
importance
of
why
this
is
important,
what
we're
doing
as
a
city
as
a
community
to
ensure
that
we
have
what
it
is
that
we
need
to
change
their
lives
and
why
some
of
the
things
that
they're
doing
isn't
the
best
decisions
for
them?
Q
Also,
we
have
had
the
opportunity
to
sit
down
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
partnership
with
Hamilton
County
district
attorney.
We
spoke
with
Miss
wamp
and
everyone
to
see
how
we
can
get
some
things
expunged
off
certain
records
if
we
can
and
to
ensure
that
we
can
have
individuals
Successful
by
the
end
of
the
summer.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
that
also
we're
hosting
a
new
life
career,
fair
in
career
prep.
Q
This
will
take
place
at
the
Family
Justice
Center
at
6
PM,
so
that
you
can
see
the
effects
of
why
this
program
is
so
important.
You
will
hear
from
those
who
have
come
from
the
streets.
You
will
hear
from
those
who
have
been
incarcerated
that
are
now
entrepreneurs
and
they
are
working
in
their
craft,
not
just
to
hire
people
who
come
from
their
background,
but
to
ensure
that
they
are
productive
citizens
in
society.
So
we're
going
to
have
that
at
the
Family
Justice,
Center
and
I
would
love
for
you
all
to
come
out
to
see.
Q
Q
Last
but
not
least,
we
have
the
witness
support
fund
to
Aid
Witnesses
and
violent
crimes
to
put
them
in
different
places
so
that
they
will
be
ready
to
testify
whatever
is
needed
to
ensure
that
we
have
them
safe.
So
this
is
just
a
small
thing
that
we
have
been
working
on
and
last
but
not
least,
we
have
the
big
small
stuff
fund
as
a
non-traditional
resource
to
Aid
clients
in
this
particular
area,
all
right.
Q
So
what
we
have
been
able
to
do
a
part
of
our
strategy
is
increase
the
number
of
Youth
Intervention
Specialists
from
two
to
Elise
Ford.
That's
our
goal
to
impact
this
particular
year
and
as
well
as
that,
we
want
to
have
our
robust
mentorship
with
the
at-risk
youth
and
the
reason
we're
doing
this
is
to
ensure
that
we
can
get
them.
This
Summer
start
building
those
relationships
and
then
going
to
the
schools
with
these
particular
Young
People,
based
on
the
data.
Q
Also
we're
going
to
increase
the
number
of
adult
intervention
Specialists
to
at
least
two
to
have
people
walk
alongside
them
as
well,
so
that
we
can
see
a
tremendous
impact
in
a
plan
for
them
as
well
So
the
plan
and
participation
of
boys,
parents,
Girls,
Leadership
Summit.
That's
also
important
to
let
everyone
know
that
you
can
be
empowered
and
equipped
to
change
your
life
for
the
rest
of
your
life,
all
right.
So
here's
just
a
few
of
the
Partnerships
that
we
have
for
csgvp
Partnerships.
Q
Of
course
the
Harvard
Bloomberg
and
we've
been
working
on
that
for
over
a
year
now.
So,
of
course,
the
mentorship
portal
will
be
up
in
the
next
week
and
a
half
we're
considering
doing
a
press
release
soon
on
that,
and
we
just
want
to
talk
about
how
Community,
as
well
as
other
non-profit
organizations
and
anyone
who
wants
to
Mentor
can
be
a
part
of
this
particular
aspect.
Also
we're
grateful
grateful
grateful
for
the
partnership
with
Chattanooga
police
department.
Q
I
want
to
say
this
publicly
that
we
have
had
public
events
that
they
have
been
coming
out
and
supporting
and
building
relationships
and
Building
Bridges
a
lot
of
times.
There
is
a
negative
stigma
on
police,
but
we
don't
highlight
and
recognize
enough
when
they
do
show
up
in
positive
ways
and
start
impacting
lives
and
building
those
relationships
with
young
people.
Channel
number
2.0
has
been
very
instrumental
as
we
are
getting
prepared
for
this
summer.
In
the
Avondale
bushtown
area,
there
have
been
great
Partners
as
well.
Q
Children's
cabinet
has
been
amazing,
Hamilton
County
Schools
have
opened
up
their
doors
to
partner
with
us,
and
we've
been
able
to
do
certain
things
and
they
said
hey
we're
able
to
we're
willing
to
do
whatever.
It
is.
That's
needed
to
impact
young
people
like
never
before
the
re-entry
committee
have
been
amazing,
Southeast
Tennessee,
commissioned
on
Children
and
Youth
amazing,
and
just
different
people
who
are
ready
to
do
scholarships.
The
link
scholarship
committee,
we're
grateful
for
them
as
well.
S
All
right
good
afternoon,
folks,
Chief
Murphy
today
is
going
to
be
myself
and
my
partner
in
fighting
crime,
Chief
Summers
here
before
I
before
I
start
I'd
like
to
piggyback
on
something
that
Chris
just
mentioned.
You
know
if
you
look
through
the
programs
and
the
slides
that
you
guys
have
seen
for
the
last
15
minutes
or
so
you'll
notice
that
the
Chattanooga
police
department
are
interwoven
in
all
those
programs.
If
you
look
down
at
the
list
of
participants,
you'll
see
that
chattan
police
officers
are
volunteering
as
mentors
Like,
Chief
I'm.
S
S
S
S
Pleasant
and
enjoyable
again,
this
unit
will
be
staffed
by
12
to
18
officers
and
three
sergeants
they're,
going
to
be
backed
up
by
a
Watch
Commander.
A
Watch
Commander
is
one
of
our
lieutenants,
whose
primary
goal
is
the
quarterback,
the
activity
that
go
on
between,
let's
say,
6
p.m
and
4
in
the
morning.
S
One
thing:
that's
really
really
unique
and
good
about
net
that
we've
We've
not
always
had
in
our
in
our
tool
belt
they're
able
to
split
into
two
and
three
units
so
like
I
mentioned
before
there
are
three
sergeants
in
between
12
to
18
officers
working
that
unit.
So
if
there's
an
event
down
to
Station
Street,
you
can
split
a
portion
of
net
down
there
and
have
a
sergeant
over
watching.
T
Hi
good
afternoon
my
name
is
Harry
Summers.
Excuse
me
and
I'm.
The
executive,
Chief
and
I
have
the
investigative
side
of
the
house,
also
technology
in
the
Special
Operations,
and
a
couple
of
other
things
inside
there
and
I
know
I've
met
many
of
you,
if
not
all
of
you,
but
I've
only
been
here
about
nine
months,
but
I've
definitely
have
seen
everybody
here.
T
T
It's
really
focusing
on
your
worst
violent
criminals
that
you
have
that
you
can
find
in
your
community
and
we're
working
and
focusing
your
your
efforts,
your
investigative
efforts,
your
other
police
efforts
on
those
main
targets-
it's
not
new,
but
there
are
new
things
that
come
with
the
new
ideas
that
come
around
it
and
we
are
looking
to
do
the
well
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
program.
We
call
it
the
VIP
program.
It
was
really
modeled
really
out
of
Tampa,
not
most
recently
anyway.
T
Maybe
people
have
been
around
as
long
as
may
have
seen.
Programs
like
this
in
the
past,
but
but
this
has
some
new
twists
to
it.
It's
an
objective
way
of
looking
at
things.
It's
completely
data
driven
in
how
we
Define
how
we
Define,
who
are
those
folks
that
we
need
to
put
our.
We
will
call
our
work
that
matters
most
our
work,
that
we
need
to
be
focusing
most
on
from
an
investigative
perspective.
T
So
we
spent
some
time
studying
this
and
and
figuring
out
how
we
were
going
to
get
there
and
get
there
and
the
most
objective
scientific
data-driven
way.
So
we
petitioned
you
all.
We
got
a
few
extra
Intel
and
less
out
of
this
past
budget
and
we
are
beginning
to
get
them
put
them
to
work
now,
and
their
job
is
going
to
be
using
an
analytical,
an
analysis
of
the
kind
of
problems
that
we're
looking
at
to
Define.
T
This
group
and
they're
going
to
help
us
to
pull
and
cull
those
names
of
those
individuals
and
help
us
create
a
list
that
we're
hoping
that
will
be
a
relatively
short
list,
but
we'll
in
end
up
being
a
group
of
people
that
commit
more
than
50
in
and
in
the
collective
more
than
50
percent
of
the
violent
crime
that
occurs
in
Chattanooga.
It's
not
shocking.
Not
anybody
not
aware
unaware
that
recidivists
people
who
commit
multiple
crimes
commit
most
of
our
crimes.
T
A
very
small
percentage
of
our
community
commits
the
majority
of
our
crime,
the
worst
part
of
our
crime.
We
don't
think
that
it's
the.
We
don't
think
after
our
review,
that
it
is
the
best
idea
to
have
a
very
wide
net
and
going
out
there
and
just
collecting
all
the
fish
we
can
capture
and
some
of
them
are
too
small.
Not
yet
not
right,
not
worth
necessarily
all
of
our
time
to
be
focused
in
on
them,
so
we're
narrowing
that
net
quite
a
bit.
T
However,
we,
it
is
our
belief
and
I
think
from
not
only
from
previous
experiences
but
other
people's
previous
experiences
that
that
our
effect
can
be
necessary
can
be
significantly
greater
than
than
what
it
is.
If
we
don't
do
it
in
this
more
strategic,
more
objective,
more
data-driven
way,
so
we
have
begun
that
and
that
process
is
underway.
T
I
think
we
will
have
a
list
and
we'll
do
some
verifications
on
it
to
make
sure
we're
we're,
hitting
it
right
and
we're
and
before
we
before
we
get
started,
but
then
we
will
get
focused
this
summer
and
we
will
get
focused
on
those
who
are
committing
the
most
of
crime,
the
most
violent
crime
in
this
in
this
community.
One
of
the
things
that
we
know
that
we
know
that
is
true.
We
don't
we
don't
work
in
silos
in
the
investigative
side
of
the
house,
meaning
we
don't
meaning.
T
We
share
information
and
we
work
pretty
well
with
one
another,
but
we
do
have
natural
silos
that
exists.
I
call
them
the
verticals,
the
homicides,
the
robberies,
the
burglaries,
all
the
different
groups
working
groups,
but
specifically
looking
at
certain
crimes,
we'll
be
sharing
data,
much
better,
we'll
be
connecting
dots
between
crimes
that
are
committed
in
one
group
and
not
in
another.
Sometimes
we
have
juveniles
or
stealing
cars.
T
So
it's
essentially
what
it
says
up
there,
but
we'll
be
using
data
to
drive
intelligence
and
intelligence
to
drive
our
investigations
and
that's
really
what
it
comes
down
to
go
backwards.
So
there's
just
two
subcategories
that
I
can
talk
about
quickly.
Here.
One
is
kind
of
a
robbery
initiative
that
we'll
see
this
summer
coming
out.
T
It's
not
super
extensive,
but
it
kind
of
it
fits
underneath
this.
Well,
it's
a
subcategory
last
summer
and
I
get
here
at
the
end
of
summer
and
viewing
it
into
the
fall.
We
notice
that
and,
and
we've
seen
it's
not
even
hard,
you're
gonna
need
the
data.
You
can
just
look
at
it.
We
have
a
an
inordinate
and
disproportionate
number
of
robberies
that
occur
in
the
Hispanic
Community.
T
My
belief
to
carry
a
lot
of
cash.
They
don't
like
reporting
crimes
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
and
so
that
puts
them
in
in
a
an
easy
victim
circumstance.
So
we
want
to
focus
on
that
just
a
little
bit,
so
we're
taking
simple
things:
we're
taking
our
for
the
summer,
our
robbery
team,
our
robbery,
investigative
team
anyway,
who
normally
will
work
a
day
shift
like
most
investigators.
Do
we'll
be
spreading
them
out
for
the
24
7.
so
that
we're
there
we're
there
quicker
we're
there
from
an
investigator
capacity?
T
Neighborhood
Patrol
is
always
on
it
and
they
do
great
work
and
and
if
it
weren't
for
their
great
work,
he
would
not
do
nearly
as
good
a
work
on
the
investigative
side,
but
it
is
going.
It
is
going
to
help
there's
another
piece
I'm
going
to
talk
about
here
in
a
minute
that
they'll
be
working
in
conjunction
with
with
a
violence
reduction
team
that
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
use
in
conjunction
with
the
FBI.
But
but
this
is
one
of
the
things
we
this
there's
another
brand
we're
working
on
too.
T
That
will
help
us
there's
some
some
relationship
issues
that
we
need
to
deal
with
here.
I
know
that
that
I've
been
involved
with
Dr
Burrs
on
some
things
and
and
we
and
where
we'd
hoped
to
do
some
activities
with
the
Hispanic
Community.
But
we
were
unable
to
really
get
it
done
because
of
the
the
feel
of
what
the
police
department
might
might
be
might
be.
T
Like
might
might
it's
it's
uncomfortable,
so
we're
gonna
we're
gonna,
hopefully
we're
gonna
in
this
next
Grant
we're
gonna
get
we're
going
to
do
some
things
with
some
Partners
so
that
we
can.
We
can
work
to
make
that
a
little
bit
better,
and,
lastly,
is
this
violent
reduction,
violence
reduction
team.
This
is
something
we're
doing
in
coordination,
principally
with
the
FBI,
but
really
with
all
our
federal
partners
for
sure,
as
well
as
our
state
and
local
police
partners
and
and
maybe
even
many
other
stakeholders
that
are
out
there.
T
Those
will
be
working
kind
of
in
in
underneath
that
VIP
kind
of
group
of
people,
those
major
players
and
we'll
be
using
some
of
the
data
that
comes
from
there.
But
this
will
be
out
there
really
Hands-On
serving
warrants
arresting
folks
that
are
in
that
are
that
are
involved
with
those
people
and
doing
some
Hands-On
Street
things
that
will
over
that
will
be
planned,
they're
not
going
to
be
historically,
we've
done
things
like
like
what
they
call
street
sweeping
and
stuff
like
that.
These
are
not.
T
These
would
be
very
targeted,
very
micro,
pointed
at
certain
groups.
So
we
think
that
by
doing
that,
and
using
these
continuous
operations
throughout
the
summer
in
a
planned
way
collaboratively
with
our
state
local
partners
that
we
will
have
a
net
effect
that
will
be
significant
over
the
end
of
the
summer
and
the
FBI
has
including
most
of
our
Overtime
Bill
during
that
period.
So.
S
Don't
worry
there,
we
go
good
deal
all
right,
so
Harry
mentioned
the
CAU.
Again
we
like
those
acronyms,
that's
the
crime
analysis
unit,
we're
going
to
use
those
functional
data
that
they
put
together
to
identify
what
times
a
day
and
what
Manpower
staffing
is
appropriate
for
what
shifts
so
100
years
ago,
some
Chief
somewhere
decided
that,
for
instance,
in
Baker
that
there
needs
to
be
nine
officers
on
third
shift.
Nine
officers.
S
Shift
and
nine
offices
on
day
shift
that
made
everybody
feel
warm
and
fuzzy
because
everybody
was
like
well,
it's
Equitable.
Everybody
felt
fair
about
that.
That's
not
how
crime
happens
right,
there's
not
as
much
crime
on
day
shift
as
there
is
on
third
shift,
and
so
we're
going
to
break
that
mold
and
we've
been
working
towards
that
all
this
year,
and
so
we're
going
to
do
some
reallocating
of
Manpower
and
Staffing
to
have
cops
where
they
need
to
be
when
they
need
to
be
there.
S
You
know
you
don't
need
cops
on
Station
Street
at
two
in
the
afternoon
most
times,
and
so
we're
going
to
use
some
of
that
data
that
crime
analysis
puts
together
to
make
sure
we
have
the
right
cops
the
right
place
at
the
right
time
and
partnering
with
other
agencies.
So
whether
that's
something
like
we
just
had
a
recent
graduation
at
Memorial
Auditorium,
where
Hamilton
County
Sheriff's
offices
were
staffed
with
handling
the
majority
of
it.
S
You
still
had
Chattanooga
police
officers
strategically
placed
around
that
event
to
make
sure
that
folks
were
safe,
going
to
their
cars
from
the
event
and
coming
back
in
return.
So
we're
going
to
work
in
partnership
with
agencies
like
that,
whether
it's
where
they
have
here,
but
it's
Chattanooga,
Housing
Authority,
they're,
a
great
they're,
a
great
tool
to
the
city.
S
So
you
know
I
know
that
seems
like
to
the
average
driver,
like
that's
going
to
be
sort
of
a
thing
that
generates
a
lot
of
citations.
Well,
it's
not.
We
want
folks
to
slow
down
like
everyone
on
the
dice
and
everyone
in
the
crowd.
I,
probably
couldn't
experience.
You've
been
zipping
around
Chattanooga
about
45
miles
an
hour
and
25.
You
see
that
set
of
blue
lights
over
there.
Your
foot
does
a
magical
thing
right.
It
goes
from
that
accelerator
to
the
brake
pedal.
You
want
to
always
get
a
ticket,
but
you
generally
always
slow
down.
S
So
we
want
officers
in
place,
doing
traffic
stops
being
where
the
high
volume
is
on
Davis
in
the
road
or
Lee
Highway
or
23rd
Street.
We
want
Cops
where
we
know
the
the
very
bad
collisions
happen.
So
we
can
prevent
some
of
that
and
having
more
senior
leadership
during
overnight
shifts.
I
just
left
a
meeting,
not
not
an
hour
ago
where
we
were
trying
to
con
reconfigure.
Our
watch
come
in
the
process.
What
we
have
right
now
is
every
Lieutenant
on
the
department
has
an
opportunity
to
work,
Watch
Commander
shifts
well.
S
That
makes
it
again
it
makes
it
seem
all
fair
and
everybody
gets
a
crack
at
it
right,
but
that
doesn't
give
any
specific
Lieutenant
an
opportunity
to
take
ownership
of
what
goes
on
overnight.
The
new
model
we're
putting
in
place
will
give
those
lieutenants
those
select,
lieutenants
opportunities,
the
opportunity
to
take
ownership
and
responsibility
for
the
segments
of
town
that
they're
responsible
for.
S
Coming,
oh
all
right,
and
also
we
recognize
that
there
are
usually
about
eight
weeks
out
of
the
Year,
where
the
most
violent
incidents
tend
to
happen,
and
those
incidents
happen,
of
course,
around
the
things
that
you
guys
would
think
about
the
holidays
right
when
school
lets
out
right
around
Christmas
break
right
around
Thanksgiving
weekend.
So
we're
going
to.
J
S
J
S
So,
yes,
one
of
the
dates
that
you
may
have
noticed
on
the
slide
wasn't
in
the
school
year,
and
so
what
we
do,
the
guys
who
work
in
Patrol.
We
we
place
them
where
bus
lets,
because
it
not
just
happens
at
direct
centers.
It
happens
at
bus,
stops
bus
drop-offs,
rec
centers,
of
course,
at
the
large
Gathering
spots
like
downtown
on
market
right
there
in
front
of
the
mall
at
Hamilton
Place,
so
we're
proactively
Staffing
those
locations
to
make
sure
that
yeah
kids
are
going
to
be
kids
and
the
steps
are
going
to
happen.
S
G
G
You
know
and
I
just
don't
think
that
that's
happening
and
we
should
be
giving
her
100
support
with
her
the
cause
of
action
that
she
made.
She
shouldn't
be
getting
pushed
back
and
the
things
that
are
in
her
decisions.
We
should
be
supporting
her.
So
that's
really
what
I
wanted.
But
since
you
gave
us
a
report,
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
about
it.
S
Well,
councilman,
if
I
just
talked
to
one
second,
before
your
question
and
I,
wouldn't
presume
to
speak
for
chief
Murphy,
because
I'm
clearly
not
Chief
Murphy
rights,
but
I
will
say
that
the
things
that
we
put
in
place
in
this
in
this
presentation
come
directly
from
her
and
I
will
say
that
you
guys
might
remember
in
June
of
last
year.
You
know
as
a
welcoming
gift
to
the
Chief
and
her
new
assignment
as
the
chief
of
police.
We
had
two
mass
shooting
incidents
back
to
back.
S
She
made
sure
that
officers
worked
Around
the
Clock
in
those
areas
where
kids
were
going
to
be
and
where
things
were
happening
and
Tara
credit
those
things
stopped.
We
didn't
have
another
incident
where
seven
people
got
shot
at
once
or
a
huge
party
took
place
when
cops
running
around.
She
Murphy
saw
that
deficit
and
put
things
into
action,
so
I,
don't
think
you're
right,
I,
don't
think
she
gets
the
Kudos
she
deserves
for
those
things,
but
she
definitely
put
some
things
in
place
and.
G
G
But
I
just
want
to
address
a
couple
of
things
that
y'all,
you
know
say
it
a
lot
in
all
your
reports,
but
the
call-ins
I
think
it's
good
to
have
they've
been
kind
of
doing
that
back
with
even
you
know
the
other
thing,
the
violence
reduction
thing
they
was
having
and
what
I've
seen
is
like
it's
a
lot
of
people
that
come
and
I've
been
a
part
of
the
speaking
to
the
people
too.
But
when
I
look
in
the
audience
and
see
the
people,
that's
there
they're,
not
really
the
ones.
G
G
Gonna
do
this,
but
the
ones
that
really
need
to
hear
the
story:
they're,
not
hearing
they're,
not
hearing
it
they're,
not
hearing
the
FED,
say
I'm
gonna,
give
you
20
years
in
prison
and
to
be
honest,
a
lot
of
those
people
they
want
to
be
in
prison.
Why?
Because
their
role
models
are
in
prison,
we're
not
getting
to
the
OG's
who's,
telling
these
kids
or
whoever
young
adults
that
you
need
to
be
the
one
to
go
and
kill
this
person,
because
you're
juvenile
you're
not
going
to
get
time.
G
S
I
think
one
of
the
gaps
that
that
Chris
is
sort
of
field
is
some
of
those
lists.
Some
of
those
past
lists
of
call-ins
participants
that
came
in
to
hear
the
message.
Some
of
those
folks
were
gathered
together
with
anecdotal
evidence
right
I
heard
that
so-and-so
is
the
bad
kids
are
bringing
men
right.
So
what
we're
doing
now
is
repairing
the
efforts
that
Chris
hands
is
putting
together
with
the
crime
analysis
unit,
folks
who,
who
can
pinpoint
to
the
number
which
offenders
in
this
city
are
causing
what
crimes?
S
G
That's
the
issue
and
with
the
family
and
I
think
we
keep
putting
the
lens
on
it.
Well,
this
is
we're
going
to
have
trauma
informed
things.
However,
we
have
Community
trauma
that
we're
not
addressing
which
keep
playing
into
this
cycle
of
violence,
and
we
can
say
that
as
children
all
day
long,
but
for
my
lens
on
my
side
of
the
ridge
is
grown,
people
is
grown,
people
and
I
mean
now
do.
Are
there
kids,
that's
carrying
guns,
like
belts
of
course,
but
there's
and
just
recently
with
the
the
shooters.
That's
been
happening.
G
yeah,
but
we're
not
talking
about
that
and
then
also
I
would
like
to
see
in
the
next
presentation
how
we're
going
to
address
all
communities,
because
these
shootings
that's
been
happening
lately,
they're
not
coming
from
inner
city,
kids,
they
coming
from
rural
areas,
that
we
don't
even
talk
about
they're
coming
from
Pockets
that
we
want
to
try
to
make
to
cover
it
up
and
we
can't
keep
doing
it.
It's
not
just
black
inner
city,
kids
that
are
participating
in
violent
acts,
and
we
got
to
stop
saying
that
we
got
to
address
everybody.
G
S
Yeah,
so
so
the
power
of
social
media
has
made
it
where
a
kid
who's
living
in
the
back
end
of
aperson
can
be
just
as
influenced
by
violent
crime
as
a
kid
that
lives
on
the
street.
I
grew
up
on
on
Cooley,
Street,
right
and
so
you're
right.
Those
incidents
aren't
just
taking
place
with
kids
from
East
Chattanooga
or
from
Highland
Park
or
from
Alton
park.
S
It
happened
from
kids
who
were
from
DPS
Brainerd,
because
the
power
of
social
media
has
made
that
behavior
and
those
sort
of
activities
seem
cool,
seem
acceptable
and
so
you're
right.
We
have
to
reach
directly
to
those
kids
and
not
necessarily
reach
always
to
the
kids.
Who
who
inadility
come
to
mind.
We
need
to
be
way
more,
intentional
and
I.
Think
that's
what
we're
doing
going
forward.
I.
G
Hope
so
I'm
looking
forward
and
I'll
just
share
this
because
a
lot
of
times
our
perception
of
things
could
just
be
geared
because
you
in
a
certain
neighborhood
and
you
can
hear
loud
music,
you
can
see
the
rims
going.
You
can
hear
that
Tupac
plan
nice
beat
and,
in
my
mind,
I'm
like
awesome,
dude,
some
some
black
people,
kids
rolling
up
on
me
in
the
hood,
like
I'm
instantly,
like
wait
a
minute.
Let
me
turn
around
and
see
if
this
somebody
I
know
now,
it's
it's
totally
different.
G
Now
you
see
white
kids
with
their
pants
sagging
they
rolling
around
on
Vogues
22s,
with
the
loud
music
playing
with
the
hats
to
the
back.
It
looks
a
little
different,
but
we
don't
want
to
talk
about
the
changes
that's
being
made,
but
that's
what's
happening
with
our
kids
and
how
everybody
is
playing
a
role
in
it,
because
the
narrative
keep
being
that
it's
only
black
people.
It's
I
have
more
friends
that
went
to
private
schools
and
parents
lived
on
the
mountains
that
are
on
drugs
and
now
homeless.
G
S
G
Well,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
report
Chris.
Thank
you
for
all
that
you
all
your
department
is
doing.
You
know.
Y'all
biggest
fan,
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I'm
really
excited
that
y'all
are
building
relationships
with
the
police
department.
You
know
it
was
a
time.
I
would
be
like
roughly
enough,
but
I
ain't
gonna
tell
you
that
and
then
once
the
once,
the
link
come
out
I'm
happy
to
share
it
with
my
constituents
to
see
anybody
would
be
interested
in
being
a
credible
messenger
again.
Thank
you
good.
C
A
lot
of
Chiefs
in
the
building
today,
you
need
to
be
specific.
The
only
ones
that
counter
the
ones
in
the
uniform,
no
I'm
gonna
say
that.
Could
you
make
sure
that
the
entire
Council
has
the
PowerPoint
from
today,
as
well
as
the
link
for
how
to
become
a
mentor?
Yes,
sir?
How
to
sign
up
for
that?
That
would
be
good
to
get
out
to
our
district
as
well
as
some
up
here.
Maybe
would
like
to
be
part
of
that
as
well.
B
U
U
Good
evening,
everyone
I
think
I
know
all
of
you,
but
for
those
am
I
not
my
name
is
Megan
Jones
and
I'm.
The
president
and
CEO
of
the
Community
Foundation
I'm
joined
today
by
my
colleague,
Woodson
Carpenter,
as
well
as
representatives
from
our
partner
agencies
and
boatner
from
legal
aid,
and
also
Mike
Smith
from
the
Chattanooga
Regional
Housing
Coalition,
as
well
as
Emily
O'donnell,
who
provides
strategic
Consulting
for
the
project.
U
So
let
me
start
by
thanking
each
member
of
council
for
your
investment
and
your
partnership
in
this
program,
as
well
as
the
Kelly
Administration
I,
especially
want
to
thank
councilwoman
Hill
for
inviting
us
to
speak
today.
I
know
she
couldn't
be
here,
but
we
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
come
here
and
thank
you.
As
you
know,
the
eviction
prevention
initiative
was
born
out
of
a
response
to
the
covid-19
pandemic.
U
U
F
U
City
of
Chattanooga
recently
announced
a
nearly
40
percent
decrease
in
homelessness,
which
was
a
significant
step
in
reversing
the
200
percent
increase
in
homelessness.
We
had
seen
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic
and
the
current
economic
conditions
and
I
want
to
commend
all
of
you
for
your
efforts
in
reducing
homelessness
and
improving
housing.
Security
in
our
community
epi's
role
in
the
success
was
simple.
By
helping
people
avoid
eviction,
we
decreased
the
number
of
families
who
may
be
facing
homelessness.
U
U
This
graph
shows
that
we
saw
a
decrease
in
eviction
filings
during
the
pandemic
and
the
year
following,
and
this
was
what
was
intended
from
things
like
interventions
like
the
moratoria
on
evictions
and
also
rent
relief.
However,
in
2022
the
mean
eviction
filings
per
month,
increased
34
percent
over
2021,
and
we
anticipate
to
be
a
pre-pandemic
levels
in
the
county
by
the
end
of
2023..
U
Despite
these
Rising
home
prices,
we
have
not
seen
a
commensurate
rise
in
wages,
particularly
for
our
low-income
families.
These
conditions
put
many
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents
at
risk
of
eviction
and
homelessness.
We
know
that
65
percent
of
Epi
clients
are
severely
housing
cost
burdened.
This
means
that
they're
paying
more
than
50
percent
of
their
income
monthly
for
rent
and
utilities
and
what
is
considered
affordable,
is
30
percent.
U
The
downstream
impacts
of
eviction
are
costly
to
families
to
landlords,
and
our
community
evidence
suggests
that
eviction
is
not
merely
a
symptom
of
poverty,
but
also
a
cause
of
poverty.
People
who
experience
eviction
are
at
greater
risk
of
homelessness,
they're,
more
likely
to
lose
a
job,
suffer
from
depression
and
experience
a
medical
emergency.
In
addition,
once
a
judgment
is
entered
against
them,
it
makes
it
that
much
more
difficult
for
them
to
find
safe
and
affordable
housing
in
the
future.
U
Eviction
is
particularly
harmful
for
children,
whose
lives
are
upended
when
they
lose
their
home
and
whose
education
may
be
interrupted.
If
they're
forced
to
change
schools,
it
can
also
be
costly
for
landlords
who
lose
their
rental
income
and
are
incur
costs
to
release
the
property,
and
when
we
see
multiple
evictions
in
the
same
property,
we
can
see
abandoned
properties
in
dilapidated
structures.
We
can
degrade
a
neighborhood.
U
Thank
you.
Evictions
are
not
impacting
our
community.
Equally.
This
map
was
created
by
a
group
called
January
advisors
as
part
of
a
research
project
between
the
future
charitable
trusts,
the
hamiltonian
courts
and
the
Community
Foundation,
and
it
shows
the
average
case
filings
in
each
district
over
the
period
from
2016
to
2022..
U
On
behalf
of
our
partners,
and
thanks
to
your
investment,
I
am
proud
to
say
that
the
Epi
is
working
since
its
Inception.
The
lawyers
and
social
workers
have
held
over
400
households
avoid
eviction
and
the
downstream
costs
to
families
to
Children
landlords
in
the
community.
In
addition
to
preventing
evictions,
they
have
helped
landlords
secure
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
in
rent
relief
to
help
mitigate
the
impacts
of
the
of
the
pandemic
on
their
households
and
also
help
keep
those
tenants
in
their
homes.
U
These
refs
show
the
impact
of
council
the
access
to
legal
counsel.
The
vast
majority
of
people
who
face
eviction
do
so
without
an
attorney.
However,
data
collected
by
the
eviction
intervention
initiative
indicate
that
legal
representation
has
a
significant
impact
on
the
outcome
of
a
case.
This
is
for
the
period
from
October
21
to
September
22.
U
In
addition
to
legal
representation,
I
also
want
to
point
out
the
impact
of
case
management
and
social
work.
42
households
that
had
case
closes
during
this
cases
that
were
closed
during
this
period
remained
housed
and
that's,
regardless
of
their
eviction
case
status,
so
they
may
have
been
evicted.
Social
worker
workers
were
able
to
ensure
that
they
remained
housed.
U
So
when
we
look
at
this,
we
want
to
understand
the
cost
benefit
from
preventing
eviction
in
terms
of
public
resources
saved,
and
this
might
be
police
medical
intervention.
Also,
educational
supports.
So
with
support
from
the
McClellan
Foundation,
we
have
contracted
with
a
group
called
Stout
analytics.
They
do
this
kind
of
report
all
over
the
country
and
we're
also
partnering
with
Southern
Adventist
University
to
help
us
collect
the
data
that
will
allow
us
to
understand
the
economic
impacts
of
this
program
in
terms
of
cost
savings.
U
U
We
worked
with
the
Legal
Services
Corporation
to
secure
the
case
filing
addresses,
and
we
are
now
mailing
postcards
to
people
who
have
a
case
filed
against
them,
letting
them
know
that
they
can
call
the
eviction
prevention
initiative
and
have
their
case
reviewed
and
you've
got
one
of
those
postcards
included
in
your
packet
as
I'm
sure
you'll
also
aware,
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversations
with
the
Tennessee
Housing
Development
agency.
This
is
the
agency
that
has
administered
the
federal
rent,
Relief
Fund.
U
It
has
been
administered
out
of
Nashville
and
in
December
we
began
conversations
with
them
about
moving
those
funds
to
be
administered
locally.
We,
it
was
our
belief
that
administering
the
funds
locally,
we
could
increase
efficiency
in
how
they
were
distributed,
get
funds
to
landlords
quicker
and
keep
families
in
their
homes.
The
good
news
is
thda
has
awarded
two
local
agencies
to
administer
funds,
one
being
the
Chattanooga
neighborhood
Enterprise
and
the
other,
the
Chattanooga
Regional
Homeless
Coalition
who's
going
to
work
in
direct
partnership
with
the
Epi.
U
U
Finally,
in
terms
of
next
steps,
I
want
to
mention
that
we
understand
that
one
of
the
key
factors
leading
to
both
our
increase
in
homelessness
and
also
evictions
is
a
lack
of
affordable
housing,
and
we
also
recognize
that
there's
a
role
for
philanthropy
to
play
in
addressing
this
Gap.
So
we
are
pleased
to
be
working
with
Nicole
Heyman.
You
achieve
housing
officer
to
understand
the
ways
that
philanthropy
can
work
to
address
this
issue.
I
really
want
to
commend
the
Kelly
Administration
and
all
of
you
for
finding
and
hiring
a
top-notch
chief
housing
officer.
U
She
has
been
a
great
partner
to
us
in
closing.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
support
of
this
program
and
its
efforts
to
reduce
evictions
and
also
homelessness.
If
you
would
like
someone
from
the
Epi
team
to
come
and
talk
in
your
District,
please
let
us
know
we're
happy
to
do
that.
I
know.
We
recently
had
participation
in
something
that
in
councilwoman.lews
District
and
we're
happy
to
to
have
more
of
those
in
your
District.
If
there's
information
sessions
you'd
like
us
to
host.
U
In
addition,
this
is
the
number
provided
there,
and
also
you
have
it
on
your
card.
If
there
are
people
tenants
in
your
districts
that
you
want
to
refer
to
the
program,
that
is
the
number
to
call
and
they
will
have
their
cases
reviewed
by
someone
at
legal
aid
with
that.
I
just
want
to
open
up
to
whatever
questions
and
we'll
call
on
my
my
partners.
G
G
Four
is
increasing
by
the
numbers
two
and
when
we
think
about
like
what's
what's
the
root
cause,
truly
behind
it
or
increase
rents,
raise
Rises
and
rents
or
I
just
don't
know
bad
manager,
no
financing
or
whatever
it
is,
but
it's
just
really
sad
and
I
think
the
level
we
need
all
kind
of
housing.
So
when
we
say
affordable,
housing
and
I'm
just
going
to
speak
about
in
my
district,
it's
a
lot
of
people.
You
know
they
kind
of
missing
what
they
truly
unders.
G
What
that
word
mean
because
I'm
making
only
afford
a
hundred
dollars
but
I'm
trying
to
get
into
somewhere
that's
twelve
hundred
dollars,
so
now
that
I'm
feeling
like
I'm
not
included
in
that
market.
Well,
of
course,
I'm.
Not
my
income
level
is
not
enough
for
me
to
stay
there
and
I.
Think
what's
happening.
G
G
My
my
district,
so
anybody
can
come,
live
in
mines
because
I
think
it's
it's
at
a
nice
rate
and
some
especially
in
Eastdale
that
people
you
know
can't
afford
and
I
know
that
they
do
have
a
lot
of
Section
8
type
housing
in
our
communities,
but
also
we
can't
really
afford
I
understand
the
the
movement
behind
that
we
got
to
have.
You
know
specific
type
housing,
but
we
can't
afford
really
in
789
to
just
have
our
low-income
housing
because
it
brings
the
housing
becomes
subpar.
G
U
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
had
the
honor
to
sit
in
on
one
of
our
I
guess:
first
strategic
sessions
where
I
asked
a
question
about
the
benefit
actually
of
being
enrolled
into
this
program.
I,
don't
know
who
wants
to
kind
of
follow
up
with
this,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
thought
was
so
important
that
I
learned
from
from
you
all
actually
in
that
session
was
the
benefit
to
the
landlord,
because
you
touched
on
that
briefly.
K
But
this
is
kind
of
a
win-win
for
both
sides
when
you're
able
to
engage
at
this
level
and
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
expand
on
that.
But
you
know,
as
we
see
preventative
and
that's
obviously
a
key
factor
in
in
our
homeless
strategy,
but
it's
also
a
win
for
the
landlord,
because
it
is
a
process
that
is
timely.
It's
costly
and
keeping
those
folks
there
is
is
a
lot
of
times
beneficial
to
the
landlord
so
I,
just
that's
one
of
the
I
guess
the
takeaways
from
that
session.
That
I
was
able
to
attend.
U
Appreciate
that
alvarton
and
to
those
you
know
actual
and
then
we'll
see
happening,
is
just
being
able
to
administer
those
federal
funds
to
help
those
landlords
mitigate
their
losses
and
that
allows
people
to
stay
in
their
homes.
But
I
also
think
that
when
both
parties
have
counsel
they're
more
likely
to
come
to
an
agreement
in
a
civil
and
calm
way,
I
think
that
benefits
our
court
systems.
Instills
more
faith
in
our
court
systems
and
you're
also
likely
to
reach
an
agreement.
