Clearly
would
be
an
issue
if
there
is
a
separate
party
going
on
the
the
issue
about
the
denial
of
that
location
would
still
have
to
be
considered,
but
I
have
to
determine
on
our
end
of
it
whether
that
location
is
still
on
appeal
right
now
and
for
the
reasons
this
body
gave
initially
as
to
turn
it
down.
If
that's
been
approved,
then,
and
we're
good
okay,.
G
A
G
A
G
B
A
Okay,
we're
good,
okay,
all
right,
any
other
questions
about
future
considerations.
Okay,
all
right,
departmental
reports.
We
don't
have
any
departmental
reports,
and
today
we
have
two
committees:
we
have
parks
and
Public
Works
committee
and
a
budget
and
finance
committee
meeting.
Also
we
do
have
a
attorney-client
meeting
following
those
committees,
any
other
comments
or
questions
all
right.
That's
it
at
the
Giants
agenda
session
and
we'll
turn
it
over
to
parks
and
Public
Works.
C
D
G
J
J
Thank
you,
Mr
Henderson,
for
the
question.
The
the
answer
is
no.
It
is
not
that
prescriptive
in
terms
of
you
will
do
this
many
or
Thou
shalt
not
do
any
more.
If
the
opportunity
avails
itself,
we
would
Advance
it
further
the
numbers
of
new
parks,
the
numbers
of
new
acreages,
are
almost
a
minimum
of
what
it
would
take.
If
you
know
the
whole
plan,
because
that
moves
us
to
55
of
our
community
with
what
we
want
of
closed
home
parks
any
opportunity
to
advance.
That
would,
of
course,
come
to
the
council
for
your
consideration.
G
J
We've
got
a
list
that
don't
hold
me
to
this
right
in
front
of
me:
I
believe
49
sites
that
we've
had
repair
schedule
set
for
those
range
from
replace
in
some
sites.
Let
me
give
you
an
easy
one
in
Coolidge,
just
hypothetically,
it
could
be
replace
the
electrical
work.
Underneath
of
that
that
Sprayground
that's
been
a
little
bit
of
an
issue
lately
at
Carver.
It
could
be
a
full
redo
of
the
parks.
We
have
those
prescriptions
listed
for
each
one
of
our
existing
Parks
okay
and
was.
G
You,
okay
and
I
guess
the
other
thing
I
was
concerned
about
is
is
trying
to
get
into
the
21st
century
and
being
competitive
in
putting
turf
fields
down
at
our
athletic
facilities,
particularly
creating
multi-use
turf
fields.
Yeah
I
didn't
see
a
specific
plan
for
that.
It
just
seemed
like
it
addressed
it.
J
It's
a
more
detailed
look
than
that
and
and
I
I
can
nerd
out
with
you
to
probably
just
drive
you
nuts,
but
what
we're
interested
in
is
the
playable
surface
days
per
year.
If
you
have
a
good,
you
know
Zoysia
Bermuda
type
surface
you
get
so
many
days
out
of
it.
When
we
move
to
our
artificial
surface,
you
get
more
days
out
of
it.
So
if
we
don't
have
acreage
to
add
natural
surface
turfs,
that's
when
you
want
to
start
to
look
at
your
artificial
surfaces,
because
that
explains
expands
your
playability.
So.
J
H
I
H
I
see
no
hands.
That
concludes
parks
and
public
works.
I
want
to
public
thank
Ryan
for
all
the
work,
all
the
service
he
did
in
the
interim
and
Ross
we're
looking
for
big
things
from
you,
Scott
Martin.
Thank
you
for
all.
You
do
appreciate
it.
Next,
we'll
have
the
budget
finance
committee,
Carol,
Brooks,
hey.
D
Keep
smiling
called
order,
Budget
Finance
committee
meeting
approval
of
the
minutes.
Please
any
opposed
okay,
so
this
you
all
have
in
your
packet
the
questions
that
that
we
asked
during
the
budget
education
sessions
and
and
councilman
Henderson
I.
Believe
it
was
you
that
said
you
know.
Let's
do
this
in
a
regular
agenda
session.
We
don't
need
to
have
another
education
session,
and
so
this
is
the
response
from
Administration.
D
G
I
believe
I'm,
one
of
go
for
it,
so
I
think
I.
Think
the
question
was
what
what
can
the
funds
be
used
for?
I
mean
what
what
this
question
says.
Basically
and
I
think
we
passed
a
resolution
when
Mr
Goldberg
was
here
that
loosened
I
guess
at
least
what
the
city
spent
that
funding
for
it
typically
had
always
been
used
to
pay
the
bond
for
the
riverfront,
plus
any
repairs
that
was
needed
on
the
riverfront,
but
I
think
we
loosened
those
guidelines
a
little
bit.
G
K
The
second
bullet
on
your
on
your
response,
says
that
the
legislation
was
changed
to
be
tourist
promotion
or
developed
development
within
the
city,
and
it's
a
pretty
broad
use,
I
actually
copied
the
TCA
section,
and
it
says
it
can
be
used
for
that.
Tourism
means
attracting
non-residents
to
visit
a
particular
municipality
and
encouraging
those
non-residents
to
spend
money
in
the
municipality
which
includes
travel
related
to
both
Leisure
and
business
activities.
Tourism
development
means
the
acquisition
and
construction
of
in
financing
and
retirement
of
debt
for
and
Facilities
related
to
tourism.
G
D
D
D
D
K
F
F
F
F
F
L
K
D
D
K
D
D
B
D
B
D
D
M
M
He
said
at
this
Podium
and
we
can
pull
up
the
records
is
that
it
was
only
going
to
be
used
for
like
temporary
work
for
like
summer
and
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
it
wasn't
going
to
be,
for
you
know,
garbage
and
I
T,
all
the
other
positions
that
have
been
added
on.
It
was
just
for
that
little
small
portion
of
it,
but
it's
still
been
extended,
and
my
other
concerns
is
that.
M
Diligence
which
I
just
like
for
it
to
be
reevaluated
and
and
see,
I
mean
yeah.
We
can
say
well
at
least
the
people
got
a
job
but
yeah
working
and
at
the
expense
of
temp
that
they
can
be.
Let
go
at
any
time
and
then
the
insurance
benefits
like
it's
just
so
much
more
and
we're
paying
a
million
or
so
dollars
for
this
contract.
When
that's
a
million
dollars
that
could
be
going
into
impoverished
communities
or
to
our
recreation
centers,
they
could
be
going
to
roof
repair,
it
could
be.
N
Yeah,
so
it's
your
point,
councilwoman,
it
looks
like
this
contract
is
a
three-year
contract,
with
an
option
to
renew
a
two
additional
one-year
terms
after
that,
so
we'll
evaluate
it
when
it
comes
up
for
renewal
at
that
point,
so
obviously
it
has
conditions
within
the
contract
that
the
vendor
has
to
meet
or
that
you
know
that
we
have
to
meet.
So
if
those
terms
are
not
met,
then
we
can
look
at.
You
know
some
other
options
there,
but
that's
what
we're
bound
to
at
this
time.
M
Okay,
so
who
keep
coming
up
with
these
ideas
to
Source
out
if
it's
not
really
beneficial
to
us
like
that
makes
no
sense.
If
I
mean
you
all
supposed
to
be
the
experts
here,
but
this
clearly
it
doesn't
make
any
sense.
It's
costing
us
more
money
or
could
we
just
know
I
understand
the
contract,
but
most
temp
agencies.
If
you
you
can
utilize
them.
If
you
want
to
you,
don't
have
to,
we
can
just
directly
hire
them
through
our
own
portal.
M
N
Sir
I
mean
we
with
any
position
we
have,
we
can
choose
whether
to
you
know,
make
that
a
full-time
position
or
a
temp
position.
Obviously,
full-time
positions
are
positions
that
have
to
be
you
know,
approved
within
a
budget
ordinance.
Temporary
positions
have
more
flexibility
in
terms
of
you
know,
being
able
to
be
brought
on
or
expended,
and
so
there's
more
flexibility.
There
you're
able
to
fluctuate
the
seasonality
differently,
and
so
there
are
certain
advantages
to
temporary
services
because
of
those
those
kinds
of
different
Dynamics
and
that
comes
with
a
price
tag.
N
The
other
Advantage
is
that
the
Temporary
Service
Agency
helps
find
and
hire
the
talent
versus
our
HR
department
and
having
to
go,
help
find
and
hire
the
talent
we
have
to
pay
for
that.
That's
part
of
the
contract,
and
so
there's
pros
and
cons
to
each
model,
but
it
helps
complement
our
our
staffing
model
and
what
we
do
and
then
so
that's
why
we
that's
why
we
use
it.
Okay,.
M
So
with
the
violence
Interrupters
and
the
victim
services
that
you
all
just
recently
added
to
the
list
for
people
to
apply
for
to
go
through
the
company
to
my
understanding,
we
paid
the
guy
the
Consulting
250
000
to
come
up
with.
You
know,
solutions
to
reduce
violence
and
gun
violence,
particularly
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga
or
gun
balance
gang
or
whatever
way
you
want
to
play.
M
It
he's
been
here
a
couple
of
times
now
we're
to
the
point
we're
saying:
okay,
we're
going
to
hire
someone
different,
some
additional
people
to
be
Interrupters,
violent,
Interrupters
now
for
them,
and
it's
six
months,
it's
temp,
but
this
organization
out
of
town,
this
temp
agency
is
out
of
town.
They
have
no
built
relationships
to
say
we're
gonna,
weed
and
seed
out.
Who
would
be
perfect
to
be
the
boots
on
the
ground
to
go
to
these
communities
where
people
are
running
from
bullets.
M
M
N
We
don't
use
them
to
drive
the
garbage
trucks
in
terms
of
some
of
the
labor
positions
for
Slingers
on
the
back
of
garbage
trucks.
Yes,
we've
we've
had
some
success
on
the
and
helping
fill
in
some
of
the
gaps
in
terms
of
some
of
the
labor
positions.
So
and
again,
one
of
the
big
places
they
help
us
with
is
some
of
the
summer
work
in
terms
of
some
of
the
summer
positions
that
we
need
to
fill.
N
So
you
know
we're
still
fairly
early
on
in
terms
of
the
contract
with
this
particular
company.
They
have
stood
up
a
local
office
here
to
help
kind
of
get
up
and
going
here
and
and
to
build
up
of
a
stronger
local
presence.
So
it's
a
work
in
progress.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
growing
pains
in
terms
of
getting
that
up
and
going
because
it's
still
kind
of
early
on
okay.
M
B
D
Anyone
else:
okay,
let's
move
on
to
the
short-term
vacation
rental
property
tax.
We
got
here
just
in
time.
I
know
this
is
something
you're,
particularly
interested
in.
So
you
have
the
council
questions
here
and
you
have
whatever
answers
they
were
able
to
provide.
So
do
you
have
questions?
I
would
I
do
have
a
couple:
okay,.
K
K
Let's
talk
to
us
I
don't
want
to
interrupt
your
questions,
but
I
didn't
want
you
working
from
the
wrong
version:
okay,
okay.
So
the
first
thing
is
that
ldo
has
shared
a
list
of
the
short-term
vacation
rental
properties
to
be
able
to
see
which
ones
were
approved
issued
in
non-owner
occupied
properties.
So
we
got
that
we
have
talked
to
Marty
Haynes
in
March.
He
provided
a
report
to
the
county
officials
talking
about
the
same
topic.
His
understanding
of
TCA
is
that
a
single
family
home
is
residential,
even
if
it
is
used
as
rental
property.
K
There's.
This
dealing
with
time
shares
so
not
quite
the
same,
but
this
is
an
ongoing
legal
where
these
properties
fit
and
when
I
started.
Reading
the
opinions,
it's
still
legal
legalese
to
me
that
they
clarified
that
the
classification
of
real
property
for
property
taxes
as
commercial
use
was
proper
in
this
case.
That
was
at
the
court
that
TC
TCA
does
allow
to
classify
real
property
according
to
its
use,
but
then
there's
still
some
cons,
I'm
still
not
sure
about
when
there
is
a
single
rental
unit
in
a
residential,
so
we've
got.
K
E
Actually
we
were,
we
were
trying
to
make
sure,
at
least
as
to
the
tax
rate
and
how
the
assessor
would
be
assessing
something
and
under
the
state
law.
The
the
statute
says
that
all
real
property
shall
be
classified
according
to
its
use
and
that's
under
67
5801,
which
is
the
the
statute,
and
that
provision
has
got
a
new
subdivision
in
it.
E
So
that's
the
reason
it's
very
new,
but
that
that
case
determined
here
in
the
Eastern
section
court
of
appeals,
judge
mclarity
actually
issued
the
opinion
here
and
made
a
determination
that
those
properties
should
be
considered
to
be
commercial.
So
it
was
based
upon
the
time
share
units
that
were
involved
in
in
one
of
those
properties.
E
E
At
this
point
in
time
it
will
be
I
guess
the
question
Still
Remains
as
to
timeshares
could
be
considered
differently
based
upon
the
statute
that
deals
with
timeshare
units
as
opposed
to
normal
Residential
Properties,
but
that
that's
that's
out
there
and
they're
trying
to
figure
out,
at
least
at
this
point
in
time.
Short-Term
vacation
rentals
is
fairly
new
and
the
statute
here,
since
it's
only
been
allowed
specifically
since
2017
how
all
that
works.
So
you
know
we're
we're
working
on
it.
B
D
E
But
still
up
to
your
assessor
in
making
that
determination
whenever
they
do
it
because
they
set
the
tax
rate,
the
the
assessor
and
I
think
the
this.
The
memorandum
that
we
we
got
on
the
front
of
it
here
from
Vicki
was
dated
March,
the
9th
of
2023,
and
he
was
at
least
concerned
at
that
point
in
time
about
what
the
court
was
going
to
do,
because
that
case
was
pending
at
that
time.
E
G
O
So
so
this
is
an
interesting
moment
to
find
ourselves
in
when
the
assessor
of
property
and
our
City
attorney
have
both
provided
documents
to
you've
provided
documents.
He's
provided
verbal
confirmation
that
this
was
in
fact
the
way
that
the
law
was
written
and
now
that
we
want
to
apply
the
law
that
now
we
say
well,
maybe
it
actually
doesn't
work
that
way.
It's
kind
of
what
I'm
hearing,
but
so
I
pulled
up.
O
In
my
notes,
the
TCA
675801,
the
documents
that
you
had
provided
to
me
Phil
and
you
were
you-
were
referencing
B2
about
the
parcel
of
property
that
not
more
than
one
when
a
parcel
of
real
property
is
the
principal
Resonance
of
its
owner,
contains
not
more
than
one
rental
unit
and
is
used
as
a
short-term
rental.
The
assessor
should
presume
the
classification
of
the
property
as
residential,
but
then
section
three
itemizes
out
multiple
elements
that
say
you
can
have
one
more.
O
You
can
have
one
more
if
it
fits
these
categories.
That
also
would
qualify
as
residential.
But
it's
number
three
that
triggers
the
commercial
you
don't
get
to
have
three
primary
residences.
No,
you
can
have
two
primary
residences
under
Tennessee
laws.
How
I
read
this
within
the
state
of
Tennessee
and
you
can
rent
one
of
them
as
a
short-term
vacation.
E
I
think
that's
a
problem,
at
least
in
the
administration
of
how
you
get
the
assessment
to
work.
There
has
to
be
an
application
that
is
pending,
I'm,
not
sure
if
our
ordinance
at
least
is
Broad
enough
to
deal
with
that
aspect
right
now,
for
you
know
how
many
units
do
you
have?
Where
are
those
units
in
connection
with
the
the
process
and
does
the
assessor
then
from
there
have
a
listing
of
those
units
that
would
not
be
subject
to
I?
Guess
the
40
taxation
rate.
O
So
I
can
see
two
solutions
to
that.
The
first
is
that,
and
the
first
may
not
be
the
the
legal
way
to
the
the
best
way
to
set
up
the
process.
The
first
would
be,
if
you
own,
an
absentee
rental
in
Chattanooga.
We
send
it
to
the
assessor
of
property
and
they
assess
you
at
the
commercial
rate,
and
you
can
appeal
that,
and
you
can
let
them
know
hey.
This
is
not
mine.
This
is
not
mine
and
I
will
now
file
the
appropriate
affidavit
with
the
assessor
of
property,
as
listed
in
TCA.
O
E
O
Like
a
very
simple
change
to
make
and
we've
been
leaving
revenue
on
the
table
since
2017.,
this
is
a
this
is
a
missed
opportunity
for
us
and
I
mean
it
will
be
very
interesting
to
know
with
the
338
absentee
rentals.
How
many
of
those
are
are
going
to
be
able
to
produce
an
additional
15
of
tax
revenue?
That's
that's
important,
Revenue
to
know
about,
and
in
a
tight
budget
year.
This
could
could
make
a
real
difference
so
Vicky
are.
O
Are
we
on
the
same
page
about
what
we're
trying
to
get
to,
because
the
way
that
this
on
the
document
I
have
with
the
five
bullets
which
I
understand
is
not
the
most
current?
But
there
is
a.
There
is
an
item
that
says
requested
to
add
residential
versus
commercial
Zone
to
the
list.
So
we
in
the
future,
once
the
once
applications
open
again
any
absentee
would
be
in
a
commercial
Zone.
K
D
O
I.
Don't
think
the
onus
should
be
on
the
city
of
Chattanooga
to
have
to
find
that
so
much
as
this
is
the
assumed
tax
category
that
you
are
in,
unless
you
prove
otherwise
and
I.
Imagine
there
are
some
documents
that
you
have
to
provide
as
part
of
that
to
prove
that
this
is
not
that
this
is
your
intentionally
your
primary
residence
and
and
so
on.
O
So
the
residential
versus
commercial
Zone
we're
going
to
have
kind
of
the
the
Legacy
units
right,
the
ones
that
are
in
residential
areas,
that
these
are
the
ones
that
are
that
are
the
trickier
ones
because
moving
forward,
if
it's
commer
in
a
commercial
Zone,
We,
Will,
We,
Will
tax
it
as
commercial
property.
Yes,.

O

Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
Vicki
on
the
heels
of
that
and
thank
you
councilwoman
Hill
you,
you
know.
We've
talked
about
the
25
and
40
for
a
few
years
now,
Vicky
in
your
notes
on
that
with
assessor
Haynes.
Will
you
please
add
in
ugc,
as
our
probably
our
most
popular
zoning,
along
with
rtz
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
we
primarily
almost
I
was
overwhelmed.
F
I,
don't
have
anybody
here
from
RPA
doing
now,
I
would
say
primarily:
ugc
is
used
in
the
residential
side,
not
on
the
commercial
side,
but
given
our
new
stvr
regulations
with
the
25
cat
I
think
we
will
see
a
lot
of
ugc
residential
use
capped
at
the
utilizing.
The
25,
so
I
would
be
interested
to
see
how
we're
addressing
that
as
far
as
the
25
and
the
40
percent,
obviously
with
the
zoning
not
being
the
category
but
the
use
you.
F
F
K
F
M
You
can
kind
of
go
over
this
contract
more
in
depth,
because
number
12
we
can
terminate
for
convenience.
We
just
got
to
get
him
in
any
section
of
the
contract
we
can.
So
we
can
say
we
don't
agree
with
you
know
behind
people,
because
and
I
like
to
know
who
I
have
actually
transitioned
to
become
full-time
employers,
whether
it's
just
a
lot
of
other
questions.
M
That
I
think
we
can
really
work
on,
and
maybe
you
can
help
me
feel
a
bit
more
comfortable
and
then
e,
as
well
with
the
background
checks,
because
we
do
we
ban
the
Box
on
some
stuff,
like,
although
the
ones
that
they're
rejecting
because
of
a
background,
checks
that
come
back.
That
may
not
be
favorable
for
them.
Are
they
really
sending
them
to
our
HR
department?
