A
C
D
Thank
you
so
much
I'm
Donna
Makana
cone,
the
CEO
at
signal
centers
and,
of
course,
we
have
the
contract
to
work
with
baby
University.
We
have
three
people
here
today
who
are
gonna.
Tell
you
a
little
bit
about
what
we've
been
up
to.
The
first
is
Elizabeth
Connelly.
She
is
the
director
of
baby
university.
We
have
a
new
deputy
director,
Joyce
Jackson
and
Max
Taylor,
who
you
heard
from
last
time,
who
is
the
evaluator
from
the
University
of
Tennessee,
Social,
Work
office
of
research
and
public
service?
D
E
E
You
wants
to
partner
with
families
to
help
ensure
that
children
are
born
with
the
best
start
to
life
possible,
some
updated
enrollment
data.
We
currently
have
a
hundred
and
seventy-eight
families
enrolled,
and
we
know
that
adults
don't
exist
in
isolation
and
neither
do
their
babies
and
so
we're
really
serving
everyone
in
the
whole
household,
which
equates
to
over
700
total
people.
E
Almost
all
of
them
have
been
born
at
healthy
birth
weight,
so
80
of
them
have
been
born
at
healthy
birth
weights
and
I'm
gonna
flip
forward
to
the
slide
there,
and
we
also
know
that
93
percent
of
our
children
are
developing
on
track
and
we're
we're
checking
development
on
through
a
s
cues,
which
are
developmental
checkups
and
those
cover
five
different
cognitive
domains.
That
I
think
max
will
touch
on
a
little
bit
later.
E
So
this
is
a
chart
showing
our
prenatal
care.
We
know
that
a
hundred
percent
of
our
families
access
prenatal
care
versus
only
about
forty
to
forty
three
percent
in
our
target
communities
and
then
followed
only
slightly
higher
by
Hamilton
County
and
by
the
state
of
Tennessee,
and
so
that
is
one
thing
that
we're
making
sure
to
link
all
of
our
families
to.
E
We
also
have
some
special
goals
for
our
teens
and
those
are
to
stay
in
school,
to
graduate
on
time,
to
delay
additional
pregnancies
and
to
access
prenatal
care.
In
fact,
we
know
that
a
hundred
percent
of
our
teens
who
were
enrolled
in
high
school
at
baby-
you
enrollment,
have
graduated
on
time
or
are
on
track
to
graduate.
All
of
them
have
also
delayed
any
additional
pregnancies
and,
of
course,
all
of
them
access
prenatal
care
as
well.
E
E
Thank
you.
So
we
are
really
proud
of
our
teams,
because
nationally
the
average
is
only
that
fifty-three
percent
of
teen
moms
graduate
on
time
or
on
track
to
graduate
on
time
versus
all
of
our
baby.
You
teens
that
were
in
school
at
baby,
you
enrollment,
so
we
also
know
that
our
teams
are
not
only
college
bound,
but
some
of
them
are
in
college
now.
So
this
is
a
picture
of
our
very
first
teen
ever
enrolled
in
baby
University.
She
had
a
healthy
baby.
E
She
is
graduated
high
school
on
time
and
now
she
is
at
attending
chat
State.
She
began
last
fall,
so
this
is
a
picture
of
her
on
her
four
day
of
school
wearing
her
chat,
State
Tigers
t-shirt,
so
we
were
just
very
proud
of
her
and
in
fact
we
have
11
parents
who
are
now
in
college
that
were
not
enrolled
in
college
at
initial
enrollment
and
finally,
some
outcomes
and
some
of
our
other
data.
We
have
119
families
who
have
either
gained
employment
or
improved
their
employment.
E
Since
babyyou
enrollment,
we
also
have
69
families
who
have
improved
their
housing
conditions
or
obtained
housing
at
all.
We
work
with
a
lot
of
families
who
are
homeless
or
transitional,
and
then
we've
also
connected
111
families
to
car
seats,
so
they
have
a
safe
way
to
transport,
be
transported
in
the
car
and
then
another
hundred
and
eighty-seven
children
have
been
linked
to
pack
in
place,
which
of
course,
provide
a
safe
sleep
environment.
Further
reducing
infant
mortality
rates
now
I'll
turn
it
over
to
max
who's
with
our
external
evaluator.
F
You
Elizabeth
this
slide
is
showing
results
from
the
self-sufficiency
matrix,
which
is
a
tool
that
enables
practitioners,
policymakers
and
researchers
in
public
health
care,
social
services
and
related
work
fields
to
assess
the
degree
of
self-sufficiency
of
their
clients
across
a
variety
of
domains
of
life
functioning.
The
instrument
used
by
babyyou
is
administered
at
intake
and
then
subsequently,
every
two
to
six
months.
F
In
this
presentation,
we've
summarized
the
differences
between
the
percentage
of
people
who
scored
at
level
three
or
above
in
the
scale,
to
the
right,
indicating
self-sufficiency
at
their
first
assessment
at
intake
and
then
the
latest
available
assessment.
There
were
a
hundred
and
thirty-one
people
with
at
least
two
assessments
as
of
last
October.
It
can
be
seen
in
this
slide
that
in
the
employment
domain,
the
percentage
of
people
who
scored
at
3
or
above
increased
from
29
point
one
percent
to
68
62.8%
in
the
child
care
domain.
F
The
percentage
of
people
who
scored
at
3
or
above
increased
from
73
to
83
percent,
and
these
these
assessments
are
directed
by
partnership
of
the
baby,
new
specialist
and
the
client
themselves.
So
these
are.
These
are
goals
that
are
chose
in
partnership
between
the
caseworker
and
the
client.
All
of
the
increases
in
the
combined
proportions
of
the
respondents
who
scored
three
of
basic
self
sufficiency
for
building
capacity
or
five
fully
self-sufficient,
we're
statistically
significant,
except
for
adult
education.
F
What
this
graph
is
indicating
scores
above
the
cutoff
point
suggests
that
a
child
is
on
track
developmentally
scores
near
the
cutoff
points,
call
for
discussion
and
monitoring
and
scores
beneath
the
cutoff
points
indicate
a
need
for
further
assessments
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
the
biggest
increase
in
the
on
track
percentage
was
in
the
area
of
problem-solving
skills.
From
eighty
eight
point,
three
percent
to
ninety
five
point:
one
percent:
this
is
a
statistically
significant
increase
and
statistically
significant,
meaning,
of
course,
not
due
to
just
ran
the
variation.
F
F
What
you're
seeing
here
is
the
number
of
families
who
rated
at
least
8
of
the
18
social
SSM
domains
as
in
crisis
at
the
time
of
the
first
domain
administration.
Nine
of
them
were
not
assessed
again,
however,
out
of
the
21
who
were
assessed
at
least
twice
only
seven
rated,
eight
SSM
domains
at
one
or
two
with
the
second
administration,
and
only
three
at
the
third
administration.
So
the
number
of
families
in
crisis
is
decreasing
over
the
course
of
their
ten-year
with
baby
university.
E
So,
as
you
can
tell,
we
are
very
proud
of
our
families
and
their
progress
toward
self-sufficiency
and
stability.
They
are
inspiring
resilient
and
determined,
and
so
every
year
we
want
to
host
a
baby.
You
graduation
celebration
for
our
families
that
have
progressed
through
the
tiered
graduation
system
and
have
obtained
healthy
pregnancies
and
understand
early
brain
development
and
have
reached
a
greater
self-sufficiency
and
stability.
So
this
is
a
picture
of
our
whole
group.
E
E
So
this
is
one
of
my
favorites
that
I
haven't
been
able
to
share
with
you
yet
but
a
while
back
we
had
enrolled
a
mom,
a
dad
and
her
one-year-old
or
their
one-year-old
at
enrollment.
The
family
was
living
in
a
hotel
where
mom
worked
and
they
needed
a
lot
of
just
the
very
basic
needs.
Food
purrs,
a
carseat
transportation
for
when
people
went,
would
take
their
family.
They
would
need
a
car
seat
for
that
and
just
a
whole
host
of
things.
Packing
plays
everything
you
name
it.
E
They
kind
of
needed
that
mom's
first
goal
was
actually
to
get
her
last
name
changed
from
her
ex-husband's
name
to
her
current
husband's
name.
Her
ex-husband
had
been
abusive
and
she
just
wasn't
sure
you
know
what
the
kind
of
the
first
steps
to
that
were,
and
so
we
were
able
to
help
her
navigate
some
of
those
processes
and
even
transported
her
to
the
Social
Security
Administration.
So
we
could
have
that
early
win
that
she
was
so
proud
of.
E
We
also,
in
the
meantime
we're
helping
connect
them
to
food
stamps,
a
car
seat,
a
pack
and
play
for
safe
sleep,
WIC
and
many
other
resources,
also
at
the
same
time,
dad
was
looking
for
a
job
but
needed
proper
photo
identification
to
secure
employment.
So
we
were
able
to
help
walk
him
through
that
process
and
connect
him
with
photo
identification.
So
he
could
get
a
job
within
about
six
months
of
that
job.
He
was
promoted
to
a
manager
and
then,
within
about
another
six
months,
he
changed
jobs
with
even
higher
income.
E
So
now,
I'm
thrilled
to
report
mom
is
working.
Two
jobs
dad
has
his
full-time,
stable
job
and
the
family
was
able
to
purchase
the
first
car
that
they
have
ever
purchased
in
their
lifetime,
and
so,
furthermore,
they
were
also
able
to
come
off
of
all
subsidies
and
public
assistance,
and
so
I
feel
like
this
really
showcase
showcase
is
a
perfect
example
of
how
intensive
case
management
can
be
utilized
to
partner
with
families
not
only
with
early
healthy
development,
but
also
with
a
family
unit
and
stability
as
a
whole
and
general
illness.
D
D
But
our
hope
is
that
we're
going
to
help
people
move
into
the
middle
class,
we're
gonna
help
people
get
the
resources
they
need
and
our
clients
don't
stay
where
they
are
so
and
oftentimes
we'll
take
any
family
who
is
homeless
into
baby
youth
so
and
what
we've
been
successful
at
it
to
move
on,
to
have
permanent
residents
and,
hopefully,
employment.
So
there's
a
there's,
a
map
here
for
you
that
tells
you
how
many
families
are
in
your
district
and
we
appreciate
sworps
pulling
that
information
together.
Do
you
have
questions
for.
D
Whatever
job
they
need-
and
so
sometimes
our
low-income
jobs,
I
mean
some
of
those
are
working
at
McDonald's
we
had
to
I
know
we
had
two
moms
who
needed
two
job
share
so
that
they
could
take
care
of
each
other's
children.
You
know
we'll
do
whatever
it
takes,
but
what
we
want
to
do
is
find
out.
What
does
this
person
want
to
do
and
then
we
help
connect
them
to
resources.
D
D
C
D
Counselors
actually,
last
year,
when
we
went
to
try
to
establish
a
class
there,
most
of
the
counselors
told
us
that,
basically,
if
they're
it,
if
they
get
pregnant,
they
drop
out
of
school,
so
we
were
able
to.
They
were
able
to
work
with
us
to
get
three
or
four
re-enrolled
in
school
and
on
track
to
graduate
and
they've
been
a
great
partner.
The
school
system
has
thank.
I
I
Firt
Thank
You
chairwoman
Donna.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
you've
done
exactly
what
we've
asked
you
to
do,
and
that
is
give
us
a
an
update
on
where
we
are
going
with
this
citywide.
When
I
first
came
to
meet
with
you,
you
are
not
touching
all
of
these
districts.
I
know
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
As
the
funding
and
resources
have
been
more
available
to
you,
I
can
see
that
you
are
reaching
out.
My
question
to
you
is,
for
example,
in
district
4
and
I'm.
I
D
I
D
I
G
F
D
Are
you
familiar
with
capacity
where
the
Community
Foundation
and
the
McClellan
foundation
have
basically
put
specific
needs
out
to
the
community?
You
get
a
text
message
and
you
can
fill
that
need
immediately
and
you
actually
click
on
it.
I
get
the
I
get
the
thing
every
weekend
and
you
fill
a
need
and
we
need
accommodation
approach
just
about
being
one
of
the
test
markets
and
so
very
frequently,
probably
at
least
two
or
three
a
month.
Community
members
will
fill
a
need
that
we've
had
car
seats
and
a
bed.
D
We
had
bedding
for
children,
we've
had
shoes,
we've
had
diapers
donated
by
the
community,
and
then
there
have
been
several
folks
in
the
community
who
come
forward
and
want
to
help
us
our
next
endeavor.
As
you
know,
we
put
if
we
put
clients
in
our
car
and
take
them
to
the
doctor
if
they
don't
have
another
way
to
get.
There
is
going
on
right
next
total,
since
we're
gonna
get
a
van.
We
had
someone
by
a
van
and
we
will
probably
hire
one
of
the
clients
to
help
with
transportation
and
train
them.
That's.
A
Know
I'm
Donna.
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
great
choice
of
pictures
for
your
presentation:
okay,
eggs,
excellent
job;
okay,
but
all
that
aside
talk
about
how
you
have
worked
hard
and
getting
collaboration,
because
one
of
the
things
that
we
always
talk
about
on
this
council
is
collaboration,
because
we
know
that's
one
way
of
maximizing
the
dollars
that
you
receive.
Could
you
just
talk
about
some
of
the
partners
that
helps
make
this
great
program
happy.
D
320
provides
books
to
all
of
our
families,
many
other
things.
We
have
staff
from
Blue
Cross,
who
have
been
a
consistent
contributor
to
the
program
who
helped
we
work
with
early
matters,
the
coalition,
that's
part
of
2.0.
We
we
have
collaborations
across
the
city,
the
ladies
of
charity.
They
have
a
Frisch
stop
and
they
let
our
folks
shop
there
at
no
charge.
They
also
donate
diapers
monthly
to
our
program
and
have
helped
with
other
things
as
well.
The
Youth
Council
from
the
city
helped
serve
at
all
our
vents.
They
come
in
interact
with
our
families.
D
A
No,
no,
but
I
just
wanted
to
let
everybody
know
that
you
know
the
great
work
of
having
partners
that
support
this
program
and
how
you
maximize
all
your
efforts
and
all
your
resources
to
have
such
a
positive
impact
on
all
the
families
in
this
community
and
not
to
just
think.
That's
very
important
and
I
commend
you
for
that,
because
we
wish
more
organization
would
have
their
collaborative
feel
for
how
they
operate.
So
once
again,
thank
you
for
the
great
job.
C
J
K
L
Yes,
sir,
how
are
you
doing
wanted
to
wanted
to
take
a
moment,
mr.
chairman
and
present
a
few
accolades
to
some
folks
and
who've,
achieved
some
success
in
our
department
I,
like
all
hundred
seven
hundred
and
thirty
of
our
employees?
Don't
do
this
every
day,
but
we
are
always
excited
to
honor
individuals
who
and
projects
that
achieve
above
and
beyond
and
are
recognized
outside
of
our
organization.
So
I'd
like
to
do
that.
If
you
give
me
the
moment
sure.
K
L
Sir,
in
October,
several
folks
attended
the
Tennessee
chapter
of
APW,
a
conference
in
Nashville.
A
few
of
our
public
works.
Team
members
were
presented
awards,
along
with
a
major
project
and
I'd
like
to
recognize
these
individuals.
Now
Kristin
Franklin
received
the
Edward
C
Archer
young
public
wheat
leaders.
Young
public
works
leader
of
the
Year
award
for
success,
thanks
leading
the
citywide
services
division
and
customer
relations
and
keeping
the
division
on
task
during
a
time
of
transition.
L
She
remained
steady
and
positive
presidents
for
the
department
Kristin
served
as
the
divisions
response
responder
to
chat,
3-1-1
requests,
ensuring
customers
requests
were
completed
to
the
satisfaction
and
need
of
our
customers
like
to
recognize
Kristin
Franklin.
As
an
outstanding
member
of
our
organization.
L
But
didn't
lose
anything
Thanks
next
I'd
like
to
recognize
Kim
strong.
She
received
the
W
Larry
Eden's
Award
for
outstanding
service
to
American
Public
Works
Association,
serving
as
a
member
of
many
a
PWA
committees,
including
the
Diversity
Committee
nationally
Kim
volunteers,
for
many
local
organizations,
including
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
where
she
recently
won
volunteer
of
the
Year
award
as
well.
As
you
may
remember,
from
this
summer,
can
let
our
very
own,
successful
summer
youth
worker
program,
so
I'd
like
to
recognize
Kimberly
strong.
L
M
L
All
right
next
I'd
like
to
recognize
Bobby
Allen
Bobby,
received
the
Charles
Walter
Nichols
award
for
leadership
and
solid
waste
management
and
streets
construction
maintenance
in
the
Department.
He
has
played
a
large
role
in
training
and
development
of
his
team
and
road
maintenance
standards
that
not
only
ensure
safe
passage
or
roadways,
but
that
the
dollars
invested
in
the
maintenance
of
her
roadways
are
for
the
long
haul
and
not
just
quick
fixes
so
I'd
like
to
recognize
Bobby
Allen.
L
Next
I'd
like
to
recognize
Allen
Whitman
Allen,
received
the
Award
of
Merit
for
his
efficient
and
courteous
service
to
Chattanooga.
You
may
recognize
his
name.
He
was
a
participant
in
the
national
equipment
rodeo
a
few
a
few
months
back,
he
has
been
a
great
morale
for
the
department.
As
a
member
of
citywide
services,
the
emergency
response
team.
He
leads
the
charge
to
try
to
treat
primary
routes,
ensuring
safe
passage
in
and
out
of
our
city
during
inclement
weather.
Congratulations
to
to
Allen
Wedman.
L
Thanks
for
flipping,
the
slides
back
I
also
want
to
recognize
several
individuals
on
our
public
works
team
who
participated
in
the
recipient,
who
were
the
recipients
of
a
state
award
for
a
project
of
the
year
for
Anderson
Avenue
Anderson
Avenue
is
a
green
infrastructure
project
in
Highland
Park
as
part
of
the
consent
decree.
It
improves
water
quality
by
using
natural
materials
and
vegetation.
That
slows
down
filters
and
infiltrates
stormwater
runoff
improving
the
conditions
of
the
Dobbs
branch
area,
which
flows
into
the
Chattanooga
Creek.
L
So
many
of
our
team
members
and
water
quality
engineering
and
construction
engineering
participated
in
this
project
along
with
our
consultant,
and
we
were
recognized
for
a
project
of
the
year
and
I'll
present
this
to
most
of
our
water
quality
team
is
here
so
many
people
participate
in
the
project
of
the
year.
It's
a
great
honor
to
win
those.
L
Lastly,
and
we
had
a,
we
also
received
recognition
recently
from
the
American
Council
on
engineering
companies,
the
st.
Elmo
drainage
project,
which
was
a
seventeen
million
dollar
project
to
correct
a
drainage
issue
from
the
Alton
Park
and
st.
Elmo
drainage
basins.
This
award
was
a
was
from
a
different
Association,
but
John
Lyons
accepted
the
award
John.
Was
our
project
lead
coming
up
John?
He
was
our
project
lead
on
this
from
engineering
and
was
I
was
in
Nashville
recently
to
accept
the
award
on
the
city's
behalf.
L
All
right,
thank
you
for
giving
me
just
a
moment
to
recognize
our
employees.
We
have
some
outstanding
folks
who
do
outstanding
things
and
I
know
it
takes
some
time
to
allow
us
to
do
that
in
here,
and
I
greatly
appreciate
that
next
I'd
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
mr.
chairman,
a
issue
that
came
up
from
last.
K
K
A
L
Mr.
chairman,
last
week
there
was
some
questions
on
the
would
recycle.
Center
I'd
be
happy
to
fill
some
questions
after
I
go
through
a
little
bit
of
information
about.
Why
we're
here,
the
wood
recycle
center
in
December
of
2017
changed
a
bit
of
our
operations
to
we
hired
out
our
wood
grinding
operations.
So
you're
probably
wondering
why
did
we
do
that?
We
mainly
because
we
needed
to
purchase
a
about
an
eight
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollar
grinder.
So
we
explored
some
options
too,
as
alternative
means
to
deliver
that
same
service
at
our
wood
recycling
center.
L
We
the
return
on
that
that
investigation
resulted
in
what
we
thought
was
going
to
be
about
two
hundred
eighty
thousand
dollars
in
savings.
We've
realized
in
the
expenses
from
one
year
about
three
hundred
sixty-two
thousand
dollars
in
savings
since
December
of
last
year
compared
to
the
the
previous
year.
So
what
does
the
wood
recycling
center
do
when
brush
is
collected
from
your
household
from
some
50
to
60
thousand
service
requests
that
all
that
brush
goes
to
the
wood
recycling
center?
L
And
that's
where
it's
ground
up,
we
collect
about,
looks
like
our
projections
about
25,000
tons
brush
comparative
to
what
we've
done
the
previous
years.
It's
pretty
consistent
and
this
this
just
shows
consistent
revenues,
tons
and
number
of
service
requests
that
we
received
year
over
year.
You
see
this
pretty
significant
increase
in
service
requests
from
2007
to
2008,
teen
related
to
the
app
and
the
accessibility
to
three
one
want
to
believe.
L
J
L
We
wanted
to
give
the
council
an
opportunity
to
field
questions
today
and
if
there
are
any
additional
questions,
we
deferred
the
item
to
be
approved
or
to
present
for
approval
for
next
week.
So
the
item
will
be
on
purchases
listed
next
week,
but
I
wanted
to
give
the
council
an
opportunity
to
see
the
return
on
the
investment
from
the
alternative
delivery
service,
a
service
delivery
and
also
give
you
a
chance
to
ask
questions.
Our
contract
does
renew
and
our
does
expire
in
December
I.
J
H
L
L
I
I
I
H
L
No
sir,
so
the
volume
of
brush
that
we
receive
is
is
cleared
typically
in
a
day
or
two
from
that
contractor.
It's
not
not
unusual,
for
it
wouldn't
have
been
unusual
for
us
to
operate.
Similarly,
where
you
know,
the
grinders
is
over
capacity
for
what
we
needed,
and
so
we
didn't
have
to
run
the
grinder,
our
grinder
everyday.
They
don't
have
to
run
there's
every
day,
either.
Typically
I
think
they
run
it
a
couple
times
a
week,
and
we
did
the
same
thing
so.
L
L
H
L
K
L
Briefly,
we
are
contracting
with
River
City,
athletic
fields,
company
to
rehabilitate
some
youth
recreation
fields,
and
there
are
25
fields
total
there
at
Hickson,
youth,
athletic
association,
lakeside,
Lookout,
Valley
and
Rivermont
to
meet
some
Dizzy
Dean
baseball
organization
requirements.
It
basically
reduces
some
safety
issues
with
the
infield
lip
to
the
egg
to
the
outfield,
where
the
those
were
drugged,
I
think
it
also
is
laser
grading,
compacting
fields,
reestablishing
infield,
edges,
top
dressing,
resetting
bases
as
needed,
or
base
anchors
as
needed,
and
leaving
some
all
the
additional
material
for
the
youth
Athletic
Association
to
manage.
L
There
are
several
safety
issues
and
playability
issues
that
come
along
with
the
deferred
maintenance
of
those
fields
and
I
got
a
couple
of
photos
that
you
can
see
of
what
those
field
conditions
look
like
previously
and
some
of
the
problems
that
we
that
they
experienced
at
the
athletic
associations
and
I.
Don't
think
this
is
what
the
crews
going
to
be
doing.
But
it's
more
something
like
this:
a
little
more
sophisticated
with
laser
graded
fields.

L
So
bio
solids
are
a
byproduct
of
the
wastewater
treatment
system,
our
wastewater
treatment
process,
so
the
BIOS
bio
solids,
your
bio
sludge,
is
actually
a
typically
a
cake,
dried
mix
which
is
heated
in
either
by
centrifuge
or
by
a
filter
press
that
product
generally
comes
out
in
a
dry
product
and
as
land
applied
as
a
bio
solids.
So
you've
heard
us
talk
about
bio
solids
in
the
past
as
land
applied
bio
solids.
Sometimes
that
process
doesn't
work
perfectly
and
we
need
we
need
a
way
to
dispose
of
those
at
San
Tex
landfill.
L
I
L
So
these
are
the
last
three
items
are
l,
m
and
n
are
all
on
call
professional
services
contracts
to
allow
us
to
expedite
resolution
of
either
mechanical
I.
Think
we're
structural,
architectural
mechanical
electrical
plumbing
engineering
services.
So
what
it
allows
us
to
do
is
tap
the
resources
of
these
firms,
who
have
submitted
to
help
us
with
some
quick
fixes.
L
So
the
authorized
amount
for
item
L
is
150,000
authorized
amount
for
item
M
as
250,
and
the
authorized
amount
for
n
is
150,
so
it
just
means
that
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
go
over
that
authorized
amount
without
coming
back
to
the
council,
but
it
also
allows
us
to
select
from
a
variety
of
consultants
for
which
area
they
they
may
specialize.
In
so.
K
L
B
Resolution
authorizing
the
administrator
for
the
Department
of
Public
Works
to
enter
into
an
agreement
to
increase
the
scope
and
amount
of
an
existing
contract
with
HDR
engineering
Inc
for
professional
services
relative
to
the
water
quality
program
rate
study
for
a
total
amount
not
to
exceed
four
hundred
and
sixty
nine
thousand
nine
hundred.
Eighty
four
dollars.
L
We
have
a
presentation
that
we
would
like
to
go
through
now.
This
is
at
the
request
of
the
council
from
last
year's
budgeting
process
of
the
where
we
were
requesting
rate
increases
for
stormwater
fees.
The
council
asked
us
to
investigate
alternatives
to
how
we
measure
and
how
we
structure
our
rate
for
each
of
this,
each
partial
in
the
city
we've
developed.
N
Thank
you.
This
includes
natural
bodies
of
water,
such
as
streams,
creeks,
rivers
and
stormwater.
Runoff
measures
addressed
in
the
city's
permit
includes,
but
are
not
limited
to
public
outreach
and
education
participation
and
involvement,
illicit
discharge,
detection
and
elimination,
construction
and
post
construction
site,
runoff
control
and
pollution
prevention
and
Good
Housekeeping.
The
water
quality
fee
funds,
programs
and
positions
whose
purposes
are
to
reduce
and
prevent
pollution,
provide
guidance
for
construction
and
industrial
activities
and
control
flooding
through
the
construction
and
maintenance
of
stormwater
infrastructure
such
as
roadways,
curbs,
inlets,
pipe
stitches,
water
quality
units
and
detention
facilities.
N
We
propose
the
analysis,
we'll
compare
and
contrast
for
different
stormwater
fee
methodologies
using
up
to
ten
different
fee
structures.
The
various
rate
structures
are
based
on
existing
comparable
programs
in
Tennessee
and
other
regional
areas.
These
methodologies
include
the
equivalent
residential
unit,
which
is
the
current
Chattanooga
model,
the
C
factor
rate
structure,
which
is
the
previous
Chattanooga
model,
the
runoff
unit
and
various
tiered
rate
structures.
N
The
ER
you
measured
in
Purvis
area
as
I
mentioned,
is
Chattanooga's
current
model
and
is
currently
the
Lancaster
Ohio
model.
The
C
factor,
which
is
assumed
in
pervious
area,
is
the
previous
Chattanooga
model.
The
runoff
unit,
which
is
the
measured
in
pervious
areas,
Gwinnett
County
and
a
tiered
residential
and
eru
impervious
non
residential
methodologies
are
used
in
Griffin
Georgia,
Durham,
North,
Carolina,
Memphis,
Franklin,
Nashville
and
Cleveland
Tennessee.
N
And
here
we
have
two
examples:
these
houses
both
have
comparable
living
area,
one
is
1498
square
feet
and
the
other
is
1489
square
feet.
But,
as
you
can
see,
what's
not
real
evident
in
this
picture.
In
this
picture
we
have
superimposed
the
smaller
lot
inside
of
the
larger
Lots.
So
you
can
see
the
smaller
one
is
only
five
thousand
one
hundred
and
twenty
square
feet.
That's
listed
as
house,
one
that
the
small
parcel
and
then
the
other
one
is
forty-eight
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighty
seven.
N
These
both
are
residential
units,
so
they're
charged
the
same
water
quality
fee,
even
though
they
are
different
and
the
impervious
area
in
differences.
The
house
one
is
five
thousand
eight
hundred
seventy
five
square
feet,
which
is
the
larger
lot.
The
houses
are
the
same
size,
but
they
have
a
lot
more
drive
and
parking
areas.
N
And
as
far
as
our
stormwater
fee
initial
and
annual
costs
for
running
the
program,
the
initial
methodology
conversion
back
from
back
in
2010,
we
had
aerial
photography,
which
was
two
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
the
rate
conversion,
except
its
itself,
was
seven
hundred
fifty
thousand,
so
the
total
cost
to
the
city
was
nine
hundred
and
sixty-five
thousand
our
ongoing
annual
cost
for
this
program
for
the
satellite
imagery
is
ten
thousand
dollars.
The
indirect
Treasury
cost
for
actually
providing
the
billing
aspect
is
seventy
eight
thousand
six
87
there's
a
lot
of
staff
time
involved.
N
We
have
a
staff
memory
students
about
15
hours
annually,
which
is
equates
to
about
34,000,
doing
an
analysis
of
the
properties
and
updates,
as
we
have
more
development
come
into
our
city,
another
staff
member
handles
our
credits
and
exemptions
and
the
appeals,
so
our
ongoing
annual
cost
to
run
the
program
is
one
hundred
and
thirty.
Two
thousand.
E
N
Hundred
and
fifty
three
dollars,
we
have
some
past
due
uncollected
water
quality
fees.
As
you
can
see
here,
it's
gone
up,
as
has
development.
We
averaged
probably
about
a
million
dollars
a
year
in
unfun,
recouped
fees
and
here's.
The
breakdown
based
on
type
about
half
of
those
fees
are
government
that
hamilton
county
city
of
Chattanooga
and
federal
estate-
and
you
can
see
here
the
residential
part-
makes
up
about
twenty-three
thousand
total
here.
N
The
government
part,
including
interest,
is
four
million
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
that's
of
uncollected
past
due
and
interest
and
the
cost
of
deliverables
with
this
additional
scope
for
this
program.
To
do
this
analysis,
the
comparison
data
and
final
reports
to
be
completed
within
15
weeks
of
the
Notice
to
Proceed.
The
timing
allows
for
review
and
evaluation
of
the
findings
in
advance
of
the
fiscal
year
20
budget.
The
original
contract
amount,
was
three
hundred
sixty
four
thousand
six
hundred.
P
L
Years,
so
that's
the
reason
that
we
need
to
raise
water
quality
fees
is
because
operating
expenses
were
really
close
to
our
revenues.
So
this
is
a
little
bit
not
to
your
question,
but
this
rate
study
how
we,
how
we
collect
fees
and
how
we
build
those
fees,
is
a
little
bit
different
and
why
we?
Why
do
we
need
to
do
this?
It
really
I
think
from
the
council.
L
It
was
a
question
about
how
fair
are:
are
the
rates
being
assessed
and
are
there
other
ways,
and
so
we
in
our
scope
with
HDR,
our
previous
contractor
and
the
change
order,
we've
decided
to
are
we've
developed
a
scope
and
have
a
relatively
close
assessment
of
what
that
fee
would
be.
Coming
back
to
the
council.
L
O
O
It
it
looks
like
we're
going
to
repeat
what
we
already
did.
If
you
go
even
further
back,
we
talked
about
comparing
how
various
different
places
do
it
I
can
go
back
where
you
talked
about
keep
going
forward
all
right.
So
at
some
point
we
did
a
pretty
comprehensive
study
looking
at
all
these
various
ways
of
doing
things
and
made
the
decision
on
a
way
of
doing
it
and
decided
for
whatever
reasons
that
was
the
best
decision.
O
L
The
implementation
costs,
if
we
decide
we
couldn't
decide
that
we're
doing
it
the
best
we
can
that
the
way
that
we're
doing
it
is
fair
and
all
meets
all
the
requirements
that
the
council
wants.
The
alternative
is
that
we
find
a
better
solution.
We
do
feel
like
this.
The
rate
that
the
rate
structure
that
we
have
now
is
fair
and
equitable.
We
feel
like
there
are.
We
know
that
there
are
other
ways
to.
L
O
L
L
To
go
back
and
look
at
what
happened
in
early
2010,
I
believe
when
the
last
few
was
assessed
or
the
last
rate
structure
was
was
established
and
I
apologize.
Bill
pain
could
not
be
here
today,
who
has
probably
the
most
historical
information
about
this
institutional
knowledge,
so
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
look
to
see
if
this
was
actually.
If
all
these
things
were
investigated,
but
the
new,
a
change
order
would
be
proposed
next
week
to
for
your
approval,
if
I
would.
O
Like
to
know
when
its
proposed
for
my
approval
at
least
what
is
missing
that
hasn't
been
looked
at,
I
mean
I
get
it.
A
house
has
got
five
thousand
square
feet
and
it's
two-story.
It's
going
to
have
less
I
mean
less
impervious
than
one.
That's
older
and
ranch-style
I
get
that
all
right,
I'm,
just
simply
asking
to
spend
any
money.
L
L
I
N
N
N
I
I
That
I
mean
that's
the
way
it
works
in
business.
I
know
when
I
mean
that's
just
the
way
it
goes.
We
all
pay
that
we
all
end
up,
paying
that
whatever
we
buy.
So
what
measures
are
we
doing
right
now
and
I
see
mr.
Hollin
about
to
approach
the
the
bench
so
to
speak?
So
what
are
we
Justin?
What
are
we
doing
just
to
try
to
reclaim
that.
L
I
I
would
be
really
really
interested
to
see.
I
follow
up
on
this
I
won't
hold
you
to
any
more
answers
on
this
right
now,
but
I
think
it's
important
that,
if
we're
not
collecting
what's
owed
to
us
so
to
speak,
then
that
that
that
has
a
detrimental
impact
on
the
a
fees
that
we
have
to
charge
and
I
mean
that's
just
that's
crazy
amount
of
money.
L
I
I
What
past
due
accounts
and
I
think
that
same
I
would
love
to
see
that
same
application
of
getting
a
head
head
shake
from
Mauro
that
you
agree
that
we
we've
got
to
do
the
same
thing
and
we've
got
to
be
more
diligent,
so
I
want
to
propose
the
challenge.
If
this
council
can
help
you
do
something
like
that,
then
let's
please
look
at
that,
because
that's
a
lot
of
money!
That's
out
there.
L
I
And
my
last
point,
mr.
chairman,
is
to
follow
up
on
Councilwoman
Bertha's
question.
I.
Think
this
hundred
and
five
thousand
dollar
change
order
is
really
what
the
council
had
asked
to
basically
come
through
and
present
a
different
rate
program,
and
with
that
we
would
also
the
consultant
would
provide
to
us
what
that
plan
would
implement
cost
wise,
whether
it's
an
increase
or
a
decrease.
Is
that
correct
on
a
yearly
operation.
L
I
N
The
original
study
did
not
compare
the
specific
cities,
that's
one
reason
why
we
were
asked
to
do
more
analysis
as
far
as
what
we,
what
they
looked
at,
to
see
how
we
compared
as
far
as
what
we
were
charging
and
the
main
reason
why
the
consultant
recommended
we
stick
with
the
eru
structure
that
we
have
is
because
it
was
legally
defensible
and
the
other
structures
have
not
been
taken
through.
The
court
system
then
defended.
H
Q
Well,
I
think
this
is
51.3%
of
the
nine
point
four
million
dollars
we
were
talking
about
on
there
and
the
the
problem
that
you
have
in
connection
with
collection
of
stormwater
fees
is,
it
is
not
a
tax,
is
a
fee
under
state
law
and
federal
laws.
The
only
reason
we're
able
to
charge
that
fee
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
they're
looking
at
these
er
use
as
being
the
proper
method
of
collection
of
that
fee.
Q
If
we
were
dealing
with
this
as
a
tax,
there
would
probably
more
ability
to
be
able
to
collect
on
it
a
little
bit
easier
right
now.
Do
these
governmental
entities,
if
they
don't
pay
through
collection,
then
you're
forcing
yourselves
into
a
suit
situation
here
with
these
bodies
and
there's
also
statutes
of
limitations
that
run
on
the
collection
of
those
fees
over
a
certain
period
of
time.
J
J
So
it
looks
like
we're
going
to
rehash
or
look
at
four
different
structures.
Is
that
correct
in
this
one
hundred
and
four
thousand,
which
it
would
and
maybe
maybe
we
need
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board?
I
don't
know,
but
in
our
budget
and
finance
committee
meetings,
I
thought
the
question
was:
why
can't
we
implement
a
tiered
system?
J
J
N
J
I
guess
my
question
mr.
Kollin
was
I
mean
I
thought
this
counsel
pretty
much.
Everybody
on
this
council
was
interested
in
looking
at
a
tiered
system.
I,
don't
know
why
we
would
go
back
and
look
at
a
see
factor,
because
we
know
that
is
not
defensible
in
court.
I.
Throw
that
one
out
I,
don't
know
we
would
look
at
it.
The
runoff
unit
would
actually
probably
really
be
expensive
to
implement
because
you've
got
to
go
out
and
physically
measure
everybody's
I,
throw
that
one
out
I
mean.
Can
we
not
throw
all
of
these
out?
J
L
M
Is
correct,
I
was
a
project
manager
when
we
did
the
previous
30
10
years
ago
and
remember
that's
the
reason.
We
chose
the
current
method
because
it
has
been
tested
in
court
and
it's
defensible.
The
tier
approach
word
was
developed
after
most
of
them
were
developed
after
our
methods,
so
those
municipalities
have
adopted
the
tier
approach
recently
and
as
far
as
I'm,
not
my
knowledge,
I,
don't
think
this
has
been
tested
in
court.
Yet
this
doesn't
mean
they
may
not
be.
J
Do
you
have
a
furious
of
why
I
mean
if
these
were
passed
recently
and
I'm
going
to
go
out
on
a
limb
and
assume
something
here
and
I
know
that
dangerous?
They
must
have
looked
at
the
way
we
did
it
hurry.
Are
you
measurement
and
chose
this
direction
if
they've
done
it?
Since
we've
implemented
our
eru.
M
M
J
I
Q
I
I
O
Went
along
with
what
councilman
Ledford
just
said:
if
we're
really
not
going
to
pursue
it,
then
those
are
illusory
debts
and
we
need
to
just
move
on
and
not
count
them
as
anything,
that's
going
to
help
us
out
whether
that's
right
or
wrong,
to
put
up
graphs
for
all
these
millions
of
dollars
that
are
uncollected.
But
the
fact
is:
we've
made
some
sort
of
decision
not
to
collect,
because
we
are
not
going
to
put
a
lien
on
UTC
or
the
county
or
or
whatever.
Then
it's
illusory
to
even
have
them.
O
G
O
So
then
you're
back
to
what
is
the
need
for
the
next
five
years
for
your
long-range
plan,
and
where
do
we
fall
short
and
what
is
the
if
you
do
a
cost
plan
and
I
know,
that's
my
usual
word
guys,
but
I
think
that's
how
you
have
to
look
at
things.
If
you
do
a
cost-benefit
analysis,
are
we
going
to
spending
more
money
trying
to
change
things
than
what
we're
going
to
reap?
Do
you
understand
what
I'm
saying
the
other
thing
is?
Is
I.
O
Agree
with
with
my
accounts
that
my
colleague
councilman
Henderson
I'm,
not
sure
why
we
would
look
at
things
that
we
don't
want
to
look
at
anyway
and
I.
Don't
we
can't?
We
can
always
change
the
scope
of
work,
we're
paying.
There
would
be
any
problem
with
us
going
to
our
consultants
for
it
a
lot
of
money
off
of
us
anyway,
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
why
in
the
world
they
would
even
say
well,
that's
going
to
cost
a
hundred
that
when
they
did
all
this
to
begin
with,
but
I'll
leave
that
up
to
you
all.
O
However,
of
course
we
can
change
the
scope.
We
haven't.
Let
the
contract
yet
and
I
agree
that
what
we
need
to
be
doing
is
if
we
want
to
look
at
a
tiered
system,
and
I
would
like
to
look
at
the
legal
ramifications,
because
and
I'll
tell
you,
where
they're
going
to
come
from
they're
going
to
come
from
being
discriminatory,
because
the
older
properties
are
more
ranch-style
and
spread
out.
Newer
properties
go
up
vertically,
so
in
this
city,
perhaps
the
more
affluent
people
will
be
paying
lower
taxes
because
of
design,
and
it
I
think
I.
O
Could
see
that's
where
challenges
might
come
from
so
I'm
thinking
that
what
I
would
like
to
do,
mr.
chair
is
when
you're
ready
entertain
a
motion
to
go
along
with
councilman
Henderson's
concerns.
I
see
no
one
else
in
the
in
the
queue.
So
if
councilman,
wood
or
I'll
make
it
for
him,
we
need
to
go.
Get
rid
of
that
scope.
Yeah.
K
O
K
K
K
G
L
K
Okay,
all
right.
That
sounds
great
one
more
thing
I'd
like
to
say
about
this:
before
we
move
on
to
transportation,
just
get
back
into
history,
a
little
bit
I'm
the
one
that
probably
complained
the
most
about
this
being
an
equitable
and,
in
my
opinion
it
was
recessive
and,
in
my
opinion,
is
while
there
are
dangers
in
a
tiered
system
and
possibly
they
haven't
been
tested.
Possibly
they
have
somewhere
by
now.
K
I
know
that
charging
everybody
the
same
residentially
is
totally
inequitable
and
I'll
argue
that,
to
my
grave
and
in
a
couple
years,
we're
all
going
to
be
judged
on
what
we
did
about
inequity,
not
what
we
said
about
inequity
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
move
in
that
direction,
and
thank
you
for
all
for
your
help.
Thank
you.
You
did
great.
Thank
you.
Congratulations
to
all
the
Award
winners,
mr.
Bailey.
R
D
K
J
M
M
R
The
name
was
miss
printed
on
the
resolution.
It's
sorry!
It's
not
addressing
your
question.
I
just
wanted
to
this
is
a
temporary
use.
So
it's
a
it's
a
non
permanent
permit
application
that
allows
them
to
use
the
sidewalk.
We
assured
that
there's
that
there's
pedestrian
passage
that's
adequate
anytime.
We
do
this.
So
this
is.
That
is
what
this
is
for
is
to
provide
outdoor
dining
on
the
sidewalk
yeah.
J
R
R
R
So
that's
the
only
thing
that
is
any
anything
close
to
not
moving
the
rest
of
its
tables
and
chairs.
To
answer
your
question
about,
we
have
process
for
relocation,
we've
done
three
or
four
V
vocations
to
this
body
and
typically
when
we
do
a
relocation,
we
bring
it
to
this
body
just
to
assure
that
we're
in
the
right
spot,
there's
not
a
sunset
clause.
R
These
are
but
they're,
not
there's
not
an
expiration
date,
and
especially
in
the
case
of
these
restaurants,
they
they
plan
to
use
the
sidewalk
and
generally,
if
you
think,
that's
a
good
thing
to
have
people
on
sidewalks
face
the
sidewalk
feel
safer
when
there's
people
on
it.
So
we
don't,
we
don't
see
a
need
to
provide
an
expiration
date.
No.
J
R
And
also
your
first
question:
we
do
because
we
do
these
there's
boilerplate
language
that
assures
that
accessibility
is
maintained
and
bullet
number
two
indicates
that
that
anything
that
they
put
in
the
right-of-way
must
comply
with
eighty
eight
standards
and
minimum
clearances
for
pedestrian
traffic
within
the
right-of-way,
which
typically
I,
think
we
require
at
least
five
feet,
our
sidewalks
for
clearance,
sometimes
more
than
that,
depending
on
the
amount
of
pedestrian
traffic.
That's
there.
So
if.
J
R
K
I
All
right
good
afternoon,
everyone
welcome
to
a
special
edition
of
our
planning
and
zoning
committee
meeting
can
I
get
approval
of
our
minutes
from
our
last
meeting.
Thank
you
very
good.
Before
we
begin
mr.
Bridger
I
know
you're
around
here
somewhere
here.
I
think
president
accounted
for
I
wanted
to
read
something
to
kind
of
open
up,
to
try
to
further
explain
what
we
are
trying
to
accomplish.
I
Recently
we
held
a
public
hearing
on
and
asked
for
input
from
the
public
and
stakeholders
and
anybody
who
wanted
to
voice
their
concern
regarding
steep-slope
and
floodplain
development
within
the
city
limits
of
Chattanooga
prior
to
this
public
meeting.
Stakeholders
in
the
community
were
also
asked
to
participate
with
comments,
suggestions
and
concerns.
It
was
interesting.
I
was
asked
this
Saturday
at
the
housing
connections
conference.
Why
is
this
important?
And
why
now-
and
that
was
a
great
question
and
partly
answered
in
my
opening
statements
prior
to
last
week's
public
hearing
on
this
subject.
I
In
short,
this
is
important
because
we
have
a
lack
of
clear
expectations.
We
have
no
measurable
criteria
or
standards
to
evaluate
rezoning
request
when
it
comes
to
seep
slopes
and
floodplains.
83%
of
rezoning
request
from
2013
to
2018
83%
of
these
cases
close
to
600
is
that
right.
Mr.
Bridger
were
for
steep
slopes
or
floodplains
or
both,
and
the
third
point
that
was
been
very
important
to
me
since
I
ran
for
City
Council
was
that
I
realized
that
after
May
15
2015
6
property
without
a
referendum
over
or
by
owner
consent.
I
This
is
important
and
I
stressed
this
again
on
how
we
develop
and
how
we
redevelop
within
our
boundaries
while
maintaining
and
serving
the
needs
of
a
growing
population.
It
is
essential
that
we
we
be
responsible
in
future
developments
and
stronger
stewards
of
the
land
that
we
have.
So
let
me
also
remind
you
in
those
opening
statements
that
our
future
action
is
not
intended
to
hinder
or
cause
complications
for
developers
or
home
builders,
but
to
set
forth
clarity
in
standards
and
defined
expectations.
I
This
council
recognizes
the
need
for
more
housing
opportunities
and
choices,
and
this
process
will
include
citizens,
developers,
home
builders,
city
planners
and
any
other
concerned
persons
who
may
have
helpful
and
useful
information.
In
short,
this
is
a
collaborative
effort
in
which
I
think
this
council
and
the
staff
of
RP
a
and
L
do
for
its
support,
as
we
journey
to
understand,
options
and
best
use
practices
for
generations
to
come.
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
councilman
Mitchell
just
a
moment
ago
when
he
made
a
similar
statement.
I
I
believe
everyone
on
this
council
believe
believes
in
leaving
things
better
than
they
found
it,
and
that's
why
this
is
this.
Endeavor
is
so
important,
there's
no
better
time
than
now
when
our
city
is
experiencing
economic
growth
and
innovation
is
at
the
forefront
of
almost
every
conversation.
Communication
will
be
key
and
every
opinion
will
be
considered
as
we
move
through
a
very
transparent
and
thorough
process.
I
S
That
has
been
drafted
on
the
resolution
itself.
You
would
ask
staff
to
kind
of
develop
some
language
and
I
work
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office.
Nobody
is
a
craftsman
language
for
an
interim
regulations
until
we
develop
the
long
term
solution
and
that's
what
we've
done
and
I
don't
if
you
have
I
do
have
screen.
S
S
Well,
that's
coming
up
I'll
give
you
some
highlights
and
then,
as
it
catches
up
with
put
it
on
the
screen,
I
think
the
first
thing
was
as
I
understand
again.
The
direction
we
see
from
Council
was
to
develop
some
kind
of
interim
regulations
that
would
deal
with
the
interim
slide
flood
plain
that
PDF,
the
third
one
from
the
look
from
the
left,
anteroom
slow
down.
Thank
you.
S
S
S
I
can
I'm
just
going
to
give
the
highlights
from
and
then
you
follow
me
along
I
hope
pretty
well,
okay,
one
was
it
basically
learned.
They
were
best
to
do
that
through
the
stormwater
permit.
It's
set
up
to
deal
with
you,
typically
looking
at
grading
or
filling.
So
that's
the
part
of
city
code
that
this
amendment
would
focus
on,
and
a
guy
do
emphasize
that
this
would
be
an
interim
resolution
that
would
sunset
on
May,
20,
May,
1st
2019
again,
the
the
two
key
items
of
that
would
be
look
first.
S
Looking
at
the
steep
slopes,
it
would
basically
state
that
no
more
than
20
percent
of
a
steep
slope
on
any
development
property
defined
as
having
a
vertical
rise
divided
by
the
horizontal
run
that
exceeds
0.33
shall
be
great
or
clear.
So,
if
you
have,
let's
say
if
you
got
100
acres
on
a
property
and
you've
got
five
acres
that
are
steep
slopes
that
meet
that
slope
definition,
then
only
20%
of
that
five
acres
can
be
graded.
That
was
how
that
rule
would
be
applied.
S
Thank
you
right
back
one
more!
Please
there
you
go!
Thank
you,
I'm!
No!
More
than
fifty
percent
of
a
floodplain
on
any
development
property
as
to
find
a
division.
You
can
see
the
division
section
of
the
code
shall
be
filled
or
cleared
again.
Those
are
pretty
typical
from
what
you've
seen
in
looking
at
me
like
it's
Knoxville
or
particularly
Nashville,
and
then
the
50%
fill
is
something
that
both
Knoxville
Nashville
do.
So
as
far
as
the
baseline,
that's
pretty
comparable
to
what
those
cities
are
doing.
Good
next
slide,
please.
S
Portion
the
I
think
this
one
came
to
clean
topics
on
the
LDO
staff,
because
there
had
been
some
concerns
about,
like
a
residential
dwelling,
going
up
prior
to
a
retaining
wall
being
installed
and
thought.
There's
a
niche
or
some
language
to
be
clear
about
that.
If
you
have
a
steep
slope
that
you
raid
on
and
you've
got
a
retaining
wall,
that's
required.
S
Q
Q
Yeah
we
currently
under
the
the
code
and
it's
actually
38:35
of
the
city
code
and
tennessee
code
entertained,
13,
3,
4,
13
and
13
for
3
10
make
provisions
for
when
a
site
plan
becomes
offers
vested
rights,
and
normally
that
has
to
be
something
that
has
been
approved
by
the
planning
agency
or
the
Planning
Commission
here
in
connection
with
a
development
site
plan,
and
if
it's
not
been
approved
in
that
regard,
then
there
would
not
be
vested
rights
under
state
law.
Yeah
I
think.
S
Yeah
I'm
sure
you'll
hear
some
I
think
what
I
would
urge
you
in
terms
of
caution
and
thinking
about
this
as
I
know,
there's
a
desire
to
kind
of
at
least
protect
properties
until
we
developed
a
long
term
tool.
I
think
also
be
mindful
that
folks
are
in
the
middle
of
projects
and
so
how
this
affects
somebody
who's
in
the
midstream
or
second
or
first
third
quarter
of
a
project.
How
that
affect
that,
so
I
think
that's
something
to
think
about.
I
think
before
we
decide
to
move
forward
with
this.
Well.
I
I
couldn't
agree
with
you
more
John,
I
mean
that
is
not
our
intent
at
all
is
to
is
to
curtail
or
to
cause
complexity
for
anything,
that's
in
the
works,
our
job
and
our
mission
is
to
create
something
and
to
find
a
balance.
I
mean
we
do
not
have
anything,
and
other
cities
have
and
had
in
action
already
since
as
five
to
seven
years
ago,
yeah
so
I
think
what
we're
doing
is
is
in
the
spirit
of
creating
balance
for
developers
and
our
city
and
its
citizens.
I
So
please
don't
think
that
we
are
taking
any
kind
of
aggressive
action
and
we
are
here
to
discuss
the
resolution
that
we
are
that
has
put
before
us.
I
do
want
to
note
on
your
screen.
It's
38
35
for
those
of
you
who
are
falling
along
on
the
screen
is
our
vested
property
rights
section,
not
45.
That
section
is
reserved
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
at
this
time
I
have
been
asked
to
hear
a
few
moments
from
stakeholders
from
home
builders
and
I'm.
I
Going
to
ask
the
council,
which
you'd
like
to
hear
that
presentation
or
those
comments
now
for
questions,
Rijal
ike,
to
go
to
questions
and
very
good
if
everyone
is
okay
with
that,
it
was
asked
to
me-
and
then
I
mentioned
earlier,
that
this
process
is
transparent
and
I
want
it
to
be
thorough,
and
I
want
to
hear
as
many
as
opinions
as
possible.
So
I
was
asked
for
some
time
during
this
committee
meeting
to
make
a
presentation
by
the
home
builders
and
if
that,
if
they
are
prepared
and
ready,
I
think
it's
mr.
I
P
P
For
getting
started,
I
would
like
to
recognize
those
members
of
building
industry
that
are
are
present
here
today.
If
you
could
just
raise
your
hands
and
they're
here,
primarily
just
to
show
their
support
for
not
approving
in
amendment
or
resolution
at
this
time,
which
could
possibly
result
in
a
de
facto
moratorium
on
development
in
the
Chattanooga
area.
I
like
that
term
de
facto
feel
now,
but
taught
me
that
about
30
years
ago,
but
if,
if
I
may
and
I
do
have
a
copy
of
this
statement
for
the
stenographer.
P
But
if
I
could
read
a
statement
into
the
record
on
behalf
of
Home
Builders
Association,
the
members
of
the
Home
Builders
Association
of
Greater
Chattanooga
are
proud
residents
of
the
Chattanooga
area
and
have
had
a
long
term
commitment
to
work
with
elected
officials
and
others
in
common
efforts
to
maintain
and
continue
to
improve
the
communities
in
which
we
all
live.
It
is
our
mission
to
do
this,
while
striving
to
keep
affordable
housing
for
the
largest
possible
spectrum
of
current
and
potential
residents
of
our
city.
P
A
major
challenge
in
accomplishing
this
affordability
goal
is
the
continuous
implementation
of
new
government
regulations
which
have
a
negative
X
on
the
price
of
housing.
Professional
studies
that
are
based
on
the
Chattanooga
area,
medium
household
income
show
that
over
500
households
are
priced
out
of
their
ability
to
purchase
a
new
home
for
every
$1,000
increase
in
price.
The
administrator
of
economic
and
Community
Development
for
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
Donna
Williams,
recently
stated
that
and
quoting
her.
The
last
thing
that
they
wanted
to
do
is
put
in
more
regulations.
P
They
just
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
enforcing
the
present
regulations.
The
negative
impact
when
affordability
is
especially
and
significantly
increased
when
regulations
are
implemented
in
the
form
of
a
moratorium.
The
current
proposal
and
steep-slope
slash
floodplains
will
have
the
practical
effect
of
a
moratorium
on
new
development
developers
currently
in
the
design
and
engineering
stages,
and
they
would
have
to
go
on
hold
until
final
regulations
were
enacted
to
ensure
their
projects
would
be
feasible.
P
In
many
cases
they
have
purchased
land
at
prices
that
would
make
their
development
of
the
land
that
they
purchase
under
the
current
regulations,
not
financially
feasible.
For
the
development
under
the
new
proposed
restrictions,
or
cause
significantly
higher
cost,
which
translates
to
higher
home
prices
in
most
cases,
in
addition
to
the
investment
in
the
land,
they
have
invested
thousands
of
dollars
and
pre
development
expenses.
P
Many
of
the
developers
who
were
prepared
to
purchase
land
for
development
would
be
forced
to
defer
their
purchases,
which
would
slow
the
number
of
available
Lots
for
new
homes,
which
would
also
drive
up
housing
prices.
This
short
notice
of
new,
more
strenuous
regulations
without
considerably
more
vetting,
is
not
a
reasonable,
fair
or
responsible
approach
to
take
the
city
of
Chattanooga
already
has
a
shortage
of
developed
Lots
ready
for
a
new
home
construction.
This
new
proposal
limits
new
home
availability
and
results
in
driving
up
the
prices
of
a
limited
number
of
new
homes
that
are
available.
P
Not
only
will
this
proposed
change
increase
housing
prices,
it
would
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
thousands
of
local
employees.
Our
industry
supports
both
directly
and
indirectly.
It
also
has
the
potential
to
limit
the
substantial
contributions
the
housing
industry
makes
in
property
taxes
and
sales
tax
revenues
to
help
support
the
many
services
the
city
of
Chattanooga
provides.
The
current
proposal
also
implements
arbitrary
restrictions
before
a
thorough
review
and
stakeholder
process
can
take
place.
We
don't
feel
this
issue
has
been
thoroughly
vetted.
P
We
are
not
opposed
to
review
these
issues
that
have
been
raised
and
we
are
prepared
to
work
an
apartment
partnership
with
you
and
other
stakeholders
to
reach
a
balanced
determination
regarding
the
issues
that
have
been
presented,
we're
respectfully
requesting
that
our
concerns
be
taken
into
consideration
by
not
instituting
a
moratorium
that
will
contribute
to
the
escalating
home
affordability
problem
and
accept
our
sincere
offer
to
work
in
partnership
with
you
and
others
to
reach
a
balanced
and
effective
outcome
on
the
issues
before
us.
Thank
you
thank.
P
I
S
I
So
you
can
see
where
my
colleagues
are
going
Mr
Price.
This
was
not
designed
to
be
a
back
and
forth
today.
This
was
a.
We
would
love
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say
and
we
will
get
this
in
written
format.
I
know
as
well
for
us
to
study.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr.
price,
for
your
cooperation
and
thank
you
for
coming.
Mr.
Bennett
I
have
some
lights
on,
so
we
will
move
on
to
councilman
Mitchell.
K
S
K
Q
Actually
that
section
talks
about
if
you've
ever
approved
a
preliminary
subdivision,
plat
or
a
final
subdivision
plat
or
any
final
plat
that
has
been
approved
by
the
planning
agency
on
their
Planning
Commission.
So
it
actually
goes
through
the
stages
of
looking
at
Planned
Unit
development.
It
goes
through
the
references
to
a
subdivision
plat
that
may
be
on
file
for
an
area
any
mixed
use
zone,
open
space,
subdivision
options.
We
put
a
whole
group
of
areas
that
were
included
on
what
would
be
allowing
vested
property
rights
to
start
so.
S
J
J
S
S
J
S
Is
the
way
that
would
take
places
you'd
have
to
like
you
do
the
lens
to
be
permit?
You
would
need
it.
You
have
some
kind
of
a
plan
that
shows
your
topo
I'm,
assuming
that's
part
of
the
engineering
and
then
based
on
that
plan,
that's
submitted.
You
would
identify
all
the
areas
that
are
basically
30
percent,
33
percent
gray
or
higher,
and
then
you
would
calculate
that
that
total
area
is
right
on
your
site
plan.
S
T
Think
you
mentioned
contiguous
as
John
said
earlier.
If
you
had
100
acres
and
he
had
five
acres,
he
had
five
separate
acre.
You
could
decide
20
percent
of
that.
As
a
total,
you
know,
do
you
want
to
do
20%
of
each
acre
or
do
you
want
to
clear
one
acre,
unlike
the
other
four
alone?
That's
how
I
would
that's
how
I
understand
so.
T
J
T
Yep
well,
this
would
do
was
if
you're,
if
you're,
going
to
use
a
retaining
wall
to
stabilize
your
sleep,
steep
slope,
you
got
to
build
a
retaining
wall,
because
we've
had
a
couple
instances
where
they
come
back
and
say:
I
can't
build
a
wall
now,
because
the
house
was
in
the
way.
So
now
the
person
sitting
there
with
a
vertical
slope
on
their
house
and
everybody's
saying
it
can't
be
okay,.
T
I
P
Anyone
involved
in
the
home
building
industry
is
going
to
be
impacted,
I
think
especially
construction
companies,
building
material
providers.
If
the
building
for
any
reason
is
halted
or
slowed
down,
then
you
know
not
only
are
building
employees,
construction
workers
going
to
be
impacted
by
lack
of
job
opportunities,
but
the
construction
companies,
the
building
material
suppliers,
lumber
companies
are
all
going
to
be
impacted
because
their
businesses,
their
livelihood,
absolutely
depends
on
the
trade
received
from
home
builders.
You
know,
that's
that's
where
most
of
their
products
go
to
and.
H
P
Be
impacted
by
overly
strict
regulations,
not
only
right
now,
there's
a
shortfall
of
all
types
of
housing
from
low-income
housing
to
to
high
end
housing,
and
if
something
happens
that
causes
that
that
development
to
to
be
slowed
down
or
to
be
further
restricted
or
even
prohibited.
In
some
cases,
then
all
of
those
home
categories
are
going
to
be
impacted,
I
would
say
particularly
affordable
housing,
since
there
is
a
very
severe
shortage
at
the
present
time.
P
You
know
the
hope-
and
there
was
a
conference
that
I
attended
last
weekend
on
that
very
subject
that
dealt
with
the
availability
or
succinctly:
the
lack
of
available
available
'ti
of
affordable
housing
and
how
that
also
contributes
to
the
homeless
situation.
It
all
ties
together,
but
ultimately
it
comes
back
to
the
developers
being
able
to
produce
a
product
and
the
more
restricted
they
are.
P
The
less
product
is
created,
the
fewer
houses
are
built
and
that's
going
to
drive
up
the
housing
market,
which
is
in
effect,
going
to
exclude
many
of
those
persons
who
are
looking
for
affordable
housing
from
that
market.
You
know
it
affects
everyone
in
in
each
of
those
income
categories,
especially
those
seeking
affordable
housing
in.
H
P
Great
well
not
that
they
can't
afford
to
build
it's
just
that
they
are
unable
to
build
hey,
I,
think
one
main
point
and
John
Bridger
brought
this
out
very
well
at
his
last
presentation.
To
to
this
council
is
that
Moe
in
this
area
in
southeast
Tennessee,
most
of
the
flatland
developable
land
is
gone.
P
The
only
thing
left
to
develop
in
this
area
and
if
you
drive
around
and
look
at
the
existing
subdivisions
that
even
ones
that
are
being
proposed
considered
right
now,
their
own
slope
properties
pretty
much
all
that's
left
in
this
area
or
properties
that
have
some
degree
of
slope.
You
know
some
severe
slopes,
some
moderate,
you
know
some
light
slopes,
but
they
all
have
some
degree
of
slope
and
most
of
them
to
one
degree
or
another
or
within
the
floodplain
or
100-year
flood
area.
P
Historically,
someone
mentioned
the
fact
that
most
83%
of
85%
of
the
zoning
cases
involve
property
that
had
either
flooding
or
steep
slope
characteristics,
and
the
fact
is
that
all
development
up
to
this
point
in
has
been
allowed
in
the
floodplain
or
in
the
hundred-year
flood
area.
As
long
as
that,
property
is
filled
to
a
level
one
foot
above
base
flood
elevation.
All
development
has
been
permitted
up
to
this
point
so
to
restrict
floodplain
development
to
50%
of.
What's
out,
there
would
involve
a
considerable
amount
of
property.
P
P
You
know
best
development
practice
to
make
sure
that
whenever
they're
developing
own
slopes
or
filling
within
a
floodplain
that
they're
taking
every
measure
that
they
possibly
can
to
be
sure
that
adjacent
properties
are
not
harmed
by
excessive
water
runoff,
which
is
what
I
understand,
is
the
primary
concern
of
the
citizens
that
have
been
before
this
body
that
new
development
on
slopes
could
possibly
create
additional
runoff.
But
there's
also
as
I'm
sure.
Your
attorney
can
tell
you
ample
legal
local
precedent
for
those
people
that
have
not
taken
the
measures
that
they
need
to.
P
You
know
and
the
courts
have
sided
with
the
persons
that
have
been
damaged
because
of
excessive
water
runoff
from
new
development.
So
every
developer
that
I
know
is
very
aware
of
that
situation.
They
all
take
extreme
measures.
They
do
everything
that
they
can
to
make
sure
that
that
does
not
happen
number
one,
because
they
want
to
have
sustainable
developments.
P
They
want
to
create
a
product
that
is
welcome
within
all
areas
and
they
obviously
don't
want
to
run
afoul
of
the
law
and
again
there
is
ample
precedent
that
says:
no,
that's
not
something
that
you
want
to
do
so
they
incorporate
into
their
development
practices
everything
that
is
necessary
to
make
sure
those
concerns
are
always
address.
I
appreciate.
I
You
mr.
Bennett
I
do
want
to
remind
the
council
that
we
are
in
committee
meeting,
and
this
is
not
a
public
hearing.
So
as
much
as
I
welcome
everyone's
questions.
I
would
ask
that
you
reach
out
to
mr.
Bennett
with
any
questions
that
you
might
have,
and
so
they
have
an
ample
opportunity
to
answer
them
throughout
the
week.
But
we
are
in
a
committee
meeting,
and
this
is
a
special
session-
that
we
are
trying
to
gain
more
information
from
them
and
I
do
have
one
more
light
and
that
is
doctor
burse.
Please.
O
O
Q
J
P
The
really
at
this
point
in
time
all
the
home
builders
are
asking
for
is
before
any
new
resolution
or
regulation
has
passed.
Even
a
temporary
measure
is
that
they
be
afforded
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
John
and
his
staff
of
our
PA
and
any
other
interested
stakeholders
to
discuss
these
issues
and
then
and
hopefully
come
to
some
some
agreement
as
to
what
achieves
a
good
balance
between
the
concerns
of
area
citizens
and
the
the
needs
of
the
community
for
ending
housing
and
the
opportunities
for
home
builders
to
continue
to
fulfill
that
need.
When.
P
I'm
I'm
sure
that
that
group
would
be
comprised
of
actual
home
builders
as
well
as
representatives
such
as
myself.
But
the
main
thing
is
that
they
are
just
requesting
the
opportunity
to
to
meet
with
staff
to
meet
with
others
that
are
interested
to
discuss
any
potential
regulations
and
the
impact
it
may
have
on
both
current
and
and
future
development.
So.
P
That's
correct,
you
know
we
were
presented
with
a
proposal
that
does
impact
development
on
both
slopes
and
in
floodplains,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
things
to
consider.
You
know
just
just
before
adopting
a
general
regulation,
I'm
not
saying
that
that's
what's
being
proposed
as
bad
I'm,
not
saying
that
what's
being
proposed
is
good
I'm,
saying
that
it
just
hasn't
been
afforded
the
opportunity
to
be
considered
by
all
those
who
would
be
impacted
by
the
adoption.
Thank.
I
P
Great
I
was
saying
that
I
wasn't
I,
wasn't
making
a
judgement
at
this
point
as
to
what
me,
personally
as
to
what
was
better
good
just
that
you
know
there
has
not
been
the
opportunity
to
look
at
it
in
depth
to
determine
what
the
problems
are
on
the
surface.
It
does
appear
that
it
would
have
a
negative
impact,
at
least
on
some
current
developments
that
are
being
proposed,
understood.
I
I
So,
if
there
is
any
kind
of
information
and
I
do
applaud
councilman,
and
for
asking
that
very
direct
question,
if
you
have
solutions
to
help
us-
and
please
present
them
and
present
them
quickly,
because
this
is
an
important
task,
this
is
something
that
we
deal
with
on
a
regular
basis.
We
see
a
Planning
Commission.
We
see
on
this
council
and
I
think
that
we
want
to
create
a
balanced
situation
working
with
everyone,
and
so
I
would
encourage
you
to.
Please
start
that
well,.
P
I
I
would
encourage
that
to
happen,
though,
extremely
fast,
because,
as
we
as
we
notice
with
government
things,
don't
work
as
fast
as
they
need
to
and
I
think
that
we're
committed
to
to
chat
this
challenge
we're
committed
to
working
with
everyone
involved.
We
do
not
want
to
slow
up
progress.
We
do
not
want
to
cause
any
kind
of
complications.
I
We
certainly
don't
want
to
create
shortages
of
any
kind,
especially
when
it
comes
to
housing
and
jobs,
and
this
is
something
that
I
think
that
we
we
are
moving
forward
with
quickly
and
I,
appreciate
your
willingness
to
come
appreciate
you
reaching
out
to
me
and
coming
and
speaking
before
us
and
everyone
who
came
to
support
this
because
well,
you
know,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
promise
you
we're
all.
On
the
same
side,
we.
I
S
Whenever
you
make
a
decision,
let's
know
I
guess
as
far
as
when
you're
far
as
if
you're
gonna
put
on
the
agenda
or
not.
Well,
you
know
staff
is
already
developing
a
scope
of
work
for
the
long
term
solution
and
we
will
the
next
couple
weeks
present
that
to
the
former,
but
we
just
been
slammed
with
it.
S
I
Pushed
you
a
little
bit
on
this
tonight.
I
know
we
did
and
I
have
one
question
I'd
like
to
ask
the
city
attorney
if
I
can't
mr.
attorney
this
is
not
on
our
20th
agenda,
yet
it
is
not
on
our
agenda
so
for
those
of
you
who
are
looking
at
me
very
intently,
this
is
not
on
our
agenda
yet.
So
please,
please
make
note
of
that.
Any
other
questions
or
comments
on
this
item.
