Chattanooga City Council Agenda Session - 8/15/23
A

A
A
C
You,
madam
chair
I,
do
have
one
under
six
B
and
it's
the
amendment
to
our
short-term
vacation
rental.
It's
interesting
that
yesterday,
at
Planning
Commission
is
my
understanding.
I
know
that
we
had
one
case
I
think
there
were
two
cases
councilman
that
the
the
people
were
requesting
a
commercial
Zone,
but
with
the
condition
of
residential
use,
only
and
short-term
vacation
rentals
and
my
question
I
guess
to
the
City
attorney.
C
Those
are
opposed
to
each
other,
at
least
our
and
I'm,
hoping
that
our
amendment
makes
it
clear
enough
that,
if
you're
rezoning
something
commercial
with
the
condition
of
residential
use,
only
that
that
would
eliminate
the
possibility
of
short-term
vacation
rentals
but
I
think
in
both
of
these
Karen
about
correct.
Both
of
these
the
condition
had
listed
residential
use
only
and
short-term
vacation
rentals.
C
C
D
I'm
referencing,
my
phone
just
so
to
make
sure
an
email
on
my
phone
just
to
make
sure
so
we
had
three
cases
of
Planning
Commission
yesterday
that
were
related
to
commercial
zones
and
short-term
vacation.
Rentals
one
comes
with
will
come
with
a
recommendation
for
a
residential
Zone,
which
negates
the
short-term
vacation.
Rental
in
two
cases
are
coming
with
recommendations
to
rezone
with
one
has
multiple
conditions
with
conditions,
so
we
have
two
coming
four
that'll
be
commercial
with
residential
and
short-term
vacation.
Use
only
is
one
of
the
conditions.
C
D
So
I
don't
think
the
amendment
that's
on
next
week's
agenda
that
we've
discussed
a
couple
times.
That
is
only
if
there's
a
condition
residential
use
only
and
it's
not
clear
about
short-term
vacation
rentals,
so
I
think
that
the
workaround
for
that
is
requesting
a
commercial
Zone,
but
limiting
it
to
residential
and
short-term
vacation
rentals,
enabling
them
to
do
the
short-term
vacation
rental
use.
D
So
I
think
that
it
is
acknowledgment
that
the
commercial
zone
is
the
Zone
needed
for
an
absentee
short-term
vacation
rental,
but
that
the
whole
realm
of
uses
in
the
commercial
Zone
like
a
C2
or
ugc,
is
more
expansive
than
they
would
want
to
request
as
part
of
the
rezoning
request,
so
they're
limiting
just
those
uses,
even
though
it's
a
full
commercial
zone.
So
I'm
not
completely
answering
your
question
but
I
think
that
is
the
next
step
in
the.
D
If
you,
if,
with
council's
action,
saying
as
a
commercial
Zone
residential
use,
only
does
it
means
not
an
absentee,
so
the
work
around
is
a
rezoning
to
commercial
Zone
with
this
allowing
a
residential
use
only
and
short-term
vacation
rental.
So
that's
like
the
next
step
in
the
progression,
I
believe,
which
is
why
we
have
zoning
cases
now
saying.
Okay,
residential
use
only
means
no
absentee
so
I'm
allowing
I'm
asking
for
short-term
vacation
rental
now
too,
but
it
has
to
be
in
that
commercial
Zone
based
on
all
ordinance.
So.
C
C
C
You
could
only
have
short-term
vacation
rental
where
a
motel
could
be
located
where
a
motel
could
physically
be
built.
Yeah
I
mean
I,
don't
know.
Does
our
Amendment
need
to
say
that?
Because,
when
you
in
your
condition,
if
you
condition
it
to
I,
mean
I
I,
don't
think
I
could
condition
it
to
residential
use.
Only
and
motel
use
could
I.
D
Could
I
do
that?
That
could
be
done,
but
you're
right.
The
current
Amendment
doesn't
do
that
and
the
current
amendment
is
intended
to
clarify
for
staff
and
in
the
ordinance
what
council's
desire
is.
So
we
had
drafted
that
text
prior
to
getting
these
cases.
So
if
counsel's
desire
is
that
commercial?
If
you?
Basically,
if
you
don't
allow,
have
the
use
of
a
motel
in
a
commercial
Zone,
then
you
don't
get
an
absentee
short-term
vacation
route.
I.
C
D
Then
so
we
could
draft.
If
you
know,
if
directed
we
could
we
have
an
alternate
version
number
two:
we
can
revise
the
language
in
there
that
says
it
there.
So,
basically
it's
not
the
condition
use,
but
basically,
if
the
zoning
with
conditions
does
not
allow
a
motel
use,
then
there
can
be
no
short-term
vacation
rental.
Unless
you
get
a
motel
use,
that's
the
only
time
you
can
have
an
absentee
short-term
vacation
rental,
so
anytime,
any
use
is
restricted,
except
for
motels.
D
C
D
C
C
You
know
it
just
seems
like
like
you,
you
you're
calling
to
work
around
and
that's
it
seems
like
what
we've
sort
of
created
is
a
is
a
workaround
when,
when
our
intent,
I
think
was
very
clear,
you
know
if
it's
not
appropriate
for
a
motel
to
be
in
that
spot,
then
it's
not
appropriate
for
a
short-term
vacation,
rental
and
I'm,
not
sure.
We've
still
got
the
language
that
reflects.
D
That
it
doesn't
currently
no
and
so
the
only
time
if
all
those
zones
allow
motels
the
only
time
you
would
start
to
limit
zones
would
be
through
the
use
of
conditions.
So
I
think
tweaking
that
language
about
when
a
condition
says
this.
It
means
this
is
still
the
best
place
to
address
what
you're
mentioning
so
so.
C
B
You,
madam
chair
councilman,
Henderson
I,
agree
with
you
100
in
the
intent
and
I
think
I'm
hearing
the
same
sentiments
echoed
here
on
the
diocese,
so
I
think
we're
all
in
agreement.
So
if
it
does
require
an
alternate
version,
number
three
I
would
like
to
see
that
repaired.
We
are
ahead
of
new
TCA
rules
on
putting
that
on
the
agenda
for
next
week,
I
believe.
Even
so
we
can
get
that
done.
Asap
I
think
that
was
clarify
and
also
coming
through
PC.
Remember,
Council
does
have
the
final
decision
on
those
zoning
cases
so.
A
A
A
A
F
F
Thank
you,
I'm
the
Strategic
partnership
coordinator
for
Hamilton,
County,
Schools
and
I'm
thrilled
to
continue
being
the
program
manager
for
HTS
egg
connect
and
to
be
back
in
front
of
you
today
with
our
annual
update
here
at
the
end
of
year.
Three,
as
we
run
into
year,
four
of
this
program
and
I'm
joined
today
with
Jeff
milliner
from
the
Enterprise
Center
and
Evan
Freeman
from
EPB,
who
will
introduce
themselves
and
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
today
as
well.
So,
of
course,
just
quick
overview.
F
We
are
connecting
nearly
17
000
students
at
this
point
through
HDs,
at
connect
to
high-speed
Wi-Fi,
either
through
EPB
or
by
connecting
them
to
a
hot
spot.
This
continues
to
be
a
support
for
our
students,
who
have
economic
need,
so
we're
identifying
those
students
who
are
enrolled
in
free
introduced.
Lunch
attend
a
school
where
all
students
have
access
to
free
and
reduced
lunch
or
are
identified
by
the
state
as
needing
economic
support,
because
of
some
reason
or
another
there's
about
17
things
that
count
them
as
economically
disadvantaged.
F
But
that's
a
pretty
significant
number
of
our
students
here
in
Hamilton
County
schools,
and
we
continue
to
connect
more
every
day,
so
just
a
quick
overview
of
what
it
looks
like
throughout
the
city.
What
I
think
this
map
always
shows
us
is
that,
first
of
all,
our
our
pockets
of
need
are
aligned
with
our
pockets
of
connection.
F
Of
course,
in
our
Urban
core,
but
I
think
this
continues
to
be
a
program
that
supports
families
and
students
across
our
community,
regardless
of
the
type
of
neighborhood
that
they're
in
and
that's
something
I
hope.
All
of
you
have
heard.
Dr
Robertson's
new
strategic
plan
opportunity
2030
for
Hamilton
County
Schools,
where
we
specifically
identify
one
of
our
five
commitments
is
that
every
single
Community
is
served
through
Hamilton,
County,
Schools
programs
and
and
Ed
connect
absolutely
speaks
to
that
up.
F
Specifically,
we
got
to
talk
about
why
it
was
so
important
to
be
connected
to
high-speed
internet
as
a
first
day
of
school
resource.
We
know
that
students
can't
learn
at
home
if
they
don't
have
access
to
the
internet.
That's
just
the
way
the
world
works
at
this
point,
and
we
also
recognize
that
families
who
have
internet
at
home
have
a
better
opportunity
to
connect
with
their
teachers
to
connect
with
their
schools.
F
So
this
just
continues
to
be
one
of
our
resources
that
it's
super
imperative
for
students
to
have
access
to
when
they
come
back
to
us
on
the
first
day
of
school.
So
we're
thrilled
to
be
able
to
do
that
this
year
at
our
back
to
school
bash
with
the
city
and
the
county.
Of
course,
I
think
at
this
point
we're
trying
we're
looking
looking
ahead
to
the
future
with
Ed
connect
right
and
what
does
it
mean
for
our
students,
as
we
really
focus
in
on
them
being
future
ready?
F
So
you'll
see
our
our
kind
of
tagline
up
there
connected
competitive
and
life-ready
graduates
and
one
of
the
primary
ways
that
we
know
Ed
connect
plays
into
that
is.
It
gives
students
the
opportunity
to
search
for
scholarships
to
apply
for
colleges
to
apply
for
jobs,
all
of
those
things
that
they're
going
to
start
doing
junior
senior
year
to
get
ready
for
graduation
connecting
to
apprenticeship
programs
taking
ownership
over
their
own
six-year
planning
process
that
they
now
start
in
middle
school.
F
G
This
work
has
a
national
profile
just
presented
at
iste
around
the
work
that
we're
doing.
It
really
is
one
of
the
first
instances
of
a
project
that
can
say
this
is
what
changes
when
folks
have
access.
Instead
of
this
is
what
happens
when
students
don't
have
access,
and
so
the
literature
review
that
they've
done
and
made
available.
G
It's
my
gift
truly,
not
really,
and
so
all
of
that
and
a
report
that
we'll
provide
for
each
of
you
with
a
little
bit
more
data
on
your
specific
districts,
happy
to
answer
more
questions,
but
also
all
of
this
is
available
at
edconnect.bc.edu,
making
sure
it's
all
publicly
accessible,
because
we
know
it
has
an
impact
outside
of
our
borders
as
well.
I've
mentioned,
you
know
we're
looking
at
quantitative
data,
some
things
that
are
really
really
important.
G
When
we
talk
about
parent
engagement,
parent
involvement,
access
to
the
internet
is
facilitating
this,
it's
resulting
in
better
connected
families
and
we're
seeing
a
bump
qualitative
data
again.
These
interviews
I
think
this
is
an
important
reminder
from
a
recent
one
that
some
of
those
images
that
we
saw
in
2020
of
students
sitting
in
Taco
Bell
parking
lots
that
hasn't
changed
for
some
families,
but
it
has
changed
here,
as
you
can
see
in
the
story.
G
So
it
is
a
picture
of
our
team
and
folks
from
Hamilton
County
schools
from
EPB
from
the
Enterprise
Center
volunteers,
at
our
day
of
digital
opportunity
for
for
families
at
back
to
school
bash,
we
were
talking
to
and
registering
and
getting
close
connected
in
the
moment.
But
it's
connected
to
the
idea
of
actual
right.
As
we
did
surveying
you
know,
we
have
Trend
data.
We
know
you
know,
honestly
to
the
census,
Block
Level,
how
we're
doing
it
to
the
address
level,
how
we're
doing
connecting
families.
G
G
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
is
use
some
of
our
operational
funds
to
hire
acs's
interpreters
after
hours
to
do
additional
calls
to
families
to
reach
out
making
sure
that
you
know
you're
doing
multilingual
Outreach,
but
additional
help
to
help
them
through
the
registration
process
to
see
a
bump
on
that.
So
just
one
example
of
what
research
data
is
doing
to
make
sure
that
this
program
is
not
about
good
enough.
It's
about
reaching
everyone.
G
H
We're
headed
thanks
chef
and
right
now
on
the
screen,
there's
a
there's,
kids
dancing
and
celebrating
now.
Thank
you
all
for
for
taking
the
time
to.
Let
us
let
us
come
by
you
know
just
to
hit
on
on
the
long-term
commitment
and
then
the
the
investment
that
you
all
as
a
council
made
into
HTS
at
connect.
If
you
look
around
the
country
right
now,
Chicago
is
an
example.
Their
their
programs
are
starting
to
phase
out.
You
know
it
was
a
covet
program
and
so
run
out
of
money.
H
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
the
commitment
and
the
teamwork
when
I
first
heard
about
this
and
Evan
I
appreciate
you
inviting
Council
to
come
and
be
part
of
those
presentations
at
EPB
and
talking
about
this,
especially
even
going
out
Rachel
to
the
rural
areas,
which
is
something
that
I've
talked
about
with
EPB
as
well.
B
That's
that's
great,
because
if
we
don't
have
this
access,
we
hinder
not
only
success
or
competitiveness,
but
the
opportunity
is
just
it's.
Not
there
I
mean
I
I,
see
with
I
mean
I
have
a
14
year
old
started
high
school
today,
I
got
it
it's
not
a
question
whether
or
not
you
have
to
have
it
and
your
commitment
to
providing
it,
especially
when
you
talk
about
phasing
this
out
that
that
never
needs
to
be
an
option.
A
I
I
I
I
But
if
there's
any
questions
that
she
needs
outside
of
my
scope,
I
will
do
my
best
to
navigate
and
get
those
answers
for
her.
But
right
now
my
focus
is
on
the
family,
getting
information
first,
and
that's
when
my
you
know
when
my
concern
is,
is
that
we
make
sure
we
get
vetted
information
out
to
the
family
first
before
we
go
any
further
with
this
and
I.
Don't
know
at
what
point
we'll
be
able
to
go
further
with
this,
but
right
now
my
focus
is
the
immediate
family.
I
A
C
C
I
So
immediately
that
the
evening
of
the
event,
I
was
not
there
before
the
mother
left
the
hospital
it
was
mine.
She
got
to
the
hospital
one
of
my
assistant.
Chiefs
went
there
to
try
to
make
sure
that
the
family
was
accommodated
to
whatever
degree
things
like
the
hospital
being
on
lockdown
and
whatever
access.
They
have
that's
beyond
our
control
as
well,
but
she
was
trying
to
go
there
and
you
know
make
sure
she
navigated
her
family.
She
was
gone
by
the
time.
I
I
got
there,
so
I
made
contact
with
her
I
believe
the
night
that
they
did
the
balloon
release
at
the
gas
station
and
since
then
is
when
I've
been
whether
it
be
Tex,
Mex
messaging
or
a
call
whatever
Comfort
level
she
has
with
that.
Well,
so
there's
no
so
I
think
your
question
was:
is
there
a
protocol
automatically?
You
know.
C
C
E
Councilwoman
coonrod,
thank
you
for
coming
to
explain
like
I,
honestly
didn't
even
know.
None
of
this
had
happened
until
I
received
the
inbox
from
one
of
the
family
members,
because
I
try
to
stay
away
from
the
news,
because
it's
all
the
negative
stuff
more
often
than
positive,
but
I'm
glad
that
you
did
have
the
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
the
family,
because
that
was
their
concern.
Yeah.
She
didn't
get
to
see
her
son
and,
like
I
said
when
hospitals
got
their
own
restrictions,
then
it's
nothing
that
we
can
do
as
a
council.
E
You
can
do
as
a
council
like
that's
the
hospital
now.
My
concern
I
think
that
the
community
they
get
so
upset
when
shootings
happen
with
police
and
community
members,
but
they
direct
that
anger
towards
Council
and
it's
we're,
not
investigators,
we're
not
you
know
attorneys
or
any
of
that
thing
only
thing
we
can
really
do
is
listen,
but
had
they
known,
listen
ahead
of
time,
TBI
is
the
person
that's
investigating,
so
you
can
call
them.
E
You
can
hoop
and
holler
and
scream,
however
you're
feeling
towards
them
or
to
the
district
attorney
Cody
want,
or
let's
call,
the
chief
of
police.
You
know,
so
you
all
can
get
them
some
kind
of
guidance
now
because
of
their
misconception.
They're
gonna
fill
out
counsel
and
beat
us
down
over
something
that
we
don't
even
control
and
we've
seen
how
the
state
legislature
they're
gonna.
They
can
preempt
those
on
anything
that
we
do
so
we
don't
even
have
control
when
it
comes
to
making
different
policies
against
the
police.
E
We
don't
even
control
that,
but
no
one
is
saying
and
when
I
say
it
listen
reach
out
to
your
state
representatives.
If
you
want
changes
in
policies
with
what's
going
on,
I've,
not
seen
no
video
I'm
not
saying
that
I'm
for
or
against
I
just
want
to
operate
on
the
facts,
or
whenever
we
do
get
the
information
released
and
even
tonight,
as
a
council
we're
not
even
we
don't
even
have
anything
to
answer
their
questions
with
right.
I
We're
in
a
similar
position
that
I'm
in
right,
but
you
know
I'm
the
face
of
it
and
I
own
it,
but
I
can
I
can't
I,
don't
even
have
all
the
answers.
I
don't
even
have
all
the
evidence,
because
we're
not
leading
on
the
investigation
and
I
want
to
point
out.
You
know:
do
we
want
it
fast
or
do
we
want
it
right?
You
know
and
I
I
just
need
people
to
you
know
within
the
reach
of
my
ear.
I
You
know
just
being
patient
through
this
I'm
I'm,
very
much
for
everybody
being
heard
in
this
and
and
it's
being
done
properly,
you
know
I
I,
get
it
I.
There's
been
a
lot
hurled
at
me
as
well
and
I
know
and
I.
You
know
I'm,
okay
with
that,
because
if,
if
people
need
answers
the
best
that
I
can
either
answer
it
or
or
find
you,
the
answer,
I
will
and
I
and
I.
Think
that
I
point
out
that
you
know
Statewide
TBI.
I
Does
the
officer
involved
shootings
for
police
agencies
in
the
state?
So
that's
also
somewhat
new
I
guess
to
people
hear
that
it's
not
anything
like
this
is
a
special
place
case
that
had
to
be
transferred
there.
This
is
going
to
be
normal
protocol
from
now
on.
Well,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that,
and
this
is
not
the
first
one
they've
handled
that
they've
had
as
well
for
us.
E
Well,
I
appreciate
you
coming.
Hopefully
you
can
stick
around
at
six
o'clock
I,
just
it's
so
much
hatefulness!
This
spoken
about
the
four
black
Council
people
that
we
don't
care
or
that
we
only
care
if
it's
our
family
member
I've
had
family
members
to
lose
their
lives
through
to
a
different
kind
of
balance,
not
from
the
police.
But
I
do
care
about
my
community,
whether
if
it's
somebody
in
my
family
or
somebody,
that's
non-related,
or
if
it's
a
police
officer.
I
J
E
When
they
leave
they
home
and
their
kids
with
you
know
me
overnight
or
with
somebody
else
like
that,
they
always
had
everything
they
may
or
may
not
make
it
back
home
right
and
for
people
to
say
that
kind
of
stuff
and
to
get
other
people
out
emotionally
and
angry
to
where
they
want
to
cause
an
attack
on
us.
That's
my
concern.
Yes,
because
you
know
I'm
too
old
to
be
having
to
fight
right.
I
E
And
who's
protecting
us
and
when
people
think
oh
well,
we
elected
you
to
serve
and
do
notice
and
do
this.
But
we
didn't
you,
we
weren't
elected
to
be
a
punching
bag
and
we
weren't
elected
for
you
to
just
you
know,
be
nasty
towards
us,
we're
going
to
do
our
job
and
what
it
is.
But
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
protected
too.
I
Totally
understanding
and
I'm
in
the
same
boat,
I
think
I've
had
a
family
member
die
in
custody
of
a
police
officer,
so
I
totally
get
it,
and
when
it's
happening
to
someone
else,
I
totally
get
that
they
don't.
You
know
don't
want
to
hear
anything.
Sometimes
mostly
don't
even
want
to
hear
from
me.
It's
sympathetic,
you
know,
as
I
am
and
passionate
about
people
making
sure
that
they
get
their
answers.
No
matter
what
those
answers
look
like,
but
right
now
tensions
are
high
and
the
best
I
could
do
is
just
keep
communicating
everyone.
B
A
A
E
E
All
right
what
I
just
want
to
tell
y'all
thank
y'all
I,
really
appreciate
the
work
and
the
efforts
that
you're
putting
into
the
community
center
and
for
me
I'm,
being
pulled
I'm
just
gonna,
be
honest
and
I
had
a
meeting
with
Don
and
Ryan.
Earlier
today
we
get
all
this
negative
feedback
from
people
that
work
at
the
community.
Centers
I,
don't
know
what
the
issue
is,
but
for
me
it's
important
that
we
figure
out
what
it
is.
So
we
can
move
the
agenda
forward
right
and
a
lot
of
people
have
said
I
do
get.
E
You
know,
I've
managed
people
before
and
some
people
don't
like
accountability,
especially
when
things
been
going
one
way,
and
you
want
to
try
to
move
things
to
be
another
way.
Then
you
have
those
issues,
but
here's
my
ask
of
you
is
that
if,
whenever
you
all
make
some
kind
of
changes,
if
you
can
allow,
let
council
members
know
ahead
of
time
before
it's
sent
to
the
staff
or
sent
out
publicly.
So
we
can
already
be
prepared
right
about
the
changes.
E
That's
going
to
happen
because
I
should
have
heard,
or
any
of
us
should
have
been
in
a
no
from
you
all
before
I
received
an
email
or
inbox
or
a
text
to
say:
hey
did
you
know,
X,
Y
and
Z
was
taking
place
with
our
sinners.
I,
don't
like
to
be
caught
off
guard
like
that
I
like
to
know
what's
going
on,
you
know,
and
so
for
sister
Jermaine
made
y'all
sit
down,
but
when
he
was
over
the
cylinders,
we
don't
had
this
same.
E
E
Because
if
I
was
a
facility
manager
and
our
centers
will
have
the
crunky
centers,
it's
all
about
how
you
make
it,
but
I
do
want
to
address
the
hours
publicly
because
I'm
sure
they
probably
listening
and
I've
talked
around
them
about
it.
My
concern
isn't
the
fact.
If
anybody
has
any
second
shift
job,
my
concern
like
I've
stated
to
them
is
the
safety
of
the
communities,
the
areas
or
the
centers
that
maybe
that
are
open
and
staying
late
until
eight
o'clock.
E
But
we
have
children
elementary
kids,
sixth
graders
I
mean
six-year-olds
and
that
that
range
they
need
to
be
at
home
eight
o'clock
at
night.
They
don't
need
to
be
still
hanging
around
in
our
Sooners.
We
see
time
and
time
the
data
that
we
get,
that
the
kids
are
coming
to
school,
sleepy,
they
still
hungry
or
they're,
not
prepared.
Our
centers
can
only
do
so
much
and
honestly,
as
a
parent
at
those
hours
of
elementary
kids.
They
need
to
be
getting
ready
for
bed.
They
need
to
spend
time
with
their
parents.
E
E
When
do
they
have
that
time
to
the
bum
with
their
parent?
Some
parents
work
in
third
shift.
As
you
know,
some
going
out
to
the
nightclubs,
they
only
have
that
small
window
and
I
believe
that
that
request
is
not
a
bad
ass
to
say,
hey,
let's
look
at
the
age
group
of
the
kids
and
if
we're
gonna
have
the
hours
open
based
on
what
covet
number
prior
to
Kobe.
E
Okay,
that's
cool
I'm
sure
you
all
probably
got
the
data
to
say
that,
but
what
happens
or
what's
in
place
if
the
parents
aren't
picking
up
these
kids,
it's
happening
now,
even
at
six
o'clock,
but
we're
talking
about
eight
o'clock
and
a
lot
of
these
errors
are
at
risk,
as
you
call
them
high
crime
areas
and
you're,
expecting
these
kids
to
walk
home
late
night,
eight
o'clock
or
so
so
those
are
the
things
that
I'm
concerned
about.
I
can't
speak
for
the
other
council
members.
E
I
know
it
was
brought
up
that
we
at
one
point
said
hey:
why
aren't
these
centers
open
up
late?
Well,
my
people
go
to
the
center.
I
can't
speak
for
nobody
else's
and
when
you're
thinking
about
these
kids
and
the
responsibility,
that's
going
to
fall
on
that
kid.
When
their
parents
say
well,
they
were
supposed
to
be
at
the
center
at
eight
o'clock
at
night,
like
what
is
the
you
know,
I
just
need
to
know
to
make
sure
that
we're
covered,
but
really
we
need
those
elementary
students
to
go
home
earlier
than
eight
okay.
J
So
I
think
that
it
would
probably
be
good
for
us
to
have
a
conversation
offline
with
the
Community
Development
management,
as
well
as
as
as
as
Ryan
just
to
make
sure
Chris
and
Ty.
They
do
great
work
for
the
city
and
I
appreciate
them
being
here
today,
but
they
are.
They
are
mid-level
managers
and
so
typically,
when
we
engage
with
city
council,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
done
at
the
administrator
level
or
higher
so
I
think
what
we
can
do.
J
E
Fine,
but
they
need
to
know
that
we
appreciate
them
too.
We
because,
if
they're
the
ones,
that's
in
our
Center,
that's
why
I
wanted
them
to
come
up
here,
but
to
address
it.
But
I've
spoken
to
Don
and
spoken
to
this
and
I
want
to
say
this
publicly
I'm
I'm
not
sure
where
or
why
our
community
center
workers
feel
like
they
can't
communicate
to
city
council
workers,
and
this
word
retaliation
keep
continue
to
come
up.
E
We
need
to
talk
about
that,
to
see
wider,
Fair
and
like
that,
that
they
can't
communicate
or
engage,
because
nobody
that
worked
for
the
city
of
Chattanooga
should
feel
like
retaliation
is
going
to
happen.
Nobody
we
represent
them
as
our
constituents.
Even
if
they
didn't
work,
I
mean
they
got
a
voice
in
the
matter
too,
and
it's
not
right
to
tell
any
staff
member
that,
oh
don't
talk
to
the
city
councilman
and
that's
maybe
why
people
be
looking
like
they
on
eggshells.
E
When
we
come
around
like
I,
don't
say
nothing,
don't
ask
me
no
questions,
but
it's
your
job.
If
we're
asking
you
questions,
then
just
whatever
it
is
or
we
can
go
talk
to
the
manager,
but
they
should
be
able
to
communicate
their
problems
and
issues
like
anybody
else,
and
it
shouldn't
be
no
kind
of
retaliation
or
their
job
or
no
threats
or
anything
on
their
job
and
and
that's
what's
being
communicated
to
me
to
saying
that
that's
happening
right.
J
But
there
is
a
specific
process
through
human
resources.
If
an
employee
feels
like
they
are
the
victim
or
the
target
of
some
sort
of
retaliatory
attempt-
and
so
we
would
just
I-
would
just
encourage
us
to
make
sure
that
we
remind
employees
of
that,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
addressing
any
anything
along
those
lines
in
the
right
and
appropriate
manner.
