Description
Chattanooga City Council Agenda Session - 3/14/23
A
Welcome
to
our
Tuesday
March
14th
agenda
session
I'll
now
open
the
meeting,
but
I
will
take
a
motion
on
the
minutes.
First.
Thank
you
very
much.
The
minutes
will
stand
without
objection,
ordinances
on
Final
reading
Council,
if
you
would
follow
along
with
me
waste
water
item
which
we
have
covered
in
District,
a
ordinances
on
first
reading.
A
We
do
have
a
Council
Office
item
a
on
the
agenda
for
this
evening,
just
looking
around
okay,
if
you,
while
I'm
looking
down
at
the
agenda,
if
you
would
also
speak
out,
maybe
my
ears
will
pick
up
on
you.
If
you'd
like
to
speak
on
an
item
planning
items
we
have
on
first
reading
this
evening,
we
do
have
a
withdraw
item.
B
A
C
A
Is
okay
under
resolutions
Council
Office,
we
have
three
appointments
to
the
community
advisory
committees.
District
Seven
has
been
busy.
Thank
you
under
Finance,
Ms
Haley
did
give
us
an
update
last
week
explaining
this
is
a
savings
of
substantial
amount
related
to
bonds.
So
we
appreciate
that
update
from
her
doctor
Birds
anything
to
add
on
that
yeah
covered
it
all
right.
Thank
you.
Under
legal,
we
do
have
a
public
hearing
this
evening
on
5619
Clark
Road,
and
then
we
have
a
special
exceptions
permit.
This
is
in
District.
A
Four
I
have
been
tracking
this
very
strongly
with
Ben
Taylor
and
Mr
Price,
and
everything
has
worked
out.
I
believe
ready
to
go
last
I
heard
I'm
looking
around
from
Karen
we're
good,
okay
and
there's
a
lot
of
good
work,
went
into
that
I
appreciate
Mr
Taylor's
efforts
working
with
Mr
Price,
so.
E
The
version
that
I
I
checked
the
link
earlier
today,
the
city
attorney's
office
had
uploaded
it
with
the
revised
PUD
plan.
I
think
it's
the
fourth
or
fifth
agenda
item
in
that
packet,
and
it's
highlight
it's
a
color
item.
Okay,.
F
E
Yes
and
I
double
checked
it
against
the
email
that
we
had
received.
Terrific
just
wanted
to
ensure
we're
voting
on
the
appropriate
version.
That's
the
preferred
newly
revised
plan.
Thank
you.
Fantastic.
A
A
A
Do
the
look
around
the
bias
here
for
questions
the
ordinances
on
Final
reading,
which
we
will
cover
in
our
first
reads
on
planning
this
evening,
moving
into
resolutions
next
week,
Community
advisory
committee,
so
a
Department
of
Economic,
Development
emergency
solution
grants
funds
from
HUD
or
thda.
My
apology.
A
And
another
cdbg
under
mayor's
office,
another
appointment
to
form
base
code
committee
and
under
planning
we
have
an
interagency
agreement.
I
flagged
this
one
Karen.
Will
you
verify
for
us?
That's
a
substantial
amount
of
money
that
I
wanted
to
insure.
It's
not
actually
coming
from
the
city
coffers,
but
that
is
actually
coming
out
of
rpa's
Reserve
fund.
That's
correct!.
E
That's
correct,
as
mentioned,
the
interlocal
agreement
shows
details
that
the
reserve
fund
will
be
used
on
projects,
and
this
will
be
coming
out
of
that
and
it
should
be
in
the
resolution.
Details
provided
very.
A
A
G
A
A
A
See
no
questions
on
future
considerations.
If
you
do
please
reach
out
to
the
administration
departments,
we
have
none.
Today
we
do
have
an
economic
development
committee
and
a
legislative
committee
this
afternoon.
Let
me
also
please
note
that
we
will
need
an
attorney
client
today
after
this
meeting,
yes
Mr
novot,
thank
you
and
also,
if
you
look,
we
do
have
a
public
hearing
scheduled
I
want
to
make
this
public
now
and
then
I'll.
A
H
J
Good
afternoon
so
today
we
have
an
update
from
our
office
of
Workforce
Development,
which
of
course
is
part
of
our
Department
of
Economic
Development.
Today's
update
will
be
provided
by
Clinton
Lawrence,
who
is
our
director
of
Workforce
strategy,
so
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Mr
Lawrence.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
Council
for
this
opportunity
to
present
to
you
today.
Hopefully
I'll
navigate
the
technology
well
for
everyone,
but
again
my
name
is
Clinton
Lawrence,
director
of
Workforce
strategy,
so
I've
been
here
with
the
city
now
since
August
August
15,
and
have
had
a
chance
to
talk
with
a
number
of
you
and
try
to
partner
with
some
of
you
on
some
of
our
Workforce
initiatives
and
so
really
excited
to
be
here
with
you
and
this
year,
a
little
bit
of
what
we've
done
since
I've
been
here.
K
It's
a
little
bit
about
who
we
are
in
a
brief
history,
and
some
of
you
may
already
know.
As
Jermaine
said,
we
are
part
of
the
economic
development
department.
K
We
were
started
in
2018
in
response
to
the
2016
I'm
Bridging,
the
Gap
report
by
the
national
Resource
Network,
and
they
basically
highlighted
they'll
figure
that
housing
costs
were
pretty
high
back
then,
and
they're
low
wages
were
also
a
factor,
and
so
the
report
really
focused
on
how
that
impacted,
those
who
were
hardest
to
house
and
hardest
to
employ,
and
so
a
lot
of
those
factors
were
focused
on
education,
socioeconomic
standing,
certain
communities
that
were
impacted
by
some
of
those
disparities.
K
And
so
one
of
the
suggestions
that
the
report
made
was
that
there
needed
to
be
a
Workforce
convener
at
the
city
level
who
could
actually
pull
Partners
together,
and
so,
as
you
can
see
from
the
third
bullet,
that's
why
we
were
designed
to
be
that
convener
and
even
though
there
are
a
number
of
partners
that
are
in
the
ecosystem,
there
are
a
number
of
other
organizations
that
have
engaged
in
convening
efforts
as
far
as
from
the
city
level.
At
that
time
there
wasn't
a
representative,
and
so
our
department
was
formed
in
2018.
K
K
So
our
mission
is
that
we
exist
to
cultivate
strategic,
Partnerships
and
collaborative
solutions
that
lead
to
robust
Workforce,
Development,
Pathways
skills,
training
and
household
income,
growth
for
all
chattanoogans
and
as
a
result
of
us
doing
that
work
we
envision
or
we
hope
that
our
work
will
lead
to
a
more
diverse,
thriving
and
resilient
Workforce
earning
a
living
wage
and
contributing
to
the
prosperity
of
our
great
City.
So
in
that
mission
that
may
sound
like
a
mouthful
so
you're,
probably
like.
Where
did
you
get
that
from
well?
K
I'm
glad
that
you
asked
it
is
deeply
embedded
in
our
One
Chattanooga
plan,
and
so
it
is
aligned
to
goals
two
and
five
goal:
two
being
to
catalyze
economic
Vitality
in
the
black
community
and
specifically
priority
number
seven
to
create
robust
and
accessible
Workforce,
Development
Pathways
and
again
there
are
a
number
of
partners
that
are
in
the
workforce
ecosystem,
many
of
them
doing
great
things,
but
as
far
as
bringing
those
efforts
together
so
that
there
are
Pathways
for
all
people
to
find
a
way
into
whatever
employment
is
going
to
put
them
in
the
best
position
possible.
K
There
hasn't
been
a
good,
concerted
effort,
and
so
as
the
office
of
Workforce
Development,
that's
our
hope
that
we
can
step
into
that
space
and
be
able
to
work
with
people
in
that
regard,
goal
number
five:
building
a
competitive,
Regional
economy,
priority
number
25
falls
under
that
and
that
is
to
grow
household
income
for
all
chattanoogans
through
Workforce
Development
and
skills
training.
K
We
know
that
individuals
also
need
soft
skills,
so
sometimes
that's
around
more
interpersonal
skills
being
able
to
work
well
with
others,
engage
with
others
and
and
really
to
be
civil
with
others
in
the
workplace,
and
so
current
Partnerships
since
I've,
been
here,
two
of
our
biggest
ones,
have
been
with
human
resources
in
our
Public
Safety
department,
which
falls
under
our
office
of
Community
Health.
So
with
human
resources
and
partnership
with
them,
we've
helped
them
pull
together.
K
Two
job
fairs
one
focus
on
our
wastewater
treatment
plant
at
Moccasin,
Bend
and
with
public
works
and
as
a
result,
319
applicants
actually
showed
up.
They
were
hungry
for
positions
with
the
city
and
out
of
that,
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
later
about
that
29
of
those
applicants
actually
were
from
the
new
life
fair.
But
to
date
we
know
that
there
are
33
new
hires
that
have
been
brought
on
and
Counting.
K
As
many
of
you
know,
they've
been
hosting
these
fairs
since
2017,
and
so
we
can't
take
credit
for
the
work
that
they've
done,
but
we
did
partner
with
them
by
also
bringing
our
HR
department
together,
alongside
of
them
for
opportunities
and
so
on
day,
one
for
them.
They
had
103
participants
and
on
day
two
121
insane
people,
so
there's
so
there's
so
they
weren't
new
participants,
but
a
121
person
showed
up
on
day
two
and
there
were
21
employers
that
participated,
who
were
actively
engaged
wanting
to
work
with
the
Justice
involved
community.
K
So
we
were
really
encouraged
about
that
had
a
chance
to
address
them.
During
that
time,
myself
and,
as
I
stated,
the
city
of
Chattanooga
HR
they're,
currently
reviewing
25
applications
for
those
focused
on
those
who
already
have
CDL.
So
that's
where
the
29
comes
in
and
right
now
they
are
still
trying
to
vet
through
those
new
higher
results
and,
as
we
know
many
times
when
you're
working
with
private
employers,
they
do
kind
of
hold
those
results
close
to
the
best
and
so
troying.
K
Also
too
there
are
some
City
Partners
sprinkled
in
there
as
well,
so
with
Chattanooga
State,
we
actually
partner
with
them
towards
the
end
of
last
year
for
one
of
their
professional
development
cohorts
and
that
was
focused
on
I.T
and
customer
service,
and
so
we
actually
worked
with
individuals
that
were
being
assisted
by
the
office
of
family
empowerment.
So
that's
another
partnership.
Internally
that
we've
leveraged
and
just
a
quick
note
there.
K
One
of
the
things
that
I
I
stated
coming
into
this
office
was
to
make
sure
that
we
broke
down
silos
internally
and
externally,
and
not
that
it's
always
intentional
that
we
don't
work
together.
Sometimes
we're
running
hard
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
things,
but
we
definitely
wanted
to
make
sure
that
our
office
was
able
to
tie
some
of
those
efforts
together
and
really
deliver
services
in
a
more
efficient
and
effective
way
for
our
constituents
and
so
by
partnering,
with
ofe
office
of
family
empowerment.
K
We
were
able
to
connect
eight
of
their
referrals
to
Chattanooga
State
because
they
were
receiving
referrals
from
other
partners.
Two
of
them
got
accepted,
and
so
we
helped
them
to
try
to
to
redirect
them
to
some
other
opportunities,
but
they
had
a
total
of
10
participants
and
right
now,
those
two
participants,
along
with
the
others,
I'm
proud
to
say,
they're
in
a
90-day
internship
that
hopefully
at
the
end
of
that
process
and
that
started
mid
February.
K
But
at
the
end
of
that
process
the
hope
is
that
that
will
end
in
full-time
employment
for
them,
and
so
we
also
hosted
the
Midtown
job.
Fair
and
councilwoman.
Burris
was
instrumental
in
pulling
that
together
and
again,
it's
another
one
of
those
initiatives
where
even
with
me
stepping
again,
some
of
those
Wills
were
already
in
motion.
So
the
good
thing
is
that
we've
had
our
eye
on
the
ball,
with
trying
to
keep
those
Partnerships
going.
But
in
partnering
with
councilwoman.
L
K
And
urban
story
Ventures
we
were
able
to
attract
80
attendees.
To
that
event,
we
had
33
employer
partners
that
were
there
and
again
with
33
employer
Partners.
Sometimes
it's
hard
to
get
the
information
that
you
want
and
so
we're
still
trying
to
get
some
of
that
information
get
those
results
tallied.
But
we
do
know
that
there
were
hires
made
from
that.
It's
just
a
matter
now
of
just
working
with
those
Partners
to
get
that
information
to
us.
K
But
again
it's
the
power
of
partnership
not
only
with
Private
Industry,
but
also
with
our
partners
internally
with
the
city
that
that
helped
bring
that
along
and
then
lastly,
for
external
partnership
opportunities,
I've
been
a
part
of
the
Unum
Workforce
Development
forum
and
that
started
back
in
October
and
so
I'll
commend
Unum
for
this.
They
actually
stepped
up
and
stepped
in.
K
To
say,
we
know
that
there
are
disparities
in
the
in
the
workforce
and
we
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution,
and
not
only
do
we
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution.
We
want
to
help
bring
people
together
and
bring
organizations
together
and
so
about
30
Workforce
Development
Partners,
which
includes,
as
you
can
see,
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
EPB,
Blue,
Cross,
Blue,
Shield,
Southeast,
Tennessee
development
district
and
several
several
others.
K
We
came
together
to
discuss
those
disparities
and
solutions
that
could
help
meet
the
needs
of
the
individuals
that
truly
were
in
need
of
all
of
those
services
that
we
could
all
bring
to
the
table,
and
so
out
of
that,
we've
been
developing
collaborative
solutions
to
try
to
remove
barriers
and
some
of
those
barriers,
of
course,
that
many
of
us
know
about
child
care
and
transportation
are
as
kind
of
hot
button
topics
that
we've
talked
about,
and
so
a
number
of
the
partners
have
broken
down
into
smaller
groups
to
address
those
disparities
and
how
we
can
work
together
as
private
industry,
public
and
then
also
non-profit
organizations
and
as
a
result.
K
K
So
the
built
within
initiative,
as
many
of
you
know,
and
for
those
that
don't
it's
an
organization
based
out
of
Washington
DC,
that
received
an
8
million
dollar
Department
of
Labor
Grant
and
the
focus
on
that
was
to
establish
apprenticeship,
Innovation
districts
and
so
Chattanooga
was
actually
selected
to
be
one
of
those
five
apprenticeship,
Innovation
districts
and
so
and
and
so
what
that
entails
is
we
will
actually
be
receiving
1.6
million
in
resources
and
support.
K
That's
aimed
at
helping
businesses
to
create
their
own
apprenticeship
programs,
and
so
a
big
part
of
that
is
their
cloud-based
apprenticeship
management
system,
which
actually
helps
an
employer
manage
from
end
to
end
the
moment.
A
person
enters
the
apprenticeship
to
the
moment
that
they
offload
off
of
that
apprenticeship
and
actually
go
into
full-time
employment,
and
so
they
also
are
in
the
process
of
getting
two
positions
on
the
ground
that
are
solely
dedicated
to
creating
those
apprenticeships.
K
And
so
again,
that's
one
of
those
options
where
the
city
is
coming
around
them
they're
bringing
Partners
to
the
table,
but
they
are
bringing
resources
to
help
with
that.
So
they're.
Creating
not
only
the
the
positions
to
focus
on
that,
but
already
embedded
in
that
software
or
14
registered
apprenticeships
already.
So,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
guesswork
in
it
for
the
employer
that
may
want
to
adopt
those
apprenticeships.
K
And
so,
as
you
can
see,
we
also
have
some
collaborative
investors,
not
only
just
the
city
of
Chattanooga
but
the
benwood
foundation,
Hamilton
County
government,
Chattanooga,
2.0
and
Hamilton
County
Department
of
Education,
and
then
we
have
another
opportunity
called
persevere
now
and
they
actually
are
based
out
of
Nashville
and
they
received
a
15
million
dollar
Eda
Grant,
and
that
is
focusing
on
providing
I.T,
training
and
I.T
job
opportunities
to
those
who
are
low
income
and
or
have
a
criminal
background
or
who
are
just
as
involved.
K
And
so
that
organization
is
looking
to
serve
all
95
counties
and
so
they're
targeted
seven
over
1700
individuals
and
they
want
to
have
a
70
percent
job
placement
goal
so
pretty
ambitious.
But
they
were
actually
introduced
to
me
by
another
partner,
Blue
Cross,
Blue,
Shield
of
Tennessee,
and
they
said:
hey
we'd
love
for
you
all
to
talk
with
them,
not
sure
where
this
will
lead.
But
we
think
this
will
be
a
good
fit.
And
so
when
I
spoke
with
their
representatives,
it
was
obvious
that
this
was
something
that
needed
to
happen.
K
Of
course,
I
immediately
thought
about
councilwoman
coonrod
and
the
work
that
she's
doing,
and
so
we
actually
pulled
together
a
number
of
ecosystem,
Partners,
43
and
all
30
attended.
We're
still
talking
with
some
of
them
about
how
they
can
partner
with
this
effort
and
see
how
they
can
actually
be
a
part
of
bringing
on
individuals
who
traditionally
are
left
outside
of
the
workforce.
Pipeline
and
currently
I
know.
Councilwoman
kunarod
is
I'm
speaking
with
them
to
just
see.
K
Here,
just
on
kind
of
where
our
strategy
is,
and
so
as
you
can
see,
it
talks
about
Talent,
Development
husband
before
I
get
into
that.
Just
looking
at
that
first
bullet
point:
currently,
myself
and
a
number
of
City
officials
are
involved
with
the
national
league
of
cities
and
their
southern
cities,
economic
inclusion
initiative
and
what
that
organization
does
in
that
particular
cohort.
K
It
says
that
we
are
currently
exploring
a
pilot
of
talent,
development
hubs
and
community
centers
to
bring
employers,
Community
organizations
and
community
members
together
to
develop
collaborative
solutions
for
Workforce,
Development
training
and
employment,
and
our
goal
is
to
have
community
centers
regularly
offer
Workforce
Development
opportunities
and
with
that
being
a
pilot,
it
could
be
the
community
centers.
We
know
that
we
have
real
estate
when
it
comes
to
our
libraries.
You
know
we
want
to
be
as
flexible
as
possible
so
that
these
opportunities
are
available
to
people
in
the
communities.
K
Because
again,
we
know
that
sometimes
there
are
issues
when
it
comes
to
Transportation,
sometimes
we'll
chat
with
child
care
and
so
being
able
to
bring
those
services
to
the
community
can
take
that
that
burden
off
of
the
back
of
people
who
are
already
trying
to
look
for
Solutions
and
maybe
are
hampered
by
some
of
those
those
impediments
and
So.
Currently
right
now,.
J
K
That
effort
we
are
partnering
with
Southeast
Tennessee
development
District.
So,
of
course
that
represents
the
American
job
center
who's
listed
there
and
they
also
are
the
ones
who
oversee
or
work
in
partnership
with
rather
the
Workforce
Development
board,
so
we're
bringing
in
other
partners
that
we've
worked
with
maybe
on
a
small
scale
in
the
past,
but
really
trying
to
catalyze
them
and
bring
them
on
full
full
force
with
us,
but
also
too
we're
engaging
the
Goodwill
of
Greater
Chattanooga.
K
They
too
have
a
number
of
services
that
that
reach
targeted
communities,
one
community
in
particular
that
I
think
about
is
our
elderly
community.
That
still
has
to
work.
Many
of
those
individuals
who
are
55
and
over
who
are
struggling
financially
many
times,
don't
know
where
to
go
and
so
good
will.
The
greater
Chattanooga
has
really
been
instrumental
with
their
cease
their
csep
program
to
actually
help
those
individuals
out,
and
they
have
a
number
of
other
services
too.
K
This
doesn't
have
happen
without
them.
They
have
a
lot
that's
going
on,
and
so
sometimes
when
you
have
different
entities
trying
to
come
there,
they
feel
like
it's
one
more
thing
right,
but
they
also
saw
the
importance
of
making
sure
that
not
only
are
we
providing
recreational
services
to
the
community,
but
that
we're
providing
other
services
that
will
help
people
to
actually
be
in
a
better
economic
situation.
K
So
they've
been
really
helpful
in
this
process
as
we
explore
it
and
then
also
Chattanooga
State,
because
they
have
been
a
primary
partner
in
providing
those
technical
skills
or
technical
skill,
training
opportunities,
and
so
in
talking
with
them,
they
are
prepared
to
see
about
taking
the
show
on
the
road
so,
rather
than
requiring
people
to
come
just
to
their
campus
for
all
of
their
services.
They
do
have
some
services
that
they're
willing
to
provide
right
there
in
the
community
and
I
slid.
J
K
Kind
of
last
minute
and
I
wish
I
could
have
put
the
graphic
in
here.
So
on
March
16th
we
are
hosting
a
labor
and
trade
fair
at
the
South
Chattanooga
Community
Center,
and
this
conversation
started
several
months
ago.
I
want
to
say
maybe
October
November
when
councilwoman
dotley
approached
me
and
said
that
hey
I
want
to
do
something
around
Workforce
Development
in
my
community,
not
really
sure
what
that
looks
like.
But
let's
talk
about
it
fast
forward
about
three
months
later
the
labor
groups
approached
me
and
say:
hey.
K
We
want
to
do
something
in
South,
Chattanooga
I
said
well,
rather
than
us
trying
to
do
two
or
three
different
things.
Why
don't
we
bring
our
resources
together
and
figure
out
how
we
can
make
it
something
that
will
really
have
some
strong
impact
for
the
community,
and
so
that
effort
will
occur
on
March
16th
from
two
to
five
at
the
South
Chattanooga
Community
Center,
and
we
and
the
labor
groups.
They
gave
us
this
information.
They
have
over
200
apprenticeship
slots
available.
K
What
they've
often
struggled
with
is
getting
the
word
out,
and
so
again
it's
not
our
job
as
a
convener.
To
try
to
do
everything,
but
one
thing
we
can
do
is
be
a
dog
on
good
cheerleader
for
the
work
that
is
going
on
and
so
I
think.
This
effort
will
be
a
first
step
in
really
kicking
off
the
the
ideal
of
talent,
development
hubs,
and
so
hopefully
you
all
will
be
able
to
come
out
as
as
you
as
you
can.
K
But
I
think
this
will
be
a
good
event
and
a
good
way
to
kind
of
step
into
this
new
approach
to
Workforce
Development
and,
of
course,
if
you
ever
have
any
questions
again,
Quentin
Lawrence,
director
of
our
department,
my
email
and
phone
number
is
up
there
and
then
also
Dr
Greg
Harwood.
Our
senior
project
manager
is
available
to
answer
any
questions
as
well
and
with
that
turn
it
over
to
the
council.
A
Quentin,
oh
thank
you
for
that
presentation.
This
is
a
little
awkward
as
I
have
to
hold
the
button
on
this
microphone
brand
new
fancy
system,
Tyson's,
absolutely
just
twisting
back
there
right
now:
okay,
fantastic
stuff,
Quinn!
Don't
don't
go
too
far!
My
question
for
you
was
I
hold
this
button
over
here
is
we
have
a
in
the
past
we've
had
a
summer
jobs
program.
K
Youth,
yes,
I
believe
so,
and
I
should
have
clarified
so
with
our
office,
is
solely
focused
on
adults.
So
so
it
wouldn't
interfere
with
any
of
that
process.
That's
being
that's
being
done.
I
just
I
didn't
want
to
take
up
too
much
time,
but
I
will
mention
this.
K
We
did
partner
with
Public
Safety
again
this
winter,
so
with
Chris
Sands
and
his
team,
and
so
we
connected
them
with
the
American
job
center
to
host
a
winner
job
fair
for
young
people
and
so
I
know
that
they
are
also
planning
for
a
a
spring
job
fair
as
well,
but
I
don't
see
any
interference
with
anything
else,
but
again
we're
not
directly
in
that
lane.
A
Though
so,
if
someone
were
to
want
to
engage
with
your
office,
you
they
can
contact
your
office
or
what
would
be
the
best
number
for
someone
to
say,
because
this
is
fantastic,
I'm
looking
at
avenues
and
tentacles
everywhere,
which
I
think
is
what
is
so
important
and
impressive
about
what
you're
doing
here.
But
is
this
the
number
that
they
would
call
anybody
to
get
plugged
in
and
start.
K
So
Dr
Harwin
and
I
we
are
a
tag
team.
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
are
small,
but
we
are
Mighty.
So
we
would
welcome
anyone
to
contact
us
and
really
again
and
if
you'll
notice,
anyone
that
goes
to
our
website.
So
we
have
taken
it
down
from
maintenance
because
we
want
that
site
to
also
be
a
hub
as
well
for
resources
in
the
community
around
Workforce
Development.
A
Great
now
one
last
thing
Madam
chair,
so
you
mentioned
basically
what
I
heard
was
meeting
people
where
they
are
have
we
thought
in
areas
of
as
far
as
marketing
kind
of
my
one
of
the
things
I
I
do
is
maybe
even
going
out
with
simple
yard
signs
and
neighborhoods
placing
them
on
in
places
where
people
could
see
the
phone
numbers
they're
walking
by
hey.
A
K
Absolutely
and
I'm
and
I'm
certainly
not
opposed
to
it.
We
know
that
even
with
some
of
the
communities
that
we're
we're
looking
at,
especially
those
that
have
economic
disparities,
sometimes
digital
equity
and
access
is
an
issue,
and
so,
even
with
this
event
that
we're
that
we've
that
we
have
coming
up
on
the
16th
we're
actually
putting
Flyers
out
in
the
community,
so
even
putting
signs
out
in
the
yard,
even
if
they
want
to
know
hey
how
do
I
get
in
touch
with
the
office
of
Workforce
Development.
A
J
It
Mr
Sheriff
I
may
also
respond
so
prior
to
covid.
We
did
have
an
outreach
program
where
we
actually
did
go
door
to
door
in
communities
that
had
high
unemployment
and
we
we
stopped
that
during
covet
and
that's
pretty
labor
intensive
sure,
and
so
we
we
do
intend
to
continue
to
do
Outreach
through
community
centers,
but
I
don.
Don't
know
that
we'll
still
we'll
go
door
to
door,
but
I
do
think
that
we
could
certainly
put
put
signs
up
yeah.
L
Thank
you,
Quinn,
for
what
you
do
and
for
your
office
and
navigating
the
singers
and
I
pray
you
continue
to
be
on
The
Cutting
Edge
when
it
comes
to
our
seniors
and
bringing
them
more
opportunities.
Thank
you
absolutely.
Thank
you,
sir.
K
I'll
give
you
a
quick
on
that,
so
in
18.
Actually,
when
the
department
started,
the
the
director
then
actually
reached
out
to
me
when
I
was
working
in
the
nonprofit
sector,
so
I
was
aware
of
the
work
that
you
all
were
were
doing
and
trying
to
do
in
the
community.
So
just
really
glad
to
see
it
come
around
full
circle
and
be
a
part
of.
H
M
F
M
Motion
in
a
second
all
in
favor,
say
aye
post
his
name
stand
as
reported.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
only
have
one
item
to
go
over
in
committee
this
afternoon.
There
is
an
item
being
brought
forward
by
Vice,
chair,
dotley
and
she'll,
give
us
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
regarding
consumption
of
alcoholic
beverages
and
beer
prohibited
in
certain
places.
So
with
that
last
year,
Donnelly,
would
you
like
to
go
over
the
ordinance?
Everybody
should
have
a
copy
and
a
red
line
version.
M
Thank
you
very
much
for
providing
that
in
your
packet,
membaster.
B
And
this
legislation
is
co-sponsored
by
myself
and
councilwoman.
No,
this
does
specifically.
This
is
specifically
for
Station
Street,
because
councilwoman
Noel
is
in
her
District,
but
the
issues
that
persist
in
it
spill
over
into
District
Seven,
because
it's
right
literally
across
the
street,
but
the
issues
are,
is
the
basic
issue.
Is
Public
Safety
there's
been
persistent
issues
with
crime
that
spills
over
into
the
Main
Street
coward,
Place
area.
So
with
that,
we
want
to
begin
to
really
look
at
Public
Safety
when
we
have
streets
like
Station
Street.
So
there
were.
B
There
are
two
amendments
that
I
wanted
to
that.
Being
trans
woman
knows
spoke
about
that.
We
wanted
to
bring
before
the
council
for
discussion.
The
first
is
know
through
traffic:
no
through
the
vehicular
traffic
between
on
Station
Street
from
Thursday
at
8pm
through
Sunday
at
7
00
a.m.
B
Right
now,
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
have
been
on
Station
Street.
You
know
during
these
hours,
but
you
know
there's
people
there
there's
traffic
there
and
it
causes
a
lot
of
confusion
and
cluster,
especially
because
there's
open
drinking.
So
you
have
your
Cubs.
You
have
people
walking
it's
just
a
lot
of
confusion
and
a
lot
of
things.
In
addition
to
that,
a
lot
of
times
issues
spill
out
into
the
street.
You
have
people
driving
by
and
it's
just
a
really
big
safety
concern.
B
It's
something
that
probably
should
have
been
done,
especially
during
the
weekend
hours,
because
it's
so
busy
in
that
area.
The
second
one
is
each
business
located
within
or
adjacent
to,
Station
Street
must
collectively
provide
General
Security
right
now.
B
Some
of
the
businesses
have
individual
security,
but
there's
no
security
on
stations
on
Station
Street,
and
that
also
leads
into
that
public
safety
issue
because,
let's
say
there's
an
incident
at
one
of
the
nightclubs
or
one
of
the
places
there.
It
spills
out
into
the
street,
there's
no
one
there
to
regulate
that.
There's
no
one
talking
to
CPD,
there's
nothing,
and
then
it
rolls
on
over
into
coward
place.
It
rolls
on
over
into
Reed
Avenue
over
near
the
cigar
bar
and
now
there's
this
bigger
issue.
B
People
are
shooting
people
are
fighting,
there's
violence,
because
the
issue
wasn't
addressed
directly
on
Station
Street,
which
it
could
have
been
if
there
was
some
type
of
collective
security,
because
CPD
is
not
private
security,
that
is
for
our
Public
Safety,
so
the
base
this
is.
This
will
allow
the
businesses
well
urge
the
businesses
to
have
a
collective
security
that
will
report
to
CPD
each
year.
B
They'll
report
on
an
annual
basis,
letting
us
know
who
the
contract
is
with
and
CPD,
will
know
and
also
I
think
it
sets
the
standard
as
other
spaces
begin
to
maybe
want
to
have
this
type
of
Station
Street
feel,
and
it
is.
This
is
just
for
Station
Street.
So
if
other
spaces
want
to
do
it,
you
know
this
gives
them
an
idea
of
what
they
maybe
want
to
look
at,
but
in
this
instance
there's
just
so
much
going
on
on
Station
Street.
B
M
G
Thank
you.
So
let
me
ask
you
I'm
just
thinking
about
Chattanooga
when
there's
events
here,
and
particularly
in
the
summer
time
when
people
are
rolling
out
on
the
streets
all
day
long
is
your
legislation.
B
B
B
B
That's
what
I
was
oh
I
said:
yeah,
it's
all
around
it's
a
consistent
issue:
it's
not
just
the
summertime
or
spring,
but
it's
a
consistent
issue
and
things
that
the
system
may
happen.
It's
still
over
to
people's
neighborhoods,
their
home
and
their
homes.
And
here.
G
G
D
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
councilwoman,
dotley
and
councilwomanal
for
bringing
this
to
us.
I
know
it's
been
a
concern
within
your
districts.
I
had
a
suggestion
for
item
six,
just
a
tweaking
of
the
language.
D
My
little
English
major
hat
on
the
the
each
business
and
then
collectively
made
me
stumble
a
little
bit
and
so
I
wondered
if
we
might,
if
we
might
tweak
that
language
for
clarity,
something
to
the
effect
of
and
I
can
type
this
up
for,
Phil
and
you
all
to
consider,
but
each
business
located
within
or
adjacent
to,
Station
Street
must
contribute
financially
to
a
security
contract
that
provides
General
Security
solely
for
the
purpose
of
Public
Safety
on
Station
Street
to
I
guess
expand
what
that
concept
of
collectively
is
versus
each
business
collectively,
so
I
just
I'll.
M
All
right,
I'm,
not
seeing
you
know
the
last,
but
I
have
a
few
questions.
All
right.
This
is
in
in
councilman.
Brothers
may
have
touched
on
this
a
little
bit,
so
you
may
have
kind
of
answered,
but
just
for
clarification
number
five,
the
change
that
you
have
here
as
far
as
the
closure
is
this
every
week
all
year
long,
and
is
this
a
mandated
closure
yeah.
B
M
They'll,
be
the
expectation
is
that
there
will
be
some
I
know.
It
says
Collective
as
councilwoman
Hill
was
touching
on
below,
but
there'll
be
some
group
responsible
for
ensuring
that
the
street
is
closed,
not
not
the
city,
okay
and
then
that
closure
is,
it
says,
Station
Street,
but
just
to
clarify.
It
only
goes
down
to
the
end
where
it
intersects
Rossville
Avenue.
M
Them
to
come
here
and
that's
why
I
was
wondering
making
sure
that
that's
where
it
was
okay,
so
that
covers
a
parking
lot
access,
so
I
want
to
I
want
to
touch
on
one
thing
that
councilwoman
Hill
did
mention
specifying
each
business
shall
contribute
financially,
which
maybe
what
collectively
is
if
there
are
businesses
that
choose
not
to
does
this
mean
that
that
the
road
cannot
or
whether
it's
closed
or
not,
but
people
cannot
drink
there.
M
M
I,
don't
know
that
know
through
vehicular
traffic
is
allowed
along
Station
Street
from
Thursday
to
8
pm
to
Sunday
at
7.
A.M
is
a
condition
any
longer.
It
sounds
more
like
a
mandate,
so
I
don't
know.
If
it's
in
the
right
place,
maybe
it
should
be
up
there
with
f
and
g
at
that
level.
Instead
of
you
can
like
it
is
allowed.
If
a
condition
is
met
and
then
we're
mandating
a
street
be
closed,
it
just
doesn't
sound
like
a
condition
anymore.
M
Okay,
so
I
would
just
I
would
just
question
legally
if
it's
in
the
right
place
and
number
six
starts
to
sound.
That
way
as
well
is
it's
it's
no
longer
if
security
is
there
or
if
the
street
is
closed,
that's
more
of
a
condition
to
me
than
mandating
a
particular
change,
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up
and
make
sure
that
these
items
are
brought.
M
If,
if
they
are
not
conditions
of
G,
they
are
brought
into
their
own
eye,
maybe
as
as
other
letters
and
as
well
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
read
through
that
to
kind
of
think
through
it,
but
mandating
a
street
being
closed,
doesn't
sound
like
a
condition
being
met.
It
sounds
like
a
mandate
that
we
would
want
so
it
might.
We
might
want
to
keep
five
if
the
street
is
closed
and
then
have
up
here
around
f
and
g.
M
The
street
will
be
closed
at
these
times,
then
that
covers
both
and
it
forces
the
Mandate
that
the
street
is
closed.
I'm,
just
not
sure
that
that
is
clear
as
a
condition
there.
The
only
other
thing
that
I
had
Phil
as
well
is
the
last
sentence
in
six
I
believe
that
may
need
to
be
all
Security.
Contracts
must
be
filed
and
not
filled.
Okay,
got
it
all
right.
All
right,
I
was
moving.
My
little
English
acting
got
that
all
right.
That
was
that
was
all
I
had
I.
M
Don't
know
if
there's
any
oh
I
do
have
one
other
chairman
Ledford.
Please.
A
Thank
you
chairman.
My
question
is
real
simple:
have
we
vetted
this
or
run
this
through
the
our
emergency
responders
to
make
sure
they
have
no
issues
or
have
any
issues
that
they
need
to
chime
in
on?
It's
like
the
CR
fire
department
back
here,
especially
oh,
that's,
a
rhetorical
question
you
can
address
it.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
an
input
from
our
First
Responders.
G
So
let
me
make
sure
I
understand
the
intent
here.
The
intent
here
is
the
street
will
be
closed
for
certain
amount
of
days
for
safety
reasons
and
yet
we're
putting
it
on
the
owners
to
do
that.
The
city
isn't
doing
that.
No,
no,
so
I
want
this
to
work
and
I'm
wondering.
Is
this
any
sort
of
classic
legislation?
Phil.
F
Ma'ambc
that
would
be
regulated
by
the
state-
yes,
okay
and-
and
this
is
available-
because
there
is
a
state
law
provision
that
allows
the
consumption
of
alcohol
only
in
certain
places.
Here
in
the.
G
H
I
know
in
December
of
the
end
of
December,
Senator
Gardner
had
introduced
the
bill
to
revoke
the
entertainment
status
of
Station
Street,
for
these
very
same
reasons,
but
my
question
so
I'm
not
sure
how
far
that
it
went
but
for
no
through
traffic.
So
where
would
I
know
there
are
several
parking
lots,
that's
on
Station
Street.
So
how
would
they
access
the
parking
lots
if
they're
closed
from
eight
to
seven.
