Description
Chattanooga City Council Agenda Session - 9/26/23
A
Agenda
session
to
order
can
I
have
approval
on
the
minutes.
Minutes
stand
without
objection.
Council.
If
you
would
take
a
look
at
your
agenda
this
evening,
I
will
slow
down
a
little.
This
week
we
have
ordinances
under
final
reading.
We
have
legal
as
well
as
Public
Works
any
comments
or
questions.
Please
hit
a
light.
Councilman
leard.
B
Madam
chair,
this
is
under
Information
Technology.
If
you'll
allow
yes
go
ahead,
thank
you,
Tyson
in
the
room,
hey
Tyson,
so
under
I
guess
items
D
this
one
grabbed
my
eye
Tyson.
Will
you
walk
us
through
a
little
bit?
How
this
benefits
the
Land,
Development,
Office
I,
know:
we've
all
been
interested
in
helping
bolster
Land,
Development
Office
and
we're
aware
of
of
challenges
so
I.
We
don't
hear
enough
from
it.
So
we
like
to
see
you
more.
C
C
So
it
really
helps
not
only
give
you
a
single
pane
of
glass,
if
you
will
into
where,
where
to
get
these
items,
but
also
where
they
are
in
the
process,
and
so
it
not
only
helps
just
give
that
visibility,
but
it
helps
accelerate
the
time
for
our
ldo
office
to
be
able
to
to
be
able
to
review
and
approve
said
licenses.
So
it
really
is
the
24/7
ldo
office.
If
you
will
for
for
accepting
licenses
and
and
request.
C
C
It
does
and
I
think
that's.
You
know
one
area
where
you
know
this
is
an
accelerator
for
them.
We
want
to
support
them
and
give
them
the
technology
aspects
that
they
need
in
order
to
be
able
to
to
do
their
job.
So
this
takes
a
lot
of
Burden
off
them
and
really
helps
accelerate
the
process
for
for
businesses
to
to
be
able
to
conduct
their
their
their
work
very.
C
D
A
D
A
Right,
thank
you,
councilman
leford,
again,
ordinances
on
the
final
reading,
any
other
comments
or
questions
ordinances.
On
the
first
reading
we
have
mayor's
office.
We
have
a
couple
of
planning.
We
have
a
planning
item
and
item
under
public
works,
okay
resolutions,
we
have
Council
Office
and
we've
had
some
questions
for
information
technology.
Please
hit
your
like.
If
you
have
any
questions,
we
also
have
public
works
and
Wastewater.
So
that's
our
agenda
for
this
evening.
Also,
we
do
have
a
special
presentation.
A
Councilwoman
krod
will
be
making
a
presentation,
Proclamation
honoring,
Alan,
Bernie
Jr,
so
be
on
the
lookout
for
that
for
this
evening.
Council,
if
you
will
take
a
look
at
next
week's
proposed
agenda
items,
if
you
have
any
comments
or
questions,
please
hit
your
light.
We
will
have
next
week
a
special
presentation
of
proclamation.
E
Okay,
thank
you,
chairwoman.
We
do
have
one
purchase
that
needs
to
be
withdrawn
for
this
evening.
It's
the
first
line
item
on
your
purchasing
sheet
for
tree
removal,
storm
cleanup
and
trimming
services.
We
just
need
a
little
bit
more
time
with
review
for
this.
One
I
think
we
have
one
slight
discrepancy,
but
this
will
be
coming
back
to
you
in
the
future,
but
just
to
remove
that
from
the
sheet
for
this
evening.
B
F
A
Yes,
all
right,
thank
you
so
much
councilman
Le,
all
right
Council.
If
you
will
take
a
look
at
your
future
considerations,
any
comments
or
questions
all
right
and
we
do
have
a
departmental
report.
Today
we
have
a
purchasing
department
report
as
well
as
a
commit
Ecom
development
committee,
discussing
the
one
West
Side
Tiff,
and
so
with
that
we'll
go
ahead
with
our
departmental
report,
purchase
Department.
G
Report
we
have
three
slides
if
you
care
for
slides,
otherwise
we
can
just
talk.
What
is
your
preference?
Go
ahead?
Go
ahead.
Let's
talk,
okay,
so,
first
of
all,
we
we've
reached
out
to
other
Tennessee
local
governments
and
they're
all
seeming
seeing
the
same
issues
that
we
are
in
fact,
Debbie
tally
has
been
invited
to
talk,
participate
in
a
round
table
for
the
conversation.
We've
got
a
few
reasons
why
we're
having
trouble,
and
we
have
some
things
that
we're
doing
to
address
the
issues.
G
G
G
We're
going
to
get
them
in
in
time
with
the
longer
process
for
governments
it
makes
suppliers
more
concerned
about
losing
margins
by
the
time
they
start
the
process
get
the
bid.
Prices
could
have
changed
considerably,
and
this
is
really
true
with
some
of
the
more
complicated
projects.
Another
issue,
another
problem
with
having
is
our
projects,
although
they
seem
large
to
us,
are
small
in
comparison
to
some
of
the
large
private
dollar
contracts
that
are
out
there.
G
So
it's
harder
to
get
interest
and
then
the
last
one
that
we
identified
is
our
payment
on
time
rate
is
not
what
it
used
to
be.
It's
improving,
but
some
suppliers
are
really
frustrated
when
they
don't
get
paid
within
the
30
days
now
want
to
let
you
know
this
is
improving.
As
of
August.
80%
of
our
payments
were
within
30
days.
This
is
up
from
66%
last
year,
so
we
are
working
in
improving.
So
what
are
we
doing?
In
2022?
We
started
a
new
supplier
portal.
G
This
really
will
streamline
the
process
from
participating
in
bids
to
the
point
of
getting
your
payment.
You
can
watch
it
all
the
way
through
it's
slow
adoption,
though
only
22%
%
of
the
invoices
that
were
processed
from
April
to
June
were
through
the
supplier
portal.
So
we
are
working
to
improve
that.
We
have
two
meetings
per
week
for
suppliers
to
get
familiar
with
the
portal
to
learn
to
use
it
well.
G
We
are
also
holding
Department
education
sessions
to
help
them
understand
their
part
in
the
procure
to
pay
process,
and
this
will
eventually
help
on
the
delays
there.
We
have
two
supplier
fairs
each
year.
In
fact,
we
have
one
coming
up
Thursday.
This
gives
an
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
the
minority
and
wom
Women
Business
community,
and
it
we.
We
also
continue
to
make
sure
that
we
reach
out
in
every
available
method
with
registered
suppliers
through
the
website
through
newspapers,
to
let
people
know
of
procurement
opportunities.
G
A
H
Thank
you,
Vicki
I,
appreciate
you
pulling
this
information
together
for
us
I'm
certain
you
all
are
frustrated,
as
are
we
I
want
to
understand,
make
sure
I
understand
some
of
the
work
that
you're
doing
to
improve
the
payment
and
30-day
number
as
I
was
taking
notes.
You
said
you're
doing
Department
training
is
that
internal
Department
training
to
help
people
understand
why
they
should
complete
their
work
in
a
timely.
G
H
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Vicki.
Thank
you
for
coming
to
us
and
kind
of
outlying
the
the
issues
I
know.
For
example,
we've
lost
some
vendors
who
refuse
because
I've
talked
to
them.
They're
people
I
know,
and
they
said
I
refuse
to
do
business
with
the
city.
Unfortunately,
and
they're
really
good
businesses
they're
really
good
vendors
for
us.
B
B
Could
you
come
back
to
us
relatively
soon
and
give
us
another
update,
because
that
sounds
like
you
are
working
on
it
and
there's
anybody
at
the
helm
for
this
I'm
glad
it's
you
because
you've
tried
to
retire
like
five
times
and
we
we
keep
asking
you
not
to,
because
we
need
your
expertise
in
this
role.
But
I
would
love
Madam
chair
for
to
hear
some
progress,
maybe
sometime
soon
I
I'll
leave
that
up
to
you
Vicki,
because
I
don't
want
to
stifle
your
process.
Yeah.
G
B
And
my
last
point:
if
I
may
Madam
chair
is
Vicki
when
we,
this
council
is
very
interested
and
has
been
in
promoting
smaller
businesses
in
Chattanooga
minority
owned
businesses
in
Chattanooga
to
do
business
with
the
city,
and
when
we
have
a
delay
in
a
payment.
That's
expected
I'm
a
small
business
owners.
You
know
that
it
hurts
that's
great,
it
does
hurt
and
it
could
be
detrimental
to
whether
someone
is
open
or
closed
the
next
day.
B
A
A
D
C
K
K
There
we
go
so
as
a
reminder
to
the
council.
What
we
are
contemplating
here
is
a
public
private
partnership
which
would
essentially
create
a
$135
million
Tiff,
including
interest
which
would
be
made
up
of
property
tax
revenue
in
the
amount
of
approximately
$100
million,
plus
incremental
new
sales
tax
revenue
in
the
amount
of
approximately
$15
million
plus
interest
CA
at
20
million.
K
The
real
property
tax
revenue
would
be
used
to
reimburse
Urban
story
Ventures
the
private
developer
in
this
case,
for
up
to
50%
of
their
public
infrastructure
costs,
and
then
the
city
would
allocate
a
portion
of
the
new
incremental
local
option
sales
tax
revenue
towards
the
Tiff
as
well.
That's
the
$15
million
sales
tax
number,
but
there
would
be
a
portion
of
the
local
option
sales
tax
revenue,
which
would
also
be
dedicated
to
affordable
housing.
K
The
committee
recommended
that
the
Tiff
be
moved
forward
so
that
it
was
moved
forward
to
the
Industrial
Development
board
for
a
public
hearing
that
public
hearing
was
held
on
Monday
September,
the
11th
and
the
idb
voted
to
advance
the
tiffon
to
the
city
council
and
the
County
commission
for
consideration.
So
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
overview
of
where
we
were
and
I'd
like
to
invite
our
good
friends
from
Urban
story
Ventures
to
pick
up
the
ball
and
take
it
from
here.
To
tell
you
more
about
the.
L
Yeah,
that's
right
good
afternoon,
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
today
and
and
appreciate
being
here.
I'll
try
to
go
through
this
very
quickly,
because
I
know
you.
You
all
are
very
familiar
with
the
Ben
Project
and-
and
we've
been
here
before
so
I
found
this.
This
was
an
article
I
found
a
couple
days
ago
and
I
thought
it
was
relevant
for
today's
discussion.
L
If
you
see
the
photo
here
in
the
in
the
top
left
hand
Corner
it's
our
existing
Riverfront,
where
the
aquarium
is
housed
and
believe
this
F
pH
it
was
taken.
Late'
70s
early
80s
looks
very
similar
to
the
photos
that
we're
going
to
show
you
here
in
a
minute.
But
this
is
an
expert
from
that
article.
It
was
actually
published
I'm
going
off
memory
here,
I
think
March
of
2023
it
had
some
quotes
in
there
from
Senator
Corker.
The
one
I'm
going
to
reference
is
from
Ken
Hayes.
L
It
says
Hey
says
the
improvements
made
with
the
21st
century.
Rer
front
helped
put
chattan
on
the
map
is
an
attractive
city
that
was
able
to
turn
around
its
downtown
and
reshape
its
future
after
suffering,
losses
in
its
manufacturing.
Foundation
through
the
70s
and
80s
City,
downtown
cities
and
downtowns
are
never
done
and
you
have
to
keep
changing
and
moving
ahead
to
keep
communities
fresh
and
dynamic.
Like.
L
L
North
Park
being
our
epicenter
of
downtown
and
the
aquarium
being
roughly
0.9
miles
from
the
epicenter
of
downtown.
What
we're
doing
is
tying
in
the
missing
piece
of
the
River
Front,
the
bend
from
the
west
side
to
the
downtown
core,
which
again,
ironically
enough,
is
roughly
.9
mies.
We
have
you
can
see
in
the
lower
hand
picture
here.
We
have
MLK
Main,
Street
and
19th
Street
that
connect
the
west
side
of
our
downtown
and
we've
always
said
our
mission.
Our
goal
is:
connect
that
missing
River
Front
to
our
downtown
core.
L
Here's
some
imagery
these
are
fresh
hot
off
the
press.
So
to
speak.
When
we
met
before
you
know,
de
Cole
Partners
had
done
a
a
a
beautiful
rendition,
a
big
plan
of
of
what
the
B
could
look
like.
We
partnered
with
Hill
Partners,
who
is
one
of
the
best
Urban
retail
developers
in
the
country
to
reimagine
that
plan,
and
these
are
the
fruits
of
that
Labor.
You
can
see
a
dynamic
Riverfront
here.
This
is
what
the
community
said
they
wanted
to
see.
L
You
see
an
indoor
outdoor
music
venue
with
retail
and
a
new
Park
Boulevard
that
will
tie
into
the
west
side
of
Wallace
plan.
Callison
rtk
is
one
of
the
best
architecture
firms
in
the
world.
They
do
projects
like
this
all
over
the
country
really
Best
in
Class
and
very
happy
with
the
way
these
renderings
turned
out
and
again
just
some
high
notes.
L
Here
I
want
to
move
through
this
quickly
because
I
know
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
questions
and
answers
and
I
want
to
give
cha
a
chance
to
to
speak
as
well.
120
Acres
mixed
use,
commercial,
retail,
residential
500500,
plus
your
units,
hotels,
we're
thinking
at
least
three
hotels,
possibly
four
on
site.
Nine
acres
of
park,
space,
riverwal,
300
plus
boat
slips
a
lot
of
density
and
again
this
is
an
overview
of
the
plan
that
I
just
referenced
with
rtk
and
Hill
Partners.
L
This
is
focused
on
the
canal
District,
our
Entertainment
District,
really
something
that
we've
been
mising
here
in
chattanoga
that'll,
draw
in
a
whole
another
class
of
of
tourist
to
our
community
via
boats,
and
things
like
that
and
I
also
want
to
hit
some
of
these
notes.
Here
too,
some
of
the
things
that
came
up
in
the
idb
are
we
really
going
to
take
away
from
downtown
and
bring
local
tenants
to
a
new
site
and
and
I
want
to
reiterate,
that's
not
our
intent
right.
L
There
are
a
herd
mentality
with
retailers
that
aren't
in
the
community
existing.
You
know
you
think
about
some
of
the
larger
retailers
that
we
would
like
to
see
here.
You
get
one
you
get
another
one
they
all
come,
but
it
has
to
be
a
good
mix
of
local,
Regional
and
Nationals,
and
so
that's
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
here
with
this
very
dense,
Urban,
Entertainment
District,
that
you
see
here
again
some
new
renderings
that
you
haven't
seen.
Yet
this
is
the
multif
family,
the
scheduled
a
break
ground.
L
Second,
quarter
of
next
year,
roughly
400
units
with
Woodfield
they're,
a
best-in-class
multif
family
developer.
They
develop
all
over
the
country.
They
have
committed
to
1,200
units
at
the
bend,
which
is
about
a
half
billion
dollar
investment.
There
is
currently
zero
housing
at
the
bend
right
now
and
we're
planning
for
up
to,
1500
units,
apartment,
condos
and
town
homes,
Town
Homes,
being
the
smallest
part
of
that
residential
mix
and
we've
designated
10%
as
affordable
at
80%
of
Ami.
L
Again,
this
is
a
walkable
car,
optional,
neighborhood,
with
access
to
public
transportation
and
park
space,
and
when
you
talk
about
affordable
housing,
it's
really
an
affordable
lifestyle
right.
If
you
have
a
grocery
store
within
walking
distance,
if
your
jobs
within
walking
distance
and
if
you
have
a
new
downtown
School
within
close
proximity,
you
have
the
ability
to
really
create
an
affordable
lifestyle
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
between
the
bend
and
the
West
Side.
L
Here's
some
of
the
existing
tenants
again
just
kind
of
a
refresher
when
we
bought
the
site
in
2018.
There
were
three
folks
working
there.
Al
had
promised
roughly
250
jobs
when
they
spent
the3
$350
million
of
investment
in
in
the
AL
site,
happy
to
report
now
800
plus
jobs.
All
of
that
happened
throughout
the
pandemic,
with
Blood,
Sweat
and
Tears,
and
and
using
existing
infrastructure
and
I
want
to
highlight
that
that's
existing
infrastructure,
2,000
plus
jobs
coming
soon
and
we'll
get
into
more
here.
L
In
a
minute
on
that
here's,
some
renderings
of
the
existing
Class
A
office
space
I,
know,
there's
been
some
new
announcements
about
class
A
office.
We
were
touting
that
a
couple
years
ago
that
Chattanooga
needs
some
class
A
office
space.
If,
if
you
go
to
downtown
Nashville
right
now,
Oracle
building
new
headquarters,
that's
how
employers
are
attracting
tenants
back
to
the
workforce.
They're,
not
going
entire
class
B
Class
C
space.
They
want
to
see
new
office
space,
they
want
to
see
outdoor
amenities,
they
want
to
see
walkability.
They
want
to
see.
L
You
know,
entertainment.
All
of
those
things
are
part
of
the
new
Workforce
and
what
they're
looking
for
daycares
things
like
that
is
part
of
the
programming
in
in
our
new
Workforce
and
office
space.
We
believe
that
we
can
offer
that
here
at
the
bend
and
you
can
see
in
the
foreground
a
fully
designed,
permitted,
11
story,
office
structure
and
then
one
that
we're
working
on
now.
That's
20
plus
stories
on
block
25.
Here's
the
existing
aerial
photo
of
the
existing
site.
L
As
you
can
see,
a
blank
canvas
we
tore
down
roughly
600,000
Square
ft
of
older
industrial
there
in
the
foreground,
about
2third
of
the
bin
does
not
have
the
required
public
infrastructure
and
and
the
existing
Tiff
that
we
are
applying
for
would
cover
about.
50%
of
the
expected
infrastructure
cost
all
of
that
public
infrastructure,
roughly
5
miles
of
Roads
Park
spaces,
light
poles
park
benches
all
of
those
things
and
we
are
ready
to
break
ground
as
soon
as
this
year
on
phase
one,
which
is
the
main
street
Corridor.
L
When
you
look
here,
you
can
see
some
imagery
of
the
riverfront
roughly
3,000
linear
feet.
It's
our
last
piece
of
River
Front.
We've
got
to
get
it
right,
similar
to
the
21st
century
river
front
of
plan,
again
very
similar
imagery
to
what
we
saw
in
the
late
70s
and
'
80s.
This
site
is
2
and
1
half
times
larger.
That
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
impact
that
we
can
have
here.
L
We
have
$1.3
billion
in
total
investment,
vertical
investment
in
the
pipeline.
Right
now,
that's
under
mou,
Loi
and
PSA.
That's
not!
We
think
it's
going
to
happen.
It's
currently
planned
it's
in
designed.
It's
entitled
it's
going
through
the
process,
various
stages
of
negotiations
all
dependent
upon
this
tip
and
the
public
infrastructure
coming
in,
and
so
when
I
say
we're
ready
to
go.
L
So
we
can
get
started
so
years
in
the
making
we've
been
at
this
for
5
years
now
right,
we
spent
million
dollars
millions
of
dollars
on
design
planning
efforts
collaborations
with
the
city
and
the
county,
we're
starting
to
see
the
effects
of
that
in
our
city.
You
know
all
ties
right
together.
I
know
you
guys
have
seen
plans
now
to
raise
the
density
in
downtown
again.
L
I
think
some
of
these
that
we
were
having
5
years
ago
are
now
becoming
reality
elsewhere
in
the
city
as
well,
which
is
what
we
want
to
see
right.
Everybody
wins
together.
I
won't
go
into
all
these
bullet
points
here,
but
this
is
a
legacy
project
for
Chattanooga
designed
by
chattanoogans
for
chattanoogans
and
which
leads
me
into
my
next
slide.
L
Here
we
is
in
the
collective
USS
city
council
developers,
city
of
Chattanooga
and
in
the
west
side
of
all
plan,
have
the
opportunity
to
change
chattanoogan
lives
for
the
better
and
leave
a
lasting
impression
on
tourists,
employers
that
will
visit
our
great
City.
This
is
our
last
piece
of
Riverfront
downtown
is
our
Legacy
for
the
future
Generations.
The
B
plan
is
the
culmination
of
years
of
collaborations
by
chattanoogans
for
chattanoogans.
It's
up
to.
L
I
Is
naid
menh
house
for
those
of
you
who
have
not
met
me?
I'm
director
of
development
at
katanova,
Housing
Authority,
you
heard
Jimmy
and
now
I
will
walk
from
his
Bend
onto
west
side,
just
crossing
the
the
Riverside
Drive
and
go
into
the
West
Side
stud
area.
The
west
side,
as
you
can
see,
is
about
150
acres,
15
acres
and
is
bounded
by
on
the
North
ml
Kang
South
on
Main,
Street,
Highway,
27
and
Riverside
Drive,
and
this
is
our
focus
of
our
development
and
you
we
already
have
some
cha
owned
properties
there.
I
We
also
have
city-owned
land
and
we
have
other
developers
who
have
built
other
rental
properties
in
this
footprint
and
then
there
are
some
other
privately
owned
sites
as
well.
We
have
one
big
site
there,
which
we
called
as
College
Hill
College
Hill
is
our
oldest
site,
which
was
built
as
a
public
housing
in
1940.
This
particular
site
has
has
years
of
I
call
it
disrepair,
and
just
because
of
the
age
and
about
the
Topography
of
that
land,
the
viability
of
this
particular
site
to
be
continued
as
public
housing
or
even
repair.
I
It
is
not
feasible
to
the
best
of
our
knowledge,
and
we
have
been
talking
to
hard,
also
the
place.
The
urits
lack
lot
of
amenities
they
don't
have
affordable
or
the
ADA
requirements
met
over
here
they
have.
The
the
infrastructure
is
basically
dting
like
plumbing
catary
and
like
that.
That
is
why
C
shill
was
selected,
which
currently
has
497
units
the
other
property
we
have.
We
call
it
the
Gateway
Tower.
This
is
a
12-story
building
and
the
they
have
it
has
132
units.
This
particular
building
is
has
a
deficiency.
I
I
I
Grant
is
also
leveraged
with
ti,
which
is
very
crucial
to
realize
one
Westside
plan.
These
are
interconnected
in
many
ways,
because
when
we
build
our
sites
and
housing
there
on
the
west
side,
we
will
have
to
go
for
low
income,
tax
housing
credits
and
if
we
have
the
Tiff
and
we
have
the
choice,
neighborhood
Grant,
we
are
relatively
assured
that
the
qap
developed
by
Tennessee
Housing
Development
agency,
thda
that
we
will
be
very
favorably
looked
at
and
therefore,
if
this
is
a
chain
in
the
link
and
any
one
of
these,
they
don't
come
through.
I
Unfortunately,
we
could
be
back
to
Ground
Zero
Choice
neighborhood
implementation
has
some
specific
requirements,
they
have
one
and
one
replacement.
This
is
we
and
the
city
had
the
same
vision
when
we
started
this
plan
that
we
were
going
to
go
with
one
and
one
replacement.
We
currently
have
629
lwi
income
housing
units
and
we
are
committed
to
build
those
629
units
on
this
site.
Now
that
was
our
plan,
that
was
the
city
plan
and
it's
also
required
by
the
choice.
Neighborhood
Grant.
So
it's
not
only
us
talking
here.
I
It
is
the
choice
neighborhood
requirement,
which
py
will
have
to
sign
some
documents
and
say
that
she
going
to
implement
this
plan,
then
the
other
significant
part
of
it.
Again.
We
as
a
HUD
policy.
We
have
a
right
of
return
and
not
only
Hut
has
that
requir,
but
but
this
implementation,
Choice
neighborhood
Grant,
also
requires
that
we
give
the
right
of
return
to
all
the
residents
who
are
currently
living
there
and
then
that
also
choice.
I
Have
priorities,
and
and
given
to
different
levels
of
people
coming
in,
so
the
individuals
who
are
going
to
be
affected
here
will
be
on
the
highest
list
of
preferences
to
occupy
the
new
units
and
that
preference.
Of
course
they
have
the
right
an
option
to
occupy
a
replacement
unit
or
not.
That
will
be
their
call
and
the
preference
remains
at
the
highest
level
throughout
up
to
the
time
frame
when
the
Lee
up
of
the
replacement
unit
is
completed,
relocation
and
Mobility
counseling.
I
Just
this
afternoon,
the
cha
board
approved
two
companies
and
I'll
get
into
that
a
little
bit.
We
feel
that
relocation
and
mity
coning,
not
only
that
it
is
a
requirement
from
the
hard
Choice
Grant,
but
also
is
a
hard
requirement
and
and
we
follow
and
we
obligated
to
follow
relocation,
ability,
counseling
and
we
have
hired
two
companies
and
I'll
get
into
that
very
soon.
One
one
company
is
bests
side,
relocation
partner
and
they
are
very
experienced
more
details
can
be
given.
I
If
you
looking
for
this
afterno
is
the
time
and
we
approved
this
or
our
board
approved
it.
They
have
40
years
of
experience.
They
have
worked
on
16,
hope,
six
funded
projects,
30
section
18,
Demolition
and
disposition
projects.
They
have
90
employees
Nationwide,
and
it
so
happens
that
80%
of
them
people
of
color
and
they
their
staff,
speak
15,
written
and
spoken
languages,
so
40
Years
of
their
success
in
retaining
public
housing
residents
as
a
long-term
employees
is
part
of
their
mission.
I
The
other
one
is
the
management
partner,
which
is
urban
strategist,
and
they
also
have
previously
worked
with
cni
funds
and
they
have
over
3
billion
leveraged
in
Support,
Services,
Program,
45
years
of
experience,
planning
and
coordination
I
mean
there's
lot
of
pluses
they
have,
and
we
believe
that
they
will
be
extremely
successful
in
managing
and
the
the
strategies
on
the
bestest
side
and
now
I'm
going
to
have
chrisa
go
through
the
phing
summary.
Thank
you.
M
Hi
good
afternoon
I,
thank
you
for
letting
us
speak
today.
I'm
Christina
deas,
with
Columbia
Residential,
the
selected
housing
implementer
for
the
West
that
evolves
master
plan.
What
I've
been
asked
to
speak
to
you
today
about
is
a
little
bit
of
our
our
overall
working
draft
of
of
the
phasing
plan
out
at
the
West
Side.
M
There's
an
incredible
master
plan,
that's
in
place
and
when
we
get
a
hold
of
it,
we
kind
of
look
at
it
and
try
to
look
at
how
do
we
time
both
the
development
of
new
units
with
Demolition?
And
how
do
we
ensure
that
we're
able
to
have
folks
who
wish
to
remain
on
site,
stay
on
site
and
ideally
move
directly
into
new
units
whenever
possible?
We're
also
looking
at
new
unit
counts?
M
If
you
recall,
the
master
plan
has
a
mixed
income
approach,
and
so
not
every
unit
that
is
developed
is
going
to
be
a
replacement
unit.
There'll
be
a
percentage
of
the
units
that
are
developed
in
each
phase,
that
are
replacement
units,
and
so
what
you're
looking
at
here
is
really
a
a
listing
of
the
phasing,
on
the
left
hand,
column
the
blocks,
which
correspond
with
this
lovely
map
here.
M
I
know
not
everybody
likes
alphabets,
but
it
helps
me
kind
of
keep
a
hold
of
what's
going
on
here,
but
the
letters
in
the
blue,
the
new
residential
units
in
total.
So
what
you're
seeing
is
in
phase
one
which
is
located
on
the
Block
IJ,
which
we
all
refer
to
as
the
yfd
block,
which
is
on
the
further
right
hand,
side
over
by
Highway
27
we're
right
now
modeling
to
hold
230
units
in
total.
M
There
are
no
non-residential
square
footage
currently
anticipated
for
that
they'll
be
Leasing
and
basic
residential
amenities,
but
nothing
of
ground
floor
retail,
for
example.
There
are
no
residential
units
demolished
in
that
phase
of
the
230
units.
Right
now
we're
looking
at
81
of
those
being
replacement
units,
meaning
they
would
be
directly
housed
and
preserved
for
the
residents
of
College
Hill
I.
M
Don't
want
to
bore
you
with
going
through
every
single
line
here,
but
it
continues
as
forth
so
before
you
know
every
single
phase
here
now
the
total
number
is
what
I
want
to
bring
you
your
attention
to
on
the
bottom
line.
You
have
629
units
in
total
demolish,
so
that
is
the
497
of
College
Hill,
and
that
is
the
132
Gateway
Tower,
which
Navid
just
described
it's
132
there.
So
those
together
we're
demolishing
629
units
and
we
are
replacing
629
units
that
goes
back
to
that
one
for
one
replacement.
M
M
That's
that's
that
that
that
overall
number
minus
the
Gateway
Tower
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
senior
only
housing
can't
be
moved
into
family,
only
housing,
and
so
that's
got
its
own
separate
kind
of
look
at
where
it
goes,
but
but
right
now
what
I
wanted
to
walk
you
through
is
the
logic
of
how
we
approach
the
phasing
so
again
phase
one.
The
first
action
on
the
site
would
be
to
demolish
the
existing
yfd
structure,
I'm,
throwing
out
dates
here.
M
This
is
kind
of
you
know,
sticking
something
in
the
sand
and
start
testing
it
out.
It's
again
a
working
draft,
but
let's
assume
that
that
demolition
occurs
again.
If
you're,
looking
in
the
demo
de
demo
units
column,
no
units
are
demolished
because
that
is
not
currently
housing.
What
we're
looking
off
on
the
far
right
is
in
in
the
master
plan.
M
We
had
a
a
flag
that
was
staked
based
on
a
survey
done
a
few
years
ago,
where,
in
about
25%
of
the
residents,
said
that
they
would
like
to
remain
on
site
during
the
overall
Redevelopment,
and
so
we
said
well
what?
If?
What?
If
that
changes-
and
we
would
expect
that
to
change,
could
be
15%
could
be
whatever
percent
that
is
to
be
done
by
by
the
selected
partners
that
nid
just
described,
they
would
individually
sit
with
every
single
household
and
they
would
be
given
choices,
but
for
intens
and
plan
planning
purposes.
M
What
we
looked
at
was
what,
if
30%
of
residents
wish
to
remain
on
site
Okay,
so
we've
got
to
have
something
to
plan
around.
So
if
30%
of
the
residents
phase
by
phase
remained
on
site,
where
would
they
go
so
this
chart
is
assuming
100%
occupancy?
Not
a
single
unit
at
College.
Hill
is
Avil
available
across
the
site
to
move
anybody
into.
M
So
that's.
This
is
an
assumption.
It
is
not
actual
right,
but
if
you
want
to
stress
test
something
so
yfd
site
is
demolished.
First
phase
of
new
housing
is
I
and
J
again
over
on
the
yfd
site.
New
construction
is,
is,
is
done
there,
just
as
in
the
previous
chart
230
units,
there's
that
number
81
off
to
the
right.
That's
81
replacement
units,
the
first
phase
of
housing
demolition,
would
not
occur
until
the
yfd
site
is
built,
so
81
units
of
replacement
housing
would
be
available.
M
If
you
take
down-
and
this
is
this-
is
again
working
draft.
But
if
you
were
to
take
down
blocks,
E2,
F
and
C
have
a
demo
contractor
a
baitman
and
demo
happening
in
a
sequential
way.
Then
you
would
be
removing
a
total
of
248
units.
Now
this
is
I,
don't
want
to
say
worst
case,
but
this
is
kind
of
a
a
working
model
again.
M
So
if
you
assume
30%
of
those
to
be
taken
down,
wish
to
remain
on
site
74
of
those
that
equal
74
and
you
can
move
74
people
into
the
81
units
available
at
the
yfd
site.
So
if
you
follow
the
blue
arrows
you're,
looking
up
at
the
the
white
rows,
which
are
new
housing
and
anybody
in
the
gray
row,
which
is
the
demolished,
we're
tracking
30%
and
where
will
they
be
able
to
move
prior
to
their
phase
being
demolished?
M
I,
don't
want
to
walk
through
every
line,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
in
total.
The
new
residential
unit
count
for
the
College
Hill
family
units
only
is
1321
again
demolished
units
we've
taken
down
497
and
we
have
created
497
units
at
the
end
of
the
day,
replacement
units
and
I
know.
I
spoke
really
fast
for
a
girl
from
Alabama,
so
I'm
going
to
let
y'all
ask.
K
So
these
are
some
of
the
resolutions
that
would
be
needed
in
addition
to
as
part
of
the
choice,
neighborhood
Grant.
So
as
Christina
mentioned,
there
would
obviously
be
a
need
for
property
transfer
for
the
yfd
building
on
12th
Street,
as
well
as
part
of
the
Sheila
jitting
Park,
to
help
with
the
build
first
strategy,
which
would
so
there
would
be
a
portion
of
that.
There
would
also
need
to
be
some
allocation
of
cdbg
and
home
dollars,
as
well
as
zoning
approvals
and
then
the
in
kind
contributions.
K
What
we
did
was
in
order
to
be
responsive
to
what
we
were
hearing
from
city
council.
We
went
ahead
and
included
language
in
the
economic
impact
plan
that
basically
says
that
no
incremental
revenues
shall
be
allocated
to
the
housing
authority
pursuant
to
the
plan,
unless
city
council
and
the
City
of
the
city
approves
a
relocation
plan
for
residents
of
the
cheda
Housing
Authority.
K
So
this
gives
greater
oversight
to
the
council
to
be
part
of
the
process
before
any
incremental
tip
revenues
can
actually
be
allocated
to
Cha,
and
so,
as
part
of
this,
this
obviously
was
a
plan
that
was
adopted
by
Council
about
a
year
ago,
and
so
the
commitment
of
Tiff
funding
alone
represents
the
single
largest
investment
from
the
city
of
Chattanooga
in
terms
of
affordable
and
mixed
income
housing.
We
are
talking
about
an
excess
of
$80
million.
K
K
As
you
know,
the
county
would
like
to
build
and
to
dedicate
a
new
career
in
technical
education
center
to
prepare
high
school
students
for
careers
and
companies
downtown,
and
so,
as
part
of
this
Tiff,
there
would
be
over
350
$45
million
if
the
Tiff
is
successful
in
creating
new
projected
Revenue
towards
education,
in
addition
to
those
benefits
of
the
affordable
housing
and
the
education
pieces,
this
public
private
partnership
would
o
create.
It
would
dedicate
10%
of
the
units
within
the
bin
site.
K
Not
the
West
site
evolve
site
as
being
affordable
to
people
at
80%
or
less
of
Ami.
It
would
also
allow
for
DB
dbe
participation
for
up
to
30%
of
contracts.
Buildings
would
be
built
to
Energy
Efficiency
standards.
There
would
be
dedicated
park
space
to
the
city
and
then
there
would
be
multimodal
connectivity
improvements,
as
well
as
the
process
of
creating
some
sort
of
a
business
improvement
district
to
help
with
with
the
maintenance
of
the
streets.
K
This
is
the
first
time
that
the
city
has
has
considered
doing
a
pratus
portion
of
of
a
tiff,
so
what
that
means
is
we
are
not
proposing
to
give
Urban
story.
Ventures
their
allotted
share
of
money
before
any
of
the
community
benefits
are
realized.
A
portion
of
every
single
dollar
goes
into
the
different
portions
to
help
with
the
community
benefits.
So
a
portion
of
every
dollar
goes
to
the
public
infrastructure.
A
portion
goes
to
the
schools.
A
portion
goes
to
the
new
fire
station.
K
A
portion
goes
to
Westside
evolves,
that's
of
every
dollar,
so
there
is
no
party
that
is
waiting
in
the
wings
to
to
to
to
realize
Revenue
from
this
Tiff.
This
is
the
three-legged
stool
that
we
talked
about,
which
is.
It
is
a
public
private
partnership
which
basically
creates
a
model
for
us
to
be
able
to
Spur
Economic
Development,
to
Spur
the
creation
of
2,000
jobs,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
maximizing
our
riverfront
property
to
dedicate
over
$80
million
to
Westside
evolves
and
affordable
housing
and
to
dedicate
$345
million
to
education.
K
If
the
Tiff
is
successful,
so
the
next
steps
would
be
city
council.
Consideration
of
the
economic
impact
plan,
along
with
County
Commission
consideration
of
the
economic
impact
plan,
and
then
there
would
be
a
development
and
financing
agreement
that
would
be
considered
by
the
Industrial
Development
board
and
with
that
I'll
take
we'll
take
any
questions.
A
Okay,
now
earlier
this
year
and
if
I
sound
frustrated,
because
I
am
earlier
this
year
year,
I
specifically
asked
for
you
all
to
survey
those
residents
again
to
see
who
wanted
to
stay
and
I
understand
there.
Varing
shifts
I
get
that
that
people
want
to
leave.
You
know
whatever
things
happen
over
there,
but
today
September
the
26
2023
I
should
have.
A
A
I
will
not
consider
supporting
any
of
this
until
I
see
actual
numbers
of
those
who
would
like
to
stay
and
how
they
will
be
phased
into
this
project
with
one
move
I'm
just
so
taken
AB
back
by
this
foolishness
and
that
there
is
$1.4
billion
wrapped
up
into
this,
and
not
nobody
from
the
Housing
Authority
has
presented
any
of
us
with
any
numbers
to
show
us
who
wants
to
stay
this
I
I,
don't
have
anything
else
to
say.
Thank
you.
So
much
chair
up,
Rod
I,
appreciate
you
all
right.
Thank.
P
K
P
K
I
P
What
I'm,
having
a
problem
with,
is
this
business
about
relocation
and
and
and
counseling
and
and
the
fact
that,
while
this
is
happening,
we're
holding
the
Ben
Project
hostage
because
we're
saying
that
Urban
story
Ventures
doesn't
get
any
money
I'm,
quoting
you
until
the
community
benefit
is
realized,
so
they're
being
held
hostage
until
the
community
benefit
is
realized
and
I'm.
Seeing
a
lot
of
plans,
I'm,
I,
guess,
I'm
agreeing
with
chairperson
doley
that,
while
we're
trying
to
get
the
right
information
they're
not
allowed
to
move
forward,
the
other
thing
is
I.
P
Want
these
people
to
stay
downtown
I!
Think
that's
where
you
get
the
mix
right
and
what
I'm
seeing
is
relocation
and
I'm
seeing
a
right
to
return,
but
we
left
out
if
they're
in
good
standing
and
it's
it's
the
relocation.
It's
the
the
that
looks
like
gentrification,
which
is
not
what
any
of
us
wanted.
Sure.
Okay,
we
wanted
quality,
affordable
housing
downtown
in
a
mix
that
lets
the
Ben
go
forward
and
start
creating
these
jobs
and
I'm
I
know
this
I'm
hearing
the
Ben
Project
held
hostage
until
they
their
stuff
is
together.
P
K
So
let
me
clarify
once
if,
if
the
Tiff
is
approved
by
city
council
and
County
Commission
Urban
story,
Ventures
is
free
to
proceed
and
free
to
break
ground
and
free
to
do
whatever
they
need
to
do.
That's
why
we
included
language
in
the
economic
impact
plan
that
gives
the
council
the
ability
to
determine
whether
or
not
a
relocation
plan
is
approved
for
cha,
so
that
that
way,
Urban
story
Ventures
can
move
forward
if
the
Tiff
is
approved,
so
they
have
the
ability
to
move
forward
with
that
they
are
not
held
hostage.
K
P
K
K
No
I
think
it's
a
work
in
progress,
because
this
is
this
is
a
plan
that
will
not
actually
kick
off
for
a
few
more
years,
and
so
there
will
be
factors
that
change
change,
including
factors
that
have
that
have
the
the
residents
will
change.
The
the
engineering
studies
will
come
back.
The
financing
scenarios
will
change,
they
have
to
apply
for
low-income
housing,
tax
credits,
they
have
to
seek
cdbg
and
home
funds.
So
a
lot
of
this
is
in
flux,
but
as
part
of
the
choice
neighborhood
program
there
is.
There
is
a
consideration
in
that.
K
When
you
build
new
construction,
there
will
have
to
be
people
who
do
get,
who
are
temporarily
housed
in
other
places,
which
is
why
the
choice
neighborhood
program,
which
is
HUD
signature
program,
calls
for
hiring
a
relocation
specialist
to
be
able
to
assist
and
provide
Case
Management
Services
to
the
population
of
people.
That's
affected,
that's
not
a
that's,
not
a
a
Germain
thing.
That's
a
federal
program
right
and
so
so
I
I
do
want
to
make
make
make
that
clear.
K
Now
Betsy
can
speak
more
to
where
residents
will
go
during
the
short
term,
but,
as
I
said
before,
the
reason
that
we
included
language
in
the
economic
impact
plan
that
allows
the
city
council
to
hold
back
the
revenues
for
the
the
Housing
Authority.
Is
you
have
the
power
to
do
that,
pending
your
approval
of
a
relocation
plan
for
the
residents,
so
that
the
the
bin
can
continue
and
go
forward.
P
I,
don't
one
last
comment:
I,
don't
see
people
being
moved
out
for
the
short
term,
I
see
them
being
moved
out
because
we're
not
talking
about
a
couple
of
months
and
that's
what
that's?
What
I'm
I'm
not
able
to
get
my
arms
around
sure?
The
other
thing
is
have
we
looked
at
if
they
have
to
move
I,
understand
places
being
torn
down
right,
I
understand
having
other
places
for
them
to
go.
P
What
I
understood
the
places
to
go
were
were
out
on
shord
road
and
out
somewhere
way
out,
leh
High
way,
I
guess
what
I
don't
want.
People
obviously
should
have
the
right
to
go
wherever
they
want,
but
I
don't
think
they
should
be
moved
out
wholesale
from
the
life
they've
known
and
loved
and
enjoyed
and
with
the
bend,
will
get
even
better
with
a
wonderful
mix
of
all
incomes.
Sure
and-
and
this
is
where
I
have
a
problem.
I.
O
K
It
does
consider
the
fact
that,
yes,
in
in
the
process
of
taking
on
such
a
major
Redevelopment
project,
the
there
is
movement
that
has
to
happen,
and
there
is
Rel
location,
and
that
is
explained
in
the
choice,
neighborhood
Grant,
and
so
it
is
part
of
the
process,
and
we
should
we
should
to
your
point,
councilwoman
burs
and
to
the
chair's
point
chairwoman
doley.
We
do
have
to
be
honest
about
that,
because
that
is
a
component
of
the
choice.
Neighborhood
Grant,
which
is
a
signature
which
is
the
signature
portion
of
of
of
of
Hud's
program.
F
Thank
you,
mam,
chair,
hey
chief,
yes,
sir
I'm,
not
sure
I
learned
anything
today,
but
I
guess
confirmed
what
I
already
knew.
We
we've
seen
this
presentation
before
one
thing:
I
I
did
notice
in
the
slide
that
says
right
to
return
Yes
the
last
time
we
saw
that
slide.
I
think
there
was
a
parentheses
around
it
and
it
said
as
long
as
they
were
in
good
standing
that
that
has
that
gone
away
is
that
is
that
one
thing
that
is
now
new?
Well,
let
me
have
Betsy.
K
F
O
Sure,
no,
that
that
is
still
there
and
it
was
actually
on
one
of
the
slides
that
n
presented
and
essentially
what
has
to
happen,
is
at
the
time
a
resident
leaves
and
is
relocated.
They
have
to
be
in
good
standing
and
when
they
return
to
a
replacement
unit,
they
have
to
be
in
good
standing.
There
are
a
couple
of
things
that
statutorily
we
were
not
allowed
to
house
in
HUD
housing,
and
that
is
folks.
Who've
been
convicted
of
manufacturer
of
methamphetamine
and
sex
offenders
who
are
in
lifetime
sex
registry.
O
F
K
F
K
And
you
will,
but
having
said
that,
in
addition
to
that,
you
also
have
what
cha
explained
during
their
presentation
was.
You
also
have
guidance
on
the
Consultants
that
will
be
working
with
them
to
help
with
mobility
and
to
help
with
Case
Management
Services
as
well,
and
so
this
again
is
a
public
private
partnership
that
does
have
the
potential
to
dedicate
more
resources
to
affordable
housing
and
more
resources
to
the
west
side
in
in
a
in
a
in
a
way
that
the
city
has
never
done
in
the
past
and
more
resources
to
education.
F
K
F
F
H
H
H
And
my
initial
read
of
this,
you
all
may
remember.
I
was
highly
skeptical
of
some
of
the
things
within
the
for-profit
portion
of
this
Tiff
and
pretty
wide
openen
support
of
the
nonprofit
portion
of
this
Tiff
related
to
Redevelopment
of
the
West
Side
I've
done
a
lot
of
listening
since
then,
and
in
as
much
as
I
see
that
the
Chan
Housing
Authority
is
in
working
diligently
to
do
better
within
a
large
system.
That
is,
the
federal
government.
H
As
a
city,
as
we've
talked
I,
think
about
urban
renewal
of
the
1950s
and
60s,
where,
as
a
nation,
we
said,
we
want
to,
you,
know:
Revitalize
blighted
communities
and
what
that
did
was
it
gutted,
our
poor
communities
and
often
those
communities
were
African-American
communities
and,
as
I've
sat
quietly
and
listen
to
my
colleagues
to
other
people
in
this
community.
What
they
share
with
me
is.
H
But
what
I
did
make
a
note
of
is:
if
we
plan
that
30%
of
people
say
absolutely
I
want
to
come
back
and
I,
don't
want
to
move
in
the
midst
of
this.
What
we're
also
saying
is
that
70%
of
a
community
may
potentially
leave
and
not
come
back,
and
that
is
a
historically
black
neighborhood
in
downtown
Chattanooga.
That
will
be
Chang,
and
one
could
really
question
is
all
that
change
for
the
best
and
what
will
we
potentially
lose?
H
I
mean
there's
been
history,
projects
done
about
the
west
side
as
part
of
this
work,
and
so
to
truly
honor
that
work.
We've
got
to
make
sure
that
we
as
a
city
do
this
better
and
I'm
so
grateful
to
be
working
with
for
very
wise
African-American
leaders
who
are
taking
the
charge
and
saying
this
is
a
neighborhood.
We've
got
to
make
sure
we
do
it
right,
so
I'm
still
listening
and
the
points
that
councilman
burs
brought
up.
H
I
share
those
concerns
and
the
point
that
CH
that
councilman
Henderson
brought
up
that
was
based
on
the
the
question
about
how
the
land
will
be.
Rezoned
was
brought
to
the
Planning
Commission
on
I,
believe
September
12th
and
the
Westside
then
I'm,
quoting
Westside
architect.
Tinker
ma
had
requested
three
variant
es
within
the
W
zoning
that
were
denied
by
the
Planning
Commission,
and
one
of
those
things
that
was
denied
was
short-term
vacation
rentals
are
not
automatically
allowed
within
the
new
WN
zoning.
H
It
was
stated
that
short-term
vacation
rentals
are
not
compatible
with
the
Westside
evolves
plan
that
lays
out
conditions
for
a
thriving
Westside.
It
was
stated
also
that
the
commission's
intent
is
not
to
immediately
convert
new
and
much
needed
housing
to
short-term
vacation
rentals,
so
I
say
that
as
an
example
of
the
listening
that
needs
to
happen
because,
while
the
Housing
Authority
perhaps
is
not
saying
yeah,
we
want
we
we're
going
to
allow
short-term
vacation
rails
and
our
units
and
I
will
say
the
Housing
Authority
is
implicitly
saying
they're
not
doing
that.
H
H
So
I
have
a
few
specific
questions.
Sure,
along
with
that
imploring
to
please
continue
to
be
in
the
conversation
and
push
to
be
better
than
what
HUD
wants
you
to
be
because
HUD
HUD
wants
to
change
and
that's
been
why
we've
had
such
great
conversation
with
the
West
guide
Community,
but
we
need
to
do
better
than
HUD
wants
us
to
okay,
so
specific
questions.
H
I
H
I
H
M
Yeah
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
I
would
I
would
acknowledge
that
the
the
qap
the
qualified
allocation
plan,
which
is
released
by
thda,
actually
has
a
set
aside
pool
for
project
projects
that
are
cni
aies,
and
so
that
is,
that
is
the
critical
path
for
the
Okay.
The
reason
Chattanooga
hasn't
been
funded
is
Hamilton.
County
is
low
on
the
on
the
location
scoring
in
the
qap.
We
brought
that
to
their
attention.
M
H
H
H
It
looks
to
me,
like
the
projections,
would
have
all
629,
30,
Ami
or
below
unit
replaced
by
phase
or
in
Phase
9,
if
I'm
reading
that
graph
correctly
so
how
many
years
away
realistically
is
Phase
9,
because
in
the
original
documents
about
Westside
I
think
we
had
like
a
20
to
30e
buildout.
So
what
are
yall
thinking
for
phase
nine.
M
H
Okay,
so
so
let
me
repeat
back
to
you
what
I
think
I
just
learned,
because
this
is
new
learning
for
me,
so
the
choice,
neighborhood
Grant
would
focus
on
replacing
all
of
the
afford.
The
the
the
0
to
30%
Ami
units
currently
on
site
at
College
Hill
within
years,
the
and
the
tower
no
okay,
just
College
Hill
Court,
so
we're
looking
at
497
units
would
be
replaced
completely
within
8
years.
That
is
the
goal.
Yes
ma'am.
Okay,.
H
The
final
thing
that
I
have
on
my
Green
Dot
list,
I
I,
think
that
it's
really
smart
and
forward
thinking
that
we
have
the
community
benefits
tied
into
this
Tiff
I,
see
what
you're
saying
councilwoman
burs
about
how
we
potentially
have
this
freestanding
economic
development
project.
That's
being
slowed
by
this,
but
I
would
put
an
aster
and
say
it's
possible.
H
We
wouldn't
be
considering
a
tiff
for
this
that
project,
were
it
not
tied
to
community
benefits,
so
I
really
appreciate
as
a
leader
seeing
that
dollar
split
into
pieces
and
knowing
that
every
dollar
in
tax
increment
that
comes
gets
divvied
into
these
buckets
and
I.
Think
I
think
that's
a
great
example
of
Chattanooga
doing
better
than
what
we've
been
asked
to
do.
So.
Thank
you.
H
You
all
for
working
diligently
to
negotiate
that
and
I
just
implore
you
now
to
push
forward
with
how
do
we
ensure
that
the
West
Side
remains
a
community,
a
true
neighborhood
and
not
a
whole
new
neighborhood,
because
that's
going
to
be
something
we
can
all
be
proud
of
and
when
Jimmy
talks
about
a
legacy
project,
this
should
be
a
legacy
for
a
community.
That's
there
not
a
new
start
for
a
brand
new
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
That's
allce,
chair.
K
K
K
This
bring
along
the
hous,
the
the
West
Side,
along
with
what
is
happening
on
the
bin,
because
we
see
a
once-
in
a-lifetime
opportunity
to
combine
the
two,
and
so
this
is
why
we
wanted
to
be
responsive
to
what
we
felt
like
we
heard
from
the
council,
which
is
to
include
language
in
the
economic
impact
plan
itself.
That
gives
this
Council
control
over
when
cha
has
allocated
Tiff
Revenue
so
that
to
councilwoman
bur's
point,
the
project
doesn't
necessarily
get
held
up
and
it
can
move
along.
Development
can
start
to
happen.
K
N
N
Don't
understand
why
we
have
to
beg
and
plead
for
simple
answers:
simple
requests
to
be
brought
forth
to
us
us
now:
I
I,
all
the
engagement
I
heard
Madam
Vice
chair
heill
said
that
all
the
engagement
that
that
the
Chattanooga
Housing
Association
has
done.
But
to
me
all
of
that
engagement
was
just
to
benefit
the
Chattanooga
Housing
Authority
I
I've
got
a
question.
My
question
is:
where
are
the
let
me
me
rephrase
it?
Where
are
my
people
going
to
be.
O
Placed
the
Housing
Authority
is
not
going
to
place
any
family.
This
program
is
all
about
choice.
So,
at
the
time
that
we
are
counseling
families,
we
will
ask
them
specifically,
where
they'd
like
to
live,
what
amenities
they'd
like
to
see
in
their
neighborhood,
and
we
offer
basically
three
options:
one
which
Christina
set
out,
which
could
be
the
replacement
units
that
are
already
built
and
the
bill
for
strategy.
O
Apart
from
that,
we'll
offer
every
resident
the
opportunity
to
receive
a
mobile
voucher,
a
housing
Choice
voucher
which
will
enable
them
to
move
anywhere
in
the
country
or
if
they
want
to
stay
in
Chattanooga,
they
can
use
it
here
in
Chattanooga,
anywhere
in
Hamilton
County,
but
very
broad
options
of
geography
for
helping
them
find
units.
As
we
talked
about
we'll
be
counseling
the
families,
if
they
want
to
move
to
Alabama
to
be
with
their
families,
then
we
will
work
with
them
in
those
housing
authorities
in
Alabama
to
help
them
find
that
unit.
O
And,
lastly,
we
have
a
portfolio
of
about
20.
Let's
take
away
colle,
Hill,
Court,
say
2,900
units.
We
have
made
arrangements
that
the
families
who
want
to
relocate
to
our
existing
units-
and
we
have
just
done
multi-million
dollar
Rehabilitation
projects
on
units
that
we
own-
where
are
those
they're
all
around
the
city,
but
I
can
give.
O
The
Cromwell
Hills
Apartments
we
have
the
emerald,
Villages,
and
so
that's
over
near
is
that
missionary
rid
over
behind
East
Lake
courts,
there's
one
in
North
Chattanooga
on
devel
Lane
and
the
fourth
one
is
missing
it
right
now,
but
I'll
get
to
it
and
then
our
other
sites.
They
will
go
to
the
tippity
top
of
the
waiting
list.
If
they
choose
that
they
want
to
move
to
Cromwell,
they
will
Trump
everybody
else
on
that
waiting
list
until
we
can
get
them
relocated
in
those
sites.
N
I
disagree
with
you
on
that
you
are
putting
them
someplace,
you're,
putting
them
you're,
taking
them
from
a
place
that
they
are,
which
I
think
like
I'll
say
again.
You
muddy
the
waters
when
you
off
of
the
voucher,
a
simple
question
on
a
survey
if
you
wanted
to
have
given
a
survey
is
to
say
one
question,
one
question
all
you
had
to
ask:
if
this
is
rebuilt,
would
you
like
to
come
back
here?
N
Yes,
no
or
maybe
vouchers
should
have
never
been
put
in
the
equation
in
any
shape,
form
or
fashion,
which
says
to
me
that
you
already
had
in
mind
that
you
did
not
want
them
back
or
you
had
it
set
up
so
that
they
could
not
come
back
for
whatever
reason,
not
being
in
compliance
or
not
being
doing
whatever
it
is
that
they
do.
You
know
what.
N
What
I'm
not
gonna,
do
what
what
I'm
not
going
to
do?
Council
family
I'm
not
going
to
beg
I'm,
not
going
to
plead
I'm,
not
going
to
entertain
none
of
this
foolishness
that
has
been
placed
up
here
in
front
of
me
today,
because
it
is
a
clear-cut
case
and
I
stand
on
what
I
said
the
first
time
it
is
Jim
Crow
sprinkle
from
the
beginning
to
the
end,
and
until
you
can
show
me
that
it
is
not
there
and
what
you
have
shown
me
today.
It
is
still
there
there's
nothing
different.
N
N
N
A
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
it
wouldn't
have
made
it
this
far
in
the
Tiff,
without
the
West
Side
and
the
fact
that
there's
so
much
money
wrapped
up
into
this
I
mean
1.3
billion
and
that
we
are
begging
for
a
simple
survey
that
you
know
we
can
it's
easy
to.
Canvas
is
ridiculous,
so
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
that
you
know
as
much
as
I
love
the
B
project.
Cuz
I
really
do
I.
Think
it's
a
great
project
for
our
city.
A
H
Here
well,
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
my
colleagues
are
WI
women
and
the
things
that
I've
been
listening
and
learning
are
not
always
easy
to
hear
and
not,
and
it
takes
a
lot
to
really
listen
and
and
try
to
understand
and
that's
what
we
need
to
be
doing
more
of
I'm
far
from
perfect
in
this.
But
the
frustration
that
you
feel
is
valid
and
I
I
I
just
go
back
to
this
I
implore.
The
Housing
Authority,
please
stretch
and
learn
and
listen
because
it's
going
to
make
for
a
better
Chattanooga
in
the
long.
Q
K
Yes,
the
only
thing
that
I
would
say
in
closing
is
because
this
development
on
the
West,
Side,
evolves,
I
believe
is
scheduled
to
start
within
the
next
3
to
four
years
and
so
again
as
a
as
a
part
of
the
Tiff
document
itself.
This
Council
has
the
ability
to
withhold
and
to
keep
and
to
retain
those
Tiff
increment
revenues
for
the
Housing
Authority
for
the
next
3
to
four
years.
K
So
from
the
administration's
perspective
again,
we
appreciate
all
of
the
input
that
we
have
heard
and
we
appreciate
that,
and
it
is,
it
is
valid
and
we
we
face
that
headon
our
goal.
Once
again,
though,
was
to
create
a
structure
in
which
we
could
create
funding
for
a
plan
that
was
adopted
by
the
city
council,
and
we
have
done
that
to
create
that.
K
Q
O
Q
Like
honestly,
cuz
I
liveed
in
the
way
side
like
and
then
as
I,
look
out
and
I
see
people
that
I
grew
up
with
in
the
that's
still
living
in
the
west
side.
You
got
my
auntie
and
sitting
in
in
the
front.
You
got
my
mama
best
friend
sitting
like
it's.
These
people
like
I'm,
familiar
with
them
I,
have
relationships
with
them.
Q
It
wasn't
a
place
for
us
to
come,
but
it
was
a
great
place
for
other
people.
So
once
the
transition
happened
for
black
people
to
start
living
in
it,
and
then
we
he,
we
just
saw
the
analysis
map
which
was
very
upsetting
to
me,
and
we
think
about
in
the
one
chatter
nle
plan
when
it
talks
about
about
the
high
rate
of
child
poverty.
When
we
think
about
the
zip
code
of
the
West
side
and
when
we
think
about
the
crime,
that's
happening
all
the
shootings
and
killings.
Q
You
waking
up
with
the
new
that
people
don't
been
killed
in
this
very
same
community
on
every
porch.
Everybody
is
selling
drugs
and
you
may
see
a
body.
That's
done,
overdosed
on
opio
in
the
stairwell.
There
is
no
telling
what
you
may
see.
Those
are
the
stories
of
the
people.
That's
sitting
in
these
yellow
t-shirts,
a
story
that
I
can
most
for
certain
relate
to
so
I
got
a
different
perspective.
I
think
that
this
community
is
deserving
of
it.
Q
O
Q
And
this
I
had
posted
a
question
on
Facebook
about
the
west
side
and
asked
as
like
who
would
want
to
stay
here?
Who
would
want
to
continue
to
live
here?
Some
said
they
would,
and
it
was
mostly
the
older
people
that
live
on
the
Main
Street
side.
That
said,
yeah
I
would
love
to
continue
to
stay
here
and
I
do
see
in
the
plan.
Q
Like
that's
part
of
the
the
first
round
and
phases
they
would
love
to
stay
here,
but
also
what
I
saw
is
that
a
lot
of
people
said
they
didn't
want
to
stay
there.
They
didn't
want
to
return
the
ones
that
do
want
to
return.
I
I
do
I'm
in
line
with
my
colleagues
like,
let's
find
I'm
a
place,
if
that's
where
they
want
to
be,
but
I
can't
imagine
by
2013
that
those
same
group
of
people
will
want
to
be
returning
to
the
West
Side.
Q
It
will
be
my
hope
that
they
will
be
inspired
to
become
a
homeowner
to
where
they
can
transition.
So,
for
me,
is
that-
and
you
know,
I
talk
to
you
about
it
all
the
time
like,
what's
in
the
plan
to
even
before
we
start
building
in
24,
this
group
of
they
may
say,
I
want
to
become
a
homeowner
what's
in
place
to
help
them
trans
trans
from
where
they
at
so
by
2024.
Q
O
We
have
an
active
upward,
Mobility
Program
that
folks
can
participate
in
and
then
once
folks
get
a
voucher.
That
voucher
can
be
used
as
a
soft
second,
on
a
first
on
a
mortgage
for
home
ownership,
and
we
encourage
that.
We
work
with
CN
to
prepare
care
for
home
ownership
to
get
credit
in
order,
and
then
many
many
residents
have
become
homeowners
because
of
the
program
and
so
right.
Q
Okay,
so
you
said
you
can
have
it
the
survey
crafted
up
sent
to
us,
you
can
send
it
electronic
or,
however
you
want
to
do,
but
I
also
would
like
to
add
if
we
can
put
just
the
paperwork
to
say
to
add
the
question:
if
you
want
to
become
a
home
owner,
so
we
can
know
how
many
people
are
interested,
so
we
can
start
getting
them
in
the
pipeline.
Do
you
got
a
pair
of
good,
comfortable
tennis?
Shoes
I
do
all
right
so
next
week,
when
you
get
the
survey
ready
pick
a
Thursday
on
Thursday.
Q
Let's
do
it,
because
it's
a
community
that
we
all
care
about
so
hey
I'm,
looking
forward
to
it
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
some
people
out
there
that
I
really
know
and
I
know
that
they're
excited
about
what's
happening,
so
we
can
decide,
what's
going
to
be
for
the
best
interest
of
the
project
at
that
time.
That's
great!
Thank
you
again
appreciate
it.
