Description
City Council Agenda Session 10.25.22
A
Very
exciting
reunion
and
party,
but
we
will
go
ahead
and
get
started
with
our
Tuesday
October
25th
agenda
session.
We'll
take
a
motion
for
our
minutes.
I
do
have
a
motion
for
the
minutes.
Minutes
will
stand
without
objection
before
we
get
into
our
items
this
evening.
Let
me
double
check.
One
thing
at
the
end:
I
have
under
Department
report
a
Wastewater
update,
but
I
think
that
might
be
an
error.
Is
that
Joe?
Does
that
correct?
Yeah.
A
Thank
you.
We
will
strike
that
from
this
afternoon's
agenda
ordinances
on
Final,
reading,
Public
Works.
We
have
covered
these
items
in
committee.
Are
there
any
questions
or
lights?
I
will
watch
the
board
if
any
council
member
would
like
to
make
comments.
You'll
take
a
look
at
final
reading
ordinances
under
first
reading
councilwoman.
No,
we
are
prepared
to
take
action
on
this
planning
item
a
this
evening.
A
Very
good
and
I'm,
assuming
we
will
see
a
full
presentation
on
that
and
an
amendment
forthcoming.
Absolutely
thank
you.
Ma'am
appreciate
your
work
on
that
Council
under
resolutions
Economic
Development,
several
agreements
authorizing
the
mayor.
If
you'll
take
a
look
at
those
councilwoman
hill
I'll
see
your
lighting
up
the
floor.
D
Thank
you,
chair
I've
spent
a
quite
a
bit
of
time,
studying
this
and
talked
with
Jermaine
this
evening,
I'm
going
to
be
bringing
a
resolution
to
amend
the
alternate
version
with
two
particular
amendments.
One
is
requiring
that
storm
water
fees
be
paid
by
anyone
with
a
tiff
agreement
and
the
other
is
related
to
adding
multi-family
housing
to
the
policy
at
this
time
came
up
because
I
have
a
handful
of
of
things
that
I'd
like
to
see
added
to
the
policy
in
the
next
few
months.
D
The
second
piece
is
four
multi-family
housing
I'd
like
us
to
have
some
standards
for
what
would
be
appropriate
for
the
city
of
Chattanooga
for
a
multi-family
Tiff
before
we
open
up
the
Tiff
for
those
projects
specifically
related
to
the
Amis
that
we
want
to
address
with
tiffs
versus
you
know
ones
that
we
would
address
with
Pilots
things
like
that
Ami
area,
median
income.
Excuse
me,
so
I
think
that
we
would
be
prudent
to
wait
to
put
anything
in
about
multi-family
housing
until
we
have
our
affordable
housing.
D
Czar
chief
chief
housing
officer
on
staff
and
she'll
start
next
month,
so
I'll
be
bringing
that
resolution
in
hopes
that
you
all
would
agree
to
hold
those
two
things
and
Phil
is
putting
that
together.
For
me,
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
already
have
it
in
the
packet.
Just
wasn't
able
to
get
that
ready
before
this
meeting.
A
A
For
it
on
the
items
mayor's
office,
most
of
you
have
saw
the
email.
This
is
actually
extending
Mr
Brewster's
appointment
to
four
years
versus
two,
and
we
appreciate
Mr
Anderson
catching
that
last
week.
So
we'll
get
that
corrected
this
week.
With
this
resolution
parks
and
Outdoors,
we
have
two
items:
Scott
I
want
you
please,
if
you
don't
mind,
come
up
and
talk
about
item
I,
which
has
been
in
the
works
and
now
that
Phil
is
back
with
us.
A
We're
able
to
get
this
into
this
week,
but
I'd
like
for
you
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
Please.
E
Sure
and
thank
you
for
your
patience
and
understanding.
We've
had
a
unique
entrepreneurial
activity
pop
up
to
us
and
that's
the
activation
of
the
summit
softball
complex
for
imagine
this
so
winter
use.
The
good
news
is
this
would
be
a
straight
rental
of
an
underutilized
amenity
during
the
dark
season
months
to
offer
a
holiday
lighted
tour.
Like
you
see
frequently
Across
the
Nation
with
a
private
vendor,
it
looks
to
come
in
the
show
would
run
from
the
18th
of
November
through
January.
E
The
1st
the
rental
fee
would
be
fifty
six
thousand
dollars
to
the
city
for
the
use
of
this
facility
when
it's
not
otherwise
being
used.
We
have
some
details
to
work
out
with
legal
and
Phil
and
his
team
and
being
very
helpful
with
that,
but
I
think
Phil
and
I
feel
confident
that
we're
at
a
position.
Now
we
were
ready
to
bring
that
to
you
for
your
consideration.
Okay,.
E
A
Right
Scott,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
what
you
all
are
doing.
I
feel
like
the
mission
of
the
quality
of
our
parks
in
relation
to
the
quality
of
Our
Lives,
your
department
and
your
leadership
is
taking
that
very
seriously
and
I'm,
seeing
the
animation
and
the
activity
as
a
as
a
priority.
A
One
in
our
Parks
I
know
what
you're
working
with
with
me
in
District,
Four
and
across
all
districts,
and
this
is
an
example
of
staying
on
something
and
and
creating
and
activating
a
place,
that's
very
underutilized
in
in
certain
months
of
the
year.
So
thank
you.
Well,.
E
Thank
you
and
thank
Greta
Hayes
from
the
team
for
her
spirit
and
her
entrepreneurialism
here
that
made
this
happen.
A
And
I
do
and
Greta.
Thank
you
because
you
reached
out
to
me
actually
quite
a
while
ago
and
said
what
do
you
think
about
this
in
in
District,
Four
and
I?
You
know
we
forget
about
that
space
over
there
sometimes
so.
Thank
you
very
much
for
staying
with
us
both
of
you.
Thank
you
all
right.
Any
questions
on
the
oh
Demetrius,
councilman
coonard
see
your.
F
Light
thank
you.
Chair
I
was
just
going
to
add
to
that.
So
now
you
give
us
somewhere
to
go
and
started
having
to
cross
over
the
East
Ridge
in
the
neighborhood
to
go,
see
their
lights
during
Christmas
time,
but
I
also
want
to
Echo
what
the
chairman
was
saying
about
outdoor
Chattanooga
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
like
I.
F
It's
so
many
activities
that
you
all
are
putting
out
weekly
I
can't
I
can't
even
keep
up
I'm
trying
to
hop
to
each
one
of
them,
but
I
really
want
to
talk
about
at
Avondale.
They
had
a
movie
night
and
it
was
just
a
great
event.
We
had
seniors
to
come
out.
It
was
just
a
diverse
group
of
people.
The
kids
enjoyed
themselves.
The
staff
was
interacting
with
the
community.
E
Thank
you.
It
means
so
much
a
little
learning.
We
had
through
this
light
thing
that
we've
learned
very
quickly.
You
have
to
be
I,
believe
a
mile
and
a
half
from
other
bright
lights
to
do
these
shows.
Otherwise
you
don't
get
the
the
dark
light
of
the
light
show,
so
we're
kind
of
limited
on
where
they
can
go.
I
think
they
do
another
one
at
Chester
Frost
for
that
same
Darkness,
sort
of
thing,
but
we're
keen
to
go
anywhere.
That'll
welcome
us
and
we
see
you
out
there.
We
see
you,
we
appreciate
it.
A
Very
good,
you
good
councilwoman
all
right
appreciate
that
Scott.
Thank
you
very
much
Greta.
Thank
you.
Moving
into
public
works
resolutions,
you'll
take
a
look
at
those
I'll,
clear
the
board,
looking
for
any
lights
or
comments.
A
Let's
go
ahead
and
move
into
the
city
council
proposed
agenda
for
November
1st,
we're
still
snickering
about
that
Phil.
If
you'll
take
a
look
at
that,
we
do
have
an
ordinance,
possibly
on
Final
reading
under
planning
equity
and
Community
engagement.
B
Yes,
the
purpose
of
this
ordinance
change
is
simply
to
correct
the
language
where
previously
it
referenced
the
office
of
Multicultural
Affairs
and
now,
obviously,
we
have
the
department
of
equity
and
Community
engagement
and
to
outline
its
functions
and
purposes,
I
believe
at
the
equity
committee
a
little
bit
later.
B
There
will
be
kind
of
a
detailed
discussion
of
that,
but
that
item
simply
acknowledges
the
shift
that
mayor
Kelly
has
made
to
emphasize
Community
engagement,
the
focus
on
equity
in
the
department
and
then
also
our
burgeoning
office
of
new
Americans
and
and
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
was
reflected
in
the
ordinance.
Thank.
A
A
A
Were
you
going
to
prepare
us
like
a
little
cliff
notes
or
a
one
sheet
on
that
item?
A
yeah
is
that
what
you've
already
sent
us?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you
for
that
I'm!
Sorry,
there's
been
a
lot
of
emails
flying
around
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
so
Council
you
do
have
that
email
that
we
had
requested
information
on
that.
So,
if
there's
any
questions
and
then
of
course,
Scott
you're
bringing
reindeer
to
the
riverfront
okay,
well,
you
guys
are
really
active,
so
awesome,
very
good.
A
Okay,
we
do
not
have
a
department
report
this
afternoon.
I
need
to
re,
bring
up
the
conversation
again
for
our
holiday
time
off.
I
have
been
told
Bill.
We
need
to
be
actually
out
of
here
on
the
27th
and
the
3rd
of
January,
according
to
everyone,
that's
lined
up
coming
together,
so
the
stars
align
that
we
can
get
this
done
so
Council
Iowa.
We
had
originally
talked
about
the
20th
and
the
27th.
So
I
would
like
to
ask
for
your
consent
to
be
off
the
27th,
and
the
third
is
our
new
dates.
A
Okay,
seem
no
objection.
Madam
clerk!
Will
you
make
sure
that
is
posted
on
our
website
that
we
we
will
not
be
in
session
on
the
27th
and
January
3rd
27th
of
December?
Thank
you,
councilwoman
Hill.
You
brought
up
a
good
point
to
November
8th
is
election
day.
We
normally
take
and
move
our
schedule
back.
So
I
would
ask
if
Council
has
any
thoughts
on
that
I
will
throw
out
4
P.M
for
Council
time
and
2
30
or
2
o'clock
for
our
agenda
session.
A
230
and
4.
2
30,
we
will
have
agenda
four
o'clock,
will
be
our
council
meeting
for
business
and
that's
on
November,
8th
Madam
clerk,
if
you'll
make
sure
and
Phil
make
sure
that's
noted.
Thank
you
all
right
and
I
think
that
is
all
that
I
have.
We
have
two
committees
this
afternoon
unless
there's
any
other
business
to
come
before
Council
before
we
adjourn
it
to
committee,
seeing
no
lights,
equity
and
community
will
kick
it
off
for
us.
Would
you
like
to
stay
where
you're,
okay,
I'll?
Just
you?
G
G
I'm
gonna
brush
to
you.
Thank
you
good
afternoon.
Everyone
can
I
get
an
approval
on
a
minute.
Thank
y'all.
So
much
today
for
our
equity
and
Community
Development
committee
meeting
we'll
be
having
us
having
several
updates
excited
for
the
office
of
equity
to
come
up
to
get
their
first
report.
What
Ms,
Tamara
store,
followed
by
Anthony,
Samus
or
Tony
Tony
salmon
is
coming
up
with
the
community
center
update,
as
well
as
some
additional
Community
Development
updates,
so
I
believe
Tamara
has
a
presentation
for
us
and
I.
H
H
This
is
my
current
staff
org
chart
and
I
would
like
for
Siena,
Navarro
and
Karen
Collins.
To
please
stand.
They
are
two
directors
within
my
organization.
Karen
is
the
director
of
Supplier,
Diversity
and
Sie
is
the
director
of
the
office
of
new
Americans.
Thank
you
both
so
much
for
all
of
your
support.
As
we
have
been
forwarding
this
New
Path
within
this
department.
Vanessa
Jackson
could
not
be
here
today
because
she
is
serving
in
a
different
capacity
on
jury
duty,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
acknowledged
her
as
well.
H
H
Truly
because
the
understanding
is
that
sometimes
equality
by
giving
everyone
the
same
of
everything,
does
not
necessarily
meet
all
of
the
needs
of
the
community.
So
we're
moving
towards
an
equity
framework
where
we
are
assessing
the
needs
of
of
members
of
our
communities
as
we
determine
what
those
resources
and
what
those
supports
need
to
look
like
so
really
shifting
from
equality
to
equity.
And
so
those
functions
are
being
absorbed
into
the
department
of
equity
and
Community
engagement.
H
And
you
all
have
on
your
list
for
future
considerations
and
update
to
that
city
code
to
really
change
the
name
of
the
department,
but
not
just
the
name.
Also
expanding
the
scope
of
the
work
to
be
more
based
around
Equity
versus
equality.
H
Couple
of
accomplishments,
I
want
to
kind
of
talk
about.
The
functions
of
this
will
not
go
away,
so
we
will
continue
to
do
the
work
to
elevate
the
community
to
bring
people
together
to
help
expand
opportunities.
Some
ways
that
we've
done
that
since
I've
been
here,
we've
reconvened
our
summer
intern
program
that
had
to
kind
of
take
a
little
bit
of
a
lull
during
covet.
We
had
interns
that
we
hosted
this
summer.
H
We
did
extend
several
of
those
interns
into
fall
assignments
and
we
are
looking
to
grow
and
expand
the
interim
program
as
we
go
into
the
spring
in
partnership
with
human
resources.
We
also
recently
hosted
a
Japanese
tea
ceremony
to
celebrate
culture
at
the
Heritage
house,
and
we
had
a
really
great
time
at
the
dunes
Heritage
House
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
where
we
brought
members
of
the
community
all
from
all
parts
of
the
city
together
to
really
highlight
a
traditional
Japanese
tea
and
provide
education
around
the
meaning
behind
the
service
of
the
team.
H
As
I
mentioned
in
the
goals,
we
want
to
enhance
the
intern
program
and
grow
it.
We
want
to
continue
to
partner,
to
host
and
promote
cultural
events
that
either
we
are
promoting
as
the
host
or
in
partnership
with
parks
and
Outdoors,
Community,
Development
and
other
City
Partners.
But
we
also
have
been
sought
out
to
elevate
and
promote
events
from
local
community
members,
and
we
have
started
doing
that
as
well.
H
And
then
we
will
have
an
ECE
equity
and
Community
engagement,
Advisory
Board,
understanding
that
there
you
did
used
to
be
an
Oma,
Advisory,
Board
and
there's
a
lot
of
interest
from
the
community
to
maintain
a
direct
level
of
input
into
how
we
lay
out
the
strategy
for
our
department.
So
we
will
be
reinvigorating
an
Advisory
board
so
that
we
can
engage
members
of
the
community
more
directly
into
our
work.
H
H
We
had
a
situation
where
the
migrants
were
dropped
off
in
the
city,
and
we
we
led
the
response
efforts
for
that
as
it
relates
to
the
city,
and
we
are
really
proud
of
the
fact
that
we
were
able
to
help
people
meet
people
where
they
were
and
do
so
with
compassion,
maintaining
dignity
and
also
Safety
and
Security
of
those
people
that
we
were
able
to
assist.
H
So
the
first
thing
in
terms
of
accomplishments.
We
hired
the
director
and
we
started
the
office,
and
then
we
responded
immediately
and
effectively
as
a
city,
and
that
was
a
collaboration
and
partnership
across
multiple
departments,
and
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
it
wasn't
just
the
office
of
new
Americans.
It
was
the
office
of
new
Americans
in
conjunction
with
the
CPD,
in
conjunction
with
technology
services
and
public
works,
and
people
who
came
from
all
parts
of
the
city
Carta
to
help
us
mobilize
that
response,
and
we
really
appreciated
that
partnership.
H
We
also
were
able
to
host
a
Hispanic
and
Latino
Faith
leaders
delegation.
It
was
the
first
time
that
we've
had
that
many
Faith
leaders
from
the
Hispanic
and
Latino
community
at
City
Hall,
at
one
time
across
multiple
religious
backgrounds,
representing
approximately
35
different
congregations
across
this
city.
H
So
we
have
received
overwhelming
feedback
from
the
pastorate
and
the
the
lay
pastors
that
were
a
part
of
that,
to
the
extent
that
we
plan
to
continue
to
hold
those
convenings
on
a
quarterly
basis,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
elevating
the
that
they
have
a
mechanism
to
elevate
the
concerns
of
their
community
and
we
have
a
mechanism
to
get
information
to
members
of
the
community
all
across
the
city.
So
we
were
very
excited
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
really
look
forward
to
engaging
them
further.
H
Some
goals
that
we
have
coming
up.
We
want
to
develop
a
special
immigration
juvenile
pipeline
to
employment
and
citizenship.
This
will
be
really
streamlining
and
connecting
a
network
of
support
as
we
develop
the
pipeline
so
that
people
work
through
in
a
streamlined
and
coordinated
fashion.
We've
got
multiple
partners
across
various
agencies
that
we'll
be
working
with
on
this
effort
to
include
the
Juvenile
Justice
Center,
the
Hamilton,
County
Schools,
non-profit
partners
and
members
of
the
legal
community.
H
We
also
will
collaborate
with
the
CPD
on
internal
to
CPD
and
city
employees,
training
efforts,
but
also
Community
training
efforts
to
help
prevent
crimes
against
members
of
this
community
and
also
support
the
victims
in
a
more
robust
fashion,
and
we're
really
excited
about
the
commitment
from
Chief
Murphy
and
the
CPD
to
make
sure
that
we
have
representatives
in
the
community
where
people
feel
like
they
can
build
in
roads
to
trust
through
Hispanic
liaison
officers.
And
we're
really
excited
about
that.
Also.
H
We
are
working
with
multiple
partners
to
establish
a
data
plan,
because
what
we've
understood,
particularly
around
the
Immigrant
and
Refugee
Community,
is
that
data
is
sparse
and
very
fragmented
across
different
agencies.
So
we're
looking
to
be
able
to
collate
that
information
figure
out
where
those
trusted
entities
so
that
we
can
get
true
and
accurate
data
around
who's
in
the
community,
so
that
we
can
best
leverage
services
in
a
meaningful
and
strategic
way.
Foreign.
H
So
a
couple
of
the
accomplishments
that
we've
had
in
Supplier
Diversity
we've
streamlined
the
certification
renewal
process
for
those
businesses
that
were
already
registered
to
do
business
with
the
city
to
make
it
easier
for
them
to
renew
their
certification
and
reduce
administrative
burden.
We've
also
increased
participation
in
the
minority
business
roundtables,
which
is
really
an
Outreach
effort
to
provide
networking
opportunities
and
connection
to
resources
and
support
for
small
women
and
minority
owned
businesses.
H
Some
of
the
businesses
are
at
the
startup
phase,
where
they
are
at
idea
in
concept.
Some
of
the
businesses
are
at
the
stay
space
where
they
want
to
maintain
the
business
that
they
have
and
they
want
to
maintain
the
health
and
thriving
of
their
organization,
and
then
we
have
some
businesses
that
participate
that
are
at
the
scale
up
so
they're
looking
to
grow
and
expand
their
business
opportunities,
and
so
we
try
to
make
sure
that
we
have
programming
that
meets
the
needs
of
everyone
across
those
different
areas.
H
H
This
is
an
effort
that
we
really
started
after
covet
numbers
kind
of
started
to
wane,
and
so
this
program
has
been
in
place
for
approximately
nine
months
we
went
from
having,
on
average
about
24
businesses
registered
to
attend
to
now
again,
we
were
at
75
last
night,
so
we're
super
excited
about
the
growth
of
this
program.
People
are
talking
about
it,
they're
excited
they're,
engaging
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
grow
and
expand
that
offering
to
our
minority-owned
businesses.
As
we
move
into
the
new
year.
H
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
a
little
bit
some
of
the
diversity
data
that
we've
captured
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
Kevin
bartonfield
in
purchasing
and
with
Jermaine
and
economic
development,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
aligning
our
strategies
across
those
three
groups
to
best
meet
the
needs
of
small
women
and
minority-owned
businesses,
and
that
we're
we
have
a
focus
on
the
events
that
we
do,
such
as
the
purchase
and
fair
the
strategy
that
we're
building,
as
we
continue
to
lay
out
policy
and
inform
how
we're
going
to
accomplish
the
goals
of
the
one
Chattanooga
plan
and
then
also
the
data
and
making
sure
that
we're
collecting
the
same
data
and
looking
at
the
same
numbers
to
really
track
and
monitor
progress.
H
So
our
current
from
fiscal
year
22,
the
total
City
spend,
was
371
million
164.
H
554.35,
the
total
spin
for
small
and
minority
owned
businesses
within
that
time
frame
was
16
million,
79
998.40,
the
the
difference
between
small
and
minority
owned
versus
minority.
The
small
include
includes
those
businesses
that
have
the
thresholds
where
they
are
between
1
million
and
40
million
dollars
in
total
revenue
and
100
to
1500
employees.
So
the
classification
for
small
is
based
on
the
skill
and
scope
of
the
business,
whereas
minority
includes
those
ethnic
classifications
and
subcategories
such
as
disabled
veterans,
lgbtq
plus
Etc.
H
So
we
will
be
tracking
to
that
and
as
we
start
to
gauge
the
policy,
the
data
that
we're
collecting
and
where
we've
got
gaps,
we
will
continue
to
move
that
goal
forward,
and
this
is
directly
in
line
with
the
disparity
study
that
you
all
approved
in
I
want
to
say.
It
was
February
of
2021,
so
this
directly
correlates
to
the
findings
of
the
2019
disparity
study.
H
So
we
will
continue
to
report
on
these
numbers
and
we
have
several
other
goals
that
we
will
be
looking
at,
such
as
increasing
the
number
of
mwob
registered
businesses
by
20
and
then
also
increasing
the
diverse
spend
across
business
classifications
by
10,
so
that
we
really
start
to
leverage
A
diversity
of
vendors
across
different
categories
of
spin
based
on
service
type
and
goods
type.
So
we
will
continue
to
establish
Target
for
that
and
monitor
that
as
we
progress.
But
that's
where
we're
going
to
start
Community
engagement.
H
H
Some
key
goals
so,
as
I
mentioned
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
offer
extended
for
the
director
role.
We
want
to
develop
a
comprehensive,
Community
engagement
strategy
across
the
entire
city,
so
we
are
talking
with
one
voice
that
will
be
done
in
partnership
with
Tony
and
and
the
communications
department
and
several
other
partners
to
make
sure
that
when
we
show
up,
people
have
a
consistent,
look
and
feel,
and
we
don't
come
across
as
siled
across
the
city.
H
Depending
on
what
area
you
represent,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
on
developing
metrics
to
track
progress
and
also
measure
performance
to
ensure
that
we
are
being
Equitable
in
terms
of
where
we're
sponsoring
events,
where
we're
showing
up
for
places
where
we're
holding
things.
So
we
will
continue
to
establish
Targets
in
those
regards.
H
So
current
Department
priorities
number
one
fully
staffed
the
department
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
are.
We
have
the
capacity
to
be
able
to
meet
the
need.
I've
been
very
excited
since
we
came
in
and
started
doing,
training
across
the
city
which
you'll
see
in
one
of
the
bullets.
We
have
started
having
an
increase
of
calls
of
requests
from
different
city
departments,
from
different
leaders
from
people
who
are
looking
at
programming
and
wanting
to
engage
the
community.
H
H
Surely
but
then,
across
other
services
and
other
methods
of
Outreach,
that
we
are
engaging
across
the
city
so
that
when
we
are
looking
at
where
we're
going
the
communication
channels
we're
using
when
we're
hosting
events
we're
doing
so
with
an
equitable
approach,
and
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
all
members
of
the
community
feel
as
though
that
they
can
engage
with
the
city.
H
We
have
provided
training
for
all
the
city
managers
that
have
gone
through
the
supervisor,
training
and
partnership
with
human
resources.
So
we
were
able
to
make
sure
that
we
had
time
on
those
agendas
and
we
trained
approximately
329
managers
over
the
last
several
months-
around
diversity,
Equity
inclusion
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
speaking
the
same
language
and
we
have
a
baseline
understanding.
But
we
are
now
in
the
works
to
develop
training
for
all
city
employees.
H
And
so
you
will
see,
provide
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
training
for
all
city
employees
as
a
current
priority,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
an
understanding
around
what
it
is
we're
going
after
and
how
we
should
treat
each
other,
not
just
in
the
city.
In
terms
of
employee,
the
employee,
but
also
how
we
should
engage
with
our
community
members,
we
will
develop
an
equity
framework
for
internal
operations.
H
So
this
really
looks
at
what
is
the
criteria
that
we
should
be
evaluating
as
we
are
developing
plans
as
we're
looking
at,
where
we're
doing
expanding
resources,
to
make
sure
that
we're
asking
the
right
questions
and
including
the
right
stakeholders,
so
that
no
one
is
Left
Behind
and
that
will
have
performance
measurements
that
will
be
attached
to
that
to
track
how
we
are
doing
and
monitor
progress,
and
that
was
the
last
bullet.
Enhanced
and
developed.
City
metrics,
with
an
emphasis
on
equity
and
I,
will
be
quite
transparent.
H
So
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
about
how
to
move
things
forward
is
an
area
that
I
see
of
opportunity
for
our
department,
as
it
relates
to
equity,
so
making
sure
that
we're
looking
at
the
same
definitions-
and
we
know
what
we're
talking
about
and
we're
looking
at
the
right
indicators
to
track
whether
or
not
we
are
Equitable
and
our
approaches
will
be
a
focus
of
our
department
moving
forward
and
then.
Lastly,
are
there
any
questions,
foreign.
I
I
Are
we
Equitable
in
hiring
firing
practices,
pay
promotion?
All
of
that.
It's
my
understanding
that
when
there's
no
identifiers,
no
factors
to
identify
people
that
those
data
are
available
and
yet
we've
not
been
able
to
get
it.
Can
you
be
helpful
there.
I
We've
been
got
we've
gotten
piles.
These
are
very
simple,
simple
questions,
and
it
mostly
has
to
do
with
gender
age
and
race.
Okay,
and
it
has
to
do
with
hiring
promotion,
pay
Equity,
those
sorts
of
things.
Okay
and
the
idea
there
is.
We
think
the
city
probably
does
a
pretty
good
job,
but
the
Secret
Squirrel
stuff
is
is
making
us
a
little
concerned.
So
if
we
could
sure
thanks.
H
D
If
you
am
I
all
set
yeah,
okay,
thank
you
very
much
for
this
presentation
and
for
the
dedication
that
you
have
to
this
work
to
questions.
One
with
regard
to
the
city
spend
three
percent
of
the
spend
currently
with
minority
owned
businesses
that
are
also
small
businesses,
so
that's
cut
from
the
small
business
minority
business
and
then
we
cut
and
it's
minority
small
business
is
that
am
I
understanding
that
correctly,
that's.
H
D
D
Okay,
and
so
the
current
spend
right
now
with
those
businesses
is
10.9.
11
million
ish
moving
to
a
three
and
a
half
percent
goal
of
our
total
City
spend.
What
does
that
actually
bring
us
to
for
the
next
year
like?
How
much
are
we
actually
adding
by
adding
a
half
percent
of
spend?
Well.
H
D
H
D
Yeah
I'd,
like
to
understand
I,
mean
it's
important
to
make
realistic
goals,
but
also
to
make
goals
that
we
have
to
work
hard
to
achieve
right.
I
agree.
If
that's
just
one
contract,
you
know,
is
that
aggressive
enough,
so
something
I'd
like
to
know
a
little
more
about
the
other.
D
The
other
thing,
thank
you
when
I
think
about
equity
and
our
role
as
as
a
city
and
our
role
specifically
as
city
council
people,
I
I,
see
that
we
have
an
opportunity
most
especially
to
look
at
systems
and
systems
that
that
we
as
people
created
in
an
effort,
at
least
for
myself,
often
to
to
do
my
best
work
and
to
make
the
the
world
as
best
we
can,
and
yet
sometimes
we've
had
unintended
or
intended
consequences
that
have
led
to
to
Major
disparities
within
our
community.
D
So
I
recognize
you're
doing
that
work
around
purchasing,
but
I
wonder
what
other
systems
within
our
city
are
on
the
short
list
to
be
looked
at
next.
H
Thank
you
councilwoman,
so
very,
like
I'm,
going
to
try
to
make
a
short
list,
because
I
have
a
lot
of
things,
of
course,
that
I'm
interested
in
going
after
but
I
do
think
purchasing
in
contracts.
Obviously
right
but
I
think
to
Dr
Burr's,
councilwoman
Burgess,
point
I,
think
internal
to
our
city
in
terms
of
how
we
operate
from
an
equitable
standpoint,
even
with
our
own
employees
is
an
area
of
focus
because
we
got
to
practice
what
we
preach
and
we
have
to
be
able
to
show
that
we're
not
going
out
trying
to
change
the
world.
H
We
haven't
swept
around
our
own
front
door,
and
so
that's
an
area
of
focus
for
me
as
well.
But
I
think
when
we
look
at
where
we
are
Paving,
where
we
are
having
events
where
we
are
infusing
capital
and
Investments,
and
so
the
way
that
that
looks
in
terms
of
work
that
I'm
currently
doing
I'm
working
with
Scott
Martin
in
parks
and
Outdoors.
As
we
look
at
the
park,
Equity
plan
and
I'm
informing
that
work,
I'm
working
with
Dan
Roeder
and
the
RPA
as
we
look
at.
D
I
A
D
Know
I
think
when
we
you
talk
about
an
equity
framework
when
we
bring
a
framework
and
we
we've
got
to
build
a
way
of
being
and
when
this
becomes
a
way
of
being,
then
perhaps
we
don't
even
have
to
have
that
department,
but
right
now
you
know
we
still
need
to
talk
about
sustainability
and
Equity
is
one
we
absolutely
have
to
have
until
we
are
being
it.
So,
thanks
for
what
you
do,
thank.
H
G
Thank
you
so
much
councilwoman,
Hill
I,
don't
see
any
more
likes
or
any
other
questions.
So
thank
you
so
much
Tamara
for
your
for
your
presentation.
Your
first
presentation
and
councilwoman
Hill
actually
tackled
into
my
question
about
the
percentage
of
of
you
know:
minority
owned
businesses
and
things
and
I
think
that
data
is
very
important
for
us,
especially
as
we
begin
to
approach
budget
season
again.
Having
this
in
mind
moving
forward,
so
I
really
appreciate
you
very
much.
Thank.
G
Chair
I
appreciate
you.
Thank
you.
Yes.
Well
done.
Next
up,
we
have
Tony
Sammons
with
some
updates
about
our
community
centers,
as
well
as
and
from
the
office
of
family
empowerment,.
J
Good
afternoon
councilwoman
and
members
of
council
I
want
to
commend
my
colleague

outstanding
initial
report
with
ours

various
divisions.
This
is
part
two
of
our
report
from
August,
so
we'll
only
be
hearing
from
our
community
centers
team,
as
well
as
our
director

the
office

family
empowerment
and

update
also
on
our
community

committees
as
well.
So
we'll
start

with
both
Chris
Brown
and
Taya
Moore.
K
Good
afternoon
Council,
it's
been
a
while,
since
we've
seen
you
and
a
lot
of
things
have
been
going
on
and
we've
been
very
excited.
We
had
a
a
very
exciting
summer
with
summer
camp,
so
we
just
got
some
some
quick
updates
for
you.
Immediately
after
summer
camp,
we
began
working
with
our
community
center
staff
and
we
hosted
our
first
in-service
training.
One
of
the
the
biggest
things
that
Tony
has
tried
to
instill
in
our
department
is
training,
so
we
were
able
to
outline
our
policies
and
procedures.
K
Training
for
the
entire
division
of
community
centers,
along
with
that
is,
is
programming
for
the
future,
we're
kind
of
the
the
front
lines
of
the
community,
our
community
center
staff.
So
it's
important
that
they
have
the
tools
and
the
skills
needed
to
to
offer
programming,
that's
related
to
that
community
and
then
also
customer
service,
which
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
we're
looking
at
moving
towards
the
future.
K
Our
red
track
implementation,
so
Rick
Track
is
our
management
system
that
we're
using
in
our
community
centers
and
so
we're
looking
to
expand
that
more
Rec
track
is
used
to
track
the
number
of
participants
that
are
coming
into
our
community
centers,
and
it
also
works
for
folks
that
want
to
do
facility
reservations
that
want
to
register
for
programs.
K
And
finally,
before
we
go
on
to
the
senior
pilot
program,
is
we
can
offer
the
greatest
programs
that
a
community
center
has
ever
offered?
But
we
also
have
to
make
sure
that
we
have
adequate
staff.
K
So,
since
China
and
I
have
have
been
here,
we
have
been
able
to
to
hire
about
14
positions,
and
so
we
want
to.
We
want
to
thank
Mandy
and
the
human
resources
team
on
helping
us
craft
and
and
get
these
new
employees
hired
and
along
with
not
just
hiring
them,
but
when
they
come
on
making
sure
that
they
understand
the
vision
of
where
we're
going
in
Community
Development
and
the
vision
of
where
we're
going
as
Community
Center.
L
L
Well,
that's
the
reason
why
I
am
the
Elder
of
the
group
and
which
I
don't
mind,
don't
mind
at
all
and,
like
he
was
saying,
our
senior
pilot
program
is
a
program
that
we
just
initiated
here
not
too
long
ago,
and
the
purpose
of
this
was
we
have
been
getting
phone
calls
emails
and
and
letters
from
residents
complaining
about
not
having
nothing
in
their
neighborhood
or
having
to
drive
too
far
to
Eastgate.
L
You
know
to
participate
in
the
senior
program,
so
what
we
decided
to
do
was
to
hit
the
four
corners
of
the
world
or
Chattanooga
and
create
you
know
some
senior
pilot
programs
or
something
I
sent
it.
So
we
chose
wires,
South
chat,
Glenwood,
Hixson
and
Jay
Patton,
and
by
doing
this
we
have
had
over
3
300
participants
and
it's
still
growing
daily
and
I'm,
not
kidding
I
mean
we
go
out
there
and
every
day
there's
new
people
that
want
to
come
in
and
participate,
and
so
we've
been
collecting
data.
L
We
also
been
doing
surveys,
that's
something
that
Chris
and
myself
has
been
doing
here
in
the
last
couple
weeks
and
it
has
been
going
great.
We
just
want
to
hear
from
the
from
the
scenes
and
to
find
out,
you
know
their
needs
and
their
concerns,
and
and
programs
and
stuff
and
I'm
telling
you
it
has
been
great
and
believe
it
or
not.
I
have
been
participating
in
pickleball.
So
if
you
haven't
played
pickleball.
L
And
some
of
the
other
thing
that
we're
trying
to
do
is
expand
the
program
and
training
because,
like
I
said,
we've
been
asking
them.
What
do
you
want
to
see?
You
know
in
your
community
and
how
can
we
help
you
have
a
better
life
and
live
longer
and
trust
me?
They
are
living
longer
because
I
played
against
the
82
year
olds
that
he
woke
me
out.
But
anyway,
this.
L
Right,
oh,
no,
they
do
talk
trash
too
I
mean
they
do
it
all,
and
so,
by
doing
it,
like
I
said
we
trying
to
enhance
the
program,
enhance
the
sites
and
as
well
as
bringing
healthy
I
mean
offering
healthy
classes
and
and
situations
like
we've
been
working
with
the
office
of.
L
That's
right
office
of
Community
Health,
and
so
we
have
nurse
Navigators
at
these
sites
and
I'm
telling
you.
It
has
been
a
great
great
thing
so
far
so,
like
I
said
me,
being
an
elder
I
want
to
talk
about
the
senior
program.
They
are
dear
sweet
to
my
heart
and
in
a
few
years
my
age,
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
it.
I
would
love
to
see
y'all
come
out
and
participate.
K
Thanks
all
right,
you
don't
want
to
see
me
on
the
pickleball
court.
It's
it's
quite
funny
all
right,
so
councilwoman
dotley
I
need
to
see
Smiles,
okay,
big
smiles,
so
exciting
news
about
our
East
Lake
Community
Center.
It
is
going
fabulous.
K
The
paving
and
sidewalk
work
are
in
the
final
stages,
so
we're
extremely
excited
about
that.
We
have
been
out
at
this
site
dozens
of
times.
I
want
to
thank
the
Department
of
Public
Works
and
all
the
vendors
technology
Services,
who
have
been
integral
part
in
making
sure
that
this
this
process
has
run
very
smoothly.
K
We're
expecting
the
certificate
of
occupancy
around
mid-December,
with
a
projected
opening
date
of
mid-January,
so
Council
will
be
sure
and
councilwoman
will
be
sure
to
get
you
that
information
as
well,
and
let
the
public
know
about
that.
Grand
opening
so
exciting
news
as
it
relates
to
that.
K
Moving
on
to
some
other
community
center
renovation
updates
John
a
Patton
project
is
going
very
smooth
as
it
relates
to
the
AC
and
the
flooring
updates.
We
had
a
little
bit
of
a
hiccup.
We
had
a
rainstorm
come
through
and
cause
a
little
bit
of
flooding,
but
we
have
been
working
with
public
works
and
the
on-site
vendor
to
get
all
of
that
stuff
corrected.
K
If
you
know
Mr
Jim
long,
who
is
the
community
center
manager
in
that
location,
he's
extremely
passionate
about
this
project
and
thank
you,
Council
councilman
Henderson,
for
all
of
your
support.
I
think
I
got
word
from
public
works.
K
If
they're
looking
to
do
some
exterior
lighting
outside,
which
is
going
to
be
great
for
that
site
and
great
for
the
community
and
also
moving
on
to
North
chat,
we
were
able
to
work
with
the
Department
of
Public
Works,
as
it
relates
to
a
new
gym
floor
I'm
that
one
personally
hits
me
I
started
in
that
Community
Center
when
I
was
six
years
old
and
it
was
this
still
the
same
floor,
so
I'm
very
excited
that
they
are
getting
a
new
gym
floor
out
there
in
that
area.
K
So
thank
you
and
also
the
most
exciting
one
is
at
the
East
Gate
Senior
Center
got
word
from
Public
Works
that
that
site
is
starting
today
to
get
a
new
floor.
So
the
seniors
are
going
to
be
kicking
the
leg
when
that
floor
gets
in.
So
we
are
extremely
excited
about
that,
and
I
spoke
a
little
bit
about
this
at
our
last
presentation
about
Community
Center
signage
on
October,
the
11th,
we
did
our
kickoff
at
the
Chris
L
Ramsey
senior
community
center.
K
This
was
the
first
sign
to
be
officially
changed,
and
so
we
are
extremely
excited
and
extremely
honored.
As
we
remember
Mr
Ramsey,
he
was
a
personal
mentor
to
me
and
to
so
many
people,
so
we're
very
excited.
If
you
have
not
been
there,
there
is
a
plaque
that
is
sitting
as
you
go
into
the
community
center,
and
so
it
really
for
our
staff.
It
meant
a
lot
and
especially
for
the
community.
K
M
We're
good
so
Todd,
just
if
you
really
want
some
competition
for
pickleball
come
see
me.
Yes,.
L
M
We
know
how
to
talk
trash
if
you
could
go
back
a
couple
of
slides
to
the
senior
pilot
you,
you
piqued
my
attention
about
something:
John,
a
Patton
has
four
stars
by
it.
What
okay.
K
Let
me
explain
it
four
stars:
okay,
so,
as
you
know,
they're
going
through
a
renovation
right
now,
but,
as
you
know,
Mr
Jim
long
does
not
like
closing
the
facility.
So
we
have
four
stars
there,
because
some
of
the
data
is
skewed,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
that
to
the
council.
But
we
we
wanted
to
note
that
some
of
their
attendance
might
be
a
little
lower
is
because
GM
has
sectioned
off
part
of
the
building
and
he's
still
trying
to
so.
Okay.
M
F
Thank
you
chair
this,
a
chip.
He
asked
one
of
my
questions,
but
since
we
do
not
own
the
Eastgate
facility,
are
we
paying
for
the
floor
or
it's
Eastgate?
Are
they
the
ones
who
played
for
the
for
the
floor
at
the
senior
shoes
as.
F
They
giving
us
a
discount
on
the
rent,
no
okay
and
also
I'd
like
to
the
senior
programs.
The
pilots
I,
hope
that
you
all
continue
that
in
our
recreation,
centers
I
know
some
on
Council.
They
are
excited
about
the
senior
program
of
being
at
Eastgate
I'm,
not
one
of
those.
That's
a
fan
of
it.
I
think
we
waste
too
much
money
and
we
can
use
that
money
to
invest
in
our
community
centers
and
add
additional
program
that
we
need
that
community
members
keep
begging
for
and
we
keep
telling
them.
F
We
don't
have
the
money
to
provide
those
programs
into
those
sites,
but
I
have
been
able
to
interact
with
our
seniors,
in
particular
at
the
Glenwood
site,
and
they
are
just
so
happy.
You
know
it's
in
the
community.
It
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
be
outside
past
four
o'clock,
Eastgate
they
close
early,
they're
engaged
in
different
activities
like
Spades.
You
know
the
things
that
we,
like
you
know,
black
communities
and
seniors
they
like
to
play.
F
I
actually
learned
the
line,
dance,
the
we
can't
get
enough
of
you
by
Tamil
from
our
seniors
I
learned
that
at
the
Glenwood
Center,
so
I'm
in
there
on
Thursday.
You
know
running
tens
on
the
Spade
table.
F
You
can
come
hit
me
up
at
the
Glenwood.
Center
just
want
to
put
that
challenge
out
there
for
you.
Yes,
this
councilwoman
still
play
cards,
but
I
do
want
to
just
make
sure
to
encourage
you
guys
to.
Please
continue
to
have
that.
J
We
appreciate
that
and
US
piloting
this
throughout
the
city
is
our
team
listening
to
the
community
and
Glenwood
was
the
first
pilot
location
and
we've
received
nothing
but
good
praise
in
relation
to
that
and
it's
good
to
know
that
you
are
engaged
in
playing
Spades
and
you're
running
tens,
but
don't
let
the
bow
tie
fool
you
I
can
I
can
I
can
I
can
sit
at
a
table
in
this
councilman
Henderson
said
yeah.
J
We
do
know
how
to
talk
trash
so
to
to
add
a
little
bit
in
as
it
relates
to
the
pilot
of
our
senior
programming.
It
is
an
imperative
that
we
are
being
more
active
in
our
in
our
work
and
one
it
takes
us
to
listen
to
the
seniors.
J
We
started
engaging
and
trying
to
provide
the
programs
that
is
being
asked
of
by
those
communal
areas
and
pickleball
has
been
the
new
thing
and
working
with
our
our
partners
in
parks
and
Outdoors,
who
put
a
challenge
out
there
to
us
early
on
and
I
purposely
did
not
respond
because
I
wanted
to
wait
and
as
Chris
indicated,
it
would
be
funny
to
see
him
out
there
playing
pickleball.
Well,
there
was
a
video
of
him
playing
pickleball
and
you're
right
it.
J
It
was
funny
and
so
we're
going
to
continue
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
gather
the
data
and
the
data
is
showing
us
that
we're
heading
in
the
right
direction
of
providing
that
type
of
programming
throughout
the
city
and
not
just
having
it
in
One
Singular
location.
So
we
look
forward
to
adding
more
senior
programming
throughout
all
of
our
community
centers.
J
Just
shifting
just
a
little
bit
of
giving
you
an
update
on
our
community
advisor
committees.
Remember
those
are
ones.
We
spoke
to
you
about
the
last
quarter,
that
are
the
voices.
Oh.
N
Thanks
a
lot
to
Tony
Ty
Chris
Administration,
thanks
for
all
you
guys
do
appreciate
all
that
and
I
guess.
My
questions
is,
as
we
merge
effectively
to
a
one
Chattanooga,
the
Eastgate
Center
and
the
senior
pilot
program
are
their
collaboration.
Do
you
partnered
with
them
or
what.
J
They're
not
they're,
not
separate.
This
is
really
trying
to
enhance
providing
more
resources
throughout
the
city.
Eastgate
currently
is
still
doing
what
they
have
been
doing
for
a
number
of
years,
but
answering
the
call
to
our
citizens
who
have
expressed
that
they
have
challenges
trying
to
get
to
Eastgate
from
their
home
locations.
J
So
we
wanted
to
put
a
pilot
out
in
different
areas
of
the
city
to
see
if,
indeed
placing
those
activities
in
their
areas
making
it
more
more
accessible
for
them
to
participate
to
see,
if
indeed
we're
we're
tracking
the
right
way-
and
it
has
been
successful.
So
this
was
not
in
replacement
but
to
to
answer
the
call.
J
Okay
again,
our
community
advisor
committees
will
consist
of
our
citizens
in
their
respective
neighborhoods,
where
our
community
centers
are
housed,
and
there
are
the
voices
that
will
be
working
hand
in
hand
with
our
center
staff,
our
Administration,
as
well
as
being
the
voice
to
the
mayor's
staff
as
to
what
our
citizens
have
identified
as
their
needs
and
their
desires.
We
have
done
a
lot
of
work
in
this
area
and
I
want
to
introduce
Gary.
J
Rudolph
Gary
is
our
liaison,
who
will
be
taking
the
charge
and
has
put
a
lot
of
time
in
the
development
of
the
bylaws
and
the
guidelines
and
the
training
that
will
take
place
for
those
citizens
that
will
participate
in
the
various
committees
throughout
the
city
and
Gary
will
be
working
feverishly
with
these
organizations
throughout
and
we're
ready.
Now
we
have
gotten
all
of
our
background
work
done.
J
We
have
been
advertising
trying
to
get
more
citizens
who
are
interested
to
participate
on
one
of
the
Committees,
and
so
we've
got
several
names
that
have
been
shared
with
us,
that
we
are
doing
the
final
going
through
the
final
steps
and
getting
those
individuals
prepared
to
come
before
Council.
J
For
approval,
where
we
can
stand
up
several
of
our
committees,
hopefully
within
the
next
month,
foreign
I'm
breaking
my
own
protocol,
I,
was
going
to
say
the
best
for
last,
but
as
I'm
pausing
to
before
bringing
Rachel
up
I
like
to
introduce
to
you
our
new
addition
to
our
team,
one
that
I've
been
trying
my
very
best
to
get
that
this
role
filled,
and
that
is
of
our
Deputy
for
the
Department
I'd
like
to
introduce
the
council
and
to
our
guests
and
the
chambers
Mr
Don
Walker,
who
comes
to
us
from
a
long
tenure
working
with
the
Chattanooga
aquarium
and
don.
O
Good
afternoon
Council
again
I'm,
Don,
Walker
and
I'm
just
so
excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
Dynamic
team
in
Community
Development.
They
are
just
just
a
special
group
and,
of
course,
I
look
forward
to
serving
the
residents
of
Chattanooga
I've
closed
out.
My
12th
day
working
for
the
city
and
I
can
tell
you.
It's
been
busy
I've
gone
to
four
community
centers,
plus
the
Heritage
House
and
I've
talked
to
over
40
staff
members.
O
So
I
can
tell
you.
The
team
is
working
hard
and
I've
hit
the
ground
running
so
I'm
very
excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
team
and
and
certainly
look
forward
to
serving
our
community.
Thank.
J
And
the
only
worry
I
had
before
Don
finished
his
12th
day.
Okay
was
that
he
was
coming
back
the
day
after
the
first
day
and
when
he
did
I
I
asked
him.
So
what
do
you
think-
and
he
said
I
had
no
no
idea.
I
think
I
need
to
wear
a
different
pair
of
shoes,
so
he
did
hit
the
ground
running.
We
are
working
harmoniously
as
a
team
and
working
with
all
our
leadership
to
move
our
agenda
forward.
J
A
Rachel
before
you
start
I'll,
just
if
you
don't
mind,
I'd
like
to
take
Mr
Walker,
welcome,
I,
appreciate
you
coming
on
board
and
I
wanted
to
say
also
to
you
mentioned.
Gary
Rudolph
and
I'm
really
excited
about
that,
because
I've
known
Gary
for
probably
25
years-
and
he
is
a
he-
is
a
giant
in
this
community
as
well
and
I'm
very
excited
to
hear
of
him
of
his
placement.
So
thank
you.
P
Thank
y'all
good
afternoon,
so
quick
update
on
ofe.
We
have
been
interviewing
to
fill
open
positions.
We
have
a
lot
of
vacancies
which
councilman
kumrock
can
tell
you
about.
She's
heard
us
complain.
P
We
have
extended
offers
this
week
for
two
additional
vacancies.
So
that's
good
news.
P
We
are
interviewing
this
week
for
a
front
desk
clerk
I
hope
to
have
that
selection
made
before
November
1st,
and
we
have
two
positions
for
the
water
program
that
are
in
the
process
of
being
created
and
posted
in
Oracle
I
hope
to
get
those
up
pretty
soon,
so
we
can
start
hiring
those,
and
then
we
have
one
additional
navigation
clerk
position
to
post
to
help
our
navigation
team,
but
we
have
added
some
really
exceptional
people
to
our
team
and
we
have
a
great
group
of
people
working
in
ofe
to
get
the
work
done
so
I'm
pleased
about
that.
P
We
had
our
annual
in-service
training
the
week
of
September
26th.
We
learned
about
eviction
prevention
from
our
former
City
attorney.
We
had
a
mock
eviction
Court
in
our
office,
which
is
really
fun,
and
we
learned
a
lot
about
what
that
is.
Like
for
our
clients-
and
we
had
our
required
annual
trainings
around
compliance,
title
VI,
Ada
confidentiality
and
others-
and
we
did
our
annual
Aroma
training
Roma-
is
results,
oriented
management
and
accountability.
P
It's
a
framework
that
is
used
throughout
Community
Action
across
the
country
to
shape
our
program
delivery
and
our
reporting
and
tracking
of
our
outcomes
I'm
a
nationally
certified
trainer
in
Roma,
so
I
train
our
agency
and
other
agencies
across
the
state
and
how
to
implement
Roma
and
their
agencies,
and
it's
fun.
We
do
it
every
year.
If
y'all
want
to
come
sometime
come
on,
we
have
served
so
far
in
quarter,
one
the
city's
quarter,
one.
P
We
have
served
637
households
in
LIHEAP
for
a
little
over
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars,
and
we
have
served
69
families
in
our
family
support
program
for
a
little
over
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars.
Our
teams
are
working
really
hard
to
meet
the
needs
that
are
out
there.
Our
fiscal
year
we're
on
a
federal
fiscal
year,
so
our
fiscal
year
started
October
1st,
so
we're
seeing
a
huge
increase
right
now
in
LIHEAP
applications.
During
this
month
we
gave
up.
P
We
had
a
drive-through
application
distribution
thing
at
South
chat
where
we're
living
right
now
that
first
week
and
we
gave
out
over
1200
applications
just
in
the
first
couple
days
of
the
program
year,
so
those
are
making
their
way
back
in
steadily
to
be
processed
and
we're
working
on
those
constantly
getting
those
out
and
getting
those
paid.
P
Our
team
has
done
a
fantastic
job
of
pulling
together
and
getting
the
work
done.
They've
just
they've,
been
amazing.
I
can't
say
enough
about
my
team.
I
have
an
amazing
amazing
team.
P
We
have
received
about
1.8
million
for
the
low-income
household
water
assistance
program,
otherwise
known
as
lywop
from
thda
and
we're
working
to
get
that
program
off
the
ground.
I've
sent
vendor
agreements
out
to
all
the
utility
providers
that
would
be
involved
in
that
program.
Those
are
coming
back
slowly,
I'm
following
up
on
those
in
my
free
time,
so
we
can
get
those
all
in
and
signed
and
we're
working
to
get
the
staff
hired
to
process
the
applications.
P
Once
we
do
fully
launch
once
we
get
the
agreements
in
place,
I'm
going
to
have
a
training
for
the
vendors,
so
they
understand
what
to
expect,
but
the
process
looks
like
and
how
they
can
help
their
customers
apply
for
the
program
and
then
we'll
do
a
training
for
our
partners,
so
they
can
help
their
clients
access
this
resource
too.
Once
it
gets
to
be
in
place.
P
We
had
our
first
meeting
of
The
ofe
Advisory
board
on
October
13th
I
was
very
excited.
This
is
a
long
time
coming
and
it
was
really
fun
to
have
my
first
board
meeting
with
my
very
own
board
and
they're
great.
P
We
have
a
great
board,
we're
very
excited
to
work
with
this
group
of
community
leaders
to
help
us
drive
the
Strategic
plan
and
to
broaden
our
impact
on
the
community
and
then,
lastly,
we
wrapped
up
our
IMPACT
program
in
mid-september,
and
we
are
so
proud
of
the
results
that
we
achieved
during
that
pilot
project.
Our
third
and
final
cohort
had
100
graduation
rate,
which
was
absolutely
phenomenal.
They
were,
they
were
so
fun
to
work
with
and
we
learned
a
lot
from
them.
So
that
is
all
okay
thank.
G
J
I
will
address
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
The
only
final
update
that
I
I
would
like
to
share
is
the
excitement
we
continue
to
have
as
we're
in
preparation
to
move
out
to
our
new
campus.
I
was
just
out
there
again
today
to
see
how
far
we've
gotten
and
we
are
on
target
to
hopefully
move
in
or
begin
that
moving
process
mid
to
late
November.
G
D
Thank
you.
Chairwoman
I
just
had
two
quick
success
stories
to
share
that
have
come
out
of
this
Department's
work
that
were
really
thrilling.
The
first
relates
to
community
centers.
D
You
all
may
remember
me
bemoaning
the
fact
that
in
my
district,
children
in
the
community
actually
were
not
allowed
in
our
community
center,
because
only
seniors
were
allowed
there.
Well
now
children
are
allowed
in
and
there
are
some
senior
activities
and
they're
piloted
and
they're
going
great,
but
something
really
special
that
happened
is
that
we
have
children
that
are
walking
long
distances
to
go
to
the
center
and
they're
interacting
with
the
seniors.
In
fact,
one
young
man
was
invited
to
join
the
seniors,
Table
Tennis
League.
D
Apparently
you
have
to
be
a
member
at
some
point.
You
can
only
participate
and
don't
you
have
to,
and
so
he
went
to
the
potluck
I
mean
he's
just
there's,
just
some
really
wonderful,
intergenerational
relationships
that
are
being
made.
I
think
that's
really
important
and
so
hats
off
to
the
team.
For
that
and
then
also
last
month,
I
happened
to
get
a
phone
call
just
before
our
Council
dinner
from
a
woman
who
brought
to
me
a
a
critically
desperate
housing
need
where
a
apartment
or
a
duplex
had
been
purchased.
D
They
are
representative
of
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
neighbors,
and
so
it
was
just
a
real
shot
in
the
arm
when
we
think
about
you
know
the
the
bureaucracy
that
we
build
in
trying
to
serve
our
people
to
see
that
it
works
and
and
that's
a
family
that
is
warm
and
safe
because
of
the
work
that
this
department
did.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
F
Thank
you,
chair,
Mr
Samus.
Are
there
any
plans
for
like
services?
So
if
you
have
a
day
that
the
services
can
be
out
into
the
community
at
the
community
centers
because
I
know,
you
know,
although
they're
going
to
move
to
the
campus
in
District
Six
a
lot
of
the
communities
of
you
know
they
don't
have
transportation
to
get
there.
I
have
to
take
multiple
bus
routes
or
will
Services
be
streamlined
to
be
accessible
online.
They
can
submit
their
documents
or
things
like
that.
F
I
know,
particularly
in
Eastdale
that
Highway
58
area
Cromwell
area,
for
instance,
you
know,
there's
not
a
bus
that
come
there
at
all
and
you
know
having
the
access
to
come,
get
help
from
office
of
family
empowerment.
You
know,
maybe
having
to
take
a
uber
depend
on
somebody
else
to
come.
How
can
we
make
it
more
accessible
for
communities
who
are
without
transportation?
Well,.
J
Our
teams
are
going
to
be
scheduling
to
go
out
into
the
communities
where
it's
going
to
be
more
accessible
for
them
to
reach
our
team,
our
our
our
desires,
to
be
more
intentional
about
our
work,
meaning
that
we're
taking
the
services
to
the
community
as
opposed
to
being
housed
in
a
location
that
makes
it
more
of
a
challenge
for
our
residents
to
get
there
to
get
the
services
that
they
stand
in.
Need
of.
So
we're
trying
to
remove
those
barriers
by
going
to
the
people.
F
Okay,
wow
pretty
not
just
for
my
district,
but
when
I
think
about
people
and
look
out
value,
this
imagine
how
far
they
got
to
travel
to
get
the
services.
I'm
sure
you
know
all
the
stuff
that
I'm
talking
about
probably
was
considered
when
we
was
thinking
about
a
plan
to
just
have
it.
You
know
everybody
situated
on
one
campus,
but
when
we
think
about
these
Pockets
these
communities,
who
is
not
really
accessible
to
I,
like
the
idea
of
you
all
bringing
it
out
into
the
community
and.
J
G
M
M
M
One
is
a
follow-up
on
our
violence
prevention
initiative
by
Dr
Lambert,
but
we
are
going
to
start
with
our
Park
quarterly
report
and
Council
I
do
have
some
handouts
available
if
anybody
does
not
have
theirs
available
just
online,
there
is
a
a
version
online
and
we
would
like
to
welcome
the
new
park
chair,
Miss,
Mary,
Ann
Hensley
and
did
Miss
Baker
just
throw
you
to
the
wolves
and
leave
you
all
to
yourself.
Q
M
M
M
We
we
would
like
to
welcome
you
to
to
our
Public
Safety
Committee,
and
you
have
the
floor.
Thank.
Q
You
Council,
as
Mr
Henderson
said,
my
name
is
Marianne
Hensley
I'm,
the
newly
elected
chair
of
the
police,
advisory
and
Review
Committee,
so
here
to
walk
through
our
quarterly
report
for
Q3,
which
hopefully
you
have
in
front
of
you
and
can
follow
along
with
I,
can
just
kind
of
dive
right
into
it
should
be
pretty
straightforward
in
in
what
you're
used
to
hearing
from
July
through
September
of
this
year
we
have
reviewed
62
cases
involving
77
officers.
Q
36
of
those
complaints
were
citizen
generated,
but
only
five
of
those
were
found
by
the
chain
of
command
or
park
to
have
an
actual
violation.
So
so
good
things
there,
26
of
the
complaints
were
generated
internally
by
the
department
and
19
of
those
were
found
to
have
a
violation
which
makes
a
lot
of
sense
a
lot
of
times.
Cases
are
not
even
going
to
come
up
unless
the
the
CPD
knows
that
there's
a
violation
involved.
There
are
also
other
instances
where
cases
are
required
to
be
reviewed,
such
as
use
of
force.
Q
Q
So
to
walk
through
just
the
overall
breakdown
of
complaints
by
category
of
violation
that
is
contained
within
the
chart
in
section
two
I
won't
walk
through
it
verbatim,
but
you
can
kind
of
see
that
breakdown
and
I
will
come
to
that
momentarily.
Since
Park
began
reviewing
cases
in
October
2020
through
the
end
of
September
2022,
we
have
reviewed
a
total
of
346
cases
involving
422
officers
in
20
of
those
cases.
Q
And
then,
as
I
mentioned
in
section
two,
you
can
find
the
chart
that
breaks
down
the
violations
by
category
as
far
as
the
number
of
complaints,
some
of
those
are
a
bit
higher,
but
I
would
encourage
you
just
to
make
sure
that
you're
reviewing
the
totality
on
the
second
and
the
third
columns
identify
cases
where
the
chain
of
Commander
Park
actually
found
a
violation
to
have
taken
place
so
important
to
view
everything
in
context.
There.
M
M
You
very
much
for
for
your
service
and
for
stepping
up
to
the
plate
to
serve
as
chair,
because
that
is
a
big
role.
Do
we
have
any
questions
for
Ms
Hensley
at
this
time
from
the
council.
M
Well,
it
looks
like
you've
done
a
pretty
thorough
job
on
your
first
attempt
here.
Good
job
well,.
Q
R
Our
most
excellently
appointed
representative
from
District
three
in
our
appointment
to
chair
of
Park,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
being
willing
not
to
serve
on
this
board
as
one
of
the
initial
members,
but
then
also
taking
on
this
role.
As
the
chair
said,
it
is,
it
is
a
very,
very
important
role
in
giving
these
reports.
While
this
one
is
short
and
you
will
not
get
any
complaints
based
on
the
time
so
waiting
yeah
might
have
had
its
benefit
today.
R
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
to
be
with
us
today
and
and
wait
this
entire
time
to
be
able
to
give
you
a
report
really
appreciate
all
the
work.
Absolutely.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman.
Now
we're
going
to
make
sure
you
go
first
next
time
so
you'll
be
you'll
have
at
least
an
hour
worth
of
questions
about
that.
This.
L
A
You
seriously
for
your
service
I
know:
councilman
Smith
has
placed
a
great
trust
in
you
from
the
very
beginning
and
and
I'm
just
super
excited
to
see
you
come
on
his
chair
and
Echo.
The
sentiments
for
your
leadership,
so
thank.
M
I
think
that
concludes
all
of
our
questions.
Thank
you
so
much
all
right.
Now
we
will.
We
have
a
follow-up
presentation
on
our
violence
prevention
initiative
from
our
August,
the
30th
Public
Safety,
Committee,
meeting
and
I.
Think
Dr
Lambert
has
some
data
specific
to
each
district
that
she's
going
to
share
with
us
at
this
time.
Dr
Lambert.
S
Good
afternoon
good
afternoon,
Council
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
for
the
follow-up
I
believe
we'll
have
to
do
more.
Of
these
I
did
want
to
bring
forward
Chris
Sands,
who
is
the
interim
executive
director
for
Community
safety
and
gun
violence
prevention.
The
office
of
Community
Health
has
been
quite
busy
with
our
three
program
activities.
S
This
is
one
of
our
Leading
Edge,
just
trying
to
get
that
program
stood
up
with
the
staff,
so
we'll
bring
forward
what
Chris
and
I
and
our
new
Public
Health
Data
person
have
put
together,
but
we
look
forward
to
coming
back
on
a
regular
basis
to
provide
more
data,
more
information
and
look
forward
to
your
questions
on
the
presentation.
S
C
All
right
as
a
quick
update
from
the
August
30th
time
that
we
met,
we
want
to
talk
about
Community
safety
and,
what's
taking
place
up
to
this
point,
the
major
rollback
to
end
gun
violence
in
Chattanooga
asserts
that
gun
violence
is
a
Public
Health
crisis
that
is
threatening
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
city
to
move
towards
a
solution.
The
office
of
Community,
Health
charges,
Community
safety
and
gun
violence
prevention,
division
to
work
on
a
comprehensive
plan
that
models,
intervention
and
prevention.
C
C
C
Okay,
thank
you
so
much,
but
in
the
process
of
while
we're
trying
to
get
that
Under
Wraps
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
things
as
it
pertains
to
intervention
and
prevention
with
young
people
there.
It
is
all
right.
C
One
thing
that
we
want
to
make
mention
of
is
that
the
male
brain
isn't
fully
developed
into
his
mid-20s
and
there's
a
lot
of
things.
That's
been
taking
place
around
this,
so
they're,
not
small
adults.
Instead,
we
want
to
call
them
not
juveniles,
but
we
want
to
call
them
what
they
are
and
that's
children,
intervention,
providing
social
service
support
to
at-risk
individuals.
We
have
been
able
to
assist
over
30
people
as
far
as
cater's
clients
is
concerned
with
social
services,
employment,
life,
motivation
tools,
performance
intake
and
assessment
tools.
C
C
We
have
also
have
been
able
to
have
a
great
partnership
with
a
lot
of
people
from
the
community.
Both
non-profits
churches
and
various
other
organizations
we
are
so
excited
not
only
for
those
organizations
but
I
want
a
person
say.
Thank
you
to
Chief
Murphy
and
entire
CPD.
We've
been
able
to
partner
on
a
lot
of
different
events
for
our
young
people,
both
as
it
pertains
to
intervention
as
well
as
prevention.
C
Currently,
we've
been
able
to
Target
eight
schools
consistently.
There
has
been
a
great
effort
on
our
part:
that's
East,
Ridge
High,
School,
Howard,
High,
School,
Red,
Bank,
Middle
and
High
School
Orchard,
now
middle
China,
middle
China,
High
best
tea
Shepherd
in
Brandon,
High
School,
based
on
conversations
that
we've
been
having
with
young
people
they've
been
talking
a
lot
about
future
ready
and
things
of
that
nature,
but
we
also
want
to
do
something
for
their
parents.
C
So
we've
been
having
discussions
with
principal
Gerald
Harris
to
ensure
what
we
can
do
as
pertains
to
the
community
trade
school,
to
provide
ongoing
training
and
teaching
not
just
for
the
young
person,
but
also
for
their
family,
who
are
in
need
as
well.
C
C
There
we
go
oh
prevention.
Instead
of
relying
on
the
children
to
be
more
resilient,
children
need
to
have
a
safe
space
to
go.
We
had
a
lot
of
different
conversations
over
the
summer,
as
well
as
when
school
started,
asking
the
young
people.
What
are
some
things
that
you
would
like
to
do?
What
are
some
things
that
you
would
like
to
see
and
based
on
the
data?
We
know
that
every
fall
break,
there's
an
uptick
in
crime
So.
After
talking
to
the
young
people,
we
begin
to
ask
questions.
C
C
We
saw
over
2
000
young
people
for
the
entire
week,
just
to
be
able
to
see
The
Smiling
Faces
to
have
safe
spaces
for
the
young
people
was
absolutely
phenomenal
foreign
students
every
day,
hey
what
school
do
you
go
to?
We
asked
them
what's
going
on
not
only
in
your
school,
but
what?
What's
your
zip
code?
What
what?
What?
What
area
do
you
represent,
and
this
is
a
list
of
the
schools
that
was
represented-
that
came
out
pretty
much
every
day
during
fall
break?
C
37405-37403
and
37402
I
just
wanted
to
put
just
a
brief
map
of
some
of
the
things
that
transpired
in
what
districts
they
were
in,
based
on
the
conversations
that
we
had
with
the
young
people,
they
said:
hey,
we
want
to
have
stuff
in
Hixson.
We
want
to
have
stuff
in
Lookout
Valley.
C
We
want
to
have
stuff
in
various
districts
and
locations,
so
these
are
the
places
that
we've
done
that
so
far
just
wanted
you
all
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
see
the
different
districts
and
what
we've
been
able
to
do
thus
far,
and
that's
all
the
stuff
that
you
saw
earlier
from
the
skate
night
in
Hamilton
Place,
all
the
way
to
the
movie
night
at
Miller
Park.
We
just
wanted
to
highlight
that,
so
you
can
see
it
here
are
some
of
my
attend
this
data.
C
We
had
majority
females,
believe
it
or
not,
that
showed
up
pretty
much
every
day.
It
was
absolutely
phenomenal
and
some
of
the
conversations
that
we
had
with
the
young
ladies,
are
like
what
brought
you
out
tonight.
They
said
we
felt
safe.
C
We
began
to
just
talk
to
them
about
mentorship
and
they
say
they
want
to
look
for
other
women
to
Aspire
to
and
things
of
that
nature,
and
it
was
absolutely
amazing
to
have
that
those
particular
conversations
and
dialogues
with
those
young
people
also,
we
have
a
breakdown
of
the
different
demographics
of
young
people
that
was
present
every
day.
C
Some
of
the
current
things
that
we're
doing
every
day
during
lunch,
we
are
at
Howard
High,
School
from
12
to
2
spending
time
at
different
lunches,
I'm,
just
making
sure
we
provide
support,
as
you
all
know,
that
this
particular
School
how
it
is
the
largest
school
in
Hamilton
County,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
do
our
due
diligence
to
support
mentor
and
just
provide
Aid
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
with
the
different
young
people
from
all
walks
of
life.
C
We've
been
able
to
monitor
hallways
at
lunchtime
and
spend
time
with
those
young
people
there,
as
well
as
Tana
High
School.
Also,
we've
been
able
to
go
to
bestie
Shepherd
and
read
to
the
young
people
and
impact
them
as
much
as
we
possibly
can,
both
third
and
fifth
grade,
and
last
but
not
least,
we've
been
able
to
volunteer
at
Hixson
high
school
and
just
provide
some
safe
spaces
there
for
young
people.
C
This
is
what
we
learned.
Students
won't
continue
with
safe
spaces.
They
want
career
opportunities.
We
can't
ask
them
to
put
down
what
they've
been
doing
if
we
don't
put
nothing
else
in
their
hands,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
our
due
diligence
to
teach
them,
not
just
the
soft
skills
that
they
need,
but
also
provide
opportunities
for
employment
or
teach
them
a
trade
or
a
skill
and
put
some
immediate
funds
in
their
pocket.
They
want
to
have
adults
to
listen
to
them
and
not
talk
at
them.
C
They
were
very
adamant
in
telling
us
that
hey
too
many
times
we
get
preached
to
too
much
so
we
tune
out
we
shut
down,
and
we
really
don't
want
to
listen
to
what
is
being
said.
Another
thing
that
was
a
positive
that
we
learned
is
that
the
young
people
really
enjoy
spending
time
with
CPD.
We
had
a
kickball
tournament.
They
was
able
to
hang
out
with
them.
They
was
able
to
have
fun
at
the
lock-in.
C
Ask
questions
they
had
some
tough
questions
with
a
couple
of
people
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
officer
craw.
He
was
phenomenal
in
answering
those
questions
showing
up
every
day
and
being
able
to
be
relatable
to
the
young
people
and
all
his
20-plus
years
of
service.
He
was
able
to
kind
of
help
with
the
mindsets
of
the
parents
and
all
that
good
stuff.
It
was
absolutely
amazing.
C
C
C
M
I
have
a
board.
That
is
completely
done.
M
Let
me
see
who's
First
Council
last
year,
Dolly.
C
G
I,
just
and
one
of
the
slides
you
mentioned
well
for
the
fall
break
and
I
know
that
was
a
great
success.
Oh
you
mentioned
that
a
lot
of
times.
We
do
see
an
uptick
in
suspicious
or
criminal
type
behavior.
During
that
time,
were
you
able
to,
or
are
you
able
to
collect
some
data
to?
Let
us
know:
did
that
really
did
it
impact?
Did
it
make
any
difference
between
maybe
a
previous
the
past
two
previous
or
three
previous
fall
breaks
versus
what
you
all
did
this
for
this
fall
break?
C
C
I,
don't
even
know
how
to
begin
to
even
give
that
particular
data,
but
the
week
of
fall
break.
There
was
no
youth
violence
at
all
here
in
Chattanooga
Tennessee,
so
we.
C
N
We
use
the
words
of
foreign
city
councilman,
Anthony
Byrd,
you
guys
are
amazing.
Thank
you.
You
guys
are
amazing.
Man,
I'm
I've
I
noticed
the
decreased
student
violence
as
far
as
kids,
too
I
was
looking
at
that
too.
During
that
period
of
time,
your
Labor's,
not
in
vain,
keep
up
the
good
work.
Man
thank.
L
F
Thank
you,
chair
sayings,
hey
I,
appreciate
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
my
grandson.
He
attend
Dalewood
and
he
decided
this
year.
He
didn't
want
to
go
on
his
family
vacation
because
he
wanted
to
spend
time
with
Troy
since
Ladarius
and
Montreal
and
that's
all
he
consistently
talk
about.
He
and
his
friends.
You
know
he's
sharing
about
the
good
things
that
you
all
have
the
positive
impact
that
you
have
on
his
life.
F
So
I
appreciate
all
that
you
do
not
only
for
him,
but
for
all
the
other
kids
that
attend
everything
that
you
all
do
we
previously
was
Contracting
with
an
organization
called
father
to
the
fatherless
and
they
went
out
into
the
schools
doing
the
same
similar
thing
and
we
as
a
council,
decided
oh
one
day.
Oh
the
services
wasn't
needed,
although
we
knew
the
data.
That's
that
told
differently,
and
then
we
saw
the
results
of
what
happened
once
those
Services
were
removed
from
those
schools.
F
So,
I'm
glad
that
you
all
recognized
the
need
and
actively
participating
back
into
those
schools
and
actually
doing
the
work
not
just
doing
the
mentoring
portion
of
it,
but
the
coaching
and
also
including
families
that
are
sending
our
students
to
those
schools
and
not
just
really
concentrating
in
the
core
inner
city
areas,
because
what
you
you
showed
here
is
that
it's
students
from
every
zip
code
and
attending
every
school
that
need
these
services
that
are,
you,
know,
working
poor
families
are
needing
assistance
to
help.
It's
a
diverse
group
of
family
members.
F
It's
not
just
black
people,
the
story
that
we
always
hear.
It's
a
variety
of
people
that
need
the
help.
So
thank
you
and
I
hope
that
this
will
continue
just
throughout
the
year,
not
just
fall,
break
I
know
you
will
go
out.
I
saw
it
my
hats
off
to
you
all,
but
also
I,
want
to
know.
You
mentioned
East,
Ridge
and
Red
Bank.
Do
you
know
if
there
are
city
council
or
County
Commission
or
their
Mayors
are
actively
engaged
in
this
work
as
well?
C
I'm
not
sure
of
but
here's
my
ass
to
the
council.
If
you
all
get
the
opportunity
we
let's
go
into
the
schools
I
want
you
all
to
see
what's
taking
place,
hear
from
the
young
people
hear
from
the
teachers
hear
what's
going
on
and
we
can
figure
out
what
this
principal
is
able
to
do
and
what
you
all
can
able
to
come
up
with.
M
I
think
that
is
all
the
lights
that
I
have
at
this
time.
Do
you
have
more
to
present
to
us
or
no.
S
S
So
what
we're
pleased
to
do
that
and
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
regularly
bring
forward
some
numbers
of
impact
and
the
data
that
that
I
think
is
really
helpful
in
your
decision-making
decision-making
process
and
your
deliberations
so
we'll
be
bringing
that
forward
and
we'd
appreciate
any
questions
that
you
have
any
more
specifics
that
you'd
like
to
have
on
data
numbers.
I
heard
you'd
council
member
about
the
numbers.
So
we
we
look.
M
We
do
have
a
follow-up
by
Vice
chair,
not
work.
G
Yeah
this
one
is
for
Chris,
oh
with
the
success
of
the
fall
break.
Are
we
planning
to
do
anything
for
Christmas
or
spring
well,
I,
guess,
holiday
or
spring
break?
Yes,.
C
For
for
all
the
holidays,
we
are
in
the
process
of
working
on
having
something
for
the
young
people,
but
not
only
just
for
my
department
but
other
departments
as
well
as
other
Community
Partners.
We
don't
want
to
burn
out
the
team
as
much
as
we
possibly
can.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
everyone
is
good
for
the
Long
Haul,
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
doing
that.
We
started
planning
already
for
summer
break,
so
we're
making
we're
making
some
moves.
S
Marsh,
just
to
mention
we
do
have
a
Team
Planning
effort
for
Thanksgiving
week,
so
all
of
them
and
it's
a
team
multi-city
Department,
as
well
as
external
Community
Partners
planning
these
events
more
to
come.
I
S
I
I
I
I
think
you
may
be
looking
at
some
of
that
data.
I,
don't
know
if
they
talk
to
you
Chris
or
what.
But
we
hear
a
lot
about
the
effect
of
all
kinds
of
violence,
gang
violence,
all
the
stuff
you're
looking
at
on
the
effect
of
of
young
women,
and
so
they
may
be
contacting
you
with
your
permission,
may.
S
They
yes
ma'am,
okay,
yes
ma'am!
Please
do
I
mean
because
we
do
want
to
look
at
that.
We
are
following
that.
We
do
want
to
plan
interventions
that
will
address
that,
for
the
sake
of
the
the
women
who
experience
violence,
as
well
as
for
the
the
children
in
those
families
who
are
being
traumatized
because
they
live
in
the
homes
with
that
kind
of
violence
right.
So
we
need
to
see
that
so
yes,
please
have
them
contact
us.
M
All
right,
thank
you
so
much
and
judging
from
the
engagement
of
the
council,
I
think
this
will
be
something
that
Dr
Lambert,
that
we
would
like
to
see
on
a
quarterly
basis
is
Terry
anything
else
that
we
need
to
cover.
