A
C
Good,
you
think
we
have
two
purchases
recommended
for
approval.
The
first
is
from
Finance.
The
department
is
requesting
a
ten
thousand
dollar
increase
to
the
blanket
agreement
for
financial
advisory
services
from
pfm

LLC
the
increases
to
cover
a
financial,
consulting
project
that
the
vendor
is
going
to
be
completing
for
the
Department.
This
will
bring
the
total
annual
cost
estimate
to
110
000
and
second
from
the
Department
of
Technology
services.
This
is
a
sole

purchase
of
software
from
client

through
the
Chattanooga
Regional
Homeless
Coalition.
A
E

Council

shall
come
forth
on

state
your

address.
Each

by
other
governmental
bodies
or
agencies.
H
The

I'll
use
the

denigrate
others.
The
speakers

the
council
as
a
whole

not
make
comments

the
meeting
by
physical
action
or
verbal
utterance,
with
the
intent
to
prevent
or
disrupt
a
lawful
meeting
or
gathering.
I
I'm
Joshua
David
capelis
I'm
an
advocate
for
unsheltered
Citizens,
primarily
in
the
district
here
off
of
11th
Street
But.
It
includes
a
lot
of
other
districts
in
here
and
what
I
did
as
far
as
representing
folks
is
to
get
a
legal
power
of
attorney
to
be
able
to
speak
here,
because
a
lot
of
folks
can't
be
here.
I
You
know
God
works
in
mysterious
ways
and
for
whatever
reason,
he's
put
it
upon
my
heart
to
care
deeply
about
other
folks
in
this
community
and
across
the
country.
As
a
veteran
you
know,
I've
served
my
country
and
established
a
life
here
in
Chattanooga
and
the
surrounding
areas
and
over
the
course
of
that
time.
I
I've
incurred
a
lot
of
memories,
mostly,
which
are
good
I've,
been
able
to
you,
know
complete
a
college
degree
and
establish
a
business
in
Tennessee
here
in
Chattanooga
and
I
built
the
first
refueling
station
for
alternative
fields
in
Chattanooga
and
done
a
lot
of
other
stuff.
But
basically,
when
I
started
out
with
this
homeless,
Mission
I
really
was
excited
to
help
out.
Folks
and
I
still
am
don't,
don't
get
me
wrong
all
right,
it's
heavy
lifting
out
there.
All
right,
the
police
here
have
a
term
on
their
car.
I
It
says
service
with
Integrity
service
is
what
we
do
when
we
serve
our
community.
We
sacrifice
something:
that's
valuable
to
us
to
give
to
others
for
the
benefit
of
them
and
also,
if
you
consider
the
rising
Tides,
raise
All
Ships,
you
know,
and
so
that's
what
we
do
when
we
provide
resources
for
other
folks
when
they
don't
have
resources
to
provide
from
themselves
or
others
we
step
in,
hopefully
as
best
we
can
to
support
and
help
those
folks.
So
integrity
means
the
quality
of
being
honest
and
having
strong
moral
principles
or
moral
uprightness.
I
It
also
means
the
state
of
being
whole
and
undivided
in
the
Air
Force.
We
had
the
core
value
of
Integrity
first
service
before
self
and
excellence
in
all,
we
do,
and
that's
never
left
me
and
as
a
disabled
veteran
who
struggles
with
PTSD
and
depression.
It's
very
hard
for
me
to
come
home
and
see
folks
out
there,
and
you
know
honestly,
I
had
a
lot
of.
How
would
you
say
the
service
work
gives
me
a
lot
of
personal
satisfaction.
It's
my
medicine.
I
You
know
I
love
to
serve
and
help
folks
and
I,
don't
see
a
greater
need
than
helping
out
homeless
veterans
down
here
in
Chattanooga
and
since
there's
technically,
how
would
you
say
not
quite
a
lot
of
zoning
on
tiny
homes
and
different
things?
It's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
come
together
and
create
better
zoning,
you
know
and
to
find
what
works
and
what
doesn't,
but
that
takes
testing
it
takes
Theory.
I
It
takes
design,
it
takes
implementation,
not
just
standing
here
and
talking
so
I
want
to
get
to
work
and
build
homes
for
homeless
folks,
especially
veterans,
so
very
soon,
I'm
going
to
drive
across
the
country
from
Langley
Virginia
to
the
Golden
Gate
Bridge
in
California
to
raise
funds
for
homeless
veterans
in
Chattanooga,
and
you
know
I'm
going
to
set
the
date
for
that
and
if
nothing
else,
if
y'all
won't,
let
me
build
homes
because
you
know
I'm,
not
a
qualified
contractor.
I
You
know
I'll
raise
some
money
and
give
it
to
whoever
will
do
that,
but
I
want
to
have
a
message
of
Triumph
across
this
country
and
unity.
The
same
way
I
did
before
and
I
hope
you
all
can
help
me.
Also
Yoda
I've
got
a
letter
for
Tim
Kelly.
If
you
mind
giving
him
you've
always
looked
me
in
the
eye
and
you've
done
a
great
job.
So
thank
you
for
your
service,
so
I
can't
say
anything
bad
about
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
F
My
name
is
Stephen
Bates
I
did
not
know
my
district
now
my
assault
on
my
voter
registration
card,
but
I
forgot
it,
but
it's
downtown
area
when
I'm
52
years
old,
so
I.
Consider
myself
a
new
elderly
or
whatever
just
like
I
was
a
new
adult
when
I
was
like
22
or
21
and
I
had
dropped
out
of
failed
out
of
school
and
head
on
to
work
for
restaurant
jobs
and
I
had
to
move
out
of
my
parents.
House
I
was
trying
to
find
out
what
I
can
do
with
asthma.
F
F
Psychology
and
the
psychologist
at
the
age
of
50
is
General
relative
versus
stagnation.
You
stagnate
or
you
generate,
and
it's
made
like
Crisis
stage
and
I'm
trying
to
see
what
have
I
not
done
I've,
never
got
married
I
had
children
now
trying
now
that's
my
goal
and
I
even
say:
I
want
to
marry
like
a
and
I'm
not
being
derogatory
toward
this
species,
but
a
Chinese,
a
Japanese
woman
or
married
Dr
Chinese,
her
Korean
doll,
and
that
was
just
a
preference.

that
immediately:

Don
Sophia,

Creek

though

the
Paris

May

He
gave
his
own

believe
in
him

without

Protestant

ethic
and
putting
works
with
faith.
F
D
Is
it
really
about
the
climate?
Is
it
really
about
the
climate
I'm
fairly
new
to
Chattanooga
and
still
learning
about
the
city?
I
read
the
recently
approved
climate
action
plan
and
followed
the
plan
back
to
Mayor
Kelly's
One
Chattanooga
plan
I
could
not
relate
to
the
statement
in
the
one
Chattanooga
plan
quote
our
failure
to
address
the
structural
Legacy
of
white
supremacy,
structural
Legacy
white
supremacy.
D
The
one
Chattanooga
plan
is
based
on
theories
and
seems
to
propose
a
new
social
agenda,
trying
to
write
the
perceived
wrongs
of
the
past
and
present
I
am
not
a
white
supremacist.
Who
does
this
statement
refer
to?
Do
these
plans
get
to
determine
who
is
a
white
supremacist
and
who
isn't
do
you
think
most
voters
would
agree
and
consider
themselves
to
be
a
white
supremacist
and
Chattanooga
has
a
quote
strong
Legacy
of
white
supremacy,
unquote,
I
feel
it
is
a
very
bold
statement
to
make
about
someone
who
you
have
never
met.
D
D
These
are
also
known
as
smart
cities,
self-monitoring
analysis,
reporting
technology.
The
wef
has
published
a
2021
six-part
report
governing
smart
cities
policy
benchmarks
for
ethical
and
responsible
Smart
City
development
per
the
report.
Data
comes
from
a
detailed
survey
and
interviews
with
policy
Experts
of
the
G20
Global,
smart
cities,
Alliance
and
city
government
officials
in
the
36
Pioneer
cities.
The
report
also
mentions
the
data
was
provided
on
the
condition
that
individual
City
results
would
be
kept
confidential.
Why
is
our
city
keeping
their
input
from
us?
D
Why
does
our
city
government
have
a
direct
reporting
link
to
the
world
economic
Forum?
This
climate
action
plan
is
a
tool
of
the
wef
to
achieve
their
goals,
not
ours.
Please
put
this
back
on
the
agenda
and
reverse
your
vote
delay
the
climate
action
plan
until
the
public
has
had
time
to
learn,
discuss
and
provide
feedback.
The
cap
was
presented
and
a
City
Council
vote
taken
the
following
week,
not
near
enough
time
for
such
a
far-reaching,
life-changing
plan
going
out
27
years
to
2050.
I.
Ask
again:
is
it
really
about
the
climate.
J
My
name
is
Harriet
Reed,
I'm,
District,
Four
and
I
want
to
address
also
the
climate
action
plan
and
I
guess
in
a
way
the
mayor's
one
Chattanooga
plan
they
all
people
should
know
that
there's
probably
eight
different
plans
that
are
referred
to
in
the
climate
action
plan
and
one
of
the
things
that
both
the
one
Chattanooga
plan
and
the
climate
action
plan
does
is
to
continuously
refer
to
equity
and
I,
have
a
problem
with
that,
mostly
because
it's
not
in
our
constitution,
equity
implies
that
everyone
will
end
up
with
the
same
result
or
that
that's
the
goal
that
you're
trying
to
achieve
and
that's
an
impossible
goal.
J
We
all
know
that's
an
impossible
goal.
People
put
different
effort
into
what
they
want
to
accomplish
in
their
lives
and
that's
generally
close
to
the
result
that
they
achieve.
So
instead,
what
we
should
be
achieving
or
having
as
a
goal
is
equality.
In
other
words,
everyone
has
the
same
opportunity
to
succeed
or
to
become
whatever
they
want
to
be
in
life.
J
So
I
don't
know
where
the
wording
for
this
plan
came
from
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
a
city
goal
and
that
or
whether
or
not
we
have
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
officers
or
if
we're
paying
for
things
like
that,
I
think
it's
a
waste
of
money.
Equity
is
also
a
term.
That
means
that
we're
all
going
to
be
held
to
the
lowest
common
denominator
and
I.
Don't
think
that
that
I,
don't
think
chattanoogans
would
agree
with
that.
J
J
The
climate
action
plan
also
talks
about
minorities
and
how
the
climate
affects
them
more
I,
don't
understand,
I,
don't
understand
how
health
outcomes
of
minorities
are
different
because
of
the
climate.
I
think
that
people
are
in
charge.
Adults
are
in
charge
of
their
own
health
and,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
make
things
better,
I
think
we
should
but
I
don't
want
the
government
in
charge
of
my
health
and
nor
do
I
want
to
be
held
to
the
lowest
common
denominator.
K
Councilman
left
for
working,
diligent
with
me
on
this
project
and
I
also
want
to
say
special
thanks
to
councilwoman
coolride
for
visiting
one
of
our
youth
groups
in
the
city,
our
local
groups,
which
is
Girls
Inc
you're,
made
in
the
pressures
on
my
daughters,
throwing
to
see
what
city
council
is
all
about,
so
I
told
them
to
come
out
of
this
check
it
out
and
I
explained
some
of
the
coral
meals
and
everything
so
right
now
we're
looking
over
the
city
chart
I'm
teaching
them
more
about
what
city
council
is,
and
you
made
that
impression
on
them
to
be
here
tonight,
and
hopefully
they
come
back
with
me
next
week
as
well.
E
My
name
is
Rob
bartol
and
it's
a
former
employee
and
I'd
like
to
ask
the
city
council
for
some
assistance,
as
I'm
I
was
injured
on
the
job
and
I
was
denied
by
a
disability,
benefit
and
I
was
terminated
and
currently
I
had
been
released
by
the
doctor.
I
was
on
restrictions
and
the
doctor
won't
see
me
and
I,
don't
know
who
else
to
talk
to
or
where
to
go.
E
I
can't
get
anything
through.
Hr
I've
been
I've
had
my
whole
career
sabotaged
over
the
last
seven
years
and
I've
made
numerous
complaints
and
I
can't
get
it
to
stop
they've
discriminated
against
me
for
being
disabled
numerous
times
and
they're.
They
seem
to
be
quite
proud
of
trying
to
get
around
federal
law.
A
A
I
just
want
to
I
noticed
that
we
have
three
more
familiar
face,
unfamiliar
faces
to
me.
That's
sitting
at
the
reserve
staff
area,
no
I'm
speaking
around
who's
up
there
Ryan
will
you
share,
who
the
three
guys
are
that
are,
you
know
who
they
are
and
what
department
they
work
in.
D
L
So
with
Kirsten
Kirsten
will
be
leaving
us
in
a
couple
weeks
and
so
Kevin
is
taking
Kirsten's
place.
That
was
announced
in
the
last
week
or
two
I
believe
I.
Don't
think,
there's
anyone
else
new
back
there
that
I
see,
but.
L
The
other
soldiers
filling
in,
although
yeah
so
Casey,
is
that
how
you
mean
okay,
so
Casey
supports
homeless,
Services
he's
not
new
he's
been
here
for
a
while
yeah,
so
James
supports
technology
services
and
he's
not.
A
New
either
okay,
we
I
just
hadn't,
seen
them
sit
up
there
or
come
so
I'm
just
asking
questions
yes,
ma'am
yeah,
but
I
get

you
later

You
know
what

the
search

we're

you
at
a
different

Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right.
