B
You,
mr.
chairman,
so
I
had
a
lot
of
questions
about
this
particular
item
on
our
agenda
and
I
was
able
to
speak
with
mr.
Wade
of
EPB
this
week,
and
also
several
conversations
with
our
chief
of
staff
and
I
believe
that
this
will
help
will
help
unmask
for
a
myriad
of
identifiers
that
probably
will
increase
efficiency
on
delivering
products
and
services
back
into
the
community
after
a
disaster
of
any
kind
of
of
magnitude,
and
with
that
information,
I
think
that
this
will
actually
be
very
beneficial.
B
A
L
L
We
had
a
few
new
purchases
for
your
approval.
We
also
have
one
regular
emergency
purchase
for
your
approval
and
there
are
a
few
renewals
and
emergency
purchases
under
the
mayor's
emergency
declaration
for
your
information,
starting
with
tonight's
new
purchases,
from
the
citywide
service
division
of
Public
Works,
we
have
outdoor
power
equipment,
engine
maintenance
and
repair.
We
have
three
awards.
They
are
as
follows:
chattanooga
tractor
and
equipment
sales
greet
excuse
me:
sale,
Creek,
outdoor
power
equipment
and
service,
LLC
and
southern
pride
service
and
repair
LLC
each
receiving
an
estimated
annual
cost
of
$20,000
each
next.
L
We
have
from
the
fleet
management
division.
The
public
works
vehicle
rental
services
being
awarded
to
enterprise,
holding
incorporated
for
an
estimated
annual
cost
of
$200,000
in
the
last
new
purchase
from
Public
Works
engineering
propane
service,
at
the
landfill
being
awarded
to
suburban
propane
for
an
estimated
annual
cost
of
$30,000.
I
A
J

H
I
A
F
L
K
Sir,
we
have
an
emergency
purchase
for
refuse
and
recycling
services
for
30
days
with
an
existing
contractor
Tennessee
waste
haulers.
This
fills
a
gap
between
the
time
that
we
will
potentially
install
a
new
contract
and
continue
services
at
our
refuse
collection,
centers
and
recycle
collection.
Centers.
A
M
It
will
have
to
be
done
electronically
in
accordance
with
the
governor's
order,
that
is
allowing
signatures
to
be
applied
electronically,
and
they
have
to
give
you
a
report
of
the
circumstances
that's
filed
with
the
purchasing
agent
and
it's
just
going
to
be
entered
on
the
minutes
of
the
council.
Based
upon
this
meeting.
Okay.
C
L
L
L
The
security
services
was
in
the
amount
of
twenty
four
thousand
three
hundred
and
forty
four
dollars
the
cleaning
service
in
the
amount
of
forty
six
thousand
three
hundred
and
seventy
one
dollars.
Also
emergency
disaster
recovery
management
services
awarded
to
Jacobs
Engineering
Group
Incorporated
in
the
amount
of
175,000
dollars.
That
is,
for
the
gathering
of
data
and
capturing
the
cost
accurately
for
the
FEMA
process,
as
it
relates
to
the
tornado
damage
as
well
as
emergency
protective
measures
eligible
for
related
costs,
as
it
relates
to
kovat
emergencies.
L
A
N
M
L
A
B
You,
mr.
chairman,
last
week,
we
had
moved
to
the
table
a
purchasing
item
that
we
had
some
questions
about,
and
I
was
able
to
do
some
research
this
week
and
dive
in
a
little
deeper.
So
if
the
council
will
entertain
a
motion,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
take
from
the
table
purchasing
item
our
197
3:04
and
place
it
before
the
assembly.
Just.
D
Handled
this
purchase
last
week
without
allowing
proper
time
for
further
questioning
before
I
made
the
motion
so
with
that
I
will
second
councilman
lipfird's
motion
and
mr.
Hoffman
is
here.
If
there
are
any
questions
for
me,
the
council
members,
as
it
relates
to
this
purchasing
item
Thank
You
mr.
chair.
Thank.
A
N
Very
appreciative
of
that,
and
also
I
want
to
thank
the
police
officers
last
night
that
took
a
knee
last
night
with
the
protesters
Jerez
certain
bond,
and
so
many
others.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
in
solidarity.
The
look
on
their
face.
The
tears
in
their
eyes
told
me
that
they
want
to
work
with
the
community
to
find
some
kind
of
solution
and
resolve
to
what's
going
on
in
our
world
today
and
I
got
agree.
Most
definitely
would
agree.
N
100%
with
chief
write,
a
statement
that,
if
any
police
officer
in
anybody
you
know
didn't
see
a
issue
with
that
video
as
they
watched
it.
I
don't
know
if
you
all
watch
the
video
or
not,
but
I
got
to
agree
with
his
statement.
Turn
your
badge
in
turn
it
in,
because
those
behaviors
are
just
not
acceptable
and
2020
we're
supposed
to
be
nuga,
strong
and
meaning,
as
in
a
verb
action
and
we're
supposed
to
be
much
better
than
what
I'm
saying
things
are
being
displayed
in
our
city.
N
Over
the
past
week
with
different
protests
and
everything
and
we're
actually
leaning
towards
more
division
and-
and
we
just
can't-
we
can't
take
that
right
now-
we
don't
need
any
more
division.
We
need
to
be
together
and
united,
but
I
also
gotta
say
this
is
that
we
own
and
I
got
a
little
pushback
early
on
once
I
got
elected
and
I'm
cool
with
the
pushback,
but
I
gotta
be
honest.
Is
that
we're
losing
too
many
black
men
and
women
due
to
violence
from
our
own
people
from
black
people?
N
And
this
is
like
I
go
hard
to
make
sure
that
accountability
is
held
on
our
police
department.
I'm
gonna
do
the
exact
same
thing
when
they
come
to
us
displaying
these
same
behaviors.
Sometimes
that's
a
harsh
reality
and
we
don't
want
to
talk
about
it
in
the
black
community,
but
we
got
the
store
talking
about
it
because
we
got
too
many
families
hurting.
We
got
too
many
people
that's
left
without
their
dad
and
it
is,
and
specifically
I
got
a
four
year
old.
N
That's
left
without
her
father
from
a
senseless
act
of
violence
and
not
just
because
of
Payton,
but
it's
so
many
other
parents.
That's
waiting
on
justice
to
be
served
because
their
child
was
gunned
down
by
the
hands
of
somebody.
They
look
like
us.
It's
just
not
acceptable
and
we
need
more
people.
Speaking
up
about
this.
We
need
more
people
speaking
up
about
it.
We
can
no
longer
sweep
it
up
under
the
rug.
Just
like
we
can't
continue
to.
You
know,
put
the
race
racial
systemic
issues
under
the
road.
N
We
got
to
talk
about
it
because
we
can't
continue
to
lose
people
on
our
watch.
The
community
is
looking
to
us
to
lead
and
that's
what
we
need
to
do
so.
My
call
to
action
for
everybody
is
that
we
need
to
hold
every
act
of
violence
accountable,
I,
don't
care
if
you're,
black
or
white
every
act.
This
is
serious
people,
it's
not
a
game.
We
lose
many.
We
losing
too
many
of
us
now.
I
know:
I'm
gonna
get
some
backlash,
but
today
it's
a
day
ain't
your
day.
N
It
ain't
about
you
already
how
rude
I
don't
want
to
hear
that,
because
if
you
think
that
in
2020,
that
is
a
sellable
for
black
people
to
kill
each
other
I
need
you
to
pull
up
I
need
you
to
pull
up,
so
we
can
have
a
conversation
and
keep
an
open
door
policy.
This
behavior
is
getting
out
of
hand
I'm
tired
of
it.
Every
every
day
we
get
an
email
from
the
police
department
was
somebody
black
has
shot
somebody
black
or
killed
somebody
bed-
black.
It's
not
acceptable
enough
is
enough.
N
If
I'm
gonna
stand
up
and
protest
against
white
police
officers
that
are
killing
black
people
or
doing
this
claim
any
extra
police
brutality.
I'm
gonna
take
that
stance
against
black
people,
killing
black
people
the
same
now
for
me
personally,
whenever
the
person
is
brought
to
justice
that
killed
my
granddaughters
father,
you
can
expect
for
me
to
be
at
every
court
hearing.
N
You
can
expect
for
me
to
be
at
every
parole
board
because
she
didn't
he
didn't
deserve
it
and
she
does
not
deserve
to
be
a
for
having
to
ask
questions
having
sleepless
nights,
because
she,
she
just
don't
know
and
I
shouldn't-
have
to
be
thinking
about
how
I'm
gonna
communicate
to
a
four
year
old.
What
happens
to
her
dad
there's,
not
enough
ice
cream
in
the
world
that
can
soothe
this
problem.
N
We've
got
a
problem
within
our
own
culture
and
it
needs
to
stop
I
need
men
standing
up
having
a
conversation
which
are
young
boys,
your
women
girls.
Out
of
that,
we
need
to
take
a
stance
together.
I
need
my
my
colleagues
and
friends.
I!
Need
you
to
start
speaking
to
the
things
that's
going
on
in
society
right
now
today,
when
you
see
racist
acts
taking
place,
you
need
to
call
it
what
it
is
right
there.
N
When
you
see
injustice,
it's
happening,
you
need
to
call
it
what
it
is
right
there,
because
it's
gonna
take
all
of
us
black
people,
white
people
Hispanics
to
make
a
difference.
A
lot
of
people
that's
out
here
protesting.
We
need
you
voting,
that's
how
you
effectively
been
changed,
not
saying
elf,
twelve,
because
we
need
our
police
officers,
we
need
them.
They
here
to
serve
and
protect
us.
There
may
be
some
bad
apples,
that's
along
the
way,
but
if
you
take
a
look
at
what's
going
on
in
our
own
communities,
our
own
culture,
we
got
it.
N
We
got
to
be
honest
with
each
other
and
you
know
I
just
ask
everybody.
I
guess
doing
this
time
is
critical.
It's
urgent!
Where
people
are
protesting,
these
babies
out
there
that's
protesting
they're
going
to
jail,
they're
messing
up
their
background,
because
a
lot
of
them
are
misinformed.
We
cannot
continue
to
allow
this
to
happen.
We
just
we
just
can't.
We
have
to
leave
them
in
the
right
direction
and
show
them
how
to
effectively
make
change
and
effectively
make
a
change
means
voting
and
creating
legislation.
N
A
K
To
thank
you
for
counsel,
Thank
You
council
for
considering
this
this
item
again,
as
I
spoke
earlier
about
an
emergency
purchase
we
did
have
to
this
is
part
of
that
emergency
purchase.
We
have
had
to
extend
our
contract
with
our
previous
or
existing
contractor
to
fill
the
gap.
It's
an
essential
service
to
the
citizens
to
dispose
of
refuse
and
recyclables
at
refuse
collection,
centers
and
the
recycle
convenience
centers
that
are
throughout
the
city,
but
I'll
take
any
questions.
Mr.
chairman.
A
I
C
L
L
A
I
A
A
J
Councilwoman
Coonrod
talked
about
the
violence
that
went
on
and
for
her
to
bring
that
up
doing
these
times.
You
know
she
right.
You're
gonna
hear
the
backlash.
They
say
you
will
sellout.
Are
you
trying
to
deflect
from
the
picture?
We're
not
talking
about
that
right?
Now,
it's
not
about
Oh
black
on
black
crime.
It's
about
these
white
folks,
killing
black
people,
you're
gonna,
hear
that
man
and
I
just
don't
know
where
to
go
with
that.
J
You
know
because
the
young
man
Khalil
that
got
killed
the
other
day
in
his
father's
home
in
his
own
bedroom
by
four
people
that
he
considered
four
or
five
people
who
was
in
the
room
that
he
considered
they're
his
friends.
No
one
is
saying
anything:
no
one
is
saying
in
kalilas
name,
no
one
is
protesting,
nobody's
walking
for
Khalil
Khalil
was
a
good
guy.
His
father
is
a
good
guy.
J
Nobody
has
said
anything
about
Khalil
he
left
her
four-year-old
behind
and
that
he's
gonna
wonder
where
my
dad
he's
only
gonna
get
to
see
pictures
of
her
daddy
in
a
memory
that
we
tell
them
about
her
day
and
nobody
say
anything
about
that,
but
as
the
Council
of
African
American
councils,
if
we
say
something
about
that
situation,
we're
sellouts,
we
don't
care
we're
trying
to
deflect
from
it.
We're
not
we're
not
black
enough,
and
it's
very
troubling,
to
hear
those
things
and
to
see.
J
My
community
attack
me
and
talk
about
me
for
things
that
I
had
no
no
nope
no
jurisdiction
over.
Sometimes
you
know,
but
I
get
it
you
have
to.
You
have
to
be
in
I,
get
the
marching,
I
salute
all
the
activists
out
there,
I
love,
you
thank
you,
because
I
can't
get
out
there.
I
went
to
Coolidge
Park
the
other
day
and
set
with
you
for
a
little
while,
but
I
had
to
get
back
home
to
my
family,
because
I
have
a
young
daughter,
it
has
Aspen.
J
I
got
to
be
truly
about
what
I
bring
it
to
my
home
so
but
I
support
you
and
I
salute
you,
but
I
don't
salute
the
violence.
I,
don't
salute
the
looting.
I,
don't
salute
the
issues
that
are
going
on
and
a
lot
of
these
cities.
Chattanooga
hasn't
had
those
issues
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that
and
I
think
the
activists
for
just
standing
up
being
being
exceptional.
You
know
we
don't
need
to
go
viral
here
in
Chattanooga.
We
don't
need
to
get
likes.
J
We
don't
need
to
do
these
things
and
tear
up
a
home
city
up
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
gonna
have
to
rebuild
our
city.
We're
gonna
have
to
do
two
things:
to
bring
our
city
back
up
and
with
this
ordinance
that's
coming
up
about
the
community
oversight
board.
We
need
to
put
things
in
place
to
make
sure
that
those
things
don't
happen.
I
just
put
on
Facebook.
What
does
justice
look
like?
What
does
it
look
like?
No
justice,
no
peace.
J
Tell
me
what
justice
look
like
so
that
I
could
present
to
my
brothers
and
sisters
on
council
so
that
I
could
present
to
the
mayor
to
chief
writing
to
anybody
in
power.
I
want
to
present
to
them
what
justice
looks
like
I
want
to
show
them.
This
is
what
justice
look
like
in
Chattanooga
and
I
want
to
push
that
forward.
Why
would
I
not
want
to
do
that?
I
have
a
son
in
here.
That's
15
years
old
and
I'm.
Raising
I
want
him
to
have
justice.
J
I
want
him
to
be
able
to
walk
the
streets
and
not
get
pulled
over
I
got
kicked
out
the
mall
for
something
ridiculous.
A
long
time
ago,
I
have
got
to
rest
walking
across
the
street
myself
just
for
being
black
and
it's
ridiculous,
but
all
officers,
not
bad
I,
have
some
good
friends
on
the
police
force.
J
I
have
people
who
love
people
on
the
police
force,
so
I
can't
sit
here
and
say
all
officers
are
bad,
discuss
the
headache,
a
uniform
on
protect
you
and
if
we
get
rid
of
the
police
force,
it's
going
to
be
a
purge
on
our
entire
city,
because
the
real
criminals
are
gonna
show
up.
The
real
people
are
gonna,
come
knocking
at
your
door
and
it's
gonna
be
an
issue.
So
we
need
our
Police
Department,
but
we
need
balance.
We
need
accountability.
Hold
me
accountable,
hope.
J
Every
council
person,
our
Police
Department,
our
mayor,
hold
us
accountable,
but,
like
hell
on
the
corner,
I
see
the
black
on
black
crime
that
we
have
in
our
community.
We
gotta
hold
you
accountable
too.
We
got
to
make
sure
that
you're
being
held
accountable,
so
I
want
to
see
just
for
Khalil
I
want
to
see
justice
for
all
the
young
african-american.
These
cold
cases
that
we
have
in
our
city
I
want
to
see
justice
for
these
mothers
and
fathers
whose
children
are
dead.
Alex
Freeman
I
want
to
see
justice
for
him.
J
E
You,
chair
I,
agree
a
hundred
percent
for
my
colleagues.
It
is
too
much
killing
off
of
each
other
out
there
I
remember
in
the
60s
and
the
40s
and
the
30s,
where
the
KKK
used
to
hang
blacks,
but
they
don't
want
to
do
it
and
what
we
caught
ourselves.
We
need
to
stop.
I,
agree,
100%
and
when
it
comes
to,
we
have
some
bad
apples
in
the
police.
Portland
area
company
has
bad
apples
because
who
the
company
is
we
the
focus
on
the
bad
apples?
E
We
didn't
make
policies
that
would
get
rid
of
the
bad
apples,
because
the
good
people
out
there,
the
good
police,
was
trying
to
do
their
job.
They
got
to
answer
to
the
bad
apples,
because
the
bad
apples
get
more
publicity
than
what
they
get
doing.
The
right
thing
so
again,
I
agree.
100%
with
my
colleagues.
You
know
people
want
criticized,
that's
what
we
dare
when
we
we
got
this
job,
we
got
thick
skin,
they
could
say
whatever,
but
the
other
day
they
know
it's
true.
We
got
to
change
that.
E
I
have
grandkids
and
kids
I
can
relate
to
something.
What
cooler
on
a
councilman
cooler
I
said
three
weeks
ago
a
young
man
bent
nose.
He
was
a
kid
got
killed,
don't
know
why
don't
know
who
did
it,
but
he
was
he
was
killed
in
these
things.
You
know
he
asked
your
parent
that
lost
a
kid.
I
haven't
lost
the
key,
but
it's
painful
I
know
people
as
kids.
It
is
painful,
so
most
parents
feel
like
they
go
on
die
before
they
kid
and
when
they
kids
out
before
them.
E
If
something
is
terrible,
so
I
hope
that
we
could
come
together
and
agree
that
policies
need
to
be
changed.
Basically,
we
looked
at
more
closer,
not
just
a
fake
apology,
but
let's
just
make
a
good
change
that
didn't
feel
free,
but
councilman
Byrd
said
they
feel
they
can
walk
down
the
street
without
getting
harassed
or
whether
their
nature
but
yeah
I
do
I.
Thank
my
colleagues
for
saying
what
you
see
it.
Thank
you.
Oh.
H
Yeah
I
want
to
share
the
same
sentiments
as
my
colleagues
on
the
on
the
council.
You
know
when
I
chose
to
endeavor
this
position
on
city
council.
I
knew
it
would
be
days
like
this,
but
what
keeps
me
going
is
the
fact
that
I
can't
stop
moving
forward
and
believing
in
humanity
within
itself.
I've
had
those
same
experiences
growing
up
in
the
projects
of
st.
Louis,
the
place
where
I
grew
up.
H
Well,
we
are
experiences,
is
african-american
right
now
is
a
test
of
our
humanity
and
what
we
need
to
do
moving
forward
and
the
murder
of
mr.
Floyd
has
brought
out
a
lot
of
things
that
systemic
in
our
society,
but
it
also
has
brought
out
that
we
have
a
common
goal
and
a
common
effort
to
do
things
that
better.
You
know
I
sympathize
when
my
Councilwoman
called
me
Sunday
night
and
told
me
about
the
situation.
It
counts
my
burden,
I
talk
all
the
time
and
I
get
where
councilman
Gilbert
is
going
with
grandchildren.
H
I
have
I,
have
three
grandsons
and
I
have
a
son
who's
autistic
that
when
he
was
a
little
younger
I
struggled
because
I
didn't
I
didn't
know
that
if
he,
because
there's
a
to
the
way
he
communicated
I
didn't
know
if
it
had
been
mistaken
for
a
lack
of
compliance.
Those
are
the
things
that
we
have
to
deal
with.
H
You
know,
as
as
adults
as
parents
as
Grandparents
and
I
just
asked
all
Chattanooga
that
you
continue
to
express
yourself
but
express
yourself
in
a
non-violent
way
that
doesn't
incite
vandalism,
because
you
never
never
want
to
lose
sight
of
what
this
all
about,
and
the
violence
that
we
have
experienced.
The
vandalism
that
has
happened
has
taken
away
from
that
and
I
applaud
you.
H
H
This
is
our
time
for
greatness
to
move
forward,
to
continue
to
work
together
and
work
with
us,
not
only
the
African
Americans
on
their
City
Council,
because
our
white
colleagues
on
the
City
Council
cares
a
lot
about
what
goes
on
and
it's
with
their
support
that
we're
able
to
do
what
we
do,
especially
when
we're
challenged
with
the
perception
that
we
don't
care
about
the
black
community.
We're
simply
doing
what
we
elected
to
do
to
do.
The
right
thing
for
all.
H
A
Let
me
just
let
me
just
echo
the
sentiment
that's
been
shared
here
tonight
and
I
think
we
all
have
a
heavy
heart
and,
and
if
this
doesn't
burden,
you
there's
something
wrong
with
you.
I
would
like
to
commend
Chief
Roddy
for
his
tweet
for
his
stand
and
I
think
it's
that
kind
of
leadership
that
sets
the
tone
and
it
sets
the
culture
for
our
Police
Department.
I
have
no
doubt
if
we
had
a
situation
here
that
that
chief
rowdy
would
would
address
it
swiftly
and
I
appreciate
the
concern.
A
I
appreciate
the
compassion
that
the
that
our
Police
Department
has
shown
through
the
through
the
protests
through
the
demonstrations.
I
believe
they've
been
a
stand-up
Department
and
I
appreciate
that
I
know
that
mr.
attorney
has
an
item
on
our
agenda
under
other
business.
Mr.
Turney
I
don't
see
any
other
hands.
Would
you
like
to
address
the
item?
I
will.
M
I
appreciate
having
all
of
you
as
my
clients,
an
opportunity
for
y'all
to
be
able
to
talk
to
each
other
to
share
with
each
other
the
experiences
that
we
have
every
Tuesday
to
deal
with
these
issues
that
you
have
for
your
community
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
all
of
you
will
try
to
do
the
best
that
you
can
for
the
people
that
you
represent.
That's
that's
what
you're
here
for
and
that's
what
you
try
to
do
each
week.
M
Permanent
impairment
rating
in
the
amount
of
sixty
thousand
$27.98
I
need
to
have
that
at
least
recognized
by
the
council
in
connection
with
this
case,
and
that
resolution
I
do
not
have
authority
to
be
able
to
settle
those
cases,
because
it's
above
my
$25,000
authority
under
your
ordinances,
present
that
to
you
at
this
point
in
time
as
other
business.
This
evening,
this
has
been
approved
by
both
both
individuals
here
and
one
individual
will
be
continuing
to
work.
M
B
I
M
A
F
You
mr.
chair
today,
at
one
o'clock
we
had
our
second
budget
education
session.
We
covered
the
capital
budget
and
paving
because
the
council
had
additional
concerns.
We
will
again
next
week,
be
reviewing
agency
allocations
and
various
items
in
the
capital
budget.
The
most
important
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
next
week,
at
six
o'clock,
we
will
be
having
a
public
hearing
on
the
budget.
We've
made
the
budget
available
to
everyone
online.
F
F
If
you
will
go
to
the
city
webpage,
you
will
see
how
to
sign
up
the
art
of
giving
us
information
that
we
so
so
very
much
need
from
you
we'll
need
your
name,
your
address,
the
district
you
live
in
and
as
of
today,
no
other
identifying
information
at
no
time
was
there
any
intent
to
invade
privacy,
and
the
IT
department
has
taken
that
back,
and
so
just
your
name,
your
address
the
district
you
live
in
and
please
we
want
to
hear
your
concerns.
That's
next
week,
six
o'clock,
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
thank.
C
Thank
you
miss
chairs.
Next
week
we
will
be
having
a
legislative
committee
meeting
as
of
right
now.
The
only
piece
of
legislation
that
we
will
be
going
over
in
that
committee
will
be
on
essential
cities
and
it's
a
federal
emergency
support
to
reopen
a
rebuild
economy,
legislation
and
that'll
be
presented
next
week.
Sir,
thank.
A
H
J
Thank
You
chair
on
June
30.
We
will
have
public
safety
meeting
concerning
the
community
oversight
board
and
I
just
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
reach
out
to
your
council
members
and
talk
to
them
about
what
you
would
like
to
see.
This
community
oversight
board
be
able
to
do
be
able
to
articulate
that
so
that
we
can
present
it
to
our
chief
and
to
the
other
council
members
that
are
on
this
body
and
if
you
look
at
some
of
the
protests
and
things
that
are
going
on
killer
Mike.
J
If
you
looked
at
our
killer,
Mike
said
in
one
of
the
protests
that
has
went
viral,
that
these
communities
need
community
oversight.
Boards
and
I
just
wants
to
look
this
council
for
putting
this
in
place
in
place
long
time
ago,
and
I
want
salute
Councilwoman,
right
and
Councilman
Gilbert
for
making
sure
also
that
this
stays
in
our
charter,
so
that,
no
matter
what
it's
not
gonna
go
away.
Unless
another
council
takes
it
away.
So
salute
you
guys
for
that
June
30th!
J
B
Ledford
Thank
You
chairman,
we
did
have
a
Planning
and
Zoning
meeting
today
where
we
covered
all
items
on
our
agenda.
I
want
to
remind
everybody.
We
have
a
special
meeting,
June
23rd,
which
we
will
cover
the
vegetation
component
in
relation
to
steep
slope
and
floodplain
discussion.
Our
next
Planning
and
Zoning
meeting
will
be
on
July
7.
Thank.
N
A
O
A
O
A
M
Sir
ma'am
in
this
zoom
environment,
we're
dealing
with
we
are
electronically
having
to
get
to
see
you.
We
can't
really
see
you
today,
but
we're
just
trying
to
allow
people
to
be
able
to
speak.
Each
speaker
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
is
that
his
register
is
cloud
to
talk
to
the
council
and
you
can
be
recognized
after
you
provide
some
identification,
including
your
name
address
and
council
district.
No
person
can
have
more
than
three
minutes
to
speak
and
you
can
address
the
council
only
upon
matters
within
their
legislative
and
judicial
authority.
M
You
can't
address
them
on
matters
that
are
not
under
the
authority
of
the
county,
are
not
regulated
by
other
governmental
bodies.
Don't
use
any
vulgar
obscene
language
or
use
the
floor
to
personally
attack
or
personally
denigrate
others,
and
only
address
the
council
as
a
whole.
Don't
make
comments
directed
towards
individual
council
members,
but
please
go
ahead.
Ma'am
would.
P
P
But
one
thing
that
I
am
very
very
concerned
about
is
accountability
and
so
for
one
I
would
like
to
address
like
why
I
want
to
know
why
Hamilton
County,
Sheriff's
Department
has
not
responded
or
said
anything
about
this
past
Saturday
when
we
had
peaceful
protesters
and
I
saw
officers
with
what
I
thought
was
shotguns,
but
apparently
they're,
beanbag
guns
their
guns
period,
and
there
is,
you
know,
there's
all
kinds
of
examples
of
how
we
have
not
been
hearing.
People
out,
you
know
properly.
If
you
will
so
I.
P
We've
got
to
also
address
that
not
only
does
on
black
crime,
it
exists,
crime
period
exists,
homicides
period,
our
existing
violence
period
is
unjust
and
it
needs
to
be
addressed
when
we
have
police
in
our
own
city,
like
the
six
pigs
that
murdered
Javari,
oh
eagle
and
cold
blood
in
front
of
his
five-year-old
daughter,
we
cannot
accept
it
and
we
need
to
hold
our
officers.
We
need
to
hold
our
community
accountable
there
and,
as
far
as
the
quote,
unquote
black
on
black
crime.
That
is
very
controversial.
P
Those
are
conversations
that
we're
going
to
have
and
I
call
and
I
call
it
we're
talking
about
calls
to
action.
I
call
different
people
that
I
wanted
to
organize
protests.
Let's
also
organized
black,
only
spaces
where
we
can
have
these
very,
very
sensitive
conversations,
because
it's
very
hard
to
have
these
conversations
in
front
of
people
in
front
of
a
very
public
audience
that
includes
our
oppressor.
P
It
gives
us
some
sort
of
cognitive
dissonance
when
we're
trying
to
hear
you
out
and
also
be
angry
about
the
injustice
--is
that
we
see
and
that
you
won't
hear
me
being
upset
with
anybody
for
rioting
or
anything
like
that.
Just
because
it's
chronic
trauma,
we
are
all
suffering
from
chronic
trauma.
We're
suffering
from
a
time
where
violence
is
is
facing
us
left
and
right
we're
seeking
back
where
we're
seeing
violence
in
our
community,
but
then
we're
also
seeing
violence
from
the
people
that
have
sworn
to
protect
and
serve
us.
P
Who
do
you
protect
and
who
do
you
serve?
There
was
a
whole
line
of
officers
that
were
in
front
of
protesters
that
were
peacefully
protesting,
expressing
their
trauma,
which
I
know
is
very
hard
to
hear,
but
it's
real
and
we've
got
to
hear
it
sometimes
and
it's
horrible,
because
what
was
done
was
horrible
and
when
people
are
when
people
are
sharing
in
a
young
man,
17
years
old,
17
18
years
old,
he
said.
Why
are
you
acting
like
this
towards
us?
We're
human?
P
You
know
if
you,
if
you're
in
solidarity
with
us,
to
protect
and
serve
us,
the
way
that
you
say
you
are
get
on
one
knee
like
get
on
one
knee
like
everybody
behind
me
is
once
the
people
took
a
knee.
There
were
only
three
out
of
several
officers
that
took
a
at
what
point
are
we
going
to
come
to
middle
ground?
At
what
point
are
we
going
to
find
balance
at
all,
stop
generalizing,
one
another,
whether
it
be
buzz
or
we
all
work,
they're
all
pigs
right,
that's
just
not
true.
A
I
C
Q
Q
Name
is
Tiffany
rankings,
I
live
there,
44-mile
Street,
Chattanooga
Tennessee
I'm,
coming
on
to
address
as
far
as
issues
as
far
as
Lincoln
Park
and
also
as
far
as
the
killings
or
the
protesting
that
has
been
going
on.
I've
been
hearing.
People
who
speak
about
is
force
of
protesting.
How
sorry
they
are
how
weirdly
United
together,
you
know
when
we
lose
a
single
killing
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
We
were
never
united,
let's
not
just
be
united,
because
this
is
a
worldwide
issue.
Man
and
it's
coming
to
face.
Q
Now
also
I
like
to
speak
about
the
Lincoln
Park
issue.
He
was
brought
up
two
weeks,
councilman
Byrd
he
did
as
councilman
August
be
as
far
as
getting
an
update.
I
did
hear
councilmen
all.
Let
me
say
it's
going
to
be
a
meeting
Julis
16th
Oney,
but
it
was
publicly
announced,
invented
this
disappeared.
Until
today
it
seems
like
the
leaders
of
the
Lincoln
Park
neighborhood
association
should
have
been
notified.
Q
Councilman
Byrd
did
reach
out
to
me
and
he
never
did
follow
back
up
with
me
as
far
as
getting
together
to
meet
I'm
kind
of
used
to
that
treatment.
So
I
don't
worry
about
it
too
much,
but
as
far
as
all
the
inequality,
the
injustice
is
all
on
different
levels
as
levels
as
for
it's
not
proper
housing.
People
don't
have
anywhere
to
live
environmental
injustice.
We
have
so
many
different
issues
is
almost
like
a
powder
keg,
I'm,
hoping
that
you
guys
are
just
not
set
on
caring,
which
it
is
a
big
issue.
Q
As
for
she
resolving
the
issue.
As
for
us,
police
brutality,
but
you're
interested
as
floor
is
resolving.
The
issue
is
for
is
historical
preservation,
where
african-american
communities
that
exist
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
the
Native
Americans
that
exist
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga
being
in
compliance
with
certifying
local
government,
which
you
guys
have
not
been
in
over
thirty
years.
So
you
know
you
guys
need
to
be
on
a
ball
about
a
lot
of
things.
A
O
R
I
just
wanted
to
make
myself
available
to
you
all,
so
you
could
ask
me
any
questions
about,
hopefully
anything
other
than
a
tweet,
because
that
that
escalated
quickly,
but
I
wanted
to
make
myself
available
to
the
council
to
answer
any
questions.
Give
you
any
assurances
that
I
could
at
this
time,
for
what
your
department
and
what
our
community
is
going
through.
R
A
J
You
so
much
for
being
on
here.
I,
don't
know
you
can
answer
this
question
at
this
Junction
I
get
this
answer.
I
get
this
question
a
lot
from
constituents.
They
say
councilman.
If
I
solve
somebody
or
kill
someone
on
the
street,
I
go
to
jail
and
have
to
make
bond
and
then
be
processed
and
go
to
court
and
see
if
I
was
guilty
or
not.
They
ask
me:
why
won't
we
blatantly
see
a
officer
do
something
they
are
not
immediately
arrested
or
reprimanded
and
I.
Don't
know
how
to
answer
that
question.
I
know.
J
R
Absolutely
I'm
the
one
component
that
is
almost
always
present
when
an
officer
has
committed
an
act
that
could
very
well
be
investigated
criminally
is
the
agency
that
they
work
for
is
almost
invariably
not
the
agency
that
is
going
to
do
the
investigation
and
ultimately,
the
review
to
determine
where
the
charges
present.
That
is
generally
going
to
be,
depending
upon
the
investigating
agency,
whether
it
is
federal
or
state
or
another
local
jurisdiction,
whether
it's
presented
to
a
US
Attorney's
Office
or
your
local
district
attorney's
office.
R
So
there
there
are
multiple
steps
in
that,
because
we
don't
investigate
our
own
typically
and
the
reason
we
don't
is
the
automatic
conflict
of
interest
that
presents
itself
in
my
25
years
as
attending
the
police
officer.
I've
probably
worked
with
just
about
every
officer
that
works
here
to
some
degree
and
if
I
are
they
were
responsible
for
investigating
each
other
in
some
incident,
there's
an
automatic
conflict
of
interest
that
could
be
presented,
truthful
or
not.
R
That
could
undermine
the
ability
to
successfully
prosecute
that
officer
if
their
warrant,
if
the
charges
are
warranted,
if
the
if
the
charges
aren't
applied,
then
the
conflict
of
interest
resulted
in
a
less
dutiful
investigation.
If
the
charges
are
applied,
then
myself
say,
as
the
defending
officer
could
say,
that
the
end
of
it
that
the
reason
that
they
charge
me
is
that
investigating
Sargeant
didn't
like
me
from
when
we
used
to
work
together.
R
So
there's
an
automatic
conflict
that
exists
and
that's
why
we
every
single
time,
almost
every
single
time
we
ask
for
an
outside
agency
to
conduct
that
criminal
investigation
once
that
outside
agency
takes
that
role.
Speaking
for
me,
personally,
I
lose
the
ability
willfully
to
place
the
charges
on
that
officer
at
that
time.
So
there
are
more
steps
that
get
involved
because
you
automatically
have
conflicts
of
interest
present,
because
you
have
officers
doing
a
criminal
investigation
on
officers.
If
that
helps
understand
what
better
counselor
it.
J
Does
and
I
would
like
to
further
do
maybe
a
sit-down
with
you
or
a
phone
conversation,
because
I
would
like
to
see
how
we
can
put
things
in
place,
because
also
when
you
have
officers
that
have
complaints,
that
we
have
no
jurisdiction
and
can
do
nothing
when
it
comes
to
the
Sheriff
Department.
That's
something!
That's
the
Sheriff
Department
in
that
that
that
force
has
to
deal
with
I'm
talking
about
Chattanooga.
We
can't
do
anything,
my
Minnesota,
but
the
office
in
Minnesota
had
19
complaints,
again
system
and
I,
get
that
as
well.
J
Why
well,
I
also
have
so
many
complaints
against
them
and
it
doesn't
trigger
anything
and
I.
Think
just
that
education
session
has
to
be
half
has
to
happen
so
that
our
constituents
can
see
that
this
is
the
process.
Maybe
you
need
to
be
tweaked,
maybe
need
to
be
changed
in
some
sort,
but
we
can
give
them
answer
and
give
them
a
solution
to
how
we
can
strengthen
that
that
process,
so
that
they
can
see
if
I
also
have
19
complaints,
and
then
he
killed
someone.
J
R
I
would
welcome
that
opportunity.
Councilman.
We
do
have
a
system
in
place
that
does
produce
what
are
called
trigger
alerts
relative
to
the
volume
of
certain
types
of
instances
that
could
occur
in
an
officer's
path,
whether
those
are
car
crashes,
complaints,
exceptional
occurrence
forms,
injuries
on
duties,
late
calls
poor
evaluations.
R
All
of
these
things
compile
a
trigger
system
which
has
a
standardized
policy
required
response
by
multiple
levels
within
their
chain
of
command,
and
then
we
also
do
annuals
studies
of
what
that
alert
system
is
showing
us
as
an
agency
and
their
other
mechanisms
in
place
so
to
in
brevity's
sake.
Yes,
sir,
we
have
some
things,
but
yes
or
absolutely
I,
welcome
the
opportunity
to
discuss
and
get
as
much
of
that
out
and
see
if
there
are
points
of
polish
or
replacement.
I.
Look
forward
to
hearing
some
of
that.
Thank.
N
R
Yes,
ma'am
there,
there
are
two
distinct
differences
between
our
uniforms
and
the
Hamilton
County
Sheriff's
Office
city
police
officers
were
a
badge
Hamlin
County,
Sheriff's
Office,
where
a
star.
So
would
you
see
a
shield
similar
to
the
one
that
I'm
wearing
here?
That
is
a
chattering?
A
police
officer
also
understand
that
it's
having
a
police
officers
patches
around.
So
if
you
see
another
patch
and
it's
not
a
round
patch,
it's
not
gonna
be
a
genuine
police
officer.
Chances
are
so.
R
Those
are
the
two
easiest
ways
that
you
can
help
identify
between
our
two
agencies,
but
ask
why
our
policy,
if
an
individual
encounters,
are
chatting
a
police
officer
and
if
the
situation
is
not
too
volatile
or
dangerous,
then
our
officer
is
supposed
to
give
you
their
name
and
badge
number
and
you
can
confirm
what
agency
there
with
it
that
time.
So,
if
you
have
that
question,
ask
okay.
N
N
Guess,
racist
I,
don't
know
what
we're
calling
it
I
can't
think
straight.
Please
forgive
me
right
now,
but
just
want
to
know
if
the
police
department
is
a
part
of
that
work,
that
the
city's
is
doing
as
far
as
having
those
conversations
in-house
and
what
we
can
do
to
you
know
how
you
know
we're
addressing
these
systemic
issues.
That's
you
know
really
hard
to
talk
about
like
do
we
have
anything
in
place
or
are
we
just?
What
are
the
police
doing
around
I
guess
work
around
equity
and
everything
I'm.
R
I'm
not
sure
which
study
that
is
Councilwoman
but
I
would
be
I'm,
confident
in
saying
that,
I'm
sure
that
we
are
a
source
of
data
we
are,
we
are
oftentimes
the
face
of
Chattanooga
city
government.
We
are
an
engagement
point,
pretending
the
city
government
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
so
I
would
go
out
a
limb
and
say
that
we
are
at
least
providing
information
relative
to
that
other
than
that.
I.
Don't
know
that
I
could
speak
to
what
that's
done.
R
As
far
as
what
the
police
department
is
doing,
relative
to
equity
equality,
representation
and
hearing
voices,
every
everything
we
can,
which
is
not
enough,
is
how
I
would
phrase
that
up.
So
we
are
looking
to
find
more.
In
the
last
few
days,
I
have
received
countless
emails
and
I
responded
to
every
single
one
of
them,
thanking
for
them
reaching
out
to
me
and
for
local
members
that
want
to
get
into
a
room
here
in
the
near
future
to
have
the
conversations
similar
to
the
ones
that
I'm
having
in
the
middle
of
Frazier
Avenue.
R
You
know
what
training
we
do
in
the
Academy,
the
community
immersion
training,
poverty
simulator
things
that
you
are
all
are
well
aware
of
what
we
do
the
front
course
lineups
to
get
us
out
of
our
own
building
and
into
your
homes
and
front
porches
program
that
you're
you're
all
very
well
aware
of
what
your
department
does,
but
I
think
that
I
think
we're.
We
need
to
be
a
little
more
forward-looking
right
now
on
not
what
we've
done,
but
what's
next.
So,
if
that
answers
the
question,
Councilwoman
I
hope
it
does.
N
You
told
you
did
a
great
job
chief
I
appreciate
it,
and
just
one
day's
camp
question
terrify
me
chief.
What
a
what
do
you
have
in
place
for
you
and
our
officers
as
far
as
wellness
checks,
like
you
guys,
are
on
the
front
line?
You're
not
gonna,
make
folk
scream.
You
know
it
you're
dealing
with
a
lot
right
now
and
I
appreciate
you
guys
being
on
the
front
line
and
your
willingness
to
be
open
to
discussions,
but
you
all
have
families
just
like
we
do.
N
My
most
definitely
want
you
guys
to
make
it
home
safe,
just
like
how
I
go
home
safe,
but
I'm
really
concerned
about.
You
know
the
Wellness
of
our
police
officers,
because
at
some
point
you
know
working
those
long
hours
they
can
become
exhausting
and
I,
wouldn't
want
that.
You
know
any
officer
to
make
a
quick
decision
because
of
the
exhaustion.
So
do
we
have
anything
they
can?
They
could
talk
to
somebody
cuz
I
know.
Y'all
heart
is
heavy
to
dealing
with
these.
R
R
If
you
notice
your
teammate
is
just
showing
the
signs
of
how
hard
it
is
to
hear
for
five
hours,
some
of
the
things
that
are
being
said
to
our
officers
tonight
and
I
understand
the
expression
no
pushback
on
that
whatsoever,
but
it
has
an
effect
that
we
have
to
pay
attention
to
so
look
out.
You
are
your
brother's
keeper,
so
we
get
those
words
out
as
well.
R
That's
going
on
and
we've
also
sent
out
reminders
on
our
EAP
program
through
the
city,
so
as
much
of
a
multi-layered
prep
that
we
can
for
our
officers
we're
doing
that
right
now,
but
we
try
to
make
sure
that
it's
as
constant
as
we
can
get
now
in
and
just
to
give
another
piece
of
information.
We
do
have
people
that
are
out
there.
Every
night
that
aren't
saying
those
things
to
us.
R
I
have
had
some
fantastic
conversations:
every
single
night
down
there
sitting
around
talking
fist,
bumps
hugs
with
it
yes
I
mind
like
I,
did
the
Cova
thing
couple
of
hugs
and
sorry,
but
I'm
gonna
take
them
right
now,
but
those
are
the
things
that
take
the
things
out
of
the
cup
as
well,
we're
getting
our
officers
and
they're.
Having
those
conversations,
it's
an
interesting
dynamic,
some
folks
that
are
attending
the
demonstrations
thanked
us
for
being
there.
R
As
they
walk
in
express
anger
and
fear
towards
police
when
they're
in
the
administration
and
then
thank
us
again
as
they're
leading
and
we
try
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
the
purpose
of
peaceful
demonstration
is
to
do
just
that.
So
it's
not
every
voice.
That's
out
there
that
stings
our!
But
now
there
are
some
that
do.
There
are
many
that
do,
but
it's
not
all
of
them
and
we're
taking
paying
particular
attention
to
those
that
don't
so.
It
helps
us
get
through
the
night.
Thank.
R
F
B
There
tonight
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
number
one
being
accessible
with
information
to
all
of
us.
I
know
that
we've
reached
out
to
you
we're
burning
up
your
phone,
we're
going
to
be
kept
in
the
loop
on
on.
What's
going
on,
I
want
to
commend
your
department
for
their
response.
I
think
we
are
sitting
in
an
example
here
in
Chattanooga
I
think
you
started
that
example
and
I
think
that
your
department
is
following
that
lead,
so
I
appreciate
that
very
much
and
you
will
be
always
have
our
gratitude
for
that.
B
So
you
know
I
believe
that
experiences
shape
our
lives
and
our
actions
and
our
thought
processes
as
we
as
we
go
through
life.
This
is
obviously
one
that
is
extremely
life.
Changing
I
know
it
has
been
for
me,
you
and
everybody
else
who's
watching
this.
So
in
the
end,
what
do
you
think
we
might
have
learned
or
what
will
change
in
our
tentative
Police
Department?
That
will
improve
going
forward
too
so
that
we
can
take
this
pain
and
turn
it
into
something
positive,
I.
R
Would
say
the
biggest
part
is
the
conversations
that
I
have
mentioned
within
some
of
my
last
responses,
but
one
of
the
comet
I
said:
I
got
the
other
day.
I
was
staying
with
a
large
group
in
the
middle
of
Frazier
Avenue.
When
a
gentleman
asked
me,
what
are
you
doing?
What
have
you
done
to
bring
about
change?
What
what
have
you
done
since
it
all
started,
and
my
response
was
nothing
you
don't
want
me
to
do
that
by
myself.
R
I
can
design
all
the
solutions
in
the
world,
but
if
the
people
most
affected
aren't
part
of
what
that
solution
looks
like
then
I
failed.
It
I
won't
hit
what
I
need
to
ice
community
policing
101.
That's
why
we
call
a
problem.
Solving
policing
I
can
I
can
fix
all
the
burnout
streetlights
that
I
want
to.
But
if
I
don't
get
the
one,
that's
over
your
house,
you
could
care
less
about
the
other
10.
So
we
that's
the
conversations.
R
That's
the
positive
that
comes
from
this
is
it
gets
us
into
the
conversations
or
if
it's
transparency,
if
it's
a
better
understanding,
if
it's
a
different
policy
altogether,
it's
bills
and
legislation.
Whatever
form
and
hopefully
forms
that
it
takes
they're
not
generated
by
me,
they're,
not
no
offense,
they're
not
generated
by
just
this
body,
they're
generated
by
the
conversations
that
are
gonna
happen
in
the
coming
days
and
weeks
and
months.
R
B
Right,
thank
you.
Tending
is
a
great
place
to
live.
It's
a
different
place.
It's
filled
with
so
much
diversity
in
this
city,
culturally
and
intellectually
technology
I,
just
I,
think
that
we
will
come
through
this
together.
I
think
that
this
council
believes
that
100%
and
I
appreciate
your
leadership
from
the
absolute
second
going
forward
and
and
I
appreciate
what
my
colleagues
had
to
say
tonight.
It's
an
honor
to
be
a
part
of
this
body
and
it's
an
honor
to
live
in
this
city
and
I
know
we're
going
to
be
better
after
this.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
any
any
other
councilmen
Coonrod.
Is
that
a
new
hand,
or
is
that
a
note
hand?
Okay,
okay,
I'll
see
you
no
other
hands
for
chief
rowdy
chief
thanks,
so
much
for
coming
on
with
us
this
afternoon
and
speaking
to
us,
I
think
you're,
exactly
right,
I
think
it's
these
situations
that
will
cause
us
to
work
together
and
and
work
together.
We
must
to
come
up
with
solutions
for
these
problems.
Amen.
A
N
Lincoln
Park
is
the
only
historical
black
park
that
we
have
lilz
and
over
the
you
know
decades.
It's
you
know
it's
getting
smaller
and
smaller
and
smaller
and
I
just
don't
want
to
lose
our
opportunity
to
where
we
would
lose
something.
That's
historical
and
important
for
black
people,
because
we're
not
passing
on
the
right
information
or
we're
not
making
sure
we're
making
the
right
decisions
when
it
comes
to
a
park
or
a
road.
N
If
we
don't
take
the
road
we
lose,
the
ball
like
we
gotta,
have
those
discussions
and
be
honest
with
it,
because
we
need
to
know
as
a
council.
How
do
we
need
to
move
it's
very
important
that
we,
you
know,
are
able
to
keep
the
park?
It's
a
lot
of
history
that
goes
along
with
that
right,
although
you
know,
I
I
never
had
the
opportunity
to
even
play
at
Lincoln
Park
or
any
of
those
things.
My
generation
we
were,
we
were
told
to
go
to
one
apart,
Booker,
T
or
Harrison
Bay,
but
it
is
important.
N
It's
a
significant
piece
of
history
and
I
would
love
to
make
sure
that
we
maintain
that
history,
because
we
don't
have.
We
don't
have
any
other
historical
spots
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
So
I
just
want
my
constituents
to
know
the
place
where
I
was
coming
from,
because
you
know
I
don't
want
to
lose
it
the
more
we
prolong
it
and
you
know,
drag
things
out.
You
know
it's
a
chance
that
we
could
and
we
need
to
be
aware
of
it
and
know
what
you
know.
What
we
need
to
do.
N
Moving
forward
and
I
do
appreciate
everything,
Tiffany
Rankin
and
her
mom
that
they're
doing
and
making
sure
that
they're
preserving
a
part.
It's
greatly
appreciated,
but
my
place
was
coming
from
the
heart
and
making
sure
that
we're
doing
all
we
can
advocate
and
making
sure
we're
maintained
in
the
park.
I
guess.
