000

15
bids
were

and
five
were

The
award
will
go
to
Wayne's

control
services
as
the
best
bid
for
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
the
lowest

was
not

due
to
submitting
an
incomplete
bid.
The
second

from
the
Fleet

H
This

City

Engagement

Okay,

F
J
My
name
is
Joshua
capelis
I'm,
one
of
many
who
will
stand
up
here
for
my
unsheltered
friends
in
our
civil
society.
We
call
it
Chattanooga
in
America.
There
are
three
laws
in
life
number
one
is
God's
law
or
a
moral
understanding
of
Good
and
Evil
rights
or
wrongs
as
human
beings.
This
Homo
sapiens
number
two
is
natural
law,
The
Binding
physical
laws
of
Science
in
the
earth
observable
and
repeatable
number
three
is
man's
law,
the
ever-changing
laws
dictating
our
civil
and
uncivil
societies
regulating
you
and
I.
J
In
America
we
have
three
branches
of
government,
the
judicial,
legislative
and
the
executive.
The
purpose
is
to
establish
and
maintain
a
balance
of
power
for
integrity
service
to
the
public
and
Effectiveness
and
governance
governance,
so
help
us
God
in
America.
Would
you
not
tolerate
dictatorships
over
democracy
now
or
ever
in
our
history
or
future?
We,
the
people,
do
not
favor
absolute
or
centralized
power
in
government,
in
which
one
person
or
small
group
possesses
absolute
power
without
effective
constitutional
limitations.
The
people
United
the
government
divided
and
now
here
we
stand.
J
United
as
human
free
free
human
beings
are
virtues
in
our
vices,
bind
us
to
this
conscious
reality
that
we
create,
through
our
observation
of
others
and
ourselves,
and
as
we
relate
ourselves
ourselves
to
others,
some
call
it
Society
or
Consciousness
and
in
peace,
and
we
are
civil
and
Humane
and
in
war
and
love
we
trespass
and
ask
for
forgiveness
and
hope
for
justice.
Hindsight
is
20
20
or
so
they
say.
Well,
then,
what
is
foresight?
It
must
be
better
than
2020..
J
Our
lack
of
a
cohesive
Vision,
a
scattered
homeless
Mission,
creates
division,
Among
Us
on
what
to
do
from
here.
In
many
ways
we
have
grown
Chattanooga,
Beyond,
imagination,
really
internet
electrical
power
and
individual
freedoms.
Chattanooga
is
a
beautiful
city
and
always
has
been
Thanks
to
God
and
His
imagination.
Now
the
homely
destination
for
many
or
an
unhomely
destination.
For
some,
then
we
proceed
to
build
because
time
is
money
and
honey
is
sweet.
J
That
is
true
for
many,
except
for
the
other
week,
when
many
people
were
left
out
in
the
cold,
wet
and
weak,
my
friends
and
Brethren
and
sisters
too,
we
did
all
we
could
do
to
help
our
unsheltered
friends
Jeremiah
Townsend
seconds
count
in
preventable
emergencies
like
here
now
at
this
Podium
I
only
have
180.
so
here's
the
plan
we
work
together
rather
than
fight
for
a
piece
of
the
pie.
We
can
bake
another
together.
J
We
need
to
start
saying
yes
to
ideas
and
plans
and
test
them.
New
problems
require
new
approaches,
new
questions,
new
ideas.
We
need
inclusion
in
our
efforts
to
help
the
unsheltered
like
an
idea
to
build
50
different
tiny
homes
in
five
hours
of
the
team
of
five
people
for
under
five
thousand
dollars.
So
we
can
do
that
right
now
for
2023.
Let's
start
fresh
and
not
wait
until
homelessness
is
an
emergency.
We
need
to
remove
complacency,
get
your
heads
and
hearts
together.
We
can
do
this
together,
Chattanooga.
Thank
you
all
right.
K
Good
evening
my
name
is
William
Reynolds
I'm
from
District
Six
I'm
involved
a
lot
in
the
community,
I'm
proud
to
be
the
youngest
ever
board.
Member
of
the
billboard,
neighborhood
association
in
other
contexts,
I'm
a
community,
organizer
and
activist,
but
I'm,
not
speaking
tonight,
in
any
of
those
roles.
I'm
coming
to
you
tonight
as
an
individual,
an
individual
who's,
deeply
concerned
about
the
issue
of
homelessness
in
our
city
now
I
know
this
is
a
hot
button
issue
for
a
lot
of
people
and
there's
lots
of
deeply
held
strong
opinions.
K
I'm
not
here
tonight
to
take
specific
sides
on
those
issues.
I
think
that's
for
another
day,
but
I
am
here
to
remind
you
of
perhaps
the
most
important
principle
of
this
issue,
which
too
often
gets
lost
in
the
discussion,
which
is
that,
no
matter
how
you
approach
this
issue,
you
must
remember
that
we
are
dealing
with
real
flesh
and
blood
human
beings
made
in
the
image
I
believe
of
God.
K
They
all
have
their
unique
stories,
their
hopes,
their
dreams
and
their
circumstances.
I'd
love
for
you
to
meet
my
friend,
Paul
I
met
him
on
Broad
Street,
just
the
other
week,
and
I
asked
him
to
tell
me
his
story.
His
eyes
immediately
lit
up,
apparently
Paul
doesn't
get
to
tell
his
story.
Very
often
Paul,
as
it
turns
out,
was
a
cook
at
the
Peabody
Hotel
in
Memphis,
very
proud
of
that.
For
many
many
years
he
moved
here
to
Chattanooga
and
unfortunately
he's
now
living
on
the
streets.
K
He
has
nowhere
to
go
Paul
walks
with
a
cane
because
he's
in
need
of
a
knee
replacement
that
he
just
can't
afford
he's
been
on
the
waiting
list
for
Section
8
housing
for
four
months.
This
story
is
not
uncommon.
There
are
many
pause
if
you
will
people
who,
by
no
choice
of
their
own,
are
on
the
streets
and
they
need
help.
K
With
this
in
mind,
I'm
very
pleased
by
the
Kelly
administration's
improvements
that
they've
attempted
to
make
sanctioned
homeless
encampments,
a
chief
housing
officer
for
the
city.
These
are
all
improvements
that
I
that
I
really
applaud,
but
in
but
no
matter
how
we
deal
with
these
issues,
whether
right
or
left,
Republican
or
Democrat.
Remember
that
homelessness
affects
real
people,
and
my
hope
is
that
this
issue
is
approached
with
Vigor,
with
accountability
with
enthusiasm
and,
most
importantly,
a
compassion
for
our
City's
most
vulnerable.
Thank
you
thank.

The
Budgetel
shutdown
response
has
been
trying
and
we
have
been
working
tirelessly
to
find
Solutions
permanent
Housing
Solutions
for
the
folks
that
were
displaced
when
the
Budgetel
shut
down,
so
I
just
wanted
to
provide
an
update,
I
think
last
time.
I
was
here
the
week
before
Christmas
we're
at
about
106
rooms.
If
I
remember
correctly,
as
of
today,
we
have
20
hotel
rooms
with
33
adults
and
20
kids.
G
They
are
continuing
to
work
every
day
with
the
families
that
are
still
in
hotel
rooms,
but
also
the
ones
that
have
found
temporary
solutions.
They
are
working
with
them
and
we
have
secured
funding
to
stick
with
these
20
families
a
little
bit
longer
and
hopefully
see
them
to
permanent
Housing
Solutions
as
well.
So
thank
you
guys
for
your
support.
C
G
I,
don't
know
about
our
ability
to
place
them
in
jobs,
but
I
do
know
that
a
number
of
people-
I-
don't
have
an
exact
number,
but
I
know
that
a
lot
of
families
that
I'm
talking
to
day
in
and
day
out,
have
found
some
job
placements.
So
we
did
have
an
opportunity
to
move
some
families
to
Motel
6
in
East
Ridge
at
a
much
lower
rate
and
quite
a
few
of
the
ones
that
have
been
in
Lookout
Valley,
actually
turn
that
offer
down
because
they
have
found
jobs
in
Lookout
Valley
already.
G
C
Well,
I
I
know
that
was
one
thing
that
I
was
concerned
about,
as
well
as
when
we
went
to
the
County
Commission,
making
sure
that
these
individuals,
you
know
and
there's
jobs
out
there
to
be
had
and
I
didn't
know
if
we
as
the
city
were
tracking
that
Sam
or
if
we
could
report
back
I,
am
interested
to
know
if
we
were
able
to
help
help
these
individuals
find
being
replaced
in
jobs,
because
that's
really
the
long-term
sustainability
piece
of
this.
Besides
the
affordable
housing
piece.
E
Yes,
sir,
the
vast
majority
of
employable
households
have
found
employment.
A
good
deal
of
them
are
working
in
Lookout
Valley
in
the
fast
food
restaurants
and
in
different
gas
stations
and
stuff
close
by.
We
are
dealing
with
a
few
households
where
the
head
of
households
are
disabled
and
not
able
to
work,
but
we're
still
working
to
ensure
that
they
have
a
long-term,
stable
housing
placements
as
well.
